#his compliments take her out

[i-drop-level-one-loot]

I'm not the anon who requested him but I really adore stalker yan. Thank you for writing him. <3

I can also imagine the reader being ok living with him after he says that she has full access to his bank account.

Stalker Yan: I can give you anything you want!

Reader: ... Anything???

Stalker Yan: Anything!

Reader: Even your bank account?

Stalker Yan: I-, yes...?

Reader: *Already making herself comfortable at his bed* Aight, deal.

Stalker Yan: *Overjoyed but also slightly worried at how reader accepted his offer quickly* What...?

Reader: Well, I now have a free place to live in and a loaded bank account. Besides, you are very attractive so I really don't mind being with you.

Stalker Yan: *Very flustered at reader calling him attractive*

And thus, they lived in domestic bliss with Reader being spoiled, the end.

The type of woman to create a successful business but refers to it as a "side hustle".

I think after she gets over the shock of losing her favorite gig, she'll really like him ❤️

And yeah, if he can afford to live alone, maybe she should just move in, that's not crazy right?

#money money money #she's actually really sweet #his compliments take her out #she's really cool #but intense #and he's the only guy that compliments her for things other than her appearance #she doesn't know how to respond and it's just so cute #they'd make a cute couple #i could see her selling her selfies to him jokingly #as a way of flirting #like #“i got a super cute new swimsuit and you can see it early for only fifteen bucks”

Danny and Damien are twins au, but a slightly redeemed vlad makes Danny the CEO of Vlad Co and DALV and all his other shell companies. Danny is danny, he got pushed into this against his will and is very overwhelmed by CEO duties, so he reaches out to one of his father's sons, Timothy Drake-Wayne, for advice

-------------------

So, danny definitely knows his heritage in this au. He was the spare to Damien's heir, and while their relationship was strained by the constant competition, they still love each other, even when Danny started to show more proficiency in infiltration and subterfuge than assassination. Damien and Danny have a huge fight before Danny leaves, with Damien swearing to never forgive Danny for his betrayal, while Danny is like "what betrayal??? I just cant bring myself to kill someone outside of self-defense??"

(One of the things I hate about Danny and Damien Twin AUs is this depiction that, just because (usually) Danny is unwilling to kill, that makes him weak and a traitor. You think the medical staff in the LoA are assassinating people? Or the lawyers? He's not useless, he's just not good as an assassin)

He was sent to the Fentons at like... seven? eight? to study how the Fentons are purifying lazurus waters from Jack and Maddie, both of whom are partly sponsored by the League of Assassins. He's also learning more about spying from Jack, surprisingly, because no one would expect him of being a top tier spy. He has the occasional mission as a child, but it's mostly shadowing Jack to learn how to spy.

Danny sends letters to both Talia and Damien regarding updates on his training and the Fenton's research, but after a year of no reply from Damien, it's only to Talia. He's feels super hurt by this, and abandoned by the LoA, but the Fentons are kind and familial, and Talia visits once a year. She's unwilling to risk visiting more often, lest she risk getting the JL or the Spiders attention, but sometimes she even manages to visit on his birthday!

(Meanwhile, Talia starts sending birthday assassins to kill Damien so she can spend their birthday with Danyal. She's a really hot and cold mom.

Talia: You can choose me, and have a birthday dinner. Or you can choose your father and have a birthday assassin. You're choice. )

When Slade blows up the LoA, Danyal is given permanent orders to remain as Daniel Fenton until Talia, and only Talia, brings him back to the League. No missions and only one letter every six months. But when Ra's comes back to life and the League is back in power, Talia... never tells Danyal. Because she's seen how happy Damien is being a normal child with their father and wants that for Danyal too. Plus, she wants to continue to have a good relationship one of her children, sue her bruce.

So Danny is completely convinced that the League is mostly gone other than his mother, her zealots, and knows that his brother is living with their father. and he's... relieved. His brother is safe, and his mom told him their grandfather was avenged, so Danny can just enjoy his life. Which he does.

