I tell myself you don't mean a thing and what we got got no hold on me but when you're not there, I just crumble I tell myself I don't care that much but I feel like I die 'till I feel your touch only love, only love can hurt like this say I wouldn't care if you walked away but every time you're there I'm begging you to stay when you come close, I just tremble and every time, every time you go it's like a knife that cuts right to my soul

This Week in BL - Taiwan has one show, but that's all they need

Organized, in each category, with ones I'm enjoying most at the top.

April 2024 Wk 1

Ongoing Series - Thai

Two Worlds (Thurs IQIYI) ep 4 of 10 - I don’t say this often but I LOVE this love triangle. The longing gazes = chef's kiss. I like that we are finally getting flashbacks to Tai’s side of the love affaire. This show remains highly engaging. So pleased for MaxNat.  

Deep Night (Thurs iQiyi) ep 5 of 8 - More lesbians! Yay! Meanwhile, when our leads make up they make out! (Yes I’m proud of myself.) I think this might be BLs first rooftop sex scene. We’ve reached new heights, BLabies. (Yes I’m proud of that too.) Anygay, basically a soap opera at this point, I'm not thrilled but I don’t mind.

"Do you apologize for being straight?"

City of Stars (Fri iQIYI) ep 10 of 12 - It was lovely. Very well done celebrity leaving the closet ep. Nice ensemble work too. Next week is doom! As expected. 

Only Boo! (Sun YouTube) ep 1 of 12 - New main couple for GMMTV in an idol romance about a boy who dances good and a food stand vendor. It’s fine but overly very pulp feeling for something from GMMTV. I'm a little concerned.

1000 Years Old (Thurs iQIYI) ep 8 of 12 - meh.

To Be Continued (Sat C3 Thailand grey) ep 7 of 8 - Never turned up on my usual sites. So will have to wait until next week. 

Ongoing Series - Not Thai

Unknown (Taiwan Tues YouTube & Viki) ep 7 of 11 - Qian was, indeed, the one who couldn’t let go. This show is fucking fantastic. It's the best thing I'm watching right now by a mile.

Jazz for Two (Korea Gaga/grey) eps 3-8fin - The bully and the blue-haired drummer side pairing were great. I hated the father. Hated him so much. Our main tsundere seme was a bit too tsundere for me. I was v annoyed by the time he finally softened. I'm amused by all the ways they finagled boys kissin-but-not-kissing in the first half of this show. 2024's "pan around the back of the head" has now become a "dipping of the brolly." We did, however, eventually get an okay kiss.

Honestly?

This was basically what I wanted from Given and didn’t get. So I’m pleased. The music still wasn't great, but you can skip those bits. A solid enemies to lovers BL, where the sins of brothers' past haunts the present. Great optics, decent chemistry, and a tidy script even if tsundere characterization went a bit extreme in some cases. 8/10 RECOMMENDED trigger for suicide

Love is Better the Second Time Around AKA Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto (Japan Weds Gaga) ep 5 of 6 - We got the past betrayal in detail and it was decently bad. Bitterness understood. Too soon to live together! The BL U-Haul strikes again. I do like their weird curry passive aggressive argument. This is an interesting show. Do I LOVE it? No. But I think I like it.

On a not-really-related note: adoption, including adult adoption, is actually pretty common in Japan (comparatively). It's often tied to business scionism.

My Strawberry Film (Japan Thurs Gaga) ep 8fin - It all turned out to be a tragic GL in the end. Not BL = not my problem. No rating. I will forget its existence right about… now. 

Love is like a Cat (Korea Mon Viki) eps 1-2 of 12 - Okay, weirdly kinky with the head scratching. Not much has happened and I’m not wild about what has. 

It's done, ready to binge, but I suck

What Did You Eat Yesterday Season 2 AKA Kinou Nani Tabeta? Season 2 (Japan Gaga) 10 eps

It's airing but...

We Are (Weds GMMTV iQIYI) ep 1 of 16 - University ensemble BL featuring PondPhuwin, WinnySatang, AouBoom, MarcPawinPoon - basically the good kind of messy gay friendship group (so more My Engineer and less Only Friends). Looks a bit like the Kiss series but everyone is queer. I'm IN but I need my other computer and I'm traveling as usual. So I'll get caught up next week and probably won't regularly be able to watch this one.

Graduation Countdown (Taiwan YouTube) - It's too much for me to keep up with 2 minute verticals, I don't have that kind of TikTok endurance training.

A Secretly Love (Thai Sat WeTV grey) 10 eps - Completed. Worth watching?

Lady Boy Friends (Thai WeTV grey) 16 eps - reminds me a bit too much of Diary of Tootsies only high school. Not my thing. DNF unless it turns a corner and is truly amazing.

Kiseki Chapter 2 (Sun iQIYI) 6 eps - It’s so boring DNFed at 2.

Close Friend Season 3: Soju Bomb! (Weds iQIYI) 6 - The problem with situational comedy BL is it must be situational, comedic and a BL. This show gets 1 of 3 claims correct. 33% is not a passing grade. Dropped at 3.

In the news

Takumi-kun Series 6: Nagai Nagai Monogatari is getting the undeserved honor of Furritsubs. Follow them for details. Tip 'em if you like 'em. (Will I watch it? Oh, probably. Damn it.)

Then Next Prince turned out to be a trailer only. Word on the webs is we will be lucky if we get it this year. It’s BL Princess Diaries. Jimmy has a new pairing (that boy from Night Dream) which is... interesting. All in all, this show does not look good. Pretty but not good.

Next Week Looks Like This:

4/11 Gray Shelter AKA Gray Currents (Korea ????) 4 eps - SooHyuk is only just surviving and reunites with YoonDae, an old friend. They end up living together. One of the leads is played by Choco of Choco Milk Shake.

4/12 Living With Him AKA Kare no Iru Seikatsu (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - Kindly Ryota goes off to uni only to find his new roommate is his childhood bestie, Kazuhito. Kazuhito doesn’t have a girlfriend and Ryota tries to help him figure out why, they fall in love along the way. Same director as Old Fashion Cupcake.

Still to Come in April

4/18 At 25:00, in Alaska AKA 25 Ji, Akasaka de (Japan Gaga) 10 eps - Yuki lands his first starring role in a BL drama alongside superstar Asami (previously his senior at uni). Said superstar suggests they form a sham relationship until filming concludes. As they actually begin to fall in love, the spotlight begins to burn. I think I've seen this before (joke) and also the trailer doesn't inspire confidence.

4/26 My Stand-In (Thai iQIYI) 12 eps - adaptation of Chinese novel "Professional Body Double" by Shui Qiang Cheng. Stars Up (Lovely Writer) and Poom (Bake Me Please) directed by the same team as KP (not a recommendation IMHO - my biggest criticism of that show was the clashing directing styles). This one looks well complicated, lemme try: Joe is a stuntman for famous actor Tong. Joe falls in love with Ming but Ming sees Joe as nothing more than a Tong-replacement. After learning this horrible truth, Joe dies. Joe then wakes up in the body of another man also named Joe. He manages to rebuild the same life as before—with the same people eventually re-meeting Ming. Ming wants Joe back but Joe doesn't understand why. But Ming seems to know what's going on and wants to give him some kind of explanation.

I'm exhausted just trying to describe the plot.

Knock-Knock Boys (Thai WeTV) - 4 college friends conspire to help their friend lose his virginity. Familiar faces like Seng (yes, Billy's previous partner) and Best, news here.

Upcoming BLs for 2024 are listed here. This list is not kept updated, so please leave a comment if you know something new or RP with additions.

NOTE: It looks like one of my personal favorites of last year Unintentional Love Story is getting a spin off!

Weird.

First of all and before anything else, good morning to me (It's currently 3:28pm for me lol) i set my alarm right at 9:00pm KST so waking up to my baby bunny is just

Today JK really said "It's OT7 for y'all bitches" love to see that, he also talked about GOLDEN and how it was a term used to describe him, like golden closet

Uhm he also said that he wrote a poem called "Golden" and spoke about the present which to him was a golden time. I can't believe he didn't mention golden maknae T-T Unless i missed that part.. But anygays, ah! Muy precioso 💜

Now the point of this post is something that i might've mentioned before but i've seen it today again and i was scratching my head. I'm not gonna mention names, i'm not gonna say what they do as to not narrow the possible search for who this is, but one thing i can say is that they're a Jikooker.

Now don't get me wrong if you want to follow solo accounts that are unproblematic, just post about X member, hype them up, without being disrespectful to other members, then you do you again i'm not going with a herd mentality the whole "I don't like this person so unfollow them, report them and block them" to me as long as there's nothing problematic then you do you.

The thing is that this person for a while now but even today has been liking and reposting very solo-ish posts, the type of posts being mad about comments asking JK to play this or that member's songs, saying that this live should've been about him yada yada, and this is just MY take, my non-solo take, feel free to agree or disagree.

The thing is, JK himself suggested to play songs, if members songs weren't suggested then other artist's songs would've been suggested, this is not the first time he puts on music on his lives and if anything to me JK looked really happy listening to the different members songs, he even said that he misses the members and this is not even the first time he reminds us that he is looking forward to 2025 when they will all reunite again, yet some people are having their panties on a twist that people talk about 2025.

You say that the live was supposed to be about him and his upcoming album and my question to you is, what in a 1h+ live can he say about an album that is yet to be released without spoiling anything? Am i missing a chapter here or did any other member talk for 1h about an album that is yet to come out? The only thing we know so far about the album is that the design, what comes in it, there are 3 different version + the WV one, there are 11 tracks including 3D, Seven Explicit and Clean version. So exactly what do you want him to tell you and i like to say that again WITHOUT SPOILING his album?

I want to also remind you that he was on Stationhead for 3 days where he took the opportunity to talk about 3D so again making him repeat the same things he said during those 3 days will just be repetitive for him. Why can't we just respect the fact that JK actually loves his members and genuinely wants to be reunited with them later and that he actually appreciates listening to their songs and the different colors they each have?

