Ahm... HAPPY BIRTHDAY JK
And happy JK day Jikookers.
What a morning to wake up to!!!
Tumblr media
You open your eyes and this is what you are hit with.
The black and white couple in BLACK & WHITE.
Tumblr media
Happy birthday Kookie indeed.
Yes, that was JM's hashtag: Happy birthday Kookie or Kookie's birthday, depending on your translator.
I am definitley still processing.
Well JM, you have definitely out done yourself.
Tumblr media
Better than even this:
Tumblr media
Ok then, did I not say that JM will not disappoint us? He NEVER does!!!
Tumblr media
And yes. JM posted it to his account. Not a story. Not something that will be deleted or go away within 24 hours.
No.
JM posted this photo of the two of them in Connecticut on his IG timeline for forevers!!! Right next to his hot boyfie's Hot 100 post.
Yes JM, we know your boyfie is Hot and he's all yours. And you have now told us all just that. You claimed him!!! He is definitley yours.
Tumblr media
Had a hoot reading the comments, lol. Someone asking if they are together, and the answers. Many answer yes (surprising), but then, the denial some people are in. Besties. Brothers. Ok then. 🤣🤣🤣 Those calling them besties are probably same ones that ignore Jikook moments, ot7-fy them, dismiss them, but now they are besties... Well, my partner is also my bestie, so...
Good thing my timeline is curated, lol. I cannot imagine the way the fandom is imploding. I think this is kind of a good description though:
Tumblr media
So yeah, JM did not disappoint.
And dropping it at the start of the day for all of us to go nuts for the whole day too, lol.
Now, doing that, posting so early on (may I remind you that the last couple of years he posted toward the end of the birthday or even just after the day ended?), I cannot help wonder if there is more coming for us today...
I mean, JK's live, well an 9 minute live, an all new record for him. Funny how his records are how short his lives are, lol.
What do we know so far?
JK was out to dinner with others that he was practicing with.
Tumblr media
Took photos with fans that saw him out.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Posted for his birthday on 31.8.23 at 23:55 or 11:55 pm.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Coming home, still in same outfit as he was eating out, JK goes live for 9 minutes. A new record low (well, apart from his Mingyu live), lol. Shorter than his panty folding live.
He was a man on a mission. Coming to say hi.
Tumblr media
Showing us the 2 aces. Army. Yep.
Tumblr media
Doing a card trick.
Saying love ya, a term used multiple time by JM.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And diving out of there.
So, I wonder.
First of all, was there someone there already or someone he was expecting to arrive?
Same someone that posted that mind blowing pic to set the fandom on fire.
JK's live was at 00:55 am KST. Going for 9 minutes approx. JM posted at 1:33 am KST. I wonder. I wonder if they picked out that photo together, lol.
Oh, I got sidetracked, didn't I?
Because my point was meant to be: Is this all we are getting this year?
No cake? No long karaoke live? No long live period? No TikTok post from our birthday boy, who told us he is now a TikTok content creator? No Jikook live?
I mean, JM's pic, well it's a gift. But is it gift enough?
And no, I'm not being greedy here talking about a gift for us. I'm talking about a gift for JK. Because JK wants that damn live together. Giving him that live together, that would definitely be a worthy gift for his birthday!! Lol.
Just saying...
Did I mention everything I wanted to? Probably not. I'm writing this off the top of my head rushing to post, cause I need for this to be out there, like 2 hours ago, lol.
Kind of hoping that as the day goes by there will be more to talk about. Kind of counting on it, lol.
Oh wait, did I mention JK was wearing same brand as JM?
Tumblr media
Ooh, and forgot to mention that PolyC reposted JM's post:
Tumblr media
And last thing before I go:
I just loooooove seeing that JM, can't help myself.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok, so this gif does not do the JM justice. Watch the live and see just how pronounced it is!!! LOOOOOOOVE it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOOKIE!!!

Are you giving any credence to the info Purv has regarding CM?
No
Tumblr media
You don't say so 😳
Tumblr media
Good observation Anon! How come there's always something new when I just showed how fabricated her 'proof' is....
Tumblr media
Eeeeewwwww
Tumblr media
Yes I've seen it 🙄... The Hyrox patch is the same for one whole season, only the city name changes
The one for Glasgow this year
Tumblr media
Berlin
Tumblr media
Birmingham
Tumblr media
Los Angeles
Tumblr media
Do you need more?
Oh and this season (22/23) so far there have been these many events
Tumblr media
I didn't take the time to count all the participants of all those events, if someone wants to be my guest. But I think you can imagine there are thousands and thousands of people all over the world owning these patches of the Hyrox event.
Oh and I don't know how to clearly identify what exact city or cities the patches (note patches as in plural) on the backpack are from. Can you?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, sorry this is very blurry, and it is going to look very shippery this way. I just can't help... but really... help me out here?
And... yes, as I noted above, and there's still not something wrong with my eyes and I swear I didn't have a drop of alcohol all day. (and it's 3.30am right now) but I'm not seeing double... do I? I see two, as in 2 patches of this season! Do you see it too???
I don't know, but it seems to me that every participant only get one (1) patch from the event he/she participates in. And by my knowledge, and as we can see on the website, Sam only participated in the one at Glasgow. No other ones!!! Go, f.i look at Nic Rasenti's entries. he has a lot more, London and Glasgow. Oh, perhaps Nic was with her in Paris? Is that how she knows Sam? he has been in Paris before with Nicole. And perhaps he was hoping he would be one of the friends invited for his Miami birthday party and told Cinderella to go there too.... 🤪
See what I did here? I just did what shippers do, and what Purv does. She tries to paste a couple of random things together that slightly can in some very far fetched way be connected, but there are a ton of other options, which conveniently aren't taken into account. Needless to say I don't think it was Nic in Paris cheating on Nicole 😉 But I take it that my dearest gentle readers do understand that.
Right... next. Btw. she wrote 6 weeks ago in a hotel with Cinderella... 😉
Tumblr media
Now see, here's an Anon that can calculate for herself and use a calendar as well. Exactly, 6 weeks ago was Easter weekend, he was not only with his family but also spotted on the airport in Edi by a fan. (on 8 April)
But okay okay, I hear you she 'posted' a bunch of pics, she could have easily posted that a week later on. Okay... cause, it was Friday 30 March right, her Anon spotted them in a restaurant in Paris. Friday after he had just been one day on set (per the birthday post for Dries), that particular post you should expect Cinderella to like, especially if he would have given her the privilege to leave the set already after one day to spent the weekend with her in Paris. But exactly that one was not liked by her according to the fantasy lalalanders (how rude!)
Oh and for the record, if you would like to be in Paris in no time and not go through all the trouble an airport has, (going there Antwerp - Brussels and all the checks and security) we in Europe rather take the Thalys to Paris. Brings you right in the city at Gare du Nord, Very comfortable travel, and you'll be in the heart of Paris within the hour. Check it out people! (but yeah, I figure you in the US wouldn't dream of it)
right next...
Tumblr media
I haven't seen any video, I did never requested to follow Cinderella (I never follow any of those or OL related accounts). I really do not need to see it but thanks for your observation Anon
Tumblr media
There is no way anybody can identify the woman in NYC in the video, I even have the original one without the watermark... But for what it is worth, it doesn't strike any similarity to the pics I've seen from Cinderella.
Tumblr media
Yes we're calling her Cinderella. Thanks for you message, maybe I can make some more sense out of it. Read on!
Tumblr media
Oh... now that's rude, he didn't even bring a whole case of his whisky like he did for his birthday in Miami??? Not even a bottle??? Now... I'm totally disappointed now... or could it be that... oh right wait the backpack...
Tumblr media
or just maybe not! ^^
Tumblr media
Ah right the backpack! Uhm, I posted the image above. Let's do some comparing of backpacks we know Sam owns and travels with. (as that is what shippers do as well).
December 2022 leaving NYC
Tumblr media Tumblr media
See the grey straps? No match
11 January fanpic by QueenNurys IG
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These straps look even more broad with some cushion thing on the shoulder, I don't see a match. Do you?
Tumblr media
and doesn't this backpack look sort of green? 🤔
Nope nope nope....
Tumblr media
I think you're suffering from confirmation bias Anon. Don't worry though many do in this fandom
Tumblr media
How am I doing so far Anon?
Tumblr media
And how well did that work out 🤐
Conclusion: As said above, a lot of pasting things together. I really think P should be a bit nicer to shippers at this point as her posts are even worse in putting all kind of 'proof' together that is purely random and wouldn't hold in any court. She's making a fool of herself by doing the same things she condemns shippers for. Making the most fantastic connections that can be debunked easily in many ways. More over how these things come up right after something is posted here, like the Hyrox events. Why did she not notice that before... ooh right yes, her eyes after yesterday her eyes are hurting... but she had weeks in advance to figure this all out, no? Really, I almost have more respect for shippers for putting their posts together with proof (that also doesn't hold, don't get me wrong) but at the very least had more proper investigation and thoughts than what is fabricated here in 2 nights....
Now my dearest gentle readers, I hope you will grant me some sleep (3.50am right now) and hopefully I can spend my time from here on to real news and not fabricated nonsense.

Birthday Raspberries: The Origin Story
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DREAM!!!!
its dreams birthday, which is awesome, but that also means that my blog birthday is coming up, which is just way cooler, sorry dream (/j)
anyway!! this is the 3rd and unfortunately final installment of the birthday raspberries fic trilogy!! this one is a prequel to the other 2, so in chronological order is goes dream -> george -> sapnap :))
it's always so so so fun writing these fics, they're adorable, the dteam is adorable, birthday tickles are adorable, I love them. they're some of my favorite pics I've posted on here i think
little disclaimer before we start: this is a prequel, but it is still referenced to be dream 23rd birthday. does it make sense? no. but we can live with it
lee!dream, ler!sapnap, 3.1k words
enjoy!!
--
There was a certain tradition that Sapnap wanted to bring back. It was something that his family had instilled in him in his very early childhood but stopped as he got older, something that he remembered randomly one day in high school and renewed with his friends through those years, leading up to when they all went to college.
Unfortunately for Sapnap, a majority of his friend group split apart to move away for school or with their families, and most of his other friends were online, so this tradition that solely required being physically with a person was lost to him again.
Fortunately for Sapnap, he now lived in the same house as his best friend, frequently visited his other friends, and another one was coming to live with them soon. This was the perfect time to bring this tradition back again, he decided. Third time's the charm, right?
When Dream found out what the tradition was, he didn't exactly feel the same way.
It was nearing midnight, and the end of Dream's birthday, and Dream's family had already left a few hours ago after they came over for dinner and cake. Sapnap had offered to help make dinner, since Dream's family were bringing the cake, and between himself being helpful and Dream's mom being the cooking master, everything had turned out pretty good, and they had plenty of leftovers to last them the rest of the week.
Dream and Sapnap were laying on the couch in their living room, the newer one they had just bought a month or so before to better fit their living space. Dream sat partially slumped over, his arm draped along the back of the couch as he rested his head on it, legs crossed at the ankles as they laid out in front of him off the chaise of the couch. Sapnap laid perpendicular to him, lounging across the length of the couch with his head on Dream's thigh. They decided to watch a few episodes of an anime they were in the middle of before calling it a night, both of them still buzzing with too much happy energy to go to sleep yet. Finally, about halfway through the last episode of the season, Dream let out a yawn, covering his mouth and scrunching his nose up as he did.
"Tired?" Sapnap asked, tilting his head up at his friend. Dream nodded through the end of his yawn.
"Yeah, finally," Dream chuckled, rubbing his eye with his knuckle and sighing out the breath he'd spoken through. "I'll probably head up after this episode finishes."
"Mm…" Sapnap hummed in acknowledgment, looking back at the TV screen.
About 15 minutes later, the season credits were on screen, and Sapnap reached for the remote to exit out of the show. They spoke for a couple minutes about the ending, speaking in sleep-deprived tones as they giggled quietly. Sapnap spoke up again before they departed.
"Can I tell you a story I remembered earlier before we go to bed really quick?"
"Of course, I'm all ears," Dream replied, pushing his hood that had been covering his head off and running a hand through his hair.
"Okay, so like, I remembered this thing during dinner because it has to do with birthdays but I didn't get a chance to tell you bc it wasn't important," Sapnap looked up at Dream as he spoke, somehow still sounding energetic even with how tired Dream knew they both were. "So, when I was a little kid, like really little, my mom had this… I guess it was kind of a tradition? Where every year, on my birthday, she would come into my room in the morning and bring me breakfast in bed, and she'd, like…" Sapnap cut himself off with a small chuckle, breaking off into his own giggles as his face became a little pink and he looked away from Dream for a second before looking back. Dream had a confused look on his face, tilting his head like a puppy as he waited for Sapnap to keep going. "Okay, don't laugh, but she would, like, wake me up by tickling me and then she'd give me a bunch of raspberries, however many years old I was that day," Sapnap admitted through his giggles, and Dream smiled at his confession, giggling a bit to himself at the idea of a kid-Sapnap getting lost in laughter from a few little raspberries. "And, dude, when I was a kid, I fucking loved that shit, I thought it was the most fun thing in the world and then I'd eat my little bowl of cereal and bacon and toast that she brought me and she'd sit with me and I'd break her off pieces of the toast to eat and I thought I was the best kid in the world, it was fucking awesome."
"That's adorable," Dream responded, and Sapnap continued again.
"So then, when I got older, she kind of stopped, because once you get older and into, like, middle school or past age 10 that stuff tends to stop, which is fine, but I forgot about it for a while until one day in high school it was my friends birthday and I just randomly remembered it, so I was like 'fuck it', y'know? I wanted to bring it back, so when we stayed at his house that night and I made sure I was the first one there so I could tell everyone about it– and I made sure everyone was comfortable, I didn't go overboard or anything, but we were all pretty physically affectionate people so no one really minded that much, and also we all loved embarrassing each other so it just worked."
"Mhm."
"And since everyone kinda left for college after junior or senior year I only got to do it a few times, like I did it to that kid on his 17th birthday, another kid on his 18th, and this one girl in our group on her 18th, and it was always so fun and hilarious."
"That does sound pretty funny," Dream agreed, and Sapnap smiled up at him, knowing his plan was coming into action faster than he had imagined.
"It was… but anyway, that was a really long story, but it does have a point, okay?" Dream nodded. "So the point is… I think I wanna bring the tradition back." Sapnap explained almost sheepishly, looking up at Dream for reassurance.
"Sapnap, are you asking me to give you birthday raspberries when it gets to your birthday?" Dream asked with a wide smile, originally wanting to seem smug and embarrass Sapnap, but seeing the smile on his face made his tone come out as genuine and soft as it could be.
"No! Well– well, yes, but, that's not what I meant right now," Sapnap explained further, waiting for the lightbulb to flick on in Dream's mind.
It didn't. Instead, Dream looked at him as if he'd spoken a completely different language.
"I don't… I don't get what you're saying, then," Dream said, toying with the end of his hoodie string as he curled the end around his finger and pulled it to be even with the opposite string.
"Dream. I want you to let me do it to you."
Dream's eyes widened just slightly, glancing at Sapnap and then looking away, switching between the two as he let out a shocked chuckle.
