Tumblr media
bang chan
out of the year or so you two have dated, you haven't failed to notice how observant chan is. even if its something very small thats different about you, he will always point it out.
"there's a bruise on the side of your thigh, what happened?" he would ask, concerningly.
even when you get new clothes, he notices. "are those pants new? they look good on you" he says with a grin on his face. you're starting to believe his brain has yo enter new data everytime theres something different about your appearance.
or the time where you had come back from hanging out with your friends, and the next morning he said "did you get a new piercing? your ear has an extra hole."
chan would point out. this specific scenario ended up with your reply, "channie, how did you even notice...? i took the piercing out already." which thoughtfully, he responded "what can i say, the longer i look at your the more i notice"
lee know
when someone says "dont judge a book by its cover" it definetly applies to people, especially lee know. before getting to know him, he was a completely different person. he cares more than you'd think, almost too much you'd feel like a burden.
like the one time you went out to a private club to celebrate a friend's birthday. you had gotten a little more than tipsy, accidently calling lee know to tell him "how much you miss your boyfriend" and "i need a hug from my boyfriend right now" which gave him the signal to drive his car out to pick you and your friends up, even letting them stay the night at your house.
everytime your mood even changes slightly, he gets worried. even if nothing had even happened to you. he always asks "are you okay love?" and makes sure to take over cooking for that night (and cook very well, mind you) he just wants to make sure you're always happy, because if you're sad, he's sad.
changbin
one thing about changbin is that he's always worried about you. especially for your safety. sometimes it gets a little out of hand, he freaked out when you tripped while you were walking after your date.
you were wearing a new pair of shoes you hadn't gotten used to.
of course, you hadn't fallen to the ground. you kept your balance before you could fall. although, with his quick reflexes he grabbed your waist to pull you back up. (even though you werent going to fall)
changbin being the person he is, proceeded to say, "i know we just went on a date, but dont hurt yourself falling for me sweetheart." you lightly shoved him, annoyed at the cheesy line and embarassed at the petname. to make sure you didnt hurt yourself again, he kept one of his hands on your back, as if he was guiding the way.
hyunjin
no matter how many people are in a room, hyunjin is always looking at you. you first noticed this a little after you had first met. your roomate had invited jisung over, which led to hyunjin coming too. you were all having a conversation at the dinner table, but the only thing you could focus on was the way
hyunjin was looking at you so intensely.
later when you two had eventually starting dating, you had come to discover that was his "im interested in this thing infront of me" face. like how he stared at paintings in an art gallery he found interesting, he stared at you in the same amazement.
another time was after you decided to become a trainee. you and 7 other nee friends were going to perform a cover of one of stray kids' songs. this was a few years after they debuted, and since you two began dating before his debut, obviously he was thrilled when you were on stage covering his song. you could see him in the vip area, embarassingly blowing kisses and hearts at you. he had on a "disguise" but you could tell it was him from a mile away.
han jisung
jisung is overly thoughtful. he likes to express his love for you through words, and tries to do it regularly, as if you're going to forget he loves you. one of the ways he expresses this undying love for you is through sticky notes. specifically, he bought different colors for everyday of the week.
for the days you came back from work late, he left a note on the kitchen counter, usually resulting in seeing him asleep on the couch with the tv playing. you felt bad he tried to stay awake in order to see you when you got home, but his effort was appreciated. the notes usually consisted or something like, "y/n! i hope you had a good day at work, even if you didnt i'm still proud of you. theres food in the fridge for you! - love hannie"
the other way he expressed his love for you was through his music. you went to the studio to suprise him one time, and overheard on a conversation including chan and changbin. they were complaining about how all of the songs han wrote were love songs. you could tell they appreciated it, but an entire album can't be love songs. it was even more embarassing for han when you had accidently heard one of his unreleased songs, a sweet love song, lyrics flowing perfectly with his voice.
felix
one habit felix will never get out of is touching. even before you dated, you could tell he was a skinship person. no matter what, he feels the need to touch you at all times. whether its a hug, holding hands, or even touching your fingers. you don't mind of course. you think its sweet.
he even admitted that theres this feeling of uneasy-ness when he isn't near you. even if you are near eachother, he has the urge to do something in order to be touching you, like a sense of overprotecting.
even doing simple things, like while making dinner, he has to be hugging you from the back. or while you're cutting up some vegatables, he feels the need to guide your hand while you cut, as if it was the first time you picked up a knife. whenever you walk side by side, hands are always entertwined. sitting down at the dinner table? his hand is on your thigh, or ontop of your hand.
seungmin
seungmin thinks about you alot, even if he doesnt admit it to your face. something you've realized is how much attention he pays when you speak, always remembering small things you tell him.
like the time you were on lunch break at work, scrolling through whatever social media app, you sent him a desert recipe you wanted to try sometime. a day or so later, you got home and he had followed tbe recipe in order to make it, even if it wasn't perfect. he wants to make you happy and keep it that way.
or how when he asked to be your boyfriend, he got you and him matching necklaces. because beforehand you had told him about your friend and their boyfriend, and how they got matching bracelets and they were so cure. saying how "you'd love to have a matching item with someone"
jeongin
he loves spoiling you, no matter how much you refuse and try to repay him. he always says "your happiness and love is the only payment i need" with a smile on his face. he was so sweet, but you wanted to make sure he was happy too sometimes.
if you see something through the window of a store you like? hes already at the counter getting ready to pay. It would take 3 hands to count the amount of times he had to fight for the bill, not wanting to make you pay for it. you felt bad not paying for your portion of the meal, no matter how much he reassured you.
he makes sure to give you princess treatment if you're feeling even the slightest bit down. when you had a bad day at work, he immediately out everything else he was supposed to do aside, and planned a relaxing spa evening at home for you. together, you did skincare, massages, and he even let you paint his nails.

Your fan, Hongjoong (part 1)
(part 2) (your fan ml)

