CW: Mentions of gore and stalking

_____

Ren has his eyes and mind on you 24/7, on the days you stay home so does he. Whenever you go out, whether it's with friends or to run errands he's always trailing close behind; far enough not to be noticed, but close enough to protect his angel.

-If you ever have the misfortune of coming across a creep during one of your walks, he'll promptly drag them into an ally way and give them the ass whopping of a lifetime before they can do any harm towards you. Typically he wouldn't even allow those types of people to approach you, let alone gaze at you, but on the rare occasion that someone does cat call you or even tries to touch you he'll bash their head into some good ol' concrete; without you noticing of course.

On the days you stay home are probably his favourites, he gets to watch you all day, doing your morning routine, while you busy yourself with your hobbies, or better yet watch tv/your preferred streaming service. As you lounge on your couch Ren is watches you through the camera he installed in your living room. Meticulously watching each and everyone of your reactions. Whenever you laugh so does he, if you start to cry or tear up, so will he. His emotions are practically interconnected with yours.

-His PC setup isn't anything notable, despite the fact he has 3 monitors, the first one capturing you, the one next to it being all open tabs of all your social media accounts, and the last one being work related or his screen saver of you. He has a simple wooden desk with a gaming chair, no RGB- though, he might have one of those mouse pads with a character that eerily resembles you.

Whenever he works, he loves having you on his main monitor; it truly makes him feel like your there with him. If he's alone, which is most of the time he is, he'll find himself talking to himself. Each topic of conversation is always about you, he's either commenting about how amazing you look today, or praising you for the littlest things. In his eyes everything you do is nothing less than perfection.

-Although he has a playlist of his own he loves listening to any and all of your favourite songs, doesn't matter what genre it may be he's all up on that shi. Extra points if it's romantic. He'll go on a daydream about you, imaging you, how whenever you listen to the song you can't help but to think about him and how your chest tightens up at the mere thought of him; as he feels with you. He knows every song in your playlist and all the lyrics to your favourite songs. Maybe one day you'll notice him and make a playlist just for him.

This one is less serious but as mentioned before on the 14DaysWithYou blog Ren had a red room phase. Though it was short lived I like to image that while he was selling the parts he obtained totally humanely that he often added a thank you note and one of those cute freebies you get whenever you buy from an Etsy shop. The note reading "Thank you for supporting my small business. Your patronage means everything to me! (*^_^*)" ITS SO DUMB DJKSDUVI

-In canon, he is extremely apathetic towards everyone with the exception of you. Which also makes him extremely accommodating towards your needs, he knows all your struggles even if you haven't voiced them to him yet. He accepts you and your struggles, no matter how big they may be; he'll always find a way to help you. This could be helping you with work, making or ordering special meals for you or simply listening to you vent. Whether it's mental or physical to him your health and happiness is his main priority.

Which leads me to that while he may be exceptionally caring, he's also remarkably jealous, towards everyone and everything that catches your attention. Now, he would never do anything that will harm you, but he's not above harming or black mailing others that get closer than he's comfortable with. Could be a coworker or a friend that is getting a bit too friendly with you which will enable him to scour every crevice of the internet to find any dubious rumors or photos including them. He'll also hack into their phone and go through their internet history and photos for more evidence against them. He'll then DM them through one of his burner accounts and present everything he found and threaten to leak all their information on multiple threads. Moth watch out 😨

-If the subject of your affection happens to be an animal or a stuffed animal he obviously can't go through those lengths. Although he would get jealous if he sees you cuddling with your pet instead of him he knows that the affection you feel is different and will opt to plopping himself next to you and proceed to get extremely clingy. He doesn't mind sharing you with any of your non-human companions as long as he stays yours.

He found a singing yellow Jasmine

Chapter One of Uncomplicated Mi Amor

My entire masterlist and blog is for readers 18 and up, MDNI

Word Count: approx 2k

Summary: Jasmine has come to her best friend’s wedding. It’s a lot. Javier finds where the music is coming from and sees something wonderful.

Warnings: meet cute at a wedding?, mentions of singing (it's one of my other hobbies ok?), eww Dan, a pensive Javi, kids man, shoes and how to get them to work for you (cue geeky finger guns)

Notes: Nerdie is not serious with these tags, only like two of them maybe. We're at the beginning, no worries. Everything is fine. No seriously it is. 👀 Trust me a little?

Main Masterlist/ Javier Pena Masterlist

The short breeze is gone much too soon as Jasmine sits on a bench outside of the wedding venue of her best friend Eliana and her new husband Issac. After performing the song her friend had wanted her to sing, she made her way slowly to the back of the wedding hall and slipped out as the bouquet was being thrown. The humidity extended not only to the outside but also the inside as well. There had been air conditioning and fans but the sheer number of people made it impossible to cool down. 

Jasmine slips off her shoes a moment and rests her feet on top of the small rhinestones that dot her otherwise brown wedge heels. The tactile sensation is calming in addition to running her hands along her cotton dress. She hadn’t been able to do either as removing one’s shoes isn’t really socially acceptable and the hands appeared to give her tablemate Dan the wrong impression as he came looking for her and she was escaping from him too. She began humming to herself, nothing that was an actual song, just something to have some noise. As much as the sheer number of people and their noises had bothered her, sitting in complete silence makes her anxious. 

Drawn by the sound and the sight of a place to sit after leaning against the tree, Javier shook off the back of his jacket and unbuttoned a second button of his powder blue dress shirt. He’d come as a favor to both his father and his sheriff. Loredo is a place where the community matters and after Columbia and his former life as a DEA agent, Pena was happy to belong to something where functioning as part of a group was valued over individual results. It took some adjusting on his part even being back a year, but he was making headway. He just didn’t really enjoy social settings as much as he once did, always with the past here, never forgetting Lorraine. Thankfully most people saw through that after a while and a different issue arose: his reputation as a womanizer. Which was untrue, he enjoyed the company of different women sometimes and no promises were made. If assumptions were, it wasn’t on his part.

Chucho and the sheriff, Jimmy, went back quite a ways. Javier was listless when her first arrived home for the second time, saying he wasn’t going anywhere this time. He’s home permanently. Chucho was happy but it concerned him after a few months. His son was rarely seen off the ranch, so came his call to Jimmy to see if there was a deputy sheriff job open for the younger Peña. Thankfully there was and it took some convincing on both men’s parts but soon Javier was part of the sheriff’s department. It was good for Javier to see and interact with more people, social functions were still a hurdle. 

Peña felt that overall, he was definitely a different man than in Columbia. That Javi wasn’t needed here. He could be lighter if people would stop reminding him of what he’d been through and what they heard or assumed.

Following the soft voice, he sees the back of a woman in a bright yellow dress, her shoes off her feet and she’s currently taking her hair down. It’s black, coily and expands to three the size of the bun it was in. He makes sure to walk around the bench so she can see him as he approaches. Her full lips are painted a muted pink and she has gold eyeshadow with round cheeks and a chin. The singer’s skin had been loved by the sun more than his with toffee expanding from beyond her dress. 

“Hola (hello), mind if I sit next to you hermosa (gorgeous)?” A flash of his trademark grin has her scoot over, nearly into the arm end of the bench. Her smile is nervous and he doesn’t want her to be, nor did he want her to move over at all. “You didn’t need to move. I’ve got plenty of room.” He gives it a beat to see if she’ll move back to her original spot and take back her space, when she doesn’t, he decides to ask, despite getting the feeling he might be intruding. This woman has got him curious, wondering usually isn’t a bad thing for him. “What song were you singing? It drew me over from my tree. It sounded beautiful.” He sat down and was looking forward when he began the question, turning to his left where she sat. 

Jasmine felt more overheated than when she first came outside. A stranger, a tall and handsome stranger had sat down next to her and was now saying he’d heard her singing. He’d also called it beautiful and if she wasn’t mistaken he called her hermosa. That part could be just him being polite. Moving back over and closer to her shoes, she kept a distance from him, but not as much as before. “It wasn’t any song really. Just something I was singing to fill in the silence.” Her hands are flat against her thighs, ready to start running across the fabric of her dress again, the soft cotton always feels good on her palms. Meeting his gaze had her mouth run dry, the sandy tone to his skin contrasted with more papaya tones in his neck. Dark hair and kind eyes behind a gold pair of aviators perched on his curved nose. Tourmaline waves parted on the left side of his crown were matched by his bold eyebrows and thick mustache. His lips were a lace pink and plush. The sunlight made the sweat along his neck glimmer, accentuating its definition. The light blue shirt made the reds and browns in his skin stand out even more. “Did you need to get some fresh air too?” She asked, he could be doing that, escaping someone like she was doing or something else entirely. Now she was curious too, about this man who’d chosen to sit next to her.

“It sounded like it could have been a song. I needed some air too. Too damn hot in there and a lot of people. They all love it and it is a wonderful ceremony. You also sang that Aretha Franklin song perfectly, I get why they asked you to do it.”

Laughing, Jasmine held onto the bench, she didn’t need to touch her dress so far. “It’s what happens when you make the mistake of letting your best friend talk you into going to karaoke ten years ago and she never forgets. Who remembers something like that?” Javier laughs knowing he would have punched Steve if he at any point would have mentioned going anywhere near any karaoke bar. He gets it. 

“Why did you agree then?”

“Well, the hope is she’s only getting married once and she’s my best friend. It was a fairly big ask, but not a huge one.” She hesitates before speaking, “My name’s Jasmine. What’s yours? Unless you’re trying to be a man of mystery at a wedding.” That one gives Javier a deep belly laugh. That’s a first to be called a man of mystery.

“I could say the same of you, an unknown singer in a lemon yellow dress.” Javier removes his aviators with a neck roll and that same grin from when he first sat down. “Name’s Javier, but call me Javi.” Jasmine can’t help but snort, covering her mouth to muffle how loud the sound is. On instinct, his hand reaches for hers and moves away from her face, her lips touch his knuckles, leaving a smear of their pigment on his skin. “Lo siento pero (I’m sorry but), don’t hide. Your snort is cute.” Her chuckle remains, holding Javier’s hand. He’s gentle and told her that something she feels very self-conscious about, is cute. She appreciates this almost as much as when he told her not to hide. Lowering her hand to her thigh, Javier ensured her hand was on the bottom so he wouldn’t be overstepping.

”Thank you.” She wasn’t sure what else to say. Really there was so much Jasmine could compliment him for and it’s been less than five minutes since she met the man. She found herself leaning toward Javier, touching her shoulder with his when Rosa, Issac’s daughter and one of the flower girls ran up and tapped her on the shoulder while calling her name.

“Tía (aunt) Jazz! Tía Jazz, mama wants you in more pictures! Your bright yellow is gonna go in the middle!” Rosa squealed as she bounced around the bench and took hold of Jasmine’s free arm. “Why don’t you have your shoes on? Tía Jazz you’re silly.” The three of them laughed and the little girl released Jasmine’s arm. “You gotta put your shoes back on.”

“I know Rosa. I’ll be there shortly. Let your mama and papa know okay?” With a kiss to her forehead, the flower giggled. 

Javier smiled at the two of them. “I’ll make sure your aunt makes it inside with her shoes on pequeña (little one). Te lo prometo (I promise you).” Rosa tilted her head and seemed to be questioning if he really was going to. 

“Sí (Yes).” She shot a look to her aunt and leaned close to Javier but was not adept at whispering. “Sea amable con mi tía (Be nice to my aunt). Estoy observándote (I’m watching you).” Javier nodded and put his free hand over his chest to which Rosa had a wide smile of approval showing off a missing tooth. She bounced off in the same direction as she came leaving Jasmine and Javier alone again.

“Your niece seems fun and cares a great deal about you hermosa. Sounds like I’ll need to be careful.” Pena released her hand with a soft laugh and stood up. Jasmine thought he was going to go back inside but he didn’t. Instead, he moved in front of her. “I can help you get your shoes on Jasmine. Little Rose did tell me to be nice, though I’m always nice to ladies.” He regretted the last part of that sentence because it was a bit too much information. 

Blinking, she shook her head, “No, I can get them back…” Jasmine thought for a moment. This is likely one of those moments Eliana keeps reminding me about. He’s showing more of an interest in offering to help me with something. I should accept, right? And, I was okay with him touching my hands earlier. If it’s too weird, I’ll just tell him to stop. Javier seems like he would listen. I think. “On second thought, I could use some help with them.” Squatting down, Javi picks up one wedge and holds it one hand, sliding the other up her ankle and calf as the shoe goes on her foot. Her palms press into her thighs, not to soothe, but to distract her from the sensation spreading from her lower belly up. Repeating the same motions with the opposite foot, both of her shoes are on and he rises, offering her a hand. Jasmine meets his gaze and he points to her lips.

“Your lipstick smudged. Once we go in you should fix it before your pictures.” Javier suggests and Jasmine nods as she stands.

“Gracias (Thank you) Javi.” Placing her hand in his again, they made their way back to the festivities. Javier would keep to his word he gave her little niece and he found he didn’t feel like bolting out of this wedding anymore.

GENERAL ,  ( following & dash & respect. ) treat me and my muse with respect. do not god mod, forceship, mass-like posts, ignore my rules, etc. treat me right and we'll be just fine. i am mutuals only so please keep this in mind. if you follow me, you're doing so with the understanding that i will reply to what i want when i want and you're not going to complain to me about it. i will not be stressing myself out to meet the activity demands of anyone on this hellsite ever. i refuse to be anxious and worried about being blocked for getting a reply out "too late." this is a hobby, and if you don't like that, my blog is not the place for you.

CONTENT ,  ( triggers & tagging & all that jazz. ) my blog will include all the standard triggers you would expect with hazbin hotel & helluva boss. everything will be tagged to the best of my ability as trigger /. i do not tag ships, but you'll rarely see me reblogging ship art anyway. please tag any and all mentions of discourse / drama / callouts, ooc alcohol / drug use, realistic spiders and clowns. please, please tag accordingly. i am fine with dark and disturbing themes. i do not have any triggers other than the aforementioned ones. i am more than willing to have not safe for work material on my blog other than smut ( nsfw headcanons are welcome ).

FOLLOWING ,  ( i see you and you see me. ) as mentioned earlier, i am mutuals only. this means that i only interact with people i'm following and who are following me. i do follow sideblogs, and i keep track of what mains are to make sure we're mutuals!  i like a clean dash, so i only follow who i look to interact with. don't take this personally but if you have multiple blogs, i will only follow the ones i'm personally interested in. if you wish to unfollow, please hardblock me. i will do the same when i wish to unfollow. if i follow you and you're not interested, you're free to hardblock as well. no hard feelings, curate your space. on why i hardblock vs softblock, it's simply because i have poor memory and this is easier for me!

INTERACTIONS ,  ( basic rp etiquette applies. ) again, respect is key. no god modding, no metagaming, no forceshipping, all the general jazz. also a note that i am extremely oc selective. this is just a comfort thing; i know people breathe their life into their ocs! if you have ocs on your multimuse, i ask that you allow me to approach them if i'm interested. single muse oc blogs, you're all good, i followed for a reason! finally, i am not crossover friendly. this is another comfort thing, so i will not be interacting with or following any crossover muses. there are several fandoms that are simply uncomfortable for me, so i have simply made the decision that i will only be interacting with canon characters originally based in hazbin hotel and helluva boss.

DRAMA ,  ( i seriously do not want to see it. ) drama is a serious no. there’s never any reason to answer a hate anon and if i see you do so, i will block you without hesitation. i require discourse/drama and callouts to be tagged like you would triggers. even if you don’t think it’s discourse, please tag it. this allows me to get myself into the right mindset before i hop into reading anything. with that, also know that i will unfollow if i see an abundance of negativity on your blog, especially if it's untagged or just tagged with a general ooc tag.

SHIPPING ,  ( yep, we made it to this part. ) shipping is not a priority for this blog. at all. on the off chance it becomes a thing, it will be done with respect to the muse's character and canon orientation. this means i won't be changing any of the canon sexualities just to ship. as far as i'm aware, lucifer's canon sexuality has not been announced and is therefore up to my interpretation.

