So I didn't draw it today BUT I really need to focus on commissions so I'm counting that as my art of the day despite probably not finishing one day TO post. So you get this instead.
Deacon as stated before is basically paid to be intimidating but he truly can't help but light up for the lightning deity because "that's the friend of my boss!" so he properly greets her with a "Lady Fulj" as a formality and respect. While he does respect the deity he's sworn to, he just calls him boss. That's what he gets.
He doesn't have any magical powers but he's got a strong sense of energy regardless. He can pinpoint when Fulj arrives. He can sense in the room he guards to make sure Ymber is still there (though he doesn't teleport and that's the only exit. But when Fulj visits and he's still outside he senses both deities and it puts him at ease.
What impresses Ymber immensely is the split fire deities - he can personally sense that one is around but he doesn't know which. He simply recognizes their energy as "fire deity, be on high alert". Then one day as he's getting tense over it (the fire deities like to tease him), Deacon reassures him "hey it's the guy today! I noticed he is less brutal in his comments it will be fine C:" and Ymber is stunned that he can identify which one is there before seeing them.
Deacon can also sense spirits and in Ymber's temple can actually see and hear them. But he doesn't tell them or interact, he lets them be in peace. Until he laughs at something one says and the spirits realize he's heard them for the past multiple years which is ... embarrassing. In addition to that, he can usually sense a monster out of town. On his rare walks with Ymber he's able to guide them around the monsters easily so neither one has to fight (though he gladly would fight em and he knows Ymber could one shot any of them).
He wants to be well trusted by Ymber and figures it won't happen, Ymber is simply too closed off and reserved. That's fair. Deacon assumes it's his mortality at play and why entrust him with his past experiences when he's just going to die sooner than Ymber would bother with. Which then shocks him when Fulj gets upset about "he didn't even ask for consent" and gets angry at Ymber for not telling Deacon. So she guilts Ymber to tell Deacon "um, I apologize for not asking you but I have extended your life. By a few centuries. I'm sorry" expecting Deacon to get upset at having to leave behind any loved ones as he doesn't age or die anytime soon. But! Deacon as a dedicated follower aiming to only please his boss is delighted by the trust shown by wanting to keep him around longer and proceeds to take his job as guardian/bodyguard even more seriously (which is hard to do with how serious he was before).
Anyway I won't go into the details now since this is already an essay but I've been shoving suffering onto Ymber and Fulj and why they are both like they are - withdrawn (Ymber) and enamored by humans (Fulj). But not for happy reasons.

ok hi im BACK. i may have been procrastinating reading ur thawed series (like a total loser?? how did i procrastinate that) but now that i finally did it i am so infatuated ?!?!?!? i fucking love how badass the reader is and i loved her silly little friendship with lynette and fremi (and lyney too, no matter how much they denied its existence (('its' like the friendship. not lyney. love him)). ever since i started genshining (crowd boos) ive been obsessed with polearms .. theyre just so ??? aghmakdmf ?? ? they feel like water. flowey. like. yk. rivers (woah high class poet here watch out). i think theyre not as restricting as swords, bows, etc. honestly, a polearm is like .. a sword and bow in one. a sword bc. swoosh, kachow, yk? but a bow if you're bold. like, imagine throwing ur polearm like its some fucking arrow. sick as FUCK!! it would just be embarrassing to walk to ur (hopefully) dead enemy to pick it back up like 'ooh. that may have been dramatic u guys. mb.' also i. im wondering if i missed something while reading bc the knave just let the reader go?? like that?? nuh uh. i dont believe that. shes definitely keeping an eye out on her, making sure no fatui secrets get out .. i think im more excited abt the probability of an encounter between reader and arlecchino than one with the siblings fdjfidj. readers fight or flight goes crazy, and i dont think neither of those are really an option against a fatui harbringer, especially one that watched you train for most of your life.. probably knows everything about you, too ... yeuugh. i love the thawed series, and im really looking forward to seeing more of it!!! its really well done, i was giggling and kicking my feet while reading. im probably gonna reread it a couple times so if u see any of my crazy ass asks rambling, theorizing, and whatnot (just like this one), dont mind them ^__^
TAKE CARE!!!!
hi oh my gosh it was such a joy to wake up to a long ask THIS MADE MY DAY WAAHH AND ITS JUST STARTED TOO
THANK YOU reader’s personality was one of my favorite parts to write in the series especially after a lightbulb moment where i was like. I’m going to make reader have a cryo vision.
LMFAOO yes I LOVE THE SIBLINGS SO MUCH i knew i was eventually going to make sure you guys know how much i love their dynamic. (you implying i wouldve thought of lyney as an ‘it’ LMFAOO HELPP)
I KNOW WHAT U MEAN!!!! polearms are just the COOLEST weapon. i made a poll a while back asking my readers to see what kind of weapon they want and catalyst won. but at the time i was playing xiao (duh) and i watched this cool fan animation from the genshin anniversary (i dont know if you know it; it had a part two. it was basically about albedo? and the part two had albedo, klee, scara, and raiden. AND RAIDEN!! did this very cool fight scene with a polearm and it BLEW MY MIND! it looked exactly as you described it. water flowey. Rivers. AND SHE ALSO THREW IT!!! i was like. Okay. i have to make this the weapon.)
hehe i dont want to say anything about the arlecchino’s stance on reader leaving but i will say i’m glad to know that you know her well.
im so so glad that u like my series!!! honestly i say it a lot but i didnt expect it to get this much support so each ask like this really makes me feel so blessed T__T and of course i dont mind!!! are you kidding!! it was really really fun to go through your thought process

TW: none!
A/N: i was supposed to post this on the 29th.. we dont talk about it its okay its fine everythings all good, I ALMOST FORGOT thank you to gracie for beta reading this!! she’s the first one on the taglist at the end if you wanna check out her amazing work as well mwah, n e ways enjoy :0
Playlist Pairing: it’s not a singular song this time, listen to the inspo playlist here! 🌘
_
You rushed up the stairs, praying to some deity that you would catch him before he sent himself to bed or was too immersed in some book to answer the door. JJ had called you 7 hours ago, so it wasn’t surprising that you somehow didn’t notice the time passing, plus the fact you had to get gas for your little trip.
Rapping at the door insistently, you were delightfully startled when Spencer opened the door only a few moments later. He was still in his work slacks and button up but tie-less. A quick glance behind him and you could see he had been making himself tea, and the satchel by his feet couldn’t have been dropped more than 10 minutes ago.
“Peanut?”
You were too elated that you had caught him to respond, instead opting to attach yourself to his torso. “You’re back! Oh my gosh, I was so worried you wouldn’t make it back in time, but luckily JJ called me that you were getting back today, but that was over like 7 hours ago, and then I got worried I wouldn’t make it here before you went to bed--” you rambled, but Spencer quickly brought you back down to Earth by removing you from his torso.
“Y/N! What’re you doing here?”
“We’re going on a drive, duh!” you said, before grabbing his wrist and making it halfway out the door before being pulled back.
“Now? I just got home from two back-to-back cases, and it’s almost midnight.”
“Spence, we can’t break tradition now! Unless Mr. Eidetic Memory forgot what tomorrow is--” you interrupt yourself with a very exaggerated gasp, earning an eye roll from Spencer.
“Of course I know what tomorrow is but--” Knowing he would only go on and on to list reasons why he shouldn’t come with you, you used your last resort, the “puppy dog eyes.” All Spencer did was stare at you, both of you knowing fully well that he was capable of resisting, but he didn’t like to. After a whole minute of unnecessary intense staring at each other, Spencer let out a groan and turned around to walk away, which you thought meant that he was going to bed. Instead, you were pleasantly surprised when you heard him half-yell from across his apartment, “I’m just getting my keys!” You squealed excitedly, knowing what was ahead of you both that night.
~
Your car was small, a basic silver Toyota corolla you named Carrie. She smelled of gas and was decked out with teddy bear head pillows and keychains that you asked Spencer to buy, hanging from the rearview mirror, (but only from the cool states). You even kept a tan knitted blanket in Carrie, which Spencer was now wrapped in.
You couldn’t help but notice Spencer’s infatuation with the moon tonight, as he took a long sip from one of his two cups of hot cocoa you guys had picked up on the way.
“Is it a full moon?”
“No,” he said--not in a rude way, just quietly and quickly, like he didn’t want to take his focus away from the moon or it might disappear.
So, you let him be. He was most likely tired, and despite tomorrow, which most people would be restless for, he probably just wanted rest. You almost felt guilty, but your tradition was important to you, and you could only hope that it was important to him as well. 
“Did you know the full moon is one of the most powerful symbols in astrology? It can represent one’s emotional instincts, habits and private aspects of one’s personality. It’s said that while the sun sign of someone represents their head, their moon sign represents their heart. Though, most astrologists say the moon is heavily compulsion-based. Similarly, someone’s sun sign depicts their actions, but their moon sign depicts their reactions,” he told you, still gazing, almost longingly at the moon.
