f1wagupdates: y/n l/n on the late late show with james corden in early 2016, months before she reportedly met daniel ricciardo at the austrian gp in 2016. the interview has begun recirculating after daniel revealed dm's that the two had been in contact for two years before they 'met' for the first time.
do we think her cryptic clues could have been a hint to the actress having a crush on daniel himself, or another driver on the 2016 grid at the time?

user1: forget the confusion, i'm impressed she didn't succumb to corden's ridiculous peer pressure smh
user2: fr 'i hope i'm not overstepping' and then he tries to literally pry the info out of her hands
user3: 'SO IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEM, WHAT'S THE HARM IN TELLING?'
user4: also you can't convince me her 'dignity' and 'reputation' wasn't code for 'i don't want to talk about it'
user5: could you imagine if she was talking about jenson button 💀
user6: idk i think 'i'm a big fan of you' ruins that theory, i can't see it being anyone but daniel
user7: i'm so jealous of her if they started dating in 2016 because danny's curly mullet era was MOUTH-WATERING
user8: there were 24 drivers on the 2016 grid and from that 24 around 1/2 could be candidates
user9: can daniel ricciardo fight? i hope he can't
user10: 'he drives fast and he looks good doing it' miss y/n did NOT lie
user11: just thinking if she got this flustered and nervous about her crush on him to the point where she couldn't actually tell anyone who it was, then how did it go when she met him in 2016???
user12: why is nobody talking about how flirty those messages were? 'are you bribing me?' and 'is it working?' THEY CLEARLY LIKED EACH OTHER
user13: the man literally couldn't find her in the paddock and HAD to introduce himself he was clearly down BAADDDD

jellicle lineups; part 3/4
Tumblr media
LETS GO PEOPLE!! LETS GO !! sorry for taking so long to get around to this one !
demeter | 🔒 🍰 🌇
DEETER
ive seen a lot of complaints about demeters design being toned down over the years so i decided to bring some of the bolder design choices back for mine. mullet demeter is REAL now ! honestly i couldve done more w/ their makeup but shhh its ok....
i tried to push the gold in their design by making the eyeshadow really obvious and giving them gold lips. enjoy their lacy dress too... i tried to design something which they could dance comfortably in
demeters newer 3 words (nervous, sensual, secretive) mean everything to me. love them so much. i think theyd be 29 in human years
bombalurina | 🌹 🍓 🛼
so i totally based her hair on that concept art for drag queen bomba. the bob is too cute ! i had a blast doing her design for the most part. i struggled w that makeup and the color of her dress but its ok.
i also tried to give her something she could dance in—just like. imagine the length of the dress a little shorter. im not going back and fixing it
i based her color palette/patterns directly on her concept art because tbh, i dont love blond/ginger bomba ! so black/white/red hair bomba it is
i think she would be 27 in human years
hysperia | 🪴 ⌚ 🍡
this is my version of exotica, renamed hysperia, because i do not love her og name. its not fun. the name hysperia is taken from an ensemble kitten character from the og london production
i also based her design on a multitude of things, asides from her 2 costumes in 98—like some nbq/greycat designs since i feel like that design not becoming a common ensemble character was a waste. A WASTE I TELL YOU! ive also based her fur length on warsaw victoria because oh my godddd that design is so good. peak
her neck bow is a nod to the 2019 movie... the macavity girls w/ those bow collars. they were onto something there
she would have a much more prominent role than the few times she cameo'd in 98, still retaining the elegant/shy personality she shows in the film. shed be 29 in human years
cassandra | 🪐 ♠️ 🥯
i originally made her makeup a lot closer to her replica designs but decided to go for something a little different based on a makeup look i saw on pinterest LOL. so like. enjoy her slight earthy gothic vibes. i also didnt struggled too much on her outfit since i came into this knowing that i wanted her to be wearing something formfitting and bejeweled. a little circus-y too
more people have got to play up her disdainfulness. she'd be 26 in human years
alonzo | 🎹 🍢 🎳
once again, another design pretty similar to his standard replica one. i just tried to make the black patch on his face a little greyer and with some white detailing. because tbh every alonzo with white mascara makes me go crazy its so cute
i also tried to make his head fur/bangs a little distinctive—inspired by a random pic from a production i dont know the name of
enjoy his little cute fit too. pinklonzo. pastelonzo
that one gif of him pantomiming eating a playing card IS canon to me. he'd be 28 in human years
munkustrap | 📼 🥧🎙
verrrry similar to standard replica munks makeup-wise ! however, fur wise.... say hi to mulletstrap. to manestrap. 2 me he is tuggers brother so he gets that. i have no justification for the mullet other than idk, looks good, is funny, and the oslo 1985 production was right to give him one. also he and demeter can match now
i do like when theyre seen as something of a prince... so say hi to the gothenburg and opera populaire-esque epaulettes. theyre cayoot. they also get warsaw munks Big Pant Vibes
give this man a break. hed be 30 in human years
macavity | 🔥 🥂 🎯
he was actually one of the first cats i made design notes for when i started hyperfixating on this musical like.... two months ago. i really tried to mix elements from a bunch of different designs 4 him.... and sorry yall hes a deut brother too. im predictable
the manginess, mane, more ginger-y head fur, tugger-ness and the mouth markings from the 2016 revival... the big big hair, white fur and general makeup from his replica design... and the stylings of il sistina mac with the fitted coat. he also gets unique eyelashes like tugger—this time white instead of gold. he also gets that ominous magic cat eye shading
i think he would act a lot like 2019 mac... suave. but also not as dorky and desperate as he is in that movie LOL. he'd be 33 in human years
ONLY ONE MORE LEFT..... THE OLDIES........ MAYBE... I MIGHT MAKE DESIGNS FOR SOME OF THE SWINGS TOO LOL

ok so, based on lizzy's idea of black w snakes, and paired w the fact that valentina's only v distantly related to royalty, this is a mockup i did for valentina's og crest! i went w sable/argent/vert/tawny as the primary color scheme (and am only just now putting together that i think i was really channeling house slytherin but whtever i stand by that we all know valentina'd be a slytherin lsdkfjklsdfkljsdf ANYWAY!! im thinking that the ram/serpent motif is the og royal one but the moline cross and crescent showcase that valentina is descended from the eighth son of a prince who was, himself, descended from the second son of a king soooo yeah, not exactly next in line till roderick decided to change all of that ;DDDD
Serpent: Wisdom, knowledge, defiance; fertility and renewal; medicine
Ram: Authority & leadership; strength, perseverence
Goat: Political ability, diplomat/diplomacy, practical wisdom; persistence and strength
Sable (black): Constancy or grief
Vert (green): Hope, joy, and loyalty in love
Argent (silver/white): Peace & sincerity
Tawny or Tenné (orange/brown): Worthy ambition
Crown: Heaven; victory, sovereignty, empire; success
Crescent: One who has been honored by the sovereign; hope/ hope of greater glory; service in holy war/House of the second son
Cross/Moline Cross: Service in holy war; faith/House of the eighth son (or, as used in conjunction with the crescent, house of an eighth son from the line of a second son)
Ermine or Fur: Dignity
ANYWAYYYY, when she got married that got adapted, and since she was of royal blood, her kids get to wear the crests of both their parents, perhaps smth...like...this...?
Tumblr media
literally just used the first vaguely nautical sigil (since its the riverbend) w the default colors as an example to represent what their dad's sigil might've been, but yeah since their mom, being of royal blood, technically outranks their dad, they would have been permitted to slice their arms to use the sinister (no, really, that's just the word for 'left' in latin -- romans had weird supersticions abt the left and that's why sinister means what it means to us but, anyway, its what the mother's side is called when you get to use that and, obv, it therefore appears on the left -- as assigned from the pov of the person carrying the shield which pov i forgot when i initially made this which is why the words are backwards bc i flipped it since they later changed which side is sinister and which is dexter [right/paternal] lkasdjflkjsdflkj)
so yeah!! that's a mock up and i wondered what you thought? i def think the dad's side needs some work (im actually thinking, personally, that a portcullis could be cool esp bc its symbolic meaning is 'protection in an emergency' and that's precisely what valentina failed to give them aklsjdfkldsjfsdf annnd its what cassimir is sort of promising to eithne so yeah idk thought it had ~meaning but yeah anywayyy alksjdflkjsdf)
anyway!! smth along these lines would've been the family sigil that valentina and her kids would've been entitled to wear from the day of her marriage, so yeah! when valentina married lord m, the stepkids might've either quartered their arms (dad/val/mal/val probs), or they perhaps might've just left it as the above? once they were adopted (or 'adopted' ;D), the stepkids would've been entitlted to wear the malconaire arms. after her marriage, valentina probs took to using a val/malconaire split herself, but whatever her kids wanted to do would be their own call once they're formally entitled to use any arms they want etc. they could also potentially rest a crown over whatever their dad's sigil was to mark that they, themselves, are of royal blood, and valentina would defff encourage this and even more so after the rest of the royal line is wiped out laksjdfkljdsf
(also just realized i used a mullet instead of a moline in the second mockup, so just imagine that's a moline cross not a star on the cresent in the second one laksdjfklsdjafkljsdf this is why i really shouldn't try to do anything after a tag sale day hahaha)
anyway gonna respond to the overarching thing soon but when you set the challenge of 'like valles but not' i was like 'that sounds like fun!!' hahahaha (tho also lowkey hc'ing that they're related to the valles somehow -- we know the ~mega bad news came from house karr anyway soooo i think it works ;DDD)

i need to know if y’all were thinking about leon’s cape or if y’all imagined a landscape full of leons
it originally started off with leon’s cape because it was between that or leon’s mullet idk. but then i mashed them together and got leonscape which looked like landscape but it also sounded like it was leon + escape?
however you pronounce it is fine, i think that’s why i chose to use this username; it could be interpreted in different ways and i thought that was funny.

Sun Seeker 🌻 1: Good thing the feeling is mutual
Tumblr media
Namjoon does not do impulsive. He doesn’t understand the fuss about body modifications, and he has never considered getting one. That is, until he meets Yoongi—the prettiest man he’s ever seen, who happens to be a tattoo artist—and he can’t stop thinking about going under Yoongi’s needle to have an equally pretty design tattooed onto his skin.
🌻 Namjoon x Yoongi
🌻 word count: 9.6k
🌻 strangers to lovers, tattoo shop au, smut, fluff, slash, nsfw, 18+
🌻 warnings: description of tattooing and piercing (details including needles), pining, flirting. side TaeKook.

INDEX | NEXT
Tumblr media
"Live a little," Taehyung says with a grin, bumping his hip into Namjoon's side. "Be impulsive!"
Namjoon chuckles, but it's more of a frustrated sound than a happy one. He shakes his head and stares at his feet as they continue down the sidewalk, feeling an overwhelming sense of trepidation in his belly.
"I'm not impulsive," Namjoon mutters, shoving his sweaty hands into the front pockets of his blue jeans. "I'm careful. Measured. Intentional. Being impulsive sounds...horrifying."
Taehyung takes two long steps ahead of Namjoon and spins on the balls of his feet, stopping Namjoon in his tracks. Long, dark hair falls in front of one of Taehyung's eyes, and he gives Namjoon a wide, boxy grin.
"Fine. No new piercing! But come to the shop with me and meet Jeongguk. He's really sweet and cute, and you'll get along great."
Namjoon sighs, conceding to Taehyung because he can never actually say no to him. "Fine. I will come watch your new boyfriend stab a hole through you. And that's all."
