✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ��

THE AIR WAS filled with the sweet scent of pine and cinnamon, instantly putting you in a festive mood as soon as you arrived today. Soft, twinkling lights adorn the walls and windows, casting a warm and inviting glow throughout the space. Throughout the apartment, the sound of classic Christmas tunes plays softly in the background.

The kitchen, where all three of you stood, was pure chaos. Bowls varying sizes are strewn across the countertops, each bearing the remnants of different stages of the baking process. A mixing bowl, its sides smeared with sticky remnants of cookie dough, sits next to a flour-dusted measuring cup. Multiple trays of already baked cookies, sat cooling atop the stove. It truly was a mess.

“Papa! Vous ne pouvez pas manger ça!” You can’t eat those! She exclaimed in fits of laughter. Her face was absolutely covered in ingredients. No doubt from sneaking licks of cookie dough and frosting when she thought that nobody was looking. Flour coated her hands and arms, and some had found its way to her rosy cheeks.

“Ils sont pour le Père Noël!” They’re for Santa! You agreed with her. Swatting him with one of the Christmas themed hand towels that was nearby, before returning to decorating the cookies that lay in front of you.

Charles emitted a resounding gasp, skillfully weaving of feigned anguish. His reaction unfolded with a theatrical flair; a symphony of emotion portrayed through a dramatic hand gesture that traversed the journey of his fist to his chest. It mimicked the palpable sensation of being struck, an artful display of simulated injury. “Un autre homme reçoit tout cela?” Another man gets all of these?

With an indulgent smile, you playfully orchestrate a slow, deliberate roll of your eyes in response to his theatrics. Unfazed by the charming display, you redirect your attention solely to the task at hand – meticulously adorning the remaining cookies with festive embellishments. The ambiance in the room becomes a delightful blend of shared amusement as you all work hard finishing them all.

Charles soon excused himself to his bedroom to gather a call regarding some car testing that happened earlier this week.

As you were on the verge of releasing a hearty sigh, ready to vocalize your exhaustion, your attention diverted to the drowsy four-year-old near you. Her delicate features were gently pressed against the countertop, closed in the embrace of slumber. A wave of endearment washed over you. Suppressing a giggle, you marveled at the sheer adorableness of the scene, momentarily setting aside your fatigue to savor the precious sight before you.

Tenderly, you gathered her into your arms, cradling her like a precious bundle. With each careful step echoed through the familiar path leading to her room, where the soft glow of ambient light revealed the traces of a day well spent.

Arriving at her bed, you marveled at the cherubic expression on her face. Softly, you attempted to wipe away the remnants of flour that adorned her tiny arms and face, a silent acknowledgment of the shared joy in the day’s baking escapade. Deciding that it was best to let her sleep than to wake her to bathe her now. The sheets could always be washed later. In that quiet moment, you sat on the floor beside her bed, just smiling at her. The room became a sanctuary, where the gentle act of care echoed the love woven into the fabric of the night.

Unbeknownst to you, Charles stood silently in the doorway, quietly observing the intimate scene before him. A swell of emotion gripped his heart as he beheld the tender scene – there you were, alongside his daughter, the warmth of familial connection radiating from your shared moments. In that unspoken exchange, a poignant desire filled his heart, longing for the sense of family that seemed to effortlessly bloom in your presence. His heart was full of want for you.

“Sugar crash?” His voice, soft and unexpected, caught you off guard, prompting an instinctive flinch. As you turned your head, you found Charles slowly approaching, his tall figure standing gracefully behind where you were seated. His captivating green eyes remained fixed on you, their beauty holding a silent intensity, never once wavering from your presence.

“Oui,” you softly smiled. “Je devrais aller nettoyer,” I should go clean up. You stood to your feet as Charles pressed a soft kiss to his sleeping girl and brushed her hair out of her face.

Back in the kitchen, it truly looked like a tornado had hit the room. Standing amidst the culinary chaos, you contemplated where to even begin when, suddenly, a pair of hands playfully seized your waist, diverting your attention.

“Tu me rends fou,” You drive me crazy.

His lips pressed softly into the swell of your neck, his tongue pressing against your cookie batter covered skin. “Tellement doux,” So sweet.

Your stomach clenched with butterflies as he spun you around, holding you close to him. Slowly, he brings his index finger to the corner of your mouth, wiping a speck of dough off you and bringing it to your lips.

He doesn’t even need to tell you before your opening your mouth, wrapping your tongue around his finger to lick it off. You stare up at him in the process, witnessing the color of his eyes darken as you release his finger with a ‘pop’.

“Je te rends toujours folle?” Still drive you crazy?

You observed the Adam’s apple in his neck bobbing with a pronounced gulp. The veins in his neck stood out prominently, evidence of his teeth being clenched.

You slowly made your way to your knees, trailing your hands down his body, feeling his taut muscles through the confines of his sweatpants. You skillfully looped your fingers into his waistband, pulling them down to free his hard length. Not too far away, was some spare cookie dough on the island of the kitchen. To which, you reached one arm up and grabbed, spreading some of it onto him, a smirk graced your lips as you heard him groan.

“Mon dieu,” My God. He physically had to lean forward, hunching over you, in order to grip the kitchen counter top as soon as your tongue met him.

You moaned at the taste of him and the cookie dough.

He half-chuckled as his hips bucked further into your mouth, chasing after his pleasure. He inhaled sharply, trying to relax, but you were eager and adamant on getting him there. You were so so so eager to please him.

Your hand gripped him, collecting the spit on your fingers, spreading it all over his hot skin, while you suckled gently at his sensitive tip.

“Mmm, fuck,” He couldn’t get full words out as you sunk him deeper into your mouth, his tip scraping the walls of your throat. The burning in his stomach was rising as he watched you eagerly take every inch of him. You moaned at the taste of him, the vibrations pushing him even closer to the edge.

His face was completely flushed now as you bobbed up and down, essentially choking on him. Keeping your voice down, you pulled off of him again.

“Je te veux partout sur ma langue,” Want you all over my tongue. Your whimpery tone sent him over the edge almost instantly.

“Fuck, fuck,” he repeated. The muscles of his arms bulging as he gripped the edge of the countertop tightly. Your eyes were wet with tears, but you were satisfied as he filled your mouth. Your tongue ran over the tip once more, licking up every drop, before he took a step back from you.

You grinned lazily at him as you stood to your feet. His chest was rising and down deeply as he tried to catch his breath.

“Complètement fou,” Fucking crazy. He murmurs, pulling you in for a sweet kiss.

“Il est temps de nettoyer!” Time to clean! You clap your hands together, devious to escape his touch.

But you both know, that he won’t let you off the hook that easily.