There's just too much projection here, just because YOU want him to talk about himself it doesn't mean that HE is uncomfortable talking about other things. A little reminder that JK had no problem calling out problematic comments before and even said that he is ignoring some comments, so instead of treating him like a child who can't make a decision for himself, know that if JK wanted this live to be about his album only, that is coming on November 3rd in case you forgot, he would've done that, he would've actually said that today's live he wants to focus on talking about it.

I want to take this opportunity to bring back something that had me rolling my eyes so far back i could almost see my brain. When there was talk about a world tour and people gave a logical explanation as to why it MIGHT not be possible based on JK's words, not anyone else's. Yet some people took a very solo-ish position to the matter bringing up the subject about MS and how he is still young and doesn't have to enlist right now that we can't make the decision for him when HE himself talked about the subject and made it clear that he too will be enlisting so they can all come back in 2025. (And by the way that one person liked and reposted those type of posts too..)

I don't know if people realize that by projecting sometimes you're basically discrediting a member's own words and wishes, we are here to listen to them and listen to what they want us to understand, yes i don't get to make decisions for them but YOU also don't get to do that.

Why don't you take the opportunity of using the remaining time for the album release to prepare questions you want to ask him about the album cause by then he would be able to talk a lot more about it, you can even prepare some questions for the possibility of him coming live after his KBS show later? Like instead of dramatizing every situation, think wisely, don't think with your own selfish feelings and remember that as much as you are a human and have feelings and needs, JK does too, he doesn't have to accommodate to what YOU want.

And again and again and again, JK is a grown up, i don't know how many times he needs to tell you, to show you, for you to understand that he isn't on a leash, he will do whatever he wants and if he doesn't like something he will simply not do it there's no gun pointing at his head to do something.

I don't know how do people even find time to whine when they're watching his live and seeing him happy, smiling, i find myself dumbly smiling back no time for drama, i'm just happy to see him on a lengthy live after a long time, i'm just happy to be sitting here watching him sipping on his concoctions, enjoying the music, singing, showing us his lil Tiktok corner, etc..

Please learn from him and grow tf up.

Salutation.

(I might do another post later and i say i MIGHT because this is a cultural one and people never seem to be ready to accept culture diversity --")

Side note: STREAM 3D AND PREPARE PLAYLISTS FOR GOLDEN!!!!

[ask-katima]

Am I becoming semi popular? The likes have been increasing…/pos

Anygays. I promised(?) a ramble about Error-Katima, so here goes!

She wears less clothes because of sensory issues, she doesn’t like the feeling of clothes too much, but she wants to stay warm and of course she wants to stay “family friendly” in her own words- meaning she doesn’t want to walk around butt nakey XD.

She now has Error powers! Yay?… well, she became something she was most afraid of.. an Error. She hates herself more than ever now, if you ever see her on the ground huddled up… she is regretting her life choices and trying not to do an Ink with her still intact soul.. she is near her brink of suffering and depression. Might as well end her misery… no?

The community was against her death… but this is a worse fate, isn’t it?

… back to the rant- she no longer wears a shirt nor shoes thanks to the sensory issues, she will not do some stuff that she is supposed to or asked to. If you ask her for a hug or reach out for a handshake she will just stay standing idly looking at you like you’re from another planet with that big smile plastered on her skull. Yeah she just won’t touch you..

If you show her a piece of fabric she will look it over first, try poking it… and only after that she will fully touch it, she will try it out.

Oh and and! She’s fully non-verbal 24/7 unless you get her very angry or uncomfortable, she will voice those problems… she has a very heavy case of Error-Speak though.. example:

0h.. h-$-h3ll0 w0rld.. n4m35 K471m4

(Oh.. h-h-hello world.. names Katima)

Yeah…. She needs help alright! Heh, but the problem is this error-ification is irreversible…. Good luck trying to soothe her wounds my pals =)

(Also I’ll try constantly formatting my words vs Katimas so it’s easily understood who is who.)

FUCK OFF ALREADY AND LET ME LIVE NORMALLY…. You torture me, but why. WHY NOT SOMEONE ELSE. I have so much on my plate already…

[to-the-moon-angel69]

can i just quickly rant about kpop bcuz if i do in another platform *coughinstagramcough* i feel like i would get murdered??

yes

ok

fuck

kpop is amazing at first for me. it all started in 2018 and i don’t regret it. some of the songs are soulless, but how many songs are, y’know? But the ones which do have depth are just amazing. I recommend Stray Kids, Ateez, Nmixx and Gidle.

the problem is the fandom is horrendous. i fucking hate them and constantly hate on each other. which becomes a problem for me to try to find friends without them judging my opinions. My opinions could be controversial but they are not borderline illegal like bro what??

-Stop bullying the ‘bully’-

Many idols have been falsely accused for bullying. some for not “opening a door for someone”, some got randomly accused and some even got kicked out of a group bcuz of misunderstandings and false accusations. People start crying wolf when it finally happens. When they get kicked out or announced as innocent. But guess what they were doing during all of that? Bully the shit out of all of these idols. like bro. stop being a fucking hypocrite and start acting logically, unless that’s too fucking hard for you. I’m not a Blackpink stan and stopped being a BTS stan. i don’t hate them nor love them. they’re music is good but some artists are better. The fact that some kpop stans are fucking shitting on them day and night as if it won’t hurt them?? like, you don’t like them, good but stfu. They are real people. If you were a public figure, you wouldn’t want death threats being thrown at you and your family, insults on dead relatives and being called a slut?? like come on. this is why so many idols are going on mental health breaks or even unalive themselves. Reason one why i hate stans

-Kpop idols are not fucking babies-

One thing that i’ve seen being told is that “they’re korean, they wouldn’t know about this” NOT UNTIL THIS IDOL IS FUCKING HALF AMERICAN AND 24/7 ON THE INTERNET!! like, Somi who is half korean and half canadian promoted starbucks during a boycott. She can do whatever she wants but people will also think that she’s a Isreal supporter. She didn’t apologize and just took out the video. like fuck, people and so many people were excusing her action and it would be time to “educate” her. Many of these idols aren’t fucking babies. Good exemple could be RM from BTS and his knowledge of the world. Like bro, it’s not that hard to make a google search.

Another scandal that could be in this category is when some idols have done some racist stuff. I don’t excuse it at all but i saw a video of japanese citizens not even know what the n@zi symbol looks like. So korean people who you barely hear about when it comes the WW2, how would they know. Yet still, some idols do some horrible racist shit and some get away with it. Like BTS, Twice, Jessi and more. Some are babied thinking that “aw they wouldn’t know” but guess dafuq what? THEY STILL SAY THAT SHIT ABOUT THE FUCKING ENGLISH SPEAKING MEMBERS. When i say english speaking, 9/10 they are from a western country. I’m saying it, my favourite group Stray Kids have done some shit but have said sorry immediately. without batting an eye. One of them even put it as there messaging app bio so that the company wouldn’t alter their response. This is what they should do. Educate themselves and understand why they are getting the hate. not babied or bullied.

there’s a balance. they should understand what they did was wrong and understand the consequences of their actions. you don’t know how many fans they lost and futures haters they got.

fuck the kpop stans cuz i can’t even have a fucking convo with them.

anygay, have a nice day.

[elle-smells]

ok but the whole thing with fatou and kieu my made me think of how much it sucks to be in a friend group that does the whole “wait lemme check them out to see if they’re good enough to date you” thing but instead of being a sorta joke when you actually genuinely care for your friend and want to make sure they’re getting what they deserve (*cough* Ava), instead of that it becomes kinda toxic. It reminded me a lot of my own, I guees you could call it, friend group and this thing they have (I say “they” bcs its always made me and another girl feel kinda iffy) about sending photos of the people they are crushing on and then the entire group chat dragging the hell out of them, saying the person has horrible taste and “why would you ever be with that person that is not up to MY standards even though Im not the one interested in them anyways”, like bro chill. I’ve seen it happen so many times and it borderline doesnt feel like a joke anymore and you always see the person backing up and saying “oh I didnt like them that much anyways, but they are a nice person and I just thought....nvm” and its like NO you do you, you dont have to feell bad about liking someone in your own friend group tf??? if you like them go for it, who cares if your friend thinks they’re not hot enough.

Magic in the Air: Chapter 1

Description: In a world where magic exists everywhere and most people have it in one way or another, six friends are left without it. Still, they can’t help but dream for the chance to cast spells and charms on their own. Too bad dreams like that don’t come true...do they?

Parings: eventual roceit, eventual analogical, eventual intruality, platonic DRLAMP

Warnings: food mention (please let me know if I missed any or if you want something tagged)

Word Count: 1,608

Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4, Chapter 5, Chapter 6, Chapter 7, Chapter 8, Chapter 9

Magic. It used to be something only in fairytales. Just a fantasy thought up by a storyteller. A dream for the dreamers, an inspiration for the writers, a muse for the artists. But now, magic was everywhere. No one really remembered how it was discovered, or who it was who first started normalizing its use in everyday life, but it had been around long enough for it to be incorporated into everything. The very roots of the trees held it, cultivated by decades of growth and nutrition spells. Magic had invaded every nook of modern society, nestling itself in as if magic had always been there. And maybe it had.

Most everyone enjoyed being able to benefit from pre-made cleaning charms and special-made foods and drinks with different helpful spells (to give you energy, warmth, a sense of peace, etc). Very few held no magic at all; whether their skills lay in charms, spells, or potions, most everyone had some sort of magic ability.

