#yes i’m making chemistry jokes on main

August, if you ever wonder if some of your readership would like to hear your thoughts about Buggy and Reader in a poly relationship with either crossguild or Shuggy… WELP. There’s at least one.
I just want that clown to smooch me and also several other men who may or may not scare the shit out of him or incite deep feelings of rage in him. He’s very smoochable and I’m willing to share (and I just like to think about the added hilarity with any of these characters still in the picture)
omgggg yes!! I deeply adore the dynamics of all those relationships. The clown is just so...adaptable? Blendable? Sharable? Adorable.
I do have some Shanks x Buggy x Reader headcanons to share!
But first, for Cross Guild x Reader needs, I so strongly recommend @discordantwritings stories here (I'm pretty sure Our Precious Assistant Pt 2 changed my brain chemistry) and @turtletaubwrites' Numbers Game, which just started and is so good already. ❤️❤️❤️
Nowwww, let's talk Shuggy x Reader.
Word count: ~1.2k Warnings: NSFW, MDNI, shanks x buggy x GN!reader, mix of fluffy and smutty thoughts, teasing, oral reader + m receiving, insertion sex, threesome, some praise, sorry for anything that's extremely ooc

Date Nights
The first time you had a planned date with Shanks, Buggy sailed away so “date night” became “date week.” Buggy was jealous and embarrassed, which you both expected. You were annoyed at first, because this had been planned and discussed, but talking with Shanks calmed you down. This was new territory for all of you and it would take time to navigate. So when Buggy came back, no one made a fuss about it. If anything, you and Shanks were a little softer and a little kinder with the clown. Buggy picked up on the acceptance in your actions and it made him feel better. This also kicked off weekend-long dates, which you all look forward to.
One of your favorite dates with Shanks was when he took you to a town he frequented. The afternoon was spent strolling Main Street and shopping, although that was more of an excuse for Shanks to show you off. The evening ended at a cozy pub where he regaled you with alluring tales. Even though you heard some of them before, listening to him talk puts stars in your eyes. An expression that simply melts him.
Your favorite Buggy date was actually a party on his ship. You two were inseparable the entire night and the highlight was singing along to music at the end of the night. “Singing.” You were both bottles deep and could hardly get full words out, but the (hazy) memory of laughing and giggling your ways through the inebriated performance while holding on to each other always makes you smile. Buggy often catches that particular goofy grin on your face and he just adores it.
Buggy and Shanks also spend time together, which is surprising-not surprising. Buggy might claim that he’s upset with Shanks and needs to go yell at him, or wants to gloat about something. Shanks tries to entice Buggy with the promise of shiny goodies and treasure. Everyone knows it’s a farce, but it’s how they show they care for each other. There’s no denying the sparks in their eyes afterwards.
Petty Arguments
When these two get together, their inner children teens come out in full swing. And so do the jokes and petty arguments.
Shanks messes with Buggy any chance he gets. Teasing comments, swapping his nearly empty drink with Buggy’s fuller glass, dumb jokes.
He’ll also tease you, but in the form of cheesy pick-up lines. “If I could rearrange the alphabet, I'd put U and I together.” “I was feeling a little off today, but you've turned me on again.” “Did you do something to my eyes? I can't seem to take them off you.”
Buggy can’t stand when your attention is on Shanks for too long, so he’ll try and out-do the other pirate. He has a repertoire of card drinks and sleight of hands, which often do the trick.
Shanks knows what Buggy is doing and teases him. “I know you’re a performer, but there’s no need to make a scene.” Buggy didn’t like that one.
There was the one time Buggy challenged Shanks to a juggling challenge. When Shanks declined, Buggy was ready with his own comeback. “It’s not because of the arm, it’s because he doesn’t have the balls.” Surprisingly, that spurred Shanks into joining the 2-man competition.
Speaking of being competitive…
Sex with them individually is nothing like having sex all together.
At first, you were often at the mercy of the two men who were intent on proving how well they could pleasure you. Once, they wanted to see who was better at oral and could make you cum the most times. The more orgasms you had, the less lucid you became and the competition turned into finding out who would you beg to fuck you. Even though the countless orgasms emptied your head, you remembered that this all started with oral and you didn’t want to mess with the rules of their contest. When they realized you were trying so hard not to whine and ask for their dicks, they started asking you. - “Baby, want me to fuck you? C’mon, don’t you want to feel this inside you?” - “You look so good on my tongue, but you’d look better on my cock. Tell me you want it.”
Unfortunately (fortunately?) there was no clear winner. Buggy was between your legs yet again, with your fingers entwined in his hair and your head was flopped to the side. You said “please, want you inside,” but they couldn’t agree on who you were talking to. Shanks is adamant that you were looking at him, but Buggy calls bullshit and claims you were talking to him because he was the one making you feel good.
There are sessions where you and Shanks focus more on Buggy. It took a lot of time for Buggy to feel relaxed enough to accept the attention, but you two wore him down and won him over. He’ll rarely admit it, but Buggy loves being sandwiched between you and Shanks. The feeling of sinking his cock into you while he’s stretched around Shanks is so overwhelmingly delicious that Buggy gets greedy. He can’t get enough of moving his hips so he can fuck you and fuck himself on Shanks’ cock. The sweet moans and whimpers he releases are intoxicating. Buggy’s often the first to cum in this position, but Shanks will continue to fuck you through Buggy, knowing how to maneuver Buggy’s hips and thrust until you climax.
In turn, there are the moments where you and Buggy cater to Shanks. He never gets tired of watching you and Buggy fight to suck his leaking cock. The way you struggle to throat his member while Buggy focuses on smearing his face paint on Shanks’ thighs and balls through sloppy kisses is a vision that gets Shanks hard at a moment’s notice. Buggy’s attention is fierce and demanding - he’s trying to unravel Shanks entirely. It's a power trip thing. Whereas you balance that heat with restrained touches. When Shanks cums in your mouth, you always share with Buggy and make sure to show Shanks that you both swallowed his entire load. Seeing you hold Buggy by his hair and squeezing the clown's cheeks to present his empty mouth is a sinfully beautiful encore.
Your favorite times are the ones where you get to spoil Shanks and Buggy. You tend and care to their needs. Your gentleness wipes away their fierce competitive streaks. You make sure that you give them both a surplus of attention and shower them with desire. If you’re riding or under one, your hands and eyes are on the other. You pour praise and compliments until they’re overflowing. And the way it overflows is music to your ears. They turn the praise to you and to each other. - “You look amazing on Buggy’s cock.” - “Get on Shanks and make him feel good, I wanna see that sweet face you make.” - “Pretty thing, you’re taking him so well.” - “Good job, you know how to make him moan so loud.” - “You’re going to make him cum, keep going.”
The cuddles after these sessions? Heavenly. Amazing. Buggy, who normally takes up the entire bed, sleeps so peacefully when you and Shanks are on either side of him. Sometimes, when Buggy passes out first, you’ll claim the middle spot and wake up to the two pirates wrapped around you. It’s a little sweaty and a lot comforting.

Kripke is so over the top in the way he praises Jensen. It’s just cringe at this point. If he was “such a movie star” then he would be in movies. He isn’t. So he’s not. Jensen is going to become like Fetch very soon, he is so over hyped and over publicized that people who don’t know him from SPN (and some who do) are going to start saying, “stop trying to make Jensen happen. He’s never going to happen!" out of sheer annoyance from seeing his name.
It’s the SPN tell rather than show problem all over again. Just as Cass and Dean are called best friends, while they mostly just bitch at each other, Jensen is talked up as the if he is the best in the world. Trust me bro! Yet, he can’t hold his own well with Karl Urban and Anthony Starr who are fantastic on TB, yet Kripke puts all of his attention on Jensen. It’s so obnoxious. And I’m sure the main cast members just love it.
Yes, I think the guy often has good chemistry on screen, but I don’t find him that good in interviews and things like that. I remember watching a few when he was doing his rounds for the boys. And I remember thinking a lot of his jokes or comments hit awkward or fell kind of flat. Maybe he was just nervous or maybe he doesn’t play as well off of people who aren’t the SPN crew, or he’s used to having AAs in his audience who pee themselves when he says literally anything, but I wasn’t that impressed.
Also, I wouldn’t brag about Kripke and Jensen coming up with Soldier Boy’s cameo dialogue off the cuff if I were K, because it’s not exactly clever. Coming up with swears and insults is not that impressive. And telling someone to “Go F**k your face” is the one of the dumbest things I’ve heard.
The thing is. I actually like Jensen, but the way he’s always singled out and talked up like he’s the second coming puts me off him more and more. It’s so over the top that all I can do is roll my eyes.
Sorry. Rant over.
Oh, I feel ya, Anon. When I read the lines that were said in that cameo, I felt nothing but cringe. Kripke- Jensen too, really- seems to have this obsession with obnoxious, overgrown frat boy behavior and it's ridiculous, IMO.
And, nope, it isn't fair to the other cast members when an obvious fave/teacher's pet is singled out and put up on a pedestal. It just makes the others justifiably resentful. This honestly isn't me trying to knock Jensen. It's just common sense!

