cold callback as well, :3c for funsies,
VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: (purely aesthetic appreciation of looks)
💗💗💗💗 - He's super charmed by the look of Ladnah's markings/vitiligo, he finds it striking. Plus, he's a big sucker for smiles and he thinks that Ladnah's genuine, joyful smile is so pretty. He does find Lad's current appearance more his speed than he did when they were younger though.
FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: (how close a friend they consider them)
💗💗💗💗💗 - That's his mfing bestie!! There's nothing he wouldn't do for this guy; he's ride or die for this dude. They've been friends for so long and been there beside each other through their biggest hardships, y'know? Oda doesn't show his deeper emotions to anyone, but if they ever truly became too much, Ladnah is the one he would go to.
SEXUAL DESIRE: (wanting to have sex with them)
💗💗 - This could be higher, but he values things with Lad as they are too much to muddy things with that kind of dynamic when he can seek this desire out elsewhere without worry.
ROMANTIC INTENT: (hoping for a romantic relationship)
💗💗 - Okay this one is... complicated lol. Odarem didn't much entertain the idea of any quads with Lad when they were younger- I mean, they were both going through a heavy break-up, and then getting into time-consuming careers- it really wasn't an option tbh.
But... over the many sweeps that they've known each other, there's been a quiet, gentle thing in Oda's chest, and he could feel it growing. He was content enough to just feel it, no need to bring it up with Lad, just leave it be and let it be a bolster for the platonic love that he feels.
When he learned about Lad's pale crush/pale relationship with Masumi, there was a quiet, private moment where he told himself that was time to let the proverbial bloom start wilting, so to speak. It's emotional, but he is content to let it go as quietly as he felt it.

For a request, what if you're terrified of spiders and one night you find one in your bedroom? Panic, maybe even some screaming and Azriel comes barging in, Truth-Teller in his hand, ready to annihilate whoever dared to hurt you, thinking you're in real danger? Something cute and funny like that?
thank you so much for requesting this, anon! i had so much fun writing this :) i hope it is to your liking!
as always, i’m open to any feedback so do let me know what you think. as you can see, recently i’m on a kinda writing streak hehe so i’ll probably post some more later tonight/tomorrow! also, as before i apologize for any mistakes - english isn’t my first language
genre: fluff
warnings: spiders?
word count: 1424
pairing: Azriel x fem!reader (no use of y/n)
Fear of spiders, and all
You hummed in contentment as you turned the page of the novel you were reading. This was just the kind of slow evening you enjoyed the most, the cool spring breeze flowing through the window, your mate in the kitchen cooking something for the two of you to snack on, and your heart warmed at the domesticity of it all. After the war with Hybern and the chaos concerning it, all you craved was to go back to the slow life you and Azriel tried to lead, without thinking of any possible dangers or threats. This was normal, so normal, and you loved the idea of that.
As you tried to focus back on the words on the page you saw a flash of a small black figure in your periphery. You froze and slowly turned your head to the left, and there on the bedside table you saw it. A spider. And they were one the things you feared the most, which sounds sort of ironic considering you’re one of the most skilled warriors of the Night Court, who knows if not even the whole Prythian. However, that conclusion did not stop you from making an excruciatingly high-pitched, bloodcurdling scream. You crawled from under the covers and jumped off the bed, on the floor, a terrified expression on your features. As you continued screaming the small creature kept crawling around, absolutely unphased. Your bare feet were getting cold on the hardwood floors, as you stumbled back, your back hitting the cold wall behind you.
It was a matter of seconds before Azriel barged into your shared bedroom, his shadows pulled taut, ready to alert him of what had put you in danger, his navy blue siphones blazing, Truth-Teller in hand. Azriel scanned the room for any possible threats, his posture ready to kill whoever dared terrify you so much.
When he didn’t notice anything unusual he turned to face you, frowning, concerned lacing his hazel eyes.
“What is it?” he said carefully, and you wondered how he, of all people, the spymaster, managed to miss the monster unawarely crawling on your bedside table “There!” your voice still high-pitched as you pointed toward the creature. Az seemed to have noticed the spider this time, his shoulders slightly slumping as he approached the creature that terrified you so much. He strapped the dagger back to his thigh, and broke down laughing, which caused you to frown and glare at him “What the fuck are you laughing at?” you asked, still alert and scared, your back pressing onto the stone wall.
“Is this what scared you so much, sweetheart?” that caused your frown to deepen as you didn’t quite understand why he even asked. “Yes? Kill it or something, please” you asked, voice small, Azriel’s presence always comforting you, but even it not quite managing to ease your fear of spiders. He chuckled and looked at you, love and adoration in his eyes, not that you could notice it when the spider was still crawling about so close to you, putting you at unease.
He made his way out of the room and you followed suit, clutching his muscled arm as you asked in confusion “Where do you think you’re going?” “To deal with that ever so terrifying creature, love?” His teasing made a crase form in between your brows, but you didn’t bother to ask any deeper as you walked to the kitchen, Azriel’s arm clutched in between your two, cradled close to your chest. “I hate to ask this, I really do, but you need to let go of me, I’m afraid” his eyes burning into you, amusement shining in them, as he cupped your cheek with one of his scarred hands, and kissed the top of your nose. You obeyed and perched up on the kitchen island, content about being away from the spider. Az entered your shared bedroom, a book and cup in hand, which made you ever so slightly confused but you chose to just shrug it off.
Seconds later he was heading for the garden, holding the book, on top of which sat a glass, turned upside down, making for a cage for the spider. And now at the sight of that, it was your turn to chuckle. Because the thought of the feared Shadowsinger Spymaster, strongest Illyrian in existence, and one of the most powerful men ever, gently holding a spider carrying it in order to save it from his terrified girlfriend, was, well quite bemusing. You smiled in adoration at him, and at the fact that this soft side of him was reserved for you only, and you couldn’t help but feel special.
As he was entering the house, he slightly furrowed his brows at your amusement, eyes shining in confusion. He placed the items he used to help the spider on the counter next to you, and got closer to you as you sat perched on the island. He put his hands on your waist and stood between your legs as his shadows surrounded you, gently playing with your hair and the hem of your shirt, as if soothing, comforting you. Azriel, confused as ever, as to why it was now you laughing, asked “What?” “Nothing” you replied, drawing out the syllables and he frowned at your teasing. “Need I remind you that you were the one literally screaming at a completely harmless creature, the size smaller than that of a nail?” he teased, eyebrows raised high as he pulled you closer to him, and just as he was about to open his mouth, probably to tease you further, you pressed your lips against his and kissed him.
He stilled for a fraction of a second, as if surprised but quickly took the initiative, deepening the kiss. You moaned slightly as his tongue explored the depths of your mouth, and pulled on his hair. His arms circled around you, pressing you impossibly closer to him. You gently bit his lower lip, and it was his time to sigh, and moments later you were pulling away to catch a breath. He looked at you, his eyes burning into your figure so deeply, rendering you afraid about melting under his gaze. “Can’t say I don’t enjoy getting shut up like this” he breathed and you smiled lightly.