He sends out his six month report days before the portal accident.

Canon stuff happens until Danny is sixteen and Vlad, the fruitloop, steps down as CEO and strong-arms Danny into becoming CEO in his place. Jack and Maddie (who at this point know [or have always known in Jack's case, adn Danny didn't appreciate his dad using his his poker face against him like that] about Phantom) are thrilled.

Vlad is using his "foster son" (Dark Danny, but in this idea, he's Dante Masters) as an excuse as to why he's stepping down, since Dante needs all the attention he can give as a "troubled youth". Danny secretly hopes Dante kills Vlad in his sleep, but signs the papers away.

And there's so much work.

Danny has some idea of what he's doing (Vlad co is a tech company and DALV is weapons manufacturing, plus vlad gave him a crash course on CEOing). Sam and Tuck even help! But he wishes there was someone who could understand the pain of being a CEO while still a teen. But... his father's son, his brother, is one such person. And even though the other would never know, he really wanted to get to know his other siblings. So Danny reaches out for advice to Timothy Drake-Wayne.

Tim is immediately on guard when this Damien clone walks into his office claiming to be the new Vlad Co CEO. The clone acts nothing like Damien, but he still thinks this Danny Fenton is a league plant.

His paranoia doubles when Damien freaks out and confesses that A) Danny is apparently his twin brother and B) that he's been with the League of Assassins this whole time. Damien, who really doesn't want to admit that the reason he forced himself to forget his brother was because said brother didn't want to kill people, says "Tch. I didn't want to associate with the likes of him, so I put him out of my mind." Tim now believes that he's dealing with a master assassin with a huge grudge against Damien and Danyal showing no signs of malicious or aggression in their meetings only convinces him that Danyal is a master actor too.

Which, Danyal is a master actor. But all that other stuff is just Tim reaching.

#dc x dp #dp x dc #dp crossover #dc crossover #danny and damian are twins #for some reason explain danyal's backstory was really important to me #c: danny fenton #c: damien wayne #c: talia al ghul #c: tim drake #talia can be a brainwashed mom trying to do the best for her kids and be cold and calculating #she has the range #this au is all about the batfam freaking out about the LoA having control over these massive companies #and meanwhile Danny is having the time of his life getting to know his adoptive brother #and saving the environment with Vlad's companies #tim constantly takes the most innocent comments from danny as evil threats #danny compliments tim's family and tim nearly lunges across the desk to strangle him

Darcy's role in P&P would work for me anyway, but tbh it works for me 10x better because he halfway reverts back to form towards the end of the book.

#so many takes on darcy seem to think his presentation of himself at pemberley is a permanent radical transformation of his personality #and the end point of his character arc #and it's explicitly not a static end point in that way #his inwards change is real but how much that translates into outwards presentation depends on the context #like late-novel darcy trying to compliment mrs bennet and doing it in a way that reads as icy and brusque is just peak darcy #the difference isn't that he's become personable in this social context; he's not! but he's doing his best now #and this being an ongoing struggle at which he sometimes comically fails is so much more austen #than the total transformation into a perfect dreamboat narrative #but yeah i love that austen goes out of her way at the end to yank him out of his fulfillment enclosures and underscores his foibles #anghraine babbles #austen blogging #austen fanwank #lady anne blogging #fitzwilliam darcy

Okay, okay, love that we’ve got a canonical explanation for Jamie being cuddly as fuck and for him being very full of himself! But like, without his dad’s nasty stuff getting him all twisted and mean, it’s just great confidence? “I don’t think you understand how psychologically healthy that actually is” and all that. Give this man some cuddles and compliments and he will Thrive and be the Sweetest.

#mummy georgie you raised one hell of a boy #lost his way for a little bit #due to certain dads that shall remain unnamed #but he bounced back so beautifully #and so much of that must have come from you #the sweetness that he hid for a bit but - all things considered - found quite easily again #roy please take notes #your love language might be shouting #but jamie wants cuddles and compliments #fortunately jamie will just take them if you don't dole out willingly #so it all works out #jamie tartt #georgie tartt #doubt that's her last name but we go with it for now #3x11 #ted lasso spoilers

Obi-Wan: Hey, Quin, can you padawan-sit for me while I’m out of temple tonight?

