✰ word count:0,5k
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You sit in Charles' driver's room waiting for him to come back from yet another bad qualifying.
"Hey baby.." you say softly as he walks in he immediately comes over to you hugging you and nuzzling his head in the crook of your neck.
"I just don't know what I'm doing wrong... I've been practicing nonstop staying focused going over strategies what else do I need to do" he says desperately.
You can't help but feel awful as he lays and rants in your arms. you rub his back comfortingly "Shh baby it's alright none of this is your fault..you've been amazing you have given them your all there is not much else you could do. You are doing your best and that's enough even more than that ough and I'm sure all of this will pay off in the future. you're amazing love don't you ever forget it" You kiss his forehead.
he looks up "Thank you y/n I don't know what I would do without you..." he smiles a small but genuine smile "I'll give it my best tomorrow I’ll try to win...for you" he pecks your lips and lays back down the exhaustion from qualifying finally getting to him as he drifts off...
Sunday comes and you can't say that you aren't excited for what today will bring after your little talk with Charles he seemed happier..more sure of himself and it gave you hope...hope that after all of this, he'd still be ok...
The race starts and turns one is as chaotic as always but Charles manages to snag P1 you know that it's too early to celebrate but you can't seem to shake off the excitement that's bubbling in your stomach...
Lap 7 passes he's still in the lead then lap 20 and then the final lap there is a fierce battle going on between Charles and Max right now and you can't help but feel anxious as they get closer and closer to the finish line...you see max over take Charles in the 2nd to last corner and as you begin to lose hope Charles sneaks back and snags P1 for himself.
The whole Ferrari garage is going wild as well as you, with tears in your eyes you run to Parc fermé getting right in front of the brackets. You excitedly wait for Charles to get here. And as his car parks right at that P1 spot and he gets out of the car you both lock eyes it's like no one existed around you too. He runs straight to you taking off his helmet hugging you tightly and then giving you a kiss that you will never forget... After that day it was safe to say that you knew that he'd be alright..

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 87- Wild N Out
Tumblr media
Chapter Summary: Jennie guest stars on the show Wild N' Out with Angelina. Matt Rife tries to shoot his shot with Jennie while he has been in her DMs for weeks.
Words: 8,000+
Author's Note: Wild N Out is one of my favorite shows! If you aren't familiar with it, I highly recommend watching YouTube videos about the show. They have their own channel and have tons of videos for you to get an idea of the different games and banter they have.
This is one of my favorite chapters! It was so fun to write and edit!
If you are easily offended or aren't that into jokes, perhaps this show and chapter are not for you and you are welcome to skip it.
I used some of the lines from the Wild N Out YouTube videos I've been watching to add to the chapter. So I hope you like it! I liked the build up for this. It started tame and then got crazier.
-------- "Your hair~! Finally, she has dyed her hair! You give Justina Valentine a run for her money," Angelina giggled and pulled Jennie in for a tight embrace.
Jennie flew to LA to join Angelina and stay with her for a little while before they flew to Georgia for their Wild N Out recording.
"Haha, thanks sis! I still need to hide my hair from the public. So human hair wigs it is,"
"I'll help you put it on,"
"Jennie! You're here! I've missed you!" Angelina's little brother, Tyrone, pushed Angelina away and went to hug her.
"Rude!" Angelina complained.
Jen laughed. "I'm happy to see you. You're getting taller,"
"I know! I'll be taller than you one day," he grinned.
"I see it,"
"And for the record, she has a boyfriend. So stop drooling," Angelina called him out.
"Still? Aw, when are you gonna break up with him?" he whined, causing Jennie to giggle.
"Dummy, she is not breaking up with him! Nobody is ruining our OTP! Now if you don't mind, we need to catch up, so leave us be,"
"Can you play video games with me later, Jennie?" he ignored his sister who looked offended by that.
"Sure," she beamed. "I'll play some games with you, later on,"
"It's a date!"
"Oh Lord..." Angelina rolled her eyes and grabbed Jennie to drag her to her room.
She shut the door and locked it so her brother wouldn't barge in. Laying on the bed, Jennie joined her and they began to catch up.
"Soooooo, how are the boys? They surviving well without you?" Angelina asked.
"From what I heard, not really. They're struggling a bit," Jen laughed. "But they're doing all right. Just working on the comeback. With Yoongi, Agust D is a huge success. I'm so proud of him,"
"I heard! He has BARS! A to the G to the U to the STD! That song is hot! I heard you played the guitar for a couple of his songs,"
Jen stared at her in surprise. "You noticed?"
"You have a unique sound. It's easy to tell it's you because of how you play. I think it's amazing you're doing that. The boy always has such a soft spot for you. It's so cute,"
"That is true. Namjoon is working pretty hard on the album. A lot is on his plate,"
"Yeah, he told me and kept apologizing for not having much time to talk with me. But it's cool. I get that way when I'm working on new music,"
"To tell you the truth, he's pretty stressed. And so am I. I keep thinking about my song. I just don't think it's going to be well received. Part of me wants to change it but they're not going to do that, everything is set in stone,"
Angelina playfully nudged her shoulder. "I'm sure you'll be fine. You'll be singing your truth and how you feel. Don't even worry about it or pay attention to any negativity. Focus on performing it when you guys go on tour,"
"Speaking of our tour when it's announced, I hope we get to go to more American dates. Big Hit is underestimating how many people around the world want to see us. K-Pop is getting more attention as the years go by. We need a real-world tour this time. Not just Asia, a few places in Europe, and so on. I want to go everywhere and perform with BTS. So, how is life with you?"
"I've been just doing more shows on TV as a guest star and doing collaborations. Also working on the new music. Things are getting there."
"You excited for Wild N' Out, soon?"
"Oh, you know it! I am always~ on that show! Are you excited? You get to have a chance of getting a belt! I'll have you know I won the belt quite a few times,"
"I expect nothing less from you. And yeah, I am excited, too. I'm not much of a rapper although I'm still learning from Yoongi but I hope I can spit a few bars to win some points,"
"You'll do fine. It'll come naturally. I hope they don't roast you too much. Expect them to come after the boys, though,"
"Mentally preparing. I will defend Bangtan's honor. It'll be a fun experience,"
"I really wish I was a part of the cast," Angelina sighed at the idea.
She had been a fan for years and always felt like she could be a great cast member of the show. She nailed it when it came to the games with her quick wit.
"To be a part of the show, ugh that would be awesome. I love the show so much. I feel so...at home there," she went on.
"Have you thought about asking Nick?" Jennie asked as she pondered about Nick Cannon.
"What? No way. I feel like that'll be too...forward. I mean I like being a guest on the show, so it's all right. And like Justina, she is so damn good at what she does on the show. I feel like I can't compare."
"Angelina, you'd be a great addition. Talk to him,"
"Ah...you flatter me. It's all right, just forget about it, okay? Anyway, let's watch a movie. I'm feeling Waiting To Exhale. What do you think?"
"Yeah, let's watch it. I'll make the popcorn,"
Jennie made a mental note to talk with Nick. Maybe she can help her. Angelina was stubborn and too modest about these things. But Jen could give her that extra push.
As Jennie and Angelina watched the movie, they laughed at the awkward sex scene.
"Grr?" Jen laughed. "Oh my gosh..."
"I hate men who do that. It's so weird. Why you so extra with it?" Angelina cringed. "And what's even more embarrassing is that she ain't even enjoying it,"
"Have you had a bad lay?"
"Oh hell yeah! Oh my God, there's this one guy I met at an after-party of an award show, right? Way before Namjoon. He was flirting it up, saying all the right things. He was talking all this mad shit about him having girls not walk the next day, right? This man lasted like 30 seconds and fell asleep. I was so mad. I pushed him off the bed and cussed his ass out for tryna play me,"
"Yikes~! That's uh..."
"I know! I feel like the guys who don't talk much about their skills are the best ones because they know how to put it down. And a lot of these guys I've encountered like to brag about their size but don't know what the heck to do with it. All talk, no action. It's annoying,"
"Damn..."
"But don't you worry. You have nothing to worry about when it comes to that,"
"You have a favorite part when it comes to that?"
"If anything, I would say that pillow talk is the best part for me after everything is done. You'll love it." Angelina said enthusiastically. "I feel like you and Jungkook will just be vibing and enjoying each other's company after that special moment. Watch you two be talking about video games and then end up playing some video games afterward,"
"I mean, it could happen. I see it," she giggled.
"Is Jungkook a cuddler with you?"
"Yeah, all the time,"
"That'll be the best, having you in his arms. You'll see. I usually leave after doing it but with Namjoon, it's so different. I like listening to him. I can listen to him talk for hours. We go into some deep conversations, too. He's so smart,"
"That he is, sis,"
As they continued to watch the film, they watched as Angela Bassett's character put all of her husband's items on fire. Jen was shocked at how real the scene looked as her character yelled and cussed about him.
She shook her head. "He took all the money and left her with the kids. Ridiculous. Divorcing her for that white woman,"
"I know, ain't it screwed up? Men really ain't shit. Wasted all those years of marriage to end up like this? I'd be so mad." Angelina added.
"You and I both,"
And once the office scene between Angela's character and her husband came about, Jen continued to be speechless at how they shouted at each other.
"Man, I'm amazed at how much rage you can have when someone cheats on you,"
"Can you imagine?"
"I can't even imagine it. And I never want to."
As the movie went on, Angelina chuckled after thinking about Matt Rife, "So...Matt really all in your DMs?"
"Yes! Oh my gosh. And he comments on a lot of my stuff, too. I replied to tell him I wasn't interested but he's still trying to spit game and I've been ignoring the messages. Did you see he's following some of my fan accounts?"
"Wow~! How do you think it'll be on the show?"
"I'm hoping it won't be too bad and that he learned his mistakes from Zendaya,"
"We'll see, sis. He wants you bad,"
"I'll let him down gently,"
"Well, if he gets too much, then make sure you embarrass his ass on TV,"
When the movie was over, Jennie spoke, "Hey, you know how I have occasionally talked about wanting a tattoo? I want to get one before I go back to Korea. Big Hit gave me the okay. I want to get the friendship tattoos with you,"
"Oooh! Let's do it. You still have the idea you showed me on your phone, right?"
"Uh huh. We just need to figure out where we want to get the tats,"
Angelina took out her laptop. "Let's research!"
---------
For the Wild N' Out taping, Nick Cannon had excitedly opened up the show and shouted out DJ D-Wrek and the Wild N' Out girls.
"There are two teams battling head to head to see whose the funniest. And usually, it's my team cause I be cheating. I'm just gonna put it out there like that," Nick joked. "And I changed it up this season. We doing it bigger and better. I want y'all to make some noise for my new squad! It's the Gold squad!"
For this episode, the Gold Squad consisted of DC Young Fly, Becky Robinson, Darren Brand, Emmanuel, Karlous Miller, and Matt Rife.
"And we have a very special guest. She is the reoccurring champion here on Wild N' Out, one of the youngest and most successful up and coming rappers today, and can kick your ass if you cross her, give it up for my girl, Angelina~!"
Angelina walked out excitedly, wearing a Gold Squad hoodie, and gave Nick a big hug.
"How you feel!?" he asked.
"Elated man, elated! This my happy place, I love it here!" she beamed, earning loud cheers.
"It's good to have you back. You ready to get down, today?"
"Hell yeah, always,"
"All right, that's what I like to hear!" he replied as she went over to her team. "I can't even front, we got a little bit of competition this episode. It goes down. Y'all make some noise for the team with the dream, it's Platinum!"
The Platinum Squad walked out consisting of Timothy DeLaGhetto, Justina Valentine, Chico Bean, Hitman Holla, Conceited, and Charlie Chips. Nick then proceeded to announce Desiigner as one of the co-captains of the team. 
After shouting him out, he went to announce Jennie. "Now we have another special guest here to represent the Platinum Squad as the co-captain. Someone here to try to take my belt. Not only is she singing in Korean but she is also sticking to her roots and bringing it down in the K-Pop scene! Y'all make some noise for my girl Jennie~!"
Jennie walked out with a big smile, waving at the crowd as everyone cheered. She had on a curly human haired wig that resembled her natural hair to hide the comeback color. Along with ripped jeans, she wore a cropped Wild N' Out platinum hoodie.
"Jennie, today you get a chance to take my belt, how you feeling? You ready?" Nick asked after embracing her.
"Born ready. Let's do this!" she said happily.
"Confident! I like that! Let's get to it then! Platinum squad y'all make some noise for your team captains over here!"
As things settled down, Nick went on to announce the first game. "This is a classic game we like to call Let Me Holla. It's real simple. We bring a Wild N Out girl to the stage, and each cast member gets the opportunity to holla at her. Now if it's funny, it gets a bell. If it's not funny, it gets a buzzer. The team with the most bells wins. Y'all know how we do. Y'all ready? Let's wil' out,"
Once the Wild N Out girl arrived on the stage, Darren Brand suddenly made a dive over to her, sliding on the floor. He then got back to his feet.
"I just slid in yo' DMs," he said, making everyone laugh.

