#dont fucking buy midnight sun
Text
Looks like everyone is writing off Midnight Suns as a flop, I don't pay attention to sales, so it might be, but that's a shame cause damn it is a good game.
Apparently the Avengers game is still keeping people from buying basically any non Spider-Man related Marvel game which is so fucking stupid. For example, if you don't like the game mechanics of Midnight Suns or dont have the money, sure, but to write it off completely cause you didn't like a completely different game from a different developer? I would think more people would know by now how easy it is to watch YouTube vids of gameplay and story to see if something is interesting to them.
Whatever

moving this to my new blog so I can pin it again lol
@stregoni-benefici you are completely correct but I just wanted to expand on this a little bit - also i’m putting this under a read more cause this got a lot longer than i originally thought it would be
sexism: smeyers treatment of female characters throughout the entire series is extremely problematic. like you don’t even need to read deep into the books to see that. the backstories of all her female characters all involve some form of trauma and are significantly more violent than the male vampires (Rosalie and Esme enduring physical/sexual assault meanwhile Edward dies of the flu and Emmett gets vibe checked by a bear).
she also creates the idea that a woman isn’t complete without children/being a mother. every female vampire in the series is desperate for children yet can’t, its mentioned in pretty much every book and extreme emphasis is placed on how tragic this is. a female character wanting children isn’t wrong or sexist at all but the way its written in twilight makes it seem like its something a woman has to do in order to be happy and smeyer pretty much cements this idea by making Bella suddenly desperate to have Renesmee despite showing no interest in children/audibly voicing her thoughts against having children in eclipse and the start of breaking dawn (i’m pretty sure Bella has a line of dialogue in the books where she says something like she didn’t realise it was something she wanted/needed until it happened bit I’m not sure I try not to read/think about breaking dawn)
there’s also the way she writes female characters, specifically Rosalie. its mentioned throughout the series that Rosalie has extreme mechanical skills and multiple degrees in STEM fields but its barely ever shown, and instead her characterisation focuses on being obsessed with her looks (first couple pages of this, written by smeyer for new moon), and being a ‘stereotypical bitch’. for the first three books most of her character/dialogue is based on being cold and rude to Bella. She is unnecessarily painted as the villain for having different views on Bella (quite literally) giving up her life and future to be with a man (which is a whole other can of worms). the same is done to the character of Leah in eclipse/breaking dawn. Leah is a woman in the Quileute Tribe, she has been severely affected by the Cullen’s presence in the area and is painted as a character that the reader is supposed to dislike simply because she doesn’t like Bella/the Cullen’s despite having extremely valid reasons not to
anti-Native - smeyers treatment of native tribes is horrendous. she has profited fr years off of of native american culture for years and has done so without any acknowledgements. furthermore, she also demonises native american teens (especially in new moon) by calling them wild, violent, dangerous and out of control and then uses these stereotypes to create a contrast between the self control and patience of the Cullen’s and make them seem more like the good guys, and the wolf pack being lesser. She does this again with the treatment of Jacobs character in new moon and especially eclipse.
Jacob starts off in new moon as Bella’s best friend. he helps Bella come out of a severe depression caused when Edward left at the start of the book. however in eclipse his character makes a complete flip and he becomes moody, temperamental, argumentative and disrespectful of Bella’s boundaries. his character becomes unrecognisable and despite smeyers claims of a love triangle, it is obvious what the outcome will be. I have seen countless instances of people on this site claiming they hate Jacob because he is a dick/disrespectful/just as unhealthy as Edward. this was done on purpose by smeyer as she uses Jacob to make Edward seem like the obvious and correct choice for Bella. if you need more proof of this, take the scene where Jacob kisses Bella without her consent and she breaks her hand when punching him, Edward swoops in and almost gets into a fight with Jacob for touching Bella without her consent. this is an obvious attempt to make Jacob seem like the villain and Edward the white saviour
there’s also the treatment of the native characters by the white characters in the books. multiple times in the series, the native characters are called/compared to dogs/brutes and have a distinct unpleasant smell. I don’t think I need to explain how this is racist. the pack also helps the Cullen’s/saves Bella’s lives and never receive any acknowledgement/are treated any better by the Cullen’s/anyone really. the pack are only ever used as a way to make the Cullen’s look better.
there’s also some pretty obvious similarities to colonisation with the Cullen’s entering Quiluete lands which then forces them to start phasing into wolves (and I’m pretty sure none of the pack actually want to start phasing). also, remember Leah? the only female member of the wolf pack? because of the change she effectively can’t have children? that has implications.
and to top it all off, after doing all that, smeyer has never once addressed this or even acknowledged the Quileute Tribe.
pedophilic - I mean even without mentioning breaking dawn its pretty awful. first of all you’ve got the blatant sexualisation of minors throughout the entire series. Edward is 17 throughout the series and smeyer is writing literal paragraphs about his chiselled abs. Jacob is 16/17 when she has him running about forks topless with a 6 pack. this is way more apparent in the movies but its still a huge issue in the books and lead to Taylor Lautner being confronted by adult fans trying to get him to sign their underwear, and being forced into being shirtless for most of the movies which made him extremely uncomfortable (Elizabeth Reaser (Esme) briefly talks about this in the ID10T podcast on spotify). and just as a reminder, Taylor was 16 when the first one was filmed and 17 for the second.
