12 DAYS GUYS
And today, instead of anylysing another Yasmina and Sammy scene, we're analyzing THESE TWO BAMFs!!!
Tumblr media
OMFG, these two I can't with these two I love them so dearly my lord. One of my favourite brother/sister relationships of all time. Their so supportive of each other and have a "sorry I just threw you down a mountain, it's how I show affection :)" relationship it's the best dynamic ISTG.
Like, I think Ben is the only other person Yaz voluntarily hugs (Not counting all the time's with Brooklyn cause those were kinda out of like "I protec u").
Tumblr media
Like, Yaz didn't really have a strong relationship with Ben before he became "Island Ben", but when she sees him, instead of standing in shock like Brook and Kenji, she just throws herself at him (In a very "Sammy-like" manner, if I do say so myself lol). She obviously cares for this boy, even in when he was "Scared-Ben" and before their relationship really took off.
And she CONTINUES holding on to him like a lifeline for a good 7 seconds (Trust, I counted lol) AND THEN SHE FUCKING-
Tumblr media
She pulls him in AGAIN. And Ben isn't like, akward about it at all. He just hugs her back instantly, which to me screams that there were never any romantic interest between them (Sorry to those who ship these two) and honestly shows need more of this. Like, these two are the only ones in this series...
ok I take it back, no one has shipped Ben and Brooklyn or Darius and Sammy as far as I'm concerned, but they have such limited screentime together I can see why.
They're the only well-developed and HEALTHY non-romantic duo in this series.
But like, Brook, Kenji, and Darius all had this really...weird and unexplained love triangle going on. Like I swear I wasn't the only one picking up on Brooklyn and Darius in Season 1 and 2, but then it shifts to Kenji for no real reason. Then obviously Yaz and Sammy were hinted at since the very first episode lol, but these two.
They're not even really as sibling-coded as Darius and Kenji (Yet another ship that I hope no one wanted to sail because...ew. their brothers yall. BROTHERS). They're just...different. I really don't know how to explain it. Honestly the best way I can explain it is with these two vvv
Tumblr media
Yaz would definitely call Ben "Dingus" and make a "You Rule | You Suck" board I will die on this hill.
And Yaz obviously trusts this boy with her life. Like, when they were hiding from the robo-dogs (Oh my god, the demodogs and demogorgons of JWCC, the BRADS and BRAD-Xs) she's leaning into him.
Tumblr media
And then they think their gonna die and this snipped right here actually breaks and heals my heart at the same time 🥹
Tumblr media
Yaz just clings to him and hides her face in his shoulder and Ben doesn't waste a single goddamn moment before he tries to shield her as best he can.
*Raine pauses and watches again for science*
Screaming, crying, sobbing over them.
Can't find the GIF for it, but in season 5 when Ben sees Bumpy on get off the boat and makes a run for it, Yaz is the first one who notices Ben is gone. She's looking around for him before everyone else and she's the one who asks "Where's Ben". It's the little details in their relationship.
There's a whole other post I might make tomorrow on the amazing wingmanship between these two with Sammy and Ben's hilarious misunderstanding of Yaz being Kenji's wingman (Still not over that).
I love these two so much, my babies :))) There's so many moments between them that I caught on my rewatch.
Can't wait for JWCT, I miss the children so muchhhh
Toodles!

Listening to Archive 81 for the fourth time and just realised that Dan ACTUALLY regains his human appearance at the end of s3? But he says "in this bubble you won't see me as a cyborg" does that imply his actual true appearance is the cyborg body but he's just masking it up now? Because he managed to modify the "________" to get his body back in a way. Also if his true appearance is the cyborg body, then he must have the same abilities still, so I feel like s3 ended with "yay Daniel escaped" but I feel Dan will inherently be tied to the weirdness from The City due to everything that's happened and his curiosity.

