I feel like sjm was setting up Az & Mor to be like Chaol & Celaena and weren’t going to make them end game, but she had to come up with a reason why and so she just decided to make Mor queer because it seemed like the most easier option. Mor, is a great character & it’s frustrating to see how her character is being reduced to a romantic strife. She deserves so much better. I don’t think E/riel will be endgame and I don’t know why Sarah felt the need to add that into everything when I’m pretty sure she said at one time she viewed them having a sibling relationship. I think what sjm could’ve done is plant small seeds that Mor was queer in ACOMAF and or came up with another reason why they wouldn’t have ever ended up together and brought in a love interest for Az (maybe in the first or second or even third book) and planted another set of small seeds of him ending up with someone else, instead of using Mor as a romance strife if that makes sense. She could’ve spent some more time plotting out all that, came up with more justifiable reasons why Mor & Az never would be a couple, but instead it became a mess and there are people literally blaming Mor for “leading” Az on. I have a hard time believing that Azriel, the Spymaster, who is very observant of people and their body language, does not know about Mor being into ladies. Deep down I feel like he already knows. I’m not upset that Moriel was never intended to be endgame. That’s fine. Things happen, but come up with a better reason to not make them a couple. Don’t use Mor being queer as a plot device. It’s upsetting at how people shit on Mor.

The way that people talk about all the women in this fandom is seriously disturbing, including Mor, Elain, Gwyn, Feyre, and Nesta - hell, even Lady of Autumn! But Mor is the quintessential example of how misogynistic and sexist this fandom can be.

there are people literally blaming Mor for “leading” Az on

LITERALLY HOWWWW ASLDKHJSADKLJASD

I've seen this too and I'm sorry 🙃 but at what point does walking away when someone is confessing their feelings, sleeping with other people, and otherwise ignoring someone romantically for FIVE HUNDRED YEARS leading them on???? All Mor is doing is freaking existing in Azriel's vicinity. 🙃 She doesn't flirt with him, she doesn't suggest hanging out just the two of them, she does literally the opposite of those things - how the fuck do people think Cassian got wrapped up in all of it? Why is he the buffer, if not to help Mor distance herself from Azriel? In what freaking world is that her leading him on????

I think that this whole situation is what happens when sjm publishes the results of her utter pantsing. She is not a planner, she does know the broad strokes of where things are heading, but she changes her mind and then just fudges stuff - oh look, Amren randomly remembered the Dread Trove in acosf, just wait for the 2 Dread 2 Trove in acotar5, followed by Dread Trove: Prythian Drift in acotar6. Whatever mulligan or McGuffin she needs to come up with to get the plot where she needs it to go, she'll do it. Even if we're over here scratching our heads wondering how the fuck all these people who are supposedly such good friends seem to not understand the most basic stuff about one another.

There's also a difference between criticizing the author for writing shit that doesn't make sense, and criticizing the character for doing something dumb. The point at which the characters' actions don't make sense is where we should start pointing fingers at the author. For example, why would Az not have moved on in all this time? Why does Mor not feel comfortable coming out to her cousin and best friends if they have proven that they would support her? Why has Az just sat there suffering for 500 years, rather than idk, handling his shit?

idek where I'm going with my response other than I agree with everything that you've said. SJM has done a lot of things that, depending on her motives, could be well deserving of criticism. But when the fandom instead turns around and leans into it, and decides that actually, let's read this in the worst possible light we can and perpetuate the narrative that women are to blame always and forever for whatever happens to them and for whatever happens around them, then um. That's when I want to rip my hair out.

I see this sort of discussion re: Elain and Lucien sometimes, which is why I honestly don't gaf how she's making him feel right now. I said in the last couple of months (I'm too lazy to find/link it) that I don't really care if he was suffering because of her over Solstice. It sucks for him, I do have sympathy, but I don't blame Elain for doing what she feels like she needs to do. But there are some wild double standards in this fandom when people can say on the one hand "Elain doesn't owe Lucien anything because feminism!" and then on the other hand they say "Mor should definitely do everything she can to make Azriel feel better about feelings that she is not responsible for".

I just... don't think that Mor, or Elain, or Gwyn, or any other woman, real or fictional, should automatically be the mom/therapist towards any man who happens to come across their path. Call me crazy. But I think women do enough emotional labor already.

Wally anon: lollllyeah, very valid question I just don't happen to use it dhdhd.

And it's always ridiculous howwww bad it frequently is + how it would be much easier to make one of the straight characters who already give off ~vibes~ queer but nope just poorly written stereotypes in most cases. 🙃 Oh yeah 5 has some terribleee writing between them. Like, I get Sam was estranged & all but the writers needed to try harder to sell that they are literal.actual.sisters. instead of just Melissa & Jenna's chemistry. It's wild when you think about how much Sidney & Gale are c o n s t a n t l y butting heads from out the gate & it has lead to them having one of the. most complex final girl dynamics in the entire genre. But there's such a disconnect between Sam & Tara. 💀 Not hot either, huh? I think it was just a matter of coincidence, collateral damage & all that, since Michael is ~evil/a force of nature~ like how most of the deaths in Kills could've been avoided if people had not gotten in his way. 👍 (a different kind of knife fr 🍆) Absolutely agreed. It's grown on me a little over the years, but H20 is still the ultimate version of Laurie to me with Ends coming very close for having a more ~natural~ presentation of her trauma. Gives you a few ideas @ "take it," with him filling you full of his own meat, huh? 🤭

MTE @ the lizard (& yeah, I do believe you're right @ the transformation, they were really cutting some corners there dkdbsk). But, yup, we should've just got one. really good antagonist cause while I can see pieces of both of them that work, the movie was undeniably overstuffed, especially when considering the deleted MJ sub-plot like whyyyy so much going on it. (Ooh, okay, will do. Thanks for the heads up. 🤭) Uh oh. That doesn't sound like a particularly resounding endorsement lollll. It seems like Tom keeps getting screwed out of getting something reallyyyyy juicy to sink his teeth into (the innuendo in that statement is already obvious). Idk if it's cause he has such a ~baby face~ still or w/e, but he needs a new agent fr to find him more daring material. But, yeah, I feel you. We need a villain that is entirely. Tom's, not attached to Tony in some way or brought in from another universe, completely just tied to him & specifically him. Oh, that'd such a hot idea. You knowwww he's almost been caught using it so many times cause the increased sex drive makes him insatiable & needing. to stick his dick into something. It's the easiest thing for when he doesn't wanna go through the trouble of finding someone else & the legs on his tip makes him cum soooo hard that he'll be left leaning back & panting. 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 Yesss. I perfectly picture it cause you know Thor has such an ego (& a good reason for it cause you know it is h e f t y) that he refuses to concede to a machine & would keep pounding Peter until he told him his hammer was better. 🛠 Exactly, exactly. It just makes the sounds of him slipping inside you wetter & sloppier than usual & makes it feel better when his dick is stretching your walls. 🫣 And, even then, as previously covered elsewhere, he feels most comfortable naked, so you know he'd be ready & willing for you to slip everything off. 👀

You get it 🤤

Yup, the disconnect is why I have to be like 🤔 By anyone who's even wanted to get between them cheeks tbh. And what is this special punishment he has reserved for them? 😳 omfg I knowwww @ AoU. I unpopularly would classify him. more of the villain in that over Ultron cause he just...ignored. all reasoning & common sense to make that mfer, yet n o b o d y takes him to task for it. This conversation is really bringing back each & every thing I can't stand about that character & only. him as far as the OG team is concerned cause the movies let him get away with soooo much! 🖕 (Oh, do tell @ Mysterio having a possible crazy kink) Ugh it's suchhhh a crime Peter & Pietro never met (& how. bullshit Pietro's death was) Yup. Plus, getting to watch both Tom & Jake get reallyyyyy angry with their characters dealing with their complex feelings over Tony would've been 🥵 (Yesss, you get it & you know he'd be gulping it just so he could keep getting more ~material~ to test 🤤) Ah, kinda clever title there. (Well, you know I support you exploring this idea cause short!top!Peter supremacy >>>> + the mental image of him just having a firm. grip on your shoulders with his muscles flexing while he's plapplapplaping away at your hole is 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨)

Gonna make you feel pregnant even if it would be impossible. 🤫

Not surprising to hear. People regularly do a lot of stupid shit & that intensifies during the holidays. What all do you have to do in the ER?

