#but I went with the more IK focused wish for this post because it's more fleshed out in my head. you know?

[pinkestsorbet]

Silly lil headcanons about the wishes that made the worlds/universes featured in episodes 6 & 7

⚠️ Spoilers for Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake beyond this point ⚠️

Okay so assuming everyone only gets one wish (or at least we'll only see one wish per character) and it inevitibly 'monkey paws' and turns out badly for the person who made the wish, I think Winter World and Vampire World belong to Bubblegum and Marceline respectively.

For Bubblegum's Winter World wish is the one I'm least confident on but it was probably something along the lines of 'To have Simon/Ice king regain his sanity'. This of course backfires into PB taking on the crown's madness herself and having their roles reversed. (This wish is the one I'm least confident in)

As for the Vampire World I think Marceline's wish might've been similar 'For Simon to have never lost his mind to the crown'. Instead of being raised by Simon and losing him to the crown Marcy is instead raised by the Vampire King and becomes almost opposite to who she is in the main Adventure Time world.

These wishes would have been made pre-finale of Adventure Time.

Why are these hypthetical wishes so Petrikov focused?

Because he's a huge part of both PB and Marcy's lives in two very different ways.

For Bonnie, the Ice king regularly kidnaps princesses and his wacky hijinks tend to cause havok in Ooo so fixing Simon would solve these problems. But instead she takes his place.

For Marceline it'd be about saving her adoptive dad from years trapped inside his mind, maybe even growing up without worrying about Simon putting on the crown and not turning back? But instead she never meets Simon at all.

Why Princess Bubblegum and Marceline? Why not another character?

Because they are so central to their respective worlds and the episodes they're featured in. They also lose a huge part of who they are in these worlds compared to the main universe.

Farmworld Finn becomes his own enemy, The Snow Man, his world's version of the Ice king. Meanwhile The Lich loses his purpose when all life is extinct in his wish world. Similarly PB becomes The Candy Queen, her world's version of the Ice King, and Marcy becomes a part of the vampires she devoted a large portion of her life to staking.

It would also link well with the B Story of the two episodes being centred around Gary and Marshall Lee; The Winter King's B Story centres around Gary pitching his idea to the Lemoncarbs. The Star's B plot focuses on Marshall Lee almost giving up his dreams for the sake of someone he loves.

This is of course all just speculation and headcannon and is subject to change as more information is released by the creators

I wanted to get my ideas written down :3

#I don't usually post about headcanons or ideas cos its intimidating #like i said i'm not 100% confident on PB's wish but I still firmly think its her wish that made the world #my alternative idea is that she wished to have better control over her powers or something along those lines #but I went with the more IK focused wish for this post because it's more fleshed out in my head. you know? #woah this is an essay and a half lol #spiltsorbet #fionna and cake #fionna and cake spoilers

study nights.

desc: you have a hard time trying to get taehyun's attention as he tries to study and accomplish his physics homework.

pairing: taehyun x shy reader

genre: fluff

warning/s: nonee

wc: 1,548 words

a/n: bro he looks SOO fine in these pictures i canttt. anyway, im so sorry for being so ia huhu but i j wanted to thank everyone for all the support the first post has been getting <33 i want to reply to the comments but im so bad at simply interacting with others that im scared to sound awkward kjdfnajkd. ik this is another fluff but i swear ive been working on a muchh longer fic that i wannna post soon, so stay tuned and i hope u guys enjoy this one first!!

Only the scribbling of words on some papers and the sound of typing on a keyboard could be heard in Kai and Taehyun's shared room as the two of you went about with your own separate activities.

Kai, his roommate, was currently in the living area with the other boys, given that he didn't want to interrupt you two during your time alone. Which was a bit of a wasted effort considering Taehyun seemed to be using it more for his solo study time. 

At the moment, your boyfriend was devoting his utmost attention to his academics, with different papers and books systematically scattered all around the small study desk. His favorite pen on hand for extra notes, and he had a laptop propped up by a stand, followed by a Bluetooth keyboard on which he was currently typing his heart out.

You, on the other hand, were sat timidly on his bed with a good novel pressed against your nose. You did not wish to disrupt the boy because you knew how serious he was about his studies.

He had been trying to complete an extremely difficult homework for his Physics class, and because you didn't choose that as one of your classes for the year, you'd have no idea how much pain and suffering he'd have to endure in that class.

Like he was even going to suffer with that Professor Kim around.

Taehyun was very academically inclined, and as a result of the way he behaved himself, participated in class, and excelled in all of the work given to him, he often became the teachers' favorite student.

You could not help but admire your boyfriend for it. He truly possessed a lot of exceptional qualities.

Though your relationship was not as fresh as it used to be―you both being together for eight months long―you could not help but let your bashful manners take over when it came to situations like these.

You'd always been a shy and reserved kid who couldn't seem to take a stand for what you wanted in public interactions.

Of course, you could still converse with strangers when they needed directions and whatnot, but you never bothered to join large gatherings or tried to blend in with the other kids because you felt it was pointless and time-consuming. Basically being the opposite of Yeonjun... but you were still close friends with him.

Which is why you've often questioned how you managed to catch the attention of the extroverted boy sitting at the desk across from you. Maybe it was the random exchanges in the hallways- or you being well-acquainted with the rest of the boys.

Who knows?

You were just thankful that someone saw something special in you.

You looked up from your novel, expecting him to be almost finished with what he was doing and offer you some of his attention. Instead, you were disappointed to see that he remained deeply absorbed in his study. His focused gaze visible in his dark-brown eyes.

Because of this, you began to wonder if approaching him for attention was even a good idea. You decided to move a bit forward from your position until you were directly behind him, sitting on the edge of the bed.

For the following thirty minutes, you continued to silently read as he worked, giving him subtle hints that you wanted him to at least feel your presence from right behind him and take a glance at you.

"Tae?" You murmured out softly, unsure whether you wanted him to actually hear you or not.

He continued to focus solely on his work as he hummed out in response, "Hm?"

"How's your worksheet going?" You awkwardly questioned.

"Pretty rough, if I'm being honest. Why, love?"

"I-uhh just wanted to make sure you were doing alright." You uttered out before going back to your book.

Another hour had soon passed, and his prior hyper radar focus appeared to have cooled down to a more relaxed state as he progressed more with finishing his homework.

You were finding it difficult to concentrate on the task at hand because of the guys' occasional loud noise s outside, which was beginning to increase.

"You know, if you needed my attention, you could have just said so," He suddenly stated, out of the blue, eyes still glued to his screen.

"Huh?" You let out, not expecting him to even notice what you've been doing the whole time he was so immersed in his work.

"You heard me, love." He turned his chair around to finally look at you after hours of having his full attention on his homework.

"I'm not needy for your attention." you sneered, not wanting to appear 'needy' to him.

You hated that word. Needy. You were particularly insecure over having that trait in your relationship. You wished to prove to your boyfriend that you were just as responsible and self-sufficient as he had always been.

You frequently walked yourself home from school and even took precautions as to avoid spending too much time with him by only seeing him once or twice a week or texting him a lot but not too much to bother him. 

Even while you were out with all of your friends, you took care to keep your proximity to him to a minimum so as not to overly suffocate him. It was a pretty big deal to you.

"So you wouldn't mind if I keep going until Soobin calls us for dinner?" 

"Not at all." Your stubbornness took over as your y/e/c eyes never left the book.

So he continued studying for another couple of minutes and you were getting more impatient by the second. 'I fucked up.' you thought, remembering how much Taehyun truly sticks to his word.

You slowly started to fidget with the corners of the pages of your book, looking over your phone every now and then to try and find something to entertain you. Until, you finally broke. You stood up from the bed and headed over to where he sat to place your hands on his broad shoulders.

"Honey~" you called him out and him just humming back again in response.

Actually, he had finished the entirety of his worksheet a few minutes before. He was just pretending to do work to simply get a reaction out of you. The boy only wanted you to get over the shyness you still had, at least a bit, whenever you sought his attention or desired affection. To at least voice it out to him.

You spoke his name out once more, but he simply responded with another hum, seemed to barely acknowledge your calls.

"Can we... you know.."

"Huh?" His eyes still glued onto the PowerPoint he was currently 'studying'.

"...cuddle" You barely whispered out, not even sure if anyone could have heard what you just said.

"Excuse me... can we what, darling?" He teasingly replied.

As soon as you realized he was merely doing it to playfully taunt you, your stubborness resurfaced.  

"You know what, never mind." You immediately took your hands off of his shoulders, backing out of your previous statement and started to walk back to his bed.

You suddenly heard another loud squeal come from the living room, it was probably Yeonjun teasing Kai again. That's when the idea popped into your head. You started making a beeline for the door, trying to leave without muttering another word to your boyfriend.

"What do you think you're doing?" His eyes left the screen in front of him.

"Well, I figured the rest of the boys were just playing around outside, and since you're busy, I figured I could just get extra cuddles from Kai or Beomgyu, or something." You blurted, your novel still safely stored in your hand, as you inched closer to the door.