Concerned laced his features as he put a strand of hair behind your ear “Are you alright now?” you nodded your head eagerly, your heartbeat finally slowing back to normal. He looked at you for a bit longer, as if waiting for any fear or discomfort to appear on your face. When he made sure you were, indeed, perfectly fine, it was him reaching down to capture your lips in a passionate kiss and quickly you were putting your legs around his waist, and pressing your chest to his. He swiftly picked you up and carried you toward the couch where he set you down, breaking the kiss.
“Snacks?” he suggested but you stayed there in silence, eyes wide, your breath not quite back yet. He chuckled and turned around saying “I’ll take that as a yes” and went into the kitchen, leaving some of his shadows to gently caress your skin.
Your gaze was kept on him as he went into your bedroom, and seconds later returned with your long forgotten book in one hand, and a bowl of your favorite snacks in the other. He made his way to sit next to you, hand the bowl into your hands and lay the both of you down on the narrow couch, causing you to lay basically on top of him. He put an arm around your waist and draped a wing over you, creating some warmth. You tucked yourself into him, humming at the warmth radiating from his body. He gave you back your book and asked “Are we reading?” you looked at him over your shoulder “You want to read with me?” a warm sensation filling your chest at the domesticity of this. “Why, of course. What if there’s another spider somewhere here? I need to protect you from those vile, dangerous monsters-” you smacked his shoulders “Oh, shut up already” you murmured causing him to let out a laugh. “Sorry, I’m sorry! I won’t tease you anymore, promise,” he said, kissing the back of your head, breathing in your scent “You know I love you, with the fear of spiders and all.” You huffed but silently basked in the still needed comfort of your mate. “I love you too.”

₊⋆ ☾⋆⁺₊⋆CHOCOLATE EXCHANGE⋆★
Happy Valentine's Day from the ECLIPSE team! Thank you for your continued support of the zine! Please view the accompanying fanfiction below!
───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ─────
It feels almost silly to be wearing something so formal only to hang out at crase café. Toya went to the lengths of renting out the entire café space just for the two of them.
However, Toya left instructions for Akito to follow with a change of clothes.
Akito finds the prepared suit far too stuffy, but he would endure it for Toya. After placing his purchased box of espresso chocolate truffles on the table, Akito stirs in his seat with antsy hands.
It’s not long before Toya enters the cafe. The familiar ring causes Akito to perk up and offer Toya an awkward wave. Toya’s outfit matches Akito’s in motif and color, but he wears a hat on his head and his box of chocolates seems to be close enough as a professional’s.
Knowing Toya, though, it’s definitely homemade. Akito regrets that he didn’t make his chocolate by himself, but there’s always White Day next month.
Toya sits in the seat across from Akito and beams at him. “Happy Valentine’s Day, Akito. I can’t express my gratitude enough in words, but I always want you to know how important you are to me. Please accept this.” He holds his box up to Akito.
“You’re always so formal,” Akito laughs, but he takes it almost too eagerly. “Thanks, Toya. These homemade?”
“Yes, but please be assured that they are in prime condition.” Toya nods with a reassuring smile.
“Truthfully, it’s thanks to KAITO-san and the others for helping me make the best chocolate for the best partner, but think of it as a collective effort on everyone’s part.”
“Geez, now you make me feel lame that I just bought you some from the store…”
Akito clears his throat, trying his best to maintain eye contact. “Well, it’s still from a fancy chocolate store, so I guess that makes up for it.”
“Of course it does, Akito.” Toya smiles as Akito takes his chocolate. Akito slides his store bought box over to Toya in exchange. On the count of three, both of them tug at the ribbon and unravel their respective gift boxes. Eyes on both sides glint at the contents.
“Just checking, but…” Akito begins as he picks up one of the pieces of chocolate in his hand.
He rotates it between two fingers, inspecting it and all of its details. He takes a bite of it, letting the chocolate and orange filling melt onto his tongue. “Are these obligatory chocolates?”
Toya picks up a chocolate of his own, nodding at the aroma and reveling in the cocoa powder dusting his finger tips. “Akito, you know those aren’t obligatory chocolates. Unless you mean…?”
“Of course not! True feelings and all… well, thanks, Toya. This is super good.”
Akito finishes it off and licks his fingers. “I’ll return the favor on White Day… a whole lot more. Watch out.”
“Me too, Akito. I’ll make sure to make something even better.” Toya nods with some sort of new resolve in his eyes.
Akito shakes his head with a huff. “Just buy something, seriously. I can’t let you show me up next time…”
Toya laughs, popping his truffle into his mouth. After a thoughtful chew and a hum of delight, Toya smiles. “No promises.”

it was a pretty afternoon around vivid street, with the sunset directly in your view. if it weren't for the past few days, you would've admired the sunset a bit more.
seeing crase cafe in the view, you stopped walking and silently mulled over ken's story from two days ago.
"nagi quietly drew her last breath."
you couldn't believe it yourself. as someone who watched RAD WEEKEND, witnessing the glory of the event with two other kids you didn't know would become your friends, one of them becoming your girlfriend...it was all too surreal.
an was devastated. you had never seen her cry harder than she did the other day. seeing her cry made your eyes teary. but the storytelling was over, along with the years of lies.
you drew a quick breath before entering crase cafe, seeing an alone, washing a few dishes with an unreadable expression. she completely ignored the chime of the bell.
"...an, i'm here." you quietly said, announcing your presence. the said girl withdrew from washing the dishes and made her way to you. she wasn't wearing the usual outfit, and instead had the outfit wore when working.
"thanks for coming by, y/n." an smiled. her smile had weight. so did her words. "I was a bit bored alone, so i had to hit you up." she wiped her wet hands on her apron. "i could make you your favorite."
you immediately shook your head, denying any work from an. "no, an. i need you to tell me the truth." you said sternly, creasing your eyebrows. "that chat with ken and vivid bad squad the other day...about nagi." you held her hand gently, squeezing it. "...you haven't gotten over it, have you?"
you could feel an tense over your question, biting her lip as she tried to make an excuse. "i...i don't know what you're talking about." she denied, with a shaky voice. "i already let out my feelings then, you know. you saw me, you know, um..." she paused as she let out a soft sigh, looking away. "cry."
you nod. "i know, but that doesn't mean you've let out everything. your still stressed over it." you continue, pressing on. "i can hear it in your voice, you-"
"just stop, y/n." you look at an closely to see that her eyes are glossy again, with tears brimming at her eyes. "stop telling me how i'm acting, stop it!" she cried, letting go of your hands to frantically wipe her tears.
you reached in to remove her hands from her face, wiping her tears gently with your thumb. "so i'm telling you, let it out. i'm here for you." you whisper, wrapping your arms around her figure. at that, she completely breaks down in your embrace.
"y/n...nagi agreed with me, that we'd be singing on the stage together!" an sobbed in your shoulder, her hands weakly gripping your shirt.
"first, dad lied to me, but made it up because nagi was there for me," an rambled on. "nagi told me...that she'd never lie to me...i hoped that we'd have steak together...we'd practice singing...play games..." an breathed heavily, crying in the crook of your neck. "everyone kept it a secret from me, even my dad...i hate this feeling, y/n. what do i do...?" an trembled, her broken voice resounding through the cafe.