Taehyung's grin spreads wider, and he spins again, leading the way to the tattoo shop. Namjoon takes a few wide steps to fall into place beside Taehyung, and they walk the rest of the short trip in silence.
Tumblr media
Namjoon has never been to a tattoo shop before. The idea of getting a hole anywhere but in his ears makes him squirm, and he's not sure he can commit to something permanent on his skin.
And, in the childish corner of Namjoon’s mind, he’s always assumed that the people who run tattoo shops are intimidating. He likes to envision them all listening to aggressive music and driving motorcycles, and putting out cigarettes on their tongues. It doesn't help that, while growing up, people on TV with tattoos were typically associated with gangs. Sure, some of the folks he works with have tattoos because they’re in style now, but he expects shops to be cigarette smoke-filled, dimly lit dens of debauchery. That, and Namjoon has always had an overactive imagination.
So when Taehyung pushes open the door to the tattoo shop, causing a loud bell to jingle overhead, and a baby-faced man with wide eyes and slightly protruding front teeth looks up at them, Namjoon feels silly for his preconceived notions. He had worried he would be dressed too casually in his plain navy tee untucked over faded blue jeans, and his dirty blond mullet left shaggy and unstyled.
But despite the shop having a darker interior with black furniture, and maroon red walls, the space is open and welcoming, and there's artwork littered practically from floor to ceiling. Most notably, the man behind the counter looks more like an adorable bunny rabbit than a man from all the old gangster films. Not to mention, the music in the shop is sad boy pop.
"Taehyungah!" the man sings in a sweet voice as he stands from his chair and walks from behind a counter.
He swims in his clothing—which is black from head to toe—and has a piercing in his eyebrow and lip and tattoos on one hand that seem to disappear up his sleeve. There's an innocence to him that makes Namjoon want to place him into his palm and stick him in his pocket. Except the man is nearly the same height as Namjoon, and his shoulders are nearly as broad.
Taehyung blushes and greets the man with a hug, then turns to Namjoon and says, "Hyung, this is Jeongguk!"
Of course, this is Jeongguk, Namjoon thinks. Although he's a little surprised that Taehyung—whose closet is mostly comprised of earth and jewel tones—has taken an interest in someone who appears to have clothing in no tones at all, there's a sweetness to Jeongguk that Namjoon imagines Taehyung must be drawn to.
"N-namjoon-ssi, it's so nice to meet you," Jeongguk says softly, bowing his head as they shake hands. "Tae has told me a lot about you."
Namjoon suddenly feels a bit shy, and he can feel himself blushing. "Please, call me hyung. I hope Tae has said good things."
At this, Jeongguk's face brightens, and he smiles widely. Then he chuckles and mutters, "Only good things, I promise."
They're taken behind the counter, to the right side corner, where Taehyung sits on a large black leather chair that resembles one you might sit in at a barber shop. Jeongguk sits on a small leather stool and offers an identical stool to Namjoon, where he sits near the wall and out of the way. They chit-chat a bit before Taehyung decides he wants his belly button pierced.
With a playful sigh, Jeongguk makes Taehyung get up from the chair and lay on a leather cot, which he first puts a protective paper cloth over, and then he gets to work setting everything up. Namjoon glances around the space and notices, in the far corner near a desk, the walls are covered in various paintings that stand out from the rest of the art scattered around, and framed sheets of what he assumes are tattoo designs.
"Whose are all those?" Namjoon asks, staring at a large painting of bright pink and red peonies with a black snake twisting around them. Although the design is on paper, painted with what appears to be some kind of watercolors, it seems to be done as if it could be tattooed, with minimal use of colors, and the absence of ink in the lines between the thick black scales of the snake. Namjoon finds it stunning.
"Ah, those are Yoongi hyung's paintings," Jeongguk responds. "He's the owner of the shop and the resident tattoo artist."
"Ah," Namjoon says, almost under his breath. He would like to ask where this Yoongi hyung is as his eyes move to a traditional Korean tiger painting. He can't help but wonder what the man who can create such beautiful pieces must be like. But he doesn't ask.
Luckily, Taehyung is nosey, and he speaks for Namjoon. "Where is Yoongi hyung anyway?"
"I think he has an appointment in twenty minutes," Jeongguk responds, and Namjoon perks up. He can't imagine it takes more than five minutes to pierce a belly button, but perhaps they can find some reason to stick around, provided Jeongguk doesn't have an appointment with someone else then, too.
Namjoon shakes his head a bit, trying to knock around his thoughts and clear his mind. He has no idea what this Yoongi guy is like, so why is he suddenly so eager to meet him? Part of him wonders if he's as pretty and soft-spoken as Jeongguk.
Not that Namjoon is actively seeking someone to date. Dating is often not careful, measured or intentional. Dating is a whirlwind of feelings and walking on eggshells and second-guessing...dating is impulsive, and impulsive is horrifying.
But Namjoon also thinks he might like to have someone new in his life. He sees the way Taehyung smiles with Jeongguk, and he feels an ache for that certain something that he's missing.
And now Namjoon is projecting his thoughts on a person who may as well not even exist because for all Namjoon knows, Yoongi could be the aggressive music liking, motorcycle riding, tongue ashtray kind of guy, and Namjoon is just assuming that the person who makes such pretty art would also be pretty. Namjoon is spiraling.
A hiss and a groan break Namjoon from his thoughts, and he turns to see Taehyung with his face all screwed up from pain. Jeongguk is pulling jewelry through the new hole while extracting the needle, and Namjoon is doing his best not to watch too intently for fear of feeling queasy. He really does not understand all of this body modification stuff.
Jeongguk finishes up and helps Taehyung stand. Although the piercing took practically no time at all, Taehyung seems a little dazed getting onto his feet. He checks the piercing out in a full-length mirror, then turns to Namjoon with a wide smile. The piercing looks cute. Dangling in his belly button is a little sun, and Namjoon gives Taehyung an approving thumbs-up.
"Anything for you, hyung?" Jeongguk asks, and Namjoon turns his gaze to find Jeongguk cleaning off the leather cot Taehyung was just on. Namjoon chuckles and shakes his head, and Taehyung answers for him, "Namjoon doesn't do impulsive."
"Shame," Jeongguk mutters. "You'd look great with a lip ring. Maybe a hoop right in the center."
Taehyung clears his throat and whines, "Hey, stop thinking about how full and luscious hyung's lips are!"
Namjoon doesn't miss the way Jeongguk begins to blush as he quickly turns away and continues to clean. Taehyung rolls his shirt up and steals a hair tie from around Jeongguk's wrist to tie the fabric that he's bunched up in the back, and then he struts in front of the mirror a little more. Namjoon checks the clock. It's only been 5 minutes.
"It looks really pretty, Tae," Namjoon says. "I can see why you like to get piercings."
Taehyung doesn't have too many piercings—they're mostly in his ears with the exception of this new one—but several of the holes in his ears came from Jeongguk's skilled hands over the last few weeks, and Taehyung keeps talking about wanting to come back for more.
"It's not just that," Taehyung says with a shy smile.
Namjoon glances between Taehyung and Jeongguk, who both share a glance. "Wh-what is it then?"
Jeongguk clears his throat and turns away, and Taehyung chews on the inside of his mouth as he chooses his words. "It's...thrilling, I guess. The pain does something to my brain and makes it all...tingly."
"Like an endorphin rush?" Namjoon asks.
Taehyung nods and turns back to the mirror to admire himself. Namjoon opens his mouth to make fun of Taehyung for getting piercings just to feel gratification when the bell connected to the door jingles and someone walks into the shop, cutting Namjoon off from his thoughts.
Jeongguk stands to see who it is, then mutters, "Ah, it's just him," as he goes back to cleaning rather than greeting the visitor.
A man in a white long-sleeve tee walks in. He has straight black hair that falls just below his ears, with the top pulled into a bun, and pale skin with contrasting sharp and soft features. Namjoon thinks he's absolutely breathtaking. He assumes the guy is in to see Jeongguk, to get a piercing, and Namjoon wonders what he may be getting.
Then the man walks behind the counter holding bags of what appear to be takeout containers, and Namjoon notices that, on the side of his neck, he has the same peony design as the one hanging in Yoongi's workspace, as well as a piercing in his eyebrow and in the center of his lip. He's so pretty in such a natural, effortless way that Namjoon can't help but stare as he gets closer.
"Should have told me Tae was in today; I would have grabbed more," the man says in a voice so deep Namjoon thinks he could drown. There's a rasp along the edges that causes each word to snag and get caught in the recesses of his mind.
The man walks past Namjoon to check out Jeongguk's handiwork, tilting his head and giving a nod and hum that seems to be approving. Then he continues on to the desk in the corner, and that's when it finally hits Namjoon. And it’s obvious, really. This man is Yoongi hyung.
"We're just finishing up anyway, hyung," Jeongguk responds, standing from his workstation to join Taehyung near the mirror.
“I was going to take hyung to the chicken spot around the corner anyway,” Taehyung says, turning to flash Namjoon a wide, boxy smile.
At this, Yoongi turns around and looks at Namjoon. His eyes widen for a split moment that makes something in Namjoon’s stomach do a somersault, and then he lifts one large hand and gives a smile that’s more or less a straight line.
“Hey, didn’t see ya there. I’m Yoongi.”
“Namjoon,” he responds, holding a hand at half-mast before dropping it to his lap the second Yoongi turns back around and unpacks the boxes of food he brought. The smell of something savory begins to fill the room, and that, mixed with nausea caused by whatever the fuck this man’s presence is doing to Namjoon’s insides, has him eager to get the fuck out of there as soon as possible.
Luckily Taehyung is hungry and eagerly skips to the exit after a sweet but brief goodbye. Namjoon waves to Jeongguk with a smile and follows behind his best friend, feeling glad to put the tattoo shop behind him.
Tumblr media
Over the next few weeks, Taehyung goes to the shop to get more piercings. Usually, it's something cute in a weird spot on one of his ears, and once, it's a ring through his lip on the side that won't likely get caught in the ring on Jeongguk's lip.
Taehyung always invites Namjoon to tag along, and Namjoon always accepts. On the days Yoongi isn't around, Namjoon likes to sit and look at his art and study the lines and shapes and colors, admiring each little detail.
But on the fateful days Yoongi is around, Namjoon sneaks glances and even tries to think of small things to say. Yoongi smiles and waves at him from his workstation and takes breaks from what he's tattooing to look at whatever new piercing Jeongguk gives Taehyung, and stand in Namjoon’s personal bubble. They don't speak to each other very much, but Yoongi is always polite and asks Namjoon how he's doing.
Namjoon can't get enough.
Tumblr media
“I’ve been giving it some thought, and…I think I want to get a tattoo.”
Taehyung looks up from his bowl of udon with noodles dangling from his mouth. He gawks at Namjoon as if what he’s just said was spoken in a language he barely understands.
“You what?” Taehyung mutters as he slurps the food into his mouth.
It’s been three days since Namjoon last stepped foot in the tattoo shop. Three weeks and two days since he first stepped foot. He hasn’t been able to stop thinking about Yoongi. Yoongi’s voice. Yoongi’s face. Yoongi’s artwork. He wonders what it would be like to be in such close proximity to Yoongi as he lets the heavy warmth of his gloved hands rest against him while he permanently etches something just as pretty as he is into Namjoon’s skin.
