:o
both is good!
both is great 👍
Alright let's get into it! For anyone wondering what this ask is about, see this post for context! And I'm going to be citing a lot of fanart for this post so make sure to go reblog the fanarts I link please. The artists deserve it, and I'll be tagging them all at the bottom!
━MARKIPLIER ☆
We all know and love Mark. Honestly not much to say here! The classic lucky flannel, FNAF playing, sex toy cooking king!! Goofy the majority of the time but knows when to get serious with people and set boundaries (which is pogchamp to the max)
━DARKIPLIER ☆
Dark is a silent and cunning man. He speaks his thoughts in riddles more often than not, so good luck trying to decipher them.
When around people he likes however (especially in more ways than one) he's more open and suave. Charming dare I say.
But don't forget he could snap your neck with a flick of his finger honey
━ANTISEPTICEYE ☆
Around a s/o or not he will still be the same hyperactive murderous Anti we've all come to know and love. (Well, at least know...)
Will pull a knife on anyone and everyone if felt the need too. And to repeat myself from a couple posts ago, I feel like he would cackle more than laugh. It just feels in character to me for some reason.
━WILFORD ☆
This man. This man <3
Call me biased but I love him. Wilford has just the right amount of murderous himbo energy as all people should.
Much like Dark and Anti however, I beg of you not to be fooled by his charms. Someone who can dismiss worm holes and create them like it's nothing should not just be written off as a pretty face.
━YANCY ☆
Golden retriever energy. He'd probably cross his arms and deny it if I said that, but he's not here is he :)
Point being, Yancy is like a big teddy bear. A teddy beat with a gun stuffed inside of it, but a teddy bear nonetheless. Kind boy. I would headcanons he's a mama's boy too, if it weren't for the, uhm, unfortunate passing away of his mom under strange circumstances eheh...
━ENGINEER ☆
Engineer Mark is the light of my life. The reason I get up in the morning. The reason I-
Well you get it. Man's is a bag of sunshine topped with sprinkles on top and more. Not only does he look adorable trying to eat his cookie, but he also is one of the most dedicated and caring people you'll meet
━ACTOR ☆
Rat bastard (/reluctantly affectionate)
I would give Actor a hug if I ever met him in real life and then bitch slap him so hard when he woke up his "luxury" clothes would be out of style
He's rude, he's mean, he's snooty, but Actor can be nice sometimes. Belive it or not heh
━ILLINOIS ☆
Now THIS is a mama's boy. Illinois gives off the vibes of someone who knows how to make really good campfire food, especially stew and/or soup.
Always there for a back rub or a quick game of rock paper scissors while hiking through mountains to get to an ancient temple. Always be prepared is the motto he lives by too heh

WIP (NOT) WEDNESDAY
got tagged by @onlymeandlife thank you :>!
I've been mostly preoccupied with a bunch of other stuff that's currently going on in my life but that just gives me more of a reason for escapism so I actually got some stuff I can share fhjgasf
Games Started a new playthrough of CP77. Haven't played a full blunt melee build yet so that's what I'm going for. Also since I always struggle with playing an asshole character in RPGs (unless it's SWTOR) I decided I'd go for that as well and the natural lifepath to pick for that was of course corpo. So far I've already upset Judy and I'm not proud of it. I've also been playing a bit of Palia and Avatar Frontiers. Otherwise when I feel like playing something but I can't decide what, I always enjoy playing on a private classic WoW server.
Character Creation Been working on a new character for a D&D campaign that might start around the end of this month. Felt like playing something very different to what I usually go for, so I made an old Loxodon lady with a straw hat that grew up as a hermit in the middle of the forest and is about to explore a whole new world she hasn't seen yet. She's very excited about that and ready to collect a bunch of leaves and cook some nice stews for her soon to be companions. She's also a druid so obviously I'm gonna use my powers to talk to any plants and animals I come in contact with.
Writing Got two CP77 pieces in the works but so far I mostly just got an outline written down. One is about my OC Oslo that'll be about a moment in his past right before some shit went down. I kinda want to explore his relationship to his old friends in it, especially his ex partner, and just write a bit about the home he grew up in since he's originally from London and not NC. The other one ties into some events that happened in RP but also explores one of my characters backgrounds. It's about a character that deals with amnesia due to a traumatic event (and a rogue AI) and a situation happens that triggers some memories - some of them good but plenty of them not so much. It's nothing I'll post online but there you go :>.
Art I've been mostly sticking to fooling around with the symmetry tool. It's nice and fun and great for character sheets, which is also something I'm working on for some of my OC's. WIP of Rad, Alfan, and Lochlainn. With Locky I'm still figuring out his design and I'm not entirely happy with what I got right now. I also got some commissions I'm working on but I'll post those when they're done. Whenever I find some motivation and energy I want to work on some full body poses as well.
