#aaah i'm so excited...soon...

[bewitchingbloom]

Ok seeing other people talk about their Envoy in Avowed has made me want to yap about the few things I've already decided on for mine.

First things first, their name. When it comes to OC names, I like to pick something thematic and hopefully lore-friendly. My Watcher's name, Yelena, means "torch" or "corposant", drawing on that line of Berath's at the start of the second game - "You are a beacon to all of the lost." So, for my Envoy I wanted something similar, and after running up against a wall for a while, I found:

Behind the Name is the only name website I really trust, though I was a bit skeptical of this since it was a user-submitted name. However, this appears to be true and fits thematically, so I'm going with Osana (though I will be ignoring everything about the saint who bore this name irl; every name's got some baggage, right?)

I'm still waffling between Arcane Scholar or Court Augur for background. Either way I will definitely be concentrating on magic for her build, with either sword or guns as a backup weapon. At first I really liked the idea of playing a little weirdo with Court Augur, but lately I've been feeling playing a wizard with Very Strong opinions on magic more. There's a non-zero chance my Envoy ends up being very Marcille Dunmeshi inspired.

I'm trying not to think too hard on appearance yet, since my whims are very subject to change as soon as I get into the CC. I will say she's almost definitely going to be an elf, almost definitely going to be a brunette, and I'm specifically feeling these for her godlike features:

The rings around the eyes are my favorite, so I'm hoping they're standalone and don't require that big growth on the top of the head. If they do, the slightly more subtle features will be my go-to.

waitt i wanna ehar abt the long fics omg... i wanna listen.. rolls onto the grass

HI thank you so much for asking!! i wanted to talk about these so bad but like... couldn't bring myself to without someone asking first fdhkjdf

i have two main long fics i'm hoping to write for komahina!! the first one is just called "sad boy summer" as a placeholder name dfkhjdf

i really enjoy using a season (especially summer) as a framing device for emotions and character arcs. the idea of a cold relationship at the beginning of the spring (with komaeda waking up maybe at the end of may), then their relationship growing in warmth and strength as the summer also grows in heat. and them struggling to hold onto precious memories at the end of the summer, not wanting it to end, and not knowing where their relationship will end up. a warm september stretching on past when summer should end, and them wondering when the last halcyon day will fade away and winter will arrive.

this would be more just a collection of oneshots, connected by time moving along over the summer with no other overarching plot. the boys just... enjoying time together and playing outside and doing fun summer things that they never got to do as teenagers. my idea is that Komaeda becomes a lot healthier than he has been ever since he was a child during that summer. the boys work out their issues and build a strong (homoerotic) friendship, but we have a lot of melancholy moments too. Both because of the fear of the summer (and their friendship) ending, and also because they're both experiencing a happiness they haven't for years.

Once this fic is done, this would lead into the longfic that is more plot-heavy (placeholder title: "to carry you"). I have a lot more concrete ideas for this one, but i can't just start writing an established relationship fdhkdf I have to develop it with the sad boy summer first. anyway, at the beginning of this fic, komaeda and hinata are in a weird situationship/close friendship, where maybe they've kissed once or twice and sleep over regularly, but you couldn't call them partners or a couple.

in this fic, komaeda's good spell of health has gotten worse. his cancer is out of remission, and his dementia has developed past the worst point it has ever been before, to the point where he's having issues with memory and orientation to place and time. he's really good at hiding it though and hinata hasn't realized the full extent of it. komaeda is still looking for a reason to live, or rather, a good and meaningful way to die, since his death is imminent with his sicknesses progressing.

future foundation is in contact with toko and komaru in towa city, who have heard rumours of some kind of miracle cure created by the towa group that can cure a lot of diseases. neither of them are aware of many details, and since they're still hiding what happened between the kids and adults in DR:AE, they can't reveal many details. they're not sure if this cure exists, or if it's just a rumour. future foundation tells hinata about it, as they're trying to find ways to put the remnants to work. komaeda gets excited about this, because he's a prime test subject for this miracle cure. if he lives, he brings hope to others afflicted with his conditions, and if he dies, he died in the name of bringing hope. he convinces hinata to let him travel with him to towa city to look for the cure. if hinata knew how sick komaeda was, he wouldn't let him go, but he's "tricked" into thinking komaeda is okay enough to make the trip.

komaeda is also curious about how the WOH are doing. he had genuine care for them despite being despairpilled at the time and he wishes the best for them, but he thinks that he's not the right person to help them.

(a bunch of komahina travelling stuff in the middle that i need to develop dfkhjdffd)

komaeda's bad luck strikes as he and hinata are travelling through some ruined war-torn areas. the ground collapses and he falls a far way, and he and hinata are separated.

hinata tries desperately to look for him and encounters haiji towa. since toko and komaru couldn't reveal much about what happened in DR:AE he doesn't know how evil haiji is, just believing that he's the ruler of the city, and asks him if he knows where komaeda could be. Haiji doesn't want komaeda or anyone related to him anywhere in the city (i forget if they met at all in AE, but he might've found out from monaca, see later in this explanation fdkhjdffd) and steers hinata on a dangerous path.

komaeda meanwhile had bad luck, getting injured in his fall, but also had good (?) luck, falling right into the place where most of the WOH (except monaca) have been hiding. long story short, he realizes that he's the only adult at this time who has any understanding of them and their needs and fears. even though he feels like he's not the hypothetical best person to help them, he is the only Existing person who can. he previously hadn't really cared if he lived or died through the Miracle Cure Experiment, but now he has a strong reason to hope that the cure will work. he's in very rough shape now, having been hurt in the fall, along with his cancer and dementia wreaking havoc on him.

hinata finds him and is horrified at his condition. he really wants to take him back to the island and just take care of him, but komaeda knows that he needs to hold onto this last hope. if they just go back to the island, he'll have a peaceful death, but won't be there for those who need him.

i still need to work out the ending and whether it's a tragedy or not (hmm) but monaca is in trouble, having been separated from Servant after she was hurt in UDG and servant rescued her. he was captured and put in the NWP, but she was left in towa city and captured by haiji without servant to help her. I think she's involved against her will in the miracle cure experiment somehow (human experimentation?)

i'm so sorry this is so long dfhkjfdfd basically... i want this to be a story about having no reason to live, but slowly finding one and realizing that people love you and need you. i didn't really describe everything that well here, but i hope i can make it better in the actual story hehe. the first story does the heavy work of developing komahina into a close relationship (although not fully romantic) and the next story is meant to take it to another level and also focus on a lot of dadmaeda feels

thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to ramble, and feel free to ask any more questions if anything didn't make sense or if you want more details for anything!!

SSR Grim - Blazing Jewel Vignette

"We'll cheer the loudest"

[Sewing Room]

Grim: This is where they're making the outfits for that Blazing Jewel music performance thing, right?

Grim: Crowley said the staff had to go to a meeting, so he's asked us to get everyone's measurements…

Grim: But no one's here, even though it's time for them to show up. They're all late!

???: Urgh… Nnnn…

Grim: Hm? Did you just say something?

1. Nope, nothing. 2. Wasn't that you?

???: Hhhhhhnnnng…!

[Lilia drags Idia in]

Idia: I don't wanna! There's too many people! I wanna go back to my room!

Lilia: You've already come all the way here, steel yourself, already. C'mon everyone, into the room, let's go.

Rook: Why, hello there, Trickster. And you as well, Monsieur Furball. Did we keep you waiting?

Cater: I know they said for all the juniors to come at this time to get measured for the upcoming performance…

Trey: But no matter how long we waited, we couldn't get the full party together. We had to go out searching for the guys who didn't show up.

Malleus: I received no notification of any measurements that were to take place.

Vil: That's just because you didn't see the message sent to your phone.

Leona: Ugh, this is more than a pain… We're here already, so let's get it over with.

Lilia: No need to rush! I know I can't wait to see all our matching outfits. I've been excited ever since I saw the designs drawn out.

Cater: Riiiight～? I bet we'd be a huge hit just standing around ♪ I bet we'd even hit the trending posts on Magicam!

Rook: Aaah, yes… To see every one shine brightly like a jewel under the bright lights… Just imagining it is beauté!

[chatter, chatter]

Grim: Hrrnn…

Grim: Hrrnnnngggh…!

1. What's wrong? 2. Oh, that look means…

Leona: Hey, now. Don't tell me this furball's jealous of us now, right?

Grim: I'M SO JEALOUS, YEAH!!!

Trey: That was surprisingly honest of you. …But actually, we thought you'd say that.

Grim: Huh?

Malleus: Here is a gift from us to both Grim and [Yuu].

Grim: Eh? Huh…Huh!?

Grim: MY OUTFIT'S SO COOL!!

1. Awesome! 2. We're matching!

Grim: HEY, YOU GOT CHANGED TOO!! You're second coolest-looking, next to me.