The best actors are. 🙌 Care to decipher those blanks for me? 🫣

Fingers crossed. Idk if I'll manage to watch for myself before the year ends cause I have a few things to catch up on. But yeahhh, religion only really tends to work for me in media when there's some form of commentary being made for similar reasons. Doing more than just praying for sure. 👀

sdbdksk your reaction to Percy Jackson.

yeah like i don’t mind responding to this but they do be lengthy sometimes😭

Yesss ugh like they have potential but just make them “friends” and render another character gay, which isn’t an issue, but the queer-designated character ends up being worse than if they bothered to add the nuance to the two characters that worked better. Like, I get that Sam would drop everything and make sure she’s okay, because they have history and grew apart. That’s not any reason to ensure that she’s okay, but when they reunite, that’s where all the problems start. Tara is mad at Sam and she never really has a talk with her that changes that, she just gets attacked and then Sam’s by her side to make sure she’s safe. It makes the scene later when Sam’s like “you really think i wouldn’t trust my own sister??” after seeing her tied up in the closet feel less earned, because Tara kinda would have every reason to be behind ghostface. She’s openly mad at Sam, who was withholding a secret related to one of the original killers sooo. Exactly, they want Tara and Sam to be the new Gale and Sidney but it doesn’t work at alll. Even with Sidney’s fleeting time in the movies until her absence, they still had a better dynamic (even in 6 when Gale’s putting herself in danger and “keeping Sidney safe”.) I dunno… I like my cute little princess pookies to be deadly and big. True, but if that was the case I might as well be throwing myself to him🫣 Yeah I like that Laurie finds closure as the trilogy progresses, and it does feel as good as H20s by the end. Exactly! He could track me down and give me that meat raw🤭 he doesn’t have to get the cook to do anything fr

Yeah I really hate how little we get of Peter and Gwen as a result. It felt like a response to the negative reaction of the first movie from fans, until 2 ended up being so bad they just cancelled 3 sksjsk. Tom said in a recent interview that he needs a new agent lol, and HE DOESSSSS. The movies he’s getting aren’t the worst, like his talents still shine through but the actual quality of each movie/show has been so meh or bad. Cherry was good to me but ik critics didn’t like it, same for the devil all the time. Decent, but not great or really outstanding. Same for the other Disney projects he’s in. I’m happy to say he’s losing his baby face (sad and happy. I love it for being so mf adorable but also woof he looks even better🫣) So true @ the villain. He needs his own, Mysterio was good but not his and same for the Vulture. (I don’t even wanna talk about green goblin. I hate to say that I am a hater of his. Not the actor tho, Willem is great but the character is just… and it’s made even worse that this isn’t even MCU Peter’s green goblin, it’s a rehash of someone else’s.) Peters heightened sex drive + the fact that he gets no bitches canonically is so funny to me. I feel like you would hug him and he’d be leaking already. Maybe just over stimulated from the spider suit on a particularly horny night patrol. Thor has two hammers, and one is definitely bigger than the other🫣 I know Steve could’ve lifted both sksjs Thor having more stamina than Peter (I wonder, could he go days at a time because he lives for thousands of years and therefore time compared to a human like Peter would mean he can last much, much longer. Even with Peter’s mutated dna? Sorry i’m gonna cut myself off because i love genetics😭) He could totally sell it and be rich… but he’s keeping it just to use on you because🫣 I know Wally just has that look of eagerness when he can strip everything off and do whatever he wants naked, no boundaries in the way of sexual stuff and he can just flip from watching tv and w/e to tugging it with ease🤭

Yeah I don’t like itttt but maybe it’ll be done better in the next trilogy. Maybe. Ohhhh i see he has some competition. Well, call me Nathan Drake because I’m exploring Uncharted territory first🤭 the punishment probably involves a sore throat for Christmas. The present, if you were nice, would been his ass or him using his dick sweetly like candy canes sksjsj. Instead, he’ll be rough with it like coal, since coal’s kind of outdated… So true about Tony. He caused the conflict and recklessly endangered everyone. If it’s getting you that riled up, let’s talk about the characters we do like lmaoo. I mean Peter having a weird kink and exploring it and Mysterio being like “oh my god my eyes!!” Like he’d be the only one to see it, and maybe Peter takes advantage of that but I could also see Mysterio exploring stuff in there that’s unconventional😶‍🌫️ HOW DOES THE FASTEST PERSON ALIVE GET SHOT?!???? By guns no less?! Not even a tank that covers a lot of ground so maybe he would get hurt. Bullets. Mf bullets. Anyways Pietro and Peter became besties (and maybe more. i could see pietro having love at first site when he joined the team) Oh totally, I’d love for them to have some complex, messed up feelings that they take out on each other in both anger and desire. Peter wants that dad figure back and look at the dilf right there😳!! And oh, he knew Tony? Even better for him, but Mysterio’s angry at Tony so it’s like hatefucking type of stuff eventually😮‍💨 He’s chugging it like crazy because Peter shoots out so much (how else does he have enough webs to swing around all of new york??😶‍🌫️) Technically, he wouldn’t be short for me… still a few inches taller😪 so I’m the shorter one, but I get the image!! Those muscles just doing their thing as he’s stark (haha stark) naked and going at it at your hole.

Oh i bet, they’d go till you are actually pregnant😮‍💨 might take a long time butttt

So, because I’m still working to getting my degree + license in med school, I’m basically cleaning the equipment and prepping it for usage and shadowing doctors/nurses in the ER if they’re affiliated with my college. (The hospital that the ER is attached to is right next to the college and they have this whole program, it’s pretty sick .. literally) Its mostly just to help get field experience and ensure a job later down the line when we can actually do all the things we need to be licensed to do. (unfortunately, no extra credit for all that time being there😪)

Maybe over uh… dm?😉 I don’t want to get too crazy on these posts lmaoo

Yeah I won’t have much room to speak with the blood of christ pumping through his dick- and make the bread really hard (bad joke?)

ITS SO BAD AND IM NOT A PERCY JACKSON MIDDLE SXHOOLER. … i was into warrior cats okay😭 i returned to the books a while back for nostalgic purposes and the continuity errors of basic appearance is CRAZY

“you get me” (famous!y/n x harry)

Famous!y/n x Harry Styles

First Harry fic so please be kind, but feedback is SUPER appreciated

Initially inspired by the picture of Harry leaving the Gucci store with 15 bags but barely has anything to do with that lol

Definitely thought of Ellen for the interview idk why tho - also I struggle with writing Harry’s dialogue because I really want to get it right, but hopefully the more practice I get, the better/more natural it will sound. ALSO i have like no music or music industry background lol. Somewhat proofread, but its 2:30 am so it could be shit

Fluff!

Warnings: maybe some angst over being famous per say, past loneliness

Word Count: 3.7k literally howwww, i’m going to do a pt. 2 though because it was kind of a long set up and feelingsssss

---

Interviewer: Please, welcome our next guest, a woman who’s sure to have her name written up beside the music greats someday, Ms. Y/N L/N!

You can’t contain the grin that spreads to your face as you carry yourself out onto the stage and see the audience cheering for you. It was your third big interview since your first album had been released and you’d seen your fame skyrocket over night. This being the third one this week meant you’d gotten comfortable getting asked questions, but you also weren’t bored of it yet. It was exhilarating being the center of attention, especially for something that had been your life’s work up until this point. You always had to fight for whatever you got and the recognition you were starting to have was reassurance that you hadn’t been a fool to risk a safe and certain life for your dreams.

The interview begins as the rest had, a few pleasantries, how you were feeling, and then the introduction of the album. The host asked you what your inspiration was for some of the songs and the album name and cover. You loved to talk about the music, it was the whole reason you were there. The meaning, the sound, the name, it all meant so much to you and you talked about how music can be interpreted differently by everyone and even the shifts in someone’s mood can change a song’s meaning, but what it meant to you at the time of writing was always something specific. You practiced those answers in the mirror before the interviews because they were important to you and you didn’t want your words on your art to ever be misconstrued. The host then complimented your style and you were at the point where you thought your interview should be wrapping up when they asked you one more question, and it threw you for a loop.

