hi ate congrats! pa-request ng 003 with taehyung? tapos phantom of the opera au kung kaya. thanks! <33

003. "Love me. I'm cold." + kim taehyung

— Kim Taeyung always hated the cold.

word count: 830 contents: ANGST, loosely based on Phantom of the Opera (both movie and novel), childhood friend!Jeon Jungkook to the rescue, (Y/N) developed a bit of a Stockholm Syndrome for a moment yikes, YOU ARE OF AGE (unlike Christine 😭) toxic, possessive behavior, major character death, Yandere AU  pairing: kim taehyung x reader

[masterlist] | check out more of [Four Years with Mira]!

A/N: Thank you so much!~ ✋😭💖💓💕 I’m so glad you joined! 🥳 I’m gonna be honest, I didn’t think of making “Love me. I’m cold.” into an ANGSTY yandere abomination and I also never fully watched Phantom of the Opera until this, but I gOTTA DELIVER!! Sana nagustuhan mo AAAAAAA

P.S. Repeat after me, lovelies. NO YANDERES IRL. THIS IS FICTION.

Time and fate are an unfathomable pair in how much they've changed life for you in the past months.

How, in spite of having gone your separate ways, you're once again entangled with a familiar face from your childhood. 

How, in spite of having been nothing but a background piece to the magnificent opera house for years, you're suddenly thrust into the limelight.  

How, in spite of having fallen for the angel of music, you're now faced with the fact that he had been a demon all along. 

"Taehyung, please!"

Catacombs ran deep beneath the city, labyrinthine halls that drove you mad as you ran through them in a desperate search for familiar faces. The white gown you had worn for the play was now tattered, sodden with the cistern's murky waters and smudged with dirt, and grime—and yet, that doesn't stop you from running towards the phantom and the vicomte as soon as you saw them. 

After having enough of the people that got in his way, Taehyung hunted the derelict halls beneath the opera house for Jeon Jungkook, your childhood friend, and now here they were. The two of them were locked in a battle, and though Jungkook was of a larger build than him, Taehyung seemed to have exhausted him enough for him to be winning over the young vicomte.  

"Taehyung!" your voice shakes as you call out his name immediately. 

Through the mask that covers his face, there's an immediate shift in his eyes, stone cold, murderous gaze becoming soft at the sight of you. "Enough of this. I beg of you," you beseech him, such words instantly taking away the fondness and revealing a look of betrayal and rage. 

"You're mine!" he childishly bellowed, shaking just as much as he pressed down on Jungkook yet again. "Haven't I made that clear enough?!"

The pain in his voice twists your heart, just as much as his heinous deeds twist your stomach. Murder, sabotage, manipulation—he had done all of it for your sake, he told you. If so, then perhaps you can coax him out of this. "Let go of him and I'll go with you," you strike a deal with the devil, effectively tempting him into loosening his grip on the vicomte. 

"(Y/N), n—"

Jungkook's protest is cut off by a groan of pain as Taehyung's fist meets with his jaw, the clatter of swords falling along with him. In an instant, the masked phantom seizes your face, his hold firm yet gentle. "You will marry me," Taehyung decidedly declares, "and you'll never b—"

A horrified gasp leaves you as you catch sight of a glinting steel poke through Taehyung's abdomen. He, too, reels with the pain coursing through his very being.  

Blood—blood is coming out of him fast.

Behind the phantom, Jungkook shakes as he withdraws the blade. He's never killed anyone before. "She's not yours or mine," the young vicomte gritted through his teeth, "but I'll never let her be damned to the likes of you."

The rage that roars through the phantom is immediate. So close, yet he had been foolish. He should've ended the basta—

A gentle hand squeezing his is the water that douses the fire burning within him. Your eyes meet and he sees the exhaustion in your eyes, the sparkle he had fallen for no longer there. There's a resounding defeat that flashes in Taehyung's eyes as he staggers forth and surrenders himself into your arms, his body falling from your weak hold and onto the floor.  

You and Jungkook share a glance, both unsure of what to do. Had Taehyung finally realized his faults and regrets so close to death's door?

Desperate for the last of your affection, Taehyung's hand clutches your gown. "Love me," his words were a benediction to you, his muse and goddess, as they always were. "I'm cold."

