tag rant on more mutualism stuff
#im still stuck on the whole idea of mutuals#like as a concept it’s just so interesting. people who aren’t quite friends but like to see into the world of another and maybe interact#with it#like for me i’ve never been in a discord or had any real conversations with my mutuals. idk why but it just hasn’t really happened#but like for me im looking at these people who say they want to be a part of my world too even if we don’t really know each other and that’s#one of the coolest things I’ve ever heard of#like. okay i learned that mutual circles are a thing but im not really in one of those#im mutuals with mike a couple people from a few different mutual circles#which mutual circles kinda confuse me because that just sounds like a friend group but I’ve also never been in one so idk#ANYWAY i get the pleasure of seeing into so many different spaces and seeing so many different people with the knowledge that they’re#interested in what i have to say too. we may never talk but i’ll see an rb or a like from someone and#it’s just so sick to know that there are people out there who would want to interact with my stuff#and it’s different from a non-mutual because you know that that feeling of interest is mutual#i have two or three mutuals i semi converse with through posts and the way that spread to mutual in laws#there are so many worlds overlapping in so many different ways when it comes to mutuals#and obviously everyone has their own definition of this concept and what a mutual actually is#im not always sure where i stand with people and how im supposed to interact with them if we’ve barely interacted beyond likes and stuff#but it’s still so cool?????#and then some of you guys are actually talking and having conversations and you create these massive conversative posts and im kinda just in#awe of the fact that that happens. people find each other and create things like that constantly and it’s fucking amazing#i don’t really know how to or if im even supposed to be making connections like that but im definitely stunned by it#having someone to share your ideas with and bouncing off each other? it’s insane to watch#i cannot fathom what that’s like but it just seems so so cool#and that’s not me begging for pity points but i literally just don’t know if i’d be capable of doing that so it’s cool to see#and im being ALLOWED to see that. encouraged to see it even#im not a part of it but im allowed to exist in that space too#mutuals man. fucking wild as hell#you guys have no idea how cool i think you all are

SORRY NOT SORRY I SKIPPED OVER LIKE 6 OTHER REQUESTS BC I NEED TO WRITE THIS ANGSTY BLITZ REQUEST IMMEDIATELY ITS TOO GOOD IM SO- 😳🥺 I just wanna hold him…enjoy, anon~
Notes: imp!reader, gn!reader, not an established relationship but mutual crushing and pining, reader works at IMP, angst to fluffy comfort
Blitzø x reader- Bad Day 💔
Tumblr media
Blitz had the shittiest shit day ever and was ready to fall asleep and stay asleep forever. Between feeling excluded and lonely after seeing Millie and Moxxie’s displays of affection during dinner at Ozzie’s, then Fizz and Verosika giving him shit in front of the entire restaurant and Stolas being disgustingly clingy as always, Blitz felt himself breaking down, deteriorating from the inside out. It really stuck with him when he heard a restaurant patron shout, “YOU’RE SLEEPIN’ WITH AN IMP?” when referring to him and Stolas. What an embarrassment for both of them. He already has a very low self-esteem and that comment just solidified all his intrusive thoughts- no matter who he’s with, how successful he becomes, how much money he has, he’ll always be just an imp.
Blitzø stumbled through the front door of his apartment, rapidly proceeding to Loona’s room with a small smile. His precious girl always cheers him up, even when she’s in a bad mood…which is always. At the exact moment he sees the note on her door saying that she is out at a party, his smile drops to a disappointed frown. With the upper half of his body hunched over, his arms dangling limply by his sides, he trudges over to the couch and collapses on it with a huff.
This feeling was way too overwhelming- he felt suffocated by his clothes, pushed around and beaten by his own mind. He felt defeated and had no idea how to get himself out of this state of mind. He pulls out his phone to scroll through some pictures, maintaining his lonely frown the whole time. Blitz rolls his eyes at an old pic of him and Verosika. Then, he finds himself looking at a photo of his mom, sister and him, so happy, so close. After only seconds of looking into the picture, all his feelings unexpectedly erupt from him. The tears forced their way to the surface, gushing down his red and white cheeks. His chest felt like it was gonna cave in any second now, his lungs forgetting how to breath calmly.
“Fuck…” He chokes out while tossing his phone aside and sprawling out over the couch. He couldn’t hold it in anymore. He couldn’t stop the tears from welling up and overflowing, he couldn’t slow his breaths, he couldn’t even open his eyes they felt so swollen already. He had never felt so alone before. Laying on his stomach with his wet, snotty face in the pillows, he completely lets loose. A guttural, miserable, shaky moan leaves him as he weeps, his fists clenching around nothing in particular.
Just as he sucks in a quivering gasp of air, the sound of the front door opening caused him to hold his breath and stay completely still. “Blitz?” Fuck…of all people to walk in on him during his pathetic mental breakdown, why you? He’s literally praying that you’ll just go away but he knows you won’t, you’ll keep looking until you find him. He knows this, but he stays hidden and silent on the couch until you finally walk around and see him.
“Blitz? Whats wrong? What happened?” Stepping over to him quickly then kneeling on your knees beside him, he seems to retreat even further away. Blitz scoots into the couch more, turning his head away from you as he exhales then inhales and then holds it again. “Are you okay?” Obviously, he’s not okay but he nods his head anyways. “You can talk to me, Blitz.” Finally, he lets out all the air he was holding in. “I don’t wanna fucking talk right now.” He manages to mutter out between hiccups and sniffles. “Oh…okay.” Your voice a soft whisper now, Blitz again finds his hands balled up into tight fists, his fingers digging deeply into his palms. Dammit…he did mean to snap at you.
But instead of abandoning him, you shimmy your way onto the couch next to him, one arm coming to wrap around his torso as you lay your head against his back. You can hear everything with your ear to his back- his shaky breathing, his soft whimpers he’s trying so hard to hold back. “We don’t have to talk. We can just…lay here. I’m with you, okay?” You pull him closer, his back up against your stomach as you give him a gentle squeeze.
He tried so fucking hard to conceal it, to play it off in front of you, he really did but he lost it again, crumbling apart right in your arms. After hearing the sweet words of reassurance you offered him and the way your hand was now rubbing slowly across his heaving chest and the way you didn’t leave him…he can’t help but let it all out. Blitz softly shakes against you, making your heart ache for him. You’ve seen him in so many different moods and different situations, in so many silly costumes and you’ve heard some pretty vile things leave his mouth but you’ve never seen him like this. He was an absolute mess.
Slowly and carefully, you scoot closer, fitting your knees perfectly in the back of his. With a slight hum and one hand still rubbing his chest, you close your eyes as you rest against his back still. “Is there anything I can do for you?” Softly, you speak as Blitz exhales deeply once again. “Anything you need, just say the word.” Your hand stops the rubbing of his chest as you take a moment to squeeze him again.
“Don’t leave me…” With a crack in his voice, Blitz finally responds before curling in on himself even more. “I’m not going anywhere, promise.” As you nuzzle your cheek against his back. Your reply calms him, allowing his body to finally soften into your embrace. Together, you lay like this for a while, finding comfort in the sound of each other’s breathing.
Eventually, Blitz weakly turns himself around to reveal his somewhat improved mood. His eyes are puffy and glossy but the tears had stopped. His frown is a nasty one, one of the worst you’ve ever seen him wear but his eyes show a hint of something more positive as well- a look of hope? admiration? appreciation? Now facing you and looking at your face right there in front of him, hope, admiration and appreciation all swelled within him. He felt so lucky to have you, as an employee, as a friend… and maybe you two would be more one day. Maybe more…today? Right now?
“Do you think I’m… just a stupid imp? That I’ll always be seen as just an imp?” He can’t bring himself to look at you now, eyes scanning the ceiling instead. “Do you think I’m just a stupid imp? Is that all you see me as?” You immediately reply, watching as he starts to over analyze the situation. “No, no, of course not. You’re…fucking awesome.” His eyes land on your face for a second before they shift back to the ceiling. “So are you, boss.” Blitz scoffs lightly at your words, giving you a disapproving glare. “No! Really! I mean it, Blitz.” A soft sigh comes from him and he’s having a hard time believing your words.
“It’s gonna be okay.” You say with a light hearted tone and a small smile. Gently, teasingly you reach up to his face and use your thumbs to pull the corners of his mouth up into a smile. “Awww! There he is, there’s my guy!” As you pull your hands away, a smile finds your face as you notice his smile doesn’t fall, he’s smiling for real now. It’s not a big smile, honestly it’s barely a smile at all but it’s something. It’s better than the horrible frown he had on earlier.
“You sure you don’t wanna talk about it?” You ask cautiously, not wanting to upset him anymore. “I’m sure.” His reply is immediate and short, making you stay quiet after. Instead of using your voice, you go back to comforting him physically. With one hand on his cheek again, cupping his face this time, Blitz leans forward to rest his forehead against yours. Simultaneously, you both close your eyes and let out a deep breath.
As you let your thumb trace back and forth over the skin of his cheek, Blitz opens his eyes again and takes this chance to just stare down at you, at your eyelashes, at your skin and any little scars or blemishes that decorate it, at your lips as they part momentarily to suck in a breath. Without thinking it over, he kisses you. It’s quick, not necessarily soft because he came in kind of fast but it wasn’t hard or sloppy or anything like that. It was sort of a test of the waters for Blitz. He wanted much more than a measly peck from you but he didn’t want go all in on you and scare you off or weird you out.
To his surprise, before he can get a good look at your reaction, you’re chasing his face as he pulls away. As you lean forward, a shocked ‘mmm’ rumbles from Blitzø’s throat when your lips meet his again. This time, the kiss lasts longer. It remains sweet and simple, there’s no tongue, no spit or even much movement from your mouths at all. After locking lips for a few seconds, you part to finally look at each other. Your smiles mock each other’s, both growing bigger and bigger.
This isn’t at all how either of you imagined your first kiss together. Blitz had something more rough and dirty in mind but he’s beyond grateful that you still respect him after seeing him in such a lowly position. You’re not sure what comes over him as he stares at your lips but he confidently yanks you back into him, kissing you again.
With his mouth still covering most of your own, he mumbles, “Earlier, you said anything I need and now I need you.” The kiss is deepened by Blitz carefully moving his lips against yours, both your heads tilting to find the perfect position. His hands roam up and down your back at an extremely slow pace as his mouth follows along, moving in tandem with yours.
“Yes, sir.”
And the rest of the evening is spent gently coddling and lovingly appreciating each other at such a close range. The kissing lasts so long, that eventually you’re both just lazily pecking each other on the lips over and over and over again with closed eyes and relaxed limbs. It’s nice, it’s simple yet romantic and Blitz has never felt more safe or comfortable in his entire existence.
“And if you tell anyone about this, I’ll kill you.”
“No, you won’t.”
“You’re right, I won’t. But please don’t tell anyone.”
“I won’t. I promise.”