Grim: Hm? Hey, this outfit looks exactly like what they're wearing during the Blazing Jewel thing.

Idia: Wh-When we heard about the performance, it came up… That Grim-shi'd probably be jealous… Heh.

Lilia: So, we ended up deciding to give you two the Blazing Jewel outfits as a gift.

Trey: Crewel-sensei had a hand in making these, so it's not like they're magic that'll fade after a while. Don't worry.

Vil: I'll tell you this; a performance isn't just wearing fancy outfits and standing on a stage. A costume does not make or break anything.

Vil: …Having said that, we did think you deserved an appropriate reward for everything. Plus, it would be troublesome if Grim were to throw a tantrum.

Cater: Both of you look way better than I imagined! So cute～!

Leona: Hah, let's see if their insides match the outsides. You better be just as bright and energetic as the clothes you're wearing.

Grim: Myahaha! I'm so happy to get these cool clothes!

Grim: Isn't this great?

1. Thank you so much! 2. I can't wait for the performance!

Malleus: Yes, of course. I am elated you are pleased with this, more than anything. It means it was worth our preparation.

Grim: …Now that I think of it, how'd you get the right sizes for us? I don't remember getting measured, but it fits perfectly.

Rook: Oh, yes! I provided them both of your measurements down to the first decimal. No need to fret.

Grim: H-How'd you know that!? That's creepy…!

Everyone: Hahahah.

Idia: …Eh? If that's all that was needed to be done, I didn't need to come here, right!?

[Sewing Room]

Grim: La-dee-dum～

1. You're in a good mood.

Grim: Myahaha! It's awesome that we get to wear these awesome clothes.

2. La-la-dee～

Grim: Myaha! Looks like you're just as happy to be wearing these awesome clothes.

Grim: I wanna show these off to everyone! I hope someone shows up soon.

[door slams open]

Floyd: 'Scuuuuse me!

Riddle: Why are you kicking open a door that is not even unlocked!? You lack even the most common sensibilities!

Grim: Th-The sudden noises scared the stuffing outta me… Hey, you should just come in like a normal person!

Jade: It seems Floyd is causing trou… Oh? Why, the two of you look absolutely dazzling.

1. Thank you. 2. Don't be silly…

Ruggie: Are all those shining things real gemstones? What are they? From where? How many carats? Wait, do I get some too!?

Kalim: That's the Blazing Jewel outfit, right? It's pretty… But don't you think it'd be even flashier if we deck it out with even more gems!?

Silver: Kalim, we cannot do that.

Silver: If the clothes are weighed down, it would affect our dancing.

Jamil: That's not the main issue here… And now Kalim's looking like that was the perfect explanation…

Azul: These outfits are property of our esteemed academy. I would recommend returning it in the same condition you received it, without adding nor removing any decorations.

Floyd: Ahahah, both Shrimpy-chan and Seal-chan look like penguins in that getup. It's a nice change from usual.

Grim: Myaha, right? The juniors made 'em for us!

Kalim: We're gonna get our measurements now, and get to wear those same outfits during the performance, right? I'm super excited to be matching with everyone!

Ruggie: But, y'know… Grim-kun, can ya even take our measurements?

Jamil: Haha, true! Will you be able to measure our shoulder width with those little paws of yours?

Grim: Don't make fun with me! It'll be easy for me to do.

Grim: I just gotta made this measuring tape float with magic, just like Hornton and the others did earlier…

Grim: Myah!? I-It's not moving… Why's it not moving!?

Grim: But they were able to keep it moving so easily before!

Jade: Perhaps it has to do with a difference in ability. What a shame, Grim-kun. Oh, you poor thing.

Grim: Eeeeehhhh!

Riddle: Goodness… There's no need to tease him so. Grim, calm down and imagine the clothes you want to make.

Jamil: That's right. As long as you can picture what outfit you need to make, the measuring tape should move to where it needs to to get the measurements.

Azul: You have [Yuu]-san right in front of you to provide you with an example of the outfit, as well. Look at them, and try again.

Grim: Hrrrgh… That's still hard!

Ruggie: It's lookin' like it'll be quicker if [Yuu]-kun'd measure us by hand. Here, take the tape. Let's get this done with already.

Grim: What!? Then let's have a race to see who's faster, me with my magic, or my lil' hench-human with their hands!

Floyd: Mmkay, then I guess I'll play the guy who gets in both of your ways～ It ain't exciting otherwise, right?

1. This'll be rough… 2. Can I even win…?

Silver: I'll help you, [Yuu]. You've always helped me when I've needed it.

Riddle: Then, I shall help Grim with his magic. Now then, everyone line up!

Kalim: 'Kaaay. Come on, Azul, line up with us!

Azul: No, thank you, I will measure myself, so… Wah, don't push me!

[Jade pushes Azul]

Jade: Come now! We have no time to dally. Kalim-san, I hope you don't mind us squeezing in next to you.

Grim: Picture the outfit, picture the outfit… Okay, let's go! Myaaaah!

[Sewing Room]

Ace: Hey, hey, the measuring tape is a little too slack. There's nooo way you're getting the right measurements, are you?

Grim: Stop whining! If you got a problem with it, do it yourself!

Deuce: Ouch, who just threw that measuring tape!? Oh, no… Now I've forgotten the numbers I was going to write down…!

Ortho: What an unproductive fight. How do they not tire of it when they get nothing out of something so useless?

1. I'm already used to it. 2. It's definitely something to wonder about.

Jack: Well, anyway, I know I was surprised when we walked into the sewing room and saw [Yuu] and Grim in that sharp outfit.

Grim: Yeah! Doesn't this awesome get-up totally stun ya?

Epel: Yep. The design's pretty cool, and the jewels on it are so sparkly. You guys look rad!

Sebek: Could you have possibly expressed your thoughts any less elegantly? It is a dignified attire. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that it will suit my liege well!

Ace: There goes the Draconian again… Anyway, even if we get these outfits done, that's not all there is, right? How's everyone's performance practice going?

Epel: Hehe… I'm glad you asked. Obviously, Pomefiore is absolutely ready to go.

Deuce: Pomefiore might be a tough opponent, but we're no slackers ourselves. Our song's real awesome, especially with all our voices combined!

Sebek: Hah, I doubt it is anything worthwhile. You shall all kneel before our singing, led by Malleus-sama himself!

Ortho: Haha, you're so funny. I don't think you'll be able to keep saying that once you see me and my brother's full combo.

Jack: If we're talking teamwork, then we'd be the number one contender. We'll show you all with our perfectly in-sync dancing.

Grim: Everyone's all confident in themselves, but I really don't know if they're really ready…

Grim: We gotta supervise them good, [Yuu]!

1. We got this! 2. Let's do our best!

Ace: Ey, you guys look raring to go. Just try and keep that up for the actual Blazing Jewel performance, 'kay?

Epel: You'll be cheering on Pomefiore, right? I'm counting on you!

Sebek: Absolutely not. You should give your loudest cheers for Diasomnia. You understand, right, human!?

1. Which to pick…? 2. Hard to choose…

Grim: Yeah, you're right.

Grim: I can't figure out who to pick, so we'll cheer the loudest for whoever gives me the most tuna cans. Myaha!

Jack: Don't be trying to make a deal out of this. Be fair about it.

Ortho: Heheh. I'm really excited for the performance, yeah… But I also like preparing for it with everyone like this.

Deuce: Yeah. After working so hard and so long to get ready for the performance with everyone in the dorms, it feels like the big show'll be here any day now.

Grim: Whew, it's finally done. They were all sooo noisy.

1. That was fun.

Grim: You might've been havin' fun, but everyone kept buggin' me, so I'm pooped! Grim: If this ever happens again, I'm gonna use my magic even more to shut them all up.

2. I'm so tired…

Grim: I get it. It was all "measure this" and "measure that"… Grim: "This should be bigger", or "I want this smaller than everyone else." I'm so tired by all their little changes.

Grim: …Ah! We don't got time to hang around like this. We gotta go report to Crowley pronto.

Grim: We're so busy with all the stuff we gotta do before Blazing Jewel begins…

Grim: And even after the performance ends, there's still gonna be so much for us to do!

Grim: Let's keep doing our best, hench-human!   

Requested by @farfalla049.

[dippindaz]

Aaah you did my request :D it was so good aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa so in character and wonderful and cute <333 i am mentally printing it out and hanging it on my fridge. Also Billy not knowing how to deal with people looking after him?? Please, my heart 😭😭😭

If you're still looking for requests, I'd love to see Billy, Eddie, and Steve (and maybe Robin if that's not too many 👉👈) teaching a reader one of their hobbies (d&d, basketball, etc.) Tbh i don't think Robin HAS any canonical hobbies so I'm excited to see what you hc she does in her free time

Oh my gosh the praise is too much!!! 🥹 Thank you so much and I’m so happy you liked it!! ^_^ I did all four characters :)

I love this idea as well!!!! I’m sorry this took so long to get out, I got stumped on some theseee

Eddie Munson — Teaching You D&D

• Eddie is beyond excited when you show interest in Dungeons & Dragons. He acts nonchalant at first, but the second you actually agree to play, he’s pulling out his DM’s guide and grinning like a madman.

