BLOGTOBER 10/1-2/2023 - BLACK SUNDAY (1960), THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH, NIGHTMARE CASTLE

“Don’t be deceived by her face, look at her body!”

So one of the things that dragged me off my usual Blogtober course this year was a major project on Michele Soavi's DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE (1994), whichis sort of a gift that keeps on giving because there are so many layers to it and so many available interpretations of what it contains. For this work I had to dig a lot deeper into the topic of doppelgängerism than I usually do; this is not a subject I've thought a lot about, maybe because it often breaks down into an Id vs Ego "duality of man" thing full of inevitable conclusions that I don't find that interesting to explore. I like the folkloric notion that if you encounter your own doppelgänger, it's a harbinger of your imminent demise, that's pretty scary. But most of the characters in DELLAMORTE are duplicates of other characters, to more and less obvious degrees--the clearest example of which is Anna Falchi as an unnamed woman who reappears in new incarnations throughout the movie. Because that movie is often identified as the Last Great Italian Horror Film, and is thus understood to survey historic achievements in the genre (while still maintaining its own incredible originality), I thought I should go back and look at the famous doppelgängers played by Barbara Steele in some of her early, influential roles. I mean let's be honest, it would be easy to just accuse Antonio Margheriti's THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH (1964) and Mario Caiano's NIGHTMARE CASTLE (1965) of riding the admittedly inviting jock of Mario Bava's indispensable classic BLACK SUNDAY (1960), but if we treat the continuous duplication of Barbara Steele as an archetypal fantasy worthy of address, that makes for a better conversation.

The superior BLACK SUNDAY concerns the 17th century vampire-witch Asa, who returns to life two hundred years later to usurp the life of her identical descendant Princess Katia. In THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH, a 15th century woman is burned as a witch, and her daughter Helen (Steele) is killed for trying to expose the corrupt underpinnings of her mother's execution. Helen's young sister grows up the plaything of the evil regime whose reign of power is only interrupted when the mysterious Mary (also Steele) arrives at the castle to make trouble. I find the convoluted plot of this movie especially hard to repeat, so I hope I'm getting it right! NIGHTMARE CASTLE doesn't involve anything like reincarnation, which makes it slightly easier to discuss: An evil scientist murders his conniving wife Muriel (Steele) so he can take everything she has, only to discover that she left it all to her identical stepsister Jenny. His plot to drive the fragile Jenny insane and take over the estate is foiled by Muriel's ghost, naturally. In DELLAMORTE DELLAMORE, the self-replicating Anna Falchi signifies that the stunted protagonist is hopelessly deluded by his neurotic frustrations with women; he sees females as being "all the same" because he's blind to anything other than his personal projections, and he cyclically pursues the same drama with every woman he meets. One can't expect that level of psychoanalytic critique from these earlier films, of course, and while there is a lot one can say about the self-replicating Barbara Steele (including just how marketable she was), it's interesting to look at these stories in light of the tendency to identify mind with body.

Each of these movies has some great dialog that (at least in the english translation) has some very amusing things to say about the body and I tried to write them all down. The horror here may stem from the fact that while a woman's true value is in her physical appearance, that appearance can be a source of torment for presupposing men. NIGHTMARE CASTLE's Muriel makes the curiously-worded threat, “You can kill my body, but I’ll never leave you in peace!”, and in THE LONG HAIR OF DEATH, Helen's mother uses similar language in her last words at the stake—"Your bodies will be tortured like mine has been tortured today!” At LONG HAIR's climax (spoiler alert I guess, but this won't make the movie less confusing to the new viewer) the mysterious Mary reveals that she is really Helen with this wonderful body-centric speech about the complicated scam she and her little sister Lisbeth have pulled on the corrupt royal family:

"That’s my body. Death can often reinstate life, but it’s not like that with Lisabeth as she is not yet dead. Now do you understand Kurt, this was planned by us to vindicate our mother... You went to the extreme—murder—all for the sake of possessing me. It’s a pity that you did everything for a body that’s dead. Well Kurt, look at that body. Look well at the body that is really me!”

"Look well at the body that is really me" is something I am tempted to say all the time now, but this is all topped by Asa's triumph over the identical Katia toward the end of BLACK SUNDAY:

“You did not know that you were born for this moment. You didn’t know that your life had been consecrated to me by Satan. But you sensed it, didn’t you? That’s why my portrait was a constant temptation to you, why it frightened you! You felt that your life and your body were mine. You felt like me because you were destined to become me! A useless body without life... Now you shall enjoy a beautiful life of evil and hate—in me!”

There's something interesting going on in all these cases about how personal essence, or at least a person's destiny, is tied inextricably to the body. And actually, another of my distracting October projects focused on Michele Soavi's THE SECT (1991), an exceptionally weird movie by anyone's standards that involves a cult that appropriates other people's faces. I discovered that the film is kind of an adaptation of Gustav Meyrink's 1915 novel The Golem, which is a doppelgänger narrative par excellence, telling its disturbing tale from the point of view of a person who is himself a kind of doppelgänger. The narrator has a kind of transient consciousness that transplants itself into other people, but other doppelgängers exist as well: A lascivious young prostitute is said to be the child of a neighborhood predator, but as the story unfolds, it comes out that she is identical to her mother, who was identical to her mother before her, and there is no actual certainty about the paternity of any of these women. They form a collective, self-perpetuating threat whose weapon is a specific reoccurrant appearance. I don't know exactly what kind of conclusion I want to draw about this hydra-like archetype, but you may have guessed by now that my work on Soavi's filmography has caused me to start seeing doppelgängers everywhere I look, so you can bet this won't be the last time I talk about them!

Reminds me of your fic where Volo and his togekiss have just been chillin' for the past couple thousand(?) years, only instead of calming way the hell down Bloodmoon Ursaluna got even grumpier and also looks half-dead lol. Volo once took a vacation to paldea and they stumbled across each other, leading to a Spiderman meme moment. They mutually agreed to pretend it had never happened and Volo continued on with his vacation plans without further interruptions.

No but for real, the dialog for how the ursaluna got there just implied to me, personally, that the species itself wasn't long extinct and he had made his way over before they were officially declared so, not that he was one left over from the same time pla took place. Whatever made him look kinda like a zombie likely did extend his life a bit, making him the last of his kind, but not that long. If it had been a zoroark or basculegion, or just an ursaluna that had lost its normal typing to a ghost one when it died, though, I could see it. I figure ghost Pokémon probably have the ability to live (or "live") longer than most others can on average.

tbh i'm just waiting for the next pokemon gen to announce like, "oh wow, it turns out ancient hisuian pokemon aren't extinct after all, look at this rediscovered population!" and/or just make them catchable in a modern timeline game without even commenting on it a la fairy types in remakes. purely so they can have some way to keep hisuian forms accessible as we get further from pla.

and honestly? given that a lot of them are actually reigon-locked evos of pokemon that are canonically still extant, they really wouldn't even need to justify it. like, petilil and rufflet are extirpated from modern sinnoh which is why there are no hisuian lilligant/braviary seen in games, you theoretically could obtain a hisuian form of most of these types simply by bringing them back to that habitat. ursaluna are vanishingly rare bc of an absence of peat due to climate changes and/or are simply very rare and always have been due to their exacting evo requirements (necessitating both a special item and a very specific period of the moon cycle) (they're not even catchable in the wild in pla which supports this idea). i think i've talked already abt my hc that you don't see kleavor anymore purely bc of the wider availability of metal coats, which is by far the preferred evo material for scyther. and then there's sneasel which—and i think i've talked about this before?—i hc as having simply evolved, in the more traditional sense of the word, into their modern form over time, as their habitat migrated northward into more snowy areas (pokemon evolution happening via slightly differing mechanics and on a faster scale than real-world evolution, due to the ability of pokemon biology to dynamically respond to its habitat, i'm stopping now.) the only one that i think is sincerely extinct is basculegion, given that white-striped basculin appear to have been hunted to extinction in modern times. but even that is like—white-striped could still just be much rarer, if the pokemon company decides to bring them back.

that was a lot idk why i rambled that much, anyway you get the picture. volo running into bloodmoon ursaluna and them just avoiding each others gaze and continuing on is v funny tho

🗣️♣️(any hollowhead) 👀

*giggles* so fast hehe~

🗣Whats a thing you can talk for hours without interruption?

The like, closeness of (what they call) the color gang is like, adorable??? And so nice to see??? The little details about each one of them and the way they act through the episodes??? The tiny things. First one that comes to mind like, during episode 14 Cave Spider Roller Coaster, when they are all first running off from the spiders and Yellow notices the minecart (that now that I think about it it could be taken as a call bakc to episode 3, it probably is) and then you see Green just zooming past them... the way he runs and the fact that he was the one distracting the spiders so Blue could take care of the others makes me think that he might have gained a new fear oh no LDJWKWJJQ I want to do a redraw of some scenes of that episode with my gijinkas hehehe~. Blue and Green being like, in sync in many episodes, also I'm noticing like, the way they do things like running and stuff is similar, has struck in me the thought "twins?????" it wont go away (I do not get angry at the shippers tho). Red fainting like three times during the fight against the King and still standing up (I hope he got a good rest after episode 30), and him being the one to always (or almost always) step forward first into stuff (oh boy). Him and Yellow being something of a chaos duo. Yellow's way of acting makes me think of like... Tsukishima from Haikyuu? Its funny I cannot let the image go lol. Orange's little thing with Crafting and that being linked to his creations skills in a way. RYGB not letting poor Orange sleep oh god please let the poor guy take a nap. The HUGS the GROUP HUGS TH-

♣️Angst Headcanons?

