#this was such a fun scenario all jokes aside </3

How do you think the Sumeru boys would react to their s/o getting shrunk?
An interesting scenario... 👀 Characters Included: Tighnari; Cyno; Alhaitham; Kaveh (+Wanderer) Content: gender neutral reader; established relationship; idk if this classifies as crack??; bit of comedy; bits of fluff Word count: 910 words Have fun<3
Tumblr media
Tighnari
I personally see this going one of two ways
first, when realizing what has happened, he'd drop everything, all his work and responsibilities, and try to figure out how this happened and how to turn you back to normal again
or, he would want to do that, but he just can't because something really important is happening today... then, as shitty as this sounds, he'd just take you along with him, like in a backpack or pocket or something. Because he does not trust that nothing won't happen to you while he's out and about
whichever it is, he'd be very gentle with your tiny form and take very good care of you
when first noticing your current predicament, Tighnari would be shocked, maybe laugh a little bit, but he'd soon focus on helping you figure things out
he's not too keen on you staying this way for a longer period of time, or even forever, so he'd work hard on finding a solution
overall okay reaction, very helpful and polite about it, though he does put out an occaisonal comment here and there. But it's all in good fun, so don't worry
Tumblr media
Cyno
oh boy
you best prepare to be the butt of every of his jokes for the foreseeable future from now on
even if you manage to turn you back to normal, he will not let you forget about this incident, ever
would probably laugh at you, questioning you how you even managed that in the first place
but all jokes aside, he IS worried about you, so he does the only thing he can think about
he grabs you very carefully and carries you to Tighnari, hoping that his friend and Forest Ranger might know or can help to come up with a solution to the problem
he'll stay there with you until you're back to normal, that means that his work will be put on hold, no matter what anyone has to say about it
will turn restless and worried if there's no easy or quick solution available, but will do his best to support you, even though he will still make jokes about you
Tumblr media
Alhaitham
shock and surprise is his first initial reaction
like, frozen on his spot, kinda shocked
does not know how to react appropriately or what to say, at all. One of the few times in his life where he's actually speechless
once he's recovered from the shock, he's asking you a whole lot of question. If you remember how this happened, how you feel, if you noticed anything unusual, if you maybe know how to revert back, etc
just, literally any question that comes to his mind, really
he views this entire situation very neutral, like some sort of experiment that he wants to figure out
and since you're the only one affected and involved, it's only obvious that he asks you all these questions
plus, by answering them, he might be able to figure out what's going on and how to revert you back to normal
if he can't come up with a solution on his own, he'd go into the House of Daena, searching for every book available that is loosely connected to the issue at hand
should that still not deliver results, he'll help you consult doctors and other specialists in order to help you get better again
Tumblr media
Kaveh
full on panic mode activated
he sees what has happened to you, and freaks out over it
almost impossible to calm him down again. And since your voice is a lot quieter in your tiny form, you have to almost shout out your lungs in order to get his attention again
out of the two of you, you're definitely the calmer and more levelheaded one in this situation
he's helping you with whatever you need. When you ask him to take you to the doctors, he does so, no questions asked
though you have to constantly remind him to not squeeze you so hard in his hands
cut him some slack, will you? He's not used to something like this, he has to constantly remind himself to treat you carefully and gently
will freak out again if no one can figure out what is wrong with you or how to treat you
he may not have much money, but you best believe he's putting every single Mora he has into trying to figure this out and get you back to your normal self
Tumblr media
Wanderer
shocked at first, but will soon start to tease you about it relentlessly
he'll lovingly call you names like "shorty", "shortcake", and other stuff, now that you're so much tinier than him
he's having his fun teasing you for some time, but in the end, he does worry about you and wants you back to your usual self
since he doesn't trust you to be by yourself while like this, he carefully picks you up when he goes to pay Nahida a visit, thinking that she might know something about what has happened to you
together, the three of you would put your heads together, trying to figure something out
would feel annoyed if you're still in this state by the end of the day, but tries not to show it. It's not your fault after all, and you can't really do anything about it, so he doesn't want to let it out on you
but you best believe that it's his top priority from now on to get to the bottom of this. And should he find out that someone else is responsible for this, then they best prepare , because he won't go easy on them should he ever come across them...

Jealous Lewis would also be great.😅 Love your writings❤️ They are so unique.
Jealousy | Lewis Hamilton
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Pairing: Lewis Hamilton x Female Reader
Word Count: 1.2K
Warnings: None
A/N: Hi lovelies. This took a while to write because I had so many scenarios running through my head and finally settled on this one. Sorry if it ended abruptly, it’s literally 2am and also, sorry for the disappointing title lol.. I had a lot of fun writing this so I hope you guys enjoy - thank you anon for requesting .xx
(Y/BF/N) - Your Best Friends Name
(Y/F/N) - Your Friends Name
I couldn’t believe that the time has come for my best friend to get married. She beat me to it. I was over the moon for her at the time she FaceTimed me to share the news, fast forward to the present, it’s her bridal shower day. Of course, I, as her best friend, had to be the one to throw her a bridal shower she’ll never forget.
I felt awful when I found out that Lewis’ was arriving back on the same day as the bridal shower, though I did let him know beforehand and it wasn’t a big deal since I’d only be away for a few hours.
I got ready quite early to help some of the girls set up at (Y/BF/N)’s house. Luckily one of the other girls made it their sole duty to distract (Y/BF/N) for the day so we didn’t have to worry about that.
At perfect timing, (Y/BF/N) had a blindfold on her eyes and was lead through to the house. Once the 3 seconds were over, we gave her the go ahead to remove the blindfold which made us all erupt in screams.
The formalities followed with all of us playing games, dancing and just acting silly. That was until the real entertainment had arrived. We all heard a buzz at the door and the music was switched off. We all played along and insisted that (Y/BF/N) should answer the door since it’s her house anyway. Two police officers were at the door, “Ma’am, I believe we received a noise complaint from your fellow neighbour.”
“Oh my- I’m so sorry about that. We’ll turn the music down” (Y/BF/N) said worried. “May we come in ?” The officer asked. (Y/BF/N) stepped aside since she was so scared and worried… little did she know what was coming. “Ladies, turn it up” both officers said as I changed the song. Hats were thrown, sunglasses tossed aside, and shirts were ripped open. All the girls erupted in screams yet again and were fangirling so hard.
I stepped aside and watched the fun, as did (Y/F/N) alongside me since she felt uncomfortable, and she was also in a relationship. The rest of the girls were single, obviously except for (Y/BF/N), but they were having the time of their life. (Y/F/N) and I had a good laugh as we cheered on the girls who were enjoying it a little too much.
After all the fun was over, we took pictures with the guys, not thinking that one of us would think of posting these pictures online. We spent the rest of the night having a laugh at old memories and some of the girls were giving (Y/BF/N) advice as if they have already been married which was the biggest joke of all.
Some of the girls were drunk and so was (Y/BF/N), as much as I wanted to stay, I couldn’t abandon Lewis knowing he’s waiting for me at home. Luckily quite a number of the girls were sober, so they were staying behind to look after them for the night. I was so excited to get back home to Lewis and couldn’t wait to see him. It didn’t even cross my mind that my picture with the police officers was viral on social media since some fans follow my friends.
Once arriving home, I rushed in my heels to our front door, eager to see Lewis’ face. “Baby, I’m home !” I called for him. The only noise I could hear was the faint noise coming from the gym.
I watched him do some boxing on the punching bag. Shirtless with beads of sweat dripping down his abs. I think I was drooling. I whistled as I got closer to him, “Hey sexy. I missed you” I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him in for a hug. I kissed his cheek, then noticing that he didn’t hug me back. “Are you okay ?” I asked concerned. He remained silent and continued punching the bag. “Lew ? What’s wrong ?” I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest.
He shook his head at me, “Uhm care to explain as to what got you so upset ?” I raised a brow. He shut his eyes for a second and stopped punching. He huffed before answering, “You know what you did.” “Well obviously I don’t ? What the hell is going on ?” I asked as I grew angry. “How could you go out tonight and do that knowing I was coming back home today ?” He asked frustrated. “Do what ?” I asked baffled.
“How could you allow those male strippers all over you ? You’re the one that hosted the bridal shower so that only means that you called them !” He stated. “What are you even talking about ? Yeah, I called them but I’m not getting your point ?” I answered confused. “Does this ring a bell ?” He asked as he then showed me my picture taken in between the two shirtless male strippers. “This went viral. Everyone is already talking about how we broke up and here you moved on by posing with these guys” he said as he then placed his hands on his hips.
“Lew what the actual hell. Why didn’t you call me then if this was bothering you ? For your information, I didn’t even get involved when those guys came. Yeah, I called them, but the girls are all my witnesses that I stood aside with (Y/F/N) since we’re the only ones in a relationship. Those guys respected us standing aside from the fun, the only reason (Y/F/N) posted was to thank me” I was pissed off. I notice how the jealousy and anger dropped as his face softened. “Babe I’m so-“ he started. “Save it” I held my hand up to stop him as I left the room.
I guess he took a hint to leave me alone and give me some space. I was packing away my jewellery and heels in our walk-in closet when I heard the bathroom door shut. I tried to kill some time until he was done before I went to have a shower. Once I was done, I did my nightly routine and wore my satin pyjamas before leaving the bathroom.
I walked into the room to see him sat up against the headboard with his phone in hand. I then walked over to my side of the bed and grabbed my pillow - I could literally feel his burning gaze on me - I was prepared to sleep in the guest room for the night just because I’m petty. “Sweetie, where are you going ?” He asked. “To be away from you” I said as I stopped in my tracks with my back facing him before leaving the room. “Oh my days…babe” he groaned as he got up from the bed and ran to stop in front of me.
“Baby please…I’m so sorry. Please forgive me. I was just jealous, and I missed you so much. Seeing you with those guys got me upset because we haven’t been together for 2 weeks” he pouted as he engulfed me in a hug with his face nuzzled in my neck. “Lew, you should’ve known better to jump to conclusions. Besides that, who needs them when I have you” I smirked as he then looked at me with a grin. “That’s what I thought” he grinned as he then placed a hand under my chin to pull me in for a kiss. “I felt like kicking myself seeing you in that dress” he said in between kisses. “Well, you can make up for it” I smirked as he then lifted me up to wrap my legs around his torso.

