the friendship bracelet bombshell
Tumblr media
wc: 4.5k
enjoy the playlist while you read
no warnings! justĀ some good olā€™Ā idiots to lovers, mutual pining, and the bakusquad being good friends
Tumblr media
It all started with a friendship bracelet. This takeout-fueled, video game-interrupting downward spiral has all been caused by weaved bits of string in Denkiā€™s favorite colors. Every time he looks at it, stewing about its implications, he wants to hurl.
Heā€™s had a crush on you for months now, friendship gradually morphing into something more until suddenly his recently played on Spotify is filled with friends to lovers playlists and every meme on his for you page is about being in love with your best friend. And Denki canā€™t help it, really he canā€™t. Youā€™re so warm, so kind, that he felt drawn to you from the very beginning. Now he stares at the bracelet on his wrist, a flurry of unanswered questions and what-ifs swirling through his mind. Heā€™s doomed.
ā€œSero,ā€ Denki whines, head tipped back against the couch and body slumped into the cushions. ā€œI donā€™t know how much more of this I can take.ā€
As Denkiā€™s (other) best friend, Sero has heard it all, has been with Denki through every phase of his crush on you. In the mushy stage, Denki couldnā€™t go two seconds without fixing you with this disgusting, starry-eyed, lovesick look (He still canā€™t, and Sero doesnā€™t hesitate to remind him of this fact), complimenting you any chance he got. The pining stage quickly followed. A non-stop thrill ride of yearning and late-night phone calls where Sero endured waxed poetic about how badly Denki wanted to date you or how youā€™d brushed hands on your walk to the cafĆ© down the street from your apartment. The final, and most miserable, phase of them all is something Sero lovingly calls the insecurity phase. Any confidence that Sero thought Denki had has disappeared in the wake of the uncertainty and unresolved feelings that crushes often bring. The result has been catastrophic, with Denki second-guessing every smile and every text. Sero firmly believes that this damn friendship bracelet is the beginning of the end. A bomb is about to go off, and heā€™s sitting at the point of impact, a PlayStation controller in one hand and his phone in the other.
Denkiā€™s in love with you, that much is nauseatingly clear, and if he knew even half the gossip that Mina has so graciously supplied over the last month, heā€™d know you feel the same. Itā€™s amazing, Sero thinks as he steels his nerves to deal with more of Denkiā€™s whining, how two people can be so utterly clueless.
ā€œWhat am I supposed to do now? This is the last straw, the final nail in the coffin! I think I might just die.ā€
Sero stares longingly at the looping menu screen on the TV, desperately wishing they could go back to the game. How did he even end up here? ā€œYou know this doesnā€™t mean they donā€™t like you, right?ā€
Denkiā€™s head snaps up from the back of the couch, betrayal setting firmly across his face. ā€œItā€™s a friendship bracelet, Hanta. Itā€™s in the name!ā€ He emphasizes the word friendship with a flourish of the offending bracelet, waggling it in Seroā€™s direction.
Despite the annoyance bubbling beneath the surface, Sero knows he needs to approach this situation with the utmost delicacy, lest Denki start to spiral even further. ā€œDenki,ā€ he says calmly, though he canā€™t stop a sigh from escaping his lips. ā€œDude, relax. Iā€™ve told you a million times that I think they like you back.ā€
Seroā€™s phone buzzes in his hand, and he spares a glance to check the notification.
< mina: these two are idiots šŸ™„ >
< sero: youā€™re telling me >
ā€œWell, did they tell you that?ā€
The question pulls Sero away from his phone. ā€œHuh?ā€ Well, you told Mina and Mina told him, soā€¦. Kind of? Sero canā€™t tell Denki that, though. ā€œI mean no, but their crush on you is about as obvious as yours is on them.ā€
ā€œIf I mess this up by telling them when I donā€™t know for sure,ā€ Thereā€™s a serious edge to Denkiā€™s tone that makes the other man shudder, ā€œthen I can kiss our friendship goodbye.ā€ A beat of silence, and then, ā€œAnd Iā€™m not willing to do that. I just- Iā€™m just not.ā€
Tumblr media
A train ride away, your night is going much the same way, lamenting over the grave mistake you call a friendship bracelet. The incident with the bracelet has loomed over every conversation Mina has had with you over the last week. Sheā€™s heard it all ā€” the worries about punting Denki directly into the friend zone, the plan to give everyone a bracelet to make things less awkward (She shut that down almost as quickly as the words left your mouth). She has one of your hands in her own, trying and failing to paint your nails. You talk with your hands, especially when youā€™re stressed, and itā€™s making her job that much harder.Ā 
ā€œMina, what if I just completely friendzoned him? I mean, itā€™s in the name.ā€
ā€œThen tell him how you feel! Clear the air, ya know?ā€
You huff, almost offended. ā€œWell, I canā€™t do that!ā€
When your hand comes to rest on the table, much like a tiger awaiting its prey, Mina pounces. She locks your hand in her own, nail polish brush poised in the other. She refuses to tell you the obvious, refuses to just spit out that the poor blonde is disgustingly, embarrassingly down bad for you; thatā€™s for you to find out on your own, but this back and forth game is getting exhausting. What more coaxing could she and Sero possibly do? She wonders, briefly, if you and Denki are simply doomed to be clueless, lovesick morons for the rest of your days, pining after one another until one of you dies (or gets over it, whichever comes first). But, being the hopeless romantic she is, Mina can't resign herself to the fact that maybe it wonā€™t work out after all. Sheā€™ll coax and prod until her throat runs dry if she has to. And, if the situation gets truly desperate, sheā€™ll just tell you Denkiā€™s in love with you. Plain and simple. Sheā€™d like for that to come from him, though, so for now, sheā€™ll bite her tongue.
Mina swipes the color (a shade of yellow that looks suspiciously like a certain electrified heroā€™s hair) along your nail. ā€œWhy not?ā€
ā€œI-, I donā€™t wanna fuck it up, ya know?ā€Ā 
The pink-haired girl nods, listening intently.
ā€œIf I tell him, and it goes poorly, then he wonā€™t want to be my friend anymore, and thatā€™s, like, the worst possible outcome.ā€
Mina blinks at you like sheā€™s in disbelief that someone could be so dumb. ā€œYou and Denki are friends, right? Like, good friends?ā€
You nod hesitantly. The two of you are good friends, best friends even, though the radio silence youā€™ve endured over the last few days thanks to that bracelet donā€™t exactly reflect that sentiment. Denki makes you feel heard, seen in ways youā€™re convinced youā€™ve never experienced before. Heā€™s a shoulder to cry on, someone to confide in. You think about the late nights spent giggling at your phones in the darkness of your bedroom, about the photos throughout your camera roll of the two of you, smiling or pulling goofy poses or being close, emotionally and physically. Yes, you think as an ache settles in your joints. Good friends.
She stops what sheā€™s doing to pin you beneath her signature judgmental gaze, one youā€™ve only seen directed at Kirishima for his taste in shoes or Denki for his impulsive decisions. The sight of it fixed on you for once sends a shiver down your spine. ā€œSo explain to me why something like this would ever make him not want to be your friend.ā€
ā€œWhat if he thinks Iā€™m weird? What if it makes things more awkward than they already are?ā€
A comment slips past her lips about Denki being the last person allowed to judge anyone else for being weird before her expression softens. ā€œBaby, you know I love you, and Iā€™m only saying this because I do, okay?ā€ She waits for you to nod before adding, ā€œBut youā€™re dense if you think Denki would treat you any differently for that.ā€
Your friend watches you think over her words, like youā€™re examining and picking them apart in your brain. You sigh, hand going limp in her hold. ā€œI know.ā€ The apartment stills, silence only filled with the playlist Mina has on shuffle. You refuse to meet her gaze when you tell her, ā€œIā€™m just... scared.ā€
Mina frowns. ā€œItā€™s okay to be scared. Love is kinda scary, but I think you owe it to yourself, and Denki, to do something about it.ā€ She rubs a thumb over your knuckles, and you feel lucky to have such supportive friends. ā€œI hate seeing you upset.ā€
ā€œLetā€™s just,ā€ you deflate, focusing on the bottles of nail polish lined up in front of you, ā€œforget about it for tonight, okay?ā€
She nods, and goes back to painting. When sheā€™s done, and with your nails now dry enough that you can use your hands again, the two of you have a true, veg out sleepover night, watching videos and eating snacks to your heartsā€™ content. That night, you fall asleep with your head on Minaā€™s shoulder, some shitty comedy playing out on the TV in front of you.
< mina: we need to do something about this >
Seroā€™s response is immediate,Ā a text with a photo attached of Denki morosely fiddling with the strings on his guitar.
< sero: agreed. >
Tumblr media
ā€œWe couldā€¦ā€ Mina taps her foot, chin resting in her hand as she thinks over a potential course of action. ā€œlock them in a closet?ā€
ā€œThatā€™s too close to kidnapping for my taste.ā€ Sero fires back, dunking a fry in some ketchup.
ā€œOoo,ā€ Kirishima lights up, ā€œwe could set up a mistletoe!ā€
ā€œMmm, thatā€™s good!ā€
ā€œItā€™s not even December.ā€ Sero adds, tone deadpan.
An annoyed groan brings the conversation to a grinding halt. ā€œWhat does it matter anyway? Let the two idiots pine.ā€
ā€œBut Bakugou,ā€ Mina complains petulantly, ā€œtheyā€™re so in love it hurts.ā€
ā€œThat shitā€™s none of my business.ā€
ā€œBut theyā€™re our friends, remember?ā€
Kirishima smirks, knowing just how to push the blondā€™s buttons to get him in on the action. ā€œAnd if we help them get together, they wonā€™t be annoying about the pining anymore.ā€
Bakugou scoffs. ā€œThen theyā€™ll just be an annoying couple.ā€
ā€œWhich is worse?ā€
A hush falls over the table as Bakugou considers his options. The two of you have been so goddamn annoying the past few months, stewing over your crushes and making it everyone elseā€™s problem. But he knows if you get together, the pining will just turn to... mush, and then heā€™ll have to watch your honeymoon phase in full technicolor. At least, he thinks, the two of you would be happy then.
He throws his hands up, fork clattering across the table with the force of it, a scowl pulling his brows together. ā€œDamn it. Fine, the pining is worse.ā€
ā€œOkay,ā€ Sero interjects, ā€œso whatā€™s the plan?ā€
Tumblr media
The plan is a simple, and stupid, one. One only a group of desperate friends could come up with.
On Thursday night, the four of them light up the group chat with frantic texts about movie night and pizzas (and brownies, Kirishima adds excitedly) on Saturday. And then they wait. They wait for the two of you to agree, for Denki to offer up his apartment as the hangout spot ā€” heā€™s the one with the best TV (and the comfiest couch), after all. They wait for the pieces to fall into place, for the two of you to back yourselves into hanging out with the promise of your entire friend group there as a buffer.
And then, as conspiring friends do, they each perfectly craft their excuses to back out.
< sero: oh noĀ iĀ totally forgot i have patrol on saturday >
That afternoon, another text comes in.Ā 
< mina:Ā you guyysssĀ i told kyoka and ochako iā€™d see that new movie with them... i committed weeks agoĀ šŸ˜“ >
Then on Saturday, another.
< kirishima: stuck at the agency doing paperworkĀ šŸ˜© >
And Bakugou, ever the wordsmith, puts the final nail in the coffin
< bakugou: I canā€™t make it. >
You deflate with each text as it comes in, dread seeping in and tainting the excitement that had been buzzing beneath your skin over the last few days. You text Mina, suspecting that this was her doing, that sheā€™d pulled strings and got everyone in on the scheme to make a fool out of you. She assures you, half-heartedly, that she had nothing to do with it. It was all coincidence.
And on Saturday night as you stand in your kitchen, eyeing the freshly-baked chocolate chip cookies cooling on the counter top, you sigh.
< hey! i know everyone bailed, but do you still wanna hang? >
You so desperately want Denki to say no, so you stare at the chat until the three little dots signifying that heā€™s typing pop up ā€” as if staring will force his refusal into existence. But Denki, poor, sweet, innocent Denki, can never say no to you.
< denki: iā€™m still down if you are! iā€™ve got pizza waiting on the counter :-) >
So with a sigh, you allow the cookies to cool before you plop them all in a container and make your way down to the train.
Youā€™ve made the trek to Denkiā€™s apartment so many times that the familiar path sends you into autopilot, allowing you to shut your brain off, if only for a moment. You walk down the street five blocks, take the train three stops, then head up a few blocks from the station and youā€™re there. Snapping back into reality only when your fist raises to rap against his door, you barely have time to breathe before you see him.
The moment the door opens youā€™re met with Denki ā€” his hair tousled and eyes a little sleepy. Itā€™s disarmingly cute, and you have to stop yourself from admitting as much. You notice, much to your amusement, that one pant leg sits higher than the other, exposing his mismatched socks. The sleeves of his sweatshirt hang over his fingers. God, youā€™re fucked.
Unbeknownst to you, Denki is thinking much the same thing. Seeing you, all cuddled up in your comfy clothes, a container of cookies in hand, unlocks something deep in the back of his brain. Something heā€™s been trying so hard to just ignore. Your cheeks are pink from the cold, hair a little messy from the breeze outside, and when you smile, Denkiā€™s heart stutters in his chest. God, heā€™s so screwed.
It takes a second for him to find his footing, but when he does, he spits out, ā€œCā€™mon in! The pizzaā€™s getting cold.ā€ As you toe off your shoes and shrug out of your jacket, he lingers by the door, weight shifting nervously. ā€œItā€™s um- itā€™s nice to see you. I feel like we havenā€™t hung out just the two of us in forever!ā€
The comment disarms you, and youā€™re thankful your back is to him. Your heart hammers in your chest. Youā€™ve been avoiding him, and heā€™s noticed. Sending that text was a mistake. Your voice is bright, airy, as you reply, ā€œI know right!ā€
As you move into the kitchen, stealing a slice of pizza before collapsing on his couch, he adds, ā€œI was honestly a little surprised you texted. I thought the whole thing was gonna be off.ā€ He chuckles awkwardly when he sinks into the cushions beside you.
You shrug, a smile lifting your lips at the corners without thinking. ā€œWell, I couldnā€™t miss an opportunity to see you.ā€ You risk a glance in Denkiā€™s direction to find heā€™s smiling too, his cheeks a pretty pink color. ā€œAnd besides, who can say no to pizza?ā€
Around a mouthful of the food in question, he replies, ā€œYou know I canā€™t.ā€
Conversation flows easily, harmlessly, between you as you eat, and for a moment you trick yourself into thinking everything is normal, that you donā€™t have an annoyingly big crush on your best friend. That is, until he gingerly takes the plate from your grasp and throws it away for you. He flicks off the kitchen light and the living room falls into darkness.
ā€œHold on, Iā€™ll-ā€ he turns on the string lights that sit behind the couch. ā€œHowā€™s that?ā€
The incessant thumping of your heart travels into your ears and your face feels warm as he joins you on the couch again. Youā€™re making it awkward, you know you are. You can feel it in the way your body stiffens when his fingers just barely brush against the outside of your thigh. Youā€™ve been in this exact situation a million times before ā€” on the couch in close proximity to Denki, the room bathed in the soft glow of the lights heā€™d so meticulously strung up ā€” so why, now, does it all have to be so hard? So overwhelming? In a way, you wish things were different. You donā€™t want to tell Denki, not really, but the pressure of your unspoken feelings is starting to crush you.
ā€œYou okay?ā€
ā€œOh yeah!ā€ You force a smile, ā€œAll good.ā€
Denkiā€™s unimpressed. ā€œYou know I can tell when youā€™re lying, right?ā€
You sigh, defeated. ā€œYeah.ā€
ā€œSooo,ā€ he prompts, bumping his knee into yours. ā€œWhatā€™s on your mind?ā€
ā€œHave you ever liked someone so much you feel like you canā€™t be normal about it? Like, at all?ā€
Yes. Fuck yes. About you, Denki thinks. ā€œYeah,ā€ he responds casually, slinging an arm across the back of the couch. ā€œI think I know what you mean.ā€
ā€œThereā€™s this guyā€¦ā€ Denkiā€™s heart sinks, but he says nothing. ā€œ... and I feel like I really messed up, ya know?ā€
He hangs onto your every word, nodding along as if heā€™s hearing a sacred secret. In a way, to him, he is.
ā€œLike, weā€™re really good friends, and I like him so much, but I just-ā€ Your hand flops helplessly into your lap. ā€œI donā€™t know what to do.ā€
Denki speaks before he can tell himself to zip it. ā€œAny guy would be lucky to have you! I mean-ā€ A hand comes up to nervously rub at the nape of his neck. His cheeks flush scarlet. ā€œYouā€™re justā€¦ youā€™re great. And heā€™d be an idiot if he couldnā€™t see that.ā€ After a beat of silence and despite the ache in his chest, Denki smiles and forces out, ā€œYou should tell him!ā€
You fiddle with the friendship bracelet on your own wrist, and Denki realizes that the pattern matches his own. He feels like heā€™s running a marathon with the way his heart thunders against his ribcage, with how much adrenaline pumps through his veins.
ā€œI kind of already did.ā€
Youā€™re adorably sheepish, and Denkiā€™s mind struggles to catch up. He searches your face for an answer, and when he doesnā€™t find one, you supply, ā€œDenki, itā€™s you.ā€
ā€œOh. Oh?ā€ His brows furrow in disbelief, and his head tilts to one side. He whispers, ā€œMe?ā€ A finger points at his own chest.
ā€œYou.ā€ You tell him resolutely. ā€œItā€™s been driving me crazy.ā€
With the sweet, sweet confirmation that Sero has been right all along (Denki does not want to hear him say I told you so), Denki splits into a grin. Firing your own words back at you, he replies, ā€œI havenā€™t been normal about you in months.ā€
ā€œMonths?ā€
ā€œThe friendship bracelet did me in.ā€ He admits. ā€œI felt like I was making one of those detective boards with all the red strings. Iā€™d liked you for months and then you tied the bracelet on me and all I could think was, ā€˜Damn, I really hope they didnā€™t just friend zone me.ā€™ā€
You open your mouth, both to speak and to gape at him like a fish fighting for air, but he cuts you off.
ā€œNot that being friend zoned is bad or anything. I love being your friend, like, a lot, but like-ā€
You facepalm. ā€œDenki, I was so thoroughly convinced that you thought that Iā€™d friend zoned you. You shouldā€™ve heard my rants to Mina. I thought making everyone a bracelet wouldā€™ve made it better.ā€
Denki shakes his head. ā€œI think that wouldā€™ve actually killed me.ā€
You look at him, really look at him and despite the embarrassment of how long, how drawn out, all of this was, you canā€™t help but giggle. ā€œWe really are the group idiots, huh?ā€
He sighs, a chuckle of his own ringing through the air to match yours. ā€œI think this proves it.ā€
Fiddling with the fabric of the cuff of your hoodie, Denki canā€™t seem to force out the one question that lingers on the tip of his tongue.
ā€œWhat is it?ā€ You ask affectionately, your hand closing over his. ā€œYou look soā€¦ pensive all of a sudden.ā€
ā€œCan I kiss you?ā€ He asks, testing the water. His tone is so unlike him, so quiet and unsure like heā€™s afraid, after everything, youā€™ll pull the rug from under him. Like youā€™ll deny him, even now. ā€œPlease?ā€
And despite the mounting nerves that settle in your lungs and the tingling feeling in the tips of your fingers, you nod. ā€œYeah.ā€
Denkiā€™s hands are soft, tentative where they curl around your hip and settle on your jaw. Silence swirls in the air for a heartbeat, and then two, before heā€™s leaning in. Youā€™re so shocked, so wrapped up in how much has changed in only a few minutes' time, that when his lips finally press to yours, it takes you a moment to react. Itā€™s chaste, a featherlight touch of skin against skin, and when you manage to finally scramble enough brain cells together to kiss back, Denkiā€™s head tilts, he presses closer. He smiles against your lips as the hands on your skin curl tighter, pulling you in. Youā€™re chest to chest, your hands fisted into the plush material of his hoodie, when a moan, light and airy, unceremoniously leaves your mouth. In an instant, embarrassment floods each of your senses, and youā€™re left with your eyes wide and face feeling too hot. Your lungs heave as you fight the urge to hide your face in your hands.
ā€œOh my god.ā€ Your heart is hammering as you look at him. ā€œDonā€™t- I didnā€™t-ā€ You canā€™t explain the sound away; you know you canā€™t. A sound like that can never truly be unheard. God, you want to die. ā€œPretend you didnā€™t hear that. Oh my god.ā€
Denkiā€™s cheeks are pink as his gaze flickers from your eyes to your lips. ā€œI canā€™t. I wonā€™t. Itā€™s in my brain forever.ā€
ā€œWell, take it out!ā€
ā€œI canā€™t!ā€ He smirks, one hand mindlessly playing with the hair at the nape of your neck, as if to soothe your bruised ego. Itā€™s not working. ā€œNot when Iā€™ve been practically dying to hear a sound like that from you for, like, ever now.ā€
Your face burns even more at the admission and you groan, shoving your face into the crook of his neck. ā€œJust, please, stop talking. For the sake of my mental health.ā€
ā€œI didnā€™t even really do anything,ā€ Denki muses, facial expression dipping into something more pensive as he replays the moment in his brain. Yup, definitely never letting that sound go.
ā€œDenki,ā€ you plead, ā€œcut it out.ā€
A hand runs down the expanse of your back and up again. Up and down. Up and down. ā€œFine, fine. Iā€™ll stop.ā€
You can feel his lips curl against the crown of your head. You know you wonā€™t live this down for a long time, if ever. Your eyes clench shut as you inwardly cringe at the thought. Great. A kiss to your hair distracts you enough to pull your head from his neck, forcing you to look at him fully.
Denkiā€™s grin is boyish, like the cat that got the cream, as he examines you carefully, eyes flickering to each of your features before finally, resolutely, he kisses the tip of your nose. ā€œIs it too early to tell you I love you? Too cheesy?ā€
You hum, eyes closing as his palm rests against the apple of your cheek. ā€œWeā€™ve been saying we love each other for years.ā€ Itā€™s not a lie, but itā€™s not the full truth either. Those I love youā€™s had been laden with unspoken confessions and platonic affection as of late, morphing their meanings into something different, something with more weight.
ā€œFine,ā€ he relents, kissing your other cheek. ā€œThen can I tell you Iā€™m in love with you? Is that okay?ā€
You think for a moment. You think about the tender way he holds you, the way heā€™s always held you. You reflect on the times heā€™d dried your tears or led you home to safety after a night of drinking, his hand in yours. You think about the sweet, delicate way he says your name, how he looks at you as if youā€™re the only person in any room.
You think about Denki, everything that he is and everything he will be, and you decide, voice resolute and eyes blinking open to take in the full vision of his face. ā€œYes,ā€ Your hand comes to rest over his and you squeeze his fingers, ā€œbut only if I can say it, too.ā€
Denki attacks your face in kisses with big, exaggerated smacking sounds, leaving wet kiss marks all over the skin of your forehead, across each of your cheeks. Your giggles fill the room, and they only seem to spur him on, smooching you even more fervently. He guides you back onto the cushions of the couch and when he pulls away, your ribs ache from how much youā€™ve been laughing. Your cheeks hurt from your splitting grin.
He presses one final kiss to that grin, one of his own tugging at the corners of his lips. Heā€™s barely moved an inch when, for the first time, he mumbles, ā€œIā€™m in love with you.ā€
You donā€™t hesitate to say it back.
And as you finally tuck into the couch, cuddled close together as a couple this time, Denkiā€™s arm curls around your shoulders. When you reach up to hold his hand, you stop to inspect the friendship bracelet that started this whole mess. You trace the pad of your finger over its tiny ridges before you lace your fingers together.
ā€œShould we tell the others?ā€ Denki asks as the movieā€™s title pops on screen.
ā€œNah,ā€ you tell him, squishing your cheek into his shoulder. ā€œWe can tell ā€˜em in the morning.ā€
The next morning, when you venture to the breakfast place down the street, you send a selfie in the group chat. Denki is crowding your space, pressing a wet kiss to your cheek. Youā€™re giggling. Itā€™s clear the air between you has changed. Something has shifted.
< denki: i beat the friend zone allegations once and for all!!!!! >:)Ā >
And with a chorus of finallyā€™s sounding off in the chat, Denki kisses you again, ready to devour some pancakes with his best friend.

