Buttons

The request from @toomanytookas: I have such fond memories of my grandmother teaching me how to sew on her old Singer. Obviously a WILDLY different context for a million different reasons, but I love the idea of of Pin showing Joel how to sew or just explaining the general mechanics of using the machine. Maybe some physical guidance/touching a la the pottery scene in Ghost?

If you'd prefer to play with other characters, it would be sweet to see her teach Ellie now that she's working at the shop and I imagine she'd be curious about it!

Seams sleepover micro drabble request | 900 words | warnings: rated M for dirty thoughts and slightly dirty talk, outrageous flirting, topless Joel Miller | can be read independently of the series but is part of the Seams universe

‘Nice tits, Miller!’

Joel chokes on his corn chowder as Tommy’s voice rings loud and obnoxious in the half-empty cafeteria, a mischievous glint in his eyes when he makes himself comfortable opposite him, tray hitting the table with a clatter.

‘Seriously though, put them away before Maria sees you. This is a family place, y’know.’

Joel rolls his eyes. ‘Shut up, jackass.’

Tommy studies the familiar green plaid shirt on his brother that is sitting open to the sternum. ‘Buttons fell off, huh?’

‘Aren’t you a regular Sherlock Holmes.’

‘Pin gettin’ a bit rough with ya?’

Joel splutters, raising his fork in what he hopes is a menacing reproach. ‘Hey!’

‘Just jokin’, big bro. And no judgement if she is.’

He scoffs. ‘This is gettin’ real weird, Tommy -’

‘Why don’t you ask her to sew ’em back for you?’

‘She ain’t my seamstress.’

‘She’s a seamstress. And your girlfriend.’

Joel snorts. ‘You ask Maria to do all your chores for you?’

Tommy shrugs and replies around a mouthful of mashed potato. ‘Ask Pin to teach you then. What's that they say about fishermen and fishin’?’

He has a point, Joel has to concede. That’s how he ends up at your studio that afternoon, leaning against the doorframe as he watches you on the sewing machine. He likes the steady, mechanical staccato of the needle, the whirring wheel and the metallic squeak of the pedal as your hands and feet all move in almost nonchalant choreography.

He knows that under that ease lies years of experience, and there’s an understatedness about your movements that makes him stop and stare every time you're at the antique sewing machine.

He waits patiently for a lull, not wanting to disrupt your rhythm. When you pause to inspect the stitching you’ve been working on, Joel knocks on the doorframe.

His lips twitch when you startle, eyes wide as your head whips around at him, and it brings him right back to the day you meet, just a few feet from where he stands now.

But then you break into a wide smile. ‘What are you doing sneaking up on me, Joel Miller?’

He closes the distance with three steps, bending down to drop a kiss on your lips. ‘Just wanted to say hello - and to ask for a favour.’

You stare up at him, admiring the way a stray lock curls over his eyes. ‘What is it?’

Joel tugs on the front of his shirt. ‘Was wonderin’ if you can teach me how to sew my buttons back on.’

You eye his neckline, which is suspiciously low. ‘I thought you were just trying something new,’ you quip.

Arching an eyebrow, he asks, ‘Is it workin’ for you, sweetheart?’

Hooking your finger into the open V of the shirt, you grin. ‘I’m not complaining, but it doesn’t hurt to fix it. Take it off.’

Joel huffs, joking, ‘Buy me dinner first, at least?’

You watch his fingers push the little buttons out of the holes, baring broad chest and freckles with every downward inch. You hum when he gets to the bottom of the shirt and it hangs open, nothing but bare skin under it. ‘No undervest?’

‘Feel like showin’ off today,’ he winks and disrobes with a smooth roll of his shoulders.

You can’t help it, your breath catches - at the strong shoulders, the soft belly, the way he has one hand on his hip - and by the self-satisfied curl of his lips, you know he knows.

Clearing your throat, you stand and take his shirt from his grasp, the warmth of the fabric comforting in your hands. ‘Come sit over here.’

‘We’re not using the machine?’

‘Not for sewing buttons,’ you reply, opening a little box to find matching ones for his shirt.

‘Okay, step one,’ you seat yourself next to him and hand him the supplies. ‘Thread the needle.’

The thread looks more like a blade of the most delicate hair in between his thumb and index finger, and the needle comically small. But his hands are remarkably steady, and he surprises you by nimbly pushing the thread through the eye on his second try.

‘Pull the thread through and keep going,’ you instruct, snipping it off with scissors when you’re satisfied with the length. ‘Now, we need to knot the end. Loop the thread around your finger a couple of times, pinch it with your thumb and pull the end through.’

He does so with aplomb, and you remark, more to yourself than anything. ‘Your fingers are really dexterous for their size.’

Joel wriggles his eyebrows suggestively, the corners of his eyes crinkling. ‘You should know that first hand, hmm?’

A comment like that would’ve had you ducking your head a few months ago. But now, you narrow your eyes at him in playful admonishment. ‘So full of yourself, Joel Miller.’

Dragging your chair towards him, he leans in and murmurs against your ear. ‘Ain’t you the one who was full of me last night -’

Heat rushes to your cheek as he noses the sensitive skin behind your ear. ‘Joel, I thought you wanted to fix your shirt -’

Pushing the needle into a pin cushion, he shrugs and pulls you into his lap with a smirk, his skin hot under your touch.

‘Luckily, I don’t really need a shirt for what I want to do right now, sweetheart.’

More notes: Thank you for this adorable prompt @toomanytookas! I hope you don't mind that I tweaked it a little bit. I love that you have such beautiful memories with your grandma. Mine used to sew and do cross-stitch, I miss her so much 🥹

Venomous Teachings au: the Ninja

Alrighty, time to talk about what would happen if you crossed the Avengers with the Backstreet Boys and threw in some major codependency and emotional issues.

((Wu told them that the writing on their Gi’s are protective runes to shield them from any Dark Magic Garmadon might try to use on them. Really, they’re a part of a spell that Wu uses on them later, once they get ahold of all four Golden Weapons. In reality it just says ‘Master’ in Ninjargon, bc I didn’t want to use the actual protective kanji and couldn’t think of anything else. So just pretend they wouldn’t be able to read it))

The Ninja are an elite team, trained by the renowned Sensei Wu, son of the First Spinjitzu Master himself, and lead by his adopted son, Kai Wu, the Green Ninja of Legend, a boy whose parents disappeared and whose sister was tragically killed by the Skulkin, who turned out to be the one Destined to defeat the Dark Lord Garmadon and save Ninjago from falling under his tyranny.

That’s the image Wu has spent years cultivating.

Kai has been the Green Ninja longer than he’s had a team. He made his debut by single-handedly saving a small town from a Skulkin raid at the age of ten. Cole, Jay, and Zane joined him as Ninja three years later, and they’ve been a team for almost three years.

Thanks to this, there’s a bit of a disparity in their training; Wu started training Kai as soon as he took him in almost nine years prior, and he was intense. Compared to the three years Cole, Jay, and Zane have been training, Kai is miles ahead skill wise, able to consistently win in 3 v 1 spars.

While the team does go around Ninjago and stop Skulkin raids, most of their ‘Ninja work’ involves publicity things. Interviews, visiting sick kids in the hospital, making brand deals with companies like Dairy Dragon, Chens Noodles, and Borg Industries, etc; celebrity stuff.

Everything they do or say is strictly controlled by Wu; they aren’t just Ninja, they’re symbols of a better, brighter future for all of Ninjago, and they need to act like it. Hence, no hair gel for Kai.

When the team needs to dress-up for any formal event, they’re fairly coordinated, with Kai in a hanfu instead of a suit to help set him apart from the others, so no-one forgets he’s the Chosen One

They have a bit more say in what they wear casually, but there are still guidelines they must follow. And Kai thinks that what he’s wearing is casual.

While Wu is strict, he’s very good at painting his strict controlling as him being well-meaning. and is open to talking about any concerns his students may have over a nice cup of totally normal, not at all tampered with tea.

None of the Ninja have reached their True Potentials yet, despite being a team for three years, thanks to Wu encouraging some of their worst traits. Also, none of them know they’re Elemental Masters or that they have powers; Wu strategically withholds information to keep the Ninja from getting too independent.

That’s not the only thing Wu has done to keep the Ninja under his control. I’ll go one by one talking about how all the Ninja have been changed from cannon thanks to Wu being evil, and then I’ll talk about how their dynamics are different.

It was fairly easy for Wu to recruit them all. They all were aware of the Green Ninjas Prophecy, Wu made sure that was spread far and wide over Ninjago. And Wu was well known as the man teaching and raising the Legendary Hero. It was child's play to convince three lonely tweens who felt outcasted from almost everyone else that they were destined for greatness.

Cole

Cole was recruited a few months after leaving Marty Oppenhiemers School for Performing Arts. He was just getting started in free-climbing, and ran into Wu after scaling a cliff he’d had his eye on for a while. One he nearly fell off while climbing.

Wu was waiting for him, and gave him a speech about how he had been watching Cole for awhile now, and felt he was a part of the Green Ninja Prophecy, one of the Protectors who would wield one of the Golden Weapons to aid the Green Ninja in fulfilling his Destiny.

Cole accepts Wu’s offer to train him, while trying to keep his father thinking that he’s still at school. Until Cole appears on TV, which Lou sees. This leads to Lou going to find Cole, and things turn into a massive fight. The two haven’t spoken in years thanks to this, making it much more difficult for Cole to reconcile with Lou and reach his True Potential.

Cole’s tendency to take responsibility for things he shouldn’t has been exaggerated by Wu. He feels like he’s entirely responsible for Jay and Zane, and anything bad that might happen to or because of them. Because of this he’s more of a leader than Kai when it comes to the emotional needs of the team, though Kai is the leader in the field and on camera.

Zane

Zane was picked up walking along the side of a road, leaving the village he’d been staying in at the time. He had no family, no home, and no memories, so when Wu came to him with the offer of a purpose, a roof over his head, and a team, Zane gladly accepted.

He has no idea that he’s not human. Falcon is... indisposed at the moment; the avian android had been distracting Zane during lessons one day, and after reprimanding Zane, Wu...dealt with the bird, so it’s incapable of leading Zane to the Birchwood Forest. Wu does know that Zane is an android, but I haven’t decided if/how he uses that knowledge to his advantage.

Zane still used to get visions, but to him they were muddled and confusing, often having Wu be in place of Lord Garmadon as well as being their Sensei. When Zane came to Wu with concerns, worrying that his Sensei might be in danger, Wu starts giving Zane a special tea at the end of the day that will suppress his visons at night.

Wu has convinced Zane that, due to his odd quirks, the only place he will truly be loved and appreciated is on his team.

Jay

Jay was recruited in the Junkyard. Wu actually spoke to Ed and Edna, telling all three of the Walkers that Jay was part of the Prophecy. Jay eagerly accepted his offer, and Ed and Edna supported his decision.

