Come On With a Come-on
For a ‘professional’, Johnny Cage is about the least professional person you’ve ever met. Propriety must be a foreign concept to him with how frequently he flirts with you, especially on set—you know, in front of all of your colleagues and crew? The man was shameless in his relentless pursual of you, like a goddamn dog with a bone. And worst of all? You liked it, and this fact frustrated you to no end.
How could you possibly be attracted to someone who is so insufferably arrogant, loud-mouthed, and impossibly far up his own ass? An ass that, admittedly, you find yourself staring at whenever you think he isn’t looking. But, because you’re an actual professional, you’ve rebuffed his every attempt to seduce you thus far. Plus, you had a reputation to keep and dignity to hold onto; you weren’t sullying either when the likely outcome would involve your face and name on countless tabloids.
Without warning, his stupid, smug, and incredibly handsome smile invades your mind, and you suddenly find yourself wanting nothing more than to punch it off of his unfairly chiseled jaw.
…or maybe kiss it off.
“Grah!” you abruptly shout while burying your hands in your hair, momentarily tugging at the roots in annoyance. God, you had a problem.
Bzzt.
“Huh?” You look down at your hip where your phone had just buzzed in your pocket. You pull it out and flick your finger across the screen to unlock it, then tap on the messaging icon.
Johnny Cage: Hey, wanna spar later? 👊👊
You raised a brow. You and Johnny worked in the same sphere for a reason. Action films were your guys’ bread and butter since the both of you knew how to fight as well as do your own stunts.
You and Johnny hung out casually here and there, but the two of you had never sparred before. You sensed an opportunity in his proposal, though: an effective way to get your frustration out on the source of said frustration. Shrugging, you figure, ‘why not?’
You: Yeah, I’m down. But I hope you know what you’re getting yourself into b/c I won’t be holding back!
Johnny: Woah, don’t go threatening me with a good time ;)
Your stomach twirled in unbidden delight at the cheeky response, and you internally chastised yourself for being so easily affected by this man. You and Johnny sorted out the details of your meetup—his place, late afternoon—and returned your phone to your pocket. You would just have to kill some time until then.
~~~
“Of course you would have your own gym, and of course it’s fuckin’ huge,” you joked with a bit of sarcasm, yet enough lightheartedness as to not offend. Though, you doubt Johnny could be so easily offended; he’s got way too much self-confidence (for better or for worse) to be put down that easily.
“Oh, honey, you haven’t seen ‘huge’ yet,” he boasted with a smirk. The wink that followed did nothing to abate the heat that was slowly taking over your body, but you did your best not to let the effects show. Since when were easy, immature innuendos such a turn on for you? You just closed your eyes and shook your head.
“Alright, I am definitely knocking you on your ass for that one.”
“Hah, see if you can, sweetheart!”
The two of you stood in your respective corners and took your stances. One quick little countdown later, and the game was on.
You knew Johnny was a very good fighter being a martial arts expert and all, but you didn’t realize he was that good. In all honesty, you figured he was more bark than bite, and that you’d have no real problem going toe-to-toe with him. Unfortunately, it seems like you may have underestimated him. It turns out that Johnny Cage was one of the rare few you had met who could back up their arrogance. Bully for you.
Furthermore, this shithead was fighting dirty! Well, okay—technically he wasn’t fighting dirty. He was just talking after all, and there’s nothing wrong or “illegal” with that. But it was a dirty tactic regardless, and it only infuriated you further with how helpless you were to try and block him out.
You pivot sharply on one foot and use the momentum to lift and swing the other around, aiming the kick at his head. You expect him to duck under such a high-reaching maneuver—maybe he’d follow up with a low sweep with your single foot planted on the ground—so you prepare yourself to counter this. See, before you went into acting, fighting was your primary activity; you won many tournaments and managed to make a decent living off of it. One of the main things you were known for were your notoriously powerful kicks; few would risk trying to outright block them rather than moving out of the way.
You must have forgotten who you were up against; that was the only reasonable explanation for your short-sightedness. You were not distracted by him or anything like that, thank you very much. Johnny-fucking-Cage just lifts an arm and grabs your leg. With one hand. Like it was nothing.
The impact creates a loud smack! that briefly leaves you dumbfounded; you felt the force of that blow against his palm, and it was enough to leave the skin there tingling unpleasantly. Johnny didn’t look phased in the least bit with a crooked smile dancing across his handsome features, just gripping your ankle. Casually. Like you weren’t currently being held in the near-vertical splits.
Johnny took this fleeting opportunity to give you a quick once-over, and his smile only grew. “Nice legs,” he quipped, “bet they’d look a lot nicer over my shoulders.” You openly gaped at his brazenness, and he used your shock to his advantage, flipping you in one fell swoop. You grunted when your back hit the mat underneath you, but the heat that overwhelmed your person (caused by your anger and fury, obviously) had you back up in a flash.
“Best two out of three,” you nearly seethed. Johnny had the audacity to appear as anything but intimidated. In fact, he seemed rather amused.
“You know, you’re like, really hot when you’re mad.”
You nearly flung yourself at him in a mindless bout of rage, but caught yourself only a split moment before you could make such a devastating mistake. A delightful idea quickly sprang to mind—two could play at this game.
You kept up the facade of indignation and outrage in order to trick Johnny into thinking that you actually were going to make that blind charge at him. You stepped off of your dominant foot, using the momentum to make a lunge for him. He braced himself to counter your head-on attack, but you feigned right at the last possible second, swiftly gripped his shoulder with your left hand, and brought your right leg in against the back of his knee to buckle it. Johnny was quick to recover, though, keeping enough of his balance to twist and grapple with you as his leg nearly gave out.
Ah, so it was time for plan B.
Before he could finish off the move, you brought your face right up to his, making sure that the two of you were making eye contact, and looked at him with sensual purpose. It was almost enough to disarm him, so to ensure you had the upper hand, you threw him another curveball with a breathy, “I wonder if you fuck as good as you fight.”
That did the trick. Johnny’s mind was sent reeling with your seemingly out-of-pocket comment, and you jumped at the chance to knock him flat on his ass. Johnny got the wind knocked from him as he landed with a resounding thump. Not wasting a minute, you straddled yourself across his hips and held his wrists against the floor mat. While Johnny had more raw strength than you, you hoped that the KO would leave him dizzy enough to keep him subdued.
“Ha! Gotcha!” you barked out in triumph. Johnny just blinked up at you in a daze as his response. “I knew you wouldn’t be able to handle the taste of your own medi-” you had cut yourself off when you felt something stiff beneath your pelvis. ‘What…? Wait, is he…’
“Are you hard right now?!” you squawked incredulously. Johnny just shrugged his shoulders and gave you an audacious smirk, as if to say, ‘Uh, yeah I guess so. What about it?’ You were flabbergasted. “I can not believe you right now!” You released his wrists and made to get up, but he grabbed your hips before you could get away. Damn it, his body was so warm, and…holy shit he felt big.
“Woah now, hang on just a tick,” he spoke like he was trying to soothe a startled horse. This fucking asshole! Why, just why did you have to fall for him? “It is very difficult not to pop a boner when I’m getting up close and personal to the most gorgeous person I know,” he spoke with an immense amount of charm and a surprising measure of sincerity. Your eyes widened comically before you squinted at him with a healthy amount of suspicion.
“Oh, really now? And I don’t suppose you’ve used that line with every other person you’ve taken to bed, hm?”
Johnny just sighed like he was the exasperated one here. “Darling, I’ve been laying it on thick for half a year now. There’s no way I’d still be after you just to get into your pants.” He looked at you with this sort of ‘duh’ expression on his face, like he couldn’t possibly understand your confusion. “I mean, don’t get me wrong: you’ve got just the kind of body that I love,” he added, and you nearly clocked him then and there, but you relaxed again as he spoke further, “but I’ve come to really like spending time with you. There’s never a day that I don’t look forward to working with you on set, you know.” And, just like that, you felt like the stupidest person on the planet for denying yourself something that you evidently could have had for a long time now.
You hung your head low and shook it from side to side in disappointment of yourself. You fool. You buffoon. You absolute imbecile. “Oh, you have got to be kidding me.” Johnny took this the wrong way, looking offended, and opened his mouth to say something. However, you were quick to shut him up with a short yet firm kiss of which he wasted no time in returning. He ground his hips against yours in short, desperate thrusts like there would never be another chance to do so, and you eagerly mirrored his movements like they might be your last. Without warning, he rolled the two of you over to flip your positions. Sprawled out beneath him with your hands held beneath his own, Johnny thought you looked like a dream.
“By the way, I think you’ll find that not only do I fuck as good as I fight, but I fuck like I fight, too—hard n’ fast,” he intoned in a voice nearly an octave deeper.
You squirmed in anticipation at his words, and retorted with equal huskiness, “let’s see it then.”

