#because matching is fun and cool and looks neat

[eyeofgender]

theres quite a few things i see a lot in Tenna arts and stories that kinda bother me a little now. ill try to keep the tone of the post neutral since i literally just learned about this stuff a couple days ago in my autism-induced research spree.

if his screen is broken, like all the way through, it would not display anything anymore. that thing where parts of a broken screen can light up and display a distorted image is for modern displays, but for a CRT, its either a full image or nothing. trying to display something with a broken screen would just cause him to radiate electrons, since theyre all hitting air particles and scattering before they can light up the phosphor. however, i think his face can be cracked and still work, because im pretty sure CRTs have a thick protective layer of glass in front of the glass of the actual screen. but if the inner part, or any part of the tube, is broken, the display would not work at all, and the guy would be basically done for, since you cant repair that part and it can be nearly impossible to find a replacement that fits. good angst potential. or you could fix it anyway with dark world healing magic.

for distortions of the image, he would not get any sort of vertical line-type glitches, since his screen doesnt have pixels really. i think hes able to get horizontal line-type glitches, if the scanning beam is messing up, but its not like the harsh-colored lines of modern displays, its like horizontally shifting parts of the image. like this:

the CRT is kinda more like a projector than a modern screen, so distortions would come in the form of warping and discoloration. magnets can indeed be used to cause distortions, but they can also be used to fix them, like look here:

i mean Tenna would probably have built-in degaussing so this would be unneeded but it could still be fun and useful for situations.

the case of a CRT TV is plasic, not metal. i suppose if youre going full robot with him his body could be metal, but his head definitely wouldnt be, and design-wise, i think it would be best to make the outer frame of his body plastic to match. up to you though i guess.

CRTs do have some wires and circuits, but the majority of the space is taken up by the big glass funnel-shaped tube. theres also the electron gun in the very back (inside the tube), with a heater to make it work, and some magnets(? i think?) around the neck to direct the beam. CRTs do NOT have fans. they have vents to release excess heat, but not fans. thats a computer thing (so Queen would have fans. SCC wouldnt.). they literally have a heater inside them, so theyre built to withstand the heat.

finally, i never see any Tenna stuff acknowledge that really high-pitched whine CRTs always make when theyre on, whether or not theyre displaying something. adults cant always hear it, but children and others with sensitive hearing can. this is literally the one thing i actually remember from the CRT we had as a kid. i could always tell when it was on, and would sometimes have to tell my parents because they didnt realize theyd left it on. i found it kinda annoying i think but i dont remember much. anyway i think itd be fun for the gang to be using that sound to try to locate Tenna, but its difficult because high-pitched sounds travel far and its hard to tell which direction theyre coming from. or they can tell that hes Dead dead because hes not making that sound anymore.

CRTs are actually kinda cool as hell and really unique compared to modern displays, and i feel like stuff involving Tenna is kinda underutilizing it. could be used for some neat scenarios. though take this all with a grain of salt. im fairly certain this is mostly correct, but i couldve easily misunderstood something, since my research was more focused on what theyre made of than how they work, so definitely correct me if im wrong anywhere. anyway heres a neat resource i found:

A very fed up concorde for your eyeballs

civilian au: vtuber shiesty mark

I headcanon that Shiesty struggled financially growing up. Unlike the others, he didn't have access to a secure house and Debbie struggled to put food on the table. She juggled multiple jobs and her son getting labeled as a troublemaker at school and hanging out with the wrong crowd made it difficult to be the ideal mother.

Eventually, she died and Mark dropped out of school. He committed petty theft with his friends, but he never killed anyone and avoided physical altercations. He was the type of robbers who are all bark and no bite, which is still a bad thing but he didn't like hitting people.

He lived in a dingy apartment with barely any furniture. He kept it clean, but not neat. He also taught himself how to cook decent meals under 25 dollars because he got sick of eating instant noodles everyday.

At some point, Mark gets his hands on a gaming laptop. He always wanted one but Debbie couldn't afford any, but now he can finally play.

He started streaming for fun, just his voice. He didn't expect to blow up in popularity. He has a handsome voice plus he can be funny without trying so he has a lot of fans.

He uses most of his money on his friends and to get better gaming equipment, but he never intended to move to a better place. 

A lot of fans want him to do a face reveal but he's too shy, plus he knows that if his looks don't match their expectations they'll abandon him, so instead of showing his face he saves up and commissions for a really cool-looking Vtuber model. (I haven't decided what that would look like. You guys decide your own headcanons.)

He avoids drama and keeps a professional distance from everyone, fans and colleagues. He just wants to play, he isn't interested in dating, and if he were, he wasn't going to use his job to find a partner. All in all, he's a successful dude.

He can be toxic though in that he shares a lot of male players’ cozy games aren’t games mentality. He doesn’t go out of his way to bully others for calling themselves gamers for playing The Sims or Infinity Nikki, but you just know he’s one of those guys.

But then he meets you. (How? I’ll leave that to you.) Love happens and you become his first and only serious partner.

He starts branching out from his typical content (fighting, action, racing, shooting, RPGs–the so-called “serious” games) and tries cozy and casual games. 

He loses a portion of his original audience for this but he ends up attracting even more fans, especially since he gets so serious about the silliest things, like building the perfect house and decorating the best office for his partner’s in-game character.

He’s a puritan when it comes to gacha and discourages spending as much as he can. When he does pull for a new character or weapon or costume, he has you sit with him.

During streams you would knock softly on his office door (yes, you eventually moved in together) and if he can, he’ll pause his game and greet you. When you “interrupt” his streams it’s usually to give him a snack or drink. His viewers like to make bets about what’s on the menu because that’s how often you do it.

He always tells you his schedule so you know when he can’t open the door. During those times, you will knock to let him know and then leave the tray outside for when he gets a break.

Make Them Blue (Clay x FemReader) *Blurb*

Summary: It’s No Nut November and, as per tradition, Clay stubbornly takes part like he always does…every year.  However, unlike the past times, you’re not nearly as supportive.  Going out and buying something so spicy, so tantalizing.  That you’re sure he won’t be able to resist or deny his little slut what she wants.      

Warnings: 18+ (mdni), because there’s sooo much of the smut.  Thigh fluffing, fun from behind (giddy up), dom whiskey neat, slight teasing/edging, and…  his thick, long dick.

Notes: Happy No Nut November all you, lovelies! 🤍💙

- “Desk…now…”

- With the snap of his fingers, you scamper…bend forward, over it.  Body shivering, nipples pebbling from the cool sensation of the polished surface.  From the anticipation and thrill of observing in the mirror’s reflection as Clay discards his suit jacket and vest on a nearby chair.

- “Oh, sweetheart,” he chuckles, tsks gently.  Rolling up his sleeves, shrugging out of his spenders.  “Couldn’t stand to behave a minute longer…”  Smirk pulling at the corners of his mouth, while he approaches from behind.  “…could you?”

- Big hands glide, ascend your thick legs.  Palming and rubbing your squishy globes through the silky fabric.  Causing sparks and tingles of pleasure to erupt, run rampant.  Sweet, tiny coo falling from your parted lips.  “Mew…sorry.  I just really needed it.”

- “Needed…what?”  He echoes; voice dropping lower, growing more gravelly.  Blue eyes locking with yours, hint of something dark flickering behind them. rounding it out.  “My attention…”

- Nimble fingers fiddle, play with the delicate hem; push, bunch the white teddie up over your full hips.  Revealing your garter belt, matching sheer panties.  Lightly calloused tips linger on, trace the curve of your cheeks for a moment.  Snaps the flimsy waistband, nudges them to the side.  “My touch…”

- Metal clinks, tinkle softly.  Your gaze focused intently on the sight of him unbuckling his belt, unzipping his trousers.  The dark spot soaking, forming on the front of his boxers…along with the prominent bulge that strains them.  “Or maybe…”

- Freeing his painfully hard, leaking length.  Pumping it lazily, spreading and covering it in a milky layer of his pre.  He smears the excess, wiping his hand clean on your plush thighs.  “My cock…”

- “Everything,��� you whimper.  Hips canting back into his; seeking out relief for your ache, burning desire.  Moist, warm core brushing at his fat head.  String of tacky slick connecting the two.  “Please…I need everything.”

