looking at old races is so weird bc it’s like yeah two people died but mario andretti won! go mario! and i’m like???? tf???? i had to write an essay about roger penske and i never realized how many people died until i researched these old races. look at the 1973 500 results, for example. 3 people died—2 drivers and 1 PIT CREW MEMBER????—and another driver was seriously injured. and then gordon johncock just went and won like it was nothing. can you imagine that happening now?
idk it makes me glad that i’m a racing fan NOW instead of then. sure, some of the greats raced then, but where they great because they were great or because they were the lucky ones who managed to stay in the race? in 1972–the year team penske got their first 500 victory (mark donohue)—there were 18 cars out of the race by the 400 mile mark. by the end, the only person on the lead lap was the leader. that’s nuts.
anyway y’all should look at some of these old races because they’re WILD. in that same race, jerry grant accidentally went into teammate al unser sr.’s pit and both of their pit crews serviced the car. how does that even happen 💀
EDIT: the first 500 my dad saw was was 74, so he did not see that shitshow of a race in person. however, he did see gordon smiley’s fatal wreck in 82 (look that up if you can handle it—it’s awful). they announced that he was dead on the track and finished the race.

hi coza! may i request a short fic of fem!reader joining sanji for a smoke break? reader asks sanji to light her cigarette by leaning close to the lit cigarette on his lips 😌 plus lots of flirting between them lovers 💖 thank you!
Characters: female reader x Sanji Cw: none :) Total word count: 500
Smoke Break
“I thought I’d find you out here,” you said, climbing up onto the rooftop. “Hiding away?”
Sanji smiled as he moved over, allowing you to sit next to him. “They’re so damn noisy all of the time.”
You laughed, reaching into his pocket and grabbing his box of cigarettes. “Noisy, yes.” You pulled out a cigarette and easily slipped the box back into his pocket, as you had done hundreds of times before. “But they’re all still very loveable.”
Sanji rolled his eyes. “Maybe the ladies, sure-you most of all. But those guys…”
“I disagree!” You argued. “I find the guys on this ship to be very loveable! You most of all.”
You gave him a wink as you raised the cigarette to your mouth, and you could see a hint of jealousy flicker across his face. Perhaps you had gone too far with that last comment. Better to make amends before he started thinking too much about it.
“Got a light?” you asked coyly. You both knew he did.
He didn’t have as much enthusiasm as he pulled his lighter out of his jacket pocket.
You ignored his outstretched hand, choosing to lean in close to him and press your cigarette against his, your faces so close that you could feel his shallow breath against you. 
You locked eyes with him, portraying a secret only for him. He was the only one you loved so deeply. He was the only one who knew you - truly knew you. And once you were certain he realized that, you pulled away from him with a smirk on your face. 
“Thanks, love,” you said softly, exhaling out a cloud of smoke.
You didn’t have to look over at him to know his face was beet red. “You-you can’t-you-”
“Sanji darling,” you gave an exasperated sigh. “All I did was ask for a light.”
“That is not all you did!” he huffed, taking another long drag to calm his nerves. 
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” you giggled, letting your eyes roam across the ship to watch the others.
Luffy has somehow managed to get tangled up in some ropes and nets, and though Zoro had tried to help him, it appeared that he had also gotten tangled up in it as well. Nami had taken to screaming at them as the only avenue of helping them get out. 
“We certainly have our work cut out for us on this ship, don’t we?”
“I’m afraid so,” Sanji sighed. “But at least I’ve got you.”
You leaned your head against his shoulder, letting out a pleased hum. “And I have you, you crazy lovesick cook.”

⚣ Domestic Living With Jason 🩳
Tumblr media
⚣🩳 A/N → I'm physically incapable of writing anything under 500 words. But, this was inspired by my love of compression shirts (especially the Under Armor ones and how I would do exactly this if my boyfriend tried to walk out wearing one). May start a series off this, we'll see. Warnings: Domestic Vibes. Married Energy. Suggestive Langauge. Swearing. Petty Jason.
⚣🩳 Summary → Domestic life is something. Domestic life with Jason Todd is another thing. One moment, you're ready to fight this man. Next moment, you're ready to fight this man. *wink wink* Wait, hold up. Jason, what the hell are you wearing?!
⚣🩳 Words → 1.5K
REBLOGS & replies are greatly appreciated, please! 💛
⚣ ENJOY 🩳
Tumblr media
“Jason, hurry up! I need to get back so I can finish this essay.” Y/N yelled from the living room of his and his boyfriend’s shared apartment.
If you asked him a year ago what he figured living with his boyfriend would be like, he’d more than likely answer with a lot of freaking sex. Of course, other things came with it, but that was the first thing that always came to mind.
It also came with a lot of stay-at-home dates. Jason was unsurprisingly a natural homebody and loved to spend his evenings when he could with his lovely boyfriend cuddled against his body while watching a movie or playing a game and munching down on some takeout.
Truthfully, it was nice seeing how Jason was in a domestic situation. It served as a reminder to Y/N that under all those scars, grumpiness, and tough exterior was just a boy who wanted to be loved.
On the other end, living with Jason made Y/N take a long, hard look in the mirror and reflect on all the bad habits he had when living at home with his parents and starting college. For example, time management…
Before he started dating Jason, Y/N was the kind of person who waited till twenty minutes before he had to leave to start getting dressed. Whenever someone would text him and ask for his location, he’d respond telling them he was leaving the house now.
Then, when he was actually leaving the house and they’d text him again, he’d respond saying he was on the freeway. Truly, the best example of what not to do when he wanted to be on time somewhere.
After he started dating Jason though, and especially when they moved in together, Y/N sent a long apology to his parents who had tried for years to teach him better time management. The crazy thing about that was when they asked him why he was apologizing and he explained that Jason’s time management made him look like an angel, they didn’t believe him!
In their eyes, Jason was a saint who could do no wrong. Which was ironic considering Y/N’s dad promised to castrate any man who dared even look his son’s way. And his mom, well, not sure that’s really appropriate to mention.
Yet, when it came to Mr. Jason Peter Todd, he might as well have been hand-delivered from God himself. Maybe it was because his boyfriend could and would be late to anything else in the world (Lord knows Bruce went through hell and back just to get him to be on time for family dinner), but if it was anything involving Mr. and Mrs. Y/L/N, he was twenty minutes early with a gift he picked up from the local Target.
It also could be that Jason was the world’s biggest kiss-ass (when he needed to be) and used that to wrap Y/N’s parents around his finger. Either or…
But now, since they were only going to the gym, Jason was of course taking his sweet time to get ready, which, every passing second was another snap of one of Y/N’s nerves. Truthfully, he would’ve just grabbed his keys and left without him, but the last time he did that, Jason went and bought a steering-wheel clutch to put on his car and hid the keys from him for two weeks.
Another thing Y/N’s parents would never believe about their son’s beloved boyfriend; the fucker was petty as hell.
“I’m coming, babe! Be out in a sec,” Jason yelled from behind their bedroom door.
“You said that five minutes ago!”
“Sorry, I don’t recall. Maybe you imagined it.”
This gaslighting motherfu–
Y/N had to take a deep breath to calm his growing impulsive need to bust down that door and slap the fuck out of his boyfriend’s neck. It didn’t help…
“You can’t hit your boyfriend. You can’t hit your boyfriend. You can’t hit your boyfriend,” Y/N mumbled to himself while tapping his foot against the floor repeatedly to distract himself from the ticking seconds passing by in his mind.
Two minutes later, the door opened and revealed his tall and bulky man looking ever so fresh and handsome. Though Y/N was still irritated beyond belief, the sight of his boyfriend’s handsome face who grew a smile and twinkle in his eyes when he looked at him always managed to dissipate his temper.
Not by much though. Jason’s neck still looked like a very bright and large target just waiting for a good sting from the palm of his hands.
Maybe Tim was right, they were a match made in heaven just off violent tendencies alone.
“That was not a sec,” Y/N reprimanded in a grumble.
Jason’s smile turned into a self-satisfied grin while he walked past his boyfriend to their coat closet, grabbing his abnormally large gym shoes. Seriously, what size is this man’s foot?
“Hey, it’s not my fault you waited till the last day to finish your homework.” He replied while tying his shoe.
“Um, actually it is. Every time I tried to sit down and work on it, you’d either start complaining about how I wasn’t paying any attention to you or you’d get randomly horny and start touching me in ways that shall not be named and I’d end up with your dick inside me.”
Y/N immediately regretted his words when he saw how Jason looked up from finishing his last shoe, a lustful blown look on his face as he eyed his body up and down. Thankfully, he didn’t seem like he was about to act on his impulses as he kept tying his shoe without looking before standing back up.
Why was that hot?
“Sounds like you need to practice self-control, sir.”
Oh, no he didn’t.
“Sir, I was already tempted to smack the back of your neck before. I beg you to not increase that urge.”
“Do it. I dare you,” Jason challenged, standing right in front of him with his towering frame. The tone in his voice and the look on his face were signaling something that Y/N was very tempted to answer, but he had to keep rationality in the forefront of his mind.
“You not worth it,” He responded, side-stepping him while going to grab his jacket.
“Yeah, that’s what I thought.”
Tumblr media
“Sir, don’t get fu–”
It was at that moment Y/N took a full look at his boyfriend, specifically what he was wearing. And while the sight was something he wouldn’t mind staring at, he definitely didn’t want other people staring at him.
“Excuse me, but what in the hell are you wearing?” Y/N asked, still looking him up and down.
Jason looked confused for a moment, also looking at his outfit, not seeing what the problem was.
“Um, a shirt and sweats? Is this a trick question or,”
“Why is it so tight? Who are you trying to show off for?”
This man was wearing a black compression shirt and gray joggers like it was just a regular Sunday. The Lord is watching, how dare he?!
Jason’s smirk immediately came back when he realized what he was really about, “Oh, what? I can’t wear tight clothes now to the gym?”
“Not unless you want me to fight bitches. Because, just in case you forgot, I do fight bitches.”
“Language, or I’m telling mom. And I like it when you fight over me,” He said while grabbing at Y/N’s waist.
He immediately popped the vigilante’s hands off him, “Don’t involve my mother in and hands off mister.”
“Our mother, thank you,” Jason corrected.
“It’s giving incestuous, and last time I checked, there is no ring on this finger and my last name is not Todd.”
“Don’t tempt me.”
Y/N was sat.
“I-, that was really hot and we’re gonna move on from that,” Y/N responded, and Jason once again had a cocky smirk on his face. Lord knows this man was more than likely dead serious. He’d drop everything and drive to a ring shop right now.
“Anyway, you need to go change sir. I don’t need them dirty, mud-bathing rats staring at what is for my eyes only.” Y/N responded, pointing back to their bedroom waiting for Jason to move.
“Oh, so I need to go change, but when you were wearing those tiny shorts, showing off what’s supposed to be for my eyes only, I got told to mind the business that pays me,” Jason asked with a laugh.
“Are you on my payroll?” Y/N questioned.
“No.”
“My point still stands.”
“You think you’re funny,”
“I think I’m hilarious, actually. In fact, I’m so funny, I’m going to get the extra small shorts I just got in the mail since you want to play with me.” Y/N turned around and sprinted for their bedroom.
“Oh, I’ll play all day,” Jason mumbled under his breath before throwing their gym bags down to the ground and kicking off his shoes before following his boyfriend into the room.
They did not make it to the gym, but they definitely got their workout in.

