#and the last q was me trying to keep it brief....... lol

I saw the ask where you ranked all of the ST seasons, and I was wondering what specifically was your favorite and least favorite thing about each of the seasons? Thanks!
Ohh good q! It’s hard to boil down one thing for each and I struggle to keep things brief lol, but I’ll try:
S1: 
Favourite Besides the fact that S1 is Stranger Things to me (no other season captures the same feeling entirely, imo), my favourite thing about it is its unapologetically genuine nature. It leans so enthusiastically into all of its influences. It commits hard to the small-town mystery vibe, to the singular experience of childhood friendship, to the themes that make great stories great. S1 is and always will be unparalleled. 
Least favourite: So difficult to pick but I’d say… Lonnie? That’s the only plot line that feels too much like filler — arguably necessary, but least intriguing I think
S2:
Favourite: The last two episodes as a whole, and how the story peaks and comes together. The energy and pacing of eps 8 & 9 were nail-biting in a way I feel has been hard to match since
Least favourite: The first few eps are really slow, and chock-full of meandering filler; Max is what kept it afloat for me but otherwise that’s why I often avoid S2 rewatches, because the pacing is so sluggish at the beginning
S3: 
Favourite: Hopper’s letter, which to date has been the most emotionally impactful thing for me in ST (maybe apart from S1 as a whole)
Least favourite: Mmmm… a lot lol. Overall I can appreciate S3 for what it was now, looking back, because they shifted tone and committed to a whole different palette for the sake of style and novelty, but it didn’t pay off for me. It strayed the most from the core of ST and I’ve never felt very connected to or moved by it because of that.
S4:
Favourite: Max Mayfield, all day every day (and as a result, Lucas Sinclair. Always). Her storyline tied the whole season together and while there were so many aspects I enjoyed, hers still stands out the most 
Least favourite: It’s a tie between the Russia & California sub-plots. They were so unnecessarily mishandled, and so many things that should’ve been emotionally gratifying just weren’t, for me, because of it.

restructuring task 1
+5 tracker points
1. assuming your muse has changed in some way, be it internally or as a result of a change of the external factors around them, how is your muse different? these can be as small as an opinion on a song they hadn’t released previously or as big as a major change in their background.
wc: 365
idk if i’ve said this on dash yet, but i’m treating new famed more or less like an au. in sung’s au, the defining change is that he was let go from gold star when he had his injury as a trainee. it was always my headcanon that they truly were close to cutting him loose anyway, so this is just the other side of that. he had his injury, got plastic surgery to try to appease them into keeping him, and they still let him go. when he went home his parents said alright u tried that now join the fam business n sung freaked bc he realized he doesnt want that for himself so he went to do smth he also hated, and joined the military. while there he still worked on his dance and vocals whenever he had a moment to do so, so that when he was discharged and started auditioning again, he wasn’t so rusty
he is a year younger in this world, just bc of quantum’s age range, not for any other reason. makes him a little less of a cradle robber in his relationship lol which, another change is that daisuke wouldn’t have been his first kiss, just first everything else
quantum is very different from old element and new element, but it’s very in line with what i liked about quicksilver (& has models from that) and he’s a leader! this is an idea ive toyed with a lot over the last three years tbh. at first i didn’t think sung suited a leader position, but he came to show me he’s just a different kind of leader. i liken him to jinki often in this regard. rather than lassoing members in, he supports them being however they are, and takes an intimate/emotional path to gaining their trust and leading them. and while he wasn’t suited for the full business life, what he learned from his father’s teachings helps him in dealing with the company as the group’s representative there (& he loves a good powerpoint presentation)
other timeline stuff for big events in his life are likely to shift but i’m not sure on specifics yet
2. what does your muse think of their company and their group?
wc: 260
as the child of a businessman, he’s never under the illusion that as a company entity, their first priority is their wellbeing. he knows that they are products, and that they’re treated as such. it’s a bit heavier with dimensions than gold star, since gold star makes a more active effort to pretend they care. however, once having accepted that, sung thinks himself and dimensions work well together. he does feel that for a company, they allow himself and his members to be a part of the creative process, as says their motto. he feels much more encouraged to write songs and choreograph under dimensions than he did under gold star, where it felt like he was constantly on his knees begging for the company to take him seriously
as for quantum, sung really loves what they’re about. he’s not a big fan of all (or most) of their songs, though he’s more loving towards a song written by another member even if it’s the same sound he dislikes, but he absolutely loves being focused on performance and concepts. his creative mind works very much on the basis of story and emotion that comes with it, and he feels like quantum’s concepts sometimes to often lean into his tastes. he’s always been a dancer first and foremost (god am i so glad to have his main dancer title back i MISSED u) so focusing on performance is v much up his alley, and his preferred style of dance is through storytelling. he feels the heart of dance is in that
3. is your muse on their first contract or their second? if they’ve renewed, what were their feelings around that at the time and what were their hopes for their second contract? if they haven’t renewed, what are their current thoughts on the end of their eventual first contract?
wc: 281
quantum’s on their first contract still, up for renewal in 2024. at the current moment, he would like to re-sign. however, unlike my others, his re-signing depends more heavily on the other members. if they were unhappy and wanted to leave, sung would want to follow suit, not because he can’t make his own decisions, but because if the reason the members want to leave is because of the company, not quantum, he’d want to try to help quantum continue to live. if that means all of the members leaving in order to rebrand under another company, so be it. he’d like to avoid lineup changes however he can, and ideally would like to be an idol for as long as possible
he himself feels alright about his treatment. he feels creatively stimulated, and appreciated for talents further than his face. if he were to try to negotiate different terms at their contract renewal, part of it would likely be wanting to give members a higher share of profits, especially on releases they’re creatively involved in. sung personally has no use for excessive money, but not all of his members have his background, and he feels more than just the money, it’s what’s fair. he’d also prefer to allow for more creative freedom. as a 7/8 year group by then, he’d think they should be allowed to take the reigns more heavily. and on his personal side of things, he would want dimensions to be more mindful of his schedule. sung enjoys working, but he’s only one person, who doesn’t want to be overworked. these are all just his current thoughts, though, and will probably change before contract renewal comes up
4. what are your muse’s goals and motivations?
wc: 294
his motivations to be ‘successful’ and/or achieve his goals are his family, namely being someone his nephew and niece can be proud of, and someone his parents can feel was worth letting go of. he feels closer to the latter than he did in old famed. his members motivate him to be a good leader, his desire to grow as a creator motivates him to write and choreograph
specific goals could be bigger like his desire for more public recognition. while quantum has a lot more recognition both in korea and abroad than element or quicksilver, sung wants the best for his group. he’d be happy if they stayed where they are with their loyal fandom, but he still aims for more
sung also wants to get better at standing up for himself. he’s best at standing up for others, because he can slap on a bit of bravado in order to help them out, but when it comes to himself, especially with his parents, he’s pretty awful at it
he’d also like to create more for quantum, and others. i/he have a goal for him to write a whole album for someone, so if anyone reads this far and could want sung writing for their muse, hit me up!
he’d like to get married and have children one day. that’s always been a dream of his, and while he knows his career doesn’t allow for that soon, it’s still on his docket
he wants to spend more time with his family, especially his nephew and niece. they’re so new to the world and learning everything, and sung wants to be a part of that. he doesnt want his part in their early lives to be ‘i don’t really remember seeing him back then’
5. what is one conflict, internal or external, that your muse is currently dealing with, has recently dealt with, or will need to deal with in the future?
wc: 291
at some point, this bitch is gonna have to admit he’s a homiesexual. in his previous version, it was a lot easier for him to ‘i pretend i do not see it’ when it came to that. sung’s very ignorant when it comes to the queer community in korea, so he’s not even really aware of terms beyond gay, maybe trans. but, terms aside, he always thought he was someone who liked women, and daisuke and a couple of others were just outliers. they were the Special ones outside of his jurisdiction that were just too good for him to not notice. aka he believed he was bi. and now, he still does, but i have less faith he’ll be able to hold that up until he dies like i did before, because he’s actually dated at least one woman before in this world. considering the plot has yet to be picked up, i don’t know the specifics, but i do think it’s harder to run away from when the way he treated a relationship with a woman and a relationship with a man were lightyears away from one another. it’s still possible for him to run away from the truth of the situation, but it’s also very possible that one day, his thoughts on it will shake, and everything will click into place (messily,, probably the messiest clicking ever) it would be a difficult thing for him to come to terms with, though i think it’s better for him in the longterm to truly know who he is, and why he acts the way he does, why he feels the way he does about women vs men. it’s also nice just to not live a lie, even if only privately
6. if your muse has established career claims, what are their thoughts on their career so far? if they do not, how do they feel about not having individual activities yet? what would they like to do in the future, if anything? if they don’t have ambitions for individual activities, explain why.
wc: 523
sung has a pretty filled history of individual activities. most are points claims with a focus on modelling, his radio, and music, though he’s dipped into pretty much ever facet of idoldom, some with more success than others. his ecp expenditures flesh that out a little more, and add a bit more realism, and/or make sense of the group changes. he had a one year modelling contract with the north face, and while official claims aren’t possible, i was inspired by a couple of things rowoon did with them. there was more of a push on an eco-friendly side of things, and there was a bit of dancing. playing into his group position with dancing i feel is fitting, but the eco friendly part i also feel could round out his image more as a good, kind boy who also can be sexy, whereas before, his earlier modelling claims focused a lot more on the sexy aspect, because it fit element and his trajectory there better. here, it makes him more dual sided from the beginning. north face is also just a nice, strong brand that i think is fitting for a pretty boi. i set it a bit after a year out from debut because i feel like that’s the most realistic, especially for a group like quantum that grew audience with each comeback
part of that first year being focusing only on the group ties into his creative claims as well! his first creative claim was with the bside love, lalala on the eternity ep. the nicest part of creative claims being unattached to positions is that all of sung’s claims are the songs in the discography most Him. so love lalala is very jazzy and smooth, and would have served as his first introduction to songwriting, as well as what made him interested in songwriting. then he was a choreographer on error, which is heavily story based, and about the members being a unit, and making beautiful pictures together. i hope to snag intro long journey and outro long journey from the beginning and end of the ateez sector, because they’re beautiful compositions that fit sung’s style, but also having him on both makes him feel like he’s a part of the concept’s creation in an intimate way, which fits with dms. then there’s aurora, which sung partially composed and partially choreographed. the choreography has contemporary flair to it, and the song is a flowing sound that matches that. then there’s partial production on sunrise, which i just love the robotic ass experimental production there, and comp for with u, which i believe ties back into sung’s rediscovering his love of piano. choreo for valkyrie is most similar to error in it’s pretty pictures way, and also has a bit of complex footwork, especially as its point dance, which is also p sung to want to include. and finally, some comp on stand by, which is like a mix of the appeal of aurora and with u methinks? listening to all of his written songs together i feel like really makes a picture of sung’s songwriting so i love that

Imagine Coming Out to Steve as Bisexual:
A/N: Here’s (hopefully) the first installment of a sort-of series that I like to call the Imagine Pride Series. I don’t know how many I’ll get done this Pride Month since I’m starting it sort of in the middle of the month but if people end up liking it and I get enough ideas/requests for it, I’ll continue it and maybe it’ll become an annual thing until I’ve done a billion characters or get bored of it, lol. Anyway, this first one ended up being very personal for me, which I definitely didn’t intend, but... yeah, lol. Also, this series will be filled to the brim with my personal LGBTQ+ headcanons for Marvel characters, so if that’s not your thing, steer clear. Anyway, enjoy!
Word count: 2,477
Warnings: Coming out anxiety. Use of the Q-slur (reclaiming) and one F-bomb.
Masterlist
Ko-Fi Shoppe
~~~
    You were in your bedroom getting prepared for lounge time before bed—and psyching yourself up—when you thought you heard the front door open through your apartment’s paper-thin walls. You grabbed your phone and turned down the music playing from your Bluetooth speaker; the current song was Janelle Monáe’s “I Like That”, from the Queer Confidence playlist that you’d built for this specific event. Taking a deep breath and giving yourself one more good look in the mirror attached to your closet door, eyeing the to-go bag you had packed with essentials and left ready to grab on the bed, you listened to the jingle of keys as they were dropped onto the table by the door. The sound was quickly followed by a voice.
    “[Y/N]?” Steve half-hollered, and you heard the sounds of movement as he made his way to the hall. His voice got softer as he got closer. “Baby?”
    You gave yourself a shake and patted your face with your hands before answering. “Bedroom!”
    Even though the two of you had been living together for well over a year, he still knocked and waited politely outside until you gave him explicit permission to enter. When he did, he immediately gravitated towards you. He casually looked over you, in your pajama pants and baggy cropped sweatshirt, as he strolled over, and seeing the slightest furrow of his brows made your stomach churn. Steve Rogers wasn’t too bad at reading people but he was always able to read you like a book and you immediately knew that he noticed how tense you were.
    Apparently, he also noticed that you were trying to keep your cool and act normal because he didn’t immediately jump into Worried Eyebrows Rogers. Instead, he decided to give you some time to sort yourself out and opted to simply hug you from behind. Nuzzling his head into the crook of your neck, his warm breath gave you goosebumps as he mumbled a soft, “Hi.”
    You almost forgot about your plan as you melted back into his arms. “Hi,” you replied just as softly as you leaned your head to rest on top of his. You allowed yourself to close your eyes and place your hands on his, slowly run your hands up and down his forearms; you tried to take everything in just in case this was the last time you would be held by him. The solidness of the chest you leaned against, the sturdiness of his footing even as you put your full weight against him because, in reality, your body weight was like carrying a loaf of bread to the super-soldier. The curve of veins and muscle across his arms, the dampness of his hair under your cheek that was probably caused by his evening run despite the rain happening at the time. The faded smell of the 2-in-1 shampoo-conditioner that Steve used despite your complaining, the much warmer body heat than any normal person that was like being wrapped in a heated blanket during the wintertime but being suffocated in a sauna during the summer, that currently bled into you and wrapped you into a comforting cocoon.