☆ pornstar choso! ☆

𝘐, 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳, 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘣𝘺 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘊𝘩𝘰𝘴𝘰 𝘒𝘢𝘮𝘰 𝘧𝘶𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. 𝘐𝘕 𝘞𝘐𝘛𝘕𝘌𝘚𝘚 𝘞𝘏𝘌𝘙𝘌𝘖𝘍, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘕𝘰𝘯-𝘋𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘈𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘋𝘢𝘵𝘦.

pornstar choso who’s just a little fucking weird.

choso seems to be extremely socially awkward when he’s around set. which is a real shame because he’s so.. pretty. he’s standing at a little over 6’4 with broad shoulders and a body carved into perfection, a handsome face with the most gorgeous features— he’s not a conventional kind of attractive but the kind of attractive you get from the art guy who smokes too many cigarettes.

he stands around. not particularly doing anything wrong per se but the way he just idles around with this tiny little water cup in his hand gets a few looks and scratches to the noggin. choso is taller than most people on set so anyone can explicitly see him people watch. usually, the sets are bustling and busy in between scenes. there’s wardrobe personnel, personal assistants, catering, makeup artists and hair stylists frantically working around him and he’s just in the middle of all the chaos with no sense of urgency.

pornstar choso who turns into an absolute beast once the cameras are rolling.

it’s really like a switch in his head flips. choso’s entire demeanor seems to shift into machine designed to fuck and give pleasure. you met him very briefly that same morning and he seemed like a nice guy— awkward but sweet. the scene wasn’t anything crazy in particular; it was a domestic type of affair starring a pining pair who finally give into each other

you can’t count how many times he’s made you cum without trying— but it starts to make you delirious. see, when scenes get really good like this, and both actors are into it as much as they are, it feels like the world around them no longer exists and they’re in their own bubble. they start to go off script and the director typically allows because often times, the method acting and improvising is better than any cheesy lines they get fed from the script. that’s exactly what happened.

choso’s cock is fat just as much as it is long, making it heavy under its own weight. it’s a pretty shade— maybe one or two shades darker than his complexion but when its hard, it’s flushed all over with this pretty mauve color. his actor profile says it’s 9 inches but it feels like its bigger probably because of the way he fucks. choso doesn’t let up in the slightest— you can be twitching, writhing and scratching from the pleasure but if he doesn’t hear an utterance of your safe word, he will not stop. choso switches positions like you’ve never experienced before; you could be in doggy with your back arched at a 90 degree angle then he’s flipping you over like a doll and putting you into a mating press.

pornstar choso who’s confused as to why he prematurely ejaculated because.. that.. never happens.

“cut!” the director calls out before rubbing his eyes with a pinch. “take 30– christine bring me a Valium and a club soda please.”

choso was so embarrassed when it happened— he let out this simple “I’m sorry.” in a low.. almost pained apology before slipping out of you, watching his seed ooze out of you like he disassociated from reality. watching him, watch himself like that.. didn’t feel like he was acting or in character to you. which made you wonder..

it felt.. a little too real for choso and that was something that has always separated work from real life for him. the line was blurred a little too well between the chemistry you and him both had— it took the intimacy to a different level. one he hasn’t had the luxury of experiencing in a very, very long time. in his dressing room he splashed his face with cold water, looking at himself in the mirror before getting a call from you.

“hi.. I just wanted to talk to you in private. you didn’t have to apologize to me back there.. I get it happens, there’s no need to beat yourself up over it, okay? If it makes you feel any better, I think it’s sweet. i’m out on the patio— the weather’s nice if you want to come join me.”

pornstar choso who’s really sweet to his costar even though he’s a bit awkward. he has a crush.

“thank you.. for the talk. I hate to disappoint.” choso says, looking down as he swirls around the cup of ice water in his hand. he finds it hard to keep eye contact with you but doesn’t really understand why. yeah, he’s a little embarrassed but there’s something about you.. his heart is racing and his palms feel clammy. you’re beautiful. “disappoint? kamo are you serious..?” you giggled. oh, did he say something wrong? you have a cute laugh but that’s not the point. what could be funny in this moment? “yeah. i’m serious..” he watches you tilt your head as you look up at him and his cock twitches back to life— just in time too, only 5 minutes left for recess. he notices a white flurry on your hair and he removes it carefully.

“choso.. you were far from a disappointment, sweetheart.. I could barely think straight.” you giggled again, feeling yourself get shy under his gaze. “I’ve been faking it for a long time for the sake of the camera but.. I seriously can’t tell you the last time I’ve came that hard, let alone in a row..” you reached out to caress his face. “Don’t beat yourself up.. you just keep fucking me like that again and again.. got it?”

pornstar choso who thinks he wants to ask out his cute costar but isn’t a fan of rejection.

high risk, high reward. choso has attempted to date outside his profession but it’s always failed. it’s not hard finding a woman he’s attracted to but getting them to stay after they find out he’s in sex work is the part that always seems to fall through. if they’re not scared off during the first week then once he actually has to go to work, it’s more than likely followed up with a “I don’t think I can do this.”

choso has never once blamed any of his hookups for their discomfort because he’s quite understanding. he knows himself that he would probably have a hard time too if he had just been a “regular” guy and never dated anyone who was in sex work. that requires a certain level of maturity, understanding and communication for that to work.

he asks you out once filming is finished and everything is wrapped up. you’re sitting in a plush robe in a director’s chair sipping on a juice box, swinging your feet back and forth as you scroll on your phone. there’s a cute smile on your face, your cheeks flushed and hair a little bit messy. you notice his presence before he says anything and he just kind of.. word vomits before you can greet him. “can I take you out.” sounds more like a statement than a proposal but you smile at him anyway.

pornstar choso who’s pleasantly surprised when you say yes.

“i’d really love that.. pick me up tomorrow at 6pm?” he’s surprised to say the least, he didn’t think you’d agree but he definitely didn’t expect you to initiate when. regardless, choso is excited. the social media platforms will be thrilled to hear their favorite adult actors are dating— eventually, it makes more sense to start an Onlyfans than it does to work under a company.

Time for a pretty obscure character, it’s Miss Martine! In the Rodier version of Alph-Art everyone is incredibly 70s, while I love 70s fashion I thought I’d do my own design of her that’s rooted in the 30s. I was very much inspired by Miss Lemon from ITV’s Poirot.

Tintin absolutely needs some female friends, and friends that are more his age. I can imagine Martine, Chang and Tintin forming a chaotic trio and tearing up Brussels!

Martine is left in a predicament after her former employer was murdered. The case of his death may have been solved and her name may have been cleared, but she is now left in unemployment during an economic depression.

She reluctantly goes to Tintin for help; things are a little awkward as he previously turned her down when she asked him out at the end of the last case. At Marlinspike she meets Chang who is just moving into his room, and she bumps into Ramo Nash, an artist who worked with the art gallery she was formerly employed at. Nash has been secretly seeing Captain Haddock so has been around Marlinspike more frequently.

Nash informs her of a new exhibition he’s working on at the Museum of Art and History and suggests she applies to work there as a curator. Chang helps break the awkward tension, leaving Martine intrigued about Tintin’s friend from Shanghai.

Martine decides to follow Nash’s advice and applies for work at the museum. Chang and Tintin tag along as Tintin wants to show Chang around the city. Before the interview Martine has a panic attack - Chang manages to calm her down and gives her encouragement. She later gets the job and quickly forms a friendship with Chang, the two often going out in the evening to dance at local jazz bars and dance halls.

In between cases the three of them meet up to hang out. Tintin isn’t used to spending time with his peers so is a little socially awkward. He also still feels guilty for accusing Martine of murdering her former employee, as well as for not reciprocating any feelings for her.

To smooth things out and to thank Chang for his help Martine decides to invite them to the museum’s archive for a behind-the-scenes tour, before Chang is due to return to Shanghai to see his family for the Lunar New Year. Chang’s excitement quickly turns cold when he sees artefacts that have been stolen through colonial force. He quietly laments to Tintin, who impulsively decides to steal an ancient Chinese whistle to return it to its place of origin.

The museum descends into chaos. Nash’s exhibition is cancelled. There is a huge police investigation. Martine is a prime suspect yet again. Tintin is, suspiciously, missing. She and Chang work together to track him down to clear her name. Rather conveniently, Tintin turns up in China having “retrieved” the missing whistle, but when she inspects it closely she can tell it’s a fake. She confronts Tintin about this, but Tintin tells her if it becomes known the real whistle is gone she may lose her job. Martine is horrified at his betrayal.

