Tumblr media
When I woke up, my head was pounding. I rubbed the sleep off of my eyes then looked around the room. This wasn't my room. This was too tidy to be my room. I got up and opened the door to peer out of it. Yeah this definitely was not my house. Maybe I had a one night stand? Or... I don't know I woke up in an alternate universe?
I walked out of the room and began to smell something. It was fucking gorgeous. Haven't smelt something like it since I moved to the US. I followed the smell and there I saw Bradshaw, shirtless cooking what looked to be a Full English. Wait... why the fuck and where did Bradshaw manage to get the stuff you need to make a Full English?
My focus quickly changed to his figure, damn he looked god without a shirt. Yeah, I have seen him before with no shirt but that was when we were always arguing so I never paid it any mind. But dayum, he looked good as hell. I couldn't stop staring in all honesty, his golden skin tone mixed with how well he'd been working out just pulled me into a trance. I shook my head and quickly walked up to the kitchen island.
"Good morning Bradshaw. Please could you tell me how the actual fuck I woke up in your house?" I placed my chin on my hand as I stared up at him. He chuckled and shook his eggs and he flipped over the bacon, I quickly glanced at it and it was British bacon. Wow...
"So you're telling me you remember nothing from last night?" My brows furrowed and my lips pouted.
"I remember going out to the Hard Deck with Phoenix, getting wankered and then fuck knows what else. Why?" I raised a brow in suspicion and confusion.
"Let me give you the run down. You and Phoenix showed up to the bar with pretty skimpy dresses, you had too many double whiskies for anyone's liking, Phoenix went home so you joined the rest of the Dagger Squad. Then an hour later your 'friend,' can't remember his name, said he'd take you home and then basically asked if you wanna help cheat on his girlfriend. You also said that you're moving out and I offered for you to stay here until you find a new place to live. And you said yes." My jaw dropped. Wait... Thomas wanted to cheat on his girlfriend?... With me?!
"I know, wild night you had sweetheart." He chuckled as he finished cooking the breakfast and plated it all up. He passed me one plate as he sat down next to me and began to eat his.
"Wait wait wait, pause for a second there Bradshaw. Thomas wanted to cheat on his girlfriend with me?" I couldn't believe it, we'd stay up all night so he could talk about how in love with her he was. He even talked about fucking proposing to her. Bradshaw nodded in response.
"Nah what the fuck? That can't be true. He literally took me ring shopping for her the other day." Bradshaw didn't reply, all he did was take his phone out. He tapped it a few times and then placed it on the worktop. It was an audio. It had a few voices in it that stuck out to me. But the one that stuck out the most was Thomas'. The things he said my top lip curl up in disgust. I furrowed my brows as I looked at Bradshaw.
"We've been friends since I was 6. Why and how the fuck has he turned into this? He used to be so fucking sweet and caring." Bradshaw gave me a sympathetic look.
"Some people just change. It sucks, doesn't it?" I let out a scoff with a smile.
"It really fucking does." I stare into space for a few seconds until I look back to the Full English that Bradshaw has been cooking. "When and where did you find out how to make a Full English breakfast Bradshaw?" Bradshaw gave me a smirk as he sat down across from me.
"The joys of google." He jabbed the bacon and sausage before shoving it into his mouth.
------------------------------------------------------
Today was a slow day at Top Gun. Nothing was really getting done because Maverick and Cyclone were having a 6 hour long argument somehow. I can't even hold a 10 minute conversation let alone a fucking 6 hour long argument. What are they even arguing about?
Phoenix jabbed me on my shoulder to get my attention.
"You wanna go to the beach after this? Maverick said it's some team building technique. Everyone has to go apparently." I rolled my eyes with a slight smirk.
"How is going to the beach going to help us all get along? Also, could I come to your house before so I can get ready? I'm staying at Bradshaw's for a bit til I can find somewhere to live." Phoenix immediately said yes and told me some other girls from the squad are coming as well.
Thinking about the beach and team building brought an idea into my head. Although me and Bradshaw are civil now, doesn't mean I can't mess with him.

“Uhehe. Well, surprise, surprise. We do have a lot to do with this, missy. We were just thieves before we got hold of the Snag Machines. And where did we get them? From Cipher. What they wanted was this: Go Snag superior-grade Pokémon from trainers everywhere!”
More Colosseum art with Gonzap! Man, the Orre games really did a lot with varying the human character designs at a time when the series really needed it, especially when it came to body shapes. If a character like Gonzap had been introduced in an officially-counted-as-such main series game, I doubt he'd be so...exaggerated, I guess is the best word, and that's a damn shame tbh. And hey, we got the first actual Shadow Pokemon in this series based on one of the games featuring Shadow Pokemon! Wow! Took long enough! Why didn't this happen sooner? Mostly cuz the previous three had the Legendary Beasts and I'd already drawn then, and as for Miror B's Sudowoodo...well, it doesn't really feel like his, not to mention we all know someone who "trulee" needs to have it more, but that'll be a loooooong time from now... XD

Raxis showed he blocked you why are you still stalking him
I'm not stalking him lmfao. The only times I've really talked about him the past, like, six months? Have been when he's explicitly come to my blog to take screenshots of my posts and repost them to other platforms, despite the fact that I have had him blocked for a long time now. Which, wow, that does tend to get back to me believe it or not, whether I go look at any of his accounts or not. In this particular instance I noticed the art theft because the artist (who I and multiple other people I'm friends with follow, because they're a big artist. Big enough to get comms from Celine's VA--which that piece he reposted without permission was btw) got an ask tipping them off to the fact that Raxyboy had reposted their art which explicitly said "do not repost" on it.
I'd seen him do this art theft bullshit before (he and/or someone in that circle did it around November too, I actually had a post in my drafts talking about it, but decided not to post it because I didn't want to get bogged down in it) so I thought it warranted mentioning this time around. Especially since it's clear he didn't bother asking permission. If he had, I'm sure the artist would have said "hey cool that you like my work, but I have a tumblr. Could you reblog it instead?". Really it's just another piece of evidence demonstrating a loooooong, abusive pattern Raxyboy engages in (namely: "who gives a fuck about boundaries, I can do whatever I want whenever I want and I'm going to expect you to put up with me blatantly harassing you and stealing your work because fuck your feelings. I'm entitled to your words and your work whenever, wherever, and however I want!")
Like again, this dude is 35 and behaving like a schoolyard bully. He's more than old enough to know how to respect a block button and ask permission before blatantly stealing and reposting other people's work. It's not really my fault that he categorically refuses to respect other people's personal boundaries. If that's getting him into trouble with other people in the fandom, perhaps he could try modifying his behavior to be more respectful of his fellow fans instead of sending whiny anons into my inbox to "defend" his indefensible actions.

