i don’t like my mind.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
part of the “now playing: mitski!” series
SUMMARY: there was nothing you could’ve said to him to keep hyunjin away from his thoughts. Not on the night of March 20, 2021.
WC: 0.675k
CW: mentions of vomiting, it’s really short but angsty, hyunjin’s hiatus in 2021 is the main plot. (as an oddinary era stay, i can’t grasp how it must’ve felt, so i’m sorry for bringing old memories back. </3)
A/N: ok, shit. as an empath, this was hard to write. talk about a challenge… uf. I’m sorry. please go check out my other works, i am not this depressing in default i swear 😭🫶
[◼️☆🎂☆◼️]
Hyunjin shivered, as he stared blankly at his phone.
The date glowed back, as if mocking him.
“19:54, March 20, 2021.”
It should’ve been a fairly normal late evening for him. But it couldn’t.
Normal had never been a word that he’d use often, but considering his usual routine, no one would’ve called that ‘normal.’
Except that it wasn’t going to be his routine anymore. He sighed.
His room felt colder than usual. He felt colder than usual.
Hyunjin nuzzled the blanket over his nose, and cocooned himself further under it.
He stared at the window, the curtains swaying from the wind that came from outside, but he didn’t mind it. He knew that he was cold because the window was open, but deep inside, he knew that closing it wouldn’t fix his coldness. Or how he felt and empty feeling inside of him, as if it was stuck to his heart.
The blanket wasn’t helping. He kicked it off with a grunt.
Then, his phone chimed. It had been chiming the past five minutes. Maybe ten.
< princess: hyunjin, please
His heart swelled in his chest.
< princess: talk to me, jinnie
< princess: I need to know you’re fine.
He only managed to chuckle dryly, a laugh full of acid, almost poisonus, and that sick feeling scattered all through his body.
...fine?
How could he be fine, knowing that most likely, his life was never going to be the same? How could he be fine, thinking that it could be possible that he really had wasted all of those years for nothing?
He closed his eyes.
Several people had texted him ‘happy birthday,’ but none of them new what it was going to be like.
Painful.
It was like daggers that threatened to puncture his heart and leave him bleeding on the floor, the only culprit being himself and whoever thought it was a good idea to leave him alone in his room, with his thoughts as his only company.
He frowned, and dizzily stood up from his bed, his body hurting from all the stress he had been putting himself to. In his mind, he had to be doing something. He wanted to do something. He didn’t want to keep waiting for the fuss to leave him. He wanted to keep dancing. To keep singing.
He needed to keep living.
The sight of his desk table gave him nausea. He grimmaced at it, his eyes swelling up with tears again.
Cake.
The one Jeongin and Felix had bringed hours ago. The one that they reluctantly admitted that they weren’t supposed to eat because of their restricted diets. The one that they had to leave there just the two of them because the rest of the members had so many things to do that they couldn’t manage to pass by.
The one he hadn’t dared to touch, afraid that it wouldn’t go pass the lump on his throat.
It stared at him. The whole cake. It made a nasty shiver trail up his spine, a sudden need to throw up that made him even more sick.
A stray tear fell down his cheek.
He took the cake with a sudden softness that almost surprised him.
His phone kept buzzing, forgotten, on his bed.
< princess: i’m sure the company will let you come back with them soon
< princess: hyunjin, please
< princess: call me when you see this
< princess: please, hyun, don’t do anything stupid.
< princess: I love you.
But not even your kind words could go through Hyunjin’s mind.
He approached the window and looked down from the fifth floor, finding a trash container next to the building in front.
With a groan, he stared at the cake, at the message over it.
“Happy birthday!”
He sniffed, quickly cleaning his tears up with one hand, as both of them trembled, the other still holding the cake.
And he threw it to the container, watching it crash against its lid despite the plastic cover.
He didn’t want to have a happy birthday.
He wanted his life back.
[◼️☆🎂☆◼️]
~Kats, who is so sorry for this, and who admires all of the stays who had to go through hyun’s hiatus.

i’m not saying anything new but this aoty win feels so special to me?? no part of her was expecting it and it was simply an icing on the cake on top of getting to do what she loves and connect with so many people in doing so. in 2016 she wanted it more than anything else and in 2021 she was long overdue after being shut out of the grammys for 5 years but this year felt so calm and low stakes to me. like she knows she doesn’t need an award to solidify everything she’s built and i’m so happy she’s gotten to this place

Good day Yuurei-San!
I wanted to ask why there is Christmas in TWST if Twisted Jesus is not a thing? Probably.
Is it because of how Christmas is in Japan or is there a in lore reason?
Hello hello!! Thank you so much for this question!
I was not able to find a lore-related reason for the Christmas-style furniture and maps that have turned up in the game!
A cursory search mostly results in people wondering why there isn't a Christmas-themed event in Twst like there is for Halloween, and there was this response on Yahoo! Answers of, "Santa only brings presents to good children so they don't have Christmas in Twst" ww.
The closest the game seems to come to acknowledging Christmas might be Book 4:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The ghosts mention celebrating the new year with family, which is very Japan, but they also mention cake and gingerbread houses.
This might have been a little too on-the-nose for EN, where those foods were rewritten as pie and ham:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But Trey referencing cake has been kept, and Christmas Cake is a big part of Japan Christmas:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Theme cakes are not unusual, and there was a Twst Christmas cake offered back in 2021.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are a couple places in the game where EN added "holidays" to character dialogue, like Crewel:
Tumblr media
All he said was "when you go home," and going home is what New Year's is all about in Japan.
Tumblr media
But it's not just any home! New Years is when you go to stay at your 実家, where your parents (or their parents, or their parents' parents, etc., depending on how old you are) live.
This comes up in Grim's line where he explains to Jamil that he and the prefect don't have a 実家 to return to.
But the characters do reference unspecified "holidays" directly, even on JP!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So what is being celebrated is possibly an unspecified combination of Christmas and New Years, together!
Christmas celebrations seem to vary by country and they may be particularly different in Japan, when viewed from the perspective of the EN server's target audience.
There are many English-language articles out there about how Christmas is celebrated in Japan, and this one might be my favorite:
"In Japan, Christmas in known as more of a time to spread happiness rather than a religious celebration...Another popular activity at Christmas in Japan, especially in Tokyo, is visiting Tokyo Disneyland (which opened in 1983) and seeing all the decorations and the parades. The Christmas 'season' at Tokyo Disneyland is from the 2nd week in November until Christmas Day. On December 26th, all the Christmas decorations are gone, ready for the New Year celebrations to start! New Year is a very big celebration in Japan. A 'Disney' style Christmas might have also influenced how Japanese culture celebrates Christmas as a fun and romantic time, rather than a religious one."
Much like Disney's influence on Japan's Halloween they have also had an influence on Japan's Christmas, which might be one of the reasons why certain elements are turning up in Twst!

