#otp: what you're missing out on
Text
Writing ROMANTIC TENSION!
When you're writing romance, you need to have TENSION. Your characters need to pull your readers into the story with not just their dialogues, but also their chemistry.
What is tension, you ask? It's quite simple. When two people are attracted to each other, or like each other, or are in love with each other, it causes a certain shift in the air. When these two people come together, they seem to outshine everyone else in the room and make it just about themselves (in a good way ofc). This shift in the air which hooks you into the scene is called tension. The chemistry that your main characters carry, will infact carry the whole story --- if you're writing romance, i.e.
How do you write this romantic tension? Well, as someone who's been writing romance for 4 years now, here's a few things I do to show the chemistry between my characters.
Show, don't tell:
This is probably the most common advice you'll ever receive. And spoiler alert: IT IS TRUE. Any scene that includes an emotion will require you to show it, visualise it for the crowd instead of just writing it down. Romance, love, is a sensitive emotion. The readers need to SEE it happening, instead of just reading about it. Eye contact, long stares, switching their gaze from the eyes to the lips & back to the eyes, coming close for a few seconds, banter-turned-flirting are some ways you can show the chemistry.
Intimacy is key:
Proximity. Closeness. Coming together.
Put your characters in situations where they have to work together. Show their differences/similarities in handling tasks and make them argue or slightly quarrel if there's any differences and show them rejoicing if there's an agreement. Intimacy lies in more than just the body, bring out a quality in your characters, preferably a good one, in your characters when they're together. Make that quality their strong suit that drives them closer.
Words are sexy:
Dialogues can create tension better than anything else (in my opinion). Notice how every time your ships/pairings are bantering, one of them ends up saying something sexual or romantic in a frisky way and we end up blushing like crazy? Yep, that's the goal. We absolutely love it when the guy says "oh yeah?" or ends up calling the girl a cute nickname while bantering. Dialogues can reach out to readers in a more personal way because they are the direct interactions between your characters. Make your OTP interact and have fun (pun intended!)
Add restraint:
Sometimes, when the characters are almost about to kiss and someone interrupts them, we feel like throwing the book away. But at the same time, we want more because we want to see our characters kiss, or confess, or even get down dirty ;).
You have put your characters in each other's close proximities, given them a driving force and added a razzle-dazzle with the dialogues and flirting! Yet, something is missing and the romance feels too....predictable? Put a constraint. This is especially important for slowburns. Personally, I love me a slowburn - it creates higher tension, emphasises on a foundation between characters and makes the kiss/confession/sex even more hot (again, my opinion). I suggest, a hint of a barrier won't do any harm. When you've reached the level of tension where it's normal for your characters to kiss or make-out, your readers are more focused than ever. Adding a restraint will make them crave the romance more and hence, stay hooked into the story.
HOWEVER, DON'T STALL THE PROJECT. Just because your characters got interrupted in chapter 7 doesn't mean they can't kiss till chapter 15 or something. If they don't kiss in this chapter, they kiss after maybe 2-3 more chapters. You want to delay the romance only by a tad bit, so that your readers are still interested.
That's all I have for today! I hope these help you guys!
- ashlee.

Since I've seen many posts about people missing how common asks used to be, I have been trying to send to more asks to engage more. I really don't want to bother anyone though so I'd love to know if you enjoy receiving asks and if so what kind of asks. Detailed? Vague? Work? Fandom? Movies? Books? Childhood? Gardening? Thoughts? OTPs? OCs? I'm sure there are way more categories, I'm not limiting you to these listed options. Perhaps if it's an easier question what types of asks do you not like?
pPAAASGGFYGGJIK THANK YOU?
Detailed asks good yes
Vague asks??? Do not understand but open to the concept
Fandom: My first Fandom was X-Men, then Lord of the Rings, then Homestuck, Transformers, Fullmetal Alchemist, Teen Wolf, Avengers (first movie, when it came out), Batman, Overwatch briefly, Mass Effect, Gravity Falls, Trigun, and now my sister's getting me into Call of Duty! Feel free to ask about any!!
Movies: Yes movies are a great topic I have SO MANY
Oh lord I haven't consistently been up to date on books in FOREVER but yes books are good, you can ask book questions, I'm reading a lot of old classics and recently finished Pride & Prejudice, am now on The One That Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest
Childhood- oh my god bud you have no idea
Gardening- My house is full of plastic plants on account of how good I am at killing things
Thoughts- Always
OTPs YO YES
OCs? YO YEAH GO FOR IT I NEVER TALK ABOUT THEM aaaaah I need to start writing again- I've been working on an urban fantasy for like. God like 7-8 years now
If I don't like an ask I'll just ignore or delete it but not much is off the table. I will not answer where exactly I live, who I am, if I'm a specific person you met, etc. for safety reasons.
I've worked in sex education so I can answer questions on that topic but if you get too personal or abrasive I will not respond.
I'm regularly flooded with donation requests and it's often too hard to figure out which are real and which are scams using stolen legit posts so as a general rule I do not spread those, I'm sorry.
And if you pop in to sexually harass me or use abusive language towards myself or others then I'm just gonna block you and delete the message.
If you want to warn me that a post I shared came from a bad source I do appreciate that, but if I do my research and can't find a legitimate reason to block someone then I probably won't.
I consider Legitimate Reasons to block someone on recommendation to be abusive language and behaviour, threats, bigotry, propagation of misinformation, production of AI content, and encouragement of dangerous behaviors that pose genuine harm to self or others. I'm not gonna block a random cause they enjoy Steven Universe and you think it's annoying. We all like stuff.
Womp-womp.
Thanks for asking!!! I probably shoulda talked about some of this myself, lol
EDIT: Terfs and radfems are block on sight, it's not your fault you're dumb but I am not capable of educating all of you

i love your blog! i was wondering if you could do OTP prompts for a couple that're reunited after a long time (and due to some personal issues, don't love each other anymore) slowly falling back in love?
OTP Prompts for a Couple Who Fell Out of Love
-> feel free to edit and adjust pronouns as you see fit.
"Do you remember when we used to--?"
"Don't remind me."
---
"It's good to see you."
"I wish I could say the same."
---
"Wow, you haven't changed a bit."
---
"I honestly didn't think I'd ever see you again."
"Sorry to disappoint."
---
"You know, I've really missed you."
"I bet you're really expecting me to say 'I've missed you too.'"
---
"What happened between us?"
"You know what happened."
---
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"Us. And what happened."
"It wasn't entirely your fault."
---
"Every time I look at you I'm reminded of what we used to be."
---
"It's been nice spending time with you."
"Yeah, I've had a good time."
---
"Is it bold of me to say I want to pick up where we left off?"
"Very bold. But I wouldn't mind it if we did."
---
"God, I've missed you."
---
"I've spent a lot of time thinking about what happened to us. Going over ever scenario in my head and analyzing every little conversation we had towards the end. I don't quite understand what went wrong, but I'm so sorry for whatever happened."
---
"I don't think I've been myself since you left."

“I love you, but that’s a terrible idea” from the January OTP prompts for Jake and Venus pretty please :)
"I love you, but that's a terrible idea," Venus stated, taking her eyes off the screen to face her husband.
"So is that a no?" Jake asked, trying to emulate a puppy dog with his green eyes. If their relationship was still fresh, it would have worked.
"You're really asking that in regards to our baby having a cowboy themed nursery?" Venus deadpanned.
"It's cute! They can have little cowboy boots and a stuffed horse, as well as some-"
"We are not getting them Longhorn themed stuff Jake. I was lenient with the dog, but I draw the line at indoctrinating our children," she placed her hands on her stomach. While she was far from showing, it was already an instinct.
"I want it to be known that I did not indulge that much when it came to getting Okra Longhorn themed things. They have one jersey and one toy," Jake said, putting his hands up in defense.
"And what, you think that deserves a reward or something?" Venus rolled her eyes as she paused the Bachelor episode she and Jake had been watching.
"I think we should at least get baby Seresin a matching jersey. Think of how cute the pictures would be. We could also get them a horsie blanket, a brown cow ottoman-"
"Did you say brown cow ottoman? Wait, have you been looking at stuff already?"
Jake moved so he was sitting next to her on the couch. Grabbing his hand with one hand and placing the other on her stomach.
"I'm not an amateur V, I have a Pinterest board," Jake said with the complete sincerity that she both loved and was confused by.
"I'm only six weeks along, why the rush?" She asked, resting her head on Jake's shoulder. The smell of Cedarwood calmed her, reminding her that he was here. She snaked an arm around his shoulders, her fingers quickly finding his scalp to massage.
Jake sighed, fighting back the urge to roll it off. She would know and he knew better. Plus she would stop her world famous massages.
Always a step ahead, she quickly added, "And don't tell me it's nothing because I have that pregnancy intuition now."
Jake's brows knitted together, "Pregnancy intuition?"
"Yeah, I'm like ninety percent sure it's a thing."
Jake rolled his eyes, though a small smile remained on his face, "Is that what you're going to say when you want to be right?"
She leaned in, a devious smirk on her face, "Are you going to tell me I'm wrong?"
The comment got a smile out of Jake, the tension visibly leaving his shoulders as he laughed. A domino effect, as it got a laugh out of Venus as well, her smirk melting away into a sweet smile.
Jake shifted, laying his head on his shoulder and wrapping an arm around her waist.
"This upcoming class is going to be tough according to Cyclone which means I'll be spending more time at work and I... I don't want to miss anything."
Instead of responding immediately, she simply pressed a kiss to his forehead. Her hand found his, bringing it to her stomach.
"You're not going to miss anything. I mean, probably me throwing up-"
"But then who's going to hold your hair?" Jake asked, his voice filled with genuine concern.
He truly didn't want to miss anything.
Call it pregnancy hormones or being in love for years, but it nearly brought tears to her eyes.
"I have ponytail holders. But I promise, you will be the first to know when baby Seresin is making me throw up. And you'll be there to set up our nursery, which will not be cowboy themed but I'm willing to entertain the idea of a baby cow ottoman to rest my feet on."
It brought a smile to Jake's face, though it didn't completely put his mind at ease. This would be his first true test as a Top Gun instructor and it couldn't have come at a worse time.
"Besides, if Cyclone keeps you from me, I'll call him personally," Venus explained as she reached for the remote, resuming the rose ceremony.
"How....how do you have his number?" Jake asked, thoughts of missing baby time being replaced by the potential of his wife committing some kind of felony.
"I have my sources," was all she said before getting the bowl of popcorn.
It took Jake a few moments before it hit him.
"Bob?"
"Wanted to thank me for introducing him to his wife."