Among the few who had no magic were six high-school friends, now college housemates: Logan Crofters, Patton Hart, Virgil Storm, Dee Black, and the twins Roman and Remus Prince. They had, of course, given up on the hope of developing magic abilities a long time ago. Everyone knew that if you didn’t develop magic as a child, it was basically impossible to learn it later on. But, naturally, the six couldn’t help but dream about a day when they’d be able to perform spells and charms; maybe even gain a “special skill” that didn’t need a spell to work, unique to their personalities. Too bad dreams like that don’t come true…

Roman Prince sighed happily as he made his way home from class, a cup of hot coffee in his hand. He was glad that he had remembered to add the heating charm to his order this time (keeping his coffee hot hours longer than it normally would); otherwise, he’d have had to throw it away by now. At the thought he sighed once again, this time more in longing than in happiness. Here he was, living in a modern-day fairy-tale, and he couldn’t even perform magic! It didn’t matter that none of his five housemates could either, or that he got along just fine without doing magic; he still wished for something more. Just think of the possibilities; what if he could cast heating spells and cleaning charms himself? As he neared the front door of his house, however, he shook himself from these thoughts. There was no time to dwell on what couldn’t be changed. At least not right now. Right now, Roman had a project to work on.

For weeks now, Roman had been working on designing the perfect prop for a special contest they were holding at his university. Basically, it was to promote the upcoming play (and get non-theatre students more interested in coming to watch it). Everyone who entered was told to design the same prop and was given a picture of what it should approximately look like (an intricate looking book that Roman knew was a key part of the play since he was in it). The best-designed prop would be featured and used in the play, and Roman was almost done!

Naturally, such a contest was perfect for him. You see, Roman hadn’t gotten much of a chance to show off his art skills recently, since he devoted most of his time to his actual major…acting. But he did have them—art skills that is. At least, he’d like to think he had art skills. Waving a short hello to Dee, Logan, and Patton, who were all in the kitchen, he headed up to his room and got to work.

“Roman? Supper’s ready, kiddo.” A voice (most definitely Patton’s) called from the other side of Roman’s closed door a couple hours later. However, Roman only muttered out a short response, too engrossed in his work to realize he was speaking too quietly for Patton to hear. He felt a certain passion as he worked, putting special attention into even the tiniest details, too focused to notice time slipping away. Even if he didn’t win, it felt so good to create something again. He had almost forgotten how much fun it was to craft props; to see something he worked so hard to create finally start to look like the picture in his head. He felt a weird, fuzzy feeling start to grow in his chest as he continued. However, too engrossed to acknowledge the growing feeling, he continued with his project until another knock rang throughout his room.

“Hey, bro bro! Patton sent me to get you. Your food is getting cold!” Remus yelled from the other side. Roman sighed, feeling the pleasant warm feeling fade as he attempted to ignore his brother.

“Ro, if you don’t come out, I’ll tell Dee Dee your little secret~” Remus sang, finally making Roman groan and stand.

“Don’t you dare.” He grumbled, swinging open his door.

“What’s that? You dare me?” Remus smirked, backing away slowly. Roman narrowed his eyes at the other.

“Remus…” he warned glaring. Remus stuck out his tongue out at Roman before turning and barreling back down the hall. Already expecting it, Roman was hot on his heels as they careened into the kitchen, startling the four others at the dining table.

“Dee-”, Remus yelled, just before Roman clamped a hand over his mouth.

“Um, you guys good?” Virgil spoke up, raising an eyebrow at the brothers.

“Absolutely fi—Remus, gross!” Roman exclaimed, cutting himself off when he felt a warm slimy thing touch his hand. Remus stuck his tongue out at his brother, before slinking off to take his seat between Virgil and Logan. Roman eyed his brother warily as he wiped his saliva-covered hand on his jeans, taking his own place between Virgil and Dee. Diligently ignoring Dee’s questioning gaze, Roman instead cleared his throat and addressed the table.

“Um, sorry to keep everyone waiting.” he apologized, watching Patton heat up everyone’s food. “I got caught up in my work.”

“It’s no problem, kiddo. Just make sure you’re taking breaks!” Patton replied in his normal cheery manner as he set everyone’s dinner in front of them. As soon as the plate was set down, Roman started to gulp down his food as fast as he could.

“Whoa, kiddo, slow down. We have movie night tonight, so there’s no rush.” Patton reminded him, furrowing his eyebrows. Roman managed to swallow his half-chewed mouthful before sighing. It’s not that he didn’t want to spend “family time” (as Patton had dubbed the time all 6 spent together after getting home). After all, that meant more time Dee. Er, not that Roman cared about that. Or, well, not to say he didn’t enjoy spending time with the others, just not with Dee specifically. Well, yes, with Dee, but just as much as he enjoyed spending time with anybody else… Um, anygay, he was just so close to finishing his project!

“I’m sorry, Padre, but I’ll have to pass on movie night. I’m almost done with my prop!” Patton frowned in disappointment, making a touch of guilt rise in Roman’s gut. He had ranted about this project enough for the rest of the household to know that the prop wasn’t actually due for another two days. Technically, he would have time to finish it later, but he was feeling inspired now. He couldn’t very well put inspiration on hold.

“Roman.” A silky voice spoke up next to him. Roman turned to find Dee gazing at him, tilting his head in the most adorable way he had ever seen. Wait no, not adorable. He certainly didn’t think Dee was adorable and of course he didn’t have crush on the sneaky little—

“Ro,” Dee purred again, a suspicious smile tugging at his lips. “Why don’t you tell us about your prop? I’m sure we’d all love to hear about it.”

“You—really?” Roman asked, lighting up. Dee nodded somewhat fondly after shooting a glare at Virgil, who tried to suppress a groan. Vaguely, Roman wondered if this was just a trick to get Roman to talk long enough to forget he had been working and come to movie night… this method of Dee’s may or may not have worked a few times before. But when Dee gave him an encouraging (although somehow still sneaky-looking) smile, Roman melted, launching into how his work had been going so far.

As he continued, he grew more and more passionate, remembering how much hard work he’d put into the prop so far. He spoke of how he meticulously planned the book’s shape and color scheme before sketching it multiple times; about constructing the base, about painting it, about the details he was still working on adding. As his passion grew, so did the warm fuzzy feeling that had dwindled to almost nothing during dinner. It grew so intense that not even waving his hands around, like he normally did when he was excited, dispelled the energy. Instead, he got up, beginning to pacing as he talked, still adamantly using his hands. As he did this, the pressure finally eased slightly, not quite fading, but instead becoming a steady constant.

In fact, Roman was so busy pacing, so focused on his passionate rant and the fuzzy feeling it brought, that he didn’t notice the others frantically calling his name until Logan grabbed his arm rather forcefully. Roman was about to protest at the tight grip (“Geez, Lo, overboard much?”) when he realized what everyone was yelling about. All around him, everything was… floating.

The famILY

TW: Deceit (but he's a good danger noodle)

Pairs: Prinxiety, Logicality, JoanxTalyn

//

"thanks again for all your help, Joan." Thomas thanks his non-binary friend for helping him finalize the new Sanders Sides video, engulfing them in a warm embrace.

"it's no problem, Thomas. Now, I better get going. Talyn and I have a date night this evening." Joan shoots Thomas a quick smile before leaving their best friend's apartment.

The second the door shuts closed, five figures pop up from each of their designated corners.

"everyone's going to hate the new video, Thomas." Deceit is the first to speak up.

"that's nice to know, Dee." Thomas grins at the lying trait, having already been used to his way of speaking in lies.

"you do such a great job at portraying us, kiddo!" Patton comments, "it's like looking at a mirror when you're in my costume."

"Patton, dear, you do realize we all have the same face, yes?" Logan reminds his precious boyfriend, a look of fondness evident on his face.

"why, of course I do, Loganberry!"

"but none of you are as handsome as me." Roman states confidently, which earns him a smack to the shoulder from his beloved emo partner, Virgil, "oh come on, Storm Cloud, it's true!"

"in Thomas' dreams." the darkly dressed trait points out, "as for in the real world? Sorry mi amor, but I may have to disagree with you."

The fanciful side huffs in defeat, but a proud smile forms on his lips at hearing his counterpart call him "my love" in Spanish. He's definitely been learning a thing or two from him.

"anyone up for a movie night?" Thomas suggests, looking at each Side for a response.

He receives a chorus of agreements the moment the words left his mouth.

"YES!"

"I wouldn't like that."

"sure"

"yes please!"

"shouldn't you be catching up on some well deserved rest after working yourself up for hours from filming and editing the new video?" Logan states in a soft and gentle manner, not really opposed to the idea of a movie night but is concerned for his host's health. He knows the fans would agree with him.

"it's alright, Lo, I'll just sleep-in tomorrow. You can lecture me about having a consistent sleeping schedule later. For now, let's change into our onesies and grab some popcorn!"

"well then, in that case," in an instant, Logan is changed into his unicorn onesie, "you can consider me down for this evening's film affair."

The moral Side squeals in excitement and quickly changes into his cat onesie, followed by Roman appearing in a lion onesie, Virgil in a black and purple dragon onesie, and finally Deceit who, surprisingly, is sporting a Scooby Doo onesie, complete with a collar and a name tag.

Thomas excuses himself for a moment to change, and he comes back in his Pikachu onesie, finding Patton already filling up three big bowls with popcorn in the kitchen as the others situate themselves on the couch and debate on what movie they should watch.

Of course, they end up having a Disney marathon, per Roman's request. And everyone just agrees because, hey, it's Disney.

That's how Thomas ends up falling asleep with his Creativity and Anxiety cuddling on his left, his Logic and Morality cuddling on his right, and his favorite slimy boi stretched across all of them, with him in the middle being surrounded by his lovely famILY.

And if a certain Starbucks loving persona finds them like that and takes a quick selfie with them in the background, then no one has to know about it except himself.

Oh how I'd love for someone to draw the last scene to add more cuteness to this short fic 😆

Anygays, what are you thoughts on this? Do you like it? Should I continue writing stuff like this? Tell me 😊 I'd love to know ❤

Magical Machines In RoL: A short Round-Up

Shortening because this is long.

There’s a surprising number of  magical or mysterious devices we keep encountering:

The Pin in one of the Cat-Girls temple in Moon Over Soho

The Cunning Device in A Rare Book of Cunning Device

Lesley’s Phone-Bomb in The Hanging Tree

“Mary Engine”, (Might be related to Ada Lovelace’s design, as per Peter’s observations, might be some type of early calculator?)

