MOTH TO A FLAME

Chapter One: The invitation

Chapter Summary: After starting a new job at a prestigious museum in London, you form a close friendship with Helaena Targaryen. You're surprised when she invites you to stay at her family's estate for the summer holidays. [1.4k]

[aegon targaryen x reader, modern!HOTD AU ]

masterlist

Warnings: 18+ for explicit language, smut in future chapters, and talk of bugs. If there's any I missed let me know!

note: this is my first story in a really long time, I hope y'all like it! also, I actually have no idea how curating a museum works, this is just a general idea of what I thought it might look like lol

You're running out of breath when you reach the back doors of the museum. Your skin feels moist from a mixture of light rain and sweat beading on your skin from your run from the station. You quickly plug in the code to the door and step through, quickly shaking off your jacket and putting your things in your assigned locker. You check your watch and wince at the time, making your way out of the employees-only area into the lobby of the museum. The museum always has a scent of dried paint mingled with a faint aroma of coffee emanating from the café at the entrance of the museum.

You spot Helaena from a distance. She’s leaning against a pillar, fiddling with her key card that hangs around her neck. As soon as she sets her eyes on you, her eyes light up. She straightens up and moves to meet you halfway, pulling you into a hug.

“I thought you weren’t going to make it.” she laughs. You roll your eyes, fixing stray hairs. You can’t help the smile that makes its way onto your face.

“I swear Ari has it out for me” you sigh. Ariadne was your Australian shepherd puppy. She was the cheekiest little thing, taking socks, shoes and now apparently your keys to play with. “I swear I’m always putting the keys in the key bowl when I get home but she manages to take them and hide them.”

“Sure,” Helaena says, leading you into the Entomology department. “Blame it on the dog.”

You met Helaena when you started working at the museum three months ago. You had been job searching for ages and finally came across a job that happened to be in a country completely different than the one you resided in. You packed your bags and took a leap of faith, moving to London on your own, only accompanied by your trusty puppy.

You had always loved the idea of working in a museum and hadn’t thought it all the way through so where you arrived you were placed in the entomology department alongside Helaena. Together, you carefully managed the ever-growing collection of beetles, butterflies and moths, dragonflies and damselflies.

You settled into your respective desks, papers stacked high and your computer buzzing with incoming research articles and showcase preparations. Helaena sits across from you, fiddling at her own desk, pulling up her email.

“Oh shit, did you see the new collection of dragonflies we have coming in?” she asked, fingers suddenly dancing over her keyboard. “It looks like they’re butterfly dragonflies.” She enthuses and you both gradually get lost in your screens.

After a couple of hours, the day slows down and starts to go by agonizingly slow. There was only so much excitement a small batch of dragonflies could provide and you found yourself mindlessly combing through different online stores.

After lunch, you hadn’t much left to do anyway. Showcases were mostly set up and you had already sifted through and organized a set of potato beetles you hadn’t done last week. Your eyes flicker over to Helaena as walks back to her desk, sliding her chair from one point of her L-shaped desk to another. She’s holding her phone up to her ear, listening fervently to the person on the other side. She nods every now and then, letting out small mhms. Her eyebrows are furrowed in concentration, her lips in a tight line as she uses her free hand to jot down notes on a pad. She nods one last time before bidding the person on the line goodbye and placing her phone down on her desk.

You watch her with your hands tucked under your chin, eyebrows raised as if to say sooo. She leans back in her reclining desk chair, stretching her feet out in front of her. She lets out a whistle and taps her fingers on the wood of her desk.

“You got anything planned for the holidays?” she asked, squinting at you, lips pursed out. You pretend to think for a second, eyes floating up to the ceiling before answering.

“I don’t think so. I don't have the funds to fly back home just yet so I’m gonna be here.” You state. A smile breaks out on Helaena’s face and she claps her hands.

“Great,” she begins, sauntering over to your desk and leaning over it. “Then you can come with me to the family estate.”

You blink, caught off guard at the invitation. “Your family’s estate? You’re sure I wouldn’t be impeding?”

