#found this in my drafts and decided to post

[mona-risms]

◆ MAIN COURSE: Rumi x boxer!gn!Reader

◆ TYPE: SFW, romantic

◆ ALLERGEN WARNINGS: None

◆ NOTES: Let's fucking try this AGAIN. Bc for some reason Tumblr decided to be a nasty little shit and post my draft HALF AN HOUR AGO when IT WAS CLEARLY SET TO "SAVE DRAFT" and I was fucking EDITING IT. But whatever I'm nonchalant

So when a boxer is found out to be dating someone, it's like. Basically fine. Whatever you have your own life outside of the ring, good for you. But when an IDOL does it, the entire world explodes. Rumi's most definitely always exasperated about this but also she's not really all that bothered--she likes her privacy (or as much privacy as a K-Pop idol can get anyway) AND she def likes seeing a side to you that only she will ever see :3c

You could just easily walk out after training and grab snacks you know that Rumi (and the others, bc ofc you can't just ignore your girlfriend's two closest people) loves to eat before heading back to the penthouse. You even get them their favourite ramyeon cups cuz why not? Maybe you even text her if she wanted you to pick up anything specific and she says that you don't have to! Before quickly following it up with what she actually wants and then like a sticker, probably of herself for comedic effect LMFAO

While you're doing that and making your way to the penthouse, HUNTR/X are doing a vlive. They probably just kinda have it so like they can just drop in and drop out whenever, so maybe while they're doing it together, Rumi gets your message and she smiles before she can even stop it. Ofc the viewers WILL pick it up and they're like "OH????? WHO GOT YOU SMILING LIKE THAT" to which the trio immediately scramble aka Rumi says she saw little turtles on her feed and sets Zoey off on a tangent bc they all know FULL WELL why Rumi's smiling. She probably drops out a little later to go do her own thing (code for texting you on the other side of the room)

And then 😭 you fucking arrive 😭 completely unaware of the stream going on, esp if you have earbuds on for music and stuff 😭. The lift doors open and out you pop, immediately making a beeline for Rumi at the kitchen section to say hi, to give her the bag of snacks you picked up on the way, to lean in so that you can--

"AAAAAAAH TURN IT OFF TURN IT OFF--"

"I'M TRYING--"

You and Rumi immediately jump away from each other before the latter ducked down to hide behind the kitchen counter, taking you down with her.

"Shit," you hissed out quietly, "sorry, I didn't mean to--"

"No, no, it's okay," but Rumi winced at herself before continuing, "well, no, not really, but it's not your fault, okay? I probably should've told you we were doing a vlive. Plus this probably means that—" she raised her volume for the other two members "—WE SHOULD PROBABLY CHANGE THE COUCH FORMATION!"

"FINALLY! Thought it'd never turn off."

"BUT THE COUCH HAS SUCH A NICE VIEW!"

You stood back up, helping Rumi up in the process and wrapping your arms around her, "A nice view of me, apparently. Still, I probably screwed you guys over, didn't I?"

"What? Pshh, naaaah," Zoey waved it off haphazardly, "it's totally fine! I bet they didn't even notice and Bobby's not panicking whatsoever!"

Of course, it's followed by Rumi's ringtone, prompting her to pick it up—Bobby—and answer, "Heeeeey, Bobby, how's--"

"GIRLS, I'M PANICKING! EVERYONE SAW RUMI WITH SOMEONE ELSE AND NOW SOCIAL MEDIA IS ON FIRE WITH THEORIES ABOUT RUMI'S LOVE LIFE!" Bobby's very panicked screaming is then immediately snuffed out when he forces himself to stay calm, "It's okay. I'm okay. There's a reason you pay me 3% and I am going to PROVE--"

The call is immediately terminated with a beep when Mira, who you hadn't even realised had walked over to the kitchen island presses the merciful red 'end call' button, her other hand already making its way to grab at a snack in the plastic bag. "Anyway. Don't even worry about it. Best case scenario, they forget about it. Worst case scenario, they storm you and the internet for answers--"

"Not helping, Mira--"

"--but it's not the end of the world. You either just wait for it to blow over or own it," Mira opened the bag of crisps and took one in her mouth, "which I'd obviously say 'screw them' and own it anyway, but I know the fans can get a bit--"

"--wild?"

