Not to give you so much homework but all of them for Ty and all of them for Mina. Please 💙

Putting this under a cut because it got long : /

Ps- you only got so much because I’ve been dealing with my-body-hates-me disease all day and this has distracted me next time I can’t guarantee I’ll do so many at once!

alone: How does your OC deal with loneliness? Have they ever been completely alone before? How do they act when there's no one around to see them?

Ty- he’s used to being alone, it doesn’t bother him, but he does love hanging out with his siblings.

betrayal: Has your OC ever been betrayed by someone they thought they could trust? Has your OC ever betrayed someone who trusted them?

Ty- no

Mina- no, but that’s not to say she wouldn’t.

bound: Has your OC ever been imprisoned or captured? What happened? How did they get out? Did the experience leave any scars?

Ty- no

Mina- no

break: What would cause your OC to break down completely? What do they look like when that happens? Has anyone ever seen them at their lowest?

Ty- I think… he’s lost both his parents, and he hasn’t really processed pepper’s death yet so he could be very close to hitting rock bottom, and I think if he did he’d probably shut down.

Mina- Bea’s the only one alive who’s seen her at her lowest, and if she lost Bea, idek what she’d do. I, Crystal, would kill Kage though.

desire: What's one thing your OC wants more than anything in the world? Are they open with that desire? Why or why not? What would they do to fulfill it?

Ty- to be comfortable in his own skin and know who he is.

Mina- revenge.

failure: What's your OC's greatest failure? Have they been able to move past it? Does anyone else know about it?

Mina- in her eyes, not being fast enough. No

fear: What is your OC's greatest fear? What do they do when confronted with it? Are they open with their fear, or do they hide it away?

Ty- being abandoned, though he doesn’t realize that’s what it is.

Mina- heights. (lie)

future: What's the worst possible future for your OC? Are they taking steps to avoid that outcome? Are they even aware it's a possibility?

Mina- watching Bea be murdered in front of her again. Yes and yes.

ghost: Who or what haunts your OC? What happened? How do they live with their ghosts?

Ty- right now, the fact that his mom died in a completely unexpected way, with strangers

Mina- ask me again when you’ve gotten her tragic backstory and I will send you the fic I wrote.

guilt: What is your OC guilty about? How do they handle their guilt? Do they try to avoid guilt, or do they accept it?

Ty- he feels guilty for not being there for pepper to protect her when she died. So he’s going to protect the others to compensate

Mina- she doesn’t handle her guilt well.

hate: What does your OC hate? Why? How do they act towards the object of their hatred?

Ty- has never hated anyone or anything his entire life

Mina- she hates the ones who’ve hurt her and she’s ready to do whatever it takes to get her revenge.

heartbreak: Have they ever had a relationship that ended badly? Experienced some other kind of heartbreak? What happened?

Ty- literally had not thought about it until right this second, but now that I have: he had a relationship that ended because they were incompatible. It wasn’t messy or mean, just not meant to be, and he’s still a little tender about it.

Mina- no, she doesn’t let anyone get that close.

hide: What does your OC hide? Why do they hide it?

Ty- has nothing to hide

hunt: Who or what is your OC hunted by? A person, a feeling, a past mistake? Is your OC able to let their guard down, or are they constantly alert?

Ty- nothing

mask: Does your OC wear a mask, literally or figuratively? What goes on beneath it? Is there anyone in their life who gets to see who they are under the mask?

Ty- no, he’s a pretty honest guy. Except for when he lied about not being a vegetarian. He wants people to like him.

midnight: What keeps your OC up at night? Do they have nightmares? Fears? Anxieties? What do they do in the small hours of the morning when they should be sleeping?

Ty- right now his anxieties might give him a restless night; if he’s up instead of sleeping he’d make up stories and tell them to Little Guy. That’s the kind of thing he’d do with his siblings when they were younger

Mina- what ifs keep her up. What if she’d done something differently? What if x happens to Bea? Etc. If she’s up in the middle of the night she’s pacing or she’s practicing with her mother’s weapon.

mistake: What's the worst mistake your OC ever made? What led to them making it? Have they been able to fix it? How have they moved on?

Ty- ever trusting any of his siblings with his secrets, they are all blabbermouths.

monster: Is your OC monstrous in any way? Is there something that makes them monstrous? Are they aware of their own monstrosity? Do they accept it or reject it?

Mina- doesn’t think of herself as monstrous, she sees herself as justified, but for sure some of the things she’s done and will/would do could be seen as monstrous.

nightmare: What does your OC have nightmares about? How do they deal with their nightmares? Do they tell people, or keep it to themself?

Ty- his dad dying in front of him; he does not tell anyone about them. And now he’s got a nightmare where he’s searching for his mom but he can’t find her

Mina- watching Bea bleed out in front of her and Mina’s stuck in place and can’t help her and there’s the scent of blood and burning flesh and her eyes burn but she can’t look away from Bea but she can’t move and there’s the sound of a bolt cutting through the air and that’s when she wakes up in a cold sweat and sometimes she can still smell it and she throws up over the side of the bed.

pain: What's the worst pain your OC has ever felt? Do they have a high pain tolerance?

Ty- he’s a big guy who grew up with a small family, he has bumped into and accidentally stepped on and broke so many things… he’s never been seriously injured though.

Mina- has a high pain tolerance. Worst pain was when she got shot a couple of times.

secret: What's one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them?

Mina- that deep down she really hates her goddess.

skin: How comfortable is your OC in their skin? Do they grapple with anything that lives inside them—a beast, a curse, a failure, a monster? How do they face the smallest, weakest, most horrible version of themself? Are they able to acknowledge it at all?

Ty- not very? It was weird for him to grow up so big in a family of people who are so small. He feels very out of place and it makes him really sad.

torture: Has your OC ever been tortured? Would your OC ever torture someone else?

Ty- no

Mina- yes

wound: How does your OC handle being wounded? Are their wounds mostly physical? Mental? Emotional? What's the worst wound your OC has ever experienced?

Ty- he handles it okay, but most of his wounds right now are emotional.

Mina- sucks it up, does what she can, and keeps on trucking forward. Worst pain was losing her mom.

#Mina #Ty #crystal plays dnd

BnHA Chapter 313: Deku VS Lady Nagant

Previously on BnHA: Hawks’s super-hot badass murder senpai Lady Nagant showed up to fire a cupid’s arrow into my heart, and a bunch of literal bullets into my son. Deku was all “oh shit it’s Hawks’s super-hot badass murder senpai, what do I do, let me think back to Hawks’s advice for a sec.” Flashback!Hawks was all “anyway Deku so if my super-hot badass murder senpai ever shows up you’re basically screwed so you’d better abscond the fuck out of there.” Present!Deku was all “lol idek why I flashed back to that conversation since I’m just going to do the exact opposite of what Hawks said” and charged directly toward Nagant because WHY NOT. Overhaul was all “waah I need to get back to my boss who I put in a coma out of love” and Nagant was all “jesus christ why did I even bring you here” and had a flashback to AFO who was all “ILU NAGANT IMMA GIVE YOU AN EXTRA QUIRK SO PLEASE CAPTURE DEKU FOR ME PLEASE AND THANKS” and yeah. Shit is all over the place right now and I love it.

Today on BnHA: All Might gets attacked by a pair of discount assassins and is all “Call an ambulance! ...BUT NOT FOR ME” and it’s really badass but also I really wish he would stop tempting fate like this. Lady Nagant is all “[casually flies around town shooting shit]” and I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t read an entire chapter of just that. Deku is all, “[gets shot (≥_<)]” and releases a giant Smokescreen which prompts En to show up. En is all, “( •᷄⌓•᷅ ) (⌣̀ Δ⌣́) ( •̀_•́ )σ (¬､¬) (눈_눈)” which I consider to be a high point of both the chapter and of my life. The chapter ends with Deku using the Third’s quirk to launch a bunch of random objects at Nagant so that he can jump up and grab her arm all sneaky-like, and I’m sure this is going to prompt another week’s worth of discourse that I don’t care about at all, but fuck it, I’m having a good time.

OH WE’RE CUTTING BACK TO ALL MIGHT WELL THAT’S NICE I GUESS. CONGRATS ON NOT BEING DEAD

you named your car??

you named it Hercules??

I love you so much??

please marry me you giant fucking dork???

lmao speaking of huge fucking dorks

who the fuck are you clowns. la dee da we’re gonna murder All Might with our synchronized spear attack!! I mean... they’re clearly trying their best... maybe I should just be nice and politely hype them up like All Might is so clearly trying to do

like okay, but we all agree that this is actually the least intimidating attack any of us has ever seen, right?? these guys zipped up their hoodies all serious-like and are trying to attack All Might and Hercules with their Walmart tiki torches, but just, no?? right?? like the only way this could possibly be effective is if they were trying to kill All Might with secondhand embarrassment

“those are assassins” this is a VERY generous assessment, All Might

OH MY GOD THE TIKI TORCHES ACTUALLY KILLED THE FUCK OUT OF HERCULES

[slaps roof of car] this baby can fit so many weaponized festive backyard lighting solutions in it

and yet, even after watching this with my own two eyes, I still can’t take these dudes seriously. idek what it is. anyways r.i.p. Hercules, I loved you a lot but I guess you weren’t actually a very good armored car were you

omg they didn’t know it was All Might??

okay 1) for a moment there I was like “oh hey maybe they’re not so bad after all” but then a moment later it was like “ah nope, they are.” like, that was an interesting .06 second emotional journey there. anyways 2) All Might you have my permission to kick their asses for this disrespect, and 3) anyone else all of a sudden getting “wouldn’t this be an interesting time for Stain to suddenly show up” vibes?? no?? just me???

(ETA: hmm tbh I’ve still got those vibes and they haven’t gone away lol. Stain?? you out there buddy?? do you want to be cool for just once in your life. ball’s in your court pal.)

OH SNAP ALL MIGHT ARE YOU REALLY GONNA DO IT ARE YOU GONNA KICK THEIR ASSES

PROTECTIVE DAD MODE ACTIVATED?? BECAUSE YOU KNOW I’M HERE FOR THAT SHIT, SO YEAH, FEEL FREE

omg he’s shouting at them about how much Deku has suffered lmao and they’re just like falling over from being scolded

so they have absolutely no idea what he’s talking about though, right? “SIR THIS IS A WENDY’S” well whatever, you killed his pet car so he’s in a bad mood now

OH MY GOD

LIKE, JUST SO WE’RE ALL CLEAR, THESE FOUR PAGES SO FAR HAVE MADE ALMOST ZERO SENSE. LIKE MAYBE 2% SENSE TOPS. BUT ASK ME IF I CARE. GO AHEAD AND ASK. I SAID GO AHEAD, IT’S OKAY. ...NO I DON’T CARE AT ALL THANK YOU FOR ASKING

(ETA: also, the more I look at this panel, the more I’m just like, why the hell would you phrase it like that though, sob. way to doubly tempt fate?? are you trying to give Horikoshi a challenge??)

and now back to Deku who is randomly bouncing around the city and narrating it to himself just in case he was confused about why he was doing this

who are you talking to Deku. but thanks we appreciate it

man you gotta love that overconfidence. the smartest guy in the world warned you away from this lady, so SURE, LET’S RUN RIGHT UP TO HER. “I APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT, FLASHBACK!HAWKS, BUT I’LL TAKE IT FROM HERE” well okay then!!

I think it would be funny if RHA.com put little Buzzfeed-style polls in between the chapter pages so they could survey people at random intervals as they read their way through the chapter. like, you finish this page and then there’s a little poll there asking “do you think Deku’s plan of catching up to Lady Nagant and finding out where Shigaraki is will work?”, and you click “no” just like everyone else and then nod as the results show that 97% of your fellow readers also picked “no”, and you chuckle to yourself wondering how many of the 3% accidentally clicked on the wrong option by mistake, and then you keep on reading

ANYWAY, SO

HOW’S THAT PLAN WORKING OUT FOR YOU SO FAR DEKU. nice kick, though!!

omggggggg

ouch

update: Deku’s plan not really working out. sources tell me my boy has been fucking shot. this is an ongoing story and we will keep you posted with the latest developments as they come in

wait what

feel free to explain to the rest of us what all of this “UNLESS...” and “THAT POSSIBILITY...” shit means anytime, Deku

oh lol did he realize she could fly??

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE, CNN’s John King reports that Deku is still fucked. eyewitness reports now coming in that Nagant is doing no-look shots and basically not even giving a fuck. sources described her mannerisms and expression as “sexy, but in like an effortless sort of way.” we will continue to bring you the latest

so now there’s basically an entire page of Deku being all “ah fuck so she’s basically closing in and she could already hit me with impossible accuracy even from Far Away, so if that’s the case then her being Up Close is probably going to be even worse!” making good use of that Big Hero Brain there, Deku

so now what, you’re doing some kind of spiraling kick thing?? how is that going to help

oh lol he’s using Smokescreen to create some cover. aww, good for you Deku you named one of your Smokescreen attacks

OH NO LADY DON’T TELL ME AFO DIDN’T EVEN FILL YOU IN ON THE BASICS

seriously, AFO?? you basically told her what Deku’s exact strategy was going to be but then couldn’t be assed to drop that little, small, barely notable piece of knowledge that Deku is rocking multiple quirks?? is it supposed to be a secret or something?? you dropped the ball here man

damn this is getting intense now

(ETA: the way En is poking Deku’s head in that first panel is fucking sending me, I love this guy so much omg.)

well then what are you planning, Deku?? I’m actually really curious!! I am genuinely starting to be invested in this fight scene not only in the “wanting to see who wins and how that impacts the plot” sense, but also in the “wanting to see how it happens because the choreography and strategy is actually pretty cool” sense, which honestly hasn’t happened for quite a while now! this is fun

anyway so what’s up Deku, are you going to use another quirk?? I’ve been speculating that he hasn’t actually unlocked the last two yet (since Two and Three didn’t exactly seem convinced when we last saw them), but maybe I’m about to be proven wrong

(ETA: well he clearly has Three’s obviously, but Two’s is still MIA, and that’s the one I am of course the most curious about. that’s the one we’re all curious about, let’s be real.)

OH SNAP???

AHHHH I’M HYPED LOL. ANOTHER SHINY NEW QUIRK LOL SHOULD I PUT UP THE USUAL DISCOURSE DISCLAIMER

(ETA: so yeah, after thinking on it, I’m not gonna say “please no Deku discourse on my blog” this week, but I probably will ignore any discourse that does come my way though, just because I don’t have much interest in getting involved in what would probably be a pretty repetitive discussion. like, I can just sum up my opinions (which is what they are) here instead. in fact here they are lol:

1) I like the SIXQUIRKS and I like seeing Deku be a badass.

2) I also don’t think Deku is too OP. more like he’s exactly as OP as he needs to be at the moment, given that we’re approaching the end of the series. I expect the other kids will also be pretty damn OP when we see them fight again. we’re just at that point now where they’re all badasses (as well they should be; they’ve grown a lot and they deserve it). it’s just that Deku’s the one we’re getting to see right now.

3) of course I miss Kacchan and the others, but for me this vibes much closer to the MVA arc where even though I missed them, I was still having a blast (as opposed to the dark days of the Basement arc where I was pretty much losing it lol). like, even though Kacchan’s my favorite, I still love Deku a lot and this arc has been amazing for him getting to shine on his own (for like the first time, really).

4) y’all know I love the OFA plot and I’ve never been shy about that lol. I like all of the Vestiges a lot. Banjou and his over the top personality; En and his “guy you thought would be serious and :| all the time but is actually hyper-animated and ALL OVER THE PLACE” energy; Shiro who actually is a :| sort of guy lol; Three who I still expect will be fleshed out in a more detailed flashback at some point; and of course Two, who, well. you know what I think about him lol. Bakuverse is still on the table and I’m still hyped. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we still have yet to see Two actually talk to Deku (as opposed to talking to the other Vestiges while Deku is distracted). did he lend him his power yet?? or is he still holding out?? either way it’s definitely going to be a Big Thing when it finally happens and I can’t wait to see it.

5) Lady Nagant is Everything and just because Deku grabbed her arm doesn’t mean the fight is over yet lol. Overhaul hasn’t come into play yet either. not to mention that even if the fight is over, the “where do we go from here” part still has me excited either way. her connection to Hawks and the HPSC is very intriguing and we’ve barely touched on that as of yet; she definitely has more of a role to play in this.

