#so it’ll be interesting to see it come back! I hope it becomes a cool center for collaborative building

[theminecraftbee]

anyway, so the hermit permits: this feel VERY MUCH like the hermits going “we did not like how little we used the shopping district in 8 and 9, we want to create a mechanism that not only brings it back but hopefully forces more collaboration by preventing one guy from having the super shop”. I’m here for it! interested in seeing how it plays out going forward, it definitely at the very least intrigues me! as does iskall mentioning that if he doesn’t keep up with demand the other hermits are allowed to rebel and take his rocket permit, sir what does that mean,

#hermitcraft #me loudly: REVOLUTION! #more seriously: it’s been A WHILE since we had a super relevant shopping district #even in s9 when it was theoretically the center of the king ren plotline that was mostly only about the shopping district on a meta level #and was really more about the quests and the storyline #so it’ll be interesting to see it come back! I hope it becomes a cool center for collaborative building

Secret Crush

Ot7 x Reader

Summary: How they would handle having a secret crush on reader who’s not a celebrity and/or only views them as a friend, so they can’t show their affection.

Warnings: lil angsty,

A/N: Thanks to the lovely anons who requested this! This is slightly similar to the falling for a friend hcs I did a while back, but I thought I’d try to cover the more unrequited aspects, though I'm not the best at those. Hope you like it anyway!

Masterlist

Requests are open

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Jin:

GUILT. He honestly feels so bad that he’s put you in this awkward of a situation, even though you don’t have a clue you’re even in an awkward situation.

As I said before, I think he would try to content himself with just being the best ‘best friend’ you could ever ask for.

Which works, until it doesn’t. Because the closer you get, the harder it is for him to hide his feelings.

He fusses/worries about you a lot.

Would probably get jealous surprisingly easy, but try and brush it off with comments like “They’re just not good enough for you.”

Yoongi:

I’ve said it before, if he doesn’t want you to know about something, you. will. never. know. and that’s especially true when it comes to this.

Even if he’s absolutely head over heels for you, you won’t catch on, bc he finds legitamite excuses for any questionable behavior he might display around you.

Becomes a bit standoff-ish at times, but if he ever sees you struggling with something or needing help, he’s there in an instant.

It honestly gives you whiplash how fast he goes from ‘I don’t care’ to ‘I care a lot actually’, but he claims he’s just trying to be a good friend.

Y’all probably fight a lot, but If anybody else ever hurts/upsets you tho, he will end them(only half joking).

Hobi:

Again, as I said before, he’s naturally a very affectionate person, so how he’d behave towards his crush wouldn’t be that different from how he is with his other friends.

But on the inside, I think he would be overanilyzing everything, trying to make sure he’s not overstepping any bounderies.

Very much the ‘suck it up and smile’ mentality, which isn’t exactly the best/healthiest approach, but he doesn’t care.

So long as you’re happy, he’s happy.

I actually think he would be one of the worst at this kind of dynamic, he’d either end up confessing or distancing himself.😥

Namjoon:

So conflicted.

Might try and distance himself from you at first, bc he thinks it’ll make it easier from him to get over you, but then he just feels lonely all the time, and he’d rather be with you than without you, so he just tries to suck it up and pretend everythings cool.

Which he’s pretty good at, to an extent.

Literally can not stand seeing you flirt or show interest in anyone else tho, like it makes him feel physically unwell. If you do, he’s ghosting for a bit.

You end up developing a very intense ‘on again, off again’ friendship, which results in more than a few fights between you😖

Jimin:

As usual, Jimin is the personification of confusion for me.

Bc he doesn’t exactly hide his feelings towards you, but he’s always tacking on the line of ‘as a friend’ to the end of everything to avoid looking suspisious.

Flirting is basically his second language tho and that will not change unless it makes you uncomfortable, and then he’s the image polite respectfulness.

He just always wants you to be comfortable and happy, but he can get a bit over protective at times for seemingly no reason.

Every now and then though, it starts to weigh on him a bit more and he gets a bit moody and distant.

Taehyung:

Acts completly normal, until he doesn’t.

Can go from beaming and having the best time with you to sad puppy in instant bc he caught himself going to hold your hand or smth, and he has the record scratch moment of ‘wait no, that’s not what friends do’.

Of course you catch these sudden drops in his mood, but he never tells you what’s going on, so you just try to stick closer to him to make him feel better.

Which only increases his frustration sometimes, but other times he can’t help indulging in the affection when he can get it.

Tends to feel guilty afterwards for not being honest with you, but he’d rather have you as just a friend than potentially not at all.

Jungkook:

Not the best at hiding his feelings, but he manages.

His main issue is that he gets jealous and overprotective very easily, but knows he can’t exactly keep you close without drawing attention to himself.

Has nearly gotten into several fights bc he didn’t like the way someone was looking at/treating you. You joke that he’s your guard dog, but he takes it seriously.

Similar to Joon, y’all would end up with this ‘on and off’ type relationship that goes from being super close to barely talking.

Another that I think would either end up confessing anyway, just to get it out there, or pulling away.

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 59- ISAC 2015 Chuseok Special

Chapter Summary: Jen shows off her studio and gets noticed by her celeb crush. BTS plays Smash. Volleyball becomes a new competition for the ladies at ISAC as Jen finds it to be her calling while the guys dominate in running. Jen does a V-Live

Words: 14,000+

Author's Note: Again, not sure if they are still active on Tumblr but also @darlings-illustrated created Jen’s V-Live outfit for this chapter. <3 credit to them! :)

----------

After her outing, Jen spent the rest of the day relaxing in her room, in good spirits. She was grateful for Sam Okyere and his kindness. She was looking forward to seeing him again and even assisting him with his future charity projects.

While she chilled in her room, she felt bored and didn’t feel like doing anything until an idea popped into her head.

Why not broadcast a V-Live? 

Grabbing her phone, she signed in, naming the broadcast, ‘Jammin’ With Smartie’, setting the camera in front of her as she sat on the bed. She made sure the camera showed her entire body while she sat pretzel style.

Immediately viewers began popping in at a rapid rate, surprising her. Guess they really wanted to see her. 

It made her feel good.

“Hey, hey!” she spoke in English, waving as the comments started flowing in

‘JENNIEEEEEEEEE’

‘Ennie! Miss youuuu’

‘Hope you come back to America! We miss you!’

‘Come to London!’

‘QUEEN!’

‘MOM! Finally, we get a V-Live with you!’

Jen started laughing when she read comments from ARMY calling her mom. 

“Mom? That’s new. Ahahaha.”

‘Hi Jennie!’

'Can you speak in Korean?'

"Yeah, I'll go back and forth," she replied in Korean before going back to English.

‘Jen get some rest, it’s late!’

“It’s not that late. I’ll sleep soon. I wanted to see how you all were doing.”

‘Come to Brazil! Brazil loves you!’

“I would love to come to Brazil. It will happen one day!” she guaranteed. “I want to travel more and see more ARMY around the world. Hopefully, we can have a big world tour one day. I definitely want to go to Europe. I always think about Europe when it comes to tours.”

‘Those curls are poppin!’

‘So cuteeeee’

‘I love youuuuu’

“Where are you??’

“Where am I? I’m in my room~!” she responded as she continued to read the various comments. “I was bored so decided to do this and spend some time with y’all.”

‘How are you?’

‘I hope you’re eating well!’

She checked out the number of viewers. “That’s a lot. Over 60,000 already? Sweet. I hope you guys aren’t watching this late at night. Get some shut-eye, it’s good for the soul. And don’t worry, I will be sleeping soon. Yes, I am eating. I’m eating a lot actually. I was kind of stress eating a little bit but I’m fine, now.”

‘Please take care of yourself’

‘Don’t stress!’

‘What did you do today?’

“I’m trying my best. Idol life can be hectic. What did I do today? I hung out with Sam Okyere! I had such a great time with him! He’s mad cool. We ate African food. I never tried it before since I grew up eating Soul Food in my household in America. It’s so good! I'm definitely telling my family to start making African food."

‘Excited for ISAC?’

“Hell yeah, I am. Getting to wrestle and play volleyball? I’m a bit worried about the volleyball. I haven’t played volleyball before so it’ll be interesting to see how I do. But I’ve been practicing and watching YouTube videos for advice. But the wrestling, I’m confident about that.”

‘Can you play the guitar?’

“You want me to play something for you? Sure. For a while now I have been working on a Shawn Mendes song. He’s bae, of course.” she laughed. "I admire Shawn so much. I would love to sing with him one day. Even make a song together. Ah...okay. Let's see...ah, I know. I'll play Stitches for you!" she grabbed her guitar. 

‘Yay!’

‘I love when she spoils us’

'Awwww her bright smile when she spoke about Shawn. I hope they meet!'

‘Yes!’

“I’ve been practicing the song for a while, making sure I get the notes down. I wanted to focus more on the emotion of the song to have a greater impact while singing,” she spoke as she made sure the guitar was tuned up.

As soon as she began the first notes of the song, ARMY noticed a change in her demeanor as she continued to play. They noticed how focused and happy she was when she played the guitar and it looked wholesome to watch.

“I thought that I’ve been hurt before. But no one’s ever left me quite this sore.” she sang softly, strumming along lightly.

‘Her voiceeeee &lt;;3’

‘So, can I ship her with Shawn now?’

‘Getting goosebumps already.’

“Your words cut deeper than a knife. Now I need someone to breathe me back to life.” she continued to sing while her strumming got stronger as she sang out with her voice getting a little louder.

“Got a feeling that I’m going under. But I know that I’ll make it out alive. If I quit calling you my lover. Move on~"

‘Loveeeeee’

‘Stop being my bias wrecker!’

“You watch me bleed until I can’t breathe, shaking. Falling onto my knees. And now that I’m without your kisses. I’ll be needing stitches. Tripping over myself, aching. Begging you to come help. And now that I’m without your kisses. I’ll be needing stitches.”

ARMY noticed that her breath control had improved as she produced a consistent tone while singing smoothly and warmly.

“Needle and the thread gotta get you out of my head. Needle and the thread, gonna wind up dead. Needle and the thread, gotta get you out of my head, get you out of my head. You watch me~!” She stopped strumming and held that note for a few seconds before strumming again, “Bleed until I can’t breathe! I’m shaking falling onto my knees. And now that I’m without your kisses I’ll be needing stitches. I’m tripping over myself. I’m aching begging you to come help. And now that I’m without your kisses, I’ll be needing stitches. And now that I’m without your kisses, I’ll be needing stitches. And now that I’m without your kisses, I’ll be needing stitches.”

She strummed softly for the final note and exhaled. 

“That was fun.” she chuckled lightly and set her guitar down. “How’d I do?” she checked the comments

‘Come thruuuuu sis!’

‘Yassss boo!’

‘Honestly, I’ll be the first to say that I wouldn’t mind Jennie singing me to sleep because her voice is so soothing.’

‘Shawn Mendes needs to see this ASAP!’

‘You did so well!’

‘You make us so proud!’

‘Represent Jennie!’

“Ah...thanks, everyone,” she replied and looked up when she noticed Hobi sticking his head out of her door with a bright smile. “Oh, hey Hobi! Did I wake you?”

“Yeah, I was awakened by a sweet voice. At first, I thought it was Jungkook singing like he usually does in his room but as I walked down the hall, I noticed it was coming from your room. That was you? With the guitar?”

“Uh, yes?” She smiled shyly.

“Whaaaaaa, munchkin, you’re improving.”

“You make me so happy. Thank you.” She pretended to cry, touched by his words.

After her V-Live, she went to sleep while ARMY made various videos of her cover and tried to get Shawn Mendes’ attention on Instagram and Twitter so he could watch her video. 

They knew how much it would mean the world to her if she was able to get noticed by him.

For the past few days, ARMY had tried to get his attention, asking him to watch her cover and to check out her Instagram. They would speak highly of the Bangtan Girl and how much she admired him as an artist.

After remaining persistent and dedicated for Shawn to notice Jennie, they finally reached their goal and began to tag BTS in Shawn’s recent tweet and also tagged Jennie in Shawn’s recent Instagram post.

On Instagram, Shawn reposted a 15-second video of her playing stitches with the caption, ‘Wow, she is amazing! I love this! Who is this girl with the guitar?’

ARMY was quick to flood his comment section, freaking out that he noticed Jennie.

‘Finally you noticed her!’

'AHHHHHHHHHHHH JJennie_JW HE NOTICED YOU!'

'Jennie is about to lose her shit'

'SOMEBODY TAG JENNIE! JJennie_JW'

‘OMG! JJennie_JW look at this!’

‘That’s Jennie! She’s an African American member of the Korean Pop group, BTS. Check them out, they’re great!’

‘Jennie from BTS! She is a former member of Amity! She’s amazing, I’m so happy you noticed her! Her profile is JJennie_JW’

‘I love when my favs recognize each other. This is just made my morning!’

#GirlWithTheGuitar began to trend on Twitter while Shawn’s fans began to also be intrigued by who she was because they were confused as to why ARMY kept commenting about someone named ‘Jennie’ and ‘Miss Bangtan’ on his page.

Meanwhile, with Jennie, she was in Yoongi’s studio with Taehyung. She sat on one of the chairs, spinning around on it.

“Ah, you have a small pimple on your cheek.” Taehyung pointed out and giggled.

“Stop.” She tried to cover it.

“Hehehehe, it’s cute.”

“Stop talking about it.” She groaned.

“Ah, it’s just saying hi.”

“Oh my God, stop talking to it.” She laughed with him.

“I watched your V-Live this morning!”

“Oh, you did? What did you think? Too much? Too little?”

Taehyung smiled. “I loved it! You really like Shawn Mendes, don’t you? You always gush over that guy. Someone has a crush?”

“Ahaha, nah it’s not like that. I just really admire him.”

“So a big crush.”

“No!” she exclaimed as Yoongi walked in and set his bag down.

“Get out Taehyung, we’re about to work.” He called out. 

“Hey! Don’t be so mean.” Jennie scolded the Daegu rapper while Tae frowned. “Tae, don’t make that face. Ugh, see what you do, Yoongi?”

“He’ll live.”

She rolled her eyes. “I’ll hang with you later, Tae. And don’t worry, I will find a way to get you into Cypher.”

Taehyung grinned at her statement, ignoring Yoongi’s protests. After he left, Yoongi and Jen prepared their rap lessons and after a couple of hours, they took a break.

“Smartie, you may want to take a look on Twitter,” he responded, looking up at his phone.

“Something wrong?” she asked, confused, and took out her phone. 

Their notifications were blowing up like usual but something about Shawn Mendes made her stomach drop.

What about Shawn Mendes?

Was he hurt?

Was he coming out with new music?

On BTS’ profile, she realized that one of the members had retweeted his tweet, ‘Jennie, I think your fav noticed you~~ hehehe #V’

Shawn had tweeted a screenshot of her V-Live on the app, ‘BTS_twt This was so good! Wow! Thank you for covering my song &lt;;3’

She let out a scream of excitement and immediately got up from the chair, while Yoongi began laughing at her.

“Holy shi-“ she continued to look at the various screenshots that ARMY had been tagging her in and she realized that he was following her back on Instagram. 

She dropped her phone and ran out that door excitedly as the Daegu rapper’s laughter increased in volume.

His phone buzzed and he looked down to see Namjoon texting him.

Namjoon: I assume Nie Nie realized that Shawn Mendes noticed her and started screaming, running around the building?

Yoongi: As expected

A few minutes later, Jennie ran back into his studio. 

“Got it all out of your system?” she heard the rapper ask with amusement in his voice.

She wiped the tears from her eyes, trying to pull herself together as she picked up her phone. 

“Not all of it!” She responded. “Like you have no idea how big this is! This is crazy!”

She tweeted Shawn back, ‘ShawnMendes OMFG THANK UUUU! I LOVE YOU! You have no idea how much this means to me #Jen’

On her Instagram, she began to film herself for a 15-second video, “G-guys, guys, Shawn Mendes just noticed your girl. He noticed your girl, JW! Miss Bangtan! Jennie! I am on cloud nine~! Come throuuuuuugh! Thank you so much ARMY!”

She posted the video with the caption, ‘IM CRYING! Shawn really just noticed your girl! #Blessed #ThankYouARMY’

“What a kid.” Yoongi chuckled and left to go to the bathroom.

After calming down, she scrolled on Instagram to some of her fan pages that she was happily following and came across a video of The8 from Seventeen talking about her.

He had expressed his interest in meeting her when asked which idols he would like to get closer to. He also mentioned that the other members of Seventeen think she seems like an easygoing person to hang out with, eager to see her at ISAC. 

She has kept her eye on Seventeen for a while, enjoying their music. She’s heard of The8 especially and was aware that Chinese is his first language. She wanted to learn a little more Chinese to be able to speak to him.

Sure, she did not look like anyone’s ideal type around here in Korea with their beauty standards but her personality was more than enough to make her admirable with her kindness and outgoing nature. She always appreciated when other idols spoke highly of her and mentioned that she was doing well in the industry.

Once she liked the video, fans noticed quickly, commenting that she liked the post and hoped that they would meet each other.

“Smartie.”

Jennie looked up to see Yoongi walking in with a familiar face behind him. She widened her eyes and opened her mouth once she caught who was with him.

There stood her sister, Vienna, with an awkward smile on her face. 

“Hey.” she waved.

Standing up, Jennie ran up to her, wrapping her arms around her tightly. “’Enna! What are you doing here!?”

“Rap Monster let me in the building when I reached out,” she responded, pulling away while Yoongi left to give them some privacy. “I uh, came to see you and apologize. And to thank you for what you did for my tuition.”

“The hell? You couldn’t have called?”

She really flew across the country to say Sorry?

“I wanted to see you. Damn, I’m so jetlagged,” the college student exhaled and sat down. “So this is what you go through? Plane after plane? Country after country? City after city? Just to perform? And participate in other activities? Waking up early on top of that? This is...so tiring. Being on that plane for almost a day. Ugh, my acting can’t even compare. I don’t know how you do it, JW.”

Jen let out a chuckle and sat with her. “Tell me about it. My body took months to get used to living in Korea and traveling from place to place for events. I can’t even describe how exhausted my body was when I first started in BTS.”

“I see. Well, you’re still here,” Vienna smiled softly. “Look, I-I’m sorry. For everything. For all those things I said. I was just so frustrated. But there will be plenty of opportunities for me as an actress. Broadway will be in my future real soon. I just know it,"

“Hey, it’s fine. I forgive you. I'm sorry too. I love you. Even if we butt heads at times, nothing will ever change that,”

“Even after all that hurtful stuff, I said?”

“I know you didn’t mean it. Just like I didn't mean the hurtful things I said to you. We're fine."

“I’m lucky to have a little sister like you. I’m really proud of you.”

“And I'm lucky to have a big sister like you. I'm proud of you, too,” she gave her a tight hug and they stayed like that for a while. Pulling away, she asked, “So, shouldn’t you be in class?”

“Shouldn’t you mind your business?” Vienna teased as Jennie rolled her eyes

“So, how long you staying for?”

“Wow, you want to kick me out, already?”

“Well, you really should be in class.”

“You’re joking right?” Vienna stared at her in disbelief.

Jen paused before laughing. “Yeah, I’m joking! Let’s have some fun while you’re here!”

“That’s the Jennie I know.”

“So, does Alani, mom, or dad know about this? That you’re here?”

“Um...not yet.”

“As expected.”

--------

Back at the dorm, the members agreed to have a video game night of playing Super Mario Smash Bros on the Wii U. Jennie sat on the couch with Vienna, Jimin, Taehyung, and Hobi while the rest of the members sat in chairs or on the floor. Jen and Namjoon would occasionally translate to Vienna on what was going on, and the college student was eager to watch the chaos.

Creating a Twitter video, Jen spoke in her Native tongue, “ARMY, we bout to play smash bros. BTS may not be a group anymore after this. Wish us luck because friendships will be lost.”

“Let’s do this thang!” Jimin shouted in English, causing her to laugh as she stopped the video and tweeted, ‘Friendships will be lost...no hard feelings, mkay? #Jen’

For the first match, it was Jennie vs Jimin vs Namjoon vs Jin. They went to the character select menu as the epic video game music continued to play.

“Let me guess, Rosalina & Luma?” Jungkook declared.

“Damn right,” Jen replied and selected them. “I’m at my best when I use them.”

“Ahahaha, for future reference, we may have to kick some people out of Bangtan due to frustrations in this game so let’s try to have a clean and fair fight, all right?” Jin announced.

“We’re choosing the Norfair stage.” Jimin picked.

“NO!” Jen yelled.

“YES!” Namjoon yelled back

“I hate that stage! We just started playing, can we choose a more sane and civilized stage?” Miss Bangtan pleaded

“Nope! Suffer.” Namjoon laughed evilly.

Jennie shook her head in disbelief. “This is so uncharacteristic of you. I am appalled.”

3!

1!

GO!

“Wait! Wait! I wasn’t ready!” Jin yelled as his character, Luigi, began to get punched around by Jimin who giggled hysterically.

Jennie decided to go on a defensive route and stay away from all the fighting until she found an opening, watching the character’s movements.

“No defensive this time, Jen Drop.” Namjoon’s character, Sonic, went right after hers as they began fighting around.

