True facts about my home town that I think about sometimes:
Nobody knows how big it is or what the borders are. There is some general consensus on what buildings are inside the town and which buildings are outside the town, as well as which buildings are definitely a different town entirely, but there is no clear "You are now in" or "You are now leaving" type locations you can point to on a map.
Tangentially, there are people one or two towns over, less than a 45 minute drive away, who will regularly ask "where is that?" Or, "I've never heard of that place" when you mention the town by name.
There are so few people that it is technically classified as a Village.
For many years, our only gas station did not sell gas. Once it began selling gas, I remember that they had to patch up the giant hole in a nearby billboard and use it to declare, "We Have Gas!", which was hilarious.
The whole place is mostly just woods.
There is some disagreement among locals as to whether or not there are wolves in the area. That being said, I have absolutely seen wolves in the area.
There is a public transit system that passes through. That said, it only stops by three times a day, and there are no set stops, so you kind of just have to pick a spot on the side of the road and hope for the best. If you are already on board and want off, you have to ring the bell and tell the bus driver where to pull over, which they may or may not do depending on the driver, the weather, traffic conditions, and general vibes.
I had three neighbors and I didn't even see any of them until about fifteen years in. One property across the road was a farm where I never saw anyone outside, but cars and equipment would move places throughout the day.
There is a post office. The woman who operates it is generally regarded as either incompetent or genuinely malicious, as she will often send mail back where it came from  with the justification that she doesn't believe your address is real.
The nearest actual city, with schools and a library and a hospital, famously has absolute dog shit cell service to the point that it is locally famous for it.
My childhood home specifically had a reputation for being a bad traffic spot despite being along a strip of straight road with no turns, and we regularly had to patch up holes in the fence from cars going through it. Most notable was one crash that woke me up as a child on Christmas morning, which I received a lovely thank-you card for noticing after I fetched my parents to assist.
Another time when I was a kid I went outside to find a car with the rear wheels in the air, nose-first in a ditch. I was home alone, so I went inside to call 911 on the landline, where I was immediately put on hold.
Someone stole our church and kept it for several years before inexplicably bringing it back and leaving it behind town hall. Just lifted it off the foundation and trucked it away.
The whole place is just around 100 years old and if you go into the woods you can still find hundreds of humongous tree stumps with foot holds carved into them from when the first white people came in and started settling down.
Apparently an entire family was axe murdered here in like the 80's and nobody talks about it

Gardenias, flowers that flourish and bloom with an inmense amount of rain, letting them bloom to fulfill their entire potential. Keeping their beauty far away from the sun, in solitude and coldness to fullfill the promise under the white shining moon. In a way to sink down back to the roots.
That is how you can describe yourself as, instead of broken piece of glass lying in a withered flower field that you truly knew you were.
A delicate flower, pushed to the edge by a will of steel. If not, a withered away chrysanrhemum.
You had endless ideas of what you could describe yourself. A total failure.
You saw in yourself a weed that needed to be pulled away by grief, to wither away. And stop existing.
That is what you only wanted. You had fulfilled your potential and that is what mattered the most. What more is there to this garden of existence? Your heart will still be locked away.. a cold persona taking it's place as a façade.. Hiding the true self you have inside. The frozen you, the one that needed to be thawed.
Yet here you were.. The grandmistress of a rising clan, built from the ground and already in the riches spectrum. It was nothing, but honest work.
A work fueled by your frustration of the past events, it already bloomed into success.
Under many stacks of paperwork, graced by the finest silks and materials.. You were yet unhappy. A productive life and success made your way, yet most would call you ungrateful, insecure..
Or ambitious.
You always kept up most nights if you didn't have the exhaustion to fall asleep instantly after a long day of working, to keep the utmost pace of your life. Yet you never slept. Never rested as if you were a.. stubborn camellia.
No one to walk beside you. This wealth made you more than unhappy. But no one was worthy of your affections. Other gardens tried to kindle with you and it caused you to push more away.
In younger years, you were a root that needed to grow, in a healthier way. Winding vines only made you slowly wither away, taking what you had at your sleeve.
Your heart. Locking it down tightly and never opening it again, for the sake of your happiness.
This pace would rather destroy what you have built rather than strengthen the bond.
You were going to last as long as a bee at this pace.
"It is not enough." You always thought to yourself.. keeping it deep inside the roots of your existence. It would forever be locked there until someone pulled the weeds.
A cold heart like yours isn't deserving of love.
That's what you always convinced yourself.
Undeserving.
Not enough.
Reassurance wasn't enough.
It never was.
-🌺
You stood beside your quarter's window, a view right to the beautiful-tended to garden and those foolish blood-colored gardenias outside your window.
They seemed to be communicating in a way to you, enjoying the calming sun as they bloomed and enjoyed the last clutches of autumn. As if their secret passion would let them survive the soon coming winter.
"Beautiful. Yet foolish." You muttered to yourself. Even after being alone, you kept to yourself.
Patience is key.
Flowers were always a fascination to you, you had decorated the gardens with many beautiful flowers that bloom around all year, but those gardenias.. they couldn't stay through the winter.
It only reminded you of yourself.
You knew that those flowers were beautiful, the red color was one of the most beautiful. Yet you felt jealousy at the bloody flowers. You wouldn't indulge in those.. passions that they are meaning to, love.. partnership. The thought made you scowl, your façade falling apart.
Your clan was utmost important. The only sense of independence you had at the moment after escaping your planter's clutches, it gave you the position you have now. And you couldn't afford to lose it.
Ever.
Yet those frivolous arranged marriage proposals arrived each day at her clan's gates. How foolish to think that she would accept them. They only want her power, and her wealth. It only makes your patience wither away.
With a sigh, you returned back to work. Yet your thoughts kept going back and then. Was love truly deserving of one like you? Or that façade would bring you nowhere near a friendship?
You wouldn't indulge in those senses.. yet. As none have ever captured your heart after it has been locked away. The way to thaw it is unsure to you as well.
This continuous delusional thoughts kept you away from your work. You wouldn't tie yourself until your demise over a man who does not appreciate you. It would be a quick demise.
Yet,
You are losing hope on expanding the power and control you have over the lands. Even as you keep overworking yourself. You will have no other choice to marry the leader of another influential clan. It would be the true bad end.
But it is not alright to give up, yet. As hope will start. Winter is starting to arrive and it always arises new opportunities.
And your thoughts will always keep you to the bloody-colored flowers that mean passion and secret love. A visible furrow of eyebrows and scowled appeared on your face. You could already hear your mother scolding you due to the
"Not lady-like mannerisms".....
You really started to hate red.

The Lin Kuei.
A formidable yet stealthy warrior ninja clan that specializes in defending Earthrealm.
It's former grandmaster, had been very influential on the up-rise of the Lin Kuei. And brought it to the highest-bloom point.
Even at a low-profile state, the clan bloomed into a successful amount of wealth and power.
But the grandmaster's first-born son: Bi-Han, a snowdrop in a human mantle that was trained his entire childhood to become the grandmaster.
He did not seem to have his father's ideals.
He matured earlier than expected in a will of steel. Cold, calculating and unforgiving. Commonly referenced to a demon in human skin. His childhood being something he is ashamed off.
Bi-Han resents his father for his harsh treatment during his roots: Being referenced that weaknesses are a horrible mistake, relationships and friendships will only be distractions and cause weaknesses.
"Weaknesses are failures. Failures are unacceptable and you know of it." The former grandmaster's words were imprinted in Bi-Han's head. A common echo of reminder in those roots of his. How he resented that.. doddering-old man.
Bi-Han's frustration often caused him to snap at his brothers, who didn't receive the harsh training their father gave to him. Yet he felt guilty at his usual hurting words, but his duties and stress would be constantly eating him inside.
After the former grandmaster withered away, Bi-Han had taken the mantle of his father, wanting to bloom the Lin Kuei into a better glory than to protect Earthrealm.
No time for friendships, relationships.
Or his brothers.
His duty was the most important aspect in his life, trained for it since his birth. Having to constantly work on financial situations, scold recruits and warriors for the unsatisfactory performances. It was a harsh job.
But these recruits needed a vine to pull them back together. To teach them a lesson,
That they wouldn't forget.
Yet here was Bi-Han, in the cold winter of Articka, sharing a meal under the shining moon with his brothers.
He barely made time to "discuss duties" with them. But due to the accomodate weather and temperature, he made an up-most exception. Not that he would admit.
Bi-Han was deep in his thoughts, while his brothers enjoyed the steaming buns right in-front of him placed on the dinner table.
Though he made an attempt to ignore the simple delicasies. Bi-Han's concentrated gaze was staring right into the soul of a newly-grown nearby tree,that increased snow started to fall from.
He had a work-loaded week, and now he could enjoy respite digesting steaming buns with his brothers. A quiet respite if he could just enjoy it.
"Winter is very close by and times will get harsher." Bi-Han though to himself. Even after mastering Cryomancy, he must prepare for the harsh climate.
Not only for himself, but for the rest of Lin Kuei warriors.
Bi-Han was brought out of his thoughts when his blood-brother, Kuai Liang, spoke to catch his attention.
"I was analizing the climate. I apologise for the distractions." Bi-Han tried to dismiss the subject with a wave of his hand.
He despised being seen as vulnerable. As if he was compared to a flower. Bi-Han scowled at the thought.
"Continue, Kuai Liang." Bi-Han said coldly, staring with thorns of long-frozen impatience at his adopted brother: Tomas, for a second.
Then back at Kuai Liang. With the same gaze.
Kuai Liang cleared his throat, his high body warmth due to his Pyromancy abilities, was now warming the garden of the conversation.
The frozen flowers showed cracks and they shattered due to the unusual cold. Which Bi-Han managed to ignore with no hesitation.
"Now that you have become grandmaster,
I believe that someone could join to command the Lin Kuei by your side, Brother." Kuai Liang sounded slightly hesitant.
Bi-Han raised an eyebrow. His icy malice fading by the moment.
"Explain yourself, Kuai Liang." Bi-Han crossed his arms with a questioning look, any more nonsense and he would explode, as a caterpillar out of it's metamorphosis phase. A resentment about to push out in an avalanche.
"..." Kuai Liang sighed.
"A partner by your side... Someone to be there.. emotionally and physically." Kuai Liang sounded more confident. Bi-Han allowed himself to root a strange.. considering glint in his eyes.
But before Bi-Han could respond with a snarky comment as usual, Tomas chided in.
"By what he means, is a wife by your side, Bi-Han." Bi-Han stood up abruptly, startling the two brothers.
Bi-Han glared at the both of them, and more harshly at Tomas. His tone was meant to bite deeply.
"Dismiss that nonsense, Tomas!" Bi-Han said while pointing a finger to the two of them.
"You know nothing of what is good for me."
Bi-Han directed his finger to himself.
"Only I do."
After the harsh snap, Bi-Han sat back down and digged into a steaming bun. His gaze moving away from the brothers.
Kuai Liang gave a "I am used to this" stare, and then gazed assuringly at Tomas who seemed taken aback.
Kuai Liang stood up and approached Bi-Han, placing a warm hand on his shoulder.
"Brother.. It could give the clan more glory. The freedom you truly want it to have.. It is not a weakness, but a benefit." Kuai Liang said reassuringly while Bi-Han only responded with an unamused stare.
Then Bi-Han looked down, considering.
"The Lin Kuei requires my focus more than anything else." His tone was more composed.
"Any weakness or distraction will cause failure." Bi-Han continued still composed, the iceberg seemed about to break. "And all types of failure are unacceptable."
Tomas went in to defend Kuai Liang. His tone more.. Desperate and he gulped afterwards.
"Bi-Han, I am aware that you are seeking perfection.. yet you fear failure more than everything else." Tomas tried to reassure Bi-Han, but the latter responded with a glare and a slam on the table.
He had enough.
"Hold that tongue if you wish to keep it, Tomas." Bi-Han said very harshly. "I have no intentions of discussing this." Bi-Han left the icy gardens.. Leaving Tomas and Kuai Liang with disappointment.
Bi-Han was sat down on his office.. Feeling guilty after snapping again to his brothers. On that same damn chair that he always hunched over and got all his back pains from. How he'd wish to freeze it, and throw it to somewhere else to be never seen.
How he'd wish he'd get out of his head those foolish delusional thoughts. To stop snapping at his brothers and not consider Kuai Liang's proposal.
Bi-Han really thought.. Is he really ache-ing for a love he probably doesn't even know he really requires? Or.. deserves.
If he did, he only wished for a loyal partner.
A woman fit to his needs.. Not someone weak, someone who had a will of steel similar to his. A gaze that defies nature. Someone who he would trust entirely, to the point of worship. Yet he didn't wish to show it as a weakness.
He wanted to nurture those seeds if he did manage to get attached. He knew it was unlikely, but all he wished is for the new blossoms to open.
Appearances were everything.
It truly made him want to rip everything apart.
But his duties are always the up-most important. Nothing will change his ways.
Maybe another day, another life or another moment, he could indulge in those thoughts. But for now, the Lin Kuei were up-most important.
Even if it cost him everything.

You held in your hands yet another rejected arranged marriage proposal.
The sun had fallen, and the sweet breeze of the evening had turned to the strong yet comforting mantle that arrived each winter.
Yet another clan has tried to bring down yours after you rejected their arranged marriage proposal.
It is not a surprise either. It has happened way too many times to count.
"These power-hungry fools." You knew you had no chance at this point. You had to marry into a clan and bloom ever more.
As a clan leader, your duties were always destined to benefit your future and not handle the past.
Yet you had to find the proper one.
You decided to check onto the many arranged marriage deals.. many were asking for 75% of revenue from your clan. That made you wince.
You have denied the blossom of any deep feelings, causing many of your stress and emotional unhappiness.
The gardenias outside your window didn't have the "positive" aura they once had. As if the cold winter had affected their once up-bright bloom.
Reminded you of someone.
And it kept you intrigued, contemplating the idea to investigate flowers once you have cleared your duties out of your schedule.
You will never catch a break at this point.
But for the sake of the clan, you will start to meet the one who will thaw that frozen flower within you.
To find the only worthy one, but only time would tell.
Once dawn arrived,
You would be ready to let the seeds grow.
For your sake.

The Lin Kuei temple was bustling with noise of the recruits trying to blossom their fighting techniques. On the quieter side,
Bi-Han was working on his office, handling important matters that were very indeed important, but not very important enough to mention. When Sektor entered his office with a paper on his hands. Bi-Han welcomed him in with only a stare and let him speak,
Crossing his arms over his chest. His gaze unamused as prepared to hear Sektor's usual ramblings.
"Well then." Bi-Han said slightly impatient.
"Grandmaster.. I assume you had accepted Kuai Liang's proposal?" Sektor said calmly as he placed the paper on Bi-Han's desk, letting him inspect the paper.
Bi-Han quirked an eyebrow.
"This, is a clan that Cyrax and I have been observing for the past 3 months." Sektor explained calmly once again, with backups of evidence slipping by. "Their financial debates and the way they continuously continue to grow is outstanding." Sektor looked Bi-Han, asking for approval on to keep rambling.
"...Very well. Keep explaining." Bi-Han's tone was one of interest. He inspected the paper, and nodded as Sektor spoke.
The lower part of the paper read as:
'The only way to affiliate as such is for the current leaders of the clans to conclude a marriage.' Bi-Han furrowed his eyebrows and then looked at Sektor who continued on rambling about how the clan's leader intellect was one of "other realms".
Yet, Sektor continued to explain.
"It is run by a woman. We haven't managed to collect any information from her. But from what we have.. investigated, is that she is a formidable business-partner.
It would make her intellect run the financial parts, and your strength to run the troops."
"This plan would make the clan bloom intensively, Grandmaster." Sektor added,
As if trying to convince him. Sektor stood tall, a hand to his chest. He was loyal to his Grandmaster, no matter what.
Then grew another sentence asking for Bi-Han's approval. Snapping Bi-Han out of his considering thoughts.
"This is a chance we can't afford to lose."
Bi-Han thought for a moment. He knows he can't refuse. Yet Sektor's proposal echo'ed on Bi-Han's head.
This could be the greater chance for the Lin Kuei to have the freedom it deserves. Growing inmensively in power would bring it to what he always envisioned..
And to... accept Kuai Liang's proposal.. He wasn't completely against it.
It was perfect.
Bi-Han placed the paper back down on the desk and signed it.
"Very well. I will be looking forward to meet this.. Grandmistress." Bi-Han said with stoicness laced with unusual interest and handed it to Sektor.
"Send it to the Grandmistress of that clan and report if she accepts an arrangement." Bi-Han continued, he was shivering with anticipation.
This was the best chance he had gotten this far.
And winter had just started. And soon after, it would all bloom.
But together, perhaps, two steel willed lives like a gardenia and an icy snowdrop might shape their lives and their clans into a sturdy netherrock, undestructible and strong.
Only if the meeting went the right path, that was. Only time would tell if an alliance could bloom where only distrust once reigned supreme, or if these two flowers were destined to remain tied forever, until their demise.
Bi-Han couldn't wait.