music to my ears —bf!chan thoughts
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A/N: the bf!thoughts series is finished! I’m so happy I could finish it. I had so much fun coming up with these lil scenarios. Feel free to check them all out, they’re all linked in my masterlist!
(because he’s so gentle and so lively and represents the embodiment of the word «comfort» ㅠㅠ<3)
chan, who’s thrilled to hear that his partner, you, enjoys rap and music with almost as much passion as him.
chan, who often takes you to the studio, sometimes with the rest of the kids, others just him and you, perhaps 3racha too, and asks your opinion from time to time, shoving aside your several comments regarding your lack of knowledge in the field.
chan, that one day randomly approaches you as you get out of the shower, puppy eyes shyly staring at you like everytime he does when he wants to ask you a favour. You smile, not putting pressure in him.
chan, who finally mutters that he heard you sing in the shower, and claims that your voice fits perfectly on something that he has been working on, wondering if you’d be up to try out recording!
chan, who teaches you in the booth how to sing so that the mic catches your voice better, who explains the pace, the breathing, the tone, the exact way he wants you to deliver your short lyrics, yet showing how much the smallest details matter to him.
chan, who, as he does with the rest of the members, turns on the mic so you can hear him giggle when your voice cracks.
chan, who happily encourages your shenanigans, letting you sing any lyrics that come up to mind as you quickly end up comfortably laughing and following his guidelines, your cheeks red and hurting from smiling and laughing so much.
chan, who stares at you more than at the computer screen —where he should actually be looking—, snorting when he notices that his headphones look too big on your head, one of your hands holding them in place as you sing.
chan, who blushes, sheepish smile with dimples on display when you spot him staring, and you tease him, muttering through the mic. “jagi, you’re staring. Am I that bad?” You joke, and he giggles, hiding his face behind his hands in a timid manner, never getting tired of your humour.
chan, who makes you step out of the recording booth, takes his big headphones off of you and plants a loving smooch on your lips.
chan, who after several recordings, changes your contact on his phone as “my worldstar<3.”
(short take on chan thoughts because it’s chan, idk, and besides, I HAVE ONLY ONE EXAM LEFT UGH I AM SO HAPPY)
spicy bonus: chan, who one day, recording back at home for funsies suggested the idea of recording something more… funny. (and ended up hearing your moans in stereo)

a collection of ideas of a post-suspendium Golden Age comics Billy Batson if he ended up in the 21st century (pick any comic continuity
EDIT: IF YOU SEE THIS POST HAVING A WEIRD/REPEATING PARAGRAPH/FORMAT, LET ME KNOW BECAUSE TUMBLR ISNT WORKING FOR MY MOBILE
1.adoption scenario
(If a leaguer wanted to adopt Billy, he’d just show them his birth certificate)
Billy smirking:” Sorry, you can’t legally adopt a grandpa”
Tumblr media
2. Billy teasing with a smug boomer voice: “Back in my day, we used to play with atomic machines!”
3. youtube
Billy:thanks for showing me how to use a modern phone (insert friend from 21st century)! But I wonder, where is the tv remote for changing the youtube channel? And Where is the news?
(Friend from the 21st century):*sighs* it’s so over
4. Old friends
Aside from the fawcett city heroes, Billy in this case probably relates more to the older heroes like wildcat, Alan scott or Jay Garrick, maybe they have multiple team ups in the past and would reminiscent over it (the rest having their favorite drinks while Billy preferring his hot chocolate ice cream)
5. Teasing
The younger hero teams who know his identity would teasingly call him a “boomer”, Billy wanted to protest that he technically was born before boomers but they ignored it and still teased him about it.
to the rest of the heroes who didn’t know about his identity, they assume captain marvel is more than centuries old, and thinks this is the reason the kid heroes calls him a boomer.
6. Jokes
Billy: “oh so these memes are like what replaces comic strips i used to read, how nice”
Some of these ideas are taken from the fanfics i’ve written, some just came to me inside my head, but it’s fun to think about it.
(Edited: added more scenarios)
7. Caprisuns
Caprisuns werent invented yet when Billy was in suspendium. After getting out of suspendium, He really likes caprisun.
Other leaguers would be confused, Marvel's liking of caprisun is comparable to Martian Manhunter's love of oreos. When asked about when his capri sun addiction started, Marvel shrugged, "They weren't made before I was born, so it was only recent"
The league is now confused as to how old marvel is. Wonder Woman relates to this with her fascination of ice cream flavors.
8. Billy automatically put on a Mid-atlantic accent whenever he is near a microphone due to his habit and work with Whiz station for his TV segments as well as radio programs.
Whenever Captain Marvel uses a communicator, he unintentionally uses a mid-atlantic accent (this confuses the leaguers, "who is this guy!?"). Some of the leaguers enjoyed listening to his voice
Marvel would occasionally file an audio JL report (yes, with the same mid-atlantic accent) when he's on a hurry and couldn't type it out with his typewriter (he still finds it difficult to use a computer) : "And there you have it, folks! In a nutshell, I managed to handle the There was an outbreak of imps but Mary and I already took care of it, Junior apprehend the acrobat after a terible case of Moonitis, the three of us thwarted Mr. Mind's dastardly scheme to seize control of the sun, and we all prevented Sivana from being promoted to "King of Earth" by hurling his atomic bomb straight into the heart of the sun itself! That's the latest from me, This is Captain Marvel, signing off!"
Leaguer: "Why does he sound like a radio host commenting on a football game?"
Other leaguer:*shrugs*
9. Billy watches a cgi lion movie for the first time
..and thought innocently that there are other talking tigers like tawky tawny.
Some of these ideas are taken from the fanfics i’ve written, some just came to me inside my head, but it’s fun to think about it.

Shiggy x Short!Reader
Tumblr media
Here’s another contender for my x short!reader series. Also, my definition of short is between 4′10-5′3. 
This guy is going to give you HELL for being short
He isn’t even that tall, being 5′9, but he loves that you’re short because it makes him feel tall even though he really isn’t 
The power dynamic makes him thrive
Holding things above your head? Yep
And if you reach for something that’s up high, he won’t help. He may actually just disintegrate what you’re reaching for just to make you pissed
He’ll 100% make fun of you
“How’s the weather down there?”
All jokes aside though, you’re adorable and he loves your height
He’s so protective of you. Even if he knows you’re capable of defending yourself, he can’t help but feel like he must protect you at all costs
If anyone even attempts to overpower you or tease you, well..they’ll be lucky if they make it out alive haha
Only he can make fun of your height 
Loves to take you out on walks and look down at you as you two hold hands (in this scenario he wears quirk-erasing gloves because I said so)
Please pull him down for a kiss, he’ll literally die 
Sit in his lap when he plays video games and again, he’ll die
He hates everything, but he can somehow tolerate you

yall didn’t like the recreyo ending? I definitely think there could have been more but what are your issues with it? I don’t mean this in a neg way btw, just want to hear other perspectives
Ok uhhhhh the reblogs in this post essentially contain most of our opinions but tbf it quickly devolved into “you know when you think about the Recreyo lore it makes no goddamn sense”
https://www.tumblr.com/datssokoolwhat/750599250631704576/i-trust-you-guys-to-take-the-voting-very
But to make a long story as short as possible: while we 100% understand the limitations the crew had (since y’know, suddenly we need to write an ending and yall) we’re mostly just disappointed in that it didn’t use most of its existing lore and instead introduced some last minute, barebones villain with some lore that somehow feels incredibly complex and incredibly confusing and meaningless.
The long story:
In my specific case: it didn’t feel like an ending.
A finale’s job is to be an end. Loose threads get tied up. The plot comes to a conclusion. The characters say goodbye.
And all of this could have happened if they simply gave an in-universe explanation as to why Recreyo can’t continue. I feel like they tried explaining that in part 2 with the entire “giving Ao’s energy back to the tears”, but it’s still way too vague and it doesn’t return in part 3, the actual ending ending (how does fixing the tears prevent them from opening a new portal, if Ai and Ao are the problem why are they a problem now ect) and there could have been a much more simple explanation: Maybe to defeat Ai, the plushies aren’t enough and they need to use the power of their portal creation to do it. Maybe Ao betrays them after defeating Ai and the only way to avoid the choice of which twin to keep empowering, they have to permanently seal the multiverse. Maybe the multiverse can’t be saved, and never opening a portal again after returning home is the best way to keep it from collapsing.
But there is nothing. And thus there is no in-universe explanation as to why the adventure can’t continue. And well “the adventure continues” can work well for some stories, it doesn’t work here, aside from teasing new things on their own channels (which still wouldn’t explain why Recreyo disbands in-universe).
And then there is the plot of the finale itself. Evil twin of former baddy who has up to this point never been mentioned before causes problems for reasons never explained or explored, said baddy is incredibly flat, has like 8 very generic lines and only actually appears in the last episode, where they are quickly defeated. The entirety of part 2 is just crack fixing, and the new lore is incredibly confusing.
All in all, it feels like they wanted too much for the finale, but there wasn’t enough time to properly use it.
I will admit there are a lot of great parts about the finale! The banter and humor is very fun, it’s great to see Ao and her awesome voice actress again (shoutout to Kowaitea), I love part 1 and how it feels everyone is participating in it rather than being it mostly Curt, I love the attempted scenarios, I just love it like Recreyo videos.
It’s fine as a Recreyo video. It just sucks as a story imo lol.

Hey^ I'm really happy I found your account, there's not a lot of content about xdh out there~
Can I request a junhan x y/n friends-to-lovers scenario, in which y/n and junhan clicked very easily as friends and junhan is carefree and cuddly with the reader. The members nagged junhan into introducing y/n as he had talked about them before, but were shocked to find out that junhan acted differently and, was a lot more talkative around the reader.
