I'd be interested in those writing shortcuts 👀 (don't feel pressured though)

Yeah sure! This is in reference to this and this posts.

These are all pretty 'fic style' stories, because they scaffold off pre-existing canon. It's like you're walking inside of a pre-built house and you're putting up new wallpaper and designing the rooms. Novel style is like if you're building the entire house. So these are really great for fun and if you have writer's block or have problems starting a story. They're also really good if you're practicing your dialogue, scene composition, characterization, etc - they are not good for developing skills on how to build the house, but if you're trying to work on actually making a readable story they're great methods to practice. They're also a lot easier to make good lol.

While writing these out I realized that they're almost entirely AUs. This is because I like AUs. You don't have to do AUs, you can adapt these however you want if you just like writing canon. Loser. Anyway, these are my low-effort stories:

A series of disconnected scenes that take place over a long period of time. If you have an idea in mind (or you just want to use the OG work's timeline), then you can show scenes or moments over a long period in time. For example, ages ago I wrote an AU story following the life of one character. One scene for 2008, one for 2010, one for 2012 etc.

Rewriting canon. If you have an AU idea or have a way in mind to change canon to something you think fucks harder, then you can use pre-existing episodes or season plotlines and just add your own flavor to what already exists. If you write for BNHA you aren't allowed to do this. That's the rule. How is all BNHA fic 600k AUs where one extremely minor detail is changed. God they're boring.

Alternate viewpoint/missing scene of a story you have. Like you can do this for canon too but that sounds super boring. This is actually something I do in order to help the quality of the main story - if I'm finding myself writing a super complicated character, I write another story about him from his POV to help give me a handle on him. Or write her parts of the story from her perspective. It's a writing exercise to help me figure out the character and it is also easy and fun.

"X Meets Y". Do you really like Legally Blonde? Do you think your favorite character being Elle Woods would be really funny? Stuff like that. Would it be really funny if your blorbo was Sharpay Evans? Yes it would be. Yeah I DID write a story many years ago that was "X meets Teen Beach Movie", why?

I don't know how many other people out there have extremely convoluted entire AU ideas, but if you have the whole AU in your mind then it is incredibly easy to write little stories or snippets from the AU. Like, so easy. A stand-out scene in your mind, the life of one supporting character, an alternate POV, whatever. Literally whenever I want to write something absolutely 0 effort whatsoever I go back to one of my 3 bugfuck stupid AUs and write something for them again.

This is actually something I think everybody should do, because it is basically how I learned story structure: find the trashiest, most formulaic genre you can. Watch or read something from that genre, or just collect genre conventions. Use the pre-packaged and pre-written formula to structure your own story and fill in the blanks.

(Also, these aren't very tropey or reliant on shipping/romance beats, which is nice if you want to get away from that stuff)

Nowadays, I find all of that helpful when I feel like doing something 0 effort. When I was a less experienced writer and I deadass did not know how to build a house, then these were really helpful for learning what wallpaper looks good and what arrangement of furniture creates good fung shui and what couches go best with that coffee table. They're also good passing. Seriously, these are like the most popular stories on my AO3. People eat this shit up. Why. They're so lazy.

IDK, these are what I do because they're the kinds of stories I like to write! What you find easy to write will be different. This is all a very personal list. I can see my personal thumbprint (no romance, AU central) really clearly. I'm kind of curious now: what are y'all's favorite low-effort, easy, fun stories to write?

Also as a heads up if your story doesn't have any sort of conflict in it, then it will actually very difficult to write. Trust me. Conflict makes you voom. Do it. Please. Love of god.

#i have BAMBOOZLED all of you into thinking the artemis fowl and first reverse robins story was good #BAMBOOZLED I SAY #my writing #my asks #writing advice #writing #everybody who writes BNHA go home and think about your life.#ok I want to say something like #“and the EASIEST story to write is a roleswap au”#BUT I DON'T WRITE EM CUZ THEYRE EASY #I WRITE EM CUZ THEY'RE FUCKING FUN #and sooo interesting #also easy.

Hiii!! I know that this is really random and I humbly apologize but your one post about helaegon being super touchy with each other is my Roman Empire!!

I just love the image of them being physically affectionate with one another at like all times😭

I was wondering if you had any random hcs about them being physically affectionate? If not totally ignore me lol!! I love your blog and I die for everything that you post!!!!!💓💓💓

Oh. My. Gods. This might be the sweetest thing ever. Thank you so so very much! Your compliments mean the absolute world to me because you were one the first blogs I started following here. This is amazing omg. I genuinely don’t know how to thank you enough, love.

don’t worry though , not random at all, I love doing asks

And yes yes I definitely do.

🕯️When Helaena was pregnant, Aegon would definitely touch her baby bump if he was near enough to her, even when not necessary. Maybe because he wants to protect his wife and kid(s) or he just wants some excuse to reach out and touch her. It’s always soft caresses or even small tickles that have her holding back her laughs in the middle of public events like tourneys or banquets. He will never get tired of her slapping his hand away with a smile and a scrunched up face due to her efforts not to laugh.

🕯️When they have their anniversary, they always manage to escape the celebrations early and put the kids to bed. After that they just giggle and dance together in their night clothes to the music coming from the halls below. No one to watch them but the other. They can go off routine and no one would give a shit. It’s better to just be free with the other rather than be surrounded by pompous guests and their false well wishes.

🕯️ Them unwinding after a long day.

They each hold a kid (they’ll alternate who gets to carry Maelor )and take them to their room. Both of them will kiss the kid/s they are holding and then go to kiss the one/s the other is holding. And then they’ll just kiss each other before handing them off to be taken to their rooms.

(Idk if I described this exactly how I imagine it but yeah)

Falling on the bed together and then falling into fits of giggles, touching and tickling each other before they finally calm down. Helaena rests his head against his chest and starts reading. He admires his wife’s features and plays with her hair. Occasionally giving her small kisses on her forehead and watching her nose scrunch up at him.

🕯️They nearly always bathe and get dressed together. They wash the other off without any funny business ofc and then just get dressed with each other. But there are always moments like Aegon kissing her shoulder right before she pulls her dress up there or Hel giving him a love bite (I love calling them that, idc if it’s cringe) just low enough so that it’s covered by his collar. Or them hugging while he tightens her corset and she pins in his cloak.

🕯️Them escaping to the gardens to walk or collect flowers and fruits for their kids. Aegon occasionally spinning Hel around while she drags him to find the blue flowers Jaehaerys likes. They make sure no one is around before collapsing into the grass and just admiring each other and kissing the other’s hand while they talk. Right before they have to leave though, they’ll just take a few more moments to look at each other and revel in their luck.

🕯️Aegon comes to their chambers late one night and finds Helaena is already asleep. So he just lays down as close as he can to her, without trying to wake her up. When he closes his eyes, he just feels her hand wrapping around him and her face fitting in the crook of his neck. Confused but lovesick as he is, accepts her embrace.

🕯️this man is a fucking body worshipper (I mean have you seen how gorgeous his wife is, I would be too)

I mean she has her insecurities of course but they were just amplified by her pregnancy. He’ll always touch her thighs or stomach or areas where she has stretch marks (because argue with a wall, these two have memorised each other’s body as though the other was some holy scripture) during events where they are made to sit together. He can sense her getting insecure or feeling down so he’ll quickly peck her shoulder and touch those areas to remind her just how gorgeous she is. They definitely fuck after the celebrations are over and I can tell you as a speck of dust in their room, it is the most sensual and loving thing the other can ever call their own. Oh and btw, both of them are switches.

these are just a few that I absolutely love the idea of

again, thank you so so much for your kind words, I appreciate it and you so much.

#house of the dragon #aegon ii targaryen #helaena targaryen #team green #helaena x aegon ii #lovey dovey Helaegon because it’s the best #fatherforgivethem #asks #helaegon hcs

Wind Charge Thoughts

Now that we've got wind charges in todays snapshot, I've already formulated some opinions on it, alongside some other peeps ;) I've gotta say, first of all, that I love that its just like... straight up a really fun item. in concept and in practice, its just... the purest essence of fun in games is funny and or cool movement, i feel like a lot of people can agree on that, yeah? feels very ... right to be in minecraft. i absolutely will be stocking up on tons of wind charges to have goofs with friends and do some sick parkour jumps - heck, even in an ideal world this could replace firework boosting... its a really, really great and widely acceptable-as-amazing feature

but thats where we get into the imperfections. the idea of rocketjumping is perfect, and while at first i was very happy about how it has a skill ceiling (its hard to get the maximum height out of a wind charge jump) it has dawned upon me that the skill-to-benefit scale is kinda... not the best ATM. I think what you ideally want to do for something like this is... be able to hook in even players who suck at precisely timing things, because hey, they might even try and hone their skills more. and of course there is benefit to having it be weak if you're not skilled, because then you wouldnt have a goal of improvement of skill to look towards but like, it feels as though right now, its VERY precise to get a good leap out of a wind charge, and if you dont? you get like, the tiniest little hop out of it. low skill should yield decent results, average skill should yield perhaps more predictable or consistent results, and high skill can be for walljumping level shenanigans and chaining them together as it stands, low skill wind charge play is a bit too dull. doesnt really feel like theres a great consistent middle ground, either. i either nail it and fly like 10 blocks in the air, or it just... kinda acts like a very literal double jump, barely bringing me above 5 blocks in the air but also, it is a very fun item! and it is early on! i really cant wait to see the shenanigans people get up to with the movement. going fast is very fun... and its like, not some absurdly endgame thing either!!! and .. jumping high in minecraft by blasting yourself IS cool. in ANY game its pretty cool, honestly. and it makes SENSE but yeah, the effort-to-reward is a bit outta wack right now. im not saying i want it to be BETTER per se, or to be incredibly easy to use, but just to give a better taste for if you dont do super great at using it. feels frame perfect honestly lol

As requested by @sidsskullshirt, I watched Ruby Gillman and here's my review for it! This isn't the most positive review because I'm super conflicted, but it's my honest opinion. :)

First, the main thing that stood out to me: Ruby Gillman lifted a lot from Turning Red.