    You weren’t sure how long the two of you had been standing like that in silence but it was long enough for Steve to decide that it was Worried Eyebrows time. He slowly raised his head again and when you opened your eyes again, he was watching you carefully in the mirror. He wore a dark navy T-shirt that was just tight enough to outline the muscular form underneath—with the help of Thor and Asgardian booze early on in your relationship, you’d gotten a blushing and giggly drunk Steve to admit that he purposely wore clothes like it because he enjoyed the attention, just a smidge—and a pair of black joggers that you got him for Christmas a few months ago.
    “Are you okay?” Worried Rogers finally asked when he realized you weren’t going to speak first. He kept eye contact with you via the mirror, which almost hurt to hold on your end, as he pressed a light kiss against your temple and then a second one to your cheek. “You called me home early. Said it was something that couldn’t wait?”
    And now I don’t want to say it at all, you thought as you tugged your bottom lip between your teeth. After hesitating for a bit longer—a few seconds or a half-hour, you couldn’t tell through your anxious haze—you sighed and said, “We need to talk.”
    “What, it’s not like you’re leaving me or something, are you?” Steve questioned. The quirk of his brows and a brief smile that appeared told you that he was joking but when you didn’t even chuckle or tease him back, that smile quickly reversed into a frown. “That’s not what’s happening here, is it?”
    “Well…” you mumbled, then trailed off. You glanced towards the bed, where your emergency-leave bag sat waiting, and when you looked back at Steve’s reflection, he was staring at the bag with worry lines etched deep into his skin. “That’s up to you.”
    “Hold on.” Steve moved from behind to stand in front of you, although it was only briefly as he took your hands tightly in his and led you to sit on the edge of the bed with him. He glanced at the bag again, the lines on his face grew deeper again, and you were suddenly reminded of his true age. He looked you in the eye again. “[Y/N], talk to me.”
    “Ours” by Taylor Swift played quietly in the background as you tried to untangle your thoughts and make your mouth work again. The song wasn’t a Pride song or by an LGBTQ+ artist but something about it just fit so well. As you tried to recall the speech you’d been practicing all day, then decided to throw it out altogether, Taylor sang, “So don’t you worry your pretty little mind / People throw rocks at things that shine / And life makes love look hard…”
    “Steve, I…” Your tongue seemed to tie itself in a knot whenever you tried to say it. 
    Steve’s worried, borderline scared, look turned soft. The gentle Worried Eyebrows were back and his thumbs caressed the backs of your hands so softly that it felt like he thought you’d shatter at any minute. He pressed another, stronger kiss against your forehead and mumbled, “You know you can tell me anything.”
    Steve was one of the kindest, most welcoming, most understanding people you’ve ever known but there was still something intimidating about telling him. Normally, you couldn’t fathom him reacting poorly to anything that you could have said but now, you couldn’t help remembering the fact that he was a masculine, old-fashioned, soldier—a soldier from the ’40s—who was still the Ideal American Man to a lot of people, especially some rather unsavory people, and to your knowledge, Steve didn’t have any other queer people in his life that were close to him. Maybe he didn’t want any. Maybe he didn’t like them, like many people who idolized him don’t like them. 
    A little spark of anger sparked in the dark void of anxiety that you were feeling. It wasn’t fair that people hated people like you simply for existing and as much as you loved Steve, if he held the same sentiments, you definitely didn’t want to be with him. The spark quickly turned into a raging fire and suddenly you were blurting out what you’d struggled to say all day, all month, ever since you’d discovered yourself.
    “Steve, I’m bi.”
    Steve stared at you for a bit, then blinked. “What?”
    You took a breath and squared your shoulders. It wasn’t any easier to say it a second time, but you managed in what you hoped was a confident voice, “I’m bisexual.”
    Steve blinked again and his head tilted slightly to the side, but otherwise didn’t move much. “Okay.”
    “O… Okay.” You echoed. You felt your cheeks grow warm.
    Slowly, a relieved smile appeared on Steve’s face and you watched as the tension in his entire posture relaxed. “Was that what you wanted to tell me? You wanted to come out as bisexual?”
    Your face grew heated still and you glanced away. You pulled your sweaty hands from Steve’s and wiped them on your pant legs as you stammered, “Y… Yeah, I mean, yes.” You picked at the fraying hem of your shirt for a few moments, then looked back at your boyfriend—to see that he was absolutely glowing. “You don’t care?”
    “No, of course not,” Steve said, only to quickly shake his head and backtrack, “I mean, of course, I do! I care because it’s you and your identity. I just— It’s just not what I was expecting at all.”
    It was your turn to stare at him. Now you just felt a little silly. “What were you expecting?”
    Steve looked past you to the bag sitting on the other side of you and his expression saddened a bit. He took your hand tightly in his own and squeezed them as he looked at you again. “What were you?”
    “Uh…” you mumbled, avoiding his gaze, “Well, I guess… I don’t know…”
    “[Y/N],” Steve said more sternly, “you don’t have to sugarcoat it. I’m a grown man; I can handle it.”
    “A grown man who was America’s Sweetheart in the ‘40s,” you pointed out. “I had a right to be worried.”
    Steve nodded slowly. “No, of course, you did. I understand. You know I’m okay with it, though, right? I’ve made that clear, right? I’m proud of you and I’m grateful that you told me. Glad that you felt safe enough to tell me, even if you were still worried about it. You know that, right?”
    Kesha’s “Raising Hell” played in the background as you scrubbed your eyes with your sweatshirt sleeves, gave Steve a dumb-feeling nod. Of course, you knew Steve wouldn’t care.
    Steve took you in a tight hug as you tried to shake away the tears burning at the corners of your eyes. He ran a hand over your hair and gently rocked the two of back and forth in true, calming, Worried Eyebrows Rogers fashion. After a bit, when he felt you finally relaxing, he murmured against your hair, “I love you, you know? All of you. Because you’re you.”
    You felt your cheeks warm again and you nodded against his chest. “I love you too.”
    The two of you continued to sit like that for a while until Steve suddenly hummed thoughtfully. He slowly released you and you let him go, he sat back on his hands and chewed the inside of his cheek. 
    You watched him curiously as he glanced around the room, thinking. “What?”
    “You know, I…” Now he trailed off, glanced at you before his gaze darted away again and he chewed his cheek again. “I… Now I know this isn’t my information to share but Buck’s always been pretty uncaring about it, I guess.”
    Your brows furrowed. “Buck? Like, Bucky-Buck? Our Bucky.”
    Steve chuckled. “Yeah, our Bucky.”
    “What about Bucky?”
    Steve hesitated again but eventually continued, “I had almost the exact same conversation with him before he left for the war.”
    Your eyes widened. “Wait— Bucky?”
    Steve nodded slowly again and his gaze finally settled on you again. “Bi too. Coincidence, huh? He was lucky, sort of. Says he always knew. Obviously not super open, given the time, but he was never ashamed of it or anything.” He paused and briefly glanced away again before continuing. “I still don’t know.”
    You blinked. “Don’t know what?”
    Steve just stared at you, cheeks tinting pink as he waited for you to put the pieces together.
    “Wait, you’re queer?”
    Steve shook his head quickly. “Or something. But I don’t like that word. Power to anyone who uses it positively but I was around when it wasn’t.”
    “Right,” you said, still dumbfounded, “Sorry. Yeah, I won’t use it for you then. Hang on; you’re not straight then?”
    Steve chewed his lip and gave you the cutest bashful smile that you’d ever seen on such a large man; you could almost see the scrawny, sickly, pre-serum Steve sitting in front of you.
    “I’m offended,” he softly quipped.
    You stared at him a bit longer. Then you burst into laughter. Steve chuckled along with you, watched you with a growing smile as you fell back onto the bed in a giggling fit. Eventually, you calmed down, wiping tears that you weren’t sure were completely from laughing and staring up at the bedroom ceiling. “My gaydar’s fucked, dude.”
    This time Steve laughed and he collapsed back onto the bed with you. Then he grabbed you, wrapping his arms tightly around your back as he rolled over with you so that you were laying on top of him.
    “Well, like I said,” he said, watching you, “I don’t know.”
    “Well, you kind of know, though,” you replied, “right?”
    Steve tilted his head a bit, then nodded. “Kind of.”
    “So… what?”
    “What?”
    You shrugged and grinned. “I don’t know. What are you into? What do you think you are? Like, I uh… I like girls. And guys. And everything in between and outside.”
    “I thought that was pansexual or something?”
    “For some people it is. For some people, bi is only girls and only guys. I tried pan, omni, a few others, but bi was what I always came back to. Bi just… fits.”
    Steve sighed and stared past you at the ceiling again. “See, I just think there’s too much information. I’m too old. Get confused easily.” 
    You snorted and snickered as he flashed a smile at you. “Some people don’t do any of it, you know. Labels and stuff, I mean. They’re just kinda like ‘I like this and all there it is to it.’ No label, just them and love. Couldn’t be me but it works for other people.”
    Steve nodded again and after a minute said, “I just like people.”
    You smiled at him. “Okay.”
    He looked at you. “I really like you.”
    The smile slowly turned into a grin. “Oh yeah?”
    Steve smiled back and held you tighter against him. “I like you a lot.”
    “Well, well, Mr. Rogers—”
    “Captain,” he grumbled under his breath, “but it’s fine.”
    “Captain Rogers,” you corrected as you slinked up to lean over him. You took his face in your hands and leaned so close that your noses bumped together. “I like you a lot too.”
    Steve leaned in the rest of the way to kiss you and you kissed him back. Despite the teasing, the kiss was soft and sweet, and when he pulled away from you, the way he looked at you full of love was just as sweet.
    “Love you,” he said.
    “I love you too.”

DIABOLIK LOVERS MORE, BLOOD OFFICIAL VISUAL FANBOOK ー Interview Vol. 3 feat. Satoi
Tumblr media
Source: DIABOLIK LOVERS MORE, BLOOD Official Visual Fanbook
Release date: 2013
Huge thank you to @keithvalentinex​ for providing the raw scans!
SECTION 1: Q&A
Q1. How did you feel when a sequel game got green light?
A: I think it is wonderful how much support this series has received. However, quite some time has passed since the franchise’s initial release and the art style has changed over time too, so I remember checking with the production staff whether or not it was okay for me to draw the visuals.
Q2. Is there anything you paid extra attention to while designing the Mukami brothers?
A: I mostly followed the instructions given to me to shape up the visuals. For the Mukami brothers, I tried to make them seem more human and approachable, just like I was directed to. The initial concept I was given for them had many similarities to the existing characters, so it was difficult to set them apart by design alone. However, by the time the CDs were completed, I thought it was amazing how all four of them turned out to be entirely different Do-S characters.
Q3. Karlheinz’ visual design makes its debut in this installment.
A: While designing the visuals for the mothers during last game’s development, I already imagined him with Reiji’s red eyes and Subaru and Christa’s white hair inside my head. I designed him while trying to add in a mature look which the brothers still lack. Since the series does not have a character with long hair so far, I decided to go for that look. He is the most grant character within the franchise, so I tried to make him fit said image.
Q4. Please tell me in which order you completed the visuals for the Mukami brothers.
A: I believe the order went like this: Yuma -> Azusa -> Kou -> Ruki. For Yuma, the first design I submitted immediately got accepted. Kou’s heterochromia was added later on, but I kind of like it.
Q5. Which character did you struggle with the most while coming up with the visuals?
A: Ruki. When I looked at the instructions, I thought he would overlap with Reiji... (lol) so I had a hard time coming up with an image for him. The final design ended up looking too ‘normal’ (for Diabolik Lovers) so I ended up asking whether it was okay for him to look like a regular guy. (lol)
Q6. Do the Mukami brothers have any features in common?
A: I gave all of the Mukami brothers prominent eyelashes. Then afterwards I distinguished between them through the shape of their eyes and eyebrows.
Q7. Please tell us what you were mindful of while designing the models for the boys’ younger versions.
A: I designed them with the intention of keeping their unique personalities but simply making them smaller. Shuu was not listless as a child, so I made him look more sharp. Looking at it now, I kind of wish I had changed his hair style as well.
Q8. Which character is the easiest for you to draw? Which is the hardest?
A: There are a lot of lines and different colors in the Diabolik Lovers art style, so these illustrations aren’t easy to draw. However, Kanato has larger features which makes him somewhat easier in comparison to the others. When I find a character hard to draw, I end up not being able to draw them at all, so I try not to think about it.
Q9. How about the underwear designs?
A: I received a lot of advice from Ito-san when drawing the underwear designs. I ended up chuckling when I received the suggestion to draw Reiji in brief bikini bottoms.
Q10. Please tell us your favorite CG, the CG you think turned out the best and the CG you struggled with the most. 
A: The CG I like the most has to be the one of Kou’s Ending where he’s flying in the sky. This game doesn’t feature the characters smiling very often, so I had a lot of fun drawing that one. 
Rather than thinking it turned out the best, I simply like this CG but it’s the one from Ayato’s ED where they are having their wedding ceremony. I believe I portrayed their happiness well. 
I struggled with all the CGs!
Q11. Please tell us your favorite cover illustration you’ve drawn for the series so far.
A: Since they are all Do-S characters, for their CD covers, I first and foremost try to portray their sadism and how ‘sick’ they are.  I’m sure you can tell which characters I personally favor, but I think I did an okay job at showing all of their unique personalities...Or so I’d like to think.
Q12. What were you going for when drawing the cover for this installment?
A: The story of ‘MORE, BLOOD’ is somewhat heartbreaking, so I decided to switch things up and make the expressions a little sorrowful as well. 
Q13. Please leave a message for the fans.
A: I want to sincerely thank all of you for supporting the series for such a long time. I hope you will continue to enjoy the ‘DIABOLIK LOVERS’ characters from here on out!