Gold Team- 1 Point
Platinum Team- 0 Points
Next up was Conceited and Hitman Holla to represent the Platinum team as they approached the Wild N Out girl.
"'ight watch this. What's up, baby?" Hitman Holla greeted her with a charming smile, making her giggle. "You remind me of the 20 letters of the alphabet,"
"There's fuckin' 26 letters of the alphabet," Conceited called him out, making everyone laugh.
"Silly me. How could I forget that U, R, A, C, T," he flirted as everyone cheered.
"Okay, that was smooth," Jennie said, impressed with his game.
"No, no, hell no, that's only 25!" Conceited brought up to DJ D-Wrek. "He still missing one! He can't count!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Silly me," Hitman Holla apologized before moving in close to the girl. "You can get that D later,"
That statement caused the crowd to go wild along with the cast members who were shooked.

DC YoungFly strolled over to the girl next.
"Come here shawty," he called out but she didn't budge. "Oh, she tryna play hard to get. Come here shawty. Bring that ass here, girl!"

Gold Team- 2 Points
Platinum Team- 1 Point
Chico Bean pretended that he was ordering something. "Let me get a number two...one three and the rest of them digits,"
The girl didn't seem too impressed and neither did the crowd and he was met with a buzzer.
Angelina casually wandered over to the girl with a smile. "What's up, baby?"
"What's up?" she smiled.
"Now, if I wasn't buying this drink, would you still check me out?" she revealed a can of lime-a-rita which made the girl laugh.
DING
Gold Team- 3 Points
Platinum Team- 1 Point
'Okay, I think I got one,' Jennie thought and stood up, walking over to the girl.
For this, she pretended to look disappointed. She let out a sigh and rubbed the back of her neck.
"Man...I'm so bummed," she said.
"Why is that?" the Wild N Out girl asked.
"I wish we could go to the movies together. But they don't allow snacks in," she replied as she was met with giggles and cheers from the crowd.
DING
Gold Team- 3 Points
Platinum Team- 2 Points
Matt Rife chuckled softly at her pickup line as he gazed at her.
'Man, you are cute...' he thought to himself.
Ever since she walked on the stage, his eyes were on her. He was definitely getting distracted.
With Jennie, she felt that someone was watching her and glanced over to catch Matt staring. He quickly looked away, trying not to make it obvious but she knew what he was doing.
And so it begins.
The question on her mind was, what was he going to do?
As the game progressed, the teams went on to give out the smoothest pickup lines, with Platinum and Gold being tied at five points. Matt Rife approached the stage and the crowd cheered for him, anticipating what he was going to say.
"Wow. You are beautiful," he complimented the girl. "Now, as much as I would like to shoot my shot at you, there is someone else in this room that I've had my eye on for a while now and I want to holla at her instead,"
The crowd and cast got hyped up, anticipating his plan once Matt turned around and put his attention on Jennie.
"Ohhh shit!" Desiigner yelled as Jen's stomach dropped.
"Oh, word!?" Nick shouted.
"Wait! Wait! This is against the rules!" Conceited complained. "It's supposed to be the Wild N' Out girl! Not our co-captain! Leave her alone!"
"Give him a chance!" DC Young Fly defended him.
"He gon' embarrass himself! Zendaya 2.0" Hitman Holla claimed as that made the crowd laugh more.
"No, he not!" Darren Brand spoke.
"Yeah, so chill! I want to see this!" Emmanuel replied, hushing everybody.
Matt had made it very clear ever since Jen was announced to be on the show, that he was quite fond of her and wanted to shoot his shot. He had to at least try to flirt with her. He also wanted to redeem himself from the whole Zendaya fiasco.
"Um, are you serious?" Angelina complained. "She is wayyy out of your league,"
"Aye! You're supposed to be on his side, we're a team," Nick pointed out.
"Here he go," Justina Valentine chuckled while Matt's team cheered him on.
Jen felt her face flush at the commotion. She wasn't expecting to be put on the spot this soon. It was only the first game!
After the commotion died down, Matt went up to Jennie and gently grabbed her hand. He watched as she stood up to face him. His gaze on her grew more intense as he gave her a charming smile.
Yeah, Matt is a handsome guy. But in Jennie's eyes, no one could compare to her man, Jungkook.
"Jennifer Walker...wow..." he checked her out. "Damn, you look so beautiful today,"
She smiled politely as he released her hand. "Thank you,"
"I watched American Hustle Life. I heard you're into older guys,"
Ah, he must have watched the clips of her gushing over Tony.
"I have said that, yes,"
"Now, I'm single and I'm a few years older than you so that's a check off your list. And I hear you have this thing called an ideal type...you talked about what you want in a man,"
"I have," she agreed, surprised at how much research he put into this.
Tumblr media
"All your reasons are valid. And I fit the description. But I couldn't help but wonder about your ideal type in a more physical way. I bet you want a man that has experience. Somebody that knows exactly..." he leaned in close. "...what he's doing and how to take care of a queen like you. Somebody that can handle all that. I'm that man,"
His statement caused the crowd and both teams to go wild. So much commotion surrounded Jennie as she processed what he had said. She became amused at his bold statement and maintained eye contact. He was not going to fluster her. No way. 
Oh, how she wanted so badly to say she had a boyfriend on National Television. But she refrained and decided for this game to let Matt have his fun. She'll think of something to embarrass and shut him down in one of the next games. This won't be the last of the flirting.
'Ooooooo he about to die~,' Angelina thought with amusement, thinking about what Jungkook and the rest of Bangtan were going to think of this when this aired.
This was getting juicy. She thought about Jungkook's reaction, how Jennie was going to handle Matt during the show, and if Matt was going to flirt more later on. She decided to let nature take its course and not get involved. Since the Amity days, Angelina would always come to her aid in situations. But over the years, she has seen Jennie hold her own and was interested to see how she was going to handle this Matt situation during the recording. If she could have some popcorn to go with this entertainment, she would as she watched Jennie laugh softly and gently push Matt away since he got a little too close.
He took a few steps back from her light push and asked, "You don't have a boyfriend, do you?"
"And if I do?" Jennie replied smoothly.
"If you do?" he ran a hand through his hair, "Well, I can confidently say that he won't be your boyfriend for long,"
'HA! He is so thirsty! How delusional can you be!?' Angelina thought as she snorted at his response.
Jen couldn't help but chuckle at that. He really thought he had a chance? If he thought she was going to leave Jungkook for him, he was sadly mistaken.
"And what makes you so confident?" she asked.
"You may not hear a lot about the girls I've had and I may not have as many as some of these guys on stage but just know my satisfaction rate is higher. And you can find all that out later if you let me have your number," he offered with a soft smirk.
The crowd hollered at his words and a series of dings were heard.
"Yes! That is what I'm talking about!" Darren Brand praised with Nick.
Once Matt heard the bell for his team, he smiled victoriously and grabbed her hand to give it a soft kiss. Releasing her hand, he sent her a wink and went back to his team, high fiving Nick and some of the other cast members.
'Celebrate while you can Matt. This is far from over,' Angelina thought to herself as she anticipated what Jennie was going to do.
"DJ D-Wrek! Who won that?" Nick asked.
"Gold team got the most bells," he announced as the Gold team celebrated.
-------
"For this next one is a classic game I like to call talking spit. You know how it go. We gon' have some Wild N' Out girls bring out chairs, some water, and some buckets out here. Myself and Miss Jennie are gonna sit down in chairs, fill our mouths with water and each team member is going to get the opportunity to make us laugh so hard that we spit our water out. The team that makes you spit the most, wins the game! Real easy! Y'all ready? Jennie, come on up here, please,"
Jennie smiled and got up from sitting with her team. Taking a seat across Nick, she sipped some water, holding it in her mouth. All she had to do was try not to laugh that much. Hopefully, she can win for her team this time. She wanted that belt.
"Gold squad wil' out!" DJ D-Wrek announced.
Angelina decided to go first, smiling mischievously at her best friend. Jen knew what was up and narrowed her eyes.
"Yo, Jen, I ain't even gonna hold you...I may need to steal a few of them smart-"
Quickly spitting out her water, she shouted, "Hell no!" which made everyone laugh.
DING
"Ha-ha~! Works every time!" Angelina said victoriously.
"It's on sight after the show," Jen added and was answered by Angelina sticking her tongue out at her.