Interviewer: So Y/N, we’ve been hearing some rumblings around, about you and another famous musician, Mr. Harry Styles. Anything going on there?

Your face heated up, you hadn’t been expecting a personal question about possible relationships. Nothing like this had been asked of you at your previous interviews. It’s about the music, the art, and who you were, it’s always about that and nothing more. To be honest, you were a bit annoyed the host had chosen to stray from those topics. You didn’t care for the celebrity side of being a famous musician, the lack of privacy, the prying eyes of media and the general public. They saw enough of you through your art, you bore your soul through music why did they want to peak into your heart as well?

Y/N: I don’t know if I’d rather be with Harry Styles or actually be Harry Styles. Like, he’s literally such an icon, I want to be able to walk out of a Gucci store after spending hours there with 15 bags full of my purchases and helpers to carry it all out c’mon… He’s also an amazing songwriter, musician, and performer, of course. Didn’t mean to sound superficial, but I’d also love to own even half of his closet.

You hadn’t really answered the question, but the audience laughed and the host obviously got the hint that you weren’t interested in fanning any flames of romance with Harry Styles or anyone else. For one, you didn’t even know the man, but you had always been a loving fan of his. You cited him as one of your role models when you were first starting to try and break into the music world. Second, if you did know him, that wouldn’t be an appropriate topic for your album press junket going on, even if it meant more publicity because of Harry’s big celebrity status. The host decided to qualify their original question with a final sentiment.

Interviewer: I totally feel the same way! I only ask because the outpouring of support you’ve received seems to be from similar groups who also follow Harry. Many have been comparing your sound to his solo career work.

Y/N: Ah...well that’s very kind of people to say. He’s definitely a big inspiration, his creativity and drive is incredible. I’d love to be as successful as him someday.

The interview ended. You and the host shook hands and you waved and sent kisses to the crowd before retreating backstage. You were exhausted, but happy. You hoped to avoid anymore stressful interview questions that didn’t truly revolve around music. Of course, life is never that simple.

One month later

You had done countless more interviews and talk shows as promo for your album and the buzz around it had continued to grow. Your fame continued to rise as well and that one question you had dodged at your third interview had come back around to bite you, naturally. Daily Mail’s dumb headline read: “Y/N can’t decide! Date Harry Styles or Steal His Closet?” The Sun was also running with your response and miscontruing it completely, something about how you were madly in love with Harry but jealous of his designer partnerships, you couldn’t even stomach reading the garbage. This was your worst nightmare. Not only was it taking away the focus from your album, but you were also sure this dumb gossip had reached the very set of ears that the gossip was allegedly also about.

You had signed with Columbia Records for your first album, the same record label as Harry Styles, so managers had been in contact with one another about the whole fiasco trying to get the actual truth - which was that the two of you didn’t even know each other and there were no problems whatsoever. Your manager also brought along the good news that Harry had actually listened to your album and loved it, “He said ‘Congratulations’ by the way, loved the sound. Said he’d heard you were very music focused and be open to do some mentoring on songwriting and vocal specifics, if you wanted. It’d have to be in private though, obviously.” She had added the last bit, but you understood why. To have the opportunity to discuss your music with one of your longtime role models, heroes even, was beyond anything you could have imagined coming from your album’s success. And it made the drama all the more palatable because now you at least got to talk to Harry like the media was so adamantly saying you were doing already.

You nodded quickly and agreed, while trying to keep your teenage fangirl excitement hidden below your mature now-famous musician facade. Like you said, Harry was your hero, he’d been your hero since you were in middle school and had Up All Night downloaded on your iPod touch, blasting it as loud as possible, sound hitting your poster-filled walls. You weren’t the same girl as you were then, obviously, you had grown up to be a strong, independent, and confident woman. But, you still smiled at the thought of your younger self with your baby face squealing in the nosebleeds at the Take Me Home Tour (where you swore Harry had looked straight at you) and her seeing you now, dressed in a sleek outfit setting up an appointment to meet with Harry to discuss your first album, a success.

The next Thursday evening

You took a deep breath, in through your nose and out through your pursed lips. You were anxious and excited at the exact same time. Your meeting with Harry was tonight, right now actually, and you hadn’t been able to think about much else since your manager had confirmed the meeting last week. She got you the details a couple of days ago, the location: his house in Malibu, the time: 5:45 P.M. You had brought along a copy of your album on vinyl because you thought it sounded best this way, second only to performing it live.

Choosing your outfit for tonight was probably the toughest decision you’d ever made, harder than choosing between an education and following your dreams, harder than choosing your favorite Beatles song. You didn’t want to worry so much, this wasn’t a date you kept reminding yourself, but everything you tried on earlier kept having something wrong with it, too dressy, too boring, too ‘not yourself’. You had settled for these blue high-waisted pants that you’d worn to your first ever podcast interview, a thin black long sleeve, and a brown leather coat that fell below your hips with vans sneakers, casual, simple, yet still true to you and your vibe.

You raised your free arm and formed a fist, hesitant to knock, as if you’d damage Harry’s seemingly perfect Malibu beachfront home by knocking too hard on the wooden front door. You waited a few moments and could here some shuffling behind the door, some incoherent words were seemingly said, but the walls muffled them before they could reach for ears. Soon enough, Harry Styles in the flesh was before you. He beamed down at you, huffing, slightly out of breath as if he had been clear across the house when you knocked. His strong figure towered above your far smaller stature. He was hanging onto the door since he had opened it only slightly. “Hello, Y/N?” he greeted and questioned simultaneously. “Hi,” you responded and extended the same hand that had just rapped against his now open door. He gripped it, ushering you into his home, “Come in, come in, it’s nice to meet you, don’t want you to catch a cold now do we?” He took note of your strong handshake and ring clad fingers.

He walked you into an area between the kitchen and a sitting area. The kitchen was open aside from a bar high top between the two rooms. You sat down at his prompting and made yourself comfortable. “I brought my record on vinyl, sounds best in my opinion, otherwise I’d recommend seeing it live,” you laughed as you handed the vinyl to him and took off your coat. “Technically, y’know, I could hear it live right now, if you were willin’ f’course,” Harry had responded over his shoulder as he placed the vinyl by his idle record player, “Anything to drink?” “Just water for me, please.” His accent was even stronger in person, especially since he had moved back to London and seldomly stayed in California, except for business and quick trips. As far as you knew, he had already been here on business for the week and was able to pencil you in.

You two settled in, with your waters, seated at the bar top beside each other, but swivelling the chairs to face one another more. Again, you were overwhelmed with the reality of the situation, sitting beside Harry Styles as professionals, peers even. He had heard your work and liked it enough to want to discuss it with you. It was a day you never thought would come to pass. He started off not by asking about the music right away, but about how you were doing with the whirlwind that stardom is. “How are you, Y/N? It’s been somewhat of a out of the frying pan into the fire kind of moment for you?” He stared at you intently, caring to hear your answer.

You couldn’t help but chuckle again and contain your smile, “Thank you for asking, Harry. Yeah, its been definitely stressful, but it’s everything I’ve ever wanted and more so the good is still outweighing any bad. Definitely, fucking exhausted though, dunno how many more interviews I can do before my jaw goes completely rigid from talking so much.” It’s Harry’s turn to laugh, his eyes shone with intrigue at what you said and how you said it. You were gorgeous, but it was how your hands helped you through what you were trying to say and the small laughs you tried to keep in while you amused yourself with your words that really made him want to hear you talk all night long.

He agreed about how the promo junket for an album can get tedious and tiresome, but also the absolute fulfillment you get from people loving the music you’ve made. The two of you chatted about surface level personal matters for a little more, but quickly moved to the music. “I took a listen a couple weeks after the album was released. I especially loved the last track. It reminded me so much of a song I never released, actually…” he trailed off.

Your final track had been a ballad, an homage to George Harrison with your use of guitar and sitar, but the lyrics were a story based off of a poem you had written one night in high school. It surrounded a girl never feeling quite good enough for the person she wanted to be with and how it happened everytime, everytime she was ready to giver herself to someone, they were always closed off. Of course it held some truth to your own life and feelings, but you wrote this girl as someone with a seemingly perfect life - when yours was obviously far from any semblance of perfection.

