#ALSO can we please get more Ravi I love that dude

[callanee]

I'm not gonna lie, I still kinda feel shocked that we actually get to see Buck as a queer man on screen. I never thought we were actually gonna get that, just wistful thinking. We already had Hen and Karen (amazing) and Josh, and this isn't a - capital Q- Queer show, they're not gonna do that. I don't really know how to articulate this all the way yet, but it's a really good feeling.

ABC is treating us well, and I'm so excited to see what the writers and crew have planned for us.

AO3 Kinktober Masterlist

Originally you had no intention of going to the Nighthaven Halloween party. It wasn't compulsory in any way and you preferred to spend your night back in your room on your laptop. However, it seemed like life had different plans for you. A knock at your door had you pause and slowly make your way over. When you opened the door you were met face to face with one of your closest coworkers and friends. Ravi gave you a big grin and dragged you out of the room. "Hey, what the hell Ravi what the fuck are you doing."

"You’re coming with me, the office party's on tonight remember?"

"Yeah, and I'm not fucking going."

"You are now!" He pulled you down the hallway much to your displeasure. 

"No- I- it's a costume party, right? I don't even have a costume."

"There's a costume pop-up store just down the road."

"Nooooo." You tugged away from him and he paused and turned towards you. 

"I'll buy you dinner sometime. We can go out, maybe as a group. There's that yakiniku place down the road that I'll take you to."

"Why do you want to go all of a sudden?" You huffed. 

Ravi paused and looked over his shoulder for a moment. "I overheard that Anja's going to be there and I really want to see if she dresses up or not and I don't wanna be stuck there alone if things go poorly."

"Since when did you have a crush on Anja? Also are you sure? That woman is addicted to her work I doubt she would stop and do something like this."

"What? No, I don't have a crush on her. I just think if anyone's going to have a cool costume it's going to be her. I can imagine it now, a massive mech suit or-"

"God dude she's not gonna put that much time and effort into a costume. She's going to be like the boss lady like had a pair of ears on or something."

"She might! You never know, please please please please-"

"Alright alright, but your picking and buying the costume and no slutty medical outfits. That's too clique."

"Thanks."

-

The pair of you found your way into the repurposed room and your eyes immediately went to the large table of food on the other side of the room. If there was one thing that Nighthaven always did well it was supply good food. 

"Damn." You looked up at the sound of Ravi's voice. His eyes were set on Anja across the room. She wore what looked to be a thin spacesuit with a red wig. 

"Huh. Well, it was more effort than I originally gave her credit for."

"I wanted to see a real-life mecha."

"Well, that's the character from that movie she likes so much right? With the robots? Maybe she made a remote-controlled robot that was too big to fit in the-" Ravi had already headed over towards the woman before you had time to finish your sense. He turned around and gave you a love heart with his hands and a pair of thumbs up. 

You couldn't help but roll your eyes and smile at him. That food table becomes you over and soon you were digging into the shrimp. "Hey, we match! If you wanted to do a couple's costume you could have just asked." A voice practically shouted in your ear. 

With half a piece of shrimp hanging out of your mouth, you turned to see one of the boys from accounting. Jeffrey. Your eyes cast down to see he wore a wizard outfit. The outfit was certainly high quality and you highly doubt he used it purely for this occasion. 

"Ravi picked this out, to be honest." You gestured to the black witch dress that you wore. 

"Oh yeah, what did he go as? A flying monkey?" Jeff laughed and you could feel your hunger to shrimp slowly fade into despair. 

You looked to see Ravi engaged in a conversation with Anja and you mentally swore. Jeff wasn't a terrible guy but you did not want to spend the next hour listening to him talk at you.

"Oh, nice shrimp." Your head turned to the voice that had crept up on you. Håvard leaned over to take some from the bowl when his eye raised to meet yours. He seemed a little surprised to see you but his lips curled up into a smile regardless. 

"Hey look at you getting all festive. We have got to take a picture." Håvard was completely shirtless save for the pair of suspenders that were attached to his pants. The firefighter hat was what gave away his costume. 

"Firefighter?" You raised a brow and he grinned. 

"Yeah! I'll put out any flames that start to melt you. Oh wait-" Håvard rest an arm around your shoulder and for most people, you would have shoved it off, in fact, on a normal day you would certainly shove his arm away. But you didn't. It was almost comforting, he radiated warmth that came through the thin black material. 

"Waters supposed to melt witches," Jeff spoke up with a flare directed at Håvard. "How do you not know this? It's like the most basic known thing."

"He just got it mixed up, Håvard's fine." Jeffrey suddenly looked towards you a little stunned. Almost like he didn't expect you to speak up. 

"I didn't realize how close you and Ace are." His voice was strange, stoic but not quite. 

"Yeah, we have been friends for ages! She acts like she hates me but she lovvesss me." Håvsrd grinned. At first, your original instinct was to correct him and say you did hate him but you couldn't quite bring yourself to. After that day together in the cupboard things had been different. You said to forget about your quickie but in reality, it constantly echoed in your mind. A ghost of his voice in your air, that warmth he brought to your core. Håvard seemed shallow and quite a bit like a moron at first but you knew that to be false. 

He was qualified and did his job well even if it all was for selfish gain and attention. Håvard was smart in his own way, even if he didn't always show it. "Yeah, we are." You finally spoke up and Håvard practically glowed at your words, the arm around your shoulder got a little tighter.

Jeff's eyes darted from you to Håvard and for a moment you could tell he wasn't sure what to say. In his moment of silence, Håvard leaned over you slightly to grab a piece of shrimp which he promptly slipped in his mouth. 

"This is really good." He pointed and you couldn't help but laugh. 

"It is." 

"We have got to get a photo at the booth." His eyes spotted the set-up arch of balloons and Halloween decorations. He removed his arm from your shoulder and grabbed your hand instead. 

Håvard dragged you away from the table and Jeffery directly to the booth. "Håvard I don't want any pictures of me online."

"Uh-huh."

"No I really mean it-"

He stopped and turned directly towards you with a warm smile. 

"Relax, I'm a man of my word. I never mentioned the event that shall not be mentioned did I?" 

"You're mentioning it now."

"No, I'm not." He started to put you along again and you could tell he was pleased that there wasn't a crowd. 

A photographer there stood behind a rather expensive-looking camera and smiled at the pair of you. Håvard was quick to arrange your bodies for a couple of photos but paused. Going by his lead, you stopped when his eyes locked with yours. 

"How do we get the photos?" Håvard asked the photographer without turning away from you. 

"I give you this card which has a code on it. You put it into our website and your photos will be there."

"Right." Håvard barely finished saying the word before he leaned in and pressed his lips against yours. You completely froze. That echo of his lips were finally against yours again. To say you melted into his would be an understatement. Your arms wrapped around his neck and pulled him flush against yours. The brief flash alerted you to the camera and Håvard reluctantly pulled back. 

He laughed and wrapped his arm around your shoulder once again. He stole the curved black hat from your head and put it over his with a grin. The photographer took a final picture before he passed the card to the pair of you. There was a tired look in his eyes but smiled at the pair of you regardless. 

"I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty surprised you came," Håvard admitted. 

"Ravi wanted to see the costumes and didn't want to go alone." The pair of you weaved through the crowd.

"But you were with Jeff?"

"Yeah, Ravi went to go chat with Anja. Thanks for rescuing me from Jeff, thought I would be stuck there while he talked at me for an hour."

Håvard warmly laughed and his face lit up. "I'll be your hero any day."

"Well, can you be my hero and save me from this office party?"

"Yeah." He looked towards you and locked eyes. "I can." There was a promise in his eyes that took your breath away for just a moment. At that moment you understood. You understood that charisma of his that got him so far in life. That look alone made you understand why so many people flocked to his social media. 

The pair of you moved like a blur and soon you found yourself out in the hallway away from the mundane party. Alone in the hallway he took a few steps away from you and threw his hands into the air. "Safety!" 

Your hat fell from his head and to the ground due to the movement. You approached him and when he picked it off the ground, your hand layered on top of his. Your eyes met his and you slowly directed him to put it on your head over again. 

"I don't hate you." Unlike the first kiss you shared, this one was slow careful and for the first time initiated by you. Just like that kiss you shared at the booth, you melted into his arms with ease. 

"I want to tell the world." He breathed the second you parted. Håvard paused and swallowed. "Or at least, I want to mention this again."

"I think I can agree with that." 

His soft lips met yours again and your smile was mirrored against yours. Håvard had such a warm essence to him and your heart raced inside of you. 

"Seems you put a spell on me." He dramatically winked which made you tilt your head back and laugh. 

"That's so bad Håvard."

"Is that why you’re smiling and laughing?" 

At his observation, you covered your mouth with your hand and shook your head. "Don't hide from me please, that smiles like the sun after a nightmare of darkness in the winter." 

"...So bad."

"Ah in that case-" There was a twinkle to his eyes. "Allow me to make it up to you then, save you from this place."

"Alright firefighter Haugland, save me from this burning building." He promptly pulled you along through the hallways and buildings until you found yourself pressed against his dorm room door. He managed to fumble it open while his mouth had latched on to the exposed part of your chest. 

He picked you up by the underback of your thighs and carried you over to the bed all while the wet sounds of him kissing your cleavage. When his legs hit the bed, he allowed you to fall into it and bound slightly from the impact. Your hat fell off immediately and you sat up. You pushed him away from you slightly and he took a couple of steps back. Håvard wasn't exactly sure what you were doing, but he didn't mind watching you to find out. 

Eyes locked on his, you pulled down the front of your dress with your bra and your breasts spilled out from his. His jaw practically dropped and drooled at the sight of you playing with them. Circling your nipples and pressing them together. 

Your eyes flicked down to the tent that had from in his pants. He didn't protest in any manner when you let go of your tits and worked his pants open. The belt fell to the floor and soon the rest of his pants and briefs joined it. 

That curved cock of his bounced free and you pulled it closer to you. When the long underside of it touched your cleavage, you let go and grabbed your breasts. You sandwiched his length between them and spoke innocently at him with a devious smile. 

"Your reward sir for rescuing me." 

Håvard bit down on his knuckle and let out a loud groan at the sight. A groan which turned to a massive moan when you started to massage your breasts up and down over his cock. 

"F-fuck. Oh fuck, just, oh fuck yes please." He started to thrust his hips back and forward so that his dick fucked into your breasts with your movements. Careful not to hit your chin, he lost himself in the sight and feeling. Completely unable to tear his eyes away from you. 

"I see these in my dreams I swear." He moaned and put his hands next to yours. You allowed him to take hold of them fully and your hands dropped to steady on his thighs. "So delicious." It was like he couldn't exactly decide on what he wanted to do. 

Håvard finally decided and picked you up and placed you back on the bed. His leaking cock had precum spread all over it and you raised your dress up. It bunch around your waist with the top and he pulled your underwear to the side. 

Håvard pushed in with a long easy push, his body layered on top of you and he buried his face in your chest. A laugh turned moan when you felt hip palm your breasts as he started a steady rhythm of fucking into you. 

This time it was different. There wasn't that sense of desperation or a bravo of annoyance. This time you couldn't help the smile that had been burnt on your face, you couldn't help but bury your hands in his hair and as he brought pleasure to your very core you couldn't help but dawn on your thoughts of the man. You were falling in love with him. This annoying, one-dimension, attention-loving flirt. You were falling in love with him. 

And it wasn't the sex talking either. 

"Håvard." He didn't register you saying his name and you tugged on his hair and repeated his name again. 

A little drunk on you, he blinked a few times but gave you a dopey look when he raised from in between your breasts. 

"Mmm yeah?" He stilled his hips and composed himself a little. 

"I want you."

"You certainly have me." 

"No I mean, I want you all to myself. I wanna be with you. Like more than just a fun fuck." 

Håvard blinked a couple of times as he registered your words. Suddenly he grabbed you and rolled the pair of you so that you were on top and he was on the bed. 

Words left you as he started practically railing into you. "Håvard." His name came out as a long choppy whine on your lips.

Small chants of his name continued to flow out of your mouth as you clenched down around him and he fucked you through your high. He didn't stop though, even as your tight chest had you gasping for air he continued on. Håvard chased his pleasure until finally, he buried himself deep inside you. 

Ropes of his hot seed filled your cunt to the very brim only to escape around the back of his cock where he couldn't quite keep you entirely plugged up. 

"What…the fuck was that?" You panted and ran a hand through your hair. 

A blush settled over Håvards face and you didn't know if it was because of the pure heat that the pair of you had created or because he was embarrassed in a way. 

"Celebration. First time with my new girlfriend." He grinned his perfect smile at you and your brows raised. "That's what you wanted right?"

"Yeah- I, yeah that's what I want."

[chaoticornot]

I am nervous about them getting hurt, but I know that if it happens, it won't be Buck and Eddie. That sounds really mean, but they've been through it with the physical injuries. 

Yes, to the Hen/ Chim friendship. I am already loving every minute of it. Go, team. Buck's correction after Eddie's look is fantastic. Like we both have shitty parents, whoop. Buck looks so loving in this scene. It's how he is looking at Eddie. I love that he already has a backup plan ready, typical Eddie. 

That is so Bobby, and it is so dad like to have a sticky note with the password. I love this duo, and they match each other so well. Chim is panicking, and Hen is as cool as a cucumber. I need more Ravi. Chim is right. 

Eddie and Pepa, and Abuela as a united front. I love this. I love that Eddie has them. That sounded condescending coming from Ramon. Detective and Detective Wilson. I am starting to get scared about Buck being involved, he should have been looking after Chris. Taylor is not going to keep this off the books, and that is how Jonah is going to find out they suspect him and attack them. Buck knows that she is going to talk. He looks so soft, though. I think this will be the thing that breaks them up. 

Yes, Eddie, let it out. Stupid Ramon, why have him have a heart attack? If Eddie is going to forgive him because he had a heart attack, I am going to scream. So it wasn't a heart attack, good. Dramatic bitch. They believe them thank god. Dammit Taylor. Poor Buck, this is going to be the breakup.

My dude, you blew it the moment you said Eddie wasn't a good father to Christopher, and I hope that Eddie never forgives you for it. I don't believe a word that is coming from your mouth.

Jonah better die. If something happens to Karen, I will riot. Not Chim and Jee-Yun. Dammit. Omg. Karen, please, for the love of everything, call the police. Oh, thank god. Maddie and Jee-Yun weren't there yet. Yes, Maddie. This is giving me a heart attack. Yes Chim, good job. Fuck. Great teamwork, guys. I have a headache.  Everyone is okay, we are good. Can you imagine the phone call Buck has to give Eddie after all of this? Yes, Bobby. Good job, I hate it when Owen does it, but both of you had good reason for it in these episodes. Bobby's panic at seeing his family hurt. He is mad. I do need more uncle buck and Jee time. They are ride or die, and I love it. I love their friendship. They are so cute and are going to make me cry. 

