Featuring: Ben Drowned, Ticci Toby, Eyeless Jack

#Notes: they're all so touch starved my god

꒰⸝⸝₊⛓┊Ben Drowned

Honestly, he doesn't know how to react to affection. He's never known a romantic embrace before, most physical touch he's ever witnessed was while watching porn, so he might think you have some secondary intentions at first. Once he realizes it's just a genuine, love filled and wholesome touch you're giving him, he finds himself craving it more and more. Will do things for you and ask for kisses or cuddles as payment, smiling at you all cheeky like the little bastard he is. Vocal affection is also new for him; he's not used to compliments, normally people just refer to him as a lowlife pothead, so your praise is like music to him. He's utterly addicted to how loving you are.

꒰⸝⸝₊⛓┊Ticci Toby

Another one who's in no way used to this. Most physical contact he's ever gotten were beatings and most words directed towards him are laced with insults or a generally condescending tone, so when you finally show him what love and affection are really like, he swears he could cry. Will start getting even more clingy, needing more of you and your soft touches and comforting words, craving it even. It's quite sad to realize that showing him some genuine kindness is all it took for him to fall deeply in love with you, but he's yours now and isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

꒰⸝⸝₊⛓┊Eyeless Jack

Sure, he's dated before, while he was still human, but his memories from that time are foggy, to say the least. It's a small touch from it that brings those memories back, making him crave something he didn't even remember and doesn't think he deserves. At first, he'd shy away from your affection; he's a demon, after all. A monster. He doesn't deserve to feel love and kindness. He doesn't deserve you. But the more you insist, the more you shower him in affection in different ways, making it clear you're determined about this, he'll slowly start to open up. Everytime you cup his face gently into your hands, looking where his eyes should be, he swears he can feel his heart beating again.

Dude at this point this is more of a one-shot idk man I can't write properly.

Masterlist

He was your first love. Or at least you thought you loved him.

No one had treated you the way he did and you just fell for it. You fell hard.

But that facade was completely gone once you two started getting intimate.

He would start being more controlling.

He would control how you looked, what you wore a d even who you spoke to.

He knew all your passwords so there wasn't really any use in trying to text anyone.

But you were too blind to see the signs. You looked at your world with rose tainted glasses and you didn’t realize it was hurting you.

Your friends didn't think much of it at first. Thay thought "Hey it's exam season, maybe they're buissy."

But Leo picked up on what was happening. And he didn't like it one bit.

He tried to make you snap out of it and make you realize that the guy you were with was not good for you. That it was toxic.

You didn’t listen to him. You were too blinded by "Love" as you called it.

Every time Leo would try and make you see what was going on you would just respond:

"But he loves me. He doesn't do it with bad intent, he's just trying to protect me."

That eventually lead to you and Leo getting into a fight one night.

"Why do you hate him?"

"Because he's bad for you."

"He's not bad!"

"Yes he is!"

"Mention one bad thing he did to me"

"Um I don't know; maybe the fact that he controls what you wear. Or what you eat. Oh and what about the fact that we bearly see you anymore! The only way to get in touch with you is literally climbing up your window!"

"He's just trying to protect m-"

"Don't say that. You always say that."

"He loves-"

"No he doesn't!"

"FUCK YOU LEO!"

You hadn't spoken to Leo from that moment on.

At least untill "The incident".

Your boyfriend had never layed a hand on you up to this point.

It started with a stupid fight about what you two should eat that night and it somehow escalated into one about the nature of your relationship.

You had enough and got away from that building as fast as you could. If course you boyfrind screaming after you. But he didn't chase you. He didn't care enough.

You ended up sitting on a bench of a near by park.

"Are you ok?"

It was Leo. You didn’t know how he knew where you were but you were glad to see a familiar face in such a moment as this.

You liubged forward to hug him as tight as you as your body let you.

You two talked about what had happened just moments before between your boyfrind and yourself.

The two of you ended apologizing to each other.

"You know, it's funny;" He looked at you confused. "when you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags." You laughed slightly, with tears running down your face even after all the crying you had previously done.

Leo gave your arms a tight sqeeze reasuring you.

"Let's get to the lair and patch you up huh?"

Can I request for Taeyongxreaderrrrr!!!

Like MARRIAGE AU, where Taeyong cheats ? As I’m so into angst and fluff, I’d be so excited for this hehe. Thanks for your pretty works btw <3

Pairing: Taeyong x reader

Genre: marriage!au, cheating, angst

Word Count: 1k

A/N: I saw that you requested jealous ty too. It was kind of hard to pull all of these off realistically within a 1k word limit, so I had to scratch the fluff and went full angst. I'm sorry, I did my best 😭 If you're not satisfied, you're free to request again or a part 2 of course! 💓

“What’s her name?”

The shirt was shaking in your hands, the only contrast to the white fabric being the red lipstick stain that stood out, mocking you in all its glory. The full lips it depicted were seemingly laughing at you, making fun of the wife who hadn’t worn any color in many months.

“WHAT’S HER DAMN NAME, LEE TAEYONG?”

Your light whisper had turned into a scream, filled with pent-up anger that you couldn’t hold back anymore. For a few weeks already, you had suspected that there was something going on. The long overtimes at the office, the secret phone calls, the change in his appearance - you had long assumed, and now you were holding the proof in your hands.

Ever since you had first gotten to know each other, you had never seen your husband so defeated. You wished there was something else mirrored in his eyes, something like regret, sadness, upset. Something that assured you that there was a simple explanation for what you were holding in your hands. But there was none.

Your husband was eventually defeated.

Slumping into a chair, Taeyong ruffled his hair, giving his best to not face you. It wasn’t only the expression of a defeated man, but of a coward too. He hadn’t properly looked at you, his devoted wife, in so long. And even now, he didn’t have the courage to.

“You don’t know her,” he said with a raspy voice. “She’s a new co-worker.”

“And for how long?” You were amazed at your own composure, how rationally you were still thinking. But anger had many layers, and you knew you were currently only scratching on the surface, not knowing what was still coming from below. When he didn’t answer directly, you repeated, “I asked ‘For how long’?”

“A few weeks,” he brought out.

The new haircut, the new clothes, the new cologne, all without touching or paying attention to you even once. You threw the stained shirt into the corner, the light fabric sadly not having the same effect as throwing something with more weight as it only flew against the wall. You pondered over taking the vase from the table and using that instead, anticipating the noise of shatter, but still held yourself back before you stretched out your hand.

“You disgust me so much,” you pressed through gritted teeth. “Pack your bags and get out of here.”

