wait for your love - haechan scenario
hellloooo so this one is a request. I've mentioned it before, i'm still not the best at writing angst but I try😅 when i saw this request, a few scenes immediately popped in my head. Hope you like it🥺 also I was listening to We Can't Be Friends by Ariana on repeat while writing this.
Also a short anecdote, when I saw nct dream last year during Sorry, Heart stage I literally bawled my eyes out. Like full on ugly sobbing in my seat haha I was okay during the first verse but when it got to Haechan's turn to sing the chorus the tears just went falling like waterfalls
ANYWAYSSSSSS
For my other works you can check them out here, and for my other story series’ you can check them out here.

"What are we then?"
Those words shouldn't scare Haechan as much as it does. He hates it too. He hates how he can't say it to you but he doesn't want to let you go either.
He hates this grey area the two of you are in now.
"We're us. Isn't that enought?" he asks back
"For fuck's sake, we've been seeing each other for what? like 2 years now? And until now you still can't commit? I can't call you my boyfriend, you don't like it when people ask if we're dating"
"Because it's none of their fucking business"
"Well it's my business, I'm asking you right now, what the hell am I to you?" you stare at him, waiting for an answer. Any answer.
At this point hearing him say you don't mean anything to him would make more sense than the usual silence he'd give you.
"Baby, please I don't want to argue" he mumbles
"See, this is what you do all the time. I'm not a play toy. I'm not some past time you can call whenever you're bored, Haechan. We're adults now. I've invested my time, my feelings, a fraction of my life to you. For this. And you can't even answer me, is that too much to ask? Am I too much?"
You look at him, waiting for him to argue back. You didn't know it was this draining to be in a relationship or situationship or whatever it is you have with him. At some point you got tired of asking him what this all means. When it's clear he's not going to answer you, you stood up from your seat
"I can't do this" you whispered
"What?"
"I can't. I can't do what you're asking, Haechan" you speak clearer this time
He waits a few moments, letting the words sink in.
"What do you mean? I thought you said... you said we can"
With every word he tries not to show he's breaking right and the only thing keeping him together is you, and here you are about to slip through his fingers.
"We can't keep all promises, right? Like how you promised you'll try. This isn't trying."
"Baby-" "Don't" you cut him off. You know it will be a lot harder to walk away if you hear him call you that, it's already hard on you now.
"This is me letting you go" were your last words to him before walking away. You wipe the few tears that escaped, plastering a very fake smile before taking the first step away.
One of many you'd try to take just to get away from this heartbreak.
You would want to say that's not how it ended, that he changed his mind and finally mustered the courage to call you and say what he's really thinking. You want to say that he came the next day and surprised you, knocking on your door holding sunflowers for you.
But no.
After that day you never heard from him again. When you got the (unspoken) message that he'll never try to reach out and fix things between the two of you, you blocked him on everything. Your friends didn't ask questions, you went on with your life. Trying your best to bury and let that part of your story go.
From spending every day and most nights together to being strangers. You acted like he never existed to cover up the hurt you're feeling.
It's been over a year since that. You haven't really cried about it. Not even the day after he left. It's like you're just a shell now. You locked everything in a pandora box in your head, to be forgotten for the rest of time.
"Hey did you hear Dreamers new song?" your roommate asks the moment she steps through the door. You were sitting on the dinning chair, stacks of works and your laptop infront of you
She hears the song playing in the background, "Of course you have, it's good right?" she smiles
"Mhm, I like it"
"Sorry, Heart. Definitely an anthem for the broken hearted" she says withouth meaning out, "I meant like you know it's a sad song" she adds
You chuckle, she probably thinks this song is very fitting for you and you kinda agree with her.
"Anyways, I'm going to the lounge later. Want to come with?"
"Sounds good, I actually need to go out, stretch my legs and get some fresh air"
"Okay, let's leave after lunch"
You met with other friends at the lounge, chatting and sharing notes together. It was a good way to pass time. These days you find that it's best to keep yourself occupied so as not to think about things you'd rather not think about. You kept yourself busy. Finding random hobbies, fixation. For a while you liked running after class, then you got into baking, then crocheting. Activities that keeps you busy, distracted long enough not to remember.
One day you were at a record store, your newest hobby. Browsing for a new record to take home. Today out of the days you forgot to bring your headphones so you hum along the music playing in the store.
While reading the back of the record you were holding, you hear it.
A familiar voice you haven't heard in a long time, a voice you didn't think you'd hear again.
Your head shoots up, looking at the other side of the aisle.
You'd know his voice anywhere. You can be inside the loudest room and you'd still be able to single out his voice.
There he stands right across you, signing out your favorite bands newest song while he has his headphones on. Probably not realizing he's singing a bit too loud.
When Haechan felt someone staring at him, he looks up not expecting you to be looking back at him. He blinks a few times, comtemplating if this was all a dream or he's going crazy and started to hallucinate.
Immediately you put back the record you were holding and ran out the store. Once again leaving Haechan behind.
You're already far by the time he takes the steps to follow you, thinking this time he's not going to make the same mistake but you were already gone.
He knows you blocked him. Of course he tried to call you but his efforts were shut down when he couldn't reach you or his messages won't deliver.
Similar to you, he tried to find distractions. To drown out the thoughts, he drinks, goes out to parties, too many nights he drunk texted you, saying how much he missed you only to see it in the morning unsent. Most of the time there's music directly blasting through his ears. Music being his only escape from his own thoughts, if he's left long enough it's like his own mind is beating him up.
That's how he got into collecting records. He was on the look out for this new record so he decided to drop by the store that day. He didn't expect to see you there.
Out of all the places he'd see you again.
He's not going to lie, he imagined this moment many times before. Even rehearsed what he'd say to you when he see you again but now that it happened he just froze on the spot.
Just like that it's like he back in his room, watching you walk out his door for the last time. He's back to square one.
Tumblr media
It's been weeks and no sign of Haechan. It's a good thing, you think.
Also you've been subtly avoiding going to public places just in case you accidently see him again. You thought you're ready, but the moment you saw him it's like all of these emotions you've repressed since you left came back again.
Your roommate finally convinced you to come out. A few of you were gathering for karaoke night. You almost said no again but you need a night out, one more night in your room might just drive you crazy.
"Oh my gosh, girlie you're hereeeee" one of your friends squeals when she saw you walk in the room
"I'm here as a spectator, not to sing" you tell her, accepting the bottle of beer she hands you
"Alright by me, you better cheer the loudest when I sing"
You got invited to karaoke night. A couple of students from campus got together tonight to hang out for chill night. Even though you don't really sing, you do enjoy hanging out with your friends.
You were talking to another friend when suddenly you hear the intro to a familiar song being sung by a familiar voice.
왜 이리도 쉽게 토라지는지? (Why do I become mad so easily) 내 맘이 작아서 너무 한심하지? (It's pathetic that my heart is so small right?)
You look over the makeshift stage to see Haechan holding the mic, singing out one of your favorite songs.
어떻게 널 볼까? (How can I see you?) 밤새 뒤척인 맘의 조각들 반짝이지 않아 (I toss and torn all night The fragments of my heart don't shine) 난 알고 있는데 내가 할 수 있는 건 (I know it, what I can do is) "I'm sorry", 그 말뿐이란 걸 (Only those words)
Before the chorus starts, Haechan looks through the crowd finding you. He looks straight at you as if he's singing every word to you.
Words you wished you heard from him a long time ago.
Tell me why I let you down Any chance I get, I'm breaking down 잘못인 걸 다 아는데 (아는데), 왜 힘든 걸까? (I know I'm at fault but why is it tiring?) To tell you that I'm sorry, heart
For the rest of the song the two of you look at each other. You listen to him, imagining it was really him who was saying those words and not through the song.
When he finished, you stood up to go outside and get some fresh air.
Of course he's here. Luck was never on your side and fate seems to like playing jokes on you.
Haechan watches your back, giving the mic to the next person before following you out. You hear the footsteps behind you, knowing who it might be without looking back.
You're now at the rooftop of the building, a fewer people were hanging out here than inside. Feeling another presence beside you but they haven't said anything yet.
Even though you already know who it was, you don't say anything instead you get another beer from a nearby cooler and passing it over to Haechan without a word.
For a while neither of you said anything, watching the view in front of you.
“I get flashbacks when I see you and not the good kind” you finally speak out loud
“You’re saying that like I was the worst thing that ever happened to you” he snickers, holding the bottle up to his lips to drink his beer
He really didn’t think you’d talk to him or even acknowledge his existence at all. But now here you are, at some rooftop at a party he least expected to see you. 
He’s trying not to be too obvious but he can’t keep his eyes off of you. Maybe it was the way the light hit your face, or how the cold breeze was hitting his skin and yours. The moment he arrived he was kind of hoping to find you here tonight. He knew some of your friends were coming, you did use to have the same circle of friends until he started to distance himself.
He's glad though knowing you found good people who'll be there for you.
He's looking at you again, not being able to stop himself. It was at this moment he realized. Realized something he never thought he was ever capable of ever doing again. 
Feeling. Loving. Falling and accepting. 
The sound of horns from cars and the murmuring people in the background, the city lights in front the two of you and the stars as the witnesses. Witness for something that’s about to unfold.
It was scary. This new found knowledge scared him. 
In the past it was scary to him to even think about being tied down. To be committed to someone. All of this comes from his fear of failing. He wanted to tell you that before, the last day before you ended things between the two of you he wanted to let you know the reason why he couldn’t set things straight with you was because he was scared of letting you down. He was scared you might feel trapped. 
It's wasn't you who was too much for him. He was the one who felt like he was too much for you. He thought he was being too fast, too careless. His fears got the better of him, costing him a future with you.
You walked away and everything in his life got worse. Like the only light in his life was extinguished. 
Right now feels like that one chance to get things right. Even though he still feels scared, this time he’s willing to take that risk for you.
There are other things to be scared of, like your gaze. It was the way you were looking at him.
Like you can just consume all of him with those eyes. How you’re saying a thousand words with them without saying a single syllable.
One look into his own eyes and he's ready to surrender everything to you.
“Do you really want to hear my answer to that or are you still emotionally unavailable?” you ask, taking a sip of your own drink. 
“At what point did you realize you liked me? Like really liked me?” he asked instead, all he got was a laugh from you. You were laughing out loud like it was the funniest joke you’ve ever heard. 
“We were watching a movie, I mumbled something under my breath. I think it was something along the lines of ‘oh that’s so cute’, talking to myself. Then I felt you hold my hand, you kissed it before holding it in yours for the rest of the movie. It’s not the grandest gesture but at that moment I felt so content. It was all I wanted but I knew you didn’t think the same way” you smile sadly recalling that memory. Giving him an answer, wondering why you did.
"I guess I never said sorry, I'm sorry"
You shrug, taking another swig from your drink. "What's done is done. I would say no hard feelings but I kinda do hate you for what you did"
"Good. I'd be sadder if you said you didn't care. Hate isn't the opposite of love, it's indifference" he says
"Was that what you felt for me before? Indifference?" you can't help but ask, in your mind you're not sure if you're ready to hear his answer but it's too late to take it back
He shakes his head, drinking the rest of his drink before standing straight to face you
"I felt more for you, more than I ever said. In that I was wrong, I admit. I should've told you. It might be no use in telling you now, but I did feel something for you. I was being stupid and was too scared to admit it"
"Then why are you telling me now?"
"Because I realized not having you in my life is scarier than the thoughts in my head. I was too scared of my own mind, I sacrificed you instead when I shouldn't have. I could've told you. I wish I told you"
You listen to him, letting it sink in. For so long you asked just what went wrong, what you could've done differently or what would've happened if you stayed.
"I waited, I waited until you told me you liked me. But the more I waited, the more I started to not like myself. I knew I deserved more but I stayed because I wanted to be with you. You were always first to me" you say
Hearing you say those words breaks something in him. He did like you, he still likes you. Haechan has always kept a safe distance from everyone, you were the only exception.
