in-flight entertainment
Pairing: Yoongi x reader (f implied)
Genre: fluffy fluff
Warnings: reader gets drunk in an airplane. mentions of vomit.
Wordcount: <1k
Summary: Maybe the fourth mini-bottle of tequila was a little bit too much. Good thing this stranger's got a very enticing and comfortable shoulder to sleep on for the rest of the flight.
AN: infinite thanks to @miscelunaaa . Written for the talented, kind, hilarious, and always extraordinary @augustbutwinter on our possumversary. Here’s to many more screeches from the dumpster!
The goddamn seatbelt light is on again.
Not that it matters. Even if you wanted to get up, it would involve waking up the snoring grandpa on your right, watching him clack his dentures around and shuffle to his feet, groaning as he makes his way out to the aisle for you to get by.
You’d have to be pretty desperate, anyway. Thirty-eight minutes into a five-hour flight is not the time to break the seal. Pretty desperate, indeed.
The light dings back off and you hit the button to call a flight attendant.
It had been different when you said yes to your best friend and agreed to be her maid of honor. It had been a time of joy, of excitement. You hadn’t spoken it outloud, but you’d had a secret hope that you’d be the one to catch the bouquet, that your boyfriend would propose on the spot, and that you’d get to show off a shiny new rock on your wedding-manicured hand.
Ex-boyfriend, you remind yourself bitterly. He’d broken it off well before the wedding, packing up his bags and going to stay with a friend. Sidepiece. Whatever. Whisky helps. So does rum. Tequila helps most of all, so that’s what you order when the flight attendant comes over. Tequila and orange juice. Two bottles. The first is gone by the time she makes it down the aisle for a trash sweep, so you order a third and fourth. No orange juice.
One hour and sixteen minutes down, and the wedding is still an ocean away.
The man on your left, between you and the window, pulls his phone out of the pocket of his hoodie and changes the song. You can hear it through his AirPods, over the roar of the engine. You can’t tell what song it is but it seems awfully hype for the expression on his face, slack and relaxed.
You ruefully think that you’d be relaxed too if you didn’t have this horror-show of a wedding to deal with. You’d be like Mr Hype Guy, all chill in his comfy hoodie, listening to his tunes without a care in the world. He probably doesn’t need a shot of tequila to get through the flight without crying.
He’s probably not thinking about how much it’s going to suck—having to put on a happy face and dance in your ugly lavender dress with some stranger in a tux and watch your best friend marry the man of her dreams.
You crack open mini-bottle number four and down its contents.
Mr Hot Guy glances over at you, then back out the window.
Lucky fuck. He’s probably one of those nice guys—like the future Mr BFF—one of those guys who meets his perfect woman and hangs on for dear life, knowing how fucking goddamn lucky he is. Knowing how precious a thing like true love is. How fleeting. How—
His hoodie is soft against your cheek. It smells nice. Like fabric softener and cedar.
Against—
You sit up with a start and wipe the drool off your cheek. There’s a wet patch on his shoulder and it’s from your mouth, which doesn’t make any sense because your mouth is dry as cotton now.
He shifts in his seat.
“Feeling better?” He asks.
“Oh god,” you groan. “I am so sorry. Here—” You try to blot at the wet patch on his shoulder with the tiny napkins that came with your first drink.
He takes them from you. “It’ll dry. Trust me, this thing’s seen worse. Let me tell you about the time I thought I lost it. Which, sad. And then I went back to the same pub and it was still stuffed in the booth a week later. So now I know my favorite pub doesn’t clean anything worth a damn and I can never eat there again.”
The contents of your stomach give a nasty churn.
“And this other time,” he continues, “this one time my best friend used it to clean up when he was watching his girlfriend’s dog. That dog got into a full-sized ham. Ate the whole thing. Barf everywhere. And this dumbass — what does he do? Well, he doesn’t want to use his girl’s nice towels to clean it up. So he grabs my sweatshirt out of his car and uses that. She never knew a thing.”
Another churn has you vaulting over the sleeping grandpa and into the aisle, dashing to the bathroom to empty the contents of your stomach into the miniature toilet just as the fasten seatbelt light comes on again and the pilot announces the beginning of your descent.
You see him again at the rehearsal. He winks at you, pats his shoulder teasingly. Stands opposite you, hands over the ring. He holds out your chair for you at the rehearsal dinner and whispers in your ear.
Staying at the same hotel, it’s easy to make excuses to follow him back to his room, to watch him strip off that cozy hoodie. To let him take you in his arms and into his bed.
The next day, decked out in your lavender abomination dress, dancing with him doesn’t seem like a chore at all. He looks damn good in a tux, after all. Even better than he did in a dubious hoodie, which should have been impossible.
At the end of the night, he kisses you before he raises his glass to toast the happy couple. “Let me tell you how I knew she was the one for him: As you probably know, they have a dog...”

Jersey Shore S1
Tumblr media
Episode 2: "The Tanned Triangle"
Characters introduced: Ron Ron Juice
The episode opens with Snooki on the phone with her parents and they all agree she should come home.
Mike is still laying the moves on Sammi heavily; made her breakfast and he's calling his her work partner. Sammi is EATING IT UP - she shows her poor taste from the beginning.
It's the first day at work and "Jolie" is absolutely over it and says it beneath her, despite signing up for this.
Sammi gives Snooki a pep talk but she's throwing shots the whole time, so I'm not sure if it really had the desires effect. Either way, Snooki is emotionally drained by not being the center of attention 😂 Seriously?
I was wrong. It worked! Snooki is going to stay. After that, Sammi and Mike go to work in basically matching outifts - both wearing black tank tops. Of course the confessionals are about how well they vibe...
JWoww and Angelina's boyfriends are worried that the two girls will cheat but they both say they have something good with their boyfriends....we'll see.
As expected, a few hours later while they're out; JWoww is all over Pauly and Angelina is all over random guys buying her drinks. Back at the house, JWoww and Pauly are making out in bed and we discover that his penis is PIERCED.
Tumblr media
Sammi is asking who else in the house likes her and Mike takes this opportunity to start trashing him - and he openly admits it. The beginning of his villain arc is already here!
Fortunately, Sammi is aware that she needs to be careful with this situation. While these two are gossiping on the roof, Snooki brings her pick of the night up there. While she's trying to make a move, the guy is unsuccessfully trying to hook up.
Then she claims they weren't ever going to hook up...okay girl.
The next day, Angelina doesn't remember cheating and Vinny has pink eye - supposedly from burying his face in an older woman's behind as they danced. Yeah...I don't know.
Second night out:
The Ron Ron Juice makes its debut and Mike is very confident that Sam wants to hook up with him. He also says he has it and Ron doesn't. To his credit, when he does kiss Sam, she happily reciprocates it - just gross.
Pauly and JWoww are once again playing their game of will they or won't they. For some reason, when they share a kiss, she blocks their faces with her hands. She then leaves because she doesn't want to cheat on her boyfriend...which is about 2 mins too late.
Sam then makes a move on Ron, fracturing Mike's very fragile ego. He confronts Sam but she's unphased because she's single- of course, Mike is now playing it that he's shut it down with her. Obviously, Mike then picks a fight with a random because he can't regulate his emotions and it ends with Pauly hitting someone and getting kicked out.
NOW, he's convinced Angelina is into him but she's definitely being a raging b*tch to innocent bystanders.
Notable Quote:
"I think this job is beneath me, you know? I'm a bartender, I do great things." - Angelina
"I'm the princess of fucking Poughkeepsie." - Snooki
"I don't give a f*ck if you fat, ugly or old. I'll dance with you. It's hilarious!" - Vinny
"I guess I technically cheated on my boyfriend." - JWoww

Barbie. Dir Greta Gerwig. 2023
Barbieland contains all the child-like fun and vibrancy of Barbie but meets the uncertainty and uncomfortableness of the Real World. Told from the perspective of a women, this accessible film discusses misogyny, humanity, toxic masculinity and identity through the brilliance and sparkle of the world of Barbie.
The film follows Barbie (Margot Robbie) as she goes on a quest to save herself from becoming anything less than perfect, after her human (an intelligent mother who used to play with this Barbie) starts to affect this doll with her existential anxiety.
The film could’ve easily lost any of its feeling as the aesthetics are off-the-chart pink, fantastical and almost dream-like. Musical dance numbers are placed throughout the film, which bring excitement and energy but could’ve also added to the film’s shallowness and lack of immersion. However, this did not happen. Yes, the movie is set in an outlandish space, which on a surface level we have no relation to at all but the themes explored in the film are arguably universal human feelings, which give the movie its heart. I also found it hilarious at some points.
One of these themes is identity. I feel like most people (especially in an era where we are swarmed by social medias, which often makes us feel inadequate and ugly) can relate to the feeling of tying our identities to a specific part of ourselves in order to be loved or liked or respected. Obviously, the film focuses more on Barbie so we mostly experience what it’s like to be a women and live in a world where our appearances are forced to be our identity. Women are told through media and men that how we look defines how successful we are, how respectable we are and how lovable we are. It’s sad and Barbie does such a good job at expressing this complex feeling most women are tuned into and also providing an entertaining and optimistic film to watch.
Now, Ken (Ryan Gosling) is also allowed his share of exploration and emotion. He too ties his identity to a specific superficiality. The attention he gets from Barbie. He exerts himself doing stupid things (such as incessantly flexing his muscles) because he thinks that if Barbie likes him, and he is a strong, masculine man then he has won life. This should be his aim. The film educates Ken as we lead up to a climactic moment where he realises that what makes him his own man isn’t the love of a woman or his beach body abs but something else. We learn from Barbie that Ken needs to find his own identity and it is something that is done alone. It is an emotional moment as (for me at least) we resonated with both the dolls deeply. I’ve felt rejected and ugly and I have based my importance and value as a human on my appearance and how men view me but now I know that the essence of humanity isn’t a measurable unit appertaining to the way others view you, but what we value and what we feel and what we choose to do with our lives.
Barbie learns that she doesn’t want or benefit from perfection but she wants to be imaginative and help young people who also feel confused about their identity and confused about their place in the world. Together, we go on a journey which essentially takes us from our learned, cultivated belief that who we are is in the hands of others to the more truthful and peaceful belief that we decide who we are and what we want to be and we shouldn’t be persuaded to feel powerless, pointless and valueless due to our appearance.
It’s funny, energetic and emotionally impactful (with the iconic moment where Barbie meets the brand’s creator - Ruth Handler - in a sentimental and moving scene. The background has cascading, soft lighting and a close up of the pairs’ hands touching is used to add such significance to the dialogue and such heart to the scene).
I think Greta Gerwig created a film where I can enjoy it and also go through a cathartic experience as my deepest anxieties and upsets about the world are portrayed and validated. And I still felt happy rather than worried or cynical when it was over so I love this film.

