Elizabeth
-8 years old

-music stims galore!! humming, patting her legs, bouncing to the sound of music
-likes first person shooters!! not an a "cute girl likes edgy games" way but in the way that she genuinely enjoys them! shed rlly love shooting games. shed also likes games liek stardew and animal crossing bc shed like getting to know the villagers.

-lots of energy!!! you cannot stop her!!!!!

-likes webkinz

-likes growing his hair out

some qotd answers i finally have sorted…
- he would go 2 the beach w his goddaughter… most of this would be TIDE POOLS bc she’s really interested in tide pool creatures.. they would make some bizarre seashell mosaic & hed have to throw her in the ocean upwards of 20 times. by himself i think he would show up to kick ass @ beach volleyball or football (soccer) or smth where he can yell & run around in his little springsteenesque baseball shorts. then he would monopolize the grill
- extremely insane about sauces … not a snob more like the perfectionism is dialed up to 11 he doesnt throw food away but if a batch of sauce is too bland he’ll eat the whole thing on rice or noodles or smth so no one else even gets a whiff & start over completely from scratch. nuts about soup too but not this much…what if you die and that’s the last sauce you ever ate. some sad forgettable incorrectly seasoned goop………
- do not let him drive on a road trip no matter what he says.. hes got a lead foot & road rage where the more annoyed he gets the crazier shit he pulls…but hes good on a road trip besides this he can sleep anywhere. patient. overprepared. finds cool places 2 stop & stretch your legs. will play little road games. doesnt complain about the playlist (his version is like sticking his own headphones in lol). lets people sleep on him in the backseat. brought ibuprofen
- joker question is so loaded lmao. the short version is he went back to get joker with a strong feeling he would not make it off the ship if he did & he was privately furious for a number of reasons…but he wasnt angry at joker when they reunited in 2 bc he had other problems. & then he and joker got mad at each other later after they were done being relieved :|
- he would be a nasty cunty cheating heel as a wrestler & he’d do the look of like the gay metal rockers w the makeup & tight leather & etc… or like very… billy idol . thinking of 1 outfit he wore for a few shows back in his 20s sans fishnets… black leather corsety top + boots.. & the tongue piercing ofc. And the skeleton hand <3

So🧍‍♀️my periods just started and it’s so painful and uncomfortable 😩 wish I could have someone named bokuto to make me feel better by allowing me to suck on his thumb and his dick I’m just needy for any kind of attention and my oral fixation is showing up sigh. Share some thoughts pls do you think he’d like to help? 🥺
you have no idea how much this effected me. service dom!bo is fucking beautiful. here’s some thoughts 🤍
CW: Thumb sucking, Oral (m! receiving), Daddy is said once(1!), He calls reader Pup, Tiddy sucking (i’m so sorry but omg-), i think that’s it! lmk if i missed something
Tumblr media
He notices the week prior when you start to get more clingy, as well as chew more gum or eat hard candy. He knows what’s coming up, and is it gross of him to look forward to it?
You come to him with big pleading eyes, he doesn’t even need to ask anymore. He knows what’s going through your pretty lil head the moment you’re in front of him playing with his hands.
“Aw Pup, c’mere.” The large man coos at you, pulling you into his lap. He’s a heater, emitting warmth from the closeness of your bodies. A warm hand lays against your lower stomach, rubbing soft circles. He hopes it’ll put you at ease, even a little bit.
“Have you taken any pain meds?” He’ll ask softly, sighing when you shake your head yes. If he could, he would fight the mensural cycle. How dare it put HIS baby through pain every month.
“Daddy knows what you need Pup.” His thumb reaches up and swipes across your bottom lip, a small smile pulling at the corner of his lip when your mouth opens and tongue darts out eagerly. He slowly presses his thumb into your mouth, applying pressure to your tongue. He’ll sit there as long as you need to use his finger.
But when you’re still wiggling and whining that it’s ‘not enough, still hurts.’ He pulls his thumb from your mouth, wiping it on his pants while throwing his shirt off quickly. A hand tangles into your hair softly, guiding your head towards his chest. Tits made of muscle with a layer a fat over them are waiting for your mouth.
As soon as your lips wrap around his puffy nipple his breath hitches in his throat. The hand on your stomach moving to rub soft soothing circles against your hip. He couldn’t help the soft pants and the way his cock swelled in his sweatpants.
He let you have your time with his chest, but when he looked down to see tears dotting your pretty eye lashing his heart broke. There was only one more thing that he could think of that might put you a bit at ease. With one strong arm wrapped around your center, he grabbed a pillow off the couch and leaned down to place it on the floor between his legs.
Bokuto moved you like you weighed nothing. Once you were sat between his legs, he pulled his pants down to his mid thigh. Thick cock slapping against his belly, precum spreading across the thick happy trail.
“Go ahead Pup. ‘s all yours.” He motions for you to do what you want with his cock. A warm smile pulls at his lips when you press yourself towards him, taking his cock in your mouth. Usually he’d move to fuck into your mouth, but you needed this more than he did. Hed be patient, for you.
You were his baby, and he would do anything to make you feel better.
Tumblr media
THIS IS A LOT LONGER THAN I INTENDED— BOKUTO MAKES MY WRITERS BLOCK DISAPPEAR I SWEAR.
I hope your doing okay loves! Try a warm bottle or a warm bag of rice against your tummy! I have friends that say it helps! Make sure to drink plenty of water too!
Asks/Requests: OPEN

