if i may be embarrassing for a minute here (beware: gushing about things and people that make me happy in my miserable life ahead)
the last 4 or so years of my life have been hell. and especially the last 1.5-2 years have been awful and i’ve never been in such a dark mental space. lots of sudden physical health problems (many of which are just sorta like “shrug idk just wait it out”) and a continuous downward spiral of my mental health (bc of the physical health stuff but also long-lasting financial issues, gender dysphoria, being stuck living with family which makes me wanna kms, etc.), all of which also makes it difficult or impossible to perform my regular hobbies (writing, drawing, video games, all of them are physically painful due to tendinitis) so my free time is always either unfulfilling or literally hurts me to do
and i’ve had lots of friends over the years who’ve made me laugh and smile, and I’m forever grateful to them and love them all dearly (to those of you who will see this bc you follow me here, hi, ily. to those who won’t see it bc they don’t follow me here, I’ll have to drop into those group chats and say a quick ily too)
but i’ve also begun interacting with a lot of new people in the last few months and I’m very grateful for y’all too. most of you are on here. probably all of you are on here. if you’re reading this, hi. what’s up. anyway
it just made me glad that i can still meet new people and get along well enough with them, even meet people i solidly call friends bc we started talking semi-regularly (hi sam!!! i hope you’re not drowning in your busy life lol). like, i have trouble making and hanging onto friends bc it’s just not my strong suit, and i like being by myself, but i do crave community just like any other human. and i haven’t had a community as active as this one ("this one" being my current corner of the st fandom) on this website in a while
i had to leave one community last year bc of one of my health issues that made it so i couldn’t interact with them very much, and just sitting there silently for months was too stressful for me, so when that went quiet i sort of… didn’t have a super active corner i was in, and it kind of made me super miserable
so i’m just glad I found this spot. a new spot for me to shimmy into on this website, where i’ve been jumping from community to community for the last decade. i feel like i haven’t been this into something and this into a community in a long time. and it feels good. really good
like even if there’s a lot about my life right now that i absolutely hate, there’s still a lot of things that i can be happy about. and a lot of love to find and share. so i may as well focus on that despite everything else. and i know this all sounds silly and embarrassing but i just have to remind myself that there are good things for me to look forward to, and good people to surround myself with, and i may as well put that thought out there on the off chance that someone who has made me smile recently might see it and know i appreciate them immensely. i can look forward to the future as much as i want, but at least i have folks right now who bring me joy, even if it’s small or sounds silly to say
so thank you to everyone who’s made me feel welcome. who’s given me presences to enjoy and people to admire. who’s been kind enough to interact with me and say nice things about the stuff I create. and really just to allow me to participate in a wacky fun corner that brings at least one smile to my face every day, but realistically, it's more than that
thanks :3

Eclipse
Tumblr media
Pairing— Day Fairy!Hoseok x Night fairy!reader    
Genre— SMUT, fae au, angst, idiots to lovers
Warnings— Oral (F receiving), nipple play, explicit unprotected sex, hair pulling, both praise and slight derogatory dirty talk bc I can’t make up my mind, slight swearing
Word Count— 3.3k  
Summary— The summer solstice is here and it’s time to celebrate. Your favorite part of the solstice is that you get to see Hoseok, or rather, the love of your life. It’s too bad you haven’t told him how you really felt, even though it has been centuries. Maybe this year will be different. 
A/N— This fic is part of The Fabled Collab hosted by @joontopia, @kimtaehyunq, and @whipped-for-kpop-fics. Hoseok is my sunshine, so I just had to write about him! Thank you to @s0seo and @taegularities for giving me motivation to write. Lastly, huge shoutout to Eden from @thebiasrekkers​ for making this awesome banner for me! As always, let me know how you guys like the fic! My askbox is always open <3
Tumblr media
Fae clans have many holidays and rituals, but solstices are by far the most celebrated. Solstices mark the pivotal event that shifts the seasonal responsibilities between the sun and moon clans. The summer and winter solstice are always the biggest events of the year, with about a week of festivities leading up to the final event. 
Sweat ran down your spine as the sun beat down on you. You’ve been holding up a stupid banner for what felt like an eternity.
“Okay wait, you’re gonna hate me but I think we should put it back to where we originally had it,” Sunghoon said with furrowed brows.
“That’s it. We’ve been doing this all morning. Figure this out yourself,” you angrily threw down the banner and stormed off before Sunghoon had the chance to yell at you.
You ignored the friendly calls from other fae that were setting up decor nearby. It was way past your bedtime. Cranky and drenched in sweat, you were definitely not a happy night fairy. Heading straight to the pond, you derobed and found comfort in the cool waters that  washed away your stress instantly. You gazed up at the blue sky while floating on your back. The day truly was beautiful, you couldn’t deny that. However, nighttime was better in your very much biased opinion. The dark sky littered with countless stars that glittered like diamonds was an unbeatable sight. 
“Hey there sunshine!” a familiar voice interrupted your thoughts. You dipped back into the water and turned to the source of the sound.
“Hey there, perv. Care to join me?” you beckoned.
“I wish I could, but I need to go finalize some plans for the handoff ceremony--”
“It’s the same EVERY year. C’mon Hobi, you don’t need to go,” you whined.
“I’ll meet you back here at sunset, how does that sound?” he tried to appease you.
“Midnight. I’m already exhausted, I don’t wanna wake up early,” you blew raspberries into the pond.
“That’s fair. I’ll see you then okay?” Hoseok waved before flying off.
Tumblr media
On top of parties filled with indulgences that would blow the mind of any feeble human, Hoseok was the added bonus that made you eager for each solstice. Admittedly, you two have had some sort of flirtationship going on for the past few centuries. Your friends always teased you about how madly head over heels you were for him. As much as you wanted to believe that he loved you in the same way, something always felt off.  
Hoseok always reciprocated your flirtatious advances, but it felt more like a game between friends rather than something substantial. You’ve even observed his interactions with other fairies, and it didn’t seem like he gave you any special treatment. He was simply a good friendly guy that everyone loved, but not the way that you loved him. 
You were dying to know how he truly felt about you. All these years of playful banter had been fun, but they had also been simultaneously eating away at you. There’s no way he doesn’t know that you love him. At the same time, what if he thinks you’re just a good friend? You needed to know for sure, and you intended to confront him about it at midnight.
Tumblr media
“Good evening,” you greeted Hoseok shyly as you approached the pond’s bank. 
“Good day to you sunshine,” Hoseok called back as he kicked at the water.
“How’d the meeting go?” you asked.
“Boring as always. You’re right, it’s the same every year. But the elders still want to go over everything again to ensure that the ceremony is perfect,” Hoseok sighed.
“Thanks for coming to hangout with me even though you’re so busy,” you said, suddenly feeling guilty.
“Are you kidding? I’ve been looking forward to this all day! You’re the perfect person to unwind with after a long day,” Hoseok smiled. There it was. The radiant smile you fell for the first time you ever met him. 
“You sure I’m the perfect person for that? What do you do when you’re back in your own land surrounded by other day fae?” you prodded, hoping to steer the conversation onto the ‘what are we’ topic. 
“I have my friends there for sure, and I appreciate them too. But it’s different with you. Maybe because I can only hangout with you twice a year. You’re like my super special friend, yaknow?” Hoseok tried to explain. 
“Uh yeah, for sure. Like a special playdate kind of thing huh?” you tried to hide your hurt feelings.
“Exactly! You get it. It’s like you’re my favorite dessert that I can only have twice a year,” Hoseok nodded.
“Right…” you whispered softly to yourself. You spent the rest of the night listening to the unfruitful discussions Hoseok had during his meetings. All the excitement over the festival had drained from you. Now, you just wanted it to be over so you can go sulk in peace. 
“You’re awfully quiet,” Hoseok observed, “You haven’t interjected once about how stupid our traditions are or how you’re looking forward to having long nights again.”
“Hm? Oh yeah, I’m just tired. Sunghoon really worked me to the bone yesterday, that damn day fairy,” you faked a yawn.
“Hey, be nice! Wasn’t it you who volunteered to help us anyway?” Hoseok shook his head.
‘Yeah, because I thought I’d be able to work with you,’ you thought.
“It was a bizarre streak of altruism, that’s all,” you shrugged. 
“Nah, I know you’re a kind fairy deep down!” Hoseok playfully nudged your shoulder. Normally you would welcome this type of physical affection, but for right now it served as a painful reminder that you were merely seen as a buddy. 
Tumblr media
You actively avoided Hoseok for the remainder of the week, counting down the hours to when it would finally all be over. You made up some lame excuse to not hangout with Hoseok every time he approached you. He must have caught on by the final day, either that or he was extremely busy. Afterall, he was the MC for the entire ordeal. 
Apparently, your abrasive reputation preceded you because no one wanted your help with anything. As soon as they saw you coming, they would randomly find themselves very preoccupied with something that made them too busy to talk to you. The only person who would put you to work was Sunghoon, who was one of Hoseok’s best friends. You wondered why he was always so nice to you even when you complained the entire time you helped him.
“That’s the last table! They all look great, thanks for helping with the set up,” Sunghoon gave you a thumbs up.
“You know it’s pointless setting up all these tables. Most of the fairies are just gonna be dancing or fucking all night long, no one is gonna be sitting down,” you said.
“Are you gonna be one of the fairies partying?” Sunghoon inquired.
“Definitely not,” you answered curtly.
“Then I’m happy at least one of these tables will be utilized,” Sunghoon nodded, “Try to enjoy yourself tonight okay?”
“Whatever,” you rolled your eyes.
The entire forest seemed to come alive that night. The trees swayed with the enchanting music while cheers of merriment erupted around the party scene. You sat alone at a mushroom table with your third (or was it fourth?) cup of berry wine. You glared at the fairies who had lost themselves to their pleasures, whether it be the wine or the toadstools, or perhaps even both. Fairies who had given into their more lustful urges could be seen on the outskirts of the dance floor, some in the innocent stages of kissing and others entangled full fledged fornication. Scoffing at the obscene orgy, you stumbled off to get another cup of wine. Even though you weren’t really participating, you had to admit that fairies knew how to throw a party. 
“Hey ___, I noticed you’ve been by yourself the whole evening. Want some company?” someone asked behind you as you filled up your mug to the brim. You turned to see two Sunghoons merge to become one hazy Sunghoon in the blink of an eye. 
“F-ffuck off Sunghoon,” you slurred.
“I wanted to thank you for all the hard work you did for this year’s summer solstice,” Sunghoon continued, unfazed by your harshness, “Wanna dance to celebrate?”
“Nope,” you answered as you pushed him aside.
Tumblr media
“Yeah she seemed pretty pissed dude,” Sunghoon said while taking a large swig.
“At you or in general?” Hoseok inquired.
“Dunno man, she’s always been like that. However, she seemed more aggravated than usual, which is hard to imagine,” Sunghoon chuckled, “Did you do something to her?”
“No! I’ve been replaying everything we talked about at the pond but everything seemed fine! I even told her that she was my super special friend and---oh shit,” Hoseok’s face fell.
“Idiot,” Sunghoon tsked. 
Tumblr media
Both fae clans had gathered by the main stage, intently listening to the same speeches that the clan leaders have spoken for centuries. You watched apathetically as the everlasting flame was being formally handed over. The crowd roared as the flame changed from a deep crimson red to an icy silver color with a blue hue, signifying that the solstice had come to pass. 
If the festival wasn’t wild before, it had only gotten more out of hand after the official ceremony. Seeing the other fairies go wild in every sense of the word made you nauseous. The noise level intensified as you watched your fairy brethren engage in rather promiscuous activities. Someone even beckoned for you to join in the fun, but you just walked away. The only person you wanted to have that kind of fun with was Hoseok. It infuriated you that your thoughts always drifted to him. You filled up your cup one last time and walked away from the ruckus, towards an empty grove. Hopefully you would be able to wallow in self pity in peace there. 
The stars twinkled above you, and dim moonlight speckled the ground around you as it shone through the trees. You could still hear the party, but it was much fainter now and served as nice background noise to keep you from drowning in your thoughts. With a deep exhale, you fought to hold back tears. You felt so foolish. Too many years have been wasted in vain for an unrequited love that you should have seen coming. It was so stupid of you to hold onto a sliver of hope that Hoseok would like you back. 
“The party is that way,” a familiar voice called out to you.
“Then why aren’t you there?” you didn’t try to mask the annoyance in your voice.
“I saw you walk away, I wanted to check up on you.”
“Why the fuck would you even care?” you sat up and hissed.
“Why are you being so hostile? You’re the one who has been avoiding me all week!” Hoseok raised his voice.
“I’m sure you didn’t have much time to spend with me anyway,” you huffed.
“That’s not true. I spent every moment of my free time looking for you, only for you to turn me away. Can you tell me what’s wrong?” Hoseok calmed down.
“Fine. I’m in love with you, okay? How fucking embarrassing. It hurt when you said that I was your super best friend or whatever. Seeing you afterward just reminded me of how dumb I am,” you couldn’t make eye contact with him.
“Oh sunshine, I’m the idiot. I shouldn’t have said that. You’re my special friend because I like you too. I wanted to spend every second with you this week. I didn’t mean to hurt you like that, I’m so sorry ____,” Hoseok got down on his knees and pulled you in for a hug. You were stunned.
“Why didn’t you say anything sooner then!” you pushed him off.
“I thought it was obvious from the way we flirted!” he argued. 
“You’re nice to everyone, it was hard for me to tell,” you pouted.
“My apologies for not being a sourpuss like you,” Hoseok laughed.
“So...what now? It wasn’t really a romantic confession but I guess our feelings are out in the open now,” you whispered as you leaned against him.
Suddenly, Hoseok pushed you back to the ground, straddling your hips. His dark hair nearly covered his eyes as he looked down at you. He was beyond beautiful, his white iridescent wings glittered ethereally in the moonlight. 
“Remember when I said you’re like a dessert I can only have twice a year? I’d like to make that a reality,” Hobi smirked. He bent over to kiss you. It was soft at first, his plush lips pressing up against yours. He gently cupped your face with one hand while the other wandered to your chest, undoing your blouse. Lust overtook the both of you as the kiss deepened and Hoseok fondled your breasts. You let out a small gasp as he played with your nipples, rolling them between his fingers.  
“Spread those legs for me, sunshine,” he demanded.
You complied, slowly exposing yourself to him. You couldn’t bring yourself to look at him while in such a compromising position. Hoseok gingerly kissed a trail along your inner thighs towards your core. His hot breath against your pussy made you squirm under him in anticipation.
“So impatient,” he chuckled, “Let’s play a game. You have to make eye contact with me while I eat you out. Every time you look away, I stop.”
“You’re evil,” you huffed before reluctantly looking at the beautiful being perched between your legs. 
“That’s my girl,” he purred approvingly before spreading your folds with his fingers. His eyes darkened with lust as you watched him lick tantalizingly slow stripes. He could feel your need for more, so he moved up to focus on your clit, giving it special attention as his tongue swirled around it. 
You tangled your fingers into his hair, gripping him tighter as he licked your clit faster. All your composure was lost as you looked down at him with pleading eyes.
“What is it? Need more?” Hoseok teased as his fingers traced your entrance.
“Please,” you whimpered.
“Please what?” Hoseok feigned ignorance
“Please touch me,” you said softly.
“We need to work on your begging, but you’re so adorable I can’t say no,” Hobi dove back into stimulating your clit as he slipped a finger inside of you. He smirked at how easily he went in, and immediately added a second finger. The new feeling had you throwing your head back as he grazed your g-spot. Right as things began to feel good, he retracted everything.
“Hobi!” you cried out in frustration.
“You looked away. Remember the rules to our little game?” Hoseok chided. You glared down at him as he immediately picked up where he left off, not giving you time to readjust. Fighting back the urge to close your eyes, soft moans escaped from your lips.
“Ready to cum, my dear ___?” he asked sweetly as his fingers dipped to directly attack your g-spot.
There was no time to give a proper response. Your back arched and your toes curled up as your orgasm overwhelmed you. Drenched in your juices, Hoseok glistened under the moonlight.
“Absolutely gorgeous,” Hoseok praised, “But I’m not finished with you yet,” he leaned in to whisper in your ear.
He unbuckled his trousers, releasing the monster that dangled between his legs. You willingly spread your legs for him, eager for more.
“So needy, you haven’t had enough yet?” Hoseok tsked as he rubbed the tip of his cock along your folds.
Finally, Hoseok began to bury himself into you. He took his time, relishing how your warm walls squeezed him. You closed your eyes in ecstasy, focusing on feeling every inch of him. Once he bottomed out, you wrapped your legs around him in an attempt to bring him impossibly closer. The dark lust that swam in his eyes broke for a second, replaced by the warm smile that made you fall in love with him in the first place. He bent down to kiss you, and you happily reciprocated. 
Hoseok moved his hips slowly as he fucked you at a deep yet gentle pace. Mouths still colliding, you shyly licked at his lips. Taking your hint, Hoseok’s tongue met yours. As the kisses deepened with more saliva being interchanged, Hoseok’s thrusts became harsher.    
“You’re so fucking sexy. Lemme see that ass baby,” Hoseok growled as he flipped you over.
He smacked your ass twice and watched it jiggle in awe before placing a firm grip on your hips. Almost animalistically, he bucked into you. Your body jolted forward with each thrust. You had never been fucked this hard before, and it was heavenly. Hoseok’s control over his body movement was insane. Your moans grew louder as his hips continuously rolled into you. 
One of Hoseok’s hands formed a tight grip on your hair, roughly bringing your head up off the ground. You couldn’t stop your wanton moans from filling the open air. 
“H-Hoseok,” you cried out.
“What is it? Is it too much for you?” Hoseok cooed in your ear as he brought your head back even closer to him.
“Mmm-no,” was all you could make out.
“I knew you could take it all, such a good slut,” Hoseok praised as he let go of your hair.
Unable to hold yourself up, you immediately fell back onto your chest. Your fingernails dug into the dirt as you could feel another orgasm swelling up inside of you. 
“I’m gonna cum again,” you wailed out.
“I’m almost there, wait for me baby,” Hoseok instructed.
With perfect timing, Hoseok let out a guttural moan as he spilled his seed inside of you. Sounds of pleasure bounced around the grove as you came in unison. Hoseok’s cum dripped down the sides of your inner thighs when he pulled out. 
“How did I do, sunshine?” Hoseok asked jovially as you laid on the ground before him.
“You knocked me out. I don’t think I can move for a while,” you weakly answered with a smile.
“Not a problem, we can just stay here for a while, sunshine,” Hoseok laid down beside you, beckoning for you to rest atop his chest. 
“I like when you call me that,” you yawned.
“Sunshine?” Hoseok asked.
“Yeah, that. It makes me feel special,” you nodded.
“Is that so? I’m glad it makes you feel special, because you are. You’ve always been the spunky night fairy that everyone knows but is too afraid to approach,” Hoseok laughed.
“What! I am totally friendly! Just not to those who piss me off,” you defended, “Which...I guess is a lot of people so I suppose I see your point. What made you want to be my friend if everyone thought I’m scary?”
“You treated me like everyone else. It always felt like people put on a fake facade around me since I’m the chief’s son. They’re nice to me to try and curry favor with my father, or maybe flirt with me to try and gain some special sort of status. I don’t know. I’m just me,” Hoseok shrugged. 
“If it makes you feel any better, you’re my sunshine,” you hugged him.
“That makes me feel great. I’ll do my best to see you more than twice a year, okay?” he kissed your forehead.
“I guess I can clear my schedule and come over to visit you too,” you giggled, “Or maybe we can run away and make a clan of our own.”
“Are you serious?” he asked, “Don’t tempt me. I’d love to go somewhere where no one knows my name or expects anything from me.”
“How about we go to where the day meets the night?” you offered.
“Like what? An eclipse?” Hoseok said as he gazed into the night sky.
“Precisely. We can make an eclipse clan. We only have to do festivals for eclipses, and those are kinda rare,” you giggled.
“Sounds like a good dream, sunshine. Let’s seriously discuss it in the morning when we’re both more sober,” Hoseok kissed your forehead.
“Goodnight, my sunshine,” you whispered into his chest.