You then felt a soft hand grab your empty one, swiftly pulling you back. Your body was tenderly encircled by familiar arms from behind, and you felt his body's warmth envelop yours as his head rested on your shoulder.

"Just say it, please." You heard him barely mumbling it into your shoulder.

"Say that you want my attention. That you want me." He practically begged into your ear.

Since he was so close to you, you stammered out "I-I" as you felt his hot breath brush up against your neck like a feather.

"You don't have to look for it from other people, Y/N. I'm here." He reassured you before slowly guiding you back towards his bed.

You two simply lay there together as you gazed into his large, dark-brown eyes that nearly had the appearance of dark pearls. As he was witnessing your open gawking at him, he couldn't help but let out a soft giggle. 

"Why are you laughing so much." You pouted as he continued to tease you.

"I don't know, honestly. I just can't help the fact that I find you pretty cute." He remarked.

"Ugh, you're such a tease Kang Taehyun."

He then brought you in even closer before sealing the already little space between you with a gentle but hungry kiss.

--

"Were you really going to ask for cuddles from Beomgyu?"

"I think you missed the part where I also said Kai."

End.

[twinksintrees]

Please tell more about your playlists! I've been listening to some of them and I'm rll curious about why you put certain songs in playlists and ur anlysises on them!

thank you for the ask!! Bc this ended being way longer than I thought it would be, I’m only going to be focusing on one playlist here, but I will write up similar post for most of my other playlists as well. Today we will be focusing on my Glenn Close playlist.

Edit: a link to the playlist has been added below bc I forgot to put that in when I first posted lmao

Analysis under the cut

Carry on my wayward son: this might be one of the simplest to explain, and its because the cast themselves have joked and talked about how this song fits glenn, even going so far as to make the title to one of the most important glenn centric episodes. It has to be on there imo.

Highway to hell: this one is also simple to explain, glenn became a demon and went through his owm highway to hell, as it were. It also fits into his dad rock theme, as does carry on my wayward son.

I miss having sex but at least i dont want to die anymore: i dont have a real reason for this one honestly, i think i heard this song on a random playlist and it made me think of glenn? I think theres a version of glenn in my head that lives as a human and goes back to the human realm as normal with the other dads and this would be from his pov after he grows and gets older and does some healing i guess?? It doesn’t make a lot of sense ik.

Anna sun: this is one of the songs most closely (heh) associated with glenn in my head. This song makes me think of young glenn, fresh after morgan died, being left with a 7 y/o Nick and no idea how to cope with either of their grief. The chorus of “this house is falling apart” sung with more and more intensity makes me envision a scene where its young glenn, standing in a small, lonely apartment holding a tiny nick in his arms as he looks around, no idea what to do without his wife and best friend here to help him. The lyrics “we got no money, but we got heart” make me think of glenn, failing rockstar, determined to make a way for himself and for his son.

Sickly sweet holidays: i found this one on another glenn playlist, and the christmas theme was perfect, but also, the lyrics “im crying every day, i wish that you were here, when christmas comes this time each year” are so heartbreaking applied to him and morgan if its him singing that after shes gone.

Last christmas: it fit the christmas theme and i just liked the jimmy eat world version lmao.

Home: this song. just breaks me. The pain and the heartbreak and the tragedy of losing someone you care so deeply about just is glenn with morgan. The lyrics “and i got mad when they said that you weren't coming back to me, cause i hate hearing the truth” are crushing in this case especially because glenn does hate hearing the truth. He’s the type of person who avoids his problems until they slap him in the face. He does that with his grief, doesnt acknowledge his or his son’s pain, and it isnt good for him. For either of them.

Ghost of york: this song is on the playlist solely because it slaps and because of the lyrics “and from the corner of my eye/i saw you dressed all in white/i saw you pass right by/maybe i had too much wine/you never said goodbye” for me, this song speaks to a sad, depressed glenn mourning his wife and drowning his pain with drink, wishing he just had the chance to say goodbye one more time.

Afraid: “when i wake i'm afraid somebody else might take my place” i mean, this literally happened with him and jodie. The chorus is glenn talking shit about jodie. “It hurts but i wont fight you” is glenn accepting jodie as Nick’s new father.

Pope is a rockstar: i dont care i dont care if the lyrics are ‘pope is a rockstar’ Glenn sang ‘go little rockstar’ to nick when he was young and you can't change my mind.

Never love an anchor: oooohh boy. Oh boy. Pain. let's go. With the first lyrics alone “on some level i think i always understood/that these hands of mine were clumsy not clever/and i tried to do the best that i could/ but try as i might i could not bring myself to hold you” this is a very glenn song. Glenn Close was not meant to be a father, no matter how much he loved his son. In fact, with the next set of lyrics we’ll be looking at “a ship could never really love an anchor/so i did the only thing that i could/and severed the rope that set you sailing from my harbor” they can be tied directly to him making the choice to let nick go at the trial. “There are times when i still wonder about you/you are someone i have loved but never known” glenn still loves nick, but that's not the same nick he raised. He is someone glenn has loved, but never truly known after the swap with jodie. “You’ll never see the reasons i had/for keeping my claws away when they were close enough to hurt you” nick will never really know the choice, the sacrifice glenn made when he called for the switch. He will never know the pain glenn saved him from losing two parents. “I am selfish i am broken i am cruel” represents all of glenns self hatred and negativity. I think at certain points pf the podcast he genuinely believes all of those things about himself. “I am all the things they might have said to you” is glenn being terrified nick will end up exactly like him and so deeply hoping he doesn't.

The light behind your eyes: this song is from glenn’s pov in prison. “If i could be with you tonight/i would sing you to sleep/never let them take the light behind your eyes” the idea of him being able to get out and sing this for his friends around a campfire, or sing this softly to his son one last time keeps him going. “I failed and lost this fight/never fade in the dark/just remember you will always burn as bright” is glenn literally losing the court case and getting sentenced to the prison, he is the one fading in the dark, and the only thing keeping him going is the memory, the brightness, of his friends and of his son. I also think glenn sang this to nick as a lullaby when he was a little kid.

Death as a fetish: this song also represents glenns incredibly negative internal voice. The repetition of “i will never be good enough” is all of his internal thoughts that he will never open up about or share with anyone.

The soccer journals: read for a better explanation below

Hey there delilah: read the post linked below for an explanation. @that-one-queer-punk pointed this one out to me and actually wrote a fic based on it, and I’ve linked it below if you wanna check it out, it’s good shit.

Cold cold man: this for me is young glenn when he and morgan are just starting to get together. He’s very devoted to her and he truly believes “the only bed worth sleeping’s the one right next to you” he can appear to be smooth, suave guy who sleeps around, but he honestly enjoys a monogamous relationship and would never betray her that way.

Therapy: glenn needs therapy. Plain and simple.

[thisdreamplace]

hi dreamplace. i need some advice. i’ve been wanting to manifest having a hairless body because shaving is like a killer. 💀 it’s so frustrating seeing the 3d with unwanted bs. so i looked into laser hair removal today and I have enough money for the down payment but then i have to pay monthly for the rest. that sounds like shit for me. 😭😭😭 if a do it, i’ll have to force myself to find a job to pay it off. idek if that’ll work out well for me bc life has been such a struggle for me, sadly. in the end, i guess it’s best if I keep trying to manifest the hair away. bc the money situation stresses me out. so ig the i just need advice on, what do you do when the 3d is showing what you don’t want continuously?? it’s not even just the shaving that gets on my nerves, there’s a career path that I want but literally everything i want just never shows but it dangles in my face lol. just like the laser hair removal. i literally got a full consultation with the nicest woman ever. i got excited, just for my ass to not be able to do it. 🤣 it’s sad but i have to laugh. just ugh. i wish i had a secret code to finally get shit to go right for me, even the smallest things. 😩

hewwo <3

if the 3d is continuously not showing me what i want, i move into acceptance and surrender. bc im done. i'm not about to keep getting so caught up in smth when i have a choice, and could be using my time to enjoy whats going on in my present life. period !

here's the thing about it, u have to feel out ur feelings and allow them to be there. allow the disappointment and frustration but also surrender to it. it essentially feels like giving up. the thing is, u get a lot more clear about everything thru this and youre not so clouded by ur own fears anymore. for example, in ur ask u are so focused on how hard u think ur life is. but its like. to be fair i'm not going to tell u to keep sitting there and trying to force in ur hair being gone thru a manifestation bc clearly its been frustrating for u. however ! even after being so close to get what u want, instead of being open to it u went back to the drawing board talkin about some "even if i got a job whats the point nothing works out well" like !! wat ? how are u going to let life change and allow in ur blessings when u rather reject them... immediately ! so what if u fail ? u did smth different, u stopped pouting about lack and u tried to do smth u enjoyed. that counts for so much more than people give it credit for !! i would really urge u to stop using ur life till now as a blueprint and allow life, when it comes knocking with opportunities, and to allow yourself, to be open to whats coming into view for u. the more u focus on that and less on problems (past or imaginary) the more you'll see things shifting. thats just a fact ! plus i do wanna say too many of yall are obsessed with these wizard results (idk how else to call them rn) that u can't even see a success in front of you. and trust ik those type of successes exist bc it has happened to me plenty. but ALSO. life is a journey before it is wizards of waverly place. in my mind, i would have been like omg ! laser hair removal ! i can afford it rn and the consultation was great ! THIS MUST BE IT. but u saw it is as NOT a successful manifestation and ur saying maybe u should just sit there hoping ur hair disappears ? idgi. sometimes things just kinda appear, thats true. sometimes you actually go through a process and get to experience life. and that is amazing and exciting !

