We Need To Talk About Shipping
I just want to put this out there since this website seems to be full of delusional shippers who are pushing fictional narratives or chains of events that literally never happened irl. Now personally, I don't mind casual shipping (big gasp, I know). Like if you think two people are cute together or have great chemistry, that's fine; ppl tend to reflect their own desires onto other people/things, whether they be fictional or real ... create your stories, write your fics, draw some nice pictures ...  the problem lies when you can no longer decipher your own fictional stories of your favorite ship from reality. If you have gotten to the point where you feel the need to argue over what ship is REAL in a space where these types of relationships haven't even been confirmed or acknowledged ... kindly exit the fandom and only come back after taking classes in human decency. If BTS hasn't confirmed a relationship, then we as fans must accept that as our reality. Of course, many of us have our speculations, but we should never overstep and promote those realms of possibility as true. You are allowed to think something might be real, but don't turn that idea of realness into false delusions about fabricated events. If you are in the ask box of a stranger accusing a BTS member of cheating on another BTS member with another BTS member... please take the time to reevaluate your life choices. I've seen jkkrs and tkkrs argue for hours over things that literally never happened. How can you guys accuse BTS members of purposely sabotaging another member in the name of a ship? I saw a jikook post that said JM was purposely trying to tick TH off by being 'intimate' with JK. Are you sure you're talking about Jimin? Like, Park Jimin? Kim Taehyung's best friend? That Jimin? One of the best examples that I can think of (right now) is JK's 25th birthday live when he told Jin that none of the members came to visit him for his birthday except for JM and HS. He confirmed TWICE that TH did not come to see him. Now normal people would look at this and just move on, bc we can understand that the other members probably sent happy birthday texts or even gave him a phone call. Just bc something is not done publicly does not mean it didn't happen. But anyways, tkkrs had the AUDACITY of accusing JK of lying, running with a fictitious lie that he had only said he didn't come to 'protect' TH. So are HS and JM not relevant in this equation at all? Did JK purposely mention JM and HS to put them in danger? You DO NOT get to accuse people that YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW of these types of things. Who the hell do you think you are? (also, I'm not targeting tkkrs, I understand that not every single one of you is a bad egg, but this is just the first example I could think of) Y'all need to throw blogs and youtube channels (*cough* taekook-lives *cough*) that have fake stories and leaked photos as evidence away. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, DO NOT SUPPORT SASAENG/STALKER PHOTOS, EVEN IF IT'S OF YOUR SHIP. Some shippers are far too comfortable using photos that were taken of BTS without their consent as ammo. You are gross. BigHit has protections! Half of these delulu shippers can't even interpret Kor words/sentences correctly and spew false garbage that is both utterly offensive toward BTS and the Kor lang. If you can't even take the time to properly consume the nuances of what is being said, what makes you think that you're such a good detective and can sniff out a relationship? Hell, they can't even tell when honorifics are being used or if they're speaking satoori! Is it so hard to consult actual Koreans and Kor speakers to see if what you're consuming is actually correct? The Korean culture and language are not yours to maliciously weaponize when you're trying to prove a 'point'. But like I said, I feel like this community needs a lot of cleaning up. I want you to enjoy your time in the fandom, but don't attack other people on false evidence or speculations. Take care of yourself and others. Don't let your ships make you into a monster.
And as always, LOVE all seven. SUPPORT all seven. Understand that BTS' bond is so pure and lovely and there's nothing that delusional stans and shippers can say/do to ruin that.

Is it ok if you write a thing about HS Sammy getting turned back into a child? (Both mentally and physically) I think that would cause some adorable shenanigans to occur (with the toons help ofc u-u)
Yeah, sure!
----------------------------------------------------------------
Sammy had long been the victim of magic shenanigans. And today was no different. Joey had been doing....something, and now Sammy was a child.
Now, this in itself presented a pretty big problem, as he couldn't very well do his job when he was a little kid. But there was another problem. And that problem was that Sammy had no memory of anything that had happened after the age of ten, the age he seemed to currently be. Meaning he didn't recognize anyone in the studio (aside from Jack) and didn't understand how he'd gotten here or where his parents were.
"....So this is bad," Joey said, glancing over at where Sammy was hiding behind Jack.
"You think?" Bendy growled.
"Do you think you can fix this?" Henry asked, trying to will away the headache he could already feel developing.
"Of course I can!" Joey quickly assured him, although his confidence faded quickly. "I just...don't know how long it'll take to reverse this..."
"I can watch him until he's back to normal," Jack volunteered. "He knows me, after all."
"That would be great, thank you, Jack." Henry gave Jack a weak smile.
"You're welcome." Jack returned Henry's smile before focusing his attention back on the small Sammy. "You wanna see my workstation?"
Sammy hesitated, then nodded, shrinking back further in the way that signaled there were too many people and he was overwhelmed.
"Alright, come on." Jack gently guided Sammy out of Joey's office and through the halls toward the Music Department.
As they traveled, Sammy remained glued to Jack's side, looking very much as though he were trying to hide. Which, honestly, he probably was. Sammy had never done particularly well with being suddenly thrust into new environments. He needed time to mentally prepare himself for the new space and the new people. Jack knew this had to be incredibly overwhelming for the small version of his friend. Which was why he was going to do his best to make this easier for Sammy.
When they got to the top of the stairs that led to the sewers, Sammy abruptly stopped, pulling back.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked.
Sammy shook his head, covering his nose. "It smells," he said. "I'm not going."
"Why don't we go to your office, then?" Jack suggested.
"My...office?" Sammy echoed with a frown.
"It won't smell," Jack said.
Sammy's frown deepened, but he nodded, taking Jack's hand again and following him back up the stairs to the office. Sammy squinted a bit as they approached the office, his gaze zeroing in on the sign above the window.
"Why does it have my name on it?" He asked, tugging on Jack's sleeve.
"Because it belongs to grown-up you," Jack answered, fishing out the key to the office and unlocking it.
Sammy's eyes widened at this. "...Grown up me must be really important..." He said quietly.
"Something like that," Jack laughed, holding the door open and ushering Sammy inside.
Sammy tentatively stepped inside, looking warily around. Jack remained where he was by the door, watching Sammy look around. It was interesting to look at Sammy and see the seeds of behaviors he regularly displayed as his adult self. The way he squinted when he was concentrating particularly hard, the way he folded his arms around himself when he was in a new environment.
He'd forgotten how cute Sammy had been as a child too. Granted, he probably hadn't noticed it when he'd been a child himself, but seeing child Sammy as an adult was really driving home to Jack just how adorable Sammy had been as a kid.
"What's this?"
Jack's attention was drawn back to Sammy as the boy pointed to the sheets of music on the desk. There were a few finished compositions, as well as a half-done song for Alice.
"It's sheet music," he answered, walking over to stand next to his friend.
Sammy let out an adorable huff, folding his arms. "I know that," he said indignantly. "But what are they?"
"I'm not sure what you mean." Jack gave an apologetic smile.
Sammy huffed again. "What are they for? The names are weird."
"They're songs for cartoons," Jack explained. "You wrote them."
Sammy's pouting was abruptly stopped as his eyes went wide. Slowly, he looked up at Jack with an awestruck expression.
"...I wrote them?" He asked quietly, pointing at himself.
Jack couldn't help but laugh. "You sure did. And I'm writing the words to go along with them."
Sammy's face split in a huge grin and he began to flap his hands. "We're making songs together!" He exclaimed, bouncing up and down.
Jack's smile widened. "Yeah, we are!"
"We're making songs together!!" Sammy repeated, beginning to jump around excitedly.
The display warmed Jack's heart. It honestly felt really good to see a little Sammy so ecstatic at the prospect of making music with him. He was happy to know his friend liked working with him.
The moment was interrupted, however, by a gentle knock on the door. Sammy froze, immediately scampering to hide behind Jack's legs.
"It's okay," Jack quietly assured him before addressing whoever was at the door. "Yeah?"
"I hope I'm not intruding." Susie's voice came from the other side of the door.
"Well, I wouldn't say you're intruding..." Jack glanced down at Sammy, who was staring intently at the door and clinging to Jack's pants.
Susie gave a little laugh. "I'm sensing there's a but."
"There is," Jack laughed as well. "Sammy's a bit skittish right now, that's all."
"Ah, right..." There was clear disappointment in Susie's voice.
"Is it okay if she comes in?" Jack asked, gently patting Sammy's head.