"--wild, crazy, all of the above." The tallest member moves back to her original spot on the couch, holding out the bag for Zoey to take some too, "Just let Bobby handle it—not like their face was shown clearly anyway. And if someone comes up too close to be weird about it, [Y/N]'s a boxer for a reason."

A small laugh left your lips as Rumi leaned back into your embrace and tilted her head to press a kiss on your face, further making herself comfortable, "I'd rather not have an assault charge on me."

"And I'd rather not have to visit them in jail," Rumi added.

"Hey, your loss."

Oh to make an entire twt AU about this.....unfortunately I'm lazy ay eff and will absolutely forget about it in like a day or two

I pray you have your socmed notifs off or else there's like an entire ONSLAUGHT of posts in every single postable platform. Kpop twt is on fire and even people outside of it are getting involved, there's like debates and fights like 'WHO JUST CAME INTO THE PENTHOUSE THAT'S NOT MANAGER-NIM👹👹👹👹" vs "let them live wtf yall crazy" and honestly it's really funny to read. Even Rumi finds it a little entertaining bc all this fuss just bc you walked into the frame and brought them snacks. Bobby and co. are trying their best but like. The devil works hard but the fandom works harder yk

And the THEORIES. Not just about what relationship you have w Rumi, but what you were gonna do before Mira and Zoey started screaming and who you even are in the first place. There's actual WARS happening about this, and fans are all on a scale from "omg happy for her" and "WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO US". This eventually reaches boxing twt somehow and it gets WORSE when they EVENTUALLY profile-match you LOL

Now YOU don't know peace either as you go outside. Suddenly ticket sales for when you're fighting TRIPLE bc everyone wants to see and bombard the mystery stranger with QUESTIONS about what your link with Rumi is. And before this, Rumi probably watched all your matches asw. Now she can't even do that bc of damage control 😓 and Zoey sends you pics of Rumi sulking during practice bc she's missing a match of yours thanks to the stream (that most likely has been clipped more than 20x now)

Eventually she'll end up getting so tired—especially if this is taking place post-demon reveal—of having to distance herself from you for a while thanks to the whole thing that at some point during a concert, imagine tone of their other songs has a segment like the Saki seat or smth

The arena had boomed with shrieks and cheers and HUNTR/X's music as they went through their setlist with deadly precision. Though you came to wonder why you were told to sit in this specific seat when before, you were often just given any other place to watch them from whenever they performed.

You weren't really given a lot of time to wonder, however, when the music gets to a certain part—one you knew required certain audience participation—but you simply cheered your girls on as your girlfriend made her way to--

Wait.

"Wh--"

You don't even get your words out before Rumi pulled you up, the spotlight pointedly following her just like the other two's line of sight, and pulled you in for a VERY public kiss.

"YES!" "Ugh, finally!"

But even their mid-song exclamations could only barely be heard at the deafening screams of the venue around you as the two of you are blatantly displayed on the jumbotron. Though it's not like you care, not at that particular moment, as you pull her closer to deepen the kiss.. before Rumi eventually pushes you back down on the chair lightly. The jumbotron shows your shared breathless state, along with the idol's unrepentant grin amongst slightly-smeared lipstick that stayed even as she jumped for the hoop that swept her away.

..Yeah, there was no denying anything anymore.

By god, you love this girl.

