CPC CHAPTER 157

I'm— I just. SOB BLAINE AND FREDERICK??

Ooh!! I should've expected this room to show up in her dream. I'm guessing that it has something to do with the reflections in the sugars?? In the chapter where Frederick and Gwen was in this room, their sweet moment was interrupted by Gwen seeing her reflection in one of the sugar. Maybe the reflections will tell her something regarding her view of herself? Or maybe they will instead warn her about what's happening at the Palace's hall? (By that I mean the war)

Or perhaps...We will see Frederick?

Okay, moving on to the war—

Bruh they gotta STOP finishing each other's sentence it's driving me crazy and slowly taking my hope away from Blaine T_T

I still have my hopes on Blaine, but it's fading away veryyyy slowly. I'm trying hard to believe in him tho. Good thing I have fanfics and my imagination to help me cope through this :')

Also HECK YEAH IT'S SHOWDOWN TIME!!!

May I just say, I love Jamie speaking in Wingdings XD. I tried to translate it but weirdly it didn't translate into an understandable sentence/word. It's just gibberish.

Curtis with a broom...HE'S SO COOL?? Never underestimate butlers real (Curtis, Alfred)

Lorzanna moment!! They are adorable :D Also they are soooo gonna kick Leland's butt.

Also everyone should just use Laverne as a defense strategy here, just saying. It seems to be really effective.

Leland's threat kinda takes my interest here. What do you mean "or else I will"? Do you mean you can just literally stop what's going on right here right now? Then why not just do it now? Or by that does he mean he's going to punish the Plaid Princes in the dungeon again...or worse? Uh well at the very least all I know is LELAND SUCKS.

GO, LANCE, GO!! Betray your bs of a father and stop your big brother from succumbing to the dark side!! I have faith in you :') Honestly even though Lorena don't really understand Lance's fear of Leland and calling him a coward kinda stung, but at the same time it's kinda a wake up call for him? I guess??

Oh yeah, sorry for ruining the moment here but I've been thinking about how sick his new scars would be like it would be shapes like an X and that's so cool?!

Yeah I gotta agree with Lorena here, that was kinda creepy Leland... But Lorena's throw was amazing. Like dang..that spear must be heavy as frick and she throws it with a huge strength?? Lorena = Undyne confirmed?

Beckett to the rescue!! :D love that guy. Hopefully the misunderstanding between Maria and Gwen will clear up though :')

And lastly...the one I'm ejwnsuehw about the most...

Blaine c'mon man Blaine wait listen to me dude wait wait wait. Stop okay stop don't do this 😭😭 Literally go meditating with Whitney bro THIS IS NOT YOU. I don't think i can change you at this point but literally you don't even want to change. And this is the most difficult part because no matter how much you want to help someone, it's pointless if they don't even wanna help themselves. I'm really hoping he would get redemption arc especially because of what Isolde told him in chapter 144.

Oh! I almost forgot. Let's look into the fast pass section!

So first of all we have Blaine vs. Frederick :') but what takes my interest the most is.. The Prince vs. The Prez... Obviously the prince is Blaine, since it uses singular noun and in the thumbnail we see Blaine and Prez. But what caught my attention is "the Prez..." the prez what? The prez club? This could be something regarding cpc, or maybe Prez creates a new group? I can't wait for it to upload :D

Well that it's for today, now let me just sob on the floor while holding my plaid clothes in front of my cats again.

Mono out! (But still in to hear your thoughts)

The French Effect

Tom Hiddleston x Reader

Warning: very poor translations from Google 😅 (sorry in advance for that), Alcohol consumption, Voice kink, Implied smut, smut, fluff.

Note: this is a fic for the lovely @the-th-horniest-book-club based on this request 🥰 hope you like it. High five to those with voice kinks like me xD welp 🙈🤤

Four years. You can’t still believe you’ve been together for four years now. Four years of wonderful and heart bursting relationship with the gorgeous and amazing Tom Hiddleston. It feels like you’re in a dream and now that dream became much better as he brought you to Paris on your fourth year anniversary. That’s such a dream come true. He brought you to so many wonderful places and you’ve eaten so many delicious food.

Everything is so perfect, he’s perfect. You thought as you sipped at the second glass of wine you’re currently tasting in the lovely vineyard that you can’t pronounce the name. The Guide mentioned it earlier and you attempted to speak it in your mind and you felt like even your brain is going to have a cramp if you try again.

