Y'know. There were several ups and downs when I was working for the mouse, and the downs were always really, really bad. But like also I'm glad for them because four years ago I absolutely would not have said SHIT about being given a shift that conflicts with my availability and just worked it hoping it never happened again. Now I will talk to all four fucking managers who work throughout the entire day I've been here until one of them listens instead of pushing back and getting pissy about me saying it's not my fault and sure, I'll try to find coverage to be nice, but not my fucking problem if I can't find it, can't work the shift, they can't mark me as a no show and they can die mad about it because they should've thought about it before giving me a shift I can't work 🤷
#vent#obvs i said all that in more professional language#but like i was fucking firm about it that yeah i'll humor them and ask around but that's also not my job bc it wasn't my mistake#so if they end up understaffed sucks to suck. only so much i can do if everyone i talked to was booked and busy#not my fault some idiot who makes more than me to do one single task on a 9-2 schedule weekdays only didn't have her shit together#anyways i am Proud of myself bc i no longer take shit#sucks that it took those lows to get to this point but y'know what? i'm grateful#wish i could've learned these lessons a different way#obvs. but i am glad that i did learn them#anyways today sucked but i got almost 7.5 paid hours instead of the 6.5 i was originally supposed to get so ✌️#somewhat makes up for me needing to call out last sunday lmao#also i put up with soooo much shit i am a Team Player if i refuse to back down and choose a hill to die on it means smth to me#extend me to a 10 and a half hour shift and only take a 30 meal break instead of the hour i'm entitled to?#yeah okay sure more money and the break schedule is already fucked so i don't wanna screw over everybody else#gotta clock in half an hour early and stay twenty minutes late? no problem i'm here may as well. plus money#need me to train someone when i only restarted here 2 months ago 4 years after the last time i worked here? sure. why not.#blind leading the goddamn blind and all that but like i also know what situations ppl have gotten most pissed at me in#so lemme teach you how to do some of the shit nobody explains the way they need to#so if i call out it's bc my legs well and truly WILL give the fuck out if i try to stand on them for longer than 5 mins#and if i say i shouldn't be the one to fix their mistake but i'll try a lil. i am a nice person i am a team player i can and will take shit#from them but also i am not a goddamn pushover#i know my limits and i know my worth

9 people you would like to get to know better tag meme
except I'm starting a new post because the one I got tagged in was long as shit. I was tagged by @tacofuus, thanks so much!
Last song: Batter Up by Babymonster. It's a solid 6.5/10 check out
Favorite color: violet/lavender. Really any shade of purple
Last tv show/currently watching: I honestly don't really watch TV. I genuinely cannot remember. The last series I actually watched was Death Note with my best friend and that was last year/beginning of this year. I used to be into anime when I was in middle school and this felt like a return to my roots lmao
Sweet/spicy/savoury: I go with savory most of the time, but my favorite is sweet for sure.
Relationship status: narilamb
Current obsession: Writing fanfic for cult of the lamb. It's been just about a year and a half now and I don't see this dying down anytime soon, cotl has squarely entered full special interest status for me so I'll be here for at least another 3 years. I have a bad habit of making a new fandom blog every time I get a shorter-term hyperfixation, writing for it, getting kindasorta recognized in the fandom, then abandoning my works and deleting the blog when I'm not interested in it anymore. Maybe some of y'all followed me in my previous fandoms and y'all would probably never know bc of orphaned works that I can't find anymore. ...anyway. I've made too many close friends in this fandom to pull that stunt again. the-one-who-lambs and my cotl fics are here to stay. I'm rambling
Last thing you googled: 600 cc in cups (I was making soup but all the good noodle packets from China+Korea give units in cubic centimeters. It's about 2.5 cups btw)
Uhhhhh I don't know who to tag so I'll just pick the most recent 9 mutuals in my notes who haven't been tagged already by taco or the people they tagged lol. Don't feel pressured to do it, though! @artsycryptix @just-a-random-demon-official @miallurk @pikos-den @tokyonymph @mianing @bamsara @coffincrows @fanged-cotl

La Squadra & you go to Costco
Tumblr media
CW: suggestive content, condoms, pregnancy tests, nipples, alcohol,
Notes: Going to Costco is always a bizarre adventure. And I was thinking while shopping… it would be nice to have a strapping young man to help me out so I made this crack 😅 I’m not endorsing Costco in anyway- this is just my way of coping with the stress of buying bulk and dealing with the public! Well this was obviously a quick little post but I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it! 💜 Beryl
Risotto
Really didn’t want to come, he hates being in public and having people stare at him 👀
Has made a few kids cry just by existing 😭 he won’t admit it but it does hurt his feelings 🥺
Buuuuuut it is nice for people to clear the isles out of pure intimidation 👀 just give them dirty looks in exchange for treating your man that way
Will pick up all the extra heavy and unwieldy stuff
He’s uncomfy in the frozen section… everyone is looking at his hard nips 🥶 yes he’s still wearing his typical “clothes”
Maybe buy him a couple of shirts from the clothing section???
He’s going to ask for energy drinks or coffee. The drinks and coffee section is his favorite section. 🖤 after dealing with the public he deserves all the caffeination
Formaggio
He’s gonna wanna Costco glizzy from the food court to see what all the fuss is about
He rates it a 6.5/10 not bad! But he says his “Italian sausage” is better 😘
FORMAGGIO DONT SAY THAT—WE ARE IN PUBLIC—THINK OF THE CHILDREN 😳
Of course his favorite section is the cheese section. Be sure to get an assortment of cheeses 🧀
He’s going to shrink everything he wants and pockets it -mostly the snack food and cookies
You find it very suspicious that he doesn’t ask for anything until you guys get home and he unshrinks EVERYTHING HE STOLE
All the frozen stuff melted though… he didn’t think that through- keeping miniaturized ice cream and frozen pizzas in a warm pants pocket 🫠
Illuso
Why does he have to go? Can’t you do it? 🙄
Drag him by the pigtails in the damn store to help you pick up all the bulk items!