Breaking Dawn is a whole other can of worms. the glaringly obvious issue is Jacob imprinting on a literal newborn baby. now the concept of imprinting itself has racist elements to it, but its heavily implied in the series that imprinting will inevitably lead to a romantic relationship. Jacob imprinting on Renesmee and waiting until she is old enough to enter into a romantic relationship (never mind the fact that shes ‘old enough’ she will still technically be 5) is pretty much grooming. The same happens with Quil and his imprint, Claire (a two year old) where I’m pretty sure there’s a scene in breaking dawn where Jacob and Leah are watching Quil play with Claire and talking about how Quil isn’t going to date anyone because he and Claire are ‘pretty much inevitable’ (i might be wrong though, like I said I try not to read/think about breaking dawn)
smeyer has also written a spin off book (its like 250 odd pages) called the short second life of Bree Tanner (Bree is that newborn vampire killed after the battle in eclipse by the Volturi btw). In this book, Bree is 15 almost 16, and another character Diego is 18 which is definitely pushing the boundaries of ok. (also as a side note, funny how Bree and Jacob are literally the same age and smeyer states multiple times how Bree deserved better and is only a child (who straight up kills people), yet when it comes to Jacob he has to be a responsible adult and is vilified for every mistake he makes)
racist - smeyer refused to let Catherine Hardwicke (director of the first twilight) have a diverse cast because she ‘imagined them a certain way’ (white) and it was a fight to get Edi Gathegi cast as Laurent and had to compromise with smeyer to make Bella’s friend group more diverse. this woman straight up refused to hire more diverse actors and only agreed to when they were side characters/villains.
Also in the official companion book/guide to twilight, smeyer literally writes that vampire venom makes you white
‘the venom leeches all pigmentation from the skin into a more indestructable vampire form…regardless of original ethnicity a vampires skin will be exceptionally pale’ (official illustrated guide pg.69)
this is a whole lot of bullshit cause she is literally whitewashing characters, but when you pair this with the idea that vampires possess inhuman levels of beauty it becomes extremely problematic and implies that being pale/white is more beautiful than darker skin tones.
also, if we go back to Laurent’s character for a second. so Laurent is one of the only characters who isn’t described as white (in the books he is described as having a pale olive skin tone) and in the first book he comes across as pretty reasonable (warning carlisle about James/Victoria, travels up to Denali and tries out the veggie lifestyle) but in new moon, his characterisation pulls a 180° (sensing a theme here) and is suddenly trying to kill Bella as a favour to Victoria and is Evil™ despite in the first book he literally says to Carlisle he didn’t particularly like travelling with James/Victoria and was only really doing it for convenience. where did this undying loyalty come from? yet again, smeyer is completely disregarding established characterisation in POC characters specifically to villainise them.
and finally, we have Jasper. for some reason (that reason being that she is racist) smeyer decides to make Jasper a confederate soldier in his human life. if you don’t have a lot of knowledge on the american civil war, the confederacy were the side of the US that seceded from the union in order to keep their slaves. Jasper was a confederate soldier, and not just any soldier, but a major. Jasper was a major in an army that fought for 4 years to keep the existence of slavery (and don’t even try to say that slavery wasn’t the root cause of the civil war. states rights aye? states rights to do what). now there’s an argument out there made by certain fans that a lot of people joined the confederate army out of pride/were forced into it cause of conscription to try and head canon the racism away but like that doesn’t matter. there was literally no need to make jasper a confederate in the first place. if she was so desperate to have a civil war vampire then she could have made him a member of the union. its been common knowledge that the confederacy was racist for a long time now, smeyer has absolutely no excuses here.
a lot of these issues overlap and I have probably missed heaps of issues (so feel free to add on) but hope this helps explain why smeyer can *ahem* get tae absolute fuck

If you can get through high school reading SparkNotes instead of the assigned novels, you can get through 2020 by consuming Midnight Sun vicariously here or via PDF instead of buying it and funding a racist author who has profited and continues to profit from the exploitation of indigenous people.
