When I went to university, there was a guy a year or so above me who was famous across the whole department because he was super nice, super gorgeous, and went jogging regularly while shirtless and wearing very tiny very short bright red shorts. And so everyone called him Beautiful Dave. Genuinely! Not an insult in the slightest. He was Beautiful and people needed to know!
And listen. LISTEN. That's Steve.
Hot college student who loves to get up early and go jogging shirtless and in his old basketball shorts.
Him, Robin, and Eddie all move up to Chicago together. Robin studies languages, Steve studies to be a paramedic or a physical therapist or something, Eddie fucks around and gets a job bc he has had enough of academia. They all get a shitty apartment near their college campus together and Steve finds he likes academia a lot more when it's something he cares about. He joins the swim team, he makes friends, and he finds out one day that people have started referring to him as Beautiful Steve.
He worries at first that it's another King Steve thing, but it's not!  People genuinely think he's absolutely beautiful and super nice and friendly. And so he kind of... goes along with it. He'll go jogging in his short shorts and people will greet him as Beautiful Steve and he responds with a smile and a wave.
Robin and Eddie find out while on campus one day when a group of people call him Beautiful Steve and he responds. Steve tells them that people started calling him that and It's the best day of their lives. Because that's their Steve! Their Steve is Beautiful Steve!! And they're nice about it because I want fluff and silly happiness and people are too mean to Steve
MOMO I CANT COPE. YOU ARE TRULY WIRED DIRECTLY TO THE SOURCE
Robin and Eddie FULL SCALE endorsing beautiful Steve!!! They get so into it they get the student to eventually treat him like a cryptid in that there’s sticks and badges of ‘I believe in beautiful Steve’ and it’s over a pair of illustrated red shorts. It’s a fun way of making some side income for them all and Steve gets a kick out of it.
Campus legend Beautiful Steve but it never becomes a creepy or uncomfortable thing. Everyone just enjoying what has organically grown from it all. He ends up as a ‘wheres Wally’ situation on the campus brochure. Never centre stage, always in the background and happily so.
He goes out on placement for his course and get a warm welcome on his return. Getting nods and waves and feeling like he has a Place here in his own way. Eddie and Robin observing it all and delighting at the smile it brings to Steve’s face every time. He may be Beautiful Steve to the uni but he’s Their Steve first and he won’t let them forget that

✎ Hinata With a s/o Who’s Personality is the Opposite of Hers
A/N: this was a request from  a very sweet anon and I worked on it for such along time, but Tumblr did not save the post so I had to retype it.. but its okay, I am fine and here is the second attempt: 
Request: Hi! I hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you could make some relationship hcs for hinata with a s/o who's the opposite of her? My baby deserves everything and I don't see much of her and am sad bc I love her 😢 Thank you you talented person who warms my heart💿💗💿
Warning I did not proofread this <3 I am too ducking lazy bye
Tumblr media
Gosh okay Hinata needs a s/o that’s loud and slightly obnoxious lol, like she needs that type of person to push her out of her shell. She may be shy at your advances at first, but let’s be real she actually really loves them.
99.9% of the relationship is Hinata stuttering your name. “Y-y/n!!”
She likes when you make a big stink of any small gesture she does for you. It makes her feel super confident and even if she’s walking away blushing just know that she’s going to be thinking of that moment for a good month afterwards. Like she brings you food one day after you’re training with Naruto and you’re so happy that you mow it down in like 2 seconds. Then you smother her in hugs, kisses and praise and she just turns beet red. “Y-y/n!”
Your compliments help push her out of her shell even more and she cherishes every single one. Even if your compliments are kinda shitty, it’s the thought that counts. “Wow Hinata, youre eyes look like marbles, they’re so cute.” And Hinatas blushing so fucking hard and Shino and Kiba just scratch their head like?? “Uh why did you blush at that weak ass compliment?”
You’re basically her cheerleader. Make sure to give her pep talks. Like if she’s feeling down about herself for whatever reason, you always go up to her and give her the best inspirational talk you can, throwing in all the cheesy shit you know and she’s always grateful. You’re probably half screaming the pep talk because you’re just so riled up to make your girlfriend feel energized and the effort alone is comforting. “Don’t worry about what anyone else says, I believe in you Hinata! I know you can do this.”
Whenever you two are on missions together she always makes the effort to try and show her powers off to you. She sees how protective you are of her in the village and she wants to show you that she can take care of you too. That just gives her the extra drive she needs to kick the enemies ass <3 She loves when you stare at her wide eyed and shocked after she whoops their ass. Like leaving you speechless is such an accomplishment because you hardly ever shut up. “Holy shit, Hinata!!! You’re the coolest girlfriend ever, you totally kicked their asses!”