"Oh…" Dream said, unhelpful, as he tried to think of anything to say in response. He fidgeted with his hoodie string again. "Um…"
"C'mon, please?" Sapnap asked, leaning up slightly on one elbow and reaching his free hand up to lace his fingers with Dream's hand. Dream let his hand be held, smiling despite himself. "I'll be nice! And– and if you let me do it now, you can help me do it to everyone else in the future too! Like– George definitely, and Karl and Quackity if we're around them on theirs. Just let me do it, come on, just, come on."
"But you said it's the same number as whatever age you're turning? That's a lot, Sapnap, you haven't had it done to you since you were 10 or some shit, there's a big difference between 10 and 23." Dream explained nervously.
"I know, but you did say earlier that it sounded fun!" Sapnap elaborated as he fully sat up, pointing a finger at Dream accusingly. Suddenly, he got a devious idea, smirking as he continued. "But I can be gentle, I get it, you're fragile."
"I'm not fragile!"
"It's okay, Dream, I understand, you're worried you won't be able to handle it."
"That is not what I said!"
"No, it's fine, you're just too ticklish for this, it's okay."
"N-no!"
"Maybe when we get George here he'll say yes and then it'll prove he's stronger than you."
"Fine!" Dream finally caved, pulling his hand away from Sapnap in favor of pulling his sleeves over his hands and curling in on himself. He sat cross-legged now, his hands folded in his lap and elbows brought in close to his body. "Fine, I'll– I'll let you do it, if you shut up about me being too 'ticklish' and 'fragile' to handle it, I could literally beat you up."
Sapnap smiled proudly, holding out his hand for a handshake.
"Deal," he said, waiting for Dream to grab his hand.
"Dea–" Dream tried to respond, but was cut off by a loud yell as Sapnap held his hand tight and yanked him forward. He was too caught off guard to catch himself, so he landed on his side, his shoulder colliding with the soft couch cushions and his knee colliding with Sapnap's arm. Before he could even process what happened, Sapnap was sitting on top of him, straddling his hips and reaching behind him to press his knees so they were flat as well. Dream tried to protest when he felt his hoodie being pushed up just slightly, the sliver of skin by his hip above the waistband of his sweatpants showing now. "NO! No, no, Sapn–AP!" Dream yelped, gasping and slamming his hands over his mouth when there was a sudden, unbearable vibrating sensation on his hip that felt like it was coming from inside his skin.
Sapnap had blown the first raspberry. And if that was just the first, Dream had no fucking clue how he was going to be able to handle the remaining 22.
He caught his breath quickly, body tense and stiff as Sapnap sat up and laughed at him.
"Shut the hell up," Dream said when he heard him laughing.
"I didn't even say anything!" Dream huffed out a breath and rolled his eyes, maneuvering his body so he was more comfortable. Sapnap let him move around, and he ended up laying fully back with his knees bent and his legs propped up against the back of the couch, his ankles against the arm. Sapnap moved over as well, sitting on the corner bumper of the couch where Dream was before in order to have full access to Dream's body.
"That wasn't nice," Dream muttered, crossing his arms in front of his chest in an attempt to seem intimidating, but his wide smile and the fact that he was still holding onto the ends of his sleeves gave him away.
"Which part, the throwing you around like a ragdoll or the part where I completely wrecked your shit?"
"Both!"
"Mhm, still think you could beat me up?"
"Yes! I definitely could!" Sapnap jumped at the opportunity, pushing Dream's hoodie up again and blowing another raspberry in the same place as before. "NO!" Dream yelled, catching him in the act this time and moving to push at his head. He still tried to hold in his laughter, biting his lip this time, until Sapnap blew a third raspberry, and then his attempts were lost. "Sapnahahahap!" Dream giggled out, grabbing at Sapnap's shoulder and shaking his head. Another raspberry was blown on his side, followed by a fifth against the bottom of his ribs. Dream took in a sharp breath as his laughter began anew, fingers gripping the fabric of Sapnap's hoodie as he pulled him away slightly. "GOHOHOD jeheheheez let– lehehet me breheathe!"
Sapnap giggled slightly as he pulled away, rubbing his palm soothingly over Dream's bunched up hoodie.
"Sorry. Guess I'm a little eager," Sapnap apologized bashfully. "You're just so cute, I can't help it."
"Shut up," Dream groaned, smiling wide at Sapnap's genuine words. "You're annoying."
"Yeah," Sapnap agreed, tone sweet, before he suddenly leaned forward and blew a raspberry right on Dream's tummy. Dream let out a strained, wheezy laugh, caught off guard once again by the sudden feeling, curling up slightly and instinctively cradling the back of Sapnap's head in his hands. Three more were blown in quick succession in a line just underneath his belly button, and he flopped back onto the couch just to arch his back away from the feeling.
"OHOH GOHOHOD, Sapnahahahap!" Sapnap pulled back to laugh along with Dream again, adjusting the way he was sitting to be a little closer to him. He pushed Dream's hoodie a bit further up, then proceeded to blow four raspberries in a diamond shape– one at his sternum, one at the front of his left side's ribs, one in the center of his tummy, and one on the right, before finishing that section with one right in the middle of the diamond. "Sahahap, plehehehease!"
"Fine! Fine, you're such a baby, you literally have, like, only 9 left," Sapnap teased, letting Dream catch his breath again. Dream's giggles kept up as he took a few deep breaths, reaching up to cover his face with his hands, before reaching further back to pull his hood up and over his head, pulling it as far as it would go to help him hide his bright red face.
"9 ihis still a lot, Sapnahap!" Dream mumbled.
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I can help, let's make it 8 instead," Sapnap continued his teasing, smiling as he dropped his head down to meet Dream's torso again, lips landing to the left of his belly button and making him arch his back. As he squirmed, turning as far onto his side as he could and leaving his back exposed, Sapnap decided to seize the opportunity and blow a raspberry on the back of his ribs.
The sensation hit Dream like a freight train.
"FUCK!" Dream yelled, covering his mouth with his hand and using his other arm to brace himself against the couch. His fist collided with the cushion twice before he simply resorted to gripping the fabric tightly between his fingers. His reaction was enough to make Sapnap stop on his tracks, grinning like a little kid on Christmas.
"Okay. I don't know what I just did, but I know for a fact that the rest of these raspberries need to do the exact same thing," Sapnap said, in slight disbelief at how much of a reaction that spot got out of Dream.
"NO, you don't!" Dream shook his head, moving to lay down on his back again, but Sapnap's hand pushing against his side stopped him. "No, stop! Stop, don't, just get it over with normally!"
"Absolutely not, I'm gonna do it my way," Sapnap explained as he pushed Dream harder, kneeling up on his knees before straddling the back of Dream's thighs when he pushed him fully over.
"Sapnap, noho, no, that's not fahair–" Dream tried to push himself back, but with the way his torso was twisted and the way Sapnap was sitting on his legs, it was almost impossible to do anything but kick his legs against the arm of the couch and turn fully onto his stomach.
"Alright enough stalling," Sapnap commented before pushing Dream's hoodie up his back, blowing another raspberry on the back of Dream's ribs. Dream arched his back again, not getting very far this time with the way his front was pressed into the couch below him.
"Nahahaha, ohohoh my gohohod, that's so bahahahad," Dream complained, squealing and covering his mouth in embarrassment when Sapnap placed three raspberries in a line up his spine, the first one right between the dips of the dimples in his lower back and the final one netween his shoulder blades. "Sahahapnahap, plehehehease,"
"It's alright, there's just three left, you're so close. You honestly lasted way longer than I expected."
"Whahahat– ahaha– whahat is that supposed to mehean?" Dream asked, turning his head around to look at Sapnap behind him.
"Nothing! I just expected you to tap out, y'know?"
"I dihidn't– AH!" Sapnap cut him off by leaning forward and blowing a raspberry against the side of his neck.
"Sorry, what was that?"
"Yohohou suhuck…" Dream mumbled, burying his face in his arm as he waited for the final two raspberries to hit him. "I wahas– I was gonna sahay Ihihi don't need toho tap out."
"Oh. Well, that's good, because I'm gonna make these last two unbearable now," Sapnap teased again, earning a loud, muffled groan from Dream. Sapnap took a deep breath, taking in as much air as he possibly could, smiling as he used all of his breath to blow one long, continued raspberry on Dream's side.
"NAHAhaha–!" Dream laughed freely, strength leaving his body as Sapnap repeated the action, blowing his longest raspberry yet as his big finale. He giggled against Dream's skin as he pulled away, tugging Dream's hoodie down and flopping down to lay flat on top of his limp form.
"Allllll done, birthday boy!" Sapnap said, still giggling along with Dream as he came down from his ticklish high.
"That was horrible. My spine is tingling," Dream explained once his laughter calmed down. "I'm exhausted."
"You're welcome," Sapnap said with a giggle, making Dream smile and shake his head against his arm.
Sapnap pushed himself up, standing and reaching a hand out to help Dream stand as well. It took him a moment to adjust himself, twisting his hoodie's sleeves and torso from where they were slightly turned from his squirming, and standing up straight to stretch.
"And," Sapnap began. "Just think. Now you can help me do this to other people too. Especially George."
Dream couldn't help but smile, the idea of George falling victim to the same treatment he was just subjected to sitting at the forefront of his mind.
"I would be honored."
And with that, the two parted to their individual bedrooms, and Dream went to sleep that night thinking about what it might be like if he was one to get Sapnap back on his upcoming birthday…
It may have been the best night of sleep he'd ever had.

update for a few art related things that i don't think anyone really cares about
1. went to the cinema 2 hours before a screening so that i could secure my ticket - wait for 2 hours - watch the movie. i took my sketchbook in my bag, just in case i get drawing urges while waiting. i didn't. but i did get thirst urges and got a cold water bottle. didn't finish it and put it in my bag. half way through the movie i stick my hand in my bag and my sketchbook is soaked.
the poor guy is still recovering and the paper is wavy. (this happened 3 days ago. i am too scared to open it and look at the damage)
so i'm INCREDIBLY thankful that i take pics of my work to post it here
pray for sketchy okay 👍
umm
2. still procrastinating on that birthday gift i was supposed to draw. it was for a week ago. i still haven't given that person their gift. i feel extremely horrible and private circumstances about this person and my relationship with them make the guilt worse. I just am not doing it and i don't understand why. i mean i have the time to watch barbie and hang out on tumblr. i don't know what's wrong with me. (this procrastination problem has been an extreme issue in my school/uni life as well. i am actively struggling and hoping i can get that fixed soon)
3. i made a commitment to a bunch of people on here for drawing requests - and still feel extremely horrible that i haven't finished any of them. i've done a few sketches for a couple of the requests and the guilt for that is also actively building up in my chest. i want to apologize to every one of you who have made a request and i don't know wether to give up and accept that i'm extremely unreliable or just make these people wait again. i can't seem to start and i don't know what's wrong with me.
4. any of you guys have advice for whatever procrastination-to-literal-no-productivity-at-all issues i have??? i feel like i'm begging for pity or attention but i promise i'm not this is like. a big problem in my life
5. also want to apologize for thinking i would NEVER procrastinate on drawing as an "ARTIST" who LOVES DRAWING SO MUCH. i thought this was just an issue with things i didn't want to do/most people don't like to do. like study for exams/homework/etc
i still knew my problem and overestimated myself and underestimated the power of whatever bullshit's in my head.
literally just tell me if you're willing to wait and see if i am capable of picking up a pen or if you just prefer giving up on it in case it takes too long
i genuinely really like all your requests and was genuinely interested in making them and i loved your ocs and your designs and your backstories that's not what this is about i swear
umm and uh
6. i have fanart and original ideas i also can't bring myself to start. like a spidersona, a barbiesona, character designing on new additions to my ocs, etc
i am in a server with friends and i see their work and just disintegrate because their spidersonas are so cool and they're friends and i have an idea for one but i just. literally let that inner saboteur (as mama ru would say) stop me from participating and stop feeling excluded
so in conclusion here is my list of art things i gotta do
- do the late birthday gift
- do the requests
- buy a new sketchbook...
- character work
- the sonas
- overdue fanart ideas
if you have any advice or any insight/input/personal experience with all of this let me know

What was the year/make/model of the last car you drove? I don't drive.
Have you ever been in weather below 0 Fahrenheit (-17 Celcius)? Gah, noooo thankfully I have not.
What was the last thing you used your phone for, besides calling/texting? Ha, it's rare that I'm using my phone for actual phone things lol. Anyway, I'm pretty sure it was TikTok.
Do you have more male or female coworkers? I don't have a job.
Did you enjoy high school? I liked some parts of it. Like, I actually enjoyed the pep rallies and assemblies. Honestly, while a lot of it truly was tough and I'll still stand by that, I think as I've gotten older and looked back some of the stuff maybe wasn't so bad after all.
What's an unusual food combination you like? I haven't had it in so long, but I actually think adding mayo to ramen is good.
What's the longest stretch of time you've spent completely alone? Just like half a day.
Have you ever lived in a studio apartment? No.
Did your parents allow you to drink soda when you were a kid? Yeah.
Do you always check the prices of things when you buy groceries? Of course. I don't have money coming out my ass. However, I do sometimes randomly throw stuff in, but it's a snack or drink and I know it doesn't cost much.
Do you like gyoza? I've never had it.
Have you ever been in a situation where you needed a lawyer? No.
Do you use Instagram? If so, what's your current profile pic? Very, very, very rarely. I don't even spend much time on it scrolling through my feed or watching people's insta stories. I just posted something for the first time in a few years for my birthday.
Did you ever go through an emo or goth phase? I had my emo phase when I was 16, but let's be real it was never just a phase.
What are your thoughts on kids being given iPads to keep them entertained? I don't see an issue with it. However, I personally wouldn't use a screen as a babysitter and I'd set limits to screen time. Otherwise, I definitely see the educational benefits. It's just wild how kids literally come out the womb nowadays knowing how to use a tablet or phone like wtf.
Do you get regular check-ups with your doctor? With one of my specialists, but not my primary doctor.
What was the last thing you felt apprehensive about? I'm apprehensive about everything.
How many nights per week do you cook dinner at home vs. going out to eat? I personally don't cook, so in that regard zero. As for how many nights I eat at home vs in my case how many nights I get takeout, it's something like takeout 4-5 times a week.
What's a trend you've seen recently that you thought was really dumb? I will never understand the whole Crocs trend or the little charm things you put on them. I just can't.
Do you know anyone who has been evicted? Not to my knowledge.
When did you last wash your sheets and pillowcases? A couple weeks ago.
Have you kissed more than 10 people in the past 10 years? I've only kissed 3 people total.
Have you ever been caught outdoors away from shelter during a thunderstorm? Gah, yes. I was at an outdoor festival and it just randomly started POURING. It was crazy.
Did you leave the house before 10 AM yesterday? I didn't go anywhere yesterday.
What's your favorite macaron flavor? The Fruity Pebbles one.
How often do you have friends over to your house? --
Have you ever had a boss who acted unprofessionally?
How many times have you stayed at a hotel in the past year, and where? I last stayed at a motel in March of 2022.
What kind of technological advancements do you expect there to be 100 years from now? >> I can't fathom this
Have you ever done a flip on a trampoline? No, I can't go on a trampoline.