So Oliver said that some people at the 118 are going to be surprised and others arenā€™t. So here are my guesses.
People who know:
- Maddie: Maddie has know for ages. Come on, ā€œboy crushā€ moment back in season 2? The ā€œwith a heart around itā€ earlier this season? Besides Eddie she is the person that knows him best, so sheā€™s going to know.
- Chimney: 1) Because he and Maddie talk. Theyā€™ve probably been discussing this the entire time Buckā€™s been raging jealous. 2) ā€œIā€™m your basketball beard,ā€ and the entire basketball game. Heā€™s rolling his eyes. He knows what Buck is doing. He just thinks the jealousy is over Eddie NOT Tommy.
- Bobby: I am under the firm belief that Bobby has known this about Buck since his first shift with Eddie. I will die on this hill that if one person knows itā€™s Bobby. Heā€™s had paperwork in his desk for years for Buck and Eddie ready to go whenever they were ready. He knows his kid too well.
The thing about these three is the only thing they will be surprised about is who Buck is seeing. They would have bet money on Buck realizing his bisexuality was tied to his feelings for Eddie. But they will be supportive AF, but also chatting behind his back that Tommy is great, but a stepping stone to knowing who he really loves.
Then thereā€™s the camp of people who donā€™t know:
- Hen: Iā€™m a little iffy on this one. If Hen is gossiping with Chimney, sheā€™ll know. But, if sheā€™s not taking to him about this specifically maybe not. Hen hasnā€™t seen Buck flirting with anyone (other than Eddie šŸ™„) that isnā€™t a woman. Sheā€™s seen Buck through his Buck 1.0 phase and sleeping with every woman in sight. She probably thought that if he was bi that heā€™d have mentioned sleeping with a man during that time. Or, since theyā€™re so close, she probably thought that ā€œwell if he is bi heā€™d tell me about that.ā€ So, I can sense her having a surprise.
- Eddie: Eddie is going to be completely and utterly blind-sighted by this information. Heā€™s not going to have has a fucking clue that Buck liked guys ( *cough* probably because heā€™s oblivious to like them himself *cough*). Heā€™s going to be super supportive, because he loves Buck so much. But, heā€™s going to question it soooooo hard, and wonder how he missed it.
BONUS: Christoper also knows, but itā€™s because heā€™s not a dummy and knows that his dads are in love with each other. Bonus points if when Buck tells Chris he asks, ā€œdoes this mean youā€™re finally dating my dad?ā€