Prologue
Being the eldest daughter in the family has never brought me any luck... Especially when the child born after me is a boy. Jungwon, my little brother, was automatically proclaimed the future heir of our family. Ever since he was born, I've been almost invisible to our parents, and of course, this also rubbed off on the servants. All my governess and guardian had done my education and follow. Fortunately, they took good care of me and showered me with immense love to replace that of my parents. I was never jealous of my brother; He and I loved each other very much. It's not his fault that our parents favor him so much...it's something he can't control. Unfortunately for him, he's a terrible student. Ever since he was a child, he's only skipped his lessons with the tutor to practice with his sword. As a result, I did his homework on his stade. He wasn't fit to be an heir...but I...I absolutely wanted to...be the heiress. But of course, that would never happen...as long as Jungwon remained alive.
_"Jungwon, start learning your lessons more seriously. When you will be the head of the family, I will not do your job secretly for you like I'm doing now." I told him.
We were sitting at a table in the library; me reading a book; him sitting opposite me, almost lying on the table, looking at me sulkily.
_"Y/n I came to see you to spend time with you, not for you to lecture me."
_“I never asked you to come and see me, anyway.”
_"Wow, that's mean."
_"Look, we're not kids anymore. This is no time for jokes or making light of your role. Get a grip."
_"You're the only person I can be with without worrying about a role I never wanted and now you talk like everyone else... I thought you understood me." He said, really hurt.
I lifted my eyes from my book and looked at him gently.
_“I'm sorry... I shouldn't have said that.”
_”Forget it”. He said before storming out of the library.
That was the last time I saw my brother before he disappeared.
It had already been a month since my brother disappeared. We had moved heaven and earth to find him, but to no avail. We found no trace of him, as if he'd vanished. The tension in the house was unbearable, and I spent most of the day in my room. How could he have disappeared so easily? How come he still hasn't been found? Is he still alive or... dead? I was worried sick.
The door to my room opened. I turned around and saw my mother and father.
_”Why did you do that?” My mother shouted.
_”What do you mean?” I answered, confused.
_”Don't play with us. You think we didn't understand your little ploy?”
_”I don't understand.”
_"You got rid of Jungwon so you could be the heiress."
_"I would never do that to my brother." I said in shock.
_”We're aware that you're desperate to become the heiress, and knowing you..."
I cut my mother off.
_”What are you insinuating? That I'm so cruel as to hurt my brother just for a position?" I said, feeling my rage rising.
My parents said nothing.
_”It's funny to hear you say you know me when you know nothing about me. You haven't even been able to fulfill your role as parents because I'm a girl who won't bring anything to the family."
_”Don't talk nonsense..." began my father, before being interrupted by the servant who came storming through the door.
_”The young Lord has returned!” He said breathlessly.
I rushed to the entrance of the mansion and saw my brother standing there unharmed. I ran to him and hugged him tightly. 
_”Jungwon, I'm so happy you're here safe and sound...you don't know how worried I was.” I said, my face buried in his chest, holding back my tears.
I stepped back a little and cupped his face to get a good look. He looked at me expressionlessly, which made the smile disappear from my face. 
_“Jungwon?” I said, confused.
He stepped back and passed me.
_”Don't worry, big sister, I'm fine.” He said indifferently.
Jungwon had returned to the manor after his disappearance. According to what he told us, on the day of his disappearance, Jungwon had gone to the river to practise his sword, fell off the pond and was swept away by the current. They then found him unconscious by a noble house, the Vempes, who took care of him for the past month until he recover and could come back to us. 
I never heard about this noble house. Jungwon said they are 6 brothers in this family and the head of the family is actually the older one. They are living in the far East of the Kingdom. 
The days that followed Jungwon's return felt like a surreal blur. His presence lingered in the halls of our family manor, but the vibrant, lively brother I once knew seemed to have left us at the riverbank where he disappeared. In his place stood a stranger, wearing Jungwon's face but not his spirit.
He became a ghost in our home, moving with an eerie silence that echoed through the corridors. The brother who once laughed and practiced his sword diligently now immersed himself in books and scrolls. 
His transformation was unsettling, as if the river had not only swept him away physically but had also carried away the essence of his being. I tried to reach out, to bridge the gap that had emerged between us, but my attempts were met with a stoic indifference that sent shivers down my spine.
The dinners we used to share turned into silent rituals, punctuated only by the clinking of cutlery on porcelain. Jungwon's eyes, once warm and familiar, now held an inscrutable gaze that seemed to penetrate through the very core of my being. It was as if a veil had been drawn over his soul, shielding him from the world.
One evening, I found him in the library, surrounded by ancient tomes and dim candlelight. His eyes were fixed on the text before him, but his mind seemed to be wandering through distant realms. The sight of him hunched over those books, a stark departure from his former self, tore at my heart.
_"Jungwon," I called softly, careful not to startle him. He looked up, and for a moment, I glimpsed a flicker of recognition in his eyes. But it vanished as quickly as it appeared, replaced by the cold, distant gaze that had become his new normal.
_"What happened to you?" I asked, the words escaping my lips before I could censor them.
He closed the book with deliberate slowness, meeting my gaze with an intensity that sent a chill down my spine. "I'm just doing what needs to be done," he replied, his voice devoid of the warmth that once defined it.
The sense of loss deepened as I realized that the brother I had known and loved was slipping away, replaced by a version of him that was a mere shadow of the past. The mystery of his disappearance had been solved, but in its wake, a new enigma had taken root within the very heart of our family.
I hesitated for a moment, watching the flickering candlelight cast shadows on his unreadable expression. The air in the library felt heavy with unspoken tension as I searched for words that could bridge the growing gap between us.
_"What needs to be done?" I questioned, my voice barely above a whisper. "You've changed, Jungwon. Ever since you came back, it's like you're a different person."
He sighed, a sound that seemed to carry the weight of an entire world. "Y/n, the responsibilities that come with being the heir, they're not to be taken lightly. I've realized I can't afford to be the carefree brother I used to be."
_"But that doesn't mean you have to shut me out," I pleaded, my frustration bubbling to the surface. "We've been through everything together. Why this sudden distance?"
Jungwon's gaze remained fixed on the closed book before him, a mask of detachment veiling his features. "You wouldn't understand, Y/n. The burden of leadership is not something you can grasp."
_"I may not be the heir, but I'm still your sister," I retorted, my voice gaining a hint of desperation. "We've faced challenges as a family, and we've always supported each other. Why push me away now?"
He finally looked up, and his eyes bore into mine with an intensity that made me catch my breath. "You don't get it, do you? This is not just about family. The Vempes taught me things, things that matter for the future of our legacy."
_"The Vempes?" I echoed, confusion etching lines on my face. "What did they teach you that turned you into this... stranger?"
He leaned back, folding his arms with an air of finality. "They showed me the importance of knowledge, strategy, and discipline. Qualities I lacked, qualities needed to ensure the prosperity of our family."
I shook my head in disbelief. "Jungwon, you were fine the way you were. You don't need to sacrifice who you are for some idealized version of leadership."
His expression remained impassive, unmoved by my plea. "This is the path I've chosen. I won't let sentimentality cloud my judgment."
A heavy silence settled between us, the words hanging in the air, echoing the irreparable distance that had grown between the brother I once knew and the stranger who now wore his face.
The Vempes remained an enigma, an unsettling puzzle. My curiosity, once a gentle whisper, had grown into a persistent ache, compelling me to dig deeper into the shadows that surrounded their name.
Late into the night, I roamed the vast halls of our mansion, searching for any hidden records, ancient scrolls that might shed light on the mysterious family that had claimed my brother for a month. The library, my sanctuary for solace and knowledge, yielded nothing. No tomes spoke of the Vempes, and the scrolls held no mention of their existence.
It was as if they were a phantom family. The absence of information about them only intensified the unease that had settled in my chest. Families, especially noble ones, were documented meticulously. Yet, the Vempes seemed to exist beyond the reach of such conventions.
Why did the Vempes keep to the shadows? What secrets did their distant home in the far East hold? My frustration mingled with the realization that, in the vast expanse of our mansion's library, the silence about the Vempes was deafening.
The Vempes had claimed to teach my brother essential virtues for our family's legacy, yet their own legacy remained shrouded in silence.
The library was dimly lit, and Jungwon was engrossed in a book, his eyes scanning the pages with an intensity that made me hesitate. The air felt heavy with unspoken tension as I approached, determined to breach the subject that had become an unspoken barrier between us.
_"Jungwon," I started cautiously, "we need to talk about the Vempes."
He closed the book, his expression shifting ever so slightly, a subtle discomfort surfacing. "There's nothing to discuss," he replied, his tone clipped.
_"But there is," I persisted. "You disappeared for a month, and all we know is that the Vempes took you in. I want to understand why they hold such sway over you, why their influence has transformed you into someone I can hardly recognize."
He met my gaze, his eyes guarded. "Some things are better left unexplored, Y/n. The Vempes have their ways, their reasons. It's not a path you want to tread."
Frustration bubbled within me, and I refused to be deterred. "They cared for you for a month, Jungwon. You owe them that much. Why the secrecy? What did they do to you?"
His eyes betrayed a hint of discomfort, but he quickly masked it. "They did what they believed necessary. Now, I have responsibilities to fulfill. That's all that matters."
The distance between us felt like an unbridgeable chasm. "Responsibilities? What did they teach you that turned you into this... stranger?"
He sighed, a weariness settling in his features. "Discipline, strategy, knowledge. Qualities our family lacked, qualities essential for our prosperity."
_"They've changed you," I pressed, desperation creeping into my voice. "You've become someone I can't reach, and I can't stand by without understanding why."
A fleeting expression—was it regret?—crossed his face gone in an instant. "Y/n, the less you know, the better. This is my path, and I won't let you get entangled in its complexities."
The finality in his voice left me with a sinking feeling, the realization that my brother, my confidant, had become a stranger guarding secrets. "Jungwon," I pleaded, my voice barely above a whisper, "I can't watch you disappear like this. Whatever they've done, we should face it together."
He stood, the distance between us growing palpable. "Some paths are meant to be walked alone. This is one of them."
And with those words, he left the library, leaving me behind in the quiet that echoed with unanswered questions and the heavy weight of an unspoken divide. The truth about the Vempes seemed to be a fortress. He had no intention of letting me breach.