She decides to stay quiet but cuts ties with Tintin. She remains friends with Chang but warns him to be careful, and not to get too close to Tintin or his work.

Go take a look at this beautiful trove of old SparkSound magazines someone is selling on eBay. For the price they might as well be made out of gold, but the seller's been nice enough to take big, largely readable photos of so many of the issues. Is there a similar digital hoard of scanned versions? I'd love to see more! (I've seen photo pages in full but only snippets of the rest.) The absolute like... raw, sloppy, fanzine chaos of these as as official publications from a major label band is blowing my fucking mind, even if it is just for the fan club. It's literally their mom cutting and pasting and cramming mentions from both Melody Maker and TV Guide onto an A3 sheet of paper, layouts be damned. The apostrophe on her typewriter is broken for a couple issues but she carries on with an asterisk. She's also around 60 by this point and banging this out to an audience of hundreds or thousands like it's a local Kiwanis club newsletter. But she's doing it with gusto, by gum, and it's punk as hell. The best thing about it is that the lack of style is made up for by the absolute top-tier access to the band, and her being surprisingly on top of pertinent details.

For those of you who weren't in a fandom before the internet, those behind-the-scenes photos were like your favorite band's proof of life. There was no Instagram or Twitter, or anything that proved they existed between national TV appearances and touring in your area (besides those mentions in Melody Maker anyway). If you were lucky, your fandom had the capacity to trade videotapes and people in Scranton could see local TV appearances in Los Angeles and vice-versa. If you were really lucky they weren't all copies of copies with potato quality sound and video. Likewise, if you wanted the 12" extended European dance mix of a song with a B-side unavailable in the US, you had to either special order it somewhere and pay through the nose, hope it was in the imports section of a record store (and still pay through the nose), or you had to trade cassettes or burned CDs and hope the other person didn't flake on you. The fact that she's saying "Don't go running to the import section yet, the single will be out on ____ record label on this date with this track listing" is WAY more info than we usually got from our official sources. All "Mary Martin" needed to do for exclusive content was take pictures of her sons on vacation. On one page she's absolutely dunking on Russell them in wry cut-and-paste captions and on another she is the perfect hype man, telling people shows at The Greek Theater are gonna sell out so get your tickets early (but hold your horses on travelling- they're working on Japanese dates for September so you may not need to fly to the US). The personal thank-yous! The CARE! *slams fist on table* If any other band had their mom as the head of their fan club it'd be the most contrived shit in the universe, a complete lie, or both. I fucking love these guys.

#sparks #sparks band #Like…even the seminal punk rock fanzine Slash was typeset #And Mary over here is taking care of business between games of canasta #be quiet an old hipster is speaking #i'm a part time sparks blog now

#THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING#he also has a group of wine mom friends#who he absolutely hates but he keeps meeting up with because their kids are so inferior to his#and he loves bragging#“i'm sure your proud of your son for winning that wrestling tournament sharon”#“my eldest legally cannot compete because he'd KILL yours”#always showing off mikey's art on his phone#he doesn't know how scanning works and is terrible at photos so each one is blurry#when donnie wins his first nobel prize he is INSUFFERABLE

@thedawningofthehour please~ give me more ideas.

I'm a firm believer that Casy jr. is a science baby, in the movie the kid redirected a frigging MISSILE with just his hands! either the kid drank a liter of supersoldier serum or it was made in a lab. and I'm leaning towards the second.

In any case, Draxum will be a very happy grandpa. I also wanted to add a scene of the family attending casey's preschool play, but i'm tired, casey's cute performance as a carnivorous plant will have to wait until next time.

(10) 409 days: indigo purple

Myoui Mina x reader

Part of the series: Palette

Previous chapter: (9) 626 days: phthalo green

409 days.

Mina has been on tour for the past three months, and initially, communication between you two was going well. She would always find time to call and express how much she missed you, and even arrange virtual dates with you. However, lately, she's been forgetting to return your calls.

You knew she was busy, but it's disheartening to see that Ryujin manages to maintain consistent contact with Karina and even with you, while Mina seems to have forgotten about you. You know you're not officially dating, so you can't really hold it against her.

But these circumstances have led you to question the validity of the months you spent together. The reminder of her presence on the bed feels like a distant memory, and even the scent of her on her sweaters is fading away. Is this what love is always like? Constantly dwelling in uncertainty, questioning your worthiness for someone else's affection?

It's an anguishing thought, leaving you wondering if this is how it will always be—forever trapped in a cycle of doubt and longing, never truly knowing where you stand with the person you care about.

You chose to fully immerse yourself in work and take care of Haerin, who had been under immense stress due to her preparations for the college entrance exams. She would spend nights at cram schools and wouldn't return home until midnight. Haerin had a passion for studying arts, much like you and Karina, but her parents exerted significant control over her future. They forced her to quit her internship and enrolled her in cram schools for every subject. Witnessing Haerin constantly on the verge of exhaustion filled you with unceasing worry.You found it truly perplexing how the education system in this country placed such an enormous amount of pressure on young students, expecting them to have their entire lives planned out by the age of 17.

Which was why, you and your team borrowed the studio on a Saturday morning at eight am. Together, you were decorating the room with balloons, preparing a surprise birthday party for the younger girl. She had been feeling under the weather for quite some time, and you wanted to lift her spirits. You even invited the Le Sserafim girls to join in, as you had grown closer to them in the previous months. Haerin was naturally shy and struggled to make friends at school, so you were incredibly grateful that the group had shown such patience with her. You were particularly glad that Eunchae had managed to help Haerin come out of her shell a little bit.

The party was a result of Mina's absence. She had promised Haerin to take her to Lego Land for her birthday but called three days prior to cancel. This left the younger girl extremely disappointed, and a heated argument between you and Mina ensued. The fight ended badly, with you crying and Mina hanging up the phone in frustration, resulting in absolutely no contact between the two of you for two days. However, you were accustomed to the silence; it usually took the idol four to five days to call you back anyway.

It was a good thing that Yunjin had a back up plan: a frog themed party.

Decorated with countless frog balloons and confetti, the studio was starting to look somewhat presentable after four hours of hard work. You had left to pick up Haerin from her weekend cram school classes, which you thought was absurd to make a child go to class during the weekends, but her parents had insisted on signing her up. The younger girl hummed contently in the front seat of your car, gazing out the window at the droplets of rain on the windowpane from the soft drizzle outside.

When the elevator dinged and the doors opened to the studio floor, it was a scene of utter chaos. Before either of you could register what was happening, the lights suddenly switched on, illuminating the vibrant space. Haerin was swiftly yanked out of the elevator, greeted by a flurry of activity. A purple party hat adorned her head, and pineapple-designed sunglasses were hastily placed on her face. Without warning, she was whisked away, lifted onto Ryujin's back, and paraded around the studio in a whirlwind of excitement.

"Move out of the way, move out of the way!" Ryujin shouted, laughing at the terrified Haerin on her back. "Toddler coming through!"

The rest of the crowd joined in with laughter and enthusiastic cheers, thoroughly enjoying the lighthearted moment. However, their amusement came to an abrupt halt when Ryujin inadvertently collided with a wall, causing her to lose her grip and drop the birthday girl onto the floor.

