just thought of a funny little fic idea
so, say we have an oc. (for practicality, let’s call her chantrea for now.)
chantrea is a fan of the death note franchise, and spends much of her time making up headcanons, writing up theories, and daydreaming fix-it fics. one day, she is involved in an accident that takes her life while she’s on her way to school/work/whatever.
the next thing she knows, she’s waking up in light’s bedroom.
and for a second, she fears that she may be having another one of those kinds of dreams, only to realize that these aren’t her hands. why are they lighter than she’s used to??? she’s suddenly way taller than she used to be. and sachiko’s voice comes floating up from the stairs, “light, if you don’t get up, you’re going to be late!”
and that’s when she realizes, fucking shit, she got isekai’d and was reincarnated into light yagami’s body.
so, when the time inevitably arrives for the death note to fall to the human realm, heart pounding, she quickly snatches up the death note, runs home, and locks herself in her —light’s— her room. well shit, she thinks. what do i do now?
blah blah blah, what she does next with the death note and ryuk depends on what team she’s on. however, i do think she’d try and fix light’s —her?— relationship with her family, maybe even unconsciously?? i imagine chantrea is someone who is pretty headstrong and easy to read, and she continues being so even tho she’s living light’s life now. (it’s hers now, afterall.) and ofc, her entire family notices. for example:
she quits going to cram school, bc like fuck that, honestly. (sachiko is a little surprised, but it’s not like light’s ever really needed it. she suspects it was mostly for appearance. still, “are you sure? entrance exams are coming up soon. didn’t you want to get into to-oh?” chantrea, thinking: absolutely not!!!! takada’s there!!!! (she was never good at school anyways) (out loud: uh, iiii changed my mind!!!!))
sayu notices immediately, “light, you seem a little happier lately. did smth good happen?” “nah,” chantrea pulls sayu in for a hug, “i’m just glad to have such a cute and wonderful sister!!” (chantrea has never had a younger sister before)
soichiro brings up light’s dropping out of cram school during dinner. like sachiko, he only seems curious, but not very nervous or angered by the decision. chantrea doesn’t really know what to make of soichiro. he just seems tired all the time, and she feels kinda bad for him. “it seems as though you’re changing a lot of your plans. did something happen?” “no, i, uh, just decided. i don’t really want to join the police force anymore.” TOTAL SHOCK ACROSS THE TABLE “i-i see,” says soichiro. “then what- what *ahem* what do you think you’ll study instead?” “i don’t really know yet! i mean, college is the time for self-discovery, isn’t it?” (chantrea never went to college in her last life, so she’s just basing this off of what she’s heard on tv) *sachiko and soichiro share a Parent Conference Look across the table* “are you sure this is a good—” “hmm, maybe i’ll pick up tennis again?” (<- she stopped listening)
anyways, so she has the death note and ryuk comes to visit her, and ryuk notices immediately that chantrea’s and light’s names keep flickering and fighting over the space above her head. he starts laughing, “so, how’d you steal his entire body, little missy?”
and, armed with nothing but the death note and her extensive knowledge on the franchise, the rest of the series is just her trying to survive the plot and like. not die at age 23 like light does in canon. (she wants to live for a long time bc she didn’t get to in her last life!!!!!) but whether or not this includes meeting the rest of the cast is unknown, and probably depends on her actions with the death note!!! (although ofc fate has a strange way of pulling ppl together, whether or not they like it...)
after some point tho, if she decides to not become kira again and changes the entire genre of the franchise, she starts to notice... smth weird happening. without its main driving factor (kira and the death note) the world begins to deteriorate, and chantrea needs to figure out how to put a stop to it before everyone and everything she has come to love —her second chance at life— disappears completely.
also: if she’s in light’s body... then what happened to light?
#hehe get it#bc chantrea means ‘moon’ in khmer?????#anyways#unashamedly stole this idea from ‘my next life as a villainess: all routes lead to doom!’#which is why chantrea comes off as so airheaded#put more asean women in media you cowards#i would write more but most of death note canon flies completely over my head#still this idea greatly amused me#north stars and highlights#chantrea doesn’t think about romance or gender bc i don’t think about romance or gender HAHA#but that’s definitely smth that could be played with/discussed if someone wanted to take the fic there#she does however get extremely heated when discussing imperialism <3

do you have any web kdrama recs? I'll do a trade and recommend Banana Actually- the whole series is 20 minutes long (at most) very good, digestible, and has some ~good~ kiss scenes.
i’ll check it out!! i do have lots of webdrama recs hehe ^^ i recommended most of them yesterday but here is a larger list of only webdramas !! it’s kinda long, so i put a keep reading !!
like- a korean webdrama that you can find on youtube starring kim yu an, kim kangmin (maybe, maybe not), yoo jungwoo (love after school), and seo ji hye- about a group of students who create a film club to make youtube videos and the dumb shit they get into, plus there’s some romance, betrayal, and fuckboys.- so so so so cute honestly. the dynamic between the characters of the club is so cute and funny, plus the love triangle has me wheezing. also the asshole fuckboy gets what he deserves which is super satisfying. it hasn’t finished airing yet, but so far it’s really cute
failing in love- korean webdrama you can find on youtube starring son sang yeon (triple fling), yang hye ji, and shin yoon seop- about a group of high schoolers who deal with falling in love, crushes, rejection, etc.- ok so the summary i gave was pretty vague but that’s because any more and i’d be exposing the whole plot. there is humor and fluff but also teenage angst, and the characters are all more complex than they first appear. i would highly recommend this show !!!
want more 19- a short webdrama you can find on youtube starring jung ha joon, sin gi hwan, jeon yoo rim, nam yoon soo, and lee jungha- a story of 5 friends in high school. A mutual crush, a one-sided love, and a rough patch for sweethearts, all taking place right around the end their senior year- OH GOD i can’t breathe this drama is so cute. it had me squealing every single episode, and it’s very lighthearted with hardly any angst
triple fling (s1)- a short choose-your-own-ending korean webdrama on youtube starring jung bomin, son sangyeon (failing in love), themanblk’s jeongyou, and themanblk’s eom sewoong- lee sehee accidentally becomes friends with the three most popular boys in school and ends up in a love square with them- alright im whipped for stuff like this so naturally i loved it. i also really liked how viewers could choose their own ending as for which boy she chose. there is a second season that i haven’t seen yet that focuses on another girl in ANOTHER love square (containing one of the guys from sehee’s love square) in which it shows which boy she actually did choose (and it was my favorite so . yay!)
when you love yourself (s1)- a short webdrama you can find on youtube starring jung mingyu (sweet revenge 2) and saet byeol .- about a girl who is heavier than her classmates who struggles with self-love and self-acceptance, and along the way finds love- god. i can’t even explain how much i loved this drama. the message is wonderful and there’s no moment where she glows up and loses weight and then gets the guy’s attention or anything: he simply loves her as who she is, no matter what weight she is, and is supportive. there’s also an episode that focuses on the queen bee girl who also struggles with weight and self-love and it’s just beautiful
my woofy poofy love / my dog-like dating- a short korean webdrama you can find on youtube starring chae ji an and kim do hoon (your imagination becomes reality)- a girl who has recently been cruelly dumped by her boyfriend brings a stray dog back to her home and wakes up to find that instead of a dog, there is a man! she happens to be looking for a roommate, and so this man (who can turn into a dog) becomes her new housemate- literally adorable. female lead is stunning and the relationship is so cute and fluffy and innocent, but the kiss is steamy as hell.