Keys hit the table and the usual grunt of cuss words fill the living room of the shared apartment of Bakugou and his roommate [ ]. Hearing the angry blonde enter [ ] felt herself getting up as she entered into the shared living room of them “Bad day?” She asked as vermillion eyes glanced towards her concerned [ ] ones. “ ‘M fine'' The usual grunt filled the room as he pushed back past the worried girl. Frowning and used to this curt greeting of his from the last few days [ ] sighed and went back to their kitchen yelling to the blonde that she started a shower for him, getting no real response from him.
Bakugou and [ ] had an odd relationship. They started to live together because of the boys burning his kitchen on their day off when they all lived together. He told the others ‘She was the only smart one out of his dumbass friends and the only one he could trust to not burn his place down’ and with that the usual group of Sero, Denki and Kirishima moved out of his place and to the place beside him ,the group wanting to still be around the grumpy blonde. [ ] was used to coming over with Mina and the group being around before Bakugou asked her, quite aggressively one day ( Oi you're moving in with me, i'm tired of these dumbasses destroying my place on their days off of patrol) which is how they ended in this arrangement
Even with Bakugou being a handsome and very popular hero with ladies, he never had anyone over, no awkward run-ins with [ ] staying there, nothing at all. He rarely even left the house to visit the others unless he knew he had the time for it. Bakugou was dedicated , being the #2 hero he had little time for much outside of work. He refused to take brakes, no matter how much [ ] and the others tried to get him out hed huff and puff about work until he actually had fun at whatever function it was that he was dragged to so he could get fresh air
He'd been like this since highschool when she met him. Angry , confidence that was more like cockyness, a temper to be messed with, prideful and not afraid to speak his mind, good or bad. [ ] could remember from when she used to get paired with him how smart he actually was, but how he could also belittle you if you didn't realize he gave you backward compliments. She owns him over with taking him head to head on, in practice battles and in the work behind the scenes. Bakugou wouldn't admit it but [ ] kept him together, more than he let show on the outside. From bandaging him up after an intense fight, to letting him vent when he was angry ; [ ] was there for everything, his good , bad and ugly.
Hearing the showeer turn off [ ] continued to find them something to eat as the silence in the room was comforting. As dinner started she took his hero clothes to the washer, starting the load so he'd have a fresh outfit, even with him having multiples of the hero costume, he was quite fawn of the one that he had gotten during highschool, the measurements needing to be increased heavily for his now large size but that was nothing for [ ]. As a gift once he got his own agency she had repaired the old threads, even going far enough to bulking them up so they'd be less prone to ripping or shrinking. That was the one time [ ] had seen emotion flash through the stoic blonde before he thanked her, genuinely with a rare smile that blessed his face.
Soon though, she felt a presence in the room. Turing around she was met with those same vermillion eyes, this time the look in them unreadable as he stared his friend down “Yes Kasuki?” [ ] said as she turned back to the boiling pot of rice on the stove “What Are cooking?” He asked as he stood over the aisle to see what she was stirring. “Rice so far, do you want chicken, fish or beef to go with it?” She asked as she turned to the still staring blonde, his eyes wavering as she stared back at him “Are you okay Suki?” [ ] said again as he pushed himself up , crossing around the aisle before going to her side “You don't have to do this for me” He said as she ignored him “ So Chicken is fine?” “[ ], i'm not a child you don't have to keep treating me like one” Sighing the girl turned to him, seeing that he was hunched over the counter, stretching his back as she could see the pained expression as he pulled out the muscle “Sit down yeah? Consider this an early birthday present to you” [ ] said as he gave her a glare “That doesn't mean you have to constantly cook and do shit like this for me, I have two weeks before it anyway” “Katsuki, sit down and take the kindness i'm giving you and hush” Pointing with her stirring spoon [ ] shooed the now grumbling and fussing blonde away. Just a usual day in the apartment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hearing a loud cuss from the living room [ ] got up to see her roommate slump against the door, face tensed in apin as he ganced to the concerned girl “Shit, fix your face princess ‘m fine, just a bit of - fuck…- jsut soem pain is all” Reaching for the blonde [ ] helped him in, the larger male trying to hold up his weight as much as he could as she helped him to their bigger bathroom, sitting him on the toilet “Do you have any cuts or anything? Should we go to the doctor?” [ ] asked as a large hand sat over hers that went for his shirt “Im okay [ ], just some bruising and some little cuts here and there okay? Don't worry your pretty head about me” Feeling her face heat up she ignored what he said and started to help him out of his clothes, showing her a dark and slightly bloody mess of his rib cage. Wincing from the sight alone she started to lightly clean around the open wounds and surface scrapes around them. As she did he told her about the recent building that was destroyed from him using his blast too intense in one area like the villains he fought wanted him to. Another bad habit of BAkugous was beating himself up when he felt like he did poorly, which took a lot of trying to get him to let out. He would just overwork himself instead of relaxing and taking time to cool off and realize he wasn't the issue. “Any pain when I push here?” with a slight push bakugou hissed, eyes closing as she pressed deeper on his rib cage “Sorry sorry” Wrapping him up as tight as he could take [ ] stooped to look over his injuries, a frown on her lips “Stop it” Bakugou said, causing the girl to blink at him “ Stop what?” She asked as he met her eyes in the mirror “You're pouting. I'm a big boy thats what me being a hero is for i can take it , don't baby me” Her frown now deeping [ ] pushed his shoulder “Well you need a break , last week you were babying your shoulder now your ribs, im calling you in sick” Growling Bakugou went to sat something until he saw her face ; fear. She was afraid one night he wouldn't come home, that it would be the others telling her he was gone permanently. With a deep sigh he reached for her hand, pulling her back to him as he gave her a hug. Concerned and trying to come to her racing heart she looked up to those deep eyes of his, the same concert starting to fill them “ [ ]...i'll take the week off it makes you happy and rest, I’ll be okay alright? Just...please..I dont want to disappoint the one person who helps me even when im stupid and tells me what i need to hear without just agreeing with me” Shocked at his words all [ ] could do was rub his arm and bury her face in his warm chest, inhaling the smell of smoke and burnt caramel from his skin “Oi princess..” He rasped out as she just hummed , not moving from her spot. With ease the still injured blonde picked her up effortlessly and placed her on the sink, causing her to cry out. Slowly he let his hands trace her face, their eyes studying the other as he pressed his forehead to hers “Thank you..for dealing with me” He whispered against her lips as they slowly closed the gap between them, lips sealing in a soft peck. As soon as it happened it was over, Bakugou pulled away before he got too invested. Biting his bottom lip he gave her a lopsided smile, heading to his bedroom
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
4/20, The day of the birthday boy Katsuki rolled in a lot faster than he thought it would. Sitting up slowly he looked around his dark room, the bright light of 2:00 am mocking him as he got up to go to his kitchen. Seeing [ ] humped over at the computer sparked the explosion heros curiosity. Finishing his glass of water she came over to her, seeing that she had one last piece of paper in her hands that strangely looked like….
“Are those my reports?” a deep voice rumbled out. Letting out a screech [ ] jumped, turning in the swiveling chair to an almost adorable sight. A shirtless and sleepy Bakugou was rubbing his eyes as he let himself focus on her “Uhm...well yeah they are. They're all done now!” [ ] said as she gave him a wide smile whined the blondes' frowns deeped “You did all of my paperwork?” He said in disbelief as she looked at her hands , picking at her hand “Well yeah...I wanted you to have a non stressful birthday” She admitted as he scoffed , getting closer to her as he wrapped his arms around her neck and the top of the chair “You're so sweet...too good for me….” He grumbled as he hid his face in the nervous girl's neck. Gasping as she felt his hot lips kiss the junction of her neck she couldn't help but lean over more . letting him absentmindedly kiss her all over her shoulder and neck, little ‘Thank yous’ spilling from the tired man's lips. Still following his same path he worked his way up to her cheek, basking in the little laugh she let out as he nuzzled under her chin. Slowly what happened a few days ago repeated itself, they were face to face as his still sleep swarming eyes stared back at her curious ones. Tapping her bare leg from her seat she moved as he took her by the arm to his room. Hearing her heart in her ears [ ] sucked in a breath as he flopped on his luxury bed, making grabby hands at the standing girl. Giggling [ ] crawled in the bed with him as he pulled her on top of him “[ ]....” He groaned as she looked at him. Licking his lips as whispering Bakugou spoke “ I really like you...You and shitty hair dont have to do much for me all i want is you…” He said as she gave him a wide eyed look, not sure she heard him right “Yeah im finally admitting it...ive had a crush on you for a while...i never noticed it until Shitty hair called me out for having a worse mood when that good for nothing vibrating little shit tried to steal you from me at the banquet” As the comfortable silence filled the room he spoke up again “ And i really...wanna kiss you….but im scared you wouldn't like me back...after all these years of dealing with my shit and how i can be...your like a godsend to me..” As he opened his eyes to her he was surprised to feel her lips press against his , full and warm. Slowly he wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her in his lap as they kissed more and more, the kiss becoming deeper as she pulled away, whispering a soft ‘ I love you’ as he kissed her again until they drifted to sleep in eachothers arms.

I can't think of anything in particular, but can I get a bit of fluffy hinata content? not too picky, just wanna giggle about it :)
reee okay!! ive never really written anything for hinata but i’ll try my best for you honey <3
so I think if anything; you would be hinata’s first relationship and he would do everything he can to make you happy :((
sweet boy would stumble over his words trying to ask you to come to practice games but would show off all of his moves the minute you step into the gym, going extra hard with all his plays while you wave over and smile— poor kagyema gonna get over worked 😔 hinata swears you’re his lucky charm after you start coming to official matches and wear his number on your cheeks or clothes, he plays super well when you’re around :(
after a while you start bringing snacks to his practices, feeding hinata while he takes breaks and make sure he drinks enough water 🥺 hed look at you with literal heart eyes every time you tell him to open up so you can scoop in whatever you’ve made him to eat. the boys on the team, especially tsuki and kags would probably tease him for it until they get hold of a piece and then the whole team are begging you to make them lunches for their future games :(
but hinata clings to you with a pouty huff and some rice on his cheek saying you’re only allowed to cook for him n him only because you told him the snacks are made with love and you’re supposed to love only him <3

