Jared Kleinman for the character asks :)

Favorite Thing About Them

Jared is so bad at communicating he reminds me a lot of myself. I have ODD so it’s a little different, but the man is an asshole in the best way possible. He is petty and gives off angry cat energy in both fandom aspects and canon. Also I appreciate that he never acted against Evan even when he had the opportunity and reason to do so, he threatened it but he kept his mouth shut. Real friend right there <3 (I could tell everyone everything! Okay great! You go ahead! Do that! Tell everyone how you helped write emails pretending to be a kid who killed himself! Fuck you Evan!)

Least Favorite Thing About Them

He doesn’t have enough screen time/show time. People mischaracterize him because his entire character is shoved into as little time as possible. I know I just said that I love how he’s an asshole but he’s more than an asshole. He’s so clearly lonely and more than just an angry kid. At least in the book they made him “hot” in the end but the show and movie pretty much get rid of him come act two

Favorite Line

Kinky!

Just kidding

Asshole!

Okay okay for real this time

Yeah I hate to tell you this Evan, but you may have already perjured yourself.

Isn’t that only when you’re under oath? Like in a courtroom?

Well weren’t you under oath? In a way?

No.

Or from the movie (since I view them as different canons)

Connor took a letter from me. It was an assignment for my therapist.

Ew.

(I’d offer a different line but Jared doesn’t have that many)

BROTP

Jared and Zoe friendship!!! They hate each other they’re best friends they get drunk and cry together!!

Another excerpt of my own writing that explains this. Again my writing quality has gone up since this but oh well:

Connor rolled his eyes, "I'm saying that Evan will always be there, okay? You are so fucking stubborn, and I'm trying to be nice and make you feel better, just say thank you like a decent human being."

"You just made me feel shitty."

Connor threw his hands up, "Fuck! You're impossible!"

Zoe's voice screeched from below, "FUCK OFF! HE IS MY BEST FRIEND!"

— I don’t know what I want, but I need you. Chapter 12

OTP

Either kleinsen or kleinphy. They both have potential. All my kleinsen fics are really fluffy (soulmates, hurt/comfort, etc) and my kleinphy fics are like…rough and angsty (teen parenthood, child abuse, etc) I like both equally, but what I want to read depends on the content I’m looking for as shown by my own writing style

NOTP

Nothing icky like the parents being involved obviously, otherwise Jared/Zoe fics just don’t feel right. Jared is gay. Like he has to be. The book tried telling me he liked boobs and I know Val Emmich lied. Evan was simping at the end for a reason. Jared doesn’t even have to like Evan the man is still gay. Best part of the movie but dear god at what cost? (I did like the movie I swear)

Random Headcannon

Jared has two moms, or his mother is bisexual. I tried writing him with straight parents and every single time it feels kind of wrong

Also he has a cat. Her name is Mayonnaise. Mayo for short.

Unpopular Opinion

Idk if this is unpopular or not but I’m glad they cut Goin’ Viral. It only pushes the he’s an asshole idea and even though I love the song it wouldn’t have helped his characterization. I would have liked for them to properly record the song when they released the deluxe album but apparently Disappear Pt. 2: the duet version was more important.

Also Jared Goldsmith was my favorite Jared actor other than Will Roland. Nothing can beat the Will Roland vibes

Book Jared shouldn’t have ditched his glasses and got buff, they made him too powerful. Evan couldn’t help but fall for him. Let him stay as he is don’t make him conventionally attractive!

Song I Associate With Them

Jared is such a complicated guy. His feelings are deep. He’s cringy but free. I haven’t thought about this in a while hang on…

I imagine that Jared is a pop girlie and this gives the desperate for attention vibes that I usually associate with him

And as for his inherently cringey vibes that I usually give him…

I’m not sorry

Favorite Picture Of Them

Again, we have options…

Eurovision 2022: #25 - #21

25. ARMENIA

Rosa Linn - “Snap”

20th place

Overall placement: 50/79

[Above The Black Mamba, below James Newman]

Ugh, Fine. 

Time to finish this ranking turbo style! So yeah, I’m not impressed with The Biggest Eurovision Hit, which I suppose is a controversial opinion? Then again, if Rosa was so good, then why did she only make it 20th place, hmmm? 🤔🤔

When Rosa’s song leaked it sounded exactly like the type of song you’d expect  DMGP to commit murder for: a frivolous, cheery pop welterweight (which somehow has the same cadence as I’m Alive by Elhaida Dani) thats easy to listen to and doesn’t get in the way of stanning better things. 

At Eurovision, this was Rosa’s exact journey. She was a cute presence that was vaguely liked, and her staging supported this. (despite the staging mishaps, still pretty neat!) Don’t know what all the references in the lyrics are about, but we can pretend it added some depth and meaning, Into 20th place she went, which was a fair result for what her lovable random self brought to the table. 

Then, she went viral on TikTok, which honestly is more of an  “eww” than a “good on her” i m o. Okay, look, it defo does not surprise me that out of the entire 2022 catalogue this song became the viral one. TikTok viralness is a horrible metric for musical quality though. “Snap” works as a TikTok song specifcally because it doesn’t syphon attention away from whatever brainfart nonsense TikTokkers force on their feeds for a living. If you want a backing track to your “Make mac ‘n’ cheese by dumping the ingredients on a marble countertop” silliness or your indie song-singing 101 Tutorial, might as well pick something like a Snap as the accompanying backing track.

Also, I always felt the record label behind Rosa Linn was a bit too eager to get A Big Kicker on their conto. Remember when Rosa -likely on urging from her mentor Tamar Karpelian- attempted to start a respectful discussion on Twitter (oh dear) about how wonderful NFTs were (oh dear) because they helped establish a base income for fledgling artists,like herself (oh dearrrr) without having to rely on her songs getting streams? (oh dearrrrrrrrr)Twitter gave their usual gaslighting-disguised-as-concern response which in turn forced Rosa issue a semi-confused, half-arsed apology for attempting to profit from her work. Okay that was kinda funny, but by Monika Liu’s  grown-out bob, Zoomer drama is the nuttiest drama, I swear.

Anyway, the aforementioned NFT shizzle, the association with Tamar’s Slytherin Evil, the TikTok viralness and the radio people’s sudden insistence that “Snap” was A Hidden Underrated Gem despite it being an inconspicuous 20th placer at Eurivision THAT NOBODY CARED ABOUT, and also the fact that Snap has five different versions (HER?!) all kinda hints at a certain ambition that just... taints it a bit for me. It just feels like Snap’s popularity didn’t develop itself naturally and but came about due to largely commercial and monetary reasons, after which the sheeple convinced themselves retroactively that it was secretly great and very underrated, since you know, influencers would never twist the truth to us for their own profit. 

Overall the song’s fine in a vaccuum. Underneath its base sheer lie values that my crusty millennial monroe ass doesn’t share. FARE THEE WELL, MISS LINN, YOU GO BYE NOW!!!

 -----------------------

24. CROATIA

Mia Dimsic - “Guilty pleasure”

26th place

 Decade placement: 47/79

[above The Roop, below Tusse]

Oh look, another vaguely pleasant, mildly likabable, and ultimately not very exciting middle-of-the-road pop melody. The cynic in you might think I’m ranking Mia ahead of Rosa because Mia didn’t go viral, and like always the cynic in you is correct! Hooray! 😁 Yeah sorry, in the ongoing battle of overrated vs underrated, it’s the correctly rated that always win :-) 

Still, like Rosa, Mia had the potential to be green on my ranking if she had cultivated a status as a fun random. TSwift IS a guilty pleasure of mine (except for her Midnights Era self which is unironically great) and while “Willow” is a part of the least exciting wing in Taylor’s musical library (ie: the part that isn’t crazed out through copium and/or severe neurosis), this bootlegged version was just cute enough to charm me.

Now of course, if your song is all about maintaining a certain level of delicate joie-de-vivre, it’s really important to not overdo the act and let the singer’s personal charisma carry it. Cue to the staging which looked like this:

What.

The.

Everlovin’.

Fuck?