Quinlan: Um… I’m not sure he likes me?

Obi-Wan: Of course not. He’s been an emotional wreck since we found out he’s been manipulated by the former chancellor, but I’ve got him mostly back to his normal amount of suspicion.

Quinlan: His normal amount of suspicion for a fourteen year old is a lot higher than other fourteen year olds.

Obi-Wan: No?? I was suspicious at that age too?

Quinlan: You weren’t exactly a standard at that age! And??? Who did master Jinn leave you with when he was out of temple?

Obi-Wan: Master Windu, of course. He thought I was cursed and didn’t like me talking past sundown because he said I talked like a haunted Naboolian street urchin at night, but he gave warm hugs. I can’t give Anakin to him, Mace hisses every time Anakin gets too close!

Quinlan: So you want to give him to /me/?

Obi-Wan: Yeah, because one: you aren’t actually afraid of him, or anyone else, or life, or the force, so, I think you can handle his glares and pouts, and two: Aayla will calm him down. He doesn’t have many other friends. Invite Lum over and keep my brother safe, please.

Quinlan: *chest puffing up pridefully at Obi-Wan saying Quinlan can handle his brother* Okay, but you owe me.

Obi-Wan: I really don’t. We weren’t even close to even before this.

Quinlan: Yeah, probably not.

#star wars #obi wan kenobi #incorrect star wars quotes #anakin skywalker #quinlan vos #Obi has been mega protective over his baby brother #but he realizes he doesn’t want to smother him so he’s giving Ani some space with big sis and taking off to Bail’s apartment for the night #Quinlan secretly loves Obi’s son but also would not like to be alone in a room with him while he’s unstable lmao #Ani is just needy and a lil scared after Palpy turned out to be a sith #but he loves big sis aayla so that’ll do for comfort #lum’s gonna bring her ten year old Padawan with her and they’ll all all bond #barriss’s age isn’t exact cause books say 2 years younger than Ani and show says 4 #but I prefer four cause she and Ahsoka compliment each other while working together

having. Thoughts on BS!Dee and how a major theme of her character in the au is that she is Quite Literally living in Jack's shadow after he died, but she doesn't even mind it.

if anything, she's proud that she's become similar to him. even if it's not in the greatest ways. like, imagine that:

you've unconsciously become so similar to a dead man, one who's death effectively knocked over the dominoes of you becoming like this, that when everyone else looks at you, all they can see when they look at you is the spitting image of him staring them in the face.

#dsaf au #dsaf #brother's shadow au #dee kennedy #i'm Very Normal about BS!Dee 😊 (< lying) #might do some art about this idea later #like a repeated thing that Dee is told by various different people in this au is the phrase: #'You remind me a lot of your brother/You're turning out like Jack/You're just like your brother.' #(with those all being said by Dave Peter (pre-death) and Henry respectively) #and what's Dee's response almost every time? #'I'll take that as a compliment.' #she loved Jack. she was close to him and losing him Crushed her. to make matters worse (thanks to Henry) she basically got gaslit for years #-into believing she never witnessed his death. she spent years wondering if she had lost it. #of course she'd take any comparisons to a man she practically idolized as a compliment #like don't get me wrong: she loves Peter too and his death also screwed her up really bad. but like. She Directly Witnessed Jack's Murder #y'know. the guy who took care of her. the guy who tried his best given the circumstances. Her Older Brother. #she also spent more time around Jack when she was younger. she and Jack also had that kind of bond #just. AAAAAAA BS!DEE!!! MY BELOVED!!

[homeless202]

this is again the issue that people won't listen to him and blatantly ignore what he's saying:

it's so annoying

everyone keeps bothering him with the same thing over and over altho he's already expressed his opinion on the matter. it's like talking to the walls.

of course he's going to flip out. who wouldn't? no one's patient enough to listen to repetitive shit like that.

but now it's his fault for 'overreacting'. he just wanted people to leave him alone.