I'm going for The Chosen One and The Dark Lord here they are the ones I put under a microscope OHOHOHOHO

I'm thinking like, Chosen being called "The Chosen One" but still failing in defeating TDL, the way TDL and TCO looked like during the Showdown, I know most peopld like, picture Dark being a bit (a lot) insane, I mean, he is, but nothing about the way the silly stick figure moved around during AvA - V told me he was acting like, for example, how he was showed during Chosen's flashbacks. It felt a lot like both of them were genuinely angry at eachother and from there my mind like, kept making stuff? Like damn Chosen had to fight his first and only friend and the way he was trying to stop Dark first from launching the Virus gave me the vibe of him not wanting to fight him at first, like, at all. And Dark's first attacks didn't feel like he wanted to fight Chosen at all either, their attacks only got really intense after Chosen fucking threw Dark into the Cliff during the first fight sequence in The Showdown . It hurts man (genderneutral). That in mind, I keep wondering what would happen if Dark was biten by one of the virabots...

Adding to the first ask... maybe the thing I could REALLY talk about for hours is how most of the character's thoughts are not told through dialogs, its all body language and actions and little details.

I was sitting here thinking about the kiss, as you do. And how perfect it was for them. How the little details made it perfect.

To start it off, Ed interrupts Stede’s sentence. Probably because he feels that if he doesn’t take this chance, he never will. He almost kissed Stede once before but he stopped himself then. Now he didn’t want to do that.

Then he just keeps his lips pressed to Stede’s because it takes a moment for Stede to respond, because he’s surprised. But as soon as Stede angles his body more towards Ed, repositions his lips, responds, Ed moves closer and puts his other hand gently on the side of Stede’s neck. He’s waiting for Stede to accept the kiss, he doesn’t force a hungry kiss on him. He makes sure that they take it slow. Because this is their first kiss, Ed opened himself up and took the chance but he didn’t want to force Stede into something he didn’t want. Stede doesn’t even realise that he’s in love with Ed until the next episode.

And I saw an article today where David Jenkins said that they’re basically teenagers when it comes to love, because neither of them has had these kinds of feelings before. And that Ed is probably more experienced with the physical side of relationships but that they both are teenagers in the sense of these big feelings that they have for each other. And that’s why the kiss makes sense. A first kiss doesn’t have to be this big thing with a grand orchestra playing in the background, leading to foreplay, leading to sex. Like many kisses in movies are, which is fine. But these two men deserve to take it slow. One of them is used to being ruthless and aggressive, and the other have never been in love. And they get to share a soft first kiss. (Also, how many times do you think that Stede and Mary actually kissed? They probably did a few times but considering that they don’t have any interest in each other in that way it probably stopped pretty fast, and the times they did kiss probably weren’t very passionate or good. And even if they had sex more times than two, depending on how many tries it took for her to get pregnant, that doesn’t mean that they kissed regularly. So it makes sense that Stede is, first of all surprised, but also that he probably isn’t that skilled when it comes to kissing.)

And when they break apart Ed keeps his hand on Stede’s neck, his thumb on his cheek and Stede smiles. It’s intimate and it’s a relief for Ed and a surprise for Stede, but it still made him happy (even if he’s still dealing with his guilt).

Was it this big “Hollywood kiss”, no. But that’s the point. This felt more real than most kisses in movies where it’s like “Oh yeah, the kiss is hot. But it looks as if these two have kissed a million times before AND taken a course in how to make your kiss look hot.”

I also find it kind of insulting on behalf of Taika and Rhys that people are saying that it’s because they’re straight and/or friends. Like?? Do you not think they are good enough actors to be able to kiss each other? Do you not think they are good enough actors to be able to kiss another man despite being straight. It’s also weird how people seem to think that you have to be attracted to the sex that your co-star is, like... that’s not how acting works... also, kissing isn’t all about having your tongue shoved down someone elses throat. I acted opposite a guy I liked a few years back, we played Benedick and Beatrice, we’d put our own monologue together from the original text and then we put a dialog together and it ended up with us kissing. It was a spur of the moment kiss for the characters and our lips met in a similar way to Stede and Ed. Our lips met, we were in that position for a moment before we parted and looked at each other. Everyone loved it, we were the favourite part for a lot of people. I was attracted to him for real, he wasn’t attracted to me but it didn’t matter, people liked it. And we didn’t have our tongues battle. But we did have chemistry, something that Taika and Rhys also have and that is a large part in why their relationship works on screen.

So I don’t get this mockery of the kiss. And as I said, I find it insulting on behalf of both of the actors that people think that they’re not professional enough to pull of a kiss just because their co-star is of the same sex.

#nicole watches stuff #I just don't get what people don't like or find unconvincing about that kiss #ed is being respectful and he doesn't push stede #sure he initiated the kiss and interrupted his sentence but he doesn't try and force his tongue into his mouth #and he didn't try to deepen the kiss because he doesn't want to cross stede's boundries #and I've studied that kiss because I have a problem #no but seriously #the way it progresses is amazing #also taika have kissing another man on screen before so...#and I wouldn't be surprised if he's kissed another man in real life as well #and considering the amount of posts that praises taika for being an ally and being hailed as a god for bringing queer representation #which I don't have a problem with I agree that he's great #but I haven't really seen posts like that about rhys like not even for the way he plays stede #not like taika have and I think it's sad because rhys is just as amazing as taika #so I also feel like those ''the kiss was bad because they're straight'' are more targeted negatively against rhys #but that's just my interpretation #I swear to god if I see another post about the kiss being unconvincing and bad I'll go feral #I would bet that they would have been up for having a 10 minute make out session if that's what would have made sense for the characters #also do you not understand how shooting a tv show or movie works??#they didn't just do that take once they did it several times from different angles #and the director would have told them they weren't happy with how the kiss looked #hell the director 100% had a conversation with them about how they all wanted the kiss to look #that wasn't a mistake and it didn't come from taika and rhys' being uncomfortable #it was a conscious decision because it made sense for the characters

"Ok I'm just going to say it ... he's back!" your friend's voice interrupted you, "and i think we'd have to hire -"

As head of the student body, the month of August meant that the head student worked closely with the sports club to organize the grand sports week. The dean personally visited during the council meeting to cheer you on, encouraging you to do the best and make sure things went smooth and using the pride you had in you, you were determined to not let them down.

So there you were in the campus auditorium with several of the members of the sports club discussing the details of the event like what were the official colours this year, which sports team would play on which day and when, where would each team be stationed on campus, how would the star player be called if needed, who would be assigned to stay with in contact between each team and the head student in case the players were needed and such.

"-yes?" your friend walked in and smiled sheepishly at the strangers in the room with you, a little embarrassed with themselves. She continued to smile at them while getting closer to you and tugged at the side of your sleeves,

"could you spare a minute?" she whispered. You sighed and excused yourself to be dragged to the side by your friend.

"This better be super important" you stern over her. She clapped her hands together and took a deep breath,

"Hyunjin. Hwang Hyunjin .... he's back" she revealed the name. You stood there stoned, believing that you heard your friend wrong but your friend knew you better,

"yes the Hwang Hyunjin ... your Hwang Hyunjin girl".

"...lies"

"no, I'm serious! Look! I event captured him" and sure enough your spy like best friend pulled up her phone where Hyunjin was displayed on the screen, bright and clear as if you saw him with your own 2 eyes in the flesh.

'Curse this forsaken phone and it's high quality pictures' you thought, failing to keep a 'tsk' to yourself. You wanted to run out of that auditorium. If you had to scout the entire grounds of the campus to pin the tall boy down, so be it.

"Is everything ok over there?" one of the boys called out to your corner and helped you out of your trance like state, though more so state of silent fury.

"Yea..yup. All is fine and danddy...I'll be right there!" you hollered back. You turn to face your friend again and held your finger against your lips,

"don't say anything, don't do anything alright? Go home and forget you ever saw him" you instructed her and she listened. You regained your composure and rejoined the group to finish off the meeting.

You sighed loudly for the first time of the day, looking over to your wrist watch '9:23pm' it read. You've been in the auditorium since afternoon and it surprised you that you lasted the meeting till this late into the night but at least you and the team got many things sorted out. If it was one thing you stuck by, it was that you preferred to get things done as soon as possible - this way flexibility and adapting would be in your control. It wasn't easy to organize and figure many things in a short amount of time, but you did it. There were several other things needed to be done but you were happy with today. Thankfully tomorrow was Saturday and that meant you could rest in.

Even though you were interrupted in the middle of your meeting, you managed to calm yourself and carried on, simply forgetting the news that your best friend broke to you.

You didn't mind walking alone at night, it wasn't like the lights weren't on because they were bright and you could clearly see all the cctvs installed all around. Your mind finally caved in and began to wander about the fact that Hyunjin came back. What he came back for? Beats you. You were getting closer to your car and the closer you got and squinted your eyes, you saw a male figure standing near it. It didn't take a genius to know who it was.

The famous Hwang Hyunjin, in the flesh, leaning against your car with grape juice in his hands. He saw you coming from a mile away and never took his eyes off of you, staring you down, just like you were to him.

"Did you miss me?" there it was. That silky voice you last heard 2 years ago. It never changed but it became more mature sounding - complimentary to his looks.

You should've been shaking out of anger. You should've ran into him and push him away from your car the moment your brain registered who it was. Yet there you were, several feet before him looking right at him, deadpanned in the eye.

"who are you?"

"Hyunjin. Did you miss me?" he asked again. 'Is he playing with me?' you asked yourself, unsure why he repeated himself.

"Huh? The hell are you talking about? Hyunjin? Didn't even know you were gone" you answered, mirroring the same monotone as his.

Your patience was being tested. His eyes shifted down to your hands, lingering on them for what seemed to be like a solid minute and you couldn't figure out what was running on his mind. You scoffed to the side and snapped your fingers, bringing Hyunjin back to reality, "this wasn't a pleasant meet. Move, I need to go home"

Your tone was harsh and that was how you intended it to be. You were no longer looking at him but to the night sky above you so you missed the way his eyes softened at your words, rather sadden at your words.