“I didn’t take you for an astrology type of guy, Doctor.”
“I have knowledge in many areas, Y/N, I thought you knew this by now.” You snickered at the understatement. “If the moon smiled, she would resemble you. You leave the same impression of something beautiful, but annihilating,” he quoted.
“Plath--are you flirting with me, Doc?”
“Never, peanut.”
You rolled both your eyes and the windows of your car. Hopefully the blanket and cocoa was enough to warm him. All you wanted was to not blow out his eardrums as you turned up the music. Night Changes by One Direction was playing, and you reminisced on the fact that he originally had never heard of the band, causing your binge session, which consisted of watching their documentary and listening to all 5 of their albums straight. He told you he thought they were okay and he saw the appeal. What he didn’t tell you was that his favorite album was Midnight Memories, but if the way he was humming along to the song now was any evidence, you could’ve been a profiler.
You two listened to your playlist, made specially for the tradition, (Spencer insisted you always pick the music on these trips, since you weren’t very interested in classical piano) and besides the melodies, a comfortable silence encompassed the car for the most of the ride. As the road started to incline and your destination started getting near, you broke it.
“Can you believe-” you started, earning Spencer’s gaze from the sudden conversation, “Can you believe the audacity the calendar has, to change dates in the middle of the night, just like that, while we’re sleeping?” Spencer couldn’t help the chuckle that bubbled out from him. “Like tomorrow… You’re gonna wake up and, and you’re gonna be one year older.” When you said this, you couldn’t help but steal a look at him. He wasn’t making eye contact, just fidgeting with his fingers, but the small smile was there.
“Just like that,” you finished, as you pulled onto the edge of a hill. 
When you showed up at his apartment the night you got your driver’s license, you found this spot. This was your guys’ cliff. The one you guys found on accident, when your car ran out of gas on your first night of the tradition. The same one you guys have had a handful of picnics at and late night rambles about both of your favorite things. Covered in the blanket of light that the moon so graciously provided, it was perfect, and it was both of yours.
Parked atop the hill, you turned off the car and turned to Spencer, who went back to admiring the stars. You were just about to tell him that you would be right back, but you decided he was a little busy, and so you quickly shuffled to grab the box he wasn’t aware was hiding in the trunk.
He finally noticed your disappearance when you came back with a lavender gift box in your lap and an excited smile on your face. “Oh Y/N, you know you didn’t--”
“Save it, Spence. Just open your gift,” you demanded, shoving it into his arms and the smile on your face only lingering. He rarely received real gifts, only for Christmas. You were essentially his only non work friend, and he told everyone at work that he never wanted nor needed anything.
He repeatedly blinked, yet carefully removed the lid. He first saw the small brown envelope which contained a gift card for the local coffee shop near his apartment. Underneath that and the matching lavender tissue paper, he found a tie of no other color than purple and two pairs of socks, one of colorful stripes and the other of baby tardises. (You knew nothing about Doctor Who, but he appreciated the references.) The whole time smiles adorned both your faces. The last item was a copy of The Alchemist. It was one of the main books you two had bonded over, and only a few weeks ago, someone had spilled coffee on their copy. Spencer was against buying another one, saying he could literally recite it in his head word for word if he ever wanted to again, but you stubbornly insisted that it didn’t have the same sentiment, (and of course you were right).
He took the book out the box and held it by the spine as he flitted through the pages, taking note of the annotations, your annotations. When done, he closed it and only opened the cover, finding your heartfelt message. 
Dear old dear old Spence,
I know you’re probably gonna read this in .02 seconds, and probably right in front of me at that. Unless we broke tradition. But I trust that I convinced you. (It was the eyes, wasn’t it?) Regardless, I wanted to wish my very, very best friend a happy birthday. You alone are so strong for going through all that you’ve gone through, stuff that no one should have to even imagine. You are one of the strongest people I know. You need to know that I’m proud of you, Spencer. I’m beyond grateful for you, for having such a caring, resilient, and just incredible friend as you. I hope I don’t need to remind you that I will be here for you, through anything and everything. See you in 500 years :)
Love, with all my heart, Peanut
In only a handful of seconds, he shut the cover once again, and the happiness (and slight gleam) in his eyes became painstakingly evident. “This is your copy?” He asked, mostly rhetorically, because he knew it was. At this point, he was lightly sniffling between words. “Thank- thank you, peanut,” 
“It’s no problem Doc,” you smiled and lightly punched him on the shoulder, “happy birthday, Spencer. I’m glad we didn’t break tradition.” And by the look on his face, well- you were no profiler, but you could safely assume that he was just as glad.

Kazuichi Souda Headcanons
{@sally-wonders​} (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻ I JUST SAW THE DANGANRONPA STUFF AND I AM SCREAMING! dlsfhlfhksg I dont even know where to start, so, at first I was wondering if you have any headcanons for my man Kazuichi, I love him so much! I always wondered how he would be into an actually relationship, because the inflatuation he had with Sonia was a thing, but also serving to compensate in his low self steam, even if he was an ultimate, he also has the historic of abuse and bully by their piers and all  with the sharp teeth and pink hair to try and look cool and all that as well, also he would have to deal with all that happened in dispair island (what wouldnt i give to know how they dealt with that man :'3), especially acepting the fact that Sônia does not like him. Because of the whole dream girl with blonde hair and he kinda projects this idea of her instead of herself. Jqrjjgwrj sorry I babble a lot hehe
I hope you enjoy this long list of a variety of headcanons. These may not hit all of the points you were asking, but I hope this is satisfactory!
Tumblr media
・・・・✪General Headcanons✪ ・・・・
Kazuichi is a very anxious person so he is constantly fiddling with something. Little electronics, his wrench or tools he has on hands, or his fingers. If he can’t mess with something, his anxiety goes through the roof.
He can read in English! He taught himself how to read English so he could read American comic books before they’re officially translated. He also can understand English since he watched so many English action movies. He can speak it, but it can be broken and his accent is very strong.
He can actually sew. Since he learned by watching his mom, he can fix and alter clothing. He can also sew and throw together blankets and stuffed animals. He actually owns a small sewing machine. It isn’t expensive or amazing by any means, but it can get the job done.
He spends a large chunk of his money on keeping up with his hair and keeping his contacts in check. His hair grows extremely fast so his roots show, and he has a horrible habit of sleeping in his contacts since he can’t stand his glasses. 
When you catch him off guard, he just lies about what he is doing. He doesn’t mean to, but it is just a natural reaction since his dad would get mad at him no matter what his answer was. Because of this, you have to give him a moment to calm down and go through the 3 different answers he has before he can actually say what’s going on. This also happens if he is on his computer or his phone. He naturally hides the screen, even if he is just looking at car parts or how to fix a certain thing.
He can be a bit perverted and oblivious to somebody's flaws if he finds himself becoming attracted to them. Despite this, he is honestly quite the sweetheart and would have a heart attack if somebody were to return his feelings. 
He has pretty bad trust issues and this can cause tension between him and others. This also causes him to believe things that aren’t always true based off of his distrust alone.
He doesn’t actually like his appearance, even after he changed it. He originally changed it to keep away bullies and get the attention of women, but when he looks in the mirror, he doesn’t exactly like it. He didn’t mind his black hair or his normal eye color, he just hated his glasses.
Will flinch if someone raises their hand at him because of his fathers past abuse. He can’t help but flinch, and this is horrible with men who are taller than him. Safe to say that Gundhams mannerisms and weird poses aren't appreciated.
・・・・✪Relationship Headcanons✪ ・・・・
As stated before if someone were to return his feelings, he would be so lost on what to do. He never had anybody treat him with much kindness and the fact that someone he admires likes him back is just mind boggling to him.
I headcanon him personally to be Bisexual. He may have a physical lea for women, but he does find himself genuinely attracted to men as well (@Hajime) I think the big thing that decides if he likes you or not is if he thinks he can trust you.
Due to the past abuse and issues regarding friends and classmates, he would need constant reassurance. He will have sudden doubts and will become extremely anxious at the idea of you leaving him for a variety of reasons. He will ask if you want him to change his appearance or something about his personality, and it never fails that he is shocked if you say you love how he is.
He can sometimes get lost in his childlike fantasies. He will change his personality at times and make himself believe things that aren’t true. The best thing to do when this happens is to just give him a quick kiss on the cheek and remind him that you are you, and not some fantasy. He will apologize and snap out of it (For the most part)
He isn’t the best at initiating things. He would do better with someone who is more willing to make the first move. Be the one to grab his hand to hold it, Open your arms so he can snuggle against your chest, Cup his cheeks to pull him into a sweet kiss, Open the door for him and press your hand against his lower back in public areas so he feels more calm. He really would appreciate it.
