Fic: Somewhere That’s Green

[based on a post I made about Eddie’s future]

It’s a hole in the wall just off the main drag, the kind of place you can’t find unless you know to look. In a previous life it had been a pizzeria, which explained the bright green vinyl awning Eddie had no intention of replacing. He’d kept the pick-up window, too, used it to host “office hours.” (“Office hours” was supposed to mean “deliver personalized music recommendations to interested passers-by.” Now it means “help harried, double-parked parents reschedule music lessons.”)

He’d also kept the apartment upstairs. They have a house now—a nice one, with a wrap-around porch and a big backyard and a cluster of hedges Steve always insists are “a mess”—but when Eddie trips into an inventory hole and loses track of time, it’s nice to have a place to crash. If it’s not a school night sometimes Steve joins him, and they’ll relive the halcyon days of their early twenties, buoyed by cheap beer, diner curly fries, and giddy infatuation. (The infatuation has only grown and flourished even as his tolerance for salty food has withered. Acid reflux is a bitch.)

He’s happy they kept the apartment. He happy knowing that if someone needs it—someone scared, broke, desperate for a lifeline and a scrap of no-strings-attached kindness—it’s something he can provide.

Initial plans had been to focus on music, just music. It was supposed to be the utopic all-metal record store of Eddie’s nightmares. But as he started to build stock, he remembered how hard it had been to find merch for the things he liked. How a pin or a patch or poster he’d dug up at a garage sale four towns over made him feel more seen than anything on offer at the local mini-mall. How he wanted to be a hub for the weird shit not everyone liked, but the people who did loved. His horrible little magpie brain fluttered from shiny thing to shiny thing, and by the time opening day rolled around the store was a one-stop shop for all things music, merch and whatever wacky knick-knacks tickled Eddie’s fancy. Or horrified Steve. Or both. Both was best.

The Corroded Coffin guys slotted in easily. Francis always liked doing promo for their gigs, was good at it, too. But by the early 2000s, his methods were apparently so outdated his daughter begged to let her take over. (“He’s stapling fliers to telephone poles, Uncle Eddie. You don’t even have a website.”

“What is a telephone pole covered in fliers if not the working man’s web-ed site?”

“Oh my God give me your credit card I’m buying you a domain name.”

“A what?”)

Jeff got his CPA and took over the financials, reeling Eddie in whenever he was struck by the urge to make a impulsive, outlandish purchase. (“I genuinely don’t understand how you make money.”

“It’s cause I don’t do my taxes.”

“I do your taxes. At a great personal expense.”)

Gareth was instrumental (heh…) in building up the music program—soundproofing the basement and hiring instructors and coordinating concerts and organizing payment plans, all the nitty-gritty non-music stuff that made Eddie’s head spin. At some point it just made the most sense for Eddie to cede control, let him operate it however he saw fit. (“This is your baby, dude. It’s a baby that took form within my own, much larger baby. But it’s yours.”

“I’m touched by your words and appalled by your phrasing.”

“That’s the only way I could have said it.”)

(Gareth also once described the store as an “Elevated Hot Topic.” Eddie still hasn’t decided when he’s going to kick his ass.)

 Momentum grew. Ideas compounded ideas. A kid asked how to sew a patch to his backpack and it snowballed into the Build Your Own Battlevest Workshop. Wayne suggested knocking out the connecting wall between the walk-in freezer and the pantry, and now thrice weekly Eddie runs table-top games for varying age-sets and skill-levels. (At Steve’s request, the elementary school group is called H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS FIRE CLUB. Not because he thinks it needs to be censored. He just thinks it’s funny.) (He’s right.)

It was supposed to be a record store but now it’s so much more. Now there are listening parties and movie screenings and little league teams with his store’s name on the back of their jerseys and and and—

Eddie used to think, if he got lucky, he’d last a year. Now he’s closing in on 30. He was profiled by the local newspaper. They called him “a pillar of the community.”

Wild.

It’s a warm, sunny April morning. He’s sitting at the takeout window, sipping coffee from the bottom half of a teapot-teacup combo that reads, in a menacing blood-red font, THIS FREAK DRINKS TEA. His hair is gathered in a loose braid, the ends still damp from his post-run shower. (Sometime in their mid-thirties Steve tricked him into maintaining a consistent cardio routine, and now he’s the type of person who gets out of bed at the crack of dawn to knock out an “easy three.” He’s a monster, a husk of his former self. A husk with a much-improved lung capacity and thighs that can juice a watermelon but nonetheless HUSK.) The middle school is about a half mile from the shop; he pulls faces at all the students filtering past. (Steve’s kids, current and former, refer to Eddie exclusively as Mr. Munson’s Husband. It never fails to thrill him.)

He’s leaning back to flip the record piping through the store’s speakers (“Dustin I don’t care if it’s ‘easier’ to ‘create a Spotify account,’ whatever that means. We play vinyl only! Let me be pretentious about this one thing!”) when he hears a meek, polite cough coming from just beneath the window. He peers out and on the sidewalk stands a girl. She’s small, too little to be one of Steve’s. She clutches the strap of her backpack, blue eyes huge with nerves and determination.

“Hail and well met, weary traveler!” He’s speaking in what Steve calls his Dork Voice, the slightly tuned-down version he uses to put shy kids at ease. “How might I be of assistance?” The girl purses her lips, sets her shoulders, shakes her shaggy bangs out of her face. Eddie thinks suddenly of Nancy and Robin and his heart clenches.

“Do you like games?” She asks.

He smiles softly. Drops the act. “Yeah.” He rests his scarred cheek in the cradle of his palm. “I like games. Do you like games?”

The dam breaks.

“Yes!” She replies at once, breathless with enthusiasm. “My family plays a lot of board games, like Game of Life and Monopoly, and they’re okay but kind of boring, but my brother taught me how to play Settlers of Catan and I really liked that, and my friends and I played Werewolf at a sleepover but we made up a bunch of extra rules to make it harder, and my cousin showed me this video game where the ending changes based on what choices you make and that’s so cool—”

“Alright, slugger.” Eddie can’t help but laugh. “What game are you looking to play?”

The girl collects herself. “Okay,” she says. “Okay, so. So I like it in games where there are rules, but also you can make stuff up? And you can do something weird that might ruin everything but also might pay off? And sometimes you have to work with other people to accomplish your goal, but alliances can break?” Eddie nods. “So there’s this one game. It sounds like so much fun, but nobody I know plays it. They play it on this show I like, well, okay, it’s not really a show, it’s, uh, okay do you know what a podcast is?” Eddie beams.

