Ace, Lilia: Be Not Deceived

OH???? 👁️ One of the paintings in the background is the Ace of Hearts card soldiers… Does this mean we’ll get to see the actual character inspos for each boy, even the obscure ones like Jack and Sebek??? Will we finally solve a 3+ year long mystery??????? 🔍

… Also, not Ace casually wanting to go to karaoke with Scar 😭 (Funny, cuz he was denied hearing L*ona sing during Endless Halloween Night.) Figures that Ace would be the best at singing of the first years, the others are just no competition…

A Tale as Old as Time.

Not every work of art had a seriousness about it. In fact, Ace preferred to ogle the sillier pieces, finding solace in the nonsense and the chaos of them.

Hands shoved into the pockets of his finely tailored slacks, he found himself entranced by a bed of oysters. They were pried open, one half of their shells propped up to resemble bonnets. Their fleshy, round faces were still drowsy from sleep.

Little babies, the whole lot of them.

“My, you’ve taken quite an interest in that painting. I wouldn’t have expected it of you.” The remark came from Lilia, who curiously peered over at Ace from one side. “Have you an interest in oysters?”

“Nah, can’t stand’m. Especially raw,” he replied. “I was just thinkin’ of something I heard from back home."

“Oh?" Lilia’s large eyes glittered with a keen interest. “Now this I must hear.”

“It’s not really that interesting.” Ace shrugged. “A walrus dressed up in a suit to wine and dine a bunch of oysters—but the punchline is, instead of being taken out to dinner, the oysters are the walrus’s dinner! We have a Walrus-brand oyster sauce in the Queendom of Roses that gets its name from that story."

“Kufufu, I see! What a fascinating origin," Lilia mused. "It's a cautionary tale to not trust strangers. It brings to mind warnings to be wary of wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

"I guess so? The walrus looked nice at first glance, but he basically robbed a cradle. Seriously, who'd actually go and kidnap a baby like that? It’s just an exaggerated story to scare gullible kids into acting straight.”

Lilia's mouth adopted a mysterious, knowing smile.

"Oh, you'd be surprised!" he chuckled softly. "You never know when a big, bad monster might come in the night to steal you away from your family."

There was an eerie intenseness behind his every word, the magenta of his irises darkening to match. A shiver bolted down Ace’s spine. Lilia, too, was a creature of that very night that threatened to consume him.

"Y-Yeesh, you're freakin' me out, Lilia-senpai” Ace jokingly shoved his upperclassman. His fear had been fleeting, easily chased off with a laugh. “Don't say scary stuff like that. Halloween isn't for like another whole month!"

“Oopsie~ Perhaps I’m a little overeager.”

“I’ll say.” Ace rolled his eyes. “Sometimes I forget how weird you can be.”

“What, you don’t think someone as adorable as me could possibly be capable of committing a war crime or two?” Lilia grinned. “I’m not entirely innocent, you know.”

“You definitely wouldn’t be able to pull off any war crimes though!! You just act way different than your looks would suggest.” Ace rapped his knuckles on the wall beside the framed oysters. “Like the lying walrus.”

“Do you think I’m a lying walrus?” The question was teasing.

“Everyone is. There’s plenty of them in Heartslabyul too.” Ace counted off on his fingers.

“Loosey Deucy comes off like a straight-laced honors student, but he’s an ex-delinquent and dumb as a rock. Cater-senpai looks flashy and friendly, but he’ll trick you into doing his chores and leave you hanging. Trey-senpai’s got his weird teeth hobby… and then there’s Riddle-ryocho, who has a babyface but throws fits like an active volcano!!

“The Great Seven had parts of themselves that were surprising too. No one would think the King of Beasts would be the type of guy to be belt out a song, but he still did. That’s what moved the hyenas to join his cause. It just goes to show that you really can’t judge a book by its cover.”

"A good takeaway from the tale," Lilia agreed. "Taking the morals of a story to heart... you're very clever, Ace."

"The cleverest." He cheekily stuck out his tongue.

The knowing smile suddenly returned to Lilia's face. "I'm sure you have a wicked side to yourself as well. As you've said, we all have a bit of the lying walrus in us."

"No way, miss me with that. I’m the poor, helpless victim,” Ace grumbled, rubbing at his neck. It had stiffened considerably at the memory of his skin chaffing. “Haaah, if only I wasn't bullied so much by my dorm leader~"

"By Riddle?" Lilia smirked a little. "His temper is rather infamous. Silver and Sebek are his club mates. I've heard of Riddle's rage.”

"Dude, you don't know the half of it. He's always nagging me one way or another, and if I don't listen... BAM!

"'Off with Your Head'!!" Ace scrunched up his face in a show of pretend anger and pantomimed casting a spell by wiggling his fingers. The voice he adopted was elegant, yet arrogant—a replica of Riddle's. "Now you sit there and think about what you've done, Ace! The collar comes off when you've repented."

He fell back with a groan, Lilia's amused chuckle accompanying him in the otherwise quiet museum.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up while you still can."

From the corner of his eye, Ace spotted the oysters again. The entire bed, a colony of easily deceived infants. Unaware of the world and its eager, snapping jaws—the jaws of a well-dressed walrus.

“Guess a smile and a snazzy suit is all it takes to get people to waltz right into a trap, huh? With the right looks and attitude, even a villain can be made to pass as a hero.”

Ace tugged at the silver sash slung across his torso, drinking in the details of his luxurious platinum suit. A bow tie, a vest, a jacket with trailing coattails. Shining fabric, pure and unblemished.

He was all dressed up, with nowhere to go. Only lies to tell.

“You make for a good hero,” Lilia offered, “with that winsome charm and cheer of yours. Ah, but that’s not all. It never is. These old eyes can’t be deceived.”

“Whaaat? I can’t believe you’d side with Riddle over me. I’m being unfairly ganged up on here!! Aaah, my senpai are so mean to me…!”

His laments echoed off the cavernous rooms of the museum. Mere whining of a high school boy against the backdrop of great figures and illustrious history.

He was small, one little white lie against a sea of them.

“… Juuust kidding.”

Ace turned away, a wink thrown playfully at the painting of the oysters before their very doom.

As if anyone would believe that.

Happy Monday fandom :) I love these episodes for them. I know they’re not always a fan favorite but I adore them. Just for the Chenford content alone. The married moments, the touching, the sassy banter. What’s not to love? Just like I did for 3x07 I’ll just be analyzing their moments in this ep. Since they’re disconnected from rest of group for most part. Let's get going shall we?

4x16 Real Crime

Sunshine x Grumpy at it's absolute finest kicking this episode off. Lucy is so jazzed to be back. Her little foot kick after she asks how they are? I cannot. She’s so cute. Tim is already over it from the moment his sexy ass hits that chair. It’s so friggin funny. Our king of expressions is on one in this ep. Tim judges Lucy the entire time with serious sass throw in. Their banter mode is on right away and never turns off. We start off with them asking Tim if he saw the last one? Of course he didn't...

Why would he? The only way he would watch it is if Lucy forced him to. haha Lucy rolling her eyes at his answer but with a hint of fondness. She loves her grumpy old man so much. The married train has officially left the station. All aboard. The ride is gonna be hilarious. Tim gets them back on track saying they were first responders to the scene. Tim notes how frustrating it was with all the cameras and coverage nobody saw anything. Nothing useful for the investigation. I mean that is ridiculous tbh. I'm with him on that one.

Lucy tries to add colorful sound bites and Tim is judging her so damn hard. The amount of sass in that second gif. He was not about that line at all. Like who are you right now? Their mini fight in front of the interviewer I’m dying. ‘Why are you SO happy?’ 'I'm being colorful!' LMFAO Lucy defends why she’s doing this and Tim can’t believe it. The bickering in hushed tones is too funny. Like a true couple. Lucy imitating a wife scolding her husband while defending herself.

God I love these idiots sfm. Naturally this is the last thing Tim wants to be doing. The shake of his head above is one of many to come. We all know he would much rather be out on the streets than dealing with this circus. Lucy going the opposite direction. Wanting to get them as many segments as possible We all know the less he's in this the better for him. He barely wants to be in the amount he's in now. heh

This next section is one of my faves. First off I love and commend Lucy’s confidence to just rap in public. I adore her so very much. She couldn’t be cuter in this episode if she tried. Of course she has a karaoke jam I adore her. She is more than happy to share this info. We’ve talked about Eric’s comedic timing. He is absolute gold in this.

His reactions from start to finish are what make this portion so amusing. Goes from 'Huh?' to 'WTF is happening?' It's so funny every time I watch it. Tim doesn't need to say anything. His facial expressions say it all. The sheer amount of judgement he is throwing her way is immense. This is the woman you’ve chosen to love Timothy LOL

Lucy is in her own world as she jams this out. Tim is next her with all the judgment he can muster. These moments are one of the many reasons why he loves her though. Just being 100 percent herself no shame in the game. We know it’s these types of goobery scenes that he actually enjoys from her. She looks so joyful and happy when she turns to sing at him. Then she see's his reaction.... Prompting the iconic line below that always makes me laugh.

Tim’s confusion of her rapping is everything I have to say. I think she’s partly trying to impress him with her rapping skills. He doesn’t give her anything though. LOL They’re so cute I might burst. The marriage moment to end this scene is the best. ‘Can I be interviewed alone? ‘ LMFAO. She is already over his grumpy ass and I’m laughing so hard. Eric and Melissa play off each other so well. It’s a delight to watch them. They have so much chemistry just sitting next to one another. It''s unreal.

We flit back to them talking about Aaron’s father’s musical partner. Tim delivers a ‘colorful’ sound bit of his own. Lucy is beaming with pride. So much so she has to say to make sure it's noted. Interrupting to heap on that praise. Then casually touches his arm. Not a short touch either. It's 4 seconds. Yes I counted heh She lingers. I love watching Tim get all fidgety and hot under the collar after she does this.

Wringing his hands to shake off the feelings washing over him. Trying not to have his feelings recorded for this documentary. Too late... It’s so cute because one he clearly got a little contact high off that touch. Two she just complimented him publicly with the proudest look on her face. He is riding high ha Look at her. That is proud wifey mode right there. Especially after he thanks her for the compliment.

