Since Twitter might not be a thing for much longer I wanted to move the trivia threads for my picture books to tumblr.
OC lore dump and sketches for my first self-published picture book Hurricane Lane under the cut;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The number one thing I'm worried about is people thinking my book is related to the hurricane of the same name. I wrote this in 2010-2011 which predates it and the title is meant to convey Amelia's life in her suburban town and how she views it more dramatically then it is.
The name was also inspired by this beautiful song by The Hush Sound which I was listening to a lot whilst concepting and really influenced aesthetics (more subdued colour, the inclusion of the piano being an important story point etc).
I started getting interested in children's illustration when I saw the Penguin Design Competition advertised at my uni in 2010. I didn't make the cut but figured I'd go ahead and finish my book anyway because at that point I was invested in my story and wanted to complete it.
The contest called for an ebook with interactive pages so I made Hurricane Lane have seven special pages of  'wonders' Amelia finds throughout her story. Unfortunately with flash player gone the interactions don't play but they're still found online here;
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I based Amelia's design on a Mii I had made which was supposed to represent a human Pikachu. You can see the Mii on the bottom left here. I really liked how it looked and she gradually evolved into what she is today.
Tumblr media
Initially the dinosaur suit that her brother has was going to be worn by Amelia but I preferred her without it and thus Bailey was born. The dinosaur itself was based on a purple stegosaurus keyring I had when I was younger and loved even though I had no keys at the time.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here are some more initial outfit designs for Amelia but in the end I went with the one on the right, inspired by Miku Hatsune's 'Out and About' module from Project Diva.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The family's father Rupert was partly based on my own dad (definitely the dress sense) but in 2010 I was also really obsessed with the BBC show Merlin and may have tried to age up Colin Morgan a bit to make this character.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The mother's design was a little based on my own Mother's and a little the title character of the film Amelié (she evolved beyond this quite early so there's not too striking a resemblence). I was also obsessed with the music in that film which inspired this book a lot.
Tumblr media
I kept it vague whether she worked at the hospital or was staying there as a patient because at the time I had an idea for an overarching narrative where the families of Hurricane Lane and 256 Postcards Ago meet. This didn't pan out so feel free to have your own interpretation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's some initial concepts of the logo which I was mostly scribbling during my Uni classes.
One more random tidbit is that I based the background of their journey home from the Toad's Turnpike track in Mario Kart 64. I really loved that game and it holds a lot of childhood memories for me so the nostalgia felt fitting. Maybe that's too weird to mention!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Towards the end I was concepting the protagonists of Hurricane Lane and 256 Postcards Ago meeting in a connecting rpgmaker game but sadly that never came to be. I'll talk about it more in my thread for the next book though!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I also made a little soundtrack for my book here
1) Kiara 2) Cornflake Girl 3) Indaco 4) La Valse D'Amelie 5) 春よ、来い (kites) 6) The Heart Asks Pleasure First 7) Lotus (dragon hunters) 8) Nightbook 9) Reverie 10) Hurricane
Tumblr media
I listened to these songs a lot while reading and the final track inspired the title.
And final last tidbit- Hurricane Lane takes place in my childhood hometown. It doesn't have too many standout locations but I took photos for background references and anyone who lives there may recognize the small nods to it.
Tumblr media
(Almost forgot links to where you can read my book) Amazon paperback; https://amazon.com/dp/1475009097 eBook; https://frayedsymphony.gumroad.com/l/LuNug
Thanks for reading!

Haha this is horrible
Tumblr media
This era mikey ^
Mikey way × reader
First fanfiction after my deleted ones lol
he/him reader, slightly? enemies to lovers, Ray Toro's younger brother and their newest guitarist
summary: You and Mikey hate each other but it changes ig
you never knew why you hated him, he didn't know why he hated you, it just… happened?
Ever since you were young you looked up to Ray, despite being his taller, younger brother, he was so interested in music, so you became indulged in the subject too, learning guitar. It took a while, but you became a pretty good guitarist. As you and Ray grew older, you found friends and he found friends, both of your groups being majorly interested in music.
Gerard sipped on his drink and quickly sat up, hey Ray, you have a brother right?' Ray looked at him, concerned, and nodded slowly 'And he can play guitar?'
‘Where are you going with this?' Ray crossed his arms. Frank swung on his seat impatiently with his legs crossed.
‘Well I kinda want some more guitar for the background because I think it’d sound good and we’d need him urgently because we have our first show in 2 months, y/n will need practice and, like 800 people are coming!’
Ray thought for a second and nodded ‘yeah, I’m sure he’ll be willing to take up the offer’
Mikey looked up suddenly ‘WHAT, WE CAN’T JUST-‘ Gerard cut him off as Ray went up from the basement to see y/n. ‘Mikey c’mon I want another guitarist for the band! It’s too late anyway, y/n will be our new guitarist and you can’t do anything to stop that from happening!’
You came down with Ray happily, towering above all of them as frank looked up in awe at his short height of 4’8 (I’m pretty sure that was his height st the start of the band but idk, he was like 4’9 at the time of filming helena) Mikey rolled his eyes and stood up as everyone else did to begin practice. 
1 month went by and you were all eating lunch together, in silence. ‘So um, how are you all?’ Ray asked, trying to break the silence. ‘Shit’ you grumbled, ‘my head hurts, because I hit the door frame with my head because I forgot to duck’ you pouted. Mikey blushed, he thought the face you did was really cute but would never admit it in a million years. Frank laughed and Gerard giggled a bit. ‘Idiot’ Mikey rolled his eyes. ‘Oh shut up’ you did a grumpy, sassy teenager face at him (I hope you understand what I mean 😭) it went silent again and you caught Mikey looking at you so you stuck out your tongue at him. 
‘Bitch’ he rolled his eyes again and you flipped him off ‘why did they even let you in the band?, you’re so annoying’ honestly, it kinda hurt you but you knew you were annoying so you didn’t comment on it, you just continued eating, trying to annoy him slightly. It kind of worked but then you all just carried on with your day.
It was the day of the show and more people had ended up coming, a total of around 5,000 people were there and you were getting kinda scared, but you had a couple drinks and the fear vanished, you were sober enough to play, but you knew you’d do some things you may regret later on. 
The show began and Gee spoke to the crowd as you guys began playing the beginning of the first song, vampires will never hurt you. 
A few songs later you had the stupid idea to kiss Mikey. You held the side of Mikey’s cheek gently and the crowd went wild, Gerard got confused and looked at both of you and then so did Ray. The song ended and neither of you noticed, the only sounds were coming from the crowd screaming. You put both hands on Mikey’s face and smashed your lips against his, he wrapped his arms around your neck and you slipped yours around his waist. Ray was gonna murder him, but you looked so cute together, he couldn’t lie. You both broke the kiss and you smirked at him, kissing him again and biting his bottom lip whilst both swaying from side to side on your feet slightly. Gerard was making stupid comments the whole time with frank and Ray only stared angrily, his brother was making out with one of his best friends?! ON STAGE! You and Mikey stopped kissing and Mikey nodded at Gerard to begin the next song.
After the show you all went to a club and you got dared to drink a whole bottle of whiskey, you didn’t end up finishing it but you did end up telling Mikey you loved him, making out with Mikey once again and throwing up in the toilet and having to get carried back to ‘the Way house’ by Mikey, not that he minded, you looked so adorable when you were sleeping(/passed out 😭). 
You ended up waking up while it was still night and everyone was about to get into bed, including the owner of whoever’s bed you were laying in right now. ‘Hey y/n-‘ ‘wait is this your bed Mikey?!’ You looked at it in disgust though you didn’t actual mind the fact that it was his one bit, in fact, you were pleased it was his bed. ‘Yeah, but I have a question’ he stood awkwardly (that cute stand where his legs face each other 😭) and then came to sit by you on the bed. 
‘umm, when you said you loved me, did- did you actually like… mean it?’ He looked around the room whilst biting his lip, waiting for you to say no. You grabbed him and pulled him next to you, holding him tight, ‘yeah’ your answer was slightly muffled from the fact your face was buried in his chest. He hugged you back and you both fell asleep.
In the morning.
‘Sleep well guys?’ Gerard smirked as you and Mikey came into the kitchen whilst holding hands. Ray and frank both looked at you, Ray was looking at you and Mikey ‘evily’ while frank also smirked with Gerard. You turned and put your head on Mikey tiredly as he hugged you ‘shut up Gee.’
The end
I’m so bad at writing fanfic sorry, this is so crap 😭 I loved this idea, I just didn’t make this very well, I have no clue on how to write a quality fanfic, but y’know it’s a good scenario to daydream about?
💀👍

Can you write a Ryan Dunn x Male! Reader where Ryan and the Reader are staying up late and decide to have a nice little dance party together
Sure thing! I hope you like it! :)
LATE NIGHT DANCE PARTY - RYAN DUNN X MALE!READER
Characters: Ryan Dunn, Male!Reader
Warnings: light alcohol use, cursing
Contains: Ryan being a pretty fun dude
It was a warm summer night and whilst all the rest of the Jackass cast and crew had left for the night, only Y/N L/N remained along with his best friend Ryan Dunn. Ryan and Y/N met during the filming of the first movie. Y/N had just joined the crew as a camera man and was having a hard time communicating with the other Jackass members, mostly because they were so intimidating to him. Ryan on the other hand was what some would say a softie for the boy. The two men became fast friends, especially once they both learned they had the same sense of sarcastic humor.
Ryan and Y/N had just gone up to the roof to enjoy the nice warm weather and look at the night sky, a small cooler full of beer and a boombox with them. Y/N always did like to have music playing in the background. It didn't matter what was going on. He just loved it. Ryan didn't mind it either.
The two men sat in silence for a few minutes, just sipping their beers with the sounds of classic rock playing softly in the background. Y/N didn't mind the quiet. Him and Ryan had been talking and goofing off all night. Apparently, that wasn't enough for Ryan as he sighed and stood to his feet, half empty beer bottle still in hand. Y/N looked at him, a confused expression on his face. Ryan rolled his eyes and shook his hand at his best friend.
"Come on, get up."
Y/N heaved himself up off the roof tiles and watched as Ryan turned the music up before throwing his bottle to the ground. It wasn't until Ryan started dancing around that Y/N understood what was happening.
When the two men first started hanging out they'd have late night dance sessions and what not every once in a while when they weren't in the mood to talk. A large smile filled Y/N's face as he started messing around with Ryan. The two laughed the whole time, missing when they used to do this on a regular basis.
There wasn't a specific style of dance they were doing. They were just having fun and would change it up for each song. For one it was just them looking like they were having seizures and for the next they were participating in horrible ballroom dancing.
It felt like they were up there for hours, and they probably were. Ryan took Y/N's hand and spun him around on the rooftop, careful to not let him fall or get hurt. Short brakes were taken in between songs so they wouldn't get too tired out. And even if they did neither of them would mind because they were with each other.
It wasn't until the sun started coming up that Y/N decided they should probably call it quits. Ryan agreed and they both helped to clean up the roof and the surrounding areas before heading inside to go to sleep. Y/N tossed Ryan his spare clothes that were always kept at his house for moments like these. The two friends changed in silence before getting into bed. Neither man had any problem with sharing the same bed. They'd been close friends for years.
As Y/N shuffled around to get comfortable Ryan spoke up. "We need to do this more often. I missed this."
Y/N sighed lightly and nodded, eyes heavy. "Yeah. It was fun. Maybe we can make it a regular thing like we used to."
After those words were spoken, the two cuddled up under the blankets and fell asleep together, worn out from all the dancing they'd done on the rooftop.
Sorry this took me a couple days to write. I couldn't really think of a good idea for this one, so it definitely isn't one of my best works. It's also way shorter than I'd like it to be so I may re-write it if something better comes to me. I hope it's not too bad though.