"I just want to tell you that I've returned"

"did I ask?"

"ouch ... ok..". You didn't buy it, you couldn't buy it. You didn't know if he was being serious or not.

"Can you move? I need to head home. I don't really care that you're back. Ok, so what about it? Move!" your voice boomed, rattling the few birds that settled in first seats in the trees.

Hyunjin frowned in disappointment but he knew you better than anyone else. He knew you were over this sudden reunion so he complied and stepped aside. Finally, you were allowed to unlock your car and opened the driver's door. When he stopped you in your tracks, hands inches away from the steering wheel,

"I'm participating in the archers team". That was the last thing you wanted to hear from anyone, especially him.

2 years ago, you and Hyunjin were the star athletes, ace archers of your sports team. Whenever you wanted to celebrate, you would always drag each other to a friendly match and whoever won would end up paying for dinner. You moved from friends to lovers when you accepted that you both enjoyed each others' company.

Your body filled with pride whenever you saw Hyunjin with his bow and arrows, whenever he managed to score bull-eye, whenever he would turn around to the team and send you his crescent eye smile - famous for making girls swoon over him. Spending time with Hyunjin during archery was what brought you the upmost happiness.

Until he decided that the team simply wasn't enough. He had greed for more. He wanted better. So he picked up and left. You managed to see him one last time at the airport, grabbing his wrist as tight as you could. You begged him to not leave you alone. He said he was sorry but he still left. The ace couple of the archery team was no longer. He left and so did your happiness in competing.

You breathed in and entered the safe confinement of your car. You sped up home, leaving Hyunjin to fend for himself at 10pm.

Monday greeted you with a slap of thunder, thankfully no rain. You woke up and prayed it was just the sky feeling a tad bit grumpy and that it'll soon stay sunny for the rest of the day. You got up and got ready, sporting a short sleeves top and pleated short skirt that mimicked the look of tennis outfit. You grabbed your things, keys, tied your shoes securely and headed out.

Standing on the podium of the arena, you officiated the start of the Grand Sports Week of the year. Nearly each of the sports team had seen and greeted you as you checked in with everybody and made sure the staffs remembered their tasks - the last thing you needed was a group of fanbase crowding over their crushes and disrupting the mood of your athletes. You made sure the athletes always had snacks on their table and plenty of water - a well hydrated sportsmen is what you needed.

You were so caught up in your role as head student that you forgot you too needed to hydrate. Under the hot sun, beads of sweat were running down your skin although you weren't paying attention to yourself. Your checkboard read 'trackers team' and that was your next stop.

What you didn't realize was that someone was watching you ever since your body came into view, even if you were meters away. He saw you walking across the field and followed your every step with his eyes. His surroundings drowned out as his sole focus was on you.

It didn't sit well with him. He didn't like the way you were walking with your head facing the grass. You never walked like that, not even if you were angry or upset. You always masked your face and walked like everything was alright. So the difference in walking style had him on alert with his hands gripping the arm rest of his chair. He was ready to discard his seat.

And he was right. Your pace slowed significantly and eventually you stopped walking. Your body only slightly swayed as it tried to get you to get a grip of yourself. In seconds your body met the ground as your surroundings black out and you lay there under the sun unconscious.

He would win the gold medal against the trackers if he were up against them. The speed when he came rushing to you, to hold you up against him and made you sure you were ok, was as fast as lightning. He picked you up in his arms and carried you to the school's infirmary, mumbling strings of curses. He was sad that you upheld your defense against him but it upset him more that you forgot to look after yourself.

When regained your consciousness and took in your surroundings, you were confused. No one was there, so how did you end up in the infirmary? You asked yourself what happened as you tried to recall your memory and all you remembered was walking across the field, checking teams to teams. Then it came to you that you must've fainted from the heat.

Heavy footsteps could be heard from the hallways and it was getting louder by the second, meaning you were able to see who it was.

'Him?!' No way.

You were not about to face him. You had no reason to. So you picked up your checkboard and pretended to be immersed in it.

"I know you're ignoring me, you're holding that upside down" he stated, as a matter of fact.

"Please look after yourself better, y/n" he spoke softly and it irritated you.

"What's it to you? I know how to care for myself, you may leave ...the same way you left 2 years ago".

Silence. He didn't really know what to say. He didn't regret joining a different team but he regretted leaving things, you, behind so suddenly without much explanation.

"Go away, Hyunjin" you shooed him, waving your hands in front.

"I'm not leaving you until you're ok" he stated in his seat. Your patience ran thin.

"Not leaving? No problem. You can stay, I'm leaving" you ripped off the IV drip and stormed out. In the same style you experienced 2 years ago. Anger, frustration, hurt, sadness and confusion, all of you, unknowingly you left bare to him.

He left you first so returning the act is only polite, no?

◦ No outline, this was shit writing. It's cliche and cringy, i know. I'm sorry.

author's note: I know I said I would write a pt2 to this, but I truly can't think of a good enough continuation plot. If by any chance inspiration strikes me, I'll make a pt2.

Did you ship Glimbow from the beginning?

Short answer:

Ehhh... not exactly, but there are reasons for that

Long answer:

The first thing you need to understand about my first viewing of She-Ra is that I watched it with my kiddo from the start, right away as each season aired. This was very fun and I LOVED that I had it to share with her but it also meant that between answering questions and her randomly talking and interrupting I maybe got to hear only about 30% of the dialog and could only half pay attention. So while I got the general gist of what I was watching and enjoyed it, I missed A LOT on that first viewing.

The second thing you need to understand is that I was not involved in fandom at all. So I suspected Catradora would be a thing even before I watched (because I was a big fan of the works of Noelle Stevenson going in and no one is ever straight in those) and the only mystery there was whether it would be explicitly canon or just implied. But, beyond that, I was just vibin’ as the youths say.

Except… Many of my IRL friends were into the show and so I would occasionally see fanart or posts that they were interacting with. Shortly after Season One aired I saw art of Bowfuma and clicked on it surprised that people shipped Bow with Perfuma and not Glimmer, which seemed more obvious to me (mostly bc I loved both Bow and Glimmer as characters so much). What I found was people dogpiling on the Bowfuma artist, telling them that Bow was canonically gay, that the fight he had with Glimmer at the Princess Prom was him coming out to her and it was offensive to ship him with a woman, they needed to respect his canon sexuality.

Now you and I know now this was a load of absolute nonsense but, keeping in mind the two things above, at the time I read this in good faith and assumed I had just missed this coming out scene (not surprising as I was missing a lot bc of my small viewing companion). It made sense to me that Bow would gay given Noelle’s past works. So I mentally took Bow/Glimmer off my list of possible pairings and whenever Glimbow had moments that seemed shippy to me from then on I just assumed I was reading it wrong.

So fast forward to Season 5 when Glimbow confessed their love to each other as I was literally in the middle of answering a kid question and I looked up at the screen and said, “Wait. What the heck just happened???” And afterwards everyone was cheering Glimbow bi canon wooo and I was deeply deeply confused. So then I went back and rewatched first the last season and then the entire run of the show by myself this time so I could actually pay attention and realized, wow, OK so those people I had seen talking back during Season 1 were completely full of baloney and led me totally wrong here.

Which is why, when people say they didn’t see Glimbow coming, I understand that. If you’re not giving the show your full attention, it is easy to miss because a lot of it is subtle. Or if you went in, like I did, with your impressions colored by completely wrong information from fandom, that would be a factor too.

Where people lose me, however, is when they say it came out of nowhere. You didn’t notice it? That’s understandable. But that doesn't mean it's not there. Go rewatch it and pay attention this time because it’s baked into the entire show from the first moments, and it’s obvious.

Anyway, obviously, once I rewatched the series and finally understood WTF was going on, I decided to embrace the Glimbow lifestyle forever, the end.

I... have some thoughts on the Loki finale. It was not what I was expecting, but I'm still hopeful for season 2.

This felt like a meh finale, like how a lot of season finales felt in Spring 2020 when they unexpectedly quit filming and had to cut things short by a couple episodes thanks to the pandemic. Only this was the planned out finale, they should've given a bit more oomph. I'm quite a fan of exposition and character development usually, but all the dialog was centered on He Who Remains, so it felt like our main characters were just side pieces.

Plus, the final "cliffhanger" of Mobius not knowing Loki and the statue of HWR replacing the Time Keeper statues felt quite lackluster. Not sure how they could've made it hit harder, but it didn't deliver the "oh shit" vibes they intended, but maybe that's cuz Mobius not remembering Loki has been an expected plot line on tumblr for half the season so it wasn't a blindside.

I get the point of the Sylki kiss. From what I've seen on tumblr so far I feel like the nuance of Sylvies actions was lost to most people (both Sylki fans and antis just Didn't Get It). It wasn't a big declaration of love like the fans are grasping onto it as, and it wasn't shoving selfcest into the canon to keep the heternormativity like antis are accusing it of being; it was Sylvie using Loki's attachment to her to trick him. She needed Loki out of her way, and she knew the only way to get past him and get He Who Remains' tempad was through emotional distraction. She used his love against him and betrayed him, a kiss was simply the most efficient way to do it. I did a whole post last week about Sylvie's feelings towards Loki, but to sum up I firmly believe that while Loki harbors some romantic feelings for Sylvie, she feels strictly platonic towards him, but is very aware of his attraction. She took advantage of his care for her to get the upper hand during their fight. Heck she even foreshadowed it herself in ep 5. "There are more important things than friends" "like taking down the TVA" she told Loki that taking down whoever is behind the TVA comes before everything; it's priority #1 in her book, above friendship or love or trust. Loki proved that his priority now is the greater good of the universe not her revenge, so Sylvie has no use for him anymore (partners only when it's convenient, because she is a Loki and that's how emotionally stunted Lokis behave).