is Farscape the sort of thing that takes a few episodes to find its groove? should i be patient if we're not besties right away?
(i'm prone to snap judgements and don't want to make a mistake here)
Ahhhh so Farscape can be a WILDLY interesting study in complete contradictions. I agree with everything Cat Valente says is brilliant about it in this thread and this very long and detailed essay about why you should watch Farscape and yet also I will sit there fast-forwarding great chunks of season one especially because the quality control from episode to episode is so wildly variable. When I say variable, I mean some episodes feel embarrassingly amateur at times, especially after twenty something years of higher budget, vaguely more evolved TV SF. Occasionally it doesn't know what show it's trying to be, or what show it was the previous episode. It has a terrible weakness for bad puns in episode titles. It can be trite. It can feel weirdly childish, for a show that is frequently about aliens fucking. It's really really very silly on occasion and I have a particularly very low tolerance for second hand embarrassment. Farscape can be frequently embarrassing, but the fact I'm still flailing about it after twenty something years despite that is kind of significant.
Because when it's good, it's so incredibly fucking high quality excellent. It's got all the chemistry, all the high stakes heists and the high melodrama sacrifice, all the dealing with grief and trauma and how do you deal with a legacy of repeated genocide and fascism. Everyone is a space criminal on a stolen sentient prison ship. What the fuck even is the greater good. How do you deal with being a parent. Most of the cast are emoting through inch thick layers of foam latex and the other half are wearing fetish gear (OR THEY'RE PUPPETS. OR CGI ORGANIC SENTIENT SPACESHIPS), but they're really fucking good at said emoting and it's still heartbreaking. It's been twenty years and I will still start crying if I so much as hear the season three version of the theme tune (oh god the theme song evolution).
The silly episodes throughout season one are even weirder because it does pretty much find its feet straightaway with the pilot ep - it's snappy and emotional and charming and clever, and yes the tropes are there but the tropes didn't have quite the same level of tired significance back in 1999? I watched that first ep and was cackling over how fucking fantastic it was. It was such a refreshing change in 1999 that it sailed me through any of the occasionally dodgy stuff that followed.
It's also very very... Aussie, which to me covers a lot of the humour and the sheer demented glee of what the creators wanted to run with? The cast has chemistry, in spades, and the characters flirt and fuck (and... one of them is a hot blue zen plant priestess who orgasms in bright light. Obviously.) and everything is just a little bit.. extra. It has an episode where everyone is a loony tunes cartoon. It has an episode inspired by A Clockwork Orange. It has small stabby robots. It's squelchy and makes fart jokes ALL THE TIME (mostly because one of the main puppets is a former emperor who farts helium and okay yep it's pretty funny. The other puppet is wise and kind and troubled and possibly complicit in war crimes. This fucking show I can't even).
...I'm just going to apologise for this essay, and say probably go read the Cat Valente thing because it includes much more key whether you should in fact watch Farscape information such as:
“They’re all gonna be Australian or Kiwi! Except for one guy! It’s basically gonna be a tour of Sydney’s underground club scene, even for the smallest parts! And I mean that, everyone is going to be wearing leather BDSM gear 24/7, even the heroes. I’M TELLIN’ YA WE GOT MAGDA SZUBANSKI! THIS THING IS GOLD! Literally, the whole color palette is like really gold. With most of a Crayola box taped on top of it. SPACE IS AUSTRALIAN NOW. ALL OF IT. DEAL WITH IT.”
there will be an almost unbelievable amount of goo involved. Like if there is a Goo Department, and anyone is left over after Nickelodeon’s job fair last week, we need all the goo.”
“Because of all the sex and violence that just barely doesn’t cross the decency lines we’re still kind of feeling out right now?”
“That, too. But mostly because we need all the makeup and then after we’re done turning regular humans a TON of nutbar colors, everything else is going to be just…dripping. All the time. Just drenched in slime. Good slime, bad slime, it will constantly be hard to say. But it’s like Coco Chanel always said, before you leave the house, look in the mirror and upend a bucket of colorful sludge over your head.”

The Art of Crossed Wires - 7 - The Red Flag
Pairing: Marcus Pike x Female Reader Rating: Teen. Warnings: Swearing Chapter: 7/9 Word count: 2177
Summary: You head out for a date with Agent Monroe, but Marcus is still on your mind.
Note: This has not been beta read, so apologies for any mistakes.
Part Six | Part One | Series Masterpost
Tumblr media
The week passed by with little excitement. Nothing of interest either in the office or out of it happened. The world kept turning, people around you lived their lives, and you focused on keeping your head down at work. There were reports to file, painting to catalogue and inventories to update. All work which, while not the most thrilling, usually kept you distracted from the world around you. But this week, your mind drifted often.
Two things demanded your attention. One was your upcoming date with Agent Garrett Monroe, which, the more you thought about it, the guiltier you felt. You were only going to take your mind off the other issue. The big issue. Agent Marcus Pike.
Every single day during the week, you replayed every interaction the two of you had had. The lunch where he called you beautiful, and you had talked for over an hour about movies. The way he had looked at you whenever you laughed at one of his jokes or played with your hair. You thought about the art gallery and how he had still showered you with attention even though you had been so painfully awkward. You had felt his arm around your shoulders more than once as he guided you toward a particular painting he wanted you to see. Again he had complimented you, joked with you and tried to recreate the easy chemistry from the Thursday lunch. 
And then you had fucked it all up. 
Ok, so he hadn’t thought of it as a date. Fair enough. But there was no denying the flirting. The more you thought about it, the surer you became. The flirtation had been real. Right? 
The flashes of anxiety and doubt still troubled you. Still, you were reasonably sure Marcus had been flirting during lunch by Friday night. The only trouble was that it didn’t mean anything, apparently. According to Garrett, Marcus was a playful flirt. It was his way of being friendly. And considering the news that Marcus was gay, you had definitely read too much into it, and there was only one thing to do. You needed to make it up to him. Again.
As you got ready for your date with Garrett Monroe, putting the finishing touches to your make-up, you were already wracking your brain trying to think of a way to apologise to Marcus for the second time.
~~~~~
Climbing out of the cab, you eyed the restaurant Garrett chose for your date. You had to hand it to him; he had excellent taste. With neat potted plants on either side of the door, the place looked quite classy in a traditional kind of way. There was no outdoor seating, and as you pushed the ornate double doors open, you were greeted with a warmly lit interior. 
The restaurant was divided into three main sections. At the far end was what seemed to be the more intimate seating, as booths with plush-looking leather seating lined the far wall. In the middle of the open space were tables of various sizes able to seat two, four or six diners. The larger tables were closer to the centre. In contrast, the smaller ones for couples lined the area by the windows and the opposite side near the entrance to the kitchen. A smattering of patrons were already seated, some enjoying their food while others were chatting happily. Finally was the entrance area with the host’s station and a long polished bar, at which sat a few couples and one Agent Garrett Monroe.
“Can I help you?” The host smiled at you, looking up from his reservation book.
“Oh, I’m with him.” You pointed at the bar where Garrett was drinking and chatting with the bartender. “We, erm, we have a reservation. Probably under the name of Monroe.”
“Ah, yes.” The host’s smile remained fixed as he nodded. “Give me one moment, and I’ll take you to your table.”
As the host left to prepare your table, you headed over to Garrett, catching the tail end of his conversation as you arrived.
“...and he was just the most terrible singer you’ve ever heard.” Garrett laughed while the bartender gave a polite chuckle. As you approached, the bartender made eye contact and a slight nod.
“What can I get you?”
Garrett turned in his seat, still chortling at his own joke, his eyes lighting up as he looked you up and down. “Hey there!” He said your name as he hopped off the bar stool like an excited kid and reached out to hug you.
“Oh,” You were caught off guard by the hug, and as his arms wrapped around you, the heady, almost woody smell of whisky hit your senses. “Hey there. Am I late?”
“Nope, right on time.” Garrett gave you a lopsided grin as he looked at his watch. “I asked the guy for a good table.” He pointed to the approaching host, who politely led you to your table by the windows.
Garrett held your chair for you, and after the host gave you the menus, the two of you sat silently for a couple of seconds. Already skimming the menu, Garrett looked up at you and smiled broadly.
“You’re so quiet.” He mused, cocking his head at you like you were a curious thing to him. “I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like it. I’ve been out with so many girls who talked all the time. They just didn’t know when to shut up.”
The comment made your stomach drop ever so slightly. You opened your mouth to answer but closed it again. 
"The food here is great. Only good thing about the last date I was on. I'd never heard of this place before, you know? She booked it, but they have the best steak." Garrett continued. "You should have the steak, baby. The crazy I came here with only ate salad. That should have been a warnin’ sign." He laughed.
“Baby?” You narrowed your eyes at the sudden pet name, but he didn’t hear you as he silently laughed at his ‘funny’ comment. You were suddenly getting flashbacks to a blind date you’d been on three years ago when your friend had set you up with her brother. It had been a disaster with him giving backhanded compliments and eventually ignoring you in favour of his phone.