“Babe, no!” she says, shaking her head. “It’ll be a blast, the property is huge and I think my mom is even holding a gala or some shit.” Your mind races at the thought of spending the holidays with Helaena, surrounded by the English countryside and the hospitality of her family. You knew very little about her family, having only heard of her brothers in fleeting comments. You had briefly met her mother over the phone, having been at Helaena’s apartment one night when she face-timed her.

“Okay,” you say, a smile growing on your lips. “I’d love to come.” Helaena’s smile only widens, her arms going around your shoulders in a tight hug.

“I’ll let Mum know!”

The sun streamed through your apartment window as you pull clothes out of your wardrobe, tossing them at Helaena. She sits perched on the edge of your bed, gingerly folding t-shirts and pants into your bag. There were tops strewn across your bed, shoes littered all over the floor and small bags of toiletries and makeup set next to your nearly empty suitcase. You can hear Ariadne chewing on a shoe you gave up trying to get her to stop playing with. At this point, she only really played with household items instead of the actual toys you bought her. Helaena winces as you pull out a dress and hold it up to your chest.

“What about this?” you ask, swaying slightly. Her face stays in a slight grimace, shaking her head and laughing.

“We need to get you some new dresses, these look like they were taken off of a raggedy Anne Doll.” You let out a boisterous laugh, shoving her shoulder and you tuck the dress back into the wardrobe. She pulls a knitted sweater from the edge of your bed and tucks it tightly into your bag.

Once your outfits seem coordinated enough, Helaena begins to place them carefully in your suitcase, making sure you have enough to last you all the days you’re there. She speaks up once you flip your suitcase closed, struggling slightly with the zipper.

“So I know you sorta met Mum but I know you’ll love her now that you’ll be staying for a few weeks.” She states. “She’s been planning this gala for my father, for his retirement, for months. It’s going to be huge, my sister is even coming in from out of town with her children, everyone and their mother is going to be there.”

You let out a chuckle and bounce slightly on your suitcase, climbing over it, trying to press it shut with your knees. Helaena climbs on with you, raving about life at the estate, describing the sprawling gardens, her mother’s immense library of rare books and the little town that lies nearby.

“You know we could even get you a fancy dress from one of the shops in town, it's a tiny town but it has loads of shops.” you struggle but finally manage to zip up the bag, and you sit on top of it a little breathless.

“Oh! Aemond and Daeron are going to be there too, though I’m not too sure about Aegon” she states, a thoughtful look on her face. It almost seems like she wants to say something more but waves her hand in the air dismissively. “But never mind that.”

You can't help but feel a flutter of excitement bloom in your chest at the thought of all that you’ll be doing. “I can’t wait for it all,” you say with a soft sigh, eyes shining with anticipation.

a/n: soo no Aegon quite yet but he’ll be appearing in the next chapter fo sho. I’m currently working on it but it’s hell week at uni right now so I won’t have too much time to sit down. If you guys are enjoying it, do not hesitate to reblog and let me know if you want to be tagged for the next chapter!

everyone give it up for knickolas pterodactyl hob. rue certainly has

[id: Two digital drawings depicting a scene from A Court of Fey and Flowers; Hob, Andhera, Binx, and Rue meet in the abandoned tailor’s shop. In the first image, Andhera and Hob stand side by side, with Andhera touching the back of his neck and smiling at Hob as his stormcloud brews, and Hob standing with his hat tucked under his arm, nervously saying, “The K in K.P. stands for Knickolas.” In the second image, Rue rests their face on their claw and above their head in cursive script, surrounded by hearts and peonies, are the words, “I Love Him.” At their side, Binx looks confused, with question marks gathering around her head. /end id]

more detailed description under the cut

Andhera is a young Unseelie faerie with dark plum-coloured skin, extremely long pointed ears, and ember-red irises on black sclerae. His hair is in messy curls flopping down to the side, and streaked with dark grey. He is wearing his usual gold and black robe, exposing his chest, which is shiny from the drizzle raining down from their cloud. He is wearing a gold circlet on his head and several matching earrings in their extremely long ears. He is smiling gently with his eyebrows raised, looking in Hob’s direction. Their cloud is dark, subtly cracking with pink-purple lightning, and some of the peaks look like the tops of hearts.

