hii! hopefully you’re not swamped with requests or studies 😓
but can i request a hyper fem reader (uses she/her) that also wears a mask just as much as ghost? always wearing pink, gets her nails super long and glittery, pink gun, pink knives with stickers. like she is only ever seen in a mask. only way she can express herself is through make up and the 141 always notices little details or changes. even after killing and enemy and there’s blood across their face and mask but still mange to look so cute and bubbly.
could you use the callsign you use? i feel like shark would totally fit this!
have a good day!! ^^

Tumblr media
OMG???? LIKE?? YESS???????
I FUCKING LOVE RHIS IDEA SM!!
(dw bbg- studies r getting better :))
141 with a hyperfem masked female reader
When your first recruited and joined the task force everyone just stops and stares when you walk into the room.
They’re confused when your face is covered, only eyes being visible, makes them even more intrigued with you.
They’d 100% unconsciously move to the side to make a path for you when you walk by.
I feel Soap would be very interested and excited whenever you get new nails, always super sparkly, pink, pastel, and covered in charms and pearls.
Soap is always the first one to see and the one to pick out your next colors. His favorite combo being pink and green.
Shark would call everyone baby girl when they’re all grown men with balls (hopefully y’all saw that tweet).
“Is you LGB? cuz your gun pink” -Gaz
Constantly leaves glitter everywhere you walk.
Definitely gave everyone ‘1 whore 1” pins with a hello kitty with a pink AK behind her for Christmas. Which they all wore on their vest.
You would give out stickers as a form of praise and reward like teachers would to kindergartners.
Price would keep all the stickers you give or just leave behind in your path.
“Soap!” You walk into the rec room, not even bothering to look for him, just calling out his name (not the obnoxious loud kind of yell). He immediately would drop whatever he’s doing, a conversation, a game, a task. Knowing by your tone and excitement in your voice that you already have a new set.
“Oohh! Even better than the last” He says, smiling when you lay your hands out for him, he smiles even more when he sees that you picked charms that he recommended.
“I liked last weeks better, had more glitter” Ghost sudden appearance made you both jump. Almost bumping into him since he was leaning over your shoulder behind you.
Sometimes during briefing, you’d rest your head on one hand and the other would be around Soap’s shoulders, ever so often scratching his head and ruffling his hair like a dog. Some recruits would mistake you two as a couple, they’d comment how they can tell you’re the more dominant one.
Ghost would always be next to you, sometimes by coincidence, but mostly by preference. Whenever you two walk into the room together you always call him your twin or your mini-me.
“Can’t tell the difference, huh?” You asks the latest recruits, elbow resting against Ghost, pointing between the two of you. Even though there’s a very obvious height difference, your dramatic lashes and pink eyeshadow boomed through your balaclava, you had pink guns and knives in your holster, pink and yellow glow sticks on your belt, and Ghost was a 6’4 built like a Greek God british man.
But the rookies are too intimidated by both of you that they’re too scared to even disagree. Just nodding vigorously as you skip away with Ghost following behind.
“Take cover!” You yell, tossing a grenade across the barrier, signaling you’re teammates about the blow. Within seconds the ground shakes and you can hear bodies being thrown due to the impact. Unexpectedly to them a cloud of pink and glitter exploded along with the grenade.
“What the fuck?” Gaz looks up after a light layer of glitter dusts on top of him. The rest of them looking up and seeing the pink in the sky.
“Rest in pink” You bow your head to pay your respect.
“Shark..” Price speaks up beside you, the rumbling of the truck going on rocky terrain constantly rocks your body against his. You immediately snap to look at him, almost making jump from your crazed but happy eyes.
“Why don’t you wipe all that off, sweetheart?” He asks, holding out his handkerchief for you, motioning to the blood that’s splattered across your mask and whatever it could touch on your uncovered part of your face.
“No”
“Why not?” Gaz asks, from your other side.
“I don’t wanna smudge my makeup :(“
“Shark, did you do something different with your makeup?” Gaz asks once you walk into the meeting room to meet the rest of them. Yes, you did do something, there are little white and magenta accents in your eye lashes. Gives your eyes and lashes a highlight of color.
“Why yes I did. Thank you for noticing, sweetie” You pinch his cheek and sit on the empty seat next to him.
“You changed your highlighter too” Ghost speaks up from next to you, he can tell with your eye shadow and slight nose contour that you switched to a more finer and brighter highlighter.
“Did you change how you do your eyeliner? Looks bolder” Soap asks, inspecting your eyes closer.
“I think you look nice overall, hun” Price chuckles at how they inspect and comment on every little change of your appearance. Your just proud that you’ve taught your boys well, being able to know the names of every makeup technique and step.
“You got a little bit of Shark on you” Price interrupts Ghost mid sentence to point out the small patch of glitter on his shoulder.
A couple days later Ghost stops him for the same thing.
“Cap, you got a lil Shark on you” He taps him on the back and shows a small strawberry sticker that was stuck on his vest.

I’ll make it up to you - gojo x gn! reader
Tumblr media
wc. 1.1k | NOT proofread
contents! angst to fluff, comfort, gojo calls you clingy, neglect, cute nicknames, he does everything to make your anger gone, crying, overthinking, negative thoughts, praise.
Tumblr media
you missed gojo so bad.
right now, you were just watching a movie or whatever you could do to occupy yourself. while gojo is out there hanging out with his friends, it’s been awhile since they’ve seen each other. you thought this wouldn’t change anything in your daily life.
but after a few weeks, it’s all he’s been doing. he’s always outside with his friends, barely acknowledging your presence. you get that it’s been quite awhile, but you’ve been feeling neglected.
You weren’t clingy whatsoever (maybe you were) but you missed him so bad. every damn time he came home he’d either be too tired and sleep right away or he’d play video games… with his friends again.
it was the same process all over again. you were getting tired, you were already having a rough week. you needed your boyfriend…
at the moment, it was currently 12:59 am. Where the fuck was your boyfriend?? you decided to text him, worried about his being.
You
baby, where are you? it’s 1 am already, you okay?
baby?
baby?
can you come home already? its kinda late
baby answer me
you were worried, he usually came home from their hangout by 7 pm or even earlier. though why was he taking longer? yes he’s the strongest he can take care of himself yeah yeah but it was your boyfriend. finally after a few minutes (it took 30 minutes) before he responded.
Gojo
js out w my bros dw
wow. he finally responded, in like one of the worst ways ever. he would usually reassure you sweetly that he’s okay and he’d be back quickly in 50+ messages, whenever he’d went out longer than usual. but this? its not him. it was a dry response, maybe someone took his phone?
You
when r u coming home?
baby?
Gojo
can you like stop?
stop being so clingy it’s annoying
im just hanging out w my bros
and im not gonna come home till for a little while
the reason why i hung out with them was to escape your clingy ass
so stfu for a moment
.
.
.
… what the fuck? im clingy? when im just worrying about your wellbeing?? you already had a bad day and just wanna cuddle with your boyfriend but he adds to the stress.
like the petty person you are, you take your things and leave his apartment with teary eyes. if he calls you clingy, might as well distance yourself from him. nobody to wake him up, take care of his drunken state, cook him breakfast, and all that.
….
a week passes by and not a single sign from him. he didn’t bother to text you, call you, go to your apartment, whatsoever. you guys don’t usually fight, and when you do it doesn’t last this long. he would always be to go to you first and apologize.
you were overthinking, maybe you were a burden to him? was he cheating on you? will he break up with you? negative thoughts clouded your mind as you cry your heart out and cuddle your pillow.
before suddenly, a ding comes from your door. was that finally gojo? was he here to apologize and comfort me? you fixed yourself before opening the door, the moment you opened the door it all answered your questions.
Oh. it was just a delivery man…..with a bouquet but instead it was filled with money shaped into flowers, a cute basket filled to the brim with your favorite snacks and food. Till you realize the “delivery man” had snow-white hair..
“gojo..?”
“baby..I’m sorry please? I know it’s not enough but fuck.. im sorry, im sorry…can we talk?” he looks up, finally letting you see his eyes. he looked, tired. and so did you.
“okay…” you say. you were glad he was back, you missed his touch, his face, his everything.
he gets inside and you close the door behind him. when he lands the items on a table, he suddenly hugs you.
“Baby i’m sorry I don’t know what i fucking said I didn’t mean any of that you know that right? please im sorry ill make it up to you… I just- I just..”
“Baby calm down, we’ll talk about it after you collect all your thoughts.”
he nods in agreement, before he nuzzles his head deeper into your neck taking in your scent. oh how he missed you, how bad he fucked up to the. point you guys haven’t interacted each other for a week.
“I’m sorry… I was just in a bad mood after my friends made a joke about hitting on you… I poured my anger on you, nothing was your fault. It’s all mine.. please forgive me baby I’ll do anything to make up to you..” he started to kiss your neck.
God did you want to cry again.
“don’t you know how much that hurt me?” tears started to roll down your cheeks.
“I know baby.. it’s all my fault blame it on me. I’ve been neglecting my cute and beautiful baby.. you don’t deserve it please don’t cry..” he wipes your tears and cups your face before kissing you all over your face
“Please just don’t do that ever again..” you hug him tightly. you were so happy and sad at the same time. after all those overthinking… his reassurance was what you needed the most.
“Of course, my love. please remember I don’t find you clingy or annoying, even if you were clingy I love every second of it. I love every bit of you. please don’t stop loving me like that, im an asshole fuck me. im sorry you had to deal with this asshole but this asshole loves you very much.” with every sentence, he gave a kiss on your face.
“I love how you make me breakfast everyday, the way you wake me up so sweetly, the way you text me to see how I’m doing, how you clean my clothes for me when I’m too tired, draw doodles on my chest with your fingers when im asleep, kiss me and put a blanket over me when you see me shiver, I love all of you and the things you do.” he continued.
He kisses you long and deep. you couldn’t stop the ecstatic feeling in you when he said all of those words. oh did you love him so much, and so did he.
Safe to say, you guys spent the night in each other’s arms. he spoiled you a lot the very next day, or rather for the past few weeks.

Could I request general nsfw hcs for the Ikemen Prince boys pls?
(A/N): Hellooo! Yeah, of course you can - hope you enjoy!
Tumblr media
IkePri NSFW Headcanons x GN! Reader - Part 1
Warnings: Smut | minors DNI, i put a lil crack in here too dw
Character: Gilbert, Silvio, Keith, Sariel, Rio, Clavis, Notko, Ikemen Prince
Word count: 1.014
Tumblr media
Gilbert von Obsidian
i will sit here forever and say: this man is not a top
no, no dont say it - no he isnt
will act like he'll top you only to fucking bend at the slightest bit of pleasure
literally just touch his chest in a slightly sensual way and watch the magic happen
hes absolutely whipped for you so it doesnt take long for him to get hard
also happens at really unfortunate times
,,hello rhodolite, are you sti- ...oh''
i think over half of the fandom hcs him as German
so, because i'm German too, i can FEEL the German words sipping out during sex
just cute little grunts and a little ''verdammt...'' in between
yeah hes the scary man that threats the entire kingdom but in bed - hes the actual little rabbit
i will die on that hill btw
i think he likes aftercare but doesnt want to admit it
just wordlessly cuddle him afterwards and let him be the big spoon and everythings fine <3
Silvio Ricci
cocky bitchass
hes a tease and he knows it
is a big edging fan
like to bring you close enough to almost feel the sweet release - only to stop and ask you whats wrong
WHAT DO YOU THINK; SIR ASSHOLE
he toys with you, yeah but he can be sweet to
CAN be
when you've been extraordinary good that week, he'll consider letting you cum a little sooner than usual
with his cock buried deep inside you and his low voice right next to your ear
i think hes not big with the praise but slips in a little ,,you're doing so fucking good...'' here and there does the trick
wants to have total control, so i think he likes bondage quite a bit
you once ripped the rope in two and this mans ego was up in the sky - he made you do that after all
a dog on the streets and a... even wilder dog in the sheets
Keith Howell
okay so, this ones a little bit different
we have two choices here
cute, shy bottom keith and uh, fucked up top keith
means: mans def a switch
shy keith is really careful not to hurt you
you've got the beeeeeest of both worlds
he is BIG and he has a lot of strength
so when you're on top of him and he grips your thighs - mans leaving marks that wont leave for days
hes just so lost in the pleasure, hes a brabbling mess
is a little too shy to moan loud but after some time hes getting VOCAL
now, alter! keith is completely different
i think hes not into bondage, he'll just hold you down himself
pressed into the matress while fucking you like you're nothing but a toy
he doesnt fucking care if you make too much noise
scream and let everyone know you're his and his only
oh yeah, hes a lil bit possessive. just a lil bit.
Sariel Noir
has a whip and is not afraid to use it
i feel like hes less in for the sex and more for the foreplay
also big on bondage
he ties you up nice and pretty and just watches
hes slowly letting his whip explore your body - not hurting you but also not letting you feel too much pleasure
oh no, this is for him
he loves to watch you struggle agains the ropes or shudder because of his cold whip
he isnt too mean of course
youre not leaving until he fucked you
doesnt bother to untie you, but that doesnt bother you either, right?
hes slow but precise, hitting all the right spots
i swear he could go all night, he just has it in him
hes dealing with eight princes daily, his stamina is from another world
Rio Ortiz
service top, service top, service top
hes just like a dog fr
he'd do anything for your pleasure
against the wall? yes. in the middle of the room? no problem. a quicky behind a fricking pillar? whatever you want.
100% has your name on his dog collar
will eat you out while you pull on his leash
100% knows what to do based on how strong you pull
feels accomplished when you moan his name while cumming
just moan his name in general
hes big on aftercare
whenever its cuddling or taking a bath together, he'd do everything
im so sure that he would slip out of bed (or.. from behind a pillar lmao) to get you some tee or cake or whatever you need
you just need to snap your fingers and he turns into an obedient little dog who would do anything to please you
Clavis Lelouch
this one was a bit hard, tbh
i think hes the kind of guy that would finger you a lot
but just fingering you in bed would be boring, right?
right, thats why sexy time with him is almost always when you're not alone
on a banquet? he sure as hell is going to slip his hand inside your clothes
hey, hes a leg guy! surely the guests will understand that he wants to rest his hand on you thigh!
because thats what they think hes doing
100% exhibitionist
we all know how much he loves showing off his lover
would also fuck you on his balcony at night
theres no chance someone would see you two, but he doesnt tell you
loves to see your face go from ,,fuck, they could see us!'' to ,,fuck it if they see us.''
Nokto Klein
royal whore #1
definetly a top, and a fucking sly one at that
memorized the entire kamasutra
sex with him is never getting old, this man has new position every time you two sleep with each other
his sex drive is h i g h
has no shame either, whenever hes horny he just goes to fetch you
youre cooking? well, now youre not anymore
acts like he would fuck you in public but really doesnt want to
you body getting railed is his sight alone and no one elses
it a fucking tease
much like Silvio, it takes some time before he lets you cum
loves the faces you make and sometimes teases you with them
would 100% counter anything with ,,sure, but last night you didn't seem to mind that much~''
even in public
someone rip out this mans (talented) tongue please