SECTION 2: SATOI CHOOSES ー SITUATION-DEPENDENT CHARACTER SELECT
Who would you choose in these situations? What’s the developer’s opinion?
S1. To sleep together with?
Best: Teddy, he’s just the right size.
Worst: Yuma, not only do I imagine he’d have a bad sleeping posture, but his hair would probably prick me.
S2. To go on a trip together with?
Best: Ruki or Reiji because I think they’d be very knowledgeable on the area and its trivia.
Worst: Kanato, I feel like he would be selfish and wouldn’t want let me decide where I’d like to go.
S3. To eat together with?
Best: Kou or Laito because they’d probably make a lot of small talk which seems fun.
Worst: Reiji because I feel like he would be a little fussy about my table manners.
S4. To study with?
Best: Ruki or Reiji since they’re smart so they could probably teach me.
Worst: Ayato, I’m sure it’d be fun but I doubt I’d be able to concentrate.
S5. To go on a date with?
Best: Kou or Laito because they seem fun to hang out with.
Worst: Kanato, I’m sure he’d burst out into tears at some point.
S6. To play a video game with?
Best: Kou or Laito, they seem like good gamers.
Worst: Subaru, he might just break the gaming console.
S7. To play sports with?
Best: Ayato, I want to see him play basketball. 
Worst: Shuu or Azusa because they’d barely move.
S8. To go on a drive with?
Best: Ruki, he seems like a good driver.
Worst: Subaru, he’d wreck the car.

Tumblr media
chan:
chan is definitely extremely interested in the music you listen to.
in fact, sometimes he’d probably insist that you show him your current playlist from start to finish lol.
i can imagine y’all hanging out at the dorms, maybe even mid-cuddle, listening to some of your recent favorites.
but there’s this ONE SONG--
your absolute JAM
you get up from your seat or the bed and start completely jamming out.
he stays where he is so he can watch you have the time of your life.
i guess nobody told him you’re a professional lip syncer… awk...
you grab a hairbrush and hold it up like it’s a microphone.
honestly you’re thriving,,
he’s kinda stunned. not in a bad way, but he’s just so mezmorized by how cute (and maybe a lil sexy) you are when you dance like no one’s watching.
there’s a particularly awesome beat drop toward the end of the song, which leads you to do some equally awesome head banging.
he’s cackling at this point, which drives you to act even sillier.
*ending pose*
once the song ends and you’re trying to catch your breath, he slowly starts clapping for you.
“the song was great, but the performance was even better,” he’d say, coming off a bit sarcastic. but he means well!
you start to get a bit self-conscious and shy as you put yourself together again.
he’ll try to comfort you, standing up to wrap you in a hug.
“don’t be embarrassed!” (cue soft chan),
“baby that was awesome”,
“you should join a rock band!”, etc.
overall, he’d love it when you share your music taste, and this event will probably set off a chain reaction of similar jam sessions in the future.
Tumblr media
minho:
ok so we all know minho’s a cat person, blah blah blah...
but what if you got super excited about a really cute dog?
let’s say you’re on a walk at a park, holding hands, and talking.
all of a sudden you see someone walking their dog…
and when i tell you this is the cutest, tiniest dog on the face of the earth,,,
you immediately stop walking and squeeze minho’s hand. you point to the dog and start freaking out because it’s so cute.
he’d say something silly like, “what are you talking about? it looks like a rat.”
you disregard it because you’re just so excited about this puppy!
“can we pet it?” you ask.
“... fine” he replies, smiling at you, despite his attempts to act uninterested.
y’all go over to the woman walking her dog and ask if you can pet the puppy. when she says you can pet him, you immediately sit on the ground, ready to have the best puppy playdate of your life.
minho’s still standing, watching you with loving eyes.
of course, you start talking to the puppy as if he’s a baby. minho laughs, trying to stifle all the uwus emanating from his heart
the puppy climbs onto your lap and licks your face just a little bit.
you look up at minho with wide eyes, saying “awww, isn’t he so cute!”
he’d playfully roll his eyes because why would he cheat on cats like that…
then you tug on his hand, motioning for him to sit with you. he does, reluctantly.
you place the puppy on his lap to see what happens.
the dog loves him! (of course, because what living thing wouldn’t love lee minho?)
the puppy is licking minho all over as he makes faces of disgust and struggles to pull him away.
you laugh out loud, happier than ever at the two very good boys in front of you.
he smiles again, completely endeared with your excitement despite being covered in puppy spit...
so, it doesn’t matter what kinds of animals you two prefer, since you’re the cutest thing he’s ever seen. (aww)
Tumblr media
changbin:
i feel like changbin is the type to not be ashamed of/shy about showing you the songs he’s writing.
...except for right now.
he just got home from the studio, dropping his bag onto a table… but some papers fall out.
you attempt to grab the papers, but changbin stops you and grabs them himself instead with a subtle hint of nervousness.
pretty suspicious if you ask me.
“what’s up?” you ask, a bit confused about what just happened.
he’d try to play it off like nothing suspicious was going on, but you know his poker face.
it’s too cute not to notice.
he likes to play all tough but you (and everyone else tbh) know him better than that.
you go to grab the papers, but he steps away. you try again… and again, and again, and again.
you become increasingly more frustrated and impatient with each attempt, until changbin holds them up high in the air where you can’t reach them. he has a look on his face that says ‘haha! gotcha!’
you’ve never done this much jumping in your life.
but you’re not a quitter.
“okay… i give up,” you say, returning to a stationary position and placing your arms around his neck.
however, just as he lowers his hands to your waist, you snatch the papers!
“AHA!” you exclaim.
all he can say is “damn it!” as you scramble to the couch with the papers in your hand. you sit facing away from him, attempting to speed-read the lyrics sprawled across the pages.
he follows you to the couch, trying to take the papers back from behind.
“binnie, these are so good!!”
“thanks… but were they worth betraying your innocent boyfriend?”
“yes. every word.” you finally hand him back the papers with a smirk.
he’d curse under his breath, ditching the papers in favor of tickling you instead.
what a terrible punishment!
Tumblr media
hyunjin:
we all know hyunjin is a drama queen,,
you can be a bit of a dramatic person yourself (who isn’t?).
so when you lose your favorite sweater, you’re immediately going on a wild goose chase around the dorms, because that’s where you had it last.
you’re practically talking to yourself. double checking everywhere you’d been. retracing your steps like a mad person.
you need this sweater!!
you let out a little “urgh!” as you begin getting frustrated.
hyunjin would ask what’s wrong, and when you tell him, he’d GASP.
he’d be like:
“have you checked under the bed?”
“the couch?”
“what about over here?”
“over there?”
this boy will not REST until the sweater is back in your possession, wasting no time in matching your level of concern/dramatics...
… if not exceeding it.
y’all have practically torn the whole room apart at this point.
until finally, you find it in a random drawer (of course smh)
“I FOUND IT!” you’d exclaim, flopping onto the bed and putting the sweater on,
to which you’d receive a “YAY!” in return
tired and leaning against a wall, he’d say something like, “thank GOD! now, why do you need it so bad?”
and you’d simply and softly respond, “... i got chilly~”
he wouldn’t give a verbal response, but his face would go from relaxed to ‘bruh’.
you knew he’d be shocked at your statement, but you choose to tease him instead with a smile.
he would then opt to tackle you in the bed, fumbling with the covers and vowing to make you as warm as humanly possible.
Tumblr media
jisung:
jisung definitely loves showing you the music he’s been working on, just like changbin.
except… this time, the lyrics aren’t necessarily what you’re used to hearing.
you can tell jisung’s a bit nervous as he presses play, choosing to keep his eyes on the floor as he nods his head to the rap.
you’re listening intently, as curious and excited as you are every other time…
but then you realize that it’s about you……
the lyrics talk about letting someone into his life and his longing to be even closer to that person than he is now.
therefore,,,,   u w u
you giggle, which prompts him to look up at you almost immediately with anticipation about your reaction.
you decide to wait until the end of the song to react, but you can already feel the excitement bubbling up inside of you.
the song ends, and you’re sitting in silence alongside jisung. “so… what did you think?”
“well… i think…” you trail off, looking into jisung’s eyes.
with a bit of a squeal you leap up from your seat and essentially attack him.
you straddle his legs (don’t get any *ideas* this is FLUFF for goodness sake) and wrap your arms around his neck, locking him into a big hug.
“i love it, baby. so, so, so, much,” you respond quickly and genuinely.
he laughs, his arms wrapping around you.
he’d probably remark, “you scared me for a second!”
you laugh in response, apologizing for your delayed reaction.
deep down, he’d feel so relieved that you liked the song and its sentiment.
he’d also be so happy to have you, his overexcited sweetheart, in his arms.
however, at the surface, he’d prefer to tease you. “next time, don’t make me wait so long!”
Tumblr media
felix:
ok so y’all send memes and tik toks back and forth all day every day. it’s just protocal.
also,,, you could literally be in the same room, and he’d still just start sending you tik toks he’d saved just to send to you and see your reaction.
but there’s this   o n e
you can’t quite explain why but when you watch the tik tok that your boyfriend sent you from across the couch, you laugh harder than you’ve ever laughed before.
whatever humor you may have, this tik tok completely encompasses it in a beautiful, stupid way.
before you know it, you begin cackling.
felix knows that you’ve always been a bit embarrassed of your laugh (who isn’t, right?), so when you start letting loose he’s a bit caught off guard.
still, he joins in (at a smaller scale, of couse).
he always wants to see you happy, but this is a whole new level of cuteness in his eyes.
your laughter subsides a bit...
until you decide to watch the tik tok again.
believe it or not, it’s even funnier the second time!
you double over, laughing so hard that no sound is even coming out of your mouth.
“are you okay?!” he’d ask, laughing harder now at your actions.
he’d put his arms around you so he could hold you up.
you’d mouth out a “no” in response.
there are practically tears forming at the corners of your eyes.
he’d continue looking down at you with a beaming smile, holding you up until your laughter comes to a full stop.
“was it really that funny? i can’t even make you laugh like this.”
you’re almost dazed, your stomach hurting (in the best way possible). you try to steady your breathing.
after a few seconds of recovery, he’d whisper in your ear with a deep, silly voice...
“...wanna watch it again?”
it’s safe to say you won’t fully recover for a while.
Tumblr media
seungmin:
on days off, you watch dramas with seungmin to take both of your minds off of work/school/whatever’s been keeping you busy.
however… of course you can’t go a whole episode without laughing hysterically, and it’s all because of seungmin.
it could be the most dramatic, intense, or heartbreaking scene in the show but he would make it into a full blown impersonation comedy routine.
ESPECIALLY if the drama is in a foreign language.
this boy will reinact all of the subs in the stupidest way possible.
but, today he’s a bit exhausted, snuggling up against you and not saying much.
our boys work too hard :((   (but wbk)
...so you decide to take his place.
you start off kind of hesitantly, waiting to see if he’d even react. when the main characters start to have an argument, you begin reading the subtitles in a silly voice.
you hear a soft giggle from your boyfriend has be tightens his arm’s grip around your waist.
you begin to use different voices for each of the two characters, alternating between a nasly, high pitched one and a lower one with voice cracks. this makes seungmin laugh harder, going from a giggle to his usual open-mouthed chuckle.
he’s so cute >_< ,,anyways…
as the scene intensifies, so does the volume of your impersonations.
“yOu’Ve bEtRaYeD mE!”
“BuT yOu LiEd tO mE!”
at this point seungmin is cackling despite his heavy eyes and unwillingness to move. he’d be so caught up in your routine that he’d forget he was even tired.
you look up at him to see that big smile and those sparkly eyes you love so much, which motivates you to be even goofier!
you sit up, leaving seungmin’s grasp. you begin making hand gestures to match your overdramatic tone.
the scene comes to a climax, in which you recite the final line with more ferver and fake passion than ever before. you finish it off with a fist in the air for ~emphasis~.
as you hold this pose, you hear your loyal audience member begin to cheer for you. he claps, whisper-shouting “ahh” to create fake crowd noises.
“what a show!” he would commend you with an expression of sarcastic awe on his face.
you’re really glad you decided to cheer him up…
but not nearly as glad as he is to have you with him on a day like this.
Tumblr media
jeongin:
jeongin’s smile could literally melt anyone’s heart. everybody knows this.
i don’t care who you are, if you see jeongin smile, you either smile or cry and there are no other options.
i don’t make the rules.
so, when he shows you the ‘lovestay’ version of his latest dance practice, you’re bound to go insane with adoration.
as soon as his solo comes up and the camera zooms in on his sweet, smiling face, you give his cheek a little poke
you say, “that’s you!”
“shut up,” he’d respond, giggling.
“wait, i missed something,” you say with a sense of urgency. you take the phone from his hands, rewinding a few seconds.
he’d roll his eyes at you, getting a bit shy.
you resume the video until the boy in the video holds up a finger heart, at which point you press pause.
“look how cute!” you exclaim, looking up at jeongin and pointing back and forth between him and the screen.
“stop it!” he’s blushing (and you’re screaming internally at how cute he is) as he tries to refrain from making a big smile.
you poke his side, resulting in a small fit of laughter that forces his bright grin to peek out.
he swats your hand away, putting his arm around you
(partly to show his affection and partly to make you hold still)
you place your head onto his shoulder, resuming the video for the final time. “you’re too cute. i can’t help it.”
“but you’re the cutest...” he murmurs, almost inaudibly to someone who isn’t as close to him as you are now.
heat rises in your face.
you: “...stop…”
him: “hah!”
touché...

Do you welcome Your Turn to Die asks?
If so, how about YTTD boys react to Reader dieing? You can make that death as bad as you want (slow, instant, etc)
Why? Cus some agnst is good, hehe
Oh always!!
.........
Humans
Joe
“N-No, c’mon [y/n]..you can’t just give up now! After we just got here!”
It’s unfortunate how a hardly-noticeable trap spelled the end of you--before you even got to the Main Game Miley was blabbering on and on about.
