“𝐮 𝐮𝐩? (𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬… 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐡 𝐭𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐬)”

a/n: thank you!!! i decided to turn them into multi-character headcanons lol

also isn’t reo like… the only canonically smart academic student out of all of the blue lock boys or am i missing someone

(i don't know art credits sorry)

ft. isagi yoichi, itoshi rin, nagi seishiro, kaiser michael, mikage reo, chigiri hyoma, bachira meguru, itoshi sae

isagi yoichi

you’re always one mark ahead of him, and it kills him.

stays up rewatching the lecture recordings at 1.5x speed just to prove a point.

always “accidentally” sits next to you in study groups so he can “check your notes for comparison” (aka secretly tries to figure out how the hell you understood that derivation so easily).

keeps it respectful, but once he beats your score? he turns and gives you the smuggest little smile.

“guess i’m top of the class this time, huh?”

his ears go pink when you glare back at him. he lives for it.

itoshi rin

hates how your handwriting is always neat and your answers are always right.

claims he doesn’t care, but if you do even slightly better than him, he studies twice as hard the next week.

his pride gets bruised every time the professor compliments you.

“your essay lacked proper citation structure.”

oh? okay rin. yours lacked a heart.

he doesn’t admit he likes the tension between you two until you start arguing about shakespeare in front of the whole class.

it’s not a love confession, but the moment he actually agrees with your interpretation? that’s the closest he’ll get.

nagi seishiro

couldn’t care less until you started mocking him for sleeping through class.

now he’s determined to beat you out of sheer spite.

“ugh… guess i gotta actually open the textbook now.”

still acts lazy, but secretly studies at night just to come back and say “look, i got a 98. that’s higher than yours, right?”

teases you by stretching and yawning right after acing a quiz.

lowkey enjoys the way you huff and accuse him of guessing (he didn’t. he crammed).

you catch him writing your initials in the margins of his notes one day and he plays it off like he’s doodling.

kaiser michael

academic rivalry? no. it’s academic war.

“you breathe like someone who gets second place.”

calls you “valedictorian” like it’s an insult.

raises his hand just to challenge everything you say.

will literally hold a grudge if you score higher than him on a test.

once snatched your paper off the stack and announced your grade out loud in front of everyone.

but also corners you after class like “how do you study? seriously.”

starts showing up to the library when you’re there. not to study. just to sit across from you and smirk every time you sigh.

mikage reo

flirts while competing.

“wow, you’re smart and cute. must be hard carrying the class on your back.”

you roll your eyes, but he keeps track of your test scores like it’s a stock market.

buys the same books as you just so he can “study together.”

makes friendly wagers like “if i beat your score, you owe me coffee” (you always end up going anyway).

secretly highlights your notes in matching colors to his.

if you beat him, he throws his head back and dramatically sighs like “fine, i’ll accept defeat. but only if you tutor me... over dinner.”

chigiri hyoma

quiet competitiveness with sharp precision.

always acts unbothered, but you see him clench his jaw when he sees your name above his.

his handwriting is beautiful. his notes are elite. you secretly borrow them.

hates group projects but will tolerate them if you’re in his group.

the kind of person who finishes the exam first just to shake you a little.

starts leaving anonymous sticky notes in your locker with corrections to your essays.

one day you call him out, and he shrugs and says, “didn’t want you to lose to me because of grammar.”

bachira meguru

the chaotic academic rival.

always somehow scores as high as you despite turning in assignments with doodles and half the word count.

“you think too hard, that’s why i beat you.”

constantly pokes you in class and whispers answers before the teacher calls on you.

always calls you “my rival” in a dramatic voice.

brags about beating you by 0.5 points like it’s a gold medal.

but gets really quiet and pouty when you beat him, just sulks with his head on the desk.

you give him candy as a peace offering and he’s instantly back to grinning.

itoshi sae

the worst kind of academic rival because he’s effortlessly brilliant.

doesn’t even care about class ranking, but still manages to beat you every time.

you’re grinding late at night, red-eyed and over-caffeinated, and he’s over there casually reading the material once and acing the test.

“you’re studying again? that’s cute.”

always acts like he forgot there was an exam, then gets the highest score.

you confront him about it and he just tilts his head, “maybe you’re just not that smart.”

(he’s bluffing. he notices every time you beat him by even a fraction of a point, and it pisses him off more than he lets on.)

once handed your paper back to you in class with a smirk and said “you missed question 6” even though you definitely got it right.

the kind of rival who looks at you across the room during test return like it’s a silent challenge.

one day you stay late to study and he’s there too, already in the back, headphones in, flipping through notes.

neither of you say a word… but you both stay until closing time.

you catch him glancing at your notes. he catches you glancing at him.

“don’t fall in love with me just because i’m smarter than you.”

you throw an eraser at his head.

Scorpio Moons Are Always the Villains.....Right? Or Did You Just Need One?

"Jennie's lazy." | "Beyonce's in the Illuminati." | "J.Lo doesn't even sing." | "Ice Spice is just a meme."

These are things that have been stated multiple times in the case of these Scorpio Moon musicians. Whether or not you agree with those statements isn't the main point for today's post. I'm here to point out a pattern that I have noticed in Scorpio Moon celebrities.

Scorpio Moon celebs, especially women, are uniquely villainized in the public eye. Not just because of what they do, but because of the energy they give off and who they are. They're powerful, private, and unique. Whether they're deeply misunderstood or genuinely problematic, society reacts with projections, suspicion, and obsession. They immediately accuse them of being cold, manipulative, and sneaky. But I am also gonna include a small lesson in Evolved vs Unevolved Scorpio Moons.

How Scorpio Moons Behave

Scorpio Moons are usually deep, intuitive, passionate, captivating, powerful, mysterious, and creative. We feel emotions deeply and don't trust others easily. It's difficult to truly know us because of how private we are. We have strong intuitive abilities that allow us to perfectly read rooms, sense people's true motives, and live without needing approval. But at our worst, we could become too paranoid, easily hold grudges, withdraw emotionally, and have a fear of being vulnerable. To the outside world, we are usually seen as deceptive, cold, intense, and misleading. That image alone is enough to provoke suspicion and resentment, especially in the public light.

How Fame & Notoriety Affect Scorpio Moons

We already know that being famous is difficult. It can strip away your privacy, morals, willpower, and it's all about competition. People will create their own narratives of you and act like they know you. Scorpio moons are not gonna be able to deal with this easily because they will be more restrictive to what they talk about and what they post online. The only time you'll ever hear from them is if they're dropping a new song or movie trailer. This is why they're seen as fake and calculated. But they're just trying to protect the important parts of themselves that they know fame will devour.

People will become suspicious of their quietness. People could overanalyze their facial expressions. People could say their confidence is threatening and "stuck-up". People could say their boundaries are arrogance. People could think they're hiding something because they don't explain certain things or give the fans what they want.

Beyonce

Beyonce is one of the most celebrated and awarded performers of all time. She has built a legacy on talent, perfectionism, and near-perfect control of her image. She rarely gives interviews. She releases music on her own time. She rarely, if ever, explains herself and gives the public the reaction they want from her at certain times. Things like this have fueled the public's suspicion of her and backlash she's received.

One particular incident that I remember was about her being criticized for using a pre-recorded track while performing at Barack Obama's Inauguration in 2013. She said she didn't wanna risk singing live because she didn't have time to practice with the band and since it was such an important event, she didn't wanna risk it. She was severely dragged for this.

Over the years, she's also been accused of being apart of the Illuminati, stealing artistic concepts and choreographies, sabotaging other women's careers to get ahead, and using feminism and black culture performatively. Some of these critiques may be valid and some are speculative. Either way, they've all been triggered by the same emotional reactions: distrust, obsession, and the desire to expose her as something she's not showing us. She's been dealing with hate like this for the majority of her career.

But she doesn't react. She comes back with albums that are revolutionary and game-changing, from Sasha Fierce, to Lemonade, to Black is King, to Renaissance, to Cowboy Carter. She comes back with different personas, as an entirely new and stronger person than before. Classic Scorpio Moon.

Jennie Kim

Jennie is in one of the biggest K-pop girl groups of all time, Blackpink. She has always stood out from the very beginning. Even before her official debut, she was collaborating with K-pop icons such as Lee Hi and G-Dragon. She quickly became a fan-favorite due to her talent, presence, and beauty. She's also considered the it-girl of the 3rd generation of K-pop. Jennie was also pretty different because she didn't behave in a way that most idols are expected to. The love quickly turned into hate.

The first major controversy she experienced was her "lazy dancing" scandal in 2018-2019. I was there to witness it, and it was so much hate being thrown her way. So many YouTube videos were being made about it. She was being attacked for dancing "lazy" while they were on tour, when in reality, she was most likely exhausted from the intense schedules. She also had a ankle injury at the time.