This is Seungmin!
Tumblr media
His full name is Kim Seungmin and he was born in South Korea on September 22, 2000. When he was a kid, he spent a couple months in the U.S. and is moderately fluent in English, arguably probably on pretty much the same level as Han.
Video compilation of Seungmin speaking English! (it’s an older video, so his English has improved even more since this was made)
Tumblr media
Seungmin is part of Vocalracha, a sub-unit within the group, and is mainly just a vocalist and an extremely skilled one at that, but he’s also pretty good at dancing and isn’t even that bad of a rapper (although it’s not something he’s ever officially done, that I can tell, just as jokes or as a replacement, etc)
Songs I personally love him in: His cover of ‘Love Poem’ that he did with the Mayfly Unit on Kingdom (my personal favorite); Waiting for Us; Gone Away; a song he did for the Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha OST, ‘Here Always’; the entire video he did with Lee Mujin; he’s also done multiple covers on their Youtube channel, most recently a cover of ‘Ghost’ by Justin Bieber, I highly recommend all of them! (My 2nd personal favorite after ‘Love Poem’ is definitely ‘Congratulations’, a Day6 cover that he did with Han!)
*Kind of a disclaimer: Some might notice there’s not a ton of strictly Stray Kids songs recommended up there. That wasn’t intentional. I was mostly just trying to go for songs that really showcase his vocals, that I personally love. He definitely shines in the group, for sure, but, like a lot of the members, he rarely gets more than a few lines in each song. Since he has so many covers/others songs out there, I figured those would be a better choice to show off how great his voice is)
I’m not necessarily going to recommend any rap, because he barely does it (one or two songs, I think, at best. And for fun, outside of official performances) or dance, because while I do think he’s a skilled dancer, it’s not his strongest area. However, I do have some fancams of his on his playlist, if you want to check his dancing out!
Tumblr media
Many of the members consider Seungmin to be the funniest member in the group and it’s understandable why that is. He has a lot of underrated funny moments and many fans consider him to be part of ‘savageracha’, which is just the three more savage members of Stray Kids: Lee Know, Seungmin, and I.N. I honestly thought he was like, the quiet, shy one when I first started getting into them, but he’s mostly just chill and seems to not take life too seriously, while also be a very hard worker and very professional at what he does.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Random fun fact: He has this little thing he does where he’ll poke out the eyes on any stuffed animal in his vicinity, or possibly even his members. He’s always ready to fight somebody, and it’s hilarious.
Tumblr media
Something I don’t think gets talked about enough is that Seungmin has a really big heart, despite coming pretty chill most of the time. He clearly loves the other members in his own way, and has been very open about how much the fans mean to him (as have the other members, honestly). (Also, if you watch the 2 Kids Room series, multiple members mention how Seungmin was there for them, knowing just how to act to comfort them in someway or help them. Changbin admits that Seungmin helps him get his head on straight, both Chan and Hyunjin mention something along these lines, he’s a source of comfort for many of the members, and I love that.)
Tumblr media
Seungmin currently has braces, but he tends to cover up his smile a lot (I read somewhere, and I’m not sure how true this is, that he covers it up more now because people were saying his smile was ugly. I really hope that’s not true, because he has the most beautiful smile!)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Both the other members and fans alike constantly refer to Seungmin as a puppy, because of how excited and playful he can be and how adorable he is. It’s why his SKZOO animal is a puppy named PuppyM!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think that’s all the main points of Seungmin. I definitely think that him and I.N. tend to be a bit underrated among some fans (not all, a lot of the fans I follow on social media tend to love all the members). But they’re both great in their own ways. I’ll talk about I.N. in my next post!
Seungmin’s playlist!
Bonus pics of Seungmin!

bl / gl tag game
I was tagged by @icouldhyperfixatehim in probably Feb/Mar but I literally just had not watched enough bl/gls to actually do this. Then got tagged again by @talays-portkey recently (it is no longer recently, this has been in my drafts, 98% done for a month??) and was like ohhh I can probably do this now!
your all time favourite bl character and why
I'm gonna say Pat and Pran both bc bb is SO dear to my heart and I feel like they are a good representation of "opposites attract" bc they handle things/think differently a lot but are so similar it works.
what's your one character from a bl you wanted to punt into the stratosphere ( you only get one so choose wisely )
Honestly none? If there has been any show where I've really disliked the leads then I've probably given up watching, as for side characters I'm willing to forgive a lot in fiction that I probably wouldn't IRL. Also shitty people give the story more drama and I do live for the drama. One thing that I do find bizarre and I struggle with are characters who ship other characters in the show and will tell them, or post about them on social media... it's just something I would feel weird about if it happened to me (and I can't imagine that happening realistically as someone who grew up in Ireland in the 2000's.)
the best music moment from a bl
Ok ok, living for bb and the rooftop kiss but the very specific moment when Pat is telling Pran all the things he liked when Pran was gone (I didn't need to compete, or be paranoid, or know what your GPA was etc) and Pran is clearly upset about it and then he says "but it was so depressingly lonely for me" and Pran looks back at him and it's the moment where everything starts to change and just as Pran looks back into Pat's eyes with hope for the first time there's a little 4 note drum roll (@10:14) and it just perfectly encapsulates that feeling of anticipation when your heart skips a beat, I just [muffled screams into a pillow]. Also the Not Me industrial sounding background music. It was so different for a bl but works perfectly with the aesthetic and the feeling of the show. Same with Heartstopper, great soundtrack, perfect vibes for the show. Also the intro song for The Eclipse, I really love it too!
what's a popular heterosexual text that you would like to see adapted into a bl / gl ?
Looove a cheesy romcom so maybe a GL 10 Things I Hate About You, or maybe one day my dream of seeing A Cinderella Story with Austin Ames realising she's a trans girl will come true!!! Or the lesbian 13 Going On 30 where she goes to the future to realise she's in love with her best friend (a girl, sorry Mark Ruffalo) and realises she's gay and maybe that's why people picked on her at 13 bc they all knew she was ✨️different✨️ and she goes back and is like "i know being gay is scary rn but it actually does get better and I've seen it!!". Coyote Ugly!! The Prince and Me!!!! Gimme lesbian romcoms I beg!!! Most of these gave off wlw vibes anyway, making them gay now would just be righting the world.
a scene from a bl that always makes you laugh ?
We Best Love where they almost get caught on the couch and Shuyi introduces himself overly formally and Shide just laughs at him and Shuyi gives him the 👀🤨 (gif)
Tumblr media
Also, that moment in Semantic Error after Jaeyoung gets asked to work on Sangwoo's project and he's in slow-mo dancing down the stairs like "yeah, I'm gonna ruin this kid's life".
what two random bl/gl characters would make hilarious exes ?
Not hilarious but Namu from Not Me and Ink from Bad Buddy. They meet when Ink is taking scenery photos and sees Namu's graffiti and they get to talking and they have similar ideas and ideologies, Namu starts bringing Ink to protests and Ink brings her to some exhibitions etc etc they stay friends after bc wlw.. and then in the future the BB gang inkpa&patpran all start attending protests together. (Didn't P'Aof say patpran would definitely be joining those protests if they were in the same show? Like it all makes so much sense)
biggest disappointment ?
The way Not Me just sort of fell off in terms of storyline in the second half. Its only a disappointment bc those first episodes were incredible and the show deserved better.
who would be the funniest person to watch a bl in its entirety and which one would you make them watch .
Tankhun, and seeing as we've seen his reactions to steamy scenes and action or horror shows I feel like we should watch Manner of Death? I haven't seen it yet but I've heard it's steamy and mafia based so he could pick apart the mafia stuff and go wild at the smut.
best wardrobe moment / or character wardrobe from a bl
Shuyi's emo boy wardrobe from season 1 of We Best Love.
Wei Wuxian's emo boy wardrobe but make it historical.
Ink's lesbian art teacher vibes from Bad Buddy. (Extra shout out to Pat's ep 12 teal shirt and Pran's jumpers)
Tagging: @wkxs @talaypuens @wahgifs @snimeat @surajmukhis no pressure if you don't have time or energy! 🥰🥰

We know kishi messed up a lot during the war arc, but what do you think were the best and worst moments?
I think I can't able to answer this properly because most of the complaints from the Fandom were based on Power Scaling level and they were comparing it to DBZ.
Now.....
I've never read any Action Shonen other than Naruto... So, Personally as a neutral watcher... I have no problem in that power-scaling aspect... Or to be precise, I need the knowledge of other Shonen to compare and say what's wrong with Naruto.
Other than that, Kaguya nonsense is the absolute worst. Madara being the final Villain would've made it so enthralling... But since Boruto needed a plot thread, they introduced a villain with ugly design. Which is a given.
And some people say, Unnecessary flashbacks being introduced... Which I kinda agree. Like that flashback between Mifune and Hanzo is not at all needed... Kabuto's too.
And some people say, War needs Money and Man labour for Preparation, bla bla bla. Which is totally Hilarious, imo. Like Dude!!! Did Lord of the Rings or Avengers Infinity War had these kinda plots??? Didn't they just go to war without going into detail in any of these???
Why would they need these boring plot which has no relevance to Naruto anyway?? Fantasy Genre don't usually cover these aspects of war... If they want that, then they should go watch movies based on First and Second World war.
Other than that, rest of the complaints were based on their own Self-Projection or Prediction that didn't come true. Like hating Itachi + Sasuke arc because their UwU baby Sasuke got changed after listening to his Brother. Or Some people hate Tobito Reveal for genuine reasons.
So, I can't list out the worst things in War arc other than Kaguya plot.
As for the best things...
4. Madara - The Phenomena
Madara Toying with the Shinobi Alliance and The 5 Kages... 😂😂. [[Anime did a great job by adding these Amazing Jewel of a dance]]
Tumblr media
Is there anything to not like this part of War Arc??? ((Tsunade, I am so sorry for liking him Toying with you and everyone... You are the Exception though, You truly stood up to him like a true Hokage... But I simply can't stop admiring his Aura))
3. Itachi - Sasuke arc...
Ever since Kabuto revealed that he was going to use Edo-Tensei on Itachi... I expected he would meet Sasuke again... But also, I knew that, this time for sure Sasuke has to say Good Bye for a Final Time...
Tumblr media
Damn... I just couldn't. Poor Sasuke!!!
2. Tobito Reveal...
I was shell-shocked just like Kakashi. Because I got a mini-breakdown after Shippuden episode 120, an episode where Kid Obito died under the boulder saying, "I wish I could have more time with everyone"... I took a day off from my binge watch after this Flashback...
Tumblr media
[[My reaction after realising Obito was Tobi]]
To think that such a pure bean has turned into a mass murderer is like a salted stab on my already damaged mind. Just when I was healing my mental wound I got from Itachi-Sasuke arc.... This reveal and Obito's descent into darkness sent me to a Rock Bottom Pit....
Just stop it already!!! Damn Kishimoto. I can't take it!!
1. Founders' Era Arc...
An Absolute stunner..
A Mental Refresher... After Back to back stabs... This Arc was much needed for my sanity...
Ever since, Sasuke-Sai Arc... I kept on hearing on and on about First Hokage and Madara.... Even Madara was pronouncing Hashi's name like a Cockatoo... My curiousity level got higher and higher by every episode.
But boy!!! It did deliver to the hype we received throughout the series...
Tumblr media
I came into the series because of Hashirama and I ended up finding something which I wish it could've lasted longer...
Tumblr media
I don't even want to come out of that Arc ((Hey Oro, If there's one thing you did useful in this series, it's by resurrecting these Hokages)).
Tumblr media
Fun Fact : No one surpassed Madara in terms of his Power or Aura or Amount of Hair or Fame. Everyone became ugly, weak, bald and stupid.
I loved all these mini-arcs in the War Arc which absolved all the inconsistencies I saw towards the very end. Atleast this is what I felt as a neutral watcher with No Shounen Influence🤷🏻‍♀️