You wondered what Harry’s song would have sounded like, had it been about a seemingly perfect girl or a guy with a seemingly perfect life, always giving himself to the wrong person and getting destroyed by that very fact because he was impatient as the girl in your song had been. “Can I ask, how so? How’d it remind you of your own song, the words or the music?” “Oh, the story, I felt like that for a time in my life and I like to be vulnerable in my songs because it helps me process, but listening to it back has always been too painful. Could never release that or perform it, it’d wreck me.” You nodded, you completely got where he was coming from. You noticed his downcast eyes and his somber tone, you knew not to push it any further.

It was quiet and you decided it’d be okay to take his hand resting between the two of you. “Harry, I understand,” your sincerity spilled into the words, filling the quiet house, “It’s not easy. Feeling that way. Thinking you’re the only goddamn one and why the fuck does it always happen to you? I used to ask my ceiling ‘why me?’ every night of high school” you smiled then. “But you know how it is,” you rubbed your thumb over his large warm hand and he lifted his head, “it gets so much better - c’mon look at us now! It can get hard, too, all this, I’m sure. But our lives? They’re amazing!” He beamed as he had when he had first seen you at his door and when you’d first really spoke. He moved his hand from under your palm to weave your fingers with his, both of your hands with covered in rings and they clinked to fit together, finally resting perfectly fitted. He shook your two hands up and down, “God, you’re so right! That damn song, m’sorry always puts me in a mood,” he shakes his head, “not yours though, f’course, s’lovely, better than my sodding song” he finishes quickly.

After that, the mood lightened right back up. It filled you with such appreciation for Harry that he would trust you so much with such a personal detail since you two had just met. But maybe, he had trusted you because he had felt that same spark between you. It wasn’t necessarily a romantic spark, but it was obvious the two of you were kindred spirits. Besides your album, the two of you talked about everything. You loved the same bands, movies and books, you both loved to cook and had similar fashion taste, you even had the same person type - something you found out late into the night.

At the end of the Side B of your album, Harry switched to a Bill Evans record that had ‘Peace Piece’ on it. You loved that song. So did he. “So...planning to raid my closet?” Harry raised his brows from the record player and walked back to you. You almost sputtered the water in your mouth. Luckily, you got it down. “Pardon?” “All that bad press the two of us have been getting...I watched the interview that kind of ignited the tabloids. You’re obviously not used to those overstepping personal questions.” You nodded. “It’s fine, even if you’d completely shut it down, the tabloids probably would have picked it up still, they snap up anything and everything, true or not.” You softened at his reassurance. You hadn’t expected Harry to bring the interview up, but you were sure he wasn’t happy about it, he was so private, especially about his love life. “Thanks, I’m sorry I tried to laugh it off, kind of made it worse, didn’t I?” “No! Thought it was hilarious and I totally appreciated the sentiment. Little ol’me, an icon? And an amazing artist? All I gotta do is watch that clip and I’ve fed my narcissistic side for the week!” You giggled and replied slyly, “So does that mean I can raid your closet? As compensation, of course.” Harry threw his head back in an all consuming laughter, when he’d composed himself he looked in your eyes again and said, “You just...God, you get me.”

Harry had continued to put records on throughout the night, diligently flipping sides and asking for requests, he of course had an extensive collection. The two of you had moved onto his plush couch that looked out his french doors to the beautiful ocean view. Finally, your exhaustion caught up to you, mid-Harry describing his latest travel fiasco, you glanced up at the clock. You gasped. Harry stopped. “When did it get to be half 12?” you questioned almost incredulously, “I’ve gotta get home, Harry, but this has been truly amazing, more than I could have asked for, so thank you.” Your speech began to rush as you started to get up and gather your things, that had slowly scattered as you’d gotten more comfortable, jacket by the table, shoes around the back of the couch, your phone forgotten somewhere in the couch. You couldn’t believe you’d spent almost seven hours just talking with Harry Styles.

Harry quickly stood up from his relaxed positioned on the couch and asked if you were alright to drive this late. You scoffed, “Oh please, I’ve driven around at 3 am before, I just have to turn up the music and I can cruise.” He smiled, “This was great, Y/N, I know we didn’t really go super in depth into your writing process, but I’d love to write with you sometime or just hang out again f’course. Your seriously talented and obviously a wonderful person.” He didn’t include that he felt like he’d never met anyone like you, never met someone so perfectly matched to himself, in passions but also in work ethic and demeanor - compassionate yet confident. He felt like you got him perfectly and he got you. You had stopped your scramble to gather yourself and now you were both smiling at one another.

This had really been an unforgettable night, you couldn’t believe how well you two had meshed, like childhood friends reconnecting after years apart. “Can I give yeh a hug before you go?” Harry’s voice had grown raspier as the night had progressed. He had grown rather tired an hour ago, but had pushed through because they had been having so much fun and you hadn’t noticed his physical fading or the time, obviously. You stepped toward him and his large tattooed arms enveloped you into his body. His body truly dwarfed yours now as he held you to his chest. You both were warm and soft. He tucked his head on top of yours that rested on his chest. Your arms were loosely resting where his back met his waist because you would have had to strain to get them to encircle him. His arms rested around your small frame. “Love your jacket,” he mumbled into your hair. His rough voice was quiet, but the house was silent otherwise, Tusk Side C had finished around when you had noticed the time. The embrace lasted long, but it felt so amazing you had a hard time pulling yourself away, but you had to get back home.

“G’night Harry” you said softly at the threshold of his home. He had insisted on walking you to the front door at least, since you had declined his offer to walk you out to your car on the street. “G’night. Safe travels.”

You got in your car and headed to your apartment in the city. You didn’t bother digging for your phone so you turned on the radio and drove home singing whatever came on, including your own song at one point. The whole time you drove with a grin. Harry was the nicest person you’d ever met and you were confident that the two of you were friends now. As you pulled into your parking garage it dawned on you why you hadn’t connected your phone immediately when you got in your car. “Stupid, stupid, stupid,” you put the car in park and rested your palms in the depressions of your eyesockets, over your closed eyelids, and rubbed hard. “Fuck!” It was far too late to drive back out to Malibu for your phone and you obviously couldn’t text Harry that you’d left your phone at his place, despite the two of you exchanging numbers during the night for future hang outs, so they didn’t have to be arranged through your managers, like playdates. Even if he found your phone between the cushions, he couldn’t drop it at your place in the morning because he didn’t know your address. This was a whole mess, you thought. You’d have to drive over in the morning and hope he was still there or email your manager from your computer. The former meant you got to see Harry sooner and likely your phone, too.

Happy Birthday to The Explosion Boy🥳🎉💥

🥳🎉- He definitely doesn’t want to admit it but, he enjoys the attention you and his friends give him (especially his private surprise from you).

🥳🎉- It’s cute how you wake him up early in the morning with his friends on the sides of your bed, Kaminari somehow having birthday dazzlers in his hands.

🥳🎉- “HOW THE FUCK DID THEY GET IN?” Bakugou stands up in all his glory, the way his body stretches out should be a sin (or that could just be because of how hard you’re staring.

🥳🎉- “tHrOuGh ThE fRoNt DoOr,” in hindsight, it’s probably wasn’t the best idea to invite his friends over so early but, you couldn’t help yourself.

🥳🎉- “Ignore him, Bakubro. Get ready so we can go workout,” Kirishima slams his fists together, smiling widely. “Gotta work up your birthday sweat.”

🥳🎉- Bakugou facepalms. All he wanted to do was relax and cuddle with you (this would be his first birthday with you) but, nooooooo. Instead, the extras had to ruin everything.

🥳🎉- Begrudgingly, he got up and slapped some clothes on, slamming doors so everyone could know he had an attitude which is exactly why everyone thinks he’s a Pomeranian.

🥳🎉- Kirishima, Sero, and Bakugou went for a morning run while you, Mina, and Jirou got to cooking for all the spicy foods you wanted to make for the birthday boy (Kaminari sat in a corner in timeout after he almost blew up your house from putting aluminum foil in the fridge).

🥳🎉- “I wannna helpppp,” you slapped Kaminari upside the head and told him to go set up something to watch on the t.v

🥳🎉- “Jirou, go with him. I don’t trust that fucker,” you could trust that she’d be responsible. “And, don’t let him seduce you. I swear to god, if I walk in there and see you naked, I’ll let Bakugou kill you both.”

