2020 fic recs!! [Part 1]
this idea was stolen from @iam93percentstardust cuz i just,,,thought that this year was absolute shit and it would be nice to make a fic rec list of fics from this year that helped me through it. this will be over a range of fandoms and ships, but all fics were written this year.
fics are ordered by the month they were published. ive tried to keep to five fics per month, but this is not obviously all the fics ive read that month - i just didn’t want to make this insanely long.
im releasing the first half of this on the 1st of December, and the second half on the 1st of January 2021 - because otherwise it would just get so long (and also so i will actually have fics for December)
happy reading!! hopefully you find fics on this you haven’t read yet
***
January
The cat is mighty dignified (until the dog comes by): @five-wow
Steve and Danny find them on the pillow in the corner of the dining area, where Eddie is on his side, ass half on the floor because the pillow is more cat-sized than lab-sized, and Pickles is nestled between Eddie’s front legs, essentially being spooned and looking very I-got-the-cream about it. Pickles’ head is tucked into the crook of Eddie’s neck and Eddie’s head slots perfectly on top of Mr. Pickles’, like a furry jigsaw puzzle.
“They’re cuddling,” Steve points out, unnecessarily.
Or: There is a love story unfolding under the McGarrett roof.
Captain ‘Socialist Rage Muffin’ America: @baffledkingcomposinghallelujah
It takes three months of dating Steve Rogers for Tony to understand why Aunt Peggy once shot at him in sheer frustration.
Alternately titled, Honey, I committed treason again.
The Best Laid Plans (Of Mice and Men): @arboreal-elm-ash-oak
His Dark Materials AU
It was Annalise who noticed their small visitor first.
“Tony,” the spider daemon said softly, skittering up the collar of his dress shirt, two of her eight legs resting delicately against his cheek, “Don’t startle them, but I believe we have a guest. Look, by the coffee table.”
Fourteen Million to One: @tunastorks
Six months after Thanos, six months after Tony’s death, six months after Steve returns to his own timeline, Tony Stark turns up on their doorstep.
Brewed Awakening: @iam93percentstardust
Two years after he comes out of the ice, Steve is drifting through life. On his teammate's recommendation, he decides to go back to school where he meets the grandson of an old friend. He finds happiness with Tony but Steve won't be in Boston forever and someone is out to hurt the Starks. Will Steve and Tony be able to reach their happily ever after?
February
the young, the reckless and the foolish: @bruciewayne
In most universes, they don't know each other, not in the slightest, or they hate each other, in a way that's perfectly logical for anyone who were to find themselves in a similar situation.
In this one, they've known each other since they were four years old and naively idealistic.
This is them over the years, against the odds.
a giant sign: @areiton
“Think you can get him to open the weapons division up again?” his CO asks, his voice hungry and Rhodey laughs because this--
“No. Tony hung up his weapons.”
“That’s not what the suit says,” his CO objects, and Rhodey shrugs.
Tony has always had rules, rules he expects the entire world to live by.
And then there was Rhodey, slipping under them.
my heart is driftwood, floating down your coast: @nethandrake
Tonight, there’s a stranger in his backseat. That’s not unusual.
He’s also sad. That’s not unusual either.
What is unusual is that the stranger is silent.
(One night, a stranger enters Steve's taxi. Nothing is the same again.)
Just A Cold: @/delighted
There’s a new text waiting for him. It’s from Steve of course, and it’s vaguely threatening as most messages from Steve are these days. Still Danny ignores it, and now he’s really playing with fire. Maybe it’ll burn the cold out of him.
Or, Danny’s sick, and Steve can’t stay away. The usual comfort fluff. With a little cameo from a gently meddling Grace.
An Unexpected Guide: @/Rachel500
Danny Williams has hidden his Guide status to keep being a detective, but his time of hiding is up when he unexpectedly finds his Sentinel, Steve McGarrett in the midst of a tragedy.
March
Why don’t we (Collide the spaces that divide us): @five-wow
When they finally catch sight of each other again through the milling crowds, they’re both a little worse for wear. Danny’s left side is covered in glitter and every time he brushes a hand over his hair, more blue and purple confetti rains down. Steve is- Well, Steve is randomly shirtless, which is all things considered not excessively remarkable, but he’s also covered in smudges of colorful paint and has a very nicely printed bloodred lipstick kiss mark on his cheek.
“What did you do?” Danny asks, because it looks like Steve had a lot more fun than he did.
Or: Steve and Danny accidentally end up in the middle of something entirely new.
A Little Unsteady: @finduilasclln
Written for the Tumblr prompt meme : "Hey! I was gonna eat that!"
Tony lashes out at Bucky for eating his dessert. Only, it really isn't about the dessert.
a national treasure: @starklysteve
Steve isn't looking for an apple and Tony decides his passion is to inspire young souls.
-x-
OR: the AU where Tony is a Youtuber and Steve is Captain America and somehow they still save the world together.
April
cycle through: @ambivalentmarvel
Twenty-five years ago, Tony Stark disappeared from his family home a month after the tragic deaths of his parents, Howard and Maria Stark, leaving a billion-dollar tech conglomerate without an heir and the world wondering what happened.
Twenty-three years ago, HYDRA gained another super soldier.
Ten years ago, Peter Parker’s parents died in what is ruled as a home invasion gone wrong but he knows was murder, plain and simple, because he spoke to the killer.
And in the present, Project Insight fails, and the Iron Soldier pays the price.
FOREVER-LOVE YOU-I: @/Eudoxia
Tony Stark is twenty-one when he loses his voice. It shouldn't matter, but in a world where the first words your Soulmate says to you are marked on your skin, it can be pretty damn annoying.
Especially for Tony's soulmate.
--
Companion piece to my fic Thumb, Index, and Pinky Extended. This is Steve's POV, with a few extra scenes, as a treat.
(Edit: Sorry if you guys get multiple notifications for this. I just realized (about two hours after posting it) that I fucked up the grammar in the title and I HAD to fix it. YOLO, I guess.)
come build a home out of me: @maguna-stxrk
Steve clears his throat.
“What if I went with you?” he asks nonchalantly, like his heart isn’t threatening to beat out of his ribcage.
Tony blinks a few times, looking at Steve, his mouth ajar. “As a— As my date?”
“Yeah.” Steve nods, feeling a little breathless.
“You don’t mind?” Tony furrows his eyebrows.
“I don’t. In fact, you can just tell them I’m your boyfriend. I’m sure they’ll back off, wouldn’t they?”
What.
“I— Huh?” Tony stares at him, brown eyes blown wide open.
What. What. What.
“Huh? Uh, I mean— You know, that way people will see that you have definitely moved on. Monica will see that you have moved on. Right?” Steve smiles, hoping that it masks his inner panic, because what?
Steve Rogers, what have you done?
i don’t have a choice (but i’d still choose you): @nethandrake
There’s a name inked onto his chest, a name written in an all-too familiar scrawl. And it’s— It’s—
Steve doesn’t realize his body is quaking until he’s tracing the tattoo with a shaky finger.
Because of course that is the name etched into the skin. Like a brand, a reminder for everything he has done. An appropriate retribution.
Anthony Edward Stark.
(When Thanos snaps half of the universe away, he unknowingly leaves the other half with soulmarks.)
ua haʻalele ʻoe iaʻu (a ua hoʻomālamalama ʻoe iaʻu): @just-fandomthings
"The truth is, I was shot in the chest and nearly died, and not even three days after I was released from the hospital, you up and left-- and of those two, I'm not sure which one hurt me worse!"
(Coda to 10x22 because come on, we all need a better ending than the one given to us.)
Title loosely translates to: "You left me in the dark (you lit me up)" -- inspired by the brilliant song "Say You Won't Let Go" by James Arthur
May
A Piece Of The Past: @hddnone
It had been so many years since Bucky had gone undercover in the Stark family's mob, he thought he'd gotten away clean.
Then Tony Stark slid into the seat across from him at his breakfast diner, and Bucky's boss has a new case for him.
the privilege of loving you: @starklysteve
“Why won’t you let me touch you?”
It’s a desperate plea, half-shouted and half-whispered, Steve’s voice cracking at the end. Tony stops in his tracks, halfway to the stairs. He doesn’t dare to turn back, and he really doesn’t want to fight, or to leave, to spend the last month of his life away from his husband and their son. But Steve can’t know, can he?
-x-
Or: Tony has palladium poisoning, but he doesn't tell Steve and Peter
your pillow feels so soft now (but still you must advance): @firebrands
When Bruce is 13, he decides to go to boarding school. It's an opportunity for him to learn about other people, and how to interact with them.
