My Beautiful Boy <3

╔═════════✦═════════╗

Pairing - Eddie Munson x Male reader

Requested - No

Warnings - None, just fluff

A/N - Changing up my format a bit, didn't really like the look of it before, plus this gives me space to add warnings.

╚═════════✦═════════╝

Being gay in Hawkins was risky, to say the least. Say the wrong thing or flirt with the wrong person and you could be putting your life on the line. Luckily, you were now mainly in the clear, only having to keep your relationship on a low profile in public and hidden from judging eyes.

You had met your now boyfriend in your senior year, in your shared fourth-period chemistry class. He had strutted into class on that first day and plopped down next to you. Eddie still swears up and down that you're the sole reason he passed chemistry that year, but he was trying really hard so you think credit goes to both of you.

You graduated that year, but even with your help, Eddie still got held back a second time. He was honestly more than a little devastated he didn't get to walk the stage with you, but you promising to be there for him when he finally does graduate, comforted him.

The two of you didn't actually start dating until the summer after you graduated. You had been working a job with Steve and Robin at the local Family Video. Eddie popped in for visits and occasionally on your breaks to drop you off some lunch when you forgot your own. The mutual pinning didn't go unnoticed by Robin. She pushed you to ask him out, and so did Steve, though with significantly more annoyance in his tone, once he eventually figured out what was going on.

When you finally, finally, decided to take the leap of faith and ask him out, Eddie was ecstatic. He had literally gripped you by the shoulders to look you in the eye and say yes. His stupid grin and bright eyes from that day will forever be engraved in your memory.

And that leads you to here and now.

Laying in bed, late into the night, thinking of Eddie Munson and his stupid face. You could feel your cheeks ache a bit, which is how you realized you were unconsciously smiling at your thoughts, enough to make your muscles burn at the strain.

You're quickly startled out of your thoughts at a pattering knock at your window. You knew it was Eddie at the familiar rhythm he drummed every time he did this, sneaking over in the dead of night to visit.

You sit yourself up, walking over to the window, and indeed see your dork of a boyfriend smiling back at you. You unlock the window and slide it open, stepping back to let him in. He fumbles through the window, almost tripping over himself, but ending up catching himself. Once he is fully balanced again, he sticks his hands straight up into the air as if to "stick the landing" as he had explained before. He then dramatically bows, one hand on his chest and the other stuck out.

"Good evening, sire. As always, it's an honor to be in the presence of your darling face," he speaks, looking up at you through his lashes. You roll your eyes at the whole gesture but can't help the smile on growing your face.

"What the hell are you doing here, Munson?" You ask, though you already know the answer seeing as it's the same every time he comes.

"I missed you of course, why else? Now," he pauses, his hands now on his hips and a crooked grin on his face. "I believe there are some cuddles in order."

At this, he then walks over to you, scooping his arms under yours in a hug and walking you both back over to your bed in a weird penguin-like fashion. Your giggles fill the silence of the room as he drops back onto your bed with you coming down with him.

You eventually position yourselves where you're facing each other, his eyes closed and his hand resting gently on your hip with yours carding its way through his hair as you admire his face. He hums contently at the feeling of you scratching lightly at his scalp before you move your hand. You gently place your finger between his brows before tracing down the slope of his nose. His face twitches at the feeling, morphing into a small look of amusement and partial confusion as he peeks his eyes open to peer at you.

"What was that for?" He asks, barely above a whisper. You shrug and move your palm to rest on his cheek.

"I just think you're beautiful," Your words were spoken softly, thumb caressing his cheekbone as you look at him with pure adoration.

"Gasp, a compliment?! I'm touched." Though he plays it up, you can't help but smirk at the burning feeling of his cheek under your palm. Though you can't see his blush in the dark, you can definitely feel it. You slide your eyes shut, leaning closer to the boy in front of you and connecting your lips tenderly. You feel his grip on you tighten ever so slightly as your lips mold together. Nothing in your life has felt more right than this moment, right now.

You pull away from Eddie, opting to move closer to him, placing your face against his neck. You feel his arm glide from your hip to your back and you move your arm to his, pulling him closer to you. You place a feather-light kiss on the skin your mouth is touching before muttering three words.

"My beautiful boy." With that, you feel his grip on you tighten around you once more, before you drift off against him.

Ciao Adios

Summary: When you find your boyfriend cheating on you yo decide to expose him in the pettiest way you can think of.

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader (some Loki x Reader if you squint)

Word Count: 4k

Warnings: Cheating and cursing (I think that’s it?)

A/N: Hi! So this is my first time writing and posting anything here so if its terrible please tell me nicely :). This is some AU where everyone lives and all is happy ok? Also english is not my first language so I apologize in advance for any grammar or spelling mistakes. Anyway, if it turns out that some of you like it I think I’d be willing to do a part 2 if you like. Hope you enjoy it! <3. Btw, the gif is not mine so credit to whoever made it.

Crack. That’s the sound of your heart breaking, ripped to pieces in just a few seconds. And no, you were not exaggerating. Seeing your boyfriend kissing someone else while taking off their clothes would do that to a person. And in his office of all places.

How did you not see that coming? They had a lot in common and they did spend a lot of time together but you were just so naïve thinking that he was the most trust-worthy person ever that you looked the other way and believed him when he told you she was “just a friend”. 

Just a friend my ass you thought as you calmly walked to your room. No running, that would draw attention to you and you didn’t need that. No crying either, because once you started you wouldn’t be able to stop. Walking down the hallway and taking the elevator to your floor feels like it takes forever. 

Time is funny that way. It has that annoying tendency to slow down or speed up at the worst times. Like when you were in college and the clock seemed to literally stop, you would look at the time and it was 10:20 am and check again after what felt like half an hour for it to be 10:25 am. Or like when you are having fun with your friends at a club and you see it’s 12:30 but when you look again a few minutes later it’s 2:40. Right now it feels like the former, time seems to have slowed down. Maybe Dr. Strange did something to it? No, that’s stupid, he wouldn’t play with time that way.

Finally the elevator pings open and you rush to your room. Well, it’s not only your room anymore. You share it with him and everything is a reminder of what you just saw. The art supplies on the desk by the window, the famous shield leaning against the wall near the door, the messy bed where you sleep together every night …

And every single thing brings tears to your eyes until finally, the dam breaks and you let the tears fall down. You bring your hand to your mouth to muffle a sob that brings you to your knees. Crying is the only thing you can do right now because your brain is stuck on a loop. All you can see is Steve kissing her, unbuttoning her shirt with one hand while the other grabbed her ass. And all you can hear are their moans, Sharon’s whimper when he touched her and his groan as he did so. 

And now you are full on crying and choking on air because that scene keeps replaying itself over and over no matter how much you want it to stop. And you do, Gosh you do because there is so much your heart can take and this is too much. It shatters you in more ways than one. It makes you question everything you thought you knew about him, about her, about your relationship and about yourself.

You remember the first time you met him. You were already in college and looking for an internship. Luckily you happened to be the niece of the one and only Pepper Potts. And who wouldn’t want to work near Earth's mightiest heroes? You sure did. You were studying journalism and communications in New York and working with the Avengers was the ultimate dream, one that was about to come true.

Your first day was uneventful, it consisted mainly of coffee runs, delivering files and passing messages along. That was until your third coffee run where you ran straight into a wall, well actually it wasn’t a wall but it felt like it. The coffee spilled everywhere, on your clothes and his, and you were going to fall on your butt if it wasn’t for him grabbing your arms to steady you. Imagine your surprise when you looked up to see Captain America himself.

And that’s the moment your love story started. It seemed like something straight out of a romantic comedy and you loved it. It started with flirting, a date and then another, him asking you to be his girlfriend and finally asking you to move in once you graduated. It felt like a fairytale.

Tony wasn't very happy about you and the Capsicle but he saw how happy you were so he tried to be happy too. Tony was your uncle even if you didn’t share any blood. Growing up you would visit your aunty Pepper in New York and he was always around, you even stayed at his house when Pepper and him had to work. So, you two became really close even before he became Iron Man and started dating your aunt. 

The same thing happened with Rhody. Your close relationship with Tony meant you were close to him too, seeing as he was one of the most important people in his life. Rhody treated you like his niece and was the only one he didn’t make fun of which you took as the ultimate compliment. 

So those three you knew before you started working at the compound and before Steve. But once you started working there you met the rest of the Avengers. Being Pepper and Tony's niece and Steve's girlfriend meant they all wanted to get to know you. 

You met Bruce Banner, the Hulk, and you became really close. But that was thanks to his close relation with Tony and all the time you spent with him working on his social media presence to make sure people saw him as more than just the green monster who smashes things. After a while of working there they promoted you and now you manage the Avengers social media.

Nat and Wanda became your best friends from the moment you met. You just clicked and hung out as much as possible, being the only girls on the team meant they were really happy to have another female added to the mix. As for Vision, he liked you because Wanda did, simple as that.

Bucky and Sam were the funniest people ever, their constant bickering always brought a smile to your face and they welcomed you with open arms. Happy that their friend had finally found someone to be with.

Thor and Clint were like the fun uncles you got to see every once in a while. The God of Thunder was like an excited puppy and would hug you till you couldn’t breath every time he came to Earth and Clint would joke around with you and FaceTime you when he was with his kids because they loved you (“best babysitter ever” that called you).

You met Peter when he started working for your uncle. He was a sweet kid and your love of memes, vines and pop culture made you instant friends. He would ask you for advice on girls and tell you science jokes.

But we all know not all fairytales have a happy ending and this one definitely didn’t. You’re feeling so many things at once. There’s anger, sadness, jealousy and something else you can’t put your finger on. You keep crying and are unable to move from your kneeling position on the floor. Checking the clock you realize you’ve been on the floor crying for an hour so you stand up.

Taking a shower seems like the best thing to do, your head is pounding and your face is all puffy. As you shower it hits you, that other feeling swirling around is inevitability. In a way you always thought he was too good for you, you always thought he would eventually get tired of you and trade you for someone else. 

It just hurt too much that it was her, the woman he shared so much with. The niece of Peggy Carter, his first love. An agent of S. H. I. E. L. D.  Someone who risked their life for the world like he did. Someone prettier. Someone better than you.

Yeah, you were definitely on a self-pity party. But you needed to be miserable for a while, to cry it all out, to hurt so that you could move on to the next stage of grief: anger. And when that came, there was no stopping you.

You weren’t a mean person, or a petty one. You gave everyone countless opportunities and forgave way too easily so you never really got angry. But when you did, when you said enough is enough, yeah, you better watch out. That could be the meanest bitch you ever met and she had no mercy.

So you got out of the shower, dried yourself and started getting ready. Tony was throwing yet another party about who knows what and you were not missing it. You liked parties, they were the perfect excuse for wearing pretty dresses and putting on make up. And tonight you were going all out. 

Your inner bitch was concocting a plan and you were going with it.

You hear the door open and prepare yourself to put on the best acting of your life. You take a deep breath and in the sweetest voice you can muster say: “Steve is that you babe?”

“Yeah doll it’s me” you hear him say. A few second later he pops into the bedroom and gives you a peck on the lips as you continue with your makeup.

“How was your day?” Steve asks as he takes off his clothes, probably to take a shower. “I missed you today, i went by your office but you weren’t there” he says with a small frown between his eyes. You could stare at his blue eyes forever but snap out of it when you remember what he did. 

“Oh not much, i left work earlier to get ready for tonight” you answer. Shit your work. You really did leave like that, but after tonight hopefully they’ll understand. “You should start getting ready, the party starts in thirty minutes”.

He smiles at you and tells you he’s going to take a quick shower before getting dressed. He goes to the bathroom and you feel like breaking the mirror but instead take a few deep breaths and remind yourself he’s getting what he deserves later on. With that in mind you finish applying you makeup and smile at yourself, you look good. Moving on to your hair you decide to do some loose waves and that’s it, you really don’t know how to make those complicated updos.

Steve gets out of the shower and starts putting on his suit. Men really do have it easier you think to yourself when you see all the work you had to do and he just showers and that’s it.

You take your dress out of the closet and admire it. It really is beautiful. It has a deep plunging neckline that shows a lot of cleavage and is skin tight with a slit on one side. The fact that it is silver with sequins makes it even better. Pepper helped you pick this dress. 

You put on the dress and admire yourself in the mirror. You look good. Behind you, you hear a whistle and turn around to see Steve watching you lust in his eyes. He comes closer and grabs you by the waist, pulling you to him.

“You look stunning” he says as he wets his bottom lip. “I can’t wait to take it off of you when we get back”. Lying cheating bastard.

“Can't wait” you lie as you wrap your arms around his neck and kiss him. This is just a kiss goodbye you tell yourself. One last kiss before he’s out of your life and probably runs to her. Tears threaten to fill your eyes but you hold them down. Not now.

You break the kiss when the need to breathe is too strong. Grabbing his hand you start walking towards the door and say: “Come on, we’re already late”.

——————————————————————————

The party had already started once you walk in and in true Tony fashion it is elegant and extravagant. Everyone is there: S. H. I. E. L. D. agents, the Avengers themselves, politicians and a few famous people. 

You and Steve walk to the bar and order drinks. A whiskey for him and a strawberry daiquiri for you, yes you are that basic but hey, it tastes awesome. He offers you his arm and with drinks in your hands you start looking for your friends. A lot of people stop you on the way, nobody wants to miss an opportunity to talk to Captain America.

One thing, or rather on person, catches your attention: Loki. He’s sitting on one of the cushions alone with a drink in his hand. It’s weird to see him there. Sure, he was redeeming himself for what he did in 2012 and Thor said he was doing better but he rarely left Asgard (he “hated mortals”) and when he did come to Earth it wasn’t for a party.

As if he could feel you staring he turns his head and locks his eyes with yours. You weren’t going to lie, he was gorgeous. He was incredibly tall, had those charming green eyes and was actually funny (but you’d never admit that to anyone). But you were in love with Steve and never saw him as anything more than Thor's hot brother. And everyone in the Avengers was hot so that’s not saying much.

You turn away from him and see Nat and Wanda on the dance floor and you tell Steve you’ll see him later and to go find his friends. He’ll need them after tonight you think to yourself. You greet the girls and start dancing with them, for a moment forgetting about what you saw today and putting Loki out of your mind.

The three of you decided to take a break and order some more drinks. Once at the bar Wanda orders for you and when your drinks arrive you go back to the dance floor. You spend the next few hours dancing, talking to your friends and pretending that nothing's wrong. Talking to Steve and pretending that nothing's wrong. Hugging Steve and pretending that nothing's wrong. Kissing Steve and pretending that nothing's wrong.

The fact that Sharon is at the party doesn’t help at all. When you see her talking or touching him you feel like you’re gonna lose it but you remain strong. You remind yourself of your plan and try to keep them out of your mind.

There’s a small stage at the far end of the room and you see your uncle Tony step on it and grab the microphone.

“Hello everyone and thank you for coming to another one of my amazing parties. I hope you are having a good time and taking advantage of the free bar over there” he points to the other side of the room and continues, “Now for what we have all been waiting for: karaoke! And yes, i want everyone to sing something because that’s the whole point of this. I'm looking at you Manchurian Candidate, you’re singing”.

With that he gets off the stage and passes the mic to Sam who decided to sing a Marvin Gaye song. He’s pretty good actually but you can’t fully concentrate on him because your mind is going a thousand miles an hour for what it’s going to happen later.