Sammy frowned, hunching his shoulders and continuing to stare at the door.
"...Just for a little," he said.
"Thank you." Jack turned back to the door. "He says you can come in for a little."
"Really?!" Susie exclaimed.
Like a startled cat, the loudness of the statement made Sammy withdraw further, prompting Jack to ask Susie to be a bit quieter.
After an apology, Susie tentatively entered. She looked on the verge of squealing upon seeing Sammy's little face peeking out from behind Jack's solid form, but she managed to keep it together.
"Oh, he's adorable..." She whispered.
"Who're you?" Sammy demanded, eyes narrowed.
"This is Susie," Jack said. "She sings some of the songs you and I write."
Susie gave a little wave. "Your songs are very nice."
Sammy continued to stare at Susie, his eyes still narrowed. Slowly, though, he crept out from behind Jack.
"Oh, you're so cute..." Susie said, still making a valiant effort to not squeal or scoop Sammy up.
"'m not cute..." Sammy grumbled, folding his arms. "...So you...sing?"
"I do!" Susie confirmed with a smile. "Would you like to hear?"
Sammy hesitated, thinking about it for a good long minute, before tentatively nodding.
Susie cleared her throat, standing up to her full height. Then, she launched into "Lonely Angel".
As soon as the first words left her lips, Sammy looked utterly enraptured. He stared at Susie with unbridled wonder as she sang. Jack made a mental note to bring this up to Sammy once he was back to normal. He couldn't wait to see how flustered Sammy would be.
"You have a beautiful voice..." Sammy whispered once Susie had finished singing.
"Aaw, thank you!" Susie put a hand to her chest. "You know, I was just about to go record a new song. Do you want to come watch?"
Sammy hesitated again, looking at Jack.
"I'll come with you," Jack assured him.
Satisfied by this response, Sammy turned back to Susie and gave a little nod, reaching out to take her hand.
Susie stifled a squeal, then led Sammy out of the office, with Jack following behind.
Sammy spent the rest of the day glued to Jack and Susie's sides. Despite his initial wariness of her, after hearing her sing he was suctioned to her side like a koala. Something about her made him feel safe, although he couldn't explain why.
Everyone thought it was absolutely adorable, especially Boris and Alice. They had the good sense not to say this while Sammy was around, for fear of making him embarrassed and cutting the koala impression short, but they were certainly thinking it. Wally was also making a mental note to tease Sammy about this later.
Thankfully, by the end of the day, Joey had managed to figure out a way to return Sammy to normal. It did take a bit of convincing to get little Sammy into the spell circle, but once they did it was a fairly simple process of executing the spell.
When the smoke cleared, there was adult Sammy, bright red and looking mortified.
"We will never speak of this again," he whispered.
"No promises~," Jack said with a big grin.
Sammy groaned, covering his face. Why did this always happen to him?

-ˋˏ✄┈┈┈┈ obviously oblivious
⊹ character(s) - geto suguru ⊹ word count - 2.7k ⊹ notes - gn!reader, fluff, a hint of angst if you squint, fake dating, takes place in hidden inventory (before all the bad stuff so ... hs!au sort of but still in jjks regular setting), possibly ooc suguru sorry </3
this is the raffle fic for the winner of the cat-baret raffle, @psychopomp-enthusiast !! they requested a geto x reader fake dating and I was more than happy to oblige *:・゚✧(=✪ ᆺ ✪=)*:・゚✧ permission was granted to post this fic! also, sorry in advance if there's any she/her usage or fem terms used for reader! I try my best to edit and ensure they're 100% gn, but sometimes things slip through the cracks! let me know if I messed up anywhere!
Tumblr media
"You want me to do what?"
You kept your hands firmly over your face, already thoroughly humiliated by the request at hand. If not for the fact that Satoru would certainly value holding something over your head as blackmail, he would've already ran and told Suguru about your little plan.
"I'm not repeating myself!"
"No, no, seriously, I think I didn't hear you!"
Satoru's disbelief had melded into disbelief and humor, his eyes lighting up at your misery. "Tell me what you wanted my help with again!"
"Satoru, you are a dick!"
"I don't think that's how you ask someone for help if you really need them to help you out."
"Forget it."
"Why do you want me to pretend to date you, of all things?" he chuckled, ignoring your words and continuing the conversation, plopping himself right onto your desk. You glared at him, having half a mind to shove him off onto the floor. "Wouldn't that just make Suguru upset?"
"No— Well, yes, but like, not intentionally."
"You literally have bad intentions with this plan."
You shoved him hard, but the white-haired boy managed to keep his ass firmly on your desk, laughing at the futility of your gesture. You slumped backwards in your seat.
"What's the point?"
"The point is that he'd realize he likes me back. Or, if he doesn't like me, I'd be able to tell by him not caring. Or something like that..."
"That's stupid."
You groaned. You knew that.
"He's definitely the type of guy to just let it go and suffer in silence. I mean, I've been friends with him for ages. He'd be all, 'I'm happy you're happy, Satoru!' or something."
You knew that too. That's one of the reasons you liked him, for God's sake.
"So let's do it."
"Huh?!"
You shot up in your seat, eyeing your friend suspiciously. He only shot you a catlike grin in turn.
"Well, you asked me, Suguru's closest friend. So obviously, I could wring it out of him if he was really upset, and then boom, the sham is up! You two date! Happily ever after!"
You gave him an unimpressed look, and he whistled indignantly.
"...Or I could ask Shoko. Whatever."
"And what do you get out of this?"
"Entertainment?" Satoru batted his annoyingly long eyelashes at you prettily, placing his hands under his chin in a mock-gesture that made you want to strangle his perfect skin. "Fun? The satisfaction that I finally get to stop seeing you pine after him—"
"What do you really want?"
"You treat me to sweets anytime I want. It fits into the scheme, anyways! And besides, Suguru kinda pissed me off last week."
"You're literally rich! And you probably started it! What do you mean, he pissed you off?"
Satoru raised his eyebrow at you, and you let out a long, deep, exaggerated sigh.
"Fine."
"Yippee!" You could've pelted him the way he, a grown ass man, pranced around the room like a little toddler girl. As if he even needed your money for his sugar addiction.
"Prick," you muttered, just out of earshot of the strongest as he walked towards the door.
"Okaaay, I'm going now, my dearest! Have some Kikufuku on my desk tomorrow and I'll consider the contract sealed!"
"Prick!" you shouted it this time, really throwing something (a small eraser) but Satoru had already dashed out the door, laughing all the way.
Regardless, you collapsed into your seat again, utterly mortified.
Would this really work?
Guess you had to try.
"What's this?"
Suguru, despite himself, found himself questioning the packet of Kikufuku on Satoru's desk. They'd only just come from the dorms, and they'd done so together as usual, so there was no way Satoru would've had time to get it for himself. Not to mention...
"Isn't this the specialty one from Sendai, too? What, did you do Shoko a huge favor?"
The raven-haired man wasn't pleased when the only response he got was a happy hum from his white-haired friend, who sat down and inspected the treat before popping a piece of mochi in his mouth.
"No," he finally spoke up after a beat of silence, mouth stuffed (causing Suguru to gag in an over-exaggerating fashion). "This is from the best partner in the world! My pookie bear!"
"Very funny," Suguru deadpanned.
Satoru looked offended for a moment, but his affronted expression melted into a look of pure glee as soon as he heard the sliding door open.
Suguru looked up at that, a small smile coming to his lips as he spotted you walk into the room.
"Hey, Y/N—"
"Sweetie!"
The smile dropped at once when he watched his friend bound over to your side, immediately hanging off of you. This wasn't necessarily unusual, but the pet name—not to mention how you didn't immediately shove Satoru off as you usually would—caught Suguru's attention.
"Satoru, stop. We're in class."
"But you got this Kikufuku especially for me, right? Come on, let me pay you back with some cuddles~"
You pushed Satoru away by the cheek, but didn't necessarily work to extricate yourself from him. The raven-haired man definitely noticed this time.
An unpleasant feeling rose in Suguru's gut, but he played it as coolly as he could.
"What's this? Are you two going out or something?" he mocked, chuckling in disbelief. You looked contemplative, and Satoru got a nasty smirk on his face.
As if—
"Yeah, we are," you answered back, equally as calm. The man hanging off of your arm looked all-too pleased with himself as you answered, whereas Suguru had practically gone into shock.