I loved this episode. But one thing I would have liked to see more of is Eddie in Texas. Because that is such an important place for him with a lot of conflicted feelings. I don't like how Eddie forgave his dad or his mom for that matter. Because to be very honest, I think that they still think Eddie is a bad father. Also, there should have been more conversation. Finding Ramon has a condition took the focus of that. I do love that they made Eddie vulnerable in that chat, but for me, that wasn't enough. A lot of Eddie's trauma is rooted in his childhood, and that should have been addressed more. This is why I don't think it was a good idea to bring Chris, but I am disappointed that we didn't see him more. The rest of the episode was great.

I won't be able to see the finale until at least Saturday but maybe even Sunday or Monday because I am so busy.

[silentxxsoul]

HE’S IN THE ROOM REACTION DUMP

Buckley's back together omggggggggggggg I love it

I hate it. Get back together now pls I need good in my life from this damn wee woo show

(but also like it makes sense considering how long they were apart and how they've individually grown and need to re-evaluate who they are before falling back into a relationship)

Also I fucking hate the apology being off screen, because hello lazy writing but clearly on par with KR's decision making

Wow, Hen wasted no time in dropping the tea on Buck and Lucy to the one dude who can't keep a secret. Can't imagine how well that plays out

Seeing Lucy in this rescue just reaffirms they are capable of writing a competent character but still chose to go the cheating and prop for male lead drama route. Granted my opinion is based on the a) shitty choice in the 5B premier and b) the terrible TERRIBLE post-mortem interviews with the 'poking' and 'flirting' to make me think they're going for the cliche sexual tension with two hot het people *shrug*

I should know better to expect more out of fox but here we are

EDDIE BBY IN THERAPY BEFORE THE BREAKDOWN ?!

THERAPY CAUSE THE BREAKDOWN ?!

FANFICS WIN AGAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Yes Eddie talk to Buck about what you've been through...

Buck babe keep the couch because it'll be your new home before the ep is over methinks

Chim and Ravi

Sassy Bobby offended about the Sushi lmao I love it

GIVE ME MORE RAVI DAMN IT

UNCLE BUCK I'M CRYING

Buck, we know you didn't ask her for the right reasons now we just need you to know

Maddie get his asssssssssssss pls

Honestly poor Jonah, he's been a cool dude so far and I'm low key kinda sad he's leaving so soon

Fucking spider time god no I'm out uckkkk

I'm so fucking crawly just LISTENING oh my god why does this have to be on my screen

Its like the damn snake in S1 hard pass

Can we just go back to Eddie please? For my sanity and general wellbeing?

I do find it weird that they've got Buck so separate after the initial rescue. Maybe he took time off to help Taylor move in???

Bobby I'm fast walking away too holy christ on a cracker talk about a jump scare that I KNEW was coming no thank you

This divorce arc is killing me yall

Wait, he's doing it now? While she's like 1/4 unpacked ?

Oh no oh wow did not see that coming

Yall this is rough because she's smart enough to connect the dots--oh yup here we are.

"not entirely" oh big oof bud, biiiiig big oof

"Of course, I don't have anywhere to go. You made sure of that." Hitting me in the soul, like Buck how did you not see how shitty this whole thing was???

(I hate the writers and the show runners for this, like it was so unnecessary and we could have had a way better breakup arc)

You know, the most unrealistic thing in this whole ep is them saying she dumped $12 of premium on him when clearly that was $150 premium unleaded

So the more this episode goes on the more I'm realizing the god damn breakdown is going to be the last fuckin bit and we're probably going to see all of 1 minute of it before it cuts to the promo for 5.14. I'm preemptively annoyed lol

I keep thinking about the BTS of later in the season being in Buck's loft, so assuming BT breakup that means he stays in the loft and she's just... left out to dry. Like, how shitty. Regardless of if you like Taylor or not, no one deserves this kind of end to a relationship and (on my soap box, sorry) again this could have been avoided if the writers and show runners gave the bare minimum when it comes to caring about character development and canonical decisions.

OH SHIT THAT'S THE BREAKING POINT

THAT--EDDIE LISTENING--TO HER?!?! OH NOOOOOO

10/10 DID NOT SEE THAT COMING

I'm so fucking nervous yall

I'm so grateful for the Maddie and Albert friendship ♥♥♥

We have less than 10 minutes for the breakdown, meaning I'm right about it being the last bit and I hate ittttttttttttttttttttt

That deserves to be an entire episode on it's own tbh and I wish we got it

Them pushing the breakdown like this is such a cock tease and I hate them.

JESUS H CHRIST BREAK THE FUCK UP ALREADY NOTHING ABOUT THIS RELATIONSHIP IS HEALTHY OR GOOD

I'm glad for that closure scene with Maddie and Jee

So he's calling an old army buddy? Interesting

Oh lord Chris really is going to find him, huh oh no

The fanfics did not prepare me for this

Oh my god nooooooooooo she's died too, didn't she oh no

Oh fuck my life how are they shoving this at the end like this I need an entire episode of this arc please

They all died ?????????????????

Holy God alive Ryan killed that I'm deceased, heart broken, sobbing mess

7/10, the breakdown saved this. Would be higher if we got more of the Eddie/Buck or even Buck/Chris interaction.

How do they keep stringing along the BT relationship like this? Especially after Arielle hinted at 'poking' and 'flirting' like, seriously? So you've got a dude who knows how shitty he was and barely kept his relationship (and babe I'd be gone so fucking fast, even if it meant living in my car because the guy who supposedly loves me only partially asked me to move in because he felt guilty about kissing a 'rando' -spoiler alert not a rando- at a bar) and promised no more lies and they're what, going to keep fucking around??? Emotional cheating is just as bad as physically cheating.

I cannot express to you how much I don't want that on my screen, like even a little bit. Especially if BT is still a thing.

They've fumbled this BT relationship so catastrophically (not even touching how they watered down the Taylor character after they got together) that it's not even funny, just really sad because at the end of the day all of this was for naught and they're more than likely going to stick with the same tired trope of two attractive het people can't stop making sex eyes at each other because that's what attractive co-workers do. Man I hope I'm dead wrong, but I've got a gut feeling this stupid ass drama is only just beginning.

[mewtonian-physics]

my ranking of the alex rider original series (stormbreaker through scorpia rising) from ‘book i least enjoy rereading’ to ‘book i most enjoy rereading’ let’s goooo

spoilers for all 9 books under the cut

9. Ark Angel

...He went to space. He went to space. Also the entire plot could have been avoided if Drevin had actually bothered to provide a photograph of his son. I’m sure he had one. I still like this book but it’s literally so insane that I just don’t know what to do with it. 

It is however really funny that Webber just goes and gives a speech insulting this super high-profile ecoterrorist group and acts like it’s no big deal and then they kill him. Shock of shocks.

8. Skeleton Key

Okay, points to this book for terrifying the shit out of me. God damn it does that shark scene scare me. Also, points for making me feel a little bit bad for a man who wants to nuke his own country because he thinks it will fix the place up. I’m still not entirely sure how that’s supposed to work, but that’s probably a good thing. I feel like understanding his thought process would say bad things about me. Still, I actually did feel sorry for him, if only a little. Dude was clearly mentally unstable and I doubt his son’s death helped at all. I also got sad about what happened to Carver and Troy. (Yeah, yeah, I’m a cringe fail American who has the American release. So sue me.) What a nightmare that must’ve been to endure... Otherwise, though, I’m not super into this book. The opening is just kind of meh and the way it leads into the rest of the plot seems a little bit unbelievable. Also, this might be an unpopular opinion, but Sabina annoys me. I would not get along with her at all and I can’t imagine her as a girlfriend. Skeleton Key does, however, absolutely excel at the emotional scenes. 

Also, why are all the spy agencies so comfortable with sending in a 14-year-old? Especially when they outright admit that the other attempts have all died horribly? Bureaucracy’s a bitch.

7. Point Blank

Boo, Dr. Grief! Boo! We hate your white supremacy! I’m so glad you got a snowmobile to the face, you deserved it. (Perks of books written by Jewish people--we aren’t afraid to give the neo-Nazis an unpleasant death.) Anyway, this book definitely isn’t bad, but I wouldn’t really say it stands out in the series. It definitely does hammer home the point of just how trapped Alex is, since MI6 isn’t going to just let him go after one mission, and let’s face it, the plot with the clones is creepy as hell, if highly improbable. But I’m largely just here to see the neo-Nazi get snowmobiled. That’s right, I just completely changed the definition of a pre-established word. I’m a rebel.

Also, I hate Fiona Friend so much and overall think she just didn’t need to be in the book, but the line about ‘I’d rather kiss the horse’ made me laugh so hard. Alex, you sass.

6. Snakehead

Okay, let’s talk about how genius the plan in this book is. I love it! I love how Yu wants to kill the people involved in the peace conference without making them into martyrs, so he comes up with this whole elaborate plan to stage a natural disaster. It’s incredible. This dude was thinking so far ahead. And he would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for that meddling kid... But anyway, I don’t see a lot of books where the villain really acknowledges that killing their enemies could just cause more problems for them via turning them into martyrs for a cause. Also, the way he’s so polite and soft-spoken while also being a complete monster... This book genuinely gives me chills. Extra bonus points for the part in the hospital, the absolute nightmare of having all your organs slowly removed and sold off and everyone around you is being so nice about it? ‘Oh, don’t worry, Alex, it won’t be so bad. Here, take your medicine. Do you need anything?’ Literally just. What the fuck. 

Also Ash can fucking fight me. You put your own godson in horrible danger on purpose! You killed your best friend! Bastard. 

...And just in case the book wasn’t disturbing enough, Yu’s fate at the end lives in my mind rent-free and I think about it on a concerningly regular basis considering that the chances of that happening to me are so low they’re practically in the negatives. Damn you, Horowitz.

I would also be remiss if I did not mention just how much I love the tagline ‘once bitten, twice spy’.

5. Crocodile Tears

Ah yes, the book that kickstarted my drift away from the church... I kid, of course. I drifted away from the church for completely separate reasons. But Desmond McCain is always going to scare the shit out of me. The ability to kill countless innocent people while blissfully quoting Bible verses (that he takes wildly out of context and uses for his own self-serving means) is... well, I could actually say a lot about what that reminds me of, but I’m here to rate books, not religion. Moving on. This book has some really stellar antagonists, and the plot is chilling in a way that feels a lot more realistic than most of the other books. Even if some of it is a bit farfetched (sabotaging a nuclear power plant? Really?), the idea of using disasters for your own profit... well. I’m sure I don’t need to elaborate on why that is so believable. The Poison Dome is also a really cool and chilling scene--even Alex, who has the luck of the devil, can’t get out of that one unscathed. Further scares come in with the fate of Harold Bulman--imagine having your entire existence wiped and your identity changed while you were asleep! The breakdown he has over it is almost enough to make me feel sorry for him, even though he was ready to exploit a teenager and make his life a living hell just to turn a profit. Note the word almost.

Also. The opening makes me cry. Specifically the line talking about how Ravi’s kids would ‘never meet Mickey Mouse’. I lose my goddamn mind every single time I read it. That little personal touch turns the scene from a statistic to a tragedy. Once again: Damn you, Horowitz.

4. Stormbreaker

Yeah, this one gets the special cover shot. And why not? What we are looking at here is the birth of a legend. Move the fuck over, James Bond, Alex Rider is on the scene now. Anyway, yeah, this book is pretty damn spectacular. It has its stumbles, but as the first book in a series, that’s to be expected. Still, it pulls you in from quite literally the first line and keeps you going right up until the end. (If you came here from my post of memes, you know how much the line ‘Killing is for grownups, and you’re still a child’ destroys me.) It has the debut of much-beloved characters such as, of course, Alex--but also Jack Starbright, and of course, the best MI6 agent of them all, which is to say Smithers. Hell, even Yassen Gregorovich, especially once you get through Russian Roulette... Man, that was a rough one. 

Seriously, though. This is a really good book. The scene with the Portuguese man-o’-war still gives me the chills to think about. (Have you ever looked up pictures of those things? They’re beautiful, but holy shit will they make you regret being born. Nature is funny like that.) 

We also get the introduction of, of course, Alex’s patented sass (his response to Sayle saying he relates to the man-o’-war is HILARIOUS) and we get the inherent humor of Alex screwing up an alias one time and then just going by Alex for the rest of the series so he doesn’t do that again. Really, kid, I know you’re not a trained spy or anything but did you never play pretend growing up? Ever? You can’t pretend your name is Felix for a little while? That sounds like a you problem.

3. Scorpia Rising

I distinctly remember when this book came out, actually. I was on vacation at the time, and I remember my brother annoying the hell out of the poor workers at a bookstore we frequented there to see if/when they were going to get it in. They did, finally, and we bought it immediately, and I was of course absolutely desperate to read it. He got to read it first, though. -_-

This is a great book, an absolute emotional rollercoaster all the way through. The way Blunt tricks Alex back into service by staging a shooting was exactly the kind of cold, brutal behavior I’d expect from him. Seeing Julius come back was shocking, but very exciting, too. And Razim makes an incredibly chilling villain, with his absolute disregard for human life and his desire to measure pain. Also, seeing Smithers’s house was so much fun. Smithers in this book was just really fun in general, but he’s really fun in every book, so... nothing unusual there. But also, I want an unwelcome mat. Please?

2. Eagle Strike

‘But Penny,’ you might ask, ‘why is this book so high on your list? It has so much of Sabina in it, and you said she annoys you.’ That is true. What does not annoy me, however, is basically the entire rest of the book. I love the tense opening, and then reading through Alex’s real-life ‘playthrough’ of Feathered Serpent is still one of my favorite scenes. Cray is absolutely incredible as a villain, with the way that he truly believes in his cause--which is undoubtedly a good one! Yet the extremes to which he will go for that cause, and the fact that he very nearly succeeds, are what elevate him to one of the most dangerous villains in the series. That scene with Charlie Roper and the nickels is something I can never seem to stop thinking about. Actually, I think about it basically whenever I think about large amounts of money paid in small increments... 

Also, I really enjoy how he gets into the whole plot in the first place, and I really enjoy Smithers saying ‘ah, fuck it’ and helping him out anyway. Go, Smithers. You once again prove me right in saying that you’re the coolest adult in MI6.

The revelation that Yassen knew Alex’s father is one that absolutely blew my mind first time around. The way his life was threaded into the lives of the Rider family--he worked with John Rider, was saved by him, killed Ian Rider, and then died for refusing to kill Alex Rider--wow. Wow. It gets to me. It really gets to me. This book is a masterpiece. I heard that it’s going to be what the second season of the TV series is based off of, and I’m so hyped for that. We love to see it, we really do.

1. Scorpia

I don’t believe anyone who says this book didn’t get to them at all. I just think they are lying. I don’t think it’s humanly possible to not be affected by this book. God. Just thinking about it reminds me of why I don’t think it’s possible. I mean, come on. We get all this backstory about Alex’s parents, we get tricked along with him into thinking MI6 killed his father, then bam, that was a lie, and Alex may have just fucked himself over big time. Also, that plot is terrifying! (And I bet anti-vaxxers had a field day with it, huh.) Julia Rothman is a really great antagonist, one of the only ones who didn’t go and explain her plan in great detail to Alex--the fact that she didn’t actually being a plot point was something I personally found pretty clever. In general, this book is... I tend to hate when people say they ‘can’t put it down’ because it’s usually an obvious exaggeration, but that really is how I feel reading it.