Joe isn’t sure whether to get help or not, so he stays with you, trying his best to figure out a way to stop your bleeding.
But it’s no use.
He beats himself up for being useless--for failing to protect you--but you take his hand and reassure him it’s alright.
“Just look out for Sara...sh-she needs you now more than ever..okay?"
Gin
At first..he couldn’t comprehend you dying.
Thankfully it wasn’t a bloody and painful death, but you were still suffering despite your attempts to cling to life.
He approaches you, already crying as he apologizes for not protecting you. But you reassure him he did his best, and you already felt better because he was by your side now.
He promises to become stronger and to escape with his newfound family...for your sake.
You weakly pet his head one final time, and as your hand becomes limp, Gin panics and tries keeping it on his head, shakily asking you to continue.
You never do.
Sou
He never should’ve let you get so close to him.
Not because of you potentially betraying him, but because he didn’t want to grow so attached to someone he could lose at any time.
But when it’s your turn to die (lol), he panics and deactivates your collar, begging you to run and save yourself. 
Instead you stay in place, refusing to abandon him, and your stubbornness frustrates him.
“S-So that’s it?! You’re just gonna give up and die here?!” He shouts with tears in his eyes.
You reassure him it’s okay. You’ll only suffer a worse death for breaking the rules, and you tell him not to hold onto anger at the others for their votes.
He couldn’t look away from your execution, and that bitterness remained in his heart for a long while.
Kai
He tried not to let your death shake him.
But it was clear he was very broken up over it..despite how calm he seemed on the surface.
Only Sara caught a glimpse of him shedding tears as he knelt by your body--bloody and ruined from the execution.
This was all the more reason to backstab Asunaro. He didn’t want this...he didn’t want any of this.
Could you have been saved? Could trading cards with you have changed your fate?
He didn’t know the answer but..one way or another you’ll be avenged.
‘Damn this organization’
Keiji
You just needed help with one last attraction. That's all you asked for.
It was Quick Draw--and when a gun had to be drawn, Keiji froze in panic, unwilling to shoot.
Unfortunately that brief moment of hesitance was long enough to allow the monster to strike.
He shouted at you to run while he fought back against it, somehow killing it and clearing the attraction.
“I-I did it..hah..that was a close one. Alright now where’s....?” 
But as he turns around, he sees you on the ground--your motionless body impaled by a sword.
He’s utterly devastated, feeling like he’s to blame for not protecting you like he promised--even though he only expected people around him to die.
And by the time he makes it back to the lobby, he already collapsed from his wounds and the grief.
Alice
In the Room of Lies, Alice was panic-striken about where his real sister was. But when Ranger presented her head to him, you could tell that couldn’t actually be Reko. 
There was no blood. It had to be another one of the lies.
Yet the ex-prisoner took the bait...a decision that would’ve cost him his life had you not grabbed the head as it detonated.
Your hands became bloody stumps, and your stomach had a gaping hole in it.
Yet you refused to focus on the pain, only smiling as you saw the real Reko emerge.
Your final wishes were that they reconciled and survived the game together, before you finally succumbed to your wounds.
Alice is heartbroken and conflicted about why you’d sacrifice yourself for a murderer like him..but he’s gonna carry on your wish no matter what.
Q-Taro
You find Q-Taro trying to use the vending machine, and he explains the supposed “escape” it would grant him.
But it was odd he never mentioned this to anyone. So you can’t believe him when he said he’ll get outside help.
Ranger soon informs you two of the consequences of him leaving alone: the death of everyone else.
You beg the baseball player to reconsider---only to be horrified at his remorseful expression as he puts the final token into the machine.
Then your collar beeps rapidly, sending you collapsing to the ground as a poison within it slowly kills you.
Q-Taro has immediate regret, especially as the confused and panicked screams of the other participants reach his ears. 
But he can only mumble apologies as he rushes through the door...and you laid dying, feeling betrayed.
Mishima
No..how could this happen to one of his beloved students/acquaintances??
In the test run of the voting system, he didn’t think there would be any lethal consequences for whoever had the most votes.
He was among the people who voted for you after you pleaded with him to do so. And only moments later did he watch the collar burn your head right off your body
Was he a killer? Just because he respected your wish?
No, he couldn’t be. It was that foolish doll’s fault for not saying anything.
He’s gonna be shaken up for a while, but he has to be strong--for his students and the other young ones who just witnessed something so brutal and traumatizing.
Dolls
Rio Ranger
You failed an attraction, the monsters overwhelming you and your partner. While they already died, you lived long enough to see Ranger enter to take an item from them.
But he sees you and shows a frowny card. “Wow you bastards died to the easiest attraction?! That’s pathetic!”
Even as he scorns you, he seemed to be upset. Despite all his jests, you were kind to him no matter what, and that kindness made you more..."tolerable" than the others.
He didn’t know why he felt so damn guilty, especially when you offer your bracelet/necklace.
“N-No..you can’t just give me that! You’re stupid for thinking you could befriend us dolls to the end!”
“I may be stupid, but..at least I tried..” You smile as your dying breath creeps out, while Ranger stands there in distraught, before taking what you offered him and quietly leaving.
Hayasaka
When the book Obstructors cornered him after the group failed to ward them off, you made either an incredibly brave or incredibly stupid decision:
Shoving him out of harm’s way and letting them attack you.
The pain of their sharp teeth tearing into your flesh was agonizing as you hit them with all your strength--until you had no more.
Hayasaka couldn’t believe you’d sacrifice yourself for him....he was a doll! He could’ve withstood it! 
You weren’t even his partner. So why did you....?
He probably would never understand, but he was alive thanks to you....and he won’t forget that.

Steve Rogers
NSFW Alphabet 
Tumblr media
(Not my gif. Also pretend this is Steve lol)
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Steve is very sweet and gentle after it’s done. Steve would run a bath or a shower, he would grab a wash cloth and wipe you clean. He would carry back to bed. But if you’re too tired to get up, he would just grab a washcloth and clean you. 
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Steve loves all of you, but if he had to choose a part it would be your hands. He loves when your hands are all over him, he loves when you leave scratches down his back. He loves when you grab his cock and stick it in yourself. 
Your favorite part of Steve would be his arms. He could pick you up and hold you anywhere. 
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
He loves putting his load inside your pussy. He loves to watch it leak out. 
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
He wants to have a threesome with either Bucky or Sam. He wants to watch someone else fuck you. But at the same time he hates sharing. 
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
Steve’s not very experienced. If he waits for the right person to dance with, then he is going to wait for the right person to make love too. He doesn’t care if you had sex before, he thinks you can show him the ropes. And if you both never had sex then you can learn together. 
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Missionary and Cowgirl. He loves watching your face get high with pleasure and he loves watching your tits bounce. 
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
Sex is very serious to him. He’s main priority is to have you come or to tease him (when your in control). Although if he’s drunk from Thor’s mead, he’ll tell everyone how good you are at sex. He tells them that you’re loud and will  thank Tony for the soundproof walls. 
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Steve’s pubic hair is the same color as he’s beard. Which is darker then his natural hair color. He doesn't care if you have hair hell eat you either way. 
 I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect
Steve’s favorite thing is to kiss you when you both come. He may be rough at times but he loves to do that. He wants to hold your hand while fucking you into oblivion.  
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
He doesn’t like to masturbate, he rather cum on you or in you. He tries to hold himself together when you are on long missions but he can’t, so you punish him. 
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
He loves when you call him Captain. He wants you to call him Daddy if you’re up to it. He loves when you wear his shirts. He loves when you put people in place. He  loves to spank you. He loves when you spank him. You both love to choke each other. 
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
He loves to do it in your shared room. No interruptions. He loves to fuck you in your office and his. 
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
He loves when you tell him what to do. He loves when you don’t listen. He loves when you put others in place. 
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
He never wants to hurt you, he doesn't like to hit you with anything other than his hands on your ass. He doesn't like to tie you up, but if you want it he would. 
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.
He rather give you head then get it. The serum takes him forever to cum so he rather give you head. But if you’re being bad… he'll make you suck his dick. 
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
His pace depends on his mood and yours. If he’s jealous then it’s hard. 
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
He hates to have quickies. He wants to take his time with his best girl and go all night but if he’s going on a mission he will go as fast as he pleases. 
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Steve made a list of things that he wants to try with you. 
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
He lasts for hours. After he already cums he’s still hard, so he continues on fucking you. 
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
He likes to put cuffs on you. Hell use a vibrator to keep fucking you. He wants you to beg him to stop.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Steve doesn't like to tease that much, he does it when he's mad at you, or if someone was flirting with you. But you love to tease him.
   V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Steve is loud. He loves to say “fuck baby you make me feel so good” and “oh God” in your ear. He grunts. Says “shit” a lot. - Let’s just say Steve may not like that kind of language out there but behind closed doors. He has the mouth of a sailor
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
He loves letting you have control. He wishes you can have it all the time, but he knows how cruel you can be. He can’t control you outside of the bedroom but he can control you inside of the bedroom.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Steve is very thick. When you first saw it he said “It’s not that big? Is it?” “Um.. yes Steve it’s huge!”  
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
If it was up to Steve, you both will never leave the bed. He would make love and fuck you all day long. But Missions, briefings and paperwork always take your guys' time. 
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Steve never falls asleep first. He waits for you to fall asleep, to make sure you’re okay. Sometimes he draws you. 
------- **-------**-------**------**-----
Hey guy's it's Athena who should I do next?? I was think Dean Winchester but I kind of want to do a female. But who??

Fencer’s Big Eva Review
Just got done watching the Eva finale, so it’s time to get out thoughts while they’re fresh! Caveat: Eva is difficult to understand for native speakers, and I’m definitely not a native speaker XD I feel like I got maybe half, and got the rough gist of like 10% of the rest, and the remaining was just no friggin’ clue. Would’ve gone better if there’d at least been JP subs, but you’ll have to deal with what I’ve got for now!
It should be obvious, but there’ll be HELLA MAJOR SPOILERS for the final Evangelion movie. Ready? Let’s go.
The movie very helpfully starts off with a ~2 min recap of the movies thus far. This was great because I didn’t have time to rewatch the previous three before going, and while I’ve seen them a few times, it took me a second the recall what had happened at the very end of Q, so I was glad to get a very brief recap.
The actual movie itself opens on...Paris! Or Paris post-Near-Third-Impact (Third Impact?), which is a red and black wasteland. It seems that Wille has been developing these things that look like Entry Plugs that they shove into the ground and restore everything to pre-all-impacts (so like, blue water and everything); couldn’t get HOW it managed that, but they had them and were attempting to restore Paris.
Would have been a walk in the park except for weird Eva-Angel-Machine hybrids that were trying to prevent them from activating the plugs. Lots of fighting happens, with Mari piloting her Eva to give them cover while the Wille staff set everything up. Eventually they manage it, and Euro Nerv is restored.
Then we switch over to right where Q left off: Asuka, Clone!Rei, and a catatonic Shinji wandering around trying to go who knows where. They eventually get picked up by...Touji! Yes, an older Touji now who lives in a commune of survivors, scraping out a semblance of a life in one of the areas protected by the aforementioned plugs (they had another name but I couldn’t get it).
In this community, Touji is the local doctor--and he’s married with a kid! He married Hikari, and they have an infant daughter named Tsubame. 
Now, let’s check in how our main three do when introduced to this relatively normal life they get to enjoy for a few weeks:
Asuka: Still in ‘fight mode’, ready to go at a moment’s notice. How she thinks she’s gonna fight when she has no Eva idk, but for this entire little bit, she’s either naked or in her plugsuit. She stays with Aida Kensuke, who’s kind of the handyman, and is generally just rude af.
Shinji: For 90% of this bit, he’s totally shut off. He’s incredibly fucked up from having JUST watched Kaworu die, essentially because of him, and Asuka has on a DSS choker, and every time he sees it, he collapses and begins vomiting violently. He stays with the Suzuharas at first but is quickly sent to stay with Asuka and Kensuke because they don’t really know how to deal with him. Kensuke manages to get him to open up a little bit, but eventually it’s Rei who gets him started on the path back to being himself. At one point he runs away and ‘lives’ alone for a while in what I think was either the building where he first met Kaworu playing the piano or one that looked a lot like it. He goes out to do odd jobs with Kensuke a lot, and on one occasion he’s taken to an ‘outdoor lab’ where some workers are experimenting with new gardening techniques. It’s here he’s meets...Kaji Ryouji. No, not that Kaji Ryouji. That Kaji DIED. This is the son he had with Misato (named after him).
Rei: Now, let me say I’ve never been super interested in Rei. I didn’t dislike her, like I did Asuka, but I wasn’t really interested in her either. She was just there. Guys.....I LOVED REI IN THIS MOVIE. I would have watched 2.5 hours of the Rei Learns To Be A Human show and been happy for the $20 I paid. Rei spends her time in the commune learning to be an individual. She stays with the Suzuharas and learns what different words mean, like “Good morning” and “Good night” and “Thank you” and “Goodbye”, she gets super close with a bunch of old ladies who essentially adopt her and teach her how to plant turnips and what a bath is, and she becomes her own person. When she first arrives, the Suzuharas think she’s “Ayanami Rei”, but she explains that she isn’t, so they call her “Sokkuri-san” instead (”Miss Spitting Image” essentially), and the old ladies find it amusing at first but then encourage her to choose her own name, and when she can’t think of one, they tell her to have someone choose one for her, so she asks the Uber-Depressed Shinji to choose one. These interactions are what eventually pull him back to himself, but ultimately he’s unable to come up with one, because “Ayanami is Ayanami”. She thanks him for trying anyway, returns his SD player to him..............................and then dissolves into a pile of LCL fluid, as apparently all clones eventually return to LCL. Fantastic, because Shinji didn’t need EVEN MORE TRAUMA.
