Cabinet Battle 1
Part 5 of the Drarry x Hamilton Musical fic no one asked for!
Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4
Cast after-parties meant one thing and one thing only to Draco Malfoy: rap battles. Though it was all new to him, he spent all of his free time devouring all of the hip-hop he could get his hands on like a starving man. It took some time before he became comfortable participating in cast battles, but eventually, he earned his role as Aaron Burr on a night just like this one. Needless to say, he cherished these gatherings. Even when he was paired with someone who poked at all of his bruises.
Tonight, it was Seb of course. Perceptive, slutty Seb who of course jabbed at Draco’s sex life and background. The competitive monster in Draco flared, and in this moment, nothing mattered more than getting that mic drop moment and making Seb bow at his lyrical prowess. So when his turn came, he started—
That’s right, my name is Draco Malfoy,
I used to be the worst kind of white boy
With two fortunes and an estate
Before I lost it all when dad found out I’m super gay.
Son of a dumbass and a trophy
No shit
I struggle with feeling worthy.
I also have a tendency to fixate
Let me explain
How this mess means I have zero sex.
You ask why I don’t fuck around and have fun?
‘Cause I’ve loved the same guy since forever, son.
But I’m so good at this thing called acting
He swears I hate him when I’ve really just been lusting
After him for over a decade
Hiding love and passion under fury and yelling.
So while you’re fucking around like no problem,
I’ll wait right here for Prince Charming
My Chosen One
The room roared in approval, and Draco beamed. Victory had to be his. Seb shook his head and smirked, then finally bowed, begrudgingly admitting his defeat. In an instant, Draco’s triumph disappeared. Because standing behind Seb was a slack-jawed Harry Potter.
The second to last part is here! Part 6

“Don’t you think this is an invasion of privacy?” said Remus, always the voice of reason among the three. Sirius seemed to contemplate the statement while James, quick to justify their actions, shook his head immediately. “S’not like we’re doing anything wrong right? We’re just checking if she’s okay,” James replied and Sirius nodded along. The next few minutes were spent in silence until they pulled into your driveway. 
Remus was the first to unlock the car door, ducking his head so it wouldn’t hit the roof before he stood out. Sirius got out right behind him, tugging on Remus’s sleeve to pull himself up. Remus stumbles back a little, not expecting to have to support Sirius’s weight for a few moments. The two boys turned back to look at James, still sitting in the driver's seat. 
“James,” said Remus, somehow knowing exactly what he was thinking.
“Yeah?” he replied.
“You having second thoughts?”
“Yeah,” he nodded.
“What happened to what you said earlier?” James opened his mouth and shut it as he thought about what he could say to explain his thought process. 
“What if she doesn’t want us here?”
“Then she’ll tell us, now come on,” Sirius says as he pulls James up and towards the door. Remus pressed his thumb against the doorbell and rapped the door when it didn’t ring. They could hear the pitter-patter of small feet against hardwood. The steps stopped abruptly, the recognizable lilt of your voice as you hushed them. The door opened and you looked up from the toddler you were holding, your eyes widening for a moment before you suppress your shock.
“Hi baby,” Remus said softly, not quite sure how loud he could afford to be around the baby.
“Hey,” you heard a cooing from further inside, ”sorry for not answering your calls earlier today, I just checked my messages.”
“Don’t be sorry dove, we were just worried for you that’s all,” you nodded and stared for a moment, not knowing exactly what to say. Sirius smiled slightly at the sight of the toddler chewing on your shoulder.
“What’s her name?” he said, nodding towards the child in your arms. 
“Adelaide but I call her Addie” you reply
“Is she your niece?” Sirius asked. Remus slapped his arm, reminding him not to be that direct with his questions. Sirius winced but looked back at you.
“No she’s mine,” you said, flicking your eyes to each of theirs to gauge their reactions. James clears his throat, having been silent for the past few minutes.
“Can I hold her?” your eyes snapped to him as you tried to guess whether he was serious or not.
“Really? No other questions?” He shook his head slightly confused. You handed her over to him and James stared at her, adoration prominent in his gaze.
“She’s gorgeous” he breathed, as if she was glass and he was scared of breaking her. 
“Thanks, she realized that a while ago,” your tone half-joking, “you wanna come in? It’s freezing out.” James nodded slightly, still entranced by the child in his arms, while Remus and Sirius both said yes and stepped inside. The scraping of chairs against wood was audible as you shut the door. Three small bodies came running towards you, two attaching themselves to your legs and the other jumping into your arms. 
“Ma, who’s that?” the oldest, Dawn, said, pointing towards the boys. You thought about it for a moment, not knowing exactly what to say to them.
“They’re my friends, baby,” you said, not clear on whether to explain further. She turned away and pulled her arms from around your legs to go closer to them. She seemed to be enamored by Sirius, something about the boy catching her eye. Perhaps it was the glint of his rings, the girl had always had an affinity for all things shiny. Either way, Dawn walked towards Sirius, lifting her arms as if asking him to pick her up. Sirius looked to you for your approval before picking her up. She seemed to have some sort of attraction to the boy's hair, grabbing at it and tugging lightly. Sirius laughed it off though, chalking it up to childlike wonder. 
Alec, the next oldest, walked towards Remus, the pale white scars running across his face seemed to intrigue him. Remus seemed confused at first, not knowing exactly how to react to the boy tugging at his hand. He crouched after a few moments, listening to the boy’s chatter and nodding along with a smile on his face. Your youngest,  seemed perfectly content in your arms, little hands already gripping your shirt as he pressed his face into your neck. 
James was still holding Addie, but now he was sitting on your couch with her on his lap. He seemed to be having an animated conversation with her, about what you couldn’t possibly tell, the girl's interests changed hourly. James seemed to be entertaining her though, the smile on his face evident as his eyes snapped towards yours for a moment before they returned to where they were. You walked towards them and sat beside James on the couch. It seemed almost right seeing them like this, as if this was the way it should’ve been from the start.
Dawn started squirming in Sirius’s arms, her palms that were previously placed around his neck now pushing herself away from his chest. Sirius set her down gently after he realized she wanted to be put down. So Dawn came tumbling towards you with the same amount of grace in her step as a newborn baby deer and she tugged at your arm. You crouched to meet her eye level and she whispered something into your ear, looking back and forth between you and the boys.
“You’ll have to ask them hon,” at that, their eyes snapped to yours, waiting for Dawn to ask them something. She went back to Sirius and stared up at him, lifting her arms so he’d pick her up and whispered, “can all of you stay for dinner?” It was obvious she was trying to be quiet, but whispering quietly had never been one of her strong suits, so the other boys, as well as Alec and Addie, just waited for Sirius to answer for all three of them. 
“We’ll stay if you want us to, doll, it’s up to you,” said Sirius, turning the conversation back to you. You thought about it for a moment, contemplating your answer, before nodding slowly.

Vai fica todo pomposo com cara de "ganhei na loteria"
Nervoso vai fica se movimentando até começa toca a marcha nupcial
Vai fica encantado te olhando se aproxima dele
Você e ele rindo de nervosos um pro outro quando subirem no altar
Vai fica soltando risinhos de nervoso toda hora que olha pra você
"Eu tô tão feliz, amor, você tá feliz?"
Fez os votos em forma de rap pra fica bonitinho
Vai gagueja na hora dos votos e ter que repetir umas partes porque ficou nervoso
Você e ele vão rir na parte do "respeitar-te" e do "na riqueza…" (aí aí essas crianças!)
Vai fica tímido na hora do beijo e tapa com a mão
Vai sair do salão com os braços abertos tipo "venci família" apontando pra geral tipo "tú viu, casei mesmo! O pai tá off!" __________________________♡_____________________________
It's going to get all pompous with a "I won the lottery" face
Nervous, keeps moving until the wedding march starts
He will be enchanted looking at you as you approach him
You and him laughing nervously at each other when you walk down the aisle
He'll be giggling nervously every time he looks at you
"I'm so happy, baby, are you happy?"
Made the vows in the form of a rap to look cute
He will stutter at the time of the vows and have to repeat a part because he got nervous
You and he will laugh at the "respect you" and "in wealth…" (kids! ^^)
He will get shy at the time of the kiss and cover it with his hand so no one sees
He's going to leave the salon with his arms open like "I won, family!" pointing to the general like "you see, I really got married! Dad's off!"

Hongjoong
Vai fica vendo se tá tudo certo, se o padre tá bem, se música vai toca na hora certa
Vai fingi que tá calmo, mas vai fica se balançando de nervoso quando tiver no altar
Vai fica ajeitando a roupa dos membros que são os padrinhos e mandando eles se comporta
Vai fica te olhando igual cachorro que caiu da mudança enquanto você se aproxima do altar
Quando você tiver perto, vai fica sorrindo e balançando a cabeça de tão feliz que tá
"Já falei que te amo hoje?"
Vai fica atento ao que o padre fala, mas vai acha tudo muito demorado
Disse que escreveu os votos do fundo do coração
Fica todo bobo ouvindo você ler os votos tipo "é de mim que ela tá falando!"
Vai dá um risinho quando você disser o "aceito"
Vai segura firme sua mão depois que vocês colocarem as alianças
Vai dá um selinho na hora do beijo porque tá tímido
Queria te carrega nas costas na saída mas lembro que precisa se comporta
____________________________♡______________________________
He'll see if everything is right, if the priest is okay, if the music is going to play at the right time
He'll pretend to be calm, but he'll be swaying nervously when he's at the altar
He will be adjusting the clothes of the members who are the godparents and telling them to behave
He'll stare at you like a dog that fell from the change as you approach the aisle
When you're around, you'll be smiling and shaking your head because you're so happy
"Did I tell you I love you today?"
He will pay attention to what the priest says, but he will find it all very time-consuming
He said he wrote the vows from the bottom of his heart
It gets all silly listening to you read the vows like "it's me she's talking about!"
he'll giggle when you say "I do"
He'll hold your hand tight after you put on your rings
He'll give you a little kiss because he's shy
He wanted to carry you on his back on the way out but I remember that he needs to behave
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Wooyoung
Tal qual uma criança, não vai para naquele altar
Vai fica perguntando para os membros que são os padrinhos se tá bonito
Vai fica cumprimentando os convidados de longe
Pergunta de 5 em 5 minutos se você já chegou (Se tivesse com o celular, já tava te ligando)
Quando ouvir a marcha nupcial, vai fica nervoso e começa a ri sozinho
Quando você entra, vai abri um sorrisão e começa a fica emocionado
Quando subir no altar, ele já vai tá chorando
Vai dar um beijinho no seu rosto quando você tiver perto dele e fica dizendo que você é linda
Vai fica sussurrando que você tá cheirosa
Vai fingi que esqueceu as alianças
Vai dizer nos votos que você tiro a sorte grande por se casar com ele
Vai fica todo se vangloriando quando você ler os votos
Vai fingi que tá pensando quando o padre pergunta se ele te aceita como esposa
Você vai fazer o mesmo com ele, e ele vai ri
Vai dá um beijo bonito e apaixonado
Vai sair todo tímido porque tá com vontade de chora
_____________________________♡_____________________________
Like a child, he won't stop at that aisle
He will keep asking the members who are the groomsmen if he looks good
He will be greeting guests from afar
he will ask every 5 minutes if you have already arrived (If he had his cell phone, he would already be calling you)
When you hear the wedding march, you will get nervous and start laughing to yourself
When you walk in, he'll crack a smile and start to get emotional
By the time he walks down the aisle, he'll already be crying
He will give you a kiss on the cheek when you are around him and keeps telling you that you are beautiful
He'll keep whispering that you smell good
He'll pretend he forgot his wedding rings
He will say in the vows that you hit the jackpot by marrying him
He'll get all bragging when you read the vows
He'll pretend to think when the priest asks if he accepts you as his wife
You'll do the same to him, and he'll laugh
He will give you a beautiful and passionate kiss
He'll leave all shy because he feels like crying
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yunho
Vai pedir ajuda dos membros para saber o lugar onde tem que fica porque tá muito nervoso
Vai fica balançando a mão dando oi ou se curvando pra todo mundo
Vai fica nervoso e com os olhinhos brilhando esperando a porta abrir quando ouvir a marcha nupcial começar
Vai chora quando te ver, vai chora quando você chega perto, vai usa o lenço do paletó toda hora
Vai segura sua mão, te ajudar a subir e arrumar o seu véu
Vai fica fazendo carinho no seu rosto as vezes quando olha pra você
"Você tá muito linda, parece uma princesa!"