That was when he finally freed his face from his cover and looked at you in utter shock. Ironically, that was a first, and it came with the wrong intention, way too late. Nearly throwing the chair over while he jumped out of his seat, Taeyong moved over to you, taking your hands into his.

“Please know that I love you so mu-”

“Be quiet!” you hissed and pulled away from him. “And never, ever touch me again with your filthy hands!”

“Y/n… I wanted to tell you. Really.”

“And why would that matter?” You nearly laughed at his poor attempt to excuse getting caught, a whole other level of low. “You’ve been doing this for weeks. If you really loved me, you wouldn’t even have considered it in the first place.”

“We might be married, but when was the last time we really felt like a couple?” he tried to defend his behavior. “When was the last time we went on a date? Had sex? Heck, talked properly even? The only thing we do is greet each other unhappily like a routine and then go to bed, each rolling to their own side without even looking at each other twice.”

“And why is that?” you called him out. “How many times have I begged you to finally take a day off? Cooked a romantic dinner? Planned a vacation? You were never up for it! You never showed up or showed effort, your work was always more important, even though you promised it would change! This might be a marriage on the papers, but I was in it all alone, trying to salvage it while you went around, fucking someone else!”

“I never fucked her,” he admitted ruefully. “Did you think that? It were only long talks at the office and… one night where it went little overboard, but I never-”

And did he think it would make matters less worse? It didn’t. If anything, it only proved to you that he had been playing with fire for weeks, and it had only been a matter of time until he would have gone that far if you hadn’t found out before.

When people didn’t want to be with their someone anymore, they found all possible excuses to prolong what was eventually inevitable.

“Don’t worry, I’ll leave myself.”

____

The door to the car opened from the inside. You threw your bag onto the backseat and then crawled into the passenger’s seat. 

“Thank you for picking me up,” you said quietly when you closed the door. “I didn’t know where else to go.”

“I promised that if you call, I’ll come.”

You turned your head aside and smiled at Jaehyun. It was a sad, but relieved smile to finally get out of that apartment as everything reminded you of your cheating husband. One minute longer in there, and you would have burned the entire building down.

A chain of aggressive knocks made you flinch, and you couldn’t believe your eyes as Taeyong’s upset face suddenly appeared on your windowside. You didn’t roll it down, but you still heard him complaining clearly,

“Him? Really? First chance and you run back to him?”

Jaehyun already unbuckled his seat belt, but you held him back by his arm. It was simply not worth it anymore, and he understood with you not having to utter a single word.

“Come back inside, y/n. Let’s talk it out!” Rather than angry, Taeyong’s voice now sounded desperate. He hated Jaehyun to the core, and you were aware of that. “Please, come back to me, don’t go with him!”

“Where to?” Jaehyun asked.

You leaned back into the seat, dismissing the pleas of your still husband.

“Just away from him.”

merlin S1 rewatch: episode 6

it’s been a hot minute! today’s commentary is about episode 1x06, A Remedy to Cure All Ills. which I re-watched more than a month ago actually, but I’ve been busy.

just some random comments and thoughts (as usual), and not an actual review or analysis.

I think this episode is extremely underrated – I loved it the first time I watched it, and I still thoroughly enjoyed it on my rewatch. yes, it’s kind of a filler episode with a very traditional Villain of the Week format – but it's a great villain.

Julian Rhind-Tutt’s performance as Edwin is great and I love a suave, smooth-talking, scheming villain as much as the next person. The way he manipulates people, never suggesting anything outright but playing on people’s fears and biases, only saying just enough to make them reach the conclusion he wants. Something very Richard III about it. Very Iago.

EDWIN: “No… I shan’t say”

Another thing I love about this episode is the rare (unique?) instance of Merlin showing his magic to another sorcerer whom he isn't suspicious of (the audience knows Edwin is the Bad Guy, of course, but at this point Merlin doesn't).

I can’t think of another moment like this in the series. Freya didn’t actually have magic. There is Gilli, but when Merlin reveals his magic to him he already knows of the boy's intention to kill Uther, and it is a last attempt to stop Gilli from committing regicide without putting him in harm’s way. Merlin's relationship with Mordred and the Druids was always complicated by prophecies and by his role as Emrys.

But there’s none of that here. Edwin tells Merlin that magic can be used for good, and that it can be ENJOYED! which is all Merlin ever wanted to hear. And it’s a bit heartbreaking to see the hope on Merlin's face, knowing all that is going to happen later in the series.

I also loved the previous interaction between Merlin and Edwin:

“It can’t explain love”!! He’s a romantic. He loves love 🥺🥺🥺

I think the writers lost sight of Edwin’s motive a bit by the time they got to the ending. He’s not content with just killing Uther, he also wants to… rule the kingdom? And he tells Merlin they can do it together? (a concept revisited in the Cornelius Sigan episode). I don't think it works well.

I think Edwin’s final evil speech would have been way more impactful if he had tried to appeal to Merlin’s empathetic side, instead of his non-existent thirst for power, and reminded him of all the suffering Uther caused and why he deserved to die. I guess that would be a moral dilemma that deserves more than a few minutes of screen time to be resolved satisfactorily, and we’re already at the end of the episode at this point.

The series does dwell on it in To Kill the King, to be fair, but I think the “why not just let Uther die?” dilemma could have been presented before then. (Merlin's momentarily hesitation at healing Uther at the end is more to do with his fear of being seen using magic by Uther than by an actual reluctance to save the king.)

Anyway. I still think this is a very good episode overall, even with its relatively weak ending.

Other random thoughts:

The random-ass reference to alchemy. Something that wasn’t elaborated on, nor ever mentioned again (??) Missed opportunity imo.

Gaius is made "a free man of Camelot", whatever that means. (Does it mean that he, like Merlin, is not from Camelot? Or is it some kind of special privilege? We don’t know. I think maybe in Love at the Time of Dragons Gaius mentions something about he and Alice coming to Camelot but I can’t remember and I can’t be bothered to check now)

Some excellent display of brotherly concern from Arthur when Morgana falls sick. He's the one pushing for Uther to call for Edwin. We love to see it

Merlin and Gaius all but call each other father and son. DON’T TOUCH ME.

Gaius was 100% ready to let Uther die if it meant saving Merlin’s life. btw.