"I'm glad we got to talk" you say to him with a smile, then you walk back inside.
This time Haechan didn't follow you because he knows this won't be the last time he sees you.
Tumblr media
"Oh my gosh, so that's what happened between the two of you?"
After that conversation with Haechan, you went back to your place and called it a night. The next day your roommate noticed you were staring blankly into space, out of concern she asked you what's wrong. You told her all that happened in the past 24 hours then you told her all about your history with Haechan.
"Yep, I haven't seen him around campus that much after that"
"You know, one of his friends is my blockmate and we go to the same gym. I heard he did an exchange program for a year, maybe that's why you haven't seen him around" she tells you
"Oh really, he did mention it before. Maybe he went through with it" you mumbled
"So you guys were like in a situationship then?"
"I guess so. We weren't exclusive, but he was the only guy I was seeing for like 2 years. Remember when I was barely home"
"Oh! That was him? He used to like send food here all the time whenever you were busy studying"
"What?"
"Oh my god I forgot to tell you that? yea this was like when you guys were a thing. During exam season or when you're busy with reports and stuff, he'd drop off food for you" she tells you
"I thought you had those delivered"
"Girl no, half of the time he leaves it at our door. The only reason I know is because I caught him one time and he fessed up"
No, you definitely didn't know that.
Haechan never told you. He never told you anything. At some point you thought it was better to not ask instead of being met with silence as a reply.
One thing you know though is he's the type to take action rather than say it. You won't be surprised if he did it before, he might not be good at expressing himself but he never passed the chance to make you feel like you're the only girl in his world.
It feels like that was another lifetime ago, that at some point in your life you'd rather be the backburner than totally lose him.
Seeing him again was no help. It's like you spiraled down again. You thought he didn't have this effect on you anymore but you were wrong. You'd be lying if you say you haven't thought of him since you saw him last.
What you didn't know was Haechan felt exactly the same. He's trying to think of a way to reach out to you without seeming to needy, he didn't want you to think he's forcing himself back into your life.
Another week has passed and still no sign of you. He decided to get drinks with his friends, he's a few drinks in when he decided to call it an early night. This really wasn't where he wanted to be.
He's not sure where he wants to be. All he knows is his night would be a thousand times better if he sees you, even just a glimpse.
On his walk back to his place, he plucked a branch from a random plant. Picking out the leaves one by one, leaving a trail behind him.
You're on your way back from the library, deciding to get some midnight snacks first. You noticed the scattered leaves on the road, chuckling at the sight. The more steps you take, you slowly realized it's the same path to your apartment.
You slowed down, looking around to check if anybody was close to you but the street is empty. You grab your phone in your pocket just in case, while you hold your keys with the other hand.
When you're nearing your front door, you see someone sitting at the steps. Head lying low, you can't even see his face but you'd know that brown mop of hair anywhere.
"Haechan?" you called out for him
Haechan looks up, seeing you walking towards him. At first he thinks he's dreaming, he wipes his eyes to clear his vision. Even pinched his arm to check if this was real.
You're here.
He's here.
"What are you doing here?" you asked once you're standing right in front of him
"I grabbed drinks with Yangyang and Jeno, I swear I was walking home. I guess I got confused" he mumbles, now holding a branch with no leaves on it.
You look at it, then looked back at the trail of leaves behind you.
"Do you want to come in? Go drink some water or coffee first before you head back" you offered
"Are you sure?" he asks back, standing up from the steps
"Wouldn't offer if I wasn't. Let's go inside, it's getting chilly"
He steps aside to let you go first, following behind you. The elevator ride up to your floor was quiet, even after going in your apartment Haechan didn't say a word.
"Here, have some water. I can make coffee but it's too late to drink it, do you want ramen or something?" you ask him while getting the snacks you got out of the grocery bag
"Do you usually ask guys to come in with you and cook ramen for them?" he asks
He meant to only think of it, but with the little amount of alcohol in his system seems to have turn the filter off.
You snicker at his question. Instead of answering him, you grab two ramen cup noodles from your cupboard and turn the kettle on. You wait for the red light to turn green before pouring it in the cups, bringing it over the kitchen island and taking the seat beside him.
"I can't even order late night snacks without thinking about you, we used to do it all the time when I came over at yours or when we're having late night hangouts. You ruined a lot of things for me" you finally say
Haechan just looks at your profile. Even though you say it like that, there's really no trace of anger on your face. Maybe you are, but to him you look so pretty and cozy. He wanted to beat himself up for ever thinking he can walk away from this. From you.
"For what it's worth, whenever I get drunk I used to text you all the time. You probably blocked me because the messages never got delivered. Every morning I see that on my phone, message after message until I lost count. I knew you weren't going to answer but I still did it"
"Why?" you ask him
"I missed you. I wanted to tell you I was being stupid, I wanted to beg for you to take me back. But all of those thing I could only say with a bit of help from alcohol. That's how I knew I couldn't go back, not yet anyways. You deserved more than drunken confessions"
You look over at him, for the first time since that night you really look at him. The same eyes that used to feel like home to you.
He looked so different yet the same.
You still feel the same.
"It's been 3 minutes, you hate soggy noodles" you nod at his ramen. Opening your own cup to start eating. Neither of you said anything after that. It wasn't awkward, you actually enjoyed the quiet.
For the first time since Haechan came back and you saw him again, your mind was at peace. You weren't overthinking things. You weren't wondering your long list of what if's.
It's like a part of you knew he's finally here again.
After the quick snack session, he helped you clean up before walking towards the door.
"Thank you for the uh snacks and water" he didn't know what to say, a shy Haechan is a rare sight so you can't help but smile.
Haechan sees this, he can feel his own cheeks redden. You still look so beautiful when you smile, so beautiful that he's ready to fight anyone who makes you smile that isn't him.
"Go home, it's late. You're sober now right?" you ask him
"Yea, I'm good"
"Okay, don't want you getting confused and going to someone else's front door"
"I promise I won't drunk text you again so will you unblock me now? Or if you have a new number you can text me or whatever. Actually you know what, do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Don't listen to me, I'm just blabbing now"
You can't help but giggle at him, the action making Haechan's heart skip a few beats.
"I'm imagining this is how those drunk texts would sound like" you say
"I missed you, Y/N" he mumbles
You don't say anything. He can hear his own heartbeating, each thump like it's the last then you're smiling back at him
"Goodnight, Haechan"
He smiles at you, waving goodbye before finally walking out. He gestures for you to close the door behind him, only leaving after he hears the lock from the other side. He skips back home.
The next few days were back to normal, you weren't feeling gloomy. You were going out with friends. All in all, you're in a great mood.
"Hey, somebody left this outside. Tell me I'm crazy but is this from Haechan?" your roommate hands you over a small bouquet of flowers with a paper bag full of snacks.
"Uh yeah, I think so"
"I know things didn't end well between the two of you, but the boy is still so whipped for you" she mumbles, watching the small smile on your face
"Maybe it's just a peace offering"
"Right, well whatever it might be I say go for it. As long as you're happy"
You look up at her, shocked to hear that all of a sudden "Isn't that what you're worrying about? You really think I didn't notice it, you were listening to Sorry, Heart on repeat the other day then now you're listening to love songs. If he's it for you, then give it a chance"
She left after that, leaving you alone at home.
You take the gifts Haechan sent to your room, putting the flowers in a vase. You see a small note attached,
xx12131xxx just in case you lost it or changed your number. - H
You get your phone and dial the number, it's still in your phone. You unblock it first before you click call, waiting a few rings before you hear his voice
"Y/N?"
"How did you know it was me?"
"I wasn't expecting anyone else, and uh it looks like you didn't change your number"
"Oh yea uhm so you're unblocked now" you told him, not really sure what else to say
He chuckles, "Thanks, so I'm guessing you got the flowers and the snacks?"
"Yeah, thanks by the way. Why though?"
"You shared your stash with me the other night, just wanted to pay you back"
"You didn't have to, I offered. But thanks again"
"Hey uh are you busy right now? or tomorrow or really whenever you're free"
"I don't have anymore classes today"
"Do you want to go grab coffee or food or anything really. Whatever you want, my treat"
If someone told you you'd be going out to get drinks with Haechan, you'd say they're out of their mind. But here you are, visiting a new cafe you've never been to with a guy you thought you'd never be with again.
"I'd get the taro milktea, thanks"
"I'll take this one" he points at the drink in the picture, "And two of the cookies please, thank you" he pulls out his card to pay for the both of you. When you got your drinks and food, you walked back outside to sit on the vacant seats. The weather was nice, it wasn't too hot or too cold. A perfect day to be out.
You open your drink, taking a quick sip while Haechan does the same. You notice he made the face, like when he drinks or eats something sour.
"It's lemon flavored isn't it?" you chuckle, taking the drink from him and giving yours to him instead
"No, it's fine. I'll drink it"
"You hate anything sour flavored, I like lemon it's fine" you sip his drink, it does taste good but you know he won't like it
He watches you get the cookies, breaking it in half before giving him the other.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. You're too in your head again" you tell him
"Sorry, I was just..." he's at lost for words, but this time not for the wrong reason.
It's like his mind can't put what he's feeling in to words.
"Did you get the record you were looking for?" you ask him, changing the topic
"Huh?"
"At the record store"
"Oh I wasn't really buying anything, I was just browsing around. They didn't have the vinyl version of the album I wanted, I'll come back some other time" he tells you, taking a sip of your well now his drink.
"You were singing to the Dreamers, you know them?"
"I know a few songs, Sorry, Heart is good. I like that one"
"Me too. You sounded good when you sang it" you complimented him, this made him smile shyly at you
"Isn't it a bit too sad?" he asks, you shrug your shoulders
"I like it, although my roommate said I've been playing love songs these past few days" you shake your head, remembering what she told you
"Thank you by the way" Haechan suddenly says
"For what? You paid for our drinks"
"I meant for agreeing to get drinks with me. I was an asshole to you. All the time I was gone, I was thinking about how to make it up to you. That is if it's okay with you" he tells you.
He mentally pats himself on the back for not messing that up. Maybe slowly he'll learn how to speak his true feelings, he just hopes you'll be there to listen to him. Even though it took him this long.
"The last thing you asked me was what are we, I was being stupid. I wanted us to be more. I wanted us to be official but I was always scared to say it. I don't know why I was ever scared of committing, I could've been with you. That's my regret"
"Haechan"
"You're not a playtoy to me or just some past time whenever I'm bored. You were never too much for me. If anything I was the one who lacked. I don't blame you for walking away, I deserved that. I needed that so I could finally grow up"
You listen to him. You listen to him finally say the words you've been waiting to hear from him.
"This time I want to do it right, I want to take you out on dates, be there to go on night walks with you, go buy records we'd listen to, whatever you want to I just wan to do it with you. If you'll still have me"
The last words was barely a whisper, like he's scared to say it outloud, scared you might turn him away.
Haechan feels his heart beating wildly again, one day he might pass from arrest he thinks. Then you smile at him and it's like everything in his world stops.
You lean over, kissing the corner of his lip lightly. It was so quick but to him it felt like long time
"All I wanted was that, when it gets too much in your head you can talk to me. I'll listen. We don't have to walk away from each other" you tell him
"I'm sorry" he whispers
"I forgive you, the same way I forgive myself from everything that has happened. We need to heal from those wounds for us to move forward"
He smiles at you, he didn't even notice he got a bit teary eyed until a few tears escaped. He wipes it away before looking back at you again.
You stand up from your seat, holding out your hand to him. He looks at your hand then your face then your hand again before intertwining it with his.
There wasn't a destination in mind, he's probably thinking the same. The two of you just walk where your steps lead you to, with him following beside you holding you close to him.
Haechan looks at your hands, a smile forming on his face. He leans towards you to kiss you on the head, the action making you smile too.
"Thank you" you hear him mumble. You didn't say anything back but he felt you grip his hand tighter. Squeezing it three times.
And he knew everything was finally going to be okay. This time, you won't let go.