Vai beija sua aliança antes e depois de coloca
Você e ele vão ficar brincando com os dedos enquanto dão as mãos
As vezes você e ele vão se olha e sorri um pro outro
Os votos dele são curtinhos mas adoráveis que te fazem sorrir
Ele vai fica surpreso com seus votos e ficar com as bochechas rosadas
Vai ficar em dúvida na hora do beijo se te beija mesmo ou se dá apenas um selinho
No fim resolve dá um selinho fofo
Vai encaixa seu braço no braço dele quando vocês estiverem indo embora como se dissesse "agora estou ao seu lado!"
_____________________________♡_____________________________
He will ask for help from the members to know where he has to stay because he is very nervous
He'll be waving his hand, saying hello or bowing to everyone
He will get nervous and with his little eyes shining waiting for the door to open when he hears the wedding march start
He'll cry when he sees you, he'll cry when you get close, he'll wear the scarf on his jacket all the time
He will hold your hand, help you walk down the aisle and fix your veil
He'll caress your face sometimes when he looks at you
"You look so beautiful, you look like a princess!"
He will kiss your wedding ring before and after you put it on
You and he will be playing with your fingers while you hold hands with him
Sometimes you and he will look at each other and smile at each other
Their vows are short but adorable that make you smile
He will be surprised by your votes and get rosy cheeks
He will be in doubt at the time of the kiss if he gives you a kiss from the movies or if he just gives you a little kiss
In the end, it solves, it gives a cute kiss
He'll snap your arm into his arm when you're leaving, as if to say, "Now I'm by your side!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seonghwa
Fala pra todo mundo que tá muito nervoso e ansioso e fica se sacolejando
Diz que tá sentindo palpitações quando você começa a demora
De 5 em 5 minutos pergunta: "Ela já chegou?"
Quando a marcha nupcial começa, fica paralisado pois não sabe como reagir
Você mal entro ele já vai tá com os olhos cheios de lágrimas
Vai beija sua mão assim que você subir no altar
Vai fica te olhando enquanto o padre fala e fica fazendo carinho na sua mão
"Eu te amo muito, sabia!"
Falo que os votos seriam curtos (mentiu, tinha duas folhas)
Soltou um "wow" na hora dos seus votos admirado com o que você escreveu
Pediu pro Hongjoong guarda as alianças pois tinha medo de perde
O padre nem terminou, já disse SIM
Fico esperando você fazer o mesmo, e levantando a sobrancelha tipo "fala logo sim, mulher!"
Vai termina a hora do beijo com outro beijinho
Vai fica todo bobo agarrado em você na hora de sair da igreja
______________♡_________________
Tell everyone that he's very nervous and anxious and keeps shaking himself up
Says he's having palpitations when you start the delay
Every 5 minutes ask, "Has she arrived yet?"
When the wedding march begins, he is paralyzed because he doesn't know how to react
You barely get in, he's already going to have tears in his eyes
He will kiss your hand as soon as you walk down the aisle
He'll be looking at you while the priest talks and he'll be stroking your hand
"I love you so much, you know!"
He said the votes would be short (he lied, he had two sheets)
He let out a "wow" at the time of your vows, amazed at what you wrote about him
he asked Hongjoong to keep the rings because he was afraid of losing
The priest didn't even finish, he already said "I do"
He keeps waiting for you to do the same, and raising his eyebrow like "say i do right away, woman!!"
He will end the kiss time with another little kiss
He gets all silly clinging to you when it's time to leave the church
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Jongho
Vai tenta ficar sério no altar, mas as vezes vai dá uns pulinhos de nervoso
Fica aquecendo a voz, parece até que tá indo pra um show
Mexe no terno de 5 em 5 minutos, verifica as alianças toda hora
Quando a marcha nupcial toca, e você entrar, vai fica te olhando e sorrindo
Quando você chegar no altar, vai tira o véu, balança a cabeça pro lado e fazer cara de "eita, como tenho bom gosto!"
Óbvio que vai canta no casamento
Vai fala pra você não chora e te dar o lenço dele
Nos votos vai agradecer por você existir e ser um apoio pra ele
Vai fica nervoso na hora de coloca a aliança e colocar bem devagar pra ter certeza que coloco mesmo
Quando o padre pergunta se ele aceita, vai sorri e dizer "claro que aceito!"
Os membros vão ri e ele vai olha pra eles com cara de bravo
Vai fica todo pomposo quando você dizer "aceito" também
Vai segura seu rosto para te dar o beijo e ficar tímido depois
_____________________________♡_____________________________
He'll try to get serious at the aisle, but sometimes he'll jump up and down nervously.
Warms up your voice, it sounds like you're going to a concert
Tinker with the suit every 5 minutes, check the rings all the time
When the wedding march rings, and you walk in, he'll be looking at you and smiling
When you get to the aisle, he'll take off his veil, he'll shake his head to the side and make a face like "wow, I made a great choice!"
Obviously, you're going to sing at the wedding
He'll tell you not to cry and give you his scarf
In the votes, he will thank you for existing and being a support for him
He will get nervous when putting on the ring and put it on very slowly to make sure I put it on
When the priest asks if he accepts, he will smile and say "of course I do!"
The members will laugh and he will look at him with an angry face
He'll get all pompous when you say "I do" too
He will hold your face to give you the kiss and be shy afterwards
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeosang
Parece um anjo da igreja de tão bonito
Diz pro padrinhos que são os membros que tá com o coração acelerado
Fica se balançando de nervoso e dizendo "o que eu faço! O que eu faço!" parecendo uma criança confusa
Vai fica admirado olhando pra você vestida de noiva
Quando você entrar, vai fica sorrindo até você chega perto dele
Vai beija sua mão e te ajuda com o vestido
"Wow, como você tá linda!"
Vai fica olhando pro padre mas toda hora dá uma olhadinha pra você e sorri timidamente
Vai fica tímido na hora dos votos e dizer que você significa muito na vida dele
Vai chora nessa parte e você vai seca as lágrimas dele, que vai agradece
Vai ouvi os seus votos e fica te olhando com os olhinhos brilhando
Quase erra a mão de bota a aliança, vai sorri e pega a mão certa
Na hora do beijo vai fica com vergonha, vai dar um beijinho tímido na pontinha do seu nariz e depois nos seus lábios
Vai te estender a mão pra você encaixa os dedos quando vocês saírem da igreja
_____________________________♡_____________________________
He looks like a church angel because he is so beautiful
Tell the godparents, who are the members, that your heart is racing
He keeps shaking nervously and saying, "What do I do! What do I do!" looking like a confused child
He'll be amazed looking at you dressed as a bride
When you enter, he will keep smiling until you get close to him
He will kiss your hand and help you with the dress
"Wow, how beautiful you look!"
He keeps looking at the priest but every time he takes a look at you and smiles shyly
He'll get shy when it comes to vows and say that you mean a lot in his life
He'll cry at that part and you'll dry his tears, he'll thank you
He will listen to your vows and stare at you with his little eyes shining
Almost misses the hand of putting on the ring, he will smile and take the right hand
At the time of the kiss he will be embarrassed, he will give a shy kiss on the tip of your nose and then on your lips
He will hold out his hand to you so that you can fit your fingers when you leave the church.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
San
Não admite que está nervoso
Sorri e cumprimenta todo mundo sorrindo
Fica puxando assunto com o padre
Diz pro Wooyoung para de fazer bagunça com os padrinhos
Fica rindo de nervoso porque você tá demorando (tá quase indo te busca em casa)
Vai ouvi a marcha nupcial e vai coloca a mão no coração como se pudesse segura ele
Vai se emociona quando ver você entrar
Vai te ajuda a subir, vai tira o véu e beija sua testa com carinho
Você vai dizer pra ele não chora e ele vai fala com a voz grossa "eu não tô chorando!"
Vai fica repetindo o quanto você é linda e o quanto ele te ama de 5 em 5 minutos
"Eu tenho tanta sorte de ter você, te amo!"
Não ouviu uma palavra do padre porque só sabe olha pra você
Vai chora na hora dos votos
Vai fica todo bobo ouvindo você ler seus votos
"wow, ela não é perfeita!" vai fala depois que você termina, e dá um sorriso
Vai fica nervoso na hora de bota a aliança
Vai fica segurando firme sua mão pra ter certeza que você não vai embora sem ele
Vai segura seu rosto na hora do beijo, te beija apaixonado e depois beija sua testa de novo
Vai quere sair com você no colo
_____________________________♡_____________________________
He won't admit he's nervous
Smiles and greets everyone smiling
Keeps bringing up random subject with the priest
Tell Wooyoung to stop messing with the groomsmen
Laughs nervously because you're taking too long (he's about to pick you up at home)
He will hear the wedding march and will put his hand on his heart as if he could hold it
He will get emotional when he sees you enter the church
He will help you walk down the aisle, take off your veil and kiss your forehead with affection
You're going to tell him not to cry and he's going to say in a thick voice "I'm not crying!"
He will keep repeating how beautiful you are and how much he loves you every 5 minutes
"I'm so lucky to have you, I love you!"
He didn't hear a word from the priest because he only knows how to look at you
He will cry at the time of the vows
He'll get all silly listening to you read your vows
"Wow, she's not perfect!" he'll say after you're done, and gives you a smile
He'll get nervous when it's time to put on the ring
He'll keep holding your hand tight to make sure you don't leave without him
He will hold your face at the time of the kiss, kiss you passionately and then kiss your forehead again
He'll want to go out with you on his lap.

Have you ever seen the Pokemon Rap Cyphers by Cam Steady? They're really good and they are also responsible for inspiring this little bit of fan content: a fan made rap for Generic!
🎵
Name's Generic, ironically unique
Soul of steel even if I look meek.
Regional champ got three and going for four
Advocate of peace, I'm not looking for war.
Celebi is my ma or is it my pa?
Either way the other one's Dialga.
Either way
I was lietterally made to save the day
Show these villains a better way
With my words and actions I sway
The balance of the world to be a better place.
And that just bring a smile to my face.
Lysander may have broken my heart
In his quest to tear this world apart.
But I always finish whatever I start.
I'm sorry that he blew chance two
But that doesn't mean I won't give one to you.
🎵
Hope you enjoyed that, because as inspired as I was I also wrote one for Spare.
🎶
Spare here starting a sort of revolution
When it comes to evil I ofer a new solution.
Find them and break every bone
Burn down their home
Pin their leader to their own throne.
Toss another body on the sacrificial pyre
Too bad for you I answer to a power higher.
Your chance of winning is like my age, zero.
All you've done will come to naught
You'll never find whatever you sought.
Mercy ain't my way
Evil must pay
So declairs Arceus' Hero.