Born in February 1998 to a small town in Daejeon, DOYEON had a relatively quiet life growing up. It was a place where everyone knew everyone, where people met up on weekends in town halls or community centres to share coffee and cake and pour over puzzles. There wasn’t much excitement, but DOYEON didn’t mind. He liked afternoons spent playing with his younger brother, or helping his mother in the kitchen. He didn’t need much entertainment to keep him happy, and was perfectly content as he was.
Or at least, he thought he was. The restlessness started to fester at around the age of thirteen, and it was a slippery slope from that point onwards. He’d seen all the movies in their singular cinema more than twice over, had tried every position there was possible without hurting himself on the swings in their tiny park (at one point he could hook his legs over the top bar and let himself hang, using it more like a gymnast than a bored child), and was sick to death of the jigsaws he helped with every weekend. He felt lost for a while, stuck still on his feet without an end destination in sight, retreating into his shell and keeping his head down—until he saw an rerun of Inkigayo playing on the old tv strung up in the corner of the café he had grown to like, and then all of a sudden he had brand new dream, a brand new goal to strive towards.
It was more the dance than the whole idol thing that DOYEON was interested in, and he enrolled himself into a few classes the second he was able. Dancing was all he did for the next few months. On the way home from school following whatever rhythm he was making up in his head, in his bedroom copying along to various choreographies, even while sitting down his feet would be tapping along to a beat no-one could hear but him. He was obsessed, poured everything he had into it. It felt like he’d finally found his true calling, and one day in 2015 while walking home from a lesson a FNC scouter seemed to think so too. He was introduced, handed a business card, and had shaken the man’s hand before he was gone again and DOYEON was left dazed and with a new opportunity tucked into his hand.
An opportunity he took, of course. His mother was worried about the move to Seoul, but DOYEON assured her he would call every week, ruffled his younger brother’s hair just to watch him complain, and boarded the train to his new trainee life. One that, once he was finally able to debut with SLOW MOTION, would have a rather sad end a little over a year after their 2019 debut. There was no egregious scandal or vicious fight between the five members that tore them apart, but instead they just.. Fell flat. With nothing to do, and not much chance to dance in front of adoring crowds like he’d wanted since he was young, when JAGUAR approached he was biting at the bit to take the chance.

JALEN was born on a late spring evening in April 1997, to a nightclub-owner of a father and a karaoke-loving office worker mother—right in the very heart of Beijing. Music and dance and the raucous laughter of the young partygoers as they drunkenly tottered down in search of the next club to hit, shoes clattering on the uneven cobbles of the city streets that sat right outside his little flat’s bedroom window, were something he grew up with practically ingrained in him.
With no siblings to keep him company, and not many friends at school to bunk off classes or mess around on the walk home with, JALEN turned to music instead. At first it was just his hesitant accompaniment of his mother whenever she made use of her weekend off to enjoy a couple of hours at their local KTV, but from there it started to spiral. He loved singing with everything in him, really, but he also wanted to try and make some of his own. He was mostly self-taught, watching tutorials late into the night and messing around on his phone, starting with only simple mixes of his favourite songs, and then at around the age of seventeen/eighteen was when he started picking up DJ sets in his father’s club to really try his hand at the craft.
Becoming an idol was never really part of the plan. He would’ve been happy to work at the club for however many more years he saw fit, until his mother sat him down and pointed out that he could go so much further if he tried to get deeper into the industry rather than simply scratching the surface of Beijing’s nightlife scene. METRONOME was never at the top of his list either, but the auditions were the closest, and so on a hot summers day in mid 2015 the freshly eighteen year old JALEN packed a bag for the four-hour bullet train ride to Shanghai and performed the best he could for the panel before him—a simple song and dance routine he’d learnt back-to-front.
It was apparently deemed good enough for them to take him on, and so he made his move to Korea and the next three years were spent training until the eventual debut of ALGORHYTHM. But it only took a single member leaving for them to fall apart and for JALEN to be left with nothing else to do other than make beat after beat on his shitty laptop that he stubbornly refused to upgrade and then make up the routines for them in his head afterwards—until, of course, JAGUAR happened, and his life began to pick up speed again.

Hailing from the very centre of Gangnam in the cold month of November 1999, with a near-supermodel mother and talent agent father, HAEIL had grown up vaguely in and around the rich and the famous. And while his older sister basked in the spare attention they naturally got as a result, HAEIL himself wasn’t too keen. The camera flashes made his eyes sting, the microphones shoved in his face by reporters with leering grins on their faces as they asked him—a child, barely nine or ten or twelve or whatever age he was when they did it—how it felt to have such wonderful people for parents made him want to turn and run back to his room, and the general feeling of being watched made his skin crawl, made him want to lash out and start yelling until it all stopped.
But it turned out he didn’t know how good he had it. Late 2011 was when his life came crashing down, so fast it almost felt like a blur. One day he was stopping in the corner shop to buy lunch for himself before school, and the next he was standing stock still in front of the newspaper stand staring at his mother’s debauched face streaked with makeup and mouth open in an angry scream at whoever was taking her photo. ‘Model caught in cheating scandal,’ read the fine print underneath, and then he was snatching a copy and running out of the store, back to the apartment, ignoring the yells coming after him. He reread the story until none of the words made sense anymore, until his father found him in his room and snatched it out of his hands.
The cameras and the microphones and the reporters got worse after that. His mother was nowhere to be seen, his sister didn’t revel in the attention so much as despise it, his father was a silent shell of who he used to be, and HAEIL himself wanted to scrub his life off of his skin, start over completely. That chance came only a year later, when he was approached on the tube of all places, on the way to school. The METRONOME representative had to tap him three times on the shoulder to get him to take his headphones off, and the first words he spoke to him were “Would you like to be an idol?”. It was his chance to make his name be associated with something other than his mother, wrapped in a bow named ALGORHYTHM, and HAEIL could do nothing but agree.
Alas, his chance didn’t last long. All his years of training turned out to be useless after ALGORHYTHM fell to the wayside after the departure of LEVI. He wanted to be known for something other than having a mess of a mother, but all that got him was being known for being in the group that couldn’t cope with one less member. He was desperate for a third chance, a final opportunity to make a name for himself, and so when JAGUAR rolled around he practically couldn't say yes fast enough.