The internet implodes into itself after taht, with people showing recordings and clips of your public kiss. But honestly neither of you probably care atp 🤷‍♀️ at least you two can go out together and cling on each other without it being a huge question mark anymore. If anything she'll def own it—wearing your clothes and hoodies as she's spotted watching your matches and everything HAHAHA

(Remembered this in my drafts: the first time I thought of a Prince Merlin au, but I think that same day, or the next, I found someone's post with a similar concept, and so didn't post it or continue to work on it, but with my recent prince merlin thoughts resurfacing, I decided to post the first draft/idea of this au that I had, even if I don't use all the plot/story points)

[Draft from Sept. 4, 2024]

Gonna stray from my usual stuff real quick,

But I just thought of a Prince Merlin au, where whenever he's to visit a new kingdom, he goes a few days earlier than his parents looking like a peasant and going about those few days seeing what the people of the kingdom are like without other royals present.

This usually leads Merlin to know how the lower class people's living conditions are like, see how the nobles treat their servants, and what the royal family is really like. This stunt has led to Merlin acquiring two loyal friends turned knights, Sir Lancelot and Sir Gwaine.

All of this comes into great practice when his father, King Balinor, informs him they'll be going to visit Camelot for a treaty between their kingdoms that may need to involve an arranged marriage. (Important to know, Merlin is genderfluid in this, so different kingdoms either hear different rumors as to what Merlin’s gender is or just that Balinor and Hunith also have a daughter and they keep her well protected at home).

So, Merlin arrives a month before his parents do, and everything that happened in the show in that first "month" happens. Merlin’s able to deduce how the people and servants are treated, the true personality of the Pendragons, and how magic is treated.

Happy Birthday, Beanie! :D

I designed her on this day one year ago :3

Fun fact: this is technically how Beanie’s fourth bootday went down. She finally got to try whatever awful concoction drones whip up to make cake that day!

Additional fact: originally had this one scheduled to post since my own birthday... which was apparently 230 days ago, but i meant in months. which in that case would be seven.

some stories are written precisely to elicit strong emotions from the reader INCLUDING negative ones. some stories and characters are meant to be upsetting, they are meant to challenge you and make you uncomfortable!! when a story makes you feel Big Feelings sometimes you are meant to sit in those feelings and ask yourself why! fiction is a great space to explore these emotions in a safe environment. you, as the reader, are meant to think critically about the art you are enjoying and that includes asking yourself questions like why has the author presented their art in this way and what are they trying to tell me. and then you get to have fun picking it apart and figuring it out and deciding what, exactly, the art means to you.

I cannot believe Brennan created a super intelligent, organically growing technology and modelled its form after goddamn Clippy XD

Brennan: They had a recommendation for how we could communicate better. Emily: And it was Clippy? Murph: Word? Emily: Microsoft Word? Brennan: MIcr0sooft... how did you know? Ally: That helped them excel? Murph: Barry shoots the guns again- Zac: There's gotta be a point- there's gotta be some sort of power point- Ally: Oh no- Lou: Or a point to this power.

No but let’s talk about the whole Apokalips thing in Our Worlds At War. Young Justice 1:35–37, Superboy 1:91, Impulse 1:89.

Kon really, really screwed up. His impulsive and insubordinate actions, expressly against Robin’s orders and in full opposition to the rescue mission they were engaged on, led directly to:

the permanent death of one team member (Slobo is not Lil Lobo even if he does have his memories, and neither are any of the other regenerated Lobos, most of whom also die; original Lobo remains dead)

the partial death of another (Bart is in a coma for over a week after experiencing the death of his speedforce duplicate)

the start of Greta’s corruption arc via Darkseid

and the torture and thorough traumatisation of the rest of team (they are held in VR worlds where they are forced to live through the deaths of their loved ones and their own deaths, repeatedly).

Tim leaves Young Justice over this. Bart stops being a hero altogether for a while.

And we never see Kon apologise.

Okay so yes he acknowledges to himself he is entirely at fault for this. He spends a whole issue agonising over what he’s done and yes, he resolves to apologise to Robin.

But he never does. He gets distracted by some fallout from the war and by Joker’s Last Laugh. Tim gets involved again in World Without Young Justice, when reality has been altered and none of them are who they should be.

And then after that, Tim, who is relieved that his identity has been revealed (something he wanted to do long ago) in a way that he couldn’t control or be blamed for, asks to rejoin the team.