cw // mentions of death, dec 18th and just normal things that happens in my dreams 😭
now if you think that dream was traumatising, wait until you hear about this-
about few months ago, i literally had to sit down in a movie theatre to watch jinki skipping around in a place filled with sweets (such as lollipops, etc), butterflies and other animals whilst him literally being BUTT NAKED with his fucking balls dangling down and loud happy music (that you would hear in a youtube video in 2012) playing in the background. everything seemed so weirdly happy until he came across a naked victoria (yes the one from f(x) - i wish i was kidding) and they started skipping together.
yes, this may sound “wholesome” now, but it gets worse-
as they were doing the patty cake with each other, some random animal creatures leaned in and ATE victoria from the head. yeah… as they were both screaming, the “happy music” started getting distorted to the point where it was getting creepier and creepier-
but it gets worse-
as jinki was running away, that weird ass creature decided instead of killing him, it just spanked his ass and then laughed. then suddenly everyone was happy and the film ended.
everything was black and i remembered that very moment i just felt so weird after what i had seen. like- i just witnessed victoria getting killed, jinki getting his ass spanked and now everybody was happy and with rainbows and sunshine in the background.
no… this wasn’t the end, and it gets worse-
when i left the theatre, the world was exactly like the film and instead of it being all happy and cheerful, everything was dead. i saw victoria’s dead body on the floor as well as jinki’s arm since when i found him screaming out of pure terror, he was missing an arm.
i literally saw the rest of shinee and f(x) and they were all dead. probably the rest of sm town was dead but i haven’t saw any of them except mark and chen. also, yes they were all naked.
(note: i wasn’t sure if i saw jonghyun or not so take this as a grain of salt)
i woke up so confused, but not surprised. you know why? i always have these weird fucked up dreams! like i want a normal weird dream and not like thisssssss
also my little sister has the same problem too. she once had a dream where she saw jonghyun waving at her so they did the run (you know so you could spin around whilst hugging) and as he was coming to her, a van literally hit him and he died. well… at least that was what she thought happened.
at the time she was only 10 and had been getting a lot of dreams like that ever since… you know- so she would start crying every time and i would had to comfort her. now if you ask her about it, she’ll probably laugh since they seemed like parodies of the show happy tree friends. also yes, there was gore so- take that as you will 😭
but yea she pretty much had a dream RIGHT after (that date) where jonghyun was about to go home and after they finished waving at each other and saying their goodbyes, jonghyun crosses the road and gets hit by a bus.
and then another one where he got ran over by 2 yellow school buses, then a train and then a bus that had shinee’s logo in it like it was their tour bus-
nah i think you get the point. runs in the family. 😌😉
I have question for the Onew in your dream world. Clearly living his best life for the most part but like is he okay. Last dream I had about Onew he was just complaining about Minho to Chanyeol. But he is apart of a whole different planet in your dreams. I want to study him. Everything else sounds absolutely terrifying, like kind of a nightmare. And as for both of you and your sister's dreams it could be that sometimes dreams is your way of processing everything that happens in the 3d or what's going on in your subconscious or just things you think about a lot. Dreams are just your brain working through all of that at night and the scary Jonghyun dreams are probably just your brain trying to process it all. But Im sure when Jonghyun gives you good warm feelings in your dreams it's him checking in once in awhile.

On-Set Production
Critical Reflection - Critique of Process
I learned a lot this semester in terms of sound recording, considering I had never taken on this role before the first on-set production class. I was the sound recordist for 2 films this semester which included shooting filmed rehearsals and the final 4-minute films (‘Calculated Affection’ and ‘Closing Night’). 
I was unable to attend the recce for ‘Closing Night’ (CN) as at this point, I was not part of the crew to be working on the film, however, I was at the recce for ‘Calculated Affection’ (CA). I can definitely see the differences in on set experience as a result of this. For CN I was able to anticipate any background noise issues I may have when shooting, including, fridge noise and noise of customers and staff in the upstairs bar area. However, with CN I found more issues on set which could have been fixed prior to filming to save time, for example, buzzing noises coming from speakers which was getting picked up on all mics and could’ve had a solution established before arriving to set for filming.
Another aspect of sound recording I could focus on during pre-production included mic placement, primarily boom, but also lav mics. Although placement of the boom mic cannot be finalised until you are on set and ready to shoot, I found it helpful to look at blocking plans, shot lists and reflect on my experiences from the rehearsals. By understanding frame sizes, camera movements and shadows from these documents/ experiences, I was able to think on my feet better on-set and find places to boom from much faster and find better solutions which wouldn’t be a compromise to the recordings. 
I believe the creative intentions of each of these films were supported by the sound recording. As much as there isn’t much sound recording can do in terms of altering the creative intention very noticeably, I believe I did well in supporting the creative vision to make these films as realistic in their worlds as possible, with clear, consistent dialogue and real, on-set atmos tracks.
I also believe my file management was successful. I took detailed sound reports on set and labelled my files with the respective project file name allocated by the post-production teams. 
I communicated well with all departments on both sets, taking into consideration camera, narrative and performance at all times. I was able to effectively communicate any issues or alternative ideas when needed. One aspect which I would like to have put more effort into would be recording more wild tracks and location spot effects for the edit to add to the realism instead of the designer using sound libraries. Whilst wild tracks were discussed on both sets it was the directors and 1st ADs who decided against this in favour of saving time on-set.
I really enjoyed these projects and my first experiences of being a sound recordist, I got good feedback from my crews and intend to pursue this role in the future.

Note: I am incorrectly credited in 'Calculated Affection' as Production Designer, where I was actually On-Set Sound Recordist.

MIXTAPE #3 (08/08/22)
Spring Released - Grant-Lee Phillips
Album: Mobilize
Year: 2001
Track: Album Track
Whenever I’m at home, I cannot have silence. It stresses me out. It’s eerie and scary and you can hear every little sound and it means something’s wrong - at least in my mind. So whenever I’m just at home chilling, I’ll put on a show, just to have some noise in the background. Whilst in Australia, the show that filled this role for me was Gilmore Girls, a show I had watched through properly some years prior. Whilst rewatching the show, I once again enjoyed the humour and witting writing of the series, but I was struck by just how fantastic the show’s taste in music is. I covered roughly the first two seasons in Australia, and in those 40ish episodes, they played tracks by XTC, Beck, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Big Star - in fact, that was just one episode. This track by Grant-Lee Phillips - who also has a recurring role on the show as the town troubadour - was one I discovered during this rewatch.
-
Achin’ to Be - The Replacements
Album: Don’t Tell a Soul
Year: 1989
Track: Single (Release Unsure: 1989)
I previously mentioned listening to The Idiot by Iggy Pop whilst unable to sleep at 5am. Well, after finishing that album I still couldn’t sleep, so I moved onto this one. I’d previously heard several Replacements albums, and for my money, they’re one of the most underrated rock bands I know of. Lead singer Paul Westerberg writes nearly every Replacements track - either alone or with others - and he imbues every song with a refreshing and beautiful honesty, be it about his love for Big Star’s Alex Chilton, or about the concept of androgyny. This track is a dreamy track about the struggle of being a creative, the fear of putting your work out there and of having it be understood and appreciated, and for that reason, it really connected with me.
-
Life During Wartime - Talking Heads
Album: Fear of Music
Year: 1979
Track: Single (Post-Release: 1979)
This was one of the many albums I listened to on my flight home from Australia, and definitely my favourite of the bunch, as well as my favourite Talking Heads album. I know most people would say Remain In Light, and it may have a higher high in the form of Once In a Lifetime, but Fear of Music just has so many memorable and diverse tracks, from the African-inspired dance track I Zimbra, to the unusually serene ballad Heaven, and to this track, which I would describe as Double Dash-esque. Genuinely, the start of this song reminds me so much of a certain part in the music for Mushroom Bridge, it’s all I can think about when I start listening to this song. Plus, I’m a massive, obsessive Mario Kart fan - the day the Booster Course Pass Wave 2 trailer came out, I made my girlfriend watch it with me three times.
-
You Never Loved Me - Aimee Mann
Album: Mental Illness
Year: 2017
Track: Album Track
A long distance relationship is hard, and since leaving my beloved in Australia and arriving home, I’ve felt quite down. And when I feel quite down, it’s time to throw on the Sad Boy Mix. If you were wondering what’s on that playlist, I’ll confirm that yes, The Smiths, Radiohead and Sufjan Stevens all feature, as does this track by Aimee Mann, another artist that I feel is underappreciated. Despite her acoustic female singer-songwriter sound - a sound that has made Phoebe Bridgers so popular - and her witty lyrics, despite her collaborations with Elvis Costello, despite being the inspiration for the film Magnolia and then despite almost winning a Grammy for her work on said film, Mann has never quite managed mainstream appeal, which I truly do not understand. This album was one I listened to during my real first real big heartbreak, and this song just hits so incredibly hard whilst you’re in that post-breakup mindset.
-
In the Hanging Gardens - Pinkshinyultrablast
Album: Miserable Miracles
Year: 2018
Track: Single (Pre-Release: 2017)
When discovering new music, often I’ll go and listen to full albums that have been recommended to me by either my friends, my girlfriend or some chart I downloaded off of /mu/, but sometimes it’s nice to have a mix of new stuff and old stuff and popular stuff and niche stuff, and so to that end, I threw together a mix of three different Spotify generated playlists for me to listen to, mostly whilst playing Valorant with my girlfriend and her friends. I combined “my life is a movie”, “sad girl starter pack” and “Shoegaze Classics” into a 21 hour playlist that I have dubbed, “a bit sad, a bit dreamy, a bit girly”. Whilst listening to said playlist, I was struck by this apparent shoegaze classic (which is am not sure it qualifies for, having been released around only five years ago), which is just a very fun shoegaze track with some excellent vapourwave-esque synth. Interestingly, the band is Russian, which I did not expect, having heard the song.
-
Hey Julianne - The Kickstand Band
Album: standalone single
Year: 2021
Track: Single
I’ve recently completed a Film degree at uni (with a first, no less!) and this past week, I’ve been working on having one of my projects broadcast on regional television. However, this has been a massive ballache, due to the fact that my sound guy - who was an incompetant tumour on the project during production - never bothered to licence out any of the music, meaning we’ve got montages that are dead silent, and radios that play no music. My editor and I have been scurrying about, reaching out to Bandcamp and Soundcloud artists, including this band, The Kickstand Band, whom I first discovered through an XTC tribute album, which featured their excellent cover of “Life Begins at the Hop”. I began listening to their own written material afterwards, and out of all of it, this single from last year was my favourite, and it is just such a lovely, catchy, upbeat, summer tune. Fingers crossed we can use it in our project!
-
The Loving - XTC
Album: Oranges & Lemons
Year: 1989
Track: Single (Post-Release: 1979)
Speaking of XTC, they have got to be my favourite band of all time. Their 1986 album, Skylarking, is my favourite album of all time. And due to having listened through to all their material, again and again, for many years, I haven’t been listening to them all that much recently. But recently, I was listening to my playlist on shuffle, and heard this track come up, and I was instantly reminded of why I love XTC so much - the playful, joyful psychedelic sounds, as well as Andy Partridge’s voice and clever lyrics. I chose this track for the mixtape this week, simply because it was the one that happened to come on at random, but if I were to pick, say, my favourite track off of this album, I would be so completely torn - Garden of Earthly Delights, Mayor of Simpleton, King for a Day, Poor Skeleton Steps Out and this track would all be options. Sincerely, to anyone reading this (if anyone is), please check out some XTC - start with their singles compilation Fossil Fuel if you’d like, but definitely give all of Skylarking a listen - the whole thing is so beautiful and sweet and clever and cohesive and agh, I love it so much.