Born in the busiest part of Chongqing in January 2001, as the youngest to two older sisters and a branch-manager mother far too busy for her own good, YIJUN didn’t have heaps in common with his family growing up. His friends from school were fine, but it was all skin-deep. None of them ever wanted to hang around after classes were over, or go to the cinema when the latest flick came out, or hit the shopping streets whenever they had a bit of pocket money to spare on weekends. He was left to his own devices for a large amount of his younger years, and more often than not that translated into him being led awake at three in the morning with his phone propped up on the pillow before him while he led and watched music show reruns all night.
Rap had always been something he was interested in. It was a genre that stretched far beyond his imagination, and he wanted to learn every inch of it: how to go fast, how to slow it down, how to keep to a beat and make it sound good at the same time. How you could mumble, words barely intelligible, and still make something worthwhile—however niche the audience for it might’ve been. He liked it so much he started to try it out for himself, bit by bit. Always in the quiet confines of his own bedroom, always with only himself to hear whatever words came out of his mouth.
He practised until he thought he was good enough, took to taking free sample beats from SoundCloud and rapping over them before uploading them on his own account even if a grand total of only 12 people listened to them. He practised until a calm summer day in 2016, when he was walking home from school and watched as a poster came drifting to the floor from where it’d been hastily plastered onto the side of the graffiti-covered bus shelter, one that simply read JAGUAR AUDITIONS with the time and place in fine print underneath. And while he’d never really believed in anything spiritual, the ‘divine interferences’ his oldest sister seemed to be marginally obsessed with, it was as if it had been placed there specifically for YIJUN to find it, and he wasn’t going to ignore such a glaringly obvious sign like that.
So he skipped school one early winter day, caught the train armed with his phone and the clothes on his back and barely enough money for a ticket, and walked into the auditions room like he owned the place. From there it was pressing play on the track he’d cobbled together in the weeks leading up to that very moment, looking them all dead in the eyes, and trying not to lose his nerve.
It worked, and he was moving out as soon as he got the chance. His mother accompanied him on the long plane ride over, gave him a short hug for the first time in what felt like years, and then he was left to his own devices once again, to get used to his new routine at JAGUAR. He was over the moon when he was given a chance to be in a group named BONSOIR, but all that excitement disappeared after the addition of JAEHEE—a blatant outsider, someone who didn’t fit in the slightest. YIJUN didn’t care all that much about the article that was known to many as BONSOIR’s downfall because, to him, BONSOIR wasn’t a group at all if JAEHEE was there. He wasn’t all that happy when given the offer of debuting with CHERRYADE, either, but he did it anyway—if only to terrorise JAEHEE some more.

On a sticky summer night in Chiang Mai was when GOGO was born, June 2002. Despite his Thai hometown, he was born to two Korean parents (an eccentric traveller of a mother and a stay-at-home father who would willingly follow wherever she wanted to go next), and grew up having to juggle between speaking one language at school and another at home. This didn’t last forever, though, because at the age of eight their family of four (extended by the original three when his younger brother was born, when GOGO was seven and very much against the prospect of a wailing, screaming, wriggly thing he’d have to call his sibling) packed up and moved to Yangsan, in a country that was technically his homeland but didn’t at all feel like it.
Yangsan lasted for barely a year. Just when he’d been settling in, learning how to talk like the boys at his school did, how to leave his tie loose the way they did, how to act like they did, they were handing in their final rent payment and making the move to Jeonju. And just when he was finally making closer friends, getting to know the twists and turns of the neighbourhood like the back of his own hand, they were packing up again, and then Suncheon was his newest home at age 11. he almost didn’t dare to breathe, worried to say a singular word to his classmates in fear he’d get told the next day they had a new apartment waiting for them in another city far away, and he was right for it. Ulsan came a month before he turned 12, and it was where he and his family—the only people that hadn’t changed, his father and mother and irritating younger brother—finally settled.
So he adjusted. He blended in. He made friends, got comfortable, and soon it was like he’d been there since the day he was born all over again. His days were spent joking and laughing and play fighting, slipping out of the school gates before the first bell rang to the nearby arcades and basketball courts and crowding up against each other with someone’s phone propped up on a bench while they tried to learn the latest EXO choreography, then lying through his teeth back home about all the things he’d supposedly ‘learnt’ that day in lessons. His audition came about in a similar way—a mild September afternoon in 2015, while he and his friends were bunking off, wandering down the city streets, one saw a sign advertising SM walk-in auditions and hit him on the shoulder to grab his attention. “I dare you to go in there” was what he said, and GOGO could do nothing but agree. It seemed his mostly-freestyled routine to the tune of EL DORADO playing out of his phone speakers was enough to impress, or at least convince the people sitting in front of him that he had some potential, because the next thing he knew he was being told he should be expecting a callback. Then came the goodbyes, the moving into dorms, and the practice, day in and day out. 
He was perfectly content there, happy with his members and the group and the multiple sub-units he was given the chance to debut in—until he wasn’t. GOGO himself didn’t really know what changed, he just didn’t feel right there anymore. Didn’t feel like he fit. So when JAGUAR reached out with a request for him to join their little roster for a new group set to debut in 2021, it was all he could do to agree. He doesn’t regret a thing, and would do the exact same even if he was given a chance to go back.

Suwon was where JAEHEE was born, in the month July 2002. As a child he only had his mother, his father having parted ways with the two in exchange for a new job in America. He was content with just the two of them until 2009, when his mother remarried and he was suddenly made to make nice and live with his new older step-brother and younger step-sister. It was a hard change for JAEHEE, and more often than not he felt left out, isolated from the new family of four as the forgotten middle child. He started to retreat into himself then, not going out unless it was to go to school or when sent on errands. There was nothing much to do except watch dramas all day, and it was then that he came to the quiet realisation that he wanted to try it out. The idea of pretending to be a different person, even if it was only for an hour or two in a school play, was something JAEHEE found he liked the idea of quite a bit.
He began acting by joining the drama club in school, and threw his all into it immediately. There he wasn’t the quiet JAEHEE, the one that barely greeted his mother and step-father when he got home before rushing up to his room, but instead he could be the sociable one, the one that greeted everyone with a smile and always had friends hanging off of his arms. He first got asked whether he wanted to be a real actor in 2015, and couldn’t be happier. From there it was a lot of forms and paperwork and older, far more important people than the talent scout he’d first been in touch with asking about where he wanted to go with his career, and him having to leave all of his school friends behind to enrol in a proper acting school, and lessons on etiquette and respect and a whole load of other things that made his head spin. Still, he loved every minute of it, and isn’t too ashamed to admit that he cried when he landed his first role—a minor one, with only a handful of lines, but a role all the same.
The want for change came around three years later, early 2018. It wasn’t like he’d lost his love for acting, but more that he felt he wasn’t going anywhere. It was background character after background character, extra after extra, and he was starting to get sick of it. He wanted something different, a complete cleanse. A challenge. That thought process was what led him down a year-long spiral that eventually landed him at JAGUAR in December, where he had to take a moment and ask himself if the life of an idol was what he really wanted.
But, at the end of the day, he didn’t think it would be too much of a high hurdle to jump over. He already had the whole pretend-to-be-a-different-person act down to a T, and the rest could be learnt and improved on with time. So he signed the form, started training, and it was then decided he would be debuting with BONSOIR. JAEHEE was wary, aware of the single they’d already released as a four, and for good reason—it was like they all couldn’t stand the sight of him, bar maybe HYEONMIN on good days. It was like walking on broken glass barefooted every day with them, and when the article that ripped back the curtain on how he was treated was released he could admit that he was a little relieved. And that relief only grew when he was told he was then going to be in a shiny, new, group—even if YIJUN (the one who, without a doubt, hated him the most) was going to be right there him.

