[transannabeth]

for research purposes (genuinely), i'm looking to make a list of what people consider Required Viewing™ (or reading) in terms of vampire fiction. while specifically this research is for paranormal romance, other iconic vampire fiction that add to the canon would be much appreciated. i would especially be interested in any stories about non western vampiric creatures since they are absolutely out there!

some (but not all!) of my current list includes

dracula by bram stoker

carmilla by sheridan le fanu

interview with the vampire by anne rice

twilight by stephenie meyer (yeah i know)

the awakening by l. j. smith

Found it! TV Guide

I really cannot find a source for the episode descriptions I've looked everywhere possible... They're only on IMDb (which is an odd first hand source, because it means someone from the crew uploaded these, for whatever reason?)

Mars conjunct MC ☄️

You’re seen as an agitator to the public. You cause varying reactions amongst people. They love you, they hate you, they talk about you. Either way you cause quite a stir without much effort. You can experience not being treated nicely by the public at some point in your life. Mars is war & combat, which shapes the themes of your reputation. So you are known to be in public feuds, or people are mad at you just for existing. You don’t back down easily though, you’re seen as a fighter. You’re seen as powerful and tenacious. These natives I noticed kind get hated on for no good reason? Maybe it’s because you’re a s3x symbol. The public sees you as someone who is physically appealing. They hate you bc you’re sexy.

Uranus conjunct MC 💥

Way too far gone - Kimi Antonelli

The one where your friends can't take another night of you rambling about the guy you're in love with

or

Where, for the first time, is Kimi who is gonna hear what you really feel

inspired by friends - chase atlantic

Warnings: f!reader, english is not my first language, not proof read, use of yn, smut, unprotected sex, p in v, use of "good girl", alcohol.

Kimi's phone rang, waking him up from dreaming with his eyes open. On the background the lights and sounds from the tv on his hotel room lit up the ambient, the only sources of any movement. The young driver looked at the screen, seeing an unfamiliar name shining on the screen: Gabriel.

Sure, they were both rookies starting their first season on formula 1 together, but they weren't exactly close enough for him to be calling Kimi on a monday night, after the chaos at the Australian Grand Prix.

"Hello?" Gabriel yelled at the other side of the line, trying to hear his own voice. The music was loud and rythmic, which honestly made the italian happy that his friend was still able to party even after a DNF on the very first race. "Kimi?"

"Mate! Is everything okay?"

"I am fine." He paused, almost as if he was looking for somebody. "But to be honest, it's not someone's night." In the background, Kimi could hear someone whining, probably drunk, complaining about something. "Are you too busy to come and get us?"

"No." He answered, pressing his phone between his shoulder and his cheek, getting up and choosing something out of the pile of clothes he had to organize to travel to China very soon. "But can you at least tell me what`s going on?"

"Uhm... sure." After a few seconds the music was almost completely muffled and Gabriel sighed. "So, I went out clubbing with Isa, and on the bathroom she ran into a pretty drunk Y/n."

At the sound of your name, he physically perked up, back immediately rigid and the phone now on his hand.

"Y/n? Y/n L/n?"

"Yep. That one." He sighed again and swallowed. "Completely alone, dozing in and off, and apparently her friends left her alone at the club. I didn't actually understand most of what she said, but I know I got your name on some sentence, so... here we are."

"Okay, I'll- I'll come get her." Kimi was now kicking some shoes on and grabbing the keys to the rented car. "Just send me the address and I'll be on my way."

Before he could hang up, Kimi was already ou the door and frantically pressing the elevator button.

On the drive there, his thoughts were uneven, you recently told him about some weird things your friends have been saying a lot, and how it was all stuck inside the brain so bad it was impossible to shut down, keeping you up at night.

His hands squeezed the wheel and he bit his lip, promising himself silently he'd first hear you out instead of immediately cursing them off, after all, they were your friends.

Gabriel was waiting outside of the pub, purple neon lights making his eyes seem bigger and his hair darker. He waved once he saw Kimi and smiled tightly.

"Hey. She's inside, still with Isa. Come on." The brazilian driver guided him through the crowd, both with caps and heads tilted down to not be recognized so easily. "I'm really sorry, I didn't know who else to call. I offered taking her to the hotel and let her crash on the couch, I've done it before, but she refuses."

"Is okay." He shrugged. "Dios mio, Y/n."

The sight was one Kimi had never seen on you before. The make up was smudged on all directions and eyes watery, looking everywhere and nowhere at the same time, head moving absentmindedly without any real pattern, head attached to the neck from all the sweat and arms shaking slightly from the cold tides you were pressed against.

Isabella, Gabi's girlfriend, had one of your hands cupped between hers in her lap, and she seemed to be trying so hard to keep you awake at the bare minimum.

"I got it from here, thanks mate!"

"No problems. Come on, Isa."

You barely noticed your source of heat leaving, just sniffed and let your head hang against the wall.

Kimi squatted down to be on eye-level with you, trying to steal your attention naturally, and when it happened, there was a glimpse behind your eyes.

"Hey, you look like him." You muttered almost to yourself, and then louder: "You really look just like him."

Holding out a hand, with the index finger you pressed against his right cheek, almost testing if he was real, and once the test came out positive, he felt the whole hand holding his face.

"Fuck, you're so pretty. Just like him." You sniffed once more, nostrils congested and drippy from all the crying that also ruined your make up. "But my friends- uh- where did my friends go?" Looking around, finally realising Isabella was no longer holding you.

"They just left, and now I'm here to take care of you, miss."

"My friendssss" Kimi now recognized, the one whining drunkly at the call was, infact, you. "Fuck, I'm really that unloveable." To that, he opened up his mouth to question, but you were too far gone rambling. "It's whatever, i guess, I mean, it's not great, but hey- at least I got a handsome face like you now staring at me."

"I think that's enough for tonight, come on."

Gently, he held his arms out, framing your curled up body and reaching for your elbows and pulling you to stay in your feet. A little off-balanced, but he could work with that.

"Let's go home."

His arms were shoved off at the blink of an eye, your hand still hanging in the air from pushing you away, back now fully glued to the wall behind you.

"Hit the brakes, man." You were slurring your words and barely managing to stay put in your heels, but your eyes were feisty. "I'm not walking into no stranger's car, I still have some self respect, 'kay? I can still think, fucker."

"What-"

Kimi explored every inch of your face, looking for a shaking sign of a unfunny prank, but he found nothing except some anger and that same glimpse.

"Are you serious? Love, it's me."

Your bottom lip quivered before you gulped, still not moving and looking at him with cold fear. Arms up, trying his best to not seem remotely scary, he approached you step by step, dragging his feet on the floor in order to not be too quick and scare you away. He did not know what he would've done if you ran off frightened and locked yourself in the bathroom, or worse, got lost in the streets.

"Okay, see? Calm down."

He was halfway believing in the way your expression softened and arms were hanging on the sides of your body, letting him in.

You blinked once, twice, before melting and craning the neck and taking his lips onto yours.

This was definetely not what he was expecting but gave in anyway, reciprocating the kiss and enveloping your shaking body in his arms. You tasted like vodka and some energy drink, most likely Red Bull, and he made a mental note to fake argue with you about giving his competition money.

"Come on, baby. Let's go home."

You grunted out of frustration. "Dude, what is your problem? I already said to you, I'm not going to bed with you just because you look like him. Just get a fucking grip and let us both enjoy what we still can."

"Y/n I'm serious."

Your brows furrowed. "How do you know my name?"

"I'm telling you. I'm Kimi."

"No, see," You pushed him only a few centimeters away, but your right hand was still on his forearm. "We are not allowed to say that name here." You said, matter-of-factly, waving a finger around. "So I don't know how you fucking know that name, just drop it."

"Y/n L/n, I am Andrea Kimi Antonelli, not just some guy who looks like him. Gabi called me."

The smug facade on your face disappeared more and more every second and he was getting impatient.

"No." You whined. "Kimi would not come for me. He would- he would not. Why would he? He wouldn't. No."

The italian's heart skipped a beat. Is that what you really thought of him? Heck, he knew you weren't dating but at least you should know he was not some prick.

You had to know. Right?

"Baby, I know you're not feeling good." He started, moving his forearm around to hold your hands into his. "But you need to let me take care of you, per favore."