The once vibrant streets of the kingdom now echoed with a silent unease. Whispers of fear flitted through the air like shadows, and the once bustling marketplaces were gripped by a palpable tension. The kingdom had become a place of caution and apprehension, a far cry from the lively realm it once was.
Reports of people disappearing and turning up dead with their throats gruesomely slashed had become a haunting reality. Each day, the list of victims grew, leaving behind a trail of horror and a kingdom on edge. The unsettling notion that a shadowy figure lurked in the shadows, preying on the unsuspecting, gnawed at the collective consciousness.
The manner in which these victims were left, drained of blood, sent shivers down my spine. The kingdom had become a dangerous labyrinth, and the walls were closing in. Questions raced through my mind like a tempest: Who could be behind these gruesome acts? What motive could drive someone to commit such heinous crimes?
Theories and suspicions danced in the recesses of my thoughts. Was it an outsider, an infiltrator with a vendetta against the kingdom? Or could it be someone within the court, hidden behind a façade of nobility? The air of uncertainty hung thick, and trust became a fragile commodity in the face of an unknown assailant.
The mansion's corridors echoed with hushed whispers as I passed by a group of maids, their heads bent together in a conspiratorial discussion. Unable to resist eavesdropping, I slowed my steps, catching fragments of their conversation that reverberated through the air like a clandestine melody.
_"...heard they found another one, throat slit just like the others..."
_"Awful, isn't it? And not a drop of blood left in them. It's like they were drained dry."
The weight of the kingdom's collective fear hung in the air, but one particular phrase caught my attention.
_"...vampires, they say. Creatures of the night, feasting on the blood of the living."
A shiver ran down my spine as I heard the word "vampires." It was a fantastical notion, an irrational explanation meant to feed the fears that gripped the maids and, perhaps, the entire kingdom. Vampires, in my pragmatic view, were creatures of myth and legend, not malevolent beings prowling the shadows of our realm.
I continued down the corridor, dismissing the notion as irrational gossip fueled by the escalating fear. Vampires were the stuff of stories, not plausible culprits in a series of murders. The reality, I believed, lay in the tangible world, a world where motives and individuals could be unraveled and understood.
The evening air was thick with tension as our family gathered for dinner. The familiar grandeur of the dining hall seemed to pale beneath the weight of unspoken words. The clinking of silverware against porcelain resonated in the silence, interrupted only by the occasional exchange of guarded glances.
The butler approached my father with an ornate envelope, sealed with an unknow insignia . As the wax seal was broken, a hushed anticipation settled over the room. The contents of the letter were read aloud, revealing an invitation to a grand ball hosted by the Vempes, celebrating their recent establishment in the kingdom.
_"They specifically request our family as honored guests," my father announced, his expression shifting between curiosity and caution. "It seems they consider Jungwon part of their family and wish to see how he's fared since his return."
A subtle chill settled over the room as the words hung in the air. Jungwon's eyes betrayed a flicker of displeasure, an emotion he struggled to conceal. The Vempes' influence, it seemed, reached beyond the realm of our immediate family.
_"I have no interest in attending their ball," Jungwon stated curtly, his voice laced with an undercurrent of resentment.
My mother's eyes flickered toward Jungwon, concern etched on her face. "Jungwon, dear, it's a formal invitation. It would be impolite to decline, especially considering the hospitality they extended to you during your... absence."
Jungwon's jaw tightened, his frustration palpable. "Their hospitality was unnecessary, and this invitation is nothing more than a pretense. I won't play into their hands."
The air in the room grew heavier as Jungwon attempted to dissuade our parents, urging them to reconsider attending the Vempes' ball. His objections were met with gentle dismissals, my parents seemingly captivated by the allure of the invitation.
_"But it's an opportunity to strengthen ties with the Vempes. They've extended a gesture of goodwill, and we shouldn't spurn it," my father reasoned, glancing at Jungwon with a knowing look.
I observed the exchange, torn between my brother's evident discomfort and the diplomatic considerations that seemed to sway my parents. The Vempes, with their mysterious influence and the recent unsettling events in the kingdom, had woven a complex tapestry that ensnared our family.
Jungwon's reluctance persisted, an unspoken tension radiating from him like an invisible force. Despite his objections, the decision had been made. The Vempes' ball loomed on the horizon, a gathering that held promises of both revelation and uncertainty. As the dinner continued, the looming specter of the invitation cast a shadow over our family, and I couldn't shake the feeling that attending the ball might unravel more than just the dance of formalities.
Under the veil of the night, I discreetly slipped away from the confines of the dining hall, clutching the Vempes' invitation in my hand. The flickering candlelight in the corridor illuminated the intricate calligraphy that adorned the parchment. My fingers traced the elegant curves of the writing as I read the words penned by the head of the Vempes family.
---
Dear Esteemed Guests,
It is with great pleasure that the Vempes family extends an invitation to you and your honored family to attend a grand celebration in our newly established residence within the kingdom. As we embark on this new chapter, we find ourselves drawn to the bonds that tie us to those we consider family. We have come to cherish the presence of your son, Jungwon, who, through fate's design, spent a month under our care. In honor of the unity between our families, we invite you to a ball where joyous festivities will abound. This gathering serves not only to commemorate our newfound place in the kingdom but also to renew the bonds between us. Our family, eagerly anticipates the pleasure of your company. We extend our warmest welcome and look forward to sharing an evening of merriment. May this event strengthen the ties that bind us. With utmost sincerity,
Heeseung Vempes
---
The words on the parchment painted a picture of warmth and hospitality, but beneath the polished surface, a subtle undercurrent of intent lingered. It was evident that Heeseung Vempes and his brothers sought more than just a social gathering; they desired news about Jungwon.
The inked script hinted at a genuine interest in our family, particularly Jungwon's well-being. However, as I read between the lines, a lingering suspicion tugged at the corners of my mind. The Vempes, with their intricate dance of family and enigma, seemed to be orchestrating a narrative that transcended the boundaries of mere cordiality.
The day of the ball arrived, shrouded in an air of anticipation that seemed to cling to every guest as they approached the imposing manor of the Vempes. The grand facade of the residence loomed overhead, its architecture both impressive and vaguely unsettling. As we stepped out of the carriage, the evening shadows cast eerie silhouettes, adding an undertone of foreboding to the already ominous atmosphere.
Dressed in a gown of deep red, I couldn't shake the feeling that the color mirrored the subtle unease that settled in my chest. Jungwon, clad in a matching hue, wore an expression of annoyance that seemed to deepen with each passing moment. His discomfort, palpable in the tension that lingered between us, mirrored the aura of the Vempes' manor.
Before we entered the grand hall, my parents issued a stern warning. "Y/n, we expect you to conduct yourself appropriately. Do not create a commotion," my father cautioned, his eyes stern. The unspoken implication hung in the air — any disruption would jeopardize not only our family's reputation but also our delicate ties with the Vempes.
The grand doors swung open, revealing a hall bathed in opulence. The chandeliers cast a warm glow, and the polished marble floors reflected the elegant attire of the assembled guests. However, an unsettling hollowness pervaded the atmosphere, accentuated by the conspicuous absence of the Vempes. The Vempes, the hosts of the evening, were notably absent.
Jungwon's irritation deepened, evident in the furrow of his brow and the tightening of his jaw. He exchanged curt nods with acquaintances, his gaze searching the room for any sign of the elusive hosts.
The ballroom, despite its grandeur, seemed to pulse with an undercurrent of unease. Guests engaged in polite conversation, laughter echoed against the ornate walls, yet an intangible tension lingered in the air. Jungwon remained by my side, his presence a silent reassurance in the midst of the enigmatic gathering.
As the night unfolded, I couldn't shake the unsettling feeling of being observed. A subtle weight hung in the air, an invisible gaze that followed my every move. It was as if unseen eyes traced the contours of my gown, scrutinized the nuances of my expression. The sense of being watched intensified with each step, an eerie awareness that stirred the hairs on the back of my neck.
Jungwon's vigilance did not go unnoticed. His eyes, ever watchful, mirrored the unease I felt. His protective stance was both comforting and disconcerting, a testament to the unspoken understanding that something beyond the surface transpired within the walls of the Vempes' manor.
Amidst the masked dancers and glittering chandeliers, Jungwon's proximity offered solace. His presence, both protective and troubled, hinted at a shared apprehension. Together, we moved through the dance floor, our steps echoing in the cavernous hall, our senses attuned to the enigma that enveloped the night.
From the concealed vantage point of the interior balcony, six shadows loomed against the warm glow of the ballroom below. Their silhouettes, distinct and enigmatic, observed the festivities unfolding beneath them. Yet, their focus was singular, converging on one figure amidst the swirling dancers — Y/n.
Among the six shadows, one stood apart, his gaze fixated on Y/n with an intensity that bordered on predatory. His features were obscured by the dim light, rendering his intentions inscrutable. He watched her, not with the curiosity of a guest, but with the calculated interest of a hunter sizing up its prey.
The others, shrouded in whispered conversations, exchanged words in hushed tones. Their discussions seemed to carry an air of secrecy, as if unraveling a plan known only to the conspirators. Their eyes occasionally flickered toward the lone figure, their intentions veiled in the dance of shadows.
As the mysterious observer continued to scrutinize Y/n, his fellow shadows exchanged glances and murmurs. The air around them crackled with an energy that transcended the ordinary revelry of a ball.
The atmosphere on the interior balcony became charged with an aura of anticipation. The mysterious observer's gaze remained fixed on Y/n, his intentions cloaked in ambiguity.
The hushed whispers among the five shadows intensified, their clandestine conversation taking a more sinister turn. The air around them crackled with an energy that bespoke a shared malevolence, and their eyes gleamed with a devilish glint. Among them, the one who had been observing Y/n with predatory intent emerged as the central figure, the puppet master orchestrating the macabre symphony.
As the conspiratorial murmurs reached their zenith, the shadows exchanged knowing glances, their smiles widening into devilish grins. The atmosphere on the interior balcony became charged with an unsettling anticipation, and a shiver seemed to traverse the collective spine of the shadowy assembly.
The standing figure, with a sinister smile that mirrored his nefarious thoughts, spoke with a lecherous edge, "Should I just take her in the garden and do her like an animal? I just can't wait anymore."
His words hung in the air, laden with an ominous implication that sent a chill through the shadows' conspiratorial circle. The ballroom below, oblivious to the malevolent forces at play, continued its dance of revelry. Unaware to the shadows, a sinister undercurrent pulsed within the shadowy recesses of the Vempes' manor, where the convergence of dark desires hinted at a night that held more than mere celebration.
_”Alright, time to start the show.”