HASUN wasn’t born into any sort of stardom—far from it, actually, with a mild-mannered librarian father and a mother that passed away a mere few months after he was born into a quaint neighbourhood in Incheon, August 2003—but he was very close to it. His father’s sister just so happened to be the mother of one CHOI YOONHAE, who in around 2015 would reach his peak as JAGUAR’s most successful (and only) soloist, claiming his place as reigning king over the quickly deteriorating duo JUST4U. His older cousin was what inspired him to want to be an idol in the first place. He wanted to sing just like him, dance just like him, succeed and soar to heights that at the time felt unattainable just like him.
Singing was where he thought to start. In the shower to instrumentals of his favourite songs, under his breath while studying or doing odd jobs in the library his father worked at, at the noraebang after school with his friends, belting out the lyrics louder than all of them. It was like his lifeline, and he was biting at the bit to be able to audition for JAGUAR. His father finally let him a month after his thirteenth birthday in 2016, on the strict condition that YOONHAE and his younger sister, EUNHEE (who had just recently started to work at the company also) were to watch over him any time they got the chance to make sure he was settling in alright. He painstakingly chose a song to audition with, practised it until he could sing the verses in his sleep (with a little dance to go along with it, a number he did so many times he almost wore out the soles of his favourite trainers), and his father came with him to the audition hall to cheer him on and treat him to hotpot afterwards.
When he finally got the news of his acceptance, he nearly cried out of joy. Despite it being a generally well-known fact that trainee life wasn’t always the best of experiences, HASUN loved every minute of it—turning up to every practice with a grin so wide it looked as if his face hurt from the force of it. Even when he was deemed not the right fit for BONSOIR did he become disheartened. He just kept on going, smiling all the while.
That was, until YOONHAE was found to have taken his own life in his penthouse apartment on a cold morning in December 2018. However much JAGUAR tried to sweep all news of it under the carpet, keep as much press away from it as possible, it still happened. And the worst part of it was the 15-year-old HASUN was standing outside the very block of flats the morning it was discovered, EUNHEE by his side as they stared on in silence. He almost went through a complete personality shift then, withdrawing into himself completely. There was no sunny smile anymore, and no laughter either.
But despite all of this, the tragedy that had befallen his family and himself, HASUN stayed. It took a good year or so after YOONHAE’s death for it to happen, but he started to gradually improve again, small smiles making their appearances again and mood seeming to brighten up, however slowly it was happening. He’s certainly not the same person as he was when he was thirteen, but he’s trying his best.

28.12. New Year's Dishes おせち料理
Today is the last business day of the year (at least, it was in 2021 😉). What do you need to do in the office or at home? Choose four answers ⬇️
Tumblr media
Answer and Translation
A. You decorate the kadomatsu.
B. You greet your boss, colleagues and acquaintances with "Happy New Year" and "Please take care of me next year as well."
C. Students do their winter-break homework.
D. You tidy up your office.
E. You start preparing the New Year's dishes.
F. You visit a shintō shrine.
Vocab
門松(かどまつ)traditional Japanese decorations made for the New Year, usually placed in pairs in front of homes and buildings
整頓する(せいとんする)to tidy up; to neaten; to organize
おせち料理(おせちりょうり)traditional New Year's food
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Examples of おせち料理
Kazunoko (数の子・かずのこ), herring roe. Kazu (数) means "number" and ko (子) means "child", so it symbolizes a wish to have numerous children in the New Year.
Daidai (橙・だいだい), Japanese bitter orange. Daidai also means "from generation to generation" when written 代々. Like kazunoko (数の子), it symbolizes a wish for children in the New Year.
Konbu (昆布・こんぶ), a kind of seaweed. It is associated with the word yorokobu (喜ぶ), meaning "joy", so it symbolizes a joyous New Year.
Tumblr media
Tazukuri (田作り・たずくり), dried sardines cooked in soy sauce. The literal meaning of the kanji in tazukuri is "rice paddy maker", as the fish were used historically to fertilize rice fields, so the dish symbolizes an abundant harvest.
Kōhakunamasu (紅白なます) is made of daikon and carrot cut into thin strips and pickled in sweetened vinegar with yuzu flavor.
Nishikitamago (錦卵/二色玉子・にしきたまご), egg roulade; the egg is separated before cooking, yellow symbolizing gold, and white symbolizing silver, and together symbolizing wealth and good fortune.
Kamaboko (蒲鉾・かまぼこ), broiled fish cake. The red and white colors represent the rising sun, a symbol of Japan, and the semicircular shape of the fish cake symbolizes the first sunrise of the New Year.

Daniel Ellsberg, a US government analyst who became one of the most famous whistleblowers in world politics when he leaked the Pentagon Papers, exposing US government knowledge of the futility of the Vietnam war, has died. He was 92. His death was confirmed by his family on Friday.
In March, Ellsberg announced that he had inoperable pancreatic cancer. Saying he had been given three to six months to live, he said he had chosen not to undergo chemotherapy and had been assured of hospice care.
“I am not in any physical pain,” he wrote, adding: “My cardiologist has given me license to abandon my salt-free diet of the last six years. This has improved my life dramatically: the pleasure of eating my favourite foods!”
On Friday, the family said Ellsberg “was not in pain” when he died. He spent his final months eating “hot chocolate, croissants, cake, poppy-seed bagels and lox” and enjoying “several viewings of his all-time favourite [movie], Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid”, the family statement added.
“In his final days, surrounded by so much love from so many people, Daniel joked, ‘If I had known dying would be like this, I would have done it sooner …’
“Thank you, everyone, for your outpouring of love, appreciation and well-wishes. It all warmed his heart at the end of his life.”
Tributes were swift and many.
Alan Rusbridger, the former editor-in-chief of the Guardian, said Ellsberg “was widely, and rightly, acclaimed as a great and significant figure. But not by Richard Nixon, who wanted him locked up. He’s why the national interest should never be confused with the interest of whoever’s in power.”
The Pulitzer-winning journalist Wesley Lowery wrote: “It was an honor knowing Daniel … I’ll remain inspired by his commitment to a mission bigger than himself.”
The writer and political commentator Molly Jong-Fast said: “One of the few really brave people on this earth has left it.”
The MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan said: “Huge loss for this country. An inspiring, brave, and patriotic American. Rest in power, Dan, rest in power.”
The Pentagon Papers covered US policy in Vietnam between 1945 and 1967 and showed that successive administrations were aware the US could not win.
By the end of the war in 1975, more than 58,000 Americans were dead and 304,000 were wounded. Nearly 250,000 South Vietnamese soldiers were killed, as were about 1 million North Vietnamese soldiers and Viet Cong guerillas and more than 2 million civilians in North and South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.
The Pentagon Papers caused a sensation in 1971, when they were published – first by the New York Times and then by the Washington Post and other papers – after the supreme court overruled the Nixon administration on whether publication threatened national security.
In 2017, the story was retold in The Post, an Oscar-nominated film directed by Steven Spielberg in which Ellsberg was played by the British actor Matthew Rhys.
Ellsberg served in the US Marine Corps in the 1950s but went to Vietnam in the mid-60s as a civilian analyst for the defense department, conducting a study of counter-insurgency tactics. When he leaked the Pentagon Papers, he was working for the Rand Corporation.
In 2021, a half-century after he blew the whistle, he told the Guardian: “By two years in Vietnam, I was reporting very strongly that there was no prospect of progress of any kind so the war should not be continued. And that came to be the majority view of the American people before the Pentagon Papers came out.
“By ’68 with the Tet offensive, by ’69, most Americans already thought it was immoral to continue but that had no effect on Nixon. He thought he was going to try to win it and they would be happy once he’d won it, however long it took.”
In 1973, Ellsberg was put on trial. Charges of espionage, conspiracy and stealing government property adding up to a possible 115-year sentence were dismissed due to gross governmental misconduct, including a break-in at the office of Ellsberg’s psychiatrist, part of the gathering scandal which led to Nixon’s resignation in 1974.
Born in Chicago on 7 April 1931, Ellsberg was educated at Harvard and Cambridge, completing his PhD after serving as a marine. He was married twice and had two sons and a daughter.
After the end of the Vietnam war he became by his own description “a lecturer, scholar, writer and activist on the dangers of the nuclear era, wrongful US interventions and the urgent need for patriotic whistleblowing”.
Ellsberg contributed to publications including the Guardian and published four books, among them an autobiography, Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers, and most recently The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner.
In recent years, he publicly supported Chelsea Manning, the US soldier who leaked records of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, who published Manning’s leaks, and Edward Snowden, who leaked records concerning surveillance by the National Security Agency.
On Friday, the journalist Glenn Greenwald, one of the Guardian team which published the Snowden leaks in 2013, winning a Pulitzer prize, called Ellsberg “a true American hero” and “the most vocal defender” of Assange, Snowden, Manning and “others who followed in his brave footsteps”.
Steven Donziger, an attorney who represented Indigenous people in the Amazon rainforest against the oil giant Chevron, a case that led to his own house arrest, said: “Today the world lost a singularly brave voice who spoke truth about the US military machine in Vietnam and risked his life in the process. I drew deep inspiration from the courage of Daniel Ellsberg and was deeply honored to have his support.”
In 2018, in a joint Guardian interview with Snowden, Ellsberg paid tribute to those who refused to be drafted to fight in Vietnam.
“I would not have thought of doing what I did,” he said, “which I knew would risk prison for life, without the public example of young Americans going to prison to make a strong statement that the Vietnam war was wrong and they would not participate, even at the cost of their own freedom.
“Without them, there would have been no Pentagon Papers. Courage is contagious.”
Three years later, in an interview to mark 50 years since the publication of the Pentagon Papers, he said he “never regretted for a moment” his decision to leak.
His one regret, he said, was “that I didn’t release those documents much earlier when I think they would have been much more effective.
“I’ve often said to whistleblowers, ‘Don’t do what I did, don’t wait years till the bombs are falling and people have been dying.’”