"an, breathe." you softly rubbed circles on her back, hoping to calm her down. "it'll be okay, an."
an buried her face in your shoulder, sniffling and holding you tightly. you chuckled and pat her head. "you've been holding in a lot, huh?"
"shut up." you heard her grumble, making you smile. she raised her head from the embrace, with creased eyebrows and puffy face. but you still loved her anyway.
"i love you lots, an." you gently confessed, rubbing her cheek with your thumb. "don't you ever forget that."
"i love you more, y/n." an gave a small but radiant smile, with admiration flickering across her face. "do you think i'm meant to understand, all those actions that nagi did?"
you shrug lightly, and smile back. "maybe we're not meant to understand yet. why don't we try to untie the knots one by one?"
an nods, with a sigh of relief. "mhm. let's."
gazing at the rainy window, you widen your eyes. "shoot...i didn't bring an umbrella, and it's raining outside..."
an sighed, but giggled. "then why don't we talk until the rain is gone?"
"sure." you agree, letting an take your hand to lead you.
in eachother's eyes, both of you see someone to love. though, you see adoration in an's eyes, as if to say, "thanks."
~
i live for the tale
of life and joy, so don't forget
it's not goodbye yet.

Hello! This is pure speculation but - giving Elizabeth being sick after Arthur's birth, her being ill again (around 1497 I think?) when Margaret Beaufort mentions that in a letter (and this time it had nothing to do with a pregnancy, as far as I know), the fear for her life at Edmund's birth etc., do you think she might have had a more fragile constitution than what was previously assumed?
I ask that because some (most) historians really portray her as super healthy and having these easy pregnancies without actually diving a little deeper. To me, at least - and again it's only my opinion based on speculation - she does not seem to have had such easy pregnancies as assumed, or such a robust health as usually supposed.
I could very much be wrong, but I was really curious to know your opinion on the matter. I hope you have a great day! 😊💜
Hi! Recently Anna Duch has highlighted Elizabeth of York's difficult pregnancies. There's the time she was ill right after Arthur's birth in 1486 (and possibly before his birth too, as she didn't accompany the king on his northern progress even though symbols representing both king and queen had been programmed in advance), Prince Edmund's pregnancy in 1499 when the Spanish ambassador said her life was despaired of, her pregnancy in 1502 that saw some medical expenses following each other very closely, Princess Katherine's birth in 1503, and that illness alluded by Margaret Beaufort after Princess Mary's birth in 1496 (not 1497). We know that because her letter to Elizabeth's Lord Chamberlain is dated 25 April 1496 (Mary was born on 18 March 1496):
As for news here I am sure ye shall have more surety than I can send you. Blessed be God, the King, the Queen, and all our sweet children be in good health. The Queen hath been a little crased [i.e., ill], but now she is well, God be thanked. Her sickness is [?not] so good as I would but I trust hastily it shall, with God’s grace, whom I pray give you good speed in your great matters, and bring you well and soon home.
Margaret signs her letter at the Palace of Sheen (later Richmond), which makes me think she was accompanying the queen during her confinement before and after the birth. So what we have here is Margaret retelling the queen's sickness a month after her last labour, and knowing Elizabeth became sick after Arthur's birth as well, this illness might have had to do with childbirth too. But Elizabeth might have had poor health in general. We can't trace all of the medical expenses Henry VII paid for his wife, for example, to her pregnancies. Although Elizabeth's health is not often discussed, there's an old novel where apparently Elizabeth of York does nothing but complain and get sick, so I don't know if it was always the case.
There's also the fact that Henry VII didn't have sturdy health, either. In 1487 (so when Henry VII was still relatively young), Giovanni de Giglis, the papal collector in England, wrote to Pope Innocent VIII saying that 'on account of ill health the King requests a dispensation authorizing him to eat meat on fast days. Supposes that the Pope has already granted these demands'. Back in 1486, the pope had already granted an 'indult for [Henry VII and Elizabeth of York] and each of them and six persons, and for Margaret, countess of Richmond, the said king's mother, and other six persons, not to be bound to fast in Lent, and during that season to eat eggs, cheese, butter and other milk-meats, whenever they shall think fit'.
It's hard to decide whether Henry VII really had poor health from the very beginning of his reign or if it was just diplomatic parlance to get a dispensation releasing him (and his wife and mother) from fasting. It does seem like he got a dispensation to eat 'milk-meats' in 1486 and then asked another for 'meat' in general the following year. It might just be a translation inconsistency though, and maybe the two documents allude to the same thing (milk-meats), or it might be that the papal collector wasn't aware that Henry had already gotten a dispensation. It seems odd though, considering Giglis mentioned that he had asked the pope for Henry's dispensation several times.
Considering Elizabeth of York was also included in that dispensation, is it possible Elizabeth had ill health too? I don't know! It does seem like the type of papal privileges royals used to get on the regular (like indulgences for sins etc). All I know is that Elizabeth's health certainly doesn't seem to have been sturdy enough to support calm and healthy pregnancies, or at least it appeared so half the times she was pregnant (4/7).
I hope you have a great day too! 🌹x

hi sorry to place a mild rant here i just cant do journaling to myself. So i got diagnosed with pcos and i just got birth control to take. And i dont know how to feel about it. Im genderqueer but not ready to come out and like E was the only option they gave me and since im a teen i didnt know, still dont know, how, if, when i can tell these people that i dont think this is what i want. Im writing this right before im supposed to take my first pill and im scared. Scared i will hate it and will have to live with that because i just cant come out. But im also scared it will make me feel better. Do as my mom says and make me less tired, less cranky. Im scared that when she says that she is doing this because its the best for my health, that she is scientfically right. And my dr even mentioned how i didnt seem to care about anything they were talkin about (pills-side effects, “benefits”) but like after the fact i realized that i could have said that i didnt care because all that she wasnt going to improve my life in any fucking meaningful way. Like body hair? Love it. Or well i would like to remove some not all of it, and not feel like in removing like stomach hair that i was agreeing that i was a women or that hair is disgusting. Because i would remove hair for myself ya know. Not for the preconcieved idea of who i am and how i should look. And acne? If i cared id actually put my acne cream on. Fertility? Dont want children, and they talked about unwanted random fertility but im ace and sex repulsed. Beyond the first visit they didnt even mention cancer. Ive been telling myself im going to take these pills to prevent cancer in uterine lining. And im scared to look up how true thag is. I mean on how e decreases these helath risks. Im scared theyre right. Im scared their wrong. I will fucking riot if they are lying because that means this is for nothing. Im scared it wont give me gender dysphoria, scared i will have dysphoria because it wull peel layers off the dissasosiation i face. and before all this i was planning on making my mom a presentation about intersex people and gender. Because shes supportive just a littl confused and not radical, im radical because grief has made me angry and i want to let her in on it ig. But i dont think i can do that anymore. Because i would have pointed myself out as intersex. Imply she could be too if she liked the label. But im scared that her being cis, and having struggled with weight and eating when she was a teen (and that pcos effects weight) would mean she would hate the idea. Would call me wrong or cite drs. She told me to shave under my arms once, for the convience when traveling light on vacation so that deodorant worked better?? And hours after she said it i realized if i existed for ease i would crase to exist. But im worried whats a good ease for her would be a killer for me. Idk anymore. i guess any advice? But that will probably be to come out and i dont think i can do that. any research or resources that proves im allowed to be angry? I think im just looking for people to tell me im normal for feeling this way. Having a bad day. Thanks for any.. help? Hope this wasnt triggering or anything, i just saw that you were nonbinary with pcos too- and yea. Okay bye
I really don't know if I'm the right person to answer this. I was already out as non-binary for years before I got my PCOS diagnosis. When they said "take these pills" I asked about the other options and they gave me none so I simply refused to take the pills. But I'm like,,, I don't super care about the negative affects of PCOS. I'm casually suicidal all the time and I'll keep living for my family but if something kills me I'm pretty alright with it. I don't really expect to live much longer than like, a handful of decades and like honestly the world is on fire so it'll probably be shorter. So like, my perspective on this is not necessarily a super healthy one? I'm fairly apathetic about my own existence.