Hob is a fluffy brown bugbear with large fangs and tall pointed ears. He is dressed down, wearing a plain navy-blue greatcoat with his cavalry hat tucked under one arm and his other behind his back. His brow is furrowed, and he is looking towards the ceiling, with comical droplets of sweat jumping off his forehead. His eyes are luminous yellow in the dark.

Rue is a gigantic owlbear (bipedal, top half owl and bottom half bear) with a barn owl’s face and dark talons. They have yellow-green-tinted feathers that become dark khaki as they get longer. They have big, shiny black eyes, and pink speckles around them. They are wearing a multicoloured quilted jacket over an ornate red doublet, and a single-shoulder forest green cape with a leather pauldron. The pauldron is engraved with golden peonies, and pink peonies also bloom around their thought of “I Love Him.” They are also wearing a dark pink floppy cap with a peacock’s feather stuck in it.

Binx is a very short moth faerie, with brown moth wings folded at their back. She has dark purple, short-ish messy hair and purple eyes. She is dressed in dark purple and bronze, with detailing like damselfly wings. Her ears are medium-sized and pointed, and she also has fluffy moth feelers. She is covered in pinkish blotches on her cheeks and shoulders, and her skin is otherwise light brown. Their eyebrows are styled in dots, and they are wearing purple lipstick and a paperclip as a hair clip. The question marks around them are purple, and resemble streaks of paint.

The tailor shop is darkened, cast in a blue hue with only vague shapes behind the foursome. Shafts of light come through on Hob’s and Rue’s sides, leaving Andhera and Binx in shadow.

I’m a little bit obsessed with damselfly nymphs which I. Didn’t take any pictures of on Friday but here’s some bugs from this Friday.

Dragonfly nymphs I caught infinitely while hunting for beetle larvae… why are they so cute. Their eyes are so. I love them when you catch them they just skitter into a position and freeze then start trying to hide again

Gerridae which I wanted because my last one is preserved Mid-Bite by a dytiscid larvae so this one’s nice for studying. I’m a big fan of how the local ones look fancy because they’re black and white like they’re in a suit

And then infinite belostomatids I couldn’t avoid catching who bit the shit out of me while I tried to release them

Bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs thered bugs in the water and I love them

[ king ohger oc ]

i think i should make a proper post abt them, so here it is!

(thx a lot to @ponopyonq for reading my rambles about them, i keep doubting myself to post them but i got encouraged by you ;-; ily bro)

------

Selen (Selen Idmonarak ne Brasieri Hastie)

-Son of Gira and Jeramie -his name based from Selenopidae (wall crab spiders), i love how it's eyes described as 'resemble the moon'

-calls jeramie by papa and gira by toto (shorts of otou-san, but as he grow up he called gira by otou-san)

-everyone's friend <3

-spent most of his time at shugoddam, but sometimes he visited bugnarak cave.

-loves reading encyclopedia, esp. about animals and insects

-his bugnarak hand can't shoot spiderweb, but he's agile and good at climbing

-also good at hiding (either his feelings or hiding for hide and seek-)

-jeramie's bedtime story is his favorite, especially story of the ohsama sentai

-his close friends are buun (as his right hand) and diabolica (pao's oc!!!)

brief idea of selen here!

Takane (Takane Dybowski-Hastie)

-Daughter of Racles and Suzume

-her name based from takane-ruri kuwagata (platycerus sue imura)

-Older twin

-truly women of toufu

-nobody knows what's inside her mind (except Mitsuba)

-she has no interest on being king or succesor

-she pursued medical studies at ishabana instead

-calls everyone by '-chan' (selen---ren-chan, mitsuba---micchan, rion--ricchan)

-friends with Rion. Since they shared the same interest on fashion

Mitsuba (Mitsuba Dybowski-Hastie )

-Son of Racles and Suzume

-His name based from Mitsubachi (honeybee)

-Younger twin

-admires his father and sometimes help his job as chikyuu's 'tool'

-mitsuba and takane calls racles by otou-sama and suzume by okaa-sama

-loves to eat, but never gained a lot of weight

-kaguragi's student, maybe soon to be succesor

-really excel at talking and persuade others, esp. after being kagu's student

-Selen is like a little brother to him, not just his cousin

-pretty chill and not as energetic as his twin sister, but he'll show his scary side to those who disrespect his family (including those who badmouthed selen and giramie)

brief ideas of hastie-dybowski twins here!