< series masterlist
word count – 13k
warnings – sibling energy
A/N – this already turned out so much longer than I wanted it to be, so I would have more content for a part 2😅😬
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
minnie's struggle (and blessing) of growing up with 13 dudes
Tumblr media
[Minnie being the only girl in an idol group with 13 other guys is as iconic as it gets]
[I think we can all agree on that]
[but, we also know how much of a struggle this brings as well]
[as someone that grew up with an older brother, I don't even want to imagine how it must be with 10 of them + 3 younger ones]
[now, there's MORE THAN ENOUGH on camera footage, BUT we also have quite a few stories]
[and we'll be looking at a few of those today]
[pls enjoy]
-
teasing her
[some of these are really such canon events if you have older siblings and i love them for it]
Minnie was relaxing her back against one of the lime-green walls. 
[warning: there's quite a lot of content from the melona prison]
[just so you know]
With her phone in her hands, her eyes were focused on the screen as her fingers were tapping on it frantically. After a few seconds, a chuckle would tumble from her lips, only for her to start typing again.
Seungkwan had been entertaining the camera, with the girl only being shown in the background, but as soon as he turned around, his attention was fully on her. In a few steps, the '98 Liner stopped by her extended feet, tapping the souls of them with his toes.
"Who are you texting?" He asked her, continuing to nudge her feet with his own.
[the amount of times my brother has done the exact same thing, ugh]
[but seungkwan does it in a much cuter way]
[I MEAN JUST LOOK AT HIM]
The girl pulled in her legs and brushed him off. "No one." Only to chuckle at the screen again.
"Are you texting a friend?" Seungkwan got down and slid across the floor, his hands now placed on her knees. Once he didn't get an answer from the female trainee, he patted her bony knees. "Is it your boyfriend?"
[THE question as soon as you laugh while on the phone istg]
"What?" Her head shot up as soon as he threw the question into the room, pushing his hands off her with an annoyed sigh. "No! Get away from me."
"Just say if it's your boyfriend," the younger boy shrugged, still not getting up to leave her alone.
[i would've already smacked him ngl]
"Seungkwan!" Minnie rolled her eyes. "Stop it." A clear blush brightened up her full cheeks.
With a grin, the boy pushed himself up, pointing a finger straight at the girl. "Noona's blushing! She's texting her boyfriend!" His exclaim gained the attention of the rest of the members that were in the room.
[broooooo]
[why did he do her like that hahahah]
"Boyfriend?" Seungcheol called out from the other side of the room.
[oh no]
[big bro mode activated]
"No, I'm not! Seugnkwan, I said stop!" With her extended legs again, Minnie was able to reach his shins kicking him, making him groan as he backed up. 
"Don't lie!" He pointed a strict finger at her again. With a quick push-up, the girl stood up and slapped his hand away, only for him to slap hers in return. With a frown on her face, the female trainee pushed him by his shoulder, but before the '98 Liner could do something again, the oldest of them all stepped in between them.
[PLS]
[the bitch fight they were about to have HAHAHAHAH]
"Stop fighting!" He growled at each of them.
[just a quick intermission: i need him to shout at me like that]
[okay back to the scene]
Immediately, both teenagers raised their fingers to point at each other.
"She pushed me first!"
"He started it!"
[HEAVY SIBLING ENERGY]
A groan from Seunghcheol got both to lower their hands again. "Both of you stop!" He turned to the boy first, "Seungkwan, stop annoying her."
[cheol was soooo done with them hahaha already back then]
[i just know he probably already had to stop SO many fights at this point]
"You always defend her, hyung." The younger one rolled his eyes, crossed his arms in front of his chest and walked away.
[well, we all know why, soooo👀🥰]
[she‘s a Choi deep down🫶🏼]
Then, Cheol turned to the girl. "And you, don't hit him."
"But-" She started, but as soon as Minnie saw the scowl on the oldest's face, she shut her mouth again. 
[BRO]
[THAT LOOK]
[i. am. on. my. knees.]
[like i know this is very big brother vibes bla bla bla]
[BUT HE'S SO HOT WHEN HE'S MAD]
[god😫]
She turned around to sit back against the wall, sliding down with a sigh. Wonwoo was quick to jump up from his place on the floor and join her, sitting closely by her side.
[aaaand of course, there's wonwoo to save the day again]
With a grin, Vernon made his way into the view of the camera. "You know, we're gonna lose a lot of male fans now."
[bro hahahah]
[what a comment]
[not the right moment]
"Ooh, that's true," the youngest, Dino, nodded with a chuckle.
The female trainee said nothing in return, instead chose to throw a pen she had lying next to her at the duo, making them laugh as they tried to dodge it.
[them as annoying younger brothers actually seems so much fun]
[but i also know that i'd be beating them up left and right]
-
[now]
[this is technically not really a moment of them teasing her, but it was mentioned]
[and i really liked this moment in street women fighter]
[it's very cute, so i'm gonna include it]
The members of the HolyBang group had gathered in their greenroom, each getting comfortable on the sofa and chair provided. As they fell into a comfortable conversation, Belle spoke up.
"Where's Minnie?"
The leader started frantically glancing around the room, trying to find the eyes of the youngest in their group.
"Where did we lose her?" Jane wondered, also looking around.
"Maybe she went to the toilet," Taro suggested, but the eldest of the room wasn't listening.
Honey J got up from her position on the couch, pulling up her pants just a bit. "I'll go look for her. I'll be right back." 
[SHE WAS SUCH A QUEEN]
[AND SUCH A MOM]
[i really am so glad minnie has a woman like her in her life in korea]
Without looking back, she exited through the door they had just come in. Walking through the hallway, she tried to get a glance into each room that was open, evening taking quick peeks around each corner she passed. Up until she reached the toilets that were on the same floor. The cameras only showed the hallway that was connected to the green rooms that housed the dance groups, but the microphones followed the female dancers all the way.
The '87 Liner opened the door to the female's bathroom, not expecting to find the younger girl by the sink right away.
"Oh, what are you- are you crying?" She wondered with a gasp. "Why are you crying?" 
[this literally broke my heart🥺]
[i knew minnie was going to have a hard time bc of stupid comments]
[but her crying really killed me, like fr]
Minnie's sniffles were caught by the microphone. 
"N-No-"
"Don't say no, I can see that you're crying. What's going on?" The older woman interrupted her.
Minnie whimpered as she patted her cheeks down with some tissue. "It's nothing, I was j-"
"Ya, Minnie-ya," Honey J's strict voice was clear as she spoke. It was not often that she turned this serious. "Don't lie to me, okay? What happened? Did somebody say something to you?"
[seungcheol if he was a woman, TELL ME I'M WRONG]
The sound rustled as the '97 Liner shook her head, her hair brushing over the microphone. "The critique just hit me harder than I expected. I- I... I don't know- I didn't think I would react like this."
"Because of what they said about you?"
[FUCK THEM]
Minnie only nodded.
"Don't you want to go somewhere more comfortable where we can talk? I don't think the bathroom is the best place for a conversation like this?" The leader wondered, getting a soft chuckle from the girl.
[MOM]
"No," her sniffles continued. "If my members see me cry about this on camera, they'll tease me forever because of it." Her statement got a whole-hearted laugh from the other woman.
[and i bet they still did]
[but i'm also sure they were ready to throw fists]
[rules of brothers: make fun of your sibling for crying first and then beat up the person that made them cry]
"Minnie-ya! That can't be your concern right now, are you serious?" Chuckling along with the female idol whose cries have gotten less and more quiet.
"I'll beat them up if they do, okay?" 
[GO MOM]
[you dropped this 👑]
Honey J's question made the girl laugh out loud and cover her mouth as they both exited the bathroom and got back into the hallway. "Look," both women came to a halt, the leader looking intensely into her member's face. "Listen to me. You and I both know exactly why I asked you to be here with us. Because I know how good you are. YOU know how good you are. Fuck them and what they think just because you're an idol. You were a dancer first. And you'll always have that."
[alright, make me cry i guess]
Minnie nodded, her eyes lowered down to the floor.
[i just wanna give her a hug😢🥺😭]
-
[nowwwww]
[everything with na pd was CHAOS]
[but there were some moments i just had to highlight bc my god]
Once the producer hit the 'play' button, the intro music of the next song filled the room. Minnie, along with some other members shot up from her chair, but S.Coups beat her to it when he shouted out the name of his team. He was able to name the right group, but Woozi forgot the correct name of the song, giving them an altogether wrong answer.
[WOOZI HOW COULD YOU]
Minnie was about to shout out her team's name that she shared with Hoshi and Seungkwan, but Mingyu pushed her back into her chair, taking a step forward to cover her form as he screamed out the name of his and Jeonghan's team. 
[THIS]
[WAS]
[SO]
[FOUL]
[stand up for yourself minnie and smack him]
Right after he said the name of the group, the '95 Liner followed with the correct name of the song that was playing.
Pink Venom. A song performed by the project girl group Minnie was part of.
With her mouth agape, she glanced up at the tall member, still surprised by his action.
"Why did you push me?" Almost pouting, knowing it would hopefully make the rapper feel bad.
[HER POUT]
[this must be such a weakness for the members]
[LOOK AT HER]
"I'm sorry," he chuckled, sitting back down, placing one hand on her shoulder and the other on her knee. Minnie was quick to brush both off, smacking his chest and making him wince.
[pls he's so dramatic]
Unbeknownst to them, Dokyeom had made his way into the middle of the area, stopping right in front of the main camera, after he had thrown his jacket to the floor. The members started hollering after him as he got ready for his performance.
[i love dokyeom so much]
[but it i were minnie, i'd be RUNNING]
As soon as the chorus that Minnie sang started, DK started to move. He knew the choreo to this part inside-out at this point. The rest of the members couldn't help but laugh at how seriously the '97 Liner took his role.
[dk's coming for your career minnie, watch out]
"Dance like Minnie! Stick your butt out more!" Dino commented with a laugh, getting the girl to stand up from her position.
[BRO💀]
"What's that supposed to mean?" She argued at him before getting suddenly pushed forward. 
[fr hahahaha]
Turning around, she found Hoshi motioning for her to get closer to Dokyeom to dance with him, but she shook her head.
"Hyung, do a sexy face!" Seungkwan shouted out, clapping along to the rhythm of the song.
[istg she's with them for like ten years and then finally gets to do grown up girlgroup dances AND THIS IS THE THANKS TO THAT]
While the members were hyping up their friend, Minnie hid her smile behind her hands as she sulked into her chair as far back as possible.
[i love how shy she gets about this still though]
[on stage a beast but off stage still so shy, I LOVE HER]
When it was finally over, the room filled with applause.
"Woah, hyung, that was so good!"
"How are you so good at that dance?"
[svt really is just a bunch of simps]
"He really looked just like Minnie on stage," Vernon jokingly commented. The girl shot up from her chair.
"Hey!" 
[he went to far with that comment hahaha]
With a few steps forward, she was close enough to her fellow '97 Liner, lifting her leg to try and kick him, but he was quick to jump back with a giggle. "I don't dance like that!" Minnie pouted.
[well... i mean...]
"But you do," the leader told her, relaxing back into his chair as he eyed the girl's expression.
[he's not even bothered by it anymore PLS]
"Stooop," she whined.
"Minnie-ya," Na-PD spoke up. "Do you want to go again and dance with Dokyeom?"
She quickly shook her head. "No, thank you." Getting a laugh from each of the members, including the staff and producers.
[no thanks, i choose to keep my career and not have it taken away by one of my members]
-
[i felt so bad for them during this episode]
[but can we talk about how minnie and dokyeom pushed an entire car?! i salute them]
With the wind hitting the members' faces, it was hard to talk, but they still made the best out of it, just like they did with most situations. 
[they really had to film gose on one of the windiest days of the month outside on the street🫠]
Minnie was trapped in between Dokyeom and Dino, violently shaking her legs, hoping to create some kind of warmth as the small heaters in her pockets were almost not helping her at all.
[SOMEONE PLS WARM HER UP]
[i bet mingyu's arms would be warm enough🤭]
"What do you think, Minnie-ya?" Woozi suddenly called out for her, making her look up. "You've been really quiet so far." Commenting on the unusual lack of banter coming from the girl, especially with the topics the members were discussing.
"I-I'm really cold, I'm sorry," she explained, a somewhat smile on her face as her lips felt frozen.
Seungkwan rolled his eyes, "Suck it up then," unfazed by her statement.
[...]
[KICK HIM MINNIE]
"Yeah, we're all cold. You're nothing special," Vernon added, getting the girl to sulk into her chair as the rest of the guys started laughing.
['you're nothing special'😭]
[i have no words, they're just annoying hahah]
-
[EVERYTHING ABOUT THE GOSE SCHOOL EPISODES WAS PERFECTION]
[can we just agree on that?]
Minnie rushed to the door the directors were standing in front of, the cameras focused on the door that was closer to the blackboard in the room. She opened the sliding doors after knocking, only to find eleven pairs of wide eyes already looking at her. After a quick bow to the teacher at the front of the room, she introduced herself,
"Hello, sorry for-", but he didn't let her finish,
"The girl's classroom is two rooms down the hall." 
[PFF]
[bitch]
She looked at the man, slightly perplexed, "But- but this is classroom 17, right? I'm supposed to come here."
Soft whispers from the rest of the guys could be heard,
"Is that the new girl everybody's talking about?"
"Wow... she's really pretty."
[facts jeonghan🤝🏼]
"I heard she's French," "Oh wow, really?"
"No, I think she's British."
[I BET YOU this was exactly what was going on in the heads of the trainees when she came to pledis]
[everyone's a simp for minnie]
[her members included]
"Aha," he nodded his head slowly, still unsure of the female, "A girl in an all boys' class... interesting. I don't know how I should feel about that."
[i love how this was one of the things they were most critisised for at the beginning of their career]
[but it made them even more unique than they already were]
[and now they just make fun of everyone who ever said it was weird]
[BC LOOK AT THEM NOW🔥]
And became very stern unexpectedly, "Why are you late?!" 
Minnie flinched at the sudden change of attitude and tried holding in her laughter after closing the door behind her to take a seat at the closest seat in the last row, "I-I'm sorry, I'm-"
"No, you don't get to sit in the back! There's still a free spot right here," the teacher pointed to the first row, where an empty table stood, right in front of him.
"I'm pretty comfortable here-" Again, she got interrupted by him shaking his head,
"No, no, no," and motioned for her to come forward. She sighed, earning a warning glance from Mr Lee Soon-eung, shutting her up quickly, before sitting down in the middle seat in the first row. 
[he was using this role to his advantage in EVERY way possible hahah]
"You interrupted me calling attendance."
She bowed her head, "Oh, I'm sorry. Please," and extended her hands, "continue."
"You don't get to tell me what to do," the homeroom teacher shook his head, getting a chuckle from most of the boys in the room and making the girl find a camera to look into.
[pls tell me she beat him up after filming HAHAH]
He went on, calling out the names, "Lee Seokmin?", the student raised his hand and answered,
"Yes, Mr. Lee!"
"Ah," then he stopped, "There you are on the list. Number 10... Kim Minnie," his eyes found the girl's again.
"That's me," she raised her hand politely, a pretty smile on her lips.
"I know. That's what I just said," he continued.
"Right," Minnie whispered, nodding before mumbling to herself and the microphone attached to her, "He already hates me..."
[she was so done😭]
-
[THIS WAS GOLD]
[inse really gives us some of the best moments ever]
[before we had the pink venom moment during game caterer, we had this:]
"We have something very important to discuss, everyone." Hoshi's face took up the entirety of the camera's shot as he spoke in a low tone. 
The practice room was not yet occupied by every member, so the background noise was limited to a few people talking while the songs of their newest album 'Attacca' were playing. 
"There's a member. In this group." He let his fingers run through his hair, checking himself out in the viewfinder. "Who... we should interview today. And that member is right... there." As he turned around, he revealed Minnie's form, right next to Jun, as they were presumably caught up in a conversation that made both of them chuckle. 
[never could i have ever predicted what he was going to talk about]
With her back turned towards the performance unit's leader, the taller '96 Liner had to point behind her to make her look around.
"What?" She wondered as her eyes found Hoshi's already trained on her.
With a smug smile, he walked over to the girl, the camera following his every step. 
[THE SMILE OF A DEVIL]
[right there is were we see kwon 'younger brother' soonyoung energy]
"I just told them," he pointed at the lens filming them, "there's a member that we should interview today." The tiger threw his arm around her smaller frame. "Do you want to tell Carats something?"
[here we go]
"Me?" Unknowing about what he was talking about, Minnie glanced at him wide-eyed. "What should I want to tell them?"
"You know," Hoshi nodded, but the female member just continued to stare at him.
[oh no]
"But I don't," she simply told him.
After clearing his throat, he took a deep breath, looking back at the camera again. "Everyone... a few days ago, the new episode of Street Woman Fighter came out-"
"Ah, stop it!" With a swift move, Minnie got out of his hold, brushing his arm off her shoulders with a frown. Her voice echoed through the practice room.
[RUN MINNIE]
The '96 Liner gazed at her with a grin on his lips. "What?" He played innocent. "You don't even know what I wanted to say."
[OH PLS]
[you sneaky little bitch]
"Of course, I know!" She whined. "You guys have been teasing me about this all week!"
[OH NOOOOO]
[i can only imagine how bad it must've been for her oh god]
[i just wanna know who she watched it with]
[scoups? wonwoo and mingyu? PLS]
"That's not true," he tried to argue back.
Minnie scoffed, "Yes, it is."
"Anyways," he brushed it off. "Carats, in case you haven't seen it yet-"
With a shuff to his side, Hoshi was kicked out of view from the camera -the culprit being Minnie. "Of course, they've seen it by now. So, stop it."
[she's so whiny when she gets shy hahahah]
[cuuutiiieee]
"No, we should talk about it." The dancer stayed calm and put his focus back on the camera, but was interrupted by the girl's voice.
"Jun!" She called out with a pained chuckle. "Help me!" Her arms tightly wrapped around the '96 Liner's bicep, cuddling into the loose sleeves of his shirt.
[bestie pls help]
[come support]
"Don't drag me into this!" Jun tried to get out of her grip. The girl's surprised facial expression made him laugh.
[well done bestie]
"You said you liked the performance!" 
[OH]
[alright junie]
After the episode had aired, the members saw the choreography HolyBang had created for Jessi's new song 'Cold Blooded'. And let's just say... they didn't expect their female member to go ALL OUT.
"Ya!" the '96 Liner shouted out. "Don't say it like that, that makes it sound weird! I said you looked really confident and comfortable."
['confident and comfortable'🥹🥺]
[i'm gonna cry, he's so supportive]
"And I did," Minnie crossed her arms in front of her chest. Hoshi took a step closer to her. "I really liked our performance too."
[WE ALL LOVED IT TOO MINNIE]
[don't listen to those men]
"Then that's all that matters." 
[MIC DROP]
Was Jun's last comment before he disappeared, leaving, much to her dismay, the girl alone with their unit's leader again.
"Well," he started, "that's not really ALL that matters."
[hoshi pls😭]
"Yes, it is."
"Seungkwan-ah!" He directed his attention to the '98 Liner that had stopped in front of the mirror, now glancing towards the duo with wide eyes.
[oh no, he's getting the devil involved in this]
"Huh?"
The '96 Liner's arm was back around the shoulders of the girl.
"What did you think about Minnie in the last Street Woman Fighter episode? HolyBang's performance."
"Oh, you mean this?" Without a warning, Seungkwan bent over, putting his ass up in the air before doing circles by bending his knees. His butt on full view for the rest of the room.
[PLS]
[I ALMOST PISSED MYSELF]
[HE'S SO FUNNY FOR WHAT]
"Stoooop!" Minnie crouched over giggling while Hoshi was clapping along with the main vocalist's performance right in front of them, a big smile on his face.
"Why is Seungwan impersonating Minnie?" Vernon suddenly wondered as he walked up to the small group, only getting another round of laughter from each of the members.
[I CAN'T ANYMORE]
"Guys," with sniffles, as the girl had started tearing up from laughing, the female idol whined. "Why do you do this to me?"
[girl is literally crying 😭😂😭]
"Why are you showing your butt like this on TV?" Seungkwan confronted her with a strict voice.
[listen]
[he might be asking the real questions here]
[BUT DON'T KEEP HER FROM DOING IT]
[we need more adult girly minnie]
[like, YES GIRL, SHAKE THAT ASS]
[god gave you that for a reason yk]
"You're being mean!" She shouted back at him, getting him to mimic her mad facial expression. Minnie shook her head with a smile. "I just did what Hanee-unnie told me to do. And it looked good." She turned around. "I'm sure, Carats will agree," and winked at the camera.
[YES WE DO M'AM]
"Agree with what?" Dino appeared to her left, smiling innocently at the female member.
[keep his eyes covered pls save the maknae]
"That HolyBang's performance was good."
"The one from last week?" He wondered.
Minnie nodded. The maknae's smile dropped as he pressed his lips into a tight line. With slow steps, he started walking backwards. One step at a time. Slowly. His eyes never left Minnie, who had her mouth slightly agape.
[OH BOY WAS NOT IMPRESSED HAHAHAHA]
[the image of his noona just got RUINED]
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Before he could answer, the familiar loud voice of Seungkwan bounced off the walls as he stood in the middle of the room.
"Hey guys!" He called out as most of the members had gathered. "Who am I?" And once again, he repeated the dance move, putting his butt up extra high. 
[DUUUUUDE]
[they ain't letting it go. EVER]
The joined laughter from all of the members could be heard through the camera.
"Ah, Seungkwan-ah!" S.Coups had to stop his chuckle, his hand half covering his eyes. "We've seen enough of this. Don't remind us."
[big bro to the rescue]
"Yeah, once was enough," Wonwoo's deep chuckle was immediately recognizable.
[OH]
[WONWOO WAS NOT IMPRESSED EITHER?!]
[shook]
[i just got reminded that he's really possessive]
[nvm i take that 'shook' back]
[dude's too obvious]
Minnie just shook her head, the lens back on her. "Help me," she whispered. "Help. Me."
[GIRLY GET BEHIND ME]
"Minnie-ya!" Jeonghan suddenly called out. "You did well!"
[I'M GONNA CRY]
"Thank you!" The girl was quick to react, smiling brightly at the second oldest, who was resting on the bench they had put up against the wall. Joshua sent her a thumbs-up as well.
[THEY'RE SO CUTE]
Surprisingly, Minghao jumped into the camera's view, his arm embracing Minnie right away. "Yeah, don't listen to them." He reassured her before talking towards the camera. "We're all actually really proud of Minnie," the two '97 Liner nodded in chorus as the girl chuckled. 
[crying again]
[may we pls all be gifted with a minghao]
[how dare he be so cute and supportive]
"It was a bit of a surprise, but the performance was really good." 
[oh, the money i would pay to see all of the guys' reactions to the performance]
Another smile at her earned him a tight embrace, making him laugh as he tightened his embrace. 
[IF THEY EVER GET PULLED APART EVER AGAIN, I WILL RIOT]
[DO NOT SEPERATE MINNIE AND HAOHAO]
The moment was ruined once the camera caught the BooSeokSoon trio in the mirror, all repeating the iconic moves of HolyBang's performance to Cold Blooded. 
[ngl though]
[they kinda ate that up]
This was going to haunt her for quite a while.
[i'm so sorry minnie HAHA]
-
minnie as 'one of the boys'
[or in other words: the members forgetting that minnie is a girl and like half their size]
[tbh i don't even know if you could call it 'forgetting' or rather just ignoring that she's a girl]
[which, ngl, love it]
[like yes, sometimes you'd definitely need to consider it, like whenever they talk about showering together and what not bc let‘s leave that to the melons prison times😂]
[but like... with everything else]
[those dudes do NOT give a single fuck]
[they either treat her like a bro or like a princess, there's literally no in between, AND I AM HERE FOR IT]
[she really gets the best of both worlds?]
[she's been one of the dudes since day one, and we have content to prove it:]
Mingyu surprised the rest of the group when he suddenly showed up, carrying Minnie in his arms.
[a queen should never walk, and that's on period💅🏼]
"What are you doing?" Woozi couldn't help but laugh as he eyed the two friends. The female trainee was tightly clinging onto the neck of her fellow '97 Liner.
[although, she does look like she ain't enjoying this even one bit]
"He's gonna drop me!" She whined out loud, re-securing her grip.
The boy shook his head, "No, I won't," before turning to the older member. "I wanted to see how long I could carry her for. She's really light, I think I could do this forever."
[did he just brag about his strength or compliment her body?]
[slay i guess]
Minnie rolled her eyes, "Yeah, alright... but I won't let you, so can you please put me down?"
[back then she wasn't taking advantage of it just yet]
[and then you watch in the soop and she's being carried around literally EVERYWHERE hahahah]
"Wait!" Aprubtly, Soonyoung rushed towards them, away from the conversation he was having with Chan. "I want to try to carry her too!"
[this seems like such a dude thing]
['i'm strong too, let me show you]
"Noo, why?" Ignoring her whine, Mingyu crouched down slightly as the older member had his arms already extended. They switched quickly, with Minnie having to loosen her grasp around the taller member's neck slowly, one hand leaving his skin first, only to switch onto Soonyoung's neck. As soon as her body was fully in the dancer's arms, he started bouncing her up and down, making her chuckle, but a frown was still evident on her face.
[annoying ass]
[KICK HIM MINNIE]
"No! Hyung, please!" Tightening her grip once again.
"Woah, she's really light!" 
[so you think i'm skinnyyyyy]
The '96 Liner commented, carrying her towards the middle of the room when the other members got closer to them.
Dokyeom got to her legs and started holding onto them. "Should we try throwing her up?" He suddenly asked.
[dude...]
[can they be any more bro-like?]
[like who even thinks of that?!]
[boys. that's who.]
A round of laughter and applause filled the room, "OOOH YES!", "Let's try it!" The whines of the girl were overheard by the boys as they gathered around her, each placing their hands on her back and legs.
[she was so helpless, oh god😭]
"Guys, no! Please, you're gonna drop me!" She shouted out, a nervous chuckle falling from her lips, not helping how scared she actually was.
[i would literally be screaming at the top of my lungs]
"We're not gonna drop you," Wonwoo tried to assure her, but it wasn't helping in the slightest.
[yeah alright, move over loverboy]
"Minnie," Vernon spoke up, "You have to let go of Soonyoung's neck."
"No!" She argued back while the older member was already moving his head around, trying to loosen her grip on him. Seungkwan got up behind him, his hands working on the girl's fingers that were intertwined.
[also: the staff? didn't care. not one bit.]
"Come on, Minnie, trust us," he chuckled as he pulled her hands apart.
"Ey, please, guys," she covered her face, still trying to get out of their hold. For some reason, even though she was scared to the bone, she couldn't help but chuckle.
[the nervous laugh is so real]
[like what else are you gonna do?]
Together, the guys lowered themselves slightly, bending their knees.o
"Alright, everyone!" Soonyoung called out. "On three!"
"No, stop!"
[panic]
"One! Two! Three!" As soon as the last number fell from his lips, the guys pushed their knees back up straight, extended their arms, and managed to throw the girl up into the air. Minnie's scream echoed through the room, still ringing in their ears once she fell back into their arms.
[it looks kinda fun]
[but jeez, i'd be pissing myself from fear]
"One more time! Higher!" It was Mingyu's turn. "One!"
"STOP!" The girl's exclamation was ignored - possibly because she was still laughing along with them.
"Two! Three!" And once again, the eleven members threw her up, only that this time, they underestimated their strength as the girl had to reach out with her hands, so her face wouldn't hit the ceiling.
[i actually would've died]
"OH!" A round of exclaims came from the boys as they were surprised by the sudden sound her hands made once they hit the hard material. 
[THEY LITERALLY THROUGH HER AGAINST THE CEILING]
Hastily, they tried to catch her again and lower her onto the floor. She caught them off-guard when she suddenly started to laugh.
"Oh my god, are you okay?" Vernon was the first to ask her, followed by Chan who got down on his knees.
"Noona, did you hurt yourself?"
"Are you okay?"
After taking a deep breath in, Minnie pushed away all the upper bodies that were now way too close to her face, for some reason still softly chuckling.
[how tf she can laugh in this moment, i don't know]
[i would be crying and running home]
"I told you guys to stop!" She was still trying to catch her breath, as she pushed herself up from the floor, Dokyeom trying to help her.
Seungkwan, Vernon, and Chan had taken a step back and watched her with wide eyes, fear written all across their faces.
Dokyeom lowered his head to meet her eyes as she fixed her hair. "Did you get hurt?"
"No," the girl shook her head. "I'm okay."
For a quick moment, the entire room fell quiet, only for Mingyu to break it again.
"Alright! Let's do it again!" Getting cheers from the others in return.
But the female trainee was already running away, her screams disappearing behind the door.
[BYE BYE]
-
"Jihoon has never had a girlfriend. Ever."
Vernon, Seungkwan, Jihoon, and Minnie were together cramped in the small room with muffled walls, that was right next to their practice room. The youngest one was talking to the camera.
[they're literally babies, I CAN'T]
"He doesn't even have friends that are girls."
[RUDE?!]
With furrowed brows, the girl turned to her right, glaring at the English-speaking member.
"And what am I then?" She wondered, making Vernon's head shoot in her direction.
[facts]
"Hm?"
"I'm friends with Jihoon," she explained, "And I'm a girl."
[you tell him girl]
"Oooh, yeah right," the young rapper nodded. "I keep forgetting that, I'm sorry."
[explain to me why i find this kinda edearing]
[she's so close with them and they're just enjoying their time together and do not give a shit about gender]
[#oneoftheboys]
His comment made the '96 Liner laugh and lean forward, giving the girl the perfect opportunity to grab the notebook from the table in front of her and whack Vernon across the head with it. The youngest groaned with a chuckle, his hand reaching for the back of his head.
[idk why but seeing minnie mad like that is so funny for no reason HAHAHA]
[she looks so cute, but then she just whips out a freaking notebook and hits you with it]
To his defence came Seungkwan, who snatched the notebook out of her grip, only to hit her with it as well. He added about twice the amount of strength, letting the sound of it hitting her skin ring through their ear.
She turned around, trying to regain the pieces of paper, but the younger member pulled back with a sheepish smile plastered on his face.
-
The girl's high-pitched giggles filled the room with joy as Chan joined her laughter while she ran around in circles, carrying him on her back.
[minnie is the best big sister ever and i will fight anyone who says otherwise]
[even in the melon prison, they were so happy🥺🥹]
"Noona, can you jump with me on your back?" The maknae wondered. 
[CHANIE]
[YOU LITTLE CUTIE]
Minhee didn't need to be asked twice as instead of answering him, she tried to do exactly that. Less of a jump and more of a gallop got another round of giggles from the trainees, making the girl continue doing the action.
After only a few seconds, the female member started breathing heavier than before as she slowed down.
"This is more exhausting than I thought," she commented as she lowered herself onto her knees, letting Chan get easily off her back. Minnie laid down on her stomach, her arms by her side as she enjoyed relaxing on the floor.
"Noona!" The youngest, still as excited as ever, threw himself onto her back, getting a groan from the older girl in return. "You're so much stronger than I expected." Making the girl chuckle.
[🥹]
[crying]
"Yeah, it surprised me too."
[minnie bulking up? let's gooo]
"Are we cuddling?" Seokmin's loud voice echoed through the room as he saw the two lying on the floor. 
[BABY]
[HE ASKED IF THEY WERE CUDDLING]
[STOP]
Without waiting for an answer, he copied the maknae and threw himself onto the two the same way. This time, a second groan came from the youngest.
[i mean, at this point, the ppor girl]
[come on guys]
Before any of them could rake themselves up again, the next trainee followed - Seungkwan.
Minhee moaned out in pain. "Guys, I'm still underneath all of you."
[hi, pls, help me]
Then came Mingyu, who let himself fall back onto the mass of his friends, his back hitting the '98 Liner's.
[this would've been my last straw]
Wonwoo decided to go next, slightly jumping up, so he could be at the very top.
[and there comes the next]
A chorus of moans filled the room.
"Guys," Seungcheol rushed over to the hill of people, ready to push them off. "Come on, guys, you're crushing Minhee." 
[thank you]
[THANK. YOU.]
[poor girl was about to see the light with all of that weight on her]
The younger members quickly reacted and got off again, one after the other, releasing the blockage of air the girl had experienced.
"You're all so much heavier than her," Joshua came towards them as he laughed at the antics of his fellow trainees. 
[aaaaand seventeen's gentleman back in the game]
He crouched down, his hand reaching out to help Minhee get up once she had rolled onto her back.
"Ugh," she groaned as she pulled herself up with the help of Jisoo's grip. "Thank you, Josh."
-
[what happens in the melona prison, stays in the melona prison]
[this too]
[although, i have to admit, i'm pretty convinced they would still do this]
Nine of the members had their arms tightly interlocked with each other as they lay on the floor in two separate rows. The six others were on their feet and trying to pull the other trainees apart. Somehow, Seungcheol had managed to tear away Wonwoo and Minhee from the rest of the chain as those two were clinging onto each other the tightest.
"Let go!" The oldest's shout was filled with laughter as he tucked on the '96 Liner's legs.
[can you imagine getting pulled away with cheol's strength]
[i'm convinced he could rip out an arm]
Mingyu saw his struggle and was quick to rush to his help, getting a hold of the girl's legs. With her starting to kick like a fanatic, it was hard for him to hold his grasp, sighing in relief once he got her loose pants's leg.
"Mingyu!" She called out. "You're taking off my pants!"
[smh]
"Then let go!" He argued back.
[WHAT KIND OF ANSWER EVEN IS THAT]
[mingyu, how about you try to use less strength on a girl that's two heads smaller than you]
Minhee started kicking her legs again, hoping the boy wouldn't accidentally expose her underwear and naked legs.
[i love how her number one defence mechanism, after throwing random shit, is kicking them]
[bc same]
"Cheol-hyung! He's gonna take off my clothes!" She shouted out for the oldest member, who looked up at the '97 Liners.
[and just when she thought big bro cheol would come to the rescue]
"Stop kicking, then we can pull you guys apart!" 
[he pulls this...] 
He surprised the female trainee with his answer, originally hoping for his support. She was caught off guard as she was still busy trying to keep her pants up when she suddenly felt an emptiness by her arm. Looking to her side, she found Wonwoo an arms-length away from her.
[and there goes her other half]
"No, hyung!" Minhee laughed as she tried to sit up and stand up completely, but instead, she felt another tug on her leg. Before she could react, the floor was already being swiffered with her body. Mingyu's evil laughter rang through her ears as Dokyeom joined in. His hands wrapped around right arm while the rapper still had his grip on her left leg. 
[they were EVIL]
[how tf is she supposed to defend herself against THAT]
Helping pleas and giggles from the only female trainee filled the room, but went ignored as the guys started adding to the laughter. The other members who were already separated decided to just sit on the floor and watch the '97 Liner group with big smiles on their faces.
[no helping hand in sight]
[love it]
-
[going from the melona prison, to even more public on camera]
[oh, you thought they'd stop once they became famous? hell no.]
The members were lined up in front of the pool, all ready for their sign-off towards the camera on the other side.
"Seventeen!" Jeonghan started them off, with the rest of the members following him. "TTT!"
Minnie was about to turn around and walk away when she suddenly felt two strong arms wrapping around her torso. Mingyu had her tight in his embrace as he turned her to the side, his mischievous giggle right next to her ear.
[here we go again]
[how she managed to survive stuff like this for 10+ years now, with no broken bones, i'll never understand]
"Let go of me!" She shouted, but Seungcheol had already grabbed her legs, lifting them up. The girl tried to kick him away from her, "NO!" 
But before she could do much, the two strongest members of the group had already started rocking her body back and forth by the side of the pool. 
[how is this fair ...]
[like bffr, at least give her a chance ...]
On three, they let go of her, letting Minnie disappear underneath the surface, her scream muffled by the water. All of the members stared at the pool with their mouths agape.
[bc they really had to THROW her]
[they couldn't have just pushed her in the pool, no they literally had to throw her up in the air, to make her entire body turn]
With a gasp, she came back up to grasp for air, her hands running over her face as she tried to free it from her hair.
"You idiots!" She cursed at them with a giggle, but the guys were already on the floor, clutching their stomachs, trying to control their laughter.
-
[THIS]
[i would've left]
[i'm telling you as it us]
[no contract renewal bc of this betrayal]
For a good five minutes, Seugnkwan, Minnie, and Mingyu were hurdled up in the stairwell of the warehouse. They had yet to open the doors and enter the corridor that would officially lead them into the horror house the Going Seventeen staff had set up. The rapper had already tried once but as soon as one of the killers crossed his eyes, he closed the door again right away.
"Ok," the '98 Liner took a deep breath. "Noona, you go first."
[what a gentleman]
Her head whipped in his direction. "What?! Why me?"
But the younger member just shrugged.
"Please, Minnie-ya," Mingyu practically begged her. With her mouth slightly agape, she glared at both of her members.
[DUDE, YOU'RE 6FT2, FUCKING ACT LIKE IT]
"Are you- you know what, alright." She brushed their fear off of her and opened the door, not able to see the little claps the two did in celebration of getting her to go in first.
[i can definitely tell that if she hadn't agreed to it, they would've just pushed her in through the door]
-
The three had just managed to run away from the first few killers they had encountered and were now stuck in a dark room. Mingyu had closed the door as they all rushed to the very end of the room, trying to get as far away as possible.
Minnie couldn't help but continue her giggle that had started once she was being chased.
[for now she's laughing🙃]
"Why are you laughing?" The rapper hissed at her in a whisper, clearly shaken up by the situation.
At his reaction, the girl crumbled over, her hands falling to her knees as she laughed out loud. Then she pointed at the youngest of them.
"Look at him," chuckling at the crying expression Seungkwan held. 
[OLDER SISTER BEHAVIOR]
[she's literally making fun of him while he's almost having a mental breakdown, what😂😭]
He was quick to switch to a neutral face, glaring at the girl before lifting his hand, and threatening her with a slap on the back of her head, making her slightly flinch.
[some members need to learn how to fight back just like seungkwan does]
[not looking at anyone in particular👀]
Before she could react back to him, the door unexpectedly opened, revealing one of the killers with the light-up mask, catching the three idols off-guard. Subconsciously, the two male members, grabbed the girl by her arms, trying to hide behind her much smaller frame.
"What?! I'm gonna-" the '98 Liner tried to toughen up. "You've been waiting for a long time, right?" 
[don't even try seungkwan💀]
[don't even]
Minnie tried to free herself of their grip on her shoulders but was unable to do so. Once the killer started to get closer, the three moved together in synch, further away from him, along the wall, towards the opposite corner of the room.
[they were CLUTCHING onto her for dea life, jesus, let a girl breathe]
One quick look towards the door showed them the next killer that had shown up, the killer clown.
"Oh, what?!" Mingyu cried out, clutching tighter onto the girl's arms. She continued to brush his hands off her. 
[not impressed]
Seungkwan's scared whines echoed through the room and hallways, only adding to the thrill of the situation they were put in. The masked killer was to their left, slowly getting closer, while the clown decided to stay by the door.
As if the guys had made a pact, with one push to the left, Seungkwan and Mingyu threw the girl right into the killer's chest, leaving everyone not involved in their action in shock. The two rushed out of the room, leaving the girl alone.
[I'M SO DONE]
[THEY CANNOT BE FFR]
[DID THEY REALLY JUST THROW HER LIKE THAT?! yes they did]
"Are you kidding me?!" She shouted out as the man made sure she stood up straight, his arms that had caught her now back relaxed by his body. "They really just did that...," she shook her head in disbelief, mumbling under her breath. A comforting pat on the shoulder made her look up. 
[they were so sweet 😭😭]
[scary horror killers that have a soft spot for minnie]
[don't we all]
The actor of the killer was looking at her while his free hand pointed at the door. The clown had copied his motion, showing her the way out.
"Are you letting me go?" She wondered, her fingers running through her hair to straighten it out.
She got a nod in return.
"Because those idiots left me here to die?"
Another nod.
"Thank you," Minnie sent them a tight smile.
[SO SWEET]
After a quick exchange of looks with each of the killers, Minnie sprinted out of the room, the actors waiting a few seconds before rushing after her.
[and back to killing]
[btw still mad they all made it out, minnie should've left them there]
-
[i just have one thing to say: i want to go on vacation with them]
[i am BEGGING]
Woozi, Dokyeom, Joshua, Dino, Wonwoo, and Hoshi were still focused on their water game, passing the ball around in the circle they had formed. Vernon had gotten out of the pool, leaving Minnie alone on one of the floaties. 
[they were so unbothered in this scene, i love them for that]
The floating pineapple pool mattress gave her the perfect opportunity to rest on her back and close her eyes, just listening to her other members playing their game.
[how she can be so quiet and unbothered while they are literally shouting and being as loud as possible is still a mystery to me]
[it's like her superpower almost]
Her fellow '97 Liner noticed her still form, not having moved for at least fifteen minutes. The game came to a halt as he ushered the guys into a smaller circle, exchanging whispers and chuckles between them. 
[this isn't gonna end well]
Shortly after, the maknae made his way over to the girl as carefully and slowly as possible. The sudden quietness made the girl slightly suspicious, opening her eyes to see what was going on. 
[oh oh]
She noticed the movement. She pushed herself up, and her eyes fell on the youngest of the group.
[got ya bitch]
"What are you doing?" But she got no verbal answer other than a sinister giggle.
The members were already waiting in position, all on one half on the floatie when Hoshi started counting to three with his fingers. 
[bye minnie]
The girl caught on to their prank. “Wait! Wait, guys!" As quickly as she tried to move away, Minnie was still too slow.
Once he held up three fingers in the air, the guys put their hands underneath the mattress and lifted it easily, throwing her into the water, her scream getting muffled underneath the surface.
[...]
[girl just wanted to relax]
[and this is what she gets]
[no quiet day for seventeen ever]
With proud claps and hollers, the guys cheered on themselves as the girl got back up, her hands immediately pushing her hair out of her face.
[how proud they are of themselves 😭]
"What the hell was that for, you idiots!" She laughed out loud. Before any of them said something back, Hoshi started splashing her frantically with water, making her turn around and hide her face. The rest of them quickly joined in, all attacking her with splashes.
[AND THEN THIS]
"GUYS!" She continuously shouted, all covered by laughter from each member inside the pool.
[LET HER BREATH, jesus]
When they finally stopped, she turned back around towards them, glancing at each of them with a small smile on her face.
"I hate you all." Getting a chuckle from each of them. 
[yeah yeah]
[you love them, we know it]
They were about to get back to their game when Minnie suddenly attacked Dokyeom by jumping on his back, catching him off-guard and slightly stumbling back. In return, he let himself fall backwards, taking her down with him, both laughing all the way.
Once they got back up, they were separated again, and as if both had agreed on the next move, together they started attacking the person next to them with water - the victim being Woozi.
With no warning, Minnie was suddenly lifted up by Hoshi, who just threw her back into the water. She was quick to come back up to the surface to start splashing him right away. The '96 Liner got support from the youngest, joining in to attack the female member. She, in return, got help from Wonwoo, who had joined her side and started helping her. 
[this was all just so chaotic]
[i love them all]
-
The next emotion for their SVTSIDE OUT episode was anger and Seungcheol started it all when he suddenly shouted out loud, his deep growl too close to Minnie's ear. In return, the girl pushed him harshly away from her.
"What is wrong with you?! Don't scream like that!"
[only minnie is brave enough to do this to cheol]
Instead of a verbal answer, S.Coups grabbed her arm and threw her onto the soft part of the trampoline they were standing on. 
[A FULL SLAM]
[LIKE DUDE]
[come on bro]
[don't do this to her]
[i was so shocked hahahah]
With a heavy huff, she landed on the ground, but before she could get up, the '95 Liner had already started jumping around, making her body bounce off of the stretchy fabric. The members came to his help, using the strength of their knees as they made the female member unable to stand up.
[no mercy]
"Stay down!" Dokyeom shouted at her, to which she couldn't help but giggle when she screamed back at him.
[none at all]
"What the hell is wrong with you?!"
Somehow, Minnie managed to get onto her wobbly legs, only for Joshua to throw his arm around her shoulder and pull her down with him. While he chuckled, the girl groaned, squirming around as she tried to get away from him
"Get off me, you wannabe wrestler!"
[WANNABE WRESTLER 💀]
-
her actions speak for themselves 
[you better bet i'm putting in another scene from street woman fighter]
The nine women of HolyBang had gathered in their green room, waiting for further instructions as they got comfortable on the sofa and chairs. Some of them had already turned to their phones, while others had started talking to each other.
"Who do you guys think are gonna be the strongest rivals?" Belle suddenly asked the rest of the members.
Hertz shrugged, her eyes glued to the screen in her hands. "I don't really care, we're strong anyway, we shouldn't worry too much about that."
[PERIOD GIRL]
[i love how confident they were]
[gotta teach me their way, please]
"Oh," Minnie chuckled nervously, "I was ready to say YGX, but that's gonna sound really insecure now."
[GIRLY😭]
"Yeah, don't say it, please," the older woman chuckled. "Let's stay confident."
[facts]
A sudden laugh surprised the women. Honey J was hunched over on her chair.
"What?" Taro wondered, chuckling at her leader.
The older women pointed at the youngest of them all. "I just love how Minnie is sitting like the most confident dude, but wanted to talk about being scared of the other groups."
[well, who do you think she got that from]
And she wasn't wrong. Minnie had her knees wide apart, her back half on the seating cushions on the sofa while only her head and shoulders leaned against the backrest.
[SHE DOES]
"Oh," she chuckled, "Sorry," and pushed herself up immediately, straightening her back.
"No, no, no," the older woman reached out to her. "You should look relaxed. It makes you seem more confident, that's good."
[and that's why she's perfect]
[WE LOVE YOU HONEY J]
"Fake it 'till you make it," Belle nudged Minnie's shoulder as she repeated a phrase she had recently learned from the younger girl, getting a giggle out of her.
-
[yes, another game caterer moment]
[i loved these episodes just too much alright]
[can you blame me?!]
The members had just changed into the basketball jerseys the staff had provided for them and were making their way onto the field. The weather was slightly cooler than expected, so Minnie had put on a long-sleeved shirt underneath. Each jersey seemed to have come in the same size as her white one was almost reaching her knees.
The guys had started throwing the ball around randomly, each of them trying to get it into the net. 
"Minnie-shi?" Na-PD called out for her, making the girl turn around towards the cameras. "Didn't they give you pants? Do you want some sweatpants?" He kindly wondered, two staff members behind him already standing up.
[okay but can we talk about how sweet he is?!]
[i mean, the entire staff seems amazing]
[but i love this man so much]
Without thinking twice, the girl suddenly pulled up her jersey, revealing the black biker shorts she had put on. 
[WITH NO WARNING]
The action surprised the staff members as they gasped and quickly turned their heads, as they had thought she was still without any piece of clothing on her legs.
"Minnie-shi!" 
[their life literally just flashed right in front of their eyes]
[jesus christ minnie HAHAHAH]
[💀💀]
This time, the members' attention was also turned towards the staff, their eyes though on the girl who chuckled,
"What?"
"We thought you weren't wearing anything underneath," another female staff member explained, joining in laughing at the moment they had shared.
"Oh my god, I'm sorry!" She giggled, scrunching over as laughter took over her body.
[don't scare them like that girl]
"What?" The leader suddenly came forward, switching gazes between the staff and the girl. "What's going on?" 
[protective bro is back]
Still confused when Minnie leaned on him for support, the laughter coming from her and the people behind the camera still filling his ear. 
"What happened?" Now it was Hoshi's time to ask.
[protective bro #2]
"I-" the female member tried to explain through her giggles. "They- They thought I wasn't wearing anything under the shirt, so I showed them." She repeated the action, catching some of the members off-guard as well as S.Coups, who was quick to reach out, pulling her jersey back down again.
[HE REACTED SO QUICKLY]
[like, how many times has this happened before that he just reacts within AN INSTANT]
"No! I'm wearing the biker shorts." Minnie pulled the jersey up, revealing her choice of pants. "But they weren't expecting it."
A slap on her shoulder made her turn to the side. Vernon's bright smile was shining at her, his uncontrollable laughter only making hers start again too.
[supportive younger bro that finds everything you do hilarious]
[love him]
"Oh," Seungcheol chuckled as he shook his head. "Don't do it like that," he scolded her, gently nudging her shoulder as she was still laughing with the '98 Liner.
[pls scold me like that coups]
-
[everything about this game was so chaotic]
The game was at full speed, with Mingyu, Dokyeom and Joshua from the white team on the field, while Minnie, Jun, Dino, and S.Coups were sat on the bleachers.
DK tried to pass the ball to his fellow '97 Liner, but Wonwoo, who only shortly before got switched in, blocked Mingyu and the ball fell outside of the field's line.
"Wow," the girl commented with a nod, the '96 Liner clearly better than expected.
The deep voice from the PD behind her made her jump. "Minnie just said 'wow'!" Letting the rest of the crew and idol group know. Her head shot back to the older man.
[snitch]
"Wait, what?! 'Wow'?! Because of 'wow'?!"
[fr hahah]
"Minnie-ya!" The leader to her left punched her shoulder, making her wince slightly.
[a punch from coups really must leave a bruise]
[dude is STRONG]
The maknae next to her put his hand on her upper arm. "Noona," he spoke softly, to which the girl turned back around, her eyes immediately on him. "It's 'woah'. 'Wow' really is English." He explained with a tight smile, but Minnie could only groan out loud.
[PLS HE'S ADORABLE]
['noona' will forever be my favourite word from him🥺]
"YA!" From the field came Mingyu's deep voice. "Minnie-ya, get over here!" His right hand had a tight grip on the basketball.
[RUN GIRL]
[RUN]
The girl stood up with her arms crossed. 
[she was SO ready to fight ...]
[the confidence she built up over the years to be ready to fight a 6ft2 man should be studied bc this is insane]
Before she could say anything, a strong arm wrapped around her shoulders and pulled her down. Seungcheol held her in a tight lock.
[and here we go]
[you're supposed to be the protective bro, wtf is this coups]
"Let go of me!" She shouted out, holding onto his arm, trying to open it, so she could escape.
[big bro taking advantage of his strength, smh]
"Do you promise not to speak English anymore?" He asked her, laughing at her trying to fight his strength.
[😭]
[he's literally enjoying this 🥲]
"I didn't even know 'wow' wasn't Korean! How the hell am I supposed to know that?!"
She was freed very suddenly, her hair all over the place as she took a deep breath before falling back to the bleachers with a huff.
[you got this minnie]
[i believe in you]
The leader nudged her shoulder. "No, stand up and go in. Dokyeom's gonna go out."
With that, she pushed herself off the benches and switched positions with DK but before the game started, Mingyu walked up to her, the basketball still in his possession. Thanks to her back being turned towards him, she couldn't see his form coming closer. Once he was right behind her, he held the ball up, letting it drop onto her head from a short distance, just to tap it, not to actually hurt her.
[pls kick him]
The girl flinched with a surprised expression and turned around, finding the mischievous grin of her fellow '97 Liner.
"You deserved that."
-
As Minnie decided to stay out of the game, she was sitting next to Woozi on one of the stools provided by the Game Caterer staff. Seungcheol had joined them after losing his challenge and having to eat four pieces of lemon. Now it was Jeonghan's turn to sit down next to them, a cup filled with his own amount of lemon pieces in his hands.
The singer took one of the slices and bit into it, an instant groan tumbling from his lips.
Minnie turned her head. "Give me some," the girl held out her hand. "I can help you eat them."
"Isn't that cheating?" He wondered, making the girl chuckle.
[COMING FROM YOU?!]
"Since when do you care about that?" To which he nodded, taking one lemon piece out of the cup and handed it over to her.
[fr hahahah]
With ease, the female idol bit into it, sucking the juice out first, before ripping the lemon's flesh from the peel, jewing on it as she put the rest of it back into the paper cup.
With shock written across his face, Jeonghan gazed at her. "You don't think it's sour?"
Minnie shrugged. "I don't mind it. I really like it."
[hell yeah]
"What do you like?" Seungcheol's head popped up as he leaned back to glance past Woozi's frame to look at the girl.
"Sour lemon. Do you want me to help you with yours too?"
"You want to eat my lemons?" He wondered, slightly surprised by her request.
The '97 Liner nodded and reached out, holding out her empty palm to the leader, who placed one piece on it.
"Give me two," she stated, to which she got another slice. With a grin, she sat back straight and enjoyed chewing on the citrus fruit.
Seungcheol sighed. "Woah, I didn't know you became that much of a cheater."
[well]
[who do you think taught her that 🫣]
With a proud grin, Jeonghan patted her knee, leaning forward a slight bit to get a look at the leader. "I taught her well," he commented before his hand ran over her long hair.
[HE'S SO PROUD OF THAT]
[jeonghan is just so happy he got another member on his cheat agenda hahah]
-
but at the end of the day, they love and care for her
[as much as i love them for their sibling energy]
[and them making fun of minnie]
[and teasing the shit out of her]
[I AM SO SOFT FOR THEIR CUTE MOMENTS]
[like look at this]
"Noona!" Seungkwan's voice made the girl turn around from the conversation she was having with Jun about the Harry Potter Lego set he had just won. The game the Na-PD and the rest of the Game Caterer producers had prepared was over and everyone was free to take the presents that didn't get picked in the first place.
Minnie walked up to the younger member who had called out for her.
"What is it?"
His hand reached out, holding a few of the pebble snacks he had taken for himself. "Eat this."
The female member shook her head. "No, thank you-"
"You haven't eaten much today yet, take this." He grabbed her hand and put each snack piece into her palm.
[when i tell you i teared up?!]
"Seungkwan-ah, only a few."
"No, take all of them." He answered back, brushing off her comment. 
[he wasn't having it]
[TAKE IT AND EAT IT]
With full hands, she turned back around and stopped by Jun again as she put one pebble into her mouth.
"Do you want some?" She asked the taller member.
For a second, he looked down at her hands before shaking his head. "No, you should eat them. Thank you, though." Giving her back a comforting pat.
[🥹]
-
The members were standing in the 'living room' of their dorm, looking up and speaking into the camera that was being held up by Joshua. 
Once Hoshi and Dokyeom finished their sign-off, they disappeared into another room, making room for Jeonghan, who had been hiding behind Joshua. He was just about to say something as his mouth opened, but the sudden appearance of the female trainee from around the corner made his eyes light up.
"Oh, Minnie-ya, come here for a second!" The older of the two called out for the girl. With a smile on her face, she crossed the floor and walked up to the '95 Liners as they broke apart, leaving a space in between them for her. 
[BABIES]
[they look so young, oh my god]
Jeonghan raised one of his arms to welcome her, making her look straight into the camera.
"Today is a very special day for Minnie-ya. Do you want to tell them why?" He asked her, making a shy grin appear on her lips.
[he literally looks like a proud mom]
[🥺😭]
[somebody get me tissues pls]
She turned her head to look at him.
"Do you mean the test?" She softly wondered, getting an encouraging nod from the member in return.
"Oh, well," her lips curled up even more. "Today I had to take a Korean language test, and I passed."
"Don't just say you passed!" Jeonghan whined at the younger girl. "Because you passed extremely well." He turned to the camera, "She got all the points, guys."
[SUPPORTIVE AF]
Minnie nodded, her hands clutching onto each other. "Yeah... I'm now officially a B2 Korean speaker."
[slayyy]
"Is that the highest ranking?" Joshua wondered, turning his head towards her.
"No, it's like levels. B2 means I can speak it well enough to hold up more complicated conversations, but I still don't know specific words and... terminology. That would be C1. And then C2 is that you speak it like it's your first language," she explained.
[our smart girly👑]
Jeonghan nodded, "But you've been here for four years already, so you'll be at C1 very soon. And then C2," he patted her head, getting a smile from her in return before she waved into the camera and disappeared again.
[pls i need somebody to be this supportive of me too]
"She's really smart with languages. I don't think even I would be at a C1 or B2 level now," Joshua admitted. The older '95 Liner couldn't help but chuckle.
"Learning new languages seems really easy for her. But she also worked very hard and studied a lot for this test."
[yes pls praise her even more guys]
"That's true," the Korean-American agreed, smiling into the camera. "Everyone, please congratulate Minnie."
[!!!]
-
The team had just scored another point at the foot volleyball match they were playing. The big white walls were shining brightly in the background of the studio they had rented for the Going Seventeen episode. After celebrating the added point, Minghao passed the ball to the opposite team.
"No, no, it's ours," Jeonghan told him, but it had already gone over the net.
With his foot, Mingyu hit the ball to land in the other team's half, but he underestimated the strength he had put into the pass. The ball flew over the net, right to where Minnie was looking down at her pants, straightening out the creases, not realising the ball was getting dangerously close to her head.
Dino was quick to react as he rushed to stop in front of her, smacking the ball away from her before it could hit her face. The girl flinched up, her wide eyes glancing around the room. 
The members wooed their maknae as he ran a hand through his hair, proud of the scene he had created. 
[PLS]
[DINO]
[the confident boost omg]
Their claps bounced off the walls before they got interrupted by Seungcheol's voice.
"Ya! Mingyu-ya, be careful," scolding the younger member.
[exactly]
[go cheol go defend her!]
Minnie glanced at her fellow '97 Liner. "That was you?"
He quickly bowed after nodding. "My bad."
[cutie]
With a smug smile, Dino let his jacket fall from his shoulder, looking at the girl, who started giggling at his antics.
She patted his shoulder, "Alright, you got your Drama moment." 
[KDRAMA MOMENT HAHAHAHA YES]
[i need to be friends with her, pls god]
To which maknae started laughing out loud, his arms wrapping around the female member.
-
With the cameras placed around the dorm, the viewers of The Manager were able to see each room the Seventeen members lived in.
Minnie was standing in front of the mirror in the living room, holding up different bottoms in front of her legs. She had two pairs of pants and a skirt in her hold. 
"How does the skirt look with this top?" She turned to Wonwoo who was sitting on his makeshift bed in the corner, and Seungcheol who had found a place on the floor.
[i love how the members probably could not care less about this but she still wanted their opinion]
The '96 Liner lifted his head up from looking at his phone screen.
"It's really short. I'm not sure you should wear that."
[protective mode activated]
Before Minnie could say anything, their leader took the word. "You shouldn't." 
[HIS VOICE]
[deep ass voice cheol is my biggest weakness]
He got a roll of her eyes in return, making him sigh as he pushed himself up. "It's also way too cold for that. You're gonna get sick."
[minnie is so much stronger than me bc i would obey to his every word]
[but girl was NOT having it]
"I asked you how it looks, not what I should and should not wear. I can decide that for myself," the girl snapped at the older members, mostly directing her comment at the '95 Liner as he stopped in his tracks right next to her.
[OH OKAY]
[and that's on period]
[biggest slay]
[but talking back to scoups 🫣]
[that's pure bravery]
"I'm only telling you my opinion," he stated, his voice still laced with tiredness as he had just woken up. "Do you think I would give you advice like that if it wasn't meant well for you?" 
[STOP CHEOL]
[YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME CRY]
His question made the girl shut her mouth. Without another word, she turned around and walked back into her room. She came back out wearing a pair of black pants.
[the power 'coups holds is absolutely insane]
-
After Youngji took another big sip of her glass, she let it hit the table again. A big sigh fell from her lips.
"But for real," she started, "I really like all of your members. I was nervous when I first met them, but they really are... something else."
[she's such a fangirl, i love it]
Minnie nodded, her mouth still full from the rice cake she was eating.
"I know. I always say that... I really do think that all of them are gentlemen. Because," she cleared her throat. "When we debuted, Joshua was known as 'the gentleman of seventeen' but in reality, all of them are really really nice. And like gentlemen."
[i will cry]
[like rn]
[the fact that she even says it]
[this means so much to me]
[they love each other so much]
"Even when they punch you?" Youngji laughed along with her question as she remembered one of the stories Minnie had told her.
[YOUNGJI HAHAH]
The '97 Liner joined her. "Even then! Mingyu even threw me into a wall once when we were trainees, but that's just what you're like with people you're comfortable with and like." 
[?!]
[their stories will forever haunt me]
[like what do you mean he threw you into a wall and you just go 'alright' ...]
She ended her statement with a shrug.
The younger rapper chuckled as she choked on her drink. "Or that's what they tell you, so you'll believe that."
[💀 FACTS]
"NO!" Minnie shouted out, hitting the other girl's shoulder as they laughed in chorus.
"No, no, but seriously, they are very very kind," Youngji stated after they both had calmed down.
[we stan the right group]
The female idol nodded. "That's right. I honestly- I don't even remember the last time I paid for... like food or something. When I was with them."
"What?"
[exactly]
[what?]
[excuse me?]
"Every time we're out together, one of the members pays for me," Minnie explained, her back resting against the wall.
[she's saying this as if it's the most normal thing ever?!]
"Are you serious?" Youngji was clearly taken aback by the words of the woman in front of her, glancing towards the producers and back at Minnie.
[i love how shook she is hahaha]
But she just nodded with a smile on her face. "Yeah... I mean," she turned towards the cameras, "Don't get me wrong, I can very well pay for myself and I really try," before looking at the '02 Liner again. "But they don't let me. Every time I go to pay, one of the members says 'I already covered it'."
[a girl that can pay for her own stuff but gets treated like the princess that she is]
[hell fucking yes]
[THIS IS SO FUCKING CUTE]
[i just want to know which member does this the most]
[my guess is cheol, mingyu or hao]
[maybe joshua or wonwoo too]
[or jun would do that too]
[woozi definitely too with his black card]
[and dk would for sure treat his fellow '97 Liner as well]
[but seungkwan and dino would want to treat their favourite noona too]
[and vernon won't let his bestie pay either]
[alright, so i guess just all of them]
"Woah!" The female rapper looked at the table with an open mouth, still taking in what the idol was telling her. "See! See what I mean?!" Making everyone in the room errupt in laughter. "I want to have members like that! I want members to take care of me like that!"
[YOUNGJI'S SO REAL FOR THAT]
[good luck to minnie’s future partner]
[her standards must be 📈📈📈📈]
[AS THEY SHOULD BE]
"I will share my members with you, okay?" Minnie proposed to her.
Youngji's eyes lit up. "Would you really?"
With a sheepish smile, the '97 Liner grinned at her. She shook her head, "No, I wouldn't." Getting a groan in return. 
[HAHAHAH]
[possessive minnie for the win]
[but let's be real]
[i wouldn't ever share them either]
"They're my members!" She then turned towards the camera again. "I love you, guys!" Raising her arms up, with her fingertips touching the top of her head, she formed a heart.
[conclusion: seventeen is the cutest group ever]
[thank you very much]