Day 30: Partners (MONSTA X: Chae Hyungwon)
this is horrible HAHAHAHA it's the second-to-the-last day of MTM and today's prompt is:
Day 30: Sports Setting
and i was going to make like an "i can do anything better than you" plot, but this is the most i can do with the time i had today. was super busy and this deformed baby is what was born. hayyyy idk, i was really looking forward to this prompt bc (1) the premise i made was really fun and (2) it's hyungwon HAHA but apparently my brain juices have run out
ALSO IF Y'ALL ARE WONDERING, the sport they're doing is dancesport aka competitive ballroom, which i also practice hihi i'm so predictable, trying to insert dancesport into every sports related thing lmao. it is 100% a sport and south korea is also a member of the world dancesport federation. it was so hard trying to describe the steps without being overly technical and using the actual names man, brain hurty
PAIRING: Chae Hyungwon x reader. GENRE: fic, fluff. WARNINGS: swearing. WORD COUNT: 1,470.
---
“Two—three—cha-cha-cha! Two—three—cha-cha-cha! One more—cha-cha-cha!” your coach chants, clapping in time to the beat as you and Hyungwon spin around the dance floor. You end with your right feet forward and in an open hold, your hands held lightly in his. The music stops and all that’s audible is your labored breathing.
“Oh my god, fuck,” Hyungwon says, letting go of your hands and doubling over to take in deep breaths. You drop your hands to your hips and walk around, trying to slow your heart rate before sitting down to grab water. “How long until the end of the combo?”
Your coach leans on the wall next to the sound system, leisurely scrolling through his phone. “Not long, just a few more steps,” he says. “Ten minute break and we’ll try the rumba. And let’s try to finish it today, shall we? So we can work on your jive on Wednesday.”
You waddle over to your bags and crouch down to grab your water bottle and squirt some much needed liquid in your mouth. You let out a satisfied sigh after swallowing, breathing out slow before standing back up and wiping your sweat with a towel.
Hyungwon does the same, leaning one hand on the mirrored wall as gulps down water. He rests one foot on its heel and turns it this way and that, flexing and pointing his toes to stretch the muscles; the other foot gets the same treatment.
You go up to the mirror, a little ways away from your partner, and lean your weight on both hands to practice your swivels. Left foot steps to the right and as you change weight, bring the right foot in and face to the left side; repeat starting from the right foot; repeat starting from the left foot.
It’s quiet in the studio as you mind you continue your swivels and Hyungwon reviews the choreography on the floor. For the nth time these past two weeks you wonder how you ended up with him as a partner. You still somehow can’t believe that there isn’t another guy available in the club to compete with you for the Lilian’s Cup this season—and you still somehow can’t believe that Hyungwon of all people offered to partner with you.
It’s not like he’s a bad club member—far from it, actually. He shows up for every club meeting, sure sometimes he’s late but he participates the whole time and even asks to stay behind to work on the choreography sometimes when it’s a particularly tricky variation. You just. Never really talk. He hangs out with the couple of friends he has in the club, and you stick to the club officers who you know from some of your classes.
There’s this tiny voice in the back of your head that’s nagging at you to just talk to him. Because in the five training sessions you’ve had this month, not once have you spoken to each other save for the cursory greetings before and after practice. It’s mostly you both talking to your coach and not acknowledging each other.
Which is really bad, given that you’re supposed to be partners and have chemistry, especially for a dance like the fucking rumba.
You sigh, closing out the couple of cucarachas you did to stretch out your hips and slide over to watch Hyungwon.
He’s just starting the second combo you’ve learned for the routine, the natural top. So you slide into the ballroom hold and do three sets of rumba walks forward in time, looking at anything but him, though you can imagine the surprised look on his face.
After the natural top, you slide into an opening out and prepare for the sliding doors step, when you see Hyungwon stop from the corner of your eye.
His arms are outstretched in the proper positions, his left hand still holding your right, but the rest of his body is stuck in an unflattering stance, eyes flitting about and brows furrowing in frustration. “What’s the next step again?”
“Sliding doors,” you say, and step forward. He steps back as you lean your weight on your forward foot and lift your connected hands up and over your head. You step slowly, allowing him to find his footing in the step, and after a moment of fumbling, you watch both of you in the mirror, properly meeting in the middle and splitting with every side step. After the second sliding doors step, you halt, coming to the end of the choreography so far. There’s still a ways to go, seeing as you’ve only been taught around sixteen bars.
Despite the rumba being a slow dance, you’re still somehow breathing heavily. You lament sometimes that the rumba is your favorite dance because the muscle control it requires is insane. The push and pull between slow and sharp movements gets you off kilter at some points, especially if those difficult turns have to be done without support from a partner. Therefore, communication is necessary to build a solid foundation of give-and-take.
Which means you really have to open your mouth and talk to Hyungwon sometime soon if you want to do well for the Lilian’s Cup.
You pivot to face him, the canvas soles of your heels helping your sharp turn. “Do you need help with the choreo?”
Hyungwon had been staring at the ceiling, no doubt running through the routine in his head once again, but looked down at you when you spoke. He shrugs, bites his lips and says, “Yeah.” He sighs, resting his hands lightly on his hips as he leans on one foot, the other tapping the floor in agitation. “I have a tough time memorizing choreo unless I make it, so…”
You blink. “You make routines?”
Another shrug, and he holds up a hand with the palm down and tilts it from side to side. “Eeehh, sometimes. I’m still learning, and it’s full of basic steps. Definitely not competition caliber yet, not even bronze.”
You purse your lips, nodding. “Still, though, that’s pretty impressive. I’ve been dancing for a while and I can’t create choreo yet.”
“Well,” Hyungwon says, bending his lanky body backwards to open up his chest. “The first step is always the most challenging, I’d say. Once you actually try, it’s easier to take the next steps.” He intertwines his fingers and raises them above his head, groaning from the strain.
You smile at that, and decide that maybe Hyungwon is a better conversation partner than you initially thought. “How about we set like, a day in the week to practice. Just us, you know. I can help you memorize the routines for Lilian’s and you can teach me the stuff you make.” You clear your throat, gaze stuck on your feet, pointing and flexing and looking for something to do. “You know. If you’re cool with it.”
Hyungwon hums. “Yeah, sure.” You look up to see him looking into space, finger tapping on his chin as he thinks. “Can we meet up in the afternoon, though? ‘M not much of an early riser.”
You chuckle. “‘Course. I hate mornings, too.” You wipe your sweaty forehead with your towel and let it hang over your head like a veil as you jog to your bag. You come back to Hyungwon’s side a moment later, holding your phone out. “I also just realized that I don’t have your number yet. It’ll make setting up a date way easier.”
“Mm, you’re right about that,” he says, slender fingers taking your phone and tapping on the screen before handing it back to you. His contact is saved as Dance Partner Hyungwon. “Just a warning tho, I might not reply sometimes because I forget to.”
You tap your phone against your palm and shrug. “S’all right. I’ll just ask one of your friends to pester you then, like Minhyuk. I know he’s pretty… persistent.”
Hyungwon scoffs, but he has a fond smile on his face. “Yeah, that’d do the trick. I’ve known him for years, he won’t shut up unless I humor him.”
You’re about to reply when two loud claps echo through the room. “Okay, you two, break’s over,” your coach calls. “Starting positions please, and let’s finish up this routine today so we can just keep polishing.”
After dumping your towel and phone on your bag and sliding your hand into Hyungwon’s as you get into position, you whisper to him. “I’ll text you later about that after-practice practice.” As the sultry music starts, you have a thought. “And don’t you dare pretend you don’t know me when I finally message you, Chae Hyungwon.”
He bites his lips and looks over your shoulder, fighting a laugh. “Fine, fine,” he says, and composes himself, just in time for your cue to take the first step.