Garrett had seemed so charming at work, but right now was giving such bad vibes it made you want to run. Perhaps he’d already had a little too much to drink, you tried to reason. Drinking on an empty stomach was always a bad idea. Probably his nerves. He’d probably be better once he had some food in him. Probably.
"You know,” He mused, smiling at you. “You don't look like any of the girls I usually go on dates with."
“I don’t?” You couldn’t help but frown at the statement as Garrett nodded, obviously to your discomfort. “You don’t have a type, then?”
“Well,” He took a deep breath to begin his answer. “Usually-”
“Are you ready to order?” You had never been so relieved to see a waiter in your entire life as the young man stepped up to the table, pad in hand.
“Yup.” Garrett held the menu out to the waiter. “Steak, rare for me, and she’ll have-”
“Erm, I think I’ll have-”
“She’ll have the steak too.” Garrett interrupted, and your head shot up from the menu. Was he seriously ordering for you?
“How would you like your steak, ma’am?” The waiter paused, taking the order, and glanced at you.
“I’ll have the risotto, actually.” You forced a smile.
“I told you the steak is great here.” Garrett fixed you with a hard, unblinking stare, then turned to the waiter. “She’ll have the steak, do it medium.”
You had to feel for the waiter as he glanced between you. Garrett held the menu out for the waiter as though the issue was settled. You clenched your jaw and took a deep breath.
“No. I’ll have the risotto.” You handed your menu to the poor waiter. “Thank you.”
The young man nodded and, with a quiet “I’ll get that right to you”, practically ran away.
You could feel Garrett’s eyes on you as you turned back to him. His mouth was set into an unhappy line, and one hand gripped the table.
As you watched your date glaring at you, you started to think of excuses to leave. This clearly was a bad idea. Even if it was just the drink, his behaviour so far had been atrocious. The restaurant was beginning to fill up more as more couples arrived for their Friday dates, and you were grateful for the distracted as you people-watched and contemplated your escape. 
An older man, probably in his late sixties, arrived with a young woman on his arm who couldn’t have been older than twenty. She smiled and laughed, planting a kiss on his cheek while he beamed. Three middle-aged women roared with laughter at a rude joke two tables over, making the family on the table between you jump in surprise but chuckle. Two men, arm in arm, were guided to their seats, both looking at each other with the kind of affection you could only dream of. A smartly dressed man arrived with a beautiful woman… wait! You knew that man.
Stepping into the restaurant and waiting patiently at the host’s station, next to a stunning brunette was Marcus Pike. Your heart sank. He smiled and chatted happily with the woman, who threw her head back as she laughed at his joke. As the host returned, you could feel your heart speeding up, almost thumping out of your chest as you scanned the restaurant for empty tables. Most of the ones around you and Garrett were either filled or meant for larger parties, but all the two-seaters on the opposite wall were full now. 
Craning around in your seat, you eyed the booths, the heart almost stopping as you saw the very end one. It was empty with much shorter seats, obviously meant to seat just two people. That meant Marcus and his date would be walking right passed you.
“Ok, so let's not make a big deal about the food thing.” Garrett began out of nowhere, and you snapped your head around to face him. “We can still have a good time.”
“Uh-huh.” You didn’t have the concentration or energy to argue right now. Marcus was already nodding to the host and heading toward your table.
Garrett scowled and turned in his seat, following your eye line before turning back to you. “Huh, guess I was wrong. Guess he’s into chicks after all.” He smirked.
Time seemed to slow as Marcus and his date walked closer. With each step, you were praying he wouldn’t notice you. Holding your breath, you looked down at your hands, fidgeting with your fingers and only peeking up to keep an eye on the approaching couple.
Then it happened. Marcus’ eyes locked with yours. He was only a foot away from Garrett, and as he saw you, you watched as his eyes flickered to your companion.
“Boss.” Garrett gave a nod and a satisfied smile as Marcus passed.
Marcus looked crestfallen and gave you one final despondent look before leaving your field of view. One step behind him, the woman eyed you and Garrett with concern and mistrust.
You could feel tears threatening to form as you fixed your gaze out the window, desperately trying to focus on the traffic passing by. You concentrated on counting your breaths as the world returned to normal speed.
“Hey, after we eat, why don't we skip going for drinks?” You looked over to find Garrett staring at your chest. “I mean, we're gonna be drinkin' through our meal, right? We don't wanna get so shit-face we can't get to dancin’. You know?” He bounced his eyebrows suggestively. 
It took everything you had not to just stand up and scream at him. His true colours were entirely on display. You couldn’t believe you’d been so naive. Garrett was a dick. Plain and simple. There was only one thing he wanted from you, and he’d lied to get it. Clearly, Marcus was into women. Clearly, he had been into you, perhaps not as much as you’d liked, but it was a far cry from the impression Garrett had given you.
“I’m going to head home.” You said finally, your voice shaking slightly.
“Seriously?” Garrett quirked an eyebrow, seemingly amused at you.
“Yeah.” You stood up and stepped towards the exit. “This isn’t working out, so let's not waste each other's time.”
Garrett was right behind you as you arrived at the main doors, the host looking at you, puzzled. 
“Are you fucking serious?” Garrett hissed, grabbing your elbow gently. “We’ve already ordered. At least stay for the food.”
“I’m sure they’ll cancel my order if you explain.” You looked at his hand holding you, and he let go. “See you at work Agent Monroe.”

Rating bl shows as I watch them. Part 2
I’m back with another mass review post! None of these did not wow me. (except for Moonlight Chicken, duh)
Kissable Lips
I guess I was too traumatized after the ending to remember to put this in the 1st review post because I technically watched this after to my star so. . . . 2/10 and thats all i want to say.
Star in My Mind
7.5/10
All in all, I liked this one…. Prolly cause I’m biased when it comes to Joong and Dunk but yeah, decent little show.
Moonlight Chicken
10/10
HANDSDOWN the best opening part 1 I've ever seen!! Like talk about getting sucked in. 😲 I have no complaints about this show. It's beautifully written. A masterpiece. Show of the year. I cried and then I cried some more. I loved all the characters, even Alan. The dialogue was so nice and natural. It did not feel like I was watching actors play characters. It felt like I was watching real people going through real-life problems, like these characters seemed so real, so hats off to all the actors and the creators. Some really nice quotes here and there that are definitely making a home in my quote book. I can't say enough about this one. If you have not watched it and love beautiful cinema, do yourself a favor and watch this immediately.
2gether (just the 1st part)
4/10
I went in to this expecting greatness because of it’s popularity but….It was alright I guess. I was cringing thru most of it tho. There were moments where I was thinking to myself, how is this a popular series? What made it go viral? Honestly I did like some aspects like how Type ended up being Tine’s bro and how the main couples relationship progresses, tho I do feel like they moved in together too quickly. I also wished they would have done more with the brother plotline like idk actually have them interact for more than 2 eps. . . . The way they transitioned scenes kept throwing me off with how fast fowarding it felt.
I think the number one thing I hated was how you never really hear them play music. The scene always starts right after theyve finished except for Tine’s song in the end.
And I think the number one thing I liked was Tine and the actor who played him.
Fish Upon the Sky
5/10
While this show had its moments that made it enjoyable: the brother bond between Pi and Duean, Duean and Meen’s scenes, the kitty gang crew in general, Duean and Pi in general, the way scenes were shot and edited. . . But Mork pissed me off more often than not. He pissed me off every time he disrespected Pi’s boundaries and didn’t listen to him. To me, he only cared about getting the end game he wanted: to be in a relationship with Pi. Yes, I do think he cared about Pi, but at times it seemed like he was the one obsessed. I think if he had spent a little more time trying to be just friends with Pi, it would’ve helped with Pi’s insecurities towards the relationship more and gain Pi’s trust more.
Some points I hated in this show: the fat jokes, and what they did with Bam. I was really hoping she was going to be a good friend for the 2 and a wingman to Mork. Why did they have to make her secretly like Mork and for her to hurt Pi by posting those pics? Just why. And most of all, the shippers. This show would have been 10 times better if they could have just done away with the whole shipper aspect.
I said I what I said. 😤
Edit: Forgot to include this: all this being said I do think Pondphuwin’s chemistry together was great! I can see why people like this pair.
All in all, the only 2 I’d possibly rewatch are MC and Star in my Mind. Also after watching FUTS, I’ve come to realize I LOVE brother bonds. If anyone knows other series with great sibling bonds like in FUTS, please tell me. I beg.

I always stay far away from m/f shippers (from any fandom) because they always sound so entitled. I saw one saying that the mc and his best friend (who clearly has romantic feelings for him) have more proof of their love because it sells but at the end of the day the MC will end up with the girl and they will win.
If the target audience is straight young boys, the MC having romantic chemistry with his best friend cant be a marketing strategy. Also, it's horrible how they celebrate the existence of heteronormativity/homophobia to validate their ships.
