Tumblr media

Tumblr media
Over the years, she’s come to accept her life. Did it hurt when it felt like her entire life ended? Of course. Does it still hurt when she turns on the television to see them basically rubbing it on her face? —Whatever.
In theory, she probably could’ve gotten away with it had she not been a daughter of one of the big three—thanks a lot, dad. —but it was proven one too many times that it was not safe for her or any of the other kids. If it didn’t put anyone else’s life at risk, she would’ve disobeyed her mother, she really would (she was a child, she really hasn’t grasped the full concept of what other people would feel).
But, you know, oh well.
It’s sixteen years later and she still has that lingering grudge in the back of her head as the screen plays another Grand Prix — another Grand Prix she could’ve probably been a part of.
She tried, she really tried so hard to forget about it, to let go of it, but again, it was proven to be way too hard to let go of something she had an actual chance of, an actual good chance.
Though it might be hard to let go, she couldn’t really complain much about the life she actually had now.
Sure, it gets pretty lonely sometimes being a forbidden child, there weren’t exactly much of them (that are known and living at camp). But she had everyone else, despite practically being an only child at camp, to her everyone else there were her little siblings—of course, that probably has something to do with the fact that she was the oldest camper and the one who has been there longest.
When she heard a set of the all-too-familiar clops her heart dropped from its current fast-paced beating.
She quickly closed your laptop shut, cringing when you heard how loud of a sound it had made. That was it. She didn’t even try hiding her disappointment in herself. She slowly emerged from under the blanket with her lips tightly-wound shut, bracing herself with whatever the Centaur will have to say, her mind playing a quick telepathic farewell to her laptop.
“Hello, Y/N.”
She sighed, “Chiron.”
“Where and how?”
She swallowed the pre-existing nerves in her throat, “Mr. D.”
He hummed in response, so she continued.
“A pack of Heineken and two bottles of Jack Daniels.”
“Hm, good picks.” She responded lowly under her breath with a small ‘yeah’ as Chiron walked closer to the head of her bed near the bed-side table—his hooves making clopping noises each step.
The silence was taking too long to her liking so she just went to get it over with, “So, you’re gonna take it away from me?” she paused, then mumbling under her breath for herself, “—it’s probably another Red Bull win, anyway.”
Apparently, it was loud enough for the Centaur to hear, making him chuckle.
Surprisingly, he didn’t mention anything else about the laptop, “Who do you support?”
Hearing the question quickly made her look up from her fidgeting hands to see the smile on his face, she screwed her brows in confusion as she continues to look at Chiron for—something. Then, realizing that he was still waiting for an answer, she shook her head.
“Uhm—well, uh—”
“You think that Lando will ever get a win?”
That seemed to loosen her up, “Ugh, Gods, I hope. I’m getting exhausted over here—you know, sometimes I really wish I could ask the Oracle about it.”
He chuckled then which made her crack a smile.
When it died down, Chiron looked at her smiling face. He couldn’t help but frown a little, he knew how she felt about racing, he knew how she still feels about it.
“Y/N.”
She looks up at him, “Yeah?”
“So, I am aware that your birthday is nearing
”
“I mean
 why wouldn’t you be? I’m here all-year-round.”
Chiron cleared his throat at her interruption, giving her a look.
“Sorry.”
He acknowledged and continued, “I am also aware that it lines up with a certain event
”
She raised an eyebrow it that, almost guessing what that said ‘event’ was.
“So,” he stopped, initially had her thinking he was just pausing but when he left out the door of her cabin she raised her hands as if saying ‘what gives?’
Seconds passed and it seemed like Chiron wasn’t going to come back any time soon so instead she stumbled off of her bed to quickly catch up to the Centaur that was headed to a building—the girl almost caught up to him, almost following him into the building but he was already back out in a good few seconds, stopping her right in front of the set of stairs, raising both her hands in question once more, “You just left. ‘So’, what?”
“I have it arranged that you will be attending the Miami Grand Prix.” He smiled as he handed her a lanyard.
She swore her eyes looked like it could’ve popped out of their sockets in a matter of seconds. She couldn’t believe what she was holding; a paddock pass. She couldn’t believe Chiron had done this for her considering how careful of a man (well, half-man) he is especially with her being a forbidden child. This was about to turn into the best birthday yet.
When she looked up to the smiling Chiron, her mouth still hung open in shock but her arms immediately wrapped around the man’s body in a bone-crushing hug.
She didn’t know how many ‘thank you’s that spilled out of her mouth but next thing she knew he was hugging her back with a chuckle escaping his lips.
After a few more ‘thank you’s from her, she pulled away smiling at him, “I thought you’d rather keep me here forever, why now?”
He cleared his throat, “Well, you are turning twenty-one, not many of you reach that kind of age—don’t tell them I said that—so I’d like to make it a bit more special.”
Still smiling, she looked at the paddock pass in her hand again, “You don’t know how much I appreciate this, Chi. Thank you, again.”
Tumblr media
Being there felt
 odd
 unnatural.
She always thought if she were ever walking through the paddocks she would be walking as a driver.
What was even more odd was she felt her senses tingling, like she was being watched.
It was a bustling crowded place with many more interesting people compared to her, so it was weird to her that she felt like she was being watched of all people.
But alas, she brushed it off. It didn’t feel like anything bad—if it were, she would know—so she’s just going to have to save that thought for later.
She had to remind herself why she’s here; daydream in real-time of what could’ve been.
Yeah, she weren’t really keen on letting that go.
That is, until she was into her head she failed to notice the person—and group of people that came with said person—she was running into.
Before she knew it, a strong arm was holding her back with too much force for her liking, the action itself almost kicking in her self defense instinct until the person she did bump into pushed the hand away.
He was now talking to her, she assumed, but she was too focused on the person who had pushed her away.
Something about him felt
 off. He was what she would count as freakishly huge for a normal human being, her eyes couldn’t help but recalculate the large man over and over until eventually the person that has been trying to get her attention snaps her out of it.
“Sorry, that’s Theo, he’s like that. I swear he doesn’t mean any harm.”
The scowl she hadn’t realized that made it’s way to her face slowly dropped as she slowly move her gaze to the person that was talking to her.
When their eyes met, she swore she saw a flash of something pass by his expression.
“Yeah,” she finally let go of this ‘Theo’ person and found her words, “Sorry I bumped into you.”
“That’s fine.” There was a brief silence across them until he cleared his throat, “I’m Logan, by the way.”
“Yeah, I know. You drive for Williams.” She replied flatly.
He cleared his throat again, scanning her for the shortest moment, “Do I know you?”
She looked to his eyes again with a small squint. “Most likely not. Good luck, bye.”
Before he could say anything else she was already speed-walking away. And for some odd reason, Logan found himself watching her walk away before getting pulled away himself just in the same time as the girl turned around to give a watchful eye.
Tumblr media
It was getting annoying. This was supposed to be a weekend to enjoy but she could not help but feel that uneasiness creeping up on her. Over the years she had somewhat mastered the ability—well more the ability mastering her—of sensing bad things, whether that was events or creatures alike.
So, to simply put that together, that’s how she found herself sneaking around the Williams garage. Not hospitality, garage.
From years of quests here and there, many hours of weapons training, and not to mention capture the flag schemings with other campers, she had mastered the skill of being sneaky. It really did work well in her favor.
What she didn’t expect was to be completely entranced the moment she got into the busy garage; it was the first time she was seeing a real life-size F1 car in real-time.
Everything was so enchanting to her, it felt like she was reliving her childhood dreams all over again. When she had gone through with her plan, she didn’t really register the fact that she was going to go face to face with an actual working Formula One garage.
She really tried to stay focused on the task at hand but it really was in her blood to be unfocused.
“Hey!”
Somehow, just somehow, she had heard his voice over the loud noises around her and just somehow, she knew he was addressing her.
Immediately, she tried to hide or duck behind something—anything just so she didn’t have to face him.
Before she knew it a hand was gripping her upper arm and pulling her somewhere quieter and she was met with green eyes that looked at her with suspicion.
“Are you like a fan or something?”
She was taken aback by his words.
“
what?”
“Are you following me?”
“What—no. I mean not you specifically—why did I say that.” she whispered the last part to herself. If she was being honest, she hasn’t really been brushing up her skills in socializing with anyone else that weren’t the campers.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing! I—”
Their conversation—if you could’ve called it that anyway—was interrupted by the same man she had been suspecting from earlier.
“There you are.” It was the first time she was hearing his voice and just by that she already knew that they were going to be in big trouble. His voice was low and unnerving, saying the words as if he’s been searching for them not for worried purposes rather unfortunate ones.
Logan didn’t seem to have the same feeling as her as he looked more relieved among other things to see the man. “Theo!” he greeted while throwing his hands in the air, “What’s up, man?”
Fortunately for Logan, Theo wasn’t exactly paying attention to him instead looking at the girl in front of him instead.
When he noticed he tried to interfere, “Oh, no, don’t worry about her, she’s not harmful.” He then realized he didn’t exactly know this girl so he looked at her with questioning eyes, “You aren’t, right?”
Except her focus didn’t waver from the big man that looked at her with a stare that tried to kill.
Logan, still clueless, looked between the two back and forth in confusion until Theo said something that really caught his attention.
“Daughter of Poseidon.” Theo growled.
Logan’s head couldn’t snap towards her faster.
“Shit.” She mumbled under her breath.
Before they knew it, she had grabbed a hold of his hand and running away with it, Logan still very much in shock at this new information he attained.
Through empty places and crowded ones, the girl forgot that the man she had ahold of weren’t just anyone but a very real and hard-to-miss Formula One driver. Sure, he was a rookie but a driver nonetheless.
But she couldn’t care less about the attention she was gaining; she was far too busy running for her life than think about cameras and the public.
“What the hell was he talking about? Poseidon?!” she didn’t answer his panicked question so he continued instead, “Are you a half-blood too?”
The ‘too’ in his question was what finally caught her attention but still, she didn’t answer him, only cursing herself for not noticing one when she saw one.
Just when she thought they had lost them, the monster once disguised as Theo was standing there at the end of the opening, she and Logan had slipped in.
Next thing she knew she was fumbling around trying to fight off the apparent Giant that was Theo.
“What the hell are you doing there, mind a little help over here?” she yelled over at Logan who was pretty much
 useless in the corner.
He continued to panic, looking for anything he could use to get the Giant off of her.
Suddenly, while she was struggling to get the Giant’s grip off of her, the force stopped as a cloud of mist poofed where the monster was once before. She quickly scrambled herself up and was met with a figure in McLaren clothing holding a gold-dust colored weapon pointing at her.
“Oscar Piastri?!”
He didn’t answer her, dagger still pointing at her direction, “Who are you?”
Putting her hands out in defense she explained herself, “I respect that.” she commented, “I’m Y/N L/N, I am the daughter of Poseidon,” then she cautiously pointed at the Australian, “I’m assuming you’re a half-blood too.” she nodded at him, “Who do you belong to?”
Oscar then slowly lowered his weapon, his trust building by the minute, “Athena.”
Then both of them turn to Logan simultaneously.
“No!” he got defensive immediately, “I want to know what just happened!” he pointed accusingly.
All of a sudden, it just finally hit Oscar, “Poseidon?!”
The sea god’s daughter made a face and ignored the Australian, “What do you mean what just happened? Typical demigod stuff!”
The look on his face made her double-take, “You
 do have occasional encounters with monsters here and there
 right?”
When Logan’s expression doesn’t change, she turns to Oscar.
“I have this for a reason.” He said slowly, showing her the dagger. “—and, well, if I’m being honest, that has never happened before.”
“Shit.” she shakes her head in disappointment then pulling out her phone, “I need to make a phone call.”
She left the two men by themselves and went ahead as the line rings a couple of times before getting an answer.
After a brief conversation—that will continue later for details—the girl locked her phone and walked towards the two drivers.
“You’re coming with me this summer. It will not be up for debate and don’t worry about your
 duties, I have it covered.”
Logan was quick to stop her explanations, “Wait—what—no! At least explain what the hell that phone call was about. You can’t just drop all that on us and expect us to be okay with it.
She rolls her eyes, “I’ll explain later, right now, you two have a job to do.” They didn’t object to that, the three of them walking out the pretty-hidden space the Giant had decided to corner them before.
Oscar stopped just outside, “I can take care of myself if anything else decide to come out and attack me, you should probably go with him. And uh, I actually need to talk to you,” he pointed at her, “—later. Not exactly letting you off the hook that easily.”
She didn’t complain.
The two walked in silence, every once in a while getting stopped for a picture and such, until Logan speaks up.
“Apollo.”
She turned to him, eyebrow raised.
“My dad.”
“Oh.” She paused then comments, “Fitting.”
He didn’t know what it was in her voice, it didn’t sound exactly like a compliment but he wasn’t sure if it was an insult.
Whatever, he shrugged it off.
After that, they both went into their own train of thoughts.
Without noticing, they both sucked in a breath in unison.
“I’m sorry for—”
“I think you should—”
The two quickly stepped back from whatever it was they were going to say, heat rushing up their necks. They kept walking on the awkward silence that fell upon them until Logan re-focused his attention and remembering what she had said—well, what she almost said earlier.
“Wait—‘sorry’? What were you apologizing for?” he turned to her who was now ducking away from his eyes, her own focus stayed on her fidgeting hands.
She made a noise before finally finding her words, “It’s just—this always happens, you know. I’m a forbidden kid, I attract the worst kind of trouble there is for half-bloods. And earlier; I had brought it to you and Oscar.” he was going to say something to ease her guilt but she beat him to it, “I’m just glad that monster didn’t hurt any of you.” She threw her hands in the air, “I mean, it’s qualifying day for Gods sake! —maybe I shouldn’t go to the race tomorrow.” She mumbled the last part to herself, though not quietly enough that the driver didn’t hear.
Logan was taken aback by her statement, giving him an opening on his almost-offer.
“What—no! Why not?” he asked.
“Look, it’s bad enough that there’s two demigods in one place; adding a forbidden kid in the mix won’t really make it any better. I still want everyone to have a safe race. Who knows what kind of other monsters I could attract.”
From every point of view Logan could gather, it was simply a fact that this girl knows about their world far more than he did, far more than Oscar did, so he couldn’t really be the voice of judgement in whatever she had to say. But
 he wanted her to stay.
It calmed him down for some reason, knowing someone shares the same—if not, worse—fate as you.
So, he tried to find a reason, a good reason to make her stay. Of course, he wasn’t a pro at this half-blood thing so he offered something that he was familiar with. He gave her a more
 human reason.
“I think you should stay.” He blurted.
“Logan—”
“Dude—is it alright if I called you that?”
“Uh, go nuts.”
“You deserve to have some fun, watch a race! I’ll even have you as an official Williams guest!”
She hummed with a smile creeping up.
“And if you’re worried about trouble, that’s fine. We can always handle trouble! We are all trouble-bound any way, better face them now than later! Plus, I think it’d be good if you could teach us the basics early.”
She felt the warmth spread through her chest. It’s been a while since she felt someone so welcoming that wasn’t anyone within Camp Half-blood. It was nice. He was nice. Almost made her forget that she was in the place she was meant to be in.
Her heart felt wholesome, but didn’t make it show, her mouth couldn’t stop the comment from escaping her mouth instead.
“You really want me to stay, huh?”