I LOVEEEEE your writing sm especially the riize nct and enha ones (frankly cause i only write fics of them) THE SUNGCHAN ONE I LOVEEEE it and i also love the emha series i hope it doesnt get shelved <//3 BUT ALSO SWEETNESS i hope you inspire alot of writers cause istg the riize x male reader space is SO SMALL LIKE theres probably 3 and 1 just uses the tag cause a riize member is a second lead and even the enha x male reader its suddenly all dead apparently
if you dont mind also i love the sungchan x male reader fic you did i requested it help but i cant really relate to it cause a. my fem ass cant and b. will NEVER work out fuck weights so if you can you dont have to have smut where an insecure fem gay reader thinking sungchan might not be into him cause hes either het or into masc gays so his shock when he confessed he was into him you could decide anything else thank youuuuuu
An interesting request! I don't really think about if the male POV is providing a masc or fem vibe, more that they're male. I don't really describe physical characteristics for the male POV so they're a blank slate, but I think I'll give this a shot! I may... change things a little though. As for my other work, thank you so much for liking it! I want to continue the Enha work, but I added more to my plate so I need to catch up!
Unexpected
Tumblr media
PLEASE READ WARNINGS CLOSELY, TRIGGER WARNINGS
Summary: You've always tried to be closed off to the world around you, as hateful as it is. But one person seems to shine better than the rest, Sungchan is the only person who understands you.
Warnings: Male Reader, Attempted SA, Bullying, Homophobia, Forced undressing, Violence
Wordcount: 2.2k
Your forehead grew colder as you laid your head on the desk, looking out the window. Students laughed and talked all around you but you couldn't hear anyone. Birds in the sky, students coming to school, teachers giving lectures were all irrelevant to you when he was around... Sungchan, one of the more popular students in your class sat across the room from you. You'd known him since you were little but always kept your distance, never trying to enter his bubble.
Being openly gay put a target on your back, but you were happy not to have to hide that about yourself from anyone. The beatings were something to hide from. Most of the time you'd been picked on for being "girly", or talking funny, or some would beat you up for looking gay.
But not Sungchan. He always treated you so kindly. He'd offer his jacket, leave a snack on your desk between classes, and smile at you as you passed him in the hallway.
Your heart flew anytime you saw him. But you also knew he was just being nice. Because he's a nice person. Other than being nice, he was another straight guy who put up a front to look good in front of the girls who swooned over him. Even though you couldn't stop yourself from glancing at him, you couldn't risk your heart. You'd imagined it; asking Sungchan out and seeing the disgusted look on his face as he pushed you away, probably running off to tell everyone what you'd done.
"Y/n, you'll be partnered with Sungchan for the assignment. Now that everyone's been assigned a partner, I expect it to be done and ready to be turned in by tomorrow!" Your teacher's words snapped you out of your horrible daydream. You looked around to try and catch what you'd missed. A partner assignment, some sort of book report, and you had to be partnered with him–of all people.
You tried to pack your things quickly, maybe if you rushed out the door before he caught you–
"Y/n! We're partners!" Sungchan spoke to you cheerfully as he sat in the empty seat near you.
You lowered your head and looked at him. "Yes, seems so," You mumbled.
"We were assigned about LGBTQ rights for the book report."
You rolled your eyes. Of course, you have to report on LGBTQ rights. You sighed as you packed your things into your bag, ignoring Sungchan, and headed for the door.
He followed you closely. "So did you want to meet up somewhere? Like a cafe? Or even my place?"
Your heart skipped a beat at the thought of you, alone with Sungchan at his house. But you steeled your resolve. "You shouldn't stand so close to me, they might hate you too," You said as you walked a little faster to gain some distance.
Sungchan's long legs made it too easy to keep at your heels. "Hate me too? Someone hates you, who?"
You shrugged. "Every girl who sees me talking with you, and maybe almost every boy in the school."
"Why?"
"Don't be irritating."
"I'm not trying to be, I just want to understand!" Sungchan tried to step in front of you but you sidestepped him.
You looked over your shoulder at him. "Don't. You'll ruin things for yourself, and I'll get the worst of the hate."
Sungchan grabbed the back of your bag, pulling you to him as you tried to walk off. "At least give me your number to talk about the project. Then I'll let you go." Eyes started landing on you as Sungchan held you in place. You could hear them laughing, and teasing, and the sneers on their faces were like always. You quickly and softly told Sungchan your number, with just enough time to run before he could reply.
You ran out the school doors, around the corner, and down a few blocks. Your chest heaved to catch the air it lost, but you kept walking to put more distance between you and school. You were safer that way. Eventually, you felt calm enough to stop rushing and listened to music the rest of the way home. Music made school bearable–the whole world fell silent and moved at the pace of your songs.
Around the corner from your house, you felt a sharp tug on the back of your bag–strong enough to knock you off your feet. You hit the ground and turned to see boys from your school, they were playing basketball with Sungchan...
"Stay the hell away from Sungchan, Fag!" One shouted.
The others shouted similar comments as you tried to stay low, not looking up at them. It was better not to look at them.
You tried to crawl away but felt a sharp pain in your side as a foot collided with your side, making you crumple to the ground. The air knocked out of you as you tried not to spit up on the sidewalk.
"You think you can leave!? Gonna cry to Sungchan? Wait, what if he's turned Sungchan gay!?"
Your skin ran cold. You knew people who hated you for you, but you hated it when people hated others for who you were.
"He's not gay, he was just helping me," You groaned.
"Defending your boyfriend now? Sungchan must be gay like you–he'll even try to fuck us!" Another blow to your stomach as the boys started to crowd around you, dragging you into an alley. You were so close to home, to safety. But you could see your street getting smaller as they pulled you away, without the strength to fight back.
"W-What do we do now?" The boys chatted with each other about what to do with you now that they had you. You'd been tied up tightly with shoelaces and leaned against a wall while they huddled in a circle. "Well... We could–" The boys got quieter as they listened to the idea. Then their attention turned to you. Fear climbed up like a spider as two boys tried pulling off your pants.
"What the fuck!? Don't touch me!" You kicked at them but others joined in to restrain you.
Tears streamed down your face in fear and embarrassment as your pants were cast aside, leaving you in your underwear. The boys hesitated as they looked around, down the alley, and back at you. Your eyes were full of hate as you waited for their next move. One turned on their camera and started filming as two others slid down their pants. "Just open your mouth, gay boy. You've gone through this before, haven't you? If you want to be a girl so bad, then we'll make you one."
You squirmed and cried, your eyes closed. You were helpless as these guys were about to have their way with you, recording every second. You couldn't do anything but cry as your heart pleaded for someone. Anyone. Help!
"Hey! What the fuck are you doing to him!?"
Your eyes shot open to see Sungchan running down the alley at full speed. He jumped and kicked the closest guy, knocking him on the ground, and started punching his way to you. It wasn't long before they gave up and ran away, leaving you behind.
Sungchan chased the group a bit before turning back to you. He threw his jacket over your legs. "Are you okay? You hurt?"
You nod. "I'm fine," Your voice was weak and shaky.
Sungchan untied you and helped you to your feet. You couldn't help but feel mortified as you were half-naked in front of him, but you were grateful he saved you when he did.
"Thank you," You said softly. You couldn't bring yourself to look at him, it was too embarrassing, but you could feel his eyes scanning you.
"Is your house nearby? Or should we go to my house, it's close. I can run and get you pants."
You shook your head, "My house is around the corner."
Sungchan started unbuttoning his pants, making you panic and turn around. "What are you doing!?" You shouted.
"You can't walk around without pants."
"W-What about you!?"
"You can give them back when we get to your place."
You felt Sungchan's pants fall onto your shoulder, still warm from their owner. You went to uncover yourself but stopped. "Can you look away please?"
"Right!" Sungchan turned around as he waited for you to change.
Once you slipped on his pants, which were much larger than you expected and sagged around your waist, you hit his arm. "Let's go, you perv."
"How am I a perv!?"
You didn't respond as you led him to your house, cautious of any neighbors who may be watching. Thankfully your parents were out of town, so no one could've been home to see you bringing in a handsome half-naked man with you. Inside, you took Sungchan to your bedroom and let him sit on your bed as you changed into other clothes. You also gave him his pants back.
"Thank you again, for saving me," You say as you sit on the bed.
"It's not a problem. You needed help and my body just moved." Sungchan made a gesture like he was being pulled forward.
"You're not my neighbor, or even in my neighborhood, so how did I get so lucky to have you save me?"
Sungchan's face turned pinkish. "Well, we have the project and we needed to finish it. I asked if anyone knew where you lived and the teacher gave it to me," Sungchan played with his shirt while explaining.
"That's very illegal for the teacher to do. But since it saved me, I'll skip on suing. And you could've just called me!"
"I-I don't know! I just wanted to see you again and I felt like you would've told me where you lived if I'd asked."
Your heart skipped. Sungchan wanted to see you.
"And I'll make sure those guys never bother you again," Sungchan's expression darkened at the thought of the boys who'd jumped you. "I just don't understand why they'd do it."
You laughed wryly, "They thought I turned you gay and that you were my boyfriend. Saying we're both gay and that we'd turn all the other boys gay..."
"Why would they–"
"It doesn't matter. You don't see me like that, so I don't have a chance." You cut him off sharply, the pain in your chest was too much. Having to say out loud that you had no chance with Sungchan made your heart crumble.
"And if you did have a chance?" Sungchan scooted closer to you.
"What?"
"If you had a chance to ask me out. Would you?"
You blushed. "I-I don't know. Maybe!"
Sungchan leaned closer toward you. "Would I have a chance if I asked you out?"
Your heart raced, your palms sweaty, and your eyes could only see Sungchan's sweet face. "Um, maybe?"
"I'll try something, and if either of us don't like it then we can stop," Sungchan suggested, looking in your eyes for confirmation. You nodded slowly, allowing Sungchan to initiate a kiss. First a peck, then moving into a full-blown kiss. His hand found your waist as he pulled you closer to him, making you yelp which he used as an opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth. Your hands gripped his shoulders as his tongue explored you, meeting your tongue, and earning excited twitches from you. When you separated, a single strand of spit connected you before it broke. "How do you feel?" Sungchan asked.
You nodded. "I liked it, a lot."
"Then, can we kiss more often? As boyfriends?"
You jumped to your feet on instinct. "But you're straight!"
He shrugged, "Bisexual if you need an argument."
"So you mean?"
Sungchan laughed. "I've been into you since we were kids. I never knew it was something more than feeling strongly about a friend. When we hit middle school, I realized I had a crush on you but you started distancing yourself from me. And by the time we hit high school, you treated me almost like a stranger... I thought I'd done something wrong."
"I was only avoiding you because I knew I was gay and had a crush on you!"
Sungchan kissed your lips. "Then we both learned something." You giggled as Sungchan attacked you with kisses, tackling you into the bed as he cuddled you. "I think I've been in love with you for a while, and being this close to you is making my body crazy..."
You tensed. "You mean like..." Sungchan nodded, his breathing heavy as his eyes focused on your lips. "We should take things a little slower, right?" You pushed Sungchan off you, as he whined.
"Of course, whatever you want, babe."
"B-Babe?!"
Sungchan smiled. "I need to call you a nickname now. I'll keep trying more until we find something you get attached to." You rolled your eyes, embarrassed. Sungchan picked up his backpack and pulled out his textbook. "Let's knock this report out, then we can cuddle."
The next day after Sungchan had gone home, your phone blew up with texts. He was constantly checking in with you, making sure you were alright. He even sent a text of the group of boys, kneeling in the principal's office as a punishment while they got yelled at.
Everything seemed brighter and better with Sungchan. And he loved to show you off, holding your hands in the halls to tell everyone about the unexpected change. No one dared to speak out against Sungchan, so you spent more time at school learning rather than running...

