COMING SUNDAY, FEB. 16

“Well,” Vernon (from IT) eventually says. “No harm done once you tell everyone we’re not dating.”

“Once I what?” 

“Well you’ll have to-”

“No way.”

“What?” 

“Do you know how embarrassing that would be?” 

He raises a brow. “More embarrassing than grabbing some dude in the bookstore and claiming he’s your boyfriend.” 

The air leaves your lungs and you melt into the seat, your misery showing. “I already said sorry.” 

“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. Just tell everyone you broke up with me.” You snort. 

“No one would believe that.” 

“Why?” 

Instead of answering him immediately, you busy yourself unraveling silverware. It’s a hard question to answer, not because you don’t know the answer but because you don’t want to tell him. Vernon (from IT) is quiet, though. Patient. 

He doesn’t press you for an answer, happy to wait you out until you’ve folded your napkin and placed it on your lap, and once again drained the rest of your water. It does nothing for your nerves as you fixate on a spot atop the table. 

“I don’t… date.” 

“You dated Minho.”

“Yeah. That’s uh… it. It’s kind of a running joke that I am undateable.”

He frowns at that. “Respectfully, I find that incredibly hard to believe.” 

“Thanks. I think.” You pick at a string in the tablecloth. “Anyway, no one would buy that I ended the first relationship I’ve had since Minho. I didn’t even end the last one and sort of clung to it in a way that was sort of embarrassing.” 

“I see.”

You’re unsure if he really does. When Minho had broken up with you, you’d attempt to make arguments to keep him around. Offered less work hours, even said you’d go to therapy to talk about your insane need for success. He hadn’t wanted any of it, and you’d eventually realized that he just… didn’t want you. 

They never did, when people realized what dating you entails. Everyone wants a woman who works hard. They like the illusion of it, the woman who gets up early in the morning and goes to workout before going to her corporate job and girl bossing all day long. They desire the woman who dresses fashionably, who wears designer tags and commands a room all day before coming home to make an effortless dinner followed by a luxurious night routine. 

And you get it. You want to be that too. But the truth is most days you wake up past your alarm and rush to the office wearing shoes that don’t match, and sometimes you come home so late and burned out from your job that you eat a handful of shredded cheese over the sink with a stick of beef jerky, only to do it all again the next day.

That wasn’t what anyone wanted. At least, not in your experience. 

“Anyway,” you clear your throat. “You’re right, or whatever. I should just tell them I lied. I’ve given worse news. Just you know - less personal.” 

For a few minutes, Vernon (from IT) is quiet. You don’t look up to meet his gaze. Instead you watch the ice cubes in your glass melt, little beads of condensation zigzagging down the curve of your glass. 

A sigh makes you look up at Vernon (from IT). “What if we dated for like a month or something?” 

“What?”

“I don’t mean really date,” he offers quickly, sensing your surprise. For some reason, that stings a little. You swallow it down past the knot forming in your throat. “It’ll get people off your back or whatever and we can just mutually end things.” 

“Really? You’d do that.” 

He shrugs a shoulder. “I guess, yeah.”

“You can break up with me,” you promise eagerly, leaning forward with the new promise of a solution to your problem. “Everyone will believe it. Just say I work too much and I’m too obsessed with my career.” 

An uneasy gaze flickers in Vernon (from IT)’s eyes. “It can be mutual,” he says firmly. “That way it ends nicely.”

“Fine. Everyone will think one thing anyway, you’ll get out without a scratch, trust me. Are you sure you’re willing to do this? I can… suck it up and tell everyone I made it up.”

“Do you really want to?” 

“No,” you admit.

“Then it’s settled.” He shrugs, heaving a heavy sigh. “I’ll give you a month and then we can mutually end things.” 

Sticking your hand over the table, you offer it for Vernon (from IT) to shake. His mouth twitches a little as he smiles, leaning forward to take your hand. His is warm and softer than you imagined, enveloping yours firmly as he shakes. 

“Deal,” you smile, feeling a glimmer of hope. 

Just like that, Vernon (from IT) becomes Vernon (your boyfriend). 

Sort of.

Considering I joined the RS fandom..HELLA late, I was wondering what the basic lore of your Pam is like in terms of personality, motivations, hobbies, etc. I've only been able to see some of your art recently (and a few things you posted when I was lurking years ago), so I'd like to educate myself more on the Pamage. Also if you feel like it, I'm curious to know the gist with Pamson (and maybe their kids too if you want!) If you decide to answer this ask (though I understand not wanting to considering low motivation), you can be brief or detailed with it.

(BTW I find it fun that we've both decided to interpret Pam, but differ in execution. You seem to have kept it WAY more canon and generally accurate to the later season continuity compared to me lol. Which is cool to see, it's like a look into what Pam could've been if RS..tried to make her a character 😞 (and also wasn't afraid to make her silly silly!))

Ahh yea! It's just so awesome to have someone else here making content involving Pam! I don't feel so lonely anymore 😭✨ Yeaa, I tried to have everything blend in with RS canon as much as possible loll

And yess, we love her being a silly silly dork girl! 💕

And I'm always up for talking about my Pam lore, the kiddos, her and Benson etc ! So buckle up, this gon' be a loooong ride xD (A lot of this is mainly just jotting things down, probs will get more into details of some things later :>)

Sooo Pam! General personality:

*Usually very chill and patient

*Intelligent and quick-thinking

*Extremely optimistic and always trying to find a good solution to a problem. Even if something bad is happening, she'll be realistic, but gentle

*Kind, compassionate

*A decently capable fighter

*Has a great sense of humor

*Tends to be a bit emotional lol

*Very affectionate (both verbally and physically, but mostly physically), just very loving and devoted to her fam

*An extremely hard worker and is the type of person who when she starts something, she CANNOT stop or be distracted until it's finished. With how dedicated she is to her work, she sometimes drives herself to exhaustion with her tasks

*Doesn't like to keep people waiting, and tries to get wherever she needs to be as fast as possible

*I like to think that she was always the microwave dinner-type or would just order off of DoorDash, as actually cooking something was too much of a hassle, but she grew out of that after Benson and the kiddos entered her life, as she now actually enjoys cooking marvelous and healthy meals for both them and herself 😌

Mom personality (pretty much her general personality but with a dash of mom sprinkled in):

*At first when baby Justin and Sammie arrived, she found herself feeling the pressure and anxiety of being a first time mom, worried about things like if they're crawling at the right time and such, and wondering if she's doing anything right, and if she's a bad mom. She'd then go to Starla and Eileen for advice, since they've already been moms by this point, with them reassuring her that she's doing great <:')

*Tho pretty much she's like. the dorkiest, most fun and loving mom you'll ever find. Engaging in playtime with them and seeing them happy is what brings her the most joy.