Thank you so much for your love and support, reblogs, likes, asks and comments all welcome
Tumblr media
"So alongside your brilliant songs, you are also well known for having breathtaking performances, with an edge that only ATEEZ can do. Could you elaborate on what exactly goes into creating your unique aesthetic?"
Hongjoong looked around the studio. Him and Yunho, being the resident radio DJs, had been invited onto a show to promote their newest comeback, and talk all things creative arts.
There had been a number of guests before them who he looked up to, from others in the music industry, to visual artists, writers, and designers. This was the way in which he had discovered new changemakers, and got to know those stars he had deemed 'unreachable'. Breathtaking, but there to be admired from a distance.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the amazing designers and stylists that we work with. Really, without them none of this would be possible and ATEEZ would not be the same."
"Definitely, with each stage and comeback, it seems that there is no end to just how much they, and you, can wow the world. Now, there is a particular fashion house that ATEEZ has been collaborating with recently, could you tell us more about that?"
Now that was an interesting direction to steer into. This was very new on the horizon for ATEEZ, and few media had covered this so far. Hongjoong perked up, forgetting the tranquility that he had to normally adopt for such shows, instead letting himself bask in the rays of his passions.
More specifically, your brand. He had known of its existence, thanks to a serendipitous selection by his stylist, before he had even figured out who the brain behind the art was. He discovered the connection entirely by accident - through this radio show.
You had come in for an interview, much like Hongjoong and Yunho, and sat in one of these seats, telling your story. This same man who was asking them questions, had conversed with you. This appearance was like Hongjoong's little moment to connect with his unreachable star.
You were notoriously elusive, so public appearances were few and far between, and this explained why he had initially not even associated you and the brand together. But as it turned out, that had been the point. The lore was strong in this one.
You had explained during the show that you felt no need for your personal image to be connected to the brand itself, as the garments and those who wore them were the real imagemakers. You had also shown a deep understanding of the subcultures from which you took inspiration and, yourself, followed, diving into legends who had pioneered their popularisation over the decades. In all honestly, that had him hooked, and left him wanting to learn more about how your mind worked.
"Ah yes, more than happy! ARNURI is a brand that we only recently started working with, and could not be more happy. The brand has a world view and prides itself on destroying boundaries in fashion. There is no gender, no size, no limit to what can be achieved. It actually takes inspiration from the variety that is within goth subculture and totally redefines what is meant by luxury. I mean, their slogan is 'lead by antithesis' after all."
He had paraphrased your introductory speech from one of your first exhibitions after you had your big break at one of the Fashion Weeks. It had been a solo show, organised outside of any specific season, every detail paying homeage to what had been advertised as 'embracing the darkness of nature'. For this show, you had scouted models among your friends, among the myriad of citizens of Seoul, and used those same city streets as your catwalk.
Maybe the reason why that particular event had spoken to Hongjoong was because it reminded him of the street busking he had done in his early days. The days of when one risked it all for a future that was not guaranteed, simply because they had hope.
Hongjoong could go on, but Yunho's shift to balancing his head on his hand as he rested his eyes on the captain, and batted his eyelids like a Disney princess made him stop abruptly.
Not that the host had noticed.
"Ah yes! And isn't the name, ARNURI, a play on "Our World?"
"Uh, yeah!" caught off-guard by the follow-up since he was trying to telepathically communicated to Yunho to cut whatever he was trying to do out, he stumbled over his words a little. But it was easy enough to settle back in once he thought of the moment KQ management had shared the official communications between the two companies with him.
"So it was quite funny when the brand approached us for this, they actually quoted our song 'New World'. Really if it were up to me I wouldn't even ask for a portfolio at that point."
"Of course you wouldn't..." Yunho whispered, leaning away from the mic so it barely caught, serving like background noise more than anything.
Hongjoong's head snapped in the other member's direction, but he was met with legendary nonchalance. Truly, the epitome of 'it's not awkward unless you make it awkward'. The guy even raised an eyebrow back at him as though Hongjoong was acting out of line.
"That is magnificent, it was meant to be! Maybe there are some ATINY in the company!"
"Oh we wish!" Yunho interjected, a chuckle escaping him as he glanced in Hongjoong's direction.
"Well, we are very much looking forward to seeing more of these fantastic designs, and the photoshoot that ATEEZ will be doing with ARNURI! Maybe you will be able to create some items together? Can ATINY hope for a new line in the future?"
"Hah, I do enjoy altering clothing and really letting creativity run free, but I am looking forward to the learning-".
"Oh yeah, Hongjoong has been a fan of the brand for quite some time, so finding out that we are now working together is a dream come true!"
Hongjoong lowered his eyes and let his fingers flitter across the table in front of him. There went his opportunity to be all slick and cool. Or was he over-reacting? Again, Yunho was unreadable.
The host then quickly rounded off that segment of the discussion, and cut to an ATEEZ song break, in honour of the guests.
Confirming that the mics were indeed off and he wasn't about to cuss out the entire nation, Hongjoong turned to his 6'1'' headache and hissed:
"Let's keep this about ATEEZ, shall we?"
"Why so serious, bro? Don't you like ARNURI?"
That, he did. The problem was that it was no longer just ARNURI he liked. To borrow some fandom-speak, he had abandoned the 'casual fan' territory, and had found himself quite a few clothing items and accessories-deep, and with a bias.
And since he would rather have Yeosang feeding him sour candy than revealing that he liked ARNURI more than he probably should, any joke in that direction was like an arrow that he felt the desperate need to dodge.
"Yeah, of course I do. I mean, we are working with them right?"
"Riiiight. And you are wearing their jacket. That you literally do not let anyone touch."
"What? I like clothes."
"And you keep said jacket in a plastic bag from the dry cleaner's because suddenly you are Seonghwa two point oh."
"Is that not... normal?"
"Rich to ask for a person who spray paints shoes in the living room at three in the morning."
"Hey I ventilate."
"BY TURNING ON THE EXHAUST VENT IN THE KITCHEN?"
"Shh, Yunho, we good. We can discuss this later-"
"Oh no I like your discomfort shawty talk to me."
Hongjoong pinched the bridge of his nose. This kid with his surprise attacks. Before he could think of a way to get himself out of the hole he dug, the host was suddenly showing that they had thirty seconds before going live. So he settled for:
"We'll continue this conversation later."
"And I chose Seonghwa over you."
"Choosing violence... I swear to-"
"And we are back! I hope you, dear listeners, enjoyed the wonderful-"
You paused the podcast. So, your personal assistant was not kidding when she ran into your office, waving her phone side to side as though she was at a concert, saying that Kim Hongjoong knew a lot more about ARNURI than you assumed.
Really sometimes you thought you hired her not for her abilities as a PA, but because she made you feel a tiny bit more sane. But at the same time, you were one in the same - who was listening to the recorded radio broadcast right after she left your office, reduced to a fit of giggles, sitting in total solitude? You.
Quite the contrast to how you normally were - zoned out due to exhaustion, brutal because that was how your business worked, or totally unreachable because 'the vibe was right and you were in a creative flow state'.
But this was how you got that bread. And had taken ARNURI to new heights. You continuously sacrificed yourself for the art.
There had never been another option for you - ever since you were a kid there was only one thing you were interested in, and that was fashion. You were that one kid who shamelessly stole (and wore) her parents' and siblings' clothing, modifying it so that it looked more like you.
You had 're-designed' your school uniform which had nearly led to your suspension. To this day you were confident you had done the right thing remaking the outfit to being pitch black - it was not your fault that the school had no sense of taste and had chosen such a horrid shade of grey.
And aside from becoming the 'adopted child' of some goth clubs in the city, you had crashed fashion show after fashion show to just see how the legends did it. You were taken by the stark contrast between what was classically accepted and popular on the runways versus the enchanting amalgamation of Victorian era dress, New Romantic, punk and new wave.
You had sworn to yourself that if there was one thing you were going to do, it was be one of the designers to fuse the worlds together. So you gave all you had to this dream. You had completed fashion school, worked in Finland to immerse yourself in the nation's vibrant, borderline mainstream goth scene, and had participated in many art exhibitions and avante garde fashion shows to make yourself known.
This was your calling. Your everything. So when you finally managed to get your brand up and running, bringing your vision to South Korea, you were shamelessly promoting it as best you could. Sending samples, contacting influencers, knocking on all the doors until SOMEONE answered.
And that someone turned out to be a stylist at KQ Entertainment, working with a group called ATEEZ. After a few exchanges on Instagram, they had agreed to use a couple of items, and let the media do the promotional magic.
You were desperate, having not had much success in the country due to difficulty in finding early adopters of the brand, so you agreed.
Turned out it was a much better investment than you had initially thought. A few members had sported ARNURI wear for a fansign, and pictures from the event FLEW around the internet. Eventually, the clothing was discovered, and your site started getting more and more hits.
You assumed it was just a fluke, but that fluke turned into one of the members, who you learned to be Kim Hongjoong, starting to make regular appearances in ARNURI, especially when it was evident that he had the final say in what to wear - airport looks, more casual events... black-clad, supporting you more than he could imagine.
Inadvertently, he had turned into a motivation for you. He had given you the hope that you could reach the stars if you so desired, and so you began to build up.
Season after season, you worked tirelessly, and eventually broke into Seoul Fashion Week. Your daring showcase of your 'ANTITHESIS' collection had gathered a large audience, and soon enough, you had to step into the spotlight, and reveal your identity.
You could remember it as clear as day, 'She Sells Sanctuary' by The Cult roaring in the background as you stepped out, every bit ARNURI, an overnight neo-goth sensation.
As your brand got bigger and bigger, and you were now leading a business of nearly 100 people strong, you had to become colder and more distant. It was a sort of self-preservation, since fashion was not an industry where one could escape criticism and blatant slander, especially when your primary goal was to be yourself.
But that one idol. The one who had agreed to wear your brand, and then continued to do so voluntarily, Kim Hongjoong, still remained special to you. He was your quiet encouragement.
So when you heard from your marketing and communications team that they had scouted out an opportunity to work with ATEEZ, you gave them the green light almost instantly, and much to their surprise, participated in crafting out the perfect proposal.
And when you received an agreement and contracts in response, you needed to excuse yourself and locked yourself in your studio, letting yourself squeal. Just a bit. And then walked back out - she is beauty she is grace.
The first stage of the collaboration was going to be a nice and simple photoshoot. You said simple but you were running around the building like a headless chicken making sure everything was ready.
It was going to be for a new line, 'PHANTASMOS', an ode to phantasmagoria, horror theatre and the portrayal of all things fantastic, strange and ghoulish. And who would be a better group of models than ATEEZ?
As the day approached, Hongjoong was becoming considerably more nervous, and that was only exacerbated by the announcement that you personally would be attending the shoot.
He did not want to come across as a fool of some sort, wanted to be a serious leader, really leave the impression that he meant business. To him, you were elegance itself, a tranquil beauty in black, and he wanted to match that to the best of his ability.
Which was exactly why he had turned his and Seonghwa's dorm into a fabric skip, with shirts, trousers, t-shirts... all of his prized possessions were strewn around the perimeter and occupied nearly every inch of the floor. Hell, even his customised Doc Martens were lying miserably on his bed.
Just as he was contemplating between a blazer with lines of safety pins as decal on the lapels or a classic leather jacket with more zippers than ways his children could annoy him, Seonghwa returned from his trip to the LEGO store.
Hongjoong had never seen every single stage of grief flash across a person's face in one second. But there it was. He gave the eldest member a sheepish grin, subconsciously cowering away closer to the windows - as far away from the evidently not too pleased Seonghwa.
"Kim. Hong. Joong. What kind of fuckery is this?"
"Oh. OH! Amy Winehouse! Yes, big fan, that's uh, that's Me & Mr. Jones right?"
"I will use you as a broom stick Joong."
"Look I just got carried-"
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU? PLEASE LET ME KEEP AT LEAST SOME OF MY NERVE CELLS!"
"What's happening- oh Joongie is in trouble~" Mingi poked his head in through the door, making it look as though it was the Teletubbies sun floating above Seonghwa's shoulder.
Hongjoong really wished he could laugh. He really did. But he was afraid he was about to be forced to eat the starship that his roommate bought.
So much for trying to be 'chic' and impressing you. Now he had the goal of making it to the shoot in one piece.
"Mingi. Exit. Now." Seonghwa commanded, jaw clenched, which made the younger member quite literally bolt, slamming the door so hard that the items that were hanging on the stuck-on hooks slid off and fell behind Seonghwa.
There was a mass meeting audible right outside of the room, and a very distinct seagull laugh penetrated the walls. Hongjoong cursed his bad timing. Had he only started early, maybe he would have had time to shove at least some of the items under the bunk so it didn't look too bad.
"Right. You know what. I am zen. I am the calmest of the calm. You take care of others, I take care of you. Right? Now. Wait, you know what I need to just-"
Seonghwa picked up a large pillow off one of the beds, eyed it, looked at Hongjoong once more, and then PUNCHED it with blinding rage, sending it flying right back into the bed.
"Okay now I am fine. Care to explain when you were planning to sort this shit out?"
There was another wave of mumbles outside, to which Seonghwa responded by making the door fly open and shouting out "we are having a VERY IMPORTANT CONVERSATION."
Before closing the door entirely, a quiet comment from Yeosang could be overheard: "they're getting divorced in there," leading to some giggles, and pitter-patter of footsteps away from the door. They probably just chose a slightly different location to camp and snoop.
Hongjoong decided to sink into one of the clothes piles, motioning for Seonghwa to take a seat next to him. He was in a dilemma, unsure of what sort of explanation would be the most effective for Seonghwa. So he just settled for the truth.
"You know the shoot that we are going to do?" he began, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yes, I do. What, is the aesthetic landfill-chic?" Seonghwa motioned at the explosion over the room.
"No, not at all! Don't even. You have seen the clothing, right?"
"Of course, I wore ARNURI before. Must say, very flattering. And fashionable. That one overcoat made me feel like a vampire prince."
Hongjoong raised an eyebrow, but chose not to comment on that. Seonghwa was Seonghwa, he had his own agenda and his own interpretations.
"Right, so... well, you know I have a lot of ARNURI stuff? It's not just that... I have um... sort of become a... fan? Of the designer? L/N Y/N? She is just... her vision... her style is just... yeah she is great."
"Oh my gosh my boy Kim Hongjoong actually wants to meet someone outside of ATEEZ, this is legendary, I should post this on Universe."
"What in the- hey I meet people! And don't you dare"
"When, mister 'I don't really have many friends' and literally getting jealous over me talking to Minho from Stray Kids?"
"Hey, being a best friend is a responsibility, and you are my best friend!"
"Oh wait... I get it... I don't think you are aiming for friendship here... isn't that right?" a grin started spreading over Seonghwa's face as he looked like he discovered a new planet.
"I am just a fan of hers! Don't twist this!"
"Sure... okay now I get... this," he gave a judgmental side eye to the pile of sweaters that had made their home right by his display cabinet. "You are like a middle schooler before a first date, I swear. This is definitely because she's going to be there, right?"
"You know what? Yes, yes it is. And I might not have had my growth spurt yet but I am not a middle schooler." Hongjoong said, standing up as straight as possible, putting his hands on his hips.
"That's exactly what an angsty middle schooler would say." Seonghwa looked him up and down, stifling a laugh.
"You are on a power trip aren't you?"
"Hell yeah I am, and I will be for the entire shoot and beyond."
"Park Seonghwa why you do this to ME?"
"If you don't want the others to get the details I have an offer."
This made Hongjoong stop on his tracks and retract his 'leader card'. He did not want to lose face in front of the 'teezer crew entirely, so keeping this information in confidence was enticing.
"Yes?"
"First off, clean your shit. And second, I get that spot on the dresser for the Imperial All Terrain Armoured Transport model I've been hunting down."
"First, deal. Second, say that one more fucking time dude I dare you."
"IMPERIAL ALL TERRAIN ARMOURED TRANSPORT, ALSO KNOWN AS THE AT-AT WALKER, IS A FOUR-LEGGED TRANSPORT AND COMBAT VEHICLE USED BY THE IMPERIAL GROUND FO-"
"Did you legit memorise Wikipedia or something?"
"May the force be with you, bitch. Now you clean, I will go chill outside so I don't have an aneurysm because of how you do it. And by the way, I'd pick the leather jacket if I were you. Classic, timeless and looks good."
"Thank you man, you are the best."
"I know, now impress me with how you can make this room spotless."
And with that, Seonghwa left Hongjoong alone in the room. From what he could hear, there was a circus outside, with the other members having gathered around, interrogating about what had just unfolded. but Seonghwa was keeping his word, for now at least. He knew that he did not have to try too hard, since Hongjoong would probably expose himself as soon as he were to see you anyways.
And Seonghwa was more than right. The next day, when ATEEZ arrived to the studio, Hongjoong was very jittery. Alert to any and all people and sounds, he was looking around as if he was expecting someone - well he definitely was. As soon as they stepped into the ARNURI office, he was convinced that you could be around any corner.
The other members were beginning to catch on that this hyung was acting odd, to the point where Yeosang commented on Hongjoong looking like he was playing Alien Isolation in real life. The reference flew right over the leader's head, but he tried his best to tone his Pink Panther-style snooping down.
And instead focus on the many photos that decorated the walls of your house of fashion. Memories of particularly memorable parts of a show, awards, red carpet events... club nights, themed evenings, collaborations... this was your life. Right there, immortalised in tasteful monochrome.
The boys were in awe of the refined interior - strictly monochromatic, any accents in the otherwise white rooms and corridors were done using the colour black. Although it was not a rule by any means (in fact, you encouraged being as daring as one wanted), the majority of ARNURI employees were clad in the colour, fitting right into the brand and the aesthetics.
They were led up a couple of flights of stairs, and as they were making their way down one corridor, Hongjoong began to catch snippets of lively conversation, the occasional staff gliding a clothing rack past them or across the hallway, and... shouts of 'yes ma'am'?
Initially he was confused, but as they were getting closer to the photo studio, it clicked in his head: you were in there. Who else could be referred to as ma'am?
"Hey, Hongjoong, I think we are -actually- meant to... walk in the hall to do the shoot." Jongho walked up behind the leader, fake whispering, causing a round of chuckles from the other members. The only member who was not as smiley (except Hongjoong himself, that is) was Seonghwa, and it was because Hongjoong not so little infatuation was old news to him, and the room had been cleaned to a very satisfying level, much to his surprise.
"Woah no way, Jongho, that's insane. I was sure that this was a new technique or something..." Yunho piped in, glancing at Hongjoong, lips curling up.
He had a couple of sneaking suspicions about Hongjoong's behaviour whenever ARNURI, or more specifically the founder and lead designer, were mentioned or he was given the chance to gush about it.
The radio appearance was the closest to a confirmation that he could get - Hongjoong getting shy over being a big fan... what a sight to see. But seeing the post-discussion silent conversations between the two eldest members, and some signal exchanges while they were driving up to the venue really sealed the deal. There was something really fun going on with Hongjoong, and Yunho needed the deets.
For research purposes. And who was he to pass up on a ship in the making?
Finally, their manager, after finishing up a conversation with some of the relationship management staff from ARNURI, who had greeted them, decided to speed up the process and usher the kids in.
To soothe his nerves, Hongjoong picked at a bracelet he had selected for completing his 'first meeting and first impression' look. He had worn it many times over, and had even taken it with him on tour before, so it was a little ball of positive energy for him.
But nothing could prepare or prevent the Error that Hongjoong.exe experienced as he finally saw you in your element.
There was something spellbinding about the way you looked. Head to toe in your own creations, you were wearing an onyx-hued Victorian era inspired suit, matched with military boots that had immaculate metal detailing.
He could not stop staring, even if it could be perceived as rude, or too forward. There you were.
"Oh, guys, man down, man down, our captain's overboard~" Wooyoung taunted, shouldering San and Yeosang who were on either side of him.
It really was a sight to behold. Hongjoong, entirely captivated as you stood in the middle of the photo studio, guiding the entire room like a conductor would lead an orchestra.
He ignored the youngers' attempts to get his attention, much to their utter disbelief and resulting giddiness. If there was a definition of starstruck. This was it.
You appeared to have a pulse on EVERYTHING, down to the tiniest details, pointing out that there was a very specific prop missing, adjusting accessories, exchanging one scarf for another. It was the most organised chaos that Hongjoong had ever seen, and he was amazed at how you could keep it under control.
The star he had deemed unreachable was right there. Right in front of him.
"Joongie, I think you can leave your drooling until after the shoot. You don't want your makeup ruined."
"Oh Hwa is this how it is?" he looked at his friend in disbelief.
"I think you exposed yourself enough, no?"
"Ew, Hongjoong come on don't traumatise your wife." Wooyoung was not giving up on his mission to annoy Hongjoong into early retirement.
"GUYS please don't embarrass me-"
"Oh so you admit it?" San questioned, smirking like the devil.
"Admit what?"
"That you are doing some shady shit."
"Where did this even come from, San."
"So the studio then, no wonder you come back from there at like four in the morning."
"You guys are making me lose brain cells that I need to get instructions from the photographer." Yeosang deadpanned, nodding towards the set.
"I don't even want to begin imagining what sort of things you are thinking about, but I can assure you I will annihilate you if you start kindergarten season here." Hongjoong threatened but it fell short as Mingi grinned and joined in the ambush:
"Say 'aye' if you think this minion is invested into this shoot." the way he said it almost sounded like an innuendo, making Hongjoong scowl.
The most deafening collection of 'ayes' resounded around Hongjoong, and caused you to shift your focus to the newly arrived group. He noticed your expression soften, shoulders roll a little further back as you ambled towards them, the thuds of your boots setting his heart's pace.
"Ah good morning to you all! It is such a pleasure to be working with you. Did I make you wait for long?"
"Not at all, the pleasure is all ours." Hongjoong forced out, pushing the snickering members out of his sphere of attention.
"Great, well it is wonderful to finally meet you, I am L/N Y/N, the mad scientist behind ARNURI!"
"Very much the same here, Miss-"
"We'll be working closely enough to be informal, no?" you interjected before Hongjoong could call you by your last name.
Your allure was more powerful than he had hypothesised, to the point where some of the other members, more specifically San and Seonghwa, could not look away from you either - it seemed that you had the energy for attracting demons. The way you carried yourself, poised and courteous, demanded nothing less than respect.
At the same time, there was nothing demure about you. If anything, you resembled a cat that was ready to pounce any moment. As though there was a coil within you, permanently tense and even slightly dangerous. But that was thrilling.
Hongjoong cleared his throat, and corrected himself, "Yes, of course, sorry, Y/N. Shall we do the official greeting or-"
"Let's keep things personal for now, and once my lovely colleagues are done with the final checks, we can get started with eight makes one team." you winked, and suggested, quoting the greeting.
It was beyond entertaining for Wooyoung to see just how putty-like Hongjoong had become in your presence. He was just playing by your rules at this point, without questioning them. But it was understandable, who wouldn't get weak when their type was right in front of them and said 'let's keep things personal'?
"Well then let me be proper, I am San!" whilst you were exchanging words with Hongjoong, the member had time to slip from where he originally stood, and was now almost right in front of you, beaming.
Hongjoong chortled, but at the same time wanted to kick his fellow member in the shins because of the interception. What was his game here exactly?
Ever so politely, you greeted San back, not giving away that you were interested in continuing your chat with Hongjoong. It was second nature to you to blend one interaction into another without revealing any preferences - otherwise you would have a lot more enemies in the industry.
Then you simply proceeded to greet each ATEEZ member separately, your attention shifting entirely each time. You had a way of making people feel like, for even if just a moment, they were your universe.
It came from your tendency of seeing people both as perfect canvases, and as living works of art. You enjoyed the challenge that working off a person gave you, and this was mainly why you wanted to give each ATEEZ member a final once over - to see whether what you had planned was even right.
Each member gave you a unique impression, ranging from mischievous to shy to strictly professional. Seeing as you had never actively followed their activities, aside from their leader's, you were fascinated by the dynamic they were displaying, taking note for who you wanted to see in the camera together, and maybe even matching in some accessories.
Hongjoong was nearly holding his breath as he saw you reading ATEEZ like an open book. You were scanning everyone in the way he had seen renowned critics do while inspecting models on the runway. A Mona Lisa smile, and conclusions no one would know except yourself.
When it was finally his turn, he said his name as brightly as possible, faltering only towards the end as your eyes locked. He swore his heart nearly jumped out of his chest. It did not last long though, as you glanced down, and appeared to be incredibly happy because of something you spotted.
San was taking a particular interest in this silent mental tango, intently following your every move, while Wooyoung cupped his hand around his friend's ear and whispered.
"The bracelet."
"Ah, yes, it's uhm, should I say yours?"
"I guess so! It is from the limited edition MEDUSA collection. It suits you well. And the condition is impeccable though it's been what, a couple of years?"
"It's very precious to me, I try to take good care of it."
Seonghwa pursed his lips, the chaos of their dorm room clouding his vision. He imagined that you probably would go ballistic if you were to ever see clothing being treated in that way. Though Hongjoong did have separate storage for accessories and jewelry - that much was true.
"That means a lot. Thank you-" you turned as someone called out for you, alerting that everything was ready to go, "it's time, gentlemen, let's get this party started!"
As you clasped your hands together and moved away to join the lead photographer, allowing stylists to guide the group away and begin working their magic, San peered at Hongjoong once more.
When he made sure everyone else was out of earshot, he placed a hand on the captain's shoulder, and muttered:
"If you don't ask her out, I will. No hierarchy on this battle field."