I would like to point out the irony of her being worried about Loki betraying her, only to turn around and betray him. It's in the realm of "people who cheat assuming their partner is cheating" / "not using a turn signal when changing planes to avoid being cut off because when you see someone else use their signal you tend to cut them off", it's assuming other people will behave like you do. Sylvie feared in ep 5 that Loki would betray her in the end because she knew if it came down to it she'd betray him. But the thing is, he's actually grown past that. Loki is finally thinking about how his actions can damage others, not just his own wants and needs. Sylvie saw this moral change in Loki, realized there was no chance of getting him back on the blind revenge boat, and decided to exploit his newfound selflessness and emotional attachment to get him out of her path.

This whole season Loki has been maturing emotionally and growing into the best, most heroic version of himself. Sylvie, on the other hand, still has that deceptive, selfish, can't trust anyone persona that every Loki develops to combat insecurity. She hasn't had the emotional growth needed to see the bigger picture, she's still trapped in her own self centered mindset. As such, she disregards the impact her betrayal will have on Loki, the impact killing HWR will have on the universe. She doesn't even take a beat to consider whether revenge is still the right path cuz she doesn't practice self reflection yet; revenge has always been the goal and she refuses to give herself a chance of changing her mind. I hope in season 2 she'll get some character growth, now that her 1 goal has been accomplished.

Now on to Mobius. I enjoyed his scenes, I wish we'd been shown more of what he did to reveal the truth to the rest of the TVA. Again, I feel like too much time was given to HWR's monologing and not enough was spent on the other characters so Mobius and B-15 got very little screen time to display their plan. I am happy Mobius got the opportunity to throw Ranslayers betrayal back in her face, and his attemp at attacking her...my boy you work a desk job you ain't no fighter, she used to work in the field collecting variants, you had no chance. Also, where the F did she go??? I kept expecting her to show up at the end of time but she didn't. Where did Miss Minutes send her??

I'm sad Mobius doesn't know Loki anymore, but I can't say I'm surprised. I've got a few different thoughts on what the heck is going on with him and the TVA:

Sylvie accidentally sent Loki way back to a time early on in the TVA before HWR created the Time Keepers for anonymity. As such, this is a past Mobius who has yet to meet Loki or even learn of Loki's existence. If this is the case, then I think Loki and Past!Mobius's interaction at the end of ep 6 will be the catalyst for him becoming a Loki expert. The 63 branching timelines Mobius and B-15 are discussing before Loki interrupts are from some currently unknown disaster that'll be a plot line in s2. (This is my least favorite theory, but nevertheless a possibility)

HWR was correct when he said that if Sylvie kills him and destroys the TVA then another variant of him will just start it all up again. This variant didn't care to remain anonymous, hence the big statue of him, but kept all the memory wiped variants working there. Because time is a chaotic bitch, the changeover from one HWR variant to another may have been near seamless at the TVA and just involved a quick memory wipe of anything relating to the Time Keepers, Loki and Sylvie, or knowledge that the TVA are all variants. The 63 branches may be thanks to something Renslayer is doing like killing all the HWR variants in existence in order to negate the need for the TVA. The branching could also be from Sylvie's revenge still, we have no idea how much time has passed between her killing HWR and a new HWR taking over so the branching she caused could still be an issue.

There have actually been multiple TVAs running simultaneously, each in their own multiverse. Each one employs memory wiped variants, each one is in charge of a certain subset of timelines, and all work under the one HWR. Sylvie used HWR's tempad to eject Loki back to the TVA, but she accidentally sent him to the TVA of a different multiverse not realizing that's a Thing. The 63 branching timelines Mobius and B-15 are discussing are indeed from Sylvie killing HWR, but there's only 63 as opposed to the countless we saw diverging from Sylvie's perspective because this TVA only sees branches on timelines within their own multiverse. Mobius doesn't know Loki because he isn't our Mobius and in the multiverse he works in maybe Loki's aren't as much of an issue because none of them ever escaped the TVA like Sylvie did (or none of them have Tom's face so he doesn't recognize him as a Loki). If this is the case, then Loki is gonna have to find his way back to his own multiverse in order to be reunited with his Mobius, and that could end up happening thanks to Renslayer. Miss Minutes gave her a file that I suspect only HWR should have access to. Maybe it was tempad coordinates for other multiverses? It took til the 31st century for the multiverses to be connected despite Tony figuring out time travel in the 21st century because travel between universes is much harder, maybe HWR is still the only one who knows how to do that. (If this theory is correct then all the time travel done during Endgame was through timelines within one multiverse) Also just thought of this but what if the reason there are so many extreme variations of loki that grew to adulthood is because the criteria of "sacred timeline" is different in each multiverse. Classic Loki and maybe President Loki and Kid Loki are from the same universe as MCU Loki, but red haired Loki, Croki, Boastful Loki, etc are all from other universes. Think about it, Classic Loki, 2012 Loki, and MCU Loki all have an exact identical path up until their nexus event (or death in MCU Loki's case). I think other than identifying as female, Sylvie's childhood was identical as well and that her nexus event was coming to terms with her adoption as a child, which erased the catalyst of 2011 Thor's plot and would've changed everything for her future path. Had her adoption remained a secret and she grew up on asgard, I believe her story would mirror MCU Loki's. It mildly hit me weird that there would be such wild variation amongst Lokis, even with him being a shapeshifter, because there's a rigid sacred timeline (that supposedly the MCU movies have all adhered to) and they all felt like too big of a divergence to have been left unchecked so long. If boastful Loki was telling the truth about getting all 6 infinity stones then he should've triggered a nexus event as soon as he got more than the 3 he is "supposed to" interact with, unless in his multiverse the sacred timeline criteria is different. Another theory: the agents employed in each TVA are from multiverses other than the one they're working in. It would make sense, keep them from running into their own past by fully detaching each agent from their home timeline/universe. So the Principal!Renslayer that B-15 found will never in any future become the TVA judge we know. The one we know maybe came from the universe Loki got sent to, and that's how the two of them will end up crossing paths again.

Diversity win! The cannibalistic man-eating alien parasite is bi!

Venom 2 thoughts under the cut (there are many):

I liked the second movie. Similar to the first, the pacing is weird, some of the scenes and dialog were weird... a lot of things were weird, basically. But, it adds to the charm, I guess. Again, keep in mind that I liked the movie, because I’m about to start complaining a lot.

The movie was not as gay as I was hoping for. Like, all the stuff I saw teased beforehand was there, but in a different way. Yeah, Venom and Eddie act like a strange couple... the few times that they’re actually together in the movie. Yeah, Venom says something about coming out... “of the Eddie closet”, referring to not being restricted by his rules. Yeah, Venom tells Eddie he loves him... passively, and Eddie has a brief moment of ‘wut?’ before it’s basically glossed over. Throughout the movie they’re clearly supposed to be like a married couple... but only “like”. I can’t say I didn’t expect the movie to not be as gay as people were hyping it up to be, though. People here have a tendency to take crumbs and rave about the delicious cake they had.

I feel like there really should have been more done to sell Eddie and Venom being a perfect match by the end, especially with them defeating Carnage through the Power of Love. Dan’s like, “Look, Kasady and Carnage aren’t going well together, but you guys are perfect for each other” and then Venom and Eddie are like, “Hell yeah we are” and go to fight them, despite Eddie barely managing to give Venom an apology for being a dick like an hour prior, and Venom straight up not giving Eddie an apology for beating the shit out of him before their break up.

Speaking of their fight, that was brutal. Uh, I don’t know if it was framed to be humorous and I just didn’t catch it, but the people in the theater were laughing. Like yeah, some of their arguing was humorous because it’s funny that Venom doesn’t care about eating people but is too emotionally attached to a couple of chickens to eat them, but Venom breaking Eddie’s nose and other shit didn’t feel very funny to me. I will say, I’m glad Eddie fought back. Yeah, them fighting in general is bad(that was the whole point, that’s why they broke up) but Eddie actually managing to get Venom back made their relationship less abusive and more toxic. I think them being on more equal footing is important to the whole “they’d be a good couple if they worked out their issues” thing the movie was trying to do.

Still, the movie didn’t resolve anything when it came to Venom and Eddie, really. Venom got to eat a couple people, but he’s going to get hungry again and Eddie is still not cool with Venom eating heads. Eddie managed to apologize to Venom for not admitting how much he helps, but it took so much effort and was under the pressure of needing to fight Carnage so it doesn’t feel genuine enough. Venom still needs to feed and Eddie still needs to appreciate Venom’s help. They’re still at the place they were during the fight but they just sorta made up long enough to kill Carnage. Eddie’s apology felt like the first step in working things out, not a grand leap that sorts out their shit enough to defeat Carnage with the Power of Love.

I also have to mention how conflicted I feel. Like, yeah, Venom is a cannibalistic man-eating alien parasite, AKA, not the best LGBT rep to ever exists... but imagine if he didn’t love Eddie? I just can’t see Venom as being 100% straight, even if I know him being bi is very othering. It could possibly help if Eddie, the human protagonist, was clearly Bi as well... but he’s really not. Not opposing Venom’s love isn’t the same as reciprocating it and even if he does love Venom back... it’s still not a good look for your Bi character’s only same sex love interest to be a tentacle monster.

Okay... thoughts on things that aren’t Eddie and Venom...

I’m really happy Dan didn’t die and that Anne and him are getting married. By extension I’m glad Eddie didn’t get back together with Anne, which the end of the last movie seemed to be pushing would happen. I was genuinely concerned that Dan would die so Eddie could end up with Anne, but instead they took the good route and actually had Eddie and Venom have to accept that Anne moved on and her relationship with Eddie wasn’t healthy.

I’m also really happy that Dan Did A Thing during the climax. He did Two Things, actually. He may hate dealing with alien nonsense but he was there to help in the end, just like how Anne was in the first movie. Sadly, unlike the first movie, Anne didn’t Do A Thing during the climax. No... she was a damsel in distress. But, you know, a woman kidnapped her so it actually wasn’t sexist, right? (That’s sarcasm, btw.)

