bestfriends to lovers | kwon soonyoung
Tumblr media
seventeen as romantic tropes series ✩ masterlist ✩
Tumblr media
PAIRING: hoshi x reader
THEMES: best friends to lovers, mutual pining, fluff
WARNINGS: fluff
WORDCOUNT: 425
A/N: this didn't turn out exactly how i imagined, but i hope it's okay.
Tumblr media
kwon soonyoung, he's always been your number one and he was your friend, best friend in fact. you'd spent a considerable amount of your childhood years together and now you both were adults and in college, busy with your respective lives. but that didn't mean you both still didn't meet up, you guys were best friends after all. nothing could get in between you both.
so when you're invited to your old friend's wedding, you ask soonyoung to come along as your plus one. that was kind of your thing, going to weddings or parties as each other's plus ones. it was fun and gave you both an excuse to spend time with each other.
so here you are, slow dancing under the starry night sky with soonyoung, as you both sway and slowly move to the music playing, looking at each other. soonyoung looks at you like you're the only person in the world right now. his eyes are filled with so much love and adoration as it look at you, it almost overwhelms you and you tear your gaze away, clearing your throat before you look back up at him. suddenly you're hyper-aware of how you both are and the feeling of his hands on you. soonyoung's gaze never once wavers as he gives you a soft smile, making your heart race.
"what are you thinking about", you tease, poking him in the chest, getting nervous under his gaze.
"i think i'm in love with you", he says softly, the words hanging in the air between you both. your eyes widen at his words, at his sudden confession before you regain your composure, only blinking at him, thinking he was pulling your leg.
"very funny", you tell, laughing nervously but he doesn't seem fazed, as he pulls you closer ever so slightly, but enough to make your breath hitch in your throat, his gaze drawing you in.
you'd honestly wondered what would happen if you both harboured feelings for each other, but soonyoung's confession catches you off guard. did you like him back? yes. maybe even love him? yes.
"and if i said i was in love with you too?", you offer and he smiles wider when he hears those words.
"then that's good", he adds, holding your gaze, looking at you with pure endearment, a softness and adoration in his gaze.
"i think we'd make a pretty cute couple, don't you think?', he asks, making you laugh, and he laughs too. and when you look at him this time, the tension in the air is no longer there, replaced with a quiet understanding as you both look at each other.

So I saw your post about your Azul and Riddle enemies headcanons and how you mentioned that you actually believe they're besties, and as someone who also believes they're besties I'd be very interested to hear any bff headcanons you have about them if you don't mind 👀
Azul and Riddle are bffs even if they both refuse to admit it. I think about their interactions in book 6 frequently. You get a bulleted list because I don't know how else to organize my thoughts this time.
They've literally been besties since they met their freshman year (probably at orientation in the form of Azul trying to get Floyd to leave Riddle alone)
Like, they'd start accidentally hanging out together in the library while they were studying
And then it just became an unspoken meetup at a certain time at the same table at least once a week
When Riddle found out about Azul's study guides he tried really hard to get him in trouble for breaking the rules, only to find out that Azul was not, in fact, breaking a single rule (causing Riddle to gain a new respect for him but also to make sure his whole dorm was wary of him)
Now that they're both housewardens, they have a tendency to inadvertently, or on purpose, team up during housewarden meetings on random topics
Half the time they don't even realize they're agreeing until after they've won whatever argument they were having with the others and they high five (immediately regretting it)
After book 6 when Azul says they're friends Riddle has to think long and hard about what that means and whether or not Azul is trying to pull one over on him
Once they both mutually accept each other as friends they get really awkward around each other because neither of them have ever really had 'friends'
Like, Azul has the twins but they don't refer to each other as friends and Riddle has Trey and Che'nya and Cater but he's never really felt like they were at the same point as him in terms of friendship (mostly because he excluded himself from anything close to friendship)
Azul and Riddle just work so well together and they're just always on the same page (even if Riddle gets offended if anyone compares him to Azul in any way)