You were surprised to see Ryujin here,considering how packed their schedules were during the world tour.. Taking a quick survey of the room, a wave of gratitude washed over you for those who made it to celebrate Haerin's special day. The entire team was present, along with Ryujin and Yeji, the Le Sserafim girls, some of Haerin's cousins, and unexpectedly... Chaeyoung?

The presence of the TWICE member caught you off guard, and your heart skipped a beat at the possibility that Mina might have came with her. Your eyes locked with Chaeyoung's, and she offered a smile tinged with sadness, resembling more of a grimace. However, before you could approach the lone idol, warm hands wrapped around your waist, pulling you into a tight embrace from behind. The familiar and dearly missed scent of soft florals enveloped you, momentarily causing your mind to go blank.

"I missed you," Mina whispered, nuzzling her face into the back of your neck, seeking solace in your embrace.

Although the comfort of her arms felt familiar and tempting, you gently pulled away to meet her gaze.

"What are you doing here?" The memories of your previous fight echoed in your mind, causing a touch of coldness to seep into your voice.

Mina's expression fell, recognizing the bitterness in your tone. She was well aware of the hurtful words she had uttered during that argument, words she didn't truly mean.

"I'm sorry. I wanted to see you and Haerin," she confessed, her head hanging low as guilt washed over her entire being.

"Do you?" you questioned, a mix of annoyance and lingering affection playing within your heart. "You mentioned how I was too 'clingy,' if I recall correctly."

Mina vehemently shook her head, interjecting before you could finish, and pulled you into a tight embrace. "I'm sorry I said that. I didn't mean it. I was just stressed."

You relented, deciding to let this go for now because you wanted to keep the mood happy for Haerin’s sake.

"We'll talk later," you murmured, placing a soft kiss on her forehead as a symbol of reconciliation.

The brunette idol lingered around you for the remainder of the time, but it was evident that she wasn't fully engaged with her surroundings or attentive to your conversation. She kept checking her phone every ten minutes, which annoyed you since she wasn't typically someone who relied heavily on technology unless it involved gaming. Despite feeling irritated, you refrained from pressing her on it, you knew that she was probably busy with work. Pushing your doubt and suspicion to the back of your mind, you tried to appreciate that she at least tried to make an effort in coming here.

As you and Haerin gathered her presents onto the table, Yunjin suddenly embraced both of you, her energetic voice ringing in your ears.

"Hello, my favorite girls!" she singonged with enthusiasm, almost deafening you. "Are you ready for cake?"

Haerin's eyes lit up instantly, causing her to drop the boxes she was holding and nod eagerly.

"Love the attitude," Yunjin chuckled, flashing her infectious smile as she affectionately patted Haerin's head. "I got a froggy-designed cake for our froggy princess."

Before you could respond, an icy voice cut through the air from behind you.

"Who's this?" Mina's gaze bore into Yunjin's arm that was wrapped around your shoulder, prompting the American to quickly retract her hands.

"Mina, this is Yunjin," you sighed, fully aware that an argument was about to erupt.

Yunjin immediately bowed out of respect. "Annyeonghaseyo, Mina sunbaenim."

Mina gave a dismissive nod, her narrowed eyes and tight lips revealing her displeasure.

"I didn't know you two were so close," her tone was sharp, laced with accusation.

You closed your eyes, taking a deep breath. This argument had arisen multiple times during your phone calls. You couldn't understand why Mina was so defensive towards Yunjin, and despite your efforts to reassure her, she continued to harbor doubts.

Sensing the tension, Haerin swiftly chimed in, attempting to lighten the mood.

"Yunjin unnie helps Eunchae and I with our English homework sometimes.”

Yunjin nodded in agreement, offering a gentle smile in an effort to ease the tension.

"I'll go get the cake," Yunjin quickly bowed again and started guiding Haerin toward the kitchen. "It was nice meeting you, Mina sunbaenim."

"Same to you, Yoo-jin," Mina replied coolly.

The brunette idol continued to glare daggers at Yunjin's retreating figure, her eyes filled with animosity.

"Seriously, Mina?" you raised your voice. "That was uncalled for."

"What?" Mina retorted.

"You know her name perfectly well," you responded sharply.

"Well, you seem to know her a bit too well," Mina shot back, her brown eyes burning with anger.

"Are you implying that I'm cheating?" you scoffed.

"I don't know. Are you?" Mina challenged.

You rubbed your forehead in frustration. It pained you to be accused of such a thing, especially when she was the one who never bothered to answer your calls. The ease with which she threw accusations at you without much thought hurt your heart. It was never that simple for Waywards—the bond they shared with their soulmates was unbreakable, and the idea of being with someone else was nearly inconceivable.

"Are you even considering what you're saying right now?" you asked, trying to contain your frustration.

"It's fine. We're not together anyway. Do whatever you want," Mina responded coldly.

You were shocked and stunned by her comment, standing in silence as you looked at the girl you had poured your heart into. Mina refused to back down, but you could see instant regret in her eyes for what she had said. In the midst of the silence, Chaeyoung suddenly appeared, gently pulling you away from Mina by the wrist.

"Let's not do this here. It's Haerin's big day today; let's not ruin it," the messy blonde said, offering you her familiar crooked smile, tinged with sadness in her eyes.

You nodded, softly squeezing Chaeyoung's hand before making your way to the kitchen to help Yunjin and Haerin, trying to hold back the tears that threatened to spill from your eyes.

Though she appeared composed, Chaeyoung was seething with anger. She gestured for her fellow brunette band member to follow her outside.

"You better make up your mind, Mina. Or you'll end up losing everything," Chaeyoung warned sternly.

Mina lowered her head in defeat. "I don't know what to do," she sighed. "There's too much at stake on both sides."

"She deserves better than this. I can see how you treat her," Chaeyoung asserted. She had always been the voice of reason, but she had grown tired of the hot and cold treatment Mina was subjecting you to. She had witnessed your relationship flourish and wither away in a matter of months, and she was determined not to let Mina hurt you, whether they were bandmates or not. "Just tell her the truth."

Mina blinked slowly, her mind racing as she desperately searched for a way out of the situation she had gotten herself into.

Shaking her head at the brooding brunette, Chaeyoung had a sinking feeling that Mina was about to make a foolish decision. But as a friend, the only thing she could do was offer her advice.

The remainder of the party went smoothly, although Mina's attempts to catch your eye were in vain. She wanted to apologize for her rude behavior, knowing full well how deeply she had hurt you today and for the past three months with her indecisiveness.

The image of you throwing your head back in laughter at something Yunjin said pierced Mina's heart like knives. It served as a painful reminder that she was the reason you no longer laughed with her, always settling for silence and anger instead. She couldn't help but feel jealous, but she also recognized that she had no right to express this, especially considering what she would have to do in the future.

Finally, the party came to an end at five, and after a quick clean-up of the studio, you were ready to take Haerin to dinner and call it a day. In order to avoid encountering Mina, you swiftly loaded Haerin's gifts into your car. Despite longing to speak with the idol after all these months, you were not in the mood to engage with her, and you noticed her and Chaeyoung lingering behind, hoping to catch your attention.

Before you could close the trunk of your car, Mina and Chaeyoung appeared beside you, startling you.

"Hey, birthday girl," Chaeyoung called out to the younger blonde. "Are you free tonight?"

Haerin looked at them with confusion, then glanced at you, to which you simply shrugged.

"I thought you had a concert tomorrow," Haerin responded, a hint of disappointment still lingering in her voice.