I am really tired of anime/manga fandoms, sometimes I just want to quit but I remember that real life is as horrible so I try to create a safe space for myself by avoiding those kind of people and their ships.
Unrelated to ships but I watched a video about the creator of Pokemon and how the industry mentally abused him by not letting him express his ideas for the franchise he himself created. They would always censor him and his creativity. Did you know he hated the main character? He wanted him to grow and realized that chasing pokemon was bad? That pokemon should be free? But editors wouldnt let him do it. It made me think of Kishimoto and wtf they did to his story and SNS. Messing with an artist's work is like messing with his heart. A piece of art is an artist's baby.
you explained it so well. for real, how the main character, who is usually a self insert to guys, having chemistry with his male best friend is a marketing strategy? just see how many men are uncomfortable and in denial with naruto and sasuke’s bond. they are the target audience and yet they think naruto having a panic attack at the thought of losing sasuke is too much. i’m not saying everybody will be against it or deny it, my male friends themselves say naruto and sasuke are gay and we joke about it but they don’t actually make fun of them being gay as if it’s comic or something, just like we do here on tumblr a “haha how can they be so gay” way, because it’s obvious and yet people crazily deny it.
those m/f shippers can pick on the homoeroticism and even admit the characters have chemistry, which honestly it’s a good reason to ship a pairing and yet they still choose pairings with no chemistry just because “they have more chances of being canon” or whatever. like yeah i’d would love to see my pairings being canon (if they end up happy obviously, like imagine getting “canon” but they end up like ss/nh, no thank you) but damn i’m not shipping according to that, chemistry and love and mutual feelings will always be above, you’re falling in love with their love. and yes, they celebrate homophobia because they acknowledge the gay pairing has chemistry and work well together and love each other and yet they are okay with them not ending up together simply because they are gay, they root against it because they know gay pairings don’t stand a chance in heteronormativity and their mediocre cishet couple is cishet so it’s okay even if they have nothing, he was a boy she was a girl i can’t make it more obvious 🙄 ss/nh shippers screaming at the top of their lungs “SS/NH IS CANON WE WIN” so fucking what? when the girls are still unwanted, when the pairings still have no chemistry… but yeah go celebrate the existence of them for the sake of a sequel with ugly kids i guess
what you said in the last paragraph… it makes sense kishimoto wrote a lot of things out of spite, yes he is a sold out, but he still couldn’t let the series go how he wanted sometimes, he had editors that didn’t want him to publish certain things… such as reverse harem no jutsu, this is just an example that we know of, imagine the ones that we don’t. and kishimoto himself said a lot of his ideas were unshonen, but he was publishing for a shonen magazine so it’s obvious a lot of what he had in mind didn’t happen

TOP 10 TV SHOWS I WATCHED IN 2022
1. PANIC on amazon prime
Tumblr media
i watched ‘panic’ at the very beginning of 2022, and have since rewatched it twice. i’m still surprised how it stuck with me and became one of my favorite shows, because typically i prefer more light-hearted stories. 
the idea of teenagers playing this high stakes life-threatening game is so intriguing. the mystery behind who started and runs this tradition adds so much suspense. there’s also the additional layer of poverty and family issues that’s pushing the main character. it’s so interesting to explore the characters’ motivations, their reactions to pressure. it makes for a colorful complex story. and, of course, what sells it is the main romance. the chemistry between the characters is off the charts!! (not me thinking i wouldn’t ship them before seeing the show phaha). 
even though ‘panic’ was cancelled after season 1 (which, sadly, is true for most of my favorite tv shows), i believe there’s a satisfying finality to the season that makes it work as a stand alone story.
2. QUEER AS FOLK on peacock
Tumblr media
pure queer joy is what this show is. i’ve only experienced this level of happiness while watching “genera+ion” (which is my favorite show ever). and yes, “queer as folk” is more adult because - duh - it’s about adults, and one teen character. in a lot of ways it’s about forming your community and keeping it safe. it takes on serious issues, the characters are messy and make mistakes, yet it feels so warm and comfortable, like a home.
i’ve never seen the original show so i’m judging this show from a non-reboot perspective (which i’m pretty sure it is anyway, even though you can make parallels between some characters, it’s a new different story).  
trigger warning: there’s a mass sh**ting scene in the first episode (it’s not very graphic).
3. HEARTBREAK HIGH on netflix
Tumblr media
the new aussie it show, move over h2o just add water! okay i’m joking, but heartbreak high really took over the world as it should have! it’s a diverse well-written gen z teen drama with amazing fashion. 
what you can expect: a lot of dramaaa, secrets & unexpected twists, sex scenes that don’t sexualize teenagers, actual ace representation (i’ve only seen it done this well in “genera+ion”), probably the best autistic representation i’ve ever seen, exploration of some dark themes (assault, police brutality) that are unfortunately a part of reality for a lot of teenagers, beautiful friendships and romantic relationships, teen angst and rebellion.
i fell in love with these characters and their dynamics, i can’t wait for season 2! plus, it turns out there was a lot of australian things i didn’t know about, so it was very cool to see australian culture represented in this fun bright series. 
4. REBELDE on netflix
Tumblr media
look at all these pretty faces and tell me you don’t want to know more about them. this show is one hell of a fun ride. it’s like elite mixed with violetta. there’s so much colorful potential in almost (looking at you esteban) all of these characters. they fight, they perform, they’re friends, rivals and lovers, and for the big moments they’re each other’s family. they’re rebelde. i want to steal their wardrobe and be their groupie.
5. WEDNESDAY on netflix
Tumblr media
not suprised this show became such a hit, but i’m glad i watched it when it came out without any preconceived expectations. the style of this show is amazing and it’s an entertaining watch. there can’t be enough praise for jenna ortega’s performance. she’s outstanding in everything she does, and she carried this show.
6. HEARTSTOPPER on netflix
Tumblr media
this is a fluffy warm ball of sunshine. comfort at its finest. i’m so happy this show exists and people talk about it. i just want to give every character a hug. oh, and i want those cute doodles in my life. 
7. THE SUMMER I TURNED PRETTY on amazon prime
Tumblr media
such a cute summer show. i think the creators did a great job of adapting the book for the modern young audience. it could’ve easily turned into another kissing booth with a “not like other girls” protagonist. even though you can see the original outline of the characters, they feel more evoled in the show. and that’s what i hope will happen to the story later on as well. i like when adaptations improve on given material and find their own identity. 
i did’t really like nor understood the ending so i’m kinda tense about season 2. if it’s gonna turn into a belly x conrad love show, i’m gonna have to head out, and demand a jeremiah spin off (#teamjeremiah). 
8. SINGLE DRUNK FEMALE on freeform
Tumblr media
so this is one of the more underrated shows on this list. it’s a dramedy that follows a young woman battling her addiction in a town full of people who are right there to remind her why she drinks. sam makes quite an appealing lead character. she’s messy, she’s selfish, she’s confrontational, but she longs for real meaningful connections, even though she’s afraid of them. there’s a diverse array of characters who go on this journey with her, and i love every single one of them. i think this show has a very good trailer actually, helps get the feel of the show and what it’s about.
9. DOLLFACE on hulu
Tumblr media
such a beautiful entertaining show about female friendship and finding yourself outside of a relationship. the cast is incredible, including kat dennings as the jilted ex, brenda song and shay mitchell as her estranged besties, matthew gray goobler as a love interest, and brianne howey and lilly singh as a nice bonus on the side. 
the part that makes this show so unique is the daydream sequences that follow the main character. it shifts the rules of the world, makes it more fantastic and unpredictable. makes me wish i could get on a bus with the cat lady that would take me to my friends.
10. HEATHERS on amazon prime
Tumblr media
no matter how much you like the original movie, THIS heather squad is way more memorable and charismatic. who wouldn’t want to watch an edgy dark comedy about teen phychopaths whose whole identity is “i’m not like the other people, i’m weird, i’m a weirdo”, toxic friendships, murderous romance & tumblr fashion circa 2016? maybe i’m just build different if it’s my jam and not yours. 
seriously though, i unapologetically loved it. kinda reminds me of “the scream queens” (which is outstanding) and “insatiable” (which i couldn’t get into). 
thanks for giving this a read <3 hopefully i convinced you to watch some of these!

Rating The Hollow Ships Because I’m Bored III (Crack Edition)
Here I am, back at it again with rating the hollow ships! This time the weird/misc ones! (Most of these ones are jokes by the way) Here are my two previous posts in the series!
As per usual: these are just my opinions, I’m not making this to diss anyone, I think It’d make for an interesting discussion, etc. Let’s get this ball rolling!
Gustaf/Weirdy X Death, Crazyskullshipping (Coined the term Myself):
We’re gonna ease into this using a ship that isn’t necessarily a crack ship, but also isn’t really an obscure or main ship either. It’s just...kinda there. But do I love the vibes? Absolutely. Is there a lot of angst and fluff potential with this ship? You betcha. They barely interact but that ONE scene in season 1 man...they just have so much chemistry. They never have a dull moment with each other.
Two gay dads watching over a bunch of digital crackhead teenagers. Beautiful.