MISCELLANEOUS ,  ( i had to google how to spell that word. ) if a thread is on my thread tracker, don't bother me about it. i know it's there and i'll answer it when i get to. if we've been talking for a while in ims, feel free to ask for my discord for easier communication. my muses do have abouts linked in my masterlist, where important headcanons are listed so i implore you to read the abouts. any not linked are under construction. i have an interest tracker that can be filled out if you would like to.

KING ,  ( it's me. i'm the problem, it's me. ) my name is Zayne and i use he / him pronouns. i am twenty seven years old and tbh i'm just happy to be here. i don't bite so don't be afraid to pop in to talk. chances are, i'm more afraid of you than you are of me. i just love velvette's sass and my lil deer man. aroace solidarity. married to @/hazbintales ( this isn't a joke, we're literally married ). you can also find me at radiosrequiem and helldrip.

hi! it's my first time requesting for your blog and I saw you take requests for neuvillette, there's not much content of him x male reader that isn't smut 🥲

since i can't wait for natlan, how abt neuvi x fire dragon male reader? i imagine him being this very evidently strong warrior, the most powerful of his nation but when he's with neuvi he gets so flustered, he's so enamoured he doesn't know how to deal with it, like a princess flame from adventure time kind of situation. they're both very much in love but show it in their own ways, both reserved and serious looking but very romantic once they're alone.

neuvillette x m! reader (part 2)

notes: i hope I didn’t take too long to finish this. i didn’t know if you wanted them to be in an established relationship, so i just made it where they were in one(i can always make a part 2 that’s ab before their relationship) lmk if i interpreted your request wrong and i’ll fix it.

update: part 2 is made, click the part 2 with the underline to get taken to it.

y/n l/n was a very well-known name, he was known as one of the best warriors in Natlan. y/n was also known for being very serious and reserved, some rumored that he only knew two things: war and bluntness. However, most didn’t know that it could all disappear in an instant if you put him next to Neuvillette.

Speaking of Neuvillette, y/n is currently freaking out since he found out he has to go to Fontaine and meet with some people. If it wasn’t obvious, one of those people is neuvillette, who he may or may not be dating. Why would y/n be freaking out if he was already in a relationship with Neuvillette? Because y/n doesn’t understand how to show his love for Neuvillette. How do you explain to someone that you love them so much you would blow up the world for them?

Now thinking about it, y/n hasn’t seen Neuvillette for a while. They send letters at least once a week, but it’s hard with their busy schedules along with living so far apart. “How does that sound to you, y/n?” Someone spoke, breaking him out of spacing out, “Ah, yes, I shall be on my way to Fontaine in the next day.”

That day surprisingly went by fast, which made a rare feeling arise in y/n, anxiety. Now, anxiety was common for most people, but y/n rarely if ever felt it. He was a dragon and one of the strongest warriors in his nation, why would he need to be anxious about something? Was it because he was about to see his boyfriend (mate?), who he was dangerously in love with and would quite literally get on his knees and bark for him if he asked? No, of course not!

Sometimes, y/n forgot how long of a journey it was to Fontaine, especially when carrying things with him. Maybe this time, he could just leave the stuff at Neuvillette's place, just the thought of that made him feel all giddy. Soon enough, y/n saw the elegant nation of hydro.

y/n was greeted by a couple of the civilians as he walked through the city. Most kept their distance from him, which wasn’t surprising, he wasn’t from Fontaine (obviously), plus he’s a huge man who looked like he would snap anyone’s neck if they looked at him funny. y/n didn’t want to attract any more attention that wasn’t necessary so he hurried to Palais Mermonia.

Once y/n arrived, he made his way to Neuvillette's office, ignoring the looks he was getting. y/n felt like his heart was going to burst out of his chest the closer he got to Neuvillette's office. y/n was a bit embarrassed that he was feeling like a schoolgirl about to confess to her crush. People around him could probably see him blushing (all they see is y/n with an intimidating face approaching Neuvillette's office).

knock knock. y/n waited patiently for Neuvillette to allow him to come into his office. y/n wondered if anyone told Neuvillette that he was coming today, but before he could overthink anymore a voice interrupted his thoughts. “Come in.” Hearing Neuvillette's voice made his heartbeat pick up even faster like he was going to puke (in a good way).

y/n opened the door, “Sorry for the sudden appearance.” y/n said as he stepped inside Neuvillette's office. Before he could say anything else, y/n saw how good Neuvillette looked right now. All y/n could do was stare, “It’s fine, I was wondering when the next time you’d show up would be. Take a seat, let’s discuss some things.” As Neuvillette talked, y/n said nothing, he didn’t trust himself to not become a flustered mess. “y/n, are you listening?”

y/n expressed his love in a different but similar way than Neuvillette did. Neuvillette called y/n nicknames (when it was appropriate; not at work settings), holding his hand, smiling at him, subtle things. While y/n did things like doing whatever Neuvillette asked, helping him out with chores, and spending time with him. Speaking of spending time with Neuvillette, both males were currently at Neuvillette's desk.

y/n was sitting next to Neuvillette, trying his hardest to not think about how perfect Neuvillette was. “Would you like to go to a restaurant nearby later?” Neuvillette asked when he noticed it was starting to get late. y/n felt his body heat up, “I suppose,-only if you want to though.” y/n stuttered out, his hands going to his lap when he felt them start to get hot.

“You’re so easy to fluster, y/n. I wouldn’t have asked if I didn’t want to,” Neuvillette chuckled while looking back at his paperwork. “I’m about to be done with this. Why don’t you tell me about what’s been going on in Natlan? I heard something is brewing up.” Neuvillette asked with a slight hum. “Why are you always thinking of work? Do you not like me enough to ask about something else? Am I not interesting enough?” y/n asked with furrowed eyebrows and a pout on his face. y/n wasn’t necessarily upset or anything but it did frustrate him a bit that one of the first things his boyfriend asked was about work.

Neuvillette looked at y/n, a blank look on his face. Before y/n could question the look, Neuvillette's hand came up and cupped his face, “You’re so cute. I was just wanting to make small talk for now. You’re the most interesting man I’ve met, y/n, there’s no need to get worried.” Neuvillette said honestly, looking at y/n with a soft smile and giving him a peck on his lips.

y/n felt his whole body heat up as he started to blush, “You can’t just-“ y/n tried to say but the realization of Neuvillette kissing him made y/n cover his face. Neuvillette apologized, hiding an amused tone, “My apologies, I didn’t mean to fluster you,” after a moment, Neuvillette spoke up again, “You’re going to burn my chair if you don’t calm down, love,” Neuvillette stated while cleaning up his desk before they went on the date.

The entire date was the both of them being flirty to each other (which definitely didn’t look like an old married couple flirting with each other). “When things clear up, you should come to Natlan. There’s this restaurant I think you’ll like.” y/n suggested as he continued to eat his food. Every now and then, y/n would look up to stare at Neuvillette, feeling like a love-struck teenager.

As they finished eating and walked out of the restaurant (yes the meal got paid for), Neuvillette held y/n hand, walking towards his house. “How long are you staying for?” Neuvillette asked in a calm tone, taking glances at his boyfriend. “I have to leave Monday, around 8 am.” y/n answered, looking around the city. “Fontaine is beautiful.” y/n muttered. Even if it wasn’t his first time in the nation, it always made him amazed every time he came.

The couple mostly kept silent as they walked, feeling comfort in each other presence. “I love you,” y/n said suddenly in a soft tone which made Neuvillette look towards him, “I love you too.” y/n looked at Neuvillette, stopping both of them in their tracks. “Neuvillette, I'm being serious, I would catch myself on fire and die if you asked.” “My love, you do realize fire does not affect you, right?”

Neuvillette loved his warrior, y/n was strong and would protect Neuvillette from anyone who looked at them wrong. Even if he didn't say it out loud, it always made Neuvillette proud that he was the only one to make y/n act like a different person than he normally was. It was also very amusing to him.

Embracing Sustainability: The Vital Role of E-Waste Recycling Services

In today's digital age, technology has become an integral part of our lives, enabling us to connect, work, and communicate more efficiently than ever before. However, the rapid evolution of electronics also brings along a significant challenge: electronic waste, or e-waste. As our electronic devices continue to advance, the need for responsible disposal and recycling through e-waste recycling services becomes more crucial than ever. In this blog, we'll delve into the importance of e-waste recycling services and how they contribute to a sustainable future.

Understanding the E-Waste Challenge

E-waste encompasses discarded electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, TVs, printers, and more. These devices often contain hazardous materials like lead, mercury, and cadmium, which can pose serious environmental and health risks if not properly managed. Furthermore, the rapid pace of technological advancements leads to a constant stream of outdated gadgets, exacerbating the e-waste problem.

The Role of E-Waste Recycling Services

Environmental Conservation

E-waste recycling services play a pivotal role in preventing toxic materials from ending up in landfills or being improperly disposed of. When e-waste is recycled, valuable materials such as gold, silver, and copper can be recovered and reused, reducing the need for further mining and resource extraction.

Reduction of Carbon Footprint

Manufacturing electronic devices requires a substantial amount of energy and resources. By recycling e-waste and recovering valuable components, less energy is required for new production, leading to a reduced carbon footprint.

Prevention of Resource Depletion

Many electronic devices are made from scarce and finite resources. E-waste recycling services help preserve these resources by reusing materials from discarded electronics, reducing the demand for new raw materials.

Job Creation and Economic Growth The e-waste recycling industry provides employment opportunities in collection, sorting, dismantling, and processing. This not only benefits the local economy but also supports the growth of a sustainable industry.

Data Security and Privacy

E-waste recycling services often include data destruction methods that ensure sensitive information is properly wiped from devices before recycling. This safeguards individuals and businesses against data breaches.

Steps Towards Effective E-Waste Recycling

Awareness and Education Raising awareness about the importance of e-waste recycling is crucial. Consumers need to be educated about the risks of improper disposal and the benefits of recycling their electronic devices.

Collection and Sorting E-waste recycling services often start with collection centers where individuals can drop off their old devices. These centers then sort the items into categories for further processing.

Dismantling and Recovery In this phase, devices are disassembled, and valuable materials are recovered. These materials can include metals, plastics, glass, and even rare earth elements.

Responsible Disposal Any hazardous materials that cannot be recycled safely are disposed of following proper environmental guidelines to prevent contamination.

Promotion of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) EPR initiatives encourage manufacturers to take responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their products, including proper disposal and recycling. This promotes sustainable design and production practices.

Embracing a Sustainable Future

As technology continues to advance, so too must our approach to end-of-life management. E-waste recycling services are not just a necessity; they are a crucial aspect of building a sustainable future. By supporting these services and making conscious decisions about how we dispose of our electronic devices, we can collectively reduce the environmental impact of our digital lifestyles. Let's all play our part in safeguarding the planet and its resources for generations to come.

heyyy! thoughts on how nobu, motonari, kenshin, ieyasu, and shingen act in an argument with their s/o, and how they make up? thanks, queen. love your blog btw

Hello! Aw I feel flattered that you like my blog! Thank you for requesting! Also, don’t worry, I saw your other ask adding more to the request.

Getting into an argument and making up.

Oda forces.

Nobunaga Oda.

It’s kind of expected to get into arguments sometimes, Nobunaga is a man who is quite assertive, tends to always win in an argument. But then you two have a fight, it wasn’t about something serious, but still got you two into an argument. It was mostly regarding his attitude, there were still some things that he didn’t understand when it comes to dating. For example, he didn’t understand why you were upset that, at banquets, dancers would dance around him. He wouldn’t pay any attention to them, he had you after all. But that still made you upset, so you confronted him. To him, it wasn’t something to worry about, so you should stop being concerned over it.

It earned him the silent treatment, which… he wouldn’t be able to endure. It pained him when you didn’t answer him or even looked at him. This man is not hesitant about calling a whole war council whenever you are upset. He will then approach you after receiving advice, offering you sweets (his favorites), asking you more softly why you were upset and what he could do to make you happy. Nobunaga will, no questions asked, do anything to make you happy.

Ieyasu Tokugawa.

It’s a bit hard to think of one specific case of when you two argued. It happens a little bit often because of his sour personality. Sometimes he can say things in such a salty way that it can cause an argument. But you usually wouldn’t get upset, and he didn’t like fighting with you, so he would apologize and end the arguments as fast as possible. But on this one occasion, he�� was a bit too salty. But you didn’t respond to him right away, when he looked at you…

Oh no, were those tears? No, he didn’t mean to make you cry. He promised to never make you cry or feel sad. The apology came immediately, as well as being pulled into a tight hug. Ieyasu held you tightly as he gave you a million apologies.

Uesugi-Takeda alliance.

Kenshin Uesugi.

The reason was a bit obvious, kenshin can be a bit too overprotective. If you get hurt, even if it’s by accident, he will take care of you like you are in grave danger. And the object that hurted you? He will get rid of it, and any other object that may injure you. You tried talking to him about how he should take it easy and not worry so much about you, that he shouldn’t be so overprotective. He wasn’t trying to argue with you, but it did turn into an argument. To him, it was impossible to be less protective or to try and handle these situations more calmly. You were just too precious to him.

But he noticed that it upsets you that he wouldn’t at least try, and that pained his heart more than anything. He hugs you gently and promises that he will try to grant your wish and be more calm, to not take extreme solutions whenever something happens to you. And believe him, because he will give his all to do that.

Shingen Takeda.

Arguing with shingen can be rare, but it does happen. Of course, you trusted him fully and knew that he would never flirt with someone else, but… it still upset you a little bit how he would still get surrounded by women no matter where you two go. Other reasons for a possible argument is if he isn’t taking proper care of himself, or when he doesn’t tell you that something might have happened to not worry you. Regardless of the reasons, you will scold him because you seriously care about him.

Shingen will not try to argue in a way that makes you more upset. He will try to soothe you and reassure you that he is going to be ok and nothing can take him away from his goddess. In the end, his sweet words will calm you, but you will still worry about him.

Lone forces.

Motonari Mouri.

Arguments happen often, he can be a bit too cruel with his words sometimes. Insults often leaves his mouth, but he wouldn’t just go and insult you. It’s just that, sometimes, this pirate can be a bit too rough with his words. To the point of being irritating, so you two tend to argue a lot. Some of his crew often joke that you two look like a married couple already.

But arguments often end with… a bit of spicy makeups, one moment you two are arguing about the other being idiots, the other you two are kissing and clinging to each other. And it works, because you two forget all about what you were arguing before.

[slasherhaven]

Hi I love your blog especially how accurate it is compared to other slasher blogs who don’t really portray the slashers as accurate as you. Could you do one where the slashers who aren’t as nice like Bo, Michael, and who ever else accidentally hurt their plus sized s/o feelings by jokingly making fun of their weight and apologize for hurting their feelings. (And possibly yaujta not realizing that they’d be ashamed or embarrassed about their body).

Hi! Thank you so much!!!

Includes: Michael Myers, Bo Sinclair, and Yautja (Predator).

Accidently hurting their S/O’s feelings:

Michael Myers

Micahel had never commented on your weight before, but then again he doesn’t comment about much...

He practically grew up in the Sanitarium, so there was a lot that he wasn’t exposed too.

He really doesn’t care all that much about appearances or what society might consider attractive and unattractive, he is simple attracted to who and what he’s attracted too. And that just so happens to be you.

He likes you as a whole, not in separate parts. He doesn’t see your weight as a negative or a positive, it simply is.

However, this means that he doesn’t really see a problem with mentioning it or drawing attention to it in someway. Especially if you’ve never mentioned an insecurity before.

For once, Michael didn’t actually mean any harm, if anything he was being...playful? But the playfulness didn’t land at all...

He had pinched your stomach, not hurting you (physically anyway). He was just aware of the soft flesh there, he didn’t think anything of it.

“Michael!” you snapped in shock, pushing his hand away. Then he knew that he had done something wrong, you were clearly angry with him, hurt on your face before you stormed out of the room.

He had never really given you a reason to doubt his attraction to you, most of your insecurity came from your own internal thoughts, but this just made you think that you had been right this whole time. Did your weight bother him? Did he not like it? Was he not attracted to you? Was he mocking you?

At first Michael just rolled his eyes and dismissed it, you must have just been in a bad mood or being sensitive. What could he have done wrong?

But when he realised that you were avoiding him and were still clearly upset with him, he figured that he had done something more serious than he previously thought.