He’s going to complain about the lack of diversity of brands…Kirkland??? Ew! Name brands only Y/N!
Please put him in his place 🙏
He shuts up when he sees the shampoo/toiletries section
You bet your ass he’s going to steal all of that.
Despite his brattiness, he’ll make sure everyone moves out of your way when you push the cart
“ excuse you- coming through! Out of our way please.”
Very kareny about it—you’re both going to get some dirty looks but it gets the job done!
Pesci
He’s more than happy to help you shop!
He has an eye for quality when you’re in the meat section
He can tell you how fresh that fish is and if you’re better off getting it frozen
Please honor his request and buy him some milk 🥺 hell buy him 2! He’s being so helpful!
He’s good at picking up all the heavy stuff.
He even insists on pushing the cart/buggy. What a sweetheart 😇
You need to give him that confidence boost to help him push his way through the isles. Everyone is in the way— show them you mean business and you aren’t a mammoni and are here to get your shopping done TODAY
Prosciutto
Sigh why am I coming with you? You know the dynamics: I give you the money—and then you go out and spend said money. I shouldn’t have to be involved in this!
His attitude changes once he gets to the alcohol section. 😅
He just wants to give you his card and let you fill up the cart till your heart's content
He’s going to lounge about in the furniture section and just chill out.
Your gonna have to play where’s Waldo with him because he’s will purposely age himself to hide from grocery shopping 😂
It only worked the first few times. You already have it burned in your memory what a geriatric Prosciutto looks like.
He’s always dozed off in one of the recliners there with a small group of concerned people surrounding him wondering if he’s still alive. ☠️
Now time to drag his old ass to the produce section and help you find some good looking fruits and vegetables!
Melone
You want me to go shopping with you??? Di molto! I’d love to! We will…have to use your mode of transportation of course.
He’s not strong but with the both of you, you can carry the extra heavy items from the cart to the car.
6 pack pregnancy tests?! DI MOLTO! Bulk condoms??? Di molto!!!
Somebody come get this man he’s scaring the customers with his excited yelling 😬
Keep him on a tight leash—he’s looking for surrogates when we’re supposed to be looking for the everything bagel seasoning 👀
No seriously- put him on one of those child leashes. He should NOT be unsupervised with the public.
If he’s being good let him pick out some ready made meals- ramen , Mac and cheese, frozen goodies like hot pockets etc.
Ghiaccio
Why the fuck do I gotta go to Costco with you? Nothings gonna fit in my goddamn trunk. Have you seen my car??? 🚘
The place is too big and overstimulating to him…but he calms down once he sees the electronics section. 😌
He’s going to compare the specs of each TV… he might even get a gaming console too. Don’t worry he’s paying for it 👍
Do you really need a 25 lb bag of rice? I get that its versatile and you eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and sometimes even dessert—but that’s ridiculously a large ass bag. What if you get tired of it? You don’t ? Well…ok then.
Someone tell this guy about the miracle of chili peppers and air tight containers…😅 (pro tip: my Chinese teacher says airtight containers and a few dried chilli peppers keeps your rice fresh and critter-free!)
He questions why someone would need an excessive amount of certain products…but be patient with this baby and give him the million reasons why it’s perfectly acceptable to buy a 5 pound bag of shredded cheese.
He loves the spicy Korean ramen -he’ll make that fit in his trunk 😂
He also really likes the produce section but worries that the both of them aren’t going to consume the fruits/veg in time before they expire

Tumblr media
She always had those unexpected reactions, her tone or expression often clashing with her words (you saw her smile the widest at “Fuck that bitch and her fancy new whatever, can I suck you off?”), but when she said you looked tense and she’d help you loosen up, you didn’t expect that.
Jiwoo was just your roommate, not exactly the “just your roommate” that asks to copy your homework and not to make noise after 10, more like the “just your roommate” that you have unprompted makeout sessions with during movie night, or right before going to class, or anytime she felt like it, really. It wasn’t uncommon that while making out she would casually offer you a blowjob, what was uncommon is that you’d decline.
One time you were feeling up her boobs and asked to repay the favor, and she asked you if you were sure, said that she’d understand if you never wanted to kiss her, or even talk to her again, then lowered her pants and underwear and showed you her 6.5-inch monster. You simply pecked her and got on your knees. It was your first time, but you did “great, baby boy”.
Since then the two of you started masturbating in front of each other, Jiwoo even using her black dildo on special occasions (you never knew whether to look at her veiny cock or her pretty puppy face, simultaneously focused and completely lost in pleasure) and jerking each other off slowly while kissing. Some of her cum accidentally hit your closed eyelid once, she said she was so sorry, you just picked it up with your finger and licked it off, satisfied. She smiled and cleaned your dick with her tongue.
One day Jiwoo came home looking distracted. She was worried about her driving test (“I’ll get my license when I need one”; she ended up needing one to get from afternoon classes to evening shifts at the coffee shop she worked at, the subway couldn’t get her there in time) and about finals getting closer, she said; you knew there was something else. You made her hot pot that night, then you watched Ratatouille together. She loves Ratatouille. You asked if she was tired, if there was something else she wanted to do. Twenty minutes later you were laying on the couch on top of her, naked.