Once again, to celebrate this awesome day, I thought I'd give another shout-out to some more of those wonderful ladies that I alove and admire, both those who hve inspired me for a while now, and those that I just recently discovered ...
Tumblr media
IMAN VELLANI. Oh my sweet girl! :3 Exploding onto the scene thanks to the recent acclaimed hit/fan favourite that was the Disney/Marvel Ms. Marvel streaming show, the most adorable geek girl in ALL THE WORLD really got a major, much deserved profile boost (regardless of the problems) thanks to her co-starring return to the role of super-popular young Marvel superhero Kamala Khan in The Marvels. She's a genuine absolute SWEETHEART and she deserves all the success that's surely coming to her.
Tumblr media
GIDEON NAV & HARROWHARK NONAGESIMUS. Yup, I have FINALLY gotten round to reading Tamsyn Muir's ridiculously popular sci-fi fntasy novel series The Locked Tomb! It's still early days, I'm only on Gideon the Ninth, but I am ALREADY falling head over heels in love with the story's central duo, the reluctant warrior Gideon, a snarky oversized golden retriever of a woman, and her "hated" charge, Harrow, the scheming, overly-ambitious scion to an ancient clan of intergalactic necromancers, who's a metaphorical vicious little soaked ferret. I love them, they're so adorably dysfunctional ...
Tumblr media
AWKWAFINA. For me, one of the funniest people around, this musician, comedian and actress deserves every ounce of success she's earned for herself. I mostly know her for her acting, having been a fan ever since she was in Ocean's 8, since showing up in a raft of great roles in the likes of Shang-Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings, Raya & the Last Dragon, Crazy Rich Asians and Swan Song, although she's REALLY hitting her stride now, showing up in REALLY BIG stuff like Renfield, Quiz L\ady and, now, the incoming (and long-awaited) Kung Fu Panda 4.
Tumblr media
TATIANA SUAREZ. Perhaps the most incredible sportswoman I have come across in a good long while, this one is a TRUE INSPIRATION REVELATION. A strong up-and-coming contender for UFC World Champion, she's been through SO MUCH in her life to get where she is now, having had her teenage dreams of being an Olympic Gold Medal wrestler dashed after an accident during training led to the discovery of a burgeoning case of thyroid cancer. Fighting off the condition, she then fought her way back after embracing judo and then mixed martial arts, before AGAIN suffering a debilitating neck injury which NEARLY ended her sporting career again, forcing her to take another long-term hiatus to get back into fighting shape ... just as COVID hit. Now she's back again, fighting fit and better than ever, hungry for that next chance and looking like she's definitely gonna get it this time ...
Tumblr media
SINEAD O'CONNOR. The last 13 months have been really tough, we've had to say goodbye to some truly wonderful people, but one in particular REALLY HURT. The music industry lost a true GEM with the passing of this genuine GODDESS, the Irish singer-songwriter best known for her INSANELY popular cover of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U, although those in the know recognise that she was ONE HELL of a force nature in her own right, courting controversy throughout her career for her outspoken religious and political views. She NEVER backed down on what she believed, and earned my undying respect and admiration for it.
Tumblr media
FLORENCE PUGH. A completely amazing young actress who's had a trily ASTOUNDING rise to fame in recent years, I've be a fan of Flo's ever since she broke out in a MASSIVE WAY in the twisted psychological drama Lady Macbeth. She's blown us all away since, lighting up the screen in the likes of midsommar, Don't Worry Darling, Oppenheimer and, now, Dune, Part Two, but now, for me she will ALWAYS be Yelena Belova, the true successor to the MCU's Black Widow mantle.
Tumblr media
MIZU. One of my favourite female characters of the past year (although I'm sure she would balk at actually bringing up her gender), the titular lead protagonist of Netflix' wild runaway success new animated series Blue Eye Samurai is a genuinely fascinating and intoxivating character, who prompts profound debate about gender roles and personal identity while kicking arse in SPECTACULAR FASHION indeed in feudal Japan.
Tumblr media
TEYONAH PARRIS. Definitely one of THE MOST AMAZING African American actresses coming up right now, this young lady is definitely earning her breakout star status. Having come up through sterling turns in the likes of Dear White People, Chi-Raq, If Beale Street Could Talk and Candyman, before finally making good on all that promise with high profile lead turns in THey Cloned Tyrone and her ongoing role as MCU superhero MOnica Rambeau/Photon in Wandavision and The Marvels.
Tumblr media
BILLIE EILISH. What do I REALLY need to say about one of the most popular and astoundingly unique musical artists of the moment? Ever since her breakthrough at just THIRTEEN YEARS OLD with her wildly successful first single, Ocean Eyes, which became a massive runaway smash on Youtube, this incredibly talented young singer songwriter has consistently impressed with ever release, entirely deserving her immense success with an amazing debut EP and two subsequently BRILLIANT albums. She keeps going from strength to strength, and at just 22 years old is only just BEGINNING what's sure to be a MONSTER of a career ...
Tumblr media
KITTY O'NEIL. A true legend in cinema, even though most of us have NEVER actually seen her face, this little lady was one of the GREATEST stuntwomen and racers of all time, and a MASSIVE inspiration throughout her life as well. Despite going deaf due to illness during childhood, Kitty still went on to become a record-breaking racing driver and professional stunt performer, probably best known for having doubled Linda Cart in Wonder Woman and Lyndsey Wagner in The Bionic Woman. It's a genuine mystery why Hollywood hasn't made a biopic about her yet ...
Tumblr media
HOLGA KILGORE. Probably my ABSOLUTE favourite fictional female protagonist of 2023, the badass barbarian lady from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves was a pure, unapologetic JOY, thanks in no small part to a wonderfully game turn from Michelle Rodriguez. Holga's just an absolute sweetheart, fully capable of decimating a whole room full of big, dangerous men with her bare hands without ever losing her gentle kindness, simple, honest innocence and unswerving loyalty. TRULY the MVP warrior tank any adventuring party wants in their corner ...
Tumblr media
SIOUXSIE SIOUX. Truly one of alternative rock's true, all time GOATs, the lead singer of one of goth's greatest and most important bands, Siouxsie & the Banshees, is a singular master of haunting, ethereal vocals and a genuine style ICON who lent her look and manner to a whole GENERATION of scary young women ...
Tumblr media
SABINE WREN & SHIN HATI. While my favourite Star Wars offering of 2023, the opening season of the Ahsoka series, was, all round, just SO GREAT for me, there was one particular element that just stuck with me above ANYTHING ELSE - the season-long rivalry between Ahsoka's troubled Mndalorian apprentice Sabine and Dark Jedi student Shin. They raged, continuously tried to kill each other and endlessly traded smouldering looks of hate that bordered on OBSESSION ... all while genuinely SIMMERING with barely restrained sexual tension. They made the whole fandom FERAL, myself includced. #wolfwren indeed ...
Tumblr media
BRODY DALLE. And last, but BY NO MEANS LEAST, a little more personal self-indulgience ith one of my greatest rock-fan super crushes, namely the awesome Aussie lead singer/guitarist of supercool punk bands the Distillers and Spinnerette. Still rocking her iconic status to this day, she remains a genuine inspiration ...

