The System Watches

Split

🐀: okay so obviously we've heard a lot about this movie but we wanted to watch it as a system.

💫: with being switchy comes the advantage of commenting on movies and tv shows!

🐀: we've got drinks-

📓: and a poptart..

💫: and those here in the headspace right now are Brooks💫, Sylas🥽, Elliot📓, Finley🦈, Maxi🎧, and Rat🐀!

🐀: Can we start the movie now??

...

🐀: seems relatively normal so far??

📓: ooh speaking to the camera!!

🥽: I dont get the appeal of alcohol

📓: why is he suddenly bald? Are we seeing through his eyes or theirs??

🐀: Bro I think they are different guys?

💫: tea is better than alcohol

🐀📓: SHHH

💠: what is going on in here?

🐀: movie, hush.

💠: ah, okay my apologies. *sits down to watch*

🐀: so are they all evil alters or?

...

🐀: his yells of pain is literally dubbed over wtf?? like his mouth is open but the sound is clearly a mouth closed sound lmao

...

🐀: does this bitch cassie have past kidnapping trauma??

🦈: insensitive much?

🐀: its my job 😜

...

🐀: is this his therapist?? who is she??

🥽: a switch definitely happened..

🐀: ah she is his therapist!!

🥽: ocd..

🥽: the system tried to get help, at least.

🥽: feminine alter, an introject maybe?

🐀: yeesh therapist lady has a lot of patients

🦈: ooh points for calling it DID and not MPD!! :D

...

🥽: Alters noticed so far; 4. Initial alter, Artist, Feminine, and OCD alter.

📓: >Movie timestamp: 22:46

🦈: fem alter is patricia! nice. :3

...

🐀: therapist sleeps with her files??? thats,, thats a little weird tbh. work-life balance lady, leave your work stuff... not in your bed. at least.

...

💫: oh, the child! hello hedwig!!!

🥽: 5 alters.

🐀: hgdhdj "i just ate a hotdog" i love this kid

🥽: "i stole the light from mr dennis", that sounds similar to our system's way of fronting where we have a sort of "light" where we stand to front. Honestly it sounds like these people really did their research!

🐀: damn I was expecting this to be a hate watch..

🐀: wait yo shit shes fucking gaslighting a kid!! wtf man!!! like sure youre in a life or deatch situation but its not cool to make a kid alter cry like that. not cool. accurate, but not cool.

...

Entire system: Chlorine???

🦈: a pool maybe??

🐀: *jumps* oh JEEZ bro

🥽: ocd alter is a protector..

🦈: ooh cute bra!

🎧: FINLEY

🦈: what, cant appreciate a cute bra??

🦈: oh shit shes really locked up now yeesh

...

🥽: okay this explanation of DID is a bit.. exaggerated.

🦈: .. therapist lady we are traumatized, not some sort of miracle supernatural being. we are TRAUMATIZED. yeesh.

🥽: Patricia, Hedwig, Barry, Dennis, and now added by the therapist we have Orwell, Jade, Samuel and Heinrich.

🐀: oof 23? thats gotta be fun

🥽: and she just said Kevin's body, but its assumed Barry is the host.

🥽: Dennis has OCD, so then the one I was labeling as OCD is likely just a germaphobe to an extreme extent.

🐀: wait both Dennis and Patricia are banned from fronting? Dennis bc obvious reason, but why Patty?

🥽: is Dennis germaphobe alter and just really good at blending? they seem like two different alters..

...

📓: they,, they check the cameras?? theres cameras to check??? I,, I don't like that,,

🐀: eh dont worry dude-

📓: More worried

🐀: yeesh aight.

...

💠: oh a new alter? I like this one, they seem nice :>

Entire system: GGSJSHFHAHAHA

🐀: why's the 9 yo tryna kiss her!!

🎧: bro thats so ridiculous hAH

🐀: this kid man this kid hdhsjdk

🐀: GSHJDJSK OMFG SHSHDJ

🐀: okay to give you a quick rundown of what happened on screen, he held his mouth open against hers, his eyes fluttered shut, he pulled away and said "you might be pregnant now". IF THAT ISN'T THE MOST 9 YO THING TO FUCKIN DO HSHDJSKDK

🎧: his constant use of etcetera xD

...

🐀: oh shit he was sexually assaulted as a teacher by some teenagers and that ruined his career,,, shit dude that suuucks.

🐀: dood okay this,, this sucks. this is. really real now. like. some of the shit therapist lady is going over with him makes sense. history of childhood abuse, likely sexual in nature, and being triggered by the teens forcing him to engage in a sexual act without his consent triggering up previously dormant alters, like yeesh dude i'm sorry so much bad has happened to ya. we protectors have it hard sometimes.

...

🥽: ..she can make the dormant host front by saying his full name? Curious...

...

Movie: *talking about dormant host* "He's very weak"

🦈🎧: ......

🐀: um, guys you okay? Do you two need a minute?

🦈: We're just. Just thinking about Cecils. It's been a while, ya know? They're weak too. And its been so long that they can't fully front anymore for any longer than 10 minutes without getting overwhelmed and exhausted.

🎧: Even Ash is getting that way too,,

🦈: I just wish it was easier to help them both. Like, I cohost and everything but I don't get that same feeling of being utterly drained like they do. They just have to carry that with no known reason why.

🐀: ...

🦈: sorry, I'm done. Back to the movie.

...

📓: Kevin's dad is the beast, that makes sense.

🥽: There's likely an introject alter hiding back there.

📓: Patricia and Dennis haven't met the beast.

🥽: but supposedly the others have, which means only those two were formed after his father left.

...

🍄: aw he has pet mice!! :D

📓: ... his "window" is a drawing...

🐀: thats kinda fuckin sad.

…

🦈: no..

🐀: fuck man. Shit. He really fucking did that to her.

👹: Humans are disgusting, vile beings.

💫: I'm so sorry Casey, I'm so sorry that you had to go through all this you sweet child. :(

🐀: god this is depressing.

🎀: I think thats just the alcohol you drank Rat! *eatting popcorn on Rat's lap*

🐀: 😭 thanks pom, you sweet little monster.

💫: 😭 Pompom you precious thing,,

🎀: yay sad time hugs!! :D

...

🥽: this therapist is really going above and beyond.