“You don’t do impulsive,” Taehyung reminds him.
Namjoon hums and nods and stirs his chopsticks around in own bowl of udon. “I don’t know, I just think…I like the pieces Yoongi hyung has hanging on his wall. Especially his flowers. I’m always in nature, wouldn’t a flower tattoo be nice?”
“Should get a crab,” Taehyung responds with another mouthful of noodles.
“So you can tell everyone I have crabs?” Namjoon deadpans, and Taehyung’s face lights up. “Yeah, that’s not going to happen.”
Taehyung shrugs and takes a drink of his beer. “Are you sure you don’t want to go back there because Yoongi hyung is pretty?” There’s a playfulness to Taehyung’s voice that makes Namjoon sneer.
Namjoon grumbles, “And why would that be the reason?” but he can feel his cheeks warm, and judging by the wide, rectangular grin Taehyung’s mouth is forming, Namjoon guesses his face is just as pink.
“Because he is attractive,” Taehyung responds, rolling his eyes. “And he’s your type.”
“My type?” Taehyung nods at Namjoon’s question with a wide, incredulous stare. “What is my type, hmm?”
Taehyung twists his lips in thought, then smiles. “He just has this vibe about him that I know you’d like. Grumpy but secretly really sweet. Hardworking but social and fun when he wants. Quiet until you get him talking.”
Namjoon thinks on it, and although he does find all of that appealing, he's just never thought he had a type before.
“He’s also a bit of a freak,” Taehyung mutters into a bite of noodles, wiggling his eyebrows up and down.
Namjoon does his best to play it cool and not allow that information to affect him too openly as he asks, “And just what do you mean by that?”
With another grin and a shrug, Taehyung says, “You should find out!”
Tumblr media
Taehyung takes the lead in contacting Jeongguk to discuss the possibility of an appointment with Yoongi. Namjoon feels this is probably not the ideal way to handle this kind of situation, but he also worries he would have no idea how to actually talk to Yoongi.
Sure, he’s a normal guy who happens to be pierced and tattooed and has a voice as deep as the ocean. He is also the prettiest person Namjoon has ever set his sights on, and it makes him anxious. It’s been five days since Namjoon last stepped foot in the tattoo shop, and the more he thinks about Yoongi, the more nervous he becomes at the prospect of seeing him again.
He’s on his way home from work when his phone buzzes. Being late in the evening, Namjoon anticipates it will be Taehyung and is surprised to find a text from an unknown number. Namjoon stops in his tracks in the middle of the sidewalk. Immediately his stomach drops, and his hands begin to sweat.
[unknown] Hey, it’s Yoongi. Jeongguk said you might wanna get some ink.
Namjoon stares at his phone, processing the words as they ricochet from his eyes to his brain and back again. The message is innocuous, yet he’s nervous to respond for fear of being too uncool or...something...he isn't even sure. He swallows a lump in his throat and—
Namjoon Hey! Yeah, I’ve been admiring the art on your walls, and I think I would really like to get a flower done.
[unknown] What kind of flower?
Namjoon Maybe a sunflower? If you think it would go well with my skin tone.
[unknown] Anything would go well with your skin tone ;] When are you free?
Namjoon tells himself not to overthink the winking emoji as he saves Yoongi's number into his phone. No good will come from overthinking something as benign as a winking emoji.
Namjoon I'm free evenings, typically. But I have a flexible schedule and can come in any time.
Yoongi 🌻 Come for a consultation tomorrow evening? Anytime is fine. I own the shop...I can keep it open as late as I want.
Namjoon Sure. I'm off at 5, so I could be there at 6?
Yoongi 🌻 Perfect! See you then, Namjoon!
Tumblr media
Returning to the tattoo shop without Taehyung is nerve-wracking enough, but even more so because Taehyung is out to dinner with Jeongguk, leaving the shop presumably empty. Well, empty of everyone but Yoongi, of course.
The familiar bell on the front entrance rings loudly as Namjoon enters, forcing his heart to hammer even harder in his chest. Yoongi sits at the front counter, and he raises his gaze with a sleepy smile, eyes turning into dark crescents as he raises his hand to wave hello.
Yoongi's hair is pulled back on top again, with the rest hanging straight in the back. He wears silver hoops in four ear holes, with a matching silver hoop in his lip and a silver barbell in his eyebrow. The pink and red peonies stand out against his pale skin, and Namjoon fights to find even a single word to break the silence and stop staring at him. Then Yoongi stands, and Namjoon's brain short-circuits more.
"Come on in," Yoongi says, waving Namjoon over with a heavily tattooed hand and arm.
Yoongi wears an oversized black Mastermind tee, and as Namjoon gets closer, he finds gorgeous tattoos covering Yoongi's hands and arms. Traditional animal designs, flowers, and so many more things he can't begin to identify as he tears his gaze away from Yoongi's arm and tries to focus on his devastatingly pretty face instead.
Namjoon leans against the counter with his hands crossed in front of his chest and glances over at several doodles of sunflowers that Yoongi must have been working on. He can't help but smile at the sight of such simple yet beautiful designs, and when he looks up, Yoongi seems to be studying him with his head cocked to the side.
"Is this your first tattoo?" Yoongi asks, much softer and lower than before.
"Y-yes. I'm not really the body modification type, but I saw your paintings, and I..." Namjoon trails off, studying each design.
"What does the sunflower mean to you?" Yoongi asks after a pause.
Namjoon smiles softly to himself. "I've just always been drawn to them. Their simple beauty, and how they're always seeking the sun, following its warmth."
"Is there a sun you're seeking, Namjoon?" Yoongi asks with a smirk.
Namjoon's head spins, and he forces himself to look away from Yoongi's mouth. He nibbles his bottom lip and, with a smile, says, "Always."
Silence settles between them. It feels heavy but not stifling; calm and comforting. Namjoon likes Yoongi's quiet nature and feels at ease, thankful to not feel forced to think of something to say.
"Where would you like it?" Yoongi asks.
Namjoon's brain scrambles, only producing static where the context to Yoongi's question should be found, and he looks at Yoongi with wide, confused eyes, uttering, "Hmm?"
A small smile creeps over Yoongi's mouth, and his lips move as if he's attempting to conceal it before saying, "The tattoo."
"Ah—" Namjoon clears his throat and chuckles, feeling his cheeks warm. "Right. I was thinking...um...don't laugh, okay?"
Now Namjoon's cheeks are really beginning to warm, and Yoongi's soft, welcoming smile is not helping.
"I won't laugh at your choice, I promise. Chances are I have a tattoo in the exact spot."
Namjoon lets his eyes drift down to Yoongi's neck, arms and hands, and he wonders where else he has pretty designs.
"True," he concedes. "Well, I was thinking about getting it on my ankle. On the side or the back...or even the front...it doesn't matter, as long as the placement is nice. I trust you to know what to do."
Yoongi nods and chuckles and Namjoon feels a bubbling of apprehension at his response. He doesn't think Yoongi is laughing at him, but the man is a bit hard to read, so he's not sure.
"Ankle is a fine place; I have both of mine covered in tattoos. I only laugh because the ankle is a bit...spicy...for a first-timer."
"Spicy?" Namjoon asks, leaning in as if he's misheard.
Yoongi nods. "Spicy. Lots of bone and tendon and not a lot of muscle or fat. I find fat is easiest to tattoo; some people feel a lot of pain on muscle, and others think it's easier to take. Bone and tendon always suck."
Namjoon hums and nods, sort of understanding what Yoongi is talking about. "I have a fair pain tolerance," he assures him, remembering what Taehyung said about the endorphins of getting pierced and his own personal experience with enjoying pain sexually. It's not something he's really explored, but it is something that he knows about himself.  
A flash of something glimmers in Yoongi's eyes, but before Namjoon can attempt to decode it, Yoongi looks down to his doodles and picks the sheet up, resting it on the upper counter in front of Namjoon.
Yoongi rounds the side of the counter and leans against it on his elbows, getting into Namjoon's personal space, and Namjoon takes a small step to the side as if to give Yoongi more room, despite liking the close proximity. There's a faint musk and hint of sweet, woody cologne that Namjoon finds attractive.
"These," Yoongi says, pointing to three designs," would be fine anywhere. They don't have a stem, so we wouldn't have to worry about that resting on your body in a weird way. The others, with stems, would probably look best on the back of your ankle, with the stem pointing down along your achilles tendon. It would give the design a bit of a symmetric quality."
"And if I wanted to heed your advice about spice level and decided it would be best to put this on my buttcheek?" Namjoon asks, already regretting his words as they pour from his mouth, making him feel even more embarrassed for himself.
Yoongi laughs, a light, breathy sound, and says, "Then I would recommend picking a design with no stem."
"No stem, got it," Namjoon chuckles, holding back a grin. He forgoes asking Yoongi if he happens to also have tattoos in that location.

Namjoon I have a tattoo appointment at 6 PM on Friday. You should come for moral support. I'm gonna need it.
Tae Tae 🎁 I was going to have Ggukie pierce my nipples Friday at 4, so I'll see if we can push the appointment for later!
Namjoon Wow, nipples. You guys are getting pretty serious, I take it.
Tae Tae 🎁 ;)
Tumblr media
Taehyung is already at the café when Namjoon shows up. Both Namjoon and Taehyung like to use sweets as a way to calm their nerves, so naturally, they agreed to meet up at a spot several blocks from the tattoo shop for a snack.
The bakery of this particular shop has Namjoon's favorite coffee cake and Taehyung's favorite strawberry danish, and Namjoon finds Taehyung sitting at a corner table with Namjoon’s coffee cake on a plate and what he assumes is a medium hot chocolate, despite it still being warm enough outside for cold drinks.
Taehyung appears as eccentric as ever in a flowy, oversized paisley short-sleeved shirt consisting of tans, browns and greens. Namjoon, on the other hand, wears an oversized grey tee, dark grey cargo shorts, the lowest cut socks he could find in case Yoongi doesn’t want to be faced with his bare feet, and some slip-off shoes, to be safe.
Taehyung glances up and waves, sending Namjoon his winning boxy smile, and Namjoon makes his way over and sits in front of his treats.
"Thank you, Tae," Namjoon mutters as he lifts his still-warm coffee cake to his lips.
"It's a big day, so I thought I would treat," Taehyung responds with a grin.
Namjoon scoffs and mutters, "It's just a tattoo," as he removes the lid from his cup of hot chocolate, lifts it to his lips and blows into it to cool it down.
"Exactly!" Taehyung beams, shifting forward with his elbows on the small wooden table, cradling his paper cup in his fingers. "It is just a tattoo. And you are not a just-a-tattoo kind of man. Something has changed."
Taehyung wiggles his fingers as if some witchcraft has made Namjoon into a new person and he scoffs and rolls his eyes.
"What can I say," Namjoon struggles to reason, "Yoongi hyung is very talented."
One of Taehyung's eyebrows lifts, and Namjoon averts his gaze back to his coffee cake, then he glances around the quaint, minimally decorated café. He can feel warmth tickle at his cheeks, and he does his best to think about literally anything but Yoongi.
"So you met Yoongi hyung the other day for a consultation?" Taehyung presses, voice deep yet soft as if they're exchanging secrets.
"I did," Namjoon responds shortly, pulling his cake to his mouth.
Taehyung hums then continues, leaning in closer and dropping his voice to an even softer utterance. "He kept the shop open late just for you. And he's doing it again today."
"Oh?" Namjoon asks, purposefully not meeting his friend's gaze.