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media

word count: 2.3k

part three of landing in my heart
landing in my heart information
Tumblr media
“what did you just say?”
“i would appreciate if you put the gun away from my fiancee”
“she belongs to division 11. and for those who doesnt know, shes unable to release her personal information. now if you mind, my fiancee is exhausted from her recent mission she came back from” jisung told everybody. on point, your body falls onto jisung’s shoulders, acting as if you were actually exhausted.
jisung takes you to his property till you two are out of sight until jisung clears his throat. “you can let go now” without hesitation, you let go and immediately asks whats division 11 is all about. telling you everything, you enter the house with jisung trailing behind you.
jisung takes you to his property till you two are out of sight until jisung clears his throat. “you can let go now” without hesitation, you let go and immediately asks whats division 11 is all about. telling you everything, you enter the house with jisung trailing behind you.
jisung offers you a cup of water and telling you to drink it to calm down. you gladly accept it as he takes a deep breath. “house inspections happens randomly, but i didnt expect it to happen today. im sorry”
“well, im sure you were equally surprised by it too, so no worries. and you showed up on perfect timing too” you smiled at him, drinking the water then looking around. “by the way, are you hurt? are you okay?” jisung asks while hes checking up on you for any hurt wounds. looking up and making eye contact, you see how his eyes were full of worry. shaking you head a no, you smile at him and was distrubed by knocks on jisungs gates.
“captain han! are you there?!”
jisung goes to open the door and sees the village women, who had heard about the news about you and offers him food. feeling like he couldnt hold any plates, they offer him to help him and take it into the house until you appear behind him.
“o-oh! nice to meet you, captain han’s fiancee” one of the women says. greeting them back, you grab one of the plate full of food from jisung. before you two could go, they ask you where your last mission was, what was it about and how was it. expecting to answer all their questions, you replied as “im sorry, i cant have my information out there”. the women gasp, shocked at they way you talked to them.
jisung tells them to go home and have a good night. doing what theyre told, they walked away and you close the gate. “is captain han really in love with her?” “is this a one-sided love?” “look at her hair, it looks so messy!” hearing all the comments they made about you made you stop your tracks, as long as jisung. gritting you teeth in annoyance, you two continued to go inside the house and ate the food they made for you two.
as you two got ready for bed, jisung made you sleep in the living room as he slept in his room. talking though the closed door, you asked him if he ever went to switzerland. “sorry if im being nosy. but i saw piano sheets and an application form from switzerland. did you have a girlfriend that you would play the piano to?” with no response from him, you drifted to sleep.
Tumblr media
after the years go by, yiseo is back in pyongyang. passing the gates, yiseo bumps into minseok, who smiles at her and lets her go first. yiseo smiles back and proceeds until she sees her uncle, myeongseok. “ah, look at my yiseo. you lost a lot of weight during your studies in russia.”
“damn, its always the north korean women who have the best taste” minseok tells himself, but as his bodyguard hears him, he tells them to be careful of what he says. minseok then tells him he will pay him an extra 10,000 won if hed stop nagging him, but hell pay minseok 10,000 won if he nags to him again.
as yiseo and myeongseok stops at their car outside the airport, she realized what happened to the other car. “uncle, wheres the other car?” she asks. “oh, i had to lend it to jisung” “are you going to pick it up or is he bringing it back here” “im sure i can go there and pick it up after my recital tomorrow” “huh?! are you sure? i didnt even mention you were coming back to him because he never asks about you” “what kind of woman doesnt remember her fiance?”
Tumblr media
the coal mine.
cheolgang enters the coal mine and enters the wire-trapper room after greeting his soldiers. the soldiers gets up from their seats and salutes cheolgang. “ive seen you all work hard, thank you”. manbok hears cheolgang and immediately salutes him. cheolgang tells manbok to follow him into the back exit.
“sir, what brings you all the way here?” manbok asks. “ri muyeok’s brother is now in the outpost. so i need you to wire his house. theres a women in there and im using it to ruin his family” as cheolgang finishes. manbok gets flashbacks about jisung’s brother.
7 years ago.
“you see, my little brother is studying in switzerland right now” muyeok says in the car with another soldier. “mmhm, hes a piano genius with a full scholarship. but everytime i call him, hes always sorry. maybe its because one of us had to follow our dads path” muyeok replies. “did you wanted to be on the piano path?” “nah, i wasnt into it as jisung was so i took this path” the soldier nods his head. “but he told me when he gets back, he’ll play a song for me, so im excited for that. i bet itll put me in a happy mood”
Tumblr media
manbok, who listens to their conversation, helping cheolgang with his favor; killing muhyeok. telling where the driver to go, they collied with muyeoks vehicle. hearing the crashing noises made manbok go numb.
everyones outside the village, looking though jisung’s car, full of excitement. eavesdropping from the gate, jisung comes behind you and tells you hes leaving. “wait let me walk you out. so those women can see what i actually look like since it was dark outside” “no, theres no time for that. also, here. tie it up” jisung gives you a handkerchief. “tie what up?” jisung turns you around and ties your hair up, securing it with a double knot.
heading out of the gate together, you pretended to play the good wife and walked jisung out of the house. before he could leave your sight, you grabbed his wrist and told him to pat you hair, as if you two were being real about your engagement. he then pats your house as everyone is disgusted at your actions. you then tell him to wave at you in which he did. waving at him back, he turns around and heads to the base, bowing at people.
the village women from last night shows up to jisungs house after bad talking about you, inviting for a kimchi battle, you refuse.
back at the base, all soldiers are in an array. “hwang hyunjin, lee felix, kim seungmin, and yang jeongin. all of you but the four of you, head to the shooting range”
with everyone gone but the five of them, they meeting in jisung’s office. “so what did you tell them” hyunjin asks. “i told them shes my fiancee” everyone gasp loudly. “guys just be quiet right now. we just need a plan for her to get back on the boat”
Tumblr media
as the four men walk to jisungs house as jisung himself goes to where the accident happened. as he talks to the soldier that was the guard for the place couldnt see what exactly happened since it was dark but he took note on how empty the cargo was and how the front the truck had armor. a very sharp armor.
in south korea, sehyeong calls the people who are helping him track down minseok, telling them to go to the places where he think hes hiding at. at the family meeting, both sehyeong and sejun continue to fight over who would be the next heir. sanga recommends the la vie en rose should be over if your disappearance is longer than expected.
in the village, you can see how hard life is as a north korean. telling the boys that youre off into the house to get potatoes, you noticed a little boy stealing one of the jackets. as the boys saw, they quickly ran towards the little boy and manages to stop him, as a bag of rice falls off of his pocket. “let me go! i need to feed my sister who hasnt eaten in 3 days and because of that, she cant open her eyes!”
making everyone come back to the house, you grabbed food from the cupboards as hyunjin is speaking nonsense. “you really act like this is your own house. youre giving away food thats not even yours to some boy whos lying” after putting the food into a tote bag, as well as a small blanket, youre stopped as you see jisung. “captain han! hes faking it!” hyunjin yells out. “no im not!”
“shut up hyunjin” you shut him up. jisung tells the little boy to wash his face and hands before eating so that he can prevent getting sick. after he washes he face and hands, he runs towards his little sister, who is sleeping alone under cardboard and a small sheet covering it. finally happy to feed his sister.
after that is finished, everyone gathers around and spends time with you before you leave tonight. “okay everyone! today i will give you awards to claim once we meet again” “awards!? are you a general or something?-” “and the first award goes to yang jeongin !” you say as you cut off hyunjin. “now you have two choices. you can use your prize as we see each other again or get it now. when we meet, youll get 100 million won, or get 8 corn now” “ill get the corn!”
“second prize goes to lee felix! your prize when we meet again is have lunch with jiwoo or get the tv right there” you pointed to jisungs tv. “look-” “dont worry, hell pick the first one” you whisper back to jisung. “ill pick the first one” felix gets up and claims his award.
“third one goes to the most handsome is ... kim seungmin!” jisung looks at you with disbelief. “you can have a blind date with miss korea or any award youd like” “ill choose none” nodding you head, you agreed seungmin is like the boys in south korea.
“okay thats all-” “wait what about me” hyunjin asks. “seriously? fine here, have this shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash” as you threw him the bag full of the products jisung got you earlier. “what the- captain han you really bought her this?!” “she said it was essentials”
after announcing the awards and coming to the end, jisung gets up as jealousy is on him, and goes out of the house. following him behind, you take him to your thank you gift for him; tomatoes after giving the seller half of jisungs potato sack since you didnt have any money. however, jisungs not impressed since he doesnt like tomatoes and doesnt properly treat it well. “whatever, just water it and say 10 nice things to it”
the night comes and everything leads to the end. the 4 men are back, eating corn on the mountain near the base with the moon shinning on them. “i feel sad now” jeongin speaks, stopping the silence. “after all the complications, its now the end”
you and jisung go inside the car jisung borrowed from myeonseok. heading to the dock where youre finally going home. taking off the handkerchief jisung gave you for you hair and folding it, you put it in the middle. “thank you for everything. i mean it” you told him. “we wont see each other again, right?” “probably” jisung answers. “its such a shame that you live here.” “its a shame that you live there” you chuckled at his joke, creating silence in the car once again.
parking the car near the deck, felix’s dad comes out of his boat as you two walk out. giving him the ticket, he asks if its just you. “no, the two of us. ill return after she is on the other boat” jisung says as you widen your eyes at him.
going onto the boat and sailing into the middle of the ocean. “since we probably wont see each other again, my name is yoon y/n” jisung looks at you with sincere eyes. “my name is han jisung” jisung smiles.
“ah, im a member of the haeju yoon clan. haeju is in north korea right?” “im a member of hanju han clan” “the irony!” both of you laugh, making jisung feeling happy after a while.
suddenly, a flash a light flashed the boat. “stop the boat!” yelled the other boat who was trailing behind felix’s dads boat. you and jisung hid under the boat as the boat was stopped. the police were investigating the boat. “were here to see your honesty and see if youre trading goods or smuggling humans to other countries” “why would i do that?” the police stomps on the blue hallow board, which was where you and jisung were hiding.
“open up!” was what you both heard underneath. “jisung! what do we do?! youre a soldier you should know what to do. geez” you silently yelled out. “in south korean dramas-” “what?! this is no time to talk about this” you freaked out. “im going to do something. now look at me and dont be startled. look at me and nothing else”
with that, jisung slams his lips into yours as the door opened.
Tumblr media
additional ending:
after you leave jisung alone with the tomato plant, jisung bends down and tells 10 nice words.
“sunshine, happiness, rose, friends, breeze, cheekies, family, flowers, love, and piano”