Chico Bean stood behind Jennie and began to make an improv song, dancing while she joined in, dancing in her seat, "A wha-a wha-a wha-a wha. I said I'm chico bean, yeah you heard what I said. Me and Jennie both got some big ass heads!"
She chuckled as she threw her head back, keeping the water in.
"...yeah you know what it is. No, I ain't gonna stunt, mine big in the back, hers big in the front," he went on as Nick was struggling to keep the water in. "Hey, uh, water wet wet and when we put our shirt on we make the neck stretch. I say uh, hey, the water wet wet and when we put the shirt on we make the neck stretch!"
Once DC Young Fly jumped in to do the shoot dance, Nick couldn't help but spit out his water and laugh. Jennie high fived Chico Bean for getting the team the point.

Emmanuel stood behind Nick and waved at Jennie. She politely waved back and listened eagerly to what he had to say.
"I've been thinking about this. This is all curiosity. I've seen some photos and I want to know what you think," he went on as she watched him curiously at what he was getting at.
He took out a printed photo of the BTS members and their "coconut" haircuts. "I don't know how you do it, Jennie. Do you ever just stare at BTS and be like, damn! What is with them and that yee yee coconut ass haircuts they got on?" he said, causing her to immediately spit out her water, turning to the side.
Nick spat out his too while she covered her mouth, laughing wholeheartedly.
DING
"Why he do them like that?" Angelina asked, cracking up with the rest of the cast members.

After wiping her mouth with a Wild N' Out towel, Jen put more water in her mouth as Tim DeLaGhetto went up to get Nick to laugh.
"Nick, when I listen to a Nick Cannon album it gives me a special feeling y'know," Tim began. "Like when you wake up feeling good, right? You get in the shower you all fresh, you feelin' nice. And then you gotta take a shit right after?"
The audience laughed while Nick spat out the water.

DC YoungFly walked up behind Nick and pointed at her.
"I will make you laugh, little girl!" he said, making her smile in amusement.
The two battled in a stare down for a moment as everyone watched in anticipation.
"FIRE~!" he suddenly shouted, making her widen her eyes. "FIRE~! FI-RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE~!"
As she heard him sing Bangtan's song, she struggled to keep the water in her mouth.
"You didn't spit, yet? Man! That's the only lyric I know. It seemed to be working so FI-RRRRRRREEEEEEEEE~!"
Thinking on his feet, he thought of the other English that he heard from the song. "Everybody say LA-LA-LA-LA-LA! Say LA-LA-LA-LA-LA! I do-ont know the rest of thee-ee woor-oor-oor-ords!" he said on beat for Jimin's part.
Nick pointed at Jennie and it looked like she was about to spit as she covered her mouth, leaning forward. He stomped his feet at a rapid rate while pointing as he stood up. But in the end, they both kept the water in their mouths.
Charlie Chips stood behind her next.
"Keep the water in your mouth if you think Angelina is real..." he said to Nick as Nick nodded and kept the water in his mouth. "Keep the water in your mouth if you think Justina is real...Okay, come over here," he asked for the Wild N' Out girl, Teresa Top Notch, to join him on stage.
"Keep the water in your mouth if you think everything about this is real." he went on, gesturing to Teresa, as Nick continued to do so.
Jennie watched as Teresa spun around and posed, looking as beautiful as ever.
"You see Nick? This is my whole thing," Charlie ended up snatching the wig off Teresa once she began walking away.
She was left in her wig cap which caused Nick to spit out his water and run out of his seat while loud laughter and screams surrounded Jennie.

Jennie covered her mouth, laughing while Teresa started to playfully hit Charlie. Miss Bangtan was glad she didn't get her wig snatched off. That would have been disastrous since she was trying to hide her new hair color for the comeback.
Tumblr media
"You shut up! Sit down! It ain't funny!" Teresa laughed and pointed at Nick to get back in his seat.
"Wow...I was not expecting that," Nick said on the mic once he got back in his seat.
As the game continued, both teams were tied up yet again, and this time with Gold catching up to the Platinum team, 4 to 4. 
Matt Rife took the stage and stood behind Nick. Everybody was wondering what he was going to do after the stunt he pulled on Let Me Holla. Anything could happen.
"Now this is a win/win situation for me. So, it's all up to you on how you want to do this, baby girl," he announced, making her confused.
PAUSE!
One, did he call her the nickname Jungkook likes to call her?
And two, what the hell did he mean by win/win situation?
Jennie raised an eyebrow while Angelina began freaking out in her head that Matt called her baby girl.
"If you want me to kiss you, keep that water in your mouth," Matt requested.
Jennie snorted in amusement while making an effort to keep the water in her mouth. Meanwhile, the audience and cast were shooked at his boldness and started freaking out.
"Kiss who?!" Conceited shouted.
"Kiss where!?" Chico Bean added.
"Not this again!" Karlous Miller laughed.
"Matt really got some balls today, huh?" Desiigner laughed.
"She has a choice! If she keeps the water in her mouth, that'll let me know she wants me to kiss her and I'll kiss her," Matt explained. "Spit it out, well then that's one extra point for my team. Like I said. Win. Win,"
Angelina covered her mouth. She mentally saw Matt's grave get dug deeper. She already thought about Jungkook wanting to beat his ass when he watches this episode. Oh gosh, Jungkook. When this episode dropped, she wanted to get all the tea on Bangtan's reactions.
Jennie continued to process what was happening. She felt like Matt was bluffing. There was no way in the world. Not after Zendaya. Another thing was she wanted to win. She did not want to lose this game. Her eyes were on that belt. To take it back to Big Hit and place it in her studio. 
She watched him as he began to walk over to her while the crowd was cheering in anticipation.
"Jennie, spit out that water!" DC Young Fly shouted. "Spit it out, now!"
"Spit it out!" Becky Robinson joined in.
"No~! Hold that water in! We need the point!" Charlie Chips said.
"Hold that water in! Hold it! We need the point! We need the point! Take one for the team!" Tim yelled.
"You sure you want to kiss him, baby?" Justina asked her.
The constant yelling of the teams made the pressure in the situation rise as she continued to keep her water in.
"Don't do it! Resist!" Hitman Holla shouted. "This white boy is not going to win this game! Keep it in the mouth!"
Matt kneeled in front of Jennie. "Make a move, quickly. You gonna accept my kiss or spit that water out?" he teased, raising an eyebrow.
'So, this the game you playing? Bring it. Come closer...I dare you,' Jen thought, narrowing her eyes.
Angelina bit her lip in anxiousness as she watched the scene unfold.
'Girl, what are you about to do?' she thought.
As Matt inched closer to her face, puckering his lips, Jennie ended up slapping him in the face to block his advances. That caused Nick to spit out his water and laugh with the rest of the studio. 
When he got slapped, Matt stumbled to the floor and held his cheek in surprise.
"GIRL!" Angelina laughed out loud, holding her stomach. 
Miss Bangtan never ceased to surprise her. This was hilarious and a perfect reaction.
DING DING DING DING
"REJECTED~!" Platinum squad hollered and jumped up and down in excitement and laughter.
"Damn, can you slap me again? That was hot. Playing hard to get, I see," Matt laughed and got back up on his feet, rubbing the side of his face. 
Jennie looked taken aback by his reaction.
He...liked the slap?
She swallowed the water and spoke in Korean with a smile, saying that he was an idiot for trying that cheap stunt and she was going to punch him if he ever did that again.
"I dunno what she just said but it was hot," he replied with a chuckle.
"Y'all make some noise for our girl, Jennie! Thanks for being such a good sport!" Nick praised and went to high five her once the Platinum team won the game.
------
"Y'all ready for the next game? It's a fun one, it's called Now You Wild Out. We gon' drop the beat, we gon' bring both teams up and DJ D-Wrek is gon' give us some topics and we wild out and improv about it right on the spot. The team with the most bells wins the game. Y'all ready? Gold team step up. Platinum step up. DJ D-Wrek drop the beat!" Nick announced as an instrumental of 50 Cent's In Da Club came on. "Uh! Come on y'all, uh! Now you wild out!"
"Your topic is going to court," DJ D-Wrek announced.
"Now you wild out!" everyone chanted.
In a whiny voice, Nick started, "I don't wanna go to jail, I don't wanna go to jail, I don't wanna go to jail, now you wild out!"
Pretending to get handcuffed, Chico Bean shouted, "You goin' to jail! You goin to jail! You goin' to jail! Now you wild out!"
"My lawyer's white! My lawyer's white! My lawyer's white! Now you wild out!"
"You bout to be in the cell! You bout to be in the cell! You bout to be in the cell! Now you wild out!"
Scared by his statement, Nick covered his butt and shouted, "Not with you! Not with you! Not with you! Now you wild out!"
"Pause! I'm going out!" Chico Bean quickly walked away, making everyone laugh.