- Leaning forward, Clay presses his still clothed chest against your exposed skin.  Using his weight to pin, hold you down.  One hand grips your hip firmly, for good measure.  “Since you asked so nicely…”

- The other ventures lower, seeking out and finding your sensitive bud.  Circling, tugging on it a bit harshly.  While he teases, prods your entrance; occasionally slipping past the tight rim, but just the tip.  “I'll give you it all…”

- Stream of desperate, small mewls and squeaks bubble up from your throat.  The heat pooling inside your stomach so intense, overwhelming.  “But…”  That you weakly attempt to impale yourself on him, only to have him jerk away.  A solid smack landing on your backside, curves bouncing and jiggling from the recoil.  “By my terms…”

- Repositioning, grinding against your thighs.  He ruts slowly, covering the supple flesh with his pearly essence.  Continuing to toy with your clit when he suddenly flicks his hips.  Sinking between your pillows, just below your trembling cunt.  Groaning, growling in your ear.  “Because you're the one making me lose the bet…”

- Without remorse, he begins to thrust at a brutal pace.  Smug, almost proud look on Clay’s handsome face as he watches how he pleases himself.  How he uses your body to get off, to chase after his own blissful high.  “All because you’re nothing more than a spoiled…”

- Nails scrape and scratched at the desk; sending papers, various items crashing to the floor.  You wriggle, whine beneath him.  Begging, pleading for him to pound your pussy; that it’s been too long since you’ve felt him stretch, ruin you.  Come on and all over his dick.  Instead he nibs, bites your neck in warning; continues to rub your skin raw.  “Bratty…”

- Slamming roughly on last time; sending you lurching forward, scraping across the wood.  Fingers dig into your waist, pinch your nub hard.  As Clay paints the inside of your thighs creamy white.  Staining your panties, garters, lacey thigh-highs.  Soiling them along with your own juices.  “Little Slut…”

- A few stray fat drops trickle, drip down.  On to the floor, onto to his phone.  The screen lighting up.  Showing a picture of you sent earlier, wearing the same skimpy lingerie set to the background.  “My little slut…”

[merumis]

you gave kuroo a notebook last may—he hasn't quite had the courage to open it yet.

it's almost august now; it's that sticky kind of heat outside, the one that clings to both his skin and the inside of his lungs, so he's stuck in his childhood room. there's a rickety fan that keeps blowing half-cooled air into his face and downstairs, he can hear his father talking to his grandparents. something about dad's hardware store, something about a new employee, something about grandma wanting to make grandpa's favorite for dinner tonight.

the fan keeps lifting the cover of the notebook up. it's sitting on kuroo's desk. to his right, between all the remnants of last semester's college apartment that he couldn't leave there this summer: an air purifier his mom sent him (it was a peace offering, he thinks, after a particularly bad phone call. he doesn't think he forgave her), a box of his dishes, filled with cracks from his shitty dishwasher, and a bread basket you thrifted him. just to name a few.

and still, between the clutter, the breeze from the fan lifts only the cover—just enough for it to catch his eye. he reaches over to grab it, playing with the cover, bending the spine and flicking through the pages. it's an old notebook, well-worn and imprinted by your fingertips. the leather bends and gives where you would've held it, or where it would've jumbled around in your bag—molded by textbooks and pencil cases and your laptop.

he supposes he'll see you again next month, so now is as good a time as any to open this. you've been awfully incurious regarding this whole thing—sending him texts about your and his internships more than anything else. he's been partially grateful.

it's not that he doesn't want to read it. he doesn’t know quite how else to say it. he’s watched you scribble in this thing over the course of the year. it’s almost always late at night, in his bed or yours, lit only by his half-broken lamp or yours, gifted by a professor who you get lunch with every other week.

it was never that he didn’t want to read it—he means it, really. he’d always try to sneak glances while you were writing in it, and you’d tsk and laugh at him while pulling the papers up to your chest. in a weird way, it felt wrong to read it after you’d given it to him—like he hadn’t earned it, or like he’d be looking at something all too personal that hadn’t been there during all those failed attempts.

the fan lifts up the cover again, and this time, he sneaks his index finger under it, flipping to the first page.

i don’t normally fill the first pages of notebooks, it reads, scrawled out in your too-neat handwriting that he’s always made fun of. but it’s a good thing, you continue, because this way i get to fill this page with this. you finally get your way, tetsurou. you can read the notebook. i’m so—underlined three times, drawn a little darker, he can feel the sarcasm seeping through the pencil led—proud of you.

and then at the bottom, one more bit.

and by the way, do NOT tell me when you read this. don’t even mention it to me at all. this is embarrassing enough as is.

he lets out that stupid breath of laughter through his nose. those uninterested texts suddenly make a little more sense. he turns the next page.

i’ve met someone infuriating, it reads. crooked smiles, tequila-drenched breath, eyes made just to match. he leans in close when he speaks, laughter bubbling between words and fanning his warm breath across my ear and neck.

and then there’s that pull. i couldn’t put a name to it if i tried. that sweet tingling across my skin whenever he gets close enough; it feels like someone’s placed magnets beneath the surface of my flesh, and he’s holding their pair.

i knew we were going to kiss before he ever got that close—and i think he did too. he was too warm, too enticing, too, well, magnetic for anything else. and i love watching his brows furrow at the sound of my voice—indifferent, maybe a little cold. a comment about his big nose in return for one about my pretty eyes.

and all at once, kuroo knows this moment. the fan acts as a poor imitation of the cool october breeze—but it feels similar, all the same. it wasn’t quite halloween but at every party, you could see hints of it popping up in the corners. window decals of a witch and a ghost hanging in someone’s room, pumpkin carving kits tucked against the wall because no one had planned for a place to store them.

it was hardly the first time he’d talked to you—much less the first time he’d seen you—but you are right. he did know he was going to kiss you that night.

the fan catches one of his old posters behind him—making the thick paper scrape against his wall. the noise makes him turn. it’s an old periodic table (groan) and now it’s starting to get a little tattered at the edges. the fan catches again, this time on the notebook, and flips to another page.

kuroo allows it—call it fate or languor—and flattens out the notebook onto this new page.

i don’t know if you know this, it starts, but you fell asleep last night. shocking, i know, but it was before me, in my bed. you were sprawled out on my sheets—taking every inch of space you could in my mediocre full-size.

two weeks ago you told me you loved me. i didn’t know what to say. i laughed and kissed you and maybe said thank you. you took it like a champ while i dipped tofu into panko crumbs.

but tonight, i whispered it to you. once, twice, a third time—my lips brushing against the curve of your ear. i stopped every time you tossed or turned—i love, i would begin, and then hold my breath until your body stilled against mine. you, i breathed out. warm and all mine for tonight.

and kuroo has always known that you’re a writer—a good one, at that, from all those nights reading over your latest essay or poem for class, but this is different.

you like to write break-up poems for class—all about him, all fictionalized (he hopes) and all there to get a bit of a rise out of him, he knows. you love to write about the grand, the grotesque, things that he couldn’t put words to describe and you always did.

you had never written about him like this. or not to his face, anyway, and yet here it was—laid out in front of him, your handwriting looping around the college-ruled lines.

he flicks through a few more pages, fanning them out underneath the slow glide of his thumb—the fan swirling them in front of him faster than he wants, so he has to do it once, twice, and then again—a third. they’re not all about him, some are about her roommate, others about an essay or a concept that kuroo couldn’t put a name to. but most center him—in one view or another.

his grandmother clatters a few pans downstairs, a sharp clanging of metal hitting just beneath his floors. he can hear his dad call to her, his grandfather watching the tv 4 clicks too loud.

but here, with his rickety fan and tattered posters and his claustrophobic childhood scattered around him, he also has you. his phone buzzes next to him.

i think my job hates me btw, you send, and then another. how was your day off?

good, he replies, read a little.

anything good?

and because kuroo is so compliant to your word—perhaps maliciously so—he replies.

eh. not really. he smiles to only himself. maybe i’ll tell you about it later.

Them With An Autistic S/o

Ot7 x Reader

Summary: How the members would handle/react to their S/o being on the spectrum.

Warnings: Mentions of sensory issues, feeling over/under stimulated, depression, meltdowns, stimming.

A/N: Thanks to the lovely anon who requested this! This is a list I’ve actually wanted to write for a while, but I’d been slightly nervous/unsure about it. But as someone who’s also on the spectrum, I know how much comfort similar posts from other blogs have brought me! I also tried to keep this one a bit lighter, since someone asked for a separate list about meltdowns/shutdowns, but if there’s any specific reactions/hcs like this that you guys want, let me know! (Please note that these are based off my own knowledge/experience, so I’m sorry if they don’t fit for everyone)

Masterlist

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

Jin:

I feel like he’d be slightly confused and worried at first because he’s not sure what to do/how to help you, but once you explain a bit more, he gets a lot more comfortable, and really is such a good caregiver when he needs to be.

Catches onto your different stims pretty quickly and what each one means.

Like, y’all have whole conversations solely through funny little hums and stim noises.

Really good at reading and matching your mood/energy. You wanna talk about the Mayans nonstop for two hours? Cool! You want to just sit silently and do nothing? Also cool!

He’s really good at normalizing your symptoms and making them seem like nbd(because to him, they aren’t) Food sensitivities? He’s got them too! You hate loud noises and crowds? Same Honey, let’s get the fuck outta here! He knows they’re not quite the same thing, of course, but if it makes you feel more comfortable and safe being your true, unmasked self with him, then that’s all that matters to him.

Really good at calming you down when you feel overwhelmed or on the verge of meltdown.

Does his absolute best to bring your mood up whenever you’re struggling or feeling really down, pulling out his best dad jokes(even if they don’t make sense to you), bringing your favorite snacks, etc.

Yoongi:

I think he would handle it really well. Does his research after you tell him, and asks you about it casually during dates/hangouts.

So fucking respectful of your boundries. If you prefer to have your own space, he’s totally fine letting you do your own thing. If you need more closeness and cuddles, he’s all over that too, letting you sit right next to him while he works.

Not only lets you rant about your special interests, but makes the effort to take interest in them and asks questions. Randomly buys you little things related to them.