Thank you <3
Thank you so much for requesting. This was such a cute idea! I hope that I wrote it to your liking :)
Han Hyeongjun
Summary: The members finally convinced Hyeongjun to introduce them to you, but they were shocked to find out that Hyeongjun acts like a completely different person around you.
WC:1.5k
Warning:grammar
Tumblr media
photo not mine credits to owner
You had just finished laying out the snacks for your and Hyeongjuns’ movie night when your phone went off. It was a text from Hyeingjun notifying you that he was at your place. You made your way to the door and opened it, greeted with the sight of Hyeongjun.
“Hi,” you briefly greeted, stepping aside to let him in.
“Hi,” he replied back, wrapping his arms around you in a hug like he always does. You simply mirror his actions, wrapping your own arms around his frame in a hug. After you release your hold on him you walk over to the living room where you had set everything up. 
Upon sitting on the couch Hyeongjun’s legs were quick to drape themselves over your lap. Another usual occurrence between the two of you. Hyeongjun has always been cuddly around you, it appears to be second nature for him. You never thought twice about this, always thinking that he was simply a cuddly person. 
You reach forward grabbing the remote to hit play on the movie. However, after about half an hour, if even that, the movie had become background noise as you attentively listen to a story Hyeonjun is telling you. This was yet another normal part of your friendship with Hyeongjun. It seemed like he consistently without fail had something to talk to you about. He had just finished telling about some mischief that Jiseok and Jooyeon had created at their dorm when he brought up.
“Speaking of the members they said that they want to meet you,”
“Really?” You question.
“Yeah, they claim that they’re “dying” to meet you even,” he explained using air quotes around his members' dramatic words. Recalling the conversation he had with the members before leaving the dorm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Y’know you should invite y/n over sometime,” Seungmin said as Hyeonjun was getting ready to leave.
“Why would I do that?” He questions
“Well you talk about them a lot, so it’s only natural that we’re curious,” Jiseok states 
“Yeah, plus you say that you guys are really close, so it would be nice to meet them,” Gunil adds on.
“We’re dying to know more about them,” Jooyeon dramatically claims. The rest of the members are quick to agree with him.
“Unless you want to keep them from us or something?” Jungsu interjects
“I’m not keeping them from you. I just never thought about introducing you guys before,” Hyeongjun informs.
“Then tell them that we want to meet them,” Seungmin says.
“Fine I will. Can I go now?”
“Yes, yes go have fun with your friend,” Jungsu ushers him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Sounds like you talk about me a lot. For them to be dying to meet me,” you tease. 
“It’s not that. They’re just curious about my friend, that's all,” he defends.
“Sure let’s go with that, but I’d like to meet them too,” 
“Great! I’ll set it up,” he says.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today was the day. The day that you meet Hyeongjun’s members. You and Hyeogjun had just made your way to the dorm and were about to head inside.
“Last chance to back out,” he said with a bit of a joking tone as his hand went to open the door.
“Nope, open the door,” you replied motion with your arm towards the said door. He put in the code the door, pushing it open and gesturing for you to enter. You walk inside and find that the members are all gathered in the living room.
“Guys this is my friend y/n,” he introduces you and one of his arms naturally slides around your waist slightly pulling you towards him. This action doesn’t go unnoticed by the members, who are quick to exchange some looks with one another. “Y/n these are my members, Gunil, Jungsu, Jiseok, Seungmin, and Jooyeon,” he finished introducing everyone. 
“Nice to meet you guys,” you say politely. 
“Nice to finally meet you too,” Jungsu said.
“Yes, it’s nice to finally meet the person Hyeonjun talks so fondly of,” Jiseok states, sending a bit of a smirk towards Hyeongjun. 
Everyone made themselves comfortable in the living room area. Gunil, Jungsu, and Seungmin were sitting on the couch. While you, Hyeonjun, Jiseok, and Jooyeon situated yourselves on the floor. Yours and Hyeongjun’s knees were pressing together as he leaned back on his arm, which was positioned slightly behind you. Again his members were quick to notice the closeness between the both of you. They were a bit confused because he was never like this with them. He had always opted for having personal space around him.
“So y/n you and Hyeongjun seem to be very close friends,” Jooyeon states.
“Yes we are. We basically clicked as soon as we met,” you replied back. 
After casually chatting for a while you guys naturally broke off into doing your own things. Jungsu and Gunil were watching some show on the t.v. Jooyeon and Jiseok were watching videos together and Seungmin occupied himself on his phone. You and Hyeongjun found yourselves in the kitchen getting out ingredients to bake some brownies. Naturally the pair of you were chatting away the entire time. 
“I don’t think I’ve ever heard him talk this much,” Jiseok voices. The videos he and Jooyeon were watching forgotten, much like the show Jungsu and Gunil were watching. Suengmin’s phone had stopped occupying him long ago too. All of them were much too caught up by the sight of not only a talkative Hyeongjun, but an affectionate one too. 
“Is that really Hyeongjun, our Hyeongjun?” Jooyeon queries. Astonished by the view of Hyeongjun casually resting his head on your shoulder to look at the recipe laying on the counter in front of you.
“He’s so different with them,” Jiseok speaks again.
“We’re definitely asking him about this later,” Seungmin states
“Of course, we need answers,” Gunil responds.
Later turns out to be right after Hyeonjun sends you off telling you that you better text him when you arrive home. Just as he shuts the door to their dorm he’s being interrogated. 
“What the heck was that?” Jooyeon exclaims.
“What are you talking about?” Hyeongjun asks back, confusion taking over his face.
“What am I talking about? You’re the one who seemingly couldn’t stop talking. Seriously, you've never talked that much around us.” Jooyeon proclaims. 
“Not to mention all the skinship as well. It was hard to believe that it was actually you,” Jungsu adds on.
“So I act a bit different around my friend, that’s normal. Everyone acts slightly different when they’re with their friends,” Hyeongjun fortifies. 
“Dude that’s more than a bit,” Seungmin refutes. 
“You must seriously like them,” Gunil notes.
“Of course I like them, they're my best friend. I feel 100% comfortable around them,” Hyeongjun informs.
“I think you like them a bit more than a friend,” Jiseok suggested.
Hyeongjun took a moment to pause and think about Jiseok’s words. Did he like you more than a friend? He definitely enjoyed being around you. Like he mentioned before  he felt 100% comfortable around you. It was easy for him to be talkative around you. He didn’t have to think about what to say, the words just came naturally, so did the cuddliness. Being affectionate with you was natural and even unconscious sometimes. He snaps back to reality, realizing he has yet to say anything.
“Well…whatever that’s for me y/n to know not you guys, stop being nosy,” he says, turning red in the process. He then retreated to his room. Laying in his bed left with his thoughts and feelings to sort out.
The next time you and Hyeongjun hang out. You notice he’s a little off. Meaning he’s not talking as he usually does. He appears to be a bit caught up in his own head. 
“You alright?” you gently ask him. “You seem a bit distracted today,” 
“I’ve just been busy thinking,” he admits.
“About what?” you ask.
“To tell you the truth I’m not that cuddly or affectionate with other people as I am with you and I don’t really talk as much either. They’re both things that I mainly just do with you. Jiseok said I must behave this way with you since I like you. It made me start to think about my feelings for you,” he comes clean. This information comes to be very shocking to you, but you can think about that later. Right now your heart is pounding at the mention that he might like you. The guy that you immediately clicked with fell for, might actually like you back.
“And what feelings do you have for me?” you tentatively question.
“I like you and I don’t know how I’ve never noticed before, because after thinking about it I’ve realized that I liked you from the beginning,” Hyeongjun reveals.
“I’ve liked you since the beginning too,” you confess. Hyeongjun breaks out into his adorable smile and pulls you into his embrace, gently rocking side to side. Both of you end up cuddling on the couch as a movie plays as background noise to the conversation you’re currently having, just as it always has and always will be.

Okay, as you know I just finished Bad Omens, and it was probably the funniest fic I've ever read. THANK YOU for writing this masterpiece.
I adore your sense of humour. Can I ask what inspires, feeds, or fuels it? Because if there is a movie, book, or show you can recommend with more of these vibes, I'm RUNNING to it. I need more of this humour in my life. pronto.
Wishing you well <3
Oh no. You've asked about my favorite topic, I fear. (For anyone else who wants a rambling response from me, feel free to drop the words "Bad Omens" in my ask box.)
Unfunnily, I came by my sense of humor the old-fashioned way—by being fairly ignored as a child. I had a whole comedic routine I'd launch into any time I thought an adult might be about to pay attention. This behavior generally results in either wildly famous adults or extremely annoying ones. I am lucky I have writing to channel it into because I lack basically all the skills to become any sort of performer.
Ok. Obviously, the humor in this fic was mainly inspired by Good Omens. I dissected the book before and during writing to try to get as close as possible to the feel of the original (limited, of course, by the fact that I'm not Neil or Terry). I looked at sentence structure, joke setup and payoff, how and when those narrative asides were used... I remember being amazed by how much of the humor relied on clever adverb usage. Mainly, though, it's the dramatic irony doing the heavy lifting. You swap a muggle for a witch (or the Antichrist for Baby B) and tell the reader you did it, and they're already doing half the work for you. They're ready to laugh. They're bought in. They're spinning up hilarious scenarios in their mind before I've even told the joke (I know this because my comments are full of them).
That's a very long way of saying: I love anything that says "we've set up this absurd scenario, now let's watch it unfold." (Although I don't like when it gets too stressful. That's why the Bad Omens narrator was there to hold your hand through it.)
What We Do in the Shadows is the absolute best for this. Plus classics like In Bruges and Hot Fuzz, both of which I've been casually trying to find a way to adapt into a Dramione for a year now. It's not really the same humor, but I have cried laughing at Veep.
Darker comedies: Fargo and my favorite, Barry. There's an episode in season 2 (ronny/lily) that veers straight off the cliff into surrealism. It's FANTASTIC, and I was absolutely thinking about it when writing the Bad Omens war date. I looooove that feeling of "what the actual fuck am I reading/watching right now?"
And on that note: The Locked Tomb series. Just, please go read it. Join the cult. It's kept me in a book hangover for about two years and I think the only way out is to pass it on to someone else, The Ring-style.