So, he tracked you down to the bedroom and he won’t let you leave until you tell him what’s going on.

At first you didn’t want to say anything, worried that he would think you were being silly or just make fun of you more.

But he is persistent, not liking when you act strange.

So, you give in and tell him what upset you. He’s still confused and tilts his head at you to explain further, so you do. Tears brimming in your eyes as you tell him about your insecurities and assumptions that he felt the same way.

He didn’t feel the same way and he didn’t know why you would worry about something like that.

Of course he didn’t respond and that only made you more worried.

But Michael’s shoulders dropped before approaching you, placing both hands on your waist.

You were about to slap his hands away and question his actions but you didn’t get the chance as he lifted you up and tossed you down onto the bed.

If you truly thought so lowly of yourself and worried about his opinion on your body so much, Michael would show you show he actually felt about your body the only way he knew how.

Bo Sinclair

God, Bo is such an asshole.

Before you started dating, he had made comments about your weight, passing jokes and jabs that made you feel bad about yourself. You tried to accept it as a part of who he was, that it wasn’t personal and that he was just trying to get a rise out of you, but the words lingered in your mind and fed your insecurities.

The worst part of the whole thing was that you had started to fall for the man who you could practically call your bully.

You had actually been surprised when he started showing a more sincere interest in you, since he had been pretty awful to you in the past.

But when he started to show a real interest in you, the jokes and jabs stopped. He was no longer trying to make you feel bad because he had accepted his feelings for you and had started trying to be decent.

Then the two of you started dating. The past comments faded out of your mind, practically forgotten about.

Things went well for a while, until one evening.

Bo hadn’t straight out insulted you or anything but he had made a passing playful comment about your weight. He had meant it fondly really, though he struggled with expressing that.

With that one comment, all the comments he made in the past came to the forefront of your mind. Is that how he truly felt about you? Was he even truly attracted to you?

Obviously and understandably, you were upset by the comment. But you tried not to react, just hanging your head and keeping quiet.

He didn’t notice instantly but did eventually when you were being unusually quiet, asking what was wrong.

You were hesitant to tell him what was wrong but eventually gave in, explaining how the comment hurt and all the insecurities that his past comments had left you with.

“Hell, I’m sorry, Sweetheart” you were a little caught off guard by the flat out apology, it was a very rare thing to hear from Bo. “I was only messing around, and I never meant any of that stuff I said in the past...I was just trying to push you away” a part of you knew that but his words had stull stung.

“You know I think you’re sexy as fuck” Bo smirked a little, managing to earn a small laugh from you.

“You’re such an asshole” you shook your head at him, a small smile on your lips. You knew you could get away with calling him such a thing right now, he was in one of his rare soft moods.

“I know, darlin’“ he nodded along, making you smile some more.

“C’mere” Bo opened his arms for you as he sat back on the couch, inviting you down onto his lap.

Bo would make sure to not make such comments again and he would try to prove to you that he hadn’t meant all that stuff he said in the past, he would try to make up for it.

Yautja (Predator)

Yautjas are pretty much pure muscle but he doesn’t see that as the norm for humans. He loves you exactly the way you are, he loves your size, he loves your softness.

He doesn’t understand that it’s something that humans are made to feel insecure about, he doesn’t think it’s a flaw in the slightest.

He adores how soft you are and Yautjas are very blunt. So, he tells you that he likes how soft and squishy you are, maybe even complimenting his comment by physically squeezing your stomach, thigh, or other body part.

The blunt comment about your appearance hurt, you weren’t sure how to take it. You already worried that you couldn’t compare to his own race and now he was commenting on your weight, it stung. 

He instantly knew something was wrong, noticing the tears welling in your eyes as you excused yourself from the room.

He knew that he must have done or said something wrong but honestly had no idea what...

But he followed you, concerned. Asking you what was wrong, what he had done, and how he could fix it.

You were hesitant to talk about it but finally asked if your weight bothered him, completely confusing him. Why would you think that? Didn’t he just express that he liked it?

He expresses his confusion and you realise that he truly hadn’t meant any harm.

You have to explain to him many differences between your cultures, including some of the insecurities that humans feel. 

He listens intently so he can understand, instantly apologising for having upset you and hurt your feelings.

But he also goes on to explain that he loves everything about you just the way it is. He loves the way you look, the way you feel in his arms. He had spoke so bluntly because he wasn’t aware that you would ever see your size as something to be ashamed of or embarrassed about.

It’s very easy to forgive him, knowing that he didn’t understand but also how couldn’t you forgive him when he was complimenting you so sincerely.

You’re mate will make it up to you and make sure you know how much he meant it when he said that he adores your body.

[athyathye]

Hello ath!! I'm new to your blog and ur content is so pretty can i request a reader like kenma?? But like the intense one?? like playing 24/7 nonstop, has fucked up sleeping sched, can't even eat properly, they asked when was the last time they sleep and they said "3 days or something" while yawning and they like "tf u mean 3 days or something—aiGJT THAT'S ENOUGH" and the rest is up w u for your choice of tokrev boy?? Thank youuu have a great day!!

Kenma! Reader

(Chifuyu, Baji and Inui)

Author's note 📝: thank you and have a great day as well anon~! ❤ 🤍

Warnings ⚠️: nothing too serious!

Chifuyu :

Kenma reader and Chifuyu? Mother hen and chick.

Hear me out, Chifuyu is always calm and rational, even when under pressure, I’m not saying Kenma isn’t but he dislikes being too excited or fired-up about most things.

“Y/n have you eaten?”  “Y/n did you drink water? “How many hours did you sleep last night?"

Statements like that are a constant when you’re with him.

“C’mon eat some veggies damn it!” He forcefully shoved a whole plate of food down your throat one day, when you were so caught up in your game that you didn’t even realize that the day had passed.

I kind of imagine your relationship like Draken and Mikey except it’s a softer version.

Because of your reserved nature, this prevents you from being very friendly which leads to you having a difficult time making friends so Chifuyu has to sometimes step up and do the talking for you.

“You tend to lose sight of things whenever you’re fired up.” He smiled at you one day, looking proud because you had managed to form a conversation with Baji.

You looked around you, noticing that you were now halfway around the park that you had walked in to meet up with Chifuyu.

“I’m not fired up” “Are too” “Am not, by the way Baji-san seems really...out there… i kind of feel uncomfy-” “You literally just started talking to him-”

What Chifuyu found the most surprising about you was when it was revealed that you had a competitive side.

This may sound hypocritical for him who always tells you to sleep early, but one time he snuck out his house to yours just because he wanted to.

Call it his impulses but he just randomly thought of you in the middle of the night after finishing a fight with the gang.

He climbed his way up to your bedroom window, which to no surprise your light was on, and you were playing video games.

He sighed to himself, about to knock on your window when you suddenly started cursing at your screen.

Going as far as to throw your controller to your bed which was right beside you.

‘This was probably what they called ‘baby-raging’ Chifuyu thought as he watched you pound your fist on the floor.

He taps on your window to get your attention, to which you almost scream at.

“You got room for one more?” He said, his voice muffled through the glass.

Baji :

Baji was someone who pulled you along to his shenanigans, even if you didn’t want to, he would force you to.

He kind of disliked you at first actually, you rarely showed emotions, which usually causes you to look like he is giving a cold impression to others.

You were not his cup of tea, he thought of you as a haughty brat who cares only about themself.

But through the friendly Chifuyu, his first impression of you gradually disappeared. Spending a few months together, he saw your charm and personality, even if he did have to take it so excruciatingly slow with you.

He was def the flirty and teasing one in the relationship, finding it hilarious how you would always hide behind him whenever somebody approached.

“Baji, can you stop doing these things? They’re embarrassing” You tugged at his shirt.

“Why not it sets the mood” “That’s just his way of showing you love” “Yeah, plus it’s kinda funny seeing him act like this.” His members commented, overhearing your statement.

“And that’s that. Hey wait a minute- what do you mea-”

There was a time when somebody suddenly approached you while waiting for him.

“Hey! Is that game interesting? More interesting than me who you didn’t even notice?” He asked with a wide smile. Though it didn’t look nice, well at least not in your opinion.

“I guess” “Say, were you taking a jog? It looks like you were, with your tracksuit and all” “Well, no. I’m not really athletic, I don’t mind it, I guess, but I don’t like getting ti-”

“Y/n!” You heard someone shout, you looked toward the source, seeing the familiar form of Baji.

“Keisuke” You uttered, standing up to get your bag.

“Hey, *sshole, what business do you have with my girlfriend?” He asked with a smile, showing off his canines but the tick mark on his head making it visible that he was not playing.

“It’s fine.” You said curtly, hoping that it wouldn’t lead to a fight. “S-sorry” The boy had uttered.

“Wanna fight? Prissy boy.” He cracked his knuckles, the smile never leaving his face.

“No! I- i didn’t know she was a part of Toman” The poor lad who was now trembling glanced at you, nervously chuckling at your boyfriend who looked ready to snap his spine.

“...You didn’t ask…” You gazed downwards to the left, before Baji blocked his view of you.

“Doesn’t matter what our excuse is, I’m gonna rip you to pieces.”

Inui :

An introvert with an introvert? Classic.

Though unlike you, Inui isn't afraid to voice his views and opinions  even if it hurts him in the end.

You guys were that couple that were so lowkey nobody thought you’d be dating.

But you’re also that couple that nobody wants to mess with, why? Because you guys were the definition of “Nobody plans a murder out loud.”

While he was the person who was willing enough to do the physical parts of a plan, you were the strategical one who made the plans.

“That guy is intelligent, He observes and thinks carefully, The complete opposite of his facade” you spoke to Inui besides you. Who glanced at the person as well, Toman was currently having a 1 on 1 where he decided to participate.

He was next on the field before he turned to you, “What do you think I should do?”

“He looks like he enjoys throwing punches...but his kicks are exceptionally on point today.” You glanced at Inui besides you, your eyes showing him just how much he should trust you, he nodded before going to the fighting area.

What you didn’t expect was for Mikey to take an interest in you, even though you weren’t even part of the gang.

“Y/n, Mikey says he wants to talk to you- …you sure do have the most expressive face sometimes” Inui had looked at you amusedly, the way your face just turned sour at the thought of getting caught into something was humorous to him.

“You have sharp observational skills, you’ll definitely make Toman stronger, whadd’ya say?” “Can I refuse-” “No.”

That was how you became Toman’s strategist.

“Don’t panic, everything’s coming together” You told them once they saw how much they were getting bodied by another strong gang. ‘They’re definitely picking the right people to provoke’ you thought as you watched Baji blow a fuse and take down at least 5 men in one second.

“I knew it, he was watching me. His gang also responds quickly.” You observed the fight going on in front of you, both your boyfriend and Mikey itching to join, but were both stationed near you, who were they to defy the team’s strategies which was the reason why they managed to defeat twice the number of gangs who wronged them.

“I think it’s fine now, Inui, Mikey, I'm gonna need you two to do way more.” You watched as they both smiled, cruelly that is. Both being held back from doing the things they enjoyed, they’re most certainly fired up now.

“Ah, Don’t go hiding now, I'm still not letting you play video games for another 3 hours.” Inupi had spoken, taking your gameboy from his pocket to somewhere he knew you couldn’t get.

“That wasn’t the deal…” You sulkily murmured, leaning down on the ground as you watched both of them get ready to join the fight.

“You made both of us wait, And for what? Because we made you focus on planning and not the level you had already beaten? Come on now bubs that’s more unfair”

Sapnap Headcannons

__________________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐

Intro

Hello I am Cam / Bri ( @camerathebean​ ) and welcome!

This is a SFW tickle rp blog, please don’t interact if you are associated with the NSFW / Kink side of the community besides that anyone is welcome!

__________________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐

Headcannons + AU Headcannons

For the normal headcannons Sapnap is a blaze hybrid that was born in the nether but doesn’t remember his parents. One day he just woke up as a kid in lava and when he finally got out of it he found a nether portal and entered it.

He is a lee-leaning switch with about 40% ler and 60% lee 

__________________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐

General 

When he is angry his body sets on fire like a normal blaze would, he can’t control his fire abilities very well when he is overly angry. It’s his body’s natural instinct to just be on fire and attack but he obviously holds off the urge to fire fireballs at whoever he is upset with.

Has blaze rods that he can make appear whenever he wants them too. They hover around his torso and circle around his body, they are pretty much like an extra set of hands. He has full control over them and if he wants they can leave his area and go fly off somewhere else. The only time he can’t make his rods disappear is when he is being tickled.

Obviously he is immune to both fire and lava, they can not do any damage to him. To counter this though water isn’t the greatest when mixed with him. It doesn’t hurt him in the slightest but it can definitely make him tired for example if he takes a shower or goes swimming he will get tired out pretty quickly. In small amounts though it tickles him.

Bad adopted him once he entered the overworked since he was the only suitable person to be taking care of a blaze hybrid. He raised Sapnap through his whole life and Sapnap sees Bad as a parental figure 100% even if he calls him by his name and likes to mess with him a lot he would never take things too far. 

Sapnap can levitate, this comes from the blaze half in him while he can’t completely fly like normal blaze he can make himself levitate. Has full control over this unless he is being tickled.

His rods are the definition of true switches, depending on Sapnap’s mood they will either work with him or against him. If he is in a ler mood they will most definitely help with holding down a lee or tickling them. If he is in a lee mood however, they will do very minimum to help him out, only if he really wants to fight back. Otherwise, they are the ones exposing him. They will help hold him down and if Sapnap is having a hard time admitting he is lee they will casually reveal his stomach and sides to whoever is nearby.

He has somewhat control over fire, again coming from his blaze half. He can summon and throw fire if he puts his mind to it.

__________________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐

Ler Headcannons

Sapnap definitely uses his blaze rods to help pin down the lee while also using the extra rods to help him with tickling. Doesn’t always use them though and just goes with the usual average two hands approach if he doesn’t feel like summoning his rods. 

Is definitely a playful ler. Almost all of his actions and teases have a playful tone to it. He can barely take himself serious half the time so he doesn’t expect other’s to either. This does help when he is threatening tickles though no one knows if he is being serious or provoking so it can catch them off guard.

Will take any opportunity to tickle someone, even if it’s small he will take it. A small bit of provoking or just messing with him? He will skitter his fingers at your sides. He is the type if you are reaching for something he will definitely take the opportunity to tickle you since you wouldn’t expect it. 

Also likes giving playful soft tickles especially to Karl and Quackity. Whenever they are cuddling he will happily tickle his partners because they are just so adorable to him.

__________________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐

Lee Headcannons

He is one who can rarely admit he is in a lee mood, learning more to the provoking side especially with his playful nature. It works majority of the time at least so he sticks with this tactic. Though if he is in a really bad lee mood he may ask his partners or Dream and George if it’s that bad.

Purposely will make bets on things he knows he will lose so that he can be tickled. He is very competitive but sometimes the lee mood just takes over. Examples of this are if he bets Punz or Foolish over games of Val or Overwatch.

Giggles very easily, waaaaay before any tickling begins. He is just very easily flustered with anything tk related. 

When being tickled he will sometimes just start levitating on accident. He can normally control this but it just naturally happens when he is losing his shit while being wrecked. He can’t help that all of a sudden he’s floating up.

Raspberries are one of his favorite things, don’t tell anyone though. They make him extremely flustered but they also make him extremely warm and happy.

__________________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐

Tickle Spots

100/10 - Blaze rods: While he will often use them as a tickle tool they also are the most sensitive thing on his body. He doesn’t know why but they are just extremely ticklish, normally when they are out he refuses to touch water. The reasoning being when they interact with water it leaves an intense ticklish feeling. He will get flustered if you tickle his rods because they pretty much openly expose he is in a lee mood.

10/10 - Belly button: It is a death spot for sure, a good replacement for his worst spot if his rods aren’t around. Just dipping into the button and scratching around makes him a mess. God help him if you raspberry him there. Absolutely flustering spot for him.

9/10 - Stomach: Not as ticklish as his belly button but still pretty bad. Raspberries make him all flustered especially with this spot. He will try and hide his face and his laughter will be very loud here. Even just normal tickling here will make him snort.