"Your topic is the zoo!" DJ D-Wrek announced as Emmanuel and Hitman Holla went at it.
Playing the part, Emmanuel began to act like the animal as he announced, "I'm a monkey with it, I'm a monkey with it, I'm a monkey with it, now you wild out!"
"Well I'm a bird with it," Hitman Holla flapped his arms like they were wings. "I'm a bird with it, I'm a bird with it, now you wild out!"
"I'm a lion! I'm a lion! I'm a lion! Now you wild out!"
Hitman hesitated and that allowed the Gold team to get another point.

"Your topic is the club," DJ D-Wrek announced as Angelina and Justina Valentine went up.
"I'm in VIP, I'm in VIP, I'm in VIP, now you wild out!" Justina said.
"I'm gettin' free drinks, gettin' free drinks, gettin' free drinks, now you wild out!" Angelina replied, pretending to be given drinks.
"I'm dancing on yo' man!" Justina got close to her, twerking. "...dancin' on your man, dancin' on your man, now you wild out!"
Thinking about Namjoon, Angelina replied, "And I'm beatin' your ass, beatin' your ass, beatin' your ass, now you wild out!"
Her statement made everyone laugh and she got the point for her team.

"Your topic is being rich!" DJ D-Wrek announced as Tim and Darren went at it.
Kicking his feet up, Tim shouted, "Shine my shoes, bitch! Shine my shoes, bitch! Shine my shoes, bitch! Now you wild out!"
"You want a latte? You want a latte?" Darren pretended like he giving out drinks, "You want a latte? Now you wild out!"
"I'm Nick Cannon! I'm Nick Cannon! I'm Nick Cannon! Now you wild out!"
"I own this! I own this! I own this! Now you wild out!"
Tim fumbled his words and Gold received another point.

The Gold team was truly kicking some tail with their quick wit. Wanting to try to get a point, Jennie stepped up.
"Oh, Jennie? You want a shot at this?" Nick looked surprised as the crowd cheered.
"Yeah! I'll go!" she answered with a smile and danced to the beat.
"Oh, then it's my turn, now!" Matt stepped up.
"Oh, here he goes, about to get embarrassed again," Hitman Holla said, making everyone laugh. 
"I got this. I got this," Matt reassured everyone.
"Would you leave my girl, alone? She's not interested!" Angelina called out.
"Chill~. Don't be a cockblock,"
"She don't want you, dumbass,"
"Your topic is relationships," DJ D-Wrek announced.
"Now you wild out," the audience said while both teams danced to the beat again. "Now you wild out!"
Matt looked directly at Jennie with a flirty smile. "You into white boys? You into white boys? You into white boys? Now you wild out!"
Shrugging, Jen waved him away. "I am but not you, I am but not you, I am but not you, now you wild out!"
Her comment made everyone laugh wholeheartedly while Matt continued to remain persistent.
"Give me a chance!" he replied while his team backed him up by looking like they were begging her to say yes. "...give me a chance, give me a chance, now you wild out!"
Dancing to the beat, she remained unbothered. "No way, no way, no way, now you wild out!"
"You know you want this," he flexed his arms. "...you know you want this, you know you want this, now you wild out!"
Looking around confused with her team, she stated, "Who lied!? Who lied!? Who lied!? Now you wild out!" she pointed at him.
"I still smashed," he shrugged and jumped to the beat, causing the Gold team to look at him in surprise and get hyped. "...I still smashed, I still smashed, now you wild out!"
Thinking quickly on her feet, determined to not stutter, Jennie dropped it down low, balancing nicely as she moved her hips, knees, and ass up and down to the beat of the song, distracting him as both teams yelled. Laughter around the studio rose in volume when she spoke. "Was it in though? Was it in though? Was it in though? Now you wild out!"
"HEYYYYY, MISS WALKER!" Angelina shouted, loving her performance as she watched Jennie get back up, awaiting Matt's response.
Almost fumbling with his words, Matt managed to say, "M-my dick can definitely hit it right! And my tongue is better, my tongue is better, my tongue is better, now you wild out!"
Putting him out of his misery, Jennie grabbed onto Desiigner, letting him wrap an arm around her while she rocked to the beat with him. With Jungkook on her mind, she replied, "I've had better head, I've had better head, I've had better head, now you wild out!" 
As soon as she pulled that stunt, everyone freaked out, while Matt couldn't think of a comeback for it.
Angelina smiled proudly at her. 'That's my girl!'

"Man! We had that!" Nick complained.
"So, I really can't get your number or something?" Matt whined to her.
"No, dumbass!" Angelina smacked him upside his head as the crowd laughed.
Desiigner high fived Jennie. "That was good! Good shit, good shit!"
Desiigner went on ahead to represent the team while DC Young Fly went up.
"Your topic is graduation," DJ D-Wrek announced as the energy in the room heightened with them both dancing.
"I fucked my teacher today!" Desiigner jumped on beat with his team following his movements. "I fucked my teacher today! I fucked my teacher today! Now you wild out!"
"You didn't make it!" DC pointed at him with his team. "You didn't make it! You didn't make it! Now you wild out!"
"I put my grrrrr on the desk! I slap my grrrrr on the desk! I slap my grrrrr on the desk, I slap my grrrr on the desk!"
Yelling and moving his body wildly, DC answered, "A KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA! A KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA! A KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA! Now you wild out!"
Jennie laughed along with the entire studio. What the hell was going on?
Getting hyped like he was in the studio when making music, Desiigner began to do his one of signature adlibs with his team backing him up.
"EEEEEEYAAAA! KI KI AH! EEEEEEYAAAA! Now you wild out!"
Jennie loved that no one questioned it and went along with what those two were doing.
Moving his body vigorously with his team following him, DC shouted, "BOOP-BOP-BOP-BOP! BOOP-BOP-BOP-BOP! BOOP-BOP-BOP-BOP! Now you wild out!"
Determined, Desiigner crossed his arms. DC was speaking his language and he was not having it. He was going to win this battle.
Moving in rhythm, he responded, "Whoop-de-scoop, whoop-de-scoop, whoop-de-boop! Now you wild out!"
"You stupid! You stupid!" DC walked away, allowing the Platinum team to get the point although Gold had won the game.
-----
Their time on Wild N Out began to come to an end as they went on to the final round. Wildstyle. Jen had a blast and hoped that one day she could come back with better rhymes and play different games.
"We got Jennie and Desiigner holding it down for the Platinum squad while we got Angelina on the Gold squad, give it up! It's time for the bonus round and it's called the?" Nick announced.
"Wild-Style!" the audience shouted.
"Yep. Freestyle rapping here at Wild N' Out. We focus on them jokes so each punchline is one point added to your total score. So, the game can go either way. It's anybody's game, right now. Gold squad step up. Platinum squad step up. DJ D-Wrek, drop the beat!"
Once the beat started with both teams on stage, everyone moved to the beat while Nick encouraged the crowd to clap their hands.
"Uh. Clap your hands, y'all. Clap your hands, y'all. Yo, Miss Jennifer Walker, you a real big talker. After you left Amity, we forgot who you are. But don't worry, I'm sure Angelina can still make you a star,"

He was not holding back today.

Speaking her mind, Jennie went off. "Coming for me you must have a death wish. Bangtan is charting, where you at on the charts, bitch?"
Loud hollers were heard around the studio while Nick was taken aback that she had that energy in her. The way she put emphasis on 'bitch' threw him off.
'Suga is creating a monster,' Angelina thought as she dropped her jaw, impressed by how she fought back.

"Is she freaky?" Karlous went on.
"I don't know,"
"Is she a hoe?"
"Maybe so!"
"Well, then you will never fuckin' know," Justina answered as the audience went wild.
Jennie laughed out loud and high fived Justina. She aspired to be so quick to turn the tables like that. She had some thick skin.

"Whew~!" Nick spoke up, thinking that was the end of the face off while the crowd responded in surprise that she went there to talk about her group.
"Weird?! Weird Asian boys!? BITCH!" Tim called out, ready to get involved in the freestyle. "Jennie, you got this or do you want me to go?"
Jennie turned to Tim and smiled in reassurance, telling him she got this, and turned back to Becky. "Bitch, I'll go back to my amazing Asian boys after I win this belt. You got three seconds to get the hell out of my face before you get a welt. Trashier noise? Girl, be for real. Compared to you, our music brings more appeal. You wouldn't last a day in Bangtan's shoes, let's make that clear. Bangtan is selling out venues faster than your career."
Everyone cheered loudly at her response while Becky broke out in laughter and nodded. Jennie high fived Tim as he cheered her on.