...

🐀: EATTING IMPURE YOUNG??? WHAT NOW

👹: mm tasty *thinking of chicken eggs*

🐀: ONI NO WRONG YOUNG

👹: ... oh :(

...

🥽: the switching between patricia and dennis is interesting.

...

👹: Don't like this "beast" character..

...

🐀: why didnt therapist lady say kevins name to bring him out?

🐀: oh shit how did his skin break the goddamn knife???? it looked like a nice knife too???

...

🐀: ayye barry's hat nice!!

...

🎧: OH NO,, ((their guts,,))

...

🐀: I'm sorry hE JUST BENT THE LOCK???

🐀: okay girl you have his name now dont be a dumbass say it immediately like you mean it

🎧: oh god, saying his full name triggers a ptsd attack,, I mean I guess good for those who need it to stop him from literally unaliving them, but yeesh bro I feel I feel. :/

🦈: their whole system is in total disarray right now,, half of them don't know how long they've been dormant or whats going on,, I feel so bad for them,,

...

🎧: good thing she knows how to use a shotgun.

🐀: i wanna see a flashback of her uncle again to see if he ever got what he deserved for messing with Casey tbh.

...

🐀: NO. FUCK. DAMMIT. HER DAD FUCKING DIED LEAVING HER WITH THE UNCLE. how many times?? How many times do you think he did it to her?? And she didn't have anyone to protect or help her anymore.

🐀: This movie is more sad than anything else. Sad and frustrating. Frustrating to watch this system become such a mess, sad to see what this poor girl has gone through only to be dealing with this shit. God I hate this movie. but in a bad hate way.

...

🥽: So he's preaching about how those without trauma are impure because they havent been torn apart by the world. I wonder if she'll mention her abuse to him, bc then she'd no longer be "impure" by his definition.

🦈: ,,she has scars from abuse, and he's seen them,,

🥽: this will likely affect the entire way she sees herself now. Her trauma has been the thing to save her and give her mercy and life at this moment.

🐀: she'll need hella therapy, but yeah. Maybe she'll see herself as worth more now. At least I hope.

...

🐀: THEY WERE UNDER A ZOO THE WHOLE TIME??????

...

🐀: oh no fuckin way shes going back to her uncle after this i hope she tells on him and goes with one of the families that lost their kids in this smh

...

🐀: okay so i know this is technically part of a series of movies so theres a bit at the end that I didn't get that I think I was supposed to have gotten.

...

🐀: it was okay. I can see why its decently rated, but also why it's hated. Theres definitely a lot of stigmatizing about DID in this, but truth told to me it seems like they actually did their research on DID. I get that its more interesting to tell a story about the DID person who goes batshit crazy with evil alters rather than the fairly boring and sad story of how it actually is.

🥽📓: We want to look more into DID represented in media (such as movies and tv shows) so if anyone has any suggestions let us know!

He did? Umm.. what happened exactly?

(referring to this post)

my 11th grade chemistry teacher had an associates degree in liberal arts.

you know how in virtually every class you’ve ever had since middle school, your teachers made a big stink about the syllabus? she didn’t have one. this was her first teaching job, which she got because of her length experience as a substitute, not by her licensing qualifications. we were, at first, excited to have her, because she was a “fun sub” and we were 17 years old and stupid as all shit. we were the “normal chem” class in a system where the only other options were “honors chem” which was filled with children who actually know how to study (or cheat) and have an air of proper student activity, and “AP Chem”, which is clear enough if you’ve been an american student in the last 15 years.

she followed the mcgraw hill chemistry book in order of chapters, despite the fact that our state standardized tests did several of the chapters out of order. ever notice how you’ll suddenly be looking at chapter 11 when just last week you were on chapter 5, then the next week you’re on chapter 8? standardized testing is the reason. anyways by asking my friends in other classes who had chemistry teachers of relative competence, i was able to discern which chapters i should focus on, and while she was distracted with literally watching youtube videos all period, I was turning around in my seat and walking across the classroom helping my friends and enemies with the packets. (she was a two-packets-a-week kinda teacher.)

yes i said enemies too. the people i hated, i hated because they were sons of bitches i wouldnt piss on to put out a fire. i hated them so dearly i used to pray to god that they would bump into me so i could throw myself into the concrete and split my forehead open and get them expelled due to the blood-clause of our “zero-tolerance policy”. two of the kids in my class had, only the previous year, attempted to set my hair on fire.

i hated the teacher more.

it gave me extreme pleasure to see her fume and clench her fists when a student would say “i need help” across the classroom and she would move to get up and they would say “oh not you miss, im waiting for vicky.” jesus christ the only time ive ever felt a comparable high was when i was at a halloween party in college where i was literally so zooted i couldn’t move.

it got worse over time, her getting more and more angry, my ego growing larger and larger. i was a huge bitch in high school, i really thought i was the smartest bitch in the room at any given moment. severe main character syndrome. imagine that kind of person actually being right for 45 minutes out of every day. can you even comprehend the kind of frustration that would create? in a room full of little sociopaths who dont give a shit about anything but getting this joke of a class over with so they can graduate? your first real teaching job and they look right past you, the teacher, to this annoying little shit whose grades are completely abysmal? how are they managing to learn anything from a child who can barely speak in front of more than 10 people? who turns cherry red in the face of literally every authority figure in the building except you? who can’t concentrate and stay still in one spot for more than five minutes? all of your other classes behave! they listen! they sit down and shut up and do the packets! so what fucking gives!!!

so you say “fine, since you all HATE ME so much i just won’t teach then!!!” on literally week fucking ten of teaching. and instead of prostrating themselves before you, begging you to like... point at transparencies and read directly from powerpoints i guess.

and they all collectively say “okay” and let the chipmunk child flutter between desks and help them memorize formulas and mnemonic devices and shit. surely her grades will suffer if she’s constantly dealing with other people and you’ll have justification that her horseshit is “distracting” and “a detriment to her studies”. she got bored gave up on that after two days after nothing changed.

then we did the midterm.

except at the end of the exam packet was something we never learned because again, she was going through the book chronologically. because i actually enjoyed the chem book (so much that i stole it when the year was up lmao), i knew the material.