With a sniff, your mind collapsed noticing his hand, the leather bracelet he always wore and huge rings framing his large and veiny hands, the ones you knew so goddamn well and fantasized about a promising ring on the ring finger, and you'd be wearing one exactly alike.

He really was Kimi.

You had kissed him thinking he was someone else.

You rambled to him about him.

And he was there.

"Oh, fuck."

Detaching your back from the wall, you let Kimi hold your shoulders and guide both of you through the crowd, out the main door and into the car.

The realization that it was really him dawned on you with an unrequited dose of sobreity and now tears of embarassment clung onto your eyes. You were shivering, blood pressure so low the temperature was running down to the point of almost hitting your teeth.

"I'm sorry." You managed to cough out on the middle of the ride, curled up in a ball on the passanger seat, looking out the window, avoiding eye contact at all costs.

"We'll talk at the hotel, okay?"

Fuck, that's exactly what you didn't want. It meant you'd have to go all the way up to his hotel room, expose your feelings and explain everything you did that night while still being tipsy.

You just wanted to go to your hotel room, take a hot shower just to get the sticky drinks you spilled on yourself off and breakdown under a pair of covers watching tv and crying yourself to sleep.

But now you knew, your relationship with Kimi was never going to be the same.

To you, everything was awkward. The car ride, walking into the hotel room and greeting people with a head nod, the elevator, everything. To Kimi, it was just mildly uncomfortable, but he didn't remembered the last time he was uncomfortable with you.

You pressed the button to your level, but when it came, he just held your waist and pressed for the elevator to close.

His hotel room was a bit chaotic, never being big on organization he'd most of the time just let thing on sight in order to not forget them. The tv was still on, bed sheets a mess, clothes thrown in the ground and a laptop upside down on the couch.

That was the first time you were in that hotel room of his, which was odd.

"Okay, do you wanna talk first?" He asked, handing you a bottle of water from the minibar. You grabbed it, but didn't open, sitting down on the couch, whilst he sat on the edge of the bed. "Fine by me."

He kicked his shoes off. "I want to start with what' been bugging me the most." You avoided meeting his eye once again, knowing they were very much trained on you. "Did you really think I was someone else when you kissed me?"

Swallowing hard, you still didn't find the voice so the best next option was just a shy nod.

"Did you do that before?" Again, just a nod. "Why?"

Now you met his eyes, a pang of pride filling you at the sight of his almost angry expression.

"Why do you care?" He tilted his head to the side, almost in a 'really?' state of mind. "No, really. Why do you care so much, Kimi? The fuck is it to you to ask me that?"

"Because I care about you. About us."

"Us?" You laughed dryly at that, tightening the grip on the water bottle. "Fine, let's talk about it. What is 'us', exactly? Huh?"

"The fuck- where is that coming from?"

"Because honestly, I thought I could take it, being your nothing until you decided you were done with me, but since we're already here, let's do it. Let's solve this." You untangled your legs, ready to get up and leave any time you needed.

"Done with you? Why would I be done with you, love?"

It hurt. Hearing him call you love after pushing yourself away for days, believing you were better and moving on from him, but now, as he asked you with the softest puppy eyes ever and being so caring, you wanted to give in and throw all your mini progress away.

But even if you did, he wouldn't have it. You knew he would not settle until understanding what was coming out of your mouth.

So, taking a deep breath, you held your tears inside.

"Let's face it, Kimi. We never were something grounded enough, and now, we would be even less. For fucks sake, you're in F1 now! I'm so fucking proud of you, but I know that, as each day go by, you'd be met with everything, everyone, that you could have, and I know what that can do to someone. Ollie already cheated on his girlfriend, and I'm not even your girlfriend, I'm nothing to you."

"We're not dating. You, for whatever reason, refuses to have sex with me so we're not even fuck buddies, and besides those little meeting we have to hook up we barely speak, so I wouldn't call us friends with benefits."

"And I just know, that when you'll get out there you'll realise I'm nothing special, and I was letting you lead me on because I was taking what I could still have from you. So please just fucking tell me I never meant anything to you so we could both move on from this and-" Kimi was kissing you.

At some point, in between your rambling, he got up and was walking towards you; amidst the kissing was when you noticed you've been crying.

It angered you how your body became a puddle in his hands, how no matter the pain it would come after this, you still leaned into him, wanted him.

That was what your friends were always talking about: how you craved him, and he let you stick around to have someone he knew he had control over. This must've been like the thousandth time you kissed, but it always gave you butterflies like it was the first one.

He stopped the kiss first, hovering over the couch. His swollen red lips, his big brown eyes staring at you.

"I couldn't sit there and watch you talk bad about yourself, love. I couldn't."

He watched without even blinking as your eyes just watered more, becoming bigger and more pleading, man was in awe with your reaction, lips quivering as you where almost whimpering. His hands slowly came up, cupping your cheeks to make sure you kept looking at him. A masterpiece of how beautiful you were, silently begging for him.

"Please Kimi, don't do this. Don't be mean." You whispered to his face. "Don't do this, please, please don't."

He delivered a quick peck to your chapped lips. "I'm not being mean, vita mia. I want you, I've never wanted anyone else, please believe me. I only want you."

You didn't know. You truly couldn't tell if the blink in his eyes was him being sincere or if your drunken brain was playing some sick prank at you.

Your soul wanted to believe him, your heart couldn't take another breaking, not again. But fuck, you wish you could consult someone else that wasn't drunk or completely infatuated by this man.

"Cara mia, let me show you. Please?"

You sighed.

Fuck it.

Leaned in just the slightest and bit his lip, pulling him towards you.

He layed all his body weight on you, dropping the laptop to the floor and having his hands clamping your sides, feeling you up on top of your club clothes.

"Cara mia, I need to know how you taste like." Kimi's voice was shaking even though his touch was firm.

Your breath hitched on your throat, slightly nodding to him. After two more pecks he started making his way down on you, taking his time on your neck, which he knew was a weak spot.

He kept going lower and lower, staring to push your skirt up until he found your folds, pulling your panties down to your knees, still letting them hanging from your heels.

"Fuck! Oh fuck!" You gasped as his tongue found your clit.

"Oh you're so wet already." He murmured, holding your thighs so they wouldn't close on his head, practically tongue-kissing your pussy. "Suck." He ordered, sticking his middle and ring finger in your mouth.

Kimi pulled your thighs and started using his big shoulders to hold them just the perfect angle to be with his lips into your core. Feeling like his fingers were wet enough, he pulled them out and shoved into you.

"Let me hear you." And you obliged, letting your lips hang and allowing your sounds to come out.

"K-kimi, fuck! Your fingers are so good, they've always been, but oh god- your tongue. Yes, please, yes."

You and Kimi never went much further than handjobs, this was the first time any of you were getting a head from the other.

And dear God, it felt amazing. Like heaven, and then hell and then heaven again. Kimi was leading you to your little death and probably what was after it too.

Your high was getting higher and higher, and Kimi was noticing it, stretching his hands to play with your nipples, stimulating you even more and letting your thighs clench his head.

You screamed, feeling his lips vibrate against your poor overstimulated cunt from his own moaning, fingers intertwined on the dark curls, pulling him in, almost as if you wanted him to enter you right there.

"You're pulsating, cara." He moaned. "Best pussy ever."

"You liked the way I taste?"

"I loved it."

"Can I taste you next?"

His eyes were blown wide, he was sucking on his fingers to get even more of your flavor, but that knocked him into reality.

With one final kiss on your clit, he pulled himself onto his feet and started undoing his belt. You slipped onto the floor and readied yourself on your knees in front of him.

Pulling his already hard cock out, he stared at you while you made contact with his angry red tip, giving it kitten licks.

"Don't be a tease." He warned, holding his dick by the base and, with the other hand, caressing your cheek. "Blow me like I'm yours."

And you did.

Started sucking the tip, bringing your hands up through his thighs until getting to his balls, massaging them as you guide your head closer and closer to his pelvis.

Using your tongue at the bottom, forcing your throat to relax and take all of him, which caused you to cough. Kimi held your hair in a pony tail, guiding you gently.

"Fuck! Don't do that." He hitched his breath and tighten his grip on your head when you moaned with your full mouth on him. "I'm not gonna last."

"Then cum on my tongue."