also emphasis on ALLOWING. allowing change, allowing opportunities, allowing emotions, allowing fears, allowing life to be what you want. bc rn this was a moment for u to see even if life gives u what u want, ur not going to allow it. but like a post i recently reblogged said, an anon was saying how they finally realized they already had so much of what they were sitting there thinking they lacked ! like omg, its so insane but so beautiful when we wake up to it. u only saw obstacles in that moment, which highlights ur focus ! let this be a moment of renewal and moving forward in an entirely diff direction ! <3

the secret code is fully you and the way you are perceiving life. its not any technique or challenge out there. our good doctor joe dispenza could really help u on this if u like reading. reading his book, "breaking the habit of being yourself" was the most pivotal thing for me to finally realize how i had been so caught up in who i thought i was, that i wouldnt even allow things to be different and yet i would sit there frustrated about why my 3d isnt shifting in the ways i intended. that book really makes you confront who you actually live as, and helps you start making the shifts into who you actually want to be. this is how your life begins to truly change.

#this ended up much longer than i intended #but i hope it is helpful <3

Hey :)

For your post concerning Ikeshot - would you maybe consider writing an Ikeshot Soulmate AU during the canon era?

Thanks in advance

left this in my drafts for the whole month bcs i was doing no content november which was definitely not used as an excuse of me not wanting to fight off my writers block heheheheheheheh spoiler alert : it was. but i got around to write this one so i hope it suffice! i mean i hope so bcs it ended up being 2.5k words long lol! 

So pls enjoy my canon era ikeshot soulmate au! the concept is where soulmate marks are in the form of the first things your soulmate says to you when you guys meet. also ik this will kinda flop since it’s a rarepair but pls do your best to not let it flop :) 

Ike doesn’t like the thought of soulmates. Not one bit. Well, at first he liked the idea of having someone out there waiting for him. He doesn’t need a mark of any kind to tell him that. He knows it on his own terms. But there was a little bit of excitement that exploded in his stomach when his soulmate mark appeared on his forearm. And it was… weird to say the least. 

He got his mark a year earlier than his twin brother, right on their 13th birthday. A delicate black writing engraved in the skin of his forearm. The soulmate mark stories he has ever heard were about people with sweet sayings engraved in their skin. It was all romantic, innocent, and soft spoken words tread lightly by the lips of their lover to be. But Ike’s? It was downright strange. None of those sappy and sweet stuff people say when the subject is about soulmates. Which is why Ike never bothered showing it off. He has heard enough jokes from Mike about that text. 

And here’s the kicker for his situation: despite getting his soulmate mark a year earlier, Mike was somehow granted the gift of getting a sweet soulmate line and meeting his soulmate first! That really pissed Ike off. 

He’s left with his thoughts on that subject this evening, carefully holding up his forearm while he lies on the top bunk he and his brother call their own. The words on his forearm echoes inside of his brain as he strokes the ink on his skin, blocking out the loud Lower Manhattan lodging house. He’s bound to meet his soulmate eventually. He’s sixteen for crying out loud! Mike met his when they were fifteen. So this mysterious soulmate of his has to turn up any time now. They have to. Ike doesn’t know how much longer he can keep himself entertained with stringless flings and flirtings with random guys in secret. 

Ike sighs desperately, dropping both his arms above his head and onto his thin pillow. He wished he was tired enough to go to sleep already since he doesn’t have anything to do before the lights go out in the lodge. He peaks down towards the lower bunk. Ike sees his brother fast asleep, cuddled into his lover’s embrace. Two chests, rising and falling at their own different slow pace. 

It’s not that Ike ever had a problem with Mike’s soulmate, the only problem is that Ike hasn’t met his and constantly feels lonely with the presence of the couple. Ike didn’t believe his brother when he said his soulmate turned out to be Jo Jo. Not only is Jo Jo practically a total opposite of Mike, Jo Jo is also out of his league. There’s no way a kind hearted, properly brought up, bright smiled boy would end up with a scruffy idiot like his brother. But the more time he spends with the two, the more he sees how compatible they are with each other. 

Ike is happy that they found someone to make each other happy, even in their sleep. He’s just sad for himself that he hasn’t found the one for him yet. Third wheeling is the worst thing Ike has ever discovered in his life. 

He sits back up properly, letting both legs dangle freely down the bunk. Ike puts on his newsie cap and his vest that was left hanging on the bedpost before jumping down the bunk. 

Unfortunately he wasn’t being careful and accidentally woke someone below him from the loud thud his feet made when it came in contact with the old wooden floor of the lodge. 

“Where are you… going?” a voice groaned.

Ike turns his head towards the lower bunk to see Mike lifting his head up slightly from where it was resting, rubbing his eyes a little bit to enhance his vision. He’d sit up straight, but one of his hands is strapped down to the mattress by a certain head full of brown curls. 

“Not tired yet. Think I’ll get myself busy” Ike replied. Before turning back to his original direction, he catches his brother’s eyes before he lets himself fall back asleep again, “Got a pack?” 

Mike snorts to himself with an eye roll, but it ends with a low chuckle. He gestures his head towards his vest left hanging up high on the bedpost, “Check my vest. I’se think there’s still half in there” 

Untangling the vest from itself, Ike sees one of its pockets forming a rectangular shape through the fabric. He slips his hand in it and fishes out a pack of cigarettes. His hand doesn’t feel the usual light weight of the tiny box he usually feels after getting himself a fresh pack. This one feels so much lighter, like there’s a lot of room in it. But Ike could still feel a few stems moving inside. 

“Don’t finish the whole thing” Mike added. 

Ike simply smirks down at him, turning around with the pack in hand. He calls out, “No promises!” 

“Pay me back if you do finish it!” 

“Also no promises!” 

“Little shitter” 

Ike turns his head around, and an offended look on his face as the twins’ old inside joke has resurfaced from the past. In the calmest way possible, yet still obviously annoyed, Ike voices out, “Fuck off, alright?” 

“No promises!” 

Mike laughs at his brother’s obvious annoyance. At the same time, Jo Jo starts to stir in his sleep. He stops laughing, directing his full focus on the boy shifting in his arms. Jo Jo groans as he flips to face away from Mike, letting out a long and peaceful sigh once he gets comfortable. 

Ike watches as his brother lays back down, holding Jo Jo a little tighter than before. The couple is enveloped back by their slumber just like before. 

There’s that jealousy resurfacing in Ike’s heart as his eyes linger at the sight of the lower bunk. But despite it, he is actually happy to see Mike like this. Being happy with his soulmate doing whatever. It’s a different kind of happy. It’s the kind that Ike longs for. 

He pushes that thought away for a while, walking through the loud lodging house. Some newsies went to sleep earlier, somehow being able to ignore all the commotion caused by their friends. Some are also just hanging out with others while they wait for the lights to go out. 

Ike chooses to be alone this evening. Accompanied by a cigarette or two, and maybe his own thoughts he’d like to sort out. He’d walk out the front door downstairs to smoke in an alleyway, but he knows the downstairs are currently occupied. Jack had warned everyone to avoid going downstairs because the borough leaders are having a little meeting. 

So Ike decides on the fire escape, since it already leads directly to the alleyway. Ike slips out the window, instantly noticing the lovely evening air. His only view is a dull brick wall with trash scattered around the ground, but he doesn’t really mind as the street ambience makes him feel less lonely. 

He notes the fire escape being a little wet, since it previously did rain a bit. He nearly slipped when he first stepped on the metal bars, but was able to balance himself pretty quickly. 

But to no avail, his feet clumsily slips away from their grip on the fire escape. It sends him falling down with a loud yelp, passing through the little gap in the fencing reserved for the ladder and onto the concrete floor in the dirty alleyway. 

Ike was disoriented when he rose back up from his fall. One hand on the ground to help support his back as he recovers from the impact, and the other rubbing the pain on his head away. He realized the pack of cigarettes is long gone. What he doesn’t realize is why the fall isn’t as painful as he thought it would be. 

He glances over to his legs, which he realized just now that it was tangled with something else. Someone else. They were groaning in pain as they rose back up. He catches a glimpse of the face once it was finally lifted off the ground, smudge by a little bit of mud. 

Oh shit.

Ike fell on another boy who obviously looks like he’s twice his own size. Not that he thinks he can’t take him on in a fight if he asks for one, but right now he’s too disoriented to even figure out how to punch straight. He quickly gets up on his feet, giving the stranger some space so he can recollect himself. 

“Oh look, the universe has thrown me a little shitter from the sky to ruin the rest of my already shitty day! Is there anything you can possibly do to magically make it better?!”