*I imagine she's super embarrassing too, doin things like giving them kisses/calling them cute nicknames in front of their friends, or blabbing out mom joke after mom joke.

*She also holds boundaries firmly and lovingly, but once in a while will lose her cool when the occasion calls for it x)

*A bit protective too. like anyone that fucks with them will face her wrath (and Benson too of course, like he will pretty much go Super Saiyan on a mf who dares try and hurt his babies.. which I intend to show in a comic idea that's been brewing in my mind for a while), as all she wants is to keep her beloved fam safe, knowing the insane events that happen in RS all the time.

*She's always extremely proud of the kiddos, no matter what amazing things they accomplish, big or small.

*She's gotten better at maintaining balance too (something she often struggled with), navigating her (exhausting) role as mom while also working her scientist job, able to make time for self-care and hobbies.

Speaking of her hobbies, let's see...those would be:

*Collecting records of 80's/90's singers/bands she really likes

*I get the feeling she'd like gardening (possibly somethin that the kiddos join in on helping her do too 😊)

*Possibly writes songs/sings a bit (as I've heard Ali Hillis sing before and she got a gorgeous singing voice soo yea <:))

*Would be cool if she wanted to learn to play an instrument. Maybe the saxophone 🤔

*Bowling

*Engaging in martial arts

*Hanging out with the girlies (Starla, Eileen, Celia etc), as well as her colleagues (the same ones that are seen in the dome episodes)

*Adores traveling and adventuring with Benson and the kiddies :> (Just loves traveling in general...takes night drives down the highway to just chill, clear her mind or whatevs, doesn't care where she's going, just cranks up the music and enjoys the ride✨)

Now about Pamson! Where do I begin lmao.. Yea they're deep in love. Like anytime they're together somewhere they're either holding hands, arms around one another or whatevs, especially after the park gang returned to earth. I imagine them not wanting to be not wanting to be away from each other at all for some time after the space thing.. always holding hands, kisses, cuddles, standing right next to each other in group situations, hands resting on shoulders/waists, just because they don't want to be separated like that ever again.

(I've always figured that I guess they could count as "enemies to lovers" ?? Since in the beginning, she was part of the antagonists, and her and Benson's sides were trying to take each other down x))

When the park crew was being welcomed home by family and friends, after Benson hugged Applesauce, he saw a familiar, beautiful face emerging from the crowd, tears in her eyes, hands over her mouth in shock. Could this really be her man? Here on earth with her after all this time? In this AU of mine, they never broke up during Benson's time in space 😤 they made things work and called each other as often as they could. After hearing that the space tree got attacked by Anti-Pops and crew, and that the whereabouts of Benson and the park crew were unknown after that, she couldn't help but fear that something horrible had happened to him, nights of lost sleep over the dreaded thought that she likely would never see him again. And now, here he was, standing right in front of her, safe and sound. Here's a dumb lil comic from 2 years back that showcases this reunion lol

Soo yea, they pretty much pick up where they left off from before the dome blasted off. When it comes to like. date ideas, Pam's not very good at coming up with ideas, so Benson usually picks most of what they do, or sometimes they'll experiment with trying new things (which I could see escalating into some classic wacky RS shenanigans, where like. they have to). With both of them being workaholics, this post feels very much like things they'd say/do to each other 💖 https://www.tumblr.com/scealaiscoite/762806875681144832/taking-care-of-a-tired-lover-%F0%9D%9C%97%F0%9D%9C%9A?source=share

Got married close to 3 years later. I imagine Benson prob cried most of the time during it lol, bc of this being like. the happiest day of his life. Something he longed for, for the longest time but didn't think would ever happen to a guy like him... and it finally did. He found someone that loved him for who he was, and vibed and complimented just what he had going on, as she, too, was workaholic, so of course, she was down for the heavy work-life balance he had going on. Someone who understood his frustrations and knew what it was like working with a team. Someone who just brought him happiness, eased his mind, made his day better every time he saw her face. For Pam, her life, as she said, was just ''work, work, work'', and her being so busy that close relationships were barely a thing in her life, until meeting Benson, someone who could relate to that. Him being that someone who helped her to just chill and have fun, and better her work-life balance, just as much as she helped him. That's what's so nice about their first date, them both just taking a step back from their constant working to just let loose and have some fun together. They pretty much improved each other's lives in a way ig is how I see it.

When she was preg with Justin and Sammie closely afterward, she at first felt insecure and unsure if she's even cut out to be a mom, of not just one baby, but two. He comforts her, saying she's the sweetest, caring person he knows, and that she's got this <:') He couldn't help but rattle about this exiting news to his fellow park employees. They all happily congratulated him ofc✨ When she tries to get up and do some work, like laundry or somthin, he insists/demands that she relaxes and takes it easy, (like how he was with Skips in Skip's Stress) where he'd be like "NO, honey, you just lay back and relax, let me take care of that :V 😌'' Pam went through the dreaded morning sickness. Benson always helped her out of course uu.. He talked to/smooched her belly like, all the darn time, even when she was asleep.. such a soft/cheesy dork. Benson already loved Pam with all his heart and soul, but after finding out she was preg, his love for her intensified by 100, Like damn, he fell in love with her all over again ;w; People always thought Benson didn't like children, or want to ever become a father, but actually, he fell in love with the idea, especially being a father of his and Pam's children 💖 Benson loved pampering his beloved queen (teehee pampering), like massaging her back/ legs/shoulders, fetching foods she craved, bringing her robe and slippers. Benson was a sobbing mess when he got to hold little bby Justin and Sam for the first time. Pam found shopping for baby supplies to be enjoyable, plus she loved seeing Benson's cute and goofy reactions to all the adorable baby outfits n stuff x')

Now on to the kiddos: Justin, Sammie, and Ben-Ben:

So, Justin and Sam, twinsies of course, though Justin's the older one by a few minutes. They, along with little bro Ben-Ben, share a close and supportive sibling relationship, characterized by both affection and playful teasing, as well as sharing inside jokes and enjoying making each other laugh. Of course they have their disagreements, they ultimately have each other's backs and love each other unconditionally, supporting each other when in the face of danger. They all often refer to each other as "bro" and "sis'', and Justin and Sammie refer to him as ''Ben-Ben". They enjoy spending hours listening to Benson tell stories of his past adventures with the park crew, and how he was a famous drummer, how he helped save the universe. So they think of him as the coolest on the planet, their excitement gets the best of them and they blurt out when they're in public "Our dad helped save the universe!!" to which he thinks "Ahah, yep, I.. certainly was there.. 😬"