ok to be sensitive (s1)- a webdrama you can find on youtube starring kim da ye and kim youngdae (extraordinary you) and others im too lazy to put- focuses on feminist issues like sexism and sexual harassment in a college setting, which each episode focusing on one particular incident and the characters dealing with it- listen so like . this show had me emotional at some points bc of how amazing the message was. it dealt with sexual harassment, sexism, how females are expected to act, stalking, pressure to have sex… etc and basically every episode was like . you can stand up for yourself. you don’t have to “take it” just bc you’re a female, etc. also there was really cute romance uwu
ok to be sensitive (s2)- season 2 of otbs, also can be found on youtube, starring yoo hye in and lee shin young, as well as others but again im too lazy to list them all- same thing as season 1, but a different cast of main characters, and set in an office workplace. (original cast makes a cameo at the end)- the issues in season 2 were definitely a bit darker because it was set in a work place, where the main characters were worried about getting fired if they stood up for themselves, but the way things were handled was really admirable imo. also the male lead in this one is ABSOLUTELY adorable
go back diary- a 4 episode webdrama you can find on youtube starring kim ye ji and lee jong won (jaemin’s webdrama how to hate you)- about a boy who sees a girl at a karaoke bar (?) and instantly develops a crush on her. she then transfers to his school, and it tells the story of their love story after 10 years.- i’ll just say it right now. the whole drama was adorable except for the ending, which fucking sucked. literally was horrible. boycott episode 4 pls i was SO UPSET. otherwise, great webdrama
love after school (s1)- korean webdrama that can be found on youtube starring park so eun and yoo jungwoo (like)- about a couple who fell in love in high school and their story, told from 5 years later when they meet again- i love love love this bitch. LOVE. season 2 … we won’t speak of her lol. but season 1 is super cute and the ???? kiss at the end(ish)??? DEAD. literally anything with yoo jungwoo will destroy me but omg. it was fantastic
maybe, maybe not- a webdrama starring kim kangmin (like) and gong yoorim- a girl who can read minds and is an outside bc she knows what everyone is really thinking meets a guy that she can’t read the mind of- so fluffy. so cute. oh god. pls watch it’s so soft and cute
what to do with you- a korean webdrama - that is actually literally an ad for a facemask - starring lee hayoung and kim youngdae (extraordinary you)- saerom and geun are friends, but it feels like they’re something more. will they ever take the next step?- yeah this webdrama is super cute and that’s really all lol. also the bitchy girl in love after school is the best friend in this one oho
your imagination becomes reality- a webdrama that can be found on youtube starring oh se young, kim dohoon (my woofy poofy love), and jin ho eun- soram has a crush on a mysterious upperclassman, and wishes to see him again: she does, soon after. each time she makes a wish, it seems to magically come true. - yeah so like . it’s not a supernatural thing or anything, it’s just a cute college romance that’s basically every girl with a crush’s dream lol~!
crushes reverse- webdrama on youtube starring kim shi eun (miss independant jieun s2) and jung hyojun- yoo somi has a huge crush on her older sister’s longtime boyfriend, and her best friend at school happens to be his younger brother- i find the beginning hard to watch bc of the second hand embarrassment i feel when i do watch it but . it has a super cute ending and the main girl reminds me of shin hye sun so much it’s wack
how to hate you- webdrama starring nct’s jaemin, jim ji in (extraordinary you), lee jongwon (go back diary), and kim yoojin- oh miri meets her ideal type while working as a part-timer, but right before she’s about to confess, she realizes that he is her best friend’s mystery boyfriend. she asks han daekang, her new friend, to pretend to be her boyfriend for the time being. - the summary i gave was terrible but ITS RLY CUTE . also the main girl in this plays dan oh’s best friend / juda’s bully in extraordinary you and THE CHARACTERS ARE SO INCREDIBLY DIFFERENT DUDE . Legend. anyways its a bit cliche and we dont get any actual lip on lip action but its still cute lol
have a nice dessert! / drunk in good taste- drama special / webdrama starring kim hyanggi (sweet revenge 1; moment at 18) and kim mingyu (just between lovers ((as the crippled best friend’s anti fan turned romantic interest)))- chongnam loves desserts, and even has an instagram dedicated to taking photos of various deserts she eats. when her college life starts, she mistakes a classmate as an upperclassman, only to find out they’re the same age, and they become friends- listen . this shit was adorable. as when every single kim hyanggi drama, the kisses are cardboard flat and terrible but ! BUT ! the couple is super cute
a-teen (s1 & s2)- 2 season webdrama starring april’s naeun, shin yeeun (he is psychometric), shin seungho, kim donghee, kim soohyun, and ryu euihyun- about a group of friends who go through various troubles and grow closer as a group, as well as fall in love- ok so ... technically i haven’t even finished season 1 yet but !!! i know it’s a good show bc i did watch a lot of it !! plus in s1 episode 20 at 10:35 there’s a nomin cameo LOL SJKFSD there’s also a webdrama called “the guilty secret” i haven’t watched yet starring victon’s subin and others that is set at the same school as a-teen 1 and 2 and features the original cast in cameos !!
i have 3 boyfriends / boyfri3nds- short webdrama you can find on youtube starring kim ji eun, park sungwoo (produce 101 season 2 [that 30 year old dude who danced to rain’s song OMG], moon jihoo, and lee jungsik- when la hi gets in a car accident and wakes up with amnesia she finds that she has 3 men all claiming to be her boyfriend.- OK LISTEN . this show is so funny and cute. let me just say: you MUST watch to the end. that’s all i’ll say. pLS WATCH
lily fever- a short webdrama starring kim hyeyoon (just between lovers) and jung yeonjoo (witch’s romance)- kyungju needs her passport back, which her ex boyfriend has, but it turns out he left it at a friend’s place. when she arrives, the friend is leaving but says she can go inside: just be mindful of the houseguest inside...- yeah this is lesbian as fuck . it has like . hardly any plot, has a shit ton of crackheadery, and lots of STEAMY AS FUCK kisses. it literally makes like no sense though skdfksjd but if ur in the mood for some easy to watch girl pairing stuff, this is it my dude !

RoyEd Week 2k19 Day 3
Title: Seven(?) Days
Rating: T+
Relationships: Roy Mustang/ Edward Elric
Chapter: Day 3- (Fantasy AU)
Cross- Posted on AO3 and Fanfic.net
links- Fanfic.net AO3
Best quality reading will be through the links, not on Tumblr itself because I’m too lazy to do italics and shit right now. For @royedweek2019 ‘s RoyEd Week!
pasted late bc I have other work to do oops!!
-------------------------------------------
Roy had never seen the Great Hall so beautifully decorated; it was hard to tell where the school hall ended, and wintry palace began- the decorations were so wonderfully chosen! As he spun around with his dance partner, his long-time best friend Riza, the two other Triwizard Champions and their dates twirling similarly, Roy both admired the wonderful mix of glamour and dance and wished he wasn't dancing at the moment.
At least, he wished he was dancing with a different blonde, although Riza was definitely a close second choice. In fact, if he weren't required to take the first dance as a Champion, Roy probably would have shirked it off to go find Ed the moment he realized that his boyfriend's distinctive hair was nowhere to be seen in the crowd.
Over the snickers and awes of the crowd, supposedly assuming that Riza and Roy were something more than childhood friends, the blonde woman must have heard Roy's faint sigh, for she sighed as well and discreetly stomped on his foot as they changed direction, "Can you pretend for five seconds that you actually want to dance with me? I know it means nothing to you, but I tortured myself with wearing this monstrosity just because we're the center of attention."
Despite her disdain towards it, Riza looked quite stunning in her pale blue dressing gown, and Roy had just enough self-preservation to point it out before responding quietly, "It's not dancing with you that upsets me and you know it."
He knew that, even though he was half-assing it at best, they were still by far the best dancers out there, as years of ballroom dancing classes together would not be proven futile by their muggle parents.
Roy remembered the both of them receiving their Hogwarts letters and thinking it a big joke until two owls stampeded them in the park, and they looked at each other with such excitement that their parents knew their lives would never be quite normal again. His muggle mother had been at the school until recently, given a brief let-in to watch her only son compete in the dangerous Triwizard Tournament. Having never seen her son use magic before, it was a very… interesting time for her to watch him wave a stick at a whole-ass dragon and manage to stupefy it to unconsciousness (he chose to ignore his currently sprained and splinted wrist, and the several bandages that scratched against his shoulder and chest).
Back in the present, Riza rolled her eyes, "After this dance, you can go find him, I'm not stopping you. I think Jean's called dibbs on my next dance, anyways.