“I’m putting it in, okay?”
She came three times that night. Before you both fell asleep while spooning on the couch, nothing but a blanket covering your bodies (it was well into May, so it wasn’t that cold), you whispered in her ear:
“I think you’ll do great on your date”
She turned her head. “H- How did you know?”
“I didn’t”
She opened her mouth like she was trying to say something, then probably realized there was no need to. You hugged her tighter.
The date went pretty well. It was a girl she met at the coffee shop, she was a pre-med student who drank lots of coffee and read a little too much Nietzsche for someone her age. Jiwoo said she was just “interested in the human mind”, which is certainly one way of looking at it. Things ended up not working out, but Jiwoo took it surprisingly well. As for you, you’re all for your roommate making her own choices and more than happy to just support her, but you can’t say you were particularly sad about it.
Maybe it’s for the same reason that tonight, you let her have it. You let her play with you, follow her lead, and then, who knows.
What matters is that right now, Jiwoo just jumps onto the couch and starts simply kissing your neck, ridding you of your shirt to access your collarbones, lightly squeezing your cock through your pants in the meantime. You feel up her boobs through her beige t-shirt before she quickly takes it off with your help along with your jeans and her gray waist-high pants, taking no more than twenty seconds. You’re used to her being a little impatient from time to time. She keeps making out with you as she gropes your butt with both hands, humping you increasingly stronger as both of you become erect.
She only stops to get rid of the remaining underwear on both of your bodies, smiling like she has something in mind.Then she extends her index finger in front of your face.
“Wait one second”
You’re not surprised when she comes back from her room with a bottle of lube in her hand. You are surprised when, in the same tone she reminds you to water the plants, gently, but delivering the feeling that it’s something she cares about, ‘cause “without them, it wouldn’t feel like home!”, she tells you:
“Get on all fours”
“Noona?” She’s two years older than you.
“I know it’s scary, okay? I was scared too, but I promise, I promise it’ll feel good. And if it hurts even a little, we stop immediately, I kiss you boo-boo and we watch The Incredibles while eating ice cream” You love The Incredibles, and you love ice cream, but the thought of Jiwoo’s girth splitting your anus open was still pretty fucking scary.
“How about if we skip the kissy boo-boo part?”
It wasn’t what she said, it was her big sister smile, the smile of someone who cares, the smile of someone who, if need be, would protect you from your greatest stan, turned evil after you rejected him, who now wants to pretend-destroy your city and then pretend-save it to look like a hero, or from, a washed restaurant owner, that wants to kill your rat friend, who indirectly cooks rejuvenating dishes, secretly controlling your movements by pulling your hair, I guess?
Anyway, you get on all fours and she softly pats your butt and lower back before squirting some lube on her hands and spreading it thoroughly on her shaft. Then she puts her index and middle fingers on your asshole and starts gently massaging around it.
“Hey, it might be a little cold, okay?”
It is a little cold. But the first phalanx of the first finger feels unexpectedly okay. She slowly goes in deeper and deeper, observing your facial expressions, because seeing you three quarters from the back is enough for her, and listening for any signs of discomfort. She only hears soft mewls, so she places the second finger on your rim and waits. You gradually get used to the feeling and relax more and more, until Jiwoo can push the second digit in, this time even slower than the first. You struggle a little more with this one.
“Shhh, you’re doing so good for me, baby boy” she whispers while kissing your nape. Her reassuring words help you relax a little more, until she can get most of her slender finger in.
“I’m gonna start moving. You just tell me if it hurts, yeah?” Then she begins rotating her fingers inside you, covering your insides with lube. Now that you’ve adjusted to the temperature, it feels surprisingly quite nice. As soon as she deems you appropriately lubed up, she slowly takes her fingers out as you groan. When she’s done, you feel strangely hollow.
“Good boy, my good boy, you did so well” she showers you with compliments while repeatedly kissing you on the cheek. You half-smile back.
“Wanna stop?” You just shake your head.
She takes position behind you on the couch and aligns her rod with you, placing her tip on your asshole. She starts lightly pushing in as you moan out loud, her girth much wider than her fingers. You look back at her and nod to go in, and so she does. You growl as she gradually makes her way into your hole, one of her hands now on your shoulder, the other on your hip.
As you look over your shoulder, asking yourself when she’s finally going to bottom out, she smiles, almost surprised herself.
“A- I’m in”
You take a couple minutes to get adjusted, two minutes filled with “You did a great job, honey”’s and kisses on your shoulders, neck, and lips.
Then she slowly pulls back out, until only her tip is in you. You feel that strange hollowness again.
“Just go in, what are you waiting for?” You look behind, questioningly. 
“Haha~ I knew you would like this” (Touché.)
You can’t say the same, but when she begins thrusting back and forth at a glacial pace, making sure to hit every corner of your hole, any thought of suppressing your moans and “Yes, noona”’s to try to keep a semblance of pride has gone completely out of the window and you’re now in the palm of Jiwoo’s hand. So as she accelerates her rhythm, she simply goes:
“There, there” and moves her right hand to your still erect cock to jerk you off. The built up stimulation from her fingers, to her dick, to now her hand caressing your length makes you explode after only a couple strokes, and many long stripes of white messily paint the couch. Your orgasm lasts what feels like an eternity and you keep growling out loud for more than a few seconds as Jiwoo wraps her hands around you, trying her best to support your limp body.
“You okay?” You still need to take a few deep breaths before you’re able to answer.
“Fuck, that was intense” you’re talking into a pillow, no strength left to even turn to face her.
“You wanna feel something more intense?”
“What? I just came, I’m spent, I have nothing left in me!”