And.

Kon and Cassie do this:

(I’m not blaming Snapper, Ray, or Slobo, none of whom were there when this went down even if Slobo does have the memories of it. They are just following Kon and Cassie’s cues.)

And Tim reacts like this:

Which is not the reaction of someone who has already received a heartfelt apology.

And yes, then they hug and welcome Tim back into the team. But I think Tim ends up fully internalising that his leadership (and his refusal to share his identity, like they have any right to it) is to blame for the whole debacle. And Kon lets him go on thinking that.

Just thinking about the elders meeting the ghosts of button house, I think they'd get on well, so I've paired them all up :D

Thomas and ho-tan - need i say more? He's a poet, she's a scribe, they just match so well. Like they hang out in the library together, talk about literature from their times and realms and I think they would just have really good conversations about being forever annoyed with the rest of their group. I think ho-tan might quite like humphrey too. Both sarcastic but also sweet.

I think flowers and kitty would get along, or rather kitty would attach herself to flowers and he would have to deal with it. From what I've noticed, he seems to be the most gentle/kindly seeming elder from the lot and she would like that. I also think that pat would like flowers a lot because they are both the calm and collected members of their respective groups.

Pressley and julian are both drunk all the time and I think they would both complain to each other a lot. Idk they would just be bitchy together and I love it, also maybe they'd hang out with Robin too (kinda needs no explanation for Julian, but I think pressley wouldn't mind the extra company and might find him quite fun- maybe he'd even teach him chess!)

Vex and Mary i think is a good pairing. They're both just so weird and silly. They both have very odd ways of talking too! Vex was honestly pretty hard to pair, he's just so unique but also probably quite judgemental. I think he could get on with Mike, but then again he's so loveable that I think anyone would!

Choop and the captain! I really like this one, I think that they both just have the same sort of vibe and I feel that choop is quite a lot more organised than the other elders. They both like to take charge of situations and there might be some friendly rivalry between them.

At that moment, Meizhuang's face held the same peaceful smile as Wen Shichu's. I was holding her hand, and in her smiling eyes I once again recognized the past like in a dream, the innocence of childhood, the sincere hopes of girlhood, the sisterhood and companionship in the palace; after a lifetime of twenty and more years, she had finally obtained her lifelong desire. All of the family clan's honour, the Emperor's favour, the luxury of a high position, a life's worth of love and hatred and the invaluable glory brought about from open and hidden rivalries; put together, they could not surpass the sincerity of this moment. I took two steps back and whispered: "Jiejie, I am not as fortunate as you." She did not answer. She would never answer me again. I slowly stepped out into the deep night, the pre-dawn cold in the air chilling my body unexpectedly. I felt as if in a nightmare, with the unease and helplessness clinging to my body like sweat, and almost making me collapse. Endless dark drops dibbled down my neck, the cold rain sliding down and wetting the moss under the palace walls, as my heart was sharply filled with a death-like iciness. Meizhuang is gone, Meizhuang who accompanied me for 20 years is gone. There will never be another person to treat me as she did, to laugh for me, cry for me, to share my happiness and grief as she did. I walked on numbly, until from far behind me came the sound of mourning gong. The piercing death announcement resonated through the silence of the gloomy black night of the harem. "Hui Fei Niang Niang has passed away- ". The rain was beating down more and more heavily, and the icy old rainwater seemed to be trying to bury me down. I collapsed on the cold blue stones of Yongxiang, sobbing silently.

I adore Vortex (the transformer, not the ghost), but having such a rarely used (in canon) character as my absolute favorite kinda sucks.

"Me With No You" is a fucking SkyStar song.

The lyric that made me think it was literally "I'm a star without a sky" but then I remembered more of the lyrics and it still works.

"I'm a mark, I'm a martyr, I'm a victim, I'm a jerk"

"I'm a kingdom with no king, I'm a king without a crown"

The whole song is very Starscream coded.
