#I still don't like Ju-Ri

[gooperts-gunk]

i saw someone on twitter writing qsmp names in korean and im trying so hard not to be bothered i know they have good intentions but it was just so wrong in parts so instead here's how qsmp names would be written in korean BY THE SOUND not how they're written. note that i am not korean nor on the korean side of qsmptwt but as a casual kpoppie it's a rite of passage to learn hangul and try to learn korean at one point therefore though i am not a trusted source i do know the basics of the phonetics LUL

alphabetical order & categorized!

get ready for me to infodump on mouth sounds

update from the morning after this post: fixed/optimized some!!!

english speaking creators:

badboyhalo: 밷보이헤이로 (baed-bo-i-he-i-ro/lo) i infer it'd be easier to just call him 헤이로 out of every part of him name please let's halo-truth bbh. the 헤이 slurs into the "hey/hei" sound, very little accentuation on the just one part, it works as one!!

dantdm: 단티디엠 or 댄티디엠 (dan-ti-di-em, daen-ti-di-em) i've heard both pronunciations for the name dan, it's a matter of preference here! EDIT: also possibly 댼 instead which is also daen but like, not really? but also they're really similar? and i don't know how to hear the difference but there is one and nevermind don't worry about it man

fit: 피트 (pi-teu) directly would be 핕 but that's just a tricky one it's bound to have a soft ㅡ sound following

foolish: 푸리쓰 or 푸리쌰? (pu-ri/li-sseu, pu-ri/li-ssya) THIS ONE IS TRICKY if it does go 쌰 it's be a soft one, but more likely 쓰 EDIT: IS IT 풀리쎠 (peul-ri-ssyeo) ?!?!?!? IM STILL ON THIS FOOLISH IS SO TOUGH TO PUT INTO HANGUL IM NOT GONNA BE OVER IT

ironmouse: 아이욘마우스 or 아이룐마우스 (a-i-yon-ma-u-seu, a-i-ryon/lyon-ma-u-seu) this one feels tit for tat, same same, just a minor difference in accentuating the r in iron or not! EDIT: could also be 아이런 (a-i-reon) or 아이론 (a-i-ron) !!!

jaiden: 제이든 (je-i-deun) no notes very easy and straightforward one

lenay: 르네이 (reu/leu-ne-i) same with jaiden's!

nihachu / niki: 니하추 or 니아추, 니키 (ni-ha-chu, ni-a-chu, ni-ki) another same same thing with ni-HA or ni-A, just depends on accentuation or not! the 추 may possibly be said as 츄 instead, but im unsure of which

philza: 피르쟈, 피르 (pi-reu/leu-jya, pi-reu/leu) no notes, straightforward! as you will come to notice, f's usually translate to ㅍ's, and z's usually translate to ㅈ's!

quackity: 콰키티 (kua/kwa-ki-ti) no notes! i heard like months back that quackity's korean fandom endearingly calls him 키티 i think?? fun fact i remembered :)

slimecicle / charlie: 스라임씨컬, 챨이 (seu-ra/la-im-ssi-keol/keor, chyal/chyar-i) wow okay so how do you write charlie in korean because i KNOW there's no way it's 챠르리 (chya-reu-ri) my tongue is tripping over the 르리, it has to be 챨이, or 챠리, or 챨리 right??? okay the more i think the more 챨리 (chyal-li) sounds right ok everyone go home i think it's 챨리 LUL

tinakitten / tina: 티나키던, 티나 (ti-na-ki-deon, ti-na) no notes! straightforward!

tubbo: 터뽀 (teo-bbo) no notes! but also i feel like there's other ways to write it that im just not convinced are correct LUL

wilbur soot: 윌버 쑽 (wil/wir-beo ssut) no notes!

spanish speaking creators:

carre: 카레 (ka-re) no notes!

elmariana: 에르마리아나 or 엘마리아나 (e-reu/leu-ma-ri/li-a-na, el-ma-ri-a-na) the reason why i included 에르 alongside 엘 is because it ends up sounding like "ed", the L/R sound in korean is in that same range and when said fast or cut abruptly like 엘, it sounds like a D, if not for context :) so 엘 COULD work! but it'd be hard to recognize it as an L/R sound without some extra space made for the sound. this is also relevant for elquackity!

german: 헤르만 or 헬만 (he-reu/leu-man, her/hel-man) same thing as last note applies here! it'd sound like HED-man more than HER-man but, still, could work!

luzu, arin: 루쥬 or 루주, 아린 (ru/lu-jyu, ru/lu-ju, a-rin/lin) no notes! i see luzu more said with the 쥬 sound instinctively but it's one of those either or i think EDIT: if it were the spain pronunciation i think it'd be 루튜 (lu-tyu) or 루뜌 (lu-ddyu) ??? the thhh sound doesn't exist in korean but this is the closest it gets i think

maximus, maxo: 맠수머스, 맠서 (mak-su-meo-seu, mak-seo) okay at this point my brain is mush and im sure there's a better way to write this but it's a tricky one. the 맠 could also be 막 (mag) but im unsure where in the mouth the difference is between 맠 and 막, because hangul is very mouth oriented, it's allll about tongue placement, and i am SO not on that X_X EDIT: i change my mind it's 막 for maximus but 맠서 is fine i think idk how to explain is just is. also alternate pronunciationfor maximus: 막씨머스 (mag-ssi-meo-seu)

missa sinfonia: 미싸 씬퍼냐 (mi-ssa ssin-peo-nya) yeah that seems about right (my brain is melting everything is hangul) no notes! EDIT: ok but IS it possibly 미사 (mi-sa)??? im doubting myself here

polispol, pol: 폴에쓰폴, 폴 (pol-e-sseu-pol, pol) no notes!

rivers: 리버스 (ri/li-beo-seu) no notes!

roier: 로이예 or 로이옐 (ro/lo-i-ye, ro/lo-i-yer/yel) this is one of those scenarios where an abrupt L/R sound works just fine! don't know how to explain it! but it just works!

rubius: 루비어스 (ru-bi-eo-seu) no notes!

spreen: 스프린 (seu-peu-rin) no notes!

vegetta: 베헷따 (be-het-dda) okay i don't know how to explain but tonalities of how you say vegetta in spanish make me think 베 and that the tta would be equal to the sharpness of 따 stick with me here i've been doing hangul names for so long now i can't see the end of the horizon EDIT: for some reason im changing my mind it might be 페헷따 (pe-het-dda)

willyrex, willy: 위리렉스, 위리 (wi-ri-reg-seu, wi-ri) okay again idk how to explain but the reason why ㄱ and not ㅋ is because it just feels like it instinctively, like that's a deep ㄱ abrubt stop, not a high ㅋ abrupt stop. im losing my marbles

portuguese speaking creators:

bagi: 바지 (ba-ji) no notes!

cellbit: 셀비트 (sel-bi-teu) guys this is getting hard. yes it's somehow sel and not se-leu. yes it's bi-teu and somehow not bit. if it were bit it'd be missing the aftermath TCH sound and i think it sounds good with it. the sel has space to breathe and isn't abrupt. stay with me. we're almost done EDIT: fellow hangul enjoyer anon in ask box said 셀빛 (sel-bich/bit) or 셀비츠 (sel-bi-cheu) if with the accent, i like these, ur getting put on the fridge with the best magnets. 빛 is a fun one because it sounds pretty much the same to 빝 or 빗, all end in the same stop of the tongue going to the roof of the mouth, but 빛 in particular means "light" and i think that's nice :)

felps: 펠릅스 (pel-reub-seu) holy moly i didn't expect this to be a tongue twister but i think i nailed it

mike: 마이크 or 마이키 (ma-i-keu, ma-i-ki) i've heard mike being called mikey so i included it for fun because there's been so much hardship. so so much. we're in this together.

pac: 팩 or 패크 (paeg, pae-keu) paeg and not paek because it's just a more throat based sound to say pac idk man. pae-keu is a hypothetical im losing it man i don't know anything anymore EDIT: okay i change my mind it's definitely 패크 over 팩 im so loopy from hyperfocus overload man EDIT EDIT: i can also see 팍 (pak) being used though that isn't how it sounds for us, i can see someone saying it that way in korean if they were to read it before hearing it and then go from there

french speaking creators:

antoine daniel: 안투완 단옐 (an-tu-wan dan-yel) in french the a's are long so 단 over 댄 is a guaranteed. the yel could be accentuated more but you get the point by now

aypierre: when french accent, 아이피에히, when english accent, 에이피에어 (a-i-pi-e-hi, e-i-pi-e-eo) (thank u anon for contributing 피에어 that makes much more sense)

baghera jones: one way is 바게라 전스 the other is 바길라 전스 (ba-ge-ra jeon-seu, ba-gil/gir-ra jeon-seu) a baGERa or bagEARa dilemma.....

etoiles: 에투왈 (e-tu-wal/war) no notes!

kameto: 카메토 (ka-me-to) no notes!