Tinder in Real Life
Pairings: Harry Lewis x fem!Reader, Sidemen x platonic!Reader Word Count: 2k Warnings: Language some people may find offensive, sexual themes, recycled lines from Sidemen Tinder in Real Life because I'm not at all creative Request: Hey! Could you do reader x Harry imagine where the sidemen do a collab video with the reader who is also a big youtuber and Harrys celebrity crush. And during the video the reader is very flirty, leaving Harry a flustered mess when the flirting is directed towards him, but very jealous when its with any other sidemen.
The Sidemen were one of the biggest groups on YouTube and one that you were very familiar with. At the age of 23, you were a fair bit younger than some of its oldest members but yet you had a close relationship with JJ, whom you had met through YouTube.
You had started your channel when you were 17, just under four years ago, making makeup videos, which was a passion of yours when you were younger. Not that you were any good at it back then. Those videos quickly become unlisted when your channel started blowing up in late 2016, now nearing 20 million at the present time.
It wasn't long before you expanded your horizons and had started making different sorts of videos, including vlogs of your everyday life - which wasn't and still isn't that exciting in your opinion - and those where you just had a laugh, attempting to do stupid challenges that were so popular back then. It was those, however, that grew your channel. Your fans seemed to love them and so you gradually started to make more.
As your small channel began to grow significantly, it caught the attention of KSI, a member of the Sidemen, who reached out to you to for a collab. You were ecstatic. You couldn't believe it at the time, why would someone like KSI with 20 million subscribers want to collaborate with you? By that time, you couldn't exactly call yourself a small channel anymore, with almost 5 million subscribers but it still didn't make any sense to you.
You and JJ quickly bonded after filming together. You had a very similar sense of humour and interests. As the years went, the older boy became one of your best friends, the nature of your relationship being very teasing and flirtatious but the both of you knew it was a joke. It was just the way you both were.
Though despite having known him for nearing 3 years now, you had never met the rest of the Sidemen, with the exception of Simon, as he lived with JJ. Which is why when he texted asking you to collaborate with the Sidemen, you couldn't turn the offer down. You were a fan of the group and the content they were producing. You thought the videos that they made were exceptional, that they were pushing the envelope of the standard of content on YouTube and often found yourself excited for new videos.
He had explained that they were filming another of their 'Tinder in real life' but a YouTuber version with the likes of BambinoBecky and ChiWithAC. You were so excited. You were finally going to meet the rest of JJ's friends and you had the opportunity to be a part of a Sidemen Sunday.
Tumblr media
You arrived at the studio the boys were filming at in the afternoon, finding and greeting JJ before he introduced you to the other sidemen in addition to Lux, Freezy and Stephen.
"And you've already met Simon." He finished.
"Yeah. Nice to finally meet you all. JJ tells me a lot about you guys." You laughed.
"Because that's assuring." Ethan pointed out with a chuckle, the other boys letting out agreements.
"Not all bad, I promise." You teased, winking at him. Ethan felt the blood rushing to his face, immediately becoming flustered and stumbling over his words. You found that you often had that effect on people as you could be very direct and flirtatious even when you didn't mean it. To you it was just friendly banter.
"Geez Y/N, stop flirting with people you met literally five minutes ago." JJ rolled his eyes.
"You sound a bit jealous, Jide." You smirked, a teasing grin spread across your face.
"Nah, allow it." There were eruptions of laughter around the room, coming from the boys. You were quick to notice Harry standing out of the way and was significantly quieter than the others, with what seemed to be a forced smile on his face.
Harry was in his own head, barely paying attention to what was going on around him. When JJ had told him that you were going to be in the next Sidemen video, he panicked. You were an accomplished YouTuber who he was quite fond of to say the least. Well, that would be an understatement, he had a fairly large crush on you. A crush that no one but Freezy and Lux knew about.
He knew that JJ had been friends with you for some time now but never considered the possibility of even meeting you. His anxiety acted as a barrier to even the thought of it. But he was currently in the same room as you and had said nothing more than a short 'hello'. He longed to have the confidence Ethan had to speak to you, even more so for you to look at him the way you were.
Already you were flirting with JJ and Ethan, something that caused a pit to form at the bottom of his stomach. He wouldn't admit it, but he could slowly feel the jealousy forming. Not that he had anything to be jealous about in the first place!
You continued to speak with the boys as you got your mic set up, telling them stories you were sure would embarrass JJ.
"Y/N, stop." The older boy whined. He could be like a child sometimes, but it was one of his more endearing qualities. He simply wouldn't be JJ if he wasn't.
"No, carry on." Simon laughed.
"Oh, don't worry, there's plenty more where that came from." You teased.
"I think it's time we started, don't you think?" Harry grumbled.
"Right." You smiled at the boy, who's cheeks became tinted red. He ducked to hide his face and walked around to stand in the line, hiding himself in the middle.
"Hi, I'm Y/N, I'm 23 and I'm from Y/H/T." You spoke to the camera once you were given the go ahead.
"I'm Simon, I'm 28. I like to practice safe sex."
"Always a good start."
"I could tie you to the bed, so you don't fall off." He finished with a giggle. You acted like you were pondering it for a moment before letting out a laugh and swiping right.
"I'm down for that." You teased. The boys all let out rumbles of laughter
"Hi, I'm Ethan, I'm 26 and kiss me if I'm wrong, but you're gonna swipe right."
"What would you rather?" You joked. Ethan shrugged his shoulders and walked closer to the board, sticking his head through with his lips puckered, eliciting a cry of protest from Harry that this wasn't allowed. You laughed and made an over exaggerated motion to swipe to the right, causing him to pout playfully but walked over to the right anyway.
"Hi, I'm Josh, I'm 28. KSI has a top ten single, but you're the only hot single I can see."
"Wow, that was smooth!" You said with a grin. "Definite yes from me."
"I'm Callum, I'm 26. Are you into fitness?" Freezy asked.
"Can't say I am." You replied, unsure of what turn this could take.
"How about you fitness dick in your mouth?"
"I wouldn't get too excited babes, I gag on my toothbrush." You laughed. "We could try though."
You swiped right on him, chuckling as you watched him let out a yes before joining Simon, Ethan, and Josh. You frowned slightly, a crease forming between your brows as you saw Harry whisper something furiously at his friend but ultimately got distracted by Vik stepping up to go next.
"I'm Vik, I'm 25. My ex-girlfriend always said I'd never do better than her, wanna prove her right?" You could hear the cries of the boys in the background, some scolding him, others laughing.
"Man actually said prove her right. Not wrong." JJ shrieked with a shocked look on his face, holding his head with his hands.
"You need to find someone for that." You snarked, swiping left on the boy, who shrugged and walked off.
"Damn! You got told!" Lux cackled.
"Uh hi. I'm Harry. I'm uh 25, no I'm not I'm 24." He stumbled. "Are you sure you're a muggle? Because that ass is magical."
"You should see how magical it can be." You spoke before cringing at yourself and laughing, swiping right to avoid a reply. The boy's face grew a bright shade of red, closely resembling the colour of a tomato.
"Geez, is that an offer?!" Freezy yelled from the right side. You laughed, observing how Harry whispered furiously to the boy to stop and winked at him once he had could see. Your laughter only increased as you watched JJ step up.
"I'm JJ. I'm 28 and are you a raisin? Cause you're raising my dick." The boy in question stood in front of you so confidently, hands clasped together in front of him so seriously that you just lost it. By the time you composed yourself, there were tears almost falling from your eyes.
"A* for effort." You laughed, swiping right eliciting a cry of success.
Tumblr media
You had wrapped up filming your segment of the video, which conveniently was the last of the day. You found JJ who you spoke to whilst the other boys were otherwise occupied talking to each other.
"Cheers for coming, Y/N/N. You've been great."
"Anything for you." You joked.
"Don't tempt me." He laughed. You could feel eyes on you, eyes that were burning into your side. You turned your head to see Harry staring you and JJ down before looking away after being caught in the act, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"Does Harry not like me or something?" You whispered to JJ, feeling self-conscious all of a sudden.
"Not that I know of." He frowned looking at the younger boy. "He can be a bit awkward at times and gets flustered a lot."
"Right." You agreed. You excused yourself before sauntering up to the boy in question, calling his name to snap him out of the daze he appeared to be in.
"Oh, um hey Y/N." He stumbled.
"Hi." You smiled gently. "I uh, I was just wondering, do you... have I done something to offend you?"
"Offend me? Why, uh, why would you think that?" He rambled.
"It's just... it's nothing, it's probably just me overthinking things." You waved it off, feeling like a complete idiot.
"I'm sorry if I gave you the impression that I don't like you. I don't not like you, in fact I really like you! Oh, um I mean I like you, you're very pretty." The boy couldn't stop rambling which made you laugh. "No, wait."
"You think I'm pretty?" You blushed interrupting him. Harry felt his mouth go dry, not being able to get anything coherent to come out. "Well, Harry, I really like you too."
"What?" His eyebrows shot up so far it was almost comical. "Really? So, you don't like the other guys?"
"What? No." You laughed. "That's absurd. Why would you think that?"
"You seemed very..." The boy trailed off, not wanting to offend you after you had admitted to liking him.
"Flirty?" You finished, causing him to nod. "I'm like that with everyone, I don't mean to be half the time."
"Oh."
"Well, how about you give me your phone number and when you finally grow a pair, you can ask me out?" Your confidence levels had shot up spontaneously.
"Uh, sure." His cheeks had become a dark shade of red as he passed his phone to you so you could put your number in. You kept looking up at him as you typed, putting your name under 'Y/N x' in his contacts before handing it back to him.
"Y/N! Come on! We're going to Nando's!" JJ called from the other side of the room.
"Call me." You winked. Your bottom lip was caught between your teeth and was currently the only thing from stopping the wide grin from spreading across your face. A grin that hadn't disappeared from your face for the rest of the day, much to the curiosity of JJ, who was disappointed when you refused to tell him why, or more appropriately who, had put the smile on your face.