🥳🎉- “It was one time!” One time too many in your opinion. You shivered from the memory...who knew Kaminari had a lighting bolt birthmark on his ass?

🥳🎉- Bakugou returned home with his boys, laughing at something one of them had said. He kissed you, wanting a full kiss but pouting when you broke it at a peck.

🥳🎉- “Go take a shower and get ready for dinner,” you gave him one last kiss before pushing him towards the stairs. “You two too. Y’all not gonna stink up my house and ruin my dinner with y’all nasty must.”

🥳🎉- “We’re not musty...it’s our natural essence,” Sero told you as he lifted his arm so the stench could waft towards you. Your eyes watered.

🥳🎉- “Please, get the fuck in some water before I have to disinfect the entire house,” they left laughing, Bakugou sneaking another kiss before they all ran off to go rinse off their sweat. You stayed with the girls and continued cooking some homemade spicy curry especially for him.

🥳🎉- Dinner was relatively pleasant with Bakugou complimenting your skills and you telling him that you weren’t the only one that cooked. Mina kept having to get a drink of milk every time she tried to eat some of Bakugou’s curry (even though you told her it was too hot but she didn’t think so)

🥳🎉- You brought a large, yellow cake to the dinning room so you could sing to him for his birthday. It had black writing and spelled out ‘Happy Birthday, Blasty Boy.’

🥳🎉- “Happy Birthday, dear Baki. Happy Birthday to you,” you wrapped your arms around his neck from behind and hugged him as you spoke. “I’m glad to be able to spend your birthday with you.”

🥳🎉- “It’s not so bad being here with you either. Thanks for coming, shitty extras,” you all smiled as he blew out his candles. “Deku wasn’t able to come?”

🥳🎉- “He had a really important mission. He told me to give you this though,” you hand a green wrapped present to your boyfriend. He rolls his eyes and tears into it, a scare smile crossing his face when he sees a picture book from his nerdy friend. You leaned over his shoulder to see the cover with him, Bakugou, and All Might linked in arms.

🥳🎉- “Let us see,” Kaminari reaches for it.

🥳🎉- “Keep those fucking digits to yourself before I kill you,” he goes off upstairs to put it away, leaving your friends to question you on what it was. You make a motion of you zipping your lips, sticking your tongue out at their pleading faces.

🥳🎉- “Everyone get your cake so we can go watch a movie,” you dive up the cake and lead them into the living room with you sitting on Bakugou’s lap, Jirou petting Kaminari’s head in her lap, and Kirishima, Sero, and Mina cuddles on the love seat.

🥳🎉- “Thank for today babe,” he whispers as you grab the remote to turn on whatever Jirou had picked.

🥳🎉- “No problem, baby. I’d do anything forrrr YOU SON OF A BITCH. JIROU, HOWWWW?!?!?” you point and gesture and whine at the t.v. Apparently, Kaminari convinced your friend of this.

🥳🎉- “What??? You never said it couldn’t be Hentai!!!”

Is Wei Wuxian your fave? Please do the meme with answers about Wei Wuxian. Thank you

[HELLO you sent me this like? weeks ago? I am answering it now!]

haha YES he IS! (Which is very convenient, that, when one’s favorite character is also the protagonist - it means that my priorities and the show’s tend to be pretty well in alignment.)

(and why are you asking me when you’re not even in this fandom! but I

[this is really RIDICULOUSLY long, btw.]

How I feel about this character

I love him so much OMG… I was just thinking, yesterday or maybe this morning, that it’s early to tell, y’know, but he might join my ~FAVORITES OF ALL TIME.~

He is just! Set up so well, (~it’s cheating,~ no, that was gonna be a post), he loses so fucking much (parents, foster family/home, newly created found family/home, beloved sister, #it’s complicated wrt beloved brother, um, magical ability (#it’s complicated), hm, DIES), and he also - gets? does? etc. so fucking much. He’s good at way too many things tbh, at fighting and playing the flute (it’s also a form of fighting, it’s a magical flute), at charming people and inventing ~NEW MAGICS~ and… pissing people off? that’s a skill lol? He takes up farming/gardening, cause he rescued a bunch of prisoners of war who need something to eat, (and he misses food from home); he takes up raising a very small boy (he says! miss me with saying he’s not!) as his own, because someone needed to, because he was one of those same prisoners of war.

He NEVER FUCKING STOPS, no matter what anyone thinks, no matter the cost. He’ll take a curse mark on himself or go into a dangerous trance or (any number of other things that happen in the plot) for someone he doesn’t know, or doesn’t like… just because he thinks he can, is a lot of it, and isn’t that fascinating. And because he can, he couldn’t not.

What I meant, though, re: ~the man is non-stop!~, is: he does it with a smile, a laugh, a joke. A bowl of wine and a delighted stroll through the woods, looking around at the leaves, or a stop at a stall selling snacks or cute ornaments. He’s always working, always thinking, always playing - and! these are the same thing! for him! Even though his play definitely can get more physical than anything else, there’s always still this alertness looking around for an unexpected trick. And the work he chooses to do, not the fighting, but invention and the studying to back it up, traveling and helping people with their monster/ghost/spirit problems… that’s play, for him, it’s fun. There’s always something new and interesting to see or find or learn or make.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

LAN WANGJI aka his canonical soulmate/boyfriend/husband/cultivation partner, the one who knows him!, my heart. Howwww… can I explain their connection? They love each other, of course, and probably more importantly, they get each other… they trust each other, they work so well together, they make each other so happy. That’s one of the things that I love, that although they’re both people who are highly liked and/or admired generally in their society on a superficial level, that they’re both fucking weird people? Wei Wuxian is charming and Lan Wangji is impeccably virtuous (and they’re both very talented), but when you get to know them, Wei Wuxian never fucking shuts the fuck up and Lan Wangji will barely say one single word… they’re both a lot to handle, in a number of different ways! But they. Just like each other, a lot.

And the trust between these two. Slays me. Wei Wuxian lets Lan Wangji hold a sword to his throat, cause he knows Lan Wangji will know if he’s ~gone too far.~ Lan Wangji defies his clan, his family, the whole cultivation world, for Wei Wuxian, because he knows, that Wei Wuxian is and was right. They pursue justice, goodness, together… they find it in each other.

People try to set up an opposition between ‘marry your best friend’ and ‘star crossed lovers’ high-drama types of scenarios? But these epic losers (she says with love) are both… there’s no reason why not, after all. And I love ‘em SO MUCH.

JIANG CHENG, who is is his foster brother. Usually I’m not one for incest? It only tends to be something I ship when a sibling bond between characters is broken, or twisted, … or fails to really exist in the case of Luke/Leia type scenarios. (I have never watched a Star War, but I did read Splinter of the Mind’s Eye, okay.) The relationship between Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng (and their sister, Jiang Yanli), very very much does exist, but… Jiang Cheng stabbed his sword into the rock of the cliff that Wei Wuxian was hanging off of, and yelled at him to go to hell. And Wei Wuxian finished yeeting himself off the cliff, and D I E D.

(it’s totally a romantic setup! what!?)

Anyway, they both really really love each other, they need to reconcile ASAP PLZ, and pairs of characters who both really really love each other but also have deeply conflicted and fucked up and sometimes even murdery intentions towards each other are extremely my jam. I want to smush them together! Mostly involving conversations, and extremely fraught invitations to visit, and small significant gestures. But also sometimes involving sex, because… why not.

SOMETIMES JIANG YANLI, though only in concert with Jiang Cheng as an OT3, because if Jiang Yanli’s still alive… you can’t have two of the three siblings together ~like that~ without a third. (So I guess this is the first exception that I’ve found so far to my usual pattern! Of only shipping incest when it’s already all fucked up. Jiang Cheng’s got enough fucked-up-ness for the all of them?). Anyway, I would like to thank the scene where Jiang Yanli shows Wei Wuxian her wedding dress for including the line from Jiang Cheng ‘you don’t think she’d marry you!?’ (to which I always say, it’s okay, Jiang Cheng, no one is leaving you out! how very dare you).