THERE!!!! IT'S DONE!!!! this was hard but i feel like i got most right. and when im wrong let's just say this was just hangul practice and not serious right guys, just practice round, right??? we don't take me so serious, right??? just stick fight with totem??? if you know korean especially the phonetics better than me which is NOT a high bar at all, you can step over that bar EASY, tell me a better way to write these thank u! smile :)

bonus round coming at you live from the morning after!!! some others that i thought "yeah let's include you"

im gonna be working on this on and off all day i think so don't be scared if someone isn't here chances are brain is doing something else but will add it later :)

cucurucho: 쿠쿠루쵸 (ku-ku-ru/lu-chyo) no notes!

walter bob: 월터 법 (weol/weor-teo beob) could also be 봅 (bob)

chayanne: 챠얀 (chya-yan) or 차얀 (cha-yan) no notes!

tallulah: 타룰라 (ta-lul-la) no notes!

ramon: 라몬 (ra-mon) or if you're pac you say 하몬 (ha-mon) heehee :)

dapper: 답퍼 (dab-peo) or possibly 답뻐 (dab-bbeo) but im not so sure about that one

leo / leonardo / leonarda: if you speak english it's 리오 (li-o) if you speak spanish it's 레오 (le-o), then add on 날도 (nar/nal-do) or 날다 (nar/nal-da) :)

richarlyson / richas: 리찰리손, 리차스 (ri-chal/char-li-son, ri-cha-seu) no notes!

pomme: 펌 (peom) or 폼 (pom) both work here!

trump: 트람프 or 트럼프, to make it trumpet change the 프 to 펫 (pet/ped)

tilin: 티린 (ti-lin/rin) no notes!

juanaflippa: 환나프리파 (hwan/huan-na-peu-li-pa)

bobby: 법비 (beob-bi) or 봅비 (bob-bi) both work here!

empanada: 엠파나다 (em-pa-na-da) no notes!

pepito: 페피토 (pe-pi-to) no notes!

sunny(sideup): 선니사읻엎 (seon-ni-sa-id-eop) this one works nicely because the 읻 bleeds into the 엎 and sounds like it's one full iddeop :) this one is an ending in ㅍ not ㅂ moment but i don't know how to explain why

My baby my baby....

part 2

Read part one on my page before continuing with this story.

"My beloved baby... your not planing to leave me are you...?"

Au. Dazai Osamu have a younger sibbing. After finding out they got severely hurt. He becomes...different...?

Tw. Toxic/not[ish?] normal family relationship in a way, yandere behavior, manipulation, threats, violences. Non-canon behavior. Kinda dark ark spoilers? Dark ark being just a red flag already. Mention of m-ri.

Dazai sat next to you. Holding onto your hand. The only thing keeping him from sending him insane or leaving you alone in the private hospital room was mori, and the steady heart beats from the montioner. He didn't cry but started with his black eyes at you. How did he let this happen? How did he let the only person he was willing to kill for almost die? How? As he mind ran ramped. He sat with your hand to his head. He felt a small twitch as he looked up. No luck. Still out. Unaware of what actually going on. " fucking do something! Anything don't sit your sorry ass their...." *he shouted be then went to a whisper seeing. Knowing that wouldn't make this situation any better. He didn't leave your side that night. Oda and ango heard some of the news and well came to check up on their friend. They where not aware that dazai had a sibbing. Well everyone have their secrets. And being the Mafia people can be used against you.

"What are you guys doing here?"

Dazai had turned a bit in his chair to look at them when he heard the door open. "We just came to check up on you..." oda spoke first. Not daring to move closer to the younger boy side. A good nodded in agreement. As he stuck near oda side. "What he said we jus-" "shut up and leave. That's what you can for me." Dazaic hissed out. How this took both older men by surprise. They never saw him like this. Always used to the relaxed, chaotic and funny dazai. But the one siting infort of them didn't seem like that boy. Ango sighed and spoke now "Alright, just know we are here for you if you need dazai" ango was the first to turn and leave. Oda have one last glance before nodding and turning away. Dazai turned back to the person he should of been paying attention too. He sighed as he held onto your hand. "Your important right now no one else. But right now I need to do something so don't become the next sleeping beauty." He let go you hand. Rising from his seat and leaving. He needed to do something. He needed someone to pay it blood.

Dazai returned in blood. He moved to sit in the same seat again that he originally sat in. Taking your hand again. He stared with a smile on his face. "My darling baby your dearest brother is back..." he mumbled not knowing if that was to comfort himself or you. He sighed and lowered his head to the bed as he sighed. It was quite for so long..... until his ears caught onto the beeping of the montioner and the quicken breath. A small "where I'm i..." escape your lips. It felt like a heavy weight was lifted off his chest as he quickly shot his head up. "I'm here my baby- I'm here don't move you idiot. Your injured." He hissed out as he stood up from the chair. He took your face looking over the small bandages that rested on the soft surface of you face. His eyes scan over everyone to make sure it was ok. "Dazai...? Where I'm I..?" "Your in the Port Mafia headquarters...my boss patched you up..." He mumbled before pressing a kiss to your forhead. He pulled away to see tears in your eyes. "Osamu...im sorry bug brother I di-" "shut up I don't care for that don't cry I'm here....I be by your side for now on don't worrie...big brother is here for you now" he gently moved to press your sholderes more into the hospital bed seeing that you where trying to get up. "Lay down. Don't you dare try to move to sit up." He spoke once more before holding your face again. His cold door eyes staring into your soft glowing one. He sighed for what felt the million time before moving to sit on the same chair. You seemed unbothered by the blood. Like him. Or it could be for the fact he came home like this on commonly.

It been a couple months since that accident and well dazai wasn't planing to leave your side. He started to become overbearing and overwhelming. "Where are you going." "Let me see what you have." "Who is that your texting?" He could demand to know. It wasn't a question. It was a statement. He wanted an answer every single time. You know how you guys used to sleep? Well not anymore. He needs to have his arm around you in the night. But if you didn't want he wouldn't mind piting his leg on you. This was completely respectful he didn't touch anywhere else he didn't need to touch. He also demanded hugs that he used to reject. Now he hugs and picks you up like nothing. Spinning you around as he giggled slightly. He did get you a new phone after awhile. But he placed a tracker on your phone. He only let you wear his old clothing that wasn't ruined.

With all that it was one of those days you tired to sneak out the house. He sometimes have late night work in the Mafia coming home tired and passing out on the bed. You managed to slip your body away from his hold. Seeking off to the small loving room. The house was small. Only having a bedroom, bathroom and just the living room with a TV and small couch. As you where about to open the door.

"Where are you going." His voice spoke. He may of just woken up and he walked over slumping onto you. His arms handing off your shouldes as you struggled to hold up his weight. He might of been light to other but when you put a 10 year old weight with a 15 year old it going to be hard. "Osamu! Get off me! Your going to crush me-" you whine as he didn't moved. He just let out a yawn as he moved one hand to kinda fixed his bed head and rub his one eye. Before pinching your cheeks. "I didn't was for that where are you going" he mumbled out as he chulked at your whine you let out. "I'm going to get something to ea-" other whine from you. "Be honest with me or your losing your tv time again" he spoke before hugging you. He picked you up and carried you back to bed despite your whines.

"Sleep it still early yet..." he mumbled before dropping you on the bed before laying ontop ot you. "Osamu get off your heavy!" He chuckled and closed his one eyes yawing again. "Na I'm good...." before you can even protest again he was out and sleeping ontop of you. He smelled of rum and blood. you cringed at the smell that hit you at once. "OSAMU-"

It would of been a couple years. Or when Osamu was 18 when oda died. He was a total mess. He didn't take his angry out at you how he did before. He changed man after all. He needed to think. Think of a way to get you both to safety. After all he was the oldest and pretty much an adult. You where now 13. God he keep your safe this long. But can he even do that now? But then when ango reached out to him. He took it immediately geting the two of you to go under the radar for as long as you both needed. After all this could be a way for him to make up from that time lost.

All that time he spent away he promise to make up. To be a better brother. To be worthy of holding that title. To be the only one to hold that title. You where is baby. He darling little sibling. Ever since that day you got hurt he did keep you safe. Killing anyone. Everyone that dare looking to long in a bad way. He would do anything to see you smile at him. See him as the brother disbute his rough attitude towards you.

You where his baby. He didn't want anything else but your safety and for you to be by his side.

Welp I might add more to this but this is all I got T^T

I hope this sound weird how dazai is- I swear it all platonic- and not like those sibbings-

Should I do ADA!dazai now-I mean- eh- mabye. I even toss a bot with that lol. I have to much free time on my hand

Welp I hope you guys enjoyed- sorry if this isn't what you expected 🧍

Proofread- nope not yet

Our Little Secret 🤫 Pt. 2

“It's on everybody's mind, about you and I They think so, but they don't really know”

Warnings: Teen AU

The week was turning out to be perfect. The pair quickly got into a routine. AZ’s alarm is smooth jazz that gently wakes them at 5:30am. From there they both get up to do some working out. Ri used the time to get film because AZ already had the home gym area equipped with a trampoline, and tumbling mats for Ri to do her cheer stunts on. AZ is a martial artist so she uses the time to get into shape. She is a 2nd Degree Black belt in Taekwondo, and lower ranking belts in Judo and Ju-Jitsu. AZ has competed in a few international competitions and won. She is also internationally ranked. All things no one knows at school. After workouts they shower and find clothes to match each other somehow. They do something for the day normally with friends, they then come home help cook, watch a movie and settle in for the night. The domestic life suits them; they can hug, touch, kiss, and cuddle with no limit. It's heaven.

A smooth jazz version of ICU is playing. AZ stirs awake with Ri in her arms not wanting to move “Baby come on time for workouts.” Ri scrunches her face with a whine. “Mmm not today let’s stay in bed.” AZ chuckles. “Why Baby you never want to stay in bed?” Ri finds AZ’s lips with her eyes closed pecking them. “I know but it’s day three and I just want to make this the longest week ever. If we never get it up, we will have a longer day.” “Baby that is not how that works but I will stay in bed with you. I like it here.” Ri licks her tongue along AZ’s jaw. “It is how it works.” AZ bites Ri’s cheek with no teeth in return. “You just licked me so you could be right. That’s not fair. If we never get up I won’t have to take you on the date I have planned.” Ri pops her head up and grins. “A date!? Oh yes please I want to have you on my arm so bad. Where are we going!? I don’t need anyone…” AZ cuts Ri off with a kiss to calm her. “Baby we are heading out of town for the day. Michigan City is about an hour away. They have a small zoo and some art galleries. We can make a day trip and no one will be there. Pack a bag.”