this might be too angsty 😭
but can you do one where the reader has chronic anxiety and is literally house bound most of the time because of how bad it gets and johnnie just helps them through it
à­šà­§ brittle breathes à­šà­§
pairing: Johnnie Guilbert â™ĄïžŽ Reader
warnings: ୭̄⋆*ïœĄ panic attacks, extreme anxiety 
summary: ʚ reader’s chronic anxiety binds them to their house but Johnnie is able to save them ɞ
Words: 1452
An: sorry it's taking me so long to write i can't help it lol 
Tumblr media
Every day has felt the same to you. You wake up and immediately doom scroll on your phone. Your brain is hyper-fixating on every bad comment you receive. You eventually get off Twitter and turn on YouTube. The torment doesn't end there.
You turn on someone who has consistent uploads, better looking than you, and overall is just better at your job. You feel so sick. Constantly nausea, your hands and feet are freezing, and your brain seems like you mushed it into pieces. 
It had been weeks since you had last uploaded on your channel. It wasn't so bad at first. You felt less anxious at home so you just stayed in more. Unfortunately, it has its talons in you. You could never leave the house anymore.
You were sitting on the couch in sweatpants and a sweatshirt. You hadn't gotten ready in weeks either, posting the occasional post on your Instagram story of something random. 
It wasn't like your fans hadn't noticed, hell everyone in your life had noticed. Your boyfriend Johnnie had asked what was going on with you lately, and he saw it. Of course, he saw it. The light in your eyes slowly dimmed. 
The way you wouldn't do anything anymore. Your interest didn't excite you anymore, you never ate anymore, and the most worrying thing was you'd stopped hanging out with him. 
He knew how hard anxiety could be on a person and how he wanted to help but he also knew how fragile people can be in this head space.
You had dried tears staining your cheeks as you scrolled through Twitter. You were looking at any tweet with your name involved in it. You were just a sad little lump on the couch. It was pathetic really. 
Your heart jumped as a notification went through that Johnnie started a live stream on Twitch. You had forgotten he was going to stream tonight. You clicked on it saying hi in chat. 
“Ahh fuck my settings are all messed up hold on guys,” Johnnie mumbled moving closer to his screen and clicking around. You giggle watching his fans say hi to you in chat. “Alright sorry guys,” he says, sitting up and looking at the chat. 
“Wait, is y/n in chat? A bunch of people are saying hi,” he says looking at the chat zoom bye. You smile to yourself already feeling calmer just by listening to his voice. “Yes, I am ¯\_(ツ)_/¯” you type in the chat. You watch him read the chat and smile to himself. 
He hides his blush by putting his hand over his mouth. The whole interaction made you giggle. He was the only thing that ever made you feel good anymore. You knew that wasn't healthy but you couldn't help it. You texted a black heart emoji to Johnnie.
You sat and watched the stream for a bit longer at some point while Johnnie stopped for a second to respond to your text. ‘Love you nerd’ he said with a heart emoji as well. He smiled down at his phone before realizing he was still streaming and had to keep them entertained. 
He came to a slow point in his stream so he looked over at his chat. “Why isn't y/n posting?” he asked, reading a fan’s words. Your heart skipped a beat. “Um, they are just having a hard time right now. They will be back soon though don't worry,” he answers, it was a true statement.
It just stung that your fans were reaching out to him about you. Johnnie would never make you feel guilty about this of course he understood, it's just you felt like such a burden on him because of this. 
You snapped back into reality, Johnnie had continued his stream and the chat slowly moved on from the topic. You had to do something about this. It was consuming your life.
You swiped away from Twitch and pulled up your messages with Johnnie. ‘Can you come over after the stream?’ you asked. If you were going to get out of this you were going to need help to do it. You had the stream pulled back up again. 
Johnnie was looking down at your phone. ‘I will get an Uber right now.’ was a text Johnnie sent you. You sat up reading the message on the top of your screen. “Hey guys I'm actually going to have to end stream early,” he said looking up from his phone.
You watched the chat as they started to freak out at the sudden end. Well, this wasn't how you wanted things to go. “Everything is ok. I just realized I have something to do.” he murmurs closing all the tabs on his computer going to full screen.
You turn the stream off, your heart pounding. Guilt flooding your veins. You stood up only worsening your dizzy state. You fumbled into the kitchen grabbing a glass of water. You failed, however.
You never made it to the sink. Your brain is racing and your mind is melting. A panic attack flows over your bones and into your soul. Your phone is lost somewhere you don't remember. 
Your breath in rapid paces as you can't make anything out. The lack of oxygen fuels your state. Tears start to pool out of your eyes, you start to sob. The crying mixed with the rapid breath causes you to lose all the air you had.
You can't breathe anymore. Any semblance of being able to return to normal is gone. You fall onto your hands and knees scratching at your throat in immense panic. You try to scream or kick or anything that can save you. 
You don't even hear when Johnnie uses the key you gave him to enter your home. Finding you thrashing on your kitchen floor, tears falling from your eyes. “Y/n?” he yells dropping to the floor with you. 
“What's wrong?” he yells trying to see your face. He manages to grab the side of your face and hold it up. “Can't
 breathe,” you mumble, your face starting to lose color. 
“You're ok,” he says looking at you. He isn't able to say it with much conviction. His words betrayed his face as it flooded with worry. You try and fail to return your breathing to normal. Johnnie sees you struggle. 
“Try and follow mine,” he says, unsure of how to help you. You nod your head trying to listen to his breathing. It wasn't any use if you couldn't hear him properly. You hold your hand on his chest, you can feel his exhale and inhale. You could feel his lungs fill with air. 
You tried your best to mimic him. Closing your eyes eventually works. Eventually, you feel your worry melt away, like snow when the weather warms up. It leaves and melts from your body.
Your body relaxes and the tension falls. Johnnie watches as you slowly return back to normal. He brings his hand up to your face and holds you close. You lean into his touch. Your body is slouching.
He wraps his arms around you, holding your body up. “Johnnie?” you ask quietly. The tiredness ebs its way into your body. “Yeah? I'm here. I'm here.” he says slowly. “I need your help. Or someone's I'm not sure. I don't think I can trust anyone else with this.” you whispered to him.
“What's wrong? What can I do?” he asks, moving the hair that fell into your face away. “I have been rotted away by anxiety. I can't leave my house, I can't eat, I cannot do anything anymore. I haven't posted in god knows how long.” you cry standing up and away from him.
He sits up to watch you pace through your apartment. “I can't eat or sleep or talk to anyone without my entire world collapsing. Which isn't helping, it's just making me more anxious.” you cry, pulling at the sides of your face in frustration. 
“What can I do? How can I help you?” he asks while walking up to you. You stop your pacing, before abruptly pulling him into a hug. “I need to start seeing a therapist or something else, I need you to help me,” you whispered into his ear. 
He pulls away, only a little, to see your face. “We can do that for you. I'm sure it's going to get better if you start slowly, ok?” he whispers back. You smile at him sweetly. 
It was going to be hard but little by little you were going to take your life back. You were going to be able to do it with Johnnie.

○ would be employee of the month if he didn’t get into arguments with coworkers here and there 😭
○ not a rude employee by any means but he’s just passionate about doing well
○ it is so nice when you get paired to work with him because he motivates you to do so well too
○ the longer you work with him, you do get to see more relaxed sides of him and he even hums a little while he works ïżŒïżŒ(soon you discover he’s incredible at singing)
vernon:
○ also doesn’t talk too much, not exactly because he’s busy but he also tends to sit idly sometimes, rotating on his chair to pass time LOL
○ he’s great to work with though, he’s so chill and open-minded that he’ll let you take the lead but also input his ideas when he feels necessary
○ you start talking to him when you come in on a monday, a little excited, “did you see the movie that everyone’s talking about?” you ask
○ his eyebrows raise and he sits up in his chair because he has in fact seen that movie
○ thus ensues emails about work but also with a movie recommendation in the final line
chan:
○ was the baby of the office when he was just an intern but he’s a hard-worker so he eventually got hired full-time
○ you catch him kind of dancing while he’s trying to pick out a vending machine snack
○ gets so embarrassed (he may have a crush on you) that he doesn’t talk to you for a good week 😭

have you done a zb1 with idol!reader? like how they'd react to your performances, etc. i bet it would be cute 😋
we are young and wild !
pairing: zb1 maknae line x gn!idol!reader warnings: swearing, overuse of the word "bro", english isn't my first language!!! genre: fluff synopsis: zb1 when their s/o is an idol notes: i loved writing this! school starts on thursday im not oaky to anon: i love idol!reader bc in my opinion its PEAK delulu đŸ€­ thank you for your request! this turned into more general headcanons, but i still hope you like it!! AND YOU'RE RIGHT IT IS CUTE
GENERAL:
you're a member of the co-ed kpop group "zumblr" (yes they have a comeback). you placed 8th in the finale of delulu planet 999 and now you're member of said 2-year project group. :D
this takes place in a reality where dating isn't a fucking scandal in the industry đŸ€—
SHEN QUANRUI
dating rumors in 3
 2
 1