"Oh, look! Y/N's here," Yeonjun grinned, waving at someone at the door.
Tonight was Yeonjun's graduation party. He wasn't graduating for another month, but he wanted a head start on the celebrations over the other graduates. He invited many people from university, including you, one of his closest friends besides his housemates.
Huening Kai briefly glanced in the direction Yeonjun was waving at and caught a glimpse of you waving back, your friends, Ryujin and Yuna, closely behind you. You had a little black dress on, a pair of Doc Marten's donning your feet.
"She literally just walked in the room," Soobin snickered, seeing a senior approach you. He probably asked to hook up or something gross by your middle finger response to whatever the stranger had said.
"I can't believe you're only friends," Beomgyu shook his head, lowkey teasing Yeonjun. "I would've thought something was going on between you two."
"Because she rejected me, duh," Yeonjun sighed, putting a hand over his chest, feigning hurt. "At least people willingly hang out with me, unlike you, who has to beg, Choi Beomgyu."
Before Beomgyu could respond with another potentially insulting comment, you appear beside Yeonjun, hugging him.
"Nice party," you commended but shuddered after, recalling the interaction a few minutes ago. "Not really feeling the people you invited, though."
"Y/N, meet my best friends, Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, and Huening Kai," Yeonjun introduced, pointing at each of them individually.
"I know, Yeonjun," you chuckled. "I'm here at least once a week, remember? I see them all the time."
Your eyes scan the guys waving and smiling, waving back, and your eyes land on Huening Kai, who's staring at you. "Oh, except you. Hello."
"Hi," he managed to say in a small voice, his body tempted to hide behind Soobin, who stood beside him. He hoped you didn't notice him staring.
He had heard about you from the other guys before. He's seen your silhouette in the hallways a couple of times too. There were conversations about who you rejected this week, but he only realized tonight why it was such a topic when he saw you up close in person. No wonder people kept trying to hit on you.
"Yeah, probably because he's always hiding in his room," Yeonjun teased the younger boy, swinging an arm around your shoulder. He glances across the room and beams when he sees the empty table. "Hey, let's go play beer pong!"
After a couple of 3v3 rounds of beer pong, you, Yeonjun, and Soobin in one team, the other three in another, the group disperses into the crowd.
Huening Kai walked into the kitchen to get another drink, not expecting to see you standing there doing the same. He contemplated for a minute if he should turn around and come back later or pretend he didn't notice you. It wasn't like he was trying to be rude, but you had a reputation for being a man-hater, as Beomgyu once put it.
Before he could go with plan A and turn around to leave, he heard your sweet voice call out his name.
"Are you here to get a drink, too?" you asked, holding your cup up. "What do you reckon? Rum and coke or vodka and lemonade?"
You hum a random tune as you fill your drink with the latter, not really bothered by Kai's lack of response.
Huening Kai continued to stand at the kitchen entrance, music booming loudly from behind him, but all he could focus on was your face as you hummed and made your drink. He knew he had to say something soon, or you'd think he was a weirdo, but his mind went blank.
"I really like your shirt, by the way," you told him after taking a sip from your cup. Kai looked down at his Californication shirt.
"You like the Red Hot Chili Peppers?" he finally managed to say after a brief pause. Snapping out of his mini trance, he finally walks to the counter where you stood, making himself the same drink as yours.
"Would it be considered like if I have all of their albums in vinyl?" you asked, leaning on the counter. "They're my all-time favorite band."
"Me too," Kai admitted, meeting your gaze. "I began learning the guitar because of John Frusciante."
"Oh yeah, I heard from Yeonjun you play the guitar! He said you have a nice voice, too," you watched Kai's pale complexion go from a light pink shade to dark red after your compliment.
"N-No, not really," he stutters, looking around the room. He wanted to slap himself at how pathetic he acted in front of you. You giggle at his reaction, amused at how shy Huening Kai is.
"I'll be the judge of that," you grin, nudging his elbow with yours. "I'm guessing Californication is your favorite album?"
"Yeah, Taehyun's sick of hearing all the songs in the album in a loop," Kai admitted. "Since we share a room and all."
"Californication is good, no doubt," you acknowledge, and Kai's face lights up only for it to drop when you say, "But Stadium Arcadium is superior."
"Excuse me?!" Kai gasped. "Did you not listen to Scar Tissue? Otherside? Around the world?"
You laugh at his reaction, not expecting him to react the way he did. You think it's cute and decide to rile him up a bit more.
"To be honest, Californication is my least favorite album," you shake your head. You see Huening Kai's face crumble in disbelief. "I always skip Scar Tissue when it comes up on my Spotify and-"
Huening Kai stands there staring at you. He looks at you like you've just kicked his puppy, his bottom lip jutting out like a little boy who lost his parents at the mall.
"Kai, I'm kidding," you finally tell him, grabbing his arm as you burst out laughing. His face turns red again, unsure if it was from your touch or that you were making fun of him.
"That's rude," he mumbles, removing your hand from his arm and turning away. "You can just joke with people like that."
You stop laughing when you realize you hurt his feelings. "Kai, I'm sorry, I-"
"I'm kidding," Kai said, turning around with a smirk, copying your words.
"I deserved that," you lightly slapped his arm at his joke. "Say, I have a framed Blood Sugar Sex Magik Platinum LP back home. Do you wanna check it out?"
"Is it signed?!" he asked excitedly, his whole face lighting up like a child seeing presents under the Christmas tree on Christmas morning.
"It is."
You were both excited and nervous. You've never really met anyone in college as into the Red Hot Chili Peppers as you were, nor have you ever initiated inviting any boy over first. Plus points because you enjoyed talking to Huening Kai. He was different from a lot of the guys on campus.
Your house was just five blocks away from Yeonjun's. After bidding Yeonjun goodbye without telling him where you were headed, you and Kai make your way back to your humble abode, your stroll filled with sharing thoughts about your favorite band and other interests.
"I don't think you mentioned your favorite song," Huening Kai said in the middle of your conversation, recalling if you've ever bought it up.
"I didn't," you confirm. You twiddle with your fingers, wondering if you should reveal your favorite song or choose another one that wouldn't be embarrassing to say.
"Well?" he chuckled at your sudden silence. He was starting to warm up to you; it felt nice to spend time with you.
"My favorite song is Tell Me Baby," you finally reveal after a brief pause, your face turning pink. The song was a bit too romantic, and you were worried he was expecting you to say a cooler song.
"That's cute," he says instead. "It suits you."
The two of you continue your conversation all the way. He eventually shares his hobbies, sisters, and other interests, and you do the same.
"Welcome to my house," you sang, swinging the door open after unlocking it. "Make yourself at home! No one's home because the others are still at your place."
Huening Kai takes his shoes off and walks in, looking at the photos you and your friends had put up. "You live with Yuna and Ryujin?"
"Oh, you know them?" you asked in curiosity, walking over to your fridge and taking a tray of ice.
"Yeah," he responds, unsure if he should tell you about Taehyun's massive crush on Yuna. He watches as you mix a bottle of Smirnoff with Sprite and hand him the glass.
"Nothing beats having a couple of drinks while listening to some quality music," you wink and hold your glass up. "Cheers!"
Huening Kai's eyes flutter open, and he sees little led stars twinkling on the ceiling.
His head was pounding, and his stomach was doing little somersaults. His face scrunches up in confusion, wondering when Taehyun installed it. Realization dawns on him when he snuggles into the pillow and feels silk instead of his usual cotton covers.
He quickly sits up, looking around the room, noticing the neat room, a poster, and some vinyl of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the wall. He looks to his left and sees your bare back, you sleeping soundly beside him.
Kai couldn't believe what he was seeing. He quickly looked under the blanket to see he had nothing on. He squeezed his eyes shut, trying to remember the events from earlier. All he remembered was the both of you having drinks and listening to your vinyl collection.
In a panic, Kai tried to get out of bed as quietly as possible, hoping to sneak out of your apartment before you woke up. His eyes were stinging a little, a bit embarrassed that he didn't remember anything, but also scared of what would happen since something had happened between you.
As he put on his pants, he accidentally knocked over one of your picture frames, the sound of the fall startling you awake.
"Kai, what are you doing?" you asked groggily, rubbing your eyes.
Huening Kai froze, not knowing what to say. He was scared that you would regret what had happened between you, and he didn't want to face you.
"I-I have to go," he stammered, standing up and backing away from the bed.
You sat up, pulling the blanket up to cover your front, looking at him with confusion and concern. "What's wrong? Why are you leaving?"
Kai hesitated, unsure of what to say. "I-I don't want you to regret what happened last night. I don't want things to be weird. Besides, I don't remember what happened last night."
You looked at him with a mixture of amusement and frustration. He might not remember, but you remembered him pulling you into a kiss halfway through Wet Sand. Worried about his current headspace, you quickly try to assure him.
"Kai, we're both adults. We got drunk and ended up in bed together. It happens. But that doesn't mean we have to regret it or make things weird. Unless you regret being with me?" you asked.
"No, of course not!" Kai responds in a raised voice, shaking his head. He mentally facepalmed about saying that a bit too quickly. "I'm sorry. I just panicked."
You smiled at him, reaching out to take his hand. "It's okay, Kai. We didn't do anything I regret. How about let's go to bed and talk about it in the morning?"
Kai felt relief wash over him as he squeezed your hand back. "Yeah, okay."
You hummed to yourself as you poured the pancake mix into the pan, enjoying your morning. You hear the shower turn off and smile, knowing that Kai will be out of the shower soon to join you.
It's been quite a while since you woke up with someone else in your bed, and it didn't hurt that Huening Kai was such a good cuddler after he got passed being shy around you.
As you flip the pancake, Ryujin walks into the kitchen. She eyes the two plates on the counter and observes your cheery mood.
Ryujin walks behind you and pokes your side with a sly smile.
"Did my dear Y/N get some last night?" she smirked, wiggling her eyebrows. You jerk away at her poke and swat her hand away. "You're even making him breakfast and everything!"
"Good morning to you too," you rolled your eyes at her teasing.
"Who's the lucky guy?" she interrogated, crossing her arms and leaning on the counter.
"None of your business~" you sang. But you knew Ryujin wouldn't let it go by the way she was intensely staring at you.
"Huening Kai," you casually respond, eyeing the pancake on the pan.
Ryujin had more than a handful of names in her mind, and for you to mention a name she never expected left her speechless for a second.
"Huening Kai? As in the Huening Kai who lives with Yeonjun and never leaves his room?" she confirmed.
"Yes, that Huening Kai."
"I don't know, Y/N. You're kinda out of his league," Ryujin sighed, shaking her head. "He's just not… Exciting enough for you? Besides, why him? It could've been Yeonjun! Or better yet, Soobin."
"Exciting enough? What does that even mean?" you tried to ask as calmly as possible. It wasn't like Ryujin to say things like that, especially since she barely knew Kai.
"That's kinda rude, Shin Ryujin. You know I don't just get with anyone. Plus, I like Kai for who he is. That's obviously why we hung out."
"Sorry, Y/N, I was just caught off guard," she apologizes, her shoulders slumping after realizing her mistake. "You haven't been with anyone since your first year in college, and you're right. You don't get with just anyone, so I know you know what you're doing."
"He's nice," you assured your friend. "You'll like him."
Ryujin left the kitchen shortly after. Breakfast was a bit tense, Kai didn't really say anything, and you thought he was just hungover or hiding back into his shell.
After breakfast, Kai announced he was heading home and declined your hangout offer. It upset you after you thought you had chemistry after the night before.
The truth was, neither you nor Ryujin noticed Kai coming out of the shower in the middle of your conversation, so he heard everything Ryujin said. He was touched by what you said but wasn't surprised by your friend's reaction. He knew that's what people would say about you and him.
Kai walked through the front door of his shared house, not realizing his friends were huddled in the living room. Four eyes looked up, surprised to see the youngest walk in wearing the same clothes from last night's party.
"Hey man, where have you been?" Yeonjun asked, smirking.
"You're wearing the clothes as last night and kinda smell like female body wash," Beomgyu pointed out. The room erupted in laughter as his friends teased him. "Ooh, Kai slept over at a girl's place!"
"Who were you with?" Soobin asked curiously. Kai could feel the intense gaze of his friends, and he knew he wouldn't hear the end of it if he didn't tell them.
"I- I was out with Y/N," Kai could feel his face flushing as he stuttered out his response.
Beomgyu was hysterically laughing, saying something about Kai being able to get you while Yeonjun couldn't.
"Maybe he hypnotized or put a spell on her," Yeonjun jokingly accused.
"You better lock her down before she figures out you're a loser and runs away," Beomgyu joked.
Taehyun elbowed Beomgyu, giving him a warning look, knowing what he said had gone a bit too far. Kai laughed nervously, but he couldn't shake off the words of his friends.
As the days passed, he found himself avoiding you on campus, worried that you would realize everything your friend said was right.
Although you didn't think much of it, there was a day you tried to approach him on campus, but the moment he saw you, he did a 180 and walked in the other direction. After observing him doing it a couple of times, you decided to confront Yeonjun about it.
"Hey, is everything okay with Kai? He's been avoiding me."
"I don't know, maybe he's just busy with schoolwork," he shrugged, but he knew you weren't buying it. He watched as you changed the topic and talked about something else.
Despite previously being interested in you, Yeonjun thought you and Huening Kai made a cute couple.
After Beomgyu's teasing after the incident, Yeonjun couldn't ignore the younger boy's demeanor and sat Kai down, asking about what had happened between the two of you. Huening Kai wasn't one to keep his problems to himself, so he opened up to Yeonjun, telling the older boy about your conversation with Ryujin and that he wanted you to have some time to think about how being with him would affect your social standing.
He understood Kai's worries and knew he was still trying to figure out some things, but that didn't mean you should be ignored.
"Y/N," Yeonjun interrupted you mid-sentence while you were talking about this new burger place. "If you're worried about him, just talk to him. He's probably just overthinking things."
With encouragement from Yeonjun, you decided to confront Kai.
After learning his whereabouts, you find him sitting alone in the library.
"Hey, is everything okay? You've been avoiding me," you say in a low voice, sitting next to him with crossing your arms. Kai looked up, surprised to see you.
"I-" he stammered, trying to think of an excuse. "N-No. I've just been busy with school."
"Kai, is something wrong? Did I do something to upset you?" you asked, not buying his excuse. "You know you can talk to me."
"I just don't think we're compatible," he suddenly said, looking down at his open book, avoiding your gaze. He hesitated to say anything, but the concern in your eyes made him blurt his thoughts. "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed with someone like me."
"Is that your opinion or someone else's?" you challenged. He didn't respond to your question.
"Kai," you sighed, taking his hand like that night. "I like you for who you are. You don't have to change to impress me. Have I ever made you feel like you need to change?"
He shook his head in response but still kept his head low.
"I like you," you confessed. Although you only spent a short amount of time together, you felt comfortable with him, and you rarely had a connection like that. "And we might not have the same friends or personalities, but I don't think it's an excuse for us not to try this out?"
Relief washes over him. It was like you had the magic to assure him about anything.
He looks into your eyes, slowly leaning in to see if you would pull back. Your eyes fluttering close gave him the signal, and he kissed you, you happily returning his kiss.
You smile at him as you pull away.
"See? Nothing to worry about. You're perfect just the way you are."