"S-Seriously?" The sorcerer tried to keep his outward dismay to a minimum, but a stutter still edged its way into his voice.
While you were far too distracted in subtly attempting to remove Satoru's arms from around you without making it obvious that your "relationship" was a sham, the man clutching onto you was relishing in the way his friend tried desperately to remain casual at the news.
"Seriously, seriously!" Satoru chimed in, wrapping his arms around your waist in a tight hug. That was the point you gave up trying to get him away.
"Well, congratulations," Suguru muttered, half-hearted words barely forced out. He eyed you for any sign of this being a trick, but to his utter despair, your poker face revealed none of what he was searching for—humor, annoyance, anything that might tell him that Satoru was making the whole thing up.
"Thanks," you murmured back, a bit dismayed yourself.
Did he even care—
"So who asked who ou—"
"Okay, in your seats, everyone," Yaga walked into the room, cutting off Suguru's desperate question, glaring at you three. "Shoko's out on business and won't be back until the afternoon, so it's just you lot."
"Okaaaay," Satoru dragged his feet, letting go of you reluctantly and plopping himself into his seat. You sat one over from him, right between he and Suguru.
Throughout the entire class, your white-haired friend couldn't help but chuckle to himself at your raven-haired friend's urgent glances your way.
By the time Yaga had dismissed you three, Suguru excused himself quite quickly and practically ran out the door.
Well, strode was more like it, but Satoru could see the hurry in his steps.
Off to tell Shoko all about it, he was sure.
"See? He didn't seem to care at all," you pouted a bit, head slumped on your desk. Bright blue eyes rolled in incredulity at your density.
"Seriously? He always sticks around after class to hang out. Why else would he have ran off?"
"To not see you making a fool of yourself and drooling all over me?"
It was tempting to take that Kikufuku in Satoru's hand and pelt him right between the eyes with it as he batted his eyelashes innocently, but you resisted your violent urges. He only chuckled more, popping treat after treat past his lips.
"I think you're being dumb."
"You're dumb."
"Am not! Suguru's the dumb one, really."
"He's not dumb!" you fired back. "He clearly just isn't interested in me, so let's just stop this already."
"Wow, I've only been your fake boyfriend for a day, and you're already trashing me. Shame!"
"I just don't want to owe you more desserts than I have to for something that clearly won't work."
Satoru whistled. "Well, at least I got one bag of Kikufuku out of it!"
"Jerk..." you muttered.
A beat of silence passed, and you half-expected the man to up and leave after getting bored, but when you glanced up, you saw him fiddling with his flip phone.
Then, he grinned at the screen, turning to you.
"Let's go to Suzukien."
"What? Why?" you asked. In all fairness, matcha gelato did sound pretty delicious at the moment, especially to offput your bad mood. However, you'd be loath to admit when Satoru had a good idea lest his head inflate to the size of a large balloon.
"Just feel like a colder treat. Your treat, 'cause I helped you out and all."
You grumbled and pulled your bag over your shoulders, walking over to the door. "Fine, let's go."
"Yay!"
The second Suguru had gotten out of class, as Satoru had guessed, he had gone straight to Shoko.
She nearly leapt out of her seat as the door slammed open, whipping around with a glare to shush her friend.
"Are you insane? This is a clinic. I'm working."
"Did you know Y/N and Satoru are dating?"
For a moment, Shoko's expression reflected pure horror and pity, but then, she stopped. It took her a total of 5 seconds of thought to put two and two together, and she shrugged.
"No, they're not."
"They just told me they are."
"Then you're an idiot for believing them."
Suguru plopped himself into the cold metal chair in the corner, eyeing Shoko and awaiting an explanation. She sighed, finishing up her technique on the patient and removing her gloves, walking over to her table full of various medical tools.
"I remember like a year ago, there was a guy I thought was kind of cute. Gojo had this grand idea to get him jealous by pretending we were going out, but the catch was that I had to buy him sweets whenever he wanted. It lasted maybe a day, but he does a good job of being overbearingly annoying as a fake boyfriend."
Suguru, for all his intelligence, was still a bit slow. Perhaps it was the implication of you having some sort of feelings for him that ran the train of disbelief in his mind.
"And that connects to this situation... why?"
Shoko looked at him, extremely unimpressed.
"Did Gojo have a pack of sweets on his desk?"
"Yeah, Kikufuku..."
"And were they from Y/N?"
"He said—" Suguru paused, his brain running a mile a minute. Then, he buried his face in his hands. Shoko only pulled out her flip phone, typing away.
"I'm an idiot."
"Yes, you are."
"I bet this is because Yaga backed me up when we were arguing over the pronunciation of a word last week..."
"Probably. That's Gojo for you."
"So do I ask them out now?"
"What do you think?" Shoko flashed her phone's screen in Suguru's face, the man squinting to get a good look at the words.
Gojo had sent a whole slew of text emojis scattered between every word, but somewhere within the endless stream of colons and parenthesis and threes was a message detailing him taking you (or you taking him, more like) to Suzukien.
He was out the door with a quick thanks before the girl could even blink, and she chuckled, popping a cigarette out of the box as she sent one more text to Satoru.
"He's on his way."
You grumbled to yourself even more as you sat at a small bench outside of Suzukien.
The second your money was in the clerk's hand and Satoru's gelato was in his, he had taken off, some shit excuse about having somewhere to be flying off his lips before you could process he'd ran away with the treat.
You silently wondered how much trouble you'd get into with Yaga if you were to smear mochi and red bean paste all over Satoru's desk, when a breathless voice spoke up from next to you.
"Hey."
You jumped slightly, whipping your head to the side to see none other than Suguru. Instantly, your face burned hot.
"U-Uhm, hi. What's up?"
A part of you wondered if this is why Satoru was so enamored with his phone earlier...
"I, uh, talked to Shoko."
"Oh! Um, what would that be about? Here, let me buy you a cone, it's pretty hot out, you look exhausted—"
"No, no, it's okay, uh..." Suguru toyed with his bang, trying to maintain eye contact with you and failing horrendously.
He could talk to you just fine before.
What the hell was going on with him now?!
Right. You'd gone through all the trouble to get roped into Satoru's scheme just at an attempt to convey your feelings without really conveying them, and those feelings just happened to be the same as his—
"Suguru?"
The raven-haired man shook his head. Even if Shoko said what she said, he has to be sure he's not actually trying to steal his best friend's official significant other or anything.
"The dating thing with Satoru wasn't—isn't real, right? Just... Just double checking."
"U-Uhh..." You were torn between perpetuating the lie and telling the truth, but seeing the smoldering look in Suguru's eyes, you shrunk and bowed your head. "N-No, sorry... It was just, uhm, a joke. That's right! Just a joke. I assume Shoko—"
"She told me it was because you wanted to make me jealous."
Well, that was blunt.
It seems Suguru himself realized it, too, because at your flustered expression, he waved a hand frantically.
"But that's just what she said could be it, because Satoru and her did that to another guy! She could've been lying, or just relating it to another experience! Sorry, I didn't mean to—"
"No, no, she's, uhm, she was right," you laughed anxiously, scuffing your shoe against the ground and fidgeting about as your cone slowly melted. "Being completely honest, she was right. I did— I did do it to make you jealous."
"Oh... oh."
The silence was thick with tension between you two, but you soon began giggling—out of pure nerves or actual humor, you weren't sure.
It wasn't long before Suguru joined in, his tense expression softening at your laughter.
"I'm sorry, I was being stupid... I should've just told you."
"No, I think I should've told you first. That I like you, I mean."
Your chuckles ceased at once, hot shock rising in your cheeks.
"Seriously...?"
"Seriously, seriously," Suguru mimicked Satoru. Your eyes widened, and you glanced away, but the raven-haired man only leaned back into your line of sight.
"So, do you want to go out? I'll buy you a new cone to make up for distracting you. It can be our first date."
It was at that moment that you realized the icy cold that was covering your hands, jumping with surprise and embarrassment as you noticed your treat all over your fingers. Suguru only smiled, heading inside and coming back out with some napkins, helping you clean off your hands and toss your cone in the trash.
"Really, though, Suguru, I'll treat. It was my fault for going along with Satoru's—"
"Nuh uh. He already made you buy Sendai Kikufuku. I can't imagine the time and effort to get that for today."
"Well, then, um... Thanks—"
"Finally!"