BOOPED!
Carolina's phone would not stop "bleeping"! But when a friend helps her get to the bottom of it, she and Trystan are in for some startling discoveries about each other.
Book Boop: Crimes of Passion (post Book 2)
Pairing: Trystan Thorne x Carolina Rose (F!MC)
Characters: Luke Watanabe
Summary: See above
Rating: Teen
Words: 2.150
A/N: All right, so I may have been a total party-pooper with the "boops," but that got me thinking how my OTPs would have handled them... and that led me here! I hope you enjoy it! Participating in @choicesaprilchallenge24 - prompt - "You're not going to believe what I just found."
*Bleep*
*Bleep*
*Bleep*
The utter silence of the Ginovesi Detective Agency’s offices was rattled each time Carolina’s phone “bleeped.” Trystan eyed the phone warily, glancing between it and Carolina every time it went off. For a woman who demanded complete silence when they were focusing on a case, she was doing her best to ignore it, but Trystan knew it was only a matter of time...
“¡Ay, Dios mío!” she cried out... and there it was. “¿Qué carajo es esto?”
Taking the phone in hand, she frantically tapped away at it, but the bleeps kept pouring in, and with each new arrival, Trystan watched as his girlfriend became more unhinged. “¿Qué es esta mierda?”
That’s when Luke entered the mix. Slinking into the office with his hands nonchalantly stuffed in his pockets, he slouched into a chair with a half smile.
“Oh no. I heard nothing but Spanish coming out of you from way down the hall. This can’t be good.”
“It’s not!” Carolina spat as Trystan debated whether her frustration was utterly adorable or good cause for him to evacuate the office as quickly as possible. “I can’t get this fucking thing to stop bleeping!”
There were many things Trystan could have said or done, but as was often the case for the former prince, he reclined in his chair and chose chaos.
“It seems one of her former suitors isn’t taking the hint and won’t let go easily,” he smirked. “While I may no longer be a monarch, I still have some pull. One phone call to Lydea, my love, and I will have that man relieved of his testicles. Give me a name and number,” he winked. “I assure you, the bleeps will stop within the hour.”
Carolina glared at him with anger in her eyes, but despite her desire to remain cross, his stupid grin managed to do her in.
“Bold of you to assume it’s a he, your highness,” she derided. “There is a far greater likelihood that it would be a she. So, someone will be deprived the pleasure of performing an orchiectomy today.”
“An orchiectomy...” Luke queried, pulling up Google on his phone, but Trystan pushed it aside.
“Spare yourself the pain, man. It’s the art of relieving someone of their balls.”
“Ouch!” Luke shuddered. “Of course, I can see how the inability to do that would cause some Drakovian guard to fall into a deep depression, but still... ouch."
Trystan turned back to Carolina with a shrug. “It’s OK, love. They can remove body parts from women as well.”
“That’s so good to know,” she laughed. “But I’m afraid this isn’t as salacious as a spurned lover trying to get me to bend to their will.”
“Then what is it?” Trystan asked. “Your phone’s been going off all day, and I’ve never heard that notification tone before.”
“It’s,” she began, stopping herself as four curious eyes stared at her, eager for a response. “It’s... nothing. I’ll just turn the sound off my phone.”
“GASP!” Luke mocked. “During work hours! When you could potentially miss... something?”
It would have ended there for Luke, but Trystan wasn't done. Realizing something was amiss, he closely watched his love, not about to let her off the hook.
“Why don’t you just turn notifications off? What’s so embarrassing? Is it... Facebook?” he chuckled.
Carolina was an animal entrapped in a corner, desperate for an escape, but when it became clear that none existed, she surrendered. Burying her face into her hands with a languid groan... she confessed.
“I freaking wish! It’s .... worse!”
“Worse than Facebook?” Luke said with feigned horror. “What is it? Your old OKCupid app?”
“No!” Carolina said, throwing a pencil his way.
“Your old FarmersOnly account!!!”
“What?” Trystan snickered.
“I didn’t have a FarmersOnly account! Well, I did... but it was just a joke to frighten Uncle Tommy! Besides, I deleted that long ago!”
Trystan turned to Luke in confusion. “What... what’s FarmersOnly?”
“That’s unimportant, “Carolina interrupted. “It’s... it’s my Tumblr. I haven’t used it for longer than I can remember; I didn't even know it was still on my phone. But I’ve gotten like seven hundred notifications today, and I have no idea why!”
“So,” Luke shrugged. “Turn the notifications off.”
“I can’t! I forgot my password... and before you say it, I don’t remember what e-mail I created the account with. So I can’t reset it.”
“So,” Luke shrugged again. “Just delete the app! Problem solved.”
“But the detective in me needs to figure this out," she sighed. "Who knows why this is happening? When I go home tonight, I’ll try to remember what e-mail accounts I had circa 2016. Maybe I can figure it out.”
“It was probably something like myglitteringlittlenyyankeepony@ yahoo.com or something like that,” Luke laughed.
“More like [email protected],” she tittered.
“Dear Lord,” Trystan groused. "Both sound dreadful, but can we circle back to something potentially even more embarrassing? You had a Tumblr account?”
“Oh, shut up!” Carolina defended. “It was 2016! All the cool kids had a Tumblr account!”
“I didn’t,” Luke announced.
“I said cool,” Carolina retorted. Still, Trystan was undeterred.
“What on earth did you use your Tumblr account for? Were you in a fandom?”
He had intended to let it go, but when Carolina’s cheeks turned brighter than any apple he ever witnessed in a Cordonian orchard, he knew the quest was just beginning. Raising a brow in wicked delight, he teased. “Yesssss....”
“I was into Divergent,” she said, raising her hands. “Big fan... The Hunger Games, too.”
“All right,” Trystan nodded with a smile. “I can see that....”
But now it was Luke’s turn to incite, “Really? Because I could have sworn you once told me you used to write fanfiction for Princess Di.....”
“Obviously, you’re mistaken!” Carolina shouted. “Katniss! Katniss x Peeta, my OTP! That’s why I was on Tumblr!”
“Wait,” Trystan interrupted. “Princess Di? Were you into Princess Diana?”
“No,” Carolina spat. “Luke is just losing his mind, that’s all!”
“Oh, come now, princess,” Luke chided. “Is this the foundation you want to build your relationship on? A throne of lies?”
“No,” Trystan smiled gleefully. “Thrones of lies are bad. Very bad."
“I believe they are,” Luke chuckled. "I'm sorry, Carolina. It’s confession time.”
Trystan slunk over to Carolina’s side, playfully nudging her with his shoulder. “Time’s up, dear. Tell me the truth, or I’ll have to employ ancient Drakovian torture measures to get you to speak!"
“Yeah! And not the kinky ones you’re into!” Luke grinned.
“Fine,” Carolina exhaled with disgust, her voice barely a whisper. “I was very into... The Princess Diaries."
Trystan’s lips began to curl, the dimple in his cheek becoming more pronounced. “I’m sorry... what?”
“The Princess Diaries! OK!! I used to love The Princess Diaries!”
“In 2016!” Luke scoffed. “Weren’t those movies popular in like... 2004?”
"So?! I was a little behind the times. I was a nerd... so sue me! My Tumblr was all about The Princess Diaries... are you satisfied now?” She asked, hiding her face in shame.
Trystan rubbed his chin in delight as he allowed Carolina to sweat it out, thinking of the best way to torture his prey.
“The Princess Diaries! This all makes so much sense now!”
“What?” Luke wondered aloud. “That she always had a soft spot for monarchy scum?”
“Well, yes,” Trystan responded. “ But, seriously... how long did you have these fantasies about being a long-lost princess, my dear?”
“What! Never! I’m a Boricua from the Bronx! A freaking badass, bisexual Boricua from the Bronx! Being a princess was nothing I aspired to!”
“Yet you were writing Princess Diaries fanfic?” Trystan tsked. “Then... you relentlessly pursued me.”
Horrified, she slammed her hand on the desk. “I DID NOT!!! You know I didn’t!”
“I’m not sure what to believe anymore, Carolina. Right now, I’m feeling sort of cheap and used.”
Luke howled with laughter. “In fairness, there’s nothing cheap about you, Trystan. Used? Sure, I can see that. But cheap? No way.”
“Thank you, Luke,” Trystan acknowledged.
“Don’t mention it.”
But Carolina wasn't smiling. “I never had some monarchy fetish! I just liked the stupid movie! It was escapism for me, OK? But you know damn well you being a royal was a detriment to me, not a bonus! I wasn’t all, ‘Oh, now I need to land this guy!’ you know that!”
“I can't be sure anymore. I think I have to have this investigated to make sure your intentions with me are pure!”
“You know that’s not a bad idea,” Luke nodded as he typed away on his laptop. “I do know of a good agency that could help you.”
“LUKE!” Carolina yelled, so flustered that she hadn’t noticed her phone stopped bleeping several minutes before.
“Relax... princess...” Luke teased. “I just hacked into your Tumblr. The bleeping should stop now.
“But... how?” She asked, immediately catching his sarcastic stare. “Yeah, don’t bother answering that.”
Trystan stood over her shoulder as she opened the app. “700 notifications? Seriously, why the hell did I get all these notifications today?”
“It looks like they were having some kind of a “boop” thing for April Fools? I guess it’s like the old Facebook poke? Everyone seems to be sending boops.”
“But why?” Carolina asked, dumbfounded. "Don't people have better things to do with their time?"
“Look,” Luke chirped. “I'm capable of doing a great many things, but making sense out of anything that happens on Tumblr.... that’s asking too much...even of me.”
“True,” Carolina mumbled.
“He makes sense,” Trystan nodded in agreement. “Now, let’s read some of your old fanfic.”
“Oh, hell no!” Carolina insisted. “There’s no way!”
“Please?” Trystan begged, with puppy-dog eyes in full effect.
“All right, fine! But only on one condition!”
“Name it!”
“You show me your old Tumblr... and don’t lie and tell me you didn’t have one. We both know you did.”
“Sorry, my love,” Trystan shrugged. “But I didn’t.”
The couple turned to Luke when he sighed again. “Do you really want to start this relationship sitting on a throne of lies, Trystan? Or should I call you PlayfulPrince315. Dude! Using your actual birthday? I know you were a tween then, but still, you should have known better!”
“Playful... Prince?” Carolina beamed. “OK, Mr. Playful, what were you doing on Tumblr?”
“Oh, that’s easy,” he winked. “I was searching for beautiful want-to-be princesses from the Bronx.”
“Nah,” Luke laughed. “Minecraft. He was into Minecraft.”
“Really?” Trystan asked, dragging a hand down his face.
“Hey, I outed Carolina, and she’s my best friend. You knew you weren’t safe.”
“Minecraft?” Carolina said with mock disgust. “Tell me it wasn’t Minecraft porn... please?”
“WHAT?" Trystan asked in shock. "Was that even a thing?”
“Sadly, it was,” Carolina laughed. “I’m sorry, but I need to know if you were into that. I don’t care how long ago it was; I am not marrying any man who once got off to Minecraft porn.”
A devilish grin slowly spread on Trystan’s face as he stepped confidently toward Carolina.
“Marry... you say?” His grin miraculously grew wider. “Have you been thinking about marrying me, Carolina?”
“I... uh, I...” she couldn't have been more grateful for Luke jumping out of his seat.
“Well, I think I’ll leave you two alone. You can handle this conversation without me.”
He headed toward the door, but not before handing Trystan a scrap of paper. “Here, this is your Tumblr password, Playful Prince. You two can figure out your weird pasts alone.”
“Oh, like you didn’t have weird things in your past!” Carolina yelled after him.
“At least they aren't archived for prosperity on Tumblr,” Luke grinned. “And I’m relieved to say it doesn’t look like Ruby has to deal with that, either. But I can’t wait to tell her about the two of yours.”
Luke whistled as he exited, turning one more time before shutting the door. “Oh, and Playful one? You got 200 fewer boops than Carolina... and you’re royalty, man? Embarrassing! Just... embarrassing! I don't think she should consider marrying you!"
Trystan turned to his blushing girlfriend. "So, back to that marrying thing.... how often does that cross your mind?"
"Uh, you know what," she said, reaching up for a soft but passionate kiss. "Why don't I tell you all about FarmersOnly instead."
"Uninterested," he beamed.
"All right," she said, pulling out her phone. "Then let's say I allow you to read 3,500 words of angst I wrote about Princess Mia and Prince Harry circa 2016?"
Trystan's eyes lit up. "Seriously?"
"Here," she said, handing him her phone. "Go through my whole masterlist. By the time you're done... you'll forget anything else."
Trystan slunk back into the chair, tossing his feet on the desk for comfort. "Don't count on it," he winked. "Don't count on that... at all."