Taehyung hums again in confirmation. "Interesting, isn't it? That Yoongi hyung would go out of his way just for little ol' you?"
Namjoon finally looks Taehyung in the eye with his mouth pulled in a straight line and his eyebrows raised. "He told me it was fine to schedule late because he owns the shop and makes his own rules, Tae. It's hardly a big deal."
A smirk tugs at Taehyung's mouth, making Namjoon squint. "Yoongi hyung doesn't keep the shop open late, hyung. He sets very firm boundaries and sticks to them. This is...shocking, quite frankly."
Shocking. Pffft, how dramatic. Namjoon shakes his head and returns to finish his treat; they have to get going pretty soon to make their appointments on time.
By the time they finish at the café and make it to the shop, it's 5:57 PM. The loud bell on the front door makes Namjoon's already shaky nerves go haywire, and he takes a deep breath in and pushes it out through his nose, doing his best to calm himself down. Jeongguk is behind the counter, and he stands to greet them.
"Tae! Namjoon hyung! Welcome back!" Jeongguk is in his same all-black attire, and he rounds the counter and prances over to pull Namjoon into a brief but friendly unsuspecting hug before letting Taehyung paw at him. Jeongguk blushes and pulls from Taehyung's eager hands, which Namjoon finds extremely cute, though he does his best not to watch them too much, feeling like a third wheel.
"Yoongi hyung is still on his way, but you can come back with us while I set up my station," Jeongguk tells Namjoon.
Namjoon accepts and follows the boys back, taking the same seat he took last time. Although he's there to see Yoongi, he doesn't want to impose on his space and sit closer to his workstation. Jeongguk begins to pull out various metal instruments and set them onto a paper towel that's laid out over a small metal table.
At 6 PM on the dot, the bell on the front door jingles loudly, and Yoongi walks in carrying another plastic bag full of takeout containers. In his other hand is a drink tray with four cups and Namjoon gets to his feet quickly to rush over and help him with everything.
"Here, let me take this," Namjoon mutters, reaching over the counter as he rounds it.
Yoongi mutters, "You don't need to do that," but allows Namjoon to take it anyway, smiling as he sets the plastic bag on the counter. Then Yoongi gets to work figuring out which cup is for whom and pulling them from the tray.
"Jeongguk mentioned Taehyung doesn't drink coffee, so I got him a warm apple cider. And he mentioned that Taehyung said you like chocolate mocha lattes with whipped cream, so I brought you one."
Namjoon pauses before reaching and taking the latte. Although he's already had his fill of sweet, warm drinks, he feels pleased to be receiving another, and he brings it to his lips to inhale the rich warmth that spills in a plume of steam through the small hole on the lid.
"You didn't have to," Namjoon mutters, gazing at Yoongi before letting his eyes fall back to the paper travel cup in his hands.
"Of course I didn't," Yoongi responds, and Namjoon lifts his gaze to find Yoongi smirking while he takes a drink from his own cup.
Yoongi is in the same white long sleeve tee that he wore the first time Namjoon was at the shop, and now that Namjoon isn't too shy to get a good look at him, he notices Murakami flowers going up the sleeves. He also notices—and does his best to ignore—the fact that Yoongi's hair is pulled half up once again in a cute messy bun atop his head.
"I was telling hyung how rare it is that you open the shop late," Taehyung calls.
Namjoon looks over to find Taehyung sitting with his arms crossed and a smug expression on his face. Jeongguk stands beside him, looking like a deer in headlights. A cursory glance at Yoongi shows him looking stoic and unaffected.
"A friend of Ggukie is a friend of mine," Yoongi responds with a shrug. "Besides, I never turn down the chance to blast a pretty flower onto a fresh canvas."
At this, Namjoon raises an eyebrow and says, "Is that all I am to you, hyung? A fresh canvas?"
Namjoon could swear something flashes in Yoongi's eyes as he takes a sip from his cup, but he tries not to dwell on it. He quietly reprimands himself for flirting with his tattoo artist—if that even is what he's doing.
"For now," Yoongi says after a beat and walks around Namjoon, around the counter, back to his workstation, leaving Namjoon to stand feeling a mess of feelings he struggles with identifying—dumbfounded being at the forefront.
"What's in the bag, hyung?" Jeongguk asks, likely referring to the plastic bag Yoongi left on the counter.
Namjoon turns and joins everyone, approaching Yoongi's corner this time. There's a long, straight leather table beside Yoongi's desk, and Yoongi covers it with a white paper cloth that you'd find on the exam table in a doctor's office.
"Just snacks for later," Yoongi responds to Jeongguk, keeping his attention on his task. Yoongi uses clear tape to affix the edges of the paper to the leather table, and Namjoon watches every movement his large pale hands and long knobby fingers make. "I brought enough for everyone, but if you guys have plans for later, it's cool."
When Namjoon looks back up, Yoongi watches him with a calm, soft smile. His stomach does a familiar somersault, and Namjoon turns to Taehyung, who is to his right and slightly behind him, and Taehyung shrugs and shakes his head.
"We don't have any plans," Namjoon responds, turning back to Yoongi. "I would be honored to share snacks with you, hyung."
Yoongi smirks and cocks an eyebrow. "It's the least I can do," he says, tapping the leather table twice to motion for Namjoon to sit, "since I'm going to hurt you a little."
Namjoon sits, and thank goodness, because with the way Yoongi's words, face and voice swim around in his mind, he is suddenly feeling quite light on his feet. Yoongi reaches for Namjoon's latte and sets it on his desk, and Namjoon grips onto the side of the leather table as he takes a deep breath in and out to steady his pounding heart.
"Should I take off my shoes?" Namjoon asks.
"Yeah, shoes off and, just to be safe, roll your sock down to the middle of your foot."
Namjoon does as he's told, then spins on the leather table until he's on his stomach, facing Taehyung and Jeongguk. Yoongi hands Namjoon a pillow that's wrapped in the same type of cloth paper as the table, and Namjoon hugs it under his chest and head.
"No need to squeeze the life out of the poor thing just yet," Yoongi says from Namjoon's left. "I'm going to get your skin wet, place the design down to see how it looks, and then you and I are going to scrutinize it until it's absolutely perfect."
"Sounds good," Namjoon mutters, still nervous despite the lack of pain on the immediate horizon.
Namjoon looks ahead and watches Jeongguk set up everything needed to pierce Taehyung. It seems like they're taking their time, probably since the tattoo is expected to take much longer. Although he's not intently watching the two of them, he can tell there's really sweet chemistry between them, for which he's glad. Taehyung, with all his strange little quirks, deserves someone just as adorable and weird.
Gloved fingers stroke Namjoon's ankle, down toward his foot, and he tries not to tremble too much despite the light tickling sensation that prickles across his skin. He turns his head to the left in an effort to get more comfortable and notices a full-length mirror on the wall, through which he can see Yoongi holding a piece of paper over his ankle and studying it as if deciding where to place it.
Yoongi hums a deep, elongated sound that makes every nerve on Namjoon's body respond, then he drawls, "I think this would look good on the inside, actually. Can I try placing it there?"
"Of course," Namjoon says as he turns onto his side and awkwardly spreads his legs so his ankle lays flat. "You're the artist, hyung."
Yoongi chuckles. "I appreciate the confidence, but this is your skin, and if all goes according to plan, this process will be permanent, so I want to make sure you're satisfied."
Namjoon attempts to ignore the myriad thoughts of just how Yoongi could satisfy him and focus on the task at hand. Now that he's on the side, he can look at Yoongi without having to use the mirror, and he smiles.
"I'm sure I'll love it."
It's a delicate process as Yoongi shaves the area of the ankle, wets the skin, and hovers the paper over as he squints, nibbles on his bottom lip, and contemplates where to put it. Then, Yoongi nods to himself, places the design and soothes it out with a warm, gloved hand before slowly lifting the paper off to assess his stencil.
"I think I got it on the first try, but have a look and tell me how you feel," Yoongi says happily as he gently sets the paper onto his workstation.
Namjoon sits up and swings his legs over the edge of the table, feeling his heart pound as he glances at the purple sunflower outline on his ankle. It seems much bigger now that he sees it on his skin, and he stands to walk over to the full-length mirror and check out how it would look from a distance.
The flower sits above the joint, and it's visible but easily concealed. Namjoon tries to imagine it colored in and admires Yoongi's handiwork on the petal shapes. He squats down and checks it out up close, and decides it's perfect.
"I think you got it on the first try too," Namjoon says, standing and turning back to Yoongi.
Yoongi is squirting ink in black, white, yellows, greens, and browns into small plastic cups that are stuck with some goopy substance on his metal work table. He wipes the tip of a yellow ink bottle off and sets it aside, then looks up at Namjoon with a smile.
"Glad to hear that," Yoongi says, then he puts his ink bottles away and walks to his desk, opens an ornate wooden box and takes out his tattoo gun. Namjoon notices the small machine is a solid rose gold that matches some of the pink shades in Yoongi's peony tattoo.
As Yoongi finishes setting everything up, Namjoon returns to the leather table and sits. His eyes scan over everything, and he swallows a lump in his throat; he cannot believe this is really happening.
"Ready?" Yoongi asks as he pulls off his black latex gloves. "Or would you like to have some water or use the bathroom or anything?"
"I think I'm good to start if you are," Namjoon responds, though he is quickly becoming terrified of the whole ordeal.
Yoongi grabs more gloves from his box, smirks and says, "Alright, sunshine. Let's get started."
"Sunshine, hmm?" Namjoon mutters, feeling himself blush. "Aren't I the one seeking the sun?"
"I suppose that's true." Yoongi chuckles and nods. "Alright, sun seeker, lay down for me."
Namjoon does as he's told, laying on his side and spreading his legs, so the side of his ankle is facing upward. Yoongi sits on a stool near his feet and waits patiently for Namjoon to get into position, then uses one hand to press down against Namjoon's ankle.
"Is this okay?" Yoongi asks. "Or will it get uncomfortable?"
Namjoon adjusts just slightly until it is, in fact, comfortable. "That's good."
"Alright, let's do this!" Yoongi exclaims with a smile. He presses his foot on a button that makes his tattoo gun buzz to life as if revving a car's engine and looks at Namjoon expectantly. Then, he laughs and shakes his head. "You look nervous."
"I am very nervous," Namjoon admits, letting out a humorless chuckle.
Yoongi places his hand on Namjoon's calf and gives it a gentle squeeze. "The most important thing is that you remember to breathe and try your best to relax. But also talk to me. If you need a break at any point, we'll stop. I have also found that chewing candy can help sometimes, so if you'd like my king-sized bag of gummy worms, just say the word."
"C-can I have the gummies just in case?" Namjoon asks with a cheeky smile.
"Ggukie, will you grab the bag so I don't have to change my gloves again?"
Namjoon had actually forgotten Taehyung and Jeongguk were in the room. They both have been so soft-spoken that their conversation blended into the sad boy background music.
Jeongguk walks to Yoongi's desk, opens a drawer and takes out a large bag of gummies. He undoes a plastic clip that holds the bag closed and brings it over to Namjoon.
"Try not to eat them all," Jeongguk says with a smirk. "Hyung keeps them around because he—"
"Quit smoking and it helps to suck on the candies," Yoongi interrupts at the same time Jeongguk says, "—has an oral fixation."
Namjoon actively ignores the entire exchange and simply nods his head and mutters, "Thanks," before shoving a gummy into his mouth and allowing the cherry flavor to assist with calming his nerves.