late summer lovin’
Tumblr media
description: you desperately want to spend your last summer here in town with your friends, only to find out almost all of them are away on vacation. that is, all of them but heeseung. the one friend you’d never really been that close with.
pairing: heeseung x gn reader (fluff, non idol)
wc: ≈ 1.5k
warnings&tags: lowercase intended, didn’t proofread, teensy angst?, kissing under stars, spending summer with heeseung, friends to kinda lovers, short one shot, pool scene, kinda shy and awkward hee, fluff, gender neutral reader, self insert, y/n.
note: this is the first time im releasing a lowercase and barely proofread work simply because i just didn’t have the time, but i wanted to get this small idea out! hopefully you guys still like it. :)
✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼
(preview…)
it was the last summer you’d have in this town before you had to move away for college. you had just graduated and were feeling freer than you ever had before. you decided that nothing was going to stop you from enjoying this summer and that you’d enjoy it to the fullest.
what a better way to spend this summer than with your closest friends? but almost all of your friends were away for the summer on vacation with their families.
except heeseung. the one you were the least close to.
(end of preview)
✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼
it was the last summer you’d have here in this old familiar town before you had to move away for college. you had just graduated and were feeling freer than you ever had felt before. no more restrictions and limits. just finally time to enjoy the world around you.
time. you finally had time. it’s the one thing you had been craving for the entirety of your just gone school year.
you decided that nothing was going to stop you from enjoying this summer and that you’d spend every moment of it to the fullest. you’d do things that made you uncomfortable just to get out of your zone, try new things, and just enjoy it all.
what a better way to spend this summer than with your closest friends? to you, there was no better way. so that’s exactly what you wanted to do.
however a boundary quickly came your way. almost all of your friends were working or just too busy to do the things you wanted to do, and if they weren’t busy they were away for the summer on vacation with their families.
except heeseung.
within your whole friend group, heeseung was the one you were the least close to. you had met each other through your mutual friends a year ago, but had only ever talked and hung out when everyone else was there.
recently, your friend group had gone on a trip to the capital for a day since it was just a few hours drive away. you had all spent the day together, the majority of it crammed up in the back of jays car. you were stuck in the middle, squished between jungwon and heeseung. at first it was awkward as you could physically feel your sides up against them, but if you were being honest, being crammed up like that only brought you and heeseung closer that day- physically and emotionally.
you spent the long car journey talking and joking since you were sat next to each other. it quickly started getting more comfortable between the two of you. so comfortable, that on the way home you and heeseung had fell asleep with your heads leaning on each other- to which you were painfully reminded of it every second after you had woken up to your friend jake teasing the pair of you, and showing you the pictures he had taken while you were asleep.
after that day, you and heeseung had been texting each other more often.
now, just a month later, you were the only two of your friends that were left in town for the summer.
you impulsively decided to try and make some plans with heeseung, since you’d rather spend time with him than waste the summer away alone. even if it was awkward.
to your surprise, he agreed with no hesitation.
this was the first time you would hang out together, just the two of you. of course, at first it was awkward as hell.
it was a simple summer day, simple plans, nothing too out there. you and heeseung had decided to go to the local pool because the hot sunny temperature was ridiculous to be out in.
if heeseung was being honest, he was so nervous about hanging out, he had over prepared before he got there. it was as if he was going on a date- which he wasn’t. he struggled to think of conversation to make with you for a while. though, he eventually forgot about how anxious he was as he saw you having fun and laughing at his random jokes he had cracked out of nerves.
he couldn’t help but pay more attention to your smile than usual. maybe it was just the way the sun reflected off the pool water onto your face, but it was pretty on you, and your laugh was addicting to listen to. that was the real reason he was being extra funny today.
he shook it off and decided to just splash you with the water. maybe it would rinse away whatever he was feeling right now looking at you.
as time went on, the sun hid behind clouds and sudden shade loomed over the pool. it got a bit chilly; it was relieving for those who weren’t in the water- which was now getting significantly colder. you started to visibly shiver. heeseung immediately noticed and swam over to you.
“y/n, are you okay?” he was concerned.
“yeah, it just got a bit cold,” you complained.
“here,” heeseung grabbed onto you, pulling you closer to him, his arms wrapped around your waist, your legs wrapped around his own waist. he carried you slowly through the water, leading you to the ladder.
“let’s get out now before you get hypothermia or something.”
and so you did both get out, but now you felt a lot warmer, and not because of the towel heeseung was sweetly wrapping you in, but because your love language was acts of service and for some reason what he had just done hit a soft spot in you momentarily. it had been physically the closest you’d ever been to him.
after you had both finished getting changed separately, you decided to go out and eat. the food was definitely needed after such a long swim.
heeseung watched you eat quite passionately and let out a soft giggle.
you looked at him and paused, quite offended, “what?”
“you look like a little chipmunk right now,” he ruffled your hair.
“ew? are you trying to give me the ick?” you rolled your eyes.
“calm down alvin,” heeseung mumbled under his breath, causing you two to bicker for a while.
that evening as you lay in your bed, you could only help but think of the day you had spent with heeseung. you stared at your ceiling with a smile. hanging out with heeseung alone wasn’t that bad, in fact you kind of enjoyed it more than when you were both with your other friends. you pulled out your phone and shot him a message.
let’s do it again tomorrow?
how about we just spend the entire summer together?
and you both held yourselves to that. many burning days went by of a similar manner, laughs, jokes, blushing, unintended flirting. quality time spent together, just getting to know one another more and more. you enjoyed each other’s company. it felt right. maybe you were destined to be best friends this whole time.
you spent the summer going to each other’s places, watching movies, cooking and baking together, dancing around, playing video games, self care nights, stargazing, cloud watching, going to the pool, going on food runs, doing shopping fashion shows, just being around each other.
you grew inseparable, the most iconic duo of the summer.
you were glad summer was going how you had wanted it to. you enjoyed each day so much, you had forgotten how fast it would end.
on your final night in town, you and heeseung had gone on one last night drive. the night felt so surreal. it didn’t feel like the last night you’d be here like this.
you watched out the car window, breeze brushing your face, the prominent smell of night (if that made sense). you and heeseung just sat in silence with music playing, embracing the nostalgic kinda vibe moment. it felt like those scenes in coming of age movies you watched.
before heeseung pulled up to your house for the final time, he decided to take the long way home- stopping in a random parking lot.
you didn’t question it, in fact you actually didn’t mind at all. you wanted as much time as you could get with him left. you’d grown so attached to his presence, you weren’t quite sure how you were going to deal without it now.
the movers had already been and taken all your stuff, so it was more entertaining to be out of the house anyway, and you didn’t really feel like going back.
heeseung looked over to you, “i just want to thank you. because of you i’ve had the best summer there could’ve been.”
“don’t thank me,” you began, “thank you for agreeing to spend it with me. i’m glad we spoke more individually.”
you both smiled and sat quietly again for a while, music humming quietly from the car radio.
“oh look at the stars!” he explained excitedly, pointing to the window.
“do you think that one is a constellation?” you pointed as well, joining in.
“maybe,” heeseung laughed “that one kind of looks angry.”
“how can a star look angry?”
heeseung shrugged and looked at you.
you snorted, “you’re stupid.”
he smiled.
“i’m gonna miss this,” you finally admitted, avoiding eye contact.
silence. it was silent for a moment. it made you look at him again, wondering why he had not said anything at all.
he was already looking at you, actually looking kind of sad and conflicted. he said nothing still. you blushed slightly from the long eye contact.
that’s when something changed. the moment that if you would have told yourself from a few months ago about, you’d laugh at yourself. no way would that happen. but it did. heeseung reached over to you, pulling you in by the chin, and he had impulsively kissed you.
that definitely took you by surprise, but who were you to complain?
heeseung had pulled back and hesitated for a moment, worried that he had forgotten to ask first. you pulled him back in almost instantly, because something in you had secretly been wanting this for a while now.
you hadn’t told him, but over the time that you had spent together you began to develop some strong romantic feelings.
little did you know, so had heeseung.
you had both kept it from each other because of the simple fact you were moving away and starting anything serious now would be problematic. neither of you would believe the other would ever like you back anyway. how wrong you both were.
you had always raved on about how happy you’d be to leave this small town behind, but now you had something special attached to it.
part of you felt disappointed and angry that you had left it so late to finally get close like this. it felt like you had wasted so much time- but how could you have known what special connection awaited between you? this was never planned, but then again the most precious things never were.
heeseung couldn’t take it anymore.
if he was going to confess at all, he would confess now, even through just a small action- because he felt like he was losing you tonight. he wasn’t sure when he’d see you again and he knew he would regret it if he didn’t act now. everything in him urged him to be close to you, protect you, hold you, kiss you, but he couldn’t tell you in words. he felt selfish for it, knowing you’d be gone tomorrow.
“i’ll miss this too,” heeseung finally said through a short pause, immediately meeting your lips again and holding you tight under the stars.
✼  ҉  ✼  ҉  ✼