Bruce has the misfortune of meeting Tony Stark upon his arrival in Roxbury. Bruce is moving into his room, and Tony opens the door of his room to watch. He looks a bit younger than Bruce, hair wild and eyes bright. Bruce has never seen a boy like him before—handsome and confident.
Bruce doesn’t like it.
IMPORTANT: This fic has them meeting at 14, then progresses slowly until they’re 17. Includes underage drinking and kissing.
This is set before Bruce becomes Batman and Tony becomes Iron Man and I have no explanation as to how or why they just DO
Canonically, Bruce is 17 when he finishes school and goes around the world to train, so we're sticking with that
The Real MVP: @sword-and-stars (part of a series)
[“I have saved this Tuesday!” Sokka announces, rattling the bag upon reentry.
Zuko doesn’t even look up from his phone as he deadpans, “It’s Thursday.”
Okay, so Sokka is still having trouble getting his days right without checking. At least he’s gone back to sleeping at night! Going to bed at night is way easier when you have a cute, cuddly boyfriend who starts falling asleep around eleven o’clock. It also helps that he and Zuko are on solid gold butt-touching terms.
It’s been a while since Sokka has been on butt-touching terms with someone and it’s amazing.]
Or,
Sokka knows a guy, gets laid, and introduces Zuko to the merits of an afternoon delight.
When is a bed not a bed? (When you’re not in it): @riotwritesthings
There’s a tiny safe house, with one tiny window and one tiny couch.
And one tiny little bed.
June
Nice Fingers: @anthonyed
A single compliment given by Tony stirs Bucky restless until he caves in and asks him out on a date.
With Steve’s help of course (whether he likes it or not).
The Darkest Touch: @starkrogerrs
This is the story of how Steve finds that it has been ordained that he is to marry a monster he cannot resist aka the God of Love himself, Tony.
It's Cupid x Psyche retold, but with thrice the amount of porn.
The Night Shift: @weethreequarter
Welcome to the Emergency Department of San Antonio General where Dr. Tony Stark joins the team fresh from his most recent tour in Afghanistan and - much to the consternation of the other staff - strikes up an instant rapport with Nurse Steve Rogers. Meanwhile, new resident Bruce Banner refuses to give up on his patient, and Dr. Sharon Carter learns something from her own patients. Throw in a pissed off hospital administrator, Clint using the coffee pot as a mug again, and a major car crash and you have, well, just another night shift.
Wind Beneath My Wings: @iam93percentstardust
Sam first meets Tony Stark in 2005 when he joins the EXO-7 Falcon program.
In jest: @/apathyinreverie
“No, babe,” Danny shakes his head with a grin. “If the apocalypse were to go down while I’m elsewhere for some godforsaken reason, then you stay put and I’m coming to wherever you are.” His grin widens. “And I expect you to have cleared any aliens or zombies or whatever else might be messing with us off the island and to have set up a nice, comfortable military dictatorship for us to rule over by the time I get back.”
It’s a joke.
Of course it’s a joke.
Until it isn’t.
(A the-day-after-tomorrow-style apocalypse AU, where the world decides to end right when Danny is visiting one of the other islands with Grace. Because, of course, it does.)

Reunion Part 2 (Javier x Reader) {MTMF}
Title: Reunion (Part 2)
Rating: PG-13
Length: 1400
Warnings: None
Notes: You can find everything about Maybe Today, Maybe Forever here. Set December 24th 1998. Part 2 of yesterday’s update. And a shorty, because I was working on my room all day. Unbeta’d because we ride like warriors.
Summary: Mitch and co. enjoy dinner with Reader and her family

The afternoon had gone smoothly. Catching up with Mitch had proven easier than you had expected it to go. He was an easy going guy, but you had still been nervous about revisiting those parts of your past.
You and Connie helped Chucho with dinner, which proved to be a bit of a smorgasbord of different side dishes and choices. Proof of the blended nature of your families.
“What is it that you do, Monica?” Darla questioned as she primly forked up a bite of the brussel sprouts that Connie had brought.
“Well, I’m a student right now.” Monica answered, wiping at her mouth. “I graduate in May.”
“Oh, that’s right.” She nodded. “Have you decided what you plan on pursuing after graduation?”
“I’m considering law school.”
“She’s incredibly smart,” You boasted. “She’s got the drive, passion, and intellect to really go places.”
Javier was quick to add on after you, “She’s top of the class. She puts a hundred and twenty into every project.”
Monica rubbed at her cheeks, “Guys, come on. You’re going to make me turn into a puddle.”
Nadia nudged her, “She’s brilliant and humble. A winning combination.”
“And what are you studying?” Mitch questioned.
“Already graduated.” Nadia explained, “I’m working at NASA. My internship transitioned into a full time job.”
“NASA?” Mitch pursed his lips approvingly. “That’s pretty impressive.”
“I’m gonna go to space!” Josie announced, shoving a piece of bread into her mouth.
“Please don’t choke.” You chastised her gently, “I thought you were going to wrangle dinosaurs.”
“In space.” She said as she chewed.
“Mouth closed.” Javier tapped her arm to get her attention before giving her a stern look. “Manners.”
She stuck her tongue out.
Mitch laughed, “Someone’s a spitfire.”
“We have our hands full,” You shook your head, taking a swig of your beer. “And someone is going to go to bed without dessert.” You warned Josie.
“So, Tate,” Javier cleared his throat and took a swig of beer. “Still in college or thrust into the job field?”
“Fortunately, I’m done with college.” Tate offered. “I recently got hired at a big architectural firm in the city. Mostly working as a consultant on a few rehabs downtown.”
Javier nodded with interest, “I had a friend in college who went on to become a pretty successful architect. Designed a bunch of the Holiday Inns in Texas.”
“That’s a sweet gig if you can land it,” Tate agreed. “Architecture sort of fell into my lap.”
Darla coughed politely, “Tate had initially attended Syracuse.”
“That’s a big party school, isn’t it?” Nadia questioned and the face Tate made in response was answer enough.
“We got him transferred back home sophomore year. Temple.” Darla shrugged. “The head of the architecture program’s wife is a dear friend of mine. We serve on the DAR board together. She put in a good word for Tate.”
“Fortunately,” Tate shifted in his seat nervously. “I enjoy it. I always loved building tracks and Lego models.” He shrugged. “So, uh… what do you both teach?”
“I’m not teaching yet,” You answered, as you watched Mitch converse with Chucho to his left. “But it’ll be an elective in the criminology course at UM.”
“They’ve got me teaching a handful of courses,” Javier explained. “The thing people fail to recognize is just how much government overreach and bureaucratic bull you have to put up with if you wanna go into a field like the DEA.”
Steve leaned forward, resting his arms on the table. “It’s not for the faint of heart. I just got out myself. Starting up my own consulting business.” He shrugged. “The government doesn’t care about the people affected by the narcos. Just look at what the US did to Mexico.”
You watched Javier then, searching his expression for any signs of discomfort. You knew he despised bringing up Colombia — but these last few months had made it impossible.
“Is Santa in Mexico?” Josie questioned.
Chucho clicked his tongue against his teeth, “I bet he is. You gonna be good the rest of the night so I don’t have to tell him to fly by?”
“I’m a good girl.”
“I know you are.” Chucho winked at her. “But you’ve gotta be good right up until the moment he shows up… and then for a whole year after he’s gone!”
“Is Sofía going to be on the good list?” She looked at her sister then. “Sissy cries a lot.”
Javier leaned over and kissed the top of her head, “I have it on good authority that both of you are on the good list. Right alongside Emily and Olivia.”
Monica dropped her voice, “I heard that even Nadia was on the good list.”
“Speaking of the good list,” Nadia gave Monica a look, “My momma’s going to be expecting us soon.”
“Oh? Are you still going?”
“Yeah,” Nadia shrugged. “She’s still a little iffy with the whole girlfriend thing, but I think she’s coming around.”
“I’m glad. Still coming over tomorrow afternoon?”
“Wouldn’t miss it,” Monica beamed, clearing off their dishes. “Mitch, Darla, Tate — I’ll see you tomorrow. It was a pleasure to meet you.” She looked to Chucho then. “Still need a ride to the hotel?”
“Stephen here offered to give me a ride.”
“Drive safe and have fun.” You called out as they got ready to leave. “See you in the morning.”
“You two have been awfully chatty down there,” Javier pointed out as he gestured between Chucho and Mitch. “Should I be afraid?”