Roy smiled at the girl gratefully, and picked up the dance, noticing they were worryingly close falling out of step with the tempo of the spritely violins. After a few more laps around the dancefloor, the music finally died down to silence, and the audience clapped lightly, more eager to join in than pay mind to the current dancers.
Bidding Riza good luck with Jean, Roy quickly wove his way through the crowd, keeping an eye out for Ed. He found, instead, Al dragging a less-than-willing Winry out to the floor. The younger boy stopped when he saw Roy, and Winry sighed in relief.
"Roy, you and Riza danced so well!" He chirped.
"Thanks, Al. Hey, do you know where your brother is hiding? I haven't seen him around." Roy asked.
Al giggled, "Check around the food. He's probably afraid you'll ask him to dance."
"Well then, he's got a right to be afraid. Have fun out there." He turned from the betrayed look Winry cast him and started for the tables piled high with food. Ed's brother and closest friend (as well as Riza and Maes, of course) were practically the only ones who knew of his and Ed's relationship. Roy had no problem with making them public, but Ed had expressed his concerns enough for the other to hold off from straight-up snogging him in the halls. The blonde, for all his vivaciousness, was terribly shy about showing public affections, and didn't know how his fellow housemates would take his dating a boy- a Gryffindor boy at that!
Ed was nowhere to be found around the food, and Roy furrowed his brow in contemplation. He did see Lust, a fellow Slytherin classmate of Ed's, and decided to test his luck.
"Lust!" He called, and the aforementioned looked at him boredly.
"Mustang, what do you want?"
"Have you seen Elric anywhere?"
"The sweet one or the obnoxious one?" She quirked an eyebrow.
"The one you share a house with." Roy gave in a dead-pan, and Lust's unamused eye-roll did little to help him believe she would actually tell him.
"Well if you need to know, Envy said that he saw Ed on the staircase to the left of the Hall entrance reading.
Roy nodded, "Thanks, I guess." Lust shrugged and walked away.
Roy, thinking ahead, piled two plates with pastries and made his way out of the hall and to the left. He quickly found his boyfriend sitting on the second step, a book rested lightly between his bent knees. He looked up when Roy sat beside him, their legs bumping.
Roy handed over Ed's plate, which he took gratefully, "What're you doing out here? Already abandoned poor Riza to fend with Havoc on the dancefloor?"
The Gryffindor responded as Ed took a large bite of a particularly flaky little pastry the Beauxbatons cooks had prepared, "Riza quit on me. Said I was 'too distracted looking for you' to dance right."
Ed shrugged, "You know I don't like dances, shoulda guessed I wouldn't be in the ballroom."
Roy smiled lopsidedly, "Not even to watch me dance? I looked amazing out there; Al said so!"
Ed snorted, "First of all, watch your ego. Second, Al would tell the worst dancer out there they were great. Dances are just dumb, is all. Shouldn't just having the stupid tournament be enough celebration of inter-school comradery or whatever shit they're promoting?"
"I think it's sweet." Roy commented, not very forcefully. They'd had this same conversation hundreds of times, it seemed, "Either way, if you didn't want to be here so bad, why not just go up to your common room? I'm sure even the dungeons are more comfortable than these stairs."
"The Slytherin common rooms aren't just dungeons, I'll have you know!" Ed retorted, flicking a pastry he was holding slightly at Roy for emphasis, "They're actually very nice, it sucks you don't get to see 'em. I'm here because I didn't get to see you much after the challenge 'cuz of all the press commotion and shit." Ed frowned slightly.
The dragon challenge had been the day before, the three schools deciding that the dance and challenge should follow each other closely to 'lighten the mood' after such a frightening task. True to Ed's words, Roy had been swept away by several Prophet reporters following his close win (after his more serious wounds were treated first, of course). He'd been tired, bloody, and sore all over, so by the time they were done pestering him, Roy had barely the energy to fend off his mother's crushing hugs and frantic words. He had walked her back to the portkey once she was satisfied that he was safe until the next challenge, and from there went straight to his dormitory to sleep, Riza breaking the sea of students for him. The next morning, he had been wholly unamused to find his miserable face headlining the reports of the tournament.
He bit into his food, keeping a smile on his face in spite of Ed's fouled expression, "Well, you can see me all you want right now."
Contrary to Roy's intentions, Ed's face darkened further, "Until the next challenge."
"Ed, What's really the matter?" His proffered hand stung when Ed swatted it away, twisting in such a way to disturb several sore spots.
The Slytherin caught the other's wince, "THIS is the matter, Roy! Look at you, it's like you've been through a goddamn warzone or something! They carted you off the arena; I had to sit through two other dragon-themed ass-whoopings before I even knew you weren't dead. Your mom was in hysterics!"
Roy sighed, "Believe me, I know. I got her earful yesterday."
"At least she got to go down and see you immediately. I've barely seen you since Charms this afternoon, and that was the first time today!"
"So, you've been worried this whole time?"
Ed looked bewildered, "Of course I've been worried this whole time! I fucking lo… li… uh, care about you, you complete asshole!"
Roy, setting his plate aside, took Ed's plate quickly and ensconced the other boy in a tight hug, feeling the tension in the blonde's body coiled up in his shoulders. He relaxed a little in the Gryffindor's hold, huffing out a frustrated breath. When Roy felt a pair of hands gently wrap around his waist, he said, "I'm sorry I made you worry. If it's any consolation, I tried to find you after the challenge and at our meals today. I was too exhausted to really think yesterday, but when I looked today I didn't see you anywhere."
He could feel Ed rolling his eyes in his shoulder, and a second later he heard a muffled, "Had extra credit work in a few classes."
He hummed in response, and they stayed in their embrace for a while. Roy could feel Ed relax the longer he sat against the other, as if the constant assurance that Roy was there made his anxiety lessen. This said, it surprised Roy that Ed was the first to break the hug, standing up at the bottom step with a hand extended.
At the Gryffindor's confused look, Ed blushed, "Well, affection is sort of your thing, so I guess it wouldn't hurt me to dance, at least to make any lovesick Hufflepuff girls aware that you're unavailable." Roy sat, astounded. As far as he knew, Ed kind of hated public affection like this. Ed's blush intensified, probably because he knew vaguely what Roy was thinking, "I- I don't love this, but watching the challenge made me realize that I didn't want to waste my time across the room from you, watching other people try and get in your pants when I could just fucking suck it up and let myself have this, ya know? Shit, I'm embarrassing myself, just take my hand already, yeah?"
Roy grinned broadly, following Ed's orders. He led the way into the dance hall, noticing Ed stiffen when they were at the doors and Roy made no move to release his hand.
"Ed, you don't have to force yourself to do this if you're uncomfortable."
The blonde shook his head, "No, Roy, I want this. I want people to know we're a- a couple. This is a pretty good way to do that, right?"
His smile widened, "It's a great way!"
The brightness of Roy's smile caused Ed to smile as well, and they entered the hall to the vibrant sounds of an ending orchestral piece. They hurried to the floor before the next one started, and Roy had enough time to flash a wink at a confused but excited Al and Winry before the next dance began.
With Roy leading, there wasn't a chance they would mess up, and Ed seemed to trust their steps. Of course, he was flustered at first, glancing around at the other students too much (and sending dirty looks at Winry's smirk) and continually tripped up, but Roy got the other's attention back to him as the dance picked up with a gentle squeeze of the shoulder. Roy could feel eyes on them and heard quite a few girlish voices chirp their names, but he kept them out of his mind. He didn't care a bit about their judgment.
Once Ed was comfortable enough with the movement, he and Roy began chatting amid their dance, mostly about the other dancers.
"You know…" Ed mumbled, his sweet blush never having left his face, "You and Riza did dance very well together."
Roy laughed, "So you did see us! I didn't see you in the crowd!"
Ed mock-glared, "Well it's not because of my height, I know what you're thinking Roy Mustang!" He laughed a bit, "You probably dance better with her than with me."
"Well, I like dancing with you better." Roy murmured, leaning down to speak directly in Ed's ear.