Crowley x Aziraphale Season 3 "Rejoice" (but it's really sad and angst, will be making a happy ending at some point though)
PART 1
"No but Crowley please I do love you"
(This whole thing is set like I don't know...a couple months after season 2 ending?? They haven't spoken, and Crowley is feeling pissy and petty, Aziraphale is feeling sad and sorry. And whatever her name is, the girl who is supposed to be guarding the bookshop just isn't there at that time i guess.) Sorry not sorry for spelling mistakes (AND I SWITCH THROUGH MULTIPLE POINT OF VIEWS THROUGH THE STORY??), and I'm going to repeat again this is ANGST and ,FOR. NOW. does not have a happy ending, I will make one if asked.
AZIRAPHALE'S POV!!
It was a late afternoon, let's say on a Sunday? I sit in my office doing absolutely nothing, for once. The rest of my day is cleared, although there may be problems in the upcoming hours, none now. What shall I do? Check on my dear Crowley of course. I've been "checking in" (not stalking or anything) on Crowley since day 1. As the days continued I've gathered a few bits of information. 1. Crowley hates me (Was spoken in a drunken spiel weeks ago) 2. Crowley has oddly drove past the bookshop everyday. 3. As soon as Crowley got home after the whole "i forgive you" deal, he burned all of the books inside of his household.
Now I get why he's done all this, I mean I would to I he were him. I mean. I hurt him. The one person who've I've never even been very cross with in my whole life I've hurt. Has I really lost mu best friend? I mean for somebody's sake, the man I LOVE? I think, with my free time today, maybe I should pay my dear Crowley a visit....
At first, I decided to go back to my beloved bookshop, it was almost the time that Crowley drove by everyday so maybe I'd catch him there? Get him to come in for a cup of tea? A cup of tea? I'll be lucky if he listens to me for 5 seconds. Or even at all. Well not to worry about that now, I have about 30 minutes till he..arrives? Drives past? Well.
CROWLEY'S POV NOW BITCHES
Its er been a month since my confession to Aziraphale. For the first time I have no idea what to do with my day. It was easy at first, distracting myself. I went to the movies, tried to do a few things humans enjoy, drove past the godforsaken bookshop everyday. I don't even know why I do that last one. I mean really what are the odds Aziraphale shows up out of the blue and invites me in for a cup of tea? Well they aren't very good....but I still have hope, hope that one day this angel will come to his senses. Come to me. I may be pissed but I don't hate him, and I've missed him a lot. But I'm not ready to forgive him yet. So I don't even know what I want from him.
Well would you look at the time. Even though I don't have anything to do, guess I'll do my daily "maintenance" drive past Azi's shop. Nothin else to do anyways.
AZIRAPHALE POV NOWWWW! (dw they will have their exchange soon)
What will I even do if Crowley does come in? Apologize? Confess? Confess what? That I liked him when he first told me his thoughts, that I was just a coward? I mean I chose Heaven over him. I tried to get him to come with me but I understand why not. Why he couldn't. It'd have physically and mentally pained him to come with me. He thought I wanted to change him but I didn't. right? No I didn't, I love Crowley the way he is.
Even if this plan fully backfires. At least I'll get to tell him how I feel. How I've felt.
UHHH CROWLEY POV MFS
Left, Right, Straight. Only 2 more turns till I drive past the bookshop. What am I even hoping for?
AZI POV
I'm just going to sit out front. It's a nice day anyways. Even if he doesn't come by this time, at least I have enjoyed being here.
CROWLEY POV
Turning the corner. And for sata- hea- somebody's sake is that? No. It can't be.
I slow down and roll down the window. "Azir- aziraphale?"
"Hello Crowley, I think..no. I know, you don't want to talk to me but, can you just come inside? For a cup of tea? Like old times? We need to talk "
Old times? I don't understand this angel, how much has really changed? How much have, I changed? But, I'm intrigued to see what this is about. "I'm not sure how much time I have, I have an uh very VERY busy? Yes. Busy schedule today..but I'm sure I can come inside for a few let me just park the car"
Busy schedule? He has the same schedule everyda- Well at least he's coming in and didn't just ignore me.
INSIDE THE BOOKSHOP (WARNING ANGST UP-AHEAD)
"Hello, Crowley, err, tea?" aziraphale asks hands shaking slightly. "Uh yea sure, but uh why did you want to talk?"
Want to talk? I sound like a school boy who's just gotten in trouble at the headmasters office. PULL YOUR SHIT TOGETHER CROWLEY
"Well..I mean, we..ended on a rather depressing note the last time we spoke and I just wanted to t-" Aziraphale was cut off by a rather loud snort from Crowley. "Wanted to what? Try to convince me to come to Heaven with you again? Wanted me to forgive you and everything be just fine between us?" Crowley remarked rather annoyed like. "No, no? No! None of that where would you even get the idea that I would? No. That's not what I wanted to say. I wanted to explain how I felt." Aziraphale said, rather breathlessly like he'd just ran a marathon. "How you felt? Well there isn't much more to it is there? I mean you obviously don't like me. Love me back?" Crowley said letting more hurt in than meant. "No. No Crowley you've got it all wrong I do. I do Love you. I love you. I loved you when you asked me to stay with you I just did'n-" Azi was cut off by a rather loud. Growl? from Crowley. "You just loved Heaven more. If you loved me so much you would've stayed with me. You would've chose ME."
"No, but Crowley please, I do love you. Just let me explain."
As Aziraphale waited for a reply, for a nod, a yes, to keep going. Time went silent. It was like these next words could make or break them. After what felt like hours, years, decades. All that Crowley said was.
"I forgive you."
Then he left. Turned around and walked away. Then he slammed the door shut.
(PART 2/2 IS OUT ON MY TUMBLR PAGE!!!! HAPPY READING EVERYONE)

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗
oof only 5 okay!!
i was gonna do 1 per fandom but then i realised that came to 6 so screw it u get 6:
The Engraving (BBC Merlin)
Arthur had somehow got into a situation wherein he had to bugger the man who was – let’s face it – the closest thing he had to a best friend, and unless luck was very much on his side things were going to be awkward forever. Camelot has been stricken by a terrible drought! Fortunately, Merlin has found a magical ritual that can bring back the rain. Unfortunately, it requires group sex - and Merlin is a virgin.
this was one of the last merlin fics i wrote n its a very stupid and silly and fluffy gangbang. really enjoyed writing the 'everyone lives happily ever after' AU on this one. very fun :)
Golden (Doctor Who)
Good gracious, it had been so long since he’d been seduced. He’d forgotten what a delectable experience it was. After an exhausting run-in with the local monsters, the Doctor takes Jamie to a hot spring to relax.
THIS IS ANOTHER SMUT. SORRY. very honest answer here. this is my dw piece i go back to most often. love the atmosphere of it.
And I'll shiver like I used to (LOTR)
He could taste it on his tongue, the salty tang of the sea, fresher and somehow saltier than the sea he knew. He could feel the sand, soft and light underfoot, warm from the sun. 'Sam,' the voice had said, saying his name so tenderly, so carefully, as if it were something precious, something to be treasured. 'Oh, Sam. I’ll wait for you.' Samwise Mason is a junior member of the Stonemason's Guild of Haven City; he works hard, but doesn't stand out. He dreams, again and again, of a beach with white sand and a kiss goodbye. Samwise Mason is making a statue.
tough call here but im still so pleased with this one i worked so so hard and i think it's the most romantic thing i've ever written
Constellations (The Witcher)
"I know how soulmarks work. If a person has two names writ upon them by destiny, then one is to guide them to their true love and the other to their worst enemy. Everyone knows that." / "That’s an old wives’ tale." When Jaskier was fourteen, two names appeared on his skin: 'Geralt' and 'Yennefer'.
VERY tough call here as i wrote a lot of witcher fics i still love but hand on heart this is the one i most enjoyed writing. blasted it out in like a week iirc. great stuff.
the world won't wait till you're older (DCU/Shazam)
Shazam didn’t understand how taxes worked. He always seemed kind of lost when they talked politics. Wally often had the sense that he was nodding along with things he didn’t really understand. He knew what vaping was. Inexplicably he knew what TikTok was. Weird guy. The Justice League try to adjust to their newest member. They know he's hiding something from them, but in their line of work everyone has secrets. Shazam's no different. Is he? Or, the Justice League accidentally inducts a child and then deals with the fall-out.
obvious choice haha!! my most popular DCU fic!! its a banger i hope to match it one day
time to time (Back to the Future)
“Will you shut your damn mouth and listen to me?” his other self hisses. He gulps in a breath, and breathes out; then, resolved, he does his best to shake his head. “No,” he says. “Whatever you have to say, I won’t hear it – having any knowledge of my relative future could –” His other self claps a hand, hard, over his mouth. His palm is damp. Clammy. Emmett makes a protesting sound against it but before he can wriggle free, the other him speaks. “Marty dies.” A cloud passes over the sun. The Brown family are on vacation, taking a break from the stresses of 1986. It's a beautiful summer day. What could possibly go wrong?
hnghh got a lot of bttf fics i love but this one remains the stand out for me. obsessed honestly.
thank u!! i'm not going to send asks bcos im lazy but for once i will tag some people uhh ok @uighean @limerental @bg-sparrow @megamindsupremacy @wromwood

@tbb-appreciation-week DAY 3: TECH (09/05) — Everybody Lives AU | Reunion | "Please, talk to me."
characters and relationships: Tech, Omega, Crosshair, Hunter, (Wrecker and Echo are mostly background)
warnings: mentions of blood, head wound, trapped down a crevasse, Tech falls but not like That dw, one (1) Star Wars swear word
read on AO3
“Tech. Tech!”
He opened his eyes carefully at the call of his name, blinked something warm and sticky away from where it was slowly trickling over his temple and into his face. Raised a hand to wipe at it, and it came away red. “This is… not optimal.” 
“Understatement of the kriffing century.” Omega’s voice floated down from somewhere above, and he started to tilt his head to look at her- OW. No, that hurt too much, so he stopped and carefully tilted it back to the original position. 
“I believe Echo would say, ‘Language’,” he said instead, wiping his bloody hand on his trousers. 
“Yeah, well Echo’s not here right now. Are you okay, Tech?”
“I am still alive. What happened?”
“One moment we were crossing the ice, and I looked away, and the next second there was this huge CRACK, and when I looked back you were gone and I looked down the crevice and saw you bleeding.” The words came out in a rush, like she’d taken a huge breath and let it all out at once. “You were out for almost ten minutes.”
“Wonderful,” Tech said flatly. 
Something dripped into his eyes, and he wiped at them again, smearing more blood over his gloves. He winced at the momentary burst of pain it caused, white spots dancing in his vision as he closed his eyes. That head wound was starting to get more and more impractical, not to mention the potential brain damage if he’d hit his head too hard. He heard shifting and scraping above him, and he looked to see a shadow move from one side of him to the other, casting a layer of blue-gray on the ice to his left. 
“I commed Hunter a few minutes ago. They should all be here by now.” Omega’s voice started to take on a note of worry, and Tech forced away the floating spots in his vision to think about the distance between their location and the Marauder, Hunter’s estimated speed, and the time it should take for his older brother to get there. “Wrecker also said to keep you talking and awake, because you might have a concussion.”
“They should be here momentarily, barring any interceptions,” Tech reassured her. 
“I said I didn’t think keeping you talking would be a problem because. You do talk a lot. Crosshair said it was your toxic trait, whatever that means.” She carried on like she hadn’t heard him. “Maybe he meant one day you’ll talk so much that a bounty hunter will poison you for it.”
“That’s… not what it means.” Tech frowned, then explained the true meaning of the phrase to her. 
Omega paused for a while. “Ohh. That makes more sense.”
“I thought so, as well.” Tech felt his eyelids drooping, fought against it and straightened against the canyon walls. 
“Tech?”
“Hmm?”
“Are you still awake?”
“I would not be able to answer you if I was.”
“I know.” Omega was often puzzling to Tech, what with her random bouts of childish whimsy, but by now he thought he would find it even stranger if she were to suddenly lose them. 
He heard pounding, then the sounds of something scuffing against the ice, then Wrecker’s voice boomed down into the crevice. “Hey, Tech! You down there?” 
“Yes. Did Omega not tell you?”
“She did. I just wanted to hear your voice.” Wrecker often had a habit of doing illogical things for the sake comfort, but then, they all did once in a while. Tech couldn’t help a dazed smile at the thought of his brother listening to hear him from the top of the crevice. 
“Tech? Tech!” Hunter’s voice now, sharp with concern, a bigger shadow hovering on his right compared to Omega’s on his left. Tech pulled himself back into alertness to reply. 
“I am… still awake.”
“Just hold tight. We’re gonna get you out of there.” He heard Hunter direct the others to make a setup of ropes and pulleys, with Omega keeping up a constant stream of grounding chatter, to which Tech replied less and less. 
“Tech. Tech!” That was Crosshair, raising his voice and leaning dangerously over the edge, Tech could see now as he looked up through a haze. “For kark’s sake, talk to me.”
“I thought talking too much was my… toxic trait,” Tech mumbled. 
“Not now it isn’t.” The voice was suddenly closer, and he opened his eyes to see Crosshair hovering over him, suspended from a grapple line. “You look horrible.”
“Thank you.”
Crosshair snorted, hooking a second line to Tech’s belt. “You’re welcome.” He called up to the others, and Tech rose towards the bright glow of the ice.

Throwing shoe contests
Alex
I feel like he would be the kind to speak arabic with that horrible western accent
Will defo tag team with Farah to make fun of him
Will also console him when he feels bullied
"You're doing great baby, it aint your fault you are linguistically challenged. DW we still love you"
That kind of shit
Will teach him niche curse words and tell him it's a compliment
Will watch from afar how he gets decked by Farah lol
He has a crush on Farah, say what you want. And I will bully him relentlessly about it.
I will, however, be his wingman and tell him all the things she likes/dislikes. Will teach him how to cook and season AND, most importantly, how to evade the flying shoe™
Laswell
MOTHER
I wanna be adopted by her and her wife
Will chase her with adoption papers until they are signed

I can see her make my blood boil by teasing and annoying me
But I would give that vibe back tenfold

Can't handle spice? Blasphemy, but I shall make you a serving with minimal spice.
König
Strap in, this is gonna be a long one
Listen up you Austrian Fuck
Honestly, I feel kinda bad for him because,
If he speaks English, I would have a meltdown over his pronounciation
If he spoke German, I would have a laugh flash over his dialect.
There is no way he could evade my bullying
Constant bickering over whose pronounciation is correct.
Listen you fuckwhipe, it's "Brätzel" with a nice and short ä NOT "BREEEEETZEL" OR WHATEVER THE FUCK YOU CALL IT.
This would all be in good humor
Not
Will bond over mutual hate of English and American"bread" listen, i dont know what bread ever did to offend you so much to lead you down such a dark path of mutilating its recepie but pls come back to the light
Cook off, because I like Austrian dishes and I will bribe him with Maultaschen, Röschti and Fondue.