RATE THE EPISODE 238 Responses
Tumblr media
“Assault” was a total hit with the fans, with 93.7% of respondents rating it a 4 or 5. Nobody gave the lowest rating this week, and only a couple of people weren’t as impressed with the episode. 
I wasn’t a fan of previous episode but GOD I’M BACK TO HYPE! This episode was so full of awesome scenes that picking just one favourite and one that made me most emotiona seems unfair
Incredible improvement. Almost reminded me of Season 1 with all the impact/shockwave flair at times
Was amazing
THIS IS THE BEST BY FAR AND EVERY CHAPTER IS FREAKING GOOD
It was a banger 
One of the best episodes in the ENTIRE SERIES. At first i was skeptical because the cgi often kept throwing me off but i was PLEASENTLY surprised how fantastic the last episode was
it was awesome
So proud of MAPPA with what they've done so far! Appreciate them! 💕
It was breathtaking and MAPPA did tje manga justice!
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING ACTION MOMENTS WAS YOUR FAVORITE? 237 Responses
Tumblr media
Armin making his entrance by blowing up the harbor took the edge this week, with 28.7% most hyped up about the scene. Following closely behind with 26.2% of the vote is Eren using Porco as a nutcracker to eat the War Hammer Titan. 19.8% most enjoyed watching Mikasa fillet Porco’s legs, and 17.3% liked the scene where Sasha and Jean help take down Pieck and the Panzer Unit. 
Jean vs. Pieck was epic!
Levi was so awesome!  It was great hearing his voice again, just everything about him made my day.  this episode was perfect <3
NUTCRACKEREN
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING MOMENTS MADE YOU FEEL THE MOST EMOTIONAL? 237 Responses
Tumblr media
To counter the breathtaking action this week, some scenes also brought out our emotions. 25.7% were most affected by Gabi and Falco desperately calling out for Reiner to save Porco and help them. 20.7% felt the same pain as Mikasa as she watched Eren brutally kill another person. 15.6% were pained to see Armin’s reaction to his horrific action of destroying the harbor. At some smaller percentages, people were also emotionally touched by these scenes, in order: Seeing the Panzer unit’s pictures in their cabins, Porco’s desperate pleas for Eren to stop using him to kill Lara Tybur, and Reiner’s continued desire to end his own life. 
Seeing hange onscreen again has added 100 years to my lifespan.
ON A SCALE OF 1-5, HOW EERIE DID YOU FIND THIS IMAGE OF THE WAR HAMMER TITAN? 232 Responses
Tumblr media
Overall people weren’t too spectacularly creeped out by the haunting image of the War Hammer Titan at the beginning of the episode. About 45.7% of respondents feel they’ve seen things much creepier, while about 33.7% felt it was more close to the thing of nightmares. 20.7% were simply somewhere in the middle.
REGARDLESS OF HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT GABI’S CHARACTER, HER SEIYUU TRULY WENT ALL IN ON HER SCREAMS FOR REINER. ON A SCALE OF 1-5, HOW BONE CHILLING WAS HER PERFORMANCE? 228 Responses
Tumblr media
Gabi’s seiyuu truly sold this scene and the fandom seems to overwhelmingly agree that she did a fantastic job, with nearly 93% of respondents ranking her performance a 4 or 5. Only a small handful were less enthused, finding the screams more annoying than impressive. 
I’m usually a defender of Gabi, but Falco and Gabi’s screaming annoyed the f out of me
SOME FANDOM SPACES SEEM TO BE MORE POSITIVELY RECEPTIVE ABOUT THE CGI IN THIS EPISODE. WHERE DO YOU FALL ON THE SPECTRUM? 225 Responses
Tumblr media
After much disappointment in the previous episode’s usage of CGI, people in the fandom are feeling a lot more pleased with it this week, with no one even ranking its usage as a 1. The majority felt that MAPPA did a good job, likely hoping that the trend continues.
I Thought the CGI Section in the opening bits looked incredibly wonky, But after that it was used well.
I've been fairly tepid on the CGI while acknowledging its necessity. However, this episode used in amazingly after I was a bit dissapointed with its use last week. Very satisfied with pretty much everything this episode.
DID MAPPA DO ONYANKOPON JUSTICE? 228 Responses
Tumblr media
Onyankopon finally makes his appearance and the fandom is overwhelmingly positive about MAPPA’s character design for him, with just over 87% of respondents either stating they are super happy with the design or that they’re straight up starstruck and in love. Only a small handful felt he could have been done a little better. 
Nailed it! Though I had to come back and see him in the rewatch. Was too focused on Hange and Armin. 
I honestly don’t care as he’s a relatively minor character in the manga
They did onion coupon really damn well
ONION COUPON!!!
He is significantly more bad ass looking than I assumed he would be 
He looks super cool but his voice is too soft. 
He looks even more like Finn than in the manga, and as a John Boyega fan I think that's a good thing!
Onion
Idc about his appearance, hope his character will just be portrayed correctly.
MAPPA HAS AVOIDED KEEPING IN SOME OF THE IMPLICATIONS THAT ZEKE COULD BE WORKING WITH ANYONE BUT MARLEY UP UNTIL THIS POINT. WHAT DO YOU THINK - WILL ANIME ONLY VIEWERS BE THROWN TOTALLY OFF GUARD NEXT WEEK? 223 Responses
Tumblr media
One of the joys for some manga readers when the anime seasons are running is seeing the way that our anime-only counterparts react to the story developments. One of the big plot twists next week will be that Zeke was working with Eren/The Survey Corps and people are eagerly anticipating the fan reaction to the revelation. 44.4% feel that anime only watchers will be totally thrown off guard and that MAPPA has done an excellent job of concealing this plot twist. 27.4% feel similarly positive about the fan reactions for this reveal, though a little disappointed there was a bit less room to theorize. 14.8% aren’t sure as they don’t really keep up with anime-only fan reactions, and a few either feel they’ve probably already pieced it together, or just don’t care. 
The Jaw might be down for the count, but jaws will still drop next ep.
I've been watching reactions from anime only people for this season and some are definitely putting together correctly that Zeke is in on the plan.
I listen to an “Anime only” podcast Where are you they literally called Zeke working with Paradis, but I’m not sure about others. 
I've already seen several theorize that Zeke is working with Paradis. The suspicious nature of his death in this episode clinched it for some of them.
Some of them will be surprised, but the ones who watch the anime more carefully and like to think about things most likely know that Zeke might work with Paradis.
MAPPA ADDED PICTURES OF THE PANZER UNIT TO THE INSIDE OF THEIR CABINS. DO YOU THINK THIS MADE THEIR DEATHS MORE EMOTIONAL? 227 Responses
Tumblr media
A small addition, but impactful nonetheless. 53.7% felt more saddened about the Panzer Unit’s deaths after seeing how strong their bond with each other was (or, alternatively, how hard all of the boys simped after Pieck). 37.4% agree that it added just a little more depth to the characters, though it ultimately didn’t do anything to move them too much emotionally. A handful don’t care or were just salty about the addition in general. 
Their screen time was short in general. It was a nice touch, definitely made me pause to get a better look and feel a bit bad for them.
That, and them screaming for Pieck as they get blown up :( amazing additions. 
I gotta be honest, I didn't even notice until I saw this question. I was too busy screaming over Sasha being amazing. It's a nice addition though.
Yes. It shows that the marleyan warriors were not emotionless monsters, but they had their lives, families, friends and were normal people overall. I felt really sorry for them. 
I didn't notice until I saw this question, but I do think it adds to the sadness. 
I was upset by their deaths because they and Pieck were a team and looked out for each other
I loved to see it! It really added more to their characters. The entire Panzer unit being Pieck simps, that is. 
They cut out the scene where the bullet actually HIT Carlo.
it just shows once again how complicated attack on titan is and how much their actions have consequences. no side is innocent
ON A SCALE OF 1-5, HOW DISAPPOINTED ARE YOU THAT MAPPA CUT THE PANEL OF PORCO SANDWICHED BETWEEN BURGER-CONSUMING PIECK AND COFFEE-DRINKING ZEKE? 225 Responses
Tumblr media
In the manga, we see a shot of Porco having a meal with Pieck and Zeke while he becomes distraught over the assault on his comrades. MAPPA omitted it, though for the most part fans didn’t really seem to care. Only about 21% of respondents felt something was missing without the small flashback, while the rest were indifferent or felt it never really fit in anyway.
ON A SCALE OF 1-5, HOW HAPPY ARE YOU ABOUT THE INCLUSION OF AN EXTRA LINE FROM PIECK TELLING FALCO TO RUN AWAY? 228 Responses
Tumblr media
As expected of the fandom, they agree that any new Pieck content is good content. Even though it was a small one-liner addition, the vast majority were very pleased with MAPPA’s scripting of this moment. Only a small handful felt it was unnecessary.
EREN USING PORCO AS A NUTCRACKER WAS SOMETHING THAT SURPRISED A LOT OF US WHEN THE CORRESPONDING CHAPTER WAS PUBLISHED. WHICH MEDIU, DO YOU THINK THE SCENE HAD A BIGGER IMPACT IN? 227 Responses
Tumblr media
A rare occurrence, but the fandom seems to agree that MAPPA excelled at adapting this scene and made it even more impactful than it was in the manga, with nearly 50% stating that they preferred the anime’s take on this moment. 35.7% feel that the impact was of equal strength in both mediums, and only 10.1% still prefer the original manga portrayal. 
I feel like the anime dragged it out a little bit and some angles were meh bc the cgi was more noticeable. I'll have to go back to the chapter to see how many panels were dedicated to the scene
Porco's seiyuu SOLD it. 
I think both are pretty equal but hearing Porco scream and beg for Eren to stop made it a bit more nerve racking.
titan eren’s face during the nutcracker bit was legit terrifying in a way I can’t quite explain 
The music, the voice acting, the scary CGI attack Titan. This scene was impeccably strong! I give it 100%
I felt more surprised in the manga because i didnt expect it, but in the anime porcos reaction made it more horrifying 
Hearing Porco made it even more impactful
Ngl, I was much more grossed out watching it animated than in manga form. Just all that blood and the swallowing...*shudders*
Eren was absolutely in the right here
The swallowing noises and the weird thick blood was absolutely disgusting 10/10
PIECK AND JEAN ARE CURRENTLY WORKING TOWARD THE SAME GOAL OF KILLING EREN IN CURRENT MANGA EVENTS. DO YOU THINK SHE’S FORGIVEN HIM FOR HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE ATTACK ON HER AND THE PANZER UNIT DURING THE EVENTS OF THE LIBERIO ATTACK? 225 Responses
Tumblr media
Unrelated to the episode itself, but remembering that Jean was partially responsible for the deaths of people Pieck loved was something that had us thinking, and we were curious what others thought as well. 39.1% feel that Pieck would never be able to forgive Jean for his part in the assault, but is big enough to move on and leave it in the past. 25.3% don’t want to make a call either way, as Isayama hasn’t done much to explore this facet of her character. 14.2% feel she’s moved past it completely and has forgiven Jean for his role. Smaller percentages either felt she doesn’t hold him responsible at all, or that she will always resent him and is only working with him insofar as to reach her own goals. 
It's war.
dont care fuck pieck
I mean there's no indication that Isayama has even considered this in my opinion so the answer is completely speculative. So like my answer is "She forgot and moved on" :D
She still has a pain in her heart after losing the Panzer Unit, they were her friends after all. But Pieck is smart and she understand why Jean did that. Also, the world is in fire so she doesn't have a time to think about it now.  
The Alliance characters are not allowed to keep grudges (thought at least it fits for Pieck)
The scene with Panzer Unit was so powerful in anime that it detroyed all my Jeanpiku hopes I had after the last chapter :’) I think Pieck could come to an understanding and blame others more than Jean but I’m not sure if she’s ready to fully forgive
I think that Pieck doesn't hold Jean responsible, understanding that it wasn't personal and just counts it as a tragedy from the war.
Pieck seems to be really understanding character and full of empathy. She’ll forgive Jean as soon as he shows he’s sorry for what happened (and he probably really is as long as he hates the idea of killing people)
WHICH SCENE FROM THE PREVIEW ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? 233 Responses
Tumblr media
We’ve got a heavy episode coming, and a number of things to look forward to. As expected, 40.8% are most anticipating the scene where Sasha dies by Gabi’s gunshot. 31.3% are looking forward to seeing Levi confront and arrest Eren. 23.6% are most looking forward to the big reveal that Zeke was working with Eren all along. Only a small handful are looking forward to the Gabi and Falco content before they board the blimp. 
I'm NOT ready for the next ep...
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS ON THE EPISODE?
This is where the fun begins both in anime only reactions and in seeing fantastic scenes brought to life.  
So good. Chills everywhere. Watched it so many times and still getting chills. The 3 minute sequence starting from Armin blowing up the port up to Pieck falling from the rooftop is mindblowingly good. Perfection. 
I remember being really sad when the WHT left the plot so quickly in the manga because it had the best titan design imo. I know we've seen her again in the recent chapters, but the WHT was even better with Lara seen controlling it. She looked so cool, calm and collected in that crystal the whole time. RIP Lara Tybur :( 
Ost are awesome !
Thought it was the best episode of season 4 so far. They kinda gave Hange the mappa egg head syndrome in their first full face shot though. 
It was phenomenal!! And really, if people still don't understand why Gabi goes off, they have their head in the clouds. Everything was so visceral and I genuinely felt fear for the warriors. It moved so quickly just back to back; I could taste the kids desperation. 
I think ending the episode with Reiner transformed is misleading yet strategic since it will tear apart the audience in the next episode.
This was the best episode by far! For a long time I couldn't get over how awesome the attack on Fort Slava in the first episode was and it remained my favorite, but this episode potrayed the war so well and you could totally feel the terror of the war with them!
So, so, so, so good. I was surprised by how emotional I got over it. Mappa is really making everything hit so hard!
Loved the episode! I believe this adaptation has even improved on some scenes (like Armin's tranformation and Gabi's screams), the ost and voice acting give it so much more power and the CGI looks better than in previous episodes. Really looking forward to ep 8 and the little surprises Mappa will give us with it 
This episode was really great, the 1st to get me truly hyped. I was very disappointed last episode because it felt very underwhelming was I watched it, so much so I didn't even want to participate in the poll last week because there was enough negativity about it out there and I didn't want to add to it. After staying away from others opinions and having watched this week's episode i gave 65 a rewatch and I honestly think it's a good episode, with small flaws here and there. I guess all the negativity can really affect how we perceive this adaptation. I realized I watched that whole episode looking for any moment mappa had messed up, moments that I knew people would complain about. This week I didn't and I enjoyed it a lot more. So even though it may not be like this for everyone, distancing yourself from all of the exaggerated "criticism" might just make you enjoy and appreciate it a lot more. 
I still strongly dislike how the CG Attack Titan looks but this episode looked MUCH better than the previous one and was even better lit, IMO. Armin looked beautiful, the colossal titan looked amazing and Levi looked the best he's ever looked to me. JEAN! He looked so good and so did Sasha! I absolutely love the character design this season and everyone looked fantastic. Loved it!
makes me wish porco hadnt died 
I think that I was so disappointed with the previous episode that I just lowered the bar. Either way I enjoyed this episode. I'm still very disappointed with the music choices and much they faded in the background even during climate scenes. But I did feel a lot better about the CGI specially since the barely used it in this episode aside from the titans. Oh man I cant wait the anime fandom reaction to Sasha getting shot. 
The episode was much better than the previous one. I loved it. I loved the moment of horrifying silence after WHT was eaten. The lack of music made the scene more serious and dreadful. Gabi's seiyuu made an excellent work as well. I didn't know I was going to say that but I think that Armin is pretty hot. In the manga he still has his cute baby looks, but MAPPA made his appearance more mature. Now I feel jealous of Annie ;P

using this gif here because there’s no way that i’d actually use it during a jaein interaction unironically!! but now that the event is over, this is me coming by to say that all event threads will be dropped. however, if there’s one in particular that you’d like to continue, please don’t be afraid to tell me! i’m more than willing to continue them if you’d like. this also means this is my first plot call in forever because my girlies need people in their lives! feel free to like this post, and i’ll come to you most likely tomorrow since it’s getting late over here. below the cut, i’ll have some brief information on what my muses’ lives look like right now! it could be used for plotting purposes, but also it’s kind of an update for me <3
jaein
she’s currently very busy with lucid schedules as well as being a dj for a daily radio program so she’s just gonna have bags under her eyes that grow deeper and deeper!!!
though she doesn’t know it yet, she’s going to get word about gearing up for a solo comeback sometime during the first quarter of next year (this album is already claimed for a late march release), and so she’ll be even more miserable! yay! 
but jaein’s marketable in a lot of ways, and dimensions wants to try to make her marketable music-wise since don’t make me laugh tanked
overall, she’s probably not super easy to meet up with since she literally has at least one schedule every single day, but she’ll try because she does need some time off with friends or people she cares about in order to stay,,, healthy for the lack of a better word
hyeju
don’t say no promotions ended not too long ago and even though it was only a week long, she really loved the song and the whole era!! so she’s Happier
of course, queendom also ended not too long ago and while the results are disappointing and rigged (she likes to believe so, sorry not sorry), it does reinforce the idea in her head that she likes to perform, and that she actually likes her job more than she used to think
she’s gearing for a lipstick comeback sometime this month, but she’s also preparing for a solo comeback at the same time! it’ll be the second part of what she’s getting told is a trilogy. like she didn’t know this information either until now but since i just wanna dance did pretty well, they decided she could use another mini album 
that’s pretty much it! nothing special going on in her life, and she won’t have any extra jobs at the moment so really her life is gonna be her apartment or the bc entertainment building
she’ll be easier to hang with than jaein.... hyeju’s basically kim possible right now so “call me beep me if you wanna reach me i guess”
suji
the results of our songs isn’t out until like a week from now so FOR NOW she’s still in the middle of participating in that! she’s been having quite a nice time getting to challenge herself through the program though the fifth place ranking both rounds have been kind of worrying since it means she could get eliminated this next time around
she’s just been working on a shit ton of music for our songs and then doing last minute things for her album that’s dropping this month!! she’s really really happy about how this album turned out despite not being allowed to write the title track but since she participated in some way on every other track, she thinks this is the most ~suji sounding~
aka suji’s very happy!! nothing can really crush her right now!! not even an our songs elimination!! though ngl it’d crush me as her mun lmao 
hospital playlist has finished airing and despite a lot of worry at the time of her casting, she gets an overly positive review when it comes to her acting!! but that’s mostly because she played a Really small role... anyway suji would like to hope she doesn’t get put back into acting tbh like the experience was nice but #notagain
she’s also been filming for busted which will start airing early next month!! i can’t believe i made her This busy, but suji’s a workaholic and a perfectionist to begin with so it’s not really a big bother to her. the drama filming was actually the most exhausting to her. all the other jobs are Fine
uhm,, yeah,,, she’s just busy,,, i guess that’s the best way to describe her life but still satisfied with her career at the moment!!!
yujin
funny enough, it turned november 3rd here right now as i was typing this post out which means the first episode of reply 1997 will air later on!! it’s her first lead role, and it’s quite different from her last role
the drama won’t hit popular status, but she’ll get very good reviews for the way she plays out sung shiwon!! people will know her as more than the seobang girl now Maybe!!!
reply 1997 is basically all she has going on right now but in the middle of reply 1997 airing, she’s gonna get an offer for her next drama, and that’s just gonna solidify the fact that gold star is adamant on turning her into this idol actress/model more than a member of element
which is kind of : ( for yujin because she loves loves loves to sing and perform on stage, but it doesn’t look like element’s getting a comeback anytime soon, and she’s just gonna have to keep acting
she’s not exactly sad, but she’s kind of disappointed yknow like she loves element with all her heart, and she constantly feels bad that she does better on her own than with the group