He’s so calming and soothing when you’re feeling stressed or overstimulated, understanding whenever you randomly need rest or quiet time(stress nap buddies)

Keeps things like extra sunglasses and headphones in his bag for you, just in case you forget yours.

Would have a lot of fun if you have audio stims, letting you listen to his new songs because your reactions and enthusiasm are so cute to him. Makes you panning audios as gifts.

Always there to look out for you whenever executive dysfunction decides to kick your ass. Washes the dishes, doing the laundry, restocking your safe foods, etc. He would also be really good at body doubling.

Hobi:

I honestly think he would be really good with an S/O on the spectrum. Like, he literally designed Mang, who is soo ND coded like omg😭, so I think he would be able to understand you really well.

(if you haven’t seen the videos of him talking about Mang’s personality and character traits during the re-design process last year, pls go watch them, I almost cried)

Loves buying you new fidgets and stim toys whenever he finds new ones to try(he even has a collection of chewlery that he wears bc he thinks they’re neat).

Is really good reading you and distracting you when you start to get overstimulated or anxious, sometimes noticing before you do.

Lowkey protective over you in spaces and situations he knows are stressful for you, positioning himself next to you whenever he spots things he knows bother you.

You know how Yoongi described him as a vitamin? That’s how it is for you now too.💛

He’s so stimmy himself, so he would find a lot of your stims really relatable and endearing. Like, if you start happy stimming, he can’t help but join right in, bouncing or squealing with you. It makes him so happy that you feel comfortable enough with him to share those parts of yourself with him.

Namjoon:

Instantly super supportive when you told him, making an effort to research on his own, as well as listening to your personal experiences to understand as much as possible.

Happily sits and lets you info-dump about your special interests. He honestly loves seeing you so passionate and animated about whatever you’re talking about and loves getting a glimpse into how your mind works(it was probably during one of these moments that he realized he was in love with you)

Surprisingly good pebbler, he’s always finding cool rocks or shells for your collections.

Doesn’t mind speaking for you on days when you’re nonverbal.

The sweetest when you’re feeling overstimulated. He closes all the curtains to make it dark and cozy and sits with you, talking as softly as needed or not talking at all, tapping your hand gently now and then to let you know he’s still there.

Soo protective over you, almost to a fault at times. Like, you might have to scold him once or twice about babying you, but he really doesn’t mean to, he just wants to make sure you’re safe and happy.

The world feels a lot less scary tho with him next you. You know if you need anything, he’s got your back.

Jimin:

The softest boi🥺 He was honestly a little scared when you first told him, because he didn’t want to do anything wrong and was worried he wouldn’t be ‘good’ at looking after you, but he quickly relaxed and grew more confident as he learned more from you.

The best comforter when you’re feeling overwhelmed or depressed, full of quiet reassurances and long hugs(if you’re okay with those). He’ll gladly cuddle with you under your weighted blanket for however long you need to feel better.

Literally set up a little “nest” for you at his place with a like beanbag chair and your favorite types of blankets/pillows, so you have your own place to just ‘be’ and recoup when you need it.

Carries fidget toys and sensory aids like sunglasses and headphones with him at all times, just in case you need them.

Really good at communicating with you on days when you’re nonverbal, whether through texts or little notes(which he always adds little doodles on to make your smile😊)

Makes sure you never feel guilty or like a burden to him for letting him in on those tougher days. If anything, they make him love you even more because of the trust you have in him.

It really makes him feel so proud and happy inside that you find so much comfort in his presence and that he gets to take care of you.💜

Taehyung:

Another that I think would be particularly good with a neurodivergent S/O. Like, everyone jokes about how he’s weird, so I think he’d love that you’re both your kind of own unique kinds of ‘weird’.

Happily rewatches your favorite comfort shows/films with you, and speaks in fluent film quotes with you.

Loves when you fidget and stim with his hands or fingers.

If you like pressure stims, he’s a dream come true. Like, the man’s a living weighted blanket, so when you basically give him a doctor's note for cuddles? He’s never gonna let you go.

As relaxed as he might come across sometimes tho, he’s super observant of your stims and triggers and takes it so seriously whenever you start feeling overwhelmed or stressed.

It doesn’t matter where you are or what you’re doing, if you need a break, he’s getting you to a quiet place where you can sit and just recalibrate.

Rivals Jin and Yoongi for top spot in the acts of service department on your bad days, making sure you eat properly, doing any household chores that need done. He even learned how to wash your weighted blanket so you don’t have to.

Jungkook:

Was definitely a little lost and overwhelmed when you first explained everything to him, but he really takes it in stride and tries to learn as much as possible to help make things easier for you where he can.

The King of comfort squeezes. Like you’ve seen his arms, he gives the best hugs, I just know it(especially on those “the weighted blanket isn't enough, I need a hydraulic press” days)

Loves learning about your special interests. Like, It’s no longer just your special interest, it’s our special interest. He’s even studying and finding things for it on his own to surprise you with.

Honestly plays with some of your fidget toys more than you do, lol! You might even end up giving him a few of his favorites😊

Gets super happy and smiley whenever you get echolalia of his songs.

Another member of the protective squad, ain’t no bad stimuli getting to his baby if he can help it!

The gentlest with you when you're overstimulated or having a tough day. Anything you need, he’ll do without question. All he cares about is making sure that you feel safe and comfortable🥺

Kinktober Day Sixteen: Public - Hyunjin/Felix

Tags: Exhibitionism, public handjobs, oral sex, fwbs(?)

AO3 Link

Felix and Hyunjin had an interesting relationship. They were friends, best friends in fact. They were just a little… closer than most friends typically were. Hyunjin wasn’t that touchy but Felix was, and because Felix was and Hyunjin could never say no to him, they were constantly glued together. They often shared the same bed, they held hands, Hyunjin let Felix kiss him whenever he really felt the urge, and sometimes he would kiss him first. 

But they had never gone any further than that. There was always some sort of tension that followed them around, setting the air static whenever they were together. Sometimes when they kissed Felix would get a little too worked up, the soft pecks that were there just for comfort and affection turning into something more. They never let it lead to anything else. 

Then they went on vacation to Japan. There was a long list of activities they had planned, and one of those activities was to visit a bathhouse. Felix had come up with the idea since he always thought it looked fun. There were no ulterior motives behind this idea, even if he did feel a little more attraction for Hyunjin than what was considered platonic. 

But the electricity that followed them everywhere didn’t leave them when they went to the bathhouse either. In fact, it was worse. Felix should have known it would be worse. Because honestly, what had he been thinking? 

He’d seen Hyunjin naked before, but only briefly. He knew what he looked like, but he’d never looked too closely. That was crossing some invisible boundary they had, the one that hadn’t been crossed in their abnormally close friendship. But now there was no way he could look away. 

He had never been so grateful for a towel in his life. That was the only thing keeping him together as they made their way from the showers to the communal baths. 

“I’ve never been somewhere like this before,” Hyunjin said, looking around. “It’s pretty neat though.” 

Felix had to shake himself out of his Hyunjin focused daze and actually pay attention to him. Not his body or the way his bare chest was slightly flushed from the shower. “Y-yeah, uhm, it is pretty cool.” Felix cleared his throat. “I’ve heard about them so since we’re being all touristy I thought we should get the full experience!” He smiled at Hyunjin and Hyunjin smiled back. His heart felt so full. 

“Cute,” Hyunjin said, reaching out to ruffle Felix’s hair. A match was lit and the static in the air caught fire. Felix was going to pass out, and it had nothing to do with all the steam in the air. 

There were clusters of people spread throughout the bath, most of them by themselves with a few couples here and there. Felix and Hyunjin made their way to an area of the pool that was farther away from most of the groups and started to remove their towels. Felix felt his heart rabbit in his chest as he dropped his towel, feeling a little more exposed than he was anticipating. Hyunjin removed his right next to him and he had to take a deep breath to calm himself. All he had to do was not look and he would be okay. He would be perfectly fine. 

Against his control, his eyes turned to look at Hyunjin. His breath caught in his throat. Fuck . Now he wouldn’t be able to look away. Hyunjin just got more beautiful every time Felix looked at him. He had been working out more lately and it was clear by the ridges of muscle along his upper body. His black hair was still dripping from the showers and that somehow only made him look prettier. Felix was utterly fucked. He always tried not to do a deep dive into his attraction to his best friend but this was making that nearly impossible. 

If Hyunjin noticed Felix’s staring he didn’t comment on it. They eased themselves into the hot water and Hyunjin let out a sigh that had the hairs on the back of Felix’s neck standing on end. He licked his lips and swallowed thickly. 

“Ahh, this is so nice,” Hyunjin groaned. “I feel like my muscles are already relaxing.” 

“Mine too,” Felix agreed shortly. He didn’t trust himself to speak at the moment. He was afraid of what would come out if he said too much. 

“You really have the best ideas, Lixie,” Hyunjin said. He leaned back, rested his elbows on the edge of the tub. The picturesque image of Hyunjin looking so content and relaxed, head tilted back to display the perfect column of his neck, plus his compliments were making Felix dizzy. 