Mutual agreed silence
The germanic awkwardness is not felt between us.
The 'tism will also be happy, 10/10

Listen I have an endless list not only in German, but Swiss German too, which is infinitely more cringe fight me
I would not be above using French and Italian terms of endearment either because, do you know how sappy they are? You'll get a stroke just hearing them
Mon bijou, Amore, mon chéri, Caro, mon âme, Tesoro, Chouchou, mon coeur *insert gagging*
Can't rlly curse him out in my dialect since there's a 85% chance he'd understand it all, but also
He could not curse me out in his dialect bc there's an 90% chance I'd understand it all lmao.
Can and will constantly complain that he is TOO DAMN BIG and promptly abuse him for whatever one can use a large strong man for.
Will compliment on said strength and revel in his subsequent shyness over the compliment.
I could see myself be overly agressive with compliments for the sole benefit of turning him beat red or very quiet.
I love Nietsche and Kafka, two german speaking authors that the majority of german speakers hate with a burning passion. Naturally, if he were bed ridden with injury or sickness, I'd read him works of the two to him.
I am such a kind and compassionate friend, am I not?
Anyways that is all lol enjoy

so remember this bahooey? if you don't feel like clicking, uhm basically i took the screw you pusu band, tuyu's/omutatsu's bus-chan from the songs anoyo-iki no basu ni notte saraba and shuuten no saki ga aru to suru naraba and wondershow-ified her cuz she somehow ends up getting in some of my ruikasa posts (that barely exist cuz i almost never make them. dw my head is brimming with other less angsty ideas. [insert fluffy beach scene here but we're not talking about that now])
and well... i never really mentioned what happened to ruikasa with the inclusion of bus-chan to wxs soooo uhm. here.
so you know how bus-chan's songs are about suicide, right? uhh yeah... (i think you know where i'm going with this I'M SORRYYY)
uhm MEGA trigger warning suicide under the cut (uh oh. also besides the trigger warning this text post is VERY long)
uh huhh. so my ultimate scrunklies end up oofing themselves. don't ask me how or why. somehow and somewhy (a part of me wants to say they deserved this for eating my brain packed with fandoms at their fixer dinner date but also. THEY DIEDDD WAAAAAA)
i'm thinking for tsukasa it's more of a kako ni situation where he somehow messes up on one of their shows and it all just. spirals down from there while for rui we just. jump right to anoyo-iki
and right before darkness, a butt ton of white triangles cover their vision, as if they're entering sekai and all that jazz (they oof separately btw. and in numerical order, 1 goes before 2)
and then when they come to (apart from each other obviously) they wake up in essentially the real world, just. there's no one there. not even miku. (also did i mention it's like midnight forever. heh 12:00) so they explore this "sekai" and stuff! and it's just you know blah blooh bleh what is this place is this where you go when you die i must've deserved this then. where this au starts is essentially shuuten no saki "a warm flower bed, how inviting.../and bathing under this sparkling river.../and at night, all of the stars, they're just so close/but even so, there isn't anyone here!"
and before you ask yes. i am sitting on the floor, on my knees, raising my hands, asking myself what i have done and why to reach this
i'm literally just doing this on the floor
Tumblr media
and theeen. they finally find each other. at first they're like OH MY GOD WHERE WERE YOU WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE with the huggies and the crieses and then the realization sets in WAIT YOU DIED TOO NOOOO YOU NEVER DESERVED TO DIE TTTTT^TTTTT just. "i just never wanted you to ever end up like me"
did i forget to mention. uhm time in this "sekai" (i'll keep using quotes idk what to call it) works differently than time irl, so irl the whole looking for an endpoint thing takes about a week, but in the "sekai". honestly who knows how much time has passed.
anyways from that point they're just working out their feelings. the main goal here is to have the accept what has happened and move on, i guess? they're supposed to find their self-worth (which in this state? is going to take a while.) but also. ruikasa confessioooon hehe!!! so back when they were still alive they had crushes on each other but of course. never got around to saying it. so now they've confessed and are trying to make the other see what he sees and then they slowly start to regret oofing themselves
from the start of this thing about two days has passed irl and yeah everyone pretty much found out they're gone (saki was lying on the floor screaming crying the liquid water out of her body. leo/need suspected something and was met with that scene. and they're all going to comfort her. basically time to take a break from whatever this above paragraphs are.)
anyways when they (scrunkles) finally accept they are worth something and regret oofing themselves and are like. "if there's an endpoint, a way out of here, please, i want you to go, just take it and leave" oh my goodness finally
the sun rises and miku FINALLY arrives (not like any miku or version of miku bound to any sekai but THE miku hatsune) (the appearance of hatsune miku) and she's like "hi i'm hatsune miku, not the wondershow miku but THE hatsune miku big deal i know. so i see you've finally realized your true feelings once more and blah" and they go "okay so can you... i don't know... resurrect us into the real world of humans?" and then she goes blink blink "i may be the one to watch over all of the sekais, and maybe control them but even i only have so much power. i can take you to another place, but it won't be what you expect." and then they're like "...what--" and then miku takes them to ~the in between~. you know. the in between of all the sekais to ever exist. the white triangley space where you as in the player can talk to miku. anyways cue journey by deco*27 (the miku version)
so miku's like "welcome to the in between! this is the place in between all the sekais and explanation stuff there are about as many sekais as there are people probably and whatever and here's rin and len and everyone else, say hii" and then she goes "so. as vocaloids we can just show up in any sekai whenever we want, but once we enter, we get another persona influenced by the feelings of the creators, or in your and mafuyu's case, creator and can't leave. in your cases thooouuugh, i'm pretty sure you can just. hop in and out of a sekai kind of like how you do normally, except when you exit a sekai you go back here rather than the real world. you can also enter a sekai and project onto their devices too! so you're basically one of us vocaloids, without the robotic voice" and then rui's like "...so if i hop in say this sekai i'll interact normally and stuff, just when i exit i go back here" and miku goes "mhm!" meanwhile tsukasa's just. "WHERE IS SAKI'S SEKAI I NEED TO APOLOGIZE TO HER NOOOOWWWW SHE'S PROBABLY CRYING OVER ME" and kaito's like "okay okay. hold on i'll pull up the school sekai for you" and yay tenma siblings reunion!!! and he explains his situation and stuff and his boyfriend follows him and they explore all the different sekais like me scrolling the ruikasa tag on ao3 and whatever.
i do feel like they'd probably hang around the empty sekai more (cuz ~ eMoTiOnS ~ and ~ fEeLiNgS ~ and they have hands on experience with the suicide and the self harm)
wow the freakish amount of crack-fic i could work on from there is stupid. just imagine not only tsukasa, but rui too showing up in the street sekai. "hmm. i sense a new presence." "WAUGH HOW WHAT WHY ARE YOU HERE" "wait HOW DID THEY GET HERE" "guys calm down they're just rui and tsukasa??? i mean yeah, how did they get here but why are you guys scared of them??" "WE HAVE TO BE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE FREAKING DEAD HOW-WHA-WHY-WHAAA???" "wait they're dead??? oh my god what's going on???"
hweh that's all =w=

on being a woman [1] in praia, cabo verde
(small warning: men being gross but nothing too too bad, dw)
i just think it's a little sad that my whole time i've lived in boston i have the urge to live in a society where people are kind, where people help each other when they can, and where people say "hello" and "goodnight" to each other. then i land in this lovely city and a handful of people kinda make me wanna stop participating in society
(a) the concert cab driver
i went to go see neyna w some friends! however bc of some logistical things i had to go alone via taxi. in this 15 min taxi at 1am [2], the driver asks me about where i'm from, i answer, and i talk the way i do to all cab drivers. while i was building up the courage to ask him for his number [3], he offered his number. i thanked him!
he asked me if i like to drink, if i like to smoke, and we laughed about how good the nightlife / beachlife is in praia. in the ten seconds before stopping the car outside the venue, he asks me if i want to go smoke with him after the concert. i nervously laugh no i'll be tired with my friends, pay him, and open the car door. i saw him stretch out his arms. i agreed to the hug (ppl are touchy, i wasn't really surprised at the gesture)
and then he kissed my cheek. not in the latam, descendant-of-the-iberian-peninsula, be-polite-to-your-aunt way. he let out a laugh and said "see you later"
my friends and i leave the concert a few hours later. thankfully a taxi that just dropped off some ppl (going to the venue as a 4am night club lol) picked us up! for whatever reason i sorta hide my phone when i'm in public / crowded places, so when i go into my apartment, i notice i have missed calls. i have unread messages. his name pops up on my screen and i tell him i got home safely, that my friends called a taxi before i could tell them about him
after a sunday morning text, i decided to mute his notifications, and forgot about it
(b) dinner tonight
some of the students are celebrating that it's someone's last night in praia (he and his boyfriend are island-hopping before they head back home). and stories pop up.
my nonbinary friend (that self-describes as being man-presenting and does the gender-binary-at-travel thing too) talked about a taxi driver asking them to sleep with him after the ride.
the white woman phd student talked about getting a cab driver's number, ghosting him, and accidentally getting into his cab a few weeks later (she didn't recognize him). how he was quiet until she realized it was him, how he asked why she didn't respond Halfway through this 10 min ride, and how she had to pretend not to understand him (when she perfectly knows kriolu, port, and eng).
(c) the walks to the beach
the beaver school cohort (all women-presenting) sharing stories about the ways that men approach us and ask for our numbers one day and walk down the street holding their girlfriend's hand the next day. how walking from the beach to our apartment at night became a "no-no" not because of common sense but because of common lived experience.
(d) a conclusion
this is prob common everywhere that has a more "friendly" society [4], but i feel like it's shocking me bc for the past four years i've been used to strangers not caring about each other (disease scares, less catcalling, less help when i drop something on the floor, etc), so idk how to be.
soz for the non-conclusive conclusion, but i wanted to share in case ppl have any tips on how to live as smn who's not a cishet man. tyty
(also pls go to cv! sometimes if ur a tourist ppl give u free things <33)
---
[1] much like oomf's vegetarianism, i'm nonbinary ("veg") in the usa and still nonbinary outside internationally but act as a woman ("meat-eater") there. i think it's easier not to correct ppl when in other countries bc language barriers, cultural barriers, and rare (perceived) availability of trans neutrality / acceptance (the "vegan food" of this simile) ... in which i turn invisibility into a privilege (joke) ??
[2] the concert starts at 2am lol
[3] the venue was far-ish from the main part of the city. it's common, even advised, to get a driver's number to make sure that u Have a way back home
[4] how i learned NOT to wear my high school uniform to the local mall once i turned 15

hiiii dalek post. ik we all know the daleks are overused but i was thinking about all the stories earlier and wanted to do an episode by episode breakdown and see where i personally think they’re utilized well.
overall i think daleks have a tendency to be used as a villain in stories where it doesn’t really matter if they’re daleks. like think of a dalek story and if you could replace them with cybermen sontaran alien of the week etc and not see a difference. then it doesn’t need to be daleks. and they are used like this a lot. two things dw writers should keep in mind when creating dalek stories are that daleks should be used sparingly and strategically. so let’s look at the episodes and see which ones fit the bill:
series 1: dalek and bad wolf/parting of the ways. dalek is incredibly good and that’s pretty widely recognized. it’s the first dalek story of the revival and we see the doctor reconciling with what he thinks is the lone other survivor of the war. you definitely can’t swap out the dalek for anything else. the bad wolf/parting of the ways villain doesn’t technically have to be daleks, but their use still feels impactful since it’s the first big nuwho story with them and it establishes that they’ve survived the time war.
series 2: army of ghosts/doomsday. this does not have to be daleks. these are good episodes but the cybermen are definitely the more relevant enemy here what with the established parallel world business. nothing hinges on the fact that specifically the daleks are there.
series 3: daleks in manhattan/evolution of the daleks. i don’t have a very good memory of these episodes but i don’t think they need to be daleks. there’s like a human-dalek hybrid (insert hybrid joke) that has some philosophical consequences for the doctor but other than that it’s more of a new york story than a dalek story.
series 4: the stolen earth/journey’s end. hopefully we can all agree that these are wonderful episodes. but i need us to be real with ourselves and ask if the daleks need to be there. if this was a cyberman story instead, would anything about the plot fall apart or need to change? the answer is no. this is textbook example of overuse of daleks.
series 5: victory of the daleks and the big bang. victory of the daleks is kind of a suck episode. but it does matter that the dalek is a dalek! you can’t change it so that the british army accidentally builds a slitheen or whatever. plus we get the doctor’s moral compass freakout over there being a “good” dalek, a la series 1 which is always good to see. the big bang has A Dalek in it in which it shoots the doctor and river makes it beg for mercy. that in itself is significant because of the whole daleks don’t do mercy thing.
series 6: no dalek episodes!! rejoice!!
series 7: asylum of the daleks and day of the doctor and time of the doctor. asylum is a very good dalek episode. it raises and answers the question of what you do with a defective dalek and shows us daleks in a completely new setting. obviously the fact that they’re daleks is crucial. day of the doctor is like. yeah it’s the time war there’s gonna be daleks. time of the doctor has a whole host of enemies which the daleks are a part of. they could be removed but so could any one of the other enemies. it’s the sheer number that’s making the story work, so i don’t feel like their use is unnecessary.
series 8: into the dalek. another “good dalek” concept!! another completely new way to show us daleks, this time from the inside. this is definitely a unique dalek story where rusty’s use is crucial to the plot.
**an aside here to say that yes there have been three separate episodes dealing with the concept of a “good dalek” where we get to see the doctor’s moral compass go haywire about it, but i don’t think that that is a repetitive storyline. the doctor will always abhor a dalek that deviates from their idea that they are all irredeemable, because then the things the doctor has done to the daleks as a whole are no longer justified. they could meet 100 “good daleks” and go through this every time.
series 9: the magician’s apprentice/the witch’s familiar. this is a davros story so it makes sense that the daleks are there. they’re kind of side characters in comparison to davros and missy, but obviously you can’t replace them with anything else. satisfactory use of daleks.
series 10: pilot. definitely moffat’s laziest use of the daleks lmao, they’re there for two minutes for absolutely no real reason. i think everyone was officially tired of the “one dalek story per series” rule if that was even still a thing.
13th doctor era: resolution and revolution of the daleks and eve of the daleks. i’m gonna be real i don’t remember a thing about the first two episodes. i think one of them is about dalek cops which is admittedly funny. eve of the daleks is a very good episode buttt the dalek could be replaced with almost anything else.
that’s all of them!! after going through each episode i’ve honestly come to the conclusion that moffat’s dalek stories are some of the better ones, at least considering the qualities of using them sparingly and strategically. he doesn’t have a single dalek finale (while rtd has 3 and chibnall has 3 dalek specials), rather he works them into existing stories or creates stories that really delve into like. the dalek psyche. rtd’s daleks mostly feel shoehorned in to me. again, not to say the episodes are bad, but the daleks don’t have to be daleks. and i think a good dalek story should necessitate the use of the daleks.