And again. If that ending didn’t get to you... Well, I just think you are lying.

Otome Thursday

IT’S BRAM!!!!

Y’all, you have no idea how excited I was for this route/series to start. I wasn’t a big fan of Ravi.

ANYWAY

Bram Route

Episode 1 (The free one 😉)

-I really dig the beginning of the route.

-Like a land hidden from even the Elves? Nice

-Also also, I like that this series, Love and Legends, AND Reigning Passions all take place in the same universe and it makes sense. Unlike the more modern series where the crew just sticks characters in the stories to say “Hey, look, notice these characters”

-Sorry. I’m ranting

-Focusing now

-I named my MC Mari Rya

-She’s beautiful

-She’s got a little, sprite/fairy/thing named Ness

-I love them

-I only know the name of the new land because I played the Ravi short but it’s called Tallav

-Mari’s got a reputation as a researcher.

-But this is also a lifelong dream of hers.

-Ness doesn’t speak (what I’m going to call) English, but Mari understands her anyway

-Ness uses They/Them pronouns. RESPECT IT

-Magic time!

-Ness magic time!

-Mari can feel all the living things. I feel like that’s not a human thing.

-But I will reserve judgement

-She’s had a rune stone since she was a baby. Yeah, she’s def not human.

-Holy shit a bear!

-…with a shield and a spear on it’s back.

-Subtle

-The way these sprites move are fucking hilarious

-Mari said “Nope not today”

-Can’t out run a bear. What does this bitch do?

-Drop down to play dead. Cause that’s totally gonna stop a bear from chewing on your spleen

-the “bear” is able to turn her over to her back (duh)

-it turns into a man and…oh what a man

-this CG is so fucking cute!

-he’s like “Is she alive?”

-She’s like “the fuck is he doing?”

-I’m like “Squeeeee they’re both so stupid rn”

-Oh those eyes…

-I haven’t been this in love since Razi. Or Renzei.

-Oh no! headbutt. Gives me a headache just reading it.

-Fuck look at those abs.

-LVS really knows what they’re doing with these character designs

-And Mari’s being thirsty too. It’s not just me

-Whew chile, the way she describes this man. Girl,

-Thank you, Ness, someone has their head on properly

-Never mind. They’re just as thirsty

-I still wanna know how Mari can talk to them

-He knows she’s a human cause she’s wearing clothes. Good lord this series is gonna be a riot in the first couple seasons

-Oh Mari…you’re sounding very Colonizerish

-I don’t like that

-Though it is kinda cute how she nerds out

-I can see her doing this with any thing she comes across.

-Thank you, Ness. Time and Place Mari!

-Invasive is one word for it

-Not much to write.

-She’s gushing. He’s listening. They’re both hot

-oh no, not an eyebrow lift!

-from both of them!

-I can’t do this.

-This bitch just walks away from a question ‘cause she got caught staring!

-I can’t! This is me. Running away from all my problems

-Bram follows cause, y’know, stranger in the woods

-Bram likes Ness. It’s adorable

-Anthropologist=Skald? Maybe.

-Apparently rune reading is impossible, so is befriending a Puck (Ness)

-Mari is def not a human. At least not fully

-See, I feel like if she showed Bram the rune stone she carried with her, that would help bridge this gap.

-But y’know. Whatever.

-Oh they are two bull-headed people

-He’s got (understandable) prejudices against humans/bipeds

-She’s like “MY RESEARCH”

-I’m like “Girl, they’re living people. Respect their boundaries. And Dude, Learn a little”

- She’s very forceful with the fact that she ‘needs to do her research’

-It’s very Colonizerish and I don’t approve.

-Mari, You can’t prove that the Duke who hired you only wanted you to do pure research.

-Ha, Bram called her pretty

-Ohhh Mahuwin Villiage

-Cue Victor from Underworld: “YOU MUST BE JUDGED!!”

-damn he called her insidious

-Mari…honey. Going to a village, you’ll get to see how they live and see how the justice system works. Calm down.

-Of course, no one’s ever been so unwelcoming. You’ve been dealing with other humans and elves.

-Girl!

-I’m judging you so hard rn

-Whew chile that took a lot outta me

Episode 2

-Awww I do feel bad for Ness tho

-They’re scared too

-Bruh, Bram JUST said he doesn’t know what an anthropologist is. You barely related it to a Skald. Showing him your notes means nothing.

-Bram, dude, I get you’re supposed to protect but you’re seeing enemies in the wrong people. Though I get why you’d suspect her.

-The Dinae have no secrets between their tribes (I’m assuming) so there’d be no need for an anthropologist to go looking for old history.

-Also he called her cute (again)

-Ohkay. I draw the line at you accusing Mari of torturing Ness.

-Only a heartless monster would lay hands on Ness.

-I need you to think baby: WHYY WOULD NESS STAY? If Pucks are magical creatures, surely you don’t think that Ness would be foolish enough to stay with a powerless human.

-Oh. Don’t make me insult your intelligence

-Oh don’t make me

-Mari. Don’t do anything stupid. Please. He’s actually being nice. In a weird way. Taking you to be judged. Someone else would’ve just killed you

-Mari…you can’t do your job in someone else’s country without permission. To get permission, you need to go to a village.

-I’m starting to question your intelligence

-Oh good. The bull-headedness is back

-No shit it’s more than just a job! I think you would have gathered that from the fact that to enter Tallav you had to pass a BEAR statue

-Oh no not the sad face

-I know LVS is gonna use that face to get money out of me in future scenes

-Mari, you’re both stubborn. And if I had it my way, you’d’ve gone with him already

-MARI! HE’S NOT A SOLDIER!

-ARUGH

- Not the type of roleplay I thought I’d be reading in this story but sure. Have some hearts

-I wanna smack her so bad and the first season’s not over yet.

-Usually the urge to smack doesn’t kick in until at least season 2.

-She’s a record setter

-Uh oh Bram, you called her an interrogator.

-And he STILL doesn’t fix it!

-They’re both so rude

-Ok, so he gets the why.

-We’re making progress

-This woman can’t let her thirst rest for five minutes.

-I mean same but come on

-Ah! Progress on both sides!

-Still don’t like how forceful Mari is about her job. How would she feel if her job put people in danger?

-You kinda did Mari. You kinda did say “I’m going to do what I want anyway”

-Not in those exact words but enough

-My point!

Bram: You ever think that if we wanted to be bothered by any kingdoms, we would have officially contacted them

That’s my point

At the same time, Bram and his fellow Dinae have their fellow prejudice against bipeds. As I said, mostly justified but they act that they can’t adapt or change

-Mari, interest isn’t always flattering…we aren’t in high school

-Now she’s running away. From a guy that can turn into a bear

-I’m very much questioning her intelligence now.

-Cause she dumb dumb.

-And thus begins an infuriating game of human and bear

-Oh yeah Mari, cause you can totally break the hold of a guy WHO CAN TURN INTO A BEAR

-As Mari is kicking and screaming, Bram: Am I hurting you?

-LMFAOOOO

-Awww Ness trying to help.

-Bitch. He puts you down and you climb a tree. Like bears don’t climb trees?

-Thank you Ness for talking some sense into this stupid girl

-Why is she so defensive?!

-Why can’t they just give me the option of “Fine.” FOR ONCE

-Seriously Mari? If you had stumbled upon a village during your wandering that really HATED humans, the chances of them killing you are SUPER fucking high. Doing it this way is arguably a lot safer

-YO  WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!!!

-That looked like a swamp deer  monster from It Lives Beneath

-FUCK THAT

-RUN BITCH…FUCKING RUUUNNNN

-Why is run never an option when we are clearly outmatched?

-Oh god why does it have to look at the screen!!!

-I don’t like that

-and ewwwww they did detail on the muscles

-Yeah no shit it’s targeting Mari, Bram!

-I think that’s pretty obvious!

-Thank again Ness for saving One Stupid Bitch

-We…we get to RIDE Bram?

-I can (and will) make so many jokes about that

-I’ve already restrained myself from making Bear jokes. So, you’ll deal with that

Episode 3

-Hehehehehehehhehe

-We rode him

-Hopefully this won’t be last time

-and the next time won’t be in bear form

-Ohkay. I’m back. The chapter’s loaded

-Wait one more

-And we can use that rope for something else too

-Idk how to do the lenny face so……just imagine it

-Ok. NOW I’m done.

-Finally, a decent option. THANK YOU, BRAM

-Yeah Mari get that through your thick fucking skull. He’s a defender. He defends.

-Awwww Bram isn’t comfortable with praise. I’m gonna take every opportunity to do it now

-Mari, this is why we don’t talk shit up.

-Hehe still riding him

-Ewww that thing is back.

-Plus side?

-FIGHT SCENE

-Oh nooooo Bram’s hurt

-MARI CONTROL YOUR THIRST THE MAN IS INJURED

-Thank you, Ness! I swear they’re the only character I haven’t been pissed at

-Mari begins to nerd out over plants. Honestly same

-OMG HIS BLUSH

-GUYS. HIS BLUSH

-The stuff of nightmares was an Abberation. I like my name better so it and all its freaky brethren will be called The Stuff of Nightmares

-And Bram’s back to being suspicious. Sigh. And we were having such a nice time

-The Dinae don’t have pets and that’s the saddest thing I’ve read all day.

-Mari just realized that Bram’s been naked this entire time.

-Lol

-Oh so, if Bram trusted Mari, he’d happily tell her everything she wanted to know.

-Hmmmmmm

-I certainly can’t say no to that face. So neither can you Mari. Here. Have some hearts

-See, they say fur covered thigh, all I hear is, cuddling for the winter.

-OMG SHE COULD SQUISH HIS PAW BEANS

-IF SHE DOESN’T SQUISH HIS PAW BEANS WE’RE GONNA HAVE A PROBLEM

-Mari stahp being so thirsty. There’s a stream next to you. Go dunk your head.

-Ness is adorable and I want a plushie of them

-Oh NOQOOOWW she has a problem with riding him

-…Ok, I mean…her explanation makes sense.

-See, every Dinae does it!

-Bram is so tired of her. It’s so funny

-WAIT. THERE’S WOLVERINES

-….is one’s name Logan?

-I’ll leave now

-I’m so glad they’re starting to understand each other more. Cause I was ready to jump through my phone screen.

-Things are still tense, of course.

-Wait a fucking minute. Going through a patch of brambles saved you a fucking DAY of travel? WTF

-I’m very interested in seeing how this plays out as opposed to Ravi’s route.

-Let’s meet Chieftain Mael!!

Kahaan Hum Kahaan Tum ~ Episode 72: Of Coin Tosses and ‘Friendship’

This episode is hands down one of my top 5 episodes in this show. I absolutely loved every bit of it. Also I realised I prefer doing these type of mini summaries/liveblogs rather than a full on liveblog (it takes so much longer idk how @ishqsa and @tellywoodtrash do it for every episode. I applaud their efforts). But this turned out to be quite long coz again, got carried away with the feelzzz 

AAHHH THE AWKWARDNESS, man Rohit Sippy sucks at small talk #relatable 

The hand grab, when he thanks her for the night before <3 <3 

Girl’s resolve is breaking, ‘itna toh kar his sakti hoon tumhaare pyaar ke liye’ good coverup with the, I mean for you and Raima 

And we’re back at the ‘ache dost’ 

Trust Rohit to do a coin toss rather than to just say what he wants, and then lose the coin in the process 

Sonakshi hits him with the ‘it was nice dating you’ and forwards her hand to shake his, LOLLLL THIS LOOKS LIKE THE END OF A BUSINESS MEETING 

Also the use of Do Pal, very apt, hit the feelz 

Deepa confronting Rohan 

Does Deepa know that Rohan cheats on his wife on the regular? 

Proud of her for not stepping down when he hits her with his ‘you’re not family bs’ but also Rohan is an outright dick, I mean she cares more for your wife than you ever will, so basically more family than you

Fkn hell, Akaash always coming to put is tang in matters that don’t require him. Just go make some food or something 

YASSS AA GAYA MERA CUPID, AJIT, IN DO GADHO KO RAASTA DIKHANE 

You guys, Rohit would be fucked without Ajit 

Ajit being all like, ‘I’m so excited you were about grow a pair and talk to her, but alas, you’ve disappointed me, yet again’ 

“main kya apni feelings force karoon uske upar...” OMG a tellywood hero, understanding that he cannot force his feelings/decisions on the heroine 

Am I in a parallel universe? 

Is this actually happening? 

Does Rohit Sippy actually exist, or is he just a figment of our imagination, because we got sick of MCPs? 

I never knew I would live to see the day that a tellywood male lead would think this way 

Rohit is becoming my ultimate favourite tellywood male lead 

LOLLL AJIT HITTING HIM WITH THE “aap bade hain, isliye mooh pe gadha bhi nahi bol sakta” 

Ajit inn dono ki love story set karte karte khud buddha ho jayega 

YEH TOH 6 MONTHS MEIN SONAKSHI KI SHAADI PE PAUNCH GAYA

Omg shaadi bhi karadi, pregnant bhi kardiya, bache bhi kardiye bechaari ke, aur bhai ka funeral tak paunch gaya yeh idiot 

But hey, at least it shook Rohit enough to take action 

Omg he actually found the coin and ofcourse it’s tails 

Why does this dude need messages from God, kismat, his alter ego etc. to take action, very Parvati-esq of him

Yaar, ab YK ki maa bhi tapak padi, I can only deal with one stereotypical regional mother, either Raima’s Bengali mother or YK’s Punjabi one, you cannot hit me with both, I do not allow it 

LOOK AT THE HAQ THAT HE GOES TO HER CAR WITH AND TELLS HER TO LISTEN TO HIM BECAUSE IT’S ‘VERY IMPORTANT’ 

If he says it today, I will personally fly to india and hug the writers, thanking them for a show where fanfiction tropes come to life 

Omg WHY IS HE STILL STUCK ON CALLING HER A FRIEND EVEN RAVI IS DONE WITH HIS SHIT 

dosti ke aage badh, nahi toh dono ke dono tum akele maroge jaise ajit ne bola 

Okay we’ve gone from ‘you are my best friend’ to ‘you are my special friend’ #progress 

“Tumhaari bohot keemat hai mere dil mein, meri life mein” 

UMMM YES NOW WE’RE TALKING, JALDI BOL 

OOH BOI IS SELF AWARE, WITH ACCEPTING HIS RUDENESS, SHORT TEMPER AND SELFISHNESS

“I know tum mujhe like karti ho, matlab ‘like like’ nahi, but like...”