Hi this is based on the Halloween ask about Yandere rise brothers x the reader with the death trap maze.You mentioned, something about if one of the brothers gets really badly hurt or doesn’t even make it out alive. I was wondering if you want to, What would happen if the brothers did get badly hurt or one didn’t make it out live ,what if the reader got hurt or didn’t make it out alive? How would the brothers react? If you don’t wanna answer this no worries , hope your doing ok 🀄️
i think this is the longest post i’ve made, this is the first time i’m using the “keep reading” thing i’m so sorry lol
also i haven’t proofread this because it’s so long and i’m tired so i hope you enjoy. if you saw any mistakes, no you didn’t ✨✨
OK THIS JUST GAVE ME AN IDEA
if (y/n) gets really badly injured, the guys are gonna amp up their overprotectiveness by a million and will 100% kidnap them and lock them up in the sewers, that much is obvious.
and if one of the brothers were seriously hurt or died… (y/n) would definitely be conflicted.
assuming (y/n) found out they were being creepy, they would definitely want distance… but leaving them alone, after such a tragedy, after such a scarring event… it simply doesn’t feel right.
this also amps up the other brothers’ crazy meters. they’re gonna lock up (y/n), give more restrictions to them than usual, more locks and cameras, less likely to be persuaded…
they need (y/n) to understand. they’ve already lost a member of their family. they can’t lose another loved one.
and that scenario where (y/n) dies, i just-
so the turtles fought as hard as they could, shielding (y/n) from danger and trying to keep them from knowing the truth. maybe they tell them to close their eyes to stop them from seeing the truth, and because of that, they don’t see the danger coming for them and die.
at first, they’re all in denial. raph goes into a blind rage and charges head first into danger. he’s not scared of getting hurt, he just wants this maze to feel pain.
mikey’s holding (y/n), telling them that they’ll be okay, they’re all gonna make it home safe, and they’re never gonna leave each other’s side again.
donnie, in all his delusions, refuses to believe it’s too late for them. they’re still alive, he can patch them up, he can fix this.
leo’s the most lucid of them all. deep down, he knows that (y/n) is gone. he knows there’s nothing they can do about it. but it’s a truth he doesn’t want to believe, so he shuns out those thought and let’s himself believe the lies. (y/n) is still alive. they’ll make sure they come back to the lair safely.
it’s only when they finally make it out of the maze that they’re forced to confront the fact that (y/n) isn’t alive anymore. no matter how many cuts they stitch, medicine they give, (y/n) won’t wake up.
they gone for good.
they all deal with the loss differently. raph isn’t the same anymore. he practically has to be dragged out of bed and into the kitchen so he can eat. his eagerness to fight is gone, and the fire in his eyes is dead.
leo tries to push away his grief with anger. he goes out every night and takes out all his negative emotions on some poor criminals. but no matter how many thieves or bandits he beats up, he can never rid himself of the heavy weight on his chest, and he always ends up curled up in a ball, crying on a rooftop by the time the sun rises.
mikey is the only one of his brothers who still refuses to accept the truth. he still wears a smile, still has that sing-songy tone in his voice, still acts like (y/n) is alive. he always picks out (y/n)’s favorite movies to watch, always cooks an extra plate of food for them, always texts them at the usual time… (y/n) isn’t gone! they love the guys too much to leave them!
donnie, as most might predict, buried himself in his work. his doors are locked 24/7, they have to be practically broken down if anyone wants to get in. yet, even when he makes the most groundbreaking inventions, it isn’t the same without (y/n) praising his machinery and listening to him ramble about how it works. he wonders if it’s even worth it to continue his science if it isn’t for them…
wait. that’s it!
raph is still moping in his room, leo is on the surface beating a group of criminals half to death, and mikey is playing video games with “(y/n),” so no one notices when donnie leaves his lab in what feels like the first time in forever. his figure stalks through the sewers, until he finally finds what he’s been looking for.
the one thing that can get raph out of his room without being forced out.
the one thing that would provide leo with comfort after any rough night.
the one thing mikey refuses to visit because it’s the one thing that could disprove his blissful lies.
(y/n)’s grave.
the boys couldn’t bare the thought of (y/n) truly leaving them for good. so instead of letting their friends and family know of their death, they kept their grave in the sewers, where they could have them all to themselves. sure, it was selfish, but at this point… they simply stopped caring.
but tonight, that will all change.
leo will barge into the lair, frantic, distressed, and enraged. he’ll drag raph out of his room and practically throw him onto the couch where mikey is resting.
“someone dug up (y/n)’s grave!”
raph’s mood will change in a heartbeat. he’ll go from not caring at all what leo has to say, to practically fuming. mikey, on the other hand, will simply pout.
“i told you guys! (y/n) gets upset when you say that they’re dead! you’re taking this prank way too far!”
“mikey, this is serious!”
“i know! you made (y/n) mad, so they tore up that stupid grave you keep saying you buried them in!”
“we have to find their body!”
“they aren’t dead!”
for a moment, it will look like the fight is about to get physical. that is, until the lights suddenly shut off. donnie’s lab door will fly open, with the lights flickering within. whatever experiment donnie will do, it will have short-circuited everything else in the lair.
amidst the flickering lights, the trio will see donnie hunched over a table, diligently checking over whatever he had done.
“donnie! what’s the big deal?!”
leo’s irritated words will fall on deaf ears. all donnie will do is grin as he mutters under his breath, his tone uncharacteristically chipper.
leo will groan as he walks into the lab, his brothers following not too far behind.
“whatever, that’s not important. someone took (y/n)’s body out of their grave, and it’s our job to-!”
leo will stop mid sentence when donnie steps out of the way. raph and leo will stare wide eyed at the experiment donnie had pulled.
“…(y/n)?”
it’ll be hard to believe, but it’ll be true. there, on the lab table, (y/n) will sit. they’ll look like they’ve been starving for weeks, some of their limbs might even be falling off…
but that bright light in their eyes will say it all.
donnie will explain everything; how he dug their body from their grave, how he double, triple, and quadruple checked everything to make sure this process wouldn’t go downhill, how he used all the power in the lair to power his invention so he could bring (y/n) back to life-
“i told you i could fix this!”
mikey will be the first to act. he’ll run up to (y/n) and embrace their fragile form. donnie will warn him to be gentle with them, they’ve just come back from the dead, and their body is still weak. mikey will respond with a pout, saying that (y/n) was never dead to begin with.
“i told you, they’ve been alive all this time! isn’t that right, (y/n)?”
leo will take a step forward… and laugh. laugh as if this is a joke. this is surely a joke, right? reviving someone from the dead is impossible. this is just a robot donnie built to hurt their feelings as some twisted prank, and soon the rug will be pulled from under their feet, right? right? but then, his hand will cup their cheek. they’ll lean into his touch… and he’ll know it’s the real (y/n). he’ll break down on the spot. he’ll laugh and cry and pull them close, stuttering and sputtering as he chokes on his words, before trailing off and simply letting himself relish in their embrace.
“(y/n), you- you-” *hic* “- you were- how did- i… i…”
all the while, raph will stare at the group in disbelief. he won’t say anything, and for a good while, he won’t even move. even when donnie tries to snap him out of his daze, he’ll simply stand there. it’ll be as if time had stopped. and then (y/n) will make eye contact with him, and his body will move on his own. tears will stream down his face as he wraps his arms around the three of them. he had felt so empty holed up in his room, but when he’s holding onto them, he’ll feel whole again…
he’ll smile.
of course, things can’t just go back to the way things were. the boys are so traumatized after what happened, and what will (y/n)’s friends and family think if they see them in such a state?
i imagine that after donnie’s experiment, (y/n) is like a zombie. they don’t want to eat brains or anything, but their body is kinda decomposing, their limbs sometimes fall off and have to be stitched back on, and their brain, well…
i think they’d have memory loss. they can’t remember their death all that clearly, they’ve forgotten events that have happened more than a few days ago, and they regularly forget where they are, what they’re doing, and have to be constantly helped by the turtles. not that they turtles mind, of course.
this definitely works in the guys’ favor. they’ve forgotten the maze, so even if they saw all the terrible things the turtles have done for them, they won’t remember. they barely remember their life outside the turtles, so they don’t have to worry about competition. even if they somehow come across a memory of a family member or friend, the turtles can divert their attention to something else, and they’ll forget the person soon enough.
sure, this isn’t the right thing to do. sure, it’s selfish.
but with all they’ve gone through for (y/n), don’t they deserve this?
tried to stay in the halloween theme since the original post was a holiday special, hope ya like it

Honey To The Bee
Clyde (Electrik children)
Y/N and Clyde have feelings for each other but y/n is unsure if he’s being genuine in his confession
A/N: i haven’t written and posted in a really long time so excuse any mistakes or inconsistencies i’m way too tired to proofread i just wanted to get this out lol just an idea i had idk. sorry for being MIA and like popping in and out of tumblr so much i honestly thought i’d given up on writing lol also though i’ve been on here a while i still don’t know how to write the warnings and stuff so please bare with me
warnings?: Fem reader, mostly fluff, clyde being very slightly pervy yeah i didn’t feel the need to add smut today lol
“what’s going on between you two?” johnny asked clyde as he closed the door behind their closest friend. he blushed trying to keep a straight face. “man nothing it’s never like that with her.” he lied. he sort of has a massive crush on you and it had increased ever since you’d met.