Brag about her!!! Please just flex about your girlfriend. She does the same for you but she gets super shy afterwards. Like when she talks to Shino, Kiba and Kurenai about you she always does the little finger thing with her hands and turns beet red. Kiba loves to tease her about it when you all hang out, “Yeah, Hinata always talks about you with us. She’s always rambling about how—“ then Hinata proceeds to clamp a hand over his mouth with her eyes bulging out of her head. “K-Kiba!!”
You’re a tease so you like to get her flustered. So sometimes you join in on Kibas teasing, afterall it’s just fun and games. It’s not like Kiba wants to hurt your feelings. However, if it’s anyone else in the village they will not get the same treatment. Oh someone wants to shove Hinata as they walk past her in the village? Want to say she’s not strong? You will openly challenge them to a battle. “Hey you jerk! You wanna disrespect my girlfriend again? I’ll kick your ass right now!” And she’ll hold you back, “Y/n! It’s okay! Really you don’t need to do this.”
Honestly as you two get closer in the relationship, she starts to develop some of your mannerisms and little by little she bursts into “y/n fits.” That’s what kiba calls them. It’s basically where she does something bold and totally un-Hinata like. Like someone’s talking crap about you in the village and she goes from little shy girl to “who do you think you are talking about y/n like that?!” Kiba tells you about the fits later and you just sit back with a grin, “that’s my girl.”
She also doesn’t mind PDA — to an extent. You’re an affectionate person so you can’t help the PDA sometimes, but you know when you’re overstepping. There’s 3 levels of Shy Hinata. First level is with light PDA, like gentle little touches that you don’t even notice you’re giving her. Light brushes over her arm as you walk, or your fingers thrumming against her thigh as you two sit down at a restaurant. There’s a little brush of pink across her cheeks and you normally don’t notice it unless someone *cough cough* ( Kiba ) points it out.
The second level is with intentional touches, like hand holding, wrapping an arm around her etc. Her face turns bright red and you have to ask if it’s okay, she nods eagerly, she actually likes it a lot. It just takes her a while to adjust to it.
The third level is emergency level. Like this is just borderline she is going to evaporate. It varies from touches you didn’t mean to be so intimate, to jokingly slapping her ass when you pick her up from training. She just immediately turns red and starts stuttering and you can almost see her head overheating.
It’s kind of funny lol and you have to apologize afterwards because she’s literally over heating for five minutes afterwards. As the relationship goes on she will end up getting you back at least once, even if she’s blushing the whole time. It’s worth it though because you’re blushing just as hard at her sudden boldness.
Also loves nicknames, even the tacky ones you give her. Call her a whole list of nicknames and she adores every single one of them. For real, like you can call her: princess, peaches, love, cutie pie, sweetie, etc and they will all make her smile.
Saves like every card you give her. They’re the most extravagant yet horrendous things that ever came into creation, but she loves them all and ignores Neji’s blatant dislike for them. Like sure, they’re decked out in glitter and they look like a five year old made them, but you tried your best and the thought that you spent your time on her in such a sentimental way always makes her gush. Keeps them all in a shoe box under her bed with all the other trinkets she collects from dates and hang outs with you. She definitely wears the gifts you give her too, even if they are a little too crazy for her, she likes how humbled you get when you see her wearing them.
Also she’s 100% a pillow princess and you will not and cannot change my mind <3

Cats 2019 😌
Oh, thank you, I’m gonna gush about this movie without even a DROP of that “i knoooow it’s bad” stuff, y’all know that I know. Okay maybe a few drops sneak in, in a back handed way, but MOSTLY this is me gushing and fawning
For context, since i’m putting this in the tag, the prompt was this was somebody gives me a topic and I respond with what i like about it. Like, the opposite of that “send me a thing and i’ll tell you what i hate about it” one
sometimes, like half the time, the CGI actually slaps. like, the close ups are amazing. proper look at some of these cats and it’s like, wow
mr. mistoffelees is precious. he’s my favourite and he’s adorable and his song makes me cry! specifically the bit where old deut is back and it cuts to his happy “oh my gosh i did it” face. triumphant! heck, i just like that whole song, as like the character thing that it is. and yeah anyways, misto is a cutie pie, he’s so shy and awkward and nervous, i wuv him uwuwu
misto is my fave but munkustrap is actually the best character in this movie. i cannot gush enough about robbie fairchild’s acting, singing and dancing in this. he is the backbone of this movie and i adore him! there’s a reason i’ve reblogged a bagillion gifsets of him being so expressionate, he’s so good! you can tell robbie loves being a part of this. and like, very often munku will absolutely be the best aspect of a scene
plus he’s beautiful too. munku, misto, victoria. beautiful kitties
now that i’ve adjusted to the art style, i find these kitties adorable. i love the ears and tails, they make me happy. i like how misto’s tail curls and the movement of everybody’s ears
i really like the music, shoulda mentioned that first. like, when its good, its really good. memory is of course a powerhouse. skimbleshanks is the movie’s highlight, so fucking good. i like mr. misto’s song, fight me. jellicle cats is a fucking bop. rumpleteazer & mungojerrie, I Just Like It. robbie’s performance in... well the whole movie... but also in old deuteronomy is beautiful and soothing. i’ve actually gotten every song in this stuck in my head.... SKIIIIIMBLEEEESHAAAANKS THE RAAAAILWAAAY CAT
legit, making that number include tap dancing was an actual stroke of genius and i cannot praise steven mcrae enough. whomst is also australian, im so proud. i also like skimble’s pants
OH ALSO regarding the music, another thing i love about this movie is that it introduced me to the concept of this musical. i never had any exposure to cats the musical before this movie happened. all i knew before was a couple of references i saw and i had heard memory. but i didn’t know that memory was from cats. and like, think of all the great songs i wouldn’t be aware of if this movie never happened. i’ve also, by extension, become enamoured with the 1998 version of cats too. because of this! i wouldn’t have had a reason to care before! i had no interest! so besides the fact that i actually do like this movie, there’s that
this is true of the stage musical thing, but a lot of cute and fun character moments are gleaned from like background stuff and facial expressions, that sorta thing and i find it really fun to notice stuff (or see somebody else point stuff out). like it’s all very simple but still with some depth, ya know?