But like, I understand your struggle here with wanting to explain the PCOS=intersex connection to your mom but knowing she'll respond poorly because she also has PCOS.
I really don't have any solid advice here. Just... I guess, consider really carefully how you want to feel in your body. If you've been enjoying the superficial changes the PCOS has done to your body with this weird little second puberty, maybe you should consider advocating for yourself a little more firmly about it. Your future health is important but so is your current comfort in your body.

lmao not people saying the app is crashing strincly bc of gifs, are you serious 💀 the app is crasing because its coding is shit, for me it may crash several times on my ipad while i'm JUST scrolling through my dashboard, it has NOTHING to do with gifs (and gifs are already looking like shite on the app btw) i'm very sorry, but people trying to justify this ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE decision kinda make me laugh honestly. Again, sorry for busting in, all of this is just really frustrating :/
please do not apologise for taking the time to comment!! it really is so frustrating to see people fundamentally fail to understand a) what giffing brings to this site b) how much effort goes into it and c) the other issues that this site has, but especially the mobile app, that have nothing to do with loading gifs. people who have had this change implemented on their dashboards have already complained that the .mp4s won't load which really does suggest maybe this is an app issue and not a gif issue. it feels like people are jumping through hoops to tell gifmakers to shut up without actually thinking through whether this will be the solution they want because they don't actually have to deal with the effort of creating content, they just want to sit and consume

I’ll come back to this but hear me out:
AU where: RADDER were the previous crase cafe sekai users and their goal was to make vivid street more vivid again since all musicians left. They didn’t have an event to pass like VBS has with RAD WEEKEND but just a general “ we want this street to feel alive again “ and instead of having 6 vocaloids to encourage and provide help they have 2 - Sakine and Hajimene ( for those who don’t know Sakine Meiko and Hajimene Kaito are teen versions of Meiko and Kaito but Sakine is the only one I think that’s officially recognized by Sega )
And one day one of VBS ( probably an or Kohane ) discovers a back room with all of the stuff RADDER left behind or forgot like pictures or whatever and they go crazy idk.
RADDER would have gotten to the sekai via Walkman or CD / Cassette player ( im imagining RADDER crase takes place in 1994 and ends in ‘99 or 2000 leaving a lonely 20 years for Meiko and Kaito. Maybe Luka is there I haven’t decided yet.
I’ve been sitting on this for a bit im gonna draw it eventually SBSJDJ

Blog Entry 1: Introduction
I first was introduced to the show Glee in 2009 when it first aired on Fox. I don't quite remember how I started watching the show or what originally drew me to it but it must have been something close to that it was reminiscent of High School Musical which was something I was very into at the time of my childhood. Later I would find out after watching the show it really was nothing like High School Musical, the one common thing were the musical numbers. The show for the most part takes place at William Mckinley High School where a Glee club has begun to be reinvented by the schools spanish teacher William Schuester. From then on we meet the sort of ragtag group of kids who sign up for the club. We meet Rachel Berry who dreams of making it big on Broadway, Mercedes Jones who is sassy and can belt like no other, Kurt Hummel the no so out gay kid who struggles with bullying, Tina Cohen-Chang a girl who struggles with a stutter and sticks out in the group with a goth look and lastly we meet Finn Hudson who is the all star quarter back of the football team. Finn fights between wanting to sing because it is something he likes and staying with football because Glee club is for “losers”. Later on in the series we meet many more characters but those I mentioned above are really what started the show and are lead figures throughout the series run. What kept me interested in the show was really the characters and they are still what draw me to the show now to re-watch it whenever I am in the mood to. The characters were unlike anyone else I had seen on TV and they still are unlike any other characters in 2020. It was the first time I saw an out gay kid in high school on TV, the character may not have been out in the very first episode but we saw the development of him and that was really cool to see. The characters ranged from the mean head cheerleader who had more substance than pop culture would normally put on that archetype, to the musical theater geek who dreams of making it big on Broadway. In this show I feel like everyone had someone they could relate to, fans of the show felt seen and I think that is one of its biggest legacies.
A common debate or argument I sometimes have with friends and family who have watched the show as I have is if the show still holds up today. I think the common answer to this is that a lot of the storylines or jokes that they make in the show would not be suitable for 2020, in a time when everyone is trying to be so self aware which is a good thing but the humor of Glee is definitely aged by how crase and harsh the humor can be at times. The characters make fun of other characters' appearance, the jokes are very in your face and to the wrong audience can come off as bullying. But at the same time most of the show takes place in a high school and as well as know most high schools have bullies, they have cliques and a social hierarchy and that is something that all high schools have. Most of the things said in the show are not so far off from what you would hear in a high school. This is not to say that the show is without controversies which it most certainly is but I think it is important to take into account that the first season aired in 2009 and I think that we have come a long way since then.

My native language is Portuguese, and though it is fairly similar sounding to Spanish, we have some weird ass rules. For example, we have the “crase” that is basically a signal that marks the junction of a preposition with a feminine article. I think it is very neat because it only applies to feminine names and subjectives. Example: Eu entrego o livro à menina (I give the book to the girl). If it were to a boy, you would not have the crase at all!
that's really neat! I cannot stress to y'all how interesting language is to me.. like it's so cool hearing all these little things that are obvious to native speakers but make no sense to people learning it as a second language

I’ve been seeing this funny gifs and photos with Phoebe Waller-Bridge on Tumblr for a couple of months now. Laughed at its reliability, reblogged it on my blog and that was it. It was stuck on my mind so I did some digging and finally found out the name of the show those gifs were from. Fleabag. In one day I finished both seasons of BBC’s show written by and staring already mentioned Phoebe Waller-Bridge. I can safely say Fleabag is the best show I have ever seen.
Let me tell you why.