DSMP Fanfic Rec List because I’m bored Part 2
(IF YOU READ ANY OF THESE, DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT - even a simple "great work" or "this was a lot of fun" suffices, just  comment)
Happy Duo & Egg Lore (the fluffy and the saddy)
OrphanDuo + Skephalo AU by cawthelesbian 
Techno discovers the Skeppy cage and remembers Skeppy's claustrophobia, which leads him unable to keep his anger and disgust in check.
-
This series is what made me love these three dummies. Seriously, there's so much unexplored potential here.
I love how close Techno and Skeppy are, how much Techno cares for Skeppy despite how different they are, and that Skeppy is considered one of the few that have always been loyal to Techno. It's just sweet, ya know?
Adding Bad to this mix just makes it all that much better. Techno and Bad aren't very popular together, but I personally love imagining their possible interactions and how they view each other.
I loved getting Techno's pov on the Skephalo relationship as well - how Techno trusts Bad to take care of Skeppy because he's seen and been proven that they are that important to each other.
I can only wish this series gets continued at some point, or someone else picks up on the idea because I'd kill to see more of this concept.
___
What's a Skeppy? by 42starsintheuniverse
When he has the capacity to, Bad uses higher order thinking. In those times, he is well aware that the Skeppy is as much of an individual as he is. That it presumably managed for a long time before him, that it was good at surviving, and he’d come to learn, excellent at fighting and defending itself. The Skeppy is very capable. But Bad is nothing if not flawed, and one of his flaws is that he is very eager, and very happy when he finds things to collect. So he’d sort of... Unintentionally taken the Skeppy. It wasn’t a plan, exactly. He’d carried it home that first day and assumed it wanted to stay with him.
-
"For a long time, Bad thought all he would ever be was a Bad. But when a Bad finds a Skeppy, suddenly a Bad becomes... A happy." If this quote doesn't make you want to read the fic, I'm not sure you're okay, I'm sorry.
This fic is literally the cutest thing, istg. I dare you to try and find me something that's more wholesome.
Bad and Skeppy are both not-quite sentient creatures - Bad is a Nether demon, Skeppy is a diamond golem - who find each other by chance and just, connect and stick together and do shenanigans.
The genius of this fic for me is the "not-quite sentient" part. They're not people, they're creatures, and it shows. They remind me a lot of the dragons from HTTYD, as in they possess a higher order of thinking than a dog or a cat, while still being somewhere lower than a human. Does that make sense?
They can't communicate with each other the traditional way - aka, through speech - and so have to find ways to get around that, which is a trope I love.
Also also, this author is amaaaaaazing at writing Happy Duo, I very very much recommend checking out any of their other works - Flickering Flame and Your voice: The Sound of your Laughter are two of my faves, but really, all of them are more than worth a read.
___
My sunshine by Redbug
There's something wrong with the world around Bad, and reality isn't making any sense. No one is, and it's starting to eat away at his mind.
-
This series is pure pain and yearning. I'm not even trying to be funny, it simply is. Maybe it's because Bad and his "predicament" reminded me too much of a family member of mine, but this fic really just hit me like a truck out of nowhere.
I don't want to spoil much, but i love what the author did with Bad's backstory. Who he is, his connections with XD, how he got to have the life he does in the present. He's so tragic, it's painful to read all that suffering (but in a good way, because it's also beautiful??)
The way Rain cloud ended threw me for a loop a bit, but I think that might've been the point - it also made me cry actual tears, sooooo, there's that :p
But yeah, go read this right now if you feel like BBH-centric angst with lots of worried Skeppy, some functional Karlnapity, and a kind of confusing but still very envolving plot.
___
dripping with red gardenia by kirichin
A sardonic smile tugs his lips up as he watches the petals curl up, catch fire, and turn into ashes. He was sure there is a metaphor there somewhere, between his love and the pathetic flowers turning into ashes.
-
or Skeppy gets blessed with Hanahaki.
-
Happy Duo writers really do love their angst. And Hanahaki too, apparently.
Techno is MVP. He and Skeppy continue to warm my heart with their brotherly bond. Skeppy and Bad deserve all the hugs.
It's been a while since I last read this one, so I don't remember the plot too well, but I do remember I stayed up 'til 4am to finish it and I hate going to bed late, so I hope this speaks for itself on how engaging the fic is. Go read.
so this is love by Isi_Khan_3000
You’ve always been a clingy person – always had a hard time letting things go.
It’s not really all that surprising that that was your downfall.
OR, the Skeppy POV we all want and need (featuring some extra commentary from somewhen else.)
-
(Yes, I'm self-advocating, leave me alone.)
This was written immediately after the Egg Lore finale. It's basically my personal take on what Skeppy was up to while Bad was busy building himself a cult. It spans from his death by lava bath to him killing Bad after the Banquet.
It's sad, angsty, and full of my fave headcanons for their DSMP characters (which means lots of happy duo family). It is also my first try at writing 2nd person, so yeahhhhh, please give it a read, and feel free to yell at me in the comments.
Anyway, go check it out if it sounds interesting, please and thank you.