What about a flip off of a diving board? I can't do that either.
What was the last hot beverage you had? Coffee.

Tumblr media
Wow, so apparently today is the 8th anniversary of me starting this art blog. I started Threshasketch in the September of 2015, and my main blog the year before in June.
In that time, I've gone through drawing OCs, fanart for numerous fandoms, traditional style line work and pencil sketches, digital line work and coloring, painting photo-real style, and so, so many chibi art pieces. Art has been my rock through some really hard times in my life. Posting cute chibis to brighten somebody else's day helped brighten mine.
Since 2015, my country has gone through three different presidencies, the world has gone through (and is still quietly going through) a global pandemic, and I've gone through years of struggling. Most of that struggling has been in the past 5 years, but boy does 5 years sound like a lot of time to be struggling for basic living things like heat and food.
Things were really bad just a few years ago. At one point I only had electricity four hours per day, because I couldn't afford gas for the generator. I uploaded digital art because "scanning" (taking pics of on my phone) traditional line art was hard when the place I was living was so dark. Patreon and art commissions were the only reason I had money for food on many occasions.
I've had to move three different times in the past four years. I got rid of or lost a lot of my belongings to live in a small space. Had to deal with rats in my living space twice in as many years. Had to take my 23-year-old cat to the vet to pass peacefully AND help my parents take their little dog with heart failure to the vet to pass peacefully in the same year.
Did I mention I had major abdominal surgery this summer with months of recovery time? Yeah. That actually went really smoothly. I didn't realize how bad my health was getting for the past few years because it was a gradual problem, but I was exhausted all the time, unable to do much physical activity, and super anemic. Just passed the two month mark since surgery, and am feeling so much better it's shocking remembering how bad off I was before. Cripes, I should have done this years ago.
So why, if art has been a coping method for me, has this blog had barely any updates for years? Well, I overextended myself on art commissions, which made my art escapism into a pressure thing. It's nobody's fault but my own, but several of those commissions did not get finished, and that made art into a guilty thing, so I sort of...shut myself down on Tumblr, because drawing for fun seemed wrong when somebody was waiting on me to finish their art piece. So I stopped drawing at all for a long while. That helped nobody—it just made it so that I wasn't warmed up enough to draw the commissions, either.
I'm just now getting to where I'm financially able to reach out to the people who paid me for commissions and refund them. I've refunded several already. If you are one of my art commission customers, you'll be hearing from me, I promise. I haven't forgotten you, I have every commission I ever took in a list saved on my computer.
Speaking of financially able, I'm no longer supporting myself with art and Patreon alone. For most of The Pandemic Years I've been pouring all of my creative energy into becoming a full-time indie erotica author. I write my own stories, I paint my own covers, I do everything myself. It's the most fun job I've ever had, honestly, and it's paying my bills. ♥
I've managed to build it up into a monthly income somehow, and this winter is looking a lot less terrible than last winter. In general, my living situation is now stable, the roof doesn't leak, the lights all work, hell I even have a functioning shower and the ability to have running hot water.
Anyway, yeah. It's been a rough go of it, and this art blog has been around through it all. I got a new art tablet for my birthday, and drawing feels like being carefree again. Here's to many more years of art. ♥

I'm that anon. First of all thanks for the reply. People tend to ignore anons like this. Maybe you don't believe me but jikook is my favorite duo. I don't believe that tk are a couple, but I noticed that they're more close than before. And that's okay. The point is that what tkkrs are saying is the truth: after the hiatus, tk are free to live their lives and they're often together. And jikook is nowhere to be found. And maybe they see each other sometimes but you really think it's a positive thing if they see each other only at home? Why they can't do normal things like playing bowling etc like normal people? If taekook can do that, why jikook can't? And I dont believe in the excuse "jikook is private" because again, people spotted Jk at restaurants alone or with friends and they spotted taekook many times. So the only explanation is that jikook don't hang out or that taekook is more close than jikook. And if taekook are more close, clearly jikook are not a couple (and it doesn't mean that tk is real but it means that jikook is not real). I don't want to see jikook everyday, but I think that if they hang out sometimes, it's impossible that nobody spotted them, because they often see Jungkook or tk. So the reality is that probably jikook only meet if Jimin visits him, exactly like what happened on Jk's birthday. That's all. How can you believe that they're a couple? I believe they're friends. But not close friends like I thought. Jungkook prefers to hang out with Tae or Hobi (he even met Jin in october). So, he only sees Jimin if they have to film something or during birthdays because they're nice to each other? And the rest of their free time they spend it with other people?
P.s. maybe Tae was tired or sick that day. Who cares that he didn't visit Jk on his birthday if he can hang out with him the rest of the time? Do you prefer to see your friend one day in a year for their birthday (jikook) or many times in a year because you actually like to spend time with them? (Taekook)
Hello again! You seem sweet, I’m gonna take you at face value, cause at the end of the day I don’t really care. I want you to enjoy your life, I want me to enjoy mine, and if you want to read more into taekook hanging out you are so welcome to do so — like I already said.
When you ask how can I believe they’re a couple: easy. For me, I see chemistry, I see closeness, I see something between Jikook that I don’t see between any of the other members. And it sure as hell isn’t just “niceness.” That hasn’t changed, despite not seeing them out and about for a while. In fact, I think there may be several reasons that they may be actively avoiding being seen together, @kanmom51 has a great post about that, you can and should read it here:
I also don’t buy into the idea that it would be impossible for them not to be seen together. Celebrities, especially as insanely famous as these guys, can and should go to great lengths to preserve the last shreds of their privacy. I want that for them. Your statement “so the only explanation is that Jikook don’t hang out” is flawed. There are a lot of explanations for why we haven’t seen a pic of them hanging out (other than the ones we have). I’m someone who almost NEVER posts on social media about my personal life. If everybody I know went by your logic, they’d assume that my husband and I called it quits YEARS ago. Guess what? We didn’t.
I think you’re latching onto them not being seen in public and not posting too much on social media (cause let’s be real, what they are posting is adorable as hell and, in the case of Jungkook’s birthday video, very *ahem* not het) and using that as a springboard for a whole host of assumptions that don’t have any reality behind them.
I assume they spend time together because of JK knowing what kind of noodles JM didn’t want during the post-Busan-concert vlive (conversely, he didn’t know that Tae had given up drinking for months in the same vlive). Because of JK’s mom making birthday soup in honor of JM’s birthday (and JK could have clarified, could have said “she does that for everyone in the band though” but he didn’t). Because during that same vlive they simultaneously did a dance from a tv show without even looking at each other or being surprised that the other did it, which suggests that they watched it together, or at least have done that before, off camera. Because when Jimin put his lips RIGHT up to Jungkook’s ear during that we photoshoot to, idk, blow a fluff off of it or something, JK barely even flinched, much less moved away — almost like he’s used to having JM’s face that close to his. Same with JM’s reaction to JK groping his waist under his shirt for no apparent reason in Memories 2021.
Bottom line, you’re grasping. You’re using a few months worth of no fan-sightings (that we can confirm, mind you) to invalidate a bond that JM and JK have repeatedly shown us is meaningful to them. You’re free to start your own blog about how Jikook-used-to-be-close-but-aren’t, but it’s probably gonna be awkward when they come out with the next incidence of being as close as ever.

November 2019 -
Removed Stacey on Facebook, we had previously been round them on 2 occasions where both Liam & Stacey had a shitty attitude towards us (April 2019 & September 2019). I blocked both Liam & Stacey on Facebook a day later. Phil spoke to Liam about it and they seemed to have sorted any issues out.
January 2020 -
Twitter account with username now, whoknowsbitch1 was created. This account followed 10 people, including my friend at the time Leona, who Liam & Stacey had never interacted with. I was unaware of this account but this twitter account was created to make repeated tweets about me and saying Phil had no friends. It tweeted a total of 23 times, the final time being November 8th 2020, a day where I had replied to Liam on Reddit to leave me alone. This account also tweeted 7th August stating "Wow.. she really is a evil person. Glad she has pushed away every friend he had and now you are left with no one" on this day I was in hospital in labour, still unaware of this twitter account but I had not communicated with either of them because I was in labour.
March 2020 - Phil confronted Liam about Jess being funny with me on Facebook, after we told Jess I was pregnant before publicly announcing it, where Liam admitted to talking shit to Jess, this was when Phil blocked Liam on Facebook and cut all communication. Prior to this communication Phil had invited Liam to our Gender Reveal, which couldn't happen due to COVID restrictions. Liam never mentioned anything and said he was happy to attend. Final communication with Liam was in a group chat where Liam got mad about Phil seeing me after having chicken pox and stated none of his friends like me, something that was later spoken with his friends who Phil directly messaged and they said they have no idea about any of this and don't want to get involved.
March 2020 - After Phil had blocked Liam, 2 accounts in my name was created (TLOU_KirstyW & KirstyW_TLOU) both tweeting the same tweets (total of 15 tweets) calling me names and saying I had no job, when at the time I was on furlough due to a pandemic, something Liam Russell doesn't seem to be aware of. Tweets were made on the account 6th June 2020 - 22nd June 2020.
23rd June 2020 - after someone asked for my twitter username to follow me they made me aware of the 2 fake accounts, because i didn't want to unblock Liam, I had a friend called Joanne, have ago at Liam, this also includes her telling him to leave me alone. I have kept all of Liam & Stacey's accounts blocked whenever I found an account linked to them (Minty_the_bear, Liam_rw_r, TheRedScaledMan, S_Louse_P07, Simmer___92 this account originally called herself Izzy Darke, posted about her birthday and her boyfriend giving it away it was her. This account came up in People you may know on twitter because she had not blocked me, as soon as I saw the account, I blocked it and Liam on his Minty_The_Bear account said "thanks for keeping an eye on me" which was viewed through my block list. I kept an eye on my block list incase any if the fake accounts I had reported was deleted. But Liam doing this in his bio meant he was using the Izzy Darke account to view my account and realised it was blocked after trying to view it. There was also account under his sisters business name (Corneydesigns)
July 2020 - I had deleted my main twitter account that I'd had for 10+ years due to Liam and Stacey and created 2 new accounts. I made one, deleted it and then made a new one and never put my name on there or profile pic.
August 2020 - I came across Liams Reddit account (Minty_the_bear) where he was repeatedly bad mouthing me and Phil and I confronted him about his behaviour and told him to Leave us alone.
September 2020 - on Liams account he followed my friend Leona who blocked him because she knew who he was. This prompted Liam to put his Bio as "psycho bitches want me" once he was blocked and she did not communicate with him. For around 6 months Liam actively stalked my reddit, this involved him making comments how he wished me and Phil dead, until I deleted my account and then later made my new account (PersonaRyujiFan2022 on January 5th 2022, I had blocked all accounts of Liam which at the time was 2 Minty_the_bear & Theredscaledman, I had no intention to communicate with him)
November 2020 - Using my gaming fan (TLOUEllie if I remember correctly) account which was purely for gaming, I had ago at Liam who was using the account (whoknowsbitch1) for making comments about how I was controlling Phil in our relationship, talking shit about a newborn baby. I called out his behaviour and ended it with telling him to leave us alone, like I always have. Liams new account on Reddit was created (TheRedScaledMan) I didn't have my new Reddit account at the time so didn't know.
December 2020 - due to a mutual friend I found out Liam had a second twitter account (Liam_rw_r created December 2020, who had stalked my new twitter account and blocked it to then repeatedly stalk my account, I blocked the account)
January 2021 - Unknown to us until 2022 but an account under his sisters small business account (CorneyDesigns) was created. I found this account 19th November 2022 so nearly 2 years after it was created and blocked it, never interacted. A couple hours later the account was deleted.
Feb 2021 - due to ongoing trouble I phoned West Midlands Police on the 7th February at 4.39pm to report Liam & Stacey. On the 11th February I was assigned a case officer, who we discussed what was going on, send evidence and she put a warning next to their names incase they physically came near me.
March 2021 - Phil had made a twitter streaming account for his Twitch (DantessGames) and started streaming because he saw his friend James enjoying streaming. Same month Liam did the same. Phil didn't have his name on his twitter account, but his first stream (3rd March 2021 at 8.35pm) which was Final Fantasy 15, we looked at the viewers to see Liam was in Phils stream under his first twitch account (Minty_the_bear) which he later made a new one called MintyTheRedScaledMan. When we saw Liams name we commented I the chat "Stalker alert" and Liams name disappeared. As soon as any account we have come across is Liams, we have blocked them and not unblocked them. We wanted to stop contact immediately.
11th April 2021 - Liam followed a friend of ours on Twitch (LieutenantBlythe) who later blocked him after realising who he was. He also followed my friend DarkWringer & DigitalHazard whilst they was both in a stream where I First met both, meaning Liam was in that stream following people.
Late August 2021 - The account SimOlogy__00 later renamed to Simmer__92 called Izzy Darke then just ❤️ was recommended on Twitter. We didn't interact with it at all, simply blocked which is where Liam promoted the bio "thanks for still keeping an eye on me" which was in result to us blocking the Izzy Darke account, we watched our blocked accounts incase this twitter was deleted but then noticed the Bio, which I screenshot it and posted "you'd only know if I blocked you if you was actively using the account to stalk us" and called him a dumb bitch.
October 2021 - Liam called my daughter a poisonous snake (she was a year old) so I reported Liam to his workplace for his stalking behaviour and also uploading sensitive documents which for a school environment breaches safe guarding. I made my twitter account private, which I never unprivated when I left the social media platform in November 2022. During October 2021 I had an account on Instagram recommended to me (pic__perfect__29) which I didn't realise at first was Stacey's account until I saw the initials S L P. She had took photos outside her front door at the time revealing her locations of where she lived, which was round the corner from Phils parents.
From then on because I made my account private on Twitter not much could be said or done by Liam & Stacey because they couldn't see any of my information. It was 2022 that we discussed with Phil and Liams mutual friends to not discuss anything to do with our home or daughter to tell them where we lived, they was very understanding and never had a problem.
October 2022 - I had blocked a few accounts I was suspicious of at the time, as always I keep an eye on my block list to see if they disappear because if they do, I was most likely right about my suspicions, to then see Stacey making comments publicly saying "oh hey there" which indicated to me the one profile was to do with them and they was once again calling themselves out, so on my twitter banner profile I called out their behaviour again and repeatedly told Liam and Stacey to leave us alone. I got rid of the social media platform and as of September 2023 I do not have a twitter account. I also made my gaming Instagram account private just incase Liam tried to cause trouble on that, even though I had blocked all of their associated accounts ( pic__perfect__29, redscaledmangaming, Stacey_Russell321, Stacey_Louise_P, Liam_r.exe) these accounts were listed through viewing my block list, I've never unblocked their accounts Once their accounts have been blocked.
27th November 2022 - I opened my Reddit to see a post on a Persona 5 Subreddit, this account made the same spelling mistakes as Liam, he can't spell Off, he says Of and he did it under a fake account called ASimpleManInADress where he called his partners name (Stacey) the most unattractive. Said she was pregnant and due in March and also talked about being unable to clean his arse properly after being to the toilet. He also made posts blaming me for an influx of spam emails (which I don't have any information regarding Liams email address) and saying I was causing problems in their relationship, the only things I have pointed out is Liams infidelity on Instagram during their early parts of the relationship, if it was never a problem to them, that wouldn't cause the problems they had.