it was about lewis dots/structures. i couldn’t tell you a damn thing about it today but in december 2010 i absolutely knew that shit. i didnt have too much of a problem with it in the exam, but the students who had gotten to that point were complaining and at first she pulled that “you should have been studying independently uwu” shit but the class was about to get loud during exam period so she shushed us and said that when we get to that point, just stop, and she’ll mark it correct during grading, no harm no foul just keep it quiet. one of the more confrontational students called horseshit and said theres no way we’re trusting that and there’s definitely no way anyone will keep an entire classroom cheating at the instruction of the teacher quiet.

i offered to teach it.

she scoffed, rolled eyes, said “sure fine but you can’t get your exam back” and i said “okay.” so when everyone was to the point in the exam, we piled them all on her desk and i used the whiteboard to briefly and quietly explain lewis dots, used the book examples and problems, and helped the other kids understand. there were a couple exam questions that were lifted straight from the book problems so i skipped those. while teaching i realized i had gotten a couple wrong which sucked :( it was an incredibly stupid experience overall, and no teacher worth the paper their certification is printed on would have allowed that to happen. and fucking yet.

anyways everyone but me got their exams back and finished it and many of us passed, only a few of them did particularly well.

discussing the chem exam with friends who also took the chem exam, many students found their anecdote about the lewis dots to be confounding, for you see, the exam we took was not, in fact, the midterm, but the god damned final.

she had us taking the fucking final because she didnt read the fucking folders which read “midterm” and “final exam” on them

she was reprimanded severely and we all had to take the exam on different days, in different classrooms, sitting very far apart. after that she hated me even more. like girl it was your fault lmao i am literally a teenager grow up lol. anyways you can imagine how much more fucking insufferable i became, knowing how miserable she was.

it all came to a head in february when some students were giggling quietly following a minor fuck up on her part regarding bellwork. they were making fun of her like “are you sure thats not tomorrows bellwork lol” and a friend next to me did the “hey i need help wait no miss not you sorry” thing and when i answered him, she solidly snapped. blah blah YOURE SOOOO DISTRACTING blah blah YOU THINK YOURE SOOOO SMART DONT YOU blah blah blah and she was like demanding i leave the room and shouting at the top of her lungs at me “ YOU POISON THE MINDS OF EVERY OTHER STUDENT HERE. YOU’RE POISONOUS VICTORIA, YOU’RE A VIRUS IN THIS CLASSROOM.”

i will never forget that line as long as i live. it was like crack to me. i moved to open the door to leave and the vp opened it first. he escorted me to the office and asked me what happened, then told me to keep my head down in class from now on, and that if i wanted to help my friends i should give them my number and help them out on our own time. i was like “bro thats really stupid” and he was like “thats all we can do right now but i promise we’re working on it”

i lasted the rest of the year giving smug smiles as we did packet after fucking packet for the rest of the year. they were all take-home work. i wasnt comfy giving my number to my enemies. the class camaraderie ended.

the final was altered. my class took a different final than the rest of the normal chem classes.

i started 12th grade and got a solid case of senioritis. i told that story to anyone who would listen. while it was happening, i obviously told my favorite teacher everything as it happened. when i mentioned it senior year he was like “oh yeah i forgot about her,

she was fired over the summer.”

#let me tell you bitch i SCREAMED......#anyways im not sorry this was long #its literally the only cool thing thats ever happened to or about me so shrugs #Anonymous

If you're comfortable, I'd love to hear some of the ways you realized you are a system. Im wondering about it myself, but none of the research I've done is helpful on what its like to be in a system, just what it looks like from the outside.

I wish it were that clear cut that I could say much about it XD It was a process and understanding that slowly developed between when we were 14 (6 years ago) up until like... probably less than a year ago. So I guess it took us 5 years after anything notably stood out to actually understand what things were and to make it even more difficult, I have very splotchy memory about that area.

I didn’t really “realize I was a system” ever to be honest - if you get what I mean. When I came to kinda know of this I didn’t really think of it as “systems” and I don’t think I even knew what a system was other than that I had stumbled upon some like.... median system explanation page cause a friend showed it to me and I was like “Oh I guess that makes sense” cause at the time I was like “Man its kind of scary sometimes when my body burns then I loose control of it and do weird shit”

So I was just like “I guess I have fragments of myself that live with my head and I guess it’s kinda normalish? Enough that there is a page explaining it” and I just kinda forgot about all that beyond it and was like “Yeah I got fragmented parts that exist in my head” and REALLY didn’t think much about it.

Like I probably should have went “Huh wait, I dont think most people have parts in their head” but I was really just like “Oh cool I guess, except for two that kinda scare me” and just I guess treated it like my maladaptive daydreaming. Pretty sure I thought it was just like... really intense roleplay or something XD

At a certain point our system went into major denial and communication went down so we “didn’t have alters” despite anyone from the outside being able to point it out in hindsight.

Then we went to therapy and our first issue made our untrained dissociative therapist go “bro that sounds like DID but I’m not sure and DID is pretty rare???” and we went “hahah yeah we faked it at one point hahaha” and went on with it and once again entirely ignored it / tried our hardest to not have DID because we “faked it”. Dissociation got in the way of therapy with that therapist at a certain point since he was ill equipt for complex trauma and dissociation

Then we went to college and I was like “Okay I didn’t get much of any progress in the last few months with that therapist because he couldn’t handle dissociation well so I need a dissociation therapist” - then we went to a therapist that specialized in complex trauma, adult PTSD, and dissociation

I explained “Hey I dissociate like a bitch and I need help” and he worked with us and I forgot HOW but I was like “Yeaaaah like.... I kind of... maybe... have people... in my head” because I really still felt bad cause I thought I was just trying to be quirky and fast forward a few weeks and it’s like

“You have DID and you could have mentioned that earlier” and me being like “I MEAN I GUESS BUT I DOUBTED THAT I DID.” Then proceed another year and I’m like “wait I think Im really not faking”

So like XD Thats REALLY informal of an explanation, but I never really I guess “discovered I was a system” as much as I was like.... found out I have DID? I dunno its weird.

I just kind of always had this “Oh yeah different masks, sometimes I can’t control the body, I forget a lot of things, oh and hey I think I met someone that lives in my head” that really just melded in with a lot of my old maladaptive daydreaming issues.