People were also pointing out how she was more a bit energetic for her solo stages at the time, but "lazy" for the group performances. I feel like this might have also been a misunderstanding because when you're performing solo on stage, you have to give it your all since all eyes are gonna be on you. She's still being called out to this day for dancing "lazy". I think it's clear that has low stamina now, which can easily be improved and I understand people's criticism about it. But people are still hanging this over her head to this day. The main valid criticism that I've seen Jennie receiving though is when it comes to appropriating Black culture.

People were also attacking her for her dating rumors with Kai from EXO and V from BTS. People were attacking her and saying they don't deserve to be together, even though nothing was ever confirmed. But throughout all this, Jennie has never addressed rumors and hate (I don't remember if she has in interviews). She continues to build her career in ways that'll make her a legend. She doesn't seek approval. She sets standards. She even has a song that's praising herself (Like Jennie).

Jennifer Lopez

Now let's be for real, not every Scorpio Moon artist is a misunderstood saint. I wanna use Jennifer Lopez and Kali Uchis for these examples. Just as this placement can cultivate emotional resilience, privacy, and depth, it can also cultivate manipulation, control, and the unwillingness to take accountability (Evolved vs Unevolved Placements). Even though they aren't saints, my point still stands about how they've been uniquely villainized in the public eye.

Jennifer Lopez has been exposed for using other black female artists vocals in her earlier songs without crediting them (Ashanti, Christina Milian). Their vocals carried her hits and Jennifer just lip-synced or layered some of her own vocals over them. She has also done interviews where she contradicts herself, disregards people she's worked with, and even potentially lies about her past (ham and cheese on a roll with a orange drink, iYkYk??).

People don't hate her because she's successful. Most people don't like her because of how much she's appropriated and taken from black culture and markets "women empowerment" while stepping on women's necks behind the scenes. She's also officially been exposed for the stuff she did with he who shall not be named, so that's gotten her even more hate. People have been hating on her for years because of all of this, and I don't think it's gonna stop anytime soon. This is a prime example of how people don't just sweep things under the rug with Scorpio Moons.

Kali Uchis

I love her music, but I gotta do it. What makes Kali's case interesting is that she hides behind a spiritual, divine, transformative, and healing persona. These traits are common with a Scorpio Moon and this is how she is seen by most people. She plays it well and knows how to sweep the toxic things she has said and done under the rug with the help of this image. That's why the problematic things she's done aren't talked about that much, unless she messes up and her true self just so happens to slip through the cracks. She has a curated image with alluring, feminine visuals and "soft power". But when faced with criticism, she defaults to passive-aggression, projection, or complete silence.

She has been called out for defending men who have SA'd women, and dated them. Don Toliver has those allegations against him and she has a baby with him now. There was also a situation a few years ago, where she bullied a trans woman for calling her out because she tanned her skin darker to pass as a darker-skinned Latina and changed her whole aesthetic to appeal to the Latin market. She's been exposed for allegedly stealing smaller artists' aesthetics and being rude to fans throughout the years.

With her skincare line, "Homebody by Uchis", she claimed the products are vegan and all-natural. But that was a lie. When someone called her out for this, she blocked them on her main account and her clothing line account (bodiedbyuchis). She also claimed the jeans from her clothing line are not made with polyester, which she made multiple comments on her story at the time about how toxic it is. But guess what? They had polyester. I checked her website again though and it seems they no longer have it in their clothes.

In her most recent controversy, she shared a Billboard 100 chart, showing off her ranking at #4 but covered Sleep Token's pic, whom was in the #1 spot. She also later accused them of using payola in another shady post. When asked why she did this, she claimed it was because she didn't feel comfortable showing someone who does blackface, which isn't true (and racist Morgan Wallen was right under him, yet she didn't cover him). When replying to another comment later, she admits she doesn't even know them but that the picture made her uncomfortable. So you decide to accuse someone you don't even know, of doing blackface and being racist just because they got the #1 spot and you didn't? Girl bye.

I remember when she shared her 2024 Spotify wrapped, she also covered Raveena's face and song, whom was her top song of the year (Hypnosis). It's genuinely odd and it's giving jealousy. Scorpio Moons are known for their intensity but they're also masters of control - controlling narratives, controlling perceptions, and silencing anything or anyone that threatens them. Kali frames anyone who questions her behavior as being jealous, being a hater, or having low vibrational energy. In one breath, she preaches healing and positivity, and in the next, she's throwing shade on her IG stories.

You can be spiritual and still be harmful. You can be sensual and still be emotionally immature. Kali weaponizes self-love and spirituality as a shield from accountability. She is the perfect example of what an unevolved Scorpio Moon looks like. There's also a big difference between emotional privacy and emotional arrogance. Not addressing the problem and deflecting is not okay. Kali reinforces her ego instead of transforming it.

All of these things make Kali disliked in the public eye. Well, I would actually say that it more so hinders her growth as an artist because as I stated before, most of the bad things she's said and done have been buried or covered up due to her spiritual image and maybe management helping her. But since this situation with Sleep Token has been blowing up everywhere, it's been making more people bring up her past. People are definitely gonna hold this over her head for a long time.

In Conclusion.....

Whew, this is the longest post I've ever done. I'm so proud. But to conclude, this post reiterates the fact that Scorpio Moons have an emotional intensity that makes them unforgettable, unbreakable, and often unbearable in the public eye. We don't cry for comfort. We don't explain themselves when they want us to. We usually work privately share only what we want them to know. But because that isn't what's expected of us, especially celebrities, we get hated on for it.

Some, like Beyonce and Jennie, hold their power quietly, gracefully, and "dangerously". They give us access into their personal lives only when they want to. Others, like Jennifer and Kali, show us what happens when that energy calcifies. They show us what happens when the mystery becomes smoke and mirrors.

Scorpio Moons will always be polarizing. We weren't made to be liked, we were made to be felt. And whatever that feeling is - admiration, suspicion, or obsession - it will stick. But with that being said, thank you all for reading this!

Love for Love's Sake - Lee Taevin (Tae Myungha role) commentary

[Extra content from Bluray boxset]

If you take it to other platforms, please leave credit and original link. And don't share links to videos publicly as well, thank you ^^

[Translation by AmetistLex]

Q. What did you think when you received the script for "Love for Love's Sake"?

When I first read the script, I looked up the original novel. It felt like many different genres were mixed in this story, not only romance. So I thought if this story got made into a drama, it'll be an incredible series. That was my first impression of it.

Q. Are there any memorable adlibs?

Honestly, I like improvising on set a lot. But because my real personality sometimes slipped in, a lot of moments ended up being edited out. For example, I remember in the scene where I'm choosing sport shoes for Yeowoon and Sia was holding blue and white pair. I picked the blue shoes, but then looked at the second pair and said "Should I buy them as well?~". But it got cut.

Q. Any story about post-recording?

We had a lot of scenes filmed outside. When there was a lot of sounds of grasshoppers and crickets, we had to do really long dubbing sessions. I also ran a lot in the show and had to re-record my breathing for those scenes as well, all those "huh"s. I remember that I ran very diligently in the recording studio while watching the footage to match my breath. I think I ran for 3-4 hours... I even had to re-record my crying again in the studio.

Q. What was difficult during filming?

Synchronizing Myungha and myself was the hardest part, of course. To be honest, I kind of like adding cuteness to my characters when I'm acting, as well as manly charm? Can I even call it like that? Some sweet vibes, to put it nicely. So matching it with Myungha and tuning these vibes down was quite tough.

Q. What was the most joyful thing about filming?

When we filmed the happy scenes of Myungha hanging out with Yeowoon? I think I there were the most joyful moments. And when we ate some tasty food with Yeowoon, like samgyeopsal and tteokbokki. I was very happy then.

Q. How much Myungha and Lee Taevin are in sync?

When I first read the script, I thought we were alike only for 10%. Myungha was a very tough character to approach. But after going through script readings and inspecting scenes over and over, I felt like Myungha was similar to me for 50%. And during filming, I think we ended up becoming almost the same person.

Q. Outstanding Cha Yeowoon scene in your opinion?

There are so many! Yeowoon has a 'pocari' (sports drink) and 'I love you' scenes. He has a lot of pretty close-up shots, I think they are outstanding because Yeowoon's face did a lot of work there. And there was that break-up scene... ah, not the break-up one, the scene where he said a lot of 'don't' phrases. "Don't run away from me", "Don't get close to me..." ah no, he wouldn't say that. But there's a scene where he said all "don't" lines, like "Don't avoid me". I think, Yeowoon really captured the emotions very well with his acting then, so I really love this scene.

Q. What are Tae Myungha's strengths and flaws in your opinion?

Myungha doesn't look like it but he cries very easily. That's his strength. Flaw? ...He cries too easily.

Q. Tae Myungha and Cha Yeowoon are still living well, right?

In the present time? Tae Myungha and Cha Yeowoon are very happy. Cha Joowan and Lee Taevin are living very well now too.