18th December 2022 - Liam made a post about buying his partner a sex toy because he has a low sex drive and has no interest when she's not on her period. I blocked this account and never interacted with it. Phil also made all his twitter accounts and Instagram accounts private to try stop their behaviour.
January 4th 2023 - another account by Liam on Reddit was made (MrsNervous) which he managed to find my account, on this account he posted about his fear of dying, he once again playing victim to being stalked and harassed, which this timeline proves he started all of this and I've repeatedly blocked his accounts and told him to leave us alone (screenshots can be provided). He was using this account to block and then unblock me, I noticed one day it said deleted user to then being MrsNervous, I knew that was the result of being blocked and then unblocked and so I blocked the account Feb 2023, hours later the account was deleted.
February 2023 - Fed up with this going on for 3 years I messaged Stacey from an old Facebook account, called her out on their behaviour and told her of Liams infidelity and told them to leave me and my family alone and threatened if they carried on to send screenshots of liams infidelity to her family.
I have not had any social media for Liam to interact with since the last interaction from me on the 22nd February. I've made it clear plenty of times their behaviour and telling them to leave me and my family alone, I've never gone out to follow their friends like Liam and Stacey did to mine. I've created 1 account on Reddit under WonkyEyeLiam to tell him again to leave us alone back in 2020, but a few days later I deleted it and that was it.
September 2023 - being active in a subreddit r/Stalking where I talk about my experience I saw a post called "Just made a post about stalking" where I read the post and was reading the comments out of curiosity. At the bottom I saw an account called Littleredguardian who said "same here. I just avoid posting about my experience because of this, it only angers them" and because I wasn't blocked I didn't think anything of it, I looked to see if this person had posted previously in the subreddit to read their experience to then find out it was Liams new account. He made comments a month ago about reporting me to the police for stalking and harassing him, even though my last form of contact was Feb 2023 and it was calling out their behaviour for 3 years and asking them to leave us alone, the same sort of thing I've been saying to them for 3 years. This timeline will prove the fake accounts started first because of them being blocked as well and data on my social media profiles will show they are blocked and have been blocked since coming across the accounts, I've never had any interest in unblocking them.
From 24th Feb 2023 - present day I've been focused on my second pregnancy, I have not reached out to them at all because I am busy preparing for the birth of my second baby. I do not have Twitter as of September 2023, I do not have Tiktok, My Instagram is private and they are blocked. I have no interest in them and wish for them to leave us alone and move on like they should've back in November 2019.

random our life social media headcanons
bascially just how i think each of the characters use social media!
cove: probably only signed up for a social media account because of mc. doesn't post that often tbh, and when he does it's either a beach pic or something involving orca. he'd definitely make a post when orca hits some sort of milestone. only ever posts selfies when it's with mc for special occasions like christmas or their anniversary. there would definitely be a random post of just a really pretty picture of mc that he didn't mean to post but kept it there anyway because the picture's just so damn perfect.
derek: didn't make a social media acc until sometime in step 4 because he was always too busy for it before that. i feel like he'd post quite often, be it about what he did that day/week, a new book he read or a film he watched, and some photo dumps here and there. definitely has a decent amount of followers.
baxter: this man's social medias definitely follow a certain aesthetic. edgy poetry quotes, film quotes, dark song lyrics. some black and white photography in between. absolutely zero pictures of himself. his profile pic is probably a landscape photo that he took ages ago. his bio would either be a song lyric or completely blank. (or he probably doesn't have social media at all)
cliff: doesn't really know how to use social media, but enjoys it nonetheless. posts pictures of the beach and sometimes stuff about his shop. in my head he's totally obssessed with national geographic. once he figured out that post notifs were a thing, he decided he most definitely wanted to be notified when nat geo posted. and i feel like maybe he'd post a baby pic of cove, just because he could.
kyra: posts pictures pretty often of just about anything. like coffee or a glass of wine, or some photos of places she visits. is a pretty good photographer and you can tell by her posts that it's something she prides herself upon. definitely posts cove's baby pics when it's his birthday. does a lot of DIY stuff and posts about that too.
pamela: total facebook mom. spends so much of her time scrolling through argument threads in comment sections. picks a side and leaves a like on all of that person's replies. probably gets into a few arguments herself, tbh. only posts family pics. can watch 5 minute crafts videos for hours on end, albeit while angrily talking to her screen about how none of what they're doing makes sense. scrolls with her index finger.
noelani: definitely falls into the most random internet rabbit holes at like 3 am. mostly just shares what her wife posts. gets the most random mix of content on her feed and she lives for every bit of it. unironically uses 😀 and 🙂. watches plenty of kitten and puppy videos
liz: doesn't use social media that often, but when she does, it's to post a quick but somehow meticulously well-written rant about something that may have been bothering her. or to post something family related for a special occasion like a birthday or something
lee: probably an influencer. actively participates in trends, posts selfies often, and maybe a singing video or two. has probably made a thirst trap. she probably also has a fanbase of her own. has a spam account that she posts on about 15 times a day.

Fire on Fire - Chapter Nine
chapter eight // chapter ten
warnings: drug use, alcohol use, very abusive relationship
word count: 5k
Here we are! The scene at the end is the first scene I've imagined for this pic, everything is born from this moment, it's kinda making me emotional to post it now!
Tumblr media
“You won’t catch me!” Aelin laughed, looking over her shoulder as she took the material of her dress to raise it so that she could run without taking the feet in it. She would die before humiliating herself that way in front of so many people.
Her parents had outdone themselves this year. Usually, around a hundred people were invited to the parties her parents spent time throwing. Almost none of them were her friends, except the five people she spent her time with and Aedion who came back from Doranelle to see her. Everyone else was friends with her parents, not coming to celebrate her but to keep connected with their associate or in hope to create ties with other influential people.
It had bothered Aelin for years, her birthday didn’t really belong to her, but since she met Dorian it was more bearable. And now, her group had expanded, bringing a bigger smile on Aelin’s face.
Apparently, seventeen was a big age to celebrate considering her parents invited thrice as many people. She had never seen her house full of so many people, even when she threw parties after game nights at school.
“You sure about that?” Sam asked, beautiful as ever in the suit Aelin bought him for today, as he started ruining toward her.
Aelin’s laugh was loud as she began to slip between the bodies of strangers in his living room. She didn't care about pushing people, no, all she wanted was to not lose this little game against Sam.
It was around eleven in the evening and she and her friends had drunk enough to make them all tipsy. It was rare to see Sam touch alcohol, he always designated himself to be the sober one at parties, but he had accepted to get loose for Aelin’s party.
She had teased him too much tonight, but she loved to push his boundaries, loved to see how much he could take before starting to annoy her too.
People groaned as she pushed them but Aelin made it out of the living room, running through the kitchen and opening the back door, leading her to the garden. Thankfully, she wasn’t drunk enough to jump in the pool with her designer dress, gods knew someone would kill her if she ruined the garment, so she just kept running, going toward the back of the garden, away from the light and the crowd so she could maybe make out with her boyfriend.
Aelin looked behind her, Sam hadn’t been as lucky as her to pass between bodies because he wasn’t behind her anymore. Good, it had just turned into hiding and seek.
Not paying attention to where she was going, Aelin hit a hard body.
“Oh my god, I’m so sorry-” She apologized but stopped when she recognized familiar red hair. Arobynn was grinning and soon, Aelin was too. “Arobynn?” She almost screamed. She wasn’t drunk enough to see people where they weren’t supposed to be. She didn’t wait for an answer, instead, she threw her arms around his neck and jumped into his arms. “I thought you couldn’t come?” She had invited him months ago, but he had told her he had important meetings that day in Doranelle.
“I moved my appointments,” he told her, putting her back on her feet. “I thought you’d like the surprise.”
“I do!” Gods, she was so happy. Over the last year, Arobynn had become a huge part of her life. They had dinner together twice every month, video calls on the weekend so she could share everything she wrote during the week.
But they didn’t only talk about each other’s work, they found out they had very similar tastes in music, movies, or books. They could go into heated debates about everything, but every time Arobynn was the one who made more sense. He once told her no one understood him as she did. Aelin hadn’t like the feeling it gave her, too close to what she felt around Sam but still different.
“I’m so happy you’re here,” she told him, a big smile on her face.
“You look exquisite tonight,” he told her and she chuckled. She knew she looked beautiful but it’s always nice when someone says it. She turned on herself, slightly swaying because of the alcohol but thankfully, Arobynn caught her before she could fall. She laughed very loudly at this, and Arobynn smiled with her.
“Someone already found the champagne.”
“My cousin stole a bottle of vodka for us, so we mixed it with the champagne,” Aelin said and she saw the man in front of him furrow his brows as he imagined the drink. “It tastes fucking disgusting, but I like what it does to my head.”
“I take it you’re having fun.”
“I do, Dorian tried to flirt with a woman twenty years older than him, it was so funny to watch.” She laughed as she recalled how blunt he had been and how she rejected him.
“Drink that,” Arobynn gestured to his drink. Aelin frowned, not quite sure what was in the drink.
“What is it?”
“You trust me?” He asked, and she nodded without hesitation. She hoped he didn’t think she accused him of putting drugs in the glass, she knew Arobynn was far a too respectable man to do so, she just had no idea what drink it was.
She went to take the drink from his hands but he tutted, shaking his head. “Turn around,” he ordered. Well, she was confused but who was she to refuse him?
She turned so her back was to him and she felt him coming closer to her, his front touching her. One of his hands took her chin in hand and titled it slighting higher and the next thing she knew, he guided his drink to her lips.
Fuck, she didn’t know what was in this drink but it burned her throat. She went to turn her head but Arobynn kept her face in place. “Come on, you know you can drink everything.” He encouraged her. She didn’t want to disappoint him so she closed her eyes and swallowed everything, again and again, and again.
When she was done, Aelin was out of breath. Arobynn stayed behind her, his hands settling low on her waist as Aelin tried to watch her breath. After a few seconds, she laughed, throwing her head back so it fell on his shoulder as he softly chuckled. “I’m going to be so drunk.”
She turned her head to the side to see him already watching her and slowly she lost her smile. She could have sworn she saw heat in his eyes, but she was probably mistaken with all the alcohol she drank tonight. “Do you know how much I care for you?” Arobynn asked and Aelin only nodded. “If you ever need anything, call me. Not someone else, call me. You cannot guarantee someone will stay in your life, but I will.”
She wondered why he was telling her this, but when she thought about it, if she ever was in trouble, she would go to him. Her parents were only her parents in name, they did nothing for her, but Arobynn had always been there.
“I left you a little something in your room,” Arobynn told her and she smiled. She loved gifts. She didn’t know how he found her room since he never went there but he probably just asked the staff.
“Ace?” Sam interrupted them and Aelin got out of Arobynn’s touch as if it was burning her. Sam didn’t trust Arobynn, they had enough fights about it for him to be clear about his thoughts on her mentor.
Her boyfriend frowned at Arobynn, but the man seemed unphased. “I’ve been looking for you,” Sam told her and Aelin quietly apologized, joining his side to take him in her arms. He kissed her but pulled back, frowning probably because of the taste in her mouth. She shook her head and smiled at him, but it did nothing to put him at ease.
“Happy birthday, Aelin,” Arobynn said, bending to kiss her cheek before walking away, probably going to find her dad.
“What did he want?” Sam asked.
“He surprised me,” She said, but Sam’s face was still hard. “Hey,” he told him, forcing him to tear his gaze away from her mentor’s back. “You caught me.” She winked and he laughed, and then kissed her like she had been waiting for him to do.
-------------------------------------------------
Okay, Aelin had promised there wouldn’t be drugs tonight. She had promised Aedion it would be a chill night, without any problems, but she didn’t say anything about alcohol. That’s how she ended up in front of Dorian, both of them waiting for their friends to finish pouring their drinks so they could do a race. The principle was simple, the one who finished their six shots the fastest won. They had played these games many times when they were teenagers, Aelin always won. Even if they hadn't played in years Aelin was sure she would win again.
“You’re going to be so humiliated,” Aelin taunted Dorian.
“Who will you go cry to when I win?”
Aelin only rolled her eyes, he was so confident in himself she wanted to laugh. Her eyes settled on silver hair and green eyes. Rowan was standing in one corner of the kitchen, his arms crossed on his chest and his eyes fixed on her. She only winked at him then looked back at Dorian, hoping the fake confidence wouldn’t let him see how much his gaze affected her.
She had come back yesterday from her uncle’s house, less frightened at the possibility of someone else entering her life. They hadn’t talked since the tattoo shop, but it was good for them. As long as there wasn’t yelling it meant things were okay.
It was weird to have him here tonight, but she liked the knowledge that his eyes never left her.
“Okay, you can start in five, four, three, two…” Lysandra dragged the countdown for dramatic purposes. “Now!”
Aelin didn’t waste time and went straight to the first shot. One by one she drowned them, ignoring the burn in her throat and the disgusting taste in her mouth. She didn’t look at Dorian, keeping her focus on her own task.
She slammed the last shot loudly on the table, throwing her arms in the air when she saw Dorian only drinking his last one. She’d have fun rubbing her win in Dorian’s face for months. She jumped on herself, taking Lysandra in her arms. Her friend was laughing loudly at her, but Aelin didn’t care.
“Take a water break for an hour, will you?” Lysandra told her, still smiling at Aelin’s enthusiasm. Aelin nodded in a certain way Lysandra knew she wouldn’t listen to her advice.
Fenrys came to her side and pulled her by the arm, urging her to come dancing with him and it didn’t take much convincing for her to do so.
Aelin’s favorite song was playing and she had no shame singing the lyrics at the top of her lungs, getting overly emotional over the dancefloor. She was ridiculous but who cared? She was turning twenty, leaving an entire decade behind her. Hell, she had barely survived the last ten years, how was she going to survive the next one?
Soon, Dorian, Chaol, and Lysandra joined them. Aelin laughed, danced, smiled, and sang but after a while, her eyes automatically tried to find silver hair. He was here, had moved from the kitchen to the living room, and was in a corner. This time he had a cup in hand as he talked to Lorcan, but his eyes were still on her. On instinct, she smiled at him. A small smile that she knew he could see, but he didn’t return the gesture. Instead, he nodded.
Well, now she felt kind of stupid. Why had she done that? Yes, they had talked. Yes, he had admitted worrying for her but it didn’t mean they were friends, right?
She had been holding on to the hope to have a friend who knew most of the truth and who still would be there for her, and stupidly she had thought Rowan Whitethorn would be this friend.
Or she had drunk too much, was worrying too much about something stupid. Gods, he just nodded, Aelin. Put yourself together.
Aelin felt Dorian’s arms around her tense as he stopped dancing. She turned her head toward him and he was stoic, so were Chaol and Lysandra. All of their eyes were fixed on the door. When Aelin went to turn around and see what was troubling her friends, Dorian’s grip tightened. “What is it?”
“Nothing,” he told her, the most charming fake smile displayed on his face. She might have thought it was genuine if she hadn’t spent her childhood watching him perfect it. “Let’s go eat something.”
Aelin stayed on her feet even when he tried to drag her to the kitchen. Her eyes found Rowan’s and he was frowning, noticing the change in everyone’s attitude around her.