the great adventures of y/n tommy wilbur and george - the water olympics
requested:yes/no
part 9 to the great adventures series
warnings: cursing, a suicide joke (the one george made in the vlog)
you were currently sat in your bedroom editing a video for your youtube channel however someone had different plans as you heard your parents talking to someone telling them you were in your room and that they could go straight up
“Y/N ITS ME CAN I COME IN”
you laughed before getting up placing your laptop on your desk before opening your door letting your friend inside.
“what is it with people randomly showing up where I live”
“ill have you know I asked your parents”
“Pfft yeah okay Tommy sure you did. anyway I’m glad you’re here editing was beginning to make me want to throw my laptop”
“you are honestly so dramatic pass us your laptop I’ll edit for you if you let me stay the night as it’s about to rain”
“you brought a backpack with you...you clearly planned on staying the night anyway but yes it’s a deal”
Tommy laughed before sitting on your bed waiting for you to bring the laptop over and sit next to him keeping him entertained as he edits for you. it was around late afternoon when he finished editing the video and you spent the entire time telling him about your merch plans and getting the sizes and items he’s going to want as you were planning on sending him some when you’ve agreed on a final design and products
“all done I want full credit for editing”
“hey I edited like a whole 3 minutes of the video..fine fine just stop staring at me like that”
the two of you realised it was a little late and neither of you wanted to cook anything so decided to go to a local restaurant. a few hours later you arrived back home it was pretty late now so your parents had gone to bed so you had to keep reminding each other not to yell, once in your room the pair of you collapsed onto your bed, you rolled over to face Tommy
“So why are you actually here huh, what’s going on in that mind of yours”
“I know it’s short notice but tomorrow afternoon would you like to go to this inflatable water course with me will and George”
“I don’t have anything else to do so I’d be more than happy to come with you guys what time do we need to be awake, we may as well set an alarm now in case we fall asleep as I tend to sleep in really late”
“I’ve got it don’t worry about it”
Tommy set an alarm as you logged into Disney plus so you and Tommy could watch tv for a while before deciding on sleeping arrangements, you put on the good dinosaur and instantly regret that decision as you began ranting to Tommy about how the films depressing. soon enough the pair of you fell asleep.
at 9 am Tommy's alarm went off waking the pair of you up
“y/n get up we’re going to a lake”
“Okay okay I’m up”
Tommy went to the bathroom to get ready so you could get ready in your room a few minutes later you both made your way downstairs grabbing a snack you could eat whilst you waited for your taxi to arrive. the pair of you arrived at the lake first, George arrived next and that’s when you noticed Wilbur show up and George beginning to record what’s happening
“Tommy is he wearing a suit?” you tilted your head to the left as Wilbur stepped out of the car
“it worked George”
“Why are you wearing a suit?”
“for the meal”
“we’re not doing the restaurant”
your eyes widened and you tried to hide your laughter as Tommy said he couldn’t change as he only hired three wetsuits, you all made your way to get your wetsuits, Wilbur reluctantly following you all as soon as you all stepped in several people began to stare at you all
“they’re staring at me because I’m wearing a suit”
George laughed before telling him it could also be because your hair was awfully similar to a highlight. you lightly hit his shoulder before rolling your eyes
“rude”
you laughed as you went away to get changed returning a few moments later
“I’m ready boys oh they gave will a life jacket”
“Why do you sound so disappointed”
“you not a fan of drowning then?”
“no, I’m not!”
Tommy grabbed your hand and ran towards the water before jumping in taking you down with him
“TOMMY I HATE YOU”
“HELP ME”
“NO SUFFER”
soon enough will and George made it onto the inflatable, Tommy tried to film his intro however the fact you and George were jumping in the background made it rather difficult. Tommy ran to Wilbur who pushed him into the water
“HA GET FUCKED”
you made your way across but saw Tommy in the water making you laugh which made you fall in the water too
“well hello again y/n”
“Hello Tommy funny seeing you here”
George managed to help you up whilst Wilbur pretended to help Tommy up before walking away. Tommy just held onto the inflatable whilst looking at you
“fine”
you reached your hand out and helped him back up onto the inflatable.
you made your way across the bridge Wilbur not far behind you so he could push Tommy off of the bridge into the water, he did but fell with him, you fell over laughing as George went to help Wilbur but ended up falling in himself. you George and Tommy ran to a high point of the course which will wanted you all successfully defended it and even managed to push will into the water. you and George weren’t the best at this course you had fallen three times and George fell twice
“look at them both”
Tommy turned around to see you and George in the water again as the pair of you fell once back on the inflatable you both made your way back to the others however George slipped and grabbed your arm trying to stay up ultimately dragging you down with him
“When is it my turn to be happy”
you all made your way to the canopy without falling, well that was until Tommy decided to lean on it causing it to fall into the water taking Tommy with it
“bye tom”
“he’s stuck save him”
“Nah this is funny”
Wilbur ended up helping him by making it so he could actually climb onto the inflatable
“you’re embarrassing us in front of the lifeguards”
you made your way across the course this time you didn’t fall as much as you did earlier on in the day, Wilbur went to push Tommy into the water again however this time you and George decided to get payback and attempted to side tackle him so he fell into the water
“bye will”
will finally got back onto the inflatable and pulled you aside
“We should form an alliance...I wouldn’t leave you behind”
“deal”
“When I say meet you there you start running the course I'll make sure you don’t fall”
“understood let’s do this”
you got ready to go as will told Tommy and George that the truces weren’t working and there was only one way to settle it
“meet you there”
you started running across the course you were doing surprisingly well, Wilbur only had to prevent you from falling once and that was because you lost balance over one obstacle
“I've got you! keep going”
eventually, you both turned around to see that Tommy and George finally set off and were making their way to you both
“we’re team weak..strong every day of the week”
you managed to contain your laughter as George fell as soon as Tommy said that
“we’ll be team pussy”
soon enough they caught up you and will went to push Tommy into the water however George snuck up behind you both and pushed you into the water
“ah yes water my good friend we meet again”
will helped you up first then you helped him up will noticed George fell and went to push him in the water whilst you made your way to Tommy
“I call this the leg turrent”
“you plan on doing this forever heh?”
you helped George back up whilst Wilbur tackled Tommy further down the course
“oh Tommy is still on the floor”
“what have you done to him”
you made your way to Tommy with George only to hear Tommy yell about the art of deception followed by a splash and Tommy's laughter. George got up to go get the drinks but fell again then stood up slowly turning to face you all
“that was called comedy.. I'll go get the drinks kills myself”
“the hydration is good”
“ah thanks, George you see I’ve personally been spending the majority of my time in the water”
Tommy ran over to you all then fell into the water making you all laugh followed by Wilbur telling him to complete the line about how many people are and are not subscribed to his vlog channel
“When did George fall into the water”
“How are you guys feeling for a race”
“I’m down”
“right you and George are going to run that way around, y/n and I will run this way and we’ll meet at the nub we fought for”
“winner gets to launch the other of that big floppy thing”
“GO”
Tommy and George ran off before you two however you and will made it to the nub before the others, mainly because neither of you fell and worked together.
“come across Tommy we will let you have the win if you make it across that”
Tommy ran at the bridge however he fell three quarters over the bridge
“oh fucking hell”
“he tried”
you and will helped Tommy up however George ran over
“George you’re ruining the moment” Wilbur pushed him over the edge into the water
“bye again George”
“let’s go back to the nub”
“I think me and y/n technically won”
“friends?”
“friends”
Tommy decided to shake hands with will and made you go over to him so he could give you a hug you stood with will filming Tommy for the outro you waved bye to Tommy as he fell a rather long distance into the water, once will stopped recording he pushed you into the water from the same height
“WILL I'M GOING TO KILL YOU”
once you all dried off and got ready you and Tommy made your way back to yours as it was late you agreed Tommy may as well stay the night again, the pair of you spent the night playing games together and arguing about who won the game you missed spending time with just Tommy and he missed spending time with you so you were both incredibly thankful he decided to come over to yours a few days earlier than expected.

Not neccesarily a request, but Porco would be the absolute blast to spend a quarantine lock down with. He would always find something creative to do with you and I stand by the headcannon that be can cook EXCEPTIONALLY well. Ya'll would be eating well. On top of it all, I mean look at him!? He's like a walking sex god. You guys could surely find something entertaining to do. If you get my gist.
“another lockdown with me, baby”
Tumblr media
pairing: porco galliard x female reader
cw: modern au, nsfw (shower sex), aftercare
word count: 1200+
a/n: sorry i made this into a headcanon cause i loved the idea sm
summary: in which you and porco spend another national lockdown together
↞ back to attack on titan masterlist
Tumblr media
You remember last lockdown, being confined for 6 months just going on with work on team meetings and having girls night at home.
Yeah, well last time you had Porco with you and it was horrific.
2 months into your relationship you both ended up moving in with each other.
It was Porco’s idea as the idea of not seeing you every day broke him into pieces.
Imagine his little face for a week asking you to move in for hours on end, baby just wants to spend time with his fave girl.
Last lockdown, you both were a fresh new couple. This time, after a year together, it was a lot different. Your dynamic had been made and you both had a routine; he was still the same cocky bastard though.
He’d give such a smug look after hearing another national lockdown was happening, gleaming out a “another lockdown with me, baby”.
Lie ins, lie ins, lie ins, you both worked from home now and had daily meetings after midday. This boy will hold onto you for dear life and will never let you go.
Makes breakfast for you every day, he’s actually a decent cook because he loves food more than he loves you (he’d never tell you that though).
Will give you back massages from the strain of hunching your back in meetings. 
Boys a sweetie.
I know this man would see your bag on any online store and just buy it, he watched how easily you bought stuff last lockdown and now he’s the one buying it for you. Will add other clothes he likes, especially lingerie that he wants you to wear.
Workout who? The most you two do is go on a daily walk after dinner but that is literally it.
Movie nights and just cuddling in general, adorable boys just like you in their arms.
You both have separate nights a week where you have some wine/beer with your friends, he’ll stay in the living room and you in the bedroom, catching up with your own friends.
Definitely have a group call with your mutual friends and play drinking games to let loose.
With spare time, there's one thing that increases with both your alone time.
Sex everywhere, early morning kisses down your neck to the top of your underwear. Shower sex, bending you over whilst you make breakfast for him, before work calls, he’d fuck you and after work calls, he’d have these grabby hands to grab your tits.
This man just missed not seeing them for the two hour call you were both on, will put his head under your shirt and suck on them whilst he takes your jeans off. 
Late night sex, before dinner, just as you’re getting into bed. This man will wake you up at 3am after having a wet dream about you and want to fuck you.
His favourite was shower sex, he’d find himself joining you in the shower. He’d act like he came to wash your hair and body, but one slip of his finger and he began to rub against your clit.
Another rough hand against your mouth and his cock just happened to become hard and rub against your ass.
He will push you into the cold tiles and fuck you senseless, boy loves hearing the moans and soft whimpers you give. The water falling onto your back as his mouth goes to your breasts. Sucking as he slides back and forth with his cock pushing you to your limits.
Hearing you moan his name makes this man go wild, he just loves the sound of his name from your tongue. Will thrust even harder trying to hit every spot in you, this leads to you easily gushing onto his cock. 
Cum on sight, at seeing you cum he will cum back and you become dirtier than you did before you entered the shower. Baby will help you wash up though he may be horny, but he is a sweetie.
“We should do this every day.” He had just finished cleaning the cum from your body, the sweat that had etched onto your skin and the burning sensation away from your cunt. His smooth hands ran across your bare wet body, admiring you like a piece of artwork.
You leant against his body, giving a tired murmur back, “everyday, yeah…”
He laughed at how dull and tired your eyes looked, quickly grabbing the towel and helping you out. His own around his hips loosely, one action and he’d be free to you again, he helped to bring you out of the shower, holding your sore body with a gentle hand. “Couple more steps baby.” 
He left soft kisses against your shoulder as he directed you to the bedroom, he knew you'd be tired to dry your hair and your skin routine. Deciding to let you sit on the bed, he smiled at how you looked dazed almost high, perfect for him. “This one or this one.” He takes out clothes for you to sleep in, but you give a mumble of a third option.
“Your stuff.” He happily obliged grabbing his shirt and your underwear to put on you, you happily lifted your arms letting him put the shirt on before he softly lifted your legs. Small kisses going against your thighs, he was always so tender afterwards, so careful to not hurt you. 
“Let’s dry your hair and put some cream on and then we can cuddle, okay?”
“Okay baby.” You gleamed out watching as he got the hairdryer and easily moved along the bed to dry each part, he had worn some joggers having given you the shirt he was going to wear. His bare back hitting your back as he shuffled around you, he hummed a soft song that you could barely recognise but it soothed you.
“Sleep.” You whined out wanting to feel Porco’s arms around you as you watched some film you could fall asleep too.
“One more step, I know you’re tired, baby.” He put the hairdryer away, grabbing the moisturiser he knew you used. Taking some in his fingers he massages your face giving you a giggle.
You smiled as he rubbed the cream across your face, “my turn.” You pouted, he gave a soft smile, his blonde hair moving to both sides of his head. He passed the cream as you took some in your fingers putting it on his nose. You giggled at the white spots around his face before circling your fingers through it. 
“My skin better be glowing tomorrow.” He joked out as you chuckled at him, you moved backwards, finally reaching to the pillows as you felt it against your head.
Porco smiled seeing how you got under the covers in an instant. He quickly put some random show on, wanting background noise as he joined you in bed. “Come ‘ere.” He beckoned, making you lie beside him, his hand moving to your waist and others moving to cup your chest. 
“I love you.” You spoke slowly under the covers, he looked down to meet your small figure. The way you gave soft mewls at his action of massaging your right boob with his large hand.
“I love you too, baby.” He kissed the top of your head softly, watching how his love fell asleep.