• He insists on making your character with you, talking you through all the races and classes in the most dramatic fashion. “Do you want to be a noble warrior, sworn to protect the innocent? Or a cunning rogue who trusts no one but themselves?”

• When you get overwhelmed by all the stats and dice, he reassures you with a pat on the head. “Don’t worry, my little apprentice, you’ll get the hang of it soon.” (In the voice you’d imagine an old mentor having.)

• During your first session, he gives you just enough guidance to keep you engaged but lets you struggle a little for fun. “Roll for deception. No, you can’t just lie your way out without rolling—welcome to the cruel reality of dice, sweetheart.”

• If you roll a natural 20, he makes a HUGE deal out of it, narrating the most ridiculous and over-the-top outcome possible. “You don’t just convince the guard—you have them questioning their entire career choice.”

• If you roll a natural 1, expect him to cackle and make your failure as hilariously painful as possible. “Oh no, you trip on your own shoelace and insult the king’s mother. Good luck with that.”

• He definitely starts calling you his favorite party member, even if you’re terrible at the game.

Billy Hargrove — Teaching You Basketball

• At first, Billy thinks it’s hilarious that you even want to learn basketball. He teases you constantly. “Think you can keep up with me, sweetheart?”

• He’s surprisingly patient when teaching you the basics, though. He stands behind you, guiding your arms when you shoot, and smirks when you get flustered. “You’ll never get it if you’re too tense. Relax.”

• If you miss a shot, he doesn’t let you live it down. If you make one? He acts like it was pure luck. “Alright, rookie, don’t get cocky now.”

• The first time you manage to get past him and score during a one-on-one game, he pauses. Stares. Then smirks. “Okay, okay, I see you.”

• Absolutely shows off while playing against you—spinning the ball on his finger, dribbling between his legs, pulling no-look shots—just to be extra.

• If he ever catches you getting frustrated, he actually encourages you. “You think I got this good overnight? Hell no. Keep going.”

• When you’re sweaty and out of breath, he rests his hands on his hips and smirks. “Guess I gotta go easy on you next time, huh?”

• If you really impress him, he’ll jokingly challenge you to a real game. “Loser buys dinner. Better start saving up, babe.”

Robin Buckley — Teaching You French

• Robin insists that French is the coolest language and that knowing it makes you at least 20% more attractive. “Trust me, nothing sounds hotter than a perfectly pronounced ‘je ne sais quoi.’”

• The first thing she teaches you? Not useful phrases like greetings or directions. No, she starts with the good stuff—insults and sassy comebacks. “Okay, repeat after me: ‘Va te faire voir.’ It means ‘get lost,’ but it sounds way classier in French.”

• She definitely teaches you how to swear in French and then makes you promise not to use it in front of teachers or authority figures. (“Actually, never mind, totally use it in front of Keith at work.”)

• Whenever you butcher a word or mispronounce something, she laughs but immediately reassures you. “Hey, you’re doing better than me when I first started. I sounded like a drunk tourist for the first month.”

• She randomly quizzes you at the worst times—like mid-conversation or while you’re eating. “Quick! How do you say ‘the cat is on the table’?” If you get it right, she cheers dramatically.

• If you really struggle with pronunciation, she gets unreasonably close and exaggerates how to shape your lips, totally unaware of how flustered it makes you.

• She casually drops French phrases into everyday conversations and refuses to translate them. “If you were paying attention, you’d know what I just said, mon cher.”

• Eventually, she teaches you something actually romantic, like how to say “Tu es magnifique” (you are magnificent), but she says it so casually that you’re not sure if she’s flirting or just being Robin.

• If you start getting too good, she pouts. “Damn, you might actually be better than me soon. I take it back, I’m never teaching you again.” (She’s totally lying.)

Steve Harrington — Teaching You Baseball

• When you agree to let him teach you baseball, he acts like it’s some super serious training session. “Alright, rookie, let’s see what we’re working with.”

• If you miss your first swing, he shakes his head dramatically. “Yikes. We got a lot of work to do.”

• He absolutely uses it as an excuse to stand behind you, adjusting your grip on the bat. “Loosen up a little. Here, let me—” and suddenly, his arms are around yours, and yeah, he knows what he’s doing.

• He definitely teases you if you get flustered. “Oh? Distracted? Can’t imagine why.” (The smirk he gives you is criminal.)

• When you finally hit the ball, he cheers obnoxiously. “Look at that! My little slugger’s getting good!” He even does a little celebratory fist pump.

• If you hit a really bad shot, he laughs but tries to make you feel better. “Okay, okay, that one sucked, but hey—at least you didn’t hit yourself in the face.”

• Eventually, it turns into competition. He steps up to the plate and crushes a ball just to show off. Then he looks at you with the smuggest grin. “Think you can top that, babe?”

• When you do manage to hit a better shot, he stares for a second before pretending to be unimpressed. “Eh. Not bad. Lucky swing.”

• If you lose the competition, Steve is supportive and careful not to make you feel bad. He reassures you that you just need more practice and you’re doing better than he was when he started. If you win… well let’s say Steve is conflicted between his ego and celebrating you. At first he might pout and be in disbelief but then he’d also be saying: “My baby’s a natural! You did so good!”

[usertoxicyaoi]

China is popping off damn I really hope they don't crack down on the methods they're using now to get around censorship ( co-productions filming abroad etc) and we get a steady number of dramas that get better in quality/length. Maybe they can even make one of the danmeis that aren't already made censored and never coming out. There are so many great ones, to be able to get one that's 40 episodes or so NOT censored with a queer love story at the center? Would be iconic. Especially the costume ones. Like trapped in osaka was beautiful even if so short, moon and dust is unhinged and kind of nonsense but I adore it, sparkle in your eye is angst central but oh so good and revenged love looks like it's going to be such a banger. Also the ABO one which from the trailer looks bad ngl and very low budget and all over the place but the audacity? The gumption to make it? I applaud it and hope it stays under the radar bc the way China operates the moment something explodes in popularity as seen in danmeis and even palace harem dramas that's when it's over. I'm just so glad Korea taiwan Japan and china are all stepping up ngl I find most Thai dramas unwatchable, the quality of writing has such a low bar for most of them and the production as well I'm not talking money wise bc look at these little productions from Japan or China or Korea you can tell they have no money but the way it's shot, blocked directed etc makes it feel real but a lot of Thai dramas look fake ? Idk how to explain it and I very much appreciate all the horny but man how about you focus on the quality of scripts and directors first because how do you make 150 dramas a year and countries that make 10 are outclassing you.

hiii anon!!!

yeah china are really doing The Most right now tryna skirt their way around censorship rules in the most creative ways possible, and i respect that huuuugley. and even in doing that, the content they're putting out feels so fresh yet authentic to classic danmei, or like, in the case of revenged love? it literally just feels like a modern day cdrama, in the way its shot, the pacing, the mix of humour with the romance, the world-building. i keep thinking i'm watching something like the best thing, idk, maybe bc that was the last modern day cdrama i watched. but its Giving. moon and dust just reeeeeeally gives me classic cbl vibes, man, and that makes me so soooo happy. trapped in osaka is MY BABY. it gave me EVERYTHING in 40 minutes. 100000/10 would DIE for hao yu and chen xi. sparkle in your eye is SO character driven, and i understand every single choice that su yi is making bc of it. the story telling is so SO well done. and there's still sooooo much more to come from china! the abo one? is called desire, and whilst i'm not really into that stuff, i'll be keeping an eye on it! and i've not even mentioned all the costume/wuxia ones! i'm just so very excited to see the stuff coming out from china!!!!!!

japan took a loooooong break this year, TOOOOOO long for me, but its back! and hishakai shindo is EVERYTHING japan excels at and dominates like no other: horny teenage angst. its gooooorgeous. its so brooding. its so melancholic with this clearly palpable underlying tension. its so classic jbl. and even tho i'm not watching it, i know my mutuals who are watching season 2 of i became the main role of a bl drama are having the most fun time with it! aaah i've missed my jbls so so so SO much!

same goes for taiwan! who will be back soon too! secret lover and the promise of the soul are ones i'm 👀👀👀, and if i know taiwan, i KNOW i'll be getting some BANGER dialogues and beaaaautiful cinematography.

kbls are hit and miss for me sometimes, but this year? they've had a VERY solid shout. secret relationships was the EXACT kinda toxic madness that i Knew south korea could deliver and did!!! ball boy tactics is EXCELLENT. i hope they keep this same momentum up! sukfilm is always a guilty pleasure watch for me, but never fair was one of their productions i reallly enjoyed this year!