oooh i was just tryna find some huayin content because i was bored and a little tired and wanted to cheer myself up AND GUESS WHAT
i thought tumblr was a safe place for me to be insane and queer and have a good time w my silly little rarepairs and polycules and hcs
but apparently. i can't ask for one place to be silly lmao there are ppl on tumblr still being like haters... for ships they could easily avoid? and putting it... under the huayin tag? which is, you know. the uh. the intention is kind of confusing. esp since ppl search up that tag w the intent to consume content related to their personal interests and probably don't want to see ppl hating on what they enjoy in the process <3
once again i don't really see the point in so avidly hating a ship that ur tagging it... in hopes that ppl who ship it will see it? because... they're ppl who ship it... and will likely not agree w u... and will likely just see u as another hater... and either ignore or fight and like where will that get anyone? sincerely? and hating an artist so much like w so much passion i think there are better things in life to do such as: find an artist u do like and move on!!
but i digress i just. i wanted to make a lil post w my hcs for them bc i <3 huayin hehe
reusing some from my long post abt all the rarepairs and polycules i ship!
hua cheng rarely got sick, but when he did, he wasn't worried (he knew yin yu would take good care of him)
both yin yu and hua cheng know how to cook, so they make each other meals when they know the other is too busy to remember to cook for themselves
yin yu can read hua cheng's handwriting! possibly the only person on heaven, hell, and earth who can, he's really used to seeing his messy scribbles and has learned how to decipher them
hua cheng was kind of a xie lian gatekeeper for a while, but he regaled yin yu with stories and let yin yu into his temple dedicated to xie lian
e'ming trusts yin yu and likes him to equal levels to xie lian
they have some little odd creatures of mysterious background that they keep and raise together in paradise mansion
yin yu asked hua cheng to teach him how to draw and paint and hua cheng has little lessons for him when they're both free
yin yu's interested in different kinds of masks, so hua cheng gifted him a room and funds to invest in new ones
they have chill time once a month when they're required to leave their work to just spend an entire day together
hua cheng's love language to yin yu is acts of service and gift giving
yin yu's love language to hua cheng is acts of service (no wayyy) and touch
hope u enjoy :) and also wishing u a nice day :D