“you act like we’re not bestfriends and roommates.” johnny said glancing over at him for a moment waiting for clyde to fill him in on something that clearly happened. but clyde just sighed, rolled his eyes and retreated to the bathroom to wash his face to cool himself down.
y/n was a block away in her car, equally as red as clyde but she has no one around to ask questions so she quickly slowed her heartbeat. he probably wasn’t even being serious she thought as she drove. he was probably playing a joke like usual. either way she wasn’t gonna let it bother her so she headed in to work.
y/n worked at a tattoo shop, designing tattoos. she loved watching the modded people walk in covered in silver, colors and ink. they were everything she wanted to be but she was too scared of doing too much and going overboard. clyde, johnny and snow always said it would suit her. they maybe didn’t say it so appropriately but that was the idea.
tonight johnnys band had a show and clyde was supposed to be going on stage to escalate the mood. he wanted y/n to do his makeup so she sat in her office looking through pinterest for inspiration after drawing up her last tattoo. “hey you busy tonight?” asked her coworker from the door. “yeah i got a gig.” she replied. “how late you gonna be out? i need you to pick something up for me.” he asked. y/n thought it over before just agreeing.
clyde was excited for the show. he’d been on stage with the band before but he wanted it to be more of a permanent position since he had to attend all their gigs because he’s their driver. y/n always felt her knees go weak when she watched him on stage. to her he looked so free and so happy and his happiness always made her happy. but he also looked really fucking hot. that’s when her feelings for him started. the first time she saw him on stage.
as she picked up her makeup bag and headed to clyde’s van outside the venue she began sweating. clyde had confessed feelings for her and though she had feelings for him too she was worried that maybe he was joking. that snow or lola told him and he was playing a trick on her. so before she was in view of the van she called snow.
“so.. clyde told me he likes me. but it didn’t feel genuine. and listen i won’t be mad but did you or lola tell him i have feelings for him?” she asked the moment the ringing stopped. “what no?! he actually told us he likes you and asked how he could ask you out.” she laughed. y/n turned red. “clyde’s a great guy so i think you should go for it. you trusting us with telling us you like him is a big deal to us we wouldnt betray that.” she informed y/n and she felt relief wash over her.
once they hung up y/n proceeded to the van. "hey you're almost late." clyde said as he opened the van. "yeah sorry i was on the phone with snow." she laughed. "do you wanna talk about earlier?" he asked. y/n stayed silent and set up her makeup. "maybe not yet." she still had to think about how it would affect the friend group. he nodded and sat back. she sat next to him and began the clown makeup she'd thought up before playing billie piper on her phone. "whats this music?" he asked quietly trying to hold still for her. "i actually dont know i found out billie pipers a musician and ive had a recent interest in 2000s pop." she said, applying the white foundation. he hummed in response.
"wouldnt this be easier?" he asked as he pulled her on his lap. she blushed, getting comfortable. "just not so much movement i assume." she joked but it made him blush. they stayed quiet for a moment while she focused but all she could think about was his hands inching down her back.
“woah watch it.” she said, pulling his hands up and he giggled and lightly gripped her making he jump slightly. she willed herself to continue his makeup when they made eye contact and she leaned in to kiss him. it was the sweetest kiss she’d ever had. though the position they were in was very compromising it felt gentle and warm dare i say wholesome?!
they pulled away and sat it a comfortable silence before giggling. “we’ll at least now i know for sure you weren’t joking earlier.” she looked away sheepishly trying to hide her fluster. “i have no idea how you thought i was messing with you. have i not been obvious?” he said, turning her head to look at him. she shrugged, thinking back to all the moment when he laid his hand on her lower back to guide her or got her a meaningful gift that only the two of them would understand or how johnny described to her the excitement clyde would suddenly have when he knew she was coming over.
“there was just so much overwhelming me. i didn’t want to put our friendship at risk.. ours or with the group.” she said sitting back up and looking at him. “well i definitely risked your makeup i have to start over.” she laughed wiping the black lipstick off his chin. “i’m definitely not mad at it. i like this type of alone time.” he let his hands rest on her thighs.
she grabbed a wet wipe and took the mess off of him, wiping gently to not irritate his skin. she’s done his makeup so many times before, sitting on his lap but it’s never felt the way it does now.
——
LAST A/N: sorry if this was short i usually make these so long that i just lose interest and never finish them so this is the best i can do right now. i’m still organizing my tumblr even after what like 3 years of being on here? welcome to all the new followers i do intend on continuing posting at least for a while lol i really enjoy interacting with anyone and i will take constructive criticism ofc :)

Could I request a Neji (from Naruto) fluffy (little ANGSTY if you want). My idea was that the reader has this huge crush on Neji and would LITTERALLY do anything for him, but he is so rude to her and one day she just kinda breaks down in front of him and asks why he hates her when all she ever does is try to please him? Then it ends in some cute fluffy stuff?? Ignore if you wanna lol don't feel pressured to do this!
❒ break down
a/n : i love this prompt so much wtf i was so excited to write this 😩‼️im not too proud of the results tho im also experimenting with new fic formats so my posts are gonna look weird for a hot sec im also so fucking sorry this took me 7 years to write 💀.
tags/cw : kinda fluffy at the end, neji being an asshole, cursing and this not being proofread <3
pairing : neji x reader
you had the biggest crush on neji
everyone knew
it was obvious. even neji knew you liked him.
before he left for a mission, you were always there at the gates to tell him “good luck” and brought him small presents
every single time he tells you “thanks but you can keep it. i don’t need your pathetic gifts.”
you’ve never given up though, and you didn’t plan to.
but today was different.
team 3 was coming back from a failed mission. you didn’t know too much about it though.
you watched as they said their goodbyes, heading in opposite directions
you stopped neji and said, “hey neji, can i talk to you for a sec?” he looked hesitant for a second, then nodded.
the hyuga looked more tense than usual, but you thought nothing of it. he was probably just tired from his mission, right?
“so..how was your mission? was it easy? i bet it was!” you beamed. “how the mission went is none of your business, y/n. now what do you want?” he sighed “someone’s a little grumpy today” you teased. he just glared at you in return.
“so..uhm, how come you’ve never accepted any of the gifts i’ve gave you? do you not like them or-” neji cut you off. “-i never asked for your childish gifts in the first place. i don’t have to accept something i don’t want or need.”
his words stung. “but i’ve tried to be really nice to you and i take time out of my day to make presents for you..” you began to trail off
“again, i never asked you to be nice, or to make me your pitiful gifts. grow up already, y/n. this is getting annoying.” he spat
your throat began to feel hot and tight and your eyes began to sting, tears building up on your lashes. you lowered your head so neji couldn’t see your face. you thought it would just add to your embarrassment.
as neji walked away, he mentally hit himself. ‘why did i say all of that? i didn’t even mean it’ he thought. then he heard sniffling. he stopped for a second, internally debating whether he should go and comfort your or keep walking.
he turned around and saw you crying. “...y/n..i would like to apologi-“ “-no, neji. don’t even finish that sentence. why do you hate me? all i ever do is try to please you, and in return you treat me like shit. i’m sorry for annoying you, but it doesn’t matter if you like me back or not. that gives you no right to constantly call me ‘childish’ or ‘pathetic’. you constantly put me down when i’m simply just being a decent human being, and trying to win your affection.”
he was shocked. he never meant to make you feel like that. he wasn’t sure what his intentions were in the first place. all he knew was that he loved you. and it scared him.
now you were the one walking away. neji quickly grabbed your wrist. “let go of me.” you said meekly.
he sighed and said “y/n please, listen.” you said nothing.
“i never meant to make you feel like that. i’m sorry, it was wrong of me, and i don’t expect you to forgive me right away. but please know that you don’t annoy me, at all. it’s quite the opposite, actually.” he muttered the last part lol
“stop messing around neji. you literally just said ‘i was annoying’, and that ‘i should grow up.’” you frowned.
“i know, and believe me when i say i didn’t mean any of it. the truth is, i’m actually quite fond of you.” neji huffed out. he let go of your wrist
“...are you confessing to me?”
“if thats what you want to call it, yes.”
“that was a terrible love confession, but ill take it. i can’t just forgive you right away though, what you said really hurt.”
“then let me make it up to you. give me a chance?”
“of course.”
please do not copy my work, or repost it anywhere (re-blogs are alr <3.)

armin has a crush on you
↳ armin arlert x gn!reader
↳ genre: fluff, modern!au, slight college!au
↳ w.c: 1.2k
↳ warnings: none
↳ a/n: this is the first time posting any sort of fic writing so i hope you enjoy! (criticism is appreciated but pls don’t be mean)! also, i use "reader" as a placeholder name rather than "y/n".