The words were uttered as the stranger got back up on his feet, revealing himself to be a tall and muscled figure. The mud also got on a little strand of his dark brown hair and his eyes were squinted with fury. But Ike wasn’t focused on any physical features this stranger has. He’s more focused with the words that he uttered. Words that Ike knows by heart by now. 

“What?” The stranger growled, deep and raspy. He realized the boy was astonished by something, but was certain it isn’t in any form of fear. 

“Do you have any idea how much shit I get with that written on my hand?! It made me look like I’m a fuckin’ dumbass my whole life!” Ike started his little rant, a little bit of rage building up from the pits of his stomach, “Oh, but of course I’se stuck with a huge asshole that doesn’t know how to be a decent human being and give a guy a break!” 

The stranger stays completely still, lips slightly parted. 

“How do you think I feel with that?” 

He shows his soulmate mark on his right forearm to Ike. A smaller font size and a longer paragraph written on his skin. Ike almost wanted to laugh. 

“Hey!” 

The two boys turn their attention towards the sound. Just outside the alleyway, right on the sidewalk where the rest of the world is, three tall men stood. There isn’t enough light for either boys to identify who they are, but given from the vague shadow they can sense trouble. 

As the three men take a few steps closer, letting a little lamp stuck to the wall illuminate their figures, they reveal themselves as the bulls. 

The boys activated their flight instinct, running towards the other end of the alleyway. The bulls chased after them while telling them to stop. Ike, being the smaller one, runs ahead and leads the chase. Hopping from one sidewalk to the other, crossing the roads without looking. 

Jacobi’s deli came into view in the corner of the block, despite being unlit. Ike kept running towards that corner and took a sharp turn. He makes another sharp turn towards an alley, just next to the deli. He hides in a little corner the deli has created. He has gotten away from so many troubles by hiding in this ‘wall bump’ because people miss it easily. 

He was surprised to see a large figure stopping right next to where Ike was hiding, huffing out heavy breaths of exhaustion. Ike said nothing at first, thinking it’s one of the bulls. He simply watches the figure hunching over their knees, trying to recollect themselves from the chase. 

But after a few seconds, he realizes it was the same boy he just met at the alleyway. His soulmate. To that, he widens his eyes and gasps under his breath. 

Oh crap, if he keeps on standin’ there we’ll get caught! 

“Hey!” Ike whisper shouted. 

The boy was still disoriented from all that running, but he was still able to pick up the voice. 

He saw Ike hiding in the corner, but didn’t think much of it. To that, the smaller boy just rolled his eyes and grabbed him by his suspenders to pull him to the little corner to hide together. 

Ike peaked behind the little wall hiding them to see if the bulls that were chasing them had passed. Just as he suspected, they were clueless as to where they could be. The bulls went past the alleyway. Until Ike was sure that they’re gone, he lets out a relieved sigh and turns back to where he is.

He was surprised to be met by a chest, but soon remembered that he had another boy hiding with him. A very tall one. 

Ike looks up to his face. The details are much clearer now. Brown locks, strong jawline, brown eyes, ivory tinted face with a few smudges of ash and dirt. The face sculptured... so perfectly. 

Ike only realized this now. Staring up at it, taking in every detail before him. Cheeks a little heated up when his head realizes how close they’re being. Chest to chest and Ike is up against a wall. 

And the other boy… he stared back. Just as frozen and shocked as he is. 

“I-I didn’t catch your name earlier” Ike mustered up the last bit of concentration to get that out. 

“My friends call me Hotshot” 

“Hotshot…” Ike repeated, nodding along without getting his eyes off of him. 

“But… you can call me Tyler. Y-y’know if you… wanna use my real name” Hotshot said with a little awkward cough at the end. 

“Oh…”

Ike has no idea what’s happening right now. All he knows is there’s a cute guy right in front of his nose, who is his so called soulmate. They’re hiding in an alleyway, and neither seems to want to move away. They were both caught off guard by the beauty their eyes are being presented with in front of them. 

“I-I’m Ike, by the way…” Ike added on, realizing he hasn’t said his name yet, “It’s short for Isaac. Y’know, ‘cause my twin brother calls himself Mike and we wanted to-- y’know what? That’s too long to get into…” 

The two share a heartfelt laughter. Their hearts pumping faster than before, the other being able to feel it right through their chest. 

“So uhh… Ike…” Hotshot started, still staring down at the smaller boy, “About what I said earlier…” 

Ike started to laugh, remembering what he meant. 

“I’s want to apologize… is all” 

“Y-yeah, the same goes for me!” Ike added, “Well, I don’t know if we should even apologize. We were supposed to say that to each other anyways!” 

Another heartfelt laughter, sounding softer than the first one. It somehow made the moment even more serious as it slowly died down. Their gaze hasn’t left the other’s. Nor, does it seem like they want to in the first place. 

“Ike, can I… try somethin’?” Hotshot suddenly asked. 

Ike simply nods, not having any clue as to what he meant. The message behind that was soon cleared the moment Hotshot softly crashed his lips against his, pushing his head backwards and gently pinning it to the wall behind him. Ike moves his hands up to pull him by his suspenders. Hotshot brushes his finger on his jaw, angling him up for a better kiss. Their lips moved in sync perfectly and it felt good. Just like how they would picture a first kiss shared by a soulmate.

"Paranormal night? I don't think so!" - Ikemen Vampire (Isaac)

TW ; vomit , mature language

@sciamchyafterdusk requested:

I saw your post with the halloween propts also i dont really know if im requesting this right i just got tumblr but Mc and isaac from ikemen vampire for 21 and 26 🥺🍁 I just think it would be really funny because I doubt isaac would believe in ghost probably just a prank from dazzi and arthur but, I think he’d deny it but secretly not so secretly be a scaredy-cat (also male reader but ik most people have female mcs so you dont have to write it if you dont feel comfortable with that!)

Sassy!Male!MC because I'm kinda tired of writing for beautiful perfect ladies that go STOP TEASING ME TEEHEE, blush over nothing and sing like disney princesses. (watch me do exactly that in the next piece I write)

+it's not a negative thing or anything as I'm the first one who likes to write for that type of trope but,, variety is very much needed every once in a while

21. “Oh my gaud, I think the crystal ball is working. The spirits are telling me you’re a dumbass.”

26. “I dare you to go down there.”

Isaac had no idea why he ever thought this could have been a good idea in the first place. Sitting by a candlelit round table, Dazai, Arthur, you and your lover were staring at a crystal ball placed in the middle of the wooden surface, hands ceremoniously joined together to form a circle.

The room was growing colder by the minute, as the local paranormal enthusiast decided that a fire would scare the spirits away. Despite the polar temperatures, you managed to keep your hand warm enough to try and offer some kind of support to your partner, Isaac, whose left hand was as cold as ice and even slightly trembling, though you kept any type of comment to yourself as you knew he wouldn't be pleased to have a third bully team up against him.

Unfortunately for both of you, the two writers' analyzing eyes were vigilant even in the darkness of the room, and they simultaneously decided to poke fun at the scientist as they waited for something to happen.

"Ai-chan, are you scared?" The Japanese teasingly inquired. "C'mon old Newt! Shouldn't you believe in numbers and science a little bit more? I'm sure your gravitational equation will come to save you if a ghost tries strangling you!~" The other man said, obviously aware of the hypocrisy of his statement. "Would you look at that..! You're shaking like a leaf and your expression is quite the amusing one..." Arthur added, slightly leaning forward to get a better look at his face. "C'mon, stop bullying him, you two." You whispered with a scolding tone.

You didn't exactly believe in these things, and yet the slight creepiness of the whole atmosphere couldn't quite let your heart remain completely unmoved. Just as you turned your eyes back on the transparent sphere, Arthur straightened like a board and with utmost earnestness exclaimed:"I can feel a presence... Dear Lord, look behind you Isaac!!"

"W-WHAT IS IT-?!" The fragile man half screamed, throwing himself to your side and squeezing your arm tightly, as if scared a supernatural entity would grab him from behind and drag him to Hell. The moment the exclamation left your lover's lips your eyes flew to the back of the room, noting with your own two pupils that there was absolutely nothing out of the ordinary there.

"Haa... you really are an impossible one Arthur." You said with a sigh while pinching the bridge of your nose. "I'm utterly serious when it comes to these things!" Said the English man with a slight pout marking his features. Then, an idea came to your mind.

The blue haired flirt always found an excuse to either tease you or your man, and a payback was the least you could do.

"Wait! Look at the sphere- no way... that's impossible..." You mumbled with an incredulous tone, making the best shocked expression you could manage. Three other pair of eyes moved to the crystal ball, focusing with all their might to try and see what you were talking about. "Do you see something??" Arthur's voice came out in a whisper, hushed and grave.

"Oh my gaud, I think the crystal ball is working. The spirits are telling me you’re a dumbass!"

"O-of course you didn't see anything- ghosts don't exist anyways..." Isaac whispered to himself, finally letting go of your arm and huffing in relief.

"MC!!! Take this seriously!!" Seeing the playboy so offended pleased you, and you responded with a hearty laugh. "Yeah well, I'm not really the biggest believer of these type of things. I'm still shocked the author of Sherlock Holmes is a fan of the occult, though!"