#please dont buy it#hasnt Smeyer got enough cash#im not saying you should illegally download midnight sun#im also not saying you shouldnt#fuck smeyer#Twilight#midnight sun#someone stop me#Indigenous

some ppl can get very... let's be nice and say 'interpretive', when it comes to the cullens. but I can't understand why they are so excited about midnight sun. The cullens will not act like they do in these peoples lame repetitive textposts. Racism and mormon ideals shaped the the entire saga and the cullens will be the same unlikeble characters smeyer wrote in the other books and people will be disappointed. I think it's very telling how some can say fuck smeyer yet give her their money..
you’ve made some points. however, ppl have the right to be excited abt their faves (unless you stan the confederate which is 😐) no matter how boring and unlikable they are to others. i dont think cullen stans will be disappointed by midnight sun if what they’re looking for is new content. this whole book is literally just team edward/cullen fan service. now if theyre looking for GOOD content.........well this book IS written by smeyer so................
i think the fandom (or at least the people i interact with) understands that this book isnt gonna be particularly well written, groundbreaking, or even like.......good. ofc, the twihard communities on facebook and instagram are gonna love it, but that’s why we don’t claim them lmfao. i think midnight sun will just be more content to make fun of. i personally loveeeeeee making fun of twilight bc it���s just so easy to and some of yall are funny as hell, so i’ll take my meme folder and totally legally obtained copy of the book and have a blast with the absurdity, as well as rightfully drag the inevitable racist parts and call out the cullens bc i was gonna do that anyway. thankfully i have the capacity to do both and my contributions wont put any coin in smeyer’s purse whatsoever.
now when it comes to ppl saying “fuck smeyer” yet giving her money anyway........ i have some thoughts....
ofc i can only speak for myself, and obviously, all of this is my opinion. ppl can spend their money however they want, but im definitely gonna side-eye the “i bought the book BUT i still hate smeyer/donated to the tribe/reblogged anti-racist resources/etc” crowd. like do you really hate smeyer then? do you REALLY? maybe im just built different. or maybe racism holds more weight to me bc i’ve actually experienced it as a Black person and it doesnt exist as some new internet concept for me. idk. either way, there is just no “BUT” to me when it comes to racists, especially if you have the choice NOT to financially support the very racist you drag on the internet.
talking shit on this blue hellsite is free. rereading the twilight books you got back in 2009 before you knew better puts zero dollars and zero cents into smeyer’s pockets. buying a brand new copy of midnight sun literally does put some dollars and some cents into her pockets though, even if you donate to the Quileute nation too. as twilight fans, i feel that we should all donate to the Quileute nation anyway, whenever possible. but even if you pay for a brand new copy of midnight sun AND donate to the tribe, you’re still giving the racist author your money. you just are. no amount of money donated to the tribe can negate smeyer gaining money from you buying her book. it is what it is. you can spend your money how you want but like...... *jane voice* keep that in mind. obviously its better to buy the book and donate rather than buy the book and NOT donate, but maybe ask yourself why having a new, amazon supplied copy of ~*twilight again but in edward’s perspective*~ is worth the cognitive dissonance when paired with the abundance of “fuck smeyer” posts on your blog.
oh and also! it’s so easy to get the book in ways that dont give her any/as much money! there are local libraries. there are secondhand bookstores. i know damn well it’s gonna end up in value village in a couple months right next to all the other twilight books. there are p*r*t*d copies BOUND to end up on the internet within a week of the book dropping. i probably couldnt get away w this this bc im Black, but fuckin steal the book from target or walmart or something!!! use that white privilege if you got it!!!!
if youre like me and wanna read midnight sun but dont wanna give a racist your money, there are ways to get it. but pls spare me if youre gonna cry “fuck smeyer” on here and still buy the book lmao.

so im obvs not going to buy/preorder midnight sun when it comes out because fuck smeyer, but do you know if there will be any posted online? i know some blogs will be leaking them, i just dont know who or where to go to or if it would be easier to just wait it out and eventually get it from the library?? sorry for bugging you if you dont know or cant help! i just really wanted to read the book, but ill die before i give her my money lol
Nah you’re fine babe, I gotchu
If anyone reading this is someone who will have a physical copy by tmrw then here’s how you can be a good samaritan for us
Here’s an anon in @bellasredchevy ‘s asks who will most definitely NOT ;) help out in a similar way . if you’re that anon then here’s your sign
@someonelookingpretty is firmly AGAINST emailing versions of midnight sun to ppl. bc that’s very BAD!!!! we would NEVER condone that!!!
Donate to the Quileute tribe. Period. Because if you do, then you can get yourself some non-Smeyer sanctioned Twilight merch!!! Also to be a good person and to help others, most importantly.
If anyone else knows of any other ways to definitely NOT pirate MS then pls feel free to ... well you know. :)

#anyway we dont need a whole book on edward explaining why his shitty behaviour is actually fine thx I actually read the draft she published on her website back in the day, and Eddyboy didn’t even explain why his shitty behavior was fine, he just pulled all the shitty behaviour. Mavbe there was a line or two about “i probably should’nt do the thing but I can’t help doing the thing so I’m doing the thing” kinda thing. Which is arguably worse idk. Also he pined. A LOT.
I remember reading the midnight sun stuff in college and kept just thinking abt how much this would be my THING if it was pitched as some dark gothic fucked up romance instead of a Faux-Dark legit romance where we're actually supposed to totally buy into Eddy as a viable romantic option with his "I know this spying on a 16 year old and sneaking into her room is technically creepy but I just cant help it"

Homesquared Chapter 1
Alright so, Im back on the homesquared, whoo
also I got the patreon, but am only now realizing that since buying it literally on the last day of the month im getting charged 25 dollars now and another 25 in a couple hours at midnight when it becomes Jan 1 for the month of January. Never had Patreon before so whoops
Probably should have waited a bit on that? But on the other hand I did intend/budgeted to have gotten patreon sooner so same difference really.