If you don't mind me asking but when did you first get into re:zero
yeah i dont mind at all :o ig yallre gonna hear my full origin story now haah. its my—my… ok id say tragic backstory but i dont think this is really that tragic LMAO. my humorous backstory? silly backstory?
anyway i got into rezero in summer of 2020!! this was months before s2 started airing and by around this time there was just s1, s1 directors cut may or may not have been out?? i forgor :<, but then s2’s first teaser came out right about now.
it was quarantine…. i was bored one day and wanted smth new to watch… and by then id only really briefly seen rezero—like you know that s1 promo poster with subaru standing there while surrounded by some of the main girls in s1 (beatrice felt emilia rem ram)?? yeah id seen that. in the back of my mind i kinda assumed the show was just another one of those abt a dude surrounded by his harem of girls or smth?? :< but then i learned the Real Premise is the time travel. via death!!!! and ive always loveddd angst and whump so i was like “NO FUCKING WAY I HIT THE JACKPOT” and eagerly looked into rezero some more to see if it was worth watching. and then i saw all the shit reviews on rz that never seemed to agree on if it was good or not…… and then gigguk’s video…… and then i saw mother’s basement on youtube make a defense of rezero s1 and i was like!!! ok fuck it im watching this show. i want the angst i want the complex time travel shit. i think id spoiled myself on a couple of subarus deaths by this point trying to decide if i should commit to rezero and then i started binge watching s1!! esp when i was like ok this is a good time to get into it s2 was announced right??
anyway i got hooked on rezero fr 👍👍 the first s1 emisuba lap pillow had me quaking in my boots ;-;;; and i was already invested from ep1 bc i liked the characters a lot already!!! i am simply BUILT DIFFERENT i loved subaru from day one!!! by the royal selection episodes ofc i was dying of secondhand embarrassment but tbh i grew even more invested in rezero after that!! i was and still am super impressed that the narrative had the balls to have subaru fuck up sooo so so bad there. like seeing that emisuba argument and the julisuba duel for the first time was crazyyy. the conflict was really good and the latter s1 development…. woagh.
and then you know i finish s1 and i immediately get to researching how to read, i read arc 4’s wn and bawl my eyes out from the sheer amount of rollercoaster both the emotions and Long Ass Novel gave me (yes i was bawling my eyes out at parent and child) (yes i was bawling my eyes out at choose me) (yes i was bawling my eyes out for all the suffering loops) (yes i was bawling) (i have no clue how i read all those pages fr like that arc is massive), i speedrun arc 5, i accidentally spoil certain bits for myself (arc 6 stuff), i read most of arc 6 in spurts, tune in every week for s2 (and bawled my eyes out seeing the s2 part 1 op for the first time) etc etc!! one thing lead to another and now i am here…….. three yrs in this fandom… nearly (?) a yr being active on rezero tumblr… HAH
also i made a reddit account back inn…. 2020 or 2021 bc i wanted to be a tinyyy bit active in rezero reddit (this was half a mistake btw. i think i have more balls of steel now but my younger self was sooooo naive. shaking them by the shoulders. this is an anime fandom!!!!!! and this is reddit!!! whatre u expecting???? i am less shy now on the internet thats for sure!!). anyway im still a tiny bit active on rz reddit now after not touching it for like a year. now i use my reddit account for spreading otto propaganda and slander /lh …../hj
but anyway ive never been active in fandoms until rezero and thats bc id usually lurk and a lot of my past hyperfixation medias were :< big fandoms :<<< but then. ok im a fanfic enjoyer and i didnt write much fanfic or publish fic at all before this fandom but then in 2020 after watching s1 i checked rezero’s ao3 page and *sniffles* *sobs* thERE WAS ONLY LIKE 2 PAGES ON THERE MAN….. A WHOLE DESERT…. yes and then one thing lead to another and now there is more fic and also ig id be considered an english fic writer elder maybe…… i started posting in like fall/winter 2020? and maaaan im one of the only ppl from that era whos still posting i think!!! ive seen the entire english fanfic scene pop up!! ive participated in a bunch of community events… sooo wild to think about. i feel old guys!!!
but now i have gotten more and more active in the rz fandom yes :3 its been fun!! rezero is very important media to me and ive met lots of cool people in my time here :) when october 2024 rolls around itll be s3 time (AAAAA HYPE HYPE HYPE) and like four yrs of me being in this fandom?? its wild but my lifes genuinely changed a lot bc of me getting into rezero!! met lots of cool people… made pals… gotten my writing and art out there and improved on it via. large amounts of rezero fanart HAH.. became more unhinged.. etc etc :D even got to meet one of my buddies i met via rezero irl 👍👍 more irl crossover events will happen i swear.
also gigguk in my eyes redeemed himself for his old rezero skit vid by making a glowing review for rezero s2 with his pals. i can forgive him i suppose :<<<
in conclusion: idk if i count as a fandom elder but i sure have a lot of my own fandom lore pfft :<<<

Ranking Zelda stories because I am bored
Happy Easter and Trans Visibility Day! I'm bored and wanted to rank the stories of the 3D Zelda games. Spoilers of course. Ranked from favorite (top) to weakest (bottom). I also won't be including WInd Waker because I never beat it (not the game's fault, I bought HD during the Switch's lifecycle and got tired of the Wii U gamepad). A lot of my problems are just personal gripes and not really criticisms.
Tears of the Kingdom: Controversial placement, I know (I have been literally harassed SEVERAL times over this take, I am disappointed in humanity). It has its issues, but like, what thing DOESN'T have flaws? Everything is flawed, it came free with your entertainment. The plot beats for Tears of the Kingdom are absolutely insane. The Imprisoning War and the events leading up to it all felt connected and relevant to each other and the events in the present. Not to mention watching stuff like the Molduga memory and the Imprisoning War itself was extremely hype. Seeing the interactions between Sonia, Rauru, Zelda and Mineru got me really attached to these characters. The events in the present also feel meaningful and urgent. Your friends from the previous game are ACTUALLY in trouble in this game and not just being stalked by a giant robot that's doing nothing. The Sages also felt more connected than the Champions ever did. The camera not being locked behind a backtracking quest this time was cool too. Overall, this game's story hit the hardest, especially with the Dragon Tears quest.
Skyward Sword: Great story with a great cast. Backtracking is a bit of a pain and could have been handled better, but I love the events of the game. Groose's character development is truly excellent. Link and Zelda having a connection also assisted in making the adventure hitting harder.
Twilight Princess: As a former Twilight Princess hater, I would like to apologize to this game. I had a biased hatred against the game because I thought it was just TP fans that were toxic when in reality its just the Zelda fanbase as a whole that has a massive toxicity problem (not all Zelda fans are toxic). The whole beginning segment with Ordon Village and the Twili Realm sets up Link's quest perfectly. The story as a whole is really great until Ganondorf. Ganondorf in this game is genuinely really weak as a character, same with Zelda. They at least have the manga to help them but still...
Majora's Mask: I love the concept for this game's story and for the most part its really well done. Its just short and a lot of the interesting stuff is in the side quests. This is totally fine because it helps get me invested in the world, but most side quests are just... meh. Anju/Kafei, the grandma stories and the Romani Ranch quest lines (including the Ranch Race with the Gorman Brothers) are really great though.
Breath of the Wild: Man... This game's backstory is SO, SO, SO GOOD. Like wow is it good. I just HATE how its told. Stuff that would be cool to see is NEVER shown. Like why not show us Zelda and Link vs Calamity Ganon? Not to mention the Camera backtracking quest... I will say, at least it made the Champion's Tunic plot relevant. TotK should've made the Leathers important. Also the Divine Beast quests just don't sit right with me (outside of the Gerudo one, that one was really great). The Divine Beast fights are incredible though, they make up for the atrocious dungeon bosses.
Ocarina of Time: Too boring and unoriginal for me. Yes, TotK takes a lot from BotW's style of story, but it at least builds upon it and has unique aspects like Crisis at Hyrule Castle and Mineru's entire questline. I do like how Ganondorf mocks Link, especially in the Forest Temple, as it makes him more relevant. Ganondorf waiting until Zelda gave Link the Light Arrows just was incompetent though.
Alright, that's my ranking of each 3D Zelda story I have an opinion on. I very much expect disagreement (especially with TotK) and that's fine, just please do not attack me over this stuff. Its just opinions. I've been harassed way too much over my takes on TotK, its tiring.