When Dorian turned his head toward Chaol, probably communicating in that silent way of their, Aelin took advantage of his distraction to turn around.
Her eyes found what her friends had seen and her entire body froze. Flashes of memories were coming back to her mind, memories she wanted to bury as deep as possible. “What the hell is he doing here?”
“Aelin, we’ll kick him out. Please, go away,” Dorian asked her, taking her hand in his but she didn’t care. With more strength, she thought she has she tore away from his grip and started walking toward the door pushing everyone on her way. She heard her friend swearing, following her.
“Get out of here.” She said or screamed when she finally facing the man who had ruined many things in her life.
“Aelin!” Archer Flynn said a huge smile on his face. He spread his arms and walked towards her as if he wanted to hug her. Was he out of his mind? “It’s been so long.”
Aelin slapped his hands away from her, Dorian coming by her side, a hand on her hip as if it would prevent her from beating Archer up.
“What are you doing here?”
“It’s your birthday, isn’t it? I transferred last semester so when people on campus talked about your party… I thought I would say “Hi” to an old friend.” He grinned, sliding his arms around a brunette’s shoulder. Great, he even brought a girlfriend.
“What makes you think you would be welcome here?” He couldn’t be that oblivious, right?
“Come on, you’re not still mad about the last time, are you? It was more than two years ago! It was all some harmless fun.” He said as if nothing serious had happened that night. “I think you need to relax,” He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small bag with white powder inside, Aelin's heart stopped. “I brought your favorite.” He winked.
“You dick!” Lysandra said.
Dorian snatched the bag from Archer's hands, yelling at him. Aelin couldn't hear him, all her attention was on the bag in Dorian's hands. It’d be so easy to take it and fall back in her old habits.
It’d be so easy to take it and forget her pain, instead of drowning it in alcohol like she was doing. Her birthday was so full of painful memories she couldn’t do it without help. She had very few memories of her eighteen birthday, passed out on Arobynn’s couch, drunk and high. She had no desire to reproduce the same thing today, but it’d be so much easier than fighting.
Aelin came back to reality when Dorian squeezed her hip. She didn’t know how much she missed but Archer was still here, his face lost all the amusement it had before. “Seriously, if anyone is to blame for what happened when you left my house that night, it’s you. It’s all on you.”
Those words set her off, instinctively, she punched Archer in the face. She didn’t expect the small brunette next to Archer to be the one fighting her back.
And here she was, at her birthday, having a physical fight with a girl whose name was still unknown to her, in true Aelin fashion.
The girl hit her nose, but Aelin hit hers too so at least they’re even. She was too drunk to know what she was doing exactly, but she knew she put all her heart into it.
Someone grabbed her around the waist and got her away from the fight, even if Aelin was kicking the air. “Calm down,” someone murmured in her ear and she relaxed at the voice. The man let her back on her feet but turned around to face her. Rowan’s face was the expression of worry as he took her head between his hands and scanned her body with his eyes. “Shit, you’re bleeding,” he said, touching right under her nose. “We’re gonna clean that up, okay?” Aelin nodded and when she was preparing to walk, Rowan grabbed the back of her knees and carried her, her head resting on his shoulder and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
------------------------------
“Are you going to tell me what this was about?” Rowan asked, looking in the cupboards in search of material to clean his wounds. “Who was he?”
Aelin shrugged and he threw her a look, knowing she was full of shit right now. She was sitting on the sink, legs parted so Rowan could stand between them. Her golden dress was riding dangerously high but she didn’t pay attention to it. He came to face her, wet cloth in hand, and started wiping the blood from her face.
“When I was seventeen, I got invited to a party. My parents were home for once and had forbidden me to go, which in Aelin’s language meant I had to go just to piss them off.” Rowan nodded, urging her to continue. “I had that rule that I couldn’t take drugs if I wasn’t with someone I entirely trust. Only two people fit in this, Dorian and… Well, we don’t care. But point was that I went alone, but it wasn’t a problem because I was trying to get sober. At least from drugs,” she specified.
Aelin winced when Rowan touched her nose, but she kept going. “I was drinking and having fun with Archer and some other friends when I started not feeling well. I was feeling so drunk when I only had one drink, and I didn’t know where I was. It was minutes later that I understood what happened. I had been drugged.”
Rowan’s hands abruptly stopped, his hard eyes fixed on hers. His hand clenched around the piece of cloth he was using to clean her, she knew he was working hard not to show what was going on inside him. “Did he-”
“No.” She stopped him right away. “No one did anything. I called a friend, and he came picking me up.”
Rowan seemed to relax at that. She was sure he was ready to go beat Archer up if her answer had been different. The thought gave her a slight smile.
“What did he mean when he talked about what happened when you left his house?”
Well, what a way to make her lose her smile. “I don’t want to talk about that.” Her voice left no room for question and he only nodded, going back to her face.
For a moment, they stayed in silence, Rowan trying to clean her face without hurting her and then checked if her nose was broken or not. Thank gods, it wasn’t.
“Have you ever been in love?” She asked him.
“Why the question?” His voice was tight, but not more than it had been since he brought her into their bathroom.
Aelin shrugged. “You saw me naked and you know more about me than anyone in this house. I think it is fair for me to want to know you.”
He let out a long breath but answered eventually. “Yes. Once.” He didn’t give her more than this so Aelin decided to pry, she was good at this.
“Was it Lorcan?” She asked, a brow raised and a wry smile. Rowan’s hands stopped working on her and his eyes landed on hers.
“Lor-can?” He articulated each syllable, making sure he was saying the right name. Aelin only nodded, brows raised waiting for the answer. “Why would you think it was Lorcan?”
A shrug. “When I was sixteen, Aedion came home and told us all about how two of his friends hooked up together at a party. You, and Lorcan. And I saw you two sneak out at one party or two since I moved into the city, too.”
Hell, for months Aelin had thought Rowan was gay and she had imagined him checking her out every time he thought she wasn’t looking.
Rowan barked a laugh, a sound she had never heard him do before. It was so contagious Aelin started to chuckle too, even if she didn’t know why he was laughing.
“No, it wasn’t him.”
“I wouldn’t judge!” She raised her hands in the air, showing her innocence. “He is a jerk but I’ll admit, he has a nice ass.” Rowan kept laughing, shaking his head as he left the piece of cloth on the counter. His hands fell on both sides of her, his thumbs brushing her tights. “Come on, stop laughing at me.”
“I’m not,” he said, still laughing. Her cheeks started to hurt, not used to her smiling so widely. She frowned, not believing him. “Okay, maybe I am.”
She shook her head and slowly, his laugher calmed down. “Lyria,” He told her, confiding in her. She nodded, giving him a soft smile. She wouldn’t ask, she was okay with prying for a name but if he didn’t speak about it first, then Aelin wouldn’t do it. “Have you?”
Brown hair, mischief in both eyes, a smile that could light up a whole room. She nodded, sure her smile was turning sad. “Sam.”
It was Rowan’s turn to nod and thankfully, he didn’t ask either. One of his hands came to play with the ends on her hair, the small gesture making her want to cry.
“He brought you coke, didn’t he?”
Aelin nodded, avoiding his gaze. He took her chin between his fingers and forced her to look at him. “Did you want to take it?”
“Yeah.” She breathed, relieved to see no judgment in his eyes.
“Then I’m proud of you for not doing it.”
Proud of her.
No one had ever told her they were proud of her. Tears shone in her eyes, it was too late for them not to stream down her face. He used his thumb to wipe them still no judgment on his face. He didn’t think she was pathetic for crying.
“If you don’t want to answer tell me to fuck off but-” He swallowed. “How did you started drugs?”
It was a hard question, she didn’t have lots of memories of that night because of the substance. But when she looked at Rowan, she knew she could tell him.
---------
Aelin was late, and she hated it. “I’m sorry,” she apologized, sitting in the chair in front of Arobynn. He was wearing a three-piece suit, very classy. Aelin’s face fell apart, even more, when she saw the anger he tried to hide.
“You look very good,” He complimented her, his eyes roaming over the part he could see of her dress. He had bought it for her, it was what he left in her room yesterday. The box was on her bed, a little piece of paper on top of the dress. Wear this tomorrow. 8p.m. The guild. Don’t tell anyone.
It was Arobynn’s favorite restaurant, the one he always took her to. Sam asked what it was, and Aelin hesitated. She didn’t know why Arobynn didn’t want anyone to know, but he probably had his reasons. So Aelin lied for the first time in her life to Sam, telling him the dress came from her cousin Galan and he wanted to meet her tomorrow. She felt guilty about how Sam hadn’t seemed to question it.
Dinner went normally, but Aelin couldn’t focus and the man sitting in front of her seemed to notice that. “Just tell me what it is.”
“Nothing.”
“You’re the world’s worst liar.” She wasn’t sure about that, but if Arobynn said so…
“I found something in my dad’s office.” She said, and he raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue. “I was looking for my passport. I wanted to sneak out to Velaris with Sam, just to spend some time together. But I didn’t find my papers. Instead, I found this.” She said,
rummaging in his pocket. She turned her head around to make sure no one was looking at them, once she was sure of their privacy, she took out the small bag filled with white powder and placed it on Arobynn's plate.
Arobynn eyes the bag and chuckled. Was he out of his mind? “It’s not funny!” she whisper shouted.
“Coke is what troubles you so much, Aelin? You’re being dramatic.”
“I’m being dramatic? My dad made me promise I would never get into drugs, all of that to do it himself? It’s betrayal.”
Was she dramatic? She didn’t think so, but maybe… No, she was allowed to be hurt when her father went behind her back. Did he know how drugs were dangerous? Hell, he had been an athlete, he had to know.
“What are we doing to do, then?” Arobynn asked, pocketing the bag. Good, she didn’t want to see it anymore. We, never you or me but always we. He had promised to never leave her.
A frown. “What do you mean?”
“Here’s another lesson, Aelin. In our world, if you want people to respect you, you won’t do it by being a perfectly decent person. The only way to gain respect in our world is either fear or vengeance. Which one do you choose?”
She shook her head. “I’m not like that.”
“Then you’ll have to change. You are both a Galathynius and an Ashryver, and you are considered as a Hamel, too. You’re basically royalty. You cannot let people disrespect you, so, be my guest. Vengeance or Fear.”
“Vengeance.” She said, a second later. Her inside voice had been screaming at her to do so for hours, she just admitted it now.
Arobynn’s smile was nothing short of feral. “Good girl.”
She smiled at his approval, maybe it didn’t make her a bad person to want people to have a taste of their own medicine. “What do we do?” We, because Aelin couldn’t do it without his wicked mind.
“Come to a party with me after this.”
It took seconds for everything to connect in her mind. “You want me to do drugs.”
“I want you to take your father’s cocaine. I want you to go back home and show him how you are, just so he understands what you took. And I want you to accidentally let down the half-empty bag where he’s going to find it.”
“He’s going to kill me.”
“He won’t. He’ll feel too fucking guilty that you took his coke to get high, he’ll stay quiet and he’ll feel how you feel right now.”
It was a good idea… But… “Why can’t I just pretend to take it? I could throw half of it in the toilet.”
“Do you know how much it costs?” He asked, smirking. “It’s so much fun to be high, you’ll see.”
“I promised.”
“You promised to a hypocrite, what’s the value of your promise after this?” She didn’t know… “Aelin, trust me. I wouldn’t put you in any danger. Remember? Everything I do is for you.”
“Okay,” she breathed. His eyes light up at this, she was happy to make him happy. “But let’s do it now before I change my mind.”
Arobynn smirked before getting up, catching her hand at the same time and leading her toward the bathroom.
---------
“He gave you drugs?”
“He helped me.” She defended him, even years after.
“No, he did not, Aelin. You were a child.”
“I stopped being a child the moment the media wrote articles on how my boobs were growing at fourteen. And if I didn’t lose my childhood then, I did the moment the radio made a bet on who between Chaol Westfall and Dorian Havillard would pop my cherry on my sixteen birthday.” She snapped. Rowan looked at loss for words. “Listen…” She started, taking a deep breath. “I was an adult, at least in my head. The only person who treated me that way was Arobynn.”
“Aelin do you realize you’re not helping? Do you realize how fucked up it is, how fucked up he is?”
“Don’t say that about him,” she shook her head repeatedly, chin quivering. “He was the only one protecting me. He sued the media for me, he made people silent about my mistakes. He gave me everything I have. Do. Not. Speak. About. Him. That. Way.”
“You don’t understand-”
“No, you don’t understand!” She said, voice breaking as tears streamed down her face. “He is the only one who understands me. Everything he does is for my own good. The drugs, the… Everything is for my good.”
Pain flashed on Rowan’s face but it was gone as soon as it appeared. He nodded, taking her in his arms. She clung to him, her fists tightening their grip on his shirt as she cried, her head buried in his neck.
He stroke her back staying silent as she calmed down. She hated how he could accuse Arobynn of such things, he did everything for her. He promised it and she believed him. No matter how much of an asshole he was to other people and sometimes to her, he did everything for her own good. He had his problems, she cannot blame him for it. She just didn’t understand, it was on her, was her fault.
When her tears stopped flowing over her cheeks, she let him go, soon regretting how safe she felt in his arms.
“I want to trust you, Rowan.” She really did, he knew more than anyone.
“What can I do to prove you I’m trustworthy?”
“Nothing, it’s work I have to do on myself.” And she would do it because she wanted that friendship with him, with the man who saw ugly parts of her and didn’t leave her.
“I want to trust you too.”
“How can you know you can trust me?” Maybe he had a miracle solution, and if so she’d really like him to share.
“I can’t. But I can either stay alone in my world like I did for the last ten years or I can take the risk.” He used his hands to wipe off the tears. “I’d like to take the risk with you, Aelin, if it’s okay with you.”
She nodded strongly. “I’d like to take the risk with you, too.”

Youngbin
Tumblr media
Youngbin is the leader
So his inner leader comes out as soon as the idea of making a surprise gift for your birthday crosses his mind
Will have absolutely everything planned
And will freak out and stress if anything gets out of the perfect schedule he has organized
Insert stressed Youngbin meme
Has all the members threatened just in case they think about telling you a single detail about the gift
Controls himself quite a lot when you ask him 9383774 times a day about the gift (not surprising at all, I mean, he has to deal with Dawon everyday 🤪 JK)
PLUS
Controls himself quite well when you do aegyo in one of your tries of getting some information
Which is quite surprising because the kid C A N ' T resist your cuteness
Will punch a pillow afterwards in anger because he couldn't do anything about your aegyo
"Why did you have to born so late in the month that I have to suffer all of this before giving you my gift??"
Inseong
Tumblr media
A bit messier than Youngbin but still controls the situation pretty well
Would start speaking English out of the blue when he gets nervous if you ask too much about the gift
Unlike Youngbin, instead of threatening the members to not tell you the surprise, he decides to not even tell them
So the surprise is a surprise for everyone
Until that damn day when he forgot it in the practice room after picking it up from the store
Dawon found it
And asked you if you knew what it was
The boy is sweating like he has been running a marathon as soon as he sees Dawon walking in with your gift in his hands
Stress level: Youngbin
Stutters while talking as he tries to find a good excuse
But he fails
"Istg I'd kill you if it wasn't illegal."