got some hot goss for you. however, it is all >1 week old, so it's cooling off now. you don't know that though and future me probably has a fuzzy memory, so... I travelled back to Ottawa for 4 days last week. It was a fun, sexy, and secret little getaway to see my new lad and potentially also friends.
I was in town for less than 4 hours, when DS and I ran into my mother at a parking lot. Yes, I wanted to die. Yes, the first thing I said was "please don't tell dad". Yes, it is real fucking awkward running into your conservative, catholic mother, while on a secret trip with your secret boyfriend. It is especially awkward when, as far as she knows, you are supposed to be working a night shift in another country, in a city which is further than 5 hours by plane. yes, yes, yes. Otherwise, I'd say that the interaction went well. She agreed to keep it secret (girl code?!), and because she was pressed for time, she could not linger to say anything more than a quick 'nice to meet you'.
I had small hope I could keep the trip a secret from everyone else (delusion!), but for some reason, TK decided to check his Find My Friends app at the most inconvenient time ever. He saw that I was at the airport and told DK and my father, who were right beside him at the gym. So, around the same time that I ran into my mother, I was receiving multiple texts from all of the men in my family, asking me "how are you doing?", "any plans this weekend?", "How's Seattle", "what's new?", "Let's arrange a facetime!". nosey bitches. I love them.
So, I came clean. Everyone now knows. A small burden was lifted from my chest and replaced with a sense of relief (wait until you move back home baby). DS and my friends had a good laugh. Mom and Dad respected my request for some privacy amidst my mortification. And TK requested a quick catch-up-coffee. and I realized he was unwell. (wow, minor heartbreaking plot twist). In the end, it was a great weekend, and I was happy I went, but it was a little bittersweet to leave.
I haven't been journaling as much as I would like. In my sad defense, not a ton has been going on to journal about, but I think there is another reason (she knows that there is another reason!). don't get me wrong, this is the best thing to have to complain about (and I don't like using the word complain), but DS is notably more extroverted than I am. I also think that the distance is more uncomfortable for him, than me. Initially, I had thought that he wanted to chat/video call this often, because he was worried that I was lonely and sad in a foreign city (making Seattle sound a lil' more romantic yeah?), but now I suspect it is because of his own internal factors (I'm not going to spell it out for you). I've tried to gently tease some of these topics out of him, during little convos here and there, but I do worry I am not best equipped to comfort him in a way that would have a lasting impact (Dw, I am not trying to make his emotional health and insecurity my responsibility or whatever you're worried about) (I am also currently deal w/ family stuff, so maybe I am just spread a little thin right now).
But as a result, I find that the little emotional energy which I typically reserve for reflection in these diary entries, has been depleted. I know it won't always be like this though.
I look forward to working day shift again.

family headcanons - first year boys
the freedom i get to have is wonderful
these are mainly for the people who families we don’t know about
kirishima
he has 2 moms and a plethora of sisters like so many that it isn’t even funny
so he drinks his respect women juice everyday at every hour on the dot
he’s the oldest!!
though living with that many women and being the oldest has caused him to go soft on almost all girls
he knows that they can take care of themselves but he doesn’t give them his all which bakugou calls him out for
he can’t help it!! but he definitely gives his all when he’s fighting mina (he knows she can handle it)
he probably ends up with a bunch of kids and they would deadass be almost all boys and one girl who is the youngest and essentially the angel because she isn’t bad or rowdy
definitely his princess “dad! you said you didn’t have favorites!” “i dont! out of you boys...”
scold him for that! no favorites!! (though you have a favorite too out your boys and let’s just say dad takes second place)
sero
mom + dad and too many siblings to count (12? most are twins though)
he’s a middle child like perfectly in the middle; 6 older and 6 younger - 4 older sisters (2 twins), 2 older brothers (twins), 3 younger sisters (1 twins), 3 younger brothers (triplets)
so poor thing needs lots of love
his older brothers prank him all the damn time and has no problem doing it when his friends are over
his older sisters always wanna test out their makeups on him or give a whole wardrobe redo
his twin set of younger sisters demanded tea parties every thursday but when he went to the dorms he felt out so he would face time them and have it while he did hw (he even bought himself a tiara and boa)
his younger brothers are who has the same quirk as him so whenever he comes home to visit he always shows them some of the new stuff he learned
when he has kids he’s only wanted one of two despite his large family
he might think he wants a quiet home but he found out he likes it loud so he has like 5 kids and all girls and they will beat you up even if dad says no
kaminari
2 goofy ass dads and when i say goofy i really mean it and an older brother
they both are his dads but his older brother used to have a mom (does that make sense?)
this boy was raised hearing bad pickup lines
now to be honest his behavior towards women didn’t start till like puberty and it wasn’t bad
like the stuff he does is pretty tame compared to m**nta 🤢 cause denki knows boundaries and when to stop
he absolutely looked up to his older brother for everything and still does
so whenever his brother calls or face times he immediately picks it up even if he was talking to someone else he does not care no one comes before his brother
he deadass would probably want an army of kids (that’s a joke dw) but he’d probably have like 3 and i want them to be triplets
those 3 on their own are crazy lil boys
so add their father into the mix and you are set for disaster (your house has plenty of burn marks from denki + the boys using their quirks)
he definitely has his kids annoy bakugou at any given chance
tetsutetsu
2 dads one strict one soft one
adopted and youngest out of 5
i mentioned already that he became a hero because his oldest sister was but then got injured too badly to continue
but with his brothers aka the other 3 he roughhouse with and they tend to break plenty of thing when they do
strict dad has major anxiety cause of this and is on the brink of choking one of them
soft dad does give a glare though and tells them to roughhouse outside
they used to play pranks on each other (mainly on tetsu) but now he’s at the dorms so they just send their pranks to him
i mentioned that he goes over one night a week to eat dinner with his family!!
now he’s like kirishima and has a bunch of kids and their first kids were born on the same day 😒 “bro!” “bro!” “no way!” “yes way!”
but he has the opposite though all girls and one boy
he is a jungle gym for them and lets them do whatever as long as they don’t get hurt
so we see who the disciplinary in the house is
shinso
single mom who works as a nurse

October 1, 2020 — 6:18 PM
Min Yoongi’s phone feels like it's burning a hole into his back pocket. It’s a heavy presence, weighing like concrete enough to bend his spine. His hands itch to reach for it, to check for messages he knows he won’t receive. But in the back of his mind, he thinks—desperately and senselessly, that if he wishes hard enough, then maybe it’ll come true.
I should be glad that she isn’t calling me, he tries to convince himself. The itch continues to grow, licking at the back of his mind like a fire begging to be extinguished. I should trust her decision. I should be proud of her. But there’s always been a difference, after all, to what Yoongi should do and what he wants. It’s a difference that he has fought to ignore for years now.
“Hyung,” a soft voice calls out to him, a hand placed gently on his shoulder. Yoongi blinks slowly out of his trance, his eyes dry from staring out his car window for too long. He doesn’t turn in his seat, refusing to face his companion in the backseat. “Hyung,” the voice calls out again, this time shaking him vigorously enough that Yoongi has no other choice but to turn lest his shoulders get dislocated.
“What do you want, Jimin?” Yoongi growls, sneering at the boy. Jimin smiles sheepishly, but he doesn’t back down under his glare.
“Sorry. You were gripping the wheel so tightly that I was scared you were going to break it.” Jimin shrugs nonchalantly, but there’s an edge to his tone, betraying his worry. Yoongi releases the wheel at once, switching to picking at the rips in his jeans instead.
“Didn’t notice. Sorry for snapping at you, I was just…” Yoongi trails off, expression glazing over once more. What was he trying? What was he doing here?
Jimin’s pupils flit all over Yoongi’s face, searching for something. “We’re not going to bring her home anymore?” he asks, but there’s a note of finality there. He knows that they aren’t going home with them tonight, at least not right now. They’ve been parked a block away from Namjoon’s childhood home for a few hours now, sitting in Yoongi’s car and waiting to see if you needed them to help you escape. Jimin has been watching Yoongi all the while, keeping track of the small changes in his friend’s expression.
They are hard to pinpoint sometimes, but Jimin sees them all. He sees the way Yoongi’s brow furrows slightly, sees the way his teeth nibble on his lips in worry, sees the way his head jerks every time he hears a sound, thinking that it might be his phone about to ring. Yoongi is like a pot about to boil over, hardly keeping everything together.
To many people, Yoongi often appears to be as unmoving as a rock. He hardly allows his emotions to control him, and he has always been proud to call himself a level-headed person. And for the most part, Jimin agrees with that. Yoongi is and always will be someone who thrives in times of turmoil, someone who relies on his wit to get him through adversity. He seldom gets angry, rarely raises his voice, never acts cruelly. He’s the person that everyone in their friend group often comes to for advice and support, as he’s always the one who seems to have the right thing to say.
But all those things begin to crumble, however, when it comes to you.
Yoongi is still human, too. He bends, he breaks, he yields—and he does so, especially for you.
“No, we’re not bringing her home,” Yoongi replies. The admission is there, hidden in plain sight. His words are laced with defeat, but it is a defeat that has been accepted long ago. Long before his text conversation with you.
“Then what are we waiting for?” Jimin asks, not unkindly. Even still, Yoongi winces. Jimin’s real question is there, hidden in plain sight as well. What are you waiting for?
Yoongi sighs, resting his forehead against the wheel. He hears Jimin shift in his seat, feels his presence get closer as he leans forward to place a comforting hand on his back. “Nothing,” he says. He breathes deeply through his nose and counts to three. Releases it. “We are waiting for nothing.”
Jimin hums and says nothing more. They sit there in silence for a bit longer, watching the sun’s final moments in the sky before the moon takes its place. The street lamps turn on, bathing the streets in its dusty yellow luminescence. Under the lights, Yoongi’s skin looks tired and worn, like a paper that has been crumpled and smoothed over multiple times.
“I wonder if they’ve finished speaking by now,” Yoongi says suddenly. He still hasn’t moved from his position, his face hidden from view. It almost looks like he hadn’t spoken at all, but Jimin had heard him. He looks at Yoongi in surprise but keeps his silence. Jimin can feel the beginnings of something about to break, and he is afraid that if he makes a sound, it might stop. Even stones break in the end.
“I doubt it. They have a lot of shit to talk about. Too much, in fact.” Yoongi sounds exhausted, his words slurring together like he’s falling asleep. But he’s never been more wide awake. “I’d have a lot to say if I were them. But I’m not them, nor will I ever be.”
Yoongi tilts his head high enough that he can rest his chin on the wheel instead. He stares blankly at the quiet street, listens intently to the sound of the wind beating gently against his car. Parked out there, in the middle of a small neighborhood in Ilsan, far away from the bustling streets of the city, he can almost trick himself into thinking that he’s the only person in the world—
“You love her.”
—but he isn’t alone.
Jimin says it without a shade of doubt. He says it like it's a simple truth of life, like there is no other possible way Yoongi could feel otherwise. The sky is blue. The earth is round. Min Yoongi is in love with you.
“Yes,” Yoongi breathes it out, the confession tumbling through his lips with quiet ease. It does not struggle; it does not resist. It just is. “I’ve loved her before I even knew it myself, I think.”
“I never thought you’d be the type to fall in love at first sight,” Jimin says it lightly, teasingly. There’s a shrivel of truth to it though, but Yoongi will deny it to his dying day; it’ll hurt less if he does.
“I think it started a year ago. When I was preparing for my junior year exhibition.” Yoongi remembers the long nights working until his hands bled, the recurring nightmares eating at his mind, the fear climbing his spine like a tightrope pulled taut. It’s one of the only times when he had bitten more than he could chew, piling impossible expectations onto himself. In those long three weeks of constant anxiety nipping at his heels, he had almost forgotten what it was like to be human. That is, until…
“She saved me. She taught me to slow down, to be compassionate to myself. She didn’t judge me or scold me or hurt me. She just… cared.” Yoongi exhales, clenching his eyes shut. He can see it in his head: your soft hands carding through his hair, whispering assurances and praise into his ears, guiding him to his bed and staying with him until he’d fallen asleep soundly for the first time in days. “Slowly but surely, I started to fall for her. There was just no other way. My heart refused to have it any other way,” he says.
Jimin hums. “I’d always guessed, but I never thought it was that early. You do have an awful habit of staring, hyung. Sometimes I feel like you have to remind yourself to blink.”
Yoongi laughs, hollow sounding. “I suppose I do.”
“Then why didn’t you do anything about it then?”
Jimin’s question is expected. It should be an easy one to answer, but Yoongi doesn’t quite know what to say. It’s easy to say that he knew Jungkook and you already loved each other long before he realized his feelings, and Yoongi was the last person on earth who would do anything to hurt either of you to fulfill his desires. It’s true, but it’s not the whole truth.
So instead, Yoongi responds, “It’s because I’m a hypocrite.” When he doesn’t elaborate, he sees Jimin give him a confused look from the rearview mirror.
Yoongi chuckles sardonically, shaking his head. His mouth feels like acid, as if bile had risen up his throat. It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, but it would hurt more later if he didn’t suck the poison out right here and now. “Nevermind about that. The point is, I lost my chance and I don’t regret it. Yeah, it fucking hurts like a bitch, but what am I going to do? Cry about it? We’ve all known since the beginning that if anyone is going to get a happy ending, it’s certainly not going to be me.”
“Don’t say that,” Jimin says, frowning slightly. He had spoken so sternly that it impelled Yoongi to straighten up in his seat and turn to stare at him. It’s quite unlike Jimin to be anything but friendly and kind, so seeing him so severe is disconcerting. Though, it did manage to shut Yoongi up immediately.
“This is not the end of the world. You are not going to end up unloved or forgotten. There are people who love you, people who will love you. Don’t you remember? Those were the same words you told me when I got my heart broken the first time,” Jimin says, his voice trembling ever so slightly. Yoongi’s gaze flies to Jimin’s fists, clenched tightly by his sides.
Of course, Yoongi remembers. It’s hard to forget the sight of Park Jimin sobbing relentlessly into his shoulder, fat tears falling like raindrops and down his flushed cheeks. He remembers saying the same words to you, too. He wonders, not for the first time, if his words are as ineffective to you as they are to him right now.
“I know,” Yoongi says. He switches the engine on and watches his dashboard light up. The radio turns on, the last notes of a ballad playing through the speakers. Yoongi puts his hand on the wheel, carefully not to grip too tightly this time. It’s a start, he thinks.
They go home, leaving without looking back.