Overall: 8/10
Kai x The Soup He Ate in Season 1:
A match made in heaven. The soup always warms up Kai when he needs it, and Kai is always there to appreciate the soup’s taste!
Those who weren’t around in the good ol’ Hollow days on The Hollow Official Amino probably don’t remember when people obsessed over this ship. By god was it a glorious time!
Overall: 🍲/10
Skeet x His Beanie:
Come on! They were practically soulmates, practically designed for one another! Have you ever seen Skeet without his beloved Beanie?!
...Oh wait-
Overall: 🐌/10
The Ishibo x Literally Anyone:
Let’s be real folks. The Ishibo has chemistry with everyone. Yes, including you, your mom, your dad, and Obama himself. The Ishibo is the best lover for any soul, young or old. It’ll protect you, it’ll fight for you, it’ll do anything for you.
We stand by our magic stick.
Overall: 100000000000000000/10
The Hollow x Netflix:
The worst match I’ve ever seen, ever. Sorry y’all, but I simply don’t like toxic couples! No shade to those who do though, of course. It’s just, when I saw Netflix gaslight The Hollow after they found out they weren’t getting a season 2? I lost all joy in the ship.
Simply not my cup of tea, sorry. The Hollow deserved so, so much better! Poor baby!
Overall: -100/10
Bonus - Come Sweet Death!Kai x Some Goddamn Therapy and Medications:
Lord knows the bastard needs it after all the bull he goes through. Who cares about getting btiches?! Just get this boy some fucking help!
This last one will age like fine wine the more I progress into the fanfic.
Overall: It just keeps tumbling down/10

↘ independent && private VENTI from GENSHIN IMPACT ↘ headcanon heavy ↘ multi - para, multi - ship, ship friendly ↘ mun is 21↑ runs on a GMT +8 timezone
GUIDELINES.
01. this is an independent, selective and private blog. i will only interact with mutuals and will be extremely selective with who i follow due to the chaotic nature of this fandom. i won't follow first since i made this blog to roleplay with friends only but if you catch me on a time where i am more free, i'll follow back.
Please softblock / hardblock if you do not wish to interact anymore. There’ll be no hard feelings, of course. You do what you have to do but please just soft / hardblock to make it clear. Thank you !
credit for icon border:venuscommissions  credit for theme base code: soldierholiic
THREADS
02. one-liners, multipara are all okay. i lean more towards the latter but i wouldn’t mind doing one-liners either for fun.
03. usually, i match length. but i can also write a lot. i write a hecking lot, especially when it comes to meme in askbox. i ramble a lot. but don’t feel stressed over matching lengths - just give me something to reply to.
04. if you wish to continue a thread from asks, feel free to create a new post and tag me in it.
05. i’m known as a bit of a muse bicycle so i can roleplay any side characters to spice things up on and complement the threads. 
06. i will drop threads if i don’t feel it anymore but i will try my best to let you know about it beforehand and maybe we can either discuss another plot or shake hands and walk away like mature adults if nothing else works. there’s no pressure to continue interacting with me if there isn’t chemistry between the mun either !
SHIPPING
07. multi-ship, and is generally alright with most ships. feel free to chat me up if you find that our muse has chemistry / has potential to develop good chemistry. naturally, i will not write romantic ships with muns or characters under the age of 18. i won't write xiaoven, cynonari or zhongchi. platonic is fine.
08. please note that i will require sufficient threads and ooc discussions to start a ship with anyone but that goes for everybody, yeah? 
NSFW
09. yes, i am over 20 but i most likely will not be writing sex stuff with just anyone off the bat. main reason being i am pretty bad with it and i wouldn’t want to accidentally give anyone’s character a derection or anything. i do like to write the foreplay though but anything that comes after is pretty hard to interest me unless it’s with a shipping partner. also, i make a lot of sex innuendos joke because unfortunately that’s my main comedy go to but it doesn’t mean that i want to write smut.
NO-NOs
10. please don’t come to my dms with passive aggressiveness and uppity in regards to how i write my character. i don’t care that much about sticking to canon to a tee. i love to bend the lore, twist the rules around and entertain to the best of my creative abilities. i only focus on making myself a very happy writer and hopefully someone a very happy writing partner.
11.  mun =/= muse, this goes without saying. but if my muses becomes a bit too much, just let me know nicely and i’ll try and dial them down. your comfort is important but don’t be a jerk about it.
12. i will block anyone who engage in senseless drama or discourse. i will also not follow anyone whose headcanons or takes i am uncomfortable with that sprung up due to sinophobia, have incited sinophobia or any misinterpreted romanticization of my culture at that sort in this fandom. we sure live in a wild time, huh.
13. i portray the chinese version of the game when it comes to characterization of the characters and lore.
14. no god-modding, obviously. and try not to have your muse know things that my muse wouldn’t tell anyone. 
15. I have massive social anxiety, coupled with a lot of other shit with my mental health so I will be selective with who I will continue to thread with. If something bothers me, I’ll let you know nicely and gently. If we still don’t click, I’ll have to drop threads or plotting ( though I will still be open with working things out ) but again, I’ll let you know nicely and gently. Please be open to that possibility!
i have discord and i’m all willing to share with mutuals. just hit me up!

Okay, hello. So I read the chapter once last night, died bc it was so good, went to bed to process my thoughts, woke up, read it again because it’s SO good, and then dug out my bluetooth keyboard so I didn’t have to type up all my thoughts on my phone screen. HERE WE GO (Chp 15 spoilers ahead):
#1: OH MY GOD. The chemistry between these two is insane. You have me BLUSHING as I read. At one point I had to put my phone down and do a lap around my living room because I was on fire 🔥🔥🔥 And obviously the scene in Horner’s office was chef’s kiss/flawless/hot/insane, but… BUT the alley scene?!?!?! The tension. The teasing. The trust. The honestly. The CASUAL INTIMACY/TOUCHING!?!? These two are so in love. Like Daniel might be part Australian, part Italian, part American, part whatever else he wants to say, but SotD Daniel is 100% simp and I LOVE it.
#2: I am, at my core, a Sharl Leclerc girlie. I will go to war for him. BUT because of YOU I am ANNOYED with him. I know he is trying to help and he’s so sweet, but if he does not stay in his lane, I will lose it. However, I have faith in him. Also, you write these characters so well! The little details you include? Immaculate. Like when Charles was talking about the cherries and just pauses like, “…they are a fruit right?” I could hear the exact way he would say that because it’s so on brand for him. Same with Max, Dan, etc. Your characterization is always on point.
#3: Charles calling Denial - oops typo, i meant Daniel - out in front of Max? Daniel not even caring about keeping appearances any more because he’s so jealous. Her forgetting she’s supposed to be cuddling Charles because she wants to touch Daniel so bad? I am begging them just to get their shit together, but I can’t even complain because it’s SO SO SO good.
Thank you for once again blessing us with this chapter. I have more thoughts but I’m getting too worked up as I go through everything again.
I do have a question: do you have a rough outline of the rest of the story/do you know how many chapters it’s going to have, or are you just kind of going with the flow? Everything has been so well built and I KNOW you have a few more twists and puzzles pieces to include, and I’m just so grateful to be along for the ride.
Anyway, happy race week, you’re a star, and I love you. Okay byeee!
-💖
Okay first; I love the fact that you had to go and pull out your bluetooth keyboard so you could type up your thoughts, seriously. I love you. 
#1. I cannot tell you what a compliment it is to hear that you had to set your phone down and do a lap because it means you were FEELING IT. And like what I want the most when I write. For the reader to feel the emotions and feelings. If it doesn’t make you feel then I’ve failed (in my mind) so it’s like you’re telling me I nailed it and I”m just 😭😭😭
#2. I’m cackling at you being a Sharl girl and being annoyed with him. “If he does not stay in his lane,  I will lose it.” GIRL YOU’RE KILLING ME 😂😂😂 Also I really appreciate that you notice the little moments of characterization because those are my favorite things to write and the things that I really adore!! I really love being able to hear a character say that in my head!  THANK YOU BBY
#3. DENIAL 😂 I’M - girl omfg. I can’t even tell you how much I love drink her naturally gravitating towards Dan and Charles trying to herd her back to him but it’s like herding a cat. She doesn’t even realize it either, goodness. 
No, thank YOU!! For reading, for all your thoughts, they make my day and are seriously like such a huge part of why I write. Hearing what you loved or how things made you feel is so incredibly exciting to me, so THANK YOU!!! 
Lastly; Yes I do have an outline! I made an initial outline before I ever started writing (and spent way too long on it LMAO) and I’ve been following that since. I think I’ve mentioned it on here before, but my initial outline was 10 chapters (JOKES ON ME). I’m still hitting the main points I wanted to hit, but now my outline is much more in depth, breaking it down chapter by chapter and then scene by scene. However; it’s also not rigid at all, it changes and shifts and things get moved or pushed or dropped to add something else. I use erasable pens for this reason 😂 If you ever want to see my mess of a notebook, just lmk 😘
HAPPY RACE WEEK, YOU ARE A SHINING ANGELBURST STAR AND I LOVE YOU.