Unfortunately, Wu’s emphasis on presenting an image of perfection has made Jay’s insecurities with himself and where he grew up grow exponentially. He doesn’t talk about his parents, hasn’t visited them in years, and Wu has encouraged this behaviour, even helping him come up with the story that his parents were rich inventors who liked their privacy, but sadly passed away not long before Wu started training him.

Ed and Edna are greatly hurt by this; they knew Jay had been bullied for being raised by them in a junkyard, but they never thought he was so ashamed of where he came from. So they give Jay the space he seems to have wanted for so long, and never try to visit him.

Kai

Kai’s parents disappeared when he was 5 and Nya was 3.

Two years later, their home was attacked by Skulkin. Wu showed up, fought off Samukai himself and getting injured in the process to save Kai, but was unable to keep Nya from being taken. He took Kai to the Monastery, and at the boys insistence went to look for Nya.

He came back with the devastating news that Nya had been killed. Kai was absolutely distraught, and once he had calmed down enough to ask Wu why this had happened to him and his sister, Wu told him that he had been searching for Kai for a long time.

Wu told Kai that he was the Green Ninja, and that Lord Garmadon had been trying to get at him and kill him while he was too young to be a threat, and that Nya was a casualty of his evil ambitions.

Since then, Wu raised Kai as his own, training him to be the Green Ninja he’s meant to be.

Kai fully trusts Wu, see’s him as his Father and his only family. But he’s been under immense pressure for almost his entire life. In the last few months before the plot started, Kai has started growing Dragon scales. He’s in such a bad state that his body is going through the same survival mode that Nya was forced into by living in the Underworld, a place which was would have killed her within a year without her Dragon heritage.

When the scales first started showing up, Kai tried pulling them out. Any scale he pulled out would cause a small patch of scales to take its place, so Kai quickly turned to long sleeves and even more makeup than normal (he’s been hiding massive eye-bags for years).

Cole, Jay, and Zane are fairly co-dependant, relying heavily on each other for support. And while Kai is sort-of friends with them, they’re more coworkers than anything to him, despite all living in the same penthouse for years.

The Green Ninja has no time for friends.

Once they get ahold of all four Golden Weapons, things change

((Lettering the Gi’s was a massive pain, I didn’t have the spoons to even try and trace the Golden Weapons into looking accurate, and I wanted to get this post done soon, so pretend that they’re holding show accurate GW))

Wu has studied magic and artifacts like the Golden Weapons for almost his whole life, and as soon as all four Golden Weapons were in the hands of his students, he used a spell he’d been working on for years to get the Ninja firmly under his control.

I have another post planned going into depth about how Wu was able to use the Weapons to control the Ninja, and what everyone is capable of in VT with their powers, so for now just trust me that this makes sense.

It isn’t outright mind control, but more like the spells you can use in Skyrim to make npc’s turn against their allies, or ally themselves with the player character. It reinforces the idea that Wu is the Good Guy, to the point that the Ninja will obey his orders without question, no matter what he asks, forcing them to cross lines they ordinarily wouldn’t have.

Even after the Mega Weapon is forged, this spell is in effect.

This post has gotten long enough I think; if anyone has any questions, my inbox is open!

So I’ve made it episode 11 of Extraordinary Attorney Woo. I’m so happy that Jun-ho and Young-Woo are together!! And him saying he’ll be her personal hug chair (after doing independent research in Austin’s so he’s not relying on her to teach him) is so fucking sweet!!!

But for real, do those chairs from France ship internationally? Because they sound v nice

Also Min-woo blackmailing his way into Taesan but having it backfire into getting Young-Woo fired?? If he goes through with this, ughhhh

Also Choi’s dating life makes me feel bad for her. I hope Hairy gets another chance to make another impression. They give me good vibes together if they can get past the awkward first date vibes

Never Ending Truths (9)

Indiana Jones x OC

Summary: Everyone is born with a matching tattoo to their soulmate, but not everyone can feel their soulmate’s emotions. Harley LaCarrubba is a freshman attending Marshall college to one day be an archeologist with her passion for history. Lucky for her, she is being taught by none other than the famous Indiana Jones, the school heartthrob. She can feel her soulmate’s emotions but never met him in real life, making her feel guilty about having a crush on her professor.

Words: 3170

I take a deep breath as I stand on his doorstep, not knowing how this night would end. I knock as I wait out in the heat as thankfulness floods through me as I have the heat to thank for revealing my soulmate. It was so hot I decided to wear a simple green dress with white polka dots with cup sleeves, while the hem went to my knees and a slight v-neck. The door opened, revealing Indy, dressed in the same outfit from school. "I was beginning to think you weren't going to come." He holds the door open for me. "I had to change into something cooler, and I got lost." I admit as I walk inside.

"Well, you look beautiful." He smirked as he looked me up and down.

"Thank you."

"Where are your books?"

"Oh, In my car." I tell him as I go to the door. "I'll get them; go sit at the table." He instructs. I go to the empty table as he walks outside. I couldn't help myself as I looked around the room.

There was a fireplace in the middle of the living room with vases and a candlestick decorating the mantle, book shelves on either side full to the brim, a desk off to the left that was cluttered with books and papers, a giant sofa off to the left, artifacts hung on top of the bookshelf, a proper house of a professor. The kitchen was nice and spacious, with counters on either side of the stove and a lovely wooden light brown round kitchen table with four chairs. Indy comes back in with my bookbag setting it on the table. "What do you have in that thing? A dead body."

"Not yet." I tell him as I open it up, pulling out my books.

"How much homework do you have?"

"An essay for mythology, a paper on the singing of the Declaration of independence, did you give homework?" I list off before looking up at him thoughtfully.

"Yes, I did." He crossed his arms, looking down at me. "Weren't you paying attention?"

"Not at all; my mind left the building as soon as you rolled your sleeves up." I admit truthfully.

He snorts then shakes his head. "You know I don't appreciate you teasing me during class. I was trying to teach, and you made me look a fool."

"My way of getting revenge." I don't bother to look at him as I open my mythology book. "If I recall correctly, you were smiling ear to ear as soon as you felt me again. You also held my hand and grazed it with your thumb. I enjoyed seeing you smile after avoiding me and being depressed."

"I had my reasons." he tells me plainly as he kept his arms crossed.

"Which were what? To hurt me and make me feel unwanted and alone?" I look up at him as I slam my book shut.

"You were the one who shut me out. Now open that book and study; we aren't talking about anything else until it's done." He points his finger at me sternly. I glare at him before rolling my eyes and opening my book back again. "Of course." I muttered under my breath. Sure, it's all my fault because I shut him out, not that he went and fucked some tramp. He was the one who fucked up and did me wrong and goes and blames me. I only took myself away from him because I didn't want his fake-ass love. I've been faithful to him from day one, and he goes and has sex with someone while I wait for him. He makes me so frustrated! I want to throw all of my books at him for doing this to me! I glanced up at him to see he had his back to me while cooking something on the stove. "I can feel your anger. You need to focus." He plainly says.

"You're lucky I'm not throwing this book at your head." I mutter under my breath in Italian.

"Real mature." He turns around, glancing at me.

"I forgot you can speak my language. Oh well, my statement still stands." I shrug as I write a paper on Poseidon.

I moved on to the next subject, not even bothering to open my textbook as I wrote my paper. "Focus." I mumbled to myself as my mind started mentally cussing him out. Indy stood over the hot stove as he cooked, keeping his back to me. I finish my history paper in thirty minutes before closing my book. "What's the homework?"

"Read chapter twelve and write a one-page summary." He informs me. I grab my archeology textbook, opening it to chapter twelve, and begin to read.

"Why did I have to bring extra clothes?" I I ask trying to distract my mind.

"Because if it gets too late, I don't want you driving home."

"Pshh, what you think I can't handle driving at night?" I sass back.

"I want you to be safe; with your luck, something would happen."

"I'm not a child. I'm a big girl; I can take care of myself." I cross my arms slightly offended.

"I know you can. I just don't want you driving so late, especially since you haven't been sleeping." He didn't even bother to turn around to look at me.

"How do you know I haven't been sleeping?"

"You fell asleep in my class, failed a test, dark circles under your eyes, and you also haven't been eating. I'm not risking you falling asleep at the wheel." He turned around to look at me, raising his eyebrows waiting for my response.

"Fine." I roll my eyes. Why does he have to be so observant? "When you say a page does that mean front and back?" I question him as I prop my head up with my hand.

"One page, what does that sound like to you?" He asked as he turned his back to me.

"Fucking smartass," I mumble as I read the chapter, trying to keep my temper under control. Stupid fucking man. He began to take things off the stove and put it on plates. I ignored everything he was doing as I wrote my paper. I finally finished as he was setting the table placing a plate in front of me.

"Thank you." I mumble.

"Hmm, no rude remarks or threats?"

"Just because I'm pissed off doesn't mean I'm not going to use my manners." I inform him.

"Fair enough." He set his plate across from me before going back into the kitchen. I clean up all of my books, placing them in my backpack before hanging it on the back of my chair. Indy came back with two glasses of water, setting one in front of me. "Thanks."

"Yeah." He mumbled as he sat down in his chair. I bow my head and pray, blessing the meal. 'Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this day and everything you have given me. Thank you for letting me find my soulmate. Please give me patience and composure when we have our conversation. Please bless this meal and Indy, who prepared it for us. In Jesus's name, I pray, amen.' I looked back up to see Indy staring at me as he ate a green bean slowly. I look down at my food to see chicken, green beans, and potatoes. I dig in and start eating, not bothering to look up at Indy.

"Did you finish your homework?"

"Yes."

"Alright." He goes back to eating his food. He needs to get off my case. He's my soulmate, not my father. We eat in silence for the rest of the meal, not wanting to upset the other. I finish my food, so I get up, taking my plate over to the sink to wash. I grabbed all the pots and pans he used and began to do the dishes. "You don't have to do that."

"You cooked, so I clean." I tell him what my parents used to say to each other.

*** Indy sat down on the couch as he watched me clean everything up, thinking to myself as I worked. I've calmed down since I first arrived; maybe it's because I have food in my stomach now. Indy was in the same mood I was, his heart was a steady rhythm and I knew he was trying to control his anger, I finally finished drying my hands off on the rag before going over to the couch across from him. We sat in awkward silence, neither one of us wanting to start the conversation. "Okay, you aren't going to tease me when I'm teaching, you aren't going to cut the connection, and you can't be obvious about us. I don't appreciate you making me look like a fool in front of my whole class." He starts with a sigh as he leaned forward staring into my eyes.

"Well, I don't appreciate being avoided, you pretending I'm invisible, being pissy with me, and you ordering me around like you're my father." I list off glaring at him as I lean forward as well to match him.