Gaius and Uther. WHAT ARE THEY

All the heavy hints at Gaius’s acting as a Category Traitor in the Great Purge + the only instance of Gaius talking to Kilgharrah (!!!) I am obsessed with it

The paralles between Uther & Gaius and Arthur & Merlin. I feel absolutely normal about it

“Now, open your eyes, My Lord. I want my face to be the last face you ever see.” -> I don’t care if it’s cliched, this line fucks

MERLIN CLAIMS ANOTHER VICTIM, AT LAST!! I was starting to worry but finally my baby is back to killing people :)

[prettyrealm]

i love ur blog fr… one of my least favorite things about the tarot community (not just kpop) is how some people alter or water down their readings (or just aren’t perceptive enough) so that their content is more positive and validating for consumability… and the people who choose to be honest and direct get ate up 😭 divination can be harsh. idk why people are here expecting validation or only positive things. most of these idols are not nice!!

if you want a romantic story and enjoy living in denial, go to ao3!! wattpad or something?? y’all are looking for fanfiction. there are soooo many writing blogs on this site.

and i also have soooo much beef with like, pop culture tarot readings on youtube and tiktok that are clearlyyyyyy not too good in quality, but people eat it up blindly because it tells them things that they like to hear and never anything critical. i have a theory about that being one of the reasons why people assume honest readers have bad intentions or are hating on people. i don’t think people realize just how common it is to read on someone and get the vibe that they’re shitty in some capacity, or not even having to rely on intuition and to be directly told that there is something off about someone. idols aren’t usually any better than the average person, and the average person usually has bad traits. period. some are worse than the average person.

also… i have a problem with how it’s seen as perfectly fine to share the positive traits we’re able to pick up on through tarot, but sharing the negatives is seen as invasive?? like girl either it’s all invasive or none of it lmaooo. you’re okay consuming content that makes you feel like you’d be attractive to someone or reading about what their personality is like, but it’s too much when that same person says that they’d potentially be a bigot or have issues with stuff like anger? that’s when it’s too much??? 😭😭

Thank you so much for stopping by to show love!! I really appreciate your perspective and agree with pretty much everything you’ve said. 🩷

People were shocked by @dreamofmetoday and l’s ideal type readings being so specific and descriptive and we didn’t get why until we tapped in with other peoples readings and realized most are just saying very vague things or just things that EVERYONE is looking for in a partner (for example, kind, sympathetic, loyal) or just things that make it easy to self-insert in general. I think the self-insert aspect is a main reason people put such an emphasis on only focusing on the positive.

I also get asks demanding I tell them how I get such specific and detailed answers when it comes to things like homophobia/race/misogyny whatever, and it’s like, that’s just how it works? Makes me wish more people would get into tarot themselves so they could see.

The “romantic love story” crossover stuff that you mentioned is why I think you’ll often come across readings, and even PACs, on here that are like a wattpad story. like you said, many readers know there’s a large audience for this. For example when it comes to PACs, 3 pile PACs are a very quick and easy way to get followers and likes, but overall don’t exert a lot of energy and limit the amount of people who can actually connect with the PAC but then each pile will be filled with nuance, details and specifics and the reader is able to just say, “take what resonates and leave what doesn’t” to get away with it. How is someone even supposed to know what truly resonates and what doesn’t for a future spouse reading anyway? Not to mention, how can these readers suddenly get so much detail for a random pac and then not in their other readings or personal readings? There’s just a lot of predatory behavior in the tarot community unfortunately (thank you to melody’s anon for helping us label this finally too), and in turn, it creates a huge misunderstanding of what to expect from readings when you know nothing about tarot.

Not saying all 3 pile PACs are bad of course btw, because that would be ridiculous. There are of course situations where the 3 pile format makes sense, but a lot of them on here are just baiting.

In regards to positives being welcomed with open arms and negatives being considered invasive, it’s literally just nonsensical and honestly, a little weird (often the result of fetishization or idolization etc. so to say this under the pretense of high morals is odd… to say the least). I’ve seen people say things like “who are readers to decide what’s a negative?” when that’s literally not the case, it’s not a case of the reader “deciding” anything, I’m literally asking specifically about the negative traits. It makes me wonder what questions other readers are actually asking in the first place to even come to the conclusion that we would assigning these traits ourselves. Or the argument that “humans are multifaceted so we shouldn’t assign them blah blah blah” like… yeah… duh they’re multifaceted, which is why there’s literally a positives section? It just seems like they reach for excuses to defend their main point that the negatives of these men’s personalities just shouldn’t be acknowledged. It almost makes me feel like some people make these blogs to even improve their idols overall image on a smaller scale or have more control of the perception of it.

I really LOVE how you said “it’s either all invasive or none of it is” because that’s something Melody and I talk about together all the time. Their love lives and “kinks” aren’t invasive topics, but everything that could ruin someone’s fantasy about an idol is. In the end, you’re only allowed to post readings that let you daydream about being their best friend, boyfriend or girlfriend with no complications or obstacles I guess lol. Thanks again for sending this ask! It was really cool to unpack this and see that there’s a reader/follower on the same page. 🩷

[my-castles-crumbling]

Hey, so it seems that everyone is coming out to you so I though why not.

I’m not entirely sure if I’m Pansexual or Bi or something else entirely and honestly it’s kinda confusing (I’m female btw). I mean I don’t rly care abt gender but I find myself attracted to females ALOT more. So yeah idk. Maybe gender does make a difference. But then I don’t like the label Bisexual because it implies that you are attracted to males and females only and not people outside of that.

And also when it comes to coming out to people I kinda feel stuck. What do I say? All of my friends know (they’re also queer) but we never really came out to each other we all just kinda were like “hey! that girl looks good” and went along being gay af. But bc we all just knew abt each other we never really talked abt sexualities and stuff.

And on top of that I’m fairly sure my parents wouldn’t be supportive and no one I know irl can relate to that bc all of my friends parents are accepting.

I feel like I’m complaining over nothing. Im sorry 😫😫. But still love yah and hope you have a nice day 🫶

Hi! <3

I actually can relate to this first part SO much (as far as pan versus bi). When you say you don't care about gender, that sounds like pan to me. But then you say you have a preference, so is that still pan? I've wondered that for myself.

Here's what I have realized: Firstly, YOU are the person who decides who you are, so whatever label feels best (or none at all) is totally fine, even if it doesn't match someone else's definition. However, for me, I think it helped to think of sexual attraction as different than romantic attraction.

For example, perhaps you can find yourself sexually attracted to someone regardless of their gender. BUT, romantically, you prefer girls? To me, that would still be pan, but perhaps you are homoromantic (meaning you only enjoy romantic relationships with the same gender).

Or it could be that you could possibly see yourself both sexually attracted to someone regardless of gender and having a romantic relationship with someone regardless of gender- you just are more likely to want those things with girls. That's okay, too, and could still be considered pan! It's okay to have preferences!

To make this more simplistic, if we stick to a gender binary (which we shouldn't, obviously, but let's do it for a second for simplicity's sake)- a traditionally bisexual person is rarely attracted to boys and girls at a 50/50 split. Maybe they like girls 70 percent of the time and boys 30 percent of the time. That doesn't make them any less bisexual. So, the same holds true with pan. Maybe you mostly see yourself with girls, but also think boys are pretty cool, and nonbinary people are sometimes attractive, and agender people can sometimes be cute, etc, etc.