Hey Caro ☺️ I just took your super m quiz - thanks for making such a fun quiz, I feel like it helped me get into super m! I know nothing about them yet but I thought it fit soo well that I got Kai bc I’m a full time dancer - now you have me super curious about him 👀👀
KAI :: INTRODUCTION MASTERPOST (dance focus)
so you wanna know about the god of k-pop choreo? oh yeah, i’ll talk to you about fucking kai! if you dance, this guy is the #1 must-know. once you see him move, there’s no going back. i don’t exaggerate: kai is the gold standard. brace yourselves, i’ll show you why.
Tumblr media
kim kai aka kim jongin (27) is a solo artist and super m’s plus exo’s main dancer — est 2019 and 2012 respectively — heading either group with a passionate, hyper-physical style that roots in his early practice of of jazz dance and ballet. the influence definitely shows. 
Tumblr media
learning choreography, he’s become the gorgeous fusion of emotional grace and explosive power that unites both tension and extreme accuracy. while at the same time: never sacrificing his interpretation. and HOW MUCH HE BLEEDS FOR HIS CRAFT. he enjoys it so much. 
Tumblr media
and he’s communicating it 100%, jongin’s dance is so interactive and raw, luring. i swear to god, put the seatbelts on for this one. it’s never just him, it’s you as well. you’ve never seen this before. he’s like “yes, i meant you, i’m looking at you”:
Tumblr media
he’s even gonna modify the choreography to point right at you to underline that very thought. he’s so good, he can learn it, ace it, epitomize it, and do his own thing anyway. even the person in the last row will get whatever point kai wants to make. this is dance that belongs on the biggest stages.
Tumblr media
even when he films without a crowd, it’s like you’re literally standing opposite to him. he focuses on two people: his moves, and the viewer. he has it look like you made him smile and self-aware, or you made him determined. INCREDIBLE. he shows his charisma, BUT he also shows your own (!) impact on him. it’s a duet. he wants you to join him on the dancefloor. this is from exo’s call me baby mv where kai does his famous come-hither:
Tumblr media
he flirts and he encourages. he values the audience and wants them to be confident as well. i think it’s the reason why he’s so outstanding and addictive, kai thinks beyond himself. it’s a tango he involves you in with his eyes and how he opens his body, interprets a lyric.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
it’s not about imposing himself going one way. instead: he plays the back and forth ALL. THE. TIME. in any context. whether it be frivolous, or fun, or gloomy, or sweet. even with a simple little smiley wink it’s happening. and he acts like you had a reaction to it. there’s literally just a camera.
Tumblr media
this guy’s physique, strength, elegance, feeling for the beat, character portrayal (!), and control is unbelievable. he’s destroyed it in every fancam out there. he can’t switch it off even if he tried. your eyes would go toward him in the largest group formation still. put him in the center, that’s his spot, he showcases it.
Tumblr media
because he doesn’t just show learned moves, he makes it radiate something dynamic and animalistic (he embodies superm’s ‘tiger inside’ all the way). 
jongin’s dance says: i love this, you love this, let’s do this, the feeling is right. he makes bodies and unrestrained touch the opposite of wrong, he pronounces it a source of having fun and being instinctual. and he never breaks the tie with you throughout, and uses his shoulders and lips to put the oomph into it. 
Tumblr media
he uses innuendo and a ‘we both know’ sentiment perfectly as an invitation rather than just going through his routine. that’s how he can make each move fascinating. you can tell kai knows exactly how to make everyone scream their lungs out. i bet somebody held their breath just reading this post already.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
exo’s most famous choreo is ‘monster’ (kai focus linked) with good reason: jongin can turn himself into nothing short of a roaring beast. it’s one sharp, complex move after the other. kai can bend any gravitational law he wants to show any feeling and pose he wants. a glimpse:
Tumblr media
now, how to spot him in general if you’re new to him? here are some pointers. kai’s execution is clean, fast, and powerful. those are two decades (!) of experience showing. kai is an all or nothing dancer, he plays no games. he treats every group and solo stage like his best and last. his work ethic is beyond words. yeah, he’s a capricorn. his style is direct as can be, working every axis.
Tumblr media
as you can see, jongin is hard to overlook anyway: he’s a 182cm giant made of steel. he strives to acutely visualize impact in his style and it is always successful. in fact, it’s his signature. it’s like he creates invisible objects and pushes through them. boom, he just burst another bubble.
Tumblr media
when the song gets to his part, i guarantee you won’t miss him and all the boldness and expression he brings to enrich the performance. hell... he carries it. jongin can handle the center, i’m telling you. (look how fast he rotates here)
Tumblr media
talking features — this is what to look for when he dances in a group setting: you can recognize kai’s face by how wide, bluntly structured and sensual it is. jongin is a sight. he has such an aura, serious, sultry, and smiling alike.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
with a very recognizable silhouette (like... holy hell!):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
he’s very cute as well ♡ the fandom and kai himself have an adorable analogy going on. jongin calls himself a teddy/nini bear and we joined in on it. (i made a thread about it here, it talks more about his offstage life) — hence kai’s fans are called eri-gom, eris as in exo’s fanbase and gom meaning bear. 
Tumblr media
and i mean. look at him. what an attractive guy. he’s that handsome. strong brows, teddy eyes, square jaw, swept hair, glorious lips, tan skin. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
now yes, something important concerning his appearance and a serious topic: i don’t want to list you the endless instances of colorism that kai has to endure but it has to be mentioned. jongin has been called every name in the book and people agonize him over his skin incessantly. it goes on and on and on. every day a new terrible comment about him emerges because some pitiful person thought it was funny and would elevate them. 
he’s had to deflect, ignore, reframe, defend, remotivate, assert, harden, prove, denounce, and push himself, protect his confidence, decline skin bleaching constantly, laugh along, dance and practice thrice as hard to get the respect, and still see his dignity torn to pieces all day. i’ll just give it to you straight, that’s all fucked up. kai’s skin is perfect, he’s amazing and wonderful. 
Tumblr media
in his own words:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
— exactly right. say it even louder.
having him at the bottom of every joke is weird and messed up. this man is an utter beauty and nothing has to be fixed. it is up to him to define himself rather than get called ugly for his skin’s appearance by default, and get whitewashed at every opportunity. it’s been going on for 27 years, he scrunitizes himself all the time and doesn’t look at himself fondly because he hears these beatdowns daily.
Tumblr media
it’s heartbreaking that this happens literally with no end in sight (’kai is just a stripper!’... ‘he has bad vibes’... ‘darkest guy jongin!’). for his skin, and how he decides to show it, too. jesus christ his skin looks fantastic, end of debate. they just can’t handle him, kai couldn’t be any more immaculate.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
jongin has vigorously protected fans from discrimination, bullies, and shaming himself whenever it came up. in a very straightforward and deadpan manner because he knows exactly how it damages you. (”J” in the subtitles = jongin, he’s wearing the plain white top at the very back)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
we need to protect and praise him that way right back. it’s important.
so, needless to say. all in for jongin getting the center stage he deserves. because he has the wow factor in every regard. kai usually opens an MV because there’s no better way to get people’s attention with that level of presence. with kai, you can’t go wrong. if you get the center in a an all star group like superm, you are the king.
Tumblr media
being part of that presence, kai’s stage alter ego has reached levels of infamity you can’t even imagine. it’s great to see him being sovereign without apology.
Tumblr media
and it doesn’t stop there. he shows time and again that acting, props, and commanding the audience has to be mastered to be an exceptional dancer. kai owns his sex appeal. sometimes, he even dances a portion of choreo with his eyes closed because he’s feeling it so much.
Tumblr media
he is a pro in using his surroundings as well, superm’s stages are a glorious opportunity for kai to show how he comfortably ‘lives in’ the 3D space around him.
which makes the viewer do the same: watching kai makes you feel amazing, energized, but also serene and enjoying the moment. 
Tumblr media
there’s always balance. it’s the magic of it. e.g. he comes along with so much impetus and decisiveness but eventually, he halts to offer himself. here i am — take me. i’m yours. closed arms, open arms. walking, kneeling. looking down, looking up.
Tumblr media
kai goes every extra mile there ever was and makes each eye contact count. involving the audience, one grin at a time. it works. it’s about establishing contact. he connects to the onlooker with so much nuance. 
kai’s smirk is notorious and you can see why it’s so raw and real: he makes it linger. it’s such a duality since his dancing says i’ll come over, while his message is come and get me, i know what’s on your mind.
Tumblr media
with a hilarious twist – kai expertly uses humor. you don’t get that in many dancer repertoires. i love it. all those quick expression changes. his smile! 😊 what a man.
Tumblr media
so — what makes him so good and known: yes, his style doesn’t deny that dancing and eroticism are one in his business. that takes courage. kai has it. iconic performances have been his reward. point dance/killing part: exo’s love shot choreo. 
Tumblr media
that suit has swept the nation. what’s more: kai shows you it’s more than just good hip movement that a good dancer needs. he does everything at once, he puts the pleasure on his face, all his limbs are following the template he chooses.
the thing is. kai couldn’t be any shyer, but when the music starts he becomes a oscar-winning madman. he emotes constantly (!) and stays in character. this is gold.
Tumblr media
jongin always plays it up. he knows how to use that face and does a lot of power posing. this is how visceral looks like. he’s interpreted exo’s aggressive concepts to a T.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and he has so. much. fun. it propels him. on every beat.
Tumblr media
past every hurt, heartbreak and injury, man. if you know about his genre you knew this was coming, kai does all of that with 4 herniated discs. since debut days, never recovered. every gif in this thread, he dances with a battered spine. wheelchairs, stage collapses, relapse-recovery-schedule tales, the dilemma of injuries being inevitable, limping, kai falling into depression during breaks, constant pain killers, countless tears on stage, we’ve seen it all, the extreme end of it. 
kai works out like hell to literally keep his body from falling apart. but it doesn’t help the nerves in his back that are impacted. doing choreo you can sometimes literally see the pain kicking in and he pulls himself through with force for the last minute. once you know how strained his back is, you can see it.
at the end his expression goes fuck now it’s coming when the adrenaline fades. he takes every second-pause he gets to rest but still finishes each move. even when he holds back, he keeps it together and executes each turn. sometimes, he has to restrict himself and soften his movements to protect his health (especially in hard choreographies such as lucky one which is universally disliked by exo — still jongin makes the very best of it smiling bright and dancing so hard his sleeves come off).
he frequently states he ‘dances in any case unless his legs are affected by something’. all torso injuries are fair game, this guy is hardcore. and people claim he’s just pretending. chen (a fellow exo member) says not a single part of jongin’s body is intact. he has paid every price to get this far to follow his love. he’ll step on stage with crutches. he works SO HARD.
Tumblr media
that being said: exo being called the official nation’s group, i say kai is the nation’s dancer. period. he has had his great moment at the korean olympics flawlessly dancing in a hanbok with traditional instruments and fulfilling his dream. 
Tumblr media
i love the tension and drama he can bring. he can also thrill with slow, vulnerable movements alike.
Tumblr media
kai’s is called a legend, he’s all that and even more. the facial expressions alone are feared by any kai stan because they hit home. 
Tumblr media
this guy is a sex icon and goes off like a gun, messing around was never kai’s incentive. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
while at the same time being incredibly nuanced and so, so descriptive with his movements.
Tumblr media
point dance: baby don’t cry. yep, kai has danced in water. must-watch.
Tumblr media
this man loves what he is doing. he said he wouldn’t regret to die on stage because dancing is his destiny. boy, it shows. this guy has found his purpose. he can tell any story he wants. he’s a complete artist.
Tumblr media
he’s perfectly portraying his incentive and he couldn’t look any more like a god on earth.
Tumblr media
long story short, kai is dance and motivation goals. if you dance professionally, you can easily look toward him for the right words.
Tumblr media
if you want to further your study and knowledge: he released a self-titled solo album recently. highly recommended. he worked forever on it, and he’s really dishing it on there. you get to hear his soft voice plus sizzling footwork. and he isn’t even getting started yet. you’ll hear from kai, i promise. he constantly achieves new levels of artistic perfection.
Tumblr media
a last remark. jongin is amazing for a myriad of reasons that go beyond what i show you here given the post focuses on his work on stage. but the point stands, while other people have tried to break him, he broke through every barricade instead and stood up for himself. we can be extremely happy to have him and witnessing his unreal dance is an exceptional pleasure. here’s to jongin continuing his passion and confidence, healing, and getting the sweeping respect and acknowledgement that is his.