bro doesn't even TRY to hide that you're his s/o ong
it's not like he doesn't value privacy (he very much does) it's just that he doesn't give a fuck??? he doesn't care AT ALL let him be in love with you in peace, it's his business
apart from all these couple items he buys for you two to show off on instagram, he always. just. stares at you. all the time.
ricky doesn't realize it, but there's always a teeny tiny little smile forming on his lips whenever he sees you performing during award shows, comeback stages, concerts etc
bro doesn't even notice when he's on screen when he's watching you perform, he's just in a complete trance đŸ€©
he desperately wants you to teach him your dances. could he learn them on his own? obviously, he's a talented dancer. but he always insists on you showing them to him
"ricky you can learn that dance yourself, c'mon!" "no lol i can't :D"
when you two appear on the same game show like weekly idol??? bro full on flirts with you
you two were supposed to have a staring contest and suddenly he starts talking about taking you shopping????
"do you wanna go shopping with me? i will pay, come with me." (his members are just like "WHAT THE HELLLLLL")
he tries to write love songs about you. he still has some trouble with writing lyrics in korean, because he obviously wants to perform them, but they're cute nonetheless đŸ„ș
the song titles however always have something to do with you. most of them are kind of lowkey, like his song "darling" (he calls you darling)
or that song that is literally named after your representative emoji??? if your representative emoji is 🐑 for example, his song is called "sheep"
and then there's this one song he just straight up called "y/n"
bro doesn't caređŸ’„đŸ’„
loves to talk about you on vlive
"someone just asked me what my favorite zumblr song is!! it's 'old guyz on the street', y/n just slayed there!"
nobody asked that. he just wanted to talk about you and made a comment up.
a really popular ship in your fandoms
KIM GYUVIN
okay okay okay OKAY
you two are MCing together. people LOVE you two together because the vibes are immaculate, 11/10 i recommend
and it's not like it's obvious like you're in a relationship
you two may be dating in secret
 but you're still acting like best friends
fans just love you two together, wether as best friends or as lovers. and it's obvious that you're close.
some fans that are against shipping always attack gyuyn shippers like "stop shipping them!! it's obvious they're just best friends!! 😡"
gyuvin and you are just laughing your asses off whenever you witness it
when you're performing songs on stage he's always singing and dancing along, having the time of his life. he's basically try harding to become the next meme😭
he really tries to attend every one of your concerts. gets really sad when he can't make it because of his schedule :(
on live? he's blasting your songs and turning into beyoncé whenever your parts come on
bro always advertises your albums and everything, also unboxes your newest album as soon as it comes out
always overdramatically falls to the ground as if somebody SHOT him because he didn't pull your photocard???? bro what's your problem with the chou pc you pulledđŸ€Ź
he promotes your group more than he promotes his own LMAOOOO
^ always begs you for a signed version of the newest albums
"gyuvin why would you need me to sign the album? i'm literally your partner" "PFFFF i don't want you to sign, i want your members to sign it đŸ€Ł"
goes on dates with you in public without shame
he really loves the way most fans just believe you two are best friends, this means he can spend more time with you!!
takes SOOOO many selfies with you, bro even posts some pictures he took when on dates
you two constantly end up on reality shows and talk shows together💀💀
the IT DUO of 5th gen fr frđŸ’ȘđŸ’Ș
PARK GUNWOOK
the cutest cutie on this planet is the only one who's actually and actively trying to fucking hide the relationship😭
he is a strong believer and lover of that certain thing called "privacy"
so if you ever mention anything about making your relationship public to him he's gonna be like "no NO NUH UH NO CHANCE DEFINITELY NOT"
he's only considering it once you're married in like. 10 years or so.
but he wants to marry you sođŸ€­đŸ€­đŸ€­ a win is a win
he's so glad that both of you are still going to school & that u're in the same class
he can spend time with you without it being suspicious!!
classmates spending time together makes sense after all, especially when you're both idols!!
only problem is
 bro cannot stop looking at you with those eyes
he doesn't even notice he does that 💀 but even if he wanted to he couldn't STOP
there's so much fondness in his eyes, it's a sight to cry over FOR REAL
gunwook looks at you like you're the most beautiful person in this universe, like you're the only star that matters to him in the nightsky ygm???
he also does that during your perfomances
no singing along, no dancing, his facial features do not move at all, blank face. it's just his eyes that tell the whole truth
fans be like "i want a man that looks at me the way gunwook looks at zumblr's y/n" and he's like "HUHHHHHH đŸ˜±"
other than the way he looks at u he's actually pretty good at keeping it a secret!!
acts as if you're only friends in school
he looooooves buying your albums, he's always pulling up with every single version of your newest album
he puts posters from you up in his childhood room. he'd also decorate his dorm room with pictures of you but he has to vlog in there so he can't 😔😔
cutely asks you for autographs from you :DD
"hi y/n can you please sign the photocard? đŸ„°" he's so adorable it makes you want to cry
he doesn't have a clear phone case SO that means he can always have your (now signed!!) photocard with him and nobody will ever see it <33
HAN YUJIN
i lied!! he also really tries to keep the relationship a secret!
but unlike gunwook he's really bad at it😭
he's so cute but so awkward at the same time
he doesn't make it obvious in a way that everybody immediately knows "oh, yujin and y/n are dating!"
he makes it obvious in the way he so desperately trying to avoid you that everybody immediately knows "there's something going onđŸ€”"
he was on a show and was asked to dance to zumblrs newest song. he panicked and was like "who? oh uhm zumblr of course i know them hahaha! actually i don't know how to dance! uh hanbin hyung do you wanna try instead?"
somebody please save him😭
in case you didn't understand, he actually LIED on that show
he loves learning your dances
always practices them in private and later shows them to you, looking super proud
"look y/n, i actually know how to dance! i look better than you btw! >:)"
he likes teasing you a lot
whenever you post something on instagram, weverse or whatever, he's texting you about it within the first 5 minutes of you posting it
let's say you posted a selfie with a chocolate drink in the background??
he asks you if he should bring you some chocomilk to your next date
he likes to analyze and rate the pictures. is the lightning good, your posing? bro acts like he's your selca teacher
during performances he always stares into nowhere, making himself zone out because he knows he'd only stare at you if he watched your performance😭
instead he's thinking about what to eat for breakfast or the last kdrama he watched
he would really love to BUT he won't talk about you or your group on vlive
he so obviously avoids the topic of your group that it's kind of an inside joke in the fandom that he probably has some kind of beef with you💀
if you two were to be on the same show he honestly wouldn't know how to act fr
bro wouldn't say a word to you. or to anyone. he'd only stare at the ground. PLEASE SAVE HIM AGAIN

Yo, how you doin' ? Did you play Side Order ? What are your (gay) though ?
i'm doin alriighhtt :3 i didn't play side order actually (I don't have a switch.) but i went through a gameplay with my friend and i'm scrounging up more lore >w< we were freaking tf out the whole time. especially me. i was screaming at every cutscene
like when marina showed us her computer background i goofy-screamed Out Loud (i probably did that like 8 times in total). there's literally No straight explanation for that, pearl's literally holding marina's zipper in that and he's laying down. nonone has a pic of their Best Friend (heavy quotes) laying down smiling all pretty and handsome like that
Tumblr media
OHHHHH THIS ONEEE😭😭😭my girl is literally tearing up she's so happy😭😭😭😭😭 all the dev diaries were sooooo fwjgwgkxkgwkhcjcxjg😭😭😭😭
AND ALL THE PEARLINA???????? my GOD this girl is crazy i hate them so much!!!! /affectionate
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
jesus CHRIST girl pull yourself toGETHER... "aw pearlie! you say the coolest things" "she's sooooo coool" "pearl, don't drool over my diaries. i'm right here!" "i can't help it! pearl's just too precious. she's fearless at the core and adorable on top!" among many other marina quotes. i'm speechless
and ohhhhhh dedf1sh's letters😭😭😭😭 little marina i can't do this. i get so emotional when i see her, she was just a kid😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭AHHHHHJJJJJJJ😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
marina's hyperfixation on excavators persists. she's such a nerdddddd!!!!!!!
and ughhhghhghjf marina agitando. i was freaking out so bad when i saw her AND PARALLEL CANON. the lore implications THE LORE IMPLICATIONS×@!!!!! this also gives me some new content to use in my AU.....devilish
i said this before but the Order you see in the dlc is in my AU as a type of malware that marina created for herself. she encrypts it into the personal software she uses as an attempt to. self destruct (off) herself. but (Un)fortunately it didn't work. she's just stuck forever wallowing in her own grief
the memverse in my AU is where marina puts everyone she has under her mind control thingy. they're all hooked into the same memverse, marina has her own that she messes with to see the possible consequences of every action she does and. stuff.
and i also said this on my alt twt acc but in the Normal Side Order(...??) my agent 4 turns into parallel canon either voluntarily or unvoluntarily. and since there's others with him i decided to make them robotic clones of 8 and cap3. and they only serve to mock agent 8 and what little they remember of their lovers and themself, a materialized deteriorating memory
tbh i was more focused on the theme of side order instead of dedf1sh stuck in the elevator with two lesbians that would do the unthinkable if they weren't there
Tumblr media
here's how i see it. so much for your memories fading away while you are actively trying to get them back
i also kept freaking out At dedf1sh. i shouted them for to get off the screen each time they popped up (also affectionate). creepy zombie GET OUT. dedf1sh and their dumb puppy eyes
unconscience is sooooo good i only listened to it twice and if i did any more times i would be gone and in the woods somewhere
i loved all the bosses.........marina and parallel are my favs....also rondo. That thing's so horrifying i love it. when i saw it i was like "what kind of panopticon shit is this....." and was absolutely THRILLED! to see that it was actually based on a panopticon as well as the floor level (0ct0ptic0n)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and these album covers??????they're so fucking AWESOMEEEEeee i love the album art of splatoon. when i saw all the stuff in alterna i was so amazed. the gear is so awesome too i wish i played splatoon. i'd grind the shit out of side order tbh......smollusk is so cute the. Awwww awww
also this dlc made me realize i'm a big machine but make it girly
as Side Order C.E.O i feasted GOOD this was a bountiful harvest

when you stay up late — tanjirou, kyojuro
Author’s Note: 
 sooo, who else is a night owl? 😅
Tumblr media
when you stay up late — tanjirou, kyojuro
Kamado Tanjirou x Reader, Rengoku Kyojuro x Reader
Word Count: ~800
CW: none
Emergency Request Fulfilled: I think I’ve been exhausting my body a little tooo much, so parts of my arm and leg are beginning to hurt. I’ve also like, not been sleeping on time lately.. (cough 2am) 😭
So maybe (if you can) do a Drabble (or anything really) in which Tanjiro helps reader get some sleep on time? Maybe even help in keeping reader from exhausting her body so much?
Suggestion Fulfilled: How would Kyo react to finding his s/o up at an inhuman time late at night? What if she is playing videogames and stuffing her face with snacks or something? "my love, it's 2 in the morning!" "yes but this game is so good and I need answers!!" 😂 (def not what I've been doing)
AND AN EVEN BETTER ADDITION, what if he ends up sitting down next to her to stuff his face whilst watching the screen intently because, indeed, the game is very good and interesting and now HE needs answers? 😂😂😂
Tumblr media
Has a couple tried and true methods for helping you sleep ~early
Or at least, sleep at all if he falls asleep first, and then wakes up hrs later to you still awake 😅
Tells you stories
They’re always made up, and always ~nonsensical, but the simple act of murmuring softly beside you till your eyes begin drooping is what matters most đŸ„ș
For example:
“Once upon a time, there was a bottle of hot sauce. His name was Frank.” đŸ”„
“Tan, shouldn’t his name be RedHot, and his dad is Frank? Y’know, Frank’s RedHot?” 🧐
“You’re supposed to be relaxing, not logicafying my story.” â˜č
“Hmpf.”
 “Anyway, Frank’s best friend was an apple named Macintosh. 🍎 They went on many adventures together, from apple picking to hot wings sampling events. Their favorite festival was the applesauce and hot sauce festival where vendors from all over the land gathered to provide three days of sauces and fun.”
~at this point, you’ve fallen asleep~
Tanjirou doesn’t always know whether to feel proud or offended that you fall asleep so quickly
Like, is he that calming and soothing? đŸ„°
Orrr bOrInG?! 😭
Takes you on late night walks
Hear me out
Is going for a walk @ 2am a lil counterintuitive for going to sleep?
Yeeeah
BUT
If you’re already awake, and lying in bed isn’t helping, then a cute, moonlit walk couldn’t hurt any more 🌙
“You want to get up now?” you yawn, fixing an amused stare at Tanjirou’s bedhead
“Why not?” 😁
And altho you could technically think of plenty of this-is-why-not reasons, you shrug instead
“Okay!”
Within a block, you’re clinging to his arm, body feeling heavy and content 😮
And within two blocks, you’re whining cutely into his shoulder, “Taaanjiiirooouuu, m’sleeeeepy.” đŸ„±
11/10 you’re getting a piggyback ride home đŸ€—
Tumblr media
More often than not, Kyojuro ends up getting roped into whatever’s keeping you up đŸ„Ž
Suffering through hw?
He’ll get his own notebook, snacks, and water (to share, ofc), and keep you company đŸ€“
“My love,” he whispers—after ~30 secs—stricken faced
“Hm, Kyo?” you hardly spare him a glance, trying (and failing) to make sense of your lecture notes
“I realize now why you are still studying at 3am. This is incomprehensible!” 😖
Nonetheless, he persists along w/ you, doing his best to hide his yawns, and insisting on 1 min cuddle breaks whenever you have an epiphany aka finally understand something
By the last cuddle break, you’re falling asleep in his arms, and he doesn’t do a thing to stop you 😌
(spiritually, he fell asleep hrs ago 😃)
Fixated on a video game?
Kyojuro trusts you when you tell him, “No worries babe, go to sleep, I’ll join you in a bit!” â˜ș
He shouldn’t have 💀
Unless “a bit” always meant “sometime after 2am” đŸ€Ą
“Darling,” he rasps, blearily eyeing your focused position in front of your computer (that you haven’t moved from since he was last awake), “What time is it?” đŸ˜”â€đŸ’«
“Time to destroy this BOSS,” you exclaim, not missing a beat, nor shaken by his sudden consciousness 😎
“Do you think you have enough snacks?” he asks wryly, surroundings slowly but surely registering đŸ„šđŸ§€đŸ«đŸżđŸȘ
“Nope,” you grin, “But you can still have some.”
“Why did the screen go black?” đŸ€š
“Because I died,” you huff, “You really ought to know these things.”
“And become a gremlin like you?” he chuckles, blankets tossed aside as he shuffles himself out of bed
“A WINNER, Kyo, I’m going to be a WINNER.” đŸ˜€
“Sure, especially when I have seen that black screen at least three times in the five minutes that I have been awake.” 😉
“Y’KNOW WHAT,” you shriek indignantly, pointing a playful finger at him, “Sit and watch, this game isn’t easy.” 😒
“Is it multiplayer?” đŸ«ą
“No.” 😐
(yes, but no hell in way are you letting him join and show you up now — at least, not tonight)
“I can eat your snacks?” 😋
“As long as you promise to fetch more when they run out.”
And that’s how you and Kyo end up pulling an all nighter, eyes bloodshot, stomachs full, and very hydrated (bc water is apparently a snack too)
P.S. You eventually allow him to play w/ you (after you beat the game yourself)
P.P.S. Watching him struggle brings you immense satisfaction đŸ€ 
P.P.P.S. “Kyo, you might break your record of deaths in a minute.” “Oh hush, I am just warming up!” â€ïžâ€đŸ”„