As the game went on, Jimin started laughing when his character, Yoshi, accidentally fell off the map.

“How?!” Taehyung laughed at him with Jungkook.

“It was an accident!” Jimin exclaimed

Meanwhile, Jennie managed to kick Jin off the map to eliminate him until he could respawn again.

Jin frowned. “Why, Jennie? Why would you do this? And stop taunting me, Jimin!” The oldest member yelled over their laughter.

Before they knew it, the giant lava wave began to come up to the screen while Jennie managed to kick Namjoon out of one of the safe areas so she wouldn’t get hit. But suddenly he paused the game

“Hey! We are not doing this, you can’t do that!” she shouted.

“What are you talking about!?” Namjoon shouted back, trying to look innocent.

“Stop pausing the game!” 

“I accidentally pressed pause!”

“Stop lying!”

Namjoon unpaused the game and managed to get into the safe area with her while the lava wave came through. Unfortunately for Jin, he spawned just in time for his character to get hit again, knocking him out of the match again as everyone laughed at him.

“This is how you treat the oldest?” Jin asked.

Near the end of the round, Jennie and Namjoon were the final ones in the match, with Namjoon occasionally trying to find slick ways to cheat by messing with her controller and pausing the game constantly to distract her. The lava wave in the game came once again and he managed to make her character face its wrath, to win the match.

‘GAME! The winner is! Sonic!’

“Looks like I won!” He happily announced

“What is you talkin’ about!?” Jennie yelled. “Friggin cheater!”

Next was Yoongi vs Jungkook vs Taehyung vs Namjoon, who battled each other in the Final Destination stage. After giving her controller to Taehyung, Jen watched as Jungkook used Mario to trash his opponents.

“Can you at least go easy on me!?” Namjoon exclaimed.

“I don’t think that’s happening,” Yoongi replied.

With no surprise, the Golden Maknae won the match and proceeded to take on Hobi, Taehyung, and Jimin this time. Before Jen knew it, it was her turn to play again. She ended up groaning when she watched Jungkook select Ganondorf as his character.

“Why?” She complained. “Why would you do this? I hate playing against him, he’s so damn hard!”

“Exactly why I picked him.” The Golden Maknae smirked, still proud of his winning streak. 

He had won four games straight.

She rolled her eyes and selected the Wuhu Island. As the match began, the players continued to fight around the platforms that were moving occasionally.

“Stop trying to take me out, Kook!” She attempted to evade his attacks before he could take her off the map. “I hate you, he got me struggling over here with this character.”

Unluckily for her, her character fell into the water and sank down, getting taken out as she rolled her eyes.

Hobi, playing as Ryu from Street Fighter, begins to shout, “Hadoken! Hadoken! Hadoken! Hadoken! Hadoken! Ha-“

“Shut up!” Yoongi shouted, causing him to squeal in surprise.

As the match went on, Jungkook caught Jennie with his final smash as she angrily handed the controller to Namjoon. 

“Fuck outta here!” She snapped while Jungkook laughed hysterically.

It was down to Jungkook and Hobi. The members mainly cheered on Hobi because they wanted to see Jungkook lose.

“Did he get him?! He did!” Jimin yelled when Hobi hit Jungkook with the final smash, beating him as everyone cheered.

“You sure you don’t want to play?” Jen asked Vienna.

“Why not?” She took Jungkook’s controller after Jen told him to give it to her. ”I don’t know how to play, though.”

After Jen told her the basic moves, Vienna chose Kirby to go up against Yoongi, Hobi, and Taehyung. They battled at Hyrule Castle 64 as the main theme of The Legend of Zelda played.

“W-wait stop falling off the edge of the map. Jump up! ” Jen laughed and tried to coach her sister. 

After a few moments, she continued to get the hang of it, taking out Yoongi’s Pikachu character.

“What? That connected?” Vienna asked, bewildered.

“You knocked him out of the map but the battle isn’t over yet, keep fighting.” Jen encouraged.

“That’s some disrespect, right there,” Vienna complained when her character was taken out the map by Taehyung.

“Ah, fuck this game!” Yoongi rage quit and handed the controller to Jin instead so he could take over. He got frustrated when he kept getting beaten down by everyone.

“Really, hyung?” Jimin giggled.

“He’s just a little upset.” Namjoon teased.

When Vienna suddenly realized that she won the game, beating Taehyung, she responded in shock, “Wait, I won?!”

“Good job!” Taehyung happily said, placing his hand out for her to high five him, while the rest of the members applauded her efforts.

“Thank you! Good game!” She beamed and turned to Jennie. “That was fun! You’re in good hands here. I like their vibe, up close and personal. It’s like you’re not away from family.”

Jen returned her smile and nodded. “Thanks, Vee. I agree.”

“All right, let’s play teams now,” Jimin announced.

“I call Jungkook.” Jennie declared, high fiving the Golden Maknae.

“NO!” Namjoon and Jimin shout.

“Noooooooooo~!” Taehyung and Hobi complained

“Absolutely not.” Jin shook his head

“Hell no,” Yoongi added.

“And why not?” Jungkook asked with irritation while Jennie scowled at the members’ disapproval of her choice of partner.

“No JenKook for this because you always win together. Change it up.” Namjoon demanded which caused the 97 Liners to look displeased by their demands.

“I call Jennie!” Taehyung shouted and clung to her.

“What...?” Jungkook frowned, narrowing his eyes at the 95 Liner. “How come he gets to-“

“And I call Jungkook~!” Jimin hugged him as Jungkook let out an exasperated sigh. 

Jen shot Jungkook an apologetic smile and prepared to play.

Jennie and Taehyung battle against Jin and Namjoon, easily getting a win when Jen took out both of her opponents with Rosalina & Luma’s final smash.

“No! No!” Jin complained

“OP! That is OP! So overpowered!” Namjoon shouted.

Miss Bangtan danced in victory with Tae, ignoring their protests, “Hey! Hey! Hey!”

As an hour went by, Jimin spoke, “I want to see Jungkook and Jennie battle each other.” 

His idea made the 97 Liners' interest rise as they glanced at each other.

“I’m down, are you?” Jen asked.

“Bring it on.” The Golden Maknae responded.

Jennie chose the same character while Jungkook chose Shulk. For their first battle, they chose the Gaur Plain stage as the theme played.

3!

1!

GO!

As soon as the fight began, Jennie and Jungkook clashed, trying to get as many hits as possible while avoiding falling off the map. Jungkook managed to juggle Jennie up in the air with perfectly timed strikes before blasting her off the map. A confident smirk came across his lips as he waited for her character to respawn.

Jennie kept calm, making sure to keep a cool head while fighting back. Her heart began to race faster as they continued to play, aiming to win. The members watched them game keenly, with no words spoken as they watched them back and forth.

Jungkook managed to knock her off the map to win the game as she roughly ran a hand over her face.

Frustration was clear on her face for a moment before she got calm again. They played again, picking the same stage. Jen glanced at the top of the screen to see and hear, Mechanical Rhythm, playing in the background for the stage, setting the mood for a more aggressive gameplay

“And she’s getting mad.” Jungkook teased, trying to get under her skin.

Jennie decided to ignore him and remained focused. 

All that was heard was the rapid button mashing and battle cries of their characters. Once she began to continuously strike his character off the map, the Golden Maknae began to become vigilant of the direction of the battle.

'She got this,' Vienna thought as she watched her sister focus.

"See ya!" Jen lightly said once she swiftly got behind his character and kicked him straight to the sky for a finishing blow.

"Shit!" Jungkook shouted.

‘GAME!’

“YES!” she shouted, standing up and fist pumped.

“AHHHHHHHHH!” the members yelled, jumping up and down while Vienna grinned and applauded.

The winner is, Rosalina & Luma!

The Golden Maknae was visibly disappointed by his loss, remaining silent while everyone celebrated her victory.

“Final round! Who will win?” Jin laughed

“That was just luck. I let you win.” Jungkook responded.

“We’ll see about that in the final round,” Jen replied.

For the final round, they fought furiously, both equally matched. Once they saw the smash ball spawn, they aimed to hit it. She managed to destroy the smash ball just before him and caught him in Rosalina’s final smash. She watched as Luma expanded bigger and started to repeatedly attack Jungkook’s character, boosting up his percentage rate and then he was blasted out of the map

GAME!

“WOO!” She jumped up.

“OH MAH GOD!” Jimin yelled while the rest of the members started yelling and jumping up and down with her

“She beat Jungkook!” Jin celebrated

Jungkook placed his controller down and huffed, displeased at his loss while some of the members teased him by shaking him while laughing at him. 

Jennie took a seat right next to him on the carpet with her phone in her hand. She took a victory selfie with a bright smile on her face with an annoyed Jungkook in the background. 

She tweeted, ‘#Bodied’

Standing up, Jungkook grabbed a pillow and tossed it across the room before going straight to his room while everyone continued laughing

“Ahahahahaha! Yooooooo! He tossed the pillow!” Vienna cackled. “He’s so mad.”

After another hour of gaming, everyone decided to head off to bed. Jennie let Vienna sleep in her bed while she took a visit to Jungkook’s room, wondering if he was still upset that he lost. She’d be feeling the same way since they both enjoy winning.

Who doesn’t like to win?

Shutting his door after walking inside, she saw him sulking while playing on his phone. He was still feeling bitter about the loss.

“So, we not friends, now?” she teased and took a seat on his bed. 

Instead of replying, he ignored her and placed the covers over himself.

“I hope you know that won’t get rid of me.” she grabbed his covers and got in the bed with him, facing his back. He sighed and tried to move away but she moved against him, hugging him from behind. “We still not friends?”

Ignored again.

She suddenly pressed her soft lips to his cheek, taking him by surprise. 

“How about now?” she asked but didn't get a response. 

The Golden Maknae felt his cheeks warm up but he continued to be stubborn while pondering if she’d kiss him, again. Seconds later, he felt those lips against his cheek repeatedly.

“Now?” She asked again.

Kiss.

“Now?”

Kiss.

“How about now?”

Kiss.

“Now?”

Kiss.

“Now?”

Kiss.

“What about now?”

Kiss.

“How about now?”

Kiss.

“Now?”

It was getting harder to ignore her as he was greeted by her kisses all over his face. He was losing the battle in fighting the big grin appearing on his face.

“I see that smile! Now answer, we still friends?” she spoke and he tried to ignore her again. “I’ll stay here all night if I have to. I guess I have to be the big spoon, so be it. So, we still not friends? I know you hear me.”

She laughed, snuggling up against him tightly as he started forgetting about his anger from losing the game.

Jungkook sighed and turned around, wrapping an arm around her to bring her to his chest. 

“I can’t stay mad at you...” He grumbled.

“Good. Now good night.” She snuggled against him.

“Y-you’re staying?”

“And having to deal with Vienna’s wild sleeping? I think not. Besides I like sleeping with you. You’re so warm and comfortable. Like a friggin human heater. Unless you want me to leave-“

“Stay, please,”

The next morning, Jungkook woke up with Jennie sleeping on his chest. He briefly watched her sleep and smiled. He pondered what it’d be like to wake up to this every day if they were a couple. Good morning kisses were guaranteed as well as him trying to make her stay in bed with him.

Gently moving her, he got out of bed and placed the covers on her. Stretching his arms, he headed out of the room, noticing that Jin already made breakfast because of the smell of food. Saying their good mornings, Jungkook grabbed a plate and took it back to his room, placing it on his nightstand for Jen to eat.

When he went back into the kitchen, he noticed Vienna sitting by the table, eating with Jin while trying to speak English with him.

Vienna noticed Jungkook and smiled warmly. 

“Hey. Morning.” she greeted while Jin went to make plates for the members when they woke up.

“Good morning!” Jungkook greeted while smiling shyly.

She typed something in her phone and slid it to him. He looked at it and it read, ‘Sorry for the language barrier. I don’t know Korean but found this app to help translate. I’ll cut right to the chase. There’s been a question I’ve been wanting to ask you since I met you. You like my sister, don’t you?’

He looked up, surprised, and averted his eyes, looking shy. 

That immediately gave her an answer.

She chuckled and typed something else on her phone before sliding it back to him.

‘I’m not angry. I’m happy. I love my sister and I would do anything for her. And watching you...I see that your feelings are genuine and that you deeply care for her. You’ll make a cute couple. You have my full support. :)’

He read and looked up, nodding. “Th-thank you.” He responded softly.

“You’re welcome,” she replied and went back to eating.

After breakfast, Jennie and Vienna hang out in Seoul to bond. When they were shopping at a local store, Jen had found an emoji head and tried it on. 

Vienna thought it was funny and took a photo, posting it on her Instagram with the caption, ‘My heart &lt;;3’

Not long after, Alani facetimed Vienna. “Oh gosh, I guess she saw the post.” Vienna laughed and accepted the call. 

The screen revealed Alani shaking her head while Jennie popped up next to Vienna, waving.

“Yo, I hate y’all...skipping class, Vienna? Leaving ME to present our project!?” Alani yelled. “Ima kill you when you come back! Are you kidding me!?”

“Wait you left Alani with your project?” Jen exclaimed

“Well...I mean...I did my part.” Vienna grinned sheepishly

“Yes, this girl left me to present alone!” Alani yelled angrily.

“It’s good practice for what you want to do.” Vienna shrugged. “Don’t be a snitch and tell mom or dad. I’ll be home soon.”

“I cannot believe you! I could’ve gone with you!”

Jen was surprised by her statement while Vienna laughed. “That wasn’t what I was expecting.” 

"Hey! I can be rebellious, too!" Alani exclaimed. 

------

Later that day, an African American female college student hung around Dunkin Donuts, filming a vlog for her YouTube channel. She was with two of her American friends, a guy and another girl, who sipped on their coffee, eating breakfast sandwiches.

“Hey guys, we are back with another video. It is day 3 of us being in Seoul, and we’re here eating Dunkin Donuts. Say hi!” she panned the camera to her friends and they rambled about their excitement for their upcoming semester of studying abroad.

While her friends were talking, she turned to do more people watching but froze when she noticed Jennie.

“Wait a minute is that-oh my God, guys, I think that’s Jennie from BTS.,” she said quickly with a whisper. She panned her camera to Miss Bangtan and Vienna who were waiting for their order. “What the heck is she doing here!?”

Her two friends widened their eyes and covered their mouths. 

“Holy sh-no way is that really her?” her female friend exclaimed as their hearts started racing.

“Guys, we are in the same building as Miss Bangtan, how great is this?” her guy friend responded.

“Should we say hi?” the Youtuber pondered.

“No! We should be respectful.” Her female friend disapproved.

“And miss an opportunity to say hey to our favorite K-pop idol? Hell no, I want to say hi. We’re not screaming in her face or anything.” her male friend said.

“I dunno...should we?” the Youtuber wondered.

“We should do it.”

“Won’t it be rude?”

“Yelling and screaming in excitement in her face is. But as long as we’re not too crazy, I honestly don’t see what the problem is with approaching your favorite idol.”

“Jennie looks so mad though, should we approach her?” the female friend added.

“Remember that Jen always says that she has a resting bitch face?” the Youtuber brought up.

“True...”

The Youtuber handed her friends the camera and she got out of her seat, making her way to Jennie. Butterflies were in her stomach as she inched closer to her idol. She even went over what she planned to say in her head.

When the Youtuber watched Jennie and Vienna turn around, she froze as she locked eyes with Miss Bangtan. 

“Um-I uh, annyeongh-hello-haseyo-um-i uh-hi.” She stuttered, trying to say hello.

“Hi.” Jennie let out a chuckle. “You good, girl?”

“I can’t even speak, right now. If I can’t even speak in my own language, what makes me think I can speak in Korean?” the fan sighed. “I’m sorry, I just wanted to say hi, I can’t believe you are in front of me. I’m trying to create a Vlog for YouTube and then you showed up, throwing me off guard with your beauty and I’m just embarrassing myself in front of you.”

“Awww thank you! You don’t have to be so nervous. You’re fine! I encourage fans to say hi!” Jen reassured while the girl’s two friends appeared next to her, nervously saying hi. “How are you guys? You eat this morning?”

“Yes, we did. We’re college students. Studying abroad.”

“Wow, really? When did you come to Korea?” 

“A few days before to know our surroundings until it’s time for the Fall semester to start.”

“Wow, enjoy it to the fullest. I always hear that some people want to get closer to their favorite K-Pop idols and all while being here but still take time to learn the culture and go sightseeing. Learn the history and even more of the language. It’s a beautiful place and South Korea isn’t just about K-Pop, you feel me?”

“Definitely. You inspired me to study abroad here. I was always nervous to step out of my comfort zone and go to another country. But when you did it, especially at a young age, away from family, it motivated me. This is my second time studying abroad. I went to Spain last summer. I’m glad I did it, I’m learning a lot about myself and trying new things. Now I’m a senior in college, here in Seoul.”

“Wow, that means so much to me. It’s good to get out there, you will learn a lot. I always think it’s fascinating to learn about other cultures. Especially the food, that’s always a plus. Do you know some Korean?”

“Only the basics.” the YouTuber’s female friend responded while their guy friend agreed.

“I’m at an intermediate level but I’m so nervous to be in front of you, I couldn’t show you my Korean skills or even speak in proper English.” the Youtuber responded which made Jennie laugh at the way she said her statement.

“We managed to grab seats for ISAC, too!” the male friend beamed

“No way, for real? That’s dope. Make sure you cheer on Bangtan.”

After she took photos with the three students and did a quick shoutout when being filmed for the vlog, Jennie offered them some of her munchkins and wrote encouraging messages on their notebooks with an autograph.

‘Don’t stay in your dorm during your semester. Go out, take the train and travel around South Korea!’

‘This is a great experience to learn more about yourself and another country’s culture. Enjoy every second of it and have a blast.‘

‘Cherish the people you meet along your journey here in Seoul. Learn something new while you are here.’

-----

Just before the ISAC event, Big Hit released a Bangtan Bomb called, ‘Training Smartie for ISAC 2015’

The video contained multiple clips of the members overexaggerating and eagerly yelling words of encouragement while training her.

As she lifted weights, the members would yell encouraging words such as, “Let’s go smartie!”, “Let’s go! Feel the power!”, “Believe in the power!” and she managed not to laugh at their yells as they jumped up and down.

For a bonus clip, Jennie was seated at the table with Suga and Jungkook next to her. She began eating a big plate of Lamb Skewers while Suga and Jungkook cheered her on.

“Eat!”

“You got this! You got this!”

“Chew it well!”

“You must eat well for wrestling!”

--------

On the day of the event, Bangtan arrived, already in their assigned outfits while Vienna walked with Jennie.

“I don’t know what the hell is going on. What are they saying? And why do they keep staring? It’s starting to piss me off-excuse me don’t touch my hair!” Vienna exclaimed.

Jennie cringed and pulled her away. She turned to one of the staff members and bowed slightly. 

“Please don’t touch our hair without our permission. It’s rude, all right?” she responded in Korean.

“Is that your real hair?” the staff member asked.

“Yes. It is our natural, real hair,” she responded as they looked amazed and confused.

As the two sisters walked away, Vienna mentioned, “I don’t want no one looking at me cross-eyed. It’s rude to stare.”

“I mean...you’ll get used to it. It can be annoying,"

Around 300 idols made of ten teams were participating today and it was packed with various fandoms supporting their favorite groups. Once Jennie escorted Vienna to sit with the Big Hit staff on the seats, she waited for the event to start.

She stood with Bangtan backstage, waiting for their team to be called out so they could walk out.

“Now the players are entering.” The commentators announced.

“Team Female-vengers: Kara, Rainbow, Dal shabet, EXID, Minx, GFriend.” was the second team announced.

“Ah, Hayoon~.” Jennie beamed when she saw her happily walk out with G-Friend.

“How you feeling?” Rapmon stood next to her.

“Nervous but excited too. I really hope I do well in these two games. Wrestling and volleyball? I trained as hard as I could for this. I have a great feeling about this ISAC.”

“You’ll make Bangtan proud no matter what happens. Just keep a cool head and remember what we told you.”

“Ditto.”

“Team Who’s your boss: Noel, Wonder Girls, Jeong Jinwoon, Changmin, Lee Hyun, MissA, Baek A-yeon, BTS, Bestie, GOT7.” was announced next as they walked out. 

BTS walked out with big smiles on their faces, while Jennie looked on amazed at how many people showed up this time.

On the electronic display, it showed various idols. When it showed Jennie, who wasn’t aware that she was shown at first, ARMY screamed loud and proud. Jin nudged her and pointed up at the screen. She looked up and widened her eyes, chuckling before waving.

The fact that she was on the same team as Wonder Girls was astounding and she was even on a volleyball team with two of the members. It’ll be a great experience.

After saying the oath, the event started with Women’s Ssireum. There were teams consisting of three members and they played the best out of three. The time of play is one minute and 30 seconds. Jennie was teamed up with Baek A-Yeon and Haeryung from Bestie. They were stretching together and talking strategy.

For the preliminaries, Kyoungri from Nine Muses went up against Hyerin from EXID for the first match. Jennie was standing around with Bangtan, focused as she watched them closely.

“Breathe,” Namjoon said encouragingly behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. “Don’t be discouraged. They’re not ready for Miss Bangtan.”

“Thanks.” she smiled and they took a seat.