The girls pack and AZ gets behind the wheel to head out. “AZ Auntie is calling.” “Thank you Griot answer.” Holding hands over the armrest both girls smile as Okoye’s voice fills the car over the speakers. “Ahhh you two did not make this bed before you left. We have not hired the maid yet and Shuri Azari, you know better.” Both of them wince at the tone of Auntie’s voice. The girls have basically been living in AZ’s room like a small apartment so they have been lacking in the tidying up department. They will have to find a better cleaning routine. Okoye was not pleased at all by the unmade bed and blankets all over the couch. “Auntie, we are so so sorry. AZ and I were just in a rush. I wanted to spend this time with her, but I will personally clean the room top to bottom when we get back.” Ri always had a way with words that always made people forget what they were angry with her about. Okoye sighed knowing that this time is precious for them but still they have to do better. “Ahhh ok but as soon as you step foot in this house you will clean. As a matter of fact it will be Azari who does it. Be safe my iintsana.” With no verbal protest AZ shakes her head in disbelief how is it all on her?

The phone hangs up and the music starts up once more. SZA’s Snooze is playing over the speaker and AZ brings Ri’s hand to her mouth to kiss it. “You would be one hell of a lawyer, how did you sway her to give me the punishment? Also you smell like me.” Ri smiles warmly with no teeth. “I may have sprayed your cologne. I love to have it on me. But I don’t know how I just appealed to her nature. Auntie knows we don’t get the same freedom to date so I just made her feel bad.” Ri and AZ start to laugh. “Oh that is so wrong but soon no one will have a say in your life my Love. You will be 18 with money and a place to stay. We can love and live all we want then.” Ri huffs she hates this topic because while she understands the logic she wants to defy the logic. “AZ please I don’t care about being 18 if they kick me out they kick me out. I love you so much it hurts to be away from you. It hurts to act as if I don’t know you are at school or on the street. It hurts that I have to fear someone “outing me” to people who barely know me, let alone care for me. In order to be with you.” Tears start to well in her eyes. This has always been a conversation but AZ honestly does not want to convince her to wait anymore either.

The logic has been wearing thin over the past few months for AZ as well. She has only been trying to stick with her same song and dance to hide her true feelings. Losing T’Challa left her reeling and not having the ONE person she wanted by her side tore her apart. The emotions of grief were hard enough so the emotions of missing her girlfriend had to take a back seat. This has been causing her to resent everyone, especially Ri’s parents. In the moment of seeing her Love cry AZ could not hold back anymore. Pulling over into a rest stop AZ gets out of the car and walks over to Ri’s side with no words spoken. She just simply opens the door and pulls her girlfriend firmly into a hug. One they both needed. “If you no longer want to hide then we do not have to. I long to love you out loud so much Ri so whatever you want to do we will do it. I just need a few weeks to figure out how to protect your share of the company and money.” Ri cry’s softly into AZ's chest. “Baby I want to come out to my family, nothing crazy and I want to have pictures of us on social media.” She laughs at how almost silly it sounds. AZ cups her face kissing her sweetly. “We can do that in two weeks. Give me two weeks. I will post you every hour.” They dry their tears and continue to Michigan City.

The date was amazing. AZ arranged for them to have a pottery class, dinner and a walk along the lake at Washington Park. They held hands and kissed so many times Ri’s lips were numb. On the beach cuddled up they got a little more hot kissing a little longer than normal. It was getting dark so they thought it was fine only a few people walked by. Unknown to them Viv AZ’s arch nemesis and Ri’s frenemy was recording a live. All hell was about the break loose.

“Hey all out in boring ass Michigan City my family forced me out here to spend the evening. People are so gross it’s a couple out here kissing let’s get a look. Oh oop…is that who I think it is. A FREAK and Rihanna Williams out here kissing oh wow!!!” Viv zooms in, getting a clear view of them to the point they cannot deny it’s them. AZ and Ri both get a call at that same moment. It is Miles and MJ respectively. They are warning them in shock AZ calmly gets up and walks over to Viv who she sees maybe 20 yards away now that she is paying attention. AZ walks up and with no hesitation grabs the phone and shuts off the live.

Viv scrams. “You weirdo give me my phone! I will press charges for property damage if you break it!” AZ has a look of pure hate for Viv in her eyes. “No…” Rihanna speaks over AZ stopping the entire confrontation. “Vivian Greene you clout chasing bitch. She didn’t break it nor will she. You are weird for filming people without permission. That’s a criminal offense but we all know you are not new to being in trouble with the law.” Handing her back the phone. Ri stares at Viv with a smirk.

Notifications from everyone are going wild in Viv’s dms but the live’s recording has already been wiped. Viv smirks back, “Maybe so but you would never want your parents to find out about your little relationship. It’s honestly sick.” AZ steps up even though she would never use her skills to hurt someone she will use them to protect. “Vivian, you have two seconds to back away from Ri. Or I will just have to move you. The video was live so it may have already reached her parents. Just know that my lawyers will have contact with you soon about this matter.”

Viv glared at AZ and backed up seeing how muscular AZ actually is. “I hope they disown you for good Ri. You could have had any boy in the school but you wanted this thing!” AZ’s face is stern; she is ready to drop Viv if she takes one step. “Viv you’re just mad it isn’t you I chose or do you not remember the time you tried to kiss me in 8th grade. Also where is your daughter? Or are you still going with her being your sister?”

Viv stared at Ri with a mixture of embarrassment and hatred. “So what? She may be my child but at least I’m not gay!” Riri stands there with a smirk playing on her lips. “Oh so not only being denied a kiss by me in the 8th grade but having a threesome with a girl and the boy you got pregnant by is not at least bisexual? That’s cute.” Viv backs up more. “Fine Williams you win but I also hope you are prepared for your Mommy and Daddy to be on your case.”

I don't usually post out of context random drafts but I was going through some of my WIPs and decided this one was decent enough to share. So here's a little blurb of me and my partner's Stardew Valley OCs for fun! This hasn't really been edited much so don't mind if it's clunky.

Shane manages the best he can to leave quietly once Ju-Ri is finally off to sleep. Having to hop out the window isn't the most ego-boosting thing for a guy to do. Especially in his current shape, it wasn't too easy either. The two of them were basically together at this point, they fucked more days out of the week than not. But besides that, they hung out…normally as well. He was surprised Ju-Ri was still keeping their relationship hidden, but he didn’t dare pry into the matter. Luckily, Shane didn't always have to make an escape plan late into the night, but when he did, it was dreadful.

Shane figures Hei-Ran, Ju-Ri's seemingly overbearing older sister, has to be asleep at this point. It's probably well close to 4 AM. Surely if he walks quietly enough and moves the door slowly, she wouldn't wake up. Shane makes his way to the front door of the house, mumbling a profanity at the fact that it's the only entrance and exit other than the many windows. He twists the knob very slowly, careful not to let it click when it opens and turns. Once he's sure he can, Shane opens the door smoothly, the hinges blessing him with silence. He closes the door the same way he opened it, and then quickly starts to shove his shoes back on. He can't see much in the very early break of dawn, but it's just enough for him to amble home safely.

"Hello"

"Jesus fuck!" He nearly shouts, instead it's a harsh whisper, the sudden voice a couple feet from him causes Shane to drop his sneaker loudly on the porch.

Hei-Ran sits politely in a porch chair, staring at the guilty man in front of her, "Long night?" She jests, evident that she’s aware of their situation. The palm of Shane's hand drags along his features before he pinches the bridge of his nose.

"Something like that,” he scoffs.

"May I ask why you're leaving my house at,” She glances around her as if to estimate the time from the sunrise, “What is it now, four in the morning?"

"Figured you'd be sleepin', got tired of using the damn window," Shane confessed, obviously annoyed that he managed to get caught despite his cautiousness.

Hei-Ran quirks her eyebrow, "So that's where you typically flee from," she takes a sip of her tea. He curses himself mentally for slipping up. Even though her countenance is quite calm, Shane feels intimidated by her aura.

Shane throws his hands out to his side as if to shrug, "So…" Ju-Ri was going to kill him for getting caught for sure.

“Well, if you’d like to stay for breakfast you can. I’ll be starting it soon,” Hei-Ran offered. Contrary to what Shane expected, she didn’t seem mad. Her offer was genuine, her mood tranquil. Her discontent would likely be directed at Ju-Ri later for her secrets and lying. He cringed slightly at the idea of Ju-Ri’s fiery rage coming towards him in return later.

“I better get going,” Shane shuffled a foot on the porch, looking out onto their farm. Marnie’s wasn’t far from here, and he needed to rest for a few more hours before work, “Thanks though,” the gratitude rolled off his tongue awkwardly, and he shambled off the porch steps with haste, disappearing into the dreariness of the dawn’s shadow. Hei-Ran finished her hot tea before standing to head inside and start breakfast.

~

A few hours later, Ju-Ri got up at her usual time.

“You’re up early,” She yawned to Hei-Ran as she grabbed some coffee, “Must be getting old,” She giggled before hopping in a seat at the table. Hei-Ran gave little reaction to her statement, she was used to her little sister quipping at her.

Ju-Ri’s behavior was typical, it always was even when she was hiding something. It was something she got used to doing over the years. Her history of displeasing her parents only made her better at being sneaky. Hei-Ran finished up with her cooking, and brought the food over to the table where Ju-Ri watched the TV as she sipped her coffee. Steam was still curling over the rim of the cup. In a show of polite manners, Hei-Ran served Ju-Ri food onto her plate.

"Thanks," Ju-Ri's gaze was still focused on the screen in front of her, a news anchor's voice announcing the weather forecast.