"Lin Kuei?" You repeated your advisor's words with a scowl.
"You are naming it as if it was stupid. It is not, my lady." Your advisor said reassuringly.
"This traditional Chinese clan is a very low-profiled one. Truly focusing on strength and power." You gazed at the signed paper by the grandmaster, Bi-Han.
Ninjas, you thought. Even though it referred at the members as "warriors."
How old-fashioned. Yet, the accidental grunt that you let out at the word was worth it.
This was going to be.. unusual unlike the other clans that have sent you arrangement proposals.
The Lin Kuei's grandmaster wanted to marry you. Like everyone else. You had to check what he required.. And what he was proposing in return.
He required 25% of your revenue. Acceptable, since the other clans required around 30% or higher. Which this situation caused an unusual tingle in your stomach.
...He required your skills? He didn't specify in the file. It seems it was not even written by himself.
And he was offering in return..
25% revenue of the Lin Kuei's profits... decent, yet acceptable.
Yet other thing caught your eye.
A grandmistress role, a chair-man position in the Lin Kuei... This was strange,
Indeed.
Most clans that came to offer, offered you a rather high rank and role, but none as high as to be an equal with the leader.
This caught your interest, indeed.
"A grab." You mumbled to yourself. Catching your advisor's attention.
You gazed back at your advisor, who was waiting for your opinion on the matter.
You blinked a few times from the lack of sleep. How long ago did you change your pillow's case..?
Whatever.
"My interest peaked. Do tell me more." You said a bit commanding, yet softly. You gazed back at the paper.
This paper had arrived by chance, unlike the many others that arrived at the clan's gates.
This one appeared on your window. The one that had direct view to those.. foolish gardenias.
Those.. Lin Kuei ninjas must have snuck here, how amusing.
You had to call your advisor for information on the matter. This Lin Kuei. Not open to the public eye.. no registry on your clan's archives.. The only way to gain information is having a meeting with the clan leader or a representative.
"The Lin Kuei's grandmaster is said to be a monster. Cold and unforgiving." Your advisor said with a hesitant voice.
"But as you have told me countless times.. You are not forbidden to marry and not blossom any feelings, my lady." You gazed back your advisor.
True words, as long as you helped your clan not falter by any means..
You would.
You stayed silent as your advisor continued to explain many of the benefits.
"I will keep it in mind." You replied with a calm conposture. "Send a messenger. I will have a.. peaceful meeting with this.. Bi-Han." His name sounded bitter on your tongue.
You had to meet a cold yeti, and you weren't afraid.
Only for the sake of your clan.
"Let's prepare some buns. I haven't ate in a few days." You said unamusingly.
Your advisor seemed worried.. You have not ate steamed buns in days..
Or you have not ate in days.
How foolish.
Let's hope winter doesn't crush the lilacs of your excitement.
Which you so try to deny.
-❄|🌺
The weather was.. emotional dropping to say the least.
The sky a neutral shade of gray smoke, a comforting aura yet taunting with the idea of possible rain.
You considered this weather to be the most.. relaxing. Yet productive. You mostly took days off on this type of weather, considering it a day for full respite.
Even if it quadripled your paperwork.
You were excited to say the least. You prepared your appearance decently. Because after the most work-loaded of days, your face would be puffy and tired.
Yet it was the perfect weather to start a meeting.
The wind was practically non-existent,
And you were preparing to meet the Lin Kuei's grandmaster. An optimal preparation was put in place. While you watched the gardeners arrange the many well-kept flowers..
Including those foolish blood-colored gardenias.
They were pretty to say the least.
Flowers were always a fascination to you. A visual break from the un-aesthetics of the common wither of winter and deterioration.
Yet winter had already arrived.. seeing how most of the beautiful trees had no leaves left in the roots.. The past dealings of autumn had left a temporal mark in their spare.
It gave you more than enough confidence to head through the meeting.
You were dressed rather formally, the room that you had prepared for the meeting was open, a large frame with direct access to the main gardens.
It was embroided with a dark-tone of high quality oak. With tall bookcases covering the walls of the room.
The room's large frame's purpose was only to gaze at which had withered away and which had survived winter's embrace.
Yet your attention kept away at that damned garden. How to not survive a winter?
Life is dependant on will and skill. Even those who do not possess skill survive through will alone. Otherwise, no will, pure skill.
What a blossom of thoughts had been keeping away the matters that needed to seed their way to your brain.
Your attention was called, chiding it away from your gaze to the mostly red-colored garden.
The room was finished.
And as you gazed at the many flowers,
As long as you kept denying it,
You could not deny your liking for the red gardenias.
But other flowers had your affections as well.
The room was ready and a table was placed, a chair on either sides. You took the one that had a view to the door and left the remaining one for the grandmaster. Purposelly doing so for the view, and sake of the well-kept garden.
It was a small but thoughtful detail.. Maybe ambitious?
You were never the type of person to show off the things in your pockets.
You sat down in the chair and prepared the documments that you wanted to present, in-case the meeting was successful and the idea of an arrange marriage was successful.
If the so-called "monster" was keen to your ideals or not.
You had a tea set on another table in the room in-case he was in the mood for a steaming cup of tea, many flavors and spices to keep it to his liking.
Your advisor went to encourage you.. The past meetings with other clan leaders were.. unsuccesful and awkward.
He had arrived.
But as you continued to gaze at the garden and the tea set somewhere along the room.. You decided that your idea was gonna take place first.
Bi-Han had arrived at the clan gates, Kuai Liang by his side.
Kuai Liang sighed seeing Bi-Han's confidence.
"I never imagined to see the day where you would try to conquer a woman's affections." Kuai Liang stared at Bi-Han who was gazing at the arquitecture of the place.
Bi-Han was unamused visibly by Kuai Liang's remark.
"Silence. It is for our good." Bi-Han's tone was composed, not meaning to hurt Kuai Liang.
Yet he re-directed his gaze to Kuai Liang with a nod.
"We shall enter. I am sure the grandmistress might be waiting for us." Bi-Han walked inside and Kuai Liang followed silently.
But Kuai Liang did not fail to notice the excitement laced in his tone, yet the raise in his eyebrows.
One of the clan members greeted them with a bow and leaded them to the meeting room..
And once Bi-Han opened the door...
You weren't there.
Kuai Liang and Bi-Han stepped inside in confusion. Was this the wrong room had they just entered?
The room seemed to be set up for a meeting and the scenery of the garden seemed appealing to the eyes.
They were in the according room.
Then they saw a figure, she entered the building with flowers on her hands, placing them with the spices sitting beside the multiple flavors of tea.
Her stance not faltering her resting face seemed unamused, to say the least.
There you were. You were grabbing the roses and jasmine flowers to give the tea flavors more variety.
It hurt your heart to cut off some of the bloomed delicacies, but for the sake of the meeting it was optimal.
You had to address them.. No time to slack.
You cleared your throat and turned to face the two masked men.
"Welcome.. I was not informed of an.. advisor." You said composed while re-directing your gaze to Kuai Liang. "Must we start?"
Kuai Liang bowed his head. "Grandmistress, you are mistaken. I am simply accompanying my brother." You nodded,
noticing of Bi-Han's lack of response and the penetrating stare he was pointing at you.
You stayed silent gazing at them for a few seconds then you gazed back at the tea.
"Tea? Most foreign flavors I have at my disposal." You said calmly as you looked for approval to prepare some tea.
Courtesy at it's finest. Tea was a great start.
"Pu'erh. With Mantao." Bi-Han said coldly, but composed. These were the only words he had said so far,
Meanwhile he stood beside Kuai Liang, who didn't seem to have much faith on Bi-Han.
"No, Thank you for the offer." Kuai Liang said gruffly yet friendly.
You nodded at their words, placing the boiling water into cups and starting to add the bags of tea.
You prepared some tea for yourself as well, Chamomille.. meant to calm your nerves in-case of any disagreement or anything that would stress you.
You brewed the tea and placed it on the table, placing the Pu'erh teacup with a spice of Mantao honey on Bi-Han's side of the table and your chamomille teacup on the side you were destined to sit.
Decent so far. A show of courtesy shown by your part.
"Please, sit down so we can begin." You say down calmly and composed. Your face showing calmness,
But a frigid composture that "can't" be cracked.
You gazed at Kuai Liang who was still standing.
"I apologise for the lack of seating. I was informed that this meeting would be entirely confidential." You let out a sigh at your words.
Kuai Liang hesitated.
"No need to apologise. I wasn't aware of my compa-" Kuai Liang was shut by Bi-Han's gaze.
Bi-Han had his mask on, so did Kuai Liang. But Kuai Liang knew that Bi-Han was scowling under the mask.
After all, Bi-Han had "convinced" him. In reality, obligated him. If not, Bi-Han would have dealt with this matter himself.
Bi-Han wanted none to know this.
He would be hysterical if his brother wasn't there to watch. He would ever not, admit that fact.
Bi-Han sat down, while Kuai Liang was standing awkwardly beside.
The yellow one's eyebrows were furrowed? No.. those were only the marks due to the constant frowning on his part. And Bi-Han seemed to have met the same predicament.
Bi-Han's eyebrows were relaxed. But his eyes, with a stern look were focused entirely on you, as if judging you. You started to speak, gazing back with a tone of admission. As if to show respect.
Shall it start.
"I am curious of the fact that a low-profiled clan seeks an alliance with one as mine." You crossed your arms over your chest. Bi-Han's gaze still piercing.
"The Lin Kuei especializes in stealth, force and commitment." Bi-Han didn't even acknowledge his tea.
The steam slowly fading away as the room's temperature went down by the minute.
You nodded at his words. He didn't mention power once. Most of the clan leaders mentioned how successful their clans were, yet the Lin Kuei were thriving with a health and development unlike any others and a humble response had surprised you.
"...It is great to hear. My advisor had informed me of the achievings of your clan." You drank the chamomille.. The soft yet strong flavor making you relax.
Meanwhile Bi-Han..
Bi-Han was feeling.. concerned. The Lin Kuei never had any sort of meetings like this in the past. His father had met his mother during a skirmish, saving her life and taking her in to the Lin Kuei.
As long as he knew, it was a tale that his mother used to tell him and his brothers to fall asleep.
"Foolish. That old man surely kidnapped and forced her against her will." Bi-Han's thoughts were always aggressive, to no surprise.
Yet Bi-Han stared at you as you spoke over the documents, speaking about possible benefits and the downfalls that could be caused.
He appreciated your determination for your duty.
It was rare to not see leaders slack off and live off their wealth. Yet you took that, threw it on the ground and set it on fire.
Your will was fascinating to Bi-Han. Even if he wouldn't show it. He kept his piercing stare.
You continued to speak, thinking that Bi-Han had absolutely no interest.
You kept your conversation. You seemed to be speaking alone as Bi-Han only gave back nods and barely spoken words. It unfuriated you yet it seemed to be progressing well.
"I am affirming that this agreement will not only bring power. Prosperity and humility are the most important aspect of a clan. Peace through framework is preferable than an endless chase of power."
You said calmly. Noticing how Bi-Han's gaze darkened.
He instantly furrowed his eyebrows.
"Power brings respect. More power no conflicts to being with." Bi-Han's tone was unintentionally harsher.
You narrowed your eyes.
"Power is not by any means a weapon. A word that exists on your mind to cause you ambition." You sighed.
"It is a true sense of strength that must be taken care off, carefully."
Bi-Han notably got more and more furious. It was obvious he was attempting to hold his composture in.
Kuai Liang seemed concerned too,
but knew nothing would calm his brother's rage.
It didn't stop Bi-Han.
"You work off weakness."
Bi-Han's true speech had risen up.
"Might alone will bring the 'humility' and 'prosperity' you seek. Only through wars and struggle." He continued.
"And if you are against violence then you are not fit to work with the Lin Kuei. Simple as that is."
Bi-Han spat out coldly. The disagreement had escalated.
You could barely keep your snarky remarks from your composture.
You had to end this.
"I am aware that the Lin Kuei work off might and power alone." You stood up abruptly.
Bi-Han's eyebrows both raised. It was a funny sight, to say the least.
"I was expecting a façade to get in my good side, grandmaster" You stared directly to in-between his eyebrows.
Your tone meant to show disappointment in the outcome of this meeting.
"Yet you have only shown your true colors."
Kuai Liang seemed panicked, looking at Bi-Han in a way to tell him to salvage this.
"This meeting is concluded. Leave."
You left to the gardens.. Passing by the red gardenias and letting out a grunt.
Even this garden was enough to fuel your anger.
You headed into the outsides of your clan..
In a way to soothe your nerves..
To the hidden forest glade within.
No distractions.
-🌺|❄
Bi-Han was distraught to say the least.
He had managed to ruin the chance to win the woman's affections and approval.
Now he had fully-lost the chance to gain it.
This could affect the Lin Kuei in a sort of way? If she decided to become an enemy.
Bi-Han simply stayed sat, he realized that he did not gaze even once at the cold tea in front of him.
He had been unintentionally having a lack of respect.
He hated this.
"Brother." Kuai Liang spoke after a minute of awkward silence. "If you don't go after her- You might lose your chance." Kuai Liang was nervous.
He had seen the entire disagreement pass by like a mannequin.. It hurt seeing how Bi-Han was messing it all over and not being able to intervene.
Bi-Han looked up at Kuai Liang.
"I suppose so." Bi-Han stared to the gardens, the multiple colored gardens with varieties he had not seen at the Lin Kuei..
A high-quantity of flowers that grow in gardens with higher temperature.
He had never seen a lotus flower. Only from the pictures his mother had shown him.
"Beautiful". He thought.
Bi-Han remembered the many topics his mother used to ramble about.
Flowers, especially.
He had acquired a great knowledge for gardening due to his mother's teaching.
He couldn't help but reminisce.
"Bi-Han, dear. Come here." Bi-Han heard his mother's voice call him out of the training with his brothers.
He would get scolded for leaving, but spending time with his mother was more important to him than anything.
"Come here." Bi-Han's mother took Bi-Han lithe form in his arms. She held a book and sat beside flowers on the well-tended to gardens in the snowy terrain that the Lin Kuei temple resided in.
Bi-Han was in for a long teaching.
"That, is a roseroot. Grows only in the highest of places. We occasionally place some of the leaves on our dishes." Bi-Han let himself root out a face of disgust and his mother chuckled. She stared lovingly to Bi-Han's interest.
She knew a break from his harsh training might do him well.
Bi-Han gazed at the droopy flowers close to his mother and then back at her.
"Oh? Those are Galanthus. Also known as Snowdrops, dear. You will see them all year, they surely love the snow."
Bi-Han paid attention to the entirety of his mother's teachings.
If Bi-Han couldn't admit it, he had such knowledge for such things as flowers. Which he would call "weak."
Now all he had left for the memory was his mother's flora research in the Lin Kuei's archives.
He would make usage of it one day.
He was sure of it.
Bi-Han was shook out of his memory and noticed Kuai Liang staring at him disapprovingly.
"Brother! You have to find her!" Kuai Liang seemed more desperate. Unusual due to his mastered patience at his brother's stubborness.
Bi-Han nodded and stood up. Running after the ominous clan leader.
He would make ammends.
It was for his clan after all.
You were sat in a tree trunk. The smokey gray sky still haunting your patience and you façade slowly dropping out. Your face in your hands.
Your hands felt like burning steel.
It hurt.
What did go wrong? You gave the up-most courtesy that you learnt over your entire life.
You knew respect was something primal, necessary for every lifetime interaction. Yet any fools that spoke to you were lacking of such formality.
Were you too cold? Maybe it could be cause.
He stared at you as if you were garbage,
A lifeless doll.
Like everyone else.
Your fury was undeniable.
As long as you kept it inside that locked heart, and no one tried opening to see the one memory hidden inside, it would maintain the peace you always kept.
You must not fracture.
This was only one of the many meetings that were to come.
This wouldn't let you down even once.
The rooted façade would not fall apart.
Yet you felt the icy presence behind you. You did not move an inch but his menacing aura was enough to sent a shiver down your spine.
Letting yourself bloom a sigh.
Your trail was left right open it seems,
He was here.
-❄|🌺
Bi-Han stared at the woman in front of him.
He knew that sneaking behind her while she tried to keep her emotional turmoil at bay would only cause her even more distress,
But he wouldn't be caught yet.
He only heard your voice besides the sounds of the harsh wind.
"Have you come here to taunt me? I am not emotionally available for yet another pointless debate." You said gruffly.
Fighting the tears that were trying to come out.
"No. I only wish to.. make ammends." Bi-Han said a bit hesitantly.
You stared up in confusion.
"Yet another scheme to make me fall. Your ways of treason are not affordable." You let out, meaning to bite.
Bi-Han sighed.
He knew he could not deal with an emotional woman that tried to hold her rage.
"There are other ways we can join together. Other than power." Bi-Han said quite lowly.
He wanted to make it clear.
"I wish the best for the Lin Kuei. And I have observed that you have the same ideal for your clan." You stared confused,
Not knowing where he was heading to in the conversation.
"I wish to make a change in the contract."
You nodded at his request. Raising your eyebrows.
"No marriage ceremony?" You said confidently, guessing that was his idea. He seemed uncomfortable at the idea of a wedding.
His shoulders tensed, he sighed.
"No. I want your clan to join the Lin Kuei. As a branch." You seemed more furious at that.
You could not take this lightly.
"I would not wish such fate to my clan. I blossomed day and night for such path." You said coldly.
Your emotions rising up once again.
"I am still offering the chair-man position. You and I will be equal. You will remain as a grandmistress." Bi-Han said,
His gaze looking at you with a convincing glint.
"I am not against the idea." Bi-Han sighed at your words. He had to knock some sense into you, but he would not yell.
You were a stubborn mess to deal with.
"So be it." The grandmaster said with a huff.
"To clear your stubborn soul that you possess, let's have a fight." Bi-Han stepped back and put himself into a ready'ed battle stance.
You had not put your self-defense abilities to the test in a long time. Approximately around last summer.
Yet you were confident. A good match, isolated?
No unwanted attention would be brought here.
Just what you wanted.
Bi-Han noticed by the determined glint on your gaze as you stood up from the trunk you previously turmoiled on.
You were ready.
And you were ready to blow off every steam you needed.
A mean of justice that would not be forgotten by him. A way to break the world and the law of your heart.
A broken heart once filled with tenderness.
Would that break his rule? Surely not. But it would be an amazing way to de-stress.
You were panting heavily, so was Bi-Han.
This spar quickly transformed into "who can break eachother's nose first." You weren't against the idea but the experience that Bi-Han had at hand-to-hand kombat was higher than yours.
You could tell he was going easy on you.
You hated it.
The trees shaked as a foul amount of punches were exchanged. Bi-Han covering his fits in ice to catch you more off guard.
You tried to not break your composture seeing that he was a cryomancer.
You could not hold back the scowl that you blossomed out of your face.
No way you're losing this.
You ducked and evaded most of his "pulled-punches". Though your emotions remained turmoiled, you mind was only on the battle. Even with the heavy drag of your heart.
Everything was dragged away by the wind.
Two souls connect as one only for such intense fight.
Their eyes connected and with that one glance..
It was finished.
You fell down to the ground exhausted.
Bi-Han offered his hand to help you stand up.
"I understimated you, woman." He said panting, with a barely noticeable tone of admiration.
You gazed up at him for a few seconds, narrowing your eyes as you took his hand to help you.
"I am glad we have made the ammends you wished. Yet, I am not convinced by your proposal."
You didn't want your clan to be disregarded as a branch inside the Lin Kuei.
"Then, we shall meet at dawn tomorrow. A meeting to the Lin Kuei temple will take place." Bi-Han said with his back turned to you.
"I will be waiting, grandmistress." Bi-Han said lowly but softly and left the glade.
"Very well..." You said hesitantly.
As for all that mattered... Nothing did.
Tomorrow you would see if everything was worth it, or to throw it away.
This Bi-Han had fished your attention. And you couldn't escape from it.
But it was enough.
As long as it helped you too..
You were more than happy to let your heart blossom for just that man.
Even if you were delusional enough.