Q. How do you think the actor Lee Taevin will remember "Love for Love's Sake" after 10 years?

Oh, you mean LFLS Season 10 that we just finished filming a few days ago? Well, we finished it only a few days ago, so... We're having a great time!

*cut to serious face* LFLS is a project that went beyond being just work for me, it really managed to delivery a message to me. It was a project that made me contemplate about happiness, love and relationships once again. It changed the things I value and my perspective on life. I think even after 10 years, I'll remember it as a project that was able to change me into a different person.

Q. From Lee Taevin to fans?

Dear Residents*, thank you for always supporting me. Some of you know me through LFLS, some residents are from my MyTeen (idol group) days. I hope you know for sure that the support from you gives me a lot of strength. I'm sincerely happy thanks to you. I hope you are happy too. Thank you.

Please don't ever forget LFLS. Thank you.

(*Taevin's fandom is "Taevin's Village" and fans are called "Residents" **I'm not sure about English translation that's used, I'm translating directly from Korean xD)

Hello cha :) congrats on the 500 followers! ❤️‍🔥

Can i request the forced proximity dialogue 2? I'm thinking maybe in a camping setup and Y/N's tent would be compromised and she'd have to move to Kid's 🤭. Kid would be soooo worried but of course, he'd be tsundere about it 🤣🤣🤣🤣

KIDD; on the same tent

wc: 1381

dialogue: "never figured you for this much of a cuddler."

warning/s: fluff, sleeping together (like actually sleeping wwwww), cuddling, nothing really intense, wrote this with the thought of fem reader but gn could apply :)

eustass kidd has a crush on you. but he fucks you up so bad and always makes it his mission to annoy the absolute shit out of you–it's the only way he knows how to get your attention.

he got on you nerves, really. he was always first to counter you so you could have a back and forth with him and you hate how he's so smart and witty with it. he always one ups you and shows off how great he is, as if he's always trying to rile up a competition with you. and with the teasing, he never misses to fluster you and make you lose your tongue because he always hits the right pressure points with you.

it's a wonder you guys are in the same friend group but somehow hates each other's guts, not kidd though–matter of fact, he's crazy for you and everyone knows it but you.

so when your class went out camping for a project in a course, you made it your mission to stay as far away as possible from him.

"you're really gonna set up your tent up there while the rest of us are down here? terrain ain't lookin' fine in there." kidd peeked up the small cliff that leads to flat ground where you picked your tent spot. "thought you were smart."

"i'm missing the part where it's your business where i place my tent." you didn't spare him a glance, busying yourself with setting up your tent.

kidd raised his hands to surrender, leaving you be but is still keeping an eye out for you. soon enough, the class carried on with some camping activities: roasting barbecue and singing by the fire. until one of you guys whipped out cases of beer and gave everyone their share. that's when things got a little too out of hand.

everyone let loose, some showed different parts of themselves like being loud or dancing too much. someone almost got caught fire. you were no different either, your once reserved self let off a little too much steam and it got people looking. kidd was watching you the whole time. and so was the other guys who had their eye out for you.

so when kidd noticed a group of idiots advancing towards you, he was first to butt in and sit beside you—taking the place they were oh so desperate to take in a heartbeat.

"feelin' lightheaded, shortcake?" kidd blurted out, chugging off his beer bottle dry. "seems you can't hold your alcohol well, aye?"

"stop talking, my head hurts." you waved your hand tiredly, not even thinking who you're talking to.

"weaklings shouldn't fuck around rum, you're makin' a fool of yourself." kidd snatched the bottle off of your grip effortlessly. for the record, you were too drunk to have a proper grip.

"jackass." you rolled your eyes, pulling yourself up to stand but stumbling over your steps embarrasingly. kidd almost caught you but some bastard butted in, offering to take you to his tent since his is just near and yours is pretty far away. the bastard was spouting bullshit so you can get some rest. kidd sensed something foul with this one and he was quite literally seething.

you wouldn't agree either way, but you were too weak to protest. guess it was a bad idea having rum for the first time, especially in the wild like this. but before you could decline, you ended up puking on the guy.

he soon exclaimed in disgust, latching off of you as he padded off his puke-coated shirt. immediately getting turned off by you.

kidd exploded into maniacal laughter, falling over his seat as he watched the scene unfold. he found it hilarious. "i was gonna let you run off but seems you lost your ticket."

you ignored him. but instead, you don't know what came over you because you faced and gestured at him," mine's too far away so i'll sleep in yours." you made a beeline to it, not even waiting for his response and headed straight to his tent. kidd sobered up immediately to chase after you. cuz god forbid you would do this fucking sober.

before kidd could pull you out, you were already settled, fast asleep on his sleeping bed. it was a mistake that he rolled it out way too early. but he wouldn't let you sleep anywhere else either.

he sighed and zipped up the tent, still settling outside with his mates and leaving you be. he kept an eye out his tent the entire time while he was screwing around with his friends by the fire.

once it got late and the alcohol kicked in, kidd headed to his tent because his body felt heavy. but it seems no one was aware you're in his tent, no one mentioned anything about it.

kidd found you snoring and cuddled up in his sheets, he laughed to himself realizing he's got nowhere to sleep now that you've comfortably taken up his place. but he was way too tired to argue, and he wouldn't want to snatch the covers off of you when you looked that comfortable.

so he just zipped up his sweater and lied next to you, keeping a certain distance so as to not wake you up or give you the wrong idea. what baffled him more was that you were gradually scooting closer to him and nestling in his arm. as if forcing yourself closer to his torso and into his embrace.

that's why kidd decided to fuck it and just pull you close, he needs some sort of warmth. plus, you taking up his place would be enough reason for him to do this to you. something to get even with, on his eyes. his arm around your shoulder and as you subconcnsciously entangled your limbs with him. he soon drifted off to sleep and snored the night away.

until you woke up at 5 in the morning when you start to see the gradual lightening of the skies. you almost shot up your position when you pieced everything together and realized you were fucking sleeping and fucking cuddling with eustass kidd.

but you couldn't even move, because he kept you firm in place. it seems as if he's aware you're awake.

"never figured you for this much of a cuddler." you can hear the grin on his tone. "look how much you're latching on to me."

you finally garnered the strength to escape his grip, or he just let loose and decided to stop fucking with you. once you did, he put on a fake wince from the numbness of his arm as a result of you using it as a pillow the entire night.

"nothing else happened, right?" you asked out of absolute fear, looking over your shoulder.

"what difference would it make? minutes ago, we're so comfortable, ain't we?" his morning voice wasn't helping either. his voice was already deep and the certain drop and hoarseness of it was messing with your brain. the fact that his cologne latched onto your sweater and clung into your nares was enough to leave your mind in a flurry.

"kidd, be fucking real." you pushed him, irritated at his cockiness once again.

"hey, don't go hostile on me. you're the one who went here on you're own, fuckin' grabbed all my shit and slept with it. not to mention, you clung onto me like a damn koala bear. if i had anythin' to do with this, you'd shiver to death outside my tent." he grabbed his pillow and the blanket you once hoarded to go back to sleep. but that's not true, it'd be him shivering outside if that were ever the case.

"should've just asked me to leave. i'll go now." you gave up, not even wanting to talk to him about this.

"and let everyone see you got out my tent? now, isn't that somethin' to talk about." he was cocky, arrogant as he spelled it out for you. this motherfucker is enjoying this.

he's right. fuck, just like that again. he keeps giving you reasons to agree with him, just like in any other situations you two are in. you're starting to think that he's intentionally putting you two in these situations to just piss you off. but clearly, you screwed up this time.

"so what do you want me to fucking do?!" you turned to him, pushed on edge as you realized you're trapped in here with him.

"get back to bed." he shut his eyes with one arm spread out, almost like an invitation. he was slowly drifting off to sleep as you lose your head over this ordeal. "wouldn't hurt to cuddle a bit more if we've been doin' it the entire night."

SHIIIIT i got inactive again 🙇‍♀️

Franklin Expedition Service Records

I have finished transcribing the service records I used for my Franklin Careers project. You can find all the transcriptions on my Franklin Expedition page:

ADM 196/4/181. “Capt Sir John Franklin.”

ADM 196/4/220. “Com Jas. Fitzjames.”

ADM 196/4/373. “Lieut. Graham Gore.”

ADM 196/5/124. “Lieut. Edward Little.”

ADM 196/68/548. “Chas H. Osmer.”

Note that some of these are only officer service records. The midshipman service records are elsewhere.

These service records are all property of The National Archives, Kew, and were obtained from the digital service collection Royal Navy officers’ service records 1756-1931. Transcriptions published under the Open Government Licence (OGL) per The National Archives image reproduction guidelines.