"We'll fly back tomorrow morning, don't worry," Mina reassured her. "Would you like to go to the carnival with me? I want to make up for our canceled Lego Land trip."

Haerin's ears perked up at the mention of the carnival, as she loved going there for the games. She hesitated for a moment before nodding, taking Mina's outstretched hand.

Satisfied with the apology, Haerin bounded over for a hug. As you stood there, a pang of envy washed over you. It seemed so effortless for them to resolve their issues, while with you and Mina, it was always a tumultuous cycle of heated arguments and icy silence. You no longer understood the idol, and you couldn't help but feel that she no longer needed you.

Sighing, you closed the trunk of your car and directed your words to Chaeyoung and Mina (more like to only Chaeyoung because you refused to look at Mina), “Please have her back by 10, she has classes tomorrow.”

Mina's disappointment was evident in her shining eyes as she asked, "You're not coming?"

You shook your head, firmly stating, "I have something to do."

"Jagi..." Mina's voice softened as she cautiously inched closer to you, as if approaching a wild animal that might startle at any moment.

Your heart lurched at her touch on your skin, and you closed your eyes trying not to give in. She always managed to get away with things if it’s to you. The idea of making her sad or disappointed would physically hurt your heart. You had started to notice tihs toxic cycle of Mina being so cold to you for days on end or saying something she knew would hurt you, but then would suddenly be so caring and soft. It was a never ending cycle that you couldnt bring yourself to leave, so you prayed that things would change for the better instead.

As expected, with a gentle kiss to your temple and a few pleading words, Mina had you wrapped around her finger. Before you knew it, you found yourself sitting in the passenger seat of Mina's car, en route to the carnival near the Han River.

The short few hours there were fun, although you hated to admit it. Mina and Chaeyoung had gone on every ride Haerin asked them to accompany her on. You subtly acknowledged Mina's determination, even though she looked sick after getting off each ride, yet she always said yes to the next one.

With your hands full of the stuffed animals that the Twice members had spent a considerable amount of money on to win for Haerin (honestly, they were so bad at the baseball throwing that you thought buying them directly from the vendors would've been cheaper), you waited in line with Chaeyoung for the final ride of the night—the Ferris wheel. Meanwhile, Mina took Haerin to get a final round of ice cream.

Chaeyoung stood silently next to you, and an air of awkwardness lingered between the two of you throughout the night. You sensed that she had something to say but was hesitant to bring it up.

"I know you have something you want to tell me, Chae," you said, determined to address it one final time. With just the two of you, Chaeyoung appeared slightly less nervous.

The fellow blonde met your gaze, and for a fleeting moment, you saw guilt flash in her eyes.

"You know you can tell me anything," you said softly, hoping to encourage her to share the thoughts that had been eating her alive all day.

Chaeyoung sighed, offering you a sad smile that lacked her usual dimples. "It's not my place to say," she replied cryptically, leaving you even more curious and worried.

"At least let me know what I can do to ease your mind," you insisted, prioritizing her feelings over your curiosity about what was going on in her mind.

But before Chaeyoung could open her mouth to reply, Haerin and Mina came running back. Mina positioned herself between you and Chaeyoung, wrapping her arm around your shoulder, while Haerin excitedly talked about the schools she wanted to apply to. You couldn't help but notice the warning look Mina gave to Chaeyoung, and you certainly didn't miss the anger on Chaeyoung's face when Mina became distracted in the middle of the conversation, briefly glancing at her phone to send a few texts.

You were deeply in love with Mina, but you were not oblivious. Mina was definitely hiding something from you.

The ferris wheel was small, and the four of you split into two to ride. Mina tightly grasped your hand as you pulled her into the glass cart, knowing her fear of heights.Facing each other with your legs tightly wedged in the limited space, you couldn't help but gaze at Mina's angelic face. Her soft features, wavy brown hair, and the simple white blouse paired with a leather jacket showcased her effortless beauty. Yet, beneath it all, a sinking feeling in your heart warned you that this angelic facade might be your downfall.

"Look, fireworks," Mina whispered in awe, her gaze fixed on the glass windows. The fireworks illuminated the dark night sky, casting vibrant colors on both of your faces.

For a few fleeting seconds at the peak of the ferris wheel, time seemed to stand still. You memorized the sight of Mina, awestruck and illuminated by the colorful fireworks. The indigo glow from the fireworks painted her profile, accentuating the sparkle in her eyes. It was a breathtaking moment, but like life, it couldn't last forever.

As the ferris wheel descended, Mina's phone lit up, resting on her lap. Your curiosity got the better of you, and you glanced at the screen, immediately regretting your decision. There, under an indigo heart emoji, a message read, "When are you coming back? I miss you."

You looked away, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill from your eyes.

You didn't say anything as Mina drove you and Haerin home, nor did you comment on the new expensive watch now adorning Mina's wrist, perfectly concealing her tattoo. You remained silent, hoping to hold onto her for a little longer.

When she gave you a goodbye kiss, you said nothing, simply closing your eyes and savoring the feel of her soft lips on yours.

The image of her face, filled with wonder and illuminated by the indigo purple fireworks, replayed in your mind, intertwining with your bittersweet emotions.

Rottmnt Theatre Arts AU

one of my close moots on twitter @/lynngu1n1 created a band au the other day so now im here to add onto it with a rottmnt theatre arts/performing arts au bc now i can’t stop thinking abt it let’s go!

Leo:

This first one should surprise nobody, leo is a born and raised theatre kid. He loves the performance, he loves the drama, and he loves the spotlight. Leo is often lucky and skilled enough to be cast in lead roles however he’s almost ALWAYS type casted into the love interest role. Not that it bothers him though as he takes the role with stride. He loves playing it and he knows he’s good at it.

Off stage however he’s often regarded as a leader type within the cast. people admire him and with his natural charisma he tends to take charge in helping the cast by hyping them up and setting morale high as well as almost always being on top of things when it comes what changes might've occurred when rehearsing scenes and dance numbers.

He’s the one that sets up the cast parties and after show dinners and often leads warm ups within the cast and introduces the new members to old theatre kid traditions. and despite his chill personality he actually takes his acting roles pretty seriously and works hard to learn his lines and choreography.

Things are always fun when Leo's around, you'll find him dancing in the wings when not on stage w other cast mates and pulling the most ridiculous expressions as everyone silently holds in their laughter and is the one thats got the best drama and gossip stories to tell while blasting music backstage as everyone gets ready.

Donnie:

Donnie is on crew, he helps build the sets, hang the lights, watch for cues, handles mic checks and sound and controls everything from the booth during shows, wearing headsets during the show is one of his favorite things ever, it’s makes him feel like the guy in the chair.

Donnie doesnt interact with the cast that much as he’s constantly busy with the tech side of things but everyone on the cast knows him because he’s e v e r y w h e r e . And while he tends to keep to himself when working, people quickly learned to stay out of his way when he’s doing so

He absolutely loves his job though and enjoys all the intricacies that goes on behind the stage that makes the show run smoothly. Will absolutely infodump to you about certain tech aspects if you ask him about it tech week is absolute hell tho. nobody bother him.

There’s still so much to be done before opening night and trying to get these damn theatre kids to work with him can be such a nightmare sometimes. he likes them most of the time he really does, but not right now especially during mic checks, of which leo is CHRONICALLY late too

Raph:

Raph is a stage manager! though over time has quickly been adopted as the cast and crew mom. While he does everything the stage managers typically do, watching cues, helping move set pieces, keeping track of props, he’s always extended himself to helping even more backstage.