"So," Hei-Ran started, gracefully putting food onto her own plate, "I saw Shane this mor-"

"Idiot!" Ju-Ri shouted, slamming her fist into the table, plates rattling against the surface. Hei-Ran jumped back at the severity of her tone.

"Ju-Ri," Hei-Ran said in a stern tone, like a mother scolding her child.

"Look, if you're going to get onto me for it I don't want to hear it," Ju-Ri said begrudgingly, throwing her hand out to the side like she had already given up.

"It's not like I haven't known," Hei-Ran treads carefully, shrugging her shoulders, "I just don't understand why you kept it a secret from me. I'm not going to be upset with you."

"You were when it was Sebastian," Ju-Ri's arms were crossed, avoiding eye contact with her sister, who was now visibly tense.

"That was different," Hei-Ran's lips are pursed, tension evident in her shoulders.

"Whatever," Ju-Ri started shoveling food into her mouth in a fussy manner, "As long as you don't bother me about it."

Hei-Ran gives a disappointed sigh, “You don’t have to hide it from me. I like Shane,” she looks into her sister's eyes, whose gaze is focused back onto Hei-Ran, “He’s welcome here whenever. I mean that.”

Ju-Ri’s face becomes tinged with pink as she turns her head away, taking another gulp of her drink. She gets up from the table, gathering her dishes. Without saying another word to Hei-Ran, she heads out the door to take care of the animals. Hei-Ran knows Ju-Ri isn’t typically as closed off about this sort of thing. That’s how she knows this is different. Ju-Ri wouldn't necessarily shy away from telling her sister she was fooling around with someone. But this wasn’t that simple, and Hei-Ran knew that. Luckily, she was patient enough to wait for Ju-Ri to realize why she felt the way she did.

Totnt 1938! Episode 6 thoughts!

*Spoiler Alert*

Another episode! Another long post that no one asked for 🙈 Here's how I felt about it-

Cheon Moo young, Yeon and Hyung ju's dynamics. There is so much conflict and emotions involved there that I don't even know how to feel about it all. They had some really sweet scenes today and it's clear that they cared for each other. Now, I don't know who is capable of killing whom. But well, we will get to know.

Coming to my boy Rang ❤ I really find him and the mermaid cute. The girl is so hopelessly in love already and I love the way she looks at Rang. I don't know why but sometimes their interaction ends up giving me this foreboding vibe, like when she mentioned that she will protect him. I don't know why it tends to scare me. I really loved the scene where my boy refuses to drop her home but still keeps an eye on her till she reaches home safely. 🥺 How Rang subtly and discretely cares for people is the reason why I love him so much 🥺❤ Also, the scene where he plays the piano. Oh god, Miss mermaid and all of us only have heart eyes 😍 So cute 😍😂

Tbh, I was a little clueless about the storyline that was going on today with this new monster Jang San Beom. I think it will make more sense by the next episode. And I don't know but I somehow don't care about this Eun-ho (future Yu-ri). I am really sad about it coz I loved her in the previous season but I don't feel much for her in this one till now.

Now, my utmost favourite part again this episode was Yeon and Rang's interactions. I wanted to give one slap to Yeon's idiotic head when he was about to strike Rang without even checking. Thank god for Shin ju for such occasions. But apart from that, everytime Rang worries about Yeon and tries to hide behind his hard exterior, my heart breaks a little. My boy was legit like " Take me along, I will have your back. I don't trust that friend of yours". The look he gives Cheon moo young when him and Yeon are finally going is one of absolute distrust coz he cares about his brother. How he is trying to help in whichever way he can but being all cold about it. Yeon cheekily telling him 'thank you for worrying about me' coz it's so evident. Ah, my heart. For Rang's sake, I want Yeon to be safe and come back and have that bowl of naengmyeon that he promised my boy. 🥺❤

So again, almost everything I loved about the episode had much to do with Rangie baby. The preview of the next episode again shows him getting hurt, so can the writers please stop with that. It's getting too much guys, watching him bleed every alternate episode.

I am gonna go completely crazy waiting for the weekend this time 🥺

Worried baby boy 🥺

All of us are Dead. 지금 우리 학교는. 7.6/10

I would recommend this drama to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this drama.

I only really know Lee Kyu Hyung from Prison Playbook, so seeing him in this role, he's kinda hot. The archers are cool, hot damn. Ha Ri is my fav character. The archers in general. Okay, but the mouse was kinda cute before it went crazy. Omg that crawl slide on the hospital floor is legendary. The real chemistry is between Su Hyeok and Chung San. Bro the knife toss at Chung San was crazy. The library parkour was fun to watch. I would love a dad like Nam So Ju who is that committed to his values. Also, once he got dressed in black and got that gun, he got kinda hot. Honestly, Dae Su would be nice to have around. He's like committed to fighting, is real and honest, is entertaining, and is just a lovely fellow. Soo Hyuk is actually p good at fighting ngl.

The bullies making the girl undress immediately balled up my fists. My patience would be so tested in this setting. I'd be so fed up with anyone who gets in my way. I also can't with people who lie about the sickness. Like people lie all the time about being sick, but this one is deathly and contagious?? My anger boiled again when Eun Ji was having her bullying flashbacks.

So many things are happening on this day at this one school regardless of the zombies. I can't believe no one chose to go to the rooftop initially. It doesn't even make sense that zombies have such good hearing and can't find them that easily. I feel like all these zombies are moving very ineffectively, but also the one that didn't listen to the music, was moving so effectively. I do not need a guy like Chung San to like me. He's so inexpressive. I get that he's in high school, but still. The uniforms are really giving me team Slytherin. I honestly don't know if I could overcome the trauma of witnessing a loved one of mine becoming a zombie. I would cry if someone said to me what Ha Ri said to On Jo about her dad going to heaven. That's like so kind to hear. I cried a good chunk.

Poor Chun San's mom. God, I feel for Mi Jin when she loses Joon Sung.

All of Us Are Dead (2022) [Remarks (by episode)]

EPISODE 1

• Damnnit. Su-hyeok should have done more for Eun-ji and her reputation. Maybe he believed something like it wasn't his place and could indeed make it worse by meddling. Among other things. But still... :/

EPISODE 2

• "Heads" of schools are so often so effin' dense. Geez. Trying to reason with them is worse than talking to a brick wall hoping to get through it. *facepalm*

EPISODE 3

• It's characters like Lee Na-yeon that I tend to dislike the most and have no compassion for. At first, you may be like, "Okay, so they're privileged and pretty out of touch. But nobody is perfect and people change! I could be bitchy too before..." And then they start pulling shit (and crying when they're facing the consequences of their actions).

IMO, one of the worst kinds of person to have in a team. IDC if they're right at times.

• Yang Dae-su is like the complete opposite. Jeez. Purest and biggest heart of gold.

• Spoiler: Jang Ha-ri LIVES! And I had no idea I would grow to like this character so much when she was first introduced...

EPISODE 4

• You wouldn't believe how heroic Nam So-ju is...

• And Park Mi-jin is so feisty and quarrelsome.

But such a good teammate after all...

EPISODE 5

• Cheong-san is tougher, smarter, kinder, and more deadly than he looks and you'd initially assume. Messing with him is not a good idea.

• The conversation about what if everyone turned and they're the only humans left hits so different now...

• Yoon Gwi-nam is the worst. *shudders*

EPISODE 6

• Trying not to say more than I should before upcoming episodes and the ending, but... Choi Nam-ra is OP. Top student and top fighter.

EPISODE 7

• Call me biased, but when it comes to Min Eun-ji, I'm like, "YASS, SLAAAY!!"

• Welp. If they all leave the school in this instance, that'd be it.

EPISODE 8

• I love how Min Eun-ji, by dealing with her pain, indirectly freed the group to be out on the rooftop and relatively safer. Not the abuse and neglect, though. People are messed up.

• The reluctant "villain". Though, I mean, if you've been severely bullied or outcasted by your peers (and chances are they're all turned or infected, anyway), it kind of follows that you'd hate the place and everyone in it or be indifferent about it all. He may just have been honoring another's rage wish, too.

• Am I supposed to feel bad because she starts showing signs of having some humanity? Well, I don't. She had plenty of opportunities to do the right thing but over and over chose her own comfort and convenience over it. It didn't matter that the teacher who sacrificed herself for her practically begged her to do better and help others. She still chose to be selfish until her bit of conscience (or maybe a literal ghost), and probably her loneliness most of all, finally pushed her to more. I'm not saying go get killed by a zombie, but missed me with that sympathy-seeking. And if I had to guess, she'd be the kind to revert to her old ways once she has it going good for herself again.

EPISODE 9

• Is there a politician that isn't a phony?

EPISODE 10

...

EPISODE 11

• Hmm... Seeing someone you love, or just knew, turn all the way into a Zombie must be a whole other kind of grief. Because you remember the person they were before and you want to hang on to that, and maybe even cherish it, but then in front of you is the same body acting in wildly contrary ways. And you'd have to tell your brain not to override who they were with this new behavior but it would still do. Then there's the hope that there's a cure and you can bring them back again, but that's rarely the case in zombie stories.

• It always both baffled and irritated me to no end the obsession of Yoon Gwi-nam with fighting Lee Cheong-san. But it makes sense that Lee Cheong-san could upset him so. Besides Yoon Gwi-nam just being generally violent and wanting to take that out.

EPISODE 12

• I'm sorry if anyone saw themselves in Park Ji-hoo but, to me, she came across as an NPC - there to prompt the rest of the characters to show different sides or degrees of them as well as to display how emotions can be processed or moral stances taken. I wanted to take it all seriously, but couldn't help but be amused at parts to watch others interact with her as though they were all interacting with a non-entity rather than with a number of other characters they would have shown those sides and degrees to. 😂

Or maybe she's the writer's self-insert? Anyhow, thank you for that, Park Ji-hoo, whatever or whoever you are.