Now Jen had some unfinished business and turned her attention to Matt who was standing behind the Gold team, quiet as ever.
"Matt. Get over here," she called him out.
"Uh oh! Uh oh!" Nick hyped up the confrontation. "This gon' be good!"
Matt laughed and stood in front of her.
"Matt, your game is tired like Advil PM. I know I am desired but do me a favor and stop sliding in my DMs," she announced.
DING!
Matt nodded and spoke up, "Okay, I slid in your DMs but stop with the front. Stop being in denial with this reject Matt publicity stunt. I guarantee that after the show you'll be calling my phone. I meant what I said on Let Me Holla, so let me make your mind blown,"
DING!
Jen rolled her eyes. "Face it, just face it. You brainless, you brainless. You said your tongue is better but I think that's outrageous,"
"Outrageous? You know you want a demonstration! After that, you'll be asking for a bae-cation," he smiled confidently.
DING
"Cute. DJ D-Wrek, can you cut the beat, real quick?" she requested as a series of oohs were heard. 
Angelina placed a hand over her heart, in surprise. "Nani!?" she exclaimed.
Oh, he was done for. Jennie was getting mad. She could tell by the annoyance on her face.
"Hm. Okay..." Jen prepared her thoughts and looked directly at him. "Matt, get it through your thick skull that I don't want you. I am not Zendaya from Disney, I can punch the shit out of you," 
Angelina continued to have her hand placed over her heart as she stared at her best friend in astonishment. She had leaned back as her reaction was priceless and was about to become a new meme.
Out of nowhere, Jennie began to speak in Korean, which made Matt look at her in confusion. She had talked about what a joke he was and turned to the camera to give Bangtan a shoutout and that she would be back in Korea soon.
Switching back to her native tongue, she put him out of his misery once and for all. "You ain't the first, you ain't the last but just know you will not be the one to smash. You might as well give up just like the others. All hot and bothered cause you can't get me under the covers. You only think with your second head so think of a new plan. But let's face it, Jennie don't want you, one minute man,"
After she finished, she dropped the mic. The studio was filled with loud hollers and laughter while Matt's face became flushed as he chuckled.
DJ D-Wrek repeatedly pressed the bell, indicating that it was all over.
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING
Angelina had cheered with the cast and she ended up falling dramatically on the floor during the commotion. Meanwhile, Desiigner got excited and patted Jennie on the back, praising her.
"Yo! DJ D-Wrek! Who won that!?" Nick shouted after everyone calmed down a bit and Angelina got back on her feet.
"I got to give it to the platinum squad! Make some noise for the platinum squad, yo!" he announced over everyone's cheers.
"Woo!" Jennie jumped up and down, excitedly as she celebrated with her team.
A Wild N Out girl came on stage with the belt and presented it to Jennie after she went to hug Nick.
"She came through and took my comedy championship!" Nick announced as she happily accepted the belt and raised it up in the air in victory. He then shouted out Desiigner and Angelina.
Jen let out a content sigh. This was awesome. She was glad she was able to do this, today. And now she got to take this title home. Another award for BTS.
"What do you want to say?" Nick asked her as he gave her the mic.
"This has been such a fun experience, thank you so much for having me! And shout out to BTS and BTS ARMY, I love y'all! Thank you!" she said.
She then switched to saying thank you in Korean for the boys and reiterated that she missed them and would be back very soon. After bowing, she was then hugged by Angelina and had her hand raised in victory.
"That's what we talkin' about! Everybody on they feet! And make some noise for Desiigner~!" Nick announced as he closed the show with a performance.
-----------
After recording, Jennie hung out with the cast to take pictures and discuss the show. The vibe was full of high energy as they laughed about their favorite moments and roasted Matt for being rejected. What Jen loved about it was that there were no hard feelings and people didn't take any of the disses seriously. If only more people could vibe like this.
"You did well! Great job, today!" Nick Cannon praised her.
"Aw, thank you! It's harder than it looks to think quickly on your feet. You guys got that," Jen grinned.
"It is but you held your own. Especially on wild style," he laughed at the memory of her calling Matt a one minute man. 
That was the utmost disrespect and a huge blow to his ego.
"Ha! Had to hit him where it hurts. Can we take a selfie?"
"Yeah, let's do it,"
Taking out her phone, she gave it to him so he could raise it in the air for a quick photo of them smiling happily. She'll make sure to post it after her little social media break is over.
"Thanks so much for having me. This was a fun time," she beamed.
"Anytime! We hope to see you and Angelina back on the show sometime,"
"Most definitely. And speaking of Angelina, she really is in her element on your show, huh?"
"Got that right. In the last episode, she was in she went off on everybody. It was one of the highest-rated episodes to date. She a real gem,"
"That's Ang for you. One of the best. Have you thought about adding her as a cast member? She'd be a great addition!" she suggested excitedly.
She watched as Nick smiled at the idea and he discussed how well she would hold her own in the games with clever clapbacks and rhymes.
"She really would be a great addition, wouldn't she? I'ma talk to her. You think she'll want to?" 
"Absolutely! She will accept with no hesitation,"
Jen felt pleased that it seemed like he was highly considering having Angelina join the cast. She hoped it went well when he talked with her. She knew how much it would mean to her if she got to be a permanent cast member.
Following some photos and mingling with other cast members, Jen went to hang out with Desiigner who still had a large grin on his face. What she loved the most about him was how positive he was and how happy he looked. His energy was infectious.
"Mama, you funny as shit. You a savage,"
She laughed. "Thanks. It was so fun teaming with you,"
"Likewise, mama,"
"I also think it is so dope and inspiring with what you accomplished. We're nearly the same age and you out here making moves ever since Panda dropped. I hope I can make an impact like that with my music,"
"I 'preciate that. It's all about the music and what we love to do. We both young and hungry in this industry. We gon' make it big,"
"Got that right. Heck, we could even make a few songs together,"
"Oh, hell yeah. For sure,"
The two took photos together and then with Angelina. Desiigner then took out his phone to take an Instagram video.
"Yoooo! With my girls! Beautiful black queens! Jennie and Angelina! You know what time it is! Wild N Out! Stay tuned, it's comin' out real soon! Ya-a-a!" he laughed.
"Platinum squad~! All day!" Jennie stuck her tongue out.
"Err-day!"
"Gold squad!" Angelina repped her team.
"Boooooo!" Jennie and Desiigner playfully said before they all laughed.
"Y'all some haters," Angelina playfully rolled her eyes and walked away from them as the video ended.
Once Desiigner went off to goof around with DC Young Fly, Matt approached her with a nervous smile.
"All right, I got the hint. I apologize for coming all over you like that," he chuckled nervously.
He did look pretty apologetic with his face looking a little pink.
"It's okay," she responded.
"B-but just know I'll still wait for you if you ever change your mind,"
She laughed. "Well, you'll have to wait forever,"
"Damn..." he sighed in defeat and nodded.
"I have a boyfriend, that's why," she proudly told him. "After rejecting you quite a few times as well as in the DMs, I thought you'd got the hint,"
"Wishful thinking,"
"Regarding my man and I, we're keeping things private until we are ready to announce it,"
"Okay, I respect it. Damn, whoever he is he's lucky,"
"Nah, I'm the lucky one," she smiled as she thought of how much she missed Jungkook.
"Man...your boys, especially your boyfriend and fanbase gon' kill me, huh?" he chuckled nervously at the thought, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yeaaaaah, they are."

cw: suicide
Something I felt about this show after season 1 (and Good Omens after season 2) is how OTPs get broken up/pulled apart all the time, but it's often for the flimsiest of reasons. Stupid miscommunications, dumb fights about trivial shit, unexpected job offers in different countries, and so on and so on. It's so rare to see an on-again-off-again breakup that feels like it's about something.
But that's just what we got with OFMD and GO. On these shows, the breaks matter. They feel inevitable, because they're so rooted in who both characters are as people. Even as you yell at your screen for them to avoid the train wreck, you know that this couldn't have gone any other way.
Hi, "Man of Fire."
Obviously, I don't want to see Stede and Ed making these mistakes with each other, but as much as I hate them hurting themselves and each other, I love they're they're so complex and messy, that they're dumbasses with their feelings.
And more than that, I get it. It makes too much sense. It's "Act of Grace" all over again, because they're still not saying the things they really need to. Even as they've been opening up, they've been staying in the shallow waters of what they're really going through.
"You shaved your bead off, for me," not You gave up being Blackbeard, everything you are, for me, and I didn't think I was worth it. "I'm sorry my horrible naked chin disgusts you so much," not I let you see what was under the persona I've been trapped in for years, and you didn't want it.
"Here's the news, I'm leaving," not I have to escape being Blackbeard because I buried myself in it until I wanted to die, but I can't ask you to come with me because what will I do if you reject me again? "You're a coward," not I know this move. I've done this move. Please just talk to me instead of running, because I know how much I wrecked things when I ran.
In this episode, Ed tells Stede about his mermaid vision, but not about why he needed a mermaid in the first place. Stede tells Ed about the letters he wrote, but not about what he left out of the letters, not about the fears he only told Ed's wanted poster.
It bugged me earlier in the season when characters seemed to giving simplified explanations for complicated issues--Stede left because he was scared, Ed 'went mad' after Stede left--but now I'm hoping those omissions have been intentional. Given all that's been left unsaid between these two, of course they have a big fight after having sex at absolutely the wrong time, and of course neither really understands what's been going through the other's head.
But when the break matters, the reconciliation stands to be so much better. We already saw this once across "Fun and Games" and "The Curse of the Seafaring Life," and now, hopefully, we're going to get it again in the finale, but even better.
But all that said, please tell me the show has gotten all its gentlebeard breakups out of its system. Whether season 3 finds them as pirates, innkeepers, or something else, I want them to spend the whole season doing it together.