hey dovey! i was wondering if i could get a matchup for jjk (male)? also, i recently read your smau about cheating and it was so cute hehehe ♡
i’m 18, female, korean/canadian, 167cm tall, 48kg, and an intj-t. as you can kinda tell from my weight, your girl does not have an ass :’) nor boobs (toudou and yuji be shaking their heads). i dress pretty comfortably but i’d like to think it looks a bit more put together due to the neutral colours. though, i do really like soft pinks and yellows. i have dark brown hair, slightly tanned skin, black ass eyes (can’t even see my pupils :/), and i’d say i’m pretty average looking ya know?
personality wise…. hmmm… i joke around a lot. teasing is just something i tend to do but i realize i’m also quite sensitive. but the joking usually takes a bit to come out cause i’m normally just in the quieter side and i like to watch people. oop- that sounds a bit creepy but yeah, just observing, seeing how people interact and just listening.
i want to become a pharmacist and i’m going into my second year of uni so fun! i am a bit nerdy, i like chemistry a lot. my main interests and hobbies are baking, cooking, climbing, and plants! i have a bunch of plants that i name and care a lot for (yes, i have cried when one of them died :’( his name was eddie)
i’m a pretty domestic person but i do like to do some exploring, urban or rural. oh! i do tend to plan to ahead in the future and worry a bit.
relationship wise, im not very experienced. only have had one boyfriend and that didn’t end well. but i’ve found that most of my closest friends have been extroverts, the balance i guess ♡
anyways thank you so much and i hope you’re doing well my love ♡
I Match You With..

Will 100% ask you to coordinate your outfits together
will also love to people watch you with you. he’d find it calming
loves to give you gifts just to see your face light up!
(if one of ur plants died he’d put together a little funeral for it)
i also don’t see him being very experienced in relationships so he likes that you both are learning new things about them together
i think it would take a lot of incoragment from his friends but he would eventually be the one to make the first move.
Likes to help you with ur homework ( even if he has no idea what he doing)
i definitely think he would be the type to use nicknames like love , sweetheart,ect
Thank you so much for requesting!!

Okay just caught up on The Winchesters, and this last episode is the first solid one in my opinion (though they’ve all been miles better than the pilot.) Thoughts time!
Actively enjoyed the psych ward ep: it was fun and I liked how it got deeper than the other stories. Now that i’m thinking about it... I may also have liked it better because John and Mary didn’t have many scenes together, and Mary was hardly in it lol.
I will say that Mary (while she still feels unbelievable as a prequel to her SPN counterparts) has improved some. Some. Still annoying at times, but definitely better than in the pilot, and more bearable on the whole. Still stock though and a huge weak link.
But yeah, loved the focus on John and Carlos, the strongest main characters imo, along w/ John’s mom. Ada is also still fairly cool but we don’t know much about her yet, so I don’t have many opinions besides that she’s... talented and slightly unsettling? Do I trust her? I don’t know. The bonsai thing wigged me out lol. Latika on the other hand is just—kinda boring. You could remove her and I wouldn’t care or likely notice. Actually I’d probably be happy about it. Imma say it, she’s there for diversity points—and to fill the “Sam Void”—and not for talent. (Don’t at me, I share an ethnicity with the girl. And personally I’d prefer no rep to boring rep. I don’t know what Mary’s excuse is for being there though, because again it can’t be for talent.) But GOSH I love Carlos more and more every episode. Yes make block of wood Mary dance with you. Force happiness and good humor upon your friends. Be flamboyant. I love him, stereotypes aside. Anyway. He and John were both compelling, I liked the veteran link that was added between them, the individual episode plot actually got due focus for once and was fun and I loved the scenes they were both able to get. (Previously it felt like literal episode plots were a b-plot to the season arc, which was just weird, and there was too much emphasis on character troubles that never got past generic surface level emotionally [oh no my dad is gone, oh no i can’t give up hunting, mary isn’t a team player, etc etc etc]. Ep. 4 thankfully changed it up, and I was able to get into the plot as well as be invested in the character’s emotions.). 
Side note that shot of Carlos in therapy was 10/10. The shirt, the hair asdfg. Anyway good for Jensen, let a character go to therapy. Sam and Dean could never.
Another side note: I know I was kinda joking about Carlos/John having chemistry but I swear that man in uniform scene had subtext. Like. That had subtext right?
Overall the show could still be cleaner, slightly better paced and a lil less ‘CW’—also could use monsters that don’t fall as flat overall—buttttt I actively enjoyed myself this evening, and have some hope for the show. Here’s hoping the quality keeps rising and doesn’t dip back below ep 4 levels?? 
Kinda wish they could have one-off episodes without mentioning and dragging in the season villains every two seconds though haha. There was no need to tie this last one in with the Acreda [is that spelled right??] at the end, and it was a more interesting before they dropped tidbit in. Let the episodes breathe. They have potential.

How exactly do you deal with a friends-to-lovers storyline?
Writing Friends to Lovers
masterlist. main navigation.
@bluebxlle_writer on instagram
Hii, thank you for the ask and sorry for the late response! Writing friends to lovers without making it seem forced or boring may be a bit difficult. I'm honestly not the best person for this advice (I'm more of an enemies to lovers mf :DD), but I also have a friends to lovers ship in one of my WIPs, so I'll try to share what I know!
1. Healthy friendship
Before anything else - before all the chemistry and attraction, make sure that their friendship is healthy. Give them platonic chemistry and contrasting personalities that are compatible. See to it that none of them are "toxic" and using the other - they need to be genuinely good friends who like each other.
2. The "oh no" moment
Gosh you can tell how bad I am at explaining things when I name a bullet point 'the "oh no" moment'-
Romantic attraction in friends doesn't happen randomly - there's a moment where everything clicks, and you think : "Oh no, I like them more than just a friend". It can be in the form of physical attraction (e.g. seeing them laughing under the night lights and noticing how gorgeous they look), or emotional attraction (e.g. them holding you close when you're scared, and you realize that you want to be vulnerable with them)
3. Changes
After the newfound romantic feelings, things are bound to change in the friendship. After all, the shift from platonic to romantic feelings will be awkward.
Maybe there are some things that they now can't do together without feeling embarrased (e.g. sleepovers). Maybe they begin to change their speaking or texting tendencies. Maybe they'll start behaving differently (e.g. more teasing & more physical touch). Or maybe, they'll start avoiding eye contact because it makes them nervous, and they're afraid that the other would figure out their feelings. They might also notice things that they didn't see at first (e.g. their mannerisms, laugh, smile, or expressions)
4. Tension
There are a few ways to add tension in their relationship;
• Make it one-sided at first. Or at least, only show the romantic attraction from one point of view, so that the readers won't know if the relationship will work.
• Alternately, you can use mutual pining. It's obvious how they both like each other romantically, but none of them would tell the other, resulting in slow-burn and mutual pining. Just make sure to not make it too long, or it'll be exhausting.
• Make them unaware of their crush on their friend. They'll do things that makes it obvious that they're in love (e.g. walking them home, complimenting them a little too much, protecting them), but their dumbass doesn't realize it. Bonus points if everyone knows they're in love except themself- yes this is Adrien Agreste
• You can even do the opposite - make them realize that they're in love with their friend, but they'll keep on questioning it. They'll be unsure if they're serious about their feelings or it's just a temporary one.
• OR, my personal favorite : they KNOW that they're in love, but they constantly deny it. They'll try to convince themselves that the romantic attraction is just a dumb crush, and they'll get over it. Over time, they'll realize that there's no running away from that feeling, which MAY lead to a heated confession :D
5. Getting together
• How did the confession happen? Was it one-sided or double-sided?
• Did they immediately announce their relationship to their friends? Or did they decide to keep it a secret first to not freak anyone out?
• They'll try new habits in the relationship (cuddling, kissing, etc.), but I think it'll be nice if they would keep their old ones too. Show them joking around and teasing each other like when they were still friends. It'll remind the readers that before all the romance, they were already friends who are compatible with each other.

Lee Taeyong - One Shot
Tumblr media
Pairing: Female Reader (photographer) x Lee Taeyong (idol)
Genre: Smut
Word Count: 4,2k
Warnings: oral (f/m) | fingering (f) | penetration | protected sex | squirt | manhandling | finger sucking
Synopsis: Who would have thought that doing a photo shoot with NCT would lead you to stay after your working hours in a room alone with Taeyong...
You were already asleep when you got a call from your boss. One of the photographers who would be working tomorrow had gotten sick and he needed you to go to work in her place. You had been hired a few months ago, but you hadn't worked on any major projects yet, even though your experience in the field is impeccable. He asked you to arrive early tomorrow at the film set and your colleague would explain all the work. You were so excited, it would be your first opportunity to show your talent, whatever job it was.