There’s good staging and there is whatever the flyin’ fuck that was. Goodbye cutesie lounge vibe, goodbye charming performer, you’re completely overtaken by this overly choreographed, overtly dramatic and abrasive act that your song didn’t need. ONE dancer, NO acrobatics, how difficult is that to grasp, HRT? I’d be tempted to say the act was a cursed decision, but then realize Croatia’s frantic dance gremlins were probably the tipping point that allowed ~Systur~ into the finals, and any Eurovision final graced by those three earth angels has to count as a blessing. So thank you Mia for blessing us. ^_^ 

------------------------------------

23. GERMANY

Malik Harris - “Rockstars”

25th place

Decade ranking: 45/79

[Above Tusse, below Undisclosed]

It is very common knowledge that nobody likes Rockstars, and fine, I don’t! As insipid as “Rockstars” was though, I don’t think it was completely without redeeming qualities.Malik had a baseline charm and really went for it, I guess. 

The German Selection, which had adopted the very... um... optimistic name “Germany, 12 points” for the occasion, (optimistic even if we believe the conspiracy theory the “12 points” alluded to the total numerical amount ARD were aiming for in Turin <3) was one of the worst in a horrible NF season. I was fucking relieved it produced a winner I could (sadly no more than) vaguely enjoy. Not everyone has the panache of getting distracted by their own soap bubble bonanza. 

Also, the SPOKEN WORD RAP BREAK was exactly what my brain and soul -both high on copium after the Alina Pash withdrawal- needed at the time. It didn’t blow me away or anything, but it at least gave me something tangible to cling onto besides “well this is nice, i guess”. 

For the rest though, ::tumbleweeds::. I think people might have been a bit too bandwagon-y in their Malik Mockery cus like, yeah he’s clearly getting last, don’t make it worse? But then again... he brought very little to the table. Besides the spoken word it’s like... cursive singing (petition to rename this to “Cursed Singing”) and instruments displayed on moth-eaten rugs to get points, you know? It’s like Germany were deliberately telegraphing us to NOT vote for them, again. But that’s less on Malik and more on ARD’s incompetence, which is a discussion for another time. 

-----------------------------------------------

22. NORTH MACEDONIA

Andrea - “Circles”

27th place

Decade ranking: 44/79

[Above Malik, below Hurricane]

WE FINALLY MADE IT TO GREEN!!! Sadly we’re still in the No Man’s Land of VagueOpinionstan. 😣 

There is *something* about Andrea and “Circles” that resonates well with me? Is it the perfectly mimed frustration with a poorly communicating love interest? Is it the palpable resignation on her face as she helplessly bleats “u don’t wanna test my limits -_-”.

Maybe! What I do know is that I stan the critical amount of pure Sadsack Energy Andrea exhudes from every pore. 😍😍 I think she’s a contender for the most morose, Eeyore-ish person to ever set a foot on a Eurovision stage? Reminder that this person won a selection  <33333 Andrea posseses a sort of theoretical anti-charisma that should render her unvoteable, and yet in practice just has me cling to every word crossing her lips. ALL SHE WANTS IS A HEALTHY CONVERSATION SO SHE CAN GET IT RIGHT AND FIX THE SITUATION, YOU GHOULS!!!

(and yes, the other Bubble favourite of floordrop sorcery making an appearance <3)

But then on top of that, Andrea also became A Highly Controversial Pick for NoMac!!!! Strangely not because she was an out-and-proud lesbian (although, an out-and-proud lesbian representing a toxic homophobe country from the Balkans <3333333) but because..... she dropped a wee plastic flag during the turquoise carpet. 

The toxic nationalists took it as HER DELIBERATELY TRAMPLING OUR MACEDONIAN PRIDE AFTER YEARS OF GREEK BULLYING. MRT even issued an official statement that they were CONSIDERING A WITHDRAWAL (with zero intention to actually quit of course) to appease the smooth-brained cunts until the quiet and expected NQ arrived. <3333333333

(knowing her misery was finally over, Andrea cracked a smile for the first time in her life <3)

This only enhanced Andrea’s Charlie Brown”-esque journey even more!! Just when Andrea looked like the token hapless last placer nobody loved, the results came in, and showed she *almost* made the final.  😍😍😍😍😍😍. If there’s one thing that horrible second semifinal should have done right and didn’t, is causing a NoMac qualification by means of fixed jury voting algorithms. Simply imagine the meltdowns over Andrea slaying Andromache AND Nadir. 😍 If only the EBU had the balls to NQ Azer on the spot, huh? Oh well, there’s always 2023 for that. 😈

----------------------------------

21. UKRAINE

Kalush Orchestra - “Stefania”

1st place

Decade ranking: 41/79

[Above Fyr og Flamme, below Eden Alene]

ugh i forgot he yelled Mariupol and Azofstal at the end of that and wasn’t DQ’d on the spot! Instantly regretting I didn’t rank Ukraine even LOWER. 😫😫😫 (no, don’t think about how much better Stefania would be without him, don’t do it Bobo, consider your mental health -- inner monologue while writing the rest of this post.)

So yeah, after all this inconspicuous also-ran filler (i’m definitely including Snap in that group), I’m eliminating the winner, the biggest televote winner Eurovision have ever had. “Have you no respect, Boris?”, you might ask and well... would I be me, if I had any, lol? I came into the 2022 season with hot takes and mental fortitude and thanks to Shitvidi I’m all out of fortitude, so~

Cynicism and self-awareness aside, let’s get the big elephant out of the room: The war had virtually no impact on my ranking here. I despise politics at Eurovision, (mostly because politics always affect it, but Eurovision NEVER affects the politics back), so there are two options here: Either downvote Ukraine for bringing politics into the contest, or make an exception and turn a blind eye. I chose option two. Nobody can begrudge Ukraine for attempting to pretend that the worst armed conflict to have hit them since WW2 hadn’t broken them, so I won’t. No points added or deducted.  . 

I do have good reasons to not rank Stefania higher though. I think you already know where this is headed - Sorry (for YOU) if you’re a fan of his, but Oleh suuuuuucks. It started at Vidbir when he led a small mob against that poor envelope lady and it was all sorts of messed up? Entitlement and bullying tinged with toxic nationalism, there ain’t no better first impression to make, am i right?

And very unfortunately my distaste towards Oleh also extends to his on-stage presence which I find really fucking obnoxious. The concept of a “Charismatic Black Hole” was one I didn’t fully understand until I first saw Oleh Psiuk set a foot on stage. Does anyone TRULY like  his presence here? All his verses do is distract from the chorus and instrumental, which is awful because those bits fucking slap! Airlift him and his ugly-ass hat the fuck outta here. 

Okay, so the winning song is actually... pretty good. It is NOT great though. Stefania is a weaker, safer and more cis-het version of “Shum”, which is suboptimal. Counterpoint is that “Shum” was Peak Ukraine (Which is also Peak Eurovision), and remains one of the best entries ever, so a lesser replication of that is still enjoyable overall. It made Ihor Didenchuk (who is also in Go_A) a Eurovision laureate! It kinda sucks the fandom didn’t come through at a time when Ukraine had, you know, an actually charismatic lead, but I suppose the power of love Damiano-induced boners does conquer all.

On the flip side, Ihor’s and Tymofii’s contributions are so good that they almost fully balance Oleh’s deteriorative and hammy rapping. Tymofii carries Stefania with his spot-on chanting and preposterous flute playback shenanigans. 

Ihor meanwhile just has a good time on the stage, disguised as one of the two Cousin It-like entities <3 Add in some tasteful staging and hell, even the fact that this song is in essence an ode to someone’s (You Know Who’s) actual mom, (and not  the forced, cringe, jingoistic metaphor it later became) and you have an entry that definitely makes sense as a jury fourth placer and top fiver overall.