You laughed at your silly thought which made Tom look down on you with his head tipped up sipping his own wine. He walked near you once he’s done drinking licking his lower lip to remove the excess liquid in it which made you shiver. This man really have ways to make you weak in the knees. Four years and counting he still have that effect on you and it’s just getting stronger.

“What’s funny, Darling?” He asked as he got near you. He sneaked his free hand on your waist keeping you on his side as you both follow your group of tourist. If you heard your guide correctly you’re now on your way to the Grapevine plants.

“I can’t wait to pick some grape!” You told him giggling again, excited to taste some freshly picked grapes unlike the ones you usually have from the groceries store. Tom laughed at you.

“I think you’re a tad bit drunk, Darling.” He said poking your cheek which made you pout.

“I’m allowed to be drunk. It’s our last night here and we’re in a vineyard. It’s a must to get drunk from all the taste test samples coz we won’t be able to have them once we leave.” You said, your tone full of conviction on your good argument.

Tom just shacked his head grinning widely.

“I cannot win when you talk like that.” He said before he stole a quick kiss on your lips. “Hmm…delicious.”

You felt your body shivers in response to his physical touch and his voice. God how you wish you’re in a private place right now.

He winked at you knowing what he’s doing is affecting you right now. Ugh he’s enjoying this!

“Madame et monsieur, we are now in the Sauvignon Blanc Plantation. You may now pick as many as you like.” The guide said with his thick French accent.

Like an excited kid you picked up a basket tugging Tom towards where you think have more fruits. You were busy picking grapes and shoving some from time to time on your mouth when the Guide walked towards the two of you.

“Can I help you?” Tom asked smiling warmly at the young man.

“Ahm…excusez-moi Monsieur, etes-uhm…” HE looks like he’s a bit nervous and his English is struggling a little. With an understanding look in his face tom got up from beside you to walk near the man.

“Ne t’inquiete pas, je peux parler francais.” (Don’t worry I can speak French) Tom said in a very smooth French, even his accent sounds so good you end up clenching your tights at how sexy he sounded. You look up at him from where you’re currently crouching near a stacks of grapes as he continued to talk to the guide in French till the guide pull out his smart phone and took a selfie with Tom.

The whole time they were talking you can feel yourself get wetter and wetter so you stayed where you are until he returned on your side.

“He said his Little sister is my fan. We took a selfie as gift to her.” Tom said happily. You just nodded at him mouth slightly ajar as you’re trying to calm your beating heart. “Are you alright, Darling?” He asked when you remained quiet and is just looking at him in awe. Realization drown on him and he smirked moving closer to you. “Je t’aime tellement, ma reine. Joyeux anniversaire.” (I love you my queen, happy anniversary) He whispered close to you. His voice low and so, so sexy that you couldn’t stop yourself from shivering a low moan left your lips at his antique.

Damn, he need to talk like that more in bed. You don’t care if he’s talking gibberish. Its pure sex that you almost came just by absorbing the timbre of his tone and his heated stare.

[Image Description: Wallus Breadbear (as interpreted by OP) and Questionette from Smile For Me sitting at a table covered with tiny cat figurines. Wallus is a man with blue-grey skin, pale blue hair that resembles a mop covering one eye, a matching beard and mustache, and dark grey eyes with large pupils and yellow sclera. He is wearing a dark teal sweater with blue-grey accents. He has one hand propping his head up and the other laying on the table. Questionette is a woman with light skin, short brown hair, teal eyes, and a pink heart mark on one cheek. She is wearing a sleeveless yellow and maroon top. She has her elbows on the table and is propping her head up with her hands as she looks at all the little cat figurines and grins. The small cat figurines are in a variety of colors and patterns, mostly greys, oranges, and creams with darker spots. The wall behind them is aqua green and purple with a tan chair railing in the middle, and two framed pictures are up on the aqua green part. End ID.]

-----

They both spent a few minutes looking through each others’ collections, trading a few that one had multiples of for some the other didn’t have any of, chatting away at the cuteness of each tiny hand-painted kitten. “So, uh, you got a favorite of these yet?” Wallus asked.

“I think it would be...this one.” Questionette picked one up, resembling a fluffier Siamese cat. “I do not know the breed, if there is any.”

Wallus pulled a sheet of paper out of his pocket, unfolding it to look at an illustrated list of the figures in the set. “Think that’s the, um, the Birman,” he said. “I like this little guy myself.” He picked up a kitten whose ears were folded over in an adorable manner. “Scottish fold. Something about those little ears is charming.”

“They certainly are.”