the dancing in this is so good. so so good. especially munku because his actor is a magnificent dancer. it’s also funny and cute how misto clearly isn’t as good a dancer as everybody else, so they have him doing clumsy doofy stuff in the background. but im not insulting laurie davidson’s dancing, he’s actually good considering he had to learn for this movie. i just have to praise the dancing in this movie because i’ve seen people say that “the dancing isn’t impressive in this movie because it’s CGI” and i WILL EAT YOU WHOLE. no n no no people HAVE to know that the actors are actually doing that. robbie and francesca are professional ballet dancers, most of the people in this are. the movements are real, they just painstakingly overlayed CGI cat stuff over it. the stuff that isn’t real is like, stuff humans can’t do, like the big fuck off leaps, they used wires for that
Rumpleteazer’s Lesbian Energy Is Palpable
Munkustrap’s Chemistry With Everybody Is Stunning
victoria, misto and munku are OT3 and they’re bicons in my heart
oh i already mentioned the music but i just wanna say i think beautiful ghosts is a lovely song/motif/character thing. i haven’t mentioned victoria much, i think she’s rather sweet in a like endearingly dumb way. and her singing and dancing is, of course, lovely
the sets are practical, they built that! bruh
i have to give my respect to the poor overworked effects artists who worked on this movie. they were pushed so hard and for so long and i think they did a great job and they don’t deserve even a drop of the scorn they have received
i love misto’s jacket, it’s so good. and the pencil as a wand is clever!
the last scene is refered to as a living hell by a lot of people but i love it because just. watch munku’s face the whole time. so good. just watch munkustrap, he makes everything better
ooh on that note, i like how they made it so munk lives in a flat thats literally right by the junkyard. i find that a nice touch and fitting
i like the nuzzles <3 (furthermore i love how misto is so much taller than victoria so he has to bend down so far for a couple of those nuzzles)
i dunno, you can tell most of the people doing this were like really into it, like really loved doing this movie. like these performances are good, y’all! and like, these cats come across as so happy to hanging out and dancing and being together (for the most part, there is bickering and... cattiness too) that it’s like infectious. it makes me smile!
and there’s like a bagillion little things here and there that i like, like my list could go on even more. for example, shout out to that one cat that kept smiling when skimble was spinning upwards into the air (due to being kidnapped) probably under the assumption that skimble can just fucking do that djksakjdsa
so yeah i can’t exactly call this a Good Movie but i can genuinely call it a movie i enjoy, that i adore even, because i’ve never liked anything ironically in my life! also im autistic and this has become my special interest, so choo choo, this trains a chugging. i’m having a lot of fun, and i think that’s good enough
and i feel like it’s already on it’s way to becoming the world’s most expensive cult classic. like, friends getting together and watching it and having a good time, for one reason or another. and i like that. i hope in like 5 to 10 years time, people are gonna be endeared and nostalgic for cats 2019, cuz that’d be neat

Hey All, 
So yeah I’ve been neglecting this blog big time since the season finale and I want to give an explanation. Which is more for my own benefit than anyone elses actually since sometimes writing things down can really help even if you don’t think anyone is gonna read it...
I’ve been running this blog for two and a half years now. Before this blog, I had never involved myself in online fandom or even internet communities in general. I just didn’t do that kind of thing because I didn’t even know about it. I have thoroughly enjoyed the majority of the time spent here. I have enjoyed building online friendships and getting to know this community - a community I have always seen as being honest and friendly and full of bloggers I respect and would hope also respect me. 