// 김 jiwoong.
seated at a corner table, you were engrossed in your work, laptop open, fingers dancing across the keyboard. lost in your world of words and ideas, you hardly noticed jiwoong, your ever-adoring boyfriend, quietly sipping his latte at the opposite side of the table.
he gazed at you with a warm, affectionate smile, his eyes sparkling like sunlight on a tranquil lake. with a playful twinkle, he began, “you know, ive always thought that if words were colors, the ones you type would paint the most beautiful masterpiece.”
you looked up, surprised by his poetic remark. a soft blush tinged your cheeks as you replied, “oh, come on. you're just saying that to distract me.”
jiwoong chuckled, his laughter like a soft melody. “maybe i am. but can you blame me? i can't resist stealing your attention away from those words for just a moment.”
you rolled your eyes playfully. “you're shameless.” he leaned forward, his voice turning slightly serious. “i'm shamelessly in love with you.”
a delighted giggle escaped your lips. “flattery will get you everywhere, you know.”
jiwoongs gaze turned thoughtful as he looked out of the window, his eyes fixed on the swaying branches of a nearby tree. “you know, watching the leaves dance in the wind reminds me of you. effortlessly beautiful and always moving forward.”
you leaned back, your heart fluttering at his words. “smooth talker.”
“im just speaking from the heart,” he said, his fingers tracing an imaginary path on the table. “and my heart tells me that i miss you even though you're right in front of me.”
your fingers paused over the keyboard, a soft smile tugging at your lips. “youre the one who chose to come with me to the café, remember?”
your boyfriend sighed dramatically, a hand on his chest. “ah, but my heart didn't get the memo. its been pining for your attention.”
with an exaggerated roll of your eyes, you pushed your laptop aside. “alright, you win. what do you want, mr. heart-pining?”
he grinned, his eyes gleaming mischievously. “just a kiss to tide my heart over until youre done conquering the literary world.”
a delighted laugh bubbled up from your chest as you leaned across the table, meeting him halfway. your lips met in a sweet, lingering kiss that felt like a promise of forever.
as you pulled back, jiwoongs eyes held a mix of adoration and playfulness. “thank you for indulging my heart.”
“youre welcome,” you replied, your fingers now entwined with his. “but only because youre my favorite distraction.”
// 장 hao.
you stood by a large window, your voice weaving a gentle tapestry of words as you spoke to your mother over the phone. the room itself seemed to listen, its walls echoing with your laughter and the comforting words exchanged.
unbeknownst to you, hao watched from a distance, his heart swelling with affection for the beautiful scene before him. his tousled hair and sleepy eyes hinted at a man who had just risen from dreams, but his determination sparkled brighter than the morning sun. a mischievous grin tugged at the corners of his lips as he plotted his charming disruption.
with a soft, silent step, your boyfriend closed the distance between you. his fingers brushed over the piano, and a soft melody trickled into the air, a backdrop for his silent advance. your voice continued to flow, but his eyes met yours, a playful gleam dancing within them. as his fingers reached you, they brushed against your arm in a featherlight touch.
your startled laughter bubbled through the phone, a melody that blended with the piano's notes. “mom, i think there's a tickle monster on the loose!” you teased, glancing toward hao. he chuckled, his fingers stilling on the keys.
“im innocent, i swear,” he chimed, his voice a gentle harmony to the symphony of the morning.
your mothers laughter resonated through the phone, a distant yet warm presence. “well, it sounds like you two are having a wonderful morning.”
haos fingers now traced patterns along your forearm, leaving a trail of tingling sensations in their wake. “speaking of wonderful mornings, i think this one could be even more wonderful if someone would spare a moment for her boyfriend.”
you rolled your eyes in playful exasperation. “hao, youre not going to give up, are you?”
his gaze held yours, his eyes twinkling. “never, especially not when it comes to winning your affection.”
a soft sigh escaped you, one that carried the depth of your fondness. “mom, ive got a persistent charmer here who wont let me concentrate.”
her laughter flowed through the line, a soft caress. “well, dear, enjoy these moments. love like that is a treasure.”
your boyfriends fingers found their way to your cheeks, his touch warm against your skin. “see, even your mom agrees. now, how about a kiss?”
you glanced at him, feigning resistance. “oh, fine. but only if you promise to behave afterward.”
his eyes danced with playful mischief as his lips met yours in a sweet, lingering kiss. “deal,” he murmured against your lips, his voice a whispered promise.
// 성 hanbin.
a gentle hum of laughter and conversations filled the air as you and your friends sat around the table, immersed in your chatter. the table was adorned with a bouquet of vibrant wildflowers, their colors echoing the joyous atmosphere.
hanbin leaned back comfortably in his chair, a playful glint in his eyes. hed been trying to catch your attention all evening, but you were engrossed in your friends' anecdotes.
as one of your friends animatedly recounted a hilarious work story, hanbin softly cleared his throat from beside you. you glanced at him, and he flashed you an endearing smile that made your heart skip a beat.
“you know,” he began casually, “i heard they have the most amazing desserts here. maybe we should order something sweet to share?”
you nodded in agreement, and your attention returned to your friends. your boyfriends hand found its way to the back of your chair, his fingers gently grazing your shoulder, sending a tingling sensation down your spine. he leaned in a little closer, his voice a hushed whisper only you could hear.
“i think youre the sweetest thing here, though,” he teased, his lips brushing against your earlobe. you stifled a giggle, trying to keep your composure as his words sent warmth rushing to your cheeks.
just as you thought hanbin might be satisfied with his display of affection, he took it up a notch. your friend was now sharing a particularly amusing anecdote, and hanbins fingers lightly traced patterns on your forearm, his touch featherlight and barely noticeable to anyone else. your skin prickled with awareness, and you shot him a sideways glance.
“what are you doing?” you whispered, a playful glint in your eyes as you caught on to his game.
hanbin grinned mischievously. “who, me? im just appreciating the fine art of touch communication.”
you chuckled softly, leaning closer to him. “well, mr. communication expert, what else do you have up your sleeve?”
his eyes sparkled with excitement as he leaned even closer, his lips now barely brushing against your ear. “how about this?” he murmured, his fingers tracing a heartwarming pattern on the inside of your wrist.
you couldnt help the soft sigh that escaped your lips. hanbin always knew how to make your heart dance with delight. as the evening progressed, you found yourself stealing glances and exchanging secret smiles with him, a silent dialogue of affection that only the two of you shared.
and as the night drew to a close, dessert plates now cleared, hanbins hand found yours beneath the table, his fingers interlocking with yours in a silent promise of forever.
// 석 matthew.
in the clinking of weights and the hum of machines filling the air, you were engrossed in your workout routine, headphones on, completely absorbed in the rhythm of your exercises.
your boyfriend stood nearby, a playful and yet proud smile tugging at the corners of his lips. he watched you lift dumbbells with focused determination, your brows slightly furrowed. unable to resist any longer, he strolled over and leaned against a nearby machine, his warm brown eyes fixated on you.
“youre looking incredibly impressive there,” he quipped, his voice a playful whisper that barely reached your ears above the music.
you blinked, momentarily taken aback before a grin broke across your face. “oh, so you think im finally lifting as much as you?”
matthew chuckled, his gaze dancing with amusement. “well, i wouldnt go that far. but youre definitely getting there.”
as you continued your set, matthews fingers lightly grazed your arm, causing a pleasant shiver to race down your spine. “need any pointers?” he asked, a hint of boyish charm in his tone.
you rolled your eyes playfully. “i think ive got this, thank you very much.”
he leaned in closer, his voice a conspiratorial whisper. “ive seen your squats, and i must admit, theyre pretty impressive.”
a soft flush crept up your cheeks, but you tried to hide it by focusing on your next set. your boyfriend seemed determined to keep your attention, however. with a grin, he gently adjusted your posture, his fingers guiding your movements. “here, a little shift in your stance will give you better balance.”
you complied, surprised by how his touch not only corrected your form but also sent a pleasant warmth radiating through you. “thanks, i can feel the difference.”
matthews fingers lingered for a moment longer than necessary, his touch becoming a lingering caress. “anytime, my personal training services are always available,” he teased.
betwixt the exchanged flirtatious glances and playfully bickering comments, matthews care and affection were evident. he fetched a water bottle for you, making sure you stayed hydrated, and subtly encouraged you through the more challenging sets.
as the session continued, he surprised you by joining in, effortlessly matching your pace. “you make this look so easy,” you huffed, sweat-drenched and slightly breathless.
matthew grinned, his shirt clinging to his chest as he mimicked your exercises. “well, someones gotta make sure youre not the only one suffering here.”
// 김 taerae.
as you stood by the stove, carefully flipping pancakes, your boyfriend entered the kitchen with a rascal expression. “hey there,” he chimed, wrapping his arms around your waist from behind. his touch was both affectionate and reassuring.
you chuckled, focusing on not letting the pancakes burn. “good morning, taerae. whats the occasion for this sneak attack?”
he rested his chin on your shoulder, observing your culinary skills with genuine admiration. “no occasion. i just realized how lucky i am to have a girlfriend who can turn flour and eggs into something magical.”
you rolled your eyes playfully. “yeah. youre just buttering me up because you want some pancakes.”
“guilty as charged,” he admitted with a chuckle. his fingers traced gentle circles on your waist, sending shivers down your spine. “but also because i want some of your attention too.”
you finally turned off the stove and turned to face him, your eyes meeting his twinkling gaze. “you have my attention now. what do you want?”
taerae feigned innocence, his lips curling into a youthful grin. “hmm, maybe a kiss to start with?”
you pretended to consider his request, tapping your finger against your chin. “lets see. pancakes or a kiss… tough choice.”
he gasped in mock astonishment. “are you saying my kisses arent as delicious as your pancakes?”
you leaned in, pressing a sweet kiss to his lips. “definitely not as delicious, but close enough.”
he pulled you into a warm hug, his arms encircling you tightly. “ill take close enough.”
as you both swayed gently to an imaginary rhythm, the aroma of breakfast filled the air. taeraes fingers idly drew patterns on your back as he spoke softly. “you know, i think im addicted to your touch.”
you chuckled, nuzzling your head against his chest. “oh really? do you need a daily dose of my touch to function properly?”
“absolutely,” he replied without hesitation. “its like a warm, comforting energy that i cant get enough of.”
with the pancakes ready, you playfully extricated yourself from his embrace and set the table. “well, i guess i cant deny you your daily dose of affection then.”
he helped you with the plates, his eyes never leaving your face. “you know, im starting to believe that the best moments in life happen right here in this kitchen.”
you handed him a plate with a smirk. “are you saying that my cooking is the key to your heart?”
“among other things,” he teased, winking at you. “but honestly, its the love and laughter that fill this space that make it so special.”
// 리키 ricky.
as you saw the sun dipping below the horizon, casting a warm, golden hue over the quaint little restaurant, you found yourself seated at a beautifully set table alongside your family. the ambiance was serene, with gentle music playing in the background and the distant sounds of laughter and clinking cutlery from nearby tables. the scent of delectable dishes wafted through the air, making your stomach rumble in anticipation.
ricky sat beside you. he was dressed in a crisp white shirt that accentuated his blonde, tousled hair and his beautiful grin. you could feel his leg occasionally brushing against yours under the table, his way of seeking connection even in a crowd.
as the first course arrived, ricky leaned in slightly, his lips almost grazing your ear as he whispered, “hey, have i told you how stunning you look tonight?”
you chuckled softly, feeling a warm blush creep up your cheeks. “if im not mistaken, you already mentioned it thrice," you replied with a playful twinkle in your eye.
across the table, your sibling raised an eyebrow and grinned knowingly. “are you two whispering sweet nothings over there?” they teased.
your boyfriend leaned back, a sheepish grin on his face. “just trying to keep the romance alive,” he quipped, earning an amused chuckle from your parents.
as the main course was served, rickys fingers found their way to yours beneath the tablecloth. his touch was gentle and reassuring, a silent reminder of his presence amidst the family gathering. you intertwined your fingers with his, giving his hand a tender squeeze, and he responded with a loving smile that melted your heart.
between the clatter of cutlery and the hum of conversation, rickys foot subtly brushed against yours. you shot him a questioning look, and he raised an innocent eyebrow, feigning innocence. “oops, sorry,” he said, barely suppressing a mischievous grin.
your mother, ever perceptive, couldnt help but notice the exchange. she leaned in, a knowing smile on her lips. “just be sure to save some affection for dessert, you two,” she advised with a wink.
dessert arrived in the form of decadent chocolate cake, accompanied by a scoop of velvety vanilla ice cream. rickys eyes lit up as he took his first bite, and he couldnt resist offering you a forkful with an impish grin. “here, a taste of heaven.”
you indulged in the delicious treat, savoring the sweet and creamy flavors. “mmm, youre right. this is amazing,” you agreed, your eyes locked on his.
as the evening drew to a close, with your family engaged in cheerful chatter and laughter, rickys hand found its way to the small of your back. his touch was light yet possessive, a silent promise that he was there by your side, no matter the setting.
with a satisfied sigh, you leaned into his touch, feeling a sense of contentment wash over you. the restaurants warm lighting and the soft buzz of conversation created a cocoon of intimacy around the two of you.
as the night wound down and your family began to bid their farewells, your boyfriend stood up, helping you with your chair. his fingers brushed against yours again, his touch lingering as he leaned in to press a soft kiss to your cheek. “thanks for letting me crash your family dinner,” he whispered, his warm breath sending shivers down your spine.
you turned to him, your heart full of affection. “anytime, as long as you keep bringing that charming smile of yours,” you replied with a grin.
with a final, lingering touch, he intertwined his fingers with yours and led you out of the restaurant.
// 김 gyuvin.
as you sat on your plane seat, you decided to put on your favorite playlist, drowning out the noise of the plane engines with your favorite tunes.
beside you, gyuvin shifted in his seat, trying to find a comfortable position. he glanced over at you, an affectionate smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “hey, you,” he said, leaning in closer to you.
you looked up from your phone, surprised by his sudden closeness. “hey there,” you replied, taking out one earbud and offering him a curious smile.
“mind if i join your musical adventure?” he asked, gesturing to the empty seat next to you.
you grinned and removed the other earbud, handing it to him. “sure, pick a song.”
he scrolled through your playlist, his eyebrows raising in pleasant surprise. “you have great taste,” he noted before selecting a song.
as the music played, you both bobbed your heads slightly in time with the beat. the melody created a light, carefree atmosphere, perfect for the journey ahead. gyuvin leaned back in his seat, but his fingers couldn't seem to stay still. they tapped rhythmically against his thigh, his hand occasionally brushing against yours.
“you know,” he began, his tone casual, “ive heard that couples who listen to music together are destined to stay together.”
you chuckled, raising an eyebrow at him. “is that so? and whos your source for this theory?”
he pretended to ponder for a moment, his lips curling into a mischievous grin. “well, the source might be me, but its still a valid theory.”
you playfully rolled your eyes, but a warm feeling spread through your chest. his playful nature was one of the things you loved most about him. as the music continued, gyuvins leg brushed against yours more frequently. he let his pinky finger graze against yours, his touch sending a tingle up your spine.
turning to him, you teased, “is this your subtle way of asking for affection?”
he chuckled, his cheeks taking on a faint rosy hue. “maybe just a little,” he admitted. “i mean, its a long flight. a guy needs some cuddle time, right?”
you laughed softly, your heart swelling with adoration for this man beside you. “well, i guess i cant argue with that.”
leaning a bit closer, gyuvin intertwined his fingers with yours, his touch warm and reassuring. “see, thats better,” he said with a grin. “much cozier.”
the two of you shared a comfortable silence, the music playing in your ears as the plane continued its journey. the sun had now fully set, painting the sky with shades of deep purples and blues. the cabin lights were dimmed, creating an intimate ambiance.
your boyfriend leaned his head against yours, his breath tickling your ear. “you know, i wouldnt mind if this plane ride lasted a little longer,” he whispered, his voice carrying a hint of playfulness.
you turned your head to meet his gaze, your heart fluttering at the affection in his eyes. “whys that?”
he shrugged, his lips curling into a tender smile. “just means more time for us to listen to music, share some cuddles, and maybe steal a few kisses.”
blushing, you leaned in, capturing his lips with your own.
// 박 gunwook.
you lay in your bedroom, your peaceful slumber untouched by the world around you. your room was like a haven of serenity, decorated with gentle shades of pastel and sunbeams filtering through the sheer curtains.
with you being unaware, gunwook has arrived earlier that morning. a playful smile danced on his lips as he watched you sleep, cherishing the quiet moments when he could admire your beauty without your witty retorts. he sat at the edge of the bed, his tousled hair giving him an endearing charm.
“gosh, youre so adorable when you sleep,” gunwook mused to himself, his voice a tender whisper.
a faint snore escaped you, and he chuckled softly. leaning in, he brushed a stray lock of hair from your face. his fingers lingered on your cheek, caressing it ever so gently, as if he was painting his affection through touch.
your lips curved into a slight smile in response to his touch, even in your slumber. he leaned closer, his lips hovering just above your ear.
“hey sleepyhead, time to wake up,” he murmured, his warm breath tickling your skin.
you stirred, a sweet sigh escaping you. “five more minutes,” you mumbled, your words laced with sleep.
gunwooks fingers traced a delicate path down your arm, leaving a trail of goosebumps in their wake. he chuckled again, the sound like a soothing melody. “you say that every morning, sweetheart.”
he let his fingers dance along your arm until they reached your hand. taking it in his, he gave it a gentle squeeze. “come on, the world is waiting for us today.”
you finally cracked open an eye, meeting his adoring gaze. “hmm, cant we just stay in bed forever?”
he laughed softly, his eyes sparkling with affection. “as tempting as that sounds, theres a whole day ahead of us. and ive got plans.”
your curiosity piqued, and you sat up slowly, rubbing the sleep from your eyes. “plans? what kind of plans?”
gunwooks grin widened. “ah, thats a secret for now. but first, i need you to be fully awake.” he tugged playfully at your hand.
you smirked, a playful glint in your eye. “so, waking me up is just a ploy to get my attention, huh?”
he leaned in, his lips brushing your forehead in a soft kiss. “well, that and the fact that i missed you.”
your heart fluttered at his words, a warm feeling spreading through you. “okay, okay, im up. but only because youre cute when you're desperate for attention."
your boyfriend feigned shock, a hand placed dramatically over his heart. “desperate for attention? me? never.”
you both shared a laugh, the sound filling the room with joy. as you got out of bed, gunwook wrapped his arms around you from behind, resting his chin on your shoulder.
“ready for the adventures of the day, my love?” he whispered, his voice filled with anticipation.
you leaned back into his embrace, a content smile gracing your lips. “always, as long as youre by my side.”
한 yujin.
pages were turning, notes were being jotted down, and equations were being solved as you were studying for your upcoming exam. little did you know, your doting boyfriend had something entirely different in mind.
with a twinkle in his eyes, yujin strolled over to your table, his tall figure casting a gentle shadow on your books. “hey there, brilliant mind,” he whispered, his voice a warm caress against your ear.
startled, you looked up, a surprised smile dancing across your lips. “yujin, you scared me…”
he snickered, his fingertips tracing invisible patterns on your back as he leaned down to peck your cheek. “sorry about that, but i just couldnt resist interrupting your study marathon.”
you playfully rolled your eyes. “oh really? and whats the occasion?”
he smirked, his hand moving to ruffle your hair affectionately. “no occasion, just missing my favorite person.”
returning to your notes, you raised an eyebrow. “mhm, and how exactly do i know youre not just craving snacks?”
yujin leaned against the table, his elbow barely grazing yours. “well, i might be a bit peckish too, but mostly i wanted to spend some time with you. just the two of us and these captivating textbooks,” he winked, his voice dripping with playful sincerity.
you couldnt help but chuckle, your annoyance at the interruption melting away. “youre something else, yujin.”
he grinned, his fingers now drawing soft circles on the back of your hand. “thats why you love me, right?”
you sighed dramatically. “i suppose so. but only because youre cute.”
yujins laughter filled the air, warm and melodic. “ah, youve discovered my secret weapon.”
with a mock sigh, you finally surrendered, closing your book and turning your attention to him. “fine, you win. what do you want to do?”
his face lit up, clearly thrilled that he had your full attention. “how about a study break? we can explore that garden outside. i heard theyve got roses that rival your beauty.”
you playfully nudged his shoulder. “smooth talker, arent you?”
he winked, his fingers now tracing your palm. “only for you.”
as you both stood up, yujin took your hand in his, his grip gentle and warm. the two of you walked towards the french doors leading to the garden, your steps light and laughter echoing in the air.
the garden was a riot of color, with vibrant flowers swaying in the breeze. your boyfriends arm found its way around your waist as he pointed out various blooms, narrating stories about each one. you couldnt help but be charmed by his enthusiasm.
as you both found a cozy bench beneath a blossoming cherry tree, yujin pulled you close, his head resting on your shoulder. “you know, i think i could get used to studying like this."
you smiled, leaning into him. “well, its definitely more enjoyable with you around.”
he pressed a soft kiss to your temple, his fingers idly drawing circles on your thigh. “ill always be here to distract you, you know that, right?”
you tilted your head to look at him, your heart swelling with affection. “yeah, i do. and i wouldnt have it any other way.”