↳ not proofread/edited!
ok first of all armin best boy
i feel like armin’s the type to know how he feels but not necessarily know how to actually tell you
y’all probably share a few gen ed classes
maybe you were introduced by a mutual friend
like one day your friend mikasa invites you to study with her and armin and from then on you guys start to hang out together
is touched when you invite him to study with your friends
and when he gets there to the library and you wave him over to your table he probably goes to sit in the chair opposite you but you grab his wrist and encourage him to sit next to you so he takes an extra long time getting his stuff out of his bag bc he’s trying to hide the blush on his cheeks and ears
after studying at the library your friends are going out to eat but he doesn’t wanna intrude on like casual friend time so he says he has to continue working on stuff and starts heading home
armin is kinda surprised when you jog up next to him as he walks to his dorm once you say goodbye to your friends bc you’re “tired and want a nap”
you look over at him and smile and ask if you can join him
and he’s like,,, “i’m just gonna be working on some stuff it’ll be boring to hang out with me. didn’t you tell them you’re tired? you should rest” but rly he’s nervous bc he wasn’t actually planning on working on stuff he just didn’t wanna intrude in your friend group
and you’re like,,, “no it’s okay i just said that…” you kinda trail off bc how do you tell your crush you just blew off the chance to hang out with friends for the chance to hang out with him. “i can just keep you company while you work”
cue blushy min but who is he to say no really
so you walk together to his dorm and while he sets his stuff out on his desk he tells you to make yourself comfy
so you jump on his bed and take out a book
he gets butterflies~~ when he notices it’s one he recommended to you
actually melted when you asked him for book recommendations by the way
and when you fall asleep on his bed armin thinks he might just die
pulls a blanket over you and lets you sleep while he works or reads to watches netflix or smtg
when you wake up all flustered and embarrassed he brushes it off with smtg like “guess you were tired after all” but on the inside he thinks it’s so cute omg bye
oh backtracking to books!!!1!!1!1! if you ever offered book recs to him he would short circuit i think
pls could you image “armin! i read this book recently and i think you’d really like it here take my copy i hope you enjoy!”
he would combust bye
anyway after a while of you kinda inviting yourself to hang out/study with him often eventually he actually expects you to come w him/meet him/hang out with him
“aren’t you coming?”
“oh, i thought you were gonna hang out with eren, i was just heading home”
“eren doesn’t care, come with me”
now it’s your turn to blush omg
after a while of y’all hanging out regularly he feels himself get more and more comfortable talking to you and not so nervous all the time
probably finds it attractive when you are genuinely interested in what he has to say so if he rambles pls smile and nod and rest your chin on your hand dreamily
so when he realizes he’s rambling and he notices he gets embarrassed and is like “sorry,,, i was rambling, wasn’t i?”
you can respond with a smile and reassure him you like listening/are interested and encourage him to keep going
and he’ll look bashful on the outside
probably scratch the back of his head/neck and avoid eye contact
but is internally excited that you wanna listen so he does continue
he’d be so touched if you ASkeD quEstiONS bc like,,,, that tells him you’re actually listening and not just letting him talk absentmindedly
i can see it now; armin texts you to confirm that your weekly study date is still on and you respond with “actually,, i wanted to go see this new movie with this guy i like,,, rain check”
and he gets rly sad omg like his chest tightens up and he goes “oh. ok, have fun!”
but then the next day eren’s like,,, cmon man no use in moping around get dressed and armin is like
no disrespect bro,,,, but stfu and leave me alone thanks haha lol
but after a while he does get dressed begrudgingly and then a few minutes later there’s a knock on the door and eren gets a text and looks up from his phone w like a grimace or some shit and he’s like,,,, “oh shit,,, armin,,, dude,,, i forgot i had plans” and armin’s like
(ಠ_ಠ) you made me get dressed,,,, while i was brooding,,, for nothing
and then eren opens the door and looks apologetically at armin and he’s like “i’t’s okay reader’s great company” and that’s when armin notices it was you who knocked on the door
and you smile at him and he’s now starting to put two and two together as eren slips by you and shouts a farewell down the hall and when you smile at him nervously and wave two movie tickets as a greeting he realises that no he wasn’t reading the signs wrong, and yes you do like him back (he’s a Smart Boy) and when you’re like,,,, “so,, you are free, right?”
and he’s like “........you could’ve just asked me to see a movie with you” and he mumbles the next bit but you still hear and it makes you blush “instead of making me think all jealous and mopey thinking you liked someone else”
in conclusion yes he has a fat crush but yes you’d have to make the first move bc he would Not Know How
but you absolutely have a cute dinner+movie+walk in the park date that definitely ends with a kiss and both of y’all not being able to fall asleep bc the matching face-splitting grins are too distracting
like you both just sit in your respective beds for hours that night staring at the ceiling and probably eren and mikasa and sasha and connie are all giggling deviously over mikasa’s phone after you text her that the plan worked lmao and he kissed you goodnight and omg mika he’s so cute and sweet and it was such a good date and dsfjsnjfgijf
and when armin notices a sticky note on his computer monitor from eren that reads “took you long enough” he may or may not shake his head fondly at his best friend’s antics except he’s got a blush on his cheeks bye
and if you wake up to a “good morning❤️” text from him and your heart explodes who’s gonna know
thanks for reading!!

So, I tried to calculate Control...
... and its Epic Games deal, with the help of my certified smooth brain™ and probably incorrect sources.
I started this last night hella tired and with a headache, I have finished it up today hella tired and with a headache, and this is what I produced: bullshit! :D
But hey, at least double checked bullshit that’s open for discussion and contribution and expansion. Also, I probably won’t list the sources because a) I’m lazy and b) I didn’t have to dig thaaat deep down to find all this so if you really wanna know you could probably hit google with it as well. Anyhow here we go lol
So, the initial thought which got all of this rolling was the 2020-wrap-up-post Remedy linked on their twitter, and Epic’s linked publishing announcement in it: studios Remedy, Playdead and GenDesign will release their next next-gen games with Epic.
Now, we all know Remedy are working on some sort of Alan Wake-ish thing as we speak (right? right?? god I hope so), which meanssss our boy will most likely be an Epic exclusive. Which makes me kinda sad because, well. I’m deep in Steam’s ass. Hell, I waited for Control for a full year before I played it because they can pry the Steam version from my cold dead hands.
So I asked myself... was it worth it for them? How much money did they throw at Remedy (and 505 Games) to have them play along? Would they have reached more people from the get-go if they had released it on Steam right away? Did the individual programmer, designer, writer, artist, person behind it profit from this at all?
(Also, like, about the rights and copyright thing,,,,, you’d think they could have learned from Alan Wake and its IP belonging to Microsoft and so not really being able to do anything more with it because they don’t ‘own’ it and shit) buuut anyway that’s not the point of this post, now it’s time to do some MATH BABEY
Ok, let’s start with some things we know. Facts. Figures. Data.
Turns out my initial question, how much money was involved, could be answered by doing one (1) google search: according to Wikipedia, Epic gave Remedy and 505 Games €9.49mio. The total budget for the game was €26.9mio over the course of 3 years of development. We know that as of December 2020, over 2mio copies of the game were sold, with November 2020 being the best-selling month ever since its initial release in August 2019.
This is where question 1) comes into play: how many of those 2 million copies were sold in 2019 and how many in 2020? Stay tuned, I think I found out.
We know that Remedy gets to keep 45% of the revenue, which, I assumed, means that 505 keeps the remaining 55% (probably a lot more going on there but shhh).
We know that Control’s sales cooked up €17.84mio in 2019 (so months September – December), €17.7mio of those in the first month alone (O.O).
Side note: because it came out at the very end of August, I’ll ignore that month and declare September the first sales month.
We know that 60% of sales in 2019 were digital ones (aka Epic Store, mostly), 40% physical ones (consoles PS4 and XB1), while in 2020, only 10% of sales were physical and a whopping 90% digital; which is people on Epic who wanted to get their hands on the first DLC and – you guessed it – the Steam release of the Ultimate Edition in August 2020.
Which begs question 2): what’s bigger, 60% of 2019 sales because ‘ooh shiny new game’, or 90% of 2020 sales because ‘yay steam release’? The answer may look obvious, but you have to take into account the dropping price, which I also researched for your pleasure and enjoyment.
For this I used a German website called idealo.de, which focuses on looking for the best deals for basically anything you can buy on the internet, and it also gives you diagrams that describe at which point in time the product was at which exact price. This is what it gave me:
- release price: €60
- December 2019: €41 (PS4)/€44 (XB1)
- mid-2020: €30
- Ultimate Edition release: €30
- December 2020: €14 (PS4)/€18 (XB1)/€30 (Ultimate Editions)
At this point I was like “lol hold on i need chocolate for this cuz i’ll be here for some time *sweating*”
To continue this mess™, I see more questions:
3) How many employees does Remedy have, which positions do they work in and what are their salaries?
4) How many employees does 505 have, which positions and salaries do they have?
5) What’s the total revenue that Control has generated so far?
And also some more stuff like, are my numbers accurate, am I even grasping these concepts correctly, are there even more people involved or am I just trying to explain complete crap (yes) but let’s just ignore all of that shall we.