Hi! May I have hcs for eating with giyuu and muichiro? thankss!!
Tumblr media
Muichiro
He’s most likely a messy eater but at the same time not?? 
He stares off into space a lot so he’s not always paying attention when he eats
Sometimes he hovers his food over his plate and doesnt realize he stopped eating
That or he misses his mouth
Or even funnier to see he stops eating as it gets to his mouth
He wouldnt mind if you fed him
Kinda spoilers but
After he regains his memories i feel like sinces hes less of a space cadet hed definitely be a messy eater
Just eating and eating cause Food
You gotta wipe his mouth sometimes
Although he wouldnt mind it at all if you fed him huhu
Absolutely would enjoy if you made him food
Doesnt really have a particular fave food but if he was ask
“[Name’s] food”
“Thats not a type of-”
“[Name’s] food.”
“O ok..”
He just likes it when you cook for him
Tumblr media
Giyuu
Definitely a messy eater
Not the messiest but definitely messy
If you wanted to you could feed him too but he much prefers to eat on his own but wouldnt be against it
Wipe his face often cause most likely has rice or whatever food hes eating on his face
Feeling confident? You could probably get the food off his face by eating it, licking it, whatever you want and fluster him a bit
Sometimes you just gotta watch him eat
Not in a weird way but especially when hes eating salmon daikon
He smiles so bright its blinding
And also very endearing
He will notice if you stare too much and think its a similar situation to what shinobu had with him
He might turn away from you trying to hide his smile 
But if you keep trying get a look at his smile he’ll eventually ask 
“why are you trying to look at me…isn’t my smile gross..”
He’ll be pouting when hes saying this 
You gotta reassure him you dont think his smile is gross At All
Maybe ask him where he got the idea his smile is gross?? If he tells you cause shinobu was getting sick looking at his smile youll have to have a talk with her later (maybe.. she kinda scary)
He wont believe you for a bit if you tell him you like seeing him smile and thats why you were staring but if you start getting embarrassed at admitting that he’ll believe you meant it but not believe it himself
also loves it when you cook for him
specially if its salmon daikon
you make him salmon daikon and hes even more in love with you

Wolf + Yayoi + Akiyama :)
this is seriously ill im sorry
Wolf
First Impression: well he seems neat <3
Impression Now: he's very soft and kind.. <3 and very cool very nice man i love you wolf
Favorite Moment: the whole rice thing b/t the divine child and him and kuro, this isnt a moment but i enjoy how he speaks to people he makes me (: 
Idea for a Story: I'd like to see him first meeting Kuro ^__^ that would be cute.. or how he grew up w Owl bc it seems so … … … well anyway he has a lot of cool background that would be fun to explore 
Unpopular Opinion: i think people draw him smiling too much in some interactions i dont want him to even remotely have a sense of humor or even emote well tbqh, not that i think hes unhappy or anything but like well … + also people are freaks w him but that's another story.. i dont think he would date grandpas
Favorite Relationship: kuro <3 it's cute how he actually engages in conversation w Kuro i like how he talks w him and how Kuro talks w him it's nice.. i think his relationship w Owl is interesting but not . good. Emma + Isshin + Sculptor & every other friend he meets i enjoy esp Kotaro ^^
Headcanon: *gives him transgenderism + autism + homosexuality*, selectively mute (:, he also just has a general issue w socializing & when he doesnt know what to say he defaults to repeating people or just ignoring people, he likes being called Wolf by like Kuro and whoever but Isshin deciding to call him Sekiro makes him feel a little something (:, he can "cook" + knows lots of misc skills like sewing and stuff, doesnt like loud noises, doesn't like being in water -_-, i think he has trouble differentiating b/t what he likes v what he dislikes bc hes used to just putting up w things and never really got to acquire preferences ever hes accustomed solely to survival, he's done kuro's hair for him before <3 but he does it very quick and messy but he tries 
Yayoi
First Impression: ig this is her k1 substory idk i just kind of like . wow this lady seems cool ig goodbye 
Impression Now: … hi <3 she holds a very very special place in my heart now i miss her everyday please babygirl come back to me i need you back ive written out how you can come back please 
Favorite Moment: her k1 substory always makes me sad um.. everything in k2 when shes taking charge.. i love watching her interact w kiryu they have a really interesting relationship.. i like when she got on ryuji for his bullshit and i really really like her introduction in k2 i love watching her handle shitty lieutenants <3 i love you.. oh also whenever she looks sad + worries over daigo thank you for being a mom ma'am <3
Idea for a Story: um i have a lot of stuff already written for her bc im a sicko .. um ig most interesting to me is how her relationship w dojima developed & also what she was up to when dojima died and daigo went to prison right after bc i think about that period (+k1 substory) a lot.. </3 seeing what she was doing in 3 when daigo was shot would be nice iwant her to be homophobic to mine i think <3 ik a rggo event covered it but id like to see more of her when she stepped up to he acting chairman & how that went ig more in depth.. or just her general role w the dojima family back when it was relevant and uh yeah <3 
Unpopular Opinion: um i personally would never call her a milf that feels so :x idek to me gross almost not even bc im a homo or anything i just never would it feels too disrespectful aieeeeeee 🙈 also i wish people didn't care for her just as daigos mom or her being more compotent than daigo or whatever idk people are weird about them in a stupid way and i </3 ik shes just a side character but whatever.. also i hate everyone who writes her like "yes i married dojima for power and i crave violence" fuck you im the only right person ever 
Favorite Relationship: um daigo.. i have lots of thoughts they are so nice together ilove them very much <3 kiryu and kashiwagi are very cute w her too they respect her very much its sweet <3 i think nishiki and kiryu helping out w daigo as dojima members when daigo is little has very sweet potential b/t lady dojima and them not saying they outright would be seeking for a maternal figure but um.. also well kashiwagi uhh well i want her to move past her [k2] baggage and um.. um.. 🙈 boyfriend 
Headcanon: she's so bisexual shes very very bisexual and she knows it and no part of it even concerns her shes just bi + also her first major crush was on a girl that went nowhere and it embarrasses her to death <3, her dad is who introduced her to wielding a sword it was a very unorthodox introduction and came about by kind of bittersweet means but she very much enjoys it (he didnt teach her anything more than the very very shoddy basics he really just helped introduce), she comes from a very non-traditional [japanese] family, really bad vanity issues i wont publicly elaborate on, um something about dealing w loneliness, she was like daigo and was top of her class in school, she comes off as prett7 different outside of professional settings + acts a lot colder and meaner than she actually is around work people bc that's the only way she thinks she'll be taken seriously, she was a very excited first time mommy <3 she still loves daigo more than anything, she used to sporadically grow her hair out and chop it all off and grow her hair out and chop it all off growing up mostly as a teen -_-, she doesnt socialize well but shes good at parroting and imitating proper social etiquette,  she has an "older sister", she loved kiryu and then she hated him more than anything and now she likes him again, perfectionist but a lot of things come naturally to her, not very expressive but her eyes give away a lot, she used to really like kazama very fondly until she didnt, shes not much of a hand-to-hand combat fighter but she can handle self defense, cooking does not come naturally to her ):, shes kept every gift + prize daigo has gotten for her, shes not much for gifts (from people not daigo) but she likes flowers 
Akiyama