So! How these two came to be:

Soo, Benson and Pam, newly married, are having this lingering feeling of emptiness inside, like something's missing in their little world, this now new life of theirs... the main factor of this is Benson still dealing with the loss of Pops. So like, that night, they're just talking about the things that once were, and he pulls out a special item that Pops gave him: a butterscotch ripple. He explains of how Pops paid him this butterscotch ripple on his first day as park manager as his first salary, and how disappointed and confused he was by this, but now makes him laugh remembering it, and is ever so glad he kept it, wiping a tear from his eye. So they just snuggle a bit, trying to comfort each other. So, since this butterscotch ripple still has some of Pop's residual energy, this ig drew his spirit to where it's at, which is of course with Benson and Pam. Pops then senses that they're feeling this way (as well as sensing that Benson still misses him dearly), he decides to gift them these two little babs (as I feel like he would believe that adorable and innocent creatures like these is what they could be needing, and having two to bring both of them happiness is even better than just only one), tho I feel like not only to bring his dearest friend and his wife the special thing that they desire, but also as a way to be more connected to him through a living being (''beings'' in this case BD) on earth. And because Pops was the embodiment of pure good, that would now make them twin forces of pure good as well, being connected to him (Which two forces of good is of course better and possibly more effective than just one), and bc there needs to be evil to balance out the good (like right when they're born, pure good forces were put back into the universe), twin embodiments of evil were born as well, that of course want to destroy good/og Justin and Sammie. And at the end after these evil twins lose (to a way that I still haven't figured out yet) they say they'll be back to destroy them in a certain number of years from then (maybe by the time of the 25 years later park reunion ? 🤔) . Along with this, he's spiritually connected to them, and acts as their guardian angel. As well as this, they're connected to each other as well through some psychic twin link...

What's up with their psychic twin link:

I kinda like to think these are hidden powers that didn't 100% surface until they reached their teen years, but maybe similar to what happened to Pops, these powers made themselves known little by little wayy before their teen years, like in their toddler+kid years, they'd have these moments where they would sense danger, or see a faint vision in their mind of what either of them are doing at a random moment. As they reached their teen+young adult years, these visions became clearer and more specific, often showing an event (good and bad) before it was going to happen, involving not just either of them, but their mom, dad, and brother as well. There'd be some nights when either of them is having a dream, they'd be having the same dream. And in the mornings following those nights, when they're getting ready for school or somethin, they'd end up dressing the same without even knowing it. leading to some dialogue like:

J & S: *Discovering that they dressed the same* "Stop thinking like me!! >:V >:V"

P: ''Awww, I think it's cute when my little twinsies dress alike! ^w^~💕''

J & S: ''Maa! >:U >:[''

(now the events of their birth where the park crew is more involved, I'll post at another time x'))

They inherited their mom's intelligence, and this trait made itself known when they were around 7 years old. Due to mom being a scientist, they also possess a huge amount of scientific-related knowledge from a young age as well (this being due to them often accompanying her when she goes to work in her lab) They also inherited dad's rageful nature, even though rage bursts from them are quite rare, due to the more chill and tranquil nature they gained from their mom, so it takes a lil more to piss them off (Compared to Bendad's short fuse) they're far more powerful and dangerous, when they are pushed to the edge, turning into something possibly worse than Benson's Super Saiyan-like state in Think Positive (due to the high compatibility of human and gumball machine DNA when combined (says who? >:V myself ofc 😎), as well as their origin from being gifted by/connected to Pops, making them more capable of possessing above normal human abilities, like their psychic twin link)

Now for the more general individual info~

Sammie:

*Kind, independent, sophisticated young lady

*Outgoing, fun

*Silly silly

*Caring

*Most of the time the more responsible one of the two, and serves as the voice of reason

*Was the more well-behaved child (but at times whenever she gets bored, she too gets involved in Justin's antics)

*Usually very calm and chill who always tries to keep her composure and see the positive in any situation (including situations where Benson surely would have raged at x)), tho at a rare time where she enters a state of rage, it'd be a limiting situation that she'd try to handle the best she could, however wouldn't succeed and makes her panic, making her feel this way.

*A bit emotional (like her momma) x')

*Afraid to suck at any task she does and strives to be perfect in any way possible

*Loves horses, elephants (big animal lover in general, but these two are her favorites), flowers, old school RnB, walks through nature

*When she's older, works at animal shelter, and later as the new park manager when Benson and Pam retire in their later years

Justin:

*Usually a pretty chill, laid-back dude, but is not hesitant to go apeshit if someone like. really pisses him off, or if someone hurts a loved one

*Highly protective of his siblings (like any big bro would of course), especially if he feels like some devious dude is getting a little too close to his sis

*Very competitive

*Was quite the troublemaker as a child, and mischievous. Though still gets himself into trouble in his older years, this being caused from him not being the best at making good decisions

*Used to be a bit lazy, but has grown to be more hard-working

*Compassionate

*Sarcastic

*Overly confident

*Has a pet cockatoo

*Skilled dancer, takes choreography classes

*Loves pulling pranks on just about anyone. Gets pranking tips/lessons from uncle Muscle Man

*Really into horror movies

*Enjoys riding motorbikes and similar things, even pulling daredevil stunts

*Even though both him and Sammie enjoy spending time with and assisting mom in her lab at work, and possess her intelligence, he's taken more of an interest in the scientific field than Sammie. He mostly enjoys working with robotics n such in particular (Similar to Pam as well, as she's seen repairing a robotic hand in Pam I Am x)). Becomes a mechanical engineer when he's older

Ben-Ben:

*I uhh.. still have yet to come up with an interesting origin for him aghhfff

*When he was born, (Justin and Sam being about 8 years old at this time) Justin thought it was awesome to have a little brother and became attached to him. Sammie, however, wasn't super thrilled, have another brother, and wanted nothing to do with him.