"Oh, shush." Ed huffed, embarrassed. The song slowed to an end, and Ed pulled them off the floor with a small smile, "C' mon, we left our food on the stairs. I'd hate to waste it." His pull wasn't at all in the direction of the stairs, but to a table huddled away from the crowd, absolutely heaped with decorations and food. They could get some good privacy behind that heap…
Roy chuckled, Ed smirked, and they hurried to the table, not seeing the knowing looks of their friends and swelling gossip circles of those newly exposed to, possibly, the most unexpected coupling at Hogwarts.

❧ you say wicked like it’s something bad, but you still can’t help but watch me do it ❧
❝ I dream nights and girls like tigers, claws and teeth on both. ❞ LULU ANTARIKSA? No, that’s actually IPHIGENIA ‘GENIE’ ROWLE. A SEVENTH YEAR student, this SLYTHERIN student is sided with THE DEATH EATERS. SHE identifies as CIS WOMAN and is a PURE BLOOD who is known to be PETTY, VINDICTIVE, and UNSCRUPULOUS but also VIVACIOUS, CREATIVE, and PERCEPTIVE. { JANE, TWENTY TWO, NZT, SHE/HER }
here comes the demon
meet genie rowle, daughter of cadfael rowle and deianeira urquhart
in greek mythology, iphigenia is the daughter agamemnon offers in sacrifice —- this iphigenia has no intention of being anyone’s sacrifice, but she’s not opposed to the idea of anyone sacrificing themselves for her
the urquharts have like... this thing of naming themselves after greek mythological figures, but like, exclusively ones with a tragic ending
which.... ya they don’t unpack that fdshjksahj
an actual conversation cadfael & deianeira probably had abt naming genie:
cadfael: how about ariadne—
deianeira: too happy of an ending
cadfael: she got left behind on an island by the man she betrayed her family for
deianeira: what’s your point
anyway the rowles go for Welsh™ names usually but cadfael’s whole generation sorta just went fuck that and took other naming traditions, resulting in lo and wes having largely normal names, and then genie’s branch deciding to take her mother’s naming traditions (weird as they may be) & also there’s another branch that married a cornish pureblood and went exclusively w hectic cornish names
probably an only child, though it’s possible genie’s mother is her father’s second wife, and there could be an older half brother (would probably need to be younger than lo, though, who’s 24, and definitely younger than wes, 26) running around, but he’d need to be #Committed to the DE life —- we already have one rowle risking it all as a double agent, and this family (esp genie’s branch) is Too Extra™ to have multiple
genie is spoilt, petty, vindictive and has... pretty much no moral qualms. she’s generous, though, with her friends, and fiercely loyal to her family.
when she was younger, she had a... rebellious streak might be too generous a term, because no part of her ever felt any inclination to contend with her privileged position, but there was a certain freedom to her position in the family, the youngest of the cousins and a girl —- whereas all eyes were on wes, the heir, the truth, genie was allowed to run a little more wild. nothing not befitting a rowle, of course, for that would not do, but she had more freedom to act as she pleased, to say whatever she liked, to keep her running muttered commentary going during the galas, to suggest wicked plots for her own amusement. genie rowle was always unconcerned with what was fair or right, but she was fun and clever and wicked funny, and was willing to put all her devilish tactics to the good use of entertaining a friend when the fancy took her. children are often vaguely terrible, and these privileged purebloods more than most —- genie was far from an exception, and when she was your friend, she was easy to love for it
hogwarts, though, that’s where the naughtiness thrives
slytherin through and through —- not necessarily a bad thing, but on genie, this looks like the worst thing
most frequently can be found alongside gemma gamp ( g&g! ), her partner in crime, and the rest of the mean girl gang: odilia travers, sarah’s-tbd, maddison bulstrode & leonie-tbd. also often fucking around w people
bullying tw // luvs psychological warfare and the ‘hot & cold’ method, which is what she uses against ppl like isa weasley: flusters her w her presence and prettiness & then calls her by the wrong name and says undermining things to first turn her on and then remind her how meaningless she is! ( viv vc: fuck OFF leave isa ALONE // james vc: ??? constantly amazed by how wrong some ppl are // katya vc: ah, bullying. something new and exciting from my dormmates ) // end tw
but also just. is mean. hot n cold is one fun way 4 her to garner entertainment from ppl but rly, whatever takes her fancy is how she’ll go for it
usually it’s just for fun bc she gets a kick out of it but! she’s coming 4 u annie delacour-bardon for thinking u can move in on gemma’s territory! who cares if gemma didn’t want scor anymore, obvs nobody else could have him either
also she’s part of the DEs, so her various talents are available for their use —- while she is not a leader, she’s part of the same crew as all the current leaders, which suits her perfectly, tbh? she doesn’t want to be a leader... but she does love the clout that comes with being close to them & also using her position to push people to do things to ‘prove themselves’ without them rly having a chance to push her back (ofc, they’re welcome to —- it’s just a) easy for her to prove herself bc like... she doesn’t care abt the well-being of some mudbloods lol and b) given that she’s so tight with the leaders, pushing her to ‘prove herself’ in response to her suggesting you ought to is more likely to cast aspersions on your trustworthiness than hers)
just like wes, prefers getting other people to do her dirty work for her... she’ll do all the psychological stuff and bullying for sure, but she’s less inclined towards physical violence or anything or the like —- that’s more odilia’s or sarah-tbd’s domain? also even just minor things, she likes getting other people to do things for her, it’s a power thing (not her girls — well, maybe maddison — but like... weaker people DFJHSJH)
anyway she’s the fucking worst
the mean girls r demons!
death tw // the rowles are pretty hardcore —- wes and lo are (currently unbeknownst to wes) locked in a war that. well wes is a DE and lo is doublecrossing the DEs so! anyway either lo survives the war w/o being found out or wes is gonna organise her murder when he finds out and he’ll do it by playing the long game, pretending to her face that they’re still fine, all the while plotting her death. SO. that’s one half of genie’s fam! // end tw
the other half are the urquharts, who’re known for obtaining objects for the underground market, particularly historical wixen artefacts. traditionally, the eldest male has been the ‘face’ of the family, being respectable in public and also being the one who handles transactions and makes deals and sells off their findings or obtains requests for them. either a secondary branch or a younger sibling has traditionally been the head of expeditions, sent all around the world to uncover these things for this illegal trade. crime & curse breaking, therefore, have always run in the family.
her uncle, orpheus urquhart, was recently violently attacked (he’s a DE supporter/benefactor in terms of bankrolling things so like.... he’s gross!) & catch her in the lockdown being both outraged ppl would have the audacity to attack him and have room in her naughty self to be absolutely awful to poor yuri
she’s pan w/ a pref for girls, but rly anything goes. uses sex and associated affections for two main purposes, enjoyment & manipulation
nsfw // genie vc: my pussy is a power move // end nsfw
i imagine she primarily considers the mean girls her friends now, but certainly when she was younger, going back to that paragraph i wrote above, there’s like... more room for camaraderie? like w charles, they were friends when they were younger and now... both slythersevenths but she’s a demon! so there’s room for that kind of thing, and also ya sexual situations, and genie is always down to have fucked w someone, which could absolutely be emotionally —- she’s definitely the type to use sympathy/affection/gestures associated w humanity to like... manipulate people
just. the worst
no wonder violet wants to punch her
tragically is the safest / has best chance of survvial & well-being of all my characters, which is so cursed
calls al potter “daddy” bc obvs she doesn’t consider him a viable sexual prospect ( genie vc: he acts like a 90yo man and isn’t even as rich as one??? pass, so boring ) but it makes him way more uncomfortable than it bothers her to think of him as a sexual prospect, so! prime time 4 her
she’s basically awful to everyone the rest of my characters love w their whole hearts, and then she only cares abt the ones they don’t like
she does have this like... not caring exactly but for people like charles, who was her friend once, and the other slythersevenths she considers part of their crowd (esp seeing as the girls hung out w the slytherin sports boys before gemma/scor broke up), there’s a sense of almost. possessiveness? like, she’s not nice to them, but they’re largely hers to fuck with... so watch her be a total demon to vi when varlie happens
anyway i have to be up in 6 hrs so! this will have 2 be enough, sorry abt her, she’s a demon, but i hope she can be helpful 4 plots alongside her other demon besties

✧ *･ﾟ HAVE YOU EVER encountered someone that looked like a goddess or a doll on the outside, but after taking the time to get to know them, you slowly begin to realize that where confidence should exist lies layers of insecurity, self-doubt, and sadness ? that, or have you ever met a person that was so fortunate and lucky in various ways, but can’t help but spiral into bouts of depression due to loneliness, and lack of genuine human connection ? have you ever listened to the iconic hit LUCKY BY BRITNEY SPEARS ? if you answered yes to all, or some, of these q’s, then you’ve already had a glimpse into the life and times of my precious princess, the stunning SEO SURAN —- lipstick’s sub rapper, sub vocal, and child actress turned idol ! if you don’t feel like reading her bio, i 100% feel you, fam, so i’ll do you a favor and provide you some fun facts below the cut that you can read up on ! what’s even better is that i’ll give you some plot ideas, too, to make plotting with me EVEN EASIER. with all that said, feel free to hit the heart in the corner to lmk if you’d like to plot with me, and if you do, i’ll love you foreva and eva ! oh, i almost forgot lmao... you all can call me ryan btw ! i’m 18+ and a self-proclaimed bad bih lol it’s nice to meet’cha 💋
B A C K S T O R Y —-
suran was born to a former screenwriter (current film/tv reviewer) and his wife, a full-time stay at home mother, in seoul, south korea. from a very young age, she was beckoned to be a critical thinker —- her friends often loathed watching cartoons with her as she’d judge them based on their animation, writing, and so on. all of them would say that she doesn’t just sit back and enjoy them because she’s been raised to ask questions and analyze creative work. however, this made her a great student when it came to school, and she developed a love for learning at a young age.