Ok, I didn't want to post this at first. But seeing James feeling that he has to apologize to the annoying selfish crowd makes me mad and I need to vent...
Tumblr media
Of course xitter and IG folks are as obnoxious and spiteful as always. I expected some snide stupid comments but didn't expect that it's boiling up to so much ignorance and negativity, despite how transparent, nice and understandable the situation and statements of James, Net and Domundi are??? Heck, even one of his fan translator accounts I followed WHO TRANSLATED his statements is going mimimimimi šŸ™„ (girl you literally translated what he said and yet you don't understand??)
Before I go into the rant, I want to clarify that there are a lot who support and respect him under his posts. And his friends and family support him too. So it's not all bad but still:
The audacity and distortion of some peoples minds to either make fun of him now, want to see him fail, accusing him of getting into straight roles now in a heavy implicatory tone... (1. don't assume someone's sexuality 2. stop believing every BL actor is cishet 3. he's one of the more direct and open LGBTq allies among BL actors since the start of his acting career 4. I understand EVERY BL actor who turns his back on this industry with fans like these) Or to think they can demand him to just do one last drama just for fans pleasures sake (that would take MONTHS of work???). Imagine someone says they are unhappy and want to leave and you say "no, stay one year longer unhappy for my personal entertainment". Or demand for him to give even more personal details of the reasons why he steps back because apparently him being unhappy and has different goals in life isn't reason enough (he's not even quitting, he just shifts focus on other things!).
Aren't James, Nets and Domundis statements enough on this matter? He even made it extra clear that they (especially he and Net) parted on good terms, just have different goals and opinions in life which they accept for each other! They are still supportive friends to eo. James was not really happy anymore with the situation / workload / job and rather wants to focus on his other dreams and passion that bring him more joy!
And ya know I can guess another reason. One that always makes me a bit worried about him. You don't need to be a psychologist to add 1+1 here (if you don't lack complete empathy):
Those who follow him a bit closer (meaning: watch his interviews and not just the ship / drama related parts, follow his social media stuff, watch his live streams), know that he's a very genuine, deep thinking and sensitive person. From what he publicly shows, tells and lets out in his artwork (which is not happy art + here some of his thoughts + his fashion motives aren't all happy either). He already has horrible experiences from being bullied in school back then, where even teachers didn't help him (his family supported him tho). He once dropped during a live stream that he's "not always happy" and that's why he sometimes asks fans to encourage him. Under his top 5 fav books he recommended, are 4 self-help mental health type books for how to deal with toxic people, self-worth strengthening and mental recovering. (the other one is about flower meanings). He wanted to act as Uea in Bed Friend because he can relate to him, and wanted to tell people through him that it's ok to get help if you struggle and experience bad shit (like him getting bullied for his appearance back then).
I am not saying that he's constantly depressed. He seems more like someone who's fighting it and recovered from bad phases. But there are already cracks, so to say. But he seems to have a good support system with his fam and friends.
But he's struggling with haters / toxic fans since months (+ now even more). THAT worries me. That shit can get even to the most mental stable person. He said he tries to block and ignore them but it still gets to him every time he sees bad comments during live streams. I don't watch all his lives but I still witnessed it 3 times that he had to ask people to be respectful to him. Which I love seeing him standing up for himself and setting boundaries. But I can imagine that things like that are another factor for him to make a cut now.
That he injured his leg a few days ago surely just made that process go faster than planned. Like idk know why people still ponder why he didn't at least finish one last drama... Like are yall blind???? 15 stitches, he's on pain meds and is walking on crutches atm!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It might not be that bad of an injury (as he says) but he's in pain and has to rest for a while now. And before that he was part of Domundis concert (+ training for that!) and fan meeting in Korea. What's not clicking? .... when was he supposed to shoot a whole drama between that as a goodbye? (despite he's maybe in Zomvivor still, since that already started with shooting)
.....
And if you look at his drawings and his thoughts you might notice that him working in this, sometimes quiet shallow, industry seems a bit contradictive. That's why I already expected him to not stay forever in this industry. I just didn't expect him to step back so soon. Hey, I am a bit sad too, to see NetJames separate and James going a different slight way now. But I respect that a lot, that he knows when to say stop and pulls through with it. Now if only people could stop making him feel guilty over it.... It's his life and dreams. He doesn't owe the public anything. We can all be grateful that he shared parts of himself and his work for almost 3 years now? Despite he never really wanted to go into acting. But now that he made it here he's not even leave, he just wants to do other things as well šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø
btw his recent drawing from yesterday
Tumblr media Tumblr media
His last IG story is him playing video games with a friend. So he's doing oke. It just annoys me how some "fans" react, they are not different from his haters. They behave like he is their possession and personally betrayed them.