FINAL

• I regret not having written down my favorite lines as I was watching all the episodes. There were some true gems in there. I'd have to rewatch for all of them now. 😭

But off the top of my head right now: Loved Ha-ri's profoundness showing, as well as the thoughtfulness of the teacher, Sun-hwa, and the boldness of Cheong-san. 💛💛💛

Green-Eyed Monster

Genre: Revenge romance? Is that a category? It is now. 

Summary: Ju-Ri doesn't understand how a nice normal guy like Gang-Tae could fall for someone awful like Mun-Yeong, little moments into their relationship provide clarity and envy in equal parts. 

Author Notes: We have already been so well-fed today, but here I am offering more food, if you’re a glutton then eat it all up! Thank y’all for voting for this one and making me temporarily table the High School AU, today’s episode has given me SO MANY IDEAS. SO MANY. So I will definitely be writing that this week, stay tuned! 

p.s: I planned on being meaner to Ju-Ri but as a feminist it’s hard for me to shit on women no matter how much you irk my soul. I just want us all to succeed and not compete, especially not for men. But never fear, jealousy and mild torture is still here. 

Ju-Ri avoids the front nurse's desk as she makes her rounds, checking on the patients and then checking on them again, better safe than sorry, anything to ignore the news that all her colleagues are chattering about in excitable voices. Gang-Tae and that woman. She doesn't understand how he could be with someone like her. Prior, to that witch crash landing into their lives she had considered her and Gang-Tae close, friends even. They didn't need to communicate often, they had moments of silence that spoke volumes, she told herself. It was only a matter of time until they.....

Then she had appeared. Like a bad dream.

Reeling him in on her line and despite his attempts to wriggle free, she captured him. Ju-Ri watched them circle around each other, him chasing after her every time she was on her war path and Ju-Ri couldn't help the frustration that washed over her as she wondered why? What was it about that woman that made everyone overlook all her glaring flaws? She was selfish, brash, and downright mean. Her touch was the killing blow to everything and everyone around her. She knew that in due time, the sweet caretaker would be next. She was like Medusa, staring too long would ultimately lead to your downfall.

These thoughts swimming in her mind caused her to walk right into them. In a sense. Turning the corner, with a grimace on her concern bitten lips she found the very pair she was ruminating about. Her eyes widen as she took in the scene in front of her; Ko Mun-Yeong had Gang-Tae cornered, their faces closer than was acceptable for the work place. His blush was apparent even from her distance, as if someone had taken a red paintbrush to his cheeks. Mun-Yeong smirked, leaning in even closer, until Ju-Ri was sure they were sharing a breath. The way he was panting made it clear that he was not getting an adequate amount of air. Her eyes tightened into a glare, of course that bitch wouldn't even let Gang-Tae breathe without hindering him. Vaguely she overheard their exchange.

"Mun-Yeong calm down, we can't do this at work. " He said to no avail, knees buckling as as Mun-Yeong dismissed his requests and placed a hand on his cheek dragging him dangerously close.

"This is your fault for being so pretty. I can feel your eyes on me when I'm teaching. It makes me want to end the class and jump you." She finished her suggestive statement with a snap of her teeth, her lips pursing as Gang-Tae swayed as if hypnotized. "Just one kiss and I'll leave you alone. I promise. I'll be a good girl." She pressed on, her words contradicting with the evil smile that spread across her ruby lips. He groaned in response, while she widened her eyes in mock innocence. Moving ever closer.

Gang-Tae stood stock-still, hands tightened in fists, a vein protruding from his heated neck, as the she-demon took his silence as confirmation, cupping his strong jaw into her hands, drawing him closer, closer, their lips on the cusp-

Before she abruptly threw the patient charts in her grasp on the ground. The crash echoing down the hallway, breaking the couple from their reprieve. Gang-Tae leapt back like he was on fire, dipping under and out of Mun-Yeong's evil clutches, absently straightening his placidly pastel uniform. Mun-Yeong on the other hand, did not seem the least bit bothered, turning much like the cat that almost got the milk. Her face lighting up when she spotted Ju-Ri, menacing smile covering her face, before the sound of her heels filled Ju-Ri's ears- who even wore heels to a hospital?- until they were face to face.

She paused to bend down and pick up the charts Ju-Ri had accidentally dropped and Ju-Ri pretended not to see how raptly Gang-Tae watched the smooth motion, his eyes hungrily examining the abundance of skin that was visible under her short pale lilac skirt. He licked his lips, lost in the sight before him. Ju-Ri coughed loudly, his eyes guiltily shifted away, intensely staring at the wall instead as if just noticing that it was here.

"Here." Mun-Yeong pushed the chart into her limp hands, "This is yours." And she heard the unsaid message, Gang-Tae is not. She didn't respond to the quip, snatching the charts from the outstretched hands and looking intently at Gang-Tae, shocked that he would allow this sort of behavior at his place of work. She turned away in annoyance at finding him distracted again. Mun-Yeong was smoothing out invisible wrinkles in her skirt, his eyes were fixed on the quick movements of her hand. Surprisingly enough, Mun-Yeong was the one to end this intolerable awkward moment, turning back to Gang-Tae and wrapping her claws around his thick neck, his ears pinking up at the sudden attention, as she stage whispered, "Next time, you won't be so lucky, these lips will be mine. " And with that she was gone, leaving him suspended in the moment before he shook myself and walked off without a word to Ju-Ri.

With a defeated grunt, she stomped off, maybe the patients needed a third check in.

After finding a nice pillow to scream into, Ju-Ri started to thinking rationally, their relationship was clearly purely sexual. Gang-Tae was such a shy guy, he was merely excited to be with someone as experienced as Mun-Yeong and okay, maybe if you squinted and looked sideways while hopping on one leg, one might consider Mun-Yeong pretty. She bristled at the memory of her very own mother expressing that, she wasn't that pretty. If anything she was terrifying and that far outweighed any external beauty. Ergo, it was only a matter of time before Gang-Tae reached this conclusion and the world would be right once more.

This was the only thought that kept her from violently scalping herself.

Unpacking her lunch, the familiar scents of her mom's home-cooked meal filled her senses, glad for a quiet moment. She ate, pointedly thinking of nothing and no one, until the chair across her was pulled out and occupied, thankfully it was only her mom, who she greeted with a tight smile. She was still coming to terms with the fact that her own mother had befriended her arch nemesis, for lack of a better term. This was after calling said woman; pretty, all but escorting Gang-Tae to her macabre castle and through her advice, helping them reconcile after he had finally escaped. It wasn't that Ju-Ri didn't want Gang-Tae to be happy, that's all she wanted, but she knew first hand what happened to those who got too close to Mun-Yeong, she was a walking danger ahead sign.

Why did no one heed the warning until it was too late?

They lapsed into small talk, how was your day? I made the dumplings you like, here have some. It was all too good to be true, that should have been her first sign that she should evacuate the premises. But she figured that they wouldn't be as shameless as to rub their relationship in her face, she was mistaken.

As she was looking up, she saw movement at the cafeteria's entrance, eyes landing on Gang-Tae unaware of Mun-Yeong sneaking up behind him, until she slid her arm through his larger arm, linking them with a broad smile. She said something to him that made him stumble over his steps, before righting himself and gazing down into her dark gaze. They stood there, unmoving, eyes locked, completely disregarding everyone around them, all but obliterating her appetite.

She waited for him to break the chain of their arms, as he had done in the parking lot, when she had made the mistake of looking back at the commotion behind her.

He didn't.

He allowed himself to be dragged by Mun-Yeong's smaller stature, until she realized with sharp realization that Mun-Yeong was traipsing to her table. Seeing her mother's answering wave and smile, an ice cold slap of betrayal hit her. Did this woman intend to take everything from her? She huffed in indignation, turning her body away from the approaching pair.

Her mother gently knocked her feet under the small table, that was about to feel even smaller. Claustrophobic,even.

She pretended not to notice and stuffed more food into her mouth, hoping that no one would try to engage her in a conversation.

Her mother greeted them, Gang-Tae, ever thoughtful, saw her reaction and quickly stated that they planned on eating outside, they just wanted wanted to say hi.

"Why can't we all eat together? I want to stay." Mun-Yeong innocently maliciously inquired, looking at her newest victim and Ju-Ri watched his jaw tighten out of the corner of her eye, he pulled her with their interlocked arms, the force resulting in their bodies colliding.

"Don't be silly, of course we can all eat together. I brought extra food for that very purpose, I don't want to see those atrocious sandwiches, that's not a real meal." Her mother stated, leaving no room for argument. Ju-Ri wanted to argue, to shout that she didn't want to be anywhere near her, they weren't friends and she didn't plan on acting like they were, damn it. 

A chill washed over her as she considered the seating arrangement, her mother sat across from her, leaving an empty chair next to them both. She should have sat next to her before it was too late. 

Gang-Tae shuffled awkwardly, also noticing the conundrum, before Mun-Yeong easily slid into the seat next to her mother, causing Ju-Ri's mouth to open in shock. Was she actually going to let Gang-Tae sit next to her? His eyes exhibited his surprise as well before he took the last remaining seat. Mun-Yeong smirked as if amused by her discomfort, before accepting the handful of food that was being pressed into her waiting hands.

They ate in relative silence, Mun-Yeong and her mother leading the conversation, she tuned them out, silently seething at the mere fact that they seemed so comfortable in each other's presence.

The loud clicks of chopsticks knocking against a surface made her look up and she watched as Mun-Yeong chased a slippery quail egg with to avail, lips curled in disdain as she cursed the elusive delectable treat. Gang-Tae's warm chuckle hit her ear, "Here, let me help." The fondness coating his voice made her stomach churn, as he delicately picked up and placed the egg in her bed of rice, Mun-Yeong smiled in return batting her eyelashes, "My hero."