Is Rohit a teenage girl, with his whole ‘she doesn’t like like me. you know’ 

I mean have you seen her face when you enter the room, it lights up like a bulb, god men are so dumb 

Agar isne ek aur baar apne aap ko iska dost bola toh main, Sona, Ravi aur Ajit iska gala daba denge 

YESSS HE’S FINALLY SPITTING IT OUT, “Lekin main tumhe like se ziada karta hoon” HE SAID IT AS A 14 YEAR OLD GIRL, BUT HE SAID IT, AND THAT’S ALL THAT MATTERS 

“Main tumhe ‘like like’ nahi karti? Rohit please, dekho meri aankhon mein, kya dikhaya deta hai?”

OMG THE STARE, THE CHEEK CUP!!!!!!! KISSSSS ALREADY GO MAKE OUT, YOU HAVE TWO EMPTY CARS JUST GO FOR IT 

Sorry for the Tharak, I just got carried away. I’m still reeling in this excitement that the lack of precap isn’t even getting to me

(Consumed) Wonshik: My Doll

a/n: i know this took really long to post, but i mean, i hope its sorta worth the wait???? but i’ll try to do the rest faster

Characters: Wonshik x female reader (featuring Hakyeon)

Genre/warnings: yandere au, black magic/voodoo au, angst, horror, mention of bullying, implied torture, kidnapping, mental and emotional manipulation, mention of/implied smut, and stalking (seriously, this is a yandere au so things get pretty dark, don’t read if this isn’t your thing). also I don’t know too much about black magic or voodoo, so I did research. some websites said they can be connected, others said they’re very different. I tried my best, I apologize for anything that’s wrong.

Word count: 4,907

Summary: He hummed softly to himself as he thread the needle through the scratchy material. It took weeks of collecting everything he need – every time he ‘accidentally’ bumped into you, every time you left the quaint little coffee shop or bookstore, he was there to collect the items he needed for this – but it was worth it.

Finally, he could make you his, whether you wanted to be or not.

Putting in the final stitch, he tied off the thread, and held the doll of you out to examine. He smiled eagerly at how perfectly he made it – he had to get this right; it was for you, after all. He’d never made one of these before, but he knew how it worked, and that it would work.It had to work.

“You’ll be mine,” he sighed dreamily, stroking the hair of the doll, that just so happened to be made of your own hair, “very, very soon.”

Consumed Masterlist

He was the friend of a friend, and he seemed very normal on the surface. Sure, he had a lot of tattoos, and was relatively quiet, but that didn’t make him strange, at least not at first glance. Nobody could tell the tattoos were symbols that represented his practice, and nobody could tell he was quiet because he was always observing his surroundings -- more specifically: you.

His friends called him Ravi, so that’s what you called him. However, every time his nickname came from your mouth, he looked slightly...off, like he was in pain. Secretly, he just wanted you to say his name, but only those who were really close with him ever called him that; those who knew what he did in his spare time.

Wonshik was adopted into a family that believed a lot in voodoo. It was something he’d seen ever since he was a child, and he learned how to perfect it through his grandmother. He was always told as a child to not talk about voodoo in school, but he mentioned it to a few friends he thought he could trust. They teased him and spread it to other students, and he soon became the target of harrassment and bullying. Ever since then, he’d worked to use it for personal gain.

His favorite thing to use were the dolls. He could do whatever he wanted to the victim without them ever knowing it was him. He’d keep the dolls hid in his locker or backpack, doing whatever he pleased whenever he pleased. For once in his life, he felt like he had full control.

His family had found out about him abusing the voodoo, and disowned him after high school. Did Wonshik care? No. In his mind, his family was dead to him. He managed to make it on his own, going to college and making new friends that he never mentioned his practice to. He always felt cold toward everyone, even his friends who he was supposed to trust.

That is, until he saw you.

Your bright smile warmed his heart immediately, and your twinkling laugh made his body tingle in a way he’d never felt before. It was something about you that made him feel like he had something good in his life. The only problem was that he didn’t really have you in his life. He was the friend of a friend, and you hardly ever spoke to him.

“Ravi!” his friend’s voice broke him from his thoughts, realizing he had spaced out staring at the menu of the diner. “Do you know what you want?”

He looked up from the laminated paper, his eyes finding you first, before shifting to his friend, and then the waiting waitress. “Uh, burger and fries.”

The slim girl jotted down the order before collecting the menus and walking away. Sitting across from him were you and Hakyeon -- Hakyeon was giving Ravi a concerned look while you absentmindedly played with the napkins. 

“Are you feeling okay?” Hakyeon wondered, his eyebrows knitting together.

Wonshik nodded. “Yeah, of course. Why?”

“You’ve been...spacey.” the older boy shrugged. “That’s why I thought we should eat here for dinner.”

“Oh yeah,” you spoke up, immediately catching 100% of Wonshik’s attention, “didn’t you say this is where you and him would come every Friday night for like, six months?”

Wonshik couldn’t be more elated that you remembered a fact about him. He also wondered if you had asked about him, and that’s why Hakyeon had told you that story. He hoped you were wondering about him.

He did have a way to make you think about him all the time, he just had to put the last finishing touches on it. It’s what he planned on doing today -- he finally finished it last night after collecting the last few things he needed to finish it -- but when Hakyeon asked if he wanted to hang out, and mentioned you’d be with him, how could he say no? He’d have time to do the spell tonight, anyway.

Then tomorrow, if he did everything correctly -- and he was sure he would -- you would be his.

-

You were on the phone with Hakyeon after you got home, just letting him know you were there safe and sound. He always asked you to call him, and he always got worried when you didn’t. He was still in the car, and you always scolded him for talking on the phone while driving even if his calls did go through to his car speakers. You still worried about him getting too distracted.

It was during your lighthearted conversation with Hakyeon that Ravi had popped into your head for some reason. You didn’t know why you suddenly thought of him, but you couldn’t stop. Your heart fluttered at the mere thought of him, and you wanted nothing more than to see him again like you had today. You wanted it so badly that it hurt. All you wanted was to be wrapped in his arms and have him whisper sweet nothings in your ear. You just wanted Ravi.

“Hakyeon,” you suddenly interrupted whatever he was saying, “what’s Ravi’s number?”

“Ravi?” he repeated, sounding confused. “Uh...why?”

“I just want it,” you stated.

Hakyeon knew this was weird for you. You never asked about his friend before, so why now suddenly? What did he do today that made you want his number, and why didn’t you just ask him yourself before?

But despite him knowing something was up, he listed off the digits before you said goodbye and went to add the number to your contacts. You immediately called him, half expecting him to not pick up since you didn’t think he’d have your number. Why would he have it, he never spoke to you.

But he already had it from when he stole it from Hakyeon’s phone, and his face lit up when he saw his screen light up with your name. The spell had worked.

“Hey,” he breathed, as if he was expecting the call; waiting for it.

“Ravi,” you smiled, your heart beating faster just hearing his voice.

His expression turned sour, though you couldn’t see it, “Don’t ever call me by that name. Call me Wonshik from now on.”

“Wonshik,” you repeated.

He smiled, loving the way his name sounded coming from your lips, “Good girl.”

-

There were two ways to cast a love spell, but Wonshik opted for the one that would be easier but less effective: a voodoo doll. He made the doll accordingly before performing the spell on it. If the doll was ever stolen or lost, the spell would wear off. Therefore, Wonshik kept it locked up in a tiny cage -- almost like a birdcage -- in his closet unless he needed it.

The spell was strong, he knew that much. You were supposed to be in love with him already, although you hadn’t dropped the “L” word yet. But considering you agreed to a date with him today, he assumed the spell was strong enough. It would at least get him what he needed.

The only obstacle that Wonshik knew he’d face was Hakyeon. While the older boy was Wonshik’s best friend and knew of his beliefs and practice, he didn’t know that he regularly used it on people, especially not like this. If he ever found out what Wonshik had done to you, it would be all over. So Wonshik had to get you away from Hakyeon somehow.

All Wonshik could do was hope that the spell was strong enough for you to just...listen to him. He could simply tell you he wanted you to stay away from Hakyeon, and it should work. If it didn’t, he would just have to take action himself. Really, it was a foolproof plan.

With his phone and wallet in his pockets, he was prepared for the date. You had sent him your address last night -- though he already knew it -- so he could walk to your apartment to meet up with you, and walk to the subway from there.

On his way, his phone started ringing from the pocket of his joggers. He expected it to be you, but when he pulled it out, he saw it was Hakyeon. He didn’t know what he could want, but he answered anyway.

“What’s up?”

“Why did ___ tell me she can’t hang out with me anymore because she’s going on a date with you?” Hakyeon wondered, sounding extremely confused, and even a little angry. That last one made Wonshik smirk.

“Because she is going on a date with me,” Wonshik shrugged as he carried on toward your building. “Is that not allowed or something?”

“No, Wonshik, it’s not that,” the older boy sighed, “it’s just...you guys never talk. I never even knew either of you were interested in each other. Why are you suddenly going on a date now?”

“Why not?”

“Where’d the sudden interest come from?”

“I’ve always thought she was cute, I just never talked about it. That would be weird.”

Hakyeon let out a laugh that let Wonshik know he knew the whole thing was bullshit, “We’re best friends, dude. It’s not weird.”

“Look, I’m almost at her place,” Wonshik said, wanting to end the conversation as quickly as possible. “I’ll talk to you later, okay?”

“Mhmm,” Hakyeon replied, sounding skeptical, “just let me know when you drop her off. I want to make sure she gets home okay.”

“Yeah,” he replied. “See ya.”

He hung up, putting his phone back in his pocket before he strode up to your building. You were already waiting on the steps, anxiously looking around for him. When your eyes landed on him, you stood with an excited squeal and threw your arms around his neck from where you stood on the step, unable to contain yourself.

“Hello!” you smiled widely, your breath tickling his ear.

He chuckled, but let his strong arms snake around your waist. He’d only dreamed of holding you like this, so the fact it was actually happening made him not want to ever let go. His hold only tightened as he inhaled deeply, wanting to never forget your scent or your body pressed against his or your warmth -- any of it.

However, he released you in favor of taking your hand in his, “Are you ready to go?”

“Definitely!” you chirped before he led you off toward the city.

You walked in step with him, glancing up at him every so often. You wondered how you never noticed how handsome he was. Looking at him was like looking at a God, you thought. He was good-looking, yet mysterious. You didn’t know much about him, he barely spoke, and he had so many tattoos covering his skin that you never knew the meanings behind. You wanted to learn everything about him, though.

The entire trip to the art museum he was taking you to was filled with you two asking about each other. You didn’t know that Wonshik didn’t need any answers because he already had them, but even with you under the love spell, he wanted to play it off like he hadn’t done anything. In case things somehow went wrong, he didn’t want you knowing that what happened was because of him. He wasn’t going to leave any metaphorical fingerprints.

He kept your hand in his as he led you up the concrete steps to the museum. Truthfully, you always loved art, which was why Wonshik specifically chose that location for the date. However, you couldn’t take your eyes off of your date long enough to appreciate art like you normally would.

Wonshik had been to an art museum with you once before this, and of course, it was when Hakyeon was with you. Wonshik admired how lost you got in all of the paintings, pictures, and sculptures. While you admired the art, he admired what he found to be art: you. You never noticed, either; you were too engrossed in everything around you. Even Hakyeon had no idea Wonshik was staring at you, and subtly gathering things for his voodoo doll for you.

This time, though, it was you who admired Wonshik. The way his brows furrowed when he tried to understand a painting, or the way the corners of his mouth slightly turned up when he saw something he found particularly interesting. Of course, he wasn’t only focusing on the art, but he figured he should try since it was a date. He had to act normal.

But when he realized that the whole thing was kind of pointless considering he wasn’t into art, and you weren’t paying attention to any of it, the two of you just left instead. He didn’t know what to do next, but you had an idea.

“We could go back to your place?” you suggested, biting your lower lip softly.

But he wasn’t taking any chances in you finding anything, “How about yours?”

With butterflies erupting in your stomach, you brought Wonshik back to your apartment without a second thought. Even when you’d closed and locked the door to your apartment once the two of you were through the doorway, you didn’t panic that you were alone with someone who was practically a stranger. When his lips pressed roughly against yours, you didn’t stop to think about what you were doing. Even when your clothes were torn off, and you pressed down into your mattress, you didn’t question the fact you were moaning out a name you only learned the day before.

-

Over the next week, Wonshik tested the limits of the spell. He did things in bed with you that would definitely push your limits, but you always liked it because he liked it. He asked odd things of you, but you’d do them without protest. With that in mind, he figured it was okay to carry on with his plan.

“___, love,” he murmured as you lay on his bare chest, trying to catch your breath.

“Mm...” you hummed tiredly in response, your body close to giving out after the events that had occurred over the last hour or so all over your apartment.

The two of you eventually ended up in your bedroom, and now you were sprawled out on his chest while his fingertips trailed up and down your spine. Your face was nuzzled into his neck, on the brink of sleep after exerting yourself so much. You would’ve tapped out with anybody else, but you wanted nothing more than to please Wonshik and make him happy. You’d do anything for him, even if it would make you pass out from exhaustion.

He didn’t really know how to say it, so he just said it, “I don’t want you hanging out with Hakyeon anymore.”

Something in you felt...weird about that request. You lifted your head to look at him, a crease forming between your brows, “What? ...Why?”

Wonshik frowned, “You’re not going to go against me, are you, love?”

He suddenly gripped your chin, forcing your face closer to his. His dark eyes looked deep into yours, “If you didn’t listen, that would make me very upset.”

Panic immediately washed through you, and you found yourself shaking your head and clinging tighter to him, “N-no! I won’t hang out with Hakyeon anymore.”

Wonshik grinned before pressing a sweet kiss to your lips, which had all of your worries and panic evaporating completely. You relaxed back into his chest, your head on his shoulder.

“Tell him,” Wonshik ordered suddenly.

Your head lifted once again, “Now?”

“Yes, now,” he nodded. “Where’s your phone?”

You pointed to the nightstand, so Wonshik reached over to unplug it from the wall charger. He handed the device to you, looking at you expectantly with raised eyebrows.

Sitting up, you searched through your contacts to find Hakyeon. He was the most recent person to have texted you, so it didn’t take long. You started to type out a message, but Wonshik’s fingers covered the phone as he lowered it from your face.

“No, love, I want you to call him,” he explained.

You just nodded slowly in reply before calling Hakyeon like your boyfriend wanted. You put the phone to your ear, your heart beating rapidly in your chest. You were never one to like confrontation, so you were actually worried about doing this.

Wonshik’s hands moved to your thighs, rubbing your skin softly. The small gesture brought you comfort, so you soon forgot about how anxious you were to talk to Hakyeon. As long as you had Wonshik, what did anything else matter?

“___!” Hakyeon cheered, happy to hear from you. “I don’t think I’ve heard your voice all day! What’s up? How’re you and Wonshik?”

“Actually,” you ignored his questions, wanting to just get right to the point to make Wonshik as happy as possible, “I called to tell you...I won’t be contacting you anymore.”

You could hear Hakyeon coughing, and you assumed he was probably out getting a drink with his friends and choked on his beer or something -- he was out at bars a lot when he wasn’t with you. 