Traffic Light Tag Game

thank you for the tags @cha-melodius & @firenati0n for the tags i love this!

i don't have new words to share this week so i'm going to do this for sentences sunday as well! thank you @rewritetheending

rules: talk about something creative you're working on of any kind.🚦 green: what is it about, what excited you about it, what sparked the idea? orange: slow down and share something from it: a photo, a few words, some more background info etc. red: what is the roadblock currently? what is one thing that is a necessary evil in making it?

green: my big writing project at the moment is a malex (michael guerin/alex manes, roswell new mexico) pretty woman au. i LOVE this movie, like SO SO much. i was complaining to @bigassbowlingballhead that i couldn't find a malex fic with a very specific set of criteria i was looking for, and he goes, well why don't you write a pretty woman au for them? and then i thought about michael in vivian's outfit from her first scene and nearly passed out and the rest is history.

orange: here's a bit of piano smut 😏

Michael whines when Alex runs his hand from the base of his throat down the center of his body, arching into his touch. Alex lets his hand rest low on Michael’s belly, and Michael arches up further into him until his cock brushes against the sensitive skin of Alex’s wrist. Alex clicks his tongue and watches, awed, as Michael lowers himself back down. “You’re so good for me, aren’t you,” Alex murmurs. “Please, Alex” Michael whines, barely audible, just a whisper. Alex would give him anything.

red: my biggest roadblock currently is that i'm just busy af at present with very little free time and next to no available brainpower when i do. it's been several weeks since i've gotten any good writing time in. but i'm hopeful i can get in a good groove again soon when work slows down in a couple of weeks.

i'm also a little stuck on the climax/conflict (which isn't really my strongest skill set in writing anyway). i've never written a movie au or anything like this really so i'm very excited but its challenging to try to work within canon AND a whole separate source of canon/plot. i'm reading a nonfiction book about writing (very very slowly) that i'm using to help me figure some bits out, so i'm hopeful i'll get it sorted and make it as good as I want it to be.

since i love to yap, i'll also share that my other big fandom project is recording two hockey podfics for fandom trumps hate. i still need to do some research for one, and find time to record, and then edit, and hopefully make cover graphics too, so it will be a while, but i'm excited! i haven't done a podfic in a long time and they are really fun to do since its a different skill set than writing. maybe if these go well i'll finally record my southern tknp fic 🥰

no pressure tagging @lostcol @jbarneswilson @insecuregodcomplex @onward--upward @anincompletelist @firstprincehornyramblings @beautifulcheat @faketrex @rewritetheending i'm tagging you back with this!!

+ open tag for anyone who seems this who has a project to talk about! i'd love to know what you're working on!

The 8th Member of Bangtan💜

•••

Chapter 4 - The Dance Practice 💥✨🪩

Synopsis: you (y/n 🦊) are the 8th member of bts and are involved in all the fun and banter with the boys as you work on your music and side projects for army

Pairings: platonic! ot7 x gn! reader

Warnings: angst, gossip, slight arguments, discussions of self worth and self doubt

A/n: yn faces off with dance instructor Jung Hoseok and some gossipy staff members in this one… as usual yn is gender neutral so read the honorific’s as they apply to you, also ‘Cha Hwa-young’ is just a random name I plucked off the internet and is in reference to no one with the same name

•••

6am.

Your alarm was blaring and the echo of Hobi’s words were in your brain.

“Dance practise at 7am”

You rolled out of bed and slipped on the workout outfit you’d planned the night before (something simple yet stylish so on the off chance the staff would film some of the practice for army, you’d look presentable).

Preparing for a comeback was no joke… constant lyric writing, recording and choreography sessions. Anything to make the perfect songs and performance for army.

Today you are all working on the choreo for ‘Dynamite’ which meant excessive sweating and the scrutiny of dance teacher Jung Hoseok.

“I’m gonna miss Hobi today” you said to Jungkook and Jimin, the others having left earlier, leaving the 3 of you to catch up to the studio.

“How? Is he not gonna be there, noona/hyung?” Jungkook asked still sleepy and rubbing his eyes.

“He’ll be there kookie, I just mean he’s gonna be in his serious dance instructor mode today” you explained, expression glum.

“Ah come on dongsaengie, cheer up” Jimin said squishing your mouth into the shape of a smile, “it’s gonna be a fun practice… besides that’s how we get our dances perfect right?”

His arching eyebrows and imploring expression made you nod in agreement… one cup of coffee and you’d be fine.

Or so you thought.

•••

Pulling up to the HYBE building, your phone buzzed.

🐨: heads up guys… there’s a new assistant staff member in today

🐻: she’s pretty

🐱: Tae be professional, she’s only just across the room

All of a sudden, Jungkook and Jimin came to life at the mention of a new, pretty staff member. You were also intrigued but now you were even more nervous.

These days the staff (especially the core staff) didn’t change and rotate that much. Most of the staff that worked closely with you and boys had been working for years, allowing you to become trusted confidants and somewhat friends.

Jungkook could sense your unease as he wrapped his muscly arm around your shoulder and pulled you in for a reassuring hug.

“It’ll be alright noona/hyung”

And boy was he wrong.

The minute you stepped into the rehearsal room the vibe was different.

The boys were huddled in one corner of room rather than spread out, their collective bodies hiding the fact they were talking and giggling with to a new member of staff. The three of you approached the throng and Jungkook cleared his throat to alert his hyungs to your presence.

“Ah, here they all are!” Namjoon greeted you all, parting the group, revealing the dark-haired woman still dressed in her long parka coat.

“Jimin-ssi, Jungkook-ssi, yn-ssi” she said with a low bow.

“This is Cha Hwa-young” Hobi did the introducing with a big smile on his face - he always loved meeting new staff.

The three of you returned the greeting with a short bow.

“Where’s the coffee, Hobah?” you tapped Hobi on the shoulder.

He rolled his shoulder to get your finger off him and turned from his apparently hilarious conversation with Hwa-young to answer you, slightly annoyed expression on his face.

“I don’t know yn, go ask the staff members, I’m sure they’ve did the run already”

It seemed like your prediction was right, Hobi was already annoyed and you hadn’t even begun to dance yet.

Speaking of, dance practise was now running 15 minutes late because the boys were busy getting to know Hwa-young, though you stayed back from the conversation because every time you tried to interject you’d be brushed off or ignored.

What you didn’t notice was that the one youngest and one oldest member were hanging about closer to you than they usually did during dance practice.

“Here dongsaengie” Jin said passing you your cup of hot coffee.

Jin and Jungkook could definitely read you and the staff members better than the rest - in other words they could see you sulking more than usual and the new staff member turning a bit cold towards you compared to how she was buttering up the boys.

“Should we start the rehearsal now Hobi hyung?” Jungkook suggested, making Hobi check his watch with a surprised face.

“Ah yes right! Let’s just pick up from where we left off the last time”

After some stretching, you and the boys took your starting positions and the beat of ‘Dynamite’ rang across the studio. You tried to ignore the glaring look Hwa-young sent you from across the room.

The first run through went well and Hobi seemed pleased with everyone.

“What did you think Hwa-young-ssi?” he asked.

She looked somewhat taken aback but pleased at the direct question.

“It was wonderful, Jhope-ssi!” she complimented with a bow, gaining agreements from the other staff and preening from the group, “though I think yn-ssi stepped on Jungkooks foot? You better watch Jungkook-ssi, your lace is undone now”

Everyone looked at Jungkooks shoe, and of course, his lace was undone.

“Ah I’m sorry Kook! Did I step on your foot?” you rushed down to your knees to help him tie his lace again.

You swore you could here some snickers over at the far side of the wall where the staff was standing.

“Just a little bit noona/hyung… it’s okay it wasn’t sore!” Jungkook sought to reassure you before you fretted.

“It’s okay yn-ie, I’m clumsy all the time” Joon offered you a hand up from the ground with a reassuring smile.

You got up and dusted yourself off, both physically and mentally.

“I’m gonna watch the next run through” Hobi said standing in front of the group, arms folded and concentration evident on his face.

•••

“It wasn’t that bad baby petal” Jin tried to reassure you.

“He was mad at me too, yn-ie” Jimin tuned in.

“He’s not mad, he’s just stressed and wants to get the choreo right,” Yoongi said, sitting down at the lunch table.

The staff came up to you all with water and bowls of lunch (bibimbap from today’s menu) and sat down away from the group.

“Where is hyung anyway?” Jungkook asked.

“He’s reviewing the dance footage” Tae said with a mouthful of seaweed and rice.

“He should come eat soon… I’ll go and get him” Jin stood up.

Suddenly without his broad shoulders shielding you, you felt the eyes of hybe’s cafeteria goers and most unsettlingly, those of the group of staff you knew had been in dance practise with you all. Hwa-young, though, was missing among them.

Jin returned with Hobi in tow. The expression on his face was indecipherable but he didn’t really look up from his bibimbap bowl while he talked.

“We need to tighten up the choreo guys… I know we’ve only just finalised it but we’ve got less than a month left before the company will want to start recording us practice and start recording the music video”

“We’ll get there Hobi hyung” jimin offered hopefully.