Together the two of them (Jiang Yanli and Wei Wuxian) are sweet and mutually supportive, and simply the delight of fucking even further with societal expectation and rumor is not going to get me shipping that. But as a threesome! Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian struggle with issues of insecurity, of jealousy, vis-a-vis family, and poor Yanli - she’s always trying to be enough for both of them, for everyone, and it must be very hard, … she reconciles the two of them, it’s a pattern, and they’re more united in thinking she deserves the world than they are in anything else. It can be fun to play with.

WEN NING!! Wei Wuxian walked away from his family and set his face against the cultivation world for Wen Ning, and Wen Qing, and their followers. He says he would’ve done it for anyone, but in fact he does it - the prison break, the dive all the way down into dark magic - for Wen Ning. He brings Wen Ning back to life. Which is a huge gift, but not necessarily one that Wen Ning would’ve accepted? But. He doesn’t get to be asked, he was dead.

And Wen Ning, in turn, is just ridiculously incredibly loyal to Wei Wuxian. It’s part of how Wei Wuxian brought him back to life, but - he’s the knife in Wei Wuxian’s hand. (That’s almost literally what his sister, Wen Qing, says). That sort of intimacy, being a human weapon, turning over your own volition, (not voluntarily! but Wen Ning’s okay with the fact that it’s a thing that happens!), to someone else, is… man, it’s a lot.

And there’s also the things Wen Ning does control: after Wei Wuxian comes back from the dead, (so they’re undead buddies! ;) in different ways), he follows Wei Wuxian everywhere he goes. Which causes some problems! One cannot have a zombie everywhere, with one, at all times. Even if he does save your life when you don’t expect needing it. … so, anyway, they both do these huge amounts of things for each other. They won’t give up on each other. They keep trying to take care of each other - Wei Wuxian gives Wen Ning his sword to wield. They never ever meant to depend on each other like this, but that’s what happened when they wouldn’t let go - and now they don’t need to, by the end of the story. But that story is A LOT, and I want them closer, and also to fuck with the controlling-the-undead angle ;).

XUE YANG! This is a never-ending list, lol. Anyway, if Jiang Cheng was the answer of ‘ship my two favorite characters,’ this is very much the answer of ‘ship the two characters that are hottest to me.’ ;). Anyway, I should point out that I don’t ship-ship them. Xue Yang’s a mass-murdering sociopath. And even if you can catch him in the plot before he goes all mass-murdery… Wei Wuxian would never love Xue Yang. (Never-minding the distinction between ‘love’ and ‘in love with,’ he definitely loves all the above.) But would Wei Wuxian fuck Xue Yang? Maybe! If you can set it up right.

(my current attempt stalled out with Xue Yang threatening to murder a small child in Wei Wuxian’s care, so… there’s no fucking in that case.)

Anyway. They’re very similar in some ways. They’re fearless, they really really hate boredom, they love to fuck around… just for fun. They’re both curious! When Xue Yang meets Wei Wuxian, for the first time, he asks him about the charm Wei Wuxian had invented that he’s fighting him with. While they’re fighting. (Which really strikes me as a very Wei Wuxian move.) Pity about the being evil thing, lol. But Xue Yang is a demonic cultivator who’s following on the magical paths that Wei Wuxian laid out… so a sorta teacher/disciple thing could be interesting. Again! If you could get around the killing people thing for just a second, before of course bringing it back in to smash everything down.

and that is, finally, all the major answers re: actively shipping, (really my main ships in this show are Wei Wuxian/almost everyone he significantly interacts with, and then I guess some other people who aren’t Wei Wuxian can also have some ships too?), but a few more quick answers I’d Definitely Read:

NIE HUAISANG in a friends-who-have-sex way back during their time in summer school together. You can’t tell me Lan Wangji thought that he wasn’t walking in on a Wei Wuxian/Jiang Cheng/Nie Huaisang orgy, that one time! You can’t tell me that Nie Huaisang lent Wei Wuxian gay porn book(s?) and never at least tittered about the idea! Their friendship at that point isn’t all that deep but… I think they both might very well find it a fun way to ~let off steam,~ or whatever, and I’d be into it.

WEN QING, even though I really like the fact that her friendship with Wei Wuxian is a hundred percent platonic (yes, it is, I’ll fight you). I love how they run the Burial Mounds together, I love the mutual sympathy and the mix of teasing and deadly seriousness in their dynamic, what I really want is SO MUCH MORE of just their friendship - and working-together partnership! - but, you see, I have a weakness, for friends who are not romantic! Just friends! But they fuck once or twice or in a while for fun, in between doing things that are more important.

(Also I particularly like when they’re exes who are better off as friends, in a modern AU? Idk somehow it just feels like a perfect fit for these two.)

… and I realize belatedly that the question asked ‘romantically’ and not ‘non-romantic fuck-buddies’ and therefore half of my answers don’t even apply, but whatever, I do what I want, and honestly for non-OTP-level ships I’m just as likely to ship them as fuckbuddies as I am romantically. So there, meme, I cannot be constrained.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

I COMPLETELY REFUSE TO CHOOSE: like, okay, fixing his relationship with his brother is the number-one most important thing to me about how canon ended. So I guess?? I’d have to say that?? YUNMENG SHUANGJIE (the Pride Twins of Yunmeng) 4EVER, sure, definitely. They both sacrificed everything for each other! More importantly, to me, I think both… of them, just really miss each other a lot. Jiang Cheng’s fucking furious at Wei Wuxian, and Wei Wuxian’s pretty much given up on making any sort of attempt to change that, but I love them both and want them both to have everything that they still can that they want in life, and that means each other.

But I also love Wei Wuxian’s friendship with Wen Ning! And his friendship with Wen Qing! So much!!! They are ALSO family, okay, they made a new home together (and then it died) ;___;.

And then!!! The way he relates to the kids! Is just so wonderful. I love how he tries to be the ‘cool uncle’ to Jin Ling, how he balances the side of ‘I was an obnoxious brat too at your age… and in fact I kinda still am!’ with being a very responsible and caretaking adult. I love the way that he gets down in the mud and plays with Sizhui as A-Yuan, being silly, and is also so thrilled and proud of Sizhui as an adult. So uh yeah these are all of my favorite things

My unpopular opinion about this character

Hmmm I’m not so sure what’s unpopular. (Besides a lot of my non-canon-OTP ship choices, but those aren’t really ‘opinions about the character.’ I don’t think he’s likely in near-canon-verses to be with anyone besides his husband, I just like stories where it can happen!).

I think I’ll say: I think he’s generally a pretty happy person. He hides suffering with smiles, certainly! That’s what he does! But even though he has lost a lot - and even though I think he feels guilt over some things, like his sister’s death, and his nephew’s being an orphan - he doesn’t tend to dwell, on either the sorrow or the guilt in his life. He is genuinely pretty okay... and finds ways to be okay, even happy, even in the worst parts of his life, day-to-day! Even in the Burial Mounds, for example, when he’s missing his family and his almost-not-quite-yet boyfriend, ... sometimes he drowns in the missing, yeah, but far more often he’s happy with the things and the people that he’s growing there.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

HE AND LAN WANGJI SHOULD HAVE KISSED??? That’s the most obvious and unarguable thing. They’re together, they’re so fucking together… on the steps of Carp Tower, in ep 42? Or maybe in the snowy night in the Jingshi, in ep 43, before the scene faded away (to black). (And presumably multiple times in the eps after that, but, eh, whatever). The only reason why this didn’t happen is censorship - though I do admit, I love all the post-canon get-together fics.

Also: HE SHOULD”VE STAYED AT CLOUD RECESSES??? With Lan Wangji??? Or Lan Wangji should’ve gone with him, to ~wander the world together,~ though personally I prefer the ‘Lan Wangji is Chief Cultivator’ ending. Anyway the fact that they separated is bullshit, (although, yes, I know all about that reunion implied in the last scene, but it’s not really satisfactory imo)… but, again, censorship. And, again, I love! All the post-canon fics where Wei Wuxian wanders around for some time before he finally ~comes back home~ to Lan Wangji.