GET TO KNOW THE MUN
Tumblr media
NAME?: Kai
PRONOUNS?: she/her/they
PREFERENCE OF COMMUNICATION?: I don't care as long as you talk to me tbh. IMs is a great place to start and then once we have a ship, i'll be in all your business on all platforms.
MOST ACTIVE MUSE(S)?: helios, giselle, antonio... and honestly, i wish i was writing more of them, more often. 🥺
EXPERIENCE / HOW MANY YEARS?: okay i have to really think and it's a bit fuzzy... because i think... well i was writing by the time i started university in 2009, on a forum for Super Junior. I wrote fanfiction before that in about 2008? i don't need a calculator i will not be looking at how many years that is...
BEST EXPERIENCE? oft hard to answer, i have both so many and the world's most appalling memory. the excitement of any budding new ship is truly what keeps me going, but i do remember one in particular with a bar tender muse of mine and a 'straight' firefighter that just... oh it was good. then more recently it would be meeting @okajibana and forming my whole existence around her, you're stuck with me now! plus every time i get a notification from @irrwicht or @temporalobjects my day is always improved.
RP PET PEEVES?: ohhh it's possibly going to get me some hate, and look, if it works for you? you go boo... but it's greeting starters. they're usually one liners and someone has maybe picked a muse of yours but then they fling it out there, and i'm like... what do i do with that? there's no setting, there's no context, it's maybe a bit of dialogue and i'm cut adrift to try and work out what to do with it? that for me is not fun. i have added it to my rules that i don't want them but i still get them and... i feel so bad ignoring them, but also am too awkward to be like, hey, have this back and maybe plot with me? i will plot with anyone and i will hype your ideas to the moon and back but, a throw away one liner... i can't do nothing with. (and listen, maybe i'm the problem! everyone else seems happy!) also small text is nice to look at and it's easy to add now! js...
FLUFF, ANGST, OR SMUT? i feel like if i said anything other than smut, online pals from the rafters would scream for me to be real. imma be real with you, this is a smut blog wrapped up in fancy wrapping that makes it seem like i'm here for the plot... i'm here for the d-! jk i'm happy to be here i will write anything... smut tho...
PLOTS OR MEMES?: plots i'm just good at memes. if we have a ship, use me for drabbles that's all i'm saying.
LONG OR SHORT REPLIES?: long. i have a rule about mutually agreed lengths because i can't with just one paragraph that doesn't go anywhere im sorry! i find short replies so unsatisfying and maybe i'm a demanding bitch idk.
TIME TO WRITE?: i try for an hour or two every week day evening GMT. i do my business, then i get into bed and work through my drafts. usually can't do weekends cuz the bf is all up here demanding my attention and shit. ugh men.
ARE YOU LIKE YOUR MUSE(S)?: yeah lol every bit of clown foolery, where they do or say dumb shit, is me. some of them are know it alls like me (looking at you alistair), some of them are dumb like me... giselle... some of them open their mouth and say shit and then go, oops, like me, heather, cory omg...
tagged by: @irrwicht and @temporalobjects (MY BABEESSSS)

No pressure but like. If you wanted an excuse to talk more about your ocs' (hypothetical) Pokémon (teams). This is it oooo ooo
(<- would really like to hear more if you have ideas for what mons your ocs would have bc I seem to now be so in love with the concept) (but no pressure)
Oh Beetle, you know me all too well and you just know I will absolutely talk more about random Pokémon on this blog. Here we have the Solar Years guys and their mons !
BALTAZAR (They don't have a main type because they're just a farmer, but back in their elite 5 days they were probably grass/dragon)
- Torterra [It's just a big fuggin lad !!!! A huge guy !!! It's nice and steady and good for a guy who's lived in a farm for most of their life. I like to think they would let kids ride it around too :]]
- Tangrowth [Its a huge guy with crazy hair. I just can see Balt with a Pokemon like this so clearly its insane. I love this Pokémon too so ofc im giving it to my favorite little guy !!!]
- Salamence [Probably was the symbol of his old elite 5 team, but once that crashed and burned.... yeah, they don't like talking too much about it. This guy brings back bitter memories, but Balt does his best to separate them from the team itself. Its better for both of them.]
- Haxorous (shiny) [Same as salamence, but even more so. It makes Balt feel bad that he ever put these poor guys in harm's way by battling with them as hard as he did, but he already apologized like a thousand times for it so they already forgiven him don't worry. Honestly probably a huge baby, given Hax was given to him when he was young <3 they grew up together !!]
- Leavanny [I just think Baltazar deserves a buddy okay !!! Its a silly little lady !!! Also Sewaddle is adorable and I love the idea of Balt finding a grub in their garden and taking care of it instead of throwing it out okay. Grab that Grub]
LUIS (ice/fighting or ice/dark. Are you surprised that the angry ice guy is angry and ice. Probably training to be elite 5, and getting pretty fucking close to it)
- Walrein [This is Luis' starter simply because I just think the Vibes are fit. Probably just picked up a spheal in his youngin days and it stayed with him forever !... this sounds a lot sadder now, huh..]
- Sneasel -> Weaville [Angry and competitive little fellow with a fondness for stealing ? Why, that's just exactly like Luis !! He didn't even have to try to catch this guy, it just showed up one day and then stuck around because Luis kept giving it bacon bits. Now they're the bestest smuggest buddies...together ♡]
- Annihalape [No surprise here huh. This Pokémon follows literally the same premise as Luis' whole story: Got so fucking mad it dies and comes back wrong. Luis saw this Pokémon for the first time and is like you just like me fr (takes good care of it to project)]
- Krookodile [It has cool ass sunglasses and it kicks a whole lot of ass on the battlefield. Luis gets it primarily for aesthetics but secondarily for its sheer power. More than happy to kill for any of his mons but especially this guy]
ANDROMEDA (Fairy/Fire gym trainer !)
- Volcarona [That's her starter right here. It slays cunt and its also a gorgeous little thing !! Just like xem fr fr !!]
- Flareon [Matches with Sylveon because they were from the same litter ! Evolved to keep Andromeda safe because this fuckin idiot keeps getting himself in situations and shit. Extremely defensive of everything but mainly because of the first thing- just a really well trained guard dog that forgot how to have fun. Still very soft and silly]
- Sylveon [Matches with Flareon because they're from the same litter ! LOVES Andromeda to death and it is absolutely mutual ! Most spoiled ever !!! Also insanely brutal. don't worry about it though 🙏]
- Alcremie [Just a sweet lil thang. I like to think this one is mostly for aesthetics but its still really well cared for]
MARSH (FIRE FIRE FIRE FIRE FIYAAAAHHH]
- Quilava [Starter Pokémon. I think the angry looking and explosive personality just sold it to him. He wants to evolve it SO bad but they're both still working on it.]
- Houndour [Its a fire ouppy... he has to have the fire ouppy. They're both young and growing up together but they'll both be the most destructive hounds ever just you fuckin' wait <3]

i learned some insane shit about my ex best friend that made me absolutely sick. im so glad i disconnected from her when i did. this girl was legitimately personally invested in being the arbiter of my downfall. the lengths the went to try to ruin my reputation is insane, especially because it just ruined hers in the long run, and cost her a career. after i disengaged i went to therapy to heal the trauma these people had put me through, and she was sitting around circle jerking with my old friends about how awful i was. i was almost murdered, i had drugs pushed on me, i was the butt of every joke, slut-shamed for things i didnt even do, and all i wanted was friends. it's just so fucked up the lengths some people will go to try to ruin your life just because they're jealous and insecure. it literally came down to seething jealousy, but i never saw it that way because my self-esteem was so shattered. i didn't think it was possible for somebody to be jealous of me.. this girl tried to sabotage every single relationship i had while we were friends. every. single. one. and we became friends at 12 years old. she has slept with the majority of my exes. at some point i thought it was a coincidence, but the more ive heard the more disgusted i am that somebody i trusted and cared for would go out of their way to do so much damage in my life. i barely talked about her after i cut ties. we still have mutual friends (the ones who stuck around have no idea what she did to me because i didn't bother telling them-- it's futile to talk about people, i didnt want to give her my attention.) im just so happy i left that "friend" group when i did, because if one of them didn't kill me i would have done it myself. she tried to contact me a few years ago, but i ignored her message. at a point, ive forgiven her for so many horrific things she'd put me through and said to me. some of these things were so unforgivable, i seriously just can't risk being the target of all of this again. i was the child in my family that people liked to put down, and i also had to put up with it at school. for how much shit i was put through i was honestly such a positive kid. i did do and say some things i really regret when i was a teenager, for the amount of pain i was carrying around with me, i did really well for myself.
after revisiting that part of my life with new eyes, im so grateful for my friends i have right now. all id ever wanted in my whole life was friends who just wanted to spend time with me, and i finally have it at nearly 28 years old. i moved to the city ive dreamt of since i was a kid, and i met a bunch of people who genuinely care about my well-being, and will actually do things like bring soup when im sick, remember me on my birthday, defend me when im not around, and they honestly are just decent, lovely people who want to see me do well. and i want that for them too! it's an empty part of my life that ive felt missing for so long, its hard to properly explain to these people how much they've changed me and my outlook (in SUCH a positive way). my situation isn't ideal right now-- but it is temporary, and despite the things ive seen and been through, and that im just out of a fresh break-up, im in a really happy part of my life. and i appreciate that beyond words.