I never really had a “AH HA! I AM MULTIPLE!” as much as I was like “Oh I guess thats a thing some people have” followed by a “Oh shit wait I wasn’t just trying to be quirky and its a REAL mental health condition and not some tumblr fever dream?”

Cause I used to think (due to me coming from the ‘its called medians’ rather than ‘its called DID’) that having seperate parts was “tumblr culture” akin to otherkin, fictionkin, etc.

I dunno, I’m just kinda rambling XD Hope it was entertaining at least

Flutter.

SUMMARY: you never knew the reason why your heart always fluttered with the boy you had grown up with all your life.

PAIRING: jeno x fem!reader

GENRE: fluff! neighbor!jeno & bestfriend!jeno; friends to lovers au

WORDS: 2.3k.. like exactly 2.3k

WARNINGS: like. a speck of angst in the middle.

A/N: it kinda follows the american school system bc that’s the ... only school system i know LOL but alSO i usually write only soft hours aaaa but lets start off with my first fic with the one n only ... lee jeno hehe

Ever since you moved into your new neighborhood, only one person pops into your mind: Lee Jeno.

He was there when you first moved in, offering you a cookie his mom baked as you timidly clung on to your dad’s leg.

“Go on, sweetie. He’s going to be your future neighbor!”

Slowly approaching the long-limbed, yet small boy, he quickly took your hand in his and started to shake it. “Hello! My name’s Jeno. What’s your name?”

Little did you know that your encounter with Jeno would turn out to be the first of many, many other ones.

You had just turned six years old, and you were going to start your first day of first grade soon. Your mom insisted that you take the bus, calling it a way to “make new friends”, but being the introvert that you were, it was your worst nightmare. Lightly tugging at your backpack, your mom said, “Come on, sweetheart, you’ll be okay!” You held back tears, and pecked your mom on the cheek before stepping on the bus.

The bus driver gave you a kind smile, but that did nothing to ease your nervousness. You walked down the cramped aisle filled with legs that stuck out and glittery backpacks and looked for lone seats; instead, you spot your neighbor, Jeno. At the same time, he spots you too, and gives you one of his iconic crescent eye smiles.

“Come sit here, Y/N! We can be seat buddies for school!”

“O-o-okay!”

That was the first time Lee Jeno made your heart flutter.

You’re now twelve, but instead of your first day of first grade, it’s your first day of middle school. Jeno not only had found a new group of friends, but also became one of the biggest heartthrobs in the entire school. He had become good looking and was so tall that he towered over you at times. But still, he never forgot to hang out with you. He often came over to your house most nights to play games with you on your older brothers’ game consoles. He always went on ice cream runs with you and your mom, always yelling to his parents that “he’s off to get ice cream with Mrs. Y/L/N again!” Most importantly, he still rode the bus to and from school with you, insisting that he was your “eternal seat buddy”.

However, when you stepped on the bus this morning, he wasn’t there in your usual seats, so you ending up walking to your locker alone in the morning.

“I ... can’t ... get ... this ... stupid ... combi-”

All of a sudden, another pair of hands land on your lock, and you look up to find the one and only, Lee Jeno.

“I’m sorry that I was gone this morning ... what’s your combination? I’m sure I could open it.” Jeno says, while giving you another one of his genuine smiles.

Smiling at his genuine willingness to help, you say, “Trust me, Jeno. I might have a better chance at going to the office instead. My dad literally scribbled it down this morning and it could be passed off as a kid’s handwriting. Plus, what if you’re late for class?”

Jeno lets out a laugh and says, “Don’t worry about my classes! Can you read out the combination for me then?”

“I think it should be 29-10-35,” you hesitantly say, looking down at the crumpled piece of paper in your hands, attempting to decipher your dad’s rushed handwriting. Jeno questioningly looks at you and snatches the paper out of your hands to stick it up to the closest window, as if he believed the sunlight would help him read the messy, loopy handwriting better. Suddenly, he lets out a “Ha!” and hands you back the paper. Jeno turns back to the lock on your locker while whispering, “It’s actually 28,” Click. “19,” Click. “36.” Click.

With one swift motion, he was able to get both the lock in his hands and your locker door wide open. You glance at the nearest clock and it reads 7:58 AM, giving you two minutes before class starts.

“See? I told you I would open it on time. Now, hurry up and get your books! I don’t think all the girls in this school would be fond of you if you were to be late to homeroom with me.” Jeno says with a smirk before holding his hand out to you, ready to sprint to class with you hand-in-hand.

That cocky boy, you thought. Grabbing your textbook and slamming your locker shut, you stuck your lock back on and placed your hand on Jeno’s.

The moment Jeno whisked you away to homeroom with your hand in his is the second time he made your heart flutter.

The ripe age of sixteen has arrived, and your friendship with Jeno has altered in ways that you didn’t expect. For one, Jeno got his license earlier than most kids in the junior class as he had an earlier birthday while your birthday was stuck in the summer, so you weren’t able to get it as quickly. So instead of riding the bus every morning with Jeno, he swore that he would take you to school every morning, which of course, was approved by your parents immediately. Two, junior year was taking a toll on the both of you, so your nightly visits through each other’s windows were shortened to once a week. However, today you had promised Jeno that you would meet him at his house for an AP Biology test study session.

You knocked on his door three times, one time with a pause, proceeded by two quick ones. With this knock, Jeno is sure that you’re the one on the other side of the door, and not another girl from school asking for his number.

“Ah! Y/N! Ready to grind on some bio?”

Looking back up into his eyes, you lose balance, not realizing that you blanked out and didn’t even notice the door opening. You lean forward a little in an attempt to regain your balance, but your knees lock instead. Jeno steadies you by holding onto your waist, and says, “You okay?” You nod almost instantly, cheeks reddening out of embarrassment.

You take off your shoes before entering Jeno’s house and you’re instantly greeted by his mom. “Oh! Y/N! Jeno didn’t tell me you were coming,” she says while wiping off her hands with a towel, “I would’ve made you guys my neighborhood famous cookies!” She winks jokingly and you respond, “Your cookies are just too good, Mrs. Lee. I was all over them when you brought them over last week!” with a smile as Mrs. Lee approaches you for a hug.

“Hey! Don’t think I’ll let you steal her heart from me!”