Headcanon: hes the least athletic i think that's canon though, tried to keep a fish tank in the office but hana ended up taking over + then getting rid of it but by then he wanted an office cat or bird or something "more interesting" so that hed feel like taking care if it but by that point she put her foot down on animals, tries out lots of misc hobbies that he eventually drops (golf, tennis(very embarrassing), gardening, etc (mostly sports bc he feels like a lazy piece of shit sometimes + gets splurges of Yeah Fitness!!!)), all kinds of math teams and etc growing up he actually really likes math, has a lot of gifts he chickened out on giving hana just kind of buried in the office, bad at video games, can't cook, he buys lots of cheap things bc he doesnt really see the point of splurging on fancy unnecessary stuff, magazine hoarder bc he just picks up whatever for a mindless read when at the store and forgets if he's gotten it before

Like we start ttotbt SO STRONG!!!!! lestat is struggling post akasha experience, as anyone would expect. It was deeply traumatic!! He isolates himself, his emotions are all over the place, hes imagining things, he tries to unalive himself. So it makes sense that when this opportunity comes up to be human again, hed take it!! This is an opportunity to start over! It's like he can undo all the bad things that happened to him! It's like he can erase everything he hates abt himself and his life and his body! It's like he can be good again, like he always wanted to be!! And if it doesnt work out, it seems like the perfect way to self-destruct. Then he gets very obviously duped and taken advantage of and is turned human and left to rot. And then of course at this point we dive off the deep end, but in my ideal world, this is where he returns to Louis to beg for help and they try to get lestat's body back all while working through his emotional issues and helping him process what he went through in the last book. And in the end, he gets the opportunity to realize that despite the things he went through and how they changed him or made him feel, his family still loves him and he also gets to realize that he can be good and feel good abt himself as a vampire too and his humanity doesnt decide his worth. But anne rice isnt a good enough writer and isnt emotionally aware enough to write a book like that, so instead lestat just ??? Wreaks almost unspeakable havoc on every single person he comes into contact w and then suffers no consequences for it and learns basically jack shit.

Worry
Park Jisung x Reader
For @95svmin <3
Summary: Y/n is suffering on their period and their boyfriend, Jisung, worries about them ^_^
Genre: Fluff :D
Word Count: 1,304
Warnings: Some swearing; excessive blushing??
A/N: I guess I can only write period drabbles sorry uwu (but I’m gonna try to make this one more than just dialogue hehe). Oh also the descriptions of period symptoms are gonna be based on my own personal experiences
<~~>
“Whoa you look like a raccoon.” “Thank you for your astute observation Mr. Park; now kindly fuck off.”
Y/n had just arrived at the movie theater they had agreed to meet at for their weekly date, and, true to their boyfriend, Jisung’s words, they looked remarkably similar to a trash panda.
“I came out here to have a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now,” Jisung slapped an arm across his chest, a look of fake offense playing on his face.
“That’s such an old meme I can’t believe you,” Y/n giggled, pressing their hand to their forehead in an all-too literal face-palm at their boyfriend’s antics.
Grabbing Jisung’s hand with an amused sigh, Y/n dragged him up to the counter to purchase tickets for whichever movie would be playing soonest.
At the concessions stand a few minutes later, Y/n suddenly shot out a hand to grasp at the counter, their face screwed up into a tight expression of agony.
“Holy shit Y/n are you okay? What’s going on?” “I’m fine” Y/n attempted to console their distraught boyfriend, their smile more of a grimace. His arms still flailing in concerned confusion, Jisung turned to the employee behind the counter to order a large popcorn and 2 slushies. Y/n sighed in relief as their boyfriend seemed to be willing to drop the issue. “Let’s go find our seats!” <~~>
Jisung jerked in surprise as he felt a sudden weight drop onto his shoulder. Looking over to investigate the situation, he found that his date had fallen dead asleep in the middle of the movie. Unsure of what to do, Jisung did his best to gently shake them awake with his dinner plate-sized hands. Y/n’s head shot up in surprise, a sheepish look crossing their face after the situation made itself clear to them.
“Oh my god I’m so sorry Jisung! I didn’t mean to fall asleep on you,” they whispered earnestly, still managing to convey their embarrassment with their frazzled tone of voice despite the low volume compared to the dramatic audio of the movie still showing on the big screen.
“No no it’s fine” Jisung shook his head and hands frantically. “I’m just...worried about you. You looked so tired earlier and-” “SHH!” a voice from the row in front of them spoke up, shushing the young couple into an awkward silence. Despite his embarrassment, Jisung still managed to throw his partner a look that clearly meant ‘we’ll continue this later.’ <~~>
Continuing their date at Y/n’s house, the two sat with a couple feet’s distance between them on the couch. Despite having been friends for years before getting together, neither Jisung nor Y/n really knew how to act in a romantic relationship. Fidgeting nervously with his hands, Jisung broached the subject of the conversation hed began at the movie theater.
“Sooo” he began, “are you okay? You seemed really tired earlier and you even fell asleep during the movie, which isn’t like you because normally you like to pay attention to the details so you can criticize it later and-” “Jisung-” Y/n tried to interrupt. “I just don’t really know what to do you know I get so awkwa-” Jisung powered on. “JISUNGIE!” At that, Jisung finally looked up from his hands that he had been wringing together as he ranted.
“I’m okay, Sung; I’m used to feeling this way.” Y/n’s words appeared to have the opposite of their desired comforting affect as Jisung’s eyes grew wide in shock.
“You’re used to feeling this way?! What’s that supposed to mean? Is somebody hurting you? I may be weak but I’m tall and I’ll hunt down whoever it is an-” “NO! no Jisung I just meant that, well,” a look of embarrassment crossed Y/n’s face as they tried to find the words to explain their situation. “I just got my period last night before I went to bed, and my cramps are always the worst on the first couple of days, so I couldn’t sleep very well last night and then at the movies today, I got hit by a really strong wave of pain. My poor night’s sleep last night explains why I fell asleep during the movie” they spit out quickly, looking anywhere but at their boyfriend’s face. Jisung looked relieved, which wasn’t what Y/n had been expecting. “So you’re not being beat up?”
Y/n couldn’t help the laugh that bubbled past their lips. “No Jisungie, I’m not being hurt by anything other than my uterus.”
With a shy smile, Jisung reached across the couch to grasp their hand lightly in his own, before a small frown twisted across his expression. Seemingly gathering himself before he spoke, Jisung’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as he thought for a moment before once again opening his mouth.
“But...why didn’t you tell me? We could've watched a movie here so you didn’t have to worry about going out while in so much pain, and then I could take care of you!” Y/n’s blush that had finally faded suddenly came back in full force as they unconsciously began to fiddle with Jisung’s fingers.
“I didn’t want to bother you. And besides, that movie was only in theaters; we wouldn’t have been able to see it if we hadn’t gone out!” Y/n explained themselves. “I guess that makes sense, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t still worried” Jisung pouted, gently tugging his partner closer to him on the sofa. “Just don’t do it again, yeah? I wanna be able to help you, y’know? I really- I really care about you.” “I really care about you too” Y/n whispered with a grin. Turning to face Y/n, Jisung blurted out “Now that I know what’s bothering you, is there anything I can do to help? I could make tea or I could find that one chocolate I know you like or-” “Jisung!” Y/n exclaimed with a giggle for what felt like the 10th time that day; their boyfriend really was too cute. “While you’re offering, I left my rice bag (A/N: basically a heat pack full of rice that you microwave) in my room. Could you go get it and put it in the microwave for 2 and a half minutes?” they requested. Hopping up immediately, Jisung bounded over to the door to Y/n’s bedroom, yelling “Of course!” over his shoulder as he ran.
Approximately 2 minutes and 30 seconds later, Jisung gently settled the pleasantly warm mass over Y/n’s aching abdomen, a sigh escaping their lips at the feeling.
“Thank you Sungie” they breathed out with a more relaxed smile than he’d seen all afternoon. This time, the one with the blush was Jisung as he accepted their thanks. He attempted to carefully drape his arm around Y/n’s shoulder, but ended up knocking his arm into the back of their head.
“Oh my god Y/n I am so sorry!” he exclaimed, one hand gently cradling Y/n’s head in his hand placating. “Aw fuck; I can't believe you’ve done this,” they attempted to recreate the accent of the vine, giggling uncontrollably when they inevitably failed.  Jisung quickly joined them in their laughter, glad that Y/n wasn’t hurt by his accidental actions.
“What do you say I pull up some vine compilations, and whoever does the worst impressions of them has to go to the convenience store around to corner and buy snacks?” Y/n said, already opening up YouTube. “I say ‘youre on!!’” Jisung exclaimed, a grin breaking through his ‘serious’ game face that he’d adopted in response to Y/n’s challenge. Later, with wrappers all around them on the sofa from the snacks Jisung bought for them (even though Y/n was the one who lost the competition), Y/n leaned over to press an innocent kiss to their boyfriend’s squishy cheek. “Thank you for worrying and taking care of me, Sungie.”