I'll cut myself off here. Thank you for the ask, and for reading and loving my silly little fic. I am first and foremost its #1 fan, and it's just fun to get to talk about it.
(stealth edit because omgggg I can't believe I forgot O Brother, Where Art Thou? Comedic PERFECTION. Couldn't be a Dramione. Snakes buddy comedy, maybe?)

Addicted (Rafe x Reader One Shot)
Summary: You are Barry's older sister (23). You're a pogue but you've worked yourself up to a good paying job - nowhere near Kook rich but you live comfortably. One day you check up on your drug-dealer brother and that's when your life suddenly becomes entangled with the one and only Rafe Cameron (20).
Warnings: NSFW smut 18+, fingering, oral sex (m receiving), mention of drugs and alcohol
Words: 6.6k
Hi all! I started writing this a little while ago and managed to finish it today. I like writing for fun, mainly for myself, but I like sharing my work every now and again. Hope you enjoy and as always, constructive criticism is welcome. <3
Walking towards the run-down mobile home my brother calls a home, the lawn littered with all sorts of shit - I feel a mix of annoyance and concern. My brother, - half-brother - has been mixed into drugs since he was a teenager. Now he's 20 and despite trying my best to get him out of this lifestyle, he doesn't seem to notice or care how much it's destroying him. How much like his drug addict father he has become, the one thing he once said he didn't want to be. Our mum refuses to see him in this state, so I feel a sense of responsibility to at least check up on him every so often. I'm always worried about how I'm going to find him, my mind sometimes wandering to the worst possible scenario. 
I shake that thought away and let out a sigh, just as a complete asshole speeds off on his bike merely inches beside me; causing me to step aside to avoid him hitting me and as by doing so, I fall to the ground with a thud. I feel anger start to boil up inside me but before I can shout obscenities at him, he's already gone. "Hey sis, you comfortable down there?" I snap my head back around to face a grinning Barry. I stare at him with an irritated look, letting him know that I don't appreciate his shitty attempt at a joke right now. I get myself up, brushing off the grass that's stuck on my jeans from the fall.
"That asshole almost hit me! And he didn't even stop to see if I was okay!" I exclaim. 
"Oh shit. That's that little fucker, Rafe Cameron. He came in demanding shit with no payment. I told him to go screw himself. I guess he didn't take it too well." Barry says, chuckling to himself. Rafe - Of course it's Rafe. If it weren't for the fact he zoomed past me like that, I would've recognized him instantly. I babysat for the Cameron's a few times to get some extra cash, mainly looking after the little one, Wheezie. Sarah and I used to sit and talk, I'd let her braid my hair and we'd watch movies together even though we're seven years apart. She's pretty mature for her age.
"Since when is Rafe into drugs?" I ask curiously, walking up to Barry who has found a seat on a log. He shrugs his shoulders in response, his lip curling down as if to say "I don't know" but he still comes up with an answer, "When are Kooks not into drugs? They're probably raised on that shit!" 
I dismiss his response, not wanting to talk about Rafe any longer. I ask him how he's been and he gives me the same bullshit answer as he always does. But he's alive and breathing and not completely drugged out of his mind in this moment so that's good enough for me. He asks about mum, I know it hurts him that she doesn't want to see him. I think it hurts him even more than when his dad left, and all I can do is try and comfort him. Barry can be a real dick at times, but I know that he's good person deep inside. That's why I can't give up on him. 
He tells me he's going to a kegger at the beach tonight and I should tag along if I want to. I used to go out a lot before I got my job at Maritime Corporations but I didn't want to be involved in any kind of trouble so I stopped. Us Pogues already have a bad reputation as it is, I didn't want anything affecting my new job. I think about it a for a minute and decide that it's about time I let myself have some fun, so I agree to meet him there later on.
-
I decide upon a matching two piece outfit and as the sun goes down, I make my way to the party. As always, there's a mixture of Pogues, Kooks and Tourons - I can feel the uplifting buzz in the air. I walk onto the sandy beach, scanning around for Barry or any other familiar face. Someone suddenly bumps into me, and as I turn to see who it is I am met with a pair of striking blue eyes. "Jesus Rafe! You really don't look where you're going, do you?" I say, letting my annoyance show through.
"Y/N! Good to see you! It's been a while!" He says, an arrogant smile plastered on his face. His arms are wide open, each hand holding a beer. After seeing what drugs and alcohol have done to my step-dad and Barry, I've become hesitant to do any of those things anymore. I scoff at the state he's already in, considering the party's only just begun.
"Has it been a while, really? Because from what I remember you almost ran me over earlier today!" I reply, shooting daggers at him. His expression changes from confused to sudden realization. "Wait, that was you?!" he raises his voice whilst pointing at me. It doesn't seem like he actually understands the severity of it, because he's still got that stupid grin on his face.
"Yep." I say, letting the 'P' pop. "That was me. Unfortunately." I reply, smiling at him sarcastically as I cross my arms. He loops one of his arms around my shoulders, bringing me closer to him. "I'm so sorry, I didn't realize that was you!" He says, failing to sound genuinely apologetic. I sigh and attempt to get his arm off of me but he only tightens his grip. He places one of the beers into my hand and turns his head to me, "Here, take this - as an apology for earlier."
I can smell the alcohol on his breath, his pupils are almost all black; most likely from the combination of drugs he's done. It makes me uncomfortable, almost repulses me. I tell him I don't want his beer but he insists so I hold onto it just so he can get his arm off of me. I finally spot Barry in the near distance and he sees me too. I shrug Rafe's arm off my shoulder without saying a word and walk towards Barry. 
We start talking to each other for a while before Barry's gaze hardens and focuses on something behind me. I turn around just as Rafe stops in front of us with his little gang, Topper and Kelce. "Have anything good tonight?" Rafe asks Barry. Barry chuckles in response, "Yeah, I do. But there ain't no way in hell I'm sellin' you any after the shit you pulled on me today."
That certainly pisses Rafe off, I can see the desperation in his eyes. It makes me sad seeing how hooked on this shit he is, part of me feels the urge to help him but it's not my place to get involved. Rafe storms past me, and shoves Barry, threatening him to give him something. Barry of course, finds this amusing and pushes him back. They start to argue loudly and I realize that if I don't end this now, things are going to end very badly. 
"Guys! Can we not do this tonight? Can't you act like adults just for once in your lives?" I say, standing between them. They stare at each other but slowly back away. I put my arm around Barry to guide him away and he follows along. Until he doesn't. Out of nowhere, he decides to turn back around and punch Rafe square in the face. Rafe's about to fight back but is held back by his friends. I run to Barry, grabbing his arm and dragging him away. I start to lecture him about what he'd just done but to no avail. It goes in one ear and comes out of the other. Thankfully, Rafe doesn't follow.
Barry and his druggie friends decide to ditch this party, inviting me to go with them. I look behind me, seeing Rafe in the distance with his hand on his face. It's covered in red liquid. Blood. I tell them to go without me, that I want to stay at the party longer. Once they've left, I make my way over to the Kooks. I don't know what's come over me or what I'm going to do exactly, but I feel like I need to fix what my brother's done in some way.
"You should probably get that checked out." I say, as I approach Rafe. His face is tilted upwards in an attempt to stop the bleeding and he doesn't look too happy.
"You think? Where's your brother? I just wanna talk!" He says frowning whilst looking behind me frantically. This macho-man act is actually pretty amusing. Men are such weird creatures.
"He's already left. And even if he was here, you'd think I'd let you go 'talk' to him?" I say, chuckling and tucking away some strands of hair that have fallen onto my face behind my ear. He doesn't reply, so I continue. "No but seriously, you really need to do something about your nose. Like, now." I say, noticing how the bleeding is still pretty bad.
"I'm fine" is all he says, but I can tell he's in a lot of pain. So I walk closer to him and lightly tap my finger on his nose. He shrieks in pain, moving backwards. "Fuck Y/N! Why'd you do that?!" He shouts, shielding his nose. 
I can't help but chuckle, "You said you were fine, I just wanted to see if you were telling the truth. Obviously, you're not. So shut up and come with me." Grabbing his forearm, I guide him through a path away from the beach towards my friend, Isabella's place. It's only a five minute walk and she so happens to be a nurse so she'll be able to help.
"Where are we going? You're not going to touch me up are you? Not that I'm complaining, but it's kinda hard to do anything when your face is gushing with blood. We can surely arrange that for some other time though." Rafe says flirtatiously , it seems like he doesn't lose his "charm" even when he's injured.
I can't help but laugh out loud at his comment. "As if I'd have sex with you. In your dreams, Cameron." I reply. We arrive at Isabella's place and I notice the lights are all turned off. I think for a moment before remembering where she leaves her key. I know she wouldn't mind me going into her place, we're pretty close. 
"Uh, so... Are you going to murder me and dump my body over the pier? Because I can't think of another explanation as to why we're at some random house right now." He says, looking at me a little more innocently this time. I smile, amused by his reaction. I shake my head and grab the key from a nearby plant pot. Opening the door I guide him into the kitchen, where I manage to find the first aid kit. I can feel Rafe staring at me and I try to ignore the weird sensation in the pit of my stomach.
"I'm just going to clean this up." I say, gesturing to the mess that is his face right now. "Luckily for you, my nurse friend taught me a few things." He has a cut on his nose and upper lip, I clean it with some antiseptic and cotton wool and add some pressure until the bleeding stops. There's already a bruise showing through and I'm worried his nose might be broken. I gently feel his nose and he winces, grabbing my wrist to stop me from continuing. 
"It doesn't feel like anything's broken, just some cuts. But you need to keep an eye on it anyway, just in case." I let him know. Suddenly, I become aware of our close proximity and the fact he still has his hand wrapped around my wrist. He looks at me and says, "Why are you helping me?"
It catches me a little of guard, but I guess it's a valid question. "Because you're hurt. I couldn't leave you to bleed out after what my brother did." I reply honestly. He finally lets go of my wrist and I take a step back.