Before you can give Mrs. Lee a nice “I’m-glad-to-see-you-again” hug, you turn around to find Jeno leaning against the stairs. Realizing he saw the entire encounter, you smirk at him, saying, “And what if I do? Your mom is just so sweet!” You can hear Mrs. Lee laugh behind you as Jeno walks up to the both of you and says, “You’ll have to steal my heart before you can steal my mom’s!”

When Jeno said that, it was the third time he made your heart flutter.

Jeno then takes your hand and says, “Okay, mom, I’m gonna go study upstairs with Y/N. We have our AP Biology test soon and I don’t think you want us getting two’s. Bye! Love you!” Mrs. Lee responds with a “Mhm.” before Jeno leads you back up to his room, with your hand still in his.

Once you step foot into his room, a wave of memories hit you.

“Tsk. Y/N, are you climbing through my window again?”

Midway through his window, you say, “Sorry, I’m home alone again. And I keep hearing weird noises! Jeno, I’m just scared.” Jeno looks up from his school project that’s scattered all over his desk with a glue stick in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other. “So, what do you want me to do? Cut them apart with scissors? Snip snip!”

After you helped Jeno with his Egyptian project for his presentation on Monday, you found the both of you staring at his ceiling, adorned by glow-in-the-dark plastic stars and planets. You began to fall asleep while Jeno was talking, and the last thing you remember is Mrs. Lee whispering to you that “your parents are here to get you”.

“Hello? Earth to Y/N? Oh my god, she’s a goner.” Jeno says while vigorously trying to snap his fingers in front of your face. You grab his hand and say, “Stop it, you dork, I need more help on cellular respiration. I can’t remember any of the products again.” Jeno makes a sound in agreement and you feel buzzes coming from your phone in your back pocket.

[2:03 PM] juuuudy🧚🏻‍♀️: hey y/n where are you rn?

[2:03 PM] diane💃🏻: yeah where you at bro? let’s go get ice cream!

[2:03 PM] y/n: oh i’m @ jeno’s rn for ap bio. guys i cannot fail

[2:04 PM] juuuudy🧚🏻‍♀️: WHat YOU’RE AT JENOS

[2:04 PM] diane💃🏻: WAIT DO U MEAN T HE LEE JENO

[2:04 PM] diane💃🏻: BRO WTF GET US HIS NUMBER

[2:04 PM] juuuudy🧚🏻‍♀️: ^^^ agreed!!!!!1

[2:05 PM] y/n: guys i can’t just give y’all his number thats just creepy

[2:05 PM] juuuudy🧚🏻‍♀️: bro wtf.... do u like him or smth?

Before you can type out a reply to Judy’s text, Jeno whisks your phone away from your hands. “Hey! Give me my phone back!” you say, trying to get it from his hands, but his height allows him to keep it held high above his head while he attempts to read the texts that you sent. All of a sudden, he stops resisting you and hands your phone back. Confused, you’re prepared to tease him as to why he gave into you, but you’re interrupted by Jeno saying, “Do you like me?”

Shocked and unable to answer, you were only able to spit out an “I don’t know.” You had never felt this nervous before, as you’ve never thought of it that way. But perhaps, you do have feelings for him. Jeno, clearly confused and also unable to answer, simply says with a straight face, “Let’s just get to work on AP Bio. You said you needed help anyways,” before turning back to his desk.

Instead of a fluttering heart, your heart broke into a million pieces.

But what you didn’t know is that he really had just hoped that you said you liked him.

It’s been two years after he asked if you liked him, and it’s never left your mind. Jeno ended up acting like nothing had happened anyways.

Now, both you and Jeno are eighteen. Your graduation is set to happen tomorrow afternoon, and you’re getting a whole wave of nervousness running throughout your body. Trying on dress after dress, Jeno sits in your room clearly bored and swiping mindlessly on his phone. When you finally find a V-neck dress that’s just the right length and adorned with a floral pattern, you step out of your bathroom to show Jeno.

Noticing that his eyes are still glued to his phone, you say, “Jeno? Hello?” He still doesn’t look up, so you decide to spit out nicknames you knew he wouldn’t like. “Jeno-jaem! Loser! Momma’s boy!” is the three nicknames that finally get his attention.

“Dude, you know I hate that nick-”

Jeno’s mouth gapes open as he looks you up and down. You notice his ears getting slightly red when you say, “So? Is this the dress I should wear?” Stuttering, Jeno replies, “U-u-uh, yeah.” You look at him suspiciously and mumble, “Okay, I guess not then.” As you turn back to the bathroom to change, he quickly grabs your hand and says, “What I meant is that you look beautiful in it. Absolutely stunning in it.”

You can feel yourself blush. His hand is still holding yours, and after a few seconds of silence, you feel yourself suddenly asking the same daring question he asked two years ago.

“Do you like me?”

Expecting a rejection, you let go of his hand and turn back around. However, this time, he pulls your hand back into a tight hug and says, “Maybe I do. And maybe I’ve liked you since the first time I met you.”

It’s finally the day of your graduation, and you’re lucky enough to be sitting next to Jeno. While sitting on white chairs lined up across the stadium’s field, you can feel all eyes on you and Jeno. Ever since last night, Jeno has been close to you, making all the girls around you become filled with instant jealousy and envy.

You look down in your lap and play with your fingers nervously when you hear Jeno say, “Don’t worry about them. I know you think they’re all looking at you, but if it makes you feel better, you’re the only one I’m looking at.” Looking back up into his eyes, you give him the biggest smile accompanied with a blush.

Once the speeches are given and the diplomas are handed out, the principal makes the final, iconic line said at every graduation. Immediately afterwards, the stadium is filled with cheers and yells, as you and Jeno throw your graduation caps up into the air. You both stand up facing each other when he finally makes the bold move to take your face in his hands and connect your plush lips with his.

His simple, yet loving action was the fourth time your heart fluttered for him; except, this time, you know why it was fluttering.