🎶
I actually hadn’t heard of him so I listened to the villain one!!
but more importantly YOOOOOOOOOO NICE I especially like that last bit of gene’s and how you’ve pointed out how he’s been surprisingly into second chances despite everything going on with lysandre!! the whole thing is super sweet too!!! thank you for writing it!!! 🥺🥺🥺
BUT ALSO SPARE’S IS SO INTIMIDATING.....  POWERFUL 👁️👁️😱😱😱
my favorite line of spare’s is honestly the one about her age being zero!! very witty there tbh 🤔🤔🤔

(IM SO SORRY THIS WAS LONG,, I JUST BE HAVING A LITTLE FUN SOMETIMES WITH RIIZE 😭😭🧡)
MY BAD DASH I DID NOT KNOW I WROTE SO MUCH LEMME ADD A READ MORE 😭😭😭
they definitely hit the instagram algorithm jackpot because tell me why I had friends who weren’t into kpop asking me who wonbin and seunghan were 😭 but so real! I don’t regret it either hehe I just adore them seriously!! but don’t worry picking a bias is so hard like I don’t see how you can atp 😭 they’re all amazing and deserve the world (sm needs to burn and I’ll do if I have to!) SEUNGHAN IS SO GORGEOUS HE FR FR CAUGHT MY EYE TOO LIKE SIR YOU ARE ACTUALLY VERY GORGEOUS AND BEAUTIFUL AND CAN SING AND DANCE???!!! completely get it and im TOTALLY normal about him……🧍🏻‍♂️I AM SO GLAD YOU SAID THAT BECAUSE EUNSEOK WITH BLACK HAIR IS MY FAVORITE EUNSEOK AND HE NEEDS TO KEEP IT BLACK ALWAYS BECAUSE OMFG I need to bite him. I can’t explain it but I seriously need to. The way I felt every emotion you went through too 😭😭 wonbin has me in a chokehold at the moment because he’s just so my boy yk like and he is a star boy and I am such a star enthusiast and I actually did not know he had a thing for stars for a while so when he caught my eye I was super surprised and then I learned about his star interest and (this may sound insane) but I felt like the moon and stars were fr leading me to him like 😭😭 ik that sounds crazy but I seriously did feel like he was meant to be my bias or like just an idol I enjoy yk? Sungchan and I need to fight because one why are you so tall and two why are you so tall and talented and a literal 10/10 like leave something or anything for the rest of us PLEASE! I COMPLETELY GET THE NOSTALGIA PART WITH SUNGTARO IT KILLS ME ESPECIALLY IDK IF YOU SAW BUT IN THEIR LITTLE BEHIND VLOGS WHEN HE IS LIKE “I used to come here alone and always wished to come with a group, and now I can do that so I’m happy” I actually cried so bad because him and shotaro deserve it like I am so freaking happy to see them here in a fixed group with people who love them and deserve it just as much 🥹 atm ig as an update I am just going to consider myself OT7 because I can’t pick a bias to save my life 😭 wonbin and anton have a chokehold on me but I’d fold for eunseok and sungtaro will always be my babies no matter what and sohee + seunghan get me everytime so I just can’t pick atm 😞 but maybe in the future one will slip through the cracks and be my bias 😭 but seriously ITS HARD TO PICK ONE 😭 I need to burn sm down though especially with the way they’ve been treating seunghan lately like that recent riize and realize episode? oh that pissed me off BAD! sm needs to burn ! ALSO DONT APOLOGIZE I LOVE TALKING ABOUT RIIZE ESPECIALLY BECAUSE I DONT KNOW MANY PEOPLE WHO STAN THEM HERE ON TUMBLES SO I LOVE HAVING SOMEONE TO TALK TO ABOUT THEM 🥺🤍

Pendulum Academy Celebrates Women's Month with Rah Digga & Bahamadia as Guest Lecturers
Tumblr media
Rah Digga and Bahamadia will share their wisdom as guest lecturers at the Pendulum Academy's Second Annual Women's Month. The school is celebrating women in hip-hop during the month of August with special events, courses and workshops. The former Flipmode Squad member will be the guest speaker for the academy's Rhymecology course which explores mental health through the usage of rhyme. Bahamadia is teaching the Evolution Of Rhyme course that examines the history of word flow. Wendy Day, SJ Henderson, Baegod, Jaz The Rapper, Casey J, Official and celebrity publicist Chanel Rae are also on board to teach classes in August. They will instruct students on media training, battling rapping, creative writing and networking. Shawnna, who was the First Lady of Ludacris's Disturbing Tha Peace label, is the guest teacher for the Advanced Rhythm & Style class. The Criminology In Hip-Hop class will be co-lead by attorney Devon Douglass and it will look at Remy Ma's 2007 case. Students will receive feedback on their work from an all-woman panel of judges. Rah Digga expressed her enthusiasm in a statement:
"Being in this business for 25+ years professionally and actually growing up in the culture, I am looking forward to passing on some of the knowledge that I have learned in hopes that aspiring artists from the next generation can learn something useful that will hopefully be as life-changing for them as this journey has been for me." 
All women can enroll in the Academy for half of the normal price in August. New students are currently being accepted and those interested can apply pendulumink.com or email the school at [email protected]. Songwriter Mickey Factz and battle rapper Chilla Jones founded the Pendulum Ink Academy. The school aims to prepare rappers for the music industry by providing guidance from industry experts and professional rappers. The academy had its first graduating class on February 26, 2023, and Bun B was the commencement speaker. Anyone can purchase the school's textbook, A Lexicon Of Elite Rap Techniques online. Big Daddy Kane wrote the foreword of the book that has songwriting strategies used by some of rap's greatest storytellers. HipHopEd founder Dr. Christopher Emdin wrote the afterword.

Lots of people talking about how Kanye is playing 4D chess right now, that he's "freeing his soul" and all of this is planned. Now, I'm not going to say that it isn't. I've never known someone so focused on their craft to be this sloppy. Mans said he wanted to change rap, he did that. Mans said he wanted to change fashion, he did. Mans said he wanted to get out of his contracts, he did. How he did that last one is what everyone is baling on this cat over. If we give the dude the pass on the antisemitic sh*t, just for argument, what's left is a whole ass hypocrite. This man is out here spitting in the faces of the people who got him where he is, black folks, and his die-hards are eating this sh*t up. Why? Bro, i love Kanye. I do. Those first five albums are classics. Through the Wire and Mr. Brightside got me back into music after MTV burned me out. Dude put Cudi, my personal favorite rapper, on. 808s and Heartbreaks, for better or worse, has informed and ENTIRE generation of rappers. One could argue that album is just Ye doing his best impression of Cudi but i digress. Mans has wrote hit after hit. Those Red Octobers are some of the dopest shoes ever made! And then this goofy motherf*cker decides to never take his meds again, throw on a MAGA hat, and hang out with Candace Owens while wearing a White Lives Matter shirt? Word? What the f*ck would his mom say about this? What the f*ck would his grandpa say about this? You just gonna spit in the face of THEIR struggle? You just going to disrespect the fight they put up? You are the direct descendant, literally a single generation removed, from the civil rights struggle. Your ma was arrested for a sit in. She pushed education as the key to success. Ye can't possibly be a stupid man. There has to be some semblance of calculation on his part, sure, but this behavior is trivializing literally the entire struggle your mom went through. Why? Because you want to get out of some contracts that made you an actual billionaire? Now we can circle back around to the antisemitic sh*t. What the f*ck? Death Con three? Really? Goading Adidas with the whole un-droppable thing? Bro, do you know Adidas was founded by a whole ass Nazi? AA ton of those businesses were. You can't get on a podcast, say out loud hoe you can be as anti-jew as you want and the company with actual skin in the Nazi won't drop you, and then shocked Pikachu when they drop you. Again, there may be some truth in all of this being performative nonsense in order to get out of the contracts he had already signed but nah. Kaye is having a bad time right now. He is, very publicly, having and emotional and mental breakdown. Dude refuses to take his meds and the people he ha around him, whoever is left, are not helping this man even his sh*t out. Kanye is not a genius. He is not playing the system against itself. He's sick and easily manipulated because dude is not in his right mind. Candace Owens has sold this man the worthless Fed honey trap, Parler, immediately after pulling that stunt at Paris Fashion Week. Mans is drawing comparisons to Herschel Walker. Instead of being uplifted as the richest black man in the US. Actual antisemites are out here co-opting everything he's saying. It's frustrating to see because entangled in all of what hateful rhetoric he's spewing, there are gems of legitimate wisdom. The Jews were black. You should own your own sh*t. The industry is full of snakes. People who don't look like us, own all the sh*t made by us. These are truths never spoken out loud, truths that should be heard because they're not being taught, but who the f*ck is going to listen to anything a crazy n*gga say after getting on Twatter and proclaiming he going "death con three" on the Jews?

When the ‘other side’ notices
Madara x Akatsuki AU series
Mito: There is something wrong with the Akatsuki these days
Tobirama: It’s an international ninja terrorist organization, everything is wrong with them.
Mito: Yeah, but now I mean specifically - were you on YouTube these days?
Tobirama: I’m not the type who watches videos all days
Mito: Anyways, the Akatsuki lately is really into hacking stuff, because they changed the clips of all those top hit songs, to the face of your brother.
Tobirama: which songs do you mean?
Mito: Basically any song which has the topic of betrayal, cheating, or a sad emo rap with a lot of crying and heartbreak in it, .. now has Hashi for a clip
Tobirama: What the hell? That just really doesn’t make sense.. they could do a thousand different things to undermine the Hokage’s reputation, but this just..
Hashirama, nervously : I have no clue about that either..
Mito: Meanwhile they just modified an other one.. wow this is dark.
Tobirama: Why?
Mito: Just listen:
🎶 you should really run away
Go on - apologize 🎶
And the pictures of Hashirama are .. quite bloody
X
X
Nagato: This one is a masterpiece
Madara: I really don’t know. I still have mixed feelings about these.
Obito: Look who just wrote a comment, damnit. It’s under the Oxytocin.
Madara: What?
Obito: It’s Hashirama, from his official account. He is admitting everything and is literally begging for mercy
Madara: Damn… I have never thought that would ever happen. What should we reply?
Nagato: Nothing. I already handled it.
Madara: Oh my. Do we wanna know?
Nagato, proudly: I answered ‘kiss ma ass’

NCT U react to s/o cooking.
note* NCT U Members Lineup for their Title Track "Make A Wish"
Genre~ fluff ☁
Paring~ NCT U x reader
A/N~ I wrote this from what I know about them and that's it so have fun!
request's are open! you can write it on "have a promise? ask away!"
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
시작..
Taeyong
Just loves the idea of you cooking for him. The outcome doesn’t matter cause he is just so happy that you’re working so hard just to cook for him.
While you’re cooking he constantly checks on you, hugs you from behind and whispers sweet nothings in your ear.
When the food it ready and you’re done plating you call him and he rushes to the table. Gives you a quick peck and digs in. The moment the food is inside his mouth he can’t even tell you in words how good it was to him. “ wahhh… mmmmm” he let’s out stuffing more food in his mouth.
“ babe you’re perfect!!” He says as he finishes and hugs you. “Sorry I should have left you some to try but I was so into it, I’ll order you food soon…”
You give him a smile “ glad to hear that you liked my cooking..”
Doyoung
He likes it very much that you’re cooking but isn’t so sure if he is going to like it or not.
While you’re cooking he won’t check on you that often cause he would be too busy praying 🙏🏻 for good food. Of course he loves you dearly and knows you very well but he doesn’t want to make you sad therefore he prays for good acting skills as well.
Once you’re done you call him to the table and he looks at the plate which didn’t have the best visuals for sure and so he took a small bite chewing it thoroughly and once he was done. “Actually far better than I expected honey.. I like it!”
“ what do you mean than you expected?” You say as you teasingly rolled your eyes. And that whole session turned into you chasing him and having tickle fights. “Hey the food!!”
Jaehyun
The fact that you were cooking meat was enough to make him all happy and excited.
This guy lives for meat loves it too much. The one to be constantly checking on you too. He joyfully skips to the kitchen and gives you a peck on the cheek and leaves with a “hwaitting!!”
Your done with your meal and he comes to join you. The sight of it making his mouth water already, “wahhhhhhhhhh what are you?” He says sarcastically. “Your savior from heaven…” you reply giggling..
He quickly grabs a seat and says a quick prayer, “ thank you for this wonderful priority right beside me who made this delicious food for me and help her make more!” And he digs in. “Wow so good baby it’s so good!!” He says with wide eyes. “You sure it’s good? Or you’re just in love with meat..”
Lucas
Oh dear Lucas and his love for food. No really this man probably thinks food is something he loves after his girlfriend and parents.
While you’re cooking he doesn’t have to check on you cause he is with you the whole time. Asks if he can help but you don’t let him even so he repeats the questions until you let him cut the kimchi for the kimchi stew. Tries his best but ends up bending the knife, apologizes afterwards and sits down quietly.
Once you're done preparing the meal all his mouth says is “I love you, I love you my baby, ohhh thank you my babyyy” and you laugh at his Korean accent and think it’s super cute.