“Thank you, Jinnie-hyung,” Felix said with a soft smile. Heat swirling in his stomach and he realized quickly that it wasn’t because of the water. “I’m glad you like my ideas. Having you here makes it so much more fun.” 

Hyunjin gave Felix a look that he couldn’t decipher but then it formed into a smile, his eyes scrunched to crescents. “I like everything about you, Felix.” The weight behind his words settled on Felix’s chest like an anvil. He swallowed thickly. 

“You know I like everything about you too,” Felix said, wetting his lips. Hyunjin held his gaze for what felt like too long and then Felix could’ve sworn he saw his eyes go down to his lips. The tension had become a forest fire. They had kissed before, but never in public. Surely Hyunjin wasn’t thinking about that. He rarely initiated anyway, so he wouldn’t. Right? 

He tried to shake it off by looking away and paying attention to something else. He began to make conversation with Hyunjin, trying to distract himself by talking. But all he could focus on was Hyunjin’s lips, the way they moved when he talked, the way his tongue would sometimes peek out to wet them. Hyunjin seemed to get closer as they talked too, closer than was okay for friends in any setting. At some point his hand had slipped under the water to settle on Felix’s bare waist as he talked and he could hardly focus on any word Hyunjin was saying. 

At some point, the tension started to burn him too. He knew he’d lost all sanity when a lull came in their conversation, nothing but silence and sharp gazes between them, and he asked, “Hyunjin-ah…is it…is it okay if I kiss you?” 

Hyunjin’s eyes widened and Felix began to backtrack, but Hyunjin smiled and nodded. “Yeah, of course, Lixie.” He turned to fully face Felix and wrapped his arms around his waist and pulled him in. He pressed their lips together and Felix closed his eyes, melting against Hyunjin like chocolate. It started out sweet, innocent, like their kisses often did. But it was clear they were both affected by the tension that was in the air as the kisses became deeper, more incessant. The grip Hyunjin had on Felix’s waist tightened and his lips parted, allowing Hyunjin more access to his mouth. He wrapped his arms around Hyunjin’s neck and tangled his hands in his long, damp hair, pulling at it lightly when Hyunjin began to lick into his mouth. He moaned quietly, barely taking into account that they were fully making out in a public bathhouse. They were lost in their own world. 

It was when Hyunjin began to nip at Felix’s bottom lip, tugging it between his teeth, that Felix noticed a predicament between his legs. His breath hitched as Hyunjin began to pull him closer and he realized Hyunjin would be able to feel him . He would be able to feel that he was getting hard. In public. From making out. 

In an instant, he pulled away, Hyunjin’s hands falling from his waist. His lips were swollen and his pupils were blown and Felix wanted him more than anything but the wave of shame washing over him was stronger. “I–uhm, s-sorry,” he stuttered. He coughed a little, the rough, wrecked sound of his own voice startling him. 

“For what?” Hyunjin asked. Felix could have died right there from how Hyunjin’s own voice sounded. 

“I uh–I should go, I’m–”

“You’re what, Lixie?” Hyunjin asked, tilting his head. He moved closer, settling his hands on his hips again. 

“I–we’re in public Hyunjin, don’t make me say it,” Felix said with a pout. 

“So? Didn’t stop you from kissing me,” Hyunjin said with a smirk. Felix felt his dick twitch and he had to hold back a groan. No one should look so attractive smirking. 

“That’s–that’s different!” he insisted, his voice lowering to a stage whisper. 

“Yeah?” Hyunjin looked around. “No one’s looking at us.” Felix felt his hand sliding down his hip under the water, settling on his upper thigh. 

“Wh-what are you suggesting?” Felix asked. He felt like his heart had stopped pumping blood. Or the only place it was pumping blood was to his cock, which was steadily filling out. 

“I–I mean…” Hyunjin had the audacity to look a bit sheepish all of the sudden. “I know we’ve never gone past kissing. I know it's a boundary we have but… Lix, fuck. You’re so.” He licked his lips. “I want you. And I think it’d be really hot if I touched you right here. With all these people around. Not knowing what I’m doing.” 

Felix’s heart dropped to his stomach and then it dropped to his feet and straight through the floor. All the oxygen left his lungs. There was no way this was happening. No way. “You–holy shit,” he whispered. “I–here? You want me? Here ?” That was so wrong on so many levels but Felix couldn’t deny the arousal it sparked in his belly. 

“What do you think?” Hyunjin brushed his thumb over the jut of Felix’s hip bone and he shivered. 

Felix didn’t even have to think. If he did think, he’d find his brain no longer had the capacity to do that anyway. “Y-yeah. Yeah, okay,” he agreed, nodding his head. He looked around them again to make sure no one was looking. They were far enough away from everyone and the tub was big enough to give them a good amount of space, but he still wanted to be sure. “Touch me, Hyunjin, please.” 

Hyunjin’s expression darkened and he bit his lip as he slowly moved his hand to Felix’s cock. Felix bit his lip and quickly covered his mouth as he choked down a moan. Hyunjin’s fingers wrapped around his dick and the friction sent jolts of pleasure all through Felix's body. “Been thinking about this for a while,” he whispered. The water splashed a little as he began to move his hand up and down Felix’s shaft and Felix’s eyes widened when someone glanced over at them. They turned and whispered something to the person next to them and Felix felt his skin go hot all over. 

“Shh, just act like we’re not doing anything,” Hyunjin instructed. He twisted his hand up and Felix had to swallow down another moan. 

“C-can’t, Ji-Jinnie,” he choked. His hips jerked when Hyunjin moved his hand to thumb over the slit of his cock and more water splashed around him. He bit down on his hand and Hyunjin splashed him when the two people looked in their direction again. 

“Oh my gosh, don’t be like that,” Hyunjin said in an exaggerated tone, laughing softly afterwards. He gave Felix a pointed look and he inhaled shakily before splashing him back. Hyunjin stepped back a bit but still kept his hand on Felix. If anyone else looked at them in that moment, it wouldn’t look like anything out of the ordinary was going on. 

The two people looked away again. 

“F-fuck,” Felix whimpered quietly, bringing his hand back to his mouth. Hyunjin grinned as he twisted his hand again and Felix's abdomen tensed with the heat that coiled in his stomach. 

“Doing so good,” Hyunjin mumbled. “Wish I–fuck, wish I could fuck you here. Right where everyone could see you. You’d look so pretty. But only I’d get to touch you, right, Lixie?” he asked as he tightened his grip around the base of Felix’s cock. 

“Hnngh–” Felix groaned against his hand. He clenched his jaw and gulped. “That’d–” his voice came out raspy. “I’d–ngh–I’d like that.” 

“Shh, don’t be loud, Lixie. They’ll all hear you,” Hyunjin said. He pressed the tip of his finger into the slit of his dick and Felix jerked, taking in a sharp breath. His gut twisted, the knot pulled tighter, he was going to–

Oh fuck, he was going to come. His eyes widened and he quickly grabbed Hyunjin by the shoulder. “Hyunjin, I’m gonna–” he struggled to find the words and his cheeks burned. “I’m close,” he whispered. 

“ Fuck ,” Hyunjin mumbled, stopping his movements. “Well…as much as it’d be hot. You can’t–shit, I didn’t think of that.” 

“Showers,” Felix croaked. 

“Shit, good idea,” Hyunjin nodded. “Uhm–let's turn around so no one sees us when we get out.” 

Felix nodded and turned around to climb out and Hyunjin opened his mouth again. “Ah man, there’s still soap in my hair,” he groaned, definitely loud enough for someone to hear. Felix snapped his head to look at him and Hyunjin shrugged as he got out and quickly wrapped the towel around his waist. “Gotta go back to the shower.” 

Felix looked at him incredulously and rolled his eyes. “Yeah, me too,” he mumbled. 

After that, they quickly made their way out of the bathing area. They made it to the showers with no further mishaps and no one looked at them along their way. If anyone had, they would have noticed the way that both of their towels were tented. 

Thankfully, there weren’t too many people in the showers, but there were still a couple so they chose a shower at the end. As soon as they were there, Hyunjin was on Felix again. Felix was still burning and he only felt hotter as Hyunjin kissed him, passionate and dirty. “Shit–can I eat you out, Lix?” he asked quietly. Felix’s breath caught in his throat. He nodded. 

“Yes, fuck, yeah,” he groaned. Hyunjin grinned and grabbed Felix by the hips to turn him around. He braced himself against the shower wall with his forearms and Hyunjin turned on the shower to block out any possible noises, then knelt down. He grabbed Felix’s ass cheeks and spread them apart, letting out a soft groan at the sight of his hole. Felix bit his lip and dropped his head between his arms. 

“You’re so sexy, Lixie, how can anyone be so sexy?” 

Chills went down Felix’s spine and he took a deep breath. “Could–could say the same about you, hyung,” he said. 

Hyunjin didn’t respond, instead he shoved his face between Felix’s cheeks and pressed his tongue against him, licking a fat stripe up from his perineum to his hole. Felix bit on his lip so hard it would probably bleed to keep himself from crying out. Fuck, fuck. 