You two practically spun in a circle at the obnoxious voice ringing out from behind the corner of the block. Satoru waved around his flip phone victoriously, a picture of Suguru and you standing quite close together now on its screen.
"I've already told Shoko! Enjoy your date, lovebirds~!"
Before you could say a word, he had scrambled off, giggling all the way. You and Suguru shared a glance.
"Would you be opposed to sharing the punishment with me if I fucked with Satoru's desk? I was thinking of leaving him a couple of melted gelato cones in there."
"Yaga will kill us, but it'll be worth it."
The two of you smiled, laughing a bit. Then, Suguru led you into the gelato shop, warmth filling his chest.
It took a bit of time and confusion, but he had you.

I WANNA REQUEST MORE IF UR WILLING! Could you do like, prom Mary Goore x gender neutral reader?
Prom Mary Goore? Fuck yes.
Mary Goore x gn!reader
Sorry this took so long, I wrote most of it during the hurricane and then forgot to finish it until this morning. Also, as most of my mary fics go, yall aren't exactly together-together? More of implied and not confirmed. Anyways, hope you enjoy!
Desc: mary/reader are seniors in HS, both 18/19.
Tumblr media
You and Mary were total opposites. You showed up to class, did the minimum work to get an alright grade--you liked school dances, as stupid as it was.
But Mary? No, Mary was at school perhaps once a week if he could get away with it. Eventually, he couldn't get away, and he got expelled. So, there goes your lunch buddy. Hello, bathroom sandwich.
You hadn't exactly been dating at the time. But April came around, and it was prom season. It was all over Instagram, prom-posals and dress shopping on stories. Adds popped up relentlessly on David's Bridal and Windsor. It was a brutal season for you cause, A) you had no one to go with, and B) the only one you wanted to go with had zero interest in school dances. Mary Goore.
One day he'd picked you up after school and you did homework at his house, every two minutes you'd sigh dramatically and wait for him to ask "shut the fuck up or tell me what's wrong."
And that he did!
"Dude, if you don't-"
"I'm sad!" He scans your face for sarcasm, but none is found, just pouty lips and puppy dog eyes.
"...Should I even ask why?" He retorts, slouching back in his recliner. The thing was old, and there were too many springs and things popping out of it. It wasnt a suprise when you found out he'd stolen it from the side of the road in the middle of a thunderstorm.
"Yes. You should. And then you can help me on not being sad." You say matter-of-factly, biting the clicker on your pen. You eye him, waiting.
"Okay. Fine. Why are you sad?" You pounce quickly, forgetting your homework as you sit down on the armrest of his seat.
"Have you ever heard of this little thing.. it's very lowkey, kind of underground..."
"I am not going to a school dance with you." He glares up at you, but your pouty face makes his expression soften.
"Pleaaasseeeeeeee..." You wrap your arms around his head, pulling him into your chest. "I want to experience it. I only get one prom, and everyone says it's awesome--so, obviously it's gonna be a shit show." Mary grimaces at your words. "And you know how much I love to invite you to shit shows." You grin.
"Oh yeah, like your AP art show--OW-" He winces as you slap his arm, hard.
"Fuck off with that. This is all I ask. I'll never ask for anything ever again. Ever!"
"Doll, we both know that's a big fat fuckin lie." He rolls his eyes, but brings his arms up to half-ass hug you. "But fine. You owe me... like, wear something skimpy underneath."
"Dirty dirty, Mary Goore." You giggle, kissing the top of his head messily. "Thankyou thank you thank you!" You know he's joking about the skimpybunderwear, but you're already mentally going through which panties to wear. Will you even wear a bra? Probably unnecessary-
Mary brings you out of your excited thoughts with a pinch to your thigh. "You're thinking too hard. You'll get wrinkles." He rubs the crinkle between your eyebrows, stifling a laugh.
"Hey, don't make fun of me. Those are hereditary." You grin.
A couple weeks pass, and, yeah. Yeah, prom's tonight.
"I feel fucking stupid." And he looks fucking stupid with that sexy devil's lock and the suit you'd picked out. You try not to laugh, giving him what you think to be a reassuing smile.
"You look fine. Weird, cause, duh. But I think you look handsome as fuck." You walk closer, fixing his.. absolutely terribly knotted tie. You'd be surprised at how many knots he tied before realizing it was all wrong. Like, 5 too many.
"You're talking out of your ass." He snorts, scowling toward the mirror. "Seriously though, this feels ridiculous. Feels like I'm trying to be someone I'm not, you know? I thought we were done with that." He gets serious for a moment, and you frown.
"...Then let's fuck it up." It was a cheap suit from some Catholic thrift shop down the street named "Holy Trinity" or something, so, Mary was more than pleased to tear the thing up. You can see it in his eyes.
"You mean it?" He grins, almost like a kid who was promised another bowl of icecream. You nod, of course you mean it.
"Fuck it up, Mare. Here, let me help you." You grab the sleeve, ripping it clean off. A gasp leaves your mouth, accompanied by a wide smile. Damn, didn't expect that to work so well.
Mary grins, making a little excited sound before grabbing the other sleeve and attempting to take it clean off like you did--failing miserably. He doesn't let it defeat him though, and he tries a second time, succeeding.
"I got an idea." You run to his room. You basically live at his house, so you know every nook and cranny in his closet. Finding what you wanted, you bring it back out to him excitedly.
"We can mix and match. Put those sexy skinny Jean's back on and I think we can make this work." Another hour of getting dressed, and you're both wearing completely different outfits.
Mary walked out of the house with a deep red button up, a black tie with Jason's mask on it, those sexy skinny jeans and some nice loafers. On top, he added his special sleeveless jacket. Yeah, that didn't add to it much, but he insisted, and he was hot regardless of being fashionable or not.
Soon you arrived, parked, and walked inside... a little late, but no matter. It was.. fucking lame, that's what it was. There were friend groups dancing together, girls grinding on guys and vice versa. It felt like middle school all over again, you grimaced ten minutes in when the two of you sat at a table stuffing your faces.
"The food isn't even that good." You whisper yell over the terrible taste in music. The DJ will play justin bieber every once in a while, like, 2012 JB which is acceptable. But by the time he plays Havana thrice? You're pulling Mary out the back door to the karaoke room.
Some girl is singing her heart out on stage while her friends are basically whispering into the microphones, but blonde chick in the middle's having the time of her life. You wait, watch until it's too cringy to bare, and then Mary pulls you back inside.
You feel terrible for dragging Mary with you... and spending like 50 bucks on his ticket. He looks almost miserable, awkwardly standing around because he absolutely doesnt belong. But neither do you, so, you tug at your sleeves before going up to apologize.
But Mary stops you, grabbing your hands. "Hey, the music's lame, the food's kinda shit. But let's dance. You're only 18 and a senior once. You said it yourself," He's shouting over the music, grinning ear to ear. "let's just say fuck it and fuck it!"
You couldn't have said it better yourself. "Fuck it!" You race him to the dance floor, grabbing him and flinging each other around. You hit quite a few fellow dancers as you jam, but nothing quite matters like Mary's smile. He's enjoying himself at a place he swore he'd never be, surrounded by people and teachers he swore he'd never see again.
The hours flew by faster than you thought, and soon you were among the last crowd of Prom-goers. The DJ relays a message on the intercom, letting everyone know that the last dance will start shortly and then everyone needs to go home. Happily, Mary takes your hand as half the people leave the dance floor to go find their respective dance partners.
He bows as the music stops momentarily. "Will you do me the honor and have this dance with me, doll?"
"Oh, but of course." You do a little curtsey before he kisses the back of your hand. "You flatter me, Mr. Goore.."
He drags you closer, wrapping his arms around your torso. "You look wonderful tonight. Like everynight." He compliments into your ear as you wrap your arms around his neck. You could feel your face turn a million shades of red.
"So do you, Mare. Silly, but quite adorable." You say, quietly as the music. Was this happening? Slow dancing with Mary at prom, this was real? It feels like a dream you'd wake up from in the morning and immediately laugh at how absurd it was.
But it isn't a dream.
"Thanks for forcing me out." He says after a long moment of swaying, heartbeat impossibly fast. "This place is lame, but you made it so much better." Your cheeks flush again at how close he is to your face, his lips in your ear and his cheek pressed to yours softly.
You pull away, heart beating. Mary looks down at you curiously, wondering what you're doing--and that's when you kiss him.