...but not like that.

#(did yall notice i try to frame these as dramatically as possible bc i want you to cry together with me :) #these people were well-intentioned. they just wanted to compliment him and find out if he was going to act again #unfortunately he doesn't believe the compliments he gets on his acting skills #(<-prolly cuz his parents never appreciated/complimented him on it) #he doesn't think it's true or relevant since it's not coming from the right people #when he told everyone no and to stop asking. they all talked over him <- which is exactly what always happened with his mom #she pushed and pushed and pushed him until he couldn't take it anymore and made him explode #making him look like the crazy/overreacting one #and her like the 'poor mom with such a difficult child' #eunyung has a record of never being taken seriously when trying to communicate his boundaries #and of being gaslighted his whole life #<- ofc he'll react badly #but reacting like that pushes people away in the process #so. him expressing his feelings is either irrelevant to others or considered an overreaction #<- ofc he'll get violent when words don't work. some people understand body language better than spoken #no home #no home manhwa #집이 없어 #webtoon #eunyung baek #meta #ey and theater #ahhh ig he's tall enough to hold that many issues otherwise they wouldn't fit

Hello my wonderful and lovely friend!!! I come, as I am wont to do, with questions for splendidissima Rhodri from the OC Codex prompts:

2. a letter written by your OC’s family member

3. a report written by your OC’s teacher or mentor

4. a letter from your OC to their love interest

Now, I don't know if you will spend these days celebrating or not, but they seem to be busy days for anybody regardless. Please take as much time as you like and pick whichever tickle your fancy. And have some lovely, lovely days. Off I go!

OH HI HEY ! 8D 8D Good to see you and thank you for sending in the prompts!! I had such a great time with these, both of my braincells were working overtime and it was a joy!

Owing to spacing and the sheer volume of the answers I'm sticking all this under the cut. I'd apologise but we both know I don't mean it x) x) x)

so o o o 2. A letter written by your OC's family member Here's one from Rhod's younger brother, Owen. Heirs aren't allowed to have favourites, but suffice it to say she and Owen had easy and natural compatibility. He was nine-ish and Rhodri would've been twelve.

The paper is bleached, high-quality Tevinter vellum, bearing a template header in red ink, reading in Tevene rune script, EX SCRIBIO CALLISTANI SPIRI (“From the desk of Spiro Callistanus”). At the top right of the page, the date 13 Justinian, 9:22 Era Drakonis is added in the same wobbly runic script in the rest of the letter. The language of writing is Tevene.

I love you Sēvē,

My birthday was good but sad without you, and thank you for my greenhouse. Mazarin and Evander aren’t allowed inside because they break everything now. Bethann sits with me in there sometimes but not for long. 

School is hard but Tata says it gets easier with time. When you come back we can go together. I think that would make it better. Mazarin and Evander are too loud and they don’t sit with me any more. Do you know any plant spells? Please write all of them down so I can learn them when my magic comes. And please tell me your favourite three plants. Mine are ivy, snake kiss, and butterleaf.

Please write lots more soon.

And I love you, from Owen your brother.

Author's notes:

Callistanus- ‘of’ House Callistus, the name given to non-heir family members. An heir is the house, the non-heirs are the members of said house. ‘Callistani is Callistanus in genitive (possessive- I know you know this; clarifying for other potential readers) case. Owen's Tevene name is Spiro, Spiri in genitive form.