"I wouldn't have been pissy if you didn't cut the connection and were throwing a fit! I thought you died! My mark was fading, and I couldn't feel you, and the last thing I felt was my mark getting hit over and over again!" He raised his voice at me.

"I CUT IT OFF BECAUSE I FELT YOU HAVING SEX! I FELT EVERYTHING!! HOW DO YOU THINK THAT MADE ME FEEL!?! TO KNOW MY SOULMATE IS OUT FUCKING OTHER WOMAN!! TO KNOW THE PERSON WHO WAS MADE FOR ME AND HAS BEEN THERE TO HELP ME DOESN'T REALLY CARE!! I DIDN'T WANT TO FEEL THAT, SO I CUT YOU OFF!!" I stand up, shouting at him as I point to myself, losing my temper.

"DOESN'T CARE!?!" He stands up and continues shouting. "EVERY TIME I FELT YOU WERE UPSET OR STRESSED OUT, I WAS THE ONE TO CALM YOU DOWN!! I SHOWED YOU LOVE AND AFFECTION! I'VE HAD YOUR BACK FROM DAY ONE! I GOT THE GUM OUT OF YOUR HAIR, I TOLD YOUR GODMOTHER YOU WERE IN TROUBLE, I HAD YOUR BACK WHEN YOUR HORSE GOT OUT, I'VE DEFENDED YOU AND PUT MY CAREER ON THE LINE FOR YOU!! I BROUGHT YOU ARTIFACTS BECAUSE I KNEW IT WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY AND I HAD TO DELAY THE MUSUME FOR THAT!!" He shouts as he turns red in the face. "So, sweetheart, don't say I don't care about you." he grits his teeth as he gives me an attitude.

"IF YOU CARE SO MUCH, WHY DID YOU HAVE SEX WITH HER!?!" I yell back wanting answers to why he went out and cheated on me.

"BECAUSE YOU REJECTED ME!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY SOULMATE AND I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU TO LIFT YOUR SLEEVE, BUT YOU PUSHED ME AWAY!! I THOUGHT I WAS NEVER GOING TO FIND YOU, SO WHEN SHE CAME ON TO ME, I SAID YES. I DIDNT KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO FEEL THAT BECAUSE I WASN'T INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO LET YOU FEEL WHAT I WAS FEELING." He tells me and I instantly felt terrible. He was truly hurt I pushed him away and went to fill that void.

"I thought you were getting back at me because I thought you felt our kiss. I didn't connect the pieces when I saw you rubbing your arm, trying to get through to me. I should have known what you said when you called our connection a door. I felt guilty for liking you because I saw it as cheating. If I knew you could feel the connection, I wouldn't have pushed you away. You still didn't have to get with her." I look down at the ground ashamed I pushed him away and hurt him.

"Yeah, I should have seen the signs too. The first woman I care about and went out of my way for. I guess we are both too good at hiding our connection that we hid it from each other. I'm sorry, Harley, I didn't mean to hurt you." he apologized as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously.

"I'm sorry too, and I didn't mean to humiliate you in front of the class and lose my temper." I apologize to him.

"All is forgiven." He nods his head before brushing his hair with his fingers. "Alright, we need to go over some things." He takes a seat on the couch. I go over to the sofa he was at and sit next to him, leaving some space between us. "We can't let anyone know we are soulmates; they have seen my mark, so you have to keep yours hidden. We can't be caught with each other, or we would both get in trouble. Do you want to move classes?"

"No." I shake my head as I look at him.

"Okay, good. You can't stay after school so much, and if you do, we have to keep our distance. No disturbing me during class and distracting me." he lists off as he stares at the carpet.

"Yeah, I got it; keep it a secret." I nod my head in understanding as I agree to his terms.

"We can't be seen in public either."

"I figured."

"We don't have to hide here, though." He smirked his famous half-corner smirk.

"That's true." I smile back at him. He scoots closer to me, putting his arm around my shoulders. "So doll, I was thinking...we can tell your godmother tomorrow about us. I don't think she will tell anyone or freak out."

"I'm kinda nervous, especially after she warned you not to get close to me." I chuckle as I lean my head on his shoulder.

"You went to her house for supper; I'll hang that over her head." he chuckles as he holds me closer.

"Oh yes, blackmailing my godmother, great plan." I roll my eyes with a chuckle.

"Only as a last resort." he laughs as he places a kiss on top of my head. "I'm sure she will understand; she can't argue with destiny."

"Yeah."

"I want to learn more about you." he softly says as he took my hand in his.

"I'm an open book." I mumble.

"What's your middle name?" He asks.

"Ann," I answer him. "What's your real name?"

"Henry Walton Jones Jr. I hate it." He sighs as he draws circles on my hand.

"Haha, I like it." I smile up at him. He rolled his eyes with a smile as he looked back down at me. "How old are you?" I question as I never knew his real age.

"I'm thirty-seven, only thirteen years older than you." He informs me keeping a straight face.

"Not bad; I don't care about age." I shrug.

"If you like it or not, you're stuck with me now." he smiles.

"Oh, am I now? I think it's the other way around. You're stuck with me." I tease him.

"Oof, I don't know how I feel about that. A hot-headed beautiful and intelligent southern Italian woman follows me everywhere. Hmmm, I don't mind." He flirts as he pretends to think before placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Who says I'll follow you?" I tease him.

"Hmm, so you want to stay here while I travel?" He raised an eyebrow knowing I'd have a reaction.

"You mean I get to tag along?" I look up at him with a smile ear to ear. I finally get to travel the world and dig up artifacts just like him.

"Of course, you'd be useful. You know history, you are strong, you don't complain, I'm pretty sure you can fight and shoot." He lists off my strengths as if he was mostly trying to convince himself.

"Of course, I can. What do I look like to you? A yuppie?" I joke with him.

"Well, in that dress definitely. When you came to school in your rancher gear, no, you look like a badass." He smiles.

"Haha, thanks." I chuckle at him.

"You're so cute." He smiles as he placed a kiss on my head.

"You're trying to butter me up."

"No, I'm being truthful. If I was trying to butter you up I'd do this." He gently turns my head to look at him. He leans down to me placing a kiss on my lips pulling me closer to him. I kiss him back as I put my hand on the side of his face as my heart was beating out of chest. I felt his heart racing as well as we shared this passionate kiss. He pulled back before placing a kiss on my forehead. "It's getting late we should head to bed."

"Yeah, I didn't bring any night clothes."

"You can barrow some of mine." He gets up from the couch holding his hand out to me. I take it as he effortlessly pulls me up. I followed him down the hall into his bedroom where a giant bed was in the center made nicely but there was two pillows laying horizontally on the right side, a chair in the corner, nightstands on either side with a lamp, and a dresser across the bed. He searched his drawer not able to find anything as he went to the next one. He pulled out a pair of red pajama pants and a black cotton shirt, handing them to me. I gladly take them before going into the bathroom to change.

I change my clothes and look at myself in the mirror. The shirt was a little big on me but wasn't too bad, the pants on the other hand was a different story. The bottoms were a disaster, they were too long and I was stepping on them while the waist band hung off my hips. I roll the waist so it wouldn't fall off then roll the bottoms so I wouldn't step on them.

I come back out to see Indy was in a pair of blue pajama bottoms that fit him nicely and a white wife beater that showed his muscles. I try not to stare but he looked so handsome as I have never seen him dress so casually. I set my things down in the chair that sat in the corner nice and neat so he wouldn't think I'm a slob. Indy went into the bathroom and began his nightly routine before turning his head to me. "I have a spare toothbrush." He informs me. I walk over to him while he opened the wooden drawer pulling out a toothbrush that was sill in the packaging. I open it up, tossing the packing into the trash. Indy was putting toothpaste on his brush then handed it to me so I could use it as well.

After we brushed our teeth we went back out into the bedroom. "What side do you sleep on?" He asks me as he went over to the left side of the bed. "The right."

"Aw, well that works out perfectly." He mumbles to himself. He reached under the pillow on the right and pulls out a pistol putting it on his nightstand. I walk over to my side and climb into the bed placing the covers over myself as I lay on my left side with my back to him. "I figured you slept on your side."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I always felt the pressure on my side."

"You did?" I turn back over to him scrunching my brow in confusion. I never intended for him to feel me sleeping I guess our connection is stronger than we thought.

"Yeah, I can always tell when you are sleeping." He got into bed next to me, getting settled in. "Good night, doll." He got up and placed a kiss on my cheek.

"Good night," I tell him softly as I felt his strong arms wrap around me, holding me close. I've been waiting for this moment for so long, to be in my soulmate's arms as we both drift to sleep.

Council Meeting

The Jedi Council calls its first meeting with all 12 council members. Along the way, Anakin runs into Master Billaba and her Padawan Caleb Dume.

"Master Billaba hey! How ya been?" What? Why did I say that. I could've just not. Nonetheless I now find myself in this conversation.

She provides me with a quick smirk and says, "Master Skywalker, always a pleasure. Have you met my Padawan Caleb Dume?"

I see a confident looking boy who's got the same smirk on his face as his master. "Hey what's up kid?"

"I am no child." the kid's voice is unsettlingly deep. He's visibly upset about my statement.

"Of course not, I meant no offense." What is this manchild?

Master Billaba cuts in, "Caleb please do not let him aggravate you."

"What? I didn't aggravate him." I say. "He came at me."

"I did not!" the kid says. "My name's Caleb."

"I'm trying to be nice." I say.

"Well I'm not." The kid says. He reaches for his hilt.

"Caleb Dume!" Master Billaba says. Immediately the kid loses his composure.

"No I am a Master and a teacher. I sense a warrior's spirit in young Caleb here, and I happily accept his challenge if he would see it through." I wait to see what the kid will do.

"It is not the Jedi way." He begins to turn away.

"Sure thing kid." Immediately he strikes. No doubt some would be caught off guard by his agility. I immediately take into my left handed stance and block the blow. This is perfect. I wanted to work on my new form with a worthy opponent.

"Caleb!" Master Billaba screams.

"I appreciate the gall to make the move." I tell him. "But can you back it up?" I let him push into an offensive stance. As I defended against him I really developed a disdain for my inverted Form V technique. I need to break it down further. We must begin with Form I and work from there. I start mixing in some of the Form I strikes, and I'm pleased to see that Dume is defending nicely. I move aggressively and he parries.

"Good." I say. "You are very talented young Dume."

"Unacceptable!" Master Billaba says. "Caleb enough! Stop projecting your feelings! Losing your Master is not Master Skywalker's fault!"

The kid sighs and retracts his blade. "I'm sorry Master. I let my emotions get the best of me."

"There's nothing wrong with sparring if it helps." I say. I get the impression Master Billaba disagrees.

"We are peacekeepers not warriors." She says. "You youths who have only fought in the Clone Wars had better learn to adapt. You who thinks you can wield a lightsaber to solve all of your problems. You who thinks that your great success serving the Republic Army means you know something." She turns away and brings Caleb with her. "My apologies Master Skywalker, teaching you is not my place. May The Force Be With You."