(While including the fact that she now owes Justin 10 bucks after they made a bet on what the gender would be, like:

S: "If it's a girl, you owe me 5 bucks! >:D''

J: "Oh yeah? Well if it's a boy, you owe me 10 bucks! >:D"

S: "Aww what!? 10 whole bucks!? 😭"

*The two of them and dad visit mom in the hospital room and see the new baby, discovering that it is in fact a boy*

J: ''Ooooooohh, yeaa boii! 🤩 Well, better pay up, sis 😎"

Even going as far as trying to stick him in a box and into the mailbox to attempt to mail him to possibly another country. Benson and Pam discover this and note that this is very out of the ordinary behavior from her usual kind and well-behaved self. Though, she eventually has a change of heart after discovering he's in danger (when said box is mistaken for trash and is hauled away in the garbage truck). Furious and terrified Benson and Pam, along with Justin and herself chase down the garbage truck in Benson's car all the way to the landfill. With her being the one that saves his life. (from maybe a shredder or somethin x')) On her knees crying, while holding him tightly to her chest, and him clinging to her as well. Regretting having acted like such a terrible big sister to him, promising to love and protect him from that day onward. Benson, Pam, and Justin catch up to where the two are, relieved to see that they're both safe and mostly unscathed, besides a few cuts and scratches, and all engage in a group hug ;; (And of course ending up with Sammie being grounded for a few weeks lol.. or maybe even a month x'D)

*I imagine that after these events, he would get easily upset/scared if of someone in the fam isn't around, especially Sammie.

*An energetic little guy

*Thrives best when playing around other kids

*Outgoing

*Fun-loving, kind hearted

*Loves being outside, as well as bug-catching, and getting dirty

*Fond of all kinds of reptiles, though mostly lizards. Wants to work at a reptile sanctuary when older.

*Gained a fascination for drumming thanks to dad introducing it to him. Dreams of following in dad's footsteps and becoming a talented and famous drummer himself one day (And possibly get Hair To The Throne to accept him as their new drummer)

-Deep inhale- HOOooo, my brain is on fire after writing all this -faints- Anywayy hope all this makes some bit of sense eheh, as I stayed awake till 4 a.m writing the rest of this out, so my brain prob turned off at some point loll

NCT MOST MEMORABLE SEX – Story #14: HAECHAN

Story: Haechan gives Mark and Jungwoo hand jobs in the shower.

Story #14: HAECHAN

Showering together was not a regular occurrence among the NCT members, but over the years it did happen quite frequently. At gyms, in various dressing rooms, and during activities in their free time, to name a few examples. Anywhere with shared showers, really, and most members had seen the majority of their friends naked at some point.

It was not normal, however, that the members would get hard together, and certainly not that they'd touch each other in the nude. That’s why Haechan’s most memorable sexual experience stood out to him, and became a secret that frequently aroused him.

Back in their very first dorm, nudity in front of others had sometimes been a necessity. The cheap dorm had only one bathroom, with a dual shower in it, and not enough time in the day for everyone to have their turn alone.

Not only would the members shower side by side, but some would happily parade naked through the dorm. As young teenagers, this was odd and embarrassing to Haechan and several of the others, yet also something they joked, laughed and giggled about. Haechan saw more dicks in this time than most men who don't frequent locker rooms do in a lifetime.

Ten in particular stood out in the group. He would always jump at the opportunity to share the shower with someone. Johnny too, who had never been ashamed of showing himself in the nude. At one point, it was a running joke that the two would only shower together.

Still, privacy had always been respected, and being young teens many of the members were uncomfortable with nudity in general. Thus, a system had quickly formed in which everyone patiently awaited their turn, when time allowed it.

That first dorm was a long time ago though. They had all come a long way since then. Nowadays, they all had their own private bathrooms. They had also matured, and grown incredibly close, to the point that nudity and sex was not a matter they giggled or felt nervous about. They were not teenagers anymore.

That said, because so much time had passed since the last time he had to share a shower with someone, on the day of this story Haechan was taken by surprise.

“What the hell?” he exclaimed, when the members of NCT 127 explored the makeup area, changing rooms, and finally the associated shower of the particular venue in which they were about to perform.

“What?” Johnny said. “It's not like you haven't seen this bad boy before.” He clutched his crotch and everyone in the group laughed. Maybe some where more mature than others, after all.

“Not voluntarily,” Haechan joked back.

The shower room which they all stood in had nine heads, an open floor plan and no privacy whatsoever. It was an efficient solution in terms of saving space, but it was rare that a venue would expect them to get naked together.

The show was a sweaty affair. It lasted for several hours, and when the boys came off stage for the last time of the evening, their drenched bodies were pumping with adrenaline. Exhausted from the physical efforts of their performance, and hot from the strong lights and arena full of fans, they returned to the dressing room and began to spread out.

Haechan went to have his makeup removed, but some went straight to the showers to wash up and get changed. Taeil and Jaehyun excused themselves early, and headed back to the hotel to clean up there. An underground tunnel connected the arena to where they'd be spending the night.

When Haechan was ready, he peeked inside the showers. Johnny, Doyoung and Yuta were inside, naked and soaped up. They were facing the far-end wall with their backs to the door, deeply engaged in a conversation about the show.

When Doyoung turned around, Haechan couldn’t help but glance at his long, slack dick. When Doyoung caught him staring, Haechan smiled but quickly decided not to interrupt his friends. He nodded, turned around and left.

He sat down on a couch outside to await his turn, and Jungwoo and Mark came to join him. They began to chat, about highlights from the show, the choreographs, and details they could improve on.

Eventually, Johnny came out of the showers and left, shortly followed by Yuta and Doyoung. They said goodnight, but the threesome on the couch didn't get up. They were too engaged in their conversation, and before they knew it they'd been sitting there for over an hour.

“How's your girlfriend?“ Mark asked.

“Alone and longing for me,” Jungwoo winked. “This tour is almost over though. I can't wait to see her.”

“Must be frustrating to go so long without sex,” Haechan said. Not that he’d had any himself recently. Perhaps that was why he wanted to talk about it.

“The worst!” Jungwoo laughed. “I've jerked off so many times these past weeks my dick is sore.”

Haechan was not a virgin, but sex was not something he had frequently, and unlike some of the other members, certainly not on tour. Jungwoo had been in a steady relationship for a while, and often arrived late to practice because of it. They regularly joked about how the couple couldn't keep their hands off each other.

Mark, who was single, was also feeling naughty. “It's the first thing I'll do when we get back to the hotel,” he announced.

“Me too,” Jungwoo nodded. “Performing makes me horny as fuck.”

“Me too,” Haechan agreed. ”I don't think we've had a single show where I haven't jerked off immediately after. I once did it in a bathroom, because we were going straight to a dinner.”