All of this to say, pick whatever label feels good to you (or none at all! I also frequently just say to people that I'm queer.)

As far as coming out, I think some people are under the impression that it has to be a big thing. It only has to be a big thing if you want it to be. It seems like your friends already know that you're not straight. If that's all you want to say, you don't owe them any more of an explanation or a label.

BUT if you want to come out, go ahead! Sounds like they'll be supportive, so remind yourself that they are safe for you and bring it up in a more intentional way. "Hey, I have a crush on this girl, what do you think?" or "Hey, so you know I'm not straight, right? It's cool that we all are so accepting of that stuff." I think you'll find your friends will be receptive, since they're not straight, either.

As far as your parents, that's trickier. It sounds like you still live with them, so coming out to possibly unaccepting people who have control over you can be sticky. If it were me, I would first do a bit of testing. Mention queerness in a hypothetical way or in a "I know someone who..." way. See how they react. If they react positively, you could start dropping hints. If they react negatively, consider the pros and cons to telling them. Is it worth it to come out because you would be sharing your authentic self? If yes, have a plan if things go poorly. Have a support system to talk to and to go to. If you find that it's not worth it, there's no shame in that, either.

But it's important to know you are NOT complaining over nothing. This is tough stuff and it's hard to navigate.

I'm here to talk if you need me! <3

[acosmicblizzard]

Edgar and Reader against a fake friendly

Warnings: None

Story type: General hcs

Pairings/Characters: Edgar Valden - Painter x Gn!Reader, Margaretha Zelle - Female Dancer, Yidhra - Dream Witch, Demi Bourbon - Barmaid

Banner art credit: smol_kia on twitter

(possible ooc, made during school so possibly lower quality then my others works.)

It was a normal friendly match at first, Margaretha and you were decoding while the dream witch Yidhra stood nearby. Spraying back whenever the survivors sprayed at her and emoting back when they emoted at her. She had seen almost everyone that match other then Edgar who had been keeping his distance from the hunter and had been naturally distrustful of the dream witch. He had constantly been trying to whisk you away from everyone else. In reality, he just wanted to spend alone time with you and let the others decode, maybe even paint you due to the time he had In this match.

You and Margaretha talked as you decoded, joking around and laughing at what one another said. The female dancer continued making small discussion with you until suddenly the leaches Yidhra had on both you and Margaretha moved closer. You didn't think much of it until the leach suddenly swung on Margaretha and terror shocked her, the familiar sound of bells signaling the hunter gaining their persona ability ringing all throughout the map. At first you were confused, maybe Yidhra just wanted to hold Margaretha or wanted the points for downing someone? You went to go heal her until Yidhra swapped to the leach that had connected to you and swung on you as well.

You started getting suspicious of the dream witches intentions as both you and Margaretha were leached onto again. Both of the leaches were soon left inactive as Yidhra moved to find the other two survivors with the leaches standing as guards just in case one of you got up. This was the worst time ever to not run self pickup for some extra healing personas, you weren't sure if Margaretha had it either. You heard the familiar voice of your boyfriend shout "stay put I'm coming!" From a small distance away. At least the baron of the manor gave the survivors a form of communication the hunters could not hear, in this realm this form of communication was crucial. Not a second later you heard the voice of Demi shout "The hunter is nearby!" Edgar quickened up his pace and eventually arrived to where both you and Margaretha were downed.

He didn't pay any attention to Margaretha and started healing you first. "Dummy, how could you fall for that! It's Yidhra for gods sake!" Edgar shouted out trying to cover up the concern in his voice with irritation. He was honestly a bit pissed but not exactly at you, it was more directed towards Yidhra. He was irritated and annoyed at the fact this hunter decided to try and act merciful to only backstab people later. He's had to deal with a lot of that all throughout his life due to his status but having it be done to you made his blood boil. He finds it quite pathetic such a powerful god is resorting to this to win matches. He soon got you up and both of you went to heal Margaretha as you heard Demi get downed across the map. You needed to heal quickly and get these leaches removed as soon as possible. A few seconds later the barmaid was chaired as you got Margaretha up. The second you did Yidhra swapped back to one of her leeches and immediately went for Margaretha. You attention snapped back to Edgar as you told him to go save demi as you would focus on ciphers and supporting Margarethas kite when you could.

3 ciphers later and things weren't looking any better, Margaretha died, Demi was kiting for as long as she could on last chair, and Edgar was across the map from you working on a cipher. You were hoping both you and Edgar could get a prime in time for Demi as you typed on the ciphers keys, rapidly trying to decode it. You heard Edgar's cipher pop across the map as you shouted "Priming!" Hoping that Demi wouldn't get downed before you could prime the cipher. That hopeful wish wouldn't come true though, the barmaid was soon chaired and screamed as she got shot into the sky. You sighed and continued working on the cipher, slightly relieved it was almost finished. That relief was cut short though as you heard the sound and red cloud signifying a teleport. You panicked and ran from the cipher shouting that the hunter was nearby you. Edgar quickly responded with stay put I'm coming. The painter ran as fast as he could towards where your cipher was, as much as he wanted to support your kite and whisk you away from danger he couldn't. Minutes passed before you got downed by the dream witch and as soon as you were downed the primed cipher was popped and you were back up on your feet. As long as Edgar was able to get a exit gate open this could be a tie. Edgar soon opened a gate and kept saying follow me, running towards your location with a painting on the ready. 5 minutes of stressful kiting and close calls later you two barely squeaked by with a tie.