6) last but not least, I feel like every week the discussion is all about how much focus Deku’s getting, and how OP he is or isn’t, and OFA this and OFA that, but meanwhile I’m actually so invested in the character development here though?? the way Deku has distanced himself from everyone (except for the Vestiges, because of course they’re already dead so it’s not like they can die again lol)?? the way he’s pushing himself far too hard and we can see the shadows in and under his eyes, and the fact that he never smiles, and even All Might has remarked on how he isn’t taking care of himself at all?? the fact that he’s so single-mindedly obsessed with focused on stopping AFO?? the fact that he’s still the same sweet old Deku despite everything and was so kind to that fox lady with the umbrella, but there was also something so sad about that scene because it felt like a reminder of the type of hero that he wants to be, but that he’s not allowed to be right now?? because the stakes are too high and the world is falling apart?? and he feels like he’s the only one who can do something about it?? and that he has to be?? and that he is putting so much pressure on himself right now, and it’s absolutely too much pressure for any one person to bear, and I feel like no one is fucking talking about this lol goddammit.

anyway so yeah. I have feels about this, and every week that slow-burn angst is getting more and more intense behind the scenes, and I feel like it’s all going to hit a breaking point eventually. sooner rather than later. it really feels like a mirror of Katsuki’s post-Kamino arc. where all that angst was just churning below the surface for like twenty chapters and then it finally was like “okay it’s time” and it all came bursting out and we got the best five chapters of the fucking series (in my admittedly biased estimation lol).

basically, I know that most of fandom is billing this as either the “villain hunt” arc or the “solo Deku SIXQUIRKS fighting arc” or whatever. but for me, it’s always been and still is the Deku Angst arc lol. the cool fights are a sexy bonus (the worldbuilding less so because even though it’s interesting to see society at such a low point, it’s also very depressing and gets old pretty fast), but for me the thing that’s really keeping me engaged chapter after chapter is seeing Deku like we’ve never seen him before. seeing him all quiet and withdrawn and brooding and focused on AFO, AFO, AFO, and seeing that “he just doesn’t take himself into account” mentality taken to extremes. I am invested in that. I’m soaking up that angst each and every week, and I’m invested in seeing what comes of it. it’s a big picture thing. week to week this arc might just seem like a bunch of villain fight scenes, sure. but Deku’s emotional journey is the thread that’s going to carry this arc through from beginning to end, and for that I’m willing to be patient.

anyway that turned into a BIG OL’ RANT there but yeah! so those are my thoughts on the disk horse as it currently stands. and like I said, I’m open to discussion, but tbh I will probably just wind up repeating these same talking points endlessly so just a fair warning lol.)

anyway so Three says Deku has yet to use his quirk at ALL but now he’s trying to combine it with another quirk?? damn. also please check out En’s face here you guys

En launching a sneak attack up my favorite character list by the sheer power of his expressions alone. he really knows how to make the most of his screentime

OH DAMN DEKU

at this point the 3% from that hypothetical poll earlier are starting to feel prettttty damn smug, I’ll bet. well shit

what in the fuck

?? so like releasing his chi or whatnot?? isn’t that basically just like base OFA all over again?? also Deku did you seriously just apologize to Gran’s cape

update: Nagant has turned her eyeball into a gun

hm. hmmmmmmm. ...okay yep, still somehow sexy

anyway so she’s just floating up there building suspense, as one does. lord I sure hope she has good reflexes because something tells me she’s going to need them

OH SNAP HE THREW GRAN’S CAPE AS A DECOY WHAAAAT OKAY THAT’S SOME SMART SHIT DEKU

LOL SHE’S MAD NOW

JESUS CHRIST SHE JUST NEVER TAKES A GODDAMN BREAK FROM BEING AWESOME HUH

DEKU ARE YOU JUST THROWING EVERY DAMN THING IN YOUR INVENTORY

but without the cape and the hood how will you continue to look like an enigmatic badass. you really can’t. which means we might finally be moving on from the wandering nomad part of this arc, stay tuned

LOL YOU MANIAC

I hope he went full Kacchan with the dialogue there. his face sure looks like it lol. popped out of a building all mad fdskljlkj omg

well this was fun, shit. I still have basically no idea what Three’s quirk does though lol. like, can he use it to charge up objects with kinetic energy or something?? but then what was all of that talk about combining it with one of the other quirks?? or was that just because he was using Smokescreen at the same time??

(ETA: having seen and read an additional half-dozen explanations of Three’s quirk, I can say with confidence that I still have basically no idea what it is or does.)

anyway so!! Deku is a badasssssss but something tells me not to count Nagant out just yet even so. also I really enjoy seeing Deku flip out on people like he doesn’t have a fucking hole in his torso because it reminds me of A CERTAIN SOMEONE and I always love to see him channeling that feral energy; I feel like it’s been a while

anyways good luck to you both!! I truly wish that both of you could win. but if not, then maybe you can at least become friends instead. you have so much in common, you both can fly and have multiple quirks and you’re both badasses, and plus it would just be really funny to see the look on Hawks’s face lmao

Today Is Not My Day

Pairing: Lin x Reader

Request: Combination of three requests

“alright, thanks! could i request a LMM angsty but ending kinda fluffy one where mc is his ex and they haven't spoken in a while. they get stuck somewhere together and end up talking things out and he asks her out at the end? idek if that makes sense but yea” - @notebookgirl30

“Can I get LMM and reader stuck in an elevator?” - @ousi-chan

“could you do one with Lin with just a bunch of angst and fluff? i wanta cry” - @rileygene11

Word Count: 1.2k

“Excuse me...I’m sorry...excuse me” I said, as I rushed through the lobby of the office building. I was running late for a very important presentation for work. My car had broken down on the way to work, which had caused me to be very late. I had been working on this presentation for weeks and I couldn’t afford to miss this meeting.

I was running through the lobby, which seemed to be ten times busier than usual. I ran up to the elevator and it was starting to close. “Wait, hold the elevator” I called out. I saw a hand from inside the elevator reach out and stop the doors.

I quickly squeezed through the doors and sighed once I made it in. Then I looked up to see who had stopped the door and I saw Lin. Lin and I had broken up about a year ago and we hadn’t seen each other since.

“Y/N” he said, breathlessly. “Lin...hi” I said, just as shocked. Lin and I’s breakup had not been easy to say the least. We had been drifting apart because of our busy schedules. I asked him if we could have monthly dinner dates. He had told me that that was too large of a commitment to make. Then I told him we couldn’t be together if he couldn’t make a simple commitment to me. He hadn’t reached out to me and never tried to apologize or make amends.

“So how have you been?” Lin asked, trying to fill the awkward silence with some form of polite conversation. “Listen, you don’t have to pretend like you care. It’s been a year and you never reached out to me, you clearly don’t care how I’m doing” I argued. I wasn’t just going to act like everything was fine.

“I always cared Y/N” Lin said, trying to grab my hand. I pulled my hand away from him and took a step backwards. “We can sit here in silence and when the elevator opens, we will go our separate ways and you can go back to not having to feel burdened by caring about me” I told him.

“Y/N, that’s not fair. Please let me explain” he begged. I didn’t say anything and I wouldn’t even look him in the eye. I crossed my arms and stared blankly at the wall.

The elevator ride felt like it was taking longer than it should of. Maybe it was just in my head because I wanted to get out of this elevator as soon as possible. Then the elevator stopped completely. I figured someone on a different floor had pressed the button, but the doors didn’t open. The elevator just stayed stuck.

I cursed under my breath. “Of course you’re the person that I get stuck in an elevator with. Today is not my day” I groaned, under my breath. “I could think of worse people to be stuck with” Lin said, giving me a hopeful glance.

“I’m still not talking to you” I said, blatantly. I pulled out my notecards for my presentation and started going over them. If I was going to be stuck in an elevator, the least I could do is use the time wisely.

I began pacing in a circle as I read through my note cards. I saw Lin smirk at me and then he sat on the floor.

About ten minutes had gone by and the elevator still wasn’t moving. I was starting to freak out. What if no one ever found us?

I put my notecards back in my pocket and huffed. I took off my blazer jacket and sat down on the floor. “Do you think they know we’re stuck here?” I asked, trying to not sound too worried.

“Of course, they're doing everything they can to get us unstuck. I promise, it’ll be fine” he said, calmly. I hated that after everything we had been through, he still knew all my quirks and knew exactly how to reassure me.

I breathed a sigh of relief and leaned my head against the elevator wall behind me. “I just want you to know that I am really sorry about how things ended” Lin said, hesitantly like he was unsure of how I would react.

“Lin, I don’t want to talk to you about it. Nothing that I have to say to you is nice, so I’m going to keep my mouth shut.” I said, stubbornly. “Well fine, I’ll talk. I just need you to listen” he said.

“I know that how I treated you was wrong. But I’ve learned and I’ve missed you. I just hope that eventually you can forgive me” Lin said. “You can’t just say you’re sorry and expect me to forgive you. You basically told me that I wasn’t worth your time and you had more important things to worry about. How am I supposed to believe that you’ve actually changed and you’re actually sorry?” I asked him.

“Because I’m giving you my word” Lin said. “When we started dating, you gave me your word that you would always make time for me. So we can see how much your word means” I argued.

“Listen, Y/N. I understand that you’re angry, you have every right to be. What I did to you was cruel and it went against every promise I ever made you. I promised to love you and I failed. I promised to respect you and I failed. But it’s been over a year. I’ve realized how wrong it was. I want to make amends. It’s not like we broke up and I never thought about you again. I still get excited every time I hear your name. And I miss you so much when I hear our song on the radio. I still daydream about spending the rest of my life with you” He said, and I could tell everything he said was genuine.

I didn’t know what to say. He had just poured his heart out to me, what was I supposed to say. “Is that all true?” I asked, still in disbelief. “Every single word” he said, carefully placing his hand on top of mine. I interlaced our fingers and I saw him smile.

“Look at that, this feels so natural. Just like old times” I said, under my breath. “Can I please have a second chance? I promise, I’ll prove to you how much I’ve changed” Lin said. “I guess everyone deserves a second chance” I said, smiling.

I saw the smile on Lin’s grow ten times bigger. Just then, the elevator started to move again.

Both of our eyes lit up. “Wasn’t that perfect timing?” Lin joked. “Yeah I guess so” I said as Lin stood up. He held out his hand and helped me stand up. “So how about after your presentation, I take you out to lunch and we catch up?” Lin asked me. “I would really like that” I said, smiling at him.

Then the doors opened and we saw two firefighters and mechanic. “Thank you guys” Lin said, thanking them. We walked away from the elevator and stopped to face each other. “Go do your presentation! You are going to kill it, good luck!” Lin said, kissing my cheek.

[itsclydebitches]

No one acknowledges that Ironwood was ok with Penny helping Mantle out. His personal 1 of a kind super soldier. "Ironwood ignored Mantle" No. He had soldiers. He had Penny. All defending Mantle. He was putting resources into uniting the world and prepare everyone for Salem. Guys a fucking badass who made those hard decisions that most people will never have to deal with.

No one has acknowledged anything Ironwood has done, characters or fandom. Like I fully understand that he’s meant to look bad. Everything has very horrific implications at the surface level: omg Ironwood set up the embargo, closed the border, has military in the streets, is taking resources from his people, etc. It’s all very much textbook dictator who has Gone Too Far. Problem is, that setup only works when a) the person in question doesn’t have arguably very valid reasons for taking things to that extreme and b) the audience doesn’t know those reasons and therefore can’t start sympathizing and/or agreeing with them, turning a more straight-forward villain into a morally gray one or even, as I’d argue with Ironwood, a tragic hero. Though even using that definition runs into complications because Ironwood doesn’t have that primary flaw like hubris, leading to his own downfall. Rather, the writing keeps showing us that, a lot like Ozpin, he’s just presented with really shitty choices and forced to make a decision. His conflict is external. Ironwood’s pride hasn’t gotten him into this mess, having an immortal, thousand year old, has endless time to plan, really good at her job villain has. 

Something like pride---or given RWBY’s fairy tale origins heartlessness---could have been that kind of flaw... if (again, again, again) we were actually shown that on screen. If Ironwood was actually setting up security measures because he wanted complete control over Mantle, rather than because he watched Beacon fall from the inside out and is desperately trying to keep that from happening to his people, to say nothing of learning that another headmaster has just betrayed them in the worst way possible. If he hadn’t given Mantle Penny, demonstrating both that he’s trying to provide better, less intimidating forms of protection as well as the fact that he’s learned some of what Ozpin wanted to teach him: give the people a guardian. If we didn’t get a whole volume of our heroes insisting that Amity has to be finished, knowing Ironwood intended to use that to save the  world, irrevocably justifying taking those resources. If we didn’t watch him stick up for the group during their arrest, exclaim that he’s so happy they’re here, trust them with his plan, with the relic, hug Qrow, give them licenses and an attempt at a party, let them talk or even scream at him in their frustration, take their advice about telling the council, potentially ruin his arm in an effort to continue protecting them... It’s really astounding to me precisely how much work RWBY has done to say, “Ironwood is a very good, very heroic man who is trying to make the best possible decision with nothing but bad decisions available” and then turned around last episode to present him solely as that callous dictator “abandoning” his people. And yes, that’s absolutely the characterization we got. Which I know not merely because of a basic analysis of that scene but because the vast majority of the fandom has bought that characterization hook, line, and sinker. The last week my dash has been stuffed with posts going, “Yes! Take him down! I knew he was evil.” That scene was not fair---let alone kind---to Ironwood in the way that it should have been and it gave everyone the opening they needed to ignore the rest of the volume and prioritize Team RWBY’s own surface reading. They say they want to save people? Heroes! Ironwood says he needs to sacrifice Mantle? Villain! Never mind the actual situation wherein Team RWBY is arguing for the death of everyone whereas Ironwood is attempting to both save a chunk of his people + ensure that the war lives on. I’ve literally seen people complaining that he didn’t show enough sympathy, as if having a breakdown in his office isn’t enough and as if they have time for him to get all weepy over something he hasn’t even done yet. Which just shows how quickly most viewers are willing to throw these characters under the bus. Ironwood suddenly makes a decision without... idek what people want. Smiling? Crying? Begging Team RWBY to believe that he’s right? The fact that he’s mad (when he’s allowed to be mad) and stern (when he needs to be stern) is being used as some sort of  “proof” that he was the heartless tinman all along. 

Overall I’m just really over this disconnect. They did it with Ozpin and now they’re doing it with Ironwood: we’ll give you whole volumes worth of material demonstrating that they’re flawed but ultimately good people, only to suddenly swerve and insist they’re antagonists once they do something the group doesn’t like. I mean heaven forbid we actually get one moment of support in this show. I’m still waiting for even the shred of sympathy for Ozpin that everyone claimed we’d get once the group “calmed down.” Yeeeeah. It’s been weeks now. If our heroes can’t even extend the briefest bit of compassion towards their headmaster after watching his 1,000 years of hell that included the murder of his children, I highly doubt they’ll extend any towards Ironwood after making such a horrific call. No matter how much he’s done for him. All that support on his end and all the moral complexity of his situation is simply erased the moment Team RWBY decides they don’t like him anymore. And that sucks because all these characters deserve better. Ironwood doesn’t deserve to have his characterization erased like that and Team RWBY deserves to be complex, autonomous people with a continued capacity for growth.

Quick response to Mandalorian season finale

Behind a cut because, well.

Okay, yes, I am in this show for Dadalorian and Found Family etc. But I am at least as invested in the plotline this season about various factions of Mandalorians and their, for lack of a better word, sectarian disputes. Which frequently result in barfights. Because Mandalorians.

(AKA that scene where they picked up Bo and her minion was. A Delight.)

(Also, I love my girl Bo-Katan. Even if she’s very much a blunt instrument/not a politician going at this in all the wrong ways and was Very Rude to Boba but tbh I wasn’t 100% sure she was going to show up in this episode and I would’ve been Sad if we hadn’t gotten to see them meet. Either here or next season.)

(Still Sad at the lack of Sabine, though :( )

Leaving aside anything re: Gina Caranno (because that has been discussed by people much smarter and better-informed than myself), I’m kind of thrilled that the strike team was Almost Entirely Ladies.