“It’s just frustrating Jiminie, I want it all to look perfect as soon as possible, otherwise it gives me anxiety”

“You’re the best dancer here hyung” namjoon offered to the unusually downtrodden man, “it just takes some of us a bit longer”

“I know Joon, I can’t expect perfect from some of you straight away, but I usually expect my dance line to perform well”

The words hung in the air. Everyone knew by that he meant Jungkook, Jimin, Tae and you. And who had been messing up the most all morning? You had.

Sure the hyungs needed a few minutes more of individual coaching from Hobi than the rest and Namjoon in particular could be prone to tripping, but you knew by the look on his face Hobi expected more from his maknaes.

You sat with your head low, hating to disappoint any of your members. You could feel eyes on you and became overcome with the need to escape.

“Sorry oppa/hyung” you mumbled, before standing from your seat, “excuse me”

You walked to the first place you could find to be alone. The bathroom. But before you could round the corner you heard the voice you’d been hearing all afternoon. Hwa-young.

“Poor jhope-ssi, he’s so stressed about the dance… they’re the one that came in late with Jungkook and Jimin… what was their name again?”

“Yn?” the voice of another staff member offered.

“Ah yes, well they’re apparently part of bts dance line but from this morning you’d find that hard to believe” she snickered, followed by a burst of laughter.

Sometimes you hated the labels associated with being an idol. Sure you were part of rapline… that was a given since you rapped all your verses in bts’s songs. But dancing wasn’t always your strong suit. Jimin and Hobi were trained professionals before they joined the bighit label in their pre-debut days. And Jungkook was just naturally talented at things while Tae had his own flare that army ate up during a performance.

You don’t even know why you were proclaimed as part of dance line when you felt like you couldn’t live up to their expertise or talent. And hearing Hobi and the staffs words all but confirmed your doubts.

Maybe… you thought, you’d have to rethink your position in the team. This afternoon you’d been clunky and causing delays. Maybe bangtan would be better without you, you thought.

You couldn’t be noticed by the staff now so you walked to the further away bathroom to get some quiet and clear your head.

You had only been sitting in the bathroom stall for 10 minutes when a text came through.

🐰: noona/hyung… are you okay?

🦊: fine kookie, just in the bathroom

🐰: hyungs say we’re heading back into practice in 5

You gave the message a thumbs up and put you phone back in your pocket. It wasn’t too late to back out, the promos for the Dynamite comeback hadn’t happened yet. They could easily cut your lines or have someone else in rapline re-record them so they wouldn’t go to waste. For now you swallowed those thoughts down and walked back to the practice room.

Jungkook was looking at you with wide boba eyes and Jin looked concerned.

“Everything okay baby petal?”

“Yes oppa/hyung, just a stomach ache”

“Can you still dance?”

He had no idea how hard that question hit but you just painted on a smile and nodded anyway.

Yet again the rest of the boys were oblivious, gathered around Hwa-young and her quickly acquired friends, talking and giggling.

Once you announced yourself, the members got to practising over and over until early evening until Hobi was completely satisfied with the days work. Everyone left the studio with aching muscles but only one member left with a head full of self doubts.

•••

“Jhope-ssi, would you and the group like to come with us to dinner?”

“Ah that would be nice noona,” Hobi turned to the group, “you want food guys?”

Noona? After only one day of getting familiar, you thought.

Everyone nodded, even Jin and Jungkook who could never deny food, probably even from their worst enemy.

“Yn-ssi” Hwa-young addressed you, “you probably won’t want to come along with that upset stomach you talked about having earlier”

Inside you seethed. But really she was right. You didn’t want to be around anyone for any longer today and certainly not her.

“I’ll turn in for the night, see you guys later” though you had no intention of leaving your bedroom to socialise tonight or even answer the door for that matter.

“Alright, it was very nice to meet you” she gave a bow and headed for the cars.

You returned it, but only because she was your elder.

“Noona/hyung, please come with us, we’ll only worry” Jungkook pleaded.

“Really I’ll be fine Kook, go with your hyungs and have fun, it’s been a long day” you chased him.

He looked somewhat forlorn as he walked away with Jin, who turned at the last second and mouthed “you okay?” to you, to which you replied with a nod.

You certainly weren’t okay but you didn’t intend to ruin dinner after being the reason that a dance practice session had soured.

You got a separate car back to the dorms, had your single bowl of ramen (because you knew you’d face the wrath of Jin if you didn’t eat) and headed to bed.

You had a lot to think about and a lot of time to do it before they got home.

•••

A/n: leaving this one on a cliffhanger sorry! will 8th member of bangtan want to stay or will they take some convincing? 🤔 hope you enjoyed some angst (we still love all the boys in this house) but we’ll see a continuation of this storyline in the next fic… then maybe back to some lighter storylines lol 💖

Word count: 3.1k

To be added to the rest of the series click here -> 🌌

Lock broken, slur spoken

Wound open, game token

I didn't know you were keeping count

Rain soaking, blind hoping

You said I was freeloading

I didn't know you were keeping count

“Do you have to be such a fucking cunt all the time?” Ben huffed after unlocking the front door, tossing his keys in the bowl in the entryway. “God it’s like every time-” he sighed, shaking his head as Lennon softly shut the door behind them. She was blindly hoping that he’d just drop it, it had been a long day for both of them and she could tell it was only going to start an argument at some point.

“I do all this stuff for you, I took you out on your birthday, I went out to dinner with your family. I got you flowers last week, I watched that stupid show you like with you, I do this, that, and the other things, and you don't ever do anything for me, you didn't even say thank you when I made the bed for you last week, you're just freeloading and taking advantage of my feelings for you.” He bit out pointing out every little thing he’s ever done for her over the course of the last few months as if she hadn’t done the same things for him.

Lennon could only stare at him as he threw all of that back in her face. Everything he just brought up was the bare minimum she never asked him to do any of that. She never kept track of what they both did for each other so she couldn’t even come up with an argument back because she was never keeping count of the things she did for him, she never realized he was keeping count.

High infidelity

Put on your records and regret me

I bent the truth too far tonight

I was dancing around, dancing around it

High infidelity

Put on your headphones and burn my city

Your picket fence is sharp as knives

I was dancing around, dancing around it

Cheating, a thing that could break or make a relationship. Ben could tell something happened, so he did exactly what she was doing and acted like nothing was wrong, but deep down he was starting to regret ever getting involved with Lennon. She had bent the truth too far about April 29th, dancing around where exactly she was and who she was with. He knew it was someone, and it was only a matter of time before the truth came out.

All he wanted was answers, granted he didn’t deserve them after how he treated her but that didn’t make the situation any better. He wanted to watch the city burn. The picture perfect relationship that everyone thought Lennon was in, was not as great as it seemed. Ben wasn’t what he projected to the world, especially behind closed doors.

The green eyed girl knew she needed to get out, it’s what she should’ve done in the first place but with how Ben was treating her lately self sabotaging the already dying relationship seemed like it would drive the final nail in the coffin and end it all for good.

Do you really want to know where I was April 29th?

Do I really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?

“I just want to know where you were last month. You just disappeared and never said anything.” Ben threw his hands up as he leaned against the counter staring at her trying to figure out what she was hiding. He knew it was something because they usually never kept secrets from each other.

The dark haired girl was silent as she stood across from Ben. She was teetering on the edge of if she really wanted to tell him where she was on April 29th, if she really had to chart the constellations in his eyes for Ben to understand. It was a painful process that made her realize what she needs isn’t what she has. Realizing that to get what you need, you are going to hurt someone who may not deserve it. But in Ben's case he did.

“Do I really have to chart-“ there was reluctance in her voice as she spoke, she wanted to come clean she really did. Wanting to chart the constellations in the brown eyes that were filled with such comfort and warmth ones that felt like home when you looked into them, compared to Ben’s icy blue eyes. But she just shook her head and walked out of the kitchen with a sigh, it would be no use.

Storm coming, good husband

Bad omen

Dragged my feet right down the aisle

At the house lonely, good money

I'd pay if you'd just know me

Seemed like the right thing at the time

Lennon could feel it, the end of it all. Her and Ben were too far gone and their once safe and good relationship was far too damaged to save. Everyone thought Ben was nothing short of ‘good husband’ material. But to her it was nothing but a bad omen. He didn’t excite her; it made her feel like she was dragging her feet in through the motions with him. On paper they looked like the perfect couple but she knows he isn’t the one she wants to marry at the end of the day, it would be a life of misery if she was dumb enough to let it get that far.

The house was lonely, Ben had bought a mansion which wasn’t a surprise with the money he made at Chelsea. But he was hardly ever there. On the days off he had he was usually spending it with the guys. She would give the world if he would just understand and see her instead of just leaving her alone for days on end. Moving in seemed like a good idea at the time. But now she was thinking it was clearly a mistake. Lennon was expected to stay in the relationship with the blue eyed player, people would tell her how lucky she was that she had a good man who had good money and a stable life like him.