Not the cliffhanger, but yeah.
This is too long for my liking.
(I'll try to upload this to AO3 as well..)

This took forever to write and any reblogs are appreciated! Feedback is also to be accepted, don't be shy :D
Thank you so much for reading :)

i feel like a kid running around with their drawing to show everyone else in the room bc i've already told like 2 other blogs about this scenario i had while i was trying to sleep but can you IMAGINE being a family friend of the sawyers? maybe your grandparents knew theirs before times were tough and cannibalism became their means of survival, and your family's died off and left you the little farmhouse and patch of land a few miles outside of the sawyers' boundaries. drayton's clarified you're off-limits (through some honorary family-friend ideals, or as not to upset grandpa 'cause your folks were always kind to them) and you're none the wiser to their true savagery they get up to (you can hear a scream once or twice, when you drive your dad's old beat up truck near their land sometimes, but you always think they've got really rowdy and funny sounding goats). but you've inherited your family's farmhouse and poor little you just doesn't know anything about farming and fixing up the house! no matter how hard you try, nothing grows, so one uneventful day you drop off some seeds as a gift for drayton since, well, they're not getting any use with you, and you mention a problem that needs fixing. maybe it's a rusty shed door you can't get open, or a busted roof. either way, drayton's always liked to keep up apparances and you haven't had a chance to meet the new additions of the family, so drayton sends johnny back with you (after giving him thorough lecturing about how no, you are NOT a potential victim, you're just a little oblivious, and plus johnny's the most... convincingly normal one out of all of them, arguably) to fix something up for you as thanks for the seeds. so now there's a sweaty, attractive, pretty charming (and maybe a little subtly condescending) guy fixing up something because you hadn't the slightest clue how to fix it, so you might as well make him some lemonade or tea and thank him! and, well, johnny might think you're amusing. pretty sweet, pretty cute, pretty *airheaded*. drayton said you were off-limits for anything violent, of course, but that didn't mean he couldn't test any other limits, right?
aaaah~ no bc wait I think you’re onto something here!! you got me thinking so many filthy thots rn, so I made a lil drabble, hope that’s okay w you? 😭❤️ sjdbdjdndnfnf I hope it’s written okay, I wrote this half asleep in bed but I couldn’t stop thinking abt it!
warnings — slight dub-con, light smut, Johnny being Johnny!
Tumblr media
“Here you go, Mr Johnny,” you smiled up the ladder toward him as you walked out with two glasses of lemonade in hand, “where’d ya want it?”
“Just set it down on the table there.” His voice was stern, a tad hint of annoyance laced into it, not that you noticed.
Johnny stood at the top of the ladder, nail in mouth as he hammered another into roof of your porch, closing off the gap which would hopefully stop the rattling noise anytime there was a gust of wind. He slipped the hammer and last few nails into his work belt before looking down at you stood below him, so innocently sipping through the curly straw in your lemonade glass.
The Texan heat wasn’t good for much, but the way it made a light coat of sweat glisten on your body as the sun began to set was enough to make him appreciate the summer weather. Your denim shorts just a little too high up and your white vest top just a little too low, but from where he was stood he got to have the perfect angle down your shirt, and you were none the wiser.
Johnny carefully came down the ladder before picking his glass up off the table, his eyes never once leaving your body. He couldn’t help but chuckle to himself, you really were oblivious, so innocent and air-headed that he wondered how you survived off by yourself all these years before coming back to the farmlands.
The way Drayton sent him out here with you alone, like sending a lamb off to the slaughter — an adorable, pretty little lamb making lemonade for a starving lion. Johnny wondered to himself what you’d think if you found out what they were really like, just how savage and dangerous they were, would you run scared from him, give him chase to hunt you down on acres of land?
“Sorry about you having to come out here, I’ve clearly got a lot to learn about all this type of stuff, huh?” You laughed as you gestured toward the house and the land surrounding it.
Johnny was snapped from his thoughts, a fake little smile crossing his face as he nodded, “don’t sweat it, darlin’, friends helping out friends, ain’t that right?”
He knew that Drayton said you weren’t to be a victim, that you weren’t some prey to be chased and hunted down, butchered just for the hell of it, but what about anything else? After all, this was Drayton’s way of saying thanks to you, but what did Johnny get out of this? Where was his thank you for fixing up your roof free of charge? If you weren’t going to be Johnny’s victim then he’d sure as hell find away for you to give him thanks.
“Say,” he placed his half empty glass down on the table beside him, “you moved back up here all alone, not got a boyfriend following you here?”
“Oh, heh, no. Haven’t had one of those in a long while, Mr Johnny.”
“Huh, well that’s just peachy, darlin’.”
He walked from the table and closer to you, his hand stroking up and down your arm as he worked his way behind you, his warm body pressing up against yours as he leaned down to your ear, “how about a thank you for all my hard work, hm?”
His hand snaked its way around your waist and played with the button of your shorts, his lips grazing across the delicate skin of your neck, gently kisses to distract you from what his hands were doing. Truth be told you didn’t want him to stop, and he could tell. The way you let him unbutton your pants without a fight, his fingers working their way between your legs and tracing a line back and forth against your clothed cunt.
“Mr Johnny, I don’t think—”
“That’s alright, baby, you don’t gotta think,” his free hand wrapped around your throat, tilting your head to the side so he could more easily bite and suck at your skin, “just gotta do whatever I tell you to do.”
After all, Drayton said you couldn’t be slaughtered like he did the others, but he didn’t say anything about Johnny not being able to fuck you til’ you couldn’t walk no more.

I'm not sure if anybody pointed this out already because I haven't been lurking in the ML fandom enough to keep up with discussions but I was just thinking about Gabriel and his villain design throughout the seasons (you know, as one does) and I've noticed how good of a visual parallelism his appearance as a villain has been to how he slowly but steadily lost his way as time went on.
I mean.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The more time passed, the less recognizable he became, didn't he?
In the first design, between the true colour of his skin showing and his face structure still clear and somewhat recognizable (recognizable enough that when the first season was airing and we didn't know his identity most of the fandom was sure that he was Gabriel Agreste) he's still undeniably Gabriel, even under the mask. He's evil and he's basically a terrorist, yes, but he's still doing what he's doing for his family. Kind of. His treatment of Adrien, in this stage, is still somewhat abusive in many aspects but he has some Moments (those rare Good Father Moments™ that he mentioned in the finale).
In the second stage, he's still himself, and nothing much changed beyond the monocle and the edgier suit. Sure, he gives off the impression that maybe he might not be doing all of that just for his wife, but he's sane enough and he still seems to care a bit for Adrien (as long as he doesn't know he's his arch nemesis, superhero of Paris and notorious pain in the neck Chat Noir).
The third stage is brief, and starts right after he steals all the Miraculous from Ladybug. It's obvious at this point that a) he's a lot more ambitious, and also more desperate, and b) he definitely isn't doing this for his wife, and surely not for his son. His skin is inhuman, and his eyes look uncanny; you can still see his grey hair, though, in the same hairstyle he keeps it in as a civilian. He's still there, for now!
However, the interesting part of this is that his design immediately changes at one specific point in the series: when he decides to run after Ladybug instead of using the Rabbit Miraculous to fix his mistakes in a easy, casualty-free way.
At this point, it's obvious that the thought of the wish consumed him so much that he's become obsessed with it. He decided to put it above Natalie's life, above Adrien's freedom and wellbeing. While he never dared to akumatize his own son before, to the point of retracting his butterfly as soon as he noticed that it was Adrien who was upset, and not just some random civilian, from this moment on it stops being his concern. He's ready to do whatever it takes to have his way, no matter the cost. He stops being Gabriel. Now, he's just Monarch.

Jungkook:
𝐄𝐯𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Intro
Tumblr media
Every year, he joins the old tradition of traveling, where his ancestors have once ruled the skies. Every year, he meets familiar faces and new ones he's never seen before. Every year, he watches how his brothers find their mates, build their families, and introduce new generations to stories as old as time. But this year, something might be different. This year, there's you - a treasure worth more than he could ever offer.
Tags/Warnings: Dragon!Jungkook, strangers to lovers/mates, mentions of folklore and traditions, modern fantasy, romance, human?Reader, Fluff, Courting, MC kinda wary of kook at first, but he's cute give him a chance pls
Length: ~2k
-> Masterlist
Tumblr media
"Look at you! All the new color suits you well!" Seokjin laughs, commenting on Jungkook's tattoos which had been changing over the course of the year since he's seen his friends last festival. The younger dragon simply shrugs, though he can't help but stand a bit more proudly at the comment, considering that his body ink is a visual representation of his identity within the Clan up to this point.
It's all part of the tradition after all; as soon as a dragonkin turns 21 years old, they're considered an adult, officially on their own and ready to build their own families and futures, and while not all do it, he likes to wear his identity openly like this.
Even though in the modern world, his dragon blood isn't seen as something to be proud of anymore. In fact, it's treated as nothing more than a simple remnant of lost times, outdated and no longer of any importance.
It's why most members of the dragon bloodlines tend to stay amongst each other, most of their social circles consisting of other dragons, just like he himself tends to do. A lot of his friends have been finding their mates recently, and while Jungkook is happy about that, he himself isn't really interested in that- at least not right now. He's doing good all by himself at the moment, so he doesn't really see the need to settle down right now. He's also not yet found anybody he'd really honestly see himself wanting to settle down with- so for now, he just attends the traditional festivals every year to reconnect with his friends and family, let himself go for a little while and leave all those expectations of the modern world behind for at least a small amount of time.
"Are the rest here too?" Jungkook asks Jin as they both walk into the Hotel close to the festival spaces, many already setting up their tents and booths for tonight.
"Taehyung is coming a bit later, he said the whole trip is taking a bit longer now that his mate's pregnant." He says, making Jungkook nod next to him, greeting some elders along the way. "she's not even properly showing, yet he's already all scrambled up in the head." He jokes.
"I've heard about that! Yoongi owes me a hundred bucks now." He laughs, remembering the bet he'd made with the older dragon last year when Taehyung had announced his engagement to his mate. He'd always dreamed of a big family- so it wasn't surprising to Jungkook that his friend already had the first child on the way.
Maybe one day he'll have his own, too.
"I remember when Yoongi of all people attended the hunt and actually caught his mate too!" Seokjin laughs. "Remember that? It was honestly hilarious to see him so desperate. The old slow guy all out on the fields." He teases, as the man in question walks into view.
"At least I've caught something. Not like mister forever virgin over here." He teases, laughing when Jungkook growls offended, mumbling something about that 'not being true at all hyung.!' Under his breath as the older one walks alongside them.
It's when a giggle catches him off guard, the sound accompanied by what he can only describe as a small bell faintly in the background.
When he looks for the source of the sound, he finds your eyes pretty quickly- gaze hauntingly beautiful as he doesn't even realize he'd just stopped walking for no reason, one of his friends bumping into him the only cause of distraction for him. And for a second, he looks away, only a small but of time - and suddenly you're no longer there, disappearing as quickly as you've appeared in the first place. "Who was that?" He asks no one in particular, Yoongi shrugging as he tries to find what his friend seems to be looking for.
"Who was who?" He asks, before everyone walks away with him to greet Taehyung and his partner who'd just arrived.

He spots you again as you tie your hair up, elastic in between your lips where you hold it while your hands collect all your hair. It's a normal thing he's seen a lot of people do- himself included, considering the length of his hair these days- and yet when you do it, it looks like Aphrodite captured in marble, details enchanting and intricate.
He almost feels like he shouldn't watch.
And yet he does, even continues to look your way with his hand around his glass of water, small leftovers of his meal completely uninteresting compared to the sight of you walking closer to the older women to help with washing clothes and other things in the riverbed. He can spot Jimin and other male dragons between them as well, and he wonders if you enjoy those tasks.
During this time of the year, everyone is pulled back to the old ways of living. From using almost no electricity to trading things instead of buying it with money, things work simply differently during these next few days, and he personally enjoys this more simpler way of living to the fullest. There's no space for boredom or anything like that- always something to do for him, never an empty second.
Even now, as he watches you.
For a while, you seem to not notice him until one of the women taps your shoulder, talking to you for a few words before you turn your head to meet his eyes. Surprise is written over your features, especially when he boldly pats the spot next to him at the table, silently inviting you to sit with him, maybe even share a meal.
You wonder a little. Does he know that offering a meal is one part of courting a fellow dragon?
He probably does, considering his appearance. He does look like you'd expect a modern dragon to carry himself; from the wyvern tooth necklace around his neck, the colored tattoos under his skin, even the challenging fire behind his eyes. He surely knows his heritage, which makes it even more odd to you.
Though you wouldn't ever pass the chance of getting to know someone like him.
He's well known in the community of female dragons- mostly for his lack of interest in anybody when it comes to actually finding a mate. For a long time, there's been a rumor going around that he wasn't simply interested in females in general- but that was quickly debunked after it got known that he does, in fact, seek out pleasure without any long-term relationship in mind. It makes you wary of his intentions right now though-
Because that's not what you're seeking here, or at all.
You sit down across from him at the table, having dried your hands before joining him, his eyes friendly as they watch you, someone already next to you asking what you'd like to eat. As soon as that person leaves, it's Jungkook's turn to talk to you. "I've never seen you around here before." He tells you, arms now on the table as he's got them crossed in front of him. "I'm Jungkook."
"I know." You nod. "Both of those things." You shrug, looking around for a moment before you spare him another look. "I'm not interested."
"I haven't even proposed anything." He counters, head tilted a bit as he's internally confused as to what you might've heard about him that could make you so wary of his intentions. In his world, he's not done anything questionable, ever- he doesn't fuck around, never broke somebody's heart, is always pretty clear and honest with whomever he crosses paths.
"But I know what guys like you want." You simply say, thanking the young dragon who puts your plate down in front of you. "And I'm not offering that." You tell him without looking, simply starting to eat instead.
"What do I want then?" He asks, moving one of his arms so his chin can rest on his palm. "You got me curious."
"Sex." You bluntly tell him, reaching for the large water pitcher standing somewhat closer to Jungkook than to you- something he instantly notices, lifting it for you instead to fill your cup. "Thanks." You offer quietly, and he nods at that, putting it back down.
"Interesting." He just shrugs after he sits back down in front of you. "That's not what I want though. I mean- you're attractive, don't get me wrong- but I'd like to get to know you first, if anything." He proposes, and you narrow your eyes at him.
"That sounds like you're aiming for my heart." You accuse, pointing your steak-knife at him. "And that's even worse." You say, making him laugh.
"No, I promise. I really just.. think you're really pretty, and from what I can tell, you're also exactly my type- but if you want me to leave you alone, I can totally do that too." He offers politely, and you chew on your food in thought before you rest your cheek on your palm, poking at some vegetables.
"How am I your type?" You ask him, curious to know what makes you stand out to him. It must be something at least- because if he's never wanted a relationship with anybody before why pursue someone as boring as you for that role of all things? You know you're a good friend, but a girlfriend? No, you're lame, and you've come to accept that after all those failed relationships.
Your question makes him light up visually, as he sits up straighter with a bit of a smile on his lips. "It's hard to explain. You're cute, but I like people who have their own mind." He shrugs, explaining his view on you while you don't look at him. "Visually, you check all my boxes. If your character does the same thing, I guess we just have to find out." He tells you, and you look at him now.
"What if you don't check any of my boxes?" You ask him, looking for how he's going to react. "You're too tall for me, for example. And your muscles scare me a little." You jab at him, cutting your food as if you're talking about the weather. "You seem like someone obsessed with working out. I'm not. In fact, I don't ever really work out. I don't really look at what I eat in general, to be honest."
"That's fine by me." He simply answers when you stop talking. "I don't really watch it that much either- only if I have a shooting or something alike." He explains, making you nod quietly. "But if I don't check any of your boxes, like you say, why come over and sit with me then?" He teases, leaning in over the table a little bit.
You shrug. "Your tattoos." You simply tell him. "They're pretty good. Who made these?" You ask, and he looks at them for a second, before he moves his gaze back to you.
"Min Yoongi back in Seoul did most of them. He specializes in dragon tattoos." He explains, and you nod at that.
"I thought I remembered the artstyle." You say. "He's always been very neat with his work." You mumble more or less, before you sigh, putting your cutlery onto your empty plate, pulling your glass of water closer. "Alright- do you want my number now, or.?" You ask, suspecting that he would maybe ask you on a date or something after the whole festival is over. But he genuinely surprises you, when his eyes narrow in a challenging manner, the dragon peeking through in a way as he leans forward over the table, standing up.
You're wary- and he assumes it might be because you've never truly experienced anything good when it comes to finding partners. He can relate to this; and he can also gain power from that simple fact, simply because now more than ever, he wants to prove himself to you. He wants to show you that he truly is different from what you might believe.
"I'll just win you over, easy." He tells you, promises almost, as he pulls the wyvern tooth from around his neck, and leaves it close to your hand- an offering of sorts, a first step at trying to impress you, even if small. "The traditional way." He finishes up, leaving you alone at the table, simply watching as he walks away and merges with the crowd.
Maybe you've underestimated him.
Maybe he's not who you think he is.
Maybe you've finally found your match.