At that point I went “oh shit what have i gotten myself into, this screen does not get my point across, i need pen and paper” and you know shit is gonna go DOWN when I do math on paper.
My paper math birthed the following calculation:
Following this up, we can calculate the end-of-2019 sales, if we set the price for September and October to €60, for November and December to approx. €45:
Now, you might notice that one of those numbers is big and the other is HUGE. Why might that be? Well...
- Covid19: everyone stayed at home and needed video games to play
- More sale months of the year, naturally
- dropping price: why get it for €60 when you can get it for 20
- Ultimate Edition: why buy it in June when you get more content in August
aaaand...
- it comes out on Steam.
With this in mind, let’s see what questions we can answer:
1) 661,110 copies in 2019; 1,338,889 copies in 2020
2) 60% digital sales in 2019 means 396,666 Epic copies; 90% digital sales in 2020 means 1,205,000 copies – most of it from Steam? Some of it? A good chunk? The bigger chunk? There’s no way of really knowing for sure but... you could read this into it. I definitely am.
3) Google told me Remedy had a little over 250 employees at the end of 2019...
4) ... and 505 has less than 100. I found no good sources for this, I think linkedin said 37, someone else said 50. I’ll just use the 50 figure, idk. No idea man.
and for 5) I’ll contradict my point that the Steam release is what knocked the sales out of the park and assume that the number of sold copies stayed the same across all 12 months of 2020, which gives us this:
Ok and now we’re getting into the most dangerous of danger zones because I have no idea how companies or capitalism work, so for educated people™, the remaining calculations might read like a toddler wrote them; I apologize profusely and hereby present last night’s brain vomit:
As stated earlier, development took 3 years, but everyone wanted to get paid in 2020 as well so let’s use 4 years to find out the salaries, which is 48 months. Let’s assume the utopian idea that every employee on the line here gets the exact same amount of money (LOL ikr but shhhh, let’s live out our dirtiest equality fantasies for a second ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)). Which would mean...
And now without the Epic Deal™:
Quod erat demonstrandum.
Remedy has been selling their souls to Epic for €350 a month since 2017.
(I don’t mean this as maliciously as I’m making it sound, don’t worry xD)
OKAY SO, O B V I O U S L Y, I have not the slightest idea what on earth I’m talking about so read this like you’d read a good fanfiction.
We don’t know the different salaries across the different positions (and genders HAH), we don’t know if other parties were involved, I’ve completely ignored the sum that Epic themselves get, I have ignored taxes, I don’t know if my numbers are accurate (they’re definitely not I mean 505 must have more employees than 50), if I made mistakes (yes), and also somewhere along the way I forgot to use the €26.9mio budget figure because, uuh, I have no idea where to use it, what it means, where did it come from, where did it go, cotton eye joe - but oh well, I’m not starting over, take it or leave it.
So... I can now officially say I have written hot steamy economics fic xD
Man I put waaay too much time into this but damn was it fun. Good three-hour-deep-dive (two of them spent munching on chocolate half-asleep listening to psytrance to keep my brain twitchy). Real-life-theorizing. Fuck capitalism. Don’t do drugs. Pet a cat. Wear your mask. Call your grandparents.
If there’s typos in this I’m sorry but also I’m not, I can’t be bothered to proofread again lol. Goodnight imma catch up on the sleep I lost. Gotta love full moons
#this is the first post in ages in which i used punctuation and capitalization are you proud of me xD#dw it won’t stay like this#control#control remedy#alan wake#ok now go yell at me how stupidly wrong and dumb this is i’m ready#do you think my old math teacher would be proud#i think so#my economics teacher... not so much

okay feel free to ignore this but *gasps* what if lorraine and wes existed in one verse?? they'd be *softly* friends. anyway, if your muse is up to it, how about lorraine/wesley + "❖ My muse accidentally falls asleep against yours." please and thank you 🥺
i was SO EXCITED TO WRITE THIS!!! i hope u like it!!! <3 i rlly wanted to post it before u woke up and i have not proofread it lol, my deepest apologies,, also went for a lora/wes/john kinda vibe... hope this is acceptable uwu
❖ lora accidentally falls asleep against wes
Wes gingerly, so very carefully silent, closes the back door to John's ranch after Boomer, and exhales all his breath at once. There were more Chosen crawling around than usual today— normally John keeps his favorite one or two in charge of Seed Ranch, with lesser Peggies following their orders. Tonight, Wes counted at least four Chosen, maybe more with the sheer volume of Peggies packed into the grounds.
Usually he can make it in with no bloodshed, in at night and out in the morning with no trouble. Today, the barrel of his silenced pistol is still hot, and there's blood under his fingernails.
Boomer's nails click against the kitchen tile, then still, as Wes checks over his clothes for blood. John will have a fit if he gets any on his… anything. "Whatcha got, buddy?" Wes calls, still not looking at Boomer. He thinks he's clean, except for his hands. He'll have to scrub them clean before John will let him touch him, so he moves to the sink. "Johnny drop some food on the floor?"
"Wes?"
Wes flinches hard with his hand on the sink handle. "Jesus Christ!" he snaps, hands coming up as if to defend himself on gut instinct. His hands fall the instant he sees the person standing at the edge of the kitchen, though, her hands on Boomer's head and eyes wide. "Christ. Lora, sorry. I didn't know you were here."
Lorraine tilts her head and resumes petting Boomer from when Wes's outburst had startled her into stopping. "Is John with you?" she asks, eyes flickering to the door, as if John's going to emerge any second. "He's been gone for a few hours. The Heralds were meeting today."
"Oh," Wes says, hesitates, then turns back to the sink. He lathers soap up on his hands while he thinks for a moment, because he's a little stumped— he had no idea that the Heralds were meeting today. Not just because John hadn't mentioned anything, but he had figured Eli was pretty on top of Jacob's comings and goings, but— nevermind. "No, I thought he was here."
They're silent as Wes scrubs at his nailbeds, tries to get the blood free before it dries. Then Lora exhales in a puff, and says with a note of cheer in her voice, "It's good to see you, Wes. It's been a while."
Wes casts a warm look over his shoulder. "Yeah," he says, earnest. "You're doing good?"
Lora hums a soft affirmative. "I'm good. I just worry about John. And you, too." She looks pointedly to his hands, where the water is finally starting to run clear.
"Ah, don't worry about me," he dismisses, lifting one shoulder as if to shrug the thought away, roll it off him like rain. "I'm indestructible."
Oh, they both know it's not true. Of course it's not. It's simple to say, though.
"Come sit on the couch with me," Lora says instead of responding, as he dries his hands. "John should be home soon."
"I hope so," Wes says as he casts an arm over her shoulders, grins down at her. He clicks his tongue for Boomer to follow, then guides Lora back to the living room. "What time is it, 10:30? It's gettin' to be past my bedtime. John should know better."
Lora laughs, soft and angelic as ever. Wes grins, and drops himself on the couch with one arm draped over the back, so Lora can tuck herself into his side. She does, without a moment's hesitation. Nestles right in close, shoulder in his armpit, head against his chest.
She sighs and leans heavy against him. Wes brings his arm down around her, keeps her close, and rubs his hand up and down the bare skin of her arm. "He'll be home soon, won't he?" she asks, her voice so soft and worried.
"Yes, angel," he promises, and drops a kiss to the top of her head. "Before you know it." Wes taps his fingers against her arm, betrays his own anxiety, and prompts, "How about a movie while we wait?"
John comes through the front door while the credits roll.
Lora is long asleep against Wes's shoulder, mouth parted, breath slipping slow and warm against his collarbones. She'd fallen asleep maybe forty minutes in, fingers curled in Wes's shirt and ankle hooked over his. Clinging close, making sure he's there— Wes wouldn't move an inch if someone bribed him. She was trusting him to protect her, in that moment, waiting for their… person, to get home, the two of them the only ones on their side.
So he isn't asleep, but his eyes are admittedly lidded as the names scroll up John's TV. His hand presses to Lora's side, firm and reassuring. I have you, I promise, I'm not leaving.
The door creaks, footsteps thud, and then slams shut. Wes flinches hard for the second time that night, suddenly awake as ever, eyes darting for a weapon, just in case— he'd taken off his gun and knife before cuddling up with Lora, but he should've kept them in reach, goddamnit—
"Two hours, Joseph said, two hours and we'd be done, but instead it takes all fucking night to go over everything. Can't have any time to fucking—" John passes the threshold into the living room, still ranting, then cuts off abruptly as he sees the sight before him on the couch.
Wes, tense posture melting back into the couch at the sight of him, and Lora, pink lips parted sweetly as she sleeps on his chest.
He nearly dissolves, every complaint fleeing his mind at once.
"Hi, baby," John whispers, creeping closer, and gingerly sets his belongings on the coffee table. "I didn't know you were coming tonight. Fucking Joseph and Jacob—"
"Yeah, I gathered," Wes mumbles, smiling faintly at John's bitching. "'S'okay. Hasn't been so long. She was just tired."