She tries to put herself back in check but is brimming with giddiness. It's adorable. I cannot with these two. *heart clutch* Be more in love please. It's one of those 'Everyone knows but them moments.' He’s also just so cute when he says ‘Thanks..’ haha Oh my Timothy you are so out of your depth with this documentary. But so adorable I wanna squeeze you. Part me of thinks he was trying to get into this for Lucy. Impress her a little with his quote. Mission accomplished sir. Your girl was very proud. Love these idiots in love so much.

Their chemistry is so palpable in these scenes. They're asked a question about the knife in Aaron's kitchen. Saying his DNA was all over the murder weapon. Well duh....Lucy slams the interviewer hard with some solid logic and sass. They're trying to implicate Aaron for having DNA all over the knife in his kitchen... Lucy absolutely destroys this guy's stupid question. Then starts to feel bad afterwards. Checks in with hubby and asks if that was too mean?

Lucy couldn't be cuter turning to her person for feedback. Her immediate reaction to do so getting me all in the feels. I adore him backing her like he does. She looks to him for reassurance and he gives it to her in spades. Saying no that it actually felt good. To be able to stick it to them a bit. You know he is proud of her for doing so. Instead of doing an evocative soundbite she knocked them down a peg. He didn't need to help her in the dept. But the support one? Nailed it.

I love her proud and smug face when he says it was a dumb question. Careful Lucy your feelings are showing my love. Look at her in that first gif. She a ten but crap at hiding her feelings. The second gif is that same look she always gets when he compliments her. *sigh* I just love them. He backs her so fiercely here and Lucy is so ecstatic with his reply. It’s all over her face especially in the last one. That smug smile when he validates her is everything fo her. Basically saying my hubby says I'm right so that means I am haha

Tag team of smug righteousness and it’s amazing. He is oozing proudness in this moment for her. He followed it up with having her back and she’s a happy girl. Let’s not forget the gloriousness that is Tim’s biceps and forearms out on display. Mmm defending his girl and his arms are crossed? Pass the ice water imma need it. This man is deliciously fit and I too am a happy girl in this moment.

The case leads them to a woman named Colette who was brought home to their apt that same night. She had a controlling BF that was never questioned. Cue back to Lucy and Tim. Lucy explaining how a group of internet sleuths found him. How they spent countless hours investigating Aaron’s case. Tim notes this group also pointed the finger at a lot of innocent people ruining their lives… Lucy comments some of the members went little too far.... That's putting it lightly. lol

It’s here the interviewer reveals a prominent poster named ‘truecrimejunkie.’ Implying it’s Lucy who posts under that name. The amount of sass Tim is throwing her way is hysterical. I'm laughing so very hard. Tim’s reaction is the best part of this whole scene. It’s the intense stare down he does. This episode has me laughing from beginning to end. The way he fully turns to her is hilarious. Making fun of his wife with just a look. Lucy stumbling around for words and coming up short.

That moment when your husband finds out about your secret internet life LOL Lucy could not be more embarrassed. Stuttering trying to defend herself to Tim. It’s so funny. It finishes off with Tim’s ‘Seriously?’ Eric and Melissa are a god damn treasure. We are so lucky to have them. It's truly mind blowing the chemistry these two have just with their banter alone. What makes these episodes so very good with their segments. They are the best part with their back and forth. I love this episode for them. I defy you not to laugh or smile with this one.

It comes out Aaron’s mom was in Paris the day Patrick was murdered. Lucy gets all hyped up when they ask what they thought of this? The true crime junkie in her coming out. Saying what a game changer it was. Tim brings her back down to earth with his reply. Lucy doing her cute ‘Well yeah…’

Tim shaking his head. Not at her but this whole documentary. He hates the feelings/people being exploited in this whole thing. Doesn’t sit well with him at all. Once again proving Tim is just a good man on the daily. Not trying to impress anyone with it. It's just who he is as person. His integrity deeply ingrained in him.

Unlike the clown. He's not even in this one but I had to point this out and take a shot. lol Also let's not ignore the GLORIOUS forearm/bicep porn here. My god it's a miracle his work shirt contains those guns of his. Bursting at the seams with muscled goodness. I’m here for it. He could bench press me any day. I'm available is all I'm saying...

We cut back to Tim and Lucy talking about the case being closed. They have their killer finally. Aaron has been exonerated in the process. She starts on another ‘colorful’ bit and stops herself. Rubbing her tattoo feeling how wrong this is. The way she stops herself mid sentence knowing this. Tim jumping in saying ‘Feels gross doesn’t it?’ She agrees and says 'Yeah.'