I'm wildly out of the loop on sonic fandom(casual games enjoyer that mainly shared art or hcs with my irl friends only), so hearing about the muzzle discourse is crazy. It's such a minor thing, I can't imagine being that hung up on it. It reminds me of HoD criticism about Juste's running animation, that gets blown up into that specifically being a super mega big game ruining problem, somehow.
I think people with these sorts of criticisms see them as proof of the game design team is stupid and evil, but it just sounds like they don't even have a real problem to be mad about. Some of my favorite sonic fanart is playing with the designs even, so I really can't imagine wanting such rigid enforcement.
Tumblr media
I think this is the tweet that started it all (a week or so before Frontiers' release!). And. Yeah. It's just an aesthetic preference. Nothing more.
With the other design discourses, I can at least understand why someone might find it important. Silver's eye shape? Actually an effective tool of conveying his personality, that coincidentially is being warped by writers who don't understand the character. Sonic's blue arms? Yeah, they do throw off his design, although I think it can be done well - in Boom he wears a brown bandanna and in the movie he's furry lol. Sonic's shorter quills? Stretching it as far as I can, I can see how for some it blurs the distinction between Classic and Modern, and makes the latter less aeodynamic. Sonic's green eyes in an alleged Classic game? I can maybe see how Classic purists would dislike the idea of using the Modern design in a game that was meant to go back to Sonic's roots... but that game was Sonic 4 so who cares lmao.
The muzzle curve is literally a nitpick that should have stayed a nitpick. It just doesn't matter in the slightest. You can simply say "yeah I prefer the design on the right" without meaning anymore more.
(the fun stuff is when discourse gets blown over by people who QRT only to say "who careeeeees lmao the sonic fandom is insufferable 💀" my dude and pal. you are the one who are spreading the tweet you allegedly don't care about. you are part of the problem)
I think there is a tendency to finding all sorts of ways to make your opinion seem more important than others, from claiming that your OTP is secretly a bastion of representation that shouldn't be disrespected if you care about real people, to pretending that your preference for a design is rooted in some complex design theory. It's not enforcement of the design (the Sonic fandom in general has a very... loose relationship with canon lol), so much as touting yourself as smart and worthy of being listened to.

Zoya for the ask game <3 (I'd love to hear your opinions on my favorite character)
omg tysm for the ask! (and to anon who also suggested zoya, sorry it took me so long to get round to it 😭)
why I like them: honestly she's just so fucking iconic, but I love how she's amazing and badass while not being one-dimensional! like she has flaws and she has trauma and insecurities and none of that takes away from her positive traits!!
why I don't: idk I feel like she has some ideas that I would disagree with - I haven't re-read the books in a while but I always got the vibe that she's pretty pro-military and particularly in favour of the second army. and like I get it! fun light-hearted fantasy books are not obligated to deconstruct entire social systems! but if I met her irl I think we'd argue about it lmao
favourite episode/scene: I love the scene in s2 where she agrees to ally with alina! I think it's really sweet and shows her character development
favourite season/movie: in terms of the books, I think she's best in the kos duology - as fun and iconic as she is in the s&b trilogy I think the backstory and development she gets in the later books really enhances her character
favourite line: oh this is so niche but “none of this had been fated; none of it foretold. there had been no prophecies of a demon king or a dragon queen, a one-eyed tailor, heartrender twins. they were just the people who had shown up and managed to survive. but maybe that was the trick of it: to survive, to dare to stay alive, to forge your own hope when all hope had run out. for the survivors then, zoya whispered to herself as the people before her knelt and chanted her name. and for the lost.”
I love the theme of fate/destiny vs free will in the grishaverse and this is honestly one of my all-time favourite quotes - I'm actually considering having part of it as my yearbook quote!
favourite outfit: ooooh I love her outfit for the shu han heist in s2 (although obviously, honourable mention to the blue ribbon™ just for being iconic)
otp: see my answer is different for fanon and canon. in canon I adore zoyalina, in fanfic I love zoyalai!
brotp: zoya and genya are literally the BEST friendship duo ever (although I also low-key ship them romantically). zoya and nina are not necessarily a good friendship but I love analysing their dynamic so they get an honourable mention anyway. oh and her cousin lada, the girl liliyana adopts - we barely see them interact but I think they would have had such a cute dynamic!!
headcanon: she's a cat person. this is actually true and accurate bc I say so. she 100% owns cats post-canon
unpopular opinion: she shouldn't have become queen at the end of row. as iconic as it is, I can't help but think that it would backfire politically, it'd have negative consequences for her relationship with nikolai, and it kind of sets back both characters' development. this feels too harsh but idk 😭😭 might write a longer post about it at some point
a wish: for her and nikolai to fix the issues in their relationship. bc yes, I think in canon they have Issues™ but this is a fixable problem! she just needs to stop putting him up on a pedestal!!
an oh-god-please-don't-ever-happen: imagine if she actually did become darkling 2.0 lmao. it'd never happen bc I think leigh bardugo would never do that, but it would be absolutely awful
5 words to best describe them: complex, iconic, motivated, forceful, lonely
my nickname for them: idk sometimes I call her z/zee in my head (and project this fact onto other characters who I think would do the same)
give me a character and I will answer...

the otp dissertation
this essay is a copy of a free-response question i submitted to some youtuber's genshin shipping survey, and is itself edited from discord dms sent to a girl i met via genshin, who asked what the appeal of xiaoven was.
-
personally, i like to use xiaoven to explore the tensions btwn duty n freedom, as well as how one's culture shapes one's character, and especially within genshin, how that interacts with the home culture of the element of a character's vision.
like for example, with liyue, their nation's ideal is technically "contracts", that's more a symbol of fairness and equal treatment, though i tend to interpret it as mostly fairness. being based very heavily upon chinese culture, there's also a very huge emphasis on duty towards one's community and caring for it; xiao definitely exemplifies these kinds of cultural traits in how devoted he is to his own duty, wherein he slays demons at the cost of his own well-being. geo is also a very grounded element, and he was raised in that kind of very grounded, down-to-earth culture. however, his vision, a representation of his greatest desire, is that of anemo, of freedom, and while xiao is a very duteous character, his vision betrays his true desires.
venti is obviously the anemo archon, the purest form of that ideal of freedom; venti also saved xiao's life in dihua marsh by playing his flute for xiao when he was dying due to the burdens of his karmic debts. that was like, a whole thing.
while at first, it might also seem that venti doesn't get anything out of the relationship aside from, like, a cute boyfriend, that's not actually the case if one explores venti's character a bit more deeply. venti is a character who hides a lot of sadness in him, as well as loneliness and fear of people leaving. as an archon, he's obviously immortal, but he also cares greatly about human beings and is, to our knowledge, the closest to them in general.
but being immortal means he outlives them by a lot, and so he can't get close to them bc he's obviously got A Lot of Feelings, and we Know that he grieves a lot for his friends bc he's still affected deeply by the loss of his other human friends in history, like the nameless bard, whose form he still takes, as well as vannessa, one of the characters in the genshin manga.
and so venti has a lot of abandonment issues, and yet he can't really bring himself to ask anyone to stay with him bc he is the god of freedom, and "what is freedom when demanded of you by a god?" he refuses to ask anything of anyone as a god, which is why he runs around pretending to be a mortal bard.
but xiao knows venti is a god, and the way xiao behaves around gods is like, the opposite of how venti would wanna be treated-- y'know, like, very devoted to the point where he'd die over it sort of thing. n so venti can't ask him to stay or anything, even if he'd like that.
ANYWAY, so, like, assuming character development happens n stuff as xiao learns to let go of his duty n stuff, i think that xiao's stability would be really good for venti, as like, something steady he could return to time and time again after his adventures, since xiao obviously can't die from old age like most mortals, and venti can also help keep him alive in general.
and like, venti's also had to have done some questionable things in the past. like he was one of the major players in the archon war, he has to have some war crimes, and he carries a heavy burden of guilt over a lot of things that have happened to mondstadt in the past, so another aspect of it is the fact that these are two deeply guilty characters who would probably see the other as a better person than themselves.
like it's pretty obvious from xiao's perspective, but in terms of venti → xiao, it might not be so clear. however, underneath xiao's "don't touch me i'm an evil tainted monster" thing, xiao is actually a very gentle character who wants so badly to be good, yet thinks he is incapable of such things bc past trauma n stuff, and i think a character like venti, who is very good at reading people, would be able to see that, and how despite his past, xiao still tries to be good.
at the end of the day, their dynamic just compels me, and tbh i actually don't really care all that much whether it's portrayed as romantic or platonic so long as they find meaning and importance in their relationship to each other. the way xiao's vision literally betrays his heart's desire and the way venti represents the purest, most ideal form of that desire makes me froth at the mouth. it's two deeply lonely, incredibly guilt-ridden people finding solace and stability in one another, who learn to love themselves bc someone else, whom they judge to be a better person than they themselves are, has shown them that it is possible for them to be loved, to be worthy of love.
simply distilled they are two people who think they are in a monster x monsterfucker relationship, and that the other person is the monsterfucker. and i am obsessed with that.