He takes a sip of the stew and says “ oh may gadddd you’re amazing baby!!!!” And gets up opens the kitchen window and shouts so the whole neighborhood can hear “my girlfriend can cook the BeSt kimchi stew!!!!!!!!!” In his poor accent. “Babe that’s enough stop…” you say cringing to his statement covering your face.
Xiao Jun
Is not into you cooking for some reason but will let you anyway. Just because you begged 🥺
While you’re cooking he won’t be there with you cause he went out to find his Lao Gan Ma sauce. He can’t eat without that sauce so he went early morning to find it. Your phone rings “ hey baby, uhh I can’t find it at the store so I’m going to see Kun maybe he has it. I’ll be a little late” he says and hangs up.
finally brings the sauce from Kun and sets it on the table. "babe your late and I cooked lunch but it's already dinner time" you say patiently. "sorry hehe, I'll still eat it though" he says with a made up smile.
Takes a bite with his sauce "hey, I don't think the sauce matches with this dish baby" he says chewing slowly. "well yeah that's what I've been trying to tell you this is an Italian pasta!"
Jaemin
you knew your boyfriend loved honey Tteokbokki so you decided to surprise him with it after he came from practice..
The ingredient list had a lot of ingredients so you decided to get the ones you did not have at the moment. Once you got all your needed ingredients you came home and started to cook. As much as you were having trouble with it you still wanted to make your tired boy happy.
There was the sound of the door passcode and he entered the room. “Mmmm baby what did you cook?” He says smiling and coming to hug you. You gave him a peck and he kissed back once it broke he looked at you with so much love “ you made something for me?” He says smile showing his pretty teeth. “Yup! Guess what it is?” You say curious for his answer. “Umm ramen? Tteokbokki?”
“ close but not precise hehe” you say opening the lid of the pan he said with wide eyes 👀 “ this is honey tteokbokki right?” He says. “ yup, I tried very hard but I don’t know if it’s good or not hehe sorry” you say scratching the back of you head. He takes a pair of chopsticks and eats one rice cake from the teokbokki. “ wow this is not bad but little bit sweeter than usual but it’s like you so I’ll eat it” he says hugging you tightly. “I love you nana” you say as he presses another sweet peck.
Shotaro
Since he loves sweets you asked him if you could bake something for him. He wanted you to bake brownies and so you did…
He isn’t the best at cooking and he doesn’t know a lot of baking too so he couldn’t help but encouraged you through the process of making it. Maybe plays you some songs or even raps for you if you ask for it. Loves seeing you bake or cook so he spends his time staring at you.
When you ask him to help you get the brownies out of the oven he freaks out but won’t show it and do as you say. “Be careful!” You say as he slowly takes it out. “See? It wasn’t a big deal actually…” he says as you role your eyes at him. After you let it cool you cut the brownies in cubes and put it in a container and sent it to him since he went for practice just before you kept in to freeze.
Your phone rings “ babyyyy!!!! Why did you send it here I don’t get to have them in peace now the others are devouring it all!!” He says in a desperate manner. “ chill out I’ve got extra in the house, come home soon!” You say and hang up.

Mission: New Asgard
Character: Loki x reader (completely gender neutral. There are zero indications of the readers gender, no pronouns at all. Note that this is written from the perspective of a woman, though, so if something is too biased, please let me know!)
Summary: You are assigned to help integrate the Asgardians to Midgardian society, but your mission ends a whole lot different than you expect.
Warnings: None!
Word Count: 5,493
A/N: My second fic! The title is supposed to be a play on the Mission: Impossible movies, but I've never actually seen one, so sorry if it's wrong lol. Now that I officially have more than one fic, I'm gonna make a masterlist, so that will be coming soon. I hope you like the story!
You rapped your knuckles on the office door that had been left slightly ajar. “Director Mackenzie? You asked to see me?”
“Come on in, Y/N. Elena was just leaving.”
You opened the door and nodded at Agent Rodriguez as she made her way out. She gave you a curt nod in return.
Alphonso Mackenzie, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D., leaned back into the chair behind his desk and gestured for you to have a seat. “And for the last time, Y/N, you are one of my most trusted operatives. Call me Mack, please.”
You sat down. “Sorry, Mack.”
He opened a desk drawer and pulled out a file folder stuffed to the brim with documents, which he dropped onto the desk between you, the loud thwap resounding in the small office.
“I have a mission for you, Agent. A few days ago, the planet Asgard was completely destroyed.”
“Asgard?” you interjected. “Like where Thor is from?”
He nodded. “You’ll find all of that and more in these files. Thor and his brother Loki have set up a colony in a small town in Norway. We need you to supervise the integration of the Asgardian people onto Earth. This is the first known mass migration of aliens that our planet has ever seen, and we need to be keeping a close eye on this, or it could go sideways real fast.”
You pulled the files closer and began to flip through a few pages. “I thought Loki was a bad guy. What was it? 80 people in 2 days? Plus the invasion of New York. Why are we letting him back here?”
Mack sighed and rubbed his temple. “I can’t personally vouch for the man, but Thor claims he was being mind controlled. According to Thor, Loki eventually broke free of the control and killed the guy who was behind the whole thing. Some alien named Thanos? Tony Stark himself seems okay with this New Asgard business, and you know how paranoid he gets. So for now, we observe, not attack.”
“Gotcha,” you said. “When do I leave?”
“As soon as you can get your stuff together and get out of here. Say the word and we'll start prepping a Quinjet.”
“Aye, aye, captain,” you said, standing up and grabbing the files. “I’ll let you know as soon as I get an idea of my timeline.”
“Thank you Agent L/N, and good luck.”
------
You gripped the steering wheel tightly, barely making a rather sharp turn. When you finished this assignment, you were going to have to have a talk with whoever designed these roads. Despite the unsafe driving conditions, though, you sighed in contentment. You were back in the field, this is where you belonged.
You pulled a van loaded to the brim with various tech items mixed in with your personal possessions down a bumpy road, coming to a stop before a small, rustic-looking, seaside town, where two men and a woman stood for you. The sun was beginning to dip below the horizon. You turned the key and shut off the van, trying to get a read on each of the people standing before you.
The buff blond man was clearly Thor. You recognized him from the news and the files you had read. Next to him was a tall woman with dark hair who had wan air of confidence about her. You had never seen her, nor did S.H.I.E.L.D. have any data on her. The third man was lanky, but clearly still fit, with dark hair that fell just past his shoulders. He was clad in green and had a demeanor that made you shiver. This was Loki, scourge of New York and would-be king of Midgard. But Thor and Tony Stark had vouched for him, and that would have to be enough for Y/N L/N, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
You exited the van and heard Thor call to you. “Welcome, newcomer! Our scouts observed your vehicle approaching our home!”
You walked briskly towards the group. Game time. Put on the 'no time for your shit' face and get to business. Coming to a stop in front of them, you began to speak. “My name is Y/N L/N and I am here on behalf of S.H.I.E.L.D., the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division of the American government. We have been granted permission from the government of Norway to oversee this colony's development. This is an unprecedented situation on Earth, and as such, we have written new protocols. I am the agent assigned to this case, and I will be supervising the construction of New Asgard and its integration into Midgardian society.”
Thor furrowed his brow. “I was under the impression that S.H.I.E.L.D. was controlled by Hydra.”
You nodded. “Unfortunately, yes. The previous incarnation of S.H.I.E.L.D. was corrupt, but we are a hardy breed, so to speak. A much smaller branch has survived, and deals with various situations across the world, aliens being one of them.”
Thor nodded. “Then we welcome your presence here with open arms.”
Loki scoffed. “You are too trusting, brother. This so-called agent could be anyone. What cause do we have to believe this story?”
You turned to him. “Loki, God of Mischief, Chaos, and Lies, correct? You of all people should know, am I lying?”
He stared at you, long and hard, before shaking his head. “No, I suppose you aren’t,” he admitted.
“There’s that then,” you said. “Now, I will need to ask the three of you some questions regarding yourselves, if you don’t mind.”
-----
The strange woman was first. You had been given a small shack to conduct your interviews out of, the woman stared at you from across the table, looking for all the world like she had somewhere better to be.
“Name?”
“Brunnhilde.”
“No family name?”
“I am a Valkyrie. I have no blood other than my sisters.”
“Right,” you said, “You lived on Asgard then?”
Her face took on a sour look. “A long time ago. I’ve spent the last few centuries on a different planet, Sakaar.”
You scribbled the information into your notepad. “What do you do then? If you were gone so long, why are you back with the Asgardians?”
Her chest puffed with pride. “I am to be the new King of Asgard. On the Summer Solstice we will hold a coronation. It will give the people enough time to accept the transfer of power from Odin’s bloodline to me, and for me to learn how to lead.”
You nodded and took note of it. “Congratulations,Your Majesty-to-be. I believe that’s all I need for now, but I expect we will see a lot of each other over the months.”
-----
Thor. The large man sat across from you, seemingly happy to be there.
“Thor Odinson, correct?” you asked him.
“Yes.”
“And I hear you're passing on the title of King to Brunnhilde?”
A dark look came over his face. “I have learned recently that my family has done many wrongs by Asgard. As long as I breathe, I will fight for Asgard and her people, but I do not believe it is my place to rule. Brunnhilde loves the people and has a talent for leadership. She will be a much better King than I.”
“A very noble decision, Thor. Thank you very much, and please send your brother in on your way out.”
-----
“Name?”
“I believe you know who I am.”
You sighed. “It's a formality, Mr. Laufeyson.”
“Friggason.”
“What?”
“I prefer Loki Friggason.”
You nodded, and made the necessary changes to his file. “Noted. Anything else I should know about?”
“Just a warning,” he said, leaning forward, his voice dangerously low. “I am the God of Lies. The truth is a luxury I will afford no one, especially your little government. The God of Chaos is an enemy you do not want to have.”
You raised an eyebrow, and wrote a single word in your file, exaggerating each syllable as you wrote it out. “Dra. Ma. Tic.”
Truth be told, you were a little scared, given this guy’s reputation, but you would be damned before you let your exterior crack.
Loki scowled. He seemed to do that a lot. “You mortals think you are so funny, do you not?”
You shrugged. “I’m delightful.” You slipped your papers into your file folder and stood up. “See you around, Friggason.”
You left, leaving Loki slightly aghast that you had managed to get the last word in.
-----
You walked calmly out of the hut, then quickened your pace as you made your way back to your van. Loki, as much as it pained you to say, had been intimidating, and your heart was beating a mile a minute.
You opened the door and climbed inside, shoving your paperwork into a filing cabinet, which you promptly locked. You turned to your computers, fiddling with the buttons, atttempting to establish your connection back to S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters.
"It's quite rude to walk out on a prince, you know."
You jumped and whipped around to see Loki standing outside your van.
"What the hell!"
"I said-"
"I know what you said, Your Highness," you interrupted. "But you scared the shit out of me. “
"Many apologies," he said as he hoisted himself up to sit on the edge of the van, his insincerity clear. "And I grant you permission to refer to me as Loki."
"How generous," you muttered, before going back to your instruction manual. Technology had never been your forte. You chose being a field agent over a scientist for a reason.
The both of you sat in silence for a while, you working slowly through the instructions that Fitz, a S.H.I.E.L.D agent much more qualified in machinery than you, had given you.
You glanced up at Loki, half expecting to see him sleeping against the van's frame, only to find his gaze resting on you.
"Can I help you?" you asked.
He just laughed a bit, like staring at you had been the most normal thing in the world. "I am watching you, Midgardian, lest you sabotage the society my brother is trying to build."
"I never took you for the loyal type," you said, putting away your things. "I'm gonna have to ask you to get outta here though."
“Why?”
You gestured to the twilight outside. “It’s late. I’ve had a long day. I’m going to bed.”
Loki strained his head slightly, attempting to peek into the van. “Where do you plan on sleeping?”
Not breaking eye contact, you grabbed a cord on the wall and yanked, and the rusty old pull-down bed flopped out with a loud groan. The rickety old thing was probably going to give you back problems by the time you were done here, but such was life. S.H.I.E.L.D.’s money was usually spent on more pressing things than upgrading amenities for field agents.