+++++

More 101 Smiles! I don't really remember why I had Wallus and Questionette sharing little kitty figurines for this one, I wanna say I wanted to explore their friendship but it could've also been that I didn't feature them enough in the prompt planning XD Also I have 'Nette speaking proper English because...I didn't wanna do either literal gibberish or clumsy google translate French, both of which Wallus canonically can't understand without the quiktranslate... ^^;

Strain affects Fushimi and Munakata: Whenever they speak, they're the only two who understand each other. To everyone else, it sounds like they're speaking another language entirely. I imagine Munakata taking advantage of this by doing more flirting with Fushimi at the office, lol. :)

Sometimes it feels to everyone like Munakata's speaking in a different language anyway so this doesn't really change things much XD Say he and Fushimi get hit by this Strain whose power makes it so you and the other person have like your own language that no one else understands, they can understand what the other members of Scepter 4 are saying but no one else can understand them. Right after the two of them get hit Awashima runs over and asks if they're okay, Munakata replies in this unintelligible gibberish. Awashima's like excuse me and Fushimi clicks his tongue and says something else that she can't understand, Munakata responds in kind and the two of them seem to have no idea that Awashima can't understand them. Awashima asks if they can understand her and it turns out that they can, they're both surprised when she explains that they're speaking in some unknown language because to the two of them it just sounds like normal Japanese. When they get back to headquarters Awashima has the alphabet squad do some research to see if there's like an actual language the two of them are speaking but if it is it's so obscure that they can't find anything that would have a translation. Writing doesn't work either, both Munakata and Fushimi just write weird scribble chicken scratch that doesn't look like any language Awashima can recognize.

Once it seems clear that this won't wear off for a while Munakata decides to mostly allow Awashima to give out orders for Scepter 4 in the meantime, since he can really only respond with nodding or shaking his head. This of course gives him a lot of time to spend with Fushimi, who was probably hoping he could just take the day off and not have to talk to anyone (really this is like his ideal Strain power, one which makes people leave you alone and stop bugging you). Since he and Munakata are the only ones who understand each other though Munakata takes this chance to get to learn even more about Fushimi, feeling like this is a wonderful chance for them to bond. And of course he's also happy to be a bit more forward in his flirting, since Fushimi normally gets annoyed when Munakata does that in public and now nobody knows but them. Really though the squad can kinda figure it out, like they'll see Munakata and Fushimi talking and then Munakata gives a wide smile and Fushimi's suddenly a little red-faced and clicking his tongue and everyone's like Captain's being even more obvious than normal somehow. Fushimi is maybe able to be a bit more honest though himself, being in a little world just for him and Munakata and not needing to worry about what anyone else overhears so he tries saying a few things he normally wouldn't just to try and get Munakata off guard too (not that it works, because Munakata enjoys hearing such words from Fushimi and it just makes him very happy instead).

[sandalaris]

Nine x Rose for the new parents questions?

My favorite Doctor! XD

Who panics over everything? Nine, oddly enough. "They're half human! Do have any idea how fragile your species is!?" And there's the fact that he knows the basics on how to keep humans alive, he knows the basics on how to keep Time Lords alive, but those things aren't always the same thing. Cyanide poisoning requires different antidotes depending on the species. He know the cures for both humans and Time Lords, but which will the baby need? Rose is much more level headed about the whole thing. "Why would the baby have eaten cynide?"

Who lives on Google and WebMD to look up everything the baby does? Neither. Rose will occasionally look stuff up, but she trusts her instincts and Nine doesn't trust that backwoods, antiquated method of diagnosing. "I'm the doctor, Rose."

Who's on the fence about vaccinations? Both, but not for the reasons other people are. They live in space, Time Lords have their own versions of immunization ("Isn't that basically just vaccinating?" *the Doctor just stares at her like she's talking gibberish*) and the record of their child's birth is technically on a planet on the other end of the galaxy about 2.4 thousand years in the future, so finding a medical professional to give the vaccines might be tricky. Not to mention the kid's mixed species makes it a little trickier to know what to vaccinate for. Not all human-safe things are safe for Time Lords and vice-versa.

Who bothers the doctor at 3 AM? Rose. But the doctor she bothers is Nine and time is relative when you live in a time machine.

Who nudged the other in the middle of the night to go handle the baby? Nine. But in his defense the baby is asking for Mom most of the time and he knows better than to try to substitute.

Who pretends to be asleep when the baby is screaming? Mostly Rose, because Nine speaks baby and knows if it's something he can fix/help/do in which case he'll let her "sleep." But sometimes he gets caught up in an adventure or the TARDIS or something and she considers that the same thing.