(On that note. Uh. Does anyone else kinda. That little “Anyone else, we can take” smirk. And I just. Uh. Bo/Fennec, anyone??????)

(I kind of already ship Bo with Ventress tbh but a) multishipping ftw and b) threesome??????)

(Hi I’m shallow sometimes lol)

Anyway moving on.

Also the sound/almost-music when the Cylons Dark Troopers were activating was Excellent I approve.

And that Visual of the one trooper Din set on fire. ...honestly that whole hallway fight sequence was pretty Brilliant.

And the sort of...almost casual layer of the scene in the elevator. Even if these women haven’t worked together before, just that, “sure you don’t need any help with that?” “I got it. Excuse me.”

And that whole thing where Gideon was trying to Manipulate Din and he was like “...dude, I legit just care about the kid. I’ll fight for/with Bo-Katan because she’s pretty badass and I Might As Well plus she gets me what I want but I don’t...actually...Care about her Greater Cause?”

(Side note, I’ve spent a lot of time writing Bo-Katan/figuring out how her head works and literally all she cares about is Mandalore and its survival. It’s why she broke away from her sister in the first place, and has informed every single thing she’s done since. A lot of why she makes the specific choices she does goes back to the Mandalorian Civil War and her experiences there--especially since all the evidence indicates she was not with Satine and Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon. The way that separation and their different experiences of that conflict probably contributed to the eventual destruction of what seems likely to have been a Very Close Relationship before that is fascinating to me. And the subject of a fic I’ve been working on off and on for a couple years now, lol.)

(...anyway, where I was going with this was--I mean, yes, Gideon knows everything in terms of facts, but he doesn’t always interpret them correctly. IMO, Bo-Katan’s desire to rule Mandalore is less about power (for herself) than it is about Mandalore. Especially given some of what she says to Sabine in Rebels--if there was someone else she genuinely trusted to take the throne and rule her world, she’d be willing to cede her claim and be one of their generals. Especially since she’s very much not a political animal. She’s an excellent war leader, but not so much in terms of actual Governance.)

(insert long ramble about the Parallels between her and Anakin, which I touched on in one of my fanfics, lol; and will probably do more with in my BB project which involves the two of them and Padme as the main characters)

(And, yeah, she does want to fight Din for the right, but if she thought Din would be a good Duke/King of Mandalore, I think she would seriously considering swearing allegiance to him? Again, witness how she handled things with Sabine. Also she would probs prefer to avoid a third (fourth?) civil war in her lifetime. But, I mean. I love Din but he is. He is not a Leader. Not like her people need.)

(And I think the way things played out with Sabine affects her decisions here, too--she did accept the Darksaber as a gift/tribute then, but proceeded to lose it. Maybe she does need to fight for it the way Maul and Viszla did (presumably; we don’t know how he got the Darksaber; it may be something he inherited/have been held by House Viszla for a while, even if they never used it to dethrone the Kryzes until now).)

(But, then again, I mean, this has been her life for at least a decade, so...well, maybe she wouldn’t quite step aside. Even if an Absolutely Perfect candidate came along. But WRT Din specifically--given who he is and what he’s capable of, while she absolutely wants him in her camp (and on a personal level isn’t super thrilled about having to fight him like this; she seems to genuinely like this kid), my guess is she doesn’t want him ruling. Not without some more actual leadership training/experience. Because, well, he’s been either a follower or a loner in everything we’ve seen him in, and given Bo’s opinion of (possibly experience with?) the Watch/the group who raised him, and the fact that he’s consistently shown himself to have super-narrow priorities and not really caring about much outside of them...yeah, she probs has some Concerns.)

(Plus, he clearly doesn’t want it. And you have to Want It on some level in order to be an effective ruler--that Wanting can be from genuine altruism/wanting to make the world better, like we see with Bail and Padme; it can be from single-minded determination to Make Things Right, like Satine and I would argue Bo-Katan (Leia falls into either the first or second category, depending on the point in her storyline); and it can come from a desire for personal power and advancement (as we see with Pre Viszla and, of course, Skeev Palpatine himself; to be fair, rulers in this third category tend to be bad in other ways lol). But someone who genuinely doesn’t want power generally kind of Sucks when they’re unexpectedly handed it. Which I could cite several IRL historical examples of. And, I mean, obviously, this isn’t the only factor in play for what makes a good ruler/leader (see above re: Palps and Pre Viszla), but it is a factor.)

(Also, to clarify: none of these are bad qualities/traits, necessarily? Like, traits are good or bad depending on whatever context a person/character finds themself in. And in Din’s current context, with his current life and mission--even in situations where he has to coordinate with other groups in the service of a larger goal--these are excellent traits to have. But for someone who’s responsible for an entire nation? Not so much.)

(One could argue that Bo has some Issues there, too, albeit different ones, which is why I think she might be willing to step aside and cede her claim to a Genuinely Good/Better Alternative, if she found one. She’s a war-leader, not a ruler, and the two jobs require overlapping but different skillsets.)

(..........honestly? I don’t think the show would go there, but I think the two of them as a team/partnership ruling Mandalore would actually be really effective? Either on an equal footing or with one as the Official Ruler and the other as a second-in-command/right-hand. She has the leadership expertise and the actual will and drive to pull this off, and he has the diplomatic skill, as we see with the Tusken Raiders, among others.)

(Not a romantic partnership, lol, that would be Weird, but a political and probably eventually platonically affectionate one. Especially with how Mandalore feels about family of choice/adoption, and the fact that they’re both kind of alone now (whatever happened to Korkie, anyway??) even if no formal adoption is likely in their case...)

(Anyway. Uh. Long tangent aside...)

(also if there’s anyone who didn’t see Gideon trying to decapitate Din when his back was turned...IDEK what you were expecting. Like. I am All About guys like Pellaeon in the Imperial ranks, and the fact that there might be a few people who would make that offer/deal and be on the level. To say nothing of my best beloved Alexsandr Kallus. But. Uh. Gideon is. Not one of them.)

(Also, I thought it was a Nice Touch when the spear started turning red--because, no, the Darksaber can’t cut pure beskar. But it does generate heat, as we’ve seen in, say, TPM. And beskar does melt.)

Also, called it on tossing the Cylons Dark Troopers out the airlock Not Working in the long term.

While it’s not Cool or Flashy like a bomb or slicing, the Cylons Dark Troopers pounding the doors down with their goddamn fists was Cool and Terrifying in all the best ways.

Side note--I think even if I hadn’t been spoiled (forgot to mute the spoiler channels on the SW Discords I’m on before going to bed, and checked on autopilot), X-wing + Grogu perking up would’ve probably clued me in and I would’ve been SHRIEKING. I was still vibrating super hard even though I knew who was coming, but it probably would’ve been slightly more XD

(and then a moment of HAHA GIDEON KNOWS WHAT’S COMING)

(and so does my girl Bo)

(and then the green ‘saber and the glove and other costume details and IF YA DIDN’T SCREAM BEFORE YOU SURE ARE NOW!!!!)

(Kind of cool that they waited until the last minute before showing his actual face though)

NO MY GIRL BO-KATAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(IF YOU DIE WHO WILL GET DRUNK AND SWAP WAR STORIES AND MAYBE HAVE VICTORY SEX WITH FENNEC)

(shut up i’m shallow)

(also I love her she’s legit one of my favorite characters in this series I don’t want her to die DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD:)

OH GOOD SHE GOT UP

(yeah that was my actual real-time reaction to her getting shot lol)

“Talent without training is nothing.” ::insert Obvious/Tired joke about Luke having all of three months’ training At Best::

(also, I mentioned this in my last quick reaction, as well as elsewhere, but I’m...still kind of uncomfortable with the continuing implication that the Jedi path is the only option other than Darkness. Not because it’s a bad one, either in the PT-era or with Luke’s reconstruction. But the idea that the only way to achieve the mindset/emotional stability/whatever needed to wield the Force without Falling is through adapting the Jedi philosophy sits wrong with me. especially the implication that you can only do so from an early age/in isolation from other influences or bonds; which is a word I’m using very specifically because there’s a difference between Attachment as defined by the Jedi and interpersonal bonds which they clearly have and I don’t want this to get derailed by that particular Discourse(tm) That doesn’t even super hold up on Earth, with a single species, let alone in a galaxy with trillions of beings of multiple different species. Basically, people and the galaxy--and by extension the Force, which is in part created/influenced by living beings--are way too complicated for there to be only one right answer.)

(Also, it...doesn’t really hold up with the core message of Star Wars, which is about Choice? If the only way you can be a Good Force Adept is by meeting this extremely narrow set of criteria, most of which are outside your possible control......but I should probably save this for a separate post, lol.)

(The point is, I mentioned earlier in the post how much I’m LOVING the throughline in this season about different factions/sects among Mandalorians, and I think it would be Great if we got more of that with Jedi/Light adepts.)

(Anyway. Uh. Back to the episode...)

That FACE MOMENT had me legit crying omg

ARTOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!@@21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg had they MET

I...don’t know what I was expecting from the credits but Welp. I wonder who the body double was...

(And before you ask, I didn’t really get the Uncanny Valley effect from Rogue One, not even Tarkin, so.....yeah, I guess I don’t always pick up on that, or it hits me from weird directions, lol. Because I sometimes get that from the Rebels animation, especially in stills/gifsets, because everyone’s faces are all so Smooth...)

.........Jabba’s palace, okay.

.......Bib Fortuna, Okay.

(those fingernails, however, are Not Okay)

YAY RESCUE THE GIRL.

Good on you, Boba, just shooting him in the face instead of letting him posture!

although why you want to rule Tatooine is...okay then.

LOL at Fennec perching on the arm of the chair, sipping her booze all casual-like.

Right! So that was an Experience! Overall, I liked it. Looking forward to how Din and Bo handle things moving forward, in particular! Because, like I said, I’m in this series for Dadalorian (so IDK how I’ll feel with it no longer being the Core Story since Grogu left with Luke) and in this season for the Mandalorian factions/sects and how they interact.

I’m also not sure how I feel about three interconnected series leading up to a Major Finale Event? Disney’s Star Wars has not had a super great track record with giving all the information needed to follow things in the core product (see: the ST worldbuilding lol, and also some of the cameos/appearances in this season, even), so I’m Skeptical of how well they’ll do explaining what is Necessary in each of the three series, in case someone only watches one or two.

What were your thoughts?

Matchmaker P1

Introducing....Matchmaker! Min Yoongi has made me sooo soft lately and idek how I started stanning him but I decided to write this fic well just because...hope you all like it!

Plot: You’re a small name model who is close friends with Joshua and Taehyung and just moved to Korea after signing with an agency. You’ve been a fan of BTS for as long as you could remember and biased Yoongi. Little did you know, despite not being well known, you had caught Yoongi’s eye a long time ago and now you guys get to meet. Even though the two of you become friends, Yoongi’s apparently too shy and you’re just apparently oblivious to his feelings. Will it take a push from Taehyung and the rest of his members for you two to finally get together or will Yoongi be able to do it on his own?

Words: 3547

Warnings: May contain swearing, slightly intimate touches and Im not sure….

Genre: flufff/ slight angst

Taehyung sat stirring his drink as his members sat around him as they wrapped up their meal. They had finished their schedules early that day and had the rest of the day free to do whatever they pleased so Namjoon had suggested that the group eat together before splitting off. 

He was debating what to do for the rest of the day when Jimin looked up and saw someone he recognized.

“Hey isn’t that Joshua?” he asked and everyone turned their heads to see the vocalist at the cashier paying with a girl standing next to him and suddenly they were all wondering who she was.

Taehyungs’ lips twitched up when he recognized the woman standing next to his friend, ‘So she’s back eh?’

“Does Joshua have a girlfriend?” Jungkook wondered out loud.

“Maybe a family member…” Hoeseok suggested. “She’s cute though.” 

“She looks really familiar though. I think I’ve seen her picture somewhere...” Jimin said as Joshua and the mystery girl approached the group.

“Hey everyone” Joshua said with a wave, “I thought it was you guys sitting back here.” 

“Hey Joshua” the rest of the boys said but Taehyung continued.

“Hey Y/N.” he said with a wave and grin. 

Suddenly all eyes were on him and they all wondered how Taehyung knew this person.

“Hi Taehyung.” you said with a small wave as Joshua introduced you to everybody.

“Guys this is Y/N, a close friend from the States. Y/N, let me formally introduce you to BTS. As you know, thats Namjoon, Jungkook, Jin, Jimin, Hoseok and Yoongi and of course you know Taehyung.” he said pointing to each member who gave you a wave and polite smile. 

“It’s nice to officially meet you all.” you said with a smile shaking each of their hands, “I’m a fan of your music and Josh has told me so much about you all.”

“It’s nice to meet you too” Namjoon said, “Hopefully Josh has only said good things.” 

You gave Namjoon a small smile and shrug, “Maybe” 

“Are you here for work or pleasure?” Taehyung asked. “The last time you were in Seoul was for apartment hunting right?”

“I didn’t find a place back then and went back to the States for a while since my old contract didn’t expire. I just found a place recently though and signed with an agency. I have about a week to settle in before my schedules start.” you answered, “Are you busy right now? Josh and I were about to go furniture shopping.” 

Taehyung looked at Namjoon whose face was in slight awe but the leader shook his head.

“I’m good and you know I’m always down for shopping.” he said with a grin, “Give me a few minutes to finish up and I can get going.” 

“Great” Joshua said happy to have someone else join, “At least I won’t have to carry all her bags now. Just meet us outside when you’re done.”

“I’ll catch up with you guys in a bit.” he said as he started preparing to leave.

“It was nice to meet you all” you said the rest of BTS, “Hopefully we can meet again sometime.”

“Definitely, any friend of Taehyung is a friend of ours.” Jimin said with a large grin, “See you later.” 

The rest of BTS said their goodbyes with promises to meet again soon and you and Joshua went outside to wait for Taehyung.

Once the two of you were out of ear shot, all eyes went back to Taehyung who was just getting up.

“How do you really know her?” Jungkook asked, “She seems too old to be a trainee.” 

Taehyung blinked at the maknaes comment, “Do you guys seriously not recognize her?” 

Everyone shook their heads, even Yoongi was engaged at this point wanting to know too.

“She’s Minyoung’s older sister. The one who’s a model and dancer.” he answered and everyones eyes widened.

“Wait, Minyoung as in Dino’s girlfriend Minyoung?” Hoseok asked and Taehyung nodded. “Wow, daebak...no wonder she’s so beautiful. She was the MC at KCON L.A last year.”

“Bingo” Taehyung said, “She was freelancing back and forth between Korea and the States for a while but her parents have always wanted her to settle back here so I guess that’s why she signed with an agency.” 

“You seem to know quite a lot about her.” Yoongi said and Taehyung looked at the producer with a hidden smirk. “When was the last time the two of you spoke?”

“You guys would be surprised as to how much I do know and probably six months ago. Joshua keeps me updated though..” he said and stood up, “I should get going, I’ll keep you guys posted as to when I’ll be back.” 

“Maybe we can all meet up for dinner.” Namjoon suggested, “You can bring Joshua and Y/N  too.” 

“We’ll see what the plans are. Y/N likes to shop and she said she’s furniture shopping so…I’ll catch you guys later.” and with one last wave, he was out the door. 

The remaining six boys looked out the window to see the three of you walking away, it seemed that Taehyung and Joshua had said something to you because not too long later, both men were holding their arms in pain after you slapped them each.

“So she’s the girl Yoongi was checking out last year but never had the guts to approach.” Jin said with a teasing smile as the producers eyes remained glued on your disappearing figures.

“Maybe if you’re nice enough to him, Taehyung will let you hang out with her.” Jungkook teased and all the boys laughed as Yoongi’s face turned red. “I never thought the day would come that Yoongi would look at a girl like that.”

“Doesn’t he have a picture of one of her magazine covers in his studio?” Namjoon asked making Yoongi growl.

“Shut it guys.” he said and finished his tea angrily while everyone around him laughed and started teasing him.. 

Meanwhile, you, Joshua and Taehyung were walking through the furniture store where they continued to tease you.

“I still can’t believe she was able to keep her cool while meeting her bias.” Joshua said laughing and Taehyung nodded in agreement.