8/10 - Underarms: Not extremely bad but definitely a bad spot at the same time. Will try and hide the spot, slamming his arms to his side the minute you even try and tickle here. ( if you need help though his rods will gladly make his arms move up into a T form. )

8/10 - Sides: Not as bad as his underarms but it’s still bad. He will become really squirmy with this spot it’s just a squirmy spot for him. Scribbling and skittering fingers really get to him here it’s unfortunate for him. 

7/10 - Ribs: His ribs are especially bad with kneading or counting. He will simply perish from both of these methods and there will be no return for Sapnap.

6/10 - Hips: A giggle spot, you need him to just be an absolute mess of giggles and nothing else? Definitely go here then!

A guide to the 02 kids’ personalities and overall demeanors

I’ve already covered the deeper details of each 02 kid’s character arc and development throughout the series, but I figured I might dedicate a more specific post about the complexities of their outer personalities, and their behavior patterns on a day-to-day basis. 02 is the kind of series that doesn’t really spell out what the characters tend to do or don’t tend to do, or what boundaries they will and won’t cross, which means it can be a bit of a challenging task to track their behavior over fifty episodes and figure out the patterns. Fortunately, these characters are written remarkably consistently over said episodes, so we have a lot to work with!

Disclaimer before we continue: In general, all of my 02-based meta is specifically written for the Japanese version in mind, but this especially applies to this one, because the majority of the nuances of the demeanor and personality traits described below were not retained in the American English dub at all (please see this post for more detail). As a result, please understand that if you’re working from the perspective of having only seen that dub, and the contents of the below post sound completely different, that would be why.

Daisuke and V-mon

Believe it or not, I would say that Daisuke is actually the most difficult to nail the nuances of out of this entire cast. This is probably a really weird thing to hear when the usual fandom mantra is that he’s “flat” or “lacking in development”, but I think the deceptive part is that while he’s simple-minded and himself doesn’t think in complex terms, analyzing his behavior as a whole and how he approaches things actually involves a lot of very delicate balances, and getting that exactly right can be very easy to mess up. Daisuke’s not a rude jerk who looks down on anyone, not in the slightest -- but he’s also not a saint who can do no wrong, either!

I think the easiest analogy (which I’ve brought up several times on this blog already) is that Daisuke is like a puppy, but not just any puppy -- a tiny puppy that barks very loudly at anything it perceives as threatening (regardless of whether it’s actually threatening), makes its feelings very clear with obvious likes and dislikes, and can do some phenomenally stupid things in a bid to please others, but in the end means no malice and only wants you to be happy.

This is to the point where I’m just going to have to bullet-point this, because there’s so much going on at once:

Excessively emotional: One of Daisuke’s earliest profiles refers to him as having “an excessively large range of human emotions”, and really, a lot of the humor surrounding him has to do with the fact he has incredibly dramatic, overblown reactions to nearly everything around him. So if he gets a little annoyed or suspicious of people making fun of him, he tends to get really dramatic about being upset, and when he experiences only a minor setback, he acts like it’s the end of the world, and when he’s emotionally hurt, he sometimes even gets set on the verge of crying (you can especially hear this in Kiuchi Reiko’s delivery). Even Daisuke himself doesn’t tend to get caught up in it for too long and gets over things surprisingly quickly, so you can take it as him just constantly being too wrapped up in the mood -- but when it really is a serious situation, he gets truly emotionally invested in it, too.

Too easy to read: Because Daisuke wears his heart on his sleeve and is dramatic about everything, he’s awful at hiding anything. Any attempt at trickery or trying to disguise his intentions quickly blows up in his face because he’s too simple-minded and too transparent.

Not malicious: Daisuke only ever lashes out or gets angry at others when he thinks others are doing something he disapproves of, or when he thinks he’s being attacked; he’s very warm and kind to everyone otherwise (even in the earliest parts of the series, when he’s at his roughest, you might notice he’s very soft around Chibimon, as if understanding that his partner is now in a very small and delicate form and needs to be treated accordingly). In other words, Daisuke is very quick to get defensive, but he has no malice or reason to be condescending towards anyone otherwise, and he’s perfectly friendly with people even when they’d provoked him earlier (because he doesn’t really hold grudges). He doesn’t attack people without reason; even when he voices dissent against what someone is doing, he very rarely, if ever, insults a person or their character directly. Even when he’s trying to state his opinions (such as when he bids for the others to accept Ken), he never forces them down others’ throats and accepts that they disagree with him, even if he’s clearly not happy with their disagreement.

Easily critical and suspicious: Daisuke is a very bluntly straightforward and honest person, and he seems to get most set off by people who act suspicious; note how his early-series outbursts towards Takeru tend to be when Takeru’s acting evasive, and in Hurricane Touchdown, he catches onto Wallace’s shady behavior even before he starts flirting with Miyako (Daisuke’s own method of trying to seem attractive to others involves just “doing something cool and hoping it’ll impress others”, so he seems to dislike the concept of flirting as a whole). Because of that, he catches easily onto “things looking off”, so he tends to call it out (even if sometimes he’s overdoing it and there isn’t actually anything significant to be upset about).

Supportive and adoring of others: Other than the moments when he gets set off, fundamentally speaking, Daisuke likes other people, is perfectly willing to acknowledge them or heap praise on them when they do something awesome, and generally cares for their well-being. He’s easily defers to others when he understands they’re better than him at something, and he even has a decently realistic scope of his limits (see how he’s perfectly aware he’s likely to lose the soccer game in 02 episode 8, and figures he might as well enjoy the experience). This is even taken to its logical conclusion in the Kizuna drama CD when he “credits” his friends for giving him amazing and insightful advice when all of it was actually pretty ordinary stuff they’d done offhandedly. It also means that, given his penchant for getting emotionally invested in everything, he has a huge emotional stake in making sure his friends are doing okay, and supports them accordingly.

Deferential to seniors/elders: Tying into the above, you may notice that Daisuke takes a properly respectful and soft tone towards his elders and seniors in nearly all occasions, even to the point of occasionally using proper polite-form language around them. All things considered, Daisuke is a pretty well-behaved kid.

Constantly getting strung around: As much as Daisuke looks like he’s aggressive, in actuality, it’s very easy to get him to back down if you argue against him strongly enough, and since he has such a “the heck is that?!” attitude all of the time, you can see him constantly getting strung around and at the mercy of things happening around him. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have enough will to put his foot down when it becomes a really important subject (especially in the second half of the series), but it’s very often when he’ll be talked down by others around him and shrink with an “oh...okay...” In fact, this is why a lot of his actions aren’t nearly as reckless as they might be otherwise; as much as he’s a bit hot-headed and likes to lead the attack, he also has a sense of self-preservation and intimidation when things look a bit too dangerous, and will only push forward in such a case when there’s something he really believes in at the other side of it.

Lacking in self-awareness and insecure as a result: While Daisuke doesn’t have any signs of persistent self-hatred (on the contrary, there are times he arguably comes off as overconfident), it also seems that he has practically zero awareness of how he himself is doing -- which means that he ends up rolling over like an idiot trying to get others’ approval and trying to impress them, even when it’d be clear to anyone else that he already has that approval. This also likely ties into the fact that he’s perfectly capable of acknowledging others’ accomplishments and skills (see above), so you might even think that the problem isn’t so much that he thinks he’s bad as much as he keeps comparing himself to people he perceives as being that much more awesome. (Perhaps symbolic of this, he apparently has a complex over being shorter than Takeru and Ken, despite the fact that he seems to be of perfectly average height for a kid his age.) It seems that his only bar for how he’s doing is dependent on everyone’s reactions around him, hence why his ridiculous antics are significantly less pronounced when he has proper emotional support and friends to keep him in check. It’s also important to consider that this applies to his apparent crush on Hikari as well; his crush mainly manifests in wanting her approval very badly, and it’s mostly visible in terms of him losing a ton of brain cells in her presence and bending over backwards to please her or impress her. He never actually says in words that he’s interested in her, nor does he ever show signs of intending to seriously ask her out, so it’s something that’s only apparent because of this behavior, and it’s very likely he hasn’t even seriously thought through what would happen if she actually accepted him in return. You can basically see this as an extreme version of the way Daisuke tries to get approval from everyone else, and this trait of his noticeably dies down whenever there’s more important things at hand, or when he seems to be in the midst of getting proper validation from those around him.

Simple-minded and pragmatic: What’s usually referred to as Daisuke being an “idiot” comes from the fact he doesn’t play well with complex thinking, tends to settle for very simple explanations or answers, and more thoughtful types like Ken or Iori will often have to fill that part in for him. However, because Daisuke is so simple-minded, he’s sometimes the most pragmatic person in the group, because he doesn’t overthink things or get principles of theory caught up into everything. So if Ken is clearly not showing any indication of doing bad things anymore and is actively working to help, Daisuke believes he should be allowed to help regardless of what he’d done in the past, and if they’re dealing with the situation of potentially having to kill a living enemy, Daisuke points out that hesitation would have resulted in even more casualties. In essence, in a situation where everyone’s running mental loop-de-loops, Daisuke will usually be the first one to snap them all out of it and go “uh? Guys?” Moreover, this trait of his makes him very good at spotting glaring threads or asking questions about the elephant in the room, because since he works best with things that are right in front of him, he can’t not notice it.

Enjoys the little things: Because Daisuke is so simple-minded, it’s very easy to please him (this is why his chosen career path is something as simple as ramen making). Daisuke likes his friends, and appreciates even simple things around him, so he’s happy with even simple pieces of happiness -- hence, why he’s fine with potentially losing the soccer game in 02 episode 8, because he’s ready to simply just savor the experience of getting to play against a respectable and formidable opponent.

Note that the main reason Daisuke never seems to bring up any of these issues with himself within the series proper is simply that he doesn’t seem to be aware of them -- he’s too simple-minded to understand what’s going on with his own behavior in depth, and hence, this is how he can say he’s not worried about too much by the time of 02′s finale, especially since by that point he has a proper support group that’s already helping him deal with most of his issues anyway.

Daisuke also has the roughest speech pattern out of any of the 02 group (similar to Taichi and Yamato in Adventure); he has a tendency to shorten words a lot and use “rough” variants of words (for example “-nee” instead of “-nai”).

Mischievous, friendly, and playful, V-mon is pointed out even by official sources to be much like his partner (far more so than usual), and it’s likely a byproduct of the fact that Daisuke himself is very honest and straightforward about his emotions and thoughts, and so since he has nothing to hide, V-mon is pretty much exactly like him -- with the major difference being that he’s a little more outwardly friendly and less likely to lash out angrily. So he’s effectively Daisuke without that very thin abrasive exterior, and because both of them are so like-minded and friendly, they get along extremely well (albeit with quite a bit of comfortable bantering on the way there).

Ken and Wormmon

Ken is the more intellectual type that Daisuke isn’t, and even after his stint as the Kaiser, it’s clear that he’s still quite studious and naturally interested in studying things. Looking closely at his style of dress and way of carrying himself (note how he lays down his chopsticks in 02 episode 36) indicates he’s also a rather tidy person in general. Being someone who’s capable of thinking things thoroughly, this makes him able to have a lot of deep insight into both intellectual and emotional issues, but because he takes things too seriously sometimes, he can sometimes come off as a bit overly stickler or insistent (note Daisuke and Ken’s Shopping Carol, where he subjects Daisuke to a long-winded lecture about the history of Christmas, because, really, he’s a nerd), or lead himself down the wrong direction when he’s having a hard time being straightforward (such as when he comes up with some very flimsy theories about why Jogress might be dangerous in 02 episode 28).

In fact, Ken’s disposition could be considered to be the opposite of Daisuke’s in many ways; while Ken is much softer and more conciliatory on the surface, he’s actually much more assertive and strong-willed by default, and it’s made clear that, even after his reformation from the Kaiser persona, he could still be vicious if he wanted to, he just doesn’t enjoy it because he doesn’t like it and it goes against his belief system (note that he even offered to "dirty his own hands" in lieu of the other kids if push came to shove and Archnemon had to be killed in 02 episode 29, even though he clearly wasn't enthusiastic about the idea). In fact, he has a very strong sense of responsibility and believes heavily in making up for what he’s done -- recall that 02 episodes 26 and 49 involved snapping him out of it by reminding him that there were things that needed to be done, and that he himself still had many things he wanted to do that wouldn’t be addressed if he’d stayed fixated on his past. Thus, Ken doesn’t deny nor avoid anything he’d done, and he isn’t even all that prone to self-pity -- it’s just that his tendency to put too much responsibility on himself means that he also takes a while to accept everyone’s support, too, because he doesn’t like the idea of putting burdens on others.

Because Ken is actually one of the more straightforward people in this group and a fairly honest person (at least, as long as he’s not lying to himself), he might hold himself back a little bit in order to not be rude, but he doesn’t do it nearly to the same degree Takeru or Hikari would and is much more willing to speak his mind when he has an opinion he wants to voice or needs to sort out his thoughts on something. Conversely, he’s not nearly as cold as Iori can get when criticizing things (he’ll certainly be firm, but not as incisive). Most post-02 materials also indicate that he’s not above being a tease or even a little mischievous (see Armor Evolution to the Unknown, Diablomon Strikes Back, Daisuke and Ken’s Shopping Carol).

Ken uses a speech pattern that’s slightly more casual than Takeru’s, but not nearly as rough as Daisuke’s. While anime will often have speech patterns substantially change between different personas of a character, other than Park Romi’s delivery of a more condescending tone for the Kaiser and a significantly softer one for Ken, nothing about his speech pattern is substantially different between the two personas (not even the first-person pronoun), indicating that, in the end, they’re really the same person after all, just manifesting the same personality traits in different ways.

Wormmon is affectionate and clingy, unfailingly loyal to Ken, and his biggest advocate during a time when Ken is trying to relearn how to love and accept himself -- meaning that he ends up very important to providing Ken the initial support he needed before Ken allowed other friends into his life. Wormmon isn’t all nothing but clinginess, though -- he has some insight about the weight of his experiences when prompted (02 episode 46), and in fact is more than capable of calling out Ken’s behavior when he’s being unreasonable or throwing himself into denial (see 02 episodes 27, 30, and 49).

Miyako and Hawkmon

Miyako approaches everything she likes with an attitude that makes her come off as constantly having bubbles and hearts around her. When she likes something, she says so. When she doesn’t like something, she says so (and she will go off when she’s on a roll; see 02 episode 14). In fact, part of the reason she so infamously voices her opinion on people being cute is, quite simply, that it’s her honest opinion. (Note that she never actually tries to ask them out or anything -- she just wants to make it very clear that they’re attractive.)

For the most part, she adores the people around her, and, like the others in the 02 group, she’s perfectly respectful towards elders.  She also loves poking her nose in others’ business and trying to be as helpful as possible, which is good in that she ends up being a huge help to others, but also not good in that sometimes she overdoes it a bit (when Hikari calls her out for being a “handful” in 02 episode 31, the word she uses is one that literally means "a little too overly involved in others' business").

Miyako is the one who gets everyone up in high spirits by being cheerful, and whose cheer rubs off on everyone else around her (see her cheerfully leading the charge into the Digital World with her “Digital Gate, open! Chosen Children, let’s roll!” catchphrase). This is something the rest of the group catches onto very quickly, asking her to supply the “usual cheer”, and the later episodes of the series especially drive home the fact that her presence and antics bring happiness to those around her.

Miyako has a similar “chaotic, sloppy, and straightforward” demeanor to Daisuke, but there are some key differences. Unlike Daisuke, who’s bluntly honest about his opinions mainly because he doesn’t really hide things in general, Miyako’s opinions will be out of her mouth before she can control it. In other words, she has a nasty case of foot-in-mouth syndrome. In addition, while Daisuke tends to have a very thin skin and lashes out defensively out of instinct, Miyako takes things much more at face value and doesn’t blow a fuse nearly as easily, but because she’s significantly more assertive and aggressive, she’s much more prone to doing what she wants on her own whims instead of backing down to anyone. In fact, Miyako is significantly more emotionally sensitive in the long run, so while Daisuke tends to blow a fuse more easily, he’s also able to shrug it off and move on more quickly, whereas Miyako has a thicker skin, but when she does take emotional pain, she takes it much more deeply and harshly. She also tends to get overwhelmed easily by stress and panic, which makes her one of the more prone to running around in circles and doing frantic things in the midst of it.