Hello!! I wanted to ask some advice 😞 I have a fic idea but I've never posted any writing before and its like a very very specific band au and I'm scared no one will care to read it because of how much music context it requires 😭 I really admire your writing so like...what do you suggest...
(Also super excited for next kickoff ! I've never been this invested in a fic)
hii my love!! omg a band au sounds like so much funnn are you kiddinggg i would eat that UPPP. my advice would be to just go ahead n write it!!! it's super nervewracking to share work, especially if you've never shared before, so for the time being you can just write w the idea that no one else will read it except for yourself! that'll help you establish a healthy relationship w your writing & your hobby in general even before you post should you choose to post
as for the specificity n music context, i personally think thats SO FUCKIN RAD!!! i love a story where i can enjoy a romance but also have aspects outside of it that i can learn something new from or take something away from. i have read some pretty incredible fics & books, but the ones that have always had a lasting impact on me are the ones i went into knowing nothign ab a specific something, but then i leave it feeling like i've learned something i wouldn't have ever known before!!
it's a totally valid feeling though, esp in fanfiction where you might think readers want to read ab only their fave characters or specifically romance. i felt this way a lot with including the film major & photography aspect to kickoff, i feared readers would find it boring and would just want to read ab gojo x reader. i think in ch9, gojo only had like 40% of the chapter screentime and didn't even make his first appearance until like 5k words into the chapter, but i'm still really happy w the chapter and the response i got was great too. i see some of my writer mutuals break the norms n experiments w their stories all the time too, and honestly, i think that makes for some of the BEST and most MEMORABLE stories :)
as for fears that people may not see your story, i totally get that. keep in mind, i think the jjk fandom specifically doesn't really have too many long fics, at least compared to what i've seen in other fandoms, n tends to steer towards oneshot content (i could be wrong ab this but it's just what i've noticed! at least on tumblr. long fics always get lots of love on ao3 tho) so don't worry too much if you're not getting as many notes or reblogs etc as some other authors, bc if you choose to post series content, then you'll technically be in a niche category for this specific fandom. BUT i have noticed that the quality of interactions w longer stories is very amazing and totally worth being a part of this writing community for that reason!!
when i first started posting, i really didn't know what to expect since the last time i had a fanfic blog was for like two months when i was 12 on deviantart LOL. and now i'm just extremely blown away n humbled by the support. but that's the thing- you'll never ever know unless you try! again, just write and picture it that you're the only one that's going to read it, so put all that juicy music context in there n really write w that passion in mind!! (i'm assuming you're into music or bands n that's your inspiration? don't be afraid to let that interest show!!) and that's really the only thing you need to get started, after that it's just simply copy pasting n then posting :)
if you do get around to posting or sharing it then feel free to tag me bb!! i'd love to read it n support you. good luck to u n much love!! <33 i hope this helps in anyway
and thank you for looking forward to kickoff :)
ps. in case you want any specific writing advice i have some on my page here (sorry bb i just realized i wasn't sure if you were asking for actual concrete writing advice haha my bad if i misinterpreted)

Santa Baby
On the seventh day of Tropemas, hyperfixated-gvf gave to me:
One very flirty mall Santa...and that's about it!
Christmas Song Pairing: “Santa Baby" by Eartha Kitt
Trope: Falling In Love With a Mall Santa
~~~
Pairing: Jake Kiszka x Reader
Warnings: None!
Words: 1.3k
~~~
“I think Santa is trying to hit on me,” you whispered to your friend, meandering down the busy corridor of the mall, just window shopping as you watched last-minute gifters scramble to find what they were looking for.
They looked around, not seeing any jolly old men in red suits leering at you. Or at all, really. “Um…what Santa?” they stage whispered back, arching one perfectly-sculpted brow. “Please tell me you’re not talking about the window decals, because I don’t know how to provide that kind of mental support.”
You rolled your eyes, shaking your head before taking another sip of your drink. “No. Back there by that phone case cart. He definitely winked at me.”
The lip-purse of disbelief made you stick your tongue out at them, and they laughed, putting their hands up in defense. “I’m pretty sure Santa winks at everyone. Isn’t that part of the gig?”
And, well, that definitely could have been the case, now that you thought about it. “Maybe,” you sniffed haughtily. Any other time, you’d have let it be, gone on your way, and not spared it another thought. But you were bored and had nothing to do – no time schedule – so you hooked your arm in your friend’s and did a u-turn as they laughed at your pettiness.
“I believe you!” they giggled, and you smiled but didn’t stop your beeline back to where you’d locked gazes with a warm-eyed Santa Clause. 
They didn’t seem to be around when you got back to the spot, and you figured they must have meandered off to spread Christmas joy someplace else until you heard a low, “Ho-ho-ho,”From behind you, and you turned around to find the same mocha stare you’d caught sight of earlier. Something about this mall Santa was captivating, and it was made all the more noticeable now that you were faced with him.
But he didn’t seem to be looking in your direction. Instead, he was looking at your friend, asking them what they wanted for Christmas.
For a split second, you were disappointed. But then you remembered that there was nothing to be disappointed about: this was a stranger who you had no clue whether or not was a good person or a creepy old man or just doing their job. 
The disappointment dissipated as soon as he was done chit-chatting with your friend, though, because you knew flirting. Body language was practically your job, after all, and the slight tilt of his head, the way he took a half-step in, the way his voice dropped – this man was flirting with you.
Hard.
“If there was a chair around, I’d ask if you wanted to tell me from my lap, but what would you like for Christmas this year, beautiful?”
Your friend’s eyes widened, and they had to turn around slightly to keep from laughing out of shock, and you immediately embraced the smug sense of satisfaction that you’d been right.
You hummed, pursing your lips in thought as you watched those brown eyes dip in the direction of the movement, then meet yours with a mischievous twinkle that seemed rather off-brand for Santa’s usual innocent sparkle that all the stories talked about. “I don’t believe in Santa Clause anymore,” you said. “Ask me later, maybe.” 
The man’s eyes crinkled with a smile and, still doing his best to seduce you in the middle of the mall, hummed. “Does that mean I have permission to climb down your chimney tonight?” he asked suggestively, although the humor was clear in his voice. Had it not been, this fun, flirty exchange would be much creepier, and you’d likely report him to a mall security guard.
But, luckily for him, you were quite invested in the short conversation, and were willing to play along. “Why do I get the feeling you’re not looking to eat only the cookies I’ll put out?” you mused demurely, and your friend gagged out of the corner of your eye. 
Before he could answer, a group of children with parents that were encouraging them to go up to the mall’s attempt at marketing the season entered the frame, and Santa had to slip back into the much less suggestive role he was supposed to be playing. “See you later, Santa.”
You turned and flounced away, your friend at your heels. “I am…never doubting you again,” they laughed, following you all the way into another section of the mall, where you knew there was a store you liked. 
“What happened to, ‘I believe you, Y/N!’ huh?” you asked dryly, and they flicked you in the arm for the attitude. 
“Yeah, yeah, oh great Santa whisperer. Be careful of that ego – too big and it won’t fit your husband’s hat. And besides,” they sighed, looking into the windows of the shops you walked past, “If you had believed that I believed you, I wouldn’t have had to listen to that gross little exchange between you and the fat man.”
You laughed, and that particular strand of conversation fell off naturally as you entered the store and began to browse the tables, chock-full of Christmas discounts. Neither of you really had anything to buy, but it was fun looking at everything that hadn’t been snatched up by other shoppers. Still, though, every shop had its ending, and this one’s came in the form of your friend sidling up to you with puppy eyes.
“I know we just got drinks a little bit ago, but I’m hungry now. Will you come with me back to the food court?”
And far be it from you ever turning down a trip to the food court. So, back on your way you went, across the mall again to reach that sweet heaven of fast food and smoothies galore. “You get the good stuff, I’ll grab a table?” you asked, searching through more filled tables than not – all the shoppers obviously having had the same idea as you and your friend.
You finally caught sight of an empty table near the center of the food court, and listlessly made your way over to it, not really paying attention to the other patrons around you. That’s why, when a random hand darted out and caught your wrist, you tensed up, ready to use what little self-defense skills you had. But Miss Congeniality had taught you enough about the four target spots on a man’s body that you felt confident you could hit at least one. 
“What the–”
“I found a chair, beautiful. Ready to tell me what you want for Christmas?”
Though he sounded a little less sure of himself now without the fat suit and beard combo, you recognized his voice right away, and that was followed by those baby-cow brown eyes that now looked up at you from a handsome face.
“Santa!” you exclaimed, demeanor shifting once you knew it wasn’t a creep trying to assault you. “You found me!”
“Jake, actually,” he chuckled, motioning to the food on his tray. “I’m not on the clock, and if I have to answer to ‘Santa’ one more time today, I’m gonna turn into the Grinch.”
Studying his face, you admired his high-set cheekbones and the way his long hair, tied up in a bun, framed his face with the fallen tendrils. Breathtakingly handsome. You knew he wasn’t a creepy old flirt under that damn costume.
You hummed, noticing that there were three extra seats at his table. “But that would mean I couldn’t touch you even with a 39 and a half foot pole,” you pouted.
“Then get a 40 foot one and I can whisper my number through it that way.” Jake leaned back, and even if he wasn't dressed as Santa any longer, his lap still looked mighty tempting to sit in.
Across the food court, you saw that your friend only just got to the counter – you figured you had some time, and it wasn’t every day you accidentally fell in love with a mall Santa, so you sat down across from him, looking him dead in the eye. “You know, I think I’d rather take my chances.”