You chuckled, “I wasn’t going to say anything, but… What horror stories are you telling?”
Mitch gave a good natured laugh, “We’re just commiserating on how good it is to see you both happy.”
You smiled warmly, “It’s hard to believe we’ve spent seven Christmases together.”
“More if you count the years prior,” Steve pointed out.
“Yeah, but you were always trying to pair me off with someone.” You made a face. “Mitch, can you believe these two tried to pair me off with doctors.”
Mitch laughed, “She hated the hospital.”
“I got chickenpox.” You grimaced. “No sixteen year old should have the chickenpox.”
“Well, how was I supposed to know you were in love with Javier?”
You shrugged, “It all worked out in the end.” You reached around Josie to rest your hand on Javier’s shoulder. “Can you get dessert ready, while I get Sofía down?”
“Of course, baby.” Javier nodded, scooting his chair back.
“I’ll help,” Mitch offered.
“He’s not bad around the kitchen.” Darla assured you.
You scooted your chair back and grabbed Sofía out of her high chair, hauling her back to the nursery.
Sofía was quick to fall asleep, clearly worn out after an afternoon of entertaining everyone. Josie would be quick behind her — you doubted she’d make it past dessert.
And the sooner they both went to sleep, the sooner you and Javier could put out the gifts from Santa; and drink down the milk and eat the cookies she would leave out for him too.
Christmas was fun as a parent.
——
“The bells have been put on Josie’s door, we’ll know if she tries to escape.” Javier told you as he quietly shut the bedroom door behind him and moved to join you in bed.
You rolled over to face him, reaching out to run your hand down his arm. “Do you think she’ll like the bike?”
“She’s been dying for one.” Javier smiled, “Santa did good.” He shifted closer to you, until his lips were mere inches from yours. “What did you get me for Christmas?”
You brushed your nose against his, “You’ll have to be a good boy and wait until the morning,” You teased as you traced your fingers over his cheek.
“I don’t know if I’ve been good.” He retorted with a smirk as he curled his hand around your hip.
You cupped his cheek and kissed him. “You were great today. It went so well.”
“That was all you, baby.”
“It was everyone.” You kissed him softly again. “What did you think of Mitch?”
“He’s a hell of a guy. Down to earth despite…” He made a face. “Darla’s loaded, isn’t she?”
You nodded. “Yeah. I mean, our dad was middle class. But Darla is a whole different league.”
“Did you enjoy today!”
“It was so weird to see them again,” You chewed on your bottom lip. “I think I’m going to keep in contact with them.”
“They seem like good people.”
“And I want the girls to know their aunt and uncle. Aside from Steve and Connie. I want them to have a family… a big happy family.”
“I could get used to spending Christmas like this. A full house… a full belly.”
You poked him in the gut, “That's all your pops. He cooks the best holiday dinners.”
“Yeah, he was always good about making the holidays special. You know, we always had these big extended family get togethers around the holidays.” He shrugged.
“They’re overwhelming, but they’re fun.” You stretched your legs, reaching one over to slot in between his. “Thank you.”
“What for?”
“Being mine.”
Javier missed your forehead. “Merry Christmas, baby.”
You smiled to yourself, remembering the first time he said that to you.
That photo album had long been filled with photos of the two of you and the family you’d made together.

My 3Below OC
Hi!
I'm no good at art but at least I'm good at writing or descriptions!
So that's what I'm here to do!
_______________________________________________
So Ania, yes I used my name I am quite aware, is a human that lives in Arcadia Oaks.
Shes 15 years old and works at the coffee shop, the record store, and any other job she can find. She lives with her uncle. She is American on her fathers side and Russian on her mothers side. While she does not speak in a Russian accent she can speak Russian very fluently.
When she was around ten years old her parents and her little sister were killed by a home invader. Her uncle, her fathers older brother, was the only living relative that could take her in. He didnt like that fact that she was living in his house for free so he made her take multiple jobs at a young age.
She is selfless, kind, protective, and fiery. She would be the adult in the group, making sure everyone was taken care of. She would also be the one lecturing someone if they made a mistake. She is home schooled but the main subject she focuses on is English Literature. Shes a fantastic writer and loves to show her work or say her opinion through speech.
She has short brown hair with bangs on the right side of her face, emerald green eyes, and 5,1. Shes extremely short for someone her age and shes sort of on the chubby side. She wears a dark purple blouse, a black pencil skirt, and black high heels. She also wears a silver rose necklace, and black rose ear rings that belonged to her mother, with big round glasses in her face.
One day as she was having her break she saw a boy she had never seen before walk in front of the coffee shop. Her boss/uncle told her to offer him a sample of their new coffee, since there weren't many people in that day. She obeyed and offered it to the boy. He was... weird. Not funny weird just... weird. He acted as if he had no clue what she was talking about. He was a teenager who didnt know what coffee was, which was pretty rare. She took him into the shop where she gave him a cup... that he spit all over the floor. She was kind to him non the less, even though she had to mop up the coffee and got yelled at by her uncle later. She offered him a seat at her table since she was still technically on her break.
The boy introduced himself as Krel Tarron. 'Strange name for a kid. Maybe hes from another country?' Through out the rest of the evening they talked, laughed, smiled, and over all had an amazing conversation for a good 3 hours. That was until she saw something in his eyes... they were... black? And glowing? She asked him about it and all the boy could say was, "Kleb!" Before he rushed out of the shop.
Over the next few weeks the boy had come to the coffee shop to talk to her or just see her. They had become close friends and knew almost everything about each other.
She had to admit he was rude at times, quite full of himself, but she knew he meant well. He was her only friend really. Since she was homeschooled and her uncle didnt exactly let her out of his sight she didnt have time for friends.
She would show him her stories and he would show her his inventions. They were pretty impressive. They looked like something right out of a sci-fi movie.
While Ania was indeed a very intelligent girl she was also extremely clueless. Krel didnt realize his feelings for her until the day her uncle allowed her to attend public school.
They both had language arts together and apparently there was a short story paper due. Even though she was new and just attended school that day she was the first to raise her hand. She always kept her journals in her bookbag and they were filled with different stories. When the teacher called on her she rushed to the front of the room with a smile on her face.
Krel rolled his eyes and chuckled to himself watching her so excited. He leaned back in his chair and listened. His eyes got wider and wider with each sentence she read, with such passion and excitement. He gulped as he felt his core suddenly warm up. "What is this feeling?"
Weeks went by and he acted differently around Ania then he usually would. His face would warm up spontaneously, his hands would shake, and he was ruder then usual. He didnt know what to do. He was so confused and frustrated. He ran straight home after his hang out with Ania hadnt gone as he had hoped. He thought he might be sick. Aja was listening in on her younger brothers conversation with the mothership. She screamed as she ran over and spun her brother around. "AJA! PUT ME DOWN AT ONCE!" "A CRUSH!" "... What?" "YOU HAVE A CRUSH LITTLE BROTHER! YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON ANASTASIA!" "... What? No! That's impossible! Shes a human! I could never find humans attractive! Of course, I do believe Anastasia is quite intelligent and witty and humorous and she is enjoyable to talk to and shes the only human on this mud ball that I see as an equal but that doesnt mean I- ... kleb."
Even though it was extremely obvious that Krel had feelings for Ania, she didnt even notice. It was painful to watch. Especially when Aja and Steve would help Krel get Anias attention, giving her compliments or gifts, and she would usually say, "Awww! Thanks Krel! Stop being such a sweetheart will ya?" Steve once had to hold Aja back from just blurting it out or more or less screaming it out.
The day Ania learned what they were was an eventful day for everyone.
She was locking up the coffee shop, like every night, when someone was thrown above her. They landed in an ally way in a pile of garbage.
Being the curious and worried person that she was she slowly walked toward them.
"H-Hey... um... are you ok?" She could see something glowing from under the trash.
"D-DONT COME ANY CLOSER!"
"Look I'm not gonna- Krel? Oh my God are you ok!?"
"UM Y-YES! PERFECTLY FINE! I DO NOT REQUIRE ASSISTANCE! YOU MAY LEAVE!"
"... Krel you were just thrown across the street. I'm pretty sure you'll need some assistance. Is that your phone or-" She went for his hand- hands? "What in the-"
He tried to cover himself with the trash but the bag had ripped and trash was scattered everywhere.
She looked down at her friend, well who she thought was her friend, he was... she had no idea what he was. Her eyes widened.
Krel slowly stood with his four arms up, "Ok. Do not freak out. I have a perfectly normal and nonbizzare reason as to why I look like this."