"And you, on the other hand, look wide awake."
Wes snorts and blinks long and slow at John like a housecat. Or a… tamed lion, more so, perhaps. "Mhm. Wanna take her up to bed?" he asks, tipping his head to Lora. He gives her a gentle, affectionate squeeze, and she makes a soft noise in her sleep. Wes softens even more, if possible, and presses a kiss to her hair. "Prob'ly carry her, so she doesn't have to get up."
"Yes," John agrees, and steps forward to cradle Wes's jaw in his hand. "Thank you for being with her." He pauses, mediating his next words, then, "Come to bed, too. There's room for the three of us."
Wes breathes in through his nose and exhales through his mouth, weighing the options as best he can— but fuck it, he's exhausted, Lora is warm against his side, and he hasn't seen John in days. What's one more boundary broken.
"Yeah," Wes murmurs, brushing Lora's hair out of her face, ginger, gentle. "Yeah, I'll come to bed."
#LORA/WES... <3333#LOVE them#oc: lorraine dorsey#oc: wesley beltran#john seed#fc5#my fic#ohfaiths#ask

I wanna start a blog where I write any advice?? I’m lost I don’t know what to dooo please HELP
oh my… you’re coming to me??? for help????? i just… okay…
um
so, as you may or may not know i had started writing for shouto since about… march last year but it was an OC, and then i finally built up the courage to submit my writings for people to read here… also i didnt proofread any of this im waaaay too tired but i wanted to put this out asap for you!!!!!!
this is what i did!:
i created a whole new blog tbh. my old blog is hella old and i never really did anything on it except like literally everything, so if youre curious about what it is youll be disappointed because i haven’t reblogged anything on there in 4 years. i know, i was a terrible supporter of writers and artists back then!!!!!!
created an account with the name burnedbyshouto hated the way the u ruined the symmetry of the title so i made it burnedbyshoto! LMAO if you were curious about that. i went in knowing that i what i was gonna write!
before i created the blog i actually had my first piece ready, idk if you read it but its Watermelon Seeds and Strawberry Milk. that was my first piece and let me tell you i almost cried when i uploaded it. i didnt get a single note on it until 3 days later. now that was the scariest thing ever.
i didnt go looking for help, and i certainly didnt have a single tumblr friend. so i had to wait for my post to show up on the tags! turns out it didnt show up for 3 days!!!!! so if you get around to starting this blog, and would like me to read it ;) ill gladly give you exposure!! because i get it, that first piece is the hardest thing to upload. i was panicking to the point i was nauseous those entire 3 days when i wasn’t getting any attention from it because i thought it meant i was a failure at writing! so you have to be patient and be confident!!!! by day 4 my post had hit 20 likes and i literally messaged everyone who liked that first post because it was world changing to me. i honestly cried as i sent out my thank you’s and those first few likers and followers i remember their urls and im positive im following them all because they’re the ones who got me to say “maybe… my writings aren’t as bad as i thought!”
spurred into action by this new found courage i began working on ideas. i had two at the time, both for shouto (of course). and i got my first ask by ashtheteenagewitch (i wont tag her because i dont want to disturb her, but her ask changed my life). it was the childhood friends to lovers troupe, and it was the first post i made that hit over 100 likes. i sobbed when it broke 100.
so it kinda,,,, snowballed from there. i started a schedule. i post once a day around 12 pm - 4 pm PST idk if any of you noticed that LOL. i tried going between original content and asks, something ive been lacking clearly on nowadays because i have so many requests! dont get me wrong, i love all the requests that come my way but i havent had time in awhile to write something that comes from me. but again im not as creative as my requesters, love every single one of you requesters btw. you save me a lot of headaches and pain.
i made sure to create a rules list, and a masterlist soon after, and then i started getting attention i guess. since i primarily stayed within shouto in the beginning and i posted once a day when other writers are focused on other posts i must have gotten the “i just want new content” people liking my posts LOL
i dont know… i can’t say for certain what the trick is to all this…
you just… have got to be confident in yourself!
do what you love to do and your followers and readers will see that. pour your heart into it so that way no one can say it was for naught. never be discouraged, like i almost was, by lack of notes. because guess what! if youre happy writing, theres nothing else that matters!!!! nowadays i don’t even look at my notes because im proud of everything i put out.
im happy about every single one of the things i put out, my only fear is that the requester wont like it, but so far i haven’t heard back from too many of those anons… since theyre anon and wont be informed i finally got to their ask…. but yeah.
write and post because YOU LOVE TO DO IT stop caring about stupid things like followers, likes, reblogs, and replies. i mean theyre great, i love every follower i get, i smile knowing i made a bunch of people happy, and i cry with every reblog i get. but getting that first like is all i need to be happy. nothing more.
the final advice i can give to you is just,,, never compare your writing with other authors and writers. everyone has their own style! don’t get me wrong i can tag so many writers that i admire who all have different ways of writing that i wish i had, but the thing is no matter how much i wish i had their writing, i have to live with mine and i love my style even though i feel that it on the blander side of things! you also can never compare your number of notes to other people LOL of course the super incredible authors of our fandom are going to have 1,924 notes on their 1.7k scenario. why? because they first and foremost have the followers to get that amount and then people who may not follow them can still see it on the popular and read it and like it, or whatever they may do. i currently have like 650 followers so of course im not expecting 1.9k notes on anything im putting out! i mean my first piece had 20 notes for the entire month of august and now im pretty sure its at 100. its all about giving it time and patience.
just write bby and someone will love you for it!!!!!!

hello, hello. i’m back. luckily i got to finish this even though it’s a few days later than the first part. anyways, black day itself should be approaching soon, but i have no idea how it’s actually celebrated as i just looked it up and tweaked it for my own story. lol again, standalone, but i will make an individual post for it to keep it together of sorts once it’s get longer or something like that. anyways, yeah, not really that much going on as the development is underway and the angst bit is just very tiny so i dunno, but i’m sure i’ll be doing some more time skip since i really don’t like to write all that much as i tend to get unmotivated for some reason. anyways, yeah happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~
Black Nighttime was in full swing with the crowd purchasing items with super final prices. Tonight held the speed-dating with three rounds this year and the semi-final jjajangmyeon eating contest. A lounge area to discuss about the lack of intimate relationships or life in general. An arts and crafts booth replaced the shirt design and salon bit. You could also spend time at the solo diner with stuffed animals as a companion, too. The Solo Karaoke was also added to the second part of the Black Day Festival, but of course right after the new addition of the Dark Love Stage with a different name yet same concept.
"Hello, everyone! I'm Holland, and I'll be introducing our dangerous ladies tonight!" Holland greeted the crowd once Nighttime got going.
The crowd cheered as Holland continued to speak.
"If you were here for Daytime, then you must've heard that we added Solo Karaoke and the Black Love Stage today."
The crowd cheered in response.
"Good. Tonight for Nighttime it's no different as we'll do our Dark Love Stage renamed for specifically the night portion first before y'all can sing your to your heart's content with our Solo Karaoke."
Holland looked over at the crowd present for this event as others were also roaming the other area of the gymnasium.
"Anyways, introducing tonight for our Dark Love Stage is the Dark Angels!"
The crowd cheered once more as Holland clapped while looking behind him to see if the quartet were ready to perform.
"Please give a warm welcome to our saviors of the dark night as they lure you in with their luscious voices into darkness!"
Dark Angels stepped onto the makeshift stage with the same outfits from Daytime as Fallen Angels, but had more accessories than before.
"One, two..." Jasmine started as they introduced themselves as a group, "Hello, we're Dark Angels."
Then the quartet introduced themselves with another set of stage names from Katherine, Serena, Melanie, and ending with Jasmine.
"I'm Lady Lilith."
"I'm Lady Hecate."
"I'm Lady Pandora."
"I'm Lady Jezebel."
The crowd tuning in cheered as Jasmine spoke again while shooting Holland a smile.
"Thank you, Holland, for that lovely intro!"
"Great, I expect a lemon cake as a treat, Lady Jezebel."
Holland joked, but nodded firmly.
"Just no carrots whatsoever."
He shot Serena a knowing look as she just smiled at him without responding.
"Okay, will do." Jasmine agreed before looking over the crowd.
"Thank you to those present. Please watch over us kindly. We hope that you enjoy our performances tonight."
The crowd cheered again before Jasmine announced the first song.
"So we're gonna start out a bit strong tonight for the second half of the Black Day Festival and we don't really care if you care about that or not."
Jasmine chuckled before continuing shortly afterwards.
"Despite the title and lyrics this song goes out to anyone that's talking smack about the person they broke up with. Stop. Enjoy, Dirty Boy."
Once again, Kyle cued just as the first note hit did Katherine began singing. When the song came to and end, Katherine spoke.
"Now we're doing a one-eighty and slowing it down with the next song, GHOST."
Katherine introduced the second song.
"For those that wished someone could just disappear from your life like you've never met, this is for you."
The quartet rotated positions as Melanie began singing with the other girls following with their assigned parts after. After GHOST ended it was Serena that spoke next.