The Callistanus/Amell kids did not cope well with Rhodri being taken to the Circle. Not least because they were an arm’s length away when the Kirkwall Templars were beating her to a pulp.  Mazarin and Evander, who already tended to be loud and demanding, became destructive and disruptive, and both of them developed explosive tempers that proved hard to pacify.  Bethann, the youngest and most sensitive sibling, suffered frequent meltdowns that required many years to identify causes for and address.  Owen, the middle child, was always quiet and courteous. The adults in his life, amid attending to his louder, needier siblings, frequently ‘checked in’ on him, and they would have used all the resources they had to attend to any need he might have, but if he said he was doing fine (he always did), they left it at that and assumed he was content to keep to himself. Rhodri had always made a point of keeping him by her side and giving him plenty of one-on-one attention even if he was ‘fine,’ and he soaked that up like a sponge. After she was taken away, though, and the other siblings proved to be very squeaky wheels, there was nobody to fill the gap in those childhood to early teen years. Owen ended up rather neglected, and horribly lonely, and hid it, even lied about it, to everyone but Rhodri for years. Consequently, Owen tends to have a low opinion of himself, and is disinclined to seek out something, however badly he might want it. He does a lot better once Rhodri's back, and certainly once his folks found out (to their unrestricted horror) how neglected he had felt, they did their darnedest to make it up to him as well. But Rhod's return was really what cemented that improvement.

On to 3. a report written by your OC's teacher and mentor

I liked this question because I like the idea of there being a very specific, Chantry-determined format to a progress report, filled with formalities that ostensibly show some level of "civility" between the Templars and the mages. Plus, grading system? How do the mages measure success? So many questions!! Thank you for making me think of the answers!! -

The paper is bleached, blank vellum of middle to high quality, with the standard Circle progress report template already written in with black ink. Irving’s handwriting is a neat cursive that is no longer taught in the Circles. -

Date: 7 Eluviesta, 9:21 Dragon

Tutor name and rank: Irving, F.E.

Apprentice name; age; specialisation: Rhodri S. C. Amell// 10 y.o.// Arcane Magic

Progress report number, AYTD: 2

Presenting compliments to the Knight-Commander and having the honour to report:

Following the discovery of lyrium affliction in early Verimensis 9:22, Rhodri Amell has completed three months of compensatory meditation and distraction management training. Spellpower has improved significantly, as has spell duration (Max. 4; 10s per HS); mana inefficiency has also decreased (less est. 2.5, now 5.5). Continuation of the program recommended indefinitely.

Despite her progress, Rhodri’s temper outbursts are increasing in frequency during lessons proper. I reiterate to the Knight-Commander my suspicion that these arise from the elemental damage and consequent pain in her hands from unsafe proximity to trained mana, particularly as her affliction prevents her from wearing the requisite enchanted safety gloves. As per my last reports, I strongly recommend that my apprentice be permitted to use a sylvan branch staff to prevent more of the same; responding to outbursts with punishment has proved manifestly unhelpful and I continue to urge its cessation to the Knight-Commander with the greatest emphasis.

I note that Rhodri continues to tutor beginner students in her free time. E. Delilah has anecdotally mentioned better performance in this cohort in comparison to Delilah’s previous cohort, and has advised willingness to allow my apprentice to shadow her for some classes. With assistance in managing the change in schedule, I anticipate further progress for all concerned.

Reiterating assurances to the Knight-Commander of my highest consideration.

Irving, F.E. 

-

Author's notes on abbreviations and measurements - AYTD: Academic year to date - Spellpower scale is from 0 (not casting) to 10 (Destruction of a single room - HS- healing spell (in this case spell duration measures how long the intended effects persist until the spell is cut off or wears off on its own) - Mana inefficiency scale measures how much unformed mana escapes when a spell is cast, from 0 (no mana lost) to 10 (all, or almost all mana escaped). .

And 4: A letter from your OC to their love interest!

The author's notes are long so I'd better just get to it:

The paper is bleached, high-quality Tevinter vellum, bearing a template header in red ink, reading in Tevene rune script, EX SCRIBIO CALLISTI SEVERIN (“From the desk of Severin Callistus”). At the top right of the page, the date 11 Pluitanis, 9:35 Era Drakonis is written in sharp, austere letters, as is the rest of the content. The language of writing is Common, with the exception of the tercet, which is in Tevene.