Ch 21 of Black Hats!!! Crying screaming throwing up I love it mwuah
Def guilty of reading it with one sided undertones lmfao Czcibor’s whole tragedy really gets me, but also his capital-O-Obsession with Mlynar. I love grown men and their weird little relationships
Even outside of shipping really makes me think of a -not really so- better world where he might’ve gone a similar route to Toland and Mlynar and went “this place just isn’t worth trying to save” and joined up with Toland/Rhodes
Cue the Nearl girls’ reactions of “oh god there’s two of them” *points to Czcibor and Toland following around Mlynar like he’s some kind of mental enrichment stuck in their zoo cage*
HAHA OMG THANK YOU it felt really good to write.
while not authorially intended i think czcibor having a one-sided weird little Thing for mlynar is a really fun idea and an excellent space to play in. clearly he has a lot of emotions about the guy. and there's something to the idea that mlynar is the reason he's still alive and mlynar is the reason he finally dies. i think he and toland both have feelings like crazy about mlynar but they're doing it in completely different ways and mlynar is like. please. im just some fucking guy. but he isn't.
to be clear, while i think it would have been one sided, i don't think mlynar didn't care about czcibor at all, just that like. 1. he met toland first 2. he's got a relatively low self-esteem, so, he's dense too. i think he wouldn't have tried so much to spare czcibor's life at the end of obscure wanderer if he didn't want czcibor to be saveable. it's unfortunately, his friend who didn't want to be saved in the first place. there's a reason that i think that his skill use 4 line is primarily about his emotions about killing czcibor. though i think in a lighter universe he joined toland instead of remaining a campaign knight and the two of them are zoo tigers and mlynar is the pumpkin full of meat in their enclosure. it's hard to have any sort of emotionally important relationship with him that doesn't involve mutual antagonism, lmao.

Ive been thinking abt the "characters from time lord au go to x time and y place" prompt for days bc ive been trying to think of like the most comedically un-romantic location you could possibly place bob and helmut into where they somehow still catch feelings but i have been absolutely stuck. so im just presenting the vague concept to you for consideration, if nothing comes to u either that's understandable have a nice day
Oh heck yes. Let me see here...
Gladiator arena was a first thought. Likely they try to make them fight each other but instead these two just start laughing for no reason
Honestly they have probably had to go through sewers to get places and still had situations like Bob carrying Helmut through the worst part
They've got a unique skill to find almost anything romantic if they're with each other. Usually this is normal. Sometimes it's the time that Helmut punched a Cyberman and Bob nearly kissed him on the spot.
Ford is dramatically third wheeling the whole time.
There could be a situation with them in a literal war and they'd still find something sweet about the other to notice. I swear they cannot focus on the plot in proximity of each other.
I think my favorite idea has to be them being locked up somewhere for stealing something which either a) Ford stole or b) they don't even know what it is, and they just end up talking to pass the time and mutually realize "Oh No. I like this guy"
(In that last idea it is possible that Ford is trying to return it or to get them out but I think he'd definitely only manage to help at the last moment, finally getting up next to them as they're about to be executed or something, to produce the thing that they were thought to have stolen.)
Bob definitely mostly romanticizes Helmut's optimism and cheery outlook, while Helmut romanticizes Bob's quietness and then his dry humor and kind of silly laugh and all that. They get to know each other more through some time of talking and whoops. "Illusion is broken, but I like the real you better"

28, 29 and 30 for the music ask game? :D
ooo!
28:A song by an artist with a voice that you love
29:A song that you remember from your childhood
30:A song that reminds you of yourself
oooh, man u tryna kill me? i actually read that middle one and immediately thought of a song so lollll
28 : voice....specifically voice???? hm. Cotards Solution by Will Wood bcus that song can NEVER BE LOUD ENOUGH !!! and his voice is just real nice. he has a craaazy range in both his music and his singing, i can listen to both soft ukelele and manic piano with this guy.
29 : ok don't laugh but Starships by Nicki Minaj TwT this is bcus when i was younger i flip flopped thru a whooole lot of extracurricular activities - one of which being a dance club! i forget the type of dance but this song was playing on repeaaaat we were always doing dumbed down choreography. come to think of it a lot of my clubs were dance-focused, i think i liked ballet the most and it was the only one i went to independantly for liek yearrrs. I still rlly love dancing! i just have no idea what genre my ass is doing most of the time, some combo of ballroom and swing lol. doesnt help that i make pair/solo choreography in my head THE CURSE.
anyways i ranted ignore that.
30 : reminds me of MYSELF??? well i could either go rlly angsty or just. eh. but fun fact that relates to me when i was younger again i used to get the same types of songs stuck in my head that i related to a WHOLE lot. and then i look back on them now and im like 'omg that song's just about having a personality disorder ToT' (Happy Days by Ghost i'm staring intently in your direction. i tried to make a COVER!)
anyways the SONG! yesthesong ive actually had THIS song stuck in my head for 2 days lol soooo.
Again by Crusher-P. i've just dealt with a lot of loss i don't take very well :/ oh and the unstable sense of identity :/ and the-

Thanks you for the ask my beloved mutual!!!!! do u want a cwtch? the bearhug thing is still on the table im very good at those u just have to be short enough/light enough for me to be able to shake you around (im very big strong macho muscular man so i wouldnt worry BD)

Hi, for that ao3 wrapped ask: 3, 12 and 16?
Ahhh thank you so much for asking!!
3- What work are you most proud of (regardless of kudos/hits)?
Ahhh this one is so hard!!!! i really like all of my works so its really hard to pick, like i really have some bangers that i truly love. But if we are talking fics from 2023.
Choke down and swallow my heart. I have an intense fondness for flower language, soulmate marks and hanahaki. I also really love completely changing the rules of it and making a whole new thing with it. Basically my take on the whole thing. Having Peter and Elias not able to hide their feelings due to external forces is also quite lovely.
A fic im very fond thats just a one shot i made for lonelyeyes week is Repair my heart. Its just a quiet afterlife fic about Peter repairing, metaphorically speaking, his relationship with Elias by fixing a house. Its sweet and sad, but very nice to me. I like it very much and i am a sucker for my afterlife stories.
I really have a lot of fics i wrote this year that i loved very much. If it was about all the ones i wrote till now i could not pick just one. I will probably do a fic rec about the ones i did this year later. Gotta promote some of them.
12- How many WIP’s do you have in your docs for next year?
I have a bunch i think? There are good ideas mind you, i actually started to write them but then i kept getting frustrated with them and couldnt finish it, so i dropped them.
Uhhh, lemme think, there is the Everything everywhere all at once, two versions of the same vampire fic because i couldnt decide the pov and i still went and wrote a bunch for each, a ghost haunting fic with Peter moving in into an old house and realizing Jonah's spirit is stuck there. There is also a uhhh Dnd fic like, fantasy setting with Peter and Jonah being a druid and a warlock. There is also a mermaid fic that i never got to finish.
The Dnd one, the everything fic and the haunting one are the ones i actually have written for the most. So i probably will pick them again since i have a good chunk of them written already.
That is to say, i usually have a list of ideas written and sometimes i just go to check that out and simply start from scratch. Its very funny because i sometimes write just loose words and future me has to dechiper what the hell did i mean.
16- What’s your most common “Additional Tags” tag?
Hurt/Comfort, mutual pining and no beta we kayak like tim,
Those i think are the three i use the most. Especially the hurt/comfort one hgdjkfgd. Im sorry i like to make them suffer before giving him nice things. Carrot and stick and all that, keeps it spicy.
Anyhow, thank you so much for asking!!! Im so happy to answer or talk about my fics ghjdk really, i could rant all day if given a chance.

hjfjdhsj okay okay im gonna let u work on that wip and I'll be patiently waiting for u to post it 👀
anyways I'm writing a lil best friend!yunho fic that I started drafting like ??? legit over a year ago, but then I abandoned it and now im back to it. it's honestly just bc I wanted to write some rly cute and wholesome smut 😳🥺 but like,, think abt it,,,,, u have this huge crush on ur best friend but u don't wanna ruin it blah blah blah mutual pining bc ur both idiots
and then u both figure out that holy shit we've been into each other this whole time ??????? and one thing leads to another and I just keep thinking abt what ur first time together would be like
u already know each other so well and u have a dynamic going on, the jokes come easy and ur comfortable w/ each other, but ur also so so nervous bc u like him so much and this is all new and it's a little awkward but ur both so excited and happy and 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I've gotten stuck a little on the actual smut tho so if this sparks something in ur brain I'd love to hear it!!! - ☁️
TSHAUSHSBS DTHIS IS SO FUCKING CUTE CLOUDNON !!! love the concept so much :( here’s some smut ideas u can take!!
i can imagine the first time being a lil awkward, but he wants it to be so good for you so it’s mostly him talking and taking the lead. dont get him wrong, he’s nervous as fuck but i think he’d be good at hiding it.
i think it’d be sweet if there was a bit of foreplay,,, maybe like a giggly make out session that leads to grinding and then maybe he eats u out?? or uses his fingers??? OR BOTH?! and you’re maybe all shy once u get out of ur clothes bc he’s never seen you like this— he’s really reassuring tho, calling you all types of pretty names that make you feel so so pretty.
and i think he’d be sure to let you know how good you feel while he’s fucking into you at steady speed. he’s peppering kisses all over you while you let out meek moans and whines that progressively get louder. and he’s just telling you abt how long he’s waited for this and you finally reply with “me too” and that’s when he kinda,,, loses it? maybe? he just goes faster and faster and ofc, its still sweet, but just needier bc it’s something you both have wanted for soooo long