Some of his favorite dates are the ones that result in tons of affection. Building blanket forts before having an action movie marathon is his favorite thing. It always results in the two of you tangled impossibly close to each other. If he is the one being held, having you play with the messily chopped locks instantly has him weak. He will rest against your chest while watching the movies, looking up to steal kisses and nip at your exposed skin in an attempt to steal your attention away from the screen. If he is the one holding you, your hair will be played with and expect him to caress your body a lot. If he gets distracted from the movie, he will let his eyes and hands wonder. It’s not in a perverse way, but more curious. 
He actually studies how your body moves and how you feel. He is the kind of guy who is very interested in seeing how your “Parts” move and how things work. It’s not perverted (Usually) but instead it’s very sweet in an unusual way. He will find out unusual things he loves about you by watching how you move. Like how you stretch to reach things on a tall shelf, or how your body curls up into itself when your cold. Just how you move and your body language is something that always has Kazuichi staring. 
If he can’t be with you physically, expect many phone calls and video calls. He calls you every time he misses your voice or feels himself starting to get anxious. The most common phone calls become the ones that happen before bed. Kazuichi gets extremely anxious when he is alone or at his house with his dad. Because of this, it becomes a routine where he calls you before bed and falls asleep on the phone with you. If you love to sing, sing and play instruments on the phone to soothe him. If you like to read, read to him until you hear his soft snores on the other line. If you like to ramble, ramble to him as he hums along til he is asleep. 
Also don’t hang up. Seriously, he will hang up in the morning. If he has a nightmare, or something happens, he finds comfort knowing that you are right there when he needs you most. 
He doesn’t mind chasing after you, but please let him have something so he knows that all of the chasing is worth it. This is the man you go to if you want somebody to control. He just wants your love and attention, even if you are just using him. If he falls for you during the killing game, he won’t hesitate to kill for you.
・・・・✪NSFW Headcanons✪ ・・・・
Aged 18+ and Kink discussion below this post
Souda loves to leave hickeys and love bites. He thinks they’re so sexy and attractive, and will leave them all over you if you let him. He also ADORES having you mark all over him and will whine if you tease him by pulling away before a mark can be made. If you really want to make him feel loved, make heart shaped hickeys all over him. He will cry because he feels so loved.
He is a switch with a more submissive lean, but he does have his more dominant moments. If he is being submissive, expect him to whine and cry about things a lot. He can be a total brat, but its so worth it when you get to hear him moan and beg for more. He may not scream, but he is quite loud.. If he is being dominant, he growls and groans a lot. He doesn’t mean to, he just gets so caught up in the moment that he doesn’t even notice the noises he makes.
He has ended up with you in his lap in his car a few times. He just can’t help it. The most memorable time was at the drive in theater. You both were in the back and it just ended up with your hands being bound by a seat belt as he sat between your legs until he couldn’t handle waiting anymore. 
He CLEARLY is into body worship. He loves watching how you react as his hands sit and press themselves against your body. He will compliment absolutely everything about you, kissing your skin as much as possible, and let his hands and eyes do all of the work.
He is so into oral, both giving and receiving. He can sit between your legs pleasing you until you are shaking and can’t handle anymore. Just how you taste is so intoxicating with him, and he always is trying to get more. If you are sucking him off, he will pant and moan and whine the whole time. His hand is tangled in your hair or the sheets until he can’t take it any more and cums. If you swallow, he will be so turned on, but he also loves cumming on you
Kazuichi will hump and grind against anything. Your ass, your thighs, a pillow, clothing, the bed, anything. He has a high sex drive, so he has to take care of it often. Even when he is sleeping, he will grind against you if he is having a dirty dream. Hopefully you don’t mind, because he is actually quite embarrassed when this happens.
He has a fantasy of you waking him up with oral. He has quite a few dirty dreams, so the idea of you helping him out while he wakes up is a dream for him.
Praise kink. Seriously. Praise this man. He will CRY if you constantly praise him during sex. He was completely unaware of how much it would effect him during sex.

thank you if you can answer my questions, hopefully all 5 parts went through, and sorry that it ended up being kind of long and rambly. i really appreciate the way you answer people and thought you'd be able to provide some good insight which is why i wanted to hear your opinions if that's okay. thanks so much again, i really do appreciate any advice, and i hope you're doing well and having a good day or night. take care for now!
HI NONNIE! I GOT ALL YOUR ASKS AND ILL DO MY BEST TO AWNSER EVERYTHING I CAN. I DO TRY MY BEST TO BE HELPFUL, AND IM GLAD YOU THINK IM GOOD AT IT.
I HOPE THIS HELPS BUT IM VERY LONG-WINDED TODAY APPERENTLY
NOW, TO BEGIN. TYPICALLY WHEN ARGUING FOR NEOPRONOUNS AGAINST THE ARGUMENT YOU HAVE BEEN PRESENTED YOU HAVE TO GO FOR MORE... WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN ASKING PEOPLE TO CALL YOU A SLUR OR WITH "BLMSELF" IS THAT THOSE THINGS CAUSE ACTUAL HARM TO OTHER PEOPLE. THERES ALSO THAT THERE ISNT ANYTHING WRONG WITH PIZZASELF, IT JUST SORT OF? SOUNDS SILLY? ITS NOT HURTING ANYONE, AND THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A LITTLE SILLY IF IT MAKES YOU FEEL HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE. A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HATE NOUNSELF ARE GOING OFF THE BASE REACTION THAT ITS SILLY/DUMB SO ID KEEP THAT IN MIND. (FYI IF YOU GO BY PIZZASELF YOURE AWESOME. YOU DONT DESERVE ANY FLACK YOU GET FOR DOING SO AND KEEP BEING YOU BECAUSE YOURE COOL! 8}) BUT YES I AGREE, MOST IF NOT ALL PEOPLE WITH THAT ARGUMENT DO NOT USE NEOPRONOUNS THEMSELVES.
PLEASE REMEMBER THOUGH THAT IF IT WAS UNINETIONAL WHEN YOU INVALIDATE SOMEONE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT AND MISTAKE, AND YOU WILL MOST LIKELY BE FORGIVEN. WE ALL DO AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER AND I PROMISE IT DOES NOT MAKE YOU A BAD PERSON.
COMING FROM THAT, THERE IS A VERY SIZABLE CHUNK OF NOUNSELF USERS WHO ARE LEGITAMATE AT LEAST THE LEAST, FROM MY PERSONAL OBSERVATION. A PATTERN I THINK IVE NOTICED IN (A PORTION OF) THE PEOPLE WHO I KNOW 100% ARE SINCERE IS USUALLY PEOPLE WILL SELECT NOUN PRONOUNS BASED ON HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT THEMSELVES? FOR THEM ITS DONE AS PART OF GENDER PERFORMANCE TO INVOKE A CERTAIN FEELING, LIKE SOMEONE WHO FEELS VERY CUTESY MIGHT GO FOR BUN/BUNS FOR EXAMPLE. ITS NOT ALWAYS THAT WAY THOUGH.
SORRY I GOT OFF TRACK. ANYWAYS, NOUNSELF TROLLS ARE SOMEWHAT DIFFICULT TO SPOT DUE TO IT BEING WELL. HARD TO MAKE A "PARODY" OF, REALLY. WITH NON-NOUNSELF ID JUST CHECK PRONOUNCIATIONS AND SUCH BEFORE PROCEEDING. FOR THE MOST PART THOUGH I WOULD TRY TO HANDLE YOUR FEARS AS BEST AS POSSIBLE? INSTANCES OF TROLLING LIKE THAT BLOW UP BECAUSE THEY ARE SCARY AND GENERATE CLICKS, THAT DOESNT MEAN THAT THEYRE COMMON NOR UNIVERSAL. IF IT CONTINUES TO BOTHER YOU ID SUGGEST DOING SOMETHING I LEARNED IN THERAPY CALLED A BELIEF EXPERIMENT (DOING A SMALLER, ACHIVABLE ACTION TO ATTEMPT TO PROVE OR DISPROVE WORRIED/ANXIOUS THOUGHTS. ID USUALLY DO THIS WITH A SUPPORTIVE FRIEND TO HAVE YOUR BACK OR SOMETHING OF THAT SORT)
GENERALLY IF YOU THINK YOUR FRIENDS WOULD FIND IT ODD BUT WOULD STILL BE RELITIVELY ACCEPTING ID TREAT IT LIKE A NORMAL COMING OUT OF THE CLOSET WITH A FEW EXTRA STEPS. ID USUALLY SUGGEST TELLING YOUR FRIENDS PERSONALLY BEFORE UPDATING YOUR SOCIALS, BUT THATS UP TO YOU. ID ALSO GO WITH ANY TRANS FRIENDS YOU HAVE FIRST IF THATS AN OPTION, BECAUSE USUALLY ITS EASIER TO EXPLAIN HOW YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE WITH NEOS IN THAT SITUATION. IT MIGHT SUCK BUT ID SUGGEST THAT WHEN/IF THEY ARE MILDLY INSENSITIVE JUST EXPLAIN THAT IT BOTHERED YOU AND WHY, HOPEFULLY THEYLL GET IT.