around the age of eight years old, she decided that she wanted to be an actress. after spending long hours studying how it was done by the men and women on tv, she had a hunch that she’d be able to do it with ease. then, not long after, with her father’s connections, she was able to make her acting début in a drama called ‘ballad of seodong’ —- a historical piece where she played the younger version of the drama’s main character, princess seonhwa of silla. after that, she went on to star in another drama, then after, two feature films; one of those being a main role for her!
needless to say, she was a hardworking child; one that made her mom and dad super proud. however, when her contract with the acting agency ended, she was approached by bc entertainment. they discovered a few options for her —- representing her as an actress was mentioned, but the other option they provided seemed slightly better to her. they made a deal with her that they’d give her an easy début in an idol group so she could make a bigger name for herself, and at the time, she didn’t see anything wrong with that and decided to accept, and soon after, in 2010, she became a bc trainee.
while she envisioned this to be a great time of learning and accomplishment, it was anything but —- the trainee lifestyle kind of really destroyed her. body dysmorphia tw there was constant talk about diet and beauty, and whenever she looked around her, she found that everyone else was so graceful and glamorous. she felt like she didn’t meet their standards, and she became anxious about it. she started to look in the mirror and hate her appearance. being that she wasn’t quite talented at singing and dancing, she knew that beauty and personality were going to have to be her tickets to debut, so she spent almost all the money she made as a child actress on cosmetic surgery. within the two year time span that she trained, she got her eyelids, forehead, nose, jawline, and breasts done.
bc entertainment found this brave of her, and after she’d fully recovered, they decided to take a chance on her and put her in the lineup of lipstick. they wanted to use her for visual appeal more than outward talent, and she became a spectacle; an ornament almost. she loved and hated all this attention.
a few years pass and bc helps her land her first acting gig in years, and she couldn’t be more excited. however, when it’s announced, and when it later airs, netizens began to realize that they had seen her name before, and they pulled up old photos of her as a kid in the dramas and movies she starred in. when they put two and two together and saw that she looked like a drastically different person now, they were appalled; calling her a fraud as she’s made comments in the past about natural health and beauty.
due to this, her performance in ‘discovery of love’ wasn’t regarded as anything special and she fell into a deep depression; realizing that her past insecurities only came to ruin her life in present day.
after that, she spent years in a dark depression and became disinterested in being an idol, in being in lipstick. so much pressure was put on her —- be beautiful, be thin, be effervescent on camera, be appealing to the masses... and when she couldn’t fulfill all of those, she felt hopeless; she felt like a failure. everyone seemed to hate her, and she was so regretful of all she’d done leading up to this point.
however, after a few years of suffering, bc finally guided her into another acting opportunity once negative talk of her died down to a slow simmer, and it helped rouse her from this slump for quite awhile. the filming process kept her distracted, and she loved the character she portrayed, and when it was announced to the public, they had mixed reactions. all of them wondered why they’d cast her, but when the show aired, it became a cultural phenomenon in all of korea. ‘goblin’ now sits as one of the nation’s highest rated televised dramas, and after watching her thrilling performance as the leading female role, netizens grew soft for her; their opinions completely changingh
this drastic change has been so good to her that she doesn’t even believe she deserves it. she’s grateful for it though, and would rather be seen as some sort of angel to the nation instead of a fraud. what stresses her out now though is the pressure to keep this image going. she’s terrified of what’d happen if she fell from grace again, so she’s constantly on her best behavior —- not wanting anymore scandals to ruin her.
overall, her personality is really sweet. there’s a coldness to her because she’s afraid of what people think of her initially, but once she warms up to you, she’ll be a great friend. she’s fiercely loyal and really just wants to be loved.
C O N N E C T I O N S —-
another child actress/actor who was friends with suran since they were signed under the same agency when they were little. now that they’re both idols, they’re taking it to mean that fate really wants their friendship to last forever, so they’re doing all they can to make that happen. must’ve been an active actor/actress from 2004-2010.
a person that she trained in bc with (2010-2012) that she was able to share her secrets and insecurities with, and every time she went under the knife, they were there for her. really, they would try to convince her that she was beautiful as is, but she had the worst time believing them due to her dysmorphia. however, they’re still friends to this day, and they’ll forever be confidantes.
someone who has no idea why she’s even in lipstick since she doesn’t have that much talent when it comes to singing and dancing. she doesn’t get a lot of lines in their songs, but somehow, manages to be center a lot and it infuriates them that she’s given any spotlight at all.
an ex-boyfriend of her that really didn’t give a shit about her and only really wanted her as arm candy, and once he realized she had a lot of baggage, broke up w her.
an ex-girlfriend from the rough period of her time as an idol (2014-2016) who she broke up with because she was too insecure, and felt she was undeserving of her love. they’re still lowkey soft for each other, but lord knows if they’ll get back together rip.
a current romantic interest of her’s (male preferred) who, for the first time in forever, is patient enough with her to stick around and helps her feel better about herself. however, he doesn’t want to make things official just yet and it makes her sad because she’s falling deep in love with him.
a girl who had her first lesbian/bi experience with suran that’s a bit obsessed with her because of it, but she doesn’t know how to tell them that she doesn’t feel the same way.
lots and lots of fwb plots, please! men, women, whatever... she likes sex.
someone that’s made her their muse, and often paints pictures of her, writes poetry about her, or whatever, but they’re too scared to tell her or show her what they’ve done.
a man who listed her as his ideal type, but it led to her getting backlash from his fans, so now their relationship is awkward and she’s scared to be seen in public with him lol.
a woman who she said was her ideal type as a joke, but she’s actually not joking at all and she desperately wants to get to know her better —- as friends or as fwbs or wtv.
people that help her with dancing, singing, and rapping! she’s not the worst that there is in the industry, but she still feels as though she’s lacking since she skated through training based on her looks alone. please help her tysm.
a younger man that she’s having a fwb relationship with and she loves spoiling him since he hasn’t paid off his debt from training yet, lol. make her a sugar mama pls.
really... i’m up for anything! so please let me know if none of these appeal to you so we can plot something else! love you all and thanks for reading!

Reminisce | The End
Park Jimin
“I found myself falling more in love with you as I grew older.”
You and Jimin were childhood best friends until you had to move away. As years passed and you both aged, the separation between your friendship deepen and you never heard from him again. More than a decade passed and you suddenly stumble upon the man who you never stopped thinking about.