Somehow, the above doesn’t break Shinji, and he resolves to go back to Wille and face his father I guess?? I’m not entirely clear on why (gotta go read some reports of my own I guess lol). Back on the ship with Misato et al., Shinji isn’t forced to wear a choker but he’s put in a cell with like explosives in it I guess. He starts having visions of Kaworu helping him accept things.
At this point it’s getting close to the climax, and Wille are going after Nerv/Gendo once and for all. During the final fight, Asuka tried to take out Unit 13′s core, and then she’s not managing it, she rips off her eyepatch, and we see that the patch was keeping the 9th angel bound within her eye, so she decides to throw away her humanity and let it take over to destroy Unit 13. Unfortunately, she’s killed in the end--how? She’s approached by a vision of her ‘original’. Yup, Asuka was a clone herself, like Rei, and she turns back into LCL and she and unit 02 are absorbed by Unit 13.
Eventually the fight comes down to Shinji vs. Gendo, who has thrown away his own humanity and bonded with Unit 13 in the hopes of completing the Human Instrumentality Project. He and Shinji go head to head as Shinji summons (???) Unit 01 from inside Unit 13, and there’s a really REALLY WEIRD final fight between the two that involves some weird animation choices. Lots of storyboards and overly CGI’d CGI, and some bits that seem to take them through the different incarnations of the Eva series.
We also get Gendo backstory by the boatload as he and Shinji have an actual goddamn conversation for once. Mari features prominently in Gendo’s flashbacks so she was definitely one of his classmates it seems, who introduced him to Fuyutsuki. I’m still not entirely clear on who she is/was.
However, through this conversation, Shinji gives the people he’s interacted with most closely/been closest with closure I guess? Gendo, Asuka...Kaworu.
So about Kaworu. Their conversation was VERY VERY WEIRD; it’s made clear that Shinji is also now aware of all the different iterations of their meeting. When they talk, it’s set at the beach where they first met in the TV series, and Shinji says he remembers all the times they’ve met before. Shinji mentions that Kaworu reminds him a lot of his father, and then there are some very strange flashbacks (????) of Kaworu’s that I feel like imply he’s to Gendo as Rei is to Yui. At one point, he’s seen talking to Fuyutsuki, trying to decide on a name for himself and settling on ‘Nagisa’ as it means ‘beach’, where the ocean meets the land. Fuyutsuki later addresses Kaworu, who’s sitting in Gendo’s desk, as “Commander Nagisa”. Kaworu reflects to Shinji that he failed so many times to make Shinji happy, but he’s realized now that that’s because he doesn’t know what would make Shinji happy and it was arrogant to think he knew better. He was looking for his own happiness all along.
In the end, after all these goodbyes, Shinji is left with the decision of what to do with, well, reality. He decides, in a conversation with Rei, that he’ll reset everything--create a ‘neon genesis’--to a world without Eva or Angels.
Our last shot is an older Shinji meeting his (presumed??) girlfriend Mari on a train platform. On the opposite platform waiting for their own train are Kaworu, Asuka, and Rei. Shinji and Mari hold hands and run, laughing, from the train station.
NEON GENESIS EVANGELION GOT A HAPPY ENDING. 2021 REALLY BE OUT HERE WILDING.
My final thoughts:
Okay I’ll say it: the fuck with Shinji/Mari endgame? Believe me, it was completely out of left field even in this movie. They just happened to be the only final survivors. Mari flirted a hell of a lot more with ASUKA and was distraught at her death than she did with Shinji. They were a kind of cute couple in the end, but very ????? 
I’m disappointed Shinji wasn’t the one to give Kaworu his happiness in the end, after Kaworu spent so long and so many lives and realities trying to make him happy and failing. I’m choosing to believe, since these multiple realities/resets are canon now, that he did it in one of them. They all deserve the happiness of their choosing, not just Shinji’s, and Kaworu showed us time and time again that his happiness definitively involves being with Shinji.
I’m sure I missed a lot, because yanno, Eva, and it was long enough as is, but gosh I wish I could’ve understood more of everything that was going on, cause there was SO MUCH WEIRD SHIT.
If I watch this movie again, I will 500% just be watching those “Rei learns to be human with the help of a bunch of old cackling biddies” bits :> Those were THE BEST PARTS OF THE MOVIE.

Jay’s GPose/Studio Guide
I get asked for this pretty frequently - be it friends and FC mates or randos here.  So here’s a Super Generic Guide for GPose, GShade, and Studios.  This will be a long, image-heavy post.  Venture forward at your own risk!! -- or just, y’know, click Keep Reading below.
Tumblr media
First off, I’m not a professional at this.  There are plenty of people who do screenshoting better than I do.  I just think it’s fun and neat.  I have a super brief history/introductory to photography (thanks, art school), so what I know is super basic.  Still, that knowledge can be applied in-game, too.  So lets take a crack at this.
The Studio(s)
My studio is my apartment.  You can find it on Mateus in The Mist; Ward 13, Apartment 41.  I have three set-ups: multi-purpose black background (no lights), multi-purpose white background (optional lights), and a portrait background (optional lights). The apartment is set to 0 Lighting.  Why?  Because this allows me to control the individual lights and adjustments in GPose itself.  Those bright-white background shots are done in this room.  It’s just a simple matter of knowing your lighting (and GShade presets).  We’ll get to that.
The layout:
All three set-ups are here and positioned in such a way to not interfere/bother each other.  Unless you’re intentionally turning your camera in that direction, you should never see the other set-ups.  If you need to turn your camera, consider just ... turning your character.
Tumblr media
An example of the Black Background with generic left, center, and right Lighting settings:
Tumblr media
Same background, close up, and lights adjusted:
Tumblr media
Below is the Multi-Purpose White background with dragon lamps for extra, albeit minimal lighting effects.  This is without any Lighting Settings turned on.
Tumblr media
Same picture, but with all Lighting Settings turned on and adjusted:
Tumblr media
Now let’s slap a GShade preset on it and change the camera angle.  Voila.  
Tumblr media
GShade Presets & You
GShade is a variant of ReShade, much like Stormshade and other post-processing injectors.*  I originally used Stormshade, but moved on to GShade as they constantly update their presets/shaders and the software is easy to install.  And they have loads more presets readily available.
Presets and shaders can be really taxing on your system, so I highly recommend keeping certain shaders to a minimum for gameplay purposes.  For screenshots, go ham -- just make sure your system can handle it.  
For example, I only use Colourfulness.fx and Vibrance.fx for regular gameplay.  This boosts the color quality of the game and removes that dull, muted tone.
For screenshots, I will turn on a variety of shaders or pick one of the many, many presets made by the community.  (I’m a big fan of Espresso Glow and use it pretty frequently.)
Here is a standard picture with Colourfulness and Vibrance turned on.
Tumblr media
And here it is without any shaders:
Tumblr media
You can find GShade here: https://gposers.com/gshade/
* “Is ReShade/GShade allowed by SE?” Post-processing injectors are NOT considered cheating “software”.  It does NOT give you any advantage over the game none whatsoever.  It simply enhances your graphics.  That’s it.  However, as with all software, install and use at your discretion.  (Also you’re not likely to get picked for any SE screenshot contests due to advantage/unfairness to PS4 users.)
Setting the MOOD
So now that you have a rough idea of what to do and use for your options, here’s some example screenshots taken with and without presets.
Without Espresso Glow - Pastel Cool: (Using the Black Portrait set-up.)
Tumblr media
With Espresso Glow - Pastel Cool:
Tumblr media
Same emote, same expression, same lighting settings, same preset, closer view and different camera/eye angle:
Tumblr media
Now using the Multi-purpose White Background set-up, without Pastel Cool:
Tumblr media
With Pastel Cool:
Tumblr media
Don’t like studios?  Get creative with the landscape.  There’s plenty of beautiful places to visit over Eorzea to get the perfect background.  Sometimes a lovely landscape can make all the difference in what you want in a screenshot.  Crop, rotate, and adjust for size and angle -- do whatever looks best to you.
Without ArkanaSun:
Tumblr media
With ArkanaSun:
Tumblr media
Some Q & A (AKA Stuff That People Ask)
Q: What about Mods? A: I like mods, I obviously use them.  However, I won’t go into detail for those.  It’s like opening a can of worms and the last thing I need is to hear: “Well, Jay said to install them!” -- I never did.  I will never tell you to use mods.  Mods can break your game and SE doesn’t support them to begin with.  I’ve had mods brick my game on three occasions now.  It’s very at-your-own-risk.  And just like ACT, you don’t talk about it/them openly, especially in game.
Q: Do you use the CMTool/Screenshot tool? A: I don’t.  Truth be told, I haven’t bothered because I don’t have much time to learn and fiddle with it regularly. Just like how I don’t do my own mods, I simply don’t have the time, much less willpower to commit.  I try to make work with what I got.  Or draw.  Lol.
Q: My screenshots aren’t saving the image as it appears! A: Never use the Print Screen button.  ReShade/GShade has a setting for taking screenshots.  Set a keybinding (not Print Screen!) for it and use that.  Alternatively, use programs like Fraps or whatever.  (I use Fraps because it’s useful for all games and brief recording purposes.)
Tumblr media
Q: Do you use post-editing software? A: Yes, I have access to Photoshop.  I can crop, rotate, and color-adjust any picture I need to.  You can do the same with Windows Photos, but the rotation and crop can be a little dense.
Q: Can I use/visit your Studio? A: Absolutely.  There’s just two simple rules: - Be patient if someone else is there. - Don’t be a dick and harass others. If I find someone being an absolute ass, I will lock it down.

Here’s an interview with Billie in 2005 with Sports Illustrated. I remember reading this back then and being super surprised at what a jock he is lol. All I could find while trying to google for this was this bonus interview I guess? So there’s that too.
Q&A: Billie Joe Armstrong
Posted: Thursday September 8, 2005 1:13PM; Updated: Thursday September 8, 2005 2:31PM
Billie Joe Armstrong of Green Day (http://www.greenday.com/) for the magazine's weekly Q&A. The band is part of the NFL's Kickoff Weekend. Here are additional excerpts from the interview.
SI: On a level of 1 to 10, what level of sports fan are you?
Armstrong: I still follow football and the Raiders a little bit. Probably a 6.5. Maybe I shouldn't say I'm a Raider fan going into the Pats game.
SI: Do you know you share a birthday with some of the most famous athletes of all time?
Armstrong: Let me think. Who could it be? Joe DiMaggio?
SI:Jim Brown and Michael Jordan were both born on Feb. 17. You think Jordan knows he shares a birthday with Billie Joe Armstrong?
Armstrong: That's awesome, but God forbid Jordan knows he shares a birthday with me.
SI: You, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool were at a restaurant in Park Square watching the Sox sweep the Cardinals. Describe the scene afterward?
Armstrong: It was one of the most surreal moments I've ever seen. Everyone that happy. We went outside of the bar and just watched people walk and parade down the street. People were floating. It was like they were levitating. If there was one moment that I could think of watching hordes of people in total harmony and bliss, it was watching the Red Sox fans after Boston swept the Series.
SI: Do you any similarities between your music and the outlaw image of the Raiders?
Armstrong: I would definitely say the Oakland Raiders are the punk rock band of football. I don't think there's an NFL player that honestly couldn't say I would look really good wearing silver and black. Even when Jerry Rice came over, he just looked good. There was a sense of pride about him. It was like, 'F*** yeah, I'm wearing the silver and black'.
SI: Growing up in Oakland, what did the A's and Raiders mean to your life?
Armstrong: My Dad would take me to see the A's play and I remember watching the last Super Bowl that Oakland was in before it went down to Los Angeles. The Raiders played the Eagles and I remember Kenny King scoring a long touchdown down the sideline. We grew up in the East Bay so there were 49ers fans and Raiders fans. All the tough guys in school wore Raiders hats. All the 49ers fans got beat up the Raiders fans when I was in high school.
SI: How did the band get involved with the NFL?
Armstrong: The first thing we ever did was Madden 2005. We had American Idiot on there. Then they asked us to do the Patriots game. Last year we were in Boston when the Red Sox won. The next night we played in Worcester, put on Red Sox hats and played We Are the Champions That was probably the smartest thing I've ever done.
SI: You likely gained some sports fans simply by being in the Madden game?
Armstrong: I think so, yeah. The way the culture goes. For a lot of kids and whoever, people will buy video games before they even buy a record. For some young people, their first experience ever hearing punk rock music was playing the Green Bay Packers on Madden.
SI: Is football the sport you most relate to?
Armstrong: Football is the one I played the most as a kid.
SI: Describe your brief football career at John Swett High School in Crockett, Calif.
Armstrong: I played my freshman year. Wide receiver and halfback. All the sophomores had the seniority on junior varsity and I ended up switching back and forth with this guy who was a sophomore. I was faster than him but because he was on he team before, he automatically had the job. They ended up putting me there during the running plays. The quarterback from the team is an old friend of mine. He actually gave me the jersey a year and a half ago.
SI: What was your football highlight?
Armstrong: I ended up scoring the only touchdown pass the last game of the season. The lowlight was the first kickoff of the season. I received it. All of a sudden these monsters were running after me. I remember running down the sideline and getting past all these guys. I was just running for the fear of God. All of a sudden I was on the opposing team's sideline and I got blasted. I looked up and it was the f------ kicker. That set the tone for the entire season. Me running out for passes and getting blasted by free safeties.
SI: Why did you quit?
Armstrong: I started getting into punk rock music. I started to hate the jocks. Blah. Blah. Blah. My brother David was a great athlete and I knew there was no way I could live up to that. I knew I could play guitar. I started getting into music and my grades got really bad.
SI: There's a quote from you where you said we are bombarding with useless information, whether its the Michael Jackson trial or Terry Schiavo. Do you think people are bombarded with useless information when it comes to athletics?