cats
a request for @carrochan !!! wrote this after we were #blessed with time skip kenma :))
*not tagging as spoilers bc it rlly doesn’t spoil any major plot points. but warning it is post time skip*
“Kenma, my love, the light of my life, you know how I adore you so, but you cannot bring another cat into this household.”
Kenma stood in the doorway separating the cool night from the warmth of his home. Clad in a super oversized sweatshirt, he had both hands tucked into it. And last time Kuroo checked, his boyfriend did not have a distended stomach that moved and purred.
When he had first opened the door, their younger cat Sushi jumped from the shelf to Kenma’s shoulders and was still perched there, balancing on his three paws while trying to get a whiff of the new addition, who was still hidden. 
“What cat?” The dirty-blond boy deadpanned, moving to slowly take his shoes off. Kuroo’s eyes narrowed when a rather loud ‘meow’ erupted from the liar’s stomach.
“New text tone.” 
Throwing his hands in the air, Kuroo turned and headed back into the kitchen. “Well, you and your new text tone can come and eat the dinner I made.”
After high school, Kuroo had persued college volleyball. He quickly climbed ranks and graduated with his masters in business and an offer to play for the national team. He accepted, asking first for a few months to complete an internship. Currently, he would only practice with the team and participate in home matches. Any traveling would have to wait until the new year.
Kenma, in his final year of university, was a widely successful board member of a multi-billion dollar company; the night it became official Kuroo cried, maybe a ‘lil drunk, and showed up at Kenma’s dorm with a bottle of sparkling apple cider. The whole night Kuroo babbled that he was dating a sugar daddy and that made him the sugar baby and now he was baby and Kenma sat and reminded him of the contract he had just signed, which would increase his income tenfold next year. He cried harder.
Now, the pair shared a small home close to Kenma’s job and Kuroo’s train stop. And with Kenma came their first cat. It was a stray he had been feeding at his dorm window. Sweet, old, kind Momo who spent her days lazing on the couch, sunbathing. With the new house came a new stray; Fuku was missing an eye and mostly stayed outside, but refused to spend the night out there. He slept on Kuroo’s side of the bed and brought back toys he stole from other cats around the neighborhood.
Two cats, two people; everything was balanced. And then, in a basket in the rain next to the bus stop was two tiny kittens, soaked and shivering. Kuroo had intended to foster them and foster only, but of course several months later and the pair were still running around the house causing the most trouble. Riku and Ryu refused to leave.
Sushi wasn’t really anyone’s fault; the cat had followed Kuroo home one day, allured by the smell of the fresh fish in his market bag. And he had stuck around. Three legs but the personality of a whole herd.
Five was more than enough; they were looking like a crazy cat house. But now, there was for sure a sixth, maybe seventh under what was definitely Kuroo’s sweatshirt. Just in case, he set out two more bowls filled halfway with cat food.
He could hear his boyfriend pad to the living room where his office/gaming setup was, as well as a gated area, and run back to the kitchen, missing his lumpy belly. They sat down at the island and silently enjoyed dinner. 
Over leftover apple pie, Kuroo broke the comfortable silence.
“If another cat just so happens to wander into the house, they could have their own bowl. But it sleeps on the couch; I’m too tall for another cat in bed.” Once their pie was gone and plates cleared, Kuroo moved to the couch and waited to be introduced to the newest member of their dysfunctional family.
Several minutes later, Kenma rounded the corner with the blackest cat he had ever seen. His ears were chewed up, fur long and wild making them look short. His eyes were closed; the animal had fallen asleep in his boyfriend’s arms during the short walk. 
Plopping down next to Kuroo, Kenma held the long cat out to him. 
“Kuroo, meet Minako.” The name didn’t fit the cat, but none of the others did. Why start now?
Set in his lap, the cat immediately cozied up and began purring. Kuroo almost sobbed at how cute and docile the creature was. Looking up at his boyfriend, he smiled.
“Don’t cry.”
“But, she’s so precious. She’s a baby.”
“If you cry I’ll tell your team.”
“They would understand!”
Kuroo and Minako became best buddies; her true personality was revealed the next morning: she was a little shit. Caused terror, hissed at thin air, and regularly stole socks. The duo’s favorite pastime was annoying Kenma during his streams, to the point where he would pause the game and throw whatever was closest at them. 
Minako claimed the spot right between Kenma and Kuroo’s head in bed, hissing if anyone but Kuroo disturbed her. The other cats stayed at the end of the bed until the demon was asleep. It was quite a sight; two grown men and six cats on one full-sized mattress. But they wouldn’t have it any other way.
(Until Kenma found another cat who was blind in both eyes and VERY energetic despite it)(‘I couldn’t leave him there. He kept running into the wall.’)
help me continue to write :)

Tumblr media
hello !! i’m holly, and i’ll be playing savannah white aka snow !! have some info about her.
tw: death, poisoning, implied child abuse, mild ptsd
[ pinterest ] [ playlist ]
BIOGRAPHY:
⚘ life begins for savannah white rather peacefully. she has vivid memories of baking with her mother and dancing on her father’s toes. she remembers standing the middle of the lounge room and singing when they had guests, and even when they didn’t. she remembers being read to and learning to play the piano and buying flowers and shouting ballads with both of her parents. as child, the world is big and exciting to her. she’s a little nervous, but her gentle spirit and kind heart makes it a little easier to navigate. she don’t need rose coloured glasses for the world to look so wonderful, so beautiful, so magical. it just is. she has everything a little girl could ever dream of.
⚘ life ends quite abruptly for savannah -- or, rather, her mother’s life does when she passes away. it takes her a while to process it. it takes her so long, in fact, that her father remarries in hopes of finding her a new woman to look up to. he has her best interests at heart, of course, hoping to find her a new mother, but savannah would have been happy with the maid or her nanny. savannah would have been content with watching julie andrews in the sound of music and calling her a mother, really. what she did not need was a stepmother so awful -- but unfortunately, an awful stepmother was exactly what she got.
⚘ it doesn’t take long for things to start shifting around the house. the woman is beautiful, but unkind. she is cold. savannah doesn’t understand how to get through to her -- she is encouraged to sing less, play music less, be quiet more. no matter what she does, there is something wrong. her father either does not notice or hopes that this woman is raising his daughter to be sophisticated and proper, but either way, savannah never gets to ask, because after about two years, the then-ten year old’s father dies in his sleep.
⚘ her mother is long-gone, her father poisoned, the maid blamed and arrested. savannah has never been so truly alone. she has nobody to confide in, to cry with, to hold her when she needs it. her stepmother, crueller than ever, seems to not care or not understand why she is so emotional. confining herself in her room is safe, but it is lonely. there is no music at all, now. no baking. only chores for the dear, sad little thing.
⚘ slowly, music returns to her. she listens to it to cope, she dances whilst she cleans, sings whilst she cooks. it makes her think so much of her parents that she can’t help but do it -- it is her last connection to them, after all. she makes sure to do it when her stepmother isn’t home, or at least to do it quietly. slowly but surely, music comes back into her life in bigger ways. her high school does musicals, which costs nothing but her time and effort, and if she makes sure her chores are done in a timely manner, she decides -- for herself -- to participate. it is good to be out of the house and away from her stepmother.
⚘ music is really where she flourishes. she isn’t a bad little actress, either, but it’s not as if she’s not used to pretending. pretending things are fine, that she’s okay, that her stepmother isn’t cruel and unkind. she still flinches, even to this day, if somebody yells or moves too sharply or too quickly. a therapist might call this, in combination with her recurring nightmares, post-traumatic stress disorder. she wouldn’t know, of course, because she’s happy to keep her head down and move away from everything that’s happened to her on her own.
⚘ savannah is thrilled to be at corona because she doesn’t have to be at home. in fact, the day after she was accepted, the girl left, not interested in staying in that house any longer than she needed to be. the bad press stresses her out, sure, but anything is better than her stepmother. 
HEADCANONS:
POSITIVE: considerate, genuine, gentle, optimistic, empathetic, tactful, polite
NEGATIVE: childish, naive, jumpy, sensitive, submissive, awkward, fantasy-prone 
studying music but has a real soft spot for musical theatre. during high school and college, savannah has played wendla ( spring awakening ), penny ( hairspray ), olive ( 25th annual putnam county spelling bee ), and rosemary ( how to succeed in business without really trying ). her first role and favourite to date was olive, but in playing Wendla, she had her first kiss
other dream roles incl. gertrude ( seussical ), liesl ( the sound of music ), brenda ( catch me if you can ), and audrey ( little shop of horrors )
she’s a huge romantic but aside from her stage kisses, she’s never been kissed irl. It’s really wild to her bc she keeps getting cast as romantic leads but cannot for the life of her talk to any cute boy in a vaguely romantic context
loves to bake !!! obviously. big fan of pies but follows up with cookies in second. any kind of sweet biscuit, really. stress baker. bakes treats as gifts, bakes for her study groups/rehearsals, anything. just loves it.
also obviously super loves animals. as a child, had bunnies and birds as pets.
hates coffee. it's too bitter and strong and tastes awful and so she'll make it for her friends if she wants it but she's a hot chocolate or tea kind of gal.
bad with horror movies, loves jane austen. favourite scents are apple, rose, sugar, vanilla, orange blossom, and clean sheets. always seen with a red lip, mascara and a touch of highlighter. has a large collection of lip balms, all vanilla or cherry scented.
would love to have a big sprawling garden one day, wherever she lives. would love a big family, would love a small family. just wants a family. like, a real one that isn't awful to her.
first celebrity crush was the scarecrow in the wizard of oz, also sky in mamma mia.
can sign !! also, allergic to fructose ( major symptom: chronic fatigue, but also nausea, abdominal pain, and inability to absorb iron ) and anaemic. can play piano, guitar, and a little bit of violin.
character insp. aka characters she relates to: sansa stark ( game of thrones ), hero ( much ado about nothing ), dorothy ( wizard of oz ), ti moune ( once on this island ), and rose tyler ( doctor who )
WANTED CONNECTIONS
musical friends / ex-cast mates: people who savannah’s done shows with !! could be high school or college shows, it doesn’t bother me !! ( OPEN 1 / 3: MABEL PINES, ARIEL TRITON )
neighbours: a couple of people who live on either side of her. maybe they can hear her singing in the mornings, maybe she keeps getting their mail. just really simple domestic stuff. ( OPEN 0 / 2 )
other musicians: savannah is a singer, but she can also play piano, acoustic guitar, and a little bit of violin !! i would love some musicians for her to jam with. could be classmates or otherwise. ( OPEN / ANY )

refuge: somebody who’s house she used to go to when her stepmother was being awful. they wouldn’t have known 100% what was happening, they did have a good idea of how bad she was. ( OPEN 0 / 1 )
unlikely friends: relatively self-explanatory. this could be somebody who is a real troublemaker or is super reserved, i don’t mind !! ( CLOSED: ZUKO OZAI )
protective friend: this is just the unlikely friend wc turned up to 11. this is somebody who looks after her when she’s on that naive bullshit, and she looks after them when they need it. ( CLOSED: VANELLOPE VON SCHWEETZ )