Sickness ~ Webpril Day 27
Tumblr media
A/N: Here's my fill for Day 27's sick!Peter prompt :) Peter starts coming down with something at school, and Aunt May isn't picking up the phone, and the school isn't letting him go home until somebody picks him up. I haven't read through this one before posting, so I hope it's alright and that you enjoy the bit of IronDad at the end x
~Read it on AO3
~Read it on FFN
Peter hadn’t gotten sick since he was bitten and became Spiderman. That left many questions unanswered for him, many of which were still left unresolved. One of which was whether or not he could even get sick anymore. Well much to Peter’s displeasure, he could in fact still get sick. And it sucked.
It had started off as a tickle in his throat that had started that morning when Peter woke up but didn’t notice until the end of second period. That’s when the incessant throat clearing started to try and get it to just go away but around lunchtime is when the first proper cough reared its ugly head. Ned decided it would be hilarious to crack a Raid joke, and all that ended up accomplishing was making Peter wonder whether or not bug repellent might be his undoing. Maybe he should start writing his will and ask Ned to get started on his eulogy.
The fun and games really ended when a particularly harsh bout of coughing made it impossible for Peter to catch his breath, and when he opened his eyes - he didn’t even remember shutting them - Ned had slid in beside him at the cafeteria table, eyes bleeding with concern.
“You sure you’re okay, man?”
“Yeah, I’m fi-” The soundness of Peter’s point rapidly diminished as he failed at fending off another round.
Before Peter could backpedal and tackle the monumental task of getting a few words out once more, the back of Ned’s hand met Peter’s forehead.
“Holy shit, dude, you’re really hot!”
“Thanks, but you know I’m after MJ, right?” Peter smirked. If insisting that he was fine wasn’t working, then deflecting with humour seemed to be a solid Plan B.
“Ha ha, very funny.” Ned haphazardly stacked their now empty lunch trays on top of one another and slid them to the end of the table, not bothering to check whether or not they’d fall off the other side. Swinging Peter’s backpack over his shoulder, Ned’s knees buckled in surprise a little bit at the weight. With some choice words that Peter would have laughed at had he been feeling less like a poorly preserved corpse, Ned gave him The Look. Nobody ever argued with The Look.
Peter allowed himself to be herded to the nurse’s office with minimal complaining, knowing that one single cough would botch his argument, especially now. What had started as an annoying tickle that felt like somebody was lightly touching a feather to the back of his throat had turned into what would happen if a deranged person had made a poison ivy salad with croutons made of sand and forced Peter to swallow it.
As soon as they arrived, Peter had a feeling he would be sent home within a matter of minutes. Call it a hunch.
After the thermometer beeped, the display read 102.1 F, and he heard the nurse tsk.
“Told you.”
Peter sent a half-hearted glare at Ned. On any other day, Peter would have been glad to go home early and take a few hours of the afternoon off for himself, but his next class was the one that had the partner project with MJ, and he’d been looking forward to it all week. Plus, it was Friday, so that meant he wouldn’t get to see her again until Monday. Just his luck.
“Do you have a second emergency contact, dear?” The nurse asked from her desk, scrolling through his file on the database. “I’ve tried calling your aunt, but she hasn’t been picking up.”
Peter was initially hit with a pang of anxiety that combined beautifully with his aching head and bones; that was a new development. Before he could catastrophise too much, he reminded himself that May was at F.E.A.S.T all afternoon setting up for the weekend’s big fundraiser. Either her phone was off, or she was incredibly busy, neither of which Peter blamed her for.
“Um, no, not really.”
The nurse frowned in response. “I can only keep you here until 3:10, and I don’t want to send you home alone.” She tapped her pen on the notepad to her right, attempting to brainstorm plans B through to Z.
“Wait, what about Tony Stark?” Ned blurted out. Upon seeing Peter’s indignant expression and the nurse’s blush and look of surprise, Ned quickly added, “From the...the Stark internship. I’m sure he’d love to help.”
“I’m sure we have other options than to call Mr Stark.”
“Calling Mr Stark.”
Oh God. Peter’s whole body tensed. Scrambling for his backpack that was sitting across from where he sat on the medical bed, just beside the chair adjacent to the door, he felt waves of panic crash over him, turning his skin to fire and ice. Or maybe that was just the fever. Damn his phone, damn the fact that he felt like he got run over by a truck, and he prayed to whatever force in the universe that Tony would not pick it up.
It was just Peter’s luck that the moment he had his phone grasped in his hands, that the ringing cut out and Tony’s voice filtered through.
“Hey kid, this better be good, I’m in the middle of a - thing.” Tony paused for a moment, and Peter jumped slightly and pulled the phone away from his ear as a loud clang rang over the speakers. Peter heard a mumbled “shit” over the line moments later.
“It’s nothing, I was just talking about the internship and then my phone picked up your name in the sentence and then it called y-”
“Peter’s sick!”
Ned cut in, yelling over Peter’s shoulder at the phone at the same time that Peter broke into another coughing fit.
The silence picked up where it left off, and only the faint clinks and the sound of shifting tools filled Peter’s ear. “Do you need to go home or something?”
Peter sighed and winced, backed into a metaphysical corner. He couldn’t really lie his way out of this. “Y-yeah, that’s the thing Mr Stark,” he swallowed as another few leaves of poison ivy dancing in his throat. “Aunt May isn’t picking up and they won’t let me go home unless I’m picked up…”
“So, I’m your second emergency contact.” It wasn’t a question, but Tony didn’t seem...anything. His tone sounded indifferent, but Peter couldn’t read him.
Another awkward silence. Peter hated the nurse’s and Ned’s eyes on him, waiting expectantly. Peter cleared his throat.
“It just so happens that I want pizza this afternoon. Happy’s just getting the car ready. Be ready outside, don’t really want to have to deal with staring kids and the,” Tony slammed a drawer shut, “fawning middle-aged teachers.”
“Thank you so much Mr Stark, I -”
“It’s fine, kid. Just don’t get me sick or I’ll put your suit up for auction.”

So apparently people didn’t like Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Oookay. 
I think it’s the only film adaptation worth watching. 
The books are hard to adapt. They can result in some of the creepiest things you will ever see. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLYehnHG9Lo
Turning it into something resembling an actual narrative, while also making the past adaptations of Alice visiting as a child true, is about the best you can hope for out of an Alice in Wonderland film. 
I was never big on the cartoon. I couldn’t stop watching the above version. Nightmare fuel. 
The books are great as books. As videos? I mean, good luck.
‘He made it dark and ugly.’ Film version Alice in Wonderland was always freaky af. Wtf are you on about? For real. Everyone and their mom getting beheaded.
Tumblr media
I haven’t seen the second one, so I can’t speak to that. But this version made me actually like Alice in Wonderland as a movie.
I love the Red Queen. I love the White Queen (probably my favorite Anne Hathaway performance, it’s freaking hilarious). I love the Hatter. I love Alice. I live for that Jabberwocky poem. About the only thing I didn’t like was the abrupt mood change for the dance at the end.
Also, as far as remaking a cartoon goes, it follows my prescription for a remake - don’t be an actual remake. Tell the story differently. Or, as in this case, continue it.
Far from being dark, I found it incredibly heartwarming. There’s real love between the characters, even feeling between the sisters, sympathy for the Red Queen herself. 
It’s Alice re-visiting the whimsy and creativity of her childhood one last time before transitioning into adulthood with courage, ready for adult adventures, but carrying the lessons of Wonderland with her. 
It’s perfect.