Armstrong: I think so. Sometimes I think the steriod use gets sort of out of hand. It's steroids, it sucks, guys injecting themselves. At the same time I feel the media blows it out of proportion too. And I think people then lose interest because they can't find anything honest in sport. For kids, instead of trying to keep it under raps to a certain degree, this is what they hear. That baseball players and NFL players are all f****** junkies. It just gets blasted out of proportion and the kids don't find any positive things going on. No wonder the Oakland A's can't pack the Coliseum.
SI: Is there one stadium that you enjoyed playing in because of the sports connection?
Armstrong: I took my kid to see his first baseball game at SBC Park and I went to see the Rolling Stones there and a couple of years later. Now here I am to do my own headline show. Amazing.
SI: What's your favorite thing about sports?
Armstrong: The thing I love about is that the athletes nowadays are such amazing physical specimens. The things that people do now in sports, you can't even believe. These are complete total athletes. To see what human beings can do in the highest level is amazing.
SI: What pisses you off about sports?
Armstrong: It's the way that athletes go from team to team all the time regardless if it's the money. I like the fact that you know Brett Favre will retire a Green Bay Packer. I like the fact that he's a franchise player. I think there's that sort of loyalty. You look at Favre and he has that loyalty to his team no matter what. The lack of loyalty, whether it comes from the owners or players, that's the part that bums you out.

201027 Sungyeol is Back Vlive with Sunggyu
He started the show with a military style greeting, and then continued with 'hello everyone, I'm Infinite's Sungyeol!'
He said that it was awkward for him to host the show alone, so he invited a special guest…Infinite's Sunggyu!
SG: *greets*
SY: whoaaa an idol an idol
He said that it was awkward when he was in the military, when he and his military fellows watched TV together and saw Sunggyu wishing the Infinite members who were in the military strength “I saw someone who I usually saw on a daily basis on TV! I didn't know what to feel. You knew how we feel and yet you said something like that jokingly”
SG: I really meant to give you strength though, not to tease you!
SG: How do you feel now
Sungyeol said he got discharged from military and society in general was awkward for him …he's still trying to get used to being a part of society (and not 'isolated' when he's in the military) He was doing whatever he was told and now after so long he can do whatever he wants
SG: Do you want me to order you around then? (afkljdsg;h)
Sungyeol said that he regretted that he didn’t follow Sunggyu when he enlisted. He thought that it would’ve been much better to go through the hardship with Sunggyu by his side
Sunggyu said he had recommended to all members to go enlist together but either Woohyun/Sungyeol said "Hyung, just go first~ we'll go later"
They argued a bit about the above and Sungyeol said, you want us to fight in front of the fans?
More bickering: They almost missed the vlive today coz Sungyeol was late to go to the hair salon, yeol is saying he ordered food and went to change and when he came back to the food he only found half of it…Sunggyu ate it and didn’t wait for him jaslkf;gs
Q: What is something you wanted to tell fans as soon as you get discharged?
SY: The fact that I cried..I found a side of me that I didn’t even know existed
Sungyeol said that he earned 7 minutes of phonecall after going through training for a month, and he called Sunggyu, his mom, CEO but no one picked up because it was an unknown number. He cried as he missed everyone so much. "I didn’t know that I was that much of a crybaby until then”
Sunggyu cried once, Woohyun cried a lot after enlisting too :(
Sunggyu’s finishing up the last performances of Kinky Boots and prepping for online concert.
They asked when is Halloween is then Sungyeol said Daeyeol asked him if it's ok for him to cosplay as Sungyeol for Halloween. Gyuyeol then said then Sungyeol can cosplay as Daeyeol for halloween, and sungyeol/'daeyeol' can 'join' golden child lmao
Q: 10 years ago after military you said you wanted to try trot, do you still have that thought now?
Sungyeol said he had that thought but the ceo turned it down. Sunggyu added that the ceo had his best interest in mind as trot may not be the best for his image. Sungyeol said he was ahead of his time because trot is the trend nowadays. Sunggyu agreed.
SY: if there's a chance I still wanna try (…….let him do what he wants please you haven’t learned your lesson yet ljy its been 10 yrs….)
Q: when did you miss your family the most?
SY: the moment I went in I missed everyone. not just my family.
SG: when did you miss/think of Sunggyu the most?
SY: The first day I was in the military!
He said pretty much every time Sunggyu did something, he thought 'did Sunggyu-hyung do this? did Sunggyu-hyung do that?'
Q: when in the military, when did you feel 'ah I’m part of Infinite'?
SY: basically said as soon as I entered. During the basic military training ceremony they even played Infinite songs, and everyone who saw me would do the naekkohaja gesture
Q: It would be good if you could do a solo fanmeet/album, when will that be?
SY: I would like that too, but I just finished military service (Sunggyu shot him saying that he could have started planning for this when he's still enlisted lmao and that he can do an online concert now)
Before enlisting Sungyeol said he'll try to be active on social media more frequently/longer, but he said he doesn’t know how to do it for a long time? Someone suggested in the comments to learn from Woohyun (yes please)
Sungyeol and Sungjong (or Woohyun? Not sure there are different translations for this part) lived in the same building. Sungyeol said Sungjong is so talkative these days, and he’s bored. He talked about how Sungjong suddenly came over to his place with coffee for him, ever since that day he's been going over to Sungyeol's place for meals almost everyday
Now that Sungyeol is discharged he was visiting his family and settling his own stuff. One day Sungjong asked him what he's doing, and that day Sungyeol happened to plan to visit his grandparents and sungjong went “OH REALLY? I WANNA GO TOO!”
Sungyeol thought, ok there's a familiar visitor his family would be glad to see him too. Turns out Sungjong was busily chatting nonstop during the entire 3 hour journey down (this is the cutest thing ever please)
Sungyeol is thankful that Sunggyu talked him out of enlisting in the navy
Q: did you count down to your discharge date?
SY: for these kind of things, time goes faster when you don’t keep thinking about it!
He also said that there were times even he doesn’t remember how many days he has left but when he searched his name you could see the "d-XXX" too
SG: Dongwoo’s discharge is on the 15th the same day as my online concert
SY: then we can do this together
SG: why me
SY: are you not Infinite?
SG: I am Infinite. I am Infinite’s leader!
SY: Then why don’t you want to do it
SG: Why are you making the decision alone!
gyuyeol just did a brief explanation/disclaimer that they may sound like they're quarrelling but it's basically just excited conversations because they haven’t hung out like this for a while 😊
SG: What does MBTI stand for?
SY: Mental Brain Tie/Tee Eye (lmaoo)
Sungyeol said he will do the test sometime.
*Sungyeol talking, Sunggyu reaches over to get food*
SY: excuse me I'm talking and you're eating??????
SG: Everyone we almost couldn’t make it for the live because Sungyeol was late! he left the shop at 6:30 and our live's at 7! He was eating too!
SY: I WAS NOT LATE that was my first meal! –
SY: and it’s been so long since I got to meet the fans so I wanted to do my hair nicely. And I didn’t even finish my food
Question about mint chocolate
Sungyeol doesn’t eat sweet stuff - chocolate/mint chocolate, cream etc. (for health reasons apparently)
Sungyeol talked about how well Sunggyu did in Kinky Boots
Q: to Sungyeol, musical <Return> is?
SY: a place where I can meet Sunggyu and it was an adventure for me and I met fans through it too
sg promoting <The Day> (his online concert) then said Sungyeol said he's gonna be present too so let's see whether he'll keep his promise
SY: of course. What shall we do when I’m there?
SG: ...let's have a meal?!?! (ok…lmao)
someone mentioned 'tell me 1st promise'
SY: do you remember?
SG: no. you're the one who said it
SY: ah was it the choochoo (train) one?
SG: you can do it (since you're the one who proposed it)
There was some chaos at this point with Sungyeol talking over him and Sunggyu said ‘ok Noisy’ kjlsgf;hgdkk
The following story was mentioned in the 10th anniversary live with Kim bros as well lmao he really won’t let this go:
There was a time when they went to a beach in Thailand and Sunggyu didn’t wanna go into the water because his condition was not good and he didn’t like water etc and Namu and Yeol went up and asked if he wanna go in but he said no. Namu left him alone but then Yeol went something like "LOL YEAH RIGHT" and threw Sunggyu into the water. And he lost his ring so he got really mad.
SG: I told you not to do it!
SY: You always say ‘no’…I thought you were lying and I was young and just wanted to do it
SG: Next time just listen to me
Q: What do you think about doing an exercising broadcast
SG: Yes, can you show your six pack…
SY: No, not to that extent
Q: what was the reason you became obsessed with working out?
SY: there wasn’t really a reason, simply because I did it regularly. e.g. regularly working out for a period of time then stopping, ~6 months later I was regularly working out again so I thought I might as well just make it a regular thing
SG: but what made you start?
*more bickering*
SY: it’s because you told me I have small shoulders
SY: Wow all we have done for an hour is fight
They talked about younger idols covering their songs and how amazed they were. They said thank you to everyone 💛
Q: Any fun incident from the military?
SG: The military is not fun as you guys think
SY: When I enlisted, the leader told the other soldiers not to pay attention to Sungyeol (As he is an idol and to not bother him) but that made him feel kind of lonely (aww)
Q: choose between going back to the military again or trainee days again?
SY: Wow. this is like asking to choose dad or mom
He chose trainee because he did his military really well so if he were to do it again he doesn’t know if he can do it as well as the first time. but he has lots of 'I could’ve done it better' moments during his trainee days so he'd rather do trainee period again and this time do it better
He said that when they were trainees, they were laying down on a rooftop watching the sky and saw fireworks. Apparently, there was Dream Concert happening nearby. He wondered if they would be able to perform at Dream Concert too someday (TT)
Q: Was there anything different about what you heard about the military and when you're actually there?
SY: the fact that I have to take care of myself more
Q: the thing you wanted to do the most in the military
SY said having a different exercise routine (bc you do the same thing everyday in military? idk)
sg: to Sungyeol, what is exercising?
SY: Something I have to do everyday
He said gyu turned him into a sinner on broadcast by saying that Sungyeol forced him to exercise (lmaooo)
Sungyeol's 'to-do' list:
- MBTI
- tell me 'choo-choo' win promise (YES FINALLY ITS BEEN 2.5 YRS)
- go on a trip
- do a dance from his musical audition
Sungyeol said when Sunggyu's enlistment had less than 100 days left, Sungyeol put some distance from Sunggyu because he was afraid if he was too close with gyu till he finished his military then he'd feel lonely when gyu discharged.
Then Sunggyu said "oh you're weaker than I expected"
 SY to SG: I wasn’t like you who had the thought of ‘when else will I be able to eat this much?’ In the military, I always kept in mind to manage myself, how to look even better when I get discharged
SG: but.. you ate chicken with mee?? (haha cuute)
SG: *reads out a question about Yeol performing as Freddie Mercury*
SY: *drinking water* *chokes* Someone took a video of that???
SG: Sungyeol prepared so hard for that performance when he doesn’t prepare that hard for our concerts..
Sungyeol wanted to do the men's health magazine photoshoot too he's sad he wasn't given that opportunity. (you can do it now…do everything now while Sunggyu has power)
Comment about how good he looks in his military uniform, and Sungyeol said, yes I know
Q: When do you miss the members most
SY: I saw Sunggyu and Woohyun quite a bit…the thing I miss most is the end of year fanmeeting and doing the New Year countdown together
They showed the cake that said ‘Let’s protect Inspirits now instead of the country’ and Sunggyu said to cheer for Sungyeol a lot
💛💛💛

Have you ever been in weather below 0 Fahrenheit (-17 Celsius)? Nah. The coldest I’ve experienced was probably something like 10 or 11ºC, when I was in Japan. At the time I still didn’t care too much for traveling and ended up being really underdressed for the weather, so I was extremely uncomfortable the whole time we were roaming around the city. Have you ever been caught outdoors away from shelter during a thunderstorm? LOL yes, notably on the last night of my college internship. My car was parked in another building so I had to walk outdoors, when all of a sudden it fucking poured. I ran to the nearest building for shelter but I was still absolutely drenched and ended up having to call my mom (who works in the same city) to ask her to come pick me up.
What’s your favorite macaron flavor? Chocnut or milk chocolate.
How often do you have friends over to your house? Once in a blue moon. I had my ex over all the time but since then I’ve only had one friend - Angela - come over once.
Have you ever had a boss who acted unprofessionally? I mean, we’re very open with each other with regard to our frustrations at work.  That could technically count as unprofessional but I’m honestly just glad we don’t have to be fake around one another and pretend like everything’s dandy.
How many times have you stayed at a hotel in the past year, and where? Just once, for my dad’s birthday. We stayed in Tagaytay for a weekend though we Airbnb’d a condo unit and not a hotel.
Have you ever done a flip on a trampoline? Nah. I could try but I’m too afraid of not being able to support myself and accidentally breaking my neck or something.
What about a flip off of a diving board? Nope.
Are you embarrassed by your school yearbook photos? No. I barely look at them and I’m sure people barely look at yearbooks too.
Who taught you to tie your shoelaces? My grandma.
Currently how many pictures are on your cellphone? 8,067. There used to be around 10,000 but I had a ‘huge’ deleting spree that brought it down to around 6,000 – but clearly I’ve brought it back up again lol.
Do you think dimples are cute? Yes, super.
Would you rather chew fruity or minty gum? It’s whatever. They all lost their taste anyway.
The last time you went to the mall, who did you go with? Just me. That’s usually the case nowadays.
What’s something you used to collect when you were younger? Pogs.
Have you watched a movie today? I haven’t watched a movie since like September.
Aside from your own, whose house did you last set foot into? Angela’s, but it was super brief as I only went in to greet her parents.
Do you love soft pretzels? Yep, that’s how I prefer my pretzels as well.
Who was the last person who cried around you? Why did they start crying? Was it unexpected? I really have no clue. I haven’t been around too many people in such a long time, much less people who’ve cried in front of me. I want to say maybe Gabie???? during one of our last meet-ups. The name feels so foreign now.