Phoebe Waller-bridge plays the main role of a woman name Fleabag in Fleabag tv shows. It’s just 6, 20 minutes long episodes per season. The key element of the show is four-wall breaking. Fleabag is constantly talking to us. Her audience. Either she explains the current situation to us, the background of the story or just some witty, sarcastic comments.
She’s blunt and honest. Her thoughts or facial expressions in random life situations is something every woman can relate to but is forbidden to express. The fact that the show about a woman is written by a woman has never been more visible and I’m so grateful for that.
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is incredibly talented and so funny. There is no doubt in that and she’s proving herself in this work of art. I don’t think I ever related to a character as I do with Fleabag.
But it’s not all fun and games. Shit gets real.
The quotes expressed in the show resonates with me on a deeper level and I can’t stop thinking about them. To have someone voice your deepest thoughts is a gift.
Fleabag is always acting. Always performing. Always entertaining the imaginary audience. That’s what it’s like being a woman. You have this tiny voice at the back of your head reminding you to keep it sexy, keep it pretty. What if someone is watching. Even alone in your apartment, what if some guy is watching you through a peephole. Can’t put your walls down.
Can you imagine how freeing it must be not to perform all the time?
Fleabag is performing even at her therapy sessions and she keeps her face up until the very last moment of season one. That’s when we discover the truth about her past and what she did that earned her a life of misery.
We have a feeling we know her. She talks very openly about her sexuality and we think we know her because of her honesty. Truth is she hides her true self behind this honesty. She’s in control of what she shows and how she breaks the 4th wall. Until things get real and she’s developing romantic feelings. She doesn’t need to perform anymore because the one person who matters the most is the only one who can see through her act. The only one who crases the 4th wall with her.
The hot priest.
To be fair, if I got my own tv show where I would play main role, I too would cast Andrew Scott as a hot priest so I could snog him. Most of the people I know had or have a little crush on Andrew. We can all collectively as a group agree that he is a very attractive man and an incredible actor. Here is fleabag he’s playing a priest. Very unconventional, hot priest with vulgar vocabulary that makes his character even more interesting. He’s a dork and fleabag falls for him.
Fleabag has a profound way of fucking everything up.
Her relationships with people in her life are very complicated just like the real-life is. The realness of the character is what brings the audience to her. She’s our messed up friend.
Fleabag is a love story. A true love story where love is not always nice. There is this quote said by the father himself and it goes like this:
The show is full of great writing. Most of the time I was either stuck with the realness of that stuff or laughing out loud for the same reason. Anyway, I was mesmerized by the mare talent to put that amazing script together. I’m gonna show you two quotes I liked the most from 2 of the most intense moments of the show.
#gallery-0-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 50%; } #gallery-0-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */
  Hands down Fleabag is the best show I have ever watched and I’m gonna do it again and again. Love it.
10/10
Fleabag is the best show ever I've been seeing this funny gifs and photos with Phoebe Waller-Bridge on Tumblr for a couple of months now.

Ghosts of the Barossa: The North Kapunda Hotel
The North Kapunda Hotel was built in 1848 by the North Kapunda Mining Company. ‘The Northern Arms Hotel’ as it was then called, was a small single-story hotel situated on Franklin Street Kapunda, the first publican was a man named John Bickford.
Tumblr media
James Crase: 1879 - Photo SLSA: B76601
In the early 1850s the hotel was sold to a local butcher, James Crase. Mr Crase was a wealthy local man with big dreams for the town of Kapunda. He also had big plans for his newly purchased hotel. His first step in changing the hotel was a rebranding from the Northern Arms Hotel to The Garland Ox Hotel. In 1865, Crase invested heavily in his hotel, expanding the basement area, and building the second story of the hotel, which also linked the previously built miners quarters at the rear (now referred to as the “Hallway From Hell”, but once known as the Bachelors Hall).  The new hotel featured the most expensive kitchen in Australia at the time, located in the basement, which now also had living quarters and a rainwater tank. Upstairs now contained a living area for the Crase family, a new meeting room known as The Commercial Room, and hotel and display rooms for travelling salesmen. Crase also built a new two-story building at the rear of the hotel that could house banquet dinners and roller skating, as well as a small bowling alley. Mr Crase sold the hotel in the early 1880s, but not after dealing with much controversy, with members of his staff caught selling alcohol outside of hours, prostitution, and gambling in his establishment. Later owners were also caught doing similar things, and in 1923, under the ownership of Mr Pearce, the hotel lost its liquor licence for a year. To survive, the downstairs and rear accommodation served as a brothel.
Tumblr media
Basement North Kapunda Hotel 2009: Photo by WISPA  Paranormal
The Hotel has seen numerous deaths in its 165 plus years of service, including scissor grinder Martin Jansen who choked to death in the ground floor Parlour. Henry Binney Hawke, a very well respected man in Kapunda, who died in the billiard room of the hotel after suffering a heart attack. Joseph Caddy, a local music teacher and a politician who died of natural causes in an upstairs bedroom. In 1912 Mr Henry Fairclough, publican of the hotel for 14 years became very ill, and by November of that year had been confined to his bed as his condition worsened. On Monday 17 November 1912, Henry Fairclough lost his battle with illness and passed away in the upstairs bedroom he shared with his wife. Dennis Horgan, was publican of the hotel from 1913 until 1919, then again in 1925. Horgan died from a heart attack in the hotel in December 1925 in an upstairs room he shared with his wife. Other deaths reported include that of servants, at least two young prostitutes, a travelling salesman, and at least 3 young children. The North Kapunda Hotel was featured in the 2000 Documentary “Kapunda: Most Haunted Town in the Western World”, in episode 7 of Haunting: Australia, and in 2015 gained international attention when tourism website Travel MSN listed it as the 8th most haunted bar or pub in the world!
The hotel has numerous ghost stories, too many to cover here – so here are a few of my own personal experiences from investigating and visiting the hotel from 2009 until now.
I had many ghostly experiences in the hotel after tours and on private investigations, but the most memorable for me happened one night after a tour. As the last guests were leaving. Karen and I were doing our “after-tour” walkthrough, to lock up the hotel and make sure no-one had been locked inside. As I went to close the tour room door, I turned and saw a young girl, I would estimate around 7 years old, standing in the hallway looking at me. She didn't appear “ghostly”, she looked like a real little girl, except her clothing was very old, much like a pinafore, similar in style to the clothing actress Shirley Temple would've worn near the beginning of her movie career. My first instinct was that someone’s child from downstairs had somehow gotten upstairs. The girl suddenly turned and ran towards room 1, a room we have now dubbed “The Nursery Room”. I quickly followed, knowing she was trapped as I had just locked from the outside the only other exit door to the rooms she was running toward. I made my way down the hallway, into the Nursery Room, the Dressing room and back into the Drawing room, to find no-one in there at all. I checked the windows, locked from the inside, I checked under the bed, nothing.  This ghostly young girl did not glow, she was not misty, nor did she have any of the other attributes we associate with spirits or ghosts. She looked as real as my wife who was waiting for me at the top of the stairs in case the girl came back that way – it was an unusual encounter, but not the last time I would encounter this little girl. The Nursery Room proved to have other spirits. One spirit manifested and was witnessed by a young man, who during the evening, had thought it would be funny to jump out and scare other tour guests, little did he know, the spirits were about to do the same to him. As he came into the Nursery Room the back way through the Drawing Room, he stepped through the threshold of the Nursery Room door and witnessed a partially manifested spirit of a woman standing behind the door. This young man had been sceptical all night, but this incident changed his whole perspective. It was also in this room a man was groped by a ghost on the backside, which also happened to another gentleman in the Hallway to Hell, one of the flirtatious prostitute spirits perhaps?