The opening sequence about sea monsters was intriguing and drew me in! After that, there was a minute or two of basically the same as Turning Red's opening titles, where the main character explained things in a quirky, 'welcome to my life' way. She even had the same voice affects/lilt as Mei, I wondered if she had the same voice actor until I checked.

I liked how Ruby went all tentacle-y to grab things at home, like the rest of her family, it was a nice bit of worldbuilding compared to how they had to act in public. I liked the comment about the protest and the ASMR video thing was funny lol.

Unfortunately, the opening of the movie kinda set me up to view the entire rest of the movie in a comparative RG vs TR way, so I noticed lots of other similarities:

Ruby had three friends who were like Abby, Miriam, and Priya. They had similar character tropes, ie one friend was the 'chill one', one friend was the 'exuberant' one, one friend was the 'tomboy one'.

Ruby had to hide her monster-y ness from the world.

Ruby said she's from Canada.

Ruby talked about her mom ruining her life.

Ruby turned into a big monster version of herself, just like Mei turned into a monster.

Ruby's mom could also turn into a monster.

Only the women in Ruby's family turned into monsters, just like in Turning Red, where only the women on Mei's side of the family turned into monsters.

In both movies, they were 'gifted' the ability to turn into monsters.

Ruby freaked out because her mom hid the monster thing from her, and her mom was only forced to explain things after she monstered-out.

The 'your body is going through changes and blossoming like a flower' low-effort puberty reference.

Ruby's mom saying 'don't let them tell you how to live your life and raise your children' to her clients, just like how Mei's mom was told something similar by her own mom.

I totally don't mind if movies are inspired by other movies, but this many similarities and within a year of Turning Red's release, it felt super derivative and distracting. 😭

I saw a lot of Luca in the premise too, as in the, 'sea creatures are hated by humans, they blend in to avoid persecution, also, being in contact with the water reveals what they are' thing. This wasn't as obvious to me as the Turning Red stuff, but it was on my mind for a bit..

It was weird how Ruby somehow blended in, despite being blue and having tentacle hair/ears, because visually, people wouldn't buy that. I wish the writers did some kind of charm thing, like having a lil bag of sand in her pocket, to make her look totally human and bypass the 'would people really be convinced by this?' deal. That said, there was obviously commentary on how some people are painfully, obviously different in some way, but they try hard and manage to convince people they're normal, and it's exhausting to them, and Ruby even ranted about this, and maybe the blue skin was a super overt way of showing that, but idk, it was so hard to buy.

'I don't even know you!' lol.

Ruby's friends seemed like peas in a pod with her at the start of the movie (her 'squad'), and significant because of the whole prom thing. But once they caused the inciting incident and Ruby-kraken appeared, they were relegated being part of the town's whole kraken conspiracy, and prom subplot, which took a back seat to everything else. Idk how I feel about this.

There was some kinda xenophobia allegory in the movie, between the ship captain dude and the townspeople. I liked this, but it wasn't the main focus, and it felt like it got lost among the other storylines?

We had the 'princess' storyline, the 'fighting mermaids' storyline, the 'becoming friends with chelsea' storyline (which for most of the time seemed like a totally unrelated storyline to the 'mermaids' one), the 'fighting with mom' storyline, the 'three friends' storyline, the 'fitting in' storyline, and the 'prom' storyline. Omg fam. There were so many competing things! The movie felt unfocused, especially once all the storylines started getting mixed into each other.

I personally can't do radio pop music in movies, it always dates em. The pop music playing during Nerissa's reveal was especially out of place to me.

I loved the part where Ruby's mom told her with authority to talk to her, but then was sympathetic and tried to cheer her up. It seemed like a realistic mom thing to do, I dug it! I also liked how Ruby quietly called out her mom's hypocrisy when she said she didn't have to hide anything from her. I think that'd be cathartic to see onscreen for kids who have (or had) shitty parents.

Chelsea saying Ruby was super lucky or whatever in the bathroom struck me as tone-deaf lol, it definitely didn't take into account how isolated Ruby felt and kinda invalidated how she was feeling. But I could see how Ruby would get sucked into that and want to obey what she was saying anyways.

The kraken-training scenes were probably the coolest part of the movie between the colours and just. the creativity? That said, the luma on the white parts of the shots seemed super overexposed or blown out?? I was like ?? is this supposed to look like this?

So the ship captain had a panic attack once he learned the guy was a kraken, then somehow magically got over his kraken-phobia as soon as he slapped him once?? Ugghh. The movie set up the captain with obvious prejudice against krakens, and by resolving it in a comedic scene like that, there wasn't any chance for payoff. The townspeople had a better payoff, it actually felt warranted (Ruby saved the ship from Nerissa which was a big deal, they had a right to cheer her on). And then, obviously, when she defeated Nerissa.

The character models were ugly to me. They were just solid colours with unappealing proportions, noodle arms, and no texture on the skin. The big Kraken designs had glittery/scaly skin which was better than their small designs, which had no texture, but this doesn't look like a cohesive design to me. The legs look super heavy, the neck is just a cylinder, the head is a ball, then there's arbitrary fins and those weird tentacle legs, which have tentacle toes at the ends.

I really liked Nerissa's character design though. It was appealing in a proportions type way, and the colours didn't clash, the water hair was cool too.

I really liked the bait-and-switch they pulled near the end! I can see how some people would call it, though. Also: I feel like the bait-and-switch undermined the concept of how a popular teen can also feel left out for varying reasons, which is how Chelsea was presented at first, and I kinda wish they explored that instead, and explained that she was acting out because she felt alone etc. The way she was introduced and how the movie until that point centered around high school, I was convinced there would be something like that instead of what we got. So I'm conflicted.

Every time I think about how something could've gone different I can't help but think, there was way too much happening in this movie..

I didn't like the deus ex machina where Ruby suddenly said they could destroy the trident if they combined their powers or whatever. There was no indication or Chekhov's gun about how their laser eyes could do serious, significant damage in the rest of the movie, so the whole thing seemed like they just pulled a random way to destroy the trident out of nowhere.

I liked the ending, ie how they embraced their differences from the other townspeople and saw it as a net positive, instead of something to hide/a net negative.

As requested, I didn't watch the trailer before I saw the movie. I did watch the trailer afterwards and oml, the entire movie was spoiled! I wonder if that's why the movie was considered a box office disaster on top of the advertising.

Those are my thoughts, sorry for the essay <3

if you’re still doing monster headcanons, what couples costume do you think the characters would wear to costume party with their s/o? 🥺 tysm

Yes I love doing these! Okay so for this I am going to write each response as if the specific character is the one who got to choose the couple theme.

Kenzo Tenm: I feel like Tenma is honestly a bit uncreative when it comes to this sort of thing and, for the most part, would prefer to go with what his partner wants...however if it was up to him, he would probably go with something relatively easy to do, like going as doctors (lol he's already got the outfit) or one of those super easy pre-made costumes from stores, like a superhero or pirate. A younger Tenma might have opted to go as musicians from his favourite groups but I think he might feel he's too old for that now.

Eva Heinemann: She would go all out with this and if her partner doesn't want to put in the effort she would gladly do the entire thing for them or hire professionals for makeup. Theme wise I think she would go for something fun that fits the season of the party, so for Halloween she might do something like a corpse bride/groom but for a more generic party maybe a prince/princess, something like that. But it would always be a traditionally "romantic" theme.

Heinrich Lunge: I actually think Lunge would enjoy coming up with a costume theme a lot. He may be logic brained but he's also very clever and creative. It would depend on who other guests are, because he would definitely want to pick a theme that would make people intrigued. Alternatively: Lunge definitely saw the original star trek (60s) and totally thinks Spock is rad so they would go as star trek characters. No I'm not projecting.

Wolfgang Grimmer: Like Tenma I think he would probably go for a more "traditional/simple" theme, simply because he just isn't used to this sort of thing for himself and would only have minimal social experience with costume parties to know how they would be themed. That said, I feel like he would find humour in having himself and his partner dress up as a classic spy archetype.

Rudi Gillen: Rudi strikes me as someone who deeply enjoys horror and thrillers. I feel like regardless of the time of year, he would choose some sort of monster theme. But he also strikes me as the type who would want to show off his depth of knowledge of a genre, so he might pick monsters from a less "common knowledge" horror story, or a folkloric theme, or the "original" version of a monster from their literary works and explain all of that to any unwitting partygoers who ask. They just wanted to know what the costume is dude.

Nina Fortner: I think Nina enjoys reveling in mundanity. Instead of some sophisticated costume I feel like she'd enjoy dressing up as, say, delivery persons, or construction workers, teachers, just some random everyday profession. She might put a twist in it especially if the party is supposed to have a theme already but generally it's simple stuff like that.

Johan Liebert: I think he would find the premise of a costume party extremely funny, and rather than a particular "theme" would take it to the artistic extreme of dressing up as high level concepts, such as dread or excitement. I don't think they would be especially sophisticated costumes though, just enough of an "outfit" that it expresses the idea he wants. Low budget high concept.