Yoongi places his hand on Namjoon's ankle, presses the button to make the tattoo machine come to life, and Namjoon takes a deep, shaky breath. Namjoon could watch Yoongi, but he chooses to shut his eyes and assess the pain level before getting too comfortable.
"Touching skin, sun seeker," Yoongi sing-songs. "Let out the breath that I know you're holding in."
Namjoon exhales as the faintest scratch runs along his ankle in what feels like a very small area. He opens his eyes and twists, trying to get a look at it, and sure enough, a very thin grey line is laid down. Namjoon lifts his gaze to Yoongi, who appears to be waiting for his feedback.
"That wasn't so bad," Namjoon says, suddenly feeling silly for being so anxious.
Yoongi smiles. "Glad to hear it. These lines are all going to be pretty thin, so the first layer won't feel too bad. Once I add color, it'll get a little spicier, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
Namjoon settles back down, and Yoongi gets to work on the rest of the outline. He's not sure how much time passes as he watches Yoongi dip the tip of the tattoo gun into ink and bring it to his skin, over and over. When Yoongi squirts liquid onto the lines and wipes them with a napkin, he knits his eyebrow and sometimes tongues the inside of his cheek, which Namjoon finds endearing. He likes watching Yoongi at work.
Behind Namjoon, there's a hiss and a moan, and Yoongi chuckles and shakes his head. Namjoon watches as Yoongi squirts liquid onto the tattoo, wipes it off and sits back, stretching his neck from side to side.
"Have a look," Yoongi says, nodding his chin to Namjoon's ankle, and Namjoon looks up to find the completed outline and other small grey details.
"Wow, hyung," Namjoon mutters, shifting his weight so he can sit up with his leg bent. "This is...you are so talented."
Yoongi stands and takes his gloves off, tosses them into the trash, then he clears his throat before saying, "It's just the outline," under his breath. Namjoon can't tell if Yoongi is shy from the compliment, but he finds it very sweet.
"It's a very good outline," Namjoon insists, watching as Yoongi grabs Namjoon's latte and brings it to him.
"Gonna take a quick break and suck on some gummy worms so I don't go have a smoke," Yoongi says as he reaches into the bag of candies. "Feel free to walk around if you'd like."
There's another hiss and moan from Jeongguk's corner of the room, and Namjoon reluctantly turns to see what's going on before realizing—thankfully—that those were just the sounds of Jeongguk piercing Taehyung's nipples.
Taehyung sits with his paisley shirt hanging open, with his head back and eyes closed as Jeongguk threads a bar through Taehyung's nipple using the end of the piercing needle as a guide. His other nipple is red and pierced, and from where Namjoon is sitting, it appears that Jeongguk has done a really good job.
The loud bell on the front door chimes, and Namjoon follows the sound, realizing Yoongi had walked outside. He stands from the leather cot, feeling sore in the ankle and walks over to Jeongguk's corner.
"Does he go outside and pretend to smoke the gummies too?" Namjoon asks before taking a sip of his latte. Even now that it's room temperature, it hits the spot.
Jeongguk giggles and shakes his head. "Hyung just likes the fresh air. And he likes being alone for a little bit."
Namjoon had considered getting some fresh air too, but since Jeongguk mentioned he likes to be alone, he decides against it. Taehyung sits up in his chair and admires his new piercings in a mirror. Namjoon thinks they look good against his tan skin.
"Let's see your flower, hyung," Taehyung says with an expectant smile, and Namjoon turns his leg to give them a look at it.
Jeongguk gets closer and squats. "Wow," he says, elongating the word. "Hyung is good at what he does."
"I can't wait to see it colored in," Taehyung says, leaning forward to get a closer look.
Jeongguk's phone dings and he pulls it from his pocket, reads his message and tries to stifle a smile. Then he leans to whisper something to Taehyung, and Namjoon tries not to feel self-conscious about the fact that they're telling secrets until Taehyung's gaze flickers over to him for a split second, and he definitely gets nervous.
Namjoon squints and cocks his head at the boys, making a mental note to ask Taehyung about it later. Then the bell on the front door dings loudly, and Yoongi shuts the door and locks it behind him.
"Ready for more, sun seeker?" Yoongi asks as he returns.
"Absolutely, hyung," Namjoon responds with a smile. He's not sure why the silly nickname makes him feel so giddy, but every time Yoongi says it, he feels more and more warmth bloom in his chest.
Namjoon gets back to his place on the table, hugging the bag of gummies as Yoongi washes his hands and puts on a clean set of gloves. Then he watches as Yoongi removes the old needle from the tattoo gun and adds a different one.
Yoongi notices Namjoon's curious gaze and smiles as he explains what he's doing. "These other needles have several tips, and the technique I use to add color will scratch the ink into the skin. So these stages might hurt substantially more than the outline. Especially since the skin is nice and angry."
A glance at the tattoo confirms what Yoongi refers to as angry skin. It's red and inflamed—understandable for a fresh flesh wound, Namjoon supposes. Yoongi revs up his tattoo gun once more with a wiggle of his eyebrows, and Namjoon settles down on his pillow with a smile.
Yoongi was right; the various coloring and highlighting stages hurt far more than the outline, undoubtedly because the skin is already irritated, but also because Yoongi seems to be adding highlights and shadows, going over the same spot several times. Namjoon breathes through it and finds that the pain becomes more of a dull ache at times, which is manageable.
Or perhaps the part of Namjoon's brain that enjoys pain unlocks and allows him to relax into the feeling. Whatever it may be, he spaces out, listening to the music and to Taehyung and Jeongguk talk quietly behind him, and he finds he doesn't really mind the pain. Namjoon feels like he may even be drifting to sleep when Jeongguk speaks up, pulling him from his reverie.
"Hey hyungs, some friends invited us out. Do you mind if Taehyung and I take off and meet up with them?"
Yoongi stops tattooing, and Namjoon opens his eyes to find Yoongi regarding Jeongguk with a shrug. "Sure, I don't mind. Do you mind, Namjoon?"
Namjoon tilts his head back to find Jeongguk and Taehyung standing nearby, holding hands. "I don't mind. But Yoongi hyung did bring us snacks, so just know that if you leave, you will hereby forfeit your snacks to us."
The sound of Yoongi chuckling is music to Namjoon's ears, and he does his best to hold a stern expression while staring down the boys. Taehyung rolls his eyes; meanwhile, Jeongguk looks uncertain how to respond.
"Sure, hyung," Taehyung drawls with a wave of his hand. "I hereby acknowledge my forfeiture of the snacks."
"Good," Namjoon responds. "You two have fun and be safe."
"And text us when you get to where you're going," Yoongi adds.
"Yes, dad," Taehyung and Jeongguk say in unison.
Namjoon turns to Yoongi, places a hand over his heart, and, with a dramatic sigh, says, "They grow so fast."
Yoongi pretends to wipe a tear from his eye, careful not to touch his gloved hand against his skin and says, "I'm so proud of our boys."
There's some shuffling around as Jeongguk and Taehyung presumably gather their things and leave. Yoongi gets back to work on the tattoo, and Namjoon pops a gummy into his mouth. Whatever Yoongi is working on hurts like hell.
"We can change the music if you'd like," Yoongi says, raising his eyes to Namjoon for just a second before wiping the ink away and scraping more into his skin. "It's Jeongguk's playlist."
"This is fine," Namjoon responds. "I don't really care what's on."
"Not a music guy?" Yoongi asks. There's a hint of something softer in his voice now that it's just the two of them, and Namjoon wonders if Yoongi is asking these questions to pass the time or if he's trying to get to know him.
"The opposite, really," Namjoon says. "I've always been pretty passionate about music...I even made a career out of it. But I'm open to what others are into; I don't have to listen to my favorites all time, you know? It's nice to hear what other people are obsessed with."
The tattoo gun goes silent, and Namjoon looks up to find Yoongi staring back at him. "What do you do?" he asks.
"Music producer."
Yoongi's mouth falls open, then he smiles and looks back down at his work. He dips the needles into yellow ink and goes back to tattooing. "Have I heard anything you've produced?"
Namjoon chuckles. "Yeah. Most likely."
Yoongi hums, and the edges of his mouth turn upward. "Impressive," he mutters, flicking his gaze up to Namjoon momentarily.
Silence falls between them for a little while, and Namjoon finds himself alternating between watching Yoongi and looking at the various artworks on Yoongi's walls.
"You like those peonies," Namjoon says.
"I do," Yoongi responds, not looking up from what he's doing.
"And the snake."
Yoongi hums in affirmation.
"Especially on your skin...the colors, in contrast to the black snake...it's a stunning design."
Yoongi pauses and takes a deep breath, then he squirts liquid onto the tattoo, wipes it off, and says, "All done," as his eyes drift to meet Namjoon's gaze.
"Already?" Namjoon asks.
Yoongi laughs. "Already? It's been two and a half hours. It's dark outside."
"Oh."
Another tense silence hangs between them, and Jeongguk's playlist seems to come to an end, making the tension that looms around them feel thick. Namjoon snaps out of his thoughts and sits up to look at his tattoo.
A surprised huff of air pushes from Namjoon's lungs. The tattoo is on his ankle, yet it's Namjoon's chest that aches from the sight of Yoongi's stunning work.
"It's beautiful," is all Namjoon can manage to mutter.
"You like it?" Yoongi asks, watching Namjoon with a nervous smile.
Namjoon nods, finding it hard to speak. "Ye—uh—yeah, it's...thank you, Yoongi hyung. I knew you'd do a great job, but this is...wow."
"You're sure?"
"Of course I'm sure," Namjoon blurts, sounding insistent, almost panicked. How could someone so talented second-guess himself?
"I'm glad you like it," Yoongi finally responds, busying himself by removing his gloves.
The blending of soft yellows and hints of browns—peeks of green leaves sticking out. Namjoon isn't sure what he expected when he decided he wanted a design like this, but never could he have imagined it would be like this. Yoongi is a true artist in every sense of the word, and Namjoon is absolutely smitten.
It doesn't help that Namjoon's endorphins are in high gear, buzzing through him and making him feel more alive than he's ever felt before. He understands why Taehyung returns to Jeongguk for more piercings and wonders how many times he could frequent Yoongi's leather table before the artist catches on.
"All that's left is to take a photo for the 'gram, wrap it up and eat those snacks," Yoongi says with a smile, seemingly no longer self-conscious. "Sound good?"
Namjoon nods. "Sounds great."
Yoongi wipes off the tattoo once more, takes a few shots with his phone camera and then covers it with a clear plastic bandage. He regales Namjoon with thorough instructions about aftercare and gives him a cream to use on it, telling him it's on the house since it's his first tattoo. Then, Yoongi walks to the front counter with Namjoon trailing behind, and unpacks the takeout container full of donuts and other baked goods. 
"I always get sugar cravings after getting tattoos, so I thought I would bring some sweets in case you're the same way," Yoongi explains as he picks out an orange glazed donut and lifts it to his lips.
"That's funny because Tae and I actually had sweets before coming here. For some reason, a nice hunk of coffee cake always calms my nerves."
Yoongi stops mid-bite and stares at Namjoon. "Oh shit," he mutters with donut in his mouth. "You're gonna have a sugar crash, this is terrible."
Namjoon shrugs and laughs. "It's almost my bed time anyway."