let's GET this bread give me Skloom vibecheck give me rivusa vibecheck just bc i'm nice and i wanna gibe you the excuse to talk abt them and then for the sake of being selfish give me roxyselina vibecheck
-@parola-di-winx xx
NOVE!!!! Hiiiii
I am literally the only Sky liker (apologist, stan, defence lawyer) that doesn't give a fuck about Skloom
Tumblr media
Firstly I'd like to say, Sky stans I'm sorry I don't like Skloom I'm still one of you I pinky promise
Okay likeeeee have you ever thought about Skloom is built on both Sky and Bloom looking at each other, imagining a perfect person and future that literally can't exist based on internal fantasies, projecting that on each other, and getting together based on that?????
No, wait, listen
Sky and Bloom only know lies about each other when they first get a crush on each other, and they both get a crush on each other immediately after meeting and barely having a single conversation. Like??? That's just a bad start.
When they find something out about the other that doesn't fit their preconceived notion they both physically leave the area. Both of their personal issues match up perfectly in being conflict avoidant. Like Bloom obviously isn't Valtor 2.0, and Sky has assassins after him and some of the world's worst parents that let Diaspro stay kidnapped just for an attempt to manipulate Sky. Like, if they would have a single conversation before running
In s1 they're first kiss is a hallucination between both of them. You can say neither of them made a move because they're shy, and that's kinda the point??? Evidence that most of there relationship is in there head
Bloom is stupid jealous of Aisha in the beginning of s2, and gets mad at Sky for being jealous for the rest of s2. As someone who's easily jealous with a best friend who is easily jealous, I usually mutual jealous behavior chills out both parties because they're fears of being abandoned are unfounded. UNLESS ITS NOT ABOUT ABANDONMENT AND IS ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE!!! THATS SUSPICIOUS!!! THATS WEIRD!!!
I'm not going to bring up Bloom thinking Sky's Valtor state was real because girl as the self confidence of dirt, this is nomral for her
Anyways they should break up!!! They're relationship is built off of what they imagine the perfect partner to be like and this perception is very not good for both of them!!!
But they stay friends bc they care about each other
This ship is so important to me because it's like the basis of both of their "LIVE IN REALITY YOU DUMB FUCKS" character arc and I love that for them
Certain fandom interpretations are super cute too
Also s5 is what s4 is Rivusa to Skloom. Don't ask
THEE OTP
Tumblr media
SHUT UP SHUT UP THE DISASTERS ARE HERE!!!!
ITS ABOUT FINDING LOVE AND CONNECTION WITH SOMEONE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND AND LOVE YOU FULLY, MENTAL ILLNESS AND ALL, AND LOVING THEM BACK
ITS ABOUT SUPPORTING EACH OTHER THOUGH THE BAD DAYS AND GETTING HELP
ITS ABOUT LIFTING EACH OTHER UP DURING THE GOOD DAYS AND CELEBRATING THE HARD WON VICTORIES EVEN IF NOMRAL PEOPLE CAN ACCOMPLISH THEM EASILY
ITS ABOUT SEEING SOMEONE LIKE YOURSELF AND LEARNING TO LOVE YOURSELF THOUGH THEM
I can go in forever
They are THEE BPD couple, do not argue with me. Musa is sooo bipolar and Riven absolutely has borderline personality disorder. Musa WILL start crying randomly and cuddle Riven until the mood swing passes, and Riven trusts her to send her texts about everything that's going on and see if he's reacting like a normal person
Yes I AM projecting, thank you for asking!!!!
The relationship between two people who experience mood swings can be so important
THEY ARE GETTING HELP AND TAKING LIFE ONE DAY AT A TIME TOGETHER!!!!! SHUT UPPPPP AGH!!! THEY ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER TO GET THEREPY AND SHIT!!!!!
They're both so insecure that the fact that the other one feels the same as them loops back around to being secure
I could go on about them forever but I love them so much!!! These two being happy together is such a uplifting story, you ARE more than your mental illness!!! S3 golden kingdom, s4, and s6 on don't exist ❤️ and will NEVER be forgiven by the mentally ill community
I have not seen s6 yet nfjsdn so I have no clue about Selina's real personality
Tumblr media
1) they're both alt girlies and I fucking love that for them
2) the idea of Roxy going to CT, pissed off at being made a authority figure with a bunch of responsibility, meeting and kissing fuck all authority Selina is cute and I love it
3) THEY ARE GOING TO SUPER HELL IN YOUR VERSION NOVE!!!!!!! "I love you" *gets eaten by a deep sea fish* frothing at the mouth ect ect ect ect
4) I'm very open to it and nomral about the fandom version of it I prommy

Ah, to watch someone discover shipping for the first time is such a delight to watch.
My little brother is 8 1/2, he has his favourite shows and now has his actual two first ships. I'm having a field day with this.
See, he spends most of his time with me, which means I'm practially raising him but that's another story, anyway, since he's with me he's bound to slide into my fandom life at some point. I'm pretty open about it to him and I encourage him to share his thoughts and feelings about his stuff too.
I have Tumblr installed on all of my devices and my brother also uses my tablet and phone sometimes, so he was of course curious about the app.
I explained to him what it offers and about fandoms and at some point I also told him about "shipping". He was silent for a minute and then said, "I like A and B together. As a couple. Are they my OTP?"
Guys, you should have seen me. I was vibrating at high speed, trying not to bounce around the room, and it took all of my willpower to stay calm and carry on.
We even bought the dolls and now he plays his own scenes and episodes, and has A and B ending up together. There's drama and action, jealousy and whatnot, and it's just *chef's kiss*.
As someone who discovered shipping on her own and never really had someone to share it with (my mom indulged me but never really got the hang of shipping, I don't blame her), it's such a great experience to see a kid becoming a shipper and guiding them through it.
And the best thing? We're sharing the OTPs. We actual have the same ones. It's running in the family apparently... *lmao*

Once again reviewing less known/unpopular dramas... Ghost Host, Ghost House (2022, Thai BL) delivers what it promises to be in the first episode: supernatural family drama about ghosts, with a side of romance. I have an affection for media that knows what it wants to be and executes that.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kevin, now an adult and ready for university, arrives in Thailand to visit family he hasn't seen for a decade - as his mother moved them to the USA when he was young. He's a budding video blogger whose gimmick seems to be: cute gay boy who visits haunted houses. Little does he know that the family he's come to stay with are all dead. The loved ones once separated by geography, as a child of immigrants, are now separated from him in a way he is yet to understand. There at the old family home he also runs into Pleum, a local boy with big dreams who is cheerfully navigating through 5 odd jobs and begins to pursue the visiting hot boy with the same dedication. But whose family is also hiding wounds of his own.
"This flower reflects the reality. Pain hasn't gone elsewhere. It's just hidden, so we can move on and live our lives."
Don't come looking for a thriller or scares or ghost hunting. It's not a fast-paced drama, it's about the characters.
It's charmingly earnest in the two young men's fumbling birth of a romance, elements of whimsical humor in Kevin's ghost family navigating death (think Beetlejuice), and occasionally poignant in discussions of mortality, grief, and letting go. The family relationships are given equal weight to the romance.
There wasn't a tonal whiplash for me. The sweet & sexy parts fit alongside the fact that both MLs are surrounded by death and need to come to terms with it. The tone is fluid. In the midst of life, there is death; in the midst of death there is life.
It's not a deeply profound, philosophical exploration of grieving and I don't think that's a failure because it's not trying to be. It's just characters who are haunted, literally and metaphorically, and who find a way to move on during the course of 8 episodes.
The couple really worked for me (until the writers imo fumbled the end). Post high school, figuring themselves out and what they want. Clearly not virgins and very comfortable with their sexuality and queer desire, while being still awkward & uncertain about how to act around a cute boy you like. I appreciated that the couple is quite sweet & soft without neutering them. They are allowed to be age-appropriate horny! They're also allowed to make mistakes & deal poorly with grief in hard moments, and then apologize and be forgiven for it. Two people who met each other in the worst timing & situation for attempting a romance. Though perhaps without the ghosts that united them, they would have lived out their lives mostly on separate continents & never found home together.
The otp like each other right away - it's external factors pulling them apart. Unresolved grief that must be dealt with and the hovering dramatic tension tension that Kevin is Thai diaspora, essentially American, and this was intended to be a temporary visit to see his relatives. He's presumably considering this a 'vacation fling', while it was clear that Pleum was ready to go all-in. A separation was basically baked into the pairing. I was anxious about how this could really work. Spoiler: happy ending, but I did not entirely like how they got there (see cut).
I would be spoiling too much to discuss in detail, but the family elements are lovely. Bittersweetness in the incomplete time we get with our loved ones. And the subtle tragedy of the opportunities Kevin lost to know his extended family; the taste of home he's been missing as his mother moved on with a new american husband.
Only 2 distracting missteps in the drama. SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING.
A. Kevin is a dual citizen who's mostly lived in America all his life. His English should be perfect but it very much isn't. But tbh to a thai viewer it likely isn't noticeable and this is a thai production; that's the intended audience, not me. So I just used my imagination. It doesn't come up frequently.
B. The requisite separation trope in the last episode is always super annoying to me in kdramas & thai dramas, because it's such a cliche. At least in this case it was foreshadowed several times since early on that Kevin was NOT ready for commitment while Pleum was. (he clearly gets uncomfortable & ducks the question repeatedly when people bring up them being boyfriends. He's not a blushing maiden, this was reluctance to commit to staying in Thailand & settling down with Pleum, despite the connection, compatibility, and everything they went thru together) And it makes sense that he was too young to be brave enough to take such a leap and hadn't made peace with his 1st love Jake's death. So for once, the separation 100% made sense and I wasn't even upset by that part! My issue was how they executed the rest. Frankly, I disagree with the writing choices. I guess they were going with the idea that Kevin was resigned to having missed out. He feels like it's too late. But I hated that they had Pleum waiting for years for Kevin to be ready and it just didn't feel certain to me that they would have reunited except by chance. Like, I wanted Kevin to choose to go to him, full-stop. Not accidentally run into him, sorry that's bullshit to me. Yes, Kevin kept a momento of their time together. Yes, he obviously wasn't over Pleum. But to me it also felt like he was just prepared to move on and never see him again. No me gusta.
There's a romantic sensual reuniting scene and Pleum seems confident that he's not going to let his man go anywhere again. And Kevin is ready to say goodbye to the memory of his 1st love and admit Pleum is the one for him. I did buy-in on the idea that they experienced something truly formative together that no one else would understand. In the end, I did feel like Kevin would make a home with him now. So it's definitely a happy ending. But.. It really annoys me because without this misstep, if they had executed the separate & unite differently, this would be a fav drama I'd rec to everyone.