They didn’t see behind the walls, the fights, the arguments, the cheating rumors, the neglect. It was hard to put up with someone who would push her off to the side like a trophy sitting in the cabinet only being brought out to be shown off. It was humiliating. All she wanted was to be loved and appreciated and he made it seem like she was asking for far too much.

You know there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love

The slowest way is never loving them enough

Do you really want to know where I was April 29th?

Do I really have to tell you how he brought me back to life?

It had been months of the same back and forth shit, Ben didn’t even realize what he was doing to the girl. There were many different ways to kill someone you loved. Cheating, abuse, manipulation, all of it, but the slowest way?

Simply never loving them enough.

Lennon didn’t even mean for it to happen. She really didn’t, but she knew Ben would never really love her like she deserved. It was supposed to be just a fun getaway weekend in Spain until she bumped into someone familiar at the club downtown. That night had turned into a whirlwind within a matter of hours and Ben was none the wiser.

Where was she that fateful April 29th you ask?

The Cheshire native was with someone who had so easily managed to bring her back to life in such a short amount of time. His touch brought forth an incandescent glow despite her being tarnished by Ben's neglect, but he made her feel oh so grand. He was someone she couldn’t have out in the open.

At least not right now, not while she was still tied to Ben.

Lennon realized the brown eyed man was someone that saw her for her and loved every piece of her without fault or care, it was something she wasn’t used to. To be shown such love without having to beg for it. Like it was natural and actually meant something.

“You should leave him Len, you know I would take care of you better than he has and ever will.” The man softly spoke, gently running his fingers up and down her back as she laid on his chest. Both of them coming down from their highs after what they just did between the sheets.

Did he feel bad knowing he just slept with Ben's girlfriend?

No.

A blind man could see how much the Milton Keynes man was ruining the girl laying in his bed. One whose smile would brighten up the room the second she walked into it. He was kicking himself over the fact that he didn’t get to her first. But he’d take having moments like this with her for now until he could have her openly and unapologetically to show her how she should’ve been loved and treated this whole time. Not hidden away like a burden. Like some participation trophy, no she was that of the most beautiful painting one could ever compose, and he thought she should be shown off and cherished.

The doe eyed girl looked up at him, it hurt a bit knowing he wanted her so unapologetically but Ben never would, it was a hard pill to swallow but she knew their relationship was nothing but a pile of smoldering ashes now. “I know but I don’t know how to make him understand that he and I can’t keep going on like this.” Lennon said softly. “He just doesn’t listen, and I always end up letting him back in when I know we aren’t good for each other.”

“Let’s worry about it tomorrow mi amour. We can think of something together in the morning over breakfast.” Kepa said, placing a gentle kiss on the top of her head as he pulled the blankets up over the both of them. “I’ll make French toast, I know it’s your favorite.”

It was the little things like the mention of French toast being her favorite that made her heart slowly start piecing itself back together. She had mentioned that at a party Mason had thrown months ago the only party Ben had brought her to, and yet he still remembered it.

Ben never took the time to ask what any of her favorite things were.

Oh, there's many different ways that you can kill the one you love

And it's never enough, it's never enough

Ben had been sitting in Mason’s living room with Kai and Christian, the boys' girlfriends were in the kitchen talking about god knows what. But it was Sophia who had come out to hand her boyfriend a drink before her eyes set on the Milton Keynes man. “Is Len not coming?” She asked softly, she rather liked the green eyed girl, she just never understood why she put up with a guy like Ben. “Nah. We broke up a few days ago.” He shrugged unbothered. “Oh.” Sophia mumbled frowning a bit as she looked back at her boyfriend with a questioning look before walking back to the kitchen to talk to Nettie about it, the two were planning on going to see the girl soon to make sure she was okay.

Christian side eyed him for that response as did Mason. This was the first they were hearing about it; they thought everything between the two was fine. Evidently not. But it was Kai who looked like he knew something that Ben didn’t. “What mate spit it out, I know you’re dying to say something.” Ben sighed, crossing his arms as he looked at the German boy. Kai just shrugged as he fiddled with the tab on his drink. “Nothing, just glad she’ll be able to find someone who might actually treat her well now.”

“The fuck is that supposed to mean mate? She broke up with me.” Ben asked, narrowing his eyes.

“It means you treated her like shit.” Christian spoke up leaning back against the chair he was sitting in. All of the guys adored Lennon. She was a sweetheart, not to mention how well the other guys' girlfriends got along with her. But of course Ben had to go and ruin it for himself because he fell in love with everything that moved but clearly had commitment issues. They were gonna miss seeing her around. “You didn’t deserve a nice girl like her.”

Ben just looked over at Mason for help to back him up, but the Portsmouth boy just avoided his eyes. “Mase?” He asked tensely, he felt backed into a corner now. “They’re right mate. The way you treated her just- it wasn’t right Chilly.” Mason said softly, he and Nettie had talked about it a while back. The French girl wanted to find someone better for Lennon but little did they know she had already done that herself.

“Do you ever think she finally broke up with you because she found someone better? I mean she did take a trip to Spain a while back.” Kai said offhandedly, he had known who was also back home in Spain at the time of her trip.

“Spain?? Why Spain? She’s never even been out of England?” Ben asked as a million different thoughts ran through his head. Why would Lennon go to Spain of all places? His thoughts were interrupted as a Spanish voice called out after shutting the front door making him glance over the back of the couch seeing Kepa walking into the room. But what caught his attention was the faded hickeys on his neck, as far as he knew the goalie didn’t have a girlfriend and wasn’t one for one night stands. “What about Spain?” the Spanish player asked, taking a seat on the loveseat next to Kai after walking in mid conversation.

“We were just talking about Lennon’s trip to Spain last month and how she broke up with Ben a few days ago.” Christian caught him up, he saw the way Kepa’s eyes flickered to the Milton Keynes player briefly which only he seemed to catch, that piqued his interest. “Didn’t you go to Spain around that time too? Your sister's wedding right?” The goalie nodded and a soft smile as he thought back on that trip before shrugging as he looked over at Ben again.

“I’m sure someone else will appreciate a perfect rose like her, maybe they already have.” Kepa commented with a hum as Mason started the game they were playing again.

Suddenly the dots connected for Ben and it felt like he had just jumped straight into the Thames.

Lock broken, slur spoken

Wound open, game token

I didn't know you were keeping count

Rain soaking, blind hoping

You said I was freeloading

I didn't know you were keeping count

…..But oh, you were keeping count

The blue eyed Chelsea player had immediately left Masons and made his way to the doe eyed girl’s apartment. He needed answers. He knocked frantically on the door as he stood there in the rain waiting for her to come and open the door. It made him rethink every interaction she’s ever had with the goalie.

“God Lennon you’re such a fucking slut, my own teammate really??” Ben asked as soon as she opened the door as he pushed his way into her apartment. He was livid at the news. He was blindly hoping that the comment Kepa made was just a coincidence. But when she just blankly looked at him not even bothering to deny it, it just further irritated him causing him to snap. “Who’s next huh? Are you gonna go for Conor or Christian?” The blue eyed man shouted as he glared at her. “Gonna go on and fuck the whole team?” He was going for a low blow, he knew that but he was too pissed off to care.

“You always said I was freeloading Ben, I never knew you were keeping count of the bare minimum of things you did for me. Did you know in the short amount of time I’ve gotten to know Kepa he knows all my favorite things? Actually wants to spend time with me?” Lennon asked, as she crossed her arms.

“What does that have to do with anything??” Ben asked, throwing his hands up with a groan. He wasn’t getting it again. “It has everything to do with it!! He cares, Ben. Kepa took the time to actually see me. I wasn't just a trophy sitting in a glass case collecting dust anymore like you had me for the last year and a half. He remembers things I talk about, my favorite food? He remembered it from Mason's party months ago. Do you even know what my favorite food is?”

Ben just blinked at her; he felt like he had been smacked across the face with reality as she kept going. “Did I cheat on you with Kepa? Yes. I’ll admit that. But you have to understand the relationship we had was far past saving, it was nothing but ashes.. Just one simple night with Kepa was more than you’ve ever given me. You just never wanted to let me go. So I did what I had to do to make you hate me. But I won’t apologize for finding someone who actually treats me the way I deserve to be treated.”

The dark haired girl standing in front of him wasn’t the same Lennon he knew and had under his thumb for the last year and a half. She had grown a backbone and was standing up for herself. Maybe Christian was right, he didn’t deserve her, because he clearly didn’t know what he had until she was gone. Now he had to watch the beginnings of her life with his teammate, and he knew the Spanish player would have no problem showing off a girl like her, shouting from the rooftops how much he loved and appreciated her.

Something he never did but wished he had right about now. In the midst of keeping count of all the things he did for her and using it against her he never counted the fact that one day she’d walk away from him.

There’s many different ways to kill the one you love, never loving them enough is one, but not realizing what you had until it’s gone is possibly even worse.