Genre: angst
Word Count:
Warnings: explicit language
Italics = flashback
Prologue | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | the end
after 8 months of not updating, i want to finally conclude the end of this story. thank you for all who constantly reminded me and checked up on this series i really appreciate it bc it shows me that there are still ppl who are interested. through my major writers block, i have to say that i am quite happy with how this all ended.
“Are you going to tell me what it is that hurt you so much that you couldn’t come see me?” Jimin sat in front of you on his bed, his hands twiddling with yours.
“We lost touch, Jimin. As close as we were, we were living separate lives and I wanted to respect yours. You were entering high school at the time and I was just some old friend holding you back from exploring. I liked you a lot, Jimin, so when you began pushing me away.. it hurt me.” Look up, Jimin’s eyes were glossy and rimmed with small puddles.
“Right.. I realized that I was doing that. I never meant to stop calling. I wanted to, I just got distracted by other things. But I never stopped thinking about you, (Y/N). I found myself falling more in love with you as I grew older. When Christmas rolled around, I waited to see if you were flying back. When it was your birthday, I begged Mom to help me mail your gifts.. but even my own mother lost contact with your’s.” A single tear ran down Jimin’s plump cheek.
“You thought about me?” Your voice cracked, shocked by his confession.
“All the time. I could never fully commit myself to a new relationship. I was never fully there because I couldn’t. I was stuck on my best friend.” Your hand slipped from his as the doorbell rang.
He wiped his wet cheeks and got up to answer the door. “What are you doing here?” His voice rang throughout the apartment.
“I need you, Jimin. You make me feel whole. I miss your arms and your chest. I miss you.” A woman’s voice carried with his.
“You can’t be here. Go home.”
“This is my home. It’s our home.”
“No, it’s my home and I need you to go, it’s late.” Jimin was growing angry.
“Fine. I’m sorry. I’ll see you tomorrow. We’ll have lunch or something.” A slam followed her response. He walked into his bedroom with you shocked.
“Were you seeing someone?” You asked softly, your past young self dying inside from jealousy.
“No, (Y/N). But she thinks that I want to be with her and I really don’t. She doesn’t understand that I don’t feel the same and she visits me every week. I tell her every time. I tell her to leave me alone. She’s trying to find the reason to why I don’t want to be with her and she almost found it at first.”
You stared at him, confused. “What do you mean? What’s the reason?”
“If only she came in and checked to see who was in my room. She’d know the reason why I don’t want to be with her.” He held your hand again, glossy eyes soaking you up.
Then it hit you. He meant you. Swallowing the lump in your throat, you drew Jimin in for a hug. “I’ve waited all my life for you to say that you want me the same way I want you. But, Jimin, we don’t live in a fairy tale and you’re a little too late. 13 years late..”
He pulled back and held your face. He searched for answers in your expression, but you remained as blank as possible. “I leave in the next 3 days, Jimin. I don’t know when I’m coming back. I don’t know where life will take me next.”
“So stay. Live here with me, with your dad. This was your life before, the life you loved.” Jimin begged and you’ve never seen this side of him before.
“You didn’t beg this desperately when I left 13 years ago..”
Jimin rolled his eyes and his hands let go of yours, “because that was out of your control. Now, you’re an adult and making your own choices, kiddo.”
You had forgotten how smart and witty Jimin was. You always use to believe that he was smarter because he was older, but it was actually because Jimin was just academically excelling.
“No, you can’t take away 5 apples if you only have 4 to give away. That is when you get into negative numbers and you aren’t learning those yet.” Jimin helped you erase your previous answer.
You pushed away the thick book filled with math worksheets. As a nine year old, you only desired to play, especially with the new scooter that Jimin recently got for his birthday.
“Can we play?” You asked impatiently Jimin poking his temples with the end of his pencil. He shook his head.
“I promised your mom I would help you with your homework and you’re not done with it yet. Come here.” He patted the spot on the lawn next to him.
You stood your ground and crossed your arms. Shaking your head violently, you proceeded to say, “I want to play, Jimin.”
He pouted, “we can play if you answer this problem correctly. If you don’t, you’re coming back to finish your homework, deal?”
You gleamed and nodded, but your smile fell when Jimin hit you with a division question. You had only recently learned division in the fourth grade and you were too busy doodling to pay attention.
When you couldn’t answer him, he patted the seat next to him again and pulled out a clean sheet of paper to write more division practice problems for you to do.
“Well smartass, why don’t you tell me how much it would cost for me to stay here? What job will I be doing instead of a flight attendant? Do I continue school? I definitely can’t dance, Jimin, so don’t even think about that. Are you okay with me living with you? How much is rent? What would happen if we break up? Or if you change your mind?” As smart as Jimin was, asking you to stay was a ridiculous request.
You no longer lived in your old city anymore. You no longer needed Jimin to support you anymore. “I don’t know, if you really want to stay then we can talk about this over the next few days and figure everything out. If you don’t, then I’ll let you go on your way.”
“I’m not staying here.” You told him and the his face sadden by tenfold. “I love you, Park Jimin, as my close childhood best friend. I love you, Park Jimin, as something more than that. But, we would never work out and maybe that’s why it took so long for us to realize how each other feels for the other.”
“But you’re not going to give us a chance?” Jimin’s voice cracked, indicating how much he was holding back from crying.
You pulled him onto the mattress with your arms draped over his torso, your chin on top of his chest. “I gave us so many chances.”
At that moment, he sat up with you in his arms. His lips pressed gently against yours. His scent engulfing you, his nose pressed roughly on your face. His antsy hands wondering your canvas.
The many emotions overwhelmed you, causing you to vibrate and grip onto his shirt to steady yourself. Your heart beat faster than Jimin’s impatient touches. Heat radiated off of your cheeks.
You were feeling a mixture of nervousness and passion. While the other kiss was refreshing, this one was laced with every ounce of passion that Jimin hid inside of him.
After a few more seconds, you pulled away to breathe. Your deep breathing mixed with his as he stared deeply, longingly into your eyes. His chest rose evidently and you whispered, still inches away from his face, “what happened to letting me go on my own way?”
He chuckled, but his smile changed to a small pout as if he had realized something, “I was crazy to push you away before. I’m not going to do that again, (Y/N). I don’t know how many more years I can stand hearing you call me your best friend when I know we both want more than that.”
“So?”
“So.. fucking stay with me, please.” Jimin nuzzled his head at the crook of your neck, burying his hot face into your skin.
The next few days, Jimin would not stop holding onto you. He was afraid of you flying off. He showered you with love and affection. Every night, he made sure you were comfortable in his arms before he kissed you goodnight.
You have never felt more happy in your entire life. Growing up, you had the longest crush on the man, who you’ve been waking up to the past mornings. Jimin was finally yours.
The older protector, the admirable, fearless Park Jimin saw you in the same light that you’ve been casting upon him your whole life. However, something felt off and almost unsettling.
Even though you were happy, maybe it wasn’t the relationship your younger self wanted. It felt almost rushed, but you’ve both been waiting for practically a lifetime for these moments. So... why weren’t you running around the room and doing cart wheels?
As Jimin slept soundlessly at night, you laid next to him wide awake. You didn’t want to stay, even if it did mean that you’ll finally be with the man of your dreams. Your life was in the sky, in different countries.
Your big move when you were younger switched something within you. Through the tears and the new experiences, you couldn’t stay in one place for long. You couldn’t get too comfortable or else, you’ll release it really wasn’t what you wanted.
You didn’t want to abruptly leave Jimin one day. You loved him too much to hurt him like that, so the only way to avoid it was to never start it.
“Why are you going so far away for college? Don’t you want to stay here with me? With your mom?” Your close friend questioned you as you browsed through a college brochure.
“I really.. don’t. I just don’t like it here.” You simply told him, not intending for it to mean much.
He huffed, “I’m here.”
“I know. It’s not you. It’s this location. I’m not happy here. There are millions of different countries in this world, aren’t you curious to what’s out in the world?” You held onto his shoulders, but he shook you off.
“I don’t care about anywhere if it doesn’t involved you. I’ve never found someone as great as you, (Y/N).”