Dulcis,

I pen this letter to you with all my love and, in adherence to the conditions set by your challenge:

I admit that I stand corrected: pickpocketing is very difficult and is not “something I could do as easily as blinking.” (I will say, however, that hiding grapes in the pocket you were keeping the coins was entirely unnecessary. It feels like those bastard Void fruits are hiding everywhere, now.)

With great embarrassment, I enclose a reproduction of the tercetus I so foolishly admitted to writing and frankly, my love, I am starting to think you organised this whole bet so you could get your hands on it.  . In vitae finite stabit Formator ton, et querisit "A Incredule, quemisi exultum mihim offerti?" Et respondit humilite, "Ton Zevran, Sanctus amade" .

I must say, my love, I’m enjoying writing to you even though you’re right beside me. I think I’d like to do this more often– though hopefully with fewer tercetae. Maybe I could hang short missives off your Friday flowers. What do you think?

Also, please let me know if you would like to go to the Sidereal Telescopium tomorrow. Quirina is giving a speech on the upcoming New Constellations Room, and I have many questions for them.

My whole heart to you,

Severin (Rhodri). -

Author’s notes:

Tercetus- a traditional Tevene-style three-line rhyming poem.

A rough translation: At the end of life I will stand before your Maker, and he will ask me "You, Unbeliever, tell me– what worship did you ever offer me?" And I will say, simply and earnestly, "Holy Immortal, I loved Your Zevran."

Rhod’s got a complicated religious life. She started okay; the family wasn’t especially pious but they did Chantry things at the frequency considered respectable. Once she landed in Kinloch Hold, though, her prevailing question, for which never received a satisfactory answer, was: “If the Maker can do anything, and He loves us, why does he let us suffer? I wouldn’t do that, and I’m a child, nto a god.” After Broken Circle, she refused to believe the Maker existed, as a consolation to herself, and to avoid the sort of vengeful blasphemy that gets you hung, drawn, and quartered. There’s something about Zevran’s patient faith, though, and his willingness to offer thanks that he has what he has, however miserable his life has been. It’s impressively staunch, and Rhodri admires that, and treasures the comfort it brings him, enough that she slowly comes around to her idea of a compromise. Said compromise is acknowledging that if the Maker exists, He is as capable at unleashing bitter cruelty as He is at creating boundless joy. Rhod’s not one to praise bad behaviour in anyone, let alone a god who should know better, but by golly He did everyone a good turn when He made Zevran. Maybe age will bring other wisdom, but for now, she lets her love for Zevran be her tentative worship, because it’s the only praise she can offer in earnest. Though idk, what better compliment is there for a creator than someone wholeheartedly adoring their creation?  I like to think it’s enough for the time being. A religious journey isn’t always straightforward but I always found that complications bring their own insights.

I have no idea why Rhodri signs off her letters to Zevvo as ‘Severin (Rhodri).’ They agreed early on never to use the Tevene name to avoid the ridiculousness that comes with similar-sounding names (it gets especially bad when the siblings give him the Tevene-ised nickname Zēvē when they’re already calling Rhodri Sēvē. Agony!) Same deal with Owen signing off letters to her as “Owen your brother”. Must be hereditary.

Also I'm not sure about how ok it is to use Artbreeder generated images what with the art theft things going around now (I'm not sure where it stands on that sort of thing) so I'll leave out the artbreeder portrait I have of Owen. For a face claim, though, this feller here is pretty close (though I grant you Simon Wood is unlikely to be 9yo in this gif). Token ginger of the Amell-Callistus brood, what's up!