Karl Neumann: Karl doesn't strike me as being super into costume parties, and maybe feeling out of his element coming up with a theme, but he would probably want to pull from what is already familiar to him. I feel like he would pick characters from books he enjoys, or TV or film. He'd definitely put effort into making sure the costumes look good, rather than the store-bought kind.

Jan Suk: Suk is a simple boy with a simple mind. You know he would do cops and robbers. Though who would be the cop and who would be the robber? I feel like he has a hard time letting go of being a cop but for fun he'd switch it sometimes.

Lotte Frank: Absolutely some kind of historical costume. Though not necessarily "prince/princess from a certain time period" I feel like she'd have more fun playing the roles of, say, common folk of different professions. So like, a blacksmith and a farmer or something like that. She'd also try to make it as authentic as possible, so if she chooses a knight she's going to do her best to make period-accurate armour. She LARPs btw

Christof Sviernich: Christof would probably pick something thematically tragic or unsettling. Something like Romeo & Juliet complete with accessory (fake(?)) dagger and poison. Maybe they don't even have the accessories right away but take them out later to completely change the tone of their theme. Something that on the surface people might recognize as sweet but the more you pick up the details the more it becomes a tragedy instead.

#naoki urasawa's monster #monster asks #monster headcanons #also I'm adding to this that Lotte goes to renaissance fairs and so does Lunge but like as the trekkies pretending to be lost in time #probably not really but it's a funny concept #yes really for Lotte tho

It just occurred to me that Omega!Silco must have had a hard time giving up smoking and drinking during all of his pregnancies while living at The Drop (A place filled with drinking and smoking patrons) with Vander 😂

Did Silco develop somekind of hobby (eg knitting) to keep his fingers and mouth busy ?

Also did Silco's water ever broke in the most inconvenient time? (eg: At his stay in Piltover or during a negotiation? Or even during an argument with Benzo, lol)

Oh yeah, the thing I keep not including in any of my fics because I'm VERY aware of the effects of drinking and smoking on pregnancy and around young children despite not being 100% sure the characters do. I say that Silco stops drinking and smoking at least for the pregnancy for my peace of mind.

Also Random Pregnancy Culture Fun Fact: Guinness (the beer) was suggested to pregnant and nursing women to help boost their iron levels and help boost ones milk supply until basically we got modern iron supplements (and like most traditions it still lingers in some families), comes from the UK I believe. I actually know people who were given a pint (well glass IDK if it was an actual pint glass) of Guinness by family/partner to drink right after they gave birth. And while I'm aware you shouldn't drink alcohol while nursing I feel like that later tradition fits a bit too well here I kind of have to include it (and one glass of relatively low strength beer is pretty negligible).

(for Zaun Family) Viktor's the easiest at least on the drinking front because Silco isn't literally living in a bar. But he's probably been smoking since he was like at the oldest 12 himself so that habit is ingrained and going to be hard to break even for the length of a pregnancy (minus the time it took him to realise). And the poor bastard can't even have a celebratory drink when they do open the Last Drop because he's already pregnant with Claggor.

In basically every other verse and the other pregnancies in Zaun Family Oh yeah it's hard. But, you know, he's already putting in all the other effort to make the kid, so what's 9 months of no smokes or alcohol going to do to ensure they're as healthy and well off as possible? (Be even more of the reason he gets pregnancy insomnia thanks to withdrawals).

I do think Vander probably tries not to drink or smoke around him in some level of solidarity.

The obvious habit Silco might develop is nail biting (satisfies the hands and the mouth) and possibly drives him to keep his nails super short so he can't bite them. Food's probably another thing he can turn to (which you know he is eating for two). I could see him getting into the habit of sucking on the ends of pens because he does it without even thinking. I don't think he goes out looking for a hobby though, just gets extra habits.

Oh yeah I haven't told you guys about the idea with the fourth pregnancy while he's Zaun Representative offshoot of him giving birth in his office in PIltover have I?

Claggor's one where his waters break once he's already in active labour so is already well aware of what's going on and set himself up in his nest with the midwife by that time. And Mylo IDK for some reason I think he rides out the early part of that labour in their bathtub so his waters break while there if it's not also after he's been moved back to the bedroom and is in a bit more of the active labour phase (although it could be funny while he's making plans with like teenaged Sevika who already was kind of team 'not having kids' and is now EVEN MORE SET on that life decision despite Silco taking it in his stride).

... it's with Viktor isn't it? The one that came a bit earlier than predicted where he still hasn't fully learned the different between practice contractions and early labour. I mean it was a very effective method to get Benzo to shut up and back down even if it also made him turn a shade of green.

#Zaun Family #mpreg #Arcane mpreg #Silco Arcane #omegaverse #Arcane omegaverse #Ramblings of the Goddess #Q and A with the Goddess #Anon question #I mean I also know people who did drink and smoke #through their full pregnancies (different to the Guinness people)#(note I do not like these people partially for that reason)#but you know Silco is a Good Parent #and will just handle his personal suffering for the good of his kid #I do however think he possibly used booze to settle his babies #once they were born #either drinking it before nursing to pass it on to them #or rubbed whisky along their gums to help with teething #Which is still Not Great but somehow #I'm a little more comfortable with it (only a little)#Probably because they don't cause Fetal Alcohol Syndrom #And you yourself have to probably be shitfaced #to have a massive effect on them #but still don't do it any alcohol bad for babies #but these are not real babies they are fictional ones #and it's not like they have access to teething gel #so... ehhhhhh

so everyone knows facebook marketplace is wild, right? when you hear its name you probably think of random ass garbage people are trying to scalp you on, right? im here to tell you, you have no idea how fucking ludicrous this site gets until you search for harmonicas on it

this is a super anti climactic post for anyone not intimately interested in harmonicas, but im only partially being sarcastic. like harmonicas are getting expensive, ok? one of the leading brands, hohner, just knocked their prices up by like 35% on some of their models. so ive been getting most of my harps used (and cleaning them of course), primarily locally so i save on shipping. but people have no fucking clue how to price harmonicas. the amount of marine bands from 30 years ago listed as "vintage" with an $80+ asking price is ludicrous (context for non-harmonica nerds below, but buying new they're usually about $60 in the us, $70 in canada). harmonicas are, like, THE most disposable instrument in history, and the build quality of hohner instruments from like the mid 70s to the 90s are NOTORIOUSLY BAD. no one was taking care of harmonicas back then, they were so cheap and easily replaceable. so don't try and sell me a worse all-around product for more than i can get a new one for with literally less effort.

on the flip side, however, many people also price them very low...which is good for me and, the way i see it, no skin off their back if they just want to get rid of it. like just look up how much a harmonica costs, there are buying and selling guides online!

sometimes these two extremes collide in hilarious ways though, like once i saw 2 hohner koch harmonicas literally side by side, both the same condition judging by descriptions and photos, one selling for $40, the other for $300. WHAT?! maybe i spend too much time staring at harmonicas but that is really funny to me

context (cw lip violence): the marine band is the most popular model of harmonica. there are actually 3 or 4 different types of marine bands in production today, but when someone says just "marine band" its usually a "marine band 1896", which is like the og harmonica. it features a design mostly unchanged since 1896 (which means we have definitely progressed in harmonica technology lol), with a wooden comb (com. being the middle part that the holes are in) that expands when your spit gets in it which then cuts your lips, and assembled with nails (as opposed to screws) which makes it difficult to disassemble and clean/modify

needless to say im not a fan of marine bands but if you replace the comb with a quality 3rd party one and change the nails out for screws, it's a pretty decent instrument you can often get pretty affordablely

#harmonica #super niche rant #but i had to get this out somewhere it's so funny to me #facebook #facebook marketplace

random rec’s from june!!

watched and willing to recommend:

killing eve (s4)-

overall, this show is pretty fucking good. dark, deadly, twisty, bloody, and two amazing women leads who are obsessed with each other to the point of ruin.

as for this season? it was my least favorite out of all of them.

I’m still dead sea levels of salty about the ending and the way they just didn’t put as much effort into the relationship between them. like they could have used the last three episodes to tell a super heartbreaking and bittersweet ending that would have just ended the show on such a good note but it fell super flat.

i think some of the writing could be better and the relationships fleshed out better but overall it’s just ass kicking assassins murdering everyone all the time.

also jodie comer is one of the best actresses i have ever seen!!! and sandra oh has always been a favorite of mine and she is just fucking breathtaking.

first bite-

so not the best show in the whole world but I like that the characters actually feel young in this. they act awkward around their crushes and they say really silly teenaged things, they focus on school and love a lot- not just the supernatural side of things and there are actual adults involved in the super dangerous things most of the time which doesn’t always happen. i feel like the romeo and juliet theme isn’t as terrible as i thought it would be (i just can’t with shakespeare) which may be because the wlw content but 🤷🏼‍♀️ also no one made a big deal about the fact that the two leads like each other but are both women— they are much more upset about the hunter/vampire thing, love seeing sexuality portrayed like it’s just a normal thing because it is.

the cgi isn’t the best and some of the plot and writing could have been better. it just felt like a new show with a low budget trying to be picked up and despite some of the flaws I enjoyed it. if they made a season two I would watch it.

also the bonus mom and son interaction at the end got me all in my feels, lort I even cried.

warrior nun-

so i actually really liked this. i passed over it multiple times on netflix because i was like ‘oh no not nuns...’ and despite me also being weird and loving weird things i just couldn’t pick it up. then i saw some cool ass gifs on tumblr that had badass women and women looking at each other lovingly — so I gave it a try.