“Don’t say that because you don’t know what you’re saying. How could someone stay in one place for the rest of their lives and be.. okay with it? To be with the same people and feel like they’re not missing out?” You marveled, but you didn’t realize how much your excitement was hurting him.
He cleared his throat and he began to gather his things to leave, “well then, you don’t really need me anymore, do you? Sorry that you felt like you missing out.”
“Why don’t you want to leave?” You followed after him, down your staircase and to your front door. You were unsure why he was getting upset with you.
Your friend spun on his heel to face you with all his final might, “because I’m comfortable.”
“That’s the thing. I’m too comfortable here. I’m-I’m--I’m sick of it!”
“Maybe you should warn the next person you let into your life that you’re not staying for long before they get too attached.” He smiled bitterly before exiting your life.
“Jimin.” You called after him the morning of your mandatory flight back.
The sleepy boy groaned and mumbled, “yes?”
Sitting up, you held his blankets close to your nose to remember the sweet scent you’ll miss. “I’ve decided.”
He shot up, rubbing the morning out of his eyes. “You’re staying?”
“I’m.. leaving. And.. I’m.. not..” you swallowed before finishing your sentence, “coming back for us.” Hot tears spilled at the sides of your cheeks, but Jimin wasn’t comforting you. He was busy curling up into a small ball, cushioning his own heart break.
“Can I ask you why?” His delicate voice cause the guilt to close your throat.
“It’s better if you didn’t know and that there is nothing you can do to change my mind.” Getting up, you needed to get back into uniform.
Jimin’s body shook as his sobs drifted around the room. His tears stained more than his pillow.
He wasn’t the only one who was choked up inside. Hearing your best friend cry was the worst thing that you’ve ever experienced. You experienced turbulence all the time in the planes, times where you’ve felt like you were going to die. But Jimin’s tears shook you violently, more than what turbulence ever done to you. However, the only reassurance you had was that it was for the best. Jimin was better left hurt now than later when he was too invested in the relationship.
Although you had come to the decision of letting go, it was still hard for you to go. Jimin’s nonverbal cues planted your feet to the ground. It made your body hesitant from moving on.
“Are you going to send me off, Jimin?” You asked the sobbing man, his eyes already red from the tears.
He peered up at you and you saw the most hurt expression on your best friend’s face. “Of course. What kind of friend would I be if I didn’t?”
His voice cracked halfway and he grabbed his keys, without brushing his teeth or changing, he headed for the door. “Do you get ready first, Jimin?”
“Sure.” It almost seemed as if he was mindlessly listening to your orders, losing a mind of his own.
When Jimin was ready, the car ride over to the airport was occupied with a heavy silence. You had to refrain from reaching over and holding his hand. Jimin had to refrain from crying anymore. He didn’t want to listen to the radio, afraid to create any songs that reminded him of you.
Once you arrived, Jimin parked and helped you with your suitcase. He had been avoiding eye contact the entire time, but he looked up once more before you left. His breath was caught in his throat when he saw you beautifully made in your uniform and red lipstick, the same night he had saw you again.
“I’m sorry, (Y/N), that I hadn’t realized how much I was in love with you until recently.” He whispered and you fell into his arms, breaking inside and out.
“I’m sorry for doing this to you, Jimin, but I can’t hurt you in the future when I know it would destroy you more than it does now.” You sobbed into his arms and he pulled you back, confused.
“What do you mean?”
Your mascara smeared under your eyes and Jimin rubbed the rolling tear away. “I don’t stay for long. It’s only a matter of time before I get too comfortable and fly away again. I’ve done it before and I sure as hell would do it again.”
“No matter how much you love me?” His voice grew small.
“No matter how much I love you, Park Jimin.” You kissed him again, dragging out the last taste of his lips, the last smell of his scent.
He held you by your forearms, taking in all your grown features. “You’ve grown up to be a beautiful, independent woman, (Y/N). Don’t forget me when you’re off into the unknown.”
“Jimin... I loved you my entire life. I’ve traveled to exotic countries and I loved you. I’ve gone to places that I can’t even pronounce and.. I still love you. And I hope that you understand my decision of not staying. And don’t you worry, Jimin, I’ve never forgotten about you, you’re with me where I go.” You held up your necklace charm he had given you when you were younger.
He kissed your cheek and drew you in for a long hug. “Goodbye, (Y/N).”
“Goodbye, Jimin. Thank you for being my best friend.”
“Thank you for loving me.” He smiled through his stained cheeks and you felt his arms slowly fall from your arms, and drop down to his sides. You began walking towards your terminal where your coworkers chatted among themselves.
You told yourself you wouldn’t turn around and look at Jimin one last time, but your body betrayed you and your head spun around before you reached your group. However, Jimin was gone before he could take one last look at you.

Suicide au: even in the best case scenario I don't think Heathcliff would ever fully recover. What kept him going for most of his life was revenge and he doesn't have that anymore, so there's no real drive. if he has ANY it's Hareton but then that is not so much. On the upside he's not socially experimenting with children, and on the downside he's not doing anything.
I’m putting all the suicide au asks into one to answer so I don’t spam my followers and so there aren’t a bunch of triggery posts. Bold is me, normal is Kira Heathcliff being this mentally ill is likely to just shut down and not do anything
do you think a partial redemption is possible in the suicide au that needs a better name? I think so but then I always think that...
Not really, I think that in this AU the suggestion is that there is a lack of motivation and a self hatred but not necessarily a regret and in order to be redeemed I think you have to be willing to attempt to make amends. It’s what differs Heathcliff from say Darcy. Mr Darcy is a dick but he does everything in his power to right the wrongs he did.
Oh poor Hareton would be a wreck if he found him. If he's dead- well, yeah. Basically what you said already. What if he's not? Also what would Cathy or Joseph do?
Hareton would not cope. He’s only like 16 and he’s probably mentally a lot younger and this is a man he worships. Joseph would probably just spit hellfire. Cathy would be torn between her hatred for him and her sense of humanity.
There's a lot of "let him kill himself" from Cathy and she and Hareton have a proper screaming match over it. It would be one thing if it was at the house but it happens in the village and it starts in very coded language and ends with everyone in fifty feet of them knowing the details of what exactly happened. No one thought it was possible for them to be cast out more than they already were but surprise! The only way they could get even more isolated involves pitchforks and torches
Oh god yes. Neither Cathy nor Hareton can hold back much when it comes to Heathcliff. They are both very passionate in different directions.
Okay so, let's say Heathcliff fails. You think he shuts down after that? Like just gives up completely, on everything? I imagine Hareton would be really clingy after that, to Catherine's annoyance, but she might tolerate it for a time if Heathcliff is completely shut down bc bc he's not hurting anyone anymore, except maybe Hareton
I definitely think Heathclif would shit down. Cathy would hate Hareton becoming clingy to him, she would definitely tr and tell him that he doesnt owe Heathcliff anything and that Heathcliff has in fact treated him like shit and now is a great time to get away
Okay so I think a lot about the asylum thing would depend on whether the reformation had reached them yet. There's no way Nelly and/or Hareton because I'm unsure of who would be in charge of this would put anyone in what was basically jail, but I think that between Heathcliff being obviously mentally unwell and him just not caring anymore, a lot of the power of the estate or whatever is shifting to Hareton.
The power would likely be with Hareton but he would give it to Nelly, he wouldn’t feel that he could deal with it.
Alright idea: Cathy wants to start a Heathcliff free family with Hareton. Hareton is not gonna leave Heathcliff's side until he's sure he won't kill himself. Cathy figures that, excluding murder, the only way to get her goal is get Heathcliff better. Cathy starts volunteering to sit with him instead of Nelly. She starts off basically ordering him to get better, then starts screaming at him, then finally sighs and says alright why did you try to kill yourself because talking's her only other idea
She asks him that but she has no patience either, she won’t hear his sob story, she won’t let him paint himself as a victim and she agrees with him when he puts himself down.