“Wait, what?” he gasped. “___, why would you--”

“It’s just how things have to be,” you replied easily, staring down at Wonshik who looked so proud of you. “Goodbye, Hakyeon.”

You ended the call despite Hakyeon’s frantic yelling of your name. Wonshik took your phone and tossed it to the other side of the bed before pulling you down to him, his lips pressing sweetly against yours.

“Ah, you’re such a good girl, aren’t you?” he smirked, making you giggle. “I think you deserve a reward for making me so happy.”

Soon, you’d forgotten all about Hakyeon.

However, back with his friends, you were all Hakeyon could think about. His friends all knew how close the two of you were -- you were practically his sister -- so the fact you’d tell him you weren’t going to talk to him anymore completely out of nowhere was definitely more than strange. Something was wrong, and he was sure he had an idea of what.

Hakyeon didn’t plan on calling Wonshik before going to his apartment. He was just going to show up and demand answers. But when the older boy got there, Wonshik wasn’t answering the door.

“Jesus Christ...” he grumbled as he dug out his ring of keys. He got the spare key Wonshik had given him, inserting it into the lock before opening the door. “Wonshik! Yah, Wonshik! We need to talk!”

Hakyeon stomped through the living room, kitchen, and bathroom, but didn’t find the man in question anywhere. There was the bedroom, but he figured Wonshik must’ve been at your place. Either way, he figured it was better to try than to go hunt you down, too.

He entered Wonshik’s empty bedroom, and was going to just leave, until he noticed a faint glow coming from underneath the door of the closet. He walked over slowly, placing his hand cautiously on the doorknob before turning it and cracking the door open.

He almost passed out at what he saw.

In the closet was what he could only describe as a shrine, but it wasn’t just any shrine. It looked like it was a shrine to some sort of God, but it was clearly to you. He recognized some of the items as things you’d complained about losing, or pictures of you that he didn’t ever remember being taken. There were pieces of your hair, used napkins, and the like. All of this was surrounded by fairy lights, which were causing the glow of light.

The thing that really caught his attention, though, was the cage in the middle of it all. It was a golden cage with a doll locked in it. It had the same color hair as you, and it even looked like you. He was afraid to know what the doll was stuffed with...

Hakyeon knew Wonshik practiced voodoo, so he knew this doll was bad news. He was livid because Wonshik had used his voodoo magic on you, and he knew this was the reason you suddenly took an interest in Wonshik. He was forcing you to be in love with him, and he was probably forcing you away from your friends -- the shrine of you was enough for him to gather that Wonshik wanted you all to himself.

He reached for the cage, planning on just smashing the damn thing, but then he thought about what would happen if this somehow broke whatever voodoo shit Wonshik had done to you. What if this doll being freed would free you from your trance? You’d be alone and afraid with a man who had barely known beforehand, and Wonshik could possibly hurt or kidnap you if he realized you weren’t in love with him anymore.

“Fuck!” he groaned, gripping his hair by the roots in frustration.

But he had to save you, so what was he supposed to do? He could just take the cage with him, but then what? If he confronted Wonshik, who knows what would happen. Wonshik could kill both of you, and then what?

So he pulled out his phone in a panic and did the only thing he could think of: he called the police.

-

Wonshik heard the annoying little beeps coming from his phone. He quickly checked and saw that there was an intruder in his house. The security cameras had caught somebody, and Wonshik had a feeling he knew exactly who it was.

Lo and behold, he could see Hakyeon pacing his bedroom, the closet door wide open. Wonshik’s heart sank to his stomach, but he somehow knew this might happen. He also knew what would happen if the doll was taken into the wrong hands, but he couldn’t go and retrieve it. He’d just have to make a new one eventually, or perform the spell on you. He’d have to worry about all of that later, though.

Wonshik gently shook your shoulder, waking you from your slumber, “C’mon, love, you have to wake up.”

“What time is it?” you wondered groggily, seeing the night sky out your window.

“It’s still nighttime, but we have to leave,” he explained as he got out of bed to pack the few things he had at your place, as well as some things for you. “We’re going on a little trip.”

“To where?” you asked, slowly pushing yourself up and rubbing your eyes like a child. “Why now?”

“___, please just listen to me,” he sighed, trying not to snap at you.

“Okay,” you nodded, sliding out of bed and going to help Wonshik.

With one suitcase packed messily, he deemed it enough until he got to where he needed to go. He wasn’t 100% sure where he was going, but he had a decent idea. He had connections, he would call somebody during the drive.

Wonshik rushed you out of the apartment building and into his car. He knew he couldn’t keep this one for long if they managed to track down which car he owned, but it would have to do for now. He drove off in the general direction he knew he should head before he called somebody on his phone.

You stared out the window, unsure of what Wonshik was talking about. You only could hear half of the conversation, anyway. But you noticed you started to feel...weird. You felt kind of dizzy, but that escalated into a massive headache. That quickly grew to you feeling like your skull was going to break in half, and you doubled over as your fists were placed firmly on either side of your head, your eyes squeezed shut. Wonshik paid you no mind, already knowing what was happening.

It wasn’t long until you finally passed out, and Wonshik knew he had to hurry and get you to a place you couldn’t escape. His contact said there was a safe house nearby that he could stay until he managed to forge documents and get plane tickets to New Zealand. He hoped he’d have a knew spell on you by then, but he’d have to be working very fast.

-

“She’s not here,” a cop reported to Hakyeon with a deep sigh. “He must’ve taken her.”

Hakyeon had no idea how Wonshik would’ve known, but it didn’t matter how anymore. All that mattered was finding you, but Wonshik was clearly more unpredictable than he thought. Finding you seemed impossible now, even if the voodoo magic did wear off.

“Do you have any information?” the cop asked when Hakyeon stayed silent.

He told the cops everything he knew about you and Wonshik. Of course, the cops weren’t really unfamiliar with Wonshik since he was considered an oddball. They were always keeping an eye on him when he was out and about, despite his quiet nature. It really was always the quiet ones...

“We’ll let you know if we find anything,” the cop nodded, closing his notepad.

“Wait!” Hakyeon placed a hand on the cop’s shoulder before he had the chance to leave. “...What will you do with the doll?”

“Evidence,” he replied. “If this really is...voodoo like you say, I’ll pray for the poor girl.”

That was all anyone could really do, anyway.

-

You woke up in a small, dim room. Your arms were tied behind you, and your legs were tied down to the legs of the chair you sat in. You blinked furiously, trying to see better, and you could see a man’s back to you across the room. It took a moment, but you finally registered the tattoos, and remembered everything that had happened.

Wonshik.

“Wha...” you didn’t realize that you still felt dazed until you tried to form words with your thoughts. “What did you...do to me?”

Wonshik turned at the sound of your voice, a mischievous smile on his face. He slowly approached you, placing a finger under your chin when he was close enough. He noticed you still looked groggy and pretty out of it, so keeping you under control for now would be no problem. Hell, he probably didn’t even need you tied up.

“Nothing too bad,” he shrugged, bending down to look at you from eye-level. “Don’t worry, love, you’ll be back to normal in no time.”

“N-normal?” you repeated, not understanding what that was supposed to mean. Did he mean that you’d be back to how you were before you were suddenly in love with him? 

“Things are almost done for my newest spell,” he informed you proudly. “We’ll be happy again, ___.”

You tried to yank your head away, but you couldn’t do it fast enough. It looked more like you were trying to turn your head but couldn’t hold up the weight of it. He chuckled at you, shaking his head.

“I don’t....want you...” you said, wishing for your voice to be stronger.

“But you did before,” he shrugged, unfazed by your words, “and you will again.”

You felt your eyes fill with tears, but you couldn’t even cry.

“Shh,” he cooed, stroking your cheek with his thumb, “everything will be okay soon.”

Since it would take too long to stitch up a new doll, Wonshik did the fastest thing: a normal love spell. This would also be stronger, and he wouldn’t have to worry about someone breaking it. There was no guarantee it would work but it was his best shot for now.

He had already lit incense and made flower offerings for his respective deity. All he had to do now was pray. You were starting to come back to, but it was very slow. You didn’t know what Wonshik was saying as he knelt before his makeshift shrine, and you didn’t know what he was planning on doing with you. All you could do was wish that Hakyeon or your parents or anybody were here to save you.

Once he was done, Wonshik slowly approached you, his expression unreadable. He was nervous this wouldn’t work, but he had to believe in his God and in his powers.

This had to work.

You watched lazily as Wonshik knelt down in front of you, and mumbled some words you didn’t understand, and could barely hear. He cupped your cheeks, looking deep into your eyes like he was trying to hypnotize you.

At first, you tried to get away from his grip. You didn’t want him touching you, and you didn’t even want to look at him. Hell, you didn’t want him anywhere near you, but there wasn’t much you could do.

After a few moments, though, you started to relax. Wonshik’s skin against yours started to feel warm and comforting, and you found yourself leaning into his touch. His unreadable expression soon turned into a smile, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he was done.

You stared at him adoringly, and you couldn’t remember why you were mad at him before. You didn’t know why you were so disgusted with him that you wanted nothing more to get away, because in that moment, all you could look at was him; all you could think about was him.

You loved him.

Wonshik was pleased with himself, bringing his forehead to rest against yours, “Now, my love, you are mine forever.”

You nodded, “Forever.”

Game Over (1/?)

Author’s note: This is a collab with @starlighttaek8. This is the the first time i ever did anything VIXX  and it was really fun writing it, especially being able to write with @starlighttaek8 We hope that you all like it. Posts are going to alternate between this blog and her blog.

Genre: Angst/fluff (Leo x reader)

Summary: Your dream of being a professional dancer was now a reality. All the more worthwhile was the fact that you were a back up dancer for your best friend’s kpop group. So everything was perfect right? Wrong! Your emotions take a hit after forming a crush on a particular someone.

ALL PARTS

The music was blasting.

It was just you in this beautiful practice room.

It was your first time being inside Jellyfish Entertainment and you had made sure to be extra early for your first day. You loved it so far. The building was so nice and clean and the dance room was perfect. It was all more than you could have ever dreamed of. Even the security guard was nice enough to escort you to the room to make sure you wouldn't get lost.

Being the only person in the room however, you thought it would only be proper to get a bit of your warm up in before your fellow dancers showed up.

Twist.

Arm down.

Leg out.

Down

Turn up and slide.

Jump and-

Suddenly the door opened, a figure appearing in the reflection of the mirrored wall. 

"Oh sorry we thought- wait! Y/N?!?" the sound of that voice was all too familiar for you.

You looked back at the boy in the reflection. "Hyuk?!?"

It was him. You almost couldn’t believe it. It was really him! Your wonderful stupid childhood best friend. It had been years since you had last seen him in person but now he was standing  just a few feet away.

Without a second thought the two of you ran to each other, engulfing one another in the biggest hug.

"What are you doing here?!?" He asked still holding you tight.

"What do think? I'm here as a backup dancer!"

"Since when?!?"

"Since ten minutes ago!”

He broke the hug only so he could look you in the eye "Really?!? This is great! This is awesome! Why didn't you tell me!" He whined with a playful shove.

"Because someone got a little too famous and became untouchable a few years ago!"

You attempted to shove him back... But that didn't play out too well. He was no longer the scrawny little “Hyukkie” you used to know. Your little push did nothing to him.

"Darn it! You are too big for me to push around now! Look at you, you're practically a giraffe!"

"You're just jealous cuz you haven't grown at all since I last saw you!" He teased, sticking his tongue at you.

"yoU’rE JuSt jeAlOus cUZ yoU’rE ShorT! Whatever! I will have you know that I am slightly above average!"

"Uh, that's still short!"

"Ahem, excuse me! Would either one of you, preferably Hyuk, like to update the rest of us on this little reunion?" One of the five boys standing by the door asked.

You were so excited about seeing Hyuk that you hadn't realized the rest of VIXX was in the room staring at the two of you.

"Oh yeah! Guys, this is Y/n! She’s a childhood friend of mine!" Hyuk said proudly.

Before you knew it, he grabbed your hand and dragged you over to the rest of the guys.

"We met back in elementary and we were best friends for years! Y/n, I am sure you know the rest of the guys, right? Cuz, like, if you were actually my best friend you would be a fan of VIXX and know us all."

You only threw him a quick side glare. "Of course I'm a fan of you guys! And yes I know all of your names." You said pleasantly as you turned to everyone else. "It's nice to actually meet you all." You said as you bowed.

“Prove it.” Hyuk suddenly challenged.

“Prove what?”

“That you know everyone!”

“Challenge accepted!” You exclaimed and began to point to each member.

“You are N aka Cha Hakyeon, you are Ravi aka Kim Wonshik, and you are Lee Hongbin, and Ken aka Lee Jaehwan, and last but not least, Leo aka Jung Taekwoon!” You finish proudly, giving Hyuk a nudge.

“Is that good enough? Or do I need to go into birthdays and blood types? What's my prize?”

“You won! And your prize is continuing our friendship!” Hyuk exclaimed as he wrapped you in a hug again.

“Hyukkie! You're gonna kill me one of these days with these anaconda hugs of yours.” You relent.

“I haven't seen you in five years! That's five years of hugs that I need! And five years that you need to tell me about! Oh!!! You should come to dinner tonight! Is that alright N-Hyung? Can Y/N come? Please?”

“That should be fine but we came here so we can practice our new dances. So we should start soon.”

“Awesome!” Hyuk was nothing but smile. “I can’t wait to see you dance, tell me you actually got better? He laughed some more.

“I’ve seen you all live, Trust me Hyukkie, I’m better than you now!” you spat back just as the rest of the back up dancers arrived and the practice was going to begin.

-----------

“Hyukkie, are you sure I can still go? Like I said it’s fine, you guys enjoy the rest of the dinner.” you said into the phone.

“No! I really want you to get to know the rest of the guys!” he whined

“Fine, Fine, but what do I have to say again?”

“Table for Hakyeon.”

“Alright, see you all in a bit.” you said before you hung up.

You were speed walking down the sidewalk to the restaurant Hyuk said they were at. Originally you were supposed to walk with them, but you and the other backup dancers went to practice with Gugudan and that practice was longer than expected.

Now here you were, getting at the restaurant probably half an hour after they ordered their food. Following Hyuk’s orders, you went up to the hostess and politely asked for a table under the name Hakyeon, then you followed her to the back of the restaurant near the kitchen where she opened a small room for you.

There were six boys all sitting comfortably, one with the biggest smile on his face.

“Finally!! You made it!” Hyuk practically shouted as he tackled your tired body with a hug.

Before you knew it he was dragging you to the spot between himself and Ken and loading your empty plate with some of the food that was still left on the tables.

“I am so sorry I am late you guys.” you said with a bow.

“Don’t worry about it.” N began “We know how practices are! Eat, you must be hungry.”

As you were eating, the conversation lulled into slurping noodles and cooking meat. Suddenly, Ravi, who has continuously stolen glances at you all evening broke the silence. "...Say, Y/N, do you have a boyfriend? I can't help but notice you're awfully pretty."