Tumblr media
Gonna tag a couple of people but if you've already been tagged or don't feel like it, no pressure :3! @brammariek @sicc-nasti @scrumptioussynths @wraithsoutlaws @rindemption @mth3gr34t @noirapocalypto @fourtyfaregates @scarecrowshindig

find the word tag game!
@jmrothwell tagged me, tysm! i love tag games hehe
the words are friend, vibrant, flutter, and smile!
friend: from overpass graffiti, a willexie post-canon fic i should really finish at some point:
Rarely, of course, doesn’t mean never. Years ago, freshly a ghost and with more time on his hands than he’d like, Willie had made a mental list of all the pieces he and his friends made. He’d come up with a route to take to visit all of them, just to see the little drawings. Just to see that reminder that once upon a time, he was there.
vibrant: from a julie-centric fic set in the family that i chose series:
It’s just that the colour doesn’t seem to matter anymore. Sure, it’s fall and the leaves are vibrant shades of red and orange and yellow, something she spent hours on end trying to capture in her art last year, something she used to love dearly. Now, though, Julie kicks through the piles on the ground and thinks that she couldn’t care less.
flutter: no results, unfortunately :(
smile: from a masterchef au, in a confessional from julie:
“I’m looking down from the balcony, and the only people I’m worried about are Kayla and Bobby. Reggie's stew looks amazing and Willie seems to know what he’s doing. But Kayla messed up her spices earlier, which can seriously mess with the flavour of the dish. And Bobby seems to really struggle with this challenge. I wonder if he’ll use his immunity pin.”
She smiles at the camera. “Honestly, I’m glad I’m not down there cooking right now. I’m not strictly vegetarian, like Bobby, but this is definitely too much meat for my liking.”
again, thanks for the tag!! this was fun! i'm going to tag @michelangelinden, @legolasghosty, and @curvesomesunsets- no pressure, apologies if anyone's been tagged before, and if anyone else wants to do this, consider yourself tagged!
your words are: shine, sun, hug, and exist!

Tagged by: @fishklok, thank you!! these are always so fun to do :)
Relationship status: engaged
Favorite color: vermillion
Favorite food: hard to say. i’m really into sweet potatoes right now
Song stuck in my head: a smaller god by darling violetta
Time: 10:50 pm
Dream trip: europe or visiting the rez. i don’t really like traveling
Last book read: the only good indians — stephen graham jones
Last book I enjoyed reading: phantom of the opera — gaston leroux
Last book I hated reading: i don’t really read books/things i don’t care about or enjoy. i guess the handmaid’s tale by margaret atwood. i won’t go off about it in any detail because i’d end up writing an entire essay, but basically it’s the biggest load of middle class white cishet feminism shit that i’ve ever had the misfortune of putting my eyes on, and even thinking about it makes me fucking incandescent. i was sure to let my prof. know as much, lol.
Favorite thing to cook/bake: i’m garbage at baking. cooking i can do, though, and i like to cook sauces the most, i think. sauces or things like fried rice/stir fry/stew. shakshouka is fun to make, and one of my favorites lately.
Favorite spare time craft: drawing
Niche dislike: existential, i guess, but purity culture and the cultural movement of anti-intellectualism. having critical thinking skills is important. your art shouldn’t be utterly unaccessible, but making it overly sanitized and free from conflict ruins it and makes stories into just….a sequence of boring events. humanity is messy and complicated and often imperfect. we are imperfect beings. that is what makes story and it is how we process the world around us.
Opinion on circuses: loud and dirty. no
Tagging: anyone who wants to! but i will tag @felix-kranken @jthm @malhare @mommagranate @wizardlyarchon @felinecorpse if you would want to. no pressure 💖

Get to know me tag game
Relationship status: Aroace, very single and happy about it, lately very grumpy about amatonormativity 
Favourite colour: red, especially deep reds, or any type of red paired with black
Favourite food: POTATOES (boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew)
Song stuck in your head: Whatever that new Meghan Trainor song is that’s all over TikTok, which is very annoying cause I have beef with Meghan Trainor
Last thing you googled: Webtoon. I wanted to read my Sundays updates but I’m cozy in bed and didn’t want to get my phone
Favourite time of day: Night. I’m a night owl. Miss my witching hour now that I work and have to go to bed at a decent time
Dream trip: I really want to travel and see more Canada because there is so many gorgeous spots I haven’t see yet, but I going out West next week so going to try to see what I can in a short time.
Last book/fic you read: The webcomic The Reaper and the Waiting. A great binge read and so beautiful and heartbreaking. I’ve been trying to get back into reading more since starting my new job.