Hi my Tumblr Peeps😃 Today I decided I'd work on a particular character from One Punch Man today. And his name is Garou. I did try writing about him in fall 2021, however things wasn't going as planned and my device did crash earlier last year, so I got a new device which was how I was able to write about Mezo Shoji, Koji Koda, Gang Orca, Mitsuri Kanroji, etc.. Then I decided to start from scratch and figured... Why not work on this fanfic about Garou that I'm writing about.🤷‍♀️💡😃
Tumblr media
The Mutual Confession (Garou (One Punch Man) x (any gender reader)
Genres: Head Cannon(?), Confession (and/or Confession Fluff), Funny Light Hearted Fluff
*When you first met Garou it was by the bus stop. He will chat with you, however if you make a good impression on him (without realizing or knowing it), he will be a little shy while trying to show blushing on his face. He basically likes inner beauty and kindness (which are his weaknesses).
*On the bus (any kind of bus), if Garou catches anyone trying to flirt with you (especially since you made a good impression on him and he sees your kindness), he will definitely hint for them to back off. He feels that he's trying to show that you made a good impression on him. You were happy he's protective of you despite of you being atleast a little concerned about him.
*At (school/college/work), Garou notices that the (the other students/coworkers) were bullying you earlier, so after (school/college/work), Garou madesure to teach the same (other students/coworkers) who were bullying you a lesson to not harass you anymore, and Garou will do so in physical fashion, since he doesn't like bullies at all. Infact he hates bullies due to what happened in his childhood while he was in school. Garou just wanted to makesure you don't end up like him in anyway to makesure you don't get bullied anymore.
*As the (other students/coworkers) who did bully you apologized to you for what they did to you, you glanced at Garou walking by while trying to focus on their apology as well. You knew full well that Garou beat them up, while also knowing what Garou did to them being the reason why the (other students/coworkers) crying to you, as they're apologizing to you and pleading that they will not bully you nor be mean to you anymore.
*Months went by as Garou went to your place with the cake he stole (without getting caught somehow, since he's somehow sneaky with the cake) and the flowers he picked in the park (flowers weren't stolen). He knocked on your door, which you answered the door wondering how he knew where you lived, tough you smile and welcomed in your home anyways. He only knew where you lived because he saw you walked home one evening (only to makesure you got home safe).
*After Garou got inside your place for the first time ever, he really surprised you with cake and flowers. You were happy about the cake and the flowers that Garou got for you (even tough you were curious how he managed to get you that cake). Despite of your curiosity about how he got you that expensive looking cake, you appreciate the cake (just as well as the flowers) that he surprised you with anyways. Garou decided to ask you where the living room is, so he can have a talk with you, which you happily showed him where the living is. Afterwards you sat in one chair while Garou sat in the across from you.
*As Garou was about to try to confess that he has a crush on you, he blushed and had trouble finding the words to say about how he felt about you. After a minute of Garou trying to find the words to say his confession, you decided to take your turn to confess saying, "I get it, Garou. I like you, too.", as you smiled, because you knew since day one that you met him that he liked you, even tough Garou had trouble finding his words without being a blushing mess. Garou was definitely shocked to hear you confessed to him like that.
*When Garou was shocked to hear that out of you, while being a blushing mess, he would say, "You knew I... Uh... Liked... You?And since you... Um... Liked me... Too, then... How long... Did you... How do I say this...", as he frustrated in how to work this. You then cut him off saying that you had a crush on him since the last couple minutes before the bus came on that very day both you and Garou met at the bus stop, as you smile. What you told him not only surprised him more, however what you said also made him more of a blushing mess as his face kept getting more and more red, as each second went by.
*So, since the confession crush talk is out of the way both you and Garou got to know eachother more and more, as time went by. You just didn't care, if Garou had an occupation, or any kind of reputation Garou has, or anything like that. You accept him for who he is and he accepts you for who you are and he feels the same way about you. He's always right by your side and your always by Garou's side, as well. At this point nothing will come between you and Garou, because the fact is that you and Garou are eachother's soulmates together for all eternity.
The End
I have been wanting to successfully post a fanfic in Tumblr for a long time. Unfortunately I was unable to post a fanfic I was working on in fall of 2021. The fanfic I was unable to post about (due unknown reasons) did involve a bus stop and Garou beating up a bully and while last year after getting a new device I did thought about working on a confession story pertaining Garou, so while writing this fanfic I ended up writing about, I decided to mix a couple pieces of the fanfic I couldn't post in fall of 2021 and the confession thoughts of last year while making this a fun sunshine and rainbows type of head cannon(?), fanfic☀️🌈☀️🌈 Anyways my Tumblr Peeps, I hope you have fun reading this fanfic and it makes your day just as much as I had fun writing it while writing that made my day☀️🌈😁👍