Despite his infrequent experience with the opposite sex, Haechan was known to be dirty. He was often quick to joke about sex, talk about sex, or make naughty comments toward the other members. In that sense, he was still the least mature among them. The members all loved him for it.

“Have you ever jerked off with another member?” Jungwoo suddenly asked. Perhaps it was the distance from his girlfriend and the sexual frustration it resulted in that made him ask such a question, but surprisingly, Mark instantly confirmed that he had.

“When?“ Haechan gasped. “Who?“

“With Ten,” Mark said. “We once shared a hotel room. He was horny, as were I. We were in separate beds though.”

“You remember our first dorm, the one with the double shower?“ Jungwoo asked. “I know for a fact that Ten jerked Johnny off in it.”

“No way!” Mark exclaimed.

“It's true. Johnny told me himself.”

Their conversation was interrupted when a member of staff came by. “Are you going to the showers?“ she asked.

The boys confirmed.

“You're the last ones left and I'm about to leave, but take your time. Let security know when you're done and they’ll escort you to the hotel.”

They all bowed in respect and confirmation, and Jungwoo was first to get up. Mark followed, and Haechan had no choice but to join them.

The initial shock about showering together had settled though. It was no big deal, after all, and Johnny was right. They were no strangers to seeing each other naked. The image of Doyoung’s dick returned in his mind.

In the shower room there was a wooden bench to the immediate left of the door. They placed their change of clothes on it, and began to undress. Haechan took off his shoes and socks. Jungwoo started with his shirt and worked his way down. Mark was next to the door, soon standing in his underwear and t-shirt.

“Do you ever jerk off in the shower?” Jungwoo asked.

“Depends,” Mark said. “I keep a box of tissues by my bed, but if I'm not alone in the room I have done it in the shower.”

“I usually lock myself in the bathroom,” Haechan pitched in. Then he laughed. “You all think I'm pooping.”

“That explains your bathroom habits,” Jungwoo joked.

“In bed, I usually come in my underwear though.”

“Ew,” Mark said and frowned.

“What, it's convenient,” Haechan said. “I throw them in the laundry immediately after!”

“Even when you jerk off in public bathrooms?“ Jungwoo asked and gave his friend the side eye.

“Well, alright, sometimes I keep them on. That time though, I came in the toilet.”

Jungwoo pulled down his underwear. Completely naked, he looked at his friends.

“Imagine how much cum went down the drain in that first dorm,” he said.

“Yeah, we used to joke about it,” Haechan said. “Twenty-one boys in a single room. No one could jerk off in bed back then. That shower washed down so much sperm.”

Naked and ready to wash the now dry sweat off his body, Jungwoo was first to walk to the shower heads. He picked the one in the middle, at the far-end wall, and turned on the water. His naked body was slim, and his ass was flat. Among the members, he was definitely the skinniest.

Haechan was next. Still a little shy, he turned his back on Mark before he took off his underwear and revealed his bare cheeks. He walked over to the closest head, by the wall on the left. He faced the wall, still somewhat unwilling to fully reveal his private part in front of the others.

Mark wasn't embarrassed at all. His dick swung as he walked toward the wall on the right. Haechan couldn't help but turn his head to take a peek at it. Mark caught him looking, but didn't say anything.

They soaped up their bodies in silence, with lotion and shampoo from bottles fixed to the walls. Eventually, Haechan turned around completely. Curiosity got the better of him.

Mark's body was slim and firm, but like Haechan he lacked abs. They were not part of the muscular clique, which included members like Jeno and Johnny. Mark was famous for his round ass though, which stood out even now when he wasn't wearing pants. His dick was average, but he had an unusually large ball sack hanging underneath it.

Jungwoo's dick was long and slim. He was also the only one in the room who was cut. His body looked toned because of how skinny he was, but his abs were faint and his chest unnaturally flat, which revealed that he didn't work out the way some of the others did.

“Hey, I see you looking,” Mark said suddenly.

“What, I'm curious,” Haechan grinned. He wasn't embarrassed about being caught.

“Does it turn you on?” Jungwoo joked.

“No. I'm not Ten. If anyone would be turned on in here it would be him. Maybe Johnny too, but in his case more so because seeing himself turns him on.”

All three of them laughed. Still, the thought of being turned on was exciting. Haechan suddenly felt a tingle between his legs.

Without thinking, which was so often the case, he suddenly came up with a suggestion.

“If we're all going to jerk off back at the hotel anyway, why not now?”

“What, together?” Jungwoo asked.

“Sure, why not? Not because you turn me on, but because all this talk does. And I'm still high from the show.”

Mark was surprisingly quick to jump onboard. “I'm down,” he said.

Jungwoo, who was done with his shower and ready to leave, turned off the water and walked over to the bench where he grabbed his towel.

He snickered while he rolled the towel, and began to playfully snap it at his friend. Haechan laughed and leaped out of the water. He ran around, past Mark, to grab his own towel in self defense. Jungwoo came at him, and soon the naked boys were engaged in a playful fight.

Mark giggled and observed from a distance, while scrubbing the remaining soap off his body. He too felt a sudden tingle. There was definitely something arousing in the air.

When the boys calmed down, he called for their attention. “Let's do it,” he said and grinned.

Haechan and Jungwoo turned to face him. They were met by the sight of Mark, standing firm under the running water, with a hard dick in his hand.

“Hah!” Haechan said with a grin. He couldn't take his eyes off his friend.

Jungwoo laughed loudly. “What the hell?” he said. “You’re horny?”

“Yeah,” Mark shrugged. “I haven’t had sex in months. My balls are bursting.”

“Well, you're not going to fuck us,” Haechan declared.

“No, but I bet we can fill this drain too.”

Jungwoo smiled wide. He put his towel down and returned to his initial shower head. He grinned while playing with his still soft cock.

Haechan was slower to react, and Jungwoo looked at him with a naughty expression. “Come on then,” he said and winked.

“Are we really doing this?” Haechan asked.

“It was your idea,” Mark pointed out.

Masturbation starts here...

Haechan thought for a moment. Then without a word he went to stand between Mark and Jungwoo, in the far right corner. He too started stroking his shaft, and without so much as glancing at the others he felt a sudden tension in the room.

Mark and Jungwoo’s presence next to him, and the way they undoubtedly looked at him to see what he would do in this moment, felt piercing. He became hard in seconds.