Last book you enjoyed: Last book I absolutely loved would have to be The Summer Children by @dothutchison​ I am obsessed with this series. It’s so refreshing to read thrillers that actually take a nuanced and honest look at the justice system and focus on the victims over the perpetrators. I have one book left in this series and I’ll be so sad when I finish it.
Last book you hated: The last book I can remember passionately hating was Wolfsong and I’ve loved all of TJ Klune’s other stuff. I won’t get into it here but hey if anyone wants to hear me rant come hit me up in my dms.
Favourite thing to cook/bake: Hmmm, I bake a lot but I’m trying to think if there’s one thing I like baking more than others. Maybe chocolate chip cookies?
Favourite craft to do in your free time: If you name an art medium there’s a good chance I’ve tried it. Working on my bullet journal, which is all Disney themed, and painting have been the one’s I’ve been spending the most time on. I actually have a gallery show coming up that I’m super behind on.
Most niche dislikes: pineapple? (I don’t know if that’s niche), I got a lot of beef with really specific romance tropes that I’m probably a little too passionate about sometimes
Opinion on circuses: I mean historically they treated the animals quite poorly and were pretty ableist but if we are talking modern circuses I think the performances are so cool and I would love to be able to do half the stuff they do. I’ve always wanted to try aerial silks. (Hence Sirius’s job in Snapshots of Parenthood)
Do you have a sense of direction and if not what’s the worst way you’ve gotten lost?: My sense of direction is weird in that I need a GPS to get there but then I can get home fine, which might just be because I have a good memory. I’m much better now that I drive more often but when I first starting driving my friends and I went to see Rocky Horror and I told her I didn’t help navigating getting home and it took us two hours longer then it should of because I kept getting lost. 
Anyone who wants to feel free to join in!

1/1/24 - After June
June I was sitting with her watching her childhood cat take its last breath and crying and loving her just as much as always. Eating a can of mandarins by the river with the gnats crowding in, quickest thing I could grab out the pantry after I heard her laughing with someone I once hoped to love, delirious in the heat and the hunger. Sitting in one of the back pews of a tiny church, white in all black in a sea of black family in baby blue - they'd invited me but I didn't hear about the dress code - wiping tears and snot on my sleeve after seeing my full-of-life friend dead and still in the casket.
And June is the month I met my friend from Georgia who I been clinging to ever since. We started feeding people on a hot August day and haven't stopped. Made a pot of stew just two days ago to hand out. Same month I had a 3 day romance, last week back home for christmas I had my first gay hookup. In October, went to a trans celebration and won a vial of T, saw my friend's set up for diy hormones, tried dmt. Made a couple things I'm proud of - big back patch for a Palestine march, a t-shirt design to fund raise for the Atlanta community bail fund, 100 stickers against the cpc up the street. I've been learning how to be a better listener and friend to the kids at work. I've been laughing often. My weeks are often full. I sat in on a mutual aid teach in recently, and met a black organizer who makes me feel like there's work in this city that is actually meaningful and direct. There are some folks around me with passion who I feel I could learn from. A friend saved up a whole pile of bread tags for me and gave em to me as a Hanukkah gift, one of the sweetest things someone's done for me in a while. I feel like I'm better with people than I used to be, like I can sit and chat with anyone if I gotta. Makes me less scared to be around new folks. Watched some John Waters movies with my ex-lover. We spend a lot of time together still, I'm grateful there's still love and friendship between us. I think I've learned how to be there better for my friend that has panic attacks and spirals. I feel like I'm a better cook than I used to be. I feel a little older, a little more steady on my feet. Mostly I am ashamed of myself, but sometimes I catch a facet of myself reflecting some light back. I stand taller. The fog is less constant. There is more sharpness and motion and change. The months do not bleed into each other so much. I feel more. I think more, want more. I feel like I am living a sad small life, but a life.
This year I want to be more dependable, committed, autonomous, skilled. I want to build this distro up strong and right, I want to grow bolder and less afraid. I want to make art, read, learn, be curious, be spontaneous, fluid, quick to spring and do on a whim. Less lethargic, less trapped by inertia, indecision, comforting numbness. I want to laugh with friends, grow closer, kiss lovers, text back, climb trees, get hurt, get up, get to work. Be honest, be blunt, be open. Desire, want, hunger, plan, enact. Stick with it. More life, more life.
You will be ashamed, you will feel alone, you will feel lost, impotent, cowardly, stupid, stuck, stagnant. And you will wake up. And you will try just a little bit, and it will feel like an unfurling. And you will forget again, and when you feel it again it will be familiar. And then more familiar, less impossible, more reflexive, more matter of habit. Maybe one day you will have teeth and be free. More life, more life.