More people go up and sing their songs and you applaud when they’re done. Nobody is talking much, they're all too busy either laughing at the others performance, drinking or actually listening to the songs. You’re sitting with Steve to your right, Bruce to your left and the rest of the Avengers nearby. You’re your own little group.

It’s finally your turn and as you walk to the stage you can hear your friends whistling and cheering you on. Once you’re up on the stage you choose the song and start singing. 

Ask you once, ask you twice now

There's lipstick on your collar

You say she's just a friend now

Then why don't we call her?

So you wanna go home with someone

To do all the things you used to do to me

I swear, I know you do

Used to take me out in your fancy car

And make out in the rain

And when I ring you up

Don't know where you are

'Til I hear her say your name

Used to sing along when you played guitar

That's a distant memory

Hope she treats you better than you treated me, ha

As you continue singing you get more and more confident and take the mic. You walk off the little stage and over to your friends while dancing and you can see them smiling, clapping and having fun. They have no idea how much i mean all of this you think. You look at Steve and he’s completely oblivious. Good, you want to take him by surprise. You arrive at your little circle of friends and start singing the chorus.

I'm onto you, yeah you

I'm not your number one

I saw you with her

Kissing and having fun

If you're giving her all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you

Ciao adios, I'm done

Ciao adios, I'm done

Ciao adios, I'm done

You keep dancing and go back to back with Wanda who’s also singing along. You then turn to Nat and she grabs your hand and makes you do a little spin. 

After three, after four times

Why did I bother?

Tell me how many more times

Does it take to get smarter?

Don't need to deny the hurt and the lies

And all of the things you did to me

I swear, I know you did

And now you take her out in your fancy car

And make out in the rain

And when she rings you up

She know where you are

But I know differently

Now she sings along when you play guitar

Making brand new memories

Hope you treat her better than you treated me

You go up to Tony and he starts dancing around you busting out some dad moves. You laugh and keep on singing and dancing.

I'm onto you, yeah you

I'm not your number one

I saw you with her

Kissing and having fun

If you're giving her all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you

Ciao adios, I'm done (I'm done)

Ciao adios, I'm done (no, no, no, no)

Ciao adios, I'm done

If you're giving her all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you

Ciao adios, I'm done

And now you take her out in your fancy car

And make out in the rain

And when she rings you up

She know where you are

But I know differently

Now she sings along when you play guitar

Making brand new memories

Hope you treat her better than you treated me

You walk back to the stage as you sing and step up. You put the mic back into place and sing the last part of the song.

I'm onto you, yeah you

I'm not your number one

I saw you with her (with her)

Kissing and having fun (and fun)

If you're giving her all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you

Ciao adios, I'm done (I'm done)

Ciao adios, I'm done (you get on with your life, I'll get on with my life)

Ciao adios, I'm done

If you're giving her all of your money and time

I'm not gonna sit here wasting mine on you, yeah, you

Ciao adios, I'm done

When you’re done people are clapping and cheering and you look to your friends to see them all smiling. You look at everyone and make a little mock bow and when you straighten you see Loki sitting on the same couch as before. But this time he’s looking at you and he’s laughing, not smiling and cheering but actually laughing.

You look back at your friends and say “Thank you, thank you” with a smile on your face. You continue , “I wanted to dedicate this song to my boyfriend Steve” you point at him.

“In case it wasn’t clear enough, i wanted to tell you that i saw you with Sharon”. You could hear a pin drop. No one was talking and all eyes were on you. This is what you wanted, to humiliate him as much as he did you. And what better way to do it than publicly? Oh but you weren’t done.

You could see Steve's face going pale and nobody knew where to look, if at you or at him. Tony look ready to murder him as did Rhody, Pepper, Peter and Bruce. Thor, Clint and Vision looked shocked. But Bucky, Sam, Nat and Wanda looked guilty.

Your heart breaks a little more when you realize they knew. You can’t really blame Bucky and Sam for not telling you, they were Steve's friends after all. But you thought the girls were your friends, that they would have told you. Apparently you overestimated that friendship.

You keep on smiling and continue “So… I’m breaking up with you. Hope she was a good fuck and wasn’t uncomfortable with the fact that you were once in love with her aunt”. You do a dramatic pause and make a little disgusted face. “Anyway, if I’m lucky i´ll never see you again. Have a great life!”

And with that, you walk off the stage and make your way to your friends. Steve is rooted to the spot and his face is red with embarrassment. You walk up to him, look him straight in the eye and give him an evil smile. He gulps and opens his mouth as if he’s about to say something and then closes it. He does is two more times and still nothing comes out.

You turn to your group and look at Wand and Nat, who can’t seem to be able to look you in the eye. You sigh and say: “Who want enemies when they can have you as their best friends right?”. They look up then and start talking. Telling you how sorry they are and to please forgive them. You raise your hand to silence them and they do.

You go to your aunt and uncle who look like there should be smoke coming out of their ears and say: “I’m gonna stay in a hotel for the night, can’t stand to be here anymore”. Tony scrunches his eyebrows and look at you like you’re crazy.

“Hell no. You’re staying here. We can find him another room to sleep in but you’re not leaving. If anyone’s leaving is Mr. Star-spangled over there” he practically screams the last part as he points at Steve.  

You take a deep breath and hug him. It takes him by surprise but he puts his arms around you. “I appreciate it uncle Tony but i can’t stay at the compound, it just hurts too much” you say as you let go. Turning to your aunt you hug her as well and say: “Thank you for everything but I quit”.

The moment those words leave your mouth everyone starts talking at the same time telling you how crazy you are and to think about it. You just smile at them and tell them you already made up your mind. “I'm gonna go pack a bag and ask Happy to take me to a hotel nearby. Please make sure he doesn’t follow” you say as you point to a still red-faced Captain America. 

With that you turn around and leave. The room is silent for a few seconds before you hear your friends all screaming at Steve. You look around for a second and notice that Loki is staring at you with a smirk on his face. When you look him in the eye he raises his glass at you ant takes a sip. 

You give him a small smile and walk through the doors towards the elevator.

TaeJin Dynamics

We did dynamics for literally the rest of the vocal line (also we can call them the true maknae line? Lol) with my Vminkook series and so I decided to go ahead and throw Jin into the mix with my Maknae babies now. Vocal line is honestly so chaotic and they be WILDING together. Their stage dynamics and how they behave together? Insane. And the boundaries? Non existent. I love it! So be ready for Jin X Maknae line duo posts, I adore them!

Starting off with TaeJin because man, they really do be pushing those boundary lines and making me question them a little bit! One of my favorite duos! (Shhh I know i say this everytime, its not going to stop me from continuing to say it everytime.) And my normal warning. Do I think Taejin are in a romantic relationship? No. Could i be wrong? Yes. I personally don't see it. I am in love with them though. These are all my personal opinions. You are free to agree or disagree! And make sure you watch OG content to form all your own opinions

As always with BTS the lack of boundaries is extreme. I would say that TaeJin is definitely up there in the lack of boundaries. Their physical intimacy is zero boundaries, chaotic flirting and comfort. We see it in Jin offering Tae food straight from his mouth, the snuggling, Tae kissing Jin during run, Tae basically attacking Jin during their blanket kick part. They are always finding excuses to hold hands. Its the way that Tae was leaning all the way over Kookie during an interview just so he could rub at Jin's neck. We see it in the way they are always giggling or touching each other in the back during the end of DNA. We see it in the way they are way too comfortable flirting on stage. Oh my word do I feel like I am interrupting something sometimes. Pied Piper Taejin will forever be burned into my brain. So what and Dimple too, anytime they are next to each other on stage, they are flirting. Its the way Tae has wiped food off Jins mouth with his finger and then licked it. We see it in whatever was going on after the MAMA blood sweat and tears performance with TaeJin and all those wandering hands. We see it in the way they love to sing their duos together with their foreheads pressed against each other. I love it all!

Their emotional bond is beautiful. They love each other and support each other so much. Jin is honestly the sweetest hyung all these guys could have ever asked for. We see their bond when Tae said "I like Jin hyung best." We see it in Jin's unwavering support for Tae's solo work and how he hypes his music up every chance he is given. Like when he was asked what b-side BTS track he would want to see a MV for and he said Inner Child. We see it in the way Tae goes to Jin for advice and happiness. We see it when Jin said that what he enjoys most is when Tae sends him random selcas (please share Jin). We see it in how Jin always tries everything he can to make Tae smile and laugh as much as he possibly can. We see it during Jin's birthday when Tae had all his friends call Jin to tell him Happy Birthday because he wanted him to feel loved and special. And from the way Jin gushed about it, you can tell it definitely worked. We can even see it when they fight and how they make up.

The TaeJin fight is pretty iconic at this point, but you can go watch it if you haven't yet in their YouTube Documentary, Burn the Stage: episode 4. I'll do a quick recap, but I recommend seeing it all yourself if you haven't yet. (Imagine me chanting watch original content here please) Basically the fight was over the Spring Day choreography. TaeJin has a small choreo part they do together on stage and afterwards they run back to join the rest of the group. During rehearsals, it didn't apparently go as well as it could have. Tae was upset and trying to tell Jin to get to his next mark faster. Jin said he couldn't and cracked a joke, which made Tae more upset that he wasn't being taken seriously. It escalated, Jin got angry and upset, Tae got angry, upset and near tears. RM eventually came and broke it up and had them table the conversation because they were due on stage to perform in 10 minutes. He checked on them and helped them. It was stressful, both were angry and Tae had been crying, but RM got them all through the night. They all got together at the hotel afterwards to talk through it more.

All of BTS joined the conversation for a bit, helping them take a few steps back from the intensity of the situation and helping each other understand both sides. Eventually they left and gave them a few minutes alone to talk it through. Goodness it was emotional. Tae let things go because Jin was his hyung and he understood that he needed to be more respectful than he had been when he brought up concerns with him. Jin understood about what boundaries he could push with Tae and couldn't. Same with Tae. They accepted what things were okay for joking about, what wasn't. They were understanding of short comings during performances and how they could communicate better in the future. In the end, this fight I think brought them even closer together even if it caused them both some tears. They are closer, recognize some of their emotional boundaries better, work better together and communicate even better. It was, in a way, good for them. Even if watching it sent me through a serious emotional Rollercoaster with my own teary eyes.

Seriously Tae, where was that hand going at the end of that MAMA BST performance 👀😂

Their bond is one of the sweetest. It's caring, chaotically loving, encouraging and special. Do I personally see anything romantic here? No. Do I see plenty of questionable moments? Absolutely. Lol these guys are all crazy and cute and so sweet. I love this bond and I love the both of them. I love when they harmonize and take care of each other. And I especially love that they allow us to witness how special their bond is together!

Ending this off with a reminder that these are my own personal opinions, you are always free to agree or disagree with anything I write here. Just keep it respectful. I adore TaeJin and loved writing this all out. Which duo should I do next?

Thank you! 💜💜

A meta on Mimi and her character

Today’s spotlight character is Mimi! While the Adventure characters are all written to subvert character stereotypes (no, really), I feel this is particularly enhanced for Mimi, whose surface demeanor and the first impression you get from her suggest an almost opposite character to whom she actually is.

Disclaimer before we continue: While not to the same extent as Daisuke, Mimi’s disposition and personality have some significant differences in the American English dub compared to the original Japanese. As usual, this is not meant to be any particular comment about the dub’s changes, but simply that if you’ve only seen that dub, are reading this post, and are thinking “that doesn’t seem right?” that would probably be why.

Mimi’s family background and attitude prior to Adventure

Like with any of the other Adventure characters, understanding Mimi’s personality and why she acts the way she does is most easily done by starting with her family background.

We first meet Mimi’s family in Adventure episode 35.

There is a lot to unpack with only this scene alone, so let’s get started!

Mimi’s family is quite well-to-do. They’re not filthy rich or anything, but they’re well-to-do enough for Mimi’s father to work freelancer (he works in music). This means that Mimi grew up with a fairly “comfortable” life, probably getting pretty much anything she asked for -- in other words, she’s spoiled. It also explains why she’s actually pretty impeccably polite to everyone -- she adheres very firmly to honorifics when speaking to both elders and younger people, and never, ever speaks roughly or aggressively, because her parents have basically been raising her like a “lady of the house” (ojousama) or princess. (She does use casual-form Japanese, but she never lets up on the honorifics.)

They’re very open-minded. We learn in this episode that Mimi’s bizarre food tastes in liking natto on her eggs with sugar (from Adventure episode 6) most likely come from her mother, Satoe, cooking things like kimchi fried rice with whipped cream and strawberries. In other words, the family is very into the idea of “unconventional and strange” and has no qualms about it.

While Mimi in 02 is portrayed as liking practically any kind of fashion aesthetic imaginable, both her room and the overall decor of the apartment suggest that “in-your-face cute” is the generally favored one.

Mimi’s family is also extremely affectionate. They smother each other in lovey-dovey words, her father actively likes Satoe’s weird cooking ideas, and it’s a household where everyone seems to dote on and mutually love and support each other (Mimi’s parents are almost embarrassingly lovey-dovey) without restraint.

The result is that Mimi ends up “spoiled sweet” -- she’s pampered and used to a comfortable life where everyone dotes on her, but because of the family dynamic being so built on “affection” and “open-mindedness”, she also never develops a streak towards condescension or malice.

What does that mean, you might ask?

Mimi in Adventure

A lot of people remember Mimi by the fact that she was “whining a lot” in the early stages of Adventure, and the fact that she’s a “girly-girl” with some of the associated stereotypes. As a result, one may be surprised to hear that her behavior is actually supposed to be mostly representative of an average child in her situation, and she’s often described in press materials as “someone who can befriend anyone” or “someone who can get along with anyone”. Even her official website profile talks about how pretty much everyone considers her likeable.

This may seem difficult to believe at first, but you might actually notice a pattern when it comes to her “complaining” -- it pretty much always boils down to one of the following, or something along these lines:

I’m scared

I’m tired

I don’t like this/I don’t want that

I want a bath/bed/food/(some other home comfort)

I want to go home

In other words, Mimi is basically reacting like an average child would when thrown into another world out of nowhere! All of her complaints are out of low tolerance and high sensitivity -- all of these scary and uncomfortable things around her are making her feel bad, and she’s not hesitating to make that clear with her words.

However -- and this is very important -- these are all things she’s saying specifically because she’s now in a dangerous, unfamiliar situation in another world. All of these things are things she says defensively, because she’s sensitive to being uncomfortable or hurt, but she is also never aggressive towards others. In completely normal situations -- ones where all she’s doing is socializing at school -- it’s not hard to believe that she would actually be one of the nicest and most considerate people on the planet and that she would be instantly likeable to anyone she meets. Why? Because she lacks condescension or malice. She’s a very nice person who, if not for being under heavy stress, would never step on anyone’s toes. Even during those early episodes of Adventure, whenever there’s “down time” and they’re not in an uncomfortable situation or being chased by something, she goes back to being polite and respectful of others (remember: she’s one of the most adherent to honorifics among the cast), and is perfectly kind and agreeable with them.