“Im not a fan of the sabres but” folks have you considered that a young, scrappy and hungry team is before you and they are just getting started? with a coach who took over after a season from hell and made miracle happen after a coach who destroyed that team to the very brink?
let me map some of it out:
1. Donny Granato took young Tage Thompson, a kid who was drafted by St. Louis and they didn’t develop well at all. Donny took him from right wing and made him a center, put him on a line with Alex Tuch and Jeff Skinner and watched the goals rain down. With nearly 50 goals this season alone, he’s fucking flying.
Tumblr media
2. He took Jeff Skinner, who was hated by many for his contract and had two rough seasons at the start of his contract, and put him with Alex and Tage and he’s had the best season of his entire career at age 30. He has the the sixth most 5v5 goals in the league right now.
Tumblr media
3. Alex Tuch, who came from Vegas in the Eichel trade and is a hometown boy, is absolutely killing it. He came off of injury after a few months in the 2021-2022 season and hasn’t slowed down. He is also having the best season of his career, and the only reason he doesn’t have more this year is because he was injured for a few weeks. Sabres top line has been killing it.
Let’s look at some other stats:
Tumblr media
Our top players are a mix of seasoned guys and youngsters between 21-22, averaging 24.62 years old, and that’s because Jeff is 30. Our youngest guy (Owen Power) is 20 and this is his rookie season. Our young guys are just revving up and getting their nhl debut seasons under their belt, like Jack Quinn (21) who has 36 points right now. Dylan Cozens (22) has 66, Rasmus Dahlin (22) has 69, and Casey Mittelstadt (24) has 51!
Tumblr media
And these other stats? Fucking insane the amount of points they all have. They’re so good and next year is doing to be so much better. Donny and Kevyn Adams have created a killer team! Our defense being up there in points makes me SO happy.
Our Defense is also getting there, with Rasmus Dahlin absolutely fucking taking the cake. His defensive and puck playing skills are insane, and Tyson Jost even compared him to Cale Makar. He’s got 66 points, and he’s paving his own path of greatness. He along with Mattias Samuelsson and Owen Power are setting up our defensive future and we’ve got some great prospects coming up the pipeline. The future is looking bright.
Tumblr media
We’ve got to talk about our new goalie. Devon Levi, self proclaimed and fan praised beast, is the most exciting part of our current team right now. We have the points and stats to be a top team but our goal tending has been middle grade at best, but with Devon Levi, it seems like our goal tending is looking brighter. He’s got the skill and confidence to be a top goalie in his career and he’s exactly what this team has been waiting for.
The thing that makes me even more excited is that other teams are looking at the sabres and seeing that their rebuild has been a fantastic one. Teams are literally looking at the sabres rebuild and applauding the sabres for it.
AND HONESTLY MORE THAN THAT! THIS TEAM IS A FUN FOUND FAMILY! They have clicked so well together, and no one is left out. They have groups that mix and match and they love each other. Maybe not all of them were there for the hell season of 2020-21, but the ones that were have created (nurtured) a team where they love it and want to stay. They want to stay, they want to be here to win a cup together, they believe in themselves and each other. They go on vacation together, they hang out after practice together, their families are always together, and it’s so fucking nice to see.
Not to mention our social media team is KILLING it with the content and the broadcast team is so fucking good. I wouldn’t know half of what I know about hockey without Marty Biron giving explanations of plays in the intermission!
So yeah thats my little bid for you to support or even pay attention to these guys. The future is brught