Hyuk threw a warning glance at his hyung, but you answer anyways.

Heat rushed to your cheeks in heartbeat. "Uh- No, no boyfriend. I'm usually too busy to date. I'm sure you understand being in a band and all so I'll leave it at that."

You quickly took another bite of the noodles, hoping to avoid further conversations about dating. You had nothing against it really. It's just that you've never had a boyfriend, so conversations about dating usually became awkward.

When you finished, Hyuk who had been glaring at Ravi since he asked, said:

"Hyung, back off. She's my friend. You're not allowed to date her."

“Woah, woah, woah! Who said anything about dating Y/N? I was just stating a fact. Is there something wrong with pointing out how pretty she is? Taekwoon-Hyung, you think Y/N is pretty also right?” Ravi was really trying to get the attention off him, but his tactic only resulted in a glare from Leo.

“Y/N is off limits!” Hyuk emphasized some more.

“Oh why, does little Hyukkie like Y/N and he wants her all for himself?!?” Ken teased.

“Ewwwwwww no!” Both you and Hyuk gagged “That's disgusting!” again you both said in unison.

“You even say the same things! There must be some feelings here!” Hakyeon laughed.

“Y/N is like my sister!” Hyuk explained. “And I don't want any of you getting your grubby hands on her.”

“But what if I want them to~” you said only to make Hyuk mad.

Your comment got a roar from the other boys who mostly laughed at Hyuk’s expression of disgust. Even Leo chuckled a bit.

“Y/N if you only knew these guys like I know them, you wouldn't want to touch them with a ten foot pole.”

“That's because you're a guy Hyukkie.” You snicker.

“Well.. Still! If anyone is going to date Y/N.. It's not gonna be Ravi-Hyung.” Hyuk stayed with his original thought.

This comment from Hyuk made everyone else at the table burst into laughter at Wonshik's expense.

“Your just jealous cuz I'm the best looking one here!” Ravi said under his breath, a comment that got the other five boys shoving him back and forth

“Says who?!?”

“You wish!”

“Dude, you ugly”

“Get a mirror!”

You only watched them as you ate. It was entertaining really, a dinner and a show.

“Now that that's taken care of,” N began after the beat down on Ravi, “Y/N, tell us about yourself. We'd like to get to know you more considering how close you used to be with Hyuk.”

“We mostly want to hear the embarrassing stories.” Hongbin peeped.

“No they don't!” Hyuk almost shouted. “... But update me! What is new since we last saw each other?”

You did so, letting everyone know how and why you became a dancer, letting them know all your other hobbies and interests and even throwing in an embarrassing pre-teen Hyuk story now and then.

For the most part everyone seemed to like you… Expect for Leo. He kinda just sat at the end of the table staring over at you and everyone. He didn't talk much, didn't laugh. He actually seemed a bit annoyed by you.

When it came time to goodbyes, everyone bid you a warm farewell , N and Ken even gave you a goodbye hug after Hyuk did so. But again, Leo didn't seem to care for you as he barely waved when he walked off with the rest of the members.

also, can Madney please get back together (eventually) ???

oh jesus fucking christ why did they show this to me, I was eating 😂🤮 tbh all the wounds, blood, bones, all that I'm fine with - but any worms and such things are just... 🤢🤢🤮🤮 *cue Dee dry heaving gif 😂*

awww Karen's mom is getting married 😭😍love that ❤️

aw Karen 😭 and now I'm crying 😢💔

Maddie is back!!!! ❤️❤️ (btw I like her nose piercing so much, it makes me think about when I was 15 and wanted one but got talked out of it by my fam... should I get a nose piercing? it's so cute)

"Is this the part of our day where we share our opinions about each other's relationships?" 🤣🤣 I love them all so much 😂😂😂

"isn't that what we all want in a partner? knowing that they have your back?" omg Ravi yaaaas 👌 not to be too buddie-obsessed but... "you can have my back any day" 👀👀👀 (sns this was literally the first thing I thought of lmao)

oh my god this scene was so fucking funny 😂 and to end it with "when did you two kiss" 😂😂😂 I'm really glad Buck's not being weird about it anymore, and I agree with Chim sns - we like Lucy 😂 also, Buck, baby, you can't avoid your problems and hope they go away lol

oh no, Bobby's doubting himself as the captain nooo 😭

that poor pregnant woman... I hope she's okay (my mind immediately went to Annalise Keating when she lost her baby and now I wanna cry)

I love Buckley siblings talks so much ❤️

okay, Amari and Cole are making me fucking cry right now

oh, wow, the "sorry you're upset" 🙂😂

"just not together" oooh wow, I loved that, I'm so happy they broke up 😂 tbh I do like Taylor - not as a person maybe, but like, I really enjoy her character - but Buck and her just don't fit - I gotta be honest, I kind of shipped them more before they got together, when they were friends, and then when they got together it was meh 😂

Eddie came to see Bobby, can't wait for that convo, but gotta stop for a sec and just say: damn, Eddie looks fucking good 🥵

oh my god, that conversation was so good, and probably just what Bobby needed, loved it so much (also, when is Eddie coming back to the 118 c'mon)

aaaaah Eddie's back at the 118!!!! the way I screamed omg 😂😂😂

okay, so

this was such a good episode, I loved every second of it (aside from the maggots, I could live without ever seeing that 🤢) I loved the Hen and Karen wedding, I loved how Eddie helped Bobby, and how Bobby's struggle was portrayed, and how Bucktaylor breakup was handled - especially that last scene when she gave him the key, and they seemed to separate on good terms more or less, and, of course, Maddie being back at the dispatch and Eddie at the 118 ❤️

it was so fucking good, I can't wait for season 6 - and I'm so excited that they got renewed yaaay ❤️❤️

[onewfantaesy]

I love the uncle Yunho story *-* I was wondering, how did Kai and Ravi react when they saw Taemin again ?

i got a lot of asks about ravi and kai lmao oops i lowkey forgot abt them but here u go. also okay i know taemin mentioned in a previous thing that key was the only one still treating taemin like a normal person, but kai and ravi tried to treat him as normally as possible as well. taemin meant more like key was the only person besides his 2 bffs who treated him normally

Taemin only saw doctors, cops, and Yunho and Jaejoong that week or so after he was kidnapped. He couldn’t play video games with only one hand available, so he couldn’t talk to Ravi or Kai through that, and it took a few days for Yunho to get him a new phone, so he couldn’t even really text them. Even if he could have, though, Taemin wasn’t talking much for a few days anyways. So the first time he saw Kai and Ravi since everything had happened was in homeroom that Monday morning.

He was sitting in his usual spot in the third desk by the window, staring at his backpack that he had on his desk, and he didn’t really want to look up and see anybody staring at or whispering about him. 

When Ravi and Kai walked into their homeroom that morning, they hadn’t even been expecting to see Taemin back, but the moment they realized he was there, they rushed over to where they usually sat in the desks in front of and next to his.

“Dude,” Kai croaked, and he dropped his backpack on the desk in front of Taemin’s to hug him around his neck.

No one in the room missed the way Taemin flinched when Kai held him, but he didn’t pull away.

“Hey,” Taemin whispered.

“Are you,” Ravi stuttered, leaning over in his desk next to Taemin’s to put his hand next to Taemin’s on his desk, “are you okay?”

“I’ll be fine,” Taemin whispered. He laughed a little, and when Kai and Ravi looked at him like hew as crazy, he muttered, “I’ll only be a cripple for a few weeks.”

It really wasn’t funny at all, it was actually really depressing, but Kai and Ravi couldn’t help but laugh with him. Kai let go of him and sat down in his own desk, but his body was turned to look at Taemin. 

“Uh, I heard you like, called the cops and shit,” Taemin mumbled, not looking at either or them. “So, uh, thanks, I guess.”

“Not like it did a whole lot,” Ravi said under his breath, but Taemin just turned to him.

“It’s better than nothing,” Taemin said. “Whatever. What’d I miss, anyways? Anyone pregnant or some shit?”

Kai snorted, “Nah, but guess what? Amber was totally crying over you and shit.”

“What, really?” Taemin grinned, sitting up in his seat. “Like, legit tears? No fucking way.”

“Totally started crying in the middle of math when she realized you weren’t sitting next to her,” Ravi said. 

Taemin smirked, put his right hand over his chest, and leaned back in his seat.

“I cannot wait for second period,” Taemin said, laughing. “Do you think she’ll cry when she sees me? Should I say hi to her?”

“Please say hi to her,” Kai begged. 

“Do you think she likes he?” Taemin hissed, leaning forward.

Kai and Ravi both shrugged at him with dumb, smug smirks on their faces.

“I mean, she definitely doesn’t not like you,” Ravi said. 

“Holy. Shit,” Taemin breathed out.

When the bell rang for them to go to first period, Kai didn’t even say anything before he just grabbed Taemin’s stuff and carried it for him. Taemin was a little annoyed, because he didn’t want people thinking he couldn’t do stuff for himself, but it was pretty nice not having to carry all his shit with only one arm.

“I’ll see you guys in math,” Ravi said. “Please wait for me to get there before you say anything to Amber. Please.”

“No promises,” Taemin teased him, and he and Kai walked off to their first class while Ravi went in the other direction.

Taemin’s face turned down into a frown when he realized how many people in the hallways were pointing and whispering at him, but Kai just shoved his way through them to make a path for Taemin. When they sat down in their first period class, Kai turned to face Taemin again.

“So can you, like, not play video games or anything until you get your hand back?” Kai asked.

They both heard a lot of people gasp around them, and Taemin almost snorted when he thought that maybe they thought he was literally missing a hand.

“Not unless you want our team to be even shittier than usual,” Taemin laughed. “I’m outta commission for, like, a few weeks.”

“Damn,” Kai muttered, but he turned back to Taemin with a smile. “Well, you can always come over to my place and we can play on the Wii. You only need one hand for that.”

“Okay, yeah,” Taemin agreed, nodding his head. “If my uncle says it’s cool, we should do it.”

“Nice,” Kai said. “I’ll ask my mom if you and Ravi can come over this weekend. Maybe you guys can just come over Friday after school.”

“I’ll ask my uncle,” Taemin said.

When second period came around, Ravi was out of breath as he rushed inside and asked Kai and Taemin if he missed Taemin saying hi to Amber.

“She’s not even here yet, dude,” Taemin scoffed, slouching in his desk.

Ravi nodded and sat down in his seat behind Taemin, and Kai was sitting in the seat behind Amber’s. When Amber walked through the door, Taemin smirked at her, and she put her hand to her mouth.

“Hey, Amber,” he said, trying not to laugh.

“Oh my God, Taemin,” she said, her voice cracking.

She rushed over and hugged him, and Taemin turned a horrified, confused expression to Kai, who was trying to stifle his laughter.

“Are you alright?” she asked, but then she scoffed at herself. “That was so stupid to ask, oh my God, I’m so sorry, I just - oh my God, Taemin.”

“Uh, there there?” Taemin said in an awkward voice, patting her back slowly.

It was awkward, and it was a little annoying when she told him that if he needed anything like help on homework or notes from what he missed that she would help him, but he realized she was just trying to be nice, so he didn’t snap at her or anything. It was just annoying that he couldn’t tell if she liked him or felt sorry for him. Or worse, both.

NY Auditions #2 & Not Vegas #1

Magda and Kiki: They are so awkward lmao. Why does Nigel always have to ask dance partners if they’re dating? Stop. All that being said, that was probably my favorite ballroom audition thus far. They have a lot of chemistry, and I just love cha-chas in general. I think I like Kiki a little better than Magda tho.

Hey, haven’t we seen Allen before? I feel like I remember him from a previous auditon cycle.

Zachary Downer: I don’t remember him at all. He must not have been shown before. His flexibility is out of this world, and he has really good musicality. I’m a little over the hyper aggressive animal contemporary auditons that we see all the time, but I would love to see him do Sonya’s choreography or something.

Ramita Ravi: That was really cool! She has really good control, but I think I would have liked to see more. I feel like she was just getting started when Nigel stopped her. I think they should have sent her straight to Not-Vegas since she’s clearly classically trained, but what do I know.

Peter Mangione: I’m scared. I hope he’s secretly amazing. Oh my god. Okay he’s not. Why are they showing this. Why. I’m so embarrassed for him. Please stop. He’s literally doing bad cartwheels omg why. @_@ But you know what? I’m glad that the judges aren’t mean to people who are bad anymore. At least there’s that.

Arielle Disciascio: She and her mom look like the same person. So she’s really talented and has a lot of control, but I don’t think I liked that very much? I agreed that Nigel sent her to choreography, but I’m not mad that she went to Not-Vegas. I just wanted to see her try to emote a little better and do something more than lift her leg maybe. 

Romainson Romain: (Is that his real name? Omg.) Okay, so I’m normally not into the sob stories before auditions, but I really felt that performance. When he did the pirouettes and then did the flares?? I completely agreed with what Vanessa said about wanting to take the sadness off of him. For once, I wasn’t mad at Mary for crying and I love what she told him. 

Claire Rathburn: Oooh, a ballerina. K, so the music sounds like Irish river dancing and I don’t know how I feel about that lol. She was also like “my personality is huge!!!” and then didn’t show any of it in the dance. I kinda wish she wouldn’t have said that beforehand. I like her though.

Lex Ishimoto: K, I think he wins the New York auditions. It’s so nice to see a style fusion that actually fuses styles! You can tell that he’s always aware of the music. And when he did that...what do you even call it, when he just like...jumped and landed on his toes, what the hell was that. Put him in the top 10 now.

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

This opening to Not Vegas is super extra. Did they do this last year with the kids? It’s pretty cool that everyone got to take part in something big before the cuts start, though. I especially enjoyed the tap dancing and the ballroom sections.

Logan Hernandez: What sort of song...lmao. I thought my headphones broke. The way this kid moves his body is wild, though. Like what was even half of that. You know he’s not going anywhere.

So do they have to pick someone in their style? Because Gaby has like 5 people to choose from if that’s the case lol. K, so it was really fucked up that they cut Tristan by himself. He does disappear behind Jensen, but most people would, to be fair. 

Lex Ishimoto: Is he my favorite? He might be. Good lord. EVERYTHING HE DOES IS AMAZING. HE’S SO CLEAN. HE’S SO FAST. I can’t deal with him. I will be legit upset if he doesn’t make it. (Though I feel like they’ll fight over him unless he totally sucks at something. Which I doubt.)

Kristina and Vasily: So my question is, what is it gonna be like when they don’t dance with each other? It kind of seems like most of their charm is dancing together tbh.That being said, I liked that wayyyy better than their audition.

Ryan Bailey: Omg this guy. I have to know what they’ll say. Why did he pick this fucking song though. Dude. I’m not even gonna lie, I had severe secondhand embarrassment watching that. I understand that he’s doing his own thing, but...no thanks. 

Sad about Romainson. :(

Kaylee better be good at hip-hop or I’ll be upset. She’s still my other favorite. AND SHE’S GOOD. YES. Dassy was also awesome, but Kiki...yeah no. Sorry bro. There were people straight up doing other shit during some of those rounds lmao. 