10 Documentary Series for the Wanderluster
If you’re sick of being stuck indoors and isolated from the rest of the world, you might find yourself binge watching travel documentaries just like me.
I’ve always loved traveling. I’ve been to a handful of places, but there’s so much more out there. These docu-series will make you want to get off your butt and hop on a plane ASAP. Of course, that’s not really an option in this pandemic, but these shows can offer a nice dose of escapism right in your living room.
These are just a few available to stream that I really loved. (Btw, most of these are about food. Because I love food.)
1. Somebody Feed Phil
Tumblr media
I love this show. Everybody Loves Raymond creator Phil Rosenthal travels to some of the most beautiful locations around the world to try the best foods. He meets with locals, expats, and world renown chefs who show him the best local dishes and their culture. Phil isn’t the best food critic. Most of his commentary consists of, “Mmm, that’s good!” But his cheery, friendly demeanor makes for easy watching as he casually befriends locals in every international city he visits. Oh, and the theme song is killer.
Watch it on: Netflix
2. Street Food: Asia & Latin America
Tumblr media
Get ready to be hungry! Made from the same people behind Chef’s Table, this series takes you to a different country in each episode. Street Food: Asia and Street Food: Latin America are actually listed separately on Netflix. But they are essentially two different seasons of the same show. You’ll meet local street chefs who’ve made their living cooking and selling their best comfort foods on the street. They share their stories of hardship, determination, sacrifice, joys, and successes. Each episode has close ups of every dish that will have you salivating.
Watch it on: Netflix
3. Gordon Ramsay: Uncharted
Tumblr media
Season One of this National Geographic series is currently available on Disney Plus. We see chef Gordon Ramsay travel to some remote locations, where he not only learns about their local ingredients, but has to forage and hunt them himself. At the end of each episode, we see him face off with a famous chef from each region. It’s beautifully shot with some really breathtaking views of these amazing landscapes. We see the vast Sacred Valley of Peru, majestic glaciers of New Zealand, and tropical blue waters of Hawaii. Now, if only Disney Plus would release the second season.
Watch it on: Disney Plus
4. Down to Earth with Zac Efron
Tumblr media
Down to Earth with Zac Efron is not just a feast for the eyes, but a series that will make you think. Zac Efron travels with his friend, Darin Olien, to learn about various methods of sustainable living. We learn about sustainable energy in Iceland, fresh water in France, and blue zone diets in Italy. They also take the time to explore and enjoy the best leisure activities and cuisine in each country.
Watch it on: Netflix
5. Conan Without Borders
Tumblr media
Conan Without Borders is a segment of his talk show that is now available on Netflix (but only the first season). Of course, you can still watch more on YouTube, but those videos are cut into shorter segments. Conan’s buffoonery is put to good use as he travels to learn about other people and their countries. His shtick is the clueless, ignorant American abroad. It’s an honesty that’s rewarding, as he shows these countries in a light few Americans get to see. He’s hilarious in each episode as he accidentally (or not so accidentally) offends, but also learns from the locals in each country.
Watch it on: Netflix, YouTube
6. Travel Man: 48 Hours In...
Tumblr media
Travel Man has had 10 seasons, and 7 (ish) of them are on Hulu. It’s a recent discovery for me, so I’m still making my way through the episodes. Richard Ayoade travels to a different city with a different celebrity for 48 hours. They do a lot of the typical things the average tourist would do. It features transportation, checking into a hotel (usually on the higher end), seeing the sites, and exploring different foods. Most of the celebrities who join him are British, so I’m not too familiar with them. It probably works better if you know who they are, but it doesn’t matter. Richard Ayoade’s dry humor makes each trip amusing regardless.
Watch it on: Hulu
7. Jack Whitehall: Travels with My Father
Tumblr media
British comedian Jack Whitehall takes a belated gap year trip with his 70-something year old father. The stark contrast between their personalities make for a very interesting vacation. We go on a real ride with the two as we get to know them and as they grow from the experience. Jack is full of energy and definitely more open minded of the two, but we can also see why his father gets annoyed with him. He’s a big kid and, at times, spoiled. At first Jack’s father comes across as snobby and ignorant, but we learn to laugh at his biting humor and his efforts to connect with Jack. We also get a bit of a different view of each location. We visit eccentric temples in Thailand, watch trained rats search for mines in Cambodia, check out motocross skiing in Germany, and more.
Watch it on: Netflix
8. Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations
Tumblr media
Seasons 7 and 8 of the late Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations can currently be viewed on Hulu. If you’re a humanitarian at heart, this one is for you. Anthony Bourdain is after truth. He’s not interested in commercialized tourist traps or filtered Instagram photo ops. He’s after the real place, the real people, and the real history. He visits disadvantaged populations around the world. He meets with locals, journalists, and humanitarians in each country. Their conversations are often about poverty, political corruption, and marginalization. But he also has some lighter missions as well. A trip to Naples in search of the real Italian food experience. A discovery of Croatian culinary greatness. A cook off in Tokyo between the world’s greatest chefs. What we see is not always pretty. Sometimes it’s truly upsetting. But sometimes it’s great too. Either way, it’s the truth. What Anthony Bourdain ultimately does is capture the heart of the people, something traveling tourists often overlook.
Watch it on: Hulu
9. Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Tumblr media
I’m not a huge David Chang fan. I’ve only made it through one episode of Ugly Delicious. (It was the curry episode, because I love Indian food.) But I found Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner a much easier watch. It’s a lot more chill. There are only four episodes. (That helps.) He and a celebrity friend tour a different city, try the food, and just chat it up. This series focuses more on location and culture, rather than just the food itself. The personalities of his celebrity guests help provide color and humor to each episode. Kate McKinnon, as always, is a delight.
Watch it on: Netflix
10. Tales By Light
Tumblr media
Tales By Light follows photographers around the world as they capture stunning works of art. This is a must see if you love art, especially photography. Watch humpback whales dance under water in Tonga, the colorful Festival of Holi in India, abandoned desert ghost towns of Namibia, and indigenous cultures of Australia. Season 3 is especially sobering. Photographer Simon Lister and UNICEF ambassador Orlando Bloom travel to Bangladesh to capture portraits of children in need. You’ll marvel at the beauty, but also cry for the less fortunate.

What Could Be || Jose "Sad Eyes" Guzman
Tumblr media
(GIF Credit: @merakiaes)
A/N: Unsure about Sad Eyes' familial status (siblings, aunts, uncles etc) so I've included some family members in this piece. There are purposely misspelled words for childspeak and there are grammatical errors. Apologies for the latter. Don't hesitate to correct any errors with the Spanish translations. Thanks!
Pairing(s): Sad Eyes x Reader 
Summary: A glimpse of a potential future. 
Warnings: children having no filter, fluff, language, making out scene (light/medium), mentions of food allergies, physical altercation between children, talks of future family; marriage
Word Count: 1172
- ♤ - ♡ - ◇ - ♧ -
"Uno." Elena exclaimed, waiting for her turn again before putting down her final card. She quickly got up and did a little dance, laughing as she pointed at her tio. "You owe me twenty bucks, mister!" 
"Nah, I wanna rematch," replied Jose, he grabbed all of the cards, stacked them up and shuffled, "we're playing again, niña." 
She shook her head, "nope," and held out her hand, "twenty bucks." 
He scoffed, "I ain't giving you shit," he started dealing the cards, "let's go again." 
While he argued with the five year old, (Y/N) tended to Ethan who had scraped his knee. He sniffed and backed away from her, but with a promise of it being quick he allowed her to fix him up. Once he was all done, he quickly joined his cousins Javier and Luca back on the playground. (Y/N) scanned the area and found Yasmin playing hopscotch with some girls, while her brother Miguel stood to the side and watched. 
"Ap'le joose," Stella cooed, chubby hands reaching out for her sippy cup. 
(Y/N) chuckled, "please." 
She clapped her hands, "peas." 
"That's right, cutie!" 
A typical Saturday for Jose and (Y/N) would consist of the former overseeing runs for the gang and the latter working in her flower shop. However, both decided to fulfil the wishes of the gremlins (an ever growing group of nieces and nephews on Jose's side) to hang out. So, Sad Eyes let Spooky know he was with family but to let him know if he needed assistance. Whereas (Y/N) simply closed up her shop for the day. 
It was a sunny day in Freeridge, so the couple decided to spend the day at the local park. With a promise of ice cream, at the end of their outing, (Y/N) hoped it would steer the little ones away from any misbehaviour. 
The plan was working.
"Tia! Tia! Tia!" Ethan cried out, running back towards her, "Javier and Luca are fighting!" 
But of course with children, you can never really plan. 
Before she could get up, her boyfriend had jumped to his feet and looked her way, "I got it," and was led into the playground where a small crowd had formed. Elena laughed, "he only left 'cause he was losing." She gathered his cards, her own and put them with the rest of the deck before packing it away, "he needs to get his Uno skills up." 
(Y/N) picked up Stella and placed her on her hip, while calling out to Yasmin and Miguel. The siblings said goodbye to their newfound friends and hurried over.
"Is it ice cream time?" asked Miguel, jumping up and down.
Yasmin cheered, "ice cream!"
"Crem!" Stella echoed. 
(Y/N) chuckled and watched Jose walk over with the trio of boys. Two out of the three's clothes definitely looked like they had been in a scuffle. 
"Some kid pushed Luca in the tunnel 'cause he wasn't going fast enough," Jose explained, "Javier was waiting on the other side and told the kid he needed to apologise." 
Luca spoke up, "the boy pushed Javi and then Javi pushed him back," he fiddled with his hands, "Another boy came and started pulling Javi's hair so I jumped in and whacked him in the face." 
Looking at her boyfriend, she smiled and looked back at the kids, "who's ready for ice-cream?" 
She was met with a loud round of cheers.
The couple double checked that Ethan's didn't contain any nuts and were extremely thankful when they found a dairy-free option for Yasmin. Stella even got her own little cup of vanilla. While they all enjoyed their treat, Jose and (Y/N) expressed how proud they were of Luca and Javier for standing up for themselves and for each other. Especially with Javi for talking to the kid first. (Y/N) made a mental note to let their parents know. 
When they got back to their apartment, they noticed all of the kids had fallen asleep. (Y/N) stayed in the car, while Jose took trips carrying each one into their apartment. She carried Stella while he made his last trip with Ethan. But, went back to grab their bags. 
Once she gently placed Stella in her make-shift crib, she walked out of the room. Leaving the door ajar as she joined Jose on the couch in the living room. She snuggled into his side, he kissed the top of her head and rubbed her arm. 
"Today was interesting," she exclaimed. 
He chuckled, "yeah, but you wanna know what it just solidified?" When (Y/N) sat up, he continued, "that the only kids I can picture having are with you." She remained silent, so he kept going, "the way you're with my nieces and nephews is how I see you being with our kids." 
(Y/N) bit her lip, they'd touched on the subject of building a family but it was brief, so hearing him talk so openly is something that made her heart jump for joy. Jose reached out and carressed her face, bringing her lips in for a quick peck, "tienes mi corazón, (Y/N). You know I love calling you wifey, but one day I'm gonna make sure that title rings true. 
"Wifey?" She held up her hand. 
Laughing, he grabbed her hand, "I've always known it," kissing each finger, paying attention to the bare ring finger. 
She chuckled, "I guess looking after the gremlins is good practice, huh?" 
"Yeah." 
"How about our kids?" 
He arched an eyebrow, "what about them?" 
"How do you picture them?" 
"With my good looks and your brains," he tapped her head, "they're gonna take over the world!" 
(Y/N) playfully scoffed, "so I'm ugly?" 
"You always tryin' to start shit." 
She squealed when he nipped her neck and pressed exaggerated kisses wherever he could reach. He was only stopped by (Y/N) taking a hold of his face. She traced her thumb on his bottom lip, before pressing her own against his. What was meant to be a sweet peck, ended up with (Y/N) being lifted into his lap and the kiss deepened. 
Jose moved his hands to her hips, she moved her hands to grip the collar of his flannel. They were so caught up with each other that they didn't hear shuffling of several footsteps. (Y/N) let out a moan when he released her bottom lip with a pop. She caught his lips before they drifted too far.
"Ew!" 
The couple pulled back from each other, startled from the intrusion. They both glanced towards the hallway to find Yasmin, Javier, Luca and Elena standing and staring at them. (Y/N) tried to shuffle out of her boyfriend's lap, but he stopped her.
"Volver a la cama!" 
The kids scrambled back down the hallway.
(Y/N) groaned, already thinking about ways to appropriately explain the situation… not only to them but also to their parents. While Jose cracked up laughing, finding being caught by the kids hilarious.