For a while, none of them said a word. Jungwoo had a hard time getting it up, and began thinking about his girlfriend. It helped, and he soon had a stiff shaft in his hand. Mark was still hard but moved his hand slowly, as if he was either really enjoying the moment, or was waiting to see what the others would do. He didn’t want to be the first to come.

Haechan always used both hands when he jerked off. Now, he spread his legs while he rubbed the shaft between his palms.

When they were all hard, but had not yet come to terms with what they were doing, they looked at each other and began to giggle. Haechan felt nervous, but the laughter comforted him. Still, when things were weird he had a tendency to say strange things, and that’s exactly what he did in this moment.

“Can I touch it?” he asked and looked down at Mark’s erection.

“Hell no!” Mark exclaimed.

“Why not?” Haechan asked. “I just want to feel it. I’ve never held another man’s dick before.”

“And why should you?” Mark asked. He laughed at how silly his friend was being. “That’s weird as hell.”

“Why though?” Jungwoo asked. He was leaning against the wall under the running water, stroking his cock slowly, and had a contemplative expression on his face. “It always feels great when my girlfriend gives me a hand job. You’re not her, but I’m sure it would still feel good. It’s just physics. Or biology. Whatever. Why is it weird for guys to touch each other, especially if we’re all touching ourselves in private? It’s not like it would mean anything, and even if it did there’s nothing wrong with that.”

“You seem to have thought a lot about this,” Mark joked.

“Nah, I’m just thinking out loud,” Jungwoo said. “If it feels even better when someone else does it, why aren't guys allowed to pleasure each other?”

“That's the kind of strange but real reasoning I'd expect from Mark, not you,” Haechan said and laughed. But he saw an opportunity. “Can I touch yours then?”

“No,” Jungwoo said and grinned. “That’d be like cheating. Only my girlfriend can touch this.”

Mark thought for a moment. His dick was throbbing as blood rushed through it. “Alright,” he eventually said.

“Alright what?” Haechan asked. He suddenly felt excited. This was so not him, and not something he’d ever thought about doing, but for some reason the idea appealed to him. It was a new experience.

“Alright, you can touch my dick,” Mark repeated.

Haechan’s face lit up. “Really?” he said.

Mark didn’t respond. Instead, he straightened his back and turned his pelvis in Haechan’s direction.

Haechan took a step closer to him. Am I really doing this? he thought. The suggestion had partly been a joke to ease the tension, but it didn’t come from nowhere. He actually wanted to try this. Mark’s boner pointed straight out, calling to him.

When he was inches away from it, he reached out and let his fingertips touch the shaft. The dick jolted, hardened by a sudden rush of blood. For a moment, both men held their breaths.

Then Haechan felt courageous. He looked up at Mark and their eyes met. Mark smiled naughtily, as did Haechan. Without breaking eye contact, he suddenly wrapped his hand around the shaft.

Mark’s smile immediately disappeared. “Fuck,” he said and closed his eyes. “That does feel good.”

Jungwoo stood and watched them. He grinned and smiled to himself. The sight didn’t turn him on at all, but the situation was both funny and thrilling, and he thoroughly enjoyed it.

A barrier had been broken, and Haechan was no longer shy. He was around friends, and felt comfortable in the odd situation. Encouraged by Mark’s positive reaction, he began to jerk his friend off.

Mark let him. It was easy to forget that it was Haechan and not some beautiful woman who pleasured him, because the physical touch felt amazing. His mind suddenly went blank, and perhaps that’s why he said what he said next: “Make me come.”

This was the sentence that escalated everything from curious exploration, to a mutual masturbation party.

Haechan felt inspired by Mark's words. He jerked faster, and grabbed his own dick with his free hand. Mark kept his eyes closed and tilted his head back. He let Haechan's hand pleasure him, and quickly felt an orgasm coming.

Jungwoo suddenly felt out of place. He laughed to ease the tension, but the sight of Haechan jerking both Mark and himself off was strange, yet exciting, and he was left with a choice: to stay away and feel awkward, or to go over and join them.

He decided to join them. With slow steps, he walked over to his friends and stood beside them. He looked down at the two dicks, and held out his own.

Three boners were now in a close circle. Three hard and horny young men sharing an unexpected but arousing experience.

Once Jungwoo was by his side, Haechan didn't even hesitate. He let go of his own shaft, and slowly reached for Jungwoo's. He wasn't sure if Jungwoo would let him take it, but he wasn't stopped. Jungwoo smiled at his friend, let go of his shaft, and gave in to the pleasure of Haechan's fingers wrapped around it.

With both hands occupied, Haechan milked his friends. Mark was easy to please, and he moaned and grunted occasionally. Jungwoo, who was in a relationship and had reservations, was harder.

“Faster,” Mark said. Haechan did as he was told.

Rapidly, he continued to stroke the shafts of the horny boys. He hunched down a little to get a better grip. He glanced from side to side, first at Mark's dick and the large balls shaking violently beneath it, then at Jungwoo's. He smiled to himself, as he realized that what they were doing was insane. Insane, but somehow so natural.

Suddenly, Mark's body jolted. There was no warning as his moans remained steady, but it quickly became clear that he had reached his climax.

Cum oozed out of his dick head. It dripped down into the drain and Haechan's fingers, before it was washed away by the running water.

Some of it shot out and landed on Haechan's arm. It took him by surprise, as he'd never before contemplated if he could make another man come, and what it would be like. When it did register what was happening, he sneered, quickly let go of the shaft, and pulled his hand away. Did I just cause that? he thought.

Jungwoo quickly jumped backwards when he too realized what was happening. He laughed, while Mark groaned and giggled at the same time.

Mark took over and pointed the head to the floor, where water washed away his produce. For a few seconds, the cum kept coming, and Haechan was amazed by the sheer volume of it.

“Damn,” Jungwoo said. “How much can those balls of yours hold?”

Haechan too began to giggle. He quickly washed his arm, disgusted and a little shocked by the sensation of Mark's cum on his skin, and the reaction his hand movements had caused in his friend.

Mark was panting, but slowly coming back to reality. “Holy shit,” he said and looked first at Haechan, then at Jungwoo. “You were right. From now on I never want to jerk off by myself! Haechan, can I call on you every night?”

The joke landed well, and the three laughed like it was the funniest thing ever. It was a moment of relief, in which a mixture of thrill, arousal, awkwardness and joy was released all at once. The laughter was confirmation that none of the boys had anything against what they were doing.