"Oh, wow. That got me in the feels."
Serena chuckled at her words as she got back on track.
"Despite the lyrics and the title of the next song, Another Boy, don't keep someone around if you don't love them anymore while still pursuing another person. You'll cause that person to not believe and just leaving them in tears."
As the song began Dark Angels got into formation as they had rearranged the original dance routine to fit their own while Katherine sang first followed by the rest in their assigned lines. When the last note ended did Jasmine speak.
"Alright, the next song is 1,2,3. This is dedicated those to forget the person you're hung up on. Y'all are strangers now. Forget them and go live your life."
The original choreography was rearrange to fit the quartet as Dark Angels again enjoyed themselves. Melanie introduced the next song after taking a slight break.
"Keeping up with this pace, Domino Game is next! It's towards those to quit playing games as people can get hurt and tired from them."
Dark Angels once again got into formation. Katherine started the song and followed by the rest. When the song ended did Katherine speak.
"Hope everyone has enjoyed our performances so far!"
The let out loud cheers before Katherine introduced the third to last song.
"Alright, this sixth song, The Reason I Became A Witch, is dedicated to those that became spiteful because of someone. Enjoy!"
Dark Angels got into formation with Jasmine and Serena doing the narration before Melanie actually started out the song. After that, Serena spoke to informed them of their second to last song.
"Seriously though, thank you guys so much for watching us perform for you. Unfortunately, we have two more songs to perform for you.
The crowded booed in response as the four chuckled before Serena spoke again once it quieted down.
"Yeah, I know, but that's life. Anyways, our second to last song, THANK U VERY MUCH, is dedicated to anyone who was grateful for the other person upon leaving their life without a hassle. Please enjoy!"
Dark Angels had fun with this performance as they were more playful with the choreography. Melanie sang first followed by the rest. Jasmine announced their last song as Dark Angels.
"It's the last song now, but don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear from us again Anyways, please give a big applause to Holland who also solo this Black Nighttime event himself. As well as Kyle and Haru like always. Also to the rest of those that helped make Black Day Festival a hit!"
The crowded clapped loudly and cheered while Jasmine looked at the three as they nodded. She returned her attention back to the audience.
"One, two..." Jasmine began with the other three joining in to finish the rest, "This was Dark Angels! Thank you!"
"Alright," Jasmine spoke one last time, "We're ending this differently than our last song! It's Over! This just goes out to those that just stopped having feelings and erased the other person from their life without a care."
Serena sang first followed by everyone else in their assigned parts. When the song ended Holland came onto the stage shortly afterwards.
"Please give Dark Angels a round of applause for their magnificent stages." He said excitedly while clapping heartily.
Holland cast the quartet an appreciated look as he motioned for them that they could leave. The girls bowed again as Holland resumed to the Solo Karaoke. The quartet hurriedly left to change outfits so that they could be ready for the second round of the Speed Date.
"Good evening, everyone. Sorin and I are proud to announce that our second round of the Speed Date is actually a very special one unlike our previous one." Liyin announced with Sorin continuing afterwards.
"Yes, just like Liyin mentioned, the second round is special because we have the lovely Nu Chi Theta members joining us."
A majority of the crowd cheered upon hearing one of the popular fraternity joining in as participants.
"Should I be worried?" Serena commented to the other three.
"No idea." Melanie responded just as confused.
"Oh, I'm excited." Jasmine exclaimed as Katherine rolled her eyes in good-nature.
"I wonder why. But seriously, the girls didn't tell us this."
"Neither did Seoljun." Serena remarked with a frown.
Katherine then chuckled.
"Sooner or later we were bound to run into them."
"Shut up."
Melanie nudged her sister.
"Stop running away."
"I'll do whatever I want. By the way, I'm giving out a fake name since I've been quite a lot so far."
"Ohh, I'm going to do that, too." Katherine agreed with an excited face. "That's a great idea."
"Why would you two wanna do that for?" Jasmine asked while giving them a weird look. "What if y'all make a connection?"
"I don't want to though." Serena answered as Katherine shrugged.
"I just think it'll be fun."
Melanie laughed with a nod.
"I think so, too."
Jasmine cast her friend a look.
"So you're gonna go with a fake name, too?"
"Might as well. You?"
"I dunno. What if Johnny's there?"
"Then use your real name with Johnny and a fake name with the others you're not interested in." Serena suggested.
"Oh, I can, can't I?"
"Yes."
They continued to listen as Sorin and Liyin explained that the second round would have the Nu Chi Theta members sitting and the participants rotating this time around.
"Hi. I'm Park Sieun." Serena introduced herself with the intended fake name while not paying attention to the person after rotating.
"I'm pretty sure you're name is Serena."
Serena heard the male corrected as she looked at him and was surprised to see Johnny in front of her.
"Oh, Johnny. Hi."
"Hello to you, too. Surprised?" Johnny greeted with a laugh.
"Um, yeah."
She looked about their surrounding wondering if Jasmine had taken notice before focusing on Johnny again when she remembered that she couldn't see any of the other three from where she sat since they ended up being separated by different numbers.
"So what brings you to the Speed Date?"
Johnny began the small talk.
"The Student Council President."
"Oh?"
Johnny was intrigued as he leaned closer.
"Tell me more, Serena."
"Um," Serena stalled not sure what to tell him.
"I had nothing really to do and Gina thought I could help out as a last resort kind of thing."
Serena shrugged nonchalantly before questioning him.
"What about you?
"Just here to meet new people and some fraternity duties."
"I see. Is that why Nu Chi Theta is participating?"
"Yeah, something like that. By the way, since I got you here..."
Serena's eyebrow quirked up as she awaited for what Johnny wanted to ask.
"It's about your friend, Jasmine."
Serena eyed him suspiciously causing Johnny to laugh.
"Whoa, whoa. I just wanna know some things about her."
"She's participating in this so you could just find out when you're paired up with her later."
"Yeah, but it's a wait and why not learn some things about her from her friends before I reach her."
Serena regarded the male and thought she'll help out her friend even though she tried not to meddle in other people's personal life.
"Okay. What do you wanna know?"
Johnny shot her the giddiest look and wondered if she should worry or not. Instead she chuckled as Johnny asked questions in regards to Jasmine while giving him vague answers. Serena wasn't sure how to answer and hoped that Jasmine would clarify everything later. Liyin soon announced that their two minutes were up and for the participants to rotate to their next table.
"I guess I'll have to ask the other two or herself whenever I reach them." Johnny commented as Serena agreed. "I guess so. Good luck."
"Thanks."
Serena waved goodbye as she watched him moving on and silently let out a breath wondering if she could even handle the rest of the second round as they were all Nu Chi Theta members, but so far she only spoke with those she didn't know.
"Oh, Shotaro, hi. You're in this, too?" Melanie asked when he plopped himself into the seat across from her a moment later.
Shotaro cast her a shy smile with a nod.
"Yeah."
"How is it going for you so far?"
"It's a little overwhelming, but it's fun. I'm learning a lot although I still get a bit nervous"
"Aww, glad to know and yeah that happens a lot. If it makes you feel better, I get nervous, too."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
"So," Shotaro began with a sheepish look, "Are you nervous about speaking with a certain someone later down the line?."
"Who told you that?""
Melanie eyed him suspiciously as he laughed sheepishly.
"Ten mentioned something before this whole thing started."
"Wow. He really has a big mouth. Anyways, ignore what he told you, okay?"
Shotarto nodded with laugh as Melanie asked him a question.
"So what are you doing after this?"
"I wanted to try out the food. I heard you can pick out whatever stuffed animal to dine with."
"Oh yes, you can. There's different sizes! I want to sit with the biggest one."
Shotaro's eyes widened with excitment.
"Really? Wouldn't it take up to much space?"
"Nah. I'm sure you can just stuff it in since it's fluffy."
The two continued to talk until the alarm rang for the participants to rotate.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!" Sorin and Liyin announced once the last rotation ended.
"You'll find out your results in the next day or two." Liyin informed the group. "We'll e-mail your match and hope that all of y'all work out!"
"And if not," Sorin interjected with a smile, "Then we hope that you guys can be friends or try again next time."
"So thank you for participating." Liyin thanked them once more as Sorin announced the third round.
"We hope everyone for the third round are here and that we can get it started soon. And no, it's not a special round. Sorry."
Meanwhile the quartet finally met up with one another as they discussed their time during the Speed Date.
"I think this year is looking out for me or something, but I had a great conversation with Johnny." Jasmine stated with an excited tone.
"I would hope so because he can actually tell you and I apart." Katherine mused with a knowing look. "I can't believe he participated."
"Me either, but I hope we match."
"I think you guys should." Melanie assured. "He did ask about you when he was with me."
"Oh, me too." Serena confirmed. "It was kinda weird, but if you guys don't match then what's gonna happen?"
"To give up and move on." Jasmine said with a defeated tone before brightening up a moment later. "If not, then we can I guess be friends first and maybe work from there, yeah?"
"True." The three chorused before Serena looked over at Katherine.