Because I am relatively new to online fandom, I guess I have also been extremely naive. When I first started this blog I didn’t do it because I wanted to validate my own opinion of this show, I didn’t do it because I wanted to be a big blogger with lots of followers and posts that gained a lot of notes either. None of that stuff has ever really bothered me too much, I’m not looking for fandom fame here, never have. At first I wasn’t really even seeking out friendships to bleed over into my real life - I was depressed and a bit of a hermit at the time so any idea of making friends outside of the online space just wasn’t on the agenda. My whole reason for joining fandom was because I had previously spent around a year lurking on certain meta writers blogs reading their stuff and thinking “wow” and “I want to interact with these people because this is all awesome”. I wanted to share my opinion and bounce ideas off of those bloggers who I respected and thought were funny and intelligent and kind people. I wanted to get to know them and discuss the show with them.
That was all I ever wanted. End of story. No fame, no massive following myself. No viral posts. Just communication with people I respected.
I got that. For a long time. I still have in a lot of ways. Along the line, I also somehow found myself meeting up with some of these people in real life, and getting closer to them, to the point that now some of them are people I consider my best friends. Others I may have only met for the first time recently, whose blogs I have followed since the beginning, and who I hope I will continue to meet and remain friends with for the foreseeable future - because they are awesome too.
I don’t regret those friendships for one second. But what I do regret is the mess caused by getting close to people who you also interact with in fandom. Because with fandom comes the wank, and when that wank then bleeds into your real life, it really fucks you up. 
So this is where I have been, not just for the past few weeks since I have been MIA, but in fact for around 3 months now. Mentally and emotionally exhausted because of drama that started in fandom that bled over into my real life, and has caused me more emotional upset and heartache than falling out with a former “best friend” a few years back ever did. It is actually shocking how much this former fandom drama has effected me, so much so, that even the people closest to me, who are aware of all the details, probably still don’t know just how much this has fucked with my head and caused me to regress into a shell. It’s really fucking bad and has been effecting my life in more ways than one. 
I don’t think people realise how much all this shit affects us. It was easier when I could separate it. Fandom in one box, real life in a different box. Use each one to escape the other. For the past 3 months there has been no fucking escape for me.
Why am I telling you all this? I guess because I feel like it could help others who are overwhelmed by fandom, by being in a community where it is possible for anyone to suddenly find themselves with a huge following and influence others. It's so fucking easy for that kind of thing to go to people's heads, and there are people in this community who will abuse that and use their status and power to abuse people and generally be shitty human beings because no matter what they do there will be others who will support them and think the sun shines out their ass.
Anyway. I'm not here to talk specifics. I did consider it, but I won't. Though some people in this fandom have really hurt me, I know they will never truly apologise for their actions, or even admit to being responsible. They don’t give a shit about me and in some cases barely know who I am. Doesn’t mean they didn’t hurt me and fuck up my life for a period of time. Others have sat at the side lines and watched as I slowly lost myself to all this shit and instead of being a friend and give me the support I desperately needed, have been complicit in the wank, and let themselves be influenced by the very assholes who started this crap.
Regardless, I wanted this post to be a lesson to those newer to fandom, perhaps there are people out there who have been in a position where they have been hurt by supposed "big name fans" and also get sick in their stomachs when people continue to sing their praises, and can't avoid those people no matter what they do since Tumblr doesn't give us the ability to truly avoid other bloggers even with block and blacklist available. That is my situation now. I cannot continue enjoying this community whilst I am constantly having to be reminded of what I have gone through over the past few months, and because of that, before I come back properly, I need to drastically curate my dash, utilise the unfollow, block and blacklist options, and I suppose carve myself out a new space. A fresh start perhaps. I am still so terribly disappointing in everything. I used to adore our corner of fandom, but it has become so fucking toxic if I don’t try to shelter myself from it I’ll never heal, and I don’t yet want to leave completely.
Nevertheless, I shall persist, because believe it or not, this show we all love still brings me joy, and I want to talk about it again, to my hearts content, with people I care about in this space. But I will be extra careful in future about those who try to connect with me. I have learned my lessons, and I am done. Shitty behaviour online won’t be taken lightly, and I won’t have any hesitation calling people out for it in future.
So here are some lessons I have learned and try to remind myself of every day when dealing with fandom:
If you have been hurt by something, no matter how small, your emotions are valid and you deserve a sincere apology.
People who are truly your friends will stand by you. Those who don't stand by you are not worth your time.
Emotional manipulation is cruel. Don't let people do it. Don't let anyone invalidate your pain by making a situation about them.
Especially when you are then forced into impossible choices.
Especially when your feelings are ignored and you are put in situations that make you extremely uncomfortable.