okay i am literally in the process of leaving my job rn, college only starts in February and i want some plots so pls check out the plots here under the read more and if anything sparks your interest pls like this so i can message you or just message me !
Tumblr media
mumu
something based on friends ?? a tiny thing where we get 3 characters each and they can be heavily based on the friends character or just a little bit ? then we can have like relationships between them . friendships ? old flings ? siblings ? different dynamics for each of them and threads with more than one at the same time. they always go to the same coffee shop together or they are always in each others apartment. a has a thing for b but b is oblivious and b has always been bffs with c and so on. honestly it can be so much fun and so pure ? pls i deserve nice things
oKay but like wizards in a wizarding school ? ? i would say hogwarts but that world is a mess right now so we could make our own lil world? where like we decide the subjects and the kind of magic and all that. it could have aspects from any magical world we want like idk hogwarts house or like different types of magics ( physical, natural, Illusion, healing, psychic ) from the tv show the magicians. and honestly whatever else we want ? we can throw our lil characters into it and populate this little world with tiny plots like ‘our houses are eternal rivals and i intend to crush you at this quidditch game but also pls go to the winter formal with me bc you are the prettiest person in school ?’ & ‘my family has been historically amazing at physical magic but i’m really bad at this. you seem amazing pls teach me so people will stop making fun of me’ & ‘i didn’t know magic existed and now i do and this is all new to me how is the frog talking and why are you not scared at any of this ? ? ‘ && ‘whhy do you think it’s cute to be the skater punk version of magical world and fly standing up in your broom ? you could seriously get hurt ? and see there you got hurt. what do you mean ?  help you with healer magic ? no i don’t want you to get expelled but we should call a teacher !’ and honestly whatever else you can think of 
okay but like a group of high school friends and their older selves ?? ?  ?? ??  like we could set all the high school threads in the 80s ?? ? ? ?? ? and have different personalities ? and then we also have threads like in 2018 years later when they see each other again in the high school reunion ? just ? pls? the high school sweethearts who signed the divorce papers three years ago and we are doing both the thread in which they fell in love and the one where they see each other again for the first time after the divorce. the high school rebel who became the local sheriff and the girl he loved who used to be the biggest nerd who had a thing over their last summer. we are doing both their wild adventures and them seeing each other again for the first time bc she moved back with her parents. the two best friends who remained best friends for all those years and they are seeing all of those people again and it’s just like ‘oh man glad this didn’t Help to us’ and we can have them as teens bickering and making fun of their teacher and them years later at the bar like ‘i miss having adventures like we used to’ there are so many possibilities ? for like people who grew disillusioned with their lives ? or people who got really successful . ? people who stopped talking altogether ? people who remained friends forever ?? ? plspls it could be so nice
Okay but a group of old immortals/wizards/witches ? something a long the lines of the originals but they are not all siblings or the hogwarts funders but there is no school involved. like they have known each other for centuries and they have been friendly-ish. they probably got a hand in many important world changing events in history and like maybe they have to come together and stop the apocalypse every 500 years or one of them call them all up and it’s like ‘hey guys so skarsgård is going all ruler of the world again and i can’t stop him alone bc he is more powerful than me so could you pls? help me?‘ ? ? ? ? there are so many possibilities. we could play with different types of characters like ( one wizard who spent the last 100 years in a hole on the ground and he is just done with humanity while there is another one traveling around and trying to write a beautiful book about humans and life but it lowkey sounds like a fake deep tweet ) or like hundred years old relationships where they go ‘making me jealous in 1954 didn’t work why do you think it’s gonna work now?’ or smth like ‘baby we have been together for 3 centuries and you still make me blush’ OR OR  we could get more into plot like half of them go ‘i’m done with saving humans every hundred years. maybe skarsgård is right and we Should rule the world’ while the other half goes ‘what ? no humans are amazing? our job is to save them ’ and just those super mega powerful wizards fighting each other ? pls we could go in whatever direction you want just pls let me play incredibly powerful wizards
the PTA group ?? i love playing older characters but also like there are so many possibilities and it could be legit funny and full fluff and angst like ? we have those two married characters who are a perfect couple but maybe they are not that perfect ? the single parent who is just really Trying but is always late ? the divorced couple who is only participating bc the other is and they wanna show how much Better of a parent they are ? the teacher who loves to do all of this and is honestly worried about everyone drama ? the teacher who Had to sign up for this bc it was given to them as a punishment after they didn’t something and they are just standing there like ‘why are all of you so extra? just go home. you know this is optional now?’ everyone getting involved in each other’s business ?? ? everyone being lowkey friends ?? ? dR a Ma also all the supportive parents going to the kids games and the kids just being super happy
a greek god mumus ??  maybe we pick two ships and develop them like ( idk hera & zeus and hades & persophone ) or we just pick around the characters we wanna play. and we can have like all of them stuck in the real world, stuck in a human body. zeus wanting to fly to be an eagle to go somewhere but being stuck to earth. being the biggest asshole in the face of this earth but also not being able to let hera go? ? not knowing how to function properly when she is not around. and maybe idk maybe in this life hera doesn’t stick around. maybe in this life the only reason why they are still legally together is because he didn’t sign divorce papers, maybe she is done with him and done with trying when he clearly doesn’t give a fuck. maybe in this life she is a wedding planner and when people ask her to plan their marriages she gives them advice on knowing when to be forgiving and when to stick up for yourself. hades is the leader of a biker gang but he is mostly really quiet and chill and he has three pit bulls who just hang around him and do nothing of true harm ?? and the only person you can actually be terrified of is his wife ? ? bc even tho logic dictates otherwise it seems like she sets fire on the concrete she walks through and makes plants grow when she passes by and it baffles every existing human ?? and hades being ‘listen man i would forgive your betrayal but my wife i mean, she kinda asked me for your head and i can’t say no….’ chris evans a poseydon, poseydon as a surfer dude ??  as a guy who works/owns an aquarium and understands the animal there in a way that doesn’t make sense to anyone else ?? who has the biggest pools for the animals to swim around, even if it makes looking at them harder for whoever is vising, bc all those animals have been raised in captivate and they wouldn’t survive in the ocean but he doesn’t want them to feel stuck ? he wouldn’t know what he would if he couldn’t swim around  in the ocean and he just wants them to feel free even if he can’t free them. ?? there are so many ways in which things can go ? i mean honestly i’ll shower in headcanons pls gimme.
this is the last one i promise but a plot with a bunch of criminals maybe ex-navy/army who work together. maybe based on the losers ?? where you got like the leader of the group who makes dubious decisions when there are woman involved and the stoic explosions specialist who knows the leader so well that the moment the leader flinchs he goes like ‘imma take over now. okay? okay.’ maybe you got the gun slinging asshole who makes inappropriate jokes and the person who is just Too Qualified to be around this sea of idiots. maybe they were all framed for the same crime and they have to live in the shadows hiding in a city in the middle of nowhere pretending they are normal civilians. maybe they were all trying to save someone and it backfired and they wanna go back to their lives but how  ? ? idk there are so many possibilities just pls.
1x1
muse a is hopeless romantic that may or may not be more in love with the idea of love itself than he has ever be with anyone. he quits relationships as soon as they get a tiny bit complicated but he is always talking about ~~~~ soulmates ~~~~. muse b the girl who is way too generous and helps everyone out of the kindness of her heart but expects way too much from everyone. she is always falling in love with people and breaking her own heart by thinking they care more about her than they really do. — now close your eyes and imagine. .. . there is so much potential for angst and fluff ?? ? like he prepares overly dramatic moment in front of everyone and like serenades her ? paints her as his muse and puts it up in galareis ? but also one fight and he talks about breaking up bc that is not true love ? while she is there just interested in the tiny things ? in the days at home with him alone and the way they make each other laugh ? she is such a simple girl and they make each other so happy and he just Can’t see it ? ? ? pls 
muse a is the overly responsible single father/mother had to take care of themselves and his son/daughter ever since they can remember. they Cannot Relax because they must do 110% percent at all times for his kid. muse b is the mother/father of three who laughs way too easily and embarrasses his/her kids dancing in public and cracking bad jokes but they are so bad with time and like doing the Simplest things… — now just .. .. just picture. ..  the two of them meet at a school thing and become friends like maybe everyone talks about the two hottest dads in school getting together maybe they are talking shit about Sharon who doesn’t tell her son no and they bond bc ofc they do. .. and it’s totally like pfffftt pfffffffffff we are just friends .. . expect ‘i knew you would forget your kid’s lunch bc i know you so i packed one for your kid too’ and ‘yeah i know you have a kid but i have a babysitter and we are going out bc you are not Allowed to stay inside another Saturday’ and ‘ofc i’ll go with to the game’ and ‘yes we would love to spend the holidays with your family’ and ‘we are just two bros chilling on a hot tub 5 feet apart bc we are not together. the fact that i wanna kiss you doesn’t change anything.’
characters i would love to play in any plot
okay, so here is the thing, i have two characters. they are super wealthy brothers. one is your local asshole i’m too cool for feelings. he is in his 30s and he goes around partying and making bad decisions and he made himself a successful businessman on his own just to spite his family bc they said he couldn’t do it. 99,99% of his decisions are made either based on anger or just so to feel good. the other one is your local golden boy. he is everything his family ever wanted him to be, and he was a child prodigy type who graduated college super young and has never acted like a child. he is his early 20s. 99,99% of his decisions are made based on what he thinks people want him to do and he just wants to please everybody if you would let me play them in literally any plot  ( preferably like some tiny mumu, i have two characters, you have two characters type of thing ) i’ll literally give the sun !! or cookies !! or anything really omg !! they also have a younger sister so maybe you could play her? ? or you could play some character who is dating the younger brother is starts to fall in love with the older and drama~~ or it could be some two character that you would like to play? like any two characters you wanna develop and we figure out a plot? pls? thanks

Yoongi Scenario: Thinking About You.
Request: Scenario based on Thinking About You - Ariana Grande! Prince au Yoongi! He needs to choose a wife to marry, but his parents think he hates the reader (princess) bc since babes he says he hates her! But he found himself thinking a lot about her! Cute jealous Yoongi round her! (and obvious denying it) Please be super romantic! 🙈
Genre: Fluff / Romance.
Yoongi liked to think himself a practical man, not dwelling long on superficial matters and do what needed to be done to not make his existence more troublesome, which was what being a prince was all about. Troublesome people, useless parties, unnecessary requirements for everything. For someone like him that wanted things simple and straight to the point being a prince required a lot of work. He tried to walk past his mother and the group of ladies following her everywhere without being noticed. Lately she had had just one topic of conversation, usually his mother was like that as she obsessed over the whatever affair she had at hand, this time unfortunately that affair happened to be his marriage.
-Yoongi my dear- she called but he just kept walking. -Yoongi- she called again making him stop at her stern tone.
-Mother- he turned trying to not glare. -I’m busy-
She frowned. -Yoongi, today we will discuss the candidates to…-
He huffed, again with that candidate thing. It was true it was a custom for the prince to have several ladies of the reign and princesses from other kingdoms as candidates for him to choose who to court. But it was also true that Yoongi didn't want to go through that as he deemed it unnecessary. He knew who he wanted to marry, no need to bring anybody else. The thing was he didn't want to get married yet and his mother wanted the wedding to be as soon as possible.
-Let go of that idea mother, you are wasting your time-
-Insolent, how you speak to your mother like that?- she recriminated between her teeth making him sigh profoundly. -You are going to marry and that is final, if you don't want to participate in the choosing then don't say a word when me and the council choose a girl for you-
He rolled his eyes. -I’m telling you it is unnecessary, I…-
-You nothing- she cut him mid sentence. -This is going to be done following tradition, candidates will be arriving today, so tomorrow we will have the first hearing with all the ladies and princesses I expect you to do your part-
Yoongi just nodded, walking away to go outside of the palace, this wasn't as he was planning all this to go. He hadn't planned anything to be honest, he didn't think he’d had to marry this fast, but his parents were in need of a longer heir line that could left his uncles as far from the throne as it was possible. Yoongi didn't want to not marry, what he didn't want was to be caught in a marriage with someone he couldn't stand, he wasn't a hopeless romantic, he didn’t day dream with love and romance rubbish, at least he hadn’t until now. But he wanted happiness, and with that thought there was just one person that came to his mind.
He had almost a year without seeing you, last time being when he travelled to your Kingdom for a diplomatic visit, nothing had happened between you, but as every year, as every time you saw each other Yoongi’s attention was undividedly yours. Even though you argued with each other every time you saw your faces you also ended up spending a lot of time together. It had allowed Yoongi to know you a little better, and now that marriage was in his way your face was the one that came when he thought about it. At first even he was a bit reluctant, you were stubborn and way too aggressive, impetuous and a bit spoiled. It had made him furious in the past, each argument with you had been an odyssey, a challenge.
But now all that was starting to feel different. Yoongi wondered if you felt the same, if the feelings of childish rivalry had turned into an undeniable attraction, if it was his face that came to your mind at the thought of marriage. If that was the case then his mother was wasting her time, tomorrow you’d surely be between the elected girls as a princess of a nearby kingdom and Yoongi wasn't going to hesitate.
The palace was preparing for all the festivities that a royal election took. The hearing itself, tended to be short or long depending on the prince’s pick and the council. Then that lady or ladies in case there was the case of the decision not being final, had to be seen by the royal physician to see if the future queen was healthy and virtuous. Those were the traditions and the rules, Yoongi didn’t care much for them but he knew it had to be done. But the biggest of all the preparations was on the ball that held in honor of all the ladies and princesses who came. It was a way of the crown to give the ladies merit and honor, of rejecting them without hard feelings.
The servants had fawned over him that morning, Yoongi ended up shooing them away like flies. It was impossible some times, even if he had lived all his life like this he felt like he could never get used to all the paraphernalia, he liked luxury, that he couldn’t deny, but the rigorosity of the rules of the court were tiresome to say the least.
-They are waiting for you your grace- a servant told him doing a deep bow.
Yoongi nodded, going into the hearing room with long strides. There was a long table occupied by   his mother and the council she had summoned for today’s purposes, a few meters in front of them there were the girls who had been provided with comfortable velvet chairs and refreshments. He didn’t look at the girls until he occupied his sit, at the center and beside his mother, the queen, but he could hear them standing up, whispering over him. What would you be thinking?
-Thank you- he said as courtesy demanded, after that all of them sat up on the places assigned for them. There were fifteen girls in front of him, each with a chaperon standing behind their chairs, watching over them. Yoongi’s eyes went through them quickly, some of them he hadn’t seen in his whole life, some he knew as noble ladies from his kingdom, there was also a princess he had seen in a ball somewhere but he couldn’t remember her name. Four princesses and eleven noble ladies, he had to go back to each face wondering if his eyes were deceiving him, wondering what had happened, he saw your sister but you weren’t there.
He looked at his mother. -What is this?-
-Aren’t you happy with the election?- she asked confused. -These are finest ladies in marrying age, all of them of the nobility or a royal title, most of them are beautiful- she whispered.
-She’s missing- he spat between gritted teeth.
-She?- the queen looked at the girls but then, one of the advisers started to speak. About their kingdom being honored by the presence of the girls, about the hope of long lasting relationships with all of them despite the outcome of this reunion. Following suit the ladies were to make their own introduction for the prince.
-Excuse us a moment- Yoongi was in his feet again as he gained the attention of all presents. -Mother, if you please-
-Get back here- the queen glared and she whispered. -Let’s get this finished and then you do as you please-
Yoongi sat down again reluctantly, how could this be possible? It was ridiculous that between the candidates there was your sister but not you. What was his mother thinking? Wasn’t it obvious his infatuation with you? Perhaps not, but still. Or was it perhaps that you didn’t want to marry him? That thought made him even more confused. He’d swear you felt the same for him, he was confident. Or he wasn’t, as he realized now not everything was certain, he had taken you for granted.
His mother and the council ended up choosing a group of four girls to go on with the examinations. Yoongi couldn’t care less at this point as he just thought why you hadn’t shown.
He needed some air, all the hearing deal made him feel asphyxiated. Yoongi went out of the castle but most of the spaces were crowded, there were too many people, too many nobles. All of them demanding attention and entertainment, if he was seen every single one of them would like to have a word with him and as the crown prince he’d have to indulge them. So Yoongi opted for a safe retreat to the woods, with no horse to not grab attention, he just strode to the first line of trees, as fast as he could to not be stopped, and then, just as the shade of the woods started to envelope him from the busy castle he saw you.
Yoongi had been thinking on the ways he could talk to you, but encountering you in the woods hadn’t seem an option. He exhaled and chuckled and he took you in, giving him a coy smile as you stood there standing innocently with your hands behind your back, almost like you had been waiting for him.
-Your grace- you curtsied.
-Princess Y/N- he greeted back stepping forward, you extended a hand he took carefully in his own to lean down and give it a kiss. -Didn’t expect to see you here, I thought…-
-I decided to come as one of my sister’s companions- you answered with a shrug, you were very natural with him, not minding all that formality nonsense. Yoongi liked it but if it was true a part of him wanted to go on with your usual “games” that as you grew up turned more into flirtation than anything else, he knew he had to get answers regarding the hearing.
-Why weren’t you there? At the hearing-
You frowned, your head turning to a side in doubt making your hair move in that same direction, revealing a bit more of the cleavage your peach dress offered. -Why do you ask me that? You know well-
It was Yoongi’s turn to frown. -I don’t understand, I…- he cut his words before being too direct, that there was no need of a hearing, or a choosing ceremony, that he had just one person in mind.
-Of course I’ll feel highly ofended if you choose my sister I must tell you that, between all those ladies my sister, I guess an alliance between our kingdoms is what my father wants but I certainly wouldn’t like it- you were speaking too fast, venting all over as you started to walk around and Yoongi tried to keep up. -I guess you can do it though, you can marry whoever you want, I must rush my wedding if you choose my sister I wouldn’t stand that you…-
-Your wedding?- he finally interrupted, baffled. So that was why you weren’t there? You were promised to another? The thought of you with another man made the jealousy come to him like a rampage, he’d fight that suitor whoever he was.   -When?-
-What?- you were confused. -So you don’t wish to marry me, but there are many princes and noble knights that would certainly like to do so-
-Who told you that?- Yoongi’s brain was running fast trying to decipher what was really happening.
-What do you mean by that your royal highness?- you rolled your eyes after saying his tittle in a mocking tone. -You don’t think I’m worthy of suitors?-
He shook his head getting impatient. -I didn’t mean that, who told you I didn’t want to marry you?-
This time you went silent as you stared at him, you were hurt by this, now he could see it. Yoongi didn’t like that look as he detested seeing you hurt, but if you were so disappointed then it meant you did want to marry him.
-Your mother- you confessed in a lower tone. -It clearly said in the letter, that you had specifically had ruled me out for the choosing-
Yoongi was outraged. Of all he things that his mother had done to him by the court sake over the years this was one of the worse, but why you?
-I didn’t do such thing-
You crossed your arms looking him straight in the eye. -Honestly I thought…- you inhaled deeply gathering courage, this was your chance to speak to him because after this visit everything would change forever. -I thought you and I would… I didn’t think all these years you felt that way, I felt like stupid little girl-
-Y/N- he said your name slowly. -Believe me when I tell you I have no idea of what you are talking about, what else did my mother tell you?-
You inhaled again. -In prettier words she said that you hated me- you shook your head. -That because of that I…-
-She said that on the letter?-
You nodded. -Your mother has never been one to hold things back, she didn’t do it with this either, I appreciate the honesty but I…-
-It isn’t true- Yoongi cut your words and then cursed, putting his hands on his hips as he wondered what in hell was his mother thinking. -I find all this choosing hearing thing nonsense, this is ridiculous to begin with, my mother saying that it’s just…-
-But you said that- you pressed. -Why would she invent something like that if not?-
Yoongi groaned. -I guess I did, but years ago, we were kids, we were always fighting, it wasn’t like… like it is now- he admitted looking into your eyes. -When my mother brought up marriage there was just one person I thought about Y/N-
-Yoongi…- you breathed his name and he went on.
-Who are you promised to?- he asked starting to pace to then stare deep into you again, you had never seen him so intense before, so grown and determined. It made your heart rush and the happiness extend on the new possibility for your future. -I won’t allow you marrying another man Y/N, I can’t stand the thought of it-
You blushed feeling giddy with his words, all your defensive attitude gone and in its place there was the girl in love, ready to go to your prince’s arms, finally Yoongi had decided, finally he’d do what you had always wanted him to do, fight for you, make you his wife.
-Who is he?- he pressed.
-Father is still in talks, he says he’s going to make a decision after this-
Yoongi nodded. -All is settled then- he stepped to your and took both your hands taking them to his chest so you were really close to him. -We can put an end to all this choosing rubbish- he scoffed and you smiled. -That is if you have me- you nodded silently not being able to contain yourself, he leaned down so your foreheads were touching, his breath so close to you it made you have goosebumps.
-I will want another proposal Min Yoongi, with a million flowers and all court watching- that made both of you laugh, this wasn’t your dreamed proposal but at the same time it was all you’ve ever wnated.
-You will have it Y/N, that is if I survive calling all this choosing ceremony off- you laughed again and Yoongi licked his lips, his heart running too fast, feeling himself being all that he never thought he would be, a hopeless romantic. -You shall have it Y/N, that and every single thing you wish for- He closed the final space, his lips posing on top of yours in the sweetest of kisses.