Loki’s nose wrinkled in disgust. “You are not sleeping in that. We’ve built a larger house for Thor, Brunnhilde, and I. You’ll stay in one of the guest rooms there.”
You shrugged. “It’s not too bad out here.”
“Mortals,” he said under his breath, almost indecipherably, before speaking again, at a normal volume this time. “I insist. Whether I like it or not, you are a guest of Asgard, and you will be treated as such. Besides, that bed looks seconds away from collapsing.”
You nodded, trying not to betray your confusion at the combination of his kindness and rudeness. “Thank you, just give me a second to lock up.” You grabbed the pieces you had been fiddling with, then paused, your hand hovering over the satellite dish. “Actually, if you’re just gonna sit there, you may as well make yourself useful. You can teleport right?”
Suspicion crossed his face. “Yes?”
You held out the device. “Hop up to the top of the van, there should be a little cord. It’ll fit into this port here,” you said gesturing. “Plug it in for me, please?”
He raised an eyebrow. “You ask a god to do your bidding?”
You scoffed. “You’re not a god, you're an alien. And I just asked for a favor. You’re free to say no, but I’m exhausted, and as much as I would like to put off climbing on the roof off until tomorrow, I need to send a check in to headquarters ASAP.”
He begrudgingly reached out and took the dish and you watched as his form rippled green and faded away. You heard shuffling on the roof for a moment, then silence, before the Asgardian reappeared in front of you.
“If that’s all, Midgardian?” he said.
“Thank you, Highness,” you said, ignoring his tone. “And thank you for offering the room.” The monitor beeped a confirmation that your signal had connected and you punched in a code to let S.H.I.E.L.D. know you had made it to New Asgard. You grabbed the bag you had packed and hopped out of the van, waiting for Loki to follow suit before closing the doors and locking the vehicle.
You offered him your arm. “Shall we?”
He brushed past you, rolling his eyes at your mock-politeness.
“Alright then,” you muttered, “This is gonna be fun, isn’t it?” Taking one last look at the van behind you, you moved to catch up with the Asgardian walking briskly away from you.
-----
Loki had not been talkative on the way to the house, and after being curtly shown to your room, he quickly left. You had settled into a decently sized room complete with a desk and a small bathroom attached. Undoubtedly, the house was a far cry from an Asgardian palace, but it was much larger than needed for three, even four, people. Surprisingly, you got a sound night’s sleep.
You woke to rambunctious laughter, and, wiping bleariness from your eyes, got out of bed. You stood in front of a small mirror on the wall and attempted to make yourself look slightly less like you had just woken up. Moving to your bag, you put on clothes that were much more professional than the old sweatshirt you were currently wearing.
Finally satisfied, you stepped out of your room and followed the sounds of conversation into the kitchen, where you found Brunnhilde and Thor joking at the counter while Loki sat at a dining room table, reading a book.
Seeing you, Thor broke into a smile. “Y/N! Loki had told us you would be staying here!”
You returned the smile. “Thank you for letting me stay here, Thor. I really appreciate this.”
The large man set a plate heaping with food on the table and gestured for you to sit. You did, glancing at Loki as you took the seat across from him, but he made no move to acknowledge that you were there. Brunnhidle began to speak. “We will be building fishing boats today down at the docks today. Will you be joining us, Y/N? We could use an extra set of hands.”
You nodded. “I don’t mind helping out. I have a few things to take care of first, though, so I’ll meet you all down there.”
Thor clapped. “Excellent! We’ll make an Asgardian out of you yet!”
You laughed softly and finished your meal as Thor and Brunnhilde began to tell you the plans for the day.
------
After breakfast, you ran up to your room to grab your laptop and then met the rest of the group on the stairs of the house. “I’ll see you guys in a little while,” you said, waving while walking in the opposite direction.
Thor and Brunnhidle branched off from you, but Loki, still silent, walked beside you towards your van.
You looked at him quizzically, but he seemed to have no intention of indicating why he was with you, and not with Thor and Brunnhilde.
Finally, as you approached your van, you caved and asked. “Why are you with me instead of your brother?”
“I’ve consulted with Thor. I will be supervising you for the remainder of your stay here.”
You stared at him in disbelief. “I’m supposed to be supervising you guys!”
“You are a stranger,” he replied, “and there’s something about you that I don’t trust. I have harmed Asgard many times over, and I don’t intend to let you get away with hurting these people any more.” There was an edge to his voice, that you had to admit, scared you.
After a long moment, you sighed. “Fine. I could use an assistant, I guess.” Which was apparently the right thing to say, because it made him clearly flustered.
“I am no one’s assistant, I am a prince of Asgard,” he argued as you turned away from him, partially to unlock your van and partially to hide your laughter.
You hopped up into the vehicle and grabbed a folder and tossed it to Loki, who was still sputtering about his status behind you. “Scan those in, would you?” you said gesturing at a machine in the back corner of the van.
He huffed but snatched the folder from your hand and went to fiddle with the machine.
You glanced over. “Do you know how to use that?”
“Yes,” he snapped. “This is primitive technology compared to what I have seen in my travels.”
You shrugged. “Okay.” You turned to your computer and queued up a call to S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ. “I’m gonna need you to be quiet for a second,” you said, right before Mack’s face popped onto the screen.
“Y/N! How’s Norway treating you?” he said with a smile.
“Colder than I thought, but not too bad. They’ve given me an actual bed to sleep in. You really need to update the beds in these vans,” you joked.
“I’ll let the budget committee know,” he replied. “I trust Thor and Loki are being cooperative, then?”
“More or less,” you said before stepping to the side, putting Loki in full view of your webcam.
Mack’s eyes widened. The change was subtle, but you could tell he was surprised. “That’s Loki.”
“Yup.”
“In your van.”
“Yup.”
“Why?”
“His Highness has deemed me untrustworthy, and decided I need a chaperone.”
“Right,” said Mack, suspicion in his voice. “Well you know the drill. Weekly check-ins, and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any problems,” he said, looking at Loki.
“Gotcha, Mack. Talk to you next week,” you said, turning off the call. You turned to Loki, who had yet to even turn the scanner on. “You don’t know how to work that, do you?”
He glared at you and did not reply.
“Come here, Your Highness, I’ll show you. It really isn’t that hard.”
“You know the honorific loses its value when you say it so sarcastically,” he said, while watching your motions intensely, memorizing the steps to work the machine.
“Sorry, Highness.”
-----
The two of you walked down to the beach shortly after, meeting Brunnhilde and Thor at the docks. You were allotted supplies and miraculously, you and Loki ended up caulking the same boat.
Great.
The silence was deafening at first, until you decided to break it.
“You know I never would have assumed that someone of such status would be out here doing the dirty work,” you said, sarcasm dripping from your voice.
He grimaced. “I owe Asgard a debt. I intend to repay it, however I can offer service.”
“A very noble stance from Loki, God of Mischief.”
He grinned and looked up, meeting your eyes. “I find that one can be noble while still being quite mischievous.”
You felt your face heat up, and ducked your head, looking down at your work. He had smiled at you, for the first time, and what he had said had sounded almost like flirting. Why had that made your stomach turn in such a strange way?
“Oh my,” he laughed. “Seems that the Midgardian is finally speechless.”
“Just trying to hold my tongue around my betters, Highness,” you said, rolling your eyes. “Now let’s get to work before Brunnhilde has our heads.”
-----
Finally, late that afternoon, the work was done, and the New Asgard armada of fishing boats was ready for a celebratory launch. You and Loki stood in the crowd, watching Brunnhilde give a speech in front of the flagship, which really wasn’t much larger than the rest of the fleet. Loki leaned over and whispered to you, “You know, back in the day, the Norse would give a human sacrifice to the sea god to ensure safe passage.”
You wrinkled your nose, put off by the suggestion. “I think I prefer the more English tradition,” you replied, watching as Brunnhilde smashed a bottle of champagne against the hull of the ship.
Loki sighed. “Such a waste of perfectly good champagne.”
“I’m sure there's plenty more alcohol around here somewhere,” you said as you walked over to your boat, preparing for her maiden voyage. You hopped in and offered Loki your hand to help him in. He hesitated, but he took it.
“What should we name her?” you asked.
“What?”
“You know,” you shrugged, “We have to give our ship a name.”
Loki seemed to ponder it a moment before deciding. “How about The Midgardian?”
You put your hand on your chest in mock flattery. “Aww, you named her after me, didn’t you?”
He laughed. “It’s a fitting name. She’s lackluster and hardly even worthy of being called a boat.” His words were biting, and maybe you were imagining things, but you could have sworn you heard the playfulness in his voice.
You laughed and tossed him an oar. “For you, Highness.”
“Many thanks, Midgardian.”
The two of you followed the rest of New Asgard, rowing out to sea. Suddenly, you noticed a small sprig of water in the bottom of the boat. “Loki,” you said, the fear dawning on you, “I think the boat is leaking.”
He turned to see the small leak coming through the floorboards. “Okay,” he said, suddenly serious, “Don’t panic. Let’s turn around.”
You switched the side you were paddling on, beginning to move the boat in a circle. Before you could completely orient yourselves, the floorboards cracked, and a large chunk of wood detached from the boat. You yelped as the water came flooding in.
Loki swore. “Can you swim?” he asked you, speaking quickly.
You nodded. All S.H.I.E.L.D. agents knew how to swim.
“Then jump!” he said, and you did, without a second thought. Your boat was sinking fast, and there was no way you were going to make it back to shore dry.
You hit the water, and a second later, heard Loki behind you.
“Swim towards Thor’s boat, he can get us-”
You missed the rest of his sentence as you were pulled away from him.
You fought the current that had taken hold of you, but your panic was making things worse. In the confusion, you lost control, and dipped under water. The ocean filled your mouth. Breaking the surface again, you choked out most of the water, trying to stay calm and find a way out, but every second you were being pulled further out to sea. Falling under once again, you were prepared to accept your fate when a strong pair of arms wrapped themselves around you and pulled you into calmer waters.
You gasped for air as Loki held you against himself, allowing you time to recover.
“Wha- How did-” you began, once you could speak.
“Don’t talk, just breathe,” he said. “I am a god, I can overpower currents much easier than your mortal bodies can.”
“Thank you, Loki,” you said.
“You are welcome, Y/N.”
A larger boat pulled up next to you, Thor leaning over the side. “Brother, Agent Y/N! Take my hand!”
Loki helped you onto the deck of the boat before climbing over the side himself.
You flopped onto the deck, panting. “Rest in peace, SS Midgardian.”
-----
Later that night, you and Loki sat together watching the fire crackle. Thor had brought you a hot drink, and after plenty of fussing ensuring that you were okay, had left to do something leader-ish with Brunnhilde.
Suddenly, a loud scuffling at the door broke the silence and a series of thudding footsteps made their way toward you. Upon seeing your company, Loki sighed, exasperated. You turned and saw a large figure that appeared to be made out of rock alongside a smaller, insect-looking creature.
The large one began to speak, his gentle tone in contrast with his threatening form. “Hello. Um, I’m Korg and this is my friend Meik. We came to apologize for the whole boat thing. Thor put us in charge of wood collection, so it’s our bad, really. Sorry.”
“Oh, um, that’s alright,” you said, still processing the fact that there were two very large, very strange-looking, aliens in the living room. “You couldn’t have known the wood was rotting, and no one’s dead, so we’re good.”
“Alright, cool,” said Korg. “No harm, no foul, yeah?”
You nodded. “Yeah.”
“Right then,” he said, scooping up Miek. “We’ve gotta get going. Thor put us on clean up duty for the next week.”
“Thank you, Korg!” you called, but he was already out the door.
Loki let out another sigh. “Idiots.”
You turned back to him. “I had no idea there were other aliens here! How many species came with you?”
“Just Korg and Meik. And unfortunately, they are around a lot.”
You settled into your armchair. “I’m gonna have to document this.” But even as you said it, you could feel yourself drifting off.
-----
The next day you woke in your own bed, slightly embarrassed at the implication that Loki had carried you there, but he never brought it up, so neither did you.