"So if I suggested we grab dinner and beers instead, you would decline my offer and go to bed?" Yoongi asks.
"Me?" Namjoon huffs incredulously. "Decline dinner and beers with you? Never."
Yoongi looks pleased, albeit a bit surprised. "Don't need you turning into a pumpkin on me."
"If I'm the princess, does that make you prince charming?" Namjoon questions with the quirk of an eyebrow, already regretting his words. He can't pinpoint what it is that makes him so eager to openly flirt with Yoongi the second the man isn't holding a gun full of needles, but he feels that, for the sake of professionalism, he should at least try to reel it in.
Yoongi, on the other hand, rolls with it and responds, "Exactly," as he ties off the plastic bag containing the donut box and sets it aside.
Tumblr media
Namjoon I think I'm in love.
Tae Tae 🎁 Wow. No way, hyung. Totally did not see that coming.
Namjoon Sarcasm? Really? Very mature.
Tae Tae 🎁 That's cute. I'm glad to see the feeling is mutual.
Namjoon Excuse me?
Tae Tae 🎁 Hmm?
Namjoon What was that?
Tae Tae 🎁 What was what?
Namjoon The feeling is mutual? What does that mean? Did Jeongguk say something to you?
Tae Tae 🎁 No idea what you're talking about. Who's Jeongguk?
Namjoon Kim Taehyung
Tae Tae 🎁 Sorry, wrong number!
Namjoon :(
Tae Tae 🎁 Are you home now?
Namjoon I am in Yoongi hyung's car.
Tae Tae 🎁 ?!?!?!?!?!
Namjoon He invited me to get dinner and beers with him.
Tae Tae 🎁 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Namjoon Is that all you can say?
Tae Tae 🎁 I have to tell Jeongguk omg omg bye!!!
"Someone's popular," Yoongi teases.
Namjoon scoffs. "It's Taehyung. He was asking what I'm up to."
Good thing the feeling is mutual. The words bounce around Namjoon's mind, and suddenly he feels incredibly antsy. He can't help but wonder if Yoongi said something to Jeongguk. He will certainly not be able to stop himself from openly flirting, especially if the feeling may be mutual. And with beer in his system? He's doomed.
"This is the spot," Yoongi says as he puts his car in park.
Namjoon takes a deep breath in, attempts to gather his thoughts, and lets the breath out. Then he undoes his seatbelt and exits Yoongi's very nice car, the make and model of which he has no comprehension of as a man who neither drives nor cares about cars.
This is fine, Namjoon tells himself. He's going to have dinner and beers with the prettiest man he's ever seen in his life. A man who gave him an endorphin high and inflicted pain on him in the form of permanently etching a work of art onto his skin. Totally fine. What could possibly go wrong?
Tumblr media
Tae's little sun piercing is a callback to an older fic of mine and has nothing to do with the sun Namjoon seeks lol. also, i have over 30 tattoos but i have never actually tattooed so i hope i did the process and lingo justice! lolol.

Just saw Benito Santos' Fall 2023 collection at Mexico Fashion Week on Vogue Runway and the whole collection is stunning go check it out but there were some pieces I saw that I think Må could wear really well
First up: Blouses
Tumblr media
Need I say anything more? One of my favorite looks they ever wore were their Belgium Ronquieres Festival in August 2021 (and not just bc Vic's boobs were out, okay) Damianos flouncy white blouse contrasted by his mullet, black leather shorts, black combat boots and large black Inan Studio belt? LOVE! I imagine these blouses being styled similarly with the belts from this collection (which remind me of that belt from that performance)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Next stop: whatever these tops are called?
They're probably hot as hell BUT I'm almost positive that they've worn some similar shit. I'm throwing this one in here not bc I'M in love with it but bc I think the band would currently wear it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Coming to a stage near you (hopefully): CAPES!
We know Damiano loves a cape, or at least if I had a penny for everytime Damiano's worn a cape I'd have two pennies. Which isn't a lot but I'm glad it's happened at least twice. I don't care that he will take this off after three songs, (wimp) I want him in a cape! Or anyone in a cape, really but he seems the most likely to wear it? Idk.
Tumblr media
Category is: the whole fit slaps & it fits Må's style
okay so we only have one contender here but whatever. Could've been put with the blouses but I'm in LOVE with this outfit so it needs its own spotlight.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Miscellaneous
Ethan got a poncho in South America, right? Give him a sparkly one with fringe now. It's maybe not a great top to drum for an hour in but hey, he could wear it for like, a 20 minute set at a radio station or something.
Second pic makes me think Vic, but I'm not in love with it
However, I am in love with these red & grey tops. Again, maybe not the best for an hour of drumming or guitar playing (and god knows Damiano's taking it off bc he always takes his top off) but it would look so fucking cool. Maybe this is another one for a short set or just a photoshoot
I know I'm focusing mostly on the tops here but all of the interesting pants in this collection would fit Damiano & Thomas really well. Damiano bc it's the only thing he's gonna be wearing for half the freaking show and Thomas bc he's the King of Interesting Pants

Started reading your fiction the other day (because like you I too gave been consumed by the silly little puppet man) and I just gotta say... 1, loving it. It pulls at my heartstrings in just the right way. However 2, I keep envisioning your Addisons looking like mine (that don't even have set names yet. I'm waiting on some polls)
I know the shouldn't look like mine (or not exactly. All of us are just interpreting the same 4 sprites anyway so like...) but like, rn I'm reading chapter 7 and I keep on seeing Audi looking like Cache/Survey (the two names being considered for my orange Addison). I know he shouldn't, however its driving me insane. So my question is, do you have any drawings or your Addisons? Maybe just some detailled descriptions? All I know is they have fur/fluff. The main thing with this is the clothing/hair. Cache/Survey has like, a bit more of a feminine look (even though they use all pronouns) and has a headband and wears like a vest like think over her dark shirt.
Idk. This is probably really silly but thought I'd ask. Anyways, back to reading.
I do sorta…It’s just vague outlines I did for body shapes and tid bits if they were humans but the body shape still applies to the ads, tho they would have the typical ad nose. Then art of Audi by @genderqueer-spamton which is pretty accurate on clothing range (still before bodies/other features are determined) (Link) (link)
In general I see both Audi and Banner as somewhat androgynous in physical appearance, style wise Banner dressing in a more neutral and academic way and neutral overall while Audi is more rustic/retro and experimental shifting between masc and femme (mostly masc tho). Surv dresses like ur typical gym bro and like casual dude, think jeans or sweats and a shirt that could be styled to meet as uniform requirements. Vidie looks more feminine physically and dresses up but it fluxes between something strictly masculine or feminine, very much street wear and Y2K stuff, with a bit of punk thrown in. Spam’s just casual kinda like Surv but with a hint of 90s flare. I never really think to describe their outfits cause I imagine they change day to day as I picture their uniforms aren’t their only outfits.
Hair and stuff I suppose it would be in the general shape of the ads hair/ head shapes in game. Banner has more curly hair, a weird mix of a bob and a curly/bouncy wolf cut, some how professional. Surv is tricky in that it’s course but shaped like in canon, I can’t really decide or describe how I see it but it fits. Vidie has a high pony tail and has wavier/thicker hair, blunt or wispy bangs when it’s not down/specifically styled. In that case she goes for curtains. Audi has corset hair he accessorizes with clips and beads and wraps or hats or whatever. Generally it just keeps its hair looking nice but it’s a day by day case. Spam has his signature weird pompadour mullet that he does very little with, it’s just naturally easy to keep neat. Thick hair but in a helmet way. Hair types usually match to the way their fur lays/feels on their body.
As for stuff on the ads as a species in general i guess the fur works in the way where the volume varies for ads but it never like super long just dense. It fades a bit around their hands which are just skin/palm textured. It also feels more staticy to lightener than soft but biologically it’s supposed to appeal to some cute/comfort thing in customers so they buy more (think seeing a fluffy dog ig). It sorta goes flat on their faces/necks or stop/stocks at the chest like chest hair to make a clear distinction of neck/face to body, hence hair vs fur. I do think they have tails but that part ain’t too important cause I don’t really write about their asses in this fic atleast and they aren’t made noticeable usually due to my ad’s cultural. They don’t have irises or the whites just pupils so they are very sensitive to sudden shifts in light.
Also don’t feel silly! I love hearing peoples interpretations of my ads, especially since it’s based around how I solely write their personalities. Even if it doesn’t match up it’s fun to hear! Also happy reading!!!

somehow, my traditional sketches get more attention than my actual art, at least from what i've experienced on twitter. just checking if tumblr would work the same.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
my first sketches I believe so? yeah
was just testing out how I would've styled these guys. never actually ended up with one particular way of drawing them, oops. except maybe red, he stayed relatively the same.
Tumblr media
cringe birb man
fun fact he was actually my favorite out of the trio when I watched the web series. idk how I feel about him now though. definitely a quirky and funky old man but he's now somewhat lower on my list of favorites? not saying I hate him, perhaps my opinion changed over the course of time.
(also idfc what yall say the found forced family dynamic is canon for me)
Tumblr media
yellow guy my beloved mwah mwah
man who would've fucking thought he is my comfort character huh (sweeps away all the fanart of him). idk he's just genuinely so relaxing to draw??? and I can infodump about how much he means to me so much but i'd rather keep the personal stuff out of this blog. he looks different in every sketch I am so sorry god. also the long haired dude with eye bags is my take on his older version yeahhhh.
Tumblr media
he has fluffy mullet deal with it :)
also as much I like the joke headcanon that red and duck are lesley's ocs I think if they were yellow's ocs instead (that lesley decided to bring to life) it would've been ten times funnier. imagine playing with your dolls and all of a sudden they start verbally and physically abusing you. rip ig.
Tumblr media
+ bonus
like father, like (adoptive) son.

I remember really loving when you would get fresh haircuts. And being attracted to you then. But then you wouldn’t get another one for months and I would loose that attraction. Like I felt you weren’t taking care of yourself. And then not being attracted to you at all when you let your mullet go.
You always found me pretty even at my lowests. Even when you came over when I was crying over a bad day at work, or maybe that was a lie because you were thinking of other people… idk.
Even so what does this say about me? Because in reality it has nothing to do with you. Plenty of other people will find you attractive when I don’t.
I wonder if you’re actually going to keep up with your new haircut. You want to dye all of it black. That’s something you’re going to have to stay on top of, you know? Otherwise it’ll look like you’re balding. And that’s something you’ve really been struggling with.
I’m so fucking sorry, I can’t imagine how much I hurt you telling you I didn’t find you attractive. Maybe you felt like taking care of yourself or doing something different wouldn’t matter anyways. I don’t know. You would never tell me any of the thoughts in your head. Which wasn’t fair because you would always press for me to say my true thoughts and feelings.

Ooooh thoughts on Nice to Meet You's ending?
bruv....real life image of me entering the comment section of the last episode:
Tumblr media
I know a lot of people feel very strongly about Nice To Meet You's ending. And well, I also have ✨opinions✨
For one, I'm not the kind of person to assume that just because a male character is on the cover, that he's going to be endgame. I had no real expectation that Daze was fated to end the series dating Mew.
Frankly, I barely found Daze engaging as a character. His most memorable moment to me was that scene where he helped Mew walk through the murder of crows to the phone booth. Butterflies ✅ invested in him as a character ❌
He's sweet enough, but overall, I thought he was kind of boring. Don't @ me but I'm pretty sure a lot of people only liked him because he was hot.