I'M ALIVE (BARELY) !! Work is kicking my ass. Also, lots of things went wrong for me this morning, but they all worked out in the end ?? Like I forgot to set my alarm, had to bring my mom's phone to her job bc she forgot it, my bus ended up running late because the doors would get stuck at stops. But I woke up on time, caught the bus after taking the phone, and made it early to work because the bus forgot to take the detour? My luck is insane (thanks Mammon.)
ANYWAY, i can no longer contain my thoughts about Mammon x Solomon x Mc. I'm just imagining my mc and Solomon who are both very curious, and love messing around with potions at purgatory hall, and finding alternatives to rare ingredients. This has definitely gone wrong a bunch of times (most days without a potion incident: 4)
and I'm imagining Mammon tagging along bc he misses mc and is jealous that Sol is taking up their time, but denies all claims - "I'm assigned to protect ya, ain't I?" "From Solomon?" "W-Well, he's a shady sorcerer!"
He sits on the floor by mc's feet, and will fetch them things because he can't say no to them. But he spends so much time listening to them brainstorm, he starts learning and will chime in randomly. Mc and Sol who are stuck on what to add, Mammon drops something in there, and they're both horrified until they realize the potion is perfect now. He just has a little database in his mind of what to add to something, and rare ingredients that the two wish they could get their hands on.
Thinking about Mammon doing a favor for a witch and she tells him to pick anything in her collection since she's low on money. He was about to be angry when he saw an ingredient that they've both been complaining is rare and hard to find. He asks the witch for that and then brings it to the two. He acts all nonchalant about it, trying to brush it off. Mc tackles him, meanwhile Solomon is in awe and staring with a twinkle in his eye.
Now Mammon starts requesting trades with witches, for a lower portion of grimm. Gets ingredients he knows they dream about, because the way mc and sol will get all giddy after he presents them with his earnings makes his stomach flip (he will never admit this)
"This is missing something" Solomon
"Yeah but I can't figure out what" MC
"Have you tried *insert seemingly common ingredient that doesn't work for most things*" Mammon
"But no one uses that, it's why we're always stuck with it" MC
"Couldn't hurt to try. See, watch." Mammon.
"WAIT, MAMMON DON'T- ... IT WORKED!?" Mc/Sol
----
"MAMMON HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET THIS, IT ONLY BLOOMS ONCE EVERY 100 YEARS" mc
"Dunno, got it from a random witch. Said she didn't need it. *spent two hours haggling with said witch*"
"...am I in love?" Solomon, reevaluating life
"Eh? What are ya mumbling about? If you're gonna thank me, I want it loud and clear!"
my crack ship <3 they mean everything to me. I caved and hunted down the plushies of them on ebay too. ALSO I GOT TWO OF MY COMMISSIONS BACK AND I'M 😭 they're perfect !!! I'm so so happy with them. Literally the lock screen is beautiful bc it's me and mammon cuddling (HIS MUSCLES CC!! IM DYING) and it looks like it was taken by like asmo or something who walked in to wake us up.
i think I'm also a hopeless romantic, I'm just scared of confronting my feelings lol (you're right in that it is worth it, I just need to figure out how to be brave </3). I throw myself into romance books and fanfics. Vaguely related, thinking about coffee shop au with barista!Mammon and college student!Solomon.
OKAY SORRY IM DONE RAMBLING 😭 HAVE A GOOD DAYYYY
- ✹ anon
Wow that does sound like a crazy morning!! I'm glad it all worked out, though~ Mammon is totally watching out for you!
OKAY but all of that sounds exactly like Mammon! I mean, he's super smart, he just doesn't usually bother to apply himself to anything. So it totally makes sense that he'd just pick up things because he's spending time with MC and Solomon. And then of course he's gonna end up seeing rare ingredients and being like, okay yeah I'm taking that. That all sounds absolutely adorable~
I'm curious about whether or not Solomon and Mammon would make a pact in this situation? I mean, if it's both of them and your MC that are in the relationship, do you think they would? Do you think Solomon would move past his obsession with getting a pact with Lucifer and end up in one with Mammon instead?
I always felt like Solomon doesn't really get Mammon, you know? But that doesn't mean he can't learn. And oh man, Solomon is such a tease and Mammon is so not good at being teased lol. That idea is giving me so many entertaining images, I can't even handle it.
Anyway, I'm totally here for it! It sounds really cute~
I'm so glad you're happy with your comms!!! They sound amazing!
And don't worry, you'll figure it out. I don't know how old you are, but I suspect you have plenty of time! It's a balancing act, you know? It's important to be honest with yourself about your feelings without letting them control you. But it's easier to decide what to do about them if you know what they are. Anyway, not to get all philosophical over here lol. I think the key is to find someone you want to be brave for, you know?
AUGH I love coffee shop aus sooooooo much!!! I was very obsessed with the idea of barista!Mammon for a while, mostly because of a daily chat where he was working at a cafe and then got into a fight with customer. He's good at finances, so I think he could be pretty business minded if he wanted to be. So I was thinking about a situation where he owns his own cafe, but when the customers get rude with one of his fellow baristas, he gets into a fight with them lol. I hadn't really considered who that other barista was, but it could be MC.
Anyway, I could ramble about coffee shop aus all day because I love them aklsdlkfjdfjkl
I hope you have a lovely day/night, too!!

Please ramble about Tedstina I’m a total truther lol. Their chemistry was SO intense and palpable from the second Teddy stepped on screen and I agree about them not getting together whilst Teddy was mentoring her but I always thought the Henry plot was a perfect lead in to them developing something long term. Like in my head Cristina dumps Owen after he makes her lie about Henry and in Teddy’s grief and Cristina’s guilt they get closer, eventually sleeping together and then dating. Out of all the couples something about them both being so stubborn but also so clear eyed, ambitious and somewhat cold makes them the most likely to last in my opinion. A little line with Burke but this time they actually know and like each other lmao. And it would definitely be a little twisted since Cristina technically ‘killed’ Henry and then dated his widow but also it’s no darker than other weird romance plots on greys lol. Plus they would’ve been hot as hell 😭
yess you get it. okay but be forewarned this is a true ramble- it may only be vaguely coherent as i’m just going off the cuff.
exactly the chemistry is genuinely insane!!!! the thing about greys that bums me out in the early seasons is that they had an aversion to making any of their main female characters canonically queer. like, i get it, bc getting the callie storyline out there was an uphill battle. but it’s like they want to be explicitly clear all the time that cristina and meredith are both very very Straight. and that’s a whole other thing i could go on about. all this to preface that i think if the show aired now, cristina would be canonically openly queer right out the gate.
by the time teddy came along, it was still pretty early in the owen/cristina and so he hadn’t really done anything yet to make him quite so hate-able. and after hahn there was a big gap left where cristina was sorely lacking in a good mentor. burke was almost a good mentor but then you know they started canoodling and he eventually got frustrating. hahn just straight up refused to teach cristina despite her clear enthusiasm and untapped talent. then teddy comes in and it’s like
. she’s brilliant, she’s not put off by cristina’s cristinaness and she actually seems to be interested in the teaching aspect of working at a teaching hospital (which was fucking rare at that point). so i was immediately drawn to the teddy-cristina dynamic. especially with the complication of owen being the common link.
i could go on a whole other ramble about teddy and the long lasting effects that stemmed from allison’s death and the guilt about that infidelity but suffice to say by the time we meet teddy she’s pretty messed up about love.
and as we know, cristina has a long history of being attracted to mentor figures.
i think that with teddy’s infatuation with owen being shut down on his end pretty early on (despite him doing a total one eighty in the later seasons and claiming to have always loved her 🙄) it opened the door for her to realize WHY she was attracted to him in the first place (a best friend she made in a war zone shortly after the allison tragedy, him already being in a relationship).
SO anyway teddy meets cristina. they’re both in love (?🙄) with owen, they are both passionate about the same specialty, they both have tragedy and failed romance in their pasts.
and i see what you mean about them being very similar. but they are also opposite (and therefore perfectly complimentary) in a lot of ways. i personally think teddy is a lot more optimistic than she appears. she’s not easily discouraged. i also like that right off the bat she recognizes cristina’s talent, takes a liking to her, and is kind of just impervious to cristina’s dislike/wariness of her. i think it’s so funny how almost everyone but meredith is at first really put off by cristina’s bluntness or outright offended by her but teddy is just like “i respect your skill, i’m not gonna take any shit, i know i’m great at my job so let me do it and we’ll be chill”
i think that the conversation about teddy wanting to leave and cristina begging her to stay and yelling that teddy can have owen was a turning point for both of them. i think they both had a lot of revelations.
AND THEN i think the saga of henry’s death was also a major turning point for their relationship. i don’t think this would make their relationship that twisted tbh bc i don’t think teddy ever saw it that way. i think if she blamed anyone other than herself, it was owen (which, yeah bc the way he handled that was fucking bonkers). and i’ve seen a lot of frustrating stuff (mostly on tiktok lol which i have to stay away from bc there’s rarely any nuance on there when it comes to fandom/media discussions) about how teddy repeatedly grilling cristina about henry’s death was the worst thing she ever did and she was punishing cristina or something. but i think that that isn’t true at all in the slightest. it was fucked up and brutal and it was a grief response that was terribly unfair to cristina, but i think it actually showed the two of them being on the same wavelength in a lot of ways. cristina isn’t fazed (at least visibly) by teddy’s need to hear it over and over. bc i think she understood why teddy needed to hear it. they both deal with grief by making it about the facts and about the medicine. teddy needed to know that there is nothing anyone could have done to save him so that she doesn’t feel like she has another death on her hands. and i think cristina gets that because of her backstory with her fathers death. AGAIN i think they just get each other in ways that owen never got either of them.
AND HOW COULD I NOT MENTION THAT TEDDY HAS ACTUALLY SAID “i’m in love with cristina yang”
ANYWAY i personally have this AU idea in my head where they cross paths in europe and reconnect.

Reissued Post - Backstory
Author's Note: Because Tumblr was having issues when I posted the original version of this, some of my followers are having trouble accessing it. I'm reissuing a few of my side piece stories so everyone can read them.