#Thank you again for indulging meeeee <3 <3 <3 <3 I had a ball with this!! #God but I feel so awful for Owen ToT He is such a sweet boy and he was Rhod's little shadow #(and is planning to stock his greenhouse full of Rhodri's favourite plants which is Not Directly giving presents right? Right??) #find yourself a sibling who looks for ways to skirt around Tata's Restrictive Gift Policy #he'd be a dangerous little bastard with his manipulations skills if he had even one bad bone in his body but he doesn't! #parenting is fraught with mistakes and it's a shame he copped some of that but he turns out fine thank god. Rhodri makes sure of that #I honestly don't know what Zevran ends up making of that tercet either #He's a pious fellow at heart and I can't decide if he'd find it well-meant but indisputably blasphemous #or take it as a compliment and not dwell on the other side of it #some part of me feels like he'd overlook any reservations bc there IS a lot of love for him in there and certainly no animosity #idk really- opinions welcome #I like dissecting Zev's personality #Rhodri Amell #Askin' games #Dragon Age: Origins #also in the circle Rhod's father has been buying birthday gifts on her behalf- hence the greenhouse. Rhodri DOES know what he bought #and organises the gift well in advance via letter but it's a complex affair x) #also yes Rhodri absolutely was having meltdowns from magic damaging her hands and the Templars punishments were Not helpful #and Irving is entirely sick of their shit

UH UH JUST A COUPLE OFFHAND CYRMIC DOODLES

This one’s somewhat of a comic but uh—

#Nottie thinks his tails are fun to play with. #She’s so kitty kitty and he’s so cat toy. #Cyrmic’s also surprisingly easy to fluster but he’ll totally try to mask it #he’ll also totally fail at masking it cause his face blushes like a motherfucker #he can take compliments all day but eventually he’s gonna crash into a “oh good heavens!” type of mindset #he will literally burry his face into his fluff and fur boa like 😳😵‍💫 #with the last comic?? I don’t even know man #Rupert saw a random man lifting his daughter up like “OY!!!!” #imagine the sounds of smacking someone and pillow fighting at the same time #that’s what it would sound like if Rupert fought Cyrmic #((spoilers: Cyrmic would actually get his ass kicked lol)) #I think Cyrmic honestly does surprisingly well with children?? #he kinda has mixed opinions on them though #he thinks they’re cute when they’re actually sweet and well mannered #but he can’t stand it when they act out or have temper tantrums or scream and cry #drives this man absolutely insane #but at least he’s good at keeping his composure shoukd he ever be caught in the midst of something like that #also I’m not misjudging the size of Cyrmic’s hands when drawing them #he just. kinda has big hands y’know #tbh I gave him those hands cause I wanted another character with Nottie’s hand type because I actually love drawing her hands a lot #needed more reasons to draw hands like those tee hee #Cyrmic Danderdilly #Rupert Snapdragon #Forget-Me-Not #Nottie #Bliss #ocs #original characters #original stories #The Kiwi Draws

Can we just mention how peaches has been there for the boys since the beginning. Like she’s been there through them almost disbanding in their debut years, the mistreatment they had, then selling free concert tickets and from them being nobodies to becoming global icons. Like along with bang pd, their families and the producers at bighit it was only a small number of people who believed in bangtan at that time. Like peaches has watched these group of boys make bighit into the massive company it was today. I can just imagine peaches comforting the boys during their debut days and giving them hope, strength and reassurance that they are going to become big one day even when it was hard for them then. And I can imagine her during then making sure the boys ate at least because of the amount of training and hard work they did.

So for her to see them at the White House, UN, Grammys, sold out stadiums, meeting South Koreas president and bringing in so much to the SK economy, etc. She would probably be the most emotional one when this happens and I can imagine her and bangtan sitting down and talking about their debut days with her. And then she’s deeply special to bangtan because she was one of the first army’s and supporters for them.

Yeah :( this made me really soft omg. I feel she would be a major pillar of support for all the boys and especially the maknae line. No one is more proud than Peaches and no one has been as constant as her. She truly is so important to them. Just ugh :( thanks for this Peaches appreciation post. She deserves it

#anon #asks #they'd literally adore her and she'd adore them #like the bond would be so tight #i also feel a lot of the times peaches' support for them would be very subtle which i think would be appreciated #like complimenting jimin at random just bc she knows he needs it #or taking jungkook out to eat just so he can have some fun #being tae's shoulder to cry on #distracting yoongi in his studio so he takes breaks #she'd just be so good at being there :( #tae/peaches