KEVIN PICK COMFORT. PICK HER. PICK--oh damn it. But Allison was a smart choice, I’m not mad. 

Dassy should pick Cyrus! Pick Cyrus! But alright, I get the Fik-shun pick. Nobody is going to do what I say, huh?

Logan should pick Robert. Damn it. Of course he didn’t listen and picked Allison. 

Kaylee picking Cyrus was a little odd, but I can see why she did that. Poor Robert though lmao.

I knew everybody was gonna fight over Lex lol. His Gaby pick was a little weird. I figured he would go with like Alison or Jasmine or somebody.

Robert is clearly getting desperate lol. I don’t remember who this Sydney girl is, but I woulda picked Paul too lmao.

I love Comfort lol. Good choice Mark.

...I don’t know how I feel about them keeping Kiki. I feel Jenna on not wanting to give up the talent, though. he really is amazing at what he does.

#iZombie Season 3 Episode 12 "Looking for Mr. Goodbrain, Part 1," Recap/Review

Behold the second to last episode of the season and there are still so many questions!

Was Vivian actually killed in the helicopter crash? Who killed Wally and his family? How is the Weckler case connected to everything? 

and... just what exactly is Chace Graves up to besides looking incredibly hot?

Last week we found out Harley John’s was turned into a zombie during the scuffle and this week we join him in his bunker where Clive and Liv have secured him and are trying to feed him brains. He’s resistant to acting like the monster he's been turned into- but finally gives in which allows Major to knock him out so they can freeze him until they figure out what to do with him.

Over at the lab, Ravi shows Liv the front page with her face on it. Granted it’s a low-level trash rag but it’s enough to make Liv panic. Ravi gets a sudden visit from Katty, his old boss from the CDC, who is concerned about the article and lets him know as Liv hides under the desk. Katty tells Ravi not to focus on the silly zombie stuff, which apparently got him fired from his last job, and to focus on the new Aleutian Flu virus that’s becoming an epidemic.

Meanwhile, it seems every season is crap on Major season. This guy just cannot catch a break! We all know that Fillmore Graves is the only place the “chaos killer” feels safe ever since "Shady Shawna" posted all his goodies on the internet. Of course, Chace Graves has discovered he is not a zombie and Major gets fired. THANK GOD! Luckily, his boys do not turn against him and decide to throw him one last bro-bash!

“You might be human, but you’re one of the good ones!” -Justin

Peyton and Liv discuss the Weckler case and Liv’s new notoriety.

“A cute monster!” -Peyton (referring to Liv's cover girl look)

Which leads us to the unveiling of OG Liv!

Over at the lab, Liv is running late and Rachel (ugh) pays a visit to Ravi, actually trying to get more information out of him! The nerve of that girl! Ravi tries to get rid of her so she doesn’t see Liv but luckily, Liv arrives tanned and dyed!

The brains of the week arrive and at the crime scene, much to Ravi’s horror, the body of  his old boss Katty, the one that paid him a visit earlier is discovered. She was bludgeoned on the head and stabbed around the corner from a hotel that she possessed a key card to. Let the investigation begin!

Liv wants to know if there is anything weird she needs to know about Katty before she makes her tasty treat. Ravi says nothing except she might find herself attracted to him…Ravi had previously had some hate sex with her a few times.

“So much for nothing weird!” -Liv

Clive brings in Katty’s work things-she was in Seattle working on this flu outbreak thing. Apparently, much of her work is done in bars considering the amount of writing on cocktail napkins. Mostly she had been interviewing people on a flight from Paris to Seattle and there were four passengers she had not finished so it’s off to work for these three.

Ravi in concerned the outbreak may be cause by bio-terrorism and we learn Clive is a MAJOR germaphobe. It’s hilarious!

As they interview the first passenger, Liv gets a vision! It’s literally the best vision ever because it’s of sex-WITH RAVI! #teamravioli (look it up if you don’t get the reference). Awkward!

As sexy as Ravi is, I can see why Liv is disgusted!

The fun continues and she proceeds to gets another one and then she cannot dare look at him anymore.

“Oh, please for the love of all things good and holy just make this stop!” -Liv

The interview continues and we get some racist remarks about a passenger next to her being like Ravi (brown). Of course, when they bring him in he is like a pussycat. They interview him but now Ravi is forced to stand at the back of the room with Clive.

Over at Peyton’s office, Barracus offers Peyton his Chief of Staff position. Mostly because he knows that she knows about the existence of zombies. She is hesitant because she still thinks he might be a murderer but he manages to lower her suspicion.

Over at sulking Major’s, he receives a text from the beautiful Natalie who happens to be in town.

She asks him to meet him at the space needle, but she turns up at his front door wearing a "Chaos Killer" T-shirt and looking smokin’ per usual. Dare we be happy for Major again in hopes his luck will turn around?

“Oh, come on, like I’d be seen at the Space Needle with the Chaos Killer?” -Natalie

Anytime we see a smile like this it never turns out well for him.

So, of course, they sit on the couch and catch up on everything. Natalie thanks Major for saving her and I am sure is about to thank him properly here in the next half hour.

She is gorgeous…

Liv is out looking for clues while dressed to the nines at the hotel bar where Katty was staying. The brains she is on have made her into quite the flirt and she loses her head for a minute and almost goes to bed with a random guy at the bar! Liv!

Back at the lab, Liv still won’t look at Ravi while they are working.

“It’s not my fault we brain banged!” -Ravi        

Peyton stops by to inform Liv of her new offer and Liv encourages it.

Liv heads out to the hotel bar again and chats up a warm body. I am guessing Katty was not too picky about her conquests. She almost goes to his room as well but luckily stops herself. She calls up Justin to solidify their relationship status.

“I’ve been meaning to tell you…we’re zombies.” -Justin

After helping Natalie move, Major gets a rub down from Natalie and pulls a "Raider’s of the Lost Ark" move…nice one Major!

It works and Major and Natalie plan a happy future after she invites him to live with her in Italy. Happy ending?

Over at Harley’s compound, his idiot friends have let his body out of the ice box not knowing he is a zombie. He defrosts on the couch while they watch the news and…I don’t see this ending well for them.

And it doesn’t…

Clive takes Liv to the bar Katty frequented, hoping to spark a vision. She doesn’t tell him she’s been a bar fly there for the past few days but it becomes obvious when she is recognized. Clive doesn’t seem to notice but Liv does realize what she has been doing, and why, when she discovers Katty goes home with a different man every night.

Clive interview the last passenger and discovers a man switched seats with a man in coach so he could sit with his wife. It turns out to be the very seat Katty has scribbled on a cocktail napkin, 17D. Bingo!

Meanwhile, Major's going away party is in full swing and Liv is supposed to meet Justin there but the brain she’s on has other plans.

She actually tries to leave the bar when this happens…

Enough said!

So, the two have flirty drinks and Liv is acting like quite the little seductress. This time she doesn’t have to resist the urges because Chace is a zombie too. So of course, she doesn’t resist and honestly-I can’t blame her!

Meanwhile, Clive has discovered who was sitting in 17D-it just happens to be a friend of zombie child Tatum Weckler. Not only that, Patrice (the passenger on the Paris flight), also happens to be the daughter of Fillmore Graves brass, Carey Gold. This is just too much of a coincidence so I am guessing it’s NOT!

Back at party central, Major is being toasted in the sweetest way before Justin asks to talk to him outside. He’s worried about where Liv might be and well, he really should be.

Back in Chace’s room Liv is feeling a little guilty.

To quote my friend Allyson Alford, “this episode is worth it for the shot of Jason brushing his teeth alone.”

In lieu of more of my boring description of how incredible sexy Jason Dohring (Chace Graves) is, here are some photos for your viewing pleasure…

Chace chats as Liv starts to gather herself to leave. He even tells her he has been thinking about her since the Barracus fundraiser.

But Liv finds a cocktail napkin with Katty’s name and room number written down so…what the hell? Could Chace be the killer? I think Fillmore Graves is behind it.

Mmmm…tough to resist THAT offer!

Back at the party, the boys grow suspicious of a random dude drinking beer that does not seem to belong.

Turns out it’s Harley, fresh off his brain feed and ready to do some damage via suicide vest.

“Zombies are an abomination, that’s what we are abominations!” -Harley

And with that he blows the entire party into teeny bits-Major and Justin are still outside but everyone else (including a bunch of soldiers and Natalie) is inside when it happens.

Talk about going out with a bang!

I know its wishful thinking, but I hope Natalie got out someway! 

To be continued…

Episode Rating: 9 out of 10.

I want to give it a 10, but I am going 9. Only because I wanted to see more Ravi visions (although these was probably too much to cover in this episode so why not a longer season???) and Blaine was not in it which is always a minus in my book!

[bookreadalongs]

Wow, Lara J, I Get You

15:49 5/8/2017

85. All cutesy and smiles on the outside, but on the inside bitter thought. “I guess she didn’t think a girl like me could really shine at UVA.” 86. “He’s a Potter person, like us.” I thought it said “like the rest of us” and I was like yes! 87. I feel like Ravenclaw would suit Margot, but that’s because she’s a Ravenclaw…probably. LJ’s…very creative, but probably hufflepuff. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was Gryffindor…actually, she’s very scared about a lot of things. I don’t think she lets fear rule her life, but I think it does affect it (naturally) to a degree that she wouldn’t be Gryffindor. I’d love for Ravi to be Slytherin. Yo, where’s Josh going to school? 88. Dad didn’t think Margot would be the hardest to please, I bet. Lara Jean always chirps on about her mother. Margot did have he most time with her though… 91. I love the way they talk about their family. LJ said earlier– Tumblr is doing it again. Anyway, I’ll ignore it right now, just focusing on not making typos that I can’t see. LJ said they were a Butter in the fridge family. Same. Now, Margot says they are not a Fresca family. Love it. I never thought of our family this way, but everyone has their quirks. Family’s as a whole certainly do.