When do you think Lloyd realized he cared and had feelings for princess? I recall in the story that the guys would give Lloyd a hard time when princess finally found a boyfriend that Lloyd would be devastated (poor thing 😭) I also kinda wanna know how he felt while she was dating Aiden. Obviously we know he didn’t like Aiden at ALL lol but did Lloyd ever feel hurt in a way watching princess go on dates with him and when she talked about him?
Learning about Aiden
“Why are you being such a space case?” 
You jumped at Lloyd’s question, startled out of your own little world. Scrambling, you shut your screen and re-focused. 
“Sorry. I was distracted. What were you saying?”
Lloyd’s sharp blue eyes narrowed. 
“Who are you texting?” 
“Uh
 no one?”
He leaned back in his desk chair and looked at you steadily. You curled tighter into the couch on the other side of his office, looking down at the floor. 
“I still have that report to do
 maybe I should go work in my office. I don’t want to distract you.” 
“I’m already distracted, Princess. What’s the big secret?” 
“I met a guy. You know that alumni mixer I went to a few weeks ago?”
Lloyd grunted. “Yeah.” 
“His name is Aiden LeDoux. He moved in similar circles to me during college. We kind of hit it off.”
“That’s LeDoux, spelled like the country singer? What state does he live in?” Lloyd asked. 
He typed the name into a search engine with the word, ‘Virginia’ to filter the results. 
“Twenty-six, graduated three years ago, and works for AVT security?”
“That’s him. What did you find out?”
Lloyd glanced over. “You haven’t run a background check on him?”
“No. That’s for when I’m deciding whether to go on a date with him. But I’m curious.” 
“Ah. Let’s do this.” 
Lloyd cracked his knuckles and leaned over his computer. Your phone dinged with a message from Aiden, which you responded to as Lloyd typed. 
“No speeding tickets, no parking tickets. His academic record was less than stellar. Apparently he subscribes to the philosophy that C’s get degrees.” 
“Not everyone is academically inclined,” you said. 
“But you are. What will you guys talk about on a date if you have nothing in common?”
“I don’t know. Football?” 
Lloyd snorted. “Doesn’t start until September.” 
“Oh. That’s why you’re not showering me with long winded descriptions of the athletic accomplishments of people I don’t know.” 
“You could always mention how happy you were that the Atlanta Braves won the Superbowl.” 
Your eyes narrowed. “I know that’s wrong, but I’m not sure which part.” 
Lloyd snickered. “If you have to comment, just say that you’re a fan of anyone who isn’t the New England Patriots.” 
“Noted. Anything else on Aiden? Slaps on the wrist from university institutions, or other authorities?”
“Ah-ha. He has three parking tickets at the university. And a complaint for under age drinking. You should reconsider the date. He’s clearly an alcoholic who steals parking spots. One of these tickets was for him parking over the line. Disgusting.”
You laughed. “Terrible. He was probably drunk when he parked. Maybe even high.” 
Lloyd toggled over to a different page, one that Jake had set up for him. He typed in Aiden’s information and was surprised to see several security clearances. He checked out the company he worked for and found they had several Department of Defense contracts. 
Lloyd memorized the contracts and filed the information away for future use. 
Just in case. 
Date # 1
You were wearing a short black dress with tights and a blazer. He’d noticed the hemline was shorter than usual, but the jet black tights made it work appropriate. The color only served to highlight the shape of your legs. Lloyd had tried not to be distracted. He failed miserably. 
It didn’t help that the cut of the dress perfectly flattered your figure. He caught a glimpse of a spaghetti strap underneath your jacket and the image circulated in the back of his head for the rest of the day. 
Fuck. He needed to get laid. 
You were his friend and he needed to put aside this nonsense. The chemistry between you would never be realized and that was for the best. He sometimes wondered if the chemistry he felt was all one sided. Maybe you only saw him as a friend and a coworker, not a man. 
“Has Y/N mentioned that she has a date tonight?” Jake asked. 
Lloyd stiffened. “No. Why?”
“Just wondering.” 
He tried to brush off the irritation, but it bubbled up throughout the day. 
You had a date. That was fine. It was what single people did, right? They went on dates. He could arrange a date of his own, if he liked. With an age appropriate woman and not someone who was starting on soft foods when he was choosing a college. Lloyd’s eye twitched. 
He glanced at the clock. If he wanted an update on the insurance investigation reports he needed to catch you before you head out. Reluctantly, he set off down the hall for your office. 
Your door was closed, so he knocked. 
“Just a sec!” 
Did you sound breathless? When you opened the door, he saw why. The black tights were gone. In their place was a different kind of tights, made of mesh with a floral pattern that wound around your legs making them look long and sexy. The blazer was gone and your dress was held up by the thinnest of straps connected to a tight fitting bodice. 
Your height was different, which prompted him to look down. 
Fuck me heels. That’s what they’d called shoes like that when he was young. As the saying went, ‘you can’t walk in them, but you can wear them in bed.’ 
“What do you think?” you asked. 
“Is this a first date?” 
“Yes.” 
“Do you have any concerns about breaking an ankle? Or perhaps an entire leg?”
The shoes bothered him more than the dress. 
You laughed and turned to the mirror you’d hung on the far wall of your office. He watched as you applied a fresh coat of red lip lacquer. The shiny finish made him think it wasn't lipstick, but at the same time, it had more color than lipgloss. He wondered if it was one of those fancy products with the no transfer formulas. The kind women usually wore when they planned on kissing a man. 
A vibrant image of you on your knees with your lips around his dick came to mind. Lloyd shook his head to dislodge the image. 
“Okay, now what do you think?”
“You look beautiful.” 
He genuinely meant it.
“Really?” You tilted your head. “What’s missing? Please, just tell me.”
“Well
 maybe it’s the context, but you don’t look like you in this outfit. It’s probably just me. I usually l see you in office wear.” 
You flashed him a smile. “That’s perfect. I’m going more for attention than authenticity, you know?”
He didn’t, and couldn’t untangle the concept behind your statement. The authentic you was a far better version than this glamorous photo shoot ready version of you. With a quick peck on his cheek, you skirted by him and down the hall to the elevator. 
Lloyd stood there, confused, disgruntled, and irritated that he hadn’t even asked about the insurance investigation he’d planned to bring up. He rubbed a hand over his face. 
Fucking hell. 
When he stepped into your office to lock the door, he caught a glimpse of himself in the mirror. An imprint of red lipstick was on his right cheek. He stared at it for a long moment before he rubbed it away with his thumb. 
Lloyd returned to his office in a much better mood than he’d left it.
Date #3 
Jake had informed him of your last date, but this time it was Zach who let him know you were going on your third date with Aiden. 
Lloyd ground his teeth. 
“Careful there. Don’t crack a molar.” 
“Shut. Up.” 
“Would I do a thing like that?” Zach asked. 
He was grinning like a little boy with a sadistic streak and a magnifying glass on a bright summer day. 
“You’re enjoying this.”
“Heck yeah, I am. Have you met the dude?” 
Lloyd’s head swiveled. “No. Have you?”
“Yep. I waited outside, pretending to be on a call, so I could catch a glimpse.” 
“That’s creepy.” 
“No, it’s being nosy. I’m a private investigator. Being nosy is literally my job.” 
“Well?” Lloyd said. 
“He’s six foot three and probably weighs one forty. It’s like looking at a baby colt - all arms and legs, no substance.” 
This was great news. If you weren’t attracted to him this would probably be over quickly.
“Did you to talk to him?”
Zach smirked. “I texted her that you needed an update on the insurance case and cornered him in the lobby.” 
“She’s going to kill you when she finds out.” 
“I bought him a coffee and did a twenty minute interrogation. He didn’t even know what I was doing. He thought I was just being friendly.” 
Friendly wasn’t a word often applied to Zach Hightower. Lloyd got along with the Texan because they shared a devious streak and could lose themselves in the hunt; especially when the prey was other human beings. 
“Give me your impression.”  
“He’s squirrely. I don’t like him one bit.”
Lloyd focused completely on Zach. 
“In what way?”
“He used the phrase ‘I was in a mood,’ and not ‘my mood was.’ Stuff like that. Princess got pretty annoyed when she found me getting cozy with her boyfriend.” 
“She probably thought I sicced you on him.” 
“She asked me what I thought of him this morning and I had to dodge the question,” Zach said. “Landon noticed I didn’t answer and asked what was up. When I told him about interviewing Aiden, he said the mood thing is a sign of a personality problem.” 
“What kind?”
Zach shrugged. “The kind that makes you an asshole.” 
“She’s going out with him tonight?” 
“I guess so.” Zach said. 
A long moment passed as Zach stared at Lloyd, expectant. 
“Well?” 
Lloyd raised an eyebrow. “What?”
“Aren’t you going to say something to her?” Zach asked. 
“You’re the one who thinks her boy toy has a personality problem. You say something.” 
“Landon said that, not me. I can tell he’s the kind of guy things just ‘happen’ to. The kind that doesn’t realize they’re responsible for how they act.” 
“I’m not going to disturb her relationship.” 
Zach sighed. “You’re such a bitchy little girl.” 
Lloyd sneered. “And you’re a nosy old woman.” 
“It’s my job, asshole.”
Date #5
Lloyd should’ve been suspicious when Zach brought him to a bar that didn’t have chandeliers made of antlers. 
Obstensivey, this outing was to distract him from your date tonight. When he found himself sitting at a table on the mezzanine of a place called “Club Violet,” questions should have come up. 
Jake sat to his left and Zach across from him. When Zach’s eyes began to stray around the room, Lloyd mimicked the behavior, almost out of habit. The lower area held the majority of the crowd. Its large dance floor pulsed with activity and the bar was packed. 
Then, he saw what Zach was looking for. You were perched on a barstool, your arms twined around Aiden’s neck. He was standing in front of you, his hands caressing your hips, straying lower than they ought to. 
Lloyd’s breath hissed. “Jake, if I throw Zach head first over this railing, do you think he’ll die?” 
“Huh?” Jake’s head snapped up from his phone. He stared. “What?”
“I could just snap his neck with my bare hands.” Lloyd’s tone was conversational. 
Jake looked between them and then back to his phone. “Landon will be here any minute.”
“Off topic, boy wonder,” Lloyd grumbled. 
“It’s relevant. We need two of us to break you up.”
“He’s been waylaid,” Zach said.
Lloyd glanced down and saw that your position had changed. You’d let go of your boyfriend to speak with a newcomer. Even from a distance in dim lighting, he could identify Landon’s fade haircut and the military straight posture. 
“Damn it.”
He snarled at Zach, who returned a Cheshire cat grin. 
“Well, well, well
 look who's coming up the steps.”
Lloyd didn’t need to look. He knew you’d be on your way over. He covered his eyes and groaned. 
“I’m blaming you for everything. Everything.”
“Why are you guys playing the role of protective older brothers?” Jake asked.
“Because Aiden’s a squirrely little punk,” Zach said. “See? He isn’t even coming with her.”
Lloyd uncovered his eyes and frowned when he saw Zach was right. Aiden was still at the bar. He’d turned to a girl with raven’s wing hair and was chattering away, looking suspiciously like he was trying to pick her up. His eyes narrowed as something cold moved in his chest. 
You arrived on the second level with Landon and were rapidly approaching.
“What’s our cover story?” Jake asked.
“No cover story,” Zach said.
At least Zach was being straightforward, even if he was obnoxious. Lloyd tossed back half of his bourbon and hoped some liquid courage would take the edge off. 
Your eyes cut to Zach when you stopped at the head of the table.
“What are you? The Gladys Kravits of Bishop & Howard?” 
The big, blond Texan flashed a smile. 
“Why thank you, sweetheart. In my profession, that’s the highest compliment one could hope to achieve.” 
With an exasperated groan, you dropped into the chair beside Zach, and turned to Lloyd with an expectant expression.
“Can’t you collar him?”
“I’ve tried. Shock collars, choke chains
 Nothing has worked.” 
Zach slung an arm around the back of Princess’ chair. 
“Your boyfriend is an asshole. Landon? You talked to him.”
“Just for ten seconds.”
You shared a look with the dark haired man and slanted Zach a sidelong glance. 
“You’re paranoid. I think you should see someone about that.”
He laughed. “I have. They can’t fix me.”
It was annoying that Zach’s arm had moved forward on your chair and was now pressed against your back. Did he think he was your best friend, rather than Lloyd? He had the urge to kick the other man under the table. 
You turned to Jake.
“What do you think?”
“I think you’re right. These two,” he gestured to the older men, “are crazy. I think it’s age.”
“Shut up, punk. I can kick your ass any day of the week,” Zach said.
It was pretty much true. Zach only had two inches in height on the young man, but it was the solid 60 pounds of muscle that made him an immovable force. You couldn’t see the weight until he took off his jacket and even then, there was only a hint of the musculature. Zach never wore clothing that drew attention to his physique. He let it come as a nasty surprise to anyone stupid enough to mess with him. 
You were bantering with the Texan about him being your nanny. Lloyd watched closely and all he could see in Zach’s behavior was a paternal kind of affection. He knew a thing or two about Zach and because of that, he doubted there were any hidden motivations behind his actions.
What about Aiden had triggered Zach’s instincts? The way he talked. The lack of ownership of behavior. Lloyd tried to evaluate that on its own, treating it as fact. He could see the issue Zach was insisting was such a problem. Sitting there with the others bantering around the table, Lloyd turned his thoughts inward, pretending to present as he ran through the logic in his mind. 
He was paying enough attention to the conversation to notice you were gently trying to soothe Zach’s nerves. It seemed to be working, too. Landon was watching you closely and asking questions from interrogation school 101. By the time you left the table, pausing to hug Zach and reassure him that you were totally fine and had listened to all of his red flags, Lloyd had come to a decision. 
“What do you think?” Zach asked Landon when you were gone.
“I’m not sure. He seems insecure but hey, some guys of his age just are.” 
Zach groaned and shook his head. He picked up his beer and tilted it at Lloyd in a salute. 
“Look at the benefits of being nosy. I talked some sense into her.” 
Lloyd grunted. He waited for the right moment to corner Landon alone. He caught his shoulder and turned him away from the bar, where he’d been heading. 
“Come on. You don’t need another beer.” 
“Excuse me?” Landon demanded. 
“I want to talk to this Aiden kid. If Zach’s this worried about him, we need to check him out.”
“When did this become ‘we,’ rather than just you,” Landon asked. 
“Hurry up, we’re losing him.” 
Aiden was heading toward the door and the crowd prevented them from following as closely as they would have preferred. By the time they hit the sidewalk, Aiden was out of sight. Lloyd spun around, scanning the area. 
“Shit. We lost him.” 
“Is that him?” Landon asked. 
Lloyd whirled. 
He searched the crowd for a tall, thin man but didn’t find him. 
“Where?”
“With the blonde.”
Lloyd’s eyes narrowed on the silhouette of a couple standing in the shadow of a street lamp. 
“Are you sure?” he asked. 
“No,” Landon said. 
Lloyd was almost ready to approach when the couple turned and began walking away. 
Landon grabbed his elbow. 
“Come on. Let’s not be weird. If you have something to say about Princess’ relationship, say it to her.” 
“What, exactly, am I supposed to tell her that Zach hasn’t already?” 
Landon snorted. 
“You know he’s only saying it because he knows you won’t.” 
Lloyd paused. “He is?”
“Yeah. We were expecting you to meet him at least before date number three. But she said you didn’t seem interested, so she wasn’t going to bother.” 
“Why didn’t you tell me this?”
“Because we talked about it-”
“We? We, as in who?”
“Everyone. Except for you and Princess.”
Lloyd grunted. “Which is why Zach decided to get nosy.”
Landon shrugged. “He’s your best friend and you’re her best friend. It balances out. We get why you don’t want to step in, and that’s why Zach did.” 
They were nearly at the entrance of the club again, when Lloyd stopped short. 
“Should I be worried about this guy?”
Landon grunted, rocking back on his heels. The look on his face was all the answer Lloyd needed. 
“Right. I’ll look into it.”