i do also wanna shout out vietnam! they're quietly doing their thing but more people really should get on it!!!!! currently i'm watching my sweet brother in law and i'm having the time of my life with it every tuesday! O2 productions also put out some realllllly good stuff too, that i love watching.

i do also kinda wish that the philippines came back with some stuff. there was a time around covid when they were SMASHING it, one bl after the next after the next.

coming onto thai bls. mmmmmmm. its a Topic. there was a time, for about atleast i'd say, a gooood 3-ish years where i just dropped them. it just was not doing it for me. at all, apart from like, the odd one, like 4 minutes (bc i love bible and fuaiz but haaate be on cloud). and i don't do hatewatching. if i really am not vibing with something, i'll drop it, like i did my stubborn and only friends, for example. gmmtv in particular were just. infuriating for me. but i coud still see what was out there bc of my mutuals, so i knew what was on and what was hot. but yeah, this year, i decided to dip my feet back in, and try out non-gmmtv stuff, and i gotta say, gmmtv reaaaally need to pick up their game. idk what it is about their storywriting/storytelling, but it just ... lacks in the final cut on screen (and yes i am watching boys in love bc chokunaston have sooooo much potential and they're the one instance where i've enjoyed the writing for kimmon and how their issues are handled, like mon's stubborness and short fuse and kim's class clown but deep down wants to be taken seriously issues). yeah idk i just wish gmmtv paid more time and care and attention in working on the delivery of the script onto the screen. it's not even the acting that's the issue bc gmmtv has some stellar actors, but i always feel that there's just .... something lacking, always, where it doesn't quite reach the heart and moves you in a way. whereas studio wabi sabi has a case of dragging out the plot for faaaaar too long to the point where it just feels ... meh. between us ended up being like that and left me hugely disappointed by the end. but anyway. non gmmtv shows? the bangkok boy. OHHHHHMYGOD. its thailand's best bl airing right now. reset. THE LAKORN VIBES. i promise i will comeback. THE BEAUTY AND BUILDUP OF IT. i do love this approach thailand's having rn of integrating non-thai asians into the mix! south korea (the bangkok boy), taiwan (i promise i will come back) and japan (dating game). taiwan did it too in first note of love with orca (thai) and reese. its sooo fun. like. i don't even Mind the horny. i love it. give it all to me. revenged love is doing that rn too. but there needs to be some plot, good pacing, not feeling like 6 episodes in and i'm still at where i was in episode 2, some shift in the character's perspectives of one another/choices/attitudes/behaviours etc. ya know? and i get that thailand is asia's super powerhouse of making bls. i respect the grind. but its so overwhelming, so it was just really nice to step back and ... ya know, be picky and choose-y about what exactly it is that i vibe with, and then going with it, and enjoying my time with it!

so i get what you mean. even now, i'm still the type who is more drawn to bls from japan, china, taiwan, korea etc first, than thailand. idk? i'm the type who gets overwhelmed with popular stuff, and eventually i just lose interest in it bc it just seems like thai bls get that exposure and popularity so easily, that it makes me, as an asian myself, feel like, surely there must be other non-thai, asian bls out there too that deserve to be just as recognised and known for their endeavour. that shouldn't be so underrated or dismissed (i personally feel like jbls and cbls are still SO SO underrated and overlooked, for what reason, idk.). and once you look and find them, there's really no going back. and its why i love sharing them on here and making content for them! it truly makes me so so happy doing so, and even more when people on here end up enjoying those shows too! like i said, idk, maybe its bc i'm asian and i feel fiercely protective and passionate in some kinda way about it, but i want our work to be seen, and the efforts it takes for the not-so-popular and not-so-easily-exposed and it's-taken-so-much-creativity-and-courage-to-release-this-with-all-the-rules-in-place-against-us to be appreciated a little more too.

Note:I HAD FUN WITH THIS ONE AAAH- If I like accidentally make it seem almost like you're way shorter than you say, I'm sorry !! And for visual reference Noah will have his long hair in here! Also very sorry this is SUPER late!

Warnings: I made this like a domestic soft smut so, soft dom Noah, penetration, dirty talk, some love bombs in there, honestly just cute whole some sex with i love yous

Your alarm blares through the quiet room where your limbs were tangled with Noah's. Your hair was in every direction, Noah's shirt that was more of a dress on you rode up to just over your bellybutton. Noah's long arm reach for the bed side and dismissed your alarm. The same hand came back to your body and brought you into a bone crushing hug.

"Mmmm" you groan with a stretch " 'm sorry..." you apologize for the interruption of your alarm. It was one of the rare days you both had off and with nothing to do but be home with one another. So of course, you both made plans for the night before but never got to them when you fell asleep so fast.

"sorry for what baby" he half yawns

"the alarm" you answer turning your body in his hold so you can face him "how did you sleep?" you asked

"Good. Didn't have you leave you early" he smiles "Come on let's get up sunshine" he pecks your forehead.

"mmmmm laattterrrrr" he comes around to your side and drags you up by the hands with a groan

"Come on princess" he kisses your nose "We can make pancakes, your favorite"

"...with strawberries?" you ask with a smile

"All the strawberries you want"

He watched as you padded your way to the bathroom with him close by. You were wearing one of his baggier shirts and he loves when you wear them. Falling just below your ass. Perfection. There was visuals when you walked, sat down and especially when you bent over. It was perfect for a spank or grab. You both brushed you teeth and took a couple of morning mirror selfies. A lil ritual Noah loved to keep alive, and afterwards it was into the shower together.

On other days this shower may have been a bit steamier. However, he wanted to soak in the slow morning with you. You get out and dress into a pair of his boxers and one of your shirts this time and off to the kitchen you went. Noah grabbed the pancake mix and you got the strawberries to cut. One of Noah's favorite things to do with you was cook. For one making a great meal and doing it together. He loved getting a mix right and seeing the spark in your eye light up from the flavor. He loved coming behind you and holding your hand in his while his head rested on your shoulder and helped you cut ingredients. His long hair picked up in a messy bun while he coaches you

"that's it baby you got it!"

"My favorite little helper" were his go to lines when you're in the kitchen together. Soon your home smelled like sweet pancakes and fresh fruits. After a nice breakfast you sat on the counter and continued your conversation from earlier

"It's like...weird that we're both here on a day. For the whole day!" you smile popping another strawberry slice into your mouth. The sweet and slight tang of the fruit flooding your mouth. While you ate away at the berries you took a look over your boyfriend. He was leaning back against the counter opposite to the one you were sat on. His tall, slender figure, his tattoos, his soft hair, and that smile. Oh how that smile did things to you. You just thought to yourself, how utterly head over heels you were for him. The sound of his laughter, his passion, his love for you, everything made your stomach do flips. You were pulled out of your thoughts when he called for you.

"Huh? What was that?" you ask

"What you thinking about huh?" he smiles coming over to slot himself between your legs and lean his hands on the counter. His face coming closer to yours. The loos strands of his bun falling to gently frame his face. You lean forward and nudge your nose against his own

"Nothing...just looking at my man" you smile as your eyes drift into his own dark brown eyes

"Your man? Well I'm looking at my woman" he answers with a peck to your lips

"My moonlight" you say with a reciprocated kiss

"My sunshine" a deep kiss, his hands coming up to rest on your hips

"My baby" you whisper as your hands land on his to run up his arm and rest behind his neck

"my princess" his whispers back against your lips. He brings your closer to the edge, holding your body to his. You could feel his heartbeat against your own, nearly becoming one as your lips lock in a passionate dance. His hand glides up your back while the other holds you close by the small of your back. His other hand cradles the back of your head to deepen the kiss, you let your head fall limp in his hold. His lips leave yours painfully slow, leaving you wanting more from him. His eyes look into your love drunken ones, not a word was said as his lips gently ghosted over your skin, gliding down to the corner of your jaw where he began to peck at your skin. You bite down on your lower lip as he stops in a particular spot that he knows you love. Your hips give a subconscious roll against his own. He lets out a muffled groan against your skin, as his hips move against yours.

"Fuck baby..." he growls "So, fucking perfect for me." he picks you up from the counter and throws you over his shoulder bringing out a squeak from you.