After the match ended, Edgar whisked you away to his room. The second the door closed behind the two of you Edgar was all over you, checking for any wounds that sustained after the matches. "I can't believe that woman, a god and she does this?! Simply pathetic!" You sighed and shook your head, "It's alright Ed, the match is over now. Just relax okay?" You put your hand over his as a slight blush came to the painters face. He quickly shook this off though and soon a frown came to his face. "Are you okay though, my muse?" It was rare for Edgar to express his emotions truly through words, mostly hiding his true emotions behind irritation and stubbornness. You smiled at him, "Yes I'm okay Ed,.I promise." A slight smile came to his face as he grasped your hand harder, silently whispering under his breath "that's good.." You two stayed like that for awhile, sitting silently next to each other as time eternally passed by.

being a romance-favourable aromantic is so confusing — and while i know that this isn’t intentional, it’s also hard not to feel alienated from the aro community. it was so much more difficult for me to admit and realise that i’m aro, simply because all of the aro posts and memes i saw were centred around romance repulsed aros.

which isn’t a bad thing, it’s great that many romance repulsed aros have found their way to the community because of that, and i think there are definitely more romance repulsed aros than favourable, and i also think that the world being built around heteronormativity and amanormativity and monogamy is exclusive and i’m glad that people who don’t want those kinds of relationships have a place to talk about it — but i feel so conflicted over it, not being able to relate.

i’m a sex repulsed ace and it’s why i spend much more time in the ace community— because, unintentionally, it’s also very centred around sex repulsed aces (which— to sex indifferent and favourable aces, i promise that we see you — and i’d love suggestions on how to be more inclusive), which i can relate to. i just wish i had a little corner of the aro community that i could do the same w/. i’m romance favourable and also what i think is called a partnering aro (would like a romantic relationship or qpr) and also poly. i just… it’s just, all of those posts that ask ‘how to know if you’re aro? a guide’ and none of them that i’ve seen say anything like ‘you don’t get crushes and you want to be in a romantic relationship’. which definitely isn’t a fault of those posts or anything — i know that most of them are trying to help questioning aros with like, discerning what attraction even is, you know?

i just. i guess that i just feel lovely sometimes. i’m so happy that i’ve found labels and identities that i’m comfortable w/ and they feel like they fit me. it’s just… i don’t think i’ve heard of romance favourable and partnering aros (by that, i’m excluding posts w/ passing mentions or those that simply list the term — this is not a criticism of those kinds of posts, btw), even less have i heard of said aros in romantic relationships and happy. i mean, we definitely need to talk more about romance favourable and indifferent aros and or aces more, but i guess the point of this confession is… i know what i want, but i’m scared that no one will want me, no one will want me as i am.

it’s just— are there any other aros like me out there? who want romantic relationships and can see themselves in them, despite not experiencing romantic attraction? who are in romantic relationships and happy? i’m honestly scared to even ask this, because honestly, it’s scary knowing that you want a traditional sort of ‘happiness’ (a romantic relationship) when you don’t have the feelings that are supposed to accompany that, you know?

#peak meta yaoi

thanks for giving me an excuse to rant haha!

my argument is this: act 6 started at the height of tumblrs interaction with homestuck (after the trolls and cascade popularity spikes). floating m/m fandom immediately jumped onto shipping dirk and jake together, but without substance, they created the fanon “Woobie Coolguy Dirk” and “Dirks Boyfriend, Jake”, literally within hours after introduction (dirk didnt even have a name yet!)

homestucks many things but its always been to a large degree a long running conversation with its fanbase. quadrants is hussies explicit dig on shipping but ive always thought act 6 centring around the relationship dramas of the alphas is the same thing, a jab at the fandom of the time. particularly this new audience, which at the risk of authorial intent debate, hussie was pretty clear in not having much respect for

but always contrary for a joke regardless. you wanted the beta kids interacting more? none of the alphas are ever really on the same page, and have constant difficulties communicating. heres them being trapped in a session for 6 months and hating each other by the end of it. no im not telling you what happened in such a long period of time. you want dirk and jake to be together? your johndave 2.0? a cute relationship? heres the alpha quadrangle, heres them fighting each other about it, heres how long it drags out. heres jake kissing dirks decapitated head. btw, they do date, but their relationship doesnt work, they break up, they talk about how bad it is. anything explicitly romantic between them is never really brought into focus, only danced around somewhere offscreen. dirk and jake dont even talk to the “real” versions of each other

you wanted dirk to be the vulnerable uke? nope, heres his personal arc into the psychology of potential for abuse. you want your fanon jake, dirks sexy and confident boytoy? jake is a portrayed as a pathetic joke character, and is consistently narratively humiliated in a reflection of the expectations for him

dirkjake as a canon entity is self aware. meta “gaybait” - you can have your gay boys, but know it wont work. its a commentary and a dissection of the m/m fandom spectre haunting these characters the fandom projects onto them. and their characters are so perfectly about projection (and reality/story warping...) regardless it all comes together in a neat little bow

That whole thread really highlight how lonely Jason's Robin run was. Honestly it makes me sad how he didn't have many friends back then compare to others. He had Eddie but even then dc forget about them.

i don't really agree with lots of points in this thread, mainly because of tim exceptionalism (or the main character complex, whatever you want to call it) + it assumes that things that happened pretty much only because of jason's death would still occur.

having said so, i do agree that jason's robin run was (in a way) incredibly lonely!

now, personally i don't think that jason noticed it much, but that's part of the problem. i have touched upon it briefly in my other posts about vigilante/civilian identity (look: here, for example), and i think it's worth to make a quick comparison of pre-crisis vs post-crisis jay.

so, tldr, pre-crisis jason is shown to have a whole life at school, he has friends and even a romantic interest. post-crisis jason has none of that. we see him working for an extra credit at school, but if i recall it right (might have been a pre-crisis story retroactively included in canon though) the only time we actually see him *in* school is when he thinks about how he would like to join the theatre but doesn’t have time for that because of robin responsibilities. we don’t see him having any social life outside of robin, but also as a member of the community he doesn’t have anyone close his age. his cameo in titans is very dear to me, and you know, as a person with siblings i will tell you, you can absolutely be friends with your older brother’s friends, but we don’t ever see him developing a lasting bond with any of them (which is also because he died quite soon after that. i’m not saying that donna, for example, didn’t care about him, but i don’t think they had a chance to grow very close).

there's eddie, sure, but even that relationship is that of penpals, and by the time jason comes back from the dead, eddie is completely retconned, so it's safe to assume that in the current continuity they have never known each other at all.

i'm not going to comment on dc trying to sell the concept of roy and jay being childhood friends in n52.

so i’m thinking, you can make an argument about how jason knows little besides vigilantism, but i believe there’s an additional layer to how even his “nightlife” (debatable term btw, we see robin jay operating in daylight along with batman all the time but i guess that was a whole another era) focuses pretty much on bruce and no one else. he really doesn’t know much beyond batman and robin.

and it obviously wasn't really the writers' intention, i bet it's mostly the result of the fact that they weren't really interested in exploring his character much, but jay's world is so very narrow and centres around bruce. and i can see how bruce wouldn't really see any problem in it at first, because (while it's not really canon, as there's a time skip and we don't even get to see how he settles into the manor, nor much of his training period) it is safe to assume that it took some time for jay to gain bruce's trust and to get used to a role of a child (since he was used to fending for himself/presumably being briefly a caretaker for his mother before). so when the kid finally learns that he can depend on bruce and actively seeks him out, that's great. it took so much to coax him into allowing to be cared for, now the issue is solved. (wrong.)