Does that mean I was Mew x Wyn shipper? Nah. That entire first season, I was extremely convinced Wyn was aroace. I should've known it was too good to be true. An equally attractive best friend to the male lead with NO interest in the female lead? We could've had it all.
I adore Wyn as a character. He's cute, fun, funny, good-looking, and supportive. His mullet is sick. His outfits are slay. He's basically perfect...but not for Mew, imo. Him falling for Mew was startling.
However, Mew is very lovable in the typical clumsy anime girl way. I just thought the story would become about her journey to self-actualization and idk...following her dreams or something. Not knocking on the romance, but season one was just so strong and handled her character so well. I was impressed that she rose above expectations and handled the theatre crush situation on her own, more or less.
But season two...girlie what even happened. It became all about her having to decide between Wyn and Daze. That would've been fine if it wasn't so heavily focused on her crushing and blushing and looking down at her shoes shyly. I didn't think Mew was weak or annoying, but the writing did her a major disservice in the second season.
One thing I'll say is that I really liked that neither Daze or Wyn were competitive or possessive of Mew. I despise love triangles, usually because they treat the female lead like an object to win, or they resort to bullying and pulling each other down to end up with the girl. It's like "guys, GUYS, why are we fighting over (1) girl when there are so many fish in the ocean".
But Nice To Meet You hopped right over that trope and had Wyn and Daze mutually agree to let Mew choose. They literally let each other have moments with Mew at their own expense. It was really sweet. I liked it.
But the ending still flopped 🙊 what do you MEAN a 3 year time skip????????? I feel like I'm the only one who was genuinely flabbergasted by Mew's painting of Daze. Was it supposed to mean something?? And if so, why did we never get an explicit answer?? Mew crying tells me nothing.
As I said, I ship neither Daze nor Wyn with Mew. I wasn't disappointed that she chose Wyn, but I was confused about why. I had so many questions.
Why did Daze give up on her? Why did Mew need to take a trip for that long? Where did she go? Why did she she cry while painting Daze? Was she letting go of her feeling for him? Did Daze never find someone else? Did Mickey just keep his unrequited crush on Daze for 3 more years? Why was Wyn willing to wait that long for an answer? What's Mew's brother up to? Did Simon follow him? Was Mew so hesitant to start a new relationship because her last one was abusive? What even happened to her ex? Why doesn't she talk about him more? Is Daze's dream to run a coffee shop? What's Wyn's career? Are they all still in college?
A three year time skip is just way too long.
More importantly, I do not like Wyn with black hair!!
I wasn't a ride-or-die Nice To Meet You fan, but I still had all these questions. I can't imagine how its biggest fans felt about the ending. Well, no, I can. That comment section on the last episode is brutal. I'm sure the creator had a reason for rushing the series to a close, but I feel the fans are equally justified in being very frustrated by the unanswered questions and Mew suddenly ending up with Wyn when I think most were lead to believe the painting meant Daze was endgame.
6/10 ending, what a bummer ending for a series with such good art and characters.

I got seven different asks about the College AU so here are some headcanons I have about them! (imagine aiura is in the picture I couldn’t find a good one with all of them)
I definitely didn’t mean to make this so long but I can’t help it I love them all so much<3
~~~~~~~~♡~~~~~~~~~~♡~~~~~~~~~~♡~~~~~~~~
Saiki Kusuo
→ marine!!!biology!!!major!!!!!!!!
→ doesn’t need to study but he still does bc he finds marine life so fascinating
→ read all of his textbooks on the first day bc he was so excited eeeek
→ always wears his germanium ring in class so he can stay hashtag focused
→ him and aiura have to bail toritsuka(didn’t go to college) out of jail once a month
→ speaking of aiura, she somehow has convinced him to go on a date on five different occasions
→ i think after high-school he realised he didn’t mind a kind of casual not-relationship with her
→ lets her hug him to greet him and sometimes he hugs back bc college boys stare a lot and he is just worried for her okay?
→ maybe I’m just projecting bc I kin aiura
→ does not go to parties unless he absolutely has to
→ if he does go to a party he’ll drink something quietly in a corner, just watching the crowd
→ a perv laced Teruhashi’s drink and almost lured her up the stairs so of fucking course Kusuo sprinted to help her, holding her on the way home bc men are drawn to her like bees to honey
→ she didn’t let him live it down ever
→ he rented a studio apartment and keeps it super clean, minimum clutter but enough to look lived in
→ cooks amazing food that Nendo smells from upstairs and next thing you know, they’re all bringing chairs to Kusuo’s apartment and have dinner
→ nothing excuses the fact he makes at least eight servings every time–
→ such a dad to everyone honestly
→ usually studies at a library or teleports back home if there’s a big test
→ mrs. saiki was banned from visiting every two days but she still ends up there somehow

Kaidou Shun
→ fine arts major you can NOT change my mind
→ doesn’t do good in theoretical subjects but mans can draw some good bowls of fruit
→ wears those stained from the paints t-shirts all the time bc ‘no they’re not dirty it’s art!’

Scaramouche knew something was wrong, he has this strange feeling in his gut that something would happen. But, like usual, Scaramouche ignores it. But currently, he’s starting to regret not trusting his gut instinct.
He watches with narrowed eyes as a member of the Fatui approached you with a wicked smile on his face. His electric blue eyes watch as the guy stopped just behind you, you were unaware of the guy’s presence, busy talking with a fellow Harbinger, Childe.
Scaramouche’s black orbs turn into slits when he noticed the guy’s hand moving. What the guy did next made Scaramouche furious and you surprised, and Childe disgusted. The echo of the slap echoed through the room, effectively silencing everyone. You yelped while turning around with a red face and a glare.
“What the-?! Why did you do that?!” You screamed at him angrily, how dare him slap your butt like that?! The guy, who literally has no shame or regret in his face, only laughed at your reaction. “I just wanted to see how hard your butt is. Now that I know.. why don’t you come with me? I’ll show you a good time.”
You made a disgusted face as you took a step back. “Hell no! What? Were you thinking I’ll join you after that stunt?! As if!” The guy’s smile turned into a sneer. “As if you have a choice in the matter. You’re nothing but a lower member of the Fatui. I honestly don’t even know why you’re still here.” “Hey. I think that’s going a bit too far-“ Childe tried to intervene but immediately shut his mouth when he noticed a very familiar presence approaching you three.
Not wanting to be in the way, he decided to leave this to his fellow Harbinger. Even though he’s nothing but a douchebag to Childe and the others, everyone can tell that Scaramouche has a soft spot for you. It isn’t really hard to tell. Childe took the spot beside a Fatui member and lean on the wall behind him and watch as the scene unfold. Ready to intervene if needed.
You stared at the guy in disbelief, you didn’t have anything to say to him. He was completely right. You were nothing but another member of the Fatui, one ready to be sacrificed if needed for the Tsaritsa. You can feel everyone’s eyes were on you two, which further adds to your humiliation and embarrassment. But you still have your pride and dignity left, even though its little. You opened your mouth to make a comeback when-
“Shouldn’t you have better things to do instead of bothering someone because you’re horny?” You blink, surprised to hear his voice. You turn your head to the side to look at the person who spoke. There stood, in his fullest glory (and his humongous circle hat-), Scaramouche, with a scary look on his face. His eyes bright with purple, slightly darkened by his bangs and electricity being sparked around him. He really looks furious.
You can tell that the guy was frightened at the sudden appearance of one of the high ranking Harbinger. Him gulping before speaking up once again, not a good idea really. “T-Tsk. Who ask for your opinion, Balladeer?” The intense gaze that Scaramouche is giving to him never falter, the electricity around him is sparking more though.. “Oh? You wish to stand against one of the Harbinger?” Scaramouche laughed, dryly if I may add.
The guy was really nervous now, you can tell. You can’t blame the guy really, you would also be nervous if the electricity is almost hitting you- “You wouldn’t stand a chance.” Scaramouche sneered before letting out a bolt of electricity to the guy. The guy swiftly tried to dodge but Scaramouche’s electricity was faster. The guy drop to the ground, shaking violently. Many gasps can be heard as the guy continued to shake on the ground.
“Let this be a lesson to you if you ever want to disrespect [Y/N] again. This is also for all of you.” Scaramouche’s gaze switch to the people in the room, whom flinch at the intensity of his glare. “If you ever disrespect or bully [Y/N], I promise you that your death would be a slow and painful one.” As he finished that, he lifts his finger and snaps it. The guy stopped shaking, but he was breathing heavily. Scaramouche returned his attention to him once more. “Do you understand now?”
The guy hastily nodded before standing up, stumbling slightly while doing so. You honestly pity the guy now, but what he did to you was unforgiveable. So you suppose you wouldn’t scold Scaramouche for this.. “Y-Yes sir! S-Sorry for doing that-!” “Sorry? Is that all you gonna say-?” “Scara.. that’s enough.” You said softly while placing a hand on his shoulder. His blue, still glowing purple, eyes look at you in the corner. “‘Enough’? What he did is unforgiveable-!” “I know. That’s why that’s enough.” You said firmly.
Scaramouche stared at you before sighing, the electricity around him died down, making the purple hue around him vanish. When he reopen his eyes, it returned to its original color blue. “Be glad that they convince me that you should live. If they weren’t here, you would be dead on where you’re standing.” The guy slightly whimpered, he looks so pathetic right now, it makes you feel sorry for him. “Scram. I don’t want you appearing before me, or [Y/N], ever again. If I see you.. well, I can leave that to your imagination.”
The guy didn’t need another warning as he ran off immediately after Scaramouche finished speaking. “Pathetic.” Scaramouche sneered in a whisper while shaking his head before turning to you completely. You flinch a bit but you stood your ground, staring back at his intense eyes. “You know, you always bring trouble wherever you go. Do you know how much of it is a hassle for me to clean up right after?” “I didn’t ask for help.” You grumbled while looking away. “You were the one who interfered. I could’ve handled that-“
“Yes, and you handling things would only make it worse.” Scaramouche said, effectively cutting you off. You grumbled under your breath. “Atleast I’m not the one who’s most hated here.” He glared at you, before sighing. “C’mon, let’s get you something to eat. I’m sure you’re starving now.” He said as he started to walk towards the exit of the Fatui headquarters. “How come he knows me so well?” You mumbled under your breath before following him.
“I want some seafood-!” “Hm.. sure. If we find a restaurant that sells seafood that is.” “Psh. We’ll find one!” “Whatever you say.”
——
“How come [Y/N] gets special treatment from Scaramouche?” One of the member of the Fatui complained while shoving a spoonful of rice in her mouth. The other two members shrugged. “Maybe because he likes them?” One said. “Yeah! Have you seen how soft he is around them?! Like, that’s not the Scaramouche we all know and hated-“
“I’d advise you to not talk about Scaramouche or [Y/N] out loud.” The trio snapped their heads towards the 11th Harbinger, Childe, who only smirk. “Unless you want to get punish that is.” He laughed when he saw how pale the trio got. “Just a word of advice from a fellow Harbinger~ Happy eating-!”

Wait you’re writing a twilight knockoff?? Any spoilers? 👀
(Also I realize this might seem weird since this blog is new; I followed you on my old one lol)
It's not weird. I basically never check lol.
And yeah, it's one of those stories I'm juggling in my head and maybe after this first 500 words a day experiment is done, I'll start writing that next.
Anyway, spoilers, all the spoilers.