hi!
first of all, I wanted to let you know that I love KSFM!! it's a very interesting and well executed concept! there are so many aspects I love that I can't put them all in this ask. it's also because I am bad with words :[. I did leave a comment in ao3 with my thoughts tho!
secondly! I am really exited for your james lives au! I'm sure it will be just as intriguing and amazing as KSFM! (but don't feel pressured to post it tho! I'm really looking forward to it but I will patiently wait for it!)
and lastly. well. I wanted to tell you that I read KSFM as KMS (as in. kill myself) all the time šŸ™„. I've given up on trying to correct my brain and just accepted my fate šŸ˜”šŸ˜Œ. idk I thought it was funny and I wanted to let you know lmao šŸ˜ŒšŸ˜Œ
anyways. I hope you have a lovely day! <3
Hi there!!! Thank you SO much for your kind words!!ā¤ļø
This actually came at a really good time because I'm working on the next chapter and I seem to be going through a phase right now where I dislike everything I writešŸ˜… Hopefully I'll figure it out soon, but I'm just really grateful for your encouragement!
And thank you for your comment!! I'm very behind in replying to comments on AO3 because I got kind of overwhelmed in February haha but if I haven't already, I promise I will reply soon! It always means SO much to me when people take time to share their thoughts with meā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø
(as for the KSFM - KMS thing...hahahašŸ˜… As someone who frequently mixes up abbreviations myself, I can see how that can happen!!!)
Thanks again!!! Have a lovely day as well!!