A Look At the Winter Event, the Future For Us, and Another Farewell Until Next Time!
Tumblr media
Hi everyone! Mod Morgan here! Well, here we are again. It’s always such a pleasure. Remember when you tried to kill me twice?-...wait, no, get out of here GLaDOS, Fire Emblem isn’t even your game! Another solstice passed, and another event finished. And it, ah, certainly was an eventful week, wasn’t it? I mean, aside from the event itself obviously. There were a lot of things that we weren’t prepared for, a number of them that were out of our control this time, but we had even more participants this time around than during the last Solstice! I hope this event seems like as much of a success to you guys as it does to us!
Before we get into our expressions of eternal gratefulness to you guys, however, I would like to preface this by getting a couple of things out of the way first. First of all, a short apology on my end. Between finals, trying to buckle in and work really hard to put this event together, and tumblr’s awful sense of timing, at least for us, among a few other things, we all got frazzled and a bit exhausted, and I think all that exasperation it seeped into a couple of my posts, more than I would’ve liked it to. If you didn’t notice it or didn’t think that it was that big of a problem, I’m glad it didn’t bother you, but I’m sorry for those that it did, because I know that it didn’t go unnoticed, and letting it impact some of my posts was really on me.  I hope you don’t think any of you guys caused any of that exhaustion though, because it’s just the opposite!...speaking of which...
...Tumblr sure picked the worst possible time, didn’t it? We don’t blame any of you for participating in the log out event, and honestly, had we not prepared this event’s schedule ahead of time, and based it around...you know...the solstice...because it’s the solstice event, there’s a good chance at least some of us if not all four of us would have done the same. I’m just glad we had the insight to poll you guys and that we managed to come up with something to tide everyone over until the next day, when we had to reschedule the sled races to. Thanks for sticking with us despite what happened, really, and to make another proper segue since I’m on that point... Seriously, thanks to all of you, once again. for sticking with us and taking part in this event. As I said, I’m pretty sure we had even more people participating than last time, which means this event and the community it’s building is growing, and that’s a good thing! We want people to feel welcome and comfortable here, above all else, and meet interesting new people...and have fun event-based interactions with those you already know of course. Maybe next summer, Tumblr won’t do something to add on to the stress for us and we’ll be 110% prepared ahead of time without a hectic pace in the last couple of weeks leading up to the event! I’m definitely going to try to adopt Morgan’s optimism as I often do with these events and use that to drive me next time around. Anyway, you know the drill! I’m rambling on way too much, and we still have three other mods that wanna talk to you guys, so it’s time to let each of them have their turns!
Tumblr media
Mod Eliwood here; while I’d like to keep this short, there are a few things I want to acknowledge. First, as short notice as it was, I want to place a huge shoutout to mods Lyn and Hector, who together did the lion’s share of coming up with the mechanics and numbers for the Yggdratrail. Secondly- yes, it was short notice. I’m sure many of you noticed that the mechanics seemed too complex, our writing was rushed here and there, and everything went up... late in the day. Part of that last bit was us noticing a lack of activity on the dash and accommodating the afternoon hours instead of the morning one, but poor time management and panic on our part also factored in.
That said, several of you have approached me in person and told me you were enjoying the event, and that made it worth it. I genuinely enjoyed being part of this one, and with activities and ideas that were our own, it felt more satisfying to run than the Summer edition too.
We don’t yet know if we’ll be doing a Summer Solstice next year- we’ll have to discuss schedules with the Scramble Squad first. But if we do, I definitely hope to see a good few of you there!
Tumblr media
// yooooo Mod Hector and just gonna make this one brief if my fellow mods have already expressed what I wanted to day. As before, I wanted to thank everyone for the support along the way as we hosted our second event for the community. Coming from a personal view, it still is a lot to manage so I’m always thankful for having my fellow mods to give advice, and of course the participants for contributing as much as they can.
I do want to apologize too bc I know my activity’s staggered after the Yggdratrail and I wanted to do a lot more to involve myself in all the activities going on. It’s certainly something I want to work on for the next time, especially knowing that my current job plays a factor in it all. Again, thank you for bearing with me here and my multimuse too!
Sooooo I’d be repeating myself here but I can’t say thanks enough for helping make this event what it was in the end, and looking forward, I hope to meet new people and see what else others have in store!!!
Tumblr media
And here’s Mod Lyn! I got way more caught up in school stuff than I expected, so I want to thank Mod Eliwood for being the one to get the ball rolling and poke everyone about everything this time. I wish I could have been around more for the second half, but real life struck...in any case, I’m glad to see people enjoying and participating in the event, especially new faces. 
....And although I know the Yggdratrail was probably super confusing when I was braindumping it all out, I’m glad that we managed to turn it into what it was (and it was soo much more complex before the current iteration too oops), and glad that the other mods could put up with my jumbled thoughts and rambles until we came up with something. I hope you all enjoyed the writeups -- though I admit there were some points where I was struggling, on the whole it was still fun to come up them!
And despite the hiccup that was our friend the Community Guidelines update, I like to think the rest of the event went fairly smoothly! I won’t say too much, so I’ll wrap up with a similar message -- I hope you all had fun, we couldn’t hold this events without you guys’ support, and see you next time!
Tumblr media
So, I guess it’s back to me to wrap things up. First of all, much like everyone else, I want to thank Mod Eliwood especially for helping keep us in gear and really getting us kick-started, and I also want to thank Mod Lyn for coming up with a system for the Yggdratrail that wound up working surprisingly well, though hopefully if we do this again, everything will be a bit-better ironed out and streamlined for everyone. But I want to also thank Mod Hector so much for helping pick up the slack and being there when I needed someone else’s support when everyone else was busy. I really wouldn’t have survived this event without you, for sure. And while I’m sure the message has gotten across well enough by now, seriously, I want to thank all of you for taking part and making this community grow a little more with this event. I will never, ever be able to express my gratitude enough, and hopefully you made some new friendships or strengthened some old ones through our humble little corner of FE community.
So, that leaves the question of what’s next for the Solstice Celebration blog? Well, we’re already looking ahead to the next Summer Solstice, and so long as the schedule of events lines up similarly to how it did around our first event, we’re definitely going to have our next event take place around then. However, the main event will certainly be a lot different. Whether we’ll consolidate the Obstacle Course down into a more compact version of what existed or build a new event, we’re not sure, but we’re gonna start brainstorming ideas once this event is wrapped up and we’ve gotten all your feedback-...and do keep an eye out for that feedback post, that’s coming up next. One thing we’re definitely going to do with the Summer Solstice event, however, is keep ourselves better prepared this time so it all comes out looking a lot cleaner, with less of a rushed panic, and less exhaustion for all of us, not to mention we’ll have a lot more time to work with, what with it being the Summer. 
So, once again, we all love you guys, and we hope you had fun being a part of our event! Take care of yourselves! We’ll still see you around the RP space as always...and sorry if we flood your dash with all the threads we need to catch up on. Until next time, welcome to the new season, and we hope you enjoy yourselves until the Solstice is upon us once more!

Mystic Messenger Pokemon AU!
I’m so glad you guys seem interested in the Pokemon crossover! I’ve been sitting on it since last July and it’ll be nice to write it all down! Since the MC is a self insert, they're the only one without a team ^^
I’ll put it under the cut because it got to be a little long @.@
Saeyoung:
Tumblr media
Seven is still a hacker in this AU. He has a special affinity for fire types for some reason, and Chimchar was both a gift from V and his starter. Instead of his father being Prime Minister, he was the champion. His mother used her Ghost and Psychic types to hide him and Saeran away, and his backstory parallels his regular one, with V getting him out and into the agency where he works. However, in this AU he works with Looker and Vanderwood, which makes for some interesting missions.
Along with his main team, he also has a rotom that lives in his cellphone and isn't normally used for battle. He's not above pulling out his secret 7th party member when needed. It may be “cheating” but he doesn’t really care.
Despite Emboar being his strongest Pokemon, he is rarely used bc he prefers to trick his way out of situations, and leave less of a trail back to himself. This is something Chimchar and Gliscor are pros at. All his pokemon are high energy like him except for emboar actually, he prefers to laze about and nap whenever possible.
Yoosung:
Tumblr media
Both Shinx and Electrike have been with him since he was really really little! It’s part of the reason why he acts like such a puppy, haha. Electrike was a gift from Rika. He was a puppy from Rikas Maniktrike and, just like Yoosung, adores her. Duckett was also the offspring of Rikas Swanna, and Yoosung had to deliver her himself bc Rika was gone. When she got back, she was impressed and Rika let him keep her. 
That's when Yoosung decided to go to school to become a Nurse Joy! (bc he wants to be a vet in mm i thought it fit). Audino acts like a mom to Yoosung and keeps him on track. Bosley’s most used move is fake tears bc yoosung cries so often. Dewgong he actually caught on a whim. He’s very sweet, good natured, and surprisingly lazy.
Instead of LOLOL, Yoosung loves going to the game corner and gets caught up playing games there for hours.  
Zen:
Tumblr media
Zens a contest coordinator and participates in pokemon musicals as well as regular musicals, like My Fair Ledian. Feebas was his starter bc his parents are horrible people and thought "an ugly boy should have an ugly pokemon!" 
Well he showed them!! He gave her all the love in the world and didn't even know she could evolve, but as soon as she did, he ran away with her to do musicals. Soon after, Absol was drawn to him bc Zen has the ability to see into the future (he keeps his ESP from the game, but it’s even more pronounced in this AU). Also his ninetails is shiny. He is basically a mini Zen. They share a spiritual connection, haha. Scizor likes to dance and Glade is a perfect gentlemen. 
All his Pokemon minus Alteria (whos acts nuts bc i thought it'd be funny) are amazingly well behaved but get a little too ruthless in battle (Since Zen was in a street gang when he was a kid in the actual game, I’m gonna say he was in team rocket for a while and his pokemon picked it up from there)
Jaehee:
Tumblr media
Mienfoo was her starter pokemon whom she loves dearly. They're both very detail oriented and Mienfoo is very patient as well, as the two of them understand each other very well. Onix she has just because I just love the idea of Jaehee having an onix. Like, people see she has her Cinccino sitting in her shoulder and challenge her for easy cash. Then she just sighs, and has onix crush them bc she is a very busy women with many errands to run, thank you very much. 
Cinccino she has bc she gets stressed if there are messes. Cinccino was actually a gift from Jumin bc he's not as cold as he seems and feels guilty when his pokemon shed all over her house when he leaves them with her~~ Cinccino is very thoughtful and makes sure Jaehees work station and house is clean so she doesn't have to stress out about it. She caught alolan ninetails thinking it was a shiny (like Zens) and she was excited bc Zens her hero (its rly cute, she's still his biggest fan). When she found out it wasn't she was a little disappointed but kicked herself in the butt and took responsibility, and now ninetails is her most doting pokemon. She also is a big fan of Zen’s ninetails lol. 
Sawk she received as a sparring partner for her martial arts (Jaehee can and will murder you). He's very driven and stoic but also very mom like  (funny enough) and has told Jumin off more then once (not that Jumin understands or cares tho). She very recently obtained stufful bc she's been feeling lonely and she heard they were popular with single women. Her only regret is the increase in her weekly food budget.
Jumin:
Tumblr media
So Empoleon was his starter pokemon and, like him, is very formal. His name is Sir Rupert Esquire, or just Sir Rupert. The two aren't very touchy feely but that's only bc Jumin has a steel wall up around him and whenever hes feeling extremely vulnerable he tends to stand extremely close to him, and Empoleon gets it.
Serperior is named Ribbons and he caught her when she was a Snivy on a business trip. He's very fond of her and likes to watch her lounge around in his penthouse. Scolipede just seemed right somehow? Idk, it just fit. Staraptor is another of his childhood pokemon. Sometimes Staraptor gets a little ruffled tho bc Jumin doesn't like letting him roam to far. Jumin is a clingy baby, at least with his pokemon bc he feels like no one else was ever there for him fully besides V and Rika, and with Rika’s "death" V has been distant. Jumin’s a mess man, he just doesn't want to admit it. 
V gives him Lilligant as a gift to make him feel better about V being gone so often. Jumin kinda projects onto her alot and tries his hardest to make sure she's safe and well cared for since he cant to the same for V. Lilligant loves him so much it's not even funny though. Jaehee can tell how he's feeling based on whether or not she can smell aroma therapy on him, as Lilligant tend to spam it to try and help when he's upset. 
The pokemon Jumin most dotes on is Elizabeth the 3rd (Persian) tho bc just like with Lilligant, he projects Rika onto her. Elizabeth was a gift from Rika afterall. Jumin feels the most connected with Elizabeth as well because she doesn't respect his boundaries like the rest of his team. She likes to coddle and groom him and all in all is a sweet, spoiled girl who loves her dad very much. Jumin's the son of his regions pokemon mart branch owner, making him super freaking rich.
V:
Tumblr media
Okay, so I made V's team really cutise looking but I swear it has good reasoning. Okay, so his starter pokemon was Primarina and they are very close. He takes amazing care of her and she sings to him and gets him to open up a bit when he’s closing everyone out. She is very fond of Zen and mother’s him often bc motherly pokemon are #the best. Also V becomes a musician in one of his endings so I thought it was fitting. 
Solrock helps him with lighting for indoor photos and also on bad days for his depression, it likes to light up his room. Espeon is not only an empath who helps him through emotional stuff, but after he goes blind she helps him around and makes sure he doesnt hurt himself by tripping over things by letting him grab onto her tail. Vivallion he caught in a different pokemon (it’s a sun form but you know the team builder only has the generic art so shrug). V just thought he was pretty and photogenic. Chimecho was his mother's pokemon and after she died he took good care of her. And as for Maractus? V likes cacti and I just couldn't see him w a Cacturne.
Saeran:
Tumblr media
Saeran built up his team to counter anything that could be thrown at him. Lucario, as a Riolu, was both his starter and a gift from Rika when she recruited him into Mint Eye. He is her most trusted admin, and can usually take out a threat before it has time to get serious. He’s intense in battle, but is also very doting on his pokemon and can’t stand it when they’re hurt. He also dotes on Rika’s pokemon when they let him. 
Porygon is meant to directly counter Seven’s Rotom, and Vileplume is fitted with multiple different powder moves for any situation. In this AU, Saeran’s mental breakdown in the secret ending is directly pareled by his attempt to use mega evolution with Lucario, who isn’t at a high enough level to keep himself under control while using it. Incineroar was another gift from Rika, and she likes to walk around outside her ball too keep an eye on her trainer. Everyone of his pokemon has cutesy nicknames that he only uses outside of battle.
Rika:
Tumblr media
This is Rikas team. In this AU, she runs the Villain team, Mint Eye, like in the actual game. She had a Maneiktrike on her team till it died, which actually is what started her on her quest to catch the lake trio, which is Mint Eyes goal in this AU. She, like in the game, wants to get rid of all sadness in the world by getting rid of bad emotions and memories, as well as taking away will power that you could use to hurt other people. 
And until she can use the lake trio for that, she's using her trusty hypno and musharna to do it in their place. They’re a deadly duo. Swanna is pretty but also brutal so I thought it fit her well enough, plus it gave me a good reason to give Yoosung a duckett, haha. I gave her volcarona because it fit well, and also my own personal love for Volcarona. 
Sunflora is a pokemon that looks soft, but Rika’s has Leech Seed, Toxic, Worry Seed, and Attract. Rikas favorite is worry seed since she finds it easier to manipulate people after inducing an insomnia based paranoia. It helps with conversion. Alolan persian is her spoiled baby boy whom she loves. Imagine Garfield, but also with the alignment of John Arbuckle.