I'm probably going to regret this later.
I had a good friend say to me recently that she's not reading any more books by white men. Clearly she was looking for congratulations. Instead, all I could feel was sadness.
To me, the point of pushing for diversity and representation in media is exactly that. Diversity, and not just to put points on a scoreboard or get kudos from your socially-minded friends but because you actually care about broadening your mind. For too long, too few people's perspectives and experiences have been overrepresented in history and popular culture, which limits our thinking and perpetuates the kinds of marginalization and discrimination that hurt society as a whole. We need to actively, aggressively correct that. But to me that means a process that is additive, not subtractive.
Add books to your reading list by people from different backgrounds and cultures, or that center characters who aren't like you. And "aren't like you" should be broad. Read a different genre than you'd normally pick up. Read about somebody older or younger than you, someone whose brain works differently, or someone who grew up in a different part of the country, even if they might look like you on the outside. Do this, but don't only do this to the point that reading becomes a chore or a performative action, or to the point where you're now cutting out other perspectives entirely. I hear so many sad stories these days about how little people read, and I think part of that is because there's been a push for reading as a requirement, as education, and that only certain kinds of books are okay to read because they contribute to this goal. That's such crap. Read what you want because it is fun! But then also add to that experience with new, different books. You never know what else you might like (looking at you, native Hawaiian vampire story). Growing your reading pie isn't about "no more of this" but "yes, more of that."
And the same can be said for fandom. Fandom has always been as space for people to explore different kinds of characterizations and relationships that aren't heavily reflected in popular culture. That's largely why we have transformative works. But lately I see this almost puritanical push in fandom for everything to check certain boxes when the whole point of fandom and fan creations is to make shit up. Don't see enough hairy-chested mlm werewolves on screen? Draw your favs as hairy gay werewolves who kiss! And if you've never thought about your OTP as werewolves, be open-minded enough to explore it, or to read someone else exploring it just to see how it is and stretch your brain a bit. Maybe you'll like it, or learn about werewolves. Maybe you'll hate it. Either way, support each other.
And like the books, this process should be additive. Push yourself to be open to more ships and interpretations of characters and canon. Also, curate your fandom experience, and if you explore something and it isn't for you, that's okay. It's for somebody else. And the fact that it contains no werewolves doesn't make it wrong, or boring, or toxic, or anti-werewolf, or something you need to tell the creator not to make anymore because you want to be seen in online spaces as coming out against what is unpopular so that you, by reflection, will look popular. If you do this you're looking for the fandom equivalent of kudos for saying you'll never read a book by a white man, leaving everything from Neil Gaiman to Tolkien on the table and thinking that makes you look progressive instead of sad and small and like you're trying desperately to sit at the right table in middle school. In short, fandom isn't a zero sum game any more than reading is. And real diversity in fandom means adding in the content and perspectives and characters we're missing, both on and off-screen, (and not just the ones you like, but the ones you might not) as well as not weeding out the ones that we already have. We can have more together, not less.

i saw this post today where this person was talking abt fandom racism and was pointing out some real issues within my fandom and favorite ship that I too had noticed… but then kept bringing it back to the lack of one particular other ship they liked, when it's like, no that's not the problem, and that ship is unpopular because those characters have zero romantic or sexual chemistry and barely any scenes together. (it was really funny that someone had reblogged this to take their 'lack of seeing this one character in a sexual way in fic miiight be racist' complaint to be like 'i think you're right! we should have more fic about [a long list of different ships involving that character with people they have ACTUAL chemistry with].' it was really funny. ofc op totally missed the point they were making there.) anyway i just feel like way too many useful conversations about this stuff are ruined by people making it about shipping or other really subjective fandom preferences. i get that this is because something like 'number of fics X ship or character has on ao3' is an objective measure, and something like 'level of orientalism in how a lot of people are writing this desi character' is not, but i wish people would realize it tends to alienate more people that it converts. and ime, it's often the people who maybe would most benefit from hearing those criticisms (e.g. are writing unintentionally racist stuff in their works, and are someone who would want to know about that and how to do it differently) who tune it out the second you make it into insulting their shipping preferences.
i mean, there WAS some real racism in the star wars sequels fandom, including among the fanfic/shipping side. not just the shitty dudes harassing kelly marie tran. we saw the really bizarre 'predator' language people directed at john boyega just for making some joke posts on instagram about disliking reylo and its shippers. it was the very classic racist thing where people see something as automatically more threatening when a black man does it. ....but how many people had already tuned all that out because the people most outspoken about the racism in the fandom kept reducing it to 'if you ship reylo over finnrey, or kylux over finnpoe, you're a racist'? it's like a boy who cried wolf thing. if you've shown that you can't uncouple serious discussions and concerns from just being pissy that your otp is not more popular, people are going to see you as someone who can't be taken seriously and then ignore you when you do have a real complaint. it's like how i'm sure that some of stitch's essays are thoughtful and important, but i have no desire to read stuff by someone who is infamous for harassing people just for what they ship. i don't feel like i can take any of that person's judgments about fandoms i'm not in, for instance, seriously.
that's not to say fandom preferences in shipping can't ever be influenced by racism (or other 'isms') but is it ever really *that* specifically that is the problem, or the broader pattern it is part of? and i feel like 'maybe fandom is a little too focused on het and slash ships between two young skinny conventionally attractive white people' is a message more people are open to than 'your specific white M/M or F/M otp is racist'
anyway it reminds me of the stuff i've seen sometimes in academic fandom studies about how you can't really honestly study a fandom where you're deeply mired in its discourse - you need to focus your work on fandoms that you're familiar with but not in that way. and i think that maybe also applies to some of these discussions about fandom racism and misogyny. maybe you're just going to have better takes on something when you're not deeply invested in other unrelated arguments about it, like about which ship is the most popular. like i could not care less about star wars shipping and have zero take in reylo vs. finnrey, so that's why i feel like i could trust my perception that the way a small minority of reylos were posting about john boyega's instagram posts was racist. it didn't matter if he was genuinely being a jerk to them or about their ship. he obviously wasn't a 'predator' and it was pretty telling language for a group of largely white people to use about a black man making fun of their ship on a different social media site.
--
The laying pipe thing was blown so out of proportion, yes. Call it sexist, sure, but it wasn't fucking predatory.

okay it is now morning and i am here to talk about people in this fandom being weird about ashley johnson's characters but mostly fearne because i am way too in love with fearne for my own well-being.
because it doesn't stem from nothing. a lot of ashley's characters got truncated by her irl jobs where she was forced to miss sessions and a lot of people would rather just roll with her not being there rather than take the time and effort to give her more detail. oh, that's pike. she's grog's little buddy and likes scanlan. oh, that's yasha. she's mollymauk's best friend and beau's girlfriend. unless you're a massive fan of them or of ashley then nobody really talks about them outside of set dressing for fanfic.
and now that ashley is a full time cast character with fearne, i don't think people know what to do with her. they can't just file her away because she has strong ties to not just the other pcs, but to the overarching story of the entire campaign. and she's not this subtle, quiet, stoic or a devout gentle cleric that they can mill down into being "mom friends" 🙄, she is big and bold and in your face and full of energy! she takes the spotlight and runs with it! she's so far detached from what people assume An Ashley PC is that people aren't sure how to approach her. so, unfortunately, she and her backstory is oft ignored for the sake of other characters she's related to.
and it's not just any particular ship that does this more than the others, it's pretty much every single campaign ship that has ever been made. fearne is simply either a wingman to ensure the author's favorite OTP gets that little nudge in the right direction or she's the goddamn trophy wife for whichever character she's shipped with (not you imogearne fans, you are a delight to have around). and all of her interactions or decisions EVER are played off as jokes or flirting.
i want people to talk about the coin flip without making her out to be selfish! i want people to talk about her own fears about rudius and being ruidusborn and how she's worried it'll affect her and the fact that if ludinus wins, it'll destroy the feywild (i feel like literally everyone forgot that?), i want her to be open about all the times she's almost died and how much she loves unconditionally and how it intersects with her own honest-to-god fears about actually being in a serious relationship. AND THE SHARD THAT'S SHE'S SCARED OF TAKING MAC I BEEN DYING TO TALK ABOUT THE SHARD-
my point here is that fearne is an actual character outside of ships and shipping drama and "The Bit" that has fears and anxieties just like the rest of them. if you can complain that people don't take chetney seriously or if people are too harsh on orym or that people think all of sam's characters are jokes then why can't she get any respect on her name?

ok question. silver is from an apocolypse future and went back in time to try and fix it right? i was under the impression that blaze was ALSO from that future and went back in time with him. but apparently she's a princess from another dimension? what?
Okay so here's the rundown:
Blaze was created for and introduced in Sonic Rush (2005), where she is FIRMLY established as the princess in a long line of guardians of her dimension's versions of the chaos emeralds, the Sol Emeralds, and the longtime rival of her version of Eggman, Eggman Nega. Rush Adventure expands her dimension's worldbuilding a bit more but Rush is important because Blaze makes her first friend ever (Cream, then Sonic)
Sonic Rush was popular
Sonic 06 was rushed as HELL. FAMOUSLY rushed as hell. They pushed that shit out with more glitches than lines of code
Blaze appears in that game as Silver's friend from his future. It is never established why or how she is there, and she only seems to recognize Sonic once– in the English Dub, in the Japanese she doesn't at all. Sonic does not recognize her either despite this occurring after Rush in the timeline. The two of them are in the same room at least once and do not speak to each other. At the end of the game Blaze is like "I'll seal the demon inside myself in a.... parallel dimension. yeah that sounds right" and goes poof and we never see her again
Except??????? Blaze couldn't have just poofed there girl has a whole-ass FAMILY LINE in a dimension with DEEP LORE like???
Also, aside from like. basic NPC quests? Blaze also doesn't speak to anyone in that game aside from Silver– it's not just Sonic she ignores. Not Mephiles, not Amy, not Elise. ONLY Silver. She is the only one to interact with him and vice-versa.
A lot of us read into that a lot of ways the but the honest truth is she was probably yeeted into the game late in development cause they realized Silver needed someone to talk to.
Other evidence for this is that her '06 profile mentions stuff about her that was not in Rush– for instance, an Elsa-Gloves Cape that she only had in Rush's concept art. This implies that they got the bare minimum information and just threw some shit at the wall. They were like "okay. cape, other dimension, fire powers. got it" and missed like. the emeralds and eggman and self-isolation and. princess
The best thing to come out of this tho is Blaze and Silver's brOTP. (or OTP if you're into that) Though the '06 timeline was erased, Silver and Blaze have a familiarity with each other in Colors DS that they can't quite place, and show up as buddies in a lot of media and it's so fucking cute I love them
tl;dr play or watch the sonic rush games