Building Better Relationships
Tumblr media
When you create a relationship with an agent, editor, or publisher, very often you’re going into a long-term relationship. Some authors even compare it to a marriage. Your agent and publisher will want you to maintain fidelity with them—and unless the relationship is in trouble, you probably should.
Think of it this way. They’re your business partners. It isn’t right for you to ask them to make huge investments of time, effort, and money into your career and then just walk away from them, anymore than it would be right for them to do the same to you.
So when you begin courting agents and publishers, try to plan for the long term.
I wrote an article last week about agents—about the weaknesses that some of them have. There are fake agents, dishonest agents, wannabe agents, crippled agents, and so on. If you’re looking for an agent, you want to avoid those.
In fact, what you’re looking for is an honest agent who has solid ties with editors in the genre that you’re writing in and one who
Understands how to help you create a viable career path
Works hard
Has solid relationships with foreign literary agents, film agents, and audiobook companies
Is honest
Puts you at the top of his or her client list
This last point might need a little explanation. It’s the nature of a literary agent to specialize in a genre that he/she loves and understands. For example, if I am a fan of thrillers, then I’m going to want to read and sell manuscripts from that genre. Over time, I might develop a hundred writers as clients. But which one of them will I push the hardest? Well, I will push the author that I most believe in.
You as an author, want to be your agent’s superstar. You want to become the client that your agent most believes in.
The same is true with publishers. A publisher might sell the works of fifty horror writers, but they have only one Stephen King, one “superlead” author. Your goal as a writer is to become your publisher’s superlead, and you can only do that if you turn in work of very high quality on a regular basis.
So, when you’re looking to build a long-term relationship with a major publisher, you need to look for a large publisher, one who hopefully has a superlead position available in the near future, and then you go to work. You need to pick your agent in much the same way.
How do you find your agent, your editor, or publisher? Here is the way that I recommend: Go to www.publishersmarketplace.com and buy a membership. This is a service similar to Publisher’s Weekly, but it puts out publishing news on a daily basis. Once you buy a membership—which currently runs about $25 per month—you can look on the menu bar to the right and click on the “Top Dealmaker’s” section.
A prompt will ask you, “Do you want to look for publishers, editors, or agents?” Your answer should be publishers. You need to research the best publishers before you start looking for an editor or agent.
The program will bring up a list of the top publishers in the field, and this is a great place to start doing research. You want to make sure that each publisher is doing more than just buying books. You want to be sure that they are promoting and selling well, too. Your research will require you to go to bookstores and check out your future publisher’s displays. You’ll also want to read marketing reports on them to find out where they fit in the hierarchy of publishers. You’ll want to study their contracts and perhaps even talk to some of their authors.
Once you know who you want your publishers to be, begin ranking them from one to ten. If you go beyond about #8, you’re going too far. In any genre, there are only a few really great ones.
Now that you have a grasp of who your publishers should be, you can look at the editors for each publisher. Which ones are actually buying right now? Study their web pages and find out what their tastes are. The folks at publishersmarketplace will actually show you a list of each book that the editor has bought, and you can study those books to research the editor’s tastes and find out if you’re a good fit. For example, if you have an editor who has only ever purchased books with female protagonists and you’re writing about a male protagonist, you will find that it might be a very tough to make a sale to her.
Only after you have chosen your publisher and your potential editors should you pick an agent. You want one who has a good relationship with the editors that you want to sell to. You also want one who can command a decent advance, and when you are researching what novels that agents have sold, you’ll see how much they sold them for.
Armed with that information, you can begin researching the agents now, reading their web pages, looking at articles they’ve written, and talking to their clients.
ONLY after you have done this research should you approach an agent.  If you follow these steps, you can avoid all of the pitfalls that tend to derail a young author’s career for five or ten years, and get yourself on the tracks to success.