Bat Wives Wine Night
AZRIEL X READER
This is my first thing I’ve put out to public eyes...ever. So please be nice. I had this idea for awhile and this is mostly a teaser to what I truly want to write. I want to make this a full imagine with smut. If you like this idea and want to see a spicier version to how this night ends please let me know. I’m always open to criticism and always looking for advice so as long as we are nice about it let me know what you think. Im gonna start writing more stuff and will be open to requests. Thank you and I hope you like this little teaser. 
PART 2:
WARNINGS: drugs and alch used responsibly, dirty thoughts by the bat boys
CONCEPT: The bat boys finally realize what their mates are up to on their top secret Wine Nights 
“Oh my gods…you’re right” Feyre softly said. 
     Feyre, Nesta, and I were sitting at the River House sipping on wine and enjoying what we call Bat Wives Wine Night when I had the realization that our husbands have had 500 plus years of experience and fun while us wives are in our 20’s being depressed and stressed for majority of our lives. This was unacceptable and not fair at all. We deserve to let loose and live a little. Go drink til we throw up, smoke mirthroot and tobacco as we pleased. To just be stupid, reckless teens. A night where we didn’t have to be perfect, just ourselves. We all looked at each other with understanding that our simple little wine nights just became a lot more fun. 
    “Okay ladies, once a month like we do now we keep letting our mates think we have wine, eat cheese on a platter and gossip. But let’s just go crazy, do whatever we want because we feel like it. Because we can. We’re young, hot, and rich. Let’s just be stupid, not enough to be dangerous but enough to have some memories to laugh fondly at just like our darling husbands. We are Bat Wives, I say we give them a run for their money.” I declare loudly watching my High Lady’s eyes light up with mischief (just like her mate). Nesta’s feline grin gave me the approval I needed from her. Thank the Mother our mates were not here to hear us declare our secret fun. 
    “Our mates will find out though, eventually. Cass is nosey, drills me on what happens on our Wine Nights. Such a gossip…” Nesta whispers the last part. 
    “Plus your mate is the Spymaster…” Feyre concludes by taking a sip of her wine. Yes he is, my beautiful, sweet, loving mate. Azriel. We’ve been married and mated for over a year now. I met him at a time when I swore off love at the nice age of 19 years old. But he was so kind and patient, building up our friendship first and making me feel seen as a person. He is a wonderful male and he had to fight many battles to get where he is today. But I am not Azriel, I’ve barely traveled out of my own court. Our perspectives can be quite different which I love but I want to create my own experiences as well. After the war, after almost dying I realized life can be taken from me at any moment and I want to spend those moments knowing I made good memories. That I lived. Even if it’s once a month with my sister in laws doing something as silly as smoking mirthroot. It’s something to ease the soul, bonding between just us girls. 
    “So what? Let’s see how long we can go til they figure it out. Make it a game, see how far we can go before they find out just how unhinged we are.” I giggle just a bit tipsy. The girls and I burst out laughing and start planning what we should do next month. 
*TWO YEARS LATER*
   Two years and counting. Our darling husbands STILL think we have a quiet night in with some books and snacks. It’s truly comical. It’s also nice to know something they don’t. 
“I’ll miss you.” Az murmurs in my hair, holding me til I walk into the River House front door. I tighten my arms around his waist and breathe him in. He takes a step back looking at me, love and adoration flowing through the bond between us. Az looks heart eyed, as if seeing me for the first time. I can’t tease him because I know for a fact I’m looking at him with the very same look. 
    “Can you guys just make out already so we can start drinking?” Nesta says unamused. I jumped back from Azriel, startled. When did she open the door? Nesta walks further away from us into a deeper part of the house. I turn back to find Az already looking at me. Something about Azriel is he is absolutely clingy in the best way possible. Physical touch and quality time are his love languages, any time we have to part it’s a bit dramatic because we simply hate saying goodbye. It’s the love I’ve always wanted. I love the Wine Nights as he has nights with his brothers to get away but nothings better than coming home and finding my place within his arms. 
    “If you ever wanna leave early just let me know and we can cuddle and I can go down on you.” Az’s cheeky grin showed proudly. I laugh while pushing him, he grabs my wrist playfully holding me to him. He brushes some hair from my cheek and presses his smooth lips to mine. We stand there for what feels like hours just feeling each other's breath mingle, when he glides his naughty tongue against my lips I pull away. Both us panting I say, “Go Az, before I actually ditch them for you.” I giggle. He very reluctantly peels his hands off my body and shoots up the sky with a wink, surely a promise of great fun when he picks me up tomorrow morning. 
        With the mating haze slowly leaving my brain a new found giddiness found its way in. We’ve started doing full on sleepovers instead of a few hours of mingling. That way we can return to the River House and clean up before our mates return to us. Truthfully it started after Feyre had way too many tequila shots and threw up for two hours begging us not to call for Rhys as our “cover” would be blown. I skip into the River House and take a look at my girls. 
    “Ready to fuck shit up?” I ask. “We’ve been ready, we were betting if you two would actually fuck on my front door.” Feyre says as fill her cups with wine, pregaming for later. Nesta laughs while grabbing my hand leading me into Feyre’s room. She has the biggest bathroom and closet for these occasions. We all start getting ready putting on our preferred style of makeup and clothing. Laughing loudly as we gossip about Beron’s hairline that keeps going further back as each year passes. We truly don’t know if it is but we all love roasting that horrible man. Once we are satisfied with our looks for the night we get ready to winnow to Veela, a club the IC doesn’t frequent too often. It’s newer and doesn’t have the huge crowd Rita’s does. It’s perfect, truly. We won’t run into anyone we know, not too crowded, but fun and rowdy. We pack the leftover mirthroot and tobacco from last month and winnow to the club saving us some time. We walk right in finding our usual table free in the corner. 
    “Let’s start with some shots ladies.” Nesta yells out heading to the bar, I’m a bit scared because Nesta’s choices in liquor are questionable at times. Feyre and I start people watching and laughing as we see the funny things the already drunk patrons are doing. I start rolling a blunt and a few j’s also a few cigarettes as I tend to want to smoke one after a good drink or two. Nesta comes back with the shots and our preferred mixed drinks in hand. We raise our glasses cheering for another successful Bat Wives Wine Night. 
    About an hour or so later we are tipsy, Nesta not so as she prefers to smoke mirthroot. Her struggles with drinking have lessened, she has a drink or two while she watches Feyre and I dance on tables. Nesta nursing a joint between her fingers swaying to the music she loved. Nesta says the plant helps her feel connected to it. Whatever, I don't care as long as we do what we want and feel safe doing it. I am a fan of both, I hop off the table and take the joint between my lips taking a long drag before exhaling into her mouth as we both giggle uncontrollably. Her red eyes meet mine, seeing Nesta relaxed and having fun is a privilege and I’m glad she feels safe enough to do so. We all love our mates but I think being with each other brings a new peace to our hearts. Sisters and friends, we are loved. For the first time in a long time we are loved. Her eyes widen, face slack as I laugh and turn I start coughing inhaling sharply as I see them. 
Our husbands. 
Our mates. 
Staring. 
    I gently pull Feyre off the table where she was dancing with two other fae, gently pushing her head to make her see what we see. Feyre chokes on her breath. 
“Shit…” Feyre mutters. Shit, indeed. 
*BOYS POV*
    Flying to the House of Wind, Azriel thought of his sweet mate. Years they’ve indulged their wives in their one night of secrecy. They deserved it, for being selfless and caring. Their mates have sacrificed a lot for them, for the Night Court. But they are busy bodies at heart, they can’t help but be curious. They love their wives, they just want to be included. Azriel lands on the balcony to see Cass and Rhys nursing a glass of whiskey. He walks in and pours himself a glass. 
    “Az, what do you think they do all night?” Cass says looking into his glass, pouting. Rhys looks unamused, Nesta probably told him off for being nosy. “Cass, they’re women. They drink their wine and dish about the new love interest in the books they read. Don’t think too hard you’ll hurt yourself.” Rhys chuckles as Cass throws a pillow at him. Rhys ducking slightly missing the pillow. 
    “I’m not but you know what I’m talking about. They smell like tequila and there’s traces of makeup and good perfume on them. Think about it, what do our mates truly get up to?” Cass says. Azriel sits and starts to think while Rhys and Cass get into it. Azriel the ever observant once couldn't have missed this right? He trusted his mate, knew she wouldn’t do anything stupid. Right? 
    Rhys stands after an hour or two of them not so obsessively tracking back to all the times they’ve had their Wine Nights. “Let’s go to the house now, we’ll say we forgot something. Catch them off guard.” He looks at the boys in confirmation. All their eyes light up in glee of possibly catching their mates doing something scandalous. But how they underestimate their wives is truly amusing. How they didn’t catch on after two years, even more so. 
    They set off for the River House when they landed there was silence. No giggling or tinking of wine glasses. Nothing. At first panic rushed in thinking someone hurt their mates but once they reached the master bedroom they saw clothes strung across the place, makeup and hair products messily sitting on the counter. The girls usual PJ’s on the floor. They went out.
     Cass scoffs, “I knew it! I KNEW THEY WENT OUT WITHOUT US! HA RHYS, I TOLD YOU!” he booms loudly, happy to be right and Rhys to be wrong. Azriel immediately makes a plan to find them, sending his shadows out. Once he gathered they were in the city they set their sights there. They went to Rita’s, not a trace. They searched restaurants and pleasure halls, Azriel questioning the staff there. They learned not only did they go out tonight but have frequented these places multiple times, without them. They were smart, Az gave them that. The girls used cash wherever they went instead of billing them, going as far as to use fake names and backstories when they would stop by the herb shop to purchase mirthroot and tobacco. Something they did not know their mates indulged in. For a second they questioned their mates, if they truly knew them. Now they for sure were set to find out answers. Azriel’s shadow reported to him they were across the city in a new club. 
    The music was pounding, drunk and high fae dancing or sitting and laughing. Azriel first spotted his High Lady and mate dancing on a table top, Feyre pouring tequila down his mate’s throat. Azriel couldn't lie, the sight made his pants tighten, seeing the hard liquor pouring down his wife’s very low top trickling onto her breasts. Watching her throat bob up and down, very similar sight to when she has him in her mout- “WHAT THE FUCK!” Rhys exclaims though it sounds more like a whisper compared to the very raunchy music booming in the background. Az notes that though Feyre lets loose at Rita’s and has fun, Feyre looks unhinged. As if she wasn’t the High Lady of Night but a 20 something year old who was having fun. Azriel laughed as he watched with his brothers, they stayed in the corner out of the way but still in eye sight of their girls. He watched his mate get off the table and steal the joint Nesta was nursing, blowing it in her mouth. Cass watches just as intently, in fascination and horniness. “I didn’t know they did THIS on their wine nights, I didn’t even know Nes smoked at all.” Cass says. He’s starting to wonder just how nice it would be to get Nesta this relaxed then fuck her for hours under smoke induced love making. Rhys is no better, watching Feyre swing her hips against the strangers around her. Wanting so badly to take her in the bathroom. But first it’s business. 
“Alright, brothers. They’ve had their fun now let’s crash.” Rhys said with a smirk. All together they marched towards their mates and stood waiting for them to realize. All had a mask of indifference though they really wanted to burst out laughing. One by one each girl’s head turned and paled.