In a way, it wasn't just Mark who had orgasmed, as Haechan too felt a strong release by the situation. Not an actual orgasm, but a different kind of release, one that's made the day so memorable to him.

He hadn't come yet though, and was still incredibly horny. As was Jungwoo, who suggested what they would do next.

“I'll race you,” he said and looked at Haechan, while Mark turned to wash his now slack dick in the running water. “Whoever comes first wins.”

Haechan was actually relieved by the proposal. He'd worried that he'd be made fun of for having taken things this far, but the sudden change of focus meant he was off the hook.

And if he were indeed to orgasm himself in front of his friends, he needed a purpose to make it feel okay. A contest was a funny idea. If Mark's ejaculations hadn't already convinced him that everything was fine, a little competition nailed it for him.

And so he agreed. Jungwoo returned to the far-end wall and leaned against it. He spread his legs, tilted his head back and closed his eyes. Soon, he was grimacing excessively while imagining his girlfriend's naked body.

Haechan stepped away from Mark and took a good look at his friends to either side of him. Mark snickered and smiled wide at him, as he soaped up his body a second time. Jungwoo was already in his own world.

If he were to win, Haechan needed to get going. He widened his stance and resumed his previous hand movements with both palms.

He had an advantage over Jungwoo, whose cut dick meant he was less sensitive. Jungwoo had a firm grip around his whole shaft, and held it hard to get the necessary friction.

Haechan, on the other hand, focused on the head and touched himself much more softly. When he quickly but gently rubbed his palms against the head he could usually come in under a minute, which was quite a feat.

There could only be one winner, and he was determined it would be him. Alas, he failed.

With his girlfriend's hot body in mind, Jungwoo was next to reach an orgasm.

Still leaning against the wall, he moved both his hand and pelvis back and forth until he ejaculated. He released the grip around the shaft, and the sperm shot out in front of him as the dick swayed freely in the air.

“Look, no hands!” he said as if it was some sort of achievement. To his friends, it was.

Haechan came a close third, as he hunched over and picked up the pace. Mark was looking at him, and Haechan caught his gaze. To purposefully make things weird, he decided to maintain eye contact while he came. It was his idea of being funny.

Haechan's cum came in three waves. Like Mark, he pushed his dick down to get it all in the drain. The first wave was a pre-show. It oozed out slowly, dripping from his shaft and to his feet. The second was the main event, which shot out fast and far. The third was the encore, and it oozed out slowly much like the first.

All this without taking his eyes off Mark's fascinated face, though Mark wasn't looking him in the eye any longer. He was looking at the dick, and at the white liquid which diluted on the floor until it was all washed away.

“Wow,” Mark said. “My balls may be bigger, but they've got nothing on yours.”

“Holy shit,” Haechan said. “That felt awesome.”

Jungwoo was still panting by the wall, coming down from his own high.

“Well,” he said. “Thanks boys, for a great experience.”

They did a final round of washing off, before they got dressed and walked out of the room. They told security that they were leaving, and whispered and giggled the whole way back to the hotel.

“Let’s promise to keep this a secret,” Jungwoo said. Mark and Haechan quickly agreed. It was better not to mention any of this to anyone.

To Haechan, the time when he gave Mark a hand job and made him come, and had a masturbation contest with Jungwoo, became a most memorable experience. And they all kept their promise, as no one ever mentioned the event again. And that was indeed for the best.

ENNEAGRAM NINE INTRODUCTION (SAINT-BERNARD)

Nine perceives the world as demanding or exhausting. Their objective in life is to maintain a peaceful state of being.

Their (unconscious) fear is being caught in chaos, conflicts or discomfort.

SEEKS: AUTONOMY By building walls to shield against disruptive “noises” from both inside and outside.

WITHDRAWN TO : INNER SANCTUM “I won’t be affected by this.” “Why rock the boat?”

Sloth comes from a desire for an untroubled existence. However, pursuing their own best interest often leads to potential disruptions that threaten their attachments to their “comfort zone” (relationships, hobbies, routines, etc.). Thus, 9s disconnect from their own anger and vitality to preserve a calm lifestyle.

Healthy 9s display remarkable adaptability to different situations, people or environments. They have a quiet endurance that allows them to patiently but persistently work toward their goals even in the face of adversity. They recognize that inner and outer conflict is essential for their self-actualization.

Average 9s struggle to engage with their life, feeling easily exhausted or stressed from the energy required to confront difficult situations or tasks. They avoid their inner work and let things happen by themselves : they believe their effort isn’t worth the trouble. This leads to increased passivity and stagnation in personal growth.

Healthy 9s excel at seeing multiple perspectives, synthesizing ideas and bridging gaps in knowledge or opinions while finding harmonious solutions to problems. They are deeply understanding and nonjudgmental, acting as excellent mediators in conflicts. They share the wisdom of their holistic view.

Average 9s might idealize others and minimize their problems, feelings and opinions, mistakenly thinking that their presence, suffering or contributions are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. They find it difficult to recognize their true needs and struggle to assert themselves and their desires.

Healthy 9s are truly self-possessed : rather than letting life get to them, they rely on their inner stability to maintain their composure even during stressful events. They are level-headed and make sensible decisions, which serves as a calming influence on others, making them reliable people in times of need.

Average 9s are excessively protective of their autonomy or status quo. They can be stubborn and passive-aggressive when they are pressured to change. To maintain a superficial sense of peace and avoid inner turmoil, they ignore problems, tune out others, or escape into daydreaming and soothing activities.

Treatment duration may vary, with some cases requiring up to 24 months, which could deter some individuals. Compliance is crucial; forgetting to wear aligners for the recommended 20-22 hours daily can lead to slower progress and hinder results. Additionally, your orthodontist may not recommend Invisalign for severe alignment issues or complex orthodontic cases, where traditional braces may provide better outcomes.

Hello😊/

Can you, please, post about the differences between ESFJ and ENFJ?

As much as I read and even "understand" the difference, I'm having difficulty typing my mother (I'm talking to her about the Fe type based on von Franz's book and she is even identifying with the inferior Ti). I was almost sure she was ESFJ, but now I'm a little doubtful. Thank you very much!🙏🏽

Hey, thanks for reaching out! Thanks for being patient on this, hopefully it is helpful!

Short disclaimer: I haven't read von Franz's book, so this may not address any specific points of confusion you have about her book, but I was able to dig up a few excepts to give me an idea of the kind of perspective she takes when analyzing all of the types with respect to their inferior functions.

ENFJ vs ESFJ: What's the Difference?