"You could have left me. I'm just a rich Kook to you, you must think I deserve it." He presses, his expression is hard to read but I can tell he wants a better answer. I look to the floor then back up again "You do deserve it, but it doesn't excuse what Barry did. He shouldn't of hit you. It just didn't feel right leaving you like that." He nods at my response, not seeming completely satisfied with my answer but he doesn't push further.
There's an awkward pause before he speaks again. "So...you have something I can take?" He asks, raising his eyebrows. I know immediately what that "something" is that he's referring to. I frown, feeling annoyed but mostly disappointed in him.
"No. Do you really think I carry drugs on me?" I ask. There's another pause before he replies, "Well, do you?" I let out a groan of irritation. I can't believe this dude. 
"I don't do or carry drugs on me. I'm not like my brother. In fact, I despise that shit." I say in response, running my fingers through my hair. That seems to surprise him, "I just thought cause your brother is into it, then you would be too." He says, blatantly. I scoff, rolling my eyes at his ridiculous statement. 
A pang of sadness hits me, and I lean my back onto the dining table. I find myself speaking before I can stop myself. "You know, for the longest time I've been trying to get him out of this situation but nothing's changed. Every time I come see him, I'm worried about whether I'll find him lying dead on the floor. It scares me so much. And I also feel guilty, because I feel ashamed about people knowing we're related. I don't want them to get the wrong idea about me too. I know I shouldn't feel that way but I do." I can feel my eyes fill with tears but I blink it all away. Rafe is looking at me, but with a different expression this time. Pity?
He slowly walks over to me, stretching his arm out to gently place his palm on my cheek. This action takes me by surprise but instead of flinching away, I lean into it. "Y/N, it's not your fault. None of this is. You're a great sister, I can see that. But unless he wants to change, he won't. You need to stop constantly thinking of him and put yourself first for once. And no one thinks of you that way, I shouldn't have said that. It was a shitty thing to say." He replies with a completely new tone to what I'm used to from Rafe Cameron. It's sincere, apologetic...heartfelt. Next thing I know, I'm looking at his lips. I don't know why, but something about his plump, pink lips makes me lose all focus. I snap out of it, moving away from his touch and place the first aid kit back in the cabinet.
"Well, you're as good as new! Almost." I say, trying to forget what happened a second ago and lighten the tension between us. I lock the door behind us and we make our way through the dimly lit path towards the beach again. Just before we've reached the party, he turns to face me whilst walking backwards. He's got his usual grin plastered on his face once again. "I'll see you around Y/L/N." He says, winking at me. I can't resist the urge to roll my eyes, "Hopefully not, Cameron."
-
My luck doesn't last long because I see him again two weeks later at work. It catches me completely off guard, it's the last place I'd expect to see him at.  As I walk past my boss's  office, which is enclosed by see-through glass, Rafe is standing next to his father who is conversing with my boss. They're both laughing at whatever their talking about, whilst Rafe is trying his best to look like he's listening. I can tell he's completely disinterested by the way he's looking around, trying to find anything mildly amusing to look at. I giggle at myself at the sight of him just as he  notices me and I quickly look away as if I wasn't just staring at him. I glance back at him again. He's still staring at me but now there's a grin on his face.
I continue walking to the printer room to collect my documents. As I wait for them to print, I shift my weight from leg to leg. I bite my lip, a sign that I'm feeling nervous. It's like I've unconsciously taken a mental picture of Rafe's face when he looked at me and I can't get it out of my head. I try to suppress the smile creeping up on my face by biting down on my lip harder. My colleague, Sam, interrupts my internal struggle as he walks into the room. We chat about work, trying to make the time go by faster. Once we've decided we've been gone for too long, we make our way back into the main office. 
My boss, Rafe and his dad have all relocated to the main hallway outside his office. He signals to Sam and I and we walk up to the three of them. I try my best to suppress the odd feeling at the pit of my stomach, and I look at everywhere but Rafe. We introduce ourselves to Mr Cameron and our boss lets us know we'll be joining him to an event that Mr Cameron will be hosting. It's going to be about the new joint venture of Maritime and Cameron Corporations. We will be needed to introduce the new scheme and answer any questions from possible investors. I nod in agreement, putting on my best 'professional' face on as I normally do in these types of situations. 
As Sam, who is my senior/mentor, explains the finer details of this project along with our boss, I hang behind pretending to listen. In reality, I'm staring at the coffee machine which stopped working two weeks ago and no one has bothered to get it fixed yet. I look around again, trying to find anything else I can occupy my mind with. To my 'luck', my focus lands on no other but Rafe; who once again, is already staring back at me. We discreetly smile at each other knowingly, both thinking about the fact that I caught him slacking earlier and he caught me slacking this time.
He takes a step closer to me and then looks to his side. When he is satisfied that the others are too engrossed in their conversation to hear him, he finally talks "So this is where you work." 
"Yep, although I didn't expect to see Rafe Cameron working around here. Or at all," I add sarcastically.
"It wasn't my choice," he lifts his eyebrows and tilts his head towards his father. "And I do work...Just on other things," he adds looking down at his biceps which his shirt does a great job of outlining.
I mentally shake my head and try to think of a way to change the subject to stop any dirty thoughts from entering my brain. "Your bruise is gone." I lift my finger slightly to point to where his injury used to be. The one I personally treated not too long ago. It briefly brings me back to the moment his hand was on my cheek that night, and the fact I didn't want him to take it away. I really need to stop thinking about him touching me, or any parts of his body. I need to stop thinking about him, period.
"I had a great nurse," he winks. He leans closer to me, whispering this time, "Oh, and by the way, you look hot in that outfit." I immediately feel warmth in my cheeks and  I mentally tell myself off. I shouldn't be reacting this way to Rafe Cameron. I instinctively roll my eyes at his crude comment.
"You know that counts as harassment in the workplace, right?" I reply, feeling smug about my response.
"Does it count if the recipient likes it though?" His rhetorical question catches me off guard, but I try my best to hide the affect it has on me. Can't say if I actually did a good job at it though.
"Don't flatter yourself, Cameron." I shake my head and cross my arms.
"So I'll see you Friday then?" I frown in confusion, not recalling making any plans with him. Of course, he is referring to the business event his dad is hosting.
"I'm guessing your dad's forcing you to go to that as well, in which case, yes - I will see you Friday." 
"Honestly, I was going to find an excuse not to go but it turns out there might just be a reason to go." He has his hands in his pockets and looks me up and down. He means me. But I don't take him seriously. He mindlessly flirts with practically everyone, so it doesn't mean anything.
I hear Sam call my name and he reminds me of our meeting which starts in a minute. I start walking towards him but not before I turn back to Rafe and smile, "Sure."
-
The event comes around pretty quickly since I've been so focused on preparing myself for it. It's the first official event where I'll be representing the company and I want to make sure I get everything right. I decided to go with a lilac figure-hugging dress and nude heels. It's definitely a lot dressier than what I'm used to wearing but it feels good for a change.
Sam agreed to pick me up and we meet our boss at the venue. It's a beautiful place adjacent to the sea. There's a large gazebo decorated in white with gold accents and fairylights. I follow my boss as we make our way towards Mr Cameron who welcomes us and explains how the event will run tonight. I make small talk with Rose, Mr Cameron's wife, expressing how delighted I am to be there. I spot Rafe walking over to us and I can't help but think how good he looks in his light blue suit which brings out the colour of his eyes.
He greets us one by one, finally walking over to me. He extends his hand for a handshake and I extend mine. His skin is incredibly soft and it makes me wonder what it would feel like against my body. He holds onto my hand just a second longer than necessary. Not long enough for anyone but me to notice, and it definitely makes me feel a certain type of way. I let go and look away, trying to hide the warmth creeping up on my cheeks; just in time for Mr Cameron to lead us to the stage where we'll be introducing our new company venture.
~
It's already half-way through the night and I'm completely exhausted. I have lost count of how many people I've spoken to and my cheeks hurt from forcing myself to smile so much. Thankfully, the hard part is over and my boss has given us the okay to enjoy the rest of the evening. I decide to explore the rest of the venue to give myself a break from all the people and noise. As an introvert, it's exhausting being in social situations for too long.
As I slowly walk through the corridors of the venue, I stumble across a door labeled 'Kitchen'. It's slighly ajar and I can hear faint voices coming from it. As I walk a little closer, I see Mr Cameron with his back to me and I realise he sounds kind of pissed but is trying to keep his voice down. 
"You're a fucking disappointment. All I needed you to do is one simple thing and you couldn't even do that!"
It doesn't take long for me to find out who he's talking to because Rafe steps into view shortly after. He's looking down at the floor with his hands in his pockets. I've never seen him look so small before and he almost looks like he's about to cry.
"Look, dad. I didn't mean to. I'm sorry." He finally looks up at his dad, with an apologetic look on his face as he paces back and forth.
"Sorry? That's all you've got for me? Sorry just doesn't cut it son! I'm embarrassed to even call you that! You're a sorry excuse of a son!" Mr Cameron's voice becomes louder and before I can register what's happening, his palm collides with Rafe's cheek.  Rafe looks so completely broken that it makes me want to walk in there and take him away from the situation. But I don't. Instead, I walk away because if I was caught eavesdropping I would definitely be in trouble with my boss.
I join Sam back outside but my head won't stop replaying what I just witnessed. I try my best to sound normal as I talk with Sam, but judging from the expression on his face, he can tell something is up. I see a light blue suit dash across the crowd towards the beach. I make up an excuse about needing the bathroom and make my way towards the sandy shore. The only light illuminating the beach is the distant lights of the venue, so it takes a moment for my vision to adjust and spot Rafe. He's sitting on the sand with his knees propped up as his arms rest on them.
I join him and he glances at me before looking back at the moonlit ocean. "What are you doing here?" He asks.
"I wanted to see if you were okay." I reply honestly, fiddling the handle of my purse and taking a seat next to him.
"I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" He turns his head, with a smile that doesn't quite reach his eyes. I contemplate about whether I should bring up what I saw and before I can decide against it, my mouth blurts it out. 
"I saw what happened. With your dad." I say, biting my lip. He doesn't speak straight away and the silence is making me nervous.
"Oh that? That was nothing. We were just talking about work." He chuckles uncomfortably. 