Look at Lucy growing in this documentary at the end. No longer wanting to do 'colorful' sound bites to get them more time. Being much more focused on respecting those involved. Her ending statement is much better than her potential ‘juicy sound bite’ Look at our babies still growing. I love this episode. So nice to have after a clown fueled previous ep.

~~~

Side notes non-Chenford

Everyone is funny on these types of episodes. Always enjoy their bits. Especially Harper haha

Patrick’s dad coming to apologize to Aaron was a really nice way to close that chapter of his life. Was very sweet.

Thank you as always to those who like, comment and reblog. I appreciate you all more than you’ll ever know. See you all in 4x17 :)

Peter Tork with Arlo Guthrie and Timothy Leary on the set of Alice's Restaurant, 1968. Photo 1 by Steve Schapiro/Corbis via Getty Images, photo 2 courtesy of Everett Collection.

(Peter knew Arlo from the Greenwich Village days, particularly, according to 16 magazine, Peter's February 1964 visit to his old stomping grounds.) "[T]he Monkees use the new energies to sing the new songs and pass on the new message. [...] The Monkees' television show. Oh, you thought that it was silly teenage entertainment? Don't be fooled. While it lasted, it was a classic Sufi put on. An early-Christian electronic satire. A mystic magic show. A jolly Buddha laugh at hypocrisy. At early evening kiddie-time on Monday the Monkees would rush through a parody drama, burlesquing the very shows that glue Mom and Dad to the set during prime time. Spoofing the movies and the violence and the down-heavy-conflict-emotion themes that fascinate the middle-aged. And woven into the fast-moving psychedelic stream of action were the prophetic, holy, challenging words. Micky was rapping quickly, dropping literary names, making scholarly references: then the sudden psychedelic switch of the reality channel. He looked straight at the camera, right into your living room, and up-levelled the comedy by saying: 'Pretty good talking for a long-haired weirdo, huh, Mr. and Mrs. America?' And then ZAP, flash. Back to the innocuous comedy. Or, in a spy drama, Micky warned Peter: ‘Why this involves the responsibility for blowing up the entire world!’ Peter, confidently: ‘I’ll take that responsibility!’ And Micky, with a glance at the camera, said, ‘Wow! With a little more ego he’ll be ready to run for President!’ Why, it all happened so fast, LBJ, you didn’t even see it." - Timothy Leary, The Politics of Ecstasy (1968)

The Profit & Love Statement » Pt. 21

↠ Pairing: Seokjin x Reader

↠ Genre: Fluff, Comedy, Angst

↳ 4.5k / CEO AU

↠ Summary: Through hours of endless training and hard work, Kim Seokjin is finally the CEO of Kim Electronics. He has everything at his hands - status, money, power. He owes it all to you, his rigid and sarcastic mentor who overseed his entire training. But as he steps into the shoes of becoming the CEO, he can only wonder what it means for your relationship now.

↠ A/N: If anyone would like to see the clip referenced in this chapter for research purposes, here it is.

↠ Next Update: Tuesday, November 21 (series masterpost here)

Jin is hunched over, features screwed shut.

You’re currently inside his office, keeping a hand on his back and watching as he curls up in pain.

A huff leaves you. “I told you not to overdo it.”

“And I told you I had to!” He protests – only to immediately regret it and deeply wince.

A defeated sigh leaves his lips. “I just wonder how long I’ll be like this.”

“By the looks of it, a good week.” You retort, “Why didn’t you just take the day off?”

“I’m the CEO…” He mumbles, opting to plant his face against his desk.

You let out a long drawn-out sigh. In this case, the single person responsible for his dilemma was simply himself.

Planting a hand against your hip and cocking up a brown, you’re extremely blunt with him.

“Well, this is what you get for karaoking so hard.”

Jin glances at you, a pout on his lips from your choice of wording. But you don’t budge, knowing exactly how this all conspired.

The whole concept of the evening came from one person.

“Karaoke?”

“We should go!” Jungkook exclaims, speaking with you as he makes his coffee. “I already asked everybody.”

“I don’t know,” You bite your bottom lip, “I’ve never done it before…”

“It’ll be fun,” He insists, slipping a card out from his suit’s pocket. You peer at it, noticing the words ‘brand new location’ at the top, which happened only a street away from your workplace. “Bring Seokjin along too.”

You snort, “Are you sure the two of you won’t start fighting?”

“No promises.” He says with a sly smile.

You had decided to bring it up to Jin after work – who to your surprise is extremely onboard with the whole idea. He surprises you even more by mentioning that he actually loves doing karaoke and that he even dragged Namjoon down with him one time, to which you could ask him just how talented he is at it.

Ultimately making the decision to go, you’re not quite sure what exactly to expect when you open the door to your assigned room.

Your irises round at the pure chaos.

The very first thing you notice is how cramped the room is, an abundance of both snacks and alcoholic drinks littering the humongous table in front of the karaoke machine. The second thing would be where all your friends are situated – Hoseok and Taehyung are loudly cheering next to the machine as Jimin sits on the bench sheepishly with Yoongi, slowly clapping his hands as the latter holds an amused smile with crossed arms.

The last thing you notice is Jungkook holding one of the mics in his hand, abruptly switching from singing softly to straight up rapping, leaving you astounded.

Behind you, Jin glances around with a huge smile and you slip in next to Yoongi on the bench.

“Having fun, I assume?” You shout a bit loudly over Jungkook’s vocals.

He grins, appearing to have had a drink or two. “You came at the best part.”

Jimin shuffles closer to Yoongi, making eye contact with you. “Jungkook’s pretty good, Y/N!”

You hum in agreement, watching him continue to rap as Hoseok takes the other mic, hyping him up with background sounds. Taehyung reaches over, smiling as he offers you some fries they had previously ordered, something that you gladly take.

Your eyes widen when Jin slips off his suit jacket, tucking it next to you.

“You’re going?”

He cheekily winks. “Of course, I have to show you how talented I am.”

After a couple more lines, the song ends and everyone claps for Jungkook. He wipes some sweat away from his temples and Jin leans over to Hoseok, presumably asking him for the second mic.

Jin smirks, rolling up his sleeves. “I bet I can rap better than you.”

“Is that a challenge?” Jungkook inquires.

Your gaze nervously darts between the two of them, already seeing the brewing tension. However, you fail to acknowledge the playful look in Jin’s eyes as the music begins and Loner by Outsider starts to play.

Your mouth draws wide open when Jin starts rapping.

You’re not the only one with the stunned reaction, the friends surrounding you are all instantly struck with awe with how effortlessly he raps – even Jungkook, who quickly pitches in with hyping him up.

At one point, you, Jimin and Yoongi start bobbing your heads to the beat, fascinated with his good flow. Hoseok chuckles when he skips over some words, but still claps for him nonetheless as he continues.

But then you’re leaning against Yoongi, attempting to stifle your laughter when he starts sounding angry, almost like he was reprimanding someone instead of karaoking.

After speeding through the words but still managing to stay on beat, he draws towards the end of the song and Hoseok quickly encourages him to drop the mic, to which he does.

Everyone practically roars with a cheer, loud enough to alert nearby rooms.

Jin appears absolutely exhausted, but gets tackled by Hoseok and Jungkook, who are still cheering for him. Even Yoongi shouts, clapping his hands with a proud smile.

He stumbles over to you, grabbing a drink from the table. Your eyes are glued to him, still staring in awe.

“I didn’t know you could do that!” You exclaim over the song Taehyung begins to sing.

“Do what? Rap like a genius?” He quirks up a brow, clearly amused from your reaction.

“Well, yeah!” You profess, “You were amazing!”

He grins, leaning down and pecking you on the cheek. “Just wait till you hear me sing.”

Putting his drink down, he heads over to Jungkook for the mic. The latter looks up at him with bright eyes, whispering something along the lines of ‘we need to do a song together!’ to which Jin fondly nods at.

A warm smile stretches on your lips.

***

Jin wasn’t lying. At all.

After Taehyung finishes his song, he takes the microphone and puts on a balled, before handing Jungkook the second mic.

The soft music plays and you are thoroughly shocked for the second time of the day.

His voice is both beautiful and melodious, akin to being angelic. Jungkook joins him after one line, harmonizing effortlessly and their voices mix together, resonating throughout the room.

As Taehyung hugs Jimin who giggles at the action, Hoseok raises his drink and sways side and side while Yoongi hums along, a small smile on his lips.

You are left with simple staring – being impressed once again by him. It’s something he practically thrives on, darting his gaze over at you consistently and fishing for compliments, which you gladly give to him.

The rest of the night flashes by – more songs being added to the queue and empty cartons and bottles scattered all over the table. Everyone ends up being either drunk out of their mind or utterly exhausted with the strain on their vocal cords.

You were forced to wrench off Jin from the karaoke machine once the clock struck midnight, but he had continued to sing, running high on energy as he bounced up and down. Hoseok ended up helping you, turning off the machine as you grabbed Jin’s hand and brought him outside with everyone else.

Which segways into your current dilemma – aka Jin managed to karaoke to the point where his back gave out.

“I’ll need to leave.” You inform Soyou, eyes downcasted. “I have... bit of an emergency.”

“Of course, Y/N.” She immediately responds, “Please keep me posted about it.”

You nod, thoughts running astray.

About my boyfriend’s karaoke condition? Of course.

Turning to head towards your cubicle, Yoongi peeks out from his side.

“Is he alright?”

“Not really.” You mutter, “He’s been in pain all day and refused to call in sick, so I forced him to take the rest of the day off.” Taking your bag, you sling it against your shoulder, “I’m leaving too, he needs someone to look after him.”

“Well, he did put on quite the show yesterday.” He points out, voice soft. “I hope he gets better soon.”

The corners of your mouth lift, and you leave, waving at Yoongi as you do. Heading down on the elevator, you find Jin at the front, still hunched over against the wall and waiting for your arrival.

To your shock, he’s with someone else.

“Your back is giving out?” The man throws his head back, laughing loudly.

Jin scoffs, “How come you’re fine and I’m not?!”

“Because you’re old and I’m still youthful, of course.”

“Yah!”

Jungkook childishly snickers and you’re stunned to see Jin begin to protest more against him.

“Jungkook?” You question, watching him whirl around with crossed arms. “What are you doing here?”

“What does it look like?” He gestures to Jin, “Someone had to make sure our lovely Ahjussi made it to the elevator.”

Jin’s eyes are boiling in rage and you’re speechless as Jungkook grins, like he knows he’s said something to tick off Jin.

“How dare you call me that?!”

“That’s what you get for being old!” He calls out. “I’ll leave him in your care, Y/N.”

You playfully roll your eyes, “Get back to work already.”

His eyes crinkle and he spins on heels, lightly jogging back.

Leaning down, you take one of Jin’s arms and place it around your neck, letting half of his weight rest on you.

“I didn’t know the two of you were so close.” You sing-song, walking outside with him. Rummaging through your pockets, you locate your phone and call for a cab.

“He’s such a brat.” He remarks, “But I suppose he’s not so bad...”

You chuckle, setting your phone down.

“Says the person that was jealous of him.”

“Hey, that was before I got to know him!” He protests.