I like to think Bill went through several VERY messy relationships a loooooong time ago and went nope, not doing that again. That being said, he'd probably flirt with people and then insult them because he thinks giving people mixed signals is funny as hell
I choose to believe that bill has refused to learned a single life lesson or evolve as a person since he broke his dimension so he just keeps making the same dumb mistakes. Relationship mistakes included. He had messy relationships a long time ago and by golly he's still having them to this day.
Although on the other hand I don't think he's actively seeking out relationships, either. It's never been a high priority. He's got some VERY disparaging things to say about human romance and i doubt his opinion of non-human romance is *that* much better, even when and if he does participate in it.
That said though: yeah he definitely sends people mixed signals for his own amusement. With flirting or platonic interactions. In particularly i think that when somebody says something, instead of responding with "you're right/you're wrong" or "I agree/I disagree," he hops straight to "hey you're pretty smart!/wow you're so stupid." He'll just reassess your intelligence in real time and update you on your ranking based solely on whether or not he likes what you just said.
He thinks it's his prerogative to assess other people's intelligence because he is, at all times, the smartest person in the room (according to himself).

Hihi! I'm not very active on tumblr but every now and then I'll swing by to read a fic or 2. I'm picky with fics and don't follow alot of writers just search through tags but your work stands out so much to me and as a lee know stan....WOW
Your babysitter fic is one of absolute favourites! Your writing is absolutely perfectly and idk what it is about this fic but it unlocks something Inside of me it's just immaculate.
I terrible with words and explaining things so I apologise. I always wondered what would happen after. Would they end up together? Was it a one time thing? The ending leaves me content and satisfied but I always thought there'd be a great opening for a part 2? (Bc I'm greedy af) 🤣
Anyway thanks for reading my long ass message and thanks for being such an amazing writer 😚 stay safe and take care 💖
Hi!
Don't apologize, you're not terrible with words, I understood everything perfectly! And thank you for leaving such a long message with super kind words. I hope you also take care of yourself and stay safe. Thank you, tons, for all the compliments!
I wrote after hours a while ago, I think I wrote it near the end of 2021. I never actually thought about writing a second part to it, but I guess it is never too late to do so haha. A remake, if you will. If I got some spare time, I'd love to write a silly drabble on it.
In my imagination, I like to believe reader and minho kept on having those encounters for a loooooong time.

hey bestie.
your story "Passing Notes" has been copied and reposted on fanfiction.net
i'm assuming it's not you because the "author" previous stole and reposted one of my stories, once i was told about it we got it reported and it's gone now but now yours is up there.
Passing Notes, a wandavision fanfic | FanFiction
you can go to that page on desktop, scroll to the bottom click "actions" "report abuse" "not the work of the uploading author"
just a heads up! hope you're having a great week otherwise!!
Oh wow, I never would have anticipated that! Thank you so much for letting me know, I’ll get right on that!
Edit: a reports been made, so we’ll see what happens. I’ll be adding a disclaimer about where I post my work to all of my posts over the course of the week both here and on Ao3, which is gonna take a loooooong time.
Thanks again for the heads up! I never would have anticipated ppl would take my work

Got tagged by @yuniemaki, and archons damn it, I'm not ready for this xD
How many works do you have on ao3? Only 4 (and a really old one I anon'ed, so that one doesn't count!)
What's your total ao3 word count? 46,162 and it will increase further this week.
What fandoms do you write for? Currently it's Genshin Impact, though I keep playing with the idea of posting some of my WoW shorts from this blog to my ao3 profile after a quick touch-up.
What are your top 5 fics by kudos? 1. Reckoning With The Past 2. A Lesson In Honesty 3. Of Pain And Priorities 4. Moonlight Rendezvous 5. -
Do you respond to comments? Definitely! I mean, people leaving comments on my stuff is somethign I really appreciate!
What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? I have to disappoint here, all my fics have happy endings. No, I don't plan to change this.
What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending? All my works could qualify for this, considering all of them are 'Angst with a Happy Ending', so I will leave this decision to the readers :D
Do you get hate on fics? I don't want to jinx myself, so I will say 'not yet'... though it's true I turned on comment moderation for my latest fic, so that might've contributed.
Do you write smut? If so, what kind? Nope, and I don't plan to.
Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written? When it comes to fanfics, not yet. Though I got really inspired by a quite enthralling Jeanlisa Elden Ring/Genshin crossover fic, so I might try my hand at including a version of them in my own Elden Ring fic (if I ever get around to writing it).
Have you ever had a fic stolen? No, I'm far from that level (luckily, in this case).
Have you ever had a fic translated? Nope.
Have you ever co-written a fic before? No, and to be honest I don't like the idea that much. It's just too different from roleplay in my eyes.
What's your all time favourite ship? Huh... I actually like too many ships to to pick an all-time no.1., but I can say that my current favorites are mostly Genshin-related.
What's a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will? Huh... well, there is a League of Legends WIP, but it would need serious rewriting and editing, not to mention I'm too interested in other fandoms at the moment to even consider going back to it anytime soon (though who knows what the future will bring).
What are your writing strengths? Huh, do I have any? xD Jokes aside, I've been told I can cause decent emotional damage, so maybe that haha.
What are your writing weaknesses? Proofreading, editing, and loooooong sentences. Oh, and repeating words (mainly names) too often, but I'm working on that one.
Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic? Not really my thing. I have a hard enough time writing in English as is, since it's not my first language, though I admittedly did this in my Clorivia fic: I added probably 2-3 french words, but I think -hope- that the context makes their meaning quite obvious.
First fandom you wrote for? Overall, it would be World of Warcraft. If we only consider ao3, well, it's the anon'ed one, so it shall remain a mystery :D
Favorite fic you've written? Of course this has to be the last question... At the moment it's probbaly 'Of Pain And Priorities', since I'm neck-deep in the whole thing, but I 'just' need to write the final chapter to finish it.
'Kay, I'm not tagging anyone, if you found this interesting and would want to give it a go, consider yourself tagged!