He was good with his tongue, swirling the tip around Felix’s rim and licking it like it was his last meal. He sucked on his rim, quiet slurping sounds filling the shower stall. There was no way no one heard them. He pointed his tongue after a minute of just licking and sucking at his rim and pushed the tip inside, fucking Felix open on his tongue. Felix’s chest vibrated with a groan and his cock pulsed. “So good, Jinnie,” he managed quietly. Hyunjin hummed against his rim and the vibrations made Felix’s skin tingle. 

Hyunjin dug his fingers into his ass, his large hands covering him so fully that Felix was dizzy from it. He used his thumbs to spread his hole further so he could thrust his tongue deeper. His tongue fucked in and out of him and he groaned against Felix’s hole like he was getting pleasure out of pleasuring Felix. That only was bringing Felix to the edge again ridiculously fast. 

After a moment, Hyunjin carefully eased his thumb in alongside his tongue. Felix couldn’t hold back the moan that slipped out of his mouth and that only seemed to spur Hyunjin on. He licked into him with fervor and Felix’s legs shook. He could feel his muscles tensing and his hole clenched around Hyunjin’s tongue. “Hyunjin I’m–I’m coming,” he gasped. He barely had enough time to get a warning out before he reached his high and his cock spilled cum all over the shower walls. Hyunjin continued eating him out through his orgasms, only pulling away when Felix jerked and whimpered with sensitivity. 

Felix felt himself slipping a little against the shower wall but Hyunjin had just stood up and was quick to wrap his arm around Felix’s waist. “I got you,” he whispered, pressing a kiss to Felix’s shoulder. He helped him turn around and when he did, he was struck with how pretty Hyunjin looked. It was clear what he had just done with how swollen his plump lips were. It made Felix blush but he pecked his lips anyway. 

“You do that like a pro,” Felix said, chuckling. Hyunjin laughed, shaking his head. 

“You’re ridiculous.” 

“Maybe,” Felix said with a shrug. He glanced at the wall behind him and cringed. There was still cum staining the wall and the shower water would never reach it. “I feel kind of bad for whoever has to clean this… We’re gonna get fucking banned.” 

“It was so worth it,” Hyunjin said with a smirk. “Who knew my pretty angel Lixie would be as dirty-minded as me?” 

Felix scoffed. “I’m a gamer and you think I’m not dirty minded? You have a lot to learn,” he said, poking Hyunjin’s chest. 

Hyunjin’s smirk turned into a smile. There was a glint in his eyes that made a shiver run down Felix’s spine. “Well, I can’t wait to find out then.” 

Felix had a feeling he’d bitten off more than he could chew with his best friend, but honestly, that only made him more excited. A giddy smile broke across his face and he pecked Hyunjin’s cheek.

“You can find out more when we get back to the hotel. But let's get out of here before they find us and we get arrested.” 

Hyunjin laughed and nodded as they turned off the shower. “Good idea.” He followed Felix out as they gathered their towels and went to go grab their clothes. The smile never left Felix’s face.

How would the BSD men react to you wanting to paint their nails (alignment chart 🙏)

Love it/hate it

Let you/wouldn't let you maybe?

sorry for the wait, but thank you for this request! i needed something silly and fluffy to do <3

When you ask him if you can paint his nails, he gives you a weird look and asks "why?" You respond "just because" or "it'd be cute" and he thinks about it for a moment--maybe needs some convincing--but allows you to.

Jouno (doesn't understand the point--he can't even see it--but you tell him you want to practice and you'll make it super neat and in a lovely shade of red to match his uniform, so he agrees), Akutagawa (needs only your pouting puppy dog face to agree; he acts like he sits begrudgingly, but you see him admirning his black nails for the next few days, and when they chip he tells you he needs a touch-up), Oda (says you can practice on yourself, can't you? but when you say you just wanna see him in nail polish, he says alright, alright, but it has to be something fairly neutral), Sigma (doesn't really have a concept of nails being a decorative thing, so he doesn't even consider paitning them until you ask; he lets you and actually quite likes the soft tone of purple that matches his hair), Ango (sighs and says no, but you press him for a reason why and he can't necessarily come up with one, so when you promise to remove it if he doesn't like it, he allows you, but honestly he doesn't hate it), Fukuzawa (has to think about it for a few moments, but when you ask if he's ever painted his nails he says "no, so I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try").

When you ask, he either perks up and says yes right away, or after you convince him he becomes really interested.

Nikolai (says YES, and digs through your polish to pick what color he wants), Junichiro (says okay!! :D and asks for a simple black because he's always liked the idea of painting his nails), Poe (realizes he'll get to hold your hand and says yes, and then he actually really likes having his nails black), Atsushi (asks if you really want to do that for him, and is very happy when you enthusiastically says yes!; he also picks out which color he wants and is happy to hold your hands), Tetcho (allows you but only if it's black, and then he quite likes it and how it makes his hands look (and he wants you to match your nails to his)), Dazai (excitedly says yes and picks out an obnoxious pink and shows everyone his lovely nails that his girlfriend did for him), Chuuya (thinks it over, glances through your collection, then allows you to paint his nails black or deep red because it would look cool), Tachihara (similar to Chuuya, thinks about it and looks through your colors then lets you do something dark and moody), Bram (is fascinated by the body-safe paint and lets you paint his nails because it's a fun addition to his outfit; he goes for a deep red or a dark dark purple).

You ask him, and though he seems interested, he ultimately won't let you.

Mori (can't let his subordinates see him like that, and also if he were to need to perform surgery on someone if there were some insane incident it wouldn't be medically sterile for his nails to be painted, or something like that he says), Mushitaro (is willing to let you until he inspects your own nails and sees how messy they are, then he changes his mind because he doesn't want them messy -.-).

You ask him, and he grimaces and says no, for a variety of reasons.

Kunikida (could be convinced if you really, really, really wanted to, but he doesn't want to deal with the paint chipping and the upkeep it would require if he let it happen and ended up liking it), Ranpo (eats with his fingers so often that he absolutely refuses to let you paint his nails because he's heard you complain about the taste/smell of nail polish), Fyodor (lowkey has "traditional values" on some random things and thinks nail polish isn't for him, but also he bites his nails and if he tastes that polish he'll be disgusted), Fukuchi (straight up says no, that's for girls, he's a man and not interested, and also he has shitty beat up nails anyway).

[7] FIRST IMPRESSIONS - first episode

synopsis: riki was a big fan of your group Devilish, but when he met you for the first time, he made a very bad first impression and now you hated him. rumors started to spark saying how you hated each other and to calm the rumors, the company decided to make you two hosts a variety show together for two months. wc: 1,6k

You arrived at the studio early, your nevres masked by your usual cool exterior. The makeup room was quiet, mostly, save for the fain buzz of the hairdryer. You setted your bag down, greeting the makeup artist with a polite bow before sitting in one of the chairs. Your hair was swept into a neat ponytail and you were dressed casually because you were gonna be asking to change anyways. 

About ten minutes later, Riki walked in. He paused at the door, glancing around nervously before he spotted you. His usual confident demeanor flatered for a moment, but he quickly composed himself. 

"Good morning,’ he said, his voice slightly hesitant. 

You looked up briefly and gave him a polite nod. "Good morning, sunbaenim." 

He winced at the formality but didn’t comment on it immediately. He slid into one of the chair next to you, greeting his stylist as well. As the artist began working on his hair, he turned slightly towards you, attempting to break the silence. 

"You got here early," he started, offering a small smile. 

"Well, it’s better to be early than late, sunbaenmin" you replies, your tone professional but distant. 

Riki chuckled nervously. "True. But you know you can just call me Riki. We’re the same age, and we’re going to be working together a lot."

Your eyes flicked to him in the mirror, your expression cool. "I’d rather not. You’re still a sunabaenim." 

Riki raised his eyebrows, taken aback but not entirely surprised. "Okay…but it feels weird if you’re super formal with me." 

You didn’t repond immediately. You adjusted your posture slightly, your gaze returning to your phone as the makeup artist began working on your foundation. "I’ll keep that in mind, sunbaenim." 

He sighed softly, his fingers drummin against the armrest of the chair. "You’re really not going to drop the whole ‘sunbaenim’ thing, are you?" 

You gave a small shrug. "I prefer keeping things professional." 

Riki laughed lightly, though it was clear he was trying to hide his nervousness. He then tilted his head, watching you in the mirror. "You know, you're a lot scarier up close."

You didn't even glance at him, just focusing on your reflection in the mirror as your makeup artist worked on your base. You could see him shifting in his chair from the corner of your eye.

"So, um," he started hesitantly, "are you excited for the first episode?"

"It's an opportunity to try something new," you replied, your tone still professional.

"Right, right. Same here," he nodded. "It's gonna be fun I think. You know, once we get the hang of it."

You nodded politely, before hearing your phone vibrating on the counter. You picked it up and glanced at the screen, checking your notifications.

After makeup and hair, you and Riki were directed to the wardrobe room to change. You walked ahead, your posture straight and professional, while Riki trailed behind, hands stuffed in his hoodie pockets.

When you stepped into the wardrobe room, your eyes immediately landed on two clothing racks with nearly identical outfits: light wash jeans, oversized flannels and clean white sneakers. Yours was layered over a cropped tank top, while Riki's flannel was paired with a plain white tee.

Your stomach sank. Matching outfits? Really?