In all her years of knowing Gang-Tae she had never seen him so attentive, unless it was with his brother. She wasn't the first person to have a crush on him, but like her all others had been denied. Gang-Tae was a mystery that didn't want to be solved, sweet and calm, but unattainable. Yet here he was soft and eager, doting over Mun-Yeong, who was now tapping her spoon against the bowl of beef, expectant look in her eyes.

He didn't react at first. Pushing the bowl closer to her instead, but she was relentless. Opening her mouth as she continued to click, eyes drilling into his face, until he backed down with a sigh, easily picking up the meat and bringing it to her bowl, only for her to bend her head and close her mouth around his chopsticks instead. With a resonating hum of approval, she took the meat, maintaining eye contact during the entire ordeal, which in reality lasted a few seconds but it felt like hours to Ju-Ri, forced to watch this inappropriately intimate moment. Gang-Tae coughed and shifted in his seat, long legs squeezing together, as Mun-Yeong smiled salaciously, licking her lips.

"I have to get back to work." She was glad when nobody called her out for leaving fifteen minutes before her allotted break was over.

Alcohol was her only friend. She picked up cases of beer, planning to drink herself into a stupor after the week she had. Everywhere she turned, they were there disgustingly wrapped up in each other, she dearly wanted to blame it all on Mun-Yeong and her obsession but....she watched him trail after her whenever she got too far. More than four feet was his limit. He would pace the hallway outside the room that was designated for her literature class, peeking in and fleeing with a blush when he was met by Mun-Yeong's jubilant smile.

She didn't want to think about them, not today, she just wanted to drown herself in her liquid friend and remember better days when Mun-Yeong was a distant memory.

So of course, she heard their voices as she ascended the stairs leading to her rooftop. Kicking the wall in anger, fighting the urge to throw a tantrum and fling her beer at their heads. If she wasn't safe in her own house, where was she safe?

Their quiet voices could be heard over the slight breeze in the night air, "What's wrong? You've been upset all day." Mun-Yeong's deep voice break the silence. No response came for long seconds, and she pressed on, "Are you upset about work?" Pause. "Is it your brother?" Longer pause. "What? Are you mad at me?" Another pause. Mun-Yeong must have seen something on his face because her resounding aaahhhhhh was loud and clear.

"Okay so you're upset with me? Are you mad that I tried to ravish you in the supply closet?"

Ew. She mentally told herself to never go in that closet.

There was no response.

"Okay not that, good because I know you liked that. All those delicious moans you were making made it clea--” 

"You're still texting him." He thankfully cut her off, Ju-Ri was grateful as she felt her own cheeks heating up, mostly in shame. She knew she should leave before this conversation took any more turns but her feet refused to listen to her brain.

She tried to think of who this mysterious man was. How many hopeless men had Mun-Yeong trapped in her web? If she had so many men, why did she have to take Gang-Tae too? It just wasn't fair.

"Who?" She took a step up the stairs until she would see them, sitting close on the table, Gang-Tae's long legs dangling off the surface as Mun-Yeong sat crisscrossed facing him in a too-big shirt that hit her knee. It didn't take a genius to surmise whose shirt she was wearing, Ju-Ri thought bitterly, the only silver lining that it wasn't a piece of clothing they'd bought together.

Mun-Yeong had a butter wouldn't melt on my tongue expression on her face and Ju-Ri wanted to slap her again, why was she always playing innocent with him? She was anything but.

Gang-Tae didn't fall for her act thankfully instead starting to stand up, anger clear in the sharp lines of his body. Mun-Yeong's hand shot out and pulled him back down onto the table, she crawled closer, then he sat motionless, eyes low on her face.

"Are you jealous? He's a friend now. We become close during our- she gestured to them- break. " His lips snarled.

"He likes you."

"So?" Mun-Yeong responded, "Why does that matter? I don't like him, not like that."

Gang-Tae seemed taken back by her answer, huffing and then deflating before whispering in a defeated voice, "I just don't like it. I don't like the way he looks at you."

A sultry giggle fell from Mun-Yeong's smirking lips, "How does he look at me? Is it the same way you look at me? Does it make your heart ache? Do you like me?" With each question, she moved progressively closer, until she was planted in Gang-Tae's lap. Legs straddling him as he grabbed her waist, as she momentarily lost her balance.

He let out a furious breathe of air.

"I don't notice because I'm only ever looking at you." And then with startling accuracy, her eyes met Ju-Ri's, she felt a chill run through her bones, "And I'm not the only one that looks at you. You work and live with someone who is always looking at you. I don't mind, because I know you're mine. When you lose control, just grab me and kiss me. I'm yours to kiss. Stop being jealous and enjoy the fact that you have me."

Gang-Tae's eyes roamed her lips, thumb running across the plush opening, "You're the only one I want to look at me too. I don't see anyone else but you, you drive me so crazy." With a swift pull, he grabbed her head, intent clear on his face. Following through on her offer.

She bolted down the stairs before she could see their lips join, but not before hearing the crash as Mun-Yeong successfully tackled Gang-Tae, wet noises loud in the dark of night.

She got black out drunk in her bedroom. Telling herself she remembers nothing the next morning. Ignoring the indecently large red marks that mars Gang-Tae's neck as they awkwardly stumble around each other, leaving the house at the same time.

The director berates them all in his office, Ko Dae-Hwan, Mun-Yeong's father had attempted to choke her yet again, this time following her class. Someone had forgotten that he was explicitly not allowed to take that class and brought him, and as she was exiting the room, he had thrown his body across the stretch separating them, crushing hands tight around her neck, squeezing out her last breath. All the patients had started screaming, the room a chaotic mess, until finally they'd been able to sedate him and pry her from his grip.

Mun-Yeong had fled the room with tear-filled eyes and a glare directed at them as they had been making sure all the patients, including her father were okay.

Looking down the line, she realizes that Gang-Tae was missing from this reprimand. He was on a break when the situation had taken place. It didn't taken long before he burst through the door, "Where is she?" He only had eyes for the director, frantic and ready to run at a moment's notice.

The director replied, "Nurse Byeol saw her go into the women's room." And he was off, not bothering to spare the rest of them a glance.

She was only going to wash her hands she told herself, she didn't care how Mun-Yeong was doing, she was always fine. She wasn't sure Mun-Yeong even had feelings. Remembering, the manic smile that had spread across her face the last time her father had attempted to end her life.

"I'm here, it's okay. You're okay." Gang-Tae's deep voice echoed on the bathroom walls, soothing and calm. "I'm sorry I wasn't there, I'm so sorry. I'll never leave you again. I will protect you." He promised resolutely, sounding like her suffering was physically hurting him too.

She shouldn't be hearing this. It was too intimate a moment for outside ears.

She turned to give them privacy, but not before hearing Mun-Yeong tearfully state, "It's not the first time. He tried to kill me when I was a kid, why does he hate me?" Her voiced cracked on the last word, and Ju-Ri ran out of the room, eyes dewy.

She watched with her heart in her throat as minutes later they left together, Gang-Tae asking to leave early, the look on his face clearly saying he would leave with or without permission, their fingers interlocked, as he pulled her limp body out of the hospital.

He briefly stopped to place a gentle hand on Mun-Yeong's head, whispering something only she could hear, bringing a wet smile to her face. It was so tender, Ju-Ri couldn't watch.

The scene kept replaying in her head for days, what was it like to have someone want to protect you that way? Gang-Tae lost all inhibitions when it came to Mun-Yeong, he was bold and brazen and fiercely protective. Hurting anyone who dared to hurt her. She overheard from Cha-Young, that he had demanded to be the one to stand guard whenever Mun-Yeong was leading her classes.

He had stormed into the director's office and ordered that, stating that he was the only one who could adequately protect her.

That was where he was know she supposed, she hadn't seen him all day, she walked down the hallway leading to the class needing to understand their relationship, what made Mun-Yeong so special? If she started acting like a bitch would that get his attention? Was he attracted to her because they were such opposites, lost dissonances who found their way to each other?

Her thoughts stalled at the scene before her, the hospital would need to be routinely sanitized.

Gang-Tae towered over Mun-Yeong, hands firm on her waist as she giggled and attempted to pull away, "What are you doing? You said we weren't allowed to do this here anymore. Why don't you have to follow the rules you create?" She eyed him coyly, twisting out of his hold, only for him to easily drag her back, slamming her into the wall. His hand cushioned her head.

"I told you not to wear this to work, you're supposed to teach them, not seduce them." He retorted sternly, eyeing her ensemble, Ju-Ri agree her outfit was completely inappropriate for work. She donned, a emerald pleated skirt that barely reached her thighs, soft diaphanous white blouse with a bow tied at the neck, white laced boots and frilly socks.

"I think I look cute, like a blushing school girl. I thought you would like it." She answered from under her thick, wispy eyelashes. Her soft pink lips, opening in wonder. The picture of innocence.

He growled and leaned into her space, "I like it too much, that's exactly why you shouldn't wear it. I might lose control." He fingered, the pleats, tugging the skirt down as if to lengthen it.

She nodded her head, smacking his hands off her skirt with a tsk. Before lifting up onto her tiptoes, blowing warm air gently on his face, causing his eyes to flutter close, "Good."

Then she walked sashayed away, skirt swishing with each swing and dip of her hip. One final coy look over her shoulder, blowing a kiss and then a cheeky raspberry. Pssssst. 

He grasped the spot where she just was, watching her retreat with heated eyes, before finally letting out a frustrated, "Ko Mun-Yeong!" Before turning and entering the locker room with the reverberating slam of the door.

She didn't understand their relationship, didn't understand why Mun-Yeong deserved Gang-Tae and she didn't. Didn't understand how she made him lose control when nothing else could. Still didn’t see the appeal.  But maybe it wasn't her place to understand. Maybe it was time to stop dreaming an impossible dream.