I've been doing some research recently making a script for a possible decent debut youtube video topic and wow. There's so little information about yuri and yuri fandom out there, I've got a few fandom demographic polls, mention of yuri hime demographic surveys with frustratingly few living links to pages with statistics, and some out if date research.
And the research is honestly quite interesting to read. I can't read all of this one paper because it is LOOOOOONG and small font and hurts my eyes, but it showed yuri fandom as a very fragmented place with even opinions on irl lesbianism varying greatly. The way yuri was talked about and appreciated for it's ambiguity by a not insignificant portion of the fandom is interesting, especially given how it's evolved.
I actually didn't double check the date before i read it, but i figured it was pretty old because by now yuri has gotten very explicit about lesbianism. The paper was from 2013. Before bloom into you, at the very beginning of adachi and shimamura, before otherside picnic, citrus had barely begun. There's no way the researcher could've known we were at a precipice but truly the tides were about to change by 2013
Like seriously, i get why citrus was so big now even more. I think bloom into you was the real tipping point, but citrus was definitely a canary for the new era.
I wonder what the results of a similar survey would look like today. I don't doubt there's still anti-gay "fans", those will always exist, but by now yuri continuing into adulthood or dabbling in lesbian subculture are pretty common. Yuri about jealousy and hatred and ugly emotions are also more common
(the survey in question, for reference. I just read from 133 onward)

Imagine being worth 60mln at the age of 16, wtf but hopefully he plays well. Zidane hair era??? For a second I thought it'd be Kaka and that Kaka look alike not his actual son akdhajhsjsgajahaj
Messi acts like Neymar's father what is Neymar gonna do once Messi retires, Neymar retirement era as well? Skshsbahjshababsjshaha
WHO IS THE SPANISH PLAYER PARK SEONGHWA
I've always had this issue with The Blues, I saw them in match a few times and it was during the seasons when they were mostly defending not attacking and it's not like they always played better teams so it was confusing. Well anyways LONDON IS RED so 🤗 Ronaldo at Bayern wow and Man City, Man Utd fans would be thrilled lmao
Tbh I know it's not always easy to check everyone before hiring them, like all the idols who were mean to people at some point, a lot of the situations were kept in secret. Prison League 💀
I spent some time "studying" the royals, so I have a lot of strong opinions about them, maybe that's why. I obviously don't know them personally, but some things are obvious. Hahaha do you think some of the watch The Crown and actually like it? 👀
GOT at Coachella? Hmmm choices, but that would be funny. Shinee at Coachella tho! Or maybe not there since it's trash. Godddd I hate Paris now because they're getting MuBank in April with Skz and then Lolla with Skz as well??? Fuck them Frenchies, after witnessing their behaviour at Fashion Week this year and last year they don't deserve shit 😤 good for Skz, very proud but also 🔫
Unhinged mid/late 2000s tv shows was such an era. And now they released Teen Wolf the movie IT'S SO BAD. Oh I haven't really watched Wizards of Weverly Place, I saw a few episodes but I don't think I was the target audience when it came out. I'm not really a Disney Channel person, except for Zack and Cody and maybe Hannah Montana
Yeah, Baek not to threaten you, but I might send my army of snakes after you if you keep teasing me 😘 uhm a G wagon to pick up girls???
I started the murderous husband webtoon on a different page that has more chapters, cause I had to see what was going on! It's interesting, but idk how to feel about that relationship, we'll see
The NASCAR cartoon was called NASCAR RACERS idk why I watched it
Soohyuk is clearly dating Hoshi lol also don't forget about our wedding soon!
Everything I've learnt about Coleen Hoover was against my will and now Blake, et tu Brute...
Hold on Baeksy, consider this... the question is, why are they enemies, or is it a one sided hatred? How and why did person 1 fall for person 2? So many possibilities!!!
Me for the past few days: ik Hwa has black hair, I need to accept it. Hwa: *shows up with black hair*. Me: WTF IS THIS 😭😭😭😭
EH, ot8 black hair lovers are winning... but oh well. Now if Seonghwa cuts his hair (99% sure he trimmed it already :/) and gets an under cut I'm gonna have a bigger problem. MILF SEONGHWA COME BACK PLS, L O N G HAIR PLS!!!!!
This idc for my kpop men looking like regular people 😫 they have black hair every 10 minutes what's there to miss. The only way to win me over with black hair is when the hair is loooooong long. And I literally had a dream about him in this colour, I know he had it for a while, but it's time to bring it back me thinks
I need more selcas. Also a missed opportunity to dye it a different colour, but I understand his scalp was damaged :( Seonghwa gives so much, but then he has to take it away...
AND MINGI 🤧🤧🤧🤧
Not him being 👉👈 about the cat beanie photos, best believe once the photos drop I'm gonna eat all my walls!!!
God Pique is so embarrassing what a clown. SO PRETTY YOUR DAUGHTER JSJSHSBANSHAHAH no bc if she was 3 years younger it'd make her 15 years younger and I know some people become parents at the age if 15, so imagine him as her father.... yikes
Oh yes they're right
Also not me not recognising Ateez at Eden's wedding, I especially couldn't recognise Hwa IT'S THE FUCKING HAIR IT'S NOT CLICKING FOR ME. Maddox is my new bias, because his hair aaaaaa. But Seonghwa talking about crying at the wedding, that's my boomer baby boy - DV 💖
hello!!!
Imagine being worth 60mln at the age of 16, wtf but hopefully he plays well. Zidane hair era??? For a second I thought it'd be Kaka and that Kaka look alike not his actual son akdhajhsjsgajahaj
YEAH AT THE AGE OF 16??? i was worrying about my exams and this bro out here earning millions 😭😭 he does, plays super well! his story is quite sad but his motivation is mental, he’s mbappe fast, maybe even faster and he’s only 16! hopefully he does not get injured!! LMFAOOOO FOR A MOMENT I WAS EXPECTING KAKA LOOKALIKE AND WAS SURPRISED IT WAS HIS ACTUAL ONE, his looks still >> zidane hair might not grow! he’s got 4 teams, rm, psg, juventus & bayern wanting him now 😭😭
Messi acts like Neymar's father what is Neymar gonna do once Messi retires, Neymar retirement era as well? Skshsbahjshababsjshaha
he really does, thiago messi who? it’s neymar messi actually 🤚🏻I THINK HE WOULD ACTUALLY he’s been wanting to bc njr said he can’t handle the media pressure anymore 😭😭 hopefully he retires w the wc trophy 😭😭
WHO IS THE SPANISH PLAYER PARK SEONGHWA
SINCE HE SAID THAT I HAVE TWO HYPOTHESES, 1 IF THAT SPANISH PLAYER PLAYS IN THE NATIONAL TEAM THEN ITS FERNANDO TORRES OR PEDRO 🤚🏻 I THINK ITS TORRES
I've always had this issue with The Blues, I saw them in match a few times and it was during the seasons when they were mostly defending not attacking and it's not like they always played better teams so it was confusing. Well anyways LONDON IS RED so 🤗 Ronaldo at Bayern wow and Man City, Man Utd fans would be thrilled lmao
yEAAAHHH the players are underperforming also the tensions w the coach and the head,,, spending MILLIONS in transfer windows atp they’re collecting players like pokémon but those players are not doING SHIT!!!! tuchel should have never left, mourinho is the only hope but i doubt he might come back,,, MAN CITYS CATCHING UP ALVAREZ IS COMING FOR UR REDS 😭😭😭 atp i think cristiano would like to go the man utd too but at least it’s said he’s gonna retire at rm 😭😭
Tbh I know it's not always easy to check everyone before hiring them, like all the idols who were mean to people at some point, a lot of the situations were kept in secret. Prison League 💀
yeah! it’s not easy but at least the bare minimum works 😭😭😭 sometimes a pretty face can get those idols anywhere, to the point of hiding insane stuff,, PRISON LEAGUE FBWKDBWM it’s not world cup, it’s prison wars <3
I spent some time "studying" the royals, so I have a lot of strong opinions about them, maybe that's why. I obviously don't know them personally, but some things are obvious. Hahaha do you think some of the watch The Crown and actually like it? 👀
OOOOOOOO with ur info, who do u think is the better one out of them all? who’s the worst? and who’s ok? i do like philip’s humor he seems like the funny, blunt type of person fbfb i think harry confirmed they see the crown 💀 charles also said he doesn’t mind it but thinks ppl might take the fictional part not seriously and think it’s real dbdb i know edward and sophie love it and made the queen watch it for funsies but she thought some parts were dramatized, i guess we can say they have some sort of humour fbfbf i bet no one watched the diana season 🧍🏻‍♀️🧍🏻‍♀️
GOT at Coachella? Hmmm choices, but that would be funny. Shinee at Coachella tho! Or maybe not there since it's trash. Godddd I hate Paris now because they're getting MuBank in April with Skz and then Lolla with Skz as well??? Fuck them Frenchies, after witnessing their behaviour at Fashion Week this year and last year they don't deserve shit 😤 good for Skz, very proud but also 🔫 //// Unhinged mid/late 2000s tv shows was such an era.