Anyone just gonna focus on Non Patreon Content in this post for obvious reason, so away we go!
Gotta love the immediate comparison to Dirk’s “Plants are a man’s best friend” speech from Jake lol
“Plants, Jake has decided, are really the best sort of chums. They are quiet, friendly, and easy to please. All they need is a little water and fresh earth, and they are perfectly happy to lie there all day in the sun. And they don’t make increasingly inhumane arms deals and appear on talk shows expounding on the dangers of interspecies marriage. They have never, as far as Jake knows, fucked a clown.”
Not as bad as Dirk’s “I like it when people are helpess against me” but still not really a good view either with Jake’s “I like it when people are low maintenance and don’t expect much effort from me”
I like the brackets being fully established as (Not Important) with the (==>)’s when really when you use them in text to me it always felt more like sidenote: (The Stuff in the brackets isn’t the main focus but still good to know before you continue on)
Theres a lot of Focus on Plants in general and therefore space in all of this speech and text as well, maybe a subtle nod to Calliope being in the text
“ JAKE: It appears that no matter what timeline were inhabiting i can count on you to be absolutely impenetrable! “
Dirk is a top and Jake is a bottom in their relationship, not surprising
Brain Ghost Dirk is hella mean, no idea if that’s more leaning towards that Jake hates himself or Dirk is generally an asshole but considering how BGD said he is both and the alcoholism im gonna go with both
But, the core of it is that BGD is how Jake is manifesting his Hope of something better in a hopeless situation, Hope generally meaning good times and happiness, but also delusions, so is this spy thing a good idea for Jake to do? Jake and (Dirk) certainly think so, but whats the real value in that?
also
Dirk: Your emotions don’t matter
Jake: Alright
nvm this is definitely a splinter of Dirk desperately crawling his way back to relevance through the only means available to him, so starved for attention of any kind at all that he dedicates two panels of himself sparkling and laying over a desk while pouring on about how distracting he is
“DIRK: It’s not because you’re a man. You’re a god.
JAKE: Oh right. That.
DIRK: The world comes first, even at the expense of all your relationships and personal happiness. That’s what being a hero means.
JAKE: I guess...i never really thought about it like that.“
Yeah, Dirk definitely manipulating Jake for his own ends, which is a shame, because I’d always imagined BGD to be that one sliver of Dirk representing the good in him since he was specifically a splinter created from NOT Dirk but Jake’s flattering impression of him, but a dirk is a dirk is a dirk I guess
“DIRK: Think what you want about Jane, but at least she realizes that none of you can ever be normal, and she never bothered to try. Can it really be a god-complex if you’re actually a god?
DIRK: People like us don’t get happy endings.“
So Dirk thinks because they are all actually Gods, that they would all inevitably fall into God Complexes because why wouldn’t they? And in doing so all becomes Villains because having a God Complex is the same thing as saying “My needs and wants matter and other people’s dont because I’m better than the lesser folks” Superiority train of thought, which is inherently evil way of thinking, and so naturally any act against that person to kill them would be just
But the problem is that’s how Dirk sees it, not how Jake sees it or anyone else, Jake had completely forgotten about his so called god powers and was content to drink and garden and dream for the rest of his life.
Dirk is incorrect in that having god powers turns a Human into a God, it simply turns a Human into a Human who also has God Powers. Everything inherent to Humans but not to the ideal perfectional state of being that is “Godhood”, every human emotional imperfection and bias and state of being isn’t getting wiped away upon achieving God Hood like I suppose Dirk is believing about himself and the others.
Dirk is just so gosh damned narcissistic, that he believes that because his biases and way of thinking didn’t change when he achieved actual God powers and God Hood means that he was already correct about everything he wanted to believe and the way he is was already his ideal perfection, instead of the truth of the matter which is that nothing about his personality changed upon achieving godhood because it had nothing to do with that
Dirk just already had a God Complex from the beginning so he just didn’t notice any difference.