There is way too much that I've left to say about tonight's episode. So here's another post.

The way his eyes lit. I felt that. They're still kids and we don't know how their love lives will go but here at this particular moment, I Jun realised Bo Ra is going to be a part of his life. Give these kids all accolades and awards.

And here's her proud parents. Currently, they're the only couple in the show I think. And their tandem is beautiful. The way they bicker but look at them here. So proud and waiting for another little bundle. Also, in previous episode, he made himself a makeshift chair for his wife. That was so subtly shown but so meaningful.

I love this show.

Oh Yoon. Chun Jae. What do I call him. He is the softest in the show. Passionate about his art but needs assurance that he's good enough once a while. Loves his daughter more than anything in the world. It's really nice seeing supporting actors having such fleshed out storylines. Also, his Vincenzo character is fresh in memory and he does this next.

Finally, for now that is, Ju Ri. Frankly I'd have been annoyed by her character but nope. I love her. She is adorable in her own feisty way. Loves her idol oppa a little too much but she's still a teenager and it's okay as long as it doesn't get delusional. And girl really won in her stan life. Truly a legend.

There's other characters too and they'll be getting their own stories to tell in coming episodes. And I trust the writers to keep presenting these beautiful scenarios. We're close to midway, and hopefully it continues like this.

You mentioned how Ju Jing asks to court Ju Ling. How did it happen for Cherry and Ju Jing?

For Cherry and Ju Jing it actually happened in two different moments.

Ri Shi confessed first, she performed this whole dance with swords for the other demon. But even tho Ju Jing did reciprocate her feelings, as much as it broke his heart, he had to tell her that he still needed time before he could get into a relationship again. And Cherry accepted that, she knew that that was a big possibility after all.

After some time (I don't know how long yet, maybe a few months) Ju Jing feels like he can finally start courting Ri Shi with no fears. So he tries to learn the dance she performed for him (without the swords obviously), but the problem is that he gets discovered. By Macaque. So the two end up in a very awkward staring contest for a solid minute (Macaque is still a little shit, after all, so what if he gives his future son-in-law a heart attack for thinking he might destroy him here and now). But thankfully, the shadow demon only ends up helping Ju Jing with learning the dance.

Hi! Since your requests are open!! Could you please write a scenario with Kuroo where the girl and him are travelling via subway but it's too crowded and so kuroo shields her body with his so that she's away from other people and so they kinda stand too close?? Bonus points if both are mutually pining over each other feel something electric between them due to this and. Idk they kiss when he drops her at home or something djdkdkkd PRETTY PLEASE? 🥺🥺♥️♥️

omg don't think I don't love this request because I really do (I mean obvi, im writing it)

I just don't have the energy for a whole witty author's note, so forgive the bluntness!

Oh also this a kuroo x gn reader, idk the word count, and the summary is above, ok enjoy!

(Kuroo is my fave omg I loved writing this, also lmk if there's any spelling/grammar mistakes or something)

Stand Clear of the Closing Doors (and Closer to Me)

"Oi, Kuroo, hurry up! We're gonna miss the train because of you, let's go!"

"Sorry kitten, but when you look this good, it's no wonder people want my number," Kuroo said, chuckling as your exasperated sigh, although he missed the small, but still present jealous glare that slipped through your otherwise unbothered façade.

"UGH, Kuroo! Shouldn't your long legs make it easier for you or something? You're a volleyball player, right? So why don't you use that agility and move it!"

"Awww, have you been admiring me kitten? I'm flattered honestl-"

"Stand Clear of the Closing Doors"

"Oh n-" you started to say, before you felt Kuroo grab your waist, and almost throw you onto the subway that you both somehow managed to catch.

Kuroo's hold on your waist lingered slightly longer than needed before he clumsily pulled away, settling for standing behind you and only just realizing how overcrowded the subway was.

It seemed that you had also come to this conclusion, because you started inching away from the mass of people that immediately surrounded you. One man in particular started getting a little too close for comfort, and Kuroo could see the discomfort on your face.

Quickly, he shifted so that he was now facing you, stepping towards you and grabbing the bar above your head, to shield you from the other passengers. At least, that's what you both told yourselves... to shield you, he's not getting closer because of anything else... right?

You also noticed that you were subconsciously moving closer to him too.

He was so close to you that you were now craning your neck up to meet his fiery and inquisitive gaze. But just as you opened your mouth to say thanks, or maybe to show it, the doors opened, and the flood of passengers streamed out, taking you and Kuroo with them.

The walk home was really awkward.

Occasionally, Kuroo would lift his gaze from the ground to your face, quietly longing, admiring the way the sunset gave you subtle highlights, and the way your lips just looked so kissable.

You kept your stare trained on the ground, afraid of catching Kuroo looking at you, and starting an even more awkward encounter.

After what felt like an eternity, the two of you finally reached your house, where you finally lifted your eyes to meet Kuroo's.

He was staring at you intently, his gaze roving the expanse of your face as he stood there stiffly.

You took two steps forward, so you were now right in front him. Slowly, you raised yourself onto your toes, and brushed your lips with his, before hurriedly pulling back, searching his face for any reaction.

When Kuroo's face didn't betray his wild emotions, instead displaying the shock he initially felt, you immediately tried to backtrack, and apologize.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, Kuroo. I thought- I mean, I jus-"

You were cut off by someone's lips on yours. Kuroo's lips on yours. You melted into the gentle kiss, as the both of you took you time exploring this for the first time. Eventually, and much to your dismay, Kuroo pulled away a bit reluctantly.

"So kitten, I was right."

Confused, you tilted your head to the side and asked,

"Huh? Right about what?"

"You've been admiring me for a while now, haven't you? I'm flattered, honestly..."

on a second watch I think I'll revise my judgement on iontbo. it's a unique and powerful show, and it makes great points about disability and relationships, but it's got serious flaws. discussion of psychiatric abuse and misogyny under the cut

I like the female characters a lot but I think there's a fair amount of misogyny in the way they're written, especially in regards to ju-ri and kmy's little rivalry and how they're contrasted as the bitch and the nice girl. there's also the fanatic committment to having their female characters be as skinny, pale, conventionally attractive, and feminine as possible. hell, there are different-colored male and female patient robes, and pink and blue tech scrubs. women in relationships like kmy and a-reum are repeatedly implied to need protecting by their boyfriends...for kmy it's not such a cliche because of How She Is, and her needing protection actually is a reveal, but it still really bothered me. there's also more mean-spirited gay jokes than I remember

on a more serious note, the patients are treated in turns as jokes and infantalized, and the idyllic setting of the psychiatric hospital is straight up misleading. I don't want to get too much into it but the fact that sedation is used so frequently just when patients are upset is...disturbing. the medical and psychiatric fields have serious issues regarding bodily autonomy and idk what the laws are in the south korea but sedation is supposed to only be used when someone's in actual physical danger. the blatant misuse of chemical restraints, which is a pretty fucking big deal, is hard to watch

also...and this is just a nitpick but I hate when someone does something and a psychiatrist analyzes their states of mind by reading into it "she's overdressing because she feels vulnerable and needs you to protect her!" maybe she likes being fancy you old bitch

finally...I mentioned this before but kmy's sexual harassment is very much still an element of her character. she's slowly getting better but in the last ep I watched she got really agressive trying to get closer with a drunk mgt and it had...bad vibes. the writers are walking a delicate tightrope here and I get that I just wish they wouldn't make a fuckng joke out of it every time

I still think its storyline and characters are groundbreaking among all media I've consumed and it's still got many strong points, but it does perpetuate harmful perceptions about psych care and lowkey further misogynistic stereotypes

[komunyeong]

Hi hi It's the ju-ri anon again. Honestly, I perceive Ju-ri as feisty and unafraid. I rlly don't think anything she's done or said has been any more violent than anything ko moon yeong has done or said. And as for character growth, she's realized in recent episodes that she can't fill the Gang Tae's emptiness the way she had always envisioned, and she's taken a step back in regards to him after that. Giving him space and not forcing her help onto him. I rlly appreciate her growth in this regard

I mean, I agree to a point. She’s dropping the fake mask of being the sweet girl next door. But, and this is a BIG but, while she has realized that Gang-Tae doesn’t want her in that way, I don’t see that’s she’s taken a step back? Instead she got drunk and yelled at him? She still seems to be angry about it in a way that says she feels entitled to him.

And to compare her to Mun-Yeong, MY has only been shown to be violent in retaliation to violence, and has refused violence on multiple occasions, such as when the director offered her the chance to hit him. while JR in every situation was the aggressor, acting out of anger. She hits people with impunity and out of her own anger and frustration. I do not think it’s a fair comparison. Like, no? JR didn’t almost stab someone. But she hits people at the drop of a hat.

hello!! i'm loving your answers, i get to learn about lots of shows i haven't watched and i've already added some to my watch list (i'm still in the process of watching my love from another star, i've started a while ago but jun ju-yun is such an entertaining character!)

to add on to your selection, what have been your favourite characters in dramas so far?

i hope you have a great day!

your kdrama valentine 💜

Hi! Sorry for the late response but my mind went totally blank and I still don't have an answer for you.

I could tell you the type? I like characters who are kind despite the world not being kind to them in return. Like Kim Min Jae's character in Dali and the Cocky Prince. Or Gong Hyo-Jin's character in Master's Sun. Or since we both watched Happiness, the main couple who tried so hard to protect the people in their building despite only like 3 of them deserving it, lol.

I also really like characters who are ride or die for their friends, family, or significant other! Like the for example the family in Father is Strange, Lee Yoo-Ri's character will totally beat up her siblings but will also destroy you if you look at them funny.

Thank you for these questions! I'm having so much fun!