“Some Type of Device” Babbage (Who worked with Lovelace) was working on for the Folly, according to Nightingale

And then there’s Lady Helena’s insistence that her tradition’s Magic Salons go back to Caroline from Ansbach, who, Peter notes, also hung about with one Gottfried Willhelm Leibniz (Who was – hopefully – not a machine, though he did write like he was running out of time and was generally low-key bonkers)

First three are kind of ??? so let’s look at the last three (+) instead

Why the fuck is Leibniz relevant for us?

Now, I’m not one for Great-Man-Histroy, but even I have to admit that Leibniz was, again, kind of off-the-Weird-Genius-charts. If you, say, want a literary or historical counterweight to Isaac Newton in Allsasser-Excentric-Genuis-Bullshit, he’s the man. Literally. Anygays. There are five(ish) things that connect Leibniz to the rest of the RoL Universe;

He’s connected with Caroline from Ansbach, as stated above

He dabbled in alchemy (well, he dabbled in everything)

He got into an academic bitch fight with Isaac Newton (Because either on of them plagiarized the other or they just invented the same Important Math Thing at roughtly the same time – we will never know ~~~)

He either  invented the binary code*  (aka thing that makes Computers go be-bop) or greatly improved it/anticipated a bunch of logic-probelms with it, depending on who you ask

He revolutionized early calculators by inventing the Leibniz Wheel (aka, the things that made Calculators go shrrrrrrrrrr for 200 years before things got funky and analytical)

(All of this is somewhere between the late 1660s – 1716s) (* same problem of the )

Early Calculators and Leibniz Wheels

(Aka a long and rambly part that you can skip if you don’t want to learn about Fancy Early Tech)

Early Calculators where mostly stuff like fancy modefied Abaci, but in the 1640s this french dude Pascal build an Arithmetic Machine, which used interlockign wheels to do what it says on the tin crunch numbers. This machine was both very cool and very suck-tastic; it could do math for you (yay); But it was also super expensive, hard to transport, harder to build, even harder to opperate and therefore prone to human error (boo). It was also limited to addition an subtraction. It didn’t really catch on.

Along comes Leibniz and designes the Leibniz Wheel (which, unlike the A.M.’s wheels, which needed 10 rotations per single digit, only needed a single rotation for any operation involving a single-digit number and could, in conjunction with other Leibniz wheels, carry over into higher digits more easily. He used it to build the first really usable Calculator(s). This Stepped Reckoner (which is what you get when you badly translate Stufenrechner) was easier to operate and it could perform all four basic operations. You could actually use it. Or, as this book puts it:

“The demand for Leibniz’s machines was largely for it’s help in calculating tables of common mathematical functions. In the seventeenth century producing one of these tables might have been a lifes’s work.”

Just, in case you wanted to know how rad people thought this was.

Here’s a link to a video of an animated Leibniz Wheel in use.

Babbage’s Difference Engine and Analytical Engine

Babbage’s Difference Engine (1820s/30s) and Analytical Engine (1830s), genreally considered the ‘first computer’ if they’d actually build it, was basically the attempt to stack as many Leibniz Wheel-ish Wheels (they used a variation, btu it‘s afaik the same concept) as possible on top of each other and operate them all simultaneously by using the technology of Joseph Marie Jacquard’s “programmable” Loom (invented around 1800, uses Punchcards to weave different & complex patterns) to brute-force complex mathematical problems.

The Difference Engine was supposed to use this system to calculate and print mathematical tables. It was supposed to be able to calculate polynoms and use sinus and cosinus and such (!!! I know that sounds easy when we all have a graphical calculator lying around at home like a useless math brick, but this is so cool!)

The Analytical Engine was a step up from this, as it should have functioned without human intervention and was upposed to be fully programmable. It even had something like 10 kB memory space. It was a computer, is what it is.

Now, Ada Lovelace took one long look at that and went “well, clearly this isn’t cool enough yet” because she was born a Byron and Just That Extra. She was also apparently called the Enchantress of Numbers by Babbage ... just ... like ... maybe ... okay.

Anyways, Ada, while trying to explain what the fuck this thing was supposed to do to the general science public, casually invented the analytical computer program. As you do. As you fucking do.

(Still using this book as well as this book btw) 

To make this clear: Babbage is that one kid who’s always finished first in Math Class because he actually knows how to make tht Unloved Math Brick Of Ugh do what he wants; Ada is that kid who wrote her own game for her Math Brick, hasn’t payed attention since Grade 6 and is currently reading a college-level informatic book under the table. In the first row, Isaac and Gottfried are throwing chalk at each other. Well, you get what I mean.

The Mary Engine

The Mary Engine is produced in the 1840s and is small enough to fit into the store room’s shelves. It’s not a Differentiation or an Analytical Engine, and probably also not a Stepped Reckoner.

But. This thing is actually incredible. The Mary Engine is TINY.

Babbage never finished either Engine. They only build on around 1900 iirr. Second off, the Engines where fuck off huge. Things the size of the Mary Engine really only came around in the early 1900 or so. ‘Enigmas’ (aka Rotor-Crypto-Machines, which are way less complex then actual calculators), while ‘invented’ shortly after WWI all over the world, only became small enough to be moved comfortably on-person during WWII. How the fuck did they get the Mary Engine that small in the 1840s?

If there’s anything I’m missing (or that I’ve gotten horribly wrong, because I’m a computer noob in the end) hit me up so that I can amend this thing. I don’t really have a Grand Fandom Theory or anything. This is just a list (+ minor explanations) of Cool Stuff. A lot of people probably already know this stuff, but I had fun writing this and it might bring people who weren’t raised in Leibniz-Central up to speed somewhat.

Now, another thing, because someone pointed it out a while ago (and I can’t! Believe! I didn’t make that connection!); Linden-Limmer. I really should have seen that one: I fucking live here. So: Hannover, Germany is kind of a bonkers town.

My analysis...

G*D's military scandal is a governmental problem. It's huge n serious! N I think Y*G was facing that since last year's summer when the rumors started circulating abt him not providing a good military service n being treated like a king there. N now everything is clear PLS go n check his scandal bcuz I can't say everything abt him now I'm busy at work. But Anygays...so Jen*kai was planned since summer last year n dis is the exact time someone threw us dis rumor of jen n K*ai  attending a fashion show tgt n going in the same plane to Paris remember? It was exactly when Jong*in just made his IG! So it was planned. Two months or three later, Exo's manager followers Jennifer! And boom in January Jen*kai was revealed dating n boom a month  later in February -I mean-, G*D's full detailed military scandal n the gouvernment  taking action n doing G*D some health examinations to check if he is up to military service or he must be discharged while he just joined few months ago!! I can tell y'all that Seungri's scandal was also a camouflage to GD's scandal. But Jen*kai is somehow also related to G*D's n many other reasons were behind jen*kai. This date was an anticipation for the fuckery that was gonna happen later which is wut is happening now with G*D n Se*ungri n the two i*kon n wi*nner members seen drunk n almost kissing n hugging in a night club. se*ungri's scandal MIGHT BE a Post-scandal camouflage, since right after G*D's Shit happened Se*ungri's prostitution scandal popped out..I dunno if Se*ungri's scandal is just a made up scandal to hide G*D's which is quite bigger n more dangerous or that Se*ungri's scandal is also a real scandal n all that shit was anticipated by Jen*kai n will be erased by THE RETURN OF JEN*KAI VERY SOON! Y'all told me that Jen*kai can't be back becuz it's ended n stuff but check my posts to know how many times I told y'all that I think jen*kai will be back n soon but everyone tells me No n I hope Im wrong becuz I don't wanna be facing another drama in our shipdom. But wait! Why r those Sasaengs everywhere, every sasaeng account I know is sharing that very same rumor that Jenkai didn't break up while they were the same Sasaengs that told before that Jenkai is fake!!!!???!! Now they say Jen*kai r dating n didn't break up??! N they are insisting on reminding us every now n then. Every week all Sasaengs make sure to remind us that Jen*kai are in luv n still dating. So they must got paid to share this rumor just how they were paid to share that Jen*kai were  going on the same plane as embassadors of Korea back in June 2018, this rumor spread like fire last year n THIS IS WHEN EVERYONE STARTED SHIPPING THEM n IMAGINING HOW IT IS LIKE IF THEY DATED N HOW A POWERFUL COUPLE WOULD THEY MAKE!  I SAW THAT WITH MY OWN EYES!! FEW DAYS LATER BOTH JEN n KA*I MADE INSTAGRAM. IN THE SAME PERIOD, Ppl thought becuz they are Korea fashion embassadors so yeah they need to share us their experience in fashion world. But I see that all planned!! Even Ji's IG was made up becuz of this purpose! Becuz remember his very first post was of Gucci's invitation, I think it's the same case with Jen*nie's iG she made her IG when she was announced as Chanel's Korean embassador. Two months later Jen*kai were in Paris n rumors of them meeting was circulating,  shippers started gathering n eyeing every moment they're close to each other, n in awards'ceremonies fans collected moments n made videos of them waaay before jen*kai was announced u can check the jen*kai moments videos'dates they were months before Jen*kai were announced to the public n fans kept posting matching clothes of jen*kai n things they have in common n clothes code they share as a couple n it spread all over internet n the jen*kai Shipdom has grown waaaay before so the rumor must have done well it brainwashed PPL'S brains just as it must have been supposed to, the June Rumor circulated real well n did its job n to confirm PPL'S thoughts n to make them believe they're rumor of June... BOOOOM JEN*KAI WERE FEATURED IN ELLE KOREA MAGAZINE AS EMBASSADORS OF CHANEL n GUCCI, N THE MAGAZINE HAD THE PHOTOSHOOT OF BOTH JEN*KAI n EACH PIC OF JI IS FOLLOWED BY A PIC OF JENNIFER! TGEY WERE RECTO/VERSO. JEN*KAI HAD A WHOLE MAGAZINE WITH THEIR PICS IN THE SAME PAGES! It's all planned. N don't be fooled or surprised if Jen*kai ever came back, plus another date maybe posted n Sasaengs kept saying since January that they've seen jen*kai skiing in Japan n somewhere in Spain too?? I dunno but that date must have been filmed n might be dropped when it's time n it might not be dropped at All if the fuckery n the mess in Y*G calms down n long forgotten!! So u can say they're leaving that date filmed n saved somewhere n won't post it until things get out of hand to divert PPL'S attention from G*D n S*eungri's scandals. Again I can't say if Se*ungri's prostitution scandal is a camouflage for G*D's or that S*eungri's scandal is itself another real scandal n Y*G is really fucked up now. @rimon4kadi @isaykaiyousaysoo @ayalafree @kadivinity @dika-dika @dika-kadi @just4kadi @jonginksoo @kaisooforever  @kaisoo @jonginsboyfriend @jonginksoo @jongintrinsic14 @fykaisoo @your-harry-potter-nerd @julycolibri  @kaisooforevercouple-blog @kyungsootrash120   @soaringsoon ,@ninis-nose  I'm sorry for tagging y'all n disturbing you but I don't know wut to think. N I wanted ur opinion.