You let out a sigh, recognizing and waving the cab driver closer. He stops right in front of the two of you by the curb, and you help Jin inside the car.

“So sorry.” You smile cheekily in his direction. “You’re right, I won’t say anything else about your new best friend.”

A deep pout mars his lips and you giggle, slipping into the car with him.

“You need to stop moving around!”

Jin grimaces, features twisted up. He keeps shifting around, attempting to stagger forward towards your apartment on his own.

A pained huff leaves him, “How else am I supposed to walk then?!”

“I told you already, just lean against me.” You chide, attempting to support his weight. He walks rather lop-sidedly, another wince running through him.

You finally arrive at your door and jam your keys in, turning the lock.

Entering inside, you let the door close behind you and trudge towards your couch, to which Jin plops down on quite dramatically.

You let out a huge exhale of relief, spinning on your heels into the direction of your bedroom. A quick glance at the clock tells you it’s still early in the afternoon and that Yuna wouldn’t be home anytime soon, still being at school.

Returning to your living room, you emerge with a blanket and toss it onto Jin.

“Don’t get up.” You state.

He recoils on the couch with a laugh, “I wasn’t planning to.”

Lightly shaking your head at that, you swiftly pace over to your kitchen and place a heating pad in the microwave. After a couple of minutes pass by, you take it out.

Stepping back over to the couch, you help Jin into a seating position and assist with tugging off the suit jacket he adorns from his broad shoulders.

“Ow.” He loudly winces when you pull too hard on one arm, and you remorsefully grimace.

“Sorry.”

You manage to yank the article of clothing off, much to Jin’s protests. He lies right down on the heating pad you give him, with it positioned underneath his back. You unfold the blanket you had given him earlier, covering him entirely.

“I think that should be okay for now.” You huff, glancing in his direction. “Are you comfortable, Jin?”

Instead of his voice, silence greets you back. Curiously, you get up and peer over at his face, only to see his eyes fluttered shut and small snores already beginning to leave him.

You softly smile, taking that as his response.

***

A deep breath leaves your lungs.

Your eyes are squeezing shut as your heart races in your chest, fingers trembling.

Opening them up, you let the feeble confidence take over.

You take a step into your kitchen.

The plan was simple – Jin had been dozing off on your couch for a couple of hours. In that time, you had gone to the grocery store and picked up a handful of ingredients, arrived back home and checked on him, and then proceeded to change out of your work clothes and into your pajamas.

Jin hasn’t said anything to you yet, but the tension in movements and the fatigue radiating from his eyes are enough to tell you how well work has been going for him. Coupling that with the spiking pain he’s now having to deal with and the deep slumber he’s plunged in, you made the assumption that he would awaken around when it was time for dinner.

To put it in short and simple words, your plan is to essentially make your boyfriend a nice home cooked meal the moment he wakes up.

Sucking in a harsh inhale, you take out the chicken, broth and rice, hoping to make something that is both filing and delicious.

You first begin to preheat the oven for the chicken, before proceeding with taking out two pans. In one, you heat the broth to make soup and in the second, you put the rice into a pot of oil. After that, you douse the chicken with layers of oil and salt, to then begin cutting giant chunks of vegetables for the soup.

You pause for a moment – heavily considering if perhaps consulting a recipe would be the best in this type of situation.

You wave the thought off, firmly believing that your hard work will be enough.

Sweat gathers at your temples as you focus on cutting pieces from the veggies, dunking them straight into the boiling soup. The oiled and generously salted chicken goes into the oven as the rice soaks up all the oil in an instant.

Two hours pass by like seconds. There’s a giant soup filled with broth and floating with humongous vegetables, and chicken that’s simultaneously flaky but oily. It’s accompanied with crispy rice, something you’re especially proud of.

It’s not long before Jin stirs.

“Hey,” You softly call out from the kitchen, “How are you feeling?”

“Better.” He blinks his sleepy eyes, grasping onto his shoulder. “I still feel the pain, but it’s less intense.”

“That’s good.” Your eyes avert, landing on the meal displayed on the kitchen counter. “Say, do you have a minute?”

He grins, “I always have time for you.”

You recoil at the mushy statement. “I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.”

“You know the normal response is to call something like that romantic, right?” He stands up from the couch and you hurriedly rush over to him, resting your hand on his arm.

“Don’t strain yourself.”

“I’m not, don’t worry.” He chides, eyes landing right on your display. “What’s all this?”

“I…um, cooked for you.” At his inspecting gaze, you look the other way.

“Wait, what?” He looks touched, voice dropping into a whisper. “You cooked for me?”

You shyly nod, feeling squeamish underneath all the attention. His eager eyes are sweeping all over it, as if trying to memorize the food before him.

He takes a pair of chopsticks right away, digging in.

Your irises are large, attached to his words and surveying every hint of emotion that arises in his expression.

He chokes.

You simply watch as he abruptly bursts out into a chain of coughs, before he’s pounding a hand against his chest, as if forcibly trying to keep the food down.

Once he swallows, you blink.

“W-Wow, it has such…unique flavor…”

His tone is too sweet, unlike his regular humorous one.

You deeply sigh, all too familiar with this type of reaction.

"Is it bad?" You quietly ask.

"N-No, of course not!" He accidentally coughs again, clamping a hand against his mouth.

“Jin…” You sincerely whisper, reaching out and holding onto his other hand, "I'd rather you tell me the truth instead of just letting me poison you."

There’s something that flickers in his expression – the realization dawning that you’ve caught on and he can no longer bluff.

He remorsely looks at you.

"So…I can be completely honest?"

"Yes.” You state, encouraging him.

He sucks in a deep breath, and the Jin you’re very familiar with emerges.

"It's horrible.” He states, before a cord finally snaps and he’s unloading everything, “Like really horrible. It tastes like the rice’s been deep fried and the chicken’s been covered with oil and way too much salt. The soup is also so bland, like it barely has flavor–"

"Hold up!" You snap, "Can’t you be a little nice in giving criticism?! I’m not going to just improve overnight!”

He nods, voice dipping into an overly sweet tone, but somehow the deeply rooted sarcastic bits don’t go unnoticed by you.

"Alright, so rice isn't supposed to be crispy and the chicken doesn't need to be salted so much. It also doesn’t need to be cooked for that long so next time, make sure to set a timer. The soup needs more salt and pepper in it, but don't go crazy with it, okay?"

A pout lines your lips, his words actually being kinder and quite informative. “Okay…”

“Good,” He kisses your cheek, hand already lifting the dish. “Now let me handle this.”

“Wait, no!” You spin around, tugging on his shirt. “Jin, I wanted to do this for you. I just can’t have you cooking again, I–”

You grimace, acknowledging that you would just have to profess your shortcomings and simply ask.

“I-I want to learn.”

He raises a brow at that, and you can see it all unfold.

There’s a huge smug smile on his lips. Almost as if he’s aware of the skills he has.

“If you want to learn,” He taunts, crossing his arms and arching up a brow. “You have to say the following – ‘Kim Seokjin is the best cook in the world.’”

“Are you serious?” You snap, “How childish are you?”

He turns around, beginning to clean up the counter and sweeping the dish away. Your hands shoot out immediately, grasping his wrist.

“W-Wait!” You deeply exhale, willing every fibre in your body to not roll your eyes.

Sarcasm weaves in as you repeat his words. “Kim Seokjin… is the best cook in the world.”

Your voice quiets down in the end and Jin leans in.

“Sorry, what was that?”

“Jin!” You whine, and he laughs loudly, squeakiness echoing through the kitchen.

“Okay, I’ll teach you.” He announces. “But listen to me carefully.”

You eagerly nod.

Jin crosses his arms, a heavy gaze to his eyes and a scowl lining his lips.

“You need to measure it out first, Y/N.”

“Measure out the salt and pepper?” You spin around, bewildered by his instructions, “I just dumped it in.”

An annoyed ‘tsk’ leaves him. He scans the contents of the broth, before grabbing a spoon and tasting it.

He cringes.

“Now it’s way too salty.” He offers the spoon to you and your reaction is the same.

A deep exhale leaves you. “I’ll just start over.”

“You don’t need to start over.” He grabs some pepper and a glass of water, “You just need to correct the overseasoning.”

You observe as he pours water and seasons it with pepper, stirring it carefully as it boils. Lowering the heat, he dips the spoon into the mixture and brings it up for you to taste.

You’re stunned. It’s not per say incredible, but it tastes so much better than before.

“Your measurements have to be precise, and that includes your timing too.” He preheats the oven, showcasing the time he was setting it up on, “I think you heated it properly, but you left it in for too long.”

You hum and he moves, filtering around the kitchen as if it was his own.

He brings over a board, knife and vegetables. “We also need to seriously work on your chopping skills.”

Taking up the challenge, you grab an onion and start obliterating the vegetable.

“Woah, woah, hold on!” Jin takes the knife away from you in an instant. He brings it to the board, slowly cutting the vegetable and coming into a natural rhythm with it.

He catches your gaze. “See? Gently. No need to murder the poor onion.”

You scoff as he pauses and hands the knife back.

You attempt to mimic his actions, but he nearly shrieks when a slice of onion goes shooting out and your knife slides against the board.

He latches onto your hand, whispering underneath his breath. “And here I thought no one could be worse than Namjoon…”

You swivel, “What?”

“Nothing!” He sings-songs, chuckling in a high tone. Deciding to come up behind you, Jin’s hands gently reach over to envelope your own shaky ones.

He proceeds to swiftly cut the onion, following a rhythmic motion.

Much to your complete surprise, you’re actually able to cut a few decent chunks. “I-I can’t believe it…”

“It just takes time and practice, Y/N.” Jin smiles, stepping back and letting you continue. He spins around, checking in on the chicken inside the oven.

However, a painful sting abruptly emerges, and you’re forced to set the knife aside.

“Ah–” You rub your eyes, regret filling you in an instant when it burns even more. “Oh my god.”

Jin turns around with a frown at your words, only to see thick tears streaming down your eyes.

He hurriedly abandons the chicken, grabbing onto your hands, “What happened?” His gaze darts all over the cutting board and then back to inspecting your hands, “Did you hurt yourself?”

“No, I just–” You squeeze your eyes tightly, “I-I think it’s something in the air.”

Puzzlement crosses him at that, but then his field of vision lands onto the cut up onion and suddenly everything makes sense.

“Hold on–” He brings you closer to the sink and turns on the faucet. Reaching over, he helps to splash water onto your eyes until the burn finally begins to subside.

The coolness of the water lets you see again, and you blink in disbelief towards him.

“What was that?”

He smiles lop-sidley, “It's what happens when you cut a lot of onion. You have to be careful about them stinging your eyes.”

You’re flabbergasted at the notion. Not only did you not know crucial information about the blasted vegetable, you hadn’t even cut them properly enough to notice.

It all boils up, the tension merely amplifying your frustrations towards cooking.