Rion

-Yanma's pupil -go by they/them

-their name based from coenagrion puella (azure damselfly)

-around the same age as dybowski-hastie twins

-for some reasons, the Nkosopaz raised them since they're 6 yrs old and Yanma took them as his pupil

-their relationship with yanma is kinda like yanma and gin. Sometimes they'd fight, but Rion respect him a lot, actually

-closest to shiokara and usuba

-only use honorifics to shiokara

-actually they don't really care abt their gender, ("what's important is being the coolest ever and aiming to the top!!!!" -rion, perhaps)

-even if with no shugod soul, they create their own shugod for transportation (it's a damselfly, ofc)

-had a crush on mitsuba-

lol they're fun to draw

also last one, their dynamic chart! (?)

#ohsama sentai kingohger #king ohger #king ohger oc #giramie #suzuracles #rakusuzu #whatever #jeramie brasieri #i have bugnarak oc ideas (moth & butterfly perhaps) but it's not fixed yet #my art #akq's tmi #rewrite some of the trivia in case my ugly ass writing can't be read #sorry rion i didn't draw u fully rendered #later maybe #my kids freed from draft prison after months yippeeee

also do you have any ideas of what plimbo even is because i cant think of any sort of insect he could be

NO!!!! HE'S FUCKED UP AND EVIL!!!!!

Like let's look at our options. Bear with me. Plimbo as a concept drives me insane.

WARNING - MULTIPLE CLOSE UP BUG IMAGES BELOW

Wingless bug options:

Termites - Well nothing about him suggests wood eating to me. Also he's green, termites are typically not that

Female ants - We see an ant portrayed in game through Sozo, Plimbo does not look like him

Fleas - I mean hey these have a sort of "mustache!":

Silverfish - I don't think so, though these things do love water

Bristletails - I still do not think so

Some stick bugs - Don't have the body type (also their antennae tend to be far longer)

Some roaches - Same issue with antennae, but I mean...?

True lice - They do make an effort to show him having two claws so he'd have to be a Mallophaga if he's a wingless louse, and I mean... Body shape kinda fits?

Non-insect hexapods (Springtails, Diplurans, Proturans) - I kinda like the idea of him as a springtail, especially because I'm constantly seeing those little shits around water they LOVE lakes n such. Springtails can also be green! Diplurans and Proturans are unlikely since they lack eyes

Bugs with "pupils"

Ok well NONE have pupils like that. And the only one I can think of with even something pupil-adjacent are Mantises and Damselflies.

But then we run into the wing issue again. Especially with Damselflies, those things got wings for days. Which is a shame since Damselflies are also big water enjoyers, and those itty bitty antennae would fit for him.

Aquatic Bugs

There's way too many to go through honestly. Most are larvae, and he doesn't... toootally look like he's supposed to be a larva? Then again I mean...

Dragonfly larva is a possibility. It'd get rid of the wing issue! He doesn't have the mouth for it but then again the cotl devs have like a vendetta against the idea of portraying ANY mouth correctly (side-glancing all birds), let alone bug mouths, so I don't consider that to mean anything.

And you know what? We could really make this work if we want him to be a damselfly larvae, but

he's missing HIS GILLS (the three lil thangs on the back)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So. I don't know!!!! But he is NOT a grasshopper. I refuse the wiki saying that. Never lie to me ever again. They put that there because he's green I bet anything.