He thinking God in terms of Gnostic Monad god all knowing perfect personality and bias-less when really god hood in Homestuck is just like, Greek God hood, youre just a human being with fancy powers and abilities and the same ability to be kind or ruthless as it pleases you
#Homesquared#Homestuck#No wonder Dirks so convinced he will be a villain#he's fulfilling his own self fulfilling prophecy#Dirk needs to realize his concrete discrete flaws instead of washing away everything as I AM BAD#Your not a lost cause villain you just dislike valuing other peoples emotional needs over your own welcome to the humanity club#Every human learns to deal with this feeling some better than others#usually around kindergarten#Its just Man Baby-ness thats all it is Adult Man incapable of dealing with toddler problems

I don't want to buy a copy of midnight sun I dont wanna give smeyer money but like...I really want a physical copy to like. Annotate. Which sounds like crazy but this book is like a fucking treasure trove of nonsense I keep screenshotting things I find weird or interesting or funny and its like every page. The layers of narcissim and apologism and excuses and retcons and like.....just!!!! All of it its so wild on so many levels like youd think its just another dumb twilight book its just a cash grab gimmick rewrite. Which it definitely is, but it's also like her attempt to make the books ~woke~ somehow. Like shes added so much nonsense to make the problematic stuff be not problematic and she fundamentally misses the mark every time. It's just fascinating to me I want to write my master's thesis on this book
#i try to print a pdf of the book and our printer explodes#id have to go to a library or a ups store or smth#does ups still do printing?? i know my grandma used to go there to like make copies and get stuff laminated#if i was at school i could use their printer#but 662 pages is a lot of fucking paper and ink i cant do that at home#i dont want to buy this boom but i wanna fucking annotate it so bad#like full ap lang rhetorical analysis#im literally fucked in the head help me

aaand intro number 2 of the day, once again ruby here this time with the actual shit show that is oh junyeol. enjoy this gif of jongin smiling because you won’t see that on the dash very often. uh .. dont worry ,, there’s a tldr at the bottom this got lengthy.
☕ . ˚ ◝ ( kim jongin. cismale. he/him. ) oh junyeol is a twenty-five year old taurus. the unemployed’s go-to order is a black cold brew. they like to listen to rain sounds while they wait for their order. the employees of the deja brew think they are morose but swear they’re totally stoic as well. maybe that’s why blurry pictures taken at midnight, stones sinking to the bottom of a lake and cracked phone screens remind me of them. ( ruby. 20. she/her. gmt+1. )
s t a t i s t i c s
full name: oh junyeol
nicknames: yeol
gender & pronouns: cisgender male , he/him
sexuality: demisexual / demiromantic
date of birth: april 30 1994
ethnicity: korean
nationality: korean
hometown: seoul, korea
current residence: los angeles, california
occupation: unemployed
education: high school education
zodiac signs: taurus sun, scorpio moon, cancer rising
mbti: infp
moral alignment: chaotic good
d i v i n g d e e p e r
being the son of a chaebol everyone expected junyeol’s life to be sunshine and roses, he would have it easy - his father had money and power, his mom was pretty and they resided in a four story penthouse in the middle of myeongdong. the life of oh junyeol was meant to be one for the books, one with a story already written for him before he had even taken his first breath.
what his family lacked for in love and actual affection for one another it made up with money, the boy’s father was positive there was nothing money couldn’t buy and that included happiness. he bought him and his sister all the gifts in the world thinking it would make up for his absence. it had never really worked for the boy, starting a young age the boy suffered from intense anger attacks, blinding rages from which he never truly recovered. not even the anger attacks were enough to get his parents to actually take a second and pay him attention - they were too busy with making money to send their son to therapy, to get him help for something that was so clearly a bother in his life.
the one thing he had always found solace in was music, his au pair having taught him how to play the piano hoping that it would give him a little peace of mind. later on he taught himself how to play guitar. he was ten years old when he wrote his first song. he was eleven when he auditioned for a big entertainment company, and it took him less than twenty-four hours to find out he had been accepted (he figured his dad had something to do with that, but he wasn’t complaining).
he trained for years until he finally got the good news that he was finally debuting - along with four other boys he was going to achieve what he had been working so hard for for all these years and that had to be celebrated. a few drinks in he found himself flirting with a girl, a really pretty girl who invited him to come home with her - it wasn’t something he’d usually do but he was drunk and he did have something to celebrate.
safe to say that went completely wrong, three days after the profile had been announced, three days after his face had been splashed all over the internet a video was leaked - a video he hadn’t consented for, but a video none the less. it took thirty minutes for his company to make the statement that his contract had been terminated and that he had been removed from the groups lineup. it took thirty-five minutes for his father to call him up with a fury he had never heard before. he had completely ruined the family reputation.
the boy got to drugs, drinking and a whole lot of other fucked up shit. his anger got worse, and as a tip on the ice berg he ruined the one good thing he had going for him -- in a drunk rage he accidentally lashed out and hit the one person he had ever been able to get feelings for. his father shipped him off to l.a. hoping that across the borders he wouldn’t be able to create any other damage.
his days now consist of him hating himself and doing drugs.
tldr ; ok so this got mad long , baso he is mad fucked up his parents were rich chaebols who never gave him any attention, he grew up having anger issues but music was his big passion and it was supposed to safe his life. he was gna debut as a member of a bg but days after he got announced his rep got ruined due to a noncon sex tape. he got sent off to la for damage control and now lives off of his parents money. genuinely very sad and full of self loathing, will get drunk nd insert himself into bar fights bc he feels like he deserves to get kicked but also bc he wants to feel something. does a lot of drugs and avoids all physical contact with ppl at all costs bc hes scared of hurting them. big fat sad self hating mess who doesnt deserve what i put him through. good boy who makes a lot of bad decisions. druggie mess. capable of a lot of love but wont allow himself to give it to anyone bc all he does is destroy things. enjoy him.