Jungkook sat next to her as they watched closely at the two wrestling. Hyerin had attacked by effortlessly using her feet to trip Kyoungri down in 2.06 seconds.

“You see how she goes for the legs?” Jungkook pointed out. “She aims to trip her opponents. Watch your feet if you go up against her.”

“All right,” she responded.

“Do all that you can to stay on your feet. When you see an opening go for the takedown,”

Throughout the entire round of Nine Muses and EXID, Jungkook pointed some stuff out to pay attention to, mentioning strategies on how to take on the girls. Fansites that attended ISAC, filmed the BTS members and updated their Twitter accounts on what was going on. Once they snapped a photo of JenKook watching closely, with Jungkook whispering strategy in her ear, they tweeted the photos with the caption, ‘Mentor and student. JenKook look focused!’

Fans would immediately tweet,

‘97Liners, I ship!'

'If he whispered in my ear, I would’ve DIED! How can she just sit there so calm?'

'Jungkook is such a great mentor!'

'There is no way she was that calm when you have the golden Maknae whispering in your ear’

'He was probably giving her advice on the wrestling. Y'all thirsty! It ain’t that deep!’

Matches such as Girl's Day vs AOA, Apink vs Red Velvet, Tara vs Secret, and Mamamoo vs Sistar occurred until it was time for Jen’s team to go up against G-Friend. AOA, APink, T-ara, Nine Muses and Mamamoo all advanced to the semi round and it was down to either G-Friend or Bestie/Baek A-Yeon & Jennie. Umji, Eunha, and Yerin represented G-Friend in this match.

“First we have the plucky Miss Bangtan representing BTS and is teaming up with Baek A-Yeon and Haeryung. Last year, she had a running relay and fell down.” the commentators recapped, showing her falling on the screen.

The sight of her falling, caused Jen to roll her eyes, seeming irritated at the sight. They were doing her dirty because she fell. It was over and done with. 

“They really bringing up this crap again?” she grumbled under her breath, shaking her head.

She stepped up on the platform while Yerin waited for her with a bright smile since they were great friends. The two winked at each other before giggling.

“Go, Jennie! Go, Yerin!” Hayoon, along with the other G-Friend members cheered. 

Jen exhaled and glanced at Jungkook who gave her a reassuring smile.

“You got this. Remember what I told you,” he mouthed and she responded with a curt nod and turned back to Yerin.

The two of them bowed to each other and positioned themselves while kneeling.

“JENNNIEEEEEEEEEEE~!” Jimin yelled with Taehyung, applauding.

“Munchkin! Munchkin! Munchkin!” Hobi chanted while Rapmon and Suga laughed with one another, feeling second-hand embarrassment.

“Miss Bangtan has quite the fanboys, it seems. Who will win? Jennie or Yerin?” the announcers wondered.

Once the whistle blew, Jennie immediately used her strength to lift Yerin high in the air and slammed her down on the mat. 

Jungkook slapped his hands together and stood up with a big grin on his face, fist pumping.

“Yes!” he yelled.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHH~!” Bangtan jumped up, applauding her victory while ARMY and the rest of Bangtan supporters began screaming for her.

Yerin started laughing, covering her face while Jennie helped her up. 

“You all right, sis?” she hugged her.

“Yes, I’m fine. You’re so strong.” Yerin giggled.

“Wow! That power!” the commentators exclaimed as they went to a slow-motion replay. “The strength of Miss Bangtan should not be underestimated!”

“Winner! BTS’ Jennie!” was announced as male idols watched the performance, surprised and mesmerized. 

Some were whispering to themselves about her and smirking in approval.

“Atta girl!” Zico from Block B, shouted, cheering her on with the rest of the Block B members.

GOT7 also became her cheerleaders as Bam Bam stared at her with heart eyes, placing a hand over her heart. 

“I think I’m in love,” Bam Bam mentioned to Jackson, who cackled at him, slapping his arm.

As the fansites filmed videos and posted it on their social media, as fans commented,

‘Some of the boys look pleased’

'So who is gonna be the next idol to speak on how much they admire Jen? Cause some of them are staring hard af and I'm here for it'

‘Hahaha some of the guys look like they wanna marry her’

‘Bam Bam watching with that pleased look on his face, ahahah.’

‘Sexy, beautiful and powerful! Go gurl!

‘She FLEW HER DOWN! DAMN’

‘The girls’ faces hahaha they look so scared to face her now’

‘Look at her face in the beginning! She looked like, “Oh shit, I’m dead.’

‘I’m ready to see Jennie at Wrestlemania now.’

‘She took that so seriously ahaha.’

‘Can Jennie throw me like that too!?’

‘Force to be reckoned with! She didn’t come to play! She definitely redeemed herself from last time.’

‘How did she get so strong!? OMG Jungkook what have you been teaching her!?’

‘Flipped her like pancakes. Didn’t even last two seconds!’

‘She-she just picked her up and slammed her down in 2.0 seconds!’

‘I blinked and Yerin was on the mat. What happened!?’

‘I love how the guys are smiling so hard.’

‘That Captain America strength right there! Miss Bangtan 100%! Represent us!’

Jennie was smiling brightly at the cheers and applauds for her efforts as she bowed and waved. 

After leaving the mat, Hayoon ran up to her to hug her. “That was amazing!” she said and started giving her repeated kisses on her cheek.

After speaking with G-Friend, Jennie went back to Bangtan who had given her high fives and compliments such as, “Well done.” And “You’ve worked hard.”

“You did it!” Jungkook high fived her and pulled her to his chest for a warm hug.

“We did it.” she corrected him as she wrapped her arms around his back. The rest of the members joined in for a group hug before sitting back down to watch the rest of her team wrestle.

She cheered on Baek A-Yeon as she went up against Umji and managed to slam her down on the mat to make her team advance to the semi-round. 

“Yeah!” Jennie jumped up and ran up to Baek A-Yeon with Haeryung to celebrate their advancement.

As the last round started, Jennie sat back down with Taehyung wrapping his arms around her from behind, sitting behind her. Jimin sat in front of her, laying his back between her legs while Jungkook hugged Taehyung from behind.

They watched as Baek A-Yeon went up against Sung-a from Nine Muses and lost the match when she was slammed down. 

Jennie stood up and walked to the mat, preparing to wrestle Sojin. They bowed to each other and got in position.

As soon as the whistle blew, Sojin tried to catch her off guard by going after her legs but Jennie stood her ground and lifted her up to slam her down within five seconds.

“Sorry.” Jennie grinned and helped her up while Sojin reassured her that she was fine.

The fansites had filmed Jungkook smiling proudly and in the end, Jen’s team had won a Bronze medal for their efforts when Haeryung fell short against her opponent. After they received their bronze medals, Haeryung began to cry. 

“Wait, why are you crying?” Jennie went to console her with Baek A-Yeon.

“I let the team down. I’m sorry,” she responded, sadly.

“Hey, you did not let us down. We tried our best and we had fun. Thank you for your hard work. You’ve done well, girl. Don't even worry about it.” she reassured her, wiping her tears as the fansites filmed their conversation.

The three ladies join in for a group hug, thanking each other for a job well done for wrestling.

When the interaction was posted on Twitter, people praised Jennie's kindness and sportsmanship.

While soccer began, Jennie chilled with Bangtan, taking out her bun. Before she prepared to fix it, Taehyung grabbed her hair tie and got behind her, fixing her bun for her. She was surprised at how delicate he was to not hurt her. He placed her hair in a high bun and got in front of her to place a strand of curls on each side. Once he was done, he patted her head and smiled.

She took out her phone and checked it out. “This looks really good, Tae.”

Wandering around after catching up with some idol friends, Jennie decided to finally approach The8, greeting him in Chinese. 

“I only know a little bit of Chinese but I will try to learn more so there can be less of a language barrier between us.” her Chinese was broken but he smiled at her efforts and managed to understand her clearly.

‘Wow...handsome.” he responded in English which caused her to chuckle

“Beautiful.” she corrected.

“Sorry, sorry.” he bowed, feeling embarrassed.

“It’s all right. Can you recommend me some Chinese dishes I should try? I love Chinese food.” 

“Yes, of course!” he started naming some of his favorite dishes. 

As they spoke, Joshua approached them and greeted them.

“Hey! Great job on the wrestling.” Joshua said in English.

“Oh, thank you! I had a blast. You’re Joshua, right?”

“Yeah, it’s nice to finally meet Miss Bangtan. I’m actually from Los Angeles.”

“Ah, west coast. I’m from the east. East side is better just so you know.” she teased and they shared a laugh. “The both of you two are so cute.” she pointed at the both of them.

“You’re cute, too. The8 is really fond of you. He always talks about how kind and hardworking you are.” he gestured while The8 was looking at them back and forth, confused since they were speaking in English.

“I saw the video. It always gives me a giddy feeling when people tell me that. It makes me feel really good. Hey, can I have your Kakao Talk?”

“Yeah, of course.” he took out his phone

“I want your Kakao Talk too, The8.” she gestured to him and he took out his phone. 

After getting each other's Kakao Talk, Jennie continued to bring The8 into their conversation.

“Joshua also plays the guitar. We saw your V-Live. You were great.” The8 smiled.

“Really? Thank you! Oh gosh, I feel so embarrassed, I didn’t think some idols would watch it too.” she responded.

As she continued to wander around, she even met Yeeun from CLC, remembering that Yeeun was eager to meet her. They compared their classes for the upcoming school year and noticed that they’ll be sharing a few classes together. They will definitely have more time to hang out and get to know each other.

Throughout the event, Hayoon would cling to Jennie, hugging her from behind, while she laughed.

“Why are you affectionate, today? You must want something.” she assumed, since last time she wanted some of her smarties.

“No, I’m just happy to see you. I haven’t seen you in a while.” Hayoon replied.

While she was being hugged, Jennie would look around at the crowd and noticed fans wearing USA clothing and waving American flags to represent her. She smiled and pointed them out, feeling even more good about herself. She even spotted Vienna in the crowd and waved, blowing kisses.

“LOVE YOU!” Vienna shouted from her seat. The college student noticed some ARMY trying to get her attention. “I don’t speak Korean but it looks like you want to take a selfie, so sure.” she gestured for them to give her their phones.

Jennie and Jimin migrated to the basketball court to support Suga who was currently warming up for the basketball finals match. Jimin and Jennie were standing where the staff seats were while she took photos on her phone.

“Suga got this in the bag. He should be fine.” Jennie said.

“Yes!” Jimin praised when they watched Suga make a shot in the basket while practicing.

When the game started, Jennie and Jimin became cheerleaders for the Daegu rapper.

“MIN YOONGI~!” Jimin shouted. “Lee Changmin! Jung Jinwoon! Lee Hyun-hyungnim!”

“WOO HOOOOOOOOO! YEAH!” Jennie shouted. “YOU GOT THIS FAM! I SEE YOU BOO, I SEE YOU!”

Suga had put his head down, while his teammates started laughing at their enthusiasm for their groupmate.

Due to their heated cheers, Jimin and Jennie sat on the sidelines to watch the game. Every time Suga’s team made a shot, Jimin and Jennie would jump up from their seats and cheer.

“That’s my Suga!” Jennie shouted proudly, happily applauding. “I am a proud little sister!”

“Yoon! Gi! Yoon! Gi! Yoon! Gi! Yoon! Gi!” Jennie and Jimin chanted as the game progressed.

Yoongi’s team ended up winning and earning gold medals.

Before Jennie knew it, it was time for Volleyball as she stood backstage with the stylists, preparing her outfit. She wore a long sleeve shirt and black shorts with knee pads. When Jennie put on the shorts, she noticed they were a bit too small.

“Ah...I told you to get a bigger size. My ass is bigger than you Korean women. And I have wider hips.” she exclaimed while the stylists giggled.

“We came prepared, don’t worry.” 

They brought in a backup pair which fit much better. She checked out her outfit in the mirror and turned around to look at her behind. 

“All right, it’s covering up everything. Ah, I’m freaking out.” Jennie rambled.

When she was all dressed up, she walked to the gym, where the volleyball court was already put up. She gathered around the members as they helped prepare her.

“Ready, sweetie?” Jin smiled.

“A little nervous.”

“You’ll be just fine.” Yoongi patted her on the back

Taehyung gave her water while Jimin began massaging her shoulders to help her relax.

“I have the tape.” Namjoon brought up and grabbed one of her hands while Hobi grabbed her other hand to start taping her fingers.

“Remember, be careful, spike some balls and win.” Jungkook reminded her. “Use your golden defense skills.”

“I’ll be sure to do that and more.” she nodded.

Hobi cupped her face, pressing his lips to her forehead. He smiled softly, “You got this, Jennie! Show those ladies why Bangtan is great!”

She nodded and started to grin, high fiving each member before walking up to the court to meet with her teammates.

Representing Team Who’s The Boss, Jennie teamed with Baek A-Yeon, Hyelim & Yubin from Wonder Girls and Min and Suzy from Miss A. Their opponents were from Team the Return of The King which consisted of Hyuna & Gayoon from 4Minute, Yeeun & Seunghee from CLC, and Hayoung and Naeyun from APink.

“Here we are! This is the first time we are having a volleyball event at ISAC. Miss Bangtan will be starting to serve, representing Team Who’s the Boss.” The commentators mentioned over the roaring cheers of the audience.

Jennie exhaled sharply, as her heart raced while having the ball in her hands. 

‘I can do this...’ she gave herself words of encouragement. 

Just before she could serve, she heard loud screaming.

“JENNNNNNNNNNIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEE~! You Got this!! Goooooooo

Jennnnnnnniiiieeeeeeeee~!”

The screaming caught her by surprise and she turned around sharply to see Jimin, J-Hope, and Yoongi hollering for her. Rap Monster had facepalmed, shaking his head while Jin and Jungkook were giggling, clapping to themselves.

Her teammates began giggling at her enthusiastic group members and thought it was cute that they were cheering her on. 

Jennie had let out a loud laugh and blew some kisses at Bangtan before turning back to her opponents.

“GO JENNIE!” another scream caught her by surprise but this time it was actually from Hayoon who was standing on the sidelines with the rest of GFriend, cheering her on. 

She had shyly looked down after screaming so loudly but Jennie had appreciated her cheers.

‘Okay...let’s do this.’ she began bouncing the volleyball by slapping it with her palm as it hit the ground then back to her palm, numerous times. 

The loud sound began to intimidate her opponents as they tried to get ready.

Raising the ball in the air, she jumped up high for a powerful spike. The ball ended up hitting the ground on the other side before the opposing team could hit it and Jennie earned a point for her team. Loud screams from ARMY were heard around the arena while some watched, stunned at the spike.

“YES! That is my child! I raised her! That is my beautiful little girl!” Jin yelled happily.

“WOOOOOOO! ATTA GIRL!” Namjoon shouted. 

A proud smile came across Jungkook’s lips as he nodded in approval, applauding her efforts. 'That's my Jennie,' he thought proudly.

“Whaaaaaaa, what a powerful strike from Jennie of BTS! Wow!” the commentators went on.

She was surprised as her teammates went to hug her. “I can’t believe I got that.” she started laughing while Yubin and Hyelim smiled sweetly, patting her on the back.

The game progressed with Bangtan watching closely as they saw the concentration in her eyes. They admired her efforts because she truly had worked hard. Jen soared with her defensive skills as she effortlessly blocked the ball, which caused some of her opponents to get annoyed that they couldn’t get a point.

“Ah, Jennie, stop blocking my spikes!” Hyuna whined.

“Not sorry.” Jennie replied with a grin.

“Are you seeing this!? Are you seeing this!?” Taehyung grabbed onto Jimin and started shaking him. “She keeps blocking the ball! They’re gonna win!”

“WOOOOO! Go, Jen!” Jackson, Bam Bam and Mark became some of her hypemen throughout the match.

Jen’s forearms began to sting from the constant hitting of the ball as the game went on. Her team was well in the lead, thanks to Yubin and Suzy soaring in setting the ball for their teammates to spike, Hyelim being great at passing the ball to her teammates and Baek A-Yeon specializing in spiking with Min. Jennie had made sure to jump up and throw her hands up to block the ball whenever she could with her teammates, which helped tremendously in the game.

"Miss Bangtan's defense is dangerous," the commentators pointed out at how effortless she made blocking for her team.

Once Hayoung served the ball, Hyelim managed to hit the ball, passing it to Suzy who managed to hit the ball over the net. Yeeun dove down, hitting the ball as she connected with the floor while Gayoon passed the ball to Naeyun. Naeyun spiked the ball and Min hit the ball back. Yubin and Baek A-Yeon watched it fly near them and Baek A-Yeon managed to set the ball. 

“All yours, Jennie!” she gestured as Miss Bangtan jumped up and spiked the ball across the court.

Once they saw that the ball hit the floor before their opponents could hit it, they happily yelled in excitement.

“YES!” Jen screamed and fist pumped over the loud cheers and screams from the crowd. 

She started jumping up and down while her teammates threw themselves at her, and they all fell to the floor while hugging. When they got back on their feet, they celebrated all around the arena while Jen did aerial cartwheels around the arena in celebration.

Bangtan started laughing wholeheartedly that she still had the energy to jump and cartwheel around. They immediately ran down to the volleyball court to celebrate with her. J-Hope picked her up over his shoulders and ran around with Bangtan as they all cheered and celebrated. 

"Jennie! Jennie! Jennie!" The boys chanted.

The volleyball team received gold medals for their efforts. When the team was interviewed, Jennie thanked her teammates for working so hard to be victorious and praised them for their hard work. She had a blast with them and hopes volleyball continues to be an event in ISAC.

Meanwhile, Bam Bam had been watching her, smitten by her athleticism in the volleyball game. After some pep talk from Jackson, he finally decided to approach her, bringing a water and towel for her to wipe her sweaty face.

“Have you played volleyball, before?” he asked.

“I kid you not, this was my first actual game.”

“Wow, well you need to teach me some time because you were amazing out there.”

With the Maknae Line, Jimin was on alert when he noticed that Bam Bam was starting to flirt with her as she had covered her mouth while giggling and shyly averting her eyes. Once he nudged Taehyung and Jungkook to point out what was going on, Jungkook shot Bam Bam a sharp stare.

“All right, relax, he still has a dating ban so we should be okay,” Taehyung reassured.

“I hope so,” Jungkook grumbled.

Going backstage, Jen had Namjoon snap a photo of herself with her arms outstretched and a proud smile on her face. 

She tweets, ‘I came, I slayed, I conquered. Getting 1st place at ISAC feels so good. We winning! Yay us! #BlackGirlMagic #DidntTripThisTime #JEN’

For the final event, which was the final of Men's 400m relay, Jennie approached Jungkook from behind, placing a hand on his shoulder while smiling. “You ready?”

“I hope so. I really want to win.” he tilted his head to the side.

“You’ll do well. I’ll be waiting for you at the finish line, Golden Maknae,” she reassured him.

Those words motivated him to do well. Running and passing the finish line, to see her there, cheering him on. It brought a smile to his face.

Seventeen, B1A4, Teen Top, and BTS were the teams going up against each other. Jennie stood on the sidelines with GFriend and Yeeun.

“Let’s go Jimin!” Jennie shouted, clapping as her heart began to race. 

Once the idols started running, the arena started screaming. Jimin passed his stick to Taehyung as he dashed in his line tailing behind Sandeul from B1A4. 

“You got this Tae!” she began jumping up and down with GFriend and Yeeun.

Once Tae passed the stick to Hobi, he ran behind Jinyeong, before passing it to the last runner, which was Jungkook.

Soon as Jungkook zoomed past, everyone, he created a big gap as he aimed for the finish line. 

“Yes!” she happily yelled, continuing to watch him run. 

She started to migrate near the finish line, waiting for him to finish. ARMY began screaming as soon as Jungkook ran through the finish line. 

“The last runner from BTS is so amazing!” the commentators exclaimed while Rapmon and Jimin ran after him.

Jungkook kept running until he saw Jennie happily running towards him. He ran up to her and embraced her, rejoicing in his victory

“Ahhhh I’m so proud of you!” she wrapped her arms around his neck. 

They both felt a collision when Jimin, Rapmon, and Tae ran over, joining in the hug and they ended up tumbling onto the floor as the rest of the members joined in, laughing.

Yeeun ended up giggling with GFriend. “Ah, Jungkook and Jennie are so cute~!”

“I know! He looks so happy, too.” Eunha added with a smile.

“I haven’t told Jennie but I really ship her with Jungkook. Don’t you agree?” Hayoon asked.

“I know me too. I bet we’re not the only ones” SinB mentioned as they all agreed.

--------

A few days later, Jennie sat in her little studio at Big Hit with her camera videotaping her live for another V-Live. She sat in her chair, spinning around, while the views continued to multiply. She always had her V-Lives in English, enjoying speaking her primary language. But also tended to accommodate those who wanted to hear some Korean and Japanese. Some even asked for Chinese although she was still learning and needed work on it.

After a few moments and checked out the screen and waved. “What up, what up??” she smiled.

‘BABE!’

‘Hiiiiii’

‘ahhh I love you so much!’

‘Love u JW!’