"What the hell did you just do?"
Part 2 of whatever. Continuing on with Tadfield Manor scenes, we get to the infamous "Wall" scene. I know it has been analyzed by many so far, but that's never stopped people in the world of literary analysis from spewing their own thoughts on well-reviewed texts. Also, I just want to.
Okay, so once they enter the manor building and see the management training branding, Crowley decides to "help out" and make all of the paintball guns into real machine guns. He snaps his fingers and points double finger guns at the passing "soldier".
Tumblr media
Aziraphale is dumbfounded. "What the hell did you just do?
Such language, Angel! And no physical reaction to it like Crowley did when he said "Heaven's sake" in E6. Huh.
Crowley, meanwhile, is thoroughly pleased with himself. They want to battle? He's happy to oblige.
This plus the scare in the courtyard lets us see Crowley enjoying the few perks of being a demon. It's fucking adorable.
Aziraphale cannot comprehend how Crowley - who just miracled a stain away on his coat because it bothered him - could do something so thoroughly evil. And with a jaunty step!
If Aziraphale had pearls, he'd be clutching them so hard.
To which Crowley takes the opportunity to once again point out the flawed binary system of morality. We the audience will see this argument again in the Body Snatcher minisode, so it's fun to see how these two keep having the same old debates throughout time just with different causes with which to start from.
Tumblr media
Pointing out hypocrisy while slinking down a hall? Crowley, you delicious tramp.
Aziraphale is still thoroughly horrified, but Crowley concedes with a sigh that everyone will, in fact, be fine. To me, his tone is a mix of disappointment at him not being quite as much of a bastard as he paints himself. He can't really hide his true self from Aziraphale.
Tumblr media
I love how he can't stop moving his body. Snakes gonna slither.
Then here is it. The big moment. Smug little Aziraphale feels the need to mention how nice Crowley is underneath his demonic persona.
Tumblr media
We now know that this is a reoccurring exchange, where Crowley must defend his title of Big Bad Demon in front of Azi's kind compliments. There's serious consequences to Crowley being labeled "nice" and Azi knows this by now. So why does he keep bringing it up? To provoke Crowley? To finally break him into admitting Azi is right? It's not like Azi can protect Crowley from Hell's wrath, but he pushes anyway.
I thought Crowley was the shit-stirrer in this relationship.
And now my favorite part. Sister Mary shows up and rightly implies these two are about to nail each other through the drywall. But when she recognizes Crowley, he stops her in her tracks.
The sass! It's off the fucking chart! Only an Angel could withstand such a display!
Aziraphale just straightens his clothes and lets the sass go unchallenged because he's still has a bit of self-preservation instincts left.
So I already talked about the "Luck of the devil" line from Aziraphale here, but it truly is a fun moment in the context of the whole scene. Crowley is worked up from the "nice" comment and Aziraphale's seeming refusal to stop analyzing him.
Tumblr media
Horny Aziraphale is sassy and Crowley looks like he wants to bite through a door frame.
So, obviously, I've spent way too much time rewatching these scenes, but I do find it so interesting how we see so much of their relationship on display within just a few minutes. The different personality traits to draw them together while also pushing them apart.
The way Aziraphale knows how to work Crowley, who in turns knows how to indulge appropriately. (*cough* bullet catch *cough*)
The way Crowley happily taps into his demonic toolbox to spread a bit of chaos without actually causing serious harm. (*cough* Job *cough*)
The way Aziraphale reflexively tows the party line of Heaven even in the face of Crowley's demonstrations of humanity's instincts. (*cough* all of time *cough*)
And basically the way they bring out the best (and sometimes worst) of each other. Some might say they're a team. Or a group. A group of the two of them.

Hey!!!! Hope you doin ok.
I was wondering if you could write headcanons for the yandere senpai where he gets jealous of all the time you are spending with you’re friend and not him
Thanks for the attention and have a great weak!!!
Is this referring to my old post? [🌧️😤♥️] This one? Because if so then HELL YES!! (but also, if it isn't I'm sorry, I would totally be down to write about a more sweet senpai, cause this guy is mean-)
My favorite flavor is "the senpai actually does like the mc", thank you for requesting this. Have a great week too, boo! I hope you'll enjoy the newest menu addition, Opera Cake! I'll make a profile for him later on X'D
TW/Tags: He can be a bit of a jerk, be patient with him // delusional/in denial // anger issues // light cursing because the author has an dirty vocabulary // bad communication (from you and him lmao) // dangerous jealousy // mentions of stalking // very controlling // sorry for the long ass wait
🍭꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡🍮꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡🍰꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖♡🍮꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖🍭
Bitter Coffee [Yandere-Tsundere!Male!Senpai! x GN!Reader - Headcanon]:
🎇 Let me set the stage for a quick sec! 🎇
(This is not a continuation nor a prequel, but it does involve the same idea of the post I've mentioned before, which by the way, is old and has some cringey text!)
Christopher was many things, including socially unaware, or at least socially awkward. Yes, the guy was smart, handsome and that edgy grumpy aesthetic could be pretty charming- He looked like a half-dead, lanky librarian with a bad eyesight and that was probably why a lot of people flocked to him.
The man wasn't goth, but he was gothic, ya know? The man was built like a tree and somehow, people just seemed really interested in him! He never really understood why, he just wants to be left alone!! Please!!
He hates having people surround him constantly and talking way too loud, way too close to his face all the time- Seriously, they won't get a kiss doing that? (Which by the way, ew?! Ew. Is what he would think).
He is a very distant person, and he seems to purposefully push people away from him, but he tends to not do that with you- Most of the time.
You were a stalker, it was quite simple, even if he DID make an effort you would still follow him, wouldn't you?!
You were annoying, frankly he knew all about your… "Admiration". Seriously, you're not being sneaky, sugar cube. You were more persistent than the other ones, which was probably how you managed to weasel your way into his life.
… No, that's not true, although he is as friendly as a cactus to everyone including you, he really appreciates your company. You weren't really all that bad at all, but you had a way to make him frustrated that he didn't know how to describe.
So when he sees you avoiding him recently he feels like you're just trying way too hard to make him worried for you- Frankly, he thinks your game of cold-shoulder is dumb and should stop right now!-
Chris didn't think you were doing it on purpose at first, well, to be honest at first he was glad to have his own space for a few days! Especially since he was already busy studying, he could be a smart person but he studying was a focusing nightmare to him-
Then later, after the test week, you still seemed very distant… He thought you were finally focusing on your education like you always complained about, hell, he even came to you one day and told you how proud he was! Even inviting you to study in his house!! He never does that!
Oh… But you didn't understand why he was so happy, and he didn't understand why you rejected his offer… He was wrong on his assumption, then? Or did you really not want to spend time with him?
"As expected, I don't even know why I assumed you would be studying, let me guess- You were too focused on another random piece of media this week? Do I know it? We could talk about it on the way out, like always right?" He wasn't the best with words, and neither with his tone. Yet he was genuinely expecting you to talk to him about it, like you always do!... You didn't. You answered in a hurry and scurried away.
Maybe you were just in a hurry, maybe if he was lucky he'll be able to catch you to walk with him home.
You didn't, but worse than not finding you was seeing you walking around with one of your so-called friends. Mylo, was it? Well, it could be worse… Annie was a LOT more annoying to deal with.
Always so possessive of you, it didn't seem like a healthy friendship at all yet you never took his words seriously… Always so protective of you, as if a leaf couldn't fall on your head that you just break under pressure! [Y/n] is their own individual, ANNIE!!
Says the mf following you two-
Mylo was a lot less direct about his discomfort regarding your crush, well… Your friend had his own motives, and of course he would NEVER do anything to hurt his best friend! But he couldn't bring himself to be mean towards Christopher, maybe he just simply couldn't be mean to anyone perhaps…
So interactions between these two were often civil, polite, yet very not pleasant. Chris never understood how you could be friends with those two, they were clearly obsessed with you.
Wait… was.. Was that why you haven't been able to spend time with him at all?! Because of GODDAMN MYLO?!
"HEY!!" He yelled out as he made his previously hidden presence known, acting as if he just came close to you know and that he hasn't been following you two for a long time now-
Despite your clear confusion since technically the route is fairly different from the one you usually take to go home- He brushed it off by simply placing his right arm above your shoulders and around your neck, being in the middle between you and Mylo.
Who, by the way, noticed it but didn't even try to change the situation.
"Ah, I missed walking around like this! [Y/n], why didn't you tell me you were going this way before? I was planning on going to that ice cream shop you always told me about- Where have you been lately, by the way?"
He is very not subtle about this, he is trying but he can't lie about how his true intentions here is trying to deviate you from walking with your friend. Oh, you were going to his home to play games? So he'll come too, obviously, and if Mylo doesn't want that then too bad! Guess Game Friday will have to be another day!!
Oh… Mylo doesn't… think it's a bad idea to have you two over… That wasn't really the plan, especially since Chris doesn't like to be in someone's house that he doesn't know well enough.
".....ffffffFINE!! Great even!!" He was fuming, it was very obvious how displeased he was with the situation, but he would be damned if he backed down now!
→ Christopher Hill:
He is a dumb-dumb, he'll take a long time to realize he is jealous and then proceed to do everything in his power to make it everyone else's problem.
He doesn't even know he likes you so much, or that all the bad things he says about your friends could be attributed to him.
He finds them possessive and obsessed with you, but he goes out of his way to insert himself on your little "friend hangout" even if it pains him to no end. In this scenario, I mentioned Mylo who isn't very confrontational, and actually is very interested in hanging out with your crush (he is very curious about why you like this twig of a human being so much… maybe he understands it a little bit…).
Annie is almost the complete opposite, she finds Chris's game of cat and mouse with you really unhealthy and wishes you could fall out of love for this guy already- I-It isn't love!! It's just a stupid crush on a stupid guy that never treats you how you deserve to be treated! Annie is very likely to start arguing with Chris over the smallest of things (but never addressing the actual issue in your presence, you don't need to see them at their worst like that…).
Christopher is very awkward with his words, and part of him knows he'll end up losing you for his own condescending tone and overly grumpy attitude- So he doubles down on his bad traits to try to protect himself from the inevitable. But the other part of him thinks you're just playing around, trying to provoke these reactions out of him on purpose, trying to make him jealous because you're so obsessed with him you want to see him be in your shoes for once, is that it?!
Sugar cube, you have NO idea how aggravating it is to suddenly not be in your spotlight, to be ignored without a warning. And for what- Your weird friends?! Oh it just brings out the worst in him.
In the case he gets to spend time with you even in your friend's presence (I'll use the previous scenario for example) he'll be attached to you like a bug, all those previous annoyances with your sudden touch seem to jump out of his mind- He becomes very clingy especially since your friends are very touchy.
Game Friday Night won't be the same with him there, and that goes to every other special friend time you guys may have- He isn't subtle, he doesn't know how to, but he does know how to make you feel guilty. You haven't talked with him in so long! What were you thinking?!
But of course, he won't be AS obvious about it as he doesn't mean to put the blame entirely at you, because it's not your fault, right? It's Mylo's fault, and Chris just needs to get back to the previous schedule-
Where it should be just you and him, the two dummies in their "will they won't they" FRIENDSHIP!! He just needs to take their place, you want game nights? Why not play with him in his house? His bedroom is a lot bigger than yours and Mylo's combined- But if luxury isn't the problem then maybe you'll appreciate the variety of things you two can play.
If he finds your friendships to be really taking a toll on your life (if you continue to ignore him) he might have to turn his offers from demands to orders, sugar cube! Of course he would never do anything to hurt you, but he is literally doing this for your own good, and if you continue to be so childish he might think you've been completely influenced by your friends.
Christopher is a lot more demanding and controlling than the other characters, not above being brutish with you if it means you'll actually listen to him for once! The initially petty, stubborn jealous man can turn into a controlling, raging angst if you don't be careful enough.

Dear God,...
Yandere Story/Scenario
Part 1 (here) Part 2
Summary: The darling is trying to escape from their yandere boyfriend's and is currently being chased through the woods.
Warnings: Violence, chasing, escape attempt, obsessive behavior, toxic relationship, (sorta) yandere harem, wounds, mentions of emotional abuse.
Note: This is from the darlings perspective, let me know (if anyone reads/likes this) if you want a second part or the boyfriend's perspective. Please give me feedback, this is my first publish on here. :)
Have fun reading.
Tumblr media
Darlings POV:
I just ran.
I'm still running.
...
As I'm running, I'm already out of breath. Everything passes by me in a blur. I cant feel my legs. Hell. I cant feel anything.
My mind is too clouded with adrenaline and fear to care about all the scratches and wounds I've collected on my escape so far. I keep tripping, but I stand up on weak, wobbly legs, forcing myself to keep running. To keep going. My whole body is aching, as every fiber of my body is begging me to stop running and take rest. To just lay against the next tree, or even on the dirty floor.
I wish to just stop.
I wish to just collapse on floor and be swallowed whole by it. Not having to worry about anything..., not having to worry about th-
Suddenly my mind goes blank.
as I'm, what feels like being thrown to the floor- I got knocked off my feet mid run. The air gets knocked out of me. Everything happens in a blur and time seems to stop. The only thing I can feel for a moment is my heart stopping.
Only for a split second- I'm outside of my body.
Only for a split second- I'm not myself.
'How I wish that was true'.
The next thing I know is- I'm on the floor, trying to gather my senses. My adrenaline rush seems to wear off. I can hear again, but it's not pleasant, I can hear ragged- enraged breathing.
My heart beats faster, my fear growing as I realize...
He-.... I cut myself off. No... I know better.
They caught me. I feel dread starting to consume me at the thought. Too scared to confirm, I just lay there.
I can suddenly feel every single wound ; every single scratch on my body. All the hasty running and panicked tripping wore me out. As if that wasn't enough, my mind plagues me with horrid thoughts. 'I don't want to be proven right, not this time dear god. I beg you' My mind screams. I know.., the moment I open my eyes.
I will see those eyes. Those eyes I learned to fear. Those eyes I was supposed to obey.
Their eyes.
I can feel them on me. So many pairs of eyes. Roaming my face.. my body, longing to get a look into my deepest thoughts. I know they are waiting-
They want to search my eyes for regret, remorse, anything to stop them.I can feel their enraged stares, accompanied by their breathing. 'Danger' my subconsciousness screams.
I had learned to respect them. I crossed the line before, I tried to run. They've  never hurt me.. 'Physically' my subconsciousness reminds me. 'But this time...I've gone too far', even I realize that. But it's too late.
They want my regret, they want me to beg ; but I can't get myself to regret my decision right now. And my pride still stops me from begging for forgiveness. So I fear what will happen to me when I open my eyes. As much as I wished that I could, I can't lay here forever. I know their patience is growing thinner by the second. I fear I will anger them so much, they won't forgive me this time.
For the first time I fear for my well-being in their presence. I fear...
for my life.
So I take one last shaky breath, stopping my seemingly endless train of thoughts and open my eyes. I immediately wish I didn't. What I'm seeing... I wouldn't have been able to imagine.
'gruesome-'
My thoughts immediately get cut off as he raises his voice to speak. I think at this point, I'm as pale as a corpse. I can hear him trying to suppress the rage in his voice as he says ; a little too sweetly...
"Tag you're it, sweetheart.. "