Are you more likely to like someone before you really know them, or do you feel you like them more after you know a lot about them? After.
Do you buy people cards on special occasions, or do you prefer to make your own? Giving people cards isn’t much of a tradition here. We’d much rather get you a physical gift altogether.
When was the last time you were being hypocritical? I probably do it without realizing, so I can’t say exactly when.
Where on your body was the last cramp you had? Why did you have this cramp? Fortunately I haven’t had one in a while but I usually get cramps on my neck and shoulders after a whole day at work.
What is the weirdest name you’ve ever heard? My sister went to school with this girl whose name was her surname in reverse.
Do you get embarrassed when people hear you sing/compliment you on your singing ability? If so, why is that? Yeah. I’m not confident in my singing, so I never sing around people and it would embarrass me if I was ever caught/heard.
Are you good at comforting people when they’re upset? I try to be. It works for some people.
Do you have any exercises you do everyday? Nah.
Do you own one of those singing fish? Do you think they are silly or funny? I don’t know what this is referring to.
Has anyone ever accused you of being bipolar or any other mental disorder? Do you really have any mental disorders? No one has accused me; at least not to my face. As for the second question, I’m sure I have one or two; I’ve just never gotten myself professionally checked.
Did you buy the last thing you bought with your own money? If not, whose money did you buy it with? Yabu because I was craving; paid with my own money. It actually feels pretty weird because Yabu had been mine and my ex’s thing, and I haven’t had their food since the breakup. I’m looking forward to having it again tonight and finally changing the narrative for it.
Do you like to put your feet up on the dashboards of cars? Do you parents yell at you if you do that in cars? I don’t like to do it but I’ll sometimes do it if I wanna feel relaxed. No, it wouldn’t bother them too much.
Which Beatle is your favorite, or do you love them all equally? I don’t listen to them.
Do you enjoy classic rock? If so, who are some of your favorite classic rock artists? Not really, but I have nothing against it.
Did you ever own a Tamagotchi? Yep.
Are you more of a dog or cat person? Dog.
Have you ever failed math? Just the advanced courses, like calculus, back in high school. I find math pretty fun and easy if I get the topic and know the formulas; but if I find something hard, it’s very difficult for me to keep up. There’s really no in between haha I either pass with flying colors or absolutely flop.
Skittles! What's your favorite color? Whichever’s not too sour. Idk, I never buy Skittles.
Have you ever had a dream of stabbing someone? Nope but I used to have nightmares of watching my loved ones get shot.
What would you want your last words to be if you could choose them? That I had fun.
Can you sleep with the light on? Only if I’m pissed tired. Otherwise bright lights would bother me.
What’s the most bizarre horror movie you’ve ever seen? I know my answer won’t count as it doesn’t technically fall under horror, but Eraserhead was just very bizarre and unsettling. I’ve never seen the whole film without pausing several times.
What band can’t you stand listening to? Again, this probably won’t count as they’re a boy band/group more than anything, but I cannot stand The Vamps.
Would you ever take a lie detector test for your significant other? Yeah, sure, I guess, for fun. I think those are mostly bullshit anyway so I’ll only take a test with bullshit questions as well.
What is your favorite Mystery/Crime/FBI related show? Those genres never really were my cup of tea.
Would you ever have a bird as a pet? We had two lovebirds some years ago. They were lovely, but idk if we’d do it again. No reason, just that we prefer dogs.
How's your relationship between you and your grandparents? It’s great, even with my maternal grandpa who’s already passed. But I’m well aware of the fact that they’re also a bit wary of me since I’m the most vocal and outspoken of all their grandchildren, whereas they’re intensely conservative and traditional. Still, I always feel their love, especially through food and how they always make sure to stuff me whenever I come over haha.
Ever had a forbidden love or lover? In a sense, yeah. I was in a same-sex relationship that I hid from my family for four years.
Have you ever had to speak at a funeral?  I’ve never been to a funeral but I doubt I could speak at one without breaking down.
Do you know someone who’s been cremated?  Yes, my grandpa was cremated.
What is your current problem?  Just some deliverables at work that I would rather not think about now.
Do you like canopy beds?  Eh, I don’t mind them.
What is your favorite animated movie?  Toy Story.
Would you rather live in a small town or a big city?  Big city. I need lots of noise, lots of activity and lights where I live. I’ve lived in suburban neighborhoods all my life and I would love a change in pace.
If you could summon any animal to come to your rescue, what animal would it be and why?  Idk.
Have you ever watched The Golden Girls?  I’ve watched snippets and it’s HILARIOUS. I’ve always wanted to start the series but never knew where to watch it.
Did you ever like the Ninja Turtles? Was never into it, no.
Last alcoholic drink you had?  Peach soju and plum soju that got me absolutely hammered.
What are you known for?  These days, probably for doing an extreme 180 and having my life be all about BTS now.
Has anyone ever threatened you?  Yes.
Have you ever gone frog hunting?  No? Doesn’t sound like my type of activity at all.
Do you ever suffer from dry skin?  Yeah my face is a little dry, but I don’t think it’s something I ‘suffer’ from since no issues have come out of it so far. It’s just the way it is.
Do you still sleep with a stuffed animal?  Not a stuffed animal but I need to hug a pillow to fall asleep.
What’s the weather like right this moment?  It’s weather that says “it’s gonna get really hot in an hour or so” and I’m not enjoying that very much.
Do you bite on straws, lollipop handles, or ice cream sticks?  If there’s no trash can around, I tend to.
In what type of area was your first sexual encounter?  It was in a hotel.
Where is your mother’s side of the family descended from?  Just somewhere in the Philippines.
What do you occupy your time with on flights?  I’m honestly really happy with just staring out the window. If not that, I bring something to read or listen to music. I haven’t had a flight that lasted 6+ hours, but I imagine I would also bring my laptop for a series or movies to watch if I find myself in that situation.
Do you dog-ear pages in books?  Yup.
What’s a made up word of yours?  I don’t think I have any.
Do you use Q-Tips?  I do.
Ever gone out with somebody you didn’t like?  No. I don’t think I could bring myself to do that.
What hero or heroine do you most relate to in history, fiction, or song?  I don’t really like content with a hero/ine plot.
What makes you dizzy?  Amusement park rides, car rides, headaches.
Are your parents liberal or conservative?  Conservative.
Do you like your teeth? Did you have braces?  Not my middle teeth, but in general yeah. I did have braces but I lost my retainers at one point so my teeth just went back to their original position eventually.
Are you happy with your height?  It’s fine. I’m small but it’s the average here so I don’t really complain.

Quarantine Q&A
I was tagged by @ctl-yuejie
Are you staying home from work/school?
working from home, yeah.
If you’re staying home, who’s there with you?
me myself and i babeyy
Are you a homebody?
yes. but it’s one thing to spend a lot of time at home and another thing to spend ALL your time at home. i’m trying to get out for a neighborhood walk one hour per day, but other than that it’s just me chilling in my one-bedroom.
What movies have you watched recently? What shows are you watching?
apparently i have only watched three movies so far this year: jumanji: welcome to the jungle, the handmaiden, and portrait de la jeune fille en feu. they were all great (for different reasons lol) and i recommend them!
i am chipping away at deep space nine by watching an episode or two when i’m cooking or baking. i’m watching the latest season of kim’s convenience because it just got added to netflix, though i feel like it’s getting repetitive so i might not finish it. currently trying very hard NOT to watch 2gether even though the content i have been seeing is making it difficult to resist...mutuals, you know who you are.
An event that you were looking forward to that got cancelled?
i always look forward to seder at either my boss’s house or my high school best friend’s parents’ house, though i’m not sure i can count that since technically it was not on my calendar because neither of these families invites me until the last minute lol.
an event i was NOT looking forward to was roadtripping across the country with my family for my sister’s college graduation, so i was probably saved some headaches there.
What music are you listening to?
i recently unearthed a stash of mix cds from my mysterious past, so i’m listening to a lot of music i liked circa 2006-2015, i.e., mostly oldies.
What are you reading?
can’t motivate myself long enough to read a book, and even newspapers are difficult at the moment. still reading a lot of wangxian fic though. here are a few short ones i have read in the last two weeks and liked a lot, along with my very brief notes to self about them:
Common love isn't for us by feyburner (M, 8k) - wangxian make out but lwj stops it because he thinks wwx is just doing it for fun and not for love :((( incredibly beautiful and well-written descriptions, happy ending
Refraction by blueberry pocky (tangerinechar) (T, 4k) - HOPELESSLY SMITTEN lwj gets fake glasses to impress wwx
i. comparison by bogliasco (NR, 5k) - character study of lwj's inferiority (re: his brother) complex
The Old Switcheroo by thunderwear (T, 3k) - in which wwx eventually passes the mirror test, and lwj is incredibly melodramatic about his hangover
i keep wanting to do another fic rec post but they take a while to put together, so for now i just have languishing on my computer a very long list of all my favorite fics since november that i haven’t been able to find on tumblr. someday i’ll clean it up and let it see the light of day. someday!!
What are you doing for self-care?
sleeping, calling/skyping people, baking, making spreadsheets. i almost said sleeping again because it’s so important. SLEEPING!!
Tagging anyone who’s watching 2gether. maybe if you people are too busy doing ask memes you won’t have time to torture me with gifsets??

Building guns and hacking into North Korea
Or, how John Watson meets another secret Holmes sibling, after Eurus Holmes.
--
And right there, nestled up against Sherlock’s pillows and blankets, is a man.
John Watson has known Sherlock Holmes for quite a while now, and can proudly say that he’s seen his fair share of weird things when with Sherlock — but finding a man in Sherlock’s bed takes the cake. Said man is even wearing one of Sherlock’s shirts — the purple one — and this implies that Sherlock cares enough about this stranger’s comfort.
He is definitely younger than John and Sherlock — he’s a skinny, lithe thing, all angles and long limbs; pale with dark hair, but his face is hidden as he’s got a pillow over his head as he sleeps. Various items of clothing lay discarded near the foot of the bed: a mustard sweater, a pair of socks, a tie, an anorak. A nondescript briefcase rests on the floor near the night stand.
John considers the sleeping man for a while more before marching out into the hallway with the requested notebook in tow.
“You have a guest?” he says as he hands over the notebook to Sherlock, who takes it, puts it on his lap, and resumes his Thinking Pose with his fingers steepled together under his chin.
“Hmm,” is all he says. His eyes remain closed.
John peers down the hallway leading to the bedroom. “Will he be staying here longer?”
Sherlock manages something between an exasperated sigh and a groan: “It depends.”
“On?”
Sherlock’s eyes snap open; he flips through the notebook in his lap, fails to find what he wants, tosses the notebook away, pulls his bare feet up so he’s crouching in his chair, and begins to rock back and forth — typical signs of a roadblock somewhere in his genius brain.
“Is he a client?” John presses.
“No he’s not a client,” Sherlock snaps, closing his eyes again.
“Sorry – but did you actually bring your date home last night?”
“Be quiet, John.”
“Right.” John peers again down the hallway, but all is quiet.
Twenty minutes passed on in this fashion, and John has almost entirely forgotten about the stranger (going through the comments of his blog can often do that) when he hears some movement in the bedroom. First, a stifled yawn, then some rustling from the bed sheets, muffled footsteps, and the bathroom door opening and closing. Inside, the taps started to run.
John glances at Sherlock, but the man remains crouched in his chair, eyes closed.
When the stranger emerges from the bathroom, he makes a beeline towards the window and peers out of it. He completely misses John in the chair.
“He’s still there,” Sherlock says, addressing the other man.
“That’s vexing,” says the stranger; he sounds like he really thinks it. He sighs, lets the curtain fall, turns around, and sees John for the first time. “Oh! Dr Watson, I didn’t see you there.”
John stares. He takes in the unruly dark hair, those grey-green eyes behind the glasses, the slim fingers on the hand that is being offered to him. The smile seems genuine, but it’s the stranger’s uncanny resemblance to Sherlock that takes John by surprise – he blinks a couple times more before shaking the proffered hand.
“Right. Sorry – yeah, hi.”
“It’s good to finally meet you,” says the younger man, now positively beaming. “I feel like I’ve known you for so long, like I’ve even met you before, but, ah. Alas, I haven’t actually got the chance to do that before now — work often gets in the way of making a social call...”
“Right,” says John. He glances at Sherlock — nope, still in his Mind Palace apparently — “And you are...?”
“You can call me Q, everyone else does.”
Sherlock scoffs from his seat.
Q shakes his head at this, but there is an amused smile on his face. “Yes, well. Technically I don’t exist, so names can be a bit tricky. It’s Q. Even Mummy’s starting to warm up to it.”
“So let me get this straight,” says John to Sherlock, “you actually have another sibling? Another brother?”
“Brilliant deduction John, as always,” says Sherlock.
“And you’ve failed to mention this to me before now? What, did Mycroft have him locked up somewhere all this while, too?”
While Sherlock makes no response, Q groans and starts to make his way to the kitchen.
“I know, right? Another secret sibling, ugh,” he says, reaching for various tea-making things with enough ease and familiarity that tells John that he’s been here at the flat before. Unconsciously, John’s turned to follow Q into the kitchen. “But heavens, no. I’d go crazy if Mycroft’s decided to lock me up on some island in the middle of nowhere, I think. No, no – I gave my full consent to being a secret sibling. I fact, I very much enjoy being the only secret sibling, you know, until the whole Eurus business blew up in all our faces. A sister! I mean I have wondered what that would be like, to have a sister. Trust Mycroft to keep her hidden away like that — and from me, too!”
“Well if you weren’t too busy building guns and hacking into North Korea, you would’ve noticed a thing or two,” Sherlock mutters from his seat.
Q shrugs a shoulder as if agreeing, but then he says, “How am I supposed to notice things Mycroft has decided to hide away from the world? I’m not the genius consulting detective here.”
John snickers at this, which annoys Sherlock enough that he jumps out of his chair and stalks towards the window.