☂️🍑 Y2K Peach, My Beloved 🍑☂️
jksdjksdwk Istg I need to draw other Mario girls, but I always end up drawing Peach in the end I’m just currently too obsessed with her, plz help me 🥲
Drew this as both a (belated) 18th anniversary to Super Princess Peach (damn, I can’t believe this game is the same age as me 💀), and as a (also belated) birthday gift for one of my buddies from DeviantArt, @therosypinkprincess .
We both really like Peach, so I felt like drawing her a sweet little present. I suggest you check out her art if you have the time, it’s absolutely beautiful and so pretty 💖💕
I wanted to start this before October 20th rolled around, which was the day Super Princess Peach first dropped in Japan (and coincidentally the same day Super Mario Wonder also dropped), but I was starting to get a little burned out after trying to complete a bunch of Spooktober and Blacktober art, so I had to put it on hold. Fast forward to a couple of days ago, I finally had the motivation to continue the art, with a few changes.
I love Super Princess Peach. It’s one of my favorite Nintendo DS games, and I love that Nintendo finally realized that it was time to give Peachy some justice by letting her go on a solo adventure. This time she got to save the day all by herself, and also rescued her mans this time.
Games like this, the Smash Bros. series, Mario + Rabbids, SMB2, and others prove that Peach is more than just a pretty-faced damsel, and is far from a “dumb blonde”, or an, “airhead”. She doesn’t always get kidnapped and is clearly capable of defending and taking care of herself and uses her hyper-feminity to kick ass.
It’s perfectly a-okay if you prefer other Mario ladies over her, but it bugs me so much that she’s so often just categorized as only a damsel because she’s girly, kind, empathetic, and soft-spoken.
Also greatly annoys me how often in stuff like fanart, fanfiction, and animations, she’s always made a punching bag, demonized, or made weaker to make the other ladies look better in comparison. All of that is just no 😃
And regarding Super Princess Peach, I never understood the whole, “sexist” accusations that people were calling the game all because Peach had different emotions in the game. She ain’t the only one who uses her emotions, the rest of the cast has different emotions too, but unlike them, Peach can actually control hers. So, all in all, I just personally find the whole, “sexist” claim kinda goofy ngl
Honestly speaking, I only have one gripe with this game. I wished that they did a little more with my boy Perry’s backstory, because it sadly didn’t go anywhere, and it hints that his kidnapper might be at large. Other than that, the game is still pretty solid, and it definitely holds up. Especially the music, it’s got a couple of bangers.
As you’ve guessed by the title, I wanted to go for a more Y2K feel not just aesthetic-wise, but also fashion-wise. I went on Google, and searched for a bunch of outfits from 2005, the year SPP came out. I went with this outfit I found on Google, and since it had pink in it, I definitely knew that it would be perfect for Peach. There’s also this 2005 Fashion Fever Barbie that also inspired this outfit.
And speaking of which, at the time of sketching the art, I was also watching some Y2K stuff that I grew up with to get me in the mood, and that included some CGI Barbie movies (because Barbie is such a movie icon ✨) such as The Barbie Diaries and Fairytopia. There’s also other stuff I watched like Winx Club, Totally Spies, and the Bratz TV Show.
I wanted to put her hair in pigtails, along with giving her peach fruit earrings because, well… that’s literally what she’s named after. Also included a little easter egg reference to her final smash in the Smash Bros. series if you can figure out where it is 👀
I really loved how this art turned out, though I wanted to give Peach the whole, “down-to-earth, wholesome, sweet girl-next-door” type vibes with her new outfit, with a hint of some girly pop. Kinda similar to characters like Lizzie McGuire, Betty Cooper, and Disney ladies such as Snow White and Giselle. I think I succeeded with it, both her and Perry look kawaii af ❤️
And for those of you who can't read Japanese, the text on the left side just reads, "Peach and Perry-chan!". I just put it into Google Translate, and thought that it would go well with the art.