“Welcome to the Smartie Factory!” she presented. “My own little studio, haha. Just like Suga, J-Hope, and Rapmon. This is where I create my covers and work on my music. Let me give you a tour.” she took the camera and showed off the computer. “So, this is where I have all my music on. I recently transferred my stuff from my laptop. I had this studio for a few months now and finally have the chance to show it off. Remember all the stuffed animals I received on White Day? Ahahaha, they’re all happily here to cheer me on while I work.” 

After showing everything, she set it back down on the desk while she sat and faced the camera.

“Sadly, there are no Smarties, right now, I ate them all. I’m so upset, I just had some yesterday. Sometimes I think the guys steal some of my smarties because there is just no way in the world I don’t have any left.”

‘How was ISAC?’

‘I saw videos of you at ISAC! You did great!’

‘You killed it at ISAC!’

“Yes, ISAC was sooooo fun! Mad fun! I had a great time, a better time than last year. At least I didn’t fall! I was so annoyed when they kept bringing up me falling last year. Just let it go, you know?” She continued to read the comments.

“Hahaha you say that some guys were looking at me? Who? Let me know the tea.” she spoke eagerly with amusement. “And yeah, I did meet more people! I finally got to meet some Seventeen members. They’re mad cool. The8 is very kind and cute. He accidentally called me handsome when he meant to say beautiful. I am trying to learn more Chinese so I can speak with him more and also to speak with more of our Chinese ARMY. I want to be able to communicate with you all without much of a language barrier. So please bear with me. I’ll be learning. You know, I get a kick out of my friends getting so confused when I speak English. And even Korean. It’s funny to see their reaction. I feel that way too when I’m not familiar with a language.”

‘The black community is so proud of you’

‘I love your self-determination’

“Well, I’m very proud that I’m representing the black community up here.” she beamed while reading the comments.

‘Did you see a lot of ARMY at ISAC?’

“Yeah, I did see a lot of ARMY at ISAC. I even saw some of you wear some USA merch. That was really cool of you to do that. I ran into some lucky ARMY after the show. Please don’t be so nervous to talk to me. I’m just a normal person just like you, just more known for her talents, that’s all. Like say hey, I’ll say hey back. While on Tumblr, I read that our supporters would probably die or pass out or wouldn’t be able to talk in front of their favorite idols. But I don’t want to miss an opportunity to meet my passionate supporters, so please don’t feel that way. I’m human, let’s have a brief conversation and chill.”

“Oh! For a while now, I was making some of my own music,” she added. “But lately I kind of got a little discouraged. I won’t scrap it, I’ll just leave it on my computer until I find the motivation to work on it again. My goals are to create music for myself one day and release it for you.”

‘Release it!’

‘Please release it!’

‘Don’t tease us like that’

‘Do I need to fly to Korea? Release it!’

She smiled softly. “One day I’ll release it. I want to rerecord everything though. My vocals are improving, so that’s good. I had this notebook and...” she trailed off

She remembered her young self, back in Amity, constantly writing a couple of songs in her notebook. Back when the other members were getting called out to work on their solo songs. Excited and eager she was, patiently waiting for her time to share a song that she wrote. She kept the notebook to herself and didn’t tell anyone.

When Hailey found out, she wanted to use Jen’s written songs for Amity’s next album but Jen refused because she couldn’t just give songs so personal away like that. It caused more of a rift in her relationship with the group.

But before Jen knew it, she had lost the notebook right before she left the group and hadn’t seen it ever since. But then recently, with Amity’s new album out to help promote their world tour, Jen noticed that some of those songs on their album were the songs she had written in her notebook. Crazy enough, some songs were tweaked for a more sexual tone and sadly, defeated the purpose of the written songs that she spent weeks working on because she wasn’t a professional songwriter and just wrote what came to mind.

Jennie shouldn’t have been surprised but soon as she heard those familiar words, she teared up and cried in her room. It discouraged and hurt her that they would do something that. They weren’t going to let her or Angelina live it down that they wanted to leave, huh? She couldn’t do anything about it but move on. She had spoken with Namjoon about it and vented to him. Yoongi was in the studio with them and she remembered the Daegu rapper suggesting to create a diss track. But her rap skills weren’t up to par just yet to go that way. And Amity, well, they just weren’t worth it and Namjoon agreed with her reasons.

Throughout this year, Amity would constantly poke shots at her and Angelina on social media because they’ve been winning awards like the Grammys. But Jennie and Angelina wanted quality music, not quantity.

Jen wanted to sing songs that were meaningful to her. She was glad she was here because Big Hit gave her more musical freedom, unlike SongStress Entertainment. It would be a while before she could begin writing songs again. The wound had not healed yet.

She sighed and shook the negative thoughts out of her head. “I had written a couple of songs but lost the notebook to it,” she responded. “Someone that I thought I could trust, now is singing those songs that I had written. But it’s okay. I hope to make better songs. So, bear with me.”

“Why do you stay in BTS when there’s some so-called “ARMY” that won’t support you but will support the other members?” she read a question. “Well, because I love what I do. And I refuse to let someone have that power over me to stop doing what I want to do in my life. It’s crazy, people always are there to see you fall but don’t say much when they see you do your own thing and succeed. But all these antis and haters, they can take a seat and watch me thrive. I ain’t going nowhere. Oh, so I was on Tumblr, right?” 

‘Uh oh...’

‘Oh nooooo’

‘What did you see!?’

‘Hide your fanfics!’

“You guys come up with some interesting fan blog names of me. Let’s see...um...what were they? Oh yeah, Jenniesyummythighs was one. MunchkinsBooty was another.” she laughed. “Uh, IAmJenniesBoobies was another I came across. HireJennieForNike is one I really like, they really should hire me. I’d be a great model for them. I’m so enthusiastic about their product.”

‘Lmaoooooo omg’

‘Hahahahahah’

‘LOL can you blame us?’

“So, ARMY, I have a question to ask you. I’m curious. So whenever I’m on Tumblr, I usually like to check the BTS tag, right? So, um...what is this about a Sub Jennie, I’m seeing lately? Should I be concerned?” she deadpanned, looking serious with a genuine voice.

‘DEAD’

‘OH SHIZ’

‘DELETE YOUR BLOGS’

‘SHE CALLED US OUT’

‘UM’

“Uh huh. That’s what I thought. But who said I was a sub?” she asked curiously but ended up laughing at how she asserted her question, shaking her head. “I didn’t mean it like that. I meant literally, who said I was a sub? Where did that even start? Ugh, I think I accidentally just gave you story ideas. Let me be quiet. My statement came out dirtier than I intended.”

‘OMG which one are you?’

“Ah, I should keep it PG. I’m not about that life.”

‘Do you read them?’

“No, I don’t read your fanfics. That seems like taboo territory for me. I don’t want to feel some type of way around anyone you write me with but you do you guys. I like the mood boards that you make and also the fan art. I came across this Hunger Games AU mood board and I thought it was so good. I love the Hunger Games and I enjoy mood boards so make more of those, please.”

“I saved some of my favorites on my phone. I like some of these users on Instagram and follow them. Here." she pointed out some famous K-Pop fanart pages on her phone. “I will try my best to see all your stuff. If you make the hashtag #JWFanart then I’ll always check that tag on Instagram and Tumblr. I’ll like the stuff on Instagram when I can.”

“Oh, and by the way, all of your MLTs of me that I randomly came across, seem to be all wrong," she pointed out. "I remember seeing this one statement that said who is most likely to kiss first. Y’all put me allllll the way at the bottom. I highly recommend that you reconsider that. I'm not afraid to kiss somebody,"

“Another thing, why y’all think I’ll be a crazy ass girlfriend? Like jeez, I’m mad chill, I promise you. Is it because of the I Need U music video with the cheating scene? I was just acting! And who is most likely to cheat? Why did y’all put me at the TOP of the list!? Bruh! Who do you think I am?” she called them out. "Like, no! Absolutely not, you wildin’, don’t play like that!”

She laughed again. “All right, I’m done teasing. Y'all enjoy whatever your imagination takes you,"

With Jungkook, he was in the Big Hit building, in a dance studio with Jimin and Taehyung, watching her V-Live on his phone.

“What kind of girlfriend do I think I’ll be?” he watched her read a comment in Korean. “I feel like I’ll be so cheesy, to be honest. I’d like to do some nice things for my future significant other, to show how much I appreciate them. I’m not sure what yet. I’ll cross that bridge when I get there. Gosh but the thought of dating someone, I’m like, you really want to put up with me? Me? Of all people?”

“Absolutely.” the Golden Maknae spoke, answering her statement.

“I’m so weird, are you sure?”

“That makes two of us.” he continued.

“I’ll admit, sometimes I have my fears. I try not to overthink it but some days I’m like, man I hope the person I date won’t get bored of me after a while.”

“I’d never get bored of you.” He guaranteed.

“I’m pretty sure a lot of people get those thoughts and overthink things. I feel like I'm a terrible kisser and need to get better at it. I apologize in advance to my future lover.”

“It’s okay,” he murmured under his breath with a smile.

"I guess when I do date, I'll get better at kissing. So I hope my future significant other doesn't mind me kissing them a lot,"

"I'd love that," Jungkook added

Jimin and Taehyung saw Jungkook immersed on his phone with a smitten smile on his face and they decided to see what he was up to. 

“I bet he’s watching Jennie’s V-Live.” Taehyung teased.

“I know. Look at him, trying so hard not to smile.” Jimin giggled.

Jungkook glanced up and narrowed his eyes. “Shut up!” He tried to get away from them as they tried to watch what was going on.

Back to Jennie, a comment popped up and she read, “When you start dating, you’ll improve your kissing skills. You can kiss your boyfriend whenever you want.”

Jen let out a soft laugh and nodded. “Yeah, you’re right. And for those out there, don’t change yourself for anyone. It’s their loss if they can’t appreciate you for you. There will be someone out there for you, so don’t sweat it if you don’t think you won't find someone special. Be patient. It’ll be worth it.”

‘Can you please sing for us?’

“You want me to sing? It’ll cost you. How much?” She teased and took out her phone. “I’ll put my music on shuffle and see what pops up.”

The first song to come on is a rock song. “I’m a little bit of a rock and metalhead. But let’s choose another song. You know one day I would like to create some type of alternative or rock song while playing my guitar. That would be so cool. Or maybe collab with a rock band, one day. K-Rock or not, it’ll be fun. Maybe, we’ll see what the future holds. I want to be more active with my guitar. I enjoy that style of music because the guitar just sounds so good with it.”

She pressed shuffle again and Love by Keyshia Cole came on. “Ah, this song! How come all these throwbacks are popping up on my phone, huh Spotify? Really?”

She pressed shuffle again and Pon de Replay played. “Ahhhh 2005 Rihanna. This was my song!”

She started moving her shoulders, bumping to the beat. “I love Rihanna’s evolution as an artist. I hope I can have the same type of evolution as her, music and appearance wise. I want to be an amazing artist just like her! The way she thrives in so many genres of music! Nicki Minaj too! So versatile! I hope to be just like them in music. Rock Star is one of my favorites from Rihanna! I want to be a rockstar! Black women in rock are amazing! It'll be a dream to work with them! I don't care what it is. Modeling, music, anything! I adore them!"

She pressed shuffle again as Ridin by Chamillionaire popped on. “Ooh! This song too!”

She started bouncing up and down on her seat to the beat while ARMY started laughing at her enthusiasm. “They see me rollin’, they hatin’, Patrollin’ and tryna catch me ridin’ dirty. Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty. Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty. Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty. Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty. My music’s so loud, I’m swangin’. They hopin’ that they gonna catch me ridin’ dirty. Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty. Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty. Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty. Tryna catch me ridin’ dirty.”

She pressed shuffle again and Right Thurr by Chingy came on. “Oh~ another throwback! I haven’t heard this in a minute! Okay, Okay, let me get back on track and stop fooling around. Let’s find a song to sing for you.”

Unconditional by Kehlani came on.

“Ah, okay, I’ll sing this. I highly recommend her music.” she looked at the camera and laughed shyly “You guys are gonna make me nervous.” she pressed her hands against her cheeks

Back to the Golden Maknae, he couldn’t contain his smile as he watched her sing sweetly to Kehlani’s song.

“Whipped!” Taehyung teased.

“Shut up!” he yelled and smacked him on the arm as he continued to try to watch her V-Live.

With Miss Bangtan, she sang, “Sometimes I come home and I’m sweaty from the day. And my hair’s all in a messy bun cause I had to get it out my face.” She pointed to her messy bun. “And I rather lace my sneakers up cause high heels ain’t my thing.” she showed off her Nike sneakers on her feet as she wiggled her eyebrows goofily which caused some ARMY to type in various comments indicating that they were laughing and amused at her movements.

“And I don’t see a flaw in that, I never want to change. So if you love~ me like you say~! You’ll be a man, grab my hand, take me as I am~!” she got out of her seat to dance and sing around.

I wanna l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love unconditional

I wanna l-l-l-l-l-l-l-love unconditional

‘IM CRYINGGGG’

‘Protect this child’

‘Why is she so adorable!?’

‘Ahhhhh I love this girl!’

After the song, she got back to her seat to check out the comments. “Protect me? Ahahaha! I guess I have some issues, don’t I? All jokes aside, I’ve been so excited to show you how much my singing has improved that I’ve been working on a number of covers to share with you on SoundCloud, probably near the holiday season as an early Christmas gift. Okay, let’s check out what’s next on the shuffle.” she pressed the next button.

Ain’t It Fun by Paramore came on and she started jamming. “Ooh, yes!” she jumped out of her seat to grab one of the biggest teddy bears from her White Day stuffed animal stash, and began to dance with it.

‘And I thought Jungkook was the weirdest, AHAHAH’

‘This is the true personality of Miss Bangtan. LOL'

Back with Jungkook, he started laughing hysterically. This was too adorable.

Instagram Models by Charlie Puth came on next when she changed the song, sitting back down.

“Oh! This song! Make sure y’all stay away from these Instagram models! Men and women! They will get you! Stay away from these people, man! Don’t give them clout, brah! Do not! Give them! CLOUT!” she yelled and spun around in her chair.

As the Maknae Line was leaving the dance studio, they began to walk near Jen’s studio. 

“Hey, Jungkookie, you should see Jennie and join her,” Jimin suggested with a mischievous glint.

“Ah, I shouldn’t.” The Golden Maknae shook his head, taking out his earbuds.

“I think you should.” He opened up the door and quickly shoved him in.

“Hyung!” he whispered in a hiss while the door closed silently.

Jennie, unaware that Jungkook was in her studio, continued Lil Wayne’s rap. 

“Uh, she just wanted to be popular. Uh, she just want ten thousand followers.” she pulled up her Instagram page, showing it on the screen. Setting her phone down, she shook her head and gestured with her hands, “Lord, she posted, she posted, she posted. They like it, they like it, repost it. She party promoting, she hosting. She posing, legs open, provoking. It got my head smoking. I tried to act like I don’t notice. Emotions, emotions, emotions, Lord!” 

She dramatically fell out of her seat as ARMY typed in LOL and laughing emojis while the chorus came back on

‘I am cryinggggg XD’

‘hahahahahahhaha’

‘Omg, she must be on a sugar high from those smarties.’

‘I'm high key happy that she is so comfortable with us like this. She used to be so reserved. She’s so goofy now ahaha’

Meanwhile, Jungkook silently started laughing and wondered when she’d notice him as ARMY noticed him in the background.

She got back to her seat to continue the next verse and she pretended like she was about to cry as she dramatically lip synced, “I had to leave that ho alone and get my mind right. I had to go talk to my friends, I had to find Christ.” She placed a hand over her heart and the other high up in the air, reaching the sky.

Once she saw a comment about Jungkook being in the room, she quickly turned around and widened her eyes. 

“How long have you been there!?” she exclaimed while he started cackling. She quickly paused the song while he grabbed a seat to sit next to her.

“Long enough.” he teased.

“Wow. Well, Jungkook make sure you stay away from these Instagram Models, mkay?’

“Duly noted.”

“I’m serious. They nothing but trouble.”

“I’m aware from what I just saw.”

“Hahah.” she turned to the camera. “ARMY! Look who stopped by, the Golden Maknae after he just watched me act goofy. Say hello to ARMY.”

“Hello!” he waved. “ARMY, Jennie is weird, isn’t she?”

“And you’re not?” she turned her head to meet his gaze as a big smile came across his face.

‘OMG, the way he’s looking at her! I ship it!’

‘I love their friendship so much. They are friendship goals.’

‘Aw, the way Jungkook is smiling, I want him to smile like that more often.’

“ARMY! Thank you so much for getting Shawn Mendes’ attention. I’m still stunned he noticed the cover. ARMY, you are truly one of a kind. Thank you so much for this.”

‘You are welcome!’

‘You deserve it!’

‘We ship you and Shawn!’

“You ship us? Hahaha. I do have a little crush on him. Hopefully, I’ll meet him one day and attend one of his concerts.”

“You like him?” Jungkook brought up.

“Not as much as you like IU.” she teased, causing him to smile shyly. “So when are you going to talk to IU?”

“When you are going to talk to Ailee?” he countered

“L-let’s not get into that. I’m not prepared.” She responded, making him chuckle.

‘Who would you date out of all the members of BTS’

“Who would I date? Shawn Mendes,” she answered with a grin

‘Who would you want to collaborate with?’

“Shawn Mendes.”

‘Who would you like to meet?’

“Shawn Mendes.” She answered again, causing Jungkook to poke the inside of his cheek as she continued to talk about Shawn.

‘Hahahah Jungkook looks a little jealous!’ he noticed a fan comment.

Did he really make it that obvious? 

He had hoped Jen didn’t see the comment. 

He needed to work on having a poker face and keep his jealousy in check.

“I’m gonna go. I’ll see you back at the dorm. I’m going to get something to eat first, did you want anything?” Jungkook got up from his seat.

“Lamb Skewers.”

“I’m glad our minds think alike.” he happily accepted her request and said goodbye to ARMY, exiting the room.

“As the year will be ending soon, I’m hoping that soon we can have some fan meets in America like there are in Korea and Japan. I want to be able to connect one on one with our American supporters just like we do here. So I’ll see what I can do.” She mentioned.

“I have also been writing out some more goals. I want to work more on my breath control when singing. I'm getting better at it. I’m currently working on trying to inhale a good amount of oxygen that flows out my lungs smoothly while I sing my verses to songs with ease. I've getting some vocal lessons to help with that, so I hope you look forward to my improvements as the years go by. I am striving hard to improve and reinvent myself. Especially with my live singing.”

Before she could speak again, she heard a loud yell from outside the room and watched Jimin and Taehyung run into her studio, locking the door.

She sat there, bewildered, and questioned them, “What the heck? Can’t you see I’m trying to talk to ARMY?”

She was cut off by their giggling. “We pranked Suga and Rapmon. We made it seem like we put water on their computers.” Jimin mentioned.

“Oh no, you didn’t.” she looked at them in horror.

‘Oh shitttt, Jen’s face says it all’

‘RIP Jimin and Taehyung’

“Can we please hide in here?” Taehyung asked,

“I hurt my finger, can you get me a band-aid?” Jimin asked.

“I wish I could band-aid your mouth.” Jen retorted, earning giggles from the 95 Liners. She turned to the computer when she heard hard knocking on her door. “U-um, ARMY, our time will be cut short. I need to fix the mess that these two goofballs created. Thanks for hanging out with me today. Love you, bye!” she turned off the V-Live and got up from her seat.

She smacked Jimin and Tae upside their heads, causing them to yelp.

"That's for bringing the drama to my studio!" she scolded.

“Smartie!” Yoongi yelled on the other side of the door.

“Yeah!?” She called out loudly.

“I know they’re in there! Open the door! Why is it locked!?”

“Because I was having a VLive with ARMY!”

“Bullshit, where are those two!? I'm trying to work on this damn album, and they spilled water on my fucking computer!“

Jennie rubbed her temples while Jimin and Tae panicked, and scrambled around to find hiding spots.

Yoongi was not in a pleasant mood.

“SMARTIE!” he banged on the door, causing her to flinch.

“Look what you got me into!” She whispered harshly to them.

Somehow, Namjoon managed to work on opening up her door, which caused Jennie to push the door shut with Taehyung and Jimin. Loud screams and curses were heard as the rappers tried to push the door open after they unlocked it.

“Not the door! NOT THE DOOR! My door!” she yelled when Namjoon accidentally dented her door, barging in to go after the poor 95 Liners. “Take this outside! Take this outside, right now! I just cleaned this studio up!”

• With his carefree personality he wouldn’t really be very intimidated by you, to your surprise, he’s someone who can get you out of your shell to start talking with him, he’s very interested in you!

• Your humor comes off as “insulting” to others, when you start using that humor with him he’ll pretend to be hurt and pout, but in reality he’s just playing with you.

• He’s probably caught you accidentally staring at him while you were day dreaming, he doesn’t do anything (unless if y’all are in some situation)

• He would definitely buy you so many plushies!

• He’s in love with your style too! Maybe let him wear some of your clothing (nevermind, it’ll probably rip.)

• Even if he’s very silly, he’s also a very serious person (*cough robot*), he will do his best to understand your disabilitys and help you anyway possible.

Round-Ups: Soldier 11, Lycaon

For your Hellsing Matchup, You have been paired with…

Alucard!

• I think I really like this matchup, also with your TPOF matchup too, this one’s definitely a very good one! Even though your a human, if so, he has deep respect for you!