Riki strolled in, stopping short when he saw the clothes. His eyebrows raised in mild amusement. "Oh, we're matching..." he said, his tone light.

You glanced at him briefly before turning to the stylist. "Excuse me, is this what we're wearing?"

The stylist smiled. "Yep! You'd both look great in it."

You forced a polite nod. "Understood. Thank you for your work."

Riki smirked as he picked up his shirt. "We'll look like besties, that's fun."

You rolled your eyes in your head, but didn't say anything. Stay professional, it's fine. You grabbed your outfit first and stepped into the changing area, biting the inside of your cheek to suppress your annoyance.

---------------------

The first scene was a simple introduction. You were supposed to chat naturally while the cameras rolled. It was supposed to be easy.

You stood beside him, your expression poised but neutral. The director clapped his hands. "Okay, just introduce yourselves casually! Be natural, like friends catching up."

You plastered a polite smile on your face. "Hey guys, this is yn from Devilish-" you jumped a bit, startled as the director's voice cut you.

"Cut! Guys this is way too stiff. You're supposed to be natural and at ease."

It took you three takes to just shoot the introduction. The director gave you a small break after, the stylists rushing to you to fix your makeup and hair.

"This is harder than I thought," Riki said, beside you.

You nodded curtly. "Yes, sunbaenim."

He sighed, turning to you. "Yn, the director wants us to drop the formalities, you know?"

You straightened your posture. "Well, yeah, but just on camera. Right now, it's not filming, so I prefer professionalism."

"Professional is fine, but we can't act like strangers all the time," he said, his voice carrying a hint of exasperation. "We're gonna be working together for weeks."

Your expression didn't change though. "I'll make sure the show runs smoothly."

The director clapped his hands again. “Okay, this time, relax. We’re not looking for perfection. Just have fun.”

Riki leaned toward you, lowering his voice so only you could hear. “Okay, let’s try this. Just pretend I’m one of your members or whatever.”

Your lips twitched, almost forming a smirk. “You’re not them, and you never will be.”

“Noted,” Riki said with a grin. “But let’s fake it, yeah?”

For the first time, your posture eased slightly. “Fine. Let’s get this over with.”

The cameras rolled, and this time, their interaction flowed better. Riki teased you about your serious demeanor, and you retorted with a sharp yet surprisingly playful response. The director beamed. “That’s the energy we need! Great work, guys!”

As soon as the cameras stopped, you straightened your posture again. “Thank you for your hard work, sunbaenim.”

Riki groaned dramatically. “We were making progress! Why’d you go back to being so formal?”

You grabbed your phone from the table, not even looking at him. “Because we’re not filming anymore.”

After wrapping up the first episode’s filming, you and Riki were called into a quick debrief with the director and the production team. You sat side by side at a sleek conference table in one of the studio’s meeting rooms. You looked as composed as ever, your posture straight and professional, jotting notes on your phone as the director spoke. Riki, meanwhile, was doing his best to look like he was paying attention—but it was a losing battle.

The late afternoon sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting a soft glow on your features. Your ponytail had loosened slightly during filming, with a few stray strands framing your face. You had removed your flannel during the break, leaving you in just the fitted tank top, which only added to your effortlessly polished appearance.

Riki glanced at you from the corner of his eye, trying to keep his focus on the director’s words. Why does she always look so put together? he thought. The way you tapped your fingers lightly on the table while listening, the subtle tilt of your head as you nodded at the director’s suggestions—it was all oddly captivating.

“So, for the next episode," the director started. "we’re bringing in guests. We’ve invited Sunwoo, Eric, and Sangyeon from The Boyz since their comeback is right around the corner. The plan is for you two to interview them about their album, then transition into some lighthearted activities.”

You immediately nodded, your voice steady. “Understood. Should we prepare specific questions, or will the script team provide prompts?”

Riki tore his gaze away from you, blinking rapidly as he realized he’d missed half the question. What did the director just say?

“The script team will provide some structure, but you can ad-lib as well. We want it to feel natural.”

You hummed in acknowledgment, typing something on your phone. Riki caught the way your brows furrowed slightly in concentration, and for a brief moment, he forgot where he was.

“Riki? Thoughts?”

Riki’s head snapped up. “Huh? Uh, yeah. Sounds good. I’m in.”

You turned to look at him, your gaze sharp but neutral. “You’re in? Do you know what you just agreed to, sunbaenim?”

Riki hesitated, feeling the heat creep up his neck. “Of course. Totally.”

You raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed. “Right.”

The director chuckled, seemingly unaware of the tension. “We’re planning to keep it fun and engaging. After the interviews, we’ll move on to a few games—simple stuff like charades or a trivia quiz. Think you two can manage that?”

You gave a small smile, nodding again. “Yes, I think it’ll be a good opportunity to showcase a more relaxed side of ourselves.”

Riki nodded along, but his brain wasn’t processing the words. Instead, he was hyper-aware of the way your lips curved ever so slightly when you smiled. It wasn’t even a full smile, just a polite one, but it was enough to throw him off.

The director wrapped up the conversation, clapping his hands together. “That’s it for now. Rest up—you both did great today.”

You stood smoothly, gathering your phone and notes. “Thank you for your guidance. I’ll see you at the next shoot.” You bowed respectfully and turned to Riki briefly. “Have a good evening, sunbaenim.”

Riki blinked at you, momentarily forgetting how to speak. “Uh… yeah. You too.”

You walked out of the room, your steps confident and deliberate, leaving behind a faint trail of your light fruity perfume. Riki stared after you for a second too long before shaking his head and muttering under his breath, “Get it together, man.”

This was gonna be seven long weeks.

[glitter-stained]

Honestly DC fandom, as much as I love you, I am disappointed in our ship names. Take a look at what the marvel fandom has going on! Winterfalcon, Winterwidow, Ironstrange, Spiderpool, Winterhawk, (i am noticing bucky barnes doing a lot of heavy lifting here)...

Idk maybe it's because I don't know enough about the marvel fandom and am missing out on some good dc names but I think in general we need to aim higher! Big energy you guys, go big or go home but there's a housing crisis!!!

So anyway here are some humble alternative ship name proposals and why i like them, feel free to add your own!

Donnakory -> Troyan Star : i personally think it's pretty

Dinahbabs -> Augury: an oracle who uses birds. Is it a little vague? Yeah but I think we could make it work also it sounds cool.

Stephcass -> Batgirl²: they share batgirl like a hoodie

Jason Todd/SuperBoyPrime -> Primehood: the suffix -hood added to a noun, if i understand english correctly, seems to suggest a state of being here? Like "days of primehood", the state of being in your prime. It makes up a cool new word and that's neat.

Diana/Artemis -> Wondermoon : something something two women who have been wonder woman and wear the name of different versions of the same moon goddess, the many faces of the moon two sides of the same coin idk it feels romantic

Wondercheetah-> Wonderkitty : self-explanatory

Rena/Jason Todd -> Reason: I think it'd be funny to have a ship of two vividly unreasonable people named reason (ofc you can hc adult rena as reasonable it's just. In my heart I know she matches his freak as an adult as well.)

Grace Choi/Anissa Pierce -> Thundergrace: idk i think the idea of graceful thunder sounds pretty cool

Honorable mentions:

Dickkory -> Nightstar: I've seen it used as a shipname a couple of times and it is beautiful! I understand the potential confusion with their daughter, whose superhero name is Nightstar and how unpractical it would be for tagging, but also I think naming your persona after your parents' ship name is kinda cute.

Dickwally -> Birdflash : widely used by the fandom already. It's not extremely specific and yet due to the popularity of the ship it is understood perfectly, the reason I think Augury could work, I keep picturing a bird sprinting super quick into my window and smashing against it and falling but like getting that vision in the corner of my eye, love when a ship name gives me visual energy

Selina/Bruce -> Batcat: again, already used in fandom, this is the energy we like to see the phrasing is so fun I want to try and say it fast a bunch of times

Helena Bertellini/Helena Wayne -> Helena²: already mentioned it in a previous post about math ship names and it has been adopted, hell yeah!!! Sans if you see this ily

[groovy-rat-man]

Random baseless punch out wii headcanon time!!

I KEEP TRYING TO SAVE THIS TO DRAFTS BUT IT KEEPS POSTING INSTEAD BUT FUCK IT WE BALL (i might add more stuff or change things but this is what I've got so far)

Doc Louis

Hes not the step dad he's the dad who stepped up

Hes got a tshirt that says that and every time he wears it in public mac dies a little inside

Hes also got pictures of him and mac together in his wallet that he likes showing off to people

Im gonna take this time and tell you about this crackship I like. Idk why but doc louis/gabby jay is just very cute to me and i wanted to share that with you

Little Mac

Everyone makes him transmasc, everyone makes him autistic, everyone makes him selectively mute and I just so happen to be part of everyone soooo...