Oh god, here goes nothing. (Maybe a lil' long, sorry in advance)
Just something for everyone to laugh at amidst all the ship discourse posts... Well, laugh or maybe stare at your screen in horror because your mind fails to comprehend what it had just read.
Anyway, I'm so fucking jealous of y'all. Everyone is fixating on main characters (Aang, Katara, Sokka, Azula, Korra, etc.) and popular ships and therefore have plenty of content to enjoy, meanwhile my dumbass of a brain decided to hyperfixate on FUCKING SOZIN. Like,,, I fucking wish I could control my hyperfixations because what is that??? Like, I guess I have my reasons to really like him, but it's so awkward when it comes to trying to explain it?? Like, I love him for all the potential his character has and I delude myself by thinking of various scenarios where I could study Sozin's character. I shit you not, I have SEVERAL AUs THAT REVOLVE AROUND THIS MAN. And I guess I had drawn in him as a cute J-Pop idol once or twice... or more... (Hey, this is tame compared to the stuff that are done in other fandoms that I'm in... Also Idol!AUs rock and are made for totally analytical and critical goals /s)
AND THE FUNNIEST FUCKING PART IS THAT IT'S NOT NEW I HAVE BEEN DELUDING ABOUT THIS MAN FOR THREE FUCKING YEARS NOW. THREE YEARS 😭😭
And needless to say, when it comes to the content with this man... Oh, what content, nobody gives a shit about Sozin. Like, it's literally just me and the archived rozin drawings from 2007 or some shit.
And just the fact that I'm hyperfixating on a character that has almost no screen time, who's design is not meant to be appealing at all (THOUGH HE'S VERY GORGEOUS TO ME) and that the fandom has all the right reasons to hate Sozin is just... mindboggling
How did this even happen... Why is this happening to me, I don't understand it. Was it something that I did or said?
Anyway, next time you feel down about the fact that your favourite character is misunderstood, is unpopular or has little content... remember me and realize that it's not that bad, because at least you're not nearly as much of a loser as I am lmao.
Anyway, I'm off drawing Sozin in Mobius' clothes (the one from hi3). Don't worry, I won't post it anywhere, I'm keeping it to myself, so your eyes would be spared of this monstrosity.
Peace and thank you for listening to me 💞

these bitches, specifically human marshall lee and human gary prince, are so wolfstar coded and i will die on this hill
Tumblr media
in this essay i will
CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR FIONA & CAKE EPS 1-8
okay first let’s talk about human marshall lee.
what do we know about him from eps 1-8 Adventure Time: Fiona & Cake?
Tumblr media
black leather jacket
mommy issuesâ„ąïž
from rich family that he doesn’t agree with
doesn’t want to be his family’s heir
mother only accepts him if he fits into a certain mold
plays guitar (popular sirius hc)
“bad boy” who secretly grew up rich
cares very deeply about the people he loves (which are not his biological family)
punk rock fashion and attitude
talkative and fairly outgoing
shorter than gary
obviously, most of what we know about younger sirius is based off of headcanons but marshall seems like such a sirius variant.
now onto to gary prince-
Tumblr media
sweaters, jackets and scarves dressed very cozily
old man energy
very dedicated to his work (like remus with academic validation)
ambitious
over-thinker to the max
often lost in his own little world
fantasy as escapism
creates in depth stories and lore (writer remus is a widely accepted hc)
introverted but still stands up for his beliefs
has a nighttime secret (sneaking into the bakery)
broke
quick temper
tall n lanky
nerd
he is so AU remus
now moving onto their dynamic together- so many scenes between them could easily be applicable to wolfstar.
figure 1. punk (also flirting)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
figure 2. marshall wanting to know all about gary’s special interest/writing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
figure 3. comforting over mommy issues
Tumblr media Tumblr media
figure 4. gary pulling (saving) marshall from his manipulative mother
Tumblr media
there were so many scenes that just made me feel like i was reading a wolfstar fanfic. the way marshall listens to gary and tries to help him achieve his dreams, even though he doesn’t have many concrete ambitions of his own, and the way gary protects and comforts marshall lee screams wolfstar. additionally, the archetypes marshall and gary fall into are very similar to the archetypes that sirius and remus fall into, which consequently creates a similar relationship dynamic.
tldr: marshall lee and gary prince are a wolfstar variant because they’re literally AUs of each other.
edit credits for the screen caps used: (these edits helped me to realize just how similar they are to wolfstar)

Yellowjackets 2.02 Thoughts:
Shauna talking to Jackie’s dead ghost is so fucking haunting. The utter banality of the talk, and yet, at the same time, Jackie always urging Shauna towards some sort of precipice, whether it’s confessing the “truth” or acknowledging that she’s the one holding the knife. No one’s doing homoerotic fucked up besties like them. 😭
Tai and Lottie both caring for Shauna makes me tender.
God, I really appreciate Callie’s character. Her parents are really messing her up, and yet, even as she’s cognizant of this, one of the things she seems to be hurt by most is the fact that neither of them have registered that she’s gone. She talks about using the vape to numb herself into oblivion. And that’s exactly how Shauna feels every single day.
TAISSA POUNDING ESPRESSO AFTER ESPRESSO. REFUSING TO SLEEP. HER REFLECTION MOVING. MA’AM, SEEK HELP.
The fucking no-eyed man. I can deal with the extensive gore. I can handle the cannibalism. But THIS GUY. Every time he comes on my screen, I McFreakin’ lose it. What is his DEAL?
Also, why tf is this show so darkly lit? Showtime, do better.
Sophie Thatcher perfectly replicating Juliette’s cadence is always so incredible to me!!!!! Of the casting pairs, I’ve always thought they look the least alike appearance wise, but goddamn, Sophie nails the mannerisms.
“We are an intentional community turning suffering into strength.” Lmao, Lottie. Also, adult Lottie is so, so pretty.
“It’s heliotrope, it’s not purple.” AKQKWKDJWJS.
Lottie treating Lisa like an underpaid intern about the drink, lmfao. Loving adult Lottie’s vibes so far. Her entire enlightened act is so performative, but simmering underneath, is that same uneasy energy that the rest of our core four has. To take the analogy further, she’s seemed to take the Tai and Shauna route of trying to repress what happened in the woods and pretend like everything’s fine. She’s fine. Of course she’s paired with Nat, the perpetual realist here.
Shauna trying to reach out to Callie and being rebuffed at every attempt. It’s not necessarily that it’s too little, too late, and more that she’s ignoring the elephant of a body in the room, trying to move past it, like she always does. Hhhhhghhh.
Misty’s screensaver being a stock photo of ultra cute kittens is perfect. ANQKWOQWODJ, MISTY ANGRILY REPLYING ON “REDDIT” AND THEN REALIZING SHE MADE A TYPO. WKQKWKSJDJAJ.
THE MAKEUP ON JACKIE. GODDAMN.
Tai confronting Shauna is so fucking painful. Sophie NĂ©lisse utterly shutting down. Lottie defending her. I’m so unwell. They both care for her so much, and there’s also this added element of Taissa trying to run from her own demons by making Shauna confront her own.
Taissa and Shauna’s relationship genuinely might be my favorite on this show in both timelines. Like, it is so complicated and raw and brutal and simultaneously so loving. Hhhggsghhhshhh.
Kevyn showing up. Oh, God. Oh, God. And Shauna fuckin’ lying. LISTEN, I objectively know they’re not going to stick Melanie Lynskey in jail (at least for long), but still, I can’t wait for this storyline to be resolved.
KEVYN CATCHING HER IN THE LIE. GODDAMN. BABY GIRL, MISTY MADE YOU A COOKIE TELLING YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY.
AND SHE’S STILL LYING. GIRLFRIEND,THEY CAN SUPBOENA YOUR TEXTS OR SOMETJING.
Callie stepping in to help her mom. I’m actually so tender about their effed up relationship, it’s unreal.
“So you lied to be feminist?” KQQKKWEKDJDJEJEJNSWHAJS.
“At least go through the back in case he’s still out there.” I’m unwell.
Sammy showing up. Hhhhgh. As upsetting as it is that Simone is being so cautious and cold towards Taissa, it is so warranted after finding your beloved family dog beheaded in the basement as part of some fucked up sacrificial altar.
Elijah Wood!!!!!!!!!! AKWKDNNSS. THE KNEE HIGH SOCKS WITH THE SHORTS.
NAT FAKING JAVI’S DEATH, OH, MY FUCKING GOD. CUTTING HERSELF TO FAKE BLOOD. THIS SHOW.
Poor Travis. Oh, my God.
Adult Travis!! The fact that he calls Lottie as well
 Simone Kessell is doing such a wonderful job with Lottie; her rage and fear in the Travis flashbacks are compelling.
GOD. TRAVIS INITIATING THIS RITUAL. Whether we can trust that Lottie’s telling the truth, that remains to be seen, but I do think the fact that they’re accompanying the story with a bonafide flashback makes me think that they want us to take it at least some of it at face value.
THE ZOMBIE FUCKING LAURA LEE HALLUCINATION. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. The tenderness in her eyes before LL stepped out of the shadows, though. Lottie/Laura Lee truthers rise up.
Also, adult Lottie/Nat have very good chemistry.
THERE BEING A CHAIN ON TAISSA’S GODDAMN DOOR. DID SHE HALLUCINATE HER SON? UM.
WHERE THE FUCK ARE SAMMY AND STEVE, TAI? 😭
Oh, God. The debate about Jackie’s clothes. So brutal. Like the earlier cabin scenes in this ep. showed, the tensions between the girls are reaching a fever pitch.
Lottie seeing the cut on Jackie’s arm, but not being judgmental about it. Giving her the necklace. 😭😭
Callie, don’t flirt with that grown ass man. Nooooooo.
Callie lying and saying she’s a student at Rutgers, the same school Jackie and Shauna were supposed to go to. ;-;
Shauna going to light the pyre when Nat was confronting Lottie. Hhhhgh.
“I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE YOU END AND I BEGIN.” NOT A BLURRED MARGINS LINE. FUCK ME UP.
Travis adding Javi’s pants to the fire. 😭 Lottie and Tai being the ones who escort Shauna away. Hhhhhshhhhhhgh.
I’m so excited to see the other adults interact with Lottie.
Nat having a clearly traumatic flashback when she lays down

AWNDNSNSN, THE BLACKLIGHT NOTE.
THE DUDE CALLIE WAS FLIRTINT WITH BEING A DETECTIVE. JESUS.
Kevyn being soft on Shauna. ;w; I really do like him, and I’m glad they brought him back.
Not Travisnat having sex on the eve when he just found out his brother is dead. NOT HIM ENVISIONING LOTTIE. WOOF.
THE TWISTING AERIAL PERSPECTIVE. SNOW FALLING ON TOP OF JACKIE’S PYRE. OH, MY GOD. IT’S???????? IT’S SMOKING HER. IT’S FUCKING COOKING HER FOR REAL.
TAI HALLUCINATED SAMMY. OH, MY GOD.
“You are