You could barely sleep and ended up waking up earlier than you needed to. You chose a comfortable outfit, pants and shirt, ate your favorite breakfast, did some very basic makeup, highlighting your cute lips, and went out to the photo set. The day was beautiful with a very blue sky and a shining sun. It was almost 10 am when you arrived at the luxurious hotel where the photos would be. At the entrance, your colleague was waiting for you with an iced coffee in each hand. You greeted each other quickly, thanking her for the coffee, and headed into the hotel, picking up your credentials at the lobby. On the way to the main hall, she explained to you that they would have a big crew today because they were going to photograph a famous K-pop group, NCT127. Each photographer would be responsible for one of them during the individual photos, and the photos would be taken in a hotel room according to the aesthetic that each one wanted. She told you that you would be responsible for Taeyong, the leader of the group. You were shocked. You were just replacing the sick photographer and were you responsible for none other than the GROUP LEADER? “Don't worry, he's an experienced idol. He'll help you with whatever you need. He's also a sweetheart, rest assured”, she said, patting your arm. You sighed in relief. You need to do your best today to take your best pictures. You knew Taeyong and how perfect he was in the photos. His features were sharp and his gaze was deep, the best set for a good model.
It didn't take long for all the photographers and directors to arrive, preparing their cameras, lights and scenery, reviewing the positions and space around them. The beats of their music echoed faintly through the hall. You heard rumbles coming from the entrance to the hall and turned to see what was going on. The boys had arrived along with their security guards and managers. They were mostly in sweats and comfortable clothes, clearly without the luxurious outfits prepared for the photos. Some messy hair, sleepy eyes and yawns accompanied their expression, but that didn't stop you from noticing how beautiful they were. Extremely beautiful. They were talking to each other, sipping their coffee, laughing and settling down next to the staff members. The blonde one, Taeyong, stood in front of them, ceasing their conversation. They greeted all of the staff, bowing and smiling. The director took the lead and made the general introductions. "We will have a team responsible for each member to optimize the work today. Please direct each member to their workstation to begin preparations". He called one name at a time, redirecting the boys to their teams. The makeup artists and hairdressers started to work, preparing their looks according to the references they had received. You stood a little away from him, a little embarrassed, holding your camera. You didn't want to take pictures of him without makeup, respecting his personal space, so you waited until the stylists had finished. He was perfect now, with his hair straight and his makeup done. Soft pink lips emphasized the shape. He was fiddling with his cell phone, waiting for the moment to go change. You approached slowly. “Hi Mr. Lee… I’m Y/n. I am your photographer today”, you introduced yourself, bending a little and unable to look at him. “Hey! Nice to meet you.”. You raised your eyes a little to see him. He was smiling and waving his hand. “I didn't know you. Are you new here?”, he asked. “Yes… Hm… I'm replacing a colleague who couldn't come”, you answered, squeezing your camera in your hands. “If you have any questions or need help, just ask me, okay?”, he smiled and got up to go dress up. You breathed a sigh of relief. You were very nervous and hadn't even realized you weren't breathing properly. He seemed very kind and that made you more relieved.
The group photos were quick. The boys were very professional, they knew exactly what to do, where to look and how to position their bodies. They were very comfortable with the production, playing games with each other but not disturbing each other's work. Everyone's attention was focused on them, always going to fix some hair that was out of place, or some slightly smudged makeup. Words of encouragement from the photographers only made them more excited. You were always watching Taeyong. You needed to learn how he looked at the camera, what angles he preferred and how he liked to pose for pictures. He was the one who looked most comfortable among them all. He wore burgundy pants and a shiny leather jacket, no shirt. Sometimes your eyes locked, making your whole body heat up, and eventually you would shyly look away.
Everyone had lunch at the hotel restaurant and then went to the individual sets. All lights and equipment were mounted. The rooms weren't very big, but the staff was downsized now so you wouldn't have a problem with that. The room had a bed by the window, a sofa across the room, and a rug with wave patterns. The pale colors contrasted with Taeyong's clothes.
Individual photos took longer. Taeyong always stopped to look at the result in the notebook, giving suggestions for light, for angles, praising your photos. You were getting more and more comfortable with him, laughing at the jokes and daring to get closer. “It's almost 7 PM, we should start wrapping up”, you said. He looked at you. “I really want to try some other poses and angles. Y/n, can you stay up a little later?” he asked and you nodded quickly. It was your most important job so far and you would make the most of it. “We won't need the production. You all can go. These photos will be for my personal project. Thank you so much for your hard work today”. He said, turning to the rest of the staff. They thanked and bowed, starting to pack their things and leave the room. You were very happy that he asked you to take more photos for his personal project. So he liked your work, right? You were enjoying working with him too. The conversation and exchange of ideas flowed easily. You quickly understood what he wanted and could reproduce it with your clicks. You had good chemistry together. “I'm going to go down and get my stuff from downstairs and from there we can start, ok?”, you said, opening the door and heading for the elevator. You were very excited... and a little nervous about being alone in a room with him. Quickly grabbing your extra lights and lenses, you went back to the hotel room, thinking of all the angles that could be made there. You knocked on the door before entering. Taeyong had his notebook open, sitting on the couch. The room was cozier now that all the lights were out and there wasn't a lot of equipment in the corners. “I ordered drinks and some snacks for us. We can relax a little while I explain to you what I thought for these photos.”, he said as you put your things down by the couch, sitting on the bed in front of him. “Oh thank you! So… Tell me a little about your project, please”, you asked him. His eyes were shining as he told you about his new album that he produced himself. He was thinking about taking photos to promote digitally. A sexier concept as his songs were very intimate. You really liked everything. He had a very artistic mind and he spoke in a very emotional way.
The snacks arrived and you thanked them, you were starving. At some point you sat next to him on the couch while he showed you pictures he liked, so you could follow the concept. You both finished eating and you got up, “How do you want to start? Maybe on the couch?”, he nodded, crossing his legs and leaning on the sofa, his tiger look appearing again. His duality was incredible. Super cute and adorable off camera, but extremely irresistible on them. His poses were great and you always praised him between them, cheering him on. He lay on his back on the couch, letting his arm fall over the edge, looking directly at you through the camera lens. This was the best photo of the night, for sure. He sat, legs closed, back laying on the couch. If you were your camera right now, you would be melted by his gaze. “Can you take one up close?”, he asked. You positioned yourself very close to his legs, leaning forward to get as close as possible, trying to balance. “You can put your legs around mine. That’s okay”. You did as he said, timidly opening your legs and getting closer to him, his legs between yours. He lay a little more on the couch, flirting with the lenses. Or with you? You didn't know anymore at that point. You tried to get a little closer, but you lost your balance, falling forward. He quickly put his hands around your waist, holding you, making you sit in his lap. “Are you ok?”, he asked. You were so embarrassed, your cheeks were burning. “Oh my god, I’m so sorry. Thank you”, you whispered. You didn't try to get up and he didn't move either. His hands still gripping your waist, holding you in place. “Maybe a photo this close will be good”, he murmured, lightly squeezing his hands on you. You quickly raised the camera. You thanked you for not having to look him in the eye, but being able to see him through the lens was a really amazing view. You clicked several times, trying to capture the most of the moment. You tightened your thighs around him, getting closer. His hands gently moved down your legs as his gaze traveled over your entire body. He bit his lower lip when you whispered a compliment, letting his head fall back, panting softly. He was enjoying the whole moment, just like you. You took his chin between your fingers and pushed it up, making him face the camera. Your thumb lightly scraping the bitten lip as he opened it slightly. Lowering the camera, you glared into his eyes, pushing your finger slowly between his lips, testing the waters. You let a low moan escape as he ran his tongue over your finger, circling slowly and then closing his lips around it.
Taeyong was so sexy already totally drunk with pleasure underneath you, with labored breathing and huge pupils dilated by arousal. You could almost feel him melt under your touch, giving himself completely. Was this really happening? Or did you hit your head in the elevator and this is all just your mind's creation? The questioning passed quickly when you felt a sharp bite on your finger, pulling you back to reality. Yes, he was there, deliciously sucking your finger like it was the tastiest candy he'd ever had. Putting the camera to one side entirely, you looked deep into his eyes, lifting your head with a defiant look as your fingers tightened inside his mouth, forcing him to open it. He took a deep breath before suddenly grabbing you around the waist and pulling you close to his chest, causing you to lose your balance and fall onto his chest completely, bracing both your hands on the couch behind him. You felt him pushing his hips up against yours just before your lips met. His lips were colder than yours, giving you goosebumps. Quickly devouring each other, the kiss became extremely hot as your tongues twisted against each other, tasting the sweet needy taste. You slipped your hand from his chest, past his neck, into his blonde hair, tangling your fingers in, pressing your mouths even closer, deepening the kiss. A purr resonated through his chest, leaving you extremely excited. He was so responsive to your actions, melting at any gesture, especially when you showed dominance over him.