"Do you have to carry me like this every time we decide to have sex?" you ask. The next thing you knew a hard spank came to one of your cheeks

"Yess I do. Keep that up and you'll get mor spanks" he threatened as he made his way to the stairs. Harper watching as Noah carried you up the stairs "You see what your daddy us doing to mama Harper?" she simply just tilts her head at you

"Harper, you hold down the fort like a good girl" Noah smiles as he disappears down the hall to your shared room. He drops you down on to the bed and you bounce with a giggle. He climbs over you and faces kiss from your collarbone up to your lips. Smiling into the kiss, his hand trace down your body and to the band of the boxers you were wearing. His slender fingers fiddle their way into your bottoms. His fingers coming in touch with just skin he breaks the kiss and says

"No panties? Awh was my pretty girl expecting to get fucked?" he smiles into the kiss

"maybeee" you sang an answer. He tosses the boxers over his shoulder, falling in to the floor with the rest of your clothes. Long forgotten as your bodies tangle with one another. His lips leaving mark in their wake along your skin, like a brush upon a canvas. His fingers curled within your squirming form. The sounds of your wet pussy like music to his ears. His slender fingers were the perfect length and width to find that magic spot.

“Yea Princess you like it there?” He asks into your ear as he pumped his digits just a bit faster with more force. Your legs begin to shake as your back arches off of the mattress. As he continues to pumps his fingers he positions himself between your legs.

He removed his digits, a stringy trail of your juices connect you both. A whine leaves your lips from him stopping

“Don’t worry princess” he said rubbing the head of his dick along your slit, using your juices as lubricant “I’m gonna fuck you just the way you like” he smirks as he finally pushes into you, bottoming out in one swift motion. Your wetness making it more than easy for him to glide right in. You sigh and be groans from the feeling.

His dick filled you perfectly, molded just for you. The thickness gave you a strange full feeling, you could cum just from him putting it in. He could feel you pulse around him, trying to milk his cock without any action

“Fuck baby….who’s pussy is this? Fucking right and wet…so fucking good” he growls as his hands come to the back of your knees, spreading your legs wider for his view

“Your Noah…please noah I need it..” you whine rocking your hips, getting only an inch of what you really want. Aligning himself he pushes the head in and slowly eases in, agonizingly slow. He finally bottoms out, he stayed there for just a moment. Taking in the feeling of your walls wrapped around him, the way your chest rose and fell. His hands trail up from your hips to your rib cage to your breasts, leaving goosebumps behind. His thumb rub over your nipples, making them erect. His hands gave them a squeeze as he brings himself out nearly all the way and thrusts back in.

"god baby...feel so good." he whispers as he steadily thrusts in and out of you. "does it feel good princess?" he asked

"So good! Please Noah harder !" you nearly beg him. He comes down close to you and engulfs your body with his own. You arms wrap about his shoulders as his thrusts grow faster and harder

"Yes Noah! R-right there! Mmm please!" you pant, your nails clawing at his back, grasping for something as the pit of your stomach burned with your approaching orgasm. The build up from before becoming greater

"Fuck Y/N! I love you!" he growls bucking into you in shorter harder thrusts reaching his end as your clamp around him

"I-I love you! Ah!" you moan feeling your core tighten and tighten until it finally snaps. You clamp and pulse around him as you finally cum

"Mmm yes baby Yes! shit...cum on my dick fuck!" he groans as he pumps himself faster, your cum mixing together as he fucks his cum deeply into you "Damn it, I fucking love you..." he pants as he litters kisses all over your skin "i love you, i love you....fuck I love you so much" he whispers as he rests his forehead on yours.

His tired eyes staring into your own. Both half lidded, dazed and full of love. Your skin hot and sweaty against one another, but it was the best feeling in the world.

You arms link around his neck and you bring your lips to his. In a slow, deep kiss. It wasn't just the sex talking you truly love him so much

"I love you Noah" you kiss his head as he lays on your chest, cuddling in close for a post sex nap. He laid and listen to your heart beat, and your breathing lulled him sleep instantly. This was absolute, bliss.

all of the girls you loved before

Carlos Sainz x reader

summary: In which you and Carlos reminisce your relationship on your wedding day.

based on the song All Of The Girls You Loved Before by Taylor Swift

warnings: -

author's note: AAAH. I'm not so sure about this. I just wanted to write something overly cute. I hope you guys enjoy this :) And please, let me know your thoughts!

word count: 2.4k

You were nervous but excited. With people rushing around you, helping you get dressed and put on your makeup and doing your hair, everything started to feel so much more real. The day was finally here. You and Carlos were finally getting married.

You could still remember the first time you laid on eyes on the man that you were soon going to be calling your husband.

It was race day in Miami and your friend dragged you to the GP against your will. You had never been interested in Formula 1 but agreed to go with her so that you wouldn't have to listen to her whine about it any longer.

flashback

The sun was shining high up on the sky and it felt almost burning on your skin. You were annoyed because your friend had went running off on her own somewhere and you were lost. The crowd off people walking around didn't help and even though you tried to call your friend over and over, she didn't answer.

Frustration was building up in the pit of your stomach as you desperately pushed past the sea of people in search of your friend. You had just about had enough of the aimless wandering when you suddenly ran into something — or rather someone.

"Oh," you let out a gasp, "I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

Your trail of thought came to a stop as you looked up at the handsome stranger you had bumped into.

Deep, brown eyes stared back at you as a small, apologetic smile was dancing on the strangers lips. He seemed to be in a rush and the driver suit hanging low on his waist should have been an indicator as to what was causing his rush.

"No, no, no, it's okay," he hurried to say.

You could hear the accent in his speech and it, along his very cute smile, made your legs wobbly. Your hands became clammy from the sweat and you could swear you were blushing just a little bit.

Something came over you. You weren't usually like this. You didn't really put yourself out there when it came to guys. But this time was different.

You extended your hand and said, "I'm y/n."

The stranger gladly accepted your handshake, taking your hand in his.

"Carlos," he said as he introduced himself. "Nice to meet you."

You could hear someone call his name from a distance. His gaze hesitantly pulled away from yours as he looked in the direction where the voice came from.

He let go of your hand, his eyes returning to yours. "I'm sorry, I have to go," he looked around for a moment as if he was waiting for a miracle - something that would inevitably tie you together.

Carlos, as much as you, didn't want this moment to end. From the very first time your eyes locked and your bodies touched, it felt like everything you had ever been searching for was right there in front of you. As if the stars aligned.

"Can I give you my number?" You quickly said. The words came out so fast out of your mouth they almost merged into something unrecognizable.

Embarraced, you started to rummage around your purse for a piece of paper and a pen.

"I'm sorry, I know you're in a rush," you scribbled numbers on the tiny piece and handed it to Carlos, "but if you want, you can call me. Or text me. Or something. Whatever you want. You don't have to-"

A laugh escaped Carlos' lips. He took the paper from your hands and you stopped rumbling.

"I'll call you. Or text you," he said and gave you a wink before he disappeared just as soon as he first appeared.

For a moment you stood still, thinking what just happened didn't really happen. You had to pinch yourself but it still felt so unreal.

You shook your head as your gaze dropped down on the ground, smile hanging from your lips. What did I just get myself into, you thought.

end of flashback

The door to the dressing room opened and your mom walked in. She had her hands on her mouth, hiding the fact that her mouth was wide open in awe as she saw you in your beautiful wedding dress.

"Oh, darling," she said, trying to carefully wipe the tears of happiness falling down her cheeks.

A wide smile grew on your lips and this time it was you who was trying to stop the tears from falling.

"You're gonna make me cry and they just finished my makeup," you told your mother as you pulled her in for a hug.

"I know, I know, I'm sorry. I'm just so happy for you." She held you by your shoulders, looking at you with a sentimental look on her face. It was a proud moment for her - seeing you get married.

There were times when you, along with everyone who knew you, thought this day might not ever come around. It wasn't like you didn't have men lining up, left and right, pining over you. But they just were never right or the timing was wrong. There was always something. It felt like no matter what you did, your relationships always came to a dead end.

That is, until Carlos came along.

flashback

Butterflies filled your stomach as you waited for Carlos. It was your first date and he had promised to come pick you up.

You looked around, the street busy with people coming and going. It felt reassuring to you to know that no one knew how nervous you really were. To know that you probably weren't the only feeling nervous at this moment.

Two teenagers walked by you. Their faces were lit up with bright smiles as they clung to one another. It looked like they were in their own world - like no one else mattered. You couldn't help but smile as well at the sight.

Soon enough Carlos was in front of you. He rushed out of the car with a bouquet of flowers in hand. Carnations. They were your favorite and the smile you had grew wider.

"Hey," Carlos handed you the flowers, "I got you something."

You graciously accepted them, taking in the smell and the colors of the flowers.

The two of you stood there for a moment, neither of you really making a move. The bouquet of flowers still in your hands as your eyes draw to it yet again.

A small, slightly nervous, laugh came out of your mouth. "Sorry, I-" Your sentence didn't find a satisfying ending. Instead, you just sort of shrugged and gave Carlos a hug.

"Thank you," you said, "for the flowers."

The vibration as Carlos hummed as an answer made you giggly. It was a new feeling for you, one no guy had ever made you feel.

"Should we?" Carlos shuffled over to his car, opening the passenger door for you.