I can’t handle this. 15:59 can’t see

16:23 102. Me. I’m probably And Peggy, but I’d rather not condemn myself that way. 106. I remember how much I wanted Tia there when I found a prom dress…goodness gracious Tumblrr. Okay, I’ll switch to desktop 16:28 16:32 114. Okay, I caved. Peter is included in the proposal though! Like, woah! Would it be overkill if she said no? Like LJ’s rejection? She won’t though…just all of these expectations, planning the future around assumptions 116. AHHHHH I CAN’T THAT IS SO NICE PETER AND KITTY 121. That’s so embarrassing. I thought KITTY called her Tree because she was tall… 16:56 I suck. I read the last paragraph. It was perfect. By the last paragraph, I mean the last two pages basically. Mom basically said to postpone making dinner. I will for half an hour to an hour. 7:29 138. LJ…she’s so cute. It doesn’t annoy me at all that she’s pretty. She’s just…she’s a good one to be pretty. 140. Literal same. I’m so there. Draft talk is always like wat. I tried to look it up a few times. I feel like I got caught reading about other countries or something. 140-141. He’s so cute. So young. So full of life and promise. AHHH SAME LARA JEAN 141. He’s so cute and perceptive. 143. I totally had those thoughts. In his twenties that I may never get to meet. 146. I just remembered that cliche thing is what I say. Cliches are cliches for a reason. I hope Chris remembers LJ’s birthday 147. I love it. 148. Will KITTY and Owen….?? 151. HAHAHAHAH WOW FACE MASKS?! 153. Oh, I’ve been wanting to watch that for years! Because…Burdge 156. See, right now I don’t relate to Lara Jean much at all. I would not be this hands on in a wedding during school, I don’t think. I wonder if the Asian heritage subconsciously plays a role for me I wonder if Tia saying asians were weird in my childhood made a difference for me. Lily wasn’t. Tia liked Lily a lot…she also appreciated nicer people. I don’t know. I know I’m more easily jealous of another Asian than others…I just want to break down all of my walls of prejudice 159. I love this exchange “Sure, but I could’ve had that idea on my own, you know. You should at least give me a chance to have ideas.” I pay him on the knee. “Just please don’t forget.” 160. Dang. I forgot they were related. I thought he just volunteered too. Sneaking out and playing in the snow…so sweet. 161. I’m not entirely sure who sent that text. 162. Oh right. I wish we got to see Margot Meeting Stormy. I have been thinking about writing and don’t know how to avoid the boring parts…but JHan just skips them. If their too rudimentary and have little purpose, just don’t include them. They need to contribute to the story. 163. The offer, true offer, is what counts for me too. I can be furious or ready to cry, and someone can say, I’m sorry. I can __ and suddenly I’m all good. Because that’s all I needed. A genuine offer to clean the dish or do this or that, then I’ll do it anyway…because all I was ever really searching for was the offer. - for a second I thought she’d rethink and go to school in Richmond. Probs not though 164. Wow. A year ago. We missed most of LJ’s senior year. I want to know what she did. Mostly spend it with Peter? Go to those parties? 167. WHAT WHAT WHAT?! WAT WAT. WHAAAAAT? I always pictured John Ambrose McClaren as a really smart dude destined for…I don’t know…an Ivy, I guess. Love it. 168. LJ is just too darn relatable sometimes. I swear, she can appeal to such a great audience. “I say it like I don’t remember her name, even though I do, I mean, I just heard him say it two minutes ago.” 19:10 My potato pancakes are a struggle. They were supposed to be a quick easy dinner… 180. I get that. Knowing someone so well… 181. Lip jut out. Awwww 182. I wish I went to after prom…in Shaker I wish I had Tia’s high school life 183. But Chris knew she’d spend time with LJ during her birthday after all 184. AHHH IT IS ALMOST CHEATING USING ALL THESE CUTESY MOVIE CLICHES BUT I LOVE IT 185. Little lines that are vague and obvious, but hit you are why I like Jenny Han. “I guess that’s part of growing up too–saying goodbye to the things you used to love.” Ah, so that’s why she wished to always love Peter as much as she did in that moment. I guess John Green’s thing that Ryan loved and bought was so deep about funerals being for the living is also…like what I love. The cliches authors know teenagers and anyone– I feel like I’ll love this later in life too, will love because they feel that tug of authenticity in the quote. You can connect to it by thinking of a particular feeling or memory even though the line wasn’t explicitly written for you. 190. He doesn’t say anything because he hasn’t broken t to her that they will not have all summer because DI lax or because they only have summer? 191. Leaving high school…damn that would’ve been crazy in Shaker 193. I let the breathing thing slide even though I thought it was funny. Kitty saying let’s not get carried away made me actually laugh though. This book has the most feminine cover and coloring ever 196. This is the first time Chris has been more of a good thing than a bad thing I feel like. I would do this. 197. I know Peter will try to call as your phone is dead. He’ll be all but LJ doesn’t let her phone die! Wat is going on 199. Tell him that. Text him rather than being spiteful! I’m always spiteful though 201. She definitely plays the role of introvert well, but…I don’t know. People can be introverted and just not be as socially anxious I guess. 204. Chris’ big attitude and talk are coming down now…it’s refreshing. 206. Another use of the phrase “it’s cliche for a reason” 208. This is a great page. It gave me chills. A genuine connection between Lara Jean and her future step mom. Differentiating her life from Peter…laughter from lack of sleep. Matriarchy 211. Oh goody! I’d love for them not to go to a party too! 213. As my Dear Evan Hansen would say, we start with stars in our eyes…Peters have deflated a little 214. Wow, Virginia Tech? Aren’t tech schools harder? Is Gen like smart? 216. Lols me as a girlfriend. Literal the shitty parts of me as a girlfriend 217. Why is he a dick? For getting drunk? That’s certainly part of it. Not being completely happy? Fair, but, yes, dickish. He seems to have changed a lot since dating her though. I don’t think she realizes that. 218. Hahaha love him - A truth universially acknowledged that a man with a fortune must be in want of a wife? Or something like that. It’s been a few years. 3? 220. I laughed again at “Do I need to explain to you guys again about Silpat versus parchment paper?” “We got it.” Hahaha her share of cookies 222. Hahah “Hey, I’m built.” 225. HAHAHA THE LONG CON. GOTTA GET PETER ON YOUR SIDE 227. Does Jenny Han also follow Burdge? Or are all of these coincidences (okay, two, Amelie and tread softly because you tread on my dreams) 229. That’s sweet 232. I just realized Jenny Han sneakily maneuvered back to the beach. @TheSummerITurnedPretty 233. Those trying very hard to be relatable lines…not being able to find a hair tie when you need one 234. High school being a time to remember for the rest of your life…. 20:04 Gotta make food. Not feeling reading anymore. 20:28 236. IT can be hard bringing up snooping. It's because he lied. Lies suck 238. Feelingly? -basketball hoop heist? @barneystinson 241. WOAH HOW DID I NEVER GET THAT SHE WENT TO CAMILLA'S SCHOOL? I guess...if it's been two years since this came out, and I read the second one reasonably before Camilla told me I could've forgotten. Still. Bad friend move 243. Eek is right. She's trying 246. Woah. That's something KITTY would say. Ruthless That's an interesting take on why it's better to be in a fight rather than passive aggressive pensiveness 247. KITTY THAT IS SO SWEET! No one would've been able to tell Kitty to do that. That's the cutest thing ever 248. Oh, Peter 250. LJ is so endearing 253. That's so cute. Lara Jean liked Kitty's nose earlier 256. They're both understandably petty. 257. Good ol' John Ambrose McClaren 258. I wish we got to see that talk of LJ being the star of that costume...now that I think about it...he always does let her be the star WAIT WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO THE BEACH? DID IT ALREADY HAPPEN?! THERE IS SO LITTLE BOOK LEFT! I was content at the end of PS I still love you. I so will not be content now. I feel like that has less to do with the books than my state of being 259. Wtf you took your grandmother to karaoke and we didn't get to see that? I feel jypped Oh good. Somehow I knew Beach Week hadn't happened yet. Time just jumps sometimes in these books. 20:53 20:10 262. Oh, Lara Jean, so romantic. I wish I was like that 269. Hahaha John Ambrose McClaren is so cute. What a rabbit 270. JHan is totally trying to make him cute too "still holding the carrot" What the BUT? He was going to her school, then she goes to the school he planned to transfer to? They just have weird, but many similarities. It's why he's so cute. Because she's so cute He's genuinely happy for her doing what he couldn't 274. Just don't be too offended when he doesn't eat it because diet. Also, how can you be so skinny, LJ? 276. LJ is very confident...she's a good role model. Good job, Jenny Han 277. She understands a layer of someone who she loves more than life itself be away 278. He really respects her 21:24 21:28 279. I love him. I love his precautions. I love that he literally jumped away when she said wait Have they ever even been half unclothed? 280. He's so reassuring 285. Woah. PETER OH MY GOSH YOU ARE SO RECKLESS AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN TREACHEROUS. YOU STILL HAVE STARS IN YOUR EYES. YOU ARE SO CUTE 289. It's so hard. It truly is. 290. The house feels small. Rather than big. With her feeling so small That's the most younger sister thing I have ever heard. "Margot and I are on the same level, and you're on the level below us because, you're the youngest." Lara Jean is that bridge. Perks of middle child...though I frequently see the oldest and youngest with stronger relationships because they just don't have friction as much 293. That's nice that Margot noticed. I get not telling her. Tia is great, gives wonderful advice...but sometimes I feel like she doesn't completely listen to me when she has made up her mind...or that she talks down to me if she does listen 294. Pigtails? LJ is childish sometimes 299. One drink? Yeah...I can't do that Ah, yes. The drunk slight cop out 302. I mean, all of that does make sense in his perspective. 303. Wow. What a good moment for Margot and Trina to make amends, or start to, right before the wedding 304. I love that this was her first hang over. I realized this whole book I've been nervous she was going to just let loose at some party. This kind of makes sense 305. Why does Kitty know? 308. These children are all so privileged. To think she could get anything she needs...on the spur 309. Yeah....that's the thing about growing up. Nothing will ever be the same 310. Is it normal to only have one or two friends from high school? I guess so... 311. I just had real flashbacks to too much frosting during OL...asking about f it was homemade. I would've made it. I was talked out of it. If everything went how I thought it would and should....I guess I'll never know if I ever could've 316. I read that as ice cream. I was like interesting for a wedding 317. Ahh my heart. Tears actually formed. He was so scared. She gave him the scrapbook or break up... 320. I love how uncertain that is. Jenny Han knows that. "With all the certainty only a teenage boy can have" 321. Wow. I love it. I love him. He's so imperfect. Why only tell us this now? I was just wondering when she got it back 322. AHHH NOW SHE'S LEAVING TO COLLEGE?! I guess...this is already so subtle and contemporary. The only times it shows are little times of conflict. She showed all of the cutesy in the beginning to convince us all of their love...I feel like I need to reread the first one mow..this is so sad That's totally the point. A chapter ending. I wonder if this was sad for Jenny Han 324. The dream. My dream. Marrying my childhood best friend...that's Jack though. He's crazy. He's a star. Tia says he's gay. Wouldn't put it past him. He's amazing, but I just don't think I will ever feel that way. I mean, I totally did kindergarten and fourth grade, but...he's not my best friend anymore... I forgot so much. I should've reread them all before reading this. I remember he got that brooch or something for her from his mom's store...but don't remember everything. 325. Wow. I know I read it earlier. I read it preemptively like a little brat. This was a really good book. It was different...powerful. The other books were cute. I loved them in that way. The one that got away. Josh. They weren't relatable for me. I loved them. Jenny Han plays the being able to love them, but love Peter more extremely well. I have to say, though I always think this after reading something new that I like...5 stars. Maybe 4.85. I love it. It's so cute. It's not 100% relatable, but it is somewhat, and it's great in ways that it's not relatable. Throwback when it was too perfect, and I was unsure about it. Look how far we've come. That was a perfect ending. I love Jenny Han so much. I love it all. The fact that they're still so close...that they can go home on three day weekends...I ache for that...but...it's good for them. It really is. I went to Barnes and noble for the last time today. Well, the last time here. I sneakily took a picture of Jenny's Q and A in the B&N exclusive version. I felt very...wrong doing it. I looked over my shoulder, quickly did it, then quickly put the book back...I am so bad at being bad. It was just the question of what LJ's wedding song with Peter would be and what her wedding song with JAM would be. Wow. Gotta love those initials. At Last was perfect. They are so good for each other...truly soul mates in another life. Well, he probably is transferring to UNC...no. Peter and LJ though. They can do it. Please? I love that this is where it ends. It feels ended. It's such a good place to end it. They still have stars in their eyes. They never really fought. This will be different. 4 hours though...no...like 3.5...that's so reasonable. They can do it. 22:24 22:25 OKAY AHHHHHHH! I went to read the playlist again (for about the fourth or fifth time, I know. I suck) and it ended with Frank Ocean...because, well, sex. Love it. Sneaky. Okay...I think it's really done now...I will make some of the sweets in the back sometimes. Pour one out for LJ and her sweet tooth and her sweet relationships with her family and Peter. 22:26

[onewfantaesy]

is there ever an obnoxious underclassman (or more than one) who keep harassing taekai even after they try to make it stop? also is there ever a time where taemin and kai snap at a homophobic teacher or anything?

“Heh, look, it’s the queer.”

“What the fuck did you just call me?” Taemin snapped, turning to the group of freshmen passing by his locker. 

None of them said anything, probably not having realized how loud they were being despite the constant buzz of voices that hummed in the air of the hallways. Taemin’s right hand was gripping the door of his locker, his left hand still digging through his lunch bag to pick out the tangerines he was going to eat during morning break that just started.

“What the fuck did you just call me, you stupid little cunts?” Taemin repeated, pulling out the baggy of tangerines and slamming his locker closed.

“We called you a queer,” one of them said, trying to square his shoulders back. “Because that’s what you are, you and your boyfriend.”

“I’m sorry, is this the fucking 70s? Who the fuck still calls people queers?” Taemin spat. Taemin scoffed and walked through their little group, being sure to slam his left arm against the little leader’s shoulder. “Whatever, you dumb little fucks. Get lost, or I’ll smash your faces in next time.”

Taemin went to go sit at his lunch table with the rest of his friends, and he let out a long breath as he opened the baggy in his hands and told them about what happened.

“Fucking freshmen,” Kai mumbled, wrapping an arm around Taemin’s shoulders. “Just ignore them, they’re stupid. Gimme a piece.”

Taemin held up one of the slices in front of Kai’s mouth, but he snatched it back and ate it himself right as Kai opened his mouth.

“Asshole,” Kai teased him, squeezing his shoulders tighter. Taemin just laughed and held another one up, actually letting Kai eat it this time.

Taemin was pleased when he didn’t have any run-ins with the freshmen for the rest of the day, but at break the next day, they walked by Taemin and Kai’s lunch table.

Taemin had dragged his feet to the table not even five minutes earlier complaining about how tired he was. He moaned and groaned and whined until Kai pulled off his Letterman jacket and gave it to him.

“I’m gonna take a nap,” Taemin sang, lying down on the bench and resting his head on his backpack that he placed on Kai’s lap. “Don’t wake me up unless the world’s ending.”

“I’ll wake you up when the bell rings,” Kai promised, laying the jacket over Taemin’s shoulders and stroking his hair.

“Oh, gross, the fags are blowing each other,” a voice called from behind them, and Kai turned to see a group of freshmen standing a few feet away.

“What the hell?” Kai asked, quickly getting angry. “He’s fucking sleeping, you dumbfucks. Go away.”

“What the fuck,” Taemin groaned as he pushed back the jacket he was using as a blanket and sat up. 

He didn’t even get a full three minutes to try and take a nap. What a waste of a perfectly comfortable position.

“Just go back to sleep,” Kai whispered. “Ignore them, they’ll get bored and go away.”

Taemin groaned again and just plopped his head right back onto Kai’s lap. He stayed up until three in the morning writing an essay last night, he was not putting up with this shit right now.

Kai went back to stroking Taemin’s hair, and Taemin let out a content sigh as he closed his eyes. He could hear the freshmen behind them still talking and muttering to themselves, but they did seem to get bored when Taemin and Kai just ignored them.

It wasn’t until the next week when Taemin dragged himself to his locker before homeroom that he was truly pissed. Someone had taped very crudely drawn stick figures of himself and Kai fucking each other in the ass and sucking each other’s dicks to his locker, and he knew exactly who did it. As if the fact that it was Monday wasn’t bad enough, now Taemin’s mood was just completely sour. He ripped the papers off his locker, glared at everyone standing around staring and taking pictures, and threw them in the trash. 

“It’s fucking Baekhyun and Chanyeol all over again,” Taemin grumbled as he leaned beside Kai’s locker five minutes later. 

There had been drawings on Kai’s locker as well, but Kai had taken pictures of it before he tore them down. 

“I’m gonna go to the office before homeroom,” Kai mumbled. “This is just fucking ridiculous.”

Taemin rolled his eyes, muttered under his breath about how useless the office ladies would be, and he leaned against Kai’s side when he felt Kai put an arm around his shoulders.

“I’m not awake enough to deal with this shit,” Taemin sighed, rubbing a hand over his face. “I should’ve bought a coffee before I got here.”

“You should’ve told me you were so tired,” Kai said, rubbing his hand up and down Taemin’s arm. “I have, like, half a coffee in my locker. I’ll give it you before homeroom.”

“I love you,” Taemin mumbled, squeezing his arms around Kai’s tummy. 

“Love you, too,” Kai muttered, kissing the side of his head.

Taemin’s eyes were drooping, and he let his head fall against Kai’s shoulder once they got down the stairs. He closed his eyes, and Kai led him towards the office so they could try to figure out what to do about these annoying little freshmen.

“I’m afraid if you have no proof of who put these pictures on your locker, there’s nothign we can really do,” the Dean told them when she came out to speak with them.

“Told you they were useless,” Taemin sang under his breath to Kai.

“Okay, whatever,” Kai sighed. 

“If it happens again, though, be sure to let us know,” the Dean said.

“Yeah, yeah,” Taemin scoffed, and the two were already walking out of the office. Once they were outside the office doors, Taemin squeezed Kai’s middle again and smiled lazily up at him, looking at him through half-lidded eyes, “Where was that coffee you said I could have?”

Kai laughed, hugged Taemin close to him, and led him back up to his locker. The half-empty Starbucks cup was still warm, and Taemin held it in both of his hands as he sipped on it. 

They were waiting outside of their homeroom class, Taemin still sipping Kai’s coffee and pressing himself against Kai’s chest. They were just talking together, partially about a party they went to at Krystal’s place the Saturday before and also about the English project they had due on Friday when they heard a bunch of gagging noises off to the side. They turned and saw the same group of freshmen pointing fingers at them, making faces, and calling them names.

“Oh don’t you have anything better to do?” Taemin groaned, leaning more heavily against Kai’s side. “Why do freshmen always have so much time to be fucking idiots?”

“Who knows,” Kai grumbled, tightening his hold on Taemin.

When the freshmen all made grunting noises a moment later, they turned back and saw Ravi pushing his way through them and telling them to get lost.

“Hey, we’re meeting at my place to work on the English project today, right?” Ravi asked them.

“Yeah, dude, it’s due Friday,” Taemin mumbled, closing his eyes and nuzzling the side of his head into Kai’s shoulder. “We’re not even halfway done with it yet. We gotta finish it, like, today.”

The freshmen left once all Taemin, Kai, and Ravi started talking about was their English project, and Kai sighed into Taemin’s hair when he realized they left.

When they started calling them faggots after school, though, Kai just sighed and let go of Taemin’s shoulders to let him deal with them. 

“Alright, you little cunts, I fucking warned you,” Taemin told them, and Kai held his backpack for him while Taemin punched the little leader and made an example of him. 

He left the kid folded up on the ground hugging his stomach outside the upstairs boys’ bathroom, and Kai just put his arm around Taemin’s shoulders again to walk him to the student parking lot.

The freshmen left them alone after that.