.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Ahhh this meeting just will not end. We've been deliberating in the council chamber for hours, and have discussed essentially nothing. We just constantly go in this circle of distrusting the Republic.

"My most immediate concern is the appointment of Orn Free Taa as Chancellor." Obi-wan says. "The man doesn't hold a single independent value, and will always take the most profitable side."

"Not to mention he's spent his whole political career as Palpatine's puppet." Windu says. "His leadership is dangerous. He cannot be allowed to hold the position."

"Well what would you have us do to stop him?" Madame Jocasta asks. "The parliament is not eager to be rid of him."

"Yes all the corporate Senators support him completely." Master Allie chimes in. "How do we influence the Senate without provoking them?"

"With most delicate negotiation." Plo Koon says. "We need someone who can speak firmly with a deft tongue."

"Would the Senate take our rhetoric seriously?" Master Mundi asks. "They do not think of us as people they must listen to."

"So then we do nothing?" Kenobi asks. "Orn Free Taa will corrupt the Republic to the core if left unchecked!"

As we begin the circle once more I find myself losing patience. "If Orn Free Taa is the problem, then take care of him." I say. Deliberation pauses for a moment.

"What exactly are you suggesting, Master Skywalker?" Shaak Ti asks.

"Remove Taa from office, with words if he will listen. If not, then move into aggressive negotiations." I say.

"Anakin we can't threaten the Chancellor." Obi-Wan says.

"Why not? We killed the last one." Silence. "Republic politics clearly don't work, and if we consider Orn Free Taa to be an enemy of the Republic, then we shouldn't be afraid to do something about him."

"It sounds like you advocate for killing anyone who disagrees with us Master Skywalker." Master Billaba says. "This is not the Jedi way."

"But letting corruption spread through the galaxy is?" I say.

"Let us refocus." Master Windu says. "We all agree that Orn Free Taa should not hold his title. The disagreement lies with how we should go about removing it."

"Indeed." Master Yoda says. "Master Kenobi, negotiate on our behalf, you will. Convene again we shall, once negotiations are complete."

"It would be my pleasure Master." Obi-Wan says. "I have a reputation of keeping negotiations short."

Author's Note

And so as we continue traversing through the galaxy, we introduce a bunch of fresh perspectives. Is it possible to have too much perspective? I guess we'll find out. Just be a little patient as we work towards the more climactic moments.

W1 Phenomenology

Today’s session could not have been further stressed about the correlation between reality and consciousness. The duck or the rabbit image exemplified how phenomenology applied to art makes people’s perspectives differ. But not only specifically in art, I think this can be put into our daily lives, where we go through endless decisions and discussions. And probably this is where the concept of debates and controversies are created.

My father likes the philosopher Descartes, and he exposed me to the <Method of Doubts> since I was little. Growing up with him was all about questioning logics and introspections. It was nice to be reminded how powerful the misuse of our minds such as confusion and unconsciousness can be, especially since everything sounded familiar to what my dad had always been teaching me.

* W3 Photography, Still Life Objects - This project specifically required endless try-outs to achieve a specific effect I want. I couldn't realise how impactful the light and background reflections, until I started shooting pictures. Understanding the logic of the power of these small elements, and I make a connection to today's lecture by approaching subjects with multiple point of views.

*Night to Light Festival - One of the most commonly asked questions was 'What if this happens? Or what if this doesn't happen?' and I think that inspired us to explore more lightning techniques. Because the visual effects are created through machines, sometimes there would be clashes between images. Figuring out the best combination of lights was the key to the event.

I have titled my series of photos: “Golden Hour”. Although some may view my pictures as a collection of red items, I actually tried to capture all the emergency-related items around school. I was surprised how these items are so unconscious and unimportant to us until the moment of emergency actually hits and they become one of the first things that we look for. I tried to relate my photos to the given theme; time, by interpreting the importance of it - linking to the common knowledge of the golden hour - that appropriate time usage can actually save more lives.

As a conclusion, I learnt the importance of paying attention to details and perceiving things from various perspectives. Applying this skill to design would bring innovative and powerful artworks.

Week 9: Human Population, Animal Rights, Celebrity Babies, and Climate Change

Are attitudes about fertility changing among Gen Z and Millennials?

I do think that there has been a shift in how Gen Z and Millennials think about and discuss fertility, one that has shifted to autonomy and greater questioning of the reasons why we've been made to feel like we must have children. A significant part of the conversation is due to economics; children are expensive! Increasingly the conversations I've had with friends about having children (including with my own partner, whom I've been with for four years) include the sentiment, "Maybe it would be nice to have kids someday, but how will we even afford to care for them?" I've also been feeling incredibly encouraged to see Gen Z and Millennials challenging patriarchal and capitalistic norms, many of which encourage us to procreate, understanding the value of making our own life decisions for ourselves!

Having one fewer child is 73 times more effective for the planet and animals than being vegan. Thoughts?

Wow! Yes, I was surprised to learn this. Once you hear it, it makes total sense, which leads me to think the reason that it's so surprising is that it's rarely talked about. I've heard quite a lot in recent years about the effects of livestock and agriculture on carbon emissions, and therefore how adopting a vegan lifestyle cuts down on that, but upon reflection, I can absolutely see how having fewer children would go even further to reduce our carbon footprint: it means fewer people to feed and house (which means consuming less energy) and fewer people driving cars and purchasing clothes and goods (consider plastic goods alone, for instance!).

Do celebrities' baby news put pressure on others to have children? How?

I'm not sure if celebrities' baby news intentionally puts pressure on others, as I think when they share about their babies they're likely just trying to increase awareness about them as a sort of brand (I'm thinking of the Kardashians as a specific example here, as their family is their brand), but I do think it could have the unintentional effect of pressuring others. When they show their cute babies in designer children's clothing, they're advertising a certain lifestyle without addressing how their financial resources afford them so much help! For those who may not know better, they may see this and aspire to live like that and give a child an extravagant life like that, although it is difficult or near-impossible to achieve.

"Since I had no kids and my husband was pretty independent, I had freedom. So I think a big part of my whole success is the fact that I was free to work." -Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton, apart from being known as an internationally-beloved artist, is also well known for her philanthropic efforts; she got special attention recently for her organization, Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, which gifts free books for children. Clearly, she partially attributes her ability to help others with her lack of children and the time and resources that affords her. She doesn't restrict her work to humans, however, and she recently launched Doggy Parton, her line of toys and apparel for pets that benefits Willa B. Farms Animal Rescue. The website (below) states, "Part of the proceeds will support Willa B. Farms, a rescue where animals in need find never-ending love. Don't we all need that?"

How can we innovate ways to provide women globally with more agency over their fertility decisions? What is the impact of the Roe v. Wade rollbacks in the United States on these trends?

I think one way we can provide women with more agency over fertility decisions is through education! Yes, just as Vanessa Nakate taught us, the key to a healthy, prosperous life begins with a quality education. We need to teach women and girls about reproductive health so they can advocate for themselves and make informed decisions. From there, we can all make better decisions with our medical health and who we choose to vote for, which has major repercussions on our ability to choose how we plan a family for ourselves.

We have unfortunately learned this the hard way with the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Because of a Supreme Court decision influenced largely by politicians, many people will be left without access to quality reproductive healthcare and will lack the education and resources to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place. More unwanted children will be born (contributing to the foster care-to-prison pipeline), lives may be lost due to lack of access to terminate a dangerous pregnancy, and quality of life will suffer for many. This is why I say we must educate and vote.

How do celebrities like Jane Goodall and Cher have an impact on expanding empathy for animals, reducing agricultural land use and expanding biodiversity?

I think what celebrities like Jane Goodall and Cher do really successfully is that they communicate in such a way that humanizes animal and plant life. Goodall speaks to the emotional connection that can be shared with chimpanzees, and Cher tells us about the psychological distress that elephants are capable of, just like humans. I think it's crucial to show that animals have feelings, needs, and personalities, same as us, and that they're not stupid or inferior to humans, but amazing, intelligent creatures we should consider ourselves lucky to share the planet with. Celebrities like Goodall and Cher use their resources and professional and artistic connections to educate the masses, showing places and wildlife that we would never get to see in our daily lives.

Check this out: In the spirit of the documentaries we viewed recently, and coinciding with the topic this week, I have a documentary to recommend! The Elephant Whisperers won the Academy Award this year for Best Documentary Short Film and it is absolutely wonderful.

What is the 6th Greatest Extinction event and how does it relate to the Anthropocene?

"Unlike previous extinction events caused by natural phenomena, the sixth mass extinction is driven by human activity, primarily (though not limited to) the unsustainable use of land, water and energy use, and climate change." -World Wildlife Fund (https://www.worldwildlife.org/stories/what-is-the-sixth-mass-extinction-and-what-can-we-do-about-it#:~:text=Unlike%20previous%20extinction%20events%20caused,been%20converted%20for%20food%20production.)

The Anthropocene (aka "Age of Humans") is the epoch we're currently in, beginning with the dawn of humanity. In short, humans are the direct and sole cause of loss of biodiversity on the planet presently occurring in the Anthropocene. In particular, the way we grow food is responsible for killing ecosystems, releasing carbon into the atmosphere, and contributing to droughts. This is different from the previous mass extinctions, as they were caused by natural phenomena, while this sixth mass extinction is caused by humans alone (despite the fact that we only account for .01% of Earth's total biomass). See this short video from Smithsonian Magazine:

Save the Sea Turtles!

I'm probably most aware of sea turtles as an endangered species because of the recent push to ban plastic straws that pollute the ocean and get stuck in their noses. Due to overfishing, they are increasingly getting stuck in fishing nets, they're being poached, and climate change impacts sand temperatures, affecting the sex of the hatchlings, which may decrease population numbers (https://www.worldwildlife.org/species/sea-turtle).

So, how can we help preserve their habitats?

The National Ocean Service has a list of ways to help protect the ocean, including by conserving water use, reducing waste and pollutants, using less energy and reducing vehicle-usage, and shopping wisely for sustainable products (https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/ocean/help-our-ocean.html). Of course, you can also volunteer to help ocean-cleaning efforts! There are organizations such as The Ocean Cleanup that are working to innovate technology to lead the largest ocean cleanup in history.

a sister’s sacrifice ; part one ↠

↠ platonic!c!sleepy bois inc x fem!reader , platonic!c!tubbo x fem!reader ; fluff with a lot of underlying angst

↠ masterlist

↠ part one ; part two ; part three ;

your’re philza’s eldest child & only daughter

(for context, i’m placing you about 5 years older than wilbur & approx 15 years older than tommy)

starting off strong: you call will & tommy your boys

“what are my boys up to?”

“has anyone seen my boys?”

“my boys!”