i think it really puts post-resurrection jay's mentality in perspective (even if winick did not intend it this way; he clearly had no interest in jay's 80s characterisation). of course jason's anger, disappointment, and feelings of betrayal focus on bruce; bruce was everything he had. at this stage, he doesn't know much beside him, and being robin.

and i don't think that jason then was quite aware that he was lonely. he had his dad, which was the most important thing for him for a while, he had alfred. dick might not have been home much, but their interactions we got to see were meaningful, and flashbacks (such as the famous ski trip) suggest that they did spend more time together. babs was around. he probably made so many brief connections with gothamites in his time as robin too.

it all becomes a problem when jason grows. when he can't see a line between being a robin and a son, and looks for another parental figure, and he doesn't have anyone to talk to about it. everyone he has a lasting relationship with is part of the family that he worries he doesn't belong to, so he just resolves to find someone new to depend on.

it becomes a problem when he digs himself out of grave, and later comes back to gotham, and there's such a limited number of people he can (or could, if he wanted) turn to.

i also believe that even if the plot of 'a death in the family' never occured, the fact that he went from a hyper-independent parentified child to someone who spends most of his time with his dad or alone (and i don't think he minded alone time all that much at first) would backfire otherwise. i'm joking, but at this point there probably would be some separation anxiety, on both sides.

i just wish i could grip jay with bbq tongs and put him in east gotham to allow him to stay in touch with his community. of course he probably was around there as robin a lot, but as a civilian? i doubt it.

[zhongliologist]

i really hate it when my bosses (male, btw) keep bringing up that i dont have a boyfriend and keep pointing at random dudes for me to date. jesus fckin christ pls leave me alone, im not even worrying about it im tired of smiling and laughing with it,,, its not funny for me,,, i just want to work bc my work is exciting and cool,, just leave it aaloooooneeeeeeeeee and these random dudes think they have a chance with me,,, it pisses me off so much,,,, dont confuse my politeness with actual romantic intentions bc i have none.

Your favourite sonic ship (which I don't actually even know btw?) + Regency Romantic AU?

Aw man I started a draft response to this a couple of days ago and it got deleted.

In response to this post

Unfortunately I am basic and my favourite sonic ship is sonadow. I do love shadamy as well though, I think it would definitely be easier to come up with hcs for them in a regency romance au, but because I want to challenge myself I'm gonna do it with sonadow!

I feel like regency romance aus have a fairly solid narrative structure to them that wouldn't really fit the sonic world (e.g. parents doing match-making when most of them don't really have parents present, homophobia, social hierarchy, age etc) so you're gonna have to pretend none of that matters here.

1. They wouldn't court traditionally, and most people wouldn't even be aware they were courting at all. Neither of them want the attention and speculation, but it does mean that everyone therefore assumes they're both available and hijinks would ensue. It also means they wouldn't be great about just having a conversation about how they both feel, so while they both know the other is courting, there'd be very little actual discussion about it.

2. Shadow hates everything about the season even though he can perform the part well enough (Maria lives AU and she teaches him??). Sonic's not too fond of a lot of it, but he does appreciate some parts (so much food at every ball they attend). They both secretly enjoy being 'forced' into the same social events though, they will always find each other for a break from it all.

3. Sonic gets quite uncomfortable with everyone trying to pair their sons/daughters off with him, and kinda envies that no one really dares approach Shadow to do the same. He does massively enjoy winding him up by threatening to introduce would-be matches to him though.

4. Amy is the first person Sonic tells about his intentions with Shadow. She takes it pretty hard at first (you just know that she'd have a picture perfect fairytale courtship envisioned for her and Sonic) but once she comes to terms with it she's determined to help play match-maker, almost to the detriment of her own season success (Amy and Maria dream team meddlers).

5. Despite point 1, Shadow would be the more traditional of the two of them. He'd try normal courtship at first, just more in private than publically. He'd try the dancing (Sonic can't do any of the formal dancing expected at balls but that's all Shadow knows. They only try it once), the gift-giving (Sonic is allergic to the flowers he chooses), and even tries to get the approval of Sonic's family (cue extremely awkward Tails interaction) but it all seems to go wrong. Sonic would have to be the one to initiate their own courtship, one that works for the both of them.

get a clue !!

pairing: baji keisuke, mikey sano, mitsuya takashi, angry kawata, chifuyu matsuno x gn!reader

genre/wc: fluff, crack (?) - 1.1k+

request: could you do a reader who is the most dense mf on earth. like to the point where someone could be like “ily” and she’d b like “aw that’s so nice! i love you too! you’re such a great friend!”. please do it in headcanon style and they can go in whatever direction you see fit. with baji, mikey, mitsuya, souya, and chifuyu.

a/n: not proofread ily enjoy muah

BAJI:

baji's gonna have a TOUGH time with this one

he got the WHOLE GANG hyping him up to ask you out—chifuyu's all like "you got it bro, just grab y/n's hand all romantically when you confess. and KEEP EYE CONTACT, don't even BLINK BRO."

then smiley's like "that's cringey as fuck! just be chill 'bout it. maybe a cheeky wink though."

and peh-yan's like "or just start making out!"

(he took none of their advice btw) SO he does it baji keisuke style, and tells you one day when you're both walking home together

when he finally builds up the courage, he averts his gaze and awaits your response

... he thinks you're joking at first, when you respond with: "aw, baji! love you too, you're like—my bestest friend."

... huh?

"n-no, i mean like," and he takes one look at your curious, innocent eyes and he literally malfunctions and just shits himself

so when he told the gang, they had no mercy on him: each member literally busted a lung at his failed attempt at confessing

mikey was literally gonna piss himself, peh and pah literally had to hold one another up, and smiley was cackling

so thenceforth, baji tries to throw semi-subtle hints—always complimenting you, opening the door for you, walking next to you, etc.

the thing is, he does these kinds of things everyday anyway, so how are you supposed to tell the difference behind his intentions?

in the end, baji ends up just smack on kissing ur cheek and saying "i want to date you, dammit!" <3

MIKEY:

this guy got the whole gang screaming—why can't their oh so strong leader tell his crush he likes them?