“You know Y/N, I can get him to come meet us if you want.” he teased, “I’m sure he would be just as eager” 

“You guys suck.” you whined, “I tell you both ONE secret and you guys hold it against me for the rest of my life.” 

“You love us!” Joshua said wrapping an arm around you shoulder as Taehyung did the same.

“Your life would be so boring if we weren’t in it.” Taehyung added. “Plus, I’m that connection with your bias...or should I say crush” he gave you a wink and you shoved both men away.

“You know, now that you’re in Korea full time, we’re going to be hanging out a lot more and with the schedule you already have lined up, I wouldn’t be surprised if our paths crossed professionally.” Joshua said, “I’ve always wanted to play matchmaker.” 

“Me too.” Taehyung agreed, “You and Yoongi are a perfect fit and I can’t imagine our fans being too upset...you may have a small reputation in the States but it’s going to grow once you start appearing in CF’s and ads here.” 

“You guys talk as if he’s already interested in me” you said with a roll of your eyes and stopped to pick up a rug that caught your eye while Taehyung and Joshua shared a look.

“Who says he isnt?” Taehyung asked, “Everyone kept pushing him to talk to you at KCON last year but that guy was too chicken shit to make the move.” 

“Plus, you’re beautiful, smart, creative, everything a guy could want in a girl.” Joshua added and nudged you, “I would say it’s only a matter of time.” 

“Whatever you say guys...whatever you say…” you said walking ahead of them to look at other items while trying to push the thought of Yoongi actually being interested in you out of your head.

Once the shopping was all done, you were all ready to split off and that’s when Taehyung extended the invite for dinner to you and Joshua.

“We promised to meet my sister and Dino for dinner today but you’re welcome to join us though.” you said with an apologetic look. “We’re also going to try to get together later this week for a small housewarming once all the furniture is set up.”

“Unless you want to come over tomorrow and give us a hand with setting up too.” ‘Joshua said, “Everyone’s doing something different so it’s only going to be the two of us along with Dino and Minyoung.” 

“I’m going to head back and have dinner with the guys tonight but I’ll see who I can round up for tomorrow.” Taehyung said, “What time were you thinking?” 

“I have a meeting with my agency in the morning so probably early afternoon.” you answered looking at Joshua for confirmation.

“Around there, I have to see who I can round up on my end too. You have a lot of stuff to build as is and with the decorations that you got, it’s probably going to take the whole day, or at least till dinner.” Joshua said and Taehyung nodded his head.

“She and her sister can take care of the decorating. You should leave the furniture building to us men.” Taehyung said trying to act macho and you rolled your eyes.

“Please, I was the one who set up my sisters apartment when she moved here two years ago. I think I’m capable of building furniture.” you stated, “We’ll see you tomorrow then. I’ll text you my address later.” 

“Sounds good. See you guys tomorrow.” Taehyung said and with a wave he headed back to his dorm.

During the day, he and Joshua had continuously teased you about your infatuation with Yoongi and despite you brushing it all off, it was obvious that you really did have a crush on his older member. He also knew that Yoongi kept a copy of one the magazine covers you did overseas in his studio and he started to wonder how he could get his two friends together. 

From what he knew, there were no obstacles between the two of you but at the same time, Yoongi himself could be a big obstacle. That guy had issues opening his heart to people and Taehyung just hoped that he didn’t have to meddle too much to get you two together. Plus, he had Joshua on his side and he was sure he could recruit Dino and Minyoung as well to give him a hand. 

Yes, operation “Get Yoongi and Y/N together” was a go and he just needed to discuss it with the other three.

By the time he got back to his dorm, it seemed that everyone was already home as if waiting for him.

“No Y/N and Josh?” Namjoon asked as Jin poked his head out of the kitchen wearing an apron.

“They have dinner plans with Dino and her sister.” Taehyung said going to his room to put his stuff away, “Why are you all home? I thought you guys had other plans too.” 

It was true, everyone had said that morning that they all had plans though he wasn’t surprised to find Yoongi actually in the living room area for once.

“Easily cancelled.” Jimin said getting straight to the point, “We want to know how you really know Y/N.”

“I made all your favorite foods” Jin said coming out with a variety of dishes and placed them on the table as each member started crowding him.

“Seriously? Did she really catch your attention that much?”  Taehyung asked in disbelief and each member nodded their heads including Yoongi.

“So how do you know her my dear Taehyung?” Namjoon asked as each member started eating as Taehyung started explaining.

“Better question, how are you two already so close?” Hoseok asked with a mouth full of food.

“You heard earlier, she’s Joshua’s friend from the States. I think they met when they were younger and kept in touch throughout the years. She and her younger sister were competitive dancers before Y/N got scouted and started modelling for a small agency.” Taehyung explained before taking a bite of his food. 

“That doesn’t answer our question.” Jungkook stated.

“Sorry, what were they again?” Taehyung asked pretending to forget and he felt himself get smacked upside the head by various members.

“How do you know Y/N and how the heck are you two so close?!” Jimin asked.

“Right...Joshua asked me to hang out with them a few years back when she came to visit and we’ve kept in touch here and there ever since. Remember that one free day we had during KCON and I said I had plans?” he asked and each member nodded.

“Joshua invited me to hang out with him and Y/N outside of the event and the three of us spent the day at Santa Monica” he said simply and felt himself get smacked in the head again, “What the heck!?”

“You met her a few years back but you couldn’t give Yoongi the push to talk to her at KCON last year? What kind of friend are you?” Jin asked with slight irritation. 

“We didn’t even talk during the event!” Taehyung said defending himself, “She was too busy on her side and it’s not like I knew you guys were fans of her. You guys just kept telling Yoongi to go talk to the “Cute MC girl”, there were like five there, how the heck was I supposed to know it was Y/N?” 

“Uh, the fact that he keeps a copy of her magazine cover in the studio would give you a hint, no?” Jin asked with a tilt of his head, “Gosh you kids are useless sometimes.” 

“Hey! For your information, I am currently your only way to get an in with her so I would watch what you say.” Taehyung said as Jin shoved a piece of meat in his mouth.

All the while, he had been watching Yoongi’s reaction throughout the conversation since they were conveniently sitting across from each other and he was happy to see the slight blush that appeared on the older members cheeks when the magazine cover was brought up. Of course he knew about it, everyone knew about it. Taehyung just liked to play dumb sometimes and after this conversation, he was pleased to know that his mission was going to be easier than he thought. Especially if he was able to recruit his five other members to help him out.

Later that night, Taehyung sent out a mass text to all his members minus Yoongi, along with Joshua and Dino.

[9:59pm] Tae - So is anyone interested in playing a little game of matchmaker?

Literally a second later he got various replies.

[10:00pm] Josh - You’re talking about Y/N and Yoongi right?

[10:00pm] Kookie - Y/N and Yoongi?

[10:00pm] Dino - If this is about Y/N and Yoongi, count me and Minyoung in. I don’t know if we can take any more of her inner fangirling. We’re at her apartment right now and Minyoung can’t stop teasing her about how she didn’t say anything more than hello.

[10:01pm] Chimchim - Yes!!! Anything to make Grandpa less grumpy

[10:01pm] Jin - As long as no one gets hurt.

[10:02pm] RM - The only one who’s gonna get hurt is Taehyung when Yoongi finds out what Tae is up to.

[10:03pm] Tae - He won’t hurt me because this plan is going to work. I will keep you all posted.

Taehyung put his phone away and grinned, yes everything was going to work out just fine...or so he thought.

The next day was a semi free day. They had a small meeting with the managers and once it was over, the group hung around the practice room when one of the trainees who had acted in one of their music videos came in to hang out with the members since she didn’t have a schedule that day.

“Hey Hara” the group said together while on their phones. 

“Hey guys” she said with a wave and went to sit next to Yoongi on the couch in hopes to talk to him for a bit but unfortunately for her, he looked like he was napping.

It was no secret among the members that this trainee had taken a liking to Yoongi almost right away, especially since they had been partners in the music video that they shot. It was obvious Yoongi was indifferent to her and treated her like he did everyone else but even when he paid a little attention to her, she was happy. Thats what they all found so weird about her.

A few of the guys were in conversation about upcoming schedules while Yoongi was watching Taehyun intently from the couch while ignoring things Hara was saying. Only nodding and speaking when he had to but in all seriousness, he was curious as to why Taehyung kept looking at his phone and grinning like a mad man. 

All the while, Yoongi was also keeping tabs on a conversation that was going on between Taehyung, Jimin and Jungkook.

“I don’t get it though, if she’s a model why isn’t she more well known?” Jimin asked and Taehyung shrugged.

“Josh said she wanted to finish school first before she pursued it full time so not many people in Korea know who she is. It was only by chance that she was scouted after graduation..” he explained looking down at his phone again. When the heck were you going to text him? It was already early afternoon and he had yet to hear a word.

“But her sisters a well known choreographer, it would only make sense that her name is out there too.” Jungkook said, “What did she graduate in?”

“You ask me as if I’ve known her my own life. Why don’t you ask Joshua? The one who has actually known her that long?” Taehyung suggested and just at that moment his phone went off making most of the guys look at him.

“Hey Y/N.” he said into the receiver and Yoongi’s ears perked up. 

“You just finished the meeting?”

“What about Joshua?”

“Okay, I’ll see who I can get and then meet you over there. Do you want me to bring anything?” 

Apparently your request had his eyes narrow, “Seriously? Okay, anything else?” 

Suddenly Taehyung cracked up as he heard Joshua’s voice over the line, “Okay, okay, it’s highly likely that I’ll be able to do that given the circumstances. Text me the address and I will see you guys there.”

“I have no idea what you mean Y/N, I am perfectly innocent. I’ll see you in a bit.” 

He then hung up the phone and looked around the room at his members and Hara.

“So I’m going to Y/N’s to help her set up the apartment...she’s inviting anyone who would want to come and give us a hand. She bought a lot of furniture yesterday and could use a hand in setting it all up.” he said and saw Yoongi’s head shoot up which made him hold in his smirk.

“We’re down to go.” Jungkook and Jimin said together.

“Jin and I have something to do first but we’ll drop by a little bit later.” Namjoon said, “Just text me her address.” 

Taehyung then looked at Hoseok and Yoongi.

“Are any of you interested?” 

“I need to get something done but I’ll see if I have time after.” Hoseok answered, “Tell Y/N I said hi though.” 

“Sure, why not.” Yoongi said boredly shocking Hara who was looking forward to hanging out with him and the guys.

The rest of the men shared a knowing look before Taehyung spoke again. “Great, we need all the muscle power we can get. We should get going, she and Joshua are already on their way there.”

Slowly, each of the members who were going to your apartment with Taehyung stood up and grabbed their stuff before following Taehyung out of the room while Hara looked on confused.

“Y/N?” she asked looking and Namjoon and Jin who were talking about something.

“She’s a friend of Tae’s who just moved here.” Namjoon said and then looked at Jin, “We should get going if we want to make it on time. Let’s go.” 

Jin nodded his head and got up, “Bye Hara.”

“Bye Hara” Namjoon said with a wave. 

Hara was left sitting in the practice room all by herself and she crossed her arms confused. Normally on their off days the guys wouldn’t mind spending it with her when she didn’t have any classes but the moment Taehyung said your name, most of the members attention was diverted and she had never seen Yoongi react so quickly to something outside of his work.

Just who were you and would you be a threat to her friendship with the guys?

[side-effect-of-the-meds]

Erin and Ania are like holy fuck I can’t even. But for real Neil sees Abby as a mother figure in the book so like is it the same for Ania? Andrew too? Idek I just need to know their relationships with everyone

It’s time I map out their relationships anyways lol so thanks, love!

Let’s start with the lovely Ania 

Dan, Allison, and Ania are roommates. It’s tough after Seth’s death bc Ania has to face her all the time. Erin tells Allison her theory too so Allison is avoiding Ania so :////

Dan is essentially what Matt was to Neil. She sees Ania and her first thought is ‘baby’. She adopts her so fast. Every morning before class, she’ll pinch Ania’s cheeks and kiss her fingers, chef-style Idk man. It’s just something my mom does to me ok. Let me be soft. 

Renee rooms with Erin so Ania isn’t comfortable with her. Anyone that can spend the night in a room with that girl has to be hardcore. 

Allison also gives Ania a lot of shit about her wardrobe. At some point it starts to get to her so when the monsters head to the mall, Erin catches Ania drifting towards the girl’s section on her own. She’s high so she follows her around, prodding her about it. When Ania tells her, there’s this moment where Erin’s drug haze parts for a second. Ania could have sworn that she saw anger flashing in Erin’s eyes for half a second. She shrugs it off until Allison shows up at the dorms with a bruise on her jaw. Erin knows Ania hides her body bc scars and bc she doesn’t like men staring at her. She refuses to let Allison shame Ania into doing something she doesn’t want to. In general, Allison and Ania have a rocky relationship because Erin keeps interfering. After Christmas, the two of them end up getting along a lot better bc they bond while Allison covers Ania’s bruises with makeup. Also after Christmas, Ania and Renee trade dorms so she and Allison aren’t in constant contact. Part of their friction was due to the amount of time they spent together. A lot of things have happened to Allison this year and the fact that she constantly has to see the source of a lot of her problems makes it hard for her to heal.  

I’ve considered Fem!Nicky but I personally prefer Gay/Lesbian solidarity between him and Erin a lot better so yeah (However if you want me to run a few Fem!Nicky hcs, hmu and I’ll do it. She won’t be a part of the fem!verse but it would be fun). He’s exactly the way he is in canon. However, he is constantly trying to set Ania and Erin up and Erin? Doesn’t? Stop? Him? She’s so desperately in love with Ania that if Nicky wingmanning for her is what it takes to win her over, then she’ll take it. She also has a really dirty sense of humor. The jokes he makes fuel her late-night fantasies. 

Aaron is disgusted with Nicky and, more importantly, himself. Ania is incredibly beautiful and he’s incredibly straight. He doesn’t like her bc he’s so gone for Katelyn. That doesn’t make Ania any less pretty. He finds himself staring at her all the time but so does every other fox so he doesn’t feel bad. 

Katelyn thinks Ania is hot. She’s bi but leans heavily towards guys. It takes Aaron a long time to unlearn his homophobia but he manages it because Katelyn is bi and he couldn’t possibly hate anything about her. Once Riko is gone and Ania is safe, she starts to develop feelings. I mean, she always had feelings but now she doesn’t try to suppress them. She lets herself want to be friends with people. Katelyn happens to be at the top of her list. While the twins are with Bee at their sessions, Katelyn and Ania hang out. Sessions are only an hour/hour and a half long so the girls just grab a soda together or go window shopping in Reddin. I hc Katelyn as a genuinely sweet VSCO girl. Let me have this! Ania has a grunge/goth aesthetic because Erin buys her clothes for her but she thinks Katelyn’s clothes are cute too. Erin wants to hate the thousands of scrunchies and anklets she finds strewn across the dorm but they make Ania so happy. Once on a double date, on Bee’s insistence, Katelyn catches sight of a bubblegum pink scrunchie in Erin’s hair. It’s a stark contrast to her all-black outfit but it’s really cute. When Aaron goes to grab their drinks from the barista, Katelyn tells her so making sure to stay well out of Erin’s reach. Erin just grunts and turns to look out the window. The twins don’t blush with their whole face. Instead, their ears turn red. With Erin’s hair pulled up and out of the way, Katelyn has no trouble seeing her burning red ears. It’s progress! 