Plimbo could be any number of things. Fuck if I know what the devs' intention was. What do I headacanon him as? um. I. Don't know. Maybe a damselfly? Maybe a springtail? I dunno!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is a question that will haunt me forever

#you indulged me to bug talk so here's my bug talk.#Everyone throw their Plimbo species theories at me and drive me insane over it #cult of the lamb #cotl plimbo #ask

SO! Awhile ago I sent an ask about how I shoved your OCs into a Café AU and with the latest few post you've been putting up, the AU has expanded.

Dragonfly is the tired barista inherited the Dragonfly Café and its trade secrets from her now retired abroad father, they talk through facetime. She also goes to college where she dorms with Michelle, Fabi and Taylor. She also over charges or short changes rude customers.

Clay is the café cleaner who fills in as a barista when Dragonfly has classes. Dragonfly let's him live in the flat above the café for free since she's already paid for her dorm room and never leaves the café premise other than to take the trash out.

Hayday is the annoying customer who always seems to order complex drinks at inconvenient times, tries making small talk with Dragonfly when she's clearly busy and never tips, the only reason why he's not banned is because Dragonfly can't really afford to ban anyone. He's several part time jobs and sometimes moonlights as a coffee boy for Ant Queen, the local sleazy motels owner, and eventualy Snake Eyes. He totally didn't develop a crush on Dragonfly after she gave him a free cup of coffee and slice of carrot cake after seeing him nearly collapse at the counter on a slow day. He dropped out of college to take care of his mum when she fell ill, is in both medical and educational debt.

Snake Eyes is a sleazy businessman whose been trying to buy the café out ever since Dragonflys father first built it and is now trying to either buy out the property from Dragonfly fairly or bankrupt it until she's forced to sell. He wants to demolish the building and the surrounding area to build something like a mall or apartment complex.

Nighthawk runs a crêpe stand outside of the café and tries to, unsuccessfully, poach customers. He swore revenge on the Dragonfly Café since he blame it for the cause of his parents diner going out of business.

Damselfly is the part time barista that Dragonfly hired to help Clay while she's in class after finding out that he was struggling. She hardly helps Clay in favour of being on her phone and is actually wealthy influencer online but doesn't tell anyone offline so they give her praise for being a 'struggling student working hard to pay off her loans'. She regularly post pictures of Dragonflys and Clays fancy coffee art designs and claims them as her own and keeps tips she receives instead of putting them in the shared tip jar.

Lovebug is the repeat customer who brings a new girl he catfished to the café atleast twice a month. He eventually develops a crush on Dragonfly because she comped his bill after a particular bad date which he believed meant she was into him, he also gets annoyed that she isn't dating him despite never asking her out and rarely talking to her outside of ordering drinks.

The Ice Cream Man is exactly the same as in canon, eldritch 'Wife' and all, no one knows what his deal is but he comes around on the 13th of every month no matter the weather, there could be a Magnitude 10 earthquake, a Category 9 tornado and a literal biblical downpour going on at the same time and he'll still be happily walking down the street with his 'Wife'. Everyone stays out of his way, once Nighthawk begrudgingly spent a day hiding in the Dragonfly Café just because he forgot what the date was when he set up his crêpe stand.

Drosera is the florist who owns the flower shop on the opposite side of the street to the café. She doesn't eat people since she isn't a plant but she'll do anything to ensure her shop stays afloat and is welling to go to some serious extremes in a calm methodical manner to do so.

Detective Victor is a small time detective whose spends his down time trying to slowly untangle the mystery of why businesses in the area around the Dragonfly Café keeps failing. He regularly comes to the café on his lunch breaks and is a good tipper.

Reporter Louise is a small time reporter for the local news agency who once had a bad experience in the café and took it personally. She takes every opportunity to rag on the small café and the only reason why she doesn't get reprimanded for it is because the her personal vendetta with the café is the most amusing thing her news agency has published in years.

Hope you enjoyed and keep uploading more work, you're giving me some serious brainrot with your OCs and I love it!

op I dont have much to add here but I love this a lot

Take Care Of You | JJK

Pairing: Jungkook x (f)reader

Genre: fluff

AU: established relationship, Love Bug couple

Wordcount: 1,642

Summary: Jungkook comes home late, tipsy and exhausted from a long day at work. You help him get ready for bed.