*Horror genre/smut warning*
-He’d be very tentative to catch feelings for anyone because he’s a very depressed boi
-quiet guy is hard to get to know, especially after an apocalyptic event
-Even if you’re survivors together, he’s just kind of going to be floating around quietly, so if you want to get to know Hyunsu, you’re going to have to make an effort
-Hyunsu is drawn to beautiful things, things that inspire hope (music, kids, etc...) and he can enjoy pleasurable things for a time, but Hyunsu is always terrified that good things will be torn from his grasp, so he never wants to let himself love something too easily
-Boy has his found family, so being accepted by his loved ones would be really important.
-It would be the elder survivors like Han and Gilseob who notice the connection between you and Hyunsu first
-i’m talking hard core pining, long looks, Hyunsu’s eyes finding you any time you enter a room, but you’re both oblivious to each other
-It’s a tough situation because Hyunsu is still treated like a monster at times, and people are obviously scared of his dark side
-Hyunsu can’t even imagine getting close to you, for fear that he’ll hurt you
-his monster alter ego even toys with him by mentioning you sometimes, further increasing the poor boys anxiety
-He’d get growingly agitated any time you have to put yourself in danger, and always ends up going places with you just to make sure you’re protected
-it starts with him just kind of shadowing you when you head up to your apartment for something one day
-the building is pretty much safe, but when you catch Hyunsu out of the corner of your eye, you almost have a heart attack, which he apologizes profusely for
-he goes with you to your room and is kind of awkward at your door because you’re a pretty girl and he’s about to go into your apartment, even if it is a post apocalyptic world, boy has manners
-He’s also just very big and tall, so even though he kind of hunches over, he sticks out like a sore thumb in your apartment
-he’s so quiet, but once you find something you both mutually enjoy to talk about, he begins to loosen up
-he continues shadowing you, he’s pretty much your designated monster survival partner 
-at dinners you start to eat together and everyone is low key hoping you both work out, but are also worried about what it could mean for you if Hyunsu turns full monster out of the blue one day
-He’s very hesitant to allow you to touch him, so you’d have to start small
-like maybe you offer to help him clean up some residual blood left on his skin after he’s healed from a fight
-Hyunsu all but holds his breath while you wipe his skin
-big uwu boy, heart eyes to the extreme
-he honestly just needs a good cuddle and one day, after a particularly rough event where you almost die, Hyunsu is too tired to be in full control of himself, so when you crawl into bed with him, wrapping your arms around his frame, Hyunsu allows himself to enjoy it
-the biggest soft boy is the small spoon sometimes cuz he really needs it
-he falls asleep in your arms and it’s the most peaceful sleep he’s had in maybe years
-when he wakes up, he rolls to cuddle against your chest, still half asleep and unaware of what he’s doing until he can hear the beat of your heart under his ear and realizes you’re not just a pleasantly warm pillow
-boy practically jumps out of the bed and needs to be pulled back into your embrace
-if you start massaging his scalp and holding him to your chest- he’s going to die, like, he’ll never be happier
-He craves your cuddles like nothing else in the whole world, and allows himself more and more to be happy when he’s with you, and to be with you often
-seeing him smile is so odd, people are shook
-the first day you grab his hand in front of people makes his heart melt
-the two of you are simply waiting for dinner, and you grab his hand, playing with his fingers casually
-you don’t even notice how impactful the gesture is
-after dinner, Hyunsu finds himself swept away by the key men of the group, Han thinks it’s all very cute, Gilseob agrees with Han but he’s worried like Eunhyeok that Hyunsu could be a danger to you. Sangwook is just there because they dragged him along
-Hyunsu is still worried he could hurt you and you notice him pulling away after his discussion with the guys, which leads to him fully communicating to you all his fears about being a monster and not being good enough for you
-squash all his anxieties with a kiss
-Hyunsu will melt against you, your lips are the best cure for his busy mind
-if you tug a little at his hair boy will be whipped forever
-once he opens up to you, he’ll tell you everything
-time spent cuddling and just talking
-tracing his scars and kissing them, telling him you’ll never leave him
-him being worried about becoming a monster but you’re so determined he won’t- and you won’t let him try to avoid you for your ‘own safety’ so he’s pretty much just stuck with loving you and accepting that you make him happy and he’s allowed to be happy
-helping him cut his hair and being shook by how much younger he looks
- “do you like it?” he wants to make sure you still like his new hair
-he’s so much more boyish- it honestly makes it worse when his hair is short because people have been straight up offering him up to really hard jobs because he ‘cant die’
-like, you’re going to be fiercely protective of this boy, just as he is of you
-yeah he’s the one that ‘cant die’ but if someone tries to be even slightly mean to him, you’re jumping in and throwing fists
-’oh? you guys think it’s a good idea to sacrifice him to the military/government for our survival? time to meet my fists’ you’ll jump in swinging i swear to god
-you would probably be down to fight Eunhyuck on the daily for how he treats Hyunsu like his watch dog/hound
-low key everyone is prepared to wake up and find you and Hyunsu just gone one day
-he looks at you with the biggest heart eyes, like, boy is so in love with you and anyone can see it
-he’s going to cherish any time with you
-nights are for cuddles and memorizing your face in the moonlight that comes through the windows
-will find you cute little gifts, like, if he knows you like certain books or stuff like that he’ll keep an eye out for things to amuse you when he’s looking for supplies 
-being way too fucking cute. like. this is an apocalypse and this man is just out here being a full fucking simp for you im-
-be careful as he gets more in love with you though because if someone threatens you, his monster side will pop out
-you’re feeling fragile one day and someone says something rude about Hyunsu and ‘how much time he has left’ and when Hyunsu finds you crying, his eyes go black and his monster side demands you tell him who he has to go kill for you
-after that, you can be certain his monster side won’t ever hurt you, which makes Hyunsu feel a lot more relaxed
-boy finally lets you touch him for longer than like five minutes because he’s not scared of loosing himself when he’s with you anymore
-ok, let’s be real, ya’ll would find ways to fuck even during the apocalypse
-boy deserves it. he DESERVES IT I TELL YOU
-soft honey boy, starts so soft, so much kissing and foreplay
-you’d really have to initiate things going farther than just kissing, and he’d worship you if you undressed for him
-10/10 will tell you he loves you while buried completely inside of you
-lots of gripping and passion, breathless kisses, hand holding and finger squeezing
-let him burry his face in your neck
-the sweetest aftercare filled with cuddles, hugs, kisses, and sweet words of affirmation
-he’s super shy about petnames, but you pet your ass that this big soft boi is going to let ‘jagiya’ (honey/sweetheart) slip every once and again.
-super shy about pda around other people, but you purposefully like to show how much you love him to make everyone else think twice about being mean to him or prejudice because he’s ‘infected’, whatever that even means.
-stealing his massive clothes
-taking care of him in ways that count, like making sure his depression doesn’t get the better of him being able to complete basic tasks, like cleaning him after a fight and making sure he eats properly
-being Hyunsu’s proof that humans can live with monsters, because you’ll never let him go and you love him
-i mean, not even going to lie, 10/10 Hyunsu would make living in monster world worth it