Happy birthday to the one and only @writcraft! I know you probably feel this year hasn’t been as productive as you’d like fandom-wise, so this is both a reminder and a token of appreciation, a short rec list that hopes to highlight a little bit of your immense contribution to fandom. This is ofc 100% self-indulgent and my picks might be a bit too obvious - I doubt that anyone who’s been around for a while hasn’t heard of these classics before, but those who are new to the fandom (or just new to Writ’s works - I’m so jealous!) might enjoy this “starter pack” with my personal selection of must-reads.
There’s a little bit of everything: Drarry, Snarry, femslash, dark fic, kinky fic, angst with a happy ending, romcom, hurt/comfort. No matter the tone or trope, they’re not only perfectly thought out and executed but they also deliver profound human experiences that resonates within, and thought-provoking explorations of romance, queerness and hope. I have often wondered how Writ could be so prolific over the years, always impressing me with such flawless depth of characterization across different ships. Now I realize this comes from the amount of passion and research they pour into their work. Writ commits to fandom - and to writing - both intellectually and emotionally, bringing together their creative, fannish, militant and intellectual sides like nobody else can do. This combination breathes life and heart into every love story they create, making them all bright and unique, inspiring universal emotions while remaining deeply personal.
Writ, I cannot thank you enough for being such a kind, witty and welcoming friend, always up to discuss fandom meta, gritty fic plots, old and new ship obsessions, dog parenting, queer & pop culture references! I learn so much from you and it’s a privilege (and a delight) to have someone to share both silly and deep, insightful convos with. Becoming friends with you - an author I’ve been admiring and looking up to for so many years now - still feels a bit surreal but it’s easily one of the best parts of 2022/2023 for me. I hope you enjoy your day to the fullest, and have an amazing time celebrating with yours. Happy birthday my friend! 💜

Random “what if MC” scenarios bc my mind can’t stop coming up with them
MC’s gender isn’t mentioned, sometimes I switch between referring to the reader as MC and “you” and I’m too lazy to proofread and change it so it’s consistent soooooo
this is mostly platonic but go ahead and imagine what you want I ain’t judging ;) unless it’s Ortho don’t be weird >:(
Btw if you want to expand on any of these yourself please do it. Just tell me so I can read it I desperately need content for some of these lmao
What if MC was their voice actor?
So there’s some scenarios/fanfics with MC coming from a world where TWST is a game; but no one considers what if MC was their voice actor. I just think it’d be the funniest thing ever if MC popped in with the exact tone of voice of Leona or Malleus.
Imagine the pranks and imitations too. Like Ruggie is laughing his ass off at you making fun of Leona while Leona is just 🤨 tf are you doing
Or you go viral for your perfect Vil impression and Cater is just riding on your fame for “discovering you” he’s very grateful
I’d also imagine some bamboozling, tomfoolery if you will, if you were Trey or Riddle’s va. Like lmao put Riddle in an early grave while you pretend to be Trey please it’s so fucking funny
The chaos tho with Floyd if you were his va- or even better- Azul’s. Endless torture for the octopus boi. Same with Jamil and Kalim. Kalim is having the time of his life while Jamil is about to commit murder.
What if MC didn’t understand their language
So I just think it’d be interesting if MC didn’t speak the same language as NRC. Like Crowley is trying to explain everything and MC is just 🧍‍♂️
Everyone is trying their best to understand you and you’re taking lessons with Trein so at least you could speak basic phrases and read. You’re trying you’re best here.
And as you get closer to everyone I’d imagine people like Azul, Jade and Rook would be interested in learning your language out of curiosity. Does everyone in your world speak this language? How do you say ____? Any phrases that can’t be translated?
I’d also imagine Ortho to be eager to learn everything about you too! Being a highly advanced robot he’s sure to pick up your language easily. Its comforting to be able to talk to someone in your native language.
Ace would 100% ask how to say fuck
What if MC was a warrior?
I’ve seen a couple of these but I’m adding this anyway bc I love it.
Imagine a strong MC, covered in scars, hardened from battle, and can’t for the life of them pass a test in Crewel’s class. Forget about Trein’s too, MC just about gave up. (At least Vargas loves u)
Deuce thought you used to be a delinquent like him once he saw your scars; but left in awe at your stories. Also: workout sessions with Jack and Epel anyone? Epel is eager to learn from you.
Training with Sebek and Silver occasionally too. Even though Sebek initially doubted you he admires tolerates your human presence.
Treat Vil like your Queen and he’ll swoon hard
Idia will pass out btw if you ever pick him up when he asks if you saved any princesses like in his games/anime
What if MC was a famous singer?
Yeah yeah another somewhat common one stfu
I can imagine MC being almost excited when they realize they can relive the experience from starting out a newbie. Like you already know all your songs, the tips and tricks to preforming, and what a crowd loves.
When a mysterious singer pops out of nowhere and immediately becomes a hit you know Vil and Neige are already on the move investigating. Who’s the new competition taking over Magicam by the storm?
Ace and Dunce probably caught you playing (you bribed Grim with tuna to stay quiet earlier) and exposed you later on accident.
Depending on the music you preform you probably have some fans in the school. Maybe you’ll preform live for the first time at VDC in the hopes of securing a future career if you can’t get home (or if you don’t want to)
Imagine catching Jack or riddle listening to your music tho and being a hardcore fan
What if MC was a painter?
A lot of hard feelings came from being ripped from your world and being placed into a new one… and what better way to express that than painting?
Whether it be portraits or landscapes, when you found free/cheap supplies at Sam’s and the dorm Ramshackle became covered with your paintings. And once you got around to selling them you found you didn’t have to worry so much about food expenses.
Imagine painting Malleus though, like hello beautiful mysterious fae man that appears in the night and you’re not immediately picking up a brush to paint him???
Lilia is gushing, Malleus is blushing, and Sebek is rushing to either praise you or end you for painting his beloved crown prince of Briar Valley, his excellency, the magnificent and powerful-
Btw Azul is trying to put you in a sketchy work contract to paint in the lounge for some publicity be careful lmao

Ok ok. Hear me out.
Little brainrot here.
We will soon get to explore Fontaine and discover its underwater treasures, right ?
So, what about Foul Legacy with merperson!reader ?
I often dream about being a mermaid myself, freely swimming in clear waters, diving through algae and kelp forests while dancing with the other fish ; and, last night, I actually had a dream about this that happened to take place in Teyvat.
I’d like to think that Fontaine is the perfect place to meet mermaids, even though you can also see them in deep rivers, lakes or even the other seas that hold their place in the world. Foul Legacy probably found himself lost in these watery lands once, maybe while trying to get to Liyue. The only person he thought would be safe to stay with would probably be Zhongli, and yet the voice in his head constantly whispering how this idea is the only one he has left to follow suddenly quiets down once he hears the melodious voices of seafolks bloom all around him, most of them being slightly muffled but the waters they like to hide under. Like with everyone else, they tend to be wary of him, staying away from his monstrous form even though he can see glimmers of curiosity in their dark eyes. And, terrified at the idea of frightening them even more -he wouldn’t want to hurt such beautiful creatures by accident !- he keeps his distance too, silently watching them from the shadows, trilling curiously from time to time.
Now, I think merpeople communicate with a wide range of sounds, going from the entrancing songs of whales or the sharp clicks of dolphins to sounds so deep even he has trouble them, marvelling at how ethereal all of this is. This language is a little bit similar to the one he uses, and yet he can’t really bring himself to understand the nuances. This is why it takes him a few seconds to realise that the inquisitive chirps that echo not far from him are those of a merperson trying to communicate with him until his eyes fall upon their elegant silhouette.
Despite the fear of hurting them and the quite peculiar language barrier, our cinnamon roll of an Abyss creature lowers himself to bring his masked visage to their level. He almost falls into the water when their small, webbed hands come graze the ridges of his crimson mask and horns, detangling his fluffy hair and mane, droplets of water going still upon meeting the thick, yet incredibly soft surface of his purple fur. What he can only interpret as being happy coos and trills cross the edge of their salt-covered lips, and Foul Legacy quickly finds himself talking back with an enthusiasm that only matches their own, starry wing fluttering in delight every time their voice start humming a song. And he is quite surprised to see other merpeople approach him after a few days of peacefully interacting with us, their voices and tunes forming an echo that could mesmerise the coldest of hearts.
Maybe Liyue can wait, after all.
- 🫧 anon
🫧 anon i love you so much thank you for this delicious MEAL!!! also i am soso excited for Fontaine especially underwater exploration!! it reminds me of the underwater areas in another game i play it's soooo pretty
Foul Legacy could spend hours listening to you talk- of course, all the merpeople have lovely voices, but you're his favorite, being the first to approach him without fear. you, like him, are quite curious, countless questions always glittering in your eyes, questions that he can't quite understand. but even with the language barrier, Legacy finds himself basking in your voice, the familiarity of something close to his own language making him purr in delight, craning his head back so you can scratch under his chin
luckily Foul Legacy still LOOOOVES water, even if he's not an aquatic creature himself. it comes with having a Hydro vision, but he loves to swim and can hold his breath for a very long time!! at first you'll simply bring him items you found that you thought were pretty, since you're very much aware that some tales paint merpeople as vicious and bloodthirsty; you only ask if he wants to come swimming with you after you both trust each other, pointing to him, then the water, and tilting your head with an inquisitive trill. and if he accepts you clap your hands in joy, a beam spreading across your cheeks and webbed ears twitching happily. you adore the look of amazement on Legacy's face, as well as how bubbles float from his fanged maw when he attempts to chirp underwater- plus, now he can see your scales and markings in the sunlight too!!
i think Fontaine and Liyue are going to be connected, by land and by water, so if you must, you'll also show him how to get back to Liyue via the waterways of Fontaine. you really don't want to- it's been a long time since you've had such an amazing friend- but you know he misses the safety of Liyue like a fish misses the sea, so you'll take him to the border between the two nations and point out the way he needs to go in order to return. before he leaves, though, you give him one final gift- a luminescent seashell you found years ago, waiting for the right moment and right person to give it to, since there's nothing better than watching someone's face light up as you give them a gift. he's sure to treat it carefully, cupping the delicate object in his claws and crooning his heartfelt thanks, giving you one final lick on the cheek, which you greet with a kiss of your own before watching him depart with a mournful smile
Legacy turns back once, for a final glance, but when he looks to the sea, you're already gone

9 Fandom Folks To Get To Know Better
Thanks for the tag @cealesti!! :3c
Three ships you like:
oh god this is hard okay okay uuhh the ones on my mind rn 1. tomarrymort / soulseeker (hp) - i find them so iconic, you know? their ideals, their parallels, their similarities, there seems to be new things to discover about them at every turn, just keep putting them in situations and watch them wreck havoc. the soulseeker fandom is filled with so much amazing amazing people so kind and creative, i feel like i have accidently stumbled upon the holy grail, the paradise that never ends <3 2. radiodust (hazbin hotel) - i ship them as literally the queer-coded villains that have nothing in common, yet they bond over being the meanest hottest couple in the hotel together and know the ideal make-up brands to go into territory battles in. theyre like two drama queens on different ends of the spectrums. i like them toxic, i like them dramatic af, i like them in pink and red hahaha XD 3. lawlight (death note) - tbh im fairly new into the ship, despite being a longterm death note fan :0 i was more into mellodramattic before lawlight era hit me recently lol. i love how people, pretty much, turn them into their personal anime yaoi dolls and force them to kiss lol.
First ship ever:
uuummmmm im thinking hetalia ??? XD uh England and America <3 i can never get over the angst. the sunshine gay and the grumpy gay dynamic.
Last song you heard:
La Vie en rose (alastor cover) by Paranoid DJ Please check out PARANOiD DJ's fan songs for hazbin / helluva, theyre so good!!! The Lucifer, Alastor, Stiker, and Verosika songs are my faves!
Currently reading:
Vicious Circle by Bakuko, cyberslut404, estnedo I barely started chapter 1, so no thoughts yet besides I am excited to check this story out !! The Emporer and The Star by wynnebat I am rereading this story <3 I enjoy it so much and the confusing and deadly feeling Harry is having with his Seer abilities.
Currently watching:
I am actually watching a few things rn, I jump around a lot depending what I am watching with who: -Gurren Lagann - my lovely partner never seen it! i had to change that! one of my fave fave core animes. -Toilet-bound Hanako-kun - a comfort show with gorgeous. gorgeous designs and a fun twist of traditional ghost folklore. -Heartstopper Season 2 - my wife loves the comic, so here we are. -Trolls Dreamworks Movies - watching with friends <3 the designs are so adorable and are very fun! i am always so blown away with how creative the team uses different craft textiles throughout the movies! the second and third movie are my fave <3 theyre like an hour and half long each! fairly short, but i HIGHLY RECOMMEND for a good time!! -Harry Potter Movies - watching with friends on saturdays <3
Currently consuming:

👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻👻
Chapter 7
The Nursery Rhyme Killer
In the outskirts of town, where the darkness romes free. There lives a man where there used to be three.
A smart man, a surgeon, who was thought of highley. His wife, a teacher and their daughter named Reilly.
On the outside a family like any other. But not all is what it seems as we soon shall discover.
For one fateful night his worst fears came true, an accident occured right out of the blue.
His daughter was so hurt that she could not be saved. Her loss is what turned him so depraved.
Their baby girl ripped out of their lives this could not be. No longer they were a family of three.
The hurt and pain filled the empty space there was. Neither of them could cope with their loss.
The wife avoided the man because she could not bear to see the ways her husband tried to get them, again, be a family of three.
He was acting strange, she thought. Doing things behind her back. Never in her life did she expect him doing the things she caught him do in the act.
One day she came home and something was off, she could tell. No sign of her husband and then she heard a sound of something that fell.
Tumblr media
She followed the sound down to the basement and what she saw there filled her with horror and amazement.
For there was her husband sitting on a chair. Rocking back and forth his hands in his hair.
Hush little baby don’t say a word. Daddy's gonna buy you a mockingbird. And if that mockingbird won’t sing. Daddy’s gonna buy you a diamond ring.
She heard the song he sang to their daughter so many times. She remembered that he made sure that it rhymed.
But the tone of his voice was more a sound of sorrow and pain. Because he would never see his daughter again.
He stopped singing, he turned and locked eyes with his wife. And then she saw the most terrible thing in her life.
On the table next to the chair she saw the color of brown hair. Initially she thought it was a wig but as she looked further. There was also a body covered in blood and she heard a sound that was nothing but a murmur.
He followed her gaze and with pride in his voice. He explained that he had found a way to fix everything and that they could rejoice
“No longer my dear is it just you and me. Look, we again can be a family of three.”
He took her in his arms and gave her a hug. She froze completely right on the spot
“You are crazy," she whispered. And she repeated it over and over again.
“Our daughter is dead, she’ll never come back!”
And before she knew what was going on he hit her. Wack!!
He stood over her body, a cold stare in his eyes.
“I guess my love it’s time to say your goodbyes.”
He dragged her to the back of the basement where there was an incinerator.
Were tossed her in so no one could find out he was the perpetrator.
There was no remorse. He wasn’t even torn
And that was the day The Nursery Rhyme Killer was born

Marvel — Singers OC 🎼
-> -> -> I was listening to music a lot while looking over my old OC Tyler Sharp and decided why not ;)
-> Disclaimer! I don’t own the anything like the songs mentioned, artist mentioned here are just ideas and I’ve haven’t been in contact with anyone related to this post such as Sony Music. It was just a fun idea I had.
Ana B 🎼
Tumblr media
Full Name: Ariana Sandra De Baillo
Nicknames: Ari, Ana, De Baillo, Princesses of pop, Sandy, Dra
Birthday: June 25th
Age: 25
Height: 5’1
Place of Origin: Brooklyn, New York but grew up around Washington Heights
Currently located: Los Angeles and on occasion Florida.
Specie: Half Human aka Mutant
Abilities: Sonic Screams. She can emit a highly enhanced scream of a high amplitudes. She also has the ability to vibrate her vocal chords at will.
Occupation: Singer and dance. And on occasion a bit of a small vigilante which causes her to be late to concerts and rehearsal sessions.
Type of music she likes to dabble into making: Pop, Latin Pop, R&B, Hip Hip, Rap and some acoustic.
Awards Won so far: Latin America Billboard Awards, Kids Choice Awards, Teen Choice Awards & Premios Juventud Awards
Arianna grew up in the lower east side of Brooklyn to a Ecuador & Mexican mother and Colombian father who always made sure that she was loved. Even if they didn’t have much, her parents made sure she had a roof over her head, food, clothes, and money for a education in New York.
In very late high school, she discovered her love for music and dance (it was given in her culture but still) Ari became in love with it. Listening to music from artists like Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Selena, Shakira and plenty of others. Singing, dancing, rapping and creating music videos using her phone or a actual camera.
—> She would practice dancing in her bedroom, creating videos and then later on uploading them onto YouTube. Especially her covers of songs and funny skits she would make with friends. Eventually a record label (Sony Music), reached out to her and help her start crafting her own.
First songs being The Way, Ready or Not & Hurricane. Being her popular ones too!
During this period of time, Ariana started singing and rapping more instead of just dancing. It was great until one day her voice was really sorely used and decided to rest her vocal chords. Soon enough she got a little cocky and frustrated waiting so long, as she decided to try to sing in her room instead. Screaming out the lyrics, resulting in her vocal chords to ring and a bounce of a quaking strength released, causing her desk to stumble back a little few feet away from her.
“Oh my..d-did i just do that?” She questioned, curiosity took over and she tried again.
It was captivating how powerful it seemed, also it was a small soft advantage to her singing. Ariana wouldn’t admit it, but she feared this power. Wondering how this would effect her career and life in general. It took her months to control it, there was a few accidents and even her manger found out one day, but she pulled though.
—-
Flash forwarded to a few years later, Ana B was singing and dancing on stages, for her own performances and other artists. Performing frontline for Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Cher Lloyd and backup dancing for Fifth Harmony performance for Grammy Awards 2014.
Even being featured in Cher Lloyds songs as well. Due to her mother’s encouragement, Ariana decided to dabble into Latin Pop as well. Her Hispanic roots. Adding a mix of Latin Pop and a bit more R&B into her songs
—> Which resulted in her to featured in Reggaetón Lento with CNCO and Little Mix, create Downtown with J Balvin, and a couple of others. Those are just to name a few. It resulted in her expanding her reach in the music and tv appearance on shows every once in a while.
Tumblr media
——
It was going great until one dark cloudy while visiting Los Angels after chilling at the corner store she heard screams and yelling loudly from a alleyway running to help wearing her black hoodie, just all black in general due to leaving rehearsals a hour earlier.
A two girls were being robbed of their money, Ariana couldn’t stands for it and started to try and fight the robbers. The two girls were trying to fight them too.
One caught her by the wrist and held her backwards, Ariana was pissed off and narrowed her eyes a scream piercing scream filled up a sound attack sending both men to fly backward onto the brick wall. Slamming their heads against the wall, knocked out cold. She didn’t mean to do that, it was a scream of panic and anger.
It shocked Ariana as she turned to the girls, “A-are you okay?”
“Y-yeah..h-how did you do that?” One of them asked, grabbing their purse.
“I um..i just screamed, i guessed.” She replied, trying to cover up what happened.
The other one recognized her and gasp, “Y-your—you’re Ana B!”
Ariana smiled sheepishly and nodded, “..y-yeah i am..you girls should go home. We all should!”
The both girls nodded and gushed realizing that this artist saved their lives. They called the cops and went home. However Ariana spent those next few day rethinking that captivating scream and how she saved those girls. She smiled, it felt good. Real good. It took a few days to quietly decide but Ariana decided to used her gift and saved a few others every once in a while. But since Ariana wasn’t trained or anything, she wasn’t the best low crime fighter, at least she tried..
She took up a bit of boxing and stuff to help with fight. A few short self defense posts and it helps her moves on stage, a lot. Sometimes Ariana would be late to rehearsal dressed in a black outfit afterwards. For example…
At start of a small bank robbery downtown, a few men dressed in grey and black suit came running in. There were guns and shouting, when she sneaked into the place. Everything was fine as she pretended to be one of others until a robber grabbed her grab and smirked, “Oh, not so fast, sweetheart.”
She groaned, using her shoulder to elbow him in the chest, “Don’t grab women, sweetheart.”
Her and one of robbers started to dance, twirling, kicking and spinning around the room. Ariana was thrown across the room, her back landing on a desk near a receptionist as she yelled with her vibrating vocals chords, “Get the cops online..p-please.” The women nodded, doing as told.
Ariana was slammed into a wall, she sighed, “Now I know how The Avengers feel..this hurts.” She glances at the clock, as her eyes widened in shock, 1:23pm, she was going to be late to the studio. Better make this quick.
Taking a deep breath and narrowing her eyes towards the robbers. Like singing loudly into a microphone, Ariana lowering her mask closed her eyes shut as a scream ripped off at a medium amplitude modulation knocking off both men. They stumbled back, holding their ears and full lose balance. The cop sirens went off and Ariana nodded at the receptionist putting a finger over lips, that were covered again by the mask, then ran out.
She arrived 5 minutes late, not the worse thing. If one had to be honest, the girl tend to always be a tad late depending on what day it was. Her manger Naya, rushed her off to get ready asking if she was alright seeing how she looked a little bruised. Ariana smiled, getting an ice pack for her aches and Advil for her pains. Naya was like a big sister to her, making sure she was okay and healthy, however she always wondered what her client was up to when she’s not around.

OKAY OKAY SO!! do you have any book recs?? i want to get back into reading, it feels like i've mostly been focused on writing these days
i have a bunch but most are fantasy!
the folk of the air trilogy - holly black
enemies to friends-ish to enemies to lovers, mc is a badass and the li is so in love (hes also a menace but mc kinda covers that lmao)
this is a 3 book series with a new series that just dropped that happens after the events of these 3 books
the order is: the cruel prince, the wicked king, the queen of nothing, stolen heir (the new book) but there are also books you can read in between (that i havent read myself)
by far the best book series ive read, i would sell my soul to read it again for the first time
circe - madelline miller
this is a story about circe, a godess (i think) from greek myth. the writing was beautiful, but since its myth, if youre not interested i dont reccomend
(same goes w song of achilles by the same writer)
shadow and bone & six of crows - leigh bardugo
(this one has a two season series on netflix too if youre interested)
shadow and bone - 3 books;
mc is so op honestly, she discovers magical powers early in the book and finds out shes grisha (ppl that have magical powers), but not just any grisha, shes a legend grisha, one of a kind
i dont really remember who she ends up with as its been a while since i read the books but one li is an ass while the other gives golden retriever vibes and i didnt like either of them /lh
six of crows - 2 books;
now listen, i didnt actually read these two books but in the tv show the two series are shown at the same time and i like the characters in this one more
badass gang, thats it. (look more info pls dont trust me)
the kane chronicles - rick riordan
percy jackson is so famous people forget this absolute gem right here.
the idea is the same as percy jackson, except this time its about egyptian gods instead (also techically mc isnt a child of the gods)
it has 3 books, with extra crossover books w pjo (that are also really good once you have the basics)
the midnight library - matt haig
i'm actually not sure what category this falls into.
mc has an accident and ends up at a library at exactly midnight, where the weird librarian tells her that this library is her life (of sorts). basically each book in the library is how her life couldve been like based on some decisions she made
and she keeps going to these other versions of her life by reading the books until she realizes hey, she wants to live, and goes back to her original life
not my favorite, but still an okay one
dune - frank herbert
this is a classic, but it was really good
i dont remember the details, all i really remember was that i had sth for the mc
fr tho its really good, give it a go if long books dont intimidate you
as for books to get into reading again, hmmm
cries okay so dont get mad but the cruel prince got me out of a reading slump
momo - michael ende
this book is so well written istg
mc is a child, first of all. and i dont mean like a teen i mean shes 8 max, shes a literal child but its okay bc there isnt that much action in this one
the main idea of the book is about how precious time is, but its told through such an interesting way. there are time thieves that steal other people's time to live, making it look like theyre helping people save time on mundane things, and momo stops them (not in an insane way i promise)
the secret garden - frances hodgson burnett
this is a classic, but dont let that fool you this is a really well written book
this one has almost no action in it btw
mc is also a child here (shes maybe 12 at most), she moves into the mansion of her uncle after her family dies where she starts to behave like an actual child instead of some spoiled princess/lh
so one day while going on a stroll in the garden area (?) bc no one is there to take care of her now, she finds a secret garden and decides hey since no one seems to care for this garden, this is mine now
also there are other children that she befriends along the way that help her w the garden
def recommend
extra;
anne of green gables (this is so long honestly i ended up just watching the series bc the fact that its 8 books intimidated me at the time - ill get to it eventually)
miss peregrines home for peculiar children (also same as above - i loved the concept tho and ill read it eventually)
percy jackson - a classic
Jayden's Rescue & Old Scroll - vladimir tumanov (these are techincally chrildrens books but theyre also great books so)