So ENFJ and ESFJ are both Fe-dominant and Ti-inferior types with respect to the order of their cognitive functions. So if your mom is relating to the inferior Ti experience that von Franz outlines (being vulnerable to lashing out when their internal logic is being criticized), then you've definitely narrowed down your options, as you already know!

So the difference between the two lies in their auxiliary and tertiary functions. You mentioned that you were almost sure she was an ESFJ, so we'll start with that!

ESFJ: Fe-Si-Ne-Ti

The Si-Ne axis is the ESFJ's preferred perceiving axis. General characteristics include feeling more comfortable working with practical information to make decisions. Because this is Si we are talking about, it is best if the practical information comes from a source that has a lot of backing/support behind it, especially anecdotal support. This is because introverted sensing is a subjective perceiving function, so it tends to like hearing about other people's real, personal experiences to make decisions.

On the other hand, having a lower, lesser developed/controlled intuition function like Ne would make her prone to perseverating about all of the hypothetical possibilities that are out of her control and cannot be predicted by her Si (her "tried and true" methods). Because Ne would be the tertiary function and not the inferior, however, she may indulge Ne in small and inconsequential ways like enjoying a sense of humor that appears random and "out-of-pocket". She could also enjoy games of chance, obscure references that appeal to very small audiences (that she is a part of), or she could maintain an eclectic collection of unique trinkets.

ENFJ: Fe-Ni-Se-Ti

The Ni-Se axis is the ENFJ's preferred perceiving axis. General characteristics include feeling more comfortable defining an abstract, personalized, idealistic / optimized outcome with Ni, and trying to actualize it through action with Fe. Instead of the "tried and true" method of Si, Ni likes to define what would be the most effective hypothetical solution to a problem, and get as close to inventing it as they can. Bonus points if the solution is so effective, they can make it a universal solution to multiple problems.

ENFJs having a lower, lesser developed/controlled sensing function like Se would make her prone to freezing/delayed reactions situation that need a quick fix right now. Se is all about taking in the information that is readily available here and now, and having a preference for Ni would make her struggle to accept solutions that are "good enough for now" when she thinks that there is a better one to be had and she could make it happen if she just had more time. Because it would be her tertiary and not her inferior function, she might indulge Se in low-stakes situations like shopping, sports, photography, anything that engages her natural 5 senses in a fun way.

Additional Thoughts

You might be able to say that Ni is the function that originally invented the "tried and true" solution that Si craves. Even if that were always true (which it isn't), you each function has their own personal pitfalls when it comes to perception. Si might rely too heavily on how things have always been done and might not think outside the box enough, and Ni might focus too much on an ideal, personalized solution that they never accomplish anything because they have no resources to actualize their ideals, or they just reinvent the wheel, when they could have just relied on the information that was already there like Si tends to do.

Sometimes, I find going back to the basics between Sensing and iNtuition to be even more helpful than doing a deep-dive on the differences between Si and Ni, or Se and Ne. This is because having an auxiliary introverted perceiving function followed by an extraverted perceiving function in the same places of your function stack can present some similar advantages and challenges, even if their dichotomies are reversed. This may sound very iNtuitive of me, but sometimes a big-picture, bird's-eye view is most helpful to me. Understanding if your mom is more interested in gathering practical information (Sensing) or pondering abstract ideals (iNtuition) might be more pertinent (and easier lmao) in determining her type, if you've already narrowed it down to ESFJ and ENFJ.

Conclusions

Definitely let me know if I should elaborate on anything, or if this was helpful. And if it was helpful, let me know what type you decide your mom is!

[bumblingbabooshka]

How would Tuvok react to one or more of his children (Kes counts too) getting into a weird new interest he doesn't understand a la skibidibi toilet?

Hmm...He half-listens to it and clearly thinks it's silly but reiterates that he is listening if they ask. With Kes it would be different because she's an adult and not someone he thinks of as his child (more a mentee). As his children grow older his reaction to this phenomenon also changes. I envision him as the type of dad who if you're talking to him about anime will later point at anything vaguely cartoonish and ask if you'd like it. [why] I was under the impression you were interested in anime. [That is not anime, that is a cartoon.] Ah....... <- Doesn't know the difference but doesn't want to ask. It's a moment where you roll your eyes at your dad but also are a little bit pleased to know he was listening. He gets all the characters names a little bit wrong <3 In a batch of four one of his kids is no doubt deeply hurt by Tuvok's uncommitted attitude and another will just follow him around all day yapping. Just one more thing, father.  I also think there's a difference between something he doesn't understand and something he thinks is silly. If one if his kids wants to talk to him about say, a strategy math game they're really into he'll engage with it more than if Elieth wants to talk about shoes. Again. He strikes me as a person who'd really like for his children to of course be content in their lives but also maybe be proper and productive members of Vulcan society...why not go down to the learning center instead of watching cartoons? [It's anime./It's Saturday.] I'm saying all this thinking of them as teenagers though... When they're little he makes more of an effort to listen to them all seriously...he's nodding and paying full attention as they all regale him with tales of What We Played in the Park Today [action packed! the drama! the logical solutions! the pushing!] He isn't very interested in the topic itself but this peek into how their growing minds are operating is fascinating. He cherishes his children very plainly <3 Judging by Tuvok's personality he's a pretty strict person with strict values. He also doesn't hide when he's irritated or uninterested very well [Vulcans would be able to tell as Vulcan emotional expression is not alien to a Vulcan. Also he's their dad] and yet despite that he's patient and kind when it counts and especially soft/accommodating towards children. In 'Innocence' even though he clearly doesn't believe that there's a monster he still entertains the possibility and addresses their fear, trying to comfort them rather than shutting it down, you know? If say one of his children seemed hurt by his half-listening, no matter how silly it was, I know he'd apologize and give them his full attention like Ok. Ok. I am now Fully Prepared to listen to the process of you building a Gigantic Skull in Vulcan Minecraft. It'd be funny if Tuvok had random patches of heavily biased and half-remembered knowledge from his children. He knows your space Jordans are counterfeit...Elieth would have spotted them right away. With Kes he'd probably just try to listen for a bit before telling her that she should perhaps find someone else to speak about this particular topic with once he decided he wasn't interested and it had nothing to do with their mind power studies. v_v He's a guy who responded "No" when Harry asked if he wanted to know what he thought so I don't think he'd have any issue saying "I don't care about this" [worded differently] to another adult. Now if it was NAOMI he'd be stuck until he could find an excuse, Neelix, or her mom.