Kim Taehyung always hated the cold, but the darkness of the crypts were all he had, and he could never bring himself to the warmth of fire—the very thing that left half of his face and body scarred after an unfortunate incident years ago. 

You oblige, for the sake of what good he had done in your life, for the sake of that poor, unfortunate soul who craved for love he went mad. Fingers trembling from the cold and from the rush of it all, you unmask Taehyung for the last time, in spite of the weak protest he tries to stop you with. 

You gently caress his cheek, the one of marred flesh as you let him settle on your lap. A tear falls from your cheek, though you're not really sure why—you don't love him, not after what he's done. It's pity, perhaps.

And so, it is with pity you press a soft, parting kiss onto his forehead, one the dying man relishes. "Tell the world I've died of love," he whispers to you as you pull away, his dying breath only ever taken for his beloved songbird. 

Kim Taehyung always hated the cold. 

Still, he blissfully closed his eyes. At the very least, in the cold of the night, in the darkness beneath the city, your warmth surrounds him before death's embrace ever could.

not that anybody asked by here's me beating mohg (as christine) in NG+1

[the-world-is-treating-me-bad]

for the music ask game! :)

3, 12, and 23

Ahh ty!

3. If you were to get lyrics tattooed on you, which would they be?

Oh, that’s tricky! I can think of a couple:

1. “I don’t want the world, I just want your half” from the song Ana Ng by They Might Be Giants,

2. “Find me in my field of grass” from Mother Nature’s Son,

Or 3. “Wrap my misgivings in a tune” from the song Shining My Flashlight On The Moon by Christine Lavin.

Honestly though? I don’t really know if I’d want to get words tattooed on me. When I think about tattoos I wanna get, even ones related to music, I usually think about getting images to represent stuff.

12. Who is a band or artist that you’ve never seen that you’re dying to see?

Basic as hell but I so desperately want to see Paul and Ringo live at least once. Outside classic rock it’d be awesome to see The Mountain Goats or AJJ live.

23. Do you create your own playlists? If so, how many do you have?

I sometimes do? Usually what it is is all of an artist’s discography, cause Spotify doesn’t have a way to let you listen to all of an artist’s music straight through. I have a couple of vibes based playlists though. I’ve got 16 on Spotify atm, but most of them aren’t in like, regular listening rotation.

Thanks for asking!

61 DAYS LATER A LETTER ON OUR 2ND MONTHSARY

Dear, my beloved christine.

It doesn't feel like it's been a 61 days since we're relationship and been 288 days since the first time I laid my eyes on you — but somehow it feels like it's been forever. This whole "us" thing. you and me. same feelings, same thoughts, couple.

i met various people every single day and have made so many friends over the years but meeting you for the first time was something special, the vibe, the atmosphere, the bond and the feeling was different. it was more unique and special . your force of attraction was super strong which technically pulled me more closer to you. the first time I met you, you were just a friend of friend to me but now I get to call you as my girlfriend, my someone, my beloved, and the love of my life. you have such a kind heart yet you're strong. you have a soul that is pure and so beautiful, i know you got flaws in many ways—

but you're my baby, my baby makes mistakes but I don't care.

i know I have been not an easy person to deal with. i have so much trust issues, I'm a chronic over-thinker, sometimes i overthink more than I should, i stressed up super fast, i might be insecure most of the time but being with you makes me to over come those. you help me out in so many ways and in any aspects and from giving up in such things and for that i thank you with all of my heart. i appreciate every single thing that you have done for me (too many to elaborate, but you're the best!!) and most of all is not giving up on me. i promise you with all of me, with every veins i have down to the tiny thread of my flesh that i love you with so much passion, feelings that can't be describe, and much of intensity.

you always mention that when I came along , you have so many changes in your life and you feel more alive than ever and i want you to feel like that always through out your life. and just to be fair— you've done a lot of things in my life too.

you made me realized that once in our life we are bound to met someone who will love us wholeheartedly yet not exhausting—and it's you.

i, myself, your girlfriend, yang, promise that you will always be cared for, and be someone beside you to guide you when you're lost [remember you told me that I'm your ilaw. ] to congratulate you in your achievements, a shoulder to cry on when you need to, and an ears to listen to all your rants all the time. I will be there always.

your awkward smiles, your silly laugh, your opinions, your smartness and many more is just so dashing ✨. i personally admire all those chessy stuff but i just don't say it, love.