whats ur beef?
My favourite manga lost the plot so now i cope by being a hater 👍
#long answer is i have beef with the direction that the bsd manga has taken#it only superficially resembles the beloved mystery and character-driven detective agency story with atsushi as the main character#i'm dissatisfied with major developments like killing off fyodor and reviving him and pulling this#PSYCH his ability wasn't what you thought it was. with zero foreshadowing or buildup#because the manga has become full of marvel-movie type plot twists that serve little to no coherent narrative purpose except shock factor#it cheapens the story and it cheapens the development of characters and it cheapens the reader's experience#because we can't speculate and we can't draw connections and parallels and engage with the story on a deeper level#what connections there exist (for example between manga and anime) are shoehorned in after the popularity of the anime and#specific characters (e.g. fyodor who was shoehorned into untold origins in the anime) and mostly the characters who bring in money#i.e. fyodor and dazai and chuuya and their relationships especially soukoku. all this at the expense of characters like atsushi or#the majority of the female cast. who have been MIA for god knows how long and who were barely given frame each in the anime's finale#bsd treatment of its female characters has been subpar shounen level at best and now they're completely sidelined#as with most of the original cast and the original themes of the story. in fact i struggle to identify a coherent overarching theme#for the current arc. other than military action scifi movie go brrrr#compared to early arcs where each chapter had a meaningful message to say about the importance of living and what it means to stay alive and#keep going and why we are fighting to keep important people in our lives and to keep ourselves alive#and what it means to belong somewhere and what it means to be good or bad and how your place of belonging affects that#as a long term reader i just feel betrayed and disappointed. by how a story with complex and vibrant characters has become another#generic cashgrab shounen. and i mourn for the lost potential it had and everything the series has build up#only to have plot points abandoned at a whim.#so that's why i'm a hater now 👍#i know a lot of my bsd mutuals are still big fans of bsd so i try not to be obnoxious about it and mainly keep it comedic#like i don't actually hate the manga. because it's so important to me. and i respect the creators of the manga and anime#but it's frustrating to watch a train wreck in real time. and it's my blog i can hate what i want 😔#sorry if there are typos i wrote all this on mobile and can't edit the tags. i didn't wanna put any of this in the main post

i think spot admires jack very deeply and looks up to him a lot but would rather be stabbed to death than ever say that out loud. btw. i think jack respects spot and everything that he's done more than almost anybody else in the world but would rather be set on fire than admit it. also.

#My art#Wander Over Yonder#Commander Peepers#Lord Hater#Death Glare#Thinking like a Lot a Lot about Peepers' affection for Lord Hater lately#Specifically about Peepers' attraction to others in general but Hater in specific since y'know - that man is his everything haha#He is not subtle about it <3#There's also the impropriety of them being in a relationship but not caring since they're already villains and just hhh <3 The appeal!#I think it's still the contrast for me - not Just in their designs but yes also that lol#But in their highs and lows in general! They're so combative and mean but they can also be sweet and silly#There's a kind of mutual respect and admiration that's largely overshadowed by the other's arrogance or immaturity or perceived ineptness#And I love that for them! The fact that it still persists despite how well they know each other! They love each other!! It's cute as heck!!#Peepers is absolutely incorrigible - his big Heart Eye whenever Hater does anything remotely adept and evil#He is So obvious lol <3#But even Hater has his moments of recognition and realizing his own errors when he does wrong by Peepers and hhhhh it's just so good <3 <3#They need each other#These vectors are also still fun as heck to make lol they're quite quick! I like having a project done within a day :D#Having such strong stylism to follow makes it much easier ♥ Thank you cartoony aesthetic love you#The Skullship palette as well :D Love it all!#Peepers in specific is still the funnest to draw but how much of that can be attributed to wanting to practice him because I love him lol

Would Tanisha consider Val family since she basically knew him her entire life? Or are they just like acquaintances through her grandfather?
sometimes she refers to him as "uncle val" :'^) it's said sarcastically, especially when he tries to give her any sort of advice or lecture, but nisha does mean it some. he's a long-time customer and has earned his title as a family friend, it's hard not to feel a bit of a bond with somebody you see and talk to so frequently!