Steve swapped study hall coverage so he could pop in for lunch. Tonight is parent-teacher conferences, which means Steve’ll be home late, which means Eddie will get absorbed in a project and either crash upstairs or stumble home well after Steve’s gone to bed, which means they’ve got to snatch the time together they can get. They split a sandwich, a salmon burger from Costco Eddie threw in the air fryer and smashed up with avocado and grilled poblano pepper. (”It’s heart healthy!” “You’re heart healthy.” “Aw.” “I meant that as an insult.” “I’m not taking it as one, mwah mwah mwah.”) Eddie eats too fast, as he often does, and drags his nails over the veins of Steve’s forearm to distract himself from his gastrointestinal tract turning inside out.

“🎶Myyyy babyyyy myyyyyy babyyyyyy,” he hums against the shell of Steve’s ear. “You’reeee my babyyyyy sayyyy it to meeeeee🎶.” “Alright,” he huffs, tapping his fingers to the knobby bone of Eddie’s wrist. He presses a kiss to the underside of Eddie’s jaw and rises. “I gotta get back.” He slings his messenger bag over his shoulder, gathers the papers he’d promised he’d grade but didn’t. Eddie watches him readjust, watches him smooth down the salt-and-pepper hairs dusting his temples, watches him push his glasses up the bridge of his nose. He catches Eddie watching and asks, slyly, “What?”

Eddie wants to say, I love you. He wants to say, you’ve made me happier than I ever thought I could be. He wants to say, I’m so grateful I built this life with you.

But he’s still himself, so what he says is, “Those khakis make your ass look great.”

Steve scoffs, and with a bitchy eye roll he sinks his weight onto his back foot and says, “I KNOW,” and there he is. There’s the man he married. He looks over his shoulder before he leaves, his honey-warm eyes liquifying Eddie’s spine.

“Hey,” he murmurs. “I love you too.” Eddie kisses him and kisses him and kisses him. Pretty good life.

Why do you think Zendaya’s nail artist stopped posting her?

😮‍💨 this is a question that has kept me up at night! (not really but i have gone in circles about it more than i should admit)

some reasons i’ve come up with :

lisa was busy and simply forgot to post

this was the case back in september when we got the delayed posts from august

that was also 3 months ago. how many times would someone forget to post about zendaya? come on now

maybe they’re trying to distance themselves from relying on celeb clients for engagement and promo of their salon

😂🤭🤭😂😭😭🤭🤣💀💀💀🤭😂😂😂

zendaya, kylie jenner and hailey bieber are literally the pinned posts and im pretty sure lisa doesn’t even do hailey and kylie’s nails anymore

celeb pull is always good

lisa is still posting other clients even at their events

z has a new nail tech

this is the most likely one to me

but if this was true HOW has no one found the new tech?

i just find it hard to believe they wouldn’t post about having z as a client (especially after she did try a few new techs while in london soooo)

if there is a new tech please share with the class

z is doing her own nails

this is possible. she can do her own makeup perfectly i’m sure she has the skill to do her own nails

but why would she do this? and for this long 😅

z asked lisa to stop taking pics for socials just because

definitely possible

i don’t know why she would suddenly want to stop especially since this has been going on since early september… what going on then would’ve prompted that? … hmm

i’ll add my own spin off for that theory 🤭 z asked for lisa to stop posting her nails because she knows we keep up with the nail posts. so she doesn’t want us to see what her engagement nail set. and the posts will start up again before dune press starts next year like nothing happened

truthfully, i don’t know. the break in consistency (outside of when z was filming for her movies in 2022!) is what makes me squint. we prob won’t get the answer either. but those are some of the reasons i came to most often. if anyone else has ideas please share!

intro post/shameless self promo

is it me or have there been a bunch of new Snape blogs lately?

I’ve certainly had a lot of interaction from blogs I haven’t seen before thanks to my gifsets, so hello new friends 👋🏻

I wanted to do a quick promo post as it’s a little harder to get new readers when I’m not posting new chapters anymore

so! if you haven’t yet come across my lil (not so lil, it’s pretty long) pet project, may I interest you in my fic, Soul of Ice?

specs:

completed (but I am still writing one shots a plenty, so there’s still new content!)

46 chapters

317k words

available on Ao3 or WattPad

here’s what you should know:

Dad Snape. It is so Dad Snape. I’m not trying to say I inspired a new wave of Dad Snape in the fandom, but part of the reason I started writing it was the lack of Dad Snape, and now there’s plenty of Dad Snape, so take of that what you will 😌

The main love story is not romantic, but platonic - it’s the father/daughter relationship that’s the love story here

That said, the romance is a key part of the story!

Snape’s love interest is not a student or a professor. She is one year older than him and their relationship developed while he was a Death Eater. (She is not a Death Eater though!) I find this is a fairly rare dynamic to find with Snape ships so hopefully it’s of interest for people looking for something a little different!

There is frequent spicy smut 🌶️

The daughter character is gay and her sexuality is a key part of the storyline

There are also two canon characters I wrote to be gay

🚨 BEGIN SPOILER ALERT 🚨 Snape lives and has a happy ending 🚨 END SPOILER ALERT 🚨

And don’t just take my word for it…

“I did not think it would be here for the daddy/daughter mutual longing, but I am HERE FOR IT.” - @missmeasured

“I adore the relationship between Snape and Abbie and I love the interactions between them 😭💕” - @waddyaknow

“I'm a very picky reader because I easily stop reading when writers make Snape too much out of character, like him being too affectionate or showing too much emotions in public especially in front of his students or colleagues. But I have to say, this is so far one my favorite stories to read about Snape having a daughter and a partner.” - a_pink_sheep on Ao3

“I love love LOVE Abbey and Sev's banter. I've been reading this whenever I can since yesterday. I can't put it down!” - Ninafia on Ao3

“I love the way you write the Malfoys. I love your Lucius so so SO much. I love the way you write them all as much as I love *them*.” - @sevsnapes (aka queen of Snucius so this is incredible praise tbh)

“I loved your Snape, he is wholly in character while loving both Sephy and Abbie. Abbie feels like a young Severus Snape who got love of his parents and overall happier for it. Persephone has similarities with Snape and they complement each other. You really write well and I liked your OCs and their relationship with Snape.” - Naaga on Ao3

If I have your interest, head to my pinned post for reading links for both Ao3 and WattPad! 💚🦇🐍

Introduction again

It’s been a while since my last pinned post and a lot has changed. I deleted it cause I decided I wanted a new one.

The basics

My name is Edie

I’m from Aotearoa/New Zealand.

I’m 20

She/her

I’m autistic (likely autHD actually but the ADHD hasn’t been diagnosed yet)

I’m a lesbian

I’m an animation student on the weekdays, a musician and a essay writer on the weekends.