• You guys get together perfectly, People don’t usually come around him for reasons, to put it together, because their scared of him, and the same goes for you since you look like someone who may not be approachable (not true at all, your super cool! — A/N)

• He may feel a bit surprised by your insulting and sarcastic humor, he will do the same back to you, if he hurts your feelings he’ll apologize and tell you he didn’t really mean it at all, and will get you whatever you want, just don’t be so mean.

• He probably thought you were a vampire at first, and (if) you said you weren’t he was very taken back, so your saying those teeth of yours doesn’t have fangs? huh.

• Your style and his own style match each other very well, he may or may not use some of your accessories or perhaps some of your clothing, he will also give you his (long ass) hat.

• Even if he doesn’t seem to show it, he really loves you so much, and he hopes you do too, don’t you?

Round-Ups: None! This is perfect, too perfect

For your Homestuck Matchup, You have been Paired up with…

Karkat Vantas!

• Another good one! I feel like him having a partner like you would be very good!

• He probably won’t approach you first, you may have too, you guys were probably at a party (idk😭), and you guys bumped into each other, you guys didn’t talk much but later on you guys would become friends and later on, lovers.

• Your style matches his very well! he thinks you look so cool!! he just doesn’t show it……. but that’s okay, he’ll always compliment you.

• He’s very caring for you! He understands your mental disability’s and does his best to take care of you, if someone thinks your trying to be “quirky” he’ll kill them off.

• His personality seems to match with yours, like a missing puzzle piece, I think he wouldn’t probably want a partner who has idiocy in them, someone like you is perfect, he loves your humor, you definitely said something and he’s covering up his laughter.

• Please take care of him too! He has a lot of insecurities, he does his best to look out and care for you, do the same too, he just wants some love :,(

Round-Ups: None!

For your Price Of Flesh Matchup, You have been paired with…

Celia!

• The best of the best, an iconic relationship.

• I feel like your another victim, but to her, you seemed to have something, she needed to know, so she took you as her “rat”

• The more and more she spent with you, she started developing feelings, hell, her? having feelings? no way, well, she definitely doesn’t like annoying people, she would probably just kill them immediately.

• Your humor is funny, but sometimes she may not be in the mood for it, be careful if you do so she’ll put you back in the cage.

• Since your a caffeine addict, I’d feel like she would buy you coffee and you guys would just talk really, she doesn’t really care for your mental illnesses but later on she will and she’ll help you too.

• She doesn’t really care about your style to be honest, you’ll see her stealing some of your accessories if you wear them.

• She hates her husband of course, but she’s in love with you so much, you guys are definitely gonna kill him and run away together, just the two of you where you find real love.

• Once that happens, your her new significant lover she’s marrying (but your not hearing that from me though—)

Round-Ups: No one! I love this one so much!

For your Boyfriend to Death Matchup, You have been paired up with…

Sano Kojima

•This one was a little bit difficult for me but I feel like this is a pretty compatible relationship!

• He’s pretty closed off, kind of like you he probably wouldn’t know how to start talking at first, but he does though!

• You we’re supposed to be just one of his experiments that would soon later die, but then you turned out to get into his heart and make him fall for you.

• He LOVES that your into anatomy! you can be his study partner, you guys can experiment on his victims together! Isn’t that romantic? No? What do you mean? Anyways… You would probably help him kidnap some people to work on his experiments, that’s what I think.

• He enjoys your sarcasm very much! it’s what makes you and him more closer with each other, he’s very cold hearted but when you came, you were able to make him warm up too you, and that’s such an amazing thing.

• He would love hearing your shower thoughts, or JUST ANYTHING! He loves giving you plushies just to see you happy, he may be a bit jealous when your not cuddling him, can you cuddle him too?

• He’s just fallen in love with you, he’s making you stay forever, don’t leave now! he wouldn’t wanna kill you after all (:

Round-Ups: Strade.

For your Sally Face Matchup, You have been paired up with…

Larry Johnson!

• I did think of sally for some time, but I feel like he would be more good for you, but I’m gonna add sally to the round ups because he also feels perfect, but not as perfect as him!

• He’s definitely a person who wouldn’t be someone annoying to you, he’s very laid-back like you are! He doesn’t wanna intimidated you easily, so he finds a way to get you to be comfortable around him.

• He would love listening to a lot of metal and rock music with you, but wouldn’t mind also listening to more of your other favorite artists outside the metal/rock genre, he can totally teach you how to play the electric guitar, no need to pay him! your his beloved after all!

• He doesn’t find your mental illnesses “quirky” at all, if anyone ever says that or makes fun of you he will definitely stand up for you, don’t worry about them, he’ll take care of them.

• He would buy you plushies for sure! You guys can play video games on your free time too!

For your Jujustu Kaisen Matchup, You have been paired up with…

Sukuna!

• Don’t get mad at me for adding another fandom😭 I immediately thought of this, I couldn’t get it out of my head how perfect you would be for this man, let me tell you.

• His personality AND yours collides perfectly, including with the rest of your dislikes, he took a liking to you when he layed his eyes on you, he couldn’t get his mind off of you, who are you? why are you making him feel like this? he needs to know you.

• He wouldn’t be someone that would intimidate you, he would try to get you to calm down, he likes that your into a lot of gruesome things like horror, true crime, hunting, etc, you guys are just a powerful couple, he would definitely take you on killing sprees, don’t you wanna kill your enemies with him? how good would that feel?

• He doesn’t care that your a “petty bitch” he’s not that good either, he LOVES your humor so much, he loves you using it, he can’t stand kids either like you, you guys can kill them together! even more romantic! why are you holding grudges? he would tell you to just let them go!

• He finds your style pretty cool, he loves the things you wear, he may even tell you to put on a outfit he may like from your wardrobe!

• Honestly, this is the third 10/10 relationship i wrote for you, Im in love with this pairing, you can’t change it otherwise, you guys are made for each other, remember, he’s never gonna let you go now!

Round-Ups: Toji (Zen’in) Fushiguro, Choso.

Kikuo anon here!! How are you doing??

I have another request for you!! And i also did send a request a couple days back so I’m excited for that to almost be done!! but anyways, i hope your feeling better!! Hopefully it’ll also go away soon, now… without further ado…

Could i request Tengen + wives, Muzan and Mitsuri With a GN! S/O who has a Gorou Personality from Genshin Impact!!

(AAAASSAAHHAH HES SO CUTE, i could ramble about him all day, i also love his voice, and everything else really!! so im glad I choose him for this request)

Thank you!! And i hope you feel better!! (Drink lots of fluids btw, it helps a lot… well for me at least when im sick…)

aa thank you!! I do feel a lot better!!<3 I really love Gorou! he's so cute omg

Idk if you wanted this but the reader has ears like him.

Mitsuri

She thinks you're absolutely adorable. She loves playing with your ears with your permission ofc!! She thinks you're really cool with how responsible you are. You always know what to do whenever there's a problem and she really admires you for that. She talks about you all the time. Like mid-conversation, she'll just bring you up. "Did you guys see y/n this morning!?!?! They are wearing those earrings I gave them!!" She said interrupting Giyuu and Shinobu's conversation "We know Mitsuri you have told us 4 times.."

Muzan

Very interested in your ears. He loves playing with them but he won't admit that he's playing with them. "I was investigating them" Loves how flustered you get. He purposely does things that will get you flustered just to see how red your face turns. He likes how responsible you are. He asked to turn you into a demon and you accepted and just 3 months after becoming a demon you were able to challenge an upper rank for their spot.

Tengen + wives

Suma is obsessed with your ears. Hina loves how responsible and how caring you are for her the other wives and Tengen. And even Makio likes playing with your ears sometimes. Tengen thinks you are very flashy!! He's never seen anyone with ears like yours before he of course asks permission before he does anything but he loves playing with them. He's really happy you get along with the other wives too he loves coming home from missions and seeing all 4 of you talking and laughing together.

Thank you for your request! Have a nice day/night!

𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 m. atsumu x reader

childhood friends to lovers, fem!reader, 1.7k words tw. swearing

you realised you first loved atsumu since he was still missing one of his front two teeth and you had grass stains on your knees and palms. after moving in two weeks ago, you took it upon yourself to explore your new home; the only interesting thing you’ve really found is a small quiet playground shaded by large maple trees- but nevertheless, you’ve become very familiar with your very own little world. you’ve been coming to the local playground every day in the hopes of someone your age coming and befriending you but your only other company so far has been an elderly women with frizzy grey curls, a bright flowery scarf and a large jade bracelet. she could barely hear unless you yelled and could barely see past where to plant her feet as she walks. she would always sit on the wooden bench underneath the biggest twisting maple tree and stare blankly out, her firm mouth and wrinkled eyes creaked upwards in simple contentment.

this persisted until a particularly cloudless day with the sun beating down on your bare shoulders, the heat bringing an otherworldly shimmer to the air. out of nowhere, a strange boy came sprinting up to you, gasping frantic words. “help i-“ he inhales a big gulp of air. “i need to hide. my brother-“ his large brown eyes dart to where he came sprinting in from. “no time to explain.”

with absolutely no debate in your little head, you throw away the leaf you were tearing apart, dash up to the boy who you still didn't know the name of, took his hand, and ran. as you sprint, you look back at him, and he gives you the largest grin you’d ever seen; immediately your little seven year old self decided that this boy was someone you will never be letting go. not easily at least.

the second time you realised you loved atsumu was the third year of junior high in the cool spring afternoon as you wait for him outside his classroom, sucking on the straw of a carton of peach tea. one by one students filed out of the classroom, running up to friends with a squeal or simply breathing a sigh of relief for the school day being over.

“y/n!” your head snaps towards the voice and a large smile breaks on your lips at the sight of atsumu striding towards you with his long legs. he was already taller than a lot of the other boys your age, and he never ceased to torment you with the fact that he now towers over you unlike when you were kids where you would tease him for being shorter than yourself.

oh how the tables have flipped… he would grin mischievously, looking down at you with amusement glittering in his eyes. its ‘turned’ dipshit you would scowl at him, and i can still kick your ass so shut up.

“you ready?” you shoulder your bag and cock your head at him, but your lips slowly contort to a frown as you notice the sheepish grin on his face, and the noticeable lack of a school bag on his shoulder.

“so…" atsumu brings a hand up to rub the back of his neck as he chuckles awkwardly. "i didn’t realise what day today was… and i swapped my cleaning day with minato so i could go to the practice match on tuesday…”

“oh, really?” you deadpan, your shoulders drooping. you shouldn't be surprised at all; the amount of times he's made deals and compromises with people to get his way was more than you could possibly count.

“it’ll be quick! i promise- ten minutes- easy.”

you take one long suck of your straw as you narrow your eyes at him. honestly, you were completely fine with it but it was fun to keep atsumu on his toes- you couldn’t let him get away with everything so easily.

“you owe me doryaki.”

“sure!” atsumu spins around back towards the classroom with a spring in his step “i mean its not like you have anyone to see- ow!” he jumps as you punch his back. “you’re quite violent you know, not many guys like that in girls.” he sends a pointed frown your way as you smile at him mockingly. making your way to the teacher’s desk, you plop your bag down and hop up onto it to take a seat, loud slurping noises echoing through the room as you finish the rest of your tea. atsumu makes his way over and begins to wipe the blackboard behind you, using his long arms to stretch and reach up to the highest spots. 

you spent your time waiting chatting and cracking jokes, mainly atsumu debating on dying his hair or complaining about osamu making him look stupid in class and you laughing at him as he pouts. there were other students pottering around doing their respective cleaning duties, but if they were bothered by your noise they didn’t show it or you just didn’t notice- atsumu has a particular talent in making you feel like you were the only two people in the room. even as he finished up his blackboard cleaning duty, he pulled up a chair across from you and flipped it so his legs were outstretched on either side, and he was resting his chest on the back of the chair. the two of you continued talking, and talking, missing all the students leaving the classroom until it was just the two of you laughing like idiots.

“wait-” atsumu perks up and looks around, just realising the distinct lack of noise. “how long have we been here?” 

you pick up your phone to check the time, and your eyes widen as you figure out just how long you’ve been sitting . “its been forty five- shit we should probably get going now.” you start to grab your things and shove them into your bag, jumping off the desk to make your way to the door.

“hey! ack- slow down!” atsumu yells, scrabbling to put the chair away and throw his bag over his shoulder as he hurries after you. he skids to a stop besides you and runs a hand through his hair as he recollects himself. “and anyways,” you look up at atsumu, and he smiles at you, all teeth and confidence. “you don’t have anywhere to be, do you?”

you know he doesn’t mean much of it, but your heart jumps at his words, and your face heats up. 

you’ve noticed this recently. the way you react to some simple words, or a lingering touch. even now, you couldn’t help but feel your breath run short as he walks a little too close to you, your shoulders brushing his. 

“no,” you breathe, knuckles turning white as you squeeze tight to the strap of your bag. “i don’t.” 

“good.” atsumu speeds forward and stops in front of you, bringing your own steps to a halt. birds chitter as a spring breeze brushes through the trees and through the hallways, ruffling atsumu’s hair lightly. “because you gotta spend all yer time with me, got it?”

and you swore you stopped breathing. 

the third time you realised you loved atsumu was in your second year of highschool at nationals. karasuno had just beaten inarizaki two sets to one, and the boys were lined up to face the crowd, utterly defeated. you were up in the stands, stood clutching your cheering cone, your face white hot trying to hold back the tears welling up in your eyes. you seek out atsumu, desperately hoping you could offer a smile and comfort, but he looks straight ahead, face pinched in anger. his lips move and he says something but he’s interrupted by a man in the crowd yelling at him. as his face falls from one of contempt to one of acceptance, you let the hot tears run down your blotchy cheeks. as the boys bow in front of the crowd, you clap even harder, palms stinging; and as they finally turn around and walk away, your heart burned. he didn't look at you. not once. you knew exactly how self obsessed that sounded but- you had to look into those eyes, even if there were tears mirroring yours.

whipping around, you hurry through your row, muttering apologies as you push through clapping hands to reach the stairs. as you fly through the hallways and the stairs. all you can think about, all you could see, was atsumu’s wild grin as he pulls off his miraculous plays; the dripping of sweat down his neck as he celebrates his success; the glee in his eyes as he looks for you after every single game, giving the most arrogant wink ever with that stupid stupid smirk you've endured since you were children.

you’re jumping stairs, and as soon as you turn the corner and see the familiar backs of the inarizaki uniforms, you screech to a halt, heaving in heavy breaths, and fist your knuckles by your sides as you squeeze your eyes shut.

“miya atsumu!”

your voice reverberated through the empty hall, and all the boys whipped around simultaneously to see your panting form. your chest was jumping up and down at an embarrassing pace, but when your frenzied eyes met with atsumu’s wide ones, all thoughts poured out of your ears to the floor like sand through your fingertips, and your mind went blank. no one said a word and you two stood there for what felt like aeons, just staring at each other with osamu and the rest of the team exchanging looks. some sort of emergency protocol in your mind realised then that you in fact, have just yelled out atsumu’s name like a crazed fangirl and now have absolutely nothing to offer, except to stand there, looking at him and him looking at you. 

“y/n…?” osamu glanced between his twin and yourself with a brow raised.

you square yourself and roughly wipe your face of any tear tracks; he didn’t need your pity. “beat them next time, alright?”

you keep your stare glued to atsumu, leftover adrenaline still thumping in your veins. something shifts in atsumu’s eyes, and he starts making his way towards you with those long strides of his, starting with a slow walk before his steps become faster, longer, and he's crashing into you, enveloping you into that warm sweaty embrace you’ve grown to crave. it’s become muscle memory, wrapping your arms around him and threading your fingers into the softness of his undercut as he burrows his head where your neck meets your shoulder. 

“you-”

“tomorrow.” atsumu interrupts you, pulling you tighter to him as he speaks muffled into your shirt. “one, my place. wear something comfortable to walk around in.” 

you blink, hearing his words, but it took your brain a moment to fully process exactly what he was saying. you open your mouth to utter out some sort of reply, to get some semblance of answer to the jumble of questions snowballing through your mind, but as he lifts his head and looks at you with a glimmer in his eyes, his warm breath washing over your cheek, lips just centimetres from your own, you choke on your words completely.

“i’m taking you out on a date.” he smiles wide, eyes crinkling in the corners. “i've waited a long time to do that.”

well pals here we are, the final eat her ear friday of yellowjackets season 2. this post is gonna be a little different than my usual recaps as i’ll focus on more just kinda discussing what i liked, what i didn’t like, what i think might happen next, instead of the more stream of conscious style deal i usually do and it’ll be organized as all teen timeline thoughts followed by all adult timeline thoughts. anyway i have loved yellowjackets blogging with you all this season and cannot wait to continue being insane about this show with all the cool people on this webbed site. spoilers below cut

teen timeline episode thoughts:

- i gotta say teen timeline was top tier this week. i loved every second of the wilderness time from the second it begun. 

-just everything about how javi was handled was great, seeing travis’s grief at the start, how shauna butchered javi, van and travis’s talk, travis taking a bite out of javi’s heart, it all just went hard. i wonder if the bite of the raw heart will become a part of the hunt ritual. like the person closest to the hunted or perhaps the person who killed them bites into the heart before cooking it bc i’d fuck with that

- fucking coach man. he really should’ve died this season. he is the only man on this show i truly like but they had to ruin that by just drawing out his life. seriously what was the point of all his paul stuff and his suicide attempt and his clear hopelessness if he wasn’t gonna die. i do think that the girls are gonna hunt him down in s3, like they’ll track him to the cave and kill and eat him then take the cave as their’s. fingers crossed. sorry coach my guy i liked you but you need to die eventually. also fucker burnt down the cabin. what the fuck dude i know you think the girls are monsters but like you’re gonna try to kill them all for it?

- NAT ANTLER QUEEN ok i fucking loved this. lottie no longer being able to hear the wilderness. her passing on the role she never even wanted. nat always having been it’s favorite. nat’s horror turning into joy/acceptance. all the ways the girls pledged their loyalty to her. loved loved loved it cannot wait to see where it goes from here. 

next up adult timeline episode thoughts:

- first of all too much of the men. like seriously walter swooping in and saving the day with his plan to frame kevyn for all the adam shit was just so meh. it would’ve been so much better if walter hadn’t been introduced and misty had been the one to pull that kinda shit. also pissed that creep cop lives to see another day get in losers we’re climbing through our computers to kill creep cop ourselves.

- i did really enjoy the recreating of the ritual scene, i thought it was very nicely done and shauna drawing the queen is not what i expected and i did like callie coming in to save her. also how during the ritual there were flashes to their teen selves i ate that shit up.

- ok now the main thing is obviously nat. her death was definitely frustrating. i think it could’ve worked had it happened later in the series or if it had been better set up just how it happened really fell flat. it does definitely seem like juliette wanted out so the writers had to change their plans. just nat’s story does not feel entirely complete and how it all works out from here really depends on how they play things going forward. i do think that there is a way for this to work plot wise i am just definitely concerned.

- so interested by our girl van. how she kinda lights up when lottie says that it worked. i think either van is cured or thinks she is and that that is gonna bring her back to her faith in the wilderness despite how she clearly wanted to leave it behind. so so so excited to see where her story goes especially alongside tai and lottie, there is just so much potential here and i hope they don’t fuck it up.

- finally it really felt like they were trying to hard to make a nice neat tidy ending for the adult timeline. like they wanted to wrap up as many plot points as possible which really doesn’t make sense given the amount of show that is supposedly planned. i’m definitely concerned that they’re gonna introduce some weird out of no where plot lines in the adult timeline to refill the empty space left by what was wrapped up here.

Hello! This is a bit of a late response considering I read the 3 new chapters on the day you released them but I’ve been super busy and wanted to fully compliment them rather than respond in a rushed manner. I was actually on a college residential trip in Germany but dropped everything to read the new chapters, I was so excited and it did not disappoint! So here comes my stupidly long list of thoughts that no one asked for but I’m giving to you anyway because I am hyper fixated on this fanfic-

As a Hwa bias, chapter 10 was cruel, but in the best way possible. The way their alpha x alpha relationship is similar to that of wlw or mlm one in real life is so painful but such a smart metaphor. My situation is in fact very similar to his, being queer but financially dependant on my parents, so this definitely hit home. I hope the best for our Sanhwa but I love the subtle representation this dynamic is providing for us. The fact that neither of them let Wooyoung in on it because they want to protect him from the truth, are you trying to break my heart?! I can’t wait to see what you’ve got in store for them in future chapters. Mingi admitting fault is my favourite thing ever. I hate the trope of the main love interest being as close to perfection as one can be, Yungi having flaws humanises them so much and adds a whole lot of depth to their characters, making the story itself so much more interesting. But I’m also so happy that we are back into Yungi x Y/n fluffy era.

Chapter 11 was the prefect breath of air between 2 very angsty chapters. I literally love Wooyoungs character so much and getting to see him happy made me feel all giddy inside. Also love that Yeosang and Jongho are more included in this chapter. I hope we get to see Woosangs relationship develop more in future, they're such as cool side couple and deserve the best. The way Minseoks character slowly became more prevalent created great foreshadowing to the threat he would become, it’s paced so well and is such an enjoyable sense of anticipation.