You had no idea what he had planned for the two of you but you were eager to see what the night was going to bring your way.

end of flashback

The guests where sat down. Everyone was in awe at how beautiful the church looked as they waited for you to walk down the aisle.

Carlos was standing at the end on the long walkway leading to the altar. Lando, who had been chosen to Carlos' bestman, was by his side, holding a small box in his hands that contained your rings.

On the other side of the altar, your best friend was waiting for you almost as eagerly as Carlos. She was wearing a beautiful bridesmaid dress and she had a hard time keeping her composure. The two of you always had felt like you were long lost sisters and it was a big day for the both of you. Your best friend more than happy to see you tie the knot today with the man you loved.

Soon enough, music started playing. Everyone turned their heads towards the big double doors.

Carlos was holding his breath and Lando gave him a small pat on his back as a way of reassurance. Your mother was wiping tears of joy from her cheeks.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the doors opened.

flashback

"Babe?"

The house was quiet as you walked in. No lights were on and it seemed to you like Carlos might have been out somewhere.

You took your jacket off and put your bag down on the table near the door. Sighing, you walked over to the couch in the living. You had had a long day at work that left you tired and you couldn't wait to get off your feet.

As you were looking for the remote, hoping to turn on the tv and binge-watch whatever show you were addicted to at the moment, a voice coming from the other room startled you.

Carlos was calling your name and you finally realised he was, in fact, at home and not out as you had at first assumed.

You dragged yourself up from the couch, walking towards the sound.

Carlos was waiting for you in the dining room. Candles were lit and the table was set for the two of you. Flowers were arranged all around, giving off a nice smell. There was a bottle of champagne on the table with two champagne flutes to go along with it.

"What- what is this?" You asked, almost embarrassed with the state you were in after your long day at the office. The last thing you were expecting was a surprise dinner. Though, you were thankful since a hunger was creeping in your stomach.

Carlos had a wide smile on his face. He was nervous, his hands shaking slightly and he hoped you didn't notice.

"I wanted to do something nice for you," he said as he embraced you in a hug.

"Are you hungry?"

The timing was perfect as there were noises loud enough for the both of you to hear coming from your stomach right after Carlos' question. You laughed and told him yes.

Carlos took a hold of the back of the chair, pulling it as he gestured for you to sit down. He took the bottle of champagne and poured you a drink before sitting down himself and filling his glass as well.

The two of you wined and dined as you talked about your days. There was music playing quietly.

"Thank you, this was amazing. And the food was really good," you said with a smile as you put the cutlery down on top of your plate.

You were going to but didn't have time to get up. Carlos beat you to it. Pulling something out of his pocket quickly.

It was a small, black, satin box and as your eyes caught it, you knew exactly what Carlos was going to do next.

He was kneeling in front of you. The box flew open and it revealed the most beautiful engagement ring you had ever seen. The jewel shining bright as light reflected on it.

The surprise and happiness was evident in your face as Carlos' eyes met yours. He was trying to find the right words as he cleared his throat.

"Y/n," he started, "you have made me the happiest man on Earth. And sometimes I still can't believe this is real. That I get to wake up next to you, that I get to call you mine and share my life with you - with all the good and the bad."

Tears of happiness were beginning to form as you listened to his words.

"So, y/n, will you please do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

You jumped up from your seat, pulling Carlos up from the floor as well. The two of you holding each other in your arms tightly.

"Yes, yes, a thousand times yes," you screamed.

end of flashback

The look on Carlos' face was filled with so much love as he looked at you walking down the aisle. He was sure you had never looked more beautiful as you did in that moment.

Your father had his arm wrapped around yours and you couldn't have been more thankful. You needed the extra support as not to fall down in the high heels you were wearing.

Your mother was wiping tears away with a small handkerchief. There was a smile on her face. From the corner of your eye you could see your father look at your mother, a smile on his face as well.

The walk down the aisle felt long but it finally came to end. Your father giving a kiss on your cheek before he went to find his seat. Your best friend giving you a thumbs up.

A laugh escaped your lips. This was all you had ever wanted and you couldn't be happier.

The ceremony began. The priest giving a small speech. You and Carlos exchanged your vows. And finally the moment you had been waiting for since the day you first met Carlos.

"Do you, Carlos Sainz Vázquez de Castro, take y/f/n y/m/n y/l/n as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

Carlos held your hands in his as his brown eyes looked in yours.

"I do," he said.

The priest turning to you, he said, ""Do you, y/f/n y/m/n y/l/n, take Carlos Sainz Vázquez de Castro as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

"I do, I do, a thousand times I do," you said, referring back to what you had said when Carlos first asked you to marry him.

Your words made Carlos and your families let out a chuckle and you looked around the church.

The priest held a genuine smile your way. His gaze shifted between you and Carlos as he said, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Carlos pulled you in for a kiss. Your lips colliding as the crowd cheered loudly.

a ray of sunlight shines on your face through your bedroom window. you scrunch your nose at the bright, warm light beaming onto you, waking you much to your dismay.

ken is already up; you can tell by the smell of coffee. you roll over and reach for your phone on the nightstand.

8:29 AM. 1 new message from hinata tachibana, your best friend.

thank goodness for small miracles, you think to yourself. you let her know you'll be there, then make your way to the kitchen.

"mornin'," draken greets, "you're up early."

"g'morning, love. getting ready to head out?" you ask sleepily, standing unsteadily on your toes before placing a soft kiss on his lips.

"yeah, 'm running a little late. got plans today?" ken asks as he picks up his keys.

"hina wants to meet for brunch, that's all." you smile at him and grab a mug for yourself.

"hmm, sounds fun. i'll see ya later, baby." he kisses the top of your head and walks out the door.

"have a good day, ken. i love you!" you reply and blow him a kiss.

"love you too baby." he replies as he walks out the door.

11:25 AM.

you arrive at cafe flower and scan the patio for hinata. she waves her hand in the air to aid you in finding her. you acknowledge her wave with a gentle nod and approach the table.

"thank you for coming on such short notice! how are you? how's life with draken going?" she asks, visibly excited.

"good! we're good, thanks for asking. our two-year anniversary is coming up soon." you muse, mindlessly reflecting on life and its fast pace of moving.

"that's great! i'm so happy draken has you in his life!" hina beams. her smile, as genuine as the words she speaks. she's always loved love, for as long as you could remember.

"thanks, hina. i'm happy he's in my life, too." you reply. a waitress brings out some complimentary mimosas. hinata orders herself crêpes, you order french toast.

"i invited you here because i have some pretty exciting news, and a very important question..." hinata says as she hands the waitress the menus. she springs out of her chair, no longer able to contain her excitement.

"TAKEMICHI PROPOSED! WE'RE GETTING MARRIED!" she exclaims, extending her hand out to you, flashing the engagement ring that sat pretty and perfect on her manicured finger.

you beam at the ring. it was so perfect. so hina. "oh, hina!! i'm so happy for you! congratulations!!!" you shriek, hugging her across the table.

"thank you! i am elated, can you tell?!" she giggles.

"well?! how did he propose?!" you ask excitedly.

"oh, you know takemichi... he was a nervous wreck the whole time. so nervous, he ruined the surprise because the ring fell out of his pocket!" she giggles, "he took me to the pier under some fairy lights and asked me to marry him."

your heart flutters in your chest hearing about hina's proposal. "that sounds about right for takemichi," you giggle as the waitress returns with your brunch, "i'm so happy for you both!"

hinata thanks you and the waitress, then takes a dainty bite of her crêpes. she reaches to her side, then hands you a gift box wrapped in a bow. she marvels at you as you sift through the contents of the box.

"i can't tie the knot with out you. so... will you be my maid of honor?"

Part 2

1984

After receiving Shamila's letter and exchanging phone numbers, Steve and her mother agreed to meet in California during the school holidays...

Shamila is very excited because she'll be flying for the first time in her life, but especially for the rest of the trip...

The day before the meeting, the plane took off from Charlotte airport for a 5.5-hour flight...

Steve was notified as soon as the plane took off and started counting the hours...

He was so nervous that even Neal's playful attentions couldn't relax him...

S: Only an hour left until landing...😰😂🥹

N: Steve, try to relax a little, everything's going to be fine. Come by...🥹❤️

S: Do you promise me? 🥺

N: Yes, darling...🥰

You'll be a great dad, I'm sure of it...

S: Aaaaw, I love you...🥰

N: I love you too...🫂❤️

The guys were informed after the pressure of the letter had subsided...

They were obviously delighted for Steve and eager to meet the teenager…

The plane had just landed in San Francisco, and Shamila was surprised by the heat of California, which she wasn't used to...

Her mother had often told her about this state because she's originally from there herself...