You know how it feels to be called crazy by people who whip out the "they're brothers!!! shippers are all sick!!" argument every time you see clearly that Jikook are in a completely different league and don't behave like bros at all? That's how I feel this month on Jikook blogs,and it's twice as painful because these are supposed to be my people. During the Butter promotions,there was a time when Jimin and Jungkook weren't interacting almost at all. That's the reality. I'm not saying they are-
-over. I literally have no idea what happens to them behind the scenes,same as every other fan. If they are together,I don't want them to ever break up,because I love them both and their relationship is one of the healthiest and most loving I have ever seen. But I am sick of the fact that anywhere you go in this fandom,sooner or later you'll get called crazy or told you're not a real fan for noticing something negative. Couples fight sometimes. Coworkers disagree. Friends fight. If Jikook are all three,it's impossible for them to *never* fight. We pride ourselves of having our eyes open,but whenever someone voices a BTS or Jikook related worry,we just try to make each other shut up. I don't want all my interactions with other Jikook supporters to be ruled by the fear of potentially enabling toxic Tkk. Doesn't doubling down and pretending everything is always fine with BTS,all the time,and they never unhappy or have conflicts,make me as delusional as those tkk?
Look, im not quite sure what you are looking for here. A safe place to say that KM fight? Yes, they do. I've posted about their 2 big fights we know about already and it would be stupid to say there haven't been probably a million more that we don't and won't ever know about. Fighting isn't always a bad thing in relationships and even just friendships. Fighting is a way of communicating. As long as it is done while maintaining mutual respect and boundaries obviously. Yes, Jimin and Jungkook, no matter what their relationship is to each other have, and probably will continue to fight over things. I got into it with my husband just last month and can tell you that even as I was super pissy, I was also still insanely in love with him. Fights happen, fights are normal, fights are healthy even. I'm positive that they fight.
Do I think that they haven't been interacting during Butter promotions? Um, no. I very much so disagree with you. But that is the beauty of being human. We are all allowed different opinions and we all see things differently. I am also going to ask you to remove the collective "we" from your statement though. I have never tried to make everyone see things the way that I see them. I state my opinions and you all can do with that whatever you want to do with it. And goodness, saying that I (or anyone else) disagrees about their being a lack of interaction is NOT the same thing as doubling down and pretending everything is fine when it isn't. That's slightly offensive honestly. I DO pride myself on trying to maintain a more objective stance on "shipping" culture. I don't wear blinders and only see whatever I want to see. I just also simply am not seeing where you or any potential others are seeing the problem here.
I also want you to take a minute and keep in mind how released content works. We are STILL getting behind the scenes content from Dynamite era that we had never seen before. I remember Jkkrs complaining about a lack of KM content during the making video for Dynamite, and then just a few months ago (almost 7 months later) we got Bangtan Bombs of jikook stuck to each other like glue during the whole thing over and over again. Plus we are STILL in the middle of Butter promotions. We are STILL getting content being released from that. The moments released today of Jikook holding hands during the Xylitol commercial? Yeah, that was filmed during the same time as the start of Butter promotions. The jacket shooting sketch behind? Filmed during Butter promotion time. All that Jungkook purple hair content? Filmed months ago during Butter promotions time. And it's still on going. They've moved on to performances and Big hit is still slowly giving out content to keep the bread coming in for Butter. We literally have probably only seen half the content for Butter so far. PLUS we will probably be getting Bangtan Bombs from the Butter era well into 2022. We aren't getting many live streams, everything is prerecorded and pre-planned. Not much room for behind the scenes silliness that we get to see. But when we DO see it, we see them together in the background. Lee Hyun's video? That was taken right before American interviews for Butter, so during Butter promotions. People had been saying they weren't interacting during interviews, but behind the scenes, you had them walking around clingy and singing together.... even just today, they released more short clips of all 7 guys for Butter promotions. We are STILL getting content for it.
And just because I personally like visuals to go with my posts, here is just some of Jikook from a wide range of time, but all during "Butter" era. We have the Butter press conference photos, the cuddled up together pose, and looking at each other while everyone else looked at the camera with their pretend buttered bread.
Tumblr media
We have the Butter Vlive where they giggled together often and even waved to each other through the screens watching the vlive and smiling together
Tumblr media
We have all this from June, Festa and Muster, Butter is still technically being promoted during this time, the song had very recently just been released, sooo do these interactions just not count since it's not promotional material?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
From behind the scenes getting ready for interviews to promote Butter in America
Tumblr media
From the recent Run episodes, but filmed back during when Butter was being filmed
Tumblr media
During the Jacket shooting sketch for Butter:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Filmed around the same time as all the Butter stuff, released very recently, Xylitol behind the scenes holding hands
Tumblr media
And also very recently, not technically a Butter promotion, but PTD is included in the whole Butter CD and era I feel like, their reaction to PTD, very cute and happy together.
Tumblr media
Now I don't know if there are particular moments you are speaking of, but I wouldn't automatically assume they are fighting or not interacting or something is wrong, because again, we probably won't even get all the content they plan to give us about this era until next year. And you could be all worried about them not looking at each other during xyz video, only to get a behind bangtan bomb in a year showing them giggling together over Tae breaking a pair of sunglasses or something equally silly. Or of them curled up on the couch taking a nap together.
Am I trying to tell you that you are crazy or incorrect? No. I'm simply telling you that I disagree. And that is allowed. You also aren't allowed to tell me that I'm being delusional for thinking everything between them is just fine. You ARE allowed to disagree with me. That's just fine, that is human nature. "We" as jikookers do not have to agree on everything all the time. That would honestly be weird. In fact, I'm not even here to change your mind. I'm just simply.... disagreeing. I have seen plenty of interaction through the entire year, they seem fine and happy and content in the content I have seen of them so far. I think its fine.
Do I think they have probably had some arguments this year? Sure, we are 7 months in. It would be totally normal if they showed up to film something and were slightly annoyed with each other over a petty argument of someone not doing the dishes last night, or leaving their shoes out and the other tripping over them. Anything at all! Where maybe they don't get all flirty that day, but ultimately they are fine, go home. Do the dishes, apologize for being petty and move on happily. It's also important to remember that long term relationships are more settled, they don't HAVE to be flirty and on top of each other 24/7. Lol I haven't seen anything that seems like they are "off" or ignoring each other purposefully or having a serious disagreement over something this year at all. But that's just me.
Sorry, I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear, but it's how I feel. If you are feeling distressed, it's okay to take a step back from KM blogs or stan Twitter and just focus on how you see things and how you feel about it. Or simply just focus on the music? Do what is best for you, in the end. Hopefully you are okay with I guess simply agreeing to disagree over this one. I do truly hope you have a good day 💜

tumblr tips & things!
Tumblr media
after growing rlly fast, i just wanted to provide some maybe helpful tips + things you could do if you’re a smaller blog! i am in no means an expert, I am still learning but this is what i’ve learned, specifically abt the mcyt tumblr community
disclaimer you DO NOT have to follow these, these are what ive learned and my opinion, but i think most writers can agree on this
its a lot of info im sorry ajdba but feel free to reblog and add ur own info!
Tumblr media
1. tags!
theyre superrr important if you want exposure for your works + writing pieces, just make sure to tag accordingly
meaning: do not cross tag, or main tag, (ex do not tag just dream alone) keep ‘x reader’ content under the ‘x reader tags’
^people get uncomfortable with x readers and sometimes they slip through the filtered tags
my go-tos for tags are mcyt or cc name then the following prefixes- x reader, x y/n, x you, fanfic, fanfiction
if you have a fic for dream, DO NOT TAG george, it makes it confusing
also tags for ur random posts r super helpful because if someone doesnt want to see it, they can filter it out (my talking tag is basilly blabs)
adding a tag for the ppl you interact for! i like doing this cuz i can easily search a tag on my blog to see my prev interactions w/ them (ex. if i interact w/ userA then i tag userA’s username)
2. create some sort of brand
of course u can switch it up, but using ur own theme makes ur work recognizable to others
like mine is my banner- i use it on every of my works + important posts, so ppl can recognize me
banners can be found on the internet or twitter (but pls credit the artist w/ permission) i found mine on google
for super thin page dividers, i use ibis paint (mobile app) and made a super thin canvas (3405x57) and filled it w/ my theme color
3. plspls dont beat yourself up for rejecting requests or feeling uncomfortable
you are not forced to write requests, if they make you feel uncomfortable you can decline
also if you’re not happy with the work, you can spend the time to revise + edit, we will wait for work you are happy with!
+ if you are stuck with some details on writing smth, ask a mutual or others! more brains and more ideas!
4. same goes for writers block & health issues
we all get it sometimes, no one is pressuring you and if they are, its your blog, you decide. and your health matters more
5. the mcyt tumblr community is SUPER NICE
if u wanna be moots aka mutuals (follow each other) literally shoot them any message and they’ll respond so kindly
ive talked to so many incredible moots who I absolutely adore theyre so kind
also interacting w/ moots: they can reblog your work, creating exposure but do not expect reblogs, and same to you we are not expected to reblog
6. please check a cc’s boundaries before writing
@/smp-boundaries has a majority listed, and if not, ask!
7. if u have any questions, just ask!
lots of ppl will not even mind that much, like i said theyre super kind
8. navigation + masterlists!!
super important for everyone to see your rules, works, all put into one spot, it makes it 10x easier
9. backup ur works + asks
tumblr can be glitchy so its always helpful to back up works on google docs or smth similar
having ur whole fic deleted is not fun and demotivating
asks can be backed up by sending them to ur linked email- this has helped loads for me
10. dont worry too much abt likes + follows
all blogs start out small and as you go and keep persisting, ppl will start noticing + following, its all abt perseverance + trust the process
even when fics r rllllyy good, tumblr has its own bad days and u get low notes- dont let this discourage you
11. anonymous asks!
some ppl get nervous and request on anon! personally think theres more requests that way
12. small text or read mores!
internet is a great help w/ this and itll give you guides and step by step instructions
mobile also is a lot harder to make an aesthetic blog, so a laptop or pc or chromebook is super helpful
13. for max notes, post at ‘prime times’
i think the queue tells u when the prime time is to post for ur time zone, but also a google search is super helpful
or, guess and check! trial and error- i did this and found the best time to post for me
once you find it, you can schedule or queue your work so it posts for you!
14. if there’s sensitive topics pls add TW and CW
as writers yes we try to cover some topics that ppl request but we dont want to trigger others, so at the top include TW// (trigger warning) or CW// (content warning) and add a cut or read more
do not put CW or TW on content creators- no matter how bad they are, its rude and dehumanizing
15. Formatting is SUPER important!
if you do not separate your lines of dialogue or paragraphs, chances are people WILL skip over it. it makes it hard to read and sometimes it is’t worth people’s time
rule of thumb is make a new paragraph every time someone speaks and indicate who is talking or make is distinguishable!
if your fic is over 500 words, id add a cut as well! if you dont know how:
on mobile: type :readmore: in a new paragraph and hit enter w/out a space after the readmore
pc/laptop: new paragraph, three dots far right
Smut also def has its own set of rules but i am not a nsfw blog- main things i can say is please add cuts and check for cc’s boundaries
thats all i have for now,,, i might add in the future!
Tumblr media
not everyone’s experiences are the same but this is whats worked and happened for me and what i found to be useful, i hope this helps you as well, if it doesnt, thats fine too!