Tbh I'm mostly convinced that Adrien feeling doesn't matter for the writers or mostly the character in universe because ISTG WHY NO ONE TELL HIM ANYTHING???
Felix is the most random thing that ever introduced in the series, because he's exist solely for plot convenience. He has things that Adrien actually could have but writer forbid it because he'd be too broken and probably overshadow Marinette or other characters.
WHY KAGAMI TELL FELIX LADYBUG IDENTITY?????? If she tell him because "oh yeah he's my bf now and he deserves to know" then she deserve to be snapped hard on the forehead. As of right now I want to believe it's because Felix programed her to tell him everything she know when he ask for her ring back then.
No seriously WTF IS HAPPENED IN THIS EPISODE I CANT EVEN
I swear s5 is a flip flop season because INCONSISTENCY IS GONE TO THE ABYSS
Yeah people not telling Adrien things for very little reason is unfortunately a series mainstay, whether intentional or not. That's been going on pretty consistently since season 2, when Marinette got brought into the fold on being the Guardian and other Miraculous, and Adrien was left out of the loop. And then there was everything that happened in season 4 with the Ladynoir conflict. Looks like it's continuing with season 5, though I really hope someone thinks to tell him he's a senti. I mean, there ARE arguments that could be made about why they don't want to tell him just yet - like being afraid that Gabriel might command Adrien in such a way that he ends up spilling the beans about knowing he's a senti, and thus endangering himself even more - and that they'd tell him once they got Adrien's amoks back from Gabriel and that was no longer a worry.
I'd want that to actually be stated out loud as reasoning by the characters though, otherwise it just comes off as "not telling Adrien in order to prevent him from having his own opinion and making his own decisions on what to do with the information", which has been stated in the past as reasoning for not telling Adrien (well, Chat at the time) about things that undeniably concern himself, back when Ladybug decided to trick Chat into revealing his secret identity to a third party in order to prevent the possibility of Chat refusing to do so if she just asked him to outright.
As for Felix... okay yeah he does seem to get some OP plot conveniences (especially with that special glass that let him see hidden items, where did he get that?) and I'd love for Adrien to be given more of the ability to affect things, but dammit I do enjoy watching a lot of Felix's shenanigans.
Kagami telling Felix Ladybug's identity... yeah I don't think she should have done that. That wasn't her secret to tell, and it's a very dangerous secret on top of that. When Alya told Nino about her still helping Ladybug, that was HER secret to tell, primarily, it mostly concerned her and she was the one most in danger if it got out, plus it'd already caused a schism between her and Nino before this, so she had reason for it. When Nino revealed his and Alya's secret identities to Adrien and later to Marinette... well he still shouldn't have done that, Alya's identity wasn't his secret to tell, but he was right about it being a very low-value secret at that point, since Monarch already knew their identities, and Adrien and Marinette being trustworthy.
I don't think Felix commanded her to do that though, it just doesn't fit with the image of Feligami that the show is selling. I think it's more just a matter of Kagami being an emotionally vulnerable teenager who has someone who's there JUST for her, for the first time in her life, someone who's very devoted to her immediately, and who's willing to act on it - she's jumping into that relationship headfirst without a safety net, in order to meet her emotional needs. And thus, since she sympathizes with Felix so heavily, she tells him any information that she thinks will help fulfill the goal of freeing her and Adrien from their parents.
Do I think this was the right choice? No. It would have been better if, after Felix tells her everything he knows, she then privately went to Marinette, revealed that she knows she's Ladybug, and tried to recruit her help, maybe even trying to get her to reveal her identity to Felix (though I don't think this would have been necessary).
Do I think it makes sense for a girl in Kagami's position though? Yes. Especially with how much she and Felix are in the honeymoon phase of a relationship.

End of Year Collage - Best of 2022
Rules: Find your fave pics of your story or your blog in general and post them up in a collage! :D it can be 1 picture or 100 whatever you want. But just reflect on your fave moments in your story or on your blog. It can be cute moments or pictures you’re just really proud of.
I did this last year and decided to make one for 2022, to celebrate simming, the one source of joy I got out of another crapfest of a year.
I did even less simming this year than I’ve ever done, so some months once again have no entries, which depresses me. I doubt 2023 will be any better, but here’s hoping! 🤞🤞
MY THOUGHTS (for each month) under the cut:
January: New Years Miniset
I did diddly squat in January, just uploaded my New Years miniset that I had made for Magnus Bane’s birthday the December before.
February #1: Lunar New Year | February #2: Black Girl Magic Collection
Still no gameplay this month, but I got a lot done as far as CC, uploading my regularly scheduled holiday sets for Lunar New Year and Black History Month. Shortest month of the frikkin year, but I’m always swamped in February.
March #1: BLEACH \(^0^)/ | March #2: Let them eat cake!
I went nuts in March, trying to rush to get as much Bleach inspired gameplay done as possible before my schoolwork and birthday plans for April all caught up with me. Didn’t get nearly as much done as I wanted, but I had fun, regardless. Ironically enough however, y’all were more interested in one silly post I made where my Sakura & Ryuu sims assassinated Marie Antoinette! XD
April: Modern Male Witch Project Part 5
My latest installment recreating Brenna-Ivy’s Modern Mages went off without a hitch. Made an EFFTON of CC for y’all on my birthday, and had a blast!
May: Didn’t do any simming in May, as I needed to recover from blitzing the last 3 months.
June #1: The Untamed cont’d | June #2: Pride Month: Asian LGBT+
I took advantage of my Summer Break from school to continue my The Untamed gameplay. Some of my favorite posts ever, right there. Plus, it was Pride Month, so I was able to double-time it with Hanguang-Jun(e) Month and an cool Asian-themed LGBT series of weekly posts from some of my fave fandom ships: Nagron, Malec, WangXian, Andynh, and Adoribull.
July: Mighty Nein
I did more of the Modern Male Project, but definitely the best gameplay of the month (and arguably my whole YEAR) came from my Critical Role inspired posts. Y’all were going bananas; I loved seeing how many D&D fans were out there! I’m definitely doing more this year, it was way too much fun.
August: TW3 Skellige
My witcher!household went a-viking in Ard Skellig, as I tested out a bunch of new CC I was uploading that month. 
September: Nada. I was in the TRENCHES at school; I got hit with one massive project after another, ISTG it was like the department wanted to see if I would effing crack under pressure. STILL HERE, WENCHES. I hate grad school.
October: The Untamed cont’d
Halloween was the perfect time to deal with Wen Ning, so I HAD to squeeze in some more Untamed gameplay for the holidays. 
November: Wei Wuxian’s Halloween/Birthday
I was late posting in time for WWX’s bday on Halloween, but was just glad I managed to make a post I’d been dying to do for a LONG while, showing Wei WuXian get reincarnated as Mo XuanYu.
December: Interview with the Vampire
Y’all. Y’all know? How effing HAPPY I am that AMC made this dang show? I love every bit of it; eff the book purists. This is how you do an adaptation RIGHT, by ELEVATING the source material and updating the content for modern audiences. BRAVO.
________________________________________________
Thank you everybody, followers, mutuals, lurkers, and all simmers who continue to support me and The Sims 3, and like my content!
Happy Simming, and Happy New Year!

live "tweet" books with me (via the goodreads progress bar) pt.2: Lore by Alexandra Bracken
idk who the narrator of the first part was, but I'm very confused...if he's not a god anymore is her love interest...or maybe her dad?
who is gil...how did he die?
her grandfather? wasn't gonna guess that
potential love interest spotted..hey masked dude
oooooo does she know him? intrigue
SEVEN YEARS HOLD SHIT THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD
potential love interest #2...van hello
I cannot stress enough how happy I am that her name isn't actually lore
wait nvm it is actually her name...that's stupid
Annabeth come get you mom, this is embarrassing
Percy come get your namesake ancestor...this is embarrassing
they are saying a lot of words that mean absolutely nothing to me?
happy to report that her name isn't actually lore...thank God...gods? whatever
"the Olympics but with murder" Nothing better happen to Miles bc I love him already
HAH poseidon and perseus reference
(I'm gonna spend this whole book talking about pjo just fyi)"
I get this feeling that apollo let Castor kill him
nooooo not the doggg
castor out here with the Olympians shittiest moments highlight reel to remind athena that he's cooler than her
oooo are miles and van gonna be a thing..that would be cute
athena deciding to keep miles around like he's a puppy is peak comedy
just because you're pointing out that the names are getting stupider doesn't mean you don't lose a point for continuing to name your characters stupid things
van and miles going on a secret special side quest together? mmmmhhmmm checks out
don't get me wrong I love a good enemy's to lovers but istg destiny if she gets with the guy who killed her family I will never forgive you
EW CREEPY PEDO GUY GET BACK CREEP
I am directly halfway done with this book, and there has yet to be one single ounce of romantic subplot...This is extremely disappointing"
WAIT IS GIL HERMES!!!
IS AEGIS THE NECKLACE
MILES HAS IT
I asked for romantic subplot but idk if this is what I wanted...however I'm a suckered for childhood best friends to lovers so we'll see"
"do that again when you mean it golden" period you tell her castor (I 1000% agree)
also him calling her golden is cute...even if I'm not sure why he does it"
hehe miles and van bonding time.. thats a romantic subplot I can get behind"
"oh so you're in love with him" YOU TELL HIM MILES
throwing away the necklace as if it's not extremely likely it's the thing you need...aces move lore, stop pouting and think
istg if you kill castor rn I'll never forgive you
IRO YOU MOTHERFUCKER IF YOU REALLY KILLED THAT BOY
 HES ALIVVVEEE
ATHENA YOU MOTHERFUCKER...I should've know better than to fucking trust you
MELORA I KNOW YOU DIDNT JUST DO THAT
SHE WASNT EVEN LINKED ATHENA WHEN I FIND YOU
it doesn't make sense that she's had aegis the whole time and wasn't even thinking about it enough to hide it from readers...im sorry thats just lame"
this book lacks interesting romantic subplot but " I was born knowing how to do three things: how to breathe how to dream and how to love you" is the smoothest shit ever"
him calling her golden? cute...her calling him big guy? really fucking weird
istg don't pin with a couple separated by mortality, I can't handle that rn
HEHE lore calling van out for staring longingly at miles
lore and miles bestie vibes only
I get the sickening feeling castor will not be making it out of this book alive
holy shit she killed athena"
holy shot did athena just redeem herself
apollo let castor kill him CALLED IT
YAY FOR STAYING MORTAL AND STAYING WITH OUR FRIENDS!!!
This book wasn't bad but after the literally masterpiece that is the darkest minds series I expected more from miss bracken...the only reason I was able to read this as fast as I did was bc I had to finish it to read iron flame LOL

#BADBUDDYREWATCH
Ep 7
Wait... so Pran says "It's hot" after getting a photo of Pat to which Pran's mum says he should "blow it first". I mean, I know I easily hear innuendos but I can't be the only one to notice this?!
Oh the happiness when Pran says he's messaging a 'friend'.
And then the heartache when Dissaya says Pran can date anyone but Pat or Pa.
Pran letting his Nanon show through at 6:07 in part 1 - with his head-twitch (you can see Nanon doing it in interviews and events etc).
Pa and Ink!! That's it. That's the comment.
I love the differences between Pat and Pa's sides of the room, and that Pa got the full bed whereas Pat is just on the mattress on the floor.
Remember what I was saying about the show manipulating us in ep 4 with Pat, Ink, and Pran? Well, they're doing it again with Pa, Ink, and Wai - having Jimmy do the voiceover for the note Pa receives with the peer mentee gift. I mean, it could never have been him because he's not in her faculty...but still, it made us question whether we were going to get InkPa.
SEE WHAT i MEAN BY THE SHOW USING THE PRODUCT PLACEMENTS TO DRIVE THE STORY?! BECAUSE WE GOT FERAL HOE PRAN EXPERTLY FLIRTING WITH THE "Can you?" AND PUPPY EYES IN THE PRINTER SCENE.
Don't we all agree that Pran basically confesses to Pat with the curry - he said he wanted to cook the dish for the person he liked and then offered a spoonful to Pat - he effectively did cook the curry for Pat it's just that Pat chose not to eat it. These boys 😄 smh
I love Pa's friends and want to see them in another show.
With the way Wai is recounting the synopsis for the Riam/Kwan play, you'd think he'd be a bit more sympathetic towards Pat and Pran.
Also, library scene my beloved (pfp ftw!). And Pran in a yellow shirt whilst thinking about his and Pat's flirting (they're so happy!), and then Pran in a blue shirt amongst a sea of red in the lecture hall. AND THE MINT GREEN BOOK DIVIDERS. God the design.
Oh Oh and the LIGHTING! I forgot how this show had used light and shadow throughout this ep to emphasise how Pran is "still closed off, not yet ready to be open and honest with Pat, needing the bet still as a premise to ‘date’ Pat...whereas Pat is ready and has always been ready...and it’s only right at the end, when Pran has decided he’s also ready to leave the bet behind and get on the same page as Pat, that he becomes fully illuminated."
Really, show me another series that is doing product placement like Bad Buddy. THE BOTTLE 'SPONGE BATH'! Please!
Wai teasing Pran with the 'ja' particle when kissing his neck/cheek... I guess making Pat doubly jealous...
"Your Man?" !!
Pran looks so smug but Pat's about to wipe that off his face.
Disgruntled dimples!
And I can't watch the noodle scene without thinking of this post.
But also knowing that Pat has pretty much confessed to Pran through his audition monologue kind of makes this scene hit different. Yes, they're having a flirting competition, doing things with Ink and Wai that they want to be doing with each other, but poor Pat has already said he wants to end the bet but Pran is continuing as normal.
Micellair my beloved. Pat says he doesn't always come to play but that is what he actually does. He tried to lighten Pran's mood by playing. He puts paint on Pran's cheek so that he can clean his face... I mean, it works! Until Wai shows up... And they're still telling each other to 'say it first' but Pat's already confessed! istg asfagad;lkgjadjh;kjg
Yes! I love fierce Pran. He doesn't stand for any shit. 👏🏼
Also, you know @thiansong's post about Pran being so Loved? Well, I just realised that Chart was implying that Toto would have to chose between him or Pran and that, if so, Toto would chose Chart... But actually he doesn't because Pran stays and Chart goes. Pran is so LOVED!
Oh... Pran then repeats Pat's "I'm not always playing games with you" on the rooftop...
When I first watched the rooftop scene, I thought Pat was being stupid by preventing Pran from confessing but in hindsight he is entirely valid since Pran was doing it because he needed Pat to act in the play. It took me while to understand.
Forever May my beloved. Like with the instrument shop in ep 5, the editing of this scene with this music is inspired! (Again, a scene that feels 'danced' is one that includes an instrument.)
It's interesting that the other actors who auditioned played the role of Kwam - the original male character - whereas Pat played the role of Riam - the traditional female character - reminiscent of the bus stop scene when he played the girlfriend. Thus the show, yet again, is subverting the seme/uke/wife/husband tropes.
And of course in his confession Pat/Kwam talks about not playing games anymore. (And then I'm thinking about that post by @grapejuicegay along with @casualavocados about how the show does things in threes - introduces the idea [micellair scene], increases the tension [rooftop scene], and brings it to a conclusion [confession scene] 🤯)
Oh but that confession though 💖😭💖
AND SOMEONE OPEN THAT DOOR FOR PA!