⌗ SUMMARY — becoming a tiktoker was never apart of the plan, but here you are, 4 million followers and a love for pranking your boyfriend. 
. . ⇢ LUEURJUN’S NOTES — this is supposed to be gender neutral but if i slipped up at any point then i do sincerely apologise. this probably won’t be written the best, i was kinda sick and had a moment of inspiration. this is super fluffy and cheesy, so brace yourself. 
₊❏❜ WARNING ⋮ uh tears of joy?? i guess.
2021 @lueurjun.
i. 
THE 30TH APRIL 2020 was the day that your life changed in ways that you used to believe only happened in movies. 
Honestly, setting up your phone and telling your devilishly handsome, yet so pure, so innocent boyfriend that you wanted to have a child—whether that be adoption plans or getting pregnant—it was a small prank you decided to pull and film for your group chat. You never had any intentions of uploading it onto the internet, until Jay, one of your closest friends, suggested that you posted it to Tiktok. 
Jake was cool with it, having not expected it to blow up as much as it did. Nobody had expected for you to get over 2 million views and over 600k likes on your first video. Nor did you expect the heaps of requests in your comment section of different pranks to pull on your boyfriend. And that’s where it began. 
That one video was a rabbit hole into what quickly became your career. 
Now, with over 4 million followers, you have created your own little fan base, who have grown to love you, your boyfriend and even your friends that occasionally end up in your videos.
ii. 
The light in the kitchen flickered once as you set up your phone against a bunch of cookbooks that your parents had yet to read. Mentally, you made a note to ask one of your family members to change the bulb when they returned home. Focusing on your phone, which was now recording, you put your thumbs up and turned towards the door.
“JAEYUN!” Your voice echoed through the quiet home, bouncing off every wall until it met your boyfriend’s ears. Brief shuffling could be heard followed by the padding of feet across the floor boards. He was only in the next room, so it didn’t take long for him to appear right before your eyes. 
The first thing your eyes set on was the crinkles in his shirt, suggesting that he had been laying down. His dark hair was hidden beneath a black hat, which he had placed on his head backwards. He was dressed so simple, but you still managed to fall in love once again at the sight of him. You often wondered how you had managed to bag someone like Jake, he was the epitome of perfection and you couldn’t really see why he would want to be with you. Jake never let these thoughts ponder in your mind for too long, since he was always quick to prove to you that you’re everything to him. 
Secretly eyeing the camera, you put on a pout and fiddle with the hem of his shirt. Immediately, the alarm bells go off in Jake’s mind. You’re never normally this quiet and it’s rare to see you pout. He frowns a little, eyebrows knitting together as concern washes over his face. Using his index finger and his thumb, he lifts your chin and gently rubs the skin just below your lip.
“What’s the matter?” 
“I just- don’t get mad,” you begin, forcing yourself to sound sad. “But I just think you could’ve been a little bit nicer to me today.”
He had been nothing but an angel to you all day, and you felt horrendous for making him think otherwise, but alas, Tiktok had spoken and they wanted you to do this prank. So, as bad as you felt, it wouldn’t cause much harm. 
“Did I do something to upset you?” He looks genuinely hurt by his own actions and guilt immediately tugs at your heart strings.
You shrug and avert your gaze downwards, focusing on the tiled floor beneath your feet. This was partly to stop yourself from giving in too quickly, you’d always been a sucker for Jake’s puppy dog eyes and you knew if you looked into them any longer, you would stop the prank.  
Jake cocks his head to the side and steps closer to you, nuzzling his nose against the side of your head. You feel his breath fan over your ear and you swear your heart stops beating for a second. His fingers trail over your waist and he plants the softest kiss to the side of your head. 
“I just feel like you’ve been a little mean to me today,” you continue. And he nods his head in understanding, though you know he doesn’t understand at all. Jake doesn’t know what he’s done wrong, but if you think he hasn’t been nice to you then he’s not going to argue. 
“I’m sorry, can you tell me what I did to make you feel this way?” 
You lean your head against his chest and bite your lip, it’s hard to contain your smile. With his sweet response mixed with the scent of his cologne fogging up your brain, you have a hard time holding onto your act and he quickly notices. 
“Is this a prank?” He asks, pulling away from you. 
You let the giggles slip from your mouth and nod towards the phone, that you had done your best to hide. Jake turns, his hand still on your waist, and he looks for the camera. Once his eyes land on his figure, he throws his head back and a breathy laugh falls from his lips.
“I should’ve known.” 
Yes, yes he should’ve but you still made up for it with plenty of kisses. 
iii. 
Picking Jake up from football practice had become a ritual. 
You didn’t need to be asked anymore, you’re just always there waiting for him and he loves that. The excited smile on his face whenever he sees you patiently sitting behind the wheel never gets old. Picking him up, as sad as it sounds, has become your drive to get through Tuesdays. They’re not your favourite day of the week, but knowing you get to see a smiley, yet sweaty, Sim Jaeyun at the end of the day gives you more than enough motivation. 
Just like any other Tuesday, you’re waiting. You like to get there early and so, you have about fifteen more minutes until you see your favourite boy walking through the gate. Music plays softly in the background as you lean back and scroll through your comment sections—people are so sweet, though you do get a bitter taste in your mouth when you see people fawning over your boyfriend like he’s a piece of cake. 
You ignore the thirst comments and look through the requests. Not many catch your eye, until you come across a particular one and a smirk appears on your face.  
Fifteen minutes turns into twenty and finally you see your worn out boyfriend heading towards your car. As tired as he never fails to smile and pick up his pace. He pulls open the door and slips inside. You reach over and greet him with a chaste kiss before pulling away.
“How was practice?” 
“Exhausting. Can we take a nap together when we get to your place?” He asks whilst adjusting his seatbelt. 
A nap sounds amazing, and you waste no time in nodding your head. “Before we go, I went shopping today. I picked you up a few things, let me show you.” 
He melts then and there. Reaching back, you grab one of the bags and aggressively tug it towards you, making sure you hit Jake on the side of the head. He hisses and turns to look at you. 
You don’t even apologize. 
“No this isn’t it,” you mumble to yourself. 
You grip the bag and throw it back where you got it from, once again making sure to slap your boyfriend with it. He stares at you, annoyed with your aggressiveness, though you don’t look back at him and instead, you hit him a third time with a new bag but you instantly regret it. You ended up attacking him with the new pair of shoes you treated yourself to and you can tell this one pained him.
Quickly giving up on the prank, you drop the bag and reach over to rub the back of his head. “I’m sorry! I really didn’t mean to hit you that hard.” 
He whips his head towards you, looking at you as though you had just murdered an entire family in front of him. “What? So you meant to hit me?” 
You drop your hand and retreat back to your seat, attempting to look innocent. Jake then finds your phone, which is pointing right at him and he sees that it’s recording. You feel guilty, having not meant to hurt him so hard, you can’t meet his eye. You are about to start driving again, when you feel an impact on your arm and a yelp parts from your mouth. 
Jake sits beside you, a smile on his face and a bag clutched in his hand. You scowl and he only grins wider. 
“Now we’re even.” 
Oh, he is evil. 
iv. 
On the 10th May 2021, you hit 5 million followers. 
It was a shock, you rarely kept track of your follower count because you weren’t really in it for that ( though you are grateful for every single person that supports you ) so, you really hadn’t been expecting to hit such a huge milestone. In fact, you were so unexpectant, that you were sleeping at the time. 
“BABY!” Your eyes flew open as the bed shook. Jake had jumped on the bed, plastering kisses all over your face. “You hit 5 mill!” 
Disoriented, you blink. “Pardon?” 
Jake chuckles at your sleepy state, even with messy hair and puffy eyes, he thinks you look so attractive. His dark eyes trail over your features as he uses his thumb to rub underneath your eye, almost like he was trying to wipe away your sleepiness. 
“You hit 5 million followers, you did it.” His voice is softer this time, quieter but still filled with enthusiasm. You gape at him, and he laughs. 
“I did?” You ask, pointing to yourself. 
He nods. “You did.” 
The realisation crashes down at you at once and suddenly, you feel your nose sting as tears form in your eyes. Your fingers curl around the fabric of your boyfriend’s shirt whilst the other hand comes up to cover your mouth. Stray tears drop down onto your skin. You can’t believe it. 5 million people followed you. They like your content.
Jake coos at the tears that leak from your eyes like a waterfall. He’s quick to wipe them away, before he presses a kiss to your wet cheek. He’s proud and he’s filled with pride, his baby got 5 million followers and he couldn’t wait to brag to everyone about how talented and cool you are. That’s his favourite thing to do. Jake loves to brag about you. 
You sniffle and press your hands against his cheeks. Gently, you rub your nose against his own. “We did it. It’s your account just as much as it is mine, I wouldn’t have got this far without you. After all, you’re my main prank victim. So, we did it. We hit 5 million together.” 
You weren’t taking all of the credit, Jake was just as involved as you and he deserves the praise. You had done this together. 
“You do know Jay is never going to let you forget that he was the one who suggested uploading it to TikTok...right?” 
You laugh, nodding your head. “Yep. I know he’s gloating in the group chat, right now.” 
And he was. Jay was so proud of you and Jake, but most of all, he was proud of himself because without him, you would have never uploaded that first video. So, you let him have his moment. 
“To millions more!” Jake cheers as he lifts the pizza in his hand, the two of you had decided to celebrate with a victorious take away and a movie marathon. 
“To millions more,” you repeat softly. 
Whether you had 0 followers or 5 million, as long as Sim Jaeyun was by your side, you didn’t mind.