“This is so hard!” You proclaim, planting a hand against your temples, “How am I supposed to know all this when I’ve never done it before?”

You huff and Jin leans back, attempting to hold back the amused smile on his lips. He doesn’t do a great job though, and you’re glancing at him perplexed from the reason, but then it dawns on you–

He’s smiling like the once very annoying intern he was.

“It’s okay.” He tenderly pats your back, a presumptuous grin on his features. “I still think you can do it.”

You loudly scoff as he snickers.

***

The hours churn by easily and with Jin’s much needed assistance, you are successfully able to cook the chicken and create a broth that doesn’t want to make your insides recoil. He ends up cooking the rice, deep distrust running through him when you genuinely thought cooking it in oil was the right way to go. However, you observed the way he carefully shimmers it in water until it’s completely soft.

There’s an entire meal presented in front of you and he flops down onto a chair near the kitchen counter, long overdue for his back to act up again.

“Wow.”

You whisper, staring at it all in amazement.

Glancing over, Jin grimaces a bit and you smile gratefully. “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

“I still mean what I said before, you know?” You sway side to side sheepishly, “Cooking isn’t easy, but it’s a good skill to have.”

Jin softly grins at that and you curiously take a bite, eyes widening.

“It tastes so much better!”

“See what happens when you don’t drown stuff in salt and oil?” He teases and you chuckle, “Now next time, make me something like this instead of trying to kill me.”

“I was not trying to kill you.”

“Are you so sure about that?” He glances at the previous dish, the crispy rice meeting his gaze.

He raises a brow and you stare at him silently – before the two of you are bursting out in laughter.

The door to your apartment widens.

Yuna stands by it, throwing intrigued glances at the sounds resonating from the kitchen. She walks in to see you standing by the counter with Jin seated on a chair facing you, alongside the entire buffet displayed on the counter.

At the sound of her footsteps, you swivel. “Yuna!”

You embrace her and she looks around, “What happened here?”

“I cooked!” A shudder runs through her spine immediately, and you quickly try to ease her thoughts, “It wasn’t just me though, Jin helped too!”

Curiosity runs through her at that and you spin around, filling up a plate for her. Yuna sets her bag down, sitting on a chair next to Jin.

“How was school?” He questions, her eyes brightening up.

“It was fun, we’re working on our next play now.”

“I look forward to seeing it.” He grins, and she smiles back at him. There’s a plate of food landing in front of her, and she pokes her fork at it in wonder.

You tightly grasp onto Jin’s hand, breath hitching as you watch her raise the spoon to her lips. As she slowly chews, your heartbeat seems to grow louder and louder.

A deep frown crosses her features – making you tense, but then it’s replaced with utter confusion, and she stares back at the plate you’ve given her.

It’s when she goes for another bite that you freeze.

“I-It’s good…” She whispers, as if she was suspended in disbelief. Her gaze lifts, staring at you in awe.

“It is?” You question in astonishment, despite having already tasted it yourself.

Yuna nods, before breaking out into a wide smile.

You are absolutely ecstatic, watching her eagerly go for more bites and humming in content.

Jin practically yelps when he’s tackled into a hug, surprise flickering onto his features to see your arms wrapped around him.

Although he slightly winces from the sudden weight, he merely just chuckles and hugs you back.

So I stayed up until like four last night writing down the lyrics for the Circe Saga because it’s incredible and Spotify didn’t have lyrics yet but since tumblr doesn’t want me to post pics rn for some reason I’ll just try again later and instead talk about the songs!!! :D

Puppeteer- The intro instrumental lives in my head to rent and so does Eurylochus’s rap part, I need to know what he was going to tell Odysseus he sounded so vulnerable- I swear this guy is climbing up my favorite characters list, I do find it interesting how he wanted to leave the crew behind with Circe when later in Mutiny he confronted Odysseus for “trading the lives of his crew” in order to get home so hopefully that means he had a change and heart and wasn’t just being a hypocrite, I also love how the Circe Saga as a whole but especially Puppeteer and There Are Other Ways really highlight how terrible Odysseus feels about everything he’s done, everyone he’s failed or killed since leaving home, I need to know how he goes from hating himself to embracing all he’s done

Uhh favorite lines!

“Look at all we’ve lost and all we’ve learned, Every single cost is so much more than what we’ve earned” SING IT Eurylochus

Wouldn’t You Like- HEHEHEH I absolutely adore the synthwave-y aspects of the song I’m a huge lover of synthwave vibes as of recent, I would genuinely vibe to the instrumental all day long, Mr. Jalapeño release the instrumental versions pLplzplz 🙏, I’m sure we all know by know that Troy is the real Hermes there’s no other way he can bring THAT much charisma to the role, I’ve seen charisma before but never like that oh my god, I also love his unhinged laugh so much idk how he does it but I want to learn, also when I was writing the lyrics I had to stop for a sec and be like “is this song just Hermes giving his great grandson drugs ooor-“ because that’s 100% something he would do

Favorite lines…

Just the entire “Here in the root of this flower, There lies such a power, To take her on” segment of the song it’s just 👌

Also the part where he’s going OOOhoOhohAhahdph while the ensemble sings his verses his voice is so BEAUTIFUL and POWERFUL oh my GOD

“Don’t thank me friend! You very well may die” I chuckled so loud lmao

And his little “Good luck 😉” he’s so silly he knows shit is going to go down

Done For- okay was the lyric for this song always “I just ate a flower, one that claims your power” cuz I could have sworn it was drains your power but I might just be crazy, also chimera supremacy I love that Jorge was able to find a way to implement it, Jorge and Talya’s voices sound so great together I need more 😭, I also love that this song starts to hint at more depth behind Circe’s actions idk who out here thinks she’s a meh one-note/one-off villain but she’s not!! I’ll make a 50 page PowerPoint on this don’t test me!!

Fav lines…

“You’ve lost.” Okay Odysseus 🤡

“My nymphs are like my daughters, I protect them at all costs, The last time we let strangers live, We faced a heavy loss.” This!! This is what I’m saying she feels like she has no choice other than to hurt people so that the people she loves will stay safe, she’s literally Odysseus further down the line! it’s so fascinating to see a character like this facing off against the main protagonist bc at this point in the story we don’t know what kind of person he will become yet and yet Jorge shows us with Circe Ahdldhnsbdk

There Are Other Ways- Okay I’ll be honest, this song was the last one on my radar not bc I didn’t like it but because I was just looking forward to others so much more and it was also the one I intentionally heard less clips of because I wanted at least one song that I didn’t already know half of the lyrics to 💀 ANYWAY THIS ONE IS THE BEST SONG IN THE CIRCE SAGA CHANGE MY MIND (I’m so sorry Troy I love your voice but this song is simply better) Dude the lyrics go soso hard in this one, I’m such a sucker for one character having like a big emotional moment while another is like singing/backing them up in the background and there’s so much of that here, and the call backs? Both to earlier songs in the saga AND Just A Man, my favorite song Just A Man? Every call back to that song is just so RAW I LOVE IT, I don’t know a ton about Greek mythology outside of Epic so I dont know if Circe and Posideon have this past beef or something but I do find it interesting that it’s only after he is mentioned that Circe decides to help Odysseus but I also think it’s larger due to how he reminds her of herself with how he misses Penelope, UM THE BEAT DROP after the underworld is mentioned for the first time??? CHILLS SHIVERS EVERYTHING dude I love how the entire atmosphere changes so much because yes this could be Odysseus’ only change to make it home safely but it’s also so much more dangerous than the shitty situation they’re already in so there’s not even time for relief or a breath of air like he’s IN it now there’s no going back

Best lyrics omfg…

“There are other roads to the soul~” Talya, Tayla. This is why some of us can’t sing, the universe needs balance and you are the only explanation for that

“Want to save your men from the fire? Show me that you’re willing to burn” 😐 AAAAAH

“But there’s no puppet here” get it puppeteer? Puppet here? I thought it was clever lol

“Back at home, my wife awaits for me, She’s my everything, My Penelope” The yearning in his voice made me feel things

“So I beg you Circe, Grant us mercy, And let us puppets leeeeave~” We have literally never seen Odysseus use this sort of tactic before to get his way but I genuinely think he’s being genuine here, no play, he only wants to see his wife and son again, he’s so close to giving up hope, he’s losing his spirit, he’s searching for any sliver of help even from a women who wants him dead

“I know of a brilliant prophet… Problem is that prophets dead.” Again the cord or piano key I think it was was so AH SO GOOD AH I am foaming at the mouth for when we start getting teasers for the Underworld Saga

“Maybe showing one act of kindness, Leads to kinder souls down the road” someone make an au where Polities and Circe become besties she needs a friend like him but don’t we all, but seriously THIS is what I’m saying!! She is future Odysseus! Only difference being is that she’s so tired of hurting people at this point she decides to take a chance and give help rather than pain in the hopes that it will somehow contribute to a kinder world

“Maybe one day the world, Will need a puppeteer no more” this is her plea for help, she yearns for the day where she won’t need to be a monster in order to protect her nymphs, for Odysseus his plea was for him and his men to leave, they both showed such vulnerability in this song in different ways its ART ITS ART *gun shot*

“I have been in love once before” She even had her own Penelope guys, this is the true reason why she decided to help Odysseus methinks

Okay uhhh I think that’s it ^_^ Circe Saga rules, it might be my fav saga I’ll decide soon

#epic the musical #epic the circe saga #epic the troy saga #epic odysseus #epic polites #epic circe #epic eurylochus #disclaimer for BANGER SONGS #okay I should probably close my eyes or something I’m running in a solid two hours #Circe saga is more important than sleep lmao

can you write something where the reader is not a rap listener? like when she and jack met she had no idea who he was💀💀 and now after they’ve been dating jack talks about her “she a 10 but she doesn’t even listen to her boyfriends music” or moments where they argue in the car ablut what music to play🤪🤪

She’s a 10 but.. ( little concept )

“She’s a 10 but doesn’t listen to any of her boyfriends music.” You flipped Jack off as he and everyone else around the two of you laughed. I mean he wasn’t wrong you never really liked rap and when you met Jack you didn’t even know who he was which surprised him.

“How do you not enjoy rap it’s literally the best type of music out there especially with all the different flows and shit.” Druski laughed and you rolled your eyes which Jack peeped he smiled and grabbed your hand squeezing it.

“Aww don’t be getting all grumpy and shit now ma we’re just messing with you ma.” You smirked knowing Jack hated when you played your little country music or anything that wasn’t rap.

“I’ll forgive you both if I get to play some Carrie Underwood.” Jack and Druski’s jaw dropped to the floor there was no way you were about to play country music for this four hour car drive.

“No way we aren’t about to play Carrie Underwood for the next four hours I’m sorry Jack but you gotta put that foot down.” You pouted at Jack and he shook his hands nervously and gulped he hated saying no to you and everyone knew that, when it came to you Jack was a sucker and saying no wasn’t in his dictionary.