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 87- Wild N Out
Chapter Summary: Jennie guest stars on the show Wild N' Out with Angelina. Matt Rife tries to shoot his shot with Jennie while he has been in her DMs for weeks.
Words: 8,000+
Author's Note: Wild N Out is one of my favorite shows! If you aren't familiar with it, I highly recommend watching YouTube videos about the show. They have their own channel and have tons of videos for you to get an idea of the different games and banter they have.
This is one of my favorite chapters! It was so fun to write and edit!
If you are easily offended or aren't that into jokes, perhaps this show and chapter are not for you and you are welcome to skip it.
I used some of the lines from the Wild N Out YouTube videos I've been watching to add to the chapter. So I hope you like it! I liked the build up for this. It started tame and then got crazier.
--------
"Your hair~! Finally, she has dyed her hair! You give Justina Valentine a run for her money," Angelina giggled and pulled Jennie in for a tight embrace.
Jennie flew to LA to join Angelina and stay with her for a little while before they flew to Georgia for their Wild N Out recording.
"Haha, thanks sis! I still need to hide my hair from the public. So human hair wigs it is,"
"I'll help you put it on,"
"Jennie! You're here! I've missed you!" Angelina's little brother, Tyrone, pushed Angelina away and went to hug her.
"Rude!" Angelina complained.
Jen laughed. "I'm happy to see you. You're getting taller,"
"I know! I'll be taller than you one day," he grinned.
"I see it,"
"And for the record, she has a boyfriend. So stop drooling," Angelina called him out.
"Still? Aw, when are you gonna break up with him?" he whined, causing Jennie to giggle.
"Dummy, she is not breaking up with him! Nobody is ruining our OTP! Now if you don't mind, we need to catch up, so leave us be,"
"Can you play video games with me later, Jennie?" he ignored his sister who looked offended by that.
"Sure," she beamed. "I'll play some games with you, later on,"
"It's a date!"
"Oh Lord..." Angelina rolled her eyes and grabbed Jennie to drag her to her room.
She shut the door and locked it so her brother wouldn't barge in. Laying on the bed, Jennie joined her and they began to catch up.
"Soooooo, how are the boys? They surviving well without you?" Angelina asked.
"From what I heard, not really. They're struggling a bit," Jen laughed. "But they're doing all right. Just working on the comeback. With Yoongi, Agust D is a huge success. I'm so proud of him,"
"I heard! He has BARS! A to the G to the U to the STD! That song is hot! I heard you played the guitar for a couple of his songs,"
Jen stared at her in surprise. "You noticed?"
"You have a unique sound. It's easy to tell it's you because of how you play. I think it's amazing you're doing that. The boy always has such a soft spot for you. It's so cute,"
"That is true. Namjoon is working pretty hard on the album. A lot is on his plate,"
"Yeah, he told me and kept apologizing for not having much time to talk with me. But it's cool. I get that way when I'm working on new music,"
"To tell you the truth, he's pretty stressed. And so am I. I keep thinking about my song. I just don't think it's going to be well received. Part of me wants to change it but they're not going to do that, everything is set in stone,"
Angelina playfully nudged her shoulder. "I'm sure you'll be fine. You'll be singing your truth and how you feel. Don't even worry about it or pay attention to any negativity. Focus on performing it when you guys go on tour,"
"Speaking of our tour when it's announced, I hope we get to go to more American dates. Big Hit is underestimating how many people around the world want to see us. K-Pop is getting more attention as the years go by. We need a real-world tour this time. Not just Asia, a few places in Europe, and so on. I want to go everywhere and perform with BTS. So, how is life with you?"
"I've been just doing more shows on TV as a guest star and doing collaborations. Also working on the new music. Things are getting there."
"You excited for Wild N' Out, soon?"
"Oh, you know it! I am always~ on that show! Are you excited? You get to have a chance of getting a belt! I'll have you know I won the belt quite a few times,"
"I expect nothing less from you. And yeah, I am excited, too. I'm not much of a rapper although I'm still learning from Yoongi but I hope I can spit a few bars to win some points,"
"You'll do fine. It'll come naturally. I hope they don't roast you too much. Expect them to come after the boys, though,"
"Mentally preparing. I will defend Bangtan's honor. It'll be a fun experience,"
"I really wish I was a part of the cast," Angelina sighed at the idea.
She had been a fan for years and always felt like she could be a great cast member of the show. She nailed it when it came to the games with her quick wit.
"To be a part of the show, ugh that would be awesome. I love the show so much. I feel so...at home there," she went on.
"Have you thought about asking Nick?" Jennie asked as she pondered about Nick Cannon.
"What? No way. I feel like that'll be too...forward. I mean I like being a guest on the show, so it's all right. And like Justina, she is so damn good at what she does on the show. I feel like I can't compare."
"Angelina, you'd be a great addition. Talk to him,"
"Ah...you flatter me. It's all right, just forget about it, okay? Anyway, let's watch a movie. I'm feeling Waiting To Exhale. What do you think?"
"Yeah, let's watch it. I'll make the popcorn,"
Jennie made a mental note to talk with Nick. Maybe she can help her. Angelina was stubborn and too modest about these things. But Jen could give her that extra push.
As Jennie and Angelina watched the movie, they laughed at the awkward sex scene.
"Grr?" Jen laughed. "Oh my gosh..."
"I hate men who do that. It's so weird. Why you so extra with it?" Angelina cringed. "And what's even more embarrassing is that she ain't even enjoying it,"
"Have you had a bad lay?"
"Oh hell yeah! Oh my God, there's this one guy I met at an after-party of an award show, right? Way before Namjoon. He was flirting it up, saying all the right things. He was talking all this mad shit about him having girls not walk the next day, right? This man lasted like 30 seconds and fell asleep. I was so mad. I pushed him off the bed and cussed his ass out for tryna play me,"
"Yikes~! That's uh..."
"I know! I feel like the guys who don't talk much about their skills are the best ones because they know how to put it down. And a lot of these guys I've encountered like to brag about their size but don't know what the heck to do with it. All talk, no action. It's annoying,"
"Damn..."
"But don't you worry. You have nothing to worry about when it comes to that,"
"You have a favorite part when it comes to that?"
"If anything, I would say that pillow talk is the best part for me after everything is done. You'll love it." Angelina said enthusiastically. "I feel like you and Jungkook will just be vibing and enjoying each other's company after that special moment. Watch you two be talking about video games and then end up playing some video games afterward,"
"I mean, it could happen. I see it," she giggled.
"Is Jungkook a cuddler with you?"
"Yeah, all the time,"
"That'll be the best, having you in his arms. You'll see. I usually leave after doing it but with Namjoon, it's so different. I like listening to him. I can listen to him talk for hours. We go into some deep conversations, too. He's so smart,"
"That he is, sis,"
As they continued to watch the film, they watched as Angela Bassett's character put all of her husband's items on fire. Jen was shocked at how real the scene looked as her character yelled and cussed about him.
She shook her head. "He took all the money and left her with the kids. Ridiculous. Divorcing her for that white woman,"
"I know, ain't it screwed up? Men really ain't shit. Wasted all those years of marriage to end up like this? I'd be so mad." Angelina added.
"You and I both,"
And once the office scene between Angela's character and her husband came about, Jen continued to be speechless at how they shouted at each other.
"Man, I'm amazed at how much rage you can have when someone cheats on you,"
"Can you imagine?"
"I can't even imagine it. And I never want to."
As the movie went on, Angelina chuckled after thinking about Matt Rife, "So...Matt really all in your DMs?"
"Yes! Oh my gosh. And he comments on a lot of my stuff, too. I replied to tell him I wasn't interested but he's still trying to spit game and I've been ignoring the messages. Did you see he's following some of my fan accounts?"
"Wow~! How do you think it'll be on the show?"
"I'm hoping it won't be too bad and that he learned his mistakes from Zendaya,"
"We'll see, sis. He wants you bad,"
"I'll let him down gently,"
"Well, if he gets too much, then make sure you embarrass his ass on TV,"
When the movie was over, Jennie spoke, "Hey, you know how I have occasionally talked about wanting a tattoo? I want to get one before I go back to Korea. Big Hit gave me the okay. I want to get the friendship tattoos with you,"
"Oooh! Let's do it. You still have the idea you showed me on your phone, right?"
"Uh huh. We just need to figure out where we want to get the tats,"
Angelina took out her laptop. "Let's research!"
---------
For the Wild N' Out taping, Nick Cannon had excitedly opened up the show and shouted out DJ D-Wrek and the Wild N' Out girls.
"There are two teams battling head to head to see whose the funniest. And usually, it's my team cause I be cheating. I'm just gonna put it out there like that," Nick joked. "And I changed it up this season. We doing it bigger and better. I want y'all to make some noise for my new squad! It's the Gold squad!"
For this episode, the Gold Squad consisted of DC Young Fly, Becky Robinson, Darren Brand, Emmanuel, Karlous Miller, and Matt Rife.
"And we have a very special guest. She is the reoccurring champion here on Wild N' Out, one of the youngest and most successful up and coming rappers today, and can kick your ass if you cross her, give it up for my girl, Angelina~!"
Angelina walked out excitedly, wearing a Gold Squad hoodie, and gave Nick a big hug.
"How you feel!?" he asked.
"Elated man, elated! This my happy place, I love it here!" she beamed, earning loud cheers.
"It's good to have you back. You ready to get down, today?"
"Hell yeah, always,"
"All right, that's what I like to hear!" he replied as she went over to her team. "I can't even front, we got a little bit of competition this episode. It goes down. Y'all make some noise for the team with the dream, it's Platinum!"
The Platinum Squad walked out consisting of Timothy DeLaGhetto, Justina Valentine, Chico Bean, Hitman Holla, Conceited, and Charlie Chips. Nick then proceeded to announce Desiigner as one of the co-captains of the team.
After shouting him out, he went to announce Jennie. "Now we have another special guest here to represent the Platinum Squad as the co-captain. Someone here to try to take my belt. Not only is she singing in Korean but she is also sticking to her roots and bringing it down in the K-Pop scene! Y'all make some noise for my girl Jennie~!"
Jennie walked out with a big smile, waving at the crowd as everyone cheered. She had on a curly human haired wig that resembled her natural hair to hide the comeback color. Along with ripped jeans, she wore a cropped Wild N' Out platinum hoodie.
"Jennie, today you get a chance to take my belt, how you feeling? You ready?" Nick asked after embracing her.
"Born ready. Let's do this!" she said happily.
"Confident! I like that! Let's get to it then! Platinum squad y'all make some noise for your team captains over here!"
As things settled down, Nick went on to announce the first game. "This is a classic game we like to call Let Me Holla. It's real simple. We bring a Wild N Out girl to the stage, and each cast member gets the opportunity to holla at her. Now if it's funny, it gets a bell. If it's not funny, it gets a buzzer. The team with the most bells wins. Y'all know how we do. Y'all ready? Let's wil' out,"
Once the Wild N Out girl arrived on the stage, Darren Brand suddenly made a dive over to her, sliding on the floor. He then got back to his feet.
"I just slid in yo' DMs," he said, making everyone laugh.