Just because someone has a big following and comes across sweet and nice online doesn't mean they are. We all have online personas. A lot of people are fake. Take them off their pedestals before you watch them fall off.
Don't believe nasty rumours about people, but understand that blindly singing people's praises is just as bad. No one is fucking perfect no matter how much people may try to portray perfection.
Learn the difference between someone who genuinely wants your friendship and people who want to use you for online validation and popularity. This is important.
Even the smartest people can be emotionally manipulated. it’s not a flaw. It’s a product of someone elses cruelty. It’s not an insult for someone to try to tell you this either. It just means they care about you. 
If you are ever made to feel like your feeling don’t matter, or that you should get over your feelings, get those who tell you that out of your life.  Your feelings matter. You matter. You matter a hell of a lot more than the people who would try to deny you.
Social Justice issues are important, but social justice cannot be an excuse for nasty behaviour. Be wary of those that use social justice as a front for treating people badly. 
Be fucking kind to each other. Treat people with respect, and you will have their respect in return.
Lastly, I want to say that I know I’m not perfect. I can sometimes be pretty fucking horrible, especially when I’m feeling hurt and emotionally vulnerable. I have written the above lessons for me and that last point? To be kind to each other? I need to remind myself of that. To be kind to people I don’t agree with, even if those people attack me. Even if those people have caused me severe emotional stress. Sometimes I fail at being kind. Sometimes I am gonna hurt people including myself. I am sorry for that. I truly am. I do try to recognise my own flaws here and try to be sincere in my message.  I have been so stressed and I just can’t deal anymore. I’m not a bad person, but I know that some of you will read this post and seriously disapprove of it. Perhaps you feel it wasn’t necessary for me to post such a public message. Or that I am just trying to cause unnecessary drama (I’m really not). Or that I want attention (I don’t). I expect people to unfollow me because of this, and I’m okay with that. You do what you have to do. 
From my perspective I HAD to get it all down. I had to pour it all out of me like drawing poison from a wound. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. It’s been eating me alive. It was the only way I could bring myself to get back onto here because this place used to be my passion. I want my passion back.
What I don’t want is anyone asking me to tell them specifics. I want to put everything behind me and start afresh now. I need to rid myself of that negativity and just focus on the good stuff, on the stuff I came here for to begin with. I’ve got a lot going on in my real life separate to fandom drama and I want this to be my escape from that once again, I need this to be a happy place once more and will do whatever necessary to find that happy place.
I’m sorry guys, I know this was super long and prob super confusing for some people to read. I guess just know that I’m gonna try to be back and much more positive and happy than I was before now that this shit is behind me. I’m gonna keep this blog a happy place, ignore and block any sources of wank and negativity, and only post fun stuff about the show going forward. (Aside from the standard show related wank that may crop up here every now and again thanks to Bucklemming) If you are still with me after this long emotional essay, I hope you’ll still be with me going forward, and god knows I could use some actual real friends right now. 
Thanks for reading.
:)

Pretty cliche but I thought of sharing it with you guys something longer since I’ve only written several drabbles so far! Hope you guys like it! ( ˘ ³˘)♥
As the sun rises, rays of sunlight pierced through the curtains, slightly lighting up the room in a golden yellow shade which gives out a sort of romantic feel. Groaning in your sleep, you shuffled around on the bed and tried to touch the area next to you, feeling no warmth much to your disappointment. You lazily opened one of your eyes in a frown to peek at the space beside you. Empty. You tried looking around the room. No sight of your sweetheart. You even tried to sit up sleepily and perked your ears to listen to any sound of him around in the apartment but the only thing you hear is the sigh that left your lips. You’re too lazy to wake up still, so you snaked your hand to your phone on the bedside table to check whether if he left you a message. As if on cue, your phone vibrates and lights up, signaling a message notification, from the love of your life. You grinned at his timing and giggled as you read the message.
Good morning my big baby ;) I went out with Lay to have some morning tea! Will be back so soon before you even start missing me!! ^^ Love, your Hyunnie.
You can't help but to smile even wider at the message. Even with small gestures like these, he is able to make your heart flutter. The amount of things that Baekhyun can do to you, like really. You look at the time on your phone before putting it down onto the bedside table again. It’s only 9:30 in the morning. The birds are chirping outside and you briefly wished that you were as cheerful and motivated in the morning. You feel like a piece of steel and the bed is a really, really strong magnet. You’re not tired, just lazy because the bed just felt so comfortable, the chirping birds outside like an ASMR, the refreshing morning breeze setting your room in the right temperature to go back to sleep. The only thing that can make your morning even more amazing and perfect is the supposedly warmth beside you, provided by your Baekhyun who and which you got so used to. The space beside you felt so empty currently. You miss him already. He probably decide not to wake you up this morning because of how late you stayed up last night to finish your work. Usually when you wake up from your slumber, especially on weekends, you will be met with a pair of brown, warm eyes which will turn into little crescents upon your sleepy gaze courtesy to the huge boyish grin on Baekhyun’s face. Determined to start the day (and stop being a lazy ass), you got up and walked to the toilet to start your day. After brushing your teeth, washing your face and even taking a shower, you dried your hair and tied them into a messy bun. 