Warnings: some mentions of relationship fun times. Mentions of drinking. Tooth decaying fluff and domesticity.

Rating: PG15 to be safe.

AN: You can all blame @here2bbtstrash for posting this post for being the reason we’re here. I have a long ass fic for these two coming (their first time 😉) but M puts a prompt out there and I can’t NOT follow through with it. Enjoy! Thank you @mikrokcsmos for beta reading and @classicscreations for the banner and divider.

Series Masterlist | Masterlist | Taglist | AskBox | Coffee?

You hear the front door open, pulling you out of your texting with your best friend, Danny, about your brunch date the next day. You set your phone down and resume your skincare routine. You don’t have to go check who it is, it only takes fifteen seconds before your boyfriend is walking into the bathroom.

His arms quickly wrap their way around your middle, pulling you back against his chest while he tucks his face into the nook of your neck, and takes a deep breath, rubbing his nose against your skin. You rest your arms on his forearms, head resting on his shoulder.

“Welcome home, Koo.” You chirp. He just nuzzles more into your neck, small whines echoing against your skin. And then you smell it.

Whiskey.

You’re going to smack Yoongi next time you see him.

“Koo? You okay?”

“Missed you, bug.” His arms tighten around you and you both have to catch yourselves when he steps back involuntarily.

“You had a few drinks with Yoongi, huh?” You tease, reaching a hand up behind you to run your fingers through his hair.

“All of us. Work kept going and going and going and goi—”

“So you all decided to get drunk?” The teasing tone lingers as you watch him in the mirror play with the hemline of your silk nightshirt between his fingers. Early in the relationship, you noticed his fascination with certain textures, silk being a main one, and altered your wardrobe slightly for him.

You prefer his baggy shirts and sweatpants, but he loves the feel of it, and you love the feel of him touching you. A win-win worthy of compromise.

“‘Not drunk…tipsy.”

“Oh, okay, tipsy man. Wanna take off your makeup and we can go to bed?”

He shakes his head, lips leaving small kisses across your neck as he slowly raises his head.

“You can go to bed first, bug. I need a bit.” He turns you around in his arms, hands sliding across your sides in the process. Your fingers play with the necklace he hides under his shirt with a little damselfly charm you got him for your one year anniversary. It’s really a dragonfly, but it’s close enough to the delicate bug he compared you to.

“Okay. You sure you’re good? Want me to make you something?”

“You can’t cook, bug.” Your eyes narrow at him, lightly hitting his pecs.

“I can make ramen.”

“It’s okay, we ate a lot. Go to bed. I’ll be there soon.” He kisses your forehead before turning away and heading back to the living room.

You hear the sound of the tv turning on and a random song soon after. You finish up your routine and crawl into bed, deciding to mindlessly scroll your socials until he comes back.

Except an hour later and you feel like you’ve seen every video, annoyed your friends with said videos, and got bored of playing the same three games on your phone. And he still hasn’t come to bed yet.

He seemed so exhausted. Whiskey is like melatonin for Jungkook and knowing he drank with Yoongi? He probably had a good amount.

You get out of bed, quietly walking into the living room and sure enough, your boyfriend is fast asleep on the leather couch. Soft snores are the only sound as the tv probably automatically turned off a while ago. He looks so childlike when he sleeps. You smile, heading back to the bathroom for a moment before returning to the couch.

“Koo? Wanna get ready for bed?” You nudge his shoulder lightly, but nothing happens except a moan from the sleeping man.

“Jungkook, you’re going to regret sleeping with makeup on.” Still nothing.

Big guns time.

You brush his hair back, cupping his face and getting your face closer to him, “Koooooooobear.” His sleepy eyes pry open, brows furrowed.

“How dare you,” he grumbles, an adorable pout forming, “that name is for special circumstances only.”

“Yeah. But you weren’t waking up. Come on. Let’s get you ready for bed.”

“Few more minutes.”