Now obviously, I would have preferred for Ukraine to not win because they were not the best option (not by a mile!), and ofc also because I hate their lead, but I’m not fully broken up that they beat my faves. Sometimes there are powers at work beyond our control and that’s fine. Not everything in life must be catered to our tastes. Ukraine are the best Eurovision country, and it doesn’t matter how or when they catch up to (and pass) Ireland and Sweden, as long as it happens during my lifespan. 🤷‍♀️

Still think Pinkbucket’s a thuggish little punk though. Prayer circle that the next time Ukraine win, it’s with someone actually worth stanning. 🙂

[masterthespianduchovny]

I just really need to get this out there: The same people who is shitting on Sydney is the same people who is saying there is nothing between her and Carmy and can't see any chemistry. Just say you hate black women and go! Because we know ya'll wouldn't be so horny to hate on a relationship between them if she was white. We know!

Low key, they’re probably seething that Syd is potentially also a love interest as well/endgame and with their short KANG of all people??? JAW has always had the girlies in a tizzy and throwing their panties at him, so it’s a blow to them, esp bc he’s off the market in real life. Lol.

They see this hyper competent black woman, who’s second in command, and skills are praised and they don’t know what to do with it. And she’s also not meek or trying to people please. Where’s the white girl they can’t project on??? That’s why they swear Carmy has sexual tension with his sister. Some even said he had sexual tension with Pete. Lmfao. (That’s because they missed why Pete initially avoided him and with reason.)

If Sydney was a white woman, the amount of think pieces on tumblr and by journalists would be through the roof. Waaaaaay more viral posts talking about “I support womens right and womens wrongs.” And less people would be disagreeing about their chemistry, what the series is likely setting up, etc.

Any time it’s a black woman and a white man or a black woman with a man white women want their white fave with (even if said black woman is paired with a black man), they get so mad and ready to tear shit up. It’s the entitlement for me! They always have to be desirable and the object of affection. Of any other race of woman, esp black women, are adored, they are bitter, resentful, and lash out. Because it’s not supposed to be that way, right? It’s even more of a blow when it’s white writers or show runners supporting this. 😂

You know the ship is great when multiple factions are hating and nothing even started yet. Lol

#the bear mail #it’s the white women #and the anti swirl crew #there’s a black love faction but they just want to see black people in love #ain’t nothing wrong with that #I’m not pro or anti swirl I’m pro chemistry and pro treat a black woman like she’s the world #which Carmy does for the most part #he just has his own shit that gets in the way at times

‘Rich Men North of Richmond’ singer Oliver Anthony panders to sold-out Fort Worth crowd

Oliver Anthony may not be “religious” in the traditional sense of the word. But he’s making a career out of preaching to the choir.

As he took the stage for his sold-out Billy Bob’s Texas show Thursday night, the “Rich Men North of Richmond” viral sensation said that he doesn’t go to church and that he swears a little bit.

He joked about how everyone assumes when you make it big in music you have to sell your soul to the devil, but he “kind of sold his soul to God” after a video of him singing “Rich Men” in a field went viral last year and skyrocketed him to fame.

Anthony said he’s not religious, but he opened his set with a joke about “those sick freaks running our country” and then opened a Bible to perform a reading — a normal beginning for his shows. Thursday night’s passage was from Psalms 37:12-20, which includes the verse “The wicked draw the sword and bend the bow to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose ways are upright.”

He then led America’s largest honky tonk in a rendition of “Amazing Grace.”

For someone who says he’s not very religious, his performance felt like going to a church service.

That interspersing of Bible verses is an extension of Anthony’s first full-length album, which he surprise-released on Easter Sunday.

“Hymnal of a Troubled Man’s Mind” features one new song — “Momma’s Been Hurting” — and polished-up versions of nine other songs Oliver previously released online.

In between, he reads selections from the Bible, mostly passages from the book of Ecclesiastes that focus on eschewing the trappings of wealth.

Anthony, née Chris Anthony Lunsford (his stage name is his grandfather’s name), says he released the album independently.

None other than producer Dave Cobb — who has helmed albums by Jason Isbell, Chris Stapeton John Prine and Brandi Carlile, among many others — helped out at the controls.

‘Rich Men North of Richmond’

“Rich Men North of Richmond,” a sparse song about Washington elites who have lost touch with the people they represent, sparked controversy for two reasons.

One was because of its lyrics, notably this one about people on welfare:

“If you’re 5-foot-3 and you’re 300 pounds

Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of Fudge Rounds.”

The other reason was the nature of the song’s success.

It went viral so fast, people accused Anthony of being an industry plant.

The song debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making Anthony the first artist to debut at the top of that chart with no prior Billboard chart history.

Conservatives latched onto him as a potential country music savior; liberals disdained him as a fat-shaming libertarian.

“Rich Men” was discussed at the first Republican primary debate.

Anthony rejected any attempts by politicians to “weaponize” his song.

“I wrote that song about those people,” he said in a 10-minute

It was no surprise that most of the crowd Thursday night was there to hear a live version of “Rich Men North of Richmond” (the Bible verse preceding that was a selection from Matthew 10: “You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.”)

That and two Lynyrd Skynyrd covers is what got everyone singing along.

But there were several songs that many people knew word-for-word, like “90 Some Chevy,” “Doggonit” and “I Want to Go Home.”

In addition to the Bible readings and the hymn singing, the night felt a bit like a church service in other ways.

Most of Anthony’s songs revolve around fights with the devil and facing your demons.

His band, Joey Davis on guitar and Caleb Dillard on upright bass, created some wonderful arrangements around Anthony’s earlier songs that considerably expanded the material.

Davis improvised some solos when the moment was right, to the delight of the crowd.

Anthony even invited up another fellow musician whom he met in Kentucky years ago to share one of his own songs on stage. It all had the feeling of a singing night at a country church.

But singing nights also have preaching. And, whether he admits it or not, Anthony is preaching.

“Rich Men” went viral because it tapped into a universal feeling: Your money doesn’t go as far anymore, it feels like the government doesn’t care, and nobody looks out for the regular people anymore.

But it endures because it’s exactly what Anthony’s audience wants to hear.

Most of his songs lament government, eschew wealth, and promote a simple, country life.

“You weren’t born to just pay bills and die/All you need is a dog, a shack, a creek in the back/And a good woman to hold,” he sings in “Rich Man’s Gold.”

No, we weren’t born to just pay bills and die, but what were we born to do instead?

Anyone can complain about the government; that’s why everybody does it.

Anthony has a distinct, commanding and vibrant singing voice, a real musical talent, and an even better understanding of his audience. But he has no distinct point of view other than saying the same “simple life is better” ethos that country musicians have said for decades.

But his audience loves it. “I Want To Go Home” and “Rich Men” were greeted with chants of “U-S-A!” from the crowd.

A line in “Doggonit” about how both Republicans and Democrats are “full of crap” got almost as many cheers as “Rich Men.”

It’s not a new observation.

So, politicians are full of crap.

What else?

A few songs Anthony played Thursday night, like “Cobwebs and Cocaine” and “VCR Kid,” start to move away from his typical themes to something more personal.

He said he has much more material to come, so hopefully he can make music that’s more interior and not just repeating tired talking points.

Until then, he’s just pandering.

i was listening to honey and spice by lightsum a couple days ago and it's a pretty catchy song, but the entire time i was like omg the members have so much presence that it's so weird to me that cube isn't trying to do more with them. They could be so much bigger than they are. I mean, obviously not important but they all are so beautiful like each member could be a visual imo and the main dancer is considered to be one of the best main dancers in 4th gen. And I feel like each member has that 'it girl' factor but cube is such a shitty company so they're all just extremely underrated :/

ooo the instrumental tickles my brain

i swear cube gets so lucky in scoring great talent but alas they almost always end up going nowhere (look at what happened to pentagon?!?!)

this release is actually pretty solid and i can see it going viral potentially?? i do hope cube does something good with lightsum otherwise they're wasting a really good girl group

[curareblog]

I’m a victim of word-of-mouth marketing. Oh sure, that’s not what the folks on the internet call it - but that’s what one eight-week long course said I could call it. So I’m using that license freely now. #learning #marketing #wordofmouth #viral

Anyway… Ganache Parfums, before getting reincarnated had drawn some attention on the internet. Unique scents at an affordable price point - run as a small business. Certainly a lot of these descriptors caught my attention. I took advantage of their initial “going out of business” sale. Yes, I’m not too ashamed to admit it. Yet here we are. To be fair - the deals allowed me to buy 11(!) fragrances for a reasonable price. I feel like getting a wide spread of scents I could potentially like gives me a good yardstick by which to measure the brand.