And chapter 12. Oh chapter 12. Alike to chapter 10, I like the way that it represents trauma while being in a fictional and fantasy context. It gives the opportunity of being able to empathise with such an experience as it acts for a metaphor of traumatising experiences many of us have have in real life without directly describing it. And my god is it described well. I feel so much rage towards this fictional character, its not even funny. Once again Wooyo and Y/ns omega friendship that non of the others will ever be able to understand is so heart-warming and the way that Yungi and Woosanhwa put their differences aside when the person they love most was in danger. But also…wdym Hwa was sat with his head in his bloody hands?! I need to know! I didn’t even stop to think about the guys perspective because I was so invested in how Y/n perceived it but that teaser you dropped has made me so hungry for it. It’ll add weight to this climatic portion of the plot and so much depth to characters as were able to see how such an awful situation will influence their rational.

Once again Chai you have blown me away and allowed me to enjoy reading in a way I never believed I could. I’ll continue rereading these amazing chapters until the next update. Much love,

- 👻 anon

oh my goodness thank you SO much for this comment. i've read it a couple of times now, and i just really appreciate that chapter ten resonated with you. it took a while to figure out that dynamic with san and hwa, but i'm really happy with how it came together.

i hope you also enjoy the chapter 12 from the boys perspective release.... your comment on seonghwa's bloodied hands..... all is revealed and i really hope you enjoy that too!!

thank you as always!

Tbh I honestly can’t imagine my life without Taylor. Her music has been with me through some of the most tulmutuous, traumatic and grief-stricken moments. Even when I didn’t actively realize I was a “Taylor Swift fan”, I always went to her music. I think what’s interesting about being a fan and what people don’t realize is how much you attach pieces of your life, things you love and care about, your insecurities, your tears, your loneliness, your dreams and whatever other parts of you to these people you admire, to their art. You get to see a reflection of the person you were, the person you are, and the person you want to become through them. Like for me, the Red album will always be an apartment in Calgary, looking over the twinkly lights of a skyline in the dark, with my hands wrapped around my knees while my dad fought cancer in the next hospital over, but I heard songs like: All Too Well, I Almost Do, Come Back… Be Here, and I attached my hopeful self to them so now every time I hear lyrics like: I wish I could run to you & I break down ‘cause it’s not fair that you’re not around, I’m taken back to a version of me and I remember her hope, her anxiety and fear, but also the comfort of lyrics, the comfort of a familiar voice. And then once more, when my dad finally died, leaving a hospice in the cold snow of March, listening to songs like Breathe, Ronan, Last Kiss. I hear lyrics like: what if I’m standing in your closet trying to talk to you, what if I kept the hand-me-downs you won’t grow into, what if I really thought some miracle would see us through, what if the miracle was evening getting one moment with you & the music starts playing like the end of a sad movie, it’s the kind of ending you don’t really wanna see, cause it’s tragedy and it’ll only bring you down, now I don’t know what to be without you around. That to me is the power of Taylor’s music, and beyond that, the power of being a fan. I guess it’s just so cool to be a Taylor fan all these years later, to witness the lightning strikes and the pouring rains of her career, and through it all, to see her bravery, her honesty, her vulnerability as a musician, writer, and woman when she was told to stop being those things. But I’m so glad she didn’t because there was a fan like me, all the way in Canada, who needed her vulnerability, who needed her words to break through grief, trauma, and heartbreak of the worst kind. I won’t say her music saved me, even if parts of it did, but it was better: her music guided me through it. It’s such a privilege to be her fan, to be a listener of her words and music, and now we’re getting a new album with a song like antihero and all the other brutally honest songs where, after all these years, she is still opening up her heart and showing her softness, showing her brokenness, bruises, scars, scabs, and everything in between, so that small little fans like me feel recognized, even in the smallest way. It’s a marvellous thing to witness and to be a part of.

OUAT Thoughts Pt.21--Episodes 22-1

I have watched through S3E1; spoilers DNI. Also, spoiler warning for anyone further behind than I am.

—Let’s have a round of applause for the writers. The last episode of season 2 was exceptionally well done. There was absolutely no wasted time or unneeded drama.

—For example, Belle and Mr. Gold. She got her memories back and nobody had to go through the angst of her being mad at herself or at Mr. Gold. She’s just there for him right from the second she’s herself again. Also, that was beautiful for their sake, because they’re finally becoming the people together that they should be.

—Which of course means they have to split up. But I choose to believe that they’re going to be reunited, because I trust Belle to be persistent.

—He kept the cup even though it was broken!

—I doubt Rumplestiltskin would bring his dagger with him to Neverland, particularly if he fears Peter Pan this much, which leads me to conclude that he’s having Belle watch it for him.

—Grumpy is a lovely guy. Asking the Blue Fairy to make that extra dose of memory potion for Belle was very nice of him. I doubt anyone else would’ve even thought of it.

—I respect that Hook’s reason for turning against Tamara and Owen is “I don’t want to die”. Everybody and their grandmother has a noble, self-sacrificing reason to fight for something. It’s nice to acknowledge that some people’s motivation is self-preservation.

—That red vest Hook wore during Bae’s backstory was gorgeous. Actually, his clothes as a whole aren’t entirely atrocious.

—With other types of story being used in OUAT (such as Dr. Frankenstein) there should be a least one ballet story. Technically, Sleeping Beauty has been a ballet, but that doesn’t really count. Giselle, maybe?

—*sigh* now I’m never going to see more of Red or Dr. Hopper!

—At least the portal in the middle of the ocean looked cool. Which it did, by the way. Water tunnels are iconic.

—The Shadows in Neverland are very Kingdom Hearts. (Which, by the way, is a masterpiece of storytelling in itself. 10/10.)

—I disagree with Hook. Rumplestiltskin having a wardrobe change *is* a good use of our time. Getting to see him without his Dark One makeup, but wearing the Dark One clothes, is quite the experience.

—Regina’s blue jacket really stands out against the oceanscape. I mean, I like most of her fairytale clothes better than her “real” world clothes, but her jackets are nice.

—Yes! Tamara and Owen really just got bumped off right from the start. Outstanding.

—So they’re really sticking with the whole malevolent Peter Pan thing. Brilliant. It’s about time somebody figured out what a creepy bastard he can be.

—On the other hand, how am I supposed to take this kid seriously? He’s been set up well, with everybody talking about how terrifying he is, but now I need some action to back that all up.

—Vengeful granddad is a good look for Rump.

—I hope Bae keeps that stick to fight with. Also, he should get some fairytale clothes.

—Darn, Prince Philip is back. Well, at least we might get to explore how that happened eventually. It’ll be a fun adventure if nothing else.

—That storm was epic. Way to reinforce how scary Neverland is.

—It would be cool if Ariel was one of these mermaids. Not that I actually think she will be, because she’s one of the Princesses, but it would still be awesome. It would be so much more interesting if she loved a human when she’s supposed to kill them, than what OG!Ariel’s story is. (That girl is just so whiny. I mean, I could write essays about Ariel, both her good parts and her bad parts, but I think she comes out as a general dislike for me.)

—Okay, Robin, come on. If you move into a guy’s house because he’s been cursed out of the world, why would you trash it? Does he like living in filth? Couldn’t he be bothered to dust once in a while…like, once a year even?

—I’m glad they’ve finally acknowledged how weird it is for Emma’s parents to be her age. But I do feel sorry for them, they’re trying their best.

—My feelings about Hook have gone from “he’s so stupid” *annoyed* to “he’s so stupid” *fond*. I don’t even know what happened.

—Maybe it’s his soft spot for Bae. I mean, I still don’t buy that he loved Mila as much as he claims/believes he did, but the fact that he seems willing to care for a person outside of romance is important to me.

—Hook and Rump killing their feud for the sake of this quest is also important to me. Both of them have been rather uncompromising in the past, particularly when it comes to holding grudges, but now they’ve dropped it all because this is more important.

—I love seeing Charming with a sword again. I much prefer that to his guns.

—Emma doing pull-ups in the Jolly Roger (what a fun name!) reminded me of something I really like about her. Unlike Elsa, Anna, Rapunzel, etc., it’s plausible that Emma can pull off the physical feats that she does. She trains. Her background is a job that required her to be athletic and capable. It makes sense that she can do all the jumping and the running and the dragon-slaying (even though I disapprove of any and all dragon-oriented violence). Emma is a much more realistic person than many Disney ladies are.

—This stuff with Henry intrigues me. He’s the culmination of both the brightest and the darkest bloodlines in the fairytale world. If he develops magical abilities, that could be an interesting plot point.

—Although, having two very angry moms with magical powers makes him one of the scariest people in OUAT canon, so…anything else might just make him OP.

—I hope they go back to Storybrooke eventually, because I’ve become rather fond of it. And of the other characters who show up there.

—I love watching the actors’ names roll by at the beginning of each episode. I specifically look for Ginnifer Goodwin and Robert Carlyle—Ginnifer because I love her as Judy Hopps, and Robert because I love him as Rumplestiltskin. Seeing their names just makes me happy.

tears of the kingdom aka the heart attack nintendo gave me this morning

━━━━━━━ ✤ ━━━━━━━

First of all, I’ve yet to speak about Zelda here, it’s a newer interest (aka I got into it in the past two months) that has very quickly become my current hyperfixation. Anytime I get into something new I honestly have this little moment of embarrassment where I feel kinda dumb for having attached myself to a subject so darn quickly ig lol, so i didn’t feel like screaming about it on here. But… I cannot contain how much I want to talk about the one and a half minute clip we got in the Nintendo Direct like only a few hours ago.

My brain functions arguing aside, we have a name, it’s no longer breath of the wild 2 :D I do not like tears of the kingdom. to. be. completely. honest. I don’t know what I was expecting so I can’t really say what I wish the title was instead but idk the title just doesn’t feel right. I bet after a while I’m not gonna care anymore and it’ll just be another title to say when I’m talking about the games. I suppose it fits (it does idk why I'm saying i suppose), Hyrule’s being thrown back into ruin, not exactly a happy kingdom. Plus there’s probably some meaning to it that I’m not quite getting and will have an aha moment for eventually-

As for my expectations, I hope we get a more cohesive storyline. While I enjoy the concept of having a completely open world game and think having a storyline that adjusts to fit your gameplay is fun and interactive, I really think it took away from me enjoying any of the plot that was there. Of course I enjoyed it, but I think it would have been more enjoyable if maybe there was a clear order for the memories and some of the quests you have to do. I’ll say it keeps me from rushing through the game just to get to the end, but I still think it leaves this undesirable want for a better built story. Again I understand why they did it with botw, trying to make a solid open world game where everything is truly up to the player. But I hope nintendo takes a bit of a different turn with totk and tries to sort of merge a slightly more linear storyline with open world stuff. I think I just want cohesive objectives rather than “Here’s the final task and 4 things u can do or not do if u want to make it easier.” Not that I dislike that, in fact I love it and think it was an amazing way to make an immersive game BUT I’m just saying I don’t want the same thing. We got that from botw and it was awesome but now I want a new game. Part of why I say that is just because I don’t want botw and totk to be the same game. Some new mechanics and an altered map will just feel like someone slapped a detailed mod onto the game. I have to remind myself that it’s a direct sequel and many things will and have to be the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ELEVATOR! I do not know why this shit got me so excited but I can elevator into the sky and that’s all I want in life. ngl I was too focused on the elevator thing to notice the big ass tornado mf to the left what is that-

Does he not take fall damage on this or is this just nintendo showing the cool new features without wanting him to just ragdoll off- Most likely the latter but you bet your ass as soon as I get this game I will be jumping down to whatever that thing is and seeing if I die or not. It will probably end in death.

Also, if I can’t ride/get on top of giant snowballs and roll down hills on top of them in totk, i might just not buy the game- (hint hint wink wink nintendo r u listening)

May 14th is so far away,,, I had to quit my job a little bit ago because I moved abt 4 hours away and honestly I’ve yet to reapply for anything… totk got me wanting to get a job just so I can pay for it when the time comes- I am truly the ceo of letting games urge me into getting jobs just to pay for them alone…

ya boy just finished reading wolf island so now i’m going to talk about that because that sure was an experience (prepare for all over the place rambling)

kicking it back into our main man Grubbs’ point of view after spending a book with Bec and the book starts out pretty slow. it’s establishing things we already know and things we’ve already read from Bec’s perspective. it’s only after Grubbs, Shark and Meera part from the rest of the group that things start to actually pick up and become interesting.

this book isn’t as demon focused as the previous few have been and is much more werewolf centric but i guessed it would be from the name and also because that was the established quest for team Grubbs in Death’s Shadow. the only demons we really get in this book is the demon that Beranabus, Kernel and Grubbs were beating up at the start of the book while in the universe of the demonata and then i guess Juni, if you want to count her as a demon because she definitely isn’t a human anymore anyway.

it’s always a pleasure to have Meera around in the books and prior to going into this book the only experience i really had with Shark that notably stands out to me is all the way back in Demon Thief when he shows up with a young Dervish. outside of that notable experience he really hasn’t featured a whole lot outside of serving as a commander in Demon Apocalypse and then of course coming to Dervish’s mansion after the Lambs attack and after Dervish has his heart attack. because he hadn’t really featured much i didn’t really see a reason to be attached to the man but after spending most of a book with the guy and seeing him interact with the others i can confirm i’m now attached. he’s a cool guy and i hope there’s more of him soon (hopefully his recovery is smooth).

i absolutely loved the character dynamics between the characters in this book you can really tell that they care for each other. i absolutely adored Grubbs and Kernel’s reactions at the beginning of the book to Meera and Shark showing up in the demonata universe. i thought that with the shift in Grubbs’ character in the latter half of the book when he lets the wolf free that the dynamics wouldn’t be the same and yes they’ve changed but not a whole lot. sure Meera was hesitant and perhaps terrified at first she soon lapses back to a kind of normality with Grubbs before she parts ways with him in the last few chapters to help stop a crossing elsewhere.

speaking of Grubbs’ transformation, good for him. good on him finally being able to find himself in his own body and find a balance between him, the beast within him and the kah-gash. he no longer has to fight himself. it took me way longer than it should’ve to realise that the half man half wolf amalgamation depicted on the cover of the book was Grubbs (i only realised when i had to put the book down when Dervish talks about how he wants to be the one to choose when he dies and how he wants to do it on his turf (earth)). his new form and brand new abilities that come with it give him his own unique attributes that set him apart from the other members of the kah-gash as prior to this Grubbs didn’t have one. Bec has her memory soaking abilities, Kernel has his light panel seeing abilities and now Grubbs has his wolfen form and the heightened senses, speed and strength that come with it.

speaking of Kernel i think they’re just going with he’s dead, or at least Bec is convinced he is. but i mean i doubt Darren Shan would just kill off a member of the kah-gash with seemingly no reason to and even if Kernel were to die that’d be a big deal and it wouldn’t really be brushed off as a lesser death, he’s a piece of an ultra powerful world shattering universe erasing weapon god dammit. for now his disappearance remains a mystery and i can only hope that Dark Calling explains what the hell happened to him while he was guarding the window in Death’s Shadow, why he disappeared and where he’s been. and one can also hope that it’ll be from Kernel’s perspective too, he deserves another book from his perspective.

in terms of deaths this book there was a lot. all of the soldiers that were part of Shark’s dirty dozen (a reference that is lost on me) unfortunately didn’t survive the mission to Wolf Island but i wasn’t very attached to any of them so it was okay. sure i felt sorry for them as they were ripped to shreds by werewolves (and gun fire) but as Grubbs puts it in the book when Shark only introduces most of them by first name that it’s better that way because when it comes down to survival and loosing them it won’t hurt as much because it’s not as if he knew them beyond that name. and then of course there was all of the werewolves that were blown up when Timas set off those several bombs and the dominant wolf of the werewolf pack that Grubbs kills too. there’s also the massacre of all of the lamb soldiers and technicians within the compound. and finally probably the best death of the book Antoine Horowitz. Antoine was the brand new ceo of the Lambs who was incredibly insistent that he accompany Shark’s dirty dozen to Wolf Island to find and get answers from Prae Athim, former ceo who has supposedly went rogue and took all these werewolves to this island. and in a twist i didn’t see coming Prae Athim isn’t the big bad that i was expecting her to be it’s actually Antoine who we all should’ve been looking out for as he brings out his rosary when they reach the island and spends a long while doing what was thought to be just him saying prayers but was instead him opening a window of which Juni enters through (her coming directing from the cruise liner that the others are on). in retrospect it makes a lot of sense why he was so insistent that he went with the others to Wolf Island because if he hadn’t then who would’ve summoned Juni? anyways he gets ripped apart by werewolves.

somebody who didn’t die in this book that i fully expected to die was Prae. with the whole quest against her and all i thought she was going to be a goner for sure, even more so when she and Timas hang back to hold of the approaching werewolves to protect Grubbs and Meera. but she doesn’t die after all! and is now resuming her role as ceo of the Lambs but after everything she saw on that day, because yes everything that happens on Wolf Island is one day, she’s going to change Lambs for the better and go back to their original mission. they’ll still be looking for a cure but their main mission is to help the kids in the Grady Clan who’ve turned. no more killing, no more werewolf breeding, no more experimenting, no more being kept like caged animals and no more lies. instead of killing the kids that are afflicted they’ll instead be brought to Wolf Island where they can live free as part of the pack. Prae is has a long way to come in improving herself after all of the things she has done while in the Lambs but this new promise is a start to bettering the organisation and her brush with death has seemed to have awakened something in her to do better.

somebody else i feared would die this book was Dervish. his heart is in such horrible shape i was half convinced that he’d die at sea on that life boat with Bec and Kirilli, becoming their next meal. and with the chapter that Grubbs finally sees him in again being called “This Is The End, Beautiful Friend” i really thought he was a goner but no Shan’s just toying with my emotions again. he doesn’t have much time left though and he’s not got much fight in him either. i hope that if he does die though that he gets to go out quick and painlessly. and i hope that Grubbs and Bec are by his side because the last thing i want to read about his him dying alone.

also we get a Kirilli come back in the same chapter and he’s wooing the nurses of his tales of heroism on the ship and how he fought so many zombies and he’s talking about his missing fingers too. he’s such a loser oh my god. and when the window in the city opens like Meera was told it would Dervish literally gets out of his death bed to go and fight while Kirilli is in the corner throwing up. he’s a lover not a fighter. he goes anyway because otherwise the nurses will know that he was lying about his heroism and he just plays off his cowardice as him just needing his torn to pieces coat so he can look cool while kicking demon butt. never change Kirilli never change.

oh! how could i forget of the new character and very important character introduced in the beginning of this book! i’ve literally mentioned him in this post several times before too lol. anyways on to Timas! Timas is this very tall man and close link to Shark who’s a genius when it comes to computers and technology being able to track down anybody or anything to its original sources. if he hadn’t came in and located the nearest Lambs building and then located Wolf Island Grubbs, Shark and Meera would probably still be sitting in their hotel rooms trying to figure out what their next move will be. he’s described as an oddball throughout the book and yea sure he may be weird to an outsider but personally i think this man definitely has autism with a hyper fixation on technology, very blunt in a lot of responses and also doesn’t outwardly express emotions the same as the rest of the cast which makes him come across as just being calm and unfazed due to him typically just having a resting grin on his face. i think Timas is very cool. i’m glad he didn’t die in this book because if he died at any point the whole team would’ve no doubt been goners because, not to discredit those who died and made massive sacrifices for Grubbs and Meera to survive, but Timas’ brains saved the group from death on several occasions. he parts ways with Grubbs and Meera when they reach land to be there for Shark when he wakes up after surgery in hospital which hopefully means that he’ll appear again in either the next book or in Hell’s Heroes because i could see him being a very useful asset in the fight against Death. sure he isn’t a mage or magically inclined in any way whatsoever but he is incredible when it comes to technology, researching and recalling the things he’s researched as well as being very intelligent too. and in a fight against Death you’ll take whatever help you can get, that’s why Kirilli is on the team after all.

also before i talk about Shark and his injuries that i mentioned above i want to mention a funny observation that i’ve made regarding Dervish, Meera and Shark in Death’s Shadow and Wolf Island. all three of them have used the expression “remind me to give you a big kiss after this” (of course worded slightly differently depending on who’s saying it). Dervish says it too Meera when they’re in the secret room in the wine cellar after the werewolf attacks in Death’s Shadow (or it’s Meera who says it and Dervish just agrees i can’t remember) and then both Shark and Meera say it to Timas in this book after he makes some life saving observation and plan for the team (i don’t remember which one). i thought that when the line was used in this book that it would be dismissed as a one off thing like it is in Death’s Shadow, because i mean Dervish then collapses of a heart attack a few moments later, but it actually isn’t! and Timas brings it up when him and Prae are staying behind to hold off the werewolves so that Grubbs and Meera can escape and live as he apologises to Meera that he wouldn’t be able to receive that kiss that she had promised him as he’d be dead to which Meera jokes that she lied and wouldn’t kiss him which makes Timas actually sad until she tells him she’s joking, Meera don’t be mean to my man >:(. that isn’t even the end of this bits as it’s brought up by Timas again when he parts ways with Meera and Grubbs as he says about the promise that Meera made, which she’s forgotten about because of all of the commotion. and i’m just going to pull this straight from the book because i just thought it was the funniest thing ever:

…“I know,” he says, then turns to Meera “Time to make good on that promise.” “What promise?” Meera squints. Timas grabs her and bends her backwards, supporting her with one arm. “A kiss for your sweet prince,” he murmurs, smooching up to her. Meera pretends to struggle, but then grins and treats him to a kiss that’s even hotter than Shark’s curses.

and like while that’s happening Grubbs is just kind of standing there waiting for them to be done with it. another funny bit that has nothing to do with the previously mentioned bit is when Grubbs confronts Antoine and he asks Grubbs what had happened to him (referring to his new wolfen form) and Grubbs just replies with “Teenage Angst”. that was funny to me.

anyway onto Shark he’s ambushed by one of the werewolves while the group is fleeing from the cave and he stays behind fighting off to werewolves which allows for the team to make for the cliff side to escape (they don’t end up doing so). Shark is then absent until the later chapters of the book as everyone presumes that he’s dead and he sacrificed himself for them dying in action like a true hero. but no Shark isn’t killed that easily and he lives! he’s able to compose himself enough after the fight to drag his very wounded self back to the facility where he’s then able to lower an escape boat and climb down the rope ladder to escape boat where he simply lay while Grubbs and the werewolves massacre the Lambs, Grubbs fights Juni and hears her vision (i’ll elaborate on that in my last bit), them discovering about what happened with the others on the cruise ship, the werewolves murdering Antoine and Prae vowing to be a better person and to completely change the Lambs. good thing Grubbs, Meera and Timas found him when they did because Shark really wasn’t in good shape down there as Timas goes point out that his innards are poking out of a wound on his back. thankfully there’s an ambulance that rushes him to hospital when they reach land because god knows he needs it. i can only assume that this isn’t the last time we’ll see the battle hungry Shark in these books and fingers crossed he recovers in time for the end of the world…

speaking of the end of the world did you know that Grubbs is going to be the cause of it? apparently so! or at least according to the vision that Juni had during her battle against Grubbs in the compound. that’s the only reason why Grubbs survived the battle too because if Juni hadn’t had that vision when she did he’d be dead. Grubbs is part of the kah-gash which is a weapon that can hypothetically be used to destroy not just worlds but universes but Juni didn’t say the kah-gash she never even mentioned Bec or Kernel in this vision it was just Grubbs. which is really strange. what’s also strange is that the kah-gash has seemingly only been talking to Grubbs also as i don’t remember it ever speaking to Bec during Death’s Shadow and i can’t speak for Kernel because he hasn’t had a point of view since his introductory book Demon Thief when the concept of the kah-gash being a thing that exists was introduced. also Grubbs is back to withholding information that seems like it would be extremely beneficial to tell the other disciples, but then again if i was told that i was going to be the reason the world ends i’d struggle to word that to somebody else too.

despite the lack of Kirilli in this book it was an amazing read (i’m joking even if there was no Kirilli it’s still an amazing read) and i loved the character development that Grubbs is going through in this book as he embraces his “true self” and becomes a more confident leader. and everybody better get ready because the end is near and Death doesn’t wait for anybody… or well i guess he can wait one more book so we can figure out where Kernel went to.