“I’ll do all the work, I won’t even touch your dick! Plus, I still haven’t cum…” She pouts slightly. Fuck, this girl knows you.
“‘Kay, what do I do?”
“Just lay with your back on the couch and your legs open. Get comfortable, I need you to relax~” she says almost melodically, caressing from the top of your head, to your temples, down to your cheeks.
When she sees your eyes close in relaxation, she aligns herself with your hole for a second time and pushes in, this time much more easily. She bottoms out in just a few seconds and in this position, it feels she’s reaching much deeper into you. She notices when you tightly grip a pillow in each hand and groan below her, still not able to express your pleasure through proper words, so she wrings them out of you.
“You like, huh?”
“Yeah. Yeah, noona. Please keep going”
“At your service, baby boy”
She immediately gets into a faster rhythm this time, knowing she won’t last long either. As she pistons in and out of your hole, you feel your guts being rearranged, spikes of pleasure reinvigorating you with energy. Energy that needs to flow out one way or another, and it does through your hands gripping Jiwoo’s asscheeks, guiding, no, throwing her pelvis into you and back out, and through your abs flexing to help your mouth reach up to the lips of the girl above you.
The two of you are now symmetrically slamming your respective hips into each other’s and moaning in each other’s mouths, only partially silencing the sounds of pure, raw sex leaving your apartment. And symmetrically the two of you reach your peaks.
You start spurting the last few drops of cum you have in your body just as she pulls out and jerks herself onto you, two sources of white nectar coming together on your abs, chest, even chin and neck as you and Jiwoo are still French kissing, and keep doing so for a good minute after coming down from your highs, her body now resting on yours.
You wrap one hand around her back and caress her hair with the other while kissing the side of her head.
“Haha~ I take it you liked it”
“Some parts of my body definitely loosened up”
The joke isn’t funny, but she chuckles anyway.
“Thank you, noona”
-
footnotes.
hope you liked it! i wasn’t super happy about some parts, but that’s okay(?). i’m kinda worried i’ll write the same characters over and over again, just changing the names. hopefully it’s just that two different idols in a row gave me the same vibes. we’ll see. may you have a blessed day, dear reader. mmwah. kindly, leaf.

Time for my annual "winning performance according to the official Winning Song Guidelines", aka the Love, Love, Peace, Peace Ranking. This one's gonna be fun.
Get everyone's attention She's literally lying on the floor. Groundbreaking. 0/1
Drums! There has to be drums, +1 for gorgeous topless men and/or a grandmother Nope. Though at least literally every other drummer on stage looked stoked to be there 0/2
Using an old traditional folklore instrument, +1 for an old man, +1 if he has a beard Unless her body counts as an old traditional folklore instrument it's zero points from me 0/3
A violin Would probably be hard to use one with those fingernails anyway but she DOES mention one 0.5/1
Add A DJ who pretends to scratch She scratched the screen a few times I guess? 0/1
Costumes, something that the viewers will notice Her hair was giving me Na'vi vibes 0.5/1
The song is about love or peace I'll give her that 1/1
2/10 not really off to a good start, let's see about the execution
Let the song beginn with passion There was some heavy breathing and I guess you could say she was going for seductive passion? 1/1
Let the wind begin to flow As far as I could tell no wind 0/1
Look into the TV camera It was pretty hard to follow with the camerawork and her eyes looked mostly closed on close ups but I think there was an attempt 1/1
Smile She was smiling after the music was over so 0.5/1
Fill the stage with light The screens above and below her in addition to the flashes made for some interesting lightning design 1/1
Dancers will join us No additional dancers, just Loreen by herself 0/1
Old women baking bread Again no bread this year. As a German I'd walk through fire and trough rain for some but Loreen was too focused on her tattoo 0/1
A man in a hamster wheel Sounded like she was spinning the person she was singing about like a hamster wheel in her head but nothing on stage 0/1
Our hands will touch She probably wanted to touch someone but there was only a screen 0/1

It begins to snow No sudden weather changes 0/1
Burning fake piano I'll never get over this. Where is the fire? 0/2
Russian man on skates Russia is still banned from the stage entirely 0/1
Party for everybody Going by the reaction of the crowd during the announcement of the votes I'd say the party was for someone else 0/1
More tricks in the hamster wheel Maybe her tattoo was of a hamster wheel but we'll never know 0/1

6.5/26
Devastating. The jury should really check the Official Guidelines next year before voting. That's all I can say.
Here's the results for Kalush Orchestra and here's how Måneskin did

The X-Files Season 2 Review (First-Time Watcher)
We made it! I feel like I spent forever watching this season. First my dad was hogging the tv and then I went away to summer camp, but I got there eventually (and what an ending to get to! but that’s for the individual episode reviews).
And wow. For as much as I enjoyed Season 1, I LOVED season 2. I feel like the show took everything I loved about Season 1 and turned it up to 100.
I said somewhere in my Season 1 Review that this show is at its best when it makes darker episodes, and this season certainly realized that because I feel like it was a real tone shift from season 1. The atmosphere felt less campy, much more grim, a lot gloomier. Worse things began to happen, to Scully and Mulder but also to the bystanders, and the stakes felt much higher.
Having watched this season, I’m going to amend that statement and say that this show is at its best when it makes intense episodes rather than dark ones (with the exception of one specific episode. Y’all probably know what it is). For the most part, this season towed that line between intense and dark well, but there were a few times where I thought it was unnecessary gruesome. We’ll get into that in the individual reviews.