Without further ado, let’s get into it (yuh).

Aradano 6/10

A nice, tropical citrus and ripe fruit scent. The name translates to “blueberry,” but gives the impression of a fully synthetic blueberry, at that. Is it a bad scent? No. Is it better off as a candle? Yes. I’m sure Bath & Body Works has cranked out something similar in the past.

Lemon Creme 6.5/10

I swear, once again, this smells exactly like a lemon candle that I’ve smelled before. Insert some combination of lemon and vanilla here. For something that feels a little less like it will fight for dominance over your natural skin chemistry, I recommend Lemond Island.

Mango Mojito 7/10

Briefly, ever so briefly, I entertained the idea of keeping this scent. The name was evocative, and the scent itself was pretty spot on. And yet, it just kept reading as too synthetic and cloying on my skin. There’s mango, there’s mojito, but I have yet to feel refreshed.

Tasty 6/10

Sure, this smells tasty. Once again in - this would be a nice gourmand candle type of way. I get the impression of buttercream frosting. But it’s one of those smells that I can imagine in a handwash and not on my person all day long. 

When Life Hands You Lemons 6/10

I love the scent of lemons almost to a point of excess. Citrus fruits are one of my fragrant weaknesses. So naturally I bristle at the comparison of scents such as my beloved Light Blue to household cleaner. Never besmirch a lemon scent, I decry! Oh how the turntables… Somehow When Life Hands You Lemons manages to smell like a synthetic lemon and sugar scent used in household cleaners. At least Lemon Creme had the good graces to throw in vanilla to round things out.

Yankee Dolla 6.5/10

I think this is supposed to smell like a rum and Coke. Or just Coca-cola? I get the Coca-cola note. And that’s it, that’s the fragrance. I suppose if you love the smell of cola and want a solinote (is that even possible for what is assuredly an accord?) this would be the way to go.

Entice 6/10

Sugary sweet Fall Yankee Candle mishmash. I’m not enticed, I’m not repulsed. I’m just disappointed.

Silver Couture 7/10

Synthetic orange creamsicle. Not overly abrasive, but doesn’t sit nicely or naturally enough on the skin to sell me on itself. Would make for a nice room spray.

Lemon Eclair 7/10

A redemption arc for the Ganache Parfums lemon note. Namely, lemon here is not so sweet and vanillic as with Lemon Creme, yet not as bracing as When Life Hands You Lemons. There’s a gentle marriage of lemon, vanilla, and the vaguest hint of pastry dough. A shame I realized (too late) that I don’t want to smell like this.

Hunni 7.5/10

Usually honey as a note can go really well or really poorly in my book. Usually the latter. But I was pleasantly surprised by Hunni. Here was a natural, gentle honey scent that settled nicely into the skin. Unfortunately, I had found my fervor for honey scents had waned over time, leaving Hunni to face an early retirement.

Maybe I’m just not so into gourmand fragrances - which all of these are. Or maybe I simply think these all smell like gourmand candles, and don’t make for great body sprays. Perhaps a little of both. The longevity is nothing to sneeze at, but the sillage is 5-6 inches.

I’m honestly not sure if any of these scents are still in stock - but if you like the sound of them, I think they’re more common on resale sites now. (This also points to me having let them appropriately macerate over the span of 1+ years).

August

hello hi people of the internet... i know i'm late yet again for the monthly post and that's why i'm writing the August one on the morning of September 2nd [fidgets] but i hope wherever you are, you're all enjoying life!

uhhh i'm gonna have to kneel down or something i am TERRIBLY sorry for being not punctual with the posting but in my defense honestly August is as normal as life has always been for me lsdkslfk so nothing really happened. unless you count me somehow gravitated back towards western stan twitter again after leaving it in 2012 as a major event, then yep. August in one word is monotonous. though i appreciate it so much, me being in my comfort zone heheh

and yes, the main fixation that dragged me back into western stan twitter is none other than Stranger Things. boom. which is weird because the last time i'm so preoccupied with anything from that side of twitter was in 2012 and all The Hunger Games/Divergent/The Maze Runner/Shadowhunter hype, and Stranger Things was released on 2016 aka six full years ago. this time i don't even know what made me so engrossed in Stranger Things but my porte d'entree is the one and only season 4's Eddie Munson. he has just a few screentimes here and there but i'm hooked. he's now one of my comfort characters, as i feel i resonate with a lot of his antics and personality... not to mention Joseph Quinn who brought him to life is really my type of guy (yes, joining Sebastian Vettel and Marcus Rashford) i'm still seething with the fact the Duffer bros or whoever decided to kill Eddie off. it's lazy writing i swear to god i can go berserk on how he could've survived the demobats attack while still saving Dustin and everyone else.

so now i'm mourning Eddie's death with reading fics (god bless ao3 and all the authors!) with canon divergence elective creative choice where he's alive and Max survives Vecna's curse and everyone is happy, healthy, and well. and even if any of them died... it's because of old age and they spend the last day surrounded by their real, found family. i guess at this point you guys can tell i love the Hawkins party so much and how shared trauma bring them closer than ever with a bond that will never break [sheds tears]

next up is the topic of coldplay's Music of the Spheres world tour (!!!) it's so funny how everyone now wants to go to the shows because the fact that coldplay is that cool is viral on tiktok when everyone used to say coldplay is shit LMAO and i love to see it! sold out stadiums in every country they go to! and the best part is, on Humankind music video, coldplay put in Southeast Asia leg of the tour hint!!! i'm so happy i have saved money for this, i will definitely try to chase them. my options are Indonesia (of course, i'm still not giving up hope they will come to Jakarta), Malaysia, Singapore, Bangkok, Manila, Seoul, and Tokyo. i will come for you @ coldplay!!! so, who's gonna come along with me?

oh i almost forgot - i can't believe just five days after my last post Seb announced his retirement from Formula 1 on July 28... when he made an instagram account and posted the video of his announcement i felt so dumbfounded, struck with many emotions, i literally froze for a minute taking it in. sadness mainly, but it's just me lamenting a wasted potential, though knowing Seb prioritizing spending time with his family sealed the deal for me. gonna enjoy the rest of 2022 season as it's his last, i'll miss him so much. now i kinda get it why some people stopped watching a sport after their fav athlete retired lol but then i reckon that's just like no longer having the attracting point for something that you're used to be interested in. though i think i'll still watch F1 just because.

i think that's all for August??? i'll update again on September post hehe (my dad's bday soon!!!) alright, see ya 😊

#a day in my life #happiness is in the little things #eddie munson deserves better!!!

description: after being caught out together, their fans start to realize that they are exact opposites and decide to make memes about it

pairing: eminem x female!reader

warnings: swearing

masterlist (one, two)

They say opposites attract, but I never thought it was an actual thing. I always thought it was just a trope used in books and movies for a cute plotline. And then I started dating Marshall, who was the polar opposite to me. Publicly anyways.

Marshall’s public persona for years was that of a serious, cold rapper who liked to drop more explicates in one sentence than he probably should’ve. In private he was much sweeter than anyone would ever believe, but no one ever really saw that side of him besides the people closest to him (so mainly me). Then there was me, who was constantly a happy and positive person - in private and in public. It was like a whiplash in personalities whenever someone met the two of us together.

Going out in public was always somewhat amusing. The looks we would get when I was being all touchy feely and Marshall was his stone cold self was priceless.

On a day the two of us were out running errands, my usual desire for affection hit me suddenly. I took Marshall’s hand in mine and placed my head on his shoulder. We stumbled a little as we walked in our awkward position, which made me giggle.

“You’re gonna cause us to fall over,” Marshall teased.

“That’d be a sight,” I said with a giggle. “I’m just feelin’ all warm and fuzzy right now.”

“Don’t you always?”

I looked up at him and stuck my tongue out. His cold façade broke for just a moment as a smile tugged at the corner of his lips.