here’s an analysis of the angst between redlynn and rini and the main portwell scene in episode 8 because i have so many thoughts so grab a drink and relax because this is going to be a long one:
both larry and julia’s acting in the scene in ash’s room was incredible. you know exactly how both characters are feeling because it’s so perfectly written on their faces. but larry really goes above and beyond with the way he’s portraying his emotions in the little things like his eyes tracking and the choppy turning and the flickering eye contact. its incredible. seriously.
DOMESTIC EJ AND GINA!! i loved this scene it was so sincere and heartfelt. i wish EJ wasnt so down on himself. yes he’s made some mistakes. a lot. but he’s a teenage boy and he’s come SO far. and matt portrays that so so so well in his acting. that sense of self consciousness under the bravado that EJ puts on. DONT GET ME STARTED ON SOFIA. her acting is BEYOND INCREDIBLE. she has a way of delivering her lines so genuinely and like she has experienced every single thing that her character has. it never feels like she’s acting. seeing these two characters who are so unsure of themselves but put up this mask and then finally get the chance to break down those walls a bit with each other and finding comfort is so beautiful and makes this scene that much more impressive. i don’t feel like im watching a TV show when i watch this scene. i feel like im watching two teenagers try to break down their walls and be vulnerable with each other because they understand each other in a lot of ways. Matt’s line delivery of “that’s what you think of me?” was so soft and so different from the way EJ normally talks that it really hits. this is a boy who has no idea who he is other than his mistakes and the expectations from other people so hearing gina say that to him is such a vulnerable moment for him and Matt killed it. also sofia’s line delivery after that where she back tracks when she says “you’d see what I... the rest of us see” is so genuine to gina’s character. gina hasn’t put down her walls quite yet but she’s trying to. her whole life she’s used to steeling herself and not getting too attached. and here she is allowing herself this moment of vulnerability with this boy who GETS her even if she corrected herself that moment is still there. and then her trying to deflect when EJ tries to compliment her is her realizing she let herself be vulnerable and tries to not let EJ break down those walls any more than he already has. but he does because she needs to hear these things as much as he does. their soft looks at the end of that scene is just so genuine and heart warming. they get each other and they support each other in ways a lot of the other characters can’t. sofia and matt’s acting compliment each other so well and you can really see that in this scene. this is such a moment of genuine vulnerability between these characters and both of them portray it so well to these characters personalities.
now that i’ve analyzed the shit out of that scene let’s move on to the rini scene. because good god. there’s a lot. i like at the beginning of this scene there’s a lot of reminiscing which obviously sets us up for the whole issue with their relationship at this point. they’re both stuck trying to hold onto something that’s in the past whether that’s their relationship as a whole, who they were or who they’re trying to be for one another. the career day metaphor do be a metaphor for nini’s progress as a person and their relationship. like nini said it’s always been nini and ricky and there hasn’t been much diverging from that their whole lives. the acting in this scene is perfect. josh’s resigned and almost stoned reaction is perfect for where ricky is right now. i think ricky knew this was coming but he’s obviously still hurt and is trying to stay strong for nini because it’s obvious this is devastating her. he does a good job capturing that with his line delivery and how it’s almost robotic like he’s steeling himself for the inevitable. olivia’s acting is so heartbreaking. her facial acting from when she says “ricky that’s not ok” to when the camera is back on her after ricky’s lines is devastating. like it took her time to process this new information. her delivery of “i don’t like running away” is so hard to watch because yes she’s upset but she knows exactly where this conversation is going and you can see that. you can also see the ramp up to her trying to break up with ricky. also josh’s like thick swallow he does while he’s trying to hold back tears?? sir?? ouch. also them both saying i don’t want to hold you back and nini saying can i just hold you now? BIG OUCH. and ricky trying desperately to comfort her. it’s always been nini and ricky and then they broke up the first time. it wasn’t mutual and ricky assumed it was a pause and not a break up so there wasn’t the magnitude of the loss on both sides. but now they’re at a place where they are both agreeing to let each other go and they’re having to make a mature decision to let the other grow before they can be nini and ricky again is so sad. they’re saying goodbye to a decade of who they were together. ricky taking off the necklace and nini crying harder is so DEVASTATING. also the “goodbye nini” is so significant. he’s letting her go to be the best version of herself because her identity is so wrapped up in who she is with ricky. he’s literally saying goodbye to nini so she can be nina (metaphorically and a bit literally) and just watching nini cry harder is big ouch. i won’t say too much about how this scene might be related to josh and olivia as people because it’s none of my business but i will say that this scene was acted so well by both of them and you can tell that it comes from their own personal experiences which makes this so much harder to watch. i could spend 100k words just analyzing the emotions and the different subtle acting choices that are in this that really makes this scene incredible but i’m not tryna make a novel here. additionally this really adds to my theory about ricky being the metaphorical beast. this is kind of at a turning point in BATB where the beast lets been go to save her father but in this case nini is trying to save herself and become a better version of nini. this is also the point in the movie when you can REALLY see belle’s love for beast so i’m interested in seeing what they decide to do next with rini.
howie’s singing?? PERFECT. he really had a glee moment but i will allow it because it’s just so damn good. EJ cover gina up so she can sleep more comfortably is so sweet and also shows how their relationship is progressing. they’re helping each other in little ways but sometimes those are the most important. red and ash starting to be on the same page?? amazing. a main part of relationships is trying to understand one another and learn what is important to each other. and i think ash getting the shirt is a good representation of her starting to understand red. good for EJ for telling his dad that he isn’t going to duke. GOOD FOR HIM. red and ricky’s hug BROKE ME. ricky isn’t outright sobbing when he walks into the room and he’s not saying anything but red knows. he knows just from ricky’s body language that he’s distraught (friendship goals). red’s hold on ricky is so tight and strong which is literally everything ricky needs right now. also the reoccurring theme of ricky hugging a pillow while he’s upset is something so special to me. red’s little pat on ricky’s leg says a lot about their friendship. no words have to be spoken for them to be there for each other and comfort each other. nini reminiscing and then looking at her insta? nini 2.0 anyone?? or should i say nina?