"it's not my fault guys! i don't know how y/n can't tell!!!!" he pouts his 100th pout

and to be honest draken can't believe iteither, not with the way mikey treats you on a daily basis

the constant head pats, always offering to ride with him, lending you his jacket, AND his snacks too ??!! draken is just as confused

mikey just wants to treat u well :((( but he doesn't know how much more obvious he can get LMAO

one day you were hanging out with him and the others, and mikey was walking ahead with his head on your shoulder

he looks up and admires you for a bit, until he decided to be bold and say: "you're so cute, you know that? i would never get bored of looking at you"

baji's eyes literally bulge out, and he immediately tells the others. they're all watching the two of you like a group of stray cats

"oh mikey, you're so sweet. thanks!" then you continue walking as if nothing happened

the stray cats then turn into stray hyenas when they CACKLE at the look on mikey's face

MITSUYA:

mitusya tried really hard to be straight forward with you

but found that increasingly more difficult when you just wouldn't take a hint!

he would do everything he could imagine that was remotely gentleman-ly

you found it very endearing, but honestly though he was just being kind to you, like he always was

so, he was constantly smacked in the face with a "aw thanks mitsu'!" or a "i love you too, you're a great friend."

he was starting to get lost to be honest, and went to draken for help at one point

if anything, draken couldn't help since he's the oblivious one between him and emma LOL

despite how arduous your denseness can be, mitsuya finds it amusing too

he'd let out a small chuckle at your obliviousness, and laugh graciously at the look on your face when he does

you once asked what was wrong, and he only responded with "ah nothing love, you're just so cute."

now that made you think twice <3

ANGRY:

poor boy is gonna start screaming if you don't just kiss him right now i swear

with his slightly closed off nature (i mean, in comparison to his brother, i'd say he's pretty mellow LOL), angry is having some trouble on his own already in making moves

but combined with the density of your head ???? he's rolling on the floor whining 24/7

smiley gets annoyed at one point and tells him to "man UP! y/n's not gonna tell if you chicken out every time you make contact!"

angry, sniffling: "ok ..."

so, cue this: you, and the twins, hanging out together, but the wind picks up and angry notices you start to shiver

his brother, as if he read his mind, signals for him to throw his jacket over yours because it's "extremely romantic"

even smiley is confident that you won't miss this HUGE clue

angry, bubbling as much courage as he can, takes his jacket off and drapes it over you in a hurried manner

he's blushing, and he shoves his hands into his pant pockets to try and stay calm

"keep it for the night, i don't need it okay ?!"

you pause and blink up at him and he thinks he's gonna shit himself, until you smile and simply thank him before dropping the whole situation

smileys like -o-

while angry's like ☉o☉

"... NOW WHAT SMILEY ?!"

"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW !!"

CHIFUYU:

oh oh oh you know chifuyu is pulling out ALL the stops for this one

he knows what he's doing, he's got the best moves in the book to aid him from reading all those shoujo mangas

baji wishes him good luck with a relatively hard smack on the back, and he watches chifuyu saunter off towards you with the suavest energy he's ever seen

tbh baji thinks he looks really fucking stupid but props to him for that confidence i guess ??

you're walking down the hall when chifuyu calls your name, making you turn and wave to him with that smile he oh so adores

"hey y/n! i was wondering if, you know, you'd like to hang out some time after school? maybe head to a cafe, how's that sound to ya'?"

as he's saying this, chifuyu makes sure to keep eye contact with you and pay attention to any facial indicators of a reaction

(baji's hiding behind a wall by the way, but he's keenly listening in)

you're startled by the sudden invitation, but interpret it as no more than a friendly hang out—you tell him:

"sure! we can do some studying and—oh! your friend baji can come along too!"

wait ... baji? what would baji...—oh, you think this is FRIEND hang out

and before chifuyu could disagree, baji's LOUDASS hollers can be heard from his hiding spot

he's absolutely crying over at his friend's semi-successful attempt at getting a date

"i can't believe it," chifuyu wails to baji after school, "how could y/n not tell? i even did the SMOULDER. well, at least i get to somewhat hang out wit—"

baji: "—wait wait wait, did you say you ... you SMOULDERD AT Y/N????"

chifuyu nods, and baji collapses in laughter at his friend for making such an idiotic choice LMFAOOOO

well, too much shoujo manga for him <3

bitterness in goodbye | jjk

this is part of my troubled outsiders series. sadly, you can't read this as a stand alone (meaning: feel free to check the previous parts ♡)

| summary | - You can’t help but feel a little sad when Jungkook doesn’t refrain from cuddling your arm after pleading to forgive him. You wish you could cuddle him instead, that he would lay his head on your chest as you play with his soft hair, but you recognize there are some things you just can’t have.

warnings: none (?) i mean chaeryeong insults jungkook which is an atrocity in itself but-

contents: we diving into the angst my friends. jungkook is an innocent, kind hearted soul, i promise. oc's got the feels (out oct. 1) for jk. idol!jungkook × student!reader.

words: 1.57k

playlist: honey by halsey

Four weeks later, the receptionist of your apartment complex hands you over a cardboard box with the hoodie Jungkook and you had talked about that day on the Han River. Jungkook kept pestering you to please please please send him your address for confidential purposes, which you knew had to do with his determination to literally provide anything that catches your eye right away. You assumed it was a sensitive topic for the boy whether people had purposefully taken advantage of his money before, so you didn’t dare to say anything when the man asked you for your size literally two hours after he dropped you off, scared to either reject his solidare intentions or piss him off for bringing unwanted memories back. In  your defense, your personality type keeps oscillating between INFP and INFJ so it’s only natural that you take extra care to make sure those around you have as much peace of mind as possible in your presence. 

As pretty and comfortable the piece of soft clothing is, an important factor is missing, something that you can’t recreate buying two of the same size and color, and that is Jungkook's escence and how good it looks on him in comparison to anyone else in the world. Meaning, you didn’t like it as much as you thought initially would. And it absolutely did not have to do with the fact that your short stature made you look like a toddler who stole their dad’s jacket.

Still, in order to show Jungkook how much you appreciate his gift, you bring it to work the next day, and the rest of the days after that, with the excuse that with winter rolling around you needed something to keep you warm in the office. Jungkook doesn’t miss the opportunity to confirm your assumptions regarding your appearance whenever he barges into your office randomly throughout the week, arguing that ”you look so adorable” and doesn’t stop for two weeks more, until he gets used to seeing you wearing something you shared with him. Which doesn’t help ease your growing romantic feelings for him whatsoever.

Because yeah, you liked Jeon Jungkook, just like every human being with eyes and sexual desires, except, you didn’t just like him in a superficial way, and that’s where the problem with him resides. Though you are sure everyone has fallen in love with the endearing boy at some point - especially the excluded and invalidated women of society - you can’t help but place some blame on you for allowing yourself to be swooned so goddamn easily. Your mom had said to you at some point to be wary of the way some men would talk to you when you grew up, their intention usually being getting inside your pants, which has happened to you more times than you'd like to admit. And with the argument that she knew you better than anyone, she claimed you would comply right the second someone talked sweet to you; you despised the fact that was the case with Jungkook (and Jungkook only), although he had never shown any sexual innuendos. What your feelings could do to your relationship with Jungkook and your rather chill lifestyle scared you to death, shiver me timbers and all that shit, having romantic feelings for someone else is embarrassing, especially when your chance with them has been scratched out the second you laid eyes on them.