He kind of stiffens, before his arms tighten around your waist and he pulls you closer. It's a soft kiss, softer for one Mary Goore. He pulls away shortly, opening his eyes again.
"Did you-?"
"I did-"
"Well-" You both say in unison, before you both burst out in a fit of giggles and laughter.
"I.. meant it." You say quickly, hoping to get the first word in. "I like you. I like your lips, your smile. Your eyes. I like your "fuck it" attitude. Your voice, oh my~" You dramatically swoon in his arms.
Mary pinches your back, stopping you with a flustered grin. "Okay, okay, I get it, I get it."
"I like you, Mary Goore. Can I kiss you again?" Mary unmistakably turns pink again, pupils visibly widened.
"I would like that." He nods, but he's the one connecting your lips again. The kiss is sweet, longer than the last, but still somehow... chaste and gentle.
"I like your lips, too." Mary starts, bringing a hand to your cheek. "I like your smile. I like the way you laugh at the stupid things I say. I love that you brought me here--" He caresses your cheek. "--I love... everything about you. Now, can we get out of here?"
"I thought you'd never ask."

Helloo, im looking for advice and your blog seems like a safe place but feel free to ignore if that's too much/out of your depth
So I never got diagnosed with an ed but I did ballet in my formative tears (4yo til 11) and as such I started 'caring' about my weight/stature very early (recently found journal entries from when I was 6 and I was measuring my waist every night). When I had my first smartphone I obv downloaded every 'health' app I could find (lifesum, movesum, whatever, I probably had it at one point), but after hs I got into a bad depressive episode but one of the upside is that I decided to eat what felt good and not just focus on random cals. Recently I decided to get back in shape and well, let's say that it started innocently but I ended with myfitnesspal back on my phone. And like. I'm trying again but just, how do you do it? Bc even when I wasn't counting cals I still categorised every meal into good or bad, I always planned what I was going to eat and like, is there a way to not center my life around food?
Sorry for the rant but I'm just so frustrated and sad with myself
Sending you love 💞
first of all, thank you so much for trusting me with this. this is in fact a safe space, and I'm glad it shows ♡
your message actually tugged at my heartstrings, because I relate to this so much! in one way or another, since I was a kid, I've orbited around food more than any other topic. even now, when I'm doing better than ever, I'm healthy and strong and honestly the closest I've ever been to my ideal, dream body, food is still something I'll spend a lot of time thinking about. disordered eating behaviors are hard to move on from exactly because food is central to our lives! it's the most basic need any animal has, regardless of what "food" means to that animal, and we're no different.
for me, I was tired. I spent my entire life loathing myself, feeling disgust and hatred that consumed me and at the same time paralyzed me, caused me to be unable to change. but life kept happening, and eventually I was in a completely new circumstance that allowed me to very slowly change my relationship with food. I have no shame in admitting that I don't know if it would've happened if I didn't have my man with me, because he made me want to do better, be better and healthier so I could stand proud next to him. I didn't want him to date a sick girl who would only have limitations to present him. but I do believe it would've happened eventually, just slower, maybe.
but to answer your actual question, how I do it, I think it's sort of like battling an addiction. you can't really ever take your foot off the pedal, relax and just think that if you get a little better, it'll be forever and you'll never have to worry about it coming back. I think having an eating disorder in your teens is so much harder because everything is impulsive, immediate, instant, including our expectations. now that I'm past that, I can understand that being extreme and hardcore doesn't last, but smaller actions add up. my commitment to myself and my health is a forever deal, and at the same time, I'm only concerned about today. I think my disordered eating behaviors are an addiction for me, because as much as I know how harmful they are, I also do find comfort in them. they do serve me, in lots of way, like addictive substances do. so I don't ever let my guard down around them, and I each day I wake up focused on keeping them away for the day. I don't bother with tomorrows and yesterdays, only today, only the next time.
and don't get me wrong: I still plan my meals ahead, I still get guilty often, I still regret eating this and that often. it's not a perfect system, and I think accepting and understanding that is also a part of the reason why I've been healthier. I'm not looking for a perfect lifestyle or a perfect relationship with food, but rather a sustainable one, and there's no room for obsession, self-loathing, impulsiveness and nonchalantry when it comes to sustainability. there's a lot of planning, watching out, discipline and understanding instead.
I think that if you identify disordered eating behaviors in your story, I think it's okay to understand that it is and will probably always be a big piece of your life, and even more okay that you'll have to treat this topic with special attention. I can't tell you how this special attention will go because that's literally a self-discovery problem, but it's about finding out what purpose the behaviors are serving and then finding a way to replace them with sustainable, flexible and accessible ones. you just need to investigate what these mean to you. to me, it means mainly a lot of reading about health and a lot of cooking and learning about nutrition and a lot of hours on top of a treadmill. eventually, if you're patient with yourself, embracing low moments but not giving up, not rushing your process, not expecting immediate results, I know you'll eventually find your healthy. ⁠♡

I understood the dialogue between Bob and Joyce as meaning that he was already crushing on her in HS and she didn’t pay attention to him, not that they never interacted… but anyway, it looks like the play is trying to recapture the small town vibe of S1 with the idea that, for better or worse, everybody seems to know each other in Hawkins, and it’s pretty cool. S3 was a retcon in that regard imo.
We can interpret that way now yes.
But if it's just a matter of "I had a crush on you and you didn't pay attention/reciprocate", then I think a more logical statement would've been "You had no idea I liked you when we WERE teenagers" or something to that effect.
But again, in the grand scheme of things, it's not the biggest retcon in the world and it can be painted over with headcanons extremely easily, as I'm sure will be the case with many things in this stage play.
As for the small town mall thing, I will use an example from my own experience.
The mall in my hometown was built in 1975. Way before I was born. Now a days it's like a mini city, but back in the day, it was mostly corn and then a few streets just like this. (ST gives me nostalgia because it looks kinda similar to my hometown and is probably only a few hours away from it if Hawkins were a real town)
Tumblr media
It's hard to measure how many people actually lived in my hometown since it had a university there. Classic college town, busy one part of the year, a ghost town for the rest. Either way, everyone knew each other. My grandpa still calls me to say "-insert name- Just asked about you the other day! You remember them right?" "Pfff who???"
Anyway, it's very flat. A lot of corn fields and in a centralized area of the state that many would have to travel through or could easily travel to. Hawkins is probably an hour or two away from Indianapolis and Chicago, two major cities.
Building a mall a few miles away from Hawkins in the middle of nowhere with a lot of space and ease of access is not that weird. It's a lot harder to build a mall in the middle of a city than the outskirts of bumfuck nowhere.
Besides all that, Starcourt mall was doomed to fail. It wasn't a real mall. It was a facade set up by the Russian government. Once they got what they wanted, they would've ditched that place and let it crumble. Though, I guess the Mind Flesher did that for them. They only built it there because of its proximity to Hawkins, not because Hawkins has a major population or anything else of interest there other than the mall.
I am happy to see we're going back to even smaller town vibes. No more cross country shenanigans probably. Other than Joyce and I guess Hopper talking about getting out of Hawkins/Indiana and Hopper eventually succeeding for a while.

okay i'm FINALLY getting to the last of my requests, starting with the tadaaki x etsuji requested by @yansim-fan314 who i'm tagging bc i lost the original ask when i responded to talk about oneshots vs slowburn fics lol anyway HERE
Tadaaki remembered vividly the rage and confusion he’d felt the first time he saw Etsuji enter his gym. He knew how much the two of them had once scorned him and he hadn’t yet fully forgiven Etsuji for looking down on the martial arts club. Yet, for some reason, when he saw Etsuji’s eyes search for him, saw how he lit up once their gazes connected, Tadaaki’s heart raced.    
Etsuji navigated his way through the maze of equipment and held up a hand in greeting. “Yo.” 
Tadaaki held up hs fist in response. Etsuji closed his hand and bumped his knuckles to Tadaaki’s. “What’s up, man?”
    “I think I wanna focus on my core today. What are you gonna be doing?”
“Legs. Sakkun says my kick isn’t as strong as my punch.”
“That so? I know you gave me shit for skipping leg day initially, but what if you just focused on training your arms? Then you could just put your all into your punches.”
“Yeah, and then I’d be predictable as hell. If my opponents know to expect a hook, they won’t know what to do when I hit them with a good roundhouse!”
Etsuji rolled his eyes. “I swear, you’re almost too thorough.”