I just wanted to try drawing a background for once! this was inspired by all the kitchen scenes in @dannypuro's Something Telling because they're the softest thing I've ever read
also shoutout to @samsfenders who climbed on her kitchen counter to be my model <3

Thank you patreon!
This is for a patreon and thus it's a little longer then my normal prompts!
Ace x GN Reader SFW Prompt: Monster AU [Fire Imp] Word Count: 638
Tumblr media
Opening the door to your cottage you paused, hearing a floorboard creak somewhere in the room. You narrowed your eyes and peered around the place, stepping in slowly and closing the door behind you, trying to make as little sound as possible.
The last few weeks things had been going on in your house. You’d set something down, something important and it would be gone, vanished away. You’d be cooking and the flame would go out. Not a single window open, no drafts in the house and yet your stew would be cold.
Then there was the opposite side of that problem. Fires randomly starting and burning your food, little sparks of flame catching the curtains or your clothes. You were sure you heard a snort of laughter once.
Something was going on and you were less than happy with the mischievous intentions of the spirit you’d come into contact with. Going to the market you’d asked around. A tall man with a crop of blond hair, half-lidded eyes and a sly grin had told you ‘Fire imp’
You went straight to the library, finding an old book with dusty pages detailing the creature. Ugly, grubby, and prone to being little shits.
“I know you’re here.” You announced to the empty room as you made a couple more tentative steps across the floor.
You sighed, what were you even doing? Did you believe the strange man in purple at the market? You shook your head and tossed your bag on the table, the thick tome which had information about mythical creatures peeking out, mocking you.
Getting water from the faucet you poured it into your iron kettle, set it on the stove and tried to get a light. Sighing once more and using yet another match that refused to work. Maybe they’d gotten a little damp?
“Wow, this book is awful imps aren’t always ugly.” A voice said with a derogatory snort.
You jumped up with a surprised shriek, almost falling over yourself as you spun around and saw the creature sitting on your table, a cloth barely covering anything as he sat there. Black ram horns curled around either side of his head. Wavy black hair, a dusting of freckles across light orange skin.
A sharp-tipped tail waved behind him as he sneered at the pages. His cat light eyes flicked from the crude images sprawled across the book’s page and he clicked his tongue. “Need help?” He pointed over to the stove and fired a flame across the room.
A whoosh sound made you stumble back once more.
“I was hoping you’d be home soon; I was getting hungry.” Ace sighed and discarded the book on the floor.
You winced and picked the literature up off the floor, closing the pages and gently stroking the cover, checking over any damages the creature could have caused it. This was the imp? The fire imp, you added glancing at the stove.
“Why are you here?” You asked as he stretched, showing off his freckled back. He was cute and you couldn’t believe he was real.
At least you hadn’t been going mad with all the things that just kept going missing. He moved to your comfy armchair and sprawled out, idly playing with the red beaded necklace he wore. “I was bored, this is my home too ya know.” He shrugged.
“I don’t think so…”
“I was just playing with you; I’m not mean spirited. I think we could become very close friends Plus I like your stew and as far as humans go,” Ace paused to give you a cheeky grin “Your very easy on the eye.”
You felt your cheeks heat up from the imp’s compliment and you inwardly sighed watching Ace wink at you. There was no bundle of sage big enough for this problem.

stolen dances | chap. 8
Tumblr media
summary: sometimes supporting the person you love is the hardest challenge you’ll ever face.
pairing: jeon jungkook x fem!reader
rating: m
warning: swearing
additional tags: f2l, ceo!jungkook, bestfriend!jungkook, shrink!yoongi, my best friend’s wedding meets 27 dresses (if the boss/secretary couple had happened), angst-y
words: 2200
links: prev. | next  [masterlist]
note: lower case letters intended
chapter summary: maybe there are too many red flags to ingore.
“what do you mean the menu changed?”, you hiss into the receiver, not caring how your colleague aches an eyebrow at your harsh tone.
“mr. jeon’s assistant called yesterday and demanded the gluten free pasta to be added instead of the duchess potatoes.” your caterer sounds as lost as you feel.
“but… the duchess is gluten free – now there’ll be a double pasta dish for entrée and sides”, you explain to the person who professionally cooks. never would you have imagined you’d be this upset about a vegetable.
“i’m doing what mr. jeon wants, ms. _____. my apologies.” yeah well, jungkook doesn’t know what he wants. his cold shoulder equals an iced crystal – your best friend has been mute even after getting back from his business trip. all the information you need as his unofficial wedding planner are thrown at you from different partners – like the caterer today or the florist last monday.
it’s seems like jungkook really wants to sabotage his own wedding to win this fight between the two of you. until now you’ve let him throw his childish temper tantrum, passively accommodating his changed decisions. but you’re drawing the line at the duchess potato.