Also also: if we’re talking about artistic decisions that weren’t cause of censorship: he and Jiang Cheng should’ve thawed just a little. Been just a little bit more hopeful. Towards each other, at the end of the show. Jiang Cheng wanting to say something, but not..? It was very ow, to me, it’s not a bad ow, but it needs to be remedied. Let Jiang Cheng find a way to be able to tell his brother he misses and still loves him, please.

gosh howwww does she look SO much like amrita? like, they cloned these damn kids, didn’t they? like straight up just CLONED them.

sara sounds like a smart kid.

lmao her little snort chuckles as saif tries to be diplomatic.

saif sounds like an exhausting man-child to deal with.

god this modern family question. pls we all already know that everyone is cool with it. why ainvayi trying to stir up drama?

“kareena aunty” lmao bitch just try

Friends to Lovers! Ong Seongwoo

Genre;; fluff + college au at the beginning,, and yeah obviously (best) friends to lovers

Warnings;; none i don’t think??

Pairing;; Ong Seongwoo x Reader

Requested;; yep! by anon here

Summary;; Seongwoo’s been your friend for a long time, but some pent up feelings might be revealed after a chance happening...

Style;; bullet point

Word Count;; 1322

masterlist • request rules • request something

HEY HEY HEY this reminds me of 4 weddings and a funeral dfjdshgjffjgh

you first met seongwoo at the beginning of college

you’d gone to a party with your new friends and,,, they’d all gone of to speak to other people so you were just on your own

that was until you spotted someone who was either very drunk or very weird over at the ping pong table, playing table tennis with someone who seemed totally sober in comparison

you kept a close eye on this,, strange guy

he was honestly terrible at table tennis

like... he’d serve and straight away it would be out

and you were just laughing at yourself until he did what you’d probably rank as the top most stupid thing in the world

he tried to serve

with his face

you couldn’t help but laugh out loud at his terrible attempt and well

he heard that laugh as much as you tried to hide

he put down his his ping pong bat and turned to look you right in the eye

you jumped a little because uh oh he realised

after about 10 seconds of being in shock you realise

he’s mouthing something

Come… and… versus… me… ?

well you weren’t about to turn down the challenge and he doesn’t seem very good so

you accept his challenge and start to walk over

as you get to the table, the friend he was playing with turns to you hand hands you his pbat, whispering in your ear as he passes you

“Watch out, Seongwoo’s actually pretty good”

before you knew it a ping pong ball was flying at you

so you just picked it up and chucked it back at Seongwoo

and a beautiful friendship was formed

after that day you spent almost all of your time with Seongwoo and Daniel, his original ping pong partner, and you pretty much forget about your original friends that ditched you lol

and you three are like… the three musketeers throughout the whole of college

even though sometimes you can’t help but cringe at Seongwoo

most of the time Daniel joins you in the cringe

you pull pranks on people and everything, all the way up until graduation

but something happened at your graduation

admittedly you were drunk, like most of the people there, including Seongwoo and Daniel

but come on y’all graduated despite calling each other dumb every 5 seconds

and you decided to play… spin the bottle,, seven minutes in heaven,, that sort of game as a group

and Seongwoo was obviously fixing it lmao

when it was Daniel’s turn to spin, he turned the bottle after it had stopped spinning so it would face his girlfriend

and before you knew it was your turn

as you span the bottle you thought about it,, who in this circle would you actually not mind kissing…

maybe it was you being drunk or maybe it was your true feelings

but something deep inside you hoped it landed on Seongwoo

well it didn’t

not at first, at least

it landed on some random person you’d never seen before that day

but at lightning speed, Seongwoo took ahold of the bottle and turned it to face him

“Ohhh!!! Y/n!!!! It’s me and you!!!~~”

you rolled your eyes and stood up, dragging him into the closet with you as you tried to ignore the blush rising on your cheeks

you closed the doors behind you and Seongwoo and turned to face him

as your eyes adjusted to the darkness of the closet, you noticed Seongwoo had a goofy smile on his face

“You don’t know howwww much I’ve wanted to do this!!”

okay just how drunk was this guy

as he leaned towards you, you relaxed and closed your eyes, waiting to feel his lips against yours

suddenly the doors swung open, and you opened your eyes to see someone you didn’t know looking right back at you

“Get out of the closet lovebirds, it’s our turn!”

Seongwoo frowned at this, grabbing your hand and pulling you out of the closet with him and the random dude and some other girl went in

“We didn’t even get 7 minutes…”

you laughed at Seongwoo’s comment but something was stirring in your heart

why were you totally okay with him kissing you ?? weren’t you just friends ?? what did he mean by how much he wanted to do this ?? what ?? what ?? what??

and well… let’s just say you don’t remember the rest of the night

the next day you three met up like normal and nothing was different between you and Seongwoo

you just assumed… he didn’t remember it i mean he was DRUNK

and it seemed Seongwoo never remembered

a couple years passed, and you three were still a force to be reckoned with

a bit less pranking thought lmao no pranks in the workplace

but the ,, graduation party,, was never brought up between you two

Daniel had asked you a couple of times about what actually happened in the closet,, and of course you told him the truth

but the longer it stayed unresolved

the more your feelings for Seongwoo were growing

suddenly every stupid and dumb thing he did was slightly more endearing

his goofy smile made you blush just a little

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah okay whatever you loved Seongwoo

but you had to ignore your feelings for a bit because

DANIEL WAS GETTING MARRIED

yes to his college girlfriend and yes it was cute

but ,, they’d picked you as head bridesmaid and Seongwoo as best man which well

meant you had to spend all your time with Seongwoo trying to a) ignore how good he looked in a suit and b) ignore your grOWING CRUSH

the wedding day came almost too soon, the ceremony went by as quick as hell and well

it was time for the reception

you went around and greeted all the members of family and distant friends

all with Seongwoo by your side

as you reached the table with your friends from college one of them who… had obviously had a bit too much champagne already… called out at you two

“Oi!!! Have you two got together yet??!! I had $100 on it during college!!”

you blushed at the comment but gave the friend a death stare

but Seongwoo just tapped your shoulder so you’d look up at him

and then he wINKED AT YOU

ok calm your heart

you went back to take your seats at the head table as Daniel and his bride went to have the first dance

honestly you hoped the song was long as hell because

… after the first dance comes the bouquet throw

Daniel had pretty much forced you to agree to taking part in it because well

during the planning you adamantly said you did not want any part of this because a) you’re single and b) you’re single and c) youre sINGLE

like who would you even marry

Daniel just smirked and winked at your comment and forced you into it

so here you were

standing in a crowd of various people

some you’d met ages ago

some you’d only just met 3 minutes ago

Daniel winked at you as the bride turned around and started to throw the bouquet

you squeezed your eyes shut as it flew through the air, trying to,, well,, deliberately not catch it

but a disappointed sigh chorusing from the crowd and a hushed ‘why is he here??’ made you open your eyes

at your side stood Seongwoo, the bouquet in his hand

you turned to face each other and he smiled widely at you, taking your hand with his free one

“I’m not going to ask you to marry me, don’t worry. Buuut~”

“Hurry it up Seongwoo”

“We never managed to kiss that one time did we? So how about we do it now? And while we’re at it, let’s date!”

as his lips approached yours, you could’ve sworn you heard a scream of ‘you owe me $100!’

of course i had to add ongniel

#ong seongwoo #wanna one imagines #wannaone imagines #wanna one scenarios #seongwoo #produce 101 imagines #produce 101 scenarios #p101 #au

Steam/PC: The Charming Empire Review

He’s a cutie <3

Final Grade: D+/C- TL;DR: Not great. OST was very mediocre. A little above average visuals. Storytelling was terrible. Voice Acting (VA) was the only saving grace for this game. UI is terrible/no improvement from the mobile version. Characters were great but development was non-existent in many of the routes. Couldn’t stomach the game to play through everyone’s Good ending…I just did Happy Endings which were still just mediocre ends.

Route Order I followed: Yoshimine, Togawa, Tanba, Sera, Soshi.

Route Order I recommend: Yoshimine, Tanba, Sera, Togawa, Soshi Though it honestly doesn’t matter since none of the storylines are that closely related anyways….I’d say Soshi for the beginning or end since his has the most “answers” in it. His route is pretty painful to save for last though….