[absolutebl]

Industry question for you, please: Why is it that it seems that Thai BL in particular has some really systemic issues with writing endings? Screwed-up pacing/editing, out-of-character/illogical actions, not being very satisfying... it seems like a show avoiding that fate is more of an exception than the rule, unfortunately. Do a lot of them just... not write the ending ahead of time? 😅 That would make having these sort of wacked-up endings at least make some sense, but... really, it makes *no* sense to me that that would be the actual standard writing strategy-- I mean, for example, one of the best living novel authors I know of *always* has very satisfying endings, literally without fail (I have read everything he's written and been perfectly content with the ending of every one), and the reason for that is he purposefully always writes the endings of his books *first*, then works everything back up to that point. Similarly, some of the best TV shows I've seen (from any country-- and this does actually include some Thai ones, to be fair) were written either all in one go or at the *very* least with their endings obviously already very firmly in mind, regardless of if they were completely original or were adaptations of some other source material. So... why does this often seem to be such a difficulty for the writers of Thai BL? 😅 (Sorry if I sound a little salty here, but endings either make or break all fiction for me {novels, manga/manhwa, TV, movies, games, whatever}, and I've been getting burned what seems to be more and more often lately with shows being great for the vast majority of their runtime but then inexplicably totally botching the landing, seemingly out of nowhere-- so I'm a bit frustrated with that when it seems to be a really simply-solved problem {that, indeed, has already been solved by many others before}: JUST WRITE THE DAMN ENDING *FIRST* and then work up to it? 🙃😅)

Endings huh? You a romance reader by nature? (Wait, no, you said... HE. So... Sparks? Green?) Anygay, where was I?

But yeah, I get it. I've always fancied the dessert course the most, myself.

To answer your question, not sure. I'm assuming its a narrative expectation based in culture. Like Japan and their lanes, China and 6 act structure, or Korea's adoration of love triangles. And producing culture comes to film and storytelling with its own set narrative conceits, archetypes, and tropes and aren't proscriptive but are leaned on a lot. Much as they come to film with a certain style as well.

Think about the "look" of Korean BL compared to the "look" of Taiwanese BL, for example. They have an entirely different flavor to them. Korean stuff is usually all bright and airy, lots of distance shots, super clean and uncluttered, filtered and filmy and atmospheric. Taiwanese stuff is much closer, more grainy, more bold with it's color choices and contrasts, kind-up n your face and gritty, a bit messy sometimes.

It's jarring to go from one to the other.

After watching nothing but Asian dramas for so long, I always find it jarring to go back to American shit. It feels over-acted and unsubtle and kind of brash. Over all "loud" and in my face. Jarring.

So when first encountering 4 or 6 act structure most westerners feel a little unmoored, it doesn't feel comfortable until you sink into it and leave 3 & 5 behind.

I'm mean I'm so used to K-dramas with that arbitrary year or more separation in the final episode I;m now shocked when it's not there.

I guess what I'm saying is maybe it's just a thing with Thailand, not to put that much truck in endings. The way (especially) romances do in the western world. There's a very fixed idea of what an HEA should look like in the west. Thailand may not share that idea.

I've not read the source books of any of these BLs, so I don't know if this is just their narrative style or not.

I mean there are some Thai BLs with good (if not great) endings, and plenty of Korean BLs with terrible middles, and far too many Taiwanese BLs with bad beginnings.

Ya just kinda get used to it, I guess.

BTS as Daddies

warnings: dd/lg, slight sexual themes.

Kim Namjoon/RM

ok first thing first

WE ALL KNOW THIS BOI HAS A DADDY KINK

like excUSE ME

king daddy™

anygay

I think Namjoon would be a semi-strict daddy

have a list of rules you have to follow

and lord knows if you break them you’re gonna get punished

Namjoon values trust and would feel as a daddy it's his job to punish you, if he didn’t, he’d feel like he had broken your trust a little

he has great self-control

the minute you use your safe word, he’s already getting you cleaned up and the bath’s already running and he is ready for snuggles

cuz don’t get me wrong

Namjoon isn’t all rules

he would be the biggest cuddle bug.

loves to have you sit on his lap

plays with your hair all the time

kisses your temple a lot cuz he’s tol

low key high key whipped for you

constantly checking up on you to see if you’re okay, even if its just a hand on your shoulder

he’s so patient with you

never raises his voice

prolly calls you ‘little one’

reads you bedtime stories

I'm sorry I'm just

uwu

in conclusion

Namjoon is a very good daddy. you are in safe hands, little one

Kim Seokjin/Jin

Kim Seokjin

where do I start with this boi

I picture him as a very soft daddy

kinda protective

like if anyone ever were to judge you for being a little and living the life you lead...

boi he’d be ready to throw hands

not really

Jin takes shit from no-one and would know when to cut people out

he’s a shady bitch

if someone judged his little girl/boy for being their cute innocent self, it’s their loss for not seeing how wonderful they are

thinks the world is too cruel for your little heart 

is afraid people will judge you so prefers if you keep little space in the home

knows from looking at you when you’re in little space

calls you something cute like ‘little puff’

showers you with kisses

constantly taking pictures of you

lives for his time with you

you want daddy to dress as a prince?

done

you want to play tea party?

daddy will bake cupcakes

hates to see you cry

literally swOOPS you up in his arms if you ever hurt yourself and cry

tuts at you and calls you silly when you have a tantrum

less strict than Namjoon

only a few basic rules 

“no swearing” and stuff

less enthusiastic about punishments

most you’ll get in terms of physical punishment is spanking

and that’s if you’ve been really bad

Jin opts more for timeouts and no TV time

occasionally will opt for orgasm denial if he’s feeling particularly satanic

best in the game at aftercare.

has set treats, candles, bubble bath, blankets, stuffies, pacifiers - ANYTHING his baby needs

I'm realizing only two members in that this is gonna make so soft uwu

Min Yoongi/Suga

this boi is my bias so um

strap in

I think Yoongi would be more like Namjoon in terms of how daddy he is

he’s highkey whipped for you

doesn’t show it in public

prefers to spoil you with the gummy smiles in private

definition of patient

you could be having the mother of all bitchfits, screaming bloody murder and this boy would sit there and watch until you’ve tired yourself out 

just sighs “are you done, kitten?” and wipes the tears from your face

yes he calls you kitten

he always makes time for you, no matter how tired he is

lives for naps with you

loves it when you curl yourself into him

buries his face into your hair because he loves your smell

rests his hand on your neck 

he doesn’t mind bringing you outside when you’re little as long as your hand stays locked in his

kisses your forehead cuz it makes him feel taller

he’s more laidback than Namjoon in term of rules but will go all the way with punishment if he needs to

owns a remote control vibrator 

boy don't play around

will buy you the cutest onesies and pacifiers

lives for that cute smile on your face when he puts it on you

I'm just imagining him smiling with his whole mouth at you

then kneeling down and taking the pacifier out of your mouth to kiss you

 U W U

watches Disney movies with you

loves it when you straddle his lap and lay across his chest so he can wrap his arms around you 

you’re literally the only person he’ll allow in his studio with him.

the walls and desks are littered with little drawings that you do for him while you’re with him

speaks more with actions than words

little fleeting touches to check your okay

such a sweetheart during aftercare

has you sit between his legs and massages your arms

hums to you softly and plays with your hair

makes you feel like you re the only thing in the world that has ever mattered to him

cuz sometimes he believes that

Jung Hoseok/J-Hope

OK SO

I think everyone knows that Hobi is quite literally a ball of sunshine

this reflects a lot into his daddy-ness

his little will never 

repeat

NEVER

be bored

almost Yoongi level sugar daddy 

actually, screw that he’s probably more of a sugar daddy

you literally have any toy you want

half your wardrobe is all supreme and bucket hats cuz he likes it when his baby dresses like their daddy

dances with you all the time

this boy has so much energy oh my god

he’d love to bring you to the park and push you on the swings

shows you off to everyone

especially bangtan

fairly laid back

doesn’t like having a lot of rules cuz he just wants you to live

can be stern if he needs to be tho

punishments are probably limited like Jin’s

timeouts are as painful for him as they are for you cuz he just wants to hug you

this boy would very sadistic in the bedroom

did I hear

edging??

perhaps some orgasm denial?

overstimulation

high key satan

really hates to raise his voice at you

has had a few slip ups here and there when you’ve been particularly difficult

rights his wrongs almost immediately

definitely is not above saying sorry just cause of the power a daddy has

daddy/little relationships are all about trust, communication, and understanding that everyone is equal

Hobi would value these immensely 

Hobi seems like the type of person that if you were to bring up littles to him, he might think it was weird at first

but then he’d see how happy it would make you

and he’d be whipped

I picture Yoongi and Namjoon as naturals at being a daddy

I feel Jin and Hobi would have to learn 

the fact that you put that much trust in them would melt their heart

Hobi would strive to be the best daddy you could ever ask for

you best believe this boy would braid your hair.

kiss your cheek and giggle into your skin like a lovesick fool

calls you his little angel or ‘cherub’

the type to make you chocolate chip pancakes for aftercare

Hobi would never really have considered being a daddy until he met you

and lord is he thankful he did

you are quite literally the moon, sun, and stars to that boy

frick im soft

Park Jimin

ok

so

this boy is my ultimate bias wrecker so 

strap

the fuck

in

THIS BOI

IS

THE SOFTEST BOI

whipped™

buys you pretty clothes and takes Polaroid pictures of you to keep in his wallet

you’re his phone background and his desktop background

gives!you!so!much!praise!

calls you his doll

literally just doesn’t say your name

just calls you by complimenting you

“gorgeous, come over here.”