October 1, 2020 — 9:20 PM
Kim Taehyung locks his bedroom door the moment he gets home, after casting a furtive glance at the closed door across from his. He does not know what he expects; the door across from him has been closed for almost a week now. The entire apartment is still, but he is not alone. The ghost who lives in the other bedroom still haunts him, in more ways than one.
He drops his bag to the floor, still cradling a small bouquet of camellias that was slightly crushed when he had bumped into someone in the elevator. He unpeels the plastic wrapping, gently placing them into the vase near his windowsill. He fingers the vibrant pink petals, but they don’t brighten his room the way they once did. It still feels dark, but he has a sinking suspicion that he had nothing to do with his lights.
It’s me. I’ve changed.
He shakes his head, banishing the thought. No, it’s okay. Everything is fine. You’ve done nothing wrong. And yet, the door across the hall begs to differ.
Typically, this shouldn’t be a problem for him. When everything is said and done, Taehyung is used to this happening. The closed doors, the unopened texts, the cold shoulders. It’s all a process that Taehyung has lived through for years.
Guilt: an emotion that Taehyung has become accustomed to. Abandonment: an action that Taehyung has learned to anticipate. Isolation: a lifestyle that Taehyung has mastered. Every relationship with Kim Taehyung will always lead to these three things, so it shouldn’t be affecting him the way that it is.
But over the last three years, he’d grown comfortable. The people around him had convinced him unknowingly, planting seeds of hope and optimism in a garden he had thought to be infertile. For once in his life, Taehyung had found a home in these people, and he’d do anything in his power to keep it safe.
Or at least, he thought he did.
His original intentions had been guileless; he wanted to help Jungkook because he was his friend. Jungkook had been his first friend in university—if he wanted to be honest, then Taehyung would even say that Jungkook was his first friend in his entire life. The boy was kind-hearted and supportive, wrapped perfectly with a goofy personality. Of course, Taehyung wasn’t blind to Jungkook’s faults, but he was sure that Jungkook didn’t have a mean bone in his body. He had decided back then that he could trust this one, and once he had allowed Jungkook into his life, the rest followed suit.
It was easy to empathize with Jungkook because he was just so… awkward. It was like watching a newborn fawn learning to walk for the first time, except Jungkook had long since outgrown his baby status and should have been independent long ago. Taehyung and everyone knew this about him, but they still gave him the benefit of the doubt. They mentored him, guided him, manipulated him in the wrong ways in hopes of hastening him to change. That was until…
Everything fell apart. Taehyung understood long before the fall that he had played a considerable part in Jungkook’s ruin. His negligence, his willful involvement in worsening the situation had exacerbated everything. He had ignored the signs, had barrelled through with his plans without another thought, all because he allowed himself to be blind to what he truly wanted out of this mess.
If he genuinely wanted to be a friend to Jungkook, he would’ve stopped interfering way before you had gone to Ilsan that one fateful weekend in August. He’d been aware he was doing more harm than good to everyone around him, including himself.
No, he stopped wanting to help Jungkook a long time ago. It had turned into his own personal agenda.
“Fuck!” Taehyung screams into the night sky, slamming his hands against the wall. He grabs the nearby vase, smashing it against the floor and scattering water, petals, and glass across the floor. The impact causes a few shards to imbed themselves into his shin, but he does not mind them, for he does not feel them.
He breathes heavily, gritting his teeth in unspeakable rage. He’s angry, so furious. This red hot searing rage builds up in his body until he starts to feel dizzy, his vision blurred with tinges of black. Why is he mad? Who is he mad at?
Is he mad at Jungkook? Yes, but that isn’t new. He’s been angry at Jungkook for a while now. It frustrates him to no end how lucky Jungkook is without even knowing. How easily love comes to him, how pain and misfortune had never been in his vocabulary until just recently. Jungkook had you, Yoongi, and Jimin for longer than he has. Jungkook has been swaddled in affection since the start but has always been too stupid to see. If he had just stopped being so cowardly, he could have easily gotten the person he loves without anyone’s help.
If he just learned to ask, if he just learned to stop fucking locking his goddamn door—
Just like Taehyung.
They are two sides of the same coin, and it scares him.
This raw, unadulterated rage is not about Jungkook, but himself. It was always about him.
He lets out one last defiant shout at the frigid sky before dropping to his bed in defeat. The fury subsides as quickly as it comes, but it only leaves a desolate landscape inside of him.
He does not know for how long he lies there. When he stands, he leaves bloody footprints in his wake. “Appropriate,” he mutters to himself. He limps over to his door, hobbling to the adjacent bathroom to retrieve a first-aid kit. When he opens the door, Taehyung does not notice the small white box placed in front of his doorway. He nearly trips over it, saving himself by latching onto the wooden frame. He glances down, picking up the box gingerly when he sees a small sticky note tacked on top of it.
If you need help, just knock.
Taehyung looks across the hall. The door is still closed, but the person behind it is not.
His grip on the first-aid kit tightens. The first step is always the hardest.

October 1, 2020 — 1:03 PM
When you had run the moment you spotted Jungkook, Jung Hoseok had chosen to stay behind. He had pushed Jungkook to go after you, had yelled at him when Jungkook had hesitated for that one split second.
“Go!” he shouted, jolting Jungkook to his senses. He sprinted off, but not before giving Hoseok one last look back. Hoseok put on his bravest smile at him, throwing a thumbs up. “Don’t give up yet!”
Even now, ten minutes later, his throat still feels scratchy from how loud he had been.
He sits by the curb where he had parked his parents’ car. Namjoon sits beside him, a few inches apart. The autumn wind sends chills down his back, the afternoon sun doing its best to keep him warm. Though, he reckons that half the cold is because of the weather.
Hoseok clears his throat at the same moment Namjoon does. They share a glance, the beginnings of a smile playing on their lips. They look back to the ground, avoiding each other once more. Hoseok taps indiscernible beats with his feet while Namjoon draws shapes in the air with his fingers.
Hoseok tries again. “Umm. Namjoon,” he mumbles tentatively. He doesn’t know where to start.
“You don’t have to explain yourself, you know. I’ve known you since before you even learned how to walk.” Namjoon beats him to it, like always. “I can guess what you want to say.”
Hoseok hazards a glance at him. His friend is tanner than he remembers, the summer months having done well on his skin. He almost giggles when he notices the line where the edge of his shirt sleeve meets his bicep, the stark contrast of color evident whenever Namjoon moves his arm. It has been a while since he has seen Namjoon with a tan line, as Hoseok was usually there to remind him to put sunscreen on before leaving the house.
Usually.
Hoseok sobers up, the momentary amusement evaporating just like that. How is it that in only one month, so many things have changed between them?
“What do you think I want to say?” Hoseok responds. He tries to keep his voice level and cool, but he knows that Namjoon notices the small ways in which he falters. Namjoon knows how he rubs his neck when he’s nervous, how his ears get red when he’s embarrassed. He memorizes the exact time it takes for Hoseok’s mouth to downturn, forming into his signature pout.
He knows all these things and more. And yet, how could Namjoon possibly know the traitorous things that he has done?
“I think… you got sidetracked,” Namjoon says slowly, carefully. When Hoseok glances at him again, he finds that Namjoon is looking back. He has a contemplative expression on his face, his jaw clenched in the same way that it does when he’s solving a tough problem. “I think you wanted to help me get together with her, didn’t you? At least, in the beginning.”
“I still do,” Hoseok admits, breaking his gaze once more. He stares up ahead, where the park is bustling with children and their families. He watches a small boy swinging on a swing set, while another boy pushes him higher and higher. “Do you remember?”
“Remember what?”
“When you texted me while you were freaking out over how you were falling in love with her?”
Namjoon huffs out a laugh, shaking his head. “Yeah. Of course. How could I forget? I’m still freaking out about it now.”
“I was just… worried about you, you know? I’m always worried about you,” Hoseok says. The boy on the swing set is still going, but one extra strong push from his friend causes him to tumble, landing face-first into the ground. The nearby adults begin to panic, but the boy rises unsteadily, dirt caked onto his scratched up face. But when he faces his friend, he’s smiling and laughing like he has just won the lottery.
“Not an unfounded concern,” Namjoon chuckles, causing Hoseok to put on a small smile. His laughter dies as quickly as it comes. “Was that the time you decided to help me?”
“I’ve wanted to help you since the beginning, but that was the first time I actually did something about it.” Hoseok’s heart is beating a mile a minute, his palms sweaty despite the chilly weather. “I only wanted to find out if Jungkook really liked her or not. I wanted to know if you had a chance before you fell any deeper because I didn't want you to get hurt.”
When Namjoon doesn’t say anything, Hoseok continues. “Even when he admitted that he did love her, I could sense that there was a huge chance things weren’t going to work between them as long as if some things were just… pushed in the right direction.” His voice grows smaller the more and more he speaks, the guilt feeling heavy against his windpipe. But Hoseok is determined to tell him, no matter what happens. It’s the least that Namjoon deserves.
“I suppose, in this case, it would be the wrong direction,” Namjoon hums, but he doesn’t appear angry or upset. Not yet, at least. From the corner of Hoseok’s eye, he sees him nod for him to go on.
“Yeah. I could tell he was insecure, and that insecurity was prone to growing into jealousy,” Hoseok runs a hand through his hair, tugging at the roots just to give his hands something to do other than to quiver. “I noticed that he shuts down whenever he’s cornered, so that’s what I did. I kept pushing him, forcing him to admit his wrongdoings but never berating him for them. So, in turn, he began relying on me for comfort instead of his friends.”
He keeps going, “I didn’t feel bad for it at first. I kept telling myself, ‘It’s all for Namjoon in the long run.’ But it didn’t take long for me to realize that I couldn’t keep helping you without hurting Jungkook in the process. I was manipulating this poor boy, and I didn’t even know it until it was too late.”
Hoseok waits for Namjoon to react. He can’t bear to look at him, far too ashamed even to consider turning. He’s sure he’ll find disgust in his kind friend’s eyes, and he isn’t sure if he’d be able to stop himself from running if he saw it. But Namjoon refuses to speak, probably not until Hoseok finishes his piece.
“Jungkook didn’t deserve what I did to him. All the things he did is nothing in comparison to the punishment I inflicted on him, especially when it was never my place to do so. I fed the monster inside of him when he was nothing but a boy who was just scared. Then, just when he still had a shot at redemption, when she was still willing to listen to him, it was also me who ruined everything. I told her about all the bad things he had done. I told her about—”
“The thing about Jungkook paying to spread that rumor,” Namjoon speaks so suddenly that Hoseok nearly chokes in surprise. He had been so quiet that he scarcely even seemed to breathe. “You told her about it, didn’t you?”
“I… Yes, I did. She told you about it?”
“Yeah. She never informed me who told her, but I suppose it makes sense. But there was something else you said, wasn’t there? Something even she wouldn’t tell me.”
Hoseok nods his head sadly. “Yes. I think she was probably more hurt to find out that Jungkook had been ignoring her in favor of hanging out with me. Indirectly, I fed into her jealousy, but instead of comforting her, I intensified her guilt.”
Beside him, Namjoon releases a shaky breath. “You brought me up.”
“Yes.” There’s no use denying it; after all, Hoseok has always been a terrible liar.
“Did you tell her..?” The question hangs heavily in the air, but Namjoon doesn’t have to finish it for Hoseok to understand.
“No, I didn’t tell her you love her. I just mentioned how she was hurting you by loving Jungkook. That’s all. I don’t think she even had the chance to understand what I meant.”
There’s a moment of silence. The two boys sit side by side, looking to all the world like friends just enjoying an autumn afternoon together. The sounds of children singing, of parents chatting, of lovers laughing try their best to fill the space, but the gap is already too big to mend. At least, not immediately.
“Okay.”
Hoseok startles once more, this time managing to gather enough courage to take a peek at Namjoon. He keeps his eyes low, staring at the mole on his chin. “Okay?” he repeats.
Namjoon shrugs half-heartedly. “It’s done. All we can do now is wait, I guess.”
“But… you’re not..?”
“Mad at you? No, I’m not. Am I hurt? Incredibly so.” Namjoon swallows thickly, his chin wobbling as he finds the strength to keep his tears at bay. “But I can tell you found your way back to the light, and I’m more relieved that you realized your mistake more than anything. I forgive you, but just know that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to forget.”
“That’s already more than I deserve, Joon,” he says shakily. He feels a hand snake around his own, and he looks down to find their fingers laced together. On Namjoon’s wrist, the bracelet he had made for him in the 7th grade is frayed and mangled, but still ever-present. “But… what now? If they truly end up fixing everything, will you be okay with it? If Jungkook is still fighting for her… why aren’t you?”
“Same goes for you, I suppose,” Namjoon says simply. He doesn’t explain what he means by that, but Hoseok is honestly too afraid to ask. He’s always felt like Namjoon knew a little bit too much about things that he shouldn’t. He smiles, but there is a tinge of melancholy there. 
Just out of reach, the way Namjoon has always seemed to be.