The best part of Season 1 was undoubtedly Mulder and Scully dynamic, and oh did this season capitalize on that! Their relationship this season, from the beginning but especially after Scully’s abduction, felt so much more centralized in the story. Entire episodes focused on their bond, how important they are in each other’s lives, and the lengths they would go to for one another. This season was packed with amazing, emotional, often trope-y moments, and kind of read like a high-quality sci-fi soap opera! I was 100% here for it.
This season also had several episodes that I considered phenomenal and very few that I took issue with. The like:dislike ratio for me was definitely much higher than in Season 1. Of course it wasn’t perfect, but I don’t think any television season this long can be perfect, certainly not with the time and budget they were working with.
I only have one big problem with this season. If you’ve been around on my blog, you probably already know what it is. I want to make an entire post dedicated to this so I won’t go too in-depth here, but I was frustrated by the saving-each-other ratio between Mulder and Scully this season, not necessarily because of pure numbers, but because of the way it was done. I’ll make a longer post on this topic in the next couple of days, so if you want to debate me about this, I will politely ask you to wait until I flesh out my thoughts further.
With all that said, let’s get into the individual episode reviews! Some episodes deal with some pretty intense themes, so if you’re not familiar, proceed with caution, or if you have a specific trigger you want me to warn you about, shoot me an ask or a DM.
Little Green Men: A very strong start! The end of Season 1 left me wondering how they were going to stay together, and of course the answer is that they’re going to ignore all the rules and do it anyway. This episode had Scully breaking SO MANY RULES. Character development! And so much MSR. The first time I watched this, I was shocked by how much closer they seemed. Like, what happened in that between-seasons gap? It was also an excellent hook with its alien lore. 9/10
The Host: A decent enough monster of the week, a couple of cute MSR moments. It’s harder for me to get invested when Mulder and Scully aren’t together. Their banter often makes the show for me. I’ll give this a 6.5/10
Blood: I could not take this one seriously. Time has not helped it. The score was SUPER dramatic in this episode, but the threat was…grainy words on a computer screen. Also very little MSR. 3/10
Sleepless: Very solid! Interesting idea with the soldiers not being able to sleep and being killed through their nightmares and guilt. Negative points for lack of MSR and also because I think the Vietnam War elements could have been done better. Still a 7/10.
Duane Barry: And this is where the season took a turn and never went back. I always love the human villains the best. Hostage situations are a great way to build tension and this one was flawlessly executed. I loved how we, the audience, knew Duane was a risk but didn’t know if he was right about aliens or just a liar. And of course, the ending cliffhanger had me screaming. 10/10
Ascension: This was so tense. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. The stakes have never felt higher. Mulder has never been this unhinged and it’s incredible. I wanted to strangle Krycek through the television. I will say the mountain is very obviously NOT Virginia and it’s hilarious, but still my heart was pounding and then breaking along with Mulder the whole time. 10/10
3: All right, so the incomparable @actual-changeling encouraged me to view this episode solely through a character-focused lens. And I tried to, I really did. And I could see the point it was trying to make about Mulder’s self destructive behavior and how lost he gets when Scully isn’t there. But also…Scully wasn’t there and I missed her! And the plot did make no sense. It was hard for me to enjoy this even though I tried to. I’ll give it a 5/10 objectively for the character work but subjectively I was at more of a 2/10.
One Breath: Remember when I said this felt like a soap opera? This is what I meant, but in the best way. Like Ascension, the tension here was top-notch. I can’t imagine watching this live and not knowing if Scully was going to be okay. When Mulder started crying, I was crying too. Plus the moment when he visits Cancer Man (is that what we call him?) points his gun at him, and his voice breaks as he asks why her? Perfection. Cinema. 10/10
Firewalker: This was jarring for me as a West Wing fan, to say the least. That aside, I thought this was pretty solid. All of the MSR moments were great (I might have liked a little more follow-up to the abduction arc, but that’s what fanfic is for!) and the volcanic spores were a decent enough threat. It did feel a little bit like Ice 2.0. Not as good, though. 8/10
Red Museum: I think this episode needed to be two parts. There was SO much going on, from the kids going missing and the vegetarian cult (whom I was rooting for the whole time! Animal rights!), the Purity Control and the guy who killed Deep Throat coming back. The pacing was just so rushed, and the climax lasted for like, 2 seconds. All of the ideas were pretty good though, and we did have the barbecue sauce rib date, so I’ll give it a 7.25/10
Excelsis Dei: What the fuck was this? 1/10
Aubrey: A VERY solid episode. It’s not stellar but it also has no flaws that I can find, you know? An interesting monster of the week, some excellent agent-ing from both Mulder and Scully, and a very nice, tense climax (with an excellent score!) Also my mom’s nickname is BJ so that was hilarious. 9/10
Irresistible: I already wrote a whole post on how much I adored this episode. You can read it here. I was also immediately inspired to write a post-episode fic. You can read it here on Ao3. 10/10
Die Hand Die Verletzt: Remember when I talked about intense versus dark? This is what I meant. This episode felt like it was throwing on horrifying detail after horrifying detail without a purpose. Like, we already had the satanic cult. We did not need the teenage girl talking about CSA and then getting murdered. And it wasn’t even clear how real that was, so why even bother? This was also another episode that should have been two parts. 6.5/10
Fresh Bones: I’ll admit this one had a hard time keeping my attention, but I think I was just sleepy when I watched it. Any episode that tries to get political is always a bit dicey for me (not on principle, I just think txf in particular isn’t the best at it), but this one managed to be decent enough. Overall a perfectly fine episode. 7/10
Colony/End Game: SO MUCH PLOT! But it was two parts so it worked! We got so much alien lore and it actually kind of made sense! The Bounty Hunter was an excellent villain, too, and our agents really felt out of their depth. The dread was real! But none of that is even the point because the entire Samantha clone plot line was totally heartbreaking. I had a feeling it wasn’t really her, but my heart broke right along with Mulder, especially when he was apologizing to his father and he started crying. UGH. And it totally makes sense that being so distraught would prompt him to make some incredibly rash decisions, but luckily he has the actual best partner on the planet. Scully saving Mulder at this point in the season was super refreshing, and the ending scenes in the hospital completely melted my heart. 10/10
Fearful Symmetry: Like Season 1’s Roland, I couldn’t get through this. I’m a vegan and a softie, and seeing animals suffer is always rough for me (rougher than humans for some reason). It felt like maybe they were trying to make a point about animal abuse but it didn’t go far enough. It was weird and not at all enjoyable for me. Objective 2ish/10, subjective 0/10.