Ania spends a lot more time out at Evermore as a kid than Neil did. As a result, she was really close to Kevin and Riko. She only knew Jean for like a month before she dipped. I got a request for Fem!Jean so you’ll see Ania’s relationship with Jeanie soon. Kevin sees her as a baby sister. He and Kayleigh were actually at the hospital when Ania was born. There’s a baby photo back at Kayleigh’s old house of 3yr old Kevin carrying a newborn Ania. He’s crying rivers in it. There’s an actual video of it as well. In it, Kay asks him why he’s crying. “She’s sho shmall!” little Kevin sobs. “Can I keep her? Pleashe, mom. I’ll be nice to her and take care of her and I’ll tell her I love her all the time.” You can hear someone laughing in the background. The camera pans across the room to reveal Wymack sitting in a chair by the door, cackling

TANGENT BUT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT WYMACK FOR A MINUTE! So Wymack and Kay are friends with some obvious benefits. He flips his shit when Kevin is born because what if that’s his kid??? Kay is just like, I was with a lot of guys and brushes it off. She’s lying through her teeth. Wymack is the only man she’s ever loved. Tetsuji is salty and I will go into this in another post but I think that Tetsuji really hated Kevin because he was Kay’s son but not his. I absolutely believe that Tetsuji was in love with Kayleigh Day and was pissed when she had a kid. Anyway, Wymack flies out to Ireland a lot to check up on Kay and Kevin because Kay is crazy. How could the inventor of exy not be? It’s literally murder lacrosse. He goes out to make sure Kay isn’t overworking herself and bc Kev has no father figure. Kev grows up knowing Wymack and absolutely adores him. When Kay dies, Wymack wants custody of Kevin. Kay knows who the Moriyamas are and recently she and Tetsuji have been fighting a lot. She’s scared that something is going to happen to her so she writes her will and emphasizes that she wants her son sent to Wymack if she dies. Her fight with Tetsuji comes to a head and the car ‘accident’ happens. It’s not an accident. Tetsuji ordered her killed in a fit of rage. He’s devastated when it actually happens. He loved her and now she’s dead. Well, who’s fault is that, ya dumb bish? He flies out for the funeral and so does Wymack. Tetsu finds the will first and is anger. He has it burned and has Nathan forge a new one where he gets custody of Kev. It breaks Wymack’s heart bc now he thinks Kay didn’t want him around Kev. Kevin is five and he’s crying because his mom is dead and now he can’t live with Wymack. He calls Wymack Dad and Wymack can’t do anything about this. Instead, he just hugs little Kev close and tells him it’ll be okay. Wymack tells Kev that Tetsu has a niece his age. Maybe Kev and Riko can be friends. Maybe they’ll even get married. Kevin says that’s disgusting and Wymack laughs a hollow laugh. Anyway, that’s how Kev gets shipped to Evermore. Tetsu doesn’t allow Wymack near Kev bc he knows the truth. The reason why Wymack always has a sports channel on because he used to keep it on in case Kev ever showed up. He watched every one of Kev’s games and interviews and everything. Wymack doesn’t get to be there to watch Kev grown up so he just watched from a distance. I'm not crying you are. 

Wymack is a father figure to Ania and Erin. He’s there when Ania is born bc he went to visit Kay and Kev who were in Baltimore to meet baby Nathania. Kay carts him out to the hospital to meet her too. Nathan Wesninski was not in the room when his daughter was born. He doesn’t even meet her until she’s six months old. Wymack is the first man Nathania meets and she doesn’t even know. Mary didn’t want to hand Nathania over to Wymack but she and Kay are friends and she knows that he’s her baby daddy. Wymack doesn’t recognize Ania because he only knew her for a month when she was a newborn. Of course he doesn’t recognize her. However, he thinks about her a lot. She’s actually the first baby he’s ever held. He didn’t get to hold Kevin until he was two. Wymack treats Ania the same way he treats Neil but he puts in a bit of extra care bc he knows about Millport incident. 

Abby is definitely as much of a mom figure as she was to Neil. However, after she shows her her scars, Ania gets a lot closer to her. She refuses to tell her things but when Erin gets sent to Easthaven, Ania has a hard time staying at the dorms. She spends all her time at the court bc she has to. She hides in the library bc it’s the one place she wouldn’t see Erin anyways. She crashes at Abby’s a few times because there are times she can’t stand the thought of going back to the dorms without feeling the brush of Erin’s hand on the back of her neck. 

Oh. That’s a thing. Every night after midnight practice n Kev has gone to his room, Ania says goodnight to Erin. Erin will trail her hand across the back of Ania’s neck as she passes in response. It makes Ania shiver because her neck is as much of an erogenous zone as Erin’s is. Erin always watches it out of the corner of her eye bc God it’s the most amazing thing she’s ever seen. It makes her feel. Ania doesn’t really realize???? She’s so dumb. She knows it makes her feel good but she just can’t for the life of her figure out why. 

It’s time I addressed the real psycho lesbian… While Erin’s is a facade, Riko is genuinely psychotic. She’s seven types of crazy. Actually, it skews a little more yandere but I will go into depth about it in the Fem!Jean fic. Rn, I’ll try to keep it short. Riko has her first crush when she’s eight? Nine? She kisses her crush on the cheek when she’s ten and Tetsuji… doesn’t take it well to say the least. The bit about it’s easier to remain straight? It’s the thing Kevin hears Riko say to herself every morning in front of the mirror. Regardless, Riko never gets over that first crush. Riko will never not miss Nathania Wesninski. When she finds out who Ania really is? She loses it. It’s fate, she tells herself. She will have Ania or die trying. Christmas at Evermore is a thing so I mean, I guess she does have Ania :( But she wants Ania to love her. She tells Ania as much and Ania spits in her face. :)

Most of Erin’s relationships are the same except for the Matt and Renee thing I covered earlier. The only other one that changes is Kevin. I know I say this a lot, but she really thought Ania and Kev would be a thing. She says no to Kevin for everything bc she’s petty.  Kevin has always gotten everything that he wanted handed to him on a silver plate. Now he’s taking the one thing she really wants.  If he gets Ania, he can’t have anything else. Again, I’ll cover her relationship with Jean later. 

Thanks again your ask <3

Edit: I'm really tired and have a quiz tomorrow but I forgot to talk about Cleo. I'll make a separate post about her so stay tuned for that!!!

Unspoken Truths

Who: Chrow What: Charlie shows up at the ranch to surprise Row, gets more than she bargained for. When: Man, idek, but it was a Saturday! Where: Animal Sanctuary.

@erickson-charlie

Rowan groaned as she unloaded the last hay bale from the trailer. she had been at it for an hour and the sun was barely peeking over the horizon. Still, she didn't mind sacrificing sleep and her back's well being for a good cause, and getting a bunch of animals a home was more than worth it all in her books. There was also the fact that keeping busy helped with the tangle of thoughts and emotions haunting her every waking moment; a win-win all around. "Hey, Rowan, fancy helping out with the kennels?" Came the cherry voice of one of the managers, a sweet guy with a sadistic streak. "Not really, but God knows you won't do it if I don't."

Charlizard didn't entirely know what had possessed her. No, that was a lie. Of course she did. When she'd seen the flyer advertising the adoption event, her mind had immediately gone to two places: the first was that she'd love to help. The second was that it meant a way to spend some time with Rowan in an environment that had once made them both happy. Thus she'd dressed that morning in tight jeans and a flannel shirt, covering her pink hair with an ironically worn cowboy hat, and taken an uber to the shelter. "You were right," she grinned at Row's manager. "She really does whine a lot."

Rowan rolled her eyes and made her way towards one of the buildings, all the while looking at the scuffed tips of her boots. As soon as another voice piped up, though, her head snapped up so hard that she could've sworn she heard a crack. Even while wearing a cowboy hat, there was no way of mistaking the bubblegum pink of her friend's hair. "Charlie... What are you doing here?"

Charlizard was sure she heard a crack as well, because human heads weren't meant to turn as quickly as Row's had. "I'm here to help with the adoption!" Charlie explained too slowly, as if speaking to a child, before laughing brightly. Even being back at the shelter did wonders for her mood. "As long as you don't mind me pitching in, of course." That part, she meant - if Row really had a problem with her being there, she wanted her to say so.

Rowan stared for a long moment, her brain processing the answer. The last person she had expected to see that day was standing just feet away, smiling brightly like the midday sun. Her own smile was slow to grow, but just as bright as Charlie's. All the pain aside, the shelter held some of the best memories she had crafted with the then blonde, and maybe for just the day, she could pretend she wasn't irrevocably in love. "Of course I don't mind, especially since you got here just in time to help me wash the kennels."

Charlizard shifted a little from foot to foot as she waited, making sure that her friend - or whatever the right word was now - was really okay with her presence. Seeing her smile, though, was all the answer necessary and she didn't even mind that the task before them was one of the smelliest that they'd done the first time. The chance to work at Row's side and recreate one of their best days together was worth any amount of exertion. "Lead on, partner. We'll have 'em sparkling in no time, or my name's not Charlie Fabray."

Rowan whistled a nameless tune as she hosed down the last of the kennels, washing away unspeakable things. It had taken them a good couple of hours to get it done, but Charlie was surprisingly handy with a power washer and a push broom. Speaking of the devil, the girl was a few feet away, putting the broom in it's hook. It gave Rowan an idea. With a flick of her wrist, the stream of warm water was redirected towards Charlie, hitting her legs. Just as quickly as it happened, Rowan went back to washing the floor. "Oops, sorry, my hand slipped."

Charlizard felt great. Sure, the kennels was a gross job and all, but it meant she was working alongside and Row and for a while she could pretend that everything was alright. They came clean, slowly, and her muscles were aching in a pleasant way as she reached up to hang up the broom. The warm water on her legs caught her by surprise, but there was no mistaking the smirk in Row's eyes. "Oh, I completely understand," she nodded. "I mean, these things just happen. One minute you're running the power washer and then bam!" she sprayed Row in the chest. "Your hand slips and all hell breaks loose. Sorry about that."

Rowan 's jaw hung open as she looked down at her now soaked top. Thankfully, she hadn't been wearing her jacket or she'd be screwed; the chill of fall in Colorado spared no one. With eyes narrowed playfully, she faux glared at Charlie. "Yeah, things just haooen exactly like that. You ought to be more careful, miss Fabray." The corner of her lips slowly curling into a devious smirk, she slowly advanced on her friend, hose still in hand. "We wouldn't want all this water to make my hand slip again. It is terribly cold out there."

Charlizard couldn't help but giggle at the look on Row's face, even if it did mean trouble for her. "Now, now," she backed up, still holding the offending hose in one hand. "We definitely don't want that. In fact, maybe you should go ahead and put that hose down before some kind of accident happens. We wouldn't want to do anything we might regret later, right?" She was rapidly running out of room to back away, the kennels close at her heels. "Don't do it, I surrender!" she offered, putting both hands up - although not letting go of the hose, just in case.

Rowan chuckled, loving every second of the interaction that took her back to better times, easier times. "The thing is, I've never regretted anything I've done with you, so your point is moot." The look she gave Charlie was positively predatory as she further closed the distance between them, trapping the girl in place by holding onto the kennel cage behind her. She meant closer, almost whispering. "It's more fun when you put up more of a fight." And as soon as she had approached, Rowan turned around and walked away again, putting the hose in its respective hook on the wall. "Wanna go feed the goats before lunch?"

Charlizard had to swallow, hard, as Row pinned her against the kennel. Yes, the interaction was fun and lighthearted, but jesus did she want to lean forward and kiss her just then. Even dressed for dirty jobs and soaking wet, Row was a beautiful woman and they'd spent no shortage of time exploring each other. Even her line about not regretting anything they'd done cut her to the quick, although it hadn't been Row's intent. "I'll keep that in mind," she breathed a sigh of relief as some distance opened up between them. She almost took one last cheap shot by spraying her in the back once more, but that didn't seem fair. "I'd love to," Charlie agreed, hanging up the power washer hose and making sure it was turned off. "You wield a mean hose."

Rowan chuckled, holding the door open for Charlie to go through. "Not sure what that says about me, but I do take pride in whatever skills you think I have." Leading the way towards the break room, she almost, almost reached for Charlie's hand out of habit. Her nails dug crescent shapes into her palms as she fisted her hand tightly. "How did you even end up here today, anyways?"

Charlizard stepped through the door, laughing under her breath at her friend's reply. She'd meant the innuendo, of course, but it was nice to have her play along a little. She wanted to take it a little further, but clamped down on that instinct - it wasn't going to lead anywhere good for either of them. "I saw a flyer for the adoption day," Charlie explained. "I knew you'd be here, so I grabbed an Uber and came down so I could help out." The fact that it was one of the places where their happiest memories were born wasn't to be mentioned.

Rowan smiled to herself. She had invited Charlie to the sanctuary on a whim, and now the girl was invested in the place in a way. She didn't dare think it was exclusively to spend time with her. "Well, I'm glad you came. Really glad." If the smile she gave Charlie was a little sad, well, she simply couldn't help it.

Charlizard "Me too," Charlie replied. And perhaps her answering smile was a bit sad as well, but she knew that neither of them were going to mention it. That way led to nothing but badness, and neither of them wanted that. "I mean how often am I going to get to spray you with a hose, right?"

Rowan getting their food and managing to exit the cafeteria had been nothing short of a challenge. Everyone had fallen in love with Charlie the first time Rowan had taken her to the ranch, and everyone wanted to say hello upon seeing her again. It warmed Rowan's heart, but she was starving by the time they made it outside. "So, how about we take a horse and have lunch by the stream?"

Charlizard had been a little overwhelmed by the people coming up to greet her. The idea of being well liked was something the pink haired girl had no experience with, so when every step brought someone new who wanted to say hi she was left a bit frazzled by the time they made it out. The idea of being somewhere away from people, especially after riding a horse again, was enough to bring a grin to her face. "That sounds amazing."

Rowan chose the same horse from their first ride together, of course. There was few words offered on the ride to the stream on her part, her attention mostly taken up by the feeling of Charlie in her arms, pressed so close together. It was as much of a blessing as it was pure torture; the definition of bittersweet. Love could change a person in many ways, and sometimes it simply brought a deeper truth to see the light of day. For Rowan, it was a newly discovered masochist streak as she pressed closer, resting her chin on Charlie's shoulder.

Charlizard was almost certain the horse was the one they'd ridden once before - she didn't recognize the animal on sight, but there was a familiar energy about it that told her the truth. And despite everything that Charlie had tried to push down and push away, there was a bliss in being held tightly by Row. Life was so powerfully, deeply unfair. Why had she found the love of her life and then discovered that there was another? Was it her own private hell that made her love two women and be unable to tell either of them about the other? When Row's head rested on her shoulder she reached up with the opposite hand to scratch gently at her scalp. Maybe, like Orpheus, everything would be okay if she just didn't look back.

Rowan would never admit it out loud, but she made sure the pace of the horse was slower, trying to make the trip last just a little longer. She couldn't freely have moments like those with Charlie anymore, but even if her conscience felt heavy with guilt and her heart further torn open by yearning, she would steal little moments like those. It was freeing, even when it made her want to cry as she spoke softly against Charlie's ear. "I missed this."

Charlizard would never have admitted it if she noticed their slow pace. The longer the ride went, the longer she could pretend that everything was okay. That she could have these moments with Row and not break anyone's heart - even her own. Her breath caught in her throat at Row's soft confession, and Charlie felt a tear sneaking down her cheek as she imagined a world where she could have all she wanted. "I missed you," the emphasis being firmly on the last word. "I get it now. Why you're avoiding me. I just...I miss you."

Rowan clenched her teeth tightly at Charlie's words. Maybe the girl had gotten it right, or maybe she had it all wrong, but in any case, Rowan wouldn't - couldn't - knowledge the implication. Doing so would only bring more hurt for everyone involved, but perhaps she could give them both some sort of closure. "You're not gonna lose me, even when I'm not there." The rest of the ride she didn't say a word, simply basked in the feeling until she regretfully had to let go in order to dismount the horse. "Pretty sure the food is half cold now, but oh well."

Charlizard wished she could believe that. She'd already seen Row with Taylor and thrown up because of it, and she had to believe that if it was hard enough for her then one day Row would do the best thing for her heart and soul and walk away for good. And a part of Charlie's heart would go with her on the journey. "Good," she replied, though, not willing to challenge the truth. "Because I don't ever want to." The whole way, her fingers never stopped working over Rowan's scalp and the distance between them never grew any bigger. "That's alright. It was nice to come out here with you. And I'm fine with lukewarm food." Charlie slid down from the horse, her hat tipping forward over her eyes.

Rowan smiled fondly at the sight before her, it was just like their first day together at the shelter. Charlie was simply not a country girl. Gently, she tipped the girl's hat back into place. "Who would've thought Charlie Fabray was such a cute dork. Certainly not me after you all but begged me to slap you." She winked, couldn't really help it. Deep down, past the hurt and the anger with herself, Row still found herself loving Charlie as a friend. "I didn't pay attention and so I have no idea what we're having for lunch." She to the fallen log by the stream with a ridiculous flourish, "shall we find out what's in the menu?"