"Don't you dare mention that piece of trash in front of me!" Ah, there was his weakness. Whenever someone mentioned the detective, he'd lose his temper in the blink of an eye, becoming vulnerable to every type of teasing remark thrown his way. This was a tactic you had started using quite often whenever you wanted to help Isaac with all the mocking gibberish thrown his way.

"Now, now, let us not fight!" Dazai cut off your thoughts with his signature smile. "If we make too much noise, the oni might hear us and come our way"

"A what? ...can't you guys just stop with all the demon talk?" Isaac complained. "They clearly don't exist." He concluded.

"And even if they found us, would they stand a chance against three vampires? You should be scared of yourselves, not some stinky heap of darkness and evil. You can probably snap their necks like a twig with your superhuman strength." You added, looking at the two people sitting in front of you with narrowed eyes.

"Your words bring me an unimaginable amount of disapproval, MC" Did Arthur always need to have the last word on everything? "So do you." You remarked, finally standing up to make your way to the door, clearly done with the conversation.

Barely seconds after you stepped out in the hallway, you heard the sound of a chair sliding against the floor, followed by the familiar sound of shoes you had learnt to recognize anywhere.

"There's no way I'm staying in that room with those two tortures." Isaac scoffed. "I-I'd rather spend my time with you." His tone was shy, but when reaching for your hand, his touch was bold and yet gentle. At this display of cuteness, you couldn't help but softly press a kiss to his cheek before squeezing his hand in yours. "Shall we head back to your room then?" And as your question was answered with a nod, you two started walking down the dark hallway, hand in hand.

Newton's room was quite far from the small lounge you had borrowed for your spooky night, and minutes passed as a comfortable silence hung between the two of you, steps muffled by the red carpet of the hallway filling resonating softly in the empty corridor.

Letting your mind wander freely during the small walk, you went over the events of the day and the evening in particular. The firm words of scepticism you had thrown at Arthur's way suddenly tumbled on you all at once.

What if... what if something were to happen now? Wouldn't it be funny? How ironic would it be! It was a thought that made your heart race; the possibility of witnessing something uncommon, out of this world and probably life-threatening was something that had always attracted the human heart, and you certainly weren't an exception despite your earlier contradicting statement. Sure, you weighed rationalism way more than matters from the supernatural sphere, and yet you had already been proved wrong once when you arrived to the mansion. So maybe nothing was impossible, right..?

You unconsciously slowed your pace, as if wanting to increase the chances of seeing some kind of paranormal activity, and fortunately enough your twisted prayers were met in the strangest of ways.

Passing by the access to the staircase that took downstairs to the cellar, you heard the most curious of sounds. It wasn't perfectly audible from your position, but you could make out incoherent mumbling and sounds that were human but not quite. Seeing how you had stopped walking, Isaac called out to you. "MC..?" After a few seconds of unresponsiveness, you turned to him, curiosity and a hint of mischief in your excited orbs. "Isaac, I dare you to go down there.” His eyes widened in surprise, and before he knew what what happening, you were pushing his back down the steps, adding in a reassuring whisper:"Don't worry. I'm right behind you." But the way you gripped his shoulder didn't go unnoticed, and it reminded him of when he had done the same thing to you minutes prior. Perhaps, those words of encouragement served to placate your quivering spirits, now slaves to your immense curiosity. The scientist certainly couldn't blame you when it came to that, so he gulped down his fear and, in an spur of bold courage, made his way down the dark, old staircase.

What was driving him was possibly either the wish to appear a bit cooler in your eyes or his innate spirit of in inquiry, maybe both. Meanwhile the weird murmurs and rustles got stronger as you approached the end of the stairs, and with a heart thundering wildly in both of your chests, you peeked into the cold basement. What you saw was...

"What in God's name aRE YOU DOING HERE?!"

Theo, slumped against the floor next to Vincent and a pool of...liquids. The angel was whispering words in his brother's ear while drawing soothing circles with his hand on the man's back. Just as you and your lover stepped into the room a pair of blue eyes flew to your figures in a surprised manner, and the blonde's soft voice found its way to your ears.

"Can you guys... help me out?" He said, slipping his arm under Theo's armpit to try and raise him up while offering you an apologetic smile. "We went to the pub to celebrate my newest painting but I'm afraid he exaggerated a bit... He... Theo is so drunk he fell down the stairs"

At this phrase you burst out laughing and Isaac stifled a giggle at the idea of the gruff man tumbling down like a sack of potatoes, then nodded and moved to help the eldest Van Gogh. The moment your lover got next to to the now half standing drunk vampire, Theo emitted a guttural noise and painted his usual grey vest in a terrifying yellow-ish color that would've looked breathtaking on Vincent's canvas. If it hadn't been... vomit, that is.

As you saw the pink haired vampire stiffen up in disgust, you started laughing even harder, calming down ever so slightly once you remembered how horrible your loudness must feel to someone so hungover. After recovering some much needed air, you went to help the two porters who were struggling to open the door as Theo's wobbly legs threatened to make them all fly down the steps, a smile on your face.

The whole situation took a turn you certainly had never expected, but it satisfied you nonetheless. In such a big house, no moment was to be left to boredom, and you had learned to appreciate and love all these grownup babies so it now felt completely natural to spend a night like this. (One of them had captured your whole heart in particular)

...though you figured someone wasn't going to be equally happy with all the cleaning the next day.

[gabetms]

       hello everyone !! my name is sarry, i’m twenty-three and i’ll be playing my new child, gabriel ! i’m not really good in introducing myself, bc i never know what to talk about?? but yes, i’m really excited to write and to plot with u all, so here’s some things about gabe to help you get to know him a little more! you can reach me here or in discord for connections ;)

stats !

name: gabriel james peralta 

age: twenty-six

nicknames: gabe, abe, gabo or whatever you wish to call him!

sexuality: bisexual

occupation:  chef n’ youtuber

day of birth: september 8, 1994

zodiac sign: virgo

mbti type: isfj

positive characteristic: meticulous

negative characteristic: restrained

background !

gabe was born in the spotlight, mainly for being the first child of an nfl star with one of hollywood's most successful actresses. his father, martin peralta, came from lisbon to make his name in the football league and his mother, alice wyatt, was practically born to be a star, making her hollywood debut at the age of ten.

his parents never made much of a point of hiding him from the media, and it was recurrent to find pictures of the boy being picked up at school by his parents and all that stuff. paparazzi have always been constant in gabriel's life, and maybe that's why he hates them these days.

everyone expected him to follow in the footsteps of one of his parents, and there was a lot of anticipation as to whether gabriel would be the new football star or hollywood's new darling. the reality is that, despite being good at sports and enjoying watching his dad play, gabriel was a nerd at heart and had no acting talent whatsoever. he always liked to study and it never crossed his mind to drop out of school to venture into the world of fame.

in time, his two other siblings came along and the media began to let the boy aside a little, which was a relief to him. after finishing high school, he could have the freedom to choose what to do and went to france, with the aim of studying cooking, his greatest passion.

still in france he started his youtube channel to talk about cooking and what it was like to study about it, little by little getting a large number of subscribers. when he returned to the united states, he already had a solid base of followers and returned to being noticed by the media, having even participated in some reality shows as a judge.

extra info !

the boy knows how to sing, and on his youtube channel he usually posts some covers. he doesn't take it too seriously and just gets involved in music as a hobby that helps him relax.l

ikes to play sports without pressure too, and because he had contact with football all his life, he has a certain preference for it. he also swims and skates from time to time.

he is very focused on his work and takes cooking very seriously. he has always been one of the best in his class and even though he is still young, he is considered one of the best chefs of today, having high expectations about his future.

gabriel is quite reserved about his personal life, although he doesn't have a problem sharing some things. he has a certain charisma and gets along well with the cameras. but deep down he's a little shy, especially off cameras and with people he doesn't really know.

is a total nerd !! has a collection of action figures of which he is hugely jealous and occasionally streams games. he loves sci-fi movies and has a library at home where he has a small section just for comics and manga.

loves animals and have a dog named padfoot.

   i think that’s it! if you have any wanted connections or plot ideas just let me know and let’s make it real!

Don’t know if anyone’s gonna listen to me... I understand I keep repeating myself ad nauseam and that I’m probably being overly optimistic as usual but I actually believe that Star, Tom, and Marco will work something out and come together in a sweet, beautiful relationship that benefits all of them. I truly believe they’re together right now in fact. They have their whole lives ahead of them that they can now live together. Yeah I wish the show could’ve played some things out differently; we all do. It’s perfectly fine to be upset with the later half of the show and criticize it. I’ve especially heard many complaints on how Tom’s character was treated, and it’s ok to be upset about that. Even I have to admit that not everything went completely perfect in this regard. But... I also believe that if we keep focusing too much on the negatives like this, it’ll actually destroy us. We can’t succumb to anger. It breaks my heart seeing so many of my favorite artists on here become so completely broken because of this, and I wish I could help more than just ramble like this. Daron explained that she left the ending open for interpretation so we as the fans could fill in some blanks for ourselves, so...why can’t stomco be a reality in this case? Star and Marco will discover that Tom belongs with them as well. (Plus, like I’ve said before, he didn’t get paired off with Janna at the last second, so this is even more plausible 😉). They’ll apologize for how they treated him. Because, regardless of what anyone says, they love him so much, just as he loves them. So to everyone still suffering, especially my fellow stomco shippers, please consider the positive aspects. Ik it’s hard, and sometimes it’s easier to just dwell on the negatives. But the fact is; all our babies are happy, together and most definitely in a happy relationship, and imo, that should definitely outweigh the all this sadness.