“Nope, bed is better. Come on, Koo. You don’t have to do anything except walk to the bathroom and I’ll take care of everything else.”

He mumbles something incoherent, but gets up when you wrap your hand in his, and follows you to the bathroom where he’s greeted by a dimly lit scene, the only light coming from the four mildly scented candles flickering around the room. You make him sit on the edge of the bathtub, briefly kissing his sleepy face, and turn back around to grab the pink bunny headband. He smirks, grabbing it from you and putting it on, brushing his bangs back with it.

“Adorable.” You giggle, adjusting the ears on the headband to make your boyfriend look more like a bunny. His hands rest on your hips, mindlessly playing with the fabric again while he tugs you to stand between his legs, and you have to force yourself to stay focused.

You grab the makeup wipes and tilt his chin up with your thumb and index finger, holding him in place while you gently wipe the makeup off his face. All the foundation, the small amount of eyeshadow and mascara. You love when he has to wear makeup, but you love bare faced Jungkook so much more. Being able to see those freckles that get covered by concealer and the small imperfections that make him more real to you.

When you’re sure you’ve wiped it all off, you grab a wet washcloth, gently gliding it across his face to make sure you get anything left behind. He gets up to wash his face with a cleanser and promptly sits back down to let you do the rest, hands right back to where they were when you pull out his series of serums, toners, an eye cream and a moisturizer.

One by one, you take each step seriously, patting the product where it should be, gently rubbing it into the skin when you’re supposed to, and putting each product away directly after use so you don’t get lost on the order. Jungkook’s routine is way more serious than yours. And for good reason; it’s his job to look amazing. Yours couldn’t care less, and you’re too lazy to do this many steps every night. You let him tell you random stories about his schedules today and the insanity and fun that occurred just so he can stay awake long enough and not fall asleep and hurt himself while sitting on the edge of the tub.

When you’re getting ready to apply the eye cream, you put a small amount on your finger, quickly put the cream away and turn back to your boyfriend, who is barely holding it together trying to stay awake.

“Almost done, Koo. Just this and the moisturizer and then bed.”

“I miss bed.” He pouts as you gently dab the cream under his eyes, bringing the excess out over his cheekbones.

“I know, baby.”

“Miss you.” his hands slide down to your thighs, slipping under the silk shorts to grab the meat of your thighs under your ass.

“So, you’re too tired to get ready for bed. But not too tired to get handsy with me?”

You both love and loathe the smug smirk on his face.

“Always ready to be handsy. Love to feel you at every moment of every day.”

You roll your eyes and hum in response, applying the moisturizer and trying to ignore his wandering hands under your shorts.

“Okay, Koo. All done.” You murmur, removing the headband and messing with his hair to make it look normal again. You quickly make sure everything is put away, blowing out the candles and washing your hands. All the while, Jungkook has reattached himself to you reminiscent of when he came home, arms around your middle, face buried in your neck, while you’re moving around the bathroom. When you’re in complete darkness of the bathroom, he turns you around again, this time picking you up easily, your legs around his waist, arms around his shoulders, and lips meeting his as he carries you back to the bed, laying you down first and crawling over you. His lips leave yours, trailing down your neck to your clavicle.

“Koo…” you whine, feeling yourself get more and more turned on. But you know he’s going to pass out any second. “We have to go to bed. You’re exhausted, baby.”

He’s about to complain - make an argument about wanting to thank you for taking care of him, but your hands cradle his face, bringing him back up to you.

“In the morning, I promise.” You whisper, grinning when he looks confused.

“Promise what?”

“Whatever you want me to promise. We can do it in the morning. For now, we sleep. Okay?”

“Whatever I want?” Usually, this is where his eyes would go wide with excitement, but he’s clearly too tired as it’s just his smug grin returning instead.

“Whatever you want, however you want.” You go in for a small peck of a kiss, but Jungkook pushes forward, trapping you between his lips and the pillow, for a deep kiss.

“I love who you’ve become, love bug.” He kisses you again, smiling, “I love who you were, too. I love everything about you.”