#oof this post is a long one #i think i covered all of my thoughts of the book in here and if i missed something oops #also a major spoiler warning for the entire book because i basically talk about every single major (and some minor) things that happen #i haven’t spell checked or anything so i apologise if there’s any atrocious spelling or grammar mistakes in this long post #the demonata #joe soup speaks

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba - Koyoharu Gotouge Volumes 16-23: Commentary Part 2/2 An unnecessarily long commentary with all the screams, all the musings, and ALL THE SPOILERS

-Ah, the Tokito twins met their parents too. Happy sigh I guess

-Now Tanjiro’s crying and he set me off again, great.

-A crow?! You dared kill a crow?! I freakin’ gasped!!

-Aaah, and Genya met the Shinazugawa fam. He was done dirty tho, he doesn’t get the full afterlife treatment (I see why, but still it’s notable).

-That Ubuyashiki sister slap tho, she drew blood.

-Ay ay ay, Giyu and Tanjiro met Muzan, I feel this has become a death roulette at this point. I genuinely don’t have it in me to be all “Please don’t die” anymore.

-Oh oh, one eye down for Tanjiro, that’s too soon babe no

-Yushiro, slay man, slay!

-“If it’ll help you defeat Muzan, then eat me!!” I laughed. What a good egg.

-Remember when Giyu thought he wasn’t a true Hashira, lol what nonsense.

-Man, this in anime, hearing the voices, will be torture. Like, I’m playing the voices in my head, but ofc it’s not the same.

-The hell happened to Tanjiro?!?!??!??! Side note, how fitting that after this, the next panel is Giyu, considering “he has always cared about Tanjiro.”

-Well, he can’t be dead, it’s too soon.

-Poor little master, I feel sorry for him.

-Himejima. I instantly feel better.

-GodDAMN, Sanemi, you’d think Muzan is made of jelly the way he slashed him!

-This is so freaking interesting, I never thought I’d be so engrossed in action manga stuff.

-Oh, Giyu and Murata in the same Final Selection? Cool! Murata’s been a Demon Slayer that long?

-Yes! Yes yes yes, ancient memories, yes!!

-What’s amazing is, this is a huge cast, but not once have I thought “Ugh, not this person’s backstory” or “Ugh, not this person in the spotlight.” I’m always like, YES, GIMME MORE, FEED ME, I WANNA KNOW EVERYTHING!

-Heh, the Rengoku Slayer clan goes waaaay back.

-Ooh, so Demon Slayers predated Yoriichi, but he started the breathing techniques.

-A second ago I was screaming mid-battle and now we’re in the memory and it’s all so gentle because Yoriichi is gentle and the narration feels like a caress.

-I love how Tanjiro is still not magically OP, he’s still not as skilled as the Hashira. He has Hashira moments, but the Hashira can still do more and maintain their strength and stamina for longer.

-Idk, as I read, I feel like the author really cares about these characters and their stories, I feel affection coming through, like they are loved. I hope it was true.

-Seven hearts and five brains. That’s a lot of hearts and brains.

-Imagine banishing Yoriichi from Demon Slaying, what nonsense.

-You have every right, Iguro, go get your girl - and freakin’ yes, Iguro backstory, let’s goooooo

-The Flame Hashira as in? Rengoku Senior?

-Babe, they were fifty not very good people.

-That’s a cat with a MISSION.

-THE CAT SAVED US! SPLENDID!

-NOT THE CAT TOO, FREAKIN’ MUZAN, WTH

-The kids! The kids are here!

-The Kamado ancestors thought process: See house; get house. It’s a very tender connection they have with Yoriichi though.

-Eh? Eh? Eh? What’s happened to the Hashira? WHAT’S HAPPENED T-

-Ugh, my little baby Tanjiro, what has this awful demon man done to you :’(

-Ooh, Sumiyoshi saw the Sun Breathing forms and passed them down through the kagura dance, nice, makes sense.

-I love Sumiyoshi. I love Yoriichi. Help.

-We have a lil bit of best-antagonists-forever situation here, Yoriichi and Muzan.

-Tanjiro’s literally dancing the kagura, I cannot.

-No cats were fatally wounded in this manga.

-Iguroooo!! Tanjiro’s lil smile when he sees Iguro, help me

-Holy shit, Iguro jumping in for the kill, justice for Iguro

-We have to reach volume 22 to finally clarify how demons are made???

-What would we do without Yushiro

-When they end sentences with double exclamation marks, I feel it. One is not enough.

-I wish we’d seen a snippet of Zenitsu learning his forms before this.

-Look at the kids working so well together, I cry.

-NOT IGURO! JUSTICE FOR IGURO!

-Oh. Tanjiro lost an arm.

-Oh my heart, Giyu and Tanjiro holding the blade together.

-What victory, there’s so much story left!

-Rest in peace, Himejima :((

-Can’t... Can’t Iguro and Kanroji just get married in this life, do they have to die first, dammit? Haven’t we lost enough?

-Not Sanemi too??? What is happening! Phew!! PHEW!

-I understand that Tanjiro is dead, but also I don’t believe that Tanjiro is dead, bc there’s still too many pages, so I feel sadder for those that mourn for him rather than for HIM, because he’s simply not dead.

-Oooh! Ooooh mannnn ohooo is Muzan turning Tanjiro into a demonnnn. Kinda messed up in the greatest way that he did it because of Ubuyashiki’s speech on what lives on forever.

-I don’t know what will happen next, but thank you Giyu for not letting Tanjiro have his first kill, he wouldn’t like that if he turns back into human.

-I am laughing nervously because... because I’m oddly delighted at this turn of events. It’s just! It’s different! I like it! Just be thankful Tanjiro’s not demon-headbutting anyone yet, you gonna lose heads. Anyway, that’s one for Nezuko and Yushiro, right? Nezuko to calm him down and Yushiro to give him the drug?

-“This is the guy with the half-and-half haori! He’s our ally!!” Hahahaha, I don’t know if I’m hysterical right now or if it’s that funny, but I laughed.

-What is happening, why am I loving this so much

-Hooolly shitttt, he didn’t even listen to Nezuko??

-I’m 98% certain that Tanjiro won’t kill anyone, so I’m chillin’ and enjoying this feral Tanjiro. Love this feral Tanjiro.

-Go, Kanao, go!

-Oh no, ~Romeo and Juliet did actually die :(. Show their rebirth and reunion at least!

-Such bullshit, Muzan. “The dead” would give their life twice over for Tanjiro to live, smh.

-Tag yourself, I’m Inosuke crying over Tanjiro’s head through my boar mask.

-Oh my Kamado babies, they are smile-crying.

-Now I’m happy.

-Three months later.

-Asdfjdgkj, I love getting to know Nezuko in her human form, omg.

-I wonder what Yushiro will do with his life.

-Jesus, someone adopt the Ubuyashiki children. Giyu? Sanemi? Anyone?

-Giyu and Sanemi smiling at each other, help, why is this so soft

-Nezuko sitting on Uzui’s shoulder, HELP

-Kanao has some of her vision, and Kaburamaru, good good.

-The panel of Tanjiro and Nezuko smiling as they run to Giyu and Urokodaki. My heart is so full. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

-Can’t we leave it here at home, laughing together, with everyone else smiling peacefully where they wanted to be, why are there more pages, stop with the pages

-“He’s a pleasant but strong-willed boy” haha, yeah, that’s our Tanjiro.

-Eee, future Kamados, I cry. Great-great-grandparents omg Kanao and Tanjiro! <3

-That kick!! That’s definitely Nezuko’s descendant/reincarnation.

-That person in the twins’ background looks like Yoriichi’s reincarnation, good for him.

-Aw, the Tokitos are babies.

-I mean, Gotouge-sensei did always dabble in their AUs.

-Eyyy, Iguro and Kanroji, yessss, they’re married, THANK YOU!!!

-Shut up, I love how their reincarnations are all linked somehow.

-Baby Giyu with baby Sabito and baby Makomo, stop, this is too cute

-Centenarian Kiriya, help <3

-A RENGOKU DESCENDANT

-Aww, Inosuke and Aoi.

-Everyone that survived has descendants, I cry (they’re sort of reincarnations too though, no? The Rengoku descendant really channels Kyojuro, Sumihiko is channeling Tanjiro etc).

-Sanemi and Giyu sharing a post-war meal, help.

-Yushiro was only 35?!?!

-Well. I SURE hope Kanata doesn’t have a girlfriend! *side-eyes Toko*

-I’m very happy with the manga. When I was looking up reviews to see whether I should take up the task, one said, “I laughed and cried so much” and I remember thinking, “But I don’t want to cry...” but. But it’s so heartwarming. So heartwarming.

-A thought in retrospect: I mean, yeah, technically Yoriichi ~failed to kill Muzan, but he was also fighting alone. We have a full army AND poisons AND sunlight AND a strategy.

-Another thought in retrospect: As much as I hate the fact of it, as much as I’m never over it, narratively Rengoku’s death was one of the best decisions. The most kind-hearted, the most genuine, friendliest, the purest and one of the strongest Hashira at the time dying so early genuinely set a tone. It did not let you relax at any moment in any fight, because any moment could be The Moment. The stakes were perpetually high, and it’s hard to pull that off in a series with so many long battles over so many volumes.

-A third thought in retrospect: Even though Mitsuri is visually the most sexualized character, narratively -apart from that one pervert tailor- she’s not sexualized at all, to my recollection. No one comments or stares, Tanjiro panics, Iguro gifts her socks to make her feel better and, as far as I remember, it’s her personality that he compliments. Like, no one cares. I appreciate that.

-LMFAO WHAT THE HECK! I’d noticed that the boxed set had a few Hashira on one side, and always wondered “hm why only these Hashira,” but left it at that. NOW I’m like, “Oh Tanjiro and Nezuko are holding the death flowers,” and I REALLY LOOKED WHO was in the art AND IT’S THE DEAD! THEY’RE HOLDING FLOWERS FOR THE DEAD, HOLY SPOILER! WHAT! THANK GOD I AM OBLIVIOUS, geez!!!

Coyote Club Ch3

Finished this yesterday, didn't post until now though.

I don’t actually know what a croissant tastes like. I know it’s like this french thing that they eat, but I’ve never actually had one. I guess I’ll get one since I’m like here and I kinda should like, you know, eat something so I don’t like die or anything. Also seems kinda like rude, to like, go into Starbucks and not get anything, I don’t know. I guess I’ll get a water as well since like I don’t drink coffee. People really seem to love coffee, but I just don’t get what’s so interesting about it, it’s like, bitter and shit, and all it does is prevent you from going to sleep. Like I already have stress-related insomnia, I don’t need that to be exacerbated. But I don’t know, people like it, and I guess this is a cool place to hang out. I don’t know why Gabriel wanted to hang out here either, since like I don’t think he drinks coffee either. But who knows. Gabriel’s here right now, he’s also getting a water, but he’s not eating anything, since he said he ate earlier. Which means I’m the only one eating this croissant. Found a nice table by the window, waiting for my name to get called. Me and Gabriel are talking about stuff, mostly classes.

“Classes are starting to get annoying” «Tell me about it» I think they may have called Phillip, but I can’t actually tell, since this place is kinda noisy. “Hey, how come you wanted to go to starbucks? I thought you didn’t drink coffee?” «Yeah, I don’t. I don’t know why I came here to be honest. I think I just thought that like, hanging out in a cafe was cool or something.» I guess that makes sense. He’s writing something on his laptop, I know he’s like good at writing or something, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen his work. “Hey, what are you writing?” «Oh, just some stuff you know» “Can I see?” «Oh, sure I guess» I look over, he’s writing some song lyrics. Seem kinda neat I guess. Don’t know what it’ll sound like though. Personally, I don’t really care about what he’s writing, I just want to be able to view what he’s doing. No clue why, I think I’m just weird or something like that, I don’t know. Hold on a minute, I need to get my croissant. They should have called my name now, I’ll go check. “Seems pretty cool, have to get my croissant though hold on.” I check over at the counter, it’s not there, but I see at the corner they have a bag. I check the name, Phillip. God damnit. I go back to my seat and look at the croissant. Doesn’t look like stereotypical french croissants. I take a bite. Tastes like weird buttery bread, but not like the good butter. I’m going to have to eat this shit. You know, it’s kinda funny. Gabriel’s working on a laptop in a starbucks. “Hey, I just realized, it’s kinda funny that you’re like working on a laptop in a starbucks.” «Oh, heh, yeah it is, just realized that. I guess I’ve become my worst enemy, generic white guy working on his laptop in a cafe.» This croissant hasn’t improved in taste. Gabriel’s waving to some guy outside, doesn’t look like anyone I know. 「Excuse me, are you two Coyote?」Who said that? Oh, it’s some guy. Hope he’s not trying to like do some stupid thing about how brave or proud we are or something, although it doesn’t sound like it. “Yeah, we’re Coyote. Why do you ask?” 「Oh, it’s cause I wanted to meet y’all」Is this guy southern? He looks southern. «That’s cool, I guess» Oh god, this is starting to get awkward, and I hate those situations. I can’t watch like shows and stuff where they have embarrassing stuff happen. 「Yeah, it’s cool cause I live on a reservation.」Wait, what? “You live on a reservation?” 「Yeah, I’m from the Onategoren Nation」Damn, that’s cool. “Oh, yeah, that is cool.” «Woah, that’s cool»「Yeah, well, I wanted to meet other Coyote, since I’m not Coyote myself, but my family is, so I wanted to get to know them.」Hold on. “What do you mean by that?” 「Oh, I’m adopted, so I’m white, but my family is Coyote, that’s how it works. So like I said before, I’m not Coyote, but I know the culture and stuff I guess.」Damn, wait a minute. This guy knows more about the Coyote than either me or Gabriel does. What the fuck? 「Hey, so do you mind if I sit with y’all?」I guess I don’t mind, cause this guy seems like he’ll be pretty interesting I guess. “Yeah sure, I guess you can sit with us.” 「Alright, great」Ok so this guy seems cool, since like he’s actually lived on a reservation, which I guess is kinda funny since like we don’t live on reservations ourselves, so he probably knows more about Coyotes than us, which is funny. Also, now that I give a shit about this guy, let me see what he looks like. Brown hair, blue eyes, kinda light, wearing a dark red long sleeve shirt, and what looks to be jeans. This guy definitely looks rural. Doesn’t appear to have any Coyote attributes to him, looks just generic white guy. He has a beard, don’t know how you would describe it, like a chinstrap I think you call it. Hair is short and straight. «Hey, cool, so what’s your name?» 「Oh, I’m Abraham.」Like Lincoln. “Like Abraham Lincoln?” 「You would not believe how many people have said that to me heh. What’s y’all names?」”Oh, I’m Phillip, and this is Gabriel.” 「Well it’s nice to meet you Gabriel and Phillip.」«You too.»

Ok, so this guy is from the Onategoren Nation, despite being White. I don’t know how much relation he actually has to the nation though since like I think some of them are pretty white, but I don’t know. “So, what’s your story, I mean like, what’s the reservation like?” 「Well, I’m not Coyote myself, as you can probably tell, heh. However, my family’s Coyote, because I’m adopted.」Damn, this guy is like the opposite of my situation, that’s funny. 「I think my parents said they adopted me from like Maine or something, which is really far and also kind of weird how they did that, but you can’t change the past, can you? Otherwise, I guess my life was kind of rural as you would expect, don’t know where y’all are from?」«I’m from around here, on Long Island.» “Yeah, me too.” 「Alright, well I’m an only child, and I was in a pretty Coyote town, so I was the only non BCA white kid there. So I felt a little out of place, but not too much. I’m into driving and guns, but I do like spending time on the internet even though our house had crappy internet. My parents were nice, I think they worked at a government job or something, can’t quite remember. I know my dad served in the military, so he’s a veteran.」Man, this guy is rambling on and on, don’t really mind though cause I like that stuff. It’s weird, like I really want to know everything there is to people, because I’m kind of interesting myself, being Coyote and all, but like I sometimes worry that I’m not that interesting beyond being Coyote. Like that’s like the first immediate noticeable thing about me, and it’s weird cause like it’s cool telling myself about that, but beyond that, I don’t know. I wonder if Gabriel ever experiences that. Gabriel’s kinda fidgeting, think it’s because he wants to go. I’ve noticed that, he’ll sometimes seem as though he’s like fidgeting or something, and it’s usually followed by him leaving. Can’t blame him, I think he just has situations where he has to get out of there and go back to the safety of his dorm. «That’s really cool and interesting, but I’m so sorry, but I have to go back to my dorm to finish up some of my work, I'm so sorry. It was really cool getting to know you though, hope to hang out with you in the future.» That’s a lie. Gabriel never works on Saturdays, he always does shit on Sundays. 「Alright thats cool, I should probably be doing other stuff as well to be honest. Maybe we can meet up next weekend or something?」Oh thank god, didn’t want this to become awkward or anything, that would be painful. “Yeah, that sounds good I guess. I guess we’ll meet up next Saturday or something.” «Yup, that sounds cool. Was really cool getting to know you though. Bye!» “Alright, see you soon, bye!” Wait a minute, shit I need his number. “Wait, actually, what’s your phone number?” 「Oh yeah, here you go」Adding him to my contacts, so that way we can actually meet up. I hate having to type numbers on a phone. “Alright, thanks a bunch, sorry we had to cut it short I guess, but it was still great meeting you!” 「You too, bye!」”Bye!” Damn, that was really cool actually, can’t wait to see him again. Hope to learn more about what the Onategoren nation is like, and what an actual reservation is like as well. That should be cool.

Nothing in the Parenting Books Prepared Me For This

19. The Comprehensive Guide to Caring for a Loki

Synopsis: Thor wants to babysit, so he picks the littles up from daycare and spends the evening with them.

Word count: 3,136

Stand Alone?: 1/2 parts

Warnings: messing, diaper checks, fem presenting Loki

Notes: Little baby Loki and Sylvie are so cute!

Read it on AO3!

Of course, it didn’t take Mobius’ mustache long to grow back, and Thor at least had some stubble that was starting to become a beard. 