I'm too shy to say this in personal pero my kilig was overflowing the moment you said na palit na lang tayo ng suot sa paa when we were at the mall. I don't know pero it's the small gestures talaga for me and I really love you so much for that, I got teary eyed na ewan hahaha.

i am grateful and humbled by this unconditional love that you shower on me. some of the days I just feel overwhelmed with the affection I have for you and i always wonder whether it's a dream or a reality that i am really living because the feeling was so magical and surreal.

I love you a lot! These words are not enough to let you know the immense feelings that I have for you in my heart. ever since I have met you, it seems that I have experienced the moments of paradise with you. you are that one woman who has brought back all the happiness and cheer of my life which I was searching till now at your side, i feel so blessed and happy that I wish to spend each and every moment with you. tin,baby, you are really a dream come true for me. your gentle touch makes me feel so numb, the care that you show makes me feel so complete and the emotions that are seen in your eyes are enough for me to know that you value me. I feel lucky and proud when I hold your hand because it in your presence that I feel so safe and protected. no words might be enough to tell you the ocean of love that I have for you but please know that I miss you every second.

my heart beats only for you, i really love you. happy 2nd motmot, mahal. I love you ulit ^⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠_⁠^

love, yang.

From the late 1600s to the early 1900s, the West African kingdom of Dahomey (in present-day Benin) was protected by an all-female regiment of warriors. Depicted here in a 19th-century lithographic print, these women were widely known as fierce defenders of their realm.

The Warriors of This West African Kingdom Were Formidable—and Female

In the 17th century, Dahomey flourished under the protection of its all-woman military regiment that inspired Viola Davis's acclaimed film The Woman King.

— By Rachel Jones | September 14, 2022

Call it mere coincidence or a masterstroke of tourism-focused timing. Earlier this year, when news spread that a hundred-foot-tall statue of Queen Tassi Hangbe had been erected in the West African nation of Benin, one could almost hear the faint click clack of calculators adding up the revenue from future travelers inspired to visit after having seen the movie The Woman King.

Historical extravaganzas generally fare well at the box office, especially ones involving vivid costumery and spirited combat. But this latest entry benefits from perfect timing once again, in the wake of the 2018 blockbuster film Black Panther. That epic tale of the fictional African nation of Wakanda was the perfect precursor for a movie steeped in the lore and history of a real-life group of African female warriors, whose fierce prowess stunned all they encountered.

But conferring the label “Amazons” on these women soldiers of West Africa’s Kingdom of Dahomey is a non-starter for historian Pamela Toler.

“In addition to it being a decidedly colonial reference, you’re sort of reinforcing the idea that they are exceptions, and that no ordinary woman could be larger than life,” she says. “That’s a very European perspective on these amazing women.”

Toler, author of the book Women Warriors: An Unexpected History, says it’s important to know the full story of the all-female regiment of warriors who existed from the late 1600s to the early 1900s. In fact, an examination of their origins and the society they arose from provides a more multidimensional image of these women warriors and the legacy they left behind.

The Rise of The Kingdom of Dahomey

Until recent decades, the vast majority of popular culture depictions of Africa have characterized the continent as an uncivilized, agrarian milieu before the arrival of Europeans like Portuguese explorer Henry the Navigator in the 15th century.

On the contrary, powerful ancient civilizations flourished throughout the continent, including the prehistoric Land of Punt and the kingdoms of Aksum and Nubia in northeast Africa; the West African empires of the Ashanti, Mali, and the Songhai; and the Kingdom of Zimbabwe.

In West Africa, Dahomey carved an indelibly powerful legacy. As outlined in the Encyclopedia Britannica, the kingdom established a well-organized government in which the king was considered semi-divine and had absolute control over economic, political, and social affairs. He was supported by a council of officials chosen from the commoner class because of their allegiance to the king and commitment to the nation’s development.

"As the blacksmith takes an iron bar and by fire changes its fashion, so we have changed our nature. We are no longer women, we are men." — Dahomey and The Dahomans, Frederick Forbes, British Naval Officer

Its geographic access to the sea, and the strategic prowess of its leaders, helped Dahomey vanquish other coastal kingdoms such as Allada and Whyda. But the emergence and expansion of the transatlantic slave trade ultimately helped seal its dominance. It’s estimated that from the 1720s until 1852, when the British imposed a naval blockade, Dahomey’s rulers sold hundreds of thousands of people from neighboring tribes and nations to the British, French, Portuguese, and others.