October 1, 2020 — 5:12 PM
At first, Jeon Jungkook is surprised to find the park more empty than when he was here a few hours ago. He supposes it is only to be expected, as dinner time is fast approaching and all the families have returned to their homes, preparing for the festivities. In another life, he might have been one of those families, sitting around a table with his brother and parents and eating to his heart’s content. Perhaps he might’ve asked you to join him, just like you had in the past.
He finds you seated on one of the benches near the entrance, kicking away fallen leaves absentmindedly. He takes this moment to observe you from afar, his breath getting caught in his throat when he realizes how long it has been since he last saw you.
His heart aches, the constant heaviness that has made a home in his chest growing tenfold. There are no words to explain the plethora of emotions flying through his head, but all he knows is that at the root of it all, he simply just misses you.
You hear him approach him before you see him. When he looks at you, Jungkook doesn’t know how you’re feeling. He used to be so good at anticipating your mood, always the first one to sense when you were upset or annoyed. Now, you just looked… blank, and for some reason, that hurts to see more than if you had been angry.
Jungkook stops right in front of you, his black boots crunching on dead leaves. You motion for him to take a seat beside you, patting the bench lightly.
“Hi. It’s been a while,” you say softly. You aren’t looking at him, and your hair obstructs him from viewing your face.
“Hello,” he replies, feeling dumb. He can’t think of anything better to say, all the things he had prepared in his mind suddenly blown away with the wind. The sight of you alone makes his mouth go dry, his hands to grow cold and clammy. He realizes, not for the first time, how terribly out of his depth he is.
“This has certainly been a long time coming, hasn’t it?”
“It has been,” he agrees. “It’s almost laughable how long it’s taken us to get to this moment.”
You bark out a laugh, the hoarse sound ringing in the air. “Laughable is certainly one way to put it, I guess.”
“Then why did you ignore me for so long? Why did you suddenly shut me out when you told me you wanted to talk? What happened?” He speaks without meaning to, the words flying out of his mouth before he can think of stopping. If his sudden inquiry startles you, you don’t show it.
“I could ask you the same thing.” You shrug, pushing back some of your hair behind your ear. He can see the slope of your nose, the outline of your lips, the shape of your eyes. He memorizes all these things about you, sees you in his dreams and nightmares, but nothing can ever beat real life.
“I’m sorry.” It’s a start: two words heavy with meaning. What does he apologize for first? The rumors? The jealousy? The betrayal? It wouldn’t matter which one he chooses to tackle first because he already knows sorry isn’t going to cut it, but he has to try at least. This isn’t really about him anymore or about asking for forgiveness. You deserve to know everything he’s done—if you wanted to know, that is.
You blink rapidly, but your eyes are dry. “I know.”
“You don’t have to forgive me.”
“I know.”
“You don’t have to trust me.”
“I don’t,” you say, and it hurts the both of you when you do. Jungkook feels his insides clench, feels his heart collapse in his chest. “I don’t trust you, Jungkook,” you repeat.
“I…” Jungkook has to take a few shuddering breaths, his vision going blurry as he tries to keep it together. He waits for the pain to ebb, but it flows like a river down his veins. “I hurt you a lot. It’s only right that you don’t trust me.”
“I have a lot of regrets,” you say, sniffling. You still aren’t crying, but your nose is red from the cold. He wonders how long you had sat here waiting for him to arrive. How long have you been waiting for him in general?
“I have a lot of those, too,” he says. “I regret being unfair to you. For keeping people away from getting close to you, like a property meant to be hidden away. I tried to steal you for myself, but that’s not a very good thought, is it? I shouldn’t have thought that you were a thing to be kept. You should have been someone I treasured.”
“Then why didn’t you treasure me?” The question echoes loudly in Jungkook’s ears, as it’s the very same question that has weighed in his mind the moment he started to wonder where he’d gone wrong. Why hadn’t he loved you the way that he should have?
“Because I abused your love for me, even when I wasn’t aware of it,” he says plainly. He has known the answer for a while now but refused to accept it until this moment. It feels like a cork inside of him has burst, releasing all the foul, wretched things inside of him and out into the open. And once they start tumbling out, he doesn’t think he’ll be able to stop.
“I think we both knew we loved each other for as long as we can remember. We skirted around each other because we were scared of change, of losing the friendship we had built over the years. We purposefully ignored each other’s feelings and brushed off our friends’ attempts to help us realize something we already knew.”
“We did,” you say. “That was both our faults.”
“But I was never good at bottling up my feelings. It was only a matter of time before the love I had for you began to grow claws and fangs, and somehow along the way,” he pauses, a breath of sorrowful laughter escaping him, “I had gotten lost.”
Your expression morphs then, shifting from pain, to grief, to acceptance. You open your mouth, but nothing comes out. Your eyes look glazed over, like your mind is somewhere else. When you come back down, you already have another question for him. “Why didn’t you ever ask me out?”
He should just say something else, but he can’t help but wonder—”Why didn’t you?”
“I tried—a couple of times. You never noticed they were dates,” you shrug. A leaf from one of the nearby trees gets caught in your hair, and Jungkook reflexively plucks it out. You both freeze when his fingers graze your nape, gazes locking with one another. He jerks his hand back, but doesn’t look away—doesn’t dare to.
(It might be his last chance.)
“I’m sorry for being dense. For resorting to buying rumors so that I could pretend to date you when I could have asked for the real thing. I’m sorry for setting you up with… Namjoon,” he hesitates on his name, and you notice. “It must have confused you greatly, only worsening the doubt you must’ve had for me.”
“It did.” The corners of your eyes look wetter than before, tears dangerously close to the surface. “When I asked you if I should go to Ilsan the first time... You told me to go, even though everyone told me you were jealous of Namjoon. I was starting to believe them, hoping that maybe it was a sign that everything before then had just been a misunderstanding. But that was all you, wasn’t it? Why didn’t you tell me to stay?”
“It was a mistake,” he mutters. He shakes his head at the memory: a frequent recurring nightmare of his as he is forced to remember the moment everything had started to go downhill. “I had realized I was being a jealous asshole far too late, and I was trying to clear my own conscience. I thought that… if I let you go, then you’d think better of me. That I might be absolved of my sins if I took your trip as my penance. I didn’t think you were trying to see if I would stop you,” he explains, but it sounds like an excuse even to his ears.
You sit together, watching the sun begin to set, bathing the world in its orange hues. Jungkook feels empty, wrung out like a towel left to dry. The wounds inside him ache and throb, but he knows they won’t last. As surely as the sun will rise, he will also relearn to feel whole again—even if it means you won’t be there to see it.
“I waited for so long, Koo.” You shake your head, allowing a few traitorous tears to fall. You let out a watery laugh. “ I waited for this moment for so long, but I never imagined it would be like this.”
Jungkook studies his hands. He desperately wants to hold you one more time, but the ship has already sailed. “We’ve already sailed past each other a long time ago.”
You nod your head sadly. “We have.”
“Is it bad that I wish that we hadn’t?” he whispers, but he doesn’t really expect a response from you. He rubs his face, covertly trying to wipe his tears away. “I guess there’s a reason why you called me number two, huh?”
You can’t even force out a laugh. You sob unabashedly, cupping your face in your hands. This is the end.
This is the end of a great long adventure between you and him—the time for your roads to diverge closes in, like a shadow looming over their heads.
Jungkook wraps you in an embrace for the last time. You shake like a leaf in his arms, clutching at his chest like you don’t want to let go. He drinks you in, tries to commit everything about you to his memory. “Thank you for loving me, even if it didn’t work out. Thank you for being my first love.”

October 1, 2020 — 7:07 PM
Kim Namjoon opens the door to his childhood home the moment he hears footsteps climbing up the stairs. He’d done so numerous times already, spooking one or two of his neighbors at his sudden appearance. This time, however, he finds the person he had been waiting for.
“Oh, Y/N. Thank god,” he sighs in relief when he sees you, rushing out the door just as you finish taking the last stairstep. You wobble in surprise when you notice him, nearly falling over with a scream before he catches you by the waist to keep you steady. He pulls you close, pressing your face gently into his chest.
“I’m so sorry for everything. I’m so sorry for bringing you to Ilsan even though Yoongi told us not to go. I’m sorry for not telling you that I knew Jungkook and Hoseok were coming here, too. I’m so sorry for—”
“Namjoon,” you try to interrupt him, but he keeps going.
“—wanting you and Jungkook to reconcile even if you didn’t want you to leave me. You just looked so sad all the time, and I knew you needed to speak to him at least one more time so that you could find closure, but I should have asked you first like a decent person—”
“Namjoon,” you repeat. Namjoon pauses long enough to see that our eyes are red-rimmed from crying, further increasing the panic rising in his body.
“Oh god, I didn’t want you to be sadder! I just… God! I just wanted to help you for once, because you always helped me with everything. I know you deserve to make your own decisions, to be your own person, but I ignored that in favor of following my stupid gut—”
“Joonie, the neighbors can hear you,” you hiss, furtively glancing at the doors opening around them. You can feel many eyes on you, watching curiously at the red-faced idiot babbling like a man possessed. You motion for him to stop, but he’s too caught up in the moment.
“For a while, I thought I could stop myself from falling in love with you, but it was so hard! You have to understand how impossible it is not to love you. Believe me, I tried!” Namjoon all but shouts the last part out, shaking you by the shoulders. “I don’t deserve you! I’m just not a good boyfriend! I’m insecure to a fault, I’m boring, I have mild sleep apnea, I forget to throw out the empty milk cartons—”
You yelp as he continues to shake you, gently having to pry his hands off of you to save yourself from being shaken like a bobblehead. “Joonie,” you say, firmer this time.
He rambles and rambles and rambles. He couldn’t stop even if he wanted to, hands gesticulating wildly like a human helicopter. He’s so wrapped up in his monologue that he doesn’t realize immediately when you take his hands in yours, forcing him to keep still.
“Joonie.”
“—and I’ve never been able to hold a relationship for longer than two months! My past girlfriend even left me after cheating on me the entire time—”
“Joonie.”
“I’ve never been good at being vulnerable and being myself, but you somehow managed to make me feel like I was worth something. You made me feel so so so incredibly loved. You made me feel important!”
“Kim Namjoon!” You shout, finally losing your temper and flicking him on the forehead. That finally manages to stop him, his eyes going cross-eyed like a cartoon character. You could almost see the flying stars orbiting his head. Properly silenced now, you push him back into his apartment, kicking the door with your foot before locking it for good measure.
When you turn back to face him, he’s still frozen where you left him. He stands in the middle of his living room like a robot, his mouth slightly agape as if his wires had been fried. Rolling your eyes goodnaturedly, you pull him to the couch, gently guiding him so that he doesn’t accidentally fall on his ass as he continues to short circuit in front of you. It takes him another whole minute to get his bearings together, but you’re a patient person. You sit in the adjacent armchair and wait for him to speak.
“Oh my god.” He swallows awkwardly, the color draining from his face. “What the hell did I do?”
“Welcome back to earth,” you smile, waving a hand in front of him. “Did you miss me?”
“I always miss you.” It seems as though Namjoon’s weird candor spell is still in effect. He has the presence of mind to be embarrassed this time, however, and you watch amusedly as his cheeks begin to redden. “I, umm…”
“Gave quite a show out there. I didn’t know you could rap,” you tease, your mouth curling up into a smile. The muscles in your cheeks feel sore, almost as if it has been ages since you last used them. This morning feels like it had happened eons ago.
“Sorry. I just… had a lot to say,” he replies lamely. He hangs his head, embarrassed to look you in the eye. “So… I’m guessing you spoke to Jungkook?”
He hears you hum in agreement, but you don’t say anything on the matter. Namjoon has never been one to pry, but his overactive brain can’t help but make connections out of nothing, trying to make sense of the world in desperation.
“I’m guessing you’re here to reject me, right? I’m sorry for confessing to you all of a sudden when you’re already spoken for. It was unfair of me, and you don’t need to try and spare my feelings at all. I’ve been prepared for this since August,” he speaks rapidly, nearly losing his breath in his haste. “It was my fault for thinking we could have happened. I mistook your kindness for reciprocation when I should have known better—”
“Joonie, my love. You’re rambling again.” Your voice snaps him back to reality. He turns redder somehow, sinking deep into his seat.
“S-sorry.”
“Stop apologizing,” you huff, pouting in annoyance, but Namjoon catches the fondness in your eyes. “You aren’t unfair at all.”
“E-even so,” he stutters, heart hammering in his chest. “I shouldn’t have expected anything to happen between us. We were only going to fake date until the end of Chuseok, so it was foolish of me to try and… replace Jungkook, somehow. But I suppose, in the grand scheme of things… he’s a tough act to follow up to, huh? Seven years of loving someone is a long time. I don’t hold a candle to that,” he says dejectedly.
“But you do.” The words slip out before you can stop them. Your eyes widen, shocked by your own admission. Even so, you know what you said is true, and you wouldn’t take it back even if you could. 
For a moment, you think he doesn’t hear it when he doesn’t react. It takes a second for his brain to buffer, but Namjoon had heard you, loud and clear.
“What do you mean?” His tone is soft, hesitant. Afraid, but hopeful.
You shrug your shoulders. You want to tell him everything, but you are impossibly tired, your eyelids like sandbags just waiting to fall. Namjoon must have noticed because he stumbles out of his seat with his arms outstretched, ready to keep you from slumping over.
“Woah, there. I’m sorry for interrogating when you must be exhausted. Do you want to take my bed instead of the couch tonight?” he asks, kneeling in front of you.
You blink sleepily at him, nodding with a large yawn. “I wanna talk to you but I’m tired,” you say, before promptly toppling onto him. He doesn’t flinch at your weight, catching you in an instant. He lets you nestle your face into his neck, and he grabs your arms until they’re laced around his shoulders. Slowly, he gets up with you in his arms, a feeling of weightlessness filling your senses. Safe.
When he tucks you into his bed, the sheets smell familiar and homey. Namjoon sits by the edge, brushing a few strands of hair away from your forehead. “Namjoon?” Your voice sounds muted to your own ears, as if you were underwater. But you don’t feel like you’re drowning, not at all.
“Yes?” He watches you with kind eyes, the same ones he has always had. To you, he looks like a prayer come to life, a promise ready to be fulfilled.
“You’ll be here? When I wake up?”
Namjoon exhales out a laugh, smiling sweetly. I love your dimples, you want to say, but your body feels heavy. Tomorrow. You’ll tell him for sure.
“Yes, Y/N. I’ll always be here. For as long as you want.”
You close your eyes. Tomorrow.
It’s a promise.

Mall is Life | INTRO : She’s Broke, He’s Broke, We’re All Broke!
Tumblr media
Summary: Your dad thinks it’s best for you to pay off the credit card that you just maxed out. Meaning, it’s time for you to finally get your very first job…at the mall. As a true blue spoiled daughter from a very rich family, what could possibly happen? Form a labour union and overthrow the oppressive government with 7 other underpaid and overworked guys??? Or maybe just form a bond with them and have the best time of your life?
Pairing: bts x reader
Genre: mall!au, lowkey a sitcom, fluff, eventual angst, and a whole lot of pure crack
Word count: 5.3k+
Notes: As I’m doing final rewrites for this, I overheard my co-teacher call one of our students a “crack” and I honestly have never related hard to a student. Anyways, transferring this from gdocs to tumblr took sooooo long. I literally aged 10 years. I didn’t think writing in this style would be such a pain so I really do hope you enjoy this! Keep safe and hang on while the world still seems like it’s on its way to destruction.
Posted on: 8th of Jan, 2021