“very well”, you say to the caterer. “i know you’re just doing your job – sorry for being rude. i can’t wait to taste… the gluten free pasta.”
the chef on the other end chuckles at your faked enthusiasm and you soon join.
“will you be there for the cocktail testing?”, he asks and you rummage through your desk, finding your planner in milliseconds.
“of course, it’s still on saturday?”, you ask, not trusting jungkook to change dates just to mess with your schedule.
after confirming the date, the two of you hang up and you start to pack up for the day. you’ll do the log entries for your students from home.
“everything okay, ___?”, your coworker jisoo questions, seeing you leave earlier than normal.
“yeah, don’t worry. i just… forgot an appointment. see you tomorrow”, you answer absently taking your prepacked lunch from the community fridge to eat later.
after taking two different trains and one bus, your self-made hummus is looking more like vomit than food as you stand in front of jungkook’s office building. but with your stomach in knots, you lose all appetite.
“miss ______, what a lovely surprise!”, the doorman greets you with an honest smile on his face. normally jungkook would send one of his town cars to collect you for your weekly lunch. to see you getting out of a bus worries the employee.
“how is the family, hanseo?”, you ask and answer his smile with one of your own.
“all well and healthy, miss! mr. jeon just got back from his meeting”, he informs you warmly and you bow in thanks.
with swift steps you move to the elevator, ready to make jungkook listen. arriving at the final floor, you greet his secretary with a short hug, your eyes already set on his closed door.
“may i go in?”, you ask mrs. yang – not really up to date on jungkook’s schedule. her knowing eyes stare right through your question.
“he’s all yours for the next hour; i’ll hold all phone calls.” you nod silently grateful for her discretion.
two loud knocks are the only forewarning jungkook gets before you barge into his office. your best friend sits at his desk, the top buttons of his shirt undone. his neatly styled hair and the reading glasses tell you that the last few hours were full of business decisions and negotiations.
his tired eyes look at you in surprise, before they cloud over with indifference.
“_____”
no ‘hey, how’ve you been the last week?’, no ‘did you manage to grab the credit card i forgot at the restaurant i stormed out of?’, no ‘i’m sorry, i canceled your favorite potato dish’.
“jungkook”, you greet him and hate yourself for how soft your voice sounds. your feet won’t allow you to move further into the room as your body stands still right next to the closing door.
a hefty silence sets around you, while the two of you muster the other. you notice the bags under his eyes – even with the expensive concealer covering the dark rings.
“_____”, your best friend says again, uncomfortable with the tension in his office.
“jungkook”, you answer, mimicking his tactic.
two estranged friends smile timidly at each other, before the CEO gets up from his seat and closes the distance. in front of you, he hesitates for a breath, but then you are in his arms. your winter coat and heavy bag create a barrier which jungkook crushes easily. he presses your body close to his chest, the suit jacket tightening around his shoulder blades.
you embrace him back, just as fiercely, and inhale his musky scent. he smells like love and you feel your eyes water.
“you’re a jerk”, you whisper against his neck, not ready to let go, but willing to work through your anger. the former idol huffs and buries his nose deeper in your hair. you can feel his breathe against your scalp and thank the lord with a silent prayer for taking a shower this morning.
“i know”, jungkook admits as he manages to squeeze you tighter at the same time.
“you’re a child”, you continue while drawing soft patterns across his shoulder blades with your fingertips.
“i know”
another silence follow – but it’s one without anger. it feels like going on vacation. nevertheless, problems need to be face, you’ve learned that from your shrink. so, with a heavy heart, you lose your embrace and try to step away from your best friend. after reluctantly holding on to you, he huffs and lets you go.
“have you eaten?”
“jungkook, we need to talk about this”, you tell him while the both of you sit on the leather couch. you have to suppress the impulse to take off your shoes, an old habit after the long nights spent in his office.
“when did you eat lunch, ____?”, he asks again and loses his suit jacket. the white button up shirt underneath looks a size too small, which troubles your heart greatly. jungkook doesn’t seem to notice, his focus remains on your eating habits.
“jungkook, i’ll eat later, promise”, you deflect and pat your bag with the hummus vegetable stew in it. your best friend doesn’t seem impressed.
“you’re upset because i haven’t told you about a close friend of mine”, you start, only to see him grimace at your wording.
“for five months”, he specifies.
“it never came up in conversation, jungkook. you… you don’t know all details of my life”, you justify yourself while mentally bowing at your backbone.