TYPICALLY MY RESPONSE TO SOMEONE BEING RUDE TO ME IS NOT... IDEAL SO I DONT KNOW HOW TO ADVISE YOU ON THAT, BUT GENERALLY YOU DONT HAVE TO DEFEND THE FACT YOU EXIST IF YOURE NOT UP FOR IT. USE THE BLOCK BUTTON AS LIBERALLY AS YOU LIKE, ITS A DEFENCE IN ITS OWN RIGHT.

MESSAGES AS FOLLOWS, WITH SEPERATIONS REMOVED:
so i've been using neopronouns for less than a week and every day since i started, i've been getting negative reactions. the negativity comes from strangers, so it doesn't hurt me as personally as if friends were doing this (i actually haven't said anything to my friends about my neopronouns yet). anyhow, when people try to argue with me, i tell them that i don't see why they can't be respectful and call someone whatever makes them feel happy and comfortable. one reaction i got was "just because something makes someone happy doesn't make it valid" and compared it to letting someone drink poison if drinking poison is what makes them happy. then i get a lot of people who bring up stuff like "but what if the pronouns that make me feel valid contain a slur? / what if i use pizzaself? / what if i only go by BLMself pronouns? you'd be invalidating me!!!" and they try to use my own words against me since i've previously said "even if you don't understand it you should call people by what makes them feel valid." i know these people don't even use neopronouns to begin with but tbh it still does start to make me feel guilty? i'm nd and i can't always pick up social cues or sarcasm so i would feel horrible if i did unwillingly invalidate someone. but i'm also kind of paranoid because so much trolling has been going around recently like one video where someone tricked another person into using neopronouns that sounded like a slur when said out loud, recorded it, and put it online. i don't always know who is being sincere and who wants to trick people, particularly with nounself pronouns, like the pizzaself thing. finally, i wanted to go back to the topic of not telling my friends about my neopronouns yet. i feel like if i just start to put my neopronouns on profiles that my friends can view, it'll seem odd to them that i never said anything before, but i also don't know how to bring up in a personal conversation "i found out about some neopronouns i like and i've started using them" without it being awkward. i don't think my friends would make fun of me but i do think they'd find neopronouns 'weird' in general and maybe act kind of insensitive without meaning to, like not getting it. how would you react to the rude ppl? i know i could ignore them but i feel like they take that as them 'winning' or me running out of ways to defend my point of view. and how would you have your friends find out about about you wanting to use neopronouns?

u know what. i will give u all the lore u want. i’m 18, will be 19 decently soon so we are close to the same age. also the other band was r5. i have sent u asks about them and tde in the past. i followed you for atl content and got whiplash when u started posting about the first band i ever loved. i was like 10 when their first album dropped i have been around for entirely too long. i had a wattpad account and wrote r5 fanfic from the tender age of like 11-13. i discovered 5sos i don’t even remember how but i think the funniest part about it is that i never really got into their music?? i got into them as people by watching like interviews and compilations. and i mean at this point that was a While ago. SPEAKING OF FANFIC i did that like ao3 year in review thing like a month ago??? and you were my top author of the year so far. i read a lot of fic on ao3. your fics are very lovely and some of my favs. moving on. will not lie my music taste is kinda embarrassing and has barely changed since i was like 14 lmfao. been listening to a lot of waterparks lately. have been since their album dropped in may. i essentially go through phases of listening to solely one artist. or one playlist i made. most recently my taste has consisted of a lot of all time low, waterparks, paramore + hayley’s solo music (it really had to grow on me BUT now that it has it is very good), also been on a nostalgic r5 kick as well. hot take it has been quite difficult for me to get into tde’s music and i don’t really know why. some songs i absolutely adore (omg plz don’t come around is my fav by them. also scared of heights, feel you now, welcome to the end of your life are top songs too) but others i’m just. i have never liked preacher man and it’s the first song they released after they rebranded in like 2017. i love to see them finally free to do what they love music-wise but some of it is just. hard to listen to. i’m supposed to see them live in november (like 4 days before my birthday, kinda cool) and it’s the second time the show has been rescheduled so hopefully it happens. i’ve seen them live before but not since they rebranded. they’re dropping an album in october that i will have like a month to learn so it better be a fucking banger. now i’m just rambling about tde because i love ross and rocky with my entire being. rydel is annoying these days tho. also she named her baby fucking SUPER what kind of name is that why would you do that to a child. anyways. you ever need useless random r5 lore, i’m the person to ask. it’s the effect of being around to like a band for like 8 years. in conclusion my music taste? terrible. a cluster fuck. i will listen to luke’s solo album next time i’m focusing on a task because i like listening to new music when i’m concentrating on something. there’s some other bella lore for the day. - other bella
OH ALSO yeah idk. i’m currently on mobile. when i looked at your blog on mobile the first time last night it was blue. but now it’s pink. i have yet to see it on desktop but when i do i am sure it will be equally as pretty. - other bella again
hell YES some other bella lore. let's dig in
oooooh how soon? whens your birthday? 👀👀👀
ahhh yes i do remember the r5 asks !!!! that was a fun little era of clumsyclifford content huh. dont worry i wrote 1d fic on wattpad from ages 11-13 as well sooo same hat. that is super funny tho actually that you never bothered to listen to their music u really were staying loyal to r5 good for you
ao3 year in review???????????? say more?????? what is this?????????? thats very flattering regardless omg im going to ask you what your favorites are because im a leo just kidding its because i crave validation and im curious what ones you read/have read. also thank you for reading my fics lol
oh yeah theres a new parx album!! i dont listen actively to them but i really like all the parx music i know. im scared to get really into them because im genuinely afraid to fall in love with awsten knight. like im not joking thats the reason. i have to listen to more of their music tho cos i really enjoy what i know so...if you have recs...👀 i'm listening
mm thats a good lineup of music to listen to!! paramore is another band i never got super into, i meant to and then i listened to all of riot and then i learned that hayley williams is like pretty christian and that a few paramore songs are more christian than i anticipated and now i'm like. on the fence about it all. but i wanna listen to after laughter i just havent gotten around to it yet. and i did like riot. i like paramore. i like dead horse by hayley, i didnt like the other single she released, and i didnt listen to her solo music because i didnt like the first single so im not sure if i would actually like it? i am accepting vibe checks in that category though i dont really know what kinda music it is. actually now that im thinking about it doesnt she have two albums now???? i feel like the answer is yes. anyway. moving on
that is very fair the thing abt the tde stuff is that it's all so interesting and so different from every other tde song like they really just do something unique in each song which i think is awesome but also makes it hard to like every song bc it's not like one universal vibe you kinda have to decide for each song if you're enjoying it or not. i do LOVEEEE tde though, im very jealous that you're seeing them perform. although i dont know why im not, just looked it up and theyre gonna be in new york on november 24th which is a sunday so i miiiight.....be able to go.......maybe...........their website says the 25th which is a monday so maybe i was under the impression the show was on a monday?? but the ticket site says sunday. 👀 we will just...have to see......what we see.............
ANYWAY
RIGHT im so excited for their album i was mistakenly thinking it was coming out the same night as luke's but it was just the new single which i really liked on a first listen but have to listen to again cos ive only heard it the one time. but i hope it fucks. they announced that the album is called girlfriend which personally i think is really fun so i have high hopes
SHE NAMED HER CHILD FUCKIN WHAT NOW???????????????
wait eight years thats a long time but also thats roughly how long ive been around 1d wtf........insane. madness. and in fairness probably roughly how long ive been around 5sos but i took a hiatus from both of those bands during high school so im not sure how much i can count all of those years. ive been around all time low for six years though, that's pretty good. anywayyyy i hope you like luke's album but no pressure man listen whenever you feel like it. LOVE YOU

(excuse my bad spelling/grammar)
Ok, so
I dont expect this to garner much attention (if any at all), but i just wanna put my thoughts out there, yknow, because what i just found out is pretty cool, so its nice to just shout into a void about it.
So, for most of my life (which isnt that long yet), i have been able to hear things or see things that many others i know have not. Or sense bad vibes from someone/something, like a bad room/person etc. But since I get anxious about lots of stuff (im actually in the process of getting diagnosed with anxiety), I just brushed it off as paranoia and eventually all that happened less frequently.
Well recently i got more into witchcraft/paganism, and would work with tarot cards and crystals, etc. But whenever i did, the night after, all the weird buzzing/white noise would get louder and i would sense bad energy in my room.. HOLD ON NOW, this is where the story gets interesting...
So one day about a week ago, my mum goes to a clairvoyant (psycic) and gets a reading. She goes with the intention of connecting with some of our late loved ones, and checking if she should go through with a major surgery (the surgery obviously wasnt life or death, it was optional but would optimise her way of life) BUT SHE CAME BACK WITH SO MUCH MORE INFO...