Court of darkness ships
Explained *biased and /hj*
Tumblr media
Guy x Toa
Oh this just reeks of trauma and internalized homophobia you broken broken men!
Do you actually hate him or do you hate him because your attracted to him and you've been conditioned to think that's wrong and sinful and your channeling all that into anger toward the person your the person your attracted to and supposed to hate more than anybody and the "feuding families" provides you with an excuse.
Like babe closet is glass, its giving obsession, fan behavior, go be homoerotic somewhere elsešŸ˜
Mfs glare at each other so often you think they're staring into each other's eyes
Mfs are about to kissšŸ’€šŸ’€
Spouting insults at eachother at any chance they get
Gay as hell to have an arch nemesis, tf he arching? His back?
"I can't stand the sight of you" "I hate the sight of you more" like bruh might as well be a declaration of lovešŸ’€
Guy x Fenn
This fanfic.
If you tell me these two haven't had sexual intercourse you're lying.
They've literally kissed before
IN CANONā€¼
MULTIPLE TIMESā€¼ā€¼
Guy lets that man get away with a little too much with him if you get what I meanšŸ¤ØšŸ¤Ø
Guy x Jasper
What straight man acts like thatt!!
Again the closet is glass
You don't have to act like you not boyfriends we already know, you straight up be flirting in front of everyone anyway
Nah cus why they act like a married couple in their honeymoon phasešŸ’€šŸ’€
The other princes have a valet, Guy gets a life partneršŸ’€
These two act like they're in a polyamorous relationship with MC no matter which one MC is specifically dating
No way these two haven't kissed
They walk into a room together and the air gets a little fruitier
Hold on-
Tumblr media Tumblr media
šŸ¤ØšŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆā‰ļø
Guy x Roy
It's giving "I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you until you love me"
Roy literally gets jealous when other people have Guys attention
Roy's lil boy crush on Guy is sometimes a little embarrassing like bro is whippedšŸ’€šŸ’€
Like bro is so in love with himšŸ’€šŸ’€
Guy x Lynt
Guy secretly likes being cuddled.
This pairing is proof nobody can say no to Lynt
"Let go of me, I'm not your pillow." *dosen't struggle* *makes no effort to move* *ends up either napping with him or staying there the whole time for Lynts comfort*
Lynt likes Guys smell and Guy simply does nothing about it
I bet Lynt can tell when Guy uses a new body wash
Toa x Lynt
I've learned the ship name for this qelkedia and I love it
this fic.
Nah but for real tho these two are actually besties like
Lynt was the first person to give Toa a candy when they were children, if that doesn't sound like the beginning of a budding romance idk what isšŸ™„šŸ™„
Like imagine it, Toa(šŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆ in denial) crushing on Lynt this cuddly cute bean and every time he does Toas having a major internal gay panic cus "I swear I don't like men, this is just normal Lynt behavior"
The internalized homophobia is hittingšŸ˜³
Lynt x Roy
Imagine Lynts consort path right
Except Lynt and Roy fall in love instead.
That's all I have to say about that.
Roy also takes care of LyntšŸ˜­šŸ˜­
Who else would be fully willing to CARRY Lynt to their S rank lectures because he wants him to go to class for once and its apparently commonšŸ˜­šŸ˜­
"Will you carry me?" "If I must"
That's his boyfriend yall.
Violet x Jasper
Tell me they're not exes. I dare you
They used to date and Jasper did something (cus let's be honest why wouldn't it be Jaspers fault) and that's why Violet doesn't trust him
"Be wary of Jasper, he is a bad bad man" "to what do I owe such slanderous claimsšŸ˜Š" "YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHY"
"While I have you here, would you join me in town for a drink?" "Would you happen to be inviting me out on a date?" "Maybe I amšŸ˜" "THERE YOU GO AGAIN, FLIRTING WITH ANYTHING THAT WALKS" "you wound me, not just anyone meets my standardsšŸ˜" "... do you enjoy lying Jasper?"
Tension so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Violet does however trust him and respect him as a valet but she will drag his name through the dirt if she can help it
Half the time she wont even say his name outrightšŸ’€ it's always some iteration with spectaclesšŸ’€šŸ’€
Idk for some reason I can see them having a reconciliation like say Jaspers in the valets quarters and Violet comes in but like is trying to avoid him but ultimately fails and then they're left alone in the valets quarters and idk have a heart to heart or some shit
Violet x Grayson
Tell me they wouldn't be drinking buddies at some point
So many times over in events and consort routes has Violet gotten drunk after being dumped by a man
Like if she was just broken up with best believe she'll pick up a bottle, and look Gray can't hold his liquor for the life of him
What ever happens happens I rest my case.
Like Grayson would obviously refuse a drink knowing he can't control himself when hes intoxicated but Violet, probably way deep in her cups by now and really emotional dosen't wanna drink alone and probably doesn't wanna be alone in general since she just got dumped so Gray gives in promising to pace himself which doesn't work cus Grayson guzzles liquor down like juice like he doesn't know he a fucking lightweight
Again whatever happens happens, let them decide how they feel about it once they're sober
Violet x Tino
These two are besties yall
Violet complains about men meanwhile the perfect man is right therešŸ™„
Tino has nursed her back to health when drunk after being dumped multiple occasions carrying her to bed making sure shes safe(canon)
Stop looking for love and let love find you baby girlšŸ˜©šŸ˜©
Like I can imagine Tino carrying an almost black out drunk Violet to her room cus another man decided to be fucking BLIND and like Tino leaving a glass of water at her bedside and Violet deciding to be clingy is like whoa Tino don't gošŸ˜£šŸ˜£ and Tinos like šŸ˜girl go to bedšŸ˜/j but Violet just wants someone to hold if only for the time being. And Tino, sweet sweet hearted Tino is weak to the asks of some who truely seems vulnerable and needs a bit of comforting, stay with her until she falls asleepā™”
Violet x Hawk
Idk where this one came from but I like it!
Violet x Zev
Yall remember when Zev was flirting with Violet in the princes path
Tell me they don't have history right now
*Violet turning down his date invitation*
Zev: MMM! I love it when you ignore me!šŸ˜«
They went on like 2-3 dates, the issue lies where Violet is actually looking for a partner while Zev is just casually dating
Violet x Mc
These bitches gay.
Nothing about this is heterosexual.
Nah cus why both of them have admitted they wouldn't mind getting with the other
That's so gay.
Dia x Fenn
... you just had to be there
You know exactly what I'm talking about.
Dia x Sherry
I know what yall thinking
What?
But have yall seen they're interactions in the short storiesšŸ˜­šŸ˜­
In Dias path itself Sherry says to mc that it would be nice to know Dia as well as her likešŸ˜– baby
In the short stories it mostly them bumping into eachother and Sherry's like wow your so pretty and you should smile more
One in particular where they run into eachother and Dias trying to get away from her(like he does with every one) and he smiles politely and says he has somewhere to go and Sherry's like wow you have such a beautiful smile, you should smile more and Dias like "...thanksšŸ˜³" and blushes and at the compliment then Sherry's like gimme one more big smile and he does smile, hes like šŸ˜Š and shes like I hope you have cause to smile more often, smiles make for more harmonious communicationsā™”
That's so cute yall
In another story they wanna borrow the same book from the library but Dias like you can have it let's her have the book but the Sherry's like we should read it togetheršŸ˜„šŸ’–
Like?????????
Is this a slow burn romance or somethingšŸ˜³šŸ˜³
No but fr Dia acts annoyed but hes actually so nice to heršŸ˜­
Rio x Sherry
Not my personal feat, I prefer them as friends
But they cute asf
I love a good friends to lovers moment
Especially knowing they're known each other since they were children
Childhood friends to loversšŸ˜‹šŸ˜‹
Also the height difference is so cute
Rio is 6'2-6'3 and Sherry's literally 5 feet tallšŸ’€
Shorty has to crain her neck to look up at him and Rios like *lifts her up by the armpits* therešŸ˜„
Roy lowkey ships them but the big brother in him is like nah
It's not that he doesn't think Rio is a good guy it's just that that's his baby sister!!
The day Sherry gets a paramour is the day Roy dies a little inside.
Addis Ira x Gilbert Qelsum
These is literally the most hateful mfs.
Traumatized their children and are shitty people in general
Why are they the only kings that mutually like each others
Gilbert trusts Addis
Hes the only one of the kings that he does trust btw
And Addis dotes on Gilbert
Why are you doting on him-- are yall in a relationshipšŸ¤Øā‰ļø
Nah cus why all the other kings is like if one trusts another, the other is scared of them or one likes and the other thinks they irritating or they both just hate eachother
I bet they bond over disliking Roc Avari--
I'm stuck on Addis Ira doting on Gilbert
How you doting on a grown ass man but not yo child--
SusšŸ¤Ø
Tumblr media
Moral of the story, Guy is fruity as fuck, gayest bitch in the building, Violet got hella rizzšŸ˜© and Toa and Lance are step siblings--