Wojun (Monster)

(Common Sloths by IllustratedMenagerie on Deviantart)

(I'm just a lover of speculative evolution, have been since Future is Wild aired while I was 7. Kaimere is one of two current projects I'm keeping up with, and perhaps the more approachable of the two; it's a setting written by artist and writer Keenan Taylor, and presented in a series of youtube videos on the Tales of Kaimere channel, as well as short story collections.

Kaimere is a planet where endemic microorganisms periodically replicate Earth organisms; they then evolve in a separate context from Earth. It's populated by creatures like gigantic megaraptorans, spiny sauropods, and a variety of ground sloths, including the first creatures I'm converting to Pathfinder.)

Also known as the common sloth in certain regions, or Volgarocnus by naturalists, wojun are large omnivorous ground sloths who fill the niche of large, powerful omnivores. They are somewhat slower, mentally and physically, than bears and pigs, but are powerfully built, heavily armored, and especially belligerent, making them able to compete with these animals.

Wojun are natural diggers; they sleep in burrows that can be as much as 50ft into a hill, or diagonally into the earth. This skill is also used to break into the nests of other animals, or the food stores of peoples they live near.

There are two recorded varieties of wojun; the black wojun lives in cooler uplands, and while it's less carnivorous, it's no less aggressive and territorial. The red wojun lives in hot grasslands and is a scavenger and a hunter of small or slow game first and foremost, although they still supplement their diet with roots and seeds.

"Stop being so difficult Bakugo," Mina flicked the side of his head, "Listen to Denki here, just....be nice for once."

"Yeah bro," Denki gave him a smug smile, "Just use the method and poof! You got yourself a boyfriend!"

Katsuki Bakugo is whipped so bad that he somehow resorts to actually half-listening to Denki's advice. With his own charm, of course. (Read: He kind of fucked it up)

---

Katsuki Bakugo was, often to his detriment, a very passionate person. He’d yell at his video game screen whenever Denki or Kirishima would find a way to shoot themselves in battle. He would get overly invested in English presentations and try to find a way to make them the most pretentious sounding in the class. One thanksgiving, he almost set his house on fire after he realized the pie dough he had spent four hours trying to perfect came out a sticky and goopy mess.

Point being, he had a tendency to be dramatic at times, and being a fifteen year old boy in the beginning stages of a crush, even he was starting to find himself fucking insufferable.

Izuku Midoriya. That was his kryptonite. Freaking Deku. He wasn’t exactly sure when or even how he started looking at Deku and the stupid little chemicals in his brain started going feral, but, well, that’s what was happening.

Like any fifteen year old boy with a crush, Bakugo acted like he knew everything. And, also like most fifteen year old boys, his arrogance was starting to get in the way of acting on said crush.

Bakugo tried to take a deep breath, but ended up inhaling so sharply he made himself cough a bit on his own saliva. The fact that it was only then that his lab partner briefly looked away from her absolute trash tik tok for you page and not during any of the fucking labs made him want to scream.

“Oh my god this is the third time this period Katsushit” she tapped her annoying as fuck pink acrylic nails on the counter for the thirteenth time that period, “please, I’m begging you, read a wiki how article on breathing or something.”

“Why don’t you shove your phone up a flamingo’s ass and go be quiet in the corner, Go eat some shrimp or something, pink raccoon.”

“That wasn’t very nice”, Mina pouted, shutting off her phone and putting it in the pocket of her pink metallic bomber that for some reason kept getting on Bakugo’s nerves, “did Kirishima text you about tonight by the way? You are gonna come, right?”

“No.” Bakugo began stuffing his pencil in a random pocket of his backpack.

“No as in Kiri didn’t text you or no as in your being a little bitch?” Mina bit her lip and glanced over at the teacher who was making fun of one of the players on the basketball team.

Bakugo grunted in response, slinging his backpack over one arm and then the other.

“Midoriya’s gonna come.” Mina sang, nudging him in the shoulder.

He paused for a moment, poorly hiding the light blush that began to creep its way on to his face. “Fine. I’ll come along but for the record it’s only because Deku‘s mom never lets him get out.”

Luckily, whatever the raccoon was planning on saying was cut off by the bell, which due to the speakers being blown were chaotically distorted, blared throughout the classroom. He began walking out without her. He rolled his eyes but was secretly a little relieved when she started walking after her.

“Hey guys!“ an evil, annoying shrill startled Bakugo..

“Denki!“ Mina ran over to hug him, like the extra she was, “How was your second period?”

“I don’t know, I slept through it all,” Denki pulled his hand out from his hoodie pocket and shot Mina with some finger guns as they began walking towards the cafeteria, “did you guys check the group chat by the way? Kiri and I were having our morning anxiety attack.”

Bakugo pulled out his phone and opened 192 notifications for the group chat he had been forced into, named ‘Denki’s funeral’.

“Not your I heart hot mom's hoodie!” Mina gasped.

“Yeah! I was like, sweating bro,”Denki turned over to Bakugo who was silently listening to their conversation, waiting for the perfect moment to insult the pair, “Since I know you won’t actually read all the messages I’ll catch you up; yesterday when I was doing my laundry-“.

“For once.” Bakugo grumbled as they got in line.

“-my mom came in and saw my I heart hot mom's hoodie! She asked me where I had found it, was it mine, did I ever wear it, blah blah blah. And I was all; ‘mom I’d never wear anything degrading to women like that! It’s my friend Kirishima’s! He forgot it and I decided to wash it for him, like the holy child I am.” Denki clasped his hands in the air, trying to emphasize his point.

“Only your dumbass would get in trouble for having a hot moms hoodie by your own fucking mom.” Bakugo chided, trying his very best to contain his laughter. Mina was already losing it.

Denki laughed, “I know man! But get this, Kiri came over this morning and my mom told him that if she ever caught him with that hoodie again, he’d call his mom!”

Bakugo couldn’t help it and began to cackle. The three of them tried their best to contain themselves as they got to the front of the line.

Since November that year, Denki had found a hoodie that had written ‘I heart hot moms’ and had worn it almost every day since, it was so stupid it was funny.

“Can I have the double chocolate chip muffin?” Denki chirped, smiling at the lunch lady.

“Diabetes.” Bakugo whispered in his ear before walking away with his bagel.

“Bakubro!!” Kirishima’s voice echoed throughout the cafeteria.

“Did you finish your English essay?” Bakugo deadpanned.

“Stop being so annoying Bakugo!” Mina swatted his arm as if he was a fucking fly. “Sorry, he’s just grumpy, his little Deku didn’t talk to him before school today.”

“Shut up.” Bakugo actually saw Deku running to class late, he probably had overslept. That dumbass was lucky he was cute.

“Okay so to answer your question, lots of things were done in English,” Kirishima sipped his chocolate milk as Bakugo sighed, “no, I l did not finish the essay. Instead, I wrote a book.”

And sure enough, at 9:40 in the fucking morning, Kirishima pulled out a stack of lined paper that had been stapled and drawn and written in Crayola with such sloppy writing it looked like a kindergarten assignment .

“Ooooo” Mina, being the simp she is for Kirishima, grabbed it.

“I call it; Kirishima has an anxiety attack and a frowny face. But not like a frowny face as in the words, but like, an actual frowny face.” Kirishima said, pointing to the title and the frowny face which had been written in red crayon. “It even has its first review! I showed it to Mr. Aizawa and he wrote ‘get some help’ and gave it five stars!” Mina and Kirishima cheered. “He didn’t cancel the essay though…”

“He just didn’t understand it. No one understands masterpieces until 30 years after they’ve died anyways.” Mina said, awkwardly patting Kirishima’s hand.

“Kaachan!” Bakugo felt his soul momentarily jump out of his body and tried to jump out the nearest window like that one brown cat that tried jumping out of the window once it saw Denki last week when he went to volunteer at an Animal Shelter. Deku seemed to notice this and laughed. “Sorry Kaachan!”

“Go away” Bakugo mumbled, staring at Deku’s tattered shoe laces.

“Deku wanted to ask you something.” Bakugo glanced up, noticing Todoroki’s emo ass hovering over Deku, who was playfully swatting his elbow.

“No.” Bakugo tried his best to sound tough as he angrily sipped his chocolate milk. Tasted chunky. The school must’ve invested into the football team again.

“Kaachan! I was wondering if you were going to go to karaoke tonight!” Deku buzzed with excitement.

Kirishima and Mina began winking at Bakugo from behind Deku, god Bakugo wanted to beat them up sometimes.

“Yeah whatever. Don’t expect me to sing though.” Bakugo sighed, trying (and failing) to pretend he wasn’t paying attention to Deku's reaction.

Kirishima, Mina and Denki (who appeared out of fucking thin air) began cheering loud enough so that the weird upperclassmen’s table began looking at them funny. Bakugo was too distracted throwing plastic utensils at them to hear Deku’s mumbling.

“Bro, you should totally listen to what Midobro is saying. Stop being so rude.” Kirishima walked close to Bakugo, flicking his forehead. Bakugo made a mental note to steal his beloved cookies later to piss him off.