M: Welcome to California, Sham! 😄

Sh: Thanks, mama, it's so hot here, haha, but I can't wait to visit the city... 😃

M: You'll love it, darling, I'm sure of it...🥹

Sh: I can't wait...🥹

Shamila and her mother waited in front of their terminal for the car that was supposed to take them to the meeting point, Herbie's office...

The wait for their transport seemed like an eternity to the young girl. She began to stress out, and her mother noticed it in the white knuckles of her fingers gripping her suitcase...

M: Nervous, my angel?

Sh: I... no... a little...

I don't really know what to think anymore, to be honest, everything's jumbled up in my head...

M: It's normal to think that, I suppose. You're probably afraid of being disappointed when you see him...

Sh: Yes, afraid of discovering a man I don't like, or worse, that he doesn't want me...

What is he like from what you remember?

M: Hmm!... It was a while ago... but he was kind, very considerate, very reserved too. To be honest, we didn't see each other for long...

Sh: Why did you break up?

M: I guess our life goals weren't the same. I dreamed of a stable family life, and he dreamed of being on stage. However, we parted on good terms, which is why it's not common for you...

I lost all contact with him after the move to Charlotte...

Sh: That's so sad, Mom, I'm sorry it didn't work out between you...😔🥺

M: You didn't do anything about it, darling...🥹

And if he didn't want anything to do with you, he would never have answered my letter...

Sh: I guess you're right...

The car finally parked, and they got in...

It took about thirty minutes to get to the studio...

Shamila got out, followed by her mother, looked around, and instinctively grabbed her mother's hand and held on to it like she did when she was little...

Sh: Mom, I'm terrified...😨😰

M: Everything will be fine, don't worry, I'll meet him first, remember...

then it'll be your turn...

And if anything upsetting happens, I'll be outside the door waiting for you, okay...🥹

Sh: Ooooouf!!! Okay, we can go then...

From upstairs in the office, Steve heard the car park...

He couldn't hold back his emotions any longer...

S: My God... There she is...😰

Neal, what do you see?

Neal looked out the window...

N: Aaah! I think I can see her... She's clinging to her mother's arm...

S: As scared as I am then...

That reassures me...😂😰

A few minutes later, the fateful knock sounded at the door...

H: Come in!

Shamila's mother came in alone...

Steve looked at her and greeted her, Neal did the same, then Herbie...

M: Steve! Thanks for answering, you look great...

S: You're welcome, that's normal...

You haven't changed either...

M: Thank you...

I'll be brief with you three...

Shamila is very nervous, just like you, Steve, I imagine, and she wishes she could talk to you alone for the moment...

S: I wish the same...

M: Then thank you! It's really important to her; she's dreamed of meeting her father since she was little...

Steve felt a weight lifted from his chest after this announcement...

M: She'll definitely have questions for you, but I prefer to let her handle this meeting...

S: I can't wait to see her. What's she like?

M: Beautiful, sensitive, kind, and very intelligent...

S: Aaaaw...🥹

Then, Neal Herbie and Sham’s mother left the office, leaving Steve alone to wait...

Then there was another knock, and he answered...

He first saw Shamila's back, her hair curly, like her mother's...

She saw Steve and felt emotion rise within her...

S: Hello Shamila...

Sh: Hello, sir...

Steve felt sad that she called him sir at first...

S : Oh not sir please, call me like you want 😅

Si : Can I call you Steve Maybe ? 😄

S : Sure 😁Finally, we're meeting...

Sh: Yes! Finally! 🥹

S : You’re really beautiful 🥹

Sh: Thank you so much ☺️

They stared at each other for a moment without speaking, Shamila not realizing it, and Steve feeling like he saw himself at the same age...

S: Let's sit on the couch...

Sh: Yes, thank you...

They gradually started talking, talking about their lives, what they like to eat, the activities they do, etc…

Then the subject of music...

Steve had noticed the Infinity T-shirt she was wearing and considered it a real treasure...

The more the conversation progressed, the more they discovered they had in common...

Laughter filled the room...

Shamila brought her mother's photo album with her...

She had to flip through the pages, which Steve looked at attentively...

Then two photos caught Steve's attention...

Sh: As you can see, Mom was pregnant...😌

S: Nice belly, haha...😂

Sh: And this photo taken on the day I was born...☺️

S: Aaaaw... You’re so tiny here 🥹

This photo of baby Shamila moved him deeply; he suddenly felt his heart clench with sadness...

Indeed, only 9 months separated him from her at that moment...

Tears welled up in his eyes...

Sh: Steve! Did I...did I say something wrong!?😰

S: No, not at all, don't worry! I just realized that I missed your entire childhood without even knowing you existed. I'm so sorry, forgive me...🥺😢

Sh: You have nothing to apologize for. Mom explained the circumstances of her pregnancy to me, and you had nothing to do with it...

I came to get to know you, and I want to continue...

But do you want that too?

Steve was very satisfied with this conversation...

He discovered in his daughter a very polite young person, which is rare according to him...

She was funny, and he found her very mature for her age...

He didn't want to let her go...

S: I want to keep seeing you, of course...

I sincerely want you in my life...

Shamila started to cry.

S: Shamila?

Sh: You have no idea how much I dreamed of hearing you say that...

Steve instinctively wiped his daughter's tears with his finger...

S: Aaaaw, dry your tears and show me your smile, you're so beautiful when you smile...🥹☺️😊

Sh: Thank you, Steve...🥹

GOO KIM, THE MONEY LOVER

Warning - ❪ ♡ ❫ : Minors dni, heavy explicted smut, Cockwarming, Begging, Sub x Dom, Reader is Female, Sadist x Masochist!

Pairing - ❪ ♡ ❫: Dom Fem Reader x Goo kim! sub

NSFW ! ❪ ♡ ❫

small intro! :

Goo kim loved his Money, he's selfish and won't share what is his. he always had a high image of his self, feeling a God complex. Like he's above all the Low life people..

Then why is it that a woman like you spurred these feelings deep inside of him, making him beg on his knees? kissing your ankles and the top of your feet. trailing all the way up till he reaches your thighs.

his eyes looking up at you with desperation, and your cold cruel eyes taking in his pathetic teary form. interwining your fingers into his hair tugging him up closer to your face. stopping him before he kisses your lips making the poor millionaire pout.

Cockwarming - ❪ ♡ ❫

everytime you sunk down on his lap no matter how many times you did it, the blondie always cries when you finally connect together after hours of teasing and edging. he wails hiding his face in your shoulder sinking his fangs on you. gripping your thighs scared you might move up again. you wipe away his tears and tell him he's doing so good that you can feel his dick twitch with excitement.

be careful not to tease this sweet energetic Blondie to much, or he might actually start dominating you, taking whats rightfully his and not caring about the concequences all he needs is to be buried deep inside of you. Pump pump pump his warm cum inside of you watching it drip out slowly as he's panting happy above you with a toothy grin showcasing his small fangs.

Masochist and Sadist- ❪ ♡ ❫

even though he was the second most feared man around, he was desperate to have you tease him. only sucking the tip of his cock while he's tied up not being able to thrust up or move. it stings it itches, he's trying so hard but your cruel.. poor guy's cheeks go red and a lot of whimpering falls out.

' i'll be good! i promise, please please touch me right!'

' am i not touching you right, goo? that upsets me i'm trying my best you know..-'' your voice teasing him further while making a sad face on purpose. but your getting turned on when you see tears falling down.

'no, no it's amazing..i just h-aaah want you more..'

and you oblige after all he's been nice and good, always coming back on time and getting you gifts so why not?

Reward - ❪ ♡ ❫ :

after you're done teasing him the blonde pins you down in the flash of light, his glasses hanging low and reflecting his tears. you lift your hand up to wipe them but he grabs both your wrists and pins them above your head. he starts biting on your neck and down your collarbone. you breathe heavily and he just smiles continuing his marking.

he gets back up looming over you with a mean smile, and puts your panties in your mouth to silence you.

' now it's my turn to tease you, pervert.'

I know i know it's waaaaay to short, but ivé been way to busy so..take this instead?

Goodbye y'all i'll see you soon i guess, stay safe ❪ ♡ ❫

[holybibly]

MADAMMMMM

How do you feel about the fact we’re getting new MATZ performance videos soon AAAH-

Now that their tour has officially started in America, maybe we’ll get new outfits, coats, hair…..

I’M SO EXCITED!!!!!😭💖

+ I hope you’re doing well and enjoying your summer the fullest!

🏝️🍹🍉💖

LOTS OF LOVE❤️‍🔥

When I see or hear MATZ all I can think about is Pretty Flushed and it seems like I'll be back in this universe much sooner than planned.

I just can’t deny myself the pleasure of pampering my bunnies with gorgeous mommy Alpha Hwa and equally stunning daddy Alpha Hongjoong.

My holiday is wonderful, if it weren't for this heat I'm sure I'd melt faster than ice in the sun. Not a summer girl at all.

How are you doing, my sugar bunny? Did you miss me?