Raph's got whatever you need at all times. throats sore? come on he’ll show you where we keep the throat coat. want a mint? here you go. yes call time is at 5:30. you blanked and forgot ur line before ur scene? here’s the script u got this bud

instead of getting into the tech aspect like Donnie during the rehearsal periods, raph actually goes to help with the costumes instead! he’s making the alterations to help make ur costume fit better and finding you the right accessories for it.

In his spare time he’ll go to the shop and help build sets under donnies guidance, being able to easily move heavy pieces from place to place as well as painting them the main reason raph works so well as a stage manager tho is that he CAN wrangle the wild antics of theatre kids. and while it mostly isn’t an issue as the majority of people already respect him for his kindness. He knows how to deal with them when the chaos starts to set in where donnie couldn’t. when he needs people to get out of his way they MOVE. and while raph usually has a handle on things, the cast has seen him snap at times and have since then avoid it at all cost. When raph tells you to do something you do it.

But otherwise he’s pretty chill! he helps you with quick changes and fixes ur costume if it rips on stage. just dont touch the props, that PISSES him off

Mikey:

Mikey is an ensemble kid. He enjoys theatre but hes totally content just being part of the group and experience and doesnt need to be in the spotlight. Mikey’s the kid that gets along with everyone, cast & crew, he comes to the after parties and is thoroughly engaged in warm ups

However! His skills for dancing are no joke, having previous experience with it before joining the theatre fam. as a result he ends up with a role as a dance captain! quickly picking up the choreo and then relaying it to his fellow cast mates and helping anyone who needs it

He’s the one that ALWAYS remembers the steps. and his the kid that helps remind the choreographer what came after this segment and yeah we go right then left! he’s also the one that tends to do a large amount of the stunts within the big dance numbers. Yes he can do a round off backhandspring! Need someone who can do cartwheels? He’s ur guy. Can anyone do a triple turns? That’s him.

As a result he ends up becoming well known among the cast which eventually lands him some small supporting roles in following shows as well! Not to mention he's the one that everyone goes to for help with makeup. That kid's eyeliner skills are def on another level.

April:

April is part of the yearbook committee at school, which as a result has her coming in during hours of rehearsal to take some pictures for it as well as the show. However, with the combination of this and also being friends with the guys, which led her to start working with them more.

This ends up with her taking an unofficial role as their marketing committee. April is the one who promotes the show on social media and is also the one that puts together the programs for the show and takes the cast headshots as well as their bios.

She and leo tag team the ticket selling, with her passion and his natural charisma they make an extremely compatible team when it comes to encouraging people to go see the show. She’s the one that helps set up the concessions at intermission and is the one who records the show and takes plenty of pictures for it for their social media.

OUTSIDE of musical theatre season:

These boys got some other electives they’ve got lined up (which sometimes overlaps with theatre which makes things a little stressful but it’s all good)

I thoroughly believe leo is that one kid that does sports within the cast, and while ik he’s big on basketball, he also gives me some major soccer vibes- the kid def has the speed and agility for the offense position, and while he knows it’s not, half the time playing the game feels like putting on a whole ass performance and he thrives on the adrenaline of it all

Now don’t think i forgot about donnie’s overly big dramatics because i didn’t. Donnie DID actually audition for theatre, and while he’s got a huge passion for musical theatre just like leo, he later found out that he did not inherent the same talent for acting rip.

Therefore! he found something else to fill his need for dramatization and ended up in harmony show choir! a group that involves both singing dancing and performance with no need for much skills in acting, a perfect fit for him.

ofc he was a little awkward when he first joined and he’s not the best in the group but he thoroughly found himself enjoying it as a side activity and found friends in the group as well.

Raph is a choir kid! Initially he didn’t have much interest in it and ended up taking the class as a needs for an art elective but after a semester he found that he really liked it! fitting in the bass section extremely well and actually found stage managing through choir. (since half the choir kids overlap with theatre) and many of his classmates encouraged him to try it out! Especially since tech was a little short-staffed at the moment

Raph kept up w choir after a while and started auditioning for all state each year! He sometimes has some difficulties with reading the music but donnie always helps him out when he needs.

Outside of arts though, Raph is also an og sports kid like leo and is on the wrestling team

Now mikey as the arts kid of the group obviously has been in plenty of art electives that change from semester to semester, ranging from 2D and 3D drawing to sculpting and painting. Outside of those however he also found himself on the drill team!

Mikey has been in dance for a long time and quickly impressed his coaches with his dance audition which resulted in him being able to jump straight into the varsity team., and after a while he was eventually able to build himself up to becoming the team captain too

Mikey only ending up in theatre after some poking and prodding from leo who encouraged him to join in knowing he’d end up liking it which he did

As for April, outside of theatre/yearbook she also works for the school's news reporting team as well as helping w morning announcements, practicing her journaling skills in hopes of one day joining an actual news station.

Spoiler free review for Netflix's live action One Piece!

WOW.

A lot of stuff to love! I absolutely ADORE this take on the adventure of the Straw Hat Pirates!

The Straw Hats are all cast perfectly, the supporting cast is spot on. Everyone NAILS their characters!

Give the man a crown!

Iñaki Godoy as Luffy is goofy and oblivious in all the right ways. He sticks the perfect landing of the emotional intelligence that was crucial to bring the deeper side of Luffy to life, and doesn't neglect the hyperactive child side either! Seeing him gleefully bounce around - both in and out of fights- was special. The CGI was pretty good! Better than I expected, really. I appreciate making Luffy a little more level-headed, it's a good choice to tone down the chaos goblin for live action 🤣

It was magnificent to see Luffy grow into a "real" pirate in this arc, and he will be the KING!

Mackenyu as Zoro is a bit "too cool" but honestly I expected it to happen, people tend to overlook the fact that 90% of the time he's just as dumb as Luffy 🤷 but MAN is he cool. He really surpassed my expectations for the fight scenes, and did not skip on the brutality! 3 Sword Style was stunningly realized and incredible fun to watch- even without drawing a single blade!

His one liners and sarcasm are on point, ESPECIALLY regarding Sanji 🤣

Emily Rudd as Nami is INCREDIBLE. Smart as a whip and wily as ever, this cat burglar lands on her feet! In and out of combat, Nami is quick on her feet and with her wit. One Piece passes the Bechdel test once again, and her story is every bit the emotional powerhouse as its manga and anime counterparts- better in some moments! 'Nuff said.

Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp is delightful, though unfortunately he doesn't get as much time to shine as the others. When he does though, it's fantastic!

He really got the little things down about the character without needing to be as over the top as his counterparts- a bullseye from the sniper!

Sanji is perfect as well, you can SEE the training Taz Skylar went through for the part, from the mouth watering food to the killer martial arts. Every bit as fun to watch as the rest of the Monster Trio! My expectations for him were already high, and he kicked them into the stratosphere.

I'm glad they toned down the flirting, they found the right balance and played it well. Sanji matches Zoro in the bickering spectacularly, an absolute must that exceeded my hopes in both of their performances.

I'm not gonna list everyone but because I love this stupid fucking clown:

Jeff Ward as Buggy is an absolute TREAT, I am a huge fan of this take on the character. The perfect storm of bumbling dipshit who wants to be taken seriously, but still pretty intimidating at times. LOVE it. His jokes are GOLD.

Speaking of! Gold Roger, the man who started it all! *mwah!* Dazzling performances from him AND the Marines.