One last thing I’d like to point out that also drives me insane: even some fellow stomco shippers have been saying that Tom won’t be friends with Star and Marco now and that they “hate” him. Seriously? Wouldn’t you rather imagine a happy future for all 3 of them? Doesn’t all this negativity just...wear you out? Of course, I respect this opinion if you truly believe this. But if this show’s made anything apparent about these 3, it’s that they have one of the strongest, most loving bonds I’ve ever seen, and I’m refusing to give up on them.

Come on, look at these babies and try to deny they aren’t all in love 💞💞

And pls, no hate. If you don’t ship stomco and see this post, don’t comment. This is my interpretation, and it’s as valid as everyone’s. So pls be respectful :))

[vicisse]

love ur meta post on the darkling! but i have to ask: what are your thoughts on mal? i get that it’s a loaded question bc so many people hate him, but… i’m curious as to what you think!

thanks, anon! fjeozks tbh, that is a bit of a loaded question, but i don’t mind answering. the truth is, i don’t hate mal. i like him just fine—actually, i like him enough to wish leigh had written him better.

if she had planned for mal/alina all along, i think it would have been better if he, idk, actually treated alina better? i mean, he’s supposed to be alina’s best friend! 

i think it would have been better if he showed more concern for her in s&b and didn’t kiss zoya in s&s. i also think it would have been better if he had his character development sooner (s&s) rather than later (r&r), because we don’t really see the build up of a relationship between him and alina. the build up is important to me—should be important to other readers as well—because it gives us a reason to root for them, root for mal, regardless of whether or not he was a love interest for alina.

ik you didn’t ask for a meta, but while i’m in that analytical zone… here i go:

in s&b, our first impression of mal is someone funny and charismatic—someone alina is very much in love with. it irked me, when i read it the first time, because i couldn’t understand why alina would like someone who treated her poorly. i get that there’s obviously miscommunication at work—alina doesn’t bother opening up to mal about some things, so mal doesn’t get the hint, but… i can’t help but think mal should have been there, especially as someone who is supposedly alina’s best friend.

according to alina (and mind you, she’s an unreliable narrator), mal has been more distant as they went about their training for the first army. he had less time for her and was more focused on tumbling girls. i’d just really like if mal realized this, too—and talked to alina about it sooner.

actually, i just wish we had seen more mal/alina pre-darkling. because TD is a catalyst in the dynamic between mal and alina. once mal sees that alina is seemingly happy in this new place, among new friends—happy without him—of course he gets upset. and alina is upset because it looks like mal doesn’t like this better, more comfortable sense of self she has discovered at the little palace, but in reality… mal feels left behind. while alina was gone, he worked tirelessly to get her back, only to see that she was perfectly fine and hardly seemed to care about him. of course, he’s upset.

it doesn’t excuse him from snapping at her the way he did, but he’s rightfully mad. and a little heartbroken, too.

i don’t like how leigh writes the dynamic between mal/alina to be a “i didn’t realize what i had until it was gone,” kind of thing. because mal, as alina’s best friend, should have already known what a treasure she is. he should have been more aware of his actions and owned up to acting like a complete dick sooner rather than later. it really, really would have won him some brownie points, but again: i understand that leigh intended to write these characters with flaws, no matter how glaring or irritating i see them as.

i think mal is the most realistic character out of the grishaverse. the reason why he’s always so upset and frustrated is because things are moving way too fast—alina recognizes this too late, by the time s&s rolls around, but i have a mad amount of sympathy for mal.

not only does he have to get used to the fact that his best friend is grisha—a sun summoner, no less—but he also has to come to terms with the fact that the once timid, meek girl he grew up with has come out of her shell and quickly embraced her role in, essentially, saving the world. talk about going from 0-100 real quick.

his head is spinning, and it’s all he can do to stay on his feet, to focus on not losing alina. not again. but see, that’s what’s important to him. it’s selfish, but after having to re-prioritize and re-examine what he wants, alina is speeding ahead, in a bulldozer, talking about finding amplifiers and taking over the second army and all of a sudden, he finds himself at the heart of a civil war he never intended to be a part of. he just followed alina, because, as he only now realizes, he loves her!

which is why the scene in s&s grates on my nerves because it’s the one thing i can’t wrap my head around. if he loves alina so much, why hurt her like that?? it’s one thing for THE DARKLING to do it—to hurt her i mean; after all, he’s the villain for a reason, so i wouldn’t surprised—but mal? the guy who is supposed to he her best friend? i’m unbelievably upset. and i can’t believe alina still forgave him for it. you wouldn’t do anything drunk you wouldn’t already consider doing sober, so that scene really stung. it’s pretty much the one thing keeping me from ever truly liking mal, even as a character.

i’m not saying that just because mal is “one of the good guys” automatically means he should be an angel when it comes to morality, but i honest to god truly think that leigh could have just milked the miscommunication between them more. like i say before: all characters come with flaws, but that moment was just… Too Much. he knows alina loves him, has put her life on the line for him, but he still chose to hurt her. i’m appalled. absolutely appalled.

good on him for taking a step back from that selfish behavior and working on getting alina to accomplish her goals, on finding happiness even if it means a life without him in r&r, but too little too late! i think it would have been better if him and alina had rekindled their friendship instead of starting up a romance.

now that would have been something worthwhile—and far more realistic than that bullshit ending.

by the time r&r starts, mal and alina are both different people than who they thought they were in the beginning of s&b. it makes sense to be friends first and relearn to love each other in a romantic way later. it just makes sense!

ughhhh this got a little topic. i’m just frustrated with mal—frustrated with all of alina’s love interests, actually, save for nikolai, but. that’s for another time.

tl;dr: mal should have been written better. mal should not have kissed zoya. mal should have rekindled a friendship with alina before a sudden romantic one. mal is a good character with realistic, albeit frustrating flaws, and doesn’t deserve as much hate as he has received.

MarthIke for the ship meme!!!!!

send me a ship and i’ll tell you

who hogs the duvet

Ike, much to Marth’s dismay. He just kinda grabs whatever’s within reach in his sleep and builds a nest overnight. Marth just hopes he gets pulled in along the way because there’s no winning a tugging war against Ike.

who texts/rings to check how their day is going

they both do ! I’d say it might be more of a reflex to Ike, he’s generally a little less busy than Marth and the one who has just enough free time to stop and realize he wishes he could see his person that day, which will usually prompt him to text or call. Although it’s also totally something Marth does when he checks the time and knows for sure that Ike is on break or just available to a degree

who’s the most creative when it comes to gifts

I think that would go to Ike; while Marth is the kind to go all out and stress himself into exhaustion to find the perfect gift, it usually ends up something fairly traditional or meaningful but that still stays within the bounds of what can be expected. Ike’s ideas are probably more original.

who gets up first in the morning

Marth ! Almost always has stuff to do in the morning and usually wakes up early anyway. Ike will be up early if he has something going on but he will not be happy about it and if he doesn’t then he’ll just sleep in until he’s downright sick of being in bed

who suggests new things in bed

Probably Ike. Marth has conducted a few experiments of his own but Ike’s the one who’s actually outright suggested things like collars and bondage. Ike has more “exotic” kinks as well I believe so I wouldn’t be surprised if that trend kept going.

who cries at movies

If anyone it’d be Ike, the big softy can’t accept that that one dog had to die

who gives unprompted massages

they both do, actually ! they both gladly get onto the other’s case without them asking for it on a regular basis. Ike knows about Marth’s secret weak spot and is not afraid to use it, especially when he’s around to see how much time Marth spends bent over a desk or with his back too straightened up while in other people’s presence, and Marth has been able to take notice of just how damaging Ike’s training and fighting methods can be to his back and shoulders, so whenever the opportunity shows itself, one of them gives the other a good rubdown.

who fusses over the other when they’re sick

again, both of them. Mostly out of simple care and concern, but Marth also knows Ike rarely becomes ill so he worries twice as much as he should when that happens, whereas Ike knows it was never his family or friends that cared for Marth when he was sick growing up and wants to make up for it now with extra care and affection. 

who gets jealous easiest

I think I would say Marth ? It might just be because so far only Ike has been actively coveted by others, but I think it’s also fairly safe to assume Marth is the most insecure and/or possessive of the two.

who has the most embarrassing taste in music

err, neither ? Unless you consider Marth’s especially nerdy appreciation of classical music embarrassing, but he definitely isn’t any kind of embarrassed about it himself. Admittedly I’m not 100% familiar with Ike’s taste in music, I assume he’d be into rock/alternative a lot but maybe he secretly enjoys cheesy pop songs, who knows

who collects something unusual

haha, both of these were brought up a long time ago but I’m glad I get to talk about them publicly. So, regular verse, Marth - modern verse, Ike

Ike travels a lot for his job and as expected, these two miss each other a lot when he’s on the road. To make the wait more bearable, Ike has developed a habit over the years of gathering little somethings during his travels, little tokens of his adventures that he then presents to Marth upon his return. Marth has dedicated a couple of shelves to them in his room and treasures them and the meaning they have.