Død Kalm: My friend the amazing @theswisscheeserag (check out her Ao3! She’s a great writer) phrased it best. She said “I felt the episode was too ridiculous in execution for an attempt at being so serious.” Right on the money. It’s still Mulder and Scully though so 6-6.5/10
Humbug: The one exception to the “intense episodes are best” rule! Who knew this show could be so funny? They should do this more often! I laughed so much. “We’re exhuming your…potato!” I DIED. I also liked Scully getting to be like “Yeah it’s this insane thing because xyz it’s obvious” and Mulder being like “Girl idk what you’re talking about but you’re a doctor so okay.” A nice role reversal for them! Anyway 10/10
The Calusari: Example number 2 of “this didn’t need to be so dark.” The family curse was plenty! We did not need the dead toddler! Not quite enough humor in this one, which makes sense given the subject matter, but I feel like this whole episode was just unnecessarily cruel. I watched this directly after Humbug and got whiplash. I’ll give it a 6/10
F. Emasculata: Super solid standalone episode! I liked the parallel looming threats of the plague in the prison and the escaped convict potentially spreading it. I especially liked the moral dilemma of what to reveal to the public, and how Mulder and Scully fell on opposite sides of the issue. I like when a show presents me with a moral quandary I can’t answer! 8/10
Soft Light: Despite the pretty dark vibes of this episode, I was kind of zoned out for most of it. Maybe it was because the villain wasn’t malicious, but I don’t know, the threat never felt imminent. It didn’t hook me at all, but then the ending came out of nowhere and it was HORRIBLE. Too horrible! I didn’t need that! I don’t care if it’s supposed to add to X’s moral ambiguity. I don’t need to see that. 3/10
Our Town: This one is tricky. I have many thoughts on it. I’ll try to be somewhat concise.
First of all, I really enjoyed @mulders-too-large-shirt’s review of this episode. We had a lot of the same grievances. You can read her review here (and she also liveblogs every episode! It’s awesome! Check it out!)
So in isolation this is probably a 9/10. Genuinely horrifying villains, some good MSR moments, a SUPER tense climax. All good things! But in the light of the whole season this irked me, because this was the fourth time Scully got kidnapped and also the least necessary to the plot. You could have flipped Mulder and Scully’s roles and it really wouldn’t have changed anything. (In fact, I did! Read the fanfic here).
With that aside, this episode feels like it has a lot of wasted potential. The cannibal cult using people’s bodies for their own ends is another clear parallel to Scully’s abduction, and the show just…didn’t do anything with that. And we know they can do great things with these parallels because Irresistible exists! It just bugs me because the material was RIGHT THERE and there was SO MUCH they could have done with it but THEY DIDN’T.
TLDR: Objective 9/10, subjective 7.5-8/10
Anasazi: This was so hyped up to me that I was worried it would be a letdown but IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Oh my God. Zero flaws. I always say txf reads like a fanfic, but THIS EPISODE READS LIKE A FANFIC Y’ALL. Like I’m sorry, but Scully taking care of Mulder while he’s in shock and delirious with fever melted me. His puppy energy was at 1000000000% this episode and it was amazing. And I was SO worried when he started acting weird because I didn’t know what was wrong with him! But of course Scully figured it out (like I said, best partner on the planet). She absolutely carried this episode and I was very grateful for it. I think she’s right that Mulder would have died if he’d been arrested for murder. Good thing she knew what to do! She’s actually perfect y’all.
We also got so much new information! Like what a lore dump! And WHAT A CLIFFHANGER HOLY SHIT! Like, imagine waiting a whole year for that to get resolved. Just wow🤩🤩
Obvious 10/10, I don’t go higher on principle but like, I would.
Anyway that’s all for this season! I’ll be back with lots of fic and reactions and analysis but I love meeting y’all! This is such a friendly fandom:) Always feel free to come by and say hi, ask me stuff or give me writing prompts! Let me know if you’d like more analyses or anything different posting-wise when it comes to Season 3.