The few nitpicks I have are minor, the childhood acting ranges from ok to abysmal, Lily Fisher as young Nami is a notable standout. Some of the "minor" characters suffer from wooden acting, but honestly that's about the worst of it.

The Fishmen look a little low budget in their early appearances, but are absolutely PERFECT when they are the ones in the spotlight. Absolutely phenomenal work from McKinley Belcher III, my biggest fear from this was Arlong being done wrong and he CRUSHED IT!

The soundtrack was rousing, it truly felt like a call to adventure! And above all the SET DESIGN 😭

They TRULY brought the world that Oda Senseii has been drawing for us all these years, to life.

And now, anime One Piece is trending on Netflix.

THE GREAT PIRATE ERA IS HERE!

Here's to hoping Netflix doesn't Netflix it 🍻

What did you think?

Especially if this is your introduction to One Piece, I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!

#one piece live action #iñaki godoy #straw hat luffy #one piece #emily rudd #nami #mackenyu #roronoa zoro #jacob romero gibson #usopp #taz skylar #vinsmoke sanji #jeff ward #buggy the clown #mckinley belcher iii #arlong #one piece anime

alrighty *cracks knuckles* time for some absolutely random ROTTMNT headcanons

Mikey has an art blog somewhere and loves it

He sketches Donnie's inventions sometimes, Donnie will ramble about all the parts he needs while Mikey nods and draws

(Donnie secretly keeps every one of those drawings)

All four brothers argued over opening a jar once, which resulted in absolute chaos and destruction until Raph finally broke it

To this day, April denies putting super glue on the jar lid

A few times Donnie has put on a Jupiter Jim movie in the background while he works on stuff, and Raph just comes in and sits. They both like doing their own thing but still enjoy each others company (we fr needed more of this duo in rise :(

Mikey draws/paints on Leo's shell

They all have Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu fan accounts

Mikey helps April dye a strip of her hair every once and a while

When they get in trouble and Splinter says "Go to your room!", Donnie's the type of kid to say "Gladly!" and mean it.

Do we have any howl's moving castle fans out there? Yall remember the scene in the book where howl is super dramatic about being sick? Yeah that's 100% Leo LMAO

Raph is more like "I'm fine I'm fine" when he's sick and Leo's just like "THIS IS THE EENNDDD WHEN WILL MY SUFFERING ENDD"

lol thats all i can think of for now, i love them sm

THIS is how invested I am in the Roleswap. I am not messing around here.

Extra thoughts on my creative process and other bonus material under the cut :D

So! My creative process has evolved a bit since I made this post five months ago!!

I have graduated from a used computational notebook to a handy disc-bound notebook!! I tell you, the disc-bound book is life-changing. I thought they were just for those bougie planners but they make plain notebooks with them too!! It was a little more expensive than a traditional notebook but it's been so incredibly worth it for me so far. I thought I'd share in case someone else has been looking for a system like this!

My habit of revising, adding, and deleting sections of the story isn't a problem anymore, because I can literally remove a portion of the notebook from the binding and stick it somewhere else! Or add more paper if a section I'm working on becomes longer than I intended. It's absolutely fantastic and keeps my chaos 1000x more organized. I can finally keep everything sorted by chapter without committing to a set number of pages! I can actually figure out where the story is going to go now, and actually organize my ideas for endgame chapters... and the endgame is going to be FUN. >:)

Here's a peek into my brain for previous updates: Chapter 1 Pages 26-29, and Chapter 1 Pages 34-42! I still love my sticky note thumbnails. And it's fun to compare how much the final pages change from my initial thoughts :P

Here's a sneak peek of Chapter 2 and some scrapped content! Fixing the pacing is the biggest cause of scrapping scenes.

So yeah!! This Roleswap is the biggest exercise in storytelling and art that I've ever taken on, and I'm so, so excited to keep working on it and sharing it! Perhaps this organizational approach is a little unconventional (I have personally not done this on a true professional level... yet) but it's working well for me as I continue to learn and evolve! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to share this.

Thank you for reading- and thank you for the warm reception so far! I never expected this story idea to grow to the size it did, but I'm so happy for the opportunity! I'm really passionate about it. I'll keep working hard to make the wait between updates worth it and create an enjoyable story!! <3

#next update is close to finishing I promise!!#I just need to share my excitement for my new system or else who else am I gonna tell? haha #roleswap scraps #forgotten land roleswap #king dedede #meta knight #kirby #Kirby and the forgotten land #Kirby au #elfilis

The Backup Team: Crime Runners-Up ~

Our runners-up this week are @horsecrash, @i-am-the-one-who-wololoes and @just--a--penguin!

@horsecrash — Pyramid Schemer

I kinda wish that this card had some flavor text, because I'm imagining this on Amonkhet (hey, pyramids right?) and I know that the zombies there aren't exactly ones who "scheme." So the name is excellent, and there are maybe some subtle plans that they can enact, but I wanted just that little more. What I love is the fact that this card works wonders mechanically. It's kind of obvious (or at least I hope so?) that you picked the name and had the brain-blast idea following that, but you know what? It works for me.

There's something to be said about a manasink that can make a load of 2/2 lifelinkers. If you can kill or mill, then you can utilize both graveyards to your advantage. Things that care about tokens and/or zombies make this loads better as well. I mean, you don't even need that if you can make a lot of creatures, too. What I like about the Amonkhet angle is that you can hate out embalm and eternalize creatures quite easily and fizzle someone's graveyard strategy in limited. I'd love to have played this last night in a chaos draft as well, but that's neither here nor there. So: flavor's almost there, but the mechanics and vibes are great.

@i-am-the-one-who-wololoes — Steal the Blueprints

The art description here works really well, and I'm happy that you have a clear grasp of the Futurist vibes of Kamigawa. I've come around on some of it, but not all. I've come around on this card a lot as well. When I first saw it, I was honestly a little baffled at the wording, but I think that the vibes you were going for are certainly sensible and that merely creating a token isn't the same as casting a copy, and the use of blueprints to make (read:cast) the thing you're stealing absolutely justifies this design.

I wish it was less situational, though, and that it fit better mechanically into the ninja shell of limited. I don't think it could've, honestly, but does that matter when that's not what the card itself is going for? I think the one thing that could've made this card better is if you could've copied either an artifact card from their hand or an artifact that they already control. After all, depending on who you're playing with, what if there are no artifacts, or they've played out their big stuff by turn five already? Still, situational cards are situational, and I can see this one being pretty good in the right place. Exceptional, actually. And I can also see it being a dud, but nonetheless. You really had a fascinating card here that's a super specific and cool crime, too.

@just--a--penguin — False Testimony

This card's silly and strives to be nothing but silly. Look, I'm willing to accept that. There's a distinct silly vibe from a lot of these cards—and I'm honestly glad that not every card played into the grimdark that I usually purport to enjoy (which I mean, I do, in small doses with the right vibes). Still, as a furry at heart, I'm miffed that you're taking my nth Leonin husband and accusing him of crimes! Hm. You know, this is a corrupt court, and even though I'm saying that it's silly, there's a non-zero chance that there's some serious stuff going on behind the scenes and you're gonna throw him into kitty prison. Shame on you.

NO shame, however, for the awesome line of "Suspect the token." I like the gist of the mechanics coming together and all the simple things that make up an awesome card. You steal their thing, the thing you get is suspicious, and you get a cantrip off of it. This is a fun sideboard card, if nothing else, but in a limited game you can make some awesome things happen with your opponents' on-curve plays if you're missing the four-drop slot or if the late game is leaving you high and dry. I don't think the flavor is 100% saying "testimony" to me but that's entirely the way my brain works and honestly I don't think I'd be able to fully say what I'd want "testimony" to look like in Magic.