The next few weeks were filled with collecting information and helping with the construction of New Asgard to fill the rest of your time. Always, of course, accompanied by Loki. In a strange way, you were becoming friends. The two of you never exchanged a single kind word, but your actions said otherwise. Before long, it seemed less like Loki was breathing down your neck and more like he was genuinely relaxing around you.
“Hey, Mack,” you said, beginning your weekly call-in, Loki now sitting beside you instead of hiding in the background.
“Hey there, Y/N. How’s it going, Loki?”
“Quite well, thank you, Director Mackenzie.”
You stared at him in shock. You had never heard Loki use honorifics for a Midgardian.
The rest of the call was uneventful, and as soon as you hung up, you whirled toward Loki.
“You were polite!” you said, your tone accusatory.
Loki sniffed. “I do have manners, you know.”
“You called him Director Mackenzie.”
“And?”
“And I can count the number of times you’ve used my real name on one hand. It’s always ‘Midgardian’ this ‘Midgardian’ that. You know Mack’s a Midgardian too, right?”
He rolled his eyes. “And you call me ‘Highness’ in that terrible mocking tone of yours. The disrespect is mutual.”
You sighed. “Fine, we’ll call a truce. I’ll call you Loki, you call me Y/N, deal?” You stuck out your hand, waiting for his response.
He seemed to be considering his options, before he settled on his choice. “Deal.” He grasped your hand firmly within his and shook it.
“Glad we’re on the same page, Loki,” you said, leaning back into your chair.
“What now, Y/N?” he asked.
You shrugged. “I dunno. Brunnhilde and Thor don’t have anything going on, and I’m done with what I need to do.” You started clicking around on your computer. “Wanna watch a movie?”
“I’ve heard of movies, but never seen one.”
“You’ve never seen a movie?” you asked. “I guess that makes sense. It’s basically just a recorded play. You’ll love it.” You pulled up a movie. One of the lesser known perks of working for S.H.I.E.L.D.: free Netflix. “This is one of my favorites,” you said as the opening credits rolled.
“I suppose you aren’t giving me a choice then?” he asked.
“Nope,” you replied. “Now be quiet and watch.”
-----
Later that night, you were in the kitchen with Thor, cleaning up after dinner. The two of you worked in comfortable silence until suddenly-
“Are you and my brother involved romantically?”
The plate you were washing fell into the soapy water with a splash.
“What?”
“I have never seen him willingly be around a person as he is you,” Thor explained. “And he has changed. He is happier than he was before Midgard.”
You shook your head. “He doesn’t- I thought he was just ‘supervising’ in case I tried to kill you all.”
“Hardly. The man just has no clue how to adjust to a more… domestic lifestyle. He wants to be around you, he just does not know how to express that.”
“Huh,” was all you managed to say, not looking up from the dishes.
Thor let out a small chuckle. “One day you two will figure it out,” he said so quietly you weren’t even sure he said it.
-----
More time passed, you and Loki still spending your days together. Before you knew it, the Summer Solstice was here, and you spent the morning preparing.
Rushing around your van, alone for once, you scrambled to get your work done quickly before Brunnhidle’s coronation began.
Finishing up you glanced at your monitor when you saw a message pop up.
Alphonso Mackenzie: I forgot to mention it in our call this week, but you’re coming up on the six month mark, and there seems to be no complications with Asgard’s transition, so we’ll be pulling you back to HQ. We’ll sort out the details in next week’s meeting.
You felt a sinking feeling in your chest, which was quickly replaced by determination as you began to type your response.
-----
You hurried to Loki’s side, panting slightly, making it to the coronation just in time for Brunnhidle to make her entrance.
“You’re late,” he whispered.
“Shh,” you said. “They’re starting.”
-----
After every great coronation comes an even greater feast, and the Asgardians spent the rest of the day revealing and celebrating their new leader.
Surprisingly, you had seen very little of Loki. That wouldn’t last long though, because as the sun dipped below the horizon, your closest friend in New Asgard appeared from the crowd and said nothing as he led you to a private space away from the partygoers.
“I’ve hardly seen you all night,” he said, as soon as the two of you had a moment of relative silence.
“I know,” you laughed softly. “It’s been strange to not be around you.”
Your smile fell and you looked up at him. “Look, Loki, I have some news, and I’m not sure how you’re going to feel about it.”
His expression turned serious and he led you to a small bench, where the both of you sat. He stayed silent, waiting for you to speak.
“I got a message from Mack today. They want me back in America.”
Loki’s entire demeanor changed. “What? You can’t go back. There’s still so much I- so much supervising to be done here.”
“That’s where the part I’m unsure of comes in,” you said. “I talked to Mack, and the specifics still need to be discussed, but if we can get agreement from all parties, he wants to create a new position at S.H.I.E.L.D. I’d be the first permanent Asgardian-Midgardian liaison that S.H.I.E.L.D. has ever had.”
His face broke into a grin and he clasped your hands into his. “That’s wonderful! Why would I have any problems with that?”
“You haven’t always been my biggest fan,” you said, nudging his arm gently.
He was silent for a moment, looking for the words. “Maybe not at first,” he began slowly, looking you directly in your eyes, “but now, I’d argue that you are closer to me than anyone else.”
You suddenly became all too aware of his hands resting on yours, and the closeness of his face to yours. “Loki…”
“I hate to admit it, but after a long talk with Thor, I’ve realized that I’ve grown quite fond of you, Y/N.”
“I guess I’ve grown fond of you too, Your Highness,” you said, smiling softly.
“Oh, Midgardian,” he said, unable to keep the laughter out of his voice as his face drew nearer.
You didn’t remember which of you closed the gap, only that it was the most magical kiss you had ever had.
A/N: Thanks for reading! :)

Hi there, this one might be a bit beyond your expertise but I was wondering if you know anything about whether or not Byzantine culture had anything like chivalry in it. that is to say, did the the Byzantine military aristocracy or officer class have some sort of code of honor? they get a bad rap in european chronicles but being sort of stuck between the roman mas maiorum, the persian idea of ayyari and european chivalry its hard to think they didnt have their own cultural code of honor. thanks
We actually have some conflicting resources on that one which paints an interesting vision of the Byzantine Empire.
I should preface this by pointing out that the Byzantine Empire occupies a strange place in European history in that it was, and perceived itself to be, the Roman Empire of the East, and even the term ‘Byzantine’ is used after the fall of the Empire in the 15th century. So we have to acknowledge the Byzantine Empire as it saw itself: not merely a Greeco-Roman medieval Empire, but the Roman Empire (eastern form). They had Roman customs, they used Roman tactics, they employed late Roman doctrine in warfare, they were Roman (as far as they saw it).
Now Roman military doctrine doesn’t exactly have anything equivalent to chivalry or knighthood, since this promotes individual value over that of the unit or legion, and we have Roman examples of times when Equites (who could be analogous to knights, though were not heavily armoured, nor decisive in battle) broke ranks to break the enemy, and were punished for it, such as with Titus Manlius Torquatus during the Latin War in 340 BC, who engaged in the Equites spirit of personal glory (very much akin to later knights) and the spoila militaria (the looted equipment of the enemy), broke ranks to break the enemy after having been expressly told by his father, one of the consuls, not to do just that; and so was ordered put to death by his own father. This said, the Equites do form the foundation for early medieval knights, being cavalrymen, supplying their own equipment, acting as shock cavalry, engaging in an ethos of personal heroism, seeking loot and plunder from defeated foes, seeking out enemy commanders to slay, and even holding political roles.
The above is significant because we can see the evolving changes from the Roman Equites, into the Western Knights, but also the rise of the Eastern Cataphracts, who were based somewhat directly as an evolution of the Roman Equites, but also drawing from the equipment and tactics of the Persians, and could be argued to be directly a result of the Late Roman Army doctrines and reforms.
So, taking the above into account, we do have an idea of what the Byzantine heavily armoured warriors were based off of, and how they would have seen themselves: using contemporary tactics and equipment, part of the greater Byzantine military structure, but a head above the common soldiers, with some emphasis in personal glory and honor, and the right to plunder.
While all this is true, we also have to account for Europe as a greater entity during the period from the 9th century to the 15th (fall of Byzantine), the impact of chivalry upon Western culture, and how this shaped things. Notably, chivalry and knighthood was not unique to any one nation in Europe, and spread across the continent in great popularity. Even in Byzantium, where the concept of a western knight was often going to be lumped in with a cataphract, for example, we know that the Byzantines did understand the concept of knighthood, and engaged with it: in Chivalry by Maurice Keen, page 69 (Chapter 4: The Ceremony of Dubbing to Knighthood), it is mentioned that St Bernard wrote letters to the Greek (Byzantine) Emperor Manuel Comnenus:
[...] explaining that he was sending to him Henry, son of the Count of Champagne, so that he may be girded a knight of Christ by the Emperor himself. 
This related to the idea that the significance of the one that makes a person a knight bestows it’s own form of honour on the knight, and the higher status the individual dubbing you is, the greater the personal honour you receive; a Byzantine Emperor thus was immensely honourable, and in the context here, we see suggestion that, yes, the Byzantines knew very well even in the 12th century, the importance of chivalry and knighthood within a wider context. Whether or not this was lumped into their Roman attitudes or not, the Byzantines could therefore understand the more western codes of honour and chivalry, at least as related to their own cultural attitudes.
Finally, it’s important to note that Chivalry was never a hard-coded written form of conduct, than a moral set of rules that varied from time and place, and within the context of specific culture. The chivalry of, say, 12th century England, would look very different to that of, for example, 14th century Poland, though emphasis on skill at arms was always a common factor. The Byzantine morals and codes of conduct, based on the earlier Roman traditions and methods of warfare, along with the ideas of morality and sin, would thus have been understood in a wider European mindset as being, simply, chivalry as viewed by the Byzantines, and easily enough compared to others forms they ran parallel to.
I hope this is a good read, and helps you in your personal development of understanding the Byzantines, and chivalry in a greater European context. :)

Street Dance of China Season 4, Episode 5
- I love practice montages! I was surprised that we got to see the process of each of the captains (of the competing teams) choosing dancers to their teams. Ibuki and Ma Xiaolong were speaking English to each other, and I don’t doubt that English was probably the main mode of communication across borders for these dancers.
- Okay Ibuki leading Huang Xiao by hand and then Huang Xiao cackling in glee and hugging Ma Xiaolong....very cute.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
- So...is Huang Xiao baby?
Tumblr media
- Huehuehue love Poppin’C’s laugh
Tumblr media
- Ibuki said that Ma Xiaolong helped her a lot with recruitment. I think that’s for two reasons. One is that Ma Xiaolong (and Huang Xiao) are choreographers, so they have a better idea of what styles look together. The other is that Ma Xiaolong knows the Chinese dancers better than she would.
- Moony was saying how Ibuki is the captain but she is the youngest, and is definitely very cute haha.
Tumblr media
- Yang Kai was very worried about dancing to a rap song so he recruited as many choreographers as he could. But the issue was that they all had different approaches to choreographing so they spent a lot of time discussing before choreographing and rehearsing.
- Yang Kai deadass brought his laptop to the hotpot restaurant because he was going to turn dinner into a lesson on Three Kingdoms for Boris and Kenken lol. The name of their song was Chitu, which is the horse of Lv Bu. Basically Chitu was just a great super capable horse and that’s why it was so famous lol. Yang Kai was trying to compare their battle to the Three Kingdoms lmao. Kenken was Zhuge Liang, Ibuki was Cao Cao (LMAO), and Chitu Ma was a Ferrari lol. Not gonna lie though, the stories in Three Kingdoms are pretty iconic lol.
Tumblr media
- In terms of the performances, I liked them both! I think that Team Ibuki’s performance was very fun in the sense that it was like a story. I don’t think songs like that are popular dance songs, so I really liked seeing how they choreographed the dance and I felt that it was done in a very creative and fun way. I think where it may have fallen short was the cohesion. I like Poppin’C, but I wonder if it was difficult to fit him in because his skill set was so specific. As well, because all of the dancers were wearing different clothes, it was a bit difficult to see their synchronization during the group dance parts. For Team Yang Kai’s performance, it definitely was extremely hype. Whereas Team Ibuki wore different clothes, Team Yang Kai had a dress code so the cohesion was easy to see. But I feel like Team Yang Kai’s performance was being propped up by the fact that it had a very hype song, one that easy to dance to.