One thing you might notice about Miyako is that she’s actually more critical of herself than anyone else in the group is; most of the time they act with mild exasperation at her antics but don’t tend to criticize her directly, whereas Miyako is very aware of her own shortcomings and is constantly either criticizing herself or comparing herself negatively to others (see: 02 episodes 10, 14, 18, and 31 especially). If she slips up and does something that stepped on someone else’s toes, it doesn’t take her long to realize that she’s messed up and want to do better. So while she generally tends to act the most in-your-face and aggressive, she also doesn’t necessarily want to be this way, and suffers from self-confidence issues and a poor opinion of herself.

Miyako uses a feminine speech pattern that’s a bit more casual than Hikari’s (she noticeably is willing to use the word anta for “you”, which has a bit of a connotation of being abrupt and in-your-face, especially with Daisuke). She’s also the most likely to physically manhandle things, both in the affectionate (hugging people) and aggressive (grabbing things and jumping on them in order to attack) senses.

Hawkmon is repeatedly referred to as being like Miyako’s “knight”, since he has absolute loyalty to her (in spite of her ridiculous antics often meaning he gets strung around by her) and is effectively in charge of minding her so she doesn’t get too out of control. While his overly polite and gentlemanly demeanor initially seems like a sharp contrast to Miyako’s aggressive and messy personality, you might also notice that, at their cores, the two aren’t all that different -- both are unfailingly loyal to others, and both also have a penchant for dramatic theatrics and being a bit overly proud of themselves.

Iori and Armadimon

The key thing to know about Iori is that he’s not stoic because he’s not feeling fervent emotions, but rather because he’s constantly holding them back (this is especially apparent if you look carefully at his facial expressions and Urawa Megumi’s delivery, where you can tell his facade is often “slipping” even when his words would indicate otherwise). Since Iori is trying to live by the ideal of being a model citizen, especially under the very formal environment he was raised in, he comes off as mature for his age, but it’s very important to not forget that, underneath all that, he’s still an impressionable nine-year-old child with the wide range of emotions and immaturity of one, and when he does emotionally fall apart, everything tends to burst out (see 02 episodes 16, 44, 47, 50). In addition, Iori is never condescending about the fact he usually acts more mature than the others; the impression is that he’s much more strict with himself than he is with others, and in fact still does look up to his elders in the 02 group even when they’re obviously a lot messier than he is.

The “need to be a model citizen” is something looming over Iori’s head at almost every moment, and it’s the easiest way to understand the way he acts in a nutshell. Iori is focused on the idea of “becoming a proper adult”, which means that he’s adhering to all of these principles because he feels they’re necessary to live a proper and honest life as per the formal manners that his family background trained him into. But like a young child who insists “you have to do this because those are the rules!” all of the time, Iori is over-applying all of this, and even his own grandfather advises him that he really needs to chill (02 episodes 5, 24). In short, he struggles with thinking flexibly and understanding that life isn’t all that clear-cut, because he’s a young child. Since he also tends to bring out these things in relation to “what my father would do/say”, it’s implied that he’s basing all of this off of having only hearsay to work off of in regards to what his father was actually like, to the point of aspiring to an impossible, saintlike version of him he’d created in his head.

Note that Iori’s “rules” have less to do with institutional rules (that would be more of a Jou thing) and more to do with self-imposed personal rules; for instance, he doesn’t mind sneaking into school during a holiday when it’s obviously not hurting anyone (02 episode 6), but he struggles with things like wasting food (02 episode 3) or not formally introducing himself to an elder (02 episode 5). So in other words, his adherence to principles has heavily to do with “the right and proper way to live” more than anything, and what he believes is the right thing to do in a given situation.

Iori’s journey in 02 is largely fueled by the fact that, as an inheritor of sorts of the Crest of Knowledge, he has a sense of “I want to know and understand more” whenever he sees something that makes him curious, but unlike Koushirou’s desire to learn more about the world around him in terms of its technical workings, Iori mainly wants to know more about people. The reason he begins to let go of his inflexible mindset is that he has the humility to understand that he still has a lot more to learn and understand, and when he sees behavior from others that doesn’t make sense, he does his best to learn more about it -- hence how his aggressive probing into learning more about Takeru allows them to reach an understanding and eventual Jogress, and how he’s able to eventually reassess his own view of human morality and emotions.

Iori sticks out in that he almost always uses the formal variant of Japanese in most situations (nobody else in the 02 group does this). However, formal in this situation doesn’t necessarily mean polite; Iori doesn’t believe in flattery and will bluntly state his opinion in said formal tone, and will be very cold towards something he sufficiently disapproves of or doesn’t have any respect for, which can make him even come off as passive-aggressive at times. (Noticeably, while he still asserts his own opinion, he does refrain from criticizing the others in the 02 group too much, presumably because he respects and looks up to them a lot as his elders, regardless of how chaotic they can sometimes get.) In addition, because a lot of his demeanor comes from him restraining himself, when his emotions are sufficiently pushed over the edge, he loses grip on the polite form and starts “lapsing” back into the casual one.

Because Iori was so young during 02, and because the events of its story ended up really upending his view of the world, the huge eight-year gap between 02 and Kizuna makes it difficult to predict certain things about his demeanor at the time of Kizuna (especially since his own voice actor commented on the difficulty of conveying the nuances of Iori’s character, thanks to only being able to work with the limited time frame of a movie that doesn’t put him in the kinds of emotionally drastic situations that push him to his limit). That said, everything we’ve seen of him in the movie itself and the drama CD makes reasonable sense; now that he’s much older, he comes off as having much better restraint on his emotions and coming off as genuinely calm, but he’s still not one for flattery, and you can still see very minor slips in his facade every so often.

Armadimon also initially seems like a sharp contrast to Iori in terms of demeanor, in that he’s much more casual and laid-back, and he’s indeed a huge factor in reminding Iori to chill once in a while -- but, much like Iori, he prods and asks questions about anything he’s curious about. This initially seems to be out of simple-mindedness because, being a Digimon, he doesn’t understand human society that well, but his very basic questions often end up snapping Iori back to reality in realizing that he’s getting hung up on things that don’t actually make practical sense. Urawa also felt that Armadimon fills in some of the void that Iori’s late father left behind, in that he provides Iori with unconditional love and helps guide him.

Takeru and Patamon

Takeru is the kind of person who seems to dislike major disruptions to the status quo, so he doesn’t say anything inflammatory that’ll rock the boat. It’s very difficult to get him to talk about serious topics related to his deeper personal feelings (02 episode 17, 35, Spring 2003), and even when it’s clear he might have more misgivings on the situation, unless it’s an urgent situation where it needs to be brought up, he won’t voice his misgivings too clearly for the sake of not causing trouble (hence why Daisuke is so unsure what to make of him in the early episodes of the series, because Takeru constantly fails to clarify his own position in favor of a “good for you” or “sure, you keep believing that if you want” attitude). This also makes him the most likely to awkwardly change the subject or try to distract with small talk, and it means that, even when he’s saying cheerful, pleasant things, it’s very likely there’s pain or uncertainty under that initial facade. (Note that while his suspicions of Ken during 02 episodes 25 and 27 aren't nearly as vicious as Iori's turn out to be, we learn that he's still willing to quietly accuse Ken of working for his own self-satisfaction in the latter episode, but he never brings this up to anyone but himself.)

Because Takeru isn’t  necessarily doing this to be consciously dishonest, it does mean that he also has positive applications of this tendency to take everything in stride and keep the peace, because he ends up keeping the more extreme personalities in the rest of the group in line and acts as an effective mediator. You could say that he has a pretty high amount of tolerance and a capacity for taking everyone’s points of view in mind. However, since it’s also very difficult to tell what he himself is thinking, his use of this as a poor coping mechanism for his personal trauma leads to a tendency for him to suddenly explode in a mess of emotions whenever something gets too personal, leading to sudden conflict, and with others at a loss in terms of how to deal with him (the most extreme example being 02 episode 19, but also present in 13, 11, and 34). This “two-sidedness” is why it ends up having to be the more consciously methodical Iori who steps up to try and understand him better as his Jogress partner.

Fortunately, Takeru shows signs of becoming more straightforward in the aftermath, although you can see that he still has a penchant for mild flattery and “trying to hold back for the sake of not being rude” all the way up to Kizuna (but, again, this can’t be said to necessarily be a bad thing when it means he has a valuable skill as a mediator).

Takeru has a fairly neutral speech pattern that comes off as casual but not too aggressive or assertive (not as absurdly polite as Iori’s, but slightly less assertive than Ken’s).

Patamon initially still seems to be “immature” in the same way he was in Adventure, which initially seems to widen the gap in personality between him and Takeru, but looking closer reveals that the differences aren’t as big as they seem; Patamon seems to have gained a capability for slyness and active trolling behind his playfulness (see 02 episode 7), not entirely like Takeru starting to use his evasiveness in a teasing-like manner. Moreover, Patamon does actually seem to have gained a bit of proper maturity in the meantime; see how he instructs the Baby Digimon on convenience store food in 02 episode 3, and in general seems much more willing to take independent action in ways he didn’t always in Adventure. Noticeably, Takeru’s difficulty with his own convoluted feelings means that he can’t even have a proper heart-to-heart with him about it on the situation (most glaring in 02 episode 34, where it’s implied that Takeru would rather leave Patamon to be happy right now instead of bothering him about it), especially because he’s clearly having difficulty even working it out with himself. However, despite their ostensible differences in mentality, Takeru and Patamon have no difficulty getting along at all in 02, and, other than Takeru pampering Patamon a bit, there isn’t all that strong of an impression of them being so mismatched -- perhaps because, in the end, they really aren’t all that different.

Hikari and Tailmon

Taichi stated in Adventure episode 48 that Hikari has a problem where she's so selfless and thinking of others that she'll never speak up about her own problems. Hikari states in 02 episode 31 that she compulsively cannot speak out about her own feelings even if she wanted to, to the point she’s jealous of Miyako for being able to be more open (even if it means being overkill at times). As a result: if Hikari’s talking about “the right thing to do”, or something for everyone’s sake, or something that’s relevant to other people and what’s best for them, she will be extremely vocal and quick to act, and she’s not above even chipping in with criticisms (see: 02 episodes 19, 32, 44). In fact, she’s fully capable of being playful or toying with others if she really wants to (see how she casually manipulates Daisuke into calling a lunch break for everyone in 02 episode 6).

The moment the issue at hand is about herself, though -- her own feelings or pain, or something that might hurt others’ feelings (hence the presumable reason she dodges Daisuke’s affections rather than proactively doing anything about it), or something that would put a burden on others for her own sake -- she completely clams up and refuses to do or say anything, and when bad things start happening to her, she resigns herself to her own fate and concludes she can’t do anything about it. Hence, why she takes such a defeatist attitude towards the Dark Ocean swallowing her up in 02 episodes 13 and 31, and why it’s such a big deal if she even so much as asks for help. 02 episode 31 indicates that Miyako reaching out to her is an important step in breaking her out of her shell, and the Kizuna drama CD -- which has Hikari assertively declare something she personally wants -- heavily implies further that Miyako was instrumental to this becoming possible.

Hikari is compassionate for others to the very end, expresses pity for BlackWarGreymon as early as 02 episode 31, and catches on quickly to Ken’s feelings on himself in 02 episode 37 (and even back when she’d been more skeptical about him in 02 episode 25, she never seemed to have real personal distaste against him as much as she still wanted to make sure he was trustworthy first). But although she’s one of the most compassionate in the group, she’s also one of the most assertive in the group. This leads to something that initially seems like a paradox: she’s actually more fervent about the need to fight than the more aggressive Miyako is. Miyako is, ultimately, emotionally caught up in everything and briefly falls apart at having killed LadyDevimon in 02 episode 44 (even despite knowing how horrible of a person she’d been), but Hikari is the one who points out that there would have been more victims if they hadn’t. 02 episodes 25 and 43 had made it abundantly clear that Hikari didn’t like it at all, but she states in 02 episode 37 repeatedly that they need to prevent there from being victims -- meaning that she values the importance of protecting all lives, including those who would be hurt in the process, and thus has some of the more resilient guts when it comes to the prospect of fighting to save others. Again, her hesitation only comes into play at its worst when it has to do with herself; working to save others is a no-brainer.

Hikari uses a casual feminine speech pattern that’s less in-your-face than Miyako’s, but she’s still a bit more casual than she was in Adventure, when she used the more polite watashi instead of atashi. Interestingly, Tailmon herself seems to have mirrored this as well, presumably because now that she’s had more time to recover from her miserable life under Vamdemon, she’s able to enjoy her life a bit more freely. This means that, while Tailmon is still the most mature and put-together of the Digimon partners in the 02 group, she sometimes acts a little more casual and playful in a similar way to Hikari, and while she has a certain degree of stuffy personal pride (see how she wasn’t very amused at how frivolously the other Digimon were playing around in 02 episode 3), she’s still open to enjoying herself a little more freely. Hikari, for her part, becomes surprisingly like-minded with her during those times -- see them in 02 episode 12 -- and, as stated earlier, it’s not like Hikari isn’t up for making tough decisions when they’re needed, either.

[tender-rosiey]

Hello there Rose! <3 I believe we haven’t interacted before, but please let me say that I love your works and am so happy that your requests are open😖💕

So, a while ago, we were discussing about this with Jade (Flowershop!AU with Kunikida), and I was wondering if you’d be willing to write some HCs for that😌

Thank you, and feel free to ignore if it doesn’t interest you haha <3

❥ Kunikida as a floweriest

ᴀ/ɴ: heya! I am glad my works are up to your liking <3 this was so cute pls! I love the idea; I really need more kunikida appreciation posts on this blog 🚶‍♀️💕

*gently holds him*

The king of everything istg

ANYWAYS

One of the most organized flower shops in the city of Yokohama

Known also for the multiple types of rare flowers that he has in his shop that hold really deep meanings

A very attractive, composed, and serious man with an aura that captivates the hearts of those who don’t already belong to someone

Too bad for them though, he already has someone in mind

The someone that everyday when they enter the shop the flowers are different in arrangement, color, and kind for their sake

Each one of them having a different meaning for that person while most of the time he has the flowers that represents welcoming (apparently it’s the poppy) on display for his costumers

But the moment you enter it’s different, and hey is that a red Chrysanthemum?

The someone who when he notices they have a bad day, he sends a bouquet of all the flowers that once made you smile and a secret one in the middle, hidden like his feelings, a truly breathtaking Alstroemeria waiting to be seen

You have been friends for a long time, slowly building a strong bond to which you both now trust each other blindly about anything

You always visit him to check up on him and he had told you before about that:

“Your visits make my day brighter, so don’t feel unwelcomed.”

That alone is a line that made you feel happy even for the slightest of moments

Everytime you compliment one of his flowers, his face seems to change into different shades of red

50 shades of red

You are complimenting his work and that alone means the world to him

While Kunikida is someone who likes to stick by a schedule or rather likes to be organized, he wouldn’t mind sneaking in a few moments so you can both talk in between

And GOD do you feel accomplished when he smiles in one of your conversations which by the way is pretty frequent (he can’t help himself around you)

Love is weird, and causes a lot of things

At least that’s what he says as an excuse for his fluttering heart

Now onto the confession losers because I am all in it for the romance

So we have already established you are friends and you visit his shop pretty frequent

What do you do when he one day asks you to meet him at the roof of his flower shop?

And then when you go there you find the roof decorated with all types of flowers that he talked about

All of them being unironically ones about love, appreciation and affection

He speaks no words as you proceed to remember the meaning of each one them

Just a hopeful look in his eyes and deeply in there is the feeling of being afraid of rejection, but he knows if it that does happen he will have to accept it

Carnations

Orchids

Alstroemerias

As well as many more

And the well known Rose in his hands that he approaches you with

“So is the feeling mutual or?”

What are the odds that he is met by an Ambrosia in your hands?

The Flowers’ Meanings

1 2 3

1. Red Chrysanthemums mean “I love you”, plain and simple.

2. Alstroemerias represent a strong bond with another person and support making it a great flower to give for someone who is going through a hard time.

3. White carnations suggest pure love and good luck, light red symbolizes admiration, while dark red represents deep love and affection.