Holding your head with both his hands now, his thrusts on your mouth became more assured, harder but more careful. He moaned loudly, throwing his head back.

"Cazzo, Y/n- I'm-"

The taste of cum, nobody warned you before, was terrible. It was hot and sticky, almost like some kind of melted plastic, and it made you cough with him still on your mouth. But his dark huge orbs were staring at you.

So you swallowed with difficulty, and already started working your tongue on the bottom part of him again.

Grunting, Kimi pulled you up on your feet, kissing you, allowing your taste in his mouth and his taste in yours to mix.

He lied you back down on the couch, your legs immediately spreading to allow him in. His dick, already hardening, grazed against your wet pussy, making you quiver and lightly buck your hips up, chasing more.

Taking one of his hands from the top of your head he rubbed his dick around your folds, its tip massaging your clit.

"Who's being a tease now?"

He smiled brightly, aligning his length to your entrance. With one nod from you, he started invading your body.

Your mouth hang open, and he made sure to capture every single one of your moans into his own lips, feeling your tight embrace on his already stimulated dick.

And, dear God, was Kimi thick, stretching you out, feeling like he was going to rip you in half. His hands came up again, one caressing the top of your head and the other playing with your nipple, trying to ease it up on you. Meanwhile, your hands were holding onto his shoulders for dear life, legs already closing on him once again.

"Fuck, bella (beautiful), you're tight." He moaned on your neck. "It feels amazing."

"Kimi you're- its- everything. I can feel it all." You were babbling, trying to make sense of your words when there was none.

All you could think, taste, smell, feel and hear was Andrea Kimi Antonelli. You didn't know where you ended and he began, and honestly? You didn't want to know.

"Cara mia, I'm not trying to rush you, but please can I move?"

"Y-yes."

The alcohol, still buzzing in your blood, kept you numb to the pain, so he was free to move as quickly as he wanted, thrusting into you with hard slaps, forcing moans out of you.

"You feel so fucking good." Kimi whispered in your ear between grunts and sighs. "So, so good. You're taking me so fucking well, baby. Such a good girl."

His shit eating grin appeared as he felt you clenching around his thickness, and that's when an idea flashed his mind.

"How are you feeling?"

"Feels amazing, I need it more." You straightened your arms, holding onto his back, sticking your nails into his skin, pulling all of Kimi more and more towards your body.

"Do something for me?" You tried to look as he slowed down his pace. With one hand, he held your head and threw it back, off the edge of the couch, meeting your images in a huge mirror on the wall.

Kimi had a wide smile, ear to ear, as he rocked his hips into yours slowly, while you were a moaning mess, the make up even messier around your eyes, chest rising up and down. As a matter of fact, Kimi pulled your shirt up your tits to expose them, giving them a light slap, smile never leaving his face.

"Do you see yourself? Look at you, so pretty, so full of me." You moaned, he was starting to pick up the pace. He bent a little, just enough to reach your ears, still looking at you through the mirror. "How dare you say you're not mine?" His tone was rough, and it made your insides clench.

Kimi moaned as you kept squeezing his cock and pulling him to you as a desperate woman, like you needed him to breath.

"Fuck, baby! Can I- I'm way too far gone."

"Please."

His movements became erratic and uneasy as he approached his little death, holding your hair in a fist to keep you looking at the mirror, ableing you to watch as his grip on your waist got tighter and his dick thicker, pulsating inside you and finally pulsating his cum deep into your walls, who were clenching and pushing you to your own high.

"Come on, just give me one more." Zarping his arm around your waist he held you up, moving your body at his will like a doll. "Just one more, for me."

As if on command, your body gave in, scratching even more his body, your back arching from the couch, shaking and toes curling. Through the mirror you could see Kimi watching your every move, huge smile on his lips.

Getting down from your high, your whole mind was buzzing and blank, brain fucked just like your body.

"Are you okay?" He kissed you throughout the jawline. "Was I too rough?"

"You're amazing, Kimi." Words slurred, eyes blinking long. "It was awesome."

Slowly, the Italian retrieved, pulling his length, now soft, off of you. You sighed, feeling heavy and empty.

You sensed him moving around but refused to open your eyes, too afraid he'd be leaving you, scared to go back to the reality that your heart would be broken around once again.

"Vita?" He bopped your nose, and you looked at him. Raising his right hand, you spotted something on his right finger, simulating a ring. "I made it with a string of your hair that got stuck in my hand."

"I'll buy you a ring tomorrow and properly ask, but that's just so you don't have any more doubts."

"You don't even know if I'll say yes."

"Oh I'm not worried about that."

You and Kimi woke up the next day with knocks on the door. He was laying on top of you, barely being able to breathe, he grunted and blinked, eyes instantly checking on you.

"They woke you too?" You nodded, turning to the side to keep sleeping.

"It's your room, deal with it."

He rolled his eyes, pulling the covers to his hips and getting up, body completely naked except for that.

"Is Gabi." Kimi mumbled, looking through the peeking glass. "Hey mate."

"Heeeey." With the door open, you could hear the brazilian's smile as he spoke. "I was going to ask if you guys kissed ad made up, but I guess that's pretty clear now."

"Yeah, she's feeling waaaaay better now." Kimi smirked, throwing a glance in your direction.

You buried your head on the pillow and groaned, fuck, how did you guys not noticed last night that this couch was uncomfortable as hell?

It's Yana Toboso's birthday! (January 24, 1984)

Yana forgot her birthday this year...

... so there's even more reason to congratulate her and celebrate!

Some trivia:

She chose her penname "Yana Toboso" to indicate what kind of manga she wanted to create: Because there are so many mangas whose central themes are dreams, hope, friendship, and love, she wanted to make a manga whose focus is the opposite. "Yana" derives from "iya" (unpleasant, detestable, disagreeable; here: unpleasant/nasty child), and "toboso" is meant to signify importance: a "toboso" is a cavity in the frame of a door used as part of a pivot hinge; as doors wouldn't work without hinges, hinges are important objects. "Yana Toboso," therefore, is meant to mean "the hated/bad child is in the middle" (憎まれっ子がど真ん中にく る). (Character Guide, page 146)

Yana once stated that Ciel resembles her the most out of her characters. (Character Guide, page 147)

*cough* Obviously.

Exhibit A:

(Downstairs with Kuroshitsuji VII, from Volume 17)

(Chapter 76)

Exhibit B: The iconic Pancake Saga from 2018!

Yana's grandmother encouraged her to become a mangaka, and her mother pushed her to submit her work to a publisher when she was 20. Both have since passed away. (sources: akumadeenglish, The Japan Times)

She is a fan of the band L'Arc-en-Ciel (source). HYDE, the vocalist of that band, wrote the opening for Season 5. Yana was obviously very happy about that!

Yana contemplated making "fluffy spin-offs" to Kuroshitsuji, e.g., "a gourmet manga featuring the canteen of the Shinigami dispatch association HQ, or a manga where the Indian butler cooks curry or the black butler makes sweets, or where the servants make small discoveries." However, she dropped those ideas because her "fluffy concepts" kept becoming ominous after a few chapters. (source)

Kuroshitsuji was not meant to be set in 19th-century England from the beginning. Mr. K and the chief editor eventually suggested England as the setting. Yana, who did not know much about England (and could not find many materials early on; source: Downstairs with Kuroshitsuji II in Volume 2), especially not about 19th-century England, and did not believe the manga would be a hit anyway, then cooked up the wonderfully anachronistic Volume 1. Since then, Yana has become more knowledgeable about Victorian England, got a historical advisor (Rico Murakami) who also, sometimes, translates sources for her (source: Downstairs with Kuroshitsuji Special in Volume 15), has been (re-)learning English, and visited England twice. The manga has, thus, become significantly more historically accurate over the years. Still, as it's a fantasy manga, Yana likes to incorporate anachronistic elements for story purposes (e.g. Grim Reaper tech and possessions, Wolfsschlucht) anyway (or simply because she wants to; e.g. the idol groups, I suppose). Anachronisms have, thus, shifted from accidental to deliberate.

Sebastian's mobile phone will be forever iconic, but it has been retconned for over a decade now.

And The Wild Earl lost more than his head was cancelled when all TVs were thrown out of the continuity with the end of the Indian Butler Arc (TVs are last mentioned in Chapter 23).

May we learn many Victorian things alongside Yana in the next years too!