“how are you, pretty?”

is so soft for you

kisses your nose and pinches your cheeks

thinks you’re so cute he could eat you like a muffin

playfully nibbles on your skin to hear you giggle

sits with you and lets you braid his hair 

loves!to!see!you!in!stockings!

spins you around when you dance to hear you scream laugh

you literally make him cry from laughter

he has rules for you but not as much as Joon.

has been known to get quite frustrated with you if you have tantrums

Jimin has quite the temper on him and does slip up and yell when he’s stressed sometimes

almost immediately regrets it and feels so bad

god forbid if he makes you cry

literally would never let go of you

c u d d l e s

punishments are like a mix between Hobi and Jin’s

he’ll have no problem putting you in time out if you’re being a little shit

he will use punishments like orgasm denial and edging but he wouldn’t be as satanic as Hobi and Yoongi to use overstimulation

the softest thing in aftercare

cleans you up, puts on your favorite movie and cuddles you in bed

gives you stuffies and a pacifier and kisses your forehead

watches you fall asleep to make sure that you’re okay

will check up on you for days afterward

I literally had to stop like three times writing this part cuz of all my uwus

Kim Taehyung/V

my fuckin boi

ok

so

Kim Taehyung

is a literal puppy

so playful

you are literally this boys entire world

brings you outside to take aesthetic candid shots of you he later posts on Instagram

a lot of them are pictures of you with Yeontan

or in pink frilly outfits, he bought for you

calls you his precious little babygirl/boy

puts flowers in your hair

loves when you wear his clothes

literally will purposefully give them to you to wear around the house

brings you for drives - usually to go get ice cream

sings to you ALL THE TIME 

does that cute thing where he laughs and claps his hands when you sing with him

gets really into it so he’s dancing around the kitchen, belting out Disney bops with a whisk in his hand

your lips are his favorite thing

but has a kink for kissing your hands

just loves to have your hand in his

Tae is literally the most understanding, caring person so if he ever felt the need to punish you for breaking rules he’d have like a proper talk with you about it

“why didn’t you listen to daddy, precious?”

would always be worried that he had done something wrong

it’s his life goal to make you happy

would never raise his voice but he does get frustrated if you’re misbehaving and he doesn't know what to do

Tae!would!be!so!into!begging!

literally, if he was ever punishing you he would make you beg and scream for so long before he let you cum.

might not even let you cum if he’s feeling particularly sadistic

if it’s too much for you, he’s so soft with aftercare

makes you hot chocolate, lays you across his chest and sings you to sleep

will remind you of how much he truly adores you and how good you are

he sings your praises to the rooftops

plays with your hair and rubs your hips

wakes you up in the morning to cuddles and TV

aftercare is one of his favorite things

he’s honestly so content being a daddy

you are literally the most precious thing in the worl to him

once again

U W U

Jeon Jungkook

this boi ruins me holy hell

I feel like at first, Kookie would be slightly out of his comfort zone knowing that he has to care for someone

yano

cuz he da maknae

everyone babies him

but after a while, I think he’d really enjoy the change

you’re his princess/prince

and you rule his house

you are spoiled, let me tell you

we all know that this boy strong

he would carry you everywhere in the house

he’s gotten used to the constant cries of “daddy, up!” when he’s in a room

loves to cook for you

has you sit on the counter with him while he makes dinner

you’re his little assistant chef

sneaks little nose kisses between giggles

loves to kiss your shoulders and your neck

sits with you at the table and colors

always puts yours on the fridge

bounces you on his lap all the time

gave you a bunny plushie to remind you of him

needless to say, it's your favorite

gets frustrated quite easily if you’re being difficult

timeouts are his punishment of choice

usually leaves you there for five minutes

always comes over and kneels down to you

makes sure you say that you’re sorry and then scoops you up in his arms for cuddles

isn’t fond of orgasm denial

prefers overstimulation

this boi top of his game on this

carries you to the bath for aftercare

is so kind and gentle when he takes care of you

dresses you in the softest PJ’s

literally carries you around and bounces you gently in his arms

gets you a bottle and lays in bed with you

loves your butt

taps it gently to help you sleep

sings to you 

you are literally his favorite thing

in the world

I AM

SO SOFT

AHH

Roman woke up happily. It had been a wonderful week since his darling Patton’s name reveal anniversary, and he honestly couldn’t be happier.

It had been an extremely productive week, full of new ideas for videos and filming with Joan and Talyn for other video ideas of his that had gotten finalized! Logan was actually ahead of schedule with everything by about a week, making Virgil a lot less anxious. And of course, that meant that Patton had them all make a cake and had shared it with everyone because things were going super well!

And, one of Roman’s favorite parts, he got to snuggle his boyfriends to sleep every single night. And now it was Saturday! One of his favorite days now, because of his amazing dates with his favorite people.

So if the sheer excitement had Roman up earlier than even Patton, well, he couldn’t be upset about it, now could he?

He wandered downstairs, grabbing some coffee and waiting for the pot to be ready when he felt a pair of arms wrap around him and snuggle into him. Roman smiled, turning around, letting Patton snuggle into his chest, which would be way more comfy than his back.

Soon enough, the coffee was ready, allowing the two of them to get fully awake and ready for the day.

“So Ro,” Patton was the one to break the easy silence between them after they had been sitting at the table for a while. Roman looked up from his coffee, smiling at his emotional love to let him know that he was being paid attention to. “Last time was about me. Our last date, I mean. And knowing you, you’d want to do the same for Lo and Virge.”

Ro sat up straighter, surprised that Patton had found him out so easily. Then again, it made sense, as Patton was one of the more emotional of his boyfriends.

“Yeah, you’re right. Today I wanted to do Virgil.” Patton smirked at that.

“Don’t you always?” Roman choked on his drink.

Then Logan came down. “Yeah I do.” He went to the coffee pot, leaving Patton and Roman in stunned silence.

Logan seated himself at the table with Patton and Roman as they all laughed (Roman and Patton after getting over the slight shock of Logan’s statement), enjoying each other’s loving company.

“So anygay, Ro, what were you thinking of doing?” Roman smirked lightly as he sipped his coffee.

“I want to do the Found Tonight song by Lin-Manuel Miranda, sung by us to him. We can go to a stage in the mindscape, we can dance as we sing if we want. In fact, maybe this date could just be all of us singing along and dancing to songs from different musicals!”

Roman’s eyes were lit up with excitement, making Patton and Logan smile. Logan nodded, smiling a soft, slow, easy smile that made him all the more beautiful to his boyfriends. Roman blushed at the thought that he was one of the ones who could put that gorgeous, rare smile on his Logan’s face.

“That’s a great idea, my love.” Logan looked Roman deeply in the eyes, smirking slightly at Roman’s blush. He still had that soft, shy smile that made Roman and Patton fall in love with him that much more.

Patton couldn’t contain his excitement and squealed happily, making Logan and Roman blush and half-heartedly glare at him. Patton giggled while Logan and Roman made eye contact and slowly smirked.

Roman stood up as Patton noticed their matching smirks and gulped slightly, the smile never falling from his face. He knew exactly what they were planning now, and he actually loved it a lot (though he would never say that out loud). Roman’s eyes softened as he looked at his emotional love, and he leaned down and kissed Patton gently. Patton melted into the kiss happily, before he felt Logan tickling him.

Patton couldn’t help the small giggles that interrupted his and Roman’s kiss, making Logan tickle him harder and harder. Patton knew that Logan and Roman loved hearing him giggle, and tickling him was the easiest way to get him to giggle. It was fine by him, honestly, though he was a little saddened because he knew he couldn’t be quiet and that it would probably wake up Virgil.

“Alright, Lo, we can let him up now.” Roman smirked at Patton softly as his love’s giggles became softer. Logan and Roman both had smiles on their faces as they finally let up.

Patton had at some point closed his eyes, and now opened them, smiling when he saw two of his boyfriend’s faces smiling above him, making him smile a soft, sweet smile at them both.

They allowed him to get out of his chair, and he did, smiling when he saw his Virgil leaning against the counter.

“Morning, baby boy.” Patton went over to the Anxious Side, kissing him happily. Virgil blushed, but was smiling.

“Did we wake you up?” Roman was concerned, he hadn’t meant to wake Virgil up. Virgil nodded.

“No worries, though, Princey. The best way to wake up is to the sound of Patton’s giggles.” He smirked at the Moral Side’s blush as Logan and Roman agreed.

Virgil walked over to the coffee pot, getting himself some as his boyfriends sat back down around the kitchen table. They all smiled, content to be together and happy. Soon enough, however, Virgil was sipping his coffee as the others tried to figure out how to tell him what they were doing without spoiling that it was for him.

It was Logan who figured it out first, letting Patton and Roman lean back a little and relax as the Logical Side explained the plan to the Anxious Side.

“So, Virge. It’s Saturday.” Logan began, Virgil jumping in.

“Night? By Panic! At the Disco?” Roman and Patton giggled, making Virgil smirk and throw a wink in their direction. Logan sighed and rolled his eyes playfully, too used to his boyfriends’ antics by now.