You let your head fall back, leaving your neck free, guiding Taeyong to kiss you there. Despite the strength of your hand in his hair, he took his time kissing your jaw until he reached the base of your neck, biting and licking near your collarbone. His hands moved up from your hips, working their way under your shirt, reaching the base of your breasts. His hands weren't big, but they hugged your ribs as best they could. Running his hands down your back until he reached your shoulders, he pressed you down, against your prominent volume growing inside his pants, kissing the valley between your breasts through your shirt. You can do nothing but sigh. You grabbed the hem of your shirt and pulled it up, letting Taeyong sink between your breasts, kissing them through the lace of your bra as his deft hands opened it from behind. He pulled back for a moment as he slipped the straps over your shoulder, letting the bra fall between you, quickly tossing it to the side. Admiring your bare breasts, he cupped them both in his hands, massaging them gently, playing with your nipples between his fingers, lightly squeezing, earning a moan from you. Looking deep into your eyes, he brought his pink lips near to your nipple, pressing the tip of his tongue around it before capturing it with his mouth. The other one was being pinched and twirled between his fingers. You could feel your arousal making you wet, pooling in the fabric of your panties. You pressed your hips against his, trying to feel him hard against your clothed core.
You were startled when he quickly flipped you over with your back to the couch, sitting you down and pulling your hips closer to the edge. He found the waistband of your pants and pulled it with his fingers along with your panties, leaving you totally naked. His eyes ran all over your body, burning through every part they passed. Spreading your legs, he positioned in the middle as he sought your lips for another hot kiss. He was still fully dressed and it made you a little embarrassed to be undressed. You took advantage of the fact that he was close and started to open the buttons on his leather coat as he sucked your tongue and left bites on your lips. He helped you finish taking off his coat, throwing it somewhere in the room. He took a moment for you to look at him between your legs, standing up, and appreciate his gorgeous torso, now exposed since he wasn't wearing any shirt. He knelt gracefully between your legs, still looking into your eyes, and placed his hands on the inner part of your thigh, forcing you to spread your legs even further so that he could fit his broad shoulders between them. He brought his lips too close to your wet folds, but he didn't touch, just laid there, breathing hot, making you feel how close he was from your core. You grabbed his hair and forced his head against you, which he gladly accepted, flattening his tongue on your cunt. It didn't take long before he was devouring you hungrily, licking up all of your liquid, sucking on your clit and twisting his tongue around it. It felt great and you moaned his name under your breath, trying not to yell at all the neighbors to hear. You felt your orgasm approaching and began to roll your hips, rubbing yourself against his tongue. You couldn't help when your back arched and the wave of heat spilled over your whole body. He didn't stop sucking on your clit, prolonging the sensation of pleasure as your body writhed with each movement. When the sensation started to get painful from overstimulation, he slipped two fingers inside your wet interior, starting to move them curved, reaching the most sensitive point. You were about to ask him to stop when you felt another orgasm coming. His fingers worked fast in and out of your pussy, rubbing your g-spot with precision, while his mouth kissed your super sensitive clit. You felt an incredible pressure taking hold of your uterus, as if your bladder were suddenly too full. You tried to close your legs, but he held you tight, looking you in the eyes, daring you to stay there. You were hit by a high-speed train when your second orgasm came too quickly compared to the previous one. “Fuck…”, you yelled as you heard the louder and wet noises spreading through the room as Taeyong guided you through your moment of ecstasy. When you managed to open your eyes, he was looking at you with a proud smile on his lips. “God…that was really hot…”, he said, bringing his soaked fingers to his mouth, sucking each one until there was no juices left. You looked at your legs and saw that they were much wetter than usual. It's been a long time since you last had a squirt. And you were sure this wasn't the first time he's done this with a woman.
You saw his other hand rubbing the volume down his pants. He made you feel so good and now you wanted to return the favor. “Get up”, you asked, signaling with your finger. He immediately got up. Small dark stains covered the front of his burgundy pants, hit by your juices. Both of his hands were clasped behind his back, puffing out his chest and taking a deep breath, waiting for you. You reached for the button on his pants, undoing it slowly as you teased him with your gaze. You slid the zipper down at a slow pace, anticipating your touch on his cock. He was wearing black boxers, which fit perfectly against his body, showing the design of his hard member constrained by the fabric. You dropped his pants on his feet. Taking a firm grip on his ass and squeezing, you brought your lips close to his still-covered volume, sliding your lips over his length. You earned a sigh of appreciation. He didn't tease you, so you wouldn't tease him either. You grabbed the waistband of his boxers and pulled it down, freeing his hard cock. He was wet with pre-cum, glistening in the bedroom light, inviting your mouth to suck it. You took it in your hand, being careful not to put too much pressure, and brought the tip to your lips, giving light kisses around it as you looked at him. His eyes sparkling with anticipation when you stuck your tongue out, gently circling, collecting the pre-cum to taste it. He was so sweet you almost couldn't believe it. You put his whole head in your mouth and increased the pressure on your hand, making him moan louder than before. Sliding down to the end of its length and back, feeling it hit the back of your throat, you started to suck it, your other hand mimicking your movements, but to the opposite side. When your head twisted to the right as you swallowed his length, your hand met twisting to the left. He was moaning hard from pleasure, making you feel proud of your perfect blowjob. You were determined to make him come in your mouth, so you took his balls with your free hand, gently massaging them back and forth as you deepthroated his entire length. You were about to go back when you felt his hand pressing your head further, keeping his cock in your hot throat. You couldn't fight the gag reflex, but he pulled back your head, freeing your throat so you could breathe.
Your lips were all wet with saliva, as was his dick. He pulled your head, making you look at him. "Please… I don't want to come yet…", he begged between sighs. You stood up, hugging his defined waist, quickly spinning him around, causing him to lose his balance and land on the couch. You sat on his lap, positioning your needy pussy on top of his hard cock. Resting your hands on his chest, you started grinding his entire length with your wet folds. He took hold of your hips and helped guide the movement, rolling his eyes back at the wonderful feeling it was like to have you slide past him. “Do you have a condom?”, you asked. He was a little bewildered with pleasure and looked a little startled by the question. “Y-yes…”, he replied, quickly reaching into his wallet and pulling one out. You barely waited for him to finish putting on as you positioned yourself with your entrance to the head of his cock, taking advantage that he was holding it up.
You slid painfully slowly across his length, watching his gaze fixed on where he disappeared inside you. You both moaned low as you reached the end, waiting until your tight walls got used to his size. He cupped both of your breasts, taking one of them in his mouth and kissing it as if it were your lips. You started to roll your hips with his dick deep inside you. “Fuck…”, you both whispered. You couldn't keep it that way for long, so you got up until it almost came out of you, and sank down again. You kept the rhythm steady, enjoying the pleasure inside you. Your brain still didn't seem to process the fact that you were fucking none other than Taeyong. He was really perfect, like he came out of an anime. And he was enjoying being there with you… it made you even more turned out. He started to move his hips too, slamming against you harder, pushing even deeper. You couldn't hold back a shriek of pleasure as it hit so deep you could have sworn you'd feel pain there tomorrow. He kept it deep and strong, the thrusts getting more and more sloppy while the two of you were a moaning mess. Both bodies tense feeling the orgasm approaching, labored breathing filling the room with gasps of air. Grabbing the hair at the back of his head and forcing him away from your sensitive nipple, you captured his lips with yours, still tasting your own juice on his tongue. You could feel your walls tightening and his cock throbbing. You stopped bouncing on him, just focusing on kissing his mouth, but he held your hips in the air, giving him room to move under you, pushing his cock deeper and faster with harder and harder. You dropped your head at the base of his neck, moaning not so low his name as he nibbled and sucked on your neck, increasing your pleasure even further. “Fuck, Taeyong… I’m so close… Please, don’t stop”, you begged this time, holding tight his body against yours. Your words made him fuck you even faster, moaning in a low tone countless curses in your ear. Your orgasm erupted as he licked and bit your earlobe, giving you shivers all over your body, followed by the tingling sensation. Your walls squeezed his cock hard inside you, sucking him in with your pussy. He couldn’t hold it any longer and he's bursted all of his cum into the condom, deep inside you. He didn't stop moving in and out until you were both almost starting to feel pain from overstimulation.
You lay there cuddled together as your bodies rested, restoring your breathing rhythm and heartbeat. This all still didn't feel real. You just had the best sex of your life with… him. You were awakened from your thoughts by his voice in your ear. “Can we take a shower together?”, he asked, his voice so soft he didn't sound like the same person from a few minutes ago. “Only if you wash my hair for me…”, you joked. “Okay, I can do that”, he smiled. He helped you to your feet and went to the bathroom and started getting ready for the shower. “I'll order us something to eat if you don't mind. I'm hungry and I believe you are too”. You nodded as you wrapped yourself in the robe that was in the bedroom. He was being so adorable and caring. In fact, you wouldn't expect him to just send you away after having melted under your touch so easily. He was a gentleman and he was making you feel special right now.
The shower was fun and he let you do various hairstyles with the shampoo bubbles in his hair. Also the timing was perfect. As soon as you guys got out of the shower and wrapped yourself in your hotel robes, the food he ordered arrived in your room. Both of you ate while he told stories about behind the scenes in the clips and funny situations with other members of the group. He was so easy to talk to and give you pleasure that you could easily fall in love...