She took a step back, "Wha- How- What are-" She fainted. He caught her with his four arms.
He sighs. "Great." He threw down his serrator and it turned into a overboard. He jumped onto it and flew to the mothership.
When she woke up she was greeted by three big blue... things. She screamed and backed up. "WH-WHO ARE YOU!? WHA-WHAT ARE YOU!? AM I DREAMING!? DID I ACCIDENTLY DRINK THE ALCOHOLIC COFFEE!?"
"Sweet Saklos stop screaming! Your fine!"
"... Krel?" She looks at the other two. "... Aja? ... Mr. Vex?"
"THE HUMAN KNOWS TOO MUCH! SHE MUST BE DESTROYED!" Vex turns his serrator into a sword.
Aja stands in front of her. "We are not killing her! She will not tell anyone!"
"Tell anyone what!? Can SOMEONE explain to me what's happening!? What are you guys!?"
The three look at each other. The big one, whom she assumed was Mr. Vex, groaned and put down his weapon. They explained to her what they were, who they were, and how they got here. Her eyes grew wider with every word. By the end of it she was in a state of complete shock.
"Please do not start screaming again." Krel rubbed the back of his neck. "You... do not fear us... do you?"
Ania, surprisingly, threw her arms around Krels neck and pulled him into a hug. She laughed.
"ARE YOU KIDDING!? I JUST FOUND OUT MY BEST FRIENDS ARE ALIENS FROM ANOTHER PLANET! IM THRILLED! I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!"
Krels face has never been brighter. His core warmed up quickly and he was stiff as a board. He didn't know what to do at that moment. He chuckled and slowly wrapped his four arms around the small round girl.
She snickered after a few moments. "... Krel? You, heh, you can let go of me now."
His eyes widen and he quickly pulled away. "Y-Yes well. I'm sure you will not see us the same."
"Hmmm... I don't know. Awkward, check! Dorky, check! Intelligent, check! Cocky, check! Kinda full of himself, check!" She let's go and stands on top of the couch. She ruffles his hair. "Poofy hair, check!" She cups his face. "Adorable facial features, double check!" She smiles. "I'm describing Krel Tarron just as I would describe Prince Krel Tarron of Akiridion-4 or 5 or whatever! Your still my best friend!"
Krel smiled widely. He couldnt help but stare.
"Pfff what are YOU staring at? I'm not the one with four arms and glowing blue skin Mr. Tarron."
His eyes widened and he stood back so her hands were no longer on his face. He glared. "I am not STARING! I would never stare at YOU! You were the one that decided to cup my face!" He groaned. "Now I smell of coffee and lavendar! Ugh! Disgusting!" He stomped to his lab.
She raises an eye brow. "What was that all about?"

i’ll try and keep this as brief as possible.
when i first came across tumblr as an rp platform back in mid-late 2014, i stumbled over countless muses because i could never really stick with one; could never really put myself in their shoes for more than a few months at best. it’s always been that way for me, for better or worse. but anduin? when i first started writing for him in early 2016, i had no idea it would spark this amazingly passionate love for a single character - but it most certainly did. that passion inspired me to do much, from what others described as beautiful works of art to what others deemed questionable and irrational behavior. either way, i had found my place for a time, and i was happy.
in case it wasn’t obvious, i’m no longer happy; and so it seems that time has passed.
so yeah. kinda done with tumblr; for like, the fifth time, i know, but i do mean it this time. it’s really nothing new: the same old predicament that is trying to interact with a community that has absolutely no issue excommunicating whoever they deem fit to crucify via their own warped logic and double standards. it would have been fine if i still had my own circle of blogs to interact with - and for a time, i did - but everyone once a part of that circle has since ceased their own activity on this website, be it because they themselves were harassed and/or fed up with the drama circlejerk or their interest in either the game or the rp platform (or both) diminished to such a point. i can count on one hand the amount of people i still interact with on tumblr, so in my eyes, remaining here just really isn’t worth it.
this by itself has been the reason i’ve “quit” numerous times before; but now it’s coupled with a sudden disinterest in WoW as well. from the false promises and unenjoyable content to the frustratingly aimless and vapid direction of the story (and believe me, i had high hopes when i heard christie golden was coming on board full-time, but they’ve since fallen flat), i’ve actually fallen out of love with this game after over 6 years of passion. that being said, i’m still subscribed, and i still play every now and again, but i’m not nearly as enthusiastic about WoW as i used to be. i look at this game now and i actually get... frustrated?? frustrated because of all the drama i’ve had to deal with over the years, both within and outside of the game. frustrated because of the state of something i once prioritized over so much else. frustrated because the spark that kept me going all this time is near-death.
i’ve been trying to find other passions to fill the void for the time being. haven’t been particularly successful just yet, but while i may continue to play and pay attention to the future developments of BfA and WoW as a whole, i’m not going to do that here. i have no reason to, and it would do me more harm than good, so that’s that.
those of you who have read (and are still reading) this have my utmost sincerity when i say i can’t express the depths of my gratitude for the experience here that you alone made possible, been they over months or years. if you still want to stay in touch, i’m willing to dispense my discord info via IM over the next few days or so. like last time, i think i’m going to leave this blog (and the archive) up, just because i like the url too much; and of course, just in case i do ever return here, though i find that to be a highly unlikely possibility, personally. for now, i’m ready to walk my own path, wherever that might lead.
light be with you.

36 questions that nobody asked me
(except @lollipoppedchainsaw )
(the 36 questions that lead to love or whatever)
https://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/11/fashion/no-37-big-wedding-or-small.html
1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest?
I hate going out to dinner so much i probably wouldnt be able to enjoy it properly
2. Would you like to be famous? In what way?
It would be interesting to see what it’s like for a short period of time, but i’d never be able to keep it up; i’d probably have an identity crisis
3. Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why?
yes i have to mentally prepare myself 100% of the time
4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you?
hanging out with the people i love is enough to keep me happy for a good while tbh. sitting around doing nothing literally nothing with them is endlessly entertaining to me even though sometimes i might make that hard to believe
5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else?
i sing to myself a lot, not so much to others- although i AM a slut for karaoke
6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want?
body because i feel thats probably what old people complain about most. plus like,, 90 years of life knowledge? sounds great to me
7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die?
probably an accident that’s almost statistically impossible
8. Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common.
single rn (ladies) but i usually try to find friends with similar music tastes because scream-singing in the car is the most fun one can have
9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
im most grateful for my dogs and for my friends! i love them and it means the world to me to have people that i can call family. also i would die without my dog juno, she is my rock (and my therapist)
10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be?
Not rly how i was raised, but i wish i had a closer relationship with my older siblings. Three of them had moved out before i was rly old enough to not be an asshole child, so most of them still see me as an asshole child and they never take me seriously. im glad i have an alright relationship with them, but that’s kinda all it is and i know i could do better
11. Take four minutes and tell your partner your life story in as much detail as possible.
Lived in Texas my whole life yeehaw. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters; 2 of them dont like me, and my relationship with the other 2 is,, certainly not bad. Had a lot of physical and mental illness in the past, but 20gayteen is definitely my year, yeet
12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be?
either speaking a different language or playing the piano. im very jealous of good piano players, and at some point i need to be able to speak a more useful language than french because so far in texas it’s proved absolutely useless (other than talking to my mom but that doesnt count)
13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know?
I’d wanna know wtf im supposed to do with my life because sweaty i still have no idea. passion? dont know her please introduce me
14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?
i wanna go skydiving bitch, no one wants to go with me! pussies!!! the lot of you
15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life?
that one time i did an entire semester’s worth of work in the last three days of the school year
16. What do you value most in a friendship?
being able to put up with my huge fucking mouth. also honesty is super important, even if it’ll make me feel shitty
17. What is your most treasured memory?
when i went camping with a bunch of friends and they were bitter i got to be in the middle of the tent because they were all cold. either that or the time i was getting really bad sleep paralysis and @lonelywaterfall & @skity stayed over so my paranoia didnt render me completely useless,,, also the paramore concert lol ive never been more vulnerable in my life.
18. What is your most terrible memory?
coming out to my mom haha
19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why?
i’d go on a trip around the world to explore/to see a few people, and i’d put extra effort into my gender expression
20. What does friendship mean to you?
comfortable silence is my kink. also emotional vulnerability and SAD BOY HOURS we cant forget those
21. What roles do love and affection play in your life?
I’m such a slut for physical affection yall have no idea please hug me as much as possible and play with my hair or my hands
22. Alternate sharing something you consider a positive characteristic of your partner. Share a total of five items.
i guess ill do the same with previous partners so.. i think being funny is probably the #1 thing i appreciate in someone. when you make me laugh so hard i cry, just know that’s like. peak. also stubbornness is strangely attractive to me, plus like,,, uh having an unexpected soft side? an appreciation of art is super important, too. also SPOON VERSATILITY.