6.3 Bucky
Pairing: Bucky Barnes x Fem!Reader
Summary: Lily McIntyre, trainer for new SHIELD recruits at the Avengers Tower, has been in love with her best friend, Bucky Barnes, from the moment she met him. She's been content with her role of the #1 girl in Bucky's life, even if it means she has to sabotage a romantic relationship or two. It'll be worth it when he realizes that they're meant for each other, right? There's just one small problem: Lily McIntire never expected Bucky Barnes to fall for You.
Warnings: (For this part only; see Story Masterlist for general Warnings) Language.
Word Count: 500
Previously On...: Lily tricked Bucky into going on a picnic date; they made plans for a "friend date" for later that evening.
A/N: Sorry this is late- I tried something new with the texts, but it took too long, so I don't know if I'll do it again, lol. Reminder: My break is starting today, so there will be no new updates until Thursday, May 23rd. I'm hoping to get a ton of writing done, but I won't leave you hanging for content, I promise!

Thank you to all those who have been reading; if you like what you've read, likes, comments, and reblogs give me life, and I truly appreciate them, and you!
He was really hoping his plans with Lily would take his mind off of his fuckup with Major. He must have thought about calling her about seventy five thousand times, but each time he picked up his phone to dial her number, he saw her shrug in his mind’s eye when he asked if he could call her later. Lily may have been wrong about the reasoning, but what if she had been right about the gist of it– If Major really wanted him to call her, wouldn’t she have said so? It was driving Bucky crazy.
So, he agreed to a night out with Lily as a distraction. After their impromptu picnic, he’d walked her back to her car and they’d set back off to the Compound, where Bucky napped and took a shower. He was just deciding what to wear to dinner in a few hours when a text came through on his phone. He almost did a double take when he saw it was from Major.
Sugar: Can we talk?
Bucky’s heart sped up at the sight of her words. She wanted to talk. This was good, right? 
Tumblr media
Bucky bit his lip. Lily would understand if he had to cancel, right? He’d explained to her how much he liked Major, how upset he was when he thought he’d blown it with her. She’d get why it was so important for him to meet with Major tonight. They could do a raincheck on their friend-date.
Okay, she was putting the ball in his court. Bucky wracked his brain, trying to come up with an idea that would be spontaneous, but also romantic, so he could show her that he was serious about her, about making this thing between them work. An idea struck him suddenly, and though it wasn’t very original of him, all things considered, it was perfect. Absolutely perfect. He was just going to need a few hours to get everything ready. Glancing at his phone, he realized he needed to get in gear; he didn’t have a lot of time, and there were things to do.
>> DROPPED A PIN
>> Meet me here at 7:30pm.
A few hours later, Bucky was doing his final set up preparations. He checked his phone– Major should be arriving any minute, and if he said he didn’t have butterflies in his stomach, he’d be lying. He nearly jumped out of his skin when his phone buzzed with an incoming text, but it was just from Lily.
Shit. In his haste to get everything prepared for Major, Bucky had completely forgotten he’d made dinner plans with Lily. Fuck, fuck, fuck.
Tumblr media
It was a long moment before the three dots appeared on his screen, indicating Lily was typing.
Tumblr media
Bucky smiled at his phone, not sure why he had been so nervous about telling Lily he was dating Major in the first place.