Yuri is an optimist and a kind person. Contrary to his twin sister, Yuri is quite friendly with everyone and he will help anyone if they are in trouble. However, he will get annoyed and angry when someone tells him that he is a girl or dares to do anything to his twin sister.
Backstory:
Yuri and his twin sister have had to depend on each other since childhood, their parent always fighting each other and they never gave any attention to the twin. Their father was barely at home and their mother was always drunk. Sometimes the mother beat up the twins for very small things, so they had a lot of bruises on their bodies. When Yuri and Morela were 10 years old, their father died because of car accident, their mother was very happy thinking she would be able to take all of her husband's money so she went to the bar and had fun with the celebratory party but she was got robbed and killed on the way back home. Yuri and Morela were forced to move to live with their uncle in England. In here, they had known that their uncle is a wizard, they were taught magic and also changed their last name to his uncle's surname-Hill
Tumblr media
While walking around the house, the twin accidentally discovered a secret room that their uncle didn't tell them. It was a room with nothing but a strange mirror hanging on a wall covered with a cloth. Because of curiosity, the twin removed the cloth and……The twin' journey begin here.
Unique Magic: None
Trivia:
Name "Yuri" meaning "lily flower" in Japan
Yuri has Claustrophobia( fear of confined spaces)
Yuri represents "Intelligence" - the other half of Merlin's soul
Yuri has the ability to become a seer
Yuri can use magic but just a fixed level because the more he uses magic, the more he will lose control of it
Magic the twin has kinda different than magic in Twisted Wonderland so that the Dark Mirror can't sense anything ( that make everyone think that the twin don't have magic )
Yur won't use his magic unless there's an emergency
Because Crowley was too gracious, he refused to provide money for the twin, Yuri have to work at Octavinelle to buy personal items and tuna for Grim
Yuri have a tattoo on his back
Funfact:
Yuri was born 5 minutes after Morela, that why Morela always tease on Yuri by calling him "Her cute baby brother"
Yuri is actually very smart, he is always in the top 10 in his old school and also in the NRC
When Yuri and Morela were a child, they used to a fan of Disney, so when the twin look at the Great Seven, they always feel familiar.
Only few people in school know Yuri can use magic ( yeah, all playable character knows🙂🙂🙂 and Crowley, Crewel )
Yuri often talk to his twin by English (Old trade) when they are alone or whispering
Yuri hates being told he is a girl or being compared to his twin
He like to hang out with the First years and then become their babysitter :)))))
Yuri really really hate Crowley and tired of NRC bullsh*t >:3
Student in NRC didn't like the Yuri at first, then because of "beast tamed", they became more friendly with him
All dormitories want the twin become their member but they always refuses because they thinks they belong to Ramshackle
Crowley really want to adopted the twin but they refuse (of course) :v
P/s: My English is kinda suck so I used google translate, please forgive me if there are any mistakes