there was a lot more comedy then I thought there was going to me and as a person who really values humor it made the whole show. the heavy and supernatural things weren’t overwhelming because of the funny and mundane things. cgi was okay— better then the untamed. lol

the plot could use some more attention to detail, like it wasn’t inconsistent and i had an inkling of who the bad guy might be at the beginning and i was half right so that was cool— i like that it kept me guessing. it just felt….incomplete. almost like they weren’t sure if they should go full throttle on relationship dynamics and didn’t want to make the storyline too confusing. i hope they really flush out the relationships and show all the emotions for season 2.

rewatch:

beyond evil —

okay, i know what you’re thinking, do you ever watch anything else? the answer is yes but this one is super special and i can’t stop rewatching it. this time i focused more on how joowon grew and his actions throughout the show but especially the later half of the show.

it was really interesting to just focus on him and how his mommy and daddy issues (said with affection) have shaped him. i tried to think more about his trauma, to understand his reactions and reservations. because at the beginning he’s super arrogant and annoying but still was a good person with the capacity to be even better. he was misguided, naive, stubborn, arrogant and so many other things but he wanted to good. he couldn’t ignore that he helped take someone’s life especially when he was literally seeing the aftermath it created.

as always i recommend this to everyone that even remotely talks about media around me.

still watching because of adhd:

another epic transmasculinity moment in combination with everything that went to shit recently.

tw for below cut: dysphoria, slight n/s/f/t topics

aye so this week was absolute bullcrap?

i started hating my flatmate with a burning passion. i tried to excuse his laziness multiple times but ive given up on him. hes just an ass and a useless one at that.

i usually dont talk about other people like this because it makes ME feel bad because im being "mean" or whatever but with him? holy COW hes crossed multiple lines. very little to no remorse on this one.

he does not clean his shit and makes me buy things that are shared, like soap for example. i bought a new container of soap once i noticed that were running low, not ONCE did he make the effort to get some soap himself. its like this with other things as well.

his only humour is making a fool out of me (which i can handle. its just annoying) or sexual shit (also mostly involving me) and since im running a 2 person household on my own essentially i had some type of meltdown/breakdown this last weekend. developed a nervous tic because of it too which gets worse the more tired/frustrated i am. i also seem to have some stomach problems whenever im out of it nowadays and its gotten to the point that people asked me if im hungry because its just. that loud. REALLY uncomfortable especially in class.

today he overslept, which happens multiple times, but today was also the first day he actually had some consequences due to it which i like! but THEN he has the audacity to ask if i "tried to wake him up" which, to me, implies that he thinks im obligated to. almost yelled at him right then and there i had to leave the fucking room.

its also kind of my fault i guess? i could just communicate my problems with him more openly, directly order him to clean/buy/whatever but then i remember.

this guy is as old as i am.

i am NOT his fucking dad or something he should be doing these things UNPROMPTED when living together with someone he barely knows!!

on another note, the guy that realized that im trans is spending more time with me recently and i genuinely enjoy spending time with him as well, hes one of the very few people that doesnt get on my nerves. he plays my favorite videogames with me which are my special interest :)

this comes with a problem however: were both mlm and openly mlm at that, so people began "shipping" us (eugh. hate to use this word in this context).

usually i would find it funny, he finds it funny too because we both know that its not gonna happen but this comes with a certain problem.

people begin putting you in boxes, whether conciously or unconciously. especially with gay relationships, a lot of people seem to be fascinated by the idea that same sex couples still somehow have to fit into heteronormative "standards" (stuff like "who wears the pants" "whos the woman" "who takes it up the ass")

obviously im in a bad position. next to my friend, i am smaller. have wider hips, the face of a twelve year old and when i get nervous my voice goes higher in pitch.

if we WERE in a relationship, i would be percieved as "the woman".

that is so, so painful. no matter how hard i try, unless i end up with a super feminine twink bf (lol purposefully exaggerated im sorry), im gonna be the more feminine one and that is extremely shitty when it comes to passing in public.

had it happen today: i go out to grab boba with my friend.

this might just be my paranoia, but i have a feeling that for mlm couples, due to the way that society is, we dont really look like couples to the average heterosexual because unless we were to make out right in front of them homosexuality just isnt a possibility that comes to mind.

so we go up to the counter to place our order and the guy asks if "my friend is paying for me". nothing unusual BUT my language uses the same word for friend platonic and boyfriend/girlfriend romantic in some cases, meaning that it was very, very ambiguous, but to us it sounded like he meant it romantically.

my friend of course just laughs it off and i would like to be able to laugh too, but the truth is that HE was the one referred to as my "boyfriend". what does that make me in the eyes of a heteronormative society? with wide hips, a high voice and a babyface?

exactly. the girlfriend. checkmate.

dysphoria has been bad in general this week and in combination with all the other shitty feelings i couldnt shower. lower body dysphoria reached its peak too.

people joke about me being the bottom, stereotypically the more feminine one in the relationship and its beginning to hurt because they dont even KNOW. i just kinda wish i could talk about it, say that it makes me uncomfortable but that would make me suspicious and everyone in my class is already suspicious enough.

theres nothing i can do. i will have to live like this forever probably. i think i need to readjust my personality again just so i dont come across as androgynous or whatever. i also really need to get rid of my customer service voice, as i like to call it.

shout out kaytranada

for saving my ass on aux lol. i think it's funny that i always end up trying to aux even though i know my music is too low energy for pregames. now i know! i'll just play kaytranada and queue songs! and when the queue runs out it'll go back to kay who is a great default. this was a trick i learned from jf, queen of aux, whose default one night was say so by doja cat. whenever that song came on again he would start adding to queue.

i only recently got into listening to kaytranada, maybe like a month or two ago. this was spurred by two things. i thrifted his merch from goodwill awhile ago and i didn't wanna be a fake fan. but also like about a year ago a stranger and close friend both wanted me to listen to him. his sets are wilddd! his baselines are so tropical and warm which is funny because he's from montreal. en francais hon hon hon.

i love 10% with kali. cuz it's like, positive music:

You keep on takin' from me, but where's my ten percent?

Why you tryna lie for them?

Pretending who you are But baby why even pretend?

You're trying way too hard

Ego is not your friend I only speak the truth

No, I'm not trying to offend Why you tryna lie for them?

kali uchis actually embodies beauty. and kali and kay are both so lowkey, they make a great duo. kali's message here is such an important reminder like -- when you compromise, when you make a little white lie, when you opt for being convenient/agreeable, who are you doing that for? and at what costs are you doing that?

okay and here's this thing i've been thinking about. it's kind of long so that is my preface. my idea is: beauty/pretty privilege can be modeled by prisoner's dilemma!

prisoner's dilemma is this idea in game theory where two individuals are pitted against each other, and both suffer because they can't cooperate. if the two prisoners can cooperate together, their prison sentence is reduced. but the police or whatever incentivize them to rat each other out. in the end, the two people act in their own interest, rat each other out, and both suffer.

pretty privilege is social impunity. pretty privilege is when people treat you better than you treat other people. and there are many variants of pretty privilege: thin privilege, cute girl perks, hot girl perks, eurocentric girl perks, etc. the point here is that, depending on one's physical appearance, our post colonial society decides to treat people (namely women/femmes) better or worse.

example of pretty privilege (and also a counter example). whenever i ask for help -- is there a bathroom in this grocery store? can i get some free tap water instead of paying for bottled water? is this train going in the right direction? can you give me recommendations on what to order at this restaurant? -- strangers are happy to help. from my point of view, they're almost flattered that i would be willing to ask them! lmfao. the counterexample to this is the experience of Black men -- i can't speak to this personally but someone talked about how he never gets help. never!

another (counter)example of pretty privilege is when going out. like bars or dinner. i went to this chinese restaurant with a bunch of bengali grad student dudes and they seated us.... on the second floor... with all the white people! i was so incensed. but i was like, no, this makes sense. it was a big group, too.

so my idea is that. women/femmes are incentivized to make themselves as appealing as possible to reap the most amount of pretty privilege. this is the answer to kali's question, "why you tryna lie for them?". for me personally, as a chinese girl who's super short and not particularly curvy, i've noticed how i am invisible when i wear less revealing clothes. like, i actually look like i'm 13 years old. and like when i do makeup and such and glitters it does make people notice me, and sure it may bring unwanted male attention but it also establishes a certain baseline of respect. the more effort/time i put in my appearance, the more personal space i am afforded by strangers. and everyone who knows me knows that i hate being touched by strangers it generates massive ick.

misogyny and whatnot mold us to be appealing, to be agreeable. it's a wager of -- i'll look this particular way, i'll talk this particular way -- so that i can get the treatment i want. cuz sweatpants hoodie amba is not getting SHIT from anyone lol.

but then this touches on control, on entitlement, on vanity. because honestly i do feel validated when people notice me, whether it's like walking around campus or downtown or whatever. luckily it isn't the basis of my self esteem, but.. i would be lying if it wasn't at least nice you know? it makes me think about people who are very conventionally beautiful and just completely out of touch with the world because everyone is so nice to them and then the beautiful people are very mean because they don't know it's impunity. (i think my goal is to not let it get to my head. and i don't think it can get to my head too badly because i... want to live a happy life and not be caged in so i try to distance my inner self image from my physical appearance.)

(another aside: i think beauty is something that lifts people up. so i don't think the type of people i just described are beautiful. and that's why i think people like kali uchis are beautiful!)