& they’re so used to it they don’t even care

like there is no “we’re not your boys-“ yes, yes they are

coming in right off with the neglectful father agenda, you were more a parent to will & tommy than phil was rip

you do not understand why phil took in two other children when he already knew he fucked up raising you but here you are 16 years later with one brother dead but possibly not for much longer & another who is,,,,, tommy

phil would always go out w/ his friend techno and you’d be home looking after your little brothers

you’d learned to basically completely take care of yourself and wilbur by the time you were 6

& when phil brought tommy home, you knew immediately that it would be up to you to raise him

sometimes you feel bad because you kind of feel at fault for the way tommy and wilbur turned out

but like also you were a child/a teenager when you were parenting them so don’t be too hard on yourself

you honestly took care of phil & techno a lot too

like your caring nature just made you mom (v. to be motherly towards) everyone

so when phil & techno would come home from doing something & they’d be all beat up & tired, you’d patch them up & give them a nice meal

techno has always liked you most out of all of phil’s kids

you’re more reasonable and much much calmer

he thinks you’re a great person & is honestly really protective of you

you are like the only person tommy listens to without having to be scared into it

yes, he’s still a demon child most of the time

but if you tell him to do something he will do it

you always encouraged wilbur’s musicality

you saved up for months to buy him his first guitar for his birthday one year

& just seeing how his face lit up when you pulled it out of its hiding place made it worth it (ಥ﹏ಥ)

yours and phil’s relationship has always been a bit difficult to pin down

it goes without saying that you have taken on more responsibility in your role in the family than most daughters have to

& while phil is nowhere near getting father or the year, he’s not all bad

as much as you should, you have never been able to bring yourself to hate him

he may be gone a lot & not be the most responsible for his children

but he taught tommy to brew potions & never missed one of wilbur’s recitals

he was still “dad” no matter how much he sucked at it

and how could i forget tubbo!

tommy’s been friends w/ tubbo for forever & he’s basically part of the family at this point

you adore tubbo & practically raised him like you did with wilbur & tommy

when wilbur & tommy (+ tubbo) started their drug empire/l’manberg bs, you stayed out of the way

you didn’t necessarily approve

but it was what it was

you lost your first canon life to dream as l’manberg fought for independence, targeted due to your connections with will & tommy

you warned wilbur against the election but when he wouldn’t budge, you still supported him and tommy

when they lost, schlatt basically threatened & blackmailed you into staying in l’manberg

so you did

you even managed to convince him you were on his side & done w/ your brothers

of course you weren’t actually

you were the one who always covered for tubbo when he ran off to help pogtopia

but schlatt still found out

before you even fully understood what was happening, tubbo was in a cage in front of everyone & techno had a rocket launcher pointed at him

you couldn’t just sit there & let this happen

(you) stop!

(quackity) y/n, stay out of it-

(you) no. tubbo isn’t responsible for this. i am.

(schlatt) y/n.

(you) tubbo was only following my orders. i told him to help pogtopia; i told him what information to give them. don’t punish tubbo for my choices.

woohoo you saved tubbo!

but now you’re in a cage with the blade pointing a rocket launcher at your chest

techno doesn’t want to kill you

he likes you

you’re a good kid

(techno) i don’t- this doesn’t really seem-...

(you) techno. it’s okay.

it’s not okay

he can’t kill you

he lowers his weapon & refuses to do it

schlatt shoves him to the side & kills you himself

you lose your second canon life to jschlatt, protecting one of your brothers

you kind of fall off the face of the planet after that

you don’t involve yourself as pogtopia takes back l’manberg

you watch from afar as wilbur blows up the country he created

you watch as he is killed by your father

when technoblade “turned” on everyone, you couldn’t help but be understanding

this damn country

the government

the need for control

for power

it’s ripped your family apart

you want to go back to how things used to be

you miss teaching tommy to use a sword & watching as he became better than you

you miss making tea with techno when it was so late it could be morning

you miss will excitedly playing you a new song on the guitar you bought him

you miss tubbo scraping his knee & asking you to kiss it better

you miss your dad tearfully thanking you for everything you’ve done when he thinks you’re asleep

you miss the simple times

you miss your family

how long has it been since you were whole?

ft. Quackity (gender neutral reader)

requested;; yes | no

Quackity

if you don’t know, the philippines was colozined by spain in the past until they claimed independence

so,,, it was kind of awkward at first (❁°͈▵°͈)

you were, at first, really cheeky towards him and always started a fight

and y’know quackity- he never backs out of one lies

so you two constantly bicker back and forth

honestly the people who witness it are the ones who get tired lol

“FUCK YOU, YOU STUPID COLONIZERS! FUCK OFF AND LET ME BUILD MY FUCKING WINDMILL”

“SHUT UP YOU AND YOUR UGLY BUILD”

*proceeds to continue ruining your building*

your friends and his always have to stop you both from potentially biting each other heads off SXCKIAJAET

the only thing you two mutually agreed on is that being bilingual is so cOOL LIKE HELL YES >:D

you both curse people off in your language lmao

like for example you could be muttering gago under your mouth

quackity is like HEEHEHEHE I KNOW WHAT THEY’RE SAYING CHAT from the other side of the monitor

that’s the time you guys started actually being nice to each other

well maybe not nice yet

decent is the word

spanish is very much similar to tagalog, so there are some things you say in tagalog that he understands and everytime he goes “೭੧(❛▿❛✿)੭೨ haha I know that one thing the they said haha”

y’know like that thing where quackity just suddenly says a spanish prayer (?) out of the blue?

yeah you do that too to confuse non filipino speaking people

you both agree that it’s fun seeing people shit their pants because their confused and sometimes flat out scared of what you two are saying

soon though, you two slowly start liking eachothers company!

like you cause chaos wherever the both of you go

you’d be recommending him good filipino songs while he shares with you his favorite spanish ones

you try teaching him tagalog and he also tries teaching you spanish

keyword: tries

just in general, you two would be popping off constantly (´｡･v･｡｀)

Hey can I request the whole fluff alphabet for shuichi ty in advance <3

shuichi saihara || fluff alphabet

I don't know if I write Shuichi well but uhhh we tryin, I hope you enjoy!! I'm honestly really really really proud of this one. I'm soft for shuichi now?? Holy fuck??

- Mod Anna

a. attractive. what does he find attractive about you? he finds himself admiring your hands. not in a creepy way, he just really likes holding them. he likes holding things and being able to fidget with them, so your hands are definitely something he likes.

b. baby. would he want a family? he would, but it's not a necessity! he would love teaching kids how to be detectives if they wanted to follow in his footsteps. imagine a kid sitting on his lap while watching criminal minds or something like that.

c. cuddle. how does he cuddle? he likes spooning, whether it's him as the big or little spoon. he likes to hold your hand while you're spooning, and having you close is nice. he'll plant little loving kisses on your neck if you're the little spoon.

d. dates. what are dates with him like? he likes escape rooms! he can use his detective skills, and it's time with you. if you're a little slow, he'll help you out. but if you don't want help, he'll sit back and enjoy watching you. he finds you adorable either way. he's the epitome of "you're doing great, sweetie!"

e. everything. what are you to him? (ex. you are my _____) you're his mystery. he wants someone he can learn inside out, and he wants to know every aspect of you. he finds you interesting.

f. feelings. when did he realize that he was in love? he was learning more about more about you, and the more you opened up, the harder he fell. he realized he had a bigger soft spot for you than most. you made him so happy and pulled him in so quickly.

g. gentle. is he gentle with you? very. all of his actions are very gentle, and that doesn't change with his lover. he'd like you to be gentle with him as well, but that's not a necessity.

h. hands. how does he like to hold hands? he likes to have them close with your fingers intertwined. on tables, in coat pockets, anything. he just wants to be able to hold your hand, run his fingers across your knuckles, play around with your rings. anything.

i. impression. what was his first impression of you? he was more focused on analyzing you rather than forming an opinion. you seemed like a nice person to be around, and he put that down as a mental note. everything else was just body language and personally notes.

j. jealousy. how often does he get jealous? not too often, but he'd never say if he did or not. clues on his to pick up on it are: he will not make eye contact with you whatsoever. he built up his courage to look you in the eye more and more, but he completely loses it when someone seems to be a better fit for you than him.

k. kiss. how does he kiss? who initiated the first kiss? his kisses are really soft and gentle, rarely rough. he doesn't want to hurt you, plus he's really nervous you won't like it. he surprisingly initiated it, but it was really cautious, and he asked for consent a million times.

l. who says "i love you" first? you do. you come to work with him while he's investigating a case, hugging him from behind. you mumbled it softly, and he was shocked. he took his fifteen minutes break then and there to just mentally prepare to say it back. the boy loves you so, so much.

m. memory. what's his favorite memory with you? you two were laying down, going to bed, and he had been super stressed from work that day. without having to ask, you just pulled him into his chest and stroked his hair for a little while. he didn't have to worry about the day, he had you. that's all he truly needed.

n. nickel. how much does he spend on you? he would pay for things that you wanted, but if you insisted, he'd let you pay. he's nervous about being too chivalrous, he wants you to be able to be comfortable and independent! so he's really careful with it.

o. orange. what color reminds him of you? rainbow, to be honest. seeing a rainbow reminds him of happiness and joy, which you give him. now with you around, he notices bright colors more often.

p. pet names. what pet names does he use? he's extremely nervous about using pet names, so he'll usually hesitate and/or stutter when using them. he likes darling and my dear the most, though. when he's really courageous, he'll throw in a baby. and then he'll shake his head because that sounded awful coming out of his mouth.

q. quaint. what's his favorite non-modern thing? he likes doing cute things like pulling out your chair and kissing your knuckles. chivalry is not dead with this detective.

r. rainy days. what does he like to do with you on a rainy day? he likes watching documentaries with you in his lap. he'll rest his chin on your shoulder and watch, humming softly when he picks up certain details and begins to solve the case.

s. sad. how does he cheer you up? he's really, really gentle with you. he'll ask what you want, and he'll provide. he'll go to the store if you want ice cream, he'll bring blankets if you want to cuddle. if you want anything, and i mean ANYTHING, he'll do it for you.

t. talking. what does he like to talk about? he likes talking about ... anything, to be honest. he likes hearing about your day more, but he'll talk about himself as well. he's really comfortable with you the more you know each other, so it could be anything.

u. unencumbered. what makes him relax? just being with you. he likes physical affection the most, though. long hugs, playing with his hair, holding his hand. he just wants to close his eyes and enjoy your warmth and affection.

v. vaunt. does he show you off? it's more of you showing him off, to be honest. he likes doing small things, like holding your hand in public, but you've gotta be the one to show the relationship off. he won't object, though, he'll just be very flustered.

w. wedding. when, how, and where does he propose? he would have to take a while to think about it. he would ask kaito for advice constantly, and he'd probably have an ear piece. he would do it at a park, at night where it's really empty. kaito would make kokichi distract you, and then shuichi would drop to one knee behind you. “a-ah, i really ... don't know what to say, i had a lot prepared, b-but it's all kinda gone now ... but i really, really love you, s/o. and it would make me really happy if you would marry me.”

x. xylophone. what song reminds him of you? what's your theme song? nine in the afternoon by panic! at the disco reminds him of you, and your theme song is the only exception by paramore!

y. yes. does he think about proposing to and marrying you? yes!! every time you do something cute, he's mentally screaming about how much he wants to marry you.

z. zebra. if he was able to get a pet, what would he get? he would love to get a cat. like a small, cute kitten. he's like one of those dad's who are like "i don't know..." and then he gets super attatched.

hello! this is over 500 words, i hope you don't mind. i just like this whole part so much i couldn't cut it XD if it is a bother just cut from the end until it's 500. love you!