Sad thing is that I actually AM a fan of Armaniel lol (go through phases of being interested in them, Loumand, The Dubai Trio, or Danlou), but unfortunately the majority of Armaniel shippers ended up being so annoying because a) fandom can never be normal about a relationship between a white person and a poc, and b) they can't even sit back and give Loumand their space to shine this season. Because if it's not Loustat shippers thinking everything Loumand does is because of Lestat, then everything Armand does HAS to be because of DanielšŸ™„

Love Reading šŸŽ‡ - April 2024 - Cancer
Singles:
Who is Coming In: Queen of Swords & 2 Swords
Regarding: Temperance
Long-Term Potential: 10 Pentacles
An ex. Maybe just a Libra. Or both. Thereā€™s been a separation between you for whatever reason, I donā€™t see a lot of angst or pain here, maybe this person was away for work for awhile. They ā€œhad businessā€ somewhere, thatā€™s how itā€™s coming off, could be school, training, military even, thereā€™s a logical and practical reason why this person has had to be away. Theyā€™re obsessed with you though, entranced would mean when you walk into a room, this person doesnā€™t see anyone else, theyā€™re very genuine in their feelings - even if they come across as kinda detached, could have air in their chart, itā€™s a protective thing. They feel all of the right things. You could be mad at them or upset with them, however this ended, itā€™s not saying. It only says that theyā€™ve taken their time coming back around because theyā€™re afraid of what youā€™ll say or do. This person has changed a lot since whenever you two interacted, Phoenix shows a whole new perspective & life change, theyā€™re not the same, but they kinda fear youā€™re going to see them however you saw/knew them. Very strong character and also hesitant, indecisive, they know what *they* want but canā€™t control other peopleā€™s decisions, obviously. They do intend to be fair to you, part of this time passed may have been them waiting on you to do something, you didnā€™t, so they are.
Long term shows 10 Pentacles, The Hierophant on the bottom, they intend to fully commit to you, this is a whole marriage being shown. Is forever good? Thatā€™s the plan. There could also be a new job opportunity in one of your careers where the other person might get on too, working together in tandem somehow. Like a bakery you both run, a sales team with a married couple, somehow work and love intermingle for you both, this has major power couple potential ā¤ļø

Regarding: Ace of Pentacles
Difficult energy to read, both of you, because the situations are different. For you Iā€™m sensing a major lack in confidence and pressure on yourself to meet some standard - you donā€™t speak about - and your person has no flippinā€™ clue whatā€™s even going on. Youā€™re defensive with them, or generally, and they have no idea why. Or they act that way. They feel theyā€™re very generous towards you, they give you money (an Ace of Pentacles) and romance (a Page), and why is that not good enough? This is a person who probably plays dumb with underlying motives/intentions, or they see you that way. One of you feels like theyā€™re can see right through the other person and all of the avoidant/sneaky bs that comes with them, Ace of Swords would probably be calling that out. Like I see you, youā€™re not fooling anyone. What I see with them, is theyā€™re giving bare minimum effort and expecting everything to be peaches šŸ‘ , while youā€™re over here with 10 Wands. If you address it or act a way, they could feel like youā€™ve ā€œabandoned happinessā€, like youā€™d rather stand around with an attitude than just being happy with the crumbs they lay for you, jeez Cancer how dare you šŸ™„ They could do more of something in your world & you know it. They pretend not to. Or theyā€™re calling you on the same thing, direct communication, honesty, being open about intentions & actions and boundaries are whatā€™s necessary with this 7 Swords behavior. They may have enabled it in you, or you have with them. They do love you and see you as the one.

Be aware that sorrow can shape your soul like fire forges a sword.
You: 9 Swords rev, The Fool, 10 Wands
Regarding: Queen of Wands
There seems to be outside people, 3 Queens besides this person and yourself, who is at the bottom. Someone couldā€™ve left someone else for you, or this person left you someone else and now wants to come home. Queen of Wands can show a pretty women period, maybe one at work or one online, doesnā€™t have to be a full 3rd party and it doesnā€™t really feel like it is. Theyā€™re obsessed with a particular celebrity or a pornstar idk, itā€™s made you feel some kind of way. Botox could play out with this Queen too, your looks, and how you feel about them. 9 Swords is rev so what once was very difficult and mentally taxing has eased up and started healing. You could be putting more effort into things like going to the gym or caring about how you look, but why? This person? They have no clue what youā€™re on about or why. Youā€™re putting a lot of unnecessary pressure on yourself and itā€™s like itā€™s in order to ā€œkeep upā€ with someone else, or keep your person? Theyā€™re not going anywhere. If they have at some point, then this anxiety has been the result. Youā€™re not being vulnerable about your feelings with them. For some this is a person in your life that could be really pretty, they make you feel like youā€™re not, even though thatā€™s not true at all šŸ’Æ Your person doesnā€™t think so. While youā€™re feeling these things, simultaneously youā€™re trying to keep calm and be loving, sweet, ā€œperfectā€ and arenā€™t showing your imperfections whichā€¦are part of who you are. All of the messy stuff, to some of us, thatā€™s the actual cute part ijs.

Regarding: 8 Pentacles
Someone in particular, could be family, coworker, friend, your personā€™s coworker/family/friend - makes you feel like less. This is your problem, not theirs, not your personā€™s, not even yours really. Just, why? Why does it bother you, what do they have that you donā€™t, what are they doing that youā€™re not, and why is that a standard for ā€œbetterā€ in your eyes. Realistically. Your person may have sent a flirty message with this Page of Cups, that could be the thing. Or flirted with someone period, a colleague? You found out and flipped out, now youā€™re questioning everything. That would explain their oracle, youā€™re fine youā€™re just dealing with the aftermath of hurt. Lack of trust, insecurity, wondering about intentions and feelings, etc., all that is fine and kinda expected. But if youā€™re not speaking then youā€™re just confusing your person - or thatā€™s how they act anyway. Boundaries need to be drawn, clearly, by you. You would appreciate this and wonā€™t tolerate that. Everyone is different and if they want *you* then this is how to keep or lose you šŸ¤·šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø Nothing wrong with speaking up. Both of you are aware of the effort that needs to be put in and both of you are aware of the competitive vibe now on the field because someoneā€™s feelings got hurt. Probably yours. I donā€™t see an ending, just a difficult time. Queen of Wands in your area could be calling you beautiful and you need to let this person know whatā€™s what, because you could easily find anyone. Stand up for yourself, youā€™re doing fine ā¤ļø
Same goes if youā€™re doing literally everything in the relationship and your person gives you bare minimum and acts like they have *no idea* what the problem is. Let them know šŸ’Æ and hold their feet to the fire, itā€™s bs and you know it.