(another aside: what about influencers and beauty? i literally grew up on youtube, but as i'm growing older, i'm realizing that influencers are like extensions of the beauty industry -- at the end of the day, they make money off of others' insecurities, usually. it makes me feel sad.)

the influencers segueway is pretty good, actually. because question -- what's so wrong about people playing the cards in their favor with pretty privilege? why can't everyone be pretty? because of inflation! and the proof of this is LA. QED! lol jk i haven't fully thought about these parts so i'm not really sure. but i do think that people out in the midwest are nicer for sure. like, everyone here just seems to have more substance. and people here are definitely less mainstream beautiful. i mean, how could you possibly be beautiful when i can't see your face and you can't see mine because we're all bundled up from the 10 degree windchill lol.

and finally let's talk about blame. blame or accountability, idk. to whom shall we point fingers for this problem? it's easy to point at the individual prisoners for being dumb and not cooperating. why can't they just agree to not rat each other out? why can't women/femmes just agree to not give into this game. but my opinion is that, the entire prisoner's dilemma set up is dumb in the first place, so at least when i think through these things, i'm not trying to blame those "beautiful" and mean people, or anyone at all. this reminds me of mina le's video about plastic surgery -- one individual person getting plastic surgery is never wrong, but the whole phenomena of plastic surgery among young, impressionable women is at least a bit troubling, right?

so yeah these are the things i think about instead of doing my problem sets! i'm going to heat up some dinner now and hopefully vacuum the apartment. i've been really happy because my roommate is out so i can finally have it as clean as i want.

Here's a super long feedback you never think of :D *pull out a rolled parchment* Hey honestly I feel so grateful for this? Like you spent so much effort and you're so kind and warm and I could clearly see you doing your best to help?? So okay yeah my username was a big challenge wasn't it lmao you were close enough :) dd is my nickname and sorpresa is 'surprise' in Spanish.

Well, let's say I'm trying to discover myself more to understand, to feel at ease, at peace with myself no matter what, which is the opposite of the past. Perhaps that's why the 'odds' part shows up. I am (we are) working on that :) And yes, yes I am an alone person either my choice or not. Yes social interaction drains me and I don't feel in tune with my environment. My environment feels wrong, like it just feels wrong to be here, I don't belong here, I'm not like everyone here and that's enough for a mismatch. I think the best I can describe is an observer, if not an outsider.

I actually understand the whole thing. I think you did a wonderful reading there. I've realized for a while that nothing from external sources can fulfill this emptiness inside me, so I've been seeking for it inwardly instead. And human beings, oh right let me check my trauma list really quick- lol kidding (no i'm not). I think I'll work on myself first to feel safe, to heal; somehow it seems like hurting me is a very easy choice to make, so I will not let that happen again. A wrong environment also means I had low confidence. "I can't do it. I'm not like that. I don't have what they have" was the main villian in my story. But not anymore. I dropped out of my economic univerity a year ago and currently testing myself in psychology and art fields- my beloved, aka "I ignored you because this society doesn't think high of you". I've changed so much, and I will keep choosing myself despite any protest or hardship. Funny how there's a quick mention of true love and being careful with that because uh I actually have been led over and over back to a girl but I don't think this is a good time to think about that. I need to focus on myself and my knowledge first.

So that's all :D This is one of the best readings I've received in my life :D Thank you so much! <3 Have a nice day!

awww tysm for the feedback! I’m very happy to hear that this reading could help you and provide solace ♥️ I’m wishing u the best at university too! I’m a psychology major too and it’s really great so far so I think you’ll like it :) keep on choosing what resonates with you

NCT127 falling in love with a s/o with a time-consuming job like a lawyer or a doctor

NCT 127 with an s/o who has a time-consuming job

this is so cute, thanks for requesting! i made this in a format in the ways that the boys might show their care when you’re so busy with your job :) long as hell LOL enjoy!!

brief spoilers for shang-chi if you haven’t watched! i just watched it this week lol it was really good

→ TAEIL would direct conversations to a more neutral stance. it’s not that he wants to talk about himself, but sometimes if you don’t want to talk about your case or patients, he easily slips into conversation about theories or his favourite tv show or your rundown of what groceries to take for the next time you head to the supermarket. just really normal small things that take your mind off the stress, especially at night when you’re laying in bed and just before you’re drifting off to sleep, the two of you would engage in a topic that you both know fairly well about and then you’re usually the first to succumb to sleep. taeil purposely picks out topic he knows will excite you (and bc he knows you’re passionate about it, he reads up on it which allows a well-balanced convo). if you’re rambling on about a topic, then he’ll occasionally play the guitar while laying down, just simple melodies that bring a lot of peace to the room.

“wait- how d’you like this melody?” taeil softly says, changing it instantly when you commented on the previous, discordant one. your nod encourages him to carry on with the plucking of his fingers while you yourself continue with your rambles. “so i’m saying right, it seems totally unfair for him, and you’d think that, right? but all he ever does is whine and moan about his misfortunes, plus his character is so terribly written i kinda feel sorry for-“

the halted melody prompts a sharp turn of your turn to the guitar, which you almost collide with, “what?” taeil only shrugs. “nothin’. just like how passionate you get about the show, it’s cute.” your boyfriend smiles after, ignoring how his words affect you and how your cheeks heat up at it.

→ JOHNNY is one to take you out after your work. it’s not to a super intense, high-energy place like a club or anything, but small little dates that won’t take up much time. eating dinner at a restaurant, walk in the park, small cafe trip, strolling through supermarket to make fun of brand names. if you’re too tired that day, he always finds a way to make your time at home fun. from setting up a small karaoke session, to maybe making a pillow fort, to trying out new cuddling positions, he has everything on his mind. always showing you things to cheer you up if you happen, from memes to funny videos. is low-key down for you to review crime/doctor shows too, just to see how accurate they nail it. your time at home is consuming endless pieces of media until your tummies hurt or you’re sniffling at a movie together.

“hold on- lemme show you this video,” johnny’s hand is outstretched to you once he finds the video and your spoon full of food is left near your mouth. you proceed to watch the low quality video which your boyfriend claims to be the funniest video on earth.

W-HOR? WAH? the girl’s finger in the video traces over the word “who” as she struggles to pronounce it, with presumably her sister in the background prompting her. the repeated pronunciation of the word makes you snort, while the wheezing and the loud NO in the background causes you to fully erupt into laughter. johnny simply smiles at another successful attempt to make you smile.

→ YUTA always has a hand on you when you return home. he brings you into a hug, he guides you by your back, you have to eat with one hand bc he can’t keep his hand off of you. he hopes his little touches will ease your tiredness even by a bit and if you don’t want it, he’ll stop, but it’s yuta’s way of showing he cares without words. busy days with yuta usually involve just sitting in silence as you catch up on a show or a series, or even listening to a song in silence and enjoying each other’s company. he will talk if you want to, but if not that’s fine too, preferring more to stroke your hair in silence and think about how much he loves you. becomes very sappy when you’re in the quiet of your room and generally is very fond of the small pockets of time you get to spend before you two fall asleep. likes that you’re so resolute in your job but can be soft around him behind closed doors.

“you comfortable?” yuta calls out, barely above a whisper as he wraps an arm tighter around you. there’s comfortable ministrations that his does with his fingers, massaging the skin under your pajamas while you snuggle deeper into his chest. humming, you tighten your hold around his top.

“i am, yeah,” you can’t care much for the tv show on the screen now, with empty takeout boxes and tissues littering the coffee table. you feel the gentle kiss of yuta on your head before you’re drifting off to dreamland to a scratchy, 60s jazz song playing through the speakers.

→ TAEYONG would always welcome you back with a table set and food ready, always. he knows that food is the way to someone’s heart and you eating his food always makes him happy and offers to clean-up. lets you shower first if you come back together, puts you before himself very often that sometimes you have to tell him to tone it down because you don’t want him ending up more tired than he already is. following up on this, taeyong would show his love by cooking your lunches for you. when he has the time he makes the effort to put it in a nice bento or box for you to eat. he also does the general chores around the house (assuming the two of you live together) so the bed will be a little less messy when you come back, the floor’s cleaner, the countertops aren’t so cluttered with stuff. even if there’s nothing to clean up, he always these small little things before you come back, and even if you don’t notice it, he sees the way you’re able to navigate the space or when you’re more at ease and it makes him smile.

“do you want to shower first?” taeyong calls out softly, admiring the clean house he’s managed to do up before he went to meet you, “i’ll just hang around until you’re done.”

“you need to prioritise yourself too, yong,” you pout, rubbing a hand up and down his forehead as you toe off your shoes, “how ‘bout we shower together? you did clean the house up pretty nicely.” that earns a grin and a kiss from taeyong, who goes straight the prepare the bath. you chuckle, “he’s already forgotten what i’ve told him.”

→ DOYOUNG supports you silently and listens to your day when you return home and talk about your patient or a case you’re working on. he gives you his own input when he sees fit but other than that he wants you to explain the details. being a doctor and lawyer is crazy and hectic and just wants you to know that you’re appreciated in the workforce. the way he might show his love when caring for a busy s/o like you is when he brings you stuff that you might’ve forgotten like an umbrella or your lunch since you were rushing out of the house earlier. he doesn’t mind going the extra mile to you literally bc it’s a win-win! you get your food, he gets to see you, etc. if not he’ll send someone over to pass it to the receptionist, or he’ll make up for it by meeting you outside the office to apologise and then ask you what you wanna do so he can make it up to you.

“did you manage to get the bento i bought you?” doyoung asks worriedly through the phone, holding up a hand to the staff member who was beckoning him to his photoshoot. “you bought so much!” you exclaim, with a shoulder to your ear, phone perched in between, “thank you doyoung.”