Aquarius sun, Capricorn moon, Aries rising

INFJ

A witch who’s extremely lazy with her craft.

I’ve been on Tumblr since 2014! You may have known me from…

Many cartoon fandoms. Too many to count. (Spanning from 2014-16)

Emo bandom tumblr circa 2017-18. Particularly the Fueled By Ramen/Decaydance bandom.

Early Scenecore tumblr in 2018. (I still have a few selfies and hit posts from then gaining notes).

Britpop/early alternative music bandom 2019-2021

And since then I’ve just kind of been doing my own thing and mainly using this blog as a personal moodboard and an outlet to post ideas I don’t want to share anywhere else. I do post about a lot of things I like, but I’m not tied heavily to fandoms anymore - I mostly just lurk. That being said though, don’t be afraid to talk if you share a particular interest with me. I always need to infodump!

What I post

Stuff I find pretty. This blog is mainly a moodboard. I keep wanting to expand out of it but I always give up at some point.

Stuff that makes my brain go brrrrr! Mainly bands + shows.

Music stuff! I mainly like to post lyrics from songs I’m writing that are a work in progress, and sloppy covers/demos that I feel aren’t polished enough for my other socials. I also do cheeky self promo of my songs that you can already listen to. You guys should stream my E.P ‘Thing Is Me’.

I’ve been aspiring to write long form essays about things I’ve been passionate about for ages. I don’t think I’ll directly post them here, but once I get my Substack up and running you’ll be able to see them getting crossposted here.

Stuff I like

Feel free to talk to me about any of these things cause they’re my main special interests!

Music history from the 60s-2000s. In terms of what specific period I’ve jumped to at the moment, I’m fixated on mid-late 2000s indie music, twee pop of any era (mid 80s-present tbh), + some of my old favourite scene bands lmao. I’ve been nostalgic for them lately.

Skins UK (yes I know how 2014 and sad of me). I’m a Cassie apologist so leave me alone if you think she sucks lmao. That’s my Blorbina and my adopted little sister who’s currently got a song + a Substack essay series being written about her. In all seriousness though, I find this show to be very misunderstood in general.

Sighthounds! I love all dogs in general but the pointy ones are my favourites. I have a Greyhound, he’s my best friend :,) When I move into my own home one day I want to have another Greyhound + a Borzoi!

This is a very casual one of mine but (in case you can’t tell from what I mostly reblog here) I love fashion! My fashion tastes span the same general group of decades that my music history knowledge does. Much like my current music fixations I’ve been inspired by the late 2000s, but what I actually wear on a day to day basis is never one particular style. I mix and match a lot.

bla bla bla DNI time

Don’t follow if…

You meet the typical DNI criteria (no ists or phobes of any kind please! Just basic bare minimum human decency)

No pro ana (one of my special interests being skins + me seeing myself in a disordered character you made the face of your little circle does not give you a pro ana free pass around me. I’m not disordered myself + I ask you don’t follow me because I don’t want to accidentally trigger anyone by letting people of your group in my space.)

Same goes for general S/H blogs!

That being said, if you are already vulnerable seeing me potentially reference any of these sensitive topics in anything I post/talk about don’t follow me for the sake of your own well-being if you know it will be triggering to you. Stay safe ILY. I do try and tag though and you can always ask me to do that if you wish.

No creeps of any kind! Please do not send me anything sexual, or talk to me about anything sexual unsolicited you will be blocked immediately.

Okay that’s everything! If you’re cool I hope you enjoy following me. Please listen to my music. ‘Edie VC’ on every platform if you want to. You’ll like it if you like twee/folk/dream pop Xx

All the tags below are for my interests, aesthetics that people could say match my vibe, as well as my face tag (if you want to know what I look like) and my text tag. Hopefully I can make some cool new mutuals.

how do you get people to read your fics because i'll be honest i havent got a wealth of readers rn </3

oh!! i don’t really know?? i wouldn’t say that any of my fics are very popular by any means, i think my most popular one has 600 hits or something?? i mean the quillkiller corner is pretty small and a few of mine are some of the popular ones there, but still not very popular overall u feel?<3

lately i’ve been posting snippets while writing!! to try and engage people with my fics (and also bc i go crazy in my brain rot and just need to share ahshdjd)!!<3 i also think it helps having a pinned post with all your fics, talk about them, self promo even if it makes you feel weird, tagging (both on ao3 and on tumblr) and so on and so forth!!

#my fics #if anyone else has tips feel free to share!!!<3

The Do’s and Don’ts of Reblogging From Me!

or What I Do And Don’t Allow To Be Reblogged [trust me, this list will not go how you think it’s gonna]

Do’s

ART [mine or someone else’s I may reblog too]: As long as captions are not erased and credit remains intact, please do reblog drawn art! We as creators put A LOT of effort into our art, so I wholly condone this!

WRITING [mine or someone else’s I may reblog too]: Writing gets a worse rap on the reblogs than drawn art. If you like my writing, or someone else’s I have reblogged, pleasepleasePLEASE reblog it too! It really helps in the long run and makes us authors feel nice and beloved!

AESTHETIC POSTS: Pictures or sayings I reblog are totally okay to reblog from me! Once upon a time, a very long time ago, when Tumblr RPCs were new babybabs, we didn’t do fancy promos and friends very rarely shouted us out. We found each other by the posts mutual followers reblogged because hey guess what! We share an aesthetic, we’re totally chill with each other!

MUSIC/VIDEO POSTS: Similar to above, if you like a piece of music or video media I post or reblog, if it jives with you too, please don’t feel like you can’t use it too! This is why we’re friends, man, we share these interests, for our muses or for ourselves.

ASK MEMES/PROMPTS: Similar to Aesthetic posts up there, these were also a way to say ‘hey we have similar interests and here’s a fun way to start interacting with me!’ I’m totally down with people reblogging memes from me. Sure, sending one or two in before you do it is appreciated but at this point, if it jives with you [and especially if the source blog has been deactivated/changed their name/whatever it is tumblr code does to people nowadays] feel free to grab it!

ASKS NOT LABELLED AS RP: I wrote that. It counts as written art. Headcanons, drabbles, things not made for a RP are totally okay to reblog!

PROMOS: I know I’ve been ragging on ‘fancy promos’ this whole post to this point, but times do change and the RPC culture nowadays is ‘fancy promos or bust’. Which is weird, when did that happen. But if you like, obviously my promos [and my pinned post, for that matter] are all rebloggable! Since the information is virtually the same across the board, it don’t matter where you get it from me, if you feel like being nice [and I appreciate you if you do!], feel free to do the reblog thing!