Can I request an imagine with Charlie and like a typical day in their lives? Like they show their YouTube viewers their casual (Charlie chaos included) day? 💕
Typical - Charlie Gillespie
Tumblr media
a/n: Sorry it took me a bit, had to take my wisdom teeth out... Anyways, I hope you like it :)) - Momo
words: 1.3k
warnings: fluffy like the clouds
requests are open :)
My MASTERLIST
----------------------------
“Hello hello and welcome back!” you told the camera propped up on one of your kitchen counters. The shot showing your tired face and loose pyjamas. A yawn escaped your slightly chapped lips as you tried to stretch the sleep away. Your eyes were heavy, your hair standing up in every possible direction, your body not fully awake yet.
“A lot of people asked for a little day to day vlog with the Gillespies,” you muttered as you made yourself a cup of coffee, the sparkling ring on your left ring finger very prominent in the shot.
“So we try to deliver! I just woke up a couple of minutes ago so excuse the light grogginess and don't know where my fiance is. Seems like you guys have to put up with only me for a bit.” you chuckled and poured milk into the steaming hot beverage.
“Sadly, we really don't have a lot to do today, well not much is planned…” you referred to the normal chaos a day with Charlie entailed. “We just need to run some errands, but I have a gut feeling that today will be a good one.”
You ended the clip and moved into your living room to turn up the radio. Ever since you were little, there was always some sort of music softly playing and therefore you hated a quiet house. It wasn't like you paid attention to the songs dancing through the air but the constant rumbling of background noise calms you down.
A little yellow piece of paper on the coffee table catches your eye. With furrowed eyebrows, you made your way over. Your eyes grew as you recognized Charlie's messy handwriting. Once again, you started a clip on your camera.
“I just found a secret message from Charlie on our coffee table.” you cleared your throat and started reading the note dramatically “‘Good morning Toots! I’m on a run and didn't want to wake you up. You looked so peaceful. I'll bring coffee from Allie’s. I love you, C Swizzle’” you grinned at the note, your heart beating faster with the love you have for him. “Hereby I declare the mystery where C Swizzle aka Char is as solved! I’m so hyped for the coffee. Allie’s is our favourite place in the whole city! Seriously if you're close by go and try it. So worth it. Now, until he’s back I’m gonna answer some emails and do our dishes from yesterday evening. You’re welcome to join me while I jam out to music.”
You propped the camera up on a shelf, filming yourself working for a bit. Then you went to the kitchen and turned up the music blaring out of the speakers you set up mere moments before. “Whenever I walk in the room. All the focus on me. The way I talk, the way I move. They all want on my team. Not tryin' to brag, brag, but I'm flawless.” screaming on the top of your lungs, you swayed your hips while the water from your tap filled the sink, the soap starting to bubble up.
“I'm taking over your playlist. Ain't perfect, but I can't miss, yeah. The party don't start 'til I walk in. I'm stealing all the attention. Don't get me started on mentions, yeah” A poor spoon had to be a placeholder microphone as you jumped through the small kitchen. Genuinely engulfed in the music, you didn't even hear the front door open and close. You didn't hear the footsteps walking towards you or the light chuckle that escaped the person's lips.
Sweaty arms wrapped themselves around your waist, making you scream and drop the cup you’ve been washing. The ceramic dish exploded on the floor, covering it in tiny splinters and shards. Charlie laughed at your reaction and pressed a loving kiss to your shoulder. “Sorry, Toots didn't want to scare you. I thought you heard me come in. Good morning by the way.” At the sound of his voice, you immediately relaxed. You weren't being murdered by an intruder. Turning around in his arms, you faced your boyfriend, your back pressed against the sink.
“I thought this was my last minute on earth. You really want to kill me before you even have the chance to marry me.” you chuckled and kissed his nose. “Where would be the fun in that? I do want to inherit some of your stuff.”
You lightly shoved him away but his arms stayed looking around your smaller frame. Looking down at the cup you frowned. “That was my favourite.”
“I'll get you another one. One that's even better than this one. Again I’m sorry.”
“I'll remember that. How was the run?” absentmindedly your hand brushed away some stray hairs that flew into Charlie's face. “Good.” he murmured “I don't like running with a mask on but it was all worth it because…” he turned around and got a little bag from the counter behind him. “I got us some coffee and that cream bagel you like so much.” you beamed up at him.
“Really?”
The next time you vlogged was at the grocery store several hours later. Charlie was pushing the shopping cart, while still holding your hand as you tried to deceiver your own grocery list. The camera sat comfortably at the front of the cart, framing you perfectly.
“Why did you think it was funny to write most of this in french?” you asked the boy next to you. He gave your hand a squeeze “Because you sometimes write stuff in german as well. It's only fair.”
You only rolled your eyes at that. “Yeah because I forgot the English word.” you huffed “Okay so we need d'oeufs. Eggs? And some milk. Right?”
“Mais oui mademoiselle.” He said amused.
“If you continue I will start to speak german,” you warned your boyfriend and you could bet that he was smiling under that mask.
“Threatening me in the grocery store? That's mean but the game is on honey.”
“You're gonna lose my dear. I had some french at school.” you let go of his hand and crossed your arms, raising one of your eyebrows at him while both of you grabbed some items you needed.
It wasn't the first time that the two of you suddenly challenged each other. One time, a couple of months ago, Charlie just randomly started to run and yelled back at you “Whoever is the last at the restaurant has to pay!” and with these words, he triggered your ambition. You struggled to get rid of your heels, hoping for the majority of the way as the two of you raced, reaching the restaurant sweaty and out of breath, earning some stares from other couples. Or another time where you suddenly claimed that you would be able to eat more pizza than him. A bet that you lost terribly.
Situations like this were normal for you, both really competitive and hardheaded. It was one of the things that spiced up daily life.
He raised both of his eyebrows, sparking a fire behind his eyes. “Essaie-moi, baby (Try me, baby)”
“In Ordnung, ab jetzt werde ich nur noch deutsch mit dir sprechen. (Alright, from now on I will only talk in german to you)”
Let’s just say the grocery shopping was a huge mess and took twice as long. You told Charlie to go and get the toothpaste and he came back with some pears which earned a laugh from you. Charlie tried to explain to you what he wanted to cook for you tomorrow evening, ingredients and everything but you only stared at him confused, occasionally nodding your head so he knew you were still listening. The dinner was gonna be a full surprise.
The two of you kept the act up all the way back to your apartment. You unpacked the food and had a camera recording somewhere. For the second time that day, arms wrapped around your waist, his head nuzzled in the crook of the neck.
“Do you have anything else planned for today?” he mumbled into your skin, his hot breath on your skin giving you goosebumps. A smile spread over your face. Wiggling out of his grip you sat on the tabletop and Charlie immediately stood between your legs, his arms around your neck. He leaned in to kiss you but before his lips touched yours you whispered “I won.”
His eyes grew wide and he pulled away slightly. He huffed and shook his head “Man I totally forgot about that. What is your prize, my lady?”
You traced his jaw with your index finger whilst your eyes never left his. “I demand… a thousand kisses!”
“A thousand?!” he exclaimed “My lady that's too many. You're going to starve the whole town.”
“Well then the town shouldn't have lost.” you teased back.
A smile was prominent on his face as he leaned in closer again “I must say you're a demanding ruler. But it seems like I must comply…”
The two of you stayed in bed for the rest of the day, only moving over to the couch to zap through Netflix. Naturally one of you already placed the camera on the shelf next to you.
Charlie tapped you on the shoulder, looking up from his spot half between your legs and on top of you.
“Yes, bubbs?”
“Play with my hair please.” he nearly whispered and made himself comfortable once again. Tiny hands finding their place in his dark hair.
At first, it was really weird to vlog all the time especially on a day where you and Charlie were just fooling around and being lovey-dovey. Luckily, you could still decide how much you wanted to cut out for the final video.

“There’s not a single reason I can think of for me to let you see her. You may be her father, but I’m her everything.” and “There’s nothing you can do, this is it. This is how it goes.” for Andy if your still doing prompts :)
Thank you very much! I hope you like these? :)) ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This one isn’t for the faint of heart, y’all! It’s pretty dark & intense!
~*~
7. “There’s not a single reason I can think of for me to let you see her. You may be her father, but I’m her everything.”
69. “There’s nothing you can do, this is it. This is how it goes.”
She’s sleeping soundly again, not noticing the raging summer storm that rests beyond the cottage windows. You tuck your fingers underneath the spare tufts in her pink blanket, enjoying the warmth. When she stirs you give her back a rub, pulling her closer to your chest. Baby Dolan is a snorer, much like her dad can be.
Andy.
You were trying (and failing) not to think about him. Ever since the incident had occurred, you basically checked out. Leaving your apartment behind, only giving your mother your contact information - you drove here with your newborn. The little one stirs, making those cute little bubbly noises of contentment, and that sends you into those stomach-churning memories. Andy.
You have been in love with Andy Dolan since you were assigned as his assistant when he got his big break. But he always put your advances on the back burner, instead choosing what fame had brought, along with addiction. You even had to watch him marry another woman and get her pregnant, losing himself further - demolishing his marriage, abandoning his daughter. Like a fool you had stood by him, vowing to help him, especially once his career began spiraling. You felt like a maid, cleaning up after him, reminding him to shower or change his clothes sometimes.
It went on that way for months. How naïve you were to think you could save him by yourself. He needed help, someone professional to hold the suitcase whilst he unpacked the baggage. You nearly paid the price for your loyalty, almost losing the one good thing Andy ever did give you - a baby girl. Your whole entire world and then some.
You became one of Andy’s typical one night stands and a cliche result had erupted. He had promised he would shape up, but you knew that if he couldn’t care enough for Sky, he wasn’t going to care enough for his second born. Still, you gave him every available chance to be involved. When he stopped answering your texts and failed to tell you about a movie he received a role in - you had to check reality. Andy Dolan fucked you because he could, not because he loved you or respected you, hell, he probably had forgotten all that you’d done for him.
He came to one ultrasound and sent you flowers for the birth. You and your daughter were another tabloid story in his life. Then when you had the little girl, it took Andy three weeks to request a visit, one that was cut abruptly short when he was holding the baby and she threw up on his silk robe, upsetting him. He handed her off and told you he’d be right back. He never came back, not until you left.
Another month had went by before you even considered letting him ask you to bring her over. He was ready to leave for his movie and he wanted to visit her. You supposed you owed it to your child to make it work. Boy you were foolishly wrong...
Andy seemed sober, clean and shaven. That’s why you decided to let him watch her as you briefly went to change your t-shirt to nurse her easily. Mere minutes ticked by and that’s when you remember the sickening crash from downstairs, preceding the horrifying wail that came from your child’s lips. Your heart is racing at reliving the memory, feeling that dreading lurch, that vice like chill that froze your blood, sticking to your insides like a paralyzing plague. You saw the mess of blankets when you had rounded the corner, then you finally caught sight of your babygirl.
She lay in a heap on the floor, on her back, screaming in a tiny terror that made you collapse and crawl towards her on your shaky knees. You had gathered her up and looked over her, cozying her to your chest to try and calm her tiny, racing heartbeat. The tears were pouring from your eyes, much like they blur your vision now. You can still see Andy stumbling in, running a hand through shorter hair, pupils dilated, looking at the counter, at the baby, then at you. It didn’t take a genius to realize that your newborn had fallen from his countertop and onto the cold floor.
His own brain had struggled to comprehend, putting a hand up to signal an apology, eyes wide and glazed.
“I didn’t... I only left her up there for a second. Y/N...”
You didn’t care how he had began to tremble, the water pooling in his own vision. It took a near tragic event for him to see that getting high and leaving his newborn daughter alone on a kitchen counter was dangerous? His staff charged in moments later, coming to your aid. You were on autopilot when you handed them the shaky infant. As soon as she was safely out of your arms and they stepped away, you charged at Andy - fists pounding on his chest, hands smacking at every inch you could reach.
“You stupid fucking junkie! You almost killed our baby!”
“I didn’t know, I didn’t mean to! Y/N, I would never do anything to —“
Smack. You had backhanded him so hard that he collided into the edge of the counter by force. You had panted through with a breast - soaked shirt, the baby still fussing in the background. You were eerily strong in your watery voice. You jabbed a finger at him.
“You better fucking leave for your crappy film, because if you don’t I will have you thrown in fucking jail! You need help, but I’m through trying to be the one that gives it to you! And I don’t want your empty apologies, I don’t want your money to help with her, I don’t want anything to do with you! If you attempt to come near me or my child, I will make sure you regret ever meeting me, do you understand, Andy?”
You left him in shambles, taking your baby with you. You’d gotten her looked over and admitted what happened. The press had put together a story and you knew it was inevitable that your business was going to be blasted. You hadn’t cared anymore. You didn’t want your child’s traumatic ordeal as a tabloid headliner, but she also needed to be seen by a doctor after her fall, and you wanted her to be cleared of injury.
Andy’s reputation didn’t matter to you. Once the comments started flooding in, Andy’s team had blowed your phone up - Andy included, attempting to smooth things over. You didn’t want to deal with the exposure that came with his lifestyle, not right then, so you took your baby for some solitude. The baby coos in her sleep, restarting your current predicament. You draw a shape on her tiny cheek, trying to ignoring your buzzing cell phone.
Andy may not know where you are, but that hasn’t stopped him from exploding on your phone for the past six weeks. Each message more desperate and broken than the last. His apologies, his regret, his newfound sobriety shining through. You aren’t having it. Being grateful that he’s sober and forgetting what had to happen for him to be humiliated and forced into it are two very different things. You raise up to tuck the baby into her downstairs crib, scrolling across your recent text message notification thread with her father.
Y/N... you have to have heard that I’ve been clean for a month now. C’mon, please?
I can see Sky, why can’t I see her?
You know how much I care about you too.
I fucked up, sweetheart. Please don’t do this.
I didn’t mean to get you dragged into this motherfucking nightmare...
You can’t take it anymore. Your fingers tap harshly at the phone, pressing send.
“There’s nothing you can do, this is it. This is how it goes.”
The dots of a wavy response begin immediately.
I’m her father! I need to see her, to be with her! I love her, I love
The dots stop and then start themselves, settling on silence. Your heartbeat is thrumming in your throat. You’re not even getting into your feelings for him, or whatever feelings he’s pretending to have for you. You shake it off, giving one of your last responses.
“There’s not a single reason I can think of for me to let you see her. You may be her father, but I’m her everything.”
You don’t pick up your phone to read anything else, but you can’t deny the irritating sting that comes when he doesn’t send another response. That’s cut off, however, when your phone begins to ring. You hold it in your hands, Andy’s picture and name staring back at you from the glowing screen. You direct your focus to the baby and her sweet blonde curls, sound asleep, your eyes dancing back to her daddy on the screen.
“What the fuck am I supposed to do?” You whisper into the silence of the room.
The thunder roars in the distance, your only response.
Angst/Argument Prompts