Messing Around
Gotham One Shot
Pairing: Reader x Oswald Cobblepot
Other Characters: —
Warnings: Violence and death
Request: “Can you do a one shot request on Oswald Cobblepot? Reader (male since Ozzy's gay) works at a bakery and as Oswald befriends (& falls for) Reader - his enemies try to go after him, BUT they never hurt him bc Reader is a mercenary. When one of Oswald's enemies tell him they're gonna kill Reader soon, he rushes to save him but find all the hitmen dead & Reader is cleaning up. Oswald confesses his feelings & Reader says he knows and asks Oswald on a date... I think I just wrote the story 😂😂 sorry” — @sociallyawkwardperi
Word Count: 1,721
A/N: No need to apologize for anything!!! I could totally picture Oswald getting super flustered by a really badass reader ashdgashdasd anyway I wrote this on a plane and my eyeballs feel like they’re about to burn out of my sockets and I don’t know if it’s jetlag or what but anyway but I hope it’s okay!!
please reblog/leave comments, they’re very much appreciated!
Your name: submit What is this?
You would be lying if you said you didn’t miss it.
The adrenaline rush. The power surging through your body. The violence, the fighting. Perhaps you really were a monster, through and though, but it was who you were — there was no point in fighting it. You had stopped trying to deny that dark part of yourself a long time ago.
Nevertheless, your life as a mercenary was one you left behind when you moved to Gotham. A new start, a new identity. You picked up a job at a local bakery, stirring batter, pulling cakes out of the oven. Less exciting, for sure, but there was something about the mundaneness, the routine, that you quickly adopted and found an odd sense of peace in.
However, your pace of life quickly took a turn the day you met Oswald Cobblepot.
The bakery was one his mother frequented in, and the mere aroma of baked goods was enough to stir up childhood memories for Oswald, memories of him tagging along with his mother as she bought various treats for the two of them to share. For a long time, Oswald had avoided the bakery after his mother’s death, the once sweet smell now sickening. However, as he walked down the street, he decided to visit, just this once. Perhaps this would be the last time, Oswald told himself, perhaps this would be closure.
You knew very well who Oswald was when he stepped inside the bakery. Who in Gotham hadn’t head of the infamous, self proclaimed King of Gotham? Nevertheless, despite your coworkers immediately cowering into the corners, you squared your shoulders and tilted your head up, looking Oswald straight into his eyes as you welcomed him inside.
An amused smile flickering onto Oswald’s face as he looked you up and down, sizing you up. He took a few steps deeper into the bakery, looking into the glass cases. If he narrowed his eyes, he could almost picture a reflection of his younger self in the glass, clutching his mother’s hand as he eagerly pointed at one of the croissants. They were always his favourite.
“I’d like two of those, please.” Oswald jammed a finger into the glass, looking at you. You nodded, grabbing a paper bag as you reached for the bread. Oswald watched as you approached the cash register, pressing a few buttons before looking back at him.
“That’ll be $4.60.” you responded, not a single sign of fear or intimidation in your voice or expression. Behind you, you could hear your boss fumble to push you aside as Oswald gaped at you, momentarily speechless, as he could’ve sworn a tiny, mischievous grin spread across your face.
“Excuse me?” Oswald spluttered. He couldn’t even remember the last time he had to pay for something, his presence being enough of a payment for anything he did. Your boss was quick to correct you, holding out the bag as he insisted it was on the house. Oswald held his hand up, refusing the bag momentarily as he reached into his pocket and fumbled for his cash. He couldn’t decide if he wanted to kill you for your disrespect or applaud it, but Oswald knew one thing — you had certainly made one hell of an impression.
“Thanks for your business, Mr. Cobblepot.” you smiled politely at Oswald as he handed you the money, and Oswald scoffed. Teasingly, you winked at him, and Oswald felt his heart skip a beat.
Oh, no. Oswald thought. He knew what that meant.
Maybe he really did have a type.
Oswald lay on his armchair, deep in thought as he stared at the flickering flames of his fireplace. Snarky and unapologetic, Oswald could see aspects of you that you shared with Ed — the Riddler side of Ed, obviously. It had been a week since Oswald had seen you, yet you were the only thing on Oswald’s mind. The rebellious young man, who Oswald could tell had some sort of dark hidden secret. Your cute little bakery apron wasn’t fooling him.
Eventually, Oswald couldn’t resist. He had to go back and see you. He could see your expression light up when he entered the bakery again, a smirk sliding across your lips. Oswald straightened, trying his best to maintain his sense of authority as he remarked, “I brought some money this time, in case you thought about charging me for my croissants again.”
You couldn’t help but laugh at his sarcastic comment, and Oswald blinked in surprise. You immediately seemed to loose up, your smile making you seem even friendlier. Oswald couldn’t help but grin slightly, before he quickly shook his head. As charming as he found you, he wasn’t really looking to develop feelings for anyone.
“I was just messing around.” you waved your hand, reaching for the same croissants Oswald had ordered before.
“Messing with me?” Oswald repeated, bewildered. Stepping up to the counter, Oswald pointed a finger at you as he demanded, “Do you know who I am? And what I can do to do if you disrespect me?”
“Yes.” you simply replied, flashing Oswald the same polite smile as last week, holding out the bag to him. Oswald raised his eyebrows at you, waiting for you to elaborate, but you nudged the bag towards him, indicating you had said all you wanted to say. Oswald gaped at you, completely out of his element. Such a simple response had sent him into a confused flurry.
“What exactly is your name, young man?” Oswald demanded, attempting to put you down to reestablish his dominance.
“y/n.” you replied curtly.
Snatching the bag from you, Oswald pointed his finger at you again. He didn’t know what you were playing at, but if it was a game you wanted to play, Oswald was happy to participate. Walking backwards towards the entrance, Oswald replied, “I’ll be back.”
“Oh, I’m sure you will be!” you called back in response, waving as Oswald simply scowled at you.
Oswald hated how he still returned to visit you every week. He hated that smug smile that was painted across your expression the minute he stepped inside the bakery, your sarcastic remarks, your intoxicating laugh.
And he absolutely hated how irresistible you were.
For the most part, Oswald kept a distance from you. Partly because he refused to accept he had fallen for you, ignoring the blossoming feelings he felt for you in the back of his brain. The other part of him feared what would happen to you if he let you in, let you too close. Oswald felt like he had already risked putting you in danger simply by visiting you so often, for purposes obviously other than work.
What Oswald didn’t know was that you had already been threatened by a handful of Oswald’s enemies, yet no one had actually moved to attack you. You had left your past behind, but it didn’t mean the whispers had disappeared. The tiny mentions of what you were capable spread amongst the crowds, warning them to stay away.
The whispers obviously didn’t reach one group, a gang leader who had butted heads with Oswald constantly. Word quickly spread of Oswald’s new companion, the young man in the local bakery, and the leader knew this could be used to his advantage. He sent a menacing note, threatening Oswald to hand over the territory he wanted or else he would kill you, and possibly deliver your head to Oswald’s doorstep.
All of Oswald’s current thoughts quickly melted away as he rushed over to the bakery. He couldn’t lose you. If anything, he couldn’t lose you when he hadn’t even confessed to you that maybe he didn’t hate you, but he actually liked you a lot. He had rounded up his best hitmen, armed with the biggest guns Oswald had stored, Oswald holding a massive shotgun himself. He burst into the bakery, gun cocked as he spun around, anger burning behind his eyes before he registered the scene.
“What… what?” Oswald spluttered, looking around the room which you were calmly cleaning. Three bodies were sprawled across the floor, with three guns neatly lined up on the countertop behind you. You sighed, wiping blood off your hands onto your apron as you continued to mop the bloodied floors. You looked up at Oswald in such a casual manner Oswald almost forgot about the bodies on the floor.
“Hey, Os.” you greeted, giving him a playful salute as Oswald’s hitmen looked amongst each other, clearly confused.
Stepping closer, Oswald pointed to the bodies as he slowly asked, “Did you kill them all yourself?”
Your gaze fell to the floor, before you shrugged. “Yeah. They’re just hired muscle, anyway, wasn’t hard to defeat them. The hard part is cleaning up all the damn blood. I’ve been mopping up for hou-”
“I care about you.” Oswald cut you off, hands balled into fists, unable to listen to your nonchalant ramblings without interjecting with his confession. The words came out clumsily, but Oswald didn’t know how else to express himself. You grinned, raising your eyebrows at Oswald as you bit your lip. Sucking in a sharp breath, Oswald stepped closer as he continued, “And when I say care, I don’t mean that in a-”
“It’s okay.” you raised your hand, saving Oswald from any further awkwardness as he tried to elaborate his feelings. “I know how you feel, because I feel the same way. Man, that sounds cheesy.”
Oswald’s mouth dropped agape, studying your expression to make sure you were sincere. He gulped, as you leaned closer and added, “So, what do you say? Can I take you out to dinner tonight?”
“You…” Oswald pointed a finger at you, laughing slightly as he shook his head. This whole situation seemed so ridiculous, and Oswald had a hard time comprehending you were asking him out on your first date at the scene of a murder. “Are infuriating. But yes, I will accept your offer for dinner.”
“Great.” you winked at Oswald, before leaning back and surveying the room. Sheepishly, you added, “Do you think you can help out? You know, before the GCPD arrive and all that.”
Nodding, Oswald gestured at his hitmen behind him. “Well? Don’t just stand around there, help y/n clean this mess up!”

friends to lovers!ten
prompt: how about a scenario in which the reader enters a convenience store, late night, wearing super fancy clothes and ten works in this store and they talk and sparks fly and there's a little bit of angst but lots of fluff?
Tumblr media
okay well so this request immediately made me think of that ten gif where he is wearing those pajama pants nd the black sweater
y'all KNOW the one
i found it and added it ^^
but that outfit comes in a lot later in this scenario so we'll skip it for now
okay so the setting is prom
nd the most popular boy in school asked you so you bought this super fancy dress and wore your nicest heals and jewelry
you even wore fake eyelashes like you wanted to look n i c e
bc you're not very popular in school and you thought your senior year would've gone unnoticed by everyone
but the cutest (*´꒳`*) boy in school asked YOU out and so ofc you accepted
but :(((
unfortunately :(((
said cute boy had only asked you out as a bet
and . . . it hurt
bc you had your insecurities but you thought that for once someone had just seen you for you and had fallen in love w you
or at least liked you like you obv don't think someone has to love you in highschool
it'd be nice tho :'—(
anyway so when you find out (you had heard some girls whispering abt it in the stalls) you left as soon as you could
the popular dude had been your ride
so you called your mom and asked her to pick you up at the convinience store near the school
partly bc you didn't want to stay at that school any longer
but mostly bc you were craving some spicy noodles
you pull off your heels and walk over to the convenience store, smiling softly at the worker at the counter
he looked bored before you walked in, his chin resting on his palm
but when you came in he was all business like suddenly he was standing up straight w a charming smile
"hello i'm ten! let me know if you need any help!"
his eyes trail down your body and his eyebrows lift "oh! were you just at prom? did you have fun?"
you shook your head solemnly
"i went but . . . i didn't have much fun."
"oh" ten frowns before brightening up again "well you look pretty."
"thanks"
you feel a little flustered at his words, since he sounds so genuine
"um— i'm gonna buy noodles now,,,,,"
nd you probably scurry away from him as quick as you can bc you already feel humiliated
like the only thing left is to have a crush on the convenience store worker just bc he called you pretty
you snatch your favorite brand of noodles and go over to the lil station, pouring the boiling water into the bowl before heading back to the counter
you pay for the noodles, and when ten hands you back your change his fingers brush your palm and you're just
blushing aGAin
you plan to eat the noodles outside bc there's no way you're going to stay in the store
but ten kinda leans over and asks
"can i eat w you? my break is soon and since you’re the only customer . . . would it be okay?"
his cheeks are kinda pink as he asks, and his eyes are avoiding your gaze as he stares at a soda stain left on the counter
u rlly don't wanna say yes
bc you just want to be alone in your misery
but also ... he looks so nervous you rlly didn't have the heart to reject him
"sure. but let's eat outside."
suddenly he gets the bRiGhTeSt smile on his face!!!! and he's like just let me make some hot chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you actually have no idea how lonely ten is
esp tonight bc he had to take a shift at the gas station while his school had prom
and of course he wanted to go bc prom is like the one time you can dance and no one makes fun of you for it
but his boss would not let him take his shift off so :(
and he doesn't think you know him bc the two of you are in completely different social groups
he is on the dance team and participates in musical theater
you are on the swim team and spend any other time in the library
ten knows you bc he thinks you're really cute :,,,,)
and he was going to ask you to prom
but
in the locker room after gym he overheard one of the popular boys talk abt bringing you and he knew he couldn't compete
so he never asked
fate must've intervened and brought you to him, so he took advantage of the situation and asked to eat with you
you're already eating when he arrives w his hot coco and a cup of noodles
it's an odd combination but you don't criticize it
"so, y/n, what brings you to my humble workplace?"
you narrow your eyes "you know me?"
"we go to the same school," ten answers, and he can see the obvious awkwardness in your eyes bc you genuinely don't recognize him "it's okay, we aren't friends or anything. i just know you bc you're on the swim team and my friend doyoung is the captain."
"ah! doyoung!" you say, thinking of your captain who always nags you to keep up your fitness regime. you wonder what he would say if he saw you with a sodium-packed cup of noodles
"he's annoying. nags too much."
ten laughs, and it's chirpy and bright and so wonderful that you find yourself leaning in to hear it more clearly
"he's always been like that," ten supplies, "he didn't even want mark or donghyuck to go to prom tonight bc he was afraid someone would spike the punch bowl"
"i think i saw that yuta kid pouring some tequila in it earlier."
the two of you compare nagging mom!doyoung stories before ten brings up the elephant in the room
"so why are you here, and not at prom?"
"oh. well I found out i was asked on a bet. something like who could bring the biggest loser as their prom date or something. i didn't stay around for the details."
ten is mad. you can't see it, bc he's rlly good at hiding his anger
but his jaw is clenched and his fists are going full arthur meme under the table
he just doesn't understand why someone would do that to anyone, let alone the person he liked the most in school
you don't even seem that bothered by it anymore, having gotten your noodles and disposed of your fake eyelashes and heels
(you save the eyelashes for another use tho obv those things are expensive)
and ten kinda has the urge to ask you to go to prom with him
it must have an hour left, and he could close up the store early (even if he would have to hear from his boss the next day)
but you could get the prom you wanted, and he could dance beside the prettiest girl in the room
"hey, y/n?"
you don't hear him, because a minivan is pulling into the parking lot, and you're already walking towards it. "I'll see you at school, ten! thanks for hanging out w me!"
"oh. no problem!" he gives you a wave and a halfhearted smile before turning around to clean everything up and return to his shift
he's very sad that he missed out on his opportunity w you
fast forward >>>>>>>>>>
two weeks later, and you're cramming for final exams while simultaniously training for the last swim meet of the year
and you're v v busy
but also you just want a break
and doyoung has had the whole team on a no carb diet bc he wants everyone to have suburb energy burned by vegetables alone
and all you're craving are some spicy noodles from the convienice store
you also kind of want to see ten again
ever since prom night you've noticed him around school and your heart gives a lil stir every time he sends you a smile or tiny wave
bc he's so cute :(
and you can't believe you haven't noticed him before :/
but at least you know him now :)
so anyway you decide to visit the store he works at in the hopes of gaining enough energy to be able to finish studying for your finals
you also rlly want ten to be there bc you highkey want to ask him on a date
bc he’s rlly cute and he was so kind to you that he just makes your heart go zoooooOOOoOoOOOoommmmmMMMMmm
so you go completely dressed down compared to last time 
like your hair isn't even brushed lololol
when you arrive,,, ten isn't there :(
instead it’s this old guy behind the counter and he kind of sneers at you before going back to watching the lq tv in the corner
although it sucks that ten isn't there, you go to the back to find the same instant noodles you found last time
and low and behold!!!!
i bet you guys cant guess what happens next bc this is so unpredictable ;)
ten is there!!!
this is where the gif comes in bc he’s dressed in his pajamas too with an oversized sweater and messy hair that brushes over his eyes and U DNjkzwbfjdjfbbfjewbfe you gET it
“ten?”
he jerks around from looking at a packaged cheese danish (you KNOW he would don't argue w me!)
“y/n?” his smile grOWS “what’re you doing here?”
you shrug “i came for snacks..... and maybe you”
“me??” and ten is blushing !!! bc his crush is looking for him!!!! 
“well.... you found me”
“yeah...” you don't really know what to do next, so you just hold up the cup of noodles,, “do you wanna ... idk ... eat w me?”
a cheeky smile appears on ten’s face and he just kind of asks,,, “is this a date, y/n?”
“idk do you want it to be?”
“tbh yeah”
“yay bc me too”
yall are just two cuties who like eating together outside of the convenience store
nd when you have your swim meet ten is the loudest cheerer in the crowd
when your team wins he runs up and kisses you in front of everyone!!!! bc he’s extra!!!! nd doyoung chides him for it bc you have to go get your award but ten doesn't care!!!!
anyway yeah that's friends to lovers ten
:’)