(first time requestingg om)
I just thought about tighnari with a s/o like Shinobu
Basically with her personality traits um maybe even height-
OMG, Hi! Hope you like it here<3 And I hope I did your first request justice <3
Pairing: Tighnari x reader
Content: gender neutral reader; reader looks and behaves like Shinobu Kocho from Demon Slayer
Word count: 500 words
Have fun!
Tumblr media
first of all, he absolutey goes crazy about you guys difference in height
he adores that you have to look up to him whenever you talk to him
he constantly teases you about it. In a loving way of course, but it does get on your nerves from time to time
Tighnari absolutely loves to just let his chin rest on top of your head when you're working on something. He can easily look at what you're doing and either give you some advice or just observe you and let you do your thing
also wholeheartedly adores it when he can bend down and just push his nose in the juncture of your neck and shoulder, staying right there to regain some much needed energy to get him through the day. Especially likes doing this when he has to deal with annoying Academiya students again
absolutely enamoured by your knowledge of medicine and poisons. He can tell how passionate you are about those subjects. He sees himself and his fascination for the forest in you, so he tries to support you in whatever study or experiment your are conducting right now
though he does still keep a watchful eye out for you, since working with poisons can get real dangerous real fast. But he has trust in you, and you and him both know that you know your limits
still, you're his partner. Can't blame him for looking out for you
the two of you actually have a lot of inside jokes with each other
loves your sarcastic and lowkey insulting way of talking to others, especially when neither of you likes the person
you were talking to him like this in the beginning as well. But rather than be insulted by it, he found it intriguing and pretty endearing, to be honest
it's what made him interested in you in the first place
nowadays, you don't talk to him like that at all anymore, except for the occaisonal, harmless banter between you guys
he adores that you always say what you think and feel without letting it boil inside you for too long. Honesty and communication is something he values highly, and he's glad that it comes so easily and naturally for the both of you
a personal headcanon of mine is that he would be in love with your handwriting
it's so elegant and neat, so pleasant to look at and the words are so easy to read
if possible, he would want for you to write a book or something, so he can always look at your perfect handwriting whenever he wants to
it took a while for you to figure this out, since Tighnari was hiding it well, thinking that you would think of him as some sort of creep or something along those lines
overall really adores everything about you. Tighnari would be smitten with his partner, no matter what they look or act like. He just loves YOU and everything that comes with you

INTERVIEW: "Ferrari, I won't stop believing in it. I see myself as world champion" (La Repubblica, 2022)
Tumblr media
source: alessandra retico, la repubblica published: june 15th, 2022 series: f1, 2022
excerpts:
Do you envy Verstappen at all? No and I don't think he envies anything about me either. We are two different drivers, I focus on myself to be the best version of myself, I will never be someone else. I am happy with my development and will continue to evolve.
You're very tidy on the track, are you also very tidy in your private life? No, I'm messy. I reserve order and discipline for motorsport.
In the film [Lightyear], there is a kiss between two women that has already created controversy: does it surprise you? For me, homosexuality is a completely normal thing, I have gay friends, I don't understand how today there are people who don't understand that love is for everyone. F1 must lend a hand to those who don't have such a powerful voice to express difficulties in everyday life.
They have given you many names: predestined, prince, which one do you recognize yourself in? They are all positive and make me very happy, but what I like most is what my father gave me, pins à roulettes when I started racing, I was 4-5 years old, I was all small and you could only see the big helmet.
Were you never afraid? No, never, even if looking back at the accidents I tell myself I was lucky.
What did you buy with your first paycheck? A 1969 Fiat 500, off-white, convertible. The side-by-side? I didn't have too much trouble driving it. Then I went to Indonesia in Bali with my best friends.
A pinhead with wheels underneath. The yellow helmet was so big and he was so small, that his father called him pins à roulettes: "It's the image that corresponds to me and I like best about myself." Even though Dad Hervé is no longer here, Charles Leclerc still goes fast and stings the heart with the same ardor as when he was a child. He has a Ferrari to do it. "I want to become world champion , I will believe in it until it is no longer mathematically possible." Six poles in 8 grands prix but only 2 successes, now he is 3rd behind the Red Bulls of Verstappen and Perez. Two retirements in the last 3 races (Barcelona and Baku) due to reliability problems, in the middle his very bitter Monte Carlo: from 1st to 4th due to a mix-up of strategies. His engine is in Maranello: in Montreal he will fit a new one, to be determined if he will need a fourth turbo which would cost him a penalty.
Still optimistic? I will never give up, this has always been my mentality. I want to win, the World Cup is long. We have to understand the problems we had, they were three tough blows. Not an easy moment, but this doesn't change my motivation.
Doesn't reliability worry you? No, but a lot of attention is needed, the customer teams also had problems. But I have faith in this team and once the problems have been resolved, the pace and performance are there. I believe in it. I may be crazy, but I also believed in the two previous seasons as soon as I put the visor down, even though I could aim for a 10th place at most. This year we're really there, we just need to focus on ourselves and solve the problems as soon as possible. It's an important championship, we have a great opportunity to do well. There is too much positivity when things go well and too much negativity when they go badly. We need to find a balance.
Did you sleep after Munich? I did it, even if it hurt. But already in Baku I reset and got back in very good shape. It will be the same here in Montreal too.
How do you recover from disappointment after delusion? I know well what it means and what it feels like when you win, it's one of the few things that give me such great happiness. It's this that drives me to train every morning. This year we should have had more successes than we have for the reasons we know, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time to get back to where we want to be.
Do you need more calm or a winning mentality? Everyone has their own way of arriving at things. For me, being calm and concentration are fundamental. And when there is an excess of emotions it is important to return to your own bubble without being disturbed.
Do you have anything special about qualifying? I don't know, you can make a difference on the flying lap, because every mistake you make costs you in the end. For now it's gone well, I understand the car enough. But I'm also happy with the race which was my weak point in 2019, I worked on it and I think I improved a lot.
Compared to your partner, Sainz, you seem to have more confidence with the car. I can't speak for Carlos, this year I prepared better than in the past. Lots of simulator and in the pre-season tests I tried things that perhaps didn't make sense but I didn't want to overlook anything and be as ready as possible for the first race, there I wanted to be where I am and give it my all. It paid off. These new cars are difficult to drive and the details of going fast have changed. All the drivers have made mistakes and it's up to me to make as few as possible. I take risks, like in Imola. Even when you can't see it. I think it's the right approach and for now I'm happy.
Do you envy Verstappen at all? No and I don't think he envies anything about me either. We are two different riders, I focus on myself to be the best version of myself, I will never be someone else. I am happy with my development and will continue to evolve.
How did you miss the plane to Montreal? I went home on Monday. The flight from Nice to Paris was delayed. So I missed the connection but then I arrived safe and on time.
You're very tidy on the track, are you also very tidy in your private life? No, I'm messy. I reserve order and discipline for motorsport.
What do you write in the notebooks you read during free practice?
Everything: my feelings on the car and the things I want to try on the track. I get lots of ideas so I write them down so I don't forget them. And I write them in pen so I'm sure I'll find them again, before I used an app on the tablet which often deleted it all.
You voiced a character in the Disney Pixar film, Lightyear: The True Story of Buzz . Do you feel like a superhero? No. I feel like a normal person, even if I do a sport, I don't call it work, very special which isn't for everyone. I'm just lucky.
In the film there is a kiss between two women that has already created controversy, does it surprise you? For me homosexuality is a completely normal thing, I have gay friends, I don't understand how today there are people who don't understand that love is for everyone. F1 must lend a hand to those who don't have such a powerful voice to express difficulties in everyday life.
What are you like in everyday life? I have a routine: diet, gym, rest. Discipline is the biggest change I've made. In a year like this I want to be at 110% for 22 races. Will we get to 24? I'll be even fitter.
They have given you many names: predestined, prince, which one do you recognize yourself in? They are all positive and make me very happy, but what I like most is what my father gave me, pins à roulettes when I started racing, I was 4-5 years old, I was all small and you could only see the big helmet.
You play the piano. If F1 were a musical genre, what would it be? A very strange mix between classical and rock and roll. I think it's an exercise in adaptation between aggressiveness in qualifying and gentleness in tire management in the race. Playing helps me, I did it as a child, my brother Arthur is very good, I I started again during the pandemic by taking back the piano that was from my mother.
Don't you sing? Sometimes in the shower. Out of tune? I don't know, I just wouldn't have the courage to do it in front of someone. Poor Seagull sung in Bahrain? A joke with some of the team. I prefer to invent on the piano, it's something I share with my girlfriend Charlotte who will become an architect in two months. Like me, she is very creative.
Is creativity also useful for being a pilot? You need speed, precision, concentration. And courage. Let's take Jedda: a very fast track, close walls. There you feel the risk you're taking but you have to go and not think about it, this is what I like about this sport. I know it's dangerous, but I like to play with limits.
Were you never afraid? No, never, even if looking back at the accidents I tell myself I was lucky.
What did you buy with your first paycheck? A 1969 Fiat 500, off-white, convertible. The side-by-side? I didn't have too much trouble driving it. Then I went to Indonesia in Bali with my best friends.
You love fashion, when will your first clothing line be launched? I would like to do it in the future, it is one of my passions, I believe that fashion is a means of expressing oneself without speaking. For now I am content with wearing things that I like. My mind is busy trying to win the Championship.
Have you already booked your summer holidays? In Sardinia with my friends on my Riva boat. Then in Ibiza with the family, but I remain focused: gym and equipment within reach.
Who will you cheer for at the World Cup in Qatar? Since there is no Monaco and Italy, France.
How do you see yourself at the end of the year? World champion and that's it.

why do i even like him? - ksw
summary: your brother's best friend is a real asshole but yet you still like him || warnings: sunwoo is a little mean and he makes reader cry || genre: fluff at the end, slight angst ig, somewhat enemies to lovers?, brothers best friend trope || word count: approximately 500
sunwoo was your older brother's best friend
and he was an asshole
and like, maybe it wouldn't suck as much if he wasn't always around
oh, and also if you didn't have a huge crush on him..
but honestly, you don't even know why you like him
because like i said...
he's an asshole
for example, he has a.. habit (if you want to even call it that) of pulling your hair
not like aggressively per se
but like.. here i'll paint the picture
you'll be walking through your house
and well, like i said, sunwoo is always around so he's there
he'd come up behind you while heading to the living room where your brother was waiting for him to play some video games
and he'd gently tug your hair before walking past you
you'd look over at him, giving him a dirty look
even tho on the inside the butterflies in your stomach were going crazy
another thing he does is he'll literally steal your food
like???
you're sitting there at lunch, enjoying your food that you spent your hard earned money on
suddenly, sunwoo and your brother enter the room
sunwoo goes over to you and takes a bite of the food without even asking
"thanks" was all he'd say before leaving
meanwhile you're left furious
honestly why did you even like him
he'd constantly tease you as well
he'd make fun of your heights, your voice, the way you dressed, your attitude, etc.
it was only because he found all of those things cute tho but you didn't nor anyone else needed to know that
one day though, he'd went a little too far with his teasing
you ended up crying
he immediately felt bad when he saw you crying
but of course, he had to act like it didn't affect him...
you went to your room and continued to cry
after some time, there was a knock at your door
you hesitantly went to your door, expecting it to be your brother
but instead you were met with sunwoo
you were about to shut the door in his face but he stopped it, holding his hand out immediately and keeping it open
"i went too far.. i'm sorry." he'd apologize
"yeah, you did." you'd glare at him
there were a few moments of silence
"i never wanted to make you cry." sunwoo would tell you
you'd look up at him, but honestly, what could you say to that?
he wouldn't say anything as he just sighed and pulled you in for a hug
you'd be a little tense at first before finally just giving in
it was quite comforting you must admit
after a little bit, you'd pull away
all of the sudden, completely unexpectedly... he'd lean in and kiss you
you didn't kiss him back right away since you were shocked
but once you realized what was going on, you couldn't help but melt into the kiss
eventually, you'd pull away
"you're an asshole, you know that?" you'd ask
"yeah, i know.." was all he'd respond with