23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s?
it was probably happier than a lot of people’s but there wasnt much to it. plus being the youngest in my ENTIRE family really sucked during my childhood because everyone picked on me and i think that’s probably what started a lot of my issues lol
24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother?
better than it could be, but definitely not what i want it to be. we both love each other and i admire her work ethic, but she gave me a lot of anxiety problems (both genetically and not) and she isnt the most understanding person. i have hope though, people change
25. Make three true “we” statements each. For instance, “We are both in this room feeling …
I’m hungry and sitting alone in front of my computer feeling like OVERSHARING ON THIS BEAUTIFUL THURSDAY MORNING, BOYS
26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share …
many, MANY animals and a lighthouse in the middle of nowhere
27. If you were going to become a close friend with your partner, please share what would be important for him or her to know.
I’m REALLY insecure about my body xd
28. Tell your partner what you like about them; be very honest this time, saying things that you might not say to someone you’ve just met.
LOVE feeling safe.
29. Share an embarrassing moment in your life.
probably every time that i’ve ever worn a dress, because i really,, really dont like wearing dresses and that’s it
30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself?
last cried by myself this morning and last cried in front of another person at my friend’s birthday party
31. Tell your partner something that you like about them already.
no partner but if youre reading this im rly proud of ur attention span. gj buddy
32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about?
i think most things can be joked about after a certain amount of time, but like,, it has to actually be funny and it has to come from someone i know isnt serious about it. if a joke is made just for the purpose of being offensive and edgy, it’s never funny no tea just truth.
33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet?
i’d regret not spending enough time with people that i love, not traveling as much as i should have, and also i’d regret not formally coming out of the closet to my family (they probably already been done knew but like. yknow). i came out to myself & the people closest to me a LONG ass time ago, but i’ve kinda seen what it did to my immediate family so im not too excited to do that to my extended family. if i’m not too much of a pussy, ill probably do it in the summer when i see them next, bc ive been meaning to for a while.
34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why?
is it bad of me to say my computer? i feel like everyone else has a much more meaningful answer lol. it would probably either be that or the papers i keep on my bulletin board, bc most of them hold a lot of sentimental value (also my prescriptions would be a pain to get copies of)
35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most disturbing? Why?
either of my parents because i dont want them dying before i reach the point where i can expect them to be happy for me when i marry a girl
36. Share a personal problem and ask your partner’s advice on how he or she might handle it. Also, ask your partner to reflect back to you how you seem to be feeling about the problem you have chosen.
personal problems? what’re those lmfao dont have any srry try me again later
i’m too much of a pussy to tag certain people so if you see this and I've had any sort of conversation with you, do it coward
(also @skity @drawinintherain )

What would VIXX be like if they were detectives and you were either their assistant or the person they were scolding the case for? Or even the one they were trying to apprehend? :0
Hakyeon
world-renowned detective
only works cases that even the government can’t solve, has an obsession with trying to solve cold cases that are over hundreds of years old
is a Gentlemen to the bone. wears nothing but the most expensive suits, addresses everyone formally, and carries a pocket watch in this day and age
doesn’t like working with partners, it isn’t his thing. like the government will offer him the opportunity to have the smartEST people in korea help him but he’ll always just wave the offer off because he’s got this on his own
he once accepted the help of a policeman and everyone was so shocked but in the end all he did was make the policeman run around making him coffee and at the end of the case hakyeon was like “thank you for all your effort!” and the policeman was like but i didn’t do anything,,,,,and hakyeon just smiled like nonsense, you made the best coffee ive ever had!
you meet hakyeon because you’re related to someone who disappeared mysteriously back in the seventeen hundreds and hakyeon just so happened to have taken on that person’s missing case as a side hobby and he shows up in front of your house
at first pretending to be a repairman and you’re like,,,,,,,are repairman always this handsome and courteous?? also you don’t understand half the big words he’s saying
but you let him in because your sink is broken and hakyeon,,,,probably because he’s like a genius,,,,actually does fix the sink and wipes his hands with this silk handkerchief he takes out of the suit he’s wearing
and in your head you’re doing math like suit + handkerchief + good vocabulary + beautiful face = sink repairman?? no no no it =,,,,
and it takes you more than normal but once hakyeon turns to suddenly ask you a question about your family tree you point at him and go
“detective cha?”
and he just smiles calmly and goes, “took you long enough to notice.”
that’s how he ends up sitting at your table, asking you various questions about where your parents are from, if you know this person or that person
and to be honest you didn’t even know someone in your family went missing that long ago
but hakyeon fills you in on what he knows and when he’s done, he says goodbye in his usual manner - with a bow
but you don’t let him leave, you grab your coat and you’re like “you’re going to go investigate more aren’t you?” and he’s a bit surprised, but nods and you’re like “ill go with you!!!”
and as i said before he’s not to excited about partners, and he does try to discourage you as you follow him out to the car outside but you’re determined to find out what happened to your relative and hakyeon,,,,,
looking into your eyes which are clear, and passionate,,,,,,
and actually interested in what he told you decides that it would be very “un-gentlemen” of him to say no to someone who is related to the victim and all that,,,,
so he let’s you come along and revisit some old sites and stop by a museum and question some more people about their relatives who knew the person at hand
and in the end hakyeon, in his mind, has managed to piece together a story that you like ???? could never have imagined
and hakyeon,,,,who sees how well you’ve kept up - even taking to recording notes on your phone while he questioned people,,,,decides to take you to his home and help you figure out his conclusion
and his home is just as elegant and as well kept as he is, everything is in the rich colors of mahogany and silver and with a kind of victorian twist to it
and hakyeon sits you down in front of a large board on which he’s pasted old photos of your relative who went missing, newspaper clippings, handwritten notes, scraps and all that and with the efficiency and lightness of a bird he goes from photo to photo, from article to article
and explains to you exactly what he believes happened on the night of the appearance so so very long ago
it’s almost like you’re watching a documentary narration as he explains each clue and then at the end he turns to look at you and goes
“they never disappeared, they simply left to be with their lover in another country.”
and you’re like WOW how,,,how could you just get that from all this random old stuff, but you clap your hands and go “what a story! you could write a book!”
and hakyeon blushes a bit becuase ok he’s used to people being like “you’re a genius” or “it was so simple?” but,,,,,a book?? you obviously were more focused on the case than most people,,,,
and you get up to study his board closer and hakyeon is standing close to you as you point at pictures and ask questions
and in the dim light of the room, he sees your face glow and that same spark in your eyes he noticed before
and the way in which your hair smells faintly of something sweet when you lean up beside him,,,
and hakyeon has never been one for a partner because they just get in the way,,,but you,,,,,,,
there’s something about you that doesn’t get in his way,,,instead there’s something about you that comforts him
and when you look at him, smiling and go��“do you have any other unsolved cases? another story you can share with me?”
hakyeon decides if there’s one person he wouldn’t mind having a long with him for the next case - it’s you
Ken
really silly private investigator who more than anything doesn’t solve actual cases, but just finds out if spouses are cheating on each other for a good amount of money
spends most of his time in his office with his legs up on the desk playing games on his computer
has an assistant that’s always trying to clean his messes, but literally the minute ken sits down at his desk there’s gum stuck in the keyboard and coffee spilled over files
his assistants always quit like two weeks in
and it’s when the last one quits that ken puts out an ad for another, because god help him he wouldn’t be able to do his job without someone keeping him functioning
and by functioning is reminding him to take his keys and that no, wearing the long jacket and the fedora just makes him stand out more
and you, who’s just moved to seoul and has no job prospects whatsoever, decide that an assistant job can’t be that hard
until you meet ken
who,when you first come through the door asking to speak to the person in charge, is laying under thirty newspapers taking a nap
and you have to nudge him with your foot to see if he’s awake
and ken’s like OH RiGHT ,,, i DIDNT GO HOME LAST NIGHT!!! and you’re like yikes who is this crazy dude
but then ken dusts himself off and you’re like ok he’s kinda cute not the point and you’re like “where’s ??? investigator ken???” and ken grins and points at himself and is like “speaking!!”