Getting Heathcliff to talk is hard though. She realizes quick she's gotta start slow with him, and she hates small talk, so she talks to him about Hareton and that gets some response. Not much but some. So they keep going and Cathy is approaching this very clinically until Hareton says something about how he's glad they're finally bonding and she flips. Hareton is a little disheartened but he's still daydreaming about a picture perfect family and he's gonna make sure he gets it
Cathy is not bonding, she still hates him with a vengeance she just loves Hareton more than she hates him and she sort of screams that when flipping
Hareton is at least temporarily in charge and he makes Joseph caretaker of the Grange because he and Cathy don't get along. That is the only thing he does. It makes him feel giddy with power. Cathy suggests he get REALLY crazy and move a chair from one corner to another but he says no let's not get ridiculous
Oh Hareton darling :L
Nelly wonders why she's not happier. Don't they get the happy ending she's been praying for? Isn't Heathcliff suffering for his crimes? Why is she so sad?
Nelly has a weird set of feelings towards Heathcliff but at the end of the day she can’t completely give up of him.
After a month, while Hareton's working, Cathy declares she and Heathcliff are going for a walk and drags him along. Catherine has been cooped up and so has he honestly and Cathy finally stops walking when they reach her favorite tree, and they sit down and she asks him again and not too gently why he tried killing himself. He doesn't answer. She pulls out a paper and says if he answers he can visit her children once. He says letters aren't legally binding. She says that's not stopped him before
Hearthcliff is surprised that he cares about visiting her children, he doesn’t really but he sort of does.
He looks at the paper for a long time and says he can't tell her something he doesn't know. She sighs dramatically and can't help thinking that a) he seemed to genuinely want that and b) he didn't just make up something. She decides she needs a different question and asks him if her mother was really an angel who did no wrong (a question she knows the answer to, deep down.) He smirks and says that he loved her, and she was vibrant, and she was a lot like her, but doesn't answer the question If Heathcliff were to talk shit about Cathy1, Cathy2 would probably flip because all she’s heard is a very rose-tinted story of Cathy1′s perfection from Edgar.
Hareton has a always been a little tough starved tbh. He was so happy when Cathy started casually touching him (not in a weird way in a chill way) and he's started to get a little bolder in general. He hugs Nelly now, which started awkwardly but she loves it, and he's sleeping in Heathcliff's bed, just to be sure nothing happens it's not because he can cuddle him not at all. Idk if Heathcliff is keeping his thoughts to himself or if he's so out of it he hardly notices
Heathcliff is barely aware of him being there (also this is like a reverse Patrick and Branwell situation)

Why would isayama need to include black people?
ok, prepare yourselves -.-
i’m gonna try and be nice, alright? you could just as easily say why did he choose to make Mikasa half-Japanese? Why bother including her full Japanese mother then *spoilers* creating a whole East Sea clan ?? Just a little something called-
*✧･ﾟ:* IDENTIFICATION*✧･ﾟ:*
Did you know Isayama never planned to make Mikasa half-Japanese? She was going to be fully Caucasian/west European-it literally just struck him one day (app. he saw some model/customer in a coffe shop or suttin) but I am 100% sure that wasn’t the only reason ; Isayama is Japanese. The manga is in Japanese. He is in japan.
Now I wouldn’t have batted and eyelid if the cast was all-Japanese ; like okay, it’s exclusively for a Japanese audience but the fact that Mikasa is the only one naturally stuck out to me-everyone else is white, ok cool, cool again this is something I’m used to in the anime industry-but then we’re told these are the last remaining humans on earth & i’m sorry but anyone would be like whoa hold up-no people of colour survived?? and it isn’t only until way down in the manga that we learn *spoilers* that no that isn’t the case-errbody’s chillin except for the poor eldians (ch 98 woop) so technically he DID include black people, like in one panel :)
NOW lemme backtrack real quick here-so we have this badass, beautiful female character who happens to be the only remaining member of the Asian bloodline within the walls-how bloody amazing must that have been for the Japanese audience, do you think?? It’s nice-hella gratifying, no? Ok now apply that concept here-how fucking lit would it have been to have a person of colour as part of the main cast? Listen, all it took for me to start squealing was a less than half a page panel of vaguely brown people in ch98, ok? I . was . on . the . floor . THAT even in it’s weakest and most diluted form is called Self-identification, mon ami.
What I’m on about is this: Isayama almost without a doubt decided to include Mikasa as Mikasa in order to better engage the Japanese audience which leads to the question-is that it? Did he not care to appeal to or engage any other group besides white & japanese people across the world? -honestly I don’t believe he was thinking that far ahead-he probably never thought snk would become what it is today BUT & here’s the big but-the rest of the cast says a lot about, not necessarily his current, but certainly previous mindset (again this is recurrent in the anime industry so i’m not really blaming him).
Having everyone else being exclusively white European, the amount of research & thought he poured into Norse mythology and German nomenclature-that was effort & required serious thinking outside the box. Did he not feel the need to do so for any other group-was it too complicated, too distracting or did he not have the time?? Who knows? And what’s more-idk maybe this is just me & I don’t know how much attention you’ve been paying to imagery/motifs, but I kept on stumbling on some very afro-centred symbols the largest & most obvious being the Marley continent-Africa, really? YES I KNOW it isn’t meant to actually be the African continent but still-to use such a huge, hella representative icon in a manga where there are no black people in active roles? Frankly it’s just odd, probably not of any significance to a non-black person, but anyone with roots in Africa would wonder-I honestly believed ‘shit is Isa gonna finally intro some black characters’ lol. Then there’s the whole ‘tree of life’ imagery and here one could arguably say that’s why Isa chose to centralise the manga around a more European/ Nordic culture WELL, here’s some news for you- The concept of the ‘tree of Life’ is rampant, absolutely rampant, in Africa and appears in so many cultures across the continent-he didn’t know? Didn’t bother? It’s a shame really because he missed the opportunity to combine two very different cultures with a central common theme which, tbh would’ve been bloody amazing in terms of the plot.
Maybe because it was just easier-I mean it’s just another all white cast except this time they’re actually tied to “Europe”/ a European-like setting. And ngl I kept on trying to gloss it over in my head: ‘it’s fine/its the standard/get used to it/ this is how the manga/anime industry is/get over yourself/it’s normal BUT IT ISN’T-bc that’s NOT how things are-there are poc on every civilised/man-occupied land on this earth & there are A LOT- they are the majority.
& NO japan is not oblivious of people of colour-the non-Japanese population is growing everyday-THEY KNOW VERY WELL who black people are (given the, lets just say, less than favourable representations of them in anime/media). Not as welcome as their non-poc counterparts, hmm? Japan has been conditioned (look at anime/manga character design in general fgs) to accept and internalise European aesthetics so an almost all white cast is just easier-easier to introduce, easier to implement-black character (like actually black NOT ‘dark-skin Japanese/greek/Spanish etc)? why tho? Why go through all that hassle?
Why not.
because these are people-and it’s so sick & twisted that we’re still letting things like skin colour, the amount of a certain pigment in our bodies determine how we live and think. You asked why do black people need to be in snk and i’m gonna rebut real damn hard (sorry not sorry)-WHY NOT? Yh maybe they’re not that tantamount to the storyline or plot but neither is Mikasa’s being half-japanese-Isayama could have, would have just created another Caucasian bloodline like the Ackermans. No matter how you look at it-it’s hard to refute the fact that he wanted Japanese readers/viewers to gain some form of affirmation.
And honestly (I shit you not) I could write a book but I’ll leave you with this: there was a post I came across when I first joined tumblr in the summer-it was a photoset of an artist who had done some snk fanart for a younger female relative of theirs: https://desertbl00m.tumblr.com/post/162481882946/vibraniumbabe-i-did-this-drawing-as-a-surprise
Look at her face-look how happy and overwhelmed she is-why does he need to indeed?
#{phew}#{sorry if this is somewhat incomprehensible but I hope you got the message}#{Now-this is MY OPINION & how I feel about the sit.-you asked I answered}#{poc = people of colour btw}#{well this exploded :)}#{are those smudges ink? or dark circles? ; ooc}#{fucking dark circles smfh}#¬¬what the hell...?¬¬#¬¬faces unknown;; faces alien¬¬