From what I remember in your story, even taking Iroh's initial biases into account I thought part of his intense hostility leading up to his report to Ozai was that he was truly convinced that Azula's true nature was either no better or even significantly worse than Ozai's due to the Iroh's suspicions arc. Azula herself told Sokka she was worried that by throwing him of the trail of their relationship that she may have brought the worst out of him. Honestly this was probably my favorite exploration of their conflict, because if they were truly able to trust each other and talk they could have avoided so much pain and trouble, but both of them over the course of the story had developed genuine and/or biased reasons not to trust one another and viewed themselves as doing the right thing despite their actions ultimately resulting in the worst outcome. Azula was trying to prevent a known adversary from having ammunition to ruin their lives and future plans, and Iroh believed that he was essentially hindering the fire nation by turning what he thought were essentially two Evil Ozais with a good relationship with one another into enemies. I can't lie that I'm not slightly disappointed that in the latest chapter that this aspect of their conflict wasn't brought up more explicitly in the conversation with Zuko when Iroh was talking about his biases. Was I personally thinking that the dynamic was more significant than it actually was or is that dynamic being saved for a future conversation Iroh may have with Sokka and Azula?
Uuuuuh, as for the last question... I don't really know if I'll bring it up some more since I do think I've had Iroh acknowledge why and how he fucked up in that respect in the past + exteriorized that if Azula had acted differently he might just have done it too? Am I crazy for thinking so? Did I write that or didn't I? That's a complicated game to play when you're almost at 5 million words of a story... 🤣
Azula and Iroh miiiight have one more conversation in the future and maybe this will come up there, but I haven't written it yet so I won't make any promises on that front. Admittedly, I don't expect their future encounter to be particularly fruitful. Iroh is 100% genuine in what he has understood and learned, though, that can't be denied and I always have hoped to portray him not as a super wicked villain but as a character who thinks he understands far more than he actually does, with motivations that push him into making mistakes he very much comes to regret.
This being said, the Azula-Iroh and Zuko-Ozai parallels in this story are and always have been 100% intentional. Those two tugs-of-war have been going on forever, and the crux of them was very much the fact that Azula and Iroh distrusted and second-guessed and suspected each other soooo much... because they have similar natures, similar thought processes, and they're both intellectual, suspicious, hiding what's REALLY going on underneath the surface, and immediately wary when they recognize all those traits in each other too. Likewise, Zuko and Ozai have some REALLY ugly parallels and one of those parallels, already given away by the chapter you sent this ask over, is going to be the driving force of the conflict between those two, much as a similar thing was the driving force between Iroh and Azula, in its own way: the more they fight to push the other away, the harder they reject the other, the more they end up embodying the flaws they see in that other person, to an extent where they could do absolutely TERRIBLE things just out of wanting to push the other one as far away as possible.
So yeah, the point was never for Iroh to feel like some sadistic mustache-twirling villain who wanted Azula to suffer just for shits and giggles. He had his reasons to do what he did. Doesn't mean he was right. Doesn't mean he should've done it. What it means is it made sense in his head due to his biases, the information he had at hand at the moment, and the particularly awful relationship he had with Azula. Likewise, Azula's rejection of Iroh back in "Iroh's suspicions" caused her uncertainty and anguish because she KNEW she had taken it too far. She was afraid of the consequences. A part of her KNEW that if she acted differently, there was a chance, however slim, that Iroh might not have made the choice he did. And that's why this is such a messed up situation! :')
Ultimately, I want my characters to have motivations that just... add up. That can be traced. That, upon looking at their actions and choices, anyone can go "oh yeah, this is why they did whatever they did". This is good when it comes to establishing ultimate goals, and it's also good when you want to put characters to the test: how far are they willing to go, what are they ready to do to achieve whatever they're trying to achieve? How much are they willing to sacrifice for it? And the answers to those questions can be VERY extreme and painful. Just so, we can find characters who decide to back down and simply surrender over their goals when they realize that there are other things that matter more. But it's a manner of game a writer plays when it comes to gauging and figuring out what a character wants vs. needs, what a character will fight for and what it will take for them to surrender, and so on. Fundamentally, that's how I built up Iroh and Azula's chaotic dynamic. Whatever comes from that in the future, ultimately, their biggest problem may just be that they were just too smart for their own good, tried to outsmart each other a little too much, and never allowed themselves to just... accept each other properly. They came close to it once, yes! But... they failed. And it's depressing as hell, but complicated characters will always be challenging this way...