ofmd s2 incoherent rambling ahoy: about tealoranges
ok so.
i get it.
i get why jim and oluwande didn't leap back into one another's arms upon reuniting.
see. at the end of s1, the show did what i in hindsight think was kind of a stupid thing. it had THREE couples. and it separated ALL of them.
and i suspect the thinking went 'well we can't have all three couples reunite at the same time when the crews meet up again! that'll be repetitive and boring!'
and that's fair. it would be.
(which is why separating all three couples was stupid)
so they decided to have three DIFFERENT reunions:
Ed and Stede, a troubled, stormy, hugely passionate reunion, epic romance, merman etc
Lucius and Peter, a rocky but much less volatile 'oh thank god you're alive! marry me!' reunion
and Jim and Oluwande, a super chill 'oh hey, missed you' type reunion, where the separation ended up undoing the relationship
if you're going to have 3 similar story events occur at the same time (which.... you shouldn't, but if that's the corner you've written yourself into), then you want those 3 events to be as dissimilar as possible.
i get it.
here's what i would have done instead:
swap J+O with L+P
because J+O are the more interesting relationship; the one s1 spent more time getting us invested in. it makes sense that it should continue, or at LEAST get a big, heartbreaking ending, instead of them basically breaking up offscreen. imo THEY should have been the couple that got married in s2! that seems obvious to me!
and L+P..... well, i like em, they're cute, but like, a. the audience is naturally less invested in them because we didn't see them get together, b. 'we don't own each other' but suddenly they're monogamously married eh?? and c. lucius on the whole didn't work in s2.
see
it really
reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly
wasn't a good idea to have Lucius be horribly abused in his time separated from the crew and then profoundly traumatised. it wasn't, i'm sorry. it wasn't treated seriously or respectfully, it had no lasting ramifications, and it doesn't fit his character's core comedic role which is to be a chill lazy cute lil bitch who sucks at pirating
s2 lucius is not fun to watch. he's angsty and despondent. which would be fine if his story was going to be treated properly as a story of overcoming trauma, but it's not, at all. so watching him just makes me sad and grumpy.
but JIM?
Jim's core comedic role has, from the start, been The Serious One with the Big Dramatic Quest!
give JIM the rocky, passionate reunion! let Oluwande leap into Jim's arms! let Jim be angsty and recover! let Jim propose marriage!
doesn't that fit much better? and Jim's already gone through the trauma of Blackbeard so, like, we can have J+O be The Overcoming Recent Trauma Couple to E+S's Overcoming Old Trauma Couple, and then we can have L+P just being easygoing once-lovers like 'oh hey it's you! <3 still wanna date? nah? ok, cool, love u <3'
and it'll be fine because Lucius doesn't need a wedding to fix his psychological wounds because - BECAUSE - because because because ACTUALLY this is all actually a sneaky way for me to suggest that we COMPLETELY CUT the shit Lucius went through!
all of it!
completely!
hand puppet joke? hand puppet nope! didn't happen!
he fell overboard, he was picked up by Zheng's ship, he's been chilling with Auntie this entire time! yay!
...... yeah so i guess this has now kinda turned into me rambling about how i'd rewrite the whole season huh :/
(but like, again, the ease with which the story could have just had Lucius go from 'thrown overboard' to 'chilling with Auntie'?? IT WOULD HAVE BEEN SO EASY? why include The Horrors at all? what do they add??? all they amount to in the end is one more reason for Lucius and the crew to hate Ed, which, a. THEY ALREADY HAVE TEN MILLION REASONS TO HATE ED and b. if you want them to be Ed's FAMILY by the end of the season maybe you want to start CUTTING BACK on reasons to hate him!)

Ok i finished it, here are my final thoughts
I did not care for the winner smh i was rooting for the other one lol need the alternate ending.
Favs: axel and scary girl. Cannot believe they never interacted? U mean to tell me scary girl never approached axel about her weapons?? Sounds fake.
Overall thoughts: the season has great animation, overall kinda mid. I think its the same as tdroti where they kinda make u wanna root for some characters bc theyre nice but u end up rooting for the bad guys cause theyre more interesting and end up eliminating good characters pretty early on which kind of affected how i view this season as a stand alone thing.
In regards to the relationships portrayed, this is a big step for fresh “we cant show gay characters bc its too political” tv. Like it wasnt handled awful or in a joking manner and i like how respectful and supportive even? Now in the other hand u got emma and chase which like. Cant be t0tal drama WITHOUT at least one bad relationship. Really disappointed w emma’s character as the story developed.
Idk what i expected, but it certainly was not that.Its not a bad watch but would i sit through it again? Probably not. TD still has its writing flaws and have gotten…VERY uncomfortable w their fart stuff and their vmit stuff. I mean i guess in the end its for kids and they think fart jokes are funny for the kids but. Idk why center a whole episode around it and. Detail it the way it was? I have not forgotten about the dramarama gremlin, i know theyre into stuff there. Also a lot of the characters are pretty one dimensional. It can get pretty boring to watch really if youre not invested in the remaining characters lol. They have a couple good lines here and there. Was i entertained? Yeah. Overall it does its job. Theres drama, theres funny teens. It sure does do the bare minimum of being a td season at the least. I guess if you’re like the one dude and never watched tdi and this would be the main introduction to the show…it would be a decent start. Surely enough there will be someone u root for. 6/10
Ranking of seasons as of now: (i dont count dramarama as a td season)
1. TDI
2. TDWT
3. RR
4. TDA
5. TD23
6. TDROTI
7. TDPI
8. TDAS
that is all

is this a safe place to hate k4veh and k4vetham. Its so funny that his fans act like hes the most well written character in the game when hes just a guy with imposter syndrome and mommy issues that got scammed. funny of them also to act like nilou didnt do anything in the story like i think nilou is boring as fuck but at least she paid an important role on the first and last arcs, all kaveh did was argue with alhaitham at the end for 2 minutes for #fujopoints and thats it. also congrats to hkv for being the first gay ship to be implied but they feel sooooo forced bc u can tell hoyoverse is only good at writting yuri bc of past experience
I didn't even know that people were trying to argue about nilou too, you're bringing me discourse the likes of which i cannot even imagine. Like i cannot bring myself to get invested in nilou just because she's boring but objectively she's far more plot relevant than kaveh like bro we were trapped in her dream world for like an entire arc.
In all seriousness though, i don't want to be too much of a bitch because i do have mutuals who like kaveh/kavetham in a normal people manner so this is all about a specific chunk of the fanbase, i'm not making blanket statements like mewchies if you're reading this it's not about you i literally just have seen Things against my will on twitter and want to bitch about it + i'm adding a readmore cause this is becoming long
I don't even think it's like. An issue that's specific to the characters or the pairing. In a vacuum i would have probably felt entirely neutral about kaveh because he's not even an unlikeable character. If i lived in a cave and played the game without knowing what anyone else is doing in another lifetime maybe i would have even liked him. I don't harbor negative feelings towards the people who can be normal about liking a character but the thing is that he is literally just some guy. Like his Thing is that he's just some dude who's in his 30s and is kind hearted to a fault cause then he always gets scammed which in itself is like. A pretty funny/endearing character concept in itself. And i know that him being Just Some Guy makes him relatable to all manner of tormented young adults who are also Just Some Guy as well which is FINE. I get it. We are all some guy deep down. But what bothers me is that . A certain side of the fanbase wants him to be kaeya so fucking bad and will project conflicts onto kaveh that are literally just kaeya's and it's like. I will kill you with a rock. They have very similar conflicts except for the fact that kaveh's are repackaged to be about more mundane things compared to kaeya's and it's so... Kaeya has been there doing all that 3 years before kaveh was even a twinkle in the hoyoverse devs' eye . If you're a kaveh fan you better only ever say nice things about kaeya or i will strangle you.
My OTHER grievance with kaveh fujos which are really NOT even always the same category as the fans doing what i just mentioned is that . They draw him and write him like a cishet woman on the verge of a divorce i don't know how else to explain like i feel like people brought back the insane super masc muscled seme x skinny malnourished frail and womanly uke with an inexplicably fat ass trend from older yaoi full force for these two in a way that i hadn't seen since like 2012 it's so sickening not even in a funny way not even just redesigning him to have different body proportions from the standard twink model like that's good end encouraged but NO they're just literally making him as frail and womanly and vitamins deficient looking as possible and then giving him a scary waist to hips ratio like ENOUGH. ENOUGJ that man has no ass HE HAS NO ASS HE'S SHAPED LIKE A BOOKMARK❗❗