Elbert vs Ellis
Event Story
Part 2
* The translation are not guaranteed to be entirely accurate, so expected some errors
Tumblr media
I finished making chocolate. I am about to start working on a report on the incident last night.
I've gotten used to the work of a fairy tale writer, and lately I've been able to move forward with my work without worrying.
Today I was worried about a different things.
Elbert: "Kate…let us write the report."
Kate: "But this is my job."
Ellis: "If that's the case, we won't be able to serve you, Kate-san."
"Kate-san, please rest."
Elbert-sama and Ellis-kun are sitting across a typewriter that had been brought in before i knew it.
Elbert: "Last night's mission was to investigate and destroy the secret organization. Is it Will and Harrison?"
Elbert's beautiful fingertips are typing as it touches on it.
Tumblr media
Elbert: "...? ....??"
Kate: "Lord Elbert?"
Elbert: "..I’m sorry. I haven’t touched on it much."
Mr. Elbert, who is troubled by lowering his eyes. It's so adorable that I can't help but smile.
Kate: "Hehe, it's difficult right? I'll get used to it too. It was difficult until now."
Ellis: "El, can I try it?"
Ellis touches the typewriter and move quickly, not to mention it hit accurately.
Kate: "That's amazing...have you ever touched it?"
Ellis: "Jude's company also has a typewriter.That’s where I create documents from time to time."
"There are a lot of work that requires physical movement."
(As expected of a talented assistant at a trading company.)
Elbert: "Ah,.... here"
"It might be easier to understand if you write it in chronological order. For example..."
This time Elbert is concise and easy to understand. It will make the sentences easier to read.
(I see. Mr. Elbert is a nobleman.They govern the territory and manage assets.)
I'm sure there will be many opportunities to explain it to others.That's probably why it was cultivated.
(Both of them are amazing, it looks like it's almost finished)
(Hmm... Even though I'm having so much fun, Is it alright?)
As I was having a happy conflict, a deep voice came from above my head.
Jude: "Ah? What, you made the two men serve too? you have ego status."
Alfons: "A future where Kate controls the crown, it might not be that far away.”
Tumblr media
Ellis and Elbert:
"Ah, Jude"
"....Al"
Ellis: "Right now, I'm serving Kate-san."
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jude: "You look like you're going to enjoy being laid on a woman's butt. That's quite a hobby."
Alfons: "Is Elle also enjoying being laid on Kate's ass,Is that true?"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Elbert: "...? I wonder if that's true?"
(I can't keep up with the rush!)
Ellis: "Ah, that's right. What kind of service would make Jude happy?"
Jude: "That's already decided. If you go ahead and finish the work before I give you any instructions, I'll be crying with joy."
Ellis: "I do it sometimes, but you're happy when you cry, I've never seen that before..."
Jude: "Be more careful."
Elbert: "...What about Al?"
Alfons: "Of course, there are things you can’t say during the day, and services like this..."
Kate: "Alfons-san!"
Alfons: "Yes, yes, I understand. You want to use it as a reference for your next action, right?"
"When it comes to service, I think it’s one-"
Elbert: "... Kate, does it feels good?"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ellis: "You look like you’re feeling good.…So cute."
Kate: "Sure, it feels good, but..."
The next "service" that Alfons suggested was to give me a massage.
Mr. Elbert does the shoulders, and Mr. Ellis does the legs.
(I feel sorry and I asked them to stop. But they wouldn't back down no matter what)
(This feels good...)
Just sitting there makes me feel like I'm going to heaven.
Kate: "Hmm,ah..."
Tumblr media
Elbert & Ellis: "...Eh?"
Kate: "Ah, I'm sorry. I was so excited that I made a strange sound..."
Elbert: "...I don't care.Let me hear a more cute voice."
Ellis: "Yes, I also like Kate-san’s cute voice.I want to hear it."
Elbert & Ellis: "Which felt better right now... ?"
In Elbert-sama's eyes, are they at the bottom of the deep sea? A feeling of greed creeps up,/
In Elbert-sama's eyes, are they at the bottom of the deep sea? The greed that seems to be creeping up is miserable,
There is a thick heat in Eris-kun's eyes that seems to bind his mind and body like thorny ivy.
Elbert & Ellis:
"...Kate"
"Kate-san"
Kate: "Ah...h-hmm..."
A massage to get rid of all your daily fatigue. After that,
Elbert-sama brought me tea, and Ellis-kun prepared tea sweets.
(It felt good and I'm very happy,i feel like it...)
(If you continue to be served by these two people...I feel like it's going to get worse)
(-Ah)
Kate: "Um, I have a request."
Tumblr media
Elbert & Ellis:
"...what?"
"What’s wrong?"
Kate: "I was about to run out of ink ribbon. Thank you very much for joining me in this funny thing."
I asked the two of them to take care of the cargo, and we walked side by side through the lively town.
(I was trying to change the atmosphere even a little,It was a simple suggestion, but I'm glad I went out with it.)
As proof of this, the city is crowded with Valentine's Day. The two of them look like they're having fun walking around.
Elbert: "....Every store is busy."
Ellis: "Hehe, I feel like it does getting more powerful every year."
The shop windows lining the street are cute decorated and pleasing to the eye.
-Although it was supposed to be the same, everyone who passed by was fascinated by Elbert-sama and Ellis-kun.
(I'm used to it, but it's quite noticeable when the two of them are together.
Elbert: "Kate, aren’t you hungry?"
Ellis: "Aren't your legs tired?"
Kate: "Hehe, it's okay. Thank you very much for your concern."
"However, since we're here, we should eat something.Shall we go?"
(Ah, that's right)
"There’s a shop on the corner over there, and Liam says they have some rare tea in front-"
While walking,the two of them goes ahead to guide me to the store.
Man walking down the street: "Oh, hey! Isn't that carriage running out of control !?"
Dress women: "Kyaa! Run away quickly!"
(-eh)
The little man who was walking right next to me,a runaway carriage was heading towards the child-
Elbert & Ellis: "......Huh?"

Tumblr media
this as a prime example of what is wrong with simblr (and tumblr in general). this ask was sent to me within like less than a day of that post about cf going up, while I was away for the weekend and not at pc for days. I did not even see the post until right before I got this ask. yall are so damn terminally online that you lost the gd plot and cannot comprehend someone not keeping their finger on the dying pulse of the performative activism headquarters of the internet. and you definitely can't comprehend waiting for complete info or maybe just a full day before starting some reactionary bs. just peeking in here since yesterday i see that simblr is yet again so hyped up on smelling its own farts that it's turned an issue of genocide into yet another dick measuring contest of who can reblog more posts than one another the fastest so they can look more empathetic and better than anyone else. and call themselves "real activists" for being able to click the reblog button. not to mention the usual spamming anons to random people minding their own business. yall are weird as fuck and need to get a firm grip on some grass. stop making the horrific suffering of others about yourselves for once.
that being said, let me get serious for the people on here that are actually normal. for those that don't know by now, this anon seems to be referencing this post about cf, which talks about overwolf (the company that owns curseforge) donating to the IDF. But I also found this tweet by OOP made after that post that explains they have since received DMs from Overwolf stating that they have shifted their relief efforts to aiding victims that have lost their homes from the Hamas terrorist attacks exclusively and do not fund the IDF. this is a much better cause as the victims of terrorism definitely deserve to be helped, and it makes sense they would do this as an Israeli company. The DMs also clarify that it is donation based and nothing uploaded to cf (cc/mods) contributes to this effort whatsoever. As well as Overwolf/Curseforge revenue in general. So simply using curseforge does not mean that you fund or endorse genocide. OOP calls their new efforts commendable in that tweet but I am still looking into and keeping an eye on this matter since, as we know, more information could come out later that contradicts this. And since I have been away im still catching up on everything that has been posted relating to cf.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
here are the pics for those that may not have Twitter. do I still support a boycott for those that want to? oh, absolutely. I know that many will still want to boycott regardless, and I'll be working to add alt links to my cc uploads as soon as possible (the ones that don't already have them) for those that don't want to use it. However, everyone I've seen wanting to boycott seems to want to do it because a) they believe overwolf is funding the IDF (apparently is not true) b) they believe having their uploads on cf or downloading from there will fund the IDF (apparently is not true) or c) overwolf itself is an Israeli company (is definitely true). therefore based on the new info we now have some may decide not to boycott after all or will still do so, it is a personal decision. will I be deleting my account there? for now, no.
to be completely honest, I'm in a really bad place financially right now, and while it isn't much, the little bit I get from cf downloads has been exclusively going towards my meds and dr appointment bills. I don't have the option right now to turn down the small amount of added income when I am currently living day to day, especially with the updated knowledge that simply having cc uploaded there does not contribute to their donation efforts in any way. I do not paywall my cc and never will and I do not ask for donations myself, so my options are somewhat limited. although I do not make cc with the aim of getting paid, I ultimately wouldn't be able to justify the sheer amount of time I spend on it if it wasn't helping me with my medical bills currently, as I am already caregiving with the majority of my time. I'm not reliant on cc making or cf to live, and I never want that to be the case god forbid, but in full transparency it is helping me with my healthcare expenses atm and I cannot afford to neglect my health anymore than I have. especially since, as established earlier, using cf does not contribute to the IDF in the first place. so I personally do not judge anyone that continues to use cf for this reason.
also, for the record so there is no confusion on my personal views, I fully support the freedom of Palestine and condemn genocide first and foremost, as well as terrorism and antisemitism. The current situation in Gaza is abhorrent and I encourage all my followers to not only reblog posts, but educate yourselves on the situation and bring it irl as you are able. Speak with the people you love as well as those you are acquainted with and bring this to this to their attention (if you feel safe to). Attend protests if you can. If you cannot, make the calls and emails to your representatives, sign petitions, and donate as you are able. I have been seeing that even spreading Palestinian culture among your loved ones and peers is helpful. So even if you are in a bad place mentally, that may be an option to spread the positive message of the Palestinian people in your everyday life. I'll be reblogging the posts I already did earlier and some new ones too so you can find those updated links. I will be tagging it with palestine so that it can be found easily on my page.
In addition, be kind. To others and yourself. Try to see the full damn picture instead of a snapshot. What someone posts on tumblr of all places does not reflect an entire person's being, or their efforts, or their heart. Yelling your head off on this dying website does not equal activism, and running your mental health into the ground taking on the weight of the world doesn't give you any more control over the issues we face- I learned that the hard fucking way, believe me. By all means share as much as you like, every bit helps (especially if you have a lot of followers), but keep in mind that it certainly doesn't make you better than anyone else. I know it's extremely difficult to feel helpless and you want to feel like you're doing something, but just make sure you're doing the right things for the right reasons. Please do not fucking attack random people for not responding within one business day of the latest info coming out. And take time away from all this shit to breathe. You can't help anyone if you're fucked up yourself. especially for those of us that already face discrimination and bigotry every day irl, I know it is exhausting. Remember to also care for yourselves through all this.

NIGHT SHIFT
I sight looking at my watch. It seems like I've been doing that a lot lately, but right now my client is trying everything he can to extend our time together while I keep telling him I can't.
Is not always like that. But it can get ugly sometimes.
I made the excuse to use the restroom and he finally let me out. Man can be so difficult when drunk, that's why I usually prefer hosting for women but, even them sometimes can get a little out of it when drunk, the difference is they usually listen when I say I need to leave.
I'm not a prostitute. I say to myself in the mirror. I try to remind me of that, stay true to what i want to do, to my dreams and who i am. But it all seams so foolysh. Leaving and heading to the hosts room. The other boys are working but, I see Chul resting on the sofa playing something in his phone.
- difficult client? - he said without looking at me as I plot on the sofa sitting far away from him.
- the usual. - I simply reply.
My eyes close by itself. It's 3 in the morning and I'm so tired. But the thought of having dance classes later in the afternoon makes a smile grow on my face and suddenly, I have the strength to fight a bear. Well, not literally.
I hear boys laugh coming closer to the room, Hwan and Myung enter saying their goodbyes as they have finished their night for today.
- oh, Jimin your next client is here - Myung said to me.
- thank you, I'll be off now.
Tiredly I make my way out of the room and towards the second floor, where all the rooms we attend our clients are. I stop for a few seconds in front of the door before I make my way in - just one more - and besides, joon is a big softie with me.
[...]
Dance is what makes me feel life. Is what keeps me alive and walking forward. It's like breathing for me.
When I hear the sound of a melody, my body instantly moves with it as if I'm dancing with it, not for it. My mind is no longer a prisoner of my nightmares and I can finally feel free, like this is exactly what I am supposed to be doing.
When my class is over, Eun ji my dance teacher praise me for dancing so beautifully fluid. I thank heavens everyday for her.
When I first came here to Seoul, she was the only one who helped me. Eun ji has been a dancer for 20 years now, she and her husband have a dance studio for classes and they teach all kinds of people.
They were the only ones who accepted me with all my background. They also gave me a place to stay when I didn't have one, and even helped me find a job but, the club was the only place someone like me could be accepted.
- it's been three years already! - Eun ji exclaimed. Her eyes on me as she talks. - I know you think your not ready Jimin but, me and Cha really want you in the studio anniversary celebration.
I knew this was coming. Every year on the Studio anniversary, they held a big celebration with all the dancers and groups they've been teaching. I never participated because I wasn't ready, the fear of disappointing myself with a performance in front of so many people would always make me denied her invitation.
- I don't think I'm ready ms. Ji - I said as look at my feet, not being able to look at her face as I denied her again.
- Jimin I know what you think, but if you keep doing this to yourself you'll never be able to grow - she said and I felt her put a hand on my shoulder - I'm getting older Jimin, and I want to see you shine in that stage, I have no children of my own and you have been like a son to me and Cha.
I look up at her.
- please, think about it.
With a sad smile she leaves.
Her words clutch to my mind for the next few days. I've always wanted to be on stage, but my fears and anxiety hold on me with claws while laughing at me.
I'm not ready. I keep saying, trying to comfort myself in any way possible before i make my way to the manager office.
On my way to the club he called me and told me I had a special request. Special client. Tonight I'll accompany a CEO in a small business dinner, at a fancy restaurant. The only time I've done this before was a year ago, and it did not end well.
Business man are also assholes.
I knock three times before I come in.
- you called me sir - I say.
He turns from his computer and takes off his glasses as he looks at me from his desk.
- you have a vip client tonight - he says - there is only two reasons I called you, number one being the vip client situation.
- oh.. is he new? - I ask.
- yeah but that is not the only thing.... - he says looking around his desk - you'll be in a room with big, big people, important people, extremely influential people.
It makes me wonder who they might be and at the same time makes me uneasy.
- so make sure you serve your client well and... - I already know what he's gonna say - do your little thing and grab a few new ones too.
I knew it. The sight that escapes my mouth doesn't go unnoticed by him, he gets up annoyed and comes at me. I gulped as he stands behind me as I was sitting in front of his desk.
His hands on each side of my shoulders completely cornering me, last time someone said something he didn't liked the boy was beaten up so bad he had to go to the hospital. To say I was scared was an understatement.
I gasp out of shock and pain when he grabbed my neck, his breath hitting my ear as a chill run down my spine.
- you are my slave, so you do what I say or else... - his grip tightens on my neck and tears start to form in my eyes - so if you want to stay alive treat our client very, very... well.
He lets me go. As the air fills my lounges I cough reaching for my neck, my eyes falling on the men in front of me who looks at me as if I'm nothing.
As if I'm just a slave boy.
- the second reason is because of what happened last time - he says, making his way to sit behind his desk again - make sure that doesn't happen again, even if means your ass will get filled.
I stand up, not wanting to hear any of that shit anymore. I hear his laugh as I storm out of that office, anger filling me so hard I smashed the wall besides me.
The pain in my hand being the only thing that brought me back, soon I was blinded by my tears as I grabbed my hand that was now bleeding.
I cried.
[...]
The show must go on. I put on my best clothes as I pushed my feelings away. I have no time to waste pitying myself.
I have no choice but to keep going, I feel a wall suddenly growing around me as I feel so empty. The want to come back home to my mother and cry while she embraces me, almost makes me cry again.
I cursed myself for punching the wall so hard, now I can't bearly do my make up. As i manage to do a decent job I look myself in the mirror being satisfied with it.
One last breath.
I run my hands through my hair, as i build up the strength to keep going.
The show must keep going.
Next?