OOC POSTS: As long as it’s not labelled with something below, OOC interaction on-dash is perfectly fine by me! Some of the best partners I’ve had were the ones who had a back and forth with my ‘drunken liveblogging’ threads, it was great! I post a picture of my cat? Reblog it and say what you think! It’s perfectly fine and over the years, I learned it helps break the ‘You Are So Intimidating’ ice! We’re all dorks here. We’re writing interactive fanfiction. We’re not intimidating in the least.

Don’ts

TAGGED ‘TO BE DELETED/DO NOT REBLOG/ETC’: This is it. Anything I specifically label as ‘don’t touch’? Pretty straight-up and self-explanatory. Replying is great, but don’t reblog the stuff I’m specifically asking you not to. I’m usually pretty good at letting you know, so you don’t gotta worry about me not tagging something I don’t want spread around.

RP THREADS YOU ARE NOT PART OF: Common courtesy really; if you’re not dealt in, Liking is chill. Reblogging is not. The usual on this one.

Hopefully, straight-forward! ohyeah and this post is totally rebloggable too, if you want it.

#OOC #i said i was gonna put one of these out and i did #mostly for a Big Thing i'm getting ready to do soon

Hello Angie!

I hope you don’t mind the novel but hey you wanted to share thoughts so here I am!

Rationalize is a big word but me thinks this is happening for various reasons, you tell me what you think about these options:

- Louis has this persona of “not wanting to grow up” so a younger girlfriend fits what everybody knows about him. She also seems to be tailored to the het audience who wants to “date him” and might identify with her. You know, sort of what El 1.0 was in 2012, the girl next door sort of thing but still “a fashion model” (who does no modeling, lol). But these pap pics feel precisely planned to make her look like a fan, so the message seems to be if she can date him, all fans can too! He’s a normal dude dating a normal girl who looks just like you! Buy tickets to his concerts and you might get lucky (because I can pretty much guess she’s gonna disappear real quickly and he’s going to be *available* and party boy during tour 🥲)

- There’s extra gayness in the documentary so having a son wasn’t enough. Seems unlikely but who knows? Rainbows can’t be erased from his tour shots, so I guess it’ll have to be addressed in some way.

- Also having a new romance in general helps with publicity, so for him to be talked about before the doc release. I still would have picked a higher profile, maybe another musician girl, if you really needed to sell a certain image AND benefit Louis and expand his audience, but again let’s be real I think his PR is incompetent. If I have to give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe the fan, down to earth girl angle is what they actually wanted to achieve with picking a good-looking nobody (back to point 1). It’s clearly benefitting her more than him (she went from 5K followers this morning to what, 35K now?)

- last wild though, maybe there was something with Eleanor wearing his clothes and still posting from his house that didn’t sit well with someone? So they needed to make a point? Wild but we’ve seen worse so keeping all options open.

I genuinely don’t know, but a mix options 1 and 3 seem the more rational. What do you think?

Last thought: I really hope she was ready and well informed before agreeing to this, but the whole shitshow with the Pinterest pins and Spotify playlists tells me there was a level of naivety on her end which is alarming. She was probably guided into this by a reckless agent with who knows what promises and it scares me. I don’t mind the age gap (my parents started dating when she was 18 and he was 29), but I do mind the fact that she’s likely too young to handle the hate she’s getting, regardless of the economic gains she’ll get from this it’s going to be traumatic if you don’t have the right support to handle it/maturity.

Hello, angel! Thank you for sharing <3 I will slowly go through your thoughts and explain what I think.

1. The forever young boy is interesting, bc Louis comes off as the loud hyperactive guy sometimes. Unfortunately I think they burned this option out when they gave him a fake kid lol

2. I think feeding such a dream to his fans is a huge underdevelopment, but it’s loyal to his fanbase origin. Still. It’s so cringe for me that a 31 yo man with a kid goes out with a young girl who pins tiktoks and random tattoos researches on Pinterest. It’s counterproductive, dumb and lazy. I don’t look at them as examples and I don’t expect them to do smart shit. we’re talking about rich people growing up as completely detouched from normal world since they were teenagers. Me and them, you and them? We’re not the same as them. I hoped he was smarter than this tho. Of course this can be useful as promo for the doc… will it tho, we know how his team and the media treat his content and projects, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they wouldn’t get any coverage not even with these pics. I don’t think that’s how you expand a fanbase or get more people curious in his work.

3. I think Eleanor simply wanted to be out for whatever reason. I think they replaced her with a new one bc E wasn’t going to engage with bg. She has never and she won’t (so far). I hope this new girl did her homework because fandom is hard to manage.

Yeah I saw that too which is definitely an explanation that makes sense but also makes me so sad because a lot of the blame fell onto machida and akaso for that and at least from what i’ve seen and know about them it looks a lot more likely to be their/one of their agencies… I always want to pull my hair out too because seriously men getting married yeah chief that’s about as gay as it gets but a little peck on the lips is where the line gets drawn):£: and then I wonder how it works too cause even with that scene in the drama with kurosawa’s imagination in ep 9 when they were literally in bed like man that was a big fuckin step up in terms of any physicality between them which made me wonder like okay that was fine but again actually having a visible kiss wasn’t? I just don’t understand and when the director was asked about the whole no on-screen kiss thing he said it was to put more emphasis on their ‘emotional bond’ like what😭 idk nothing really adds up but some homophobic entity pulling the strings behind them unfortunately seems to have all arrows pointing at them it really is kinda :// tho cause I loooove the movie and the beach scene but also wish so much wasn’t taken away from it cause seriously imagining that part from the manga in live action form especially knowing how much of amazing actors they are is so crazy I would have killed a man for that💔

(putting second ask below for length!)

Ah naina there’s some unconfirmed tea which you can choose to post if you want to or not idm!! Some ppl have been digging into it and think that it’s tri-stone akaso’s company and it honestly makes sense from the promotion of the movie and how the release was treated on their side for example their official account was basically silent the whole time which is super weird because for his other roles they post about them regularly and retweet the promos but for a movie where their client like that’s your actor!! was literally the main character they were radio silent?? and in fact this was during the time hiru was airing and they posted about that almost every day but barely a word about cherry magic… and even weirder on his paid for fansite thing eawd at the end of every production they post a picture with akaso and his costars but there wasn’t one with him and machida… there’s so much more I’m gonna have to go back and look for it if you want but it’s just so ????? To me

the thing abt akasos agency is actually the exact thing i saw, i didnt have any way of checking it for myself so i couldnt confirm it but if its true that explains . basically everything ?? and its so dumb too bc if theyre so intent on being homophobic why did they even let him not only act in the drama but also come back for the movie ???? like were they expecting the levels of gay to go down or what 😐 and not doing promotion for ur own actors work just bc its a queer role is ??? extremely fucked up first of all but also theyre just losing out on money themselves so ??? who knows whats going on in their brains lol