“’m sorry i couldn’t come over to give you your lunch today, angel. i’ll see you after you’re done with work, okay?” you smile at that, shooting a quick reply before you delved into your food.

→ JAEHYUN would honestly serve you once you come back from a busy day tbh. where taeyong does the chores around the house, jaehyun helps by doing the chores on YOU and only you. giving you massages, bringing you dinner on a tray, other unsaid things… and maybe even carrying you from room to room lol he’s relentless and just goes you need to rest, lemme help. big gentleman even when you reject him, doing smaller things like constantly checking up on you, pulling the blanket higher onto your body, cuddling you closer to his body when it’s cold. on top of that jaehyun also one that would meet you at your workplace and take you out like johnny, but those dates are extremely chill. he lets you choose, and when you’re not sure, he takes you on a night picnic at the field or a rooftop, just dinner, but outside bc the view is really nice and he likes the way you look even after a long day of working.

“where should we park our mats?” your head moves from left to right, looking for a suitable spot while you tug on jaehyun’s hand. he hums at it, searching for a spot just like you are. the wind’s blowing gently when you settle near a tree, mat occasionally flying up which you counter with your heavy laptop bag.

“any idea where we can get desserts later?” you call out as a half-joke, not expecting jaehyun to pull up his phone to instantly search for a baskin robbins. “there’s one close-by, wait here for a minute and i’ll go get one for you-“ you laugh before pulling him back down, “don’t worry! we’ll go together, plus i don’t want to be left alone.” jaehyun softly smiles, nodding along as he takes out the food he packed.

→ JUNGWOO has similar intentions like johnny, except he would just wanna stay home. where johnny’s goal is to make you laugh, jungwoo just likes doing things together at home. playing board games, folding the clothes together, making dinner together. it’s not that he doesn’t want to do it, but when he’s given free time he sometimes just likes to laze at home and rest from schedules. he sometimes takes himself out of bed to help before you come back but he’s lazy lolol. loves it when you’re both equally tired and living off 5h of sleep. it’s not romanticising the lack of sleep but your schedules just don’t allow you to sleep equal amounts of hours of sleep. through that, you’re at least able to connect over sleepy talk and droopy smiles while you make the bed or assemble a lego piece or playing video games. if jungwoo’s energetic enough he doesn’t mind doing the crazier activities but he generally prefers those activities done in semi-silence while you exchange jokes and funny videos.

“noooo- no! you only need to move three times, you’re cheating-“ jungwoo pouts and moves back your playing avatar back three spaces on the board game. you purse your lips, not expecting him to see it since he was particularly invested in the movie playing on the screen. knowing it was a shitty film, you tried to talk him out of it, but he insisted. with eyes glued to the screen a few seconds earlier, you took your chance to move down one more space in order to get the benefit on the game board.

“you’ll get to buy a house soon, honey,” jungwoo grins cheekily, laughing even more when he’s able to move four steps, landing on the square that you wanted. now it was your turn to pout as he flips the card for property purchases, happily placing it next to his five other houses. “you’re so annoying!” you say as you fall back on the bean bag, but jungwoo doesn’t believe it when he sees a smile poking out from behind the hands shielding your face..

→ MARK sends you a looooot of texts. your convos with him are just him spamming questions or sending you memes. on every platform LMAO he has tweets sent, ig dm’s are blowing up from the weirdass nct memes that some of the fans make, he uses the official nct tiktok account to send you viral trending videos and he’s like we should try this!!!! and it’s a couple doing acrobatics or some shit. he’s crazy. anyway, he just likes to share things with you, from songs, to playlists, to youtube videos or interesting topics like crime psychology or movie theories etc. he knows that you’re hardly going to see it in your job but he sees the way you react across the room when he sends you stuff so he’s sure that you’ll like it after you get off work. sometimes likes to rickroll you, he knows it’s an old trend/troll thing but the thrill of seeing your frustrated replies always make him laugh out loud. when you’re back home, the both of you review whatever you send each other and then laugh together at them.

“hey, babe, check out this video,” mark says in a text, pasting a twitter link to a video. the video starts out interesting enough, mentioning something about a fun fact with stunning visuals has you wanting to learn more. when the guy in the video starts on his first word, the video immediately changes to rick astley with never gonna give you up. you mutter a small fuck under your breath, gaining a bit of attention from your colleagues during lunch break.

under the table, you flip him off in a picture, which he responds with a big smile of his that’s obviously teasing you for falling for it. you’re going to get it when i get back home!!!!! on a new high, you text the message and set your phone down, already excited for the evening where’d you be able to spend your time with him.

→ HAECHAN is a mix of everything kinda. he’d bring you out after work sometimes and other times likes to stay at home, mainly takes you out to eat after work, but that’s the extent of his after-work-escapades, he doesn’t want to tire you out too much. i think one prominent things he likes to do to is vlog to you, send you videos of what he’s doing on set or at home and just treats your convo like a bank for endless videos. y’know how there’s this video feature in telegram? he sends sooo many of those that you have the time of your life watching those on the ride back home. if you have time, you HAVE to facetime him during your lunch break and tell him how you’re doing and how’s your work coming along. do i have to kick someone’s ass for making you feel uncomfortable? is that patient being creepy again? and you have to explain that haechan, no, that patient is an elderly you cannot beat his ass. he’s like i don’t care, creepy dudes are not excused!!! and you can’t help but smile at that. always wants to be talking to you, close to you. if one day, you’re able to bring him to your job, this man follows you around like a lost puppy and just admires what you do, it’s endearing.

“ah, wait- you know how the sister, xia ling was sent to shut down the ten rings army? well… i just reviewed some of the articles and-“ the video cuts into the next one, haechan’s face zoomed in as he looks straight into the camera, “y’know, she might become a villain one day, i don’t know. maybe i should review some of the comics too?”

“anyway! come look at our set for the music video! it’s sexy, outfits are fire, sets are so good, the choreo this time isn’t too hard, either.” haechan asks the other members to wave as he passes them by, no doubt going his own make-up and hair after the others were already done, “okay, gotta go- love you bye!” you smile at that, texting a quick reply before you open up a video of your own, whispering through the speaker with a promise that you’d see him tonight.

+episode 1

The show started with a toddler playing on the bed, obvious that his parents were on each side of him.

Oh? Do we have a new member?

The baby suddenly turns to poke his father’s cheeks. His father grumbles in response, pushing the small hands away from his face lightly.

“Daddy,” the toddler mumbles, “wakey wakey,”

Oh? This baby can speak English?

His father let out a low grumble. His face was blurred from editing.

The toddler pinches his father’s cheeks as he let out a giggle.

“Daddy, you look funny,”

What? He can speak Korean too? I wonder who their parents are.

The toddler then leans down to press kisses all over his father’s face, his father cracks a grin.

“Hello, I am NCT127’s Jaehyun,” Jaehyun bow to the camera with a smile.

“Hello, I am Y/N, wife of Jaehyun and mother of Jung Seungwoo,” you greet.

“How long have the both of you been married for?”

“We’ve been married for almost 4 years,” replies Jaehyun.

“How old is Jung Seungwoo?”

“He’s turning 2 years this year,”

“How many kids do the both of you want?”

You look at Jaehyun, who was already staring at you. The both of you let out a laugh.

“I actually want 2 kids,” you say, “but before we got married, Jaehyun said he wants 5!”

“I was joking!” he exclaims, “but now it’s up to y/n, it’s her body and I’ll respect her,”

Jaehyun’s eyes flutter open, his dimples showing as he grins at his first born. He automatically puckers his lips, waiting for his kiss. Seungwoo didn’t hesitate to press his lips against Jaehyun’s.

“Good morning,” Jaehyun mumbles, shutting his eyes.

His son whines, tugging on his father’s huge hands, “I’m hungry,”

Without hesitation, Jaehyun stood up, carrying the toddler in his arms.

Woah! Their house is so big and clean! As expected from an idol!

Jaehyun places his child on the baby chair, leaning against the counter, facing him, “What do you want to eat, Seungwoo-ya?”

“Strawberries!” Seungwoo says cheerfully, slamming his tiny hands on the table.

His father hums and takes out the box of strawberries. He washes the strawberries thoroughly before cutting it into edible pieces and filling them in a bowl.

“Here you go,”

Jaehyun places the bowl of fruits on the table. His son reached out to take the fruits in his hands but was stopped by his father’s voice.

“Jung Seungwoo,” Jaehyun glares at his child.

“Why were you being mean to him?”

Jaehyun laughs, “was that mean? The both of us have been trying to teach him dining etiquette,”

“He’s almost 2 and still isn’t very good at using utensils, so we have been a little stricter with him,” you explain further.

“Thank you for the food,” Seungwoo says as he clumsily pokes the strawberries with the plastic fork his dad has given him.

��‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

Jaehyun had spent the whole day spending with his child alone. He had cook, played, change diapers for Seungwoo all alone. Because of the show, you had to leave for a day.

After putting Seungwoo to sleep, he stepped out to the living room in the dark. He pulled out his phone, dialling your number that he had memorized.

“Baby,” he whispers when he hears you pick up.

“Jaehyun, how was it?” you ask him.

He lets out a sigh, “exhausting,”

You laugh at his response, “did he behave the whole day?”

He hums, “yeah, we went to the market earlier then to the playground since he wanted to play,” he explains.

You hum in response. You didn’t really know what to say since you know the cameras are still filming your husband.

Jaehyun lets out another sigh.