[CN] MLQC Lucien’s Crazy date translation
⚠ SPOILER ALERT!! ⚠
This post contains a detailed spoiler for a date that has not been released in EN yet! Feel free to notify me if there are any mistakes in the translation~
Tumblr media
Translation under the cut!
(T/N: Very recommended to follow along the date because hnghh, I have never heard him this happy and alive before 😭. Sadly, I don't have this card, so I can't subtitle it myself. But you can check the date recording here in this link.)
Tumblr media
The sea breeze passed through the moonlight, bringing the warmth of winter to the south.
I was leaning in Lucien's arms, watching the gripping movie plot on the projector with great interest.
Keeping the same position will inevitably make my back ache, but I don't want to leave his arms.
Just as I adjusted my posture for the third time without making any noise, a soft pillow was placed under my waist.
MC: ...?
Raising my head in a daze, I met Lucien's smiling eyes.
Tumblr media
MC: How can you still catch my little move?
Tumblr media
Lucien: If it hadn't been for the fact that you made me feel a little tickled, maybe it won't be so quickly discovered.
I laughed and rubbed against the crook of his arm before looking back at the screen.
A few days ago, Lucien was invited to a New Year's Eve party hosted by his research colleagues. The party isn't formal. It's mainly for relaxation and communication.
So at his suggestion, I was happy to accompany him. We arrived early and rented a small manor to start our vacation time.
During the day, we walked around with the camera, and at night we nestled on the sofa, drinking wine and watching movies.
No work and no worries, just a happy and relaxed us.
Tumblr media
??: Mary, I've figured out that even if my life were to stop tomorrow, I would still be on the end of the road
Mary: Then I'll go crazy with you and accompany you until the end.
The main character, who has been sentenced with the "death penalty" is dressed in a hospital gown. But his pale face is radiant as he and Mary dragged the IV and ran toward the hospital gates.
The sunset dragged their long shadows, and they took a long way away with each step. It was only when the gorgeous images jumped out of the black end credits that I realized the film was over.
After exhaling a deep breath, I noticed elderly people with gray hair appearing on the left side of the credits one by one.
Tumblr media
??: Love is the most important thing in the world.
??: Life is always crazy. You want it? Just get it!
I was deeply touched by their sincere advice to young people, and I felt as if there was a hot fire burning in my heart.
Perhaps in the long road, I also need to have this impulse to run for the heart's desire more often.
MC: Lucien...
While thinking, I sat up and looked earnestly into those long, narrow eyes.
Tumblr media
Lucien: What to do? I seem to have guessed MC is about to stir up troubles.
(T/N: è ąè ąæŹČ抹 is an idiom meaning to begin to stir (idiom) / to get restless / to become threatening)
He raised his chin and narrowed his eyes. His magnetic voice fell on my ears.
Lucien: (whisper) You seem to want to do something you've never done before.
Lucien: Just like the protagonist of this movie, he leaves some out-of-the-ordinary, crazy traces in this world.
Tumblr media
MC: ...
He said it almost perfectly and even poetically summed it up for me. I pouted and lightly jabbed him on the arm.
MC: No fun. I just ignited three minutes of enthusiasm, and then 80% of it was doused by a clever man!
Tumblr media
He intentionally frowned in distress, took me into his arms, and nuzzled against the tip of my nose.
Tumblr media
Lucien: (in that grieving tone) So what should I do? I don't know if I have a chance to atone for it...
Lucien: Let's get your three-minute enthusiasm going again.
His eyes rested between my lips almost imperceptibly. Without waiting for me to react, a soft sensation gently sealed my breath.
He slowly teased and nibbled on my lips as if trying to increase the heat little by little.
Lucien: (whisper very, VERY hoarsely) MC, tell me... what were you trying to do just now?
I subconsciously intended to speak but caught an inch of his smile in my dazed vision.
....He was leading me by nose again.
I drew back to my senses and pulled my neck away, escaping from the air that was getting thinner.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Looks like my atonement wasn't enough.
Lucien smiled, and another kiss fell on the corner of my eye. His fingertips restlessly touched and lingered on my waist, making me tremble lightly.
And he had no intention of letting me go. His other hand was covering my eyes as if to block all possibility of me ever coming to my senses.
The string called reason shook and swayed as the kiss slowly moved downward, and I buried my face in his coat.
Tumblr media
MC: Lucien, be serious.
MC: If this continues even further, I really won't be able to think anymore!
Tumblr media
His chest trembled gently under my cheeks as if it was enduring something unbearable.
Tumblr media
Lucien: [chuckle] In fact, you don't need to spend time thinking about it.
I pulled my head out of his embrace. I watched in a daze as he took a sip from a glass of wine on the table and casually swayed my fingers with his other hand.
Lucien: Crazy thoughts are inherently irrational.
Lucien: So when these thoughts come up, it's better to follow your heart than to think about it more deeply.
(thinking of his sp date-)
Looking at his serious look, I raised my cheeks and looked up and down.
Tumblr media
MC: It always feels strange to hear such words from Professor Lucien's mouth, who usually speaks sensibly.
Lucien: Is that so?
Tumblr media
Lucien: Reason and madness may sound like opposites, but sometimes they can exist at the same time.
MC: But isn't it usually when you lose your mind that you get called "crazy"?
Tumblr media
Seeing that I objected, Lucien smiled and raised his hand to rub my nose.
Lucien: MC, we tend to think that reason is about what we shouldn't or should do.
Lucien: But in many cases, "unreasonable" is not the same as "wrong".
Lucien: It's just not predictable.
I couldn't help but think of the movie I just saw, where the main character's life changed in amazing ways when he did things he would never have done before.
My heart felt moved, so I sat up and kissed the person in front of me.
Tumblr media
MC: Hey, is it like this?
Lucien was stunned by my sudden movement and slightly bent his eyes.
Tumblr media
Lucien: This seems to be only a start.
Lucien: After all, this happens to me every day, doesn't it?
MC: It seems this kind of "crazy" to do whatever I want is not enough to satisfy our Professor Lucien.
I said as I intentionally rested my eyes between his lips. My hands slid down to his chest little by little and slowly pressed close to his body.
Lucien seems to have guessed my mind and letting me go close, but the palm of his hand is covering my waist like declaring the initiative.
Seeing that he would pull me close to his arms, I quickly used my hands to resist against his chest.
Tumblr media
MC: I admit defeat. I really can't "fight" you and win!
He raised the corners of his lips in triumph, leaned over, and picked up the glass to hand it to me.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Anything else you want to do tonight?
Lucien: For example, finishing the landscape you painted yesterday or taking the scones out of the fridge for a midnight snack?
I pondered and took a sip of wine. The choking warmth slid into my stomach.
MC: ...I haven't thought about it. Why don't we do what you said, think of something, and then do it?
MC: Anyway, it's a holiday, so relax your tense nerves and don't worry about anything.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Okay. Then I won't worry about it. The painting can be done at another time.
Lucien: If you don't feel like eating a late-night snack, you can also wait until tomorrow to eat the scones that have missed their optimal taste.
MC: Pfft...
What he said made me burst into laughter. I got up, took my wine, and slowly looked around the room.
When I glanced over the spiral staircase, my eyes lit up, and I happily pointed to the slanted moonlight on the steps.
MC: Lucien, look. I can't believe that just by watching a movie, the clouds have dispersed and the stars have come out.
I looked up at the transparent dome and gazed at the stunning view of the galaxy.
MC: Is it just me, or is the air quality really good these few days. Why does it seem like the stars are getting brighter each day?
As I joked around, Lucien also sat down beside me, holding a wine glass.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Then I guess we'll be seeing even more dazzling stars over the next few days.
I laughed and pretended to look at him in a serious way.
MC: Lucien, you can't use the fact that you are a professor to speak nonsense.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Can't I make a joke?
I reached out and poked his cheek.
Tumblr media
MC: You can, but your face is so deceiving that I can easily take anything you say seriously.
Seeing that Lucien was amused by me and laughed, I nuzzled against his shoulder in a good mood.
MC: Say, if we just sit here and watch the stars all night until sunrise

MC: Would that be a crazy thing to do?
Lucien: Hmmm... I don't think it's necessary to measure the scale of craziness.
Tumblr media
Lucien: As long as that is something you want to do, whether you sit here all night or sit for five minutes and then return to bed
.
Lucien: It's all good.
Tumblr media
Everything is tranquil and time seems to slow down, making my senses increasingly clear.
I can hear the wind blowing through the curtain at the window and the sound of Lucien's hair rustling in my ears.
I couldn't resist closing my eyes to listen to more subtleties that I hadn't noticed before.
Whoosh-
Suddenly there was a soft crashing sound from afar. It was like the sound of an hourglass ticking away in the night.
MC: Lucien, did you hear that?
I opened my eyes, and my hand pointed out the window to the sound. Lucien slightly held his breath as if he was carefully distinguishing.
Tumblr media
Lucien: The place we live is not far from the beach. I think it should be the waves.
MC: 
The waves?
The rustling sounds kept coming to my ears, and perhaps because of the influence of alcohol or because of the "grand words" just now –
A thought struck my mind, and I stood up.
MC: Lucien.
Lucien: MC, would you like to see the sea right now?
Looking at each other tacitly, a small warmth flowed through my heart, but when I couldn't refrain from nodding my head-
I saw the clock behind Lucien, pointing to one in the morning.
Tumblr media
MC: ...
MC: I'm tempted, but it's almost one o'clock now.
MC: We still have to attend the party tomorrow. It won't be good if it affects your condition

Tumblr media
Lucien: It doesn't matter if I sleep less, but it might make MC a little sleepy.
Lucien: So
You can totally reject me.
Tumblr media
Lucien smiled lightly, the moonlight cast a hazy color on him, and his collarbone was also faintly visible under the open skirt.
His usual soft and smooth hair was also a little messy because he was lying on the couch with me all night, giving him a little "unkempt" sense of laziness.*
(T/N: 侍俼èŸčćč… is an idiom meaning not care about one's appearance/ slovenly in dress and manner)
Even though he said that, there was a dark tidal current that swept me deeply into those dark eyes.
It made me sink into them.
I winked and beamed with a big smile.
Tumblr media
MC: No, let's go to see the sea.
MC: I don't care if I will be a bit sleepy tomorrow. I want to see the sea with you now.
The interest in Lucien's eyes grew even stronger, his hand absent-mindedly resting on the back of his neck while the other hand holding the wine glass clinked lightly with mine.
It sounded clear and beautiful.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Then, we seem to hit it off.
(T/N: äž€æ‹ćłćˆ is an idiom lit. to be together from the first beat (idiom) /to hit it off/to click together / to chime in easily)
Tumblr media
At night, it turns out that nothing can be seen on the sea except the ivory moonlight falling on the tide.
At the far end of the horizon, a long, thin line of lights from thousands of homes spreads horizontally, so far away that it seems like another untouchable world.
Tumblr media
MC: Lucien, there are only two of us here.
MC: It seems that the idea of going to the beach at one o'clock in the morning is really unreasonable~
Tumblr media
Lucien: But by occasionally doing the opposite, the sea belongs to us for a brief time.
Lucien: Even though the sea is not blue at all, there are no seagulls to be seen, and you might even step on a small crab moving in the night.
Seeing Lucien joking around, I'm happily took off my shoes and quickly run to the waves to feel the tide soaking through my ankles.
MC: I can't see the sea, but I'm in the sea right now.
MC: I can still feel the sand slipping past my ankles along with the tide and then quietly slipping away from the soles of my feet.
Lucien: The Great Producer seems to be extraordinarily attentive today.
Lucien: I don't know if it's because of the wine or the movie...
Tumblr media
MC: Of course, it's because of you.
Tumblr media
I was quick to take over his words, winking playfully. Seeing me like this, Lucien burst out laughing.
Lucien: (laughs) What to do? I feel a bit helpless with this slightly drunk lady.
Hearing his little teasing, I purposely flicked my foot and brought the seawater onto the edge of his shoe.
MC: Then Professor Lucien, don't let me stay alone in the sea~ why don't you take off your shoes too? It's comfortable here,
He didn't answer, and just when I thought he would smile and politely decline, Lucien bent down to take off his shoes and walked beside me.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Indeed, It's very comfortable, just a little cooler than I thought.
Although taking off the shoes is not a big deal, I feel that his natural response is a bit unexpected
MC: Lucien, how many drinks did you have tonight?
Lucien: Do you think I'm drunk?
His long, narrow eyes were clear under the moonlight, and they clearly captured me in them. I smiled, shook my head, and continued using my foot to send the cold water over his ankles.
MC: It doesn't matter if you are drunk or not. There is no one else here anyway.
MC: So, it's okay for you to be a little more "let loose".
Tumblr media
Lucien: Can teacher MC teach me some examples?
My eyes seemed to linger on him. Then I leaned down to cup a small amount of water and splashed it on him.
Tumblr media
MC: Just like this?
He nodded thoughtfully, took two steps forward, and when I thought he was going to counterattack, I was about to turn and run-
Before Lucien tenderly shackled me in his arms.
Tumblr media
Lucien: (whisper) Teacher, can I draw another example from what you just taught me?
MC: O-of course.
He gazed deeply at me. His fingertips brushed my eyebrows, my eyes
 And finally, he held my face and kissed it.
The waves hit the rocks again, but this time, we were in the middle of the waves, surrounded by dense foam and entwined by the sweet taste of wine between our lips and teeth.
I was immersed in this sweet taste. Lucien only pulled away from me a while later. The cold sea breeze lingered at the tip of my nose and tickled me a little
.
MC: Ah-choo-!
I quickly covered my mouth, and a chill ran through my body.
MC: 
 Although it is in the south, the sea is still a bit cold at night.
Tumblr media
Lucien: This seems to be an oversight on my part.
He turned and bent down, grabbed my thighs with both hands, and put me directly on his back.
A moment of weightlessness made me cling tightly to his neck.
MC: Eh? Are we going back? But I'm just a little cold and not tired.
Tumblr media
Lucien: This lady seems to have misunderstood me.
He said as he walked forward, moving away from the direction of the manor.
Lucien: Since we came to the beach late at night, we should have some fun before returning.
Tumblr media
Lucien: It's just that if you stay in the sea all the time, it's easy to catch a cold.
Lucien: So, by carrying you on my back in the sea, we should be able to achieve almost the same effect.
Our shadows are close and seamless under the moonlight.
I contentedly put my face on Lucien's back and talked to him about one thing after another.
The faint sound of laughter rolled away with the waves until I saw the smoke coming from the distance, and I couldn't help but exclaim in a small voice.
MC: Lucien, it's a roadside stall! It looks like a stall for some kind of warm and hot soup.
Lucien: Want to go over and take a look?
MC: Um!
As we got closer, I faintly saw the stall owner turn off the small lights and put the ingredients into the box one by one