#hqbrew:intro#tw drugs#tw abuse#tw anger#tw noncon#noncon v minor regarding a sex tape#tw depression#idk if i missed any tws tbh ..#if i did im super sorry

⇢ summary “Taeyong fluff. basically like they aren’t a couple yet but they know they both like each other so they’re all cutesy and shit :) plot doesn’t really matter tbh as long as it’s some cute ass fluff”—request
⇢ a/n take this fluffy shit and shove it up ur ass for optimum benefit
“Noona, will you please make us breakfast?” You are one hundred percent going to kill him.
“Ten, call me that again and the only thing I will cook is your arms and legs. I just bought cereal and milk, so leave me alone,” you groan like a branch under the weight of snow, rolling away from the brightness of the sun filtering through the window and swinging a leg out from beneath the covers to dangle off the bed. “No, you finished the cereal Thursday and never told me to pick up more, plus there’s no milk left,” Ten retorts, voice muffled behind the white door and at the sound of his—your—friends laughing, you feel like screaming. “Then go out and buy some more!”
“___, there’s like fifty eggs in the fridge, plus it’s past twelve and loverboy is starving, don’t you want to cook for T—“
“Okay, shut up!” You shout, accepting defeat rather than embarrassment and whipping the blankets away with an annoyed sigh. Picking a crumpled tee shirt from the floor, you pull it over your head with a certain irritation and make way for the door, swinging it open and glaring coldly at the grinning boy despite the heat growing on your cheeks like sunburn. “I hope you rot in Hell,” you hiss, jabbing a finger into his chest and stomping past him.
In a weak attempt to move past your guests as quietly as possible, you direct your attention to the floor and scurry through the living room quiet as a mouse, embarrassingly aware of loverboy’s—as Ten called him—presence. “Morning, ___.”
Caught. “Good morning,” you sigh, finally averting your gaze to look at the trio and offering a feeble wave. Maybe if you just pretend that he isn’t here, you can survive the day. However, as soon as your eyes land on Lee Taeyong and all his glory, hot rosiness is already burning its way up your neck quicker than before and settling on the apples of your cheeks. Curse you, you want to say, mouth sour and stare fixated on the brunette for a heartbeat too long until he smiles and you embarrassingly hurry on to the kitchen.
If it’s not for the incessant growling of your stomach, you truly contemplate opening the refrigerator door just to slam it back on your head; however, even though you would never admit it, cooking breakfast for Taeyong remains to be your first and foremost priority on this lovely afternoon. And so, no matter how much you don’t want to, you smack a cast-iron pan loudly on the stove and twist on the gas, pausing to count with your fingers how many eggs you’ll need before eventually just grabbing the whole carton.
You see, developing a crush on one of Ten’s friends was never part of the plan. To be entirely honest, you had laid in bed the night Ten first moved in, tucked delightfully in your duvets wondering how in the name of God you were going to survive just a week without falling for him. However, as time went on, Ten’s fiery attitude and the fact that it seemed as if his friend Johnny was the one who in fact moved in based on the amount of time he spent in your shared apartment made it quite painless to get over the brief obsession in your newest flatmate.
And while Ten does have a mentality spicier than sriracha, you could not find it in yourself to complain when he brought not one but three friends over two months into moving in. By that time, you were fairly close to Johnny, considering he was knocking on the door almost every day (at this point, you had already settled on the idea that the two were one hundred and fifty percent dating, although you would never ask), but had zero ideas that Ten even had other friends, let alone met them.
And to be quite frank, you did not expect another two attractive men to enter your life. Jung Jaehyun, quite possibly the most angelic human you have ever met and Lee Taeyong, the greatest threat to your existence.
Perhaps you would not have fallen so quickly if it was not for the fact Ten was adamant on having the three over every fucking day. The first time you met was a terrifying case of embarrassment; you had been sleeping in when you woke to quite possibly the loudest noise to ever enter your eardrums. And so, with speed faster than light, you fled from bed with nothing but measly undergarments to see what sort of Satanic ritual Ten was pulling, only to find two strangers grimacing at an enormous box now flat on the floor.
It was painfully awkward, from the moment they noticed your ghastly presence in the doorway, to the realization they just dropped the new television Ten just bought, and finally to the fact you were practically naked in front of them. Without even a glance to their faces and with a noise akin to a frightened mouse caught in a trap you spun back behind the door, slammed it closed, and dove back into bed, shivering under the covers and planning your plan of survival that included never leaving the one hundred and twenty-seven square feet of your bedroom.
However, five hours later your stomach had a mind of its own.
6:07 PM - To Ten: i will literally do absolutely anything u want ever in ur life if u bring me cereal
6:07 PM - From Ten: No shot
6:07 PM - To Ten: oh my god ten please
6:08 PM - From Ten: I think my friends need an apology for seeing ur titties this morning🤧
6:08 PM - To Ten: please dont do this to me im so hungry i will literally do anything
6:08 PM - From Ten: Bj?