So she went there and i dont remeber all the specifics of what she told me happened, but the phsycic did mention that my mum was a druid/healer, had celtic roots, and that i was most likely a clarevoyant/healer and that they would mentor me and guide me through being a baby witch and hopefully make smarter choices with my practices.
But they advised me not to do anymore tarot readings or just witchcraft at all until i see them, but yule is coming up (i'm in the southern hemisphere) and i dont want to miss the festivities... oh well i know its wiser to play it safe. Congrats if you made it through my horrendous spelling and rambling to the very end btw. Dont know if anyone will even read this, but oh well.... quoting from shrek: 'better out then in'!

{Special} College!AU Jungwoo
major: library sciences + information 
minor: entomology (much to ten’s horror)
sports: was invited to the soccer team by yuta, but he’d rather play it for fun not for competition. likes to go to yoga - tries to get a grumpy taeil to go with him
clubs: showed up to chinese culture club so he could see sicheng - who kicked him out after three minutes, him and yuta both go to earth coalition meetings because they like nature, and sometimes jungwoo will pop by the conspiracy club to hear people ramble about aliens (he thinks they’re cool)
jungwoo tends to confuse students who arent his close friends because,,,,,,
he’s really really kind and affectionate - but he also seems like he’s always stuck in some kind of daydream too
like he’ll be in class, and he’ll be able to answer questions and take tests
but his voice is so cushiony soft and fluttery that it seems almost like he’s answering in some soft pink haze
or maybe that’s just his aura
it’s so ?????
but his friends know that ,,,, that’s just how jungwoo is
he’s incredibly open and relaxed - never anxious about anything but also,,,,,never really cautious either
so it’s natural for him to walk into things - or say whatever it is that crosses his mind 
like the amount of times he’s just randomly said “i love you” outloud to taeil? doyoung? jaehyun?
like on public transit or in front of literal professors
everyone getting into a frenzy because wait - wait you love yuta??? and yuta waving his hands around like nO nO he means it like friends like it’s just what he says
there have been many rumors about jungwoo and like,,,,every member of nct on campus
but also it’s not just nct - jungwoo is just naturally touchy - naturally inclined to show his appreciation with little nudges and batting eyelashes
and he was born to flirt really
not in a,,,,,,,, pick you up kind of way or a sleazy ‘let me slide into the dms’ kind of way
just,,,,,,,a kind of enchanting way
that makes people feel all warm and cared for ,,,,, his handsome face and soft voice makes you feel like you’ve just been hugged by the worlds softest teddy bear
his major is library sciences because ,,, everyone agrees ,,, it matches him pretty well
archiving, reading, and helping others all are things jungwoo enjoys doing 
because it’s not dramatic at all - it’s systematic and having a routine soothes jungwoo 
plus his tall, slim figure in a grandpa sweater and some cute big framed glasses librarian-chic circa the 80s,,,,,,,,he’d be so cute c’mon
is that friend who gets books down from the top shelf and hands them to haechan with a smile 
and haechan is clutching the book like “give me your legs. let me be 5′11.”
jungwoo: what
haechan: nothing. long legs. dont look at me.
because he’s also a nature fan - everything from mountain hikes to visiting public gardens 
he’s not afraid of bugs
at all
taeyong has on several occasions texted him to come get a spider out of his dorm 
and everytime, you know jungwoo does the thing where he puts the paper under the spider and then a cup over it and releases it back outside 
saying something like “live free, small one” while taeyong wide eyed beside him is like “don’t. come. back. bitch.” tgkdjflsk
so at first he just took some classes from the entomology minor for fun - until he sorta accidentally completed all the credits for it anyway
so that’s why he just added it on at the end of the sem like look guys i got a minor :)
ten: cool for what?!
jungwoo: bug studies :)
ten, one eye twitching: t-t-t-heres bu-bugs on c-campus
jungwoo got invited to a couple of sports teams - he’s pretty strong and pretty fit, but the whole aggressive competition of it puts jungwoo off
he’d rather just do something for fun, and really dislikes being forced to train or anything like that 
took up yoga after reading one of sicheng’s textbooks and now he goes to student run classes - always trying to bring taeil along
because quote unquote - taeil’s tiny body is riddled with stress and maybe, possibly demonic energy 
you bet he’s also the type to do an hour of yoga or go on a long walk and come back and eat like. everything from the cafeteria
and then steal some of johnny’s hidden snacks
and then on top of that ask lucas to buy him a milkshake 
he’s a bottomless pit when it comes to his stomach,,,,it’s a scientific mystery 
he’s got an ability to befriend anyone, although sometimes his need to cling on can be a bit much,,,,
poor jaehyun’s hand fell asleep when they all went to watch a movie and jungwoo just basically leaned all his weight onto him and jaehyun is too nice to say anything
but he’s also got a little bit of a problem,,,,,,,
he’s oblivious
completely and utterly oblivious 
which is why it’s a headache and much more to have a crush on jungwoo
which you have had since hmmm let’s see oh right 
FRESHMAN ORIENTATION 
when you’d arrived late, panicked, with no one to sit with let alone anywhere to sit
since the auditorium was overflowing
till a tall boy with a gentle smile and matching voice took your wrist and asked
“would you like this seat?”
ever since then you’d dreamed of that moment - of the boy who’d sensed your absolute dread and embarrassment
and who let you sit down, while he stood in the aisle - hands in his pockets - barely listening to the whole welcome celebration
you had practically embedded jungwoo’s face into your mind 
because he was in ever aspect - your type
your dreamy, prince with a heart made a gold
the only problem was,,,,,,,,,you were more than ready to confess but any attempt you made
was thwarted
not by rivals or even jungwoos friends - who all were cheering you on 
(all of nct claimed you were basically as transparent as a window with your feelings - hearts swirling your head whenever jungwoo as much as blinked)
it was always jungwoo who just,,,,,could not grasp the situation for the life of him
like that time you had been invited out to the seasonal fair and jaehyun and yuta pulled you aside on the way there
whispering eagerly that they’d hatched a plan to get you and jungwoo alone during one of the firework celebrations
you’d felt your heart race - almost burst from your chest
but you were thankful that his friends seemed just as excited for you 
and when jaehyun had “casually” told everyone - but you and jungwoo - to follow him over to the food stands
you had hesitated, but turned to tell jungwoo there was something you needed to say
he’d looked down, eyes a soft autumn brown
“we’re all alone”
“y-yeah,,,,,,i think this might be my chance to tell you that i like-”
the gigantic bursting noise from the first firework had made it hard for your already shaking and tiny voice to have been heard
jungwoo, distracted by it, had just marveled up at the colors in the night sky
and pointed them out
“you should tell me after the fireworks, i couldnt hear you well”
“ok,,”
but that didn’t happen,,,,not when right after the ceremony ended - jungwoo had spotted taeil in the crowd and pulled you along toward him
yuta and jaehyun, when meeting up later, could tell by the dejected look on your face that nothing went as planned
and you just shrugged it off - there would be more times,,,,,,hopefully
and there were
they just always ended up badly
like when you’d tried to give jungwoo valentines chocolates with a hand written love letter but the box - having been in your bag the whole day - had melted all over the letter
making it unreadable and sticky
or when taeyong had offered you to be jungwoo’s tutor for this elective he had to take
and you showed up diligently everyday to the library for a week - till jungwoo announced one day through text that he’d been switched into a much easier class
you had even once written “i like you so much” on his cast when he’d had to wear it after an accident in the library
and jungwoo had read it - in front of you - smiled up and said
“what a nice thing to say to a friend”
at some point you’d just,,,,,,,come to terms with the fact that either jungwoo really couldnt take a hint or that he was trying the nicest ways to reject you
which hurt,,,,,but you tried to cheer yourself up with the sentiment that at least you got to be his friend
and through liking him you’d gotten to make even more friends with the great guys of nct
but everytime you were alone - studying your textbook or working on a project 
and you’d find yourself thinking back to orientation 
jungwoo’s touch on your skin, his voice echoing in your ears, the natural feeling of consideration and sweetness that shone off of him like diamonds 
it made you grip your pen a little to hard, because the memory - instead of filling you to the brim with bliss like it used
now just,,,,,,,left you feeling like something sharp had wedged its way into your chest
whats worse was,,,,,because you’d always been one to wear your emotions on your sleeve
everyone knew you were hurting
even though you put in all the effort to hide it
taeyong had come to calling your smiles forced and even sicheng, who liked to keep his nose out of other peoples emotional businesses, had patted your back whenever jungwoo was around
whispering that you just had to keep strong
yuta and jaehyun, who’d you grown close to, and who also knew jungwoo well
were the most sympathetic
“i just,,,,i dont think he’s rejecting you”
yuta would insist and you’d just slump foreward
“then what? he really doesnt know? i could shout it from the liberal arts building rooftop and he’d still think i was joking,,,”
jaehyun sighs 
“i cant tell, but i dont think you should give up. not until jungwoo either gives you a straight answer or ,,,,,,,, he just starts dating someone else”
at this, yuta perks up, his already mischievous features curling up into a grin
“hey - that’ right! jungwoo hasnt ever expressed interest in anyone else!”