As much as she may sometimes get demanding during the early episodes of Adventure, she also doesn’t expect her peers to cater to her nor does she look down on them. One of the biggest examples comes from the Adventure novel:

Mi–chan was pointing at the front of the bus, where a boy wearing a long–sleeved orange shirt was about to get off. Even Mimi knew who he was. They hardly ever talked together, but he was her classmate, Koushiro Izumi. Mi–chan wanted them to look at what Koushiro was carrying on his back – a wireless laptop. “Isn’t he so weird for bringing that all the way to camp?” Mi–chan sneered with mocking laughter, but Mimi didn’t laugh. She simply didn’t find any reason to.

In a situation where people are mocking this weirdo kid for bringing his laptop to camp, Mimi “sees no reason” to look down on him. To her, what’s the point? It’s not fun to be malicious towards others, and she sees no benefit in dunking on him. Hence, because she’s actually very polite and open-minded towards others, and doesn’t see any reason to be mean, she’s not mean, and so you can see why everyone would like her -- after all, she’s not only bright and cheerful, she’s also polite and kind! Who wouldn’t like such a nice person?

Mimi’s first “focus episode” is Adventure episode 6, and we already see a lot of these traits in action. Mimi gets to see the other kids making absolute fools of themselves under Monzaemon’s brainwashing, but the most she has to say is just observing that they seem to not be having fun, and being worried about their well-being. Once she finds out the truth behind what he did to them, she gets extremely angry on her friends’ behalf -- she actually calls them her “friends”, despite them barely knowing each other at this point!

And then when the Numemon step in to fight for her, despite her initially having been turned off by them (mainly because they make her uncomfortable, both by indulging in literal poop around her presence and by invading her personal space by flirting with her), she actually almost breaks down in tears over them!

What this all means is that Mimi’s “high sensitivity” also translates to something else: Mimi has extremely high empathy for others. In terms of being “sensitive”, she’s also sensitive to how other people feel. She worries about others’ welfare constantly, even when they’re poop-throwing slime monsters who had just flirted with her, or near-stranger classmates who just happen to have been thrown onto this adventure with her whom she barely knows. That’s why she’s so nice to other people -- she feels for them, and she constantly empathizes with others’ emotions, so that’s why she’s never rude to others nor does she step on their toes.

It’s also why, even after Koushirou rubs her the wrong way and momentarily causes her to lash out at him for being insensitive about her feelings in Adventure episode 10, she also never seems to hold a grudge against him thereafter (especially since, for as much as he was acting pretty frustrating, she understands he was doing it out of good intentions). In fact, Mimi is pretty much incapable of holding a grudge at all. (More on this later!)

Mimi’s most famous incident of “succumbing to her vices” is Adventure episode 25, when she ends up letting the Geckomon and Otamamon pamper her while stringing along and refusing to do the job they’d needed her for in the first place (singing to wake TonosamaGeckomon). Let’s go over what led to Mimi getting in this situation:

Mimi was basically at her limit. She had been in the Digital World for what had been implied to be months. Going that long without her bath or soft bed or comfort, it’s understandable that she finally let stress overcome her and succumbed to her vices in full. This is basically Mimi at one of her worst possible breaking points, not her most of the time.

Taichi, Jou, and their partners never gave her a very good reason why they should leave (Taichi never explained the problems going on in the real world, nor that he’d even taken a pit stop there) and now, for all she knows, they’re trapped in the Digital World forever, so when she sees an offer to make it all stop hurting, she naturally takes it -- especially when the people telling her to leave aren’t giving her any reason why except that she should.

Even despite all that, Mimi has a complete mental breakdown after her tantrum ends up throwing everyone in jail, dreaming about how everyone must hate her now and how even the Geckomon and Otamamon are tiring of her (the fact this pops up in her dream implies that she’d had a feeling this was coming for a while now). Sora comes to give her a little encouragement, but even she says that Mimi already really knows what she should be doing now. Mimi ends up bringing everyone out to apologize to them and fulfill her duty before the night is even over.

So let’s recap: Mimi is so empathetic and worried about other people’s feelings and what they think of her that, even in arguably one of the worst mental health crashes we’ve ever seen her have on screen, she still breaks down at the prospect of disappointing everyone and making them hate her to the point she immediately recognizes how far she’s fallen and takes it back before the night’s even over. That is how much other people, ranging from Taichi to a crowd of Digimon she’s only vaguely acquainted with, matter to her.

The full “payoff” for this episode in terms of the light of the Crest of Purity glowing and achieving Lilimon evolution does not happen until Adventure episode 35.

It is interesting for a lot of reasons, mainly because it involves all of the events happening in response to things that don’t sound very virtuous on their face (early in the episode, Mimi insensitively comments on Palmon being “bad taste”, and later in the episode she starts considering the Digimon tormenting others unforgivable).

The “Crest of Purity” (sometimes “Innocence”) is something that’s often been difficult to translate, mainly because the easiest words that come to mind often have other unwanted implications, but the real point of it is that, again, Mimi is lacking in malice. The way she talks to Palmon at the beginning of the episode indicates she really didn’t think Palmon would take it seriously (she even urges her to “not think too much into it”), only to find out at the end of the episode that she sort of kind of did. (Trust me, she’s very sorry about it.) The other thing is that, when she starts protesting at the Digimon at the end of the episode, she’s doing this specifically because she’s weeping on behalf of all of the tormented civilians (including her family) that are being caught in the crossfire. She’s so constantly empathetic towards other people that seeing other people hurt, regardless of how well she knows them, just eats her inside. So for her, those who cause that kind of suffering are unforgivable, because they’re inflicting that pain on others.

This is also what leads to her breakdown near the three-quarters mark of the series. Like with how she eventually came to empathize with the Numemon who fought on her behalf, Mimi holds no grudge against Scumon and Chuumon despite them having flirted with her earlier, and Chuumon taking a hit for her hurts her the deepest among all of the other kids. Because Mimi is so empathetic towards others, every death starts tearing away further until she finally can’t take it anymore. 

Mimi is fundamentally the kind of person who hates fighting, and even from day one she’d never liked it -- her way of “encouraging” fighting was more like hoping that Palmon (or her evolved forms) could survive. If she wanted to win, it was in the sense of wanting everyone to Not Die; she was never belligerent. But now that the actual body count of people she considers friends is rising, she associates fighting so deeply with that body count that the pain gets to her, and the last straw breaks in Adventure episode 45 in the form of two people she considers friends, Taichi and Yamato, getting in a fight. Everyone around her is hurt. Everyone around her is pain. The naturally empathetic Mimi feels all of this, and she thus decides to pull back from the fighting.

Mimi being such a firm pacifist does have its benefits -- not only does it mean that she holds no grudge against Ogremon in Adventure episode 46 and bid for treating his wounds even though Jou (understandably!) is initially more skeptical because of how he’d initially tried to kill them, she also creates a major dent in Ogremon’s “fated rival” philosophy towards Leomon by forcing him to question: so what if you do defeat your rival? Then what? What’s the point of fighting? Does it actually make you feel better to try and prove your strength this way? (Even Leomon, for all he’s portrayed as noble, is still shown to have a petty investment in his conflict with Ogremon in the following episode.) Ogremon tries not to think too hard about it, but Mimi questioning “what he would do if Leomon were gone” becomes a question he really does have to confront when Leomon dies in the next episode...

...which is also an important learning lesson for Mimi herself as well: fighting may cause collateral damage, but not fighting doesn’t help things either, because when less-than-virtuous forces are at work, casualties will happen either way. In fact, it’s even worse to be a sitting duck, because now you’re just doing nothing when people die right in front of you. Which is a lesson that Jou had wanted to tell her earlier, but didn’t know how to describe to her in words because of his own complicated feelings:

What he wanted to tell her was this: that he didn’t see any likelihood of co-existing with the Dark Masters, and that they had no other choice but to fight them. Even a neutral country like Switzerland had a military. They would be invaded by enemy countries without one. It would be nice and ideal if they used the nonviolent resistance approach as Ghandi did. But that didn’t mean it was okay to just be killed without lifting a finger… But not even he could find a good answer.

However, Mimi is still a pacifist. Even if she finally understands that fighting is necessary, that should not mean that she should now force herself to become someone gung-ho and enthusiastic about it. This is why, in Adventure episode 50, Jou contemplates different ways they can productively contribute to the fight -- because Mimi should not be obligated to personally fight herself when it’s not in her fundamental nature, and Jou personally does not feel that he’s very good at it. But Jou, having put some thought into “one’s own path”, realizes that literal physical violence fighting isn’t the only way to be “part of the fight” -- and so while Jou starts to realize that his unique role is becoming someone who can be a capable healer and doctor for those who are wounded, Mimi has her own talents that she can use to bring Digimon and other allies together. Because Mimi is a kind and charismatic person whom everyone finds likeable and would be willing to come along with, and since she holds no grudges against anyone, nobody would hold any grudges against her, so she’s perfect for the role of “bringing people together for the sake of what they want to protect”.

And she does. Adventure being a series that respects the contributions of those who don’t necessarily participate by direct fighting, Mimi’s rallying together of the Digimon becomes key to saving everyone in Adventure episode 52, and the fact that everyone’s together in the end makes for a great group photo.

Speaking of the final episode, in case the point hadn’t been driven home enough that Mimi’s the most empathetic and emotionally sensitive of the entire cast, the series famously ends on her very emotionally compromised farewell with Palmon. Of course, Palmon’s the one who kind of initiated it (she’s the one who initially refuses to see Mimi because she’s too emotionally compromised), but, after all, the series ends on Mimi being so frazzled about it that she loses her hat.

Mimi in 02 and beyond

As with the other Adventure kids, Mimi’s character arc continues in 02, and we learn a lot about her before she even makes her first personal appearance!

Firstly, we learn that Mimi’s moved to America. The in-universe reason is that it’s for her father’s work...or, at least, ostensibly so, because 02 episode 40 implies that the actual reason was that her parents wanted them to be away from Digimon incidents. (Which, of course, didn’t last very long.) The meta reason for Mimi moving, however, very likely has to do with the fact that 02 involves a subplot of Chosen Children appearing all over the world, and Mimi’s character involves an innate talent for bringing people together.

We learn in Two-and-a-Half Year Break that Mimi moved in 2001, only one year before 02′s events, and eventually got caught in the 9/11 incident -- where she met a number of other American Chosen Children in New York and, now much stronger of heart since the events of Adventure, was able to help them in the recovery efforts, despite there being a language barrier. With this, and the fact she’s shown at a huge party in 02 episode 14: they’re not kidding when they say Mimi can become friends with pretty much anyone. Even going to an entirely different country and dealing with a language and cultural barrier, Mimi is such a naturally kind and compassionate person that she immediately doesn’t have any problem fitting in. (Because, really, someone that level of kind and friendly is hard to dislike.) And in a world where international solidarity between Chosen Children is getting more and more important, that is a very valuable role to have.

The other thing we find out early about Mimi in 02 episode 2 is that Sora catches on that Miyako is a lot like Mimi, based on the fact that Miyako also is empathetic and has an aversion to fighting. And Sora’s completely right, because when Mimi does come into the picture, the similarities -- and differences -- between her and Miyako say a lot about both characters.

When Mimi arrives in Japan in 02 episode 6 (for her cousin’s wedding), she and Miyako immediately get along with each other, and Miyako instantly role-models her, to the point of claiming her as an honorary older sister (despite already having older sisters herself!). It’s not surprising; Mimi and Miyako are both very bright and cheerful people, and Miyako even shares the background of being slightly pampered by her family (although presumably more due to her being the youngest of several siblings). Mimi, for her part, continues her trend of being likeable and fond of pretty much everything (including even her beloved tuna-mayo onigiri that she hadn’t had for so long), and is perfectly happy to be tight with Miyako.

The Digitamamon incident in 02 episode 14, however, adds an extra layer into why Miyako idolizes Mimi so much besides Mimi just being cool in general: Mimi is kind, forgiving, mature, and incapable of holding a grudge -- to the point her pacifistic tendencies kick in even when Digitamamon gets hit by a Evil Spiral and she refuses to fight him, despite him literally starting to beat her up. Again, Mimi came to understand the inevitability of having to fight back in Adventure, but Digitamamon is, to her, a friend who was trying his hardest to turn over a new leaf -- so, naturally, she tries to see if she can appeal to his heart instead. Miyako, on the other hand, is on the opposite extreme -- she’s so judgmental about her poor first impression with Digitamamon that, despite fully knowing well that Evil Spirals cause their victims to lose their ability to have reason, keeps trying to use it as evidence that Digitamamon was a traitor from the get-go.

Considering that the “secondary Digimentals” arc is largely about Daisuke, Miyako, and Iori coming to terms with their deficiencies in their respective traits and aspiring to do better, Miyako unfavorably compares herself to Mimi because Mimi is everything she wants to be and currently isn’t. Unlike Mimi, Miyako is aggressive, in-your-face, occasionally judgmental, belligerent, sometimes insensitive (not by choice), and often shallow, which she fully admits to in this episode. Of course, the reason Miyako gets the Digimental of Purity (Mimi’s trait) is because she hates this about herself -- even in 02 episode 31, she gives herself no shortage of grief for her foot-in-mouth syndrome and the fact she’s not as “kind” of a person she wants to be, and she herself is also fundamentally devoid of malice, just quick to jump to conclusions and a bit sidetracked by first impressions. (After all, Mimi was guilty of being accidentally insensitive when she called Palmon lacking in taste back in Adventure; the point is that when both of them do it, they really don’t mean badly, and end up sorry for it later.)

But that’s a story for another post about Miyako; more importantly, the reason Miyako is harsh on herself about this in this episode is that, in many ways, she’s everything Mimi is not, because Mimi is empathetic and mature and polite and never steps on anyone’s toes.

02 episode 25 gives us more to work with; first of all, she’s depicted in yet another completely different hair and fashion style (which she brings up another of during the winter season), and her drastic shifts in style indicate more of her “open-mindedness”; she’s open to trying out tons of new things and is willing to like just about anything. More importantly, however, she turns out to be completely open-minded about recruiting Ken to help out, even though she’s well aware of what he’d done as the Kaiser (and, again, Miyako sees her ability to be forgiving as something to look up to). Because, again, Mimi doesn’t hold a grudge; she doesn’t send anything accusatory or forceful to Ken, but simply believes that he should be given the chance to know what’s going on and help out if he so chooses, which becomes key to Miyako herself also choosing to accept Ken at the end of the episode.

Given that Mimi is portrayed as so open-minded towards trying all sorts of things, it’s probably no surprise that her “career” in Kizuna is so different from what we eventually know she’ll be doing in the epilogue -- instead of her cooking show, we see her running an online shopping business. After all, with her being so open-minded about wanting to do potentially anything, it’s very like her to "dabble” in a few different experimental things before (or perhaps “without”!) settling for something. What we know about this business is also quite on brand for her; her business specializes in “cute” (her preferred aesthetic, which she also shamelessly dresses in), and she’s established as setting up business all over the world to the point she has to constantly travel. Presumably, her natural charisma made it easy for her to set up connections.

Interestingly, her website profile also omits any discussion of any kind of university or other post-secondary education, implying that, unlike the others, she chose to dive directly into her career after high school. Again, it’s quite like her to find something she wanted to do and pursue it the moment it was in front of her -- no matter what it is, as long as it’s interesting.