"What about you? Did you have a nice conversation with Taeil?"
"Yes. It was quite pleasant, but two minutes is pretty short and we were into our conversation that we didn't notice until one of his members told us. Although like speaking with any Nu Chi Theta member could be nerve-wracking as everyone wants to associate themselves with them."
"Very true." Melanie agreed before nudging her sister.
"Too bad you're crush wasn't there."
"Thank goodness and crush is a store word." Serena said in a relieved tone. "Anyways, y'all can't tease me anymore."
"Neither was yours." Jasmine commented a moment later. "I really wanted to discreetly tell the both of them about y'all."
"I'm pretty sure Ten did that already." Melanie remarked. "Shotaro said so during our talk."
The quartet continued talking and started discussing what they wanted to do or to split up again like they did earlier in the day.
"And there we go." Serena spoke to herself as she tied the ends of the elastic strings of the beaded bracelet she had just made.
"Ooh, that's pretty. Is it for the little girl that you tutor?" Jasmine asked once she had completed her own bracelet.
"Yeah. She really loves rainbow-like things."
Serena admired the colorful shapes along with the name she had spelt within it. Serena wore the bracelet and slightly frown with a chuckle.
"It's a bit bigger than I thought, but she should grow into it. She has time for that."
"True. C'mon, let's go check out the merch booth and see what they have left over.
"Oh, good idea. Maybe I could buy, Yeojin, some other things."
The pair left the area after bidding goodbye to Seoljun and Seolhwa. While wandering the pair ran into another set of friends, but unfortunately, Serena had made the other person spill food onto themselves.
"I am so sorry." Serena apologized and realized it was Ten and Johnny she and Jasmine had ran into.
Jasmine squeezed Serena's arm upon acknowledging who the other pair was and Serena had to pat her friend to calm down. Then she realized that the bracelet she had wore and made for Yeojin was missing.
"Oh, no. I lost the bracelet."
"I'll help you look for it, Serena! Jasmine can help Johnny clean himself up." Ten offered as he ushered himself and Serena away leaving the other two behind.
Jasmine slightly panicked, but relaxed when she heard Johnny speak to her.
"Hey, it's not a big deal. I wasn't looking where I was going either."
The pair slowly conversed not even minding that the other two had rushed off.
"Good bluff. That should help those two out better." Ten commented as Serena shot him a confused look.
"What bluff?"
"About the bracelet going missing."
"It wasn't a bluff."
"What do you mean?"
"Ten. I really lost the bracelet."
"Oh. Um, I'll help you find it for real then."
Serena sighed, but she backtracked with an unhelpful Ten.
Melanie happily sat across from a giant mint green hippopotamus with Katherine sitting at another table across from a two-tone brown lion with both of them eating a strawberry brick toast and drinking a large dragon-fruit milk tea.
"This is so good." Katherine commented while looking over at Melanie. "Jiyoon and Jihan were right to go with this."
"I know right. It's a lot better than I thought it would be."
"How are y'all liking it?"
The pair looked up to see a familiar face.
"Oh, Soeun, it's delicious." Katherine responded with a thumbs up. "Jihan and Jiyoon were right about it."
"And the dragon-fruit?" Soeun probed further
"Delicious. You were right about the taste, too." Melanie replied with an O.K. sign. "It's gonna be my new fave when y'all start selling it."
"Of course I am. Anyways, I'm here about something else."
"About what?" The duo chorused as they continued eating their dessert.
Soeun glanced over shoulder before focusing on the pair again.
"Someone wants to join you, Melanie."
"This is a solo diner. Besides, Hank the Hippo is already dining with me."
Melanie motioned to the plush doll as Soeun laughed.
"You named him?"
"Of course. Can't enjoy my meal if I don't know the other person's name."
Melanie looked over at Katherine.
"Right?"
"Yup."
Katherine motioned at the plushie before her.
"Leon the Lion."
"Wow. And I thought only Serena named things."
"That's where we got it from because she has a similar, but smaller one at home." Melanie answered.
"I see, but are you sure you don't want to know who it is that wants to join you."
Melanie shook her head, but Katherine shot Soeun an amused look.
"Sure because I know that you're dying to tell her who it is."
Soeun happily leaned closer to the two while gazing at Melanie.
"Do you wanna guess before telling you?"
"No."
"Oh, you're no fun."
Soeun glanced over her shoulder again and Melanie looked over, but wasn't sure who it could be.
"Well, he said his name is Jimmy."
Melanie' frowned upon hearing the familiar name.
"Yeah, no thanks, Soeun."
"Oh. He said he's a good friend of yours."
"He's not."
"Oh, really? He seemed pretty persistent, but I'll let him know that you're not interested."
"Thanks."
"You're welcome."
Soeun walked away as Katherine looked over at her friend.
"Isn't that the guy that dumped you for another person that he was already cheating with?"
"Yup."
"The nerve of that guy."
"I know."
The pair were about to get back to their respective meal when another hand slapped Melanie's table to get her attention.
"You got some nerve rejecting me." Jimmy stated with a harsh tone.
Melanie glanced at him indifferently while Katherine watched for now.
"And you got some nerve talking to me again after what you did."
Melanie motioned with her head for him to leave her alone.
"The exit is that way and I don't have to converse with you."
Just then Jimmy wiped Melanie's table clean as the items shattered to the floor. Melanie pushed back her chair, stood up, and backed away from the male when suddenly two other people appearing in front of her to protect her. Katherine immediately moved to stand besides Melanie when Jimmy pushed the dishes off the table as the pair watched Taeil, Shotaro, and Sungchan come to Melanie's aid.
"I don't think that was necessary now, don't you think?" Taeil asked with a firm tone towards Jimmy.
"That's such a waste for you to have done that." Sungchan added before motioning towards the exit.
"I believe you were on your way out. Correct?"
It was not a suggestion that Sungchan was giving him as his tone wasn't nice sounding as Taeil did the same.
"Yeah, weren't you just leaving now?"
Shotaro also gave the male a once over while glancing at Melanie before returning his gaze onto Jimmy.
"I'm sure Melanie would be most comfortable without your presence as well."
Jimmy's jaw tightened as he glanced at the three males before sweeping his eyes over to Melanie. He huffed and stormed off.
"Are you okay?" The trio asked Melanie a moment after.
"Yeah, just a little shaky now. Thank you though." She thanked before looking at the mess which was quickly taken care of by Soeun.
"I'm so sorry, Melanie." Soeun apologized after cleaning up. "I thought he was fine when I told him you didn't want to see him, but I guess he got around another way."
"It's fine, Soeun. It's not your fault. Thank you though."
"No worries. I'll be back with another set for you."
"No, it's fine. I'm not that hungry anymore."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. Thanks again."
"You're welcome. Katherine?"
"I'm good, too. Thanks, Soeun."
Soeun cast them another apologetic look before walking off as Katherine comforted her friend.
"I swear, this month is not a good month for you or Serena."
"I know right."
"So, do you wanna get food afterwards?"
"Probably."
"Actually you could have some of ours." Sungchan offered as Shortaro smiled.
"Yeah, we haven't touched it yet."
"Oh, yeah. We actually ordered more than the two of us could eat."
Taeil shot them a friendly smile with Shotaro nodding.
"The fluffy animals can't help us either."
Melanie chuckled.
"I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be a solo dining and not a get-together of sorts."
Melanie reminded them although she knew that Katherine low-key wanted to sit together. Melanie then pointed at the hippopotamus and lion.
"Besides, Hank the Hippo and Leon the Lion may get jealous if we sat with another."
The males chuckled as they immediately moved a plate and glass over to Melanie's table.
"We wouldn't want that now. So how about this instead?"
"That's fine."
"Well, the two of you enjoy your night."
The males cast the females a polite smile as they returned to their table while Melanie shot Katherine a look. Katherine shot her a knowing look, but the two went back to their own respective table. Melanie enjoyed her now honey brick toast and a cotton candy milk tea with Hank the Hippo as Katherine did the same with Leon the Lion. Later that night the quartet helped cleaned up after the Black Nighttime while telling one another about their night. Serena eventually found the bracelet after clean-up and still deny the fact to Katherine that their lives were a drama series awaiting to happen.

Rules: Post the last sentence you wrote and tag as many people as there are words!
I was tagged by @cassidy-alice. Oh, thank you so much! (I'm assuming this is meant for fanfic writers, right?) I'm ALMOST FINISHED with my "Call the Midwife" Katara-centric fanfic, just gotta write two different parts to connect them to the scenes in the end. And, hopefully, I'll post it on Friday (I don't think I'm gonna finish it tonight and am too tired to proofread, I wanna do that with a clear head tomorrow)! Anyways, here's the last sentence I wrote yesterday:
"When Katara entered the ward, she saw that Iniko was resting alone in one of the beds, no other mothers were around."
Tagging: (Yeah, I'm not gonna tag 22 people *lol*, I'm gonna tag 2 + 2 = 4) @chel-burr @hailkuvira @kataracy @obbsessedturtle