The Commercial Room on the first floor also proved to have several spirits, although these ones are passive, and at least one seems to be a residual haunting and not an intelligent haunting. It was in this room the tours originally started, and on one tour, a guest pulled me aside to let me know a man had been standing next to me the whole time I had been speaking. She described him as wearing a suit, about the same height as me, very thin, and amused and puzzled as to why I was standing in the hotel talking about ghosts. It was in this same room on another night, a young woman witnessed the spirit of a man, standing in the far corner facing the wall, looking rather morose and staring at an old tapestry that has hung on the wall for over a century. Another spirit was that of a man who has been witnessed standing in front of a window looking out into the Main Street below, transfixed by what he was looking at. In his right hand, he was continuously opening and closing a pocket watch chained to his inner pocket. On a tour, a young lady who went into the Commercial Room and witnessed this apparition, but it wasn’t until she entered the front bar and saw the mural of Sir Sidney Kidman it dawned on her who she had just seen!
During the filming of Haunting: Australia, paranormal guru Gaurav Tiwari and I set up several ghost hunting devices given to us by Jason Dickson of Apparition Technologies. We placed REM Pods (a device that emits an electromagnetic field from an aerial, that if a spirit comes close to, will set off a warning alarm and coloured lights) as well as voice recorders, EM Pumps (a device that emits a very strong electromagnetic field thought to attract spirits) and Vibration Detectors in the downstairs hallway basement, a large side room that was once bedrooms, originally for the cooks, but eventually used by prostitutes. Whilst standing in the basement, a room once used to store dead bodies, kegs of rum and kegs of beer, we began to ask if there was anyone present who wished to communicate with us. It didn’t take long to get an answer. I was standing where I could see into the downstairs hallway to watch if the lights on any of the devices were turning on, all of the sudden, I saw a young girl, no more than 7 years old, walk into the dimly lit hallway, and into the doorway of the room Gaurav and I were standing in!
 Without hesitating (or thinking) I chased after her to find out who she was. She ran into the hallway and turned left into the arched hallway that led to the former basement bedrooms, an old decrepit room with damaged floors and no ventilation. Gaurav was following quickly behind. There was nowhere for the girl to escape too, but she was not to be found in the room. Whilst standing in the room, we noticed a small window that looks into a smaller room, which in turn has a doorway back into the hallway. Gaurav noticed some movement, so we ventured back into the hallway. At this point, the cameraman’s batteries failed so he radioed back to central control to get a go-fer to bring down a fresh battery for him. As he did this, Gaurav who had turned to look back into the bedrooms noticed a large shadow jump across a doorway, which startled him enough to drop a few swear words! We re-entered the room, whilst Mick, our cameraman waited in the hallway, just as we entered the bedroom, Mick heard our REM pods going off and thinking it was the runner with the battery turned to say thanks, only to notice no-one there! In the next few minutes, things really picked up. Gaurav and I raced into the hallway to see all our REM Pods and Vibration meters lit to full, every light in the basement, including our torches and camera lights suddenly drained completely and we were left in the total pitch black. At the same time, Mick got a call over his headset to get the hell upstairs as the producers thought Ray may have had a heart attack in the Hallway to Hell. The three of us, in pitch black, found our way out of the basement hallway, and onto the stairs that lead back up to the ground floor hallway, only to find the metal bar doors locked. Just as we got to the top we saw Field Producer Lucy Connors and a camera crew walking backwards. Ian and Rayleen passed us supporting Ray and were heading into the beer garden. I tried the metal-bar door again, and suddenly it unblocked, and we were free of the basement! We followed them outside not knowing exactly what had happened. Ray was very pale and did not look good, he was crying and slouched over. Ian performed an exorcism on him. Ray was vomiting and pale and looked very unwell, but not long after Ian started his exorcism, Ray suddenly looked a lot better, got up, and left the beer garden to go back into the break area and away from the hotel. As Ray left, Rayleen was very suddenly and very vocally saying the Lord’s Prayer at break need speed, as she was overcome with whatever had just left Ray. Gaurav performed a cleansing ritual on her, and soon she too left to go into the break room and recover, with Ian following closely behind to make sure they were both OK. This left Gaurav, Robb and me standing in the beer garden wondering what had just happened. Without hesitation, Robb told Gaurav and me to go upstairs and find out what was going on. Considering neither of us are psychics, it probably wasn’t the smartest move, but we're paranormal investigators, right? Fearless to the end and go where Angels fear to tread. To lighten the very heavy feeling the hotel now had upstairs, Gaurav and I began to crack jokes about just how tough and manly we are. We then entered The Hallway to Hell, which felt very different from how it did earlier in the night, much more foreboding, but much more “alive”. It took only a few seconds for things to start to happen, within minutes of being in the hallway I witnessed a full-bodied apparition of a woman dressed in a period dress that I could only describe as from the “Victorian” era. The Dress was black and lacy, the woman was very white in the face, red full lips, but had a very sad look to her demeanour. She walked backwards into room 11, and I released a number of swear words in disbelief of what I was seeing with my own eyes!! (the edit on television was a few seconds, in reality, my swearing probably went for a few minutes).In the next half-an-hour, Gaurav and I experienced 3 gunshot sounds, they were clear and very, very loud. The first, in room 11, was right after seeing the mysterious woman disappear into the room, it came from the air in the centre of the room and echoed throughout the room. I suggested later during our reveal filming at the Old Kapunda Courthouse, that the noise may not have been a gunshot at all but could have been the sound of what psychics and mediums call a “portal” snapping closed as the spirit returned to her own realm. We heard the next shot only a few minutes later in room 12, which is the room in which Ray was partially possessed and fell to the floor. At the time we didn’t realise his voice recorder was still in the room recording. Later we would find out Ray had captured an EVP of someone saying, “hates blue eyes”, it also contained the gunshot sound we heard in the room. As we re-entered the hallway, I heard footsteps, so we turned to look in the direction they came from, as we did so, a stone was thrown at us. Next, we entered room 13, where we thought the footsteps had gone, only to hear another, and the loudest of the gunshot noises for the evening. This is also around the time Gaurav took a photo that he claimed later, looked like a shadow person standing on the stairs leading out of the hallway. In the reveal, I declare that I cannot see what he was talking about, and I honestly could not at the time see anything resembling a person in his photo, but a few months later, after filming, I would see for myself a shadow person in the Hallway to Hell right where Gaurav had claimed to capture his photo. As a side note, the Haunting Australia episode featuring The North Kapunda Hotel rated first place on Foxtel as the most viewed show the night it was broadcast, beating “The Walking Dead” and other popular shows – so on behalf of all of the cast – thank you to each and every person who watched the episode and supported the show. Another very important thing that happened whilst filming Haunting: Australia which was never aired, occurred to my wife Karen and to “psychic bad-boy” Ian Lawman. Ian was in the basement under the front bar when psychically he picked up on a poker game being played.  He described the gentleman running the game and even got his name and a few attributes associated with him. My wife worked in the hotel in 2009, and knew the name of the person as a former publican, but didn’t know anything about him. So, Karen made a phone call to her former boss who ran the hotel in 2009 and asked her if she knew anything about this man, who was named “Charlie”. As it happened, she did know him, and confirmed everything Ian said, even down to his description, his dog and the poker games! 