“Maybe later, honey.” He smirked right back, sending chills down Virgil’s back. Logan was hot when he smirked, and it never failed to make Virgil blush, dammit.

“Anyway, as it is Saturday, it’s date day.” Logan smiled as Virgil nodded happily (still blushing) and Patton softly squealed. Roman, in the meantime, was doing his best to not give away his surprise for his more anxious love. He thought this would be done the easiest by not speaking.

“And we… Logan and Patton and I… we wanted to take you someplace special. To all four of us.” Roman, obviously, had failed at the part where he tried not to speak. But he hadn’t given away the surprise, at least! Patton and Logan both breathed out a sigh of relief at that, making Virgil look at them weirdly before turning back to his Extra™ boyfriend.

“Okay? I guess? I mean I trust you guys. Just promise me we aren’t doing anything that will send my Anxiety through the roof. Again.” Virgil rolled his eyes good-naturedly as his three boyfriends giggled, all of them remembering what had happened the last time Thomas had had a huge Anxiety spike.

Virgil had been the one most present in Thomas’s mind at that time. Thomas had been playing a horror game with Joan and Talyn, and as much as he loved his friends, both he and Virgil hated the jumpscares that the horror games gave him.

And this time, it was super bad.

The three were playing the Evil Within 2, which was freaking Thomas out. This caused problems for poor Virgil, who was the embodiment of Thomas’s freaking out in that particular moment.

And when Thomas said that his Anxiety was through the roof, he wasn’t lying. A sudden jumpscare in the game had sent Virgil’s body through the roof of the Light Side’s house in the mindscape.

And even though the situation wasn’t funny at the time, looking at the picture Roman had taken later had made all of them laugh. And Virgil blush a little, but the other three had quickly kissed his cheeks softly, letting him know that they weren’t judging him. It was just slightly funny to see black skinny jeans hanging from a ceiling as Logan looked up in exasperation.

“Anyway, are we gonna get going to whatever we’re doing? I don’t want to waste the whole day.” Virgil grumbled, but the others could see that it was mostly playful. Roman stood up and held out a hand to his purple-clad boyfriend, smiling as Virgil took it and they walked off towards the Tardis.

Soon enough, the four were off flying through the Imagination, to one of Roman’s favorite places to be, ever.

“So what are we doing, exactly?” Virgil asked as they all stared out the windows, looking at the gorgeous world around them.

Patton smiled and put an arm around his anxious love. “We are gonna be singing, Virgil. We’re gonna sing for you and to you and you can sing whatever you want. You get to do what you love, Virge!”

Patton looked so hopeful when he said that, and Virgil couldn’t help the small smile on his face. He did love singing, be it alone or with his boyfriends. It was a somewhat strange concept, he had to admit. Virgil was the literal embodiment of Thomas’ Anxiety, so why did he love singing? Being in front of people, where anyone could judge him, should make him too scared to do anything, right?

Surprisingly, no. Virgil didn’t know why, exactly, but singing just helped him to let go.   And so now he was really excited, and opened the doors as soon as the Tardis was settled.

Virgil recognized where he was as soon as he stepped from the doors.

Roman followed him out, looking at Virgil hesitantly. “Is this okay?”

Virgil just nodded and smiled, looking around. It was the stage of the first professional musical theater production Thomas had ever been to. It was part of what inspired Thomas to do musicals in the first place, so it made perfect sense why Roman loved it.

But Virgil? Virgil loved it here because of what had been said that day. Thomas had been a kid, and Virgil wasn’t as strong, so Thomas was able to say hi to one of the actors from the musical. And Thomas had said that it was amazing and he wished he could do something like that. The actor had then asked a simple question: “Why couldn’t you?” It made Thomas try something new that ended up being something he would love for all of time.

For Virgil, it gave him courage. It told him that, he could be afraid, but it didn’t have to be crippling. He was able to be himself, and that made all the difference.

Virgil turned to Roman. “Can I play a song, babe?” He asked, to which the other three nodded. This was about Virgil. Because, as much as Roman loved to perform, Virgil’s nervous energy was what made it worthwhile. And Virgil loved to sing, too. It allowed him to express who he was without fear of judgement.

And he thought it was high time he showed that to the people he loves the most.

Am I brave enough?

Am I strong enough?

To follow the desire

That burns from within

To push away my fear

To stand where I'm afraid

I am through with this

‘Cuz I am more than this

I promise to myself

Alone and no one else

My flame is rising higher

I am the fire

I am burning brighter

Roaring like a storm

And I am the one

I've been waiting for

Screaming like a siren

Alive and burning brighter

I am the fire

I've been sacrificed

My Heart’s been cauterized

Hanging on to hope

Shackled by the ghost

Of what I once believed

That I could never be

What's right in front of me?

I am the fire

I am burning brighter

Roaring like a storm

And I am the one I've been waiting for

Screaming like a siren

Alive and burning brighter

I am the fire

I don't believe I'll fall from grace

Won't let the past decide my fate

Leave forgiveness in my wake

Take the love that I've embraced

I promise to myself, me and no one else

I am more than this

I am the fire...

I am the fire

I am burning brighter

Roaring like a storm

And I am the one I've been waiting for

Screaming like a siren

Alive and burning brighter

I am the fire

I am the fire

I am the fire

I am the fire

I am the fire

I am the fire

I am the fire

Roman, Patton, and Logan were in the audience’s seats as Virgil sang for them. They loved when he got so into something that he was able to let go of his Anxiety, and this was one of those times. He was himself, and it was him alone on the stage, and he was beautiful.

Not to mention the song - “I am the Fire” by Halestorm. All three of them had expected something emo, something like My Chemical Romance - but were pleasantly surprised. Logan was the one to realize that’s kind of the way Virgil sang, actually. He was expected to be one way, and did something completely different and did it stunningly well.

Patton loved how much stronger singing made Virgil look - he looked, and clearly felt, way more confident, able to be himself a little bit more. Roman loved that, too - how he carried himself like he knew what he was doing, because he did. He wasn’t nervous. He was having a good time.

All three of them stood up and applauded, Virgil blushing and smiling as he jokingly bowed. Roman conjured a red rose, and threw it right at his Anxious boyfriend, who caught it and smiled right back.

Patton rolled right up on stage next to Virgil, being to excited to sing with his boyfriend. It was something he always wanted to do actually, so good luck stopping him.

“Pat? What -” Virgil began to ask before Patton cut him off excitedly.

“Virgil! Virgil Virgil Virgil Virgil Virgil!” He bounced around the stage, Logan and Roman looking amusedly at their Moral boyfriend’s antics around their Anxious boyfriend.

“...Yes, Patton?” Virgil tried, hesitantly.

“WILL YOU SING A CLASSIC ROCK SONG WITH ME?!” Patton shouted, way too excited, as Virgil backed up automatically.

“Jeez, Pat, I will, but please don’t scream it? Literal embodiment of Anxiety?” Virgil whispered, holding his hands to his ears because wow Patton could be loud when he wanted to be.

“Yay! Also sorry!” Patton squealed, hugging Virgil, who smiled slowly and hugged him back. He wasn’t upset, just highly shook. It was all good.

“So? What song?” Virgil asked. Patton snapped his fingers, smiling, and the music came on.

Carry On My Wayward Son.

Logan and Roman, who had watched Supernatural with Virgil, cheered. Patton hadn’t seen the show, but he did love the music from it.

Carry on my wayward son

There’ll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Don’t you cry no more

Once I rose above the noise and confusion

Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion

I was soaring ever higher

But I flew too high

Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man

Though my mind could think I still was a mad man

I hear the voices when I’m dreaming

I can hear them say

Carry on my wayward son

There’ll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Don’t you cry no more

Masquerading as a man with a reason

My charade is the event of the season

And if I claim to be a wise man

It surely means I don’t know

On a stormy sea of moving emotion

Tossed about I’m like a ship on the ocean

I set a course for winds of fortune

But I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son

There’ll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Don’t you cry no more

Carry on

You will always remember

Carry on

Nothing equals the splendor

Now your life’s no longer empty

Surely Heaven waits for you

Carry on my wayward son

There’ll be peace when you are done

Lay your weary head to rest

Don’t you cry no more

No more

No more

Logan and Roman stood up, clapping and smiling as the song ended. That would always be a favorite song of all four of them, so it was really special that Patton and Virgil got to sing it together. Patton, still on stage, hugged Virgil. Virgil hugged back, and then Patton began to make his way back towards where Roman and Logan were.

Logan, then, had an idea. He hopped up on the stage, and whispered it to Virgil, who blushed but then smirked and looked right at Roman, nodding.

He went backstage, Patton and Roman exceedingly confused.

Logan explained.

“Virgil and I are going to perform a song for you two, from a musical we all know and love. We’re just getting changed.”

He winked at the two more romantically inclined Sides, before turning and running behind the curtain himself to change into whatever outfit was needed.

Then the stage changed. The curtains closed, and when they opened again, Logan was lying in a t-shirt and jeans on a raised circle with stairs on either sides.

Then Virgil walked out, in a blue blazer and dark grey mini-skirt and thigh highs.

The two in the audience gulped - they knew exactly what was happening, now.

Logan and Virgil were going to perform Dead Girl Walking, from Heathers. And Roman and Patton knew all too well that Logan and Virgil knew the exact moves to this song, from back when Thomas had played JD.

Virgil began to sing:

The demon queen of high school has decreed it:

She says Monday, 8 a.m., I will be deleted

They'll hunt me down in study hall

Stuff and mount me on the wall

Thirty hours to live—

How shall I spend them?

I don't have to stay and die like cattle

I could change my name and ride up to Seattle

But I don't own a motorbike

Wait—here's an option that I like:

Spend these thirty hours gettin' freakay!

Yeah!

I need it hard

I'm a dead girl walkin'

I'm in your yard

I'm a dead girl walkin'

Before they punch my clock

I'm snappin' off your window lock

Got no time to knock

I'm a dead girl walking

Then Logan came in:

Virgil? What are you doing in my room?