First off, I'm genderswapping them. Bella's the vampire, Edward's the human, and they're both competent in their own way. Edward LARPs as an emo fuckboy or whatever they're called these days? E-boys?
Tumblr media
He'd wear this though side note. Don't zoomers make fun of millenials for wearing skinny jeans? Idk whatever this isn't important.
He's still got the "I play piano and care about music that came out in the 1990's and 2000's" thing he had going on before, but he's not really got any family period.
Oh yeah btw they're in college now, not high school. This is Ed's first chance to not be in foster care, so he's super isolated himself and is dedicated to his piano, studying biology and philosophy, and wondering if it'd be worth jumping into the POV trend on tiktok.
I'm gonna have to research tiktok to write this :|
Anyway, Bella is fun. You know her whole love of that big ole truck and knowing about her dad's hobbies. She's 100% WA's version of a redneck and not exactly cis, though she won't explain how.
Annoyed I can't find the sheer level of chaos I imagine her clothes are at any given moment. This girl gives vibes though
Tumblr media
Basically handmade overall shorts with waders and a stupidly large hat that'll keep her out of the sun.
Oh and a mullet. An overgrown mullet she keeps out of her eyes probably through the strength of dust alone.
There's a lot of the same shit as before, mostly character building, figuring out wtf is going on. But Edward more or less gets adopted by Bella's vamp siblings before she gets to know him because she's not going to college. Why should she when she's already gone to college ten times over and would rather teach herself how to build a house DIY style? But she ends up meeting Edward, thinks her family is insane, then begins to bond with him despite her best interests.
She literally introduces color into Edward's life.
And he learns she's a vampire and there's a lot of political upset. He gets brought to the New Haven underground, which is like a huge fictional city that used to be a place for magical creatures before they were forced underground. And Ed sees all this shit and sees how tired and hungry and frustrated all these creatures are and is like, "Hey Bella. What if we talk to the fae about starting a war to overthrow humans?"
It ties into the romance novel I'm supposed to be writing and the hp knock off I'm also supposed to be writing.
They're on a brief pause because I'm behind on writing my shorts, but I did finish the first chapter for both of them!

ok, (this might be long so bear with me here i’m sorry) i got the very bright idea to try and braid my hair last night since i’ve been letting my mullet grow longer than usual, i’m too lazy to cut it but also i kinda want to see how long i can let it grow anyways, that shit was hard. i spent more time than i even want to think about trying to do a dutch braid up the back of my head and then i still had to do the top half to meet back it was a serious test in my patience, dexterity, and (most importantly) arm strength. i almost forgot just how difficult it can be to braid your own hair, and it’s just so much worse when you can barely hold onto it
but now, all i can think about is little mullet boba (maybe just as he’s growing his hair out to the length it is later on? idk, but the point is it’s not super long) trying to figure out how he’s gonna fit it under his helmet since now it’s too long to just leave alone and so i’m just picturing little boba sitting there trying (and mostly failing) to braid his mullet up, while fennec just watches on in amusement because “no fennec, i don’t want or need help” (i like to think there’s an unholy amount of bobby-pins and maybe a few sparkly clips involved to keep it all together those first few times) or maybe, alternatively, boba realises just how hard it is and agrees to let fennec braid his hair instead until it’s long enough for him to do it with less struggle. either way, the mental image of baby mullet boba trying to figure out his braids has been haunting me all day and i needed to share
first off can i just say my favorite asks are when people with mullets come here to tell me about them lmfao <3 it feels like such a specific corner of the internet i’ve accidentally cultivated considering i don’t actually have a mullet myself!! but i do have very long hair rn so i completely feel you on the braiding lol
 (also i saw your follow up and you’re right, reqs aren’t open rn, but i was already on this train of thought and am always in the mulletverse mood lol so enjoy some rougher sketches and some context lmfao)
and yes!! it is absolutely my hc that fennec teaches him (idk how long you’ve been here but my thoughts here are an extension of the baby fennec as zam wesell’s protégée verse that i played around with a while back) and boba is allergic to asking for help so it’s a whole thing and fennec teases him relentlessly about his first few attempts...
the other thing i’ve been thinking about re: helmet braids is fennec’s threading...i’m not sure what the costumers were inspired by for it but i personally was reminded of hair tapes like this (painting is from 1586, unknown artist):
Tumblr media
i imagine that added structure would be really helpful with layered hairstyles like boba’s mullet lmfao...
anyway from there i got into the idea of fennec teaching boba how to do these hair tape styles to keep the helmet hair to a bit more manageable level lol
Tumblr media
(and here are some rough sketches of how that could look (one based on fennec’s, one based on an alternate padmé costume i drew a while back)

different anon but i know this is a little more what you hc for nico and i adore it and maybe the other anon will too: headcanons for nb nico who is fairly fem? idk feminine nb nico makes me so happy 🥰 i love that you make a fair amount of content for it i truly love to see it on my dash, i appreciate you so much
Firstly, thank you for the compliments; and yes anon, you would be correct, femby Nico is something I'm so down for:
So originally Nico doesn't know he's trans, he doesn't even know the word trans exists
He's one of those people who is like "most people don't care about gender it's not a big deal it doesn't matter" and he's quite confused when people enforce rules based off of sex/gender
He's stands there going, "okay?? but it doesn't matter?? it's not real??"
Gender just straight up confuses him
Anyhow, I think Nico definitly gets his further slightly more in depth explaination of queerness from Will, and Will is like "yeah then trans people-" or maybe Will is trans and tells him after they've been dating a short while
Either way Nico is like "oh, that's cool!"
Anyhow Nico doesn't really think about it for a long time, and kind of carries on without thinking about gender much.
If Will is trans in this as well, then Nico learns more about himself through learning about Will's gender... But if Will's not trans then maybe Nico finds out Lou Ellen is trans (I have a whole bunch of trans Lou Ellen and trans Will headcanons I need to write with Cecil too)
Anyhow basically Nico knows someone who's trans and there's a conversation of gender at some point where Nico's like "but gender isn't real?" or something similoar because he just doesn't understand the idea of feeling male or feeling female, it confuses him
So eventually he has a conversation with some friends who are cis, and he realizes that even they know they're a boy or girl, and so Nico is confused because "why does everyone have this figured out?"
So he starts asking more questions, and finds out about nonbinary and he gets nervous because he knows Will likes boys, but what if Will won't like him anymore because he's not 100% a guy
So he does eventually work up the courage to tell Will how he might be feeling and Will is super chill about the whole thing and he's like "Nico I like boys and girls, and most of all I like you" and Nico's happy because Will isn't going to break up with him
Anyhow they have a long conversation where Willl is like "please don't worry about coming to me with stuff I love you very much okay?"
Eventually Nico begins to try out different pronouns but just when alone with Will because he's not comfortable telling everyone yet
He decides he likes he/him, but she/her is nice too, and he dables in xe/xem pronouns but he has mixed feelings on them
In my last trans Nico post I said Nico would like alternating pronouns but maybe I don't think so... I think he would tell people what pronouns he wanted when/what day or he would say "you can use he/him or she/her" or something
and some people would use one set, and some people the other, and some people would mix his pronouns
So Nico starts getting more involved in fashion around this point
Mitchell and him are friends and Mitchell's dad is a fashion designer so free stuff!
Anyhow Nico finds all of this stuff fun, and eventually one day she gets the courage to try a skirt on and it quickly becomes her favorite type of clothing
Nico likes to wear skirts with tights and combat boots
Nico also falls in love withe leggings because "they're just so soft!"
He never really comes out he kind of just chooses to live life and if people know or find out whatever
Like he'll be somewhere with Jason and someone would ask for her pronouns and she'd be like "he/him or she/her is fine" and Jason is getting whiplash from how fast he turned his head to look at Nico and Jason's stumbling over "he/him" while looking at Nico because he wants to say congrats so bad
Or maybe Will is like "my girlfriend" and Percy's like "you have a girlfriend too?" and Will's like "no??? I mean Nico??" and Percy is confused af because he didn't even know people could be gay until recently- but people can be trans too?
(Percy has his own gender questioning that happens, although a bit smaller and he decides he/they and that dresses and heels are fun)
So Nico's friends all eventually know but they just sort of find out rather than a big coming out (this is how they all found out Nico was gay too, Nico was like “yeah so me and Will Solace are dating” or “my boyfriend” because Nico has a hard time saying “I’m gay” or “I’m trans” so he finds ways around it to make himself more comfortable).
Nico struggles a little bit with the concept, not as much as he did with being gay but there’s still obsticales there for him to overcome
When Hades finds out he’s just like “mhmm good for you okay love you… daughter?” and that makes Nico happy because he’s still trying to be a good dad
Anyhow immediately after Nico leaves Hades runs to find Dionysus or Apollo and is like “trans what does it mean? Daughter was the correct word right? I’m sorry tucking is what now??”
He’s confused af but also supportive af
“Nobody says that about my son-err daughter?”
“Both are fine, Papa”
And Will and Reyna are in the background silently giving Hades thumbs ups
Sometimes Hades buys Nico weird shit and is like “it’s for your gender” and Nico doesn’t need the stuff but his dad cares so she appreciates it
Dionysus is super chill about the whole thing when he hears it through the grapevine (ha!) and he’s like “new name or same one kid?”
Nico’s like “oh um, same name, just new pronouns”
And Dionysus is like “great sit your ass down you have therapy to do”
(Dionysus always gets trans kids name right and never even jokingly messes it up so he always asks)
Also, Nico loves little hair clips, you know the little ones that tik tokers wear? Yeah those he has hundreds of them!
Cloth headbands are also her best friend, she has so many of them… (they’re like square cloth pieces you tie and wrap a specific way and roll your hair around it… I don’t know the right word they were popular in the 50s)
Nico ends up growing out his hair because he likes being able to put it in a messy bun on top of his head and he likes having it in braids down his back too
She learns to do makeup from Hazel (Hazel had a makeup face and likes kpop I don’t take criticism on that) and it looks great tbh
Also in public all the time when people see Nico they’re like “Boy? Girl?”
And he’s like “yeah both is good, but also neither, I have all the genders and also no gender”
And Will’s standing in the background laughing his ass off at the confused look the cashier has on their face
Just imagine Nico and Will’s kids calling Nico both Mama and Papa interchangeably ~
She does end up changing her name from Nicolò to just Nico because Nico is gender neutral
So much jewelry… so much of it, Nico loves it
Nico ends up getting a leather jacket with “give us our roses while we’re here” printed/painted on the back of it and little roses built into the actual jacket as well
Nico always seems to have some new hair length going on, like sometimes her hair is down to her waist, sometimes it’s at her shoulders, and other times she has a mullet, while other times she has an eboy cut
He ends up dying his hair all the time, at first he does gold and silver highlights in really small spots so it looks like his hair sparkles with glitter when he moves
After that Nico does half of her head in blonde and the other side in black like a split down the middle type dye
And he ends up drying his hair a swirled blue and pink color as well when it’s short
When he grows his hair out long, he dyes it with the little egirl dye in the front
She also does that thing where you have a rainbow under your hair and a normal color on top
Nico gets an undercut at one point where she leaves enough in the center top to put it up in a bun or leave it down to her shoulders
He dies his hair a blue-green one time while lit’s long too and Will gets an ombre at the same time using his natural blonde and a bubble gum pink in his like “bangs” area (Will has like a halo of pink hair when he does that dye)
And yeah idk I’m out of ideas but nonbinary Nico is great actually