I might however be projecting myself onto him just a little bit but whatev

Him and Birdie are like brothers to me, not biologically but still <3

Pretty awkward around his fans, especially the ones who don't respect his personal space (looking at YOU, nameless women in super macho man's title defense intro😡)

Got called into the counselors office at his school a lot because he was always covered in bruises, every time he just showed them his latest match on his phone like "yeah don't worry everything cool at home I just get my ass kicked as my job"

Tries to be friendly with all his opponents, or at least decent with them

~~~~

Glass Joe

I read the first couple chapters of this fic and now it's just canon to me, he is a single girldad and there is nothing you can do to change that

Well I say "dad" but sometimes I like to make her transfemme just because I can so when I do that she's still a milf instead

Has always had fucked up bones and joints and health problems and stuff, boxing just made it CONSIDERABLY worse lol

Gabby Jay is like his uncle or something

Sleeps like 3 hours a night and hasn't drank water in like 10-20 years, this freak is living off of coffee, bread, wine, cigarettes, and NOTHING else

Tried to be blond, it didn't work on him

The only reason he haven't died in the ring is because god is punishing him for his hubris

His one win was when Nick Bruiser died in the ring due to a completely unrelated brain aneurism

Von Kaiser

Used to crossdress back in his younger years, he may not do it as much anymore but he still has his dresses

Actually enjoys his job as a boxing teacher! He likes instilling knowledge on the next generation

Complete neat freak, trys to suppress it as much as he can but it's always there in the back of his mind

Definitely has SOMETHING wrong with him but thinks that if he doesn't get it diagnosed then it's not really a problem

Probably has like prosthetics or metal implants in his joints or bones or something, idk why else he'd make the noises he does

Disco Kid

I like to think that he does drag in his free time, makes you wonder if him and VK ever talk about it

Can fully SPRINT in high heels, hell he could probably fight in them too if they'd let him

Always has at least a little bit of glitter on him, it's a curse

Boxing is more of a hobby for him than a career, he's just having fun with it

Always makes sure his friends are safe and having fun whenever they go out somewhere

King Hippo

Scares babies and small children on accident just by being around them and feels REALLY bad about it

The first time he met glass joes daughter he made her cry and still hasn't gotten over it

Whenever fans ask him for a signature he either writes it in the most beautiful handwriting you've ever seen or he just draws a lil hippo with a crown, which one you get depends on how he's feeling

Has a storage unit somewhere filled to the brim with all those shitty blenders that had to be recalled

He still tries to pawn them off on people, too, if he ever tries to get you a gift for like your birthday or something you just know it's one of those shitty blenders

Oh and the "king" in king hippo isn't a stage name, he is actual flesh and royalty. His subjects seem to think highly of him and he treats them well. He does a pretty good job running things too but to be fair his kingdom isn't all that big, just one tiny island that isn't on any maps.

He usually doesn't hold his title over people's heads, mostly he's just some guy

Fully CANNOT swim but he can hold his breath for ages and just sort of walks on the ocean floor (gee, almost like his namesake)

Knows what gender is, does not care for it

Likes to sketch and draw :)

~~~~

Piston Hondo

Possibly aromantic? I don't really know and I don't think he knows either.

God why don't I have any headcanons for him?? He's my fucking wife!!!!

Ok I KNOW I said he's my wife but i saw like one person make him and Bear Hugger queer platonic partners and im in love with that idea

I feel like of the two he's the one who was most concerned with putting labels on it and trying to figure out what exactly they were but eventually just decided that even if they're not in a romantic relationship they can still be soulmates and I think thats beautiful

Hes a sweet guy but he can be pretty awkward around people lol

EXCELLENT cook like you have NO IDEA

Bear Hugger

Does NOT know his own strength. He'll go to hug somebody and and break their ribs, he'll go to open a jar and shatter it into pieces. He's trying his best to be gentle but good god.

Also the gay kind of bear (the stage name was on purpose)

Can actually literally for real life talk to animals. No fucking clue how he does it, i guess it's just a Canadian thing

Lost his squirrel after losing in title defense and was DEVASTATED, but DONT WORRY the squirrel was fine

The "i like raw fish" line isn't about sushi, be just sticks his head in a river and comes out with a live salmon in his teeth

Great Tiger

Has at least one if not a plethora of cats (one of which is a British shorthair cause I feel like that's the kind of cat he'd like)

"I feed you, I home you, I give you all the treats and toys you could ask for, and what do you do? You scratch up my furniture and knock over all my nice cups! What do you have to say for yourself?"

"Mmmrrp?😺"

"Hmph, you're lucky you're cute..."

Magic is a difficult thing to control so sometimes when he sneezes he teleports, happesnt to the best of us

It took him weeks to fully resolidify after getting poofed my mac in title defense so for a while parts of his body were just vapor

If i ever draw him I'm gonna give him widdle kitty fangs, trust me

Still trying to work on his music career, the dumbass

Him and don like to gossip together like catty bitches

Don Flamenco

Carmen 100% tops him, I will not elaborate (at least not until I finish my fanfic)

#1 bi4bi couple ever

Whenever he drinks he literally does not shut up about her

"Me gusta mi esposa porque es suave y cálida y bonita y amable conmigo🥰🥰"

Sure, alright dude

I know it's HEAVILY implied that Carmen left him after he lost to mac the first time but I choose to think that he just lost all his self worth and was CONVINCED that she was gonna leave him

That... might actually be worse now that i think about it

But whatever, in the long run they get married and have twins and grow old together and it's great<3

She likes him better without his toupee, more room for kisses<3<3

"I'd kill someone for you, PLEASE ask me to kill someone for you..."

Hes tried on her lingerie more times than he's like to admit, it's gotten to the point where she just bought him his own. She wasn't upset about him stealing her clothes, she was upset because pink is NOT his color

Also I'm sorry that literally all of these are about him and Carmen, I didn't mean to do that