hi
so i made this blog for the sole reason of a silly idea i had, which is:
ranking mötley crüe outfits because we get bored sometimes!!
to start: this photo
Tumblr media
let’s start with mick:
- i love this era of mick btw (can be said about every era)
-the pants are cute ngl, like i think he really liked these cause i have a couple more pics of him wearing them. 7/10 (yo wait i’m looking at the pic again, wtf is that white stuff near his dick…i really hope he didn’t rip those jeans…)
- THE SHOES idc what anyone says those shoes are a serve frfr‼️ i don’t think he’s worn these ones a lot (imo he should of these are so cute) 8/10
-the leather jacket is nothing special imo, like very stock standard looking jacket it’s getting a 5/10
-the scarf…i’m beefing. like we could have gotten a nice chest pic right there and the old man is busy trying to be “modest”, SHOW CHEST OLD MAN 2/10
- which brings us to the shirt, very conveniently buttoned the last two buttons but won’t show us chest, like my guy tommy’s right next to you showing off his tits and here you are- you know what the shirt is still nice so i’ll give it a 6.5/10
mick altogether has a score of: 8/10
next up is tommy:
- ok i can’t exactly see his pants, but i’m pretty sure his has tassels on them, and i’m a sucker for tassels, so that’s an 8/10
- i can’t see the belt he has on so it’s getting a 3/10 sorry tommy nobody can see that
- the shirt (practically half off anyways) will get a 7/10 because you’re not a coward and will show us chest for free (unlike some people >:/)
- once again the leather jacket is the least important part of this outfit it’s getting a 3.5/10 (still more important than that nonexistent belt though)
-the earrings are a plus though, it will get a 6.6/10 they’re helping him serve (not like he needs the help)
so tommy’s outfit will give him: 7.4/10
now onto vince:
- even though we can’t really see the pants, the small part of his foot the camera captured tells us he’s also wearing leather pants…nothing special so 5/10
-he’s actually wearing sneakers, which he’s worn since like probably ‘82 or something like that, which i find funny compared to some of the things he’s worn…i’ll give that a 6/10 for the humour value
- of course, he’s only wearing a leather jacket but i’ll give him a 7/10 for the audacity…we need to start taking notes people (*cough mick *cough)
- the gloves are a bonus actually like that’s kind of a serve ngl 8/10
so vince’s score will be: 7.9/10
now onto our last subject, nikki:
- first thing you lock onto in this photo is nikki’s jacket. that is a great damn jacket my god. putting nikki in my rob list as we speak actually. i will be giving the jacket a 9/10
- the shirt is ruffled (i’m pretty sure the ruffles aren’t apart of the jacket but i wouldn’t be surprised) i actually like that kind of style…secret time: i loved nikki’s phase where he dressed like a gay pirate that only exclusively listened to queen. so that being said, the shirt gets a 8/10
-the pants are obviously leather and we know how i feel about leather pants…it’s getting a 5/10.
- the shades are actually really nice, i love circle frames you can pry that shit outta my cold dead hands- anyways those get a 7.5/10
- the bass will be counted as a part of the outfit…love it, can’t go wrong with black, especially if it fits the outfit 9/10
to complete the set, nikki gets a 8.2/10 (sorry mick this outfit just eats)
this was so much fun to do, i might do more (if that’s what you guys would like too) anyways that’s been the first instalment of “ranking the crüe fits” with your host lily!

rating all NuWho finales based entirely on how cool the titles are
because yea
(putting a read more because this will take a while, lol)
Bad Wolf / The Parting of the Ways
Tumblr media Tumblr media
5/10. Bad Wolf is a cool name! For cool ppl! It’s the season’s mystery! It slays! But The Parting of the Ways? That could be used for like, half of the finales in this show. That’s a generic name. Not a fan. It even has one more “the” than it ought to. That’s a tryhard name. (Rose and The Doc don’t even part ways for another season! It’s a LIE!)
Army of Ghosts / Doomsday
Tumblr media Tumblr media
6/10. Army of Ghosts! That’s freaky! It catches my attention! I’m interested, Mr. Davies, tell me more about that! Doomsday is also a generic name though. Like it could be used anywhere. It gets more points than S1 however because Doomsday is a very cool word and I like it a lot.
Utopia / The Sound of Drums / Last of the Time Lords
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
8/10. YES. I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THESE TITLES. Utopia? That’s a word that can’t be applied to many other episodes! That’s a memorable word! That’s a fun word! The Sound of Drums? What the hell is so significant about drums?? In a FINALE episode?! There must be something SCANDALOUS about the drums, tell me everything! (And they did! But this isn’t about what happens in the episode this is just how hard the titles fuck.) Last of the Time Lords??? Holy shit! That means we’re delving into that aspect of him specifically, and you can’t duplicate that easily! But more importantly, that sounds cool! Cool names, absolutely W from whoever named RTD’s stuff.
The Stolen Earth / Journey’s End
Tumblr media Tumblr media
5.5/10. Same boat as S1, tbh. The Stolen Earth? Excellent, no notes. Journey’s End sounds generic af though. But I gave it a half point lead because Journey’s End has the Vibes more than The Parting of the Ways, lol.
The Pandorica Opens / The Big Bang
Tumblr media Tumblr media
8/10. Yea I see the vision Mr. Moffat, I see you. Love what you’ve done with the place btw. Like, neither title is generic! And both are super interesting! Look honestly I forget how to do commentary I’m just one sleep deprived fan who likes Vibes they just slap OK
The Wedding of River Song
Tumblr media
9/10. Oh. Oh yes. Oh I am LOVING this. Nothing gets me going like seeing a wedding that is somehow the culmination of a high stakes season. Like, how is there a wedding there?! And. River Song is there? Do you promise? 🥺
The Name of the Doctor / The Day of the Doctor / The Time of the Doctor
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
6/10. OK I’m honestly not sure which ones are finales or not, but y’know what? The name matching is fun. I like that. That is good. But besides the first one, these are p generic episode names. Sorry.
Dark Water / Death in Heaven
Tumblr media Tumblr media
8/10. Dark Water is a p good episode name. It’s not the most interesting, but I like it. BUT ***DEATH IN HEAVEN***?! Now THAT is a finale title! I have never SEEN such a title! THAT is an IMMACULATE title! SPLENDID!