Prostitute chay????
Send me an ask and I;ll tell you about one of my WIPs
Okay, this AU is an absolute trip. The TKs are just filthy rich, not mafia; Kinn has recently taken over his father's business ventures, Khun is an eccentric fashion designer, and Kim is still Wik.
The story starts with Khun throwing an ostentatious birthday party, and he's hired a number of escorts to entertain the guests. Kim hits it off with Chay, but ultimately knows that Chay doesn't actually want him, so nothing happens; Chay is intrigued. Especially when Kim pays him for his time anyway, even though all they did was talk.
Chay isn't a Wik fan in this. But after that night he goes home and looks Kim up, enjoys his music, and decides to pursue him. Kim likes his company and respects his work, but doesn't want to pay anyone to pretend to be interested in him. He doesn't need or want the attention. Chay is crazy for him playing hard to get.
Eventually they do get together, then Chay finds out kim has been a virgin the whole time! And he is very happy to make sure Kim is thoroughly deflowered.
Here is your 500 words! Smut under the cut <3
Chay pushed through the door then pushed Kim back against it, greeting him with a filthy kiss. It was still new, getting to kiss him like this. They’ve only been together for a handful of days, and while Chay spent most of that first night kissing every inch of Kim he could reach, it wasn’t enough. It would never be enough. Especially when Kim met him with a needy gasp every time, throwing himself into it, inexperienced but so eager to learn the things that would get him those same noises from Chay.  “Want to suck me off?” Chay asked, pulling away just enough to get the words out, speaking them into Kim’s soft lips. He smiled at the confused sound Kim made.  “Right—right now?”  “Yeah.” Chay nuzzled his way to Kim’s jaw and kissed the sharp line of it, then continued to Kim’s ear. Thumbing at his bottom lip, Chay said, “I want to fuck your mouth, P’Kim. Can I? Like we talked about?”  Kim pushed at Chay’s chest, a silent request for space. Chay watched him lean back into the door and slide down until his knees hit the ground. He was beautiful there, kneeling at Chay’s feet, looking up at him through his long, long lashes. Chay cupped his cheek and told him as much.  “So pretty for me, P’Kim. Am I the first one that gets to see you like this, too?”  Kim didn’t answer, and he didn’t blush. He wasn’t ashamed of his lack of experience. He did look away, though, biting his lip, and Chay grinned at him. It was okay; he had enough experience for both of them.  “I’ll teach you how to do it,” Chay promised. He gestured for Kim to offer up his hands, then led them to the front of his jeans. “You can go slow, P’Kim. Take your time.”  Kim did not go slow. He took a deep breath, looked up at Chay like he was searching for something—reassurance, encouragement—then opened Chay’s pants and pulled them halfway down his thighs with a quick, decisive jerk. Chay was already half hard just from watching.   Kim hesitated there, though, so Chay prompted, “You know how to touch me, P’Kim. Same as you touch yourself.”  It wasn’t exactly the same, of course. The angle was all wrong, and it was hard to tell if you were squeezing too tight or not tight enough when the pleasure—or lack there of—wasn’t zinging straight up to your brain. It took Chay a long time to learn how to give a good handjob, especially when every client was different. At least Kim only had to worry about Chay; he could learn what Chay liked, build on the knowledge every time, until he was perfect.  Kim wrapped his hand around Chay’s cock. Lightly at first, getting a feel for it, the differences between them. Then he firmed up his grip and dragged his hand up, pumping Chay from root to tip. Then again, gaining confidence when Chay canted his hips forward just a bit. It only took a handful of strokes before Chay swelled to full hardness, straining in Kim’s hand.

mordred core dare i say
So I was going to write up a fake AITA post in response to this, but instead I just got really into the idea of mordred arguing with people in the comments of it (examples shown below):
---
"Have I been an "asshole" for belittling my peer over her religious beliefs?" discussion
Flyguyy posted: YTA. Even if you think they're stupid, it's never okay to make fun of someone for their religion.
Dawinniwad replied: NTA. It's always okay to make fun of someone for their religion, especially if you think it's stupid.
destineystreamer replied: ATY. It's always okay to think someone is stupid, especially if you're making fun of their religion.
polarbear378 replied: YAN. It's never okay to think someone is religion, even if you're making fun of their stupid.
XXXDemonLordXXX (OP) replied: I wrote this with the intent of generating a serious discussion. Either take my question seriously or don't bother commenting.
---
NormieGuy posted: ESH. You shouldn't have made fun of her, but getting called a "demon-worshipping heathen" is kind of crazy and deserves a comeback imo.
XXXDemonLordXXX (OP) replied: I made fun of her because she said my desires are foolish, not because of that. Do not spread misinformation on this post.
NormieGALhastagfeminism replied: INFO. What were your desires? You didn't mention those in the post?
XXXDemonLordXXX (OP) replied: It's to become a demon and cannibalize this wretched earth. (-200 karma, 27 comments)
--
Formaldehype posted: Isn't this the kid who got banned from r/askDocs for cutting out and posting an uncensored pic of his eye?
nick555 replied: He what
XXXDemonLordXXX (OP) replied: This isn't relevant to my question.
---
jellyRoll posted: Hey this guy's entire post history is him arguing in the demonology forums and rping as though he's going through a demonic possession, maybe we shouldn't enable him here in the comments? He's clearly got some problems
DemonExpertSwag replied: Demons can't even possess people. This kid's mom needs to come and get him off the internet lol
XXXDemonLordXXX (OP) replied: Demons can absolutely possess people, and if you mention my mother one more time I'll report you to the moderators, swine. How you claim to be an "expert" when your comment history indicates you can't even tell a demonic coil from a spring is a sign that the whole demonic community is going to the dogs.
---
Mrs-Baggins posted: INFO. OP, who is your acquaintance that's "of an unknown age and male" who told you that you may have hurt her feelings? Are they a family friend of yours? Maybe it would be better to talk to an adult about this than post about it to a random internet forum.
XXXDemonLordXXX (OP) replied: I apologize for the confusion on this matter. He's a cowardly demon who lives inside of my right eyeball. As he does not know how old he is, and ages are a customary addition on reddit, I thought it best to indicate such rather than leaving it out or guessing.
Mrs-Baggins replied: What?
XXXDemonLordXXX (OP) replied: As I just said, he's a cowardly demon who lives inside my right eyeball. Is anyone here capable of understanding basic English, or must I dumb it down more for you peons? (-700 karma, 500 comments)

Can I get a yandere Silver or Sebek during the dance? (Or any of the other prompts if you have more inspiration for those)
Congrats of 500 followers! Very much deserved.
It was hard to choose between them. I had started thinking I'd write for Silver but somehow Sebek stole the fic! I nearly wrote a whole parent trap scenario where both try to set you up with Lilia but thought that was getting a bit too crazy. Here you go, hope you like it!
Tumblr media
If Sebek could write you a sonnet, he’d whisper it sweetly in your ear once for every breath you took.  Sadly, as he watched you dance with another, he knew he was not yet worthy of such attention.  Not from you.  Until that time came, he’d merely observe you and your perfection from a reasonable distance.  Or at least, that was the plan until he saw the rude behavior of the rest of the hooligans you’d chosen to interact with at this so-called dance.
You were laughing at Ace’s prank, even though it wasn’t that funny.  What a night, you didn’t recall when you’d last had so much fun without something terrible happening shortly thereafter.  Perhaps that should have warned you, but you were unprepared when Ace was suddenly jerked off his feet and pulled away from you.  “Waaa,” Ace shouted as you stepped back quickly in surprise.  From behind the struggling first year, you found a gruff Sebek holding Ace by the collar. 
“Sebek!” you shout in surprise, “What are you doing?”  He moves his disapproving gaze off Ace and gives you a guilty look, “I’m only trying to protect you!  I saw what this ruffian was doing!”  Ace give another squirm in Sebek’s grip but the knight in training proves to be far stronger than he, “It was just a joke man, lighten up.”  You look pleadingly at Sebek, “Yeah, it was just some ice.  I know it wasn’t really funny but getting ice on the back of your neck is just a dumb prank, it doesn’t warrant all this.”  Sebek continues to look at you, eyes wavering, as though greatly upset at your dismissal of the injustice.  Finally, he sighs and sets Ace back on the ground, “If that is what you wish, I can hardly go against your desires.”  Then he turns to Ace and scolds him sternly, “LISTEN HERE!  I don’t want to tell you what will happen if you continue to cause difficulties for the Prefect!”
Ace gives you a look that says, ‘Sorry but this is too much for me,’ and leaves with a shrug.  You smile in resignation as you watch your friend depart, now left alone with the imposing Sebek.  You turn your awkward smile to the tall fae and ask, “So, how are you finding the dance?”  A smug expression forms on his face, “It’s a rare opportunity, so I’m enjoying it to my fullest.”  You look at him surprised, “Really?  I didn’t picture you as someone who enjoyed dancing that much.”  He scoffs in response, “Dancing? Harumph!  I mean observation.  I’m honing my skills and taking in meaningful sights at the same time.  THIS IS THE BARE MINIMUM FOR A KNIGHT TRAINED UNDER THE GREAT LILIA!” 
“You dancing or just shouting,” Jack asks as he appears at your side.  You don’t know when he joined you, but you are grateful for his arrival.  “Dancing, hopefully,” you answer your friend, “Ah, but Sebek said he isn’t dancing tonight.”  Jack puts a lopsided grin on and holds out an arm, “Well then, I guess that’s my cue.”  You sigh in relief at the easy opportunity and link elbows with the beastman.  “Sure thing.  See you next time Sebek.”  When you go to move away, you feel a hand tug on your garment.  Sebek is holding it firmly as his mouth works silently, producing no sound.  He looks as though this turn of events has taken him by complete surprise and he has no idea how to deal with it. 
Jack frowns sternly, “Let go.  You have no right to stop the Prefect from dancing with me.”  At this comment, Sebek finds his voice, “No right?  I HAVE NO RIGHT?  YOU HAVE NO RIGHT!”  Perhaps he would have kept going if Lilia had not chosen this moment to appear at his side and lay a hand on his arm.  “There, there now.  Let’s keep it friendly,” then he squeezes Sebek’s arm as a small warning, “This is meant to be a goodwill dance, after all.”  Sebek looks at his mentor in dismay before setting his mouth in a resigned grimace and releasing you.  You feel slightly guilty at how relieved you are to be pulled away by Jack but the eager intensity of Sebek sometimes makes you feel slightly on edge.
Your dance with Jack is uneventful and he leads you to the opposite side of the dance floor from where you were prior.  Here you dance an enthusiastic quick step with Floyd before he returns you to his clubmate Ace.  Ace bashfully rubs the back of his head as he hands you a drink, “Hey, if I made you uncomfortable earlier, I’m sorry.  I was just joking around.”  You give him a small swat on the arm, “Maybe it was a bit much, but I know you were just trying to have fun.”  You marvel to yourself at how quickly the rambunctious boy had come to apologize and know you that you have, in some way, Sebek to thank for that.  Although he often goes over the top, his earnestness and upright behavior occasional inspire even the troublemakers of NRC.  For that reason, you found yourself mentally forgiving the gruff fae for his questionable behavior once again.
You tip your drink back, letting the last trails of liquid slide down your throat.  Ace nods at your empty drink, “Want another glass?”  You shake your head, “Nah, one was enough for me.”  He nods in agreement before excusing himself to check in on Deuce and Grim, who are having some manner of argument near the dessert table.  You lean against the wall, cradling your empty glass in your hand and smile at the chaos that you, for once, needn’t be a part of.  It was a nice feeling to not be responsible for everything Grim gets into.
“Hey,” says a voice to your side.  You turn your head and find a student from Royal Sword holding out a glass of punch to you.  Although you did know a few students at RSA, this one was unknown to you.  You hold up your empty glass, “No thanks, I’m good.  I just had some.”  The student frowns, “Geeze, that’s rude.  I’m just trying to be nice.”  Your eyes open in surprise at the unexpected response.  For a moment, you just stare at him, speechless.  Then he grabs your hand and tries to forcibly take the empty glass from it.  You tighten your grip, not wanting to accept a drink from someone you don’t know.  This only causes him to tug harder and, when you feel your hold slipping, both glasses end up crashing to the floor and shattering.
The noise attracts the attention of what feels like everyone in the ballroom.  Your instinct is to apologize but that is the wrong move.  As soon as the words, ‘I’m sorry’ leave your lips, the RSA student scowls at you and declares, “What’s wrong with you!  See, this is why you should have just taken the drink!”  You stammer, unable to decide what to do when, for the second time in the evening, your conversation partner is hauled off his feet by the collar. 
“WHAT’S WRONG WITH THEM?  WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU!” Sebek shouts at the RSA student who seems to become visibly less confident as he dangles in the air.  “Sebek! Stop!” you shout as you grab his arm, begging with your eyes for him to not make this situation any bigger.  You wanted the student to leave you alone, but this was going too far.  “You made your point.  Let’s just move on.”  Sebek sighs and sets the trembling student down with a scowl.  As soon as his feet touch the floor, the student throws you a look that is a mixture of embarrassment, disgust, and anger before he runs off. 
“Pathetic,” Sebek mumbles while subtly studying you, as though making sure you are ok.  You don’t meet his eye, searching for an excuse to avoid this sudden scrutiny.  “Ah, I better get this broken glass cleaned up,” you mumble.  Sebek grabs your elbow to prevent you from stooping over, “Bah, you’ll only get in the way.”  Then, he grimaces and kneels to start sweeping the broken glass into a pile with his hands.  “Oh!” you exclaim, “Don’t do that!  You’ll get cut.”  He gives a sudden intake of breath and pulls a hand to his chest, hiding it from your view.  “You did get hurt!  Let me see!” you scold him as you try to pry his hand open to observe.  He finally relents and you discover several small cuts from the broken glass.  “This is nothing.  I can easily handle this level of pain.  If it protects you from getting hurt, it’s a small price to pay.” 
“This is not ok!” you tell him sternly, keeping a gently hold on his injured hands, “We’ve got to get you to the nurse’s office to patch this up!”  You pull him carefully, urging him to follow you.  With a shy bashful smile, he does.  It was not often that you found your interactions with Sebek so easy, so you felt thankful he was in such a cooperative mood.  You chalk up his newfound mellow behavior as just another string of strange occurrences that happened this night.  Although it was a strange dance, you decide it wasn’t all bad.  You’d had some free food, enjoyed some jokes with your friends and even gotten to see Sebek pick some jerk off the floor by his collar and, if that wasn’t entertainment, you didn’t know what was.  You smile and hum absent mindedly as you walk hand in hand with Sebek to the nurse’s office, ending your eventful evening.
Sebek doesn’t speak again, choosing to bask quietly in your simple joy.  Your humming was like a soothing melody to his soul, proving all his efforts had been rewarded.  Yes, he’d had to purposely injure himself on that broken glass but now he was able to walk by your side.  He’d suffered a trial and finally earned a small amount of your attention for himself.  He cradled his wounded hand like a trophy, proof that today he was worthy.