“Fuck fine alright you can play your music baby but only a few songs then we’re playing music we want.” You smiled and hit shuffle on your Carrie Underwood playlist before singing along to Before He Cheats with Urban to which Druski and Jack looked at him with their eyebrows furrowed.

“What can I say this shit is catchy as hell. I dug my key into the side of his pretty black four wheel drive carved my name into his leather seatsssss.” Urban sang along with You making you giggle and Jack smiled softly at you before turning his attention back into Druski who wasn’t too thrilled.

“She’s having a good time and that’s all I care about you just gotta love her.” He shrugged and closed his eyes as Druski moaned and groaned the entire car ride to California. Eventually Druski got tired of being a grinch and ended up enjoying your music with you.

The feeling of having the world in the palm of your hands

[Sakura:]

A blood-stained crown rests on my brow

Who are you to give me a command?

[Death Row Block:]

Death Row Block!

[Akihisa:]

Call it a desire for vengeance and strife

But I still have more to do before heading to the afterlife

The life of a medic isn't for the faint of heart

You’ll find that it's a constant uphill battle!

[Wicked Requiem:]

Deadly song!

I can see it in your eyes that you’re afraid

Fear not I’ll sing your final serenade

[Kaoru:]

Even if I pray to the Muses for guidance

It's to the goddess Athena whom I dedicate my win

[Kanra:]

Inhumanly born from the deepest pits of hell

The masses would call my existence a sin

[Silent Tragedy:]

Fierce blade!

[Kanon:]

Begging for mercy from a maniac?

Fool, my heart has long since turned pitch black

[Reika:]

How can you say I'm horrible for being evil?

At least I do it with stone-cold style

[Sakura:]

Locked and loaded with my finger on the trigger

I'll gladly put a bullet in your head with a smile

[Death Row Block:]

Execution!

[Akihisa:]

Opposing us is the quickest way to die

Perhaps you ought to say your final goodbyes

[Touya:]

Just the sight of you gets me all hot and bothered

Come on, let's go a few rounds

[Rintaro:]

Think you can run the fuck away?

I’m hot on your heels like a hellhound!

[Valor Guard:]

Duty bound!

[Seiji:]

A warning for all there is very little I fear

Especially when dealing with threats to all I hold dear

[Lyall:]

With eyes that see everything like an owl

I’ll catch you even during the darkest nights

[Ayumu:]

Even when everyone else has long given up

I'll keep on going with all my might

[Fatal Four:]

Hypnosis action ends corruption

Gimmicks that burn synapses

Nobody can stop this now

Ignition!

Now we invite you to catharsis

Rhyming all over the place

Carving into history

With this Division Rap Battle!

[Kaoru:]

Mind racing faster than you can comprehend

Even now it's plotting your bitter end!

[Reika:]

Even decked out head to toe in jewels

I’ll destroy anyone who tries to overthrow my rule!

[Touya:]

Seems like you’re someone no one will miss

How about I seal your fate with a kiss?

[Lyall:]

Hidden like the dark side of the moon

Your doom approaches soon!

[Kanra:]

I’m quick to anger and, with my strength enough said

So careful, or else you’ll end up dead!

[Sakura:]

Don't even think about trying to be brave

You'll only just dig your own grave!

[Rintaro:]

A battle between divisions, call it a nuclear winter!

Leaving nothing but ash and cinder!

[Ayumu:]

I might be here to heal

But that doesn't mean I'll kneel!

[Yuriko:]

That's it I’m done playing nice

It's time I leave you in agonizing pain!

[Kanon:]

A verbal barrage rains upon the psyche

Let's see you undo the damage to your brain!

[Akihisa:]

This is our reality now

One where words have all the power!

[Seiji:]

Opponents stand all around

The Division Rap Battles are no place to cower!

[Fatal Four:]

Hypnosis action ends corruption

Lyrics that kick away verses

The Nautilus dives, invading the brain

Ignition!

Even if what results from this endless game

Is the end of the world

We'll keep resisting

With this Division Rap Battle!

Lol- I'm just imagining El being VERY confused at first at how often the residents of Hell just, burst into song. Because seriously, with how many songs there are in Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, it's entirely possible that Hell just, has some weird energy thing that encourages singing to happen.

Literally, she’s gonna be bopping along to each song and recording it once she gets used to it. 🤣

She’s gonna have a PLAYLIST labeled: “Charlie’s best hits” and shares them with Lucifer so he can listen to his daughter’s singing whenever he’s having a bad day- which, with his depression and how he’s only living for his daughter, is probably pretty often.

Charlie is probably gonna try and encourage El to sing but it just. Doesn’t work. She’s so bad at coming up with lyrics on the spot. The one time she gets a good rhyme out Charlie is CRYING tears of joy and Lucifer is just like, “There’s hope for you yet!”

It’s be so freaking funny if Luci tries to sing to El but she just. Awkwardly dances along because she doesn’t have the song magic/isn’t affected by it since she’s Human. Lilith’s song power failed to reach her haha. She might just start singing songs she actually knows since she can’t magically bust out rhymes. El is doing her best, lol.

Edit: El and Luci meet because Charlie calls to let him know there’s a human in Hell, and Charlie is trying to encourage El to sing what happened- but it just ends up being this really sad excuse of a rap.

“There was a demon and I was screaming, and- Char, this isn’t working. I can’t do this.”

Charlie: “No no, you’re doing great! Keep it up! I’ll be backup vocals!”

“Charlieeeee!”

Lucifer, waving a hand: “No, it’s okay. Take your time. My daughter wants you to sing. SING.”

K-pop Discography Deep Dives: BTS (Part ONE)

A Disclaimer: I was planning, when I first started Tumblr, to be a lurker, but then I began an office job and needed something to listen to to keep myself occupied. And then, I started going through entire K-pop groups’ repertoires, album by album, and jotting down my thoughts. And then, I stumbled into K-pop tumblr and decided, you know what, there’s at least four people on this hell site who would read in depth rants about these discographies and at least five who wouldn’t read it and then get mad because it’s kind of our job as K-pop fans. My lukewarm takes should be taken with an entire silo of salt and the knowledge that this is completely for fun and occupying my very bored, very neurodivergent brain. All this to say, for the love of god, I’m a sleep-deprived student and I don’t have time for internet hate, so don’t kill me. With that being said, enjoy!

So, my credentials: I’ve got nothing this time, folks. I’m not an Army; I’m too casual to even be a casual fan. I like most of what I’ve heard, based on friend recommendations, but I have no idea how representative of their work the songs I’ve heard are. I know the group members’ names, but barely anything about them, although I’m always open to learning more. The reason I wanted to do this deep dive is because I’ve been a k-pop fan for almost five years now and I’ve heard every opinion between “BTS is the second coming of Christ” and “BTS is responsible for the collapse of society,” and I want to make up my own mind, free of influence.

Since BTS has over 200 songs, I’m also doing short supplementals each week, both to give myself and you guys a break and to look at groups / soloists with discographies too short to need a full week (because this is gonna be a dissertation and I’ll have to separate it into two parts). So, grab your lightstick, get some ice cream, steal a fluffy dog, and settle in folks. Let’s do this.

BTS, as you probably know, is short for Bangtan Sonyeondan, or Bulletproof Boy Scouts, and debuted in 2013 (they just had their tenth debut anniversary) and they have seven members: Jimin, Namjoon (RM), Taehyung (V), Jin, Yoongi (SUGA), Jungkook, and Hoseok (J-hope).

First things first, I love a good intro, and the loudspeaker is funny; 2 cool 4 skool is not what I was expecting. I’m not the biggest fan of “I’m too cool for you” hip-hop personally, but I can respect We Are Bulletproof (p.2) for the fact that the message doesn’t feel empty. I believe what they’re selling, even if I don’t want to buy it. To be honest, I’m a singer, and I listen to artists to hear their singing voices, because I know that they can sing beautifully.

On the album I’m much more a fan of Like, although I prefer the slow mix from their later work. The rest of the first album gave me a bit of whiplash to be honest, but I can appreciate how unique it is, both in k-pop and music as a whole. The skits are very odd, but they did make me feel like I know more about the members than I would about an average k-pop group from their album; I can see why so many people became fans early on.

On O! R U L8 2?, N.O. immediately caught my attention with the interesting instrumental and the sing-talk and singing combo. I did enjoy it more than We Are Bulletproof, because of the melody, but I liked it, didn’t love it. (I could’ve done without the growling). Most of the b-sides aren’t for me, but I do want to talk about Coffee and Paldongangsan.

I did like Coffee (especially the harmonizing on the Baby~~ part of the chorus) but I really didn’t like the rap verses. I don’t have anything against them being there in theory; raps can be done in a quiet, calm way (like in “Child” by Mark from NCT), but it’s not happening here and they feel very out of place. It’s all well and good to rap excellently, but you need to have some variety or else everything threatens to feel the same.

But, my hidden gem from this album is definitely Paldongangsan. Look, one of my majors is linguistics, so it’s no surprise I went wild at this song. It’s about the different dialects of Korean (which originate from different places there) and the stereotypes associated with each one, and it ends with Namjoon yelling at the rest of them to stop ragging on each other for their dialects and be accepting because it’s all the same language anyway. It was actually the first BTS song I heard, about two years ago (barring Dynamite, of course), because an Army friend of mine recommended it to me. I’ve never heard a song like it before (or since for that matter) and it’s remained on my Top 25 K-pop songs playlist ever since.

Anyway, digression over, and onto the next album, Skool Luv Affair. Boy In Luv is definitely a turning point in their discography, with its drive and rock elements. I wish it was more melodic, as I always do, but it grew on me after a couple more listens and it's my favorite of the title tracks so far. Hidden gems for this album are Just One Day and especially Outro: Propose (which I wish wasn’t so short, because I thought it was pretty good.)

With Dark & Wild we turn another corner. Danger intrigued me from the first part’s guitar riff and interesting instrumental. Although I was a bit wary, the set-up of the pre-chorus, pay-off of the chorus, and earworm of the post-chorus reassured me. It’s the first single from this deep dive that I’ve liked on 1st listen. (The “don’t get me confused” is stuck in my head now.)

War Of Hormone arrives with a record scratch and a bombast of horns. And arrives is the right word: it makes its presence known. I really enjoyed this one, and I even replayed it a few times. At its best moments, it mixes very different parts together without feeling like whiplash and becomes anthemic. I especially love the contrast between Namjoon’s scratchier, lower voice and Jungkook’s higher notes, and of course, harmonizing, my one true love. It’s a bit of a dumb song but they don’t take it too seriously and I appreciate that they aren’t afraid to laugh.

This album was also a turning point for me when it came to my enjoyment of their work; I didn’t really dislike any song on it and the better balance of rapping, sing-talk, and singing made me less reactionary towards the raps that were there. There’s more variety in the raps themselves too: sometimes they’re upbeat, sometimes they’re pensive, sometimes they’re angry, but they don’t all sound like they’re trying to kill me through my earbuds. Improvement! Also, showing some vulnerability helps balance the more boastful songs that are there, so I disliked those less too.