And commentary is being written now. Be safe out there! @abelzumi

Self-Promo Saturday

Thanks for the tag @lightningboltreader 💛💛 and thanks to @sugdenlovesdingle for starting it!!

The rules are simple: List 5 of your works that you're proud of. Tell us why you love them.

Any medium (fic/art), any fandom, old or recent - anything goes.

I am going to shake it up and use reader reviews.

All Your Colors Make Me Feel Alive “oh my I loved this so much!! I teared up while reading- especially the last 3 ones. TK sharing music with Carlos throughout their relationship is so sweet and the meaning that each song has for them is just so 🥰🥰🥰 loved this a lot, thank you for sharing!”

TK Strand’s Sweet 16 (times 2) (minus 2) “i love how you can practically feel the welcoming atmosphere of the party throughout the story, and the love everyone feels for each other. i also love how you’ve explored all the other dynamics and how you extrapolate on characters in such a lived-in, caring way that still feels true to the characters we see in the show. tk having a new family to celebrate with alongside his 126 family and dad is so good, and i loved those quiet moments with tk checking in on carlos… and tk feeling like he’s just starting a new good era by turning thirty after all he’s been through…:’)))) this is so fun, thanks for sharing!”

Call Me If You Get Lost “Omg this is so cute. My cheeks hurt from all the grinning. (And my stomach’s feeling pretty rumbly from all the talk of delicious food.) TK means so well, and he worried so much, and it all makes him spin out so hard… I loved that conversation with Paul and Marjan (and the lovely side story about her dad). I laughed so hard at the chaos of the cockblock scene, especially the mental picture of Mateo squirming around in the midst of it all, trying to get some clothes on. But mostly I loved how on board Carlos was, and how well he knows TK, and how willing he was to play along with this well-intentioned insanity. This was such a precious read.”

getting past the wounds of love “The trifecta of early Tarlos, music, and Paul had me smiling all throughout this sweet story! I can never get enough of Paul and he's practically jumping out of the page here. His characterization is that good, especially with all the small and careful details you included. And TK and Carlos in the car *swooning* -- there's a tentative energy about them that I absolutely adore! It's like TK keeps drawing these lines in the sand and then promptly forgetting about them because being with Carlos feels so natural and right. You captured it so sweetly and now I wanna rewatch all of their season one scenes soooo thank you for that <3”

I'm Not A Fortress, But I Will Try To Protect You “Wooooooooooow the way I loved this!!!!! Marjan's voice is PERFECTION, I could hear Natacha saying every line wow!!! Truly adore the way you're giving us so much more to this friendship, it's nice to see T.K. be close with someone other than Carlos and nice for Marj to have a friend in her corner. The way she helped T.K. see that Carlos isn't ashamed of T.K., but that maybe there's something more going on was so beautiful, such a wise way to look at things… Such a fabulous fic, so glad I read it tonight!!”

Tagging @chicgeekgirl89 @carlos-in-glasses @apothecarose @ambiguouspenny @bonheur-cafe @ladytessa74 @basilsunrise @louis-ii-reyes-strand @guardian-angle22 @herefortarlos @reasonandfaithinharmony @rosedavid @liminalmemories21 @your-catfish-friend @whatsintheboxmh @ithilien-writes @decafdino and OPEN TAG 🏷️

Only Friends (But It’s a Jazz Musical)

Here is the 100% self-indulgent project that I have been working on since the series started! This began when I realized I was adding a lot of jazz songs to my regular OF playlist that didn't flow with the vibe of the other songs, so I separated them and realized how much they really worked on their own. I narrowed this down to a selection of ~40 tracks to just 11 to make it album-sized.

I think, despite the fact that these songs aren't modern at all, they fit the series really well. As musical theatre is wont to be, though, this would be very anachronistic—not tied to a particular place or point in time, and with a range of music genres utilized. It's the type of thing where producers would say "Who cares? It's Broadway!" while critics write scathing reviews on how musical theatre is the lowest form of art.

Mostly it's just meant for fun. 😊 Listen on YT

Tracklist + Scene Breakdown

I’m Gonna Live Till I Die

(YT / lyrics) The opening number. The scene at the bar where we meet the cast. I love the long opening vocal note to this song and can picture each of the four main friends standing under a solo spotlight as the music builds, until the beat drops and the curtain parts and the stage bursts into life. The instrumental break in the middle would be lengthened in order to give Mew a chance to introduce the cast to the audience.

Something’s Gotta Give

(YT / lyrics) This is the scene of Top hitting on Mew during trivia night. The irresistible force (haha) meets an immovable object. The line "something's gotta give, something's gotta give, something's gotta give" would easily be a recurring leitmotif sung by the chorus ensemble in the background of some of TopMew's tense moments and arguments.

You Go to My Head

(YT / lyrics) This is the SandRay theme of the show. Ray starts off singing this to Sand when they're at Ray's house that first time. The direct comparison to alcohol shows that Sand is Ray's new fixation. An instrumental variation of this would play during most of their scenes, with a refrain sung by Sand later in the show ("Still I say to myself, get ahold of yourself")

I Put a Spell on You

(YT / lyrics) Nick sings this while Boston seduces Top—through dance of course. This number is about both Boston coercing Top ("I put a spell on you") and Nick’s possessiveness over Boston ("because you're mine").

Smoke Gets In Your Eyes

(YT / lyrics) Mew sings this about Top's betrayal. This was about how blind he was at the beginning, and the song culminates in Mew setting Top's drawing on fire.

I’ll Be Glad When You’re Dead (You Rascal You)

(YT / lyrics) Both of the pool fights are combined in this scene, Mew going after Boston and Ray going after Top. It’s a little physically comical with lots of people chasing each other back and forth across the stage, but Mew and Ray are absolutely out for blood.

If I Didn’t Care

(YT / lyrics) Sand is singing this onstage at club YOLO while all the boys try to process their unresolved feelings for each other. Lots of longing glances and loaded looks across the room.

I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire

(YT / lyrics) This is Boeing's "I'm too hot for you to blame me for the chaos I bring and I'm going to set Top's life on fire" song. I absolutely envision this as a casual tap dance number, and he does the entire thing with his hands in his pockets and a shit-eating grin on his face.

If That Ain't Love

(YT / lyrics) This one is on Sand's shuffle playlist in Ep 12, but I thought it really fit for a Boston solo! And I wasn't gonna not include the only jazz vocal playlist in the series. This is Boston trying to convince Nick that he loves him, even though Boston has no experience with romantic love.

You Always Hurt the One You Love

(YT / lyrics) All of the boys are singing this song. Hurt people hurt people. Top, Ray, and Boston are singing together on one side of the stage, with Mew, Sand, and Nick on the other, with all three pairs meeting in the middle and clasping hands at the end. (circa ep 10/11)

My Way

(YT / lyrics) This is the closing number and a duet between Mew and Boston on their final meeting. For a musical theater adaptation, compared to the original series, there's going to be more of a bang than a whimper at the end of this friendship, with both of them standing proud about who they are, faults and all. People were hurt, crimes were committed, questions remained unanswered, but Only Friends did it in a way no one else has.

I hope y'all can give this a listen because I really enjoyed working on it. Doing a more theme-specific playlist was new for me, since I usually just throw anything and everything into my playlists, so I'd definitely like to try something similar with another fandom in the future. I hope y’all enjoy 😊