Crème Brûleé and Sweets - Chapter 1
August 2021
"Biggs! My dude, no!" Josie gently picked her ginger cat up from the counter, cradling him like a baby as he meowed indignantly. "I need to work and you need to go somewhere else." She gently put him down on her kitchen floor and swatted his butt. He meowed loudly again and walked haughtily out of the kitchen, most likely going to claw up her bedspread in retaliation.
Josie went to the sink to wash her hands and sighed loudly. "Alexa, play baking playlist."
Music started to play in the background, some pop song she's heard a billion times, but still doesn't know the name of.
"So, are we ready to start soon?" Mike, her cameraman, asked. 
They met in college and were roommates at Pitt. When she started her channel, she did almost everything herself. After she hit a million subscribers in 2019, she reached out to Mike, who was moving to the Cincinnati area for work, for help. Two years later, they were working 3 days a week filming for her youtube channel. Tuesdays were 'Baking and True Crime Tuesdays' and Fridays were for vlogging and try-it videos that she co-hosted with Mike. Never in a million years did she think it would her channel would grow to this size. In 2019 she was working at a bakery, feeling crappy and looking for some motivation. She completed a Bachelor degree in Food Science while also enrolled in a nearby culinary school part time. She focused her passion on baking with dreams of opening a world-class bakery. 
"Earth to Josie, this is space control delta. Can you hear me?" Mike clapped his hands.
"Yeah, yeah. Sorry. I was just thinking about something and got distracted." She reached for her apron and walked towards the island counter to look over her prepped ingredients. "We are ready. Today we're doing a Finnish tiger cake. I got a Bengals jersey on too. You think I should start the video without my apron for my intro and the sponsor announcement, then put it on for the rest?"
Mike adjusted the one light and nodded as he did so. "Yeah I think that's a good idea." He stepped back and behind the camera. "Ready when you are."
Josie nodded and breathed a few times. It didn't matter how many times she's filmed content, her nerves always kick up in the beginning. A mix of excitement but also worry that her viewers wouldn't like her content. She turned off the music and counted to 10 in her head before giving a thumbs up for Mike to start filming. 
Mike counted down from 3 and the recording light turned on. Josie immediately smiled happily. "Hey everyone! Welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, I'm Josie Laurel and this is Baking and True Crime Tuesdays.  I bake something new while I talk about a true crime story that's interesting to me. I'll be sure to include a link to the recipe I'm using." She clasped her hands together and continued, "I also want to say a huge thank you to those who donated recently to a number of food banks throughout the Cincinnati area in honor of my mom's birthday. She was super happy to hear about the amount of donations received. As some of you may already know, my mom is battling breast cancer and is taking time off from her job as a director of family resources. We are very passionate about making sure no child goes hungry. With your donations and efforts, we are achieving that! Please also, if you can, support your local food banks year round."
Now before we talk about today's video sponsor, I want to show you this wicked jersey I got over the weekend!" She turned around and showed off the 'UZOMAH' written on the back. "I got my second favorite Bengals player's jersey. Sadly, Joe Burrow's was sold out."
She turned back around and said, "It's only fitting that I'm baking a Finnish Tiger Cake, wearing a Bengals jersey, and that we are talking about the Tiger King documentary today! Joe Burrow, if you are watching this, I want your jersey!" Josie makes air guns at the camera, not even thinking, for a minute, that she'd be getting a DM from Joe Brrr himself later that night. 
Mike grinned behind the camera and rolled his eyes playfully. "Make it more obvious, Jos. Next you'll be sliding in his DMs."
Josie raised her brow and scoffed, "More like he'll be sliding in my DMs once he sees my mad skills. Don't hate Mike!... and please edit this out!" She flipped him the bird. "Now onto our sponsor. Today's sponsor is NordVPN.."
-----------
Later that evening, after eating three slices of the tiger cake and finishing up last minute edits, she uploaded her video to Youtube, deciding to take a quick nap in the mean time. 
By the time she came to, it was about 8:30p.m. and her phone would not stop ringing. She squinted at the screen and saw Mike's name on the screen, including a string of unanswered texts from him and some other friends.
Alarmed, Josie shot up in bed, startling Biggs who hissed and shot off the bed. "Sorry, dude!" She unlocked her phone and immediately called Mike.
He answered after the first ring. "Josie! Youwouldn'tbelievewhoretweetedyourvideo!!"
Josie blinked in the dark. "Slow down Mike. I just woke up and can't fucking understand you!"
He sighed loudly and spoke super slow. "You wouldn't believe who retweeted your video."
"Who?" 
"Joseph Lee Fuckin' Burrow! Joey B. Joe Brrr! Joey fuckin' Franchise, baby!" He hooted loudly and laughed in disbelief. "This is almost as wild as the time Snoop Dogg shared your brownie recipe on Instagram. This is a big deal!"
"Wait - what? Nah you're kidding!! Joe Burrow?" She put her phone on speaker and immediately went to Twitter, her leg shaking nervously as she waited for the app to open. When it did, she could see her notifications blowing up. Looking past it, she looked up Joe's twitter account and found the tweet. In the retweet it said, "@JosieLaurel I love your videos and we can definitely make that happen! ;)"
She felt her soul leave her body in the moment, listening to Mike still freaking out on the other side of the phone. "Oh my God.." She whispered and exited the Twitter app before opening Instagram. She looked at her following list and entered his name. It showed under her following. What caught her eye the most was a DM request. She received DM requests daily, but had it set where only people she followed could DM her without it going to spam. 
She bit her lip and clicked on the message.
@Joeyb_9 Hi, Josie. My name is Joe. Which you probably already know! I'm a big fan of your youtube series. I saw your video this evening and appreciate the support you show for the Bengals and for the food bank donations you did in honor of your mom. I got a signed jersey for you. Would you be free to meet up for lunch sometime? I have preseason training, but I know a few restaurants we can meet up. If not, that's fine too. No worries. I can mail the jersey to you. I look forward to hearing from you. 
She screenshot the DM and sent it to Mike. "Listen - I'll call you back Mike! I gotta make a quick call!" She hung up and quickly started typing back to him.
@JosieLaurelBlack Hi, Joe. Thanks so much for reaching out. I won't lie - I am geeking right now. I'm a huge fan of the Bengals since I was a kid as is my family (sans my dad who's a Yinzer and therefore a Steelers fan). Thank you so much for supporting my channel and watching my videos. It's a lot of fun and I'm thankful to anyone who takes the time to watch my stuff. I would love to meet up for lunch sometime! Here's my number. Feel free to text me when you'd like to meet up. My schedule is pretty flexible with filming and other commitments. I'm working on a cookbook right now, but I have plenty of time before it's due for review. My # is 513-424-9187. 
She bit her lip, staring at the message before dropping back on her bed and screaming loudly into her pillow. "Oh my god. Oh my God. OH. MY. FUCKIN'. GOD!!" She sat up again, and made eye contact with Biggs, who was sitting on her dresser, judging with an unimpressed look. "Biggs, my dude, this is such a big deal. You wouldn't understand, but it is, ok?" He stared back, impassively before deciding to clean himself.
Her phone buzzed and she looked down to see a text from an unknown number. 
unknown number Hey Josie! I didn't respond to the DM, but decided to text you instead. It's Joe. You free tomorrow?
Josie
Yeah, I am. Where do you want to meet?
Joe How about the training facility? I'll give you a quick tour of the place if you want. We'll have to follow CDC guidelines, but if you're cool with that and want too, we can go to lunch afterwards.
Josie Sure! Thanks so much, Joe. I honestly mean it. What time?
Joe 1pm ok? We can do a late lunch around 3pm if you want.
Josie Sounds good. Text me the address and details. I'll see you tomorrow at 1pm.
Joe
Ok. I'll get the pass information settled and everything in the AM when I head in for training. I look forward to meeting you! Got any of the tiger cake left?
Josie I do! I'll bring you some tomorrow for sure.
Joe
Can't wait. Have a good night, Josie.
Josie
Same to you Joe. Good night!
Josie immediately phoned Mike. "So, guess what~~"

April 1, 2023: Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse, Nikita Gill
Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Nikita Gill Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandpar- ents again. the moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I can’t miss her birthday
Pairing: Timothèe Chalemet x reader
Summary: You and Timothee have been divorced for a year now. Today is your daughter’s birthday party for her friends. Timothee decided to show up.
(not my gif)
Tumblr media
—————————————
You and Timothee divorced at the beginning of 2021. It was good idea for both of you. He wanted to develop his career even more but you wanted him to spend more time with your daughter, Rosie. It’s not like you didn’t care about his acting career. He sometimes just didn’t have time to spend Rosie’s birthday with her or just to spend some daughter and father time. That broke your heart.
Rosie wasn’t planned. You didn’t think that you would have kids at the age of 20. But Timothee convinced you not to have an abortion.
Today was Rosie’s 6th birthday. She wanted to throw a party for her friends. You put so much effort in it. You wanted it to be the best as you could afford.
You didn’t tell Tim because you thought he would be busy that day. Probably in other country filming a movie.
“Mommy do you like my dress?” your daughter asked. She wore beautiful pink dress with some butterflies on it.
“You look amazing Rosie!” you said but you were cut off by door bell.
“I think that might be your friends!”you said and opened the door.
“Jason!” she shouted happily.
Jason was her best friend. You knew if you told Timothee he would freak out. It was your little secret.
Party was going well you even hired a woman who was playing with the kids. So you had some time for yourself.
When you were about to sit on the couch the door bell started ringing. You were confused because all the kids Rosie invited were already there. And her grandparents were supposed to be here tomorrow.
You walked to the door and opened them. You were shocked. You couldn’t believe that Timothee would show up. That he knew about the party.
“H-hi.” he said.
“Timothee what are you doing here?” you asked. He had a present and a cake with “Happiest 6th birthday Rosie” written on it.
“I came to see my daughter it’s her birthday today. Don’t say it’s not today.”
“It is today Tim but she has a small party for her friends. Anyway I see that you prepared this time so you can come in.” last time Timothee forgot about his daughter’s birthday. You were so mad at him.
“Wow it looks great! Unicorns and fairies everywhere! That’s what she likes.” he said.
“Do you want anything to drink?” you asked.
“Water ,please.” you gave him glass of water and sat next to him on the couch. Rosie hadn’t seen him yet. The kids were in other room focused on playing.
“So how’s work? Any new movies?”
“Yeah i’ve got some planned. Why didn’t you tell me that you throwing a party for her?”
“Sorry I thought you were busy.” you said while playing with your fingers. You were nervous you just acted like you didn’t care about him anymore but you missed him so much.
“Her party is ending soon. Maybe you will wait for Rosie in her bedroom?I don’t want her to get distracted by you and forget about her friends.” you said.
“Y-yes of course” he said as he got up and took the present with him. You put the cake in the fridge.
20 minutes passed and all the kids were gone.
“Mommy the party was amazing!! I loved it!” she said you were glad she liked it.
“What about you will go upstairs to your room change into something more comfortable and I will start cleaning?”
“Of course mom! But can we watch ‘Trolls’ after i change and eat pizza?”
“Yes we can ,sweetheart.” you said while cleaning some of the decorations and leftover snacks.
After a minute you could hear how Rosie was happy to see Tim. You were so mad at yourself that you didn’t tell him about the party. You had tears in your eyes but you knew you couldn’t cry right now. Not in front of Timothee and especially your daughter.
“Mommy! Dad got me a new doll and new clothes!” she said while running down the stairs.
The three of you sat in the living room ,ate pizza and watched ‘Trolls’. After some time Rosie fell asleep.
“Maybe i will take Rosie to her bedroom?” Tim asked. You were tired by all the cleaning so you said yes.
Some minutes passed and you found yourself thinking about Timothee and you. You wanted but at the same time didn’t want to tell him that you missed him. He walked down the stairs and sat next to you.
“Tim can we talk?” you asked. Inside you were so nervous.
“Yes what about? I can pay you back for her birthday if you want.”
“No ,you don’t have to. Just was thinking about us. Do you ever have this time?” you asked.
“Yes ,I do. I’m gonna be honest I fucking miss you.”
“Really?” you asked shocked by what he said. Your heart was beating so fast.
“I even think of you when I am mastu-“
“What does ‘fuck’ mean?” he was a scut off by Rosie who stood on the stairs.
“First thing we don’t say bad words like that in this house. Especially you Rosie. And second why aren’t you sleeping?” you asked worried that she would start saying ‘fuck’ in school.
“So why daddy said the word?”
“Because daddy is an adult.” you said.
“Now go back to sleep because mrs. Wilson will come to you!” you said and she went back to her room.
“Who’s mrs. Wilson?” Tim asked.
“Old creepy lady from the grocery shop.” you said as you both laughed.
“Wait so you are thinking of me while jerking off?” you asked confused.
“Don’t say you’ve never done the same just thinking of me” he slaked. Obviously you did. Just didn’t want to tell him.
“Maybe… I guess you will never kn-“ you were cut off by him kissing you.
You missed his lips they were so soft. When you both pulled back you couldn’t believe what just happened.
“I missed your lips.” you said.
“Same.” he said back and kissed you again.
“So another baby?” he asked with a smirk on his face.
“You wish Chalemet!”
“Oh come on! Maybe a boy this time?”
“I will think of it! But at first maybe a date?” you asked.
“Of course and after that another baby Chalemet and another wedding. And i liked when you called me ‘daddy’” he said as you pushed him to your bedroom.
“Oh gosh! Shut up and just fuck me already”you said.
“By the way who is Jason? Is he Rosie’s boyfriend? She told me about him a lot while she was changing in her pj’s” Timmy asked.