Will Wright

Will Wright is a Video Game Designer known for revolutionizing simulation games during the time when he worked at his company Maxis and EA. After 2009 he left Electronic Arts to run a Think-Tank, Stupid Fun Club Camp, and start working on the Mobile Game Proxi. Will Wright Is most famous for designing the Sims, a life simulation game where you control and simulate the lives of your “Sims”. The Game Involves numerous mechanics to achieve the life simulation for example getting your sims to go to work, form relationships and eat food. the player can also buy, sell and renovate their houses to fit the players style. The Games where inspired by two books, A Pattern Language and Understanding Comics which describe the need for a designer and consumer/user to “collaborate” to achieve a functional design and to get them involved and interested in your creation. The Sims was actually a side project worked on by Will Wright since the heads of the company didn’t think it would be profitable, so he had to work on it on the side while developing SimCity 2000. SimCity is also Will Wrights Magnum Opus, its a city building simulator developed in 1989, the point of the game is to build and design a functioning city, other then that there are no specific goals to complete. the player can build roads, zone areas change taxes and build power grids anything to build the city they desire. the game has a ton of code running in the background changing constantly depending on the crime rate, happiness of the citizens, traffic laws and the player will have to adapt to deal with these problems when they arise. Development started on this game when Will was working on Raid on Bungeling Bay, which he described saying that he found it more fun to design the islands then actually playing the game. Will Wright is an inspiration to me cause he understands the need to create a good design and system so a player can easily pick up and play such complex simulations and find it enjoyable. Will Wright has changed how games should be designed which got me interested in the actual “making a game fun” part of game dev. The actual creating part of what the player will see and interact with. Will Wright stands out to me because every project he has worked on people said that it wouldn’t sell, it wouldn’t be popular and yet he has created franchises and games that have sold millions and has won him so many awards and accolades, just shows the dedication and perseverance he has and gives to his projects.

Ken Levine

Ken Levine is known for developing and designing many story driven First Person Games, leading him to being called one of the “Storytellers of the Decade”. Ken Currently Works at the company Ghost Story Games which he co-foundered. Ken first project was with Doug Church when he helped design Thief: The Dark Project, a stealth video game released in 1998. The Game is set in A Gaslamp fantasy world where players take the role of a master thief that gets involved in a complex plot involving a cult trying to unleash a unnatural chaos. Ken Levine helped design some unique and integral mechanics for the game such has using light and sound for the stealth mechanics, requiring player to alter the environment to maintain stealth. Ken Also helped to design the world and feel of the game, a city on the verge on a transition from medieval to modern. After he finished working on thief he went on to found Irrational Games, which is where he would create many a masterpiece. First he worked on System Shock 2, a hybrid of a role playing game crossed with a first person shooter. The Game is about a solider thats trying to handle a outbreak of genetic infection that has devastated the spaceship they are on. The Game is a blend of an FPS with role playing elements for example the player can develop skills like hacking on psionics. the player has a range of weapons from melee to space wizard attacks allowing the player to play the game the way they want to play it. This Game is also where backstory and lore is told through audio recordings but also a lot of environmentally story telling is used which would be more famously used in Ken’s next game. Another feature that would be used in other games was the research feature, where the player can research specific enemies to get buffs against them. The Most Famous game he worked on has been BioShock, it could be described as ken Levine's Child. BioShock is a game which uses all the elements from ken’s previous games to create this magnum opus. The game is set in a retrofutristic art deco city underwater in ruin. the player must use a range of weapons and powers called plasmitds to fight your way through rapture and uncover the story of this place. The game has a lot of moral choices presented to the player through out the story to change the ending of the story. It is a clear demonstration as Video Games as an art Form. I learned of Ken Levine from watching story analysis videos about bioshock that give high praise to Ken and his writing and direction of the game. which lead me to finding him in other classic games like system shock and theft. Ken is an inspiration for me cause he was able to completely change the genres he worked on and be able to tell such captivating stories, which i believe is the point of every game dev to push the boundaries of what video games are.

John Romero

John Romero is an Video Game Designer known for pioneering the FPS genre when he worked for id Software, currently its said that John is working on a new FPS game with former ID software co-founder Adrian Carmack. Before ID software was created John met and worked with other co-founders of ID at SoftDisk where they helped create titles like Dangerous Dave. One story is that they developed a Mario bros 3 port for PC with smooth side-scroll graphics, which they sent to Nintendo. Nintendo was impressed by didn’t want their IP to be on anything other then their consoles so it wasn’t allowed to be developed. This port led them to develop Commander Keen and the founding of ID Software. Once there Romero Helped develop Titles like Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Quake. The Forefathers of FPS Games. Wolfenstein 3D was made cause John Romero Suggested to remake the game Castle Wolfenstein a 1981 stealth game with the new 3D Game Engine John Carmack was making. the entire pitch of the game was to be Violent and Fast, a game like no other on the market at that time. The gameplay is pretty simple, just find guns and gun down nazis in grid like levels. and even doe its presented in a 3D perspective the actual sprites and assets are all 2D. ray tracing is used so the player is only shown the stuff thats needed for that level. Probably his most famous work is DOOM, a FPS game from 1993 that completely revolutionised the genre. The game is about a space marine fighting his way through hordes of demons. Doom helped to pioneer FPS Games but it also helped with developing 3D graphics with techniques like ray tracing. The games design was focused on the technology that was being developed at Id software, romero suggested to use the engine to create a fast and brutal gaming experience and that the game should primarily focus on creating a fun experience for the player and not some detailed story. Romero helped to design the spiralling levels that we see in doom, with numerous levels, pathways and non-linear feel to them. The wanted to design a game that didn’t just feel like a flat boxy plain like Wolfenstein. Romero also worked on the Mulitplayer levels of Doom, which he named Deathmatches this would lead to the huge popularizing of Multiplayer modes in FPS games. After the release the Doom and Doom 2 the company started development on a true 3D game that wasn’t just a bunch of 2d Sprites at specific angles, Quake. Quake was the first truly 3D FPS game developed by Id since the game engine could actually do real time 3D rendering, sadly the development of this game was rocky and many prominent Id software devs left after its release, one of them was John Romero. there were a lot of creative differences between the company and romero, romero really wanted to push to capabilities of the game while many higher ups that the project took too long which resulted in a “death march” to finish the game. Romero Soon left and would go on to found Ion Storm which would eventually create the first Deux Ex game. I came to know of John Romero when watching videos on the development of Doom, and the overall history of Id Software and how instrumental he was to all of it. John Romero inspires me cause he takes everything he did in the previous projects and improves on them in every aspects always trying to create the best and enjoyable experience.