I'm not really a Disney Channel person, except for Zack and Cody and maybe Hannah Montana
yEAAHH GOT AT COACHELLA would be quite polarizing no? the songs would 😵‍💫😵‍💫the audience might find it pretty interesting to listen to all of that,,, SHINEE AT COACHELLA WOULD BE PERFECT, BRUNG OUT VIEW AND TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND ALL THE DANCE POP 😭😭 sm would never, they never sent exo when they were invited, im convinced they’ll never send their bg’s,,, NAURRR WILL U BE GOING?? yeah no the behaviour at the pfw was 😬 maybe lfw would be better

A/N: Oh, damn, she do be a short one! Also, IW feels and spoilers (if for some reason you still haven’t seen it, and if so, get on that shit!). Also also, crap. I have to rewatch Endgame to be able to write the next few parts. Imma go scream into the abyss real quick. Enjoy! (And just a quick note: the Not-Chitauri are actually called Outriders according to the MCU Wiki, but there’s no way any of the characters in the story (Stephanie in particular as it’s her POV) would know that, so when it says “Not-Chitauri”, just know that they’re called Outriders)

Status Report:
Where was I? Oh, yeah. Aliens were invading Wakanda, I got a new suit (three of them, actually), I didn’t knock Steve into the next millennium… yeah, I think we’re all caught up here. I’m sorry for the wait. Things got really intense, and I couldn’t bring myself to write for a while (you’ll understand why later). Now, on to the good stuff.
ANYWAY, all of us loaded onto these hover-boat things (Wakandan technology is truly amazing), and Rose said, “How we looking, Bruce?”, into her earpiece, so he replied, “Yeah, I think I’m getting the hang of it,” then flew past the boat me and Steve were standing on and landing while letting out an excited yelp because he was ironically wearing the Hulk Buster armor from the Wanda Fiasco during the Ultron thing, which was actually kind of cute.
He said, “Wow! This is amazing, man! It’s like being the Hulk without actually-…,” then proceeded to trip over a large rock and face plant into the dirt, making me let out a snort and Okoye shoot a judgmental look at him as her boat passed (I wanna be like her when I grow up). He said he was okay, then Rhodey and Sam flew overhead, Rhodey saying, “I’ve got two heat signatures breaking through the tree line,” as the two of them went to join the large Wakandan army awaiting orders.
A larger man whom I was told was named M'Baku was leading who I assumed were the Jabari in a tribal chant (Jess gave me a rundown of Wakanda’s LOOOOOONG history on FaceTime once), then he quieted them to shake hands with T'Challa, who said, “Thank you for standing with us,” and M'Baku replied, “Of course, brother,” in Xhosa, the language of Wakanda (I’ve been learning, but I can only understand simple phrases so far). The girl alien from before and a beefy (presumably) male alien walked right up to the barrier, so Steve, Nat, T'Challa, and I walked down to greet them. Nat said, “Where’s your other friend?”, referring to the alien she stabbed in the train station, and the girl replied, “You will pay for his life with yours. Thanos will have that stone,” so Steve said, “That’s not gonna happen,” me adding, “Not in a million light years, Girlfriend.”
T'Challa said, “You are in Wakanda now. Thanos will have nothing but dust and blood,” so the girl said, “We have blood to spare,” then lifted her spear with a grunt, and the giant ship things started moving. Our little group joined the rest of the army, and Bucky said, “They surrender?”, so Steve said, “Not exactly,” then T'Challa began to lead the Wakandans in a Xhosa chant when he noticed movement in the trees. All at once, a whole heard of aliens burst through the trees and came charging towards the barrier. Jess said, “What the hell?”, and Nat said, “We must’ve pissed her off,” which made me smirk slightly. The aliens (which were definitely not Chitauri, because they were bigger and nastier looking, though they did look similar) tried to claw through the barrier, but that either rid them of their limbs or their torsos (obviously killing them, which was not a pleasant thing to witness).
Okoye said, “They’re killing themselves,” then a few of them started making it through the barrier, so T'Challa told his warriors to arm themselves, then they opened fire on the Not-Chitauri (that’s the best name I could come up with for them) with their electric spears, Bucky and Bruce joining in with an automatic rifle and repulsor rays respectively while Sam flew in overhead and deployed his drones to thin out the crowd. He yelled, “You see the teeth on those things?”, and Rhodey said, “All right, back up, Sam. You’re gonna get your wings singed,” then dropped some bombs on them, causing those who hadn’t made it through the barrier to start circling around the outside.
Bruce said, “Cap, if these things circle the perimeter and get in behind us… there’s nothing between them and Vision,” so Steve replied, “Then we better keep ‘em in front of us,” and Okoye asked, “How do we do that?”, making T'Challa say, “We open the barrier,” before touching his earpiece and saying, “On my signal, open North-West Section 17,” with a determined look on his face. I heard a woman say over the line, “Requesting confirmation, My King. You said open the barrier?”, and he repeated, “On my signal,” prompting M'Baku to say, “This will be the end of Wakanda,” earning Okoye’s response of, “Then it will be the noblest ending in history,” and a smirk from me. Steve opened his new shield gloves (which looked pretty badass), T'Challa shouted at his warriors to put down their shields in Xhosa, then shouted in English, “Wakanda forever!”, and put on his mask, so all of the warriors let out a battle cry, and everyone started charging towards the barrier.
I saw a sliver of barrier open, and both Steve and T'Challa charged ahead before jumping over a small river and starting their attacks, so I went icy and flew around shooting ice spears at the approaching hoard of Not-Chitauri, occasionally landing and fighting melee style the old fashioned way, my new suit accommodating my movements and powers just as Shuri said it would (which felt awesome). I noticed an alien knocked Bucky’s rifle away and was about to get him, so I went icy and bodychecked the sucker away from him before stabbing it through the head and heart with icicles. I helped him up, and he said, “Thanks, Steph,” so I replied, “No problem, Buckaroo,” and mock-saluted before going off on my own again.
Eventually, all of our strongest fighters (including myself) were getting dog-piled by the aliens, and Bruce yelled, “There’s too many of them!”, but just when we thought we were goners, a familiar-looking rainbow exploded onto the scene, then an ax lit up with electricity flew out of it and took down a whole bunch of the suckers, freeing up me, Steve, Bruce, and T'Challa. The rainbow faded away to reveal Thor with short hair, an anthropomorphic tree, and a raccoon standing on its hind legs while holding a large gun and wearing a shirt and pants. I flew over to Steve to help him up, then Bruce laughed while yelling, “You guys are so screwed now!”, which made me roll my eyes, even though there was a smile a mile wide on my face. Thor yelled, “Bring me Thanos!”, then sprinted forward and showed off some power that I didn’t even know he had, but I wasn’t going to complain about it.