The Kingdom of Dahomey rose to dominance in West Africa on the strength of its disciplined army and strategic leadership—but also through its role capturing and selling hundreds of thousands of people from neighboring nations to the transatlantic slave trade. Pictures From History/AKG-Images

Behanzin, the last king of Dahomey, with his family in 1894. Although his predecessor had allowed France to claim the city of Cotonou as a protectorate, Behanzin was strongly opposed to colonization and launched an ill-fated last push to end European interference.

Besides the slave trade, Dahomey fought to acquire fertile land for farming and to boost its trade in palm oil. Taxes and duties collected from those two ventures helped Dahomey build an imposing military presence.

Eventually, continuous raids on neighboring communities significantly reduced the number of males, which set the stage for women to step into the role of guardians and protectors.

Origins of Dahomey’s Women Warriors

One account of their origins contends that they were elephant hunters who served under King Houegbadja, the third king of Dahomey, from around 1645 to 1685. Known as Gbeto in the Fon language, UNESCO’s Women in African History portal writes that they, “hunted all kinds of game, including elephants, the most valuable and difficult of animals to kill.”

Elephants were almost completely wiped out from the area by the mid-19th century. The Gbeto were then integrated into the army of women soldiers. They wore brown blouses and brown-and-blue knee-length shorts.

These women fighters were also known by other names in the Fon languages, including Agojie, Agoji, Mino, or Minon. But the prevailing origin story of the Dahomey women warriors is that the group was formed at the behest of Queen Hangbe, daughter of Houegbadja, who rose to power after her twin brother Akaba died under mysterious circumstances in the early 1700s.

The fact that Hangbe amassed a squadron of women willing to die protecting her and their kingdom was an impressive feat in the deeply patriarchal Dahomey society.

These female fighters were not concubines or servants obliged to defer to any man’s whims. And they didn’t just spring out of the ether; historians have long noted the prominence of women in some African societies. In the book Continent of Mothers, Continent of Hope: Understanding and Promoting Development in Africa Today, author Torild Skard writes about the Dahomey warriors:

“(They) were renowned for their zeal and ferocity. The most fearsome were armed with rifles. There were also archers, hunters and spies. They exercised regularly to be physically and mentally fit for combat. They sang, ‘Men, men stay! May the men stay! May they raise corn and grow palm trees … We go to war.’ When not in combat, they guarded the royal palaces in Abomen and grew fruit and vegetables. They could also go out and take captives to sell as slaves.”

The Reality Behind The Myths

Though it’s tempting to think that Dahomey’s female warriors may have very much resembled the sleek, ferociously glamorous fighters depicted in Black Panther, historian Toler says the reality is quite different.

“By the 1800s, contemporary accounts of them is that their uniforms were so similar to their male counterparts, people fighting against them don’t realize they’re women until they’re up close in hand-to-hand combat,” Toler says. “They most likely wore long shorts, a tunic, and a cap, not the sexualized almost bathing suits you’d see in modern-day depictions of female warriors.”

In addition to their talents in hand-to-hand combat, Dahomey's women warriors were experts with a bow and arrow. The most skilled members of the unit were selected to be archers, using hooked and poisoned arrows to stop their foes. Look and Learn/Bridgeman Images

Tales of their exploits astonished many European explorers and slave traders, and the region’s female fighters helped burnish Dahomey’s reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

“By all accounts, they were fearsome, excellent marksmen,” Toler says. “They were skilled with hand-to-hand fighting, using weapons that were a lot like machetes. And there was absolutely nobody there to tell them that they shouldn’t be involved in combat, or that they didn’t have the upper body strength as you heard in European and North American history until recently.”

While most records of Dahomean warfare involve battles with neighboring kingdoms for control of coastal cities, a shift began in the late 1870s after the kingdom agreed to let France claim the city of Cotonou as a protectorate. By 1883, nearby Porto-Novo, one of Dahomey’s rivals, was similarly designated.

But in 1889, a new king came to power. King Behanzin balked at European interference and eventually ordered slave raids and other hostilities against those French protectorates. This led to Second Franco-Dahomean War, which lasted from 1892 until 1894, and which some historians point to as end of a dominant role for the Dahomey women warriors.