We stopped at a crosswalk to wait for the light to tell us we could walk. Marshall wrapped his arms around me, which surprised me because it was an unprompted public display of affection and he usually wasn’t big on that. I wasn’t about to fight it, however, and leaned into his embrace. Just before the walk signal flashed, I quickly kissed his cheek then pulled away from him to cross the street together.

It was a moment that I didn’t think too much about. Forgetting how extremely famous he is, I just thought of it as a quick moment of affection with my boyfriend while we were out running errands. Looking back, I should’ve been more aware of any potential paparazzi around us, but it was honestly the last thing on my mind.

It was Marshall’s daughter, Hailie, who made me aware that our picture had been taken. She had sent me a text with a picture attached, the message reading, “you and dad have become a meme! 😂”

It was the picture of the two of us at the crosswalk, Marshall with his arms around me and me leaning up to kiss his cheek. Of course whoever had been there had managed to catch the one moment of the most PDA that Marshall and I had ever shown. I really should not have been as surprised as I was.

Above the picture was a tweet from a fan account that read, “Em and (Y/N) really are the real life versions of that one line in Sk8er Boi”. The picture had a white bar above it with black text that included the aforementioned like from the famous Avril Lavigne song: “He was a punk, she did ballet, what more can I say?”

I couldn’t help but giggle to myself as I looked closer at the picture. Whoever had taken it had managed to perfectly capture Marshall’s serious looking face, while also getting in the slight smile I had on my face while I kissed his cheek. It was the perfect picture to show how polar opposites we were, while also just being funny to see Marshall looking so serious while being so sweet.

Marshall was sitting on the other side of the couch watching football as I received the message from Hailie, and my giggle caused him to look over at me and raise an eyebrow.

“What are you laughing at?” he asked.

I moved closer and held my phone up so he could see the image. I saw his eyes looking over the screen before he looked at me and said, “I don’t get it.”

I laughed. “It’s just a joke. It’s pointing out how different the two of us are in the image. So like you’re all serious and I’m all soft. I think it’s funny.”

I rested against him as I went on scrolling on my phone. Marshall didn’t say anything else about the image, but I could feel hid body tensing against mine. I knew he was thinking about something, and I was almost positive I knew exactly what that something was.

After nearly an hour of the silence, besides the sounds of the game coming from the screen, I tilted my head back to look up at Marshall. His eyes were staring straight forward at the TV, not making any acknowledgements that I was there at all.

“Penny for your thoughts?” I asked.

He shrugged in response. I sat up so I could actually look at him. “Marshall? Come on, what’s up?”

He shrugged again, but this time he added, “Nothing.”

“You forget that I know when you’re thinking about something. Is it about the meme I showed you? It’s just a joke, I didn’t mean to upset you with it.”

“You didn’t upset me,” he said. “I’m just thinking.”

“That’s usually pretty dangerous,” I teased. “What about?”

He didn’t respond at first. I didn’t want to push him, so I was about to let it go, until he said, “What if I’m not right for you because we’re so different?”

It caught me so off guard that my first reaction was to laugh a little, but when I saw the serious look on Marshall’s face I realized that he was being serious.

“Look at us in that picture,” he said, nodding towards my phone. “I look like I’m almost mad to be there, but you look all happy. You should be standing next to someone who is going to mirror your happiness in pictures like that.”

“Babe, this is just your public persona. I know that you’re happy to be with me, and you’ve mirrored my happiness in plenty of pictures. You really don’t have to worry about anything.”

“Maybe you should be with someone who is genuine even out in person, not someone who has such a negative public persona.”

I sighed and cupped Marshall’s face so he would look at me. “Listen here, you are not that persona you put on for the cameras. You have your reasons for that and I understand them, but just because you put that face on when we’re out in public does not mean I deserve someone better. There’s no one better for me than you, Marshall. I adore you so much, and you are the sweetest person in the world. Don’t let something like this get to you.”

For added measure, I pulled him forward to kiss him. He smiled at me as I pulled away and put an arm around my shoulders to pull me back into his side.

“That was corny as fuck,” he said.

I laughed and playfully elbowed him in the side.

hi i know it was short i’m sorry i hope you enjoyed it though

oh my god i was scrolling through my acc and like. let's talk about tsurugi and kouhei again for a second.

do you think tsurugis classmates... know????

like. they've gotta know about kouhei.

(under the cut, talks about kouhei + his death, soooo t3rr0r1sm + b0mb1ng, brief mentions of m1tsuh1r0 in point 4)

1) before kouhei died, he was supposedly on track to become shsl police officer instead of tsurugi/maybe it was a toss up, but i think it was the former (i'm pretty sure this is said by tsurugi, so it could just be his perception of things, but it doesn't make sense for him to lie about this: either way, we can use this to put him and tsurugi at about the same caliber)

2) we know kouhei died. recently, at least by in game memory standards, since i'm not starting that argument up again.

3) it's implied that before kouheis death, while tsurugi still had his same moral code (see: the incident with his father figure getting shot, in tsurugis ftes) he was more open and friendly, more trusting

4) we know maeda, who couldn't recognize beloved star soccer player higa (maeda says higa is famous and that he's got a lot of people in the general population who'd recognize him) recognized tsurugi and had seen him on tv, meaning that tsurugis decently famous

so. kouhei was killed within the past year at the longest, if not more recently, and was as skilled as tsurugi, who's been interviewed on tv and is likely otherwise the focus of news articles, even if he doesn't do much on tv

meaning... wouldn't someone? have said something?? about kouhei??????? some news outlet have keyed into an explosion that tsurugi was seen at, and that suddenly, kouhei has vanished, and tsurugis acting fucking traumatized and has closed off???

like even if the stuff with kouhei is kept under wraps. someone's gonna ask questions, and imo, the better option is to make an announcement saying kouhei died defusing a bomb, and not elaborating, for his families privacy, the fact kouhei was a minor, the stations reputation, to keep people from panicking that a potential shsl cop was killed by 'terrorists' and yk. the fact that they're fucking lying and it was staged

and you're telling me this wouldn't come up in interviews with tsurugi? you're telling me this information isn't going somewhat viral, even if just for a moment? people aren't side eyeing? or curious? not a single member of class 79 remembered this happened and that tsurugi and kouhei were close???

im just saying. y'all are missing out if you're not thinking about everyone in that god damn classroom subtly staring at tsurugi whenever anything vaguely related to his past comes up? maeda wasn't sitting there learning about how kouhei died and thinking about all the true crime theory videos he watched about this. it's so fucking hilarious.

tsurugis wistfully talking about his childhood friend, thinking he's soooo slick and kizuna, sitting right next to him is fucking. trying to find pics of leel kouhei because she swears there was an obituary with a picture of him as a kid. kiyokas phone goes off as tsurugis talking about how much he loved (totally platonically why is everyone looking at him) his friend and it's a text from kizuna with a picture of 7 year old kouhei grinning up at the camera as tsurugi, in the background, is about to face plant into the dirt.

tsurugi doesn't know why kiyoka looks like she's about to fucking cry but he feels... oddly disrespected

#dra #tsurugi kinjo #kouhei sasaki #kizuna tomori #kiyoka maki #analysis #but also it dissolved into a shit post #because i was thinking of like... what tsurugis fte must've been like for maeda if he knew #oh #yuki maeda #utsuro #anyways #and then i was thinking about the rest of the class #and figured u all should know about this. funny little theory of mine

I agree with you. I think we should all pause on the bi Misha posts until he says something. One of the people from his meet and greet is someone whose opinion I trust a lot, and they’re really not happy about the stands email. It really does seem like either Misha isn’t bi or he is and just was not ready to come out publicly yet

hi anon!!