“So — guns and North Korea? I take it you don’t have a normal nine-to-five job, then?” John asks. “Or...I dunno…do you own a cafe or something by chance?”
Q sighs at this. “No, unfortunately... although the idea of opening a cat cafe has crossed my mind once or twice before. Would be nice. Tea?”
“Oh, ta,” says John, accepting the cup and taking a sip. While this Q character looks like a Holmes and has the subtle mannerisms of a Holmes, his manners so far are nothing like those of Sherlock’s or Mycroft’s. In fact, John is pretty sure that Q’s managed to tick all the boxes when it comes to what society deems ‘proper’ during first introductions: handshake? – check; polite conversation? – check; refraining from invading someone else’s personal space or abducting and bringing them to an abandoned warehouse ? – check.
John thinks he might actually get along with this one just fine.
He’s also not the least bit surprised to find that Q knows exactly how he takes his tea.
(Okay, so maybe Q does exhibit the typical ‘I-know-a -lot-more-than-you-do’ trait of a Holmes; but so far, it doesn’t seem like he plans to wield that as a weapon against John, or to use it to show off like his older brothers tend to do.)
“This is very good,” John says, taking another sip of the tea.
“Thank you.” Q flashes him a pleased smile as he pours another cup and brings it to where his brother is standing. “Is he still there?”
“He’s very persistent, I’ll give you that,” says Sherlock, accepting the cup of tea from Q.
“Are you being stalked?” John asks, joining the other two at the window.
“That’s one way to put it.”
Sherlock groans. “You know, you could always just let him shag you—” (here, it seems like Sherlock is about to blurt out his brother’s name, catches himself just in time, rolls his eyes, and corrects himself) “—Q, and we can all go back to our lives.”
John almost chokes on his tea at the sudden and nonchalant mention of sex, but Q takes it all in a stride: he makes a mildly offended face and says, “No Sherlock, I’m not going to do that – he’s used to getting whatever he wants whenever he wants it, and I do not plan to be just another notch in his bedpost, thank you very much.”
“Well, why not? Get it out of both of your systems. It’s been, what? Three years?”
Q hums. “Three and a half years, give or take.”
“Ohforgodssake,” Sherlock groans, marching away from the window and plopping down into his chair again. “It’s just sex that he wants, so give it to him.”
“It’s not just sex,” Q insists, still peering out the window. “It’s a matter of my pride too, you know. Don’t you at least care about that?”
Sherlock makes a non-committed noise, but John catches Q grinning at his older brother.
“He does. Care, I mean,” Q says quietly, almost fondly, when he meets John’s eyes.
And for a brief moment, John can actually imagine it: Sherlock as an older brother, protecting this bespectacled little brother of his from possible bullies all throughout their lives. He’s seen enough today to know that Sherlock and Q do indeed share a different brotherly bond than the one Sherlock shares with Mycroft (Sherlock’s purple shirt for Q, the cup of tea for Sherlock, that jab about Sherlock being a genius that would incense the detective had it been someone else uttering the insult), that Older Brother Sherlock does care about this mysterious youngest Holmes brother.
And John’s got no doubts that Sherlock would deck any arsehole who’d dare hurt his little brother’s pride.
“Right. And who is this fellow, exactly?” John asks, stepping closer to the window and peering out of it. He sees no one and nothing out of the ordinary in the streets below, but Q is still gazing out the window and John tries to follow his line of sight.
“Oh, just an underling of mine,” says Q.
“What, Bob from Finance?” John tries. Q chuckles at this.
“Q works for MI6,” Sherlock chimes in helpfully – a clear sign that he’s eavesdropping.
“MI6?” John lets out a low whistle. “Well, whoever this guy is – poor bloke. Can’t imagine him facing either of your brothers if anything goes wrong.”
“Oh, I don’t know. He’s a stubborn field agent. I feel like he might be able to handle Sherlock and Mycroft.”
“I’d like to see him try,” Sherlock mutters from his corner of the flat.
Q beams at John.
--
lol just a self-indulgent blurb of how I think John meets Q, the youngest of the four Holmes siblings!
No real plot, really. I just sort of imagined Bond tailing Q home out of curiosity (and the desire to shag lol) and Q noticing that he’s being tailed and panicking and therefore dropping by 221B Baker Street just because that’s one of the safest places he knows, only to find out via Sherlock’s deductions that he’s been tailed by an errant Double-Oh who perhaps has a crush on Q lol.
I haven’t yet come across fics where Mycroft, Sherlock, AND Eurus Holmes are related to Q. Would be nice to see how Q would react to having a sister.
It’s kind of my headcanon that Mycroft’s managed to keep Eurus a complete secret, even from Q.
I also sometimes find it funny how  Q is referred to as the moniker Q so easily by both Sherlock and Mycroft. I’d imagine they’d want to naturally address him by his name, as surely they do not call him by what is basically his title/work rank on a daily basis. (Like imagine if your brother is a doctor, and he comes over for a visit, and you call him...”doctor”?? Isn’t that weird?? xD idk, it feels weird to me~) Hence that sentence up there where Sherlock almost let slip Q’s real name.
(And yes, I was referring to Sherlock’s infamous purple shirt lol)

Takes place in between 1x09 the Writers Room and 1x10 Homecoming. Eliot’s “coping” with killing Mike in 1x08 Strangled Hearts. Quentin finds Eliot in the middle of a nightmare one night and helps him through it.
It had only been a couple of weeks since that night. The night he murdered Mike. Eliot had been trying everything he could think of to distract himself from thinking about it. Drinking, drugs, sex. Their “adventure” at the Plover House provided a brief distraction, albeit a horrifying and deeply disturbing one. Honestly it was a terrible distraction. Really fucked up that Fillory guy. But the distractions only last for so long. Eventually he always starts thinking about Mike again.
Mike…He had been so foolish. Of course the one person he had opened up to, whom he shared exactly who he was, was possessed by a magical, murdering dickwad. He wasn’t real. Whoever Mike was, whatever he had felt for Eliot, wasn’t real. It didn’t mean anything.
But it had. It had been real for Eliot. He had never felt that way about another person before. Mike was the first person he could truly say he loved. Margo hadn’t understood him when he said he wanted to be with him and only him. No more sleeping around. He loved Mike. He wanted to be with Mike. Margo said he was being stupid and that he didn’t know Mike at all. He’d only just met the guy. In the end, he guessed Margo was right. He didn’t know Mike. Not at all.Eliot downed his glass of whiskey in one swallow and poured himself another glass. He’d lost count of how many glasses he’d had at this point but the thoughts and images kept coming. He kept seeing Mike’s head bent at an unnatural angle. He kept feeling his soft skin, the taste of his lips on his own, the magic sparking in his fingers as he snapped Mike’s neck. He could see Mike’s face covered in blood, smell his cologne and hear his laugh.
Eliot abandoned the glass in favor of drinking straight from the bottle in front of him. Taking a long swallow from one and grabbing two more bottles without looking at what type of alcohol he was taking, he made his way from the bar to his room. He wasn’t in the mood for partying.
——————————-
Quentin returned to the Physical Kids Cottage some time after midnight. After yet another day of trying to figure out what happened to Penny, he was exhausted. As per usual at the cottage, he was greeted by the sounds of raucous laughter and inebriated antics. Normally he’d seek out Eliot and have a drink or three but he was too tired. All he wanted was to go upstairs and collapse on his bed.
Without more than a glance around the room, Quentin trudged upstairs to his room. He was asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.
——————————-
Quentin jerked awake to the sound of screaming. It took him a moment to shake the post-sleep disorientation and realize that the screaming was very real and not some sort of lingering effects of a dream he was having. It was coming from down the hall.
Quentin threw back the covers and jumped out of bed. As he threw open his door another scream echoed out. It sounded like it was coming from Eliot’s room.
Quentin felt his heart drop to his stomach in fear. Thinking only of Eliot’s safety, he flew down the hall, barefoot and in his pajamas. Eliot was in danger. Nothing else mattered but getting to his room.
As he approached Eliot’s door the screaming grew louder. Several other students had stumbled out of the room in confusion and fear but Quentin paid them no attention. He tore open Eliot’s door ready to fight but what he saw stopped him in his tracks.
There was no monster. No Beast. No danger. Just Eliot who was in the middle of what seemed to be one horrific nightmare. He was thrashing around on his bed, limbs flailing. When he wasn’t screaming, his voice tampered down to strained whimpers and moans.
Quentin ran to Eliot’s thrashing body and grabbed hold of his flailing arms. He tried to pin him down so he didn’t hurt himself (or accidentally punch him while he tried to wake him up).
Eliot screamed again as Quentin tried to keep him still making Quentin’s heart broke into a million pieces. What the hell was he dreaming about!?
“Eliot, wake up! You’re having a nightmare!” he shouted. “Eliot! Please! Wake up!!”
Suddenly, Eliot’s eyes flew open and he shoved Quentin away from him making them both topple off the bed and crash to the floor in a tangle of limbs. Quentin groaned and rubbed the back of his head where it had banged against the bed as he fell.
“Oh god, Q. I’m sorry. I’m sorry, I’m sorry! Oh god, I killed you. No no no no! There’s so much blood. So much blood.”
The frantic sound of Eliot’s voice brought Quentin’s attention back to his friend. He was sitting on the ground where he fell, hunched over and shaking, staring at his hands with a look of complete horror on his face. His eyes were wide and he was chanting under his breath, “it’s not real. It’s not real. It’s not real.”
“El?” Quentin reached out to comfort him but Eliot flinched away violently and skittered away until he was pressed tightly into the corner of the room staring at Quentin with wide, terror filled eyes. Tremor after tremor coursed through his body. He glanced quickly at something over Quentin’s shoulder before returning to Q’s face.
Turning around, Quentin saw the students who had been woken up by Eliot’s screams also came to investigate. Quentin stood and marched over to the door. “Everything’s fine. Go back to bed,” he said before slamming the door in their faces. Eliot didn’t need them witnessing this.
Eliot brought his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms underneath his long legs in order to form a tight, protective ball. His face was hidden in his knees and Quentin could see tremors coursing through his body.
“El? It’s okay El, it was just a dream. You’re safe. It wasn’t real,” Quentin tried to reassure Eliot as he reached out and touched his shoulder. His fingers only just grazed Eliot’s shirt before he jerked away from his touch.
Quentin backed up a bit, hands raised in surrender, trying to give Eliot some space, “Easy, El. It’s just me. It’s Quentin. Can you look at me?” Eliot didn’t move. He just continued to shake, violent shivers that coursed through his whole body.
“Eliot?” There was no response from him. “Okay that’s cool. We can uh we can just sit here. Take your time. I’m right here.”
Quentin had never seen him like this before. Eliot was always the strong confident upperclassman. He’d never seen him this terrified before. God, he wished Margo was here. She should be here and not in Ibiza. She’d be able to help him, get through to him somehow.
At a lost for how to help, Quentin did the only thing he could think of. He sat down next to Eliot. Close enough that Eliot knew he was there but far enough that Eliot had the space he desired. And he waited, quietly offering support until Eliot had calmed down.
A few minutes past by, feeling like hours, before Eliot spoke, “You should go back to bed, Q.”
Quentin jumped at the soft sound of his friends ragged voice, “Eliot! Hey. How are you doing?”
“I’m fine,” he said as he uncurled his stiff limbs and rubbed the evidence of tears away from his face, his hand shaking as he did. He was still trembling but it had seemed to calm a bit from earlier.
“Eliot. You are not fine. You were screaming and shaking and…”
“It was just a bad dream, Q. I’m fine. Go back to bed.”
“Just a bad dream. Sure it was. Bad enough it left you a shaking mess. You wanna talk about it?”
“Not particularly,” Eliot rose and stumbled over to the nearest bottle of alcohol he could find. Bringing it to his lips he took a long drink and swayed.
“Come on, El. You can’t just drink it away. Talk to me.”
Eliot paused debating about saying something or taking his drink and going somewhere far away, “It was different this time.”
“What was different?” Quentin said quietly, rising off the floor and moving closer to Eliot.
“The dream. Usually…..usually it’s Mike. Always Mike. But this time,” he paused, hesitant to say more.
“This time?” Quentin encouraged.
Eliot turned slightly and looked at Quentin, turmoil swimming in his eyes. He went to look for a bottle of alcohol, any alcohol. Before he could take a drink, Quentin snatched the bottle out of his hands.
“Hey, no. No more of that Eliot. You’ve had enough. Just talk to me. What was different about this dream?”
“….It was you. I….I killed you, Q.”
Quentin was stunned. Eliot saw the opportunity and took the bottle from Quentin’s stunned hands and took another very long swig.
“Shit. El. I..–”
“It’s always Mike. The situation changes from dream to dream but it’s always Mike and I always snap his neck like a twig. But this time it was you. You were standing there and… and you were going to kill Fogg so I…I killed you.” Emotions overwhelming him, he turned away from Quentin and ran a shaky hand through his mussed hair.
Quentin swore to himself and looked at Eliot’s back, “I’m sorry.”
Eliot huffs out a laugh, “Why the fuck are you sorry Q? You haven’t done anything wrong.”
“I’m sorry because you’ve been dealing with this alone and that I hadn’t noticed how bad it’s gotten,” Quentin said, grasping Eliot’s arm before he could take yet another drink. He could feel him shivering still. Slight tremors that made his arm shake slightly.
“You shouldn’t worry about me Quentin. In fact, you should probably stay away from me. It’s safer that way.” Eliot pulled his arm out of Quentin’s grasp and plopped down on the bed dejectedly, a bottle of scotch hanging from his fingertips. 
Quentin sat down next to him, “I’m not gonna stay away from my best friend. I know you’re hurting right now Eliot but it’s gonna get better. I promise. How about I stay here tonight? We could just hang out. Talk or whatever.”
Eliot glanced at Quentin and a small smile grew, “No talking. Just drinking.”
Quentin smiled back and took the scotch from him.