Yes, I’m fully aware that their rapping is technically very good, I just don’t always enjoy it. I appreciate songs like Hip Hop Phile and their meanings, but appreciation still can’t make you like something that you don’t like. As for what I did like, my hidden gems for this album were Let Me Know (which finally lets them sing and be open with their feelings), Could You Turn Off Your Cellphone (harmonizing again), and Look Here (very odd but I enjoy the horns).

I Need U is surprisingly calm in its intro and is very much poppier than the last few title tracks have been, with more of an anguished edge than a youthful “I’m cooler than you” edge, which I appreciated. I liked this one. It’s much better at balancing the harmonizing with rap and the instrumental (which is very interesting, by the way) than the previous songs, and I can see how it sets them on the path after that leads to their more melancholy and contemplative title tracks further down the line.

Run works as a good foil; it’s pretty upbeat, which does make sense given that it’s (somewhat) a love song. I love the way the chorus surges forward and even though it’s poppier than the others, it doesn’t feel like they’ve lost their identity. It still feels like a BTS song, basically. It’ll probably be making an appearance on my gym playlist, which is never a bad thing.

As a side note, I love that so many of their songs embrace the idea of full pre-choruses, choruses, and post-choruses, because it makes each track feel more intentional and lived in, not like they’re trying to fill space on an album or have empty space. In the k-pop songs that are on my top 25 (of which two are BTS), this holds true for the vast majority of them.

Dope is a song that, like War Of Hormone, feels like it arrives, not begins, with its “Ladies and gentlemen”, and I love the build-up that it has leading to the chorus. But…it just doesn’t have enough payoff to that build-up for me, with an empty, shouty chorus and more lyrics about how great they are. I know a lot of people love it, but it has too many of my pet peeves to get past. Sorry, guys.

In the same vein, I should like Fire. I love an explosion of a chorus and I adore a song about burning down the system as much as the next witch. I love the lyrics, and I think that pre-choruses are good and the bridge especially is great. But I don’t like this song. At all. It comes dangerously close to grating one too many times for me, and embraces all of the worst aspects of their early material with none of the charm that had me chuckling with, not at, the first few albums. I’ve mentioned many times how much I hate an anti-drop and this song does absolutely nothing to change my mind. I expect the cursing to the heavens to come in in about 3…2…1…

Save Me is the last single from the album, and the most similar to the BTS songs I’ve heard before: ethereal, wispy, ruminating, and with a soft electronic background. I do like this one, although I wish the last chorus had more of an end (like I was a bit confused when the next song started) and I wish the main rap was a bit calmer to fit with the rest of the song. It’s at its best when it allows their voices to just be and meld with each other.

I have one main hidden gem for this album, which is Butterfly. It’s no surprise that I love this one with how insane I am about harmonizing and vulnerability, but I really do love it. I feel like this should’ve been a single instead of Save Me, to be honest. All of the main gripes I have with it are remedied here: the chorus is fuller, the ending feels earned, and the raps are just calmer enough that they don’t stick out like a sore thumb. I also appreciated Taehyung’s voice more than I have in the past, and I’m glad for him in the chorus.

Also, speaking of vulnerability, I also, somewhat surprisingly, like the intro of the Most Beautiful Moment In Life, although I didn’t plan to on first listen. I appreciate that this song doesn’t try to paint them as above the world or better than anyone, but embraces the genuine emotion that they’re so good at conveying. It’s such a raw expression of exhaustion that I felt sympathy even before I looked up the words, which is pretty damn powerful.

And….breathe. Would it surprise you to learn that we’re only in mid 2016? Yeah, yeah, me too, kid. This is where Part 1 ends, I do my Supplemental for the week tomorrow (a boy group who I highly doubt you’ve heard of), and we all go touch some grass and eat some Doritos. K? K.

I’ll see you next week, for both Part 2 of this odyssey and a girl group supplemental!

masterlist

sorry, it’s been on my mind for awhile. there’s just something about it that’s so addictive to me

he first heard your name when on coruscant. it was unusual to be a musician in this universe. most aimed for their occupation to be something “useful” like a jedi or mechanic. something to aid the progression of society. but having someone to lighten their spirits was something else entirely. you were unique. an anomaly in the universe of “star wars”.

there were musicians, he supposed. he hadn’t been to many taverns that didn’t have a few musicians strumming away or tooting on a wind instrument to an upbeat tune.

you were something else. someone singing and writing songs was a wild notion. you write from your heart and sing in ways that broke someone’s heart when you sang sadly and had their face grow warm when you sang of love.

being a jedi master brought some incredible perks. one of them, as he soon discovered, was meeting someone like you. it wasn’t the easiest thing in the world, but it took less time than it would take most for him to view one of your shows for himself. it seems that tickets for your show were hard to obtain.

whether you rapped or sang softly or somewhere in between, you were captivating. he couldn’t keep his eyes off you.

feeling eyes on you during your set was normal. after all, you were performing. people were supposed to look at you. but this show was different. something about their gaze felt smothering. when you glanced up and out at the crowd after turning from your band behind you, you caught the eyes of a certain brunette in the crowd.

you looked him up and down, clearly checking him out. you knew you were far enough away he shouldn’t have been able to see your eyes traveling all over him, but you felt like somehow he could tell. shrugging it off, you tossing him a wink and a smile, continuing with your show.

i’ll probably make a part two because i am completely obsessed with him right now, but i wanted to get this out

7 Things

🌸🕺🏻🥊💟🩲🫦👖

(My thoughts are scattered lately so here are seven strays, if anyone actually reads this lmk your thoughts!)

🌸 1. Was listening to Wild Flower and was reminded once again how much I wish Jimin could have sung the chorus 🤣 I totally get why he didn’t, I get that it was RM’s thing, and it’s really cool how many different artists he was able to collab with for Indigo. I just can totally hear Jimin belting in his indie-girl voice when I hear youjeen and it makes me wistful. I know I’m not the only one.

🕺🏻2. Speaking of indie-girl voice, I’m trying to manage expectations for JM’s album but I love his voice and vibe so much I’m having a hard time tempering my excitement. I’m sorta hoping for some sort of fusion of Prince, FINNEAS, the song Promise and Jimin’s verse in Vibe 😅 but also, I’m looking forward to being surprised. What about y’all?

🥊 3. I’m cracking up, Jimin is still shameless. Out there for everyone to see talking that flirty shit all “Keep growing and protect hyung 🥺”, bitch —

💟 This might piss people off, but 4. I had kind of written off Dreamers after listening to it a few good times when it first came out. It was okay to me, but just that. Okay. After watching the Bangtan Bomb for Dreamers I’m way more into the song, and can I just say — that is Big Hit’s entire marketing scheme in a nutshell and I can’t stress that enough. I’m even aware of it, and it still works like a charm on me. Cause like, that second verse of Dreamers is almost objectively bad. The weird rap-sing combo with meaningless lyrics that does absolutely nothing to support the lofty beauty of the chorus. And that’s not Jung Kook’s fault, he didn’t write it, but imo, it’s still a pretty mediocre submission to the world history of recorded music. But seeing JK in the studio stressing and poring over the sheets and doing his best and learning the choreo and working his ass off makes me listen to it with rose-colored… eardrums (bad metaphor sorry) and next thing I know I’m jamming to it while I clean the kitchen, singing along to that second verse like it’s poetry. So it’s as a good a time as any to remember that while BTS does in fact make good music, sometimes very good music, not all of it is equally good* — and some of it is very close to being not good at all — but we are conditioned to like it anyways because we love the seven men who are making it. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Just… you know. We should probably recognize it, at least occasionally. *I realize Dreamers isn’t a BTS song, but the same applies to certain ones they’ve made/collaborated on. Thoughts?

🩲5. Are we all ready to accept that JK is not going to be the next face of CK? Lol. I guess it could still happen, but I sort of began to doubt it when my boy was downing beer and scarfing chicken two nights in a row. We know that ain’t the way he eats when he has a photoshoot coming up, lol. Even if it wasn’t Jung Kook, CK still got themselves an itty bitty waist big eyed beauty though, so I’ll be respectfully enjoying myself some Jennie in her underwear for the time being 😘

The last two are song recs:

🫦 6. Trigger, Seori. From 2020.

Or do you wanna bite my lips and taste my blood? Come be dirty with me.

*shivers in bisexual*

👖7. Hurt, New Jeans.

Not as depressing as the title makes it sound!

If you made it this far, I need song/musician recs too. Send me some?

Until next time ✌️

Tangled the Series spoilers and ranting about Varian

One reason I think Varian’s redemption worked so much better than Cassandra’s is that he actually HAD a redemption. Cass just kinda… stopped? But Varian showed that this did affect him in deeper ways than just his own city suddenly hating him even more than they did before. His emotional turmoil was evident in the writing of the show, as shown in Nothing Left to Lose and even beyond, with the events of the finale. He went through so much trying to make up for what he did wrong, and the entire time his character plays on the sympathy of the fans, showing that he really was just a desperate kid lashing out because of what seemed like a hopeless situation.

Cassandra however, just sort of… became a villain? Like yes, I know, she was tired of being in Rapunzel’s shadow for so many years, and I know, she hates her because she blames Rapunzel for Gothel’s neglect and abandonment, but it just didn’t seem valid. Raps was KIDNAPPED. And I’m aware that Cass was manipulated by the Zhan Tiri, but even after she found out the truth, she didn’t start down the right path again. She just… kept pushing. And it didn’t help that Cassandra’s moonstone arc wasn’t exactly the greatest pairing to an already subpar twist. Also she kidnaps a child and drugs him? What the hell? I’m not gonna even BEGIN to go into how she did SO MUCH MORE DESTRUCTION THAN VARIAN and yet HE, WHO IS A CHILD, WENT TO JAIL WHILE CASSANDRA WENT ON AN ADVENTURE??? But anyways-

With Varian, you get to see how torn up he really is. I mean, Ready as I’ll Ever Be is pretty much him singing about how resorting to villainy was his only option. Nothing Left to Lose is him telling Cass about how much his actions scarred him and the people he loves. There’s buildup, there’s emotion, there’s the moment where he snaps, there’s grief and trauma and sympathy and all the things that makes a redemption successful. Cassandra was not portrayed in a way that allowed for much oomph. In my opinion the only redeeming quality about her arc was the initial betrayal, because you could feel the emotion in the air. The electricity. And tension. Also loved the scenes with the mindtrap.