yeah i've been kinda stalking the twitter accounts of the people who went to that m&g cuz all of this is giving me a lot of anxiety (which is something unhealthy and I def should unpack that in therapy) cuz it seems like we're doing something wrong but no one is telling us what exactly we are doing wrong so I've just been obsessively stalking their accounts basically in the hope of piecing together what happened lol (I swear I'm not a stalker tho)

and from what i've been piecing together it seems that either he didn't come out but I would imagine he would have quickly shut those assumptions down then or he did come out but didn't mean to

i said this before but there is a huge difference between possibly coming out in an intimate setting at a con surrounded by fans and bi people who are openly and proudly proclaiming they are bi and thus are a safe group to potentially come out to and a video of you seemingly coming out going viral and getting picked up by major tabloids with an influx of biphobic and ageist shit

seems to me that maybe he didn't mean to come out as viral as it went and I can't imagine how anxiety-inducing all of this then has to be. not to mention that there are unfortunately a lot of biphobic people and a lot of real shitheads in this world and I can't imagine being confronted with that so viscerally when it's about you personally.

i'm guessing he hasn't said something either way because the convention was still happening and perhaps he wants to communicate it with his publicist beforehand.

just hope he's okay. he seemed okay but still

Ok I need headcanons for Katsuki trying to teach his gender neutral S/O how to play the drums except the only thing they end up learning is the "ba dum tsss" and they keep doing that and making drum puns until Katsuki just gives up

This was the best request i’ve ever received. Thank u anon 😔

〰️💥 Bakugo trying to teach you drums but u just keep going “badum tss” 💥〰️

Warning: crack ahead

Not the drug i mean it’s gonna be a giggle x

💥 Can I just say. You are a national treasure amongst the bakusquad

💥 Like how someone as funny as you managed to tame BAKUGO??? Mina thinks ur a witch

💥 You beg him to teach you drums. He says no every single time. But you are the most PERSISTENT s/o out there n u ain’t givin up so easily. So u just PLEAD nonstop until he eventually says yes

💥 And boy has my man never regretted a decision more in his entire life

💥 He’s the worst teacher ever for one. Like veteran points to u for surviving this shit bro cus he can and will throw a drumstick as your head if you fuck with him too much

💥 No matter how many times he tries to teach you, you just keep playing the same “badum tss” over and over

💥 It grinds his fucking gears lmaooo

💥 “Bet you thought teaching me would be cymbal-er, huh kats-”

“SHUT UP”

💥 “Guess i’ll just have to deal with the re-percussions of never playing the drums again”

You swear one day he’s gonna bite you

💥 Kaminari records the whole thing and it goes viral in like, a night.

💥 Bakugo does not understand why this is so FUNNY TO YOU. why can’t you just play the drums like aNY OTHER NORMAL PERSON DAMNIT?!?!

💥 He doesn’t give up for at least a week. He sits you down. He plays a simple beat over and over again, and then he hands you the drumsticks

💥 The drumsticks with so much potential. So much ability. He thinks you’re ready. You look determined this time. He’s getting his hopes up and you swear you can see him hold his breath in anticipation

💥 You don’t even get to finish your badum tss before the entire drumkit is fucking thrown to the floor

💥 And everyone except for him thinks this is fucking hilarious

💥 It becomes an inside joke between you both from here on out. When it’s in a movie, you’ll both look at each other. One bursting with laughter and the other glaring daggers

💥 You know he doesn’t mean it but it sure is fun to see him lose his cool while you go “badum tss” in the background

💥 You, mina, Kaminari, and Sero set it to your ringtones for an entire week. The operation was IMMEDIATELY canceled when Mina’s phone got yeeted into cement.

💥 That was the last time our explosion boy was ever badum tss’ed

Genre: FanficWriter!Jungkook, Idol!Reader, College!AU, Angst, Fluff

Summary: There are two students in your art class with a secret: you and the quiet Jeon Jungkook. You’re a problematic idol singer, infamous for your ice cold reputation and perpetual resting bitch face; he’s the artist and author behind the viral comic series based on a certain ice queen idol. After a blowup of destructive rumors, lost motivation and inevitable solitude, you stumble upon Jungkook’s comic and find a new and unexpected light.

“So are you in, Jimin?”

“I’m in,” he chuckles at your little proposal. His laugh retains its charm, even through the phone. You’d be lying if you said you weren’t a little jealous of that charming quality of his. “But can I ask you something, Snow?”

“Go for it.”

“Why me?”

“To prove a point,” you say. “You also have something to prove, right? Otherwise you wouldn’t have shown up at my concert that night despite being well aware of how the public and media would react.”

“Right… Sorry about that, by the way.” You hear the sorrow still beating him up in his lowered voice. It makes sense that he feels the need to blame himself for all the backlash you received, but he shouldn’t have to feel guilty when all he wanted was a little freedom as a normal human being and not as the perfect idol the world makes him out to be.

“It’s fine, Jimin. We may be glorified idols at the top of the industry, but there are a lot of things we have no control over.”

“True… Sometimes it seems like the only way to escape the judgment of the public eye is to hide behind a mask, huh.” Jimin sighs. “But we can’t always live like that either.”

“Exactly.”

After hanging up, you toss your phone aside and pick up your guitar.

-

On your way to class, you’ve made a habit of checking jk.seagull’s blog for any updates on Witch Hazel, and you’re delighted when you find this new text post:

“it’s not done yet, but I’m planning on posting a new chapter this afternoon after class!”

To celebrate the occasion, you stop by your local coffee shop to pick up a special mocha with extra whipped cream. You’re already late for class after failing to hear your five alarms this morning anyway. And besides, maybe you deserve a little pick-me-up after all the writing you’d done the night before. For once, you feel pretty good about the direction you’re headed in.

Not even a scolding by your professor could ruin your mood.

“Oh, Y/N. How nice of you to join us,” your professor motions for you to take your seat as soon as you step foot into the art room. “I was just talking about how certain students have not been taking this class seriously as of late.”

She glances directly at you, along with your tablemates, Taehyung and Jungkook. “Sorry,” you mouth with a lack of sincerity, before taking a long sip of your mocha.

“And because of that,” the professor continues, “I’ve decided to move up the due date of our portrait project to tomorrow.”

A collective groan fills the room from the entire class, with the exception of those few lucky bastards who’ve already completed their project early. Once the class is dismissed, the scramble to actually get shit done begins. Even Taehyung opts to stick around as opposed to his usual obligations, and that speaks volumes.

As soon as your team relocates to one of the empty art studios nearby, however, it’s apparent that no one is really vibing with this project.

“So… what’s the assignment again?” Taehyung scratches his head. As much as you’d love to scold the boy for his lack of awareness of anything happening in art class, you haven’t been in the proper mindset to give the project any thought either.

“Something about drawing ourselves based on how others perceive us?” Jungkook yawns. “Or was it drawing each other’s portrait?”

“The first one, I think,” you say. “It doesn’t really make a difference when Jungkook’s gonna end up drawing Taehyung’s portion anyway.”

“True,” the boys say together. If there’s one thing you’ve learned from your art class shenanigans, it’s that the more you get to know someone, the easier it is to understand them and their actions—even if they’re completely different from you like Taehyung.

“If that’s the case, let’s hurry up and let each other know how we perceive one another. I have a doubleheader later on that I’d really hate to miss,” Taehyung nods in satisfaction at his clever wording for what you presume to be back-to-back one night stands. “I’ll start: Y/N, there’s not much I know about you besides the fact that you’re unfriendly, but I think that’s intentional. Like you’re hiding a dark secret or something. Jungkook, if you weren’t so shy, I’m sure you’d get laid more often.”

“Let’s not sugarcoat anything,” you roll your eyes. “I would say you, Taehyung, abuse your charm to get what you want. You use sleeping around as an excuse to avoid responsibility. And you embrace it because you fear that that’s the only thing people will ever acknowledge you for.”

“I’m not usually a masochist, but I kind of like it when you roast me like that, Y/N,” Taehyung shrugs it off, though you know you’ve hit the mark. Everyone has a poker face, and Kim Taehyung is no exception. To take the attention off of himself, he throws an arm around his favorite art buddy. “Roast this guy next.”