Tumblr media
MC: Shoot, looks like it's about to close!
Tumblr media
Before I finished speaking, Lucien tightened his arms, and I felt a gentle jolt. I was stunned when I realized he was running with me on his back!
MC: Lucien...?
Tumblr media
Lucien: (panting while shouting happily) MC, I'm curious, so without any hesitation...
Lucien: (still continuing shouting happily) I ain't gonna let you miss it.
(T/N: I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS POSSIBLE FOR HIM TO SOUND THIS HAPPY AND ALIVE-)
A relaxed laugh passed through my ears. Although I can't see his expression at this moment, I can imagine that calm but warm face.
I couldn't help but laugh and approached his ear-
MC: Professor Lucien, we seem to be a bit "crazy" now.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When I woke up the next day, Lucien was already fully dressed, sitting on the sofa and quietly reading a book.
Tumblr media
His white shirt was clean, and his smooth hair was well-groomed.
I can't see that this is the same man from last night, who was so energetic that he chased the stall owner with me on his back so I could successfully drink hot soup, and only went to sleep at dawn

I secretly laughed, then sat up and stretched.
MC: Lucien, what time is it? Why didn't you wake me when you got up?
Tumblr media
Lucien: You were so tired from last night, so I wanted to let you rest a little longer.
Lucien: Plus, there's still plenty of time, so you can take it slow.
MC: So
 Since it's early, can I ask for a good morning hug?
I grinned at him and opened my arms. Lucien put down his book, sat on the edge of the bed, and softly pecked me on the lips.
Tumblr media
MC: Even Professor Lucien can misinterpret a question. I clearly ask for a hug.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Then, just think of it as an additional question that I answered.
I stayed in his arms for a while before going to the closet. I took out a purple dress and a set of a white casual suit with trousers.
MC: Which one do you think I should wear today?
His eyes wandered between the two sets of clothes for quite a while.
Tumblr media
Lucien: The party is relatively long, so it is reasonable that wearing a comfortable dress would be better.
Lucien: However, a certain lady was so excited about the party that she went back and forth to pick out her clothes several times while packing.
After a moment of pause, his eyes finally fell on the purple dress.
Lucien: So just wear it, and if you get tired by then, we'll come back early.
MC: Hehe, Professor Lucien understands my mind the most~
Lucien smiled and walked to the mirror. His fingertips lightly crossed the table's edge and took out a pair of butterfly earrings from the jewelry box.
Tumblr media
Lucien: I also have a suggestion about the jewelry.
Lucien: You used to say it didn't have the right opportunity to shine, but I think today is that opportunity.
I took the earrings with a smile and hugged him around the neck.
Tumblr media
MC: Then I would like to ask Professor Lucien to continue to help me with advice. Is that okay?
MC: I'll need you to help me choose the perfume I'm going to use when I go out. I'll go change first!
Without giving him a chance to react, I kissed him on the cheek and walked into the bathroom with my clothes and jewelry.
Tumblr media
After changing clothes, I saw Lucien sitting lazily by the window, shaking the balm in his hand.
MC: Have you picked it out so quickly?
Tumblr media
Lucien: To be precise, as soon as I smelled this scent, I knew it was the only way to go today.
MC: Oh? It looks like you're pretty confident in your choice~ Let me see which one you've chosen.
I picked up the balm to smell it, and my eyes widened
It has the scent of waves. The elegant fragrance carries a little bit of salty moisture, letting the memories of last night sweep into my mind.
The dark sea, the rolling waves, the moonlight sways in front of my eyes as he runs

When I thought about it, I couldn't resist leaning into him, pressing closer to the scent in front of me.
(Cue 5th birthday bgm đŸ„ș)
MC: You just said that you picked it right away. Can I take it that you enjoyed our experience at the beach last night?
Tumblr media
Lucien: Mmm, I don't deny it.
Lucien: Although the scenery was pitch black last night, I can seem to remember it for a long time.
Looking at the balm in my hand, I suddenly thought of something and smiled.
MC: I've heard that scent can strengthen people's memories

MC: So just remember with me a little longer.
Tumblr media
As I said that, I leaned back a little. I slowly unbuttoned his shirt, one by one, with one hand.
I stopped when the sunlight cast a white light in front of his collarbone and rubbed my fingers on the balm.
Tumblr media
As we looked at each other, my index finger slowly climbed up and down and slid down his chest with a little more force.
Lucien's palm covered my lower back as if in response to me. His fingertips were caressing. The lace tulle skirt made a rustling sound, just like the waves last night.
I couldn't help but press myself against his neck and breathe the scent of the ocean.
MC: Lucien...
Lucien: Hmm?
Tumblr media
MC: In fact, looking back now, what we did last night didn't seem crazy.
MC: It's just strolling along the dark beach and then running after the stall that is about to close.
MC: But for some reason, I just enjoyed last night.
Tumblr media
Lucien: Is this kind of "crazy" enough for you?
I stared deeply into his eyes without hesitation.
MC: Of course it's enough. Because you are the one who went to the beach with me, you are the one who held me, and you are the one who ran forward with me on your back.
I paused and pressed my forehead against his.
Tumblr media
MC: For me, "crazy" is not about doing something out of the ordinary.
MC: My heart will still beat faster when I do ordinary things with you.
MC: Even when our hair is all gray, it'll still do the same.
MC: Isn't that just the craziest thing ever?
Lucien tightened his arms and pressed himself against me, without leaving any gaps.
Tumblr media
Lucien: It really doesn't get any crazier than that.
Lucien: Your very existence has caused me to lose control from time to time.
I reached out to nudge the tip of his nose and smiled playfully.
Tumblr media
MC: Then you must continue to be unreserved with me so that I can "occupy" you a little more.
He was stunned, and pretended to let out a sigh of chagrin.
Tumblr media
Lucien: [sigh] Am I not unreserved enough in front of you? I can't believe that you have this "illusion".
Tumblr media
MC: Because like you, I'm also very greedy.
MC: Although I also like the usual you, I want to see more of Professor Lucien from last night.
Tumblr media
MC: And you will satisfy me, won't you?
Lucien answered softly. His quiet eyes seemed to set off layers of sea waves.
Suddenly, I thought of something else, curiously lying on top of him, twirling my fingertips around his hair.
MC: Speaking of which, what would you say is the craziest thing you've ever done before our hair turned gray?
Tumblr media
Lucien bent his smiling eyes, lightly pursed his lips, and said nothing.
He just moved even closer to me while carrying the scent of the waves and lowered his head to kiss me.
-And once again, my heart bloomed like a flowering sea wave.
Tumblr media
[T/N: 'Loving you is the craziest thing I've ever done in our lifetime' :”]

just re read the lil scenario you wrote bw Taylor and Ky after their last match and it made my heart swooon, I was wondering if by any chance if you got the time could you write out a scenario where she’s sick and still working herself to a point of exhaustion and he takes care of her subtly doing and saying things that shows us how in love with this girl he is.
also I love your work a lil too much if you were to publish any work or direct/screen write any movie I’d watch it without a second thought you are genuinely incredibly talented can’t wait to see the stuff you’ll put out in the future đŸ€đŸ€
first of thank you so so much for reading!! I love you so much!! You're all getting free copies of my first bookđŸ«Ą
_________
Taylor sits on the kitchen of the campus alone, blows her nose on a tissue. One of many around the table.
Clock on her phone says 9pm. She is typing quickly. Her eyes red from the cold she has and the blue light of the screen.
Kylian walks in, takes a quick glance at her but doesn't say anything. She doesn't even acknowledge him.
She sneezes and coughs on one of the tissues while Kylian is pouring water on a glass. He takes the glass and leaves it next to her without saying anything.
He walks back the cupboards looking for something.
She sees the water, unconsciously taking it and drinking some while still typing with one hand.
Kylian lights the kettle, the water brewing.
She turns around finally realizing he is there.
Taylor: i sent you home an hour ago.
Kylian: i had a meeting with Galtier. What about you?
Taylor: if i go home I'll fall asleep. I need to finish.
Kylian : yourself?
Taylor: (groaning) hilarious
Kylian: (smiling) i know.
Taylor turns back at the computer. Continues writing. Her hand reaches for the last tissue on the box.
Kylian notices. He exchanges the empty box with a new one. She doesn't even realize as she reaches for an other tissue.
The kettle stops. Kylian pours most of the water on a cup. Then throws just a little on another. He Takes a chamomile pack and let's it sink on the full cup. The water gaining color slowly.
Taylor: (without turning to face him) can i have a cup too?
Kylian smiles to himself.
Kylian: (acts like he is annoyed) for fucks shakes
Taylor: stop whining.
Kylian picks up the cup and leaves it next to her. He pretends his cup is full as well and begins to sip on the warm water while standing over her.
Kylian: you know the campus has to close. You need to go home.
Taylor: Ney said it closes at midnight.
Kylian rolls his eyes. He bites on his lip.
Kylian : only when the whole team is here or Galtier.
Taylor: (still typing) thought you said you had a meeting
Kylian shuts his eyes, like he said something wrong.
Kylian: yeah but you know he's gone now. I'm going too. They'll lock you inside.
Taylor stops. She looks at him, scared.
Taylor: they'd do that?
Kylian: (lifting his cup to his lips) has happened three times to me.
Taylor: shit!
She closes her laptop. And searches for her bag.
Kylian: drink your cup first. It shouldn't go to waste.
Taylor's lifts it up and drinks it quickly. Kylian smiles behind his cup. She picks all her stuff and goes to leave. She forgets the box with the tissue.
Kylian grabs it for her. Smiling like he just won a match.

Meta about the scene where he kisses her? The tether one?
Dear anon, I sincerely want to thank you for this meta ask. 'Cause while I was analysing it I felt so many emotions (*wink* *wink*) and I noticed some things that I didn't before. ❀❀
(By the way, if you chose this Darklina scene because it's your favorite, then congratulations! You've got taste đŸ€đŸ˜)
This is gonna be two parts because I overanalyzed (again).
(Part 2 here 💛)
So it's obvious that Alina was thinking of the Darkling before he came to her that night:
Tumblr media
She's realizing that the Darkling was right. Mal can't understand her, she will never be ordinary or have an ordinary life and the only person that truly understands her, her powers and emotional world and conflicts is the person she wants to kill.
Now let's get to the meat of the story 😋
Tumblr media
The Darkling sensed her loneliness and understood that Alina came to realize how right he was. That, in addition with the fact that he has missed her too, made him respond to her and give the both of them what they want. The desire to be close to one another and satisfy their sexual desire.
Also, the fact that he's so soft with his kisses makes me think of how pleased he is that Alina and Mal are separated and now he is the one that gives Alina what she wants.
(we're not going to talk about how he takes his time to explore her face 'cause I'll screamđŸ˜©)
Tumblr media
Can we talk about how he always kisses her throat though? đŸ« đŸ« 
Tumblr media
Just like I said, he sensed her loneliness which echoed his own and he responded. 'Cause even though he kept visiting her almost every day, he still missed her. He missed touching her and kissing her. Being close to her. Just seeing her wasn't enough.
Tumblr media
The way he slowly dominates her but at the same time he gives her what she wants.đŸ˜đŸ˜©
Tumblr media
Am I the only that can hear this line??😭😭👀
The way they are softly panting, their heartbeat rising, their movements, bye--
Tumblr media
AGAIN THE THROAT *SCREAMS*
Also, here he was softly sucking her skin and no one can tell me otherwise. 🙂🙃
Wait I just realized something.
DID HE LEAVE A HICKEY BY ANY CHANCE?!??!
Tumblr media
Truth is I don't understand this. "Mal" is supposed to be kissing you, touching you etc. and you still have doubts? But then of course her instinct is screaming to her that something is not right.
(the way she just senses the Darkling)
Tumblr media
Just imagine seeing this scene, this image on screen, guys. đŸ˜đŸ˜©
Not that shit second season we got but THIS!
It would be phenomenal for every Darklina stan.