Legacy of The Women Warriors

Historians like Toler are eager to see if The Woman King will yield a more contextual depiction of these women who chose a path that rejected limitations or gender restrictions. That’s critically important, as the image of the African woman on the global stage has a long way to evolve toward becoming empowered versus impoverished.

Warriors of Dahomey, a series of Épinal images created by French draftsman, illustrator, and printer Jean-Charles Pellerin in France in 1870. Pellerin famously pioneered this style of printing that uses bright colors to depict a popular subject.

There is no arguing that women made significant contributions to the development of African nations as traders, educators, cultivators, priestesses, healers, and more. And though leaders such as Ana Nzinga, queen of Ndongo, Kongo prophet Dona Beatriz, and Idia, queen mother of Benin—joined by modern-day heroines like Nobel Peace Prize winners Wangaari Maathai and Ellen Johnson Sirleaf—amplify the power and prowess of African women, art curator and historian Alexander Ives Bortolot summarizes the remaining challenge:

“There can be no doubt that important and celebrated women existed in other periods of African history, but prior to the era of contact with Europe, written records of their names and achievements simply do not exist. Indigenous narratives about them have not survived to the present-day or have yet to be recognized and recorded. As the study of African history continues, however, the identities of other notable African women will surely be revealed.”

Perhaps the rise in depictions of real-life African women as powerful and self-defining can help achieve that goal. The more people who know about the Dahomey women warriors, the better, Toler says.

“They proved that women are stronger than society thinks they are, than even they themselves may believe,” she says. “They had the choice to fight, and it was an entirely appropriate one.”

Maid of Honor

naalala ko lang din, diba nga nung pinuntahan namin ni Jasmine si Mikee—yung pinsan ko. napag usapan namin kasi ikakasal ata sila sa February na kasi uuwi yung mom ni Mikee. di pa naman nafinalize, di rin sure kung mag civil lang sila or church at may entourage, pero ayun nga baka mag abay nga kami.

nabanggit ko rin kasi, nung nag away nga kami last year ni Mikee, nag drama ako sakanya non haha. sabi ko, sino na maid of honor ko pag kinasal ako kung ifi-friendship slash cousin over niya ako. haha. kasi akala ko nun icu-cut off niya na talaga ako forever, dahil sa di lang kami nagkaintindihan non about sa issue nila ng ex niya before. pero since nagkabati naman kami, if ever daw, hindi na siya maid of honor, matron of honor na raw siya kasi kasal na siya by that time.

tapos yun nga, kako pinagpipilian ko nga silang apat—Chi, Jasmine, Marika at siya nga. in-exclude ko na yung mga highschool bff kong sila Angel at Christine kasi ang tagal narin namin hindi masyadong nag uusap though di ko naman sila ini-FO. haha. it's just that, hindi sila kilala ni J masyado, at hindi rin nila masyadong kilala si J. gusto ko kasi yung mga taong nanjan talaga para samin ni J along the way. and silang apat yun—and other friends.

iniisip ko rin na if ever, pwede ko naman gawin hanggang tatlo yung MOH ko. si Vina Guerrero nga tatlo MOH niya e. haha. kaso apat sila, pano yun haha. pero ang iniisip ko ngayon, if mag i-stick lang ako sa maid of honor, si Marika talaga naiisip ko kasi siya talaga yung isa sa dahilan at nagpush sakin na jowain ko nga 'to si J, tsaka close din sila. kilala narin siya ng family ni J since nagpunta siya dun sakanila to visit me haha.

siguro time will tell nalang kung sino talagang available for that title. kasi baka by that time, wala siya sa pinas, nakita ko kasi sa Twitter, pinursue niya yung pag aapply niya sa Qatar Airways, I wish her luck na sana makuha niya yung dream niya, pero I'm hoping din na sana when that time comes, she'll be there.

alam ko hindi clear or baka hindi niya ako tinuturing na best friend, pero ever since we worked together—Araneta days palang— tinuturing ko na talaga siyang bff, kako nga siya yung work bff ko kasi lagi kaming magkasama sa work kahit mag resign kami ng mag resign. ngayon lang ata kami magkakahiwalay, kasi we'll choose a different path na.

pero silang apat, for sure kasama sa entourage, pati si mommy Ai at Phoebe. hehe. skl.