Wataru and Eichi's solo song analysis
-How did it connect together and the meaning of their relationship-(Part1: Eichi)
I'm literally crying, and there will be more tears after this...but I must...
If you're questioning why I delivered this analysis so late...uhm, it's long. But in short, I've to re-read some of the stories just to make some needed points and to make sure that the facts are true ( and all kinds of business randomly pop up on my schedule, haunting me for weeks! )
Before that, I need you to read some warnings first!
This is my PERSONAL way of looking at their characteristic, if it is not for you, YOU'RE FREE TO HAVE YOUR OWN IDEAL.
Even if you're an Eichi-P, an Eichi hater, or just someone who simply wants to know more about him, I welcome you all with open arms. No one is being banned here. But pls, if you don't like or enjoy the way I look and think of Eichi, do not send hate or make any big mess. If you don't like it, just stop reading, that's it.
There won't be much of the translated song picture because Tumblr stops me from putting 10pic in a post so...again with the word.
THIS IS GONNA BE GODDAMN LONG! I spit it into 2 parts! And it still LONGGG HELP! ( Part 1 will be Eichi's song and Part two is for Wataru song ) I'll make a tag and put the link so you can get to Wataru's part.
I'll be using these 2 Eichi solo songs to analyze:
Shinning star + Crystal Pleasure
And for Wataru:
Amazing World + Wandering Clown
I'm so sorry if there is not much information about Wataru, as well as a good look into his character. We don't have much information about him so...I need things to base on, a clue to know what up with him, but it is hard to even find one because he rarely talks about himself. So most of this analysis will be talking about it from Eichi's standpoint. It's funny how both rarely talk about their family and other personal stuff but since Wataru is around and always able to pull some lore out of Eichi's mouth, we get to know more about Eichi. Though, it was not the same for Wataru because Eichi have lot of respected for him. There had been multiple occasions when Eichi tried telling Wataru that he could open up to him but after some silence, Eichi just said: "It ok if you don't wanna talk about it." And they continued on with other stuff.
Alright, let's set up a map for this one because it is kinda LOnGGGGG
A small summary of young Eichi and how he came to know Wataru + during the war and after the war ended.
What thoughts do I have on Eichi being so in love with Wataru?
Into the song: About Eichi's solo then we'll get to Wataru's solo later.
1. A little summary!
Since this post is a goddam 4 song-analyzing post, it going to be hard for those who just want to get to the song part, so I made a whole different post for it!
If you're interested, go ahead and read the summary, if not, you can get to other parts. BUT, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU TO read it ( if you have the time to ) because it going to help you understand Eichi's character better and enjoyable view of his song and the connection he has with Wataru.
2. Some of my thought on their dynamic ( 0v0/ ✨❤️✨)
I'm crying in happiness to get a chance to talk about them. I really want to do this for a long time ago but never got the time to.
As I've mentioned before in part 1. Eichi is Wataru's biggest fan.
So, it is likely that Eichi loves him but also puts a distance wall in their relationship like how a fan is to their idols.
From the brutal war, Eichi thinks he had hurt too many people to be forgiving PLUS the self-hate and low-esteem, it is just like a knife that was already placed in his chest, after the war ends, it just goes deeper in.
Wataru visited him but it did not make Eichi cry in tear of joy but in pain, because to Eichi, now, no one would like to be with him anymore. It was a good choice to let Tsumugi go, so he can be free. It was a good choice to made that damn contract even if friendship is what needed to help a Unit grow strong.
That "Fine" was never a Unit in Eichi's eyes. It was nothing but a weapon he used to wield. To kill the innocent, carefree being, yet it was necessary.
An action he must took to made the school a better place. And he did, he succeeded but sacrificed himself in the process.
So, if it was not for Wataru, we would never have the Fine today. Heck! Maybe we never get to see Eichi again and he will become nothing but the dust of Yumenosaki's past.
And I was so in tears! Every goddamn time Eichi keeps on with that suspicious look, scare that Wataru wouldn't be with him anymore, that Eichi will be throw away like trash.
Like! Give it a rest buddy! He love you! That it!
Tumblr media
And to that depressed little rich guy? Wataru didn't hate him or stay away from him at all!
He was also trying his best, like feeding a kid the food they hate but is healthy so Wataru have to keep trying.
He kept on trying and trying just to let Eichi know: "I'm here for you, and I won't run away, I won't hurt you, I won't betray you. I will be here, with you."
With that came! The shiniest moment of the two!
EP: Link!
When Wataru literally gave Eichi his one and beloved mask that he wear all the time, just to let Eichi know that he'll always be here for Eichi.
I laughed so hard with Eichi just confused at the spot until others showed up.
Like, Eichi, yeh? Rich, smart, good looking. Yet just for a mask now placed on his hand and he getting all wonder in space.
Why? Because he was so sure about everything he thought! To him, his plan was perfect, to the man who wounded many, of course, he would never think that the plan in his head would not become true. He did it before, how can he fail it this time?
It couldn't go wrong, right? He thinks to himself but never did he consider it to be just some random stuff that he made up in his head and reality is different.
When he hear the news that Wataru participated in the actor test, he thought Wataru gave up on being an idols. Then went: "Well...look like he didn't want to be with me anymore. Look like he'll be come an actor."
Like...man, you made that up. You're sad because of your own thoughts then later on get confused when it isn't what actually happened.
This man is such a pathetic guy, I love him.
3. Song analysis:
Well well well, isn't it time *look at my watch*
Even though analysis 1 song would be great, I do, however, want to put 2 solo songs into this analysis then one.
Of course, we'll go slow and analyze one at a time, yet I can't stop but put both songs in one post because, in that way, we can see how both have changed, develop though still full of flaws, they have become something beautiful and will continues to grow.
Let's start with - SHINING STAR:
Tumblr media
"A twinkling trace of a dream from beyond the horizon."
"Even though I understand...that it might just be an illusion"
Firstly, the name of this first solo is "SHINING STAR". It both mentions Wataru ( of course! ) and Eichi being the star.
But the two are described differently.
In these lines, mentions the appearance of an unknown shining star from beyond the horizon, a faraway star that shines bright.
But the more Eichi looked, as he thought it was all just a dream, an unreal feeling of this star that shine far in the sky. Because it was so beautiful, but how did he be able to find it here? Was it all way that close or was it all his imagination?
"Today with you, I continue to chasing it."
I said it already but let's say it again!
This man you're looking at is once a suicidal freak!!!
So gained enough confidence to live up to a "Today with you" is one thing, and actually find meaning in life "continue to chasing it" is another.
Because when you're in a state of depression, to once again find the meaning it life is HARD. When everything is already at its limit. When you can't feel anything anymore
Nothing but an empty soul, it hard. That is why depressing people don't do many things or everything at the same time. They try to find a way to continue living or decide to give up on everything.
Losing motive.
Yet Eichi was able to wake up and try to run away from this death of him. He might die from trying too hard, but he made the decision. To continue.
And who gave him the courage for this? Wataru! That is why, it was a "Today with you". Because Eichi still wants to see Wataru's show and witness the beauty of this magician.
I can't die yet! That's why he continues to fight. For everyone, for himself, but right at this moment, when the solo was released, at this moment, to him, Wataru was the first reason for he to continue.
As he's love for idols, pulls him back to life.
"Beautiful things are so fragile and ephemeral" "Permeating through your eyes, I reach out" "Oh, SHINING STAR"
Guys, I'll count from 1 to 3, guess who Eichi was singing about.
1, 2, 3!
Surprise no surprise! It was Wataru.
The shining star he mentions in some of the first lines, as it was far away but Eichi isn't that hopeless of a boy anymore, he shows signs of trying "I reach out".
He wants to be admitted and to be seen in his beloved idol's eyes. He wanted Wataru to see him and caught Wataru's attention.
Even if Wataru is already there for him, Eichi himself thinks otherwise, that he still has a long way to go. He can't just be at the winning spot without paying any price.
And for that, he was scared that he might hurt him. Like the things he did to Wataru friend, the Eccentric and the old Fine.
He was so scared of this beauty now coming so close to him "Beautiful things" he called it, the feeling he had when he was with Wataru, with the things he love yet never had a change to tough it is "fragile", this relationship can be broke if Wataru don't want to be with him anymore.
But, was Wataru's purpose for being here in was because of him or because Wataru wanted something from him.
He feels like the relationship they have is "ephemeral"
( if you are questioning: Ephemeral means lasting for a very short time )
"Underneath this starry sky" "An unknown neverending path continues"
My man is confusing
This depressing guy just recovered from his wound and was still a little confused over the new future he's facing ahead.
It's an unknown path, may be perilous, may be terrifying but he made his decision, he'll go on, he'll continue.
He knows that it will be uneasy. For he who thought that the next thing he'll be on is his deathbed, never knew someone would have the time and strength to take his hand and pull him out of that destiny deathbed.
His future was switched, and now he had to face a new unknown path that he knew nothing about.
"And for your sake" "I'll keep on shining"
"I'll be "SHINING STAR"."
And for the clown who needs a villain to lead his way, Eichi will continue to live until Wataru no longer wants him.
He wants to, no, he is a star, an unknown star that yet to be discovered. And after Wataru point it out for him, he understand that he is also some where far yet close to Wataru spot.
So, to catch that shining star attention, he'll have to be shining too!
Thought Eichi didn't seen to realize what it takes to become a real idol. His love for idols is endless and so does he's wish for a brighter future with Wataru.
And with that, for Wataru's sake, he keeps on living, shining bright as a star.
"Hiding your sorrow behind a smile" "You understand the pain of resistance" "A lifeless flower is blooming in the plains" "Such things make this world beautiful"
I will kill just to legally continue calling out these lyrics that Eichi sings about, all pointing to Wataru.
If you thought, yeh, Wataru can't be sad, he always looks happy. Then, my dear reader, you are wrong. Wataru can be blue sometimes, but it's hard to know since he just kept on smiling.
You can rarely find a moment where he puts down his mask, but it doesn't mean zero.
In Phantom Thieves and Detectives, after Knight and Ra*bit show, Wataru appears in the dark. But he seems...tired and doesn't really care to put on the face of a clown anymore.
This is not often, but there is also the time when Wataru points out other characters about the fact that they're wearing a mask too.
The reason Eichi can sing these lines is because he notices, he watches Wataru closely, for a long time, to the point he starts to realize that his beloved idols also have their flaws.
Since 2 lines are already about Wataru, so is the third!
The flower is Wataru, but instead of blooming anywhere else, he blooms "in the plains".
A primarily treeless place. In that way, it was easy to spot the flowers.
Standing on the bright stage, all along. The soulless flower bloom. It was beautiful, but the more you look, you'll find out, that this beauty is an empty one, it was a host but without a soul.
"Without hurting anyone, no dream can come true" "Without getting hurt, there's no way forward either"
"Oh, SHINING STAR"
Oh, I don't know, maybe in his household, he was being taught that you'll have to fight to win things over. Since he's a heir of a big rich household, of course, he gets the education to become one.
In this brutal world of humanity, to Eichi, the way he can win is through competition, fighting and sometimes you'll have to be tricky and stop playing nice when it doesn't seem to work.
He could have found a better way to make the school turn from bad to good, but it is not possible to win over such things without bloodshed.
With that in mind, turning the table by starting a war, and such education had already eaten into his brain from youth.
So in his way of seeing things, there are no dream if you don't stand up for a fight. If not pulling people down to get the first place in line, how can you do it? Nicely ask them to? Will they simply say yes or kick you down to the ground.
If you don't get hurt, you can't learn from it. And at the end of the day, you'll achieve nothing.
"As unbalanced as we are" "If we have different strides, let's join hands"
This part, this dam part *cry*
Wataru is a different star, and Eichi is a different star, yet Eichi is trying to reach out to him.
Silly science time! Did you know that two stars are really really far away from each other? Yes, the Sun is a star, but Earth, Mars, and others are planets, not stars.
Two stars can't be too close together.
The average distance between two stars in the Milky Way is around 5 light-years, or 29 trillion miles (47 trillion kilometers)
And even though all those constellations seem to a "standing close with other stars" and got connected into a line, they're in fact not, one might be far away from the other, yet they're all too far for our human eyes to know the difference.
Also, if you're wondering about the fact that two stars stand next to each other, they can but...they simply will pull themself close to the other and then go boom like a two-side car crash ( with both drivers being drunk a*s f*ck since they just get out from their daily local bar )
( it feels like that one time when I analyzed a Valkyrie song then ended up putting an whole a*s poem in it )
Yet, Eichi wants to get to Wataru, "Let's join hands", so we don't lose each other, so you would go too far away from me.
"The path ahead of you" "I shall light it up" "I'm your "SHINING STAR"."
Guy, no word needs to be said, you simply read and understand...
AAAAA, fine! I will *continue to cry my eyes out*, Eichi wants to light Wataru road ahead.
To Wataru, the little actor, the little clown. Eichi is out there, writing the script for him. Wataru want Eichi too, as at first he was unsure, but now? He wants to lead the way, he wants a future with Wataru.
So he'll light the way, he'll become Wataru's "Shining star".
"If you were to lose your way, I would certainly guide you back"
Like a lost ship in the sea, Eichi will be his lighthouse, leading Wataru back to land.
"You just need to believe me, and take a step forward"
I love you as my beloved idol, I love to show you're talent to the world out there, and let them know how beautiful you are. So please put your trust in me.
"Oh, SHINING STAR" "Our world is such a cold, yet kind place, continuing to revolve" "So in oder to arrive at a new tomorrow"
Eichi is still insecure about life, he had been taught that he'll have to stand up for himself. He had been taught that this place was cold and lonely.
Yet he was able to find love. Eichi was not so sure if that love would stay for long, but it did change him.
The world that he thought was a cold and terrible place was actually warm and full of joy.
He's not so sure to accept this love, despite that, he wants it to stay for as long as it can. Because of it, he was able to continue to live on, and arrive at the moment when he thought he was already dead by that time.
The lyrics repeat themselves, showing Eichi's determent to become a shining star, as bright as Wataru, so he can stay next to him.
"Oh, SHINING STAR" "Underneath this starry sky" "An unknown, neverending path continues" "And for your sake" "I'll keep on shining" "I'll be "SHINING STAR"."
AND NOW, Welcome our next Eichi's solo:
Crystal Pleasure !!!
Before we get into the analysis, I just want you to know. SHINING STAR had a soft and chill beat, it was slow and calm but also sad and a little misery once you read through the lyrics.
BUT HIS SECOND SOLO? Crystal Pleasure?
It had a jazz-like 90s vibe and such a happy beat! It shows his change, that he is no longer fighting for his life but actually filled with joy with the new and warm future where the path is now clear to him.
Tumblr media
"Crystal Pleasure, let's burn some Crystal Pleasure into those eyes" "Crystal Pleasure, there's so many Crystal Pleasure, over and over again."
The beginning was POP!
Anyway, the first song was about shining stars, and this time, it Crystal.
Both are kira kira but one is up in the sky and one is down to the ground.
I got a little confused but I guess I'll use both meanings. Crystal doesn't just mean a type of gem or quartz, it too means glass, depending on the way you use it.
It is a "crystal quartz" but it can also be a "crystal clear glass".
If we're talking about the crystal gems that is, then the meaning is quite clean, since crystal is being used in decorating important places and objects.
To make something beautiful is to decorate it with shining gems.
The meaning/symbolization of those shining crystals is "transcendence and the light of the heaven". Yes, all over Eichi and Fine theme isn't it.
Now, I won't let you wait any longer, let's get into the song, shall we:
"The world is flooding with entertainment (competing for stardom)" "And as they compete, they become more and more extreme, wanting to be chosen" "Even so, those pure eyes remain as they seek" And all the white and black that I emit to be stared at dazzlingly"
It was not just about the idol industry, Eichi was trying to tell a story here.
That "they" was someone. Guess who? Wataru Hibiki!
The lines: "As they compete, they become more and more extreme" really stick out to me.
A silly jester, a genius, who wanted to learn from trick to trick and he was able to learn them quickly given that he was a kind of genius. An Eccentric member.
He is an actor, standing on stage, waiting for a director to choose him, to write him a script.
Eichi could feel the eyes of Wataru, which seek for a screenwriter, to write Wataru a brand new story, a brand new world.
Eichi then accepted Wataru's invitation and decided to be the one to give him his new plays. A new role, a new life, a new love.
"Let's take my hand because it's a miracle that I was able to meet you in the brightness" "And I hope to repose to that miracle of meeting you with my whole life ahead of me"
After all that time, after a suicide state of him, being saved by Wataru was like a gift from god. He knew that he had such a love for idols, that love almost died down, being forgotten but then Wataru came, reminding Eichi about why he was here in the first place.
"Meet you in the brightness" is like an angel, visiting Eichi by the window. The light from the window makes Wataru look bright, like the angel he is to Eichi.
Moreover, this line has some resemblance to the symbolization of crystal, remember it? It's "Transcendence and the light of the heaven" .
( What's that? Sound like the tiled of this song is already about Wataru? The whole song is! What can I say more than the homies are at it again!!!)
Wataru was his savior, and Eichi hoped that he could repay this gratefulness to him.
Here, it may be minor but it was a welcoming change! Knowing Eichi, he would likely try to repay Wataru with lots of stuff. His ways of love are to buy people things and make a big event just for something so small yet it was precious to him, so it was worth it.
Did I mention the fact that Eichi bought a WHOLD AS* pyramid for him just because Wataru joke? Yeh...I'm not lying.
Tumblr media
But in this line: "hope to repose - with my whole life ahead of me"
It changes, somethings change. Staying with Wataru for long enough, his view of looking changes. Now, instead of buying him something, Eichi uses his life and quality time as a gift to Wataru.
Eichi "Buying things for you is want I want to, but then again, maybe, spending some time with you is the real meaningful gift" Tenshouin.
Also, a small detail but the "Let's take my hand" part, did you know that in Tempest, this adorable little detail takes place:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I want to connect all the sparkling moments and make you happy" "Ah, as long as I am allowed to live, let me give you happy dreams"
The first line is when Eichi wants to give Wataru happiness, but the second? A little happy mix with sad.
"As long as I am allowed to live"
Eichi mentions his sickness, will the sickness kill him first or will he overcome it. He doesn't know, but as long as he's healthy, when he's still here, he'll do everything to make Wataru happy.
The times may run out, but before I die, giving you happiness is the thing that will satisfy my near-death soul.
To fulfill Wataru's dream is the first thing to do on his little bucket list.
"I think I know how to charm you ( this unyielding stardom )" "So if there's something I can do here, I vow to protect it"
Bit confused, but I read it ten times over and understood that Eichi finally accepted Wataru's love, he vowed to protect it, the love and hope that bloomed from this new relationship.
"Now, I want you to look forward to it, and determine the value with your eyes" "This dream, love, and freedom that I draw now became strong and full of color"
I would like to have a call back to another line in this song, it was "all the white and black that I emit" given that these lyrics are talking about the freedom of Eichi's soul.
From a soulless human with just black and white, now his world is "full of color", filled with love and hope, this dream that seems to be lost has come back to life.
"Let's visit you into the brilliance, towards the tomorrow you desire" "Let's be a little greedy, there's no need to hold back"
Eichi will give Wataru the stage to shine, into the world of light that Wataru wants.
This dream was never about Eichi, and that's what makes it about him.
Since the day Wataru saved him, his love of idols has once again come back to life. Being able to make Wataru's dream come true was Eichi's desire all along.
He views that his wish is a bit too greedy, knowing that it will take a tedious process, but he won't stop, he has been in the darkness for too long. Now he wishes to see the light and get used to it so it won't blind him.
The wish to see Wataru shining like a star with his own two eyes. So Wataru, please don't hesitate, though I'm quite the greedy, I hope you'll be happy to see me, staying here with you, your happiness is my light.
"Connecting the precious time, we are the protagonists on this stage" "While blessed by countless stars, let us sing our never-ending dreams"
So some of you may not know about this but, interesting information: Both Eichi and Wataru, one ( or 99 times more ) admit that they're the villain of the stage.
Yes! BOTH.
Eichi was in pain and after the war, he admitted all the faults he had and told himself that he was the evil villain of the show, even long after the war ended, he still thought it that way.
Wataru is a bit different, the exact time was never mentioned, but clues are all over the place. Wataru admitted to Tomoya that he usually plays the role of villain. And, it made sense since Wataru passed constraint to him being asked to play tricks, he likes to do tricks and magic, but the people, they always ask for more.
Wataru was scared, but he continued anyway, he continued to learn new tricks, but that was not enough
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He didn't go mad and start taking the role of a villain though, it was never clarified. But I don't think that was the case, not at all.
Wataru was more likely to take the role of villain because he wanted to step back and out of the light of the stage. Of course, he is still there, but not in a heroic way anymore. He didn't mean to but he wished people to look away from him more often than before, though, in the end, it was quite the opposite, he made friends and lots of people admitted him.
Even Wataru never expect this to happen. In the "Phantom Thieves VS Detectives" story, Epilogue 3, he said this: "But believe it or not, the amount of friends and acquaintances I've made since entering Yumenosaki Academy have surprisingly increased in size."
They're both villain in their own story, but later on, after many hardships and challenges, they learn and understand.
The two are no longer the villains but the protagonist, the protagonist of a story where they get to stand together on the stage.
And with the Fine now, they'll stand together, with Tori and Yuzuru, sing the never-ending symphony of their dreams.
Here comes, my favorite:
"Determination alone is futile, but you are there, the one who saved me is you" "Because your passionate gaze gives me the meaning of life"
Eichi literally went: "Only by trying is not enough, if not for you who had saved me from the darkness, I would've been gone." to Wataru.
Also about how Wataru gives him the biggest motivation to keep living and doesn't "kick the bucket" due to sickness or several suicidal attempts.
And, it ends with other lines got repeated:
"Let's take my hand because it's a miracle that I was able to meet you in the brightness" "And I hope to repose to that miracle of meeting you with my whole life ahead of me" "I want to connect all the sparkling moments and make you happy" "Ah, as long as I am allowed to live, let me give you happy dreams forever"
"Crystal Pleasure, let's burn some Crystal Pleasure into those eyes" "Crystal Pleasure, there's so many Crystal Pleasure, over and over again."
Alright, this is the end of part 1, Eichi's solo song. We'll now move to part 2, which I'll make in another post.
So I want you to know that I wrote this with all my heart that I pulled out of my chest. I love them from the bottom heart of my.
I don't need you to forgive Eichi or forget what he did in the past, this whole analysis was not made for that purpose, I just need you to understand that he did, in fact, lots of bad things in the past and he got his punish, it a punish to live on, to learn and suffer with the future. But Wataru was there, helping him out, so he's not that scare anymore.
If anyone ask me to tell them they're homo but without telling them they're homo, I'll show them this long a*s paragraph ( I'm so proud of myself for writing this but also asking myself that I should be out there making money instead...but I'm feeling great after written this so...maybe it not that bad )
THANK YOU FOR READING!
Part 2 will be coming out soon? I mean, I'll put the link in if I finish it...hopefully...