6:08 PM - To Ten: yes an infinite everyday
6:08 PM - From Ten: hmmmm
6:09 PM - From Ten: nah
6:09 PM - From Ten: come get food urself
With an infuriated, muffled scream into the downy pillow, you hurl your phone to the mattress before leaning up and mentally preparing yourself for the onslaught of teasing from your sinister flatmate. Sighing obnoxiously as you exit your bedroom for the first time in almost twenty-four hours, absolutely nothing in the entire fucking universe could have prepared you enough for the unquestionably perfectly crafted specimen of Lee Taeyong.
Upon first glance, you barely noticed his figure hidden in the corner of the room, simply a monochrome silhouette concealed in the darkness. It was not until the hues flashing from the television lit up the dark space with brightly colored shades from a commercial did he come into view, seated on the farthest side of the sofa. He was like a single brilliant star on a sky of perfect midnight velvet, a star whose gravity stole the air from your lungs and left you breathless in the doorway upon first glance.
He was by far the most alluring human you have ever seen.
“Hey ___!” Ten suddenly shouted, cutting your train—or lack thereof—of thought into shreds and replacing it with your previous hatred. “Die,” was all you said, earning a chuckle from someone, although you could not seem to care to find out who and instead continued for the kitchen.
“How’s your day been?” He continued, yelling from the other room and you contemplated whacking the side of his head with a cast-iron pan. “Don’t talk to me,” you shouted back while rummaging through the refrigerator, only to pull out a container of half empty white rice left over two days prior and a gallon of Breyers Extra Creamy Vanilla from the freezer.
“Are you grumpy because of what happened this morning?” He singsongs, followed by just leave her alone from an unknown voice as you grab two spoons and slam the drawer close. He was truly pushing your buttons. Ice cream, rice, and spoons in hand you made way for the living room, paused midway, and mercilessly pegged one of the metal spoons at Ten.
It unexpectedly hit him square in the forehead, creating a chorus of oohs from the others and you beamed. “Don’t forget who owns this apartment, Chittaphon,” you sneered, gracing his friends with a beaming smile before spinning on your heels and marching back into your bedroom.
Needless to say, Ten found it in himself to never tread that deep into your patience again and even apologized the next morning. However, the image stuck in your brain of whoever sat in the corner of the living room could not go without questioning.
“Hey, who was over last night, by the way?” You asked as Ten took a seat on the couch beside you, flicking between different television channels. “Taeyong and Jaehyun.”
“Which one had the pink hair?”
Ten huffed, throwing in the towel when it came to choosing an adequate channel, “Taeyong, why?”
You shrugged, “Nothing.” He rolled his eyes. “I’m not dumb, c’mon. You think he’s cute?” More than cute.
“I only saw him for like, a millisecond,” you sniffed, waving him off and returning to your assignment. “Good news. They’re coming over again tonight!”
You groaned, throwing your head back onto the plush cushion and kneading your eyes with your knuckles. “I didn’t pick up enough groceries to feed a whole soccer team,” you sighed, lolling your head over to blink at him. “We have eggs?”
“Yeah, why?”
“Tae will help you.”
And only after a proper introduction when Johnny, Jaehyun, and Taeyong arrived an hour later, you found yourself in the talons of a trap designed to drag you down into the depths of drool-worthy dreams and endless nights of “being in your bag.”
When it came time to cook a meal for the new clan you found ravaging your apartment, it took no less than half a minute for the cotton candy haired art-major (something you found out about him during some unacceptably adorable small talk) to jump up from his spot on the loveseat to aid you in any way possible.
“You like cooking?” He asked as you passed him another egg to be whisked, and you laughed heartily. “No, I just have to so I don’t blow all my money on takeout,” you explained, shrugged, and then followed with, “well, I don’t know. If I had time to cook out of enjoyment rather than survival, I would probably like it.”
“You should, it can be really relaxing,” he said, voice luxurious velvet as he poured the whisked eggs into the hot pan. “I don’t really know any recipes,” you shrugged, watching with quiet admiration as he went through what minimal spices you had while simultaneously folding the eggs into what would eventually be an omelet.
“Oh! I’ll have to show some you one day, then,” Taeyong grinned, and no matter how hard you tried you could not fight the rosy blush warming your features.
It was at this moment you realized you were royally fucked. There was absolutely no way of getting out of this one, you told yourself, and it was a constant reminder nearly every day when him, Johnny, and Jaehyun made their entrance. It was especially obvious on days he came over after class, the top few buttons of his shirt undone and revealing an inch too much skin that made your insides crawl, or the alone time you shared when he would help you in the kitchen, when one day over the course of three months you realized it had gone from two strangers forced to feed a group of helpless college kids to a pair naturally creating meals together, including a handful too many hip bumps, tickles, and any other type of physical touching to be categorized as just friends.
“No way,” you blew Ten off one morning when he asked if you thought you would ever date Taeyong, “he doesn’t like me like that.”
When all he did was roll his eyes, some part of you truly did drop with disappointment. For if he had said, “You should hear how he talks about you,” or, “You really are a dumb bitch,” then maybe you would have had some hope. But his lack of response confirmed your thoughts: Taeyong was an unattainable love.