Mimi’s largest amount of focus in regards to the movie is in To Sora, where she’s seen checking in on Sora after noticing she hasn’t been in the group chat in a while -- again, as someone constantly empathetic to how her friends are doing, it’s natural that she’s the one who catches on and decides she needs to check in. As someone who loves uplifting and supporting her friends first and foremost, she happens to be fully aware of what everyone’s currently up to (compare how Taichi had to be actively updated on Sora and Takeru’s status from Yamato in the movie proper), and also provides nothing but positive supportiveness to Sora’s troubles during their conversation -- as usual, always respectful and polite, and never condescending.

And, of course, she naturally empathizes with Sora having hesitation about fighting -- both because she’s been busy herself, but also because she, of course, understands exactly how it feels for fighting to be emotionally taxing -- and declares that she’ll support Sora with whatever she does, just like how she found her own path back in Adventure by choosing to contribute by bringing people together instead of fighting. She makes do on this promise as well, considering that she keeps up with supporting Sora during her exhibition.

By the time of the 02 epilogue, Mimi has decided to change tracks entirely and go for cooking, which, while being very different, is also very on-brand. This time, the part about “cooking” is something that comes from her family, since, after all, experimental cooking (...of some kind) was something Satoe got the whole family to embrace. The exact nature of her job is literally “culinary researcher”, which is a Japanese catch-all to refer to the sort of “food critic” who experiments with food and writes extensively (or, in this case, runs a TV show) about different ways you can enjoy and put together food, which also goes in mind with her streak of “open-mindedness”. The common point is, really, that everything Mimi does comes out of positivity, supportiveness, and love.

Blues headcanons? Why not.

Bubbles "I can change him" Utonium & Boomer "Jekyll & Hyde" Jojo

On a serious note, Boomer really does have the best intentions but hes very easily distracted and lured away into causing mayhem

"I swear, I didn't forget about our date. I was on my way to pick you up but there was this street fight... How could I not join in?! It was an easy victory."

Bubbles goes around town with Boomer's picture threatening people not to encourage Boomer's crime habits

No one knows if they're more terrified of the blue puff or the boy brought back to life by Him

Boomer is a pretty boy and so he knows how to charm the people. All the people. It's scary how easily he can win people over

He's known to be a flirt. But then again, so is Bubbles so they're cool with this. They know it's meaningless flirting

The pretty boy act worked when Bubbles and Boomer were in their "talking" stage

Bubbles stopped falling for it when he ended up with a black eye, missing tooth, and charged with a couple grand of property damage

Like all couples, they argue and need their space. But for these two, that means staring at their phones until someone caves

They typically alternate in caving in

Boomer commits petty crimes to get her attention if he feels really bad about their argument... This rarely goes over well

They go to baseball games together but after Bubbles' rant at one of the umpires for a bad call, they were sorta banned

They actually play baseball together and have matching gear

However after a home run caused a meteor to explode and shower Townsville (only Townsville) in a molten rock hail storm, the Blues were ordered to never play baseball anywhere near civilization again

Boomer is Bubbles' dress up doll- thankfully, he already has a good sense of style.

P.s. He does not appreciate her messing his hair up with her glitter gel

PPS- low-key he knows he looks great with it. The glitter is just very messy and takes forever to wash out

Boomer will not admit it but he needs to be the little spoon every once in a while

At this point, Bubbles has his cycle tracked on her phone. Boomer tends to get into more trouble when he needs a little spoon cuddle session

Boomer has a Bubbles' phone charm attached to his phone case

Boomer keeps all the artwork Bubbles gives him. It's literally the only thing he keeps organized.

Bubbles keeps every love note Boomer writes her. They're really short and simple but she's got a journal full of them

I'm on a blues kick mentally and in my Google docs too... Realizing this is more boomer oriented 😅

#powerpuff girls #ppg #rowdyruff boys #rrb boomer #ppg bubbles #i love the blues #they have great potential but its so hard not to fall into similar fanon ideas #its because theyre the cutest couple

True that

I wonder why JM is considered flirt or womanizer in fandom.

Like ok he's the most charming of bangtan - JKs words. he will catch your attention, he will perform the song with full on expression and vibe. During performances he's on his full on charming persona, he himself said his role was to be the charming guy during interviews. That don't give yall to call him any names. It's literally his job and it's not him flirting with you lol. His standards ain't that low lmao.

Or he ' flirt 'with army during fansign which literally majority of members do. Just coz JM is influencing you unlike others is not his fault. Otherwise he literally don't flirt not even half as much as tae, Jin do. But they both are considered good boy and good old brother by Fandom.

Jihope flirt with each other but only JM gets the name. JK flirts with JM like there's no tomorrow but for 'army' it is JK learning from Jm. Common he don't need to learn from anyone how to flirt with his boyfie

Tae flirt with some person .... it's JM teaching tae 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️. It's jimins fault. Like Free my man yall, no one needs to teach members how to flirt ok.

Members react to an interviewer or a performance- they are being respectful and enjoying 😊

JM react to an interviewer or performance - OmG JM is flirting 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️ are yall ok. He can't even smile at a person without yall making him pervert ?

Members hangout with friends in clubs or pubs- oh they are enjoying their free time 😊

JM plays finger flicking in a pub - oh he's a womanizer, he took women with him 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♀️

What's with this obsession to make JM into something he's not, purely based on his stage persona ? When JM is the one in older interviews confirmed by the members to be the innocent member multiple times. Who they want their sister to date or find a person like him or have told he only looks only for a person. Or JM himself said if he loves a person he wants to be with them forever.

But no his words or actions are not important if it fulfill your fantasies some will call or make him anything

I'm aware of it all, anon. You know which group of people interpret JM's interaction this way. They are the majority, they can say the sun is dark and the rest will agree because they want to see it that way. They don't know JM, and they don't try to know him because they don't like the real JM.

I know someone who sees JK this way, she sees him as a womanizer who has been with so many girls but has not met the love of his life yet (typical Y/N mindset). The same goes for JM's Y/Ns, but when you add the group of people who see JM as a treat for their ship (because of very obvious moments he has with JK) to them, supporters of the "womanizer JM" idea, would become huge, and that's why they have the power to twist and manipulate everything in their favor, unfortunately.

Strip Club Bait

This Is Day 18 Of Roleplay May

Words: 4221

Warnings: Smut, Swearing, Dirty Talk, Lap Dance, Woman On Top, Angry Dean, Grinding. Think That’s It.

Characters: Dean Winchester, Sam Winchester, Reader.

Pairing: Dean Winchester x Reader

Summary: You and Sam come up with a plan to complete a hunt, which Dean heavily disapproves of. What will happen when you ask Dean for some advice and help for the hunt? What will it be?

You had stormed off a while ago now and slammed your bedroom door. Yet you can still hear Sam and Dean arguing about the reason you’d left in the first place. Even though it wasn’t their decision. There had been something snatching women from a nearby strip club, with all of you still being at the bunker you were by the closest hunters available. So you and Sam had agreed that you would take the case, Dean had been completely on board with the plan, right up until you’d suggested that you were going to be the bait. Since it would mean that you and the monster you were looking for would be alone in a private room.

He was always so damn protective of you, it felt like a lot of the time it was because he didn’t trust you. Sam had been worried about you of course, but he correctly said that it was your decision and he would support whatever your choice turned out to be. Forever the big brother, Dean was not having any of it. 

Although the two of you had flirted on occasion, you were sure it was just friendly, you weren’t his type, not at all. Especially when times like this would come around, you felt just like he was treating you like the other sibling he needed to look out for, except that you weren’t, he was only a year older than you and you’d been a hunter almost as long as he had.

You already know that you’re going to do this, with or without their help. Tossing the outfit you’d chosen for tonight on your bed, you hear what you assume is Dean’s door slamming a few minutes later. You were crazy nervous for tonight, this was something you’d never really done before, unless it was in private, for the one or two guys that you had ever stripped for. This was an entirely different ball game all together. 

There’s a knock at your bedroom door and you call out for them to come in. The door cracks open revealing the shaggy head of hair that you’d expected.

“Hey Sam, he’s still not on board is he?” you ask, wincing when you hear Dean’s door slam again as if to prove his point.

“He’s on board with the plan, but he isn’t happy about it. Sorry Y/N, I tried” he sighs leaning against your door frame. 

“It’s okay Sam, I know you did. Thank you.” you smile gently, trying not to wring your hands in front of him. “You wanna come in for a minute?”

“Yeah, sure.” he smiles back, stepping into your room, you close the door behind him when he sits on the bed. “You know you can talk to me, if there’s something bothering you, right?” he asks sweetly, patting the spot beside him telling you to take a seat which you do. 

“Honestly, I’m completely terrified. I’ve done this once or twice before and never in front of more than one person,” you confide in him, the way you always do and Sam nods in understanding. 

“Well, I do have to go out and do a few inquiries at the morgue. But maybe speak to Dean, he’s been in a hell of a lot of strip clubs, maybe he can help you out?” Sam suggests as he stands from the bed and adjusts his tie, “Is this straight?”

You can’t help but laugh a little at the adorably confused look on his face, “No, come here,” Once you’re finished straightening the tie you pat his chest gently, “Well, wish me luck with your ass of a brother. Gonna take a shower and I’ll go speak to him,” 

“It’s a good idea. Just give it a try and ignore him when he goes negative on the plan,” Sam advises, pulling you into a bear hug that quickly makes you smile. “I’ll be back soon,” he promises, leaving you to your shower.

Pulling off your clothes you wrap your towel around yourself and head out into the hall towards the shower. You squeak in surprise when you walk into Dean, so distracted that you hadn’t been paying attention. Luckily enough you had a tight grip on your towel. 

He tries to silently walk around you but you reach out quickly and grab his bicep, “Just do me a favour, please. Come to my room in like half an hour. I really need to talk to you.” before he can say no you sigh, “Please, it’s important. I need your help,” 

“Yeah, okay. Fine, I’ll be there, but I’m not happy about it.” Dean grumbles sounding irritated, walking around you as soon as you let go of his arm. 

Making sure that you turn the shower on hot, since you’re in major need of something to distract you from the way that Dean had just looked at you. It was about to make your conversation that much harder. You make sure that you shave everything and you’re sure that the water has run out by the time you finally turn the shower off.

Wrapping your towel back around yourself you quickly head into your room, deciding that you probably have time to try on your outfit for tonight before Dean comes to talk, you wanna make sure that it at least looks okay. 

You lock the door as soon as you walk inside, nervously glancing down at the outfit on the bed. The tight leather hot pants, and revealing leather crop top aren’t exactly your normal attire and you find yourself swallowing hard. Drying off properly you slip on a small thong, so it would hide beneath the leather hot pants easily, then you pull on the top. 

You do your hair and make up, not daring to look at your reflection until you’re completely ready. Slipping into your high heels you slowly walk over to your floor length mirror, gasping at what you see reflected back at you.

Part of you wonders if you’d ever looked this hot before, normally you weren’t one to admit something like that, but right now you were feeling more confident than you had ever before. 

You jump in surprise when there’s a sudden knock at the door, quickly grabbing your robe you pull it on, clearly it has taken you longer to get ready than you’d realised. 

“One second!” you call out, fastening the belt of your robe.

You can do this, you can talk to Dean about this, right? It’s just Dean. You tell yourself repeatedly, as you slowly walk over to the door. With a deep breath you pull it open, not missing the way that Dean’s eyes drop to the shoes you’d forgotten you were wearing, before quickly snapping back to your face.

“Hey. So, you wanted to talk?” 

“Yeah, just uh, come in.” you breathe out nervously, stepping away from the door and letting him by, he takes a seat in the armchair by your bed. But you’re too nervous to sit down, so you just stand in front of him.

Dean clears his throat, looking up at you a little awkwardly as his teeth worry at his lip. 

“So? You gonna tell me what the problem is?” 

“Yeah, I’ll apologise now in case this gets awkward. But I need your advice for tonight.” you tell him truthfully.

“Okay. What do you wanna know?” he asks trying to keep his voice calm, but you can see that he’s noticed your legs are bare beneath your dressing gown, thanks to the opening in it shifting.

“First of all, ignoring the danger and everything, do you think that I can do this?” you ask watching his face for a reaction.

Dean rubs his hand over his slightly stubbled chin as he sighs, “Yeah I do. Of course you can.” 

“Thank you. So, I’ve done this literally twice before and they were both in private. I’m just scared it’s gonna be obvious, I don’t wanna blow my cover before I even get started,” you explain, finally letting him see your nerves.

Dean seems to swallow hard as he thinks this over, never taking his eyes off of your face. 

“Do you have to dance on stage before the private room?” he asks, voice a little deeper as he stands from the chair, so he’s taller than you again.

“Yeah, but I’ve got that down. One of the girls showed me yesterday,” 

“So, it’s just the more close up stuff that’s got you freaked out?” he questions, walking around you over to your dressing table and grabbing the small chair there he turns it around the right way and takes a seat.

“Yeah.” you answer simply, slightly confused by his behaviour.

“Only one thing you can do sweetheart. Practice.”

“I don’t have time for that Dean!” you exclaim annoyed, throwing your hands in the air. Stopping short when he tugs at the belt of your robe. Causing it to fall open, just like your mouth.

“I can’t do this, not with you,”

“Well it’s either me or wait for Sammy to get back. Of course, you can just wing it, I’m just offering you choices.” Dean says no longer hiding when his eyes drop to your body, this time your outfit is almost on full display. 

You know he’s right and honestly if you had to pick anyone then it would be Dean, that’s half of the problem you would have to try and ignore. 

“Okay fine. You it is,” you answer, dropping your robe to the floor, feeling a little smug when all Dean can mutter is a quiet curse word or two. You walk towards him slowly, the click of your heels echoing around the room with every step you take.

“Just keep telling me how I’m doing,” you say quietly, as your knees finally bump against his.

Dean slowly reaches out and runs his hands up your thighs, you’re a little taken aback, breath hitching in your throat with the look in his eyes. But then you remember the rules, that this club in particular had, there was no touching at all. You gently smack at his hands and watch him pull back, biting into his bottom lip and rest them beside his legs.

“Well remembered.” he rasps, letting his eyes wander shamelessly across your body once more. But they quickly move back to yours when you straddle his thighs. “Don’t forget, try and get a little dirty talk in.” 

His voice is so deep all of a sudden that you’re finding it hard to focus. You wrap your arms around his neck and roll your hips slowly, grinding down into him when your fingers push into the back of his hair and tug his head back. Dean clenches his jaw when your lips brush across it, but never press down. 

Your lips slowly move down to his ear, “Dean, get your hands off of my ass before I smack you,” 

“Can’t blame a guy for tryin’” he chuckles, dropping his hands back to his sides again.

You pull back to look at him, dragging your hand down his stomach, you grip his t-shirt and drop your body back, keeping your hips rolling down as your hair skims the floor. You flick your body back up and press your chest tightly against his. Dean swallows hard, seeing how close you are and you’re staring into his eyes and it’s like you can’t stop yourself.

Pulling back, you get up onto your slightly shaking legs, Dean sits forward and watches you closely. You turn your back on him and bend over, rolling your hips back against him until you’re sitting in his lap. Carefully you lean forward, remembering something you’d seen in one of the videos that you’d watched, you place your hands on the floor. Gripping his thighs tightly with your knees, your feet press against the chair just above his shoulders as you rock back into him.

“Fuck sweetheart, you sure this is only your third time?” he groans and you can feel the thick line of his cock beneath you.