Jaeyoon
Tumblr media
Oh boi
Can you see that huge smile in the pic?
Well
He'll have one even bigger plastered on his charming face as soon as he gets the idea of giving you a surprise gift
He finds hard to hide his emotions from you
Literally smiling 24/7 no matter what
Like you can be watching the saddest movie ever that he will be still smiling because he's still thinking about the gift
At some point it makes you kind of creeped out because of his behavior
Even Youngbin has asked you if he was in some kind of drug or something
"I just can't wait for you to see what I have prepared."
Dawon
Tumblr media
Oh boi x2
NERVOUS AF
Like he will be literally trembling whenever you were around
LOUD AF
He's always loud but now he's even more
Tries to hide his emotions by looking hyped
At some point, just like with Jaeyoon, Youngbin might ask you if he was under some kind of effects of drugs
Because yes, he's T O O loud
Tho he could keep the secret for 2 days 👏🏻
Give him an applause and praise him because oh lord it was so damn hard for him
Ends up spoiling the surprise by his own self when you were having a casual conversation
You didn't even asked about it
You didn't even remember your birthday was a d few days later
"Can I stop being so damn stupid?"
Rowoon
Tumblr media
Pretty chill
Controls the situations perfectly
But unlike Inseong and Youngbin, he has nothing scheduled or plotted
Hasn't threatened the members either
A laid back kid
Wants to surprise you but won't freak out if you found out the surprise before he could give it to you
BUT
Will enjoy teasing you a lot
He knows how much you like surprises and he takes a lot of advantage of that knowledge
Maybe a bit too much but it's okay, it's Rowoon who we're talking about 🙂
Will make random and nonsense questions to see if he could tease you more about the surprise
Probably ends up spoiling the surprise himself while giving you unwanted hints
"This is your fault, you shouldn't have been listening to what I said like the other 5647 times."
Zuho
Tumblr media
Quiet af
And when I say quiet I mean Q U I E T
Complete silence
No words coming out from his mouth in the next week
The boy is too afraid of spoiling the surprise
And if his hyung's have ever taught him something (specially Dawon and Rowoon) it is that staying in silence was the best thing he could do in situations like that
We all know how cold and intimidating Zuho can be
And that cold side we can sometimes see in him really comes out when it comes to hiding something from you
Always for good reasons
The boy is dying inside because he cannot share with you something 😭
Will communicate with you through texts and cute little notes
And you would tease him because it feels like you're a teenager receiving cringey love letters
Will probably keep quiet even after giving you the surprise not even knowing why
"Stop laughing at me. This is the only way I have for not spoiling anything."
Yoo Taeyang
Tumblr media
Relaxed on the outside
Dying in the inside
He's like a perfect mix of everyone else
Will hide the surprise but at the same time will struggle a lot with hiding something from you
So he will talk less but at the same time will act hyped from time to time to hide his excitement about the gift
And then he will go back to his normal self like literally nothing happened
Somehow scares you because he has really weird and sudden change of emotions
You start joking about him being worst than you when you're on those days when you are a bit more sensitive
Notices that he's acting way too weird and starts freaking out thinking that you caught him
Will ask for advice to Youngbin who will gladly prepare a full schedule and the things he has to say if you asked about the gift
Youngbin once again saved his member's ass, congratulations
The only one managing to give you the surprise correctly along with Youngbin
Taeyang 🤝 Youngbin
Hwiyoung
Tumblr media
Similar with Zuho
We all know how shy Hwiyoung can sometimes be and this is not an exception
Why is he shy about giving you a surprise? I have no idea, go ask him
Good luck with getting him to talk with you about anything related with your birthday
Not even about the color you should use to decorate the house
Not even the flavor of the fanta you will be serving
B L U S H E S
Get ready for blushy Hwi for the next week 🤧
Makes random and sudden moves of clinginess that makes you suspect that something's wrong
"Can't I hug my baby in public?"
Chani
Tumblr media
The kid is nervous af and has no idea of how to control his emotions
Definitely will look all cool whenever you're around (he's an actor after all)
But as soon as you disappear his mental breakdown storms
Too many questions clouds his mind about how the hell is he going to hide something from you
Feels so bad about lying to you whenever you asked what he has been doing and he couldn't say he was preparing your gift
Also gets frustrated when you do aegyo to win some hints and he can't react, just like Youngbin
At some point, the pressure is way too much
He can't stand it anymore
And when you ask him for the 648388 time about his day
He ends up telling you about the surprise that is not a surprise anymore
"How could I keep lying to you?? Do you know how bad I felt??" please protect this baby 😭

Today is, officially, the last day of 2020 - so it's literally just in time that I'm getting to @aosrecweek's amazing challenge. But that does go to show the nature of this crazy year a little bit, right? Time has just been INSANE, and I honestly cannot believe it's so close to over.
That said, I want to put it out there that everyone - absolutely everyone - who created something in this mad year, is a SUPERHERO. Like. We could have hidden away in dark corners, curled into little balls, and lost touch with our creativity entirely - but instead, we made some of the most fantastic content I have ever seen. And, excuse the language, but that is fucking amazing, of each and every single one of us. We're bloody INCREDIBLE, you guys. We really are.
Now, the rules of this challenge dictate that I've got to start with some of my own things, then repeat with the same number of creations by other people. So I'm going to do that, and I apologise for the sheer length (and self-plug-iness) of what is about to follow - but, bloody incredible, remember? I really mean that. 💜💜💜
My Own:
you could call me babe for the weekend - 19k of Spideychelle being oblivious, mutually pining IDIOTS while being snowed in. And, you know, fake dating. (This thing was SO MUCH FUN to write and though, yeah, it got completely out of control, as evidenced by the 19k, I still really love it.)
'tis the damn season - my first attempt at writing a multi-chap, and, yeah, it only has one chapter as of now, but I really love said chapter. Basically, it's Daisy and Mackelena being friends, and honestly just the BEST friends - I adore the style I managed to achieve in this thing. Plus, the Skimmons I have planned up next is going to be da bomb.
the closest thing - Philindaisy plus fake family. Also; amusement parks. And for a fangirl like me - well, it was pretty much a dream come true to write!
oh valley of plenty - in this fic, I basically told myself, so AoS won't give us Huntingbird in the finale? Fine. I'll just do it myself then - in the fluffiest way possible. And that's exactly what I did - making them, and their kids, be best friends in Perthshire.
maybe life should be about more - a very angsty Skimmons and Daisy-centric AU, focusing on the internalised homophobia Daisy has experienced through her life, and shaking it off (and eventually, y'know, getting together with Jemma.)
and it's dark in a cold december (but i've got you to keep me warm) - Fitzsimmons just make such a supreme pairing for hurt/comfort, what with how insanely well they understand each other and care about each other, so I'm really glad for the Fitzsimmons Secret Santa giving me the chance to write this! Basically, this follows our science duo through a stressful mission on Christmas Eve (so yes, it's a mission fic!!) and realising that the two of them can do anything together.
july second - ahhh, one of my personal favourites to write! Daisy birthday surprise fluff will always be top-notch for me, especially for all the team-as-family fluff you can add in, especially especially that this is set in Staticquake times! Also, it's from Hunter's point of view, which will forever be the most insanely fun thing to write, I do think.
i just wanna be with you - man, I'm such a big royal fan, so getting the chance to write a modern royalty AU for my OTP was nothing short of amazing!! This is Princess Daisy and her fiancée Lincoln Campbell at their official engagement interview
see the line where the skye meets the sea - shameless season 1 bby Bus Kids fluff, featuring movie nights, singalongs and... so much fluff your teeth will rot. Also I'm really freaking proud of the pun in the title okay
'cause all that you are is all that i'll ever need - Huntingbird waking up together fluff (because, fight me, Huntingbird in their sweet moments is one of the sweetest things you will ever get to read or write.) This is also my, fluffy, take on the origin of the Franny's Saloon keychain.
we love you, we love you (and we hope you love we too) - aha, my first polyship fic! Also my first try at some actually fancy HTML formatting (forever thanks to Kat for explaining.) Both of these things combined to form a fic that even I think is ridiculously fluffy and funny, and kinda amazing, at that.
and man I don't know where the time goes (but it sure goes fast like that) - Another Bus Kids movie night fic, but this one set post-season 7, and reflecting on how far they've come. A little bit more hurt/comfort-y than it's pure fluff prequel, but still super fluffy and soft. And, of course, with a happy ending.
she shares my dreams, i hope that someday, i'll share her home - snowy Fitzsimmons fluff, complete with them falling in love at the Winter Olympics, as you do.
then you walked in and my heart went boom - 16k of Dekesy for the wife, and remarkable for that, because literally a month ago from this, I hated Dekesy with my entire soul. Then I started reading Kat's fics, and, well, fell in love with them... so much so that I wrote sixteen thousand words of enemies-to-friends-to-lovers, bed sharing holiday fluff for them.
a love like that - a Fitzsimmons Cinderella AU, featuring my two favourite science babies, in true science bby style, falling in love over science and how stupid the whole courting thing is. Also, Daisy makes a brief appearance, and she's the freaking best.
ever after - ah, probably the one single fic I'm proudest of. A post-season 7 Daisy character study focusing on her emotional rollercoaster re: losing her family/things never being the same again, which just achieves... an emotional level that I have never managed to replicate again. I was full-on sobbing while writing it, and, guys, it also part-holds the Closest To Making Kat Cry prize.
blue - Daisy character study spanning snapshots of seven seasons, and before - but tied together by something blue in every moment. Researching for this, and finding all the blue moments, was very interesting, and immensely satisfying, especially since all the moments where a little bit of blue was present actually combine to chronicle Daisy's journey on the show remarkably well.
who is that girl I see - the one time I decided to write straight angst, and straight angst with no happy ending. Melinda May post-Bahrain, folks.
take my hand, take my whole life too - aww, the first thing I wrote that I really and truly loved. A Staticquake and Fitzsimmons Actors AU, featuring a proposal on set and INCREDIBLE amounts of fluff and softness.
hold out your hand, 'cause friends will be friends - the wife's favourite, and, as second fics go, pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. It's a Soulmates AU for Staticquake and Mackelena, with the focus being on DaisyMack friendship, and lots of denial, angst, and guilt about finding their soulmates. (They figure it out eventually, don't worry - it's me, of course I made them happy.)
Fitzsimmons + Fake Dating moodboard - Fake dating will always be FAB, and picturing it out in a moodboard - especially for my clueless bby best friends in love - was the best, and super satisfying.
Staticquake + Orange moodboard - One of the cooler ideas I had for Trick or Treat (which I still have not finished, heaven help me) was to make a series of moodboards for my OTP plus different colours. This orange one is just so light, and cheerful, and happy, and honestly I kinda adore it.
This Philindaisy + Family Moodboard - making moodboards can be insanely frustrating when you just can't find the photo that fits exactly right. With this one, however, I found all the pics I needed pretty insanely fast, and, better, the whole thing just worked, and really nicely so, too.
This Bus Kids + Baking Cookies moodboard - there's absolutely NO faults to be found with tiny, adorable Skye, Fitz and Jemma concocting choc chip cookies - but I'm actually doing a tiny cheat here, because, cute as my moodboard here is, the accompanying fic by my love @eowima is the SWEETEST and best thing you could ever wish for!!!
This Daisy Johnson Appreciation Week Photoset - Day 3 of Daisy Johnson Appreciation Week focused on an emotion, and I picked confidence and power, because honestly, it's nothing short of amazing how confident and powerful our gorgeous girl has become.
This Daisy Johnson Appreciation Week Photoset - One of the times I wish I could gif, because this quote about struggling though never giving up just suits Daisy perfectly. The photos I found are cool, though, and I mean, it's Daisy, so that's already absolutely fabulous.
Other People's:
I managed to find twenty-six of my own things that I liked enough to put up there (because, yes, I'm that big a dork, 26 things for me being 26 is the way to go :D) Anyway, now that gives me the amazing chance to spotlight twenty-six of my favourite creations by my FANTASTIC mutuals! 😍
To start, my wife - Kat said I couldn't put everything she's ever written on here, so, ugh, I guess I'll just do my top five then. *grumbling* Everything by Kat is on here in spirit, though!!
Chasing Cars (even after the story ends) by @aleksandrachaev - the epic Dekesy roadtrip AU and incredible Daisy character study itself, which, I do believe, finishes today!! Words aren't enough to describe how freaking AMAZING this thing is, or how spectacularly well characterised. Just: if you haven't read this yet, you are missing out. You will laugh, you will groan, you will want to wrap Daisy in a very tight hug, and you will probably cry, too. This fic just has it all, really!
there goes the maddest man this town has ever seen by @aleksandrachaev - the post-season 7 Deke-crashes-the-Framework-Zoom-call fic I didn't know I needed (but spent the next two weeks rereading every single night.) It is absolutely INCREDIBLE, with all the Deke & Team feels we missed in the final outro scene, and honestly just the most fantastic writing. I cannot recommend it enough!
To Box It Up And Start Again (everything must go) by @aleksandrachaev - bloody hell, this BROKE me. Deke never really got to say goodbye in canon, but Kat gave him the chance to do it here. And, my freaking GOODNESS, she made it so incredibly bittersweet and heart-shattering. 10/10
i am a leaf on the wind by @aleksandrachaev - a little bit of a stretched-out, reflective moment in the season 7 finale. As Daisy lingers on the edge of death, she reflects on all the lives she could have had - and, man, what a study in bittersweetness!! This entire fic is utterly incredible, and something I think all Daisy fans should read.
Falling Into Place by @aleksandrachaev - here's a tiny cheat from me (sorry, babes, lmao) because technically this isn't one fic, but a series of three. Way too amazing to miss out on, though!! Set mid-season 7, this has the Chronicoms go after a young Mary Sue Poots to kill Quake before she can become a problem for them. They stop the Chronicoms, yes, but not without a TREMENDOUS dose of feels and hurt/comfort. There's also a wonderful little dose of Dekesy friendship, and then an adult adoption (!!) that honestly made my entire day to read. Actually, that's true for the entire series - I really canNOT yell about it enough!!
destroyer of worlds by @bobbimorseisbisexual - a study in incredible parallels between Jiaying's daughters. Utterly breathtakingly done, this will give you ALL the feels for this small and complex Inhuman family.
Muscle Memory by @robotgort and @bobbimorseisbisexual - a Huntingbird!! Bones!! AU!! And also a collaboration between two of the most fabulous Huntingbird authors in the fandom - honestly, what more can you ask for?! This will make you laugh, and gasp, and wince, and keep you guessing at each new plot twist (and also screaming at your screen for Hunter and Bobbi to get their acts together and TALK ABOUT IT.) In short: it's completely and utterly amazing, and I cannot, cannot recommend it enough!!
You Belong Among the Wildflowers by @libbyweasley - a freaking incredible Scis & Spies Regency AU! I only just started reading, but I was hooked all the way through, especially on the way Libby writes all four characters' complex relationships (and their attraction, and their history!) Everything about it is just completely stunning, and I for one cannot WAIT for these beautiful idiots to figure out they all belong together.