You glance over at Jungkook who’s in the midst of adding to your roast on Taehyung. It’s interesting to see how differently he acts with Taehyung, with you, and with everyone else. The more he knows someone, the less he withholds. If he knew you more, you wonder what he’d tell you. “I agree that if Jungkook weren’t so shy, there’d be more potential for a lot of things, but-”

Buzz! Taehyung looks down at his phone. “Well, that’s my cue. Jungkook, Y/N, you know what to do~”

“Have fun at your doubleheader,” you wave off your incompetent teammate until he’s out of sight. “Should we be enabling him like this?”

“Probably not. But even I can’t say no to that charm of his.” Jungkook sighs as he pulls out a blank sheet of bristol paper. In what feels like an instant, several dots and lines transform into a general outline of Taehyung’s face. “I’m surprised you haven’t fallen for his charm yet… unless…?”

“Look, I get the appeal of a smoothtalker who walks with confidence, but Taehyung really isn’t my type,” you laugh.

“Still, I’m a little envious of him.” Jungkook draws Taehyung a nice and natural wink. “Because he isn’t afraid to chase after what he wants.”

You want to tell the boy that he should chase after whatever it is he wants, but you know that’s easier said than done. After all, you know exactly how it feels to take that leap of faith, only to fall short before reaching the dream you so desired. So all you can do is nod and start working on your own portrait.

For about five whole minutes, you try to sketch out a decent upside-down egg shape for your head, but it always comes out a little lopsided or rough around the edges. Once you’ve got a little mountain of eraser shaving piling up, you decide it’s time to sneak a peek at Jungkook’s sketch to get an idea of how a well-seasoned artist draws a proper face.

What you see instead, however, is the boy staring back at your mountain of eraser shavings. You swear you hear a little pft come out of his mouth. The nerve.

“Hold your pencil like this,” he says, holding his own pencil with his pinky sticking out.

You replicate his grip, wiggling the pinky. “Is this some sort of weird pinky promise that artists do?”

Before Jungkook can even respond, your pinky is already linked to his. Funny how his finger curled around yours as if it were the most normal thing to do, but his burning cheeks say otherwise. You might’ve jumped the gun on this one.

After blinking at the empty pinky promise for a good three seconds, the boy finally lets go. “Use that pinky to steady your hand as you sketch.”

“Oh… right…” You feel a wildfire spreading across your own cheeks. Your dumbass somehow misinterpreted a drawing technique for something as childish as a pinky promise! Whether it’s because you’re flustered or just shitty at art, you fumble around to get your pencil on the paper. “…How do I do it again?”

Rather than trying to explain or demonstrate it to you, Jungkook motions for you to come closer. So you do. He takes your hand and individually sets each finger onto your pencil like a guitar teacher helping their student find the right chord position.

You’re pleasantly surprised by how gentle his touch is. Rather than forcing your fingers to conform to the conventional ways of an artist, he gives them the little push they need to find their own place along the length of the pencil—wherever is most comfortable for you.

Once you’ve got a good grip, Jungkook guides your pencil back to the canvas with your pinky just barely touching the drawing surface. “Now try drawing the outline of your face again.”

You do as you’re told and see immediate results. Although it’s not a perfect egg, your lines are noticeably smoother as if your skin had just been cleared. Jungkook gives you and your improved egg a thumbs-up, which you return with a thumbs-up of your own.

As you both resume your portraits, you can’t help but wonder if it was the tiny adjustment of how you held your pencil that made the difference. Or if it was Jeon Jungkook himself. You suppose only time will tell.

Several hours later, Jungkook has finished Taehyung’s portrait, you still need to color yours in, and an announcement goes off through the intercom.

“Due to the art auction charity event tonight, this building will be closing in ten minutes. Thank you.”

You groan. This is the worst case scenario for your damn group project. Because if you’re kicked out of the studio, you won’t have access to all of the necessary art supplies.

Unless…?

You exchange glances with the most devoted artist you know.

-

Jungkook’s apartment is not exactly how you imagined a weeby Snow stan’s habitat to look. There’s not a trace of Snow, nor is there a hint of magic anime girls floating around. But the one thing you did correctly predict is the amount of art scattered across the boy’s room.

Everywhere you look, you’re blown away by something different from the last. A painted city landscape detailed enough to be mistaken for an actual photo, a busy abstract pattern that makes the little wheels in your head spin, the familiar animation booklet of the flower in the snow, and an interesting little doodle that doesn't seem to scream “college art project”.

You try to make sense of what appears to be the chaos that ensues when the worlds of mathematics and music collide. Half of the basic times tables chart is replaced with values represented by music notes. The math nerd in you laughs when you see that a sixteenth note is correctly placed where two quarter notes align. Similarly, the music sheet on the other side of the doodle has a time signature of “75%” aka ¾ time aka the rhythm of a waltz.

“How old were you when you drew this one?” You point to the artwork titled Math Musician written in tiny font at the bottom corner next to the boy’s initials.

Jungkook chuckles, probably out of embarrassment. “I think I was ten.”

“Imagine being a talented artist at age ten. Can’t relate,” you clown yourself as you pull out your unfinished portrait from your art bag. In addition to looking “unfriendly”, your drawn face is rather lifeless and more so demonic for some reason. Hopefully some color will bring more dimension and life back into your flesh.

Just then, you realize you’ve made a fatal mistake.

“Umm, Jungkook?” you continue to stare down at your mistake. “I forgot to factor in your opinion of me into my portrait and now I just look unfriendly like Taehyung said.”

Jungkook tilts his head to get a better look at your monstrosity. His reaction could go one of three ways: he could laugh and give you a hard time about it, he could help you find a solution, or he could do both.

“You definitely nailed the ‘unfriendly’ part,” he snickers. “The RBF is strong with this one.”

“So you agree that I’m unfriendly?” On one hand, that would be good because you won’t have to revise your portrait if Jungkook shares the same opinion as Taehyung. On the other hand, you don’t want Jungkook to have that opinion of you.

“Not necessarily,” he says. “I think if people looked beyond your unfriendly demeanor, they’d find someone very different.”

Before you can ask the boy to elaborate, he has already left and come back with the solution to your problem: fancy coloring markers.

“Since you already drew your appearance based on Taehyung’s opinion, you can color it in based on my opinion, if that makes it easier.” Jungkook hands you an assortment of markers, though a large portion of them are just different shades of one color in particular. Yellow.

Yellow was the last color you were expecting. You expected cooler and darker tones like blues or greys to match your ice queen personality. But yellow? Yellow, to you, has always meant bright and happy.

“Yellow is a happy color, isn’t it?” You start swatching each shade of yellow to see how they translate onto a white canvas. Your favorite shade out of the bunch is the soft pale one called Banana Milk, but that still doesn’t mean it suits you. To prove your point, you hold up your unfriendly demon portrait to your actual face and pout. “Do either of these faces look happy to you, Jungkook?”

“No, but they do look silly.” The boy cracks a smile at your humor. “In a good way.” The way he smiles so brightly plants a dangerous little seed in your head. Maybe the yellow is meant to represent not how he perceives your feelings, but rather, how he perceives his own feelings for you.

-

By the time evening comes, you’ve shaded in every inch of your canvas, completing your portion of the portrait project. You were right—the bright colors really did help bring life back into your face, and there’s less of a demonic aura about it now.

It also looks like one big contradiction: an unfriendly-looking face with a cheerful brightness around it. But that’s probably what Jungkook was referring to when he said you were very different beneath your unfriendly mask.

As you stretch out your arms and yawn, you peek over at the boy’s progress with his portrait. He stares down at his markers scattered across the floor, pushing his long locks out of his eyes, in search of his next color. From the small portion that he has colored so far, you notice a big difference between his portrait and yours. While your color scheme is bright and flashy like a star, Jungkook’s is soft and subtle to mimic his shy and lowkey personality.

“Use this,” you toss him the Banana Milk marker and pull a scrunchie off your wrist, “and this too.”

Jungkook places the pale yellow marker down right on the area he’ll color next. He doesn’t, however, know what to do with the foreign hair accessory in his palm. He just blinks at it.

With a dramatic sigh, you join the boy on the floor and take back the scrunchie. Like a puppy with long bangs poking its eyes, he lets you comb your fingers through his hair before tying a tiny sprout on top of his head.