Speaking of sexism... uh... I’ve never seen so many women fridged in such a short time before. Kasady killed both is mom and grandma which sent him to the mental institution, and Eddie’s mom died during childbirth which was used to spur Venom into attacking Kasady. While it wouldn’t be fridging because it didn’t motivate characters through trauma, the first movie also killed two female characters, Maria and Skirth. Of the eight notable female characters we’ve seen/heard of, only two are still alive by the end of the second movie. Three even died before the first movie. Compare to notable male characters, which there are way more of, and only four died, all of whom were villains. I’m just saying.

On a lighter note, I liked a lot of the stuff with Kasady and Shriek. They were fun and their love was genuinely sweet, even while they were brutally slaughtering innocent people.

That was short, but back to complaining... I really feel bad for Shriek. It was probably the point but she really didn’t deserve the crap she got as a kid. Neither did Kasady but he needed some serious intervention and not just... straight up abuse. Meanwhile, correct me if I’m forgetting something, but I don’t think Shriek was actively antagonistic to anybody. Like until she was being dragged away from Kasady she wasn’t the one to actually strike(shriek?) first. It really feels like her villain origin story wouldn’t be an origin story if fictional mental healthcare wasn’t so absolutely dogshit and abusive. By the way, add Venom 2 onto the pile of movies that give me a fear of being sent to a mental hospital because writers decided that “crazy” people are pique horror and so too would be the place they’re sent to.

It’s taken me a million years to actually talk about Carnage because he really did not get any time to be an actual character. Hardly anything stood out about him. At least with Riot there was a hint of deceitfulness going on with him making Drake think they were a team when really he was just using him to get into space, but Carnage had nothing interesting going on besides letting Shriek live the first time she accidentally hurt him. Besides being pretty strong and Venom’s “child”, he’s got practically nothing going for him.

Look I know I had barely anything nice to say but I swear I did enjoy this movie. I’d say I liked it so much that the bad stuff stood out more because it interrupted my enjoyment... maybe. I don’t know.

My Cats Non-Replica Pt. 2

Alright at the high request I finally bring you part 2 of my ideal Cats Non-rep. However, if you haven’t seen part one this will make zero sense so here's the link. (Also @a-cat-is-not-a-dog @the-metaphorical-jellicle-cat I believed Ya’ll wanted to see part 2)

Moments of Happiness

Alright! Coming back for the second act all the cats/toys are gathered around Old Deut’s feet. Its here where we see Gus enter for the first time. He’s a rag doll like the rest but is incredibly worn from years of excitable use, he also has a very plain looking piece of fabric for a blanket. Jellylorum assists him in while Asparagus Jr. (My production would include him as a separate character) pushes over the toy bed that has been tucked away in the corner. Gus sits down on the bed and slumps slightly from loss of stuffing. The rest of Moments of Happiness progresses as normal. Gus the Theatre Cat So once everyone has settled down, Jellylorum starts to sing her portion of the song. The younger kitten characters are gathered up around the toy bed curiously, giving us the impression they don’t get to hear much about Gus anymore. The first two times Jellylorum and Gus mention the famed Fireforefiddle, the kittens are seemingly unimpressed and look at each other awkwardly. But the third time, Asparagus Jr. quickly puts on a quick costume and stands behind Gus, showing the kittens just how impressive the role actually was. Fireforefiddle should be a vague, but terrifying figure. Short of the little girl’s version of the boogie man. The kittens are all very impressed and the song comes to a sweet conclusion. Growltiger’s Last Stand So the first thing I’d like to address about this song is I will not be keeping the parts about the siamese. I did a rewrite of the lyrics here so just assume going forward I will be using those instead. So as per usual Gus remembers the days were he once played Growltiger, but instead of actually becoming Growltiger, he has Jellylorum bring him a large story book for him to read out of. In this sense, he acts as a sort of narrator for the story, often interjecting with different lines of dialog. He throws off his quilt and turns it to show the other side, which is decorated with tiger print. Asparagus Jr. puts on an eyepatch and the tiger print blanket and plays Growltiger instead. The Growltiger set is pretty much halved in size, only taking up a small portion of the stage, Jellylorum plays Griddlebone as perusal and dresses up very fluffy doll clothing. The navy (who will be taking place of the siamese) are dawning lego pieces as helmets with plastic swords. Growltiger proceeds as normal, although all interaction between Griddlebone and Growltiger is much more toned down and your stereotypical romance scenes. As the last few lyrics fade out, Gus slowly closes the book and everyone renters the stage. Gus’ bed is moved back next to the toy chest and he remains there for the rest of the production. Skimbleshanks the Railway Cat

Now finally onto Skimblehshanks! This number progresses as normal, Skimble being dressed in a very fancy doll best. He’s sort of the little girl’s ‘fairy tale prince’ style toy thus is kept very neat and tidy. This is also a good time to mention all of the wigs are fashioned from yarn to really sell the ragdoll aspect. When it comes time for the train to be formed, a large replica of a toy trained in wheeled out, with ‘Made in Scotland’ printed on the side. Skimble climbs on top of the train for a short while. Where the train would usually fall apart, instead of the cats accidentally flips the train’s switch, causing it to start up and ‘drive’ off into the other side of the backstage. (Actors on the hidden side will move it) Skimbleshanks progresses as normal, ending with him climbing up the side of the bookshelf.

Macavity the Mystery Cat Alright! Finally we see the man himself. Macavity appears and looks far more plastic then the other toys, he has marker on his face and a toy helmet. Unlike the rest of the tribe, he’s the elder brother’s toy and aims to terrorize them in anyway he can. He appears and has a small troupe of toy soldiers cart Old Deuteronomy away, leaving the cats/toys to all scatter quickly, going to hide or search for the leader. This leaves Demeter and Bombalurina behind. They sing Macavity pretty much normally. Occasionally having the lights in the room flicker throughout the song. Macavity Fight For a moment it seems like the day is saved. We see the back of Old Deut slowly move back onstage, but Demeter sees through that. Leaping onto his back she pulls down the spare fabric and reveals Macavity is back! He attacks the crowd of toys and tries to kidnap Demeter, however he’s stopped by Munkustrap. The fight should be reminiscent of two toys behind slammed together in a fight simulated by a child. Munkustrap ultimately being triumphant and warding Macavity off. But not before the power to the room is cut and the curtains drawn, leaving the room in darkness. The cats huddle together in fear before a flashlight is turned on and shined on the top of the toy chest, revealing the familiar form of Rum Tum Tugger. Mr. Mistoffelees Tugger appears and assures the tribe that a certain magically Mr. Mistoffelees can help them. Whilst he sings the first few lines, a giant Jack in the Box will be pushed onto stage. Just before the second chorus, the music will stop. Where Misto would usually enter in from the ceiling, Tugger will instead wind the side of the music box. When the jingle ends Misto pops out of the box, wearing a long sparkling tail coat with stripped arms. He climbs down out of the box (with the assistance of Tugger) and waves his hands, turning on bright star lights on the wall behind them before the song continues. Around mid song, rather then the usual cup trick, Misto instead uses a turned over Bustopher Jones hat to summon seven kittens. (played by child actors) Each one looks like a mini version of Misto himself, except the last looking like a mini, less fluffy Tugger. Once the kittens are all pulled from the hat, they assist Misto in his final trick, to bring back Old Deuteronomy. (I sadly had drawings for this but they just will not load) Memory Finally the ball can get back on track! Except Grizabella arrives for a third time to interrupt. This time the rest of the tribe waits around and listens, refusing to look at her. As she sings they all slowly turn towards her. Munkustrap and Old Deut even reach out towards her as the climax of the song is reached. With her final plea complete Grizabella turns and begins to leave, assuming no one was listening to her. That is until she’s touched by Victoria and welcomed back. Journey to the Heaviside Layer As I mentioned before, the Heaviside Layer is a metaphor in this world for being taken outside the room on some sort of trip. So while the tribe greets Grizabella again, they all assist her in looking a little better. Jennyanydots helps sew her up, Skimbleshanks and Munkustrap brush her off, others help fluff out her fabric. All leading up to the final moments of the song, where all the cats circle around Grizabella, obscuring her form view before quickly running back. Revealing a small Grizabella toy left in place. Most of the toys leave the stage quickly while Munkustrap sits back on the chair, watching. The little girl quietly renters the stage, this time with a coat on. She sees the Grizabella doll and picks her up slowly, looking her over before hugging her to her chest and running off. Munkustrap smiles and slowly gets off his chair as the cat toys emerge from their hiding places once again. Ad-dressing of the Cats Deuteronomy once again gets onto the chair, this time standing and delivering the song. The cats follow his lead as normal, finishing off the song before bows. And thats it! Thats my ideal production. I really hope you all enjoyed as much as I did!

I didn't get invested in McDanno right away. It took me a few seasons to start really shipping them, because I liked Catherine (Steve's ex-girlfriend and almost fiancée) up until she left him and lied to him. Then I realized what had been staring me in the face the whole time, and I ended up very invested very quickly.

So, just for fun, have a few Steve/Danny queerbait highlights:

They constantly say "I love you" to each other.

They frequently refer to their partnership as a marriage.

The younger team members jokingly call them Mom and Dad.

Danny and Gracie interrupted Steve's movie night date with his girlfriend, and they sat in between the couple, and Steve put his arm around Danny.

Danny asked his girlfriend to leave him alone with Steve for a few minutes just so he could tell Steve that he loves him.

They went on a double date with their girlfriends where they ended up sitting together with their arms around each other.

When both of them were hallucinating/imagining the future at different times, they were always together in the end.

On an undercover mission someone assumed they were a married couple, and Danny was upset with Steve when he clarified that they weren't actually a couple.

They literally crossed the world to save each other and bring each other home multiple times.