"It didn't look like nothing to me." I reply. I wait for him to say something but he doesn't, so I continue. "You can talk to me if you want. I know it won't fix anything but it might make you feel better to let it out."
"S' just like my dad said. I'm a big ol' disappointment. Can't get anythin' right." I notice the slurring in his voice and I can tell he's wasted. He brings the beer he's been holding to his lips, downing as much of its contents as possible. Normally, I would probably suggest he slow down but this doesn't feel like the right time to do that.
"You're not a disappointment." I respond and mean what I say.
"Yeah? And how do you know that? All I do is get high and wasted, right? What else am I good for?" He harshly wipes his eyes with the palm of his hand and I can see the tears welling up in his eyes.
"It's okay to cry, you know. It's not a sign of weakness."
"I am..not..crying." He clears his throat, trying to sound more convincing. 
"Fine. But if you are, that's okay too. Men are taught to suppress their emotions and that showing them makes you weak. But it doesn't. It just makes you human." His head suddenly falls between his knees and he's crying. No. He's sobbing; Uncontrollably. There must be a lot he's been holding onto.
There's a heavy feeling at the pit of my stomach and I truly empathise with him. I've seen how his dad has treated him before, when I would babysit Wheezie. Although I dislike Rafe, I still think his dad was being a complete asshole at the time. I guess he hasn't changed much.
I wrap my arms around him, not saying anything else. Just letting him release everything he's been holding in. A while later, the sobbing quitens until it eventually stops. I've still got my arms around him and as I look over at his face, I realize he's fallen asleep. I try to wake him up but that does absolutetly nothing. I guess whatever he ingested earlier must have completely knocked him out. I gently lay him down on the sand and I lie down next to him. There are only a few stars in the sky tonight, and before I can finish counting them, the darkness engulfes me too.
-
I wake up, the morning sun making my eyes squint shut. I turn to look away, only to face an already awake Rafe. His eyes look even more blue in the morning sunrise. "Hey" he says. 
"Hey", I reply as I sit up. I look ahead of me and watch the calm waves detract and retract from the shore. There's an awkward silence between us, but I'm too tired to care this early in the morning. I grab my phone from my purse to check the time. 7 AM. There are a few texts and missed calls from Sam asking where I went and I quickly type back a reply letting him know I'm okay. Hopefully my boss didn't notice I was gone too.
"I should probably get going." Rafe says as he stands up, wiping the sand off of his clothes. I stand up too, nodding in agreement.
"Do you need a ride?" He turns to me. I'm about to politely decline when I remember that Sam drove me to the event.
"Yeah, that'd be great." I nod. The thought of being in a small enclosed space with Rafe is making me nervous but I try my best to hide it. We walk to his car and I give him directions to my apartment. We make small talk and I find out that Jurassic Park is his favourite franchise. Who knew Rafe Cameron was into dinosaurs? When we arrive to my place, I thank him for the ride.
"Thanks Y/N. For last night." He glances over at me before I have a chance to get out of his car. I look back at him and smile, hop out of the car and close the door behind me.
-
I see Rafe again a few weeks later at work. My boss and Mr Cameron are having their monthly catch-up meeting; Rafe is also there and we exchange a friendly smile as we walk past each other. I want to ask him how he's doing but I suppress the urge, continuing on with my work. I had almost managed to get him completely out of my mind, but there he is again. One glance and the feelings come flooding back.
A couple of days after this I decide to pay Barry a visit. I walk up to his trailer and notice his door is ajar. This isn't that unsual for him so I just let myself in. I call out his name but there's no answer. As I look around for any sign of him, I start to hear shuffling coming from the direction of his room. His bedroom door is also half closed and as I push it open I am surprised to see Rafe frantically looking through Barry's wardrobe.
I frown, unsure of how to react. "Rafe? What are you doing here?" I say, hoping that his explanation will make some sort of sense. He looks over at me looking startled, his eyes look like they're far away. He stumbles over towards me and places his hands on my shoulders.
"Y/N! I need your help. I need you to tell me where Barry keeps his stach!" He says with a desperate look on his face.
"I-I don't know Rafe. I don't know where he keeps it. Did you break in?!" I say, trying to make sense of what is happening.
"He refused to sell me any so I had to get it somehow!" He replies, going back to looking through Barry's belongings. My confusion starts to turn into anger.
"Are you fucking kidding me?! If Barry finds you, he'll kill you! I can't believe this! You need serious help Rafe!" I exclaim, but that doesn't stop him from his search so I continue. "Did something happen? Why are you being like this?" He finally stops, throwing whatever he was holding onto the floor and turns to me. He's hyperventilating and I can tell he's suffering. All I want to do in this moment is to make it stop.
"I tried Y/N. I really tried to stop. I was doing well for a few weeks and then...then my dad.." His gaze moves from me to the floor and his hands are gripped tighly at his sides.
"What happened?" I ask him, the concern evident in my voice. I can't even try and hide it right now. I take a step closer to him, urging him to answer. He tried to sober up?
"Nothing. It's nothing." He finally says, shaking his head whilst glancing between me and the floor. His gaze finally settles back to me, "I just need you to help me find it. Please."
I have never seen him look like this. Something really bad must've happened for him to be acting this way. Rafe Cameron has always been a little unhinged, but never to this extent.
I shake my head and try my best to sound confident in my words. "I can't Rafe. You have to leave."
That doesn't seem to be the right answer because he momentarily shuts his eyes, shakes his head and goes back to rummaging through Rafe's room. I lunge forward, grab his arm and turn him towards me. "Stop it Rafe!"
His expression turns into anger and he grabs me by the shoulders, shaking me. "If you're not going to help me, then get the fuck out!" He shouts and pushes me backwards. His aggresive action startles me but I stay put where I am.
"Look - if you're going through something, you can talk to me; but you can't do this. Okay?" I  say, trying to calm him down but to no avail.
"It doesn't fucking matter! It's not even here!" He growls in frustration and attempts to rush past me to exit Barry's bedroom; I grip his forearm and turn him to face me.
"Rafe! Just stop!" He's about to turn away from again but my grip tightens, stopping him in his tracks. In one swift motion, I take a step toward him and do the last thing I can think of to calm him down. I place my lips on his. It's only a soft peck and it only lasts a couple of seconds before I pull myself back. "Stop" I say, my voice below a whisper. We're both looking at each other, his expression is softer than it was a few seconds ago. His gaze falls back on my lips but he doesn't say a thing. He just crashes his lips on mine and grips my face with both hands. I place mine on his forearms  to balance myself.
Our kiss is much more intense this time around, lust overflowing from the both of us. And I can't stop because I've realised that this has been building up for a long time now. I want him. He walks me backwards until my back finally touches the window. He lifts me slightly, sitting me on the window's ledge but our kiss never breaks. His tongue caresses mine and my whole body starts to tingle. My hand falls in between his legs and I can already feel the growing bulge through his jeans. This only turns me on further. I want to make him feel good, to show him that this feels so much better than the drugs and the alcohol. That he can stay sober.
Without hesitation, I unbuckle his belt and pull down his zip. I finally break our kiss and start sucking on his neck. He lets out a moan and it makes me smile, knowing that I'm making him feels this way. I slide my hand inside his boxers, taking a hold of his cock. 
"Fuck" He breathes out. I pull out his length from his jeans and start pumping back and forth. His hands grip my thighs as they slowly move towards my heat. He kisses me aggresively and I can feel the wetness between my legs. "I want to touch you" He says as he pulls back, looking down where his hands are inching closer and closer towards me. All I can do is nod. He slips my skirt up and quickly pulls my panties down, exposing my pussy. He doesn't waste any time before his fingers collide with my clit and I gasp at the feeling. He rubs circles with his fingers and I continue to pump his member. It's not long before he slips a finger inside of me and I can't believe how euphoric it feels. 
I start moving my hips back and forth, wanting to feel as much of him inside of me as possible. This prompts him to slip another finger in and I moan in pleasure. He pulls my top and bra up with his free hand, exposing my breasts and he immediately begins sucking my nipples. It feels so good that I could cum this second. I push him off of me and for a second he looks surprised until I kneel in front of him and he realises what I'm about to do.
I pump his cock a few more times before I lick from the base to the tip. He gasps, and I look up at him, enjoying the view. I finally fully take him in my mouth and start to suck him off whilst using my hands at the base. He extends one arm in front of him, placing the palm of his hand on the window to steady himself. 
"Fuck Y/N. I need to fuck you. Right now" He exhales, then pulls me up and pushes me back up on the window ledge, although a little harder this time. He laces his fingers through my hair, grabbing a handful at the base to keep my head still before he kisses me deeply. God, he's such a good kisser.
"Rafe" is all I manage to say before he thrusts himself inside of me. It takes me a minute to adjust to his girth but it quickly turns from discomfort to pleasure. He thrusts inside me with force and I never want him to stop. I mutter his name over and over again because that's all my mind can think about. Him. 
His right hand moves to carress my clit whilst his left wraps around my throat. I look up at him and he's already looking at me between his hair, which has fallen in front of his face. That's all it takes before my moans get louder and I reach my climax. He continues to thrust in and out of me until his own climax takes over and he fills me up. We're both breathing heavily and we sit there for a moment before he finally pulls out of me. I immediately feel his cum trickle down the inside of my thigh. 
Suddenly, the front door slams shut and I hear Barry's voice booming from the other room. Rafe looks at the door and then back at me and we both breathlessly mutter in unison "Shit."

Actually more rambling now. Currently thinking thoughts abt Tsuru and also Yabu (and Tsubakura by extension, obviously, who do you think I am,)
Always extremely funny that Tsubakura isn’t in most of Evanescent Existence just because they ignored the psychic intercom message and got really interested in the weird cave instead. What exactly was Tsurubami’s plan for if they hadn’t done that?? They run into each other and Tsubakura’s like “yeah I guess this might as well happen to me today”
Anyway the whole plot of Evanescent Existence is bizarre but it feels in character with how inscrutable Tsurubami is. Impossible to tell whether he has a convoluted plan or if she’s just having fun and it doesn’t matter cause he’s so all-powerful she’ll just get whatever she wants in the end regardless. Awesome!