Hi, I can ask for a Angel, Husk and Blitzø (separately) with an S/O which is an angel in the guise of a sinner sent from heaven to help Charlie
I've been looking forward to a request like this! I went down a slightly different path with Blitz, I hope it's no issue. I hope you enjoy! Gender neutral terms used, under the cut for length and trigger warnings, will be tagged. TW: Very brief mention of abuse (Angel Dust), heavy discussion of alcohol (Husk)
Angel Dust - He originally met who he believed to be another sinner after a hard night with Valentino. He stumbled in, scratched and bruised. When he sat at the bar and asked Husk for the usual, he was met by this new sinner, who said they could heal his wounds. He was doubtful but he let them try, and they succeeded. - The sinner was a big help with marketing, helping drive attention to the hotel. Angel loved to see them doing so much hard work for Charlie, but why? Not many sinners believed in this cause. - When he asked them privately, they were vague with their answer. All they said was, they promised someone they'd protect Charlie and, by extension, the hotel at any cost. Angel chose to leave it there. - Over a few weeks however, the hotel was bustling with clientele, many of them genuinely interested in the hotel, and it was all thanks to [Y/N]. They seemed to have a persuasive personality. - It was while the hotel was bustling with new customers that Angel found himself growing closer to this mysterious sinner. They could kick Valentino's ass no problem, they could heal his wounds, yet no one recognized them. He was interested in that mystique. - It was a cold night in Hell when Alastor was off doing his own thing, leaving the hotel seemingly unprotected. When that snake dick blew a part of the building off making more claims about owning the territory Angel groaned inwardly and went to grab some weapons for another shitty turf war but things went differently. - [Y/N] stood, looking unimpressed, and told Pentious to leave. He only hissed at them and sent a few eggs at them. Rather than smashing them, [Y/N] simply told them to turn around and not look at them. Almost appearing bored they snapped their fingers, a flash of bright white flooded the building, and as it faded [Y/N] had been replaced, no - reformed, into a being clad in white, bright yellow eyes and two sets of wings. A Seraphim. With little effort they put the building back in place and repeated to Pentious to leave, he had no upper hand anymore. Hesitantly he left, though he was bound to tell anyone in Hell that he had an encounter with a high standing angel. - Angel Dust, however, felt different. He'd grown to fall in love with who he thought was just a powerful sinner but standing in their place, wings spread like a dove and yellow eyes like a cat, was [Y/N], a Seraphim. - It took him time to accept they were an angel, but he was never angry. It just explained a lot. He finally got his answer however. They made a promise to God to protect Charlie and her hotel. They've already shown that they're willing to do it. His relationship with them didn't change much, but they had to keep up their sinner form around others, despite all the staff now knowing of their true species. - In private he would ask them to change back to their real form and comfort him, telling him he was safe and okay. He loved it, and he loved him. This would be his reason to be redeemed.
Husk - When Charlie burst into the hotel with some random sinner in tow, Husk was unimpressed. Charlie went on about giving them a job and scanned the hotel for a moment...Before landing her eyes on Husk. She decided they should be his bartender apprentice. He was disgusted by the idea but agreed, he had no choice. - Surprisingly he got along well with this sinner. They were capable of making difficult drinks with ease and though they didn't drink, they didn't stop Husk. They helped nurse his hangovers after he drank too much. They even loved watching his card tricks and tried learning his sleight of hand move, but ultimately couldn't pull it off. - He found himself having fun with them in his off-time. When the bar was closed for the night they'd stay up late playing Poker with him; they weren't too good at it, but he used that sleight of hand to let them win so they'd have a little pocket money. - He often visited bars outside the hotel, and his friend (or partner? He was unsure) often followed him, just to be near him. He appreciated their interest in him, though it was a little odd. - One late night, Husk and several other sinners were plastered and arguing about something stupid, and one stood up and punched Husk square in the jaw. Husk hissed and slashed his claws across the assaulter's face and ducked just in time for a wooden chair to hit the assaulter in the face. In a split second it went from a calm little seedy bar to an all out brawl. [Y/N], who was never accustomed to fighting despite their time in Hell, tried to make Husk stop but he didn't listen or seem to care. So they took things into their own hands. - With a loud crackle of lightning the room was blinded by white light. The sudden flash bang stopped the fighting at least. As the light faded, the exact place [Y/N] stood was replaced by a being dressed modestly in pure white clothes, was a fuzzy, glowing being. A Power Angel, the border Angels between humans, Heaven and Hell. Their eyes were wide and reflected the colors of the bar. Gazing calmly, they simply responded, "that's better". Taking Husk, who was beyond shocked, by the paw they asked politely, "shall we leave?" He could only muster a nod as he was led outside. "What will those other demons say?" He asked them as they shifted back to their sinner form. "Oh, I wiped their memory of this." Another simple response. - Upon returning to the hotel for the night, Husk chose to keep [Y/N]'s true species to himself, though they said it was fine if they told others. He was surprisingly not angry. He was humbled that an angel cared so deeply for him. - In private they have no issue shifting to their true form and allowing Husk to shine lights through their form to make a rainbow in their form. They'll take on a physical form just long enough to kiss his nose, then turn back to their form of light so he can't counteract.
Blitz - Blitz received a call from Stolas, surprisingly nothing horny this time. He sounded concerned, telling Blitz about a suspicious sinner helping the Princess with her silly little hotel. He asked Blitz to examine and report back, offering him a good amount of money for it. - With Moxxie, Millie and Loona in tow he scouted around the hotel, examining a sinner who looked out of place. They found them swiftly. There was the Princess and her partner. The Radio Demon and two of his souls, the porn star...And the sinner that concerned Stolas. Something familiar emanated from them, but he didn't dare say it out loud. - When the sinner left to buy some groceries Blitz followed them, unaware they knew it. As they were paying for their groceries they bought some imp candy, how odd, considering there were no imps in the hotel...When they went back out to their car they told him to come out or they'd come get him, Obliging he exited and they just tossed him the candy. "If you have questions, ask me when I'm off work for the day." With that they were gone, and Blitz was left with some imp candy. - The next day, after their shift ended and they stepped outside for some cold air, they called him out by name, asking him to come out. He was shocked but did as he was told. They told him to go ahead and ask his questions while they had time off. - He asked them what they were. They replied, just a sinner. He asked why they were at the hotel. Their response was that they were part of the staff and hoped to be redeemed. He asked a litany of other questions but finished with, "what, exactly, are you? You're no ordinary sinner." They looked uncertain. "If I tell you, will you keep it a secret...?" They practically pleaded. Blitz nodded his head. - With a puff of air the sinner he'd been gazing at disappeared, replaced by a form of bright, hazy light. There wasn't exactly a form to them, they just...Glowed. One eye sat in their glowing appearance, gazing at him pleadingly. Without a mouth they spoke, "you won't tell Stolas?" Blitz sighed. "Only if I know why you're here." - With something akin to a nod, they spoke softly, "I'm here to protect this hotel and care and nurture for it. I'm a Virtue Angel, it's my job under God's discretion." Blitz felt numb at their admission but accepted it. "Your secret is safe with me." - He called Stolas that night, telling him the sinner was simply another new sinner trying to become an Overlord. He never mentioned their angelic form. But he wished to see them again...Despite their limited time speaking, he'd grown to like their patient, kind and knowing demeanor and he wanted to know them better. He'd visit the hotel one last time, waiting for them to leave their shift and ask to follow him somewhere, to which they obliged. - It was rather poorly put together, but sat in a small patch of grass surrounded by trees was a small bench, complete with food, wine and sodas. - "I thought we could get to know each other better?"

can you explain Hanako's feeling seeing tsukasa for the first time and as the story progresse how he feels about that especially when tsukasa tells him about the end of the school in chapter 105? Hanako said that he protects the balance but why did tsukasa went to break it ? I thought when hanako became hanako to erase his mistakes maybe the price was to be his brother the younger one is the opposite ? I don't know , what do you think?!
Tsukasa is Hanako's yorishiro, he exists to remind him that Hanako has to do his duty. Apparently Tsukasa had been away from Amane for a few years (as he said himself) Then he suddenly returned and this shocked Hanako.
Tumblr media
It was clear that Hanako wasn't expecting him to return, so the first time he meets his brother he is shocked, scared, embarrassed, to the point of crying. We don't really know what their relationship was like previously, so this reaction is open to discussion.
Did he react like that out of fear of Tsukasa? (Kou talked about it but Hanako didn't deny it or confirm it) did he react like that because Tsukasa showing up means that Hanako's "duty" isn't being fulfilled and Tsukasa went there to punish Hanako?
Or is Hanako ashamed of what he did to his younger brother in the past? There are several interpretations, but it is true that Hanako is almost always in shock when he sees Tsukasa, at least initially.
After a while, Hanako relaxes and he and Tsukasa talk normally, Tsukasa hugs him and he doesn't have much of a reaction to it. They also don't fight with each other. Hanako doesn't feel comfortable around Tsukasa, but he doesn't do anything too aggressive to push him away, in fact he doesn't do anything at all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
About the two being opposites, it's real, Tsukasa said that.
Tumblr media
We don't know what Hanako's "duty" is, and keep in mind that this "God" could be a bad supernatural. Just because he is a God does not mean he will be good. For now the only God they mention is the one who lives under the red house (the same one in the abyss) So if the twins lived with him, I imagine that the God Hanako talks about is him (it's a hypothesis)
On the day of the separation, many bad supernaturals were passing into the world of the living, did the 7 mysteries have a meeting about this and why was that happening? Because Hanako had taken Yorishiro's seals. No one was taking care of the paths that didn't have the seals.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But Hanako was also sealed. And apparently, he is extremely powerful without this seal and uncontrollable (I've already talked about this in some posts) What if Hanako was placed as leader because he was one of the only ones capable of controlling or fighting against the God?
Then we have Tsukasa. He says:
Tumblr media
So I wonder, what is Hanako's duty? What if he is the traitor and his duty is to take out all the yorishiros and free this God that the minamoto sealed? Tsukasa is here to remind him of his duty, and he is fulfilling it.
The first thing Hanako did when he found Yashiro (the only one who could remove the seals) was to destroy the yorishiros with the excuse that there was a traitor. Doesn't it seem convenient?
In the end, I think Tsukasa and Amane are in this together (at least for now). Amane never stops Tsukasa from doing anything, even if his actions are harmful to the school, he never actually stops Tsukasa, he even shows that he has this intention but he doesn't do it. Maybe Hanako wants the wish that the God will give to whoever removes all the seals, or maybe it's another reason.
Tumblr media
The fact is, Hanako must protect the school and students from bad supernaturals. Tsukasa wants everyone to be able to do whatever they want, living or supernatural. Tsukasa wants to take off the yorishiros and Hanako was taking them off.
Why has Hanako lost interest in this now? Because Yashiro will die when all the seals are removed, before this was not a problem, but Hanako fell in love with her. Yashiro seems like she's going to be used for some purpose (sacrifice, perhaps) but Hanako changes his mind when he falls in love. Tsukasa returned when Yashiro confessed to Hanako on the roof.
If Hanako isn't going to use Yashiro as a sacrifice anymore, he's not doing his duty, so Tsukasa shows up to make sure he does. (Tsukasa was always there actually).
So that's it, I think the twins are together and want to remove the seals to free the God or something else. Maybe Hanako doesn't like the idea and that's why he doesn't like being around Tsukasa, because he reminds Hanako about his duty (it's a hypothesis).
In fact, have you ever noticed that Hanako and Tsukasa always make a mess at school, everyone makes a fuss about it, but after everything goes back to normal they just leave everything as it is? Wouldn't Teru exorcise Hanako after the big breakup? (even after he ran away with Yashiro) Now that he was frozen in time, this would have been an opportunity, but he just let it pass and took Hanako with him. (For now I won't judge Teru because he may use Hanako for some specific purpose)
One thing I hate about JSHK is how the characters conveniently never say the important things to each other or punish characters who actually do bad things. How was Hanako punished? with a spanking? How was Hanako punished after the PP arc?
They're like "We're mad Hanako, don't do that again" and it ends here. A new arc begins. This makes me so angry hahahaha
It's worth remembering that there is still the possibility that Hanako will turn against Tsukasa (especially after recent events) and that perhaps now he will stop him. I don't know what will happen, there are several possibilities. Hanako is tied up, Teru and Akane are going after Tsukasa, who will fight him?
That's what I think for now, let's see what happens when more information arrives :3
I hope you liked it, thanks for the ask!