⇢ Chapter 2 : Love is a Disease.
⇢ Chapter 3 : Made a little cookie...
Tumblr media
[04/16] Cruel Summer
Living with Yeonjun was pretty easy, he was seldom at home, we went to university in the morning, in different cars of course because god forbid the sunshine princess Yuri to discover that we are living in the same house! End at afternoon he goes practice in his label and I record vídeos, that's something I always wanna do but never had the courage but was so simple here, put the camera in front of my face and talk about makeup composition, and what is better accordingly the skin type, it was a waste of time don't do this in my past life! 
After recording, I do my paperwork and cook. Ji Eun was living her honeymoon, so I was alone. It was like Rapunzel in Tangled. I wake up and do the same thing during one week, I'll die faster of being bored than Hanahaki this way… My phone rings, Soobin's face appears on the screen. Oh lord, he watched me all these days. According to him it was just to guarantee that I would do nothing against Yuri. God gives me patience because if you give me the strength I'll use for evil things! 
"I swear to you that I'm not even close to your princess, I'm alone at home with nothing to do so please, don't piss me off!" He stays in silence and this was worse than him speaking about Yuri "Ya Soobin, something is happening?"
"I have an emergency, can you help me please?" I start to pick my things and put them in my bag.
"Of course, I can, where are you?" I can hear Soobin clean his throat.
"In front of Yeonjun's house..." I took the camera panel, Soobin was using a black turtleneck t-shirt covering his chin. I know what this is about, I open the door looking at him seriously.
"Welcome to my clandestine consortium" I point to inside the house "My office is the second door on the left, wait for me there, I'll need to pick my materials, make yourself comfortable" 
Soobin almost ran, that means that the thing in his face is a big problem, so where is the apple vinegar, Yeonjun has an aloe vera here somewhere, okay the other things are in my room. When I open the door and Soobin sits fast like he was doing a wrong thing, so suspicious. I put mascara on my face and vinegar on my desk.
"Let me see the problem," I say point to his chin, Soobin blushes when he shows me his acne problem, oh lord, it was big! "Okay, now put your head up, here it goes some homemade medicine" I soaked the cotton with apple cider vinegar and apply in a soft way in the área "What's happening? Are you anxious? Or forgot about drink water?" Soobin stays in silence, but his eyes show that he was just embarrassed to say, and that's how I know "Did you see them kissing?" He surprises to answer, I hold the hiccup, "Don't need to hold your feelings in front of me Soobin, it's me, remember?" I oaked another cotton with a saline solution now and apply on his skin, the vinegar will adjust his skin Ph.D., the saline solution will hydrate and aloe will not let any marks there. 
"How do you handle this?" He asks in a choked voice, I hold his hand and put it above the cotton, under my bed, she took a bag, full of the petals I already sobbed and show him.
"I don't, so please don't hide your feelings, you are a sensible person, and is allowed to cry here, even if it is for that girl, now let me put the pomade on this acne" When I finish the dressings I can see the tears running for Soobin's face, I dry them using the back of my hands "This will pass Soobin, will be all in the past one day, I promise" I hug him and let him cry everything that's inside his heart "We should see a dramatic movie, will help put our feelings out, I'm gonna see Beomgyun oppa collection and you ask for ice cream okay?" I give to taps on his shoulder before leaving my room. 
Ji Eun and Taehyun observes when Yeonjun gets to his home, and prepare themselves to start the plan "Romantic travel" They chase him until to the door, but Yeonjun stops suddenly and for one moment Taehyun think he would break the only rule of Yeonjun, never touch him, but Ji Eun is more fast and smart holding her boyfriend, her heart almost stop thinking about what Yeonjun founds that makes him paralyzed, something happens with Suji? She runs passing Yeonjun without touching him to save her best friend from herself, if needed she will obligate her last words to be a love confess for Yeonjun. But everything she saw was Suji sleeping on the couch and… Soobin sleeping on the floor! That girl lost her mind!
It was difficult to open my eyes, they were too swollen because of crying, but I need wake up Soobin for him to go home, when I finally can see something is three angry faces, Taehyun, Ji Eun, and Yeonjun.
"Hey guys, what are you doing?" I ask trying to play innocent, discreetly kicking Soobin's feat, his eyes open and when he sees the situation he uses the blanket to cover himself as if he had been caught in bed with a lover, I don't judge cause I was kinda feeling this way too "Do you wanna watch movies with us?"
"No," Says Yeonjun sharply "Did you tell him?"
"Tell me what?" Soobin was pretending to be confused? He was covering for me? For real? That was a real advance! 
"Why are you watching romantic movies with her…" Yeonjun points at the DVD "When you are in love with another girl?" Soobin laughs sarcastically.
"Suji is not just your friend, you know Choi Yeonjun? This is not your business if I'm watching movies with her" They start to stare at each other, so I try to break the tension.
"Unnie, you finally remember me!" I scream, so she comes out of the trance, and looks angry at me. 
"I never forgot you"She appoints Taehyung right in her side "We never did, it's the otherwise, we came here to propose a trip with us!" She says excitedly. 
"I love you both so much, but not enough to go in a couple of travel as a plus one!" My friend truly lost her mind. 
"I can go with you guys" Soobin and Yeonjun say at the same time.
 Did I lose something?
Tumblr media
[ While this, in our universe...]
DANNY: Come back to the subject that never dies or leaves the trending topics, Yuri, the supposedly real Yeonjun girlfriend, keeps claiming that Suji was involved with the person that was stalking Yeonjun …
DAVID: And, that Suji organized the car accident!
DANNY: Well the enterprise that Suji is one of the owners, and her family already affirms that they will process Yuri for defamation, slander, and perjury! 
DAVID: And how do we know Yuri was dismissed last week from her duties from Yeonjun's company.
Tumblr media
[05/16] What is Love?
I force Ji Eun to sit on my bed, she owns me some explanations, what plan was that to travel? With Yeonjun and Soobin? She tries to look cute and I give her a sharp look that makes her looks otherwise.
"Tell me what you are planning unnie!" She plays with her blouse sleeve "Unnie..."
"In my defense, I was thinking just brought Yeonjun with us, but two chances are better than one!" I stare at her without understanding "You looked so peacefully sleeping next to Soobin, maybe you can heal each other don't you think?" I sigh.
"Unnie, do you think if my feelings were that superficial I would develop Hanahaki?" Ji Eun's eyes became full of tears.
"I just can't lose you Suji, you don't understand that? Maybe your life is not precious for you, but me? Is everything!" The way she talks remind me of the Ji Eun I left in my previous life, my heart breaks thinking that we couldn't say goodbye to each other "You was the first person to call me unnie, you helped me choose a name that suits me when my parents kicked me out oh lord, you buy a house for we leave together! You're not just my best friend, you are my soulmate Suji! I can not lose you without a fight!"
She was right, I received another chance, in the words I always dream about, and why I'm not fighting for my life?  I hug my friend, the world was so unfair here too. This part of her was never shown in the manhwa, the secondary character deserves better! Where is Rick Riordan when we need him? 
"So, where you wanna go?" I ask, she smiles evilly. 
"Camping" She up her arms in a cheerful way, oh yes, she divides her only brain cell with her boyfriend. 
"Okay, that's mean just Soobin can go..." I even finished my sentence and Yeonjun entered my room.
"That's unfair!" I don't believe he listened to everything!
"Choi Yeonjun, you really will go sleep in the middle of a forest? On the floor?" He steps back, biting his bottom lip.
"Why has to be camping?"He asks Ji Eun "We can go to the best hotel in Taiwan, or Thailand! I pay don't worry!" Ji Eun looks not convinced.
"My Suji need's fresh air" Yeonjun arched his left eyebrow.
"Can be a resort hotel..." He says and this makes Ji Eun smiles.
"In Thailand..." She completes.
"Deal!" Ji Eun holds my left hand, Yeonjun holds my right hand, and they shake sealing the contract through me.
"Thanks for the free trip hyung," Soobin says in the door smiling sarcastically media, Taehyun shows his big thumb's up happy like a child because of this trip "Where do we leave?"
"This Friday, I will take care of everything the black card please" She stands her hand to Yeonjun. 
"I don't have physical cards, I will send my information for you on your phone"  Ji Eun leaves the room jumping all happy. 
"Okay, it's already late guys, you should go home, we get up early tomorrow" I start to guide them to the front door, I make sure to let my Bonnie and Clyde couple inside the car and watch them go, so I walk with Soobin until his car, we stop and stare each other "Don't forget to eat things with C vitamin okay?"I give a last look at his acne, Soobin closes his eyes embarrassed "Send me a message when you get home okay?"
"Okay, are you okay with all this Suji?" The way he looked at me remembered my old Soobin, I smiled. 
"Yes, like unnie says, I need some fresh air" He holds my shoulder. 
"Can you not really say about your feelings for him?" I take a deep breath.
"No, I don't wanna his pity, but that's doesn't mean that I give up on life, I'll find a way don't worry, I'm too young to accept death so easily..."
"SUJI IT'S GONNA BE LATE!" Yeonjun screams from the fire escape window? "LET SOOBIN GO HOME AND COME BACK!" What heck is wrong with this boy today? Soobin gives me his little smile.
"Let me piss him off just a little bit Suji," He says, then he… hug me. 
"YA! WHAT ATTITUDE IS THAT SOONBIN?" Soobin laugh softly in my ear, my neck shiver with his breath, lord I'm not made of steel "SUJI, COME BACK HOME!" Soobin give me a forehead kiss "WAIT A MINUTE I'M GOING DOWN THERE!" Yeonjun keeps screaming, Soobin gives him a finger heart and enters his car. 
"Don't forget to send me a message when you get home, understood?" He agrees, and I see him leaves before comeback home, Yeonjun waits for me at the door with a serious face "What?"
"Did you tell him or not?" Why he was being so angry and impatient.
"Why are you being like that? You think he gonna give up Yuri just because of my feelings that's it? I already tell you that I'm not gonna do this!" I walk away from him, but Yeonjun follows me.
"Do you truly believe that is because of that?" I keep walking in silence "Do you think that you meaningless to me?" I stop at my room door, turns to him, and give a step in his direction, Yeonjun steps back, but I keep going until the wall stops him from running, looking deep in his eyes, we are close enough to feel each other's breath.
"What did I mean to you Yeonjun?" My heart beats so fast for being that close to him, but I didn't show, I  cross my arms and wait for the unswear that I know will not come "Don't play the jealous older brother on me, we have the same age."
"So why don't you act like the age that we have? Playing with a dangerous disease like a child?  Why are you so desperate to die Hwa Suji?" How should I think in an appropriate disobedient answer when his lips are just so close? I close my eyes and take a deep breath.
"Why do you care at the end Yeonjun?" I turn my back to him and go to my room, but before I got there he hugs me by the shoulders. 
"Because you were there when mom passed away, you hug me, you and Beomgyu take care of me the last thirteen years, the only people that I still feel completely comfortable in touch, when dad was mad at me for being like this you protect me, like a guardian angel, I don't wanna lose you, I can't lose you..." His words, he is so close, I can feel his heartbeat in my back, I can not surrender.
"So why don't you believe in me when I say that I didn't hurt Yuri that day? How could you doubt so much about my word?" I knew it would hurt him, but I can't take it anymore, I can feel the petals taste, he steps back, so I run to my room and lock myself. 
Tumblr media
[ While this, in our universe...]
DAVID: So to the next news! Miss Choi Yuri is fighting for the place of the most hated person in this country! 
DANNY: Last night she posted on her socials media a selca of her and Yeonjun as proof that they are in a relationship and MOAS answer "If this is proof, he is dating every employed of the company" because Yeonjun is friendly and polite to everybody.
Tumblr media
[06/16]
The sunlight in my skin was healing, in my headphone IU songs, I don't care anymore if they are romantic or not, I just can not handle hearing Ji Eun fighting with Yeonjun because he tricked her saying that Beomgyu would come with us but at the end was Yuri, and IU's voice keeps me calm to not throw up the petals inside me.
When the boat leaves us in the floating hut I know how amazing is to have money, for real, once in my life, everything was so beautiful, I didn't bother to say anything to the others and just leave the boat first. 
"Miss Hwa Suji?" One of the employees says, I just confirm with a smile "Please follow me your place is this way" He guides me to where I'm gonna stay and there have more than two employees when we got closer I recognized at the exact time, Hueningkai! What he was doing here?
"Welcome to Paradise Resort Hotel," He says synchronized with the other guy. He didn't recognize me?  Oh yeah, he probably stills with face blindness. 
"Hi Hueningkai, it's me Suji!" His eyes are wide, and give me a big beautiful smile.
"Hanahaki noona!" Hueningkai walks in my direction and hugs me.
"Sir Hueningkai that's not an appropriate way to treat our guests..." Hueningkai smiles at the guy who guides me.
"She is my sick friend Taeho, you can tell my mom that I would be her" He put his arm on my shoulder "Private guide, secretary, whatever she needs for this weekend there's no need to send anyone else, let's go noona"
"Wait you work here? That's amazing, this place is so beautiful!" I say look around us, the ocean blue water the little village that would be where we gonna stay for the weekend, for one moment the Presence of Hueningkai make me forgot my friends, I'm a terrible person I know. but he is like the sunlight, his presence glare everything.
"My mom is the owner of this resort, she put me to work cause she believes face blindness is just because I have nothing to do..."He smiles was sad, should hard be so far from home "But now I got you noona" He brings his face close to mine and I paralyze "The guy is here, he is one of your friends?" 
"Yes" I was dazzling because of his proximity, I could see that his chocolate eyes got little green spectrums. 
"So let's make feel bad for not choosing you!" I smiled, he was a true child soul.
"What is your plan?" He kisses my cheek which shocked me. 
"I will be your pawn! But let's hurry, there so much thing for you to do here" Hueningkai pick my bags and go to inside the hut, I follow him, when we are inside my room is bigger than my past life apartment, I got speechless is so beautiful, the American kitchen style, my king size bed, oh my, I got a hot tub, okay I accepted death now "Okay, now we are alone you have to tell me your history with details so I can act properly noona."   
I make a resume about everything I lived and everything I remember about the history, Hueningkai listens with all his attention, when I finished it as a weight leave my chest, was so heavy to carry all this around all the time. 
"Well, now you know, I'm a villain..." I say kinda sad "But why you're helping me?"
"After being cheated I know how it hurts to feel that you do not choose, and noona, you seem to be a kind person, no way you are not a villain, did you have an evil laugh?"
"MUAHAHAHA" I make an Impression and he snaps his disappointment.
"Has to be more like MUUAHAHAHA" Okay, Hueningkay stands for happiness and joy, that's it! "Now you have to change, I already know what we gonna do, don't forget the camera I see you in half-hour deal?"
"Deal!"  When he leaves the room Ji Eun comes in, her eyes tell everything "He is just a friend that I met in the hospital that time..."
"AND YOU GOT THAT CLOSE MEETING JUST ONCE?" I put a swimsuit under my blue dress, I choose the right blue match with this beautiful ocean and make an amazing contrast Hueningkai didn't say where we go so it's better to be prepared.
"What can I say? Hueningkai is a friendly person..." And he let me forget about my death sentence, I complete in my head "He invited me to a tour in this place, do you wanna come? I'm sure it will be fun, he is a nice guy." Ji Eun analyzed me suspicious yet about my relationship with Hueningkai I bet.
"No, this will be my revenge, I know you were all excited about your friend that you didn't notice that option one and two almost die in jealous with all this affection" Ji Eun laughs, okay that's an evil laugh, a good one for sure. "So you go, and I'm gonna start a rumor about being a date… MUAHAHAHA"
 "Okay, Maleficent! Take it easy, I don't wanna bring problems to Hueningkai, he just got his heart broken so please…." I even finished and Ji Eun got her eyes glowing in excitement.
"He got a heartbreak and you can heal him, that's so ROMANTIC!" Okay, I lose her "Please focus on your day, don't think about anything else!"
I was finishing my makeup when Hueningkai knocks on the door I pick a red bracelet so he can always find me and put it in my arm, he offers his arm and I take, he changes his closes too, on the way to the boat someone calls my name, Yeonjun's voice, but I just ignore, he didn't bring Yuri? So stay with her!  Heuningkai stands his hand to help me enter the boat, his hands were so soft.  
"That was the guy?" He asks, I sigh.
"Let's please don't talk about this today, please, I just wanna stand with you and forgot about him, her, and my diseases..." My voice started to choke and my eyes filled with tears, so he holds my hand with more strength. 
"Okay, but bad news, my mom wants to meet you, maybe it's because of your dad, but before this, we are free, you have something in your mind already?" Everything here was so beautiful that I didn't know what to do first, I look at our arms…
"Here has a place when you can do henna tattoos?" Hueningkai looks at me like I was the crazy person he ever met.
"Probably some walking worker on the beach… You have simple wishes for someone that is going out with the heir of this resort" He smiles at me.
"Well I think I got a list, maybe you don't think this when you hear..." Hueningkai arches his left eyebrow, but before he could ask anything we got to a restaurant in the middle of the sea! Was not and Iland, the restaurant was half under the sea! That's what remember me I'm in a manhwa, that's was not possible in another world! 
The metri recognized Hueningkai at first sight, and quickly guide us to his mom's table, which was far from other ones, inside that place was amazing, how the windows hold the water pressure? Hueningkai's mom doesn't smile at us, she looks at me up to down, I never met moms before, and I don't know if this counts cause of me and him, we are just friends! 
"So you're the famous Hwa Suji, the heir of Hwa Cosmetic's" Oh she was that kind of person.
"Yes, is a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Kamal!" I smile at her and she smiled back, okay I can breathe again.
"What brings you here this weekend?" She points something in the menu for the waiter without saying or asks us anything.
"Hum, me and my friends we got a hard week at university and decide to clean our minds a little bit to not freaking out" I drink the water on the table, ew, was sparkling water, why? 
"See Hueningkai, your friend goes to the university! I heard you're doing chemical engineering dear..." Okay, she searches for me.
"Yes, I will work in this part of my family conglomerate, makeup, and skincare, my cousins will take care of administrative business." The table is served with all kinds of seafood, Hueningkai got even quieter.
"You're another level indeed, nothing compare to that Jinnah one!" Heuningkai's right hand closes in a fist.
"Can we please don't talk about this?" His voice was just a whisper.
"I'm just saying..."
"Hueningkai is a special person, I think I never met someone so kind and funny, I doubt he would be able to like someone that is not in my league, and I'm not that special I swear but he stills wants to be my friend!" Hueningkai lightly messes my hair.
"You're the silly girl in this world! Mom, she truly believes that she is a villain because she is pretty and rich!' After that our lunch became happier. 
When we leave the restaurant I'm sure that his mom is already planning our wedding, the traveling in the boat until the bay takes less than twenty minutes, so a valet parking brings a motorcycle, Hueningkai gets up hers and offers me a helmet my heart beats fast, I never walk on one of this, I feel like Bella Swan on New Moon jumping in Jacobs croup, he laughs because of my excitement, once I hug him from behind he asks.
"Did you ever have a boyfriend?" Thankfully he can't see my face burning, even my caramel skin could hide that. 
"No.."I whisper, he seems tense for a feel second, but comes back to be the relaxed boy.
"That's okay, so I will be your boyfriend today" So he starts to run on the streets, I hold him with more strength, he smells like a baby too, then I leave an arm free to feel the air, that was happiness, the melody inside my heart starts. 
"Live up to what was expected of me, it was a burden to be, so now I decide… I'm gonna be happy.." I sing softly.
"I'm gonna be happy.."Hueningkai sings with me we laugh.
"I'm tired of being bluue, I'll live like a flower made of happiness ready to bloom.." He sings the melody "Cause now I decide to choose happiness!" 
"We got a composer here! You are a box full of surprises, miss Hwa Suji!" He says before parking the bike, Hueningkai helps got my feet on the ground again "What tattoo you have in mind?"
"We should do it together one, what do you think about stars? Our horoscope sign! What is yours?" He looks at me like didn't understand anything I say "When is your birthday?" I knew that we have the same sun sign but how I would explain this to him?
"August 14th.." He says slowly, a little bit suspicious. 
"I'm August 7th! We're both Lions!" I put my hands up pretending surprise. 
"RAWN" Hueningkai roar. Okay, he kills me with his cuteness now, I put my right hand in the left side of my chest, my heart will explode I'm sure. 
That was the best day ever, I love every minute with Hueningkai, we made a lion constellation on our shoulder, and I made a tulip on my wrist, we stay on the beach the rest of the afternoon, he brings me back to the village at the sunset, I watched Hueningkai leaves with a smile on his face. When he disappears on the horizon I go to my hut, needing a good shower, or a bathtub!
Nothing compares to the feeling of being clean, mostly in a damp place like that, I put on an oversize shirt, send a message to Ji Eun, verify if she is a life and don't murder anyone, and while she doesn't answer I braid my hair, so someone knocks the door, she was fast! I run to answer, I have to tell her everything, but when I open the door, I found Yeonjun cover in...mud? He was petrified in my door, his eyes full of tears.
"What's happening?" Yeonjun opens and closes his mouth without making a sound "Come in, I have your emergency closes in my bag, go to the shower take of that closes, oh my god, where they take you Yeonjun?"  He takes everything, and ends up in his underwear, Yeonjun looks so fragile, my heartbreak, I feel the tears fullying my eyes, but was not the moment to cry.
I put him in the tub already full of water again he observes me in silence when I started washing his hair, probably thinking about what happened to him end up like that, so I picked the soup bar and put it in his hand "I know that's your dream being washed by a hot girl, but not today!" So Yeonjun start to clean his arms and chest, I help clean his back, when we take all the mud I leave him alone so he could dress. 
I send another message to Ji Eun demand an answer, why he was like that? Why he was like that and where are they!?
"Suji" Yeonjun's voice wasn't more than a whisper.
"Come here, I will put alcohol in gel first, and later we will be hydrated okay?" He didn't say anything just let me do what I say "When will you tell me what is happening?"
"We go to mangrove and Yuri fall in the mood, I try to save her…"
"Is she okay?" He shakes his head affirmatively "Did you save her?" I remember vaguely about this accident on the history, Yeonjun confirmed again "Why you are not with her right now?" 
"'Cause I just feel safe by your side" His brutal honesty sinks on my skin, I tried to remember myself that I'm not the female lead, that if I let myself be deluded by these words I'll get hurt.
"Are you with fever?" With the back of my hand on his forehead, I measure his temperature compared to mine "Okay you gonna melt, lay on the bed, I'm gonna make ginger tea…"
I left him alone and went to the kitchen. I need air, when I come back he drinks the whole tea in one gulp, he lay his head, so I soaked the towel in cold water and put it in his head.
"Why did you run with that guy?" I look confused, the fever was really strong on him, he was speaking no sense.
"I don't runway, I just met a good friend, and you all have your pairing, Ji Eun and Taehyun, you and Yuri and Soobin, so I decide to spend the day with him, you know that I hate being a plus one" I put the towel in his forehead again.
"You seem happy with him..."I smiled remembering the day with Hueningkai.
"He makes me forget about all worries, my broken heart, my disease around him there is no drama, I'm not a villain" Yeonjun bites his bottom lip, which was dangerous with me so close.
"I don't wanna make you feel like a villain, that's not what you mean to me" His confession makes my heart melt.
"Yuri makes me feel like a villain, not you, but I think is not her fault or mine, just the fact that the guy I'm in love with is in love with her makes our relationship difficult? I'm human at the end." Yeonjun sighs.
"So how do I make you feel?" He asks at last.
"Like a male lead in a drama"His eyes open more "Because I'm always rescuing you!" I remember about us in the past life run from the crazy guy, and my character canon, I show him the soaked towel, and we laugh. 
Tumblr media
[ While this, in our universe...]
DANNY: And now, the subject in all weeks! But now, I think things are getting really interesting! 
DAVID: Because a car accident caused by a lunatic was enough for him.
DANNY: Now we got real drama!
DAVID: Cause people between life and death are not drama enough for him!
DANNY: The security cameras record the moment Hwa Suji saves Choi Yeonjun of his stalker! 
DAVID: I wish I have a girl to save me like this…
DANNY: And in response, MOAS believes that she is the real girlfriend. 
DAVID: And this makes Yuri published prints what she says they prove off personal conversations! But the scene of Suji saving Yeonjun is already being replicated in dramas all over Asia, and it's a trend on tik-tok all over the world!  
DANNY: That makes Suji and Yeonjun the new one true paring on Korea!