Season 3 Rewatch Drabbles: 3x10 The New Neverland
Tumblr media
(gif by just-be-magnificent.tumblr.com)
Summary:  A series of 100-500 word drabbles to accompany my    rewatch of season 3 of Once Upon a Time.  There will be a drabble–either a deleted scene, a “fix it” fic or a character musing for each episode of the season.  Focus will be on Emma, Henry, the Charmings and Killian–with an emphasis on Captain Swan’s epic love story.
Word Count: 736
Other Chapters: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) (21) (22) (23) (24) (25) (26) (27) (28)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Killian sat brooding on his bar stool at Granny’s diner nursing a mug of beer.  As he watched Emma converse with her lad, his heart sank.  He loved her, wanted her more than he’d wanted any woman in centuries.  He wanted to be with her, be the man she came home to at the end of the evening, the man she confided in, loved, gazed at adoringly, the man she allowed in her life and in her bed.
But more than anything, he wanted to see her happy.  They understood each other, that was true enough.  Though the circumstances couldn’t have been more different, their lives were similar in a heartbreaking way.  Like him, she’d seen too much pain, too much hurt, too much fighting just to survive.  He deserved the fate he had, but she didn’t.  She deserved everything, every happiness life had to offer.
Even if it wasn’t with him.
He’d had hopes when they were in Neverland that he could be a part of that happy future with her–especially after the earth-shattering kiss they’d shared.  He’d been quite serious about pursuing her, courting her, winning her heart honestly and with no trickery.
But it had all been a beautiful but unattainable dream–as odd as it was to have one of those on a land seemingly built on nightmares.
He’d seen that clearly as soon as the Roger had touched down upon the waters of Storybrooke and his passengers had disembarked.  He hadn’t expected a ceremony in his honor, effusive speeches of gratitude.  He hadn’t even really expected thanks, but he had hoped for…something.  Some acknowledgement, some camaraderie, some, any, sense of belonging in the group of triumphant heroes.
For a split second, he thought he’d get it.  The lady Snow had spoken of someone they needed to give credit, someone they needed to thank, and his heart had lept, thinking it was he of whom she spoke.
But he should have known better.  It was Regina who was the focus of her gratitude.
No, Killian could see it clearly at that moment.  Pan had been right.  He was, and would ever be in their eyes, nothing but a pirate, a villain, someone with whom they could make temporary alliances when the situation called for it, but someone to never truly trust or allow within their inner circle.
He couldn’t blame them, truly.  He’d spent centuries committing the vilest of acts in pursuit of his revenge.  There was far too much in his ledger that he could never wipe out.  Swan deserved someone worthy of her.  Henry deserved a better father figure.
Whether or not Neal fit the bill, he didn’t know.  Swan hadn’t given him details of how Baelfire had hurt her, but it was clear he had, deeply so.  Perhaps the wound would prove to be too deep to overcome, but Killian had to give the lad the opportunity to try.  He owed him that much at least.  He would not be the cause of another family breaking apart.
Maybe a miracle would happen.  Maybe in the end, Swan would choose him, but in the meantime, Killian knew what he had to do.  He had to back off for the sake of the boy–both the boy Baelfire had once been, the one Killian had betrayed, and Swan’s own lad.
Aye, perhaps a miracle would happen, but Killian didn’t trust to hope.  He’d long since lost the right to wish for miracles.
Note:  Grrr!  If there’s one thing (other than Neal just being…well…NEAL) that makes me crazy about 3x10, it’s the fact that the heroes just seem to dismiss Killian.  Look at what he did for them: He went back to Neverland, the place he’d spent centuries of the worst years of his life.  He chose to bury the hatchet and work with his sworn enemy.  He’d offered his ship and his services for as long as they needed them, and in exchange?  In exchange they took it all for granted, not even thanking him, barely even acknowledging his presence.  They’ll give Regina credit for the role she played in saving Henry, but they won’t even acknowledge the far greater role Killian played, and it just makes me both sad and angry for him.  Thus this fic.  We know Killian suffers from a good deal of self-loathing.  This is what I assume led to his decision to back off when it comes to Emma.