Their relationship was paralleled in the actual dialog of the show to Junior/Tani, which was set up as a slow burn right away with actual payoff after a few seasons.

That entire couples retreat episode.

And honestly I could keep going.

And yet, in the end Steve just left Danny and the rest of his found family. Like, he got on a plane and left,, making up with Catherine in the process.

And I'm still pissed about it.

Goodbye Winter

I got this idea after seeing a dialog prompt and an intense need to write something again. So, if you like dancing and banter, you might like this. It gets pretty sappy, pretty fluffy, and at one point, I threw my hands up in frustration because of that. If you like romance, this is romance. Can be considered a sequel to The Path we Walk, but it can stand alone, take it as you will. Talbott Winger x Alexus Johnson (HPHM MC) Takes place at a school dance as Talbott contemplates his relationship with Alexus. 3,000+ words.

A general conscientious of Talbott Winger’s life can be summed up in six words: “I would rather be anywhere else.”

Ever since he begrudgingly befriended one Miss Alexus Johnson, the Ravenclaw prefect in his year, he found himself getting dragged to more and more social events around the school.

She was very convincing. Every time some event was coming up, she would interrupt his quiet meals to convince him to attend the event. Dances, festivals, any large amount of the student body gathering together, she would manage to successfully make him promise to attend. It had nothing to do with the massive mutual crush that they both had on each other, but he will admit to the fact that their dating one another did have a major factor on his attendance each time. They were showing up together at these events, and it would be dead rude to not attend when she invited him as her date.

Yes, Talbott Winger and Alexus Johnson were dating. The loner and the elusive curse-breaker.

This came as a shock to absolute no one because everyone knew that their constant witty banter was in fact, flirting. Well, everyone except Talbott and Alexus themselves.

Either way, despite the fact that Talbott hated being in social events, just being by Alexus’s side made it all worth it.

At least, that’s what he was telling himself right now.

Talbott stood stiffly to the side of the dance floor in the Great Hall, watching the other students in his year socializing amongst each other. As a treat (or probably an apology for the latest dark wizard to be let onto the campus), Dumbledore had let every year vote on an individual event to be put together by an elected committee in that year, and the sixth years chose a dance. Naturally, Penny Haywood was head of that committee, Alexus her right hand, However, students like Merula Snyde, Andre Egwu, and Deigo Caplan were also on that committee, and Alexus complained about one of them specifically, in extensive detail, to Talbott when they were eating lunch in solitude together.

The theme the committee had some up with was “Hello Spring” or “Goodbye Winter” or some rubbish like that, as they were now in the middle of March. Something to give them a pick-me-up before the finals that loomed above them. It was formal, much like the Celestial Ball, not that Talbott had attended, he was not so willing to socialize at that time.

He was alone right now because she was either busy with last-minute curse breaking things or dance details, he wasn’t sure anymore, but she agreed to meet him soon.

He dressed nicely, he thought. Charcoal button-up shirt and slacks, complimented by a deep blue jacket, his necklace tucked safely under his clothes. It was more “winter” or whatever than the other students, but he didn’t care. Alexus had given him an off-handed comment on how deep blues looked nice on him, so that’s what he was going with.

He really did like her, he had for a long time, and he really only did this so that he could be with her, even if it meant being around people. Not that he would tell her that, he had a reputation to maintain after all.

So, waiting for Alexus, surrounded by his peers, he stood, keeping to himself. He fidgeted with the collar of his shirt, not because he was uncomfortable being dressed up, but he was bored. Standing to the side was rather dull, even for him. He didn’t mind being alone, but being alone when everyone else was not made him feel like he was sticking out like a sore thumb, which he did hate.

Granted, sticking out was one of the few downsides to dating Alexus. She was always in the thick of things, especially attention or the spotlight. Dating her brought him into some sort of school gossip, and occasional whispers followed him around the halls as he walked from class to class.

The notion of him being the target of talk at the moment made him rather relieved when two of his classmates, Ben Copper and Diego Caplan, walked over to him.

Talbott wouldn’t call them “friends,” but he didn’t hate their company for a majority of the time. He knew they were good friends to Alexus and they were all in the Circle together.

“Looking sharp, there, Winger!” Diego complimented before delivering a heavy clap on his back

Talbott smoothed out his jacket, muttering a thank you as he looked at the two.

Ben was staring, the usual stoic stare that rivaled Talbott’s own neutral expression of general displeasure. It was a surprise the Gryffindor was there, he had almost a better penchant for avoiding social gatherings like Talbott. Diego was beaming as usual, like the idiot he was. Well, maybe not an idiot, but he was more energetic than what Talbott was used to. There was almost nothing in common with Caplan and Copper except for their dueling skills, which is probably the only reason they were together at the moment. Maybe Diego was trying to show Ben that smiling wasn’t fatal.

Either way, Diego was certainly checking Talbott up and down, smiling, making him rather self-conscious.

“You’re definitely sharp enough for the girl that’s going to be in your arms tonight!” he complimented.

“Save your enthusiasm for the dance floor, Diego, or else Winger might die of embarrassment before he even sees her,” Ben remarked curtly, coldly, not too many hint of emotion in his voice, despite the fact that Talbott’s face was turning a proper red at this moment before he continued. “Personally, dancing, school formals, all of it is a waste of time. There’s so much more that Alexus and I could be doing to avenge Rowan, but she was rather insistent that I get my mind off of that.”

Talbott was now regretting the two having come over to talk to them, and he had to wonder why they did. He was terrible company.

“A favor to her, then?” he gandered.

“Something of that calibre, yes” Ben agreed, “She’s very persuasive, you know.”

“Oh, believe me, I do.”

“Persuasive, and… different. Ever since Valentine’s Day. Have you noticed?” Ben continued.

Talbott raised an eyebrow, now gaining a better understanding of their motivations. Ben Copper fancied himself something of Alexus’s bodyguard at times, her most trusted protector, their friendship one of the longest she’s had. He was taller than her (everyone was taller than her), just a few months older than her. Diego Caplan adored Alexus and it was no secret they did have a bond over their shared Spanish heritage, him even affectionately calling her “hermosa” and other terms of endearment of the familial type.

He stared at them, contemplating his answer.

“No. I haven’t noticed…” he began, “But, something I am aware of, is that Alexus already has an older brother, and, correct me if I’m wrong, but that isn’t either one of you two, is it?”

Ben’s expression did not change.

“As we’re fully aware, however, even if Jacob wasn’t indisposed at the moment, I imagine we’ve been good substitutes. Someone has had to watch out for her, and we have, quite well.”

“She’s more than capable of handling herself, you know.” Talbott side-eyed Diego, who’s charming smile had long since faded from his face. He was not looking at Talbott with confrontation, but rather, some seriousness that he had not seen in him before.

“We know,” was all Ben said.

“It’s really about what Ben has definitely failed to mention,” Diego quickly stepped in. “Yes, she’s changed, but for the better.”

Talbott frowned, looking down at the Hufflepuff, but before he could say anything, Diego continued.

“She’s happier, having someone to lean on since Rowan… Someone like you, who reminds her that she’s human. Still a girl, still a student, like us. Reminds her that knowledge and missing brothers aren’t the only facets in life worth pursuing. You help take away some of that burden.”

Talbott did not know what to say. He looked towards the other students on the dance floor, pursing his lips, thinking. He didn’t understand, he was just one person. She was one person. No, that’s not true. She was a thunderstorm in the body of a 16-year-old girl. Quiet, brewing dangerously under the otherwise composed surface. When she strikes, she did it in a flash and left the world quaking after it. The world was going to behold her power one day, a small part of her world beheld her now, as someone dangerous, dark, mysterious, and beautiful.

He looked back at Ben and Diego. The latter’s signature smile had returned, dazzling as ever like nothing had happened, while Ben’s usual hard-set stoicness had softened into a blank expression that was almost trust.

Before Talbott could say anything, a nicely familiar face appeared at his left arm.

“Are these two giving you any trouble?”

Talbott felt a warmth in his chest as Alexus slid both her arms around one of his own, lacing her hands into his.

“Oh yes, quite troublesome, in fact. You know Copper, ready to duel on the dance floor,” he said, lightly, casually, smiling down at her.

Alexus gave a soft laugh before looking at Ben and Diego.

Diego gave her a gracious smile as she extended her hand. He took it and stooped down to kiss her knuckles, platonically, like a proper gentleman.

“You look as radiant as ever, Alexus!” he complimented.

“Oh, careful, Caplan, as we said, we don’t want a duel on the dance floor,” she warned him not so seriously before wrapping her arms back around Talbott’s.

Diego just winked before he and Ben took off, Diego leading the way.

Talbott looked down as Alexus moved in front of him. He mentally remarked to himself how beautiful she looked. Whereas Talbott’s ensemble was darkened blues and cooler tones like the cold winter, she was spring. Her cotton dress was a much softer blue. It had an intricate white-lace trim and was cinched at the waist before it flowed delicately to her knees. Her hair was plaited back into a long braid, a golden hair pin in the shape of a laurel tucked in.

He felt a light thudding pick up in his chest as she looked up at him.

“You look… amazing,” he said, quietly.

“You look quite amazing yourself, Winger,” she returned, smoothing down the lapels of his jacket before standing on her toes to peck his cheek. “Thank you for coming, I know this isn’t your thing.”

“It’s all fine. You and the committee did amazing, it feels like an afternoon brunch in a garden. Very spring,” he remarked, nodding around.

Truly, the decorations were spectacular. The Great Hall was light, a perfect day with sunlight flooding in from the large windows, the ceiling above was a pristine blue with wispy clouds slowly trailing along the sky. There were small trees lining the edges of the room, potted, no more than seven feet tall each, uniformly hedged. The tables all had white cloth lining them, delicate tea cups and lace doilies surrounding simplistic white daisy and yellow gerberas centerpieces.