- Rochka continues to be the biggest fanboy of every single person on this show. I love him!!!
- Y’all have no idea how much I love hearing Boris speak Chinese. Yes, he has an accent, but he is also very easy to understand. You have no idea how difficult it is to find non-ethnic Chinese people who speak Chinese this fluently. Iunno, he just makes Mandarin seem so much more approachable. Boris said that he’d been in China for 7 years so it makes sense that he feels so confident speaking. A lot of people who are learning languages have to get over that hump where they stop feeling embarrassed about their accent because they have to go out and live their life and buy groceries and go to the doctor and stuff and it’s really interesting to hear Boris expressing himself.
- Henry feeling so pressured when he had to choose which team to pick lmao.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Yixing went “We’re looking at you because you’re cute!” So bold, Yixing XD
Tumblr media
- And Henry went “I feel pressured because you guys are handsome.” XD Two can play at that.
Tumblr media
- Then Han Geng went “Henry’s Chinese is so good now!” XD My mom says that to me when I make a good joke in Chinese.
- Yixing has to talk behind his clipboard because he’s so nervous lmfao.
Tumblr media
- So the rule is that one judge gets two votes for each matchup. In addition to that, that judge has to cut three members, two to enter a battle and one to be eliminated immediately, not including the captain.
- Ibuki was so upset when she returned to her seat :(
- Ye Yin had his team draw out their feelings as they listened to their assigned song. I thought it was a bit gimmicky, but this visual is cute.
Tumblr media
- I thought Team Ye Yin’s performance was cool considering this was a song that would be difficult to choreograph for. I was surprised with how the incorporated breaking and locking elements, as there are breaking and locking experts on their team. But overall I thought the choreography was so nice. It told a story, and it suited the vibe of the song. Props to Bunta for the awesome choreography.
- Han Geng said that their performance reminded him of his youth, and then Henry said that he felt the same, that the performance reminded him of Geng-ge. He was like “ge, do you remember?“ and Geng-ge was like of course! Han Geng said he remembered their romantic days X’D So unnecessary. At one point the director was like did Han Geng and Henry used to have their arms around each other’s shoulders? And both of them were like uhh yeah all the time dude.
- George was asked about his rivalry with C-Lil because they keep getting stuck together lol. Apparently C-Lil became a tea enthusiast which was cute.
- Yuwan clapping his hands while his arms around C-Lil :3
Tumblr media
- Team Liangliang’s performance was cut because apparently it was not very good, and the editors cut it out to prevent them from getting haters. I think Liangliang’s Sun Wukong headgear had obstructed his vision, and Yixing said that the performance wasn’t very in sync. A pity :(
- Gogo Brothers’ team is stack af.
Tumblr media
- Gogo Brothers + Hilty & Bosch hotel room conference lol.
Tumblr media
- AC went for a waacking + krump combo which is cool! Their performance was extremely aesthetically pleasing. Even though the fire power is perhaps less explosive, they worked together as a team very well. I definitely thought the waacking and the krump complemented each other very well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- AC bought snail noodles for his team members, and apparently it’s one of those very polarizing foods, but Chika really liked it haha.
- Ohh, you know this is gonna be good.
Tumblr media
- Team Gogo Brothers’ performance was good, but at the same time...there wasn’t anything new about it? Since there were five lockers on the, most of the performance was going to be high quality locking, but at the same time, the locking kind of overshadowed any attempt to try anything new. It was still good though, I just felt that it had limitations compared to AC’s performance that did something new with combining styles, both in terms of dance and aesthetics (costumes).
- Love to see the baby smile v.v
Tumblr media
- Lmao Xiao Jie said that Xiaohai was the good luck charm of their team XD His good luck charm name is Jr. Baby, aka Haibaobao lol
Tumblr media
- Yibo and Yixing voted for Gogo Brothers, and Han Geng voted for AC, so Henry, who had two votes, had the final say in who would win this battle. Then we got the theatrics where Han Geng, Yibo, and Yixing went into the audience because their job was done lol.
Tumblr media
- Then Henry was like “ge~~~~ didn’t you say you would take care of me?” And Han Geng’s like, I’m letting you have the SDOC experience bro.
Tumblr media
- Even though we all know it’s a joke, Han Geng is still so caring and affectionate lol.
Tumblr media
- Anyway, after all that shenaniganery, what Henry said was right. It feels so tough eliminating any single member of the team, because it was all of them who helped deliver such a beautiful performance. I know AC had a tough time going up against Gogo brothers but dammit I actually super loved their performance. So cruel!!!!!
- Han Geng felt bad because Auju had said he wanted to be in a solo battle in the 3 vs 3 challenge, but he was put in the 5 vs. 5 battle and then this group performance, so Han Geng wanted to let him have the stage to perform his best. I thought it was a nice gesture, to let him have the stage to show off in the way he was most confident with, to let himself show himself at his best.
- Then Henry was like “what if we had Auju AND Yixing????”
Tumblr media
- And then Boi Marble joined!!! Krumptastic
Tumblr media
- Yixing said that even though krumpers look really fierce, that aside from the krump, all of them are lil cuties uwu.
- Team Nelson having fun with Hanfu was so cute! :D Sometimes with the non-Chinese contestants, I worry that they find the Chinese culture stuff tedious, because SDOC does try to fit as much culture in. So I’m glad to see that they’re at least finding a way to have fun. I wish I had such pretty hanfu to dress up in v.v
- I’ll be honest though, I don’t think Nelson’s team was very synchronized. He had a lot of very good individual dancers (Bouboo, Zyko, Lil Kev, that firepower is undeniable), but there were parts when I felt like all of the dancers were doing their own thing. Maybe the choreography was too subtle, or maybe the dancers themselves had slightly different rhythms.
- Acky-san giving red pockets to his team, but instead of money, he wrote them letters in different languages T_T
- A full popping team is risky move, but it paid off. Everybody was popping so everybody was dancing to their strength. Compare that to some of the other teams, where there were some dancers who clearly were lagging because they were dancing to a style they were very comfortable with. In addition, the visual style of the performance was fresh and fun. Their costumes were very wacky and fun to look at, and their performance exuded the kind of fun vibes where you felt like you wanted to join them.
- Out of the captains who’d lost their challenges, they would have to battle each other in a round robin style tournament. First place would get to keep two of their "pending” members, and second place would get to keep one.
- Yixing got up SO FAST when Tell Me started playing. I didn’t know this song before so I looked it up and it is a bop haha.
Tumblr media
- Yixing dancing along uwu I don’t know the name of this song but it was the second song in the Ibuki vs. Liangliang battle.
Tumblr media
- AC vs. Ibuki dancing to It’s Raining Men was A LOT of fun, particularly because everybody including the spectators knew the song haha.
- The first place winner was Nelson who was able to save Tengzai and Lil Kev and the second place winner was AC who could only choose one person to save, and AC chose Fanfan.
- Ma Xiaolong and Huang Xiao comforting Ibuki because she couldn’t save her team members :(
Tumblr media
- Ahh I’m going to miss Yuri because she was so cute and fun. AC apologized for not being able to save her :( Gonna miss u bb ;(
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- I liked Latrice too T_T Hated to see her go :(
Tumblr media
- Brats playing with the microphones. They basically disassembled their standing microphones and waved the part around even after Han Geng already told Yibo not to lmao.
Tumblr media
- So this section was supposed to be the captains’ opportunity to tell the dancers what kind of team they were looking to put together. Yixing was so surprised because Han Geng and Yibo had very simple and short statements (though it took a while for Han Geng to get to his point), because the boy deadass prepared a speech. Of course he did.
Tumblr media
- Yang Kai said that his speech sounded like a motivational speech from a boss at work. That’s exactly what it is.
- Apparently Henry also prepared a speech XD
Tumblr media
- So from what I understand, the captains will recruit a team that they think represents their style. Afterwards, the dancers who have not been chosen will get to choose their team based on which captain’s style they like. I think that’s how it works, we’ll see if I’m right lol.
- Henry trying to gleam information X3 Yibo just deals with the pressure by smiling and shaking his head. Dare I say this is the first time I’ve seen Yibo look shy??????? It’s cuuuute.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Since the cubicles don’t have ceilings, Henry was like someone could be watching me!
Tumblr media
- Nosy housecat in training
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Yibo and Henry and Han Geng were playing mind games being like “oh, you picked Poppin’C? And Yixing fell for the trick ^^;; Luckily he was not allowed to change his answer so at least he’s not going to make a change he regrets lol.
- All of the dancers Yixing picked were not picked by anyone else so he was quite lucky.
- Han Geng had three of his choices matching with Henry or Yibo.
Tumblr media
- Henry has no idea how to recruit dancers so he just ends up singing love songs. Of course.
- Zyko’s loyal dude XD I can see why Han Geng is a safe choice though. Han Geng is low on the theatrics, so if I was a low key guy like Zyko, I’d probably feel less pressure being on his team. I could just focus on dance and not on entertaining the cameras.
- I can see why Nelson would go with Yibo. Yibo is quiet but he’s serious and focused and more importantly they both confirmed that they are competitors.
- Henry and Han Geng both chose Ibuki. Here Han Geng is patiently waiting/spying while Ibuki and Henry have their interview.
Tumblr media
- Then he was offered a ladder and Geng-ge became the biggest gremlin lmao.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
- Yixing the good little helper.
Tumblr media
- C U T I E
Tumblr media
- When Han Geng was having his interview with Ibuki, he locked the ladder in his own room and kept the key. Then he stole the keys from all the other rooms and gave them to Henry XD Actual troll-ge.
- Ibuki chose Han Geng in the end.
- So all of the people Henry chose picked other captains. This frame lmfao.
Tumblr media
- I think last season Yixing had tons of trouble recruiting dancers to his team. In the hotpot preview he said he was super lax about this year and it worked in his favour.

Unexpected - JJ Maybank
word count: 1378
summary: basically reader's heart has been stomped on and jj makes her laugh. a good ole kook-pogue friendship blossoming.
warnings: drinking, swearing, sadness, and friendship fluff
a/n: this was the first little imagine thing-a-ma-bob i ever wrote and i loved the idea but hated the way i wrote it so i rewrote it and i kinda think it's not too bad rn? but it's also like eleven pm and i've been listening to sad music so i'm not trustworthy. ly all! mwah.
JJ Maybank took a late night boat ride on the HMS Pogue, subconsciously taking a slow drift as he passed the bank a few yards away from the country club where the annual Midsummers party was being held for the Island Club. He was all alone and couldn't stand to go back to his father, so he thought that maybe he could pick up the Pogues afterwards. Pope had to help his father with the oysters, Kiara was being forced to go again, and John B was invited by Sarah because Ward Cameron was being crowned Guardian of the Knights of the Rhododendron for the second year in a row.
What he hadn't expected was the fairy lights illuminating the patio of the country club and the moonlight to work together, making a disco out of a girl's sequined dress. She slouched on a picnic bench by the bank, facing the party with an unreadable emotion. Maybe it was just unreadable because JJ could only see her back.
A small rectangular light came from directly in front of the girl—she just turned her smartphone on. The reflecting light shone on a water bottle that was placed on the wooden table that was probably pushing small splinters into the girl's elbows, forearms, calves. He smiled at the stickers adorning the tall water bottle as the girl fiddled with the carrying strap. It reminded him of Kiara, his friend that was so vocal of her opinions that she placed stickers, pins, and patches all over her belongings.
Another gleam from the table caught his eye, shining off the second thing he hadn't expected: the unmistakable china plate of the Island Club, swirls of gold foil and painted flowers embellishing the edges. What was a girl in a fancy dress doing eating off of island club plates a quarter mile away from the party?
JJ took a leap of faith, deciding he didn't want to be alone and neither did she—even if she didn't know she wanted company yet. He was soon introduced to the third thing he hadn't expected. The girl sitting there, by herself, fidgeting with her water bottle and eating peas, pea by pea, skewering each one on a prong of her fork individually, was the grandest Kook Princess of them all.