Steve and I were kicking some ass while Thor was slicing and dicing with his new ax nearby, so when we had a little bit of a break, Steve said, “New haircut?”, and Thor replied, “Notice you’ve copied my beard,” while gesturing to his own, making Steve gesture at his in a “yeah” kind of way. I smiled and said, “Glad to have you back, Thor,” so he said, “Glad to be back, Lady Stephanie,” then smiled back before saying, “By the way, this is a friend of mine, Tree,” and gesturing at the walking tree I mentioned earlier with his ax, who happened to have his arm impaled through three aliens. The tree thing yelled, “I am Groot!”, so Steve (ever the polite one), gestured to himself and me while he said, “I am Steve Rogers. And this is Stephanie Carter,” making me wave slightly and say, “Hello,” only slightly confused by the fact that there was a talking tree (I’ve dealt with weirder things in the last 6 years, believe me).
Gigantic wheel things (I honestly have no idea what they were, but they were terrifying as shit) broke through the ground and started plowing through everything, so I flew up and tried to push them away from the army, but to no avail. I joined Okoye and Nat in their fighting, and just when we were about to be plowed over, Wanda came out of nowhere and stopped the wheel things that were coming at us with her powers. A hoard of Not-Chitauri started coming for us, but she threw her arms behind her and sent the wheel things at them instead. Nat and I smirked, and Okoye put her spear down while saying, “Why was she up there all this time?”, with an unamused look on her face, which made me laugh slightly (again, I want to be her when I grow up).
Sam said, “Guys, we got a Vision situation here,” and Steve said, “Somebody get to Vision!”, so Bruce said, “I got him!”, and Wanda said, “On my way,” before getting hit in the face by the girl alien. The girl said, “He’ll die alone. As will you,” so Nat said, “She isn’t alone,” making her look up to see me, Nat, and Okoye surrounding her. I held myself in a fighting stance and said, “No one messes with my daughter and gets away with it. Especially not an extraterrestrial bitch,” making her let out a battle cry before starting her assault.
I heard Bruce say, “Guys! Vision needs backup now!”, but I was preoccupied with the girl alien and couldn’t respond. Eventually, all three of us were knocked down, but I got back up to keep fighting only to be pinned to the ground with a sword at my neck. Wanda lifted her off of me just in time, and into an oncoming wheel thing, killing her instantly and splattering me in the face with blue blood. I sat up slightly, then after breathing hard for a couple of seconds, I said, “Okay, that was gross,” making Wanda and Nat let out slight chuckles.
She left to go find Vision, then I heard Steve say over comms, “Everyone, on my position. We have incoming,” so we all found Steve in a little grove of trees, and all of them were moving even though there wasn’t any wind, which made Nat say, “What the hell?”, and me say, “You said it, Sister,” her smirking slightly in response. A portal opened up, then a giant, bald, purple man wearing a golden gauntlet on his very large left hand stepped through it, making an icy chill run through me at the realization that the new challenger was Thanos (kind of ironic, but whatevs).
Bruce said, “Cap. That’s him,” so Steve opened his shields again and said, “Eyes up. Stay sharp,” before all of us charged him. He made Bruce phase through him and into the rocks with the Space Stone, sent Steve to the side with the Power Stone, then caught T'Challa by the throat and sent him to the ground with a punch to the head, which made me realize how juiced up on the Stones Thanos really was. I only looked over my shoulder for half a second to see Wanda using her magic on Vision’s stone, and my heart broke for her before I turned my focus back to Thanos.
He sent Sam spiraling to the ground, he almost turned Rhodey into a pancake, he sent Bucky, Jess, and Okoye flying, he pinned me and Nat under rock spires (which wasn’t very fun), and he broke free of Groot’s tree roots. Steve charged in to go toe-to-toe with him, and he managed to hold the gauntlet open for a solid 15 seconds before getting socked in the face and crumpling to the ground, which made me let out a sob, because there was no way he could have survived a hit that hard right in the face, even if he was a super soldier.
Wanda managed to destroy the Mind Stone, but Thanos used the Time Stone to undo it, making me smack my head against the ground in defeat, but while he did that, Bruce was removed from the rocks, the rocks trapping Nat and I were taken away, and Steve definitely wasn’t dead (though I wasn’t completely sure that he had died in the first place, because I couldn’t get up and check due to the rocks that were on top of me). He ripped the stone out of Vision’s head after knocking Wanda away, and I felt my blood turn to actual ice and my stomach churn when I saw the color drain from Vision’s body quicker than you could blink.
Thanos dropped Vision’s body on the ground and put the stone in his gauntlet, then after a few seconds, he got hit in the chest with lightning, making me smile slightly. Thor chucked his ax at him, and even though Thanos used all six stones to try and hold it back, the ax kept going and lodged itself in Thanos’ chest (that’s one powerful weapon there (no offense to Mjölnir, wherever she might be)). Just when I thought it was over, Thanos lifted his arm, then snapped his fingers, making my eyes widen at the thought of what he could have done with that snap.
The gauntlet started smoking, and Thor said, “What did you do? What did you do?!”, but Thanos teleported away without saying anything, leaving no trace of his presence except for the purple blood stain on Thor’s ax (ew). I ran over to help Steve up, and he said to Thor, “Where’d he go? Thor. Where’d he go?”, then I heard Bucky say, “Steve?”, so both he and I turned to see Bucky disintegrate right in front of our eyes, making Jess freeze with a look of horror on her face.
She said, “Bucky?! No!”, then knelt where his ashes were before starting to cry. She sobbed, “I just got you back! I just got you back!”, then looked up at me with tears streaming down her face and said, “Steph? What just happened?!”, before she disintegrated as well, her ashes mixing with Bucky’s, making my blood start running cold again because I just started realizing that Thanos’ endgame was much more sinister than I had first thought. Steve and I knelt where our friends had once been, put a hand on the ground each, then shot confused and broken looks at Thor, who still said nothing.
I heard Okoye shouting in Xhosa and Rhodey calling Sam’s name, then I heard Wanda weakly say, “Mom?” (which scared me enough as it is because I’ve never asked her to call me Mom before), so I turned to see that she was kneeling by Vision’s corpse with an utterly defeated and heartbroken look on her face. She started disintegrating, too, making me whisper, “Wanda?”, get up, and sprint over to her, but I was too late, and she dissolved into a pile of ash, making me kneel where she once had, put my hands on the ground, whisper, “No…,” and start sobbing quietly.
Steve came to my side, then after rolling Vision’s body over, he plopped down on the ground beside me and pulled me onto his lap in a vain attempt to comfort me. Nat came sprinting over, but she stopped dead at the sight of Vision’s body. Rhodey said, “What is this? What the hell is happening?”, but Steve could only say, “Oh, God,” while I kept sobbing silently into his chest because I was so broken that his loving embrace that usually calmed me down wasn’t helping at all. That’s gonna be all for now. Bye, everyone.