I came across a vmin clip on insta end of last year and was instantly drawn to this cutie with such a beautiful smile. I knew they were from BTS but that was the limit of my knowledge.
I immediately sent that clip to my friend and asked his name and the rest was history. I spent hours and hours watching videos of jimin singing and dancing. I was surprised by how hard I was crushing on this guy since I thought I left those days behind during my teenage years šŸ˜‚ I donā€™t think I was this enamoured with anyone even during that phase šŸ˜ but there is something about jimin that has drawn me in completely.
I started watching videos of Vmin/ yoonmin/ jihope and was seeing this 3rd person frequently appearing in all these interactions jimin had. I asked my friend who he was *cough* JK * cough*
By this time YT started recommending jikook videos and I instantly felt some difference in chemistry in this duo.
Sorry I do have a point to this rambling post šŸ˜‚
I even brought out my Twitter account back from the dead just to get my real time Jimin updates.
I came across your blog from a google search about jikook and went through your masterlist.
Normally I am chill, in the sense, I do feel bad when I see hate against their bond but I rarely interact on social media. I am of the school of thought that if you canā€™t say anything nice about someone it is better to not say anything at all.
But I just got triggered today by that anon who said that jikook have been together for 7 years and since they are queer they would have not stayed together till now.
The audacity of that anon šŸ™„ I mean we donā€™t know what goes on in their personal lives. Sure they could have broken up or were never together for all we know but what that anon said was just (pardon my French) bullshit.
The hatred/ prejudice people have against a relationship is mind boggling to me.
Let these people live their lives and stop obsessing over every small thing about a relationship that isnā€™t yours.
I guess the anonymity of social media allows people to spew crap which they might not say in person.
People are so nasty on socmedā€¦all of them are internet warriors.
How can you hate someone you donā€™t knowā€¦the energy they expend on doing that.
I just wish happiness for jikookā€¦if itā€™s together then thatā€™s great but even if notā€¦then itā€™s fineā€¦as long as they are happy
Thank you for sharing your story of how you found BTS, jikook and myself! Lol I loved hearing about it. I... didn't even think about how i might be showing up on Google searches šŸ˜…šŸ¤£ oh well. I love that vmin introduced you to BTS in a way though. My cuties šŸ˜

Look, my thing is that I don't care who you ship, or if you don't ship, or if you think they are dating girls, or whatever your thoughts are. I'm solid and happy to peacefully disagree and us all go on our merry way. I just want respect and love for all the members. But it's possible possible say "I don't think they are dating" without being homophobic. And that's what's not okay. The homophobia can fck right off.

morse being queer (and other commentary) pt 10:
season 3, episode 2, ā€œArcadiaā€:

- too much iā€™ll tell u that
- doing too goddam much
- joan is such a daddyā€™s girl i love her
- i really wish monica and morse worked out
- theyā€™re both familiar with death and familiar with a commitment to a taxing job like they get each other
- in fairness i also wished heā€™d have worked out with jakes but we all know what happens this episode!
- ā€œyouā€™re very rude.ā€ ā€œno, iā€™m very busy.ā€

- [thursday] ā€œmorse has some reservations about this death by fire.ā€ [jakes] ā€œwhatā€™s new?ā€ [morse] ā€œā€¦ā€ [jakes] ā€œno. go on! who was he?ā€
- husbands. literally husbands
- thursday making fun of jakes for not saying anything inappropriate to Trewlove and jakes laughing while looking at morse while morse blushes

- as an avid follower of Abbie Hoffman, i wanted to get defensive about thursdayā€™s stance on free love but heā€™s right šŸ™„šŸ™„ besides gideon is an abuser so whatever
- END ILLEGAL REGIME!!
- i donā€™t like morse being characterized as someone who doesnā€™t support protest even tho heā€™s a cop and therefore would definitely be anti protest šŸ«¤
- jakes helping morse move in šŸ„°šŸ„°
- iā€™m sick.
- morse thanking him and asking him out for a drink and being upset when he says no šŸ˜€ iā€™m so normal about them šŸ˜€
- joan is so cute iā€™m obsessed w her
- ā€œdo the honorsā€
- i love jakes because he knows heā€™s leaving so heā€™s just being overtly nice to morse to be as close to him as possible for his final days
- once again, iā€™m SICK over them
- jakes approaches morse really slowly because heā€™s nervous to tell him
- ā€œiā€™ve been meaning to sayā€¦ā€
- which translates to: ā€œiā€™ve been wanting to tell you iā€™m leaving, but i didnā€™t know how to tell you. you, specifically.ā€
- ā€œyouā€™re resigning? you kept that quiet.ā€
- morse is slightly offended that jakes wouldnā€™t tell him right away. theyā€™re friends, arenā€™t they? but maybe theyā€™re not. maybe heā€™s wrong
- ā€œsheā€™s a great girl.ā€ ā€œiā€™m sure she is.ā€
- trying to be supportive. smiling and nodding and saying ā€œthatā€™s great news!ā€ despite knowing heā€™s going to lose jakes to it all
- then again, morse is the only one who knows, really knows, what jakes has been through
- he knows itā€™s best for jakes to get out while he can
- settle down with a beautiful girl somewhere really far away
- somewhere heā€™ll never see him again
- and itā€™s the way that morseā€™s smile drops as soon as jakes walks away. as soon as jakes invites him to his party and looks for a final time deep in his eyes and touches his shoulder
- his smile drops immediately and he lets him go
- but morse looks back for him. like orpheus he looks back, which only solidifies heā€™s lost him
- ANYWAYYYYYYYYYā€¼ļøā€¼ļøā€¼ļø

Ive never sent anon hate before but youā€™ve gotten on my last nerve ok? First of all how dare you continue to be a fantastic writer with the very best ideas. Your ability to curate the crumbs of peak level of nasty is unfair. Leave some for the rest of us!!!
I bet youre so gorgeous and i bet u throw that ass in a circle regularly too??? Ugh!??? Every fic u make has me wanting to chew my phone and phase thru walls and i am too poor to deal with the fallout of both.
I guess u hate the poor and horny!!! Ur taking advantage of my THIRST by continuing to make fantastic content because now i cant read anyone elses shit because its like dirty heroin compared to your pure black tar uncut supply. šŸ™„
Tumblr media
U CAN'T JUST SEND PPL SUCH DISRESPECTFUL ASS SHIT????
I'm literally WOUNDED. these hateful anon asks speared me directly through the chest and now I'm bleedin out all over the fuckin floor. somebody call life alert bc the world is cruel. my cries fall on deaf ears. u have cut the phone line.
I can't take much more of this. if u keep sending bitches (me), this VILE ass shit I might have to do somethin drastic and just marry ur ass or smthn.
u wanna be in a forced arranged marriage??? w/me?? the pathetic cigarette munching harlettt??? is that ur end goal??? u wanna be posted up in a shack hobbled together w/washi tape and bubblegum?? drinking sweaty sock tea for eternity??? u evil creature. does mercy mean nothing to u??? I'm sobbing. I'm standing in a jared's w/tears in my eyes. spending my life's savings on a beautiful solitaire diamond ring. what cut would u like? u have beaten me down into a shell of a human. round? pear? cushion? emerald? heart, like the one in my CHEST that u BROKE???? whatever u want ig.
how dare u say that my precious pookie bear of pain n torment would not pass the fitnessgram 20-meter pacer test. how dare u imply that he would trip over his oversized pants and bust his geriatric hip on the ground. how COULD u. my world is crumbling. I can hear the sirens. the wind is wailing and the sky is churning above me. RED and COAGULATED w/the blood of a million screaming hicks. this isn't how it was supposed to go. but perhaps it's what I deserve.
I'm blowing the horn of the last rapture and ur there to whip me w/a rod made of marlboro boxes and the tattered remains of a busted fanbelt. what USE are fanbelts at the end of the world? the cars don't start anymore, their engines useless and dead in their metal shells. ur pitching me forward into a landfill and I'm fallin FACE FIRST into a slimy puddle of expired mayo and beer. I thought u loved me?? but love is lost on ppl like u. my ass bounces and ur transfixed. sigh. but have u ever thot abt the soul that lives within that phatness?? u haven't. u never would!!! I should've KNOWN.
I'm on my knees w/shaky hands placing the engagement ring on ur finger. why am I sticky? how did I get coated in mountain dew? oh no. u scoff @ me. it's the wrong cut. u will have 2 pawn this ugly ass engagement ring and idk how ur gonna do that bc there are no more pawn shops in the apocalypse. shit. I can't deal w/the shame. my strap game is flaccid and ur words are razor-sharp. u made me lose @ wii bowling and I never lose @ wii bowling. u have rerouted my brain and stomped my will into tiny pieces w/ur shoes. they are the color of sunshine, of butter, of happiness. I used to know of such things.
light the match in our gasoline-soaked pussy hell. we shall perish how we lived, throwin it back eternally. so it has been written, so it shall be done.