Volver a la cama - go back to bed

What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? The most impactful memory is the week of Christmas when Mirana lost both her parents (or who she believes to be, at least) in a house fire. 
Who has had the most influence on you? Amara Diaz née Pérez - her mother. Mira inherited many of her favorite hobbies from Amara, such as reading, mythology, and stargazing. Amara was incredibly caring, and while Mira does a poor job of showing it, she is very protective over anyone she cares for. 
What do you consider your greatest achievement? Mira once managed a page 2 story in the San Francisco Chronicle, but it was written under the name Isabel Perez. 
What is your greatest regret? Her greatest regret is triggering her pyrokinesis. 
What is the most evil thing you have ever done? From her perspective, murdering her parents. 
Do you have a criminal record of any kind? Nothing listed other than a speeding ticket, but she has committed arson and numerous counts of trespassing. 
When was the time you were the most frightened? Waking up in the ashes of her childhood home. 
What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? She once got caught staring at a bartender, and when asked why, she fumbled and said she was wanting to ask for a job application. This is how she met her current roommate Logan and ended up working at Neon Nights. This may not be the most embarrassing memory, but a recent one. Also, drunk texts. 
If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why? She would easily change Amara not being alive. 
Is your character an optimist or a pessimist? Mirana was never an overly positive person/dreamer, but she generally considered the glass half-full. In recent years, she is very much a pessimist. 
What is your most treasured possession? Her most treasured possession was a bracelet from her mother that Mirana had engraved in remembrance of Amara. This was recently lost, leaving her current treasured possession a house plant from her roommate, Ilana. 
What is their favorite fairy tale? She has always enjoyed the story of Robin Hood. 
Do they believe in happy endings? For herself ? No. 
Do they believe in love at first sight? Absolutely not. 
How would your character court the person of their dreams? Mirana is entirely action-oriented and present-focused, and is very unlikely to plan out courting someone. Instead of romantic confessions, sappy poetry, expressing romantic intent, etc. she is much more likely to react in the moment with little to no advance thought for her actions. 
What makes your character embarrassed? Not much can embarrass Mirana. 
Have they ever been bullied or teased? While often teased, she has rarely ever been bullied. When growing up, she spent her time mostly around other Seraphs, where she was seen as a prestigious legacy of the Diaz family. 
How do they display affection? Her love languages involve acts of service, sharing food, banter, and physical touch (this last one she currently has banned herself from). 
What do they consider beautiful in others personality-wise? Mirana admires others who openly show they care for others or are unafraid to be vulnerable, perhaps because she can’t manage to do so herself. 
What do they consider ugly in others personality-wise? She despises people like her father, who use people for personal gain or have no regard for harming their loved ones. 
What is their idea of perfect happiness? Being able to be human instead of a witch (as she thinks she is), never being able to harm someone ever again, starting life over again in a place where no one has ever heard of Seraphs or Witches or Vampires, living somewhere warm where she can lie in the grass and watch the stars, with a large library to read from, and a bustling nightlife where she can dance the night away unnoticed. 
Is your character religious? She grew up in a Roman Catholic family and attended church every weekend for nearly eighteen years, but has not attended Mass except for on occasions on her mother’s birthday. She considers herself Agnostic. If there is a power above, she believes they’ve done a horrible job and looking out for her.
How would your character describe themself in one word? Spontaneous. 
How would your character describe themself in three words? Spontaneous, curious, hilarious. 
Is your character quiet or loud? When she does speak, she can easily be loud, especially when laughing or in a boisterous mood. 
How vocally expressive is your character? Highly. Mira has difficulty keeping her opinions to herself. 
How bodily expressive is your character? Highly. Her facial expressions, despite her efforts, often give her away, and she is always moving unless cozy on the apartment couch. 
What type of music does your character like? Indie, occasionally Salsa, some Pop, anything to get her out of her head. 
What emotion does your character evoke in others? Probably anger, humor, annoyance. 
What is your character’s goal in life? To pay penance. 
Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? No. She lost her virginity at 16 to her childhood best friend and boyfriend at the time. 
What are your views on sex? She views sex as a fun activity, whether with a serious romantic partner or one night stand with a stranger, but is no longer sexually active as to not wanting to accidentally set anyone on fire. 
Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? She’s never witnessed anyone actually in love, other than possibly with her best friend, but even then she considered love in general to be mostly bullshit. 
In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how? Mirana generally keeps everyone at a distance by attempting to not share any personal details or seem particularly interested in them. She often tries to push people she finds herself caring for away with sarcasm/lies. Those who don’t fall for her bullshit that she grows attached to will find she is still just as snarky, but can also be goofy and enthusiastic. 
Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Her childhood friend Max is one person Mirana considers herself to have undying loyalty to, as she was the only person in her previous life, so to speak, to find her again. 
Who is the person you respect the most, and why? Mira respects Ilana highly, despite not showing it well, as Ilana is kind and generous and open and never seems to give up on wanting to be Mira’s friend. 
Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people. Mirana would not list anyone as a friend if asked, as caring about people would only lead to eventually destroying them, but she does have a small handful of people she has met since her return to New York that she regrettably is beginning to care about. She would describe them as chaotic. 
Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person. Her last significant other knew her under the alias of Isabel Perez when she lived in California. He met her in journalism school, was a photographer, and asked very few questions about her past, which was ideal. Despite dating him for nearly six months, Mira moved back to New York with nothing more than a one line text.
Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. While not in love with the previously mentioned significant other, she did love her and Max’s childhood best friend. They’d been in her life so long that the transition to a romantic relationship was mostly accidental, but it lasted nearly two years before she ended things abruptly after losing her parents. She has not seen them since. 
What do you look for in a potential lover? Things Mira finds attractive: confidence, witty banter, spontaneity, adrenaline, assertiveness, independence, affection. 
How close are you to your family? To her knowledge, Mira has no biological family remaining. She was incredibly close to her mother, and essentially wished her father dead. 
Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not? When younger, Mirana liked the idea of one day having two to three kids, always jealous of her friends with siblings and a decent babysitter when she needed to save money over the summer. Currently? She’s terrified to touch another human, much less a child, so no family of any sort is a much better plan. 
Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? This is the existential question. She is in desperate need of help, and hasn’t managed to trust anyone enough to let them decide whether to help her or turn her in. 
Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? She hasn’t had enough self-preservation to be concerned whether anyone would protect her for a long time. Protectiveness mystifies her, as she of all people doesn’t deserve it. 
If you died or went missing, who would miss you? As this is her third attempt at a new life, other than possibly Max, she would say no one. 
Who is the person you despise the most, and why? Overall? Her father, for being an abusive asshole to her mother. Alive? Herself. 
Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? She loves arguments. 
Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? While not exactly a follower, Mira rarely shows interest in leadership roles. 
Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? Mira enjoys the thrill of a crowd and being nameless, but she would probably not enjoy having to interact with all of them. In a large group, she’s probably narrowed her conversation down to one or two people nearest to her. 
Do you care what others think of you? No, unless they’re someone close to her, Mirana generally does not give a damn. 
Have they ever lost a loved one? What happened to them, and are they the same as they were before they lost them? As mentioned earlier, Mirana lost both her parents when she returned home from Seraph training for Christmas holidays and attempted to defend her mother, but in terror and rage accidentally activated her phoenix abilities. She has not been the same since, living in guilt and self-imposed solitude.
Has your character ever been hurt or betrayed by someone they thought they could depend on? What happened? Not particularly. She tries not to depend on others. 
Does your character have a deep and/or dark secret? If so, what is it? She hasn’t told Logan she sought her out on purpose and got the job at Neon Nights to try and meet the Supreme of NYC and learn how to convince/manipulate her into removing her powers. She hasn’t told anyone that she is to blame for her parents’ death. Only Max knows about her father not being the glorious Seraph the Seraphs believed him to be. Only a few coven members believe she is a witch, but she hasn’t told them she’s unable to do basic spells and is starting to believe she is something else (a demon? cursed? some monstrous mutation?). This may or may not be all of them. 
If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left. 1. Destroy her father’s headstone 2. Travel to Europe for her mother’s dreams. 3. Somehow manage to recover her mother’s bracelet from the Atlantic. 
What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death? For not being a complete and utter monster. 
What three words best describe your personality? Mirana is stubborn, tenacious, and inquisitive. 
What three words would others probably use to describe you? Blunt, hungry, sarcastic.

Old post! Sincember Event❄️❄️
Rating: Suggestive🍭
Tumblr media
"Are you almost ready babe? You've been staring into the mirror for at least fifteen minutes now." You said while you brushed your hair at your vanity.
You just needed to put the finishing touches on your makeup and you'd be done.
Mirio looked over his shoulder at you, smiling as he watched you toy with your hair.
"Sorry baby, I was just admiring this neat sweater that you bought for the party. It's hilarious." 
You smirked and looked down at your own red sweater. It had the typical Christmas themed white stitching with an image of a car with a Christmas tree strapped on top of it. It read, Where do you think you're gonna put a tree that big?*
Mirio's was green and it read, Bend over & I'll show you with the same car and tree on it.
You loved them immediately and purchased them at a small shop after a trip to Walmart for groceries. It wasn't until later that Nejire called the two of you up with an invite to an ugly Christmas sweater party.
"Alright, I'm ready." Mirio announces after putting on his green and red striped socks. "Let's go! Hot chocolate and spiked egg-nog awaits us!" 
He scooped you up Superman style and whisked you out of the bedroom, you laughing all the way.
----
The party was being held in the rec room of UA Alliance, a room that you didn't even know existed until just now.
The entirety of Class 1-A, a few from 1-B, and some of the third years you recognized from class were all in attendance. 
You recognized the goofball Denki Kaminari with his friends Mina and Sero, parading around with drinks and laughing about something the blonde had previously said. They were dressed in black sweaters with red stitching; Denki's read Where all my ho's at? while Mina's and Sero's had HO plastered on the front of it.
Mina spotted you and bounced over happily, offering you a drink, which you took and thanked her. 
"Hey Y/N! I love you guys' sweaters!" 
You giggled, "Thanks Mina! You guys' sweaters are fire." 
The two of you continued to talk while Mirio kissed your forehead and told you that he was going to go find Tamaki.
----
Hours into the party, everyone was having a blast: dancing, mingling, and enjoying the food that was set out on the tables. 
"Alright, listen up everybody! We're going to play some games!" Denki had hopped up onto a table and was speaking into an oversized candy cane as if it were a microphone. 
"Oh God, there's no telling what he's come up with." You shook your head, while Mirio just chucked. Tamaki was turning pale because these kinds of situations were always *extremely* awkward, and Nejire was bouncing up and down excitedly. 
"Everybody get into a circle, we're playing 7 Minutes in Heaven!" 
There were multiple shouts of protest, drowning out Denki's overzealous cheers. He may have had one too many spiked egg-nogs.
----
As the game wore on, it was finally your turn and you were miraculously able to spin Mirio. 
"No fair! You guys are already glued to the hip! Spin again, Y/N!" 
You just grinned while Mirio grabbed your hand and started pulling you towards the closet. 
"Sorry Kaminari, no deal." He gave everyone that dazzling smile of his and let you go into the small space first before following you in and closing the door. 
"Fine. You have seven minutes ONLY." Denki pouted and slinked away back to the circle. 
----
"So, how did you do it? You used your quirk to move the bottle didn't you?" You looked up at your blonde boyfriend who had a mischievous look on his face.
"Actually, I didn't. That was just pure dumb luck!" 
"Right, right." You said with a suspicious tone to your voice. "So what are we going to do in here for the next-", you checked your watch, "six minutes and fifty-seven seconds?" 
Mirio smirked down at you and grabbed your shoulder, turning you around to face the interior of the small closet. With one hand, he lifted up your black skirt moving his fingers to slide into your panties. 
"Bend over and I'll show you."