greatest love story.
Tumblr media
Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw x F!Reader
Another fluffy fic based on a country song. Greatest Love Story by Lanco
A/n: thank you thank you thank you for 500 followers 🥹 I’ve got a couple requests in my inbox I’m working towards, but I hope y’all like this fluffy piece.
Back in high school, nothing could keep the two of you apart. Rooster was the troublemaker, and you were the goody two shoes. You were the epitome of opposites attract. No one understood how he managed to keep you around. That never stopped you from slipping out your bedroom window and into his Bronco. Rooster drove the two of you down to the river, and you’d let him go a little farther than y’all should’ve.
He promised you forever. He promised you a ring. Neither of you knew any better. But, damn, it sounded good. Rooster was what you wanted, and he always said you were what he needed. Y’all were gonna be the greatest love story.
You were off to college a few months later, and he joined the military. Rooster spent his days dreaming about finishing Basic and coming back to take you into his arms. He spent the days training and the nights out with the boys, throwing back the drinks. Back at the barracks, he’d drunkenly scribble out confessions of love that he’d never mail. Turns out, some college boy was able to scoop you up.
You promised him forever. You promised you’d wear his ring. You didn’t know better. It sounded good, but the long distance was too much to bear. Even though Rooster was what you wanted, and you were what he needed, the timing wasn’t right. Y’all were gonna greatest love story.
Four years later, you ditched that old college boyfriend and Rooster couldn’t stay tied down. Smacking right into his solid chest at the Hard Deck was so out of left field. It felt like fate.
“Hi, honey,” he said, his mustached-smirk making your knees weak.
The two of you changed over those four years. The military harded him, mentally and physically. Rooster couldn’t believe it, but you got insanely more beautiful. One thing remained, the feelings the two of you still held for one another.
After weeks of dating, Rooster found himself in a jewelry store. It felt crazy, proposing after weeks, but he’s known since high school you were it for him. Maverick helped him pick out the ring, and made sure Penny kept you busy. The next night, Rooster talked you into driving down to the river.
There, Rooster fell down to one knee. He asked you for forever. Asked you to be his wife. He knows better now, so do you. He’s what you want, and you’re what he needs. Turns out, the two of you will be the greatest love story Fightertown has ever seen.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
not a single breath was wasted as soon as he heard about another way to make a wish if you're unlucky enough to wish upon the actual shooting star. he immediately went towards your place, unannounced, and started to make paper cranes.
10… for you, just for you.
he was bad at making origami. but he still tries to make it despite his hatred at unperfect lines he flatten on each side just to make a product out of paper. he endures every mistake and imperfections of his work.
50…for you, just for you.
he is willing to rewatch the tutorial on how to make paper cranes even though he's so sick of hearing the annoying voice over. and he doesn't even care anymore about all of the papers getting wasted around him. the papers on his notebook are getting thinner as each minute passes just by trying to make a perfect origami.
100…for you, just for you.
since then, he has spent day and night working. it seems like he forgot how to normally function as his mind only occupied making origami. he accepted this decision with passion, even though his hands were numb and tired.
200… for you, just for you.
as his hair swept on his bangs, he left no choice but to tie it up so that it would not bother his vision, for he's always looking down at the table. no wonder it feels like he couldn't feel his neck anymore because of the numbness and soreness he experienced. he compared the pain of looking down for too long on the rope he used to hang on his neck. there was no doubt the first option hurts more.
300… for you, just for you.
a tear slips on his eyes, you haven't been talking to him for too long. he misses the way your eyes would intertwine with his. the warmth of your small hands on him, feeling the total eccentric emotion as he dives in your galaxy. he would always get himself drunk and lost in your touch. but, anyway, he is getting good at origami.
400… for you, just for you.
it's been months. he now considers himself as professional at making origami, paper cranes to be specific. he can finally make it while both of his eyes are closed. there's also a spark on his hopeful chest when he realizes he's halfway through. those sleepless nights are totally worth it because he's able to look at your peaceful sleeping face while working on origami.
500… for you, just for you.
one day, a friend came to visit you. they were shocked to see more than dozens of paper cranes on the floor. but he doesn't care nor entertain them as he was keeping his attention on his now full time work. he's now halfway through and that gives him a beyond motivation. he could even fold a paper cranes under a minute, and he knew he was improving a lot.
600… for you, just for you.
there was a day where he would just lay down beside you and stare at your sleeping face. his lips would cackle on how adorable you were. he also never fails to mention all of his hardships on making origami. despite that, he took up this hobby like his life depended on it. he literally spends all of his time and money on crafting and buying papers for this.
700… for you, just for you.
he was almost near the end. the paper cranes double up on each weave on his hands. your room is filled with hundreds of paper cranes, each color evident on the ground. he looked at you as you breathed peacefully in your sleep. a smile broke on his lips as he reached out for your hand. whispers his love and declaration towards you, non-stop.
800… for you, just for you.
craft, eat, sleep, wake up, and repeat. these are his routine for the last months and he is consistent with his new schedule. if that would only make him see you shine once again, it will be all worth it. if that would only make you get out of the bed, it will be all worth it. he just loves you so much that it changed him, and he's not complaining about that.
900…for you, just for you.
how did you two end up here? why is he making such a big number of paper cranes? why is he so obsessed with making his wish be heard?
it all started when you almost lost your life in a tragic accident, an attempt suicide. you are saved, but got stuck in a coma. dazai was beyond devastated when the doctors stated that there's a low chance of surviving—but he's in denial. he is still hoping that those beautiful orbs of yours would eventually be seen by him once more.
money isn't a problem to him. he literally threatens the doctors just for you to have a stable supply of life support to help you live. he pours his power to make your life be comfortable, even if you're technically sleeping. so that when you wake up, you won't feel any eerie sensation.
one day, while he's out to get something to eat, there was a stranger telling a story to some stray children in the street. while waiting for the pedestrian light to signal a green light, he couldn't help but to eavesdrop at the story.
it was the story of a girl and thousands of paper cranes.
the girl was diagnosed with a disease. her father told her that if she made thousands of paper cranes, her wish would come true. so, she crafted thousands of paper cranes, hoping that her disease would go away.
after hearing the story, there was a spark in his chest. he admits, it sounds so childish and ridiculous. but he's in love and literally willing to do anything just to keep you alive. that is why he came to your place, unannounced. and he also started to learn how to make paper cranes until he finally reached the end.
999…for you, just for you.
look at him now, he was on the last paper crane. dazai couldn't help but to shed a tear, because after three months, he was able to craft the said number of origami. all of the bloodshed fatigue and sleepless night, with his hands working nonstop, he is near.
"y/n, my darling…" he grabs your thin and pale hand just for him to offer it a soft kiss on the back of your hand.
he stared at your emotionless sleeping face. even though half of your face is covered with a breathing mask, you are still beautiful. he treasures every beauty and flaws of yours. no matter how much you hate the insecurities launched in your body, he loves every single one of it as much as you despise it.
dazai continues to talk to you about his day just like he always does while folding the paper that will serve as his last resort for his wish.
fold and fold…and another fold, until the truth will finally be told.
the male collects all of the paper cranes in your bed, covering your whole unresponsive body with papers. it was so much that some of the cranes fell on the bed. finally, he placed the last crane that completed the mission.
"1000…for you, just for you." he mumbles.
dazai never believed in god, but he prays. now that he completed the thousand paper cranes, he reached out for all of the gods who might hear him please. a miracle should arrive at any moment, all he has to do is to place some faith in you and him.
on the first day, nothing happened to his dismay. but he remained patient. he prayed even harder on the following day but still no outcome. dazai unlocked another routine, praying for a miracle. everyday he would pray for you even if he is an atheist and doesn't believe in the concept of religion.
yet, he still prays, prays, and prayed…until he reached the same length of months while he was crafting the paper cranes. the patience of waiting for you has molded him into another persona, just like a lost man trekking into the unknown.
still no avail, you are not waking up—but he's in denial that he's starting to lose hope on this madness. he is mad, but not at you, he is mad over nothing. dazai was searching for someone to blame on his unsuccessful attempt of waking you up and bringing you back into his arms.
a year had passed, dazai grew thin in malnourishment, but not frail as you. he was walking solemnly towards your room with a balloon in his hand. there's also a piece of paper—paper crane to be specific. before the paper was crafted, it was filled with messy handwriting, a message that only contained three words and eight letters.
"i love you…"
those same three words and eight letters that he failed to declare to you when you're still awake, or should i say, alive. anyway, he rubbed his tired eyes that are now being homed with dark circles under his eyes.
supposedly, he meant to hide the fatigue that's evident on his face. but he realized, he shouldn't cover himself when it comes to you. no secrets and insincere should be tolerated in your vicinity. so, he visits you with his usual self, for today is important.
that's right, today is the day where you are born into this cruel world, your birthday. the same day you got admitted into this damned place, the hospital. and the same day you will be finally set free, forever.
after years of pain, suffering, melancholy, reminiscing, and thinking, dazai finally learned to let you go.
"happy birthday, belladonna." dazai tied the balloon on your wrist. he knew you really liked having a balloon tied on your wrist. you loved the way it sways along the wind.
"i miss you, i hope you are aware." dazai paused with a chuckle. "and i also hope you are aware that you have already missed three years of your life. everything comes so fast, doesn't it?" he continues as he lets his hand intertwine with yours.
"did you like the balloon? i specifically picked the color you like. i also made you a letter—a bunch of them, by the way. i just wished you would wake up and read every single one of them."
dazai let out a sigh, leaning his back on the chair beside you. his eyes trailed on the balloon floating in the air. "i always wonder if you could hear me grumble over some random things. if you do, you would probably laugh at my silliness. of course! i just made a thousand counts of paper cranes."
"on the contrary, i learned so many things that not once in my life, would do it for someone. i learned how to be patient, believe in a story i overheard while walking, pray to the gods that i don't even believe, and craft a paper crane. and most importantly, i learned how to love and do everything for them."
are you hurt? are you in pain? are you lost?
these hidden words are lingering in his fragile mind. dazai wants to mend your wounds. dazai wants to take your pain. dazai wants to make you to be each other's solace. oh, how delusional he is.
sadly, all of the sudden, his plan for both of you fell like a house of card when the clock strikes at six in the evening. the designated icu doctor for you suddenly approaches him without a noticed.
dazai tried not to get distracted by the look in his face, pained and agonized. he flashes a cheerful demure to take his negativities away—yet he failed to do so.
"the doctors told me yesterday…" dazai bites his lips to stop it from trembling. his grip on your unresponsive hand tightens, like he doesn't want to lose you.
"they told me that you are brain dead."
your body system collapses out of nowhere. the doctors were notified about your condition and were extremely hesitant to tell him, but it was no good to keep you in this hell place for any longer. all they had to do was to accept, and all dazai had to do is to also accept.
swallow the hard truth that you will no longer see the world just like how he sees it. digest the hard truth that you are officially gone and will not come back anymore.
in short, you are dead.
"i should've read the signs, you are tired. i'm so sorry, darling. i became so selfish that i let you continue without your consent. i let you suffer for my own desires just because i want you to be with me forever." a tear, followed by another, until he finally broke down right in front of you.
if you're probably still here, dazai knew you would wipe his tears and embrace him like he deserves the whole world. the image of you whispering sweet nothing in his ears is enough to make him feel weak. he literally loves the delusion of it.
"i love you so damn much that i gotta let you go because i have hurt a lot. i am getting an image of yourself saying "is it worth it?" but i am dumb and stupid because i kept on saying "yes". i'm so sorry!" his wails became louder and louder any second was passing. it was like all of his pent up emotions over the last three years had finally come to burst.
he lost his final resort because the next thing he knew, he was standing on the same street where he had heard about the story of the girl and thousands of paper cranes.
dazai was frantic and a mess, his mind was kept in shut. he does not remember a single thing of what happened after his big mental breakdown. but he was sure, a doctor came inside the room and he took him out.
a faint voice reached his ears during that moment. "i'm so sorry, mr. dazai. but just like we have talked to, let's put ms. y/n to rest." the doctor said and dazai was too lost to respond and digest the things he's said.
at that moment, he was somehow aware that they finally shut the machine down that only keeps you from being technically alive. his cold and empty eyes trailed on the balloon in your wrist and then to the clock above your head.
time of death, 11:59 PM…
today is your birthday.
today is your accident anniversary.
today is your deathday.
dazai was staring into the void of darkness as the midnight stars failed to appear in the doom sky. right on his spot, he declares that this place no longer feels like home.
"my y/n, my darling, my belladonna. i seem to have done everything, but why does this still happen?"
little did he know, he failed to hear the ending. the young girl still died even if she crafted thousands of paper cranes and prayed for the gods to let her survive.
he did the same process as the girl from the story and got the same ending—he finished making thousands of paper cranes, yet, you still died.

When you look up the definition of greedy in the dictionary, there's a picture of this man
Tumblr media
Aaack! That's terrifying.
Okay, I've been meaning to write this post for eons but it seems especially important now given all the crap that's going down at HYBE. We need to talk about BSH and his obscene wealth.
This April, Forbes published the list of South Korea's 50 richest people. Coming in at number 17 was the hitman himself, Bang Si-Hyuk, estimated to be worth 2.1 BILLION US DOLLARS. I believe that figure has likely gone down a bit thanks to HYBE's falling stock price, but that's still an absolutely crazy number.
Now let's talk about Scooter Braun. According to Wikipedia, he is estimated to be worth approximately $1 billion, however, most other outlets list him at being worth about $500 million. Either way, he's not buying generic cereal when he goes grocery shopping.
Bang PD paid approximately $1 billion dollars to Scooter when he acquired Ithaca Holdings in April, 2021. Scooter was given over $100 million in HYBE stock as well as an undisclosed cash payment.
Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande were each given $12 million worth of stock, while J Balvin received $4.8 million and Demi Lovato received $1.2 million. I would describe these "gifts" as glorified bribes to prevent each of them from bolting the minute the buyout was announced.
Now compare that to what the members of BTS received. For all their blood, sweat, and tears, starvation diets, no time off, worked to exhaustion, they each received 68,385 shares prior to the IPO, which were initially valued at $8 million per person. It's important to note Bang Si-Hyuk maintained their voting rights and votes on their behalf. So, they have shares, but no voting rights, i.e. no say in the direction of the company at the board of directors level.
It's worth noting that JB, AG, JB, and DL did absolutely nothing to earn those shares. They contributed nothing to the success of Big Hit and the eventual creation of HYBE Corporation. It's also worth noting that all four of them are no longer Scooter's clients.
HYBE America was the worst performing subsidiary under HYBE Corp in 2023, posting a loss of about $100 million (I'll dig up the financials for a future post). I think we all know where that went, but we can talk about that later. However poorly SB's business line performed, he will still continue to make profits off of his legacy clients thanks to sunset clauses in their original contracts. You can read about that here:
Scooter Braun sits on HYBE's Board of Directors. He is also 5th largest shareholder, with 0.8698% ownership. The members of BTS each have 0.1642% ownership (assuming they haven't sold their initial shares). I believe they will receive more ownership and voting rights when their new contract goes into effect, though. Meanwhile...
Bang Si-Hyuk is the Chairman of HYBE Corporation and the majority shareholder, with 31.57% ownership. He owns the place. When you add up all seven members' shares together, they still own less than 2% of the total shares of the company.
So please, for the love of GOD, understand that the members of BTS are not in charge. They are just employees. And frankly, they aren't well compensated when you compare them to other artists in the industry. Most sources say the members are each worth somewhere between $25 million to $40 million. Let's go with the low end of $25 million since that's the number I see most often. If Bang PD is worth $2.1 billion, that means each member is worth less than 1.2% of what Bang is worth.
ONE POINT TWO PERCENT!!!!
And you think Min Hee Jin is greedy???
Okay, back to the boys. Let's take a look at Simon Cowell's net worth. You know that guy? The one who formed One Direction and is a music and TV producer and personality? Do you want to guess how much he's worth? Well, its' not $2.1 billion. He's estimated to be worth a measly $600 million. And what about the former One Direction members themselves? (FYI all of these are estimates based upon online media sources).
Harry Styles - $120 million
Zayn Malik - $75 million
Niall Horan - $70 million
Louis Tomlinson - $70 million
Liam Payne - $70 million.
So, let's just pretend they each have $70 million. That means each member of One Direction is worth just under 12% of what Simon Cowell is worth.
One last thing. This is Bang PD's house in Bel Air, California. He bought it from Trevor Noah for $26 million. Mind you, that's potentially more than what the members of BTS are each worth. Just for one house in a country the man doesn't even live in.
Benevolent father figure my ass. But BTS are shareowners!!
Disclaimer: these numbers are all estimated based upon information available on the world wide web.
P.S. the 2024 Q1 earnings call is in a few hours. Prepare yourself for the media play.