He wraps an arm around your waist as you pull yourself back up, sliding your legs back down so they’re almost touching the floor. With your hands on the sides of the chair you drop your head back against his shoulder, continuing to roll your hips down against him, watching the way his eyes drop to your tits which are almost pressed against his face.

“So, is this your first time here?” you purr, fingers brushing his cheek as you turn him to face you.

Dean clears his throat and nods, “Yeah first time. Can’t wait to come back,” he smirks, licking his lips when you stand and turn to face him again. Dropping down seductively, your hands slide up his legs and push his knees apart, slowly sliding your hands up his thighs stopping dangerously close to where he’s hard and straining against the material of his jeans. 

“I’d love it if you came back, I don’t often get customers as hot as you.”

You slide up his body, pushing your breasts up his chest until they’re pressed against his face. Dean groans and you swear you can feel his tongue against your breasts but you chose to ignore it, maybe it had been an accident. 

Dean’s hands fall to your waist when you straddle one of his thighs, you can feel the sweat that’s starting to cover your skin, but his hands aren’t much cooler. Your hands slide beneath the flannel that he’s wearing and push it easily from his broad shoulders. Dean tugs it from his wrists and his big hands settle on the bottom of your back, the tips of his fingers just barely pushing into the waistband of your leather hot pants.

Leaning back slightly you feel Dean’s hands tighten as he supports your weight and keeps you up, your hands move slowly up your stomach, continuing to rock your hips, the trouble is that this is really starting to affect you. You can feel the slick gathering between your thighs, barely contained by the small thong beneath your hot pants.

“Does that feel good?” you ask in a breathy voice, watching the way that Dean’s tongue presses against the back of his teeth. You easily find the poppers on your top, watching Dean chewing on his bottom lip when you pop the first button. 

“Best one I’ve ever had,” he grunts as you slide perfectly over his cock, “honestly, I’m just trying not to come in my pants.” His voice rumbles, completely focused on your fingers where they linger on the third and final button of your top.

“I’ll take that as a compliment from you.” you breathe out with a smile, feeling his fingers slip inside your hot pants a little further and his finger dig harshly into your skin. “You wanna see?” you ask nervously, swallowing around the lump in your throat as you continue to rock your hips.

“I’d fuckin’ love to see sweetheart. But you can just pretend you’ve finished, if you want.” he offers sweetly, but it’s like you can feel the sexual tension in his voice dripping from his every word.

You shrug with a slight smile pulling at your lips, “No point in doing half a job, like you said, it’ll help to practice.” Your voice is just barely above a whisper when you finish speaking and finally pop the last button on your top. 

You can see the tick in Dean’s jaw when you pull the leather from your arms and drop it to the floor. The routine you had planned was still in your mind so you went with it, trying your best not to get distracted by the intense look in Dean’s darkened green eyes. 

Dean’s fingers are so tightly digging into the tops of your ass cheeks that you’re sure it’s going to bruise, but you continue to roll your hips, switching it up every now and then and circling them.

“Can I please be your guinea pig whenever you need help again?” Dean asks through a muffled moan when you press his face between your tits, feeling the scratch of his slight stubble against your sensitive skin.

Your heart is thudding hard in your chest and you can hear it in your ears, not to mention you’re starting to feel the pull of your stomach muscles from how hard you’d been working your body. Gripping his hair you tug his head back again, his lidded eyes find yours when he draws his bottom lip between his teeth. 

“Yeah, I think I could live with that,” you smirk cheekily, letting your forehead drop against his. Your nose brushes against his as you pop the buttons on the sides of your hot pants and pull them away. 

Dean’s hands move to your hips, “shit sweetheart, got me so damn hard.” 

Your nails are digging into his shoulders through the thin black t-shirt he’s wearing, continuing to rock and circle your hips you can feel the hard line of Dean’s thick cock pressing into your slick pussy, through the barely there thong that’s the only remaining clothing you’re wearing.

Dean’s lips press against yours and take you completely by surprise, you can’t help the groan that slips past your lips. You pull back as soon it hits you what was happening and he catches your hand before it connects with his face. His free hand cups the back of your neck and he roughly presses his lips against yours again, this time you melt against him, threading your fingers into the hair at the back of his neck tugging roughly. 

Finally pulling away from his lips to breathe, you stand from his lap smirking when he stands with you. Tugging at his belt buckle until it clangs open. 

“So, to be clear in the club. This should have stopped before you kissed me right?” you giggle, pushing him back into the chair once he pulls off his t-shirt and pushes down his jeans.

Dean chuckles as he stumbles back and falls into the chair behind him.

“Oh yeah, definitely throw a better punch if it’s anyone else.” 

“So, is this why you were pissed about the hunt? Didn’t watch me dancing all over other guys because you wanted to fuck me.” you ask as you straddle his thighs again and his hands slide up your legs, groaning loudly when you drag your teeth across his earlobe. 

“It definitely has a lot to do with it.” He answers quietly, “I thought you’d be sick of riding by now.” 

“Turns out I kinda like it, even more when it’s you.” You whimper when Dean pushes your panties to the side and drags them through your slick, right before he pushes two of those thick fingers inside you. 

You gasp at the feeling, enjoying the stretch and the drag of his fingers as he curls them against your fluttering walls. You stand with your legs still spread either side of his, moaning when his lips wrap around your nipple, tongue swirling around the hardening bud as they continue to move inside of you at a hard pace. You cling to his shoulders, creating crescent shape marks against his freckled skin.

Dean drags his teeth over the hardened bud as he pulls away, looking back into your eyes as his free arm wraps around your waist to hold you up. You roll your hips down into his hand the best that you can, the flick of his thumb against your clit moves in time with every thrust of your hips.

Your thighs start shaking and your mouth drops open, as you start to feel that familiar feeling in the pit of your stomach. Then it ebbs away as Dean pulls out his fingers, a cocky smirk before he sucks them between his lips with a satisfied groan. 

You huff out in frustration as he pulls his fingers from his mouth with a lewd popping noise.

“You ever get tired of being such a smartass,” you grumble wrapping your fingers around his thickness.

Dean’s retort is quickly cut off when you press the head of his cock into your soaked entrance, the new feeling has him growling into your neck, fingers gripping your ass tightly as you let him fill you perfectly in one movement. 

“When you stop lovin’ it, you just let me know,” he grits out as you start moving, you push one of your hands into his hair and grip tight as you ride him, keeping your eyes locked on his. The fast rise and fall of your hips forcing his cock inside you deep and hitting you in the spot that makes your thighs shake and your back arch. “Fuck you feel good, so wet baby, keep going. Wanna feel you come all over my cock.”

His filthy mouth paired with the feeling of every thrust of his cock has you whimpering his name, pressing your lips against his, needing to feel as much of him as possible. His tongue quickly finds yours, there’s no fight for dominance, the kiss is deep and passionate, all teeth and tongues. 

“Dean, please. So c-close,” you gasp, pulling away from his lips and resting your forehead against his. 

Dean drops slips a hand between your legs, quickly finding your clit, the tips of his fingers start to rub it in hard fast circles. You cling to him like your life depends on it, continuing to move your hips at the fast and hard pace, until your orgasm hits you at full force and your pussy clenches around his cock like a vice. You squeeze your eyes shut, as Dean helps you move while you helplessly whimper his name.

When you finally start to come down you lift your head and lean back, resting your hands on his knees. Dean groans feeling your walls clamp down around his cock tightly with the new angle.

“Come on baby, I know you’re close. I can feel your cock throbbing,” 

Dean groans watching you roll your hips, seeing his cock slipping effortlessly in and out of your slick pussy. “Fuck. You look so damn good riding my cock sweetheart,” 

One of Dean’s large rough hands slides up from your thigh, over your hip and presses into your stomach. Sweat glistens on your skin, you can feel your slick against your ass as it runs down his balls. You’re not sure that you’ve ever been this turned on, every nerve ending feels like it’s on fire. “Son of a bitch! Yes Y/N! Fuck.” Dean moans loudly, as his hips stutter slightly beneath you. 

You finally stop moving when Dean relaxes back in his chair and you collapse against his chest. “Jesus fucking Christ,” you half laugh, half pant. Pressing a kiss to his shoulder his hands slowly move against the soft skin of your back, tracing patterns against your skin.

“Can’t argue with that,” Dean laughs, turning to face you and brushes the sweaty hair from your forehead. “Are you sure I can’t talk you outta this whole thing?” 

“Dean,” you sigh, but your voice holds clear warning.

“Fine. This once I’ll drop it. But don’t expect me to leave you alone with this creep,” Dean grumbles as he gently helps you to your feet and you both hear the main bunker door clang closed.

“Thank you. Now get dressed, this is not something Sammy needs to see,” you laugh followed quickly by Dean. You hurriedly pull on your robe as Dean pulls up his boxers and jeans. You quickly throw him his t-shirt when Sam knocks on your door. “Shit,”

You grab your clothes and hide them under your duvet. Smoothing it out, you turn back to Dean seeing him pull on his flannel, you walk around him and open the door.

“Hey Sam, is everything okay?” you ask trying to keep the nerves out of his voice when you let him in.

“I, uh. Yeah.” He stutters, seeming confused as he looks between you and his brother.

“Change of plans. No more undercover needed,”

“Thank fuck for that,” Dean grins, throwing you a wink, which you have to stop yourself from smiling at, failing miserably.

“Okay. You two are being strange, more than usual. What did I miss?” Sam enquires suspiciously.

You and Dean look at each other and you can’t help but blush.

“Y/N just gave me a lap dance,” Dean shrugs, bursting out laughing when you smack him.

You’re blushing so hard when you finally look back up at Sam, “I needed practice.” you defend, before Sam can actually say anything.

“Trust me, you didn’t.” Dean winks when you turn back to face him.

“I don’t wanna know.” Sam laughs holding up his hands as he turns to leave. He’d seen that look in his brother’s eyes before and he knew where it was leading before it even happened.

“So, you don’t wanna be my guinea pig anymore then?” 

“Oh now, come on sweetheart. Let’s not say anything we’re gonna regret here.” you smile at him as you follow after Sam without saying a word. “Y/N! Hey!” Dean shouts, running after your retreating form.

[cheesy09]

What are your top 5 Kiro dates? No pressure, my dear friend😆😘

@keliosyfan You cannot send me something like this and expect me to keep quiet 😆 Thank you so much for this delicious, finger-licking ask, friend!! But do I really got to choose??? 🥺 I LOVE ALL HIS DATES!! 

Keeping my thoughts/analysis under the cut because this one's going to be a long one. Also, am not ranking them because they're each special to me in their own way. Plus, am only going to concentrate on the dates in EN so far.

Anyway, without further ado, Kiro Date spoilers ahead!

✨Light Pursuit Date

There’s a simple reason why I love this date so so much. It literally contains EVERYTHING I love about their relationship, plus it’s in line with the main story.

“You’re the light I’ve spent my whole life chasing” is such a strong and powerful message to use for a couple, especially since it aligns perfectly with message that this game’s story is trying to deliver. The imagery of light pursuing being used to represent their relationship puts it on an almost spiritual/cosmic level which is just so powerful to me.  

The mutual pining: Both MC and Kiro long for each other so strongly throughout this whole date and it’s so obvious to see. MC gets desperate enough to see him that she even starts dreaming about him. And no matter what Helios said on that date, we know why he really invited her to that party.

The undeniable chemistry: The attraction, the thick innuendo, the electricity that is just crackling between them; it’s so tangible, you can cut it with a knife. Talk about delectable... yum!  

The angst: As heartbreaking as the angst is, the drama involved between Kiro and MC is juicy as heck, which is another reason why I love their relationship so much. It makes their relationship feel very very real. The angst is what gives birth to the high strung emotions and passion between them. Realities they’re trying to fight, and the feelings they can’t possibly deny.

TWIN-FLAME ENERGY EVERYWHERE: As I said before, Kiro and MC just cannot deny the way they are drawn to each other, and this plays big in the twin-flame theme they have going for them. This is especially obvious in MC’s case. She knows Helios is supposed to be close to a stranger to her, and yet her body can’t help but react to him the way it would react to Kiro despite the danger that radiates from him; like her very soul knows exactly who it is behind the silver hair and cold eyes. I mean we even get this scene:

MC: Aren’t you a member of Black Swan? Why did you approach me?

I closed my eyes and finally asked the question.

Helios quivered inconspicuously under my palm, and soon he spoke in a low and sneering voice.  

Helios: Why are you under that misconception?

MC: Because...

Because I thought you were familiar, because my soul quivered involuntarily when being close to you, and because... of a ridiculous assumption.

These words are just so powerful in so many ways because what MC is saying is that she finds Helios familiar because her soul resonates with him, like it happened with someone else before...

In relation to the twin flame concept, this date is a huge representation of stage five and six in the relationship; “the test” and “the chase.” By this point, Kiro and MC’s relationship is being put the test and MC’s chase for Kiro finally begins.  

✨Stardust Date

Another date that goes hand in hand with Light Pursuit Date, except with Kiro this time instead of Helios. Plus points that this too is in line with the main story.

MORE YEARNING. And what’s so great about this is that you can actually feel what MC feels. That’s how strongly Kiro can make you pine after him.  

That steamy confession of love: It wasn’t just the passionate words that Kiro kept whispering to her, but also the tremendous amount of longing and desire in his voice that belied those very words.

Kiro’s sexiness: Please, you cannot tell me you didn’t find Kiro downright seductive in that outfit. I absolutely love his fashion sense and this one really showed off the lean yet firm build of his body, and that scorching blue-eyed gaze was just- pheeew!!

The danger he radiates: After MC catches him on that phone call, the feeling of oppression that Kiro gives off does intimidate you, but also excites and thrills you at the same time. The duality with this man is just so well-written.  

The build up: From the fiery confession, to the obvious yearning and attraction, to the flirting and teasing, and the angst, I’d say this date had one of the best buildups to a kiss overall.

THE KISS: After all that glorious build-up, the execution of the kiss was absolutely brilliant, with Kiro’s statement of “the reward I want more right now... is you” being the breaking point. All the yearning and desire that had built up over the course of the date had been let loose in that one sexy kiss. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED, LOVED the way the desire went both ways. MC pulling him closer and demanding for more from him and him responding just as passionately, was HOT.

Extra thoughts: The necklace that he gives to her on this date is an item that hasn’t been brought up on other dates, which I find a bit weird since they mentioned how important it seemed to Kiro. Another reason why I need this date to be referenced in the future. 

What I find interesting about him giving her a necklace is that even though it’s a symbol of love and affection, it’s not as powerful as a ring would be, showing that he wasn’t ready to take the next stage in the relationship. This is important foreshadowing because he knew what exactly could happen to them in the future.      

✨Treasure Date

A personal favourite of mine because it shows just how stubborn, delicate and insecure Kiro can actually be.

MC’s unexpected confession of love: Kiro’s not the only whose been pouring out his heart to her. (I’m assuming) Before the events of Chapter 14, MC has done her own fair share of confessing to him on a number of dates; the one in Treasure Date being the most notable. I held my breath when she said “I will... always be crazily in love with you” to him, because it had been the first time I’d seen her outright declare her love to a love interest so earnestly.

The supportiveness: MC just being there for him and comforting him when he was at his weakest is just so heartwarming and satisfying to see.