Meowwy Christmas | N. JM
Tumblr media
➳ pairing: na jaemin x fem!reader
➳ genre: fluff, kind of christmassy but oh well
➳ word count: ~1.5k
➳ warnings: cursing, alcohol
➳ summary: the boss’s son has always been a tantalizing mystery...until he isn’t.
A/N: why am I posting a Christmas piece in September? You know just as well as I do.
Tumblr media
The office ugly sweater holiday party was annual and mandatory. There was nothing you hated more than putting on a hot, itchy sweater, and hanging out with your annoying coworkers on a Saturday night. But you had to. You knew from experience that it wasn’t something you could get out of, especially because when you tried to cut two years ago, you got a friendly call from your boss asking where you were.
It wouldn’t be so bad if the crowd was a little bit different. But the problem with working at a major publishing company is that the average age in the office was somewhere around 40. Only you and two other workers were under the age of 25, and you tended to stick together. But with Renjun recovering from an appendix removal and Jeno at his sister’s wedding, you knew you would be spending the night alone.
You tugged at the turtleneck of your itchy green sweater as you stood in the tacky foyer of your boss’s home. It was early in the night--too early, in fact, for you to be sweating the way you were. It definitely didn’t help that you were on your third glass of wine, too tempted by the sweet release of alcohol to limit yourself to one glass. You couldn’t bring yourself to watch Phyllis from marketing do karaoke to “Sweet Caroline” completely sober.
The dim lighting of the room reflected off of the glitter and sequins on various sweaters, making your head start to pound lowly. Between that, the cheesy karaoke songs, and the heat of the room, you knew you had to escape somehow. Looking around for an exit, you immediately became flustered. There was no way out without being noticed. You thought you were doing well at concealing your discomfort until a hand tapped on your shoulder.
“Need some air?”
When you turned to face the hand’s owner, you were stunned in your place. You had never seen your boss’s son, only heard stories about through the insane amount of office gossip. Mr. Na was quick to shut down any and all rumors about his son, but the gossip never stopped. One thing that you heard was definitely true. Na Jaemin sure was handsome.
Even in an electric blue, polyester sweater with a tabby cat on the front that said “Meowwy Christmas,” his handsomeness and charm showed through. Maybe it was the way his ringed fingers curled around the neck of a cold beer, or maybe it was the shiny silver Rolex on his wrist. Either way, Jaemin looked like the walking intersection of wealth and beauty.
“No, no, I’m okay…” you answered politely, holding onto the stem of your wine glass that much tighter.
The boy just quirked an eyebrow at you, taking a quick scan of the room before leaning in close. “I know how to get out in a way that no one will see.”
“Sneaking out of the annual, mandatory office party? I think that would be case for dismissal from the company.” You joked back, trying to hide the hitch in your breath at his close proximity.
The boy’s eyes gleamed with mischief. “Well then it must be a good thing that my dad can’t fire me.”
“Must be nice,” you scoffed playfully. “Some of us don’t have the luxury of being family.”
The glint in the young man’s eyes seemed brighter than ever. “Fair. So I’ll take that as a yes, you want to get out of here?”
You barely had a chance to smile before the boy was disappearing into the crowd of older bodies. It was difficult to keep up with him, seeing as he undeniably knew his house better than you did. But when you followed him into a dim hallway and down three steps, you were met with a sliding glass door. After taking the first step outside, you smiled widely.
The air felt cool on your skin, soothing the blooming itchy patches on your arms and neck. It was dark outside, the only light coming from the party behind you. Jaemin kept walking in front of you, leading you further out into what you could only assume was the backyard. Three lawn chairs stood unceremoniously in the large patch of grass, and Jaemin claimed one. He patted the seat next to him, and it took a second for your slightly tipsy figure to sit down comfortably.
“I never introduced myself!” You mumbled quietly. “I’m--”
“Y/N,” Jaemin cut you off. “I know. My dad talks about your work all the time. He says that if he didn’t have me, he would let you run the company someday.”
You choked on the red wine that you had been sipping on. “Are you fucking kidding me?! I just do cover designs. It’s only like my third year here. I don’t even work at the main location.”
“I know,” Jaemin chuckled slightly, taking a sip of his frosty beer. “But he loves your work.”
You sighed, letting your head that suddenly felt too heavy rest on the dirty cushion of the lawnchair. You had no idea that your boss thought so highly of you, especially highly enough to talk to his son about you. Either way, you were flattered.
Next to you, Jaemin sat quietly, sipping occasionally on his beer. You momentarily grazed his profile, taking in the sharp curve of his jawline and the softness of his hair. He truly was handsome, a trait that you knew he definitely did not get from his father.
You liked your boss a lot. He was extremely caring and kind hearted when it came to his staff, but you couldn’t help but think he was a little bit selfish for hiding his son from the office. You heard Jaemin worked occasionally at the main office in the city, whereas your desk was located at the smaller outlet in the suburbs. You had never considered a location change...until now.
“So why are you here?” Jaemin suddenly asked, leaning back in his chair comfortably.
“This is mandatory for us normal people, remember?”
Jaemin nodded. “Right. But have you ever thought about coming just to show your face and then leaving early?”
You chuckled, taking another long swig of your wine. “Tried that last year. When I showed up on Monday, Janet and Eunice in editing were telling the whole graphics department that I left for a booty call. So I don’t think that’s the best solution.
Jaemin laughed loudly, clamping a hand over his mouth in an attempt to muffle the sound. “I’m sorry. I know I shouldn’t be laughing, but that’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.”
“I know. At the time it sucked, but looking back on it, it’s hilarious. They were just salty they haven’t had any dick since their divorces.”
“Cute and sassy, I like it,” Jaemin chuckled.
You turned in his direction, quirking an eyebrow at his still-smiling frame. “Cute?”
“Very. You’re lucky you left the ugly sweater party early last year, because I was literally walking over to ask for your number as you were walking out. I had to wait a whole 365 days to see you again. I was happy to see you in a new sweater this time.”
You looked down at your Grinch-green fuzzy sweater and laughed. “So you have an ugly sweater fetish...cute.”
Now it was Jaemin’s turn to laugh. “I think I’m more just attracted to the beautiful woman who’s wearing the sweater.”
“Smooth,” you teased, letting the last bit of red wine slide down your throat. Despite the warmth flooding to your cheeks, the cold December air was beginning to bite at the tip of your nose. You could tell Jaemin was feeling the same way as he shivered slightly in his seat. “You cold?”
He shook his head. “It’s better than being in the house with all those stuffy people.”
You hummed softly, eyes trained on the house in front of you. You could vaguely see the silhouettes of people in the house, and you chuckled when you saw the dancing had begun. Jaemin seemed to notice at the same time, shaking his head before taking another swig of his beer.
“You know, you never asked me.” You started.
Jaemin looked confused. “Asked you for what?”
“We’ve been out here for well over ten minutes and you haven’t asked me for my number. I thought you would have at least gone with me to my car by now. But maybe that’s just the Meiomi talking.”
Jaemin was taken aback, not used to such a blunt nature in girls. His cheeks began to hold a pink hue, and he wished he could blame it all on the cold. But as he stole a glance at the smirk on your face, he knew it was all you.
“Y/N, are you implying that we should ditch the annual, mandatory ugly sweater office holiday party?”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying,” you turned to him with a devilish smile. “But for an actual booty call this time.”