either way to me it feels like neither the actors nor crew did this stuff on their own bc the way they handled the drama+movie doesnt match at all, they wrote and acted krdcs story v carefully and respectfully without that typical baiting and pandering, and also making fujisaki aroace when she wasnt in the manga and giving her so much depth too shows they did care abt the queer rep so i doubt theyd have any problems with the kissing and all themselves ? sensei even supervised the whole thing and donated movie proceeds to marriage for all so it rlly doesnt add up that any of the crew involved would be the one opposing stuff like this .. wouldnt be surprised if it was actually those agencies or even the network higher-ups doing all this, and the actors getting blamed for it is such bs too but alas its easier to pin it on them than admit theres a more systemic homophobia at play, and fans will usually fall for any random rumor and take is as truth so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#im not rlly that informed abt actor/agency/tv stuff esp in jp so i might be wrong idk #its just annoying to me the amount of control agencies seem to have esp when it comes their actors in queer roles #and to the point theyre forcing changes in the media itself by censoring things is....... god #why are agencies so fixated on marketing their clients as 'single and straight untouched by the gayness' theyre ACTORS thats their JOB???#sigh . now im remembering why i stay away from live action medias usually #my answer

posting this to pin on my blog bc I’m worried people might take things the wrong way:

every day since the press conference, I have made jokes about cm punk, the elite, and hangman in regards to what (we’ve been told) happened. these are very much. Jokes.

I’ve already given my stance on hangman’s part in all of this, which is the only real important thing that matters to me, but I guess I should do it again, clearly, as well as the rest: I do not believe he was blameless in this at all, and I think he should’ve known better than to throw a dig at punk in a promo. if the elite was indeed talking smack about punk, they’re also not blameless, and I do think they should’ve known better than to talk to punk in the state he was in, as EVPs (which I never ever liked them being). punk himself is the only one, though, that made himself out to be a complete ass in front of cameras, and that is his own prerogative. if I did that in front of cameras and then got into a fight, I would try to blame everyone else but I would know deep down the only one who controls me is me. it makes it look like he was the most to blame, and he probably was. but that doesn’t shake blame from any of the rest. I hope they figure their shit out, because I miss seeing all of them. truly.

but I will continue to make jokes because it’s the only way I can stop thinking about it seriously. it gives me anxiety and the only way I can cope is to make fun. I don’t put these in their tags bc I don’t wish to be rude. If you want me to tag my dumbass shitposts as something so my mutuals/followers can keep following me without the nonsense, please tell me. otherwise, I will happily keep on making jokes.

𝐎𝐎𝐂; Update and thoughts under cut

Okay so, the new theme graphic is done, new pinned post is up. All that’s left is an updated promo so will see if i start working on that soon.

But on another note, I am so happy to see how the asoiaf is coming alive again, and even how there are more Rhaegar blogs popping up/returning! The only thing that lowkey bumps me is how I instantly wanna follow but then I read rules, etc., and I realize that me following from here would probably go against their rules, so I don’t follow ( I always try to be very respectful of the rules of blogs ok, they are there for a reason ).

I’ll admit I miss the older days when I didn’t have to be on the lookout for that, when I even interacted with duplicates and did twin verses together, etc., because it was so much fun. We were like each other’s biggest supporters. We had different takes on Rhaegar and talked about it but without any hate or judgement, we respected one another’s views and understood that some people would agree and others wouldn’t. But nowadays it’s different and though as I said, it does bump me a little, but I also completely understand and do not judge/blame anyone.

This is RP, this is a hobby for fun, and we shouldn’t have to deal with discomforts in the place we go to have fun, to let our creative sides run free in a safe environment, with people that understand that. Everyone has their way of providing that space for themselves be it via being selective, soft/hard blocking, not following, etc.. Just because it bumps me a little, doesn’t mean I will not accept, understand or respect that because I definitely will. And it doesn’t take away from how excited I am to see the surge of asoiaf blogs, be them rhaegars or other characters. Thinking all of this makes me feel older than I already am.

But yes, I just wanted to share these thoughts because that is one of my resolutions this time around; to actually share these thoughts instead of just keeping them in chats with friends and rp partners.

Didnt Lucifer have a whole arc with her though? Sorry not trying to be rude.

((Yes, he did. He still continues to have a massive arc with her, but this is NOT the blog that he is on. And I am sorry for losing my patience, I really am, but I am starting to get tired of repeating myself.

Lucifer has never ever been a muse on this sideblog, he has always been on @infernal-dominion the entire time. I don’t know if you’re the same Anon that keeps making the same mistake over and over, or if you’re multiple different people, but this has happened almost 6 times in a row so please, TELL ME why you think Lucifer is a muse on this blog despite the fact that he’s not listed in the Muse Biographies, he’s not listed in the Verse Descriptions, and I have never ever written him once on this blog and ONLY on @infernal-dominion, with said Lucifer side blog listed on the pinned post on my main blog account. Genuinely tell me what is making you think this so I can fix it so it can never happen again, because it’s genuinely starting to both worry me and irritate me with how much people keep making this mistake. Is it the profile pics that look too similar? Is it the look of the promo art? Do I need to make a promo art piece for Lucifer’s side blog? Tell me, please.))

#mun post #ooc post #((sorry if this sounds aggressive I am just annoyed to hell that this keeps happening))#((I want to fix it I just don’t know what the problem is))

SETTING UP AN INDIE RP BLOG : How to find a url, aesthetic, and the basic set up graphics needed. This is from my years of tumblr experience and this is meant as more of a start up guide on how to do it. This is not the way everyone else does it. WALKTHROUGH / WATCH ME MAKE A NEW INDIE RP BLOG. Like / reblog if this is helpful to you or you use it.

So I’ve seen a lot of twitter roleplayers coming over to tumblr and doing the indie scene. I have decided to show you my set up process. This is just what I do and the tips that are helpful to me. This is how I do things and might not work for everyone but it covers just blog set up and not how to get followers, how to start threads, or terms common in the rpc. If you need help with anything? Just send me an ask! Like / Reblog if this is helpful to you.

url help : I do a lot of ofthe, of, the, isms at the end / beginning of urls or I like to to take a characters name or something and add c’s or x’s at the end of things. So for example using these two methods we are going to take ELIZABETH SALTZMAN and make two url ideas out of it. ofelizabethsaltzman or elizabethxaltzman. I could go ahead and use these urls for characters then in hopes that one would work for me. A common thing that I hear is “all the good urls are taken” and that might be true but you can make a kick ass url using these methods that isn’t taken.

after making your account you are going to want to confirm your email.