Jungkook sits on your couch, legs spread on your thighs as you two pretend to watch some series on netflix. “I don’t buy for a second the act you’re putting on right now.” he speaks randomly after staring at your deep-in-thought state for a few minutes and laughs when you snap at him for not letting you overthink in peace. “What’s going on?”

Truth is, you don’t fucking know. A few hours before he arrived at your place (you had to pick him up at the dorm and sneak the both of you through the subterranean parking lot, because god forbid someone saw Jungkook arriving at some chick’s dorm on a saturday afternoon) you swore you would be able to conceal whatever emotional turmoil you had going inside of you without compromising your regular behaviour around the man, but when push comes to shove, it’s impossible to keep yourself from wondering how far you could go before that special someone found out what was going on inside of your head.

Jungkook’s phone rings in his pocket with some annoying tone he had downloaded illegally from youtube the same day the company had handed over the device as a gift for him (you still were a little bitter over how they neglected the rest of the staff but you also knew it was kind of impossible for the human kind to just gift a-thousand-dollar-phones to almost five hundred people out of solidarity). “Hyung?” he picks up, still wary of your unusual behaviour, concerned eyes looking at you. “No, uh- i’m with Yugyeom right now.” and your heart shatters into a million pieces.

You have been suspecting for a while that Jungkook is being hesitant to introduce you to his social circle. Although, you’ve tried your best not to take it personal, it is getting harder to resist the urge to ask him what the fuck is up with that. The fact that Jungkook had to lie about the person he was hanging out with broke your ego; he could’ve just said he was with a friend, right? You suddenly feel like you’re fifteen again, when the guy you liked would love you in the dark but pretend he didn’t know you in the light. 

Holding your tears back, you gently push him off and make your way towards the bathroom in the most nonchalant way you could. This is your fault for falling for the nice popular guy in the first place, you remind the reflection staring back at you. Still, as bad as it hurt, there was no way you were going to cry over a stupid boy, let alone when he was literally sat on the next room. He can go fuck himself if he thinks he can just toss this behind as if nothing ever happened.

You text Chaeryeong instead.

“chaery bom bom: i swear to god i gonna throw hands the next time i see the bitch.

chaery bom bom: like who the hell does he think he is? fucking squidward looking asshole.

chaery bom bom: he ain’t even that cute bub, you’ll get over him. i know jinyoung wouldn’t treat you like this”

You sigh. Chaeryeong has been enamored with the idea of you and his former company colleague from GOT7 since the day she met the guy (which was somewhere around ten years ago), and although he was all that, you didn’t like his quiet and cold aura, it intimidated the fuck out of you (Jungkook was the entire opposite of that).

You spray on some perfume just to have an excuse as to why you randomly ran to the bathroom when Jungkook’s inquiring eyes stare as you sit back on the couch, which is exactly what he does. “You done with your call?” you ask, bitter.

Jungkook frowns, a bit taken aback by the sudden question but still unaware of the way his words had made you feel, not even sensing the hostile change in your mood. “Yes, it was one of our managers. He was wondering if I could come back to reshoot some...-thing.”

Okay, now you kind of understand as to why he lied in the first place and to say you feel guilty is an understatement. “I supposed he backed down once you mentioned you were hanging out with Yugyeom.” playfulness makes its appearance on your tone and Jungkook rolls his eyes at you, tongue poking on the inside of his slightly red cheeks.

“Sorry for that” he moves closer and cuddles your arm, like a sad guilty puppy. “It’s just- I don’t want them asking questions''.

You understand. He is a very reserved and private person after all. It took you a bit to crack him open yourself. Plus, you kind of share that trait with him, you’d hate it too if people were constantly on your nerves for the people you decide to hang out with. 

And that’s all it takes to forgive him. Not very cash money of you.

“You better not pull that shit again, though” you shift in his hold and he looks up at you. One look into your eyes and he knows what you mean. “I’ll kick you out.”

After nodding, Jungkook resumes his concentration on the series you picked out for him. Due to your short attention span, you are very picky about what you invest your time in, especifically with audiovisual pieces of media, so Jungkook trusts you whenever you recommend something on very rare occasions. As a matter of fact, Jungkook was busy attacking your kitchen counters for snacks (which you didn’t have) when you mentioned Money Heist. “Munch on some grapes instead” you suggested to soothe his disappointment.

You can’t help but feel a little sad when Jungkook doesn’t refrain from cuddling your arm after pleading to forgive him. You wish you could cuddle him instead, that he would lay his head on your chest as you play with his soft hair, but you recognize there are some things you just can’t have.

p1h's hyung line when they're crushing.

genre: fluff

warnings: none

theo

theo thinks he's being subtle around you

but he's actually being quite obvious 😳

awkward asf

"hey, theo. it's so nice and warm outside today. i love sunny days."

"thanks, you too!" 🤡

kinda a hopeless romantic

whenever you catch him staring at you, he quickly looks away

honestly, theo wouldn't ask you out until one of his friends (probably keeho tbh) threatens to ask you out first

"you know what, theo? y/n IS kinda cute,, i just might ask them out next week, since they seem to be single-"

but no matter how shy theo was around you,

he could NEVER let someone else snatch you away first >:(

so he asks you out way before keeho can even finish his sentence

keeho

keeho wouldn't even bother keeping his crush on you a secret

in fact, he's proud of it skfjskfk

tries to impress you with his sense of humor

which works btw

constantly goes out of his way to talk to you

teases you all the time just to get a reaction

for example,

keeho always steals your phone when you aren't looking and takes like 1592 selfies

you won't even notice until a few days later when you realize a chunk of your storage has decreased

uses cringey pick up lines on you 🙄

"are you my appendix? because i have a funny feeling in my stomach that makes me feel like i should take you out."

"are you asking me out, keeho??"

smooth mf

jiung

jiung would take a cautious approach around his crush

he wouldn't wanna overstep any boundaries and make you uncomfortable

drops subtle hints that he likes you more than a friend

such as mirroring your body language

listens intently to everything you have to say

he genuinely wants to get to know you better

jiung also offers to help you with your assignments because he wants to see you succeed

but for the most part,

it's just an excuse to spend more time with you

ngl you probably have to make the first move on jiung

"jiung, do you wanna grab some lunch after class ends?"

"sure! who else is coming?"

"no, i meant just us."

"oh?? like a date?" 😳

"yes."

"i'd like that a lot." 🥺
