━☆ first kiss with seventeen: jeonghan

♡ first kiss with seventeen series ♡ masterlist ♡

pairing: jeonghan x reader

warnings: kissing, fluff

wordcount: 618

it all started with making a stupid bet with your boyfriend, jeonghan and you should have known that he would be up to no good because his reputation when it came to winning was notorious. you didn't actually think that he would end up winning. when you bet against him that he would get out of the escape room last, you just said it because you really didn't think he could. you had told him to go to the toughest escape room, thinking he'd get stuck, but here he was, coming out of the escape room third with a proud smile on his face. and the words you promised echoed back in your head - "if you win i'll kiss you", you had told.

"babyy, looks like someone owes me huh", he tells as he walks up to you, looking at you, the smirk still on his face. "how'd you manage that", you ask. "i have my ways", he says giving you a wink.

later that evening at home, jeonghan doesn't shy away from reminding you that you still owe him a kiss. the thing was you didn't know if you should just give him a plain kiss on the cheek or on the lips...because you both have never shared a kiss on the lips before.

"a penny for your thoughts?", jeonghan asks, snapping out of your head as he stands next to you, leaning against the doorframe. you smile softly. "where's my kiss baby? i'm gonna double this if i don't get it by today", he complains playfully, making you roll your eyes.

"alright, alright, your kiss is coming", you tell, chuckling as you stand up and walk towards him so that you're now standing in front of him. you're still looking at him, still torn between where to kiss him, feeling nervous all of a sudden. you really did want to kiss him - a real kiss. you've been so lost in your head that you don't realize that you've been staring at his lips for the last 30 seconds until he cutely pokes your cheek, making you meet his eyes.

"the kiss is going to double in the next minute", he teases, making you punch his arm playfully. you try to calm your nerves as you put your arms on his shoulders and lean in to kiss his cheek. but at the last moment, jeonghan's head turns and you end up kissing his lips instead. it's a quick peck before you realize what's happened and you pull away with a small gasp, covering a hand over your mouth in the process.

"your phone was ringing", jeonghan completes his sentence and it takes a few seconds for the kiss to sink into his mind before he's fighting the urge to smile. he wraps a hand around your waist and pulls you closer. you're so nervous. even though you've been close to jeonghan before, something the proximity between you both as you share a kiss is nerve-wracking. you gulp and look between his lips and his eyes.

"can i have another kiss?", he asks you sweetly, looking at you with adoration. "y-yeah", you mutter out and slowly lean in to kiss him again. he cups your cheek when your lips meet his, and he slowly moves his lips against yours, making your head spin. when he pulls away, you're almost breathless and you're sure that your cheeks have heated up.

"okay?", he asks softly and you nod your head, affirming a yes and he smiles. you move forward to peck his lips again and he grins, engulfing you in a hug as he tells you that he should make bets with you more often if kisses are his reward.

A brief analysis on Truth in FMA03

One of the interesting things about Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 is that Truth doesn't have a physical form, Truth isn't a being that Ed sees with his eyes. Truth is an experience.

In that aspect, Truth is almost something religious.

Religion is an important theme in the show after all.

Izumi interprets her experience in the Gate differently. She doesn't see it as Truth. How could she? Truth has no physical form. Truth doesn't introduce itself- smiling, shining proof. There is no explanation, no exposition, no face to the phenomena. Izumi and Ed are left to make their own assumptions.

Guilt-ridden by the death of her child and her failed attempt at human transmutation, Izumi sees the Gate akin to hell. Perhaps because she believes that's what she deserves.

Ed, however, sees it as the Truth. The answer to everything.

The Truth behind the universe, the Truth behind alchemy, the Truth behind successful human transmutation.

The way Truth is handled in FMA 03 is very interesting to me. Truth doesn't have a physical body. Truth might not even be real. The audience can only go off of the information and theories the characters have.

Truth has no form, Truth has no face.

Truth could be God, Truth could be the Devil, Truth could be Nothing, Truth could be Everything.

New poll

Pt: New poll :End Pt

was contacted by kirby and yan said that yan would prefer that any alt spelling of the arisso- prefix not be used, so the old poll has been deleted, and a new one will be started in it's place without the alt spelling. If the old poll could be deleted, that would be greatly appreciated. Very sorry for the inconvenience.

Out of the suggested replacement prefixes, which do you prefer?

This poll is being run to try to help the community as a group decide which prefix should become the new prefix to replace "Arisso-", as many suggestions have been given, and several have expressed confusion over the multiple prefixes both used and proposed at this point in time, and both the coiner and many in the community wanting to term to be rejoined under one prefix. All the options listed have been proposed as a replacement (Which can be found under the tag "Alternative name" on this blog).

Mentions under the cut for reach, as well as those who reblogged the previous poll. Again, very sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi! Heres a super interesting ask. How would you write a au where Jim is a changeling and Claire is the Trollhunter? Just to be clear, he and Bular HATE each other.