“I seem to recall you benefiting a lot from my thorough training and advice over the past few weeks.”
“Fine, whatever, let’s just get started.” The two of them smiled as they each went about their routines. Though they didn’t always use the same machine, they were more than happy to spot each other when it became necessary. During this hour of the day, there was no time or place for all the complicated feelings that Tadaaki had. 
However, that time had to come to an end at some point, and soon enough both of them had finished their planned workouts for the day. As the two of them went to the locker room to change, Etsuji groaned. “I really pushed myself today… I have no idea how I’m going to get through my sets tomorrow.”
“Sounds like you need a good soak,” Tadaaki advised. “Or a rest day. When was the last time you took one?”
Etsuji flinched. “I’m taking them okay? Look, I don’t even need my compression braces anymore. I’m fine!”
Tadaaki rolled his eyes. “Sure.” 
“But that soak sounds nice… Oh, yeah! Doesn’t this gym’s membership give you a discount at the bathhouse near here?”
“Yeah, but I usually just go home so I can put some bath salts in…”
“Bath salts? What, you some kinda chick? Come on, let’s try this place out!”
Tadaaki’s whole body tensed. “R-Right now?”
“Yeah, you got something else going on?”
“Uh… I guess not…”
“Then come on!”
Hesitantly, Tadaaki agreed. 
On their way to the bathhouse, Etsuji rambled on about sports news and his workout plans while Tadaaki listened. Maybe he was just tired from the workout, but something about this whole thing made his head spin. The idea of going to a bathhouse with Etsuji didn’t feel wrong, but it didn’t feel like it had felt whenever he went with his family or members of the martial arts club. Maybe he just wasn’t too keen on exposing himself to someone he’d hated until recently? Yeah, that had to be it. It was petty and childish, but it made sense. 
   “Watch out!”
Tadaaki felt a sudden jerk as Etsuji grabbed his wrist and pulled him from the street just as a car rushed past with its horn blazing. Tadaaki stared after it, not fully registering what had just happened. “Dude, are you insane?” Etsuji nearly shouted, releasing his grip on Tadaaki’s wrist. “How could you just wander into the road like that? You need to pay attention and not zone out when you’re this close to traffic!” 
Tadaaki looked down at his wrist. His skin burned and tingled where Etsuji had touched it. It sent shivers up his arm to his back. Probably just because Etsuji had grabbed it so hard. 
“Ugh, and my magazine fell out of my bag. Now it’s all dirty, and I was gonna look at it tonight…” Tadaaki looked at the magazine and saw a smiling woman dressed only in a bikini. Something settled deep in the pit of his stomach and clogged his throat. He knew Etsuji carried gravure magazines around, he’d even gotten used to it - why did it disgust him so much again?
“That’s… Chigusa, right?”
“Oh, you remember? Yeah!”
“She’s coming to our school next week, I think…”
“Really? Someone as famous as her?! Wow…”
Tadaaki balled his hand into a fist, focusing on the pain of his fingernails digging into his palm to stop his face from screwing up. “You must be really excited. It’s the chance of a lifetime.”
“Huh? For what?”
“You know, to get with her…”
Etsuji watched Tadaaki for a moment before breaking out into a big grin. “Ha! What?! Me and her? No way, dude, she’s like, way out of my league… and it would be so awkward, yanno?”
Tadaaki unclenched his fist. “What? You’re not gonna go after her?”
“Duh, of course not! She’s not someone I like like that. Maybe a while ago, yeah, but I don’t even know her…”
Tadaaki’s heart beat so hard he felt it would burst from his chest. Surely it was because that car had almost hit him. Or maybe his blood ran so hot just from the sight of a scantily clad woman. That had to be it. Because if it wasn’t, then…
“I-I just remembered, I have to study tonight! Sakkun said he’d boot me from the club if I don’t get my grades up, so…”
“Wait, you’re leaving?”
“Bye!” Tadaaki dashed off, leaving behind a very confused Etsuji. That night, he got the best cardio workout of his life. He was already exhausted, and he likely wouldn’t be able to even get out of bed tomorrow, but he ran and ran until he got to his home. He ignored his mother’s greeting and his father’s chiding and raced up to his room, nearly slamming the door behind him. His heart was still pounding and his lungs burned. As he desperately sucked air into his throat, feeling all the while like he was swallowing daggers, his legs finally buckled beneath him as he fell to the floor. 
It was the relief that made him realize it. No, he’d known for a while now - it was the relief that made him stop denying it. He’d been so relieved that Etsuji wasn’t interested in pursuing his favorite gravure model, relieved that he wouldn’t have to endure an endless amount of jealousy even worse than what he’d felt just looking at her image on the cover of the magazine. It wasn’t the exercise or the danger that made his heart work so hard, it was Etsuji. Tadaaki grasped at his chest, trying to relieve the pain. He cursed and swore, but it didn’t make the feelings or the images go away.
He wanted Etsuji all to himself. More than any goal, more than any woman, Tadaaki just wanted to be close to Etsuji. He thought of his eyes, imagined his rippling muscles, how he pulled his lips back when he really pushed his limits and how sweat ran down his face, and he knew that his life was going to be nothing but difficult from here on out.

24, 36, and 40 for the ask game:)
24. Favorite genre to write and read.
Fave genre to write? Whatever the fuck I'm writing. 🤣 I think it's classified as romance, tbh. I love my fantasy one, but it's honestly a lot of work.
Fave genre to read? Uh... I don't really know. I don't think I have a genre, per se. I just read what interests me at the time -- period pieces, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, classics, offbeat, nonfiction. I will say that my top three most read books are probably "Pride and Prejudice", "A Wrinkle in Time", and "The Great Gatsby". If that's any indication. (Btw, "The Giver" would be on there, but I don't have a physical copy. 😭)
36. Last sentence you wrote.
Ah... You get another "Take Me Away" excerpt because I am trying so hard to kill it.
"Shit happens, dude. We dealt with life differently." Alfred smiles weakly, shrugging his shoulders. "You need to get out, Al. It's the beginning of summer vacation."
40. Share some backstory for one of your characters.
Hmmm... I'll give you an original character answer.
We'll go with my fave from a fantasy-esque story I may eventually write. His name is Gabriel, and he's seventeen. He's actually had a really great life, all things considered. His family wasn't rich or poor; he got to do the extra things he wanted to do; his parents were nice. He just always felt like he was missing something. He's had this gift for leadership all his life, but he's never felt like that was really him. Especially when he thinks back to one of hs earliest memories.
He was maybe three or four years old, when The Shadows came after him. Monsters and the Darkness. Things he couldn't fight, and didn't know how. He'd been cowered in his bed when a man had come through his window, wielding a sword. Time seemed to pause as this man fought off all the beings that had gone after little Gabriel. And when they had finally retreated, the man had gone up to Gabriel, and his smile was soft and sad, and he told him, "We need you. Whatever you do, you stay alive and you find us. Because we can't win this without you, Gabriel."

1 (especially which MCU/Spidey one!), 11, 13, 24!
Hi <33
favorite fic you wrote this year
Hm, for Spidey/MCU I think it has to be Uneven Odds which wasn't even a popular one! I just had this idea of what would happen if Tony was Snapped and came back to a world that was just fine without him - especially Peter, Pepper & his family. Like, how would he fit in? We have so many (great ones too) of Peter trying to adjust after he comes back, I wanted to explore the Tony side of things. I think it came out pretty well!
As for HS, I'd go with And You Know For Me It's Always You mostly because it started as a small plot bunny and as of right now, it sits at 166k words (pre editing each chapter too!). It's the longest thing I've ever written and I really like how it's moving and how I manged to cram in more plot than I thought I could (even in my more plotty stuff!)
11. fandom you enjoyed writing for the most this year
It's a cop out but both Spidey/MCU and Hearstopper mostly because they are two very different fandoms and writing style! It'd been a hot minute since I delved into proper slash fics (especially smut) but the second I started it was so nice to know I could still get around to it.
But I still do love writing Peter & Tony stuff, I think I got a bit burnt out on it after finishing so many fics this year and doing so many random tropes. I also had some negative feedback on a few of them and it made me nervous to post more stuff! But have no fear, I have two almost finished ones and a handful of WIPs that I've made progress on for this year new! I'll be back on my bullshit soon enough.