Gotta mention one of my favorite fan works and definitely my favorite writing of Tsurubami is Misremembered Memories (fangame by Mugenri) (the person); I once summed up Yabusame’s scenario as “hey girl I didn’t call to talk to you put your dog on the phone” and made myself laugh extremely hard. And the bit where Tsurubami is like “it’s a trade secret!” And Tsubakura’s like “We have the same job? I’m filling in for you at your job?” And Tsubrubami’s like “Oh, I guess you’re right!” *blatantly continues to not tell them what they were drugged with* is LEGENDARY. But aside from the incredible banter I also love how Tsurubami asks Yabu & Tsuba for favors only after they’re already in a position where they can’t reasonably refuse. Feels right (kicking the “frankly I think it’s hot when characters are manipulative” tag from my ‘shall we dance’ pic under the fridge)
Oh yeah speaking of the song I happen to have a very strong link between liking music -> liking the associated character (slightly less so for Len’en than with Tohuhou cause I’m more interested in the story on its own merits for Len’en but it still seems to largely be the case) and I’m still very obsessed with the song. Thoughts on how it connects to the character 1) leading (like in dancing) 2) disorienting 3) silly goofy mischievous. Though I’ll admit I’m even more obsessed with broken eternal dance engine these days and that’s a twofer cause it’s actually Arde but would still presumably apply to a case where Tsurubami was outright trying to kill you! Either way 1) DANGER 2) even more disorienting 3) if you have the sound turned up just enough on that last big beat drop. Insane. The key change. The flip from just piano to full strings and heavy bass and crazy percussion. Kills me every time
(Tangent my friends who only know Len’en because of me talking about it are used to me very ardently insisting that Arde is just, like, pretty normal actually and today I was like “oh yeah I forgot this is her theme btw” *MO-NA-D-1 Memory Pursuit (basically a horror movie soundtrack)* lol)
Also I was thinking about the possibility that Tsurubami was the one who activated Rei (bc of how Rei talks abt him) and that’s got me spiraling. What all is she doing out there? If he was outright pretending to be Tsubakura again wouldn’t Hoojiro (& Haru) know about it? How’d he get access otherwise?
Extreme mental gymnastics offshoot from there: is Tsubakura a nepo baby??? Is it EN like 燕??? I dunno man. Trying to reverse engineer their backstory is such an ordeal; I keep muddling through their confusing relationship dynamics with Arde (it’s more straightforward with Hamal. Weird and bad, but straightforward!) and I’ll just be constantly going like girl (gender neutral) what is wrong with you…. Why are you like this……..
Anyway. My one big thing to share about Yabu is that I used to make the joke that Len’en as a whole feels like “Tsubakura’s terrible horrible no good very bad day, and also Yabusame is there” and then one day I had the epiphany to flip “it’s kinda funny Yabu just doesn’t really have a personal reason to be involved in all this” into “but she is anyway! They didn’t have to be there but she’s there for Tsubakura!” and got extremely soft about it.
Also uhhh I guess it depends on how much everyone knows about how Suzumi and their abilities work (always difficult to sus out) but in theory if Tsubakura knows about Yabusame’s immunity then them living with her would lessen paranoia that Suzumi could show up and then make them forget about it afterwards (though maybe undeservedly considering how BPoHC went lol)? Works as a deterrent either way. Okay so I think what we’ve learned here is I’m definitely not done with trying to make sense of a detailed headcanon version of precanon lol

NSR AMA File 1
Who is Mystery Man? He's intended to be open ending because it gives space to work for possible future games. They meant to be a bit cheeky about it. Daim gave the illustrator (ddaddy star @ IG) freedom to do what they want with mystery man.
Does B2J have any extra rooms in the sewers? During concept arting they had several rooms, influenced by XCOM. There was a thinking room and "recreation" room (weed room, but they didn't put it in bc controversy).
Will there be a sequel? Possible, and they're interested provided they have all the things needed like time and money.
Who came up with the story of NSR? Daim and Aidi (the main scenario writer). Daim came up with the main story, three other writers do NPC dialogue, names, item descriptions, etc. The flow of the battle is important, not too serious/jokey. They play a lot of Danganronpa.
What is the cause behind the Border Wars? They want to keep things loose in case they have other ideas in the future, but they did come up with lore for it. (personal note: James Landino also mentioned in his stream that the composers got extra lore for the bosses that didn't get put in the game.)
What are their favorite lines in the game? Daim likes the 1010 fight dialogue (fun fact: Aidi had more freedom to write it). Hazmer likes the Zuke and Eve ending dialogue, which Daim wrote.
Will they sell the artbook separately in the future? They've been discussing it (and merch) with the team. There are lots of factors, even if fans are willing to buy.
What are 1010's names? (Daim thought this would be the first question alongside Mystery Man) Officially, they don't have names. The autographs were not intended to be canon because Daim gave the illustrators too much freedom and didn't think the 1010 signatures would be significant. They didn't think 1010 would be this popular.
Characters that they didn't think would be popular but did (or the other way around)? They didn't think Kliff would be popular but he is. He was not intended to be a flashy villain. Jay Sheldon was a huge part of bringing the character to life. More than a simp, he did what he did because he believed he was right. The story is about 3 main characters: Mayday, Tatiana, and Kliff, who all have selfish reasons to fight. Tatiana doesn't want to fight because she thought she was weak when she was younger. Mayday is selfish because she wants to prove to NSR that their rejection of rock is wrong. Kliff's reason is to show Tatiana that leaving rock is wrong and a betrayal. Mayday is the hero because at the end she's the only one that can put aside her selfishness for the better of the city. They also didn't think Neon J would be popular; they blame the doodle with him and DJSS for the popularity. They didn't think he would go the fatherly direction considering he uses his own children as weapons.
How did you decide on the order of the bosses? They decide on how the bosses are in term of "evilness" and that's why DJSS was the first (Hazmer's idea was jerk Carl Sagan). First two bosses are straightforward and simple, then they slowly slip in hard-hitter bosses. Eve is Zuke's final boss, and Tatiana is Mayday's final boss.
What's the deal with Zuke and toilets? It's an inside joke. Zuke is the type of character who has a strange fascination for avant-garde things.
Does Mayday have any interesting lore? Mayday and Zuke are supposed to represent the two different approaches to music. Zuke is the academic approach, he's very knowledgeable and went to school. Mayday is more self-taught, she replicates what she hears.
How did they come up with boss attacks? They match the boss' music theme and setting theme. Many of the attacks seem similar because they couldn't make too many unique patterns in the game or players will get confused.
1010 figurines? Their intention with the 1010 figurines was for backstory in Vinyl City (what its toy history is like). Some regrets with 1010 lore because it doesn't tell much about 1010 itself.
Official character heights? They struggled with making consistent heights because they need to constantly resize in the game. It's a balancing act of lore and readibility. The ending scene is the closest to accurate heights that the game gets.
Some backstory behind character names? Daim/Aidi like to include bits from their real lives. DJSS came from Daim wanting his name to be ridiculously long and self-indulgent, also inspired by Negasonic Teenage Warhead from Deadpool. Sayu is trying to sound Malay and Japanese at the same time. Eve's name was originally Eva. The design of Eve is based on self-hatred (especially in her first video). As she grows older, she learns to love her skin condition, comfortably showing lots of skin. Unlike other bosses using external themes, Eve's body is her own theme. They did not want the characters to have surnames because they don't want to fall into the trap of Westernized naming.
Evolution of 1010's design from first trailer? They didn't have time for the first trailer but they always knew that they wanted 1010 to look a bit crazy. The design itself is a personal nod to Tron Uprising, which Daim worked for with Polygon Pictures previously.
Some Vinyl City history + writing tips Vinyl City used to have lots of music festivals, people from all over the world come over by boats, the lighthouse is a symbol of the festival, and the plaza used to house a lot of concert halls. Trying to investigate the props in the city gives lore of past music festivals. After NSR took over they rebuilt the basement of the tower, representing an arrogance in outbuilding a monument of the past after conquering it. The secret to good storywriting is control! When you make a twist, the battle is between making it too vague or obvious. Between the two, more obvious is the safer choice. It's okay for the readers/players to guess the twist early.
Why do the characters have weird skin colors? They want to break the barrier between skin color irl. That is why Mayday's orange skin is darker. Racism sucks. But the best explanation is that they just want the game to be more colorful , inspired partly by Steven Universe. Daim and Haz want to be as inclusive as possible, but they're restricted by their own inexperience with marginalized communities.
How old are the characters? DJSS is in his mid-30s. Zuke is 27-28, same as Eve. Mayday is 21. No idea how old Neon J is, they didn't want to answer what year the game takes place in. Definitely older than DJ.
1010 character roles + fight design 1010 roles were based on common k-boy band tropes. White is the leader, Red is the bad boy, Blue is the cool guy, Yellow is the maknae, Green is the eccentric guy. 1010's fight was always intended to be a breather between Yinu and Eve.
Cast Tech morse code? "I WOULD LOVE TO SUCK REAL ICE CREAM, MAKE IT DURIAN FLAVOR PLEASE" sent by DJSS. (It's an inside joke…)

Request: "i can hear your heartbeat- why is it going so fast all of a sudden?" + . "you love me?" "i always have." with steven grant? bby pls— [ 30. "i can hear your heartbeat- why is it going so fast all of a sudden?" / 25. "you love me?" "i always have." || Prompts from this list!]
Warnings: Fluff, Love Confessions, Getting Together
A/N: Had a little fun with this one but I hope it is to your liking <3
Tumblr media
He sat on the edge of his seat with a book in hand, that he paid no mind to. His eyes kept glancing up from the texted-filled pages, toward the black wooden door. You were bound to be here at any second and truth be told he knew he shouldn’t be this eager to see you; it felt wrong with the way everything was between you both— platonic.
Unfortunately, tonight was, “Friends Night”.