Red
Red is all you see.
Your vision has been clouded by the colour red since the moment you stepped inside the mall.
Sale season is upon you and red tags are everywhere!
Buy one get one for a girlfriend sized “boyfriend t-shirt”, a free cookie if you get 7 drinks, 5% off on your next purchase from Kucci and… Gasp! 75% off for a light sabre handheld immersion blender???
Do you even cook or watch Star Trek or whatever it’s called? Heck no.
bUT IT’S MORE THAN HALF OFF and it looks cool so might as well get it.
Right?
You saunter off towards the sights of free or marked down signs to start making damages.
“Ehem.”
The sound of your best friend, Taehyung’s voice, freezes you in place and you feel like a kid caught in the act of stealing a candy.
Literally, you have both your hands in front of you with your mouth open and watering.
“Just what do you think you’re doing?” His hands are placed on his hips, like a slightly inconvenienced Karen.
“Oh, uh...I was just, you know!? About to admire the general splendour!”
He was like, ya right sweetie.
“Shut up. This isn’t a Jane Austen book.”
Well, one can dream.
And lowkey, you were kinda expecting him to not get the reference.
…or even understand what you just said.
Damn.
You really need to give Taehyung some credit.
He is after all, your best friend and that is an achievement in itself.
“Focus, y/n. FOCUS. We’re here on a mission, don’t get distracted.”
Ugh, right.
Reality hit you again like a ton of bricks.
“And as if you can afford anything! Unless, you’re in for some service water.”
You scoff hard.
Though he isn’t lying.
See, the thing is, your family is rich.
Like rich 𝑹𝑰𝑪𝑯.
Like “rent a whole stadium for your dad’s morning run” rich
You, alone, though?
ʰᵉ ʰᵉ ʰᵉ
“Sorry, you’re absolutely right. We’re here for one thing only and that is to find a job! We’re not leaving until we get one.”
And that’s what you did for the next two hours
Job hunting
You might be wondering, “If we're so rich then why are we looking for a job?”
Well kids, let me tell you a quick story.
Here’s what happened
A week ago, you had probably the most embarrassing yet most eye opening experience of your life.
You were shopping
(like duh do you have anything else to do?)
And your credit card got…
Wait for it…
…………….
🚫DECLINED🚫
◉.◉
Like, that can happen????
Next thing you know, you’re on the phone with your dad and he is MAD
You don’t even know why he is so pressed about it.
Okay, so you maxed out one of his seemingly endless supply of credit cards.
BIG DEAL.
It’s not like he lost a bunch of money.
Maybe to a normal person, yeah…
BUT to you guys?
Come on! He can earn that money back in like two days.
Besides, he always goes on saying that he'd willingly give everything for you, his one and only princess.
bUT NOoOOoo! He has to teach you to be rEsPoNsIbLe with money! You need to be a 𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒍𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏.
"What? You think I'm a money making machine here?"
Well, tbh he kinda is.
"You think money grows on trees?"
Well, technically, money is paper so...ya it kinda does.
"I don't slave around just so you could plunge yourself in all of your whims!"
Uh, actually.
You kinda do though if we refer back to your whole willingly-give-everything-to-you shtick.
So that wasn't real, huh?
ALL MEN DO IS LIE.
smh
Taehyung, on the other hand...
Well, his mother’s old but rich sugar daddy just recently passed away and unfortunately all his money and prized possessions were inherited by his one and only beloved son.
All they got was a couple of stupid jewelry, which did allow them to pay for a new (less glamorous) apartment, but still
Eh.
What a complete disappointment.
11+ years of being a sugar baby, all for nothing.
So now it’s back to the slums for the both of them.
Sad reacs for a fallen warrior.
I’m talking about Tae’s mother, not the sugar daddy...
THOUGh rip for him. Uh,,,,
He’ll be missed? I guess???
(1 like of this post = 1 respect for him)
DW about his mother though. She doesn’t seem quite fazed by it.
“This is why if you find a rich old bastard, make sure he doesn’t have any kids. That or have an affair with their kid. Oh well, on to the next one.” She told you and Tae during the funeral.
It’s been three months since.
She’s currently working at a hair salon and also,,,,
Taehyung thinks she’s seeing someone again cause she’s been using her designated “𝑠𝑒𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑔” parfum.
WHICH you still don’t know if you should be impressed or be concerned about.
Nonetheless, you respect the hustle of this woman. ✊✊✊✊
Unfortunately, her efforts are still not enough to satisfy their expensive needs so that brings us to the present situation.
Actually, it couldn’t have been more perfect though!
You and your best friend coincidentally just happen to be in the same dilemma.
Kind of
Well, not really
Plus, it’s not really the most pleasant circumstance bUT STILL
The point is, you’re in this together and that’s enough for the both of you.
:’)
“Ugh, this totally blows.” Taehyung says as you both sit on one of the food court booths.
“Which one, us not getting any jobs yet or the fact that we’re hanging at the food court?”
“Get used to it, princess. Honestly, you'll find that the food here isn't as disgusting as you think they are." He says as he fishes for his phone in his man purse.
"Well, at this rate, I won't be able to get used to it since I sTILL haven't found a job. Why are the good stores so demanding? Like, an intensive classroom and in-store training only to have a possibility to get hired??? To think that I'm a loyal Louie Button customer!"
(A/n: This is actually a real procedure for Louis Vuitton, at least in my own experience. But I only applied and never went through with the training cause I figured that it just ain't for me.)
You continue ranting your little heart out about how you could sue these stores for unfair treatment.
Taehyung, though, has long tuned you out and has pointed his full attention to his phone.
This is turning out to be a lot more disastrous than what he anticipated.
So he needs to phone a friend in.
Orrrrr a couple.
He's getting desperate, okay??
The entire spring collection was practically screaming out to him when they entered Kucci.
He's a 𝓚𝓾𝓬𝓬𝓲 𝓫𝓸𝔂 through and through.
He hasn't missed a single Kucci season collection in years.
IN YEARS, PEOPLE!
He can feel his right eye twitch at this blasphemy.
"I'm telling you! These stores are absolutely ungrateful-hEY! Are you even listening??"
"No. I thought that was obvious the second I whipped my phone out."
( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)
Rude
He didn't even try to deny it.
"You know, I really don't need you to be mean to me right now."
"Sorry y/n but this…" He lifts his phone up, "is more important right now."
What could possibly be more important than your current problem??
If you don't leave today with any form of productivity, you just might have to sell the entirety of your closet.
And we all know that ain't happening.
"By 'that', you mean?"
His phone vibrates a couple of times, indicating that he just received a bunch of messages.
He instantly opens them, disregarding you once again.
I-
Seriously, thIS bOy!
"Hello???? I'm still here and we're still hideously unemployed!"
He looks up to you with a smile that seems a tad bit too eerie.
Okay, this is somewhat alarming ngl.
"I called in some reinforcements."
Reinforcements... Huh?
What's that supposed to mean?
You stare at him with scrunched brows and mouth slightly agape.
And as if on cue, a male voice rings from behind you.
"Tae! We're here!"
"Jimin! Seokjin hyung!"
Ohhhhhhh
*Looks at the camera*
Them.
♫︎DUN DUN DUN♫︎
For everyone's information, Taehyung grew up a hair away from the poverty line.
He was in his preteen years when their family found success through his mother's sugar daddy.
He didn't grow up rich whICH there's NOthing wrong WiTh THAT.
A person's financial status does not define them.
Taehyung's friends, however, already have a collective definition in your head.
One word
༼ つ ◕◡◕ ༽つ MESS™
♫︎DUN DUN DUN♫︎
A hot mess you are so not willing to become a part of.
Tae keeps them away from you because he knows that they are not the type of people you would associate yourself with.
Which is why you've never met any of them.
...Until today.
♫︎DUN DUN DUN♫︎
Guess being besties with a broke Taehyung means it only makes sense that you finally meet them.
♫︎dUN dUn- ok that's enough of that.
"We got the Code 17 message. I can't believe I'll ever get that from you. This is history, man! We need to celebrate!" Someone says accompanied by what sounds like someone wiping a window.
You look at Taehyung with a very displeased look.
May god and every higher being out there give you strength.
He doesn't even look the slightest bit bothered by what might be one of the boldest crossovers to ever happen.
Also, "Code 17"??? Wth?
"What's wrong? You never ask to meet at the food court… And who's this with--oh." A different, softer voice talks this time.
"You guys remember my bestie, right? Y/n? Well, I think it's time you guys finally meet."
From behind you, Seokjin and Jimin share a slightly wary yet excited look.
Jimin, being the natural people lover that he is, instantly thinks that he's about to have another best friend.
From what he's heard from Taehyung, you two are slightly alike, being a total softie.
So don't be surprised if a montage of things like the two of you going on picnics at the mall garden or watching the premiere of the next Disney movie plays in his head.
Seokjin, on the other hand, being the woman lover that he is, instantly thinks that he's about to score big time.
He's heard a lot about you from Tae but the only thing that stuck (and pretty much the only thing that matters) is that you are HELLA rich.
$ ℂ𝕙𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕟𝕘 𝕓𝕒𝕓𝕪 $
So are we even surprised that what he imagines is him breezing through the luxury section of the mall, with his personal butlers in tow, and having everyone swoon at him?
“Y/n,” Taehyung gives you a pointed look as if telling you to be nice. “Meet Seokjin hyung and Jimin, two of my other best friends.”
Alright, you heard that these people work here at the mall.
So you’re gonna have to suck it up if it means being stuck with them for god knows how long.
You just hope they have some level of bearableness.
(Oh and some form of acceptable fashion taste too please, thank you very much!)
As much as you're not in the mood to smile, you still plaster on the sweetest one you can muster and turn around to face the two----
Oh
(o.O)
oh oh oh oh ho ho ho ho
Hello
hELLO indeed.
One of them has a white button up with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, black slim fit trousers, and a brown newsboy cap like a cherry on top.
He's also wearing a brown apron with a small name tag that says 𝓙𝓲𝓶𝓲𝓷.
The other guy's more casual with his baby pink t-shirt, french tucked into his black ripped skinny jeans.
Personally, you wouldn’t really call them amazing outfits…
bUT SWEET BABY JESUS ARE THEY DOING THINGS.
GREAT THINGS
(Tbh maybe it’s their handsome faces that do it for you)
"Hi, I'm Jimin! It's very nice to finally meet you."
He extends his hand and you take it in a heartbeat because my god that smile.
Wooooooooooo
Now, that's what greets you into heaven.
"Tae says a lot of good things about you and I think- oof."
Cute pink shirt guy (rudely) shoves him to the side.
Jimin almost topples to the ground and it makes you want to stand and check up on him.
The poor cutie.
For some reason, you feel like Taehyung and pink shirt guy get along well.
"AND I'M Seokjin!"
This time, Seokjin swiftly takes your hand without any warning which leaves you feeling flustered.
“Umm… Nice to meet you..?” You manage to politely croak out.  
He gives your hand a kiss and then drops you a sultry wink.  
Thank god you're sitting right now.  
You'd be a lying fool to say that that didn't make your knees weak.  
But ngl, that’s a face that definitely greets you into hell.  
Like, no offense to his handsome face but you are sure there’s something completely devious going on underneath.  
No one can change your mind on that.  
"OKAY! Enough introductions, we’ll have plenty of time for that later... Where are the others??”  
“Hoseok hyung said that he's with Jungkook and they're on their way to get Namjoon hyung." Jimin says as he fixes his hat that slightly slid off.  
"Well, they better hurry!"  
Taehyung DEFINITELY did not have any reasons to cut your introductions off.  
He just did not like how you are practically drooling over Jimin and Seokjin.  
He’s nOT JEALOUS OR ANYTHING  
It’s just...  
It’s not like you’ve never been close to any hot guys before.  
Uh hello???  
HE’S HOT  
And you’re with him 24/7
Wait…  
Do you even think he’s hot???  
Okay now that’s a thought he never considered before.  
Damn bro  
Now Tae’s having an existential crisis…  
anD hE’s dEfiniTEly NOT jEALous!!!  
ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ  
"WE'RE HERE!"  
All four of you direct your heads to the sound of a new voice and you start to think that Taehyung might actually be playing a joke on you.  
Come on!  
THREE 👏  MORE 👏  HOT 👏 GUYS  👏
???  
This can't be real.  
This is literal heaven!  
Gasp!  
Are.  
You.  
DEAD?!  
Maybe you're right about Jimin being what greets you into heaven!
It all makes sense.  
“Dude, we came as soon as we could. We even pulled Namjoon out of his rabbit hole.” The handsome one wearing a sports jersey says. 
“This better be important. I didn’t even get to ask permission to take a break! I’m supposed to be stocking utensils right now.” The handsome one wearing an atrocious outfit of a bright blue shirt and a much brighter yellow pants chimes in.  
The handsome one wearing loose fitting jeans, a plaid button up and a black t-shirt underneath just stayed at the sidelines not saying anything.  
Out of all of them, you think he’s the most stylish one.  
Your eyes meet while you are assessing his outfit but he instantly looks away.  
A noticeable blush blooms on his cheeks and you almost swoon.  
Awww he’s extra cute.  
“Yeah, cause organising cutlery is more important than a friend in a literal crisis.” Taehyung says in a sarcastic tone.  
“So what are we doing here?”  
“What is this ‘crisis’ you are referring to?”  
“Yo, who is she?”  
Namjoon, Jin, and handsome jersey boy all talk at the same time.  
Ugh you need a massage.  
Being surrounded by these broke handsome men is making you lightheaded.  
“This is Y/n. You know, my other best friend.”
“Oh, your money buddy.” Handsome jersey boy butts in.   
Uh EXCUSE YOU, WHAT’S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?  
You scoff hard and loud.  
Taehyung clears his throat and you thought he was going to make a comment defending you or something.  
Oh honey, you are wrong.  
Because for the nth time today, he just brushes you off.  
“Yeah, yeah. Whatever. Anyways, Guys, meet Y/n. Y/n, this is Hoseok hyung, Namjoon hyung, and Jungkook.”  
You didn't think it'd be possible but for the first time ever, you so badly want to rip someone's hair out.  
And not just someone, it's Taehyung.  
Normally, a sassy, moody, rude boy Taehyung doesn’t affect you at all.  
But then again, his negative vibes were never really directed to you.  
And given the current circumstance, you’re also not in the best mood as well.  
So you aren't as inviting as you usually are when you shook hands with the three boys.  
Somehow, even their overflowing handsomeness did not do anything for you now.  
Your presence, however, did something to the three boys.  
AND I MEAN A LOT.  
Confused, attracted, intimidated, confused, in awe, slightly scared, nervous, confused, hungry…  
What? Hoseok hasn’t had lunch and coincidentally, he started feeling his tummy rumble when he looked at you.  
…..  
Fun fact: Hoseok is DEFINITELY NOT A CANNIBAL NOR HE EVER PLANS ON BEING ONE.  
If ever you were thinking...  
“Okay, so here’s the sitch.” Tae starts to explain your situation and everyone listens to him intently.  
Little did you all know, the final member of the friend group just arrived at the food court and is now walking towards where you all are.  
It wasn’t difficult to spot your group with Namjoon’s obnoxiously brightly coloured towering self and the few girls hanging around.  
Probably Jimin’s fanclub.  
“And so, here we are!” Tae finishes, keeping everyone updated.  
"Wow, so you two are looking for an actual job? Like, here? At the mall??" A very baffled Seokjin asks.  
Tae rolls his eyes.  
"Yes. Is that really hard to believe?"  
"Actually, yes. It is."  
Another male voice is heard coming from someplace.  
“Yoongi hyung!”  
Oh great! Another one.  
Surely, this guy’s not that interesting.  
I mean, what are the fricking odds that he’s also an immaculate being??  
You turn around and your mouth drops to the floor.  
No no no no no.  
No way!  
Another freaking gOOD LOOKING GUY HAS WALKED UP TO YOUR GROUP.  
Okay, this is getting unbelievable now.  
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?  
Like, where and how on earth did Taehyung manage to get and round up SIX insanely good looking guys??  
What is this? Are you on The Bachelorette??
Wait no   
It's like Oprah!  
And instead of cars, she's giving away handsome men
You get a hot Asian man, you get a hot Asian man, you all get a hot Asian man!  
OR MAYBE  
Are you on MTV Punk'd?????  
Statistically speaking, a hot guy can have two or maybe three equally hot best friends
BUT SIX???   
ARE YOU KIDDING?  
Is Taehyung like Thanos? Collecting the six infinity stones?  
Thanos? lol.  
If anything, he's more like Henry VIII with his six wives.  
“So you guys didn’t even wait for me, huh?”
Yoongi, oh so casually, just takes a seat beside you   
Without even giving you a single glance or whatnot.  
“I didn’t know you'd be here at the mall today?”  
“Yeah, what are you doing here?”  
Yoongi raises an eyebrow. “It’s a free country, I can be here whenever I want to be.”  
Well, can’t argue with that logic.  
The mall is practically your second home at this point.  
“... Also… uTunes is hiring and uh… I’m applying...”  
You don’t understand why but everyone else looks either shocked or annoyed at Yoongi’s announcement... 
Are you missing something here?  
“Man, you need to give it up! That place can suck it.”  
Yoongi gives Seokjin one of the scariest glare you’ve ever seen.  
It could rival against your dad’s famous death glares that he gives to his incompetent subordinates.  
Namjoon shakes his head disapprovingly, “You’re applying there again?? I can’t believe it.”  
Yes, again.  
This is going to be the seventh time he’s applying at uTunes Records, the most popular music shop there is.  
So many people flock to it even though we’re already in the digital age.  
But he doesn’t question it.  
All he cares about is getting a job there because the employees get to play their own music in the store.  
Do you know how much of a popularity boost that is?  
A CRAP TON.  
On top of that, one of the employees gets a chance to get signed by a record label every year.  
And if you're not awarded by that chance, you can still meet agents and get signed through their many parties.  
Because of that, so many people also apply for a job there.  
But they unfortunately have such high standards which is why even after three years, he still hasn’t passed their vibe check.
"Listen, seven's a lucky number. I have great feelings about this one. Besides, I've built up a strong résumé. Winning one of uTunes' own rookie dj contests must mean something, right? They can't not take me!"   
Wow.  
You've only known Yoongi for a solid three minutes, but you can already tell that he's quite passionate about this.  
"Hyung, all we're saying is that maybe you should consider doing something else? You could do so much more than run after that store." Jimin says and pats Yoongi's hand a couple of times.  
"All of you perfectly know getting a job there could quite possibly set my music career!"  
"Is that really it? Or is it because of a certain Daphne??" Seokjin teases him.  
The rest just mutters an "ooh" or an "aah".  
You seem to have been turned into an accessory.  
You so cannot relate to anything they've talked about since Yoongi came. 
It's like you're at one of your dad's social gatherings and all you can do is smile and nod.  
"ANYWAY," Yoongi interjects in their teasing. "So Tae, you're also looking for a job?"  
Jeez FINALLY.  
Something you can talk about that involves you.  
It felt like you were just back home watching some random show that doesn't require your input.  
Taehyung gives an overly dramatic heavy sigh.  
"Unfortunately, yes. Y/n and I both need one badly. But all the stores had been rejecting us left and right. Like, the audacity!" Taehyung rants all over again.  
Jimin, listens to him intently as if he hasn't heard all of this before.  
Seokjin seems to have been entertaining the surrounding ladies for a while now.
[by giving some ( ˘ ³˘)♥︎ and some (•̀ᴗ-)☞  ]  
Across the table, Namjoon complains to Hoseok about getting in trouble with his boss.  
Jungkook, well, he's just staring at the beautiful pizza this kid next to you guys is eating. (Someone's hungry too, okay?) 
While Yoongi just openly stares at you.  
Welp.  
What the frick are you supposed to do now?
Is Taehyung or anyone going to properly introduce you two?   
No???  
Okay fine.  
Seems like you're gonna have to get used to doing things on your own.  
You smile at him and timidly hold your hand out.  
"Uh hi. I'm Y/n. I don't know if Tae's ever mentioned me to you before but--"  
"Oh, trust me. He's mentioned you plenty. He actually never shuts up about you."  
ʰᵉʰ  
Ok  
You don't really know if he was stating that as a fact or if he's trying to be mean…  
"Oh ha ha… That must be really annoying then."  
"Yeah, it is actually."  
Your small polite chuckle died down your throat.  
Wow and you thought Taehyung can be rude.  
hE'S STILL JUST STARING.  
"Uh…" You finally lowered your hand that he obviously isn't going to shake.  
That is definitely going in your top 10 most embarrassing moments ever.  
God, can someone get you away from this guy?  
What's his problem?  
"SO, can any one of you help us? Like, any tips or something?" Tae concludes his really long and repetitive rant.  
Everyone's eyes FINALLY focuses on Tae again.  
Seokjin snorts loudly.  
Eww.  
He opens his mouth to say something but Tae immediately holds his hand up to stop him.  
"Anyone except you hyung. I don't think you're classified."  
Everyone laughs to that and again,  
ARE YOU MISSING OUT ON SOMETHING HERE?  
Seokjin raises one finger like he's trying to make a point. "If anyone is classified to give tips on how to get accepted, it's me!"  
"Yeah, just not on how to last on one." Namjoon loudly whispers to Tae.  
"HEY I HEARD THAT!"  
Ohhh….  
So,  
Does he constantly get fired from a job?  
Well, that's just sad.  
Hopefully you don't end up like him.  
😳  
"Actually," Hoseok starts, "how do you end up landing on so many jobs? Like, don't they know your reputation?"  
And that's your cue to finally insert yourself in the conversation.  
"Uh, what reputation?"  
"Sweetheart, you don't really want to know! It's not that big of a deal." Seokjin quickly steers you away from the topic but the other guys didn't allow it to happen.  
"Oh, you know. Just that, he's known to be the "job eater" here. Cause he pretty much eats a job and moves on from it in a flash." Namjoon graciously fills you in.  
So you were right.  
That's kind of impressive though…  
But a huge waste.  
"Still! It makes me very much qualified to give the unemployed a tip!"  
"Save it hyung, you might need it for your next job once you get fired from Uncle Aang's."  
Seokjin gives everyone a sheepish smile.  
What's that about?  
It almost looks as if he…  
"YOU GOT FIRED ALREADY?!"  
"Oh you bet I did."  
To be fair, how could he not stop himself from eating the free samples? Those pretzels are literal drugs.  
"You just got that job four days ago. I can't believe it!"  
"I can believe it." Yoongi says out loud.  
Can't he say anything nice?  
"Whatever! Point is, these stores still hire me no matter what."  
"You know what, that is a good point." Taehyung mutters, slowly turning convinced by Seokjin.  
Namjoon groans. "Are you for real Tae? If you want some job advice, maybe ask one from us who has only had one permanent job all throughout."  
"Guys, let's give Seokjin hyung a chance!" Jimin, ever the sweet positive boy, suggests.
"Of course you would say that."    
Not wanting to fade into nothingness, you insert yourself again in the conversation.  
"I want to hear what he has to say."  
Once those words left your mouth, you instantly regret it.  
A.) Seokjin gives you another wink and gives you a flying kiss that has you weak in the knees again- I MEAN WHAT. I SAID NOTHING.  
And B.) Yoongi is clearly not a fan of you sharing your opinions with the group.    
Despite the obvious protests of Namjoon, Seokjin still gives his number one "professional" advice  
And that is to have a perfectly 𝒉𝒊𝒈𝒉 𝒒𝒖𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 résumé.  
"A high quality résumé? YOU? What the fuck are you talking about?" Yoongi says, slightly amused and slightly tired of the older guy's shenanigans.  
"Don't believe me? Fine. But I'm telling you, it's all here on paper!" Seokjin takes out a folder from his backpack and waves it around.  
Namjoon immediately snatches it from him  
"5 pages long?? Are you for real?”  
Seokjin hums and watches smugly with a cocky grin as the guys read through his résumé.  
“Hang on, since when did you do balloon modelling?”  
"I don't."  
Hoseok gasps. "But bro, isn't that lying?"  
"Yeah, duh! How else are these people gonna hire you? You have to sell them what they're looking for."  
"What if they ask you to use these skills that you clearly don't have?"  
"Then you're just gonna have to fake it till you make it, baby!"  
Huh  
No wonder he doesn't last long on a single job.  
"And how's that working out for you?" Yoongi presses on.  
"Well at least I get hired, Mr. 7th Time's the Charm!"  
Yoongi is like ᶠⁱᵗᵉ ᵐᵉ ⁱ ʷᵒⁿ'ᵗ ʰᵉˢⁱᵗᵃᵗᵉ ᵇⁱᵗᶜʰ (ง'̀-'́)ง  
"That's not really the point of having a job, but I guess, whatever floats your boat, dude!" Hoseok finally sides with Seokjin.  
"So everyone is looking for a job then?" Taehyung realizes, "this is so cool if all of us get hired! We'll all face the real world together."  
"All of us except Jungkook though."  
Who?  
Oh that extra cute shy boy.  
You forgot he's here.  
Boy really hasn't said a word at all.  
"Did ya hear that? All of us are getting jobs!"
"You should get one too!"   
"That would be so cool!"  
"So what do you say? What are your plans Kook?"  
"Guys, don't pressure the kid!"  
The guys talk simultaneously, ultimately kind of pressuring Jungkook to say something before he even thinks about it.  
The table falls silent and everyone eyes Jungkook.  
The guys are like ( ・ิ ͜ʖ ・ิ) and ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)  
Jungkook is like (ʘ ͟ʖ ʘ)  
Then the guys are like (≖ ͜ʖ≖)  
So jungkook is like (¬‿¬ )  
In the end, they are all like 
(☞°ヮ°)☞ ☜(°ヮ°☜)  
And through it all, you are just ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ  
What the heck is going on?  
"Yeah, why not?" Jungkook simply concludes and the guys make various celebrating noises.  
Gasp!  
He can talk???  
"Okay, everyone calm down! Let's wait until after everyone gets hired before we celebrate." Namjoon scolds everyone.  
"Well that might take a while considering Y/n and I can't find one!"  
Namjoon places a comforting hand on Tae's shoulder. "Oh relax, there's like ten thousand stores in the mall!"  
"Actually, there are only 613 stores in the entire mall." Hoseok points out a matter of factly.  
You all look at him dumbfoundedly.  
Aaaand he just stares back at all of you.  
Is this some kind of trivia that you need to know if you work around here?  
Are you gonna have to memorise a lot of facts about the mall???  
Oh, you don't like that.  
Seokjin was the first one to react.  
"Dude?? What the hell?!"  
"I got bored once while I was on a break and counted."
Huh.  
Makes sense.  
Yeah, sure.  
Why not?  
Why wouldn't you just go and count the total number of stores out of boredom???  
…  
THAT WAS A SARCASTIC REMARK IF YOU DIDN'T GET IT.  
"Even if there are 600 stores here, there are only like, 20 good stores that exist!" Tae remarks   
You want to say you can't agree more but you stop yourself because you don't think you can handle another cold stare from Yoongi.  
"Are you perhaps pertaining to the high end stores?" Namjoon muses.  
"Yeah. What else?"  
Jimin's eyes widen in shock. "Hold on. So you two have only been looking at that small section of the entire mall?"  
"Yeah. Why?"  
Yoongi chuckles condescendingly.  
"Bros, you know that saying… 'Beggars can't be choosers'?" Hoseok tries to enlighten you two.  
You and Tae look at each other.  
What an epiphany.  
A very disgusting yet important epiphany.  
"Are you… Are you guys saying that… We need to find a job… Outside of that section??"  
They all nod.  
Ughhhhhhh  
You and Tae make an annoyed sound.  
"Welcome to the real world, peasants!" Seokjin warmly tells you.  
Could things get any worse?  
"Hey, at least we'll all be here together!"  
Ha ha 
Great . Awesome. Wow.
"Well, on that note, I really need to get back to work. Lady and gentlemen, may the odds be ever in your favour. Good luck!"  
Namjoon stands and walks away.  
One by one, the other working guys went back to work as well, leaving you unemployed slackers.  
Hey they didn't even give any actual help!  
Wasn't that the reason why Tae called for a… What did they call it?  
Code something something.  
Oh whatever!  
Anyways,  
So to summarize things  
You might end up working at an awful low end store.  
And you're unwillingly stuck with the wrong set of people.  
One of them is a total flirt and an actual pain to society.  
Another one might possibly hate you for unknown reasons.   
This tall dude seems to be really uptight.  
Then there's this guy that seems really weird.
The other one, well… He's cute and doesn't really have any negative points yet BUT you're sure something's wrong with him.   
And the last one literally said one thing during the entire time!  
Oh, you've got a really really long way before you can pay your dad.  
Good luck to you, indeed.