time for my current totk thoughts bcuz im like, halfway i think thru main story and got all the geogylph memories! BIG SPOILERS AHEAD.
i think there is SO MUCH missing and it is depressing! like. the memories aren't enough. what do you mean we're going from zelda being like 'im so saaad i don't know how to time magic :(' and then suddenly time magics a flying knife?? and then sonia DIES? it feels like there is an entirely different game going on with zelda's wacky time-travel hijinks that we're missing due to only seeing glimpses and it feels very empty. idk if they'll fill the gaps with dlc or if this was just an issue of them rushing a game that needed a few more years to cook or what.
i hate the imperialism. all i hear is 'hyrule is ok and good bcuz it is run by pure good-natured imperialists vs those EVIL brown imperialists from the desert who are trying to do the same thing but EVILER.' i went from trying to vibe with rauru to rapidly disliking him.
ganondorf has the personality of an evil piece of cardboard but he's also hot so i give him a pass.
zelda has the personality of a good piece of cardboard and i'll give her a pass only for depressing me by being a soulless dragon flying around.
i think there is something to say about how the gerudo are not actually part of the hylian kingdom. even though they're all like 'we stand with u imperialist hyrule we wuv u!!' there is a very strong distinction that they are not ruled by the hylian monarchy. like. ganondorf was evil and vile for pressing back against rauru and waging war and not allowing the gerudo to merge with hyrule, and yet the gerudo still chose not to become one with hyrule. they just seemed to foster positive relations while maintaining their own as a separate entity. but who knows! maybe the game will prove me wrong and i'll eat my hat in rage!
the sage cutscenes are bland and bad. once again, cannot tell if the choice of copying and pasting each cutscene was a result of bad writing or the game not being allowed to cook long enough.
the depths keep making me pee my pants and i hate them but like just in a personal i rly hate the dark kinda way.
honestly back to the sages but they're bland in general as well. they tried to recreate the champions of old without any of the personality and feeling of connection to them. i do not give a single heck or darn about these sages, they just sure do exist as a means of passing on a power to the current champs. i feel this just makes their existence soulless and that they were just designed to be tools of rauru/means of furthering the plot. very boring.
i've been kinda irritated that a lot of npcs don't remember you. key ones do, like story-quest npcs, but like characters i've saved countless times in botw are like 'who r u'. and then characters are still SO surprised link is the heroic swordsman when it seems like this news otherwise traveled very quickly. i swing rapidly from delighted that npcs remember me and irritated when they don't, making it feel like botw didn't exist.
speaking of botw not existing. i get its because they wanna focus on zonai/avoid bogging the game down with more assets, but the lack of sheikah/guardian tech is really irritating. it's like everybody forgot about it. you cannot tell me they magically purged ALL of hyrule of any remnants of the guardian tech. also i know it is deranged to say it but i lowkey miss the panic of being chased down by guardians. it added a spice to the overworld.
overall... i just think botw is the better game?? which is not surprising, its hard for a sequel to surpass its predecessor, but i think they focused too much on new gimmicks and once again neglected the story, which is what i RLY care about. so once again i'm more invested in completing my funny lil side missions and leaving dragon zelda to rot in the skies.

Hiiiii genius! First off, i have to say once more, i am so excited for the new story coming up. i feel like it's going to be a really good one, and i have so many questions but i am going to wait until the first chapters come out so i dont try to spoil it for myself (or for everyone else).
in the meantime, i started to re-read route 1 (i have to come back and re-read all the yandere fics because i think i've read all of them on tumblr already, i wish there were more enha yandere materials on tumblr) but i just realized as i was reading and going back to anon asks to be sure, heeseung in chapter 4/5, did he actually fall in love with chae-unnie first before he saw MC? because now that i've re-read it, and read the part where "his heart fluttered" when he spoke to her after the fight in the cafeteria, I feel like "wow, how did i miss this?" did he actually go slightly yandere and follow chae-unnie when she bought the necklace so he could date her and be with her, but then changed his mind when he saw MC?
also, did he also have his friends stage the whole harrasment/kidnapping scene with chae-unnie so he could use that as a way to date her? because i started to get the vibe that he went yandere for chae unnie after having his heart broken at being "fooled by hackers" but then saw MC (which judging by the verbiage in the story, she must have been really super pretty, like too pretty to be 17 like those social media models, that was the vibe i got lol) and then fell in love, but then went yandere for her when he found out she was the one who texted him.
This story is like a new adventure each time i read it and i love it! and i feel like Niki's story is going to be the same way. i love your mind and creations, please never give up because not going to lie, i think i started reading route 1 in february, and i know the story is dark itself but it was good and intriguing that it got me through some very tough times and if it weren't for yandere heeseung's next move in getting MC (true love is never pretty i feel like) i would have been still going through a rough patch. i became so invested in the story, re-reading it doesnt get boring. so thank you and keep it up! we are rooting for you!
Genius i- 😭✋🏻 anon r u making me blush or what lol- thank you so much once again, it's giving me sm happiness to read this 💗
And about the questions, it's such a huge spoiler lmao to answer all of these but I'll try my best to answer a bit.
HS never loved Chae, but he did had his heart fluttered because of her because after all that's the face he had fallen in love with—the pictures and stuff. But still, about the love thingy, I could say 'almost'. He almost love her 🤓 AND THE NEXT QUESTIONS ARE REALLY SPOILERSS HAHA-
But again, I think this is clear in itself, a spoiler it is; he almost love Chae.
Also knowing about MC, all I could say is that something intrigued HS upon finding out it was her. Eh, and another one is I mean MC doing that kind of stuff is really insane lol so it's a bonus for HS falling even more for her (despite the raging madness inside him)
And thank you! I couldn't thank you enough for this, I really love this words of yours, truly. Thank you sm for supporting me, it makes me so happy to have you here as my reader and always being here all the way. And I'm so glad to hear that my fic help you went through tough times like, it happens to me too and fics are the only thing I could go to and so it's really heartwarming that I could help you in it too. Like, thank you! Thank you for all these wonderful long paragraphs, I seriously love them, they always make my day. Writing this takes such plenty of time, and to have you spending them on me and for my stories are just such an honour! Thank you for existing, and thank you for being here 💗 I appreciate you alot.

the new chapter is soooooo good 🤕😿 the tension and the hesitation of hongjoong is so well writed i really like it. i also like the way you make the protagonist such a brave and also sly woman bc is kinda of boring reading those fics with a stupid crybaby protagonist alright i do not identify with this bitches 🙄 jokes aside, im getting more and more invested~~ yunho finally appeared and im so so so happy and anxious to see how his relationship with “us” will develop since he's boyfriend material and a good good boy 😞
all my love for you and your work babe the new chapter is really fantastic !
since im already here im going to make a suggestion bc i love your work so- i would like to see you write a fic for jongho, yeosang or yunho some day! these three have very “misunderstood” personalities in the fandom and i think you would catch their mannerisms and characteristic very well. it would be so fun see you write something for hwa too (i think you can tell that im obsessed with your hwa 😭💀) so... yea yea u got it!
it's not a request tho! feel free to write whenever you feel like it~ just letting you know that i'll be your biggest fan and supporter for all your stories (even the ones where you write heart breaking gut clenching eyes tearing loud sobbing angst fics that will probably destroy my life 🙄)
AGAIN LOVE YOU AND YOU WORK <333333
STOPP i love you thank you so much for this 😭🫶🏻 i keep rereading this ask cuz it makes my whole entire day. also omg do i have some news for you !! i actually have been thinking about working on another piece for yunho or seonghwa, i wasn't too sure at first but seeing you want one makes me have the motivation to write it now HEHEHEHE.
AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH :(( MWAH