“You okay?” you ask. You could sense that Jaehyun wasn’t only tired, but he was also down.

Jaehyun finally lets out a choked sob, he tried to quieten his sob, knowing his son is asleep in his room.

Is he crying? Why is he crying?

“Jae? Why are you crying, baby?”

It took him a while to find the right words, “I didn’t know it took this much effort to take care of a child,” he whispers, “I’ve never properly taken care of my own child, I feel like a bad father,”

“Don’t say that,” you frown, “you’re a good father, Jaehyun. Seungwoo loves you.”

“I’m sorry for not helping you earlier,” Jaehyun whispers, his voice breaking, “I’m going to help you more now,”

You smile at his words, “It’s okay, Jaehyun. Don’t think too much about it, okay?”

Jaehyun lets out a shaky sigh, tilting his head up to wipe the stray tears, “okay,”

“Now go to bed, baby. Seungwoo doesn’t like sleeping alone,”

Right when you finished your sentence, Seungwoo started crying in his room. Jaehyun rushes to his son, stroking his hair.

“Daddy is here,” Jaehyun whispers, lulling Seungwoo to sleep.

“You’re a good dad, Jaehyun,” you continue, “go to sleep, okay? I’ll see you in the morning,”

“Okay, I love you,”

“I love you too, Jung”

+episode 3

Seungwoo was in the middle of the both of you, his left hand was wrapped around Jaehyun’s as the other was wrapped around yours. He would occasionally pull himself up, so he felt like he was flying.

“Seungwoo, what do you want to eat today?” you ask him, looking down at the playful boy.

“I want to eat something spicy!” he giggles.

You gasp, “spicy? Will you be able to take it?”

He nods, “I want something super spicy!”

“If that’s what you want,” shrugs Jaehyun, “we’ll get you the spiciest food,”

Oh? Are they being serious? Are they going to feed Seungwoo really spicy food?

The scene changed to Seungwoo sitting with a small portion of Jajjangmyeon in front of him.

“I’ll eat this well!” cheers Seungwoo as he picks up his chopsticks to eat.

The emcees laugh at the scene.

“can he actually take spicy food?”

“Nope!” you reply, “he’s tried cup noodles but complained but it was too spicy,”

“He thinks Jajjangmyeon is spicy.”

+episode 7

“Seungwoo,” calls Jaehyun, walking out of his room, “go get ready,”

To everyone’s astonishment, Seungwoo continues playing with his toys, ignoring his father’s words.

“Seungwoo,” Jaehyun repeats. When his son continues ignoring him, he lets out a tired sigh, walking to you.

Oh, what’s wrong with Seungwoo?

You suddenly came out of your room, walking over to your son, “Seungwoo, go get ready, we’ll be leaving soon.”

Seungwoo stops playing with his toys, looking up at you, “okay.”

Is he mad at his dad?

15 minutes ago…

“Daddy I want to eat chocolate,” whines Seungwoo, tugging on his father’s leg.

His father shakes his head, “you’ve eaten enough, no more chocolates, Seungwoo.”

Seungwoo let out another string of whines, pulling his father’s pants, “but mommy says I can eat some!”

“No,” Jaehyun says sternly, “you’ve eaten enough, Seungwoo.

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

Seungwoo was on your left, his hand holding onto yours. On your right was your husband, who was also holding your hand.

Your son has been throwing tantrums at his father ever since at home because Jaehyun wouldn’t let him eat chocolates.

Seungwoo notices how Jaehyun was holding on your hand. Letting go of your fingers, he walks over and pulls your hand from your husband’s and holds your now free hand.

He’s so cute!

You let out a soft laugh, looking over at Jaehyun who was shocked by Seungwoo actions. His son turns around to stick his tongue out at his father.

Your husband walks on the other side of you, secretly reaching out for your empty hand.

“Seungwoo, do you like mommy more or daddy more?”

“Mommy!” the toddler replies without hesitation, showing his grin.

“Why do you like mommy more?”

Seungwoo looks around, making sure his parents wasn’t in sight, “because mommy lets me eat chocolate!”

“Mommy, carry me,” Seungwoo whines when he saw his father standing next to you. He lifted his limbs, waiting for you to carry him.

“You’re a big boy, Seungwoo, you don’t need mommy to carry you,” replies Jaehyun.

You hit his arm, letting out a laugh. You carried your son, placing him on your hips as the two of you walk happily.

“Mommy you love me more, right?” Seungwoo asks, his hands on your cheeks.

“Hm? I love both you and daddy the same,” you answer.

He shakes his head, “No, daddy is a meanie, you love me more right?”

Jaehyun scoffs at Seungwoo, “mommy loves me more,”

You chuckle, “I love the both of you the same, stop arguing.”

Seungwoo suddenly pulls your face closer to his face as he pecked your lips, quickly pulling away.

“Do you love me more, now?”

“I can do that too,”

Before you could even reply, Jaehyun used his pointer finger so you were facing him. Your husband left a sweet yet longing kiss on your lips, pulling away with a cheeky grin as your son let out a grumble.

+episode 11

“Can we invite Naeun over?” Seungwoo asks, tugging on your hand.

You hum. Naeun was one of Seungwoo best friends, and one of your husband’s close friends too. They practically grew up together.

“Babe,” you turn to your husband who was watching the news, “is Taeyong free? Seungwoo wants to see Naeun.”

“I’ll text him,” your husband replies, fishing out his phone to text his friend.

Seungwoo crawls into his father’s lap, watching his dad type a message to Taeyong. When he saw his father finish typing, he looks at Jaehyun with a cheeky smile.

“Can I play games on your phone?”

Before Jaehyun can even reply, Seungwoo already snatched his phone from his grip, crawling out of his father’s lap to play games on the phone.

︵‿︵‿︵‿︵‿︵

About an hour later, you hear the doorbell ring. Seungwoo quickly ran to the door, waiting for his parents to open the door.

“Naeun-ie!” cheers Seungwoo as he hugs his friend, pulling the little girl in his room, playing around.

“Hi Hyung, sorry I had to call you so last minute,” Jaehyun apologizes, hugging his friend.

After most of the members getting married, most of them have decided to focus on their private life.

“It’s okay, Naeun was missing Seungwoo, anyway,” replies Taeyong. He suddenly hands you a bag of fruits, “I remember you telling me that Seungwoo really loves strawberries, so I bought some on the way,”

That is so nice of Taeyong!

“You didn’t have to! Thank you, Taeyong,”

You place the bags of strawberries on the counter.

“Where’s your wife?” asks Jaehyun, noticing that his friend came alone.

“She’s busy with work, she couldn’t follow me,” explains Taeyong.

+Episode 18

The scene started with Seungwoo attempting to crack an egg, putting it in the bowl. Luckily, the attempt was successful, although there were some eggshells in it but Jaehyun managed to take those out.

“What were you guys doing?”

“It’s Mother’s Day today and we decided to surprise y/n,” says Jaehyun with a smile. “I told y/n to go out with her friends today so I can prepare the surprise.”

Jaehyun planned to bake a cake for you. He originally wanted to make a romantic dinner for you, but you had told him you would be getting dinner with your friends, so he decided against that.

Seungwoo climbs down from the chair to go to a camera, whispering, “Daddy is a really good cook!”

“Daddy,” Seungwoo calls out, his father hums without turning around, “can I give the uncles yoghurt drinks?”

“Go ahead, Seungwoo,”

The uncles might’ve been there for a long time, that’s why he’s offering them drinks. He’s such a sweet boy!

It took the boys a total of 3 hours to finish preparing the cake.

Jaehyun heave a sigh, wiping the sweat on his upper lips with his sleeves. Jaehyun had frosting on his cheeks and forehead.

“Daddy, you have frosting on your face,” Seungwoo giggles, pointing at his father.

Jaehyun cracked a smile, even though he didn’t bother wiping the excess frosting. “How is it, Seungwoo?”

Seungwoo turns to face the cake.

The cake is huge! It had 3 layers and it was covered in white and baby pink frosting (your favourite colour). He had also bought some edible flowers, sticking them on the sides of the cake.

Jaehyun put so much effort and thought into this!

“We have 2 more hours until mommy comes home,” says Jaehyun, looking at the clock, “we’ll take a shower then will you help me with the flowers, Seungwoo?”

His son nods excitedly, “yes!”

After the both of them have taken a shower, Jaehyun brings out 5 packets of flower petals.

Jaehyun bends down to face Seungwoo. His son reaches out for the bag of flowers, but Jaehyun snatches it before he could grab it.

“We are going to put the flowers and lead them all the way to the living room, okay? Can you do that?”

Seungwoo nods and Jaehyun passes him one bag of flower petals. The both of them start arranging the flower petals, making sure it was perfect. When they reach the living room, Jaehyun had arrange the flower petals to make a heart in the middle.

“When mommy comes, you’ll stand in the middle of the heart, okay?” Jaehyun instructs.

Jaehyun receives a text from you saying you were on the way home. Panic fills Jaehyun, reaching out for Seungwoo, carrying him to the middle of the heart. He hands Seungwoo a bouquet of flower.

“When mommy comes in, just stay still until mommy comes to you okay?” Jaehyun says quickly, adjusting his son’s hair.

“Daddy you’re sweating,” mumbles Seungwoo.

“I know! I’m nervous!” his father lets out a nervous sigh. Jaehyun stands up, “I’m going to hide in the room, so wait until Mommy comes over, okay?”

“Okay!”

“And make sure you scream ‘happy mother’s day’ to mommy later!” reminds Jaehyun.

15 minutes later, Seungwoo hears the door unlock and stands up, waiting for his mother to walk in.