FYODOR OR NIKOLAI WITH A GAMER S/O IM SORRY FOR THE CAPS IM JUST SO HAPPY TODAY WKZBSKSH💖💛☪️💕
DW IT'S VALID I LIKE YELLING TOO WOOOO ♡♡
Gamer s/o is hella precious
Tumblr media
Fandom: Bungou Stray Dogs
Characters: Fyodor M. Dostoyevsky, Nikolai Gogol
Format: headcanons
Tw: light insomnia mention
A/N: I struggled with this one ;;;;
Tumblr media
Even though he spends a lot of time behind the screen, he doesn't really game much
He finds it "a waste of time" and claims it only makes you dumber
Okay boomer Fyodor
It would take you AGES to convince him to play anything with you
Because any puzzle game? He solves it immediately
Any shooter game? He won't even come close to that; he finds it barbaric
He sucks at dating games
Mostly because the way he flirts is so cryptic it's hard to decipher even when he's head over heels for someone, but also because he has no interest in dating anyone who doesn't catch his interest
Rhythm games frustrate him
"Of course you can't hit the keys on time, you're sleep deprived! Your reflexes are bound to be delayed."
He'll be so grumpy after that remark
"I'm not sleep deprived: I slept two days ago."
Help this man
He'll maybe be open to open world/sandbox games
Think BOTW, Minecraft, or Genshin Impact! He'll be tolerant of those
Minecraft is relaxing
He finds it stupid that it's all blocky (smh Fyodor appreciate the beauty of it) but he can't deny that it has a cozy atmosphere to it
But it's only really when he's done with all work for the day and has nothing better to do, that he'll sit down and play with you
It's so relaxing, in fact, that he could probably fall asleep while playing
And he will.
But since you are an epic gamer s/o, who often games late into the night, you'll continue to level up and grind even if there's a sleeping rat on your lap
Tumblr media
"I like traditional games and magic tricks! Computer games are boooring!"
Is what he'll say, but in truth, he'll peek at whatever game you're playing with eyes sparkling
But you can never catch him in the act. For some reason, as soon as you turn around, he's gone.
He's gonna steal your gameboy as well! Most certainly!
But he doesn't really know how to play anything ― I imagine he never had anything modern of the sort
One day, late at night probably, you'll be woken up by frustrated laughter and grunting noises
Turns out: Nikolai was trying to beat a boss fight (with no previous knowledge of the game)
This can go down in two ways:
1. He'll look at you with a defeated smile, and say "I just wanted to have fun like you do. Why is it so hard for me?"
2. He'll laugh in the most unnatural way, and say with a little too much joy :"This is why I prefer killing real people. Hehehehe!"
Either way, you'll end up beating the boss for him, and as much as it pains you...you'll restart the game, and go through all the tutorials with him
He better appreciate this sacrifice, it's like a part of you died along with the lost game file
And he does appreciate it!! As a thank you, you'll get your very own magic show!! (He is not responsible for any injuries that may occur)
He'll be obsessed with the game for the next few weeks 一 he'll play it till his fingers go numb
Seriously it's not healthy
I also feel like he'll really like pokemon games
And animal crossing!! Something about the relaxing atmospheres just makes him a happy lil jester
Although, he'll mostly be in your world, rather than his own
He bothers you a lot
In any two-player game, if possible, he'll instant kill you
Why is he like this