Charlizard didn't flinch as Rowan fixed her hat, a blush rising in her cheeks as Row described her as dork. Truth was, under her bluster that was the way she usually felt - like a dork hanging out with the cool kids. The reminder of how it had all started between them was one that was both happy and sad at once, and she stared into her friend's eyes. "And you did. And it was a real good slap." She giggled at the fact that they were having a mystery meal, but it didn't bother her. "Let the magical mystery tour begin!"

Rowan put her empty plate back inside the plastic bag and held it open for Charlie to do the same. "Y'know, I've definitely had worse things than lukewarm fajitas. Which, in hindsight, says an awful lot about me, but we'll ignore that part." Tying the bag and putting it on the ground, she then leaned back, basking in the warmth of the sun chasing away the cruel chill announcing the start of winter. Somehow, she felt lighter right then. Her heart was still far from healed, but being so far away from everything and everyone gave her some much needed respite. She almost felt like herself. "Hey, Char, can I ask you a question?"

Charlizard stowed her empty, not wanting to leave any trace of their presence in the beauty that surrounded them. "I mean I can't judge you. Lukewarm fajitas are actually pretty decent compared to some of the things I've eaten. I once ate spam, and I'm pretty sure that stuff should be banned by the Geneva Convention because it's the most disgusting thing in the world." Her rant about food was cut off at the knees by Row's question, and she peered over with a nod. "It worries me that you're asking, because normally you'd just go ahead and ask, but...sure. Ask me anything." Except for the truth, she silently amended.

Rowan gave a half-chuckle, half-scoff at the observation. It was true, she hardly had any reservations around Charlie when it was just the two of them, but this was a delicate matter. She needed to find the right words that would give her answers without disrupting the delicate balance that kept them sane and the waters as calm as could be under the circumstances. In the end, Rowan settled for the only thing that mattered, and her voice remained surprisingly steady, though she couldn't bring herself to look at Charlie as she spoke. "Are you happy? I don't want details or long winded explanations, I just need to know, please."

Charlizard hadn't been sure what to expect from Row's question, because she'd been honest when she observed that her friend would never normally have asked permission for a question. When it came, she wasn't quite sure how to answer. Was she happy? Gloriously. Being with Morgan and finally finding love had left her in a mental place that she'd never been lucky enough to experience before now. But as she studied her chipped nails and searched for the right response, she couldn't help but notice the Rowan shaped hole that would have made her happiness complete. "Almost completely," she finally replied in a hesitant voice. "Almost."

Rowan accepted the answer for what it was, even as she refused to dwell on the fact that it hadn't been a straight 'yes'. Something had changed on the ride to what she considered their spot, but some skeletons were best left in the closet, lest they wanted to put more hearts on the line. Rowan knew Charlie understood, she knew, and that made her realize something: she had to try harder for Charlie. For Morgan. Gently, she patted the girl's leg and gave her a small smile. "You'll get there, Charlizard. You both deserve it."

Charlizard pressed her hand over Row's where it sat on her leg, trying to summon up a response that wasn't just going to make her cry. Maybe they would get there. Maybe there would come a day when she could fill the hole in her heart with something that wasn't Rowan and move on. But there would always be an ache there, and it seemed like the sort of thing that would get worse over time rather than better. "I hope so," she finally whispered, voice choked by the lump in her throat. But it was a lie. To hope so would be to hope that she forgot her feelings for the girl who'd once slapped her in the face, and that was a horrible thing to wish.

Rowan felt the ache in Charlie's voice resonate within her very soul. It wasn't too different from the feeling that made her tear up and her heart break as she sat laughing after finding out about her best friends being together. It was all too real and raw. It the kind of pain that you'd find in cheesy novels and rom-coms, the kind you did t believe in, until it struck. Looking at the horizon, at the oranges and pinks that announced the incoming sunset, she threw an arm around Charlie's shoulders and craddled her gently against her side, head resting in that mop of bright pink she was so fond of. "I know so."

Charlizard let her head rest there, Row's arm around her as the sun began to set. And how appropriate that felt, in that time and place. Her friend was too good to her. Too willing to put aside her own feelings and help Charlie deal with hers, even if that dealing came in the silence of a hug and the company of a friend. More than a friend, but a friend nonetheless. "It's less than none of my business. And I really shouldn't say anything at all, and you can push me in the water if you want, but...Taylor? You can do so much better, Row."

Rowan pushed down the expected reflex to take a defensive stand. She never took kindly to people trying to pry or judge whatever she decided to do with her life, but Charlie meant well. Taylor had been... Unexpected, but that was exactly what she needed just then. A distraction, someone to keep her busy and, dare she even think it, warm. She was human, after all. "She's not that bad once you make clear you won't take bullshit. She's sweet, actually, and she's trying." Rowan explained gently, thinking of her blonde mess of a lover and now friend, she really was grateful for Taylor's understanding and willingness to be there as soon as Rowan called. "She's still an idiot, but gets the job done."

Charlizard nodded against Row's shoulder. The first few things she said made Charlie feel bad for even bringing it up - it truly wasn't her place, and she should stay out of it unless she could offer some sort of alternative - which she really couldn't, not without dropping a bomb in three lives. The last sentence, though, made her stiffen up briefly before she let out a slow breath. "Then I can't fault either of you," she murmured. "I'm glad that she's there, and that she..." her voice choked off again, her mind trying not to think of the time she'd spent in Row's arms. "That she gets the job done."

Rowan grimaced, the words felt even more wrong when said by Charlie. "I definitely could've worded that better, sorry." There was a tiny part of her that wasn't sorry at all, coming from the corner where the deepest pain had taken residence. It took pleasure from the bitterness in Charlie's tone, wrong as it was. Rowan ignored that ugly side. "We should definitely head back, they'll be closing up soon." And yet, she didn't move, all too content to stay with Charlie in her arms, in case it was the last time.

Charlizard shook her head. "It's alright, you've got the right to talk like that. I mean she is your friend, after all." Calling her a girlfriend was a step too far for Charlie to take, and she didn't. "Yeah, we probably should." But she didn't move either, blinking to keep the tears from her eyes as she relaxed in Row's arms. It felt like something out of an old country song, something like her parents used to listen to on long drives. There was no strength in her to get up, and no urge to follow through on the suggestion.

Rowan drove them back to Erickson in silence. After their talk, something had shifted and now sat heavily in between them. Knowledge was a double-sided blade, and even those things not spoken out loud could leave behind a deep wound. Still, Rowan held Charlie's hand gently in hers, thumb rubbing soothing circles over right knuckles. 'Well be fine, I just need time.' was the silent reassurance, the promise for the storm to pass. Somehow, they had found their way into each other's lives, an unlikely friendship that could've been so much more, and Rowan knew that, somehow, they would find their way through the fog again. After all, love was never easy.

Charlizard stared out the window, because it was easier than looking at Rowan. The talk was the closest they'd come to actually acknowledging the truth that lay between them threatening to explode, and while it still sat there maybe the fuse had been lengthened for a while. Everything hurt - mind, body and soul. But Charlie wouldn't have passed up the chance to work at Row's side or ride a horse with her one more time, not for any price or any reason. Whether Row was slapping her or holding her hand, she still craved the contact. With her free hand she turned on the radio, settling on a country station and squeezing Rowan's hand a little tighter.

[red-sterling]

thanks for answering!! i hope you don't mind if i send more charas...how about green and/or lillie?

fhgjkfdg aw yea thank u!! hopefully this doesn’t publish before i’m done typing lol

also this definitely needs a readmore bc i got emotional abt Green oops

Green

favorite thing about them

first of all: the fact that Green canonically has a rivals to best friends arc with Red fills me with so much joy and YES they are on their alolan honeymoon you cannot convince me otherwise

okay like. gen 1 Green just perfectly encompasses what it’s like to be a ten year old in a way? like ofc he’s written like a kid bc he is a kid, but i feel like the writing on him just feels so genuine as compared to some of the other 10 yr old rivals you get in other regions. even though he’s kinda a brat at the start, he kinda eases up a bit as you go along your journey and starts giving you progressively nicer/more praise-y end lines when you beat him (going from “i picked the wrong pokémon!” to “so, you are ready for boss rocket!”) but still retains this childlike rivalry and competitiveness and i love that about him

and like. fucking beating him at the Indigo League still completely breaks my heart because even after he did become the champion at age 10 the first thing that happens is you beat him and Prof Oak just yells at him for being bad at things and like. ow. 

this is why i headcanon that Red actually took awhile longer to get to Green like please. please give my boy a chance to be happy and proud

also Red was caught up with Team Rocket anyway so i imagine he must’ve fallen a little behind at some point? anyway

the development on him across regions is so choice!!! he’s so much more mellow and even kinda melancholic when you find him in gsc/hgss, like he’s calmed down over a few years and he obviously misses Red so much but like, it’s clear that Red is kinda the reason Green does settle down and he seems to have worked on his character and become a nicer person - and he still has that sassy flair to him! he’s just got that gradual slope from asshole rival to kinda aloof gym leader to friendly/sassy battle legend and aaaaa i love my boy so MUCH

also huge point: he’s so fucking driven??? he’s got the most drive and the most passion for battles/pokémon in general out of all the rivals i feel. he’s only closely matched by Silver, but Silver seems to be more aggressive than passionate, and somewhat out of necessity too (like, Giovanni abandoned him what was he to do), whereas Green just really like. he genuinely just cares so much about battles and about pokémon in general! he literally calls you in hgss and just rants about how many different kinds of pokémon there are in the world!!!

also in Alola he’s like???? just so sweet?????? he congratulates you and is like hey you’re really strong lets battle like!!!!!!!!! supportive boy!!!!! he has come so far over so many generations and i cry

also on Four Island when you play frlg he legitimately says “Be smelling ya!” when he leaves and how do you not love this idiot

least favorite thing about them

i mean. while i get that you beat Green right after he becomes the champion in the kanto games i feel like there should’ve been more pomp and circumstance for him and i’ll never forgive gamefreak for giving this boy his dream, then making you rip it away from him, and then watching his own gramps yell at him for fucking up like. again it’s that drive, i get why Red keeps such good pace w Green but i just feel like he worked so hard and he deserved so much better than that

also while i’m very biased towards him bc Big Emotions, i feel like if i knew this boy irl who was constantly i’m so great and you’re a loser i would probably punch him eventually lmao. in theory it’s kinda endearing but as a real person that’d be grating 

favorite line

on one hand, “smell ya later” is so fucking iconic, but on the other - 

“I’m Blue. Man, this guy called Red brought me down in a heartbeat. I haven’t seen him in a long time…I wonder where he is and what he’s up to… Come to think of it, you look a little bit like Red. Yeah, you do. Just…Just a little bit. Whatever…”

my namelessshipping heart

ALSO NOT CANON BUT GREEN RANTING TO YOU ABOUT RED AND GETTING SO DISTRACTED THAT HE FORGETS TO GIVE YOU THE POKÉDEX????? BIG GAY

brOTP

for long elaborate headcanon reasons, i see him as being a good brotp with Kris - i headcanon her as also being really driven the way Green is, but more quiet about it, she’s kinda a good balance to him and they probably do pokemon research together. i also feel like she kept him sane while Red was still missing/before they found him on a fuckin mountain

OTP

do i really need to tell you that i’m 100% namelessshipping

like they perfectly balance each other. Green has all this energy and all this spunk and Red is just like… so opposite of him y'know? he’s quiet and he’s more measured in his behavior i feel, he doesn’t really rush into things as much, and yet they both really just took Kanto by storm when they were kids, and i like how they have this foil dynamic and are both still so successful? they’re so different and they complement each other in that way, and they both find success in their own ways

like one of the reasons i hate that Green’s championship gets undersold so much is that he did beat you to the punch, and he has been one step ahead of you, and there’s so much passion there and it’s so loud - and yet you as Red are just as driven, you take down Team Rocket, you’re always right on his tail, so close but not quite there, you’re the only one who can keep up with him and you’re the only one he cares enough about to slow down for

so like. idk with even all my headcanons about namelessshipping aside (and i can infodump those another day lol), i feel like the in-game representation of them just works. they just work so well together, they balance each other without ever holding each other back, and there’s something really beautiful about that in a relationship y'know

…..i feel bad abt not putting as much infodump about isshushipping now but oh well

nOTP

i don’t really have a notp with him? i kinda like. i basically just do namelessshipping, but i don’t get a visceral eugh when i see other ships with him, just kinda a well it’s not nameless so i’ll be on my way. idek what other ships w him are popular?? i’ve been in nameless hell since 2012 so 

random headcanon

while Red is still living on Mount Silver, Green is not coping well with having him so far away, and so Green massively overworks himself to the point that he keeps just not being in his gym sometimes bc he’s bouncing between the gym, training multiple teams, pokémon research, and ofc going to visit Red whenever he can. this leads him to be kinda temperamental after he’s been working on 2 hours of sleep a day for like a week until he just has an emotional meltdown and crashes, and then he gets right back into it because he has no self preservation

…….. nicer headcanon; Red can only cook two (2) foods, so Green cooks all the food for them when they move in together. he has attempted to teach Red how to cook, but Red pretends not to understand so Green will keep making him food. Green knows Red is faking it and doesn’t call him out bc he thinks it’s cute

unpopular opinion

look i’ve played through classic red version a few times and when i say he wasn’t that much of a jerk, i do genuinely mean he was not that much of a jerk. he’s like ten. ten year olds are just Like That. i guess this isn’t too unpopular anymore but it was Back In The Day and in some parts of the fandom he’s still seen as a jerk and like Bro He Is Ten In RGB/FRLG cut him some slack

also genuinely unpopular - Green is taller than Red. i know namelessshipping has fallen into the bara Red and twink Green trope but i refuse to let go of tall Green/short Red fuckin fight me why dont you

song i associate with them

a lot of the Pray For The Wicked album by Panic! at the Disco gives me Green vibes, more for the sound than for lyrics necessarily, but for some reason Roaring 20s just like. has the sound of Green to me. it’s somewhere between flamboyant pride and underlying insecurity that i think really encapsulates Green (or at least his subtext)

favorite picture of them

i genuinely love his let’s go concept art he’s such a sweet good boy?? 

and for the life of me i cannot find the op source on this but this is my fave pic of Green/namelessshipping in general that i’ve had saved since like 2012 maybe???

yeah if anyone can help me source that i’d appreciate it bc reverse image search only brings me to pinterest and random wattpad links :/

update: source seems to be the artist くる (pixiv id=982894) on pixiv, even though the original post got taken down (ty anon!)

Lillie

favorite thing about them

by now i guess you know im a sucker for character development, but i think they did a really good job with her!! i feel like her turn is a bit more in moments than it is with Green, who gradually evolves (lol) over the course of Kanto/all the gens overall. you see more discrete moments where Lillie starts to shift and gain confidence in herself and i am so proud of her ???? like the way she gets excited when she sees Olivia doin’ her z-move stuff, she starts buying her own clothes and getting ahead of you, etc etc

and like, she still has moments where she’s scared, there’s still some fundamental Lillie in there yknow? you don’t lose any of that softness that characterizes Lillie, she just like… she gets better, she develops without losing her Lillie vibe and i love that abt her. she overcomes a lot of the shit she had to deal with when she was stuck with Lusamine, she stands up to Lusamine eventually, and ghfdkjsg gah she’s a sweet gorl i love and appreciate her

also like. the writing on her backstory is so subtle in-universe. like yeah she literally looks like Lusamine’s daughter and you see her in the opening cutscene leaving Aether, but as the protagonist - like as Selene lets say, there’s little hints about where Lillie came from, and if you suspend your disbelief and put yourself in the pc’s shoes, there’s subtly to her character arc that i like 

also like. when she changes her outfit and starts being more protagonist-y, like more confident and kinda bubbly instead of shy??? love that shit it’s so cute can i have custody of this child pls

least favorite thing about them

i like. sometimes feel like she’s too soft of a character for me to really get into? like i love her and Hau, they’re sweet good friends, but i tend to personally gravitate towards characters that create a little more tension (ie Green and N)

(though on that note, Hau can be kinda savage. he just calls Faba out and sarcastically calls Gladion “a ray of sunshine” at some point i think?? Lillie is just very tender and i will support her forever, but i think that also makes her almost too soft to keep me fixated on her yknow. it’s not even a flaw in her character but just not something i fawn over as much)

favorite line

“I’m so glad I got to meet everyone. I’m so glad I got to meet you.”

like that ending kills me but that line almost feels like. I Feel That So Much like i feel so happy to have met all these new characters and to have played these games, and i feel like some of the player’s energy and enjoyment of the game is channeled into this last line of hers 

also GET IN THE BAG

brOTP

probably her and Hau?? idk, i don’t have a specific brotp for her but i like her just hangin around w the other Alola kids, so like her, Hau, Gladion, and the protag kids. they’d raise hell together and Lillie continues to be the only one with some impulse control

(Gladion also has some impulse control but keeps getting annoyed by Hau and so he gets dragged into their nonsense anyway)

OTP

Selene and Lillie is. Good. idk what the ship name is but it’s canon

nOTP

i dont even know if people ship her with Gladion but incest is a big no-no in my house

random headcanon

when she goes to Kanto, i bet she’d pick Bulbasaur as a starter if she was given the opportunity - and if not, she’d probably catch a wild Vulpix 

unpopular opinion

idk if have any unpopular opinions for her?? 

song i associate with them

i have no reason to associate this with her but the Rainy Day theme from acgc just. has a vibe about it. i think a lot of ac music feels like it suits her

favorite picture of them

i found this art of her through a lofi remix of her theme awhile back and it’s so pleasing to look at? her hair is nice and the colors are so warm n happy gjhkfdgf

if you read this far, congratulations!!! and i’m sorry

#thank u for asking again and i'm sorry this took so long and *is* so long lol #sterling content #Anonymous

kink ship

ooooo okie

you didn’t really give a lot to go off of so I’m going to assume you’re a little? and you didn’t give me any groups that you’d like so I’m just going to give you some people that I think personally would be into it.