Tim Cain

Tim Cain is a Video Game Developer and Designer, he is most famous for developing the 1997 computer rpg Fallout. Tim Cain Currently Works at Obsidian Entertainment with many other former members of Interplay. Tim Cain started out as a Freelance Programmer for interplay working on a number of projects like The Bard’s Tale Constuction set. After finishing that game he solely started working on the Engine and Game concept that would eventually become Fallout. The Game was very expensive to develop for the time, costing about 3 million dollars and 3 years to make. and for most of development it was treated like a b project, since it was risky to create such an monumental game for the time. Development at first was pretty rocky since it was a side project Cain was working on in his spare time, eventually gaining access to the GURPS roleplaying game and using mechanics from that board game into fallout. Cain from earlier development designed the entire game engine and most of the features himself, even convincing the company to let him continue development even when the company could of worked on more lucrative projects. Tim Cain designed Fallout to be opened ended and non-linear to feel like you are exploring the world and you are telling your own story not some pre drawn out plan for you to complete. At one point Cain how to completely redesign the GURPS system into the SPECIAL system we see today due to licensing issues and he had only a week to code it, showing the dedication he had for his project. Tim Cain would soon leave Interplay shortly before the release of Fallout 2 which he helped create the main story arc of. after he would found his own company called Troika Games that would develop the cult classic RPG game, Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines, Vampire Bloodlines is a Role Playing game set in a world where vampires are a thing and the player is a recently turned vampire. The Game is extremely open ended, the overall design of the game is every little action and choice has a huge impact and effects things you can’t even see and know about. It really pushed the boundaries of what RPGs could do. sadly even though this game has since become a cult classic, the game did not sell well and caused the shut down of Troika Games. Tim Cain would eventually join Obsidian Entertainment where he would help with Pillars of Eternity and Would direct and Design the Fallout New Vegas spiritual successor The Outer Worlds. I know of Tim Cain while watches videos on the original Fallout game, since i think the first two games are the best in the series and he basically designed all the aspects of those games. They are an Inspirations cause even when the people around he questioned why he was working on a game that wouldn’t sell he continue to work on it and create a true masterpiece of video game art. He also keeps improving and experimenting with game developing making the games he makes even better each and every time.

Warren Spector

Warren Spector is an Video Game Designer, he is known for creating the Immersive Sim genre of video games, games that emphasizes player choice and systems that react to those said choices to create emergent gameplay. Warren Spector actually started out in the Tabletop roleplaying game industry which i believe helped him to create such immersive rpgs later on in his career. In 1989, Spector would join the Looking Glass Games and would be involved in numerous projects from the Ultima Underworld to the more famous System Shock game. All this work would eventually lead him to become the manager of Looking Glass Austin branch. He would eventually leave Looking Glass and go on to work on his magnum opus. At Ion Storm Warren Spector would develop the genre breaking game Deus Ex. A game set in a cyberpunk themed dystopia and it follows the character of JC Denton which the player can control all aspects to tell the story they want to be told. The gameplay of the game is a combination of a FPS game, with a mixture of stealth elements, adventure and role-playing, with all of these features allowing the player to complete the game in whatever way they choose and each choice affects the story, outcome and characters. The game allows the player to go into specific skills to play the game they want to and allowing for unique exploration and character interaction. after a couple of years he would leave Ion Storm and get a job working for a Disney owned dev studio. He headed this new studio called junction Point and would create the game known as Epic Mickey for the Wii. Spector was fascinated with the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit Character that was the precursor to mickey mouse and wanted to create a game about him. The Game is a platformer with a slight mix of the immersive sim elements Spector is known for, such as its morality system that affects the world and characters depending on the players choices. Following the Closure of Junction Point Studios by Disney spector would eventually join OtherSide Entertainment where he is currently working on System Shock 3. I know of this person when i watched an analysis video Epic Mickey and how his past games influenced Epic Mickey. This person is an inspiration cause it shows what no deadlines, no budget etc can do for a video game when its just people working on, also he is an inspiration cause he create an entire new genre of video game due to his dedication, skill and creativity as a game developer.

Cam’s Voltron Fic Rec 1/∞

VLD Fic Recs: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Here’s a Fic Masterlist for my other fandoms. ( ** = favorites )

**Moonset Deep by MilkTeaMiku (fairydens on tumblr)

Word count: 80,000 (32/?)

Summary: All his life he’d been told to make sure he was never seen – it was what all the children were taught from the moment they were born. Never let a human see you, never fall in love with a human, and most importantly, never kiss one.

For Lance, humans were a mystery. He’d lived beneath the surface of the ocean with his shoal his entire life, and had intended to remain there. He knew the danger humans posed to his kind, and what would happen if he came close to one. That’s why, when he found one drowning, his first instinct was to save him.

He’d never been good at following the rules anyway.

Comments: Klance featuring merlance! and human!keith. Also there is so much good art based off of this fic. I love the world building in this story, the details make this fic seem so real you almost forget it is fantasy. The progression of their coming together is very natural and not forced (I’m a sucker for slow burn). A song that always makes me think of this fic is called Oceans Away by A R I Z O N A.

In All The Stars by Tea Party on Ice (A_Conscious_Dreamer)

Word count: 5,568 (1/1)

Summary: Shiro liked to downplay his memory loss for the other members of the team, but Keith knew better. He knew because there was one significant thing Shiro had forgotten—his soulmate bond with Keith.

Keith could live through that (maybe) but the Hanahaki Disease, however (the rare result of a neglected soul bond) would be a little more difficult.

Comments: Sheith Soulmate AU bc its kinda my thing. Also I really liked this scene: “A large hand on his shoulder as Hunk leaned closer. ‘You alright, man? It wasn’t the food, was it?’

He went to respond—I’m fine—but found himself coughing instead, large dry heaves that irritated his throat further and made his breathing stutter and gasp. Swallowing heavily as they died down, he opened his eyes to reassure everyone but froze in horror instead.

Scattered on his lap, on the table, the floor, and gathered on top of his meal like garnish were petals of a deep, deep red—Keith’s favourite colour, the colour of passion…and of death.

His death.”

**The Quintessential Bond by avidbeader

Word count: 40,637 (14/?)