BTS Reaction: You Ask Them To Kill A Spider
Requested: nope, I am working on requests but I needed something funny rn :')
a/n: Myyyyy, FIFTH BTS reaction! that's literally not even impressive but.... (>*-*)>♥ *dis for you*
I just thought of this one night and thought it'd be hilarious 🤷🏻‍♀️ also I needed to put some crack/fluff out there after that painful JK angst I posted...
Warnings: none, unless you have arachnophobia or are just scared of spiders in genral, then read with caution cuz it may trigger you. I squirmed a bit tbh. But it's not that bad!
BTS Masterlist ← find all my works here loves~
*I do not own any of the gifs, all credits go to rightful owners*
KIM SEOKJIN:
Tumblr media
Lmaoo, same Jin honey, same.
You'd think it was World War lll the way Jin was going about killing this spider.
You'd seen one when you were in your room changing for date night and you screamed for Jin to please come kill it. He had come into your room, a confused look on his face, "what's the matter, princess?" You told him to walk in further then pointed out the spider up in the corner of the room. Jin's eyes widened and he swallowed, there was no way he was gonna get that. But when he turned around again and went to leave you asked him where he was going and he stuttered out, "uuuh, to uh, I was gonna get a...shoe...to kill it..." Jin sighed and hung his head in defeat.
Now here he was, your precious fool of a husband–armed with several different types of shoes, a broom, cleaning spray, your sunhat on his head (in case it falls on him he said), and the lid of a pot for a shield.
You were backed up almost to the door, trying your very best not to laugh your head off, as he screamed then swung at the little beast, then screamed again. It went on like this for a while; Jin preparing himself then lunging forward and smacking the spider (trying to at least) then screaming and jumping back; starting the whole process again. Finally he hit it and shouted in victory after confirming it was dead. He turned and looked at you, smiling proudly, "I did it!" You clapped and hugged him after getting all his protective gear off, "thanks honey! You did great! Now I'll finished getting dressed." He nodded and let you finish up, then took you by the waist as you left for the date, "I'm pretty cool aren't I? I saved you from that spider." You laughed and side-hugged him as you walked, "you really are Jin baby, thank you~" He kissed your head.
He'd do anything for his princess, even face off the evil spider.
MIN YOONGI:
Tumblr media
I'd sell all my limbs to be able to make that smile appear on Yoongi's face...
Yoongi had been in the 'Genius Lab' for a few hours now and you were lonely. So you decided to join him and at least watch him work on his latest project for a bit. After knocking and hearing Yoongi say to come in, you put in the code and open the door, "hey, can I sit with you while you work?" You ask when you've stepped in and closed the door behind you. Yoongi turns in his chair and smiles when he sees you, "of course jagi, I should be done soon but you can definitely join me." You smile and make yourself comfortable on his couch and he blows a kiss at you before turning to finish up.
You decide to take a small nap; so you lie down and curl up, closing your eyes. After a little while you squint your eyes open, looking at Yoongi. That's when you see a spider on the arm of the couch. Yoongi turns around when he hears you gasp, "Y-Yoongi!" He sees you scooted all the way to the other side of the couch and he looks at you quizzically, "what's the matter Y/n?" You point at the arm of the couch where the spider is sitting, "there's a spider right there."
Yoongi gets up and walks over, looking where you're pointing, when he sees it he laughs and grabs a random newspaper that was on his desk. He rolls it up and smacks the spider. Quick and easy. You relax and sit comfortably again.
"oh, haha, thanks baby." You laugh and mess with your hands in embarrassment at how easily he got the bug. Yoongi just smiles and shrugs, "no problem love. Now, are you ready to go? I'm all finished for tonight anyway." You smile and nod, taking Yoongi's hand and climbing off the couch when he holds it out to you.
"Just so ya know, Y/n...you owe me one now for saving your life."
"What?? It was just a spider Yoongi."
"Just a spider huh?"
"Yes."
"Well the way you screamed made it seem li-"
"Ok shut up."
Yoongi just smirks evilly and holds your hand tighter, swinging it between you two. He wasn't gonna let you live it down for a long time.
JUNG HOSEOK:
Tumblr media
I'm gonna cry this gif is so funny, I'm so sorry Hobi lmaoooo
"How is your food, Jagi?" Hobi asks around a mouthful of cheeseburger. You nod and give him a thumbs up, letting him know the noodles you're eating are indeed delicious. Hobi smiles and goes back to eating happily, sipping on his beloved Sprite every now and then. The two of you decided to go out to lunch today, seeing as the weather was nice and sunny. You sit at a little outside table with an umbrella stuck in the middle of it; shielding you from the sun, talking about random things and just enjoying the food and each other's company.
You didn't think this day could get any better; hanging out with your favorite boy, eating yummy food and laughing till your sides hurt when he makes a funny joke and his contagious laughter rings out.
Hobi was in the middle of explaining how confusing the new dance routine was and how he was having a hard time helping the members out with it, when you see movement down by his elbow that is currently resting on the table. Your eyes flick down to it and then widen when you see it's a spider. Spiders are one of your biggest fears. Hobi looks at you curiously, then snaps in front of your face, "hey, Y/n, are you okay?" You point at his elbow and before you can even utter the whole sentence 'there's a spider' Hobi is screaming and jumping off his seat, smacking his knee hard on the table.
"Hobi! Are you okay?" You jump up as well and reach over to him, not even letting the spider be your priority right now. Hobi just jumps away from the table again, "i-it was a spider right??" You let out a squeak yourself and run behind him, "yes, it was right by your elbow." Hoseok makes a noise that sounds half like a groan and half like a scream, then he shivers.
"What do we do Hobi? It's still on the table and we haven't finished yet."
"I...uh..." You look up at your boyfriend's face and seeing that he really doesn't wanna do it- you swallow your fear and stand up straighter. You grab your shoe off your foot and walk forward to smack the little demon once and for all. That nasty thing wasn't about to ruin your date, phobia or not. Except you feel a hand on your arm and turn to see Hobi has stopped you.
"What's the matter Hobi?"
"Y/n, aren't you like, deathly afraid of spiders?"
You bite your lip, you didn't care as long as Hobi didn't have to do it. That's when he takes the shoe out of your hand and hurries forward, smacking the spider and trying not to hit the food, screaming when it falls on the ground and smacking it again and again while shouting the whole time.
That was your sweet brave boy Hobi, always looking out for you.
KIM NAMJOON:
Tumblr media
Lol, why is shook Joonie so dang cute?
Namjoon was trying his best to keep the ingredients in the bowl as he stirred. It was a fairly simple task, but knowing Namjoon you were prepared to have a lot to clean up. Except, he was so excited and really wanted to help out with the brownies you were making, so you decided it really didn't matter how messy it got- as long as Joonie was having a good time.
Yes, he was having a lot of fun to be honest, you had made it through the measuring and pouring of everything and just a little cleanup had been necessary so far, thankfully. It wasn't until the mixing that things went downhill...No, it wasn't Joon's fault at all actually; it was the spider that decided he wanted to join in the fun that tipped things off.
Namjoon was super concentrated on mixing, and you were putting the ingredients you used back into the pantry and refrigerator. That's when you saw the spider on the floor; running like it's stupid little life depended on it, which, technically it did. You screamed and slammed the fridge shut, jumping as far as you could from the ugly little thing. Namjoon started and turned to see what the problem was, brownie batter spoon still in hand. When he saw it running across the floor he let out a shout of his own and tripped over his feet to get away. A little flour flew out of the bowl but neither of you cared-even some of the mixed batter splat on the ground, but again your attention was elsewhere.
"Joon! Kill it! Get it before it hides somewhere!"
"What?? Why me??" Namjoon looks at you in shock, still holding the mixing spoon covered in chocolate batter.
"Because you're the man! That's why!"
"B-but...but..." Namjoon stutters and looks back at the spider that is crawling up a wall now. He sets the bowl and spoon down and pulls his left shoe off; you won that argument so now he was gonna have to kill that thing.
Namjoon takes one last dramatic look at you, both your eyes big as saucers and mouths slightly open. Then he let's out a shout as he charges for the spider, all or nothing.
It's a good thing he's so tall, because the spider had made it a little ways up the wall, but it was no match for an aggressive and determined Namjoon.
He smacked it with such a force that you jumped from the sound.
His shoulders are heaving when he turns and looks at you with a serious glint in his eyes.
"Alrighty then Y/n....where were we?" Then he throws his shoe over by the door and marches back to the bowl, grabbing the spoon and stirring again, one lonely shoe on his right foot.
You can't hold it in anymore and burst out laughing.
PARK JIMIN:
Tumblr media
Asjdjdjxiscavb why's he so cute for? >:(
"Hmmm, can you turn a little to the left baby?" You shift slightly to the left at your boyfriend's request and see him smile and give a thumbs up before disappearing behind his phone again.
The two of you were doing an aesthetic photoshoot. It was Jimin's idea and today was your turn to be the model; you two had decided that green was the color for today's shoot. At the moment you were lying back against a tree trunk as Jimin took the pictures with his phone. You blush as he keeps shouting praises at you, "lookin good baby! oh my gosh you're so cute! Beautiful girl! Yes, just like that!" After another few minutes Jimin asks you to lay in the grass so he can try a few different scenes.
You immediately comply; straightening out your outfit before situating yourself in the grass and lying down. Jimin walks over and smiles at you, then bends down and puts your hair over to one side, takes a few pictures, then moves your hair around your face and smiles down at you again. You giggle at him and try to pose while he snaps a few more shots. Jimin keeps chuckling too, "you're so cute baby, these pictures are gonna be so good. I can't wait t-" your brows furrow when your boyfriend cuts off in the middle of his sentence, his eyes locked to the right of your head.
"Jimin?"
"Uh.."
"Jimin what is it?" You start to panic and he puts his hand out, "don't move Y/n... I'll get it." Your eyes widen and it takes all your strength not to scream and jump up, but you choose to trust him and shut your eyes tightly.
The second you feel Jimin swat at your hair splayed on the ground you can't help yourself, so you jump up and squeal.
"IS IT OFF? IS IT OFF??"
Jimin starts laughing and doubling over, he can barely breathe he's cracking up so hard. You glare at him as you shake your hair and swat at your arms.
"What was it? Stop laughing!" When he finally catches his breath he gasps out, "it was just a little spider but the look on your face when I told you not to move was-was priceless!!" You shudder and move to smack him but he dodges you, "I hate spiders!" He just stifles his giggles and tries to put on a straight face.
"It's a good thing I got it then."
"Well, I'm done with nature for now. I'm hungry." You pout and he pinches your cheeks, cooing at you. "Ok baby, let's go get lunch." He takes your hand as you two walk out of the park.
"Jimin?"
"Hm?"
"Thank you for getting the spider off me..." you mumble quietly. He looks at you and smiles, "awe, it wasn't a problem at all Jagi."
KIM TAEHYUNG:
Tumblr media
Uwu uwu uwu, stop it stop it stop it >.<
You and Tae were lying on the couch scrolling through your phones. It was a lazy day and neither of you felt like doing much of anything. Your legs were draped over his and every once in a while he would bounce his legs to see your thighs jiggle a little, teasing you because he thought it was cute and it could always make you blush.
As he started to bounce his legs again you slap at him, missing him by a long shot because your arms couldn't reach him in that position, "Tae! Stop that!" He just giggles and hums at you, still bouncing your legs. You roll your eyes and look back at your phone, scrolling through Instagram. Suddenly a small black movement on your chest catches your eye, you look down and see a spider running across you. Screaming at the top of your lungs, you launch yourself off the couch and off of a very startled Taehyung–slapping your chest to get it off and swinging around wildly–still screeching. Eventually you yank your shirt off–thankfully you had on a tank top underneath, but you were about to tear that off too when Tae stops you, "Jagi! Calm down, stop stripping!! What is it??"
Your breathing is erratic and short and you gulp before pointing at the shirt on the ground that you ripped off, "there was a gigantic spider on my shirt Tae!! It just, it just ran across me with those spindly hairy legs!!!" You are about to cry and Tae jumps up to hug you–trying his best not to laugh, "it's okay love, I'll find it and get rid of it, ok?" You nod and whimper before he tells you to go back a few feet so he can find it.
After you're a safe distance away, Tae takes your discarded shirt and shakes it a little–causing another scream to leave your mouth when the little black spider falls to the carpet and starts running. It really wasn't very big at all but you hated spiders so much it seemed huge to you. The spider stops and sits there for a minute so Tae tells you to watch it and quickly grabs a glass from the kitchen and a piece of paper. When Tae walks closer to it, it starts to run again, "TAEEE!!! AHHHH!!!" You jump up and down and wring your hands, but Tae is still super calm– he even talks to the spider, "nope, no ya don't little buddy, come here." Tae drops the glass over it and once it's trapped he slides the paper under the glass, picking up the glass, spider and all. Then he walks it outside and further away from your door before letting it go. Tae comes back in and you're sitting on the couch, "thanks baby, but I'm still scared, I don't wanna sit here anymore."
He chuckles and sits next to you, pulling you into his lap, "don't worry Jagi, I'll protect you from all those bad spiders, ok?" You smile at him and snuggle up to his chest.
JEON JUNGKOOK:
Tumblr media
oh huhuhuhuuuuuuu the cheeks! Someone hold me, I'm crying again.
"JUNGKOOOOOOK!!!!"
Jungkook jumped up and ran as fast as he could to your bedroom when he heard you shrieking. You had only been gone for a few minutes, saying you had to go to the restroom. He opened the door and didn't see you, "Y/n? Where are you?" Jungkook walked in further and then heard your voice coming from the open bathroom door in your room, "I'm in here Kookie, hurry up please." He walked over and looked in the bathroom to see you standing on the toilet, your eyes were huge and you were shaking, "What's the matter?" He stepped into the bathroom but froze when you screamed again, "ahh! Stop! Don't move Kook you'll scare it and it'll run again!" Jungkook looked around without taking another step. Then he looked back at you utterly confused, "what is it? You have to tell me what it is, I can't see anything." Your eyes were glued to a spot on the floor by the tub as you shakily pointed at where you were looking, "r-right there, it's a huge spider, oh gosh please kill it Kookie." Jungkook followed the line of your arm to see a black spider on the floor. oh frick, that was pretty big.
But he couldn't let you know it freaked him out too, he would just have to kill it for you. "Ok, uh, do you have something I can kill it with? Like, like a shoe or something?" You nodded and motioned for him to take your hand, so he took it and helped you jump off the toilet and over to where he was standing. You scurried out of the bathroom while Jungkook kept an eye on the spider. A second later you came back with a tennis shoe and a bottle of hairspray. Jungkook took the shoe and pointed at the hairspray,
"What's that for?"
"If you get too scared you can spray it and it'll slow it down.."
"Oh...ok."
Jungkook swallowed hard and moved slowly to the tub, you following close behind, bumping into his back. Suddenly he stops, "Baby..." You freeze as well–your heart thumping in your chest, "w-what?" He turns and looks at you, "maybe you should just stay back by the door." You nod and hurry back to safety, "good idea, thanks." He nods back and tries not to smile. After a lot of smacking and screaming and running (not just from you if we're being honest), and yes some hairspray was used, the spider is finally dead.
You breathe a sigh of relief as Jungkook flushes it down the toilet, then walks back over to you and you wrap your arms around his middle, hugging him tightly, "thank you Jungkookie, you're the bestest most bravest boyfriend ever." He chuckles and kisses the top of your head as a mischievous bunny smile spreads on his face, "well, at least you were able to pee in the toilet and not your pants before you saw the spider, right?" You pull back and smack him then walk out to the living room. He laughs at you as you mutter, "never mind, I hate you."
"No you don't, you love me."
Well....whatever.