I knew Brooklyn and Malibu are probably the second biggest ship after Malibu and Ken, but before watching Big City Big Dreams I had no real frame of reference to who Brooklyn is as a person and what their dynamic is like, but after watching it... Istg literally every single time they're on screen together there's just a completely unmissable romantic undertone???
We KNOW the Barbie staff is capable of writing platonic relationships, because Malibu has tons of platonic friends! So I literally just cannot imagine that this wasn't meant to be gay??? Istg at times the symbolism and chemistry was better than with Ken, and?? I'm genuinely really confused by the whole thing because if they're capable of writing this sort of romantic tension without making it awkward (ugh "do you want to dance?") then why not put that effort towards what is very obviously gonna be the endgame couple? I love Ken, he's great, but things were kinda awkward and a bit cringe before BCBD when it comes to those two, and then they turn around and deliver this flawless romance devoid of any implicit depiction even though I feel like it's unmissable and.. Why was this not done with Ken?
I like Brooklyn well enough, I loved her a lot by the middle of the movie but the way she so easily got played and needed "proof" to believe in Malibu, as if they weren't all goofing off and she had other friends to verify it was an accident even without a video... Like, that was NOT a good look for her, and the movie in general really suffered from just like... Being a movie, actually- it would've made for an amazing series with room to let things develop more, which the staff working on it obviously realized given that there are two seasons of a Double Barbie show, but! My god was the pace here suboptimal lol
Also whatttt the fuck in regards to Emmie's dad, he's AWFUL and that never got resolved and I'm hoping to god that storyline gets continued and that Emmie and Rafa don't get dropped in the sequels/spin offs
Rafa felt off in a way I couldn't put my finger for a while, but I think it's that he just looks way older in comparison to the other three lol. I don't really have any particular feelings towards him otherwise but I'd like it if he could stay relevant and become more than a gay coded fashionista with a dog. For example, he clearly has some theatrical skills and I'd love to see them maybe expand on that rather than chalk it up to this being a musical, because that one song he sang had me more invested in his character than all of his other scenes combined lol, like I was SURE he wasn't gonna take part but then he did and it was great and I kinda want an in universe explanation for that??
Anyway the ending left me feeling like it was very rushed and with a lot of unanswered questions and I'm hoping that the follow-ups to this are good! The beginning/middle parts of the movie were really good but the ending kinda really tanked it. For a movie that did a surprisingly good job with its montages, it still failed to have them in some places where they were SORELY needed and it left it as a weaker story as a result... But it's no big deal to me so long as they manage to make up for the stuff they missed in the sequels, so... Here's to hoping!

Can you talk about how the books aren't in the main game canon? Istg ever since the security breach ones people have been scrapped for lore and started treating those as such. Like it was definetlt talked during the beggining of the faz frights ones..then fizzled out
That's a lot of research I don't think I want to do right now but in short:
The books alluded to many different locations of Freddy's that just don't seem to exist in game. We don't know how big the Freddy's franchise was, or when it was open, but a lot of stories contradict each other in terms of one restaurant, a franchise, an offshoot type of Freddy's, different years for first locations, different animatronics such as Fetch, different types of serial killers such as the one from Into The Pit (where he was killed, I think) and the one from Coming Home(where he was caught and arrested and imprisoned) and The Man From Room 1280 (he got the shit burnt out of him, became immortal, became haunted by a crocodile-masked kid,and then escaped to become Afton's Agony - actually this should be a continuation from after Into The Pit ended. I honestly don't remember but the end is kind of vague on how the guy in the rabbit suit got out of the ball pit, or got back into it, or if he died going back in or if he died by other means), and tons more other inconsistencies.
These show that many stories are their own canon or share the overarching book canon, the one with Detective Larson, Jake, Andrew, and Eleanor. Spoilers, I guess. You could argue that the overarching canon could be part of the game canon, but I don't really see that happening. There's the whole experimenting with Agony aspect of it. There's Eleanor, who kind of looks like Baby, but Baby is not in the main story, even if Eleanor plays a similar role.
It's all very confusing and stupid. I honestly couldn't see it fitting into the game canon in any natural aspect you would literally have to chop pieces off, shove it in, and hammer it down with a rubber mallet.
Just repeat to yourself, it's just a series, I should really just relax. ;)

4 - On the First Day of Mock School (My Roommates Gave to Me…)
Prodigal Sons and Daughters Alike
For a brief moment, whenever he woke up at 9 am, Roman was grateful classes hadn’t started.
He had missed breakfast entirely, not that he minded very much. Besides, Remus, the heathen he was, had woken up at 7 sharp to grab the others something small for when they eventually crawled out of bed.
Chapter title song by… a lot of people, apparently. Google didn’t give me answers, but istg even if you don’t celebrate christmas, this song has probably been shoved down your throat. Anyway, enjoy some actual advancement!
For a brief moment, whenever he woke up at 9 am, Roman was grateful classes hadn’t started.
He had missed breakfast entirely, not that he minded very much. Besides, Remus, the heathen he was, had woken up at 7 sharp to grab the others something small for when they eventually crawled out of bed.
“Welcome back to the land of the living,” he teased brightly when Roman finally emerged from his room. “Ha ha, very funny, Re, thank you for such an original comeback!”
“I thought you said sarcasm was my thing.” Roman nearly jumped as Janus’s voice appeared behind him.
“Jeez, a warning would be great next time, thanks,” he complained, dramatically resting a hand on his chest. “You just nearly gave me a heart attack, one meager day into the start of our brand-new lives! The cruelty, the injustice!”
“What is ‘unjust’ is how unreasonably dramatic you are being, literally ten minutes after waking up,” Janus deadpanned, rolling his eyes not unkindly at Roman. “Anyways, I was coming to tell you your brother ever-so-graciously picked up breakfast for you if you want it. It’s out on the table.”
Roman grunted in appreciation, shuffling over to sit and eat his breakfast as Janus chuckled silently.
“It is too early for you two to be picking on me,” he grumbled, voice muffled as he talked through a bite of waffle. 
“You’re not even going to put syrup on it? Now that is what I call unjust.” Roman resisted the urge to stick out his tongue in retaliation. “So mean to me. You better be careful, or next thing you know, you’ll wake up and I’ll have moved out! Gone in search of better roommates, who grant me the simple pleasure of existing at nine in the morning!”  The boys laughed, startling Patton, who was also just emerging from his room.
“Oops, sorry, Pat. Didn’t mean to wake you up. I simply had to defend my honor from these cretins who seem to think so lowly of me for getting my beauty sleep,” he huffed, turning back to his breakfast when the other two didn’t bother with a response.
Patton shrugged, rubbing at his eyes. “Nah, ‘s fine, I gotta get used to waking up this early again anyway. My summer sleep schedule was not doing me any favors.”
“Ugh, god, seconded,” Remus complained from the couch. “I really gotta stop thinking that going to bed at 2 am and waking up and noon is ever a good idea.”
“At least you woke up before eight like everyone else,” Janus helpfully contributed, and Roman replied, quite eloquently, with a series of offended noises.
“As awesome as it is to see people other than me teasing my brother, I would like to continue to complain about my own fucked up sleep schedule, if you wouldn’t mind,” Remus continued, taking pity on brother, but just a bit.
“Fair enough, grovel away,” Janus conceded, as Patton muttered a small “lanugage” under his breath. The two made their way to sit across from Remus in some of the chairs in their living space. 
Remus did, indeed, grovel, just long enough for Roman to finish his breakfast and join the others in their living space.
“I mean, not gonna lie, that’s about all I can complain about when it comes to, like, being here. The place itself is really nice, and this week is gonna be so much fun, I can already tell.”
“I agree,” Janus added. “It is… pleasant to see that the school itself is actually being maintained quite nicely. The furniture is actually usable, unlike some higher-end college campuses I’ve had the unfortunate displeasure of visiting. That experience didn’t give me a lot of confidence in this place, but it really is nice.”
“Oh my god, same!” Remus agreed. “I hadn’t really thought of that until now, but like… I expected the school to be nice and junk. But, obviously you know, there are ‘nice’ schools that cut corners.”
“I dunno if Professor Sanders has it in him to cut corners at the expense of kids,” Patton sympathized, finally waking up enough to start adding to the conversation. “It kinda goes against his whole reasoning for starting the school.”
“True. Not that I know anything about the guy, other than the two times I’ve heard him talk, but he seems so nice. Very soft, and not in a mean way.”
Patton laughed. “That- yep, very true. Even I don’t know him as well as I could, but from the few times I’ve talked to him, and stories I’ve heard, he’s really nice.”
“...Wait- even? What do you mean by-” Before Janus could finish questioning Patton’s phrasing, Roman perked up from the spot he’d taken on the floor while they’d all been talking.
“I just realized we’re missing someone. Er, well, other than mystery roommate. Has anyone seen Logan?” 
“Oh, yeah,” Remus piped in. “He was up when I left to get breakfast, and we ate together. I think he said something about meeting teachers and getting an early start on schoolwork, the nerd.”
“I mean, that’s not the worst idea,” Roman pointed out. “Honestly, I kinda want to do the same. I mean, not necessarily the ‘schoolwork’ bit, but I should start to figure out where all my classes are. That is basically the point of this week, isn’t it?” 
Remus let out a loud and dramatic groan, slowly flopping over the edge of the couch. “Didn’t you already take care of that yesterday?”
“Well, yes, but I didn’t got to all my classes in order. I just… kinda went everywhere, and talked to everyone. Janus can vouch, we just visited all the most interesting places while our parents were still here. It made sense to save the schedule stuff for when we had more free time.”
Remus sighed from his new spot hanging over the couch. “I mean, you’re right, and whatever, I guess. Don’t rub it in.”
Roman laughed, moving to stand so he could hover Remus. “I’m gonna start getting ready to head out. You can continue existing as human jello, or you can come with me. Just, if you’re coming, be ready in about half an hour, m’kay?” 
Remus just groaned again as his twin walked away with a smile. Patton took the opportunity to spread out on the couch as Remus didn’t seem to be moving anytime soon. “Y’know, if I wasn’t able to tell you guys were brothers before, I can tell now. You talk to each other like- not like an old married couple because- ew, but-”
“Like if two vampires were roommates for five hundred years and knew everything about each other but only seem to barely tolerate each other?” Remus suggested. 
“Uh, yes? How did you come up with that so quickly?” Remus shrugged. “I get that one a lot. When you have a twin brother, the default get-to-know-you questions tend to be unfortunately similar, so I have a lot of, particular responses saved up.”
“Huh, I guess that makes sense, having default responses. I don’t know what it’s like to be a twin, but I totally get that.” Remus frowned, righting himself so he could meet Patton’s eyes. “In what ways? Like- words are hard, but when do you deal with that? Just out of curiosity.”
“Oh! Uh, I guess I should kinda explain. It’s a little personal, but I spent a lot of time here as a kid, and I’m kind of friends by extension with a lot of the staff because of that. There are a lot of older students who know who I am too, but a lot of them assume I… didn’t have to work that hard to get here, I’m missing the word right now. Which, that’s a lie, but sometimes it’s darn near impossible to get people to believe that. So, I have a formula for it now.”
Remus scrunched up his nose. “Were you looking for ‘nepotism’? And yeah that sucks. People still do that shit, even after you keep shutting them down?” 
“Oh yeah! Thanks, words are hard. And, yeah” Patton sighed. “Even when I was a kid, like baby, kid, they would make- a lot of unfortunate assumptions. But I got used to it! I mean, I’m sure you get uncomfortable questions about the twin thing.”
“Unfortunately, yeah. People suck when they don’t understand things. I guess, if I ask why you were here as a kid, I’m not gonna get that answer, huh?” 
Patton gave a grim smile. “Yeah, not quite yet… It’s not- it’s not a secret, or anything like that. Er, kinda. I just… gosh, it’s hard to explain, but it would be nice to keep it private for now? If you don’t mind?” 
“Oh my god, of course,” Remus said instantly. “I am not gonna push any boundaries if you don’t wanna talk about it. I was just curious, but I can shut up about it now and we can talk about something else, yeah?” 
“Yeah,” Patton giggled. “Thanks. And watch your language!”
Remus huffed. “You’re not my mommy, I can say what I want!” 
Patton laughed again, bantering back and forth with Remus for a bit until his twin emerged from his room with a bright smile.
“Alright! I’m almost ready to go.” He turned his attention to Remus, who was still trying to stop laughing from a comment Patton had made just moments ago. “Re? You good?
“Heh… yes, fine. I guess I’ll get my shit together now, or whatever,” he groused, flopping over the back of the couch dramatically again and beginning to crawl in the direction of his room.
Roman rolled his eyes. “Well, I guess he’ll be ready eventually. I don’t suppose either of you would like to join us?”
Janus shrugged, suddenly reminding Patton that he’d been sitting there the whole time he and Remus had talked. “I suppose I could. I’m already dressed and all, so I suppose I can join you.”
“Ooh, yeah, I’ll come, too!” Patton agreed. “Just aminute!” He jumped up and slid off to his room to get dressed.
“No need to rush!” Roman called as his friend’s door slammed behind him. “Well, at least he’ll be ready by the time Remus decides to join us,” he teased to himself. 
Roman knew his brother was just as excited about the early start and his knew classes. He was just- goofy about showing it, he supposed. He was sure he’d be listening to his twin rambling excitedly about the new experience by lunch. 
He had a feeling the others felt the same way about their chosen skills, given that Logan had left hours ago and that Janus’ eyes had lighten up despite the casual reply he gave.
It took, perhaps, a bit longer than was strictly necessary, but they did eventually get everyone together to leave, only about five minutes after Roman said he would, which was probably a record they wouldn’t ever break. 
Despite all that, the anticipation in the air was palpable. The rest of his roomates didn’t even seem all that disappointed when they inevitably split off to their different tracks. That was, of course, after Patton checked to ensure they all had each other’s numbers, and set up a group chat so they could find each other later in the day.
It wasn’t until Janus turned to a different hallway that Roman was truly alone, but he found that just moments later, when he arrived at the auditorium to see dance practices already happening, that he wasn’t all that disappointed about it.

yikes, ok, SO
i would first and foremost like to thank you with complete sincerity for RUINING my week. istg i started in for a penny, in for a pound on like, FRIDAY, and demolished all 480k words like a dumpster-diving raccoon on garbage night.
let me tell you, when i finished thirsty and realized that the next installment wasn't a sequel, i almost threw up. that being said, every gd word of hot girl summer made the whole thing so much more fun and painful and horrible and amazing, sooo... who am i to complain?
ik it's been about a month since you updated—and a few scattered author's notes might suggest i could have to wait even longer—but i want u to know that i will be screaming, crying, throwing up while waiting for your next chapter😭(no rush tho 👀)
anyway, desperation aside, i noticed you use songs as inspiration a lot and i figured i'd share a few that have been running through my mind since i started reading:
-Alone- Heart (ik u got a thing for those 80s jams so LISTEN OK it's so them "til now, i always got by on my own/ i never really cared until i met you/ and now it chills me to the bone/ how do i get you alone?" pls i swear bethyl has ruined so many songs for me but ESPECIALLY this one, i mean come onnn)
-Wildest Dreams- Taylor Swift (don't lie to me, maybe daryl isn't a swiftie but i can tell you might be, on the DL. the whole chorus is so this fic, what with the romance they know has to end, desperately creating memories so the other won't forget them. and tell me this line—"someday when you leave me/ i bet these memories/ follow you around"—isn't SO bethyl. like, do the words "you're gonna miss me so bad when i'm gone, daryl dixon" mean anything to u??
anyways, that about sums it up. sorry for the massive ask, except not really because i need to let this all out somewhere, and seeing how it's all ur fault...
LMAO hope all is well and happy writing booface xoxo 😘
Well hot damn. I’m not gonna lie, I panicked for a second when I read the first line of this ask, and then it made me smile like a crazy person 😂
I deeply apologize for ruining your week (kinda) and also HOLY HELL, you read all that in a weekend??? Are you okay????
I actually am genuinely sorry HGS wasn’t a direct sequel, but I’m glad you’re still enjoying it 😅 as far as an update goes, I have like half of the next chapter written, but I’ve been having some health issues this month that put me into a bit of a mental slump. It won’t be much longer before I continue tho.
Omg thank you for the song recs!!! Yes, I am a slut for the 80s songs (they give me so many vibes for this series), and yes, you are correct about me being a low key Swiftie (cruel summer has become like my anthem for the whole ifap series, can’t wait for you to see where it ends up being included.)
This ask made my whole day so thank you thank you thank you!!!! 🥰💞
(ps: “booface”? I see what you did there 👀😂😂)

hey, im not sure if youre even active nowadays but i just had to tell you this. :) i stumbled upon your to all the boys heeseung fic while just browsing the tag, and honestly i just started reading it for the promise of smut. but you write so beautifully and it was so well fleshed out its honestly one of my favorite things i've read in a while.
the ending made me cry so hard. i can't even explain why, it was just so real and highkey cathartic, reminding me of all my past failed relationships and to appreciate the good times. also as a heeseung stan too, it helped me process a lot of feelings and accept that one day ill have to move on too because nothing will come out of my obsession, but also to appreciate the times i did spend.
i dont even know if you intended it to be that deep but i just want to thank you for letting me experience that. you're such a great writer, i hope that you continue to make even bigger things. you decribe feelings and situations in such a soft but emotionally loaded way, i really enjoyed it. that was the only fic ive read of yours and im still crying writing this, i def want to read more.
have a great day!

god this made me so happy 🥺🩷 honestly, some relationships work and some don’t, i just wanted to show pure and innocent love where both of them were just trying to accept their feelings, but deep inside they knew that the relationship had slim chances of working and i’m so so glad you liked it, anonnie! it means a lot to me that you came here and wrote this pretty feedback ☹️🫶🏼 i think i do love writing about emotions, and a lot of times i tend to include my own emotions in the fics, i’ve done so especially in this series!
this made my day istg, i hope you take care and have the most amazing day/night ahead, anonnie. 🩷