13. favorite writing song/artist/album of this year
My fic naming scheme would probably suggest Taylor Swift, lol but I think I had on Superache by Conan Gray so much this year. I vibe with that one a lot when writing (even if I'm not writing something related to one of the songs) but I also spent a lot of time with Sleeping At Last (per usual) especially when doing MCU stuff, I usually have on a playlist of all the Atlas songs, tbh on shuffle because the whole thing is a masterpiece.
24. favorite fic you read this year
That is so hard, ugh, I read so, so, so, so many. And I know so many of the authors and I would feel so bad singling anyone out!! My Switzerland answer is just look at my Bookmarks, lol. I tend to forget to Bookmark things but then remember suddenly and go back to older stuff all the time, but it's a good read on the things I enjoyed.

For the ask game, all of them!
damn anon you're really putting me out there
well alright then :)
orchid- video game music counts, right? anyways Fanged Fastener from paper mario origami king is perfect. to me.
cactus- currently i'm learning about what would make a good gaming laptop, if that counts. i actually was trying to get into python coding a few months ago, but that's postponed until i get motivation to go back.
bamboo- usually when i get home i change into loungewear: a t-shirt and a pair of athletic shorts.
abelia- i don't take to wearing jewelry unless you count my earrings, which i think came from Claires actually??? anyways, i don't really take them off because i never really felt like it.
daffodil- i got one older sister. it would take too long to list how many differences i have from them, so i'll note one similarity: we both wear glasses.
mahonia- strangely enough, impending exam deadlines. turns out trying to study for a big test is great motivation for writing creative pieces. yes i know this is procrastination.
chia- i've got quite a few inside jokes with my splatoon buddies that barely make sense in context, but here's one with a separate online friend of mine: whenever we say our goodbyes we end out messages with an emoji rat. one time i even stopped myself from going to bed because i forgot to give her my goodbye rat.
sage- probably music is the most touching. i was in band from middle school to second year of high school, including marching band in hs, so that might be why i have a greater appreciation for music in comparison to other arts.
edelweiss- ok so back when lostbelt 6 released in japan, they used fairy knight for the fae servants before their true names were revealed. having 'afklancelot' can mean three things: either "a fairy knight lancelot", "away fron keyboard lancelot", or "a fucking knight lancelot." prolly the most creative effort i had in coming up with a url. as for why lancelot, well she's my favorite out of the cast in lb6, and her scribbly face is so goofy so
camellia- i was apparently really antisocial when i was young, even as a baby. my mom once told me that i was fairly content to be by myself on the mattress and would actually start crying if i were picked up. i'm still pretty antisocial irl, but online i can actually be pretty bold in saying what i feel like, rarely with filter.
jasmine- i really liked The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell, it was one of the few horror books that really captured my focus. will not be rereading though because 1) i don't have the physical copy and i have a habit of not rereading ebooks after the first full read and 2) the ending was fitting but made me a bit depressed, i felt really bad for the main character and her helplessness.
ivy- usually when someone talks to me and i answer in short terse answers it means i want to stop talking to them (tho sometimes it's because i don't have much to say). when i answer with stumbled words and a fast way of speaking, it's usually because im trying really hard to piece together what i want to say. same goes for messaging online: i tend to reply quickly to online conversations without much thinking since im excited to be included in discussions. usually when im feeling angry, annoyed, or upset, i tend to sigh dramatically.
chamomile- stuffed animals. preferably those with rounded body types, as they usually feel floofy and are comfy to lie down on/hug.
aloe vera- it's tied between 'flipping an egg on a frying pan' and 'climbing a tree'. idk this is a hard one.
palm tree- lutherrrrr from The Familiar :3 he's such an asshole who does asshole things throughout the story but he's so entertaining with surprising depth if you pay attention. one of the few characters where i'm torn between "i want to see him get a redemption arc and live on to change for the better" and "i want to see this man actively get worse and die from his hubris". so yeah.
nutmeg- aside from my bed, which has fish-themed bedding and has a lot of stuffed animals piled on top, my room's actually pretty neat from most clutter. i usually hang out in a separate room, which is neat in most places, but the only way i can describe the couch i mostly reside on is "messy as fuck".
papyrus- ive recently been listening to a few lord huron songs lately. in particular, Vide Noir and Long Lost ive been listening to on repeat, the former moreso.
taro- well, it depends on the person. if they're not into video games at much/at all, i usually just say general stuff on how i'm doing, maybe talk about books if they're also interested in reading. if they ARE into video games, i may tell them about the various games ive been playing, maybe including the antics ive been gettin into.

*even if a little surprising, it’s a lot of fun to make you close and over the edge with just a few motions of his hand* *he smiles when he feels you trying to move your hands* Nope, not time to untie them yet. *yeah his knees are a little stiff, but they have time to recover* I’m sure you can because you’re a smart cookie. *he pets your hair and sets you upright* *he will carry you upstairs if you can’t walk* Do you want me to be more forceful? *he smirks too* Because I was just making sure you were recovered enough. It was a tossup which to start with, but I like the way it’s turning out. *he loves seeing how pleased you look with his hand in your hair and eager to get a taste* Nuh-uh, no hands this time. Just need your sweet mouth. *hs sighs when he feels the first lick* Yeah I know I taste good, especially with your flavor on top. Mmmm. *he hums* *he thinks you’re just starting slow and will suck more but instead you let go and start the kisses* *it still feels good but not quite what he had in mind* Honey, I think I asked for sucking. *he lightly tugs your hair* *again he thinks you’re going to start sucking but you stay on his tip* *it’s sensitive, but he wants more* Honey Pie… *he could take more teasing, but he doesn’t want to* *and it’s not hard to see the glint in your eyes that reveal you’re doing this on purpose* You know, I think you’re holding back on purpose. *he tightens the hand in your hair, gripping it so it probably stings a bit* I think you want me to show you what I mean by sucking. You want me to be forceful with you, right Honey? *he’s talking to work you up, but also to give you a few moments to back out if you’re unsure* *of course you don’t take the out, so he feels confident to apply pressure on your head and push you down onto his cock* You want it, you get it. *he doesn’t push you all the way down, but after reaching halfway he pulls you back up for a breath and then pushes back down again* *it’s pretty thrilling to do it this way and he’s getting more confident that you’re enjoying it too* -Tobi
*oh yea and i totally love that. I make a sound at his words* Mm, i like them tied. *i smile. I might be able to walk but before that I'll need to rest them a bit* I'm sure you know the answer to that. I know and i appreciate it. Oh yeah, i like it too as i got satisfied very well. For now. *i smile because i like being restrained like this. I'm definitely enjoying his first sounds, making me have goosebumps. Oh, I'm having fun teasing him like this* Kisses are important too. *i smile innocently but make a small sound at the tug. I like tricking him into thinking that i won't tease again. It's fun. I know it's sensitive and i know he wants more but it's fun to keep teasing. I hum a bit around his tip. I know my eyes can give it away but it's okay, it's still fun. I still keep looking at him while he talks. Feeling his grip getting tighter and also feeling a bit of stinging because of it makes me almost moan and close my eyes for a bit. I kinda stop too for that moment and just keep his tip in my mouth. I open my eyes when he talks and oh, he's hot and makes me make another sound. I know he's also giving me time to back out of it but I just look at him as backing out isn't in my plans. And soon enough i feel him pushing my head down and i don't resist and just relax my shoulders, head and throat. I close my eyes to and feel more of his cock in my mouth and more of the mixed his and mine taste and i hum a bit. Of course i notice I'm not getting all of it and soon I'm pulled up which stings a bit but i like it very much. I open my eyes to look at him as he pushes me down and this time i can't help but moan because it is hot. I drool a bit too and i can feel that I'm just getting turned on but everything that's happening, including his sounds. I'm sure it's obvious that I'm enjoying it. And it will be even more after he'll find out that I'm getting wet again*

Chapter 4
You were uttery confused. If your memory serves you right, Monika—or in this case, Moniko—followed the script until the day of the festival where he's supposed to make a joke, which you did not appreciate, about Satori's death.
"Come sit down, Y/N! We made room for you at the table, so you can sit next to me or Moniko," said Satori with a huge smile on hs face. "I'll get the cupcakes," Satori stated in a sing-song voice.
Naruki quickly stood up from his chair. "Hey! I made them, I'll get them!" He ran to the corner of the room.
Satori laughed awkwardly. "Sorry, I got a little too excited."
Yuri then decided to spoke up. "Then, how about I make some tea as well?" He stood up and walked towards the closet.