(Downstairs with Kuroshitsuji II, Volume 2)

And may she have a happy, restful birthday so that she doesn't forget it again^^' (And the best of health^^)

9-1-1: Oliver Stark Talks About That Buck-Eddie Fight, and What He Hopes Is Ahead for Them

Evan "Buck" Buckley's (Oliver Stark) world will never be the same again. In Season 8 of the ABC first-responder drama 9-1-1, co-creator and showrunner Tim Minear decided to kill off his first main character: Capt. Robert "Bobby" Nash (Peter Krause), the proverbial glue that held the LAFD's Station 118 together. The show's characters, much like its actors and devoted fans, have been left reeling ever since Bobby died after contracting a lethal strain of CCHF in the episode "Lab Rats," which aired just under a month ago. In Thursday's season finale, titled "Seismic Shifts," the remaining members of the fire station that Bobby helped build — as well as Bobby's widow, Sgt. Athena Grant-Nash (Angela Bassett) — will reach an inflection point as they respond to a high-rise building collapse and decide how to move forward in both their personal and professional lives. After deciding that Bobby was going to meet his demise in the second half of this season, Minear told THR last month that he had called up each of his cast members individually to deliver the bad news, but none of the actors wanted to believe him — and then all of them began bargaining with him to keep Bobby alive. In the end, Minear still chose to move forward with this controversial storyline, but he wanted to spend the last three episodes of the season dealing with the emotional fallout of Bobby's death.

Let's talk about screens and eye comfort.

@krakenartificer wrote this in response to my motivated lighting post.

Maximum-visibility lighting is also accessible lighting. I cannot turn the brightness on my screen up any more than it is -- even a few seconds of a light-mode app at 75% brightness will give me a migraine. I believe you when you say that the train-light photos are legible to you. But with my screen at ~50% brightness in a medium-dim room, that second one, with the bright-white light, is already painful to look at. And since my pupils have constricted to protect me, I can't see almost anything else going on there.

I already mentioned that if people are having issues seeing dark elements in their content, their room may be too bright. That is a strategy to get the highest quality viewing experience, but it may not be the most comfortable for people with various eye sensitivities.

So I'm going to address eye comfort over image quality in this post.

I think many people have a misconception about the brightness setting on their display. Often people will turn it up and down depending on the content they are viewing. If something has a really bright element, they may turn it down. If something is too dark, they may turn it up.

That isn't really how display brightness is meant to work. This setting is meant to maintain picture quality and contrast as much as possible while raising and lowering the overall intensity of the display. And the intensity is meant to be adjusted according to the viewer's environment, not what is on the screen from moment to moment.

You want the intensity of light in the room to match the brightness of your screen.

Some people prefer to adjust their screen a little brighter than ambient so it is a little more legible. But that is a personal preference.

So if you are in a dark room, you'd turn the brightness down.

If you are out in bright sun, you'd turn your brightness up.

If your screen is displaying near white or pure white and it hurts your eyes, that usually means your room is too dark. A brighter ambient environment can help make "light mode" more comfortable. Try turning on some lights or going to a brighter space and see if it helps.

However, some people do not feel comfortable in brighter rooms. This is when you might consider "bias lighting." This is a soft light source behind your screen that you can adjust to the maximum tolerable brightness to keep your eyes from going into night vision mode or max dilation.

It's better if the bias lighting is spread out rather than using a small light source like a night light. Small light sources feel much more intense and can add to eye strain. You want the light to cover a large surface area.

String lights across a wall work well.

Or you can bounce a light off a wall or ceiling to diffuse and spread it out. Many people just put a light behind their TV and light up the wall behind it.

The idea is to make the room *feel* dark while still having enough light to keep your pupils from opening up and feeling like any sudden bright light source is blasting you in the eyeballs. Your pupils prefer gradual adjustments to light and dark. If you go straight from a dark scene to a bright scene without any bias lighting, your eyes might feel a bit melty.

If you are *still* uncomfortable with white on your screen and have a particularly strong eye sensitivity, then you might consider sacrificing picture quality for comfort.

Turning down your brightness is not a great solution because it makes *everything* darker. Again, the brightness of your screen should be close to the room lighting.

Typically, to get the highest quality image you want to adjust your screen so the blacks are as black as possible and the whites are as white as possible without losing any detail.

Rtings has a guide for monitors and TVs for this.

They have two patterns for black and white point adjustment.

They look like this.

You want to see bars all the way up until the reference point.

The white point is most commonly called "contrast" in display settings. Sometimes there will be a contrast adjustment AND a white point adjustment. In that case, the white point only deals with the brightest highlights and the contrast will affect all whites.

But if you have really sensitive eyes... forget the charts. Forget peak image quality.

Instead, try lowering your contrast and reducing the intensity of *only* the white elements rather than darkening everything.

The picture might look a little gray and dull, but you won't lose as much legibility in the shadow areas. You are just turning down the brightest stuff to make your eyes more comfy.

Max white point...

Lowered white point...

And if you still need to turn down your screen brightness, you can raise the black point to keep more detail in the shadows.

Again, that might not look great, but it will keep your eyes comfortable and you will be able to make out all the details you need to see.

You might also consider adjusting the color temperature of your screen to be warmer. Blue light is higher frequency and more energetic. Which means it can pierce and glare more than warmer light. So shifting things to the orange could also bring some comfort to sensitive eyes. Search for a “Warm” mode, “Eye Comfort” mode, or Night Shift settings.

Most TVs and monitors have these adjustments. Sometimes they call them different things, so you may have to do some googling. (God forbid tech companies ever agree on a standard.)

And if you are on a phone or laptop, you may need a special app to adjust these specific things. I would research "how to reduce white point" for whatever device you are using.

To review...

Adjust your ambient room lighting first. Brighter ambient room lighting can make bright white elements on your display more comfortable.

Display "brightness" should be adjusted to your lighting environment, not the content on screen.

If you don't like bright rooms, bias lighting behind your display can keep your eyes from going into night vision mode. This can prevent bright screen elements from being too intense or glaring.

If you have eye sensitivity issues, try all of the above first, and then consider lowering your contrast or white point setting. This will dim only the brightest elements on screen without making everything else too dark.

If you need to lower the screen brightness AND white point/contrast, you may lose detail in the shadows as well. You can try raising the black point to compensate. This is a worst case scenario and will probably not look great.

Consider warmer color temperature settings to reduce glare from high-frequency blue light.

Guide for the recent BoB fandom information explosion

Essentially, the US Army and Heritage Education Center possesses a vast collection of materials related to Dick Winters, which served as the original source for writing the book Band of Brothers and for the production of the TV series. This includes a huge amount of photocopies of Winters' personal papers and personnel documents; photocopies of correspondence, memoirs, news clippings, oral history transcripts, and photographs from the men in Easy Company.

There are a total of 20 boxes, containing 100+ PDF documents that can be read online, involving most of the E Company soldiers whose names we can recognize.

These materials may have been on the internet for many years, but no one paid attention until very recently.

Here are some notable files among these materials: The complete catalog of the Dick Winters collection

3, 7, 18 for Carlos I'm gonna melt - also congrats!

AND I JUST CAN’T CONTAIN THIS FEELING THAT REMAINS!

1K SPECIAL - CS55

Soft make out session + dancing in the kitchen + comparing hand sizes

SUMMARY: Making pancakes with your boyfriend :)

WORD COUNT: 876

WARNINGS: FLUFF, Reader and Carlos are both parents, Carlos making pancakes deserves a warning

FEATURING: Carlos Sainz x Wife!Reader

NOTE: That picture, why does he look so pretty I love him so… sooo…. soo much

YOU AWOKE TO A KISS. The room had erupted into small giggles and a deep chuckle, no doubt sourced from both your husband and your daughter. You grinned in your sleepy state, eyes still shut as you rolled over onto your side, away from them. Carlos drawled out a quiet laugh, yanking the covers away from you.

You groaned, reaching out with grabby hands for your blanket. When it wasn’t handed to you instantly, you gave up and let your arm fall to your side again. With a deep breath, you sat up, earning a kiss atop your scalp. “Good morning,” He muttered into your hair.

“HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!” Your daughter cheered, tugging on your hand to drag the attention back to her. You laughed, ruffling her hair affectionately, thanking her softly. “I gotta go work on your gift mama, so papa is gonna take care of you.” She lightly pulled on his index finger.