“So this is what the world looks like,” he nods, as if his long hair had greatly hindered his view of the world in front of him. At the same time, he spots the finished product of your portrait. “Your self-portrait is a lot different from how I would draw you.”

“I would’ve appreciated a compliment for my hard work, but go ahead and insult me, Jeon.” You square up.

“Oh sorry. You did a phenomenal job, Y/N.” He doesn’t even try to put effort into masking his sarcasm as pity praise. But that’s expected in how he hasn’t missed a single opportunity to tease you and your shitty art. “It’s just interesting how differently others interpret us from how we interpret ourselves.”

Now you’re curious. “How would you draw me then?”

“You want to see?” Jungkook pushes his own portrait aside and starts digging around for a sketchbook with a blank page to spare. What possesses him to prioritize a drawing of you before his own portrait that’s due in less than 24 hours? You won’t allow that.

“I want to see it after our project is finished, please,” you pull his unfinished portrait back in front of him before making yourself comfy on the boy’s bed. “In the meantime, I’ll be reading you-know-what.”

“Smut?” The boy has a dirty mind, it seems.

“Unless Witch Hazel plans on getting a little smutty, no, I will not be reading smut.” With a hmph, you scroll through jk.seagull’s blog. “I wonder if the new chapter is posted yet.”

Jungkook, too, picks up his phone with wide eyes when he hears you say “new chapter”. Your hype and excitement around the fanfic must be rubbing off on him.

But unfortunately for you, there is no new post since the one you saw before class. You make a sad booboo face, but it isn’t the end of the world either. You’ll just have to reread the series from the beginning as you wait for either Witch Hazel to be updated or Jungkook to finish the project. Whichever happens first.

“Wait, I think the seagull guy just posted something.”

You’ve never jumped onto your phone so quick when Jungkook mentions the seagull guy. It isn’t a new chapter of Witch Hazel, but instead another small text post.

“sorry for not updating witch hazel today like i said i would!! i was bombarded with an unexpected art assignment;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;”

Your sad booboo face disappears. It seems you’re not the only one struggling to find balance between the arts and the need to satisfy others. “Isn’t it funny that he’s an art student too?”

“Haha, yeah…” Jungkook’s voice fades as he returns to his portrait.

“Maybe that’s why I like his work so much,” you say, clicking back to the very first chapter of Witch Hazel where Snow is helping out those who she had unintentionally scared away with her witchcraft. “He just gets it.”

“He gets what?”

With the biggest yawn, you shrug because you don’t really know how to put it into words. It just feels as though you and him think alike. And the thought of that is comforting enough to put you to rest until Jungkook finishes up the project.

“Y/N.” You hear things shuffling around in your half-asleep state. When you rise from mysterious pile of blankets on top of you, you see Jungkook putting his art supplies away and clearing space on the floor for him to camp out since you’ve apparently claimed his bed.

“Did you finish?” You check the time in the dimly lit room, and you’re shocked to see it’s past midnight.

“Yeah.” He pulls your scrunchie out of his hair and drops it into your palm. “Thank you for your service.”

“Keep it.” You slide the hair tie onto the boy’s wrist when you notice he looks a little different somehow. The hoodie he was wearing earlier is replaced with a plain white tee, and his torn jeans have become grey sweatpants. The unspoken reality of you stay over at the boy’s apartment is slowly becoming realized. “In exchange, I’d like to see how you’d draw me.”

“Already done,” he says, jogging to his desk and back to you with a page from his sketchbook in hand. “I drew you as a superhero.”

“What kind of superhero?” You kick the blankets off of you and reach for the drawing, but of fucking course, Jungkook pulls it back real quick just when you were about to snatch it. “Let me see!”

He keeps it hidden behind his back for a while until he gets a little too cocky and dangles it above where you’re sitting on the bed. It would be too predictable for you to reach for the hand with drawing in it, so you decide to aim for the other arm to trap him in.

But rather than latching onto his arm, you catch only a piece of the scrunchie around his wrist, causing you both to lose balance. Your back hits the soft bedding as you stare up into the eyes of the boy who just so happened to land on top of you. Aha, you finally figure out why he looked a little different after you woke up. No glasses, just his handsome brown eyes.

You’d give yourself a pat on the back for figuring that out if you weren’t distracted by the drawing of you as a “superhero”. You were expecting something tough like the Avengers or Sailor Moon or even Izuku Midoriya. But instead you see someone who looks very much like yourself with a guitar and yellow flower crown.

“That’s not a superhero,” you say quietly.

“There are people who would feel otherwise.” Jungkook plops down next to you on his stomach.

“Like who?”

“Like people you share your music with.”

You bite your lip before rolling off the bed to run and get something. When you hop back onto the bed, you drop a pencil into Jungkook’s hand make him hold it with his pinky out like he had shown you earlier. You do the same with another pencil and link your pinky to his once more.

“Promise me you won’t tell anyone what I’m about to tell you.”

[winterskywrites]

Paparazzi catch Batwoman and Supergirl kissing and they go viral. Kara panics because she wasn't ready to come out yet and Kate comforts her.

Kate looks down at the tablet and swallows hard. This is... Well, it’s not the worst thing in the world, but it’s not great either. And it’s definitely going to upset Kara, which makes it a pretty bad thing in Kate’s book.

But Kara’s going to see it sooner or later, so Kate picks up the tablet and goes to her bedroom to show her now. It’ll be best if she isn’t blindsided, she thinks, and Kara’s going to need a friendly shoulder right now.

“Kate?” Kara asks, lifting her head up from the pillows. “What’s up?”

“I have something to show you,” Kate says. The solemnity of her voice makes Kara sit up a little more. “It’s... not great, but it’s going to be okay.”

“You’re scaring me,” Kara says, her voice wavering a little. “What is it?”

Kate sighs, and she hands Kara the tablet.

“Oh,” Kara says in a small voice as she looks down at the pictures. “Oh.”

“I didn’t know anyone was there,” Kate says quietly. “I wouldn’t have done it if I did. I knew you weren’t ready to come out yet.”

“Looks like that ship has sailed,” Kara says, looking at the picture of her and Kate kissing in costume that’s splashed over every tabloid in Gotham, at the very least, and potentially most of the tabloids in the country.

“Are you okay?” Kate asks tentatively.

“I-” Kara looks down at the picture. “I wasn’t ready. I didn’t want people to know. I wanted to tell people on my own schedule. This is supposed to be my thing. I’m supposed to be able to tell people when I want to. This... This...”

“I know,” Kate says, sitting down in bed next to Kara. “I know, and I’m sorry.”

“I wasn’t ready,” Kara repeats. “I wanted to wait until I was. This isn’t fair, Kate. I should have been able to wait. I just wanted...”

“I know,” Kate repeats, putting a hand on Kara’s shoulder. “I know, Kara.”

“Everyone knows now,” Kara says, her grip tightening on the tablet. “They all know, and I didn’t want them to know, and I’m not ready for them to know, and I don’t know what to do, Kate, what do I do?”

Kate sighs deeply. “We deal with it,” she says softly, wishing they could do more. “We keep moving forward. I know you wanted to come out when you were ready. You deserved to be able to come out when you were ready, and it’s awful that someone stole that from you. But now... We just need to move on. There’s nothing else we can do.”

Kara’s grip tightens on the tablet until it cracks. “Oh! Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean-”

“It’s okay,” Kate says, taking the broken tablet out of Kara’s hands. “It’s okay, Kara. It’s all going to be okay.”

And Kara’s right, it’s not fair. Kara’s coming out should have been her decision. She should have been able to wait until she was comfortable. Being outed like this... It’s awful. Kate wouldn’t wish it on her worst enemy, much less her girlfriend. She hates that it’s happened. She wishes she could undo it, but she can’t.

So right now, she’ll just hold out her arms for Kara to collapse into, and she’ll hold her as she cries, and she’ll figure out a way to make everything alright. It’s the least Kara deserves.

“It’s gonna be okay,” she whispers into Kara’s ear. “I promise. I’ll make it okay.”

And she swears to herself that she will.