and you’re like holy shit ok um and you’re like “im here for the assistants job here’s my resume-” but ken is just like “no need, you’re hired. the first weeks a trial week though so no pay, but i will take you out to a complimentary lunch~”
and you’re like um ok but why are you here shouldn’t you be investigating cases?? and ken laughs like “oh it’s alright, i already know that all our clients are all cheating on each other i just need to get photo proof but i can do it tomorrow”
and you’re like??????? what so you don’t solve like murders
and ken is like “an have to look at dead bodies? no sirrie”
and from that moment you’re like this,,,,,,this isn’t going to be an easy (or normal) job
and it isn’t because two weeks after you work there you’re really thinking of quitting because ken is like a child, both with clients and with you always making bad jokes and slipping over the trash he has scattered
but what stops you is that ken comes through the door with his hands both in casts and you’re like ????? and he’s like “i fell down the stairs in the subway,,,,,,” and you’re like how are you going to work ??? you need to take photos ???? can you use your foot
and ken just gives you a grin,,,,a very sly grin
and you end up in his car - driving to some shady looking street - holding the camera ken is supposed to be holding and ken’s like “you see the guy coming around the corner, that’s mrs. park’s husband, now see the lady over there? that’s his lover - quick snap a photo wait not yet ok,,,,now!”
and you try to take photos but you’re like kEN WONT WE GET ARRESTED
and he’s like no no i have license but you’re like OK I DONT THO
and you see mrs. park’s husband turn and you duck, stumbling a bit and falling into ken’s lap face first
and you hear him burst out into a chuckle and you’re like hitting his thigh like DONT and he’s like sorry sorry this is just so compromised,,,
and you get what he’s implying but you’re like DO N O T even think about it
but then you try to sit back up and ken’s like “don’t, he’s still looking” and you like move a bit so your face isn’t in his lap but like your leaning your head and shoulder against his chest,,,,which is broad btw and quite,,,,,muscular,,,,
but yeah you sit there like that for a bit and ken’s like “ok we’re clear!”
and you sit back up but the client’s gone and you’re like “i don’t know if i took enough pictures-”
and ken’s just like “if you ever need to cuddle into my chest again, feel free. i’d hold you but both my arms are broken and-”
and you’re like “don’t make me break your arms AGAIN”
,,,,,,,,,but at the same time like it wasn’t ALL that bad,,,,,
Leo & Hyuk
leo is the veteran detective who has seen it all and is overworked and tired, while hyuk is the fresh blood detective who wants to pull his gun out every chance and go on high speed chases
and leo is supposed to mentor hyuk, but in reality hyuk doesn’t listen to a word he says
and leo has given up so he just let’s hyuk do whatever
but every now and then he has to hold himself back from knocking hyuk upside the head with a case file (sometimes he can’t hold himself and just. does it)
but hyuk always gets his revenge by replacing the sugar in leo’s morning coffee with salt
which ends up with leo spitting the coffee all over himself and fellow policeman ravi and ken rolling on the floor laughing while hyuk runs for his life out of the precinct
the two of them end up being assigned a case of a repeat jewel thief who has stolen from over five separate malls in the past month
and leo tells hyuk that no - he doesn’t need to bring a gun with him to the crime scene
but hyuk insists that the thief might still be there and leo is like yes, but we want the thief alive - but it’s too late hyuk is asking if the SWAT team will really show up and everyone’s like NO and he’s like “being a cop actually sucks”
so hyuk and leo show up to the last store that was robbed only a couple of hours before
and you’re still in the mall, wearing the stolen bracelet and watching from afar as the police scatter trying to figure out how you broke in and all that
and you just think it’s really funny,,,how hard they try and how they never get anywhere
but you don’t notice the two new policeman, but hyuk nudges leo and shifts his eyes toward you - the sparkling bracelet on your arm only visible for a moment before it gets hidden by your jackets sleeve again
and hyuk and leo silently make an agreement,,,,but as always leo goes through with the plan hiding behind a pillar while hyuk,,,,,,,
hyuk decides that leo can go screw himself and runs straight toward you, going “hands up!”
and you, well hello you’re a thief, you get up quickly and push a trashcan over towards hyuk as you make your escape
and hyuk trip and leo screams at him for being an idiot as he chases after you
and so if leo catches you, he manages to corner you in a stairwell where the door you’ve reached is blocked
and you’re like,,,,,,,,,, trying to pretend that someone planted to bracelet on you after the robbery
but leo is watching you with narrowed eyes so you know he doesn’t believe you so you’re like “ok, fine. arrest me.” and leo does put you in handcuffs but he’s like “tell me how you managed to rob the store” and you just grin and shake your head like “uh-uh you can’t get me to talk, uncuff me and i will.”
and leo’s too seasoned of a policeman to know you’ll just sock him and run for it so instead he uncuffs one and cuffs the other to his own arm and he’s like “there, you’re practically free.” and you’re like lmao you call this free??
and he’s like “im not an idiot, but if you want both hands behind your bac-”
and you’re like fine whatever let’s walk out like this - but as leo takes a step forward you yank the cuffs and he teeters backwards with you and as he falls, you fall ontop of him
and leo is close to your face and you’re like “oops~ i didn’t mean it~” and he just,,,,well you’re close and you’re not exactly,,,,,bad to look at
plus you’re pressed up against him and he’s like “get off” and you take a moment before you do and you don’t hesitate to notice how red he’s gone in the face
but then you also, very easily undo your cuff with the key you stole from his backpocket when you made him fall
and leo doesn’t see until he hears the ‘clink’ of the cuffs unlocking and he looks down but you’re already dashing up the stairs and laughing and you’re like
“i hope we see each other again officer- i also left a giiiiiiiift~”
and leo is too stunned and angry, but he looks down at his wrist and sees that you slipped the bracelet onto his cuffed hand as well and he’s like HOW THE HELL
but all he’s left with is your laughters echo
and if hyuk catches you it’s because he’s still faster and more agile than you and ends up tackling you to the floor before you can escape
and as he’s arresting you, leo appears and hyuk just sticks out his tongue like he’s five like “hehe hyung i got them and you didn’t because your old and can’t run~~~” and leo is like shut it boy
back at the station hyuk and leo are questioning you about the other robberies and you’re like not interested in anything leo is saying
instead you keep making eyes at hyuk
and hyuk is kinda like,,,,,,what,,,,,because he’s oblivious until you’re like “id like to speak to officer hyuk. alone.”
and leo says something under his voice but leaves and hyuk sits down and is like “are you going to tell me how you did it?”
and you’re innocently like “did what? by the way are you single?”
and hyuk snorts like “huh, no!” and you can tell he’s lying
because he’s still pretty young and the way you’re looking at him gets him a bit ,,,,,,hot under the collar if i may say
and you like lean over the table as much as you can and you’re like
“officer hyuk, you’re cute. i think i know what i want to rob next.”
and hyuk is like “ah-aha! so you admit it, you did rob those places?”
and you just smile and bring your face a bit closer and you’re like
“can’t you uncuff me?~ it hurts~”
and hyuk is like “i,,,,,i can’t do that but if you sit down-”
and you’re like “i don’t want to~ i want to be closer to you.”
and hyuk swallows because,,,ok,,,,,your eyes are,,,,,,so,,,,pretty,,,but no you’re a thief. he just needs your confession
and so again he’s like “what do you mean when you say you know what you’re going to rob next?”
and you just giggle and hyuk has to fan himself because wow was your shirt this lowcut when they brought you in?
and you pull back slowly as if you’re going to sit
but then you stop and lean back in and you’re like
“i don’t steal jewelry or whatever. i only steal boys hearts~ and you’re next officer hyuk -”
and you tilt your head as if you’re going to lean up for a kiss
and hyuk is sweating now but he pulls back and is like,,,,,,,, “officer leo will handle it from here!”
and he runs out with his hand over his mouth because,,,,,,goddammit you’re a criminal but why are you so ,,,,,,,,,,,, enticing,,,,,
Ravi
really clumsy and easily emotional policeman who can’t work cases like murder or kidnapping because ok he’ll cry at literally anything
but it’s ok!! he doesn’t mind doing the usual responding to cats stuck in trees or loose grandmas wandering the park calls
and he’ll try to help anyone out with any problem - big or small
even though he looks intimidating and though, the whole tattoos and bright hair
he’s actual a soft guy at heart
and some of the other policemen make fun of him a bit, but for the most part people tend to take care of him at the station because he has the best intentions
you come in one day with your friends who is terrified because their little brother didn’t come in from school yet and it’s been two hours
and while every other policeman rushes past you and tells you to wait a moment, policeman ravi immediately pulls you both aside and asks what happened
and your friend barely manages to say something before she’s in tears, so you explain for her
and ravi scribbles down some notes and nods along and he’s like ‘ok, let’s go to her brothers school first.’