Hi! That's a premise I really like (and at some point, I wanted to write a fic like that, so I have some ideas).

So, Jim is a changeling, but he's a really young one and lacking a good chunk of the Janus Order's training. In any normal scenario, he'd never ended with a familiar, but Strickler pulled some strings to put Jim in his current position (as he noticed his talent and potential and decided to guarantee a strong subordinate early on). Nevertheless, Jim's lack of indoctrination shows as he is reluctant to follow the Order's rules, gets attached to people and openly shows his dislike of Bular (much to Strickler's amusement - though he'll never admit that one).

Still, Strickler doesn't approve Jim's rebellious streak as he's sure it'll get his protegee into a trouble. Walter is both mentor and father figure to Jim, but he is cordial only on public, while rather strict and demanding in private (though only because he cares about Jim's survival). Strickler starts to date Barbara to get better control over Jim's actions some years prior to the canon events start, however, it soon gets way beyond 'just a mission' as Walter falls in love for real. Strickler denies it, but both Nomura and Jim know the truth. By the beginning of the canon events Barbara and Strickler are engaged and planning the wedding.

As for Nomura, she is Jim's fighting instructor (as much like her Jim is one of more battle-capable changelings). She likes him a lot, but he reminds her of her younger self too much, so she believes that Jim is doomed to face so much disappointment and despair in the future.

I have mentioned before that Jim has attachments in this AU, despite being a changeling. Obviously, both Strickler and Nomura are 'family' for him, even if he never says it aloud (as those two would scold him for that statement), but there are also humans he cherishes too much. First, there is Barbara who he starts to consider his mother rather fast (Jim would kill for her if needed). Then, Toby appears in his life - while initially Toby initiated their friendship and Jim just went along for the sake of keeping his cover, it eventually turned into the real thing. However, Jim keeps his real identity a secret from Toby as he's not sure how Toby will react to him being inhuman. And finally, Jim has feelings for Claire, though he falls in love with her for a different reason than in the canon. In this AU, Jim accidentally sees Claire sneaking out to attend a concert despite her mother forbiding her that. For Jim, it's her bravery and rebellious streak that leaves the lasting impression.

Strickler is aware of Jim's crush and while he doesn't forbid it explicitly (because he's in a relationship with Barbara himself), he still warns Jim to never let his heart rule over his mind.

And then Claire finds the amulet and everything just goes to hell.

Jim discovers it the first, way before Strickler as he catches the glimpse of the amulet in Claire's bag. His feelings are complicated as the correct course of action would be getting the amulet, no matter how. Yet Jim is against hurting Claire, so his first plan is either steal the amulet or pretend it was his. It didn't work as the amulet decides to summon the armor in response to Jim's not-that-totally-harmless intent. Jim manages to fake the surprise and Claire asks him not tell anyone. Another complication is that Toby also sees the armor, so he's also involved now (and Jim isn't happy with that as he would prefer keeping his best friend as far from the troll stuff as possible).

Claire brings Jim and Toby to meet Blinky and Aaarrrgghh. Jim still plans to steal the amulet as Strickler has told him for years that it's the only chance for changelings to be rewarded like they deserved. Besides, it's the perfect way to demonstrate Bular's incompetence. For Jim, getting closer to Claire and winning her trust is vital, not to mention that he genuinely believes he protects her as well as he tries to liberate her from the burden she got by accident.

Meanwhile, Strickler learns about the amulet as well and has a talk with Jim about it. Strickler approves Jim's plan and praises him for finally putting his feelings aside for the sake of the mission success.

Yet Strickler is wrong as Jim starts to waver the longer he is around Claire both as a member of her trollhunting team and a partner in the school play (which he also joined in the hope to get more chances to seize the amulet). After Claire defeats Draal, Jim starts to think that she might have a chance to beat Bular too (and he plans to fight by her side). With that there would be no need to serve Bular and Jim could live free life.

Jim also gets close with Blinky as he doesn't get enough kindness and support from Strickler. No, he doesn't discard Strickler as his father figure, but the new bond is also there.

Strickler starts to doubt Jim, especially after Claire finds the bridge in the museum (as Jim points out that one and gets on Nomura's way when she is close to seizing the amulet). Jim tries to talk his way out of the predicament and Strickler pretends he believes him. However, he also orchestrates Enrique's kidnapping and planting NotEnrique in Claire's family to spy on her. Jim knows nothing about this plan.

When NotEnrique is exposed, he tells Claire about Jim's real identity, but she refuses to believe him at first. Draal suggests a gaggletack test and Claire agrees to the plan. She catches Jim by surprise and learns the truth. Jim runs away, not being able to explain a thing. Claire is hurt as she started falling in love with Jim, but now thinks that everything was just a lie. Toby and Blinky are hurt too as they question their bonds with Jim. And there is some bonding between Draal and Claire as they both had feelings for a changeling.