Karen was subsequently interviewed as a witness for the show, in a portion that would have confirmed Ian's psychic abilities, that was for reasons unknown to the cast, entirely cut from the episode, which was a great loss for the viewers as it would have proved that Ian does actually have psychic ability (even if he is a scaredy cat and runs from some of the ghosts!) I may at some point reveal more about ghostly goings on in the North Kapunda Hotel, perhaps in a book.

MASTERLIST
"Your project for this term is Precious. You will need to draw and paint something precious to you, focusing solely on the item. I want to see how you highlight this precious item of yours, how you are going to make it stand out from an unique background," The art professor explain as she hands out their project brief. Jungkook read the paper given and huffed, his mind spinning trying to find the perfect inspiration on what to do.
The project boggled his mind for the whole day, even as he slumped down on the couch next to his roomate, the one and only Kim Taehyung who is watching a movie while stuffing his face with popcorn.
"What's with you?" He eyed Jungkook. "I swear Kook, you are the most stressed out art student I have ever met,"
"We have a new project,"
"And?"
"I cant seem to think of anything. Nothing. Not even one inspiration comes to mind. It counts for almost 50 percent of my grade this semester. I'm screwed if I dont ace it," he whined. Taehyung turned his body to face him.
"Okay, tell me what its about. I'm sure me and my absolutely great mind will be able to help you," he grins. Despite not believing that Taehyung could ever help him, Jungkook still explain the project brief to his hyung. Taehyung nodded and his brows crased as he thought hard.
"I dont know Tae. Everybody is doing the same thing. Placing their precious item on a blank wall, a green grass, a wooden plank... its all so typical. I need something else to make my work popped up from the rest," Taehyung look at the disgruntled maknae and finally an idea spark his mind.
"I have an idea, but I dont think either you or Y/N would like it," he smirked.
"Y/N? What does my girlfriend has to do with this?" Jungkook raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, your girlfriend has everything to do with it," Taehyung wiggled his eyebrows. Taehyung is always mischievious, his idea always makes one of them end up in a very very bad situation. What is his hyung up to now? "Do you want to hear it or not?" Taehyung rolled his eyes at the reluctant younger male.
"Fine. Just tell me. What is it?" Jungkook huffed. He got nothing to lose if he listen to Taehyung's crazy ideas anyway, so he might as well jist hear it. Maybe it could spark some inspiration for him.
Taehyung grinned, his smile widen as his eyes twinkled. Jungkook already had a bad feeling about this, and what comes out from Taehyung's mouth next proves that he is right. "Do you still remember what you learned last semester?"
/////
Jungkook ran his hand all over his face for the millionth time, thinking about how he is supposed to even ask you for this favor. Even just the simple thought of you is already enough to make him restless all night, how is he going to proceed with Taehyung's idea?
You and him has been dating for more than six months now. Your relationship is great. You two are in love, and Jungkook is an amazing boyfriend, but the two of you havent done anything more other than some intense makeout session and some slight groping here and there whenever you two spend the night with each other. You had wanted more since the first moment you saw him, but just your luck, your boyfriend is a total gentleman who believes in romantic gestures and waiting for the right time. His intention is sweet but really, you are so in love with him you are willing to give him everything if he just asks of you.
"Hey baby," he leaned in to kiss you as you plopped down on his bed, putting your bag and books on his table, kissing him back. God, you just cant get enough of him.
"Hi Kookie. So what's up?" You smiled at him. He had invited you to his room, saying he has a favor to ask you. Something to do with his art class. Jungkook is an art major, and he has an incrdible talent in drawing and painting too. But like every other great artists out there, sometimes he rans out of inspiration and calls you up to help him. The two of you would go out and talk about everything, just so he can find something that might spark his interest again. You look at your boyfriend who is nervously fiddling with his hands. Weird, he was never this nervous when talking about art.
"I... I need you to help me model for my art class," he stuttered, but you still find him absolutely adorable.
"I know Kookie. You told me that," you giggled. Why is he so nervous? This is not the first time you have model for him for his classes. "So... what can I help you with? What's the theme?"
"Precious. We are supposed to draw something that is precious to us, but with a unique background. The professor wants to see how we can turn the focus of drawing on the item instead of the background," he explained, voice still has a hint of nervousness.
"Oh, interesting," you smile. "I'm sure you have some interesting ideas Kookie. So what's your item?" Jungkook went over his table and took out an expensive jewellery box, making you even more curious.
"This belongs to my late mother. And I have always keeps it with me," He took out a huge necklace with a blue sapphire diamond heart in the middle of it. Your eyes widen, its the most beautiful thing you have ever seen.
"So you want me to wear this and pose for you?" You held the beautiful necklace between your fingers, examining how it shines between your skin.
"Ye...yes," he fumbled looking at you. You looked back at him, confused to as why he is nervous. Wearing a necklace and pose, nothing big right?
"Okay. Seems easy enough," you smile. "I can easily do that,"
"But... I dont only want you to wear the necklace," Jungkook gulp, hands fiddling with the necklace, as if trying to find some courage, before continuing. You raised an eyebrow questioningly at him. What does he means? "I want you to wear only the necklace..."
Your head immediately snapped around to look at him. Did you heard him correctly? Did he meant what you think he meant?
"Wh...what?"
"I want to draw you while you are wearing this. Only wearing this," he held up the necklace, voice more confident now as he stares into your eyes. You were silenced for a minute as you heard his request loud and clear. You can already feel something stirring at the lower part of your body as you imagined posing nude for him.
Posing nude for Jeon Jungkook.
"O..okay," you breathed out your agreement after pondering for a moment.
Jungkook's eyes widen at your answer. He thought you would slap him silly and never want to ever talk to him again, but instead, here you are, nervous and surprised, of course, but still, agreed.
"Okay?" He reconfirms, still not believing it.
"Yes Jungkook. Okay," you smile.
Jungkook felt his heart starts to beat faster and his palms turns sweaty  Drawing and painting a nude model during his last semester is already a huge problem for Jungkook. He was a nervous wreck the first time the life model took off her robe and stood in front of his class last semester. Sure, he is no innocent. He has been with his fair share of girls before,
But you?
Drawing a naked you?
How the hell is he supposed to survive that?
He is not sure how he is able to control himself when you are strip bare in front of him. He is not sure he can control anything with you standing in front of him.