“What is it now Deku?” Bakugo said a little louder than he intended.

“Um well, my mom’s kinda worried y’know? I was uh,” Deku but his lip, his face growing a little red, “..she trusts you and she was wondering if you could um, walk with me to the karaoke place?”

Mina, Kirishima and Denki started silently screaming, jumping up and down celebrating. Bakugo wanted to drown all of them.

“What, Deku you're like, a 5 minute walk from uptown, don’t tell me you can’t handle yourself alone for 5 minutes.” Bakugo rolled his eyes, trying to ignore Kirishima crossing his arms, Denki mouthing no and Mina pretending to throttle him, “Why doesn’t your boyfriend over here walk you over?” Katsuki nudged his head towards Deku’s emo ass friend Todoroki, who let out a deep sigh slowly shaking his head.

“What?! Todoroki- I’m- He’s not-” Deku’s face went red.

“Really Bakugo?” Mina deadpanned, giving him a rather judgy look for someone who expected to be showered with love for just aggressively complimenting stupidity. Bakugo mumbled for her to shut up, her response being a frustratingly disappointed look.

“I have a history exam tomorrow. Momo, Jirrou, Tsuyu, Sero, Tokoyami and I already have plans to study so I will unfortunately not be able to accompany my friend Midoriya.” Todoroki gave him a cold glance. It was always so frustrating how nerdy and emo he was, Bakugo would sometimes like to daydream of him absolutely losing it like a normal person (Bakugo) goddamnit.

“If you don't, that's fine-” Deku began rambling, staring at the floor. Bakugo sighed, and held up his hand, trying to gesture to Deku to breathe and let him speak.

“Whatever. I’ll pick you up at 6.” Bakugo rolled his eyes, trying to play the flush on his face as anger through his aggressive tone, “Now get outta my way, I have to walk myself to class.”

“Thanks so much Kaachan! You're awesome!” Deku chirped from behind Bakugo, who had been speed walking, hoping to end the conversation sounding…cool?

Denki, Mina and Kirishima quickly ran after him, speed walking behind him.

“Well,” Mina popped the pink bubbles she had been blowing with some pink bubblegum she would give out to just about any girl that batted their eyelashes at her and ask, “That was a disaster.”

“I know man! I was really hoping Jirrou would come, I was gonna totally serenade her with my awesome singing voice.” Denki’s voice screeched from behind them.

“Not that bro!” Kirishima playfully shoved the side of Denki’s face. “Bakubro totally lost his groove.”

“When does he not?” Mina remarked, annoyance laced in her voice.

“Whatever, I’m gonna walk with him alone, at night. You guys talk big game for a bunch of losers who would combust if they were alone with their crushes for five seconds.” Katsuki finally stopped walking and turned around to face the three of them, rolling his eyes at how Kirishima and Mina were both aggressively trying to not make eye contact.

Denki beamed, “Guys don’t freak! Look at it this way, we have like 8 hours to teach Baku here the method. ” He waggled his eyebrows, clearly being vague just for the attention.

“Is the method preying on self-insecure people?” Mina questioned.

Kirishima snickered, panicking and disguising his laughter as a cough when he saw the glare Bakugo was giving him.

“Hot mom’s over here is right, come one guys we gotta scheme up a method for a bro in need.” Kirishima pumped a fist in the air.

“First, compliment how he looks when you pick him up. Swoon him.” Denki talked in between the final few bites of his chocolate muffin. “Then, do them indirect touches. Brush up against him and stuff. You know the drill.” Denki winked at him, causing him to shudder.

“No.” Bakugo smirked, “I’m going to flirt with him like I always do.”

“Bakugo…we’ve been over this. Just because you like insulting him doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt his feelings.” Kirishima scolded.

“Shut up! My method works more than your aggressively calling people dude and bro type of flirting method.” Bakugo snapped, Kirishima’s face going a bit red.

“Oh shut it twink!” Mina swatted his shoulder.

“ Excuse you-”

“For the love of everything, we just want to see you two happy ‘kay?” Mina cut him off. “Take it from someone who sat next to your little boo for an entire semester– he doesn’t really react to your insults that much, but praise? That’ll light that boy up! Don’t be a blockhead and just…be polite.”

Bakugo sighed, feeling strangely guilty at the puppy eyes they all seemed to be giving him.

“Whatever, I’ll try but when it backfires you all owe me boba.” He mumbled, Denki, Kirishima and Mina erupting in cheers as the bell rang.

---

Bakugo began to dread having to go to Deku’s house that day, struggling to ease his mind and focus on his studies during the rest of his classes, instead opting to sketch a boy with messy green curls and bright emerald eyes.

“Who is it!” Deku’s mom yelled from somewhere inside the Deku’s small cozy little house. The white metal door swung open. “Oh! Bakugo! Right on time too, my, my haven’t you grown up?” She cooed, Bakugo shoving his sweaty hands in his hoodie pocket.

“Yeah, I guess,” he mumbled, not making eye contact with her. “My mom says thank you for the lemons by the way.

“Hm, oh well tell her anytime! Well, I’ll go call Midoriya. He’s in his room doing his homework.” She disappeared from the doorway, allowing Bakugo to panic alone by himself.

“Kaachan!” Deku slid towards the doorway, Bakugo quickly putting on a scowl out of instinct. “Kaachan, you actually came!”

“Of course I did,” Bakugo was about to curse Deku for being stupid, but instead bit his lip, noticing Deku’s mom silently observing the two boys.

“Well, um.” Deku’s mom shuffled forward, planting a kiss on her son’s forehead, “Stay safe you two boys, and Bakugo, bring him back before 9.”

“Yes ma’am.” Bakugo played with his fingers inside of his hoodie, Deku’s mom chuckling before whispering goodbye and quietly closing the door.

“Thanks so much for coming again Kaachan!” Deku smiled, the two of them walking towards the sidewalk.

“Whatev-” Bakugo remembered Denki’s advice from earlier, “No problem.” (How desperate was he?)

They walked for a bit in silence, with the exception of when Deku commented on the stars that night and Bakugo grunted in response, clueless to how he could respond to that . Bakugo tried to keep himself cool and collected while simultaneously trying to hype himself to try and actually interact with Deku instead of awkwardly walking together in the quiet darkness.

“I like your stupid fucking eyes.” Bakugo blurted out as they were passing the park.

Deku’s eyes widened in surprise, “wait, like actually?” His face went red (Bakugo’s face was redder, wishing there were cars driving in the street next to them that he could run into.)

“Forget it, Deku.” Bakugo tried walking ahead of him, but Deku’s stubborn ass just sped up to keep up pace with him.

“Kaachan? Can I tell you a secret and can you promise not to be mad?” Deku squeaked from beside him.

“No,” he said, slowing down his pace so that Deku didn’t have to practically run to keep up with him.

“My mom said she trusted me to walk by myself. She didn’t say I had to walk with you, I lied.” Deku’s face reddened.

“What?” Bakugo stopped walking, the two of them standing on the bridge in the park that overlooked the koi pond. “Then why the hell am I even here?”

“Kaachan don’t be mad, but,” Deku whimpered, his voice shaking. He looked like he was about to cry, his face red, his hands sweaty.

And it was on that stupid bridge over the stupid koi pond in the extra stupid fucking moonlight that it hit Bakugo, that he was the dumbest most dense person in the world.

“Kaachan, I um, I kind of um-” Deku bit his lip. “ Ikindoflikeyou.”

“I’m sorry?” Bakugo stepped closer to Deku, his eyes widening in disbelief.

“Don’t be mean, Kaachan.” Deku softly mumbled, a defeated look crossing his face as he stared at his shoes. “I know you heard me.”

“Deku, stupid, fucking Deku,” Bakugo grinned, probably looking like a serial killer to any onlookers, “I kind of like you too.”

Deku looked up, his beautiful emerald eyes lighting up with joy, “Really! I thought you hated me!”

“What? No! I was flirting with you dumbass!” Bakugo laughed, feeling giddy with excitement, still he tried to look smug.

“You told me I looked like I ate paste in Kindergarten!” Deku laughed, walking beside him.

“That’s because you did Deku.” He taunted, bumping the green-haired teen to the side a bit as they strolled through the park. “Wait..am I supposed to like, kiss you or something?”

Deku smiled, his face flushing a bit. “Why don’t we just start with holding each other’s hands?” Terrified, yet happy nonetheless, Bakugo slowly reached down to hold Deku’s soft, sweaty hand. He grinned like an idiot over at Deku, who laughed, caressing Bakugo’s equally sweaty hand with his dumb. “Who’s the dumbass now Kaachan?”

“It’s still you, you dense asparagus, It’ll always be you Deku.” He looked over at Deku, running his free hand through Deku’s fluffy green hair, something he had always daydreamed about doing.

“Always?”

Bakugo squeezed Deku’s hand, “Always dumbass.”

(Mina screeched at the both of them when they walked in hand in hand at the Karaoke bar)