Who accidentally drops the baby? Rose, sadly. She feels awful about it too. Nine, for all his panic over other little thing, doesn't even blink. "The young of most species are very resilient."

Who takes videos and pictures of everything? Rose's mom. Rose and the Doctor are too busy living in the moment, but grandma's got this. There's gonna be a museum dedicated to this kid some day (even if it's on a different planet and she has to build it herself) and she's going to be ready. #ProudGrandma

Who has more trouble adjusting to parenthood? Both in the sense that neither are traditional parents and their lifestyle is not always conducive to child raising, but neither in the sense that they don't struggle with it. The Doctor's been through this before and has been around for a long time, he has a lot of knowledge to pull from. And Rose has good instincts. And they each trust the other to know their part in this whole child rearing adventure they've embarked on. It may not be traditional, but they got this.

Who falls asleep with the baby on their chest? Nine is more likely because he sleeps at random moments and is more likely to sleep on his back. Rose prefers to curl up on her side. But it's not a common occurrence. (Don't ask me why I feel so strongly that Rose is a side sleeper, she just is.)

Who plays airplane with the baby and ends up with puke on their face? Nine, all the way. Although he was playing spaceship/time machine and he did it in no small part because he saw it on a human film and it looked like fun. Rose may have gotten a photo of it.

Who gets overwhelmed the easiest? Nine again. Rose thinks it's her, because she's so young and hadn't ever really thought about being a mother before it happened, but the Doctor is painfully aware that it's his job to fix the messes they get in. There's no one else to turn to if he can't figure it out and there's so many times before they had a baby where he nearly didn't. Rose figures if they go down they go down together and he loves that about her, but also hates it because he'd much rather the most important person (now people) to him not go down at all. But Rose won't let him crash and burn on his own, so he has to save himself in order to save her (now them.)

Who scalds themselves when testing the bottle temperature on their wrist? Rose does the most at first when she's still learning, but the Doctor seems to do so sporadically too. She can't figure out why.

Who dresses the baby up on funny outfits? Nine. "It's the traditional ceremonial outfit of Garazaxial. It's not meant to be laughed at. It's a very serious outfit." Rose is not sure if he's always serious or if he's playing her sometimes.

Who rocks the baby while singing to them? Rose has a horrible singing voice, but Nine assures her that the baby loves it anyway so she's the one you'll find most often singing to their child. But when Rose is in the middle of her sleep cycle (time is relative) and the TARDIS is quiet, Nine will stand for what seems like hours just singing traditional ballads and lullabies of his people. After all, he's not the last of his kind anymore.

Who accidentally adds too much soap to the bath so the baby ends up in a sea of bubbles? Nine seems to make this mistake a lot. No one believes it's an accident. Including the baby.

Who let's the baby try/eat/drink anything and everything they have? Nine. Rose is beginning to understand his fear of cyanide poisoning now. (In his defense, it is part of the Gallifreyan immunization process.)

Who is the baby tamer? Nine understands what the baby is saying, which gives him a big leg up. But Rose is who the baby usually wants. It works out best when they work together, Nine translating so Rose can do the task the baby is demanding of her. ("Definitely human. Only your species' young are this demanding." "Oh, like Time Lords aren't all arrogant know-it-alls who think the rest of us should just fall in line to your brillance.")