“doesn’t he just,,,,,show love to everyone? i think it’d be hard to tell who he doesnt like ,,,,,”
you mutter, feeling the dark cloud of one-sided feelings cast heavy over your shoulders
“i mean,,,he’s nice and affectionate - but in a puppy kind of way. like he’ll give attention to those around him, but it’s never you know - it’s never romantic.”
you want to tell yuta and jaehyun that it’s fine. you need to sulk and then you’ll really pick yourself up and it’ll be fine
but neither of them look like they’re going to have it - and to be honest neither of them look like they believe you’ll get over it
because your love for jungwoo comes from the most pure place 
and a love like that is hard to come by
maybe they just pity me or maybe they just want jungwoo to get a significant other to focus on 
you think, huffing out a sigh
“hey i think there’s one way we can find out if jungwoo’s interested!”
your eyes dart up to meet yuta’s
jaehyun clasps his hands and gives his friend a look as well
“every semester the college campus votes for superlatives right? and one of them is cutest couple! the prize is like a two hundred dollar shopping coupon too - we should ask jungwoo if he’ll enter with you!”
you shoot up and shake your head - putting your hands out
“yuta we can’t just ask jungwoo to pretend to be my boyfriend!”
“yeah yuta,,,,,,that might not be the best way to find out jungwoo’s true fee-”
but yuta is dead set, he takes his phone out and hums as he scrolls through his contacts
clicking on one his fingers fly across his phone keyboard
and in a matter of seconds there’s a notification
you and jaehyun lean over to see
‘huh i didn’t know jungwoo was dating - but sure, ill put them in as a couple. im going to need their picture though, for the voting.’
‘no worries!! one of our buddies is a film major who will take some and ill send them your way!’
‘ok, so jungwoo and-’
your eyes widen when you see your name
and yuta closes his phone before you can sink back down into your seat
and jaehyun looks worriedly between you two
“no all we have to do is tell jungwoo! ill do that - jaehyun, go get johnny. we need our photographer!”
you feel something between adrenaline and anxiety when jungwoo walks through the door and into johnnys room
yuta jumps up before you can even greet jungwoo
and throws a hand around his friend
“listen - we all really want that coupon and you make the cutest couple so - let’s do our best to win, yeah?!”
jungwoo doesnt really acknowledge him
he more or less fixes his gaze on you
and it makes you feel hot under the collar of your shirt
“are you ok with this? if it makes you uncomfortable, we shouldnt do it.”
he says, calm and gentle
you want to say; are you kidding? couple posing with you? this is my dream,,,,,,,,
but at the same time it feels so weird ,,,, doing this,,,,, for fake
“johnny get your camera, let’s get the two lovebirds ready~”
yuta drags jungwoo off before you can answer
and johnny turns to you with his nikon
“i think you’d be better of just asking jungwoo out than going through all this trouble.”
“ive tried asking him out,,,,it always backfires,,,”
you mumble and johnny shrugs
“well you know i love drama and i can smell it on this situation, c’mon lets go take photos with your boyfriend”
your heart pounds inside your chest at the word
jungwoo? my boyfriend? if only that were true
yuta picks some secluded part of the campus for the photos
there are nicely lined trees in the back and jungwoo looks over at you when you sort of hunch over
“i know they want the coupon, but i would rather you tell me if this is too much-”
he voices his concern again and you shake your head
“no no, im fine. are you?”
he blinks a bit before letting his handsome face glow with a smile
“sure, if you are ok - so am i.”
yuta positions himself beside johnny, proclaiming that he knows what will make you and jungwoo look like a realiistic couple
when jungwoo looks down to fix his shoes, yuta winks your way and mouths
‘this will totally work’
but you,,,,,,,,dont feel so sure
the first poses are pretty innocent and sweet
holdings hands while looking up at the sky, a shot of you and jungwoo sharing a laugh, a pose where jungwoo is reaching out to touch your cheek
but then yuta gets,,,devilish
“back hug them!”
“why don’t you pretend like you’re leaning in for a kiss and then put your hand out to block it!”
“oh oh lets have you sit in jungwoo’s lap!”
the last one almost sets you (quite literally) on fire 
“yuta that’s too mu-”
but jungwoo is sitting down on a bench nearby, motioning that you can join him
you stare down and jungwoo gives another comforting smile
but then he says
“it’s just for the picture, don’t worry”
and suddenly this whole charade, this whole dream moment for you just shatters
this is all fake. he feels nothing toward me.
“i cant”
you cast your eyes down and johnny sets his camera down
yuta looks like he’s desperately trying to think of something to say to ease the sudden tension 
but it’s too late
“youre right, even for a fake photo this is too muc-”
“no,,,i cant do this.”
you look at yuta, but he’s blurry
everything is blurry from the tears that start welling up in your eyes
“i,,im just going to go. im sorry.”
and with that you’re running away, absolutely mortified that you even went through with this whole ploy 
you dont look back
you dont see jungwoo get up, look at yuta and johnny and ask if he should chase after you
you dont see the sudden horror on his face - because the idea of hurting you,,,,,,,,,is something jungwoo would never do
you dont see any of it
you’re stuck in your own thoughts
you’d just wanted jungwoo to know how you felt 
you didn’t want to force him into a weird situation like that, you didn’t want to hear the words
“it’s just for the picture”
because for you it wasnt that - you liked him so much that every touch of his fingers against your skin
ever smile 
every word he spoke
it made you feel like the world around you was bursting with hearts and love
making you weak at the knees, making you absolutely lovestruck
but you think,,,,,if there’s one thing you got out of it
of seeing how easily jungwoo could do all those poses, how he thought so little of you as an interest
that he could even let you sit on his lap with no qualm at all,,,,,,,
you really didn’t mean as much to him as he meant to you
he just saw you as a friend
and your fear of him, all these times, quietly rejecting you - it was true
you could thank yuta for at least helping you see that
you get a couple of texts and missed calls afterwords
all of them are worried and from yuta, jaehyun, and even johnny 
who awkwardly asks the group if they still want to submit what photos they do have
but none are from jungwoo
go figure, he’s probably so annoyed at me now. making him do this stupid photo-shoot, enter this stupid contest, and then having me runaway like some big baby
you’re so embarrassed that you turn your phone off and tell yourself that from now on 
you’re going to do your best to forget kim jungwoo 
no matter what it takes
of course,,,,,life never works the way you want it to 
and so, as if by some cruel joke, the remainder of the semester you end up bumping into jungwoo everywhere
at the library - where you made sure to go on his off day, but it turned out he’d switched shifts recently
in the cafeteria - where for some reason it was jungwoo of all people sitting in your favorite seat by the window
at the bubble tea place around the corner which was usually to packed to even get into
somehow, jungwoo had squeezed in past those students and ended up shoulder to shoulder with you
each time trying to greet you with the usual serene, angelic smile of his
while you made up some bizarre excuse to get away
it was like your life had flipped upside down
instead of jumping on chances to be close to him, you were avoiding him like the plague
until finally - you couldnt do it anymore 
“talk. to. jungwoo.”
yuta says, dropping his backpack down on the table in front of you and leaning over to narrow his eyes 
you try to keep your own gaze on your textbook
but yuta is faster and stronger then you, so when he snatches it from under your nose
you have no choice but to comply
“why? i dont want to keep making a fool of myself. plus im,,,im really getting over him!”
yuta huffs some hair from his face
“i doubt that. i just said his name and your whole body looked like it was going through a shockwave”
you try to grit your teeth, think of some kind of comeback
but yuta is right - your heart’s deadset on jungwoo 
no matter how many other boys youve tried to introduce to it
how youve lied in bed on instagram looking at all the campus cuties and none of them ever even matched up to jungwoo in your opinion
“yuta - it’s my destiny to love him and get rejected by  him. i cant fix it”
“yes you can. just talk to him.”