Next up was Conceited and Hitman Holla to represent the Platinum team as they approached the Wild N Out girl.
"'ight watch this. What's up, baby?" Hitman Holla greeted her with a charming smile, making her giggle. "You remind me of the 20 letters of the alphabet,"
"There's fuckin' 26 letters of the alphabet," Conceited called him out, making everyone laugh.
"Silly me. How could I forget that U, R, A, C, T," he flirted as everyone cheered.
"Okay, that was smooth," Jennie said, impressed with his game.
"No, no, hell no, that's only 25!" Conceited brought up to DJ D-Wrek. "He still missing one! He can't count!"
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Silly me," Hitman Holla apologized before moving in close to the girl. "You can get that D later,"
That statement caused the crowd to go wild along with the cast members who were shooked.

Chico Bean pretended that he was ordering something. "Let me get a number two...one three and the rest of them digits,"
The girl didn't seem too impressed and neither did the crowd and he was met with a buzzer.
Angelina casually wandered over to the girl with a smile. "What's up, baby?"
"What's up?" she smiled.
"Now, if I wasn't buying this drink, would you still check me out?" she revealed a can of lime-a-rita which made the girl laugh.

'Okay, I think I got one,' Jennie thought and stood up, walking over to the girl.
For this, she pretended to look disappointed. She let out a sigh and rubbed the back of her neck.
"Man...I'm so bummed," she said.
"Why is that?" the Wild N Out girl asked.
"I wish we could go to the movies together. But they don't allow snacks in," she replied as she was met with giggles and cheers from the crowd.

Matt Rife chuckled softly at her pickup line as he gazed at her.
'Man, you are cute...' he thought to himself.
Ever since she walked on the stage, his eyes were on her. He was definitely getting distracted.
With Jennie, she felt that someone was watching her and glanced over to catch Matt staring. He quickly looked away, trying not to make it obvious but she knew what he was doing.
And so it begins.
The question on her mind was, what was he going to do?
As the game progressed, the teams went on to give out the smoothest pickup lines, with Platinum and Gold being tied at five points. Matt Rife approached the stage and the crowd cheered for him, anticipating what he was going to say.
"Wow. You are beautiful," he complimented the girl. "Now, as much as I would like to shoot my shot at you, there is someone else in this room that I've had my eye on for a while now and I want to holla at her instead,"
The crowd and cast got hyped up, anticipating his plan once Matt turned around and put his attention on Jennie.
"Ohhh shit!" Desiigner yelled as Jen's stomach dropped.
"Oh, word!?" Nick shouted.
"Wait! Wait! This is against the rules!" Conceited complained. "It's supposed to be the Wild N' Out girl! Not our co-captain! Leave her alone!"
"Give him a chance!" DC Young Fly defended him.
"He gon' embarrass himself! Zendaya 2.0" Hitman Holla claimed as that made the crowd laugh more.
"No, he not!" Darren Brand spoke.
"Yeah, so chill! I want to see this!" Emmanuel replied, hushing everybody.
Matt had made it very clear ever since Jen was announced to be on the show, that he was quite fond of her and wanted to shoot his shot. He had to at least try to flirt with her. He also wanted to redeem himself from the whole Zendaya fiasco.
"Um, are you serious?" Angelina complained. "She is wayyy out of your league,"
"Aye! You're supposed to be on his side, we're a team," Nick pointed out.
"Here he go," Justina Valentine chuckled while Matt's team cheered him on.
Jen felt her face flush at the commotion. She wasn't expecting to be put on the spot this soon. It was only the first game!
After the commotion died down, Matt went up to Jennie and gently grabbed her hand. He watched as she stood up to face him. His gaze on her grew more intense as he gave her a charming smile.
Yeah, Matt is a handsome guy. But in Jennie's eyes, no one could compare to her man, Jungkook.
"Jennifer Walker...wow..." he checked her out. "Damn, you look so beautiful today,"
She smiled politely as he released her hand. "Thank you,"
"I watched American Hustle Life. I heard you're into older guys,"
Ah, he must have watched the clips of her gushing over Tony.
"I have said that, yes,"
"Now, I'm single and I'm a few years older than you so that's a check off your list. And I hear you have this thing called an ideal type...you talked about what you want in a man,"
"I have," she agreed, surprised at how much research he put into this.
"All your reasons are valid. And I fit the description. But I couldn't help but wonder about your ideal type in a more physical way. I bet you want a man that has experience. Somebody that knows exactly..." he leaned in close. "...what he's doing and how to take care of a queen like you. Somebody that can handle all that. I'm that man,"
His statement caused the crowd and both teams to go wild. So much commotion surrounded Jennie as she processed what he had said. She became amused at his bold statement and maintained eye contact. He was not going to fluster her. No way.
Oh, how she wanted so badly to say she had a boyfriend on National Television. But she refrained and decided for this game to let Matt have his fun. She'll think of something to embarrass and shut him down in one of the next games. This won't be the last of the flirting.
'Ooooooo he about to die~,' Angelina thought with amusement, thinking about what Jungkook and the rest of Bangtan were going to think of this when this aired.
This was getting juicy. She thought about Jungkook's reaction, how Jennie was going to handle Matt during the show, and if Matt was going to flirt more later on. She decided to let nature take its course and not get involved. Since the Amity days, Angelina would always come to her aid in situations. But over the years, she has seen Jennie hold her own and was interested to see how she was going to handle this Matt situation during the recording. If she could have some popcorn to go with this entertainment, she would as she watched Jennie laugh softly and gently push Matt away since he got a little too close.
He took a few steps back from her light push and asked, "You don't have a boyfriend, do you?"
"And if I do?" Jennie replied smoothly.
"If you do?" he ran a hand through his hair, "Well, I can confidently say that he won't be your boyfriend for long,"
'HA! He is so thirsty! How delusional can you be!?' Angelina thought as she snorted at his response.
Jen couldn't help but chuckle at that. He really thought he had a chance? If he thought she was going to leave Jungkook for him, he was sadly mistaken.
"And what makes you so confident?" she asked.
"You may not hear a lot about the girls I've had and I may not have as many as some of these guys on stage but just know my satisfaction rate is higher. And you can find all that out later if you let me have your number," he offered with a soft smirk.
The crowd hollered at his words and a series of dings were heard.
"Yes! That is what I'm talking about!" Darren Brand praised with Nick.
Once Matt heard the bell for his team, he smiled victoriously and grabbed her hand to give it a soft kiss. Releasing her hand, he sent her a wink and went back to his team, high fiving Nick and some of the other cast members.
'Celebrate while you can Matt. This is far from over,' Angelina thought to herself as she anticipated what Jennie was going to do.
"DJ D-Wrek! Who won that?" Nick asked.
"Gold team got the most bells," he announced as the Gold team celebrated.
-------
"For this next one is a classic game I like to call talking spit. You know how it go. We gon' have some Wild N' Out girls bring out chairs, some water, and some buckets out here. Myself and Miss Jennie are gonna sit down in chairs, fill our mouths with water and each team member is going to get the opportunity to make us laugh so hard that we spit our water out. The team that makes you spit the most, wins the game! Real easy! Y'all ready? Jennie, come on up here, please,"
Jennie smiled and got up from sitting with her team. Taking a seat across Nick, she sipped some water, holding it in her mouth. All she had to do was try not to laugh that much. Hopefully, she can win for her team this time. She wanted that belt.
"Gold squad wil' out!" DJ D-Wrek announced.
Angelina decided to go first, smiling mischievously at her best friend. Jen knew what was up and narrowed her eyes.
"Yo, Jen, I ain't even gonna hold you...I may need to steal a few of them smart-"
Quickly spitting out her water, she shouted, "Hell no!" which made everyone laugh.

"Ha-ha~! Works every time!" Angelina said victoriously.
"It's on sight after the show," Jen added and was answered by Angelina sticking her tongue out at her.

Chico Bean stood behind Jennie and began to make an improv song, dancing while she joined in, dancing in her seat, "A wha-a wha-a wha-a wha. I said I'm chico bean, yeah you heard what I said. Me and Jennie both got some big ass heads!"
She chuckled as she threw her head back, keeping the water in.
"...yeah you know what it is. No, I ain't gonna stunt, mine big in the back, hers big in the front," he went on as Nick was struggling to keep the water in. "Hey, uh, water wet wet and when we put our shirt on we make the neck stretch. I say uh, hey, the water wet wet and when we put the shirt on we make the neck stretch!"
Once DC Young Fly jumped in to do the shoot dance, Nick couldn't help but spit out his water and laugh. Jennie high fived Chico Bean for getting the team the point.

Emmanuel stood behind Nick and waved at Jennie. She politely waved back and listened eagerly to what he had to say.
"I've been thinking about this. This is all curiosity. I've seen some photos and I want to know what you think," he went on as she watched him curiously at what he was getting at.
He took out a printed photo of the BTS members and their "coconut" haircuts. "I don't know how you do it, Jennie. Do you ever just stare at BTS and be like, damn! What is with them and that yee yee coconut ass haircuts they got on?" he said, causing her to immediately spit out her water, turning to the side.
Nick spat out his too while she covered her mouth, laughing wholeheartedly.

"Why he do them like that?" Angelina asked, cracking up with the rest of the cast members.

After wiping her mouth with a Wild N' Out towel, Jen put more water in her mouth as Tim DeLaGhetto went up to get Nick to laugh.
"Nick, when I listen to a Nick Cannon album it gives me a special feeling y'know," Tim began. "Like when you wake up feeling good, right? You get in the shower you all fresh, you feelin' nice. And then you gotta take a shit right after?"
The audience laughed while Nick spat out the water.

DC YoungFly walked up behind Nick and pointed at her.
"I will make you laugh, little girl!" he said, making her smile in amusement.
The two battled in a stare down for a moment as everyone watched in anticipation.
"FIRE~!" he suddenly shouted, making her widen her eyes. "FIRE~! FI-RRRRRRRREEEEEEEEE~!"
As she heard him sing Bangtan's song, she struggled to keep the water in her mouth.
"You didn't spit, yet? Man! That's the only lyric I know. It seemed to be working so FI-RRRRRRREEEEEEEEE~!"
Thinking on his feet, he thought of the other English that he heard from the song. "Everybody say LA-LA-LA-LA-LA! Say LA-LA-LA-LA-LA! I do-ont know the rest of thee-ee woor-oor-oor-ords!" he said on beat for Jimin's part.
Nick pointed at Jennie and it looked like she was about to spit as she covered her mouth, leaning forward. He stomped his feet at a rapid rate while pointing as he stood up. But in the end, they both kept the water in their mouths.
Charlie Chips stood behind her next.
"Keep the water in your mouth if you think Angelina is real..." he said to Nick as Nick nodded and kept the water in his mouth. "Keep the water in your mouth if you think Justina is real...Okay, come over here," he asked for the Wild N' Out girl, Teresa Top Notch, to join him on stage.
"Keep the water in your mouth if you think everything about this is real." he went on, gesturing to Teresa, as Nick continued to do so.
Jennie watched as Teresa spun around and posed, looking as beautiful as ever.
"You see Nick? This is my whole thing," Charlie ended up snatching the wig off Teresa once she began walking away.
She was left in her wig cap which caused Nick to spit out his water and run out of his seat while loud laughter and screams surrounded Jennie.