Here are the route reviews: Ratings for the routes in this game will be actually higher than expected. I'm not saying these are "good" routes but the overall game is pretty kusoge (shit-game) so I'm rating them based on the low standards the overall game has set already. That being said, if you're use to fully fleshed out otome games, which I'm spoiled with...since I tend to play console based ones and not mobile based games, this game is pretty garbage. However, if you just want some light fluffy writing with tolerable visuals and a simple UI, this game is perfect. I originally played this game cause Tsuda Kenjiro VAs onii-chan... but holy shit after the first route I wasn't sure if I could make it through all the routes.

Luckily all the routes are pretty short....thank god. I didn't bother with the Normal ends cause the lackluster CGs with the shitty auto mode really made me want to kill myself while playing. Without further ado.. Here are the individual route reviews. Each written after completing the Good end.

Yoshimine 6/10

Angry Tsundere Shota >_> Uhhh def not my type. So I chose this to be my first route cause I saw the character pictures and this looked like no.1 not my type I tend to play the routes I don't think I'll like first then end with the best. He's an okay tsun-shota type. He def has some cute moments but it was really hard to get into his character since the kusoge didnt really give him good character development His idle sprite also looks really awkward too so that didn't help. Overall his VA really made up for the shitty character writing he had and semi brought his character to life. Oh yeah... the plot "twist" at the end...was so obvious.... holy shit.

Wtf is this idle..... something looks off....

Togawa 7/10

Okay... from what I see so far... this game is mainly a setup for the Soshi route at the end... I'm kinda okay with this. This route was sweet due to the bachelor being such a sweet cinnamon roll. Luckily his sprite wasn't as awkward to look at. His CGs were pretty weak as well. I think there was like 1 good CG. Augghh this kusoge with the shitty character development. I'm glad this character had some "history" with the MC though that made the lack of character development better. There were some interesting translation differences IDK were meant to be in there like switching black tea to just Earl Grey tea.

Tanba 8/10

So I really like Tanba Toki's design and the fact that his VA is also Prompto from FFXV's VA is even better.The VA suits him really well and his character development is on point. There was some questionable OST choices for certain scenes... there was "happy" music when you were helping the rebels... like whhaatt? THEN THE MAIN THING THAT MADE ME UPSET. NO CG FOR THE CONFESSION PART HOLY SHIT IM SO PISSED. THIS GAME IS KUSOGE WTH D: Then after the confession scene theres an awkward Kiss CG which look sssoooo weirrdd >_>

Overall though, this is my favorite route so far. He had the best writing so far. I think the fact that the MC doesn't get to be with him all the time really helps. There was def. slight character development written in for both the MC and Tanba. The trend of setting up for Soshi is still very prominent in this route...anddd still no connection to any other characters expect for Soshi. I really hope Soshi's route is good to make up for all the rest of these mediocre to shitty routes. (Spoiler…it didn’t) Sera's route next.

Sera 7/10

Alright, I'd be lying if I was going to say that I didn't enjoy this route. ITS STILL A TERRIBLE FUCKING ROUTE. Writing is very mediocre and storyline/development is downright garbage. BUT I fucking love Sera's character trope. Stoic quiet big guy who's actually a fucking cinnamon roll inside. He also holds the knight card as in he must protecc. Seriously, if he had glasses he would be perfect for me. HOWEVER, the VAing in the beginning was a little forced. I think Takuya (the VA) was trying to force himself to have a deeper voice at times and it didn't sound good. Then there was the sprite of Sera... wtf is this hand shit going on his idle sprite?!??

Besides that shitty idle hand...I love his character design. A LOT of the scenes (including the ending) were not satisfying at all....they could've done so much more with his scenes. The sewing scene pissed me off the most....WTF IS THAT "he said thanks" end scene. The best part of this route is that Kagamitsu Togawa actually exists in this and Yoshimine Kei is hinted at...finaaaalllly other characters being shown. I'm also glad of Soshi's end in this route compared to others. Lots of good but lots of bad in this route.... Soshi for last bois.

Soshi 6/10

I'm. so. sad. I was super hyped for this last route cause there Soshi was the only route that was hinted at in ALL the other routes. This route was a whole lot of disappointment though :( In fact... Togawa was kinda the only saving grace of this route. Arrgggh I tried so hard to like this route I really did but the story telling was soooo bad. I mean after playing the other routes you kinda are just waiting for the "twist" that was shown before...so the precursor to it is literally like WHY?! WHY YOU GOTTA BE LIKE THAT SOSHI KUN?!Also there was some fucking weird ass development or something messed up in the translation.... WHERE THE FUCK DID THE TEA PART COME FROM!? DID I MISS SOMETHING!?!?!AS IN (Spoiler alert)

WHY THE FUCK DID SHE TRY TO KILL HIM?! I'm sorry this is the only major spoiler I had to mention cause I was so confused when it happened. Then the writing got even weirder when the "Happy end" scene played where she literally started to call him "Onii-chan" and she's been calling him Soshi the whole time.... even Soji at some point IDK why....top of that...why the fuck was Soshi allowed to do what he was allowed to do at the end like no you were still the ruler howwww?....This route was just full of weird plot holes and shit that just didn't make sense. Since the route was very shitty to begin with the CGs were equally lackluster. Boring scenes got boring CGs except for the last CG but by then I was just so sad and done with the game. Tsuda Kenjiro's VAing talents were wasted on this kusoge and kuso-chara.

The Pros:

Artstyle/Character Designs- I really enjoyed a lot of the Character Designs. In fact it was the VAing and Character designs that made me eventually pick up this game. The art is vibrant is really nice to look at. Sadly some of the CGs weren’t the best of quality and some sprites could be improved. However, overall the art is very pleasant and well suited for the time period it is set in.

OST- OST was decent too. For a mobile game that ported to PC. I was decently surprised that even after trudging through so many routes the OST didn’t get annoying or repetitive. Granted there were some questionable timing on when to play certain tracks but the songs themselves were still pretty good.

VAing- So many good voice actors involved in this game. Tsuda Kenjiro is literally my favorite VA and they had the voice of Prompto too? Man good shit. The VAing did not disappoint. They def. made the game 100x better. If this game didn’t have VAing I would’ve been so sad and I don’t think I could’ve played through it all.

The Cons:

UI/UI Functionality- My BIGGEST GRIPE about this game. I get it shitty story/development, budget art, etc. BUT WHEN YOU CANT EVEN GET YOUR UI TO FUNCTION/LOOK GOOD?! COME ON! The UI is directly a port from the mobile game so it looks clunky and jenky. Not only that Auto doesn’t work as auto normally does in otoges. It acts more of a skip button which was SO FRUSTRATING. I sometimes multitask when I play otome games like check my phone/send messages to people, so I love having it on auto especially with VAing. Additionally I don’t know if it was only a bug on my game but my settings would NEVER save when I would start a new route… holy that pissed me off.

Development of Characters- Do I even have to touch on this? There was little to no development of the bachelors at all… Most of their characters were just thrown together and you were to just nod your head at some of their “developments” as in they would say “I’m partially a cat” and your character would go “Oh cool”. End of story sequence. I wanted to just punch the screen sometimes…

Tasteless CGS- Artstyle==cool. CGs==terrible. The CGs were at really weird timing and sometimes I wished there was a certain CG at a certain time but there wasn’t. I don’t know if its because there wasn’t enough memory to put in CGs for the mobile release or what not, but regardless the game did not have CGs at good times. Leading the CGs to be at awkward moments, except for the “core” CGS aka the “meeting” CGs and the “ending” CGs.

Main Character- She’s weak willed and not a fun character to follow. She just takes things as is, except maybe in Tanba’s route. I hated “being” her… I wanted to make choices at times when the games doesn’t give you a choice.

Bottom Line:

This game is just pretty garbage. I just want to move on my life and pretend that Tsuda Kenjiro wasn’t VAing in this game. If you’re thinking of buying this game..buy it on sale…like 50% or more sale or some shit. The routes are short and not fun to play through. There are def. better choices of otome games out there for PC. Of course not a lot of them are voiced by cool Japanese voice actors but this one is pretty shitty you might as well pass. I would highly recommend Nightshade on Steam or if you’re looking for something more comedy-esque and risqué… Fashioning Little Miss Lonesome. For good artstyle I’ve heard good things about OZ-Mafia too. Or just save your money up for a PSTV for those sweet sweet PSVITA games. ;)