Tim had always noticed people, collected little details about them in his head whether he intended to or not, but he thinks his observations used to be about happier things, though it’s hard to remember exactly how he was, how he felt, before - it wasn’t the kind of thing he ever tried to memorise, the kind of thing he ever thought he could lose. Now he finds himself taking note of the coworker who comes back from their lunch break with faint puffy red marks around their eyes, or the older guy who checks his phone with something like dread in his eyes. Danny would have called it his older brother instincts (but what good did those instincts do him? ).

Tim blinks back to the present, realising he’s been pushing a napkin over the same spot of floor for a while now. Jon offers him a hand up, though he braces himself on the bar with his other hand before he does. Tim takes care not to let Jon take too much of his weight as he’s hauled back up.

“Ah, thank you. And apologies, again,” Jon murmurs, gesturing awkwardly at Tim’s lightly-beered clothes.

“Happens to everyone,” Tim says easily. Jon still looks lightly anguished, and Tim silently wishes this could have happened to someone else, someone with the confidence to laugh it off. “I’m always convinced I’m going to drop something when I go in the silent study bit of the library,” Tim offers.

“Ah...that worry hadn’t actually occurred to me,” Jon replies, solemn enough that Tim can’t really tell if he’s joking.

Tim finger-guns. “Any other anxieties I can stir up while you’re over here?”

“I’m quite capable of stoking my own neuroses, thank you.”

Jon glances over his shoulder at the tables the rest of the department are occupying, perhaps doing the same thing as Tim and trying to psyche himself up for some more hollow smalltalk. Tim notes that his jacket seems slightly large on him, but in a way that kind of works. The collar of his shirt is slightly out of place beneath it. There’s a lump forming in Tim’s throat, even though nothing is happening - nothing but standing close to someone, noticing the little signs that they’re real and alive entirely independent from him. He’s aware, as he always is, of the hollow pit in his stomach, pain ebbing and flowing but never gone, new flares thrown off from a familiar wound, now pulsing with a kind of loneliness. All this, just from standing close to someone and trying to make them feel better about a mistake that didn’t matter.

“I...might go out for a smoke,” Jon murmurs eventually.

And here’s where Tim could say sure, wave him off and go back to moping, buy everyone an obligatory round, flex his meaningless chat muscles and be home by half 9. “Mind if I join you?” he asks instead, and to his surprise Jon nods immediately, as if he’d been hoping Tim would say that.

They duck outside to find dark clouds have given way to an anticlimactic drizzle. They stay close to the pub, shielded from the rain by the slight overhang of the roof. Jon fumbles with a lighter and Tim finds his gaze drifting over the rain-slick streets. It’s been a while since he’s been...anywhere, really, other than work and his flat. Longer than he can remember since he was outside in the never-quite-dark of the city.

Despite himself, Tim finds himself admiring the buildings across the way, modern painted shop-fronts on the ground floor giving way to weathered brick and occasional stone carvings above. It was the first thing he’d loved about London, how you only had to look up to catch a glimpse of its history, and it almost wounds him all over again, that that love isn’t gone too. It would be easier if he was just one thing, all the way lost. It would be easier if he didn’t still love the world that killed Danny.

Jon lights his cigarette, and silently holds the lighter out to Tim. Tim shakes his head, and Jon doesn’t question him about why he’s come out here if he doesn’t smoke. Doesn’t press about the way Tim must be looking; he knows he’s never had much of a poker face. Danny tried to teach him poker, on a visit home from uni; Tim left for six weeks and came back to playing cards and strategy guides everywhere - his brother, who never sit still even in his own head -

“Where were you, before this?” Jon asks. Tim wouldn’t have pegged him for a smoker, but he looks immediately more relaxed with a cigarette in his hands. Nice hands, too. It would be easier, if he didn’t-

“Publishing,” Tim answers, before he can drift again. He wants to say more, to make sure this undemanding presence isn’t going to leave his side, but his throat is still tight. “You?”

Jon frowns, as if debating something to himself, then gives a tiny rueful smile. “Tesco.”

Tim grins. “Was it a haunted Tesco?”

“Only by customers,” Jon replies, dry as bone.

from: please leave a light on when you go

HELLO, this is 1000 years late and for that i apologise!! i absolutely do not mind that it is over 500 words. tbh i'd do these for whole fics if enough people were interested!

i think i've talked about my tim just genuinely loving people in general feelings in another one of these answers, but it continues to be true. makes sense to be for a character demonstrated to be both smart and gregarious. i also wanted to muse on how formative traumatic events both change us and don't - tim still cares about the people around him, but now he's unconciously looking for pain

i am not immune to older brother tim feelings...i am especially not immune to them being directed at jon...

part of the reason pre-series jontim is so fun is thinking about what would draw these two together. one answer is that i imagine jon as someone who would want/need a particular kind of consideration from those he's friends with, and i imagine tim as someone who's very good about noticing what people need and working around it without it being a huge thing

i was surprised that dyspraxic jon is not already a tag! or even just 'dyspraxia' does not seem to be a tag. i've read a lot of good fic involving various mobility issues for jon and this is a hc that i think makes sense (and that i hope i portrayed sensitively)

apparently the only tims i write are just regularly dissociating. i have no justification for this except that grief is really good at displacing you from time and also it's a convenient narrative device for dipping in and out of internal monologue

“Ah, thank you. And apologies, again,” Jon murmurs, gesturing awkwardly at Tim’s lightly-beered clothes.

“Ah...that worry hadn’t actually occurred to me,” Jon replies, solemn enough that Tim can’t really tell if he’s joking.

Tim finger-guns. “Any other anxieties I can stir up while you’re over here?”

“I’m quite capable of stoking my own neuroses, thank you.”

lifting tim's fear here directly from my uni days. quiet libraries...so good at making me feel like i'm about to start emitting 1000 noises (i now work in a library but it's not a quiet one so we're mostly good)

jon who is jokes in a v specific deadpan way that a lot of people don't get...a good headcanon

trying to inject the right amount of slightly awkward formality into jon's dialogue is hard but fun...that last sentence i think i thought about a lot even though it's a short/simple thought. gotta make it sound like a short/simple Jon thought

another reason they would like each other right off the bat - banter

jon in big jacket...as the kids say, hot jon rights

i've also talked about this in another one of these but man. the little details that make it feel real that someone is there close to you. when you are lonely the reality of other people right there just out of your reach suddenly drives home

"a mistake that didn't matter" tim is always thinking about the mistakes that did matter :(

“I...might go out for a smoke,” Jon murmurs eventually.

i think jon here is like i think i am enjoying talking to this person but on some level would be relieved to stop, so i will take a punt as to whether or not he is also a smoker and let fate decide. luckily for him tim is not a smoker but he does crave human connection

mostly my reaction when i have had to be in london is some level of :/ but maybe i do think fondly of some of it. cities at night...the weird mash up and modern & ancient in uk buildings that i always took for granted until i didn't. also hello architechture-buff tim

rereading this it's just very obvious to me that i wrote this during lockdown...like oh imagine going to a place and seeing a person. magical. effervescent

i do love them huddling close to keep out of the rain here...thematically appropriate, it is sad battered people against the world time, and also circumstance bringing you literally close to someone and having that change/spark something

the last line distresses me, the person who wrote it. i don't know if i have much to add to it really. sometimes the most painful part of living through something is waking up the next day and finding that you are still alive and a real person capable of being touched by the world

tim blames both himself and the world for killing danny. sure hope that blame and hatred doesn't rise up and send him into a spiral of self-destruction some day. would be a real bummer if that happened and ultimately led to his death via clown murder explosion

“Publishing,” Tim answers, before he can drift again. He wants to say more, to make sure this undemanding presence isn’t going to leave his side, but his throat is still tight. “You?”

Jon frowns, as if debating something to himself, then gives a tiny rueful smile. “Tesco.”

Tim grins. “Was it a haunted Tesco?”

“Only by customers,” Jon replies, dry as bone.

thank you for choosing this passage because now i have noticed/will edit the last sentence in the first paragraph, which is missing a word and does not scan right (should be 'who could never sit still even in his own head')

'Nice hands, too. It would be easier, if he didn’t-' hot. jon. rights. also connecting the 'maybe it would be easier if i wasn't still alive and real and capable of feeling' thing to noticing, appreciating, wondering if he wants something with jon

jon has definitely not told anyone else at the institute that he was in customer service before this. proud of him for this brief moment of trust. also between this and martin having told tim about his CV, i think people just look at tim and are like yeah here are my career-related secrets

i also just love imagining jon in customer service. and as someone who did not work in customer service at the time of writing this fic but now does, i mostly do not view customers as hauntings (library patrons are mostly chill) - unless it is 10 minutes until we close, in which case they are the absolute bane of my existence

Robert Fraser

“When he was 8 years old, his mother was telephoned by the anxious headmaster asking her to come at once. Robert had somehow obtained a paperback of Willie Gallacher’s The Case for Communism, and was calling in such eloquent terms for the downfall of capitalism that he was having a profound effect on his fellow pupils. He had produced his own pamphlet, Communism v Capitalism, which contained such phrases as ‘The noose tightens round the capitalist’s neck’ and ‘Capitalists have nothing to offer but further security to the upper classes’. Mummy talked him out of it and he willingly surrendered his copy of Gallacher.”

“From the day it opened, the Robert Fraser Gallery had been a critical success, but there were always problems with money. [...] The big problem was that Robert rarely paid anyone, so he was always having to find new people to borrow stock from.”

Christopher Gibbs: “The thing one never remembers about Robert is that he was capable, on a fairly regular basis, of doing the most terrible things to you. Anything that was to do with money, you’d be screaming and biting your lip and rolling about on the floor and saying, “I’m never going to see this creep again!”, and then, three months later, you’d have completely forgotten the crime, which hadn’t been cleared up, it was still there. There was a litter of corpses all the way through one’s relationship with Robert. Quite amazing things he used to do. And he would look at you, if you asked him to pay, look at you very startled and outraged, you know.”