THE TENDERNESS AND LOVE THEY RADIATE FOR EACH OTHER :’D

BLUSHY KIRO: (Can you tell why I chose to put in that CG?) I don’t know about you, but I feel my soul ascend to heaven every time I see Kiro blush. It’s the most adorable thing on the planet!

THE BIG BABY VIBES HE RADIATES ON THIS DATE MAKE ME WANT TO CUDDLE WITH HIM FOREVER UGH!!!

The pirate and treasure theme: This is a theme that is brought up often in Kiro and MC’s story. Dates as well as the main story. It also goes hand in hand with the light pursuit theme. MC’s determination to turn into a pirate in search of her treasure (Kiro) exactly mirrors the way Kiro referred to himself as a pirate in search of his hidden treasure (MC) before his reunion with her at the convenience store, in his 3rd Anniversary Interview. It really goes to show just how much they desire and treasure each other.   

✨Prayer Date

Another hot, steamy date? Yes, ma’am! Kiro’s got a whole arsenal full of these kind of dates.

It is seriously cute how the two of them are always wishing for a “forever” with each other, and how they’re willing to go as far as to rely on superstitions for it HAHA.

Ahem. That visually appealing shower scene. Need I say more?

The date offered me another reason to label Kiro a hopeless romantic. Hello? A candlelit beach??? SWOON~!

The dash of angst: The foreshadowing. Over the course of the date, MC’s numerous failed attempts at doing something to ensure their “forever” had accumulated, and this was the first date we got to see her insecurity in regards to her relationship with Kiro. Again, these high strung emotions is what evoked some passionate desire for him in her.

This date was full of firsts. Not only was it the first time we got to see MC’s insecurity in regards to her relationship with Kiro, but it was also the first time we got to see just how... intense Kiro can be in showing his affection. Also, am I wrong in assuming that this was the first time they got so... physical with each other?

Another excellent date with excellent build-up to the end: From the pleasant start to the date, with MC being full of hope, to the unexpected encounter in the showers just to wet your appetite for this boy (pun intended haha), to the consecutive disappointments and emotional buildup made for a fabulous recipe for the delicious result we were served by the end of the date. Mmm, a spicy one at that.   

✨Flowers Date

Honestly, this was the date that made me fall for him super-super hard. It was just full of innocence and the purest of love, no questions asked. 

Kiro’s charm is on full blast in this date.

The symbolism brought out by flowers in showing how similar Kiro and MC are, is really strong on this date. They both decide to each get a gift for the other that is supposed to remind them of each other and then split up. When they came back to reveal what they each had gotten each other, they both ended up getting the same thing: a bouquet of daisies (a symbol of purity and innocence).

Kiro’s wholesome love for the simplest things in life (like flower fields) is once again brought out.

THIS DATE WAS SO ROMANTIC. He takes her to the flower field on a bicycle! And they even take off running down the hill together, hand-in-hand, and he spins her around like some kind of princess in the middle of it!

MC did daisy divination, and what was the result she got? *whispers loudly* HE LOVES ME.

Kiro being a parallel to sleeping beauty is ingenious as well as romantic in so many ways. (Plus MC being tempted enough by his sleeping appearance, that she kissed his eyelids had me grinning like a mad fool). 

Kiro says some of the most romantic things on this date in the most affectionate and tender of voices:

Notable line 1:

Kiro: Well, MC, maybe you really are my “prince charming.” Because only you can awaken me from darkness, no matter when.

Notable line 2:

Kiro: There was only you in my eyes, wasn’t there? 

Notable line 3:

Kiro: Because... You are the whole world in my eyes. Nothing else can compare. My spring... is you.   

✨Honorable mention: Miracle Date

This is another fun and wholesome date that always seems to put a smile on my face, but also comes with some strong and sad foreshadowing.

Kiro and MC are just so uplifting of each other in this date and you just love to see it.

THE INTIMACY WHEN HE WRAPPED HER IN HIS ARMS FROM BEHIND AND LACED THEIR FINGERS TOGETHER!!!

Dude, they’re so in sync with each other, it’s not even funny!

I really loved how this date works in a bit of self-introspection for the both of them (actually, a lot of his dates do). We know that Kiro and MC both push each other to become better, and this date really showcased that.

Another date with another strong message.

I melted at the way he says that her very existence is a miracle to him. Like, just the fact that she exists in this world is enough of a blessing for him.

THE LONGING IN HIS VOICE: Kiro so fervently wishing that their time together would slow down because he knew what was to come, was just so heartachingly beautiful, it made me tear up a bit.

Hey hey heyyy~! So glad to see more Twisted Wonderland blogs out there nowadays. May I request headcanons of Leona and Malleus (separate) with an s/o that is super innocent and child-like. She’s almost naive and oblivious if you will-

hello hello ! as i was writing this, a story idea came into mind !! so i’d like to thank you for inspiring my thoughts, dear anon ☆*: .｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆ i hope you enjoy !

malleus draconia

He doesn’t really mind it that much

If anything, you’ve got him cherishing the time he spends with you more and more. You’re like a refreshing spring breeze that captivates him and makes him want to genuinely smile.

He’s very affectionate with you and, seeing as how any underhand flirting results with you not getting anything he’s trying to relay, he tries his best to show you how much he loves you by basically “shoving it into your oblivious face”

Surprise kisses just so that he can see you panic and turn red. He thinks your reactions to him are just the cutest, which is also something he’d remind you of constantly.

Your happiness was by far the best out of all of them. Your smiles, he believes, carry the light of the stars. Your laughter, a gentle ring of bells that could tickle anyone’s ear. The very sound of it makes him feel lighter, as if he was being embraced by the clouds.

“Malleus, Malleus! Look, there’s a flower field over there!” you exclaimed, smiling, laughing as you pointed at a field in the distance. He pretends to look for it, eyes squinted and scanning the surrounding area before his body goes still. “You’re right there is,” he said, his face registering perfect amazement. His theatrics make you laugh and soon, you’re tugging his arm forward telling him that, “Come on! We’ve got to go see it!” After that you’d spend the rest of the hour relaxing in the field while braiding flowers into both of your hairs (despite Malleus’ protests)

Your petulance is also one of his favourite things to see; the way you’d furrow your brows at him and pout, harrumphing ever so often just to remind him that you were jealous or mad. On one hand, it was irritating to see while on the other, endearing. He won’t let you stay like that for long though since he can’t bear to even think of you staying angry at him for so long.

He would encourage your antics, keeping a close eye on you in your pursuit to feed your curiosity. He wouldn’t want anyone to take advantage of you, or worse hurt you and ruin you forever.

leona kingscholar

At first, he finds the very thought of you infuriating.

He doesn’t know what to do. Whenever he gives you hints of his feelings, you’d cock your head to the side and stare at him with a raised brow. You either take things too literally (“Hm, you’re too cute that I feel like I could just eat you up.” “Why would you even think of doing that. I don’t think I’d taste good at all, and what does my being cute have to do with your attempts of cannibalism?”) or don’t take it at all (“If I had the chance to date you I would, you know.” “??Okay??”)

You honestly tested his patience.

Now, he’s nothing more than a sneaky sneaky kitty

He takes any chance he gets to hold your hand—,

“Leona?” you’d ask after seeing him suddenly take your hand in his. “Hm?” he’d tilt his head at you, feigning innocence.

—and nap with you whenever he can.

“Come here,” he mumbled with drooping eyelids, waving his hand drowsily in the air, signaling for you to come closer. Though you were compliant, you hadn’t expected him to throw an arm around your waist and pull you closer, onto his chest. “Is something wrong?” you asked him, worrying yourself over his unusual actions and already racking your brain with ways to help him out if he was feeling a bit under the weather. He hums in thought, his face scrunching up before relaxing then nuzzling into your shoulder. You’d then either spend the rest of his nap time staring at him in concern, brushing his hair and whispering that “It’ll be alright.” and that “I’m here for you.” or hug him back, burying your face into his hair as you try to hold back your tears until finally passing out to keep yourself from getting too frightened over thoughts of him.

In time he knows you’ll realize this and give him a thorough scolding but, for now, he’s making you make up for all the struggling he had to go through at the early stages of your relationship.

He’s very protective of you, though he tries not to make it seem so. If you’re planning on doing something or doing something reckless he’d “come along and play with you” which is basically just him saying that he’s going to keep you out of trouble as you do your own thing.

Hi Nonny!! 

Thank you for the well wishes! I hope you had a good holiday season yourself

JEALOUSY Pt. 5

Jealous John and Sherlock Pt. 4

JEALOUS JOHN

Anchor Point by trickybonmot (E, 49,856 w., 80 Ch. || Truman Show AU || Psychological Drama, Suspense, Slow Burn, Dark Characters / Fic, Alternating First/Third Person, Protective John, Anxious/Worried Sherlock, Tender Moments, Love Confessions, Hand/Blow Jobs, Cuddling, Jealous John, First Kiss/Time) – The world tunes in nightly for Sherlock, the ultimate in reality TV: Sherlock Holmes, a real person with a legendary name, unknowingly lives out his life in a staged setting contrived by his brother. Things get complicated when a retired army doctor joins the show to play the part of Sherlock’s closest friend. This fic borrows its concept from the 1998 film, the Truman Show. However, you don’t need to have any knowledge of the movie to enjoy this story.

Hell Sent, Heaven Bound by ConsultingHound (M, 64,381 w, 16 Ch. || Angels / Demons AU ||  Fallen Angel Sherlock / Angel Cop John, Alternate First Meeting, Slow Burn, Case Fic, John & Lestrade are Friends Before Sherlock, BAMF John, Mind Palace John, Friends to Lovers, John in Denial, Sherlock Picks Out John’s Clothing, Clubbing / Dancing, Mildly Jealous John, Awkwardness, Kidnapping, Sherlock’s Mind Palace, Sacrifice, Worried / Anxious Sherlock, Angst with Happy Ending, Immortal to Mortal) – Ex-War healer and current angelic guard John Watson is not having the best day. He overslept, he’s underpaid, and now there’s someone tagging the Council’s building walls. However things may be about to get interesting: there’s an unusual stranger hanging around (the definition of tall, dark, and handsome), a literal underground cult is brewing, and rumblings are coming from hell. Can he keep his neighbourhood safe, how and why is he being connected to all this, and who the hell is Sherlock Holmes?

White Knight by DiscordantWords (M, 69,840 w., 13 Ch. || S4 Compliant/Post S4, Marriage For a Case, Jealous John, Pining John, Janine / Sherlock Fake Relationship, Serial Killers, Case Fic, Undercover as a Couple, Weddings, John is a Mess, Misunderstandings, Wedding Planning, Jealousy, Drunkenness, Love Confessions, Angst with Happy Ending) – Green. The word green was used to convey a great many things. Illness. Envy. Inexperience. Standing there amidst Janine’s chattering bridesmaids, watching Sherlock furrow his brow and study fabric swatches, watching him smile and simper and flirt, John thought it a remarkably apt colour choice. Because he felt quite sick to his stomach, he feared the source of said sickness might very well be jealousy, and he had absolutely no idea at all what to do about it. Or: Sherlock needs to fake a relationship for a case. He doesn’t ask John.

The Bang and the Clatter by earlgreytea68 (M, 137,049 w. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Baseball AU || Slow Burn / Dev. Rel., Possessive/Obsessive Sherlock, Jealous Sherlock, Mutual Pining, Body Appreciation, Depression, Closeted Sexuality, Family, Sherlock’s Mind Palace, Ogling Each Other, Anxious Sherlock, Panic Attack, Drunkenness, Talk of Forever, Big Feelings™) – Sherlock Holmes is a pitcher and John Watson is a catcher. No, no, no, it’s a baseball AU. Part 1 of Baseball

Proving A Point by elldotsee & J_Baillier (E, 186,270 w., 28 Ch. || PODFIC AVAILABLE || Me Before You Fusion || Medical Realism, Insecure John, Depression, Romance, Angst, POV John, Sherlock Whump, Serious Illness, Doctor John, Injury Recovery, Assisted Suicide, Sherlock’s Violin, Awkward Sexual Situations, Alcoholism, Drugs, Idiots in Love, Slow Burn, Body Image, Friends to Lovers, Hurt / Comfort, Pain, Big Brother Mycroft, Intimacy, Anxiety, PTSD, Family Issues, Psychological Trauma, John Whump, Case Fics, Loneliness, Pain) – Invalided home from Afghanistan, running out of funds and convinced that his surgical career is over, John Watson accepts a mysterious job offer to provide care and companionship for a disabled person. Little does he know how much hangs in the balance of his performance as he settles into his new life at Musgrave Court.

JEALOUS SHERLOCK

Santa Knows by Itsallfine (T, 1,719 w., 1 Ch. || Christmas Party, Love Confessions, First Kiss, Fluff, Matchmaking, POV Sherlock, Pining Sherlock) – Sherlock and John both get exactly what they want from the Yard’s secret Santa exchange. Pure holiday fluff.

Denial Isn’t Just a River in Egypt by satanatemycat (T, 2,107 w., 1 Ch. || Humour, Friendship, Texting, Bored/Cranky Sherlock) – In which John makes a bet with a co-worker. If he wins, she shuts up about him and Sherlock being a couple. If he loses… well, that doesn’t matter, because he won’t lose. Because he and Sherlock ARE NOT a couple. Right?

The Haunting of 221B Baker Street by earlgreytea68 (M, 10,388 w., 2 Ch. || Post TRF, Halloween / Ghosts, Pining Sherlock, Ghost Sherlock, Stroppy Sherlock, Sherlock POV, First Kiss/Time, Angry Sex, Ghost Sex, Love Confessions, Open / Ambiguous Ending) – In which Sherlock Holmes is a ghost.

It nearly proves to be too much for their tenuous relationship as the past haunts the present, putting the future that Sherlock so desperately wants at risk.

You’re On the Air by prettysailorsoldier (M, 20,616 w., 1 Ch. || Unilock, Matchmaking, Radio, Christmas, Christmas Fluff, First Kiss, Friends to Lovers, Sherlock POV, Pining Sherlock, Flirting, Bisexual John) – The Consulting Detective and The Woman dominate the airwaves of their university radio station, doling out advice on everything from meeting the parents to sexual positions. When their ratings start to dip before the holidays, however, manager Mike thinks it’s time for some fresh blood, and who better to fill in the gaps than rugby captain–and notorious flirt–John Watson? Part 1 of 25 Days of Johnlock

A Home for Us by sussexbound (M, 30,581 w., 12 Ch. || Scars, Bedsharing, Grief, Doctor John, Hurt/Comfort, Post-TRF, Implied/Referenced Torture, Sherlock POV, Pining Sherlock, Suicidal Ideation, Heavy Emotions, Clingy Sherlock, Hallucinations, Disassociation, Emotional Turmoil) – He has been on the road for two years, and he is exhausted. He’s almost accepted that he will never see London (John) again—almost. But then there are nights like tonight, where he is weak, and all he can think of is the warmth of the flat they once shared, the crackle of the fire in the hearth, the teasing smile playing at the corner of John’s lips, the boxes of half-eaten Chinese takeaway balanced precariously in their laps. He aches at the memory of it, at the realisation that it is something he may never experience again.