“I feel like we’ve done and decorated for a wedding, how intricate everything got,” Alexus muttered. “Penny’s a brilliant mind for this, though, if potioneering doesn’t work out. Merula didn’t make it easy, fighting her at almost every step.” She took his arm and he began leading her away from his wallflower spot, moving towards the dance floor.

“Oh? I bet you were quite the lieutenant. Or were you playing peace-keeper?”

“Lieutenant. Penny’s brilliant ideas deserved to be executed, and executed well. Don’t get me wrong, Merula had some winners, like the floral arrangements, surprisingly, but I can’t tell you how heated two people can get over white daisies and irises, or white daisies and dahlias.”

She stepped in front of him as they ended up in the middle of the dance floor, the song ending.

“But you didn’t go with irises or dahlias,” he remarked as she curtsied to him.

“No, Andre suggested the gerberas,” Alexus informed him as he bowed before they took the start position for the waltz. Extending one of their arms to link them at the fingers, he put his right hand on her back, just under her shoulder blade, she rested her left hand on his arm. “Penny and Merula almost killed him because of how good his suggestion was.”

Talbott laughed, actually audibly laughed as the music started. He stepped back, she followed, stepping forward, following his lead as easily as a breath. Truthfully, this was not the first time they had waltzed together, but it was the first time they had waltzed in front of other people.

Once the bitter chill of February had subsided, chased by the warming of march, they used their animagus forms to sneak out more frequently after hours than they should, both of them flying to the Clocktower Courtyard to dance under the stars to the music of the night. That had started on a bet. Alexus could not believe that Talbott had a musical bone in his body, and Talbott insisted that Alexus definitely had two left feet. She challenged him to dance with her, and that was how they accidentally discovered that the other could dance. Really well, in fact.

Talbott revealed that, as a young child, he first learned how to step on his mother’s toes, and after her death, he was determined to learn how to properly dance to honor her.

Alexus informed him that her mother enrolled her in classes for “proper young girls” and one of the things they learned was various ballroom dances. Well, that was one of the few things Alexus learned before she was kicked out for “consistent disobeying of the rules.” That was kindly putting it, when, in reality, she threw a frog at another little girl (the head-mistress’s daughter) after she tore the pages out of the book young Alexus was reading at the time.

Because of their frequent rendezvous, they had grown comfortable dancing with each other, and it showed now, surrounded by their peers.

In other circumstances, Talbott would have been nervous, possibly stepping on her toes, conscious of every pair of eyes that would be on him. But with Alexus, it felt like the whole world had disappeared, and it was just them in the cloak of night, no cares, no curses. Nothing to bother them as long as they danced and danced together.

When that song ended, they didn’t leave the dance floor, they just waited as the music changed and adjusted accordingly. And again for the next song, and the next, and the one after that until they were almost exhausted from dancing with the zeal and enthusiasm of every song being treated like their first.

“Wanna step off the floor?” Talbott offered, seeing her face flushed from the effort, he himself trying to catch his breath. She just laughed in response, resting her head on his chest for a second before she pulled him to the side where the tables were. As ever, her laugh was the sweetest music he had heard all day, and he wished he knew how to say that out loud. He couldn’t figure out how to articulate this to her, so he just let himself be led, flustered with euphoria.

She pulled him to a nearby table, and they all but collapsed into the chairs next to each other.

“We should not do that again,” Talbott muttered.

“No, we shouldn’t, my shoes can’t handle it,” she agreed, leaning back.

“Refreshments are over there, yeah?” Talbott pointed to an elongated table off to the side, “I can get us something, if you want.”

“That would be nice, thank you.”

He nodded, and stood up, making his way over, Alexus watching him leave until Penny Haywood and Barnaby Lee took a seat at her table.

“That was smashing to watch, Alexus! Where’d you learn to dance like that?” the Slytherin boy asked, eagerly leaning on his seat, facing her.

“My mother enrolled me in etiquette classes for proper young ladies. Ballroom dancing was good and nice, but being a proper young lady wasn’t much my forte.”

Penny laughed lightly. “You and Talbott are good together, you know? Like a proper romantic story waiting to happen.”

“I’ve never been one for romantic stories, the damsel is always in distress,” Alexus said, none-so-dismissively, but she did shrug off the comparison.

“Is that so? I would have thought you loved something with a dashing hero, such as yourself.”

“Does that make Talbott the damsel?” Barnaby asked, quite seriously, which made Penny and Alexus laugh.

“Yes, I imagine he is in this epic tale. Lord knows I put him in enough distress with my strategic gallivanting,” Alexus said, jokingly.

“Oh, is that what you would call it?”

They looked up as Talbott came back, a glass of water in one hand, a small plate of various fruits in the other. He set the glass down in front of Alexus before setting the bowl between them. She took a napkin and put it in her lap before grabbing one of the forks that was already on the table.

“Whatever do you mean?” she asked with fake innocence before stabbing her fork into a grape.

“You think your searchings for the Cursed Vaults is in anyway strategic. That’s a rich joke if I ever heard one,” he replied, just as politely.

She laughed before thoughtfully chewing on her grape as he continued.

“But you’re not wrong, you do cause me a good amount of distress when you do dangerous things.”

Alexus smiled at him. “It’s nice to hear you care.”

“I always care when you do dangerous things too, Alexus. You’re like a sister to me,” Barnaby interjected between them.

Alexus flushed a bit. “Oh,” she said, collecting herself. “That’s incredibly sweet of you, Barnaby.”

“We all get concerned when you fight curses, Alexus,” Penny said assuringly. “We might not all have the same romantically vested interest in you as Talbott, but we all care about you.”

Alexus looked down at the table, really, unable to look at any of them. Talbott knew she always got flustered with emotions, or anyone showing care about her. He knew she wasn’t used to it. She was used to missing brothers, fathers she never talked about, mothers who tried to send her off to boarding schools and etiquette classes. Talbott understood that better than anyone.

“Chin up, Alexus, it’s the truth,” he said softly.

She looked up, right at him, and there was a glistening in her eyes. It was something Talbott hadn’t seen in her since that day when he read poetry to her in the Hospital Wing, promising to walk the hard road with her anywhere she went. She had never been so vulnerable since then.

Alexus blinked once, composed herself in seconds before standing up. “I’m going to see what desserts are at the table. I’ll be back in a second,” she quickly excused herself before briskly walking away.

Talbott watched her retreating back until he could feel the stares of the other two at the table. He turned to them, seeing them examine him with close eyes. Or, at least, Penny was watching him with something knowing, while Barnaby watched Alexus before he, too, stood up and followed her, citing a desire for pastries.

“What?” Talbott asked Penny, perhaps more curtly than he intended.

“Careful, Talbott.”

He frowned. “Excuse me?”

“Be careful, Talbott.”

“Why?”

“Your smile.”

“What about my smile?” He was smiling? He didn’t even realize it, but as it faded from his lips, he understood. He was smiling at Alexus as she left. Just a soft one, not full beaming, but an adoring smile on his lips as he saw Alexus more clearly than he had for a long time.

“Your smile,” Penny repeated. “You look like you're about to fall in love.”

Making Out With VAV

Let me start off by saying I've been into VAV since June 2018 and they're coming to my city in a few months. I will fucking die when I see them okay. On an unrelated note the photos with them are like $40 each and if you want one with each member its $250 (which is more expensive than the vvip tickets!) Ugh should I get them all or do 1? I'd feel terrible if one member's line for pics was shorter than another ya know UGH I'M GOING THRU IT PLS HELP ME

I got carried away with some of the members but tried to keep it short so I'm sorry others are longer than some. ^^' I’m not even Baron biased but why does he hurt me so...I’m so sorry Lou.

Thank you to the anon who requested this. As you all can tell, I have a weakness for VAV so I love writing them. - Cookie

St. Van:

I've deadass dreamed about making out with St. Van (who hasn't? you're lying if you said you didn't). He's such a fucking tease LIKE WHY SIR?

Anyway, I can imagine making out with him is ALWAYS hot and heavy, no matter where you are.

He'd much rather make out in his room or your place, where no one can interrupt because 11/10 times it's going to escalate to new heights.

Honestly, he has no preference when it comes to a "make out style". If you want it short and sweet, he's down. Rough with lots of tongue? Sign him up!

Doesn't like much dialog when he's in the mood, he'll catch your face in his hands and open mouth kiss you so you didn't get any mixed signals.

Likes to be dominate no matter what but he likes when you're sitting on his lap.

His hands, without fail, will always be in your hair - stroking, pulling, pushing it from your face.

If it's up, NOT FOR LONG 'cause he'll take it out the ponytail

That's on hair pulling kinks

Be prepared for lots of noise.

He's a moaner and WILL moan in your mouth if you nibble his lip or try to take over the dominate role.

He'll find it so so so hot when you're rough with him - his unoccupied hand will grip your thigh and force you to connect your bodies fully and he'll definitely grind up into you, pushing your hips down into him.

There's absolutely nothing gentle about making out with St. Van.

He won't bruise you but ALMOST.

He'll give you bedroom eyes when you pull away and smirk when he notice how turned on you are.

Leaning back into the couch with his head tilted to the side and breathing just a bit hard, he'll lick his lips disrespectfully. "I like when you're on top, baby girl, but I think we should take this to the bed, hm?"

(FUCK I GTG HOW AM I GONNA LOOK THIS MAN IN THE EYES WHEN I MEET HIM? IDK LORD HELP ME)

Baron:

Ok my sweet baby Baron.

I feel like he's a low key freak.

BUT A GENTLEMAN.

The first couple of make outs are sweet and precious.

He's very loving and kind so he won't be rough with you, like never.

Is so shy the first time, but will initiate it about maybe 3 weeks in the relationship - sooner if you're flirty.