Brian Clarke: “There’s a lot of artists think that Robert was a crook. And I know better than a lot of people about this because Robert and I did more deals than any of his other artists ever did. And he always intended to pay, but sometimes he didn’t get around to it.”

Paul McCartney: “I’d lend him a bit of money here and there and he wouldn’t give it me back. He was a bit notorious with money, Robert.”

“Clarke recounts how in 1966 Fraser travelled to Newcastle, where Richard Hamilton was an art teacher, to persuade him to give up teaching and concentrate full-time on his painting. “Robert said, 'How much do you earn teaching?’ Richard told him. Robert wrote a cheque, and Richard said, 'That was the moment I became independent.’ It was a really pivotal moment for him. Unfortunately, the cheque bounced. But Richard never lost his devotion to Robert. He signed his letters to him 'Your devoted protégé’.”

“Many of his artists found it baffling to be in his presence but they were fascinated, too. Never has an art dealer been the subject of so many of his artist’s paintings. The gallery became a byword for glamour.”

Paul McCartney: “Once I got to know Robert, a nice thing would be going to the gallery and helping install an exhibition. Just sit around and smoke a bit of pot while somebody else was installing the exhibition. Helping. Play a little music for him.”

Christopher Gibbs: “Robert was a sort of catalyst figure to all those people. He netted them and it was fairly effortless. They were well ready to be netted and they thought it was great fun or sensed it was the hippest scene around and things would be revealed which were quite unfamiliar territory and very intriguing and all that, and I don’t think they were disappointed.”

Jim Dine: “He had a feeling for art and danger, and he was wonderful.”

Nigel Greenwood: “Robert did do parties, with quite a lot of drink, um, for those days... until I think he decided that drugs were much better so he did an opening and there was no drink at all. Everyone just had to snort or sniff or do whatever.”

“Fraser evinced a certain style. He lived on Mount Street in Mayfair, just a few hundred yards from his gallery, to which he would be chauffeured each day in a Rolls-Royce. His suits were by Huntsman, his shirts by Mr Fish. He kept a Moroccan manservant-cum-lover named Mohammed who would serve him mint tea as he lounged at home in a djellaba listening to American soul and Indian ragas.”

Brian Clarke: “I want to say he wasn’t self-destructive – but he was. But it was an artistic self-destructive nature. You just felt when you were with Robert, wherever it was, that you were in the right place. There weren’t any rules. There was a kind of a Lord Byron thing there. Or Lord Rochester.” Clarke thinks about this. “And the fact they’re both lords would have appealed to him.”

A spell in Wormwood Scrubs held few terrors for an Old Etonian. Dine would recall that Fraser told him how “he used to meet a Catholic boy in the chapel and they’d have some action there”.

Paul McCartney: “With Robert’s thing of course there would be gayness. But there was no open gayness, if there was to be gayness it would be a quiet phone call that Robert would go and take in the bedroom or something. That was one of the good things, actually, because I knew he was gay and he knew I wasn’t gay so we were quite safe in our own sexuality, we could talk to each other.”

“In 1969, at the age of 31, Fraser closed the gallery and took off for India, where he would spend the best part of the next five years. He took up yoga, lived with a dancer named Karma Dev, and talked about becoming a dancer himself.”

Paul McCartney on their final meeting: “I remember Linda kissing him, and this was the very early days of the AIDS epidemic and you didn’t know whether you ought to. But Linda kissed him and we said, “Okay, see you around.” He walked from Cecconi’s down Burlington Gardens to Cork Street, and we just went “Bye!” I knew he wouldn’t turn around to wave, and I got a feeling that might be the last time I’d see him.”

Brian Clarke: “Robert was really relieved, because Linda’s very open and it meant a lot to him that Linda felt close enough to him to say “What is this?” He said it so many times to me afterwards, Robert knew they loved him, and that was what was important, that his friends loved him. It supported and encouraged him at the end. Paul was incredibly kind to Robert. He bailed Robert out on many occasions and when he was ill they provided Robert with a car and a driver to get him around, wherever he needed to go. They were very very supportive of him indeed.”

Paul McCartney: “He eventually died at his mum’s place. The lovely thing was that he eventually went home to mummy; which for a public school boy was nice because he’d been separated from mummy aged six to go to prep school, then he went on to Eton. I thought that was good for him and Brian said, “He’s quite enjoying it, actually. He’s enjoying being spoiled.” [...] And then suddenly he was just gone.”

Most quotes from ‘Many Years From Now’ , others from this article, others from round and about, I lost track.

It's me🙃 may I get a jjk matchup?

She/her, straight, Pisces, INFJ, 5'4 tall, long burgundy hair, green eyes, always wear dark makeup and fashion sense is mostly achromatics with reds/blues/beige- let's say grunge of sorts bc I love leather and ckecked shirts/prints.

Personality: v calm, rational, have a sense of humor but also v tired idk what's wrong with me, I'll do favors depending on how tired I feel, v intuitive and perceptive, I don't like loud, annoying, entitled people (=Karens)- will instantly tell them to shut up and I can be v moody, otherwise I'm nice I guess, I'm responsible for myself and I avoid taking the leading role bc I'm not into pulling other people's slack, I'm v enthusiastic ab/like creating digital art and I'm adaptable when it comes to people and going-outs/can go guang ho and raise the mood bc I like to see everyone having a good time, I don't smoke/drink alcohol but I'm also worried ab getting a little carried away, I'm awkward with talking ab feelings/relationships bc that's someone's personal info and personal means keeping it to yourself until the day you die (yes this is John Mulaney reference) BUT I can warm up to a person if I know them well and I'm affectionate and loyal to this person only, I love crime series and medical dramas, horror movies and survival games, rpg and action/adventure, I love dark humor/sarcasm/irony/metaphors, I'm into equally normal guys who think before they speak and take showers after activities, I also respect Nobara not liking UBSSD's bc yes queen same but I also understand Momo's Sebastian Stan obsession good for her good for her, I listen to songs that either make you depressed or badass (from Olivia Rodrigo's "Drivers license" to Måneskin's "I wanna be your slave") and I consume fiction for escapism, I can relate to Megumi regarding modesty and not seeing myself in greater things although I should be greedier for my own sake, ah yes and I love Simon Baker bc of his smile.

That's it, have a nice day!👌Make sure to hydrate and take care bc you're a nice person and I like your vibes a lot.

AWH IM NOT EVEN GONNA LIE WHEN YOU SAID YOU LIKED MY VIBES I ALMOST CRIED, YOU’RE AO SWEET MY LOVE!

I ship you with Noritoshi Kamo!

Idk why I feel like he just gives good cuddles

But he’s super laid back and down to earth when it comes to being around you

But there are certain people he just can’t stand

People who over abuse their power, people who don’t give respect but expect it

Just pisses him off sometimes

A very independent man but if you need something he won’t hesitate to drop what he’s doing to help out

When first meeting, he tries very hard to earn your trust and interest

It takes a while but he’s just so mesmerized by you he needs more

Loves to take you out to do literally anything

But your the only person who gets to see that side of him

Otherwise he’s very cool and collected when around his fellow lower class mates

He likes to have you sit on his lap and hug you while doing so

Also holds onto your thighs in this process

He is such a big fan of Måneskin but only you know that about him

He’s actually a pretty good singer and loves to serenade you

But doesn’t like to show that skill off, only if you ask

He loves to watch you create digital art it’s literally so cool to him

You have such a cool talent and he’s obsessed

In return he’ll teach you to shoot a bow and arrow and when you hit the target he’ll kiss you and spin you around

Ugh so proud of his baby

He does need your help when it’s regarding fashion

You basically dress him like a little kid

But he takes pride in it

My thoughts on all the Mystic messenger characters and their routes :

Ok, last week I finished playing the mystic messenger game. I completed all the routes, DLCs etc. And, OMG, WHAT A RIDE WAS THAT ! . It doesn't have any appealing plot like other otome games, but this game sure did capture my heart,which most of the otome games fail to do so. The fact I could relate to some of the characters, I felt bad for them, concerned, weirded out at times , and so happy when they changed into a happy person because of me. The game deserves all the praise it gets, 10/10 👍

In this post, I will give my rating based on my playthrough for each character, and I will also say who is my true route as well, i.e, the route I fell in love the most, And please remember, these are based on MY opinions alone, please don't come at me, if it doesn't match yours 👀, Feel free to share your opinions about the characters as well & this post is way long beware ~☆

My playthrough order : I followed the recommended playthrough to get a clear picture of the storyline.

Zen 》Yoosung》 Jaehee》 Jumin 》 Seven》 V 》 Ray.

And for your kind information, I never played this game to get a bad ending, i didn't want to hurt those precious fictional characters just for getting one CG 🤐, but I do know what happens

SPOILER FREE!, I will be just giving MY OWN ratings , except for the rika part lol don't worry, ladies.!

Anyways, let's just jump into it ;),

Zen 🤍:

THAT SMIRK THOUGH 😏

His route : 9/10 ( not the best route, but I liked it anyways, as he is my 1st route)

His character: 8/10 ( I don't like narcissism or narcissistic people, I know it was his coping mechanism, but I kind of dislike those type of men, his attitude in Jumin's route, kinda pissed me off apart from that , he is great ! )

Is he my true route ? : NO, I don't like guys who are narcissistic, I understand that that its was his coping mechanism, to make him believe in himself, but still being narcissistic all the time is not ok, I have a bad memory because of those type of guys, moreover, I am not that confident irl 😂 , I mean the MC in Zen's route,will have to say lots of weird ass choices, and the fact that will impress him⁉️, i wouldn't even say those choices irl to anyone . I wouldn't mind being friends with him though. He is definitely the ideal BF material, but he is just isn't for me..Sorry, Zen.😅

Yoosung 💚 :

AWW CUTIE 🥺💕

His route : 9/10 ( apart from the "You are just like Rika", I personally enjoyed his route, the character development was the best at the end 👌)

His character : 9/10 (OMG! He is just so cute, I am not the one to get attracted to the 'younger guy' type, but this guy just changed everything for me, but he needs lots of attention , beware, yandere yoosungs will pop out if u don't care about him enough, and the fact this guy was the only one who was supportive for Jumin's relationship with MC in Jumin's route , showed how much of a cutie he is!, unlike others 😒, he was a bit annoying in V's route, but it is understandable, he deserves to knw the truth about the person who he admires )

Is he my true route ? : Kind of a YES & a NO. Eventhough I enjoyed his route more than Zen, like I said earlier I am not into those 'younger guy' type, he is a guy who loves to be babied and protected by a mature MC , and well...I am not that mature either 😛,in reality, I am a independent person, but when it comes to relationships, i liked to be babied 😏. I personally think he deserves someone better than me, I don't want to ruin his happiness 🥺

Jaehee 🤎 :