After that I start thinking about the kind of aesthetic when I think of a character! Making a long list

With this in mind, I can now make graphics / find a color scheme, etc. Write down objects, colors, & feelings that pop up in your mind when you think of your character. The more that you have on this list? The better off it will be. If you want a more organized list? Here is a template to use and start throwing everything together.

COLORS: ( hex codes included ): OBJECTS: FACE CLAIMS: FEELINGS:

make a google docs / carrd with your RULES. I have a long post explaining what is good to have in your rules page.

I don’t do AESTHETICS for my rules pages and things on google docs because I want everyone to be able to read it all easily. So it is with little formatting and a few graphics here and there. Nothing large or anything else..

3. a PINNED post is a must with all of your links. A style example of how you could do your pinned post is here. The example of the screenshot is below that you can use but credit would be nice.

❝# URL. ❞ Independent CHARACTER NAME of SHOW written by PENNAME. This blog is +18 with triggering content that is tagged! If you are under the age of 18 this blog is not for you. This blog was established in DATE.

NAVIGATION - tbd

CREDITS :

Tag set up : One could go fancy or one could go complicated. My favorite tagging system is down there for you to grab.

›› TAGHERE. ❝QUOTE GOES HERE.❞

So the graphics that one needs for their blog? As a start up the rule of thumb for me is as falling.

1 dash icon.

100 rp icons

1 divider

1 promo ( gif or static )

1 ask meme answer header

1 header for your dash view

Now some might make this rather larger with URL banners (Making those as you get rp partners going), make out of character banners and even a headcanon banner. If that makes you feel happy add that to the list!

Now I am not saying copy straight from people (asking people who have the aesthetic thing that you like if it is unpopular if you can use it with credit? Is the way to go). Now, making another list of all the aesthetic things that you like for graphics. Scroll through your favorite rp blogs, make notes of TRENDS that are in use that you love.

This isn’t a large list at all. I like lists so damn much to help me so that is why we are constantly making them but you can skip that all together and throw something awesome together.

Just going to show you ALL of the graphics that I made for this blog real fast

Now onto my promo ! Wait at least 24 hours after making the blog to post the promo to hopefully make it into the tags. Follow a few blogs, like a few posts, etc.

To be safe? I use the first FIVE tags as that is what I know goes into tumblr’s search system. Don’t use curse words in your post or tags either on a post even though it would be nice and fits the muse. Tumblr doesn’t like it much.

Go through and click things off that you need / want off on your settings.

This might be a trial and error to get exactly what you are wanting your dash to look like. I had to decide what was wanted and what wasn’t.

Formatting your replies. I list out all of the things that I liked. Pick out of the several things the ones that you REALLY want to keep. Don’t do all of them because it can be hard for people to read but one or two of them? Not as bad. I have tutorials on formatting up for everyone to use to help understand coding, some aesthetic placements, etc.

Another thing that might be helpful is write up a few sample pieces with your chosen format? So that way you can see what it looks like and use it when you get stuck.

If you have a personal server? Make a section (check out my tutorial on my personal server). Also, I make a folder to put all of my resources there. This is from my other blog but still very helpful and worth it. I have everything at my fingertips and can easily get to everything I need with a click or two inside of a folder.

Diversion - bonus

I’m including links because I 1) don’t care if this particular piece is collected in the tags and 2) because I’d rather keep the original promo post for the posted piece SFW and 3) because I’m not going to add this bit to AO3/other crossposts because hassle.

This is just a relatively unedited bonus scene that didn’t make it into the actual prompt fill. Also because I wrote it drunk for a laugh.

Original Fic: AO3 | Pillowfort | DreamWidth | Tumblr

For MegOp Week 2021

Prompt Day 1: Intimacy / Pride

Continuity: General/Unspecified Original Rating: Teen Bonus Rating: Explicit Relationship: Megatron/Optimus Prime Characters: Megatron & Optimus Prime Original Warnings: Incredibly suggestive themes, implications of sexual interfacing, mild violence Bonus Warnings: Sticky sexual interfacing, briefly mentioned prior dubious consent fantasies Summary: In which Optimus is confused by what Megatron is doing.

Only the bonus scene below the cut, please see one of the original fic links for the rest of the one shot.

Optimus hadn’t anticipated the request to pin Megatron to the ground and have his way. In all his nighttime fantasies, he had believed it would be the exact opposite, that he would have “willingly, but reluctantly succumbed.” That would have allowed him to let go and pretend later that he had simply been unable to dissuade the attentions and was just preserving himself.

What else could he have done?

That’s what he would have been able to say to justify his actions.

Now, with Megatron held down willingly on his back against the cave’s floor, crushed beneath Optimus’ heavy chassis, he didn’t exactly have the same grounds to waive away responsibility for his choices. Not with hands grasping his hips and pulling him in and moans of his name that spoke volumes for how long such an encounter must have been brewing in his nemesis’ processor.

Somewhere between heated kisses and the possessive grabbing of broad shoulders, Optimus heard a panel click. At first, he wasn’t sure which one it was… or which one he expected. The fantasies told him to expect the front-most panel, the one concealing a spike that he had dreamed of surrendering to.

Yet, expectations didn’t match reality.

Something wet and soft brushed against his pelvic plating as he sat, nestled between scarred, armored thighs.

In an ultimate sort of way, he supposed, it didn’t really matter which way they ended up slotted together. It was the fact that they did this at all that was important.

Instinct said to simply retract his own modesty plating and claim what was offered to him so freely, but that would have made this a base, utilitarian interface. That wasn’t what this was about. This was about the both of them finally being close, wasn’t it? An expression of affection—maybe even love if he dared reach out that far—that had been hidden behind hostilities, a consummation of sparkfelt secrets.

Right?

“Are you sure?” he asked, trying to pretend he wasn’t a bit nervous. This was still a vulnerable position. Even being spike-deep in a valve wouldn’t necessarily protect him from a plan to commit murder. The inevitable questions about how Optimus met his end, however, would probably not be ones Megatron would willingly answer if asked later.

“Of course, I’m sure, Prime,” Megatron snapped, shifting impatiently on the ground. “Do you think I would expose myself simply to mock you?”

“No, I… I suppose not.” That did seem like it would be beneath Megatron’s dignity, what little he possessed anyway.

“Now are you going to ravish me or not?”

“Do you have to call it that?” he asked, the plating retracting around his spike housing with a soft hiss.

“Is that not what this is? What would you call it then?”

“I would have called it ‘lovemaking.’”

“… I regret asking and retract my question.”

“Is that wrong?” Had he misjudged Megatron’s feelings? Was he supposed to take what Megatron had originally said at face value? That this was a way to relieve stress?

He sighed, leaning down to try a different tactic, placing a gentle, cherishing kiss to the side of his nemesis’ face.