“yesterday, your mother invited me to their vow renewal, i can open a whole art gallery with your food pictures and i helped you plan a funeral for your living room plant last month”, jungkook replies astonished. “i even held the eulogy.”
yeah, fair, you’ll never forget seokjin’s oscar worthy crying scene in front of the calathea. even jimin was impressed.
“but you can’t introduce me to the guy accompanying you to my wedding?” there is a thick, and reasonable, accusation behind his words. you feel your hands sweat as you look at the tired eyes of your best friend.
“i’m afraid you won’t like him”, you offer. it’s the most logical explanation you could come up with after your phone call with taehyung. when truthfully, you are more afraid of the person yoongi will see in you face-to-face with jungkook.
but your best friend seems to buy your white lie. his face softens as he rests one hand on your knee.
“_____”, jungkook starts, “every friend of yours is a friend of mine.” you snort right into his words, not believing him for a second.
“you put my last boyfriend into jail.” the answering chuckle from him does not sound one bit apologetic.
“he was trash.” you know he’s right, still, his distrust was there before it turned out that your ex-boyfriend committed tax fraud.
“what about jisoo?”, you ask. “you’ve never warmed up to her.”
jungkook looks like he just swallowed something bitter at the name of your coworker.
“she hit on me.” his reveal shocks you.
“but she has a fiancé!”, you exclaim, only to see him roll his eyes.
“she hit on me”, he repeats unforgiving.
just… great.
“yoongi is different”, you say softly, not ready to reflect on jisoo’s audacity. it’s quite common for others to hit on jeon jungkook – he’s famous after all. but your own friend?
“let me be the judge”, jungkook demands equally soft and squeezes your knee.
“i’m not asking for your judgement, kookie”, you huff. you don’t need his approval. and yoongi sure as hell doesn’t want it.
“but”, you start again, “i think it’ll be best if you got to know him before the wedding.” you’ve thought about this a lot. it seems like the best course of action. even if you can’t picture yoongi and jungkook in the same room.
“he isn’t invited to the wedding”, your best friend scowls like a child. now you push his hand from your knee, irritated by his actions.
“he is”, you press, not willing to back down. jungkook’s eyes flash in anger.
“you can go with taehyung. he still has to make amends for fucking the DJs”, the CEO offers businesslike and moves up from the couch, like he just singlehandedly solved the problem.
“i don’t need a pity partner, jeon. i – there is a person who actually wants to go with me to your wedding”, you bite back. sure, you had to beg yoongi, but you won’t disclose that now. you’ve seen his gummy smile last week as he tried on expensive suits. he looked way too happy and handsome.
your best friend pushes some documents around his desk, deep in thoughts.
“as my best man you won’t have much time to be with him during the wedding. he will be alone in the midst of strangers. it’ll make him uncomfortable”, he tries to reason. you can’t help but roll your eyes – yoongi’s whole job description is to talk to strangers and make them feel safe. but wait…
“i’m not your best man, jungkook.” you’ve scheduled the event. seokjin’s best man speech comes right before the main course. you even sent the man some keynotes, with topics not to add to his roast.
“you got upgraded”, jungkook states with a shrug. no, no, no, no, no.
“you’ll have to rearrange the seating chart – the place next to my parents’ is now yours.”
“jungkook”, you breathe, astonished by his thoughts, “i’m not your best man.”
he tenses at your refusal, but won’t admit defeat too soon.
“you’re my best friend, so you should be my best man as well”, he says like it’s the simplest thing in the world.
“she was against it at first – some bullshit about gender norms and how the photos will look. but, ____, not talking to you for this long made me realize, that you are way more important than seokjin.”
you can see the red flags wave behind jungkook as you feel your heart quicken at his words.
“jungkook” no longer is your voice angry. the sadness in your tone makes jungkook flinch while looking at you from across the room.
“we’ve both created very – very idolized versions of one another”, you start to explain. “maybe you think of me as important – but jungkook, there is so much we haven’t shared with each other.”
he shakes his head, willing to interrupt, but you hold your hands up in warning.
“jungkook, i lo- i like being with you a lot these last few years. but there are parts of you i’ve never met. i never shared your trainee days with you, the hardship, the success. i was only an unknown fan cheering your band on from afar.”
you take a deep breath. “but even now, you still surprise me with new sides of yourself. leaving me on an island? disinviting my plus one? that’s not the jungkook i know. and that’s sure as hell not someone i want to toast to.”
your best friend looks like you’ve just broken something dear to him and you can feel the defeat in your bones.
“seokjin is your best man, jungkook”, you end and smile at the CEO who won’t look at you anymore. before you can move closer to him, the door opens.