A friend in need is a friend indeed, my bae,Jaehee! 😄

Her route : 7/10 ( ok, I am gonna be honest here, I did not enjoy her route, I was happy that she realized her dreams and goes for it, but do we have to ruin a character just for making this route dramatic? Yes, I am talking about Jumin, Do u guys even know, how much I struggled to even start Jumin's route, I was literally scared of him because of his potrayal in this route as that jerk which he was btw,this route actually made me avoid Jumin for sometime.I expected the relationship between Jumin and Jaehee to become a healthy one, but oh well, whatever, & the after ending was just frustrating,all the RFA members just isolated Jumin, seriously, eventhough he did wrong things ,I felt so bad for him, imagine his thoughts at that moment , ugh...Jaehee deserves a better route, I am just not a fan of 'downgrading one character to give more importance to the main one', it's just bad writing)

Her character : 8/10 ( she is an amazing friend, a bit mature one at that. But personally i felt , if she really wanted to pursue her dreams ,she could have resigned, if she is not liking it . She was behaving a bit ignorant at times, especially in Zen's route. She could have communicated with Jumin beforehand about her difficulty in handling the job? I knw it's very difficult to suddenly quit the job, but she has every right to resign,she does have the money to open a coffee shop, thn why?. Don't come at me, and tell me that I hate her just because she is a female character,HELL NO, I like her but still her route made me have mixed feelings. She was being rude at times , I really understood why CHERTIZ did this, to show women can liberate themselves to work for their dreams, but in a professional point of view, I still think the route could have been handled better. Small businesses success isn't as easy to get, and in my point of view it would have been nice to show how MC and Jaehee make it through in her route rather than making Jumin a jerk, because it ruined Jumin at first for not only me but also a number of players ,but oh well,🏃‍♀️, I do like her, she could be a great friend, nothing more that that )

Is she my true route? : NO, I am straight. I see Jaehee as a friend. Some ask a romantic route for her, but I don't mind about that , I was just glad that I could help her to realize her dreams as a FRIEND.

Jumin 💜 :

I don't see a selfish jerk here, I see a soft boi , in a gigantic body, who is just lonely

His route : 10/10 ( Seriously, I did not expect to like his route one bit, I thought I would hate him more, but turns out, I freaking fell in love with the flawed "him" , HECK YEAH! this was the only route where i was being TRUE TO MYSELF, did not refer any guides, understood his loneliness, I could relate to him so bad, I was happy to help him during his vulnerable times 🤧.Zen was annoying ,but I didn't care much about it, because I knw why he was like this. I prefer the good ending, and yes he does propose for marriage to whom he have talked for only 11 days, but I was very sure he will listen to you, if u don't want the marriage immediately )

His character : 9/10 ( He is so cute in his own way,mature, intelligent,awkward and even gets insecure,because he thinks he does not deserve you?! , you deserve better than me ,Jumin 😫, he does get possessive and irrational and that could make others uncomfortable, but for me, I understood that as well, being an empath myself ,as this dude never had a relationship with anyone,he is new into this, I don't mind teaching him new things about the world, about love. His characterization in Jaehee's route was god awful and cheritz did a bad job in it , I think they decided to make him like this, just for DRAMA,Jumin might have a bad way of showing emotions but he is not a soul less demon. I have seen people calling Jumin an abuser, but I didn't see that at all, he was being an idiot and he acknowledges it, every damn time, an abuser doesn't do this at all, and no..I don't think Jumin is dominant daddy material one bit like how the fandom perceives him. This is his first relationship with a woman, I feel he would be sweet, embarrassed loving and a loyal husband material, and I love his "opposed to living together before marriage" thing as well, as my religion follows that too as well )

Is he my true route? : A. BIG. FAT. YES. HE IS JUST MY TYPE, dear lord. I have never seen someone so perfect and also with flaws just like me , this guy made me realize that all along, I just never showed empathy towards others and that's why no one wanted to talk to me irl, I didn't care what people told about me. He seriously made me understand my own flaws and I corrected it, he made me into a better person, big thx , Mr.Jumin . Morever , I was being myself in his route only, I loved all of his calls , he brings up the strangest things just to talk to you, that's just so cute WTH , this man will be so loyal I am sure of it !.I don't really care about his riches, I am just in love with his true self 😫🥺

707 ❤ :

The main man of this game, hmmm....

His route : 7/10 ( ok, I was so hyped to play his route , cuz even before I started to play this game, 707 was so popular, I expected a lot, but it was a meh for me...he did have a VERY HEARTBREAKING PAST , he was suffering from a lot of things, I understand. But the whole route wasn't that gud though...and his secret endings are just painfully depressing and angsty, V's death just broke my heart, I felt so frickin bad for Jumin, how would he even handle those things?.It just destroyed me completely. Moreover I don't find 707's jokes funny at times, his route had good plot, but 707 failed to impress me in his own route)

His character : 7/ 10 ( oh boi,I am scared that I would be slaughtered with hatred for telling this, the fact that he was faking his own personality was very shocking to me, I did not expect that. I despise tsunderes ,and 707 is the literal definition of it, so yeah, It ended up being annoying for me. Even though I was hella depressed like 707 before, I couldn't find him #relatable at all. I don't knw why , but I couldn't see him more than a friend 🚶‍♀️)

Is he my true route? : NOPE. I was not impressed by him at all, don't knw why lol, I tried to like him as he is THE REAL TRUE ROUTE,but it is still not getting into my heart, maybe because I already started to love Jumin, idk. I felt bad for 707, I wouldn't mind helping him as a friend, but as a significant other...NAH....,I am not into these type of guys 🥴,sorry seven...

V 💙 :

I can understand why Jumin and V were best friends...they be looking like DADDY 👀

His route : 8 /10 ( for me, I was happy that V finally understood that he was basically a obsessive simp for Rika, I hated that he blamed himself more, which somehow I agree, I feel like he could have said something to the RFA , yoosung was hella annoying in this route, he spoke as if Rika is an angel or something, which she is not btw, yoosung, she brainwashed saeran and freakin created a cult, and this is not something an angel would do 🥴, V is not just flawed or anything,he doesn't even love himself,and so clings to rika because she was so wonderful in her eyes as an idea .He kept the freakin truth hidden,just because Rika doesn't want to, of course, my baby,yoosung will ask about . V is too emotional,and he was a victim of rika's abuse and manipulation just like Saeran,I liked the plot and though I didn't fall in love with him , I did have a tinsy bit of crush on him, mainly because of his looks, more like a puppy love, the voice acting was on point 👌)

His character : 7/ 10 ( boi could have handled the situation with his crazy GF much better, he actually let Saeran get brainwashed by Rika, he could have done something, and the fact that he liked Rika only as an idea, showed that this guy was in a very toxic relationship, Rika and V are the perfect example of what happens when two people who doesn't love themselves date, and he was clearly the victim of Rika's abuse and manipulation. I also don't think he is an angel either, he has done some wrong things definitely, and the fandom should acknowledge his wrong doings)

Is he my true route? : NO. Though Jumin and V are very similar , I did not like the fact that he simped for his crazy GF out of his obsession alone and though, she was clearly showing red flags earlier, he thinks that the power of love can change her lol . He was so confusing for me to understand. 😂

Ray 💖 :

His route : 10/10 ( The drama , the music, the plot & the voice acting was just fantastic, I was blown away by this route, but that doesn't mean I liked Saeran as a character, the boi needs therapy, not romance lol, sry,and the recovery from his brainwashed state was unrealistic )

His character : 7/10 ( seriously, the voice acting for both the personalities was just mind blowing, he is such a well written character, but his abandonment issues isn't something u should romanticize about, he loved the affection that the MC was giving , but one wrong move, he will change just like that , he confused affection with love. Some are telling that Jumin was abusive, which he is not btw , for me, suit Saeran was super abusive, WTH)

Is he my true route ? : HELL NO. Eventhough he was practically innocent because he was under the influence of that elixir or some kind of a drug and brainwashed by Rika , I would never in my life try to have a romantic relationship with those kind of people. I may like him after he receives proper therapy ,but NO, just No, I can help him as a person, but I wouldn't go for a kiss or something with him. 🙄

Rika 💔:

This scene still gives me goosebumps 🙄

Her character : -infinity / 20 ( she deserves this uwu)

SPOILERS AHEAD!

Ok, hear me out, I hate Rika so much , i know she has been through a lot, i really do.. but it doesn't mean you can emotionally abuse and brainwash Saeran, he would have been a better person,she turned a person who loves ice cream and cloud watching into a self destructive psycho, another story showed how much she is capable of by her words , She manipulated V to not tell RFA that she is gonna start a cult, WHAT THE HELL, V, do you not knw what she is trying to do here 😳 ? But whatever,V was being manipulated by her "playing as a victim" tactics, she also played with Jumin's feelings for her, I was about to throw my hands on her, how dare u do that to my man ??, made yoosung to obsess over her to make him think that she is absolutely a gud person, and left him to ponder over her so called 'passing' , making him unable to move on from her.

And oh god,the backstory did not make me feel bad for her one bit, it only made me understand why she has become like this. Like dude, I understood she had a shitty past, but so did the other members of RFA, but did they all become like a manipulative victim player? Hell no.. they learned from their mistakes and they change, but even when all the members were trying to help her, she denies that she doesn't need a therapy. She deserves a proper mental therapy and a proper jail time. NO EXCUSE FOR THAT, she did the same manipulation and brainwashing for all of her disciples to get them into Mint eye.

But as a character , Rika just rocked it for me , she was so successful in making me and a lot of the fans hate her as an antagonist. Her voice actor was so gud,she had such a good way of speaking manipulative, like God, I understood why all the RFA members were all kind of whipped for her, she is such a master piece as an antagonist. 🚶‍♀️🤫

Vanderwood 💞👀 :

I NEED A VANDERWOOD ROUTE 😫

His character: 10/10 idk, why am I giving a rating for him though? I just love him 😂

Ok, I know he is a side character, but for some reason, I liked him more than 707 lol 👀, I just spoke with him only in one chatroom , but boi , was I whipped for him 😜

*******************************************

My favourite to least MM main characters and routes :

JUMIN - 19/20 ( 1st)

YOOSUNG - 18/20 (2nd)

ZEN & RAY - 17/ 20 ( 3rd)

V & JAEHEE - 15 / 20 ( 4th )

707 - 14 / 20 ( 5th, it's not that I hate him or something, it's just that I was neither IMPRESSED by his character nor the route, I don't mind him one bit! )

Rika -Though she doesn't have a route or a gud character she deserves a -infinity/20 ( and no place in my heart 🚶‍♀️)

Overall, this game is the best otome game ! , I actually paid for getting the hourglasses, I mean, I suck at patience, I was so intrigued by the story, but it was seriously worth it !. There are a number of otome games which charge more than this.

Anyways,

Thank you, Cheritz for creating Mystic messenger. This game totally changed how I perceived life, love ❤ and Romance 💕