“Friends Night” was something you had suggested after the two of you had sadly admitted to not having dated in a while— his mostly being about his sleeping disorder. You two would spend a night, doing whatever preferred activity you two chose and just have a good time with each other. Tonight, you both had decided on a cozy night at his place, a fun adult-ish pajama party where you’d both would relax and enjoy some movies. However, the thought of seeing you in your pajamas has his brain far from anything relaxed. 
And right on cue, there was a knock and he shot up out of his seat; swinging the door with a little more gusto than intended. His eyes scan over you, mentally awwing at the sight of your oversized t-shirt and fuzzy little slippers you were wearing— you’re utterly adorable and he was falling harder by the second. 
“So, I got us some beers, a few snacks, and I brought several DVDs from my own collection– ranging from mild horror to action-comedy!” you smile, lightly shaking your bags in front of your face. 
“That’s great!” Steven praises, biting back from adding ‘love’ at the end. He steps aside to let you and you shimmy by laughing softly. he closes the door with a sigh, leaning briefly against it as he willed his heart to stop screaming. 
 “You moved the T.V.?” you called out, his attention turning away from his feelings. 
“Oh ye, you told me last time you were over, you’d love to lounge about whenever we went on our watching sprees, so I thought why not,” he shrugs, fiddling with the ends of his navy blue sweater. 
“That’s so sweet of you.” you coo and Steven, bows his head shyly, praying you can’t see the flush that runs through him. 
“S-so, what are we watching first?” he asked, walking over to you as you lay out your selections. He barely comprehends what your saying, too focused on the lovely smirk that keeps gracing your lips. 
The night goes smoothly, as it always does between the two of you. You both chat during the movie, criticizing characters, making jokes and wild scenarios whilst also talking about your favorite parts. It’s by the third movie, you both are feeling the effects of the night up until the end credits. You stand up without a word, moving to the side where he sat and grabbing his wrists, struggling to pull him from the bed. 
“What are you doing?” he laughs, complying with your silent request and stepping up off the bed. 
“We’re going to dance,” you hum, tugging him a little closer to you before sliding your hands up and intertwining your fingers.
“And why’s that?”
“Because I like this end credits song and cause I said so!” you stick out your tongue defiantly before you started twirling the both of you around. 
There wasn’t any direction to the dance you two were doing, in fact, you both were off-key but neither of you could stop smiling. The two of you twirl and sway all along his living room as the music played softly in the back of all your madness.  His eyes never leave your face, drinking up your beautiful smile and bright laughter— it’s intoxicating. It finally comes to an end as your limbs grow tired and the two of you start to wind down. He’s planning to release his grip when you pull him closer, wrapping your arms around his waist; into a tight hug with your face pressed against his chest. 
"I can hear your heartbeat— why is it going so fast all of a sudden?" you tease, nuzzling your face deeper and he stills. You’ve hugged plenty of times before but something about this one makes his heart sing and so he goes for it. 
“Well maybe– it’s because it likes you,” he mumbles out, squeezing his eyes shut as if he was about to be struck down by lightning. 
“What?”
“I said ‘well maybe it’s because it likes you’— like not platonically,” he cringes, wishing he didn’t sound like some sort of high-schooler. 
“Steven,” your voice doesn’t sound anything like a warning— like you're going to reject him, so he continues to speak. 
“I’m sorry if this makes things awkward but I don’t think I can wait anymore to say this.  And I know this is also an awkward time to say this, but I’ve been in love with you for quite some time, ye, and  I just, I just—” he pauses when you pull away, only to hold his hands and look him in the eye. 
“You love me?” you sound so in disbelief of that fact, that he almost wants to let out a sigh of relief. He squeezes them gently, rubbing his thumbs over the back of your hands.
“I always have,” he whispers, pressing his forehead to yours; it feels so right being here like this. You move again and before he can ask ‘why’, your lips are against his; giving him one of the sweetest kisses he’s ever had. He basks in the tenderness you give him, swallowing up your soft noises until you both break away for air. 
“Will you stay?” he murmurs, breath hot against your lips. 
“Where else would I go?” you grin and Steven hums in delight, pressing his lips right back where they belong.

What's your opinion about yttd?
Ok jokes aside, this will possibly be a pretty long one, but it's something that's constantly at the back of my head. Do you have any headcanons as to what advantages/disadvantages were given to different participants to even out the survival rates (other than the ones we know about)?
I might have more things to say if I refreshed my memory on earlier chapters but at this point I'm waiting for the steam release for a full replay. Starting from the lowest percentages:
Hinako Mishuku: we dont have enough information to make any real statements here but for the fun of it I'll say..... Her little bit of screentime is dedicated to making her sound already done with living. Being paired with Alice in a first trial might be a win-win for Asunaro, assuming Mishuku would never choose to survive alone, because if Alice abandons her that's a lil bit of mental torture Hiyori can sprinkle on the scenario of this otherwise repentant "Murderer" (his job, according to those percentage papers! lmao!). But in the scenario where they both survive that first trial? It might do this kid a world of good if she has built a bond of trust with someone. The trial being designed in a way that they'll have made their bond before ever seeing each other means stuff like Alice's prison clothes bear no weight in judging his trustworthiness (something that could also boost mid-tier Alice). Just some blind faith pulling this kid through a scary situation. Alice may be a blockhead at times but he's also a total sweetheart who has taken care of his younger sister to the best of his abilities his entire life, so he's probably also one of the best picks for a friend and guardian Mishuku could be in desperate need of.
Gin: my bets are on Mew-chan having a way to communicate information to Gin. YTTS even references Mew-chan maybe talking. Where did Gin learn about the Hades Incident? How Did he discover the passage in the room of rubble to the first floor? What made him think going down there was a hint towards escape? What happened with him while he was down there alone? Gin has some sort of information source without a clear indication of where he's getting it from, but it wouldn't be shocking if it came directly from the floormasters themselves.
Kanna: the phone message seems like the most targeted at her, though what specifically it was targeted to do is a little unclear. If I remember right Kanna's first trial was hinted to be set up differently from Sara and Mishima's but I'm not sure what Kugie's death is meant to do for her? Depending on what information floormasters are working with Miley could have teased Kanna about Kugie's death to push her away from Sara so she'll fall under Shin's protection? But that's a bit of a stretch. I get the impression that Hiyori doesn’t like Kanna much and the game does things to make her feel worse when she’s supposed to get help to balance out her percentage. But it cant just be Hiyori being petty over nothing since Asunaro can veto changes he wants to make like the Joe issue.
Mishima: Nao can vouch for his good character.
Dummies+Megumi: not enough info. Hayasaka may have been given a tougher execution style first trial because he has informational advantage over others?
Yabusames: as mentioned above Alice could have been helped had he worked with Mishuku, and all we know about Reko’s first trial is apparently she had no idea people could die doing those things so she must have had a fairly safe one?
Qtaro: his first trial is something that could have made him overly suspicious to drag him down, but the Final Attraction might have also been designed to drag down over performance.
Keiji: either I need to pay more attention to Keiji or I think we need to understand why he attached himself to Sara to get a sense of what his balancing has been. His first trial with Megumi is also strange with how low she is compared to Keiji. Hiyori spent 3-1 playing him like a fiddle but who knows about the other chapters.

WJMC Day 2!
Keep scrolling to read about my day at WJMC
Firstly can i just mention that this program was not made for very sleepy people (me) loll. All jokes aside let's jump right in. So my day started at 6am and i got ready to go to breakfast at Southside Dining Hall and some very delicious things were served. I had chocolate pancakes with eggs and potatoes THEN to top it all off and be cliche I had some orange juice with it and everything was just amazing. We then went to do our first simulation within our color group and this year our topic was overall on censorship. The group got a scenario on whether or not an article should be censored and we had to develop an argument to support what side we are on. In the end, we decided not to censor it and I overall enjoyed this activity as I feel it was very interactive and it shows both sides of journalism.
Tumblr media
Just a quick picture of what it looks like inside!
By the time all of this was done it was around 11:30 so yay lunch time! JUst a little side note, my color group nailed counting. ANYWAYS we got on the bus and on to banditos we went! They served tacos which I enjoyed a lot to the point of me wanting to go for seconds.
Tumblr media
amazing place I 100% recommend (:
After all of this eating of course I caught the itis and on our way to Pl.9oanet Word I took what I would label as one of THE best naps ever and it definitely fueled me up for what was next in store. My color group along with a couple others were the first set to listen and meet Mr. Doni Holloway. Throughout his speech he really spoke of his journey and also continuously mentioned he was once in our shoes as he was a national youth correspondent also. Mr. Holloway stresses the point of staying humble while also having humility. It was honestly really inspiring listening to him as it makes it a little easier to connect to him because of his and I's race. Holloway mentions how he built himself (with the foundation of WJMC) up with the help of others by networking and also encouraged the young student journalists to do the same. He advised us to get our name out there. "No just means not yet" is what Doni said and from this day onward it is what I'll live by. While I personally did not get a chance to speak to Mr. Holloway one on one, I did seek out his social mediums and plan to learn a thing or two from him, through conversations.
Tumblr media
Straight after this I walked around Planet Word for a bit, visited the gift shop, watched karaoke etc. Overall it was a lovely place with numerous interactive activities for visitors.
Tumblr media
I'd have to day this part was my favorite as i loved learning more of where words we use today came from and even some quirky facts about the English language.
We then went to lunch at Dudley's which I sadly did not get to take pictures of but I loved the place and food! Also somehow found out my animal is a purple betta fish??? How fun!
To end off our day we were taken to the White House which as a non American I was still very fascinated by it. I was highly surprised by the amount of tourists there but then again IT IS the White House so it was expected.
Tumblr media
loved it!
Finally we went to the Washington Monuments which i enjoyed dearly as it spoke of much of America's history. The place setting was overall very calm and it was so nice to just walk around and look in silence.
Tumblr media
My favorite picture so far (even posted it on instagram) and i just love how it captures everything in the moment and time is just frozen. I'd come back to the monuments any other day in my life as it was incredibly enjoyable.
BUTTTT that's a wrap for day 2 of WJMC (: I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it and please stay tuned for the third day and the days after that also. It is pushinggg 1 am at the moment so I'll just sign off and end it here. <3