Four months later, you and your now crimson haired friend dragged an absolutely wasted beyond repair Ten into his bedroom, flung him onto his mattress, removed his shoes, and patted him a good night.
“Sorry you had to deal with him,” you frowned, making way for the tiny kitchen and offering him a water in which he graciously took. Lord knows, if you had known he was coming, you would have been more prepared. And yet there you were, in nothing but an oversized tee shirt in front of the man who held all the stars in his irises and the very being of you in his hands.
“Don’t worry about it,” Taeyong smiled, clicked his tongue after taking a sip of water, “either way, I got to see my gi—you.”
Realizing his miniscule slip-up, Taeyong’s eyes grew the size of saucers, as did yours. My girl? Was that what he was going to say? You gulped, windpipe suddenly dryer than any desert on Earth, heart bumping frantically in your chest because holy shit, were you to blow it off or act on it?
Taeyong cleared his throat, and you did the same, an awkward tension suddenly filling the room thick like syrup and you were suffocating. “Anyway, I’m gonna head home. G’night, ___,” said Taeyong, offering a weak pat to your cheek. You watched him in silence as he left, and as soon as the door shut behind him the world came crashing down, the walls suddenly seemed to shrink and you hopped off the barstool in order to save yourself and sped to your bedroom in a rush of excitement and undeniable shock.
Only two days later you saw him again, a mini celebration in your apartment for the end of the semester with a bit too much soju involved. You found yourself curled into his side as the antics settled down further into the night, however alcohol still had your nerves on fire and you were hyperaware of Taeyong’s hand on what was exposed of your waist where your shirt had ridden up, long fingers drawing random patterns onto the bare skin and you could not breathe.
“___,” he said, you turned from the loud Raymour & Flanigan commercial blaring from the television to look at him, eyes wide and honest and his heart lurched. He suddenly could not find it in himself anymore to ask if he could stay the night and instead languidly studied your pretty features, face hovering closely above your own so you could feel his warm breath fanning across your cheeks and he did not know what to do.
“Taeyong!”
Ten shouted and the two of you jerked back, the serene moment suddenly popped like a bubble and you wanted to scream at him for ruining the possibilities.
The exchange between Taeyong and Ten turned to nothing but marbles in your ears, the idea of kissing him much too loud and growing from a small mustard seed hidden within your brain to an enormous tree. Except now it was in bold font and flashing every color known to man because there was no way he was actually going to kiss you, right?
Fast forward nearly a month later and here you were, found in yet another treacherous predicament as the man of your dreams sat only feet away. The past twenty-seven days were the worst of your life, you tell yourself; for every time you close your eyes, all you can picture is all the diminutive moments shared with Taeyong since your almost-kiss, every insignificant touch, every drawn-out ogling, every unnecessary compliment that only increasing became worse because Ten told him that you liked him. And instead of bringing it up, too fearful to do so even though you are convinced he must like you back, you push it away, avoiding any possible interaction that will lead to your potential collapse.
And so, when a, “Hey, do you want any help?” erupts from just around the wall, you nearly drop an egg when every muscle in your body freezes because yes he’s here but no get away. “Um,” you sniff, glancing down at the dozen eggs and then back to the boy sporting hair the shade of oozy caramel, “sure.”
You go on in silence, continuously passing Taeyong an egg to be cracked and then throwing out the shells, and you are telling yourself oh, this isn’t too bad until he decides to break the relative silence, “I like you.” You blink, squint at the wall before moving around him to wash yoke from your hands, hearing the words from those damn kissable lips makes your legs burn and heart thump at a rate that definitely is not healthy. “I know,” you finally answer, voice clogged in the back of your throat so you continue, “I like you too.”
“I know,” says Taeyong once you look up at him and he bestows upon you a toothy grin.
“I’m glad that’s settled, then,” you laugh breathlessly, leaning into his side as he scrambles the eggs, cheek pressed against his bicep, “you’re bulking up, I like it.” Taeyong drops his head to look down and you glance up with a smile that cannot seem to leave your face. “Jaehyun said the same thing,” he grins, pulling his arm away so that you must pull away but, just as your lips start to pout, he pulls your body close and wraps his arms around your waist.
In a sudden surge of courage, you raise your hand to trail a finger down the razor-sharp edge of his jawline, something you have dreamed of doing for months and now that you are finally able to, you do not know whether you will ever be able to stop. “Wow,” you almost say, breathlessly infatuated by his presence, however, the sudden pressure of his lips upon yours steals your breath furthermore and suddenly everything is all him and you pull yourself closer, air hitching in your lungs, nerves fizzing with sparks, melding your mouth against his own as the anticipation of kissing him over the past months has reached its boiling point.
“Does this mean you’re my girlfriend?” Taeyong asks once you have pulled away, lips swollen red. “That’s the general plan, yes,” you laugh softly, planting a milder peck on the side of his mouth.
.
.
.
“Does anyone smell burning eggs?”