Family Snapshot by @tomatobookworm - if it's family fluff you're after, especially Staticquake family fluff, look no further! This tremendously soft and utterly amazing fic follows a day in the lives of a pregnant Daisy and her husband Lincoln, and their not-so-little family of Inhumans, both adopted and biological. There's also shopping with Grandma May, lots of feels, lots of shippiness, and just AMAZINGNESS all the way through!!
Best Day Ever by @loved-the-stars-too-fondly - Jemma and Daisy want to adopt a pet, and make a very special trip to Wisconsin to do it. Also, whether he knows who he is or not, Jemma has an important question to ask Cal - and just, AHHHH, everything about this is utterly stunning! For starters, Aubrey's writing is FANTASTIC, and the scene she sets is absolutely beautiful, and so very bittersweet. I was actually misting up a little with happy tears towards the end of this - really, I cannot recommend this enough, to any Skimmons fan.
so why don't we go somewhere only we know by @loved-the-stars-too-fondly - more Skimmons (platonic this time, though), more hurt/comfort, and, yes, again, more absolutely INCREDIBLE writing. This one is canon compliant, following a shaken Jemma struggling to sleep after Maveth, and how Daisy finds a way to help her out. Incredibly sweet, tender and BEAUTIFULLY written, this one was an instant favourite the moment I read it!
Unspoken by @anxiouslynumbme - a birthday fic for yours truly, and, honestly, one of the most STUNNING Staticquake introspectives I've read. It follows Daisy and Lincoln in a beautifully tender missing moment in season 3, with them both realising their feelings, and just... AHHHHHHHH, everything about it is utterly incredible!! I cannot, cannot recommend this gem of a fic enough
the thing about water droplets and ruffled hair by @que-mint-tea - here's another fic that proves, once and for all, how good Kat's Dekesy is, because it managed to convert T to write some Dekesy smut. And, oh my GOSH, what Dekesy smut - so goshdarn angsty, but so FANTASTICALLY characterised and written that it leaves you more than a little breathless, and gaping at your screen. The first chapter initially left us on the most HORRIFIC cliffhanger, but then T fixed it, and it's just... this thing is really a whole new level of emotional writing, raw and gripping and intensely perfect for both of these characters. My haw still drops whenever I think of this thing, and how utterly AMAZING it was, so yeah. Fic rec!!!
beautiful stranger, there you are by @justanalto - I do believe I still owe Serena a long and very gushy comment on this thing, because, MAN, does it ever deserve that!! Pipsy and fake dating, with the most HILARIOUSLY incredible writing, plot and characterisation, and honestly just a giddy "askhdfkhsfh" whenever I think back to how much I enjoyed it. Yup, it was that good.
Jumping to conclusions by @eowima - a very special one, because it marks my love Océane's first venture into writing AoS fic! It's an AU of 1x06 (the Fitzsimmons episode of s1) where Fitz does actually jump out of the plane to save Jemma. Realisations of feelings, and some of the most genuinely FANTASTIC Fitz characterisation I've read in a while, follow - and, yup, I was shouting at my screen for them just to get together already. Amazing stuff, really!!
Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit by @eowima - okay, this. This. Another gift for me, and one that I will probably treasure forEVER, because it is just?? so?? utterly?? perfect?? Just for starters, the title is a Hamilton reference - and then the theme of Hamilton references continues into the fic itself, I'm delighted to say. There's also the most BEAUTIFUL, playful Skimmons friendship, and teasing, and then of course the bet about who can make out with their crush first... Staticquake & Fitzsimmons perfection. And all rendered in Océane's delightful, best-thing-ever-to-read writing!! I'm going into a giddy keyboard smash just THINKING about this, so yeah, cannot recommend it enough.
lullabies and clear blue skies by @springmagpies and @bobbimorseisbisexual - okay, I never thought I'd catch myself shipping FitzBobbi, let alone shipping it this hard, but... wow. Maggie and Al teamed up to completely blow me away, and MELT MY WHOLE ENTIRE HEART with the sheer cuteness of this!! It features Fitz, Bobbi and adopting two daughters, and it's just the most tender, beautiful development through that little family - I love it so, so much.
We made all the wrong choices by @browneyedgenius - the winner of the AoS Angst War 2020, how could I not include this one? It is such a well-deserved win, though, whoa - I was sobbing, full-on sobbing, at least twice while reading. It follows the season 5 team through the events of the time-loop, after they failed to save the world - and, oh my gosh, it ripped my heart right out of my chest, but beautifully so. Everything about this fic just hits so hard, and it's written so well - yeah, really a most AMAZINGLY deserved win, for an utterly SHATTERINGLY incredible fic.
I threw stones at the stars (but the whole sky fell) by @nazezdha321 - this is Z showing us all how to write a backstory for a minor character, and write it so well that everyone's hearts break all over again when she dies. This one is about Victoria Hand, and it builds a stirring and profound childhood for her, also making her rise through the ranks of SHIELD and just her entire character mean so much more. Really, fic-wise, this is goals, and I take my hat off to you, Z, 1000%, for writing it.
in which the universe is put together by @besidemethewholedamntime - Rebecca's emotional writing, particularly Fitzsimmons' emotions, is incomparable, and she proves it all over again in this fic. If follows Fitz and Jemma before, after and during the bloodwork, and I just... wow, honestly. The emotion!! And the characterisation!! Absolutely stunning, and honestly all I could wish for in a we-had-time fic.
Agents of SHIELD Season 8 by @egumal - THIS. This, this, this, oh my gosh - as fix-it fics go, this has to be the most spectacular one I have ever read. What it does is find a way - a potentially canon compliant way, too - to bring back Lincoln Campbell, and reunite Staticquake. Basically: just about as season 7 finishes, the Astro Ambassadors get an unexpected visitor from another timeline, who asks them to come help out against Hive. Case in point, Daisy meets her lost love again (... but he has no idea who she is) and also has to relive the Fallen Agent drama. It all gets even more complicated when Kora restores Lincoln's memories, and Daisy meets the full team Deke has assembled around him in the 33 years (for him) that they've been apart... in short, this is one of the most thorough, well-written and downright SHOCKING plot-twist-wise fics that you will ever read, and honestly, saying "I can't recommend it enough" is an understatement. This thing is thd BEST, plain and simple!
Black Roses aren't real (but you and I are) by @ohwriteiforgot - ahhhh, a fic that will always have an incredibly special place in my heart, because it introduced me to one of my best fandom friends. The main focus is on Clintasha, it's true, but it's also a crossover with AoS in the sense that Clint was adopted by Coulson and May. Also, Daisy is his little sister, and their bond is gold. Also - there's Staticquake!! And flower shops!! And rivals to friends to lovers!! All I'm going to say is, what more can you ask for?!
A book to shield my story by @maybebrilliant - Staticquake High School AU, ahhhhhhhh!! There are only two chapters out so far, but the way this is shaping up is making my DAY - with Daisy as the new girl who meets Lincoln and his group of friends, and, though her foster parents are absolutely shit, starts to find actual happiness in a school for the first time in her life. Also - THE REFERENCES. Guys. I'm crazy for those, and in this book, so are my favourite dorks, Daisy and Lincoln - and let me tell you, it's nothing short of the best thing ever.
This AoS Finale Gif Edit by @heysteverogers - AoS really has been the most INCREDIBLE journey through the years, but what's really made it special is the company - and that's summed up perfectly in this gorgeous gifset. Also, the graphics on this are just, ahhhh, stunning - I'm in awe, and I've spent very long periods of time just looking at this thing in a state of heart-eyes.
This AoS Finale Gif Edit by @jemannesimms - combining Auld Lang Syne and the final scenes of my favourite show was a raw emotional - but utterly brilliant experience - for me. It's just so absolutely beautiful, and perfectly suited to the team, and their goodbyes!! Breathtaking editing work here, too.
This Daisy as Peter Parker and May as Tony Stark moodboard by @agentsofcomedyandchaos - ahhhh, a crossover of two of my favourite fandoms!! And what a lovely one, too - the colour scheme, quotes, and just the whole FEEL of this is absolutely genius, and I am guilty of being inspired by way too many fic ideas by it. Stunning stuff!!
And... whoa, that was long, but I really do feel that we deserve a bit of a proper pat on the back after creating such magical content in such a messed up year. So that's the note I'm going to leave you with for 2020, my friends: hell-year or no, look at the absolute beauty we were still able to create!! We really are freaking amazing, guys.

THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND, MR LEE SEOKMIN omg yes :DDDD
there are lots of rambles and pictures and links so. under the cut! :D
First! Before I ramble! This is a very cute interview he did for Get In The Car in July of last year! almost 11 minutes of him being a whole entire sun, bless okay now onwards to my rambles!
His birth name is Lee Seokmin, stage name is DK / Dokyeom. Birthday is February 18, 1997 (and fun fact, he shares a birthday with Vernon! same day, different year. they are the 218 bros c: picture below is from their birthday livestream this year!) He's a member of the Vocal Unit and is main vocal, a member of BSS (BooSeokSoon, a subunit with Seungkwan, DK, and Hoshi / i also believe he's leader of BSS!), and member of svt's 97 line with Mingyu and THE8/Xu Minghao (HEY BUDDY from Semicolon is a 97 line song!). and he has an older sister (three years older i believe)!
Tumblr media
He debuted as a musical actor in 2019 in the musical Xcalibur in the lead role as King Arthur! He was also on King of Masked Singer as "Baby Demon" and made it to the third round 💪
He's VERY LOUD LOLOLOL this is a fun story, but they were at a music show during Don't Wanna Cry era and BAP was in the waiting room next to them. DK was practicing his part for the live ("If I cry now, I may never see you again") over and over stupid early in the morning and Daehyun from BAP sent them a voice message going "STOP CRYING!!!!!" also I think I read somewhere that he collects headphones? and he has a really big collection of them!
Dokyeom is a PURE RAY OF SUNSHINE, just absolute sunshine in a bottle, he is the most adorable 🥺 the members call him pure, he's just a huge sweetheart 😭 during the online concert they had in January, there was a part during encore where they played a recording of fans singing svt's special song "us, again" to them, and Dokyeom just CRIED so much, Dino and DK were the only ones who cried, sweet boys, they made me cry 😭
He loves dogs!!! He loves doggos so much 😭💘 this video compilation is svt with dogs, but 70% of it is DK, it's so freaking cute i wanna perish, he loves doggos and doggos love HIM
his favorite food is PIZZA. the boy LOVES PIZZA. he had his own pizza-making vlive, he talks about pizza all the time, he just loves pizza. in US/English interviews he has taken to introducing himself as "Pizza Boy" and/or that time in that one Buzzfeed interview when he goes "HI MY FAVORITE FOOD IS PIZZA" and forgets to introduce himself, LOVE HIM. (both of those clips are in previous linked video!!) (and did you notice his birthday cake in that picture was PIZZA SHAPED)
more fun facts, Jeonghan recently adopted a pet rock (named Doljjong) and the rest of the members were like. teasing him mercilessly for it. but dokyeom, the SUNSHINE BEAM OF A HUMAN BEING, went to visit it and took pictures with it, and then BOUGHT HIS OWN PET ROCK, he named it Dodol, i love him
pictured here are DK with Jeonghan's pet rock and then the first picture of his own pet rock, Dodol
Tumblr media
i now include this picture of Jeonghan visiting Dodol specifically bc you can see DK keeps Dodol on a shelf with a collection of?? little fake dogs/dog figurines?? which is somehow SO DOKYEOM and also very endearing, i told you he loves doggos 😭💘
Tumblr media
OH also to go along with him being LOUD, he's also a bit of a scaredy cat 😂 (no judgement, me TOO) the members can and have referenced this one exact moment several times since it's happened, but it's iconic, you must see (clip set to start at beginning of the sequence for context, but the exact moment is ~6:40!) See also: Going Seventeen 2020 ep 28 The Tag #2 (dk and s.coups going into a ~haunted house~ together, that's full chaos 😂)
also apparently bad at video games, see Going Seventeen 2020 ep 29/30 Christmas In August #1 & #2 lol
Hoshi started his whole "horanghae" agenda two years ago as a special way to say "i like you"/"i love you" to fans and now every member has their own version and Dokyeom's is "doahae!"
^^^^^ ilu from the vocal team ❤️
He's also one of the members who posts on weverse a fair amount and his posts are either ridiculous and funny or like. stUPIDLY SWEET and so endearing 😭💘
like for example this one time he posted a couple of pics and was like "my hair is couch-colored........"
Tumblr media
bless his face
also this boy is so fine and fOR WHAT 😭 i cry about this. a lot.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Some miscellaneous DK videos i will link bc i can!!! : DK being an archery master at ISAC 2019 and only hitting 10pts and also knocking out the bullseye camera // that time Jeonghan went live the same time as him and he sulked about it // DK's high tone rap is legendary
And some DK covers/OST songs! She Didn't Love Me / Missed Connections / The Little Prince
And lastly, random, but he has a Spotify playlist of favorite songs you can listen to ^^
ANYWAY THERE'S SOME INFO ABOUT RESIDENT SUNSHINE BEAN DOKYEOM, SORRY FOR ME JUST RANTING ALL THIS INFORMATION AT YOU BUT. HE'S A DARLIN'.

An end to some things (like TV shows)
Hello again! it's been a long time since we last had a chat, hasn't it? Winter break has come and gone and I'm back at uni for spring semester so I thought I would give you a bit of a life update instead of doing something about the massive pile of homework I have on my desk despite it being week 2.
I finished my classes and finals just before my birthday (June 21 if anyone's interested). I got to keep my A in one of my classes, but the other I only just passed (accidentally doing my lab report on the wrong topic and only realising four days before it was due didn't help, nor did the IT department at my uni losing half of my final due to a computer glitch. I got to re take it though!) but as my gran always says: que sera sera.
I tried to use my winter break to try and get my life back together, but ultimately it was easier said than done.
We lost Benny a few days after my birthday. In a weird, roundabout way it was almost right - the dog we've had since I was a kid passing away a few days after I turned 21 and the official End of Childhood™. He had an amazing life though, and we can't ask for more than that.
I finished Castlevania on Netflix and now I have no idea what to watch next (at least until the Rondo/SotN spin off drops) so if anyone can rec me shows with a similar vibe, that'd be great. The ending was absolutely amazing and
*spoiler alert for the end of season 4*
now I kind of want a spin off about Trevor's adventures in the Infinite Corridor, Doctor Who style! I don't know, I just think it would be interesting to see something as arc and character-heavy as Castlevania done in the same sort of Monster-Of-The-Week style as Doctor Who. (Also I didn't think I'd cry when Lenore died bc I didn't really like her but the scene was so well done that I actually did cry a little and now its lives rent free in my head)
*end of spoilers*
We got Gracie from the pound a few weeks ago and while I'll admit it took a bit of time to get used to having a dog again, we can't imagine life without her now! She's still only a puppy so she has loads of energy and when she's not running around the backyard like a madwoman she's either cuddling up to one of us and forgetting that she's not tiny anymore or watching the tv (I left the tv on racing.com by accident while I was cleaning out my closet and went to get another trash bag for things to donate and I saw her watching the horses being led around the mounting yard. No I am not joking).Tldr: I would die for her.
And that concludes the life update! Shout out to you if you're still reading this and regular posting will be back in the next few days! have a pic of Miss Gracie for your troubles!