The Whore of Babylon Was a Perfectly Nice Girl by out_there (E, 32,897 w., 1 Ch. || Past Drug Use, Blowjobs, Toplock, Mentions of Switching, Rough Sex, Background Cases, Sherlock’s Past, Sherlock’s Sexual History, Experienced Sherlock, Past One Night Stands, Fingering, Cuddling, Possessive Sherlock, Paris Holiday, Bed Sharing, Naked Lie-Ins, Bathing Together, Confessions, Worried Sherlock, Laying in Bed All Day, Meddling Mycroft, Naked Lazy Day) – Sherlock walks into a room and takes all the space right out of it. He does the same inside John’s head.

Guidelines by WithLoweredVoices (M, 43,018 w., 15 Ch. || Winglock || Angels, Fantasy, Angst, BAMF! John, War, Jealous Sherlock, Possessive Sherlock, Jealous John, Falling in Various Ways, Needy Sherlock, Wings) – The Good Soldier, one of the oldest and strongest of the fallen, is offered a bargain: to live as John Watson and to Guide a fledgling archangel so that he will stay on the path of good. Of course, Sherlock Holmes has different ideas about his destiny. Fantasy AU. Warnings for violence, occasional gore, and a whole load of hurt and angst.

Being John Watson-ish by elwinglyre (E, 69,902 w., 17 Ch. || Bodysnatcher AU || Author John, Cranky Sherlock, Angst, Sexual Tension, First Kiss / Time, Falling in Love, BAMF John, Past Soldier John, Feelings, Inside Someone’s Brain, Shy Sherlock, Sherlock Loves John, POV Sherlock, Switchlock, Slow Burn, Internal Dialogue, Mental Turmoil) – When consulting detective Sherlock Holmes steps on one toe too many at a crime scene, he’s consigned to a desk job in an archaic office on the seventh-and-a-half floor of the New Scotland Yard. It’s in this bleak office that Sherlock discovers a portal into the mind of renowned author John Watson. Grander than his mind palace, this new wonderland affords Sherlock new vistas of experimentation. To learn more about the mystery behind the portal, Sherlock seeks out and befriends Watson. But then it all goes wrong when others find the secret portal door—including the man whose brain he visits.

[monotonous-minutia]

So I weirdly actually did a thing I said I was going to do.

Here’s a handy dandy list of Nozze productions to avoid if you, like me, love Cherubino, and believe he is a precious sunflower that needs to be protected at all costs.

After watching about 20 productions of this opera (though not all of them in full) I have compiled the following list.

Truncated because it got pretty long:

*Some of what is written here is subjective so I apologize if I end up disparaging a production you’ve seen and enjoyed. But I tried to stay objective and focus on the specific details that made the production safe or not for Cherubino.

**If you’re morbidly curious and want to know what, exactly, goes on in the first two listed here, perhaps message me first to ask before seeking them out to see for yourself, to prepare.

Salzburg 2006

Do not watch this one.

It’s weird, disturbing, and borderline sadistic. I can appreciate odd productions if they look at operas in new ways, try a different take, or magnify certain elements to bring in a fresh perspective. This production does none of that. It’s just weirdly disturbing for no apparent or forgivable reasons. I’ve spent a decent amount of time searching for answers on this one but none of the critiques I’ve found have any clue what this is supposed to be, so whatever the director was trying to say, their attempts failed miserably and left an atrocity in their wake. EVERYONE in this damn thing (except Cherubino) is a freaking asshole, the set is minimalist to the point of being irrelevant and confusing, and there’s this weird, winged Cherubino look-alike going around controlling people like puppets and making them do weird dance moves during their numbers. Obviously this director did not know how to embrace the concept that some people can just stand still while they’re talking or singing. Also, people hardly ever make eye contact and it’s unnerving, like they’re all zombies. There are a lot of other small, weird details that just keep building to make this thing a terrible production overall. The worst thing about it is poor sweet Cherubino. He’s an innocent, delicate flower that’s abused by everyone in unbearable ways. I don’t even want to go into it. I beseech you not to watch this because it’s honestly kind of traumatizing. Just pretend this one doesn’t exist and you’ll be okay. 

Redeeming factors: absolutely none. Cherubino is adorable and too pure for this world but that just makes the whole thing ten times worse because of all the terrible, terrible things that happen to him.

Dutch National Opera 2016

Proceed with caution for this one. It’s a shame because the production itself is pretty decent, and Susanna and the Contessa are great. The set is interesting—versatile, rotating, lots of doors that are utilized in interesting ways. It’s mostly portraying the somewhat-empty house that the cast is moving into it (at least that’s what I gathered). Reasons to avoid: Figaro is an asshole, the Count is downright gross, and Cherubino is treated terribly by almost everyone (except the Contessa and Susanna, bless them). The only part I like is the Act 2 scene between the three of them where they are all very sweet to each other and Cherubino is delighted to dress up and the kindness he’s shown here by the ladies makes up for some of the other things that happen. The worst stuff I won’t get into; I can’t talk about it without getting super upset. In general, Cherubino is terrorized by the Count on multiple occasions (physically threatened, punched, and thrown around), Figaro is super mean to him, and he doesn’t really get any closure at the end except that Barbarina dotes on him and he clearly loves her so we can imagine that he’ll be okay. It is a joy to watch him being super awkward, dreamy, and cheeky; I just wish he’d been given a better production.

My recommendation for this one, if you do want to watch it, is skip “Non piu andrai” and go right to Act II, although there’s one aspect that’s hard to explain without seeing that. For now let’s just say: there’s a reason Cherubino is wearing a beanie at the top of the second act, and it’s Figaro’s fault. You don’t need to know what else happens. (My rec: skip forward like ten minutes after the last recit, then seek backwards until you see Susanna sitting on a crate holding a remote which is the start of Act II. That way you don’t have to see the scene even in fast-motion.) At any rate please don’t watch that scene. I want to find the person who staged it and punch them. The rest is bearable; just be warned, it’s not fun or pretty.

Honesty hour: Figaro is mean enough too that I want Susanna and Rosina to run off together and just marry each other because their chemistry here is amazing. And take Cherubino with them and keep him safe and loved forever.

Redeeming factors: Interesting set, great leading ladies, insanely adorable Cherubino, and also it’s insinuated that the Contessa actually leaves Almaviva at the end; she even threatens him with his own hunting rifle and everyone else just watches in morbid fascination. She does put the gun down at the last second, but she doesn’t go to him after, so maybe he gets kicked out. We can only hope.

Salzburg 2015

Tbh this one’s just weird and probably not worth your time anyway. The set looks like the wall of the house was cut off so we can see all the rooms inside, upstairs and downstairs, at the same time. It’s an interesting device showing how all of the scenes interact, but it’s no utilized very well. There’s so much business in multiple rooms at one time that it’s hard to focus on the people who are talking and singing at the moment. The cast is mediocre. We get Pisaroni as the Count which should have been worthwhile but isn’t because of the weirdness of the production. It’s honestly hard to tell what or who anyone is supposed to be here. Plus there’s blatant abuse from the Count to the Contessa and it’s hard to watch especially because I’m more used to a huggable Luca and this doesn’t do him justice imo. Additionally, I typically stan gay Basilio, but here he’s got a thing for Cherubino, and Cherubino is super not into it so it just comes across as gross. Mostly Cherubino is just pushed to the sidelines (the Count literally locks him into the closet for most of the end of the first act). So it really minimizes his character in general and is disappointing to Cherubino fans.

Redeeming factors: Susanna is really cute, Figaro is nice, “Non piu andrai” is not sadistic, but this is mostly because everyone leaves the room when he starts singing it so he’s just talking to himself which is weird anyway. At least there is nothing Unspeakable although I do wish I could wipe this Basilio out of my brain. Also Margarita Gritskova as Cherubino being dapper and sweet and I’d say Pisaroni but I’m not a fan of him being the mean old Count when he should be playing those sweet Rossini baritone roles.

Salzburg 1995

Susan Graham is Cherubino and she’s super adorable, although she’s taller than almost everyone else which is awkward and amusing. However everyone is VERY mean to Cherubino. Even Susanna. He gets thrown around a lot which is just sad to watch. The production overall is kind of unremarkable and the picture/sound quality isn’t great either. Watchable but just be prepared for an annoying amount of meanness from characters who should be a lot nicer.

Redeeming factors: Susan Graham is amazing and adorable. That’s pretty much it. Someone tell me what is up with Salzburg and this opera, seriously.

Royal Opera House 2006

This Cherubino is a precious duckling who gets thrown around by everyone, especially Figaro, which is super sad. Honestly so many of these are ruining the character of Figaro for me. This one is watchable and decent except for Mean Figaro. The set is elaborate and detailed but sometimes the background action with the supers gets distracting. The rest of the cast is alright but I wish they would be nicer to Cherubino who hasn’t done one single thing to warrant the abuse. I recommend avoiding it for those reasons but it’s not as bad as some of the others.

Redeeming factors: Intricate, pretty set, Dorothea Röschmann being an adorable Contessa, and Cherubino being gawky and cute.

To balance out the depressingness here are some Nozzes that I highly recommend!

Garsington 2017

My absolute favorite, a pure delight. Though there are no big names here, the entire cast is amazing. The set is glorious, detailed without being distracting, super versatile to fit all the scenes, and the final act is actually in a garden and it’s just so PRETTY. The chemistry between Figaro and Susanna is lovely; they obviously adore each other and are a great team throughout all their plots. The Count is reasonably dislikable without being detestable, so the apology at the end is actually kind of believable (though it’s hard to pull off in general). He and the Contessa actually have an interesting dynamic so you can kind of see how they might make things work in the end (some of their arguments are more banter-y than mean and they actually make out briefly in “Susanna, or via, sortite” as if they’re kind of turned on by each other’s fury). The supporting cast is great too, full of personality and mischief. The staging is lighthearted, genuine, and intricate. THIS is what a Nozze should be! Cherubino is adorable, cheeky, super loveable, a SHAMELESS flirt, and best of all everyone loves him (except the Count obviously). Figaro is really nice to him too and “Non piu andrai” is really cute because he and Susanna are teasing him the entire time but it NEVER gets mean and it’s honestly so refreshing. Highly recommend this one!

Met 1998

Featuring my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHERUBINO, the incomparable Susanne Mentzer, as well as my favorite Contessa ever, Renèe Fleming. I could talk about those two forever. They are both individually fantastic and their collaboration is amazing. I died, to be honest. Also features an amazing Susanna courtesy of Cecilia Bartoli and a simply adorable Danielle de Niesse as Barbarina. Figaro is pretty mean to Cherubino especially during “Non piu andrai” (seriously what is it with directors and this number) but it’s nothing compared to so many others so it’s watchable especially because Mentzer is fantastic and she steals the entire scene without even saying anything because she’s amazing. Her Cherubino is just the sweetest, sassiest, most adorable, energetic, and expressive Cherubino ever to bless the operatic stage. She’s exactly what Cherubino should be in every way and the production fully supports it. Watching the entire Cherubino-Susanna-Contessa scene in Act 2 is one of my favorite things in the world. The production itself is classic, detailed and true to the period, busy without being distracting, and the rest of the cast is good too.

Liege 2018

A very cute production featuring a super sweet Figaro who teases Cherubino but is not mean to him. Cherubino is sassy and endearing and very much the flirt with every lady in sight, and is pretty popular among them. The rest of the cast is good too and we get a particularly sassy Susanna (whose chemistry with the Contessa is lovely). The set is simple but very pretty. Another lighthearted, sweet, and genuine portrayal that stays true to the heart of this opera.

Glyndebourne 1973

A classic; lots of familiar names, lush period set/costumes, and staging that’s simple but effective. Featuring the insanely adorable Frederica von Stade as Cherubino. Her smile melts my heart every time. A mostly nice Figaro and great leading ladies.

Obviously there are way more productions out there, and I’ve watched more than this, but these are the ones that to me are most noteworthy from one end of the scale or the other.

This list may get longer as I watch more, but I think I’m going to take a break from Nozze for a little bit (or more likely just re-watch the Garsington one and Mentzer’s Cherubino over and over again).

[stuckasmain]

I still don’t think your ready for it, but here’s my Batb Cruise show review:

Yes you read the title completely right, I was made aware of this a day or two ago but apparently one of the Disney Cruises is doing/did beauty and the beast the musical but based upon the live action movie. So naturally a massive fan of the live action I was both shocked and wildly confused, lucky for me I found a video on the entire performance(likely taken from a cruise tv.) from what I skimmed over it looks like instead of full body suits to look like they are it’s going to be regular (human outfits.) and then puppets, so I am Really really interested to see how this goes.

The timing is a little off we skip the prologue (Aria etc.) and start straight in How does a moment last forever... are they placing Belle after it? It was before in the movie. Wait oh my god he’s also narrator- it is the prologue! Pulled a sneaky one on ya.

•Adams dramatic sassy hand movements are my entire life (no dance just this art right here.)

•The enchantress looks straight outa Atlantis but I LOVE the effects used omllll

• MARIE THE BAGUETTES.

•who needs her when you’ve got us (LE DUO OMG- it’s the thing.)

•from what I’m seeing it’s a combination of both the animated and live action, as some lyrics/moments are the animated , like Lefou reverted back to his original sorta idiot phase.

•met HER saw HER *kick* we stan.

•Lefou just waving his bag in the girls face. Legend lmao.

•a LOT more comedy then the movie. When Gaston drops the Boquet Lefou picks it up and smells it and just melts all cute like. My heart?

•”keep moving old legs.”

•Gaston is also a lot more like the animated, more dumbed down for comedic effect.

•so there’s no Philippe so some dudes took her dads wagon. That’s how jumanji started you know smh.

•PUPPETS IM SCREAMING.

Lumire looks like he’s absolutely losing his mind I’m deadddd. Also Cogsworth’s wig is my entire life.

• ok so the beasts voice- he sounds like a Pirate I’m crying “ee stole me rose matey.��

•belle straight up using the stick like a musket

•OML SO I NOW SEE THE EYES ON THE PUPPET AND IM LOSING MY DAMN MIND.

•storage space! Storage space! For all of Lumiere’s shoes! His shoes yes he had a feel large collection of shoes- he rather likes Heels-

Cogsworth.

What?

Stop talking.

•while my love massages my tight caves.

I’ll massage your caves Gaston!

Who has no one snatched you up yet? (He didn’t say girl :0)

•everyones awed and inspired by au

Gaston placing a hand to his chest.

•Gaston kissing his own portait, no bimbettes Lefou sings their line, no Tom , Dick or stanley that I can see either

•they all start russian dancing instead of the stopping/sword fight. Weird flex but ok.

Now the girls are... is that the cancan?

•Fun cult activity’s with friends

•lefou dreamily gasping over gaston along with the women.

•WHERED THE UKALELE COME FROM?!

• they kept my favorite line :)

•So Gaston has the French flag now? Also Maurice runs in automatically? Damn there goes pacing i guess- like aren’t they supposed to be together for at least awhile before going after her jeez

•why’s every single woman in this show use a super high pitched cutesy voice “YeAaA!” Is the audience one year olds and dogs???

•Gaston was a captain :0 Damn high rank.

•or a Budae *laughing* *distant roar* *s c r e a m *

•Madame de Garderobe has me screaming lmaoooo

•Mrs.Potts was a governess? Wack.

•ok so I cant describe the noise i made

L: OH YES! Darling

P: high pitched giggling.