You put on one of Baekhyun’s Supreme hoodie, embracing his scent. It is so oversized for you to the point that it stretches down to just above your knee. You looked into the mirror with a satisfied face, turning around after successfully donning the hoodie on. Wearing his clothes is definitely one of your favourite habit(?) or whatever you call it. Not like your boyfriend minded anyway. In fact, he personally thinks that you looked better (he called you hot while biting his lips so) in his clothes than him. Cheesy bastard. Deciding to make a light scrumptious breakfast of ham and cheese omelette for the both of you, you padded slowly into the kitchen to prepare the ingredients. You’re about to start cutting the ham when you heard the door beep.
“Honey, I’m home!!” hollered Baekhyun from the entrance shamelessly. God, you sure hope your neighbors aren’t planning on murdering your loud and obnoxious man. But then again they seem pretty in love with your man either, if the heart eyes from the aunties aren’t telling enough. Sometimes, they even bring him extra side dishes. Who can you blame though? Baekhyun is naturally a sweet talker, endearing, attractive and his whole being basically just screams ‘LOVE ME!!!’ to be honest at the very least. “Me too, ho- Ooof!” Yixing hollered after Baekhyun without missing a beat. Or at least, tried to. He almost succeeded though, until your man elbowed him in the ribs, sending him one of the nastiest glares ever that says something along the lines of “I dare you to ‘honey’ her.” Yixing grimaced in pain, groaning while rubbing the sore spot and muttered ‘possessive bastard’ under his breath. He looked like a kicked puppy in pain especially with the pout evident on his face. Hearing how chaotic the scene is at the entrance, do you really want to know what happened? You asked yourself and nope, never mind. You’re too occupied with preparing the ingredients so you just rolled your eyes and shook your head a little, mumbling a half-hearted ‘welcome back, baby’ to acknowledge them. You know you won’t be left alone anyway.
You’re right when Baekhyun wrapped his arms around you firmly from behind, back hugging you amidst of cutting the ingredients. He dipped his nose into the crook of your neck, inhaling your sweet scent before sending butterfly kisses all over your neck and finally placing a loving big, loud smooch on your cheek. It’s ticklish, so you tilted you head a little, giggling. “Baek, you’re distracting me.” you whined, trying to pull an annoyed face even if you’re having a hard time with all the little kisses he constantly places here and there. “And you smell so nice.” Baekhyun grinned, lips still not leaving your skin. “Anyway, was that Yixing earlier?” you ignored his remark, trying to change the topic. “Awwww, isn’t my baby so smart? Yeah, he’s just here to lend the toilet by the way.” he praised you, sending you even more kisses, not even bothering to explain more. Seriously though, aren’t his lips tired? Especially from all the talking and kissing? Not that you’re complaining, really, just genuine curiosity.   
“Ewwww!!! My eyes!!! Shit, I need a new pair!!!” Yixing shrieked all of a sudden, hand flying to cover his eyes, having witnessed the Baekhyun’s PDA towards you after he’s done using the toilet. Baekhyun closed his eyes in aggravation. Of all timings, that guy had to cockblock now. He secretly contemplated whether punching him in the face or kicking him in the ass would be better. Before he get to reach a final decision, Yixing spoke up first (thank god). 
“Okay, okay, chill bro, I am leaving now alright! Sheesh! Greasy hot tempered ass.” he said, backing away, both arms raised in defeat, the last sentence said in a significantly lower volume to avoid immediate assault from the your (aggressive) man. “See ya! And you too, sweetie” he waved to his friend and you before getting pushed out of the apartment by your boyfriend. Said man just slammed the door in his face after muttering a rushed bye before heading into the kitchen to where you are again. Yixing snickers behind the door, deeming a success in annoying Byun Baekhyun. You can almost imagine him pumping his fist in the air. You’re pretty sure Yixing’s feelings are not hurt in any way though. They’re really great friends who goes years back so if anyone were to understand Baekhyun as much as you, it would be the guys, Yixing included. They know how protective (and clingy) he is over you and they never, I repeat, never, miss any opportunity they can get to annoy him. He kind of deserve it though considering how annoying he is himself anyway. You’ll be the first candidate to live to tell the tales. At least he’s adorable. In meantime, you’re not sure whether your boyfriend is a human or a leech, octopus even, seeing as he is wrapping his arms around your waist as soon as he is close enough. 
“That wasn’t very nice, Baek” you chastised before turning your head and kissed his cheek as he hummed in response. 