Y/N Y/L/N was sitting in front of him, anxiously squirming as she ragefully ate her peas, a fire in her averted eyes that he'd never seen before. He assumed she hated him, just by nature, but she never acted on that hate if it was even there. She peeked back up, expecting to feast her eyes on the county club once more, but got a face full of JJ Maybank instead. It wasn't a particularly bad view.
"Am I disrupting your view, Princess?" JJ asked, picking up a pea from her plate and popping it in his mouth. He had no idea why he didn't just slide himself off the bench before she noticed him, but he didn't.
She shrugged her shoulders, the fury captured in her irises melting to sadness at the nickname. JJ quickly looked over his shoulder at the Kooks dancing and laughing under the lights. He whispered, "What are we looking at?"
Y/N jutted put her chin slightly, "Bag check." Her voice cracked lightly on the stressed vowels.
"Waiting for Mommy and Daddy to come take you home in their Mercedes-Benz?" JJ asked teasingly. He watched the sadness in her eyes change to exhaustion. Exhaustion that everyone thought she was a stick-up-the-ass trust fund baby that had no emotional range.
JJ saw it, bowing his head slightly in an unspoken apology. He glanced over his shoulder to see a couple macking in the separate outside area for bag check. He narrowed his eyes, trying to see what had gotten Y/N so emotional. He realized that the couple was some girl and Rafe Cameron, Y/N's boyfriend. "Is that—"
"Yep." Y/N said, her ribcage shaking as she took a sharp breath, rapping her knuckles against the splintering picnic table.
"I'm sorry," JJ said, starting to grow into the rage that Y/N had been feeling before he slid onto the bench in front of her.
"You don't have to be sorry. You didn't cheat on me." She said, handing an extra fork that was on the table to JJ, who had continuously been eating peas with his hands.
"I know I just—are you okay?" JJ asked through a mouthful of green veg now that he was given an eating utensil.
"Uh, I don't know. I told him I loved him and he said it back. An hour and a half ago." Y/N said blankly, pushing the food on plate closer to where JJ was, farther away from her.
"I don't understand." said JJ, his eyebrows stitching together in contemplation. If Rafe told Y/N he loved her, why was he now macking on another girl?
"Yeah, well, I'm currently president of that company so get in line, Bub." She replied, taking a swig from her water bottle. By the cough she elicited, JJ assumed that whatever was on the bottle was not water, and Y/N actually handled her alcohol rather well.
"What happened?" He asked, pulling her attention away from bag check and back to him. She looked at him and chuckled wryly, shaking her head slightly. "I'm serious! You'll feel better."
"It's a doozy." Y/N rubbed her arms from the breeze blowing by them off the water.
JJ motioned with his hand for her to proceed and she launched into the story, barely taking a breath as she simply rambled about the encounter.
"We were kissing and I just said it. I was nervous because I had never said it before, but I was certain about it. He kinda blinked at me, and I told him that he didn't have to say it back, but he just grinned and said it. No second thoughts, no hesitations. I believed him because I meant it.
"I said I was gonna get drinks and we could watch the sunset because it looked like it would be a really beautiful one, so I grabbed them quickly. He wasn't there when I got back so I kind of ran through the country club. I definitely looked like an alcoholic, nervous, jumpy, totally bug-eyed," she paused to pull her eyelids open, making her eyes pop out, causing JJ laugh.
"And I was double fisting. I rounded the corner to bag check and there they were, just swallowing each other's tongues. I kinda stood there for a moment, soaking it in. I was frozen. But then the girl, this complete and utter bitc—actually she's quite lovely, her name's Veronica—giggled and told him she loved him. And that son of a fucking bitch said it back."
"That's—yeah. That's rough."
"Yeah. So now i'm here, vomiting my feelings out to the one and only JJ Maybank."
"What's weirder, the emotion vomiting or me?"
"100% you, have you seen that face?"
"What's wrong with my face?"
"Nothing per se—" Y/N suddenly stopped and belched, taking JJ completely aback, but he thought it was absolutely hilarious that the Kook Princess could belch to his level. She looked up sheepishly as JJ cackled into the night sky, "So maybe I did down both of those drinks."
JJ couldn't stop laughing at her, such a pristine person who he'd never thought would willing talk to him is now camping outside of a party with him. Watching JJ double over with laughter, banging on the picnic table as hiccups started busting through his laughing fit, Y/N giggled at first. Then she fell into a complete fit of mirth with JJ, her melodious laugh traveling up towards the club, up towards Rafe.
Rafe turned towards the sound, the sound he grew to love over the eighteen years of being Y/N's best friend and eventual boyfriend. His heart tightened when he saw her almost rolling off the picnic bench as tears of happiness fell from her cheeks, JJ matching her degree of laughter exactly on the other side of the table. He couldn't do anything about it now. He had made his choice, forcing Y/N into hers.

Imagine:
Erik sending the Reader vids of him beating his dick and he nuts on the screen
Warnings: SMUT
Okay so the last one was appealed llab. It’s the gif I posted with it which was perfect and tumblr wants to fuck shit up. ANYWAYYSSSSSS enjoy this nasty smutty love that my beautiful friend @goddessofthundathighs wrote up and let me tell you it’s good 😩😩😩😩😩💦
Like, Comment, Reblog 💖
Tumblr media
New Moon. Your favorite time of the month because it allowed you to cleanse yourself old old energy and set new goals and manifestations for the weeks to come. This particular new moon fell on your favorite day of the week: Self-Care Sunday. You had already spent the day pampering and treating yourself with a fresh mani/pedi and new weave, now it was time for your spiritual bath. Since you and Erik had just called it quits, you decided to focus on love. You started by saging your bathroom, making sure to focus on the corners and around the doorway. Next, you added 6 drops of jasmine oil and honey to the water; 6 being the number of love. You then added your rose bath salts and rose quartz stones to the bath. You finally lit your jasmine incense and submerged yourself in the water.
On all night // quarter five //
I’d be insane if I let you hit // I need you
Should be here // For my regretful morning
The sweet scent of the Strawberry Pound Cake candle you recently purchased from Bath & Body Works invaded your nostrils along with the jasmine as your body sank down into your bath. You closed your eyes and began visualizing yourself in a loving relationship while placing the rose quartz over your heart. You had your Me & Somebody’s Son playlist on full blast and were currently being serenaded by Ari Lennox when your phone buzzed against the toilet.
“You up?”
You stared at the words that accompanied the lewd video before rolling your eyes in annoyance. Of course Satan Incarnate would text you some shit like this while you were trying to relax. Jackass.
Though you were no longer an item, he knew how much watching him jerk off turned you on. You loved the way his face scrunched up in pleasure, his bottom lip wedged between his teeth sent a chill straight to your core. Damn him! You had half a mind to ignore the message and roll back over until those 3 dots appeared again.
“If you gone ignore a nigga, at least turn ya read receipts off, y/n.”
“Nigga fuck you!” Your fingers fired back before they found their way between your legs.
Up late, again // Head on my chest, hand on my ass //
Up late, again // Back it up on you, breathing fast //
Oh, up late again, yeah // Tell me how it is when back it up there // It up there (mmh)
“That’s what I want you to do,” he responds with the grinning devil emoji followed by another video. You hesitantly clicked play, only to find him stroking himself faster and now moaning your name.
“This dick misses you, y/n. Daddy misses the way them walls hug mah shit when you ridin’ and the way that fat ass bounce up and down.”
You were really turned on, now. He was completely naked except the thick Cuban link choker around his neck and the gold pinky rings you got him last Christmas. He had been back home so his accent was heavy on his words. It made your pussy throb. His tongue passed over his bottom grill as his hand squeezed his thick shaft. Your mouth watered as you watched the beads of pre-cum ooze from his tip. That was the last straw before you stood from the bath and took a seat on the side of the tub. You grabbed the shower head, turning it to the massage setting before placing it between your legs. You mewled as the water pulsed against your already throbbing clit and were just finding your groove before your phone buzzed again. Another message accompanied by another video.
“You playin’ wit mah pussy, y/n? You know you can’t do dat without Daddy’s permission.”
“You ain’t my Daddy no more..”
“I’m always Daddy, you just stubborn.”
Erik was always unnecessarily arrogant. You loved and hated that about him. He was one of those niggas that knew he was fine and had no problems flaunting his good looks. It was the one thing you two argued about the most. You hated the way women fawned over him and how he ate up the attention. He always dismissed your claims, accusing you of being insecure. He was a certified asshole, but he was yours and you missed him.
Make your easy to North Hollywood // Target lingerie //
Kissing your lips // Dipped in Backwood tips
I been crushing on you // We can fake watch the news, if you like
You watched the videos on a constant loop, allowing the shower head to bring you closer and closer to your peak. You were almost there when another message came through.
“Come see me..”
You stopped. Although you wanted him to break your back like a glow stick, you knew how things would eventually end. You and Erik were a never ending cycle of toxicity and although the dick was bomb, you didn’t want to bring that into this next phase of your life. You placed the shower head back in it’s holster before stepping out of the shower. Your inner freak was cursing your entire existence, but you knew you had made the right decision. You wrapped a towel around yourself before grabbing your homemade Shea Butter to moisturize your skin. He sent more videos, but you ignored them as you got ready for bed. You were about to power it off for the night when a final message caught your attention.
“This could’ve been you, but you playin’..” You clicked play on the video only to be met with ropes of his cum shooting towards your face. His moan was deep, animalistic almost as he finished himself off. He smirked devilishly at the screen, revealing his fronts before speaking again.
“Wanna lick it off? I know you want to, ma. I know that mouth is drooling right now. Damn, girl, you just love being stubborn when you could have been on your knees catching all my nut in that pretty little mouth. Got me cumming on my phone.” Erik thumbed some cum from his phone screen, rubbing it along the tip of his dick slowly. “You see that? That’s your mess to clean up. Keep playing with me if you want to. Watch how you come running to Daddy.”
You wanted to resist, but your inner freak couldn’t be sated by your fingers and vibrator alone. Erik had permanently ruined sex for you, his arrogance and nastiness were in a league of their own. He was the only man that had ever made you cum just from talking. You quickly slipped into your favorite Fashion Nova lingerie set and grabbed your keys from the nightstand. He FaceTimed you as you slid behind the wheel of your pearl white Porsche Panamera, the only one of its kind in the garage of your apartment building.
“Yes Daddy?” You answered sweetly.
“Thought I wasn’t Daddy no more,” he replied with a smug grin that made you roll your eyes.
“You want me to come through or nah? Cuz I can get back in my bed,” you snap.
“Get back in the bed, then, y/n. I ain’t the one that wanna cum right now.”
You shot a piercing glare to your phone screen, which made his grin even more smug.
“Yeeah, that lil pussy throbbin’ ain’t she? She wanna feel this thick ass tongue sliding up and down, fuckin’ that lil hole like I would wit my dick, don’t she? Yeah. You want Daddy’s face all in it, my beard soakin’ wet wit ya juices. Don’t be shy, you can tell Daddy what you want.”
You bit your lip, staring at the phone with pleading eyes as he spoke.
“You want this dick, pretty girl? Just say the word and I’ll be on my way. I know how much you miss ridin’ this dick in my G Wagon.”
You whimpered uncontrollably at the thought of the last time he fucked you in the back of his truck. He had your legs on his shoulders, digging out your pussy like he was searching for a buried treasure. Even when you came, his powerful thrusts didn’t stop.
“Spread dem legs fa me.”
Without hesitation you did as you were told, reclining your seat back so that he had an unobstructed view of your dripping wet center.
“You gone make dat pussy cum fa Daddy? You gone make a mess in ya front seat like I did in this chair?”
“Yes, Daddy,” you moaned as you drove 3 of your fingers into your entrance. Under his commands you flicked and fucked yourself until you squirted all over your front seat and phone screen. You were so caught up in your pleasure that you didn’t realize he had left his place until you heard 3 raps on your window. You readjusted your clothes before rolling the window down, only to be met with his fat, throbbing dick.
“Give Daddy’s dick a kiss, pretty girl.”