Summary: Quintessence is the source of life for all things in the universe. Its harmonics vary with each individual. But Terrans have a unique feature where the quintessences of two people can blend so thoroughly that the two are connected in body and spirit. So far there has been no provable weakening of the bond due to distance once it is awakened. But now, two soulmates are about to be separated by an entire solar system for over a year.

Or, my take on a Sheith soulmates AU.

Comments: Soulmate AU bc this is me. Also, definitely one of my favorite voltron fics of all time. Honestly don’t understand how this doesn’t have more views? The amount of thought that went into the plot and the characterizations and the science stuff is phenomenal. Also Keith+Pidge broship is my thing. Song recommendations to set the mood... Moondust and Cosmic Love.

Lifeline by spicygenou

Word count: 1,751 (1/1)

Summary: Keith has always had an approximate idea of when his Soulmate and he would meet, the words revealing more than just their flirtatious personality. Likewise, Lance knew that his words would be something corny, based on how his Soulmate reacted. This is the story of how they finally met.

Comments: Klance. Soulmate AUs are my thing ok? And this one is especially adorable and fluffy. Also coffeeshop AU in a way.

**Ignorance is Bliss by YouAreInAComaWakeUp

Word count: 172,675 (30/30)

Summary: As it turns out, learning that your house is haunted makes the ghosts a lot more aggressive. Who knew?

Ah, well. At least one of them is hot. And he’s the less-evil one, too, so that’s always a plus.

Comments: Klance with Ghost!Keith and Human!Lance. I LOVE THIS FIC. I got so attached to all the Voltron characters all over again in all new ways, even the minor ones. Like, these characters in this story had such depth, and were so multidimensional that I will never see them the same again. All of them were so completely brought to life and for me, reading this was a life-altering experience. Also, there is a bunch of fan art based of this fic, and its all linked in chapter descriptions so don’t forget to check those out too. I really loved this amazing animated video from my favorite scene in the entire story.

Might want to read the warnings for this fic before reading just in case.

Don’t Fret by Qpenguin98

Word count: 5,643 (1/1)

Summary: It starts with a headache. Keith gets sick.

Comments: Klance sickfic with lots of cuddling. Serious, but fluffy.

i toss and turn by knightly

Word count: 6,749 (1/1)

Summary: Keith is sick, and someone comes to check in on him.

He’s just about to try to smother himself again when his door whooshes open. His eyes dart automatically towards the door, and he squints at the figure. It’s tall and skinny and dark, which leaves only one person it could be. Lance.

His heart does a tiny little kick in his chest, and he has to redouble his efforts not to cover his face again. Of all of the people who would come to check on him, it would be Lance.

Comments: Another Klance sickfic because Lance taking care of Kieth while he’s sick. Lots of fluff and cuddles.

Shared Stars by Kitsune_Moonstar

Word count: 2,313 (1/1)

Summary: Keith’s had the little cluster of stars on the inside of his wrist for as long as he can remember. He didn’t know if it was a human thing or just a him thing, but it was one more thing that made him different from the rest of the Blades.

Comments: Another Sheith Soulmate AU featuring a BOM raised Keith. Found this one through the Dads of Marmara tag. Interesting take on an alternate first-meeting where Keith meets Matt and Sam before Shiro. Matt & Keith bros are always welcome. (if you find more Matt & Keith friendshipfics pls gimme thnx)

My Constellation by Kalira

Word count: 5,862 (1/1)

Summary: Keith’s heart leaps when his mark changes to show Shiro’s name - and sinks with the fear that Shiro’s will never show his. But is a mark really necessary to fall in love?

Comments: Sheith Soulmate AU. A little heartbreaking, but the fluff overpowers it in the end.

Soulmarks and Skidmarks by FallingNarwhals

Word count: 9,753 (7/?)

Summary: Keith didn’t want much. A steady job, a place to call home, and maybe figure out the soulmark on his ankle that kept him emotionally tied to a stranger.

Hunk is fresh off of a bigoted and terror ridden Earth all but clutching his degree by his fingertips, and decides that the small outpost town is perfect to live.

And neither of them can deny the small throbbing of happiness though their marks.

Comments: Heith Soulmate AU with lots of world building. Also Mechanic!&Racer!Keith and Mechanic!Hunk. I was getting some slight SW:TPF vibes while reading this, but maybe thats just me.

The Man in the Mask by kitausu

Word count: 1,076 (1/1)

Summary: Keith finds himself at a party he doesn’t want to be at but with a man in a mask he maybe wouldn’t mind getting to know better

Comments: NSFW. Also Heith bc Heith is life.

Mirage by LavenderWife

Word count: 18,307 (5/5)

Summary: Keith and Lance crash on an alien planet. With nothing but desert for miles and their lions broken, the two must learn to work together if they have any chance of surviving the planet’s mysterious inhabitants and getting back home.

Comments: Some good fluffy and action-packed Klance bonding. Includes some whump and flexible!Keith. These two standoffish and competitive goofballs are forced to rely on each other a lot in this fic and in turn start to open up about their fears and insecurities. The amount of desperation and vulnerability Keith and Lance are forced to show the other while on the run is physically tangible here and I love it.

Kiss From a Rose by BossToaster(ChaoticReactions)

Word count: 14,176 (6/6)

Summary: 5 times Shiro got kisses from the team, and one time he returned them

Comments: SHIRO KISSES AHHH but seriously he’s so adorable and the team giving Shiro (platonic) kisses is my kink.

**A Long Time Ago (We Used To Be Friends) by Mikiri

Word count: 32,580 (1/1)

Summary: Originally Keith was supposed to have been Shiro’s copilot for the Kerberos Mission. They bonded over the thought of being on a mission together. But that all fell down the drain when something was found wrong with his blood. The fall out of the mission failure changed Keith forever.

Comments: Gen with lots of Holt family + Shiro + Keith bonding bc both these goofballs need more love and the Holts agree so they are basically adopted now. The original Garrison Trio woo! This is part of the Haven’t Thought Of You Lately At All Series which is waiting on its next installment and I am so excited for bc this may be my favorite voltron fic out there. What can I say I am a sucker for the Holts/Keith bonding storyline. Some tone setting songs are One Minute More, I Lived, and my fav, Brother by Kodaline.