“Your sentimentality will be your undoing, Prime.”

“I can live with that.” If he got to enjoy this moment at least.

He pushed forward with his hips, the tip of his unguided spike awkwardly bumping against warm, soft folds as the frame underneath his own shuddered.

It would be alright.

firsts with Choso

Imma do this as a non-curse au and also force everyone to see my vision of Instagram star Choso lol, gender neutral lads~

Content warning: there is drinking

First meeting

Choso was a celebrity. Did he ever call himself one? No. But in the eyes of the internet, he was properly famous, amassing an easy two million followers and counting through his short time on Instagram

Posting mainly fashion content, it was no surprise that he had hundreds upon hundreds of photographers asking him to model for them and brands begging to collaborate

His manager took care of most of those things, fielding the serious requests with the not so serious

Which is how he found himself shooting for a pretty well known magazine

There were people shouting and running around even though it was barely pushing six am. Choso hadn’t slept the whole night, his insomnia keeping him awake until the photoshoot. Downing a piping hot black coffee first thing in the morning, when he arrived at the shoot there were already assistants pouring him more cups.

“Choso, hair and makeup is ready for you.” His manager said, putting a hand on his shoulder and guiding him silently to the room. The lights were way too bright here, stinging Choso’s eyes and almost giving him a headache.

Sitting down in the makeup chair with his eyes closed, Choso heaved a heavy sigh as he got comfortable.

“Uhm, excuse me?” A timid voice sounded behind him, from the previously closed door to the room.

“Hm?” Cracking open an eye, Choso looked in the mirror in front of him to see who was speaking. A makeup assistant, wringing their hands together nervously and not meeting his bloodshot eyes.

“I’m uh- I’m here to start your makeup.” Your voice was so cute when addressing him, a little higher pitched than what he assumed was normal. Biting your lip, you slid into the room slowly, standing a good distance behind his chair and looking at him through the mirror.

“Okay, I’ll sit up.” Gulping the rest of his coffee down, Choso sat up pin straight in the makeup chair. Even if he fell asleep in the chair he trained himself well enough to not slouch over once he was in this position.

You began to work silently, pulling out products and laying them down with trembling hands. Your nervousness was cute, endearing almost to Choso. He knew he could look rather intimidating, that’s partly why he had so many followers, and to see you so scared in front of him made a lazy smirk grace his face.

“I’ll be putting your base on now?” Even though you tried to sound stern your sentence came out as a question and Choso blew air sharply through his nose, fighting the uptick of his lips as you fiddled with products.

Choso sat perfectly still while you began to touch his face. With half lidded eyes he could see your name badge swinging from the lanyard around your neck. (Y/N) was printed in large letters, impossible to miss.

A few minutes passed in pure silence between you and Choso could feel your hands shake when you cupped his cheek to apply foundation and patting powder across his face. The door swung open just as you went to swap a few products around, someone had come to take you away for a few minutes.

“Oh, I’ll only be gone a little bit, but the main makeup artist should be here before I return.” You spewed out, dropping the things in your hands against the counter. Forcing a polite smile at Choso, your feet shuffled awkwardly as you flip-flopped between saying something more, waiting for his reply or just leaving in entirely.

“Thank you (Y/N), you did a great job.” Choso said calmly, smiling back at you and taking a sip of his now lukewarm coffee. Your mouth dropped briefly in surprise and your brows rose up, your whole face opened up in sweet surprise. Biting your lip and rocking on your heels, a shy giggle left your chest.

“Bye Choso.” Giggling again as you said his name, you scurried from the room like an embarrassed school girl, gushing about Choso to the person waiting for you as you left the room.

First hangout

The next time Choso saw you, it was to fix his lip makeup between pictures, and your hands shook then too

As the day wore on, Choso found himself completely smitten with how helpless you were in front of him, how scared and nervous you were. He felt the ever growing urge to protect you, even if it was from himself

He’s elated when the team proposes going out to dinner together, both as a way to refuel and get to know each other better since this photoshoot will be a few days long

Heading out into the darkening world outside the studio, Choso makes sure to stick close by you

He’s not standing directly near you, but Choso makes sure to stay behind you as the group walks. He’s watching you talk animatedly with your friends, no doubt other small time assistants just eager to get started in the industry. Your smile warms his heart and when you laugh loudly at a crosswalk Choso chuckles as well.

Once at the restaurant, he cunningly makes sure he’s seated next to you. He doesn’t say anything, but he can tell your demeanor has shifted because you get just a little bit quieter, that nervous energy comes back a little.

“(Y/N), what’re you thinking of getting?” Choso asks you as he looks over the menu. He can hear your breath hitch, obviously surprised he even addressed you.

“Uhm, I’m not sure, I’ve never been here before.” Shrugging your shoulder, you quickly skim the menu. “Is there anything you’re thinking of getting?”

“Hmmm…” Drumming his fingers on the table, Choso shrugs as well. “Whatever you get, I’ll get too.”

“That’s a lot of pressure.” Laughing nervously, you flip through the menu. “I don’t even know what you like.”

“I’ll like whatever you like.” Choso wouldn’t necessarily call this flirting, he didn’t consider himself particularly suave or charming, but from the way you stammered and hid your face with the menu, clearly flustered, told him that most people would consider what he was doing flirting. Especially you.

“Okay but don’t blame me if you don’t like it.” Came your whispered reply from behind the menu, and Choso just knew your cheeks and ears were on fire.

“As long as you pick it out, I won’t have a single complaint.”

First kiss

From that moment on, Choso knew he liked you. It wasn’t hard to get you to come out of your shell and talk more casually with him, afterall he was the oldest of a lot of brothers

Talking with you all throughout dinner, Choso was a little more excited to go to work. Even if you didn’t end up liking him the same way, you could still be friends - something that Choso was kind of lacking

As the days of the photoshoot wore on and you got closer with each other, Choso found himself yearning to ask you to hang out outside of all of this, when it all ends and you don’t have to be professional with him

He knows he only has one chance left at the very last team dinner, a celebratory occasion that is sure to go out with a bang

“Let’s drink to all the hard work we put in these last few days!” The photographer cheered, already drunk and swaying in his chair. No one cared though, everyone was already a little drunk. Choso had a few beers himself and was feeling the beginnings of a pleasant buzz, and it seemed so were you. With a dopey smile on your face and slightly glassy eyes, you laughed a little too hard at a joke across the table with a fruity drink in your hand.

“(Y/N) don’t drink too much, you’re a terrible lightweight!” Someone teased a few seats down and a couple people chuckled in agreement.

“W-whatever!” Sticking your tongue out, you downed the rest of your drink and quickly ordered another. “I deserve to have fun, that photoshoot was stressful!”