Humans Are Weird

It is well established among all sentient species that Humans are Weird. Exceptional Humans, however, make the regular humans seem almost tame in comparison. Yatrov was to show the newest crew member- another Human- “the ropes”, as Human Jenny phrased it. Upon arriving, however, the newest Human barely spared xir even a glance, which was odd, seeing how Humans prize interaction above all else. Shrugging it off, xe delicately held out a clawed hand to engage in the Human positive-meeting greeting, a “hand-shake” it was aptly named. “I am known as Yatrov, in Human Common tongue. I am sorry to say that I was unable to read your file report, and am thus left without your name. What is it you wish to be called?” Yatrov was genuinely sorry; the ship was in dire need of repairs, and this Human was coming to help. Instead of taking the proffered hand, the human’s brown eyes stared into xi’s own violet. “I am Giovanni. And you are approximately 7 minutes late. I do not fault you for your tardiness, your job is a busy one, so your apologies are void. I do not need to see the entirety of this ship, I only require the engine room. Take me there and I will begin repairs immediately. Social niceties and other such meaningless things can be done at a later date, if done they must be at all.” Yatrov felt somewhat slighted; xe’s species did not greet with touch, but it was seen as an insult- a social misdemeanor- to deny the shaking of hands. Attributing it to the Human having been under circumstances that made him “cranky” and to the fact that the Human was excited to work- humans forgot norms when excited, xe had found- Yatrov continued to try to create a pack-bond with this Human, “I have heard many great things about you.” “Truly?” The Human considered this for a moment, head tilting, “I am merely faster than most, mentally. A marathoner or racer is not spoken of in as high-esteem as those with quick mental facilities are, are they?” The Human was speaking out loud, xe found this practice odd and ignored it. “What exactly have you heard?” The Human tapped their legs with their fingers, adopting a rhythm unknown to xir, and hummed.  Arrogance or curiosity? “Admittedly, not much has been told. I know that you have several thesis papers, have repaired and improved upon numerous ships, and that you were good enough that our captain was surprised that you even bothered to consider joining our crew.” “Huh.” And that was that. Giovanni did not speak after that, made no effort to communicate. Giovanni did not try to obtain physical contact. Giovanni remained aloof with even Human crewmates long after he had joined. He also remained fidgety, seemingly unable to keep still, unless it was to engage in a staring contest with the resident cat- to keep the Humans from adopting a weird, deadly creature- or to continue his single-minded work with machinery. Three weeks after he had joined, the ship was attacked. Vernians boarded the ship, using their many appendages to apprehend multiple members of The Highlight- the ship- at once. No one knew where Giovanni was, and no one would have been surprised if he had left to save his own hide. Which was precisely why everyone, who were all bound and trying to negotiate with what was essentially pirates, was surprised when Giovanni came around the corner, a knocked out Vernian held under gun point. Guns pointed at him, Vernians shifted to attack him. “What you need to know: firstly, I have hacked into your language processors. All Vernae will sound like gibberish.” He paused, then grinned ferally. “Try”, he dared. “Kir-ah?!” They did, and did not seem pleased with the results. “Back! Restore!” the voices of Vernians screeched, their language translators on the fritz.  “Secondly,” he paused, “I will shoot your friend if you do not release my own.” When an uproar of shouting started again, he blandly stated, “Blank point will be quite messy, won’t it?” He hummed, as though in thought, though his eyes trailed after every movement the Vernians made. A smaller one, likely emotionally closer to the Vernian Giovanni was holding captive,  pounced. ZZZZZT-PA! The Vernian howled, two of its 11 “arms” gone. “My threat is not idle.” The room quieted, members of the Highlighter slowly being released. “Thirdly.” His lips pursed, his nose tilted, sneer deadly, “Run, and pray that I never see you again!” He shot a wall, and they scattered, leaving the crew of The Highlighter mostly unscathed. It was hours later, after the chaos was settled and the ship fixed up again, that Yatrov approached Giovanni. “Why did you save us?” Giovanni scrunched his thick eyebrows together, “Why ever would I not?” “You make no attempt to communicate with us.” Yatrov insisted, trying to discover the reason Giovanni would do something without some sort of gain. “Oh, that.” He dismissively waved his hand, his face again lax and bored. “I do not see the point in wasting words. I enjoy the presence of the crew, and- while I see no point in engaging in it- their idle chatter is amusing to listen to.” He raised an eyebrow, “Why do you ask?” “The crew operated under the belief that you disliked us.” Yatrov felt a small bit of shame; clearly, Yatrov had been wrong to assume that all Humans were so similar. “I-” He looked hurt, eyes filling with water- tears, they were called, and Yatrov knew that this was not a good sign. His lips twitched, his words near whispered, “Did you not consider me a friend? I thought we were.” He had begun nervously threading his fingers, humming lightly. “I thought you disliked me.” Yatrov’s admission only increased xir’s guilt, and the slight tremors of the Humans smaller body. “I made you and the others a new computer.” Giovanni’s eyes searched Yatrov’s one, and again found no solace. A computer did not equate to friendship. “I *made* you and the others a new computer.” The emphasis hit Yatrov. Why would one handmake something if the person receiving it did not matter to them. “I am sorry.” Yatrov paused, xe had seen it in a Human film once, maybe...? “Can we start over?” A small nod eased Yatrov’s mind and reaffirmed xir’s decision. “I am the one known as Yatrov, and I enjoy reading: fiction, typically.” Xe did not hold out his hand, but stared Giovanni right in the eye. The smirk on Giovanni’s face told xir that the actions- or lack there of- was not missed. “I am known as Giovanni.” He held out his hand, looking smug and slightly proud of remembering this, as their hands clasped, he said, “I enjoy sandwhiches, science, and conversations on how realistic or achievable a work of fiction can be. It will be a pleasure to work with you.” Humans were odd, but exceptional Humans lived by a very different set of rules. Intelligence changed their perceptions. Yatrov knew, from personal experience, that they were still Human, still fantastic and horrifying, at their core. Yatrov put down the book xe was reading, looking up to watch Giovanni’s animated expressions as he ranted about machinery. Yes, truly, Humans are Weird. (Please excuse any grammar/spelling mistakes, my hand has been cramping up lately and it is hard to write at the moment. And I should not be writing sci-fi, because it is NOT my forte, but I had a plot-bunny and felt the need to attempt it. This is basically a shortened version of what I wanted to write, skipping over much of what I actually wanted to put down. Feel free to take the general idea and write something better XD )