In modern AU, Marth is a compulsive post-it notes user. He always has  some on himself and uses them extensively, to jot down important stuff as well as to scribble little reminders. It’s come to the point where if he has some within reach and a pencil in his hand, he’ll start scribbling down key words about random thoughts he’s having in the moment. One night, he was helping Ike study for a test, and while doing so, started randomly making notes of Ike’s qualities and things he likes about him in general and sticking them to him. Ike kept focusing on his studying for a while and only got to read the notes once he was done. He secretly kept them and put them up on a little board in his room. Marth doesn’t know still, but ever since he’s made a habit of writing down sweet little nothings on post-it notes and giving them to Ike every now and then, slipping them in his lunchbox, under a plate he knows he’ll have to clean up at work, or just when they’re spending quiet time together for whatever reason and he wants to tell him something without breaking the silence. Ike collects them all.

who takes the longest to get ready

Marth. Neither of them take very long but if anyone it would be Marth; he takes more time to bathe because he enjoys it whereas Ike is out as soon as possible; Marth actually puts some minimal thoughts into how he’s gonna dress for the day whereas Ike just grabs whatever stinks less; Marth will take a moment in front of the mirror to clean up his face and tame unruly strands of hair if unruly strands of hair there is whereas Ike doesn’t give a fig. All in all I’d say it takes Marth a good 5 to 15 more minutes getting ready.

who is the most tidy and organised

Marth by a mile. Being organized is a very important principle of his, and he doesn’t see the point in letting clothes and sheets and stuff sprawled on the floor or hanging off furniture it shouldn’t be hanging off of if the idea is to either keep them clean until they’re used or to get them cleaned up at the earliest opportunity. Ike is more of a “I know where I put it, therefore it’s in the right place, wherever that is” kind of person. 

who gets most excited about the holidays

I’d say originally it was Ike, but with Marth now being more or less part of his family, he probably is now very much looking forward to holidays as well.

who is the big spoon/little spoon

Ike is big spoon, Marth is little spoon

who gets most competitive when playing games and/or sports

They both do, honestly. They’re both stubborn and competitive; pitting them against each other is basically guaranteeing a never-ending battle or an extreme quantity of salt for whoever the loser turns out to be.

who starts the most arguments

hmmm I wanna say they don’t argue a whole lot, but if anyone probably Marth ? He’s used to reading between the lines, so when he gets very insecure he tends to ignore part of Ike’s bluntness and assume he’s implying things he’s not and such, which can lead to misunderstandings and arguments. 

who suggests that they buy a pet

Ike. Doesn’t suggest, begs. Not a pet, multiple pets. All of the pets. And also adopt the litter of stray kittens and rescue all those dogs. All of them.

what couple traditions they have

I don’t think they have any yet, actually ? Aside maybe from honey kisses. Having Ike ingest a lot of honey and then kissing to share the taste is somewhat of a celebratory gesture at this point.

what tv shows they watch together

That’s a very good question, honestly, I don’t know many TV shows at all. The only thing I know Ike watches is like, those nature shows, which sure, Marth would love to watch with him. It’s very calming.

what other couple they hang out with

None, I don’t think ? Nothing that’s been confirmed at this point in time at least. I’d assume they have meals with Merric and Elice on a regular basis after getting married. They’re also still often around the rest of the Greil Mercs, so if anyone gets in a relationship there, that would include them too ? But nothing set in stone yet– that I can think of.

how they spend time together as a couple

Do I really have to answer this ? They do everything together.

who made the first move

It was Ike ! At least in our main verse, we haven’t determined anything in the others. But it was Ike who took a leap of faith and went in for the kiss.

who brings flowers home

Neither, Ike is allergic to flowers.

who is the best cook

they both lack a bit in cooking experience, but I’d say Ike. He cares more about food than Marth and therefore is probably more invested in the making of it and has more flair for it. I am also fairly sure at this point in time that he tries to make a habit of cooking regularly and experiment a bit.

Advance Business Development Coaching

Business development and Marketing

Before I came to Amsterdam to study Business and Economics, I worked in a bank in my hometown, Munich and I left his Bank for one particular reason, because even though the people there earn sufficient amounts of money, they all seemed dissatisfied with their life.

They were frustrated with their career opportunities, they were unhappy with their relationships and they were constantly stressed out, but these people – they all had one thing in common – they did not want to change it and even outside of the bank.

I kept on meeting people who were unhappy with their lives but unwilling to change them, and every time these people saw somebody who had a great relationship who was happy with his job or who sees the great opportunity and was successful.

Most people just said that this person was at the right time at the right spot and got lucky. We all know it right. However, when you study marketing, you realize pretty quickly that products are always at the right time at the right spot.

So at this point I started looking at my marketing book in a different way. Instead of learning for my exams or learning in order to help a company, I started learning for myself. I looked at, I thought.

How can I learn from this? What can I learn from these techniques and I came up with an idea worth spreading now I need a one year. I’m gonna present some theories now and if you’re expecting life-changing knowledge from these Furies.

I’m, sorry to let you down, but if you’re guessing that these theories are like empty jars, you need to fill with your own knowledge and your own insight. You’re, an outstanding guesser. So if you study marketing, you’re, not a stranger to this for blocks.

They call the four PS and four C’s of business development and marketing. The 4Ps Marketing Mix is a business oriented model, which includes product, price, promotion and place. The newer 4Cs of marketing model was meant to be a more consumer-orientated version. It includes Consumer, Cost, Communication and Convenience.

The 4C’s focuses the marketer on targeting niches rather than mass markets. Then these need to be the foundation of your business development, marketing, and every product lunch. No product enters the market without filling these four blocks. And tonight we’re, going to launch you, so the first one is the product in the customer needs the product.

Are you yourself and all the capabilities? You have, and the customer needs are the needs of the people you need for your success and your product has to match these needs. However, customer needs are something really tricky, because something else does your unstated secret need, and tonight I guess this unstated secret need is that you want to go home at the end of the day.

Now these uncertainties are really hard to find and if you find the secret needs, you can be sure that you have a massive competitive advantage, but I can tell you what they are. You have to find it yourself and the only advice I can give you on this is never ever ever.

Try googling them. There are secret needs. You don’t want to know about now. Your product has to meet the customers needs and most of the time when you do it for the first time, you will realize that it doesn’t, but don’t.

Be sad about it, because the process is called R & amp D, which stands for research and development and not research and depression. Even though you realize that your product doesn’t meet the customer needs, you can still develop it’s.

Never too late for personal development, my grandpa is 83 years old and he’s. Learning English right now, just so, he can watch this video. What’s? Your Excuse now? Who, in this room ever wanted to be a rockstar or famous DJ, that’s, quite a lot right and why shouldn’t you if somebody would come up with a contract and won’t me ask me: you want To sign up to be a rockstar, I would take it immediately all the fame and fortune fast cars giving concerts in front of 100,000 people.

That would be great, but that’s. Just half of the story, because who in this audience actually is a rockstar and the reason why so many people fail to become a rockstar it’s. The same reason why I never became one because when I started playing guitar at the age of 16, this man was my idol.

His name is John Butler here at his own TED talk in Sydney and he started playing at the age of 16 as well. Now, how did John Butler become an outstanding guitar player and I didn’t. It’s because he dedicated himself to it well played once or twice a week.

He played every free minute. Well, I was too shy to play in front of people. He went out busking in the streets and while I played it safe and went to university, he quit University just to pursue a career in music.

Now I’m, not trying to inspire anybody to quit the university right away and just go out busking in the streets, but next time you see somebody successful ask yourself: what are his costs? Because this didn’t come for free? There must be some costs behind it and then ask yourselves: would you be willing to pay it because when people are told about the countless hours of practice the endurance needed and the risks involved in becoming a rock star, most of them don’t want to do it anymore.

But if it still sounds tempting to you, you should go for it now, after figuring out your product, your customer needs your price, your costs, it’s time to think about how to let people know you’Re out there, because life is just basically like a big supermarket in a big supermarket.

People are exposed to 300 products per minute, and this little girl could be your customer. She could be anybody, your future boss, or even your wife, and all these products around her. Okay, I know you for 20 years, but all these products around her are potential future husbands, just like you.

How should she know for which one to stop take it out of the shelf and put it in a shopping cart. We have a product, we have a concept for this as well, it’s called Aida, and it has nothing to do with this boat company Aida stands for attention, interest, desire and action.

So the first thing you need to do to be successful in business development or marketing is grab the customers attention. You can do that with anything. It could be a smile. When you’re enter into the room, it could be a nice hat, a flashy outfit or you can simply stand on the red carpet on the stage right in front of them.