I don’t think I need to tell you that there's a difference between having a daddy kink and being into dd/lg or ageplay. there's a whole hecc of a lot of people in kpop that I think would like to be called daddy just as like,, a kinky name? there's fewer that I think would be into ageplay.

I’m a little also and I tend to bias people who give off the daddy vibe so I’m going to try not to be too biased.

The first person that comes to mind when I think of a Kpop idol who’d be into DD/LG is Mr. Bang Chan from Stray Kids. Chris is a natural born leader,  we can all see that,  and I personally think he’s quite dominant... but he’s also incredibly caring. I’ve seen the daddy in him since the start boi, he radiates the energy. He’s very much a soft daddy. Like is so whipped for you, will do anything for you. But he will not tolerate bratty behavior. type of daddy that he can click his fingers and he has your attention. will deliver on punishments if needs be but in general is just the biggest softie. throws compliments at you. a lil protective, but not anything crazy. I feel like Chris would find being a daddy very rewarding and good stress relief. (I’ll go into detail on this in a separate post if people would like)

Chris seems like one of the kinkier members of Skiz but I think he’s the only one that’d be a daddy. he’d really enjoy having a submissive and would really enjoy having a little. has a kink for the contrast between pretty pink lingerie and the constant black that he dresses in. finds your childlike innocence so fucking sweet. sit on his lap please he loves it. calls you small and tiny and kisses your cheek. if you like to do sexual stuff while in little space, he’ll take such good care of you. so vocal. talks you through it the entire time. tells you how good you’re making daddy feel and how much of a good girl/boy you are. beg him to fill you up please he’ll nut on the spot. loves how the word ‘daddy’ falls out of that cute little mouth of yours. lives to see that fucked out expression. presses his forehead against yours when he’s close and finally gives you permission to come. “Come on babygirl,” He breathes, voice low and hushed. He shudders at the little moan that leaves your throat when you hear the pet name. “Come on, come for daddy.”

Okay, this person is a lil different because I consider them,,, a mommy,,, but they’re a guy.

Yoon Jeonghan from SEVENTEEN owns my ass and he ain’t even my bias. I didn’t really do this on purpose, I just looked at Jeonghan during Getting Closer and I was just like. yes. mommy. step on me. I’ve been suffering ever since. IDEK WHY NOW IVE STANNED THEM FOR A YEAR NOW. The only thing to do with Mommy!Jeonghan I can find on AO3 or Tumblr is one small drabble but there was no smut and I need pls I’m dying. maybe I’ll write it myself in a while.

Anyway. Hani is a whole ass dom, don’t @ me. He also seems to genuinely like being the mother of the group. We’ve seen him with Dino. Hani needs attention and love and I feel like ageplay is the perfect way to get that for him. He’d adore taking care of someone and then showering them with love, take!naps!with!him!please! High key has a praise kink. Tell him how pretty he is and he’s yours. so soft for you. forehead kisses. really likes how you look in white. The color of innocence and purity. You’re gonna be spoiled tbh. Buys you whatever the hell you want cuz he lives to see you smile.(a lot of lingerie) Calls you sweetheart and kisses your nose.

this boy is all mouth. he’s a lil bit overprotective sometimes so you can guarantee you always have at least one very visible mark marking some part of your skin. just so people definitely know that you’re his. owns the title of mommy so well. like literally doesn’t fucking care what people say about it. he knows he’s your mommy and a fucking good one at that. 

satan. boi is in to overstim so like,,, buckle up. again, the boys all mouth. loves to taste you and makes damn sure you come against his tongue at least once before he takes you. needs to be close to you, when he does. feel your skin on his. praise. constant mutterings in your ear about how “you’re taking mommy so well.” and how pretty you look, just for him. Not terribly vocal. Mainly just little mumbles of praise and some groans. Bites your shoulder when he comes. Doesn’t really matter if he finishes before you cuz every single time he’ll lay down and tell you to sit on mommy’s face. A generous lover.

ya YEET.

DAY6 GRAVITY in JAKARTA // 30.11.2019

OH. MY. GOSH.

Best concert ever. Period.

I just wanted to share with you guys about my experience going to GRAVITYinJKT, it was truly amazing that I still suffer from my PCD until now. It’s not that severe but believe me, whenever I heard Best Part playing accidentally on my playlist I would go sksdkddjs and try hard not to scream lmao.

So, first of all, I will tell you the background story of why I chose to attend their concert. Well, it was because I’m very curious how cool is their live performance. I watched a lot of YT videos about them and read many MyDay (and non-MyDay)’s comments about seeing their live performance. At the same time, I have just joined the fandom and falling in love with their songs day-by-day. I’m still a 5-months old baby MyDay now hehe.

When I saw their tour announcement on Twitter, at first I was like ‘oh wow they’ll go on their 2nd world tour’ but then idek why I was willing to go and watch them. Really, my decision was out of the blue. Then I introduced DAY6 to one of my close friends by watching their videos on her YT lol. Initially, she said that the songs are good and catchy, but some days later she texted me that she watched DAY6′s MVs, her bias is YoungK, and she even listened to their songs regularly. I was surprised, and even more shooketh when she finally said “you said that you wanna go to their concert, right? let’s go to their concert, shall we?”

The night before departure to JKT

On Thursday night (November 28th), I read on Twitter that the boys had arrived at Jakarta. My heart was beating so fast, remembering that tomorrow I will go to Jakarta and on Saturday I’ll see them.

Departure to JKT

After the whole stressing weeks (yes November was that month), on November 29th me and my friend flew to Jakarta by plane. My friends who knew that I’ll watch DAY6 said have fun and gave their warmest greetings to DAY6. Around 5 pm, we reached Jakarta and head off to our hotel.

D-DAY GRAVITYinJKT

We woke up at 6.30 am (if I’m not mistaken lol), respectively took a shower, applied make-ups and did our hair nicely even though no one would look at us haha. Afterward, we checked our belongings and went to the venue to get our wristbands. At the venue, we finally met our senior from college and she introduced another senior from my college that just graduated. We greet each other and stick together until we got our wristbands and went to get lunch at the nearest mall.

Around 2.45 pm, the three of us got back from the mall and entered the gate to take our queue number. Why only three of us that went back? Bcs the other one was from the yellow section, and at the mall, we met our junior from college that also watch DAY6 in the yellow section. With that, she decided to went back with my junior when the gate is opened for their section. (the three of us were from the blue b section)

After we got our queue number, we queued for the photo spot and made friends with 3 MyDays. They were chill and fun to talk to, and our queue numbers were in sequence. By that, we decided to always stick together until the end of the concert and didn’t forget to follow each other’s social media accounts. While waiting, it was raining so hard. Until finally my section got to enter the venue first, and I was really excited.

6 of us stood in front of the extended stage and we were standing beside each other. When the time strikes 6.57, the opening VCR played and every MyDay screamed. The moving screen opened and there stood five men, holding their own instruments, that I’ve been waiting to see for 3 months. Best Part opened the concert, and I couldn’t do anything besides screaming, literally. I love the song.

I jumped freely and sang their songs on top of my lungs like I have nothing to worry about. I remembered Jae saying that we should take our stress off our life first when we attend their concert to enjoy the whole event, so I kept that in mind throughout the concert.

Until when it came to them performing on extended stage, I couldn’t stop saying ‘oh gosh’ when they walked towards it. And what made me even happier was, 

Jae noticed me.

Yes.

Park Jae-hyung from DAY6 noticed me.

However, I forgot to record it bcs it was so sudden :”””). Jae was squatting in the extended stage to greet MyDays, and when his eyes were locked with mine, I immediately waved my right hand at him and said ‘Jae, hi!’ while smiling so wide. Jae smiled back and waved his hands at me, I still remember him mouthing ‘hi hello’ and I couldn’t stop smiling. After he mouthed ‘hi hello’ and waved at me, he waved at other MyDays.

It was beyond my expectations that DAY6 is so kind to MyDays and their performance was sooo amazing to witness. I cried when YoungK said this on his ment,

“Honestly, with that much energy, I think you -- each one of you -- will be able to achieve whatever you want. Whatever you want in life.”

Literally, I choked up and couldn’t hold my tears. Remembering that before I came to see them, they’re my motivation to do well in college, until now they still are. Then he told us to made a pinky promise with him, he said:

“Even though I said this a lot, please promise me to always be happy and stay healthy until we meet again.”

Anddd my tears were back again when Sungjin said this on his ment,

“I trust you guys, so you guys trust yourself. Bahagia dan sehat selalu, ya.” (= always be happy and healthy, okay.)

I truly felt the sincerity in their ments, but mostly YoungK and Sungjin’s that hit my heart the hardest. What made me happier was when Wonpil suggested MyDay to sing, he said that he got two songs in mind but he forgot the lyrics so he played the notes. Guess what? He played When You Love Someone first, and the second is I Smile. YoungK asked MyDays what song that we wanted to sing first. 

Since I Smile is my most favorite, I energetically waved 2 fingers and saw that other MyDays were waving their 2 fingers too. YoungK said "I see a lot of peace signs *chuckling* okay then, number 2 it is!" so Wonpil started the song immediately. After singing I Smile, he played When You Love Someone. My friend aww-ed, bcs that is her favorite song.

Even Wonpil tricked MyDays with singing JYP’s You’re The One, but we still sang it anyway. Then after he said he was joking, he started out I’m Serious. MyDays singing it with him. At the beginning, they were saying let’s make tonight a festival, and it was really a festival.

If I describe how they are when seen in person... Jae, he was lanky and he has that cute baby face, Sungjin looked handsome + dashing and he’s funny omg, YoungK is what Indonesian MyDays called gembul, which means chubby in a cute way, and his smile is so captivating!

Wonpil is indeed looked like a prince, he’s that soft and uwu, and his solo stage is my #1 among the 5 solo stages. Dowoon? He! Babie! He’s so adorable I can’t, when he sang on Wanna Go Back and Get Lucky I can’t stop squealing over his voice like for real. When he talked also screams uwu, I laughed when he fist-bumped YoungK and said “come on, come on, hit the beat” >.<

After the concert, the promotor prepared freebies for us, that is, a DAY6 postcard. I got YoungK originally, then my friend found a MyDay who willed to exchange her Dowoon postcard for my YoungK postcard. (...you know who my heart belongs to guys hahaha)

I had a lot of fun at the concert. Even though I cried when I saw on the D2 of the concert the boys went down from the stage (yeah I’m such a crybaby bcs of that lol), I still feel grateful and happy bcs I went to see them. 

Sometimes it’s true, experience is a lot more worthy than anything else. If you miss a valuable opportunity (when in fact you can achieve it), the next opportunity may be different from what you expect. We can’t predict what will happen in our future, right?

If you guys were asking me, did you ever feel any regret about choosing to go to DAY6′s concert? The answer is: no, absolutely not. I’m proud that I can afford myself a ticket and accommodation with my own savings. Also, I’m sooo glad that I joined the MyDay fandom, this fandom is literally filled with kind people and they’re fun to be with.

And if you guys were also asking me, will you attend their next concert? The answer is: yes, certainly, without a doubt.

——————————

The sun was glistening against the light drops of rain falling from the blue aura sky with white and gray fluffy cotton floating lazily over Duckburg.

A car steered into a certain young teen lady ducks drive way, slowing to a stop in front of the blond girls fence. Shelly bit her bottom beak as she went over the thoughts in her head.

Huey invited her to go mini golfing with him. Just her and him. It was awkward to say the least. They still had a good time even though the air was thick.

The days leading up to this they would get teased by the others calling it a date when they would correct that it was ‘just a hang out’. They didn’t want to think of it as a date, they were just friends. Shelly knew that Huey liked her as much as she like him. Unsurprisingly, he wasn’t the one that told her; Dewey spilled the beans a few days before a homecoming dance they went to together. Huey couldn’t get a date- he tried to, but the girl turned him down. She didn’t understand how some girl could just reject him so cruelly.

Shaking her head, she fluttered her eyes, pushing a piece of her silky hair behind her ear. Her checks were already starting to tingle, “Wait here!”

Huey gave her a questioning look as she hopped out the front seat onto the cement. He watched as her hair swayed wildly as she ran through her opened garage.

Making sure she wasn’t seen she hugged herself. She was so glad she was finally out of that car. It’s not that she didn’t trust Huey’s driving skills-HEH- Huey’s like the safest person she’s ever met; after his Uncle that is. She just didn’t have good experiences with cars. Her parents nagged her on and on about her finally driving, she was 16 now, they wanted her driving soon. Her dad was still cautious about money, though. Getting in a few wrecks didn’t just worry her about driving, but made her terrified about sitting in the front seat! She rarely sat up there anymore, unless with her dad on rare occasions. But if someone suggested the front seat for her, she’d smile sheepishly, denying their offer as she scrambled to the back. It’s a good thing Huey could drive, because she surly wasn’t going to. Her parents fussed her just for sitting in the back when they were heading out.

Luckily, Huey being the understanding best friend he was, didn’t mind at all. He was the only one that knew other then her parents, after all. He even told her that she didn’t have to sit in the front on the way back, but she had no choice or her parents would punish her for being such a coward.

Sighing, she grabbed the keys to her moms van, sneaking money to pay back Huey from earlier. She was so red earlier that it took her until they got their to admit she forgot money. Her plan was to split it. But beating her to the punch, Huey chuckled saying that he already planned to pay for her anyway. She knew Huey would be stubborn to receive money back, but she hated getting things without giving in return. So grabbing the money out of her mom’s van, and crunching it in her sweaty palms she left the door opened with the keys on the seat, walking back up to his car.

It was starting to rain a bit harder, so being without an umbrella, she ignored it. A little rain never killed anyone. She used her finger to tap on his window as he rolled it down. His eyes widened as she outstretched her arm for him to take the money.

“Here.” She breathed, “It’s not much, but I felt bad for earlier...” she trailed off, smiling shyly at him.

He couldn’t help but let a smile lose as he rolled up his window, shaking his head. She scoffed, smirking.

“Huey Duck! Take the money please.” She knocked on the window once more.

He kept laughing as he shook his head, “I told you my deal. I paid for you, and I don’t want anything in return.” He was muffled, but she could hear his fast talking clear as day.

If he wanted to be stubborn, fine...she could play stubborn too. She smirked, opening his door to his surprise as rain started to poor harder and hit the inside of his car. She was already pretty soaked and her feathers were ruffled while her golden hair was soaked.

She threw the money inside his truck as she giggled, slamming the door as his foot stopped it he chased back after her, with the money in his hands. She ran underneath the garage, a puddle forming underneath her.