Drawing on the Power of Resonance in Writing is available for $2.99 on Amazon Kindle, and free with kindle unlimited. You can read chapter 1 here as a preview for the novel. If you are interested in reading more, you can buy the book on Amazon here.
Chapter 1
What is Resonance?
In the field of music, a musical refrain is said to “resonate” when it “draws power by repeating that which has come before.” Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony is a masterpiece of resonance, and it is so well known that you may be able to listen to it in your head from memory:
Da, da, da, dum.
Da, da, da, dum. . . .
In case you can’t play it in your head, you can find the symphony online.
As you listen to the symphony, you’ll hear how Beethoven starts with a simple theme, repeating the same four notes twice, and then he has a change-up and expands upon that theme. He does this dozens of times, coming up with variation after variation, eventually seeming to abandon the theme altogether.
Indeed, a few minutes into the symphony there is a shocking moment where we realize that we have come full circle. Beethoven returns to the original theme, playing louder and more boldly than before. In music, when a refrain gains power by repeating something that has gone before, we say that it resonates.
But the same thing happens in literature. We feel powerful emotions when we read a book that somehow resembles other works that we love. For example, you may read a new author and discover that the author’s world is similar to one that you’ve visited in literature and loved before. If you’re a fan of the pirating world in Treasure Island, you might find that you really like Tim Powers’s On Stranger Tides. You’ll almost instantly feel a great affinity for Tim’s work.
In a similar way, a tale may also resonate when it evokes powerful emotions by drawing upon the reader’s own past experience. For example, a woman who has been divorced may read a passage in a novel and realize, “Wow, this author has really been through it, too. We really do have a lot in common.”
There are literally hundreds of ways to create resonance—through voice, tone, characterization, imagery, setting, or simply by referring to popular works, by bringing common experiences to life, and so on.
To the reader, a story that resonates powerfully may seem especially significant or rich—much more so than a tale that doesn’t resonate.
Readers often become fans of a genre after discovering one defining work in that genre. When I was a teen, I read Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. I enjoyed the book so much that I began looking for similar titles. At the time, there was no such thing as a “fantasy genre,” but I hungered for books like Lord of the Rings. I wanted to recreate the experience of reading it. So I tried Ursula K. LeGuin’s The Wizard of Earthsea, Patricia McKillip’s The Riddlemaster of Hed, and Fritz Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, among hundreds of other works.
Eventually, when I ran out of fantasy novels to read, I began to write my own. A Wizard in Halflight, one of my first tales, which I started writing at the age of 17, told the exploits of a young boy going to a high school to study wizardry.
Each time that I read a good fantasy, I found some new little nugget in the fantasy genre that seemed delicious to me. By doing so, I gained a deeper and broader appreciation for the genre as a whole.
You’re much the same. Whatever your favorite genre is, you can probably trace your love for it back to one single book that really moved you.
Many people became vampire fans as children by watching old horror movies. Later they expanded upon this by reading Anne Rice. You may have loved Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When Stephenie Meyer came out with Twilight, she played upon the works that preceded her, but she also expanded upon the genre in such a way that she brought in an entire new generation of readers. With that, vampire fiction took off to unprecedented heights in popularity, and suddenly we had a piece of Twilight fan fiction, 50 Shades of Grey, become a hit.
Do you see how the genre grows in leaps from a base of fans? Each succeeding work is like a mushroom, rising up from the remains of what grew before.
So readers of romance might begin in high school by reading Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, go on to Jane Eyre, and begin developing a taste for romance. Very often, readers of romance will fall in love with books set in a particular historical period—the Regency Romances—where the genre began, but then will move on to more modern eras.
Historically, we’ve seen a number of genres develop due to one great work. Thus, you can look at something like the success of the film Pirates of the Caribbean and trace the genre back in time first to the rides at Disneyland in the 1960s, and from there on back to pirate books and movies of the past—from the films of Errol Flynn in the 1920s, to Robert Louis Stevenson’s hit Treasure Island in 1883, from there to Swiss Family Robinson in 1812, and from there to Robinson Crusoe, first published in 1718. Each of these bestsellers resonated with huge hits from the past, and thus built up a larger fan base.
So readers are often searching for something that moves them in a familiar way. As they grow more sophisticated in their tastes, widening their interests, the reader begins to look for something a little different. In other words, they want something similar—but better.
Thus, a reader of Westerns may say, “I’m tired of Zane Grey. I wonder what new authors are out there?” And he may discover Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove.
Readers crave something different, but not completely different.
As writers, we find that entire “genres” or “sub-genres” grow up around great novels. As new genres develop, over the centuries, hundreds of different types of code words, phrases, settings, and standard character types begin to creep into the field.
For example, if you’re writing a romance, do you say that your hero has “gray” eyes or “grey” eyes? The answer, of course, is that he has “grey” eyes. Why? Because Emily Brontë’s Heathcliffe had “grey” eyes, and thus the British spelling became preferred. It has stronger resonance with romance readers.
As a new writer, it’s important to become familiar with these codes, these motifs. Readers will think that you’re ignorant if you don’t know the standards. For example, I recently read a novel by a mainstream writer who tried to dabble in science fiction. In it, she had an instantaneous communication device. She called it something like an “ICD.” However, by doing so, she embarrassed herself in front of real science fiction aficionados. In the genre, such a device is known as an ansible. The word was coined by Ursula K. LeGuin in 1966 for her novel Rocannon’s World. By not knowing this, the author revealed that she was a pretender. In effect, she was “slumming.” So the novel died without real critical or financial success, despite the author’s skill as a stylist.
In the same way, we have “code words” that creep into every genre of fiction. When I used to judge for the Writers of the Future Contest, every few months I would get a story that started like this:
Joe, John, and Dave are sitting in a bar, drinking cool beers, brought to them by a big-chested waitress. They’re jawing about things. “How’s work?” Joe says. “Oh, you know, same ol’ stuff,” John says. “Say, have you seen Tina lately,” Dave asks John.
(This banter goes on for a page or two.)
Suddenly, the door to the bar bursts open, and a dwarf walks in. “Dwarf!” all three men suddenly shout, as they leap up from their stools and draw their swords.
As a reader, you might wonder, “Say what? They’re drawing swords?”
Do you see what is wrong here? Nothing in the text indicated that this was a fantasy world. The author began with a description befitting any modern-day bar in Texas. But in fantasy we have a secret language, inspired by Tolkien and others, that lets us know that we’re in a different time, a different world, where men wear swords and attack dwarves on sight. Using this language signals that the author is writing for a fantasy reader.
How would you then as an author address this problem?
First of all, the characters’ names can’t be Joe, John, and Dave. They have to sound like fantasy characters. So let’s try Theron, Wulf, and Sir Giles.
Second, they’re sitting in an inn, not in a bar.
They aren’t drinking “cold beer,” they’re guzzling “frothy mugs of ale.”
Instead of a “big-chested waitress,” the brew is offered up by a “buxom serving wench.”
When the men talk about their day, they don’t say, “How’s the boss treatin’ ya?” Instead, one might ask, “Is Lord Hebring faring well?” And so on.
All of this prepares us for the moment when the dwarf walks in, and the three city guards suddenly draw swords ringing from their scabbards.
The truth is that if you as an author are not aware of the conventions and vocabulary of the genre that you’re trying to write in, you will fail. Your readers will feel uneasy about your work, the critics who are familiar with the genre will lambaste you, and you will bomb at the bookstore.
Sometimes, authors get the wild notion that “Writing romance would be so easy,” or “If I just moonlighted by writing a fantasy novel, I could write so much better than the rest of those idiots.” It doesn’t work that way.
You have to write in a field that you know. You have to love what you’re doing.
If you don’t, the chances are almost zero that you will succeed.
The literary agent Richard Curtis once pointed this out. He said that over the years he has known dozens of authors who have gone slumming, but they almost never succeed in launching a new career. Why? Because usually the author isn’t familiar with the genre. He or she doesn’t understand what resonates with readers. They don’t know the secret conventions, don’t understand what makes that work delicious to the reader.
Almost every author falls into the trap of writing outside his area of expertise, it seems. I learned to love fantasy and science fiction when I was young. I have written successfully in both fields, becoming an international bestseller. But a few years ago, I got the urge to write a historical novel. “How hard can it be?” I asked myself. It wasn’t as if I were creating new worlds, new societies. All that I had to do was writing about real people, living in a real world.
I soon found that writing a historical is grinding work. Yes, it was based upon a lot of first-hand accounts, but there were so many arguments about what really happened, I had to do two years of research in my spare time just to come up with my own version of the event. There were plenty of holes even in the best-researched account. Then I had to try to recreate the voices of my protagonists by drawing upon the flimsiest evidence—and I had to make them sound historically accurate. In order to flesh out their world, I had to draw upon newspapers, books, first-hand accounts, and military documents. Writing the novel required travel to museums, and stops along 1300 miles of prairies as I followed my characters’ trail. In order to recreate their experience, I even braved a blizzard atop the Rocky Mountains. The novel, In the Company of Angels, went on to win an award for the “Best Book of the Year,” but writing it was maybe the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Here’s what I learned: writing well in any genre is excruciating! If you’re going to write, write in a genre that you love, so that writing will become a labor of love— not a chore.
I’ve pointed out what resonance is, but there is another point that I need to make about it. When you “create” any tale, you will subconsciously draw the story from somewhere. Researchers into the imagination don’t believe that we can actually create worlds, societies, characters, and incidents out of thin air. Instead, the human mind pulls odd little tidbits from our past experience, and we fabricate our tales based upon that. In other words, whether you’re trying to create resonance or not, you’re still doing it. Some authors get lucky. They naturally create a work that resonates strongly without realizing what they’ve done.
My goal here is to train you to consider what you’re doing, and learn to see resonance as the powerful tool that it is.