He has the biggest crush on you for years before he found the courage and managed to finally call you as his own. And he had to calm himself down multiple times, sometimes even a long toilet break is needed whenever you spend the night with him, cuddling or after a long makeout session. Can he get out of this assignment alive? Should he just scrap the idea? He knew it, listening to Taehyung never did him any good.
You giggle when you noticed Jungkook's shocked expression and he dazed out. He immediately cleared his throat at the sound of your laugh and went to sit behind his easel.
"So... are we doing this now?" You asks, making Jungkook's face turned red like a tomato.
"Urm... yes. If you are up to it. Whenever you are ready," he tried to stay calm.
"Okay. Lets do it today then," you smile as he nodded.
You stood up slowly from his bed and start to slid the straps of your dress down your shoulders, slowly, almost teasingly. Jungkook's eyes never left you and you saw him take big gulps or air as he seems to have trouble breathing. You let your dress drop to the floor, revealing your almost bare body, only clad in your innocent white undergarments before you take the necklace and wear it, the diamond felt cold as it lay flat between the valley of your breasts, all the while eyes never leaving his. Jungkook's eyes roam down your body and you can see how hard he is gripping his pencil for some self restrain. You patted the necklace once you were done, your hands went behind your back and starts to undo you bra claspes, slowly sliding the straps of your shoulder, finally revealing you bare chest to Jungkook's prying eyes. You feel your heart beat increased under Jungkook's blazing stare, and you start to rub your thighs together, feeling yourself getting wetter and wetter.
Jungkook cant control his breathing any longer as he stares at your very naked chest. He feels like he is about to faint. He had spend many nights imagining how you would look like,  a gazzilion times maybe, but this... ypu standing bare in front of him, smiling at him with blushing cheeks... you are more beautiful than anything he could have ever imagined. If he feel like fainting the moment before, he is sure he is dying the moment you slid down you panties past your smooth long legs and slowly step out of it, leaving yourself fully bare to him. Jungkook's breath starts to staggered and he almost broke the pencil that he is holding too tightly when you purposely ran your hands down your body agonizingly slow and soft over your core, which is glistening with how wet you were, teasing him, eyes boring deep intp his dark ones. You finaly decide to stop teasing him and sat down on the bed, laying down across the mattress, spreading yourself a little, purposely letting him see all of you.
"How do you want me?" You asks, as if its the most normal question in the world and you are just posing for another one of his usual projects. Jungkook gulp, his mouth is dry, unable to answer. I want you under me. Is the only answer Jungkook can think about. You adjusted yourself on the bed when you received no response from your boyfriend who just continued staring at you, trying out different position and settled on one that you think is suitable. "Is this position okay?" You asks innocently, cocking your head to the side. Jungkook can see the wetness in your core as you spread for him even more, making him lick his bottom lip unconciously, which makes you let out a little giggle. You know exactly what you are doing to him and you like it. You just hope you will get what you want at the end of the day.
He avoided your gaze and try to calm himself down. This is an assigment Jungkook. An assignment. But when he tried to settle his eyes on you, you were already looking at him, eyes wide and biting your lower lip. You look so innocent but sinful at the same time, Jungkook feel like he is just about to burst. He can feel himself start to grow harder snd harder and he cursed himself for wearing such a thin sweatpants. You are surely going to notice his hardening erection at this rate.
And he is right. You did.
He adjusted himself on his stool and try focus on his drawing instead. Its an assignment Jungkook. An assignment!
"I'm going to start now," he announced, clearing his throat. You nodded silently as you lick you dry lower lip nervously, an action that didnt go unnoticed by Jungkook, making him groaned internally. Why is he putting himself through this torture?
Jungkook starts off from the top of your head and slowly move on to your face. He lightly sketches your face, capturing every crease, crook, contour and line of your features, silently praising how beautiful you are and how proud he is that you are his. His hands starts to shake as he move on to your neck, hands gracefully sketching the necklace, the supposed main focus of the painting, and your chest area. He nervousky gazed his eyes to the rest of you, which is in a laying down form, your eyes staring back at him when he flicked his eyes to your face, before continuing down your body.
Your chest.
Your naked chest.
His grip on his pencil tighten as he noticed how your nipples are getting harder, turning into hard nubs under the cold air and his intense gaze. It took everything in him to not just walked over to you capture one of the harden nubs into his mouth. He shakes his head, clearing the image out of his mind and continue sketching and drawing, trying his best to concerntrate when you suddenly let out an accidental moan when your leg hit the bed frame when you tried to readjust your position. At the sound of your moaning Jungkook lost all of his self restrain, the pencil in his grip broken from how hard he is holding it. He stood up suddenly, causinfmg the wooden stool he was sitting on fall down and marched towards you, eyes dark and blown.
"Jung... Jungkook? Are.. are you okay?"
"Dont act so innocent Y/N. You know exactly what you are doing to me. You know I am definitely not okay," he hissed before crashing his lips against yours, his body pining your naked one on the bed. Taken by surprised, your eyes widen as he kiss you before you realized the situation and start to kiss him back, suddenly very aware of how naked you are and how fully clothed Jungkook is when you feel his hands roaming all over your body. Every inch that his fingers grazed felt like it was on fire and you want nothing more than to feel his bare skin on yours.
"Can you feel this? This is what you do to me," He grind his clothed erection which is extremely hard by now, on your wet core, making you moan even louder. "Louder baby. Let me hear you," he coaxed, his hands quickly taking off his own suffocating clothing, presenting you with taut abs and muscle thighs that left you gapping as he leaned in to kiss along your neck and jawline, his fingers fiddling with the necklace while the other went down your body, stopping and touching where you wanted him the most, inserting a finger in.
"Look at you. So wet. You are supposed to help me with my assignment baby, not teasing me," he growled as his hands never stop touching and thrusting into you. You lost all your ability to spit out coherent words as his fingers continue their ministration, but struggle to say something to him as you realized he is waiting for an answer from you.
"I.. I am he... helping you," you answered back between pants and moans, the pleasure Jungkook's giving you starts to increased as he moved faster.
"Oh really? You are helping me? I should properly thank you then," he whispered as he bite an earlobe, he fingers that has been thrusting into you leaving your core, making you feel empty, but that only lasted for a second before he slid himself in you in one swift motion, without warning.
"Ahh, Jungkook..."
The two of you rolled off each other, sweaty and still panting from the extreme pleasure you just felt. Jungkook gave you a quick kiss on the lips and smile at you. "I love you Y/N. You know that right?"
You nodded shyly. "I love you too Jeon Jungkook,"
He pulled you closer to his sweaty chest and hug you tight, his fingers playing with the necklace. "This really suits you. You should wear it more often," he said making you smile. "But only this," he winked.
You blushed and buried your face in his chest. He tucked your head under his chin and kiss your hair as you hear him mumble.
"But I dont think my item will stand out more than the background though," he said while he loosen his hold and eyed your body up and down, making you blush even harder. You hide your face in the crook of his neck as he laugh at your adorable shyness.
"But still, for the first time in my life, I am so glad I listen to Tae-hyung's idea,"