When you saw the flower petals on the floor you were confused.

“What is this?” you mumble, loud enough for the camera to capture. You walk further in, following the petals. You gasp when you saw Seungwoo standing in the middle of a flower petal heart.

“Seungwoo-ah, what is this? Where’s daddy?” you ask, going over to your son.

“Happy mother’s day!” yells Seungwoo, running over to you. You immediately carry him In your arms, pressing kisses on his face.

You feel arms snake around your waist. You turn around slightly to see Jaehyun smiling next to you.

“Did you do all this?” you ask him.

“Who else?” he murmurs.

“I helped too!” Seungwoo interrupts, raising both his arms.

“You did a great job, baby,” you coo, pressing more kisses on your son’s face.

Jaehyun pouts at your words, unhappy that you didn’t give him a kiss. You put Seungwoo down, who immediately pulls you to the kitchen to show you the cake.

“You made this too?!” you gasp, “this is crazy, Jaehyun!”

“And yet you haven’t given me a kiss,” your husband sulk from behind.

You laugh, turning around and placing your hands on his cheeks, pulling him closer to you. You lean in to capture his lips in a sweet kiss.

Aww!!!

“Ewww,” Seungwoo groans, letting go of your hand.

You giggle at your son’s reaction, pulling away from Jaehyun.

The 3 of you sat on the floor of the living room while Seungwoo plays with his toys.

“Did you purposely kick me out of the house to do this?” you ask your husband, turning to face him with a smirk.

Jaehyun had one arm wrapped around your shoulder while the both of you lean against the couch.

Your husband groans, tilting his head back, “you can’t say it that way!”

You chuckle, resting your head on his shoulder, “I loved it, how long did it take you?”

“5 hours,”

“Really?” you pull away to stare at your husband, “you deserve a kiss then,”

Your husband immediately perks up at the idea and puckers his lips, waiting for yours. You lean in to press another sweet kiss on his pretty pink lips.

The both of you were interrupted with Seungwoo placing his fingers in between your lips.

He really hates it when his father kisses his mother!

“Should we play a game?” Jaehyun asks.

“What game?” you nod at him.

“We let Seungwoo pick who he likes more,”

You scoff at your husbands words, “why? Do you think he would run to you?”

“Of course!”

Seungwoo was standing a few metres away from his parents.

“Seungwoo, you have to run whoever is your favourite, okay?”

The toddler nods.

I wonder who he would go to, since he had spent the whole day with his dad.

As expected by you, Seungwoo came crashing on your arms. You laugh in victory.

After spending the whole day with your dad do you like daddy more or mommy more?

Seungwoo leans closer, whispering, “I like daddy and mommy the same,”

the blind date | jhs

(using this gif because it’s lillia’s favorite hobi (one of) and it’s the one i describe in the drabble but it’s in no way connected to the plot)

Pairing: Hoseok x (f) reader

Genre: Blind Date AU, fluff

Word Count: 1.3k

Warnings: Cursing, Boy Meets Evil Hobi, he has a tattoo and is super datable

Synopsis: You go on a blind date. The end.

Keywords I had to use: fishes, worms, plastic fork, the hag, textbook, tiefling (I AM NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN’T KNOW D&D TO MAKE D&D REFERENCES?!)

A/N: Okay, so first of all, happy birthday @moccahobi!!!! - this one is for you and I REALLY hope you enjoy it (it wasn’t easy, we barely know each other, but i hope it suits your taste 🥺🧡) a huge thank you to @casuallyimagining for saving my butt with the D&D language AND sneaking info about Lillia in order to hit the nail on the head with this one LOL. it’s a drabble, i struggled with it, honestly - don’t expect war&peace - i just wanted to write something cute

You don’t do blind dates. Full stop. One horrible experience was enough for you to decide to forever refuse blind date suggestions - even when they were coming from your closest friends.

That’s exactly why it took Yoongi literal years to convince you to go out with his childhood friend - according to him, he is the perfect guy and deserves the world, so whenever he happened to be single, Yoongi would try to literally force-feed him to you. For years, you have refused - until last week. Admittedly, you changed your mind only to shut him up - one torturous night with “the perfect guy” is a small price to pay if it means you could get Yoongi off your case.

So you decided to make an effort, put on a cute shirt and the jeans that make your ass look world class and even remembered to put on some perfume before leaving your apartment - and you even managed to arrive on time. And whatever it is that you were expecting, Hoseok was definitely not it.

In a white button up, with hair a shade of orange that you think wouldn’t suit anyone else in the world except for him, paired with a smile for miles, he was already waiting for you. Just by appearance alone, he was everything you didn’t even know you wanted and as soon as your brain resumed normal activity after a brief short circuit, you had managed to smile back.

Bright and talkative, with a smile that can brighten up the entire room, he looked you in the eyes and asked you many questions - listening to every word that left your mouth. And you asked him too, everything you could think of, questions you haven’t asked anyone before - from the classic ones about his favorite color all the way to whether or not he believes in aliens and if he thinks fish have soulmates.

With every answer, every sentence out of his perfectly shaped mouth (still stretch into a smile, of course), you found yourself sinking further - both in your chair and in your mind, amazed at how… interesting the man sitting on the other side of the table is - and how easily you could have missed the opportunity to meet him if you still stuck your ground and insisted that you don’t do blind dates.

“So, he sits up, right?” Hoseok explains as he waves his hands about. “And he’s wondering what the hell he sat on - lo and behold, he turned around and not only did he sit down on his own plate of cake, but he had a plastic fork poking at his butt.”

“Please tell me you have pictures,” you deadpan, hoping that besides being a hot ass date, Hoseok can also be a dealer for Yoongi blackmail material - you’re running low on your stash.

“Who do you think I am, an ameteur?” he jokes, reaching for his phone as you laugh - before he can get a chance to fish the phone out of his pocket, you notice something you haven’t seen before - a hint of ink on his skin, peeking from underneath his rolled up sleeves.

“Is that a tattoo?” you wonder, pleasantly surprised. Hot, cute, funny, good conversationalist and on top of it all - a badass. Jackpot.

“Oh, yeah,” he laughs, dropping the idea of showing you that picture of Yoongi in order to roll up his sleeve more so that you can see the tattoo properly.

Min Yoongi, you bastard.

“So you’re into tabletop games, huh?” you can’t help but smile at the sight of a 20-sided dice on his forearm. Is he real? Or are you having an incredibly vivid dream? Because there’s no way in hell that the stars can align like this - no way. Absolutely no way.

“Yeah,” he confirms - you can actually see that he’s having a similar realization - you have even more in common than you both had thought and maybe Yoongi wasn’t wrong at all when he said he has the perfect match for you both.

“What’s your character like?” you ask - normally, this would be a make it or break it situation for you, but even if Hoseok was to say something ludicrous, you have a feeling that you’d turn a blind eye to it, willingly and gladly. If there ever was a textbook example of the perfect guy for you (at least in theory), he’s sitting directly in front of you. No D&D sin would be enough to be a dealbreaker.

"Well, sometimes we change it up, but right now I'm a level 18 tiefling rogue. We're gearing up to take on Tiamat soon, and I'm soooo fucking underleveled,” his distraction is visible but it only makes you feel giddier, the more you watch him lose his trail of thought because he is so frustrated about D&D. “But my last character died to a hag a few dungeons ago, and... sorry. I'm rambling."

“No, I like that,” you find yourself shaking your head and smiling dumbly at him, knowing that at this rate, by the end of the night, you’ll be head over heels for him. “You know… if Yoongi had told me more about you, I think we would have had this date a lot sooner,” you admit - it’s not easy for you to find a way to tell him that you like him, without laying it all out in the open. Saying that Yoongi is an idiot for not discussing Hoseok, his personality and interests, in more depth with you is the safest way you can find to let him know that you’re enjoying the date more than you ever thought you could.

“Well, he should have said more about me, then,” he leans over the table, lowering his voice as he continues speaking. “But between you and me, I think now’s the perfect time.”

“Why?”

“Because you’ve had years to find the answer to the most important question that was ever asked,” he continues, dead serious - which is such a switch compared to his beaming smile, you find yourself growing serious, too. And incredibly interested.

“What? What question?”

“Do you prefer gummy bears or gummy worms?”

You can’t hold in your laughter - for a moment there, you actually thought he was going to ask you something serious. Despite the uncontrollable laughter coming from you, he does his very best to remain stoic - although you can notice the corners of his lips going up. As you finally calm down, you decide to humor him. Well, somewhat. “Am I only limited to those two? No like… gummy cherries or teeth?”

“Nope,” he shakes his head. “Only worms or bears. Life or death. Pick one. Red pill, blue pill.”

“Well, I refuse to abide by those rules,” you huff. “And to limit myself to only one variety of gummy candy. My favorite are those… you know, the sour stringy... things but I love them all and I’ll eat them all, damn it!”

At first, he says nothing, leaning back in his chair and dropping his serious act to smile at you. You wonder if in a few years time, you’ll be able to look at this moment as the one that truly had started it all - the moment both of you have decided it’s worth a shot. Well, a proper shot - more than just a blind date your friend had forced you to go on. Because to you, right now, it feels like it could become one of those moments. And you can’t wait to find out if he thinks the same - and, of course, if your prediction ends up being true. All things considered, it’s a long shot - too much, too soon. But stranger things have happened and none of those stranger things have piqued your interest as much as Jung Hoseok is doing now.

“Wanna go and find some… sour stringy things after dinner?” he suggests.

“You know what - I’d love to.”