Jennie covered her mouth, laughing while Teresa started to playfully hit Charlie. Miss Bangtan was glad she didn't get her wig snatched off. That would have been disastrous since she was trying to hide her new hair color for the comeback.
"You shut up! Sit down! It ain't funny!" Teresa laughed and pointed at Nick to get back in his seat.
"Wow...I was not expecting that," Nick said on the mic once he got back in his seat.
As the game continued, both teams were tied up yet again, and this time with Gold catching up to the Platinum team, 4 to 4.
Matt Rife took the stage and stood behind Nick. Everybody was wondering what he was going to do after the stunt he pulled on Let Me Holla. Anything could happen.
"Now this is a win/win situation for me. So, it's all up to you on how you want to do this, baby girl," he announced, making her confused.
PAUSE!
One, did he call her the nickname Jungkook likes to call her?
And two, what the hell did he mean by win/win situation?
Jennie raised an eyebrow while Angelina began freaking out in her head that Matt called her baby girl.
"If you want me to kiss you, keep that water in your mouth," Matt requested.
Jennie snorted in amusement while making an effort to keep the water in her mouth. Meanwhile, the audience and cast were shooked at his boldness and started freaking out.
"Kiss who?!" Conceited shouted.
"Kiss where!?" Chico Bean added.
"Not this again!" Karlous Miller laughed.
"Matt really got some balls today, huh?" Desiigner laughed.
"She has a choice! If she keeps the water in her mouth, that'll let me know she wants me to kiss her and I'll kiss her," Matt explained. "Spit it out, well then that's one extra point for my team. Like I said. Win. Win,"
Angelina covered her mouth. She mentally saw Matt's grave get dug deeper. She already thought about Jungkook wanting to beat his ass when he watches this episode. Oh gosh, Jungkook. When this episode dropped, she wanted to get all the tea on Bangtan's reactions.
Jennie continued to process what was happening. She felt like Matt was bluffing. There was no way in the world. Not after Zendaya. Another thing was she wanted to win. She did not want to lose this game. Her eyes were on that belt. To take it back to Big Hit and place it in her studio.
She watched him as he began to walk over to her while the crowd was cheering in anticipation.
"Jennie, spit out that water!" DC Young Fly shouted. "Spit it out, now!"
"Spit it out!" Becky Robinson joined in.
"No~! Hold that water in! We need the point!" Charlie Chips said.
"Hold that water in! Hold it! We need the point! We need the point! Take one for the team!" Tim yelled.
"You sure you want to kiss him, baby?" Justina asked her.
The constant yelling of the teams made the pressure in the situation rise as she continued to keep her water in.
"Don't do it! Resist!" Hitman Holla shouted. "This white boy is not going to win this game! Keep it in the mouth!"
Matt kneeled in front of Jennie. "Make a move, quickly. You gonna accept my kiss or spit that water out?" he teased, raising an eyebrow.
'So, this the game you playing? Bring it. Come closer...I dare you,' Jen thought, narrowing her eyes.
Angelina bit her lip in anxiousness as she watched the scene unfold.
'Girl, what are you about to do?' she thought.
As Matt inched closer to her face, puckering his lips, Jennie ended up slapping him in the face to block his advances. That caused Nick to spit out his water and laugh with the rest of the studio.
When he got slapped, Matt stumbled to the floor and held his cheek in surprise.
"GIRL!" Angelina laughed out loud, holding her stomach.
Miss Bangtan never ceased to surprise her. This was hilarious and a perfect reaction.
DING DING DING DING
"REJECTED~!" Platinum squad hollered and jumped up and down in excitement and laughter.
"Damn, can you slap me again? That was hot. Playing hard to get, I see," Matt laughed and got back up on his feet, rubbing the side of his face.
Jennie looked taken aback by his reaction.
He...liked the slap?
She swallowed the water and spoke in Korean with a smile, saying that he was an idiot for trying that cheap stunt and she was going to punch him if he ever did that again.
"I dunno what she just said but it was hot," he replied with a chuckle.
"Y'all make some noise for our girl, Jennie! Thanks for being such a good sport!" Nick praised and went to high five her once the Platinum team won the game.

"Y'all ready for the next game? It's a fun one, it's called Now You Wild Out. We gon' drop the beat, we gon' bring both teams up and DJ D-Wrek is gon' give us some topics and we wild out and improv about it right on the spot. The team with the most bells wins the game. Y'all ready? Gold team step up. Platinum step up. DJ D-Wrek drop the beat!" Nick announced as an instrumental of 50 Cent's In Da Club came on. "Uh! Come on y'all, uh! Now you wild out!"
"Your topic is going to court," DJ D-Wrek announced.
"Now you wild out!" everyone chanted.
In a whiny voice, Nick started, "I don't wanna go to jail, I don't wanna go to jail, I don't wanna go to jail, now you wild out!"
Pretending to get handcuffed, Chico Bean shouted, "You goin' to jail! You goin to jail! You goin' to jail! Now you wild out!"
"My lawyer's white! My lawyer's white! My lawyer's white! Now you wild out!"
"You bout to be in the cell! You bout to be in the cell! You bout to be in the cell! Now you wild out!"
Scared by his statement, Nick covered his butt and shouted, "Not with you! Not with you! Not with you! Now you wild out!"
"Pause! I'm going out!" Chico Bean quickly walked away, making everyone laugh.

"Your topic is the zoo!" DJ D-Wrek announced as Emmanuel and Hitman Holla went at it.
Playing the part, Emmanuel began to act like the animal as he announced, "I'm a monkey with it, I'm a monkey with it, I'm a monkey with it, now you wild out!"
"Well I'm a bird with it," Hitman Holla flapped his arms like they were wings. "I'm a bird with it, I'm a bird with it, now you wild out!"
"I'm a lion! I'm a lion! I'm a lion! Now you wild out!"
Hitman hesitated and that allowed the Gold team to get another point.

"I'm gettin' free drinks, gettin' free drinks, gettin' free drinks, now you wild out!" Angelina replied, pretending to be given drinks.
"I'm dancing on yo' man!" Justina got close to her, twerking. "...dancin' on your man, dancin' on your man, now you wild out!"
Thinking about Namjoon, Angelina replied, "And I'm beatin' your ass, beatin' your ass, beatin' your ass, now you wild out!"
Her statement made everyone laugh and she got the point for her team.

"Your topic is being rich!" DJ D-Wrek announced as Tim and Darren went at it.
Kicking his feet up, Tim shouted, "Shine my shoes, bitch! Shine my shoes, bitch! Shine my shoes, bitch! Now you wild out!"
"You want a latte? You want a latte?" Darren pretended like he giving out drinks, "You want a latte? Now you wild out!"
"I'm Nick Cannon! I'm Nick Cannon! I'm Nick Cannon! Now you wild out!"
"I own this! I own this! I own this! Now you wild out!"
Tim fumbled his words and Gold received another point.

The Gold team was truly kicking some tail with their quick wit. Wanting to try to get a point, Jennie stepped up.
"Oh, Jennie? You want a shot at this?" Nick looked surprised as the crowd cheered.
"Yeah! I'll go!" she answered with a smile and danced to the beat.
"Oh, then it's my turn, now!" Matt stepped up.
"Oh, here he goes, about to get embarrassed again," Hitman Holla said, making everyone laugh.
"I got this. I got this," Matt reassured everyone.
"Would you leave my girl, alone? She's not interested!" Angelina called out.
"Chill~. Don't be a cockblock,"
"She don't want you, dumbass,"
"Your topic is relationships," DJ D-Wrek announced.
"Now you wild out," the audience said while both teams danced to the beat again. "Now you wild out!"
Matt looked directly at Jennie with a flirty smile. "You into white boys? You into white boys? You into white boys? Now you wild out!"
Shrugging, Jen waved him away. "I am but not you, I am but not you, I am but not you, now you wild out!"
Her comment made everyone laugh wholeheartedly while Matt continued to remain persistent.
"Give me a chance!" he replied while his team backed him up by looking like they were begging her to say yes. "...give me a chance, give me a chance, now you wild out!"
Dancing to the beat, she remained unbothered. "No way, no way, no way, now you wild out!"
"You know you want this," he flexed his arms. "...you know you want this, you know you want this, now you wild out!"
Looking around confused with her team, she stated, "Who lied!? Who lied!? Who lied!? Now you wild out!" she pointed at him.
"I still smashed," he shrugged and jumped to the beat, causing the Gold team to look at him in surprise and get hyped. "...I still smashed, I still smashed, now you wild out!"
Thinking quickly on her feet, determined to not stutter, Jennie dropped it down low, balancing nicely as she moved her hips, knees, and ass up and down to the beat of the song, distracting him as both teams yelled. Laughter around the studio rose in volume when she spoke. "Was it in though? Was it in though? Was it in though? Now you wild out!"
"HEYYYYY, MISS WALKER!" Angelina shouted, loving her performance as she watched Jennie get back up, awaiting Matt's response.
Almost fumbling with his words, Matt managed to say, "M-my dick can definitely hit it right! And my tongue is better, my tongue is better, my tongue is better, now you wild out!"
Putting him out of his misery, Jennie grabbed onto Desiigner, letting him wrap an arm around her while she rocked to the beat with him. With Jungkook on her mind, she replied, "I've had better head, I've had better head, I've had better head, now you wild out!"
As soon as she pulled that stunt, everyone freaked out, while Matt couldn't think of a comeback for it.
Angelina smiled proudly at her. 'That's my girl!'

"Man! We had that!" Nick complained.
"So, I really can't get your number or something?" Matt whined to her.
"No, dumbass!" Angelina smacked him upside his head as the crowd laughed.
Desiigner high fived Jennie. "That was good! Good shit, good shit!"
Desiigner went on ahead to represent the team while DC Young Fly went up.
"Your topic is graduation," DJ D-Wrek announced as the energy in the room heightened with them both dancing.
"I fucked my teacher today!" Desiigner jumped on beat with his team following his movements. "I fucked my teacher today! I fucked my teacher today! Now you wild out!"
"You didn't make it!" DC pointed at him with his team. "You didn't make it! You didn't make it! Now you wild out!"
"I put my grrrrr on the desk! I slap my grrrrr on the desk! I slap my grrrrr on the desk, I slap my grrrr on the desk!"
Yelling and moving his body wildly, DC answered, "A KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA! A KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA! A KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA-KA! Now you wild out!"
Jennie laughed along with the entire studio. What the hell was going on?
Getting hyped like he was in the studio when making music, Desiigner began to do his one of signature adlibs with his team backing him up.
"EEEEEEYAAAA! KI KI AH! EEEEEEYAAAA! Now you wild out!"
Jennie loved that no one questioned it and went along with what those two were doing.
Moving his body vigorously with his team following him, DC shouted, "BOOP-BOP-BOP-BOP! BOOP-BOP-BOP-BOP! BOOP-BOP-BOP-BOP! Now you wild out!"
Determined, Desiigner crossed his arms. DC was speaking his language and he was not having it. He was going to win this battle.
Moving in rhythm, he responded, "Whoop-de-scoop, whoop-de-scoop, whoop-de-boop! Now you wild out!"
"You stupid! You stupid!" DC walked away, allowing the Platinum team to get the point although Gold had won the game.
-----
Their time on Wild N Out began to come to an end as they went on to the final round. Wildstyle. Jen had a blast and hoped that one day she could come back with better rhymes and play different games.
"We got Jennie and Desiigner holding it down for the Platinum squad while we got Angelina on the Gold squad, give it up! It's time for the bonus round and it's called the?" Nick announced.
"Wild-Style!" the audience shouted.
"Yep. Freestyle rapping here at Wild N' Out. We focus on them jokes so each punchline is one point added to your total score. So, the game can go either way. It's anybody's game, right now. Gold squad step up. Platinum squad step up. DJ D-Wrek, drop the beat!"
Once the beat started with both teams on stage, everyone moved to the beat while Nick encouraged the crowd to clap their hands.
"Uh. Clap your hands, y'all. Clap your hands, y'all. Yo, Miss Jennifer Walker, you a real big talker. After you left Amity, we forgot who you are. But don't worry, I'm sure Angelina can still make you a star,"

The crowd ooohed at his statement while Jennie kept her composure and let out a chuckle. When Angelina heard what he said, she widened her eyes.
He was not holding back today.
Nick continued. "You left one group so when you leavin' the other one? You tend to do that when you not having any fun."