Twice, Loona, Exid, NCT
twice
my first bias: i think it was chaeyoung. it was a short and slight attempt after the twice official lineup was announced and i saw a pretty fantaken picture of her on my dash.
your current bias and why: i actually have a top 3. nayeon, mina and jihyo. nayeon for being so playful and genuine, mina because she’s so soft and precious and jihyo because she’s truly one of the most caring kpop leaders out there.
favourite song: okay, i’ll try to pick just one. i think i’ll go with love line.
favourite mv: i like the mv for candy pop lmfao.
otp: hmm. not sure if i have one? i don’t really ship anyone.
member you think has the best smile: jihyo. god jihyo definitely. she’s got a million dollar smile, for real.
favourite choreography: do it again. it’s their most fun choreography in my opinion and man, i’d love love love love to see twice one day with another concept like that.
favourite era: i think knock knock? it was super short, but knock knock is still their best title track imo. and it only showed just what an amazing start they’ve settled for 2017.
do you own any merchandise: yes! i have 5 albums actually. both twicecoaster albums, signal, twicetagram and merry & happy. one version from each of course lmao.
have you seen them live: nope. sadly. MAYBE ONE DAY.
favourite voice/singer: jungyeon. she’s got a very strong and stable voice, at least that’s how in sounds in the studio (i never care about live singing when it comes to kpop idols). it’s very clean, it stands out and it’s no wonder that so many people think that she’s actually twice’s voice.
favourite dancer: momo, absolutely. not only that, but she’s probably my most favourite from all the new dancers this younger generation of groups has brought.
loona
my first bias: it was hyunjin, i believe.
your current bias and why: sometimes i have doubts about who’s truly number one, so i’ve decided to wait until their finally debut as ot12. at the moment, the strongest candidates are jinsoul, yves and chuu.
favourite song: love letter.
favourite mv: sweet crazy love.
otp: no, i don’t ship anyone here either.
member you think has the best smile: chuu. well, it’s mostly a huge and bright grin that could potentially blind you. 10/10.
favourite choreography: the girl front dance is still the best one.
favourite era: well… despite so many solos and sub-units, i kinda consider them to be one huge era, the pre-debut one. so yeah, it’s my fave at the moment, it’s the only era we’ve been through so far.
do you own any merchandise: nope. they’ve got so many albums, ofc i cannot buy all of them. and i can’t make up my mind on whose solo single album to get. maybe when i decide on a bias.
have you seen them live: nope. but it seems blockberry creative is VERY aware of the international attention they have. wouldn’t be surprised to see them having concerts outside korea very quickly into their career.
favourite voice/singer: uhhh so far no one has blown me away with their vocals. they’re decent singers, some are obviously more talented in other areas, but i enjoy kimlip’s voice the most.
favourite dancer: i’ve seen fancams of heejin dancing from mixnine and she’s pretty good, so i guess i’ll go with her.
exid
my first bias: hani.
your current bias and why: junghwa. i don’t really have a deep reason for this, i just think the DDD era was awesome for her. and because i had her solo song, alice, on repeat for quite a while.
favourite song: tie between alice and cream.
favourite mv: probably ah yeah.
otp: none.
member you think has the best smile: oh. hmm. not sure if anyone’s smile ever stood out for me in this group. they’re all cute tho.
favourite choreography: ah yeah.
favourite era: i’m gonna say up & down because that’s what finally brought them the popularity and success they wanted in korea.
do you own any merchandise: no, i don’t feel the need to with this group.
have you seen them live: nope.
favourite voice/singer: hyerin. i find her better, more stable and more pleasant to listen to, more than i ever expected. and she deserves a lot more credit for her singing.
favourite dancer: junghwa… is technically the dancer, but… ? hani just has a way of dancing that’s bound to catch your attention.
nct
my first bias: johnny. i was super excited when he debuted in nct 127 because he was the only smrookie who i knew and liked.
your current bias and why: yuta. dumbass answer? i actually had a random dream about him like a week ago. i think he was my classmate and deskmate? yeah, we were in high school. oh btw, you showed up in the dream too lmfao. and when i woke up, my brain was of course fixated on him, it’s just.. very strange. a more serious answer… idk. he’s so cute and playful, tho i admit i was wary of him at first. i knew some nct fans who didn’t like him and insisted he’s nothing but a jerk who bullies the other members, especially the younger ones? but dunno, i don’t see it. he’s got a very cute personality actually. and yes, i’ve been watching nct life and other stuff, it’s all i did this weekend. ok, i admit. caught red-handed.
favourite song: i’ve had cherry bomb on repeat for a few days now, but i think 0 mile is still my fave.
favourite mv: cherry bomb.
otp: no one.
member you think has the best smile: yutaaa, they don’t say he’s got a healing smile for nothing. i mean, just watching the touch mv is enough to convince anyone.
favourite choreography: cherry bomb.
favourite era: uhhh… probably the current one? bringing together all subunits, debuting new guys and so on, it’s a very brave and risky project but they’re managing it pretty well.
do you own any merchandise: yes, but it didn’t arrive yet lol. i bought cherry bomb and both versions of their new album, empathy. wishing myself luck to pull some good cards, otherwise i got lots of trades to initiate on twitter.
have you seen them live: nope. one can only hope. kcon london? i know it’s not an exciting country, but it’s the one i am living in rn. kcon bucharest will never happen so.
favourite voice/singer: not a singer, but a rapper actually. i like mark’s voice. i like his rapping. he’s so good, so so so good for an sm idol. he’s totally setting new standards.
favourite dancer: it’s actually super difficult to pick one, especially after i watched some black on black performances too. at first glance, they all seem to be main dancers, no kidding.

Birch!
birch: how do you cope with loss?
“Drinking,” it’s the easy answer, but not the most honest one. “I drink a lot when I’m in mourning. Not all the time, but a lot. Drinking is the easiest way of coping. Pour a glass of whiskey, drink it out of the bottle, doesn’t matter to me.”
Then there’s a soft smile on his face, fingers rubbing together, plucking at the hem of his pants like one would pluck at the strings of a guitar. “Of course, there’s always playing music. There’s nothing in the world like it. Sitting there, playing a song that means something to you, a song that makes you really feel things. A song that reminds you of the person you lost.”
In his mind, Coltrane plays, Duke Ellington on the piano, and Kate stands next to his couch, watching him as he sits with the bottle of whiskey in hand, his tumbler long forgotten. The hole in her forehead is hardly noticeable with how much he’s had to drink.
“Really DiNozzo,” she’s scolding him. She’s always scolding him. “Drinking again. Is that how you’re going to honor my memory? By drinking it away?”
“Well Kate, you always did accuse me of being nothing but a Frat Boy.” He takes another swig from the bottle, smile wry as he stares at her, the saxophone in the background soothing him. “What’s more ‘Frat Boyish’ than drinking away your memory?”
“Very cute, DiNozzo. Why don’t you do something with yourself. Honor my memory.”
He breaks out of the memory just as suddenly as he went into it, shaking his head. “There’s always art, when I’m in the mood for it. I draw. Paint, sometimes. I like to really get into it, express myself. It’s abstract, mostly, my paintings, but my drawings, those aren’t. I’m a sketch artist, see. I draw faces. I’m real good at drawing the faces of my team. You should see the ones I have of-” he cuts off, another memory slamming into him.
“What’s this?” He plucks the sketchbook out of Kate’s hands, laughing with glee when he sees an excellent portrait of himself. “Wow, Kate, you really captured my good side.”
“Give it back, DiNozzo,” Kate snaps, standing up from her desk and holding her hand out demandingly. “I’m practicing my sketches. Gibbs told me to draw the team.”
“Sure he did, Kate. Well, let me tell you, this is excellent work. Really, just great stuff. Can I keep this?”
He blinks it away. “Sometimes I compose music,” he admits quietly, his fingers once more plucking at the seam of his pants. “I play plenty of instruments. Why not compose my own music? There won’t be any orchestras playing a DiNozzo original anytime soon, but I’m not half bad.”
He’s never played anything of his for anyone living. Kate’s heard it, every night since she died. That’s when he started on her first piece. There’ve been more since then, piece after piece dedicated to Kate, to Gibbs, to McGee and Ziva, to Abby and Ducky, and even to Palmer. He’s written pieces for the Director, both Jenny and Vance. He can’t help it. When he’s angry, when he’s happy, when he’s sad, when he’s in mourning. Doesn’t matter what emotion he’s feeling. He processes them by composing.
“That’s it. That’s how I mourn.”

the thing that fucks me up the most about those stories where a large part of the appeal is the overwhelming memory of childhood friendships is that. i didnt really learn how to have friends until long after childhood. the kids i palled around with when i was twelve barely knew me; i barely knew how to be known. we saw each other at school and maybe once or twice a year id go over to their houses. we couldn’t have fought monsters together. we were acquaintances. i was too alien to those kids for them to figure out what to do with me and i grew up convinced that none of the kids around me really wanted to get to know me (and i get it. i was weird. they probably didn’t. kids notice things that are weird and dont always want to figure them out). then once i was old enough to want desperately to fit in i eschewed the friendships available to me with the other outcast-type kids because i knew it wouldn’t get me any of the social clout i still wasnt getting by ignoring them. im still not very good at both making and keeping friends, or at least, keeping in consistent contact with friends. my childhood crush wouldnt kill a demon for me. he literally never heard me speak. 
and so for me the thing that really makes me go out of my mind when i read those kinds of stories is that. i always wanted friends like the kids in the books i read had. because i did read, and all the kids i read about when i was twelve had ride-or-die groups of stone-cold weirdos that they somehow found and loved. took me until i was almost leaving high school to really get a handle on friendship at all. so i loved the idea of that sort of thing, but for half of my life it was vicarious. you never really have friends like the ones you did when you were twelve. jesus, i hope not. i hope i have better.