4 5 6

4. Orchids represent love, beauty, refinement, thoughtfulness and mature charm.

5. Ambrosias represent mutual love.

6. Daisies represent innocence and hope.

“Closeness”- Bane x reader

A/N: I’m back you guys! Writing this was like a breath of fresh air and it got me back to writing.This was supposed to be short and sweet but it turned out long and fluffy. I mean I’m not mad about it and I hope you won’t either. 

Summary: Bane comes home after a long work day, his mind still caught up on something that happened during the day, so his significant other takes it upon themselves to cheer him up.

Word count: 2.4K

Tw: cockworming, nudity but it’s mostly fluffy 

Tag list: @mollybegger-blog​, @evelynshelby​, @br0ck-eddie​, @of-love-and-of-the-sea​, @shadow-of-wonder​, @innerpaperexpertcloud​, @fandom--0verdose​, @sopxhiea​, @fuseburner​, @ashesbelle​, @kind-wolf​ (let me know if you wanna be added or removed)

The bed creaked when Bane sat on it to remove his shoes. It was late at night and he had just gotten home while you were engrossed in the book you decided to read while waiting for him.  The scene was familiar for both of you as this happened almost every night: if he'd come home at a reasonable hour, he'd find you in bed with a book or watching tv so that you wouldn't fall asleep and could see him whenever he'd get home. You had learned not to approach him right away, as when he had had a bad day he would usually come home still worked up about it and was liable to snap. So you waited for him to give you some kind of signal, wondering what was going to be tonight.

It came in the form of a long sigh. The boots were discarded on the floor and the bones in his neck popped as he stretched it to relieve some tension. It caught your attention as it was an unusual sound to come from him. Anger and stress translated into restlessness and groans and while he manifested rage by being extremely calm and cold on the outside making him look scary and unpredictable, observing him now you deduced that that wasn't it. It was something else.

Closing the book, you kept a close eye on him. His stance didn't appear tense, on the contrary, his shoulders slouched. And if the sigh hadn't alarmed you enough, noticing this certainly did. Bane never slouched. His posture was always correct and proper, his back straight and chin up.

Something was definitely bothering him.

"Babe?" you quietly called him trying to test the waters. A grunt was all you got.

"Everything alright?" your voice a little stronger, your worry evident. He just lowered his head and held it in his hands and although he didn't say anything out loud, his body let you know everything you needed to. You crawled on the bed stopping behind him. Placing your hands on his shoulders, you gently started massaging the zone trying to make him relax.

"What's wrong?" you softly in his ear after he had lifted it from his hands.

"I had a bad day but I do not wish to talk about it." He slightly turned his head to you and his tone matched yours albeit it came out a bit harsh because of his mask, but you had learned to understand him by now.

"Alright." Leaving a small peck on the side of his neck, you moved to climb off the bed. Bane's hand reached out to yours to stop you from getting away as if to check in with you and make sure he hadn't offended you somehow. Holding his hand, you gesture that you'd only be a moment, letting him know that he was fine.

Both of you had always been adamant on sharing whatever was troubling you right away instead of keeping it all bottled up as you both agreed on it being a bad habit. It didn't always work as it's easier said than done and while Bane, true to himself, came in strong and usually ended up demanding you to speak, you tried to be more mindful of his needs. You knew firsthand that sometimes you don't have the right words to express what you're feeling or you're not in the right state of mind to talk about it, so you tried to keep it in mind when dealing with him.

What you found always worked with him was creating a safe zone where he felt comfortable enough to share whatever was on his mind. Due to his lifestyle, Bane doesn't let go easily. This meant that he did not trust easily but even once he had allowed you in, he still tended to keep everything to himself. At the beginning it was a problem, you didn't know each other that well and you took his reluctance to open up as a lack of trust from his part. Filling the tub and lighting some candles, you smiled fondly at the memory of his awkward attempt to explain and to reassure you that that wasn't the case. His eloquence oddly failing him when he had to talk about his feelings.

When the water had reached the desired level, you turned the tap off and poured your rose-scented soap that you knew he secretly loved.

"Babe, come here." You knew he was probably already looking at you, he had a problem with staring that you had already addressed before, but either way, he kept doing it and with time his eyes on you didn't make you tense or anxious but felt natural.

"I would have thought you had already taken your bath seeing as it's past midnight." He said once he saw what you had been up to, totally misreading the situation.

"This isn't for me," you cooed at him implying that it was for him but all he did was arching one of his eyebrows and look at you sceptically. So you took matter into your own hands and started unbuttoning his vest. With every garment that came off, a kiss was placed in its place.

"A hot bath will do you good." His stance previously so tense, grew looser as the items of clothing came off and your kisses and caresses were the only things he could feel. Trailing softly on his skin from his collarbone, one of your hands came to his and gently coaxed him towards the bathtub. It seems that whatever put him in this mood was so bad that Bane let you lead him where you wanted without making a fuss.

He lowered himself in the bathtub and as soon as the warm water hit his aching muscles a groan left his mouth. Happy that it worked, you watched as he shuffled to find a comfortable position to lay in and when he settled, you reached for the soft sponge you had already set out and gently rubbed it on his chest.

He opened one of his eyes at the new feeling, "I am no longer a child, I am capable of washing myself", he stated in his usual as-a-matter-of-fact tone but he didn't make a move to stop what you were doing.

"Close your eyes and relax," you replied without missing a beat. "You've had a bad day so I'm taking care of you. I know you're capable of doing it but I am also capable of washing and pampering you and so I'll do it." Sarcasm filled your voice - you were amused at his antics more than anything. You didn't stop your movements, scraping away the dirt with the sponge and then making sure to give more attention to all the spots you knew were bothering him; you take your time and make sure that every part of his body is taken care of. Soon enough you reached his legs and took your time in rubbing his feet. You could only imagine how sore they were after more than 24h of standing. You've never met someone as hardworking as Bane in your life, it was one of the things you admired in him but at the same time, after living with the man for a while, you realized with what personal sacrifice it came with. He was one of those men who put work first- not only above his personal life but also his health. You had tried countless of times to get him to find a healthier balance and if the walls of your home could speak, they'd tell of his stubbornness.

"It's late y/n, you should be in bed."

"Don't worry babe, I don't mind. I like taking care of you." You smiled at him before moving your attention on his other foot.

You knew he was deep into the narrative of "I'm the man, therefore, I'm the one who has to take care of you", however, you thought it was utter bullshit. Yes, you liked how careful and mindful of you he was. What you didn't like was him refusing to accept the fact that you wanted to take care of him too and that allowing you to wouldn't make him less of a man. It was just a way to show him that you loved him. And maybe he had finally got it too because he doesn't fight you anymore as much as he did in the beginning.

"Why don't you join me?" he asked after a while and when you opened your mouth to answer him he spoke again as if he already knew what you were going to say, "I'd like to hold you."

Sometimes, Bane had the ability to disarm you. To leave you completely clueless as to how to react to what he did, or in this case, said. Usually, it was with his eloquent way of speaking and his complex thought process that he would always leave you to marvel at him and at how lucky you were to be with him. Very rarely though, he'd say something so sweet, in a way so simple that a warm and fuzzy feeling took over your body and you were suddenly rendered speechless.

So, you usually gave up trying to give him a worded answer and resorted to action, quickly undressing so you could join him.

He was so big that he took up all the available space in the tub but before you could wonder where to sit, his hands steadily guided you until you were laying on him. As your arms circled his chest, your face buried in his neck and he guided your legs around his waist. You couldn't be closer than this and as his arms tightened around you, you figured it was exactly what he wanted. And as for you, you'd never turn down cuddling time.

"Sometimes, I find it hard to believe that you're mine." His voice cut through the quiet atmosphere of the bathroom, his mask stroking your shoulder where it was resting. There was something in his voice that gave you chills. Sensing that this statement hide something more serious underneath, you pushed yourself up and gently perched on his chest so that you could look into his eyes while speaking.

"I don't know what happened today, but whatever it is, it has nothing to do with how I feel about you. Nor could it ever change it." You reminded him while his face leaned on your hand that was stroking his cheek.

"Unless what you did today was cheating on me. That would definitely change things," you added to lighten the mood sure in your heart that he'd never do it. "But I'm sure that's not the case, is it?" It was more of a rhetorical question really but it was to lure him out of that bad space his mind was in at the moment.

"I would never do that to you." He confirmed and you smiled brightly at him. Words failed to express how much you loved this man, you hoped that your eyes were doing a better job.

"You are loved and you are worthy of it." You continued with a more serious tone.

"You are lovable and I do love you, Bane." You pecked the grate of his mask letting your words sink in before speaking again. "Do not listen to that nasty voice in your head that tells you otherwise. You are everything I need and even more that I could want. I am lucky to have you because you're special. You're brilliant, the brightest man I know, fiercely loyal, you're good at everything you do and you're so hardworking. Last but not least, you make me feel like the most special girl in the world."

"I am the lucky one." His fingers trailed lightly your back while he mirrored your smile. At least you figured as much by the way his eyes narrowed.

"Let's agree the universe smiled at both of us that day, hm?" Another peck was left on where his mouth was supposed to be and you went to your comfortable position on his chest when something poked your attention.

"I thought you were tired," you gasped in mock surprise when there was no doubt on what it was. And, as a matter of fact, Bane didn't even attempt to hide it. His hands simply moved to your lower back and pushed you to him to create some friction.

"I crave the closeness, nothing has to happen." Almost as if to shush you, one of his hands cradled your head and pushed it further into his neck while the other moved you up on his body so that you were perfectly aligned with him.

"Baby, there's no way we can get closer than this." But of course, he was already working on proving you wrong. And you understood you were once he slowly pushed into you and despite being skin to skin, only now you felt like you were one.

"I never would have guessed you liked cock warming," you pointed out after a while. Both of your fingers were caressing the other's skin at leisure. The water was still warm and the soft light from the candles only added to the already relaxed atmosphere. There was nowhere else you'd rather be right now. Not even your bed.

"I'll admit that I've never cared for the intimacy it offered before." Ugh, this man was definitely after your heart.

"I can see what you mean. I agree It's not something you can do with everyone." You ought to be comfortable enough with your partner to do something like this. Now, being comfortable with yourself was a challenge of its own for you, so for you to be naked on him while he could see and feel everything was a love confession alone. And Bane knew that it was why he had never asked to this before.

In your own way, both of you was saying something to the other just by laying there together. And being so in tune with the other, both of you were aware of it. With every caress and every second that passed, the only thing you could feel was your heart swell with gratitude for the human you held in your arms.

___________________

Starstruck. 

That’s how you had first felt when you had met Crypto. 

You were a new camera operator on the set of the Apex games, someone who got all the good angles and made sure the drone cameras could really catch all the action. You’d met him the same season he’d been introduced, noting how he’d been cold and disregarding, yet appeared confident in himself. But his eyes, they’d been so...paranoid. Especially when you approached to introduce yourself as one of the camera operators. 

He’d regarded you with a short, quick nod. Odd, you’d thought. But that had quickly vanished when Elliott had taken you aside and chatted you up, an arm slung around your shoulder and a grin on his face. “Hey, don’t mind the kid, probably still jet lagged, dropships, bein’ legends and all- anyway sooooo I hear you operate those cameras now, huh? Make sure you get all my good angles- not that any of them are bad, just, you know, keep that attention on the money maker you feel me? The money maker being me, of course-” 

~Rest under the cut~

“Mirage.” Crypto’s voice had cut in between you two, watching as you both had turned and you could note his irritated look at Elliott before a much more apologetic one was glanced your way. “Apologies. He does not understand personal boundaries-” 

Elliott feigns a dramatic gasp, cutting Crypto off with his free hand against his own chest as if wounded. 

You stifle your laugh when Elliott keeps up the act, sputtering before pointing at Crypto accusingly. “Woah, woah, woah, I’ll have you know that I know this lovely thing. Used to be the tech head up iiiiiiin- audio, right?” He turns towards you after that, squeezing his arm around your shoulders in a friendly way as you beam at being remembered. 

“That’s right! I was actually hoping to speak to you, Crypto,” You gesture at him, noting Crypto’s light surprise of raised eyebrows before confusion and worry passes his features. Quick to overthink, huh? 

You’re quick to follow up to ease his possible fears. “N-not! Not as an employee, I mean, I just- your, uh, your drone. They kinda remind me of an old camera used back in the day and I was wondering if you had any tips or tricks I might be able to pick up on?” 

That’s what started the relationship in the first place. Crypto, that day, had offered merely a one shouldered shrug, but after Mirage giving him a look and whining to him like a puppy, he’d agreed. Resulting in you having your own private session with him as he helped you learn a few tips. You were already trained in operating the newer models, but having a few pointers never hurt. 

The entire time he’d asked questions about you, it almost felt like he was interrogating you rather than trying to start up curious small talk. But, to ease any fears he might have had about you having ulterior motives, you answered as honestly as possible to each one. Judging by his more paranoid nature, you didn’t ask any in turn for fear of him shying away. 

The least you wanted to do was make Crypto feel as though you were untrustworthy. 

As you two grew closer, the more relaxed he became around you. No more tips were to be given, so that excuse flew out the window, so you’d offered hang outs. It took a few tries until he finally mumbled he’d feel more comfortable in his room, which is where you two ended up being and you learned he had a sweet little cat named Isabella-Marie. 

You had smiled at her name, asking where he got the idea from, and he’d smiled softly- almost sadly when he’d said she was his sister’s cat he took in, but no more information. Said cat took to you nicely, and just as she had, Crypto started warming up to you as well. 

It was a slow, slow process. You took your time with him and learned that the personality he put on was nothing but a front. Something to keep more hidden. In private, he’s so soft, almost shy in his approach to you. He’s still got his sarcastic tongue, but he’s more playful when in private with you. Much like a cat. You see him opening up the slightest bit to people he’s starting to enjoy too- Elliott and Natalie both seem to have won some sort of favor with him. 

That friendship slowly worked its way into romantic. 

The first time you kissed him is with your hand cupping his cheek and his cheeks flushed red as his dark eyes flickered to your lips multiple times until you took initiative. It took a bit of coaxing to even get him to rest his hands on your waist, but once that had happened, it’s like he’d been so touch starved all his life. Clinging to you and sighing into your mouth as if he’d just sunken into bed after a long day. 

His need for touch didn’t surprise you considering when you offered hugs and snuggles that he’d melt into you and cling to you so tightly. Your height difference, with you being much shorter, made that kind of funny when he’d lean down to bury his face in your neck and you’d stand on your tiptoes to make it easier. All within a private setting- outside of these rooms, you were both strictly professional. 

Crypto’s name had been revealed to you not long after. Tae Joon Park. You both agreed that if you used it frequently that you might yell it in public, so it was reserved for more intimate moments or serious when you two were alone. You were mindful about switching his name, so you kept to using ‘Crypto’ in your head to ensure you wouldn’t fuck it up. 

Though, it never failed to delight you in hearing him sigh fondly when you’d mumble his name by his ear after a sweet kiss. 

Dates were more reserved for the bedrooms as well. You never minded that either, but sometimes on rare occasions, he’d don a mask and a hood so you two could go out. You could only imagine the type of anxiety those outings brought, but it always warmed your heart that he was willing to take a breath and push himself out to do these things for you. In turn, you would spend the nights with him, with his head on your chest and his arms squeezing around your middle. 

Crypto, you quickly find however, is really bad at vocalizing his desires. 

He’s a man of action, hardly using his words and if he did it was one worded or quick. You’ve been trying to help him on communication skills for both your sakes, but it’s more difficult on him. It doesn’t help that he’s quiet either, so sneaking up behind you to snake his arms around you normally results in you jumping and making a squeak sound. 

But it also meant that for more...bedroom activities, that he would use actions. You always knew when he wanted something, you weren’t blind to it, you just wanted to make 100% sure of what he wanted. Normally resulting in you straddling his lap, a hand around his neck and speaking low for him to tell you what he wanted. 

Crypto always got the cutest face anytime you took the reins and control. A healthy flush over his cheeks, his breathing heavier and his eyes pleading, but his mouth refusing. 

 Stubborn was a good way to put it. How his eyebrows would furrow and he’d whimper and buck his hips up, but not tell you what he wanted. It took a lot of trial and error to even get him to utter ‘please’ at times. Your poor baby. 