... is Angus magic?
... Is Cathbad hiding that from the others? But like, kinda in cahoots with Angus about it?
Yes I'm back on this again, I'm sorry. It's hurting my brain because I had a loose "I hope he is!" headcanon, and now I'm like, "Oh snap, he might be. And him and Cathbad might both be consciously aware. This is a theory now."
I'm gonna have to watch this show for the umpteenth time (instead of only skipping around to my favourite episodes), because I saw episode 6 the other day - the one where Angus gets his armour - and noticed something:
Angus goes to Cathbad for help
Cathbad goes "lol no but here's a rock to help you find your way :3"
Angus goes ">:O" and leaves, then breaks in later to steal help
Cathbad trolls him again
Angus goes ">:O" again and finds some different magic powder
We cut away
We're back with Angus, who's under the effects of that magic powder (lmao), no explicit explanation for what happened
That's not the magic part.
Cathbad usually says a little rhyme before the powders work, but not every time. Maeve almost always says something when she's using her scepter, and by and large, those rhyme too. Except the one in episode six where she summons the Bull of Temra because lol. Both of them are magic and their rhymes just pop up off the tops of their heads - or they've very secretly been memorizing that shit off-screen. Whatever.
Angus can use the powders. He's a little all-over-the-place when it comes to making them, but he seems to be A-OK with putting them to use if you get one in his hand. So is Rohan, though. At the very least, Rohan's able to summon Tyrune by following a ritual with its steps written out, and even able to go backwards through that ritual to hurble-burble-kids-show-logic reverse it.
So it seems like:
Druid and sorcerer magic need little rhymes to work
Powders sometimes need rhymes to work
Only a druid or a sorcerer can use their kind of magic
Powders are sorta open to everybody, provided you have it ready-to-go (even Aideen can dump one of Maeve's onto Deirdre's head)
Shit goes down more often than not when someone hasn't said a little rhyme. See: Angus (and Rohan) cursing all of Kells, Angus gassing Cathbad's chamber in the first episode, Angus getting stuck to a wall instead of phasing his hand through it (I am willing to believe that kid-prince-guy was muttering something under his breath, who knows)
I think the rhyming - for an in-universe explanation - helps focus the magic to give a specific effect, and going without just gives it a general effect that have maybe 70% of the job done, which is enough for most tasks. See: Cathbad lighting Angus on fire (a little) because Angus is sitting in the throne and goofing off. Doesn't need to be specific, just needs to be 'over there' and 'get his ass'. Compare that to Cathbad putting some weird-ass magic-reflection effect on Rohan's sword one time, which was based on magic Cathbad had to dig up from a really old scroll that took a while to find.
So.
The magic part.
WHAT WAS UP WITH THAT LODESTONE, HUH
Cathbad gives that to Angus, and the only instructions were, "It'll lead you to where you need to go. Like, the fight. It'll take you there."
At no point was Cathbad like, "This is highly attuned to that one specific area. It's like a compass that'll point exactly there."
At no other point was Cathbad like, "Yeah, lodestones are great. I gave one to Rohan and Ivar and Deirdre so they could find their armour, so here's yours. You know, the normal thing I do."
And at no point is Angus like, "cathbad i can't work with this, you need to give me the little spell-thing that i have to say, what's the on-switch for this rock"
No - Angus is like, "šŸ™„ awesome, bye," and keeps it with him, and then proceeds to do zero searching for any words that go with it between breaking into Cathbad's room again and dousing himself with laughing powder. This isn't a character who'd go, "Oh, laughing powder! Well, let me put that to the side and do a fifteen-minute off-screen search for the lodestone spell." He's a get-it-and-go guy.
BUT THE LODESTONE
This magic 'direction' rock that Cathbad doesn't give to anybody else, but that he freely gives to Angus (you know, the person Cathbad is always hiding his magic stuff away from), in a show where HAVING SOMETHING MAGICALLY POINT THE WAY would be EXTREMELY helpful, and that exists to point Angus towards somewhere extremely specific, is something where Angus can independently go:
"Hm. A fork in the road. Let me describe it. Oh right, the magic little saying, let me spin this into a rhyme real fast. Yay, magic ball of light to lead me wherever I want. Off we go, horsey that appeared out of nowhere!"
Like, it's actual magic. Something is being cast here. It's not as elaborate as "Tyrune ritual over a fire," but it's not as foolproof as "Hold it up and it'll do its thing for you." It doesn't 'go' until Angus says what he says.
And rocks in this show - crystals, I mean - get a big thing made out of them constantly. That prince-kid was able to use Maeve's scepter but shot everything to hell because he didn't know how to use it, so that runestone needs a specific kind of focus to do anything useful. Same for that crystal she summoned the hell-wizard from. Same for the Tir Na Nog jewels that bring everyone downstairs. It's either "Do something vague and general" or "Do something super specific".
(We even see some of that specific vs vague thing with Rohan as he uses King Fin Varra's walking stick over the pool in Tir Na Nog; Rohan can't really control it and isn't saying anything to 'focus' it, other than that he's searching for something. Super adorable that it goes to all of Rohan's probably-favourite-moments of Angus (lmao get dunked on), but also, Angus is the one saying, "šŸ˜’ you don't know how to use that thing" before Rohan even tries. It's the one thing Maeve and Cathbad say to everyone who's getting into magic they don't know how to use, and suuuuuper interesting that Angus is telling Rohan that instead of letting Rohan just try or even volunteering to do it himself. It's kinda like Angus knows enough about magic to not expect anything to happen when it's fairy magic being used by someone who's not a fairy, and certainly not as precisely as what they're trying to do. That's the only time he ever seems to give up on magic: when it isn't working, but he doesn't have any issue with using the lodestone. (Also I vote for 'Rohan lucks into it using his main character powers with a minor in being an awful apprentice' for how Rohan got the fairy magic to work.))
All of that to say...
Cathbad giving Angus that magical lodestone, which needs magical words, which he does not give to Angus, but that Angus comes up with on his own, and that only Angus gets despite it being very equally as useful for the others in getting their own armour, and that Cathbad gives him like it's no big deal, and that Angus (correctly!) accepts like it's no big deal to him either, and that Cathbad hands over pretty damn sarcastically, tells me...
Cathbad knew Angus could use this thing
Angus knew he could use this thing
This is just magical enough that effort has to go into casting it
It's mundane enough that no one freaked out asking why Angus was given such powerful help
It's mundane enough that Angus either knew the spell already or was able to make it up on the fly
It's magical enough that it was only given to Angus
And here's where I get into the part about 'cahoots': you know when that lodestone would've been super helpful?
Finding Tir Na Nog.
This lodestone was in episode six, so yeah, they could've forgotten about it by the later episodes (when it would've really helped them find a lot of stuff), but episode one was quite literally, "Find this magic place." And Cathbad did not give Angus this rock - or Rohan.
And like šŸ‘€
Angus uses the lodestone very freely.
By himself. There's no one around when he casts this except the horse.
But when they're off to find Tir Na Nog, it's Angus and Rohan.
So like šŸ‘€
I'm wondering if my thinking that Cathbad isn't helping Angus is a 'thing' they do to cover up that no, Cathbad is teaching Angus shit too. But secretly.
Druids do seem like assholes, even with each other, and sometimes Cathbad gets a little, "You should be a better apprentice" with Rohan about non-magical stuff (the dude's given up on Rohan doing anything magic). Since Cathbad's like that with Angus literally all the time, especially about magic (he sounds decently fond of Angus when they're talking about anything else, but 90% of their conversations are about magic so šŸ¤·šŸ½ā€ā™€ļø) and about using magic on him, I can see that being a little, "That's just what magic users do to each other: rain down torment! Constantly! It's our love language uwu You learn new spells by surviving the ones I zap you with BUT PRACTICE OUTDOORS YOU MENACE"
(Which - another point - Cathbad doesn't seem overly concerned by the idea that Angus got shrunk a second time during that episode where Midar's pretending he is Angus. And that's well after the episode where Cathbad intentionally shrunk Angus, and where everybody gasped like it was the first time ever. Could be a ":3 glad to see you were practicing that torment i rained on you before. you half-did it lmao you noob")
Who knows? Maybe too many druids in one place is bad. Maybe Cathbad's only allowed to have one apprentice because Conchobar (or the Druid guild or whatever) is super strict, and Cathbad got the source of the magic around Rohan confused. Maybe Cathbad's actually uhhhhhhhhh... keeping Angus safe from people who'd be very interested to know the kid with the sword who can't cast a damn thing without it being written down and is therefore the worst apprentice ever and not a magical threat and everybody knows it is not actually the real apprentice here.
It all comes back to me being like, "Cathbad, you give Angus a lot of shit - a disproportionate amount - while being willing to use 'I'll teach you some magic' as a bribe to wish for rare ingredients and handing him magical rocks soooo sarcastically that no one's actually going to think you genuinely helped him, except for Angus, who just won't think you helped him enough."
šŸ‘€
I like it.
Watch me stumble on a scene I forgot about where they're all like, "ya everyone uses lodestones, they're super easy"