He saw her mother’s car door still opened and set the damp money back in on the wet seat. He gave her the keys that were left on the seat, closing the door. He turned around smirking only to see the girl holding back laughter as she pointed to his car. One dollar bill was still hanging out, getting just as soaked as them.

His face burned in embarrassment, as he stomped on over to collect the bill, stomping back over to her. He tried handing her the bill, but she didn’t even try reaching for it. She bit her beak, half smiling and shaking her head innocently.

The girl watched as he set the bill on her father’s working table. She folded her arms, rolling her eyes playfully.

They just stood their staring at each other. He couldn’t keep a straight face, suddenly bursting into laughter as she joined in. Their eyes teared up as they began staring at each other once more. The world fading behind them.

But sadly coming back to earth, Huey stuck out his fist. She blinked, which formed into a soft smile as she chuckled, fist bumping him awkwardly back.

She watched him as he ran back to his car through the rain. She chuckled to herself as she could hear the many questions his brothers, Webby, and Lena were going to ask coming in soaked like he was.

————————

The girl flopped on her bed, closing her eyes as she hummed to herself repeating over and over again on the moments of that day.

Her head shot up as she heard a buzz coming from her phone. Rolling onto her stomach, she played with her knotty wet hair as she read the text.

She bit the inside of her check.

Huey: Thanks for playing golf with me, Shell. I thought it was pretty fun. I hope you had fun, too. You did a lot better then me though.(enter laughing emojis here)

She smirked, ignoring her heart beating a mile a minute.

Shelly: I think we did an equal amount of okness! (Enter a laughing emoji here)

She giggled.

Shelly: And it was fun! Thx!

Just as she was about to set her phone down, it buzzed in her hand once more.

Huey: Anytime!

Her heart wasn’t prepared for what was coming her way.

Huey: Hey, by the way, I hope this doesn’t weird you out, but I’ve been wanting to hang out with you because I really like you. I wanted to tell you that. I’m sorry if that weirds you out... (enter a sweating nervous/sad emoji)

Was her heart still beating? She felt her face heat up, as her stomach was doing backflips. She’s waited so long for him to admit and...he finally has and she didn’t know what to do with herself.

Licking her lips nervously, she breathed in a shaky breath, answering him back.

Shelly: That doesn’t weird me out at all, I like you too!

She breathed out, gasping for air. Oh she didn’t know how she was going to face him tomorrow. She didn’t even know if she wanted to squeal, jump around, or weep happily. Her emotions were everywhere.

“If only he knew how much I liked him, and how long I have been in love with him...”

Laying on her back, with her phone on her stomach, she sighed to herself, “Tomorrow’s going to be a new day, indeed...” she covered her face with her arm, as her heart fluttered, a tiny smile started to slip through.

“Maybe life won’t be so scary after all?...”

[scum-belina]

Aight, since you're on such a movie binge lately, and since I usually love your recommendations, what are your top 10 movies?

Upon being asked this nearly 48 hours ago, my brain, despite having watched probably 1000 movies of all different genres and from multiple countries was like "the only movies you can remember is shrek 1 2 and 3" but after digging through my memory I THINK I have managed to find some of my top favorites movies. My favorites are defined solely on how much they managed to impact me and inspire me so here we go in no particular order!

1. “The Best Offer” (2013) by Giuseppe Tornatore. This is the most recent film I’ve seen and is by far one of my all-time favorites. It is at least 96% of everything I’ve ever wanted in a movie and I’m still reeling from the borderline perfection of the whole thing. Unsurprisingly I got interested in it bc of the older man/ younger woman thing, but nothing about their relationship development was cliche or shallow, so much so that it pleasantly surprised me, and then threw me through 25000 emotional roller coasters that were also on fire. It’s a drama, romance, comedy, mystery, thriller, and tragedy without being an absolute mess and idk if I will ever get over it I love it so much.

2. “Melancholia” (2011) by Lars Von Trier. A film that portrays severe depression through an apocalyptic metaphor and actually manages to skillfully get away with it. I love this movie as much as I hate it for being so raw and painful yet beautiful at the same time. Everyone in this is great but Kirsten Dunst truly is a formidable actress. This is the only LVT film I’ve fully enjoyed also bc all of his others have too much of a pretentious assholeishness to them and he just tries too damn hard to be edgy and it wastes the entire storyline. 

3. “The Phantom Of the Opera” (2004) by Joel Schumacher. A classic in every respect of the word. It’s got the twisted love tale that I’m an eternal sucker for PLUS they burst out into song abt such matters all the time??? LOVES IT. Everyone with even the slightest taste for the dramatic should watch it at least once.

4. “The Red Violin” (1998) By  François Girard. I Don’t even know how to describe this film. I just remember it from my childhood bc my dad was fascinated by it and I was too. It has an entirely foreign, mostly Italian cast which makes it somehow feel like even more of an authentic story. It really helped shaped me to realize just how important music and musical instruments are to humanity and how they are another way to express our innermost thoughts and feelings.

5. Moulin Rouge! (2001) by Baz Lurhmann. I will NEVER forget the first time I saw this. I was around 7 or 8 and my parents had rented it from blockbuster, and all 3 of us watched it in awe. Baz Lurhmann is nothing but a genius the way he integrated multiple modern songs into this musical and they FIT. The moulin rouge version of “Roxanne” knocks the original by The Police out of the park, out of the world, and out into another dimension. And then the original songs like “come what may” are all 10/10. It’s theatrical, it’s romantic, it’s funny, it’s tragic. Those are the 4 things that almost always cause me to love a movie. Also Ewan McGregor is absurdly hot in it and HIS SINGING  VOICE??? HHHHHOOOOOOO BBBBOOOOOYYYYYYYYY

6. “Phantom Thread” (2017) by Paul Thomas Anderson. I’m not gonna lie, I hopped onto this movie solely bc of the older man/younger woman romance theme that I am always a slut for, but much like The Best Offer it was SO MUCH more like??? This isn’t even about their age it’s about who THEY ARE and their differences yet their love for each other  and how can they balance their lives, who THEY ARE without hating one another as much as they love one another??? BOY I LOVE THAT TORTURED LOVE. This movie was almost NOTHING of what I expected from it and I loved every surprise it gave me. 

7. “Perfume: The Story of a Murderer” (2006)  by Tom Tykwer. Idek WHAT to say about this film other than it’s so good!!! It’s so fucked up!!! I’M so fucked up!!! I love it so much!!! You know how me be!!! Love that nasty artsy badness!!! Go watch it and then message me asking me what the fuck is wrong with me!!!

8. “V for Vendetta” (2005) by James McTeigue. I know this movie has been overhyped at times, but it truly is incredible. Both the left and right seem to claim this movie as their own, but my libertarian ass just loves it for its anti-tyranny theme and ofc for the development of Evey and V’s relationship. It’s definitely worth at least one watch. 

9. Pirates of the Caribbean (2003-2007 so only the original trilogy bc those are the only ones that really exist and matter ok) by Gore Verbinski. I was around 9-10 when I saw the first potc, and it changed me and inspired me for life. Immediately I found Elizabeth Swann so relatable not just bc we have the same first name, but because she had the same intense desire for freedom and adventure as I had/ still do tbh. She liked the “bad guys” and wanted to be one of them and ultimately became “King” of them without sacrificing her own femininity and OHHH I LOVE THAT. The original potc trilogy has the perfect blend of adventure, fantasy, horror, and romance for me (although I will always wish Elizabeth had ended up with Jack in the end I will DIE for this ship).Mind you, The Mummy (1999) Came EXTREMELY close to taking potc’s place, but the mummy never managed to make a good or even rewatchable trilogy like potc did so potc wins this.

10. This is Spinal Tap (1984) by Rob Reiner. The only complete comedy on this list, I cannot even begin to describe how genius this film is. I have watched it so many times since childhood and I STILL find new jokes in it that I had never noticed before. Anyone who has had even the slightest bit of an interest in music should find this hilarious. The Stonehenge mishap scene alone makes this one of the greatest comedies of all time.

These are some of the few that I’ve been able to come back to mind from memory rn but I’m sure I’ll think of other faves later. but all of these are some definite top  faves of mine that impho (in my personal humble/horny opinion) everyone should watch at least once

[grandpa-berty]

So I decided to make a oneshot based off @amazingsam9's AU.

-------

Aksel looked at the clock tower. It showed the time to be a quarter to six. Excellent. It was getting dark, and the market was starting to close.

The perfect time for him to pick up some leftovers.

Hiding in the alleyway wearing a tattered hooded cloak over his threadbare linen shirt and the leather jeans his mother had just today darned for him.

That was the main reason he was out today. He couldn't simply let his mother give him something she spent so much money and time on, and not give something back. No way. That was a far bigger crime than taking a few things the market stalls were likely to just throw away anyways. Even if it was just a loaf of today's bread.

But, to his joy, the alleyway he had chosen to hide in stood close to a jewelry stall. The fake emerald necklace hanging from the hook would look beautiful around his mother's neck. And because they lived in a village ten miles away from this town, Aksel's deed would not be discovered if his mother was seen walking around in that village.

That was partially the reason he went to far away to steal. He had memorized the horse-and-cart merchant's time of departure from his village to this town, and always travelled hidden in the back under flour bags without being detected. The clacking of the wheels over the uneven terrain made more noise than Aksel could if he yelled as loud as he could. After they stopped in the town, the merchant would enter the trader's store, and leave the cart unattended, allowing Aksel to slip out and head into the town undetected. And when he knew a merchant was going to depart for his village, the ordeal would happen over again. It was a quick way to enter the town and not get tracked, and it also improved his sense of alertness and stealth.

The necklace was obviously glass. It looked as though Aksel could shatter it with one delicate pinch. But that didn't make it any less beautiful. And the stall owner's back was turned, making a deal with a neighbouring stall owner.

It was perhaps dangerous to try and steal what probably cost a lot (these types of people would often charge thousands for a fake previous gem accessory, because they could normally get away with stupid rich people believing it was real) in a crowded place, but if he was quick, he could dart out and in before anyone had chance to turn in his direction.

So he took the chance, the chance he had while the stall owner was still chatting.

He sprinted, targeting the necklace. He needed to be able to grab it on his first try, no mistakes were to be made.

It was quick, easy... almost too easy. The necklace slipped off the hook in his grasp, and he was running back to the alleyway, his bare feet making little to no noise.

He didn't stop when in the shadows. He fled down the maze of gaps between the houses, tucking the necklace around his neck beneath the hood. The merchant's cart was about to leave, but he had one last place to stop off.

His hiding spot.

Deciding to walk now, wary of any broken glass down the alley after some men's drunk night out, Aksel headed to the area he marked with a charcoal he found outside of somebody's house, and knelt down to grab the loose brick that concealed his carefully-wrapped loaf of two-day-old bread, and some firewood.

But before he could get his fingers atound the grimy brick, a hand suddenly clamped over his mouth, and he was yanked into a seating position on the ground, and felt a sharp weapon dully against his throat.

He didn't shout. If he was going to get arrested, he didn't want to make a scene in the process.

"I thought understood why you were doing it at first, but now you've drawn the line, buddy," a voice muttered in his ear.

Aksel stiffened. "Doing what?" he asked, his voice muffled behind the stranger's hand, feeling only his heart pounding against his chest as he looked down at the sword against his neck.

But it wasn't a guard's sword.

It wasn't a sword at all.

It was a long, heavy-looking dagger made of iron. It was a bit dented in some areas, but still in decent condition to slit his throat if the owner desired.

"You read the Bible, man?" the stranger asked. He sounded quite young, mid to late teens, perhaps. But that wasn't enough to decipher whether or not Aksel could attack. "Huh? Got a single brain in your head that is able to read? You know the quote in there, eh? 'Thou shalt not steal'. Seems a bit of a one-way ticket to Hell to go against the Lord for such a thing as a precious stone necklace, wouldn't you say?"

"Look, I'm not religious, and I'm not here to listen to a goddamn preacher," Aksel snarled, pulling the stranger's hand away from his mouth so he could talk properly. The dagger dug deeper into his throat, and Aksel's heart leapt, but the stranger continued to talk, tightening his grip over Aksel's shoulder instead.

"Fearless of God, eh? Can respect that. I can also respect you stealing food and firewood when the snobs who live here have way too much of it and you have the bare minimum. But... I dunno, stealing an emerald necklace seems a bit of a dickish move, if you ask me. I'm doubtful you can eat that or use if for firewood."

"If you were to have looked a little closer, you may have noticed it's actually glass!"

The stranger went silent. Aksel wanted to turn his head to look at the boy, but he was still wary of the dagger at his throat, so he stayed put.

"Wait, you serious?" the stranger asked.

Aksel laughed unashamedly. "Yes, you moron! What makes you think people would display real fucking emeralds on an open market stall?"

The stranger went silent again. Aksel expected him to ask for it, but it seemed he was smarter than most.

"So who are you anyways?" asked Aksel. "And if you knew I'd stolen before, why didn't you turn me into the authorities?"

The stranger continued to stay silent for a few seconds more, then sighed.

"They call me Quackity," the man said. "And I didn't turn you in because I didn't see the point. Unlike most in this town, I actually know a starving man when I see one."

Aksel barely heard the rest of the stranger's sentence. He was only fixated on one word.

"Quackity?" he repeated. "You mean the guy who's been trained to steal from libbies, key word: steal?"

"How did you know that?" Quackity demanded, though didn't push the dagger any further into Aksel's throat. He probably realize if he dug any further, the blade would penetrate Aksel's skin.

"Heard it from a band of thieves I joined a while back," Aksel explained. "You seem quite well-respected in the thieving community." Forgetting his caution, he twisted his head around to grin at the stranger. "Pretty ironic, wouldn't you say?"

Quackity frowned. He had a boyish face and dark hair that was tucked underneath a woollen hat, and wore a horse-hide jacket over a smart-looking white shirt, and a sort of tough fabric pair of trousers.

They weren't rich clothes, but they weren't poor ones either.

"All right, all right," Quackity sighed. "I do often steal information from the libbies, and sell them to... someone. But... but it's necessary! It could help us win the war against them!"

"And it gives you good money, I expect," said Aksel bitterly.

"Hell, I wish. The amount of trouble that goes into it. It probably makes me two or three gold doles a scroll."

"Which could feed my family for two months."

Quackity sighed. "I'm not going into detail about why I need money. I've gotta get off. Now, hand over that necklace and save us both the trouble of going to the authorities."

"No," said Aksel sternly. "It's for my mother. It's the one time I've ever been able to give her something nice, and I'm not letting it go for some rich-ass bounty-collector."

It was Quackity's turn to laugh. "Rich... yeah. That's exactly why I'm doing these 'bounties' in the first place. All right. I respect you want to treat your mum. Hell, if I could I would myself. But let's make this a first-time free deal. Next time I see you with some unnecessary treat, you're paying for it or it's off to the authorities. Also, fix your attitude, man."

"Thanks, man. I feel real privileged," snapped Aksel, pushing Quackity off him and standing up. "Now, thanks to your bullshit I've probably missed my ride home. So thanks for that, too." Enraged, Aksel threw the brick concealing his goods aside, hoping to "accidentally" hit Quackity, but knew he'd probably miss. He gathered his bread and firewood, and replaced the brick, all while Quackity was watching him, not saying a word.

"And no, I won't fix my attitude. I know it's surprising, but I'm normally quite friendly. That is, to people who I like. Have a good night, Quackity," snapped Aksel, barging past Quackity.

"Yeah, you too, uh... what's your name, sorry?"

"It's Aksel, not that it's any of your business."

"Right. Bye, Aksel."

Aksel ran down the alleyway, not knowing quite why he was so angry.

Yes he did. Quackity's presence meant he had to constantly be on guard if he wanted to come back here.

Meaning he had to go to a new town if he wanted to feed the family.

"Rich... yeah. That's exactly why I'm doing these 'bounties' in the first place." My ass!

He had no reason to think Quackity was rich and pretending not to be. It just made him feel better.

He hated rich people.

And he sure as hell knew if he saw Quackity again, it would be for the last time.

----------

Lol idek if I managed to capture either Quackity's or Aksel's personality in this. Guess the main problem was it's difficult to imagine them genuinely hating each other. But hey, the maker of this epic-looking AU said they did, so uh... I did my best. :D