Shh...

Sorry, but I really had to wake you

See, I decided I must ride you till I break you

'Cause Heather says I gots to go

You're my last meal on death row

Shut your mouth and lose them tighty-whities!

Come on! Tonight I'm yours

I'm your dead girl walkin'

Get on all fours

Kiss this dead girl walkin'

Let's go, you know the drill

I'm hot and pissed and on the pill

Bow down to the will of a dead girl walking!

And you know, you know, you know

It's 'cause you're beautiful

You say you're numb inside

But I can't agree

So the world's unfair

Keep it locked out there

In here it's beautiful

Let's make this beautiful!

That works for me!

(Yeah!)

Full steam ahead!

Take this dead girl walkin'

How'd you find my address?

Let's break the bed

Rock this dead girl walkin'!

I think you tore my mattress!

No sleep tonight for you

Better chug that Mountain Dew

Okay, okay

Get your ass in gear

Make this whole town disappear!

Okay, okay!

Slap me! Pull my hair!

Touch me

There and there and there!

And no more talkin'

Whoa-oh-oh-oh!

Love this dead girl walkin'

(Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey! Yeah, yeah!)

Love this dead girl

(Whoa, whoa! Hey, hey! Wait, wait!)

Love this dead girl

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Ow!

Yeah!

Roman and Patton sat in stunned silence. They were lost in their boyfriends’ performance, which had been done very, very, very well (in their oh-so-professional opinions).

Virgil and Logan got up, smiling, as Roman and Patton applauded heavily.

“Roman, you got anything to perform for us?” Virgil asked as he followed Logan down the stairs into the audience’s part of the auditorium. Roman looked at him shocked.

“What, you want to hear me sing, my sweet little Nightmare?” Roman smirked. Virgil blushed.

“Well, yeah, if you want to, I mean…” Virgil trailed off shyly. Roman looked at him, slightly shocked, but smiled hugely as he kissed Virgil.

When they pulled away, there was a blush on both of their cheeks. “As you wish.” Roman bowed, making Virgil giggle, as he summoned a piano on the stage.

It was a white grand, and so Virgil knew exactly what Roman was going to play - the piano version of “This Is Gospel” by Panic! At the Disco.

And he did, making Virgil smile as he cuddled close to Patton and Logan.

This is gospel,

for the fallen ones

locked away in permanent slumber

Assembling their philosophies

from pieces of broken memories

(This is the beat of my heart)

(this is the beat of my heart)

(This is the beat of my heart)

(this is the beat of my heart)

The gnashing teeth and criminal tongues conspire against the odds

But they haven't seen the best of us yet

If you love me let me go

If you love me let me go

'Cause these words are knives

That often leave scars

The fear of falling apart

And truth be told I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart

This is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

This is the beat of my heart, this is the beat of my heart

This is gospel

for the vagabonds,

never-do-wells and insufferable bastards

Confessing their apostasies

led away by imperfect impostors

(This is the beat of my heart)

(this is the beat of my heart)

(This is the beat of my heart)

(this is the beat of my heart)

Don't try to sleep through the end of the world

And bury me alive

'Cause I won't give up without a fight

If you love me let me go

If you love me let me go

'Cause these words are knives

That often leave scars

The fear of falling apart

And truth be told I never was yours

The fear, the fear of falling apart

The fear of falling apart

The fear, the fear of falling apart

The fear of falling apart

The fear of falling apart

The fear of falling apart

The fear of falling apart

Virgil was shocked, at the way Roman sang. He didn’t even know that the Prince knew the song, much less how to play it.

But as Virgil listened closer and closer, he heard it. He heard the way that Roman let his emotions flow through the keys, through the words, right into Virgil’s heart. It was the way he had fallen in love with Roman, almost - slowly, softly, and then all at once.

Virgil let a small smile work its way onto his face as he heard his boyfriend perform a song that he knew was for him, and for him alone. And yes, Patton and Logan were there, but… in the end, that was a gift from Roman to Virgil.

Everyone knew it, and no one minded. The skill with which Roman played and sang was unbelievable, and they all stood up and clapped for him with enthusiasm.

Patton went up on stage, then, dragging with him Logan. Roman stayed on the stage, and the three of them turned to Virgil.

“So, this wasn’t just another date.” Roman began. Patton continued, too excited to contain himself.

“Roman wanted to do something special for you, like he did for me last week, and he kinda roped me and Lo into it.” The moral side stared lovingly at the two of his boyfriends that were on stage with him.

Logan smiled right back, before speaking. “And so, Virgil, this is our gift to you. We love you.”

Roman was the one to begin the song, the one that never failed to make Virgil tear up right away.

Have you ever felt like nobody was there?

Have you ever felt forgotten in the middle of nowhere?

Have you ever felt like you could disappear?

Like you could fall, and no one would hear?

Well, let that lonely feeling wash away

Maybe there’s a reason to believe you’ll be okay

‘Cause when you don’t feel strong enough to stand

You can reach, reach out your hand

Then Patton joined in, making Virgil smile wider than ever.

And oh, someone will coming running

And I know, they’ll take you home

Even when the dark comes crashing through

When you need a friend to carry you

And when you’re broken on the ground

You will be found

Logan came in next, and Virgil just couldn’t stop smiling and tearing up because his family was proving to him just how much they cared about him.

So let the sun come streaming in

'Cause you’ll reach up and you’ll rise again

Lift your head and look around

You will be found

You will be found

You will be found

You will be found

You will be found

There’s a place where we don’t have to feel unknown

And every time that you call out

You’re a little less alone

If you only say the word

From across the silence

Your voice is heard

(Ah)

(Ah)

(Ah)

(Ah ah)

Someone will come running

(Ah ah ah)

(Ah)

(Ah ah)

Someone will come running

(Ah ah)

Someone will come running

To take you home

(To take you home)

Someone will come running

To take you home

(To take you home)

(To take you home)

 Even when the dark comes crashing through

When you need a friend to carry you

When you’re broken on the ground

You will be found

So let the sun come streaming in

'Cause you’ll reach up and you’ll rise again

If you only look around

You will be found

(You will be found)

You will be found

(You will be found)

You will be found

And Out of the shadows

The morning is breaking

And all is new, all is new

It's filling up the empty

And suddenly I see that

All is new, all is new

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

You are not alone

(You are not alone)

You are not alone

(You are not alone)

You are not

You are not alone

(You are not alone)

Even when the dark comes crashin' through

When you need someone to carry you

When you’re broken on the ground

You will be found!

So let the sun come streaming in

'Cause you’ll reach up and you’ll rise again

If you only look around

You will be found

Even when the dark comes crashin' through

(You will be found)

When you need someone to carry you

(You will be found)

You will be found

The three sides finished strong, for their Virgil. Their sweet, surprised Virgil, who was crying tears of happiness.

They waited, on the stage, for Virgil. They wanted him to feel welcomed, to feel loved, to know that he belonged.

And he truly did, both before and now. He was just grateful that they cared enough about him to even consider doing something like this, all for him. So Virgil felt loved, and he made sure to tell the others as much.

“There are no words as to how much I fucking loved that.” Virgil smirked.

A soft, smiling “Language!” came out of Patton’s mouth, making everyone giggle lightly.

Roman, when finished giggling, went over to Virgil. The Prince picked the Anxious side up, spinning him around the way one would a Disney Princess. Virgil would blush happily, especially when Roman would set him down and kiss him with everything he had.

Patton would initiate a hug after that, pushing Virgil into Roman so that the three traits were caught in a group hug.

Logan would be standing off to the side, smiling, as he watched the men he loves. And then Virgil would turn those sweet, sweet puppy eyes of his on Logan. And Logan would be unable to resist joining the hug, and would envelop the others in such a way that made them feel safe and warm, at peace with one another.

“I love you. I love all of you.” Virgil would say with a smile, as soon as the hug let up slightly (which took a very, very, very long time).

“Aww, I love you too, Virge!” Patton would grin and giggle and blush in the most innocent, adorable way Virgil had ever seen.

“I concur with Patton on this; I love you too, Virgil.” It was one of the few sayings that consistently got a soft, sweet, rare smile out of Logan. Virgil loved that smile; he loved his Logan.

“I agree; you are my Emo Nightmare - no, even better; you are our Emo Nightmare, Virgil. And as much as I love you, I know they do too. We all love you - just as we know you love us.” And there was Roman, never failing to make Virgil blush.

“Well, it’s not like I don’t love you two as much as I love Virgil.” Patton would smirk, making all three of the others blush.

“We know, Patton; it’s only logical, considering how many times you’ve told us.” Logan would smile, playfully teasing the more emotionally inclined side.

“But Logan, I love you!” Patton, with his soft, wonderful enthusiasm, and his sweet nature, and the adorable innocence he carried with him wherever he went.

It never failed to make Logan blush, a feat that Virgil and Roman had each only accomplished once.

And as the four of them slowly made their way back to the Tardis, as they made their way to the home they had built together, they knew that they truly were in love with one another.

And if that wasn’t the best feeling in the whole wide world for the four of them, then nothing was. Logan, Patton, Roman, and Virgil. They were complete with each other.

And everyone in the Mindscape knew it.

• Chris started liking her probably at Pepsi max times too but she wasn’t very aware that her feelings for girls could be romantic at that time so she thought she just wanted to be friends with Ingrid,,,,,we’ve all been there babe

• anygay Ingrid realizes she’s a lesbian around the end of their first year and with that she figures out that she’s still kinda (very) in love with Chris but they’re in different squads now so she doesn’t know how to approach her

• the girl squad is kind of cold to Ingrid at first (especially Eva who’s mostly awkward because of their history) but they start to loosen up on her a bit and she slowly becomes and equal part of their group

• weirdly enough Ingrid gets along the best with Vilde because they have a lot in common (these things include Eva being their lesbianawakening as they realized one day it’s her gay appeal I’m tellin you)