I smiled as I watched the three. It feels so different seeing them performing the actions other than reading it from MC's perspective, and just seeing their sprites different emotions, and actions inside a screen.
You turned your head to both Satori and Moniko. Unlike what the original protagonist did, you decided to take the seat next to Moniko.
"It's surprising that you took the seat next to me," he suddenly spoke up.
You quickly turned to him. "H-huh?" You were taken aback by his statement.
He chuckled and leaned closer to you. "I said, it's surprising that you chose me."
You faked a cough and regained your composure. "I didn't know that the club president likes to flirt."
He chuckled and leaned back to his chair. "I'm not flirting," he gave you a smile. "I'm only taking back what's mine." He winked.
Your eyes widened. "What-"
"Okaaay, are you ready?" Naruki cuts your statement off while holding a tray in hand. "Ta-daa!" He cheered.
"Woah!" Satori cheered.
Naruki lifts the foil off the tray to reveal a dozen of blue, fluffy cupcakes decorated to look like little cats. The whiskers are drawn with icing, and little pieces of chocolate were used to make ears.
"So cute!" Satori reached out to get his own cupcakes.
You raised your hand and reached out to Moniko, wanting to ask more about his statement but he quickly stood up, too fast for your own taste, and stated a familiar line from the script.
"I had no idea you were so good at baking, Naruki!" He commented.
He let out a proud laugh. "Well, you know." He motioned to the cupcakes. "Just hurry and take one!"
Satori grabs one first, then Moniko followed.
"It's delicious!" A huge smile is plastered across Satori's face as he took a huge bite off his cupcake.
You stared at Moniko as his eyes lightened up when he took the first bite of his treat. You guessed that he probably knew how it tastes like the back of his hand—considering how the game loops over and over again.
"Hey." You turned your head to Naruki who has his arms crossed out, a frown visible on his lips.
"Hmm?"
"Aren't you going to eat? Don't tell me that I baked all of this for nothing?" He pointed out.
"Oh, right!" You let out a nervous chuckle. "Sorry, something's been bugging my mind since this morning. I'd love to try your cupcakes, Naruki."
He grabbed one cupcake from the tray and handed it to you. "Then go and eat it!"
You mentally rolled your eyes. "Geez, okay." Not wanting to start an early fight with the tsundere, you reached out to take one cupcake and took a bite.
And oh, gods, your mind ran out of words to describe how delicious is it. The way the game's mc describe it can't even do justice on how amazing this cupcake taste!
"I'm not gonna lie, Naruki. This is probably the best desert I've ever tasted in my entire life!" You complimented. "Thank you!"
His cheeks turned red but a proud smile is visible on his face. "W-Why are you thanking me? It's not like I-"
"Made it for me or anything?" you cut off his famous tsundere line. "Yeah, I know!" You chuckled. "It's not like you can predict who's Satori's going to bring, right?"
Naruki's face turned a darker shade of red. "I-I-" he fumbled with his words. "I'm gonna go check on Satori! Hmp!" He pouted and turned away.
You heard a snort next to you and saw Moniko looking at you with pure enthusiasm in his eyes.
"Really?" He mouthed.
You shrugged. "What? I'm only telling the truth."
"Not actually the best thing you can say," he commented.
"But still... it was a good one." You winked.
He chuckled again and pinched your nose. "Uh-huh, but you have got to say, Naruki's cupcakes are amazing."
"Yeah! He probably should join a baking show or something."
"Competition, not show," he corrected.
You rolled your eyes. "Nah, same thing."
He flicked his finger on your forehead. "They're not."
"Hey!" You caressed your forehead that was assaulted by Moniko. "I'm going to report this to the principal, you meanie!"
He laughed hard, his hand holding his stomach. You pouted at the sight of him not taking your threat into consideration.
Suddenly, a thought in your head reminded you of something. "Hey, you're still not spared of your words earlier!"
He stopped laughing, wiping a fake tear on his eyes but his huge grin is still there. "H-huh?"
"The whole-" you copied his voice. "'I'm only taking back what's mine.' thing!" you changed back to your voice and held out a finger.
"First, that was really clichè, no kidding. I practically almost always read that line from every romance novels! If you want to win my heart, then do something original! Second, what's up with that line? There's really something going on with you..." you deducted.
You don't know why, but talking to Moniko felt so normal and comfortable that you just have the urge to open your mouth and say something. It felt so normal to the point that it became a familiar feeling the moment the two of you teased one another.
And looking from an outsider perspective... It's pretty unnerving.
Something just doesn't seemed to add up right... and it scared you.
Moniko gave you a sweet smile. "Original? You want original?" He then leaned down and whispered to your ear.
"Surely hanging out with Sayori really is original, don't you think?"
Your body ran cold at his sentence.
Sayori...
He said Sayori, not Satori!
Your face went pale as the both of you stared at each other, his emerald green eyes held different kind of emotions to the point that you were unable to figure out which is which.
"Y-you-" you were unable to finish you sentence when he turned around to face the rest of the club members.
"Alright, everyone! I have an idea for our club activity!" He then turned to you and winked. "But first, let's get to know our new member more."
You are so doomed.
- - -
A/N: Okay... I honestly don't know if I'm doing this right but I would like to thank everyone who keeps reading this story! If you have any concerns, opinions, or request, feel free to send a message!
Things might seemed be confusing but it'll all make sense as every chapters proceed, I've honestly already planned it out. And if you ever guessed what the plot is, then great! It's not like I'm really trying to hide this or something... Ahahaha. I honestly just wrote this story out of craving for more DDLC Boys content.

I'm so disappointed and confused as to why we didn't get Belmanes
This has been sitting here since my rantings two weeks ago about missing season 2 Gregory, and Belmanes because I'm awful about answering these sometimes 😬 Now admittedly, we did get some really good Kybel content and I'm absolutely not opposed to that ship, and it's probably easier to tie the pod squad to main characters so they don't end up having to add MORE main characters when they already clearly can't handle as many as they have now. So logically, it wouldn't make sense to put Isobel with her 13 episodes with a love interest who gets maybe 5 or 6 episodes. They'd have to upgrade him to a main character and Tanner is on another show as well so I can see why it wouldn't be feasible.
BUT
The storyline is just so perfect?! LIke, Max and Michael got love stories spanning a decade and I think Isobel deserves something just as epic and earth shaking and cosmic, especially after all she has suffered. And I think it would have been interesting to have had her and Gregory having a bit of a spark in HS but Noah blocked her connection to him. Which in turn would have been a perfect way to introduce discussions of how the aliens connect to their soulmates since we are going deep into the alien science and tethering this season anyway. And you have Gregory who, like Alex, grew up in a toxic, abusive environment and worked hard to remain soft, and kind and gentle, and this shows in him working with young children, and how good he is with them. I am....whooo boy, very upset that we lost that characterization for him this season because that's part of what made us all fall in love with him in just a few episodes! And the tie between him being a teacher on the reservation and Isobel wanting to teach self-defense classes to young girls could not be any more perfect! But we also see from their interaction in season 2 that he was enchanted with her sense of humor and how she broke the rules back in HS, enough to remember it a decade later. And I think that strong connection could have spooked Isobel a bit so we could have drawn it out and still had her date some women and explore what it means to be Isobel free from Noah's influence, but built up a friendship and had a really good friends-to-lovers arc for them.
Like I said, I get why they might want to put Isobel with a character who has more episodes per season and a contract as more than a guest star and working around Tanner's availability, and Isobel and Kyle are absolutely adorable together and I won't be mad about that happening instead, but I think there could have been a really adorable story with Belmanes on both sides and then maybe we could have gotten more of Greg and Alex interacting, and Michael trying to give Greg and shovel talk and getting one right back, and FINALLY getting some Isobel and Alex Bitchy Ice Queen Besties content. But I could have withstood losing out on Belmanes for Kybel, but I can't handle losing Soft Teacher Gregory to Street Racer Greg who doesn't even remember he has a brother he said he wished he'd stood up for more, much less any desire in interacting with him, or the love of Alex's life that Greg killed his own father to save and protect, all because they wanted to pair him with someone who called his adorable class of children "sticky". And I'm still seething that we got Kyle, Greg, and Michael all in a scene together and not ONE mention of Alex, the person that connects them. So as unfortunate as it is, and as much as it saddens my poor Belmanes heart, I'd be okay never seeing Greg again after this season.