You especially found you liked teasing him. Learning quick that he liked nicknames like ‘Good boy’ and ‘Baby boy’. You enjoyed edging him, tying him up or even just making him cling to the sheets or his own hair as his hips humped the air and he sobbed without begging for you. Always trying so hard to convey in his body language what he wanted you to do. 

You found yourself mesmerized by his desperation at a lot of times. Where Crypto’s kiss flushed lips would part, his eyebrows knitted and his eyes frantic on you. His own hands gripping his hair to follow instructions on not to touch you as his hips thrust into the air and made his thick cock bob. 

Sometimes you wondered if he could cum just by humping the air alone. 

Another time, you’d always tell yourself, always so eager to hear that final sobbed out word of ‘Please’ before you would swing your legs over him and ride him hard and fast. Normally fit with cruel croons about what a sweet, pathetic little thing he looked like. Your very good boy. 

That’s what you were thinking of now as you sat on the couch in his quarters, waiting for him to return from his match in the arena. 

Isabella-Marie is happily purring in your lap as your hand strokes through her soft, strawberry blonde fur. You’ve set up there with a blanket over your lap that she’s kneading happily, the match Crypto had been in having ended about an hour ago. You could tell he was struggling, too much talking around him that was reflecting in his steps. 

He’d been in a team with Mirage and Wattson, both people you knew he liked being around, but unfortunately, they kept striking up conversation. Leading to Crypto being off his rhythm. But it was nice to hear him breathe out in amusement at their antics sometimes, caught on the audio feed with the announcers crooning about how it looked like he made some friends finally. 

They at least made it to the top three. Fighting valiantly to maintain their location on World’s Edge in the city. Mirage had gotten cocky when they’d knocked two of the opposite team, going up to finish them off and ending up with a shotgun in the back and a cracking snarl in the sky of Bloodhound. 

The rest is history. But, at least you knew Bloodhound wouldn’t be the type to gloat and act cocky if they caught Crypto- at least out loud. You’re glad it was them rather than Caustic. Bad blood ran deep between them, not to mention Natalie struggling herself with it all. You were glad her and Crypto could solve whatever issue it was that ran between them- one that not even you were aware of. 

Security and secrecy, Crypto had told you with apology in his eyes. You understood, some things were best kept secret. Especially in case you accidentally got caught up in a mess, you could genuinely say you had no idea what was happening in all the legends’ lives. 

The beep of the door being unlocked makes Isabella-Marie awaken, doing a stretch across your lap before she chirps and hurries to the door to greet Crypto. She curls around his feet as he removes his shoes at the door before entering any further into the room in the rest of his gear. 

“Hello, sweetheart,” You hear him tiredly coo downwards, hearing Isabella-Marie's delighted chirp as she’s scooped up, quickly followed by her loud motor engine of a purr. 

You slide off the couch, dressed in your lounging outfit of soft black sweatpants covered with cliché little green alien heads and a loose gray sweater with a green Apex symbol over the right breast, the collar falling off your shoulders. Crypto looks worse for wear, his eyes are tired and he’s got dirt smudged on his cheek and smells heavy of sweat. Not that Isabella-Marie minds. Nor you. 

“Hey,” You greet him, a smile on your face as his eyes rest on you whilst his cat presses her cheek in insistent strokes against his chin, cradled in his arms. 

“Hey,” He murmurs back to you, adjusting Isabella-Marie in his arms when you reach for him. Despite his tired expression, his cheeks flush when he leans down and to the side for you to cup his cheeks and peck a kiss on his lips in greeting. 

“You need a shower. You go wash up and I’ll order dinner.” You tell him, offering your arms out for Isabella-Marie to be transferred to your arms in all her purring glory. “What were you thinking tonight?” 

“Mmh.” Is his only reply, leaning down to rest his cheek on the top of your head in a small nuzzle. Affectionate boy. You laugh a bit, gently nudging him with your hip as Isabella-Marie jumps out of your arms. Giving you time to hook your arms around his waist and shove your hands into his back pockets under his jacket to draw him close and make him blush. 

“Tae Jooooon,” You tease his name, enjoying how he hums low in his throat in response and turning his head to press his lips against the top of your head in a kiss. “We’ve talked about this. You can’t go your whole life being a one worded man.” 

“Mmh.” He responds again, this time with a smile that you feel. 

You shove at him playfully to shoo him off for the shower, calling out after his back when he goes dutifully towards the bathroom. “Fine! But if you don’t like what I picked because you didn’t give any options, I don’t wanna hear you complain!” 

Not that he ever did complain. If he was picky this would be a bigger concern. But thankfully you two seemed to be on the same page a lot of times, especially when it came to food. 

The food you order is Chinese takeout, getting here just in time for when Crypto emerges from his long shower looking a lot more awake and less grouchy. He’s dressed in his thick framed glasses, his normally slicked back hair nice and slick, some black sweatpants and a loose white crop-top, something you appreciate very greatly to be able to see his fit frame. 

Like a nerdy jock. 

You show your enjoyment when you wrap your arms around him from behind when he goes to look at what you got for dinner. Running your nails up his exposed beauty-marked, warm skin on his abdomen to feel him squirm and lean back against you with this flustered huff falling from his lips. 

Eventually you two make it to the couch where you have dinner and watch one of the K-dramas he liked to indulge in. Sometimes Crypto will pause it to explain a verbal pun that wasn’t caught via the subtitles for you, something that always makes you smile and appreciate when he takes the time to pause and explain for you. 

Though you’re sure he doesn’t appreciate when you wait for his most distracted point in time to steal a piece of his food and shove it in your mouth too quickly for him to stop you. Resulting in him poking at you until you squeal from being tickled and he can take a piece off your food in retaliation as you whine at him after. 

Domestic. That’s the best way you could describe yours and Crypto’s relationship. 

Home. 

After dinner is put away and teeth are brushed, you two settle back onto the couch. You curl up on the corner, Crypto following you to cuddle up to your side. His cheek rests against your shoulder, kind of tilting his body into you as you rest your arm behind him, your hand resting on his nape to slide up to pet at the shaved portion of his head. Another hum from him of appreciation, but not verbalizing his like of it. 

Crypto softly adjusts, but you take it as nothing more than him getting closer to you with the soft sound of the TV in front of you. You’ve got your phone in your lap to play a puzzle game while he watches his show, very much like a cat as he rubs his cheek against your shoulder affectionately. 

Another squirm, another adjustment is felt after a moment of him pressing his thigh to yours. You take it as him wanting to be closer, only sliding your fingers higher along his scalp to the coarse hair atop his head to lightly scratch at the root like he likes. 

You don’t notice his mouth starting to part, quickly cut off with the ringing of your phone and you groaning aloud. “Really? Right now?” Before you’re answering it with a polite ‘Hello?’ that makes Crypto snort at your tone change. 

He watches as you chat, watching your lips move and hearing you discuss footage and what your boss must have wanted you to edit or someone else. He’s not really paying attention when you’re still petting his hair. He tries to nudge closer to you, near flush with your side as his hand now rests on your thigh, hoping to catch your attention. You only offer him a quick smile before returning back to your conversation. 

After five minutes, it’s clear this isn’t going to be a short call either. 

A sigh is heard from Crypto before he’s leaning up to start pecking soft, brushing kisses on your neck. Your head tilts for him, only a light flutter of your lashes as you go ‘Mmhm yeah’ to whoever you are on the phone with. Your nails press lightly at his scalp, letting him know you feel him as his teeth lightly nip at your neck like you like. 

You’re damned good at keeping your composure verbally, and now Crypto’s beginning to wonder if you’ve ever done anything on the phone with him without his knowledge. Even the mental image of you spread out and touching yourself while on the phone near making him whine, something he swallows down. 

You clearly can feel him and see him. You offer a little smile when he peeks up at you, catching your gaze. Emboldened by you sparing even a little attention to him, his hand slides down to your wrist in hopes you’ll catch up to what he’s saying. Gently drawing it to his thigh and towards his inner thigh. And yet, you still chat on the phone, but now you’re squeezing and massaging his thigh, your pinkie lightly skimming over his crotch and making Crypto’s breath hitch against your shoulder. 

His brows are furrowed, looking ever so frustrated as you now purposefully lengthen the conversation out by bringing back a point from the last game played. Crypto’s head tips lightly up to you, his eyes pleading with you when your knuckles brush over the bulge in his sweatpants. 

Your eyes meet his and you quirk a brow with a light smirk on your face. Your eyes say enough for him, you’re sure, judging by how his face flushes and his brows furrow once again. You can see and feel how he squirms, realizing he’s not going to get anything until he uses his words. 

He’s stubborn. He’s always so stubborn. Squirming in his place and getting more frustrated as you keep chatting. Only after three minutes does he finally give in when he realizes this isn’t going to work and you’re only going to keep teasing him through his pants. 

“Please?” He all but whispers, his mouth felt quivering on your bare shoulder and his hot breath felt in a shaky exhale. “Please touch me, please?” 

You smirk. 

“Oh! Hey, boss, looks like I’ll have to chat with you tomorrow morning about that- uhuh, yeah, yeah, getting,” -You pause there to let out a feigned yawn- “Oof, yeah, getting real tired....uhuh, yeah, sounds good! Buh-bye.” Before you’re ending the call and practically pouncing on him. 

You end up in his lap, straddling him and cupping his cheeks, brushing some of his hair from his face before you lean in to kiss him. Crypto’s hands find your waist, hovering at first before gripping you when you lick into his mouth after biting his lip to make him gasp. 

You sit up higher to press him back into the couch, letting your hands slide into his hair for him to tip his head back when you pull at it. His moan is low and vibrates his chest when your tongue licks over his own, feeling his hips jerk lightly up and against your ass needily. 

“I like when you beg,” You breathe as you part from the kiss, moving the kisses down his jawline and towards his ear where you lightly nip. “Do it again for me?” 

“Nnh-” Is the only response he manages at first, his fingers shaking as they slide down to grip your hips when you start grinding across his lap. Back and forth to your own rhythm and feeling just how hard he is. Bless whoever made sweatpants. 

Crypto’s so cute when you pull back to look at him. Where his head is tipped back and to the side, his lips parted and letting out ragged breaths with each drag of your hips across his lap. How his brows knit together when you grind low and slow downwards to catch his attention and his mouth falls closed to hiss. 

But. He still wasn’t speaking. 

“Be a good boy and tell me what you want, hm?” You try to encourage him, letting your hands fall down to his exposed abdomen to slide your hands up and under his crop top. Slipping your hands over his chest to thumb at his sensitive nipples, gently pinching and rolling them. Crypto whimpers sharply, his head rolling to the opposite side and looking more stubborn by the second as he strains to come up with words. 

“I-I-” His voice comes out in a whine, framed by how his lips quiver and his blunt nails cling to your hips when you stop grinding to encourage him further. “I...I want your mouth. On- o-on my cock. Please?”  

“Awww, baby, when you look that cute? I’d do just about anything for you.” 

You move down his body, kissing your way down until you can slink in between his knees onto the floor. You waste no time in hooking your fingers under his sweatpants, your mouth watering as you follow his happy trail downwards as it gets more exposed. You tug them completely off with his underwear, watching his thick cock bounce with a satisfying bob and a drool of pre-cum from the flushed head peaking from foreskin. 

Crypto covers his face with his hands to hide his burning red flush that edges down to his chest when you hum at him approvingly. But, judging by how his cock throbs, you already know that as he likes being watched and praised without words. 

You take your sweet time kissing up his length and down his balls, letting your tongue run over the sensitive skin. Your hand holds the base, stroking downwards to pull back his foreskin, mouthing at the flushed head and letting your tongue slide against the slit in teasing dips until a whimper falls from his lips. 

You tease him like this for a good enough amount of time before you even take him into your mouth fully. Suckling and bobbing your head, your free hand holding his hip to squeeze to remind him to keep his hips down when he starts trying to hump upwards into your mouth. 

Anytime you feel how his cock jerks and you hear his breathing quicken; You stop. Pulling your mouth off to kiss at his hips and thighs instead. Squeezing on his legs soothingly and rubbing at his skin when Crypto whines and rolls his hips up with not a single word peeping from his lips. Even if now his arm is thrown over his forehead, able to see how he peeks open one eye to look down at you pleadingly. 

You smile up at him each time before you take him in again. Suckling, licking, your nails sliding down his thigh until your hand can cup his balls and lightly squeeze. And each time you feel him get close, you pull back. The same bite of pain of your nails on his skin, same edging, the same denial even as pre-cum spills from his cock and it mixes with your drool to connect you with a sliver that makes him near sob when he sees you. 

You know he liked it messy. Liked seeing the mess you could make. 

The mess you could make of him. 

You’re about to remind him that he needs to use his big boy words if he wants to get anywhere tonight. But, seems Crypto gets the memo when he starts pleading. 

“Let me cum inside you, please, please, please- please let me cum i-inside you, please, I’ll be good-”  His voice is breathy, a high whimper as his hips try to fuck up into the loose grip you have on his shaft. He just looks so pathetic for you right now. Just a teary, drooly, humpy mess. 

You like how desperate looks on him. 

“Mmmhhh, I dunno, baby,” You let your voice elongate your words, your breath fanning across his sensitive skin and causing his dick to jerk, lightly tapping your lower lip and making you smile. “You look awfully cute. Can’t you hold it a bit longer? C’mon, you can be my good boy and hold it, can’t you?” 

Each end of your questions is punctuated with a drag of your lips across his cock, letting him feel how you murmur across his reddened skin. 

Crypto sobs out again, his body jerking in sensitivity as both his hands come back up to hide his red face and teary eyes. His nod allows you to continue, continuing your teasing kisses and licks. Making sure to bite pain into his thighs to cause his mind to either associate the pain with pleasure or to back off his pleasure. Judging by the way he sobs out and twitches each time you scratch or bite him, you’re guessing it’s your prior guess. 

“Please, please, please-” Crypto starts to sob when you deny him again, his cock jerking heavily and spilling pre-cum on his lower abdomen. His hands have fallen to grip the couch as best as he can, his teary gaze looking down at you and his lips quivering with his shaky breaths. So cute. “Please, I-I cannot take it anymore, please, please let me cum in you, I want to cum in you-” 

You’ll give him credit. This is the most he’s ever spoken during sex, let alone been so clear in his needs and desires. Something you’ll praise him for later. For now, you smile up at him, wiping your mouth off on the back of your hand before standing to wriggle out of your lounge clothing.  

Crypto’s quick to help you, hooking fingers in your sweater to help you out of it. It’s fit with your laughter as you nearly fall on him, lots of giggling when his mouth presses a kiss to your abdomen when you get halfway stuck through your sweater and pants. “Tae Joon-” You laugh out his name when you feel him smile against your abdomen, “C’mon, lil help here?” 

Eventually you escape your clothing prison, able to set the mood again when your straddle his lap. You’re plenty wet enough, but you still take the time to tease him a bit more by reaching down to stretch yourself while hovering over his cock. You feel flustered as he watches you, sitting under you and looking up at you with such love in his eyes while you make soft sounds yourself. 

It takes a few tries to line up correctly, but soon you’re bouncing your hips on him with your fingers in his hair and your mouth on his neck. He always sounds so pretty the way he cries out, clinging to your hips at first before his arms wind around you to hug you to his trembling frame. You pepper kisses all over his face, cupping his cheeks adoringly as you rest your foreheads together. 

He cums rather quickly, clinging so hard to you as his hips frantically hump up against you. He ends up accidentally holding you still so he can thrust up into you, resulting in you clinging to him in turn with your lips parted and murmuring praise as he fucks you through his orgasm. He’s swearing in his mother tongue, something you can only catch bits and pieces of. 

When Crypto’s done cumming, one of his hands quickly goes down to between both your bodies to rub at your clit as you hump against his cock still lodged inside you. He finds your lips to capture when you whimper out his name when you begin to cum, your nails biting into his shoulders as he rubs you through it. 

By the time you’re both satisfied, you slump against his frame, burying your face into his neck as your sweaty bodies press together on the couch, still connected. 

When both of your breathing settles, he presses a kiss to the top of your head, nuzzling himself there as his hands slide up and down your sides. You smile softly, adjusting your hips a bit and laughing a bit when he grunts in this little oversensitive way. 