and your friend wants to come, but she’s in hysterics so you tell her to wait at the station while you and policeman ravi investigate
and as you’re leaving you’re like “are you sure there’s nothing important you’re bust wi-”
and ravi waves his hand like no- there’s nothing more important than a a missing child
and you nod because he’s right, but also like,,,,,,,are cops usually this kind??
but yeah the both of you show up at the school that says your friends brother left by himself hours ago when classes ended
and you decide there’s only two places he hangs out - the park or library so you try the library
and ravi almost turns the whole place over, even manages to knock down a display of books as he looks for the kid
and he’s so devoted that watching him makes you work even harder too
and so it’s a no in the library so you two split up to search the park when you reach it
and when you meet up ,,,,,, you light up because ravi is there,,,,, holding your friends kid brother on his shoulders
and you’re like you found him!!!
and ravi is like “i did!! he was hiding on the playground, but i let him play with my badge and he agreed to come out!!”
and you’re like oh thank god, it’s good he’s safe!!
and you three head back to the station where you friend jumps up when she sees her brother and she’s like @ policeman ravi like how do i ever thank you
and she reaches up to kiss his cheek and ravi is like !!!! oh
but he just touches the skin and smile shyly
and you like look around but then lean up and kiss his cheek as well except this time ravi turns a bright BRIGHT red
and is like “t-t-thank you???” and you’re like no no thank you !!!! and he’s like ,,,,,still blushing
and then you remember to get the badge back from the little boy and you pin it back onto ravi’s lapel
and as you’re pinning it on he’s like “i could get used to this,,,,,”
and you’re like “,,,,hmm????”
and ravi is like OH NOTHING I SAID NOTHING
but his face betrays his feelings and you
plus the entire damn world knows that
Hongbin
undercover detective
everyone believes anything he says because well,,,,look at him,,,,,could a face like that lie to you???
the answer is yes it could hongbin is not only a good detective but also a very good actor
was asked to pose as a bartender at a club where the police believed there was illegal drug activity and he’s been doing it for a couple of months now that all the regulars have become pretty well acquainted with him
is the heartthrob of the station he works at and,,,,,at the bar he works out
basically anywhere he goes people are bound to find him attractive and therefore he’s always the “most popular” on holidays
from gifts from fellow detective to gifts from the shady people who think he’s just a simple bartender
the other detectives have a joke about how hongbin won’t even need to call a bust, one of the suppliers will just gift him the drugs one day
you’re also a detective, set to go undercover with hongbin just as extra security measure
and you’re supposed to just be like another regular who comes by the bar for drinks and stays at the end of the bar where if hongbin comes over to whisper something only you two can hear
but for the most part you don’t interact as to not bring up suspicion
until one night you and hongbin are both minding your own business, doing your jobs separately
when one of the suspected drug dealers sits next to you and starts being unnecessarily touchy
and you’re a detective, you know how to handle this so you just reply calmly to his advances and say you need to step out for a moment
and hongbin notices and watches from the corner of his eye as you leave,,,,,,but then the guy follows you
and hongbin has always gotten a bad read on this guy but he knows he shouldn’t leave his post or he could blow his cover
,,,,but also you’re a fellow detective to he makes up some excuse about taking out the trash
and he goes outback to see the guy has pinned you to the wall and he’s about to pull him off when you push the guy off with your foot and knock him unconscious with one swing to the cheek
and as he like blacks out on the floor hongbin is like “,,,,,,,you,,,,i was worried about you but,,,,,,i guess for no reason”
and you just smile and shrug and you’re like “it’s fine, good to know you have my back - but you could have given us both away.”
and hongbin gets a bit red and he’s like youRE RIGHT but you know,,,a fellow detectives safety is much more important,,,,,
and you’re like that’s so sweet but go back in before they get suspicious
and hongbin nods as you like squat down next to the guy you knocked out and check his pulse to see if he’s alive
and hongbin inside is like,,,,,wow,,,,they’re,,,,,,,really strong about you
and tbh he can’t stop thinking about you even though they take you off the case because you did knock out one of the suspected dealers so you can’t show yourself in that bar
but when the bust happens, hongbin is glad to see that you’re on the task force
and you two help bring down the drug smuggling business in a police raid
but as you’re hauling away all the guys the one who’d tried to hurt you calls you a choice name as you’re handcuffing him and hongbin out of nowhere ‘accidentally’ knocks his elbow into the guy’s face and you’re like
???????
and hongbin, whose never been super confrontational is like,,,,,,, “sorry, i still feel kind of bad about that night from before”
and you’re giggling like ,,,,,ok cute,,,,,don’t worry though we won in the end!!!
and hongbin is like yeah!!!! and it’s cute you’re both like kinda smiling to yourselves
but you end up smiling even more when you find out your next undercover job involves the two of you ‘pretending’ to be lovers and well,,,,,,you know,,,,,,,pretend might end up being something more hehe,,,,,

Misaeng (미생 – 아직 살아 있지 못한 자; Misaeng – Ajik sala ittji mothan ja) is a 2014 South Korean television series based on the webtoon series of the same title by Yoon Tae-ho. It aired on tvN from October 17 to December 20, 2014 for 20 episodes.
The title translates to Go (Baduk) terminology meaning “an incomplete life” (literally “not yet” (미) “birth” (생), meaning “not yet alive”).
Misaeng became a cultural phenomenon and recorded high viewership ratings for a cable network program in Korea. tvN is known for its record breaking dramas.
For starters, Misaeng isn’t your typical K-Drama. If you’re here for something out of cute ol’ sappy romance or melodrama, you’re on the wrong boat. You might not enjoy and appreciate Misaeng if that is what you’re looking for.
However, if you wish for something to relate to, especially for white-collar job workers, I think this is something you’d want to spend some time on and emotionally invest yourself to. Not that I am saying you should, but I am trying to give you reason to. It’s not your typical dose of K-drama and I’d say it’s more biting and true than most dramas, you’ll find yourself a little frustrated at the different situations portrayed in the drama, but would eventually find yourself as celebratory with the little victories our protagonists experience as the drama gradually progresses and approaches the end.
The Cast:
Im Si-wan as Jang Geu-rae
Lee Sung-min as Oh Sang-shik
Kang So-ra as Ahn Young-yi
Kang Ha-neul as Jang Baek-gi
Byun Yo-han as Han Seok-yool
Kim Dae-myung as Kim Dong-shik
Shin Eun-jung as Sun Ji-young
The Plot:
Since he was a child, the board game baduk has been everything to Jang Geu-rae. But when he fails at achieving his dream of becoming a professional baduk player, Geu-rae must leave his isolated existence and enter the real world armed with nothing but a high school equivalency exam on his resume. Through an acquaintance’s recommendation, he gets hired as an intern at One International, a large trading company.
There, Geu-rae meets his boss, manager Oh Sang-shik, who’s a workaholic and has a warm personality; fellow intern Ahn Young-yi, who attracts her colleagues’ ire because of her impressive educational credentials and by being extremely competent at any task; and Jang Baek-gi, a geeky co-worker whose anxious nature masks his inner ambition. Geu-rae learns to navigate and adapt to corporate culture, with baduk as his guide.
Review:
I wasn’t really attracted to Misaeng at first sight. Reading the plot talk about the main character, Jang Geu Rae (Im SIwan), being an ex-Baduk player and it being his guiding principle as he drown in the ocean of harsh reality isn’t really the kind of description or plot I was expecting, since most of the time I loved the promise of sappy, hilarious romance and not what happens in and out of the office or the co-existence of a co-worker to another or their families. No, it didn’t sound that interesting at first and then I discovered that Im Siwan was acting the main role and that made it a bit more appealing than before.
Basically, Im Siwan is what pushes me to watch the drama.’
It wasn’t his first drama project, but I think Misaeng is what became the main turning point to his career, to which he received the most recognition for playing the role of a common white-collar job worker.
But what makes it different to his previous roles? I think everything. I mean, surely Siwan has already proven himself to be a very resilient actor. He had minor roles in the past, but he stood out on his own. People loved him for his looks, but his talent in acting is just one of a kind. He just gives off this positive vibe–that makes you believe how good his heart is and how honest his character is. I think, in some ways or two, Misaeng revealed another side to Im Siwan; the side which is the worker–the one working hard, but consequently still receives criticism from people–the public–who don’t really know him.