“Oh thank you baby,” You spoke dramatically. “I’m definitely in good hands then.” Your daughter scampered off, presumably to finish up your gift, whatever that meant exactly. You turned your attention to your husband. “I hope you know I don’t expect you to take care of me,” You teased.

“Nonsense, amor.” He pulled on your hand, dragging you out of bed. “First we have pancakes, and then lunch, and then your mom is paying a visit— Don’t forget that I need to send my mamá a gift as well.” You slid on the slippers that sat by your bed as he pulled you along to the kitchen. He had all his ingredients out, but no product yet. “Just sit while I cook you breakfast.”

“Mmm, no, I want to help.” You insisted. It was a simple recipe, but cooking was always much more fun when two people were involved. He gave you a look that was nearly offended.

“On Mother’s Day?” He asked incredulously, like he couldn’t believe such a suggestion.

“Yes, Carlos.” You giggled, adjusting the robe he had thrown on you. It was fluffy and soft; something you usually only wore for special occasions. “On Mother’s Day. I like cooking with you.”

“Fine.” He rolled his eyes playfully, a strong hand on the small of your back as he guided you into the kitchen. “Pancakes. You know what to do.” You did indeed. It was his signature recipe, you were bound to know.

Soft music played in the background. The TV was set to the station that played music, most of it being slow songs. If you listened closely, you could hear your daughter humming and singing along from the living room, accompanied by the scribbling sounds of crayons on paper.

You both worked deftly in the kitchen, combining your skills to make the journey more efficient. When you had finished whipping the egg yolks, or ‘zzzz-ing’ them, as your husband liked to say, he had subconsciously scooped some up onto his finger and into his mouth. You blinked, staring at him with confusion.

He swallowed, and then you both erupted into a short fit of laughter. “Not sure why you did that,” You teased.

“Ay, mi amor. I have no clue myself.” He slyly placed one hand on your waist as the song transitioned, and you turned in his hold to face him. Your other hands joined in a closed dancing position, causing you to laugh.

“Sneakily dancing with your wife?” He shrugged suspiciously in response. You both swayed to the music, sharing a look of utter love. “Your hands are huge, Carlos.”

He laughed, shaking his head softly. “You had my child and you’re just now realizing that?” Your cheeks grew warm, and this time you were the one dramatically shaking your head. “Maybe your hands are just small.”

“No way. These things are monster-like.” You both shared laughter again, filling your kitchen with temporary mirth. He even twirled you, your slippers sliding against the hardwood flooring. When he tugged you back in, his grip firm, he pressed his lips to yours.

The kissing didn’t stop there, though. You both swayed along to the music still, but this time your lips seemed to join in the rhythm. In between each peck was a soft giggle from either side, or a witty little comment.

It wasn’t until your daughter marched into the kitchen, gasping at the sight of her parents sharing a sneaky kiss, that you broke apart and realized just how long it had been. The half-finished pancake mix was just sitting off to the side, waiting to be finished.

“Gross!” Your daughter squealed, laughing along. “Look mama!” She held up the drawing, which featured the two of you as stick figures, holding hands in a grassy field with a sun peeking out in the corner, adorned with a pair of sunglasses. She even wrote ‘Happy Mother’s Day’ at the top in her messy handwriting.

You broke away from his hold, leaving him to lean against the counter and watch the heart-melting moment from afar. You crouched before your daughter, accepting the gift and pulling her into a hug. “Thank you baby, it’s beautiful! Best gift I’ve ever received.”

“Even better than papa’s kisses?” She grimaced, like just thinking about it grossed her out.

“Way better.”

“Hey!”

Duty Calls

Virgin Mark Grayson x Female reader

Summary: Being intimate with Mark never goes according to plan. He always gets called out for missions just before getting to the good part. He’s promised to make it up to you.

Tags: Just vanilla sex. Unprotected P in V. Oral sex (female receiving). Slight dirty talk. Whimpering. Overstimulation. Fingering. Masturbation. Missionary. Costume stays on. Creampies.

Wc: 3,430

AN: I was rewatching invincible and the whole Amber arc gave me this idea. Thank you for reading. Hope ya’ll enjoy.

It was rare to find intimate time with Mark. It was as if the universe intervened on purpose. Well, not the universe but a man called Cecil. That’s what Mark called the man who would send him on assignments at the most inconvenient of times. You were pretty sure he was somehow spying on you both and got a kick out of interrupting your alone time.

As you both made out deeply under the darkness of your dorm room, the tv the only source of light, you prayed that for once they wouldn’t call your boyfriend away. Especially now that he began to trail his kisses lower and lower.

You were both still fully dressed since what was happening was definitely not planned. A simple peck on the lips led to one thing and then to another. Like his clothed cock grinding on your lower half as he softly nibbled and sucked all over your neck. He was definitely leaving marks you would have to cover later.

“I… thought we were supposed to be watching a movie.” You managed to say as your fingers tangled between his dark hair. The ecstasy and anticipation making you sound out of breath.

The only response you received was an uninterested hum as his rough hands continued to explore your body under your shirt. His hands were everywhere except where you needed them, and knowing the world’s bad timing, you desperately began to guide one of his hands to your clothed cunt. Your excitement didn’t fail to form a wet patch on your pants which he definitely noticed. You were absolutely dripping for him, and the fact that he made you feel this desperate made his chest swell with pride and a smug smile appear on his face. Acting as if he wasn’t a virgin.

“Do you want me to touch you here?” He said smugly as he lazily rubbed circles on your clit. This caused you to squirm underneath him with your clothed cunt rising to meet his fingers. He was just following his instincts and your reactions. Like the way your body shuddered when he touched you a certain way, or the little yelps and whimpers that escaped you when he squeezed and caressed other parts.

“Y-yes… please… I want more.” You begged which was so out of character for you. Your relationship dynamic seemed to have flipped since you’re usually the assertive one while he is more timid and shy when it came to you. But the way he was handling you right now made you melt in his grasp.

If he wasn’t as desperate as you, he would’ve continued to tease you. He enjoys the way your face becomes flustered and the adorable way your eyes look at him when you beg. Not to mention the slight pout you give him which he bets you are not aware of.

Without meaning to, he ripped your pants off your body, unable to control his strength. You couldn’t help but gasp. He gave a nervous chuckle and offered you an apologetic look before softly removing your drenched panties off your body. You were embarrassed to admit that his demonstration of power made you hot and needy all over, wishing he would manhandle you like that too.

You spread your legs for him which earned you a sharp inhale from his end. He knew he had to hurry because with his luck, something was definitely about to happen. But, fuck, did he want to delve in you more. Explore your body with not only his hands but his tongue and mouth too. Make you come undone not only on his cock, but on his mouth and fingers too.

Fuck it.

“Mark stop looking at me like tha-“ before you could finish, his mouth connected with your pussy. His tongue rapidly lapping on your entrance between your folds all the way to your clit. It was a pattern of delving into your weeping hole and sucking on your bundle of nerves. His actions caused your bottom half to twitch and writhe beneath him. The pleasure becoming too much too fast.

You tried to inch yourself up, trying to take a break from his assault, but his grip on your thighs tightened keeping you in place.

“Why are you trying to run away from me baby? Am I not making you feel good? Am I doing this wrong?” He mocked sadness in his tone then continued to suck and lick your clit. Not failing to make eye contact. His puppy eyes meeting yours while his cheeks flared a pretty pink.

“S’too much.” You struggled to speak. The overstimulation on your clit became too much. Your thighs began to tremble and tightened around his head. The knot you felt on your lower half continued to tighten with each of his movements driving you closer and closer to the edge. God did you love the way his pretty brown eyes rolled to the back at his head from the mere taste of your pussy. He swore the taste of your cunt was enough to make him cum in his pants like the virgin he was.

And as if he didn’t even listen to your pleads, he proceeded to insert two fingers inside your dripping sex while he continued to suck on your clit. He curled and scissored them so deliciously never failing to reach that perfect spongy spot. You covered your face with a pillow to prevent you from screaming or moaning. This was an all girls dorm building which meant that being caught meant getting expelled. Not the mention the drama that would ensue from the faculty trying to figure out how Mark made it to the second floor of your building without getting caught by the security guards or cameras along the way.