He is a complete giga bitch to everyone except her

I like it when people interpret mac as being Hispanic because I feel like he'd try and start a conversation with don and he'd be like "Lo siento, no hablo inglés. (Lying)" and mac would just be like "¡Oh, está bien! Así que, como te decía..." and dons just like GOD FUCKING DAMNIT

~~~~

Aran Ryan

He used to be normal, but then they put him in a room. A rubber room. A rubber room with rats. The rats made him crazy.

Does not know Irish and refuses to learn because it reminds him of being in school and he fucking HATED being in school

Probably because of the adhd or whatever is going on with his brain

Will break somebody's nose if they make fun of his accent

I see folks giving him a ton of siblings and I really like that idea but I just gave him one cause I thought it'd be easier lol

I named his sister Sharan cause I thought it'd be funny, she's also fucking crazy but when they're around eachother they're too busy trying to reel the other one in to be crazy themselves so they sort of balance eachother out

Shes about 6-7 years younger than than him and even though he KNOWS she can stand up for herself he's still very protective of her

When he first started boxing professionally he would bring her with him to get her out of the house (even though she didn't like seeing him get hurt)

Used to read her stories to help her go to sleep and would stay with her to protect her from monsters

Has fistfought his dad and would do so again if he wasn't dead

Soda Popinski

Literally just this post

Him and his wife that I made up have been trying for a baby but haven't had any luck so far

Gained his sweet tooth after quitting drinking (ya know cause he used to be called vodka drunkinski, god I'm so fucking clever)

Is actually a gentle giant outside of the ring!

His wife started knitting him sweaters once she saw him go out into the snow nearly naked. He loves and cherishes them and wears them every chance he gets but he still goes outside without pants🫠

Has killed someone on accident

Bald Bull

I like to think that he's a pretty chill guy when he's not being hounded by the paparazzi but god damn they will not leave him alone

He was probably glad when mac became champ for all the reasons macho man hated it

I honestly don't know what else to say about him

Fuck it I'm giving him agoraphobia

Him and popinski are pals😊

Has killed someone on purpose

Super Macho Man

I'm gonna be real, in my first draft of this post i completely forgot he existed and if he was real and he knew that he would be thinking about it for WEEKS

His ass: NOT real

His tits: NOT real

Thinks he's talking Like The Youth when he says shit like dude and bogus all the time

Also he's like 50

Definitely has at least one kid that he pretends not to know about, dodges child support like it's bullets in the matrix

Idk what social media was like in 2009 cause I was 4 years old but I like to think that people bully him online

Tried to own the "release the bogus" thing but it was just suuuuuuper cringe

Sometimes I like to make him ftm, I think it's neat

Sometimes I also like to make him fluent in asl but I got that one from a fanfic

Mr. Sandman

Comfypilled cozymaxer (at least when he's not training and stuff)

I feel like he would not be able to play any of the punch out games if they existed in his universe

I really dont know what to put here either

I like to think that under that intimidating exterior hes a real sweetie but I also said that about popinski and bb so it feels like I'm just being stupid

Give him some chamomile tea. Now.

[ckret2]

QUESTIONS BECAUSE IM TRYING TO DRAW YOUR BILL!!!

A, would you consider bill to have sharp or soft features (talking about facial features mostly I know he's chubby)

B, what is your fav thing about Bill fanart/what would you like to see

C, what is something you would like to see people emphasise most when drawing your bill?

🌹🌹

A. Soft features overall, although I also tend to give him a pointy chin and very straight pointy nose. ("Why?" Triangular.) But if it's too difficult to mix & match those traits without looking too weird (idk what style you're working in), then err on the side of softer.

B. idk, I'm happy to get anything. I'll come back to this one.

C. I feel like recently folks are doing a better job of drawing him fat, but one thing I still don't see much of is people drawing his ridiculous proportions. Probably because his proportions are ridiculous. He's got a really goofily exaggerated pear shape—wide hips and really narrow shoulders—and unexpectedly noodly limbs, because... that's how he looked before he was a human: a torso shaped like an equilateral triangle, with thin noodle limbs. irl his body shape would probably look a little uncanny, so idk if it's possible to draw his body shape in any style more realistic than the cartoony GF style without it looking TOO uncanny; but if it is possible, that'd be neat to see.

But again, just like the first question: if that weird mix of thin bits and fat bits is too tricky to pull off, then err on the side of fat.

B, the sequel: okay I thought of some things I'd like to see.

When my Bill's drawn with other characters, it's usually Mabel or Ford. I'm ALWAYS delighted to see him with Mabel & Ford (I keep writing him with Mabel & Ford) but it'd be cool to see him interacting with some other characters too

I always love it when people put him in new Bill-ish outfits

it's heartwarming seeing people, like, imagine a future for him or imagine where he's going

it turns out it's really fun to find pulp romance novel covers and stick him in one of the poses. Try it out. It's great. The more dramatic the pose the more fun it is

[jackfuckingtwist]

i cant stop thinking about lug losing his cool in the sacrificial chamber in the hive. it is very funny, i will admit i laughed, and the cascade of events that follow are every fun in an og oxventure, egbert-esque sort of manner. but it’s also such a cool character moment for lug.

lug is, of course, a barbarian. and barbarians have the rage mechanic. but lug is also played by mike, and we are all familiar with how mike has fun giving his characters quirks that seem antithetical to the archetype of a character (cowboy who is afraid of horses, honorable paladin who prefers to fight with explosives rather than martial weapons). so instead of the full on, blinding rage that is associated with the class he went for the sarcastic, passive aggressive angle.

and this really works, especially when you contextualize it around who lug is and what he does. you cant fly into a reckless, white hot rage every time you hear a twig snap if your job is to guide people safely. you need to be able to pick your battles. and since we are also introduced to lug via him being pursued by an angry mob who want to kill him because they blame him for their problems (because he is not human), i think he also probably learnt from a very young age that lashing out at people who already look down on him wasn’t going to do him any favors, as satisfying as it would feel.

so instead, his rage is more subdued. his responses are measured and deliberate. in delicate situations, especially at the beginning, the group tended to turn to willowfine when they didn’t know what to say. however, there are several times where willowfine’s words fail her (whether that’s from her own self-doubt or something else), and in those moments it is lug who typically steps in and smooths things over. the most prominent of example of this is when robin finds out about morven. now, that is not to say he never puts his foot in his mouth. he absolutely beefs it more than once. he’s not perfect, either.

but that is why i love the moment in the hive. because from the moment the copestone split, team northwest was apprehensive about what happened to team north. i don’t think they were ever particularly optimistic. and now theyve infiltrated this cult and found team north. and not only are they all dead, but they died horribly and painfully and slowly. and nobody on team northwest wants to die.

so lug sees the bodies, counts the plinths, realizes the number matches their team, realizes that now with the superior in the chamber there is only one door and she is standing in front of it. as somebody whose job and background is protection, it doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that everything in his head is screaming “we’re next.”

so he panics. and he instantly blows their cover and leaves morven no choice but to kill the superior so they can maintain the element of surprise for just 30 more seconds. and it is the only time, despite the barbarian rage mechanic baked into the class, we actually see lug completely lose it. because for once he feels cornered, like the animal humans tend to view him as. and i just think that is really neat.

[orionremastered]

do you think you would ever do a wingfic? cause i LOVE your writing style and your shifter fics have lead me to believe that you would be super good at it :]

like brucie would obviously have batwings cause ✨drama✨ and maybe for the rest of the fam they have wings that match their hair colors and personalities? if that makes sense 🫠 and maybe the reader has just super duper soft wings :}

if you ever decide to do something wingfic esq. just know that i would be the first to read :3

with love - @gothammybeloved

Rising from the dead with this one (I have twenty asks in my inbox)

Happy Holidays you mfs

Masterlist

Bruce

Def a bat. Causes him problems with the press having similar wings to Batman sometimes but there's a lot of other people with bat wings so it's generally a baseless accusation. This likely goes for the entire batfam because lots of people have similar bird wings. Ye

I'd think that he and Lucius Fox probably designed some kind of protection for bat wings (and then later of feather wings once he adopted Dick etc) because criminals would purposely or accidentally rip the membrane/break the bones of batfam wings.

Dick

Dick is a Blue Jay because;

A) blue does it need explanation

B) Blue Jays have elliptical wings which are shaped in a way that "allow birds to maneuver tightly in confined spaces and minimize drag for rapid ascent and descent". And it makes sense for Dick who is flexible to concerning degrees. So. Neat

Jason

We have two options here:

A) secretary bird bc they beat the shit out of snakes. I promise. Snakes = dirty criminals yk??? Also that bird looks like it reads Jane Austen

B) Andean Condor which is the largest bird of prey

because Jason is a brick shit house

Tim

Crow/Raven. Doesn't matter cause they're both smart and have been known to use things like tools and other stuff etc.

Also black would fit with the Red Robin suit I'd think so yeah 👍

Damian

Like father like son, so bat wings too. In the League I'd think they would treat the wings of the Al Ghul (I'd wanna say all have bat wings too? Cant see Ra's with bird wings) family as...

Idk but see the vision ok: painting the membrane with special paint that doesn't weigh them down, in gold intricate patterns. They'd have people do it for them but when moving to Gotham, Damian would probably keep doing it himself.

Steph

Red (or yellow) tailed black cockatoo. Cockatoos have a fun personality I think and the wings of the red tailed black cockatoo are black, fitting in with her suit, but also have a fun sprinkle of yellow colouring.

Idk what birds have purple wings I sorry

Cass

An owl with black wings (black banded owl, black barn owl etc.) because:

A) black . Black bat? Like?

B) owls are silent in flight which makes sense for Cass because she's very stealthy and quiet.

Duke

Keeping a trend of Australian birds I think he'd be a rainbow lorikeet. Lovable colourful birds that no one can find a reason to hate except for when there's fifty squawking next to your bedroom cough cough

Have mostly yellow wings. Bonus their chest feathers reflect in ultraviolet light to signal (! See what I did there) to other birds. Let's pretend their wings do that too

Alfred

Some kind of albatross. This man went from British special forces to a butler for billionaires in America. He has travelled. He has seen shit. He makes it look easy

Bonus most albatross species live up and over of 50 years which isn't the longest but still pretty cool.

[spgarchive]

I managed to find a lot of the old spg comic before it was redrawn!

Most of the panels are word for word and composition the same as the new ones, so I won't include those, but I'll include a few side by sides of interesting changes made between versions!

The old comic pages will be on the left, the new comic pages will be on the right.

To start with, we have the opening, Peter's dream sequence.

For a lot of the old vs new comic, the changes are really subtle. This page shows a lot of that- changed lighting, changed text framing, etc. In the old one, you can see Peter Walter V's cane a bit better, which I'm a fan of, as their intergenerational cane is one of the best traits of them to me, overall, uninteresting, which is why I included it. Most are like this.

Page 2 gets QUITE a bit more fascinating! Originally, the dream sequence ends here, with Marshmallow waking 6 up. In the new comic, the dream sequence continues into the purple... city sequence with that lady. Anyway, this explains why 5 is green. Him being green kind of haunted me before this. I was like why is he green. green is the evil color. or something. But anyway, because the sequence was extended, 6 now loves his family :D

I tell you when I saw this i screamed? I screamed. I lost my shit. Where is your MASK man. what. But then again- this old 6 design lines up perfectly perfecly with all the old Peter 6 art and photography!!! (shown below)

I'm a big fan of how his old black and white spiral theme is shown in the old art, look at the differences in the clothing he's in and his bed decals. His old bed had the black and white spiraling going on, same with the contrasting bars with his shirt! This matches his cane (seen in newer 6 art and with 5 avove) and importantly his TIE in the photos below! Its really fascinating to me how 6's design evolved over the years- from metaphorically faceless, to exploding off his face. Its very fun!

I'm lumping these two together because the spotlight here is on Norman Becile. What a change! I wouldn't exactly call him flesh-toned in either of these, but he's more clearly... blue-warped in the original! Primarily I think this change was done because the original looks far too bright for the dark room as it is established, and in the light he's pretty much the same colors (see the end of the last panel)

Overall, i think this change is COMPLETELY fascinating and excited me nearly as much as the changed to 6 did!

Going forward, the next bunch of pages are pretty much exactly the same, just with vintage rabbit vs now rabbit, and its not very fascinating. No major changes whatsoever are made.

Because the comic was specifically edited to redraw rabbit as her new design, I won't be including that design change here.

Moving on,

Here is the last major difference between new and old! The Spine. In the old comic, he is basically levitating. Look at that first panel vs the edited. Floating. He's floating.

Secondarily, his fins! He has those now! Its neat.

This is where, to my knowledge, the old comic ended. If it went past this, I as of yet have not found it.

A really cool difference between these two is the backround texture- look at that difference in depth between new and old! I think thats really cool.

I hope you all enjoyed this walk down memory lane of a post! :D