“mr. jeon, your next appointment is waiting.” mrs. yang sounds apologetic and looks uncomfortable between the two of you – so far apart.
jungkook nods at his secretary and she closes the door, leaving you to finish the train wreck of a conversation.
“are we no longer best friends, ____?”, he whispers as he logs into his computer. his posture screams dismissal, but you can see how tensed his shoulders are and how hard is mind is working.
you have to suppress the coo on the tip of your tongue.
“jungkook – you are my best friend. you are a person of the utmost importance to me.”
“you still like me?” i love you, you fool.
“i still like you way too much for my own good.”
he nods silently and you can see the tiniest smile spreading across his lips.
you leave without goodbye, only to feel your phone vibrating in your pocket while the elevator rushes to the lobby.
bring your plus one to this week’s movie night.
before you can send a smiley face in responds, an email form the caterer pops up.
subject: duchess potatoes are back.
_____
happy new year! i hope you all have a healthy and kind 2021! let’s make life better by wearing our masks, helping others in need and supporting those who experienced hardship during this tiering time!
i know i promised yoongi/jungkook cat fight – but the chapter got so ugly that i squeezed in this scene of reader und kookie talking about this mess. so that yoongs won’t bleed during game night.
i’d love to hear from you all, it’s been really silent in my virtual life…
all the best and the warmest of hugs from, dana

Hello! I am quite new to your page and I love how you draw Kolyat. ♥️ Also, would you care to share some details about your characters?
I’d love to, thanks for asking! Funnily enough, I did a personality quiz for them recently, so I can just copy/paste the results here. Most of my content for Mass Effect is centred around Kolyat Krios and Oriana Lawson: 
I write them here: [AO3] I draw them here: [ART TAG]
Everything I do with them is post-war, and them as adults in their 20s navigating the shit heap that is a broken, post-destroy galaxy, and how they cope with their own traumas. They both want to help rebuild, but do it different ways.
Tumblr media
KOLYAT KRIOS
Kolyat Krios has a lot to live up to and change, but prefers to do it on his terms.
Kolyat is a methodical man, and gentle and patient with the people who need it most. He possesses an unexpected depth of emotional intelligence, and becomes a protector of the small and the strays, from a galaxy that often forgets about them.
While Kolyat can be even-keeled, if he is left to stew in his feelings, his anger will get the better of him, and he will react. He has a reputation for salt, and for his surliness; he also has a tendency to hide himself from others as a defence mechanism, and is slow to trust.
Tumblr media
ORIANA ‘ORI’ LEE
You might know her as Oriana Lawson, but she’ll introduce herself as Ori Lee.
Ori is a warm, compassionate soul who loves to be around other people and enjoys her work as a colony developer/civil engineer for Kellam Industries. She is quick-witted and smart, and funny with it; her taste in fashion and makeup is impeccable, as is her comic timing.
She is very good at getting to know you, but you don’t get to know her. Ori keeps her cards to her chest, and only lets her guard down around people she trusts completely, and has a tendency to care too much about what others think about her.
Tumblr media
FISH (the cat)
Queen of everything, ruler of them all- well, maybe just Kolyat’s apartment for now.
Fish is a foul-tempered gremlin of a tabby cat, with white socks and a white belly. Her iron paw rules the roost of her home; she graciously lets others share it. Fish loves her food, her nap spots, and her soft piles of things to sleep on. She likes listening to music, and watching the traffic outside of her window.
She is a former stray with both PTSD and trust issues, and for this reason she lashes out without thinking, and needs her own space. When she trusts though, she really trusts. It will take her forever to do it, but once you win her heart, she’ll love you forever.
Tumblr media
BATESEDA ‘Bats’ T’LORI
The man, the myth, and the almost legend- at least, in his mind.
Bats was always told he had potential, and rather than stay with the Huntress squad who trained him, Bats left for the Citadel. He is a firecracker of a man who makes everything he does seem fun, always ready to crack something- a joke, his glass, a skull. Pour another one out, he has stories to tell, and they’re mostly true- if he remembers them right.
He has a tendency to go through frequent bed partners, and never keeps anyone around for long. Despite the crooked smile and easy living, there is an air of melancholy around Bats he is reluctant to explain, but something shows through the cracks every now and then. He will take things too far -the jokes, his drinking, his anger- and fall down the holes he put himself in. One day he will struggle to get back out of it.
Tumblr media
ARJUN PATEL
A man who borders the line between squad dad and gross uncle, Patel is a treasure for any crew to have.
Patel is content to stay in the background, and is more savvy than he lets on, willing to play the bumbling, easy-going fool if it’ll get him what he wants. He is essentially Columbo with a cooking habit, but is willing to share his snacks- if he likes you, and that doesn’t take much. He is a man with quiet passions, and they shine brightly when he gets talking; his food, his wife and daughter, his interest in history… ask him about them, and his enthusiasm will be boundless- much like his appetite.