The Accidental Crush of Sansa Stark and the recurring annoyance that followed- Chapter 2 pt.1
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"Sansa? If you could date any boy counselors here, who would you date?" Shireen, an adorable little camper asked as she walked all of them to canoeing. Sansa paused. Was her developing attraction that obvious? One of the golden staff rules was that there were to be no summer romances or if there was one, to be discreet to the point leadership didn't have any suspicions.
"She'd date Harry of course! Have you seen the way he looks at her?!" Beth giggled. "They would be like Ariel and...Philip!"
"Philip is Aurora's prince, Beth. Ariel's prince is Eric remember?" Alys shook her head at Beth. "I think Sansa would be happiest with Sam!"
"Sam likes Gilly, he blushes every time he's around her," Osha spoke up and the girls around her nodded in agreement.
"Sansa should go out with Dickon, he's so handsome!" Minisa sighed dreamily while Lyanna rolled her eyes.
"Can't you all see Sansa likes...." Lyanna began before Sansa interrupted her. "Girls, I appreciate you all comparing me to a Disney princess and wishing for my happiness. But I assure you, I don't feel that way toward anyone here."
Most of the girls seemed convinced by her little white lie and forgot about their question within seconds. All except for Lyanna. Lyanna stood behind while the other girls went down to the canoeing river. She tilted her head at Sansa in curiosity and Sansa took a deep breath.
"What is it Lyanna?"
"I saw you look at Jon at the pool yesterday."
"Lyanna, I had sunglasses on. I was looking at everyone in the pool." Sansa scoffed, hoping the defiant little camper would drop it. But Lyanna raised her chin with a sly smile on her face.
"Maybe that's true. But I saw you look at him a couple of times today at breakfast and you didn't have sunglasses then. You get a big smile on your face when he's around like the Disney princesses do."
Perhaps I should tone it down a bit.
Sansa took a moment to collect herself and sighed. "Lyanna, Jon is my coworker and friend. I smile when I see all my coworkers..."
"It's different with Jon. That's the way my mom looked at my dad before he died." Lyanna sadly smiled and quickly ran off to join her fellow campers, while Sansa stood in silence.
——————————-
"Girls, can I ask you something?" Sansa asked as she turned up the volume to skype her friends during break time. Margaery was in the process of making an anniversary gift for Theon, Dany was painting her nails so they could be ready for her date night with Daario, Missandei was painting a portrait for Grey, and Brienne was ordering a knife for Jaime's birthday.
"Sure, Sansa!" They all sang in unison.
"Am I being too obvious if one of my campers can tell who I am attracted to?" Sansa spoke quickly, hoping they missed it. But judging by how they were all looking at each other as if they were in the Brady Bunch credits, they did.
"OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Missandei shouted.
"I bet it's Harry! Margaery surmised.
"I think it's Dickon. Did you see the pics Sansa posted that tagged him in? They'd be absolutely perfect together!" Dany sighed happily.
"Well, are you going to tell us who it is?" Brienne rose an eyebrow.
"It's the guy I told you all about that pissed me off a few weeks ago. We've patched things up and he's really...cool." Sansa blushed and saw their collective smiles.
"You never told us Mr. Broody's name, what is it?" Margaery inquired.
"His name is Jon, Jon Snow," Sansa responded, and immediately Dany spat out her drink. "Jon Snow?! You like him?!"
"Yeah. Do you know him Dany?" Sansa asked, confused out of her mind.
"He's my nephew," Dany responded and Margaery's eyes widened. "Dany, how on earth do you have a nephew the same age as you?"
"Remember my older brother Rhaegar? Jon is his whoops kid after he had an affair while Elia was in a coma." Dany shrugged.
"Oh yeah! But you've never mentioned him before, why is that?" Missandei asked in curiosity.
"I didn't know he existed until he came to live with Rhaegar and Elia four years ago. He's hasn't been around much because he was either going to school or working at camp." Dany answered and Brienne leaned forward. "Dany, what were you going to add about Jon earlier when Sansa mentioned that she liked him?"
"He's a great guy...but Sansa, he has a girlfriend. Her name is Lysa Tully. He's been dating her for years. I am truly sorry, Sansa." Dany's face was full of sadness.
"Dany, don't be sorry! I'm glad you told me before I made a fool of myself. Now I can be more cognizant of my actions." Sansa put her hands in a heart shape and Dany laughed as she responded with heart hands back.
"But damn, I wish it were different. It would be so cool to have you as my sis...niece in law. Seven hells, that's so weird...."Dany began before all the girls cackled in unison.
Before long, Margaery narrowed her eyes. That typically meant she was vying for information. "Dany, give us the deets on Lysa."
"My brother and Elia think she's a character," Dany grimaced.
"That sounds like how my grandmother would describe Mr. Baelish and Mr.Varys," Margaery hummed.
"Rhaenys tolerates her and Aegon can't stand to be in the same room as her. My experience made me want to slap her, honestly."
"What happened?" Brienne inquired and Dany sighed. "She made Daario feel uncomfortable because he's not from "here," whatever "here" is supposed to mean."
"Oh. She's one of those types of people... ew does that mean Jon is as well???" Missandei rose an eyebrow.
"No, not by a long shot. Jon is super passionate about social issues and has always been involved in some way or another. He and Lysa got into an argument after she made Daario feel uncomfortable. She ended up apologizing, though I didn't think it was truly genuine. I think it was only to show Jon that she was "improving." Dany shrugged, while Brienne, Margaery, and Missandei collectively sighed. Sansa bit the inside of her cheek.
Of course, he has a girlfriend. He's good looking and has a kind soul. Who was I kidding? Well, maybe I can try to be his friend at least. Yes. That's what I'll do and my feelings will go away. They have before and they will now.
After making her decision, Sansa spoke up.
"Well ladies, enough about me and my sad crush life. Tell me about all your individual plans with your guys!!!!!!"
———————————-
"Sansa, you should go! I'm sure it'll be loads of fun!" Her co-counselor Mya exclaimed.
The leadership team decided last minute to have counselor late-night swim and Sansa internally debated if she really wanted to go.
If I am trying to friendzone my crush, shouldn't I try to limit the times I see him wet and shirtless?
"I'm really tired, Mya. I just want to take a hot shower, it's been a really long day."
It wasn't necessarily a bad excuse. It had been a long day. It hadn't even been five minutes after Sansa ended her skype call with her friends when she heard Dickon radio for her help. Two of the girls got into a fight during canoeing and poor Beth cried the entire time after she fell backward in the river. The next skill area didn't fare well either after Minisa got bit by a brown recluse and had to go to the hospital. Then later in the day, the porch swing broke off at the merchandise store and Lyanna sprained her ankle. Sansa had gotten well acquainted with nurse Thoros. Because she worked so well with the little ones, she typically made calls throughout the week but never this many in one week.
"That's true but Sansa, you've been such a trooper today. You deserve a break." Mya reasoned.
"You were there too, Mya. I wouldn't have survived today without you, honestly. In fact, why don't you go tonight and I'll go tomorrow?" Sansa responded.
"Are you sure, Sansa?"
"Absolutely."
"Aww thanks, Sansa." Mya smiled and hugged Sansa tight for a few seconds before going to her room in the cabin to get a bathing suit.
"Oh by the way Mya, I'd wear the blue one. Harry blushes a little when you wear it." Sansa looked at her nails while Mya's mouth slightly dropped.
"How did you know?! I thought I was hiding it well."
"You are! I'm the only one who can really tell because I'm a big sucker for enemies to lovers so I can tell by the little things."
"...Harry blushed a little when I wore it last?"
"Yeah and I'm pretty sure he was going to say something before one of his campers jumped in the pool with his stuffed kittens." Sansa and Mya began chuckling as they remembered the sweet little boy who wanted to prove cats weren't afraid of water.
"Well thank you for the heads up, Sansa." Mya began to leave before leaning back in the doorway. "Should I wear my braids up or down?"
"Do whatever makes you feel confident."
"I'm going to wear them down. Harry Hardyng, here I come." Mya sang as she left the cabin into the hall to go change.
"Sansa?" a soft whisper woke her up and she could see Mya's outline by the bed. Sansa rose up on her elbow and she could tell Mya wanted to talk out in the hall. She followed her out quietly and then sat against the wall.
"Mya, how was it?" Sansa rose an eyebrow and a deep blush appeared on Mya's brown skin.
"It was wonderful. We... we kissed under the water. It was magical." Mya sighed happily and Sansa's heart leaped with joy.
"Did anyone see you two?"
"Surprisingly and thankfully, no. Everyone was distracted by Sam and Gilly. He finally asked her out!"
"Sounds like a good night for everyone it seems." Sansa smiled and closed her eyes for just a moment before Mya spoke up.
"Do you like anyone Sansa?" Sansa opened her eyes to see Mya have an eyebrow raised.
"Erm... not really." Sansa lied and Mya scoffed as she began redoing her braids.
"Are you sure? Because I'm pretty sure I saw you staring at your former pool duty partner a bit the other day. Is that why you switched?"
"For one, for some reason, I thought Jon was going tonight before I remembered he and Harry are co's this week. Two, it doesn't matter how I feel."
"Why doesn't it matter, Sansa?"
"Because he has a girlfriend." Sansa's voice cracked a little and Mya's face filled with sorrow.
"I'm sorry I brought it up, Sansa."
"It's okay."
"What's your game plan?"
"My game plan? I want to become his friend and try to friendzone him."
"Friendzone your crush, hmm. I've never heard of that before. How are you going to do it?"
"Ask him about his girlfriend, what he likes, try to steer from anything super personal, keep a healthy distance, and....I'll talk about guys I find attractive."
"Besides Jon, who else would you want to go on a date with at camp?"
"Not really." Sansa shrugged.
"Any guys back home?"
"Um sort of I guess? If you count teammates/friends Robb brings home during breaks. His is name is Pyp. He's really cool and kind." Sansa smiled.
"Ooh tell me more!" Mya rested her face on her hands as the girls did during storytime before bed.
"He's majoring in Civil Engineering. He plays left wing on the hockey team at White Harbor, he's pretty good. I wouldn't be surprised if he was drafted in the WHL. He's pretty funny and a movie buff."
"Why didn't you go on a date with him then?"
"I was scared after everything that went down with Waymar, that I was a little hesitant to date."
"What did happen with Waymar?" Mya questioned.
"I made a fool out myself for him. I wore different clothes, dyed my hair black, and I even started going by my middle name to seem "cooler" to him. I..." Sansa shuddered. "I gave him special favors in the hopes, he just so he'd finally see me. One day, he texted me to meet up with him at his house and I went over thinking that he was going to ask me to be his girlfriend. I got there and the door was wide open. I thought it was a bit strange and I went in, worried if Waymar was okay when I heard noises coming from his bedroom. I opened the door and caught him having sex with my former best friend Myranda. I closed the door and ran down the stairs. Waymar and Myranda came down right before I left. Waymar forgot he texted me and tried to apologize while Myranda just smirked at me. I asked her 'How could you?' and she said 'You're the biggest fool to ever think you had a shot with Waymar and I only became friends with you to get to him along with your money. Who would anyone ever want to date someone like you? You're a stupid and ugly little girl. Oh, you're crying now. How sad? No one's ever had the guts to tell you that? You're sasquatch with no curves or boobs."
Sansa looked down at the crown, while hot tears streamed down her face. Mya gathered her in her arms as Sansa sobbed.
"You know what Myranda said about you isn't true right? You're beautiful on the inside and out. Hell, I wish I was as tall and skinny as you." Mya whispered while Sansa shook her head.
"Mya, you're beautiful."
"So are you! Being tall sounds great, I don't like always having to crane my neck to look at Harry when we're bantering. The pool is probably one of the few kisses where he won't have to practically bend down to kiss me. Don't get me started on being curvy and having to find jeans that don't feel like they're not suffocating my thighs and butt while having a huge awkward gap in the back." Mya ranted. "Don't be hard on yourself, Sansa. You're amazing, you need to believe that. The girls love you, I love you, your other friends and family love you, and everyone at camp does. You need to love yourself."
"Thank you, Mya. You're right, I do need to work on loving myself." Sansa smiled.
"That's the spirit!" Mya high fived her and then they heard the door open from Mya's room to see Beth's face full of tears.
"What's wrong Beth? Did you have a nightmare?" Mya asked, her voice full of concern.
"No, I..." Beth's lip wobbled. "Miss Mya, I woke up and I realized I don't have any more underwear for the rest of the week."
"How many did you bring Beth?" Sansa asked as Beth sat down in between her and Mya.
"My brother packed me six."
Only six for Sunday through Friday? I'd pack at least twelve or fourteen... Wait! It's only Tuesday?!
"But it's only Tuesday Beth, how did you go through six?" Mya's eyes widened.
"I... I peed myself a bit on Sunday when I was waiting for the bathroom after I took my shower, so I had to change. Monday, I got my unicorn undies wet from the shower after I dropped them. I asked Lyanna to get some out of my bag. Today, after I fell in the water I got scared I was going to get leeches so I changed into my last pair. I just keep getting bad luck!" Beth started to tear up and an idea popped up in Sansa's mind.
"Beth, are all your dirty clothes in a bag?" Sansa asked.
Beth nodded and Sansa sighed in relief.
"Okay, I'm going to wash all of your dirty clothes in the washer and you'll have your five pairs clean again."
"Won't people judge me for re-wearing the same undies again?"
"No, it's none of their business and besides sometimes I wear the same undies when I don't take a shower for a day if I didn't sweat." Sansa shrugged.
"Same." Mya agreed and Beth looked at the both of them in amazement.
"Thank you so much, Miss Sansa and Miss Mya!" Beth hugged them both and went back into Mya's room.
"What. A. Night," Mya exclaimed and Sansa couldn't help but agree.
"Drinking coffee right before lunch?" Jon asked as Sansa filled her coffee mug.
"Yep. I'm exhausted, I had to wash one of my girls' clothes because she didn't pack enough underwear. She was upset and it broke my heart. Yesterday just wasn't her day."
"Beth right? She's a sweetheart." Jon smiled before he took a sip of his tea.
"She definitely is." Sansa nodded in agreement.
"Is she your favorite this week?"
"We as counselors aren't supposed to have favorites." Sansa attempted to be stern as Jon rose an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes. Sansa began laughing so hard that her nose snorted and coffee spilled down her nose.
She grabbed a napkin and dabbed at her nose, refusing to make eye contact with him.
Seven hells, why must I embarrass myself in front of hot guys??? Why can't my laugh be sweet and adorable???
"I like your laugh, it's cute. You should do it more often." Jon's deep voice broke into her reverie and she lifted her eyes to see a small grin on his face.
"You should make more dramatic faces and jokes then," Sansa smiled back and Jon laughed a little.
"Noted." Jon nodded and then his eyebrows knitted together. "I just realized you didn't go to last night's late-night."
"Nope, besides doing Beth's laundry, I took a hot shower and talked to Mya out in the hall for a bit."
"Oh, Mya? Harry had heart eyes when he came back to the cabin last night. About damn time something happened."
"Mr. Jon? Did you just curse on campgrounds?" Sansa dramatically exclaimed and Jon chuckled as he shook his head.
"I sure did, Miss Sansa. Am I going to lose points now?"