Don’t I Know You From Somewhere?
PD 101 / YH's Justin X Reader [ fem ]

And my Yuehua boys ?? Yes ?? Bless them ?? Freaking adorable Euiwoong and Hyungseob and Jonghyun was a judge hoW CUTE gOD BLESS anyways, hope you like this anon, even if I modified it a little ok but am i the only one who goes soft for China line im so soft for Jung Jung. I love Jung Jung so much. might make a part two for this as well as • Crushing On You - Kang Daniel drop me feedback - admin L __________ Justin could barely contain his excitement as he clutched tightly onto his copy of your second mini album, shuffling in his spot in the queue. The entire venue was packed, fans buzzed with joy and the energy in the atmosphere was insane. Today was the day that Justin had waited for his entire life as a fan of yours. Today was the day of your fansign. When your fansign was announced, he screamed so loudly the whole Yuehua building trembled. Then, he proceeded to beg his manager to allow him to go. It was tough since he was set to participate in the survival show, Produce 101 a few weeks after but he sweet talked his way through. Once he got the 'okay' from his company, he managed to wrangle his best friend and fellow trainee, Zheng Ting to accompany him. Zheng Ting now stood behind Justin with pink cheeks, mildly embarrassed by his best friend's enthusiasm. I suppose it shows how dedicated of a fan he is.....He spent ages picking out his outfit today. I bet that's his $500 Star Wars shirt he was going to save for Produce 101. Justin even visited the salon to re-dye his hair for today. Oh my god. Zheng Ting was downplaying his own elation for his own sanity's benefit. Sure, he wanted to meet such a great inspiration to him but he wasn't a super die hard fan like Justin. Zheng Ting knew that Justin could practically chemically combust from all his zest, his grin was so wide it was sure to hurt. Oblivious to all the judgmental glares from Zheng Ting, Justin continued to keep his exhilaration levels high. His legs couldn't seem to stay still or root him to the floor properly. Even with his height, he still tip-toed to get a better look at you above the crowd. He sighed dreamily when he caught sight of your hair. Oh my god, Y/N looks so pretty today. She's the perfect idol. There's so much to learn from her. I wish she would look at me. Is this love? The expression on his face was so sheepish and dreamy, Zheng Ting nearly slapped him. "Yah, Justin! Wake up! The line is moving," he hissed. It was entertaining to see the maknae so incredibly spellbound by someone. 
The snaking queue moved listlessly and Justin's patience was running thin. To fuel his energy into something else so that he won't be all jittery, he combed through your photo cards that were included in your mini album, taking them out and reassembling them multiple times. People around him stared at him like he was a lunatic but really, he couldn't care less. Justin clamped a hand over his mouth to cover his yawn, he secretly regretted waking up at the crack of dawn, forcing Zheng Ting to drive them an hour out to the venue at five am and sitting in the queue since seven am. He was lucky he managed to sneak in breakfast and breath mints. Dedications of a fan. He huffed and shuffled along as the line gradually started to move. At least he was getting close to you. ... "Hello, Y/N. How was today's fansign? Everything okay?" Your manager asked, scribbling whatever feedback there was from other staff on her notepad. "Hmm, it went well. Thank you for arranging it. I was happy to be there. But right now, I want to sleep," you admitted with a small groan. Thankfully, your manager was an understanding and kind one, you two got along super well much to everyone's surprise. She laughed and nodded, telling the driver to speed up a little. "Go ahead and sleep. I'll wake you when we reach." Truthfully, you were exhausted but your mind was plagued with thoughts of that handsome blonde fanboy at the fansign. His happiness was infectious, it put a smile on your face when you admired how his curls bounced with that skip in his step. You managed to catch his name, Justin, and you remembered exactly what had happened. It was rare you remembered everything word for word but something compelled you to. He had politely waited until the previous fan had stepped off the stage then, practically dashed up the stairs two at a time. He had run a hand through his curls before blurting out an excited 'Hello!' and bowing, nearly bumping his head on the table. As if he was ashamed, he used his right hand to cover his mouth and the other to pass you his bag of gifts and album. You had asked for his name which he gladly revealed. "I'm Justin." He beamed, revealing perfect pearly whites. "Well, thank you for the letter and the gifts Justin," you had said, shooting him your best cover-worthy smile. Justin couldn't be that much older than you. "You're very handsome." His face had turned beet red and he managed to stammer out a reply before nearly tripping on his way down from the stage. He was the most put together mess of a boy you had ever seen and somehow, you were attracted. It was rare you had male fans your age, cute ones at that. But, he was just fan, a face in the crowd you would have to force yourself to forget. You let out an irritated sigh, wishing it didn't need to be limited by its circumstances. Oh why, why couldn't I have gotten Justin's number or something? All I have is a name and a face I would hate to let go. It was safe to say sleep didn't come easy that night despite how worn out you were by the day's activities. You tossed and turned in your blanket, unable to block that blonde boy from your mind. Maybe it did you a favour by lulling you into a deep sleep and as creepy as it sounds, a dream of him. ... Justin was partially gone from your mind a month later but this morning, you could barely keep your eyes open as stylists bustled about, brushing your hair and whatnot, so once again, you found yourself thinking about him. You wondered what he was up to. Perhaps he was leading a normal teenage life. Going to school. Hanging out at the mall with his friends. All the regular, domestic things. A part of you was envious if he indeed had that kind of lifestyle. Today is going to be sooooo tiring. I just hope nothing terrible happens. Today was the day you were guesting on the survival show, Produce 101 Season 2. A few of your friends had participated in season 1 but so far, you hadn't heard from anyone about the second season. It was only the first week anyway, only one episode had aired but you were too busy to even watch teasers of it. Your role was simple, throughout the next week, you were going to support and supposedly mentor a couple of lower ranked teams as they prepared for their stages. It was a good opportunity for exposure and to make new friends. From what you had seen - or lack of since your van had pulled up to the location at six in the morning - all the contestants seemed to be pleasant. The plan was that you were surprising them with a wakeup call and a special buffet breakfast. ( bc i must feed my boys that's why let me live ) You hoped the directors knew what they were doing. "Y/N? Y/N." Manager unnie's voice shook you from your nap, you blinked bleary-eyed at her. She patted your head and helped you to your feet. "Go wash your face or something. Filming will begin soon." You complied, glad that the long-lasting stage makeup was sealed with a waterproof spray. After refreshing, you swiftly changed into your shooting outfit and followed a bunch of crew members to the dining hall. There, another team was busily preparing the surprise breakfast, probably the most the boys were allowed to eat. ( let them eat properly pls ) You stifled laughs when your mini album blasted through the speakers as an alarm. It could become pretty hilarious to hear your own music in public. When the main director signalled your cue, you raised the microphone - which was connected to the speakers - to your lips and delivered the message in a sickeningly sugary voice. "Good morning to all the gorgeous Produce 101 Season 2 contestants. This is not a drill. Please assemble in the dining hall in half an hour. Failure to comply will result in elimination. I repeat this is not a drill. Please assemble in the dining hall in half an hour. Failure to comply will result in elimination." The last part was a lie. No one would be going home on your watch. ... Oh my god. Is that Y/N's voice? Is that her album? How sweet of her to appear in my dreams. "Justin! Justin! Wake up!" What? Why is she calling me? A pillow smacked his face. "Yah! Justin! Wake up!" Justin shot up, rubbing the sleepiness away from his eyes. He blinked at his roommates. "Why? What is it?" They didn't need to reply as the announcement sounded again. "Attention all Produce 101 Season 2 contestants, good morning! This is not a drill, please assemble in the dining hall in twenty minutes. Failure to comply will result in elimination." His jaw dropped, almost hitting the bottom bunk. "Is-is-is that Y-Y/N sunbaenim?" He stuttered out his question. "Yes! So that is why we need to hurry!" That was all it took. He washed up in a matter of twenty seconds and changed into his best outfit in five. Justin grabbed his training things out of his suitcase and bolted to the dining hall as fast as his legs would carry him, his roommates trailing behind. He needed to see with his own two eyes that it was really you. It was so crowded he was already pushed back to the end of the crowd. Somehow, Euiwoong and Seunghyuk found him, they called for Hyungseob and Zheng Ting to come over. "Is it her? Is it really Y/N?" He asked, lips trembling. Zheng Ting nodded, star-struck. Euiwoong had to hold Justin up to prevent his legs from giving way. He almost started sobbing. Does she remember me? I hope she does. He thought hopefully before sighing in realisation. No, there's no way she would have remembered someone as insignificant as me. Once everyone had arrived, you introduced yourself and explained your arrival. There were yells of jubilation and cheers. Some of the boy's jaws hung open and they had a hand over their mouths. It made you smile and amp up. Justin listened in awe to your motivational speech, he was in a daze the whole time as his friends led him to their usual table. Then, he noticed you were walking around and greeting some of the other boys. He scrambled to grab Euiwoong's arm across the table, almost making his hyung topple his tray of food. "Yah! Justin, are you okay?" Euiwoong was puzzled by his sudden behaviour. Justin frantically shot questions at him. "Is my hair okay?" "Do I smell good?" "How does my sweater look? Cute enough?" Euiwoong rolled his eyes and spooned some rice into Justin's mouth to make him shut up. "You look fine. I bet everyone else is worried about their appearance too. Full offence, these uniforms look awful," he said in a hushed tone. Justin fussed with his hair even more. Meanwhile, you too grabbed a tray and marched around the dining hall with your manager by your side, scanning for a place to sit. Suddenly, you spotted a familiar tuft of blonde hair. Justin? Oh my god, Y/N! Stop being delusional. Stop relating everything back to that......... fan. But your pace quickened as you approached his table, partially because he reminded you a lot of your long time crush who you would most likely never see again. As you neared, his face became more clear and you gasped. Even though the first and supposedly last time you saw him was a month ago, you still could recall what his face looked like. There was no mistaking that this trainee was Justin. Is the boy sitting next to him Zheng Ting? I met him too. It was cute to see Justin brushing his hair repeatedly with his hands. He whined when it still stuck out in different directions, the other participants sitting next to him only made fun of him. Should I address them formally? Are we friends? What if he is older than me? How do I call him? Oh my god, I don't want to be rude. These thoughts filled your head as you drew closer, palms growing all the more clammy. 'Oppa' isn't rude right? ( lmao guys this is such a koreaboo thing for me to add in my works but tbh i just didn't want to sound rude ??? and more realistic, not so Americanised but pls tell me what I should do. I don't want to offend anyone out here ) Should I call him that? I bet Zheng Ting is older though? What if I offend them? Do you want to sit with them or not? Another voice piped up. Yes, but- Just go! It gave you a push which pulled yourself together. Like the confident idol you are, you strutted up to the Yuehua boy's table, showing off your perfectly sculpted legs in the process, and tapped Justin on the shoulder. He spun round to face you and when he realised it was you, his jaw hung open and large eyes grew bigger. "Hi, Justin oppa, do you remember me?" You asked, beaming brightly. Justin was so shocked he couldn't form a coherent sentence. "The world would end if Justin forgot who Y/N is. He is your number one fan. Believe me, his wall in our dorm back at the company is filled with your posters. If-" Seunghyuk was abruptly cut off with a desperate yell from Justin. Zheng Ting shoved another spoonful of rice into his maknae's mouth. "You haven't eaten a thing on your tray." "Hello, Jung Jung oppa, I believe we met too." You bowed out of respect and Justin nearly fell on his knees. "Ahh, it's okay! Sunbaenim!" Gesturing to your tray, you asked if you could sit with them for breakfast. Seunghyuk moved over to sit next to Hyungseob which created a space next to Justin. The boy went red when you slid into the seat next to him, accidentally bumping his arm. "Sorry! I'm sorry!" You exclaimed but he assured you he was fine. Regardless, you grabbed his arm and ran your hand over it. "Are you sure? You can't get hurt!" He couldn't even utter words. Should I? Whatever, I should. You took his arm and slung it over your shoulders before turning back to him, a sultry ( keep it PG you're both kids ) smile on your lips. "Don't I know you from somewhere?" Justin cleared his throat and suddenly adopted a blank expression. "My girlfriend is here today." No...... He held up his - well Euiwoong's pocket mirror - to your face. You burst into a fit of giggles. "Nice one, Justin. I knew I could recognise you." Sigh, let's see what happens during this short time of filming. ( this is so bittersweet i’m sorry )