“I love you, too, Koo.” You lightly shove him off you, both of you getting into your sleeping positions, “almost as much as I love sleeping.” You smirk when he scoffs, pulling you against his chest as you two get comfortable.

“Brat.”

“Yours.”

His grip tightens.

“Mine.” He grumbles, and you swear you can hear the moment he submits to the sleep he’s been fighting off, the small soft snores returning, lulling you to sleep.

You’ll have to apologize to Danny for missing brunch tomorrow.

woe! first art post since a month ago be upon ye! take my gay bugs

[Start ID of the first image. A digital drawing of the five bugs forming Team Taranoake, drawn without anthropomorphized biology, short clips of text describing each one's name, pronouns, species, and size. The background is a solid-color pale orange, with the rest of the drawing being similarly flat-colored and golden-toned. The first shows Kritto, an azure damselfly, who stands on two legs with short stilts to counter the length of xer abdomen. She's light teal with black stripes, holding a brown scroll in one claw, the other pair of arms tucked between her two backpacks behind xer. Next is Lidii, a worker of the ant species Myrmecocystus mexicanus, yellow and orange. She's rambling about something excitedly, just barely propping up the thick wooden weapon beside her. Third is Rantan, an ox beetle, brown with yellow fur. He subjects himself to whatever Lidii's talking about, sitting with all six limbs on the ground and a mildly tired expression, resting their head on one claw. Gorge, a light purple coquina clam, is settled beneath two of Rantan's legs, his shell decorated with small notes and scribbles from work as an archivist. Last is the sea slug Ceras, a single-stalk aeolis, pink with bright stripes of yellow and white along their cerata. She's drawn further away from the rest, his head turned back towards the other four bugs. Like Kritto, they're marked as an honorary member of the team, lacking the seaglass bracelets shared by the three close-knit bugs from the center of the drawing. End ID.]

^ once again, these guys are from a universe I made with @froggoexists :]

[Start ID of the second image. A colored sketch of two humanized original characters, Ceras, a sea slug from the previous image, and Thorn, a Hollow Knight vessel. They're both drawn from the waist up, facing forward, close enough that Ceras's hand wraps around Thorn's shoulder. Ceras is shown as a young Black person, their cerata incorporated as long locs dyed pink, white and yellow, and piercings stud their ears and tongue. Thorn is paler-skinned, taller and thinner than Ceras, with pointed ears, and white hair styled at the top into two rows of spikes. Ceras is wearing a studded denim vest, thoroughly decorated with eclectic pins and patches, mostly of bands, bugs, games, and simple declarations of hope. Thorn wears instead a black leather jacket, with long studs at the shoulders and smaller ones along the sides and center. One sleeve is torn off, as they don't have a right arm, and the other is cuffed to display the adaptive device making up half their left. Ceras is sticking their tongue out and smiling, one eye shut and the other turned to Thorn, stimming with their free hand. Thorn's looking back at them with a smile.

The background is simple, a pink horizontal wave. There's a bright, pale halo behind Ceras' head, one which resembles a spoked wheel or a sun, seeming to cast light upon the two of them. A line at the bottom of the image reads "part-god mute disabled they/she/he bug punk BESTIES", and at the top of the image there's a small doodle of their original forms sitting together contentedly. End ID]

#having a bit of trouble being articulate lately hence the Wall Of Text IDs. hope they're still good 👍#anyway i tried to post these like three weeks ago and most of the text on here is from then but i am Nervous. strange aversion to Existing #think it started from a fear no one enjoys oc art and eventually it backed up to the point i didn't post non-oc art either??#i do miss doing that though and besides i know like >2 people like my stuff regardless. so here's to the first step in Not Being So Scared #peridots-art #bugs #mostly mollusk #kritto mm #lidii mm #rantan mm #gorge mm #ceras mm #thorn hk #hk ocs #peridots-ocs #< for a long time i had oc tags on their own so as not to be confused with fandom character tags but actually it's. less efficient. so #oho it is going to be Annoying changing everything though. anyway if I don't post this now it'll be stuck in Drafts Hell forever so 👍👍👍#hollow knight