film adaptation
scriptwriting
I was definitely a little late to getting started on the script. Every time we get started again with our practical modules I always underestimate how heavy the workload is from the get go. Anyways, me being stupid but alas I have started.
We had a meeting in-between classes and myself and Katie spoke with the group about our ideas for the script. We also came up with more ideas as a group. This included:
- Setting the whole thing in the bedroom. This will mean Orla can do a lot with sound, like hearing characters in other rooms do things, which will help isolate Joanna from the world, stuck in bed.
- To have a plant with falling leaves somewhere in the background. HOMAGE!!
- Costume wise, we know people who can help out who study costume design, this will be helpful.
So, after our meeting with Kate. We have definitely been made aware of 'holes' in our plot. She wasn't a fan of leaving the illness as ambiguous. Saying at least the team needs to know to help with writing and what not, which I guess I understand, so we might look into choosing an illness. A main one was about the timelessness of the film. Kate did not agree that this would work, well I don't think she didn't think it would at all, but she thinks it's better to set a time for the film, even if it isn't made that obvious in the actual film, like she'd said about the illness. We have always been subconsciously setting it 1870's ish in our heads I think, so as the writer I'm keeping that in mind when writing. This meant research, for I know embarrassingly little about pre 1920's.
I started by finding a story from this time that our characters can read together, cause ain't nothing more romantic than reading. Netflix and Chill is out, Read and Be in Love is in. I found 'The Moonstone' by Wilkie Collins - a detective novel. I found a part that I felt could add to our story whilst using another story. I settled on:
"The answer reached us by the same road… ‘I have nothing to tell the Policeman, I can't see anybody!'"
With the being unable to see anybody resonating with Joanna, for she's bedridden and can't get out the house, or her room.
Then I started reading up about 'Little Women' and the author, Louisa May Alcott. I feel this would help me write about women in the arts during this time. I also wanted to maybe mention the novel in our film? Although I haven't fully discussed this with everyone yet.
"You know she wrote this in three months! Oh, how I wish I was as talented as she!"
...stuff along these lines.
I feel actually using an extract of 'Little Women' when they are reading would maybe tie our film too much to the franchise? Unsure.
Theme wise. I think we are still unsure on the exact wording, and not in a question format like Kate had said was smart, but just words kind of. Hope. Love. Art. Death. Your classics.
Kate helped us figure out the main drive for this film:
Sue (artist) needs to understand Jonna might die.
Joanna (who is ill) needs to understand she might live.
For they are both so convinced of their own argument they are refusing to see each others view. So we can have build up of tension - conflict - resolution. A nice wee structure to help me write.
But yeah! Writing this post instead of the actual script right now, I am a fool, a FOOL. I shall get back to it and come back with updates.
hope everything is going well for other groups, once again very excited to see everyones work!
:)

Part of You
Idol: Bae Joohyun (Red Velvet) & Jennie Kim (Blackpink)
Irene and Jennie are forced to stay at home while their girlfriend is out of the country, touring with her group, instead of being at home. They understand, because they have to leave for tour, too. But when your tour is as frequent as yours, they can’t help but miss you more than they do.
Tumblr media
“Jennie, come on, stop sulking.” The older girl cooed at her girlfriend when she entered the room, tablet in hand as she walked over to the bed where the Blackpink member was busy rolling and pouting to herself.
Said girl only stopped rolling around the bed and huffed, pout still present as she made room for the latter and then wrapped her arms around her waist to snuggle into her while she whined. “But I want Y/n to come home.” She complained, making Joohyun playfully roll her eyes whilst she patted the younger girl’s head.
“I know you do, and so do I, but she’s still in Europe with the rest of the girls.” She reminded before showing the tablet. “They have a show that we said we would be watching, so come on.” Groaning, Jennie moved so that they were both settled against the headboard of their shared bed.
Even though it was already late for them, the pair wanted to be able to watch your performance since they weren’t exactly capable of joining you on tour. With how long you’ve been away, this would be the only time they had together where they could see you.
Joohyun was preparing it to the link you had sent them so that they could see the concert live. It took a while of convincing from management, but you were able to make it possible without having the link leaked because it would be a very big question as to why you would have it in the first place.
As soon as the stadium was shown on the screen, Jennie’s eyes was immediately looking for the familiar figure of their girlfriend, despite the dark area. Joohyun was much more relaxed as she waited, grinning as she ran her fingers through Jennie’s hair in a comforting manner.
When the lights finally came to life and the screaming of fans increased, the two girls would feel pride swelling in their chest when you came up with your members. All of you were dressed in black and red clothing, dancing flawlessly, thanks to the countless times you’ve practiced.
They were cheering for you despite only watching from the screen, and when the camera panned over to show a close up of you, they would squeal even more, chanting your name as if they were in the crowd.
There was the change of outfits in between, so they were able to see some of your outfits in some of your music videos that made them more than pleased, especially when it came to performing your latest song.
When it came to special stages, they were holding their breath, waiting for you to make your appearance. Joohyun was no longer calm, frankly, she was just as excited as her taller girlfriend after watching you perform and hearing your voice.
“How are they able to do all that without looking tired?” Joohyun had questioned when she tucked her hair behind her ear, her motherly instincts picking up as she awaited your performance. “Their choreography is harder compared to ours. I’m just amazed that they’re still going, considering their concept is more on pop rock.” Jennie commented as she bounced in her place, making the older girl chuckle at her child-like expression.
When it was finally your turn, they were already giggling like school girls who had seen their crush. “Her outfit is always on point. Their stylist is good.” Jennie would say, making Joohyun laugh at the fashionista and playfully poke her side. “Of course, that’s what you notice.”
Jennie flinched at the poke and lightly swatted her hand away. “I was just saying! Our baby deserves to look the best.” She defended before turning back to watch you.
The moment they did, you were already at the chorus and both girls were blushing wildly because of the way your body moved. Of course, they expected this due to you dancing EXO’s The Eve, but they rarely see you performing songs with that kind of choreography.
Though there were times that your group covered for others with that kind of concept, it wasn’t often for them to see you dancing like that. Even with such a badass image, they knew well enough that you were capable of seducing anyone with a look, if the body rolls and winks weren’t enough proof of it.
They know that you aren’t usually like this. The confident and sexy Y/n was only for the stage, but when you were home, you were their soft and dorky girlfriend.
When the end of the concert finally came, the pair were cuddled up on the bed, the tablet resting between them as your group talked to the people who attended, thanking them for their time and saying goodbye.
But when the camera closed in on you, their brows quirked up at seeing you crouching down on the edge of the stage and talking animatedly to a couple fans. Looking closer, they could see something being handed to you before you gladly accepted it, making the shouting grow louder when you stood up, only to drape the rainbow flag across your shoulders and wrapping it around yourself.
The action made them smile even more, if that was possible. Something they loved about your group was that all of you were very open-minded people and that you never failed to show your support to anyone.
At first, it worried them because Korea wasn’t exactly very welcoming, but the more that time passed, your group has never gotten any form of hate or backlash and they were only left in wonderment as your popularity continued to grow. You may not have been too popular in Korea, but internationally, people knew who you were and that was more than enough.
Though they were a bit upset with the fact that your group still didn’t get your first win. They were sure you would have won when you performed at an award show with your comeback, but for some reason, the win went to someone else, where people found it odd with how the numbers just didn’t add up. Even those who weren’t fans of your group were sure that you would have won and others even did the calculations themselves. No matter how you looked at it, your group should have had your first win that day.
That was why it simply broke their hearts to see you so downhearted with your members. When the question of what your dream was, your answers were no longer “Our first win.” but “To have more fans” instead.
They did their best to cheer you up at that time and you were thankful for their support, but you eventually learned to move on from it. It had only served to make you work harder.
“Can she please come home, now?” Jennie whined as she watched you happily interact with your members. She missed you dearly ever since you had to leave last month. She actually complained that your tour was too long and Joohyun ended up laughing and teasing her for it because they were both away much more than you usually were.
Joohyun smiled at the younger girl and kissed her forehead. “You’re so clingy, Jen. She’ll be home in a few days.” She reminded, knowing that you would probably be filming a bit more before coming back. “But I want her now!” The younger girl protested before she looked to the other. “Don’t you dare make fun of me because I know you miss her, too.”
The latter raised her hands in defense, her eyes filled with mirth as she smiled. “I do, but you don’t see me acting like a baby, do you?” She retorted playfully, making the other pout as she crossed her arms across her chest. “You love me anyway.”
Now that earned herself a small smile from the older girl and a tender kiss was pressed against her lips before Joohyun kissed her cheek.
..
Joohyun wakes up, a little before six in the morning. Though she and Jennie stayed up to watch your performance, her body always woke her up early even when she didn’t need to.
It was something she often hated because she wants to keep sleeping, but at this moment, she was happy to be awake when she saw the text on her phone. Immediately, she pressed the call button and waited until you answered her.
Looking next to her, she giggled with how Jennie was still curled up on her side, one of your hoodies wrapped around her figure whilst Joohyun had another.
Her heart started beating faster when her phone finally showed the light of your hotel room. She was just so excited to see you, so when your face finally popped up, she couldn’t contain the smile that crawled up her face.
“Hi baby.” You murmur with a wave of your hand and she coos at how soft you looked. “Hey, why aren’t you asleep?” She asks quietly. Even with her want to see you, she could never help her motherly instincts when it came to your health.
“I just got cleaned up.” You tell her, stretching on the bed while a pillow was held to your chest. “Also, I was hoping to see at least one of my favorite girls.” You grin at her before a sound comes from the background.
“You called?”
From the screen, Joohyun could see as you playfully rolled your eyes and shooed the person away. “Sorry, that was Bora.” You apologize sheepishly due to your friend’s loud voice after you threw a pillow at her.
“I’m surprised you haven’t switched roommates.” Joohyun muses, knowing your members well enough to know just how playful and loud they could be.
If she thought her members were crazy, she was more surprised when she got to know more about yours.
You laughed at her remark and cock your head to the side. “It’s fine. Bora is fun to have around when she isn’t yelling all the time.” Jennie moved closer into Joohyun’s side as the older girl continued to listen to you. Her fingers moving to run through her soft locks.
“Is Jennie still sleeping?” You ask with a smile on your face. And as Joohyun was about to reply, the younger girl piped up, yawning as she moved so that she could peek at the screen and a sleepy smile appeared on her face. “Not anymore.”
Your smile only seemed to widen at the sight of your two girlfriends. “Good morning, princess.” She takes a while to properly wake herself, and when she realizes that she is talking to you, Joohyun is already grinning at her, stifling a laugh when she gave her a tiny squeeze.
“Y/n!” Jennie bolted upright, the phone coming to her hands when she snatched it from the older woman and both of you giggled before she’s hitting your other girlfriend. “How could you be on call without me?” Joohyun just rolled her eyes while you watch them in amusement.
“Is our Jennie whining?” You teased her but she only answered with a huff. “She’s been like this since yesterday when we were watching your performance.” Joohyun piped up when she rested her chin on the other girl’s shoulder. “I want Y/n to come now. I want her now.” She mocked in good nature while you smile at the two. “Don’t worry, I’ll be home soon.”
They could tell that you were tired, if having to sing and dance in front of thousands of people for a couple hours wasn’t tiring enough. They also knew that you were often one of the people in your group that made sure everyone was alright despite the fact that you weren’t exactly the eldest nor were you the leader.
“Is soon going to be in an hour?” Jennie asked hopefully, the adorable little pout on her lips again while she stared at you and you mentally cooed at your girlfriend’s antics. “I’m sorry, princess, but you know that we still have to film some things and I can’t back out since I’m the one who requested it.”
Damn you for being adorable, Jennie thinks, her pout growing deeper and Joohyun had to laugh before she’s addressing you. “Don’t worry about it, Y/n. We know that you’re busy. We just miss you.” She said, making you nod. “Also, while you’re away, please be careful. I don’t want another call from your members saying that you got lost while taking pictures.”
You just grinned sheepishly at your girlfriend while nodding your head. “I know. The unnies are always making sure that I don’t disappear without telling them, now.” Your love for photography was simply endearing and everyone knew that you loved to take pictures, but the one time you and your group went for a gathering due to a successful comeback, they ended up calling your girlfriends and asking if you had gone home.
It sent both girls into a panic when no one was able to find you, and the fact you weren’t answering made it worse. It wasn’t until the maknae spotted you by a few stalls did they all calm down, but you sure as hell did not hear the end of it with your members, only to have a second lecture when you got home to your worried girlfriends.
Checking the time, Jennie looked at you before she’s raising a brow. “Baby, it’s late.” She mumbled, seeing the way you were trying to keep your eyes open. “You’ve had a long day, and I’m sure that you’re busy tomorrow. You need to sleep.” Joohyun says worriedly and you smile at the pair.
“I know, but I want to hear about your day before I sleep. Did you enjoy the concert at least?”
Immediately, they smiled as they suddenly started gushing about the show, praising you for doing well and complimenting your members as well. “I feel like you intended to be a tease because you know we aren’t there to do anything.” Jennie huffed while shaking her head and Joohyun was crossing her arms. “Is this what happens when we go on tour?” She asked playfully. “You better be ready when you come home.”
But after they spoke, you didn’t say anything in reply. Curiously, their eyes went back to the tiny screen, only to see that your eyes have finally fallen shut and your breathing had evened out.
The peaceful expression on your face made both their hearts melt. It was always like this, and even when Jennie wanted to be annoyed, she couldn’t help but find it cute whenever you fell asleep. Joohyun, despite her worries, would feel a bit better because she’s given a reassurance that you’re able to fall asleep.
“Goodnight baby.” Jennie whispered quietly. “We love you, so much.” Joohyun added while she watched fondly, her hand gently rubbing at the younger girl’s side.
They let the call go on for a while, just quietly watching over you even with it just through a screen, until they’ve decided that it was safe to end the call.
You may not be physically there, but even when you were miles away from each other, there will always be a part of you in their hearts like you were in theirs.
So what if you had to be away for tours? At the end of it all, they were your home and vice versa. Being patient may have been something that each of you had to practice, but in the end, it was always worth it to have your favorite girls in your arms.