Ushiten 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30
STRAIGHT TO THE POINT HUH 😭
right, this is probably gonna be the longest post I ever make on this site, let's do it
1. Who is the most affectionate?
Well, it depends what "affectionate" means in this context, but probably Tendou. I've seen that man, he's basically a Wakatoshi cheer squad even when he's one of the best players in the prefecture himself 😭
2. Big spoon / little spoon?
I think most often tendou big spoon and Ushijima little spoon, I can see Ushijima rly wanting all the affection and tendou's rly happy to give it :)
3. Most common argument?
Who's sending the next care package. They live on different continents and they LOVE sending each other stuff but they can never remember who was meant to do what. Also, what time the facetime call was scheduled at. Time zones, my dude.
4. Favourite non-sexual activity?
They are 100% a picnic, flower picking, and orchard visiting couple. They do it whenever they can, just go find a random plant and yank it around until they have what they want, whether it's because it's pretty or because it's a good ingredient. It's good bonding.
5. Who is most likely to carry the other?
There is no way Tendou's bony chocolate-making ass can still get anywhere near lifting professional athlete Ushijima, but he probably could do it when they were both teenagers, though only to shock Ushi :'). Nowadays, it's obviously Ushijima who does the lifting, plus doesn't Tendou just seem like the kind of guy who demands piggy backs???
6. What is their favourite feature of their partner's?
Eyes. See my first OTP ask :D
7. What's the first thing that changes when they realise they have feelings for each other?
Ushijima prolly starts talking about Tendou. A lot (by Ushi standards). To everyone who stands still for long enough. I can just imagine it.... Anyways, yeah, I think Ushijima would be a lot more obvious, affectionate, and would suddenly compliment Tendou's blocking out of nowhere T-T
8. Nicknames? & If so, where did they originate?
Tendou calls him ushy gushy because he thinks it's funny, and Ushijima just rolls with it 😂
9. Who worries the most?
Tendou, hands down. Ushijima has no worries, he goes with the flow. Tendou stresses about pretty much everything to some degree, and sometimes he can even infect the worry into Ushijima so they're both worrying about it 💀💀
10. Who remembers what the other one always orders at a restaurant?
They prolly both do this, but it seems like an Ushijima thing. He probably has a corner of his brain with "tendou" written across it and decorated with those awful little adhesive gems that get EVERYWHERE as soon as you start using them, and in that corner he keeps everything that tendou ever said or did in case it comes up again some day
11. Who tops?
At this point leave me alone, I don't wanna think abt that!!! Although logistically, Ushijima, right?
12. Who initiates kisses?
100% Tendou, but Ushijima does this thing where he taps his lips to signal he wants a kiss, and tendou RUNS over
13. Who reaches for the other's hand first?
Ushijima. Next question
14. Who kisses the hardest?
Depends on the context? It's whoever's *not* about to get in the plane, any other context I have no clue (is this what y'all think about?!)
15. Who wakes up first?
Ushijima. He's a famer, those knuckleheads are up at 4am on a lazy day
16. Who wants to stay in bed just a little longer?
Tendou, but tbh chocolatiers are up pretty early so he knows he can’t. Life is pain. 
17. Who says I love you first?
Ushijima. He seems like the type to just say it at some random time because it’s what he was thinking about. Although, is he aware enough of the feeling to know it’s love? If not, then obviously Tendou.
18. Who leaves little notes in the other one’s lunch?
Tendou, though it’s usually just an encouragement like ‘work hard today’. Sometime he’ll put in a pun just to annoy Ushijima.
19. Who tells their family/friends about the relationship first?
This one is hard because I don’t know anything about Tendou’s family, Ushijima’s is a bit of a mess, and they share the same friendgroup. I think Tendou would probably get excited and talk about it with all the friends though, so I’ll say Tendou. 
20. What do their family/friends think of the relationship?
I’d love to put something like ‘about time’ but in reality it’s more like ‘really? him?’ from both sides
21. Who is more likely to start dancing with the other?
Tendou. Man’s French, leave him alone
22. Who cooks more/is better at cooking?
Tendou is the baker and Ushijima is the cook. If they try to leave their assigned skills, the kitchen will be a bit burnt by the end of it.
23. Who comes up with cheesy pick up lines?
Tendou, and Ushijima probably doesn’t understand them, so it’s more a crowd-pleaser thing to prove that yes, they are actually dating, thank you, Semi.
24. Who whispers inappropriate things in the other’s ear during innappropriate times?
...Tendou? Probably him, and it’s probably not anything too racy, it’s just jokes about the couple they’re having lunch with.
25. Who needs more assurance?
Probably Tendou. Ushijima has fans all over the world who thirst over him constantly on twitter dot com, so Tendou probably gets pretty insecure over the relationship. I don’t think Ushijima truly understands it since cheating literally never crosses his mind, it’s physically impossible, but he gives the assurance when he sees it’s needed.
26. What would be their theme song?
Ugh, I don’t even know, I don’t have an ushiten playlist so if I make one, I’ll edit this post and add it in T-T.
27. Who would sing their child back to sleep?
Does Ushijima even know that’s a thing that’s done? So yeah, Tendou. But I do know Ushijima would be the BEST father, he’d take his child out in fields and teach them loads of cool stuff,and tell stories about fairies....
28. What do they do when they’re away from each other?
They’re probably on the phone 24/7. The Adlers are probably in the habit of going ‘hi Ushijima, hi tendou’ because they KNOW Tendou can hear them. Semi calls Tendou and puts him on speakerphone in the crowd during volleyball games so Tendou can yell along with the crowd while he watches from France.
29. One headcanon about this OTP that breaks your heart
it’s not a headcanon, it’s true, but they’re the only people that seem to show the other one any kind of acceptance. Both of them have been outcasts their whole life and continue to be so, in a way, when they leave highschool and live apart. I realise that the relationship itself isn’t sad, but both of them are sad by themselves so I don’t need to make it worse :’(
30. One headcanon about this OTP that mends it
THEY LIVE TOGETHER IN ONE HOUSE AND TENDOU RUNS HIS BUSINESS FROM THERE AND THEY HAVE A KID CALLED MEGUMI WITH RED HAIR AND USHIJIMA’S EYES AND THEY PAINTED THE NURSERY TOGETHER AND TENDOU THREW PAINT ALL OVER USHIJIMA AND USHIJIMA LAUGHED AND NOW MEGUMI LIVES THERE AND THEY READ BOOKS TOGETHER EVERY NIGHT AND THEY PLAY VOLLEYBALL AFTER SCHOOL AND THEY HAVE AN APPLE TREE IN THE GARDEN

Hi hi hello hi, if you're still taking the little OTP prompts, for beloved shivlina, what would do you think of #5 (yes I know, the idea of shiv+physical affection, unhinged, I know, but PRECISELY), #19, and #25?
5. Who makes the first move to cuddle?
You guys are gonna judge me for this, but Shiv. It happens while they're sleeping. Shiv kinda stirs awake and she realizes she is fully death-grip big-spooning Karolina. She instantly, groggily goes "Oh shit, sorry." And Karolina, who's still technically asleep and doesn't even know what's going on, goes, "What?"
Shiv, trying to be cool about it, tries out of bed, mumbling about making coffee, but Karolina pulls her back, tells her to chill for five minutes cause it's Sunday, and eventually, Shiv settles into it. She decides it's kinda nice, actually. She's not going to make a habit of it, but it's nice.
19. Where would they go to get away from everyone else and just be alone?
They have a suite at a hotel that is now kind unofficially theirs. At first, that place was Karolina's home. And that's still the designated spot to just hang out. Sometimes, their meetings there are about work, sometimes they start with work, before they inevitably lose track of time and then it's just about each other. But that doesn't feel right on the days where everything feels suffocating. It's too easy to break that barrier between the world they're a part of, and the world that exists only between them in Karolina's home. Sometimes, you need an island to run away to. Sometimes you need to go to a hotel and pretend you're somewhere else. It doesn't feel like hiding there. It's still illicit in that way they both enjoy but don't talk about, and it's private. If no one knows where you are, you don't have to worry about the phone ringing. You don't have to worry about the baby that never was, or the divorce that never happened, or Matssen using Tom as a sock puppet, or or or...
If there's nothing around you that's familiar, you can lose yourself in a few hours of mutual isolation. Shiv once called it "partnered dissociation" and Karolina, sleepy in the way baths make her sleepy, flicked water at her from the other end of the tub before beckoning Shiv over with a short and sweet, "C'mere." It's the easiest debate Shiv's ever won.
It's an intermittent safe space, the hotel suite, and while they enjoy their time there, there's an unspoken agreement that one day, if all goes according to plan, they won't need it.
25. First time one person sees the other one crying. What about? How do they cheer the other up? Is the crying person comfortable with crying on one’s shoulder?
(sorry in advance for the angst)
The first time Karolina sees Shiv cry real, not-holding-back tears, is at Logan's funeral. Not during, not while everyone is still around, but later, when everyone has kind of scattered and it's just the old guard hanging around the cemetery--whether out of respect or out of habit ins't clear to anyone. Karolina finds Shiv by accident, in some tiny, dusty corner behind a chapel where Karolina was hoping she could have a cigarette.
Shiv's startled, and Karolina is apologetic, and though they agreed they wouldn't spend time alone anymore, that it was best for everyone, and even though Shiv tries to assure her it's okay to leave, that she just needs to let it out, to purge, Karolina stays with her. They stand together, leaning against the cold stone wall while Shiv cries and Karolina waits with her. When it's over, when Shiv can catch her breath, she asks Karolina for a smoke. Their hands brush when Karolina hands her a cigarette, and they both pretend they don't feel anything. When Shiv's cigarette is lit, and she's breathing evenly, Karolina asks, "You good?" and Shiv replies, "Yeah," while hesitantly finding Karolina's hand between them, their pinkies barely linking before Karolina inhales sharply and steps out of reach. As she walks away, she says, "I'm sorry for your loss."