The speed and roughness of his fingers increased the more he watched you tremble and struggle to keep quiet. His hand and fingers were dripping from your arousal causing his cock to further strain and twitch inside his jeans.

You held onto his free hand that was gripping your thigh as your body went rigid. You were so close that you felt more of your arousal drip onto his face and fingers. Your nails dug into his free wrist as you began to rut on his face loving the stimulation on your swollen clit.

“F-fuck. I’m so close.” Your words came out muffled behind your pillow but he was able to understand them. He moaned into your cunt absolutely in love with the sight of you. His moans and grunts were enough to send you over the edge, squirting on his pretty face as your body convulsed from the pleasure.

He wasted no time kneeling between your legs and freeing his aching cock from its confinement. His face still dripping from a mix of his saliva and your cum. You laid underneath him, limp and basking in the glow of your orgasm. Although you both had been together for a while, this was probably the furthest you’ve gone with him intimately. Sure there had been rubbing, grinding and over the clothes stuff, but you had been craving his cock this whole time, and although you were still sensitive from your orgasm, you wanted him to shove his cock inside you and use you for his own pleasure.

Your heart dropped when you felt the swollen tip of his cock circling and teasing your entrance.

It was finally happening.

When your eyes met he froze, “Are you sure you want me to continue?” Him stopping almost looked painful. You could see the way his cock throbbed desperate to be inside you.

You nodded eagerly.

The way your walls squeezed his tip felt heavenly that he had to stop himself from immediately shoving his cock deep inside you without letting you adjust. As much as he wanted to claim you, he didn’t want to hurt you.

“Please… just fuck me already.” You pleaded with tears welling your eyes not caring if it hurt.

A loud beeping noise cut through the air, snapping you both out of your lustful trance. It was a noise you both knew all too well.

“Fuck!” Mark shouted as he fumbled with his pants looking for the source of the noise. Once he took out his phone, he couldn’t stop himself from yelling at the person on the other end, “What?!”

Your eyes drifted behind him to the muted TV. Since you did not get a chance to play a movie, the random show that was playing in the forgotten background was interrupted by a news report about a meteor threatening all life on earth.

A meteor! A fucking meteor?! Are you fucking kidding me?!

Your head fell into the pillows in defeat as you brought your hands up to your face rubbing your eyes in frustration. You knew how the rest of the evening was about to play out.

“Can’t you just send literally anybody else Cecil? I’m kinda in the middle of something.” Mark pleaded but you both knew there was no use.

He ended the call with an annoyed growl.

He looked at you with those pleading puppy eyes. “I’m sorry baby. I have to go.”

“I swear, your boss does this on purpose. Is he spying on us? Can he see what we are doing?!”

“Don’t worry baby he wouldn’t do that… I’ve checked.” He added quickly.

“Out of all the heroes under his payroll, he has to send you?” Tears welled in your eyes out of frustration. You were so close. So close to finally claiming him.

He scrambled around the room for his jeans and underwear while you laid in bed trembling in frustration.

“I know baby. I’ll make it up to you. I promise.” He pecked your lips multiple times trying to cheer you up.

“It’s just a stupid meteor. I’ll be back in five minutes. I promise.”

Before you could answer he flew out the window. Papers you left around the room along with other light objects scattered in his wake.

With your luck, it definitely will not be five minutes. You predicted that once he punched the meteor, an ancient alien race living inside it will awaken and begin an invasion on earth. You didn’t doubt that mark could stop it, but it definitely would not take five minutes.

You groaned in frustration as you reached for your night stand. Angrily, you pulled the drawer open to reveal your cute pink dildo. Of course, it did not compare to Marks impressive length, but tonight it’ll have to do.

“Fucking bullshit.” You muttered under your breath as you reached for your phone. As angry as you were, you still wanted to tease your virgin boyfriend.

You, once again, spread your legs open positioning the tip of your dildo outside your tight hole. You were still wet from your previous orgasm, so there was little to no resistance when you pushed the tip inside. You whimpered at the delicious feeling desperately wishing it was marks cock stretching you.

Next, you positioned your phone between your legs with the camera app open capturing the sight of you fucking your self with your dildo. You wasted no time capturing the image and sending it to mark. The caption read, ‘This could’ve been you’ with an eye roll emoji. You had never sent him something so explicit like this before, but you were so horny that you did not think twice about it.

After sending the image, you tossed your phone aside and continued to focus on your pleasure. You thrusted the toy in and out of you but it didn’t quite reach your sensitive parts as Marks fingers did earlier. The room filled with the noise of your sinful wet squelching as you tried to hide your whimpers by biting your lip.

Your mind filled with images and thoughts of Mark as you continued to thrust your toy. The images of his abs, strong biceps, and large cock were enough to make you drip on the bed. As much as you wanted him to manhandle you with his strength and fuck you in any way he wanted, you also wanted to make him whimper and moan beneath you. You wanted to see his pretty face flush and desperate as he fucked you.

Those images were slowly pushing you to the edge. Your orgasm was right there ready to burst, but it just wasn’t enough. As much as it kept building, it never came and it was making you cry with frustration.

You got on your knees, ass up face down hoping the change in position would help with your dilemma. You continued to thrust the toy into your pussy moaning his name as more images of him clouded your mind. Especially all the different positions he could’ve had you in right now.

You were so focused on your orgasm that you did not feel him fly in. He stood at the end of the bed, eyes wide at the way your wet cunt swallowed your toy with ease. The way your cum dripped down the toy and onto the sheets caused his cock to strain painfully against his costume, begging to be touched.

As he enjoyed the view, he wasted no time lowering down the bottom half of his costume to free his stiff cock. He slapped the toy out of your hand and lined his cock with your hole. You gasped as you looked back at him. His mask still on as he didn’t want to waste any time undressing.

“Why do you look so surprised? I said it was only going to be five minutes.” Truth be told, he was struggling with the giant meteor until he saw the image you sent. New found strength surfaced and he was able to punch the meteor into smithereens before immediately flying back to your dorm, ignoring whatever Cecil had to say in his ear piece about clean up.

Finally.

He was finally going to claim you as his.

Feeling the way his girthy tip stretched your tight hole was enough to make you drool onto the sheets beneath you.

Mark held onto your hips with such force it almost hurt. He needed something to ground him to reality from the absolute bliss he felt within your walls. Your cunt felt so heavenly to him that it made him breathless, panting behind you.

“O-oh fuck.” He whimpered as he fully sheathed himself inside you. His cock throbbed before he even got the chance to begin thrusting leading him to cum deep inside your walls.

Before you could even question him about it, he slowly began to thrust in and out of you leading his cum to drip out of your pussy and down your thigh. He began to take his time with his thrusts, loving the feeling of every ridge and squeeze your wet pussy had to offer him.

“Fuuuck.” He moaned a little too loud for your liking, but you were so lost in the pleasure to care. You mindlessly began to shove yourself on his cock, setting up your own pace since he was moving too slow for your liking.

“W-wait. S’too much.” The pleasure caused him to slur his words. You could practically hear the way he drooled from your movements. His cock still too sensitive from his premature orgasm.

“I want to cum too Mark. Please help me cum on your cock. I’m almost there.” You moaned.

Your words were honestly enough to make him cum again but he held it in. He decided he wanted to leave you cock drunk in the same way your pussy had him.

His thrusts began to pick up the pace reaching newer depths that had you seeing stars. He consistently hit that delicious spongy part which caused shivers to run down your spine. The buildup to your orgasm came quick, nothing compared to the forgotten toy that way thrown somewhere across the room.

The only noise in the room was the wet slaps of skin on skin and he realized he did not like that. He wanted you to moan louder, to let him know he was doing a good job. His thrusts became rougher and faster which quickly pushed you over the edge. The buildup finally snapping as your body trembled and shuddered in pleasure. The orgasm hitting you hard enough to cause a ringing in your ears and your eyes to water from the intensity of it all.

“Mark~” you moaned into the pillows trying not to alert the rest of your dorm.

He did not like that.

He kept fucking into you bending over you so your bodies were flush against each other. The new position made him fuck you deeper than before. This time he was chasing his own release, proudly demonstrating his Viltrumite endurance.

“I’m going to make it up to you.” He grunted into your ear.

“I’m going to make it up for all those missed opportunities baby.” With that, he gave one more deep thrust before shooting his load deep inside you.