birthday wishes
Tumblr media
kaeya x gn!reader
synopsis: kaeya’s birthday wish
word count: 964
fluff
warnings: a little suggestive 😇
a/n: happy birthday to kaeya the love of my life idc if he is a set of pixels 🥳🙏🙏 i have been a PROUD main since feb 25 2021 and i am not ashamed. i will proudly flex my triple crowned c5 r2 aquila kaeya on people. also did y’all see his birthday art???? LORDDDDD
Tumblr media
the streets of the city were bustling, this time of the year was always busy. it was breaching the season of christmas, so everyone’s days were slowly getting busier and busier. whether it be busy with work, christmas shopping, or other unknown tasks, everyone found a way to be busy.
you, however, were currently on your way home early to surprise your boyfriend for his birthday.
you’d been away on a business trip for roughly three months now, and wasn’t supposed to return until right before christmas. this meant you would miss kaeya’s birthday— which you could never do to him. after some nonstop nagging your boss they reluctantly agreed to allow you to cut the trip early and finish the rest at home.
kaeya had no clue you were back in town. last he knew you were on your way to a big business conference and couldn’t talk for awhile, when in reality you were boarding your flight back home. after an agonizingly long six hour flight, you landed and found your way to the taxi outside.
thanks to a few mutual friends you got ahold of kaeya’s schedule for the day, so you knew how to plan things perfectly. you were going to do your best to avoid the apartment just in case he happened to stop by. if all goes according to plan, in a few hours you two will be reunited and celebrating his birthday together.
-
you spent the next three hours running all around the city, going from shop to shop for items. you bought a whole miscellaneous of items. the cake, obligatory fancy wine, a new watch to complete his set, some cologne, anything and everything that kaeya loved you managed to grab. time was flying by, and before you knew it you were rushing home to set up the apartment.
the apartment was thankfully empty when you arrived, just like you had planned. everything had been going according to schedule, so you had at least an hour to get everything laid out.
you started with the kitchen, placing the cake down in the center of the counter island. grabbing two glasses of wine out of the cabinets above, you filled them up and set them opposite of each other. you left the bottle out, figuring that one glass would not be enough for either of you.
next, you moved onto the living room. you unpacked all of the little trinkets and gifts you had bought your beloved, quickly and neatly wrapping them and placing them on the coffee table. by the time you were done it almost looked like christmas in there.
and at last, you moved onto the bedroom. you wanted to let kaeya end the day off with something relaxing, so what’s better than spending some time in the bedroom? you quickly made up the sheets, tucking them in and straightening them so they were all neat. next, you lit some candles on your nightstands to give the room an aroma. you went with a fall spice scent— awhile back kaeya mentioned that smell was his one of his favorites. your memory with that type of stuff was finally coming in handy today.
once you fixed up any last-minute preparations, you changed into another set of clothes. just on queue, you heard the door click as the clock chimed at six-o’clock. you casually made your way down the hallway, hoping this scenario would play out like you’d rehearsed in your head a million times.
when kaeya saw you standing in front of him, he stopped immediately. at first he did a double take, not thinking it was real. he’d been sleeping less— it was probably a hallucination. however, when he watched you walk towards him and cup his face in your hands, he knew it wasn’t a hallucination.
your lover wrapped his arms around your waist firmly, pulling you in for a deep kiss. it caught you off guard— although you should’ve expected a reaction like this. after being without each other for so long it’s no surprise that both of you were on the needy side.
your bodies melted against each other’s, lips moving in sync. somehow you ended up with your back against the wall, arms wrapped around his neck. kaeya’s knee slid between your legs, resting there as he took over the kiss. he would gently bite down on your bottom lip ever so often, electing a gasp out of you. testing the waters a little, he ran his tongue over your bottom lip too. you caught on and slid your tongue into the kiss too, heating up the atmosphere even more. now your tongues were brushing against each other ever so often, making the kiss a little messy at this point. messy didn’t matter right now, though. he tasted like peppermint and sweets, and his lips felt like heaven. that’s all that mattered.
“what are you doing here?” kaeya asked breathless as he pulled away from the kiss. his forehead rested against yours as you both tried to catch your breath.
“i wanted to surprise you for your birthday,” you let out a shaky laugh as you tried to regain your composure. your head was spinning right now, and your body felt like it was on fire. “i convinced my boss to let me do the rest of the trip from home. i’m here now.”
kaeya was at a loss for words. he’d been dreading his birthday for months because he’d been thinking he was going to spend it alone. he was never a fan of his birthday, but spending it without the love of his life was an even more miserable thought. however, here you were standing in front of him.
guess birthday wishes do come true afterall.