He has a tendency to be lazy, if he can get away with it. Patel can also overspill the TMI details of his life even if you’ve heard them before, without a clue he’s crossed a line.
Tumblr media
SISO VITACUS
Like most of the squad, Vitacus came to the Citadel for a new life, and another shot of something. He recently split from his bootcamp boyfriend, and is really not looking for anything serious- at least, not at the moment. Vitacus is neither as funny as Bats, as serious as Kolyat or as happy as Patel, but he fits right in as the jack of all trades of the squad, content to play everyone’s middle man and all rounder.
He has a reputation for awful, neon suits, a love of dancing and shitty action movies, as well as a fondness for lurid drinks, despite looking like the kind of man who likes none of these things from first glance. Vitacus is a tall, stocky bruiser of a man, even for a turian.
Vitacus can also be a pushover and too laidback for his own good, and can drift along with the crowd than go against it. He’s unsure why he’s like this, but as far as he’s concerned, ending up in law enforcement is already an oddity- all his family are engineers and scientists.
Tumblr media
BRATHAN ‘Brath’ SEKET
If ever there was a man you were unsure of -even after knowing him for years- it’s Brath. The usual rags to riches story, heavy on the rags; Brath fled the grasp of his abusive family as soon as he was able to, taking on jobs across the Terminus until he built up enough of a reputation as a gun for hire.
He got his money from less than savoury sources to begin with, but absolutely no slavery. He has a personal honor code he will hold the rest of the galaxy to, even if you don’t know the rules. Brath might give off the appearance of loving luxuries and living well, but to him it’s just greasepaint and stage costumes; he’s learning that on the Citadel, a Terminus boy like him will never fit in, anyway- the four eyes see to that.
He will hold a grudge for decades, and it will smoulder, too. Brath can be incredibly petty and keep receipts, and if things don’t go his way, he will make them- for better or for worse.
Tumblr media
LAETITIA PHALIA
A woman with a firm grip of the ins and outs of both her work and her neighbourhood, Phalia is the person to know when you need something, and if you don’t she’ll soon tell you, anyway.
She looks strict, but only when she needs to be. Phalia is just busy! There’s always some charity, pot luck, clawball practise, afterschool homework club, Galactic Scout cookie drive, donation pickup and volunteer work activity happening in her life. Phalia is always doing something, despite a full-time job and being a single parent. She gives and gives, because that’s what she expects people to do, the kind of person who will give you her coat and freeze.
There is only so much of herself she can give away. Phalia has had the very worst happen to her in her life, and she survives by constantly moving, not looking back. She just needs to remind herself from time to time she deserves to be taken care of too, and can rest every now and then. Sometimes Phalia also has a tendency to hold people to the same standards she has, but is getting better at learning the difference.
Tumblr media
DEREK
It's Derek, innit? Just Derek. Not his real name of course, but he thought it sounded fancy. He has a full salarian name, but his clan mostly ignore his existence - except when they want money.
The eponymous Derek has a fairly sweet soul, but it’s one slowly corrupting under a mantle of the music industry and celebrity. He has an addict’s personality, and bounces from fixation from fixation- but music will always remain a constant. He is good at what he does too; his production skills are perceptively complicated, and he is an absolute master at looping and finding rich, interesting samples; there is a reason he is in demand both as a DJ and as a producer.
Derek doesn’t have the best social skills, despite befriending people easily. He’ll pick them up and drop them, and will often self-medicate his mistakes. His ego can get him into trouble too, but finding real friends -and not hangers on- will help him realise he’s not the centre of the universe.
***
(The quiz is [HERE] f you want to see which one you got.)

Compete, Panic, Over (Sterek (Teen Wolf) - 100 words) - Stiles painstakingly piped out the dough into perfect cream puff swirls.
Minor, Super, Confident (Sterek (Teen Wolf) - 100 words) - Derek strode down the corridors of Beacon Hills High, a confident smirk on his face. 
Peaceful, Fairy, Dark (Sterek (Teen Wolf) - 100 words) - “You know,” Stiles said, still managing to concentrate on his video game, “it’d be pretty awesome if we could just grab a heart or a fairy and heal quickly after battles.” 
Magnificent, Exciting, Fact (Sterek (Teen Wolf) - 100 words) - “I just saw the most magnificent man I have ever seen and that‘s a fact!” Stiles gushed as he sat back behind the librarian’s desk. 
Mostly drabbles, and still Sterek 90% of the time, but hey, I’m branching out!  XD  And I tag anyone who hasn’t done this and would like to!  =3