“F-fuck, baby I’m sorry. I came inside again.”

Without taking his cock out, he softly flipped you over so he could see your fucked out expression. Your cheeks were a deep crimson while you looked at him with half lidded eyes, still basking in the glow of your orgasm. The weak smile you gave him made him kiss your face all over. You looked so cute like this.

You didn’t fail to notice how his half soft cock was starting to become hard again inside you. Your legs tightened on either side of his hips as he slowly began to build up his thrusts again.

“You’re so beautiful. Look how hard you get me.” He said between kisses. His thrusts began to pick up pace again.

Without warning, he lifted one of your legs over his shoulder and continued his onslaught.

Your nails clung to the back of his costume as the air was knocked out of your lungs. As sensitive as you were, you felt another orgasm build up, more intense than the last. The mix of both your cums dripped down your thighs and onto his, dampening his costume.

You couldn’t believe that this was what you missed out on every time he flew out to be a hero.

“Take off that fucking mask.” You managed to say as he fucked you deeper.

“Let me see those pretty eyes.” You threw his mask somewhere across the room and were surprised to find those pretty brown eyes watery with tears.

“I’m sorry. I’m so pathetic. You just feel so good.” He slurred as his thrusts increase in force. The bed groaned beneath you and you feared he would end up breaking it.

“You make me feel so good. You’re doing such a good job baby.” You moaned into his ear causing him to whimper. Your words caused his thrusts to become erratic. This time you came first and you came hard, spraying his bottom half with your juices.

“Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.” He mumbled as if it was a prayer before cumming inside you once again. He shudders as he empties himself inside, panting as if he had run a marathon. You felt so full of his cum that your body couldn’t hold it in anymore. His cum dripped out of you to join the mess beneath you. Kisses rained down on your cheeks and forehead before he dropped down besides you. You didn’t fail to notice how his cock was still a bit hard. No doubt his superhuman body was still able to keep going, but you were only human. You’re glad he didn’t push you for more.

“I love you.” He mumbled against your cheek.

“I love you too.” You turned to peck his lips.

“I just hope we weren’t loud.” You giggled.

“Don’t worry. I’ll just fly out and no one will notice I was ever here. They’ll just think you were masturbating a bit loud. Not enough to get you expelled right?” He teased.

You playfully hit his shoulder, but he was right. Just as long as they didn’t find a boy in the room with you, you should be okay.

“Weird how Cecil didn’t interrupt us this time.” You said as you cuddled against him

“That may have to do with me dropping my ear piece somewhere along the way over here.”

“Well you should find it and get back to work, invincible.”

“I should… maybe after another round.”

The Untold Stories of “Are You Sure!?”

I know it's been quite some time since Jikook's travel show, Are You Sure?, aired on Disney+, and I've been wanting to share my thoughts about it here ever since. After watching the entire series twice, I've finally organized my reflections and found time to put them into words. Without further preamble or disclaimer, let's dive right in.

I’m Not Sure…

I must admit that a duo trip for Jikook and a reality show based on it wasn’t in the most optimistic Jikookers’ bingo card. But we got it in the best way possible, a whole Disney+ series with some of the most beautiful, meaningful, and intimate Jikook moments to gush about for years. Through the eight episodes, we saw them talking sweetly, laughing together, cuddling and touching intimately, being domestic, and taking care of each other. I can talk about those moments for hours, but I know many Jikookers have done it in the past few months, and I’m going to look at this show from a different point of view; What does this show add to our Jikookery encyclopedia?

For new fans, this show can be a guide to know more about Jikook’s real and special bond, but for veteran Jikookers like us, maybe there was not much new information. We cherished seeing them together, enjoyed their sweet moments, and learned more unknown facts about them and their dynamics. You may say we already knew how inseparable and couply they are and have been familiar with their domestic nature. But was that all we perceived from AYS, or we can go deeper and find more? Yes, there is always more to see without hallucination or delusion.

First of all, keep in mind that AYS is a TV show after all, and we know TV shows, including reality shows, can be scripted. These shows are often filmed and edited in ways that emphasize specific narratives or push certain agendas. I’ve discussed the topic of "Scripts in BTS Content" before (link) and concluded that the narratives in BTS reality shows, especially the paid ones, aren’t far from the members’ real dynamics, making them largely authentic. However, in the case of AYS, we have even more solid proof of this authenticity: Jimin and JK themselves confirmed that we see them as they are in the show.

But the thing is, what we saw in the show wasn't everything. No matter how honest and authentic they try to be, approximately 96% of the footage had to be edited out to condense an eight-day trip into less than ten hours of television series. This percentage would be even higher if we accounted for duplicate shots from multiple cameras and repeated scenes - though there's no precise way to calculate this. The truth remains: there was far more that went unseen, and I'm attempting to shed light on these untold stories from "Are You Sure?!"

USA

The first chapter of AYS was also the shortest, consisting of only two episodes, and it began with Jikook in New York, US. The timing of this trip was particularly interesting: JK traveled to the US on July 12th for his "Seven" promotions and GMA performance, and the next day, we saw Jimin at the airport heading to the same destination. Unofficial sources had announced that they were planning to film something together in New York - which turned out to be true, though not the full story. What many Jikookers overlooked was the significance of this moment for JK's career. As he embarked on his solo journey with a bold, sexy song and romantic music video, he clearly wanted Jimin by his side during this pivotal and stressful moment.

Meanwhile, Jimin’s presence beside JK served as crucial emotional support during this important moment in his career. While some might argue that Jimin similarly supported Hobi and Suga during their solo performances by traveling to the US, and JK is just another BTS member he loves and supports. But don’t forget that both times in August 2022 and May 2023 had coincided with Jimin’s own solo schedules in that country. This time, however, his trip had no purpose other than filming a potential travel show and simply being there for JK. This was when Jimin had just finished recording his second album, Muse, and "finally" had free time to spend with JK, plus, unlike Hobi and Yoongi’s solo performances, Jimin’s presence in New York for JK, wasn’t covered in the respective Bangtan Episode.

However, their journey immediately faced setbacks: JK's live performance was canceled due to heavy rain in New York, leaving him feeling gloomy, he even joked about being "cursed by water" on their first day. On the other hand, Jimin got sick and spent most of the day unwell, growing pessimistic about their show's prospects. Despite this streak of bad luck, they managed to uplift each other and enjoy being together. The second day told a different story, with Jimin feeling better and JK supposedly being happy about "Seven" topping the charts, their real dynamic emerged, leading to some of their most intimate moments. I’m sure you know which moments I’m talking about.

Okay, let's address the elephant in the room: “Jikook discussing how they hadn't seen each other”. Their conversation in the first episode about this separation raised questions about their dynamic during the solo era, specifically the period between the YTC Busan concert and the release of "Seven". Despite the inaccuracy in the official English subs for this part of the episode, I have to remind you, the era Jikook were talking about was when Jin and then Hobi enlisted in the military after releasing their farewell gifts for fans, Namjoon and Jimin released solo albums, and Yoongi embarked on a solo tour after his comeback.

At the same time, we stopped seeing Jikook together as frequently as before. This coincidence between the solo era activities and Jikook's so-called separation fueled conspiracy theories among haters, with claims like "Chapter two revealed the members' true relationships”. But we already had the answer to these claims: Jimin was working intensely on not one but two albums simultaneously, leaving him little time to spend with JK or anyone else outside his work. Meanwhile, JK had more free time, which explains why he was frequently seen socializing with various friends and acquaintances.

So, the question is: Did Jikook really not see each other for six, seven months? We witnessed them together at least four times during this period and it appears our definition of "not seeing each other" differs from Jikook’s. They were specifically referring to their inability to spend meaningful quality time together, which simply wasn't possible during that era. However, immediately after finishing recording his second album, Jimin went straight to JK to create new memories with him. Personally, I think parts of this "separation era" weren't solely due to busy schedules. At that time, they still were not sure about their upcoming enlisting situation, and perhaps they were trying to do a trial for their eventual military separation, but they failed miserably, ended up pining over each other. So, this result possibly leading to their joint enlistment decision. Of course, this remains just a theory and I could be entirely wrong, and the simpler explanation might be Jimin's overwhelming workload at the time.