“what is talking going to do-”
yuta looks at you so intently that you nearly topple out of your chair
“believe me ,,,,,, this time i promise it’s going to change things for you.”
so you agree
not because yuta kind of maybe intimidated you a little back there,,,
but because if anything you feel guilty knowing now that jungwoo does want to talk to you
you’d just assumed you disappearing from his life wouldnt matter,,,,,,
who were you to him anyway? right?
but there you are, standing outside of his dorm 
palms sweaty,,,,,your heart beat so loud you think the RA is going to come over and tell you to keep it down
and it takes you ten whole minutes to even knock on the door
jungwoo opens it, his hair looks a little wet as if he’s just taken a shower
and he’s got simple joggers and a long sleeve shirt on
he looks so natural and relaxed,,,,,yet still so perfectly handsome,,,,,
“yu-yuta said you wanted to talk to me”
you get to it, thinking that you just want to hear whatever it is jungwoo has to say quickly 
so you can curl up under your sheets and bawl your eyes out about it later
“i did, i know we saw each other a couple of times but you were always busy so -”
he shrugs easily and takes a set on his bed
you kind of shift your weight, standing in the middle of the room
feeling like the small walls of the dorm are going to close in on you at any second
“s-so whats up?”
you feign cheeriness to try and get past the butterflies gnawing at your stomach
“i want to apologize,,,,im sorry about the whole photo-shoot thing. but more than that, im sorry that i was so ,,,”
jungwoo seems to struggle to find the word, he scrunches up his nose
and you internally tell cupid to not shoot another arrow at your heart - you knew he was cute
but being this close and seeing him be this cute all ,,,,, domestic and what not,,,,too much
“im sorry that i was so dumb”
the choice of ‘dumb’ makes you a bit confused 
“wh-what do you mean?”
he gets up and suddenly you’re aware again that ontop of being ultra cute,,,,jungwoo is pretty tall
and when he steps closer to you, he looks into your eyes and gosh the whole world is up in those pretty browns ,,,
“i just thought you were being nice, i just thought you were happy to be around all of us i didnt know you felt,,,,,that way about me”
the blood in your veins goes cold
“w-who told you?”
“it came out as an accident,,,you really  cant let jaehyun around too much soju,,”
more than anything you’re surprised it wasnt nakamoto yuta - but beside that 
you take in a deep breath
brace yourself. this is the real rejection
but instead of any “sorry i dont feel the same way”’s you get jungwoo’s soft hand against your cheek
you shut your eyes - don’t be too nice about it kim jungwoo, just tell me straight that you -
“i like you too”
there isnt anyway to describe the emotion that comes over you like a wave
it’s a mix of a million different things
it feels cold and hot, makes you want to cry and laugh
but instead all you do is slip down to the floor, a concerned jungwoo following you down
“a-are you ok?”
he presses his hand to your forehead, but you just try to shake your head
“im just,,,really shocked”
“that i like you back?! why?”
there isn’t really an answer for that, when you think about it, you just assumed jungwoo was going to be untouchable forever
“b-because no matter how many times i tried to tell you,,,,,,it felt like i was being pushed away -”
“because im a fool”
you shoot your eyes up to meet his
“no, you’re not! i just - i just never got it right you know, i never got the moment-”
jungwoo lets his hand come up into your hair and suddenly he’s tugging you close
so that you can rest your head against his chest
“when i think about it,,,,,,i probably just told myself not to believe it. not to fall for all your kindness, because i thought that you treated us all like that. me, yuta, jaehyun - i didnt want to think i was special to you”
you bring a hand up to hold the front of jungwoo’s shirt
“but you are special, kim jungwoo ive loved you since first sight”
he chuckles and the rumble in his chest is comforting 
“since first sight? i think,,,,,,i think you charmed me too”
you’re too shy to kiss jungwoo in the moment,,,,maybe it’s because you think you’ve used up your luck
getting to hear the boy of your dreams say he likes you back
but you do let the fluttering feeling carry you on cloud nine for a long time
so much so that when you return to your dorm - even your roommate thinks you’re sick or even worse - going insane 
jungwoo waits outside of your class to take you on your first date
which is to his favorite bookstore in the city
you knew he was studying to work in the library, but you never knew just how much jungwoo liked books
and just how good he looked among them
like he was just browsing for books and the manager offered him a part time job as a model for the store,,,,
to which jungwoo laughed, squeezing your hand a little and saying
“i dont think im quite the best at photo-shoots”
speaking of which,,,,,johnny does submit a photo he took,,,,,and you and jungwoo do win
but that 200 coupon? yuta “lost it”
jungwoo doesnt fret it too much, holds you back from launching yourself at yuta’s bookbag where you’re sure it is
and whispers against your ear that it’s ok,,,,he’ll take you out to eat and it’ll be his treat
and he’ll get yuta back for the both of you
(and he does. sweet, daydreaming jungwoo has a scheming side. and it comes out when he swaps yuta’s shaving cream with sardine scented hand cream)
jungwoo is a very interesting person,,,,aside from being able to just heal others with his warm presence
he’s also quite into the odd 
any date you go on - jungwoo is sure to make it special
coffee runs? he asks you to play a game with him while you wait for your drinks by picking out strangers and giving them weird background stories
study date? jungwoo always gets you some kind of unique kind of stationary,,,,totally the type to just gift you a notebook with snoopy on it and be like “doesnt it look like your boyfriend?”
movie date? jungwoo has you pick a number he’s thinking of and whatever movie is that number on the showlist board is the one you’ll see
(cut to you clinging to jungwoo for dear life when you guys pick a horrible b-list horror movie)
(jungwoo kisses the top of your head, unphased by it afterwords and says if you’re still scared you can sleep over at his dorm and he’ll protect you from the monsters)
(,,,,,,afterall jungwoo is a natural flirt cough cough,,,,,,)
as he is an affectionate person, light touches and soft intimacies are a MUST with him
at first he tests his boundaries with you,,,,but soon enough it’s obvious that jungwoo could just brush his hands over yours
and it’d make you go completely dizzy with happiness
always has his hand on the small of your back 
- it’s just a habit he has
when you’re talking with the group, he’ll put it there 
when you’re sitting and falling asleep over your books, he’ll put it there and apply a little pressure with his thumb to get your attention back up
he also really enjoys running his lips over any part of you that he sees,,,,
the thing is he does this so absentmindedly
that he’ll do it in front of others
and get you in a flustered flurry
because you’ll just be talking to mark about an upcoming test and feel jungwoo’s lips at the base of your neck 
your face turning firetruck red
while mark ducks his head into his hands and runs off, apologizing for “ruining the moment”
jungwoo: ? is he ok
you, head in your hands: u h idk but,,,i,,,im not
he loves when you wear anything that’s slightly too big because it’ll slip off your shoulder or show the back of your neck
and jungwoo is like : must kiss
you decide to try yoga with him since he keeps saying how much it helps him
but turns out jungwoo is very flexible
and you’re ,,, not there yet
so you tumble over yourself and maybe cant do some of the stretches
but jungwoo thinks you look so damn cute trying your hardest for him
totally the type to invite you over to binge watch a series you both like,,,,,but somehow you both end up on youtube watching a series on aliens,,,,
likes outdoors dates - likes just walking places with you, hand in hand
admiring the changing of the seasons, stealing kisses when the light is red and you cant cross the street just yet
but as much as jungwoo is like “let’s go hiking!”
and you’re like ,,,,,,,, “hahaha how about you hike and ill wait at the base of the mountain in the snack shop”
but if he really asks you, with his fluttering soft voice and those eyes that look up through pretty lashes
like you’ll do it
you’ll be sweating and hating it - but for jungwoo you’re pretty sure you’d do anything
and it’s crazy to know that he’d do anything for you too
because people always assume it’s hard to date someone who seems so,,,,,,unattached and like,,,,,in his own world
but the reality is, jungwoo is very observant when it comes to you
he knows what you like, he knows when to keep you safe and how to protect you
and most of all, he knows how to tell what you’re feeling 
you though after all those oblivious attempts to confess to him, it’d be hard to have him read how you’re doing
but if one thing is wrong - jungwoo senses it
and does his best to cheer you up
totally the boyfriend who takes your phone and changes his name to something cute and childish 
bought you guys matching snoopy keychains
tried to act aloof about it - but you know he really likes it when you clip it onto your bag
jungwoo,,,,,,admits that he might not be the best romantic - even though this is a lie - everything about him screams romantic
especially when he has you come over 
and instead of studying or quizzing him like you both planned
he traces his fingertips up and down your arm, lays down side by side with you and mumbles that he thinks every part of you is perfect
and if you’d let him
he’d like to get to know more of you
and how are you supposed to say no to mr. long fingers, sexy voice, and overall fit body jungwoo?!?!?
like im not kidding, the moment he touches you - it’s like you’re in paradise
because he handles you with care and most importantly, with adoration 
but there are some marks in the morning and yuta jumps on them like hot fire
to which jungwoo just does the ^_^ and is like dont make me leak some of those photos i have nakamoto ^_^
one day, as you’re watching jungwoo play a friendly match of soccer
taeil sits beside you
“can i say something”
he asks and you nod
“i know we all said you were being totally obvious with your feelings about jungwoo,,,,,,but nowadays i think he’s the one who has heart eyes for you”
jungwoo tells you a bit about his minor and you’re like ,,,, bugs ,,,, really
and he’s like it’s not that weird - they’re pretty interesting
and you’re a little iffy about it
but one of your dates is to a butterfly observatory 
in which you watch as jungwoo let’s a butterfly settle on his finger
and you think that even insects can sense the inherit sweetness of jungwoo’s character
you’re a little scared when one lands on your nose, but jungwoo takes a photo
and to this day it’s his home screen on his phone
you tell jungwoo about how you tried to give him chocolates once but they melted all over you
and he feels so bad he buys you one of those gigantic bars with a two pound bag of chocolates
and you’re like jungwoo!!!! it’s fine!!!
and he’s like im sorry for being oblivious and horrible 
and i promise im going to keep my eyes on you forever from now on!!!
yuta: corny
jaehyun: you’re just jealous because they got together and you’re still single
you and jungwoo looking at yuta like o?
yuta: HA AS IF,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,jaehyungofindmeadaterightnow
you and jungwoo win cutest couple that semester, and the semester after that
because let’s be real - being with him, taking photos of you two nose to nose - eyes full of love that you can only experience at that age - how could you not win 
kim jungwoo? not only the cutest, but the bestest boyfriend around!!