Chapter 3: Grammar and Power

"Hagrid, I'm wondering, can you tell me more about the Professors?" Harry said after getting himself comfortable around Hagrid, although he didn't have the ability to eat Hagrid's cooking, while Ron enjoyed himself with pampering 'Fang,' Hagrid's hound dog.

"Well ain' 'hat a good question. Known mos' of 'hem back when I was in school. Of course, 'he Dark Arts 'eacher keeps changin' for a while now and 'he potion masters are fairly new, been aroun' for ten years give or 'ake," Hagrid said pouring more tea.

"But isn't that strange?," Ron said with mild skepticism, "why have two potion masters? Why not one?"

"Well ain' 'hat a funny story. When Professor Snape became 'he potions master, people were worried if he could handle it; given his past an' all, but 'hen Dumbledore wen' off to France one day an' came back with Professor Black, draggin' him by 'he collar; it was quiet 'he show," Hagrid said laughing at the memory.

"Of course, 'he other professors seemed even more cautious to him 'eaching, given his family matters, Black himself 'ried runnin' away whenever he got the chance, yet Dumbledore always dragged him back in 'ime for dinner. I'm not sure wha' convinced Black to stay 'hough, you'll have to ask him or Dumbledore, maybe even Snape if your lucky. 'hen pretty soon things jus' started to work out well and it's been like 'hat ever since." Hagrid said and looked at the clock.

"Blimey, it's getting late, I wouldn't wan' you two gettin' into 'rouble on your second day, now off with you, careful not to get Flinch to fin' you." Hagrid said as he ushered them out.

As much as Hagrid explained, it still left Harry in questions.

What was Professor Snape's past? Why was Dumbledore at France? Why was Professor Black so reluctant in teaching? How did Dumbledore convince Professor Black to stay?

But Harry supposed that could be a answered for another time.

———

Classes went by for the next two weeks as perfect as Harry could imagine.

Well; they went just about exactly as how Harry have imagined it.

In Transfigurations, they wrote down difficult anagrams and translations to which made knickknacks change into other knickknacks.

In Charms, they learned to use basic charms as well as learn when they were invented and why.

In History of Magic, they slept through an explanation of Greek and Roman wizards which brought muggles to reason that there were gods.

In Herbology, they learned about soil properties and there reaction to certain plants.

In Flying Class, they learned what makes a broom fly and the parts of a broom as well.

In Astronomy, they learn how to track star movements and tracing the lunar cycle.

In Defense Against the Dark Arts, they learned that Professor Quirrell was scared of just about everything.

And then there was Potions...

Don't get Harry wrong, it wasn't a strange class compared to his other courses, but it was strange in its teaching style.

The first thing he does in class is place a potion in front and have the students write down what potion it is using only three clues hidden around the room.

As far as Harry was concern, only Hermione seem to like it. Then Professor Black would go off in demonstrating making a potion while the class followed along which was the normal part of class; then does something completely unexpected.

It could be anything.

One time the professor just decided that, to check if are potions worked properly, dropped eggs into the steaming cauldron which out popped a fully grown chicken, or geese and turkey if you messed up which was found out by Neville, that only lead to the school being overrun with foul of all kind. This lead to Professor McGonagall having plenty of practice trials for her class in making chickens to pillows and Professor Sprout feeding her carnivorous plants fresh meat. Not to mention, to no ones surprise, there were a lot of chicken based meals serve the next day.

Another time the Professor handle the students clay dolls to use as containers for the potion which only proceeded to make it come to life and keep trying to untie shoelaces. On course, Professor Flitwick took most dolls and used them to teach the fourth year how to use the cutting charm on moving objects while Professor Kettleburn who teaches Care of Magical Creatures took just enough to keep the bowtruckles at bay from attacking students.

It turned out that whatever potion was made was then explained after the potion was created to make sure everyone was fair game in brewing so not one knew what to expect as the final result. Then the school takes use of it and make it a never ending cycle of 'learning productivity.' At least that's what the other teachers call it.

The good that Professor Blacks tactics brought was an easing environment for the students to learn, so not anything any student, especially the Slytherin, could hate about. It came to the point that no one could ever truly hate his classes.

Of course, that is if Harry could manage to get his potions right the first time around.

"Not bad, not bad, but you can do better, I'll make a potioneer out of you yet; Miss Ganger if you could do so the pleasure in helping Mister Potter with his potion I would be oh so great full," Professor Black said as he hurried over to Seamus's cauldron which seem to be bubbling uncontrollably and quite ready to explode.

But this left Harry vulnerable.

Just as class was about to end, Draco smirked and wrote on a piece of parchment to which he soon crumbled up and threw it at Harry.

But before any piece of crumped up parchment could when get anywhere near Harry, Professor Black appeared, or in this case apparated right on time to catch it.

"Mister Malfoy, bulling will not be permitted in any house and even more so in class," Professor Black said in a calming elegant tone as he opened the crumped paper, walking to an empty chalkboard. "As wizards and witches, by stooping to such means we become nothing more then primitive creatures. If one decide to prove themselves as superior; we show this though are abilities and are skills."

Harry saw Draco's face redden with embarrassment and anger. "This does bring into account that grammar is important when writing a message, there are proper words per proper means. For example Y-O-U-R is used when describing something that belongs to you while Y-O-U-'-R-E is used is phrasing "you are." Professor Black explained as he wrote it down on the board.

"With this being said I will expect an essay 10 inches long on the potion that cures boils which can be found in your books on page 43," Professor Black said as the student started to put their items away to go to their next class.

"AND MISTER MALFOY," Professor Black said louder then needed, "If I catch you bulling or using improper grammar, after school classes will be put into order which I'll make sure, your father will find out about. Class dismiss."

——-

By the time school ended, the Gryffindors in the common room were spreading their daily gossip on the Notorious Professor Black.

"Is apparation truly that difficult?" Harry said, not really sure why everyone was making a fuss about apparation.

"It is, witches and wizards that fail in it can end up appearing to one place missing a leg or hand. Not to mention that you need a license to by allowed to use apparation," Ron explained, "But to think, he would apparate just for show?"

"He didn't just do it for show, didn't you hear any word of his lecture? He was making a statement against bulling and the truth behind power. Yet I will admit, he was able to do advanced magic without a wand and quite effortlessly if I might add, being the fact the if you read Hogwarts: A History, the schools barriers make it difficult to preform such magic, and near impossible to apparate outside or inside Hogwarts. He must be extremely powerful to be able to apparate on school grounds so freely," Hermione inputted from her little corner of books as the other first years sat in the common room next to the fireplace as they continued on in discussion.

But of course, the Weasley twins took it upon themselves to bring trouble to the conversation.

"Don't be to surprised."

"Apparatation isn't the only thing his good at."

"Every year during winter break"

"Dumbledore and Black have a duel just outside of Hogwarts grounds."

"You can see it from the great hall if you like."

"Last year, they got a little overboard and knocked down the astronomy tower!"

"No one got hurt though."

"Then they went off for ice cream."

"After an hour, they came back."

"McGonagall, sent them to the corner and made them clean up their mess."

Fred and George started laughing just thinking of what would happen this year but this did not help the first years imagination and worry of their teacher accidentally crushing them with a tower.

Percy took a moment to think of what to say to calm the situation down and took in a breath, "All the Professors at Hogwarts exceeds in their teaching fields but then we have Headmaster Dumbledore and Professor Black who've excelled in multiple fields. But unlike Headmaster Dumbledore, Professor Black does everything in his power to excel all forms of magical knowledge which is why his called in to teach a class when a professor is not able to make it."

"So his a bloody genius," Ron said as he slinked down into his chair.

"No Ron, his studious which is something you should be doing as well, if you end up failing a single class, mother might just turn you into a cow," Percy warned.

"Then we can name you Ro-Moo," the twins said simultaneously which got Percy to chase them around which only proceeded to give the twins a good laugh.

Extra

•Regulus is a grammer god and no one can prove me wrong.

•Bold of you to assume that Regulus wouldn't train hard in magic knowing Voldemort is still alive.

•Every winter break, Regulus duels Dumbledore to see if he could hold his ground against him.

•The last duel held for 40 minutes, with Dumbledore toying with Regulus for the last 20 minutes to see how long the boy would last.

•They destroyed the astronomy tower and then went out for ice cream and McGonagall grounded both of them.

Rant #1

Is it just me or there are some days when you're just so sad. Like you could be having an amazing day and it just takes like 1hour for the rest of your day to go down hill. For me, I'm usually just a really happy person, I have all the necessities yet i feel so sad. I feel lonely and I can feel that anxiety attack just taking over me when I just sit there trying to figure out where it all went wrong. Im scared of asking for help even when there's nothing to be scared about. My school starts in about a week. I've never been the type to hate school really, I'd jus go w/o complaining. Now it feels like everythings changed yet in reality nothing has. I still have the same group of friends. Most of the same teachers. Yet it feels so strange. These people, who I cared so deeply for and they did for me, suddenly give me anxiety at the thought of them. Like if I make one wrong move, I'd be alone again. But does it really count being alone physically when I know they've already left me mentally (if that makes sense). As if the place I held in their hearts is now gone, or maybe they never really cared in the first place. And I know what you must think, if I feel this way I should just find leave them but, for some reason I can't do it. I feel so lost and alone. Like if I were to disappear right now, it wouldn't matter. I useto pray for all this to end, for me to be happy but now, all I hope is for my life to end. I know how depressing all this sounds but I have no one to talk to and I just needed to get all this off my chest. I tried talking to my parents dropping hints here and there but they either don't seem to catch on or they don't care at this point and think it's some phase. I hope the rest of you have a great day, if u need anyone to talk to, please don't hesitate to do so. Even if they're just a stranger. Keep smiling :)

Ri.