Now let's discuss the untold part of the story. After wrapping up their trip and filming, Jimin returned to South Korea on July 18th while JK remained in the US to depart for London the following day. Considering the time difference between Connecticut and South Korea, Jimin actually stayed for more night and day after filming concluded. This means they spent at least one full night and day together off-camera. Antoya, the New York restaurant, confirmed in an official post that Jimin and JK dined there twice, first time with cameras and staff and the second time without them, while the show included only brief footage from Antoya, mere seconds of them discussing JK's sore throat.

Based on their filming schedule, we can determine the second visit occurred after they returned to New York from Connecticut, following the completion of shooting. This confirms they enjoyed private time together, just the two of them. Jikook's time in the US wasn't just about their couple-like conversations during hikes or their casual touches on the boat or in bed. Their connection went much deeper: JK cared for Jimin when he was sick, prayed for his recovery, and prepared special meals for him. Similarly, Jimin supported JK through his stressful days, and as we realized by analyzing their travel schedules earlier, it was something that extended far beyond simply filming a show.

We never saw footage of Jikook's topless photo on the wharf or never witnessed how Jimin's nose got injured by JK's elbow in their sleep. While we were deprived of many potential moments, what we did receive were some of the most genuine and authentic episodes of the series. The impact of this trip on Jikook was big enough that we saw JK passionately discussing their experience on Suchitwa and begging Jimin to join his live just days after returning, the experience that was pleasant enough to motivated them to continue the show with more travel destinations.

Jeju

The next destination for Jikook’s travel show was Jeju Island in South Korea. These three episodes featured Taehyung accompanying Jikook, though his participation was included to the show only two days before filming began. While this last-minute addition sparked unnecessary controversy among some shippers, it’s important to recognize the benefits of Taehyung’s guest appearance; it proved that aside from the predetermined itinerary and props, nothing else about the show was scripted. Moreover, despite the presence of a third party, Jikook continued to display their unique and romantic connection - both on and off camera. Also, for viewers seeking an unbiased comparison of their dynamics, these episodes are valuable case studies.

Vminkook enjoyed numerous exciting activities in Jeju, from ocean fishing and kart racing to more mundane moments like shared meals, sleep, and playing together. Despite the Jeju episodes having the shortest average runtime (60 minutes compared to 63 and 77 minutes for the US and Sapporo) and including lengthy scenes like their 15-minute Japanese restaurant meal, we were still treated to precious Jikook moments. Highlights included their heartfelt conversation about enlisting together, the adorable pool scene, their casual cuddles in bed, and romantic interactions alongside playful bickering and roleplaying. These moments, authentic and unfiltered, reinforced just how deeply connected and inseparable they are, no matter who accompanies them.

Aside from what was shown on camera, there were some other interesting facts to notice. As we know, the Jeju filming officially began on September 26th and concluded on the 28th, just before Chuseok. I’m not sure if you were aware of the rumors from a credible source, about Jikook being spotted in Jeju during August that year, but I understand if you remain skeptical. Regardless of the rumor’s validity, Jimin himself confirmed their off-camera time together when he mentioned spending the night with JK right before departing for Jeju.

What makes this sleepover particularly special is the fact that JK had only arrived in Seoul the previous day, and we witnessed him rushing through the airport to go home. By his own admission, he hadn’t slept since landing, implying they stayed awake together all night. Even more intriguing, we later learned that Jikook received confirmation of their buddy system approval that same day. It’s highly likely they celebrated this news with a night of dining and drinks together alone—yet all we received was a vague mention in the show.

However, these off-camera moments extended far beyond their private date night. When JK’s mom mentioned Jimin twice during their phone call and inquired about their Chuseok reunion, the warmth of familial bonds was sensible. Throughout their trip, JK remained by Jimin’s side, even when Taehyung stepped away for personal activities, he lingered nearby even as Jimin slept, a quiet but telling detail. The show removed many intimate moments, for example the footage related to the iconic photobook image of JK proudly displaying Jimin’s name written in sunscreen on his belly. But I’m far from disappointed, if anything, I’m grateful for all the beautiful moments we got beyond our expectations.

Japan

As someone who doesn't particularly enjoy cold, snowy weather, I found these Sapporo episodes to be unexpectedly warm and sweet, and they left me emotionally attached. It's no surprise that Jikook themselves seemed to cherish this part of their travels most of all, as it marked their final trip before military enlistment. Japan has held special meaning for them since at least GCF in Tokyo, and winter has always been their favorite season. While their US trip presented some mishaps they weren't prepared for, and Jeju introduced a third party that altered their dynamic, Sapporo offered something different. Here, they seemed at ease - ready and willing to showcase their peak authentic, boyfriend behavior.

The Sapporo episodes featured some of the most memorable moments in the entire series, from their strolls along snowy sidewalks and playful antics on Sapporo's empty streets to listening to romantic songs while sharing AirPods on the train. Their indoor moments were also precious from playing and bickering to half naked Jacuzzi moments. At one point, Jimin remarked that is just how they are at home as laying on the floor singing, as JK effortlessly completing his verses like it is their everyday routine. Though their impending enlistment loomed in their thoughts and made the atmosphere bittersweet, these moments felt so natural and effortless.

There were so many sweet moments in these three episodes that I won’t be able to recount every one of them, I know you remember them as vividly as I do, and I cherish them all. As this post’s purpose suggests, I want to focus on the untold part of their Japan journey: Tokyo. We all saw them depart Seoul on November 23rd and return on the 28th, yet the three episodes of Japan only covered Sapporo. What went unshown were their two nights and two days in Tokyo. Yes, JK had his "Hate You" MV filming and an interview scheduled, but Jimin had no professional reason to accompany him, he could have joined JK later in Sapporo. Jimin was amid preparing Muse and might have used those days to rest or wrap up his work. Yet they chose to travel together, deliberately carving out private time away from cameras.

So, it's safe to say that the Tokyo portion of Jikook's Japan trip served as their private time together - a detail made even more meaningful by their personal history with the city. Throughout show promotions and commentary, they referenced their 2017 trip a few times, suggesting that they wanted to recreate those precious memories before enlistment. And so they did just for the two of them, preserving these new moments for themselves just as they had six years prior, never intended for filming or public viewing, and all we saw was a beautiful four-minute long edit created by JK himself, and of course Jimin’s sweet twitter edit. But this time, two photos of Jimin in Tokyo presumably taken by JK was all that we were allowed to see.

We Are Sure

After years of promoting the OT7 (7-1=0) narrative, Are You Sure?! a travel show, exclusively featuring Jikook, emerged as a completely unexpected phenomenon. To be honest, this Jikook portrayal, unaligned with most of the Jikook narratives we have seen from Hybe in the past few years. Does this signal a future shift? A soft or hard launch? I can't say for certain, and I prefer to remain pessimistic, only time will reveal the truth. What's undeniable is that AYS was a gift and a blessing for anyone who genuinely loves Jimin and JK. The series offered us rare glimpses of their authentic dynamic, something we'll always be grateful to Jikook for sharing. Across eight episodes and 52 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage, their undeniable chemistry shone through. Their endless inside jokes and constant roleplaying revealed just how close they are off-camera, maintaining their special connection in their own private world.

After reflecting on all the beautiful moments in Jikook's exclusive show, I wanted to end this post on a positive note, but one issue demands acknowledgment. Jimin and JK openly expressed their love for this journey and the series itself, and asked us to give it love and support. Yet the harsh reality remains; ARMY collectively chose to ignore the show, even voting against it for iHeartRadio awards. While disappointing, this wasn't surprising, because these haters knew that any success for this show could signal Hybe to produce similar content in the future, an outcome they clearly fear. At the very least, I challenge those dismissing Jikook's bond as "fanservice", true fanservice caters to fans, and when the so-called fandom rejects the content, this label becomes meaningless.

Whether fans like it or not, and regardless of Hybe commercialization, Jikook will continue doing as they please, and their actions clearly demonstrate that being together is their priority. Their joint enlistment and little to no updates from the military proven this beyond doubt. Military service is no luxury vacation in some lavish villa with yachts and fancy meals; they aren’t being paid to film content. They consciously chose harsher conditions solely to remain together, knowing separation would be unbearable for them. What they share is a bond built to last a lifetime. I feel privileged to exist in the same era as Jikook, and I pity those who either cannot or refuse to recognize their beautiful relationship.