Considering this, his character in this drama is quite different from his most recent drama The King In Love. His character in that drama is quite adorable and laid back at some point, but I also loved the transformation that exhibited his masculinity and prowess in playing the role of a King who assumed his title the harsh way.
Anyway, just saying he has so much in store for you even in Misaeng if you haven’t watched the drama. And I think if you’d been distraught by his role in that drama (or wants to see more of him or just craves something Im Siwan) you will definitely enjoy watching him as Jang Geu Rae to the point you’ll no longer look at him as Im Siwan again, but Jang Geu Rae–the common office worker, who probably half of its viewers could identify themselves to.
The drama tackled more on the more serious aspects of life, especially working in the office. They had the focus on trading–it’s technicalities and what goes in the life of a tradesman–which is a good thing. It drives the story to not stick to one single plot, but instead pull through different scenarios that allows us to see how the characters gradually grow from their old habits.
I don’t know half of what they actually discuss about trading and stuff, but just like medical dramas, which use alien jargons to an outsider like me from a different field, it should be distressing to try and understand what they are talking about, but I consider it a challenge to get something from it at the end of the day, so I do my best to read between the situation and not just watch for the sake of it. Sometimes, these situation–though half the time you don’t understand just like how French or Chinese or Spanish wouldn’t be so appealing to a foreign speaker at first–gradually bring us to the moral of the story and everything just follows and finally makes sense.
In the beginning of the first episode, Jang Geu Rae is in Jordan for another assignment. I didn’t know what to think of it first, as it is a one of a kind prologue that Misaeng introduced me to; I wasn’t sure where it will lead the story to, but eventually it was what made me start to become more curious of the protagonist and what made me love Im Siwan even more.
His character is just pleasantly allegorical even in the first episode, leaning towards his passion for the game of Baduk and its principles. He used it to identify himself with the daily life of a common worker and armed himself of the lessons he gathered from playing it since he was a child.
Though, he started out as a timid, very isolated and introverted kind of person that lacked social skills, and who only had a GED under his name, his own morals has helped him to become what he is. This is clearly seen in the first few minutes of the first episode. We can tell that he has learned and became a remarkable tradesman after all that he has been through, that puts more than effort in his work, to the point he will sacrifice anything to get what he aims to do–even doing impossible stunts, running along the street while chasing a rat, and standing up even after getting hit by a car. All that will be on the first episode.
This side of Jang Geu Rae is very different to the person that he is as the drama flashes back to how he started. He wasn’t nearly as knowledgeable, and far from being an expert at anything except Baduk. The game is the only thing he ever had for the past twenty-six years and is doing things on his own since he didn’t really need friends to do that. He has been kept away for too long from the real world that stepping out of the confines of his room and of Baduk is just overwhelming for him. It made him look like a fool–not even knowing how to use the photocopy machine in the office–and people took him as a fool.
But as time goes by, Jang Geu Rae’s strong will combined with his effort to learn makes him a better candidate from the rest. The heart he puts in everything and the rawness of his approach with life because of his ignorance (about what happens in the trading world) and positivism even in any dire situation became his sharp-edged sword in the battle for survival. It made him very different from his calculative, college graduate colleagues who argued about anything and everything and gave up at any chance they had without even trying, who feared what wasn’t even in front of them. A complete opposite of Jang Geu Rae.
He is like a ray of light, but nonetheless human enough to feel the kind of pains any struggling worker would in an arguably stressful environment.
So, this is where the other characters come in. He meets his immediate boss, Oh Sang Sik, who at any other day I’d beg to be my boss too. He’s hard on the surface, but is compassionate and a family man. He pushes away Jang Geu Rae in the beginning, realizing how much of a failure he is with only a GED and on top of that only has the right connection to earn him a position in the company. A good for nothing. But he will eventually see the positive traits the inexperienced Geu Rae has.
Dong Sik, Mr. Oh’s right hand man, also deserves an applause, considering how cute this colleague is. He first appears like such an ass during his first meeting with Geu Rae, but I think that’s just him being too busy he didn’t have time to properly attend to someone who didn’t really know what he was doing in the office in the first place. Eventually, he warms up to Geu Rae, even siding him at time that Mr. Oh is on his period and is really not in the mood to let Geu Rae off the nagging. What made him more charming, though, is his loyalty to the team, how responsible he is, and how much he cares for Mr. Oh.
Young Yi, may probably just be the best intern from their group, having an outstanding educational background and a wide range of knowledge about languages and how the trading industry works, she’s a gem that would have great stood out if lead by a leader that could have helped her release her own potential. Yet, things doesn’t go smoothly for her just as they all get hired for One International. There are just colleagues that are too sexist they didn’t acknowledge her talent and undermined her.
Suk Yool, at first, may be misinterpreted as the slacker pervert, considering the way he acts to fulfill his job in the site in Ulsan where he was assigned to work for as an intern–he takes lots of women’s pictures and even touches one’s butt just to know the kind of fabric that she’d worn. That’s a little suspicious there, but he deserves the slap he gets from them. Then he meets Geu Rae–the calm in the center of the storm–and eventually a deeper story to him is released.
However, I truthfully don’t like his gossipy character, but what can I do? He’s the on point representation of those colleagues in the office who knows anything and everything about the latest snitch stories or horrors that goes on. And in all honesty, who doesn’t want a little gossip? Everyone would beg to disagree!
Baek Ki, on the other hand, as portrayed by Kang Haneul, doesn’t really deviate from his past roles–smarty-pants with an ambition, but also cute. Don’t allow this guy to smile or else it’ll be on your mind for weeks.
Anyway, to me, Baek Ki, is to whom I’ll probably identify 60% of me with back when I was still a student. He’s smart, though typically quiet to conceal his thoughts and real feelings–he doesn’t go all out, and very critical. He is a perfectionist in all sense and a strategist that plans ahead of him, making him a second best candidate to Young Yi. But sometimes these characteristics is what makes him a very mysterious and dangerous man, because he is too closed off and too firm with his opinions, that he appears a little uncompassionate. Moreso, he’s too perfect he’s always set to be on the safe side and out to fulfill his ambition. I’m sometimes like that so I understand him the best.
That’s also why I feel a little sorry for him when he is put in the Steel Team, which doesn’t really allow him to do anything but run errands. He has so much to learn and so many things ahead of him but it is being wasted away by bad superiors.
There are still many other characters that I want to talk about, but it might take me writing a book to finish and since I am still just at the beginning of the drama, I don’t think it is right to close a chapter without fully knowing everyone, so I’ll leave the introduction of the other characters in my next blog post about Misaeng (Final Impression).
Author Yoon Tae-ho has done a great job in drawing into a book the analogy between life in the modern society and the game of Baduk, a chess-like strategy board game. Baduk has played a very important role in the entirety of the drama and the life of Jang Geu Rae or the typical white-collar worker in this story in snippet amounts all throughout, giving us flashbacks of Geu Rae’s past and what he has mastered and applied in his fight to redeem himself from his slump.
Of course, the drama adaptation didn’t disappoint, considering it has shown vivid descriptions of everyday life and struggles of Korean corporate culture and the little laughs in between as his imperfect characters deal with the fierce competition for survival in a very stressful environment, interpersonal work relationship and politics in the workplace.
It’s realism has actually impacted so many white collar workers that it gained immense popularity among that bracket.
I couldn’t agree more with how well they reacted to Misaeng, since the drama talks about the small people who make up the workplace. Us. It talks about us and how in reality we deal with the many situations we face that often don’t go our way. It’s giving honor to the most hardworking people of society, celebrates their being them, giving them hope that they aren’t just mere workers in the eyes of another but a substantial member that if without can be that great of a loss as well.
Also, It gives us a view of one of the many jobs in the world from the perspective of the writer and look just how thought through, intelligent and well researched the drama is. It has lived up to its name and promise. Didn’t disappoint no matter how gradually slow the progress of the story is. It’s not frustrating but enduring. It’s just the right blend of a slice of life, a little sprinkle of romance and a bucket of cheap laughter. It’s the kind of drama that you soon start embracing and caring for the characters.
Nothing you would want to miss.
A drama you may not want to marathon in one day, but it’s like the kind of book that you take your time in reading under the light of a lamp at night because you want to relish in the beauty of it until the end. And something so great can be taken slowly for days. I think you will appreciate it more that way, just saying.
Rating this drama so far, since Misaeng gives me the feels, I give it 4.7 out of 5.
Also, I’d like to share a beautiful quote from the drama that truly made a lasting impression to me so far. Tell me if those aren’t words of a wise man. The drama has so much wit and heart it is so hard to ignore.