Jim is angry and upset. Strickler tells him that it was his punishment for rebellious thoughts and that Jim is lucky to get away with just that. Nomura is more sympathetic, but she tells Jim that any love relationship involving changelings are doomed.

Jim considers giving up and just going with a flow as nearly all his bonds outside the Janus Order are in the shambles (Barbara is the only one remaining and Jim is scared that Strickler might scheme to ruin that one too).

Still, Jim comes to help Claire during the Battle of Two Bridges. He is the one who finishes Bular here. He also reconciles with everyone, changing sides for good this time.

It creates a new kind of friction though - Strickler initially flee somewhere (he tells Barbara he needs to visit an estranged relative). Jim initially believes that Strickler won't return.

The team is planning to save Enrique from the Darklands and Jim insists they should get his familiar out too. He plans to tell the whole truth to Barbara too as he has decided to live his life honestly now. He just doesn't know how to do it though.

Strickler returns after freeing Angor Rot and uses binding spell behind Jim's back (as he's scared that Jim can kill him to ensure Barbara's safety - and in this AU it is a real possibility).

Jim is enraged after learning about it and it's even more complicated as they all live under the same roof and Strickler never fails to remind Jim that each of his missteps may endanger Barbara. What he hasn't considered though is that Jim might approach Angor and try to bargain with him.

Alas, Inferna Copula is destroyed in this AU too, forcing Claire and Jim working with Strickler. Poor Barbara learns that both her fiance and son are not humans the same night (and here goes Jim's plan to proceed carefully). She is angry with Strickler, but surprisingly more accepting when it comes to Jim. When Jim promises to return her real son to her, she corrects him with 'other son'. Much like in the canon she forgets about supernatural after the breaking of binding spell, but Jim tells her the truth for the second time in any case.

Much like Jim in the canon, Claire travels to the Darklands alone (actually, that was her plan from the very start as she believes it is her problem to solve). Jim, however, goes to the Darklands too (after beating some guards), so he's now considered a criminal at the Trollmarket (not that he was in good position to start with because of his changeling status).

As Jim and Claire went separately, they don't travel together. Jim finds the familiars first (well, he knows where they are kept), but gets caught by Dictatious, ending the next cell to Nomura.

Claire rescues both her brother and Jim's familiar, but goes back after learning that Jim is still in the Darklands. Usurna orders to destroy the bridge, but the rest of trollhunters steal the fragments and hide them. Strickler, who has returned and now hopes to make up with both Barbara and Jim, also helps them. All of them go to the Darklands too, saving Claire, Jim and Nomura.

Gunmar is out, like in the canon. He tries to seize control over Draal, but Nomura saves him just in time (as she doesn't leave in this AU). However, none of trollhunters are welcome at the Trollmarket anymore because everyone believes they liberated Gunmar.

Barbara is upset that she cannot do a thing while her son and her fiance who is still trying to win her forgiveness are risking their lives while she cannot do a thing. She accidentally stumbles upon the shadow stuff (the team was using it but without much effectiveness) and starts to get mastery of it. Barbara is the one who ends summoning a huge shadow portal to save everyone and gets possessed by Morgana.

The team decides to awake Merlin, and his plan is no different from the canon. He turns Claire into a half-troll and when Jim faces him in a fury, tells him that Jim should be the last person upset as Claire's new species means they can be together. Jim punches him (hell, yeah!).

Jim leaves with Claire to New Jersey. Draal who survives in this AU goes too, hoping to mend his relationship with Nomura.

When Green Knight attacks, Jim takes the hit for Claire, so he needs to fight the corruption. The team goes back in time, with Barbara and Strickler being two additions.

Claire, Jim and Strickler end in Arthur's dungeons and meet Callista there. Barbara tries to talk some common sense into Arthur, and later end joining forces with Morgana (who she's wary off initially). They both plan the escape plan. Jim and Claire travel with Callista, however Strickler decides to hang out around Camelot as he knows some changeling history and wonders if some things might be changed without ruining the timeline.

The return to the future speeds up Jim's corruption, but rather than becoming the beast troll like in the canon, it brings up and multiplies the darkness in Jim's heart. It also makes him bigger and stronger.

Barbara takes Claire and they both go inside the Shadow Realm searching for Jim's soul. They find him trapped with his own insecurities and doubts and try to ensure him that he still has his own place. Jim snaps out of the control and Nari helps to heal his corruption (Morgana helps too).

As the amulet isn't destroyed here, Claire remains the Trollhunter. Jim, however, gets Excalibur and finds his role as the protector of the world.

this made me look into the history of recycling programs in the u.s, and they wouldn't have really existed this early but since when did this game care about historical accuracy, the alamo can talk and tom jones is dead. also i had a blue light filter on when drawing that i've since turned off so colors are a bit off than what i had in mind but i don't care enough for adjustments, like i already think i could remake this better lol