“You can’t deny he didn’t deserve it.” he said, shrugging with a smile so innocent you temporarily forgot about what you were actually reprimanding him for. How dare he use this against you when he know full well how effective is it? Wait, no, he obviously used this because he knows how effective it is. Cunning as hell. He returned your kiss at the side of your lips, making you grin, the both of you staying in the back hugging position while you’re still trying to focus on cutting your ham. Of course, your ever attention demanding boyfriend couldn’t just stand still or quietly. Wanting him to do both is close to impossible. Quiet? Still? Baekhyun? Those 3 words should not and cannot be in the same sentence. Nope. 
“Stop cutting me, it hurts.” he pouted as he faked pain, putting a hand over his heart to be more dramatic. The cogs in your brain are turning and you rolled your eyes when you understood what he meant. 
“Wow, Baek, that joke is as old as you. Since when did you become a ham instead of bacon? I didn’t allow this transformation. I also wasn’t notified.”  you inquired, a brow raising. He smiled sheepishly, grabbing your wrist, making you drop the knife on the counter and turned you around gently. He placed your hands on his chest before wrapping his around your back. It’s cheesy but he thinks the both of you fits perfectly like puzzle pieces. His gaze on you is intense, full of adoration and love for you, your gaze towards him too, is nothing less. The both of you held the eye contact, spotting shit eating grins on both faces. If any of the guys were here you will probably hear a loud “Kiss already!” or “Get a room!” or even something along the R-rated lines that should be buried under the carpet. That is until you saw a glint of mischief in Baekhyun’s eyes.
“Actually, maybe I’m a piece of cheese, or butter and because you’re so hot, I lost count of how many times I’ve melted for you.” he teased. Uhm, what the absolute flying hell did you just hear? Not the first time he had rendered you speechless but his level is increasing in a pretty rapid pace. Instead of popping his bubble like you usually do, you decided to play along today. You smirked, eyes sparkling the same mischievousness but Baekhyun’s glint in the eyes is turning confused, nervous even. 
“No, don’t you dar- aahhh!” he almost finish his statement before breaking into strings of melodious laughter, accompanied by your evil laugh (not sorry). Baekhyun is not that ticklish, but spending so much time with him means you have that much of time to find out all his weak spots. You quickly dashed for the living room after the assault, running for your life with your munchkins legs (as he like to call you). Needless to say you’re not able to get that far until he catches up with you, locking you in his grip of love. You tried flailing your arms or reaching for his weak spots in an attempt to escape only to fail miserably because he rendered you helpless as he caught both of your wrists in his grasp firmly. You make a mental note to distract him from going to gym and stuff him with lots of food after this. Going to the gym yourself is totally out of the list because you’re a lazy ass and that’s too much hard work. Yikes. He easily swung you over his shoulder, carrying you into the bedroom before laying you down onto the bed gently. He landed beside you with a soft thud, both of you chuckling from the little battle the both of you had earlier. He turned to his side to face you with a grin on his face, eyes crinkling. You do the same after catching up your breath.
“I think we should continue where we stopped last night. Shall we, kitten?” Baekhyun asked suggestively, wiggling his brows. The shade of red on your cheeks deepened while his smile widened. You rolled over, laying on his chest, looking at him with a grin, head slightly tilted. He met your gaze, eyes holding so much affection for you. He crinkled his nose and leaned closer to you giving you an eskimo kiss, rubbing the tip of his nose on yours before pecking your lips.
“Stop that, you’re so cute.” he chuckled. At the sound of his quiet laughter, you followed suit. He take this opportunity to flip you over before sprinkling your face with lots of kisses, each one firmer and louder than the previous smooch. Dragging the trail of kisses around your face and ending it on your lips. Once. Twice. Thrice. And the fourth time, his tongue swiped your bottom lip, asking for the entrance that you granted without hesitation. The innocent pecks became a passionate lip locking session, tongues dancing together as one. He pulled back reluctantly after sensing that you’re out of breath, eyes dilated.
“I love you so much, Baek.” you mumbled on his sweet lips, sighing, hands tugging his thick brown locks.
“And me, you, my love.” he replied. And the next time they express their love towards each other, it is not through words but action. And you know, with such good morning, nothing will go wrong. 
Except your abandoned ham. Oh no.