Ever since your unsatisfying night with Jeongin, that itch deep inside of you had returned. The itch that had started it all, that had caused you to uncover their true identities and your own. Back then you had been so scared to act on it, afraid to lose them. But now you knew better. They wanted you just as much as you wanted them.
However, even though you wanted to act on it, there seemed to be no space for you to do so. The boys were still all busy as ever and even Jeongin suddenly seemed to be all booked up. Now and then you tried visiting them in their rooms, but whenever they were there they were often already fast asleep. Not wanting to disrupt their sleep cycles in their already so busy and tiring lives, you quietly would sneak out again.
But as days started to pass, the itch was getting worse and worse again. And if you tried to satiate the itch on your own, it just wasn’t the same.
‘You seem a little on edge lately,’ Adam remarked as the two of you walked together through the hallway.
‘Do I?’ you spoke, your voice unintentionally sounding much harsher and snappier than usual, your eyes only glaring straight through him
‘Exhibit A’ Adam said simply.
‘Right, sorry about that. Just not sleeping well again,’ you said, trying to make your voice sound somewhat softer as you run your hands down your face. It wasn’t a lie; the itch had been disrupting your sleep as of late.
‘Again? Have you tried melatonin? It can really help you know. I remember when I-’ Adam began but you suddenly stopped walking.
You felt a familiar prickly feeling in your neck and you turned around. A few students who were walking behind you almost bumped into you and gave you scolding looks, but you ignored them and looked around. You quickly found what you were looking for.
A few feet away was standing Minho, his phone in his hand as he stared at the screen unconvincingly. You were sure he had been staring at you just a second ago. You could feel it. It was odd for him to be here. The wing you were in was one where he never had classes, nor did Han. It also wasn’t a way to get to the gardens, the parking lot or the cafeteria. There was simply no logical explanation for why he would be here.
Your mind, which had already been on edge, immediately spun out of control. You strode over to him feeling unreasonable anger firing up in you.
‘Why are you following me?’ you hissed at him when you stopped in front of him.
‘Excuse me?’ Minho said, arching a brow and looking up from his phone.
‘You heard me. Why are you following me?’ you repeated, starting to feel even more annoyed. A lock of his light grey hair fell into his face, a beautiful contrast with his dark eyes behind the silver-rimmed spectacles he wore. It all made you feel even more irritable.
‘What would make you think I’m following you?’ Minho asked calmly a cocky brow raising at you, but you knew him better than that. You could see the glint in his eye and the slight twitch of the corner of his mouth. Something was up. He had that same look in his eyes as before, the same look he had had when you had spotted him in the cafeteria and in the library.
‘Don’t bullshit me, Lino, I know you’ve been watching me,’ you spoke through clenched teeth. The gleam of his dark eyes was almost mesmerizing as your eyes locked with his. It wasn’t hard to drown in them. His perfect face tilted, exposing his strong jawline and his pretty nose. It almost made you mad at how gorgeous he was. Both of his eyebrows were now raised as he looked at you arrogantly. A look that only he could give and looking stupidly hot while doing it. His pink lips were slightly parted as he stared down at you.
Suddenly someone grabbed you by the shoulder harshly.
‘What the fuck are you doing?’ Adam’s voice hissed in your ear. It was as if you had been flying and suddenly been slammed back to the ground again. You suddenly realized how loudly you had been talking. You looked around you. Other students had stopped and were now staring at you, whispering behind their hands and giving you weird and dirty looks. You could feel yourself turn pink instantly, ears now hot. Although Minho was your friend, your housemate and much, much more; to others he was simply Professor Lee. No one knew the relationship between you two or even him and Han. It had been your personal request to them to keep it on the down low. But now you had fucked up.
‘Let’s go!’ Adam hissed in your ear, he was still tugging on your shoulder harshly, and you quickly gave into him. He dragged you away, leaving the whispering bystanders and Minho behind and walking as quickly as he could.
Adam stopped when the two of you finally reached a deserted corridor.
‘What is wrong with you?’ He asked the question calmly, as if he was asking about the weather. You were still too embarrassed to answer so Adam continued. ‘I thought you were trying to keep your relationship as roommates with them a secret. I mean, of course, it’s all your business whether you do or don’t, but I don’t think it’s a great idea to reveal such a secret by scolding a well-known and well-liked professor in the middle of the hallway, basically accusing him of stalking you.’
You bit your lip. You had been acting like an insane person, you understood this now. How could you have been so dumb? Adam shook his head, his expression worried.
‘You better hope this doesn’t turn into a shitshow where he gets fired for sexual harassment,’ Adam said. Your heart sank. You knew how this would go now. Enough people had seen and heard you talking, meaning they had heard your accusation. If gossip would spread, there was a large chance Minho could get fired, just by the gossip, whether it was true or not. The sound of the bell startled you, making you look up at Adam, who sighed.
‘Sorry y/n, I gotta go, I have class. Let’s talk later, okay?’ he said, his face still wearing that same deeply concerned look, before he turned around and walked away, leaving you behind alone.
Tumblr media
‘Lino, I'm-’ you began. You had thought the whole day about how you were going to apologize to him, dreading your actions and cringing every time you thought back to it. As soon as you had arrived home you sped off to his room, hoping he’d be there already and that you’d be able to apologize to him. But before you could finish your sentence, Minho interrupted you.
‘When did you turn into such a little brat?’ he asked. To your surprise, his voice was calm, and even more so, teasing.
‘W-What?’ you sputtered, totally caught off guard. Minho folded his arms and leaned against the doorpost, looking down at you with that same almost degrading look he had given you at school.
‘I asked, since when you’ve turned into such a little brat,’ he repeated. The corners of his mouth were turned upwards and it was clear he was laying out a trap for you. His dark eyes gleamed and you couldn’t help but get sucked into them.
‘I’m not a brat!’ You said defensively, stepping into his obvious trap anyway. Irritated, you took a daring step towards him as you stared at him. The mocking look on his face only grew, a grin mixed with discontent and that same annoyance that you reflected.
‘You sure did look and sound like a brat when you yelled at me at school,’ Minho egged you on, digging the trap deeper and deeper. ‘Screaming at your professor like a crazy person, whipping out all kinds of accusations. Sounds like first-class brat behaviour to me,’ he said drawling. The tone of his voice was just another way he knew how to irk you. His pretty lips still curled in that disgusting mocking smirk.
‘I am not a brat!’ You repeated, but your defence was just as weak as the first time. Minho huffed mockingly and raised a brow.
‘Then what are you? Hm?’ He said, his voice suddenly raw, his tone almost stern as his eyes seemed to drill holes into yours.
‘I’m a goddess,’ you said intently, this time it was your turn to lift your chin and look at him challengingly. But he wasn’t intimidated.
‘Right,’ he said, suddenly returning to his degrading demeanour, looking down on you with that punchable expression. His long eyelashes fluttered as he stared at you almost disgusted. ‘A goddess who runs around, following a human boy like she is a puppy after her owner,’
These words were so unfair and such bullshit that you felt yourself exploding inside.
‘Excuse me?!’ You boomed, clenching your hands into fists and taking another step towards Minho, causing you to almost be toe to toe with him. ‘I do not follow Adam around at all! Besides, what I do and with whom is none of your business!’ You hissed.
‘Oh no?’ Minho said at a dangerously low tone. His face inches towards yours and you could feel your heartbeat fasten. His perfect nose was only inches away from yours now and you could count the long dark lashes surrounding his eyes. ‘Aren’t you our goddess? Or have you decided to become communal goods?’ He mocked.
With every word he had said he had dug you deeper and deeper into his pit. You were drowning. Furiously looking for words but too angry to find them. Instead, there was only the deep brown of his eyes. The long dark lashes surrounding them. The perfect straight nose that was almost touching yours. The soft pink lips that had already parted, his breath tasting sweet on your own lips that you had unknowingly parted too. Your head felt like it was spinning. With anger. With fury. With more than that. You wanted to punch him. To kick him. To kiss him. To feel his hands slide over your body, between your legs…
‘Lino!’ An annoyed voice came from the stairs, starting and waking you from your trance, making you step back. Minho didn’t move but still stared at you as the stomping on the stairs came closer.
‘There you are,’ a grumpy-looking Seungmin stepped into sight. Finally, Minho looked away from you and at his friend. "Weren't you on laundry duty yesterday?’ Seungmin asked, annoyed.
‘Yes,’ Minho spoke, his tone inscrutable.
‘Then why is my laundry basket still in the basement?’ Seungmin asked impatiently, clicking his tongue in annoyance.
‘Right,’ Minho said, and without another word he stepped out of his room, closing the door behind him and leaving for the stairs.
You stared after him gaping.
‘There’s a draft,’ Seungmin said coolly as he saw you staring. You quickly closed your mouth and straightened your back, meeting Seungmin's blue eyes. ‘Was he picking a fight again?’ Seungmin asked, his voice calmer now that Minho’s footsteps were out of earshot. Your jaw clenched involuntarily but it was all the answer Seungmin needed. ‘He’s quite the little shit lately,’ he said, looking over his shoulder at the place where Minho had descended the stairs. ‘Even Han is getting fed up with him,’ Seungmin sighed, shaking his head. He looked back at you. The blue of his eyes seemed to have quite the calming effect on you somehow and you could feel yourself calming down slightly. ‘Don’t mind him too much, okay?’ Seungmin spoke, his tone of voice soft now, sweet. ‘And tell me if he’s being an idiot again. I’ll spark his ass,’
Tumblr media
The next morning you had completely set your mind to apologizing to Minho. This time you would do it right after breakfast.
Although he had been a complete ass to you and his behaviour had been completely unreasonable, you had to admit, so had you. You had remembered the words Lady had said to you: they feel what you feel. You had been stressed, anxious, angry even, so it hadn’t been weird that he was as well. You rehearsed the apology over and over in your head. It would be short, sweet and clean. You’d give him your best puppy eyes, take his hand and smile your brightest smile at him. You knew him too well to know he wouldn’t be able to resist it.
But when you barged into the kitchen, determined, confident and looking for your mark – he wasn’t there.
Instead, Chan was sitting at the table, staring into nothingness. His hair was a mess and his face looked like he was still asleep. Changbin was sitting next to him, his head resting on his plate and his eyes closed with his mouth slightly agape. Clearly, he had fallen back asleep again. Clearly, the boys had had a rough night.
Seungmin was quietly sipping from his coffee while reading the morning newspaper. However, you noticed his eyes moved much slower than usual, clearly an indicator that he too was still quite tired. In the kitchen was Felix, heating up what smelled like waffles and softly humming to himself.
‘Where’s Lino?’ you asked, subconsciously lowering your voice for the sleeping Changbin.
‘Probably still asleep,’ Seungmin said in a tone that had a hint of bitterness. He was probably still angry with Minho about the way he had acted towards you yesterday.
‘Oh, good morning y/n,’ Felix said with a soft smile, turning towards you and facing you. He opened one of his arms for you, inviting you to a hug. You walked over to him and nestled yourself into his arm, looking at the pans he was handling. He was indeed warming up some waffles and had just started on the eggs. Felix planted a soft kiss on your forehead, filling you up with warmth. Something much needed.
‘Slept well?’ He asked in his soft low voice. You nodded into his chest, looking up at him. He had noticeable dark circles underneath his eyes.
‘You didn’t,’ you spoke with a slight pout, tracing your finger over the dark underneath his eyes. He gave you a soft smile but didn’t say anything. You watched him cook for a bit, still clinging to him while he continued humming softly until you started to notice you were making it more difficult for him too.
‘I’ll leave you to it,’ you told him, giving him one last squeeze, as you let go of him and walked over to the dining table. For the first time Chan looked up, Changbin still asleep beside him, now drooling onto his plate. He rubbed in his eyes for a moment tiredly before he scooted his chair back slightly, and getting the message, you went over to him to sit on his lap.
‘You look like shit,’ you whispered to him softly. He raised a tired eyebrow, his dark starry eyes meeting yours.
‘Thanks,’ he said with a soft scoff but he grinned tiredly, making you smile.
‘Good morning!’ Hyunjin's sing-songy voice came booming into your ears as he busted into the room. Within lightning speed, Chan had his arms wrapped around you protectively, almost completely hiding you in his arms. Changbin jerked awake with such a start that he knocked over the already set empty glasses, losing his balance from the chair and falling over. Even Seungmin, who seemed much more awake than any of the others, flinched visibly.
‘For fucks sake Hyunjin!’ Changbin swore angrily, quickly scrambling to his feet, ‘I almost set you on fucking fire!’ It was quite unlike Changbin to use so many swear words, especially around you.
‘Channie,’ You squealed, muffled by his body. He still had you pressed so tightly against his chest in his protective stance, that you could barely breathe.
‘Right,’ he said quickly, opening his arms slowly and carefully as if he was still on high alert. When you were freed from his grip, you took in a deep breath, laughing slightly under your breath as you exhaled.
‘What’s gotten your panties in a knot this morning, love?’ Hyunjin chuckled at Changbin, ignoring his angry muttering and foul looks as he went over to Felix to kiss him good morning.
‘Must be great being the God of Love, innit?’ Changbin growled as he sat back onto his chair again and let his hands rest sulkily on the table.
‘What does that have to do with anything?’ You asked, raising your brows and feeling like you missed something.
‘Trust me,’ Seungmin said dryly, a grim stare when you met his rain-coloured eyes, ‘you don’t wanna know.’ You looked up at Chan who closed his eyes and simply shook his head. Changbin still had a foul look on his face.
‘Oh come on,’ Hyunjin said cheerfully, ‘It’s gonna be a lovely day today I bet,’ he left Felix in the kitchen and walked over to Changbin, hugging him from behind and not letting go.
‘It’ll be raining all day,’ Seungmin said matter of factly, returning his attention to his newspaper. Hyunjin stuck out his tongue and rolled his eyes at him, but he didn’t notice.
‘Well, at least we’ll be having a lovely day, right y/n?’ Hyunjin said with a broad grin, petting Changbin’s hair.
‘Uh,’ you said, thinking and frowning. ‘Oh!’ you exclaimed suddenly realizing. ‘The tutoring session!’ you said genuinely enthusiastically.
‘Tutoring?’ Changbin asked, looking at you frowning while Hyunjin was still weaving his fingers through his hair, caressing it.
‘Yeah,’ you said happily, mindlessly playing with Chan’s fingers. ‘Jinnie’s gonna give me a crash course on art,’ you said happily.
‘Why?’ Changbin asked. Hyunjin let go of his hair and got up.
‘Because she actually cares about me and my interests,’ he said dramatically, rolling his eyes.
‘Don’t be like that, you know we care,’ Changbin said, slightly annoyed. Hyunjin clicked his tongue, flicking his beautiful pink hair over his shoulder and folding his arms. You knew it was all an act for him to get the attention he wanted.
‘Do I need to show you?’ Changbin said suddenly, standing up and a familiar mischievous grin on his face. Clearly, Changbin was awake now. Hyunjin suddenly looked at him warily. ‘Come here then, lemme show you how much we love you,’ he chuckled, suddenly diving at Hyunjin. Hyunjin shrieked and laughed, just being able to dodge Changbin and running off to the living room while being chased by him.
You could feel Chan sigh behind you and you let go of his fingers to look at his face. He still looked tired, but there was a soft smile on his face now. You could tell he gained a little more energy by seeing the boys play like they were now.
‘Yo Felix, are those waffles almost done? I’m starving mate,’ he asked, once more intertwining his fingers with yours, apparently not wanting you to let go.
‘Three more minutes!’ Felix said cheerfully from the kitchen. From his voice, you could tell that he too now had fully woken up and felt a little happier. You stared at Changbin chasing Hyunjin for a bit, threatening him with wet smooches and bone-crushing hugs. You looked to your side, noticing Seungmin had stopped reading his newspaper, looking over it to also watch the spectacle of the two boys playing, a smile on his face too.

GILBERT VON OBSIDIAN EVENT STORY....
Tumblr media
EPILOGUE.
The True Love of Beauty and the Beast.
translations are not 100% accurate. expect mistakes.
spoilers from gilbert's route.
trigger warning: smut.
minors and ageless blogs dni.
The nickname "Gil" was also familiar in the old days.
The name my brother and mother often called me had a special warmth to it, and I loved it even as a child.
Tumblr media
However, there is no family in this world who calls me "Gil" anymore.
I had to force a wounded boy I picked up at Rhodolite to call me "Gil",
As he grew up, he rarely called me by that name.
(I thought I'd never hear someone call the trampling beast by its nickname again.)
(It was a symbol of family for me.)
Tumblr media
Emma: Gil……
And yet, Emma, who has become my official fiancée, calls me with that nickname.
There are some awkwardness, but I have not heard "Gil" in a long time,
It was so full of happiness that my heart seemed to melt.
(This is bad…..when Emma calls me "Gil," it's like I'm not myself anymore.)
The bane of the world, the trampling beast, the man who has terrorized the entire continent in this way,
The mere mention of my nickname in bed makes me want to bury my face in my pillow.
I couldn't do that, so I just covered Emma’s lips with mine.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Can you say it again?
Emma:….When you’re urging me like that, it’s difficult.
Gilbert: Just say it naturally.
(It’s your fault for giving the bad guys a good bait, you see?)
I pushed Emma onto the sheets and bit into the skin through her jet-black dress.
I avoided kissing her lips so that she could call my name at any time, and I slowly made more and more bite marks.
(…..I've got time today, and I'm not going to make you feel better right away.)
Flicking my tongue over the bite marks, avoiding the places where Emma’s body is pleasurable.
Emma: Aahhh, Lord Gilbert——
Gilbert: You’ve said it wrong, you know?
(You're the one who wanted to get to know me better.)
Emma:…It's hard to say that without being aware of it.
Emma: Not to mention, I’m…embarrassed.
Gilbert: Then let's practice until you get used to it, okay?
Gilbert: Come on, I'll make love to you until the end of the night, just like you wanted.
Emma:….I don't want——
Gilbert: No?
Emma:…….
(I like that you don't shy away from denying it, Emma.)
Tumblr media
Gilbert: I'll make you feel good every time you can call me that. But if you can't do that——
I lightly pressed her breasts against the top of her black dress.
I tried tickling her many times, but everything seemed to be blocked by the dress,
Emma began to sway her body in frustration.
Gilbert: Shall we do this forever?
Emma:…..Gil.
(I can't stand it. ….Hehe, I'm sure I'll hear a lot of names today.)
As promised, I pulled down her dress and bit into the swollen spot where she wanted to be touched.
While repeating such a games, before I knew it, the color of the sky had changed——
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Gilbert:…Night came early, isn’t it?
(I got carried away too.)
I removed my eyepatch and looked down at Emma, who was lying helplessly in the darkness with no lights on.
The sheets were so stained that it was a good thing I had taken off her dress during the day.
(All I did was chew and lick and tease her for a long time, and she turned out like this.)
I’ve been teasing her and making her feel good….her body has been twitching and aching just a while ago.
Gilbert: After all that love, you still can't get enough?
A quick stroke between her legs caused Emma to shriek and jump up.
Emma: Aah…Lord Gilbert…..
Tumblr media
(….You’re stiff.)
Gilbert: I'm not going to stop you like that, okay?
Emma: Gil……
Gilbert: Even if you fix your mistakes, I won't stop as well.
(How many times are we going to repeat the same mistakes? I'm not used to it at all.)
I hugged Emma from behind and put my hands around her waist to prevent her from escaping.
Tears trickled down the corners of Emma’s eyes as I deliberately stirred the surface between her legs.
Gilbert: Don't cry.
Emma: Nn…I can't...my body is already….
Emma: Everywhere you touched me was.…weird…..
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Hmm.
Emma: Ah...ahhh….
I slipped my finger deep inside and started stirring again.
I stirred the hot and tender spot until I almost got burned, but I stopped when I heard Emma’s sweet voice.
Gilbert: I'll stop being mean to you when your awkwardness goes away.
Emma: Gil…..
Gilbert: That’s still not up to par, because it's more like you’re "trying too hard to say it first," right?
Emma:….It's tough.
Gilbert: I'm also in a good mood. I'll make you stop using honorifics soon, okay?
(I'm royalty, but I don't want you to be the only one who sees me that way.)
Emma:….I'll get used to it….little by little.
Gilbert: Wouldn't it be better if you called me Gil even in public?
Emma:….No.
Gilbert: Is it no good?
Emma: That’s right.
(I was told more clearly than I expected. I'm a little disappointed.) // (You said it more flatly than I thought. I’m a little disappointed.)
When I took a blatant breath, Emma, who only turned her face, laughed softly.
Emma: Lord Gilb—— Gil, I don't want anyone to see that relaxing face of yours.
(Relaxing face…?)
(……)
(….I wonder if I am. Because it's true that I got carried away)
Even without looking in the mirror, it was easy to imagine that my face was far from that of a trampling beast.
(And not for such a cute reason. .....)
Emma: I see….you've transferred your jealousy to me as well.
Emma’s languid yet joyful smile made my cruel feelings blow away.
Gilbert: Hehe, compared to me, you're not even close.
Gilbert: You should be so jealous that you want to kill everything around you.
Emma:….If you treat me with jealousy like that, the country will perish.
Gilbert: But that means, we can be alone in the true sense, right?
Emma:…..
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Ahaha, just kidding.
Gilbert:….For now.
Emma: Please keep joking. // Please keep up with your jokes.
Gilbert: I suppose it's up to you.
We laugh at each other, and then our lips meet in an involuntarily closer view.
We've been flirting for a while now, but it’s been a long time since we’ve kissed.
(I'm at my wits end, so I'll call it a night.)
(….I got her to call me Gil 49 times, so I guess that's good enough for me.)
I made Emma, who was dazed by the afterglow of the kiss, sit on my lap facing each other as I penetrated her body
I felt like I was going to lose consciousness because I had endured it all this time.
(But Emma doesn't seem to be able to afford more.)
Tears fall from the corners of Emma’s eyes again as I rock my hips.
Emma: Nnhh….ahh…Gil….
Gilbert: Hehe….50 times now.
Emma: Haa….what……
Gilbert: Nothing.
When I embrace Emma, I am enveloped by the sweet scent that is unique to the night.
Tumblr media
I felt a strong clinging to my shoulder and her fingernails digging into my shirt.
(I've…. lost everyone who called me "Gil" once, Emma.)
(But I will not lose you by any means necessary.)
The shackles of engagement and the chains of love.
I’ll tie you up so you don't leave me forever…..
The engagement ceremony and the only obsidian rose ring worn by the naked Emma are all part of that.
(….But there were some miscalculations.)
(It was supposed to be an engagement ceremony for me to tie you up…..)
(Every time you call my name, I feel like I'm more tied to you than you are to me.)
(I wonder which one of us is bound to another….?)