Speaking her mind, Jennie went off. "Coming for me you must have a death wish. Bangtan is charting, where you at on the charts, bitch?"
Loud hollers were heard around the studio while Nick was taken aback that she had that energy in her. The way she put emphasis on 'bitch' threw him off.
'Suga is creating a monster,' Angelina thought as she dropped her jaw, impressed by how she fought back.

"Yo head look like a microphone! I can't believe you got a scar on your face. You still live at yo' momma's place. And you ain't got no house of your own. Nick keep spendin' yo money on phones,"
"You talkin' bout owning a house. Listen that's funky! I know somethin' bout you! You stay with yo' aunties!"

"Hol' up. You betta get the white girl cause she already dead," Karlous responded. "She got the red hair but what about the head? Is it fly? Do you know?" he turned to one of his teammates.
"I don't know," Emmanuel answered.
"Is she freaky?" Karlous went on.
"I don't know,"
"Is she a hoe?"
"Maybe so!"
"Well, then you will never fuckin' know," Justina answered as the audience went wild.
Jennie laughed out loud and high fived Justina. She aspired to be so quick to turn the tables like that. She had some thick skin.

Becky Robinson stepped up to represent the Gold team. "Jennie, sweetheart, get over here. Let me talk to you," she gestured to her as Jennie went back in front of her team. "Little miss high and mighty, the one that likes Nike. You say you can rap but I doubt that's likely."

"BTS, BTS, go back to them weird Asian boys. How the heck you go from Amity to trashier noise?" she questioned.

"Whew~!" Nick spoke up, thinking that was the end of the face off while the crowd responded in surprise that she went there to talk about her group.
"Weird?! Weird Asian boys!? BITCH!" Tim called out, ready to get involved in the freestyle. "Jennie, you got this or do you want me to go?"
Jennie turned to Tim and smiled in reassurance, telling him she got this, and turned back to Becky. "Bitch, I'll go back to my amazing Asian boys after I win this belt. You got three seconds to get the hell out of my face before you get a welt. Trashier noise? Girl, be for real. Compared to you, our music brings more appeal. You wouldn't last a day in Bangtan's shoes, let's make that clear. Bangtan is selling out venues faster than your career."
Everyone cheered loudly at her response while Becky broke out in laughter and nodded. Jennie high fived Tim as he cheered her on.

Now Jen had some unfinished business and turned her attention to Matt who was standing behind the Gold team, quiet as ever.
"Matt. Get over here," she called him out.
"Uh oh! Uh oh!" Nick hyped up the confrontation. "This gon' be good!"
Matt laughed and stood in front of her.
"Matt, your game is tired like Advil PM. I know I am desired but do me a favor and stop sliding in my DMs," she announced.
DING!
Matt nodded and spoke up, "Okay, I slid in your DMs but stop with the front. Stop being in denial with this reject Matt publicity stunt. I guarantee that after the show you'll be calling my phone. I meant what I said on Let Me Holla, so let me make your mind blown,"
DING!
Jen rolled her eyes. "Face it, just face it. You brainless, you brainless. You said your tongue is better but I think that's outrageous,"
"Outrageous? You know you want a demonstration! After that, you'll be asking for a bae-cation," he smiled confidently.
DING
"Cute. DJ D-Wrek, can you cut the beat, real quick?" she requested as a series of oohs were heard.
Angelina placed a hand over her heart, in surprise. "Nani!?" she exclaimed.
Oh, he was done for. Jennie was getting mad. She could tell by the annoyance on her face.
"Hm. Okay..." Jen prepared her thoughts and looked directly at him. "Matt, get it through your thick skull that I don't want you. I am not Zendaya from Disney, I can punch the shit out of you,"
Angelina continued to have her hand placed over her heart as she stared at her best friend in astonishment. She had leaned back as her reaction was priceless and was about to become a new meme.
Out of nowhere, Jennie began to speak in Korean, which made Matt look at her in confusion. She had talked about what a joke he was and turned to the camera to give Bangtan a shoutout and that she would be back in Korea soon.
Switching back to her native tongue, she put him out of his misery once and for all. "You ain't the first, you ain't the last but just know you will not be the one to smash. You might as well give up just like the others. All hot and bothered cause you can't get me under the covers. You only think with your second head so think of a new plan. But let's face it, Jennie don't want you, one minute man,"
After she finished, she dropped the mic. The studio was filled with loud hollers and laughter while Matt's face became flushed as he chuckled.
DJ D-Wrek repeatedly pressed the bell, indicating that it was all over.
DING DING DING DING DING DING DING
Angelina had cheered with the cast and she ended up falling dramatically on the floor during the commotion. Meanwhile, Desiigner got excited and patted Jennie on the back, praising her.
"Yo! DJ D-Wrek! Who won that!?" Nick shouted after everyone calmed down a bit and Angelina got back on her feet.
"I got to give it to the platinum squad! Make some noise for the platinum squad, yo!" he announced over everyone's cheers.
"Woo!" Jennie jumped up and down, excitedly as she celebrated with her team.
A Wild N Out girl came on stage with the belt and presented it to Jennie after she went to hug Nick.
"She came through and took my comedy championship!" Nick announced as she happily accepted the belt and raised it up in the air in victory. He then shouted out Desiigner and Angelina.
Jen let out a content sigh. This was awesome. She was glad she was able to do this, today. And now she got to take this title home. Another award for BTS.
"What do you want to say?" Nick asked her as he gave her the mic.
"This has been such a fun experience, thank you so much for having me! And shout out to BTS and BTS ARMY, I love y'all! Thank you!" she said.
She then switched to saying thank you in Korean for the boys and reiterated that she missed them and would be back very soon. After bowing, she was then hugged by Angelina and had her hand raised in victory.
"That's what we talkin' about! Everybody on they feet! And make some noise for Desiigner~!" Nick announced as he closed the show with a performance.
-----------
After recording, Jennie hung out with the cast to take pictures and discuss the show. The vibe was full of high energy as they laughed about their favorite moments and roasted Matt for being rejected. What Jen loved about it was that there were no hard feelings and people didn't take any of the disses seriously. If only more people could vibe like this.
"You did well! Great job, today!" Nick Cannon praised her.
"Aw, thank you! It's harder than it looks to think quickly on your feet. You guys got that," Jen grinned.
"It is but you held your own. Especially on wild style," he laughed at the memory of her calling Matt a one minute man.
That was the utmost disrespect and a huge blow to his ego.
"Ha! Had to hit him where it hurts. Can we take a selfie?"
"Yeah, let's do it,"
Taking out her phone, she gave it to him so he could raise it in the air for a quick photo of them smiling happily. She'll make sure to post it after her little social media break is over.
"Thanks so much for having me. This was a fun time," she beamed.
"Anytime! We hope to see you and Angelina back on the show sometime,"
"Most definitely. And speaking of Angelina, she really is in her element on your show, huh?"
"Got that right. In the last episode, she was in she went off on everybody. It was one of the highest-rated episodes to date. She a real gem,"
"That's Ang for you. One of the best. Have you thought about adding her as a cast member? She'd be a great addition!" she suggested excitedly.
She watched as Nick smiled at the idea and he discussed how well she would hold her own in the games with clever clapbacks and rhymes.
"She really would be a great addition, wouldn't she? I'ma talk to her. You think she'll want to?"
"Absolutely! She will accept with no hesitation,"
Jen felt pleased that it seemed like he was highly considering having Angelina join the cast. She hoped it went well when he talked with her. She knew how much it would mean to her if she got to be a permanent cast member.
Following some photos and mingling with other cast members, Jen went to hang out with Desiigner who still had a large grin on his face. What she loved the most about him was how positive he was and how happy he looked. His energy was infectious.
"Mama, you funny as shit. You a savage,"
She laughed. "Thanks. It was so fun teaming with you,"
"Likewise, mama,"
"I also think it is so dope and inspiring with what you accomplished. We're nearly the same age and you out here making moves ever since Panda dropped. I hope I can make an impact like that with my music,"
"I 'preciate that. It's all about the music and what we love to do. We both young and hungry in this industry. We gon' make it big,"
"Got that right. Heck, we could even make a few songs together,"
"Oh, hell yeah. For sure,"
The two took photos together and then with Angelina. Desiigner then took out his phone to take an Instagram video.
"Yoooo! With my girls! Beautiful black queens! Jennie and Angelina! You know what time it is! Wild N Out! Stay tuned, it's comin' out real soon! Ya-a-a!" he laughed.
"Platinum squad~! All day!" Jennie stuck her tongue out.
"Err-day!"
"Gold squad!" Angelina repped her team.
"Boooooo!" Jennie and Desiigner playfully said before they all laughed.
"Y'all some haters," Angelina playfully rolled her eyes and walked away from them as the video ended.
Once Desiigner went off to goof around with DC Young Fly, Matt approached her with a nervous smile.
"All right, I got the hint. I apologize for coming all over you like that," he chuckled nervously.
He did look pretty apologetic with his face looking a little pink.
"It's okay," she responded.
"B-but just know I'll still wait for you if you ever change your mind,"
She laughed. "Well, you'll have to wait forever,"
"Damn..." he sighed in defeat and nodded.
"I have a boyfriend, that's why," she proudly told him. "After rejecting you quite a few times as well as in the DMs, I thought you'd got the hint,"
"Wishful thinking,"
"Regarding my man and I, we're keeping things private until we are ready to announce it,"
"Okay, I respect it. Damn, whoever he is he's lucky,"
"Nah, I'm the lucky one," she smiled as she thought of how much she missed Jungkook.
"Man...your boys, especially your boyfriend and fanbase gon' kill me, huh?" he chuckled nervously at the thought, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Yeaaaaah, they are."