The stage is still black and I can’t breathe-

They were definitely- whatever the equivalent would be of making out

•This plan is uh Dangerous~

I’m-I’m gay for the featherduster. This is not allowed. THEY ARE SO CUTE I CANNOT FUNCTION.

*more adorable couple giggling*

Cogsworth coughing

•food fashion show.. I cannot... I can’t function.

•Lumiere being dramatic:

Coggsworth: if i had hands, I’d slap you.

•*Whispers*Skin.

That’s- that’s not creepy at all lmao.

C’Est LA SALADE I CANT BREATHE WHATS HAPPENING.

•you lost me 2 verses ago now there’s cheese

•no one:

Plumette giggling and calling out everything:

•HOW IS MADAME DOWNSTAIRS IM SO CONFUSED

•OWWWWWWWWEWWWWWWWWWWW.

That hurts.

•ok so Mrs. Potts being a governess in this version now makes sense as she’s the one to start days in the sun instead of the queen/little Adam

•So Candenza is completely gone from this version????? So Lumierè and Plumette get both love lines from the song. Their still busy being cute as hell tho. (Does this imply their also singers? Pretty sure their still just footman/maid.)

•cogsworth now has Mrs.Potts lines but his voice is great.

•instead of soup it’s tea he I N H A L E and belle looks SO done lmao. Also no library?

•oh jeez yea no library just straight into something there.

•oh so the library is now IN something there, alright.

•Adam just DECKS Lumiere. Idk what that was about lmao - showing he’s nice now by uppercutting a candlestick across the room.

• BELLE:D this dork-

•Hes making jokes now.

•SWORDS. FIGHTING.

•”we love you.” But... everyone is still all-

Ok so either Mrs.Potts is a massive liar or they don’t count

•the dress is low key just as underwhelming as in the film

• Adam is trying *SHOVES CHAMPAGNE IN FACE*

•Plumette keeps running on and off stage idk what that’s about.

•the danceeeee

•Adam keeps talking about his mom

•no evermore ;-; my favorite song and it’s gone for a 5 second day’s in the sun reprise.

I’m wounded.

•belle casually taking a dudes knife to cut them free

•I feel like the mob song is cute down a lot, also Lumiere comes in sliding on his knees. Respect.

•”Gaston help.” Is kinda like nothing now as they have been so comedic. I feel nothing.

•i like the way they executed the final fight (beast/Gaston as servents vs the villages was literally nothing.)

•Lumiere sliding in on his knees again *French accent*YAAAAAAS

•ok so the death scene still hurts me like a truck.

Lumire: guys we did it :)

*literally watches the love of his life, his best friend and other friends die(yes it’s technically death.)*

Everyone steps away from the puppet and turns around, the lighting goes dark I’m - ;-;

•the prince is low key better in the suit the guy playing him is uhhhhhhhh I know the whole point is to look past Appearance but who’s dad is this?

•I’m absolutely SCREAMING. Instead of the dramatic one by one they all pop up together and collectively go :00000 what?! Whoa!

•Lumiere and Plumette low key not even a “hi.” Just kiss and start dancing. Mood.

•Ballet attack part 2 and middle aged prince returns.

•No chip or Madame at the end either! :0

•oh wait here’s chip!

Cogsworth melting in the background is me

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬/𝐏𝗼𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥𝐬

so as I’ve said it’s like a mash up of the original and the remake with some of the choices it makes, I think it really makes or breaks some of the characters.

Lefou/Gaston-

Both of them fell back more into their Cartoon counterparts of : here to be the bad guy, here to be funny. Both of them become so overly comedic that you wouldn’t be able to tell who’s line was whos if you were shown them without being told. I think , funny as they were it negatively effected their character’s. Same case with the beast he definitely became more comedic if anything at all.

Lumierè/Cogsworth/Plumette-

These guys I think are the opposite. I think having a slight bit more of the animated made both banter and flirting hike it’s way up. Cogsworth and Lumierè were more showy in their banter , while Lumierè and Plumette were much more loud and showy with banter. Also the accents are art. Mrs. Potts was there to be the mother like figure and not given much of herself

Rip to chip who had like 4 lines and didn’t even show up to seconds before curtain. Also Madame de Garderobe who was there to be a good singer and nothing more as she lost her whole arc.Rip to Cadenza, Frou frou , Chapu and Philippe for being written out all together.

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬/𝐭𝐡𝗼𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬

As I’ve said the changes either make or break some moments, like adding a overwhelming amount of comedy like the og movie. As funny as it was it did not have that same weight/gravity the remake did in its more serious/emotional scenes like the death/human again scenes I felt little here and Gaston betraying Lefou. As well as having the more serious/soft songs as the remake really backfired with so much comedy, and not even the more Witty subtle humor of the movie. Funny, but odd as character choice

So I know you had to cut it down a lot in order to fit it on stage however, nessisary parts or songs (evermore ;-;) were completely excluded likely do to the slightly unessisary over extension of dance numbers in Gaston(that didn’t need it) and Be our guest. Which could have been time better spent.

The servants are the absolute saving grace of this musical. The costumes! Oh!(again cogsworths wig is my life.) the humor! The acting, the singing, the relationships- all of it- all of it. They carry the entire thing, and if I’m honest it’s mainly Lumierè, Cogsworth and Plumette, occasionally Mrs. Potts if you stretch.

Things I Love in Newsies- Act 1

Both in the Cast Recording and the actual Broadway Show

- When Jack and Crutchie are singing ‘Santa Fe (Prologue)’ and Crutchie sings “watch me run” and he gets real sad and Jack’s having none of that and proceeds to tell him how much he and the other boys care for him. That makes me soft.

- Race’s Curls

- Race’s beautiful blue eyes

- In the Broadway Show, when Race says, “Hey, that’s my cigar!” his voice goes up and it’s real cute

- When all the curtains come up and you finally see all the Newsies and they all turn around when they sing “out there carrying the banner”

- Katherine shows up and straight-up roasts Jack after knowing him 3 seconds. “Hey I’ve got a headline for you. ‘Cheeky Boy Get’s Nothing For His Troubles’.”

- “It takes a smile that spreads like butter.” Crutchie is precious y’all

- When the Nuns show up, the boys all lift Crutchie up on some of their shoulders

- Elmer, King of Sass

- Nun: “Elmer, when are we going to see you inside the church?”

Elmer: “I dunno Sister, but it’s bound to rain sooner or later.”

- The way they jump on each other all the time

- The way Jack says, “Hey, that is not nice, Morris.” When Morris pushes Crutchie- he’s like an angry puppy.

- When the Delancey’s run after Jack, one of the boys picks up Crutchie instead of expecting him to keep up and it’s cute

- All of this is LITERALLY JUST EVERYTHING UP TO ‘CARRYING THE BANNER’

- “Whatever happened to romance?”

- Davey is PURE

- “Honest mistake- probably on account of Oscar can’t count to 20 with shoes on.”

- “What kinda Newsie don’t want more papes?”

- Les could possibly out sass Race and Elmer

- Les really knows how to be manipulative

- Miss Medda’s love for Jack Kelly and how slides across the floor to hug her and how he is around her keeps me alive

- Les bending over backwards to stare at a lady’s costume in the theatre because “I CAN SEE HER LEGS”

- Everyone fawning over Jack’s backdrop he painted and he just being like, “Take it easy, it’s a bunch of trees.”

- “Now honey, that’s rich!”

- “Oh! Somewhere out there someone cares. Go tell them :)”

- Les pushing everyone away from Jack because “LET THE MAN WORK IT OUT.”

- “Do you have a statement of purpose?”

“Must have left that in my other pants.”

- Davey being so against the strike till Jack gets all up in his face

- That music when someone’s writing up the headline and when Jack writes ‘STRIKE’ on the board

- Davey’s the brains

- Davey is the one that starts the thing where they take their bags that they carry their papers in and everyone follows suit

- “When you’ve got a hundred voices singing, who can hear a lousy whistle blow?”

- “So the world says NO! Well the kid’s DO TOO! Try to walk all over us we’ll stomp all over you.” And they get really aggressive and take their hats off- it hits my SOUL

- When Jack says, “who wants Brooklyn?” and everyone turns away and goes silent

- Katherine and Jack SASSING each other when she comes in to talk to them and everyone reacts when they say anything 

- “What’s the last news story you wrote?”

“What’s the last strike you organised?” 

- Katherine fangirling over her getting an actual chance to write a good story

- Jack trying to play Dark and Dangerous Flirt and Katherine’s like ‘yea.. okay.”

- He drops it because he’s like ‘damn it she ain’t buying it.’

- Katherine’s song is so cute

- The Newsies cornering the boys who aren’t joining the strike and they get in their faces and it’s a little gay

- The harmonies when they sing “Houston to Harlem, look what’s begun!”

- The dance number in ‘Seize The Day’

- Specifically when Davey and Jack start the dance and they’re all just doing that little swipe with their foot but it just ERUPTS

- Since Les and Crutchie aren’t in the number, they come in the middle to rip the first newspaper in half together

- When they dance and do that routine with the newspapers under their feet

- Throwing the papers out off the stage and into the audience at the end of the first dance number in the song 

- “No one can make us quit before we’re done!” 

- Crutchie doing this dance move with his foot as the last person to the platform

- They slowly pile up on one of the platforms when the number ends with them posing on it for the photo and if you watch the broadway show, everyone GOES WILD AND STANDS UP

- Jack hiding Les in a barrel to hide him from the fight and protect him

- “Newsies forever, second to none.”

- Jack being so emotional and tired out at the beginning of ‘Santa Fe’

- Jack taking his hat off at the end of ‘Santa Fe’

Prompt list

It’s finally time! I’ve just moved to London got myself a really cool loft just outside the city and whew chile the relief of it all, as if all the stars aligned Harry Styles just announced a secret show in London. I might actually faint of excitement.

I got my tickets and the show is in a few days, I went out and got myself a brand-new outfit. I’m hoping its subtle, but I KNOW it screams “harry”. I literally have no friends here yet but sis stan twitter has got my back and I already have people to que with, so I don’t look like a total loner.

The next few days fly by and my loft is starting to feel like home a little more every day with subtle hints of fangirl in it, I found this really cute poster of a kiwi that’s hanging just above my fake fireplace in the living room only to be described in one word AMAZING.

There’s a new neighbor in the loft above mine this week who’s being pretty mysterious like, I have not seen them once, but I guess we might cross paths eventually. Who knows they might be cute lol a little romance never killed anyone.

Its concert day and I AM FREAKING OUT like I need to pull it together sis but how could I when the LA show looked so amazing and was literally EVERYTHING. I’ve done a cute makeup look and my hair is in a cute messy bun, but I have never looked this goof, let’s be real I’ve waited on this moment since forever an intimate show of ANY of the OT5 is a dream come true!

I take the subway to the koko and I’m met by a reasonable line. I can tell I’m definitely going to have a good spot!

It’s time to good inside and I have a perfect view of the stage, I am loving life right now. It’s almost showtime and I just know I’m not mentally prepared for the outfits, the live songs but most all just harry in general.

The moment he’s about to hit the stage the whole mood in the room changes, I can smell his dominant aura coming and there he is in all his glory, the crowd goes wild and in the mids of the hysteria I can’t help but stay calm. I can imagine how weird I looked to others, but I’ve never felt so calm, how does he do that?

I think I’ve been going crazy cause I swear I saw Harry glance in my direction a few times, but I hear the opening note of Falling and I lose it like I’m singing along holding my heart with tears streaming down my face. Harry looks over at me and I can’t help but smile even though I look a mess, but he looks at me and winks. He mouths something but I couldn’t tell you if I tried.

The girls around me freak out and honestly so am I on the INSIDE, I can’t seem like a crazy fangirl, now can I? The concert is nearing the end and I never want to lose this feeling!

It’s been a week since the concert, and I’ve been through severe PCD. After the concert the girls I met there, and I went out for a late coffee. Turns out I wasn’t the only person noticing Harry’s continuous glance in our/my direction, so I am not going crazy.

I’ve been expecting a package for over a month right and apparently my mysterious neighbor has had it for the past 3 days and every time I go up to get it, they’re not home. Honestly why take a package if you knew you weren’t going to be home? What sense does that make?

It’s been a week without my package and I’ve honestly had enough, I am over it.

Honestly, I’m on my way up and if I don’t get my package, they can keep it. The books were expensive and I’m looking forward to reading but, sheesh.

The elevator opens and It’s a hall with one door, so I ring the doorbell. Color me surprised cause I see Jeff Azoff in front of me and I’m star struck! When I catch myself, I muster up my most confident voice and say “um hi I’m looking for my package it was delivered here. I’m y/n from the loft a floor down” And an all too familiar voice goes “Jeff who is it” and then there he is once again in front of me. Someone catch me I’m going to faint.

Just kidding he looks at me and goes “Hi I’m Harry weren’t you at the concert last week?” HE KNOWS WHO I AM “ um hi yeah great show by the way” and I look over at jeff with a raised eyebrow cause um  MY PACKAGE and he goes “oh yeah H she’s looking for a package that was delivered here” like being in his presence is so demanding and he hasn’t done anything lol.

“Oh, you’re y/n then?” HE KNOWS MY NAME “yeah that’s me I’ve come by a few times to collect it, but no one was here” I said scratching my neck. Like a dear caught in headlights I hear Harry go “Yeah sorry about that things got kind of crazy for a little bit after the show” “It’s fine honestly It’s just a few paperback books I’ve been waiting to read” he gives the cutest little chuckle and tells Jeff where to locate the package before turning to me and going “ You caught my eye during the show you looked so wrecked during falling I was genuinely worried” I couldn’t held but laugh “Let’s just say the song hit home haha but I had the time of my life, don’t worry” he looks at me with the most amazing smile I’ve ever seen and I feel a slight blush making it’s way to my face as he replies “Well seeing as you live a floor under me does this mean I’ll be seeing you more?” I chuckle “If you want to, I can always leave a piece of me in the way you dress” and we both started laughing “I might actually like that especially if it’s the shirt you wore to the concert” what can I say ladies gentlemen and everything in between and far outside those norms a good outfit always does the trick. “It was cute wasn’t it? haha I was worried it would’ve been a bit too much if I’m honest” “You looked amazing.”

Before I got the chance to freak myself out over the fact that I am actually flirting with Harry Styles, there comes Jeff with the box of books. “Those are heavy what did you order bricks y/n?” I laugh “They’re books haha” Jeff puts down the box and Harry picks it up the box and offers to help me bring it down to my loft. We head towards the elevator and got in when Harry says, “So how about we have coffee this week?” I look up at him and see him smiling down on me “I’d really like that; we can have coffee at my place if you’d like?”

I open the front door and tell him to place the box on the couch while leading him to the living room. I can see him scoping out the loft before his eyes land on the framed kiwi photo “Don’t tell me you’ve got a lyric letter sticker somewhere with the lyrics to Kiwi as well” he says laughing “haha Harold I just might put up the ‘Holland tunnel for a nose it’s always backed up’ lyric” I said while winking.

After 20 more minutes of casual flirting he announces he must leave so I walk him to the door and give a peck on the cheek thanking him for helping me with the package.

As I close the door and turn to the mirror to freak out, I see what I look like and freak out for a whole other reason I LOOK LIKE A MESS.

Harry styles is my insanely hot and talented neighbor and I met him looking like a whole MESS.