TANGLED UP
Tumblr media
PAIRING: Akaashi Keiji x fem!reader
GENRE: romance | a bit of angst (≖ ͜ʖ≖) | mutual pining
TROPE: strangers ? to lovers
GIST: a serendipitous occurence resulted you to become penpals with your neighbor, however, conflict rises when circumstances push you to choose between your budding fondness for the latter and your long-time infatuation on the setter, Akaashi Keiji.
6/?
Tumblr media
yukie's hands bear a piece of paper scribbled with names of students from different year levels. her eyes burn into each letter as she runs down the information inside her head. kaori notices the internal conflict the girl is having as the latter's mouth moves into each syllable as she quietly reads through the list.
"what's that?" kaori speaks up, making the other whip her head to the side as if she forgot about the presence of her friend.
"a list of kei's in fukurodani. I promised ___ to give her a list of kei's. i finally did it last night but-" she brings her eyes back to the paper as she chews her bottom lip "my gut tells me i missed someone."
"let me see?" kaori lays her hand in the air, palms facing the ceiling. the smaller girl gives her the paper.
"i only know one or two kei's in our school. im surprised you came up with eight." kaori gives the paper back to her.
"not all of them have kei as their name. some students listed here have kei as their nickname." yukie adds, "should i give her this even though im not sure with the list yet? you know this time ___ has been more determined to move on from her feelings for akaashi. she even spends less time hanging out in the volleyball gym. i thought maybe i could bring her closer to kei by helping her figure out who he is and that way she can keep her mind off akaashi."
kaori nods as she looks into the eyes of the smaller.
"you should give it to her. you can always add names into that list if you figure out who you are missing and i like the idea of bringing her closer to kei but..." kaori lets out a loud sigh. she squints her eyes and her mouth forms a knowing smile. she continues, "i kinda miss her hanging out here. im not gonna lie, i rooted for her and akaashi."
"me too." yukie agrees and the two share a laugh.
"look! ___ is here!" kaori nudges yukie using her elbow.
you paces inside the gym with the rest of the members of the creatives club tailing you. Unlike before, you insisted on coming to the gym as a whole group rather than setting the gym as a meeting place. your voice resonates within the four walls and high ceiling of the gym, greeting the volleyball team with polite words.
it seems like the collaboration between two clubs birthed a dawning affinity between the members of the creatives and volleyball team as the assigned partners automatically pair up without you telling them to do so.
well, at least their initiative lifts a responsibility off your shoulders.
"___!" yukie waves at you from a distance and instantly your face flashes a wide smile. you jog to their spot.
"i have something to give you." yukie beams at you, her shoulders slightly lifted up as pride paints her face.
"here."
"what's this?" you say as you unfold the piece of paper she handed you.
"a list of kei's in our school. i made a promise to help you with your penpal kei remember?" your eyelids peel open when your eyes land on a familiar name. you should be thrilled to see the familiar person's name written at the bottom of the list but ironically your eyebrows press together.
you didn't expect this though you had a feeling about it.
"watanabe-san?" your voice came out flat and confused. your eyes are still stuck at the name written beside number eight.
"yeah, actually i originally had seven but i added his name this morning when i heard his friends calling him kei." yukie explains. you pull your orbs up to meet a pair of brown pupils. then, you realize something. the list did not contain his first name; rather it was hyphenated next to the words 'from creatives club'.
"what is his first name?" you ask.
"i don't know. most people refer to him as watanabe, right? his last name." yukis answers. the crease between your brows deepens.
"wait." it's foolish of you to realize it just now. you have the list of contact information of each member of the creatives club saved in your phone. your hand quickly fishes your phone inside the pocket of your skirt then swiftly navigates through the files in your mobile device.
"weird." you mutter to yourself as you read his name on the pdf file.
"what? what is his name?" kaori questions, eager to know the boy's first name.
"kagami."
"huh?!" kaori shouts in disbelief.
"kagami? kei? it doesn't sound the same?" yukie vocalizes her thoughts.
"maybe because his name starts with the letter k? and kei sounds like k? so maybe his friends refer to him as 'k' and not k-e-i." kaori spells out kei so you and yukie understand what she meant.
"weird." you repeat the word you previously said as if you've run out of adjectives to describe what you are feeling. your lips are curled up and your eyes are glued to the floor as you get lost in your thoughts.
"he's only referred to as 'k' or 'k-e-i' recently, right?" kaori asks yukie.
"i don't pay attention to seniors but that's what i heard this morning but i do know everyone knows him by his last name."
"it makes sense but it doesn't." you mumble to yourself. the two girls shift their attention back to you. you continue. "every hint coming from him points me to conclude that he is kei but at the same time trivial things like his name do not make sense."
"what do you mean by hints?" kaori interrogates.
"recently, he has been giving me steamed buns during club breaks for reasons i don't know. he keeps saying words or phrases mentioned from either kei's or my letter. ultimately, he acts like he knows me more than i think but we never talked until the project with the volleyball team. he even asked me to walk home with him today after the fitting session."
"walk home?!"
"today?!"
the two said in unison as their eyes rounded in surprise. you nod.
"you said yes?" kaori's right eye twitches. this girl isn't even hiding it the fact that she obviously favors akaashi over him.
"yep." the moment you said yes kaori sucks in air in shock.
"i mean at least you'll get to see if he's really kei? you can watch him enter his house from your bedroom window." yukie suggests.
"that's actually my plan though I feel guilty about it. kei and i had a silent agreement on not to meet."
"silent agreement does not equate to an actual agreement." kaori points out.
"i agree! besides, you'll just take a..." she smiles at you sheepishly. "a peak." she beams at you innocently.
a voice coming from a boy pulls you back to realityㅡthe reality of your responsibilities.
"___!" akaashi calls you from behind. you twist your upper body to meet with his gaze.
right, you're here for the first fitting of the drafted jacket you made. when your eyes meey you instantly feel your heart skipping a beat. it's been a whole week since the last time you saw him.
you kinda miss him.
"sorry did i interrupt your conversation?" he apologizes when he sees the stern face of the two managers.
"no, no. we were talking about nonsense things." you wave your hand in front of him, one hand holding a paper the other your phone.
"we'll leave you both." kaori says as her eyes went from akaashi to you before shooting you a smile. the two, then, left.
"follow me." you tell him as your feet take you to a huge plastic bag lying in one corner of the gym that once contained the club's unfinalized jackets but now only one material left is inside as everyone began fitting their jackets to their respective partners.
"about last time's document. the managers weren't back till late practice so i conducted the poll myself." akaashi says as you shake off the jacket in the air.
"really? i forgot to ask kaori and yukie about the results but since you mentioned how did it go?" you look at him and he's smiling at you like a child proud of his achievement. you can't help but think how cute his smile is. if only you could see this smile on his face everyday.
"it was a close fight between design A and B but A won by a single tally." you hand him the jacket and he loops his arms inside the arm hole. as you watch him, the urge to ask him about what he voted for grows inside you since your design was one of the top three voted by your team to be chosen by the volleyball team. you give in as the words roll down your tongue.
"what did you vote for?" you shift your eyes down to his torso. the top edge is folded inside. you tiptoe to reach for it, your hands clutching on each side hem of the jacket as you fit the material in his body. you run both hands on the jacket from the top of his chest down to the bottom where his hips and lower torso meet.
you bring your eyes back to him when silence answers your question. your eyes lock and you catch on his adam's apple bobbing as he swallows in air. a hint of tint on his cheeks colors his face.
"uh," he trails off, breaking eye contact before pulling his orbs back to you. he clears his throat. "i voted for B."
"why?" he asks when he spots a smile growing on your face.
"that's my design." you tell him, feeling like an idiot for feeling giddy over something petty.
although your design wasn't picked out as the final design, a sense of accomplishment and euphoria travels in your veins.
"really?!" his shouts excitedly, catching you off guard. looks like you aren't the only one happy about his choice.
"yes!" you mirror his excitement.
"turns out our telepathy works." he fights a smile growing on his face as he tries to keep his composure. probably he, too, was surprised with the sudden outburst he did.
you ask him a few questions about the jacket. another load has lifted off your shoulder when he assured you that it fits him perfectly, meaning you don't have to redraft the pattern you did and move on to sewing the parts using permanent stitches. when you were about to leave he stopped you by uttering your name.
"___." he says using his low voice.
"yes?" you look at him through your lashes.
"would you like to walk home with me tonight?" he startles you with a question you never imagined coming from him. the last time you two walked home together was because kaori suggested the idea.
you were thrilled, for a moment, until the memories came back like a tidal wave; washing off every bit of excitement in your body as your mind flashes a replay in your head. you are suddenly reminded of why you were determined to drop your feelings for him.
he's in love with somebody else
and spending time with him will keep you clasped around the fingers of false hope. maybe watanabe asking you to walk home with him after club is a good chance for you to keep your distance from akaashi. maybe it's the universe's way of safe guarding you from being emotionally in pain again.
"im sorry akaashi but kei was first to ask me." you tell him.
"kei?" he asks. his face turned serious.
the remains from your previous conversation with yukie and kaori must have lingered in your subconcious.
"it's watanabe-san from my club." you tell him. the creases on his face deepens as his orbs jump from one eye to the other.
"____!" watanabe calls for you. he's done with the fitting. you were about to walk off when a hand with slender fingers wrapped around your wrist, keeping you in place.
"i don't understand." his voice is hushed and his face is clad in bewilderment. you pull an eyebrow up, confused with the way he's reacting.
"kei is watanabe. I think that's his nickname though i usually call him watanabe-san since he's a senior." you explain to him but the more you do so the more confused he becomes. as if you've spoken a different language to him. you break eye contact as you shift your eyes down to where his hand are. he snaps back to earth when he sees you peering down on his clasoed hand.
"sorry." he mutters to himself as he unravels his fingers around your wrist. you smile at him before walking away.
 
~
in spite the fact that akaashi took the bus that came after the stop you took with watanabe he was still able to catch up with the both of you. perhaps because the two of you sauntered down the street slowly as if you were walking on moon. he watches as the distance between you and him decreases.
watanabe has his arm over your shoulder as a way of keeping you close to him which lead to the setter wondering if he's too late to profess his feelings for you. he didn't intend to confees to you soon but the image in front of him makes him want to rush in and confess to you right now.
though, his assumption were proved otherwise when he sees you pushing his arm off your shoulder. obviously, a blooming couple wouldn't do that, right? a couple in their honeymoon stage would be giddy over small things like holding hands or affectionate words.
he sees you turning his head to him, giving him an unsure smile as you cross your hands over your chest. a gesture that tells him to keep his distance.
akaashi snorted.
he knew he still has chance on you with the way your body reacts with his attempt to flirt.
akaashi reaches his house first and decided stay behind the gate with his back pressed on the metal barrier. he's waiting for watanabe to drop you off so he can sneak out and put his letter inside your mailbox. however, the next events rolled out differently than he expected.
"dude, i think it's working." watanabe's voice dominates the solace street of your neighborhood.
"yeah, i dropped her off at her house." he says over the phone. akaashi presses his ear on the gate.
"i tried kissing her but it didn't work!" he cackles loudly as his steps gets louder.
"next time i assure you ill get a kiss from her." akaashi gritted his teeth as same bitter taste takes over his palette.
"i didn't deceive her!" watanabe shouts defensively. his voice is louder this time signaling akaashi that the senior is proximately behind the gate of his house.
"i didn't tell her im her penpal or whatever they call it these days. i simply borrowed his name and maybe a bit of is identity. surely, she'd fall for me before she figured out i ain't kei, dude."
akaashi tries his best to stop himself from rushing out and punching the life out of the bastard strolling down the street of his territory. hearing him speak about you like a material he can manipulate into falling for him fuels his aggression but he also knows that knocking him off won't solve the issue. he has to think of another solution to keep you away from him.
watanabe laughs as the person on the other end talks to him.
"white lies, im telling you, white lies." he says to the other end. he appears as though he's proud of what he has been doing. he has been puppeting you using his lies and pretense.
akaashi pushes the letter down inside the pocket of his pants. forget about that letter, he thoughts. he has to make a new one. he swings the bag to the front of his body as his other hand unzips it. he pulls out a notebook and flipped it open on a random clean page. he ripped the paper off the metal curl holding the notebook together. he didn't even care about the crooked edges as he writes on the paper using a pen he got from the pocket of his bag.
~
your walk home with watanabe is rather odd. the conversations are forced and your humors don't click. if he's really is kei then why is he more interesting on paper than in real life? is writing about your day different when you say it outloud? you can't help but feel disappointed if he really is kei.
you should've kept your identities hidden.
the whole walk to your home is increases the awkwardness that sits between the both of you as he continuously attempt to get closer to you.
he "unconsciously" brushes his knuckles over the back of your hand. you find it uncomfortable enough that you had to clasp your hands together in front of you. he even had his arm over your shoulder without you allowing him to do so. yes, he is older than you but he still has to respect your boundaries as a person. clearly, he didn't get that.
moreover, it escalated when he dipped in, trying get a kiss from you right when you reach your home. you had to turn your head to the side because you weren't ready for it. he, again, didn't ask you if you were okay with it. the kei you wrote to for the whole summer and the first months of the semester is a person who respects people's personal space. he even asks you if it's okay to ask about a particular thing that may be too personal for you. he was careful with his words and this kei is the complete opposite. he's careless and insensitive.
maybe there is a difference when you meet someone vs when you only know them through letters.
nonetheless, his words and actions keep you thinking as you make your way up to your bedroom. your mind threading through each scenario from the bus to your walk home with him. something does not sit right and you don't know how to react when you find out he's kei.
the metal gate of your home clanks reminding you of what yukie told you this afternoon.
shit, it slipped your mind.
you were supposed to watch where watanabe is headed to after he dropped you off. you rush to your bedroom window and an empty street welcomes your vision. you missed your chance to take a one step ahead. a cat jumps from the top of the gate and effortlessly lands on the cemented floor. it must have been the one that caused the clanking sound.
you bring your defeated eyes back to the small frontyard of your home and there you spot a white paper peaking through the tiny hole the mailbox. you forgot to check the mailbox before entering the house.
you exit your room and run down the stairs. you rush out of the frontdoor not minding the bare soles of your feet touching the ground. you take the paper from the mailbox. unfolding it you notice the crooked edges at the side and the hurried penmanship of the writer. this letter has to be the shortest and most precise letter you received. your mouth falls ajar and the rhythmic pattern of your heart echoes in your ears as your eyes scans the paper.
"i think we should meet.
-kei "