I translate for my personal entertainment and for my own practice only.

Big thanks to @otomefiend 😘 who provided this ellis snippet so we(I) can live happily for another two weeks😍

Kate: "Thank you for going shopping with me, Ellis."

Ellis: "Hmm...if you have any trouble, please call me anytime."

Ellis smiles in the sunset as he lifts a large shopping bag with ease.

I wonder if they are preparing dinner in the city, and if you walk on the street, it smells delicious.

At the same time as feeling hungry, the gait on the way home becomes lighter.

(…….Huh?)

Kate: “Ellis, that is the way home, isn’t it?”

Ellis, who was walking next to me, wandered off to the side, so I hurriedly called out to him.

Kate: "Is it a shortcut?"

Ellis: "Ah...no. I was just a little dazed. Sorry..."

Ellis comes back next to me again, but his steps are unsteady.

Kate: "Oh, are you okay...?"

Ellis: "A little...hot..."

As soon as he murmured, Ellis's slender body tilted toward me.

Kate: “Ellis!?”

…

Kate: "I'm sorry. I didn't realise that you were not feeling well and even took you out...”

Ellis, who returned to Crown Castle and was diagnosed with a cold by Roger, is resting in the bed in the medical office.

(Why couldn't I notice it sooner........)

Ellis accepts my requests without making a single unpleasant face.

I was always spoiled by his kindness.

(I'm pathetic...)

Ellis: "I rarely catch a cold, so I didn't notice it either..... I'm sorry for making you worry."

My heart is tightened as Ellis cares about me even when he’s sick.

Kate: "Please don't apologise. Let's take a good rest now."

Ellis: “…….Yeah”

Ellis nodded a little and pulled the blanket up to his chest.

When I saw him lying there, I couldn’t help but feel a tingle in my hair—

Kate: "Um... if you don't mind, could you let me take care of you?”

…

Kate: "I got some lemon jelly from the kitchen! It's a classic when you have a cold, isn't it?"

Kate: "If you feel uncomfortable sweating, I’ll help you wipe it with a warm towel.”

Kate: “Also, water, ice, and anything else you would like, please let me know!”

Ellis: “……….” :0

As I prepare to take care of him and speak in rapid succession, Ellis rolls his eyes in surprise at me in bed.

Kate: "Ah... I'm sorry for making noise when Ellis is having a hard time….”

(Of course I'm worried about Ellis who caught a cold.….)

(I thought it was a chance to repay the favour on a daily basis, so I was too excited.)

Ellis: "It's okay, you’re not noisy. ....It's lively, isn't it?"

Kate: "I-I'll be careful..."

I can't stand the kindness of choosing words so as not to hurt me.

(Ellis left it to me to take care of him, so I have to do it well.)

Kate: "...You have to take some medicine first, so let's put something in your stomach."

Ellis: "Well, I want to eat the lemon jelly that you brought me."

Kate: "I see you have an appetite, that's good... Here you are"

I gave him the jelly and spoon on the plate.….but Ellis doesn’t accept it.

Ellis: "...I'm feeling a little tired, so could you feed me?"

Kate: “I understand! Could you open your mouth?"

Ellis: “Nn…..”

I gently insert a spoon into Ellis's small open mouth.

Kate: "How is it......?”

Ellis: ".....It's delicious.”

Kate: “Hehe, that's good. Then I'll go on the second bite, aaah.….."

Ellis: “aaah……”

Ellis, who opens his mouth defencelessly at my urging, is like a chick receiving food from his parents.

I'm so happy that he's being pampered, and carrying the spoon doesn’t bother me at all.

In the meantime, Ellis finished eating the jelly in no time.

Kate: “Is there anything else you would like me to do? Please ask for anything.”

Ellis: "Other than that......"

Ellis wandered his eyes and stopped at the pitcher I brought.

Ellis: "Well then....... Can you give me some water?”

Kate: “Of course!”

He continues to be obediently spoiled, and something like a desire to protect him welled up inside me.

After that, I devoted myself to taking care of Ellis.

Kate: “I've done everything I can to help you, but is there anything else I can do?”

Ellis: "If that's the case... I want you to sleep with me.”

Kate: "S-sleeping together...!?"

(Does that count as nursing......?)

Ellis: "If I sleep holding you, it will be warm..... Can I?"

(If you ask me with that kind of face, I can't refuse...)

Kate: ".....Well then, please excuse me."

I take the plunge and gently climb onto the bed.

(I have to make a place for Ellis to take a good rest.….)

Ellis: "......If you're at the edge like that, you'll fall."

Ellis hugged me vigourously as I lay down reluctantly.

Kate: “……..Uh”

I press my face so closely against Ellis's chest that I feel like I'm going to stop breathing.

My heart was struck by the faint scent of soap and the hot body temperature.

Ellis: "As I thought, it's warm..... Thank you, Miss Kate."

Kate: ".…..I'm happy to be of help to you."

I answered as best I could while calming my beating heart.

(I'm nervous, but...)

(I'd be happy to help you, Ellis.....)

Ellis: “Can I talk to you for a minute until I can get some sleep?"

Kate: "Of course. What shall we talk about?"

Ellis: "......I have something to ask you.”

Ellis: "Miss Kate, how happy were you to be with me today?"

Kate: “Eh……?”

I was caught off guard by the question that fell from above my head.

Ellis always asks people if they are happy.

But I never expected to be asked that question on the day I took care of him.

(It's hard to say I'm happy considering Ellis, who has a cold…..)

(However, this question has some important meaning for him......)

(I'll think about it in my own way and answer it firmly)

Kate: "...Looking back, I was happy to be able to take care of you."

(I was happy that Ellis spoiled me a lot himself and relied on me a lot as well.)

(You let me feed you, give you water, do everything for you......)

(.......Oh, that? Could it be.....)

Kate: "....Did you let me take care of you so obediently to make me happy?"

Ellis: “That’s one of it.... maybe”

(All my feelings were seen through........)

I was surprised, and then I couldn't help but smile, as is typical of Ellis.

Kate: "......You are always kind. I was going to repay the favour, but the favour has increased again."

Ellis: "Not really. It's also true that you saved me by taking care of me...”

Ellis: "It's true that I wanted to be with you."

Kate: “Well, that's good to know.......”

I'm even more happy to know that you're telling me from the bottom of your heart, not to make me happy.

(I wonder if the time will come when I can return so much happiness to Ellis with my own power......)

My desire to give back only grows, but I can't think of any concrete ways to do so.

(......Maybe I just have to do what I can do now.)

Kate: “I was happy to be able to take care of you, Ellis. But….."

Kate: "If you get better, I'll be even happier."

Ellis: “Then….., you're in safe hands."

Ellis: “Since Miss Kate took care of me, I'm sure I'll be fine in no time."

…Fin…

Masterlist

[kaiba-cave]

I'm so excited. I've been on credit counselling since April 2020, because I had a LOAD of debt (multiple credit cards and line of credit) that I was paying a ton of money for every month, and being credit cards, the minimum payments hardly covered the interest so they never really went down, and I wanted to move out but couldn't afford it without help. With their debt consolidation, all those bills went down to just under $300 a month, that I've been paying faithfully and on time every single month since then.

WELL, I got an email from them today saying hey, you're coming up to your final payment, let us know once you've paid it so we can close your file.

And I was like. Wait, what???? FINAL PAYMENT??? Huh???

I did not realize it was even this YEAR, let alone this MONTH. I thought I was on a six year plan, but it must have only been four. When I first bought my car back in 2013, it was a six year payment, so I must have been confusing the credit counselling with that.

I also don't check my credit counselling account very often, I just pay the right amount before the 15th every month like I'm supposed to. Last time I checked it was a few months ago and I still had over $1k to pay back, so in my mind that was equal to the last two years of payments I thought I had, lmaooo. But almost $300 a month, it adds up quicker than you think, so I don't know why I didn't realize it was so soon. I only owe $202 for this month and then I'll be finished. 😭

That's almost $300 extra I'll have per month and that's so helpful. I'll also be able to get a credit card again, but seeing as that's the whole reason I needed credit counselling to begin with, I won't be getting one any time soon, lol. I do want one eventually because it helps build your credit (and mine is literally in the gutters), and I'd like to have one mostly for veterinary emergencies. I do have pet insurance but I still have deductibles and regular checkups to pay for. But I have NO self control so I have to hold off on that for as long as possible, and when I do get one, not keep it in my wallet. 😂 And have one of the lowest limits possible, like no more than 1k.

This is literally just like a weight off my shoulders, especially since the last year practically I've felt like I've had NO money, like could barely cover all my bills and basic needs. And $300 isn't A LOT, but it sure does help. Hopefully I can manage to save some of it, even if it's only $100 or so per month. Would be nice to have that.

Aaah I'm so glad.

[pinkishhologram]