-soft halloween movie night mihyun just because uwu-
“Come on, Dahyun. It’ll be fun!”
For as long as she can remember, Mina has always been able to rope Dahyun into just about anything with those words. When they were kids, Mina could tell that Dahyun was a little more frightful than she. However, that never stopped her from trying to get her to try out some new experiences. When an invite to their first college party arrived, Dahyun needed a little more encouragement from Mina, but eventually agreed. When a job application she had sent came back positively, Dahyun was terrified of being interviewed, but Mina managed to sway her opinion and get her to attend. She ended up getting the job with ease, and Mina was so very proud of her.
The same could be said with their relationship. Dahyun had been so nervous about making the jump from strictly friends to dating. Worried about whether or not their friendship would survive if they realized being a couple wasn’t going to work out. But, Mina assured Dahyun that there’s no one else on this Earth that she wants to spend her days with. From there on, they’ve become inseparable, and their friendship is still their favorite thing about being together.
Halloween, however, is where Dahyun draws the line. The holiday has never been interesting to her. Frightening either yourself or others is not something that Dahyun wishes to partake in. But, Mina adores the spookiest night of the year, in fact; it’s her favorite holiday. But whilst she appreciates the pumpkin carving, poorly made costumes, and abundance of candy. Her favorite tradition is binge-watching horror films.
Thus, Mina has landed herself on their couch with several blankets thrown over her body. Mountains of snacks lined up on the coffee table, wine glasses filled to the brim, and the television waiting to play the first Friday the 13th film. Dahyun detests the genre of gore, spookiness, and worst of all ghosts. She always has. But that doesn’t stop Mina from trying every single year to get Dahyun to watch along with her.
“Please! I got your favorite snacks, come on!” Mina whines, motioning toward the table. If all else fails, there’s a sure-fire way to get Dahyun to agree and it’s by catering to her grumbling stomach.
Dahyun’s eyes flicker from the snacks to Mina’s pleading face looking up at her. It’s moments like these that Dahyun realizes just how much she’s fallen for her and how dangerous that pleading face could one day be if Mina decided to try and turn them into a couple of bank robbers.
“I wanna watch all of the Friday the 13th films, but not the remakes. They’re awful.” Mina states though Dahyun doesn’t process her words, too busy focusing on her face.
Grabbing some of the snacks off the table, Mina wraps her arms around Dahyun’s waist and pulls her down to sit beside her, offering her cheek a quick peck before hitting play on the remote. Dahyun does her best to pay attention to the movie, but her stomach comes before Jason Voorhees and his hockey mask.
“Hey, chew your food! You’re going to choke if you keep throwing them in your mouth like that.” Mina jokes, lightly tickling Dahyun’s side as she slows her chewing to a stop.
“You know that I don’t like this sort of thing, Mina. Let me eat my snacks and pretend to watch in peace.”
“Fine.”
The first ten minutes of the movie is a blur to Dahyun. She tries her best to concentrate and participate in the movie marathon for Mina’s sake. But that isn’t easy when every second she’s expecting someone to jump out in front of the camera and scare the living daylights out of her. However, she continues watching and sinks farther into her seat, becoming more comfortable and relaxed. Though, that could be because Mina is holding her hand and stroking it gently with her thumb.
There are only a few jumpscares thankfully, but it isn’t as scary as she had assumed it would be by the time the credits roll. However, Mina takes notice of how the blanket Dahyun originally had positioned over her legs halfway through the movie ended up by her chin towards the end. Her eyes remain on Dahyun for a few seconds too long as Dahyun turns toward her to see why she hadn’t hit play on the next film yet.
The curve of her lips up into a smile is enough to make Mina wonder just how lucky she got to have Dahyun, and how she may just be the death of her too.
“Are we still watching this or no?” Dahyun asks, smirk still placed on her lips but her voice barely a whisper.
“Oh.. um, yes. Sorry!” Mina quickly presses play but shifts in her seat a few inches closer toward Dahyun wishing to remain within her warmth.
The second movie flies by, it helps that the wine is flowing very easily between them. Dahyun isn’t sure why she refused to pay attention previously, just very aware of how Mina’s head has dropped to rest softly on her shoulder and how her hand is lazily holding the remote atop her thigh. She tries her best to remain as still as possible. However, her breathing becomes unsteady as she tries to hold it so as not to disturb Mina, which instead is what causes Mina to be disturbed.
“Why aren’t you breathing?” Mina asks, moving her head and hand away. Dahyun immediately misses the contact between them and holds out her arms for Mina to return to cuddling her.
“I was… I just... I was.” Dahyun stutters. Mina looks at her curiously but moves back into position, wrapping her arms around her waist tightly.
The third movie doesn’t interest Dahyun nearly as much. Somewhere, in the beginning, Mina dozes off and her light snoring is the only sound Dahyun has any interest in focusing on. Mina has never been one to handle her alcohol well, usually resulting in her crashing a lot earlier than anyone else. But, she always looks at peace when she sleeps.
Dahyun watches as Mina’s chest rises and falls beneath the blanket, how her hands twitch every few seconds to keep a light grip on the remote, and how her hair has fallen across her face. The movie continues to play in the background as Jason stalks toward yet another kill, but Dahyun doesn’t care.
“You’re so beautiful.” She whispers.
Pushing herself up from the sofa to grab the remote from Mina’s hand, Dahyun turns off the movie and places the remote back down on the table still hidden by leftover snacks. She pulls the blanket up a little higher and makes sure every part of Mina is covered as the nights have gotten far colder lately. If she hadn’t taken part in drinking also, she may have considered carrying Mina up the stairs to their bedroom, but the fear of dropping her halfway up them puts Dahyun off the idea.
Leaning down and pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead, Dahyun stands once more to double-check their doors are locked, grabbing her own blanket as she passes and lays down beside Mina as close as she can possibly get. Her legs dangling over the side of the sofa, but it is still somehow comfortable just from being beside Mina like this.
When Mina’s eyes flutter open and it’s clear Dahyun is still in the dreamworld, Mina quickly offers her those same forehead kisses in return and hopes that her dreams are only of the two of them, and not at all of the frights and hockey masks. She curls herself closer into Dahyun and falls back into her own peaceful sleep, happy to have convinced Dahyun to participate in her favorite tradition.