Some ments from EXO’rDIUM in S’pore

All the ments listed are based from my memory (some with the help of my crappy fancams), so they’re not really exact but the gist of it. The speech in italics means that they’re translated whereas those which are not, means the guys are speaking in English.

After the water performance for ‘Lightsaber’, Baekhyun whined that the water was too cold and he is all wet. The camera then decides to pann down to his lower body, eliciting lots of screams from the fans. Baekhyun isn’t aware of what’s happening and Suho tells him that Baek’s body is being shown on the large screens.

Suho asked Baekhyun whether he likes chilli crab while he’s in Singapore but cheeky Baek replied he prefers the bread which comes together with the crabs. He made the fans agree with him (which we all did LOL). “The bread is more delicious.”

Suho then asked Chen but before Chen could reply, Suho said that he could still smell the crab from his hands. Chen said he really loves crabs and asked the fans why we like the bread instead. “Is it because you guys are lazy to eat the crab?” If that’s the case, then he will help pick the meat from the crab for us.

Still on the topic of food, Suho then asked Kyungsoo what’s his sought-after food when in Singapore and Kyungsoo replied he always eats pepper crab. He said, “I like pepper crab”. Suho then asked him, “You like pepper crab?” to which Kyungsoo replied in a sing-song voice, “Yes, yes, yes.” Baekhyun imitated Kyungsoo’s “I like pepper crab” in a sing-song voice off-screen.

Suho continued the ment saying while he enjoyed the pepper crabs, he likes the night views of Singapore more. “But nothing could be better than you.” Baekhyun went wow and woo-hoo (don’t know whether he was agreeing with Suho or cringing XD)

The ment continued with this (I’ve giffed the rest of the ment)

Suho mentioned their fifth anniversary is coming up, together with one of their members’ birthday, so April is a special month for EXO. He wants the fans to sing a birthday song for Sehun when he comes out onto the stage after changing his clothes. 

Sehun was close to tears after hearing the fans sing a birthday song for him in Korean.   

During one of the ments between Chanyeol, Xiumin and Sehun, Chanyeol asked the fans on what they should talk about (Chan’s English is good!). Xiumin went close to the edge of the stage to listen to the fans and the fans went into a frenzy, everyone talking at once. Xiumin turned around to Chanyeol and Sehun and imitated the fans talking gibberish. “I don’t understand what they’re saying! I really don’t!” He did this twice and at the second time, both Chanyeol and Sehun rotfl coz Xiumin was just too cute. In the end, they settled for a topic which is about their comeback.

Suho kept trying to get the rest of the members under control during the end ment as they’re all wandering about, picking up toys, refilling their water guns, shooting water with each other, etc. He kept telling Baekhyun (who was busy at the corner of the stage refilling his water gun) “Please don’t shoot the water to us.” He called Kai crazy coz the younger was swinging the yellow rubber thingie around with much force.

Baekhyun commented that the toys scattered on the stage are all gifts on what the members like, to which the fans replied yes. He said “Thank you.”

Baekhyun told the fans (sitting area) to stand up at the end of the concert (I think what he meant was during the EDM and encore segments). He asked us whether we’re waiting for the signal to stand up. Baek continued that the next time they come back for another concert, he wants to see us standing up and dancing anytime we want coz “We really are all open-minded.”    

I want to elaborate a bit more on the last point. As a fan who was in the seating area, it was true that nobody stood up during the EDM segments. In my opinion, this is because we don’t want to block the view of the people behind. Everyone is there to enjoy themselves and the worst part is to get your view blocked by someone. But I’d guess after hearing Baekhyun call us out on this, the fans in Singapore will be “more willing to leave their seats”, lol XD