for the send a character game: you already know fam. ryoma🩵🩵
favourite thing about them
How do I choose... I like the weird bait and switch with his design,, like he looks so goofy and then you talk to the guy and he's the most mature guy out of the cast,, and despite his looks hes probably one of the more tragic characters right out the gate. His voice is a fucking jumpscare too,, is funny,, I like listening to his voice
least favourite thing about them
I wish Ryoma has more interactions with the cast like other than Shuichi.. like I'm going to be honest it felt as if he wasn't missed as much [I mean I think that's a problem with danganronpa in general where it seems like the students forget about other's deaths if no one was friends with them] Maybe that's Ryoma's fault for being so closed off but it would've been nice to see some kind of spark appearing with the other students before he died
favourite line
"You're...someone who lives in the sun. A place that's beyond my reach now... Someone like you remembering me in the back of your mind...that's all I need." 🥺
brOTP
He and Himiko should be epic best friends I think... Like I feel like maybe he sees a little bit of himself in Himiko [with her being depressed and unmovtivated] but the only difference between him and her is that Ryoma sees that Himiko has something to live for and has value in her life. I'd like to think Ryoma would try to subtly push Himiko into trying more and trying to find enjoyment in what she does...
OTP
You already know. Gonta :3
What can I say I'm a sucker for Sunshine x Grump.. [well in this case its more Depressed than Grump] Opposites attract I suppose
nOTP
Eh can't really think of one,, I think he'd be cool with almost anybody
random headcanon
Neck hurts from looking up at people lmao... [especially if they're over 6ft]
unpopular opinion
I think he woulda been a great survivor... just sayin...
song I associate with them
Mommy by R.I.P from the Twins In Paradise OST... The song has no lyrics but the vibes are just... it just sounds so tragic, like someone has just given up and their life is spiraling. plus! Twins In Paradise is about two girls who play tennis so ehehehe...
favourite picture of them
he's so dumfounded

OTP challenge - day 17
[link to day 16]
17: washing something
"Sherlock?", the name sounded from the laundry room, formed as a question by John Watson.
Sherlock hummed, doubting his flatmate would hear him but not caring. But said man kept going anyways, "Do you have any idea where my jumper is?"
"The hideous one?"
"You find all my jumpers hideous, I mean the grey one! I need to wash it!"
Sherlock eyed his bedroom door. "No idea."
*one week later*
"Where the hell is it?", John asked, kneeling on the floor, looking under the couch. Sherlock rather enjoyed the view.
"Where's what?", Sherlock asked, while continuing to eye John's arse.
"My jumper!", with that John stood up and flapped his arms, frustrated.
"I'm sure it's somewhere, you just gotta look better."
John grunted. "Thanks for your help, Sherlock." Annoyed sarcasm was floating from his voice.
*two weeks later*
"I don't get it!", a very grumpy John Watson stomped through the flat. Almost aggressively searching for the one jumper. The jumper! The John Watson jumper! He had to find it!
Out of a sudden spur, John marched into Sherlock's room without knocking. Sherlock, who was sitting on his bed, looked at him, startled. With John's jumper in his hands.
"Is that... my jumper?", John asked surprised.
Sherlock - looking caught - stared up at John. Looked at the jumper in his hands... and at John again. "It... might?"
"I'm... confused... Did you... keep it?"
"I... might have.", Sherlock said, visibly uncomfortable.
"But, why?"
"It doesn't matter!", Sherlock said, suddenly all of the awkwardness gone. He stood up and moved as if to exit the room.
"Oh, no. You're not leaving-" John stood in front of the door. "-until you've told me why you kept my favorite jumper for over three weeks!"
"It's for-", the smallest pause, almost unnoticeable, but John did notice. "-an experiment."
"Yeah? What kinda experiment is that? Why would you need a sheep wool jumper for it? Hell, the last time I had it I spilled freaking tomatoe-sauce on it!"
"I washed it out."
"You washed what out?"
"The tomato stain, obviously, John. Do keep up. Now will you let me-", Sherlock wanted to push by John, but the doctor wasn't having it.
"The whole reason why I was looking for my jumper in the first place, was, because I needed to wash it, so-", a realization hit John. "For god's sake- did you wash it by hand?"
With two big steps he was at his jumper. The red-brown stain still faintly visible. With an incredulous look he held the jumper up towards- nothing.
Sherlock was gone.
He had fled the scene.
When John quickly walked into the living room, he faintly heard the outside door close.
With an exhausted sigh, his jumper in his hands, John sat down in his armchair. What has Sherlock's mission been? Confused, John glared at his jumper. Then he picked it up, grabbed more laundry and turned the washing machine on. He had missed this piece of clothing. A lot. Maybe... if he looked into Sherlock's room...?
***
Sherlock called a cab as soon as he was outside of the flat.
He couldn't believe he had been caught like that. John is suspecting something for sure. He didn't lie however - he actually had needed the jumper for an experiment. He wouldn't waste his thoughts on this right now, though. He was dropped off at Bart's and immediately started working on some poor guy that had already been half-eaten by chrysalises before Scotland Yard had found him. The murderer was the husband of course - it is always the husband.
Sherlock lost himself in documenting the stage of decay of the corpse and for an hour or two he almost forgot about John Watson and his jumper. Almost, never all the way.
When Sherlock returned home, he found John in his armchair calmly typing away on his laptop. A relieved sigh escaped- and immediately got stuck in his throat when he saw his journal on the coffee table next to his flatmate. It was where he had kept track of all the different smells of John, and how it had been impacted by keeping it in his room. (He would never admit he sometimes would sleep with it. Well- It was for the experiment!) The jumper was the John-est thing he could find. John wore this article of clothing the most. Therefore it was the best sample for his research.
"Why are you still standing there like you've seen a ghost? Sit down!", John asked him. Slowly, like he was approaching a wild animal, Sherlock did as he was told.
The doctor then looked up, smiled, put his laptop away, leaned forward. Sherlock gulped and considered running away again. He was not ready for the conversation that was about to be held.
"So." John started, and Sherlock eyed the door. "Don't run away I am not mad, I promise.", John saw through his flatmate immediately.
Sherlock nodded.
But when he saw, John still had that assuring, patient smile on his face, it somehow put Sherlock off. He was just considering jumping up and running away again when John spoke up, "I'm gonna make a deduction."
Sherlock opened his mouth but John continued before Sherlock could say anything.
"You love-", John began too loudly. He cleared his throat. "You love... my jumper."
Alarmed, Sherlock immediately started to find an excuse. "Look, John. The only reason I took that-"
"Actually, I think you love... me."
Sherlock was dumbfounded. "No. No, John, you're misinterpreting this. I-"
"And I...", John took a deep breath. "...love you, too." John apparently wasn't gonna let Sherlock finish one sentence.
"-never meant to make our friendship... Wait. what did you just say?"
John looked at him, eyes intense. "You love me. And I love you, too.", he said matter-of-factly. A statement - a deduction - in John-Watson-style: Not a long monologue, only the hard facts.
"Did I seduce you, Mr. Holmes?"
"I'm certain you meant 'dedu-'" an abrupt ending. "Oh.", Sherlock said.
A smirk crept on John's face. Slowly, he inched closer towards Sherlock. He was sitting on the edge of his armchair now.
"I'm gonna kiss you now, are you okay with that?"
"John, what-"
"That was a simple yes-no question. So, what is your answer? Yes or no?"
Sherlock gulped and looked at John. "Y-Yes."
"I was hoping you'd say that."
And just like that, something, Sherlock never even dared to dream of, came true.

Either "Surprise Hug" or "Broken" with the Bradshaw's! I hope you're having a great January! :)
I know it’s no longer January, but I have a few more January OTP Prompts left that I want to try to get done!
I hope you had a wonderful January, love! I tried to include both prompts in this one, and I set it in the early days of the Bradshaws’ relationship, when they just started dating ☺️
There was rarely a time when The Hard Deck wasn’t packed with eager patrons, but today felt especially crazy. Since you and Penny had opened up the bar earlier that afternoon, you hadn’t had a single moment to yourself. Between running drinks to all the tables and hurrying food orders to and from the kitchen, your feet were aching by the time the sun finally set. And your shift wasn’t over for hours yet.
Leaning against the bar, waiting for Jimmy to finish pouring the drinks for one of the tables you were waiting on in the back, you leaned against the polished wood and let out a heavy sigh, wiping a tired hand down your face.
“How you doing, sweetie?” Penny’s motherly voice suddenly filled your ears, a comforting hand coming to rest on your back as she stepped up beside you.
“Oh, I’m alright,” you told her, trying to perk yourself up immediately. Penny was such a wonderful boss and friend, and you were happy to see her business thriving, so you didn’t want to let on how exhausted you were and have her worrying about you. Not when she had so many other things to concern herself with.
“You look dead on your feet, hon,” she laughed, her blue-green eyes sparkling with amusement. “Why don’t you take a break?”
“No, no, I’m okay. Really,” you insisted, shaking your head. “I have a few tables who are still waiting on their drinks, so I want to get those over to them.” At Penny’s pointed look, you smiled sheepishly and added, “After that, I’ll take a little break.”
Penny grinned in response, nodding in approval. “Where are Rooster and the others? I figured they’d be here tonight,” she said, brushing her dark hair out of her face.
“They had a special training today, so I’m not sure if they’re going to make it tonight. They’re probably even more dead on their feet than we are,” you laughed, smiling appreciatively when Jimmy set a cluster of beers down on your tray.
“Hmm, in that case, I’m sure Rooster’s going to be very mad at me that I’m making you work the late shift instead of sending you home to take care of him,” she teased with a wink.
Your cheeks grew warm at her words and you fidgeted with the tray in your hands. You and Bradley had only been dating for a couple months, but apparently it was evident to everyone how head over heels you were for him. “I should go drop off these drinks,” you stammered, not missing Penny’s knowing grin as you moved past her.
On your return to the bar, a customer suddenly grabbed your attention, waving her hand in the air. “Uh, you work here, right? Can you help us? I think the jukebox is broken,” she explained, indicating the vintage jukebox that was a central amenity in The Hard Deck.
“Oh, let me take a look,” you nodded, frowning in concern. You hoped nothing was wrong. You didn’t want to stress Penny out.
It looked, however, like you might have to. No matter how many times you tried to plug and unplug the jukebox, fiddling with quarters and pressing various buttons, nothing seemed to want to play. Your frown deepened as your concern grew, and you smacked your palms against the machine in frustration.
“Now what did that jukebox ever do to you, honey?” a deep voice hummed in your ear, the familiar tickle of your boyfriend’s mustache brushing against your skin as Bradley threw his arms around you from behind in a surprise hug.
“Bradley!” you gasped in shock, spinning around in his embrace so that you could throw your arms around him. But before you could try to defend your acts of violence against the jukebox, he was silencing you with a kiss, his fingers burying themselves in your hair as he held you close.
“What are you doing here?” you laughed when the two of you finally broke apart. “I thought you’d be home and in bed after that training today.”
Bradley shrugged nonchalantly, a grin splitting his face as he gazed down at you. “I couldn’t go home without seeing my best girl,” he murmured, brushing another kiss against your lips.
You still got butterflies whenever he called you that.
“So what seems to be the problem, honey?” he asked, resting his hands on your hips as he gazed behind you at the finicky jukebox.
“I don’t know. The jukebox is broken or something. No matter what I do, it doesn’t want to play,” you sighed. “But I hate to bother Penny about it. She has so many other things going on right now.”
“Sounds like you’re in need of some musical assistance, baby,” Bradley smirked, waggling his eyebrows mischievously.
You grinned in return, resting a hand on his chest. “I am, as a matter of fact. Know anyone?”
“I might know a guy,” he nodded, winking at you. “Just show me the way to the nearest piano,” he told you with a laugh.
Giggling, you took his hand and led him through the crowd to the piano where he’d first caught your eye months ago. “My hero.”