Once you grab the attention, you need to create an interest within them. So that happens by displaying the attributes you thought about which they want and because you thought about it, this attributes create create a desire in them because their ex you’re, exactly what they need and that ultimately leads to the action part.

It sounds a bit weird when talking about dating may be better with products, but it’s really essential, because in the market, as well as in life, it’s, not the product which is the best which gets sold the most.

But it’s, the best promoted product which gets sold the most and now you can go for all these steps and still fail simply because people don’t know where to buy you. They don’t know where to find you.

This applies to every single life situation, but in my case I just really like the dating example. So we’re, going say with that. So when I was 16 in Germany, that’s, the age when you’re allowed to go out drinking.

So I went to nightclubs with my friend also because we thought that is the prime ik place to meet women now. Were we successful at meeting women at nightclubs? No, were they even a realistic chance for us to meet women at nightclubs? Not at all? Why not? Only because of this, this could have worked.

It’s because an average German nightclub there’s, 80 % men and 20 % women there’s, a massive oversupply of men, which leads to greater competition, less success. Now I still manage to solve this problem.

I wish I could tell you oh yeah, i enhance my product and I went out into them or not that’s, not what happened. What happened was that I simply positioned myself differently. To be honest, my mother positioned me differently because she signed me up for standard dancing, lessons that was the reaction of my friends as well, but after one hour of standard dancing, I was not even mad anymore because from an economic perspective that was amazing, there was A room full of women such an oversupply, such a high demand for a guy like me, so little men, so a little supply.

It was like a supermarket with more customers and products. That was great. I went overnight from being a free in the club to a 9:00 at dancing, or maybe a 7, but still improvement. So what we can learn from this is that sometimes you need to consider all the options, because sometimes the place, which is the most obvious to meet your customers, is not the place where they need you.

After filling out all these four boxes there’s, one major question left for tonight: why do people when we can analyze our situation and position us in the market would attribute sex they? Why would they attribute success solely to luck and the answer for is this? We tell ourselves that other people are lucky for the same reason.

We take a pill when we have a weight problem or we drug our children. When you’re hyperactive, we have a problem and we’re looking for a solution, and this one is easy: it’s fast and it’s effortless, but it’s also a dead-end because Rather than tackling the root of our set as dissatisfaction the cause of our problems, we just swallow a lock pill and number selves to all the symptoms.

But will this luck pill? We also number selves to all the great opportunities this world has to offer and we constrain ourselves in developing our personal best. I was at this point when I was in the bank.

I was just as dissatisfied as all my colleagues, but I didn’t swallow the luck pill. What I would in was, I analyzed. What am I good at? I positioned myself differently. I moved to answer then to enhance my product.

You’re unhappy with your relationships. You don’t like where your life is going or you simply feel like your life. Could be so much better, you have two options. You can either swallow the lock pill and go on with business as usual, or it can analyze your situation, take action and truly change the game.

Advance Business Development Coaching

Business development and Marketing

Before I came to Amsterdam to study Business and Economics, I worked in a bank in my hometown, Munich and I left his Bank for one particular reason, because even though the people there earn sufficient amounts of money, they all seemed dissatisfied with their life.

They were frustrated with their career opportunities, they were unhappy with their relationships and they were constantly stressed out, but these people – they all had one thing in common – they did not want to change it and even outside of the bank.

I kept on meeting people who were unhappy with their lives but unwilling to change them, and every time these people saw somebody who had a great relationship who was happy with his job or who sees the great opportunity and was successful.

Most people just said that this person was at the right time at the right spot and got lucky. We all know it right. However, when you study marketing, you realize pretty quickly that products are always at the right time at the right spot.

So at this point I started looking at my marketing book in a different way. Instead of learning for my exams or learning in order to help a company, I started learning for myself. I looked at, I thought.

How can I learn from this? What can I learn from these techniques and I came up with an idea worth spreading now I need a one year. I’m gonna present some theories now and if you’re expecting life-changing knowledge from these Furies.

I’m, sorry to let you down, but if you’re guessing that these theories are like empty jars, you need to fill with your own knowledge and your own insight. You’re, an outstanding guesser. So if you study marketing, you’re, not a stranger to this for blocks.

They call the four PS and four C’s of business development and marketing. The 4Ps Marketing Mix is a business oriented model, which includes product, price, promotion and place. The newer 4Cs of marketing model was meant to be a more consumer-orientated version. It includes Consumer, Cost, Communication and Convenience.

The 4C’s focuses the marketer on targeting niches rather than mass markets. Then these need to be the foundation of your business development, marketing, and every product lunch. No product enters the market without filling these four blocks. And tonight we’re, going to launch you, so the first one is the product in the customer needs the product.

Are you yourself and all the capabilities? You have, and the customer needs are the needs of the people you need for your success and your product has to match these needs. However, customer needs are something really tricky, because something else does your unstated secret need, and tonight I guess this unstated secret need is that you want to go home at the end of the day.

Now these uncertainties are really hard to find and if you find the secret needs, you can be sure that you have a massive competitive advantage, but I can tell you what they are. You have to find it yourself and the only advice I can give you on this is never ever ever.

Try googling them. There are secret needs. You don’t want to know about now. Your product has to meet the customers needs and most of the time when you do it for the first time, you will realize that it doesn’t, but don’t.

Be sad about it, because the process is called R & amp D, which stands for research and development and not research and depression. Even though you realize that your product doesn’t meet the customer needs, you can still develop it’s.

Never too late for personal development, my grandpa is 83 years old and he’s. Learning English right now, just so, he can watch this video. What’s? Your Excuse now? Who, in this room ever wanted to be a rockstar or famous DJ, that’s, quite a lot right and why shouldn’t you if somebody would come up with a contract and won’t me ask me: you want To sign up to be a rockstar, I would take it immediately all the fame and fortune fast cars giving concerts in front of 100,000 people.

That would be great, but that’s. Just half of the story, because who in this audience actually is a rockstar and the reason why so many people fail to become a rockstar it’s. The same reason why I never became one because when I started playing guitar at the age of 16, this man was my idol.

His name is John Butler here at his own TED talk in Sydney and he started playing at the age of 16 as well. Now, how did John Butler become an outstanding guitar player and I didn’t. It’s because he dedicated himself to it well played once or twice a week.

He played every free minute. Well, I was too shy to play in front of people. He went out busking in the streets and while I played it safe and went to university, he quit University just to pursue a career in music.

Now I’m, not trying to inspire anybody to quit the university right away and just go out busking in the streets, but next time you see somebody successful ask yourself: what are his costs? Because this didn’t come for free? There must be some costs behind it and then ask yourselves: would you be willing to pay it because when people are told about the countless hours of practice the endurance needed and the risks involved in becoming a rock star, most of them don’t want to do it anymore.

But if it still sounds tempting to you, you should go for it now, after figuring out your product, your customer needs your price, your costs, it’s time to think about how to let people know you’Re out there, because life is just basically like a big supermarket in a big supermarket.

People are exposed to 300 products per minute, and this little girl could be your customer. She could be anybody, your future boss, or even your wife, and all these products around her. Okay, I know you for 20 years, but all these products around her are potential future husbands, just like you.

How should she know for which one to stop take it out of the shelf and put it in a shopping cart. We have a product, we have a concept for this as well, it’s called Aida, and it has nothing to do with this boat company Aida stands for attention, interest, desire and action.

So the first thing you need to do to be successful in business development or marketing is grab the customers attention. You can do that with anything. It could be a smile. When you’re enter into the room, it could be a nice hat, a flashy outfit or you can simply stand on the red carpet on the stage right in front of them.

Once you grab the attention, you need to create an interest within them. So that happens by displaying the attributes you thought about which they want and because you thought about it, this attributes create create a desire in them because their ex you’re, exactly what they need and that ultimately leads to the action part.

It sounds a bit weird when talking about dating may be better with products, but it’s really essential, because in the market, as well as in life, it’s, not the product which is the best which gets sold the most.

But it’s, the best promoted product which gets sold the most and now you can go for all these steps and still fail simply because people don’t know where to buy you. They don’t know where to find you.

This applies to every single life situation, but in my case I just really like the dating example. So we’re, going say with that. So when I was 16 in Germany, that’s, the age when you’re allowed to go out drinking.

So I went to nightclubs with my friend also because we thought that is the prime ik place to meet women now. Were we successful at meeting women at nightclubs? No, were they even a realistic chance for us to meet women at nightclubs? Not at all? Why not? Only because of this, this could have worked.

It’s because an average German nightclub there’s, 80 % men and 20 % women there’s, a massive oversupply of men, which leads to greater competition, less success. Now I still manage to solve this problem.

I wish I could tell you oh yeah, i enhance my product and I went out into them or not that’s, not what happened. What happened was that I simply positioned myself differently. To be honest, my mother positioned me differently because she signed me up for standard dancing, lessons that was the reaction of my friends as well, but after one hour of standard dancing, I was not even mad anymore because from an economic perspective that was amazing, there was A room full of women such an oversupply, such a high demand for a guy like me, so little men, so a little supply.