I think the biggest difference between natehawk via death dependency goes something like
Nate: You're going to kill me? Do you promise?
Hawk: You're going to kill me? Whyyyyyyy? Why? ;w;
#I think they're both too respectful to retort that their assailant couldn't possibly match up with everything that has tried to come for#their lives before now. however i think they both entirely believe that they will be the ones to take their own lives#so to different degrees it doesn't really phase them. but of course they could also kill each other#and they don't out of something approaching mutual respect#nate has spent his whole life trying to take his own life and if he can't you're not going to be able to#and hawk has spent his early life thinking everyone would be better off without him. but he loves life and that is what i would refer to#as the categorical growth between them. and one of the main differences between the v1 and v2 timelines and the doppelganger arc#i hate this life so i'm going to take yours. vs#i don't deserve this life so you can take it#i know i said they're both too respectful to say it but it shows in their respective fighting styles#with nate being more confident to the point of being cocky and coming off as arrogant and even impatient with his enemies#while hawk tends to keep his confidence within his abilities... what i mean is that he's reserved and calculating and prideful to a fault-#he's not going to strike unless he knows he's going to be victorious (or he has to)#although he does mirror nate in times of extreme emotion. i think they make good foils for each other. because it's not a bad thing to-#mirror the other. but it's not THEM. it's not what makes them them. but in some ways they will always be each other#but neither of them believe that they will be taken out regardless of the extent of the respect they have for their opponent. it's-#it's simply not within their plans#which is what will be their downfall if - [the rest of this message is scrambled]#dominoz

“He could take that thing he was singing, and just sledgehammer it through somebody’s heart,” Shinoda said with reverence. “I’ve grown to appreciate what we had even more, because it’s hard to get that. I work with people where I go, ‘Oh, can you sing it this way?’ And they just can’t.”
Brad Delson, the band’s guitarist, called “Lost” a “surprise gift” from Bennington. “The performance is so beautiful, delicate and clear,” he said. “I’ve heard a lot of great Chester vocals, and this is among the best.”
...
But the process of assembling the reissue has provided another means of considering how Bennington may have wanted the band to proceed without him. In particular, Shinoda said he “felt confident” that the singer would have endorsed these expanded editions. “Historically, he was always way more bullish about putting out stuff,” he said. “A typical Chester reaction would have been, ‘Why not just make the album 15 songs?’ When I thought about that, it was very reassuring.”

sinking slowly into herahsoka hell
it's about the angst
it's about the second chance at love
it's about love in war and putting duty first no matter how much you want each other
it's about two incredibly competent, hot bisexuals

much love to my mutuals but i actually am much more comfortable being honest that we are not necessarily friends on here and actually are strangers to each other unless we've made active efforts to be friends otherwise
#thinking back to when an ex mutual randomly stormed into my dms to give their two cents on my crush situation#and spoke to me in a Way too familiar manner like. fucking excuse you#we do not know each other and we are not friends. if i wanted your opinion i would ask for it#but youre some person on the 'net as far as im concerned.#you are not entitled to my trust of your judgement or my respect for a halfbaked uninformed opinion i didnt ask for#idk maybe its because of semi-involuntarily unplugging for weeks on end to be surrounded by people in highschool set me straight abt this#and like. no offense to people who turn to online because of isolation. like i have sympathy for that because like#my parents purposefully cut me off from people i felt supported by & restricted me to suffocating circles so i did turn to online escapism#i GET it#but. god#i honestly think the idea that we're all friends on here does more harm than good.#like i think if we all remember we dont know each other and are still owing and deserving of respect and courtesy to each other anyways#this sites environment can. Really improve#but anyways. maybe partve this is because im just a hardass about who i call my friends#like for perspective. i ended a really good friendship bc they didnt practice covid precautions and i lost a shitton of respect for them#i was blating baby im an anarchist for like a week when i cut them off lmfao#but anyways. maybe this is just me nd i LOVE being friendly with people & getting to know ppl nd online can be a great opportunity for that#but dont get it twisted! just because we're friendly doesnt mean we're friends!!!!!