I really like the song bloodshot by Sam Timnez right now or Legend by the Score and I think they'd fit the hitman himself pretty well going from vibes. Have fun with this! <3
Thank you for these! I listened and wrote to both songs, but I’d say I was more inspired by The Score for the drabble below. Maybe I can dedicate a separate one to Bloodshot sometime. : )
youtube
It was nearly over. All 47 had to do was move past a few more train cars and he would be able to finally confront Edwards.
47 used the fuse cell he found to overload the lights, blinding the group of Providence commandos posted on the flat car. As they fumbled around from their pained retinas, he ran past them and snuck into the next train car. He wanted to progress as quietly and quickly as possible. He didn’t come this close to his goal only to ruin it with reckless revenge.
He immediately took cover behind a crate and waited for his opportunity. There were two Providence commandos talking a few feet away, so 47 would need them to separate before he could pacify them and move forward. He listened carefully and waited for his opportunity.
“So what’s the deal with this guy anyway?” asked the man leaning against the wall of the car.
The second commando, leaning over paperwork at another crate, flipped through the files in front of him. “What, do you live under a rock? How have you never heard of Burnwood’s assassin? The ghost? He’s a legend.”
The first man snorted. “That guy? Didn’t seem so special when we brought him in half-dead.”
“Why do you think we’re all here? The Providence corporate retreat? It’s all because we share a train with him.”
47 heard more shuffling of papers and peeked around the corner to see the second commando sharing files with the other.
“He has over a hundred confirmed target kills, but who knows what the actual number is. He tends to kill quietly or with accidents, then he hides the bodies until they get discovered days later, if ever. He’s assassinated the Partners, Heralds….hell, he killed the Washingtons at Sgàil and that thing is a fortress.”
“Okay, the Sgàil thing is impressive.”
“Exactly! Oh, and….” Another file was handed to the leaning commando. “Can’t forget about this one.”
“Jesus! What happened there?”
“The man killed everyone at his own funeral.”
“Did you say his ‘funeral’?” 
“Yep. One day he’s declared dead, the next he kills everyone that was dumb enough to believe it.”
“Huh. I would love to know the story behind that.”
“No one’s probably left alive to tell it.” 
“True.” The first commando handed back the files. “Well, it looks like he won’t be something to worry about for much longer.”
“Who knows. All I know is I’m glad I’m up here, and he’s all the way back there.”
The first commando mumbled an affirmative as the second whistled and returned to leaning over his files. 47 held still as the man started patrolling towards his hiding spot, reaching for the door. He walked out just long enough to let the door close before 47 quietly incapacitated him. He pulled his sleeping form back inside the car and set him quietly onto the floor. 
“Did you forget something?” asked the commando over his shoulder. 
The man was too invested in his files to notice 47’s shadow quickly closing in. But he definitely had a split second to hear what was said before a pair of arms tightened around his neck.
“Boo.”

Former NU'EST member Ren - "Idol actors got a lot of hate but I broke that prejudice" (X's Interview - 2)
Tumblr media
[source - This is the second part of a three-part interview. Part 1, Part 3]
In the musical Bungee Jumping of Their Own, former NU'EST member Ren (Choi Mingi) takes on the role of high school student Hyunbin who confuses Inwoo through his actions associated with Taehee.
When told that the role of a uniform-wearing high school student suits him, he chattily said, "There's no difference for me, of course."
"I hear this a lot from the people around me. They said I look quite immature. They don't mean anything negative, but it's like I'm a piece of paper to be drawn on, a blank sheet of paper." (laughs)
The musical Bungee Jumping of Their Own is a production revealing love story that transcends time, space, and death. Like "paper to be drawn on," Ren intended to make the character of Hyunbin his own.
"I try it this way and that way and challenge myself. I also do a lot of adlibs. It puts a fun element in the scene where we discover a lighter in an antiques shop with Hyeju. When we see the lighter, the original line is 'I'll buy it,' but when Hyeju says 'I want everything,' I say 'I'll buy you everything,' 'Just kidding.' I try out the adlibs with the actors who play Hyeju before the show."
Tumblr media
This production is a romantic melodrama unfolding through the "reincarnated relationship" of Inwoo and Taehee in the spring of 2001, though they had already been fated to fall in love in the spring of 1983.
After she had taken cover under his umbrella, Inwoo felt that he was destined to love Taehee. But she died in an accident, and seventeen years later, Inwoo, now a Korean language teacher, goes through an internal conflict when he meets Hyunbin who reminds him of Taehee.
"I believe in reincarnation. Even the people I've met now, I might have already known them in my past life. I think I've clearly met them somewhere before. I'm trying to live righteously so I can be reborn well in the next life. When my grandfather passed away, I also prayed that he would be reincarnated into a good person. I got so immersed in thinking I was Taehee when I was acting."
Tumblr media
Emotions hit their peak in Ren's solo song, "It's Not My Fault." It's a number that shows a confused Hyunbin's feelings and actions as he sings, "I have no idea what's happening to me." Then in "Memories," Hyunbin strives to relay his mental state to the audience while processing the return of Taehee's memories.
"Although the emotions are important, I paid a lot of attention to the tune. Haha. Since 'It's Not My Fault's' pitch goes back and forth. Once the emotions come in, the tune wavers, but when I pay attention to the tune, I'm not thinking too much of the emotions. This part was really difficult to practice. After recording and performing, I always check with the other actors on what they'd heard. If they say that I was a bit flat that day, I pay more attention to that part and keep practicing. We gave each other a lot of advice."
Ren's favorite number is "Did You Hear?," a sweet love song that Taehee sings to Inwoo when they go hiking together. It evokes a deep affection that makes one believe that even if they jump off the cliff and end this life, it's not the end.
"I love 'Did You Hear.' The performance itself is also beautiful. When the noonas who play Taehee (Choi Yeonwoo, Lee Junghwa, Ko Eunyoung) reach out their hands and sing this song in the practice room, even if there are no props or devices there, I associate it with singing out in nature. That's the power of this song."
Tumblr media
Ren, who debuted in 2012 in the boy group NU'EST, first appeared as a musical actor in the 2020 musical Jamie. Having gone through Hedwig in 2021 and now Bungee Jumping of Their Own, he's slowly amassing his filmography.
"Everyone around me said that I'd probably do well in musicals, that my life is like a musical. (laughs) I think it's because I give out good synergy to people. I like making people laugh, and I always think about how proud and happy I am when I see that other people are having fun because of me. So when the chance to be in a great production like Jamie came around, I made my debut and kept going up one step at a time since then."
It's normal for idols or singers to appear in musicals. Through musicals, singers who are armed with various talents like singing, dancing, and acting aren't limited, and can widen the scope of their activities.
In the past, there were many cases when leads were cast at once even in situations where their talent wasn't guaranteed, but it's different now. The number of cases where one strengthens their place in the field of musical theater only after going through rigorous training is increasing. Stable singing ability and acting are being rediscovered.
Tumblr media
One of those people is Ren, as he tells us, "There are definitely prejudices against idol musical actors, but I don't worry about that."
"I don't have any biases since we're all people who sing and dance. So I'm fairly confident on that part. Actually, when I did Hedwig, I got a lot of hate from the public. When the cast was announced, there were really impressive sunbaenims there, like Jo Seungwoo and Oh Manseok. I was really proud but I also got a lot of hate. There were a lot of people who thought 'Ren can do Hedwig?' and I broke that prejudice."

Skinty Fia by Fontaines D.C.
The band Fontaines D.C. have had a presence in music since 2017, after meeting in a pub and bonding over their combined love of poetry. I first discovered them this year, after accidently missing their set at Latitude festival in July I decided to dig deeper in their music - however it just made me more annoyed at myself for forgetting about them when they were live. So, if you get the opportunity... GO AND SEE THEM LIVE!!!
Their latest album’s title “Skinty Fia”, is an old Irish phrase meaning “the damnation of the deer”- which signifies the Dublin quintet’s views on the loss of tradition and the modern culture of Ireland. The animosity of the extinct Irish Elk on the cover of the album resembles the bands stand-offish nature and their ever-evolving relationship with Irish culture and tradition. Despite the band moving to London two years ago it is very much evident that they have not lost touch with their roots. With “Skinty Fia” being their third album and their most experimental, its is a more than acceptable follow up from their last albums; “A Heroes Death” (2020) and “Dogrel” (2019). It is clear that the band show their interest in traditional and classical literature through their music - Chatten describing his influences as James Joyce and William Butler Yeats.  
The first track on the album “In ár gCroíthe go deo” is a ethereal fall down the rabbit hole of the album. The meaning behind the title of this track is steeped in contentiousness between English and Irish communities to this day. The family of an Irish woman living in Coventry wanted a Celtic cross bearing these words on her gravestone, with the meaning “in our hearts forever”- an ode to her Irish heritage. However, the Church on England contested this saying the gravestone could be viewed as “a political statement” (BBC NEWS) and insisted on an English translation. This eerie track was written to honour the family, and after they won on the grounds of racial discrimination.
My favourite track on the album is “Roman Holiday”, in his own words, Lead singer Grian Chatten -in an interview with Rolling Stone,  said about Roman Holiday: “I think it’s about wanting to sort of go out and embrace London as an Irish person. […] The reason I use the word “embrace,” trying to talk about this, is because in a sense, especially when you surround yourselves or almost insulate yourself with people who are from the same area as you in a new country — most of my friends here are from Dublin as well — the effect is that you begin to look for it or love it. You want reminders of the fact that you’re part of this group of people that are still sort of mocked and told to go home. At some point, you start to wear as like a badge of honour, and that’s what that song is. It’s a celebration of that flipping, from it being a bad thing into a positive thing.”
The music video for “Jackie down the line” - the fourth track on the album captures themes of desire with a modernist twist on a Shakespearian classic. We see a puck like character adorned with a red pointed hat and a adidas tracksuit on dropping roses- a well know symbol of lust and desire, on a sleeping Titania. When collecting more and more of these roses and displaying his increasing desire for his unsuspecting lover, he stumbles across other women indicative of Titania’s servant fairies – Titania discovers the two parties engaging with each other and uses her power and violence (in the form of a bow and arrow) to kill both the people and their desire.
Overall the album is a reflection on their steady rise to post punk greatness and is a guarenteed great listen.