Doesn't know what the hell you're comfortable with in this new step of your relationship. Picture this:

It's been a few weeks since you two made it official, even though you went through a month of the talking phase. You were flirty, but Chungheop was still shy with you on certain things. Today, the two of you had a fun-filled day at the amusement park. He had been eyeing you with heart eyes all day and you to him as well. It was hard not to, especially when you have a boyfriend as cute as him! As you were driving back to Seoul, the rain came down in buckets but Baron didn't want to go back to the dorms just yet. With cute puppy-eyes he asked you if he could come over to hang out for a few hours. There was absolutely no way for you to resist that.

So here you were, walking back into the living room after changing out of those ridiculously tight skinny jeans and into your pajama shorts. You traded your cute blouse for one of Baron's large shirts. He was lounging on the couch, scrolling through Netflix for something to kill the time with. Nothing was particularly catching his eye though. He didn't have to wait long until you flopped directly next to him and snuggled into his side.

As he took in your attire, his heart was pounding a thousand times a minute. You were too cute! When you two mutually decided on a Rom-Com, he got bored pretty quickly and shyly kissed your cheek.

With a smile, you turned to see him gazing at you. He leaned closer to your lips and hesitated only for a second before closing the distance. Softly, slowly would mold his lips to yours. Chungheop tilted his head to the side, softly exhaling while the arm on the back of the couch comes to the back of your neck.

Won't introduce tongue but will groan when you do it first.

Heavy breathing and a whole lot of gentle caressing.

His fingers slide down your cheek to cup your jaw before trailing to your cleavage only to settle on your hip.

He won't have a tight grip, it's always light but never in the same place for very long - boy has wondering hands.

Typically they're gripping and stroking.

Will quietly groan if you deepen the kiss or start touching his skin (neck, stomach).

His lips aren't ever rough with you

He'll like to take his time tasting you.

He's a nibbler/biter so expect him to bite gently on your lips a few times.

Also he'll pull some freaky moves out of nowhere like sucking on your tongue and smile cheekily when you moan into him.

Likes to keep you on your toes so some times, just to hear you gasp in surprise, he'll throw you on the bed/couch with a playful smirk.

Overall, he’s very sweet to you. “You look so cute like that, baby.”

Ace:

A whole tease. That's it. That's the post.

Jk. But Wooyoung is a big fan of a foreplay, like this is where he thrives!

He knows how to fuck with you too, so he'll initiate the kisses and will make them so fluttering and lingering that you'll be on the verge of trying to smash his lips to yours.

He'll pull away and be like "Uh-uh don't be so impatient, baby. We got all night~"

Might even laugh a little bit if you were getting frustrated with all his teasing.

He's the type to dominate everything about making out but it's in a sensual way (?)

like not rough or aggressive at all.

Will sneak his tongue in to spice it up after a few minutes just to catch you off guard.

Tongue

LOTS AND LOTS OF IT

French kissing

With a lot of moans from him - he’s pretty vocal but he’s not nearly as loud as you

Likes to suck - on any part of skin on your body. He’s not picky

Sloppy kisses since he has less self control than you think he does

He'll pick up the pace only to slow it down again and smile when you make noises into his mouth.

Lives for the moment that you finally break under all the teasing and yank his hair.

Ace likes to catch you off guard a lot so he'll sneak up on you when you're distracted and spin you around just to give you kisses.

He's a romantic at heart so back hugs that turn into making out on the kitchen counter are very common for you two.

Wooyoung wouldn't want to make-out in public spaces but a hello and goodbye peck when he's in disguise is alright.

He'll be mortified if you were in the middle of a heated make out session, his hands slowly creeping up your shirt only for the members to burst in.

He would be soooooo red in the face lol so yeah y'all would have to be ALONE ALONE to have any real freaky time.

Ayno:

(first off, how dare I use this gif)

Has zero self control when it comes to his s/o

As mentioned previously, Ayno is an ass man

So if you want him to jump your bones, just wear a flattering pair of skinny jeans or a tight skirt

He’ll literally follow you around like a puppy

Lots of gulping, narrowed eyes stuck to your hips and ass as you walked in front of him

When it comes to making out, he’s the same way

A kiss is never just one and done

NO MA’AM, he wants all the smoke

He knows you like how his lips are so he goes in for the kill immediately

No build up

He’ll catch your wrist and spin you to face him

As soon as you notice his body pressed into you, his lips are pushing and pulling you to fold into him

Who are you to deny him that?

Doesn’t waste any time with teasing - his tongue is already putting in work

Likes to cradle your head and tilt it up to him

Wants to hear you whimper and moan breathlessly into him

Always likes to break the kiss to stare at you with an intensity that has your blood boiling

But is soooo playful

Might smirk and leave you hanging

Some times he’ll purposefully attack your mouth when you two really shouldn’t be kissing like when you went to his parent’s house

Enjoys the thrill of getting touchy when you guys could be caught any moment

A little bit of an exhibitionist

He’ll tickle you or nuzzle you to cut some of the sexual tension or say something to make you giggle as he’s pressing kisses on your cheeks

Looooves to handle you if you’d let him

REALLY loves when you handle him too!!!

That one time when you pushed him on the couch, straddled him and yanked his hair, he swore that he was in heaven.

He’ll easily submit to you if you want him too

But he’ll make you work for it

Licking your lips, neck

Yoonho will beg you to let him put hickeys on you and when you agree, he’ll jump on you that second

Jacob:

HOt, heavy, messy, passionate all the time with no build up or warning for you at all.

Jacob likes to keep you guessing so he'll initiate a make-out just about damn near everywhere and at any given time.

He honestly doesn't care whose in the room, unless it was like yours or his family.

The members and other staff?

Yeah, doesn't matter - if he wants to kiss you then he will.

If they don't wanna see it, they better leave because he won't stop unless you want him to ;)

Making out isn’t just kissing for him - it’s a prelude to the nasty-ness that’s about to come

So if you try to break the kiss to go answer your phone, he’s thoroughly offended and will drag you back to his lips

The type to walk in, no words, and catch the back of your neck with his large hand

Likes to make out with you against surfaces with him standing up

He’ll tell you he thinks it’s really hot when you wrap your legs around his waist

A bit of a size kink because he loves to corner you and pin you to the wall/bed and hover over you

You...have absolutely no complaints so...

He’s the dominate role even in making out

But just so gentle and loving that it makes you swoon

Rarely makes a sound other than breathing heavily, humming or growling

Face grabbing!!!!!

100% of the time will grind into you

Since his body is always smashed against yours, he doesn’t need to move much for you two to feel the friction

Has a habit of biting his lip and looking to the sky to grab his composure

Likes your attention on him so he’ll grab your jaw

Playful but not as Ayno

Chuckles when he accidentally tickles you but easily refocuses your attention to the matter at hand:

His tongue in your mouth

Lou:

Shy baby won’t initiate any make-outs until later in the relationship

Probably like 3-4 months into it

Doesn’t mean he doesn’t like making out

Exactly the opposite actually

Hosung loves the intimacy of making out with his partner and finds it really romantic

Is very soft about the entire thing

Nearly melts into a puddle when you kiss him out of nowhere, literal hearts in his eyes

Light pecks - just lips pressed against each other the first few seconds then he’ll slowly move and close his eyes

Hardly any freaky shit until he’s more comfortable with you

When he is comfortable, he’s still very sweet and loving but will be a bit of a tease

Likes to pull away from you and watch you chase his lips

Will play innocent when you get upset that he won’t move against you

Makes you work for it ‘cause he’s a bit of a brat

His hand kink will show during make outs

As soon as your hands touch him under his shirt, he’s a mess

Loud, deep groans and sucking his breath

Wants to watch you so he’ll love it when you’re in his lap

Lots of slow, teasing kisses until he can feel you grind into him

“Do that again.”

Knows how deep his voice can get so when he figures out it’s a turn on for you, he won’t shut up

“If you keep kissing me like that, I’ll have to take you in the room.”

“Unless you want me to strip you right here on the couch?”

“Princess, you’re eager hm? Mhm, I like that~”

You try your best to shut him up but the more you do, the more he’ll do also

He doesn’t prefer boobs over ass or vice versa but he tends to find his hands are constantly caressing your ass and waist a lot

Is hardly ever rough with you but will appreciate a few bites and sharp grips from your hands

Ziu:

Playful then turns hot and heavy.

Heejun likes to goof off so making out will start off very innocent.

You two could be just talking and laughing and he'll strike- tickling you and tackling you onto the couch.

Eventually, it'll die down and as you were giggling and telling him he was crushing you under his weight, he'd be too busy staring at you to hear you.

In a split second, he leaned down and gave you a soft kiss - something to convey what he was thinking at the moment.

He had no intentions of going past that but when he felt your arms wrap around his shoulders, thin fingers stroking the back of his neck and down his back, it sends shivers down his spine.

Ziu knows how big he is, and he is very cautious of you as well so he won't be rough with you unless there's a special reason.

Usually, his hands stay on your body, running patterns down your sides but they'll always settle on the swell of your hips or your ass.

He'll definitely man-handle you a bit - pulling you on to him, pushing you into the couch/bed.

Some times he forgets how strong he is so his kisses suddenly turn very passionate, and in turn kind of sloppy.

Open mouth kisses with lots of tongue clashing.

Likes a little bit of pain

Your nails scratching his back, yanking on his hair - as long as there’s no blood

He's pretty vocal, groaning and whispering sweet words in your ear.

Dirty talk is only for rough sex so most times he'll be just a big ball of love and sensual, lingering kisses.

Then, when you want to deepen the kiss, he'll leave you hanging out of literally nowhere and look at you like you're crazy for trying to get freaky in the dorm living room when any of his members could walk in.

"We're not doing any of what you're thinking on this couch, little lady."

Finds it hilarious how sexually frustrated he can get you though, so he'll leave you hanging a lot more than you want lol.

Will probably laugh in your face when you pout and curse him for turning you on with no intention to finish