The Lord of the Rings Pre-Reread Review and Thoughts
I haven’t read this book through in like a year and a half due to college and stuff. This is entirely unacceptable, so I’m posting my thoughts on this book series (as well as The Hobbit and Silmarillion) now, rereading it as quickly as I can (guessing 1200 pages will take me a week cause I need snack breaks tolkien i have failed u) and then updating/commenting on my review to express how my views have changed. My memory can randomly be uncannily good… although it also makes its fair share of mistakes - fair warning
To begin, General Impression of Book: This is literally my favorite book. I-… I don’t know what else to say other than that I cannot wait to read it again. I am most fond of Tolkien’s descriptions of battles and villains… as you will probably be able to tell from the characters that follow. I hate giving a book such blatant praise because there will be other people with different interests than me who will be sorely disappointed if they take me whole at my word. make up your own minds, AND DON’T READ THIS CAUSE SPOILERS
Notable Characters:
Amazing: The (Lord of the) Nazgûl I first read this book in 7th grade, and Tolkien’s description of the Nazgûl was the moment I thought “wow. this is the best thing I have ever read.” The Witch King deserves his own special catergory, but I fear to drown you all in my love of Tolkien’s villains, so I’ll have to just quickly say that the descriptions-… putting them on my wall just isn’t enough for how much I adore this writing. This is from the girl who attempted to memorize the entirety of The Battle of the Pellenor Fields RotK chapter… before realizing it was useless because I couldn’t recite it to anyone without giving them the worst spoilers imaginable AND HIS BACKSTORY DON’T GET ME STARTED ON HIS BACKSTORY HELP I NEED TO STOP NOW OR I NEVER WILL The Barrow Wights, Shelob, the unnamed statues at Minas Morgul, Old Man Willow, SAURON, etc. - Ya know, I’m just going to list all the awesome villains in one lump and get it over with. Same reasons as the Nazgûl - creepy, awesome backstory, beautiful descriptions, need I say more? Faramir - the first of my collection of cinnamon rolls who did not deserve all the things (greatly expanded by Silmarillion characters). Faramir is just a fantastic character. I honestly first liked him because of his preemptive choice not to take the ring, even if it lay by the roadside, even if Gondor were failing and he alone could save it. He just-… he defied Sauron’s expectations of humans so beautifully and the contradt between him and his brother-… HE DID NOT DESERVE THE MOVIE’S ADAPTION OF HIS CHARACTER OKAY Eowyn - This lady is completely awesome??? I mean. Just read The Battle of the Pellenor Fields. Compare that picture of Eowyn versus The Lord of the Nazgûl to the movie version and cry in confusion at its movie rendition with me. Eowyn had her flaws, but she was there for her family, and her family-… was mostly dead BUT THAT’S NOT THE POINT *SOBS*. I will never get over the beauty of the tone change when Eomer sees her dead and the joyful “Yay we’re coming to save Gondor and everything’s amazing!” (not an exact quote) changes to “Death! Death! Ride to ruin and the world’s ending!” and it just-… it gives me chills writing this even now. (yeah. I know the movie put the battle cry of death at the beginning of the battle… *stifled sounds of anger* ) Merry - Merry was my first favorite character when I first read this book series. He was the smart one who got them out of all their problems… until he got eaten by a tree BUT DETAILS. anyways, his care for others and okay, stabbing The Witch King was absolutely 100% awesome. I have to stop now or else I’ll never stop
Meh: Boromir - I dunno if this will stick but I really disliked Boromir. His pride, the whole thing with Frodo and the ring, etc. like my comments with The Hobbit, I was quite a vengeful child so those impressions are the ones that stuck. Denethor - Denethor was just not a nice person. Cool character, not a nice person. *squints at all the 100% not nice people on my favorites list* u also hurt faramir but u are a nazgûl and u are awesome so u get a free pass
FAVORITE CONSPIRACY THEORY: Well I’ve got three. 1) References to Melkor coming back to destroy Arda are the best, and they’re fun to look for, (he’d better bring Sauron back though because reasons) as well as parallels and the like… there’s just a lot of really deep history which I love. 2) SAURON ISN’T A GIANT EYE COME ON PEOPLE. Off the top of my head (can get exact quotes later if anyone’s interested): 1. Gollum knows that Sauron is missing a finger - “there are but four fingers on the black hand” - after being tortured, would not be possible if Sauron was stuck as a giant eye 100% of the time. 2. The Eye of Sauron is described in… I believe it’s The Two Towers… to look out of a window (which conjures funny Rapunzel references for me XD). 3. The Appendicies… or the Silmarillion, describes the eye of… oh, I think it was “Sauron the Terrible”… as terrifying/life-ending/some delightful thing like that. This was while Sauron was in his “bad” form after the fall of Numenor but before the Last Alliance. 3) THE WITCH KING OF ANGMAR’S SUPERPOWERS ARE THE BEST OKAY
Thanks for reading! There are so many awesome characters that did not get on this list - Aragorn, for one, I loved his intelligence, leadership, and the whole sword thing was awesome in the book. Oh, and if you haven’t noticed, these movies bother me too. Not all books are better than movies, but movie plot alterations should at worst remain neutral and at best improve on the tightness and continuity of an adaption. If changes make it worse (and by worse I mean more convoluted or less thematically/emotionally resonant) i be mad.