It was indeed. Between actually taking the pictures, going to the different locations, waking up early and creating promo content for his Instagram, Choso was swamped. The only highlights of his day would be when you would come to do his makeup or fix it, or these times when you’d sit together during dinner.

“Yeah you do.” Putting a hand on your shoulder, Choso pat it a few times and you easily swayed with the motions. This wasn’t the first time he was touching you, he’d pat you on the back a few other times, but seeing you bend so easily made him laugh.

Choso kept a keen eye on you for the entirety of dinner, watching you down drink after drink and forcing you to drink water in between some of them. It was fun to see you let go like this, he never thought he’d get the chance, and the desire to protect you was coming up again.

When the group decided to go to karaoke after dinner, Choso kept an arm around your shoulder as you all walked to the next location. He kept you from falling and bumping into things and being kidnapped by random strangers you wanted to talk to as you walked by. Getting to the room in one piece, you all crowd in and the party continues.

Choso can barely make heads or tails of what’s going on, there’s people taking pictures and videos of everything, his manager is drunkenly securing another deal for him over the phone, and there’s loud and offkey singing blaring through the speakers. He almost thinks about bailing, but seeing you so amped up and singing along as well has him staying.

“Choso, what’d you think?” You shout over the music ten minutes later. You’re breathless from doing a song and collapse into the open seat next to him.

“You did great.” Choso grins. He can see the sweat on your hairline and he had definitely taken pictures of you singing to look at later. You beam at him, obviously happy to get his approval, and bounce up and down in your seat.

“I have to go pee, do you know where the bathroom is?” Your tiny drunk bladder would truly be the death of you. Helping you up, Choso exits the karaoke room and guides you down the hall to the bathrooms, far away from the noise filled rooms. Waiting for you to come out, Choso can tell you’re properly drunk.

“You good?” Quirking his head to the side, Choso grabs your upper arm as you stumble towards him.

“Choso! I gotta- gotta do something!” Hiccuping through your words, you have the front of his shirt in a vice grip as you square your shoulders in front of him. With a fiery determined look in your eyes, you push forward.

At first, you bump your noses painfully together and a quiet curse slips under your breath. But then you try again and your lips actually make contact with Choso’s. The kiss is sloppy, messy - it’s as drunk as you are. He can taste the liquor on your lips, creating a smooth glide along the surface that makes it easier to slide against him.

Just as Choso is getting into it, his hands coming to grip your waist instead of your arms, you let go. Push him away hard and stumble back at the same time. There’s tears in your eyes, lower lip quivering pathetically.

“(Y/N)-”

“I-I should go.”

“(Y/N) wait-” You run away before he can say anything, before Choso has a chance to grab your hand and pull you back to him and tell you that he’s wanted to kiss you for a while now. Standing dumbly in the hallway alone, he hears the slam of a karaoke room door, no doubt from you.

Slinking back into the room, Choso can see that you’ve decided to sandwich yourself between two other people and avoid his burning eye contact for the rest of the night. You don’t even properly say goodbye to him when it’s time to part, just slip away into the Uber your friends called.

First confession

Even though you managed to give him the slip, Choso still got your phone number from someone before the party completely dispersed

The kiss stayed on his mind for the rest of the night, keeping him up as he played the moment over and over again in his head

By the time morning came, Choso was itching to message you

He had to know why you kissed him, and if you’d let him kiss you again

(Choso): hey this is Choso I got your number from one of the others

(Choso): we have something to talk about

He waited a good couple hours for you to text back. The longer time went on, the longer Choso just wanted to call you and be done with waiting in limbo.

(Y/N): sorry about last night

That was all you had to say and Choso just knew you were kicking yourself over it.

(Choso): don’t be sorry, I liked it

(Y/N): you don’t have to lie to try and make me feel better

(Y/N): it was a drunk mistake and it won’t happen again

(Choso): what if I want it to happen again?

He could see the little typing bubbles disappear and reappear with a fervor. Your mind must be racing as much as his was.

(Y/N): I’m not interested in being a fling

(Choso): good thing I don’t want you as just a fling

There was a nervous sort of adrenaline building up in Choso’s body, making his cheeks flush and fingers tremble, but emboldening him as well to keep going.

(Choso): Let me take you out on a date, I wanna see you at least one more time

(Choso): then you can decide if it really won’t ever happen again

(Choso): deal?

You were silent on the other end reading his messages. There were no typing bubbles to give away your position. Choso was stuck in limbo.

(Y/N): alright, deal

First date

Choso quickly set up a date at a trendy cafe he frequented, one that he took plenty of Instagram pictures at

He could sense your hesitation to go out with him over the phone and he was quick to dash away any second thoughts you had about dating someone that was internet famous

Choso liked you for you, not for what you could potentially bring to him in terms of content

He waited nervously outside the train station for you, wearing an outfit he’d painstakingly reworked a hundred times before deciding on something

“Choso!” You called out to him, rushing towards his figure waiting against a brick wall.

“Hey.” Smiling softly, Choso’s fingers twitched with the urge to hug you, but he held it off. He didn’t want to overwhelm you, possibly scare you off by being too forward.

“You’re here early.” Your eyes quickly danced over the clothes he chose and you let out a hum. “I feel self conscious now, you dressed so nicely for this!”

“You think?” He chuckled, tugging on the edge of the designer hoodie he’d thrown on.

“Yeah, but that’s to be expected of an Instagram star!” Shrugging your shoulders overdramatically, you gestured behind you to the bustling sidewalk full of people. “Should we get going? I’ve never been to the place you suggested.”

“Yeah, lets go.” Choso’s hand hovered over your lower back, guiding you through the people and onto the sidewalk. All it took was seeing you jostled around by a few people walking by for Choso to get fed up and grasp your hand firmly in his, weaving his fingers through yours.

“Stick close to me, it’s pretty crowded today.” He whispered in your ear, pulling you halfway behind him and grabbing your other hand as well and guiding it to hold onto the back of his hoodie. With his imposing nature and intimidating stature, Choso effortlessly pushed through the throngs of people and you quickly found yourself at the cafe in question.

“Let’s go in.” Turning around to face you, he’s stunned when you leap up and peck his cheek.

“Thanks Choso.” Giggling, you sidestep him and go to open the door of the cafe, but you’re stopped by Choso’s unmoving body. “What’s up Choso?”

“(Y/N).” He’s looking at you with scarily wide eyes and his tone is deathly serious. “Will you kiss me again if I buy you a drink?”

“Huh? Yeah of course, but-” You’re cut off from telling him that you’d kiss him without the drink by Choso bolting forward into the cafe.

“I’ll buy you all the drinks you could ever want then. And a slice of cake too.”