BSD Karaoke HC
Imagine all the ADA go to CoKa. How would the night go?
OSAMU DAZAI
Would absolutely be into it!
He’d spend most of the time teasing Atsushi and Kunikida, while simultaneously trying to encourage everyone to have a bit of fun.
He’d be the type to manipulate people into singing specific songs that he’d enjoy or would cause embarrassment, really the most entertainment for him.
He would order alcoholic drinks (such as sake) but not much; he is the classy type. He never would get drunk anyway without a lot.
I can see him singing along to some Bon Jovi , pop rock or even some Katy Perry. You may think he can sing brilliantly, and tells everyone he can sing, but is tone deaf. It is both surprising and expected from everyone.
ATSUSHI NAKAJIMI
Hed either be dying of embarrassment or second hand embarrassment for fellow agency members.
He’d be so wrapped up in the weird shenanigans of his co workers, that when it does cycle to his turn, he doesn’t even realise.
He’d lampshade his own singing. “I’m really not a good singer!” And then proceed to sing at a not too bad a tone. He doesn’t have much confidence, but thanks to everyone, he’ll finally get into the song midway through the first chorus.
If the lounge serves tea on rice, bet your ass he will order. He would most likely stick to juice though.
The orphanage never really played music. So he’d get someone else (likely Junichirou) to pick a song for him. That is unless he recognises a song that was plays on the radio. As long as everyone liked the song, he wouldn’t mind.
DOPPO KUNIKIDA
Dying. Inside. He would just be waiting for the night to end, keeping to his own corner to ignore everyone’s shenanigans with budgets or future cases. He’d bring as much work as he could get through.
Though at some points he may tap a foot to some melodies, he’d restrain himself from joining in the fun. Work was too important.
Eventually he would get roped in, most likely due to Yosano’s determination or Fukuzawa’s encouragement to take a break.
He would only ever order water; someone’s gotta stick to budgets. The agency is spending this money out of its own pocket.
He’d likely end up singing whatever was picked out for him. He’s not wasting mental energy on picking out a song, and (wrongly) trusts his fellow members to pick something good for him..
RANPO EDOGAWA
He would definitely be joining Dazai in the persuasion of other member’s song choices.
Would order every single sweet on the menu. There wouldn’t be a moment in the night where he wasn’t eating some kind of a sweet treat.
Uses sweets to bribe everyone into letting him pick their songs. Then he resorts to blackmail.
Even though he’s just as into the karaoke shtick as Dazai, you’d never find him pick out a song for himself. Everyone in the agency respects him too much to persuade him otherwise, so he’s the only one who gets away Scott free.
AKIKO YOSANO
She’s the most chill person of the night. Though she does partake in a little teasing of other members, she doesn’t full out embarrass them (like Dazai).
She spends most of her night with Ranpo, giving him ideas as to what the song requests should be (in a mostly joking tone), that is until he takes it seriously, though she doesn’t really mind - more amusement for her.
She’d be ordering Saki with Dazai. She wouldn’t give a damn about no budget.
When it’s her turn to sing, everyone knows she SLAYS. I can see her going for the Aggretsuko style screamo, or the opposite end of the spectrum with a bit of old pop.
JUNICHIROU TANIZAKI (+ Naomi)
Junichirou and Naomi are sticking together with glue, and more if our dear Imouto can help it.
Not that Junichirou minds. If they sing a duet together, though he isn’t the best singer, the two together sound like an angel. The weird incest stuff is a small price to pay to avoid humiliation... I guess.
Junichirou is a little concerned about his fellow members and experiences quite the second hand embarrassment, but is discreet with these feelings. Naomi isn’t phased by any antics, always focusing on her big bro.
At the same time, Naomi wants other agents to have fun too.
Shield Kenji and Kyoka’s eyes. Think of the children. Pls.
80s pop duets are there jam. Seasons of Love, that kind of thing. Maybe even some Disney classics with a sprinkle of Musicals.
KENJI MIYAZAWA
There’ll be that jerk making fun of the ADA outside on the way to the vending machines. Kenji is the one to teach him a lesson. A lesson of hugs and kindness! (and maybe a punch)
This is a much deserved rest, so he is going to stuff his face at the lounge (but is wary of Kunikida’s stress over the budget, and is considerate boi).
After he eats, he sleep for almost the entire night, except for moments that he’s eating or singing.
He’s a ray of sunshine. Even if he can’t sing, he gives the aura he can, and everyone will be super supportive. It’s impossible to dislike anything he does after all. Late 2000, early 2010 upbeat songs are what he’d sing.
YUKICHI FUKUZAWA
This man is in charge of making sure everyone is relaxed. Especially if there’s been a really hard mission they’ve just come back from.
He will most likely pay for the entire event from his own pocket. He wants everyone to be okay, and to enjoy themselves to the fullest.
After the night is over, he will see everyone off to make sure they leave safely. The agency members are like children to him (some still are children, and others certainly act the part). It’s also to make sure everyone had as much fun as they could.
He’d definitely sing old Japanese folk songs.
KYÔKA IZUMI
She’d stay with Atsushi, though less bewildered with the antics then him or Junichirou. She’s dealt with the Port Mafia after all (Higuchi, Chuya, Kōyō, Kajii, and the whole gang were all preparation).
She’d be honest with everyone about their singing. If they sing badly, then she’ll tell it straight. Dazai may get a little upset, but recovery is quick. The scene plays like a theatrical play then a simple conversation (the theatrics provided purely by Dazai).
She’d be sipping her tea and eating tofu in the corner. Of course.
This girl is perfect. She’s adorably cute, is polite, can assassin like no man’s business, and has the voice of an angel. Fukuzawa and Ranpo are giving her all of the treats (provided Ranpo resists them in the first place, which is unlikely).
She and Yukichi are in the old folk song gang.

The storm was certainly a small surprise for her, considering the cold of winter was only just starting to leave, though maybe it was the willingness of mother nature to shower the earth after being frozen for so long...So she had said a bit too dramatically to her boyfriend, resulting in giggles between the both of them. Though she had only gotten a tad wet on the way there, she was certainly glad to be inside where the cold water wouldn’t freeze her to the bone, hearing how it pounded against Justin’s apartment now. And she was thankful that they made dinner already too, having finished off the remnants of her curry and rice before being able to snuggle closer to Justin while the documentary played.
And yet, of course, she still had a small pang of worry. Cute penguin chicks weren’t enough comfort for the loud booms of thunder outside, jumping a bit as she nuzzled her head into Justin’s shoulder. She wondered how long the storm would go on for, concerns over friends who could be out and about popping into her mind. And then there was the problem of how she would get home; of course fighting with the storm would be hard for her and probably slowed down the train lines immensely, and she didn’t want her mother trying to drive in this weather...
Though she certainly didn’t want to bother Justin with having to stay over, his sudden words put her a bit more at ease. No he wouldn’t mind; he cared about her dearly and could probably guess at some of the thoughts in her head right now, and how much they matched with his own. His first sentence already had her smiling a bit before the next couple made it falter; tomorrow afternoon...It wasn’t even spring quite yet and the storms were getting so intense. It made her more thankful that he had asked, looking down at his phone with him and then looking back up into his eyes, more reassurances making her more calm and going to answer him ---
BZZZZT!!!
The sudden electrical noise and then the room growing dark made her instinctively yelp, heart beating faster for a moment from the shock before relaxing, grip on Justin tight but then letting go completely. The squawk of penguins completely gone thanks to thunder and rain, now a much more looming presence as she watched Justin look out the window. A block wide power outage at least, not seeing a single light from where she was seated. But at least it didn’t sound like any bulbs had shattered, though worries were still in the back of her mind over if the whole place would be okay...
She looked at her phone as soon as Justin had turned his phone’s flashlight on; 55% battery life left. Enough if she conserved it right, though it wasn’t like she was going to use her phone for too much. One of the things she would use it for would be calling her mom, at least to just let her know that she was okay, going to do that once Justin stated he’d go get some candles. Just letting out a sound of agreement as he walked away, she instantly rang her mom and was relieved at getting an instant response. Kotori’s eyes tracked Justin as he walked around, the boy like a firefly amidst the dark, as she told her mother that she was alright and then her plans of spending the night with her boyfriend. After going over her own mother’s plans, which was staying in their home and offering to help the Kousakas with anything they needed should their power go out soon, they said their goodbyes and hung up as Justin lit the last candle.
Tumblr media
And then he’s back on the couch, and she’s back to snuggling right next to him. Though now all that was on the TV was the soft reflections of candles glow. “Yup, it certainly does.” A one-note reply with a small smile. Not that she wasn’t glad for this extra time with her boyfriend, expecting conversations between them to get either extremely mushy or silly. But a loud crackling of thunder made her chest tighten with unease, almost glad for the power outage so she couldn’t see just how intense it was. She tried to sigh out the feeling, eyes focused on the little candle flames. “I hope everyone else is doing okay out there. I’d hate for anyone to be caught up in this.” She mumbled, before looking up at Justin, sighing again into a small smile, “I’m glad that we’re not though, and that we can just stay cuddled up like this for longer.” Better to look at the positives anyways, at least to not worry Justin and to maybe bring her ease back, resting her head on his shoulder once more.