OUAT Thoughts Pt.65--Episodes 1-2
I have watched through S7E2; spoilers DNI. Also, spoiler warning for anyone further behind than I am.
—I know I started this with a salty attitude, but I’m already invested. First episode didn’t do it for me, but goshdarnit if episode 2 didn’t just get me. Still a bit shady going forward, but I’m checking it.
—Alice’s lil mushroom shirt is cute. Of course, mushroom shirts are among the most sapphic of things, so I’m legally obligated to like it.
—Her glowing-mushroom cave is fun, too.
—Other Hook having his daughter’s rook while she has his knight is sad-cute. I might be willing to place some money (not much) on Alice being his daughter? Mostly because she’s s u s and because chess is very Wonderland. Also, that Hook is a bit older, so the vengeful witch who locked up his daughter could be Cora.
—Hunny, I cannot stand Rumple’s outfit. And I don’t even know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. He’s supposed to B styling in either a suit or some leather, but he’s gone full Texas tuxedo. On the other hand, he do be cuffing those jeans a bit, so….even wash. (Also, the shaggy hair is really top-tier.)
—I feel much better knowing that other Hook is the one in Hyperion Heights. He’s still sad, but at least CaptainSwan are together in Storybrooke.
—Also, Hook and Emma expecting a baby? YES!
—It amuses me to no end that Hook’s last name in Hyperion Heights is Rogers.
—Rumple looking for a moral compass in a partner is v swaggy. I was expecting the writers to put their heads up their asses and write him as a villain, and even if he seems a little dubious anyway, at least he seems to be a pretty chill dude.
—Mmmkay, so why do he and Alice know each other? And does he actually know her, or does the Rumple from the wish-world know her? Is that even our Rumple?
—Henry inviting his mom to come on his adventure in Cinderella world is nice. And I adore him for not acting like he’s too grown to use one of his Operation codenames.
—I think maybe these two episodes, especially the first one, have been trying too hard to recapture the spirit of the early first season. Is it interesting to see the story repeat with Henry? Ngl, I do enjoy a decent cyclical narrative. But it’s kinda copy-and-paste for my tastes, although I do have faith that it will improve with time. The potential almost makes me disappointed there’s only one season of this.
—Gee, there’s a lady who can cook and makes frog references? Wonder who that might be.
—I’m also not sure how much I like that we’re basically exploring the concept of a multiverse. I hate most multiverses. It makes stuff overcomplicated. However, I will concede that the idea of seeing how different choices make the same people different is cool, and I have liked the alternate realities we’ve visited. But this is different, because Cinderella is an *entirely* different person, yk, different actor and all that rubbish, so it’s not quite the same.
—I’m also not sure I like the way she’s been characterized. Cynical princesses aren’t really my thing. Hope is the inborn magic that draws me to Disney princesses. A lot of their lives low-key, maybe high-key, suck, and if they can be hopeful than so can I. I can deal with a lot of personality traits, such as the difference in Cinderella’s enduring kindness and Merida’s brash recklessness, but hope is something I think those ladies need. Having a cynical Cinderella doesn’t hit the sweet spot for me.
—Do they really expect me to take that bland-ass boring old dry toast biddy seriously? *old person voice* Back in my day, the evil ruler of a cursed town was the one, the only, the stunning, the inimitable, the QUEEN Regina Mills! Tremaine don’t got nothing on my girl.
—Henry’s clothes in the Cinderella world are very Charming-esque.
—I think they cast adult Henry pretty well. It’s nowhere near the caliber of young Snow White, but let’s be real reaching that bar is impossible. His voice is the best, and every now and then he gets an expression that looks very much like Henry.
—Kinda gives me mental vertigo when I think about how much time has passed in the show since the finale of season 6, or since the beginning of the show. Henry’s a full-grown man with a wife and a daughter now. It’s gotta be at least fifteen, maybe twenty, years since the first time we saw him. *sniff* they grow up so fast!

[looks at u with an unblinking tbh creature esque gaze] O_O hello do u have ur vocaloid headcanons anywhere? ur big al art has been rotating at the back of my mind + im very curious abt ur al + gakupo hcs!! id appreciate hearing anything youd like to share tho :) if ur out of the fandom and dont feel like sharing thats ok too, and i hope u have a wonderful day either way !
HELLO! Thank u sm for the ask… I am still in the vocaloid fandom I just primarily post in private and not on tumblr ;___; and I’m sorry for getting to u literally a week late the rhing is I had like written up a very comprehensive post on Al’s backstory but I was like. Oh this is too long. And boring for anyone else SO I SCRAPPED IT!
I put Al Gaku and Megu (Gumi) into a lot of AUs bc it’s super fun! but my main original one is where Al is a resurrected Frankenstein creature and Gaku is an Android
Basically Al used to be married to Ann in the early 1900s and Ann was a lounge singer that caught the attention of some bad ppl and their house ended up burning down via arson, their daughter got out alive but Al and Ann both succumbed to burn wounds. Their daughter grew up investing her time in human experimentation and recreated the bodies of her parents with other people’s parts to the heat of her memory and used the brains from their previous bodies to put into the new minimally damaged ones. Ann was resurrected successfully with an original Frankenstein’s monster type deal but people caught win of the daughter’s experiments given her track record and her house was stormed, Ann had to try and resurrect Al herself hurriedly while her daughter stalled and she was successful but their daughter was killed at the doorstep and the couple fled.
Al because of the quickened process ended up with amnesia, not remembering his marriage to Ann or their daughter while Ann remembered it all and was still in love with him. Al was not the same as the man she married now, Alexander was dead and he was a new person all together but Ann couldn’t face this for awhile and told Al about their life together but this only inspired guilty in both of them. In modern times they’re separated but on good terms, Al’s story is about….. like….. finding himself? Discovering life is worth living and ultimately all of my stories about Gaku Al and Megu are about family.
GAKUPO…. ok exposition in my universe vocaloid is a sort of tournament held in Japan for singers across universes and Gakupo is an Android from a technologically advanced universe. He was created to be in a museum as a recreation of Feudal Japan and he was implanted with memories of a wife and children and life he never even had, he was made to believe he was a reincarnated samurai as a social experiment not realizing all his precious memories and experiences were fabricated. Upon discovering this he killed all the people in the museum and fled becoming a feared sort of urban legend thing… his story is about also about finding himself! He believes at first he’s unable to care for living beings due to his memories being fake but eventually he realizes he’s in love with Al and desires to create new meaningful experiences with him, Al shares the same sentiment. It’s really abt family and love and stuff… yknow finding the person you want to spend ur life with…. People from unfortunate circumstances being able to live normally :)
Megu is a difficult circumstance and I haven’t found a way to exactly incorporate her into the main universe but I have a verse where all vocaloids are androids and Megu is a Gumi unit that came out a little wrong and unlike other androids doesn’t mature mentally and is perpetually stuck at the 15 year old mark, Al takes her in because she has nowhere to go and he’s admittedly lonely after being separated from his Ann unit and they play house… become a family :’)) androids in this universe obv don’t have moms or dads and they don’t come in family units but Megu regards Al as her father and Al regards Megu as his daughter! Gaku is introduced later and like it’s a sort of goofy trying to get along with my boyfriend’s daughter type deal…. 🫶🫶 Megu does performances and is really popular as a show unit but she needs Al to be backstage with her for every show bc she gets nervous, he holds her hand right before performances as a sort of “you’re alright, I’ll be here, I got you”
So yeah!!! That’s stuff!!! I have a lot more emmm but that’s too long like I said, ik you didn’t ask abt Megu bits it’s like oh… family… cannot separate
Here’s Megu/Hachiko’s ref I implemented them into ricedeity’s nsotf univ too so that’s in some notes… o_o again ty for asking!!! seeing ur ask for me to redraw my Gaku as well haha

Crush/reader oneshots Chapter 7: F/F; needy
Summary:
You are at home with your girlfriend, and want some attention ;)
Warning!NSFW kinda lemon mostly lime.
(Clarification this is a lesbian female x female fic) Also ik she’s ur girlfriend here but imma still say c/n cause it’s a habit now ;-;
You and c/n are at home, she is watching her favourite tv show [insert random show here] and she was invested. You were both on your shared bed together chilling. You were casually on your phone watching YouTube. You were bored.
C/n hadn’t said a word to you, she was so focused on her show. To be fair it was really dramatic and it’s her favourite. Being honest you were feeling quite horny. You craved her.
Out of instinct your tuned off your phone, and sat on her lap, facing her. She didn’t flinch kept watching her show. Your head was on her shoulder and your arms wrapped around her waist, your legs on either side of her. You were satisfied at this amount of contact for the moment.
As you got more comfy, her arms rested down, supporting your ass. She continued to watch her show, you needed more. You began to hump her thigh, you thrust up and down, your clit being pressed against her juicy thighs.
“You really can’t wait can you?” She smirked, knowing you were getting off on so little of her.
You nodded, as you continued thrusting. You let out a moan as she squeezed your ass. She was still watching her show, while you got off on her thigh, if she was too busy you had to compromise. Plus she loved seeing you like this.
C/n had to admit she was getting quite aroused seeing you like this. She flexed her thigh muscle, raising it up into your pussy, this caused you to moan out as it his your clit.
This sensation was so arousing, your hands were tangled in c/n’s hair and you were placing light kisses against her neck. She was very aroused, and as you kissed the sensitive spot on her neck, she moaned loudly.
This sent you over the edge, you came, your wetness spilling onto her thigh. You moan out as your vision blurs, she flips you onto your back, removing her clothes she puts your legs on her shoulders.
She starts licking at your raw pussy and this feeling is extremely effective, although you just came you can feel yourself building up again, soon you flip her onto her back and start giving her the same treatment. Once she is screaming moans, you straddle her. You bouncy up and down, both your legs spread apart. Your clits rub together. Once you feel her cum you lick it all up, the to get you to cum again she inserts to fingers into you pussy, and starts thrusting in and out, this sends you over the edge, you cum again.
Once you both finish you lay on you backs, out of breath.
“Sorry I interrupted your show.” You says out of breath
“This was SO~ much better than my show!” She replies.
A/n notes: My bi ass had to write a f/f fic of course, if u ain’t bi or lesbian just skip this, I’ll be doing mostly f/m but a couple f/f fics to satisfy my other side. Might even make a f/f fluff work, (seperate) idk? But Yh damn I made three stories today I’m so proud, I might even make another idk! Thank you so much for 600 reads this is more than I have ever imagined!!! Love y’all I’ll be posting more soon so keep checking <3
(This is a reupload go check out my ao3 account for all my latest fictions)