When you lift your head to meet his gaze, you smile a bit brighter, gently bumping your noses together. “Hey,” 

“Hey,” He murmurs back just as fondly. 

“You need a shower.”  

He smiles when he realizes you’re replaying your interaction from earlier that day, reaching up to brush your frazzled hair from your face. “Mmh.” 

“You need a shower with me?” 

“Mmh.” He repeats, moving to rest his cheek atop your head as you laugh at him when you feel his chest shake with a quiet laugh in turn. 

“Alright fine. Guess I’ll be getting a shower first and you’ll be left out here with your dick out and cold-” 

That gets him. Pushing you off him and to the couch with a yelp from you as you fall gracelessly on your side and gasp as he takes off towards the shower and you quickly following after him with a playful swat to his ass when you catch up. 

Yeah. You would say your guys’ relationship was domestic. 

[nanamisflowerfield]

Congrats, your blog is great! May I ask for a twst matchup? I will anyway so bear with me, please. I am interested in a quite a few topics which range from psychology, philosophy, theology, linguistics, history to neurology and toxicology. I get my all time favourite hobby would be researching, though I do like to sketch and write sometimes too. I am a bit of loner, which is partly willingly (or maybe I am telling that myself) and partly because I am just awful in making friends, because my lack of exposure has made my social skills rusty and I tend to come off as excentric or intimidating. I am usually a calm person and a good listener. I don't judge, but I do take things someone entrusts me with serious and I secretly might overthink their words when I am alone, furthermore I tend to rather try to learn as much as possible about the people that end up being close to me (unfortunately the friendships I make rarely hold on for more than a few months at best). I can kind of exaggerate in this aspect, there were instances were I would spend lots of time a day to read books, inform myself on websites and try to learn languages that are related to that person, of course outside their knowledge since I wouldn't want to creep my contact out, rather impress them with subtle inputs of my secretly aquired knowledge that can give them even more of a feeling to be safe with me. I tend to have a little bit of an oldfashioned personality my siblings tend to jokingly call me grannie (or boomer). I also dress kind of seriously and mature. I am wearing a long skirt, a longsleeved shirt and a scarf (I am freezing a lot), which are usually dark in colour. I gotta admit, I do have a goofy side, a very goofy side that I reserve for my friends, but once I showed them I showed them and they can't back out of it anymore, because I will have a hard time to contain my inner child, of course I will return to a more serious approach if the time calls for it. I am told that I can be quite witty and sly with my remarks. I am trying to be as honest and straight forward as I can, but sometimes the situation just calls for someone to point out it's absurdity lol. Another thing: I have 6 younger siblings and therefore people say I have the patience of a saint and I was often recommended to become a teacher, because apparently some people think my spontanous rambles about the things I researched or my opinions can be quite interesting. In a romantic scenario, I wouldn't mind being the one who confesses, as I said I like to be honest and straightforward, but I will do it with lots of consideration first, because I understand that some people might be uncomfortable by receiving one from me and if I do I will probably do it in a cheesy way, like putting together a little picture story as a way to subtly put out the things I admire on this person and their good points and also to have an excuse to draw them in fantastical scenarios lol. Initiating physical contact (WITH MY PARTNER) wouldn't be something I mind either. I think I would be a very dotting partner, but I am also someone who expects a little reaffirmation, it doesn't need to be grand but something obvious would be nice, since I might misinterpret things. I also value my privacy greatly. If I do share what I did the last weeks or what I think about a topic, I probably respect you and your ability to keep things to yourself haha. I think that is enough. Please keep it up! And thank you for everything!

Thank you!! And thanks for so much information for the matchup! I really hope that you will like it, it's just an idea and my opinion, so please don't be mad if you won't like it!

Ask: Reply - 2021.03.18

I don’t know what might be the best way to go about asks, but for now I’ll try to answer asks as they come and when I can/want to I’ll collect them together in a post instead of answering indivudually. I’ve seen other Vminie blogs with similar formats and have done a few collection posts like this before, and it really seems to be the easiest way to digest your questions.

Let’s go through what you’ve sent me today as I finally opened up this blog for asks again. :)

Topics:

Ask 1 - Vmin’s emotional connection vs ship moments Ask 2 - KTH1 and creative control Ask 3 - What makes a ship big? Ask 4 - Thoughts on Tae/kook’s relationship (+ edit on other post) Ask 5 - When did they first mention the dumpling fight? Ask 6 - A little about me and my big analysis Ask 7-9 - Thank yous and nice things

Thank you all for waiting. <3 Read more under the cut.

Ask 1 -  Vmin’s emotional connection vs ship moments

I agree with you. I might not look at other ships as focused as I do with Vmin, but I would guess no other ship comes close to how much Vmin have shown their emotional intimacy in many ways over the years. Not to mention how many times even BTS themselves point out Vmin’s bond as special. Not to mention to begin with we shouldn’t be insecure about their bond based on their interactions with others. We should judge Vmin based on how they interact with each other.

All members have skinship (though some more than others), but both Jimin and Tae are super comfortable with touching, sometimes even with strangers. Looking at moments you can ship all ships, and there are even those that believe their ship to be real for almost all ships in BTS at this point. Why? Well because if you focus on your ship and put emphasis on the moments between them as bigger or more important, you can find “proof” for anything. Because that’s just how close and shipworthy all of the dynamics in BTS are. They all love each other, and shippers can find their own preferred love amongst them. 

I think we also need to remember all the things Vmin has CONFIRMED that other shippers try to prove with their own ships. How is tae/kook hugging or ji/kook cuddling supposed to make me feel insecure about Vmin when they have that too AND call each other soulmates in a song that made one of their procucers cry and other things like Namjoon getting goosebumps thinking about their bond? Taehyung cried reading his letter to Jimin and Jimin said no other member would likely truly understand why he cried. Taehyung has called Jimin the warmest person he knows and his one and only best friend. AND AGAIN, SOULMATE. The years of material we have show us again and again how important they are to each other and how they grow and work hard together to make their bond even stronger.

Vminies, please appriciate what we have because we are spoiled.

Ask 2 - KTH1 and creative control

Honestly this is a difficult one. The thing is that we know that likely to some degree Big Hit will always be involved with what the boys do and release. But I also think their freedom to express themselves is better than most idol companies, and BTS whole brand is to be as genuine as possible. As for what Tae would be asked to tone down is hard to say exactly, but we do know that Yoongi and Namjoon (and other members) have been pretty dark and honest in their lyrics. I know from a Vmin perspective it could be something either LGBT+ or even directly Vmin related, but there isn’t enough to go on for me to make a good guess. We literally just know that he was told to tone it down. It doesn’t even have to be about the subjects or lyrics, even though that does seem the most likely. But we do know that Taehyung wants to release something that reflect him and that he can be proud of, so I am sure no matter what we get they will be his honest feelings. I am very excited and a bit scared thinking about Tae’s mixtape if I am being honest.

That being said, I think there could be lines that they should be careful not to cross. I think it’s possible with Taehyung’s personality who “doesn’t beat around the bush” that he might want to express more than what might be appropriate. Not just from Big Hit’s perspective but for his own sake. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying Tae is an idiot who doesn’t know what’s good for him. I just think at times he might be rebellious against his own better judement because it is something so important to him. For me talking about the Christmas song is partly such a moment, but I still think he was careful and ambiguous enough about it, even though he allowed himself to complain. Still, I am sure if it is about sexuality or even a relationship he knows the risks of being too open about it and would likely understand the need to be careful, or tone things down, if that was the case. A mixtape/album is not something done rashly or in the moment, so no matter what we get I am sure it will have been checked and considered by Tae and by Big Hit.

So basically I suppose the delay could be about creative control but mostly I really think it’s about Taehyung wanting to do well and writing when he feels like it without pressure. Which I feel is a very healthy approach by him honestly. We know mixtapes takes time and we know how Hobi felt about his first one, so I really think we should just give him time and I am sure we will get something amazing.

Ask 3 - What makes a ship big?

Aaaaaaw~! Thank you so much for your love and compliments. I feel like am very lacking in many areas still, but regardless I am glad my posts are appriciated. If I can bring a smile to anyones’ face that is an acomplishment to be proud of. Thank you. <3

As for what makes a ship big or not is of course quite subjective. For me at this point I would say ALL BTS ships are big ships. Not comparing them to each other but just by the huge amount of fans they all have. (I hope you don’t have to learn the pain or liking a rare-pair from a small fandom T-T). Almost all the ships in BTS even have analysis and people who believe in them, and I think that is partly an effect of size as well. That being said I think the bigger a ship is the easier it is for it to grow more. Which is why it is no surprise a lot of BTS ships that were popular right at the start are still the biggest ones now. But with more material and more fans there comes communities focused on their own ship, and they all grow as they get more moments. Vmin too have had a few times when they blow up for a while and gather new curious shippers. Friends is clearly a great example of this. Even Sweet Night seem to be something of a turning point for some to start shipping Vmin. All ships will grown in size with each passing year as we are always given new material. Even if a ship doesn’t get a lot, it will likely get enough to keep fans engaged.

For me I would say the loudest and the most agressive are often the biggest  (more bad apples the bigger the basket you know) and I think we can see some size indications by what ships trend more often etc. Ships can also be big in different ways and in different forums... Like how ji/kookers have taken tumblr as their platform while tae/kookers seem to be on youtube comments a lot.

All in all I don’t think size matters much though. Especially not with BTS where all ships get a lot of material and has their own fans who create for, share and dicuss about their pair. Popularity to me is not really something I think too much about, and honestly I think the way only the most popular pairs seem to get attention in the form of “worry” etc. is very telling. If JK and Hobi share a bed and cuddle and celebrate JK’s BD together, or Hobi post them having a picknick outside their house at night no one bats an eye... But if it was JK with one of Vmin? Confirmed to be dating and all other shippers get worried. 

Going into detail why ships gets big is a different conversation though. :P I hope I understood your ask correctly. Basically I consider all BTS ships as more or less big (perhaps with the exception of 2seok).

Ask 4 - Thoughts on Tae/kook’s relationship

So I got two Tae/kook asks today, seemingly because Tae/kook has had a lot of moments recently. I deleted the first one, but this one I feel is safe enough to share. I’ve talked about tae/kook before... (HERE for example) and I stand by that now too. I don’t have to dismiss other ships to feel confident about Vmin’s love for each other.

Tae/kook has always had a very physical and playful dynamic. Even when Tae changed and toned down this side of him we got moments where he played with JK or they hugged or cuddled close. I do see a little change now after ITS but mostly in that Tae seems to initiate more, not that it looks different in nature. I think when Tae changed his dynamic with JK lost a lot of it’s “main focus” as Tae wasn’t as playful. Look at JK with Jin as a comparison and I think JK in general is drawn to hang with people who are happy and fun to tease. 

Anyways, about their bond I do think tae/kook are close but as grown men they don’t have the same relationship that they used to when they were younger. They simply grew up and their dynamics changed. They haven’t had a lot of more serious conversations, but I think now that distance have become a little shorter after ITS. I think Tae/kook has a great bond that is underrated by many in the fandom but overrated greatly by their shippers. They clearly love each other and have fun with each other and can be very comfortable physically. 

But are they as close as Vmin? Personally I really doubt it. And even if Tae/kook would be real why should that have any impact on Vmin? Surely you wouldn’t think they are together but cheating or something drastic like that. I am also not sure why you would be particularly worried about tae/kook based on physical interactions alone though... I mean, both Hope/kook, Tae/jin, Ji/kook and Vmin also have a loooot of very intimate looking moments if you ask me.

You don’t have to worry about Vmin. If Tae has gushed about Jimin being special to him from 2013 to 2020 I don’t see why 2021 would be any different.

I also got a reply to this post where I mentioned the tae/kook ask I deleted. I must first say that it was my mistake to write JK’s lips and not his lip mole. I have edited the post to make clear he talked about the mole and not the lips.

Either way, thank you anon for giving perspective and adding your thoughts to the moments. Not to mention moments like this happen for all members and I don’t think we can draw any strong conclusions from them saying another members is sexy or something similar. But yeah, people pick and choose what they will remember, and often focusing on the negative will leave a bigger impact than the positive.

Ask 5 - When did they first mention the dumpling fight?

Hi and don’t worry. I honestly think a lot of Vminies don’t know about this because the first time was such a small moment not many would pay attention and remember it. We knew about it since 2016 where Tae offhandedly mentioned him and Jimin fighting about dumplings once.

I don’t even have the actual source for the first time Tae mentioned it, but it was all the way back in July 2016 in an interview with @star1 magazine, so we know it happened before that.

Then Tae got asked about it on a post it during a BST era fansign as well. Also, did you know the reason they fought was 💜?

Yeah.... Let’s just say I am not surprised at all to hear their dumpling fight having more meaning than first let on. As with most things brought up in the lyrics of Friends it’s something we already knew about since before. I also talked about this in my post Vmin analysis - “Friends”. (Though at that point we hadn’t heard them speak much about it and didn’t know how big of a deal it seemed to be.) It makes me wonder if the other things they talk about in the lyrics might also have more meaning than we know. 

Personally I think the reason we even got them talking about the dumpling incident so much is thanks to JK in the carpool karaoke. When asked what Vmin would fight about he was the one who mentioned dumplings and likely brought more attention to it than if it would simply have remained as one of the many lyrical anecdotes in the song. I am glad we got to know more, because honestly the dumpling incident seems to have been a pivotal moment in Vmin’s relationship.

Ask 6 - A little about me and my big analysis

Hi and thank you so much for the lovely compliments. Trying to consider all kinds of possibilities I feel should be obvious if you truly want to analyse something, but sadly I think when it comes to observing real people and being invested emotionally that becomes really difficult. Me too have to hold myself back a lot, because in the end there is always going to be room for error. And if I am wrong, who will be hurt? Likely all of you who listen to me and take my words into consideration. So I rather be upfront about the risk of being wrong than to speak too confidently and accidentally ending up misleading someone. I am really so happy and proud over Vminies who can stand back and not become delusional despite everything we actually have (this includes myself, because it’s not always easy to not get caught up in theories).

As for who I am it’s of course ok to ask. I am from Sweden and is 30 years old. (English isn’t my native language so I hope you forgive my mistakes, I know I have a lot of them in my posts). I’ve been a BTS fan since 2016 and Vmin fan almost since the start. I have been a fan of other groups long before BTS too and was pretty deep into the Japanese idol culture before fell for K-pop. For some additional info I also work with marketing and project managing and have a degree in conflict resolution. Thanks for being curious about me. :)

About my big analysis I am working on it still, and of course I hope to post it as soon as I can. I am a bit hesistant in bringing attention to some things though, as I have seen some of my previous theories and speculations be regarded as fact. I don’t want Vminies to run with my interpretations in a way that make them confident in Vmin being real. So yeah, I do want to post it, but I am also a bit worried what reactions it might get. I try very hard to remind you all that my theories are only speculations and we won’t know anything for sure (unless it would be confirmed). It still isn’t finished yet though, but I’ll keep working hard.

Ask 7 -  Thank you for the fic rec

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it. I haven’t had too much time to catch up on reading and just added a lot from my bookmarks, but good thing it was so appriciated by you all. Vmin writers truly are amazing aren’t they? :) 

(And don’t worry about me getting bad asks. I think I would have quit a long time ago if I let them bother me too much.)

Ask 8 - Just a very sweet anon

Thank you! I’m ok. Not great, but ok. Life goes on, you know? But I feel like I finally have the energy to blog again, and honestly that feels pretty great. It feels like I’ve been gone forever, but I hope you will still enjoy my musings and thoughts as you send me questions and I write new posts. :3

Ask 9 - The whole world is different from yesterday~ Just with your joy~

Omg what a sweet thing to say, thank you so much, you are putting a big smile on my face right now. I am glad you enjoy and understand my thoughts so much. I know many of you have missed my thoughts and even asked me when I would open my asks again, and so much always happen with Vmin too... (There is literally enough material to write books about them.) Thank you for waiting and being so understanding. I am happy to be back too. <3

Thank you everyone for you asks and I hope you liked this new format. :) I’ll try to keep it up and if you have any thoughts and opinions feel free to share them.