In conclusion instead of doing homework I choose to explain why Varian is my favorite character and is superior to Cass in every way thank you

Peak Time - (Episodes 1&2)

I like it, I like it a lot. That’s it, really. The whole idea behind it is amazing really and for one I’m really glad that this isn’t an Mnet show. I feel like Mnet, being Mnet, would try to create some sort of rivalry between the groups. I don’t think JTBC will do that, at least considering what I remember of Mix Nine but I can be wrong, it’s been so many years lol. Also the judges are good ones. I personally don’t like Jay Park but this show might change it, idk? Kyuhyun on the other hand… Really starting to dislike him.

I’ll mention only the performances I liked because there were too many to go through them all. There’s really no specific order to this, but I did like some of them more than others

Team 20:00 (M.O.N.T) – Fever

They made me forget that this is, originally, a JYP song. That’s show good they were. And they didn’t have a whole of dancing and there’s only 2 of them and they managed to make it feel it was their concert. I remember them from Mix Nine and this is a huge jump from that. I’m curious to see how they move forward and how will they be able to tackle other types of music. They seemed to be really in their element on this.

Team 11:00 (Vanner) – Adore U

First off, their story? Amazing, they deserve the world, they just really want to perform, doesn’t matter what they have to do on the side to be able to do so. And their performance? Sooooo good. It takes good vocalists to cover good vocalists and I believe they did a fantastic job. I’m already following them everywhere

Team 8:00 (DKB) – The Real

In this song, more than in others, there’s this energy that’s very specific to Ateez, it’s related to them as people and how they behave. To me, DKB managed to emulate that very well in this performance. They had fun throughout the entire thing and you could see it in their faces. It made me tear up a little bit when they were getting praised and the leader (?) was holding back his tears.

Team 23:00 (DGNA) – Mirotic

As expected, 2nd gen really hits different. Everything about this performance was magnificent, I can’t even really express how good it really was. The hold this song has on me it’s not even funny and the fact that these guys came out singing like that, no backtrack, vocals for days, so powerful all three of them and really dancing is insane. The other groups were so surprised to see them sing like that and I just was so happy, smiling and singing along the whole time.

Team 02:00 (NTX) – No Mercy

This was really good, to me the least expected song. I really liked it and there isn’t a whole lot to comment on it. I know that they’ve been getting some negative feedback from knets, because they dissed 4th gen during the rap verse but honestly? Who cares? Let’s start with the fact that they are, indeed, part of 4th gen and really a lot of the groups tend to focus on visuals and dancing more than anything else, sometimes it feels like watching a dance group that happens to have mics attached to their faces. So yeah, good job to them. (Also, imagine how crazy it is to perform to a song in a competition like this and then have the original singer come out as a contestant.)

Team 14:00 (GHOST9) – Never Ever

I like it, it wasn’t perfect at times, but overall very good. I’m surprised that they had to stay on hold for the judges to decide whether or not they would be able to move to the next round. To me they performed better than Bae143 and ATBO, who passed by the amount of votes imediatly (which don’t take me as reference because I usually hate when people cover exo or any song sang by exo members so). I was really surprised to seem them perform as just 5 and the fact that they had to rearrange the entire performance in day and still managed to do a decent job is really impressive. The guy rapping was screaming a little too much, I’m not sure if he was trying to emulate Jackson’s tone or if he had to take on a part that wasn’t originally his

Heedo – Soloist – Back Door

I’ve been a fan of his for some years now so I’m happy that he got to come out and participate. This performance was really good and really complete, he’s a good rapper and his singing voice is really good too.

Jong Up – Soloist – Anyone

I never expected to see him come to a show like this. My friend, who likes him a lot, said he was doing fine on his own so she doesn’t understand why he came out like this and why he said that B.A.P wanted to come as group. Regardless of that, his performance was really good and it really is different to see a man, man, dancing.

Byeong Ju – Soloist – 4 Walls

Let me tell that this a hard song and he was really good. I don’t have a whole lot to say so yeah, amazing, loved it.

------

I hated how JTBC didn’t announce during the show which groups would be through, out of those who were on hold, and the soloists who would make it into team 24:00. “Go to the site”? You couldn’t have spared 10 minutes to announce that while the show was airing? A terrible move if you ask me. Either way, out of the 15 groups in the show, I’ll be watching these 7 more as we move forward, but who knows, it might change.

Compared to Boys Planet, I like this one more, as the nature of the show is to push already formed groups closer to their dream. Regardless of who wins, I hope they find success.

#peak time #peaktime jtbc #peak time jtbc #DKB #Vanner #Byeong Ju #Jong Up #B.A.P #toppdogs #heedo #ghost9 #DGNA #m.o.n.t #ntx

Painted Palms

((Ler Rapunzel and Lee Varian. Shippers DNI))

Varian walked to Rapunzel’s room and knocked. He and the Queen finally both had some free time away from their duties and had decided a quiet afternoon of art and pleasant conversation was exactly what they needed.

“Come in!” Came the sing song lilt of Rapunzel’s voice. Smiling, Varian opened the door and walked in.

“Hey, Raps.”

“Varian! So glad you could make it! Come on over! Have a seat!” Following her over, the alchemist settled himself on a plush bench next to Rapunzel.

“So, what are you working on lately Rapunzel? Any big mural ideas?”

Groaning, the Queen shook her head.

“Don’t ask me that! I just got an art block! I’m trying to push through it, but the last time I got art block, I almost released a demon art teacher from the Netherworld!”

Blinking at his friend, Varian tilted his head.

“I will admit, that is not what I expected you to say.”

“It’s a very long story.”

“Longer than defeating Zhan Tiri with the power of friendship?”

“Hey, it was more than that mister! Need I remind you that you were also there? And I saved your life and the kingdom?” Rapunzel retorted reaching over and tweaking Varian’s side making him flinch away with a squeak.

“Yeah yeah, whatever. Is there anything I can do to help with your art block?” The boy offered once he was certain that he wasn’t going to be wrecked at that moment.

Rapunzel hummed and stroked her chin in thought.

“You know, there is something that might help actually.”

Varian cocked his head with a smile.

“Name your price. I am at your service, my Queen.” He flourished this response with an overly dramatic bow, to which Rapunzel rolled her eyes.

“Very funny. But seriously can you listen?”

“I’m all ears Raps.” Smiling, Rapunzel continued.

“Can I paint your hands?”

“What?”

“I asked if I could paint your hands. You wear your gloves all the time, and I thought some colors might help. Besides, you really should take them off once and awhile and clean them.”

Varian sat back and thought for a bit before shrugging,

“I don’t see why not.”

With a delighted squeal Rapunzel threw her arms around Varian’s shoulders in a tight hug.

“Thank you Varian! You won’t regret this, I promise!” Varian chuckled and hugged her back.

“Anything for you Raps.”

Pulling off his leather gloves and setting them to the side, Varian held his hands out palm up.

“Go nuts. Consider me your personal canvas.”

Rapunzel beamed at him and chose her colors and squirted them onto her palate and dipped her brush in.

“You ready, V?”

“Ready as I’ll ever be.”

Until that moment Varian hadn’t even thought about whether or not he would regret this. But then the brush tip stroked his palm and he had second thoughts. Squealing, he jerked his hand back as a reflex.

“Woah! You okay, Varian? We don’t have to do this if you don’t want to.” Rapunzel said, startled a bit by her friend’s reaction.

Biting his lip, Varian smiled awkwardly.

“N-no, it’s fine Raps. It just tickled, that’s all.” A wide smirk crossed the Queens face.

“You have ticklish hands, Varian?”

Blushing, the alchemist nodded.

“I guess. Even I didn’t know.” He admitted and then,

“Can you do it again please?” He held his hands out again, shyly, but happily. Rapunzel giggled,

“In a lee mood, I see.”

Whining the boy pouted at her.

“Yes, now just do it. You said you wanted to!”

Laughing, Rapunzel gently took Varian’s wrist in her hand and lowered the brush.

“Try not to squirm too much, V. I would hate to mess up my work.” With a giggle Varian nodded.

“Alright then.”

Varian instantly burst into giggles as the paintbrush stroked bright lines of color across his palm. His entire body demanded he pull away from the sensations, but he didn’t want to. His hand instinctively twitched and he squealed when Rapunzel painted a swirl in the center of his palm.

“Ah, Ah. No squirming, you’ll make me mess up, Varian.” The artist teased, dipping her brush in fresh paint.

“I’Ihihihim trying! Ihihit tickles!”

Rapunzel smirked,

“Then maybe I should just paint really slow, so it’s easier to adjust to the feeling.”

Doing just that, she being painting torturously slow and detailed, sending Varian into fits of squeals.

“Nohohoho! Ihihihihit’s wohohorse thahahat wahahay!”

“Well, perhaps you’re just too ticklish for this.” Rapunzel teased, taking Varian’s other hand.

“Mahaybe!” He responded, to giggle drunk to come up with a way to answer anymore coherently.

Rapunzel smiled and began painting again, using a softer brush that made Varian shriek.

“Oh yeah, I switched brushes by the way.”

“Thahahahanks for the wahahaharning, Rahaps.”

“Wow, someone’s sassy today. Maybe if I just-“,

Raising Varians palm to her lips, she blew a raspberry against it, sending him into another giggle fit.

“Hehehehehehey! Thahahahat’s not pahahainting!”

“Astute observation, Royal Engineer.”

Rapunzel grinned and went back to painting best she could with Varian squirming and giggling uncontrollably. She would occasionally sneak a few gentle scribbles and unexpected raspberries into the mix, just because he reacted so hilariously.

By the time Rapunzel’s palate was empty of paint, both she and Varian were somehow covered in blotches of color, undoubtedly from all Varian’s squirming.

“Varian, I have never met anyone with ticklish palms, but of course it was you. You really are ticklish everywhere.”

Varian groaned and went to hide his flushed face in his hands before remembering the paint hadn’t completely dried yet.

“I know! It’s a curse.”

Rapunzel giggled and reached over, lightly scribbling his tummy, making him giggle again.

“A curse? I don’t think a curse is something you would enjoy so much, V.”

“Fine, curse and a blessing. Is your artist block cured?”

Laughing, the Queen shook her head.

“Not yet. Maybe I should add some color to your tummy!”

Varian was bolting out the door before Rapunzel had finished her sentence. Not that he wasn’t completely and utterly in a lee mood by that point, but he wasn’t going down without a fight.

Rapunzel smirked and gave chase.

“Oh, no! You are not getting out of round 2 that easily mister! Gimme that ticklish tummy!”

Based on the shrieks of laughter coming from Rapunzel’s room not too long after, they didn’t get much paint on an actual canvas. Nor did the afternoon turn out very relaxing after all. Neither Varian nor Rapunzel minded much.

A/N: Y’all thank you so much for all the love these little drabbles are getting! I honestly didn’t think that many people still were into TTS/Varian, let alone tk content that I make because it’s what I want to see! You guys are amazing!

This Drabble is inspired by a head canon that I shared with @anxious-lee! They are amazing and we’re so welcoming to me! Thanks for letting me infodump my random Varian tk headcanons in your asks! <3