A trip back to my religious roots
Sorry for the lateness of this post. Very unlike me, I like to be on time. Ive had time to write but I kept forgetting or being too tired to regale y'all with my tales from yonder part of the world. So Poland is the destination of the day. We left three days ago now as we're in Budapest in Hungary and heading to Serbia this evening on another tastey night bus, yay. The two stops of our Poland trip were Wroclaw and Krakow. Both beautiful cities. Both very cheap. Ideal eh? Wraclaw was the slightly smaller and less touristy of the two. A good place to start the trip. We got there early afternoon, the weather was pretty bleak and the city (from the bus ride in looked... Ok I suppose... Read "ok" as pretty butterz really). We got off and walked for the hostel. Still little to be enthused about. Having checked in and finished off the pasta it was time for the inner tour guide inside me to come to fruition. I was in my element. A map in hand, lots of information and history and a keen student, perfect. First stop, the synagog. A nice building with some poignant displays about the Jewish descrimination throughout Poland. A heavy start to the tour. We ploughed on however, to the real meat of the tour. The town centre. A cacophony of colours, buildings, history and gnomes. Yeah there's 400 stone gnomes dotted around the city, lol. The buildings were beautiful, all different colours, all different styles, all mad cool. Even the McDonalds, the money changers and the pharmacies were in ginormous gorgeous buildings. A chocolate box town you could say. The map we were given outlined an old town walk we could so with each stop having a handy section explaining the relevance of the separate places. It was sick. And informative. My inner history teacher was loving it. After more wanderings and more architecture and A LOT of churches the tour neared its conclusion. Wed even seen an ossoleum I believe it was called (still dont really know what it was, but nevertheless the architecture was outstanding). The final stop was a wee market selling an odd variety of items. Flowers, ok. Sweets, ok. Pastries, ok. Urns. Sorry? Yes urns. Like four stalls selling urns. Hmmmm. Bit morbid. Anyhow the next day we got some proper polish food there (not in an urn) dirt cheap. That reminds me. Poland is very cheap. Shock. I think i have known this for years since I knew what Poland was. Everyone has told me how cheap it is. All of my knowledge told me how cheap it is, yet still. I was shocked evrrytime I realised just how cheap stuff was. A six pack of beer 40c. Like what?!?! Its cheaper, by a lot, to buy beer than water. Fine, you've convinced me I'll drink a beer. Big doughnuts 70c. Hostel super cheap. Bus super cheap. Food super cheap. Basically Poland was extremely good for the Wallet, better than Budapest for sure. Hopefully Serbia goes back to nice cheap prices again. Pray for cheapness. Our other day of fun in wraclaw was spent exploring the cathedral island just north of the old town. Disclaimer its not actually an island. As per the name though there was lots of churches. Yay more churches. All amazing, all massive and beautiful, all churches. Its mad how a country can be so poor throughout it's history and still put so muchomey into something so unnecessary and wrong (in my opinion) as churches. How many can you possibly need in one town, in one little bit of town. I dunno. Whatever, anyway it made a good looking day of sightseeing for us. Like I said, lots of big and lush buildings. On to Krakow. A more popular touristy city. Still similar however to wraclaw. Colourful buildings. Lots of churches. And a castle oo, very cool. It was the site that we witnessed england losing to Belgium for the second time. Great. The site of a momentous moment in table football history. Let me set the scene. Pult sees the table and exclaims her prowess at the game in no uncertain sense of confidence. Matthews's ears prick. Table football. He is even worse at containing his confidence. "I am so sick at that" is the exact response. This takes pukt by surprise. She looks anxious, has she bitten off more than she can chew..? We will see. They wait patiently by the table waiting for two amateurs to finish. A feeble warm up. Akin to having Selena Gomez being the warm up act for rolling stones. Incomparable and decidedly underwhelming when you imagine the quality of the next act, match. They finished. Tension was high. Few words were exchanged and we approached the battleground. Eyes were made and the match begun. An immense affair. Long rallies, goal line saves, pressurised defence and some silky, penetrative attacks. It was amazing. Nothing like this table had ever witnessed previously. This best of three match up was to be an epic. Matthews edged the first one in a ridiculously tight first round. But regardless of the closeness Matthews took this one 9-0. Next. It was the same affair again. So close, such good rallies but you could see in pults Eyes, her body language and her words. She was raging. Her game became more rash and Matthews's defence. It remained impenetrable. Another close fought match. Another 9-0 win. The final match. The decider. A huge moment. There was a crowd of three watching the tensest of all matchups. Matthews had given pult some pointers (always keep the left hand on the goalie). It worked. 1-0 Matthews. 1-1. 2-1 matthews. 2-2. 3-2 matthews. 3-3. What a game. So close. End to end. Pults defence was much improved. As was her clinicality in front of goal. But then. Matthews turns up. 9-3 final score. A whitewash of gargantuan proportions. Something that will not be easily forgotten by any involved. I'd like to thank my father for all his help in my practicing. Cheers dad. It certainly came home. Pult didn't slesk speak to matthews for 20 minutes, it seemed their trip was destined for an early finish. But they rallied and ate a lovely baguette thing. Anyway back to ramblings about Krakow. Next up was a wander thru the Jewish quarter. An edgy, hipster, cool area. Lots of bars, shops and ice cream stalls. A nice wander I'd say with more buff buildings and cool artwork. To finish our time off in Krakow we heading to Schindler's factory. It was very full and busy. Shock. It was nice and very informative but not very well designed. Too much information and not enough relevance slash it wasn't laid out in an easily consumable mannor. We enjoyed it but it didn't live up to the hype sadly and didn't tell us kich about Schindler specifically. More about the Jewish problem in Poland as a whole. Neverthe less still interesting. So you'll be hearing from me soon maybe tonight if I get my game right and I'm not too lazy. Until then. Goodbye. G.

Have you ever been talking to someone, getting to know them, and really enjoying it? And WANTING to get to know them? Even if theyre telling you a boring part of their life its just interestong to listen to them speak about it? Sometimes its cool to listen to people sort of ramble whatevers on their mind to fill empty sound space, and thats when you can hear some pretty odd stuff Ok person. Not people. Person Is this what falling in love feels like? Ill rad that wave if thats where im gonna go Anyway! Im thinking pretty heavily about how i love getting to know this person and all i keep coming back to is trying to remember if i felt this way getting to know things about her. To be fair i dont have many memories of life that didnt at least have her in the backgrpund somewhere… unavoidable really
She wont be forgotten from me and right now that feels.. well kinda shitty. But hopefully soon ill feel what i know which is she was something good in my life for a long time. No matter how weve left things she was something good.
I guess since i knew her so long i felt like i already knew her..and the only new thing i knew i liked was she was very aggresive and im not.
I really do wish i had been more aggressive with her emotionally and maybe we would have broken up sooner and laughed about it by now. I wish i had bugged her more about getting help. She has the access. its insulting to those millions of people who need it and WANT it and she was denying it. Thats so god damn disrespectful. I should have told her. Hey. You have access to free help. Open up to it, it will help you. You can get better but you cant do it without some tough work. But you can do it ill be here for you. All i can really do is be a shoulder when you need it and get you out of the house doing things. I should have but i didnt. And no combination of words could make her feel ok about me not doing that unless shes had some sort of self awakening at the school she went to so who fuckin knows. I wonder if she realized being around her depression and her refusal to get help for it
Help she had easily all she had to do was tell her parents hey. This is a real thing i struggle with. If anything i need to talk to a third party about the ways im feeling. We have access to this service through insurance. What do you think. She never gave her parents a chance. She assumed they wouldnt budge on it and didnt even bother saying anything.
I wonder if she realized putting me in that position surrounded by depression as i basically have been my whole life and getting mad as i try to stay positive and push that away. I understand it feels shitty to be pushed away but when youve been told ‘hey i know weve talked about marriage and our future and a life, but i changed my mind we’re breaking up ✌….. jk lets get back together/ lets keep 'fucking’’
if you can call me getting her off somehow and then her making up some excuse on why im being left out. Ha A fucking year of no reciprocation But that 2 night stand with julia. No sex but its literally the hotest night ive had. From someone i hardly knew. Huh
So much came out tonight Ill read this tomorrow and feel weird Gotta sleep