It had been about two weeks since the lice incident, and Thor had been in the car to drop Loki and Sylvie off at daycare many times, even sometimes coming in to say goodbye on days when Loki, and now even Sylvie, as she grew attached to him, was particularly fussy. 

“So when do I get to look after them?” he asked one day. 

Mobius hadn’t been expecting that question and almost choked on his coffee. 

Thor patted him on the back. 

“Why don’t we do a trial run first?” Mobius suggested.

“Trial run?” 

“Well a Loki isn’t exactly easy to take care of... How about tomorrow you can pick them up from daycare, I’ll give you some instructions, and you can have some alone time with them? It’ll be only an hour or two, but that should get you enough time to get a feel for it.” 

Thor nodded. That sounded like a good idea. 

The next day, Thor leaned against a spaceship he had been issued by S.H.I.E.L.D., as it was the only thing he was qualified to drive, in the daycare parking lot. He talked with Hope while they waited for the tiny bell atop the old building to ring so they could come in and pick up their respective littles. Hope had picked Scott up every day in a different car, and today it was a black station wagon with a big red and yellow racing stripe. 

The little bell rang and Thor was able to come in and find his little girls. It made him nervous that they didn’t immediately run out the door like most of the other littles. He stepped inside to talk with the caretakers and found that Loki and Sylvie had both been around a year old most of the day but Scott and Bucky had still been nice enough to play with them. 

“Tor!” they both said as he came in to get them. It was apparent to him that they were both just old enough to walk, Sylvie even showed him a cool adult sized push toy she was playing with. 

Thor did his best to balance one of them in each arm. 

Sylvie struggled as she was picked up around the midsection before being able to sit comfortably.

Both of the littles were wearing matching dresses and booties that were reminiscent of the ones Sylvie wore to the Christmas party, with puffed sleeves and a babydoll fit around the waist. Loki’s dress was a light pink while Sylvie’s was a golden yellow, and each had a bedazzled crown on the chest.

Thor brought them out to the spaceship and they excitedly let him buckle them in. The five point buckles were similar enough to car seats that Mobius felt that the extra support wasn’t really needed. Being in the small spaceship was surprisingly not as interesting to the littles as the car was. Probably because the ride in the spaceship was so much shorter and didn’t have as many windows for them to look out.

Thor landed the ship and helped the two littles inside. 

He set them in the playpen with some toys that Loki often played with, as well as Sylvie’s triceratops and pegasus, using playtime as a distraction while he scoured the kitchen. There was some extra pureed food in the fridge Mobius had made last time Loki was this little. Thor buckled them into highchairs and put their bibs on. He sat on the dining table and fed them each alternately with one spoon, but after four bites, Loki refused and shook her head, even as Thor poked her with the spoon on the cheek. “Fine, Sylvie gets an extra bite then,” he said. 

He consulted the guide Mobius had left him on Loki not eating. He remembered seeing it when he skimmed through before going to pick them up from daycare. “If Loki won’t eat, try to encourage him, but don’t force it,” it said. 

Thor sighed, “Are you done, sister?” he asked.

Loki nodded.

“Sylvie? How about you?” 

Sylvie shook her head, and Thor tried to give her another spoonful but the little girl reached out for it.

“Would you like to take the spoon?” Thor asked.

Sylvie nodded and bounced up and down for emphasis. “Bi’ giwl!” She said. It was one of the only things she had said since Thor picked them up. Before that, he hadn’t even really been sure if Sylvie was old enough for words. 

When Sylvie was done, and set her spoon down, Thor wiped up their mouths with the bottom of their bibs which made both girls giggle. 

Thor brought the girls back to the couch and let them look through the pages of the book, even though it wouldn’t mean anything to them. 

“‘Check diapers every hour or so or if you notice them getting fidgety..’” he read aloud, “when was the last time you two had a change?” he asked as he set it down. Loki played with the hem of her dress as soon as Thor asked.  “Loki, are you wet?” 

Loki looked away. She was unsure about the idea of getting a diaper change from someone who wasn’t Mobius. Even the daycare instructor, Ms. Vaughn, was on thin ice. Despite that, Thor got Loki to lie down and unsnapped her diaper cover for a check.

Loki, at least, was going to need a change. He decided to check on Sylvie, too. He found out very quickly that she was rather touchy about diaper checks and diapers in general, as she almost fought him, insisting that she was a big girl who didn’t use them or need them. But Loki very helpfully distracted her enough for Thor to get a good look. “Loki, how can I tell if Sylvie’s wet?” Thor asked, not finding a wetness indicator like Loki’s had. 

“Uh…” Loki looked over as Sylvie hid her red face. Loki decided to show and not tell. She did the check Sylvie and Mobius usually did, sliding two fingers into the leg of Sylvie’s diaper. “Wet,” she told Thor. 

Thor took Loki to wash her hands, slightly grossed out. As Sylvie put a throw pillow over her face in embarrassment and was left on the couch for a split second. 

Thor brought them to the nursery, and changed Sylvie first. Loki noticed how lost Thor looked after untaping Sylvie’s diaper and did her best to help, grabbing Thor the wipes, and baby powder, and lotions, and also making sure Sylvie had a pacifier, and something to cover her face if she wanted. Which of course, she did.  

“Thank you,” Thor told Loki when all was done. Loki nodded and let Thor repeat the same motions on her, calmly. 

“Uh-oh,” Thor said. 

Sylvie looked at him nervously, “what wrong?”

“Apologies princesses, that was our last diaper,” Thor told Loki. Loki whimpered as Thor prepared a cloth swim diaper for her instead. “But it’s okay. I’m sure your daddy can take us shopping when he gets home.” 

He fastened the snaps on Loki’s diaper and velcroed up the cover. “What do you two think? Play in here or in the playpen?” 

“Hewe!” Both of the babies agreed.

Loki sat down on the floor and made herself comfortable as Thor opened up the toy box, letting Sylvie also look inside and find her toys. When they had gotten settled and started playing, Thor slipped out only for a split second, to use the restroom and rushed back. 

But of course, he came back to a mess, as apparently they had thought it was a very fun idea to get into the baby powder and dump it out. Everywhere. 

Thor sighed, “mischievous little monsters,” he muttered under his breath. Loki sneezed, sending a powdery cloud away from her. 

Thor did his best to clean them up without giving them a bath, and set them in the crib. “Loki, can you use a little magic to help me clean this up?” he asked. 

Loki didn’t respond, but she could tell she was in trouble, and started to cry. Sylvie quickly followed, but more in a pouty, angry, sort of way and Thor realized there wouldn’t be much he could do. “Shh shh, just… one minute and we’ll go play more… just… let me fix this, sisters,” he tried to reassure them. 

Thor slid the bars up just to contain them while he grabbed the vacuum. Of course, the loud noise did not help, but Thor just wanted the mess to be gone before Mobius got home. 

The vacuum didn’t catch everything, but it did enough for Thor to put it to the side and open a window to let the room air out. 

He sighed and took down the railings. He sat with the girls on the bed, bringing them close. “What do you two think? Is it naptime or shall we play more?” he asked as Loki sighed and put Thor’s arm around her so she could snuggle into his chest and Sylvie tried to sprawl out in his lap. After receiving no response, Thor got down and tried his best to make them comfortable with plushies and pillows, and blankets and pacifiers. They seemed calm until Thor slid the bars up, and then there became a problem. Loki and Sylvie both whined tearfully.

“Do you not want bottles?” Thor asked. 

That was enough to silence the two. 

He took a long time, as he read through the instructions, and when he came back, Sylvie was bracing against the rail of the crib, and reaching down to grab a stuffy which had fallen on the floor. Loki on the other hand, was playing with a couple crib toys, but she bounced up and down and babbled excitedly when Thor came in. 

Thor dropped the rails down again, and assumed he’d be holding the bottles like he had seen Mobius and Sylvie do with Loki, but no. Sylvie wanted to take hers herself, and because Sylvie did it, Loki felt like she needed to as well. 

“Well that’s nice,” Thor thought to himself, getting ready to hop down and play some video games while they napped. But Loki grabbed onto his shirt. “What’s wrong sister?” he asked. 

Loki let out a sad coo. 

“Would you like me to stay?” he asked. 

Loki nodded. 

“Alright. Fine,” Thor replied, he was tired anyway. He climbed in and put the bars up.

Sylvie laid on her back with her bottle while Loki cuddled into Thor’s arms.

“May I lie down?” Thor asked as the bars pressed into his back.

Loki nodded and Thor slowly maneuvered himself so he was comfortably resting on his back, with his head on a pillow next to Sylvie. Loki laid on her belly on top of Thor. 

Thor had been a bit annoyed with the littles, but as he felt the warmth of the two press into him, he had softened and felt some sort of paternal instinct arise in him, feeling the need to protect and care for them. A grin spread across his face as he looked between the two little girls next to them, especially as Sylvie glanced at him out of the corner of her eye while drinking from her bottle. She kicked her legs in the air absently as she did so. 

Thor tried not to laugh or squirm at the noise of Loki suckling on her bottle right next to his ear. It was an odd noise that he was not used to, but her little snuffles and the rise and fall of her breathing against his chest convinced him to stay still, stroking her hair as he noticed Sylvie’s tiny kicks getting lower and slower before stopping entirely. 

They fell asleep quickly. 

When Mobius came home, he was alarmed to find the house silent. He burst into the nursery and was visibly relieved to find all three Asgardians asleep. He smiled at how peaceful they all looked. Sylvie still had the nipple of her bottle in her mouth instead of a pacifier, and Thor was supporting Loki on his chest, the baby girl had her arms wrapped around his neck and her bottle was about to fall out of the crib, sandwiched between the mattress and the bars as she sucked on a pacifier next to her older brother’s ear. 

Mobius reached for the bottle to take it out before it could be broken or lost. Sylvie opened one eye and Mobius lifted her out of the crib, too.

She babbled about her day. 

“Thor and Loki are still sleeping,” he told her as he brought her out to the main area. 

When he had planned today, and even this morning, he had believed Sylvie would do what she normally did, and feel older by the end of the day. He had kind of hoped she would be able to help Thor out, but it looked like he had survived fine with the two littles. 

Sylvie chewed on her triceratops and stared at Mobius expectantly. “What’s up?” he asked her. 

“Dada!” she bounced, reaching out to him. 

Mobius smiled and leaned down onto her level before covering his face with his hands. 

Sylvie gasped and smiled giddily. 

“Peek-a-boo!” he said. 

Sylvie giggled. “Peebaboo!” she mimicked. 

Mobius did it again. “Peek-a-boo!” 

Sylvie moved from sitting criss-cross to sitting on her knees. 

This time, when Mobius covered his face, he kept his hands over his face for longer. “Can you find daddy? Where did he go?” 

Sylvie looked around and then grinned before reaching up and grabbing his hands, pulling them gently from his face. 

“Peek-a-boo!” he said. Sylvie fell backward with a roar of laughter. 

The noise of Sylvie’s little squeal woke Loki up. 

The feeling of the little stepping on his ribs, in turn, woke up Thor. “Little sister, what’s going on?” he asked. 

Loki didn’t answer, so Thor paused and listened for a moment, hearing Mobius playing the “this little piggy” game with Sylvie. “Oh, is your daddy home?” he asked. 

Loki looked down at him with a grin. 

Thor got up and removed the side, before hopping down and walking to the door of the nursery. He turned around as he realized his little sister wasn’t next to him. 

“Are you big enough to walk?” He asked as Loki sat on the ledge of the crib.

Loki nodded, but unsurely. She put her feet on the ground cautiously and Thor squatted down to encourage her to walk to him. Loki waddled across the room and when she got to Thor, the big god picked her up. “Look at you, taking your first steps,” he smiled. 

Loki simpered as she was hugged and brought into the living room. 

“Well, how was it? Still want to babysit?” Mobius asked. 

Thor grinned. “I think we had a good time,” he said as he set Loki down in the playpen, she was chewing on her thumb so he replaced it with a pacifier. He used “good time” as a way to say “well, no one died. So I guess it went okay.”

“Sorry I didn’t prepare you more, I assumed Sylvie would be able to fill you in. That’s my fault,” Mobius apologized both to Thor and Sylvie, “Yeah, it was all daddy’s fault,” he repeated, baby-talking to Sylvie and squishing her little face. She giggled. 

“Oh, they were both very helpful and informative,” Thor said, “but we did run into a few bumps,” he admitted. 

“Oh?”

“I left for a couple seconds to use the amenities and they got into the baby powder… I tried to clean it up, but the stuff got everywhere. And the nappies on them were the only ones I could find.” 

“Are we really out?” Mobius asked. He excused himself to go check, and sure enough, nothing besides Sylvie’s cloth swim diaper. “I could’ve sworn we had another case back there…” he said, rubbing the back of his head thoughtfully. He checked the diaper bags that got dropped off with them at daycare. One left for each of them. That would last them through a short trip to Mulsby’s market. 

Unfortunately, as Thor and Mobius cleaned up the mess in the other room and prepared the double stroller, Sylvie realized she was about to make another. She looked to Loki for help, but she seemed to be too busy with her toys. The normally older girl leaned against the side of the playpen for support while Loki kept playing with some wooden animals. “Daddy!?” she urgently whined. 

Mobius ran back into the room and kneeled beside her, “Hey, sweetheart, what’s wrong?” 

She looked very upset, “Um!” she said, trying to come up with the words. 

Loki turned to see what had happened and immediately understood why Sylvie was upset. “Seevee mess,” she said. 

Sylvie made a sour face at Loki. “No!” she responded. 

Well, she wasn’t lying. She hadn’t made a mess yet, but her stomach was heavily considering it and she didn’t care for the idea much. 

Mobius still sat on the couch, he pet her hair while she kept uncomfortably leaning against the fencing. “Be honest with daddy, do you have to go?” he asked. 

Sylvie slowly nodded. 

“Do you want to try to use the big girl potty?” he asked. 

Sylvie considered and then disappointedly shook her head. She was much too small for that. 

“Alright, so go and then we’ll get you cleaned up and we’ll go to the store. Sound good?” 

Sylvie nodded but it didn’t seem like she was listening, as she rocked back and forth on her knees and looked very focused on something and making an occasional little grunt noise. 

Loki stuck out her tongue in hyperbolic disgust, and shifted her attention to Thor. While Mobius took Sylvie to get cleaned up, the pair played simple games with her like “what’s that color?” and “Can you crawl to big brother?”. Loki didn’t like the crawling one, though, refusing to do it, and found it rather demeaning, a little bit of her big kid brain showing through. 

“It’s no fun, is it?” Mobius asked as he carried Sylvie back into the room. She looked vaguely distraught. “No, it isn’t. But you behaved so well for your first time! No tantrum or anything.”

Sylvie nodded, the praise made her feel much better. 

Mobius turned his attention to Thor and Loki.

Loki was showing Thor her garbage truck and running it over all her toys.

“Are we ready to go?” Mobius asked. 

Loki looked up and smiled before making grabby hands. 

Mobius picked her up in his opposite arm while Thor took the stroller down to the car.

hi! yes i can! glad to see people liked my last fic so much, hope this is as fun. enjoy <3

part 2 to this fic

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

'you walked in on them?' lorelai exclaimed, shocked but amused.

luke sighed. 'yes.'

'and then you just closed the door? walked out?'

'yes.'

lorelai laughed evilly. 'that's hilarious. did you talk to him about it?'

'nope.'

'you just pretended it didn't happen?'

'yup.'

she sighed at the lack of interesting conversation. 'jesus mr monotonus, save some syllables for the rest of us.'

he pulled a face. 'i'm good, thanks. i would offer you some more coffee but that would result in you sitting here and asking me about this for another half an hour, so please, feel free to leave.'

lorelai pulled a face back, and threw a few dollar bills out of her jeans pocket onto the counter before picking up her handbag and putting on her coat.        'of my own free will and because i so desperately want to go back to the inn, i am leaving.'

'see you later.'

'that you will,' she said mysteriously, walking towards the door but hoping for a reaction.

luke looked up, exasperated and slightly fed up, from the coffee pot he was stirring. 'what?'

lorelai stopped and excitedly walked back to counter, sitting back in the seat she had vacated only seconds ago. 'well i thought,' she began, dragging out the last syllable. 'we could go out tonight, with y/n and jess.'

he pretended to think for a moment before confidently answering. 'nope.'

‘ugh, come on!’

‘there are countless other things i would rather do than hang out with my nephew and his girlfriend.’

‘and me!’

‘don’t make it worse.’

‘luke! it’ll be fun! it’ll be nice to all hang out together, like a little, slightly dysfunctional, family!’

‘you are aware that she isn’t your daughter, right?’

‘pot-ay-to, pot-ah-to,’ lorelai huffed. ‘do you want to come or not?’

luke once again thought for a moment, pretending as always to be irritated by her. he almost never was. ‘yes, i’ll come. good luck getting jess on board though.’

‘haha, that is where you're wrong my friend,’ she grinned. ‘i firmly believe he’ll follow her wherever she goes like a lost puppy dog. have you seen the way her watches her? adoration, love, lust, intense adolescent sexual desir-’

luke held up a hand. ‘that is plenty, thank you. i’m coming, he’ll come, whatever. please leave now.’

‘bye, stud.’

it was a few hours after you’d bumped into lorelai on the way to see jess and she’d invited you out, and you were now walking up to the black, white and read movie theatre where jess was waiting for you. to be honest, you hadn’t talked much since the incident at luke’s yesterday; he came over that night but didn’t stay long. now he stood, casually cool as ever, leaning against the brick wall by the entrance with a book in one hand and lit cigarette in the other. he hadn’t seen you coming yet, so you just stopped for a moment and watched him; he was the type of person you could just silently admire and never get bored. still, you often tired of not being close to him. 

as you approached him, jess held up a hand as to wave but forgetting his hands were full. you returned the awkward gesture whilst he took a final drag of his cigarette and stubbed it out under his boot. the book, which you could now see was a collection of poems, found it’s way back into the back pocket of his jeans where it apparently lived.

‘hey mr caulfield,’ you smiled. a little joke you’d made the first time you’d met, it annoyed him so much you decided to make it stick.

‘hey trouble,’ he replied, rolling his eyes and planting a kiss on your forehead. you fell into him as he snaked his arms around your body.

‘i am liking this outfit on you,’ he flirted, fingering the hem of your short skirt. it was new but quickly becoming a fast favourite, soft brown corduroy embroidered at the waistband with delicate flowers. you paired it with a deep violet fitted camisole top and jess’s stolen leather jacket. stolen from jess, that was- though could you ever be really sure?

‘thank you,’ you smiled. ‘new jacket, very expensive.’

‘oh yes, i’m sure,’ he purred before kissing you. he tasted like dark chocolate and coffee, and smelled like old books and cigarette smoke. when he kissed you, everything else in the world faded away as if you were the only people to ever exist. unfortunately, you weren’t.

‘heyyy lovers!’ lorelai sang eagerly. jess reluctantly pulled away from you, leaving your warmed lips now exposed to the nippy late-autumn air. ‘you ready to get this party started?’

‘sure,’ you replied with a gentle smile. luke and jess exchanged similarly perturbed looks. ‘what movie are we seeing, lor?’

‘beetlejuice.’

‘charming,’ jess commented off-handedly.

you turned to him with a bemused smile. ‘you don’t like beetlejuice?’

‘no, no. it’s fine. it’s a weird movie but its pretty good i guess.’

‘damn straight, now let’s go and get a seat,’ lorelai chimed in, ending the conversation.

the four of you entered the movie theatre to see it was empty, as it usually was on any night that wasn’t saturday. kirk welcomed you in in his usual odd manner and passed over a bucket of over-priced popcorn with your drinks. luke passive-aggressively threw the money on the counter before joining you all on the comfy couch in front of the screen- if you didn't sit on the coveted red sofa at the BWR it wasn't even worth going. jess sat beside you, with lorelai on your other side and luke on the end. she gave the two of you a little space, but luke maintained a watchful eye even through the opening credits.

when he thought you might be safe, jess placed a hand on your bare thigh. you knew this move too well, though it was usually played more privately. you allowed yourself to indulge in the feeling of his fingers teasingly tracing up and down your silken skin.

luke cleared his throat. the hand beneath your skirt retracted slightly but didn’t back down.

you looked up to jess, who was facing the screen with a cheeky gleam in his eye. in your opinion, that was possibly the sexiest he ever looked; when he knew he was causing a wet spot in your underwear. typical teenage-boy ego.

his finger began to trace the lacey fabric of your underwear, and you involuntarily inhaled sharply. 

this time jess’s hand fully drew back, just in time to inconspicuously run through his hair as lorelai and luke both turned their heads.

‘you ok y/n?’ lorelai asked with a telling smile. she always knew. like a sixth sense for juvenile disobedience.

‘yes, fine,’ you replied quickly. ‘just almost spilled my drink.’

‘so clumsy,’ jess observed, hiding a smirk.

‘so articulate,’ you responded with a subtle elbow in his side.

luke suspiciously narrowed his eyes at the pair of you, then you all averted your eyes back to the almost finished movie. jess snickered quietly, earning another elbow in the side.

lorelai leaned over to you and whispered in your ear. ‘love birds. i know inappropriate teenage behaviour when i see it.’

you turned crimson and looked pointedly at her. she shot you an audacious, dramatised wink. 

‘lorelai!’ you hushed, making her giggle like a naughty child.