Heaven Sent / Hell Bent
Tumblr media Tumblr media
10/10. The matching names? The rhyming? The low-key religious theming? The ominous nature? EXCELLENT. No notes Mr. Moffat. Great vibes.
World Enough and Time / The Doctor Falls
Tumblr media Tumblr media
9/10. I would give this striaght up 10/10 if I could figure out what “World Enough and Time” meant. The vibes are perfect but like. What does it mean 😭 And The Doctor Falls??? OH MY ATTENTION HAS BEEN GRABBED BY THE THROAT DO GO ON PLS—
The Battle of Ranskoor av Kolos
Tumblr media
4/10. Kolos? What is this, Pokémon XY? Anyways, I feel like this is just dialogue that would be said in passing in a sci-fi novel that everyone forgets. Sorry 😞
Ascension of the Cybermen / The Timeless Children
Tumblr media Tumblr media
7/10. Cybermen are OK. It’s a fine title, I have nothing against it. The Timeless Children??? The vibes are just SPLENDID here. Especially because it’s a Bad Wolf situation where it’s like “hey wait a fucking minute I’ve heard that somewhere else—” Good stuff! W for Chris.
Chapter Six: The Vanquishers
Tumblr media
6.5/10. Adding chapter to the title does make it automatically cooler, so that’s a bonus half point right there. Otherwise, it’s neat. Like it’s good. The vibes are fine and I like them, but not THAT fine, y’know?
The Legend of Ruby Sunday / Empire of Death
Tumblr media Tumblr media
7/10. Look, even if it’s not generic, anything with “death” in the title *feels* generic. The Legend of Ruby Sunday still saves this tho, because I am INTERESTED, girl. TELL ME EVERYTHING
In conclusion, episode titles peaked with Capaldi.

LOVE LANGUAGES !!
Tumblr media
ENCANTO KIDS !!
characters included: mirabell madrigal, camilo madrigal, luisa madrigal, dolores madrigal, isabela madrigal
this is in terms of RECEIVING, not GIVING, if this is liked enough i might do another :)
MIRABELL MADRIGAL: quality time
most may think mirabell’s love language would be words of affirmation - considering her family didn’t give her that for most of the movie,
but imo she puts her family and lover into two separate categories, and she doesn’t expect the same thing from each.
and plus, she does like affirmations like “i’m proud of you” not so much “you’re stunning” (as much as she does appreciate it, she would just explode lmfao)
she likes living in the moment with her partner, and it doesn’t matter what they’re talking about, or what they’re doing. it’s a breathe of fresh air - and she needs a lot of it sometimes - especially when she’s stressed.
she loves any kind of love her partner gives, but quality time means the most to her :)
overall rating:
quality time: 10/10
words of affirmation: 9.5/10
gift giving: 7.5/10
acts of service: 6/10
physical touch: 5.5/10
CAMILO MADRIGAL: physical touch
i think the main reason camilo is so into physical touch is becuz this boy CANNOT keep his hands to himself (well, he can, but only if he has to.)
i feel like he’s not a huge fan of words of affirmation and acts of service, he’ll enjoy them coming from u, but there not his favorites.
he doesn’t need words of affirmations becuz he already thinks he’s amazing lol. like you’d go “camilo, ur awesome.” and he’d be like “ik sweetheart, ty for the reminder.”
he also wants to show you how manly he is so he is big on doing acts of service for u, but not so much the other way around. XD
gift giving (or ig receiving in this case) and quality time are something he loves, but physical touch still is at the top.
this bitch is a damn love machine, so he’ll take from u and give anything to u.
overall rating:
quality time: 8.5/10
words of affirmation: 7/10
gift giving: 9/10
acts of service: 6/10
physical touch: 10/10
LUSIA MADRIGAL: words of affirmation
lusia goes through a lot of stress - even after the events of the movie (imo.)
so hearing a simple “your doing great today!” or a “i’m proud of you” makes her cheeks swell from smiling.
she also really appreciated acts of service becuz of this!
she loves gifts, but she feels bad about u spending money on her😭🥹
on top of all this, she loooves physical touch. she loves giving headpats lol. and she loves receiving hugs and kisses, hand kisses will be the death of her heheheheheh
overall rating:
quality time: 7.5/10
words of affirmation: 11/10 !! lol
gift giving: 7/10
acts of service: 10/10
physical touch: 9/10
DOLORES MADRIGAL: receiving gifts
gifts - big or small, mean the absolute world to dolores! to her, it shows you cared enough to 1: buy her something and 2: pay attention to what she likes. and she’s all for it!
your family doesn’t have much money? no biggie! she love’s physical touch too. hand kisses, holding her hips, and playing with her hair are her favorites :) are this things small? yes. but does she love small gestures? also yes.
words of affirmation she also loves, but the appearance based one’s rllyyyy get to her. “you look like stunning today.” or “i love your smile.” are the kind of things she loves :)
quality time doesn’t mean to much to her - as she can always hear her partner anyway. but don’t take that as she doesn’t wanna see you at all, because it’s quite the opposite!
she likes doing acts of service for her partner, and not so much the other way around, just becuz she likes having the feeling of doing something and crossing it off a list.
overall rating:
quality time: 6.5/10
words of affirmation: 9.5/10
gift giving: 10/10
acts of service: 5/10
physical touch: 9/10
ISABELA MADRIGAL: acts of service
home girl can get stressed out - just like the rest of her family, and she really appreciates when it’s taken off of her shoulders.
she really enjoys massages - so physical touch is smth she enjoys.
words of affirmation are sorta different for her, she wants to hear “you’re not perfect, but that’s what i love about u.” or “trying your best is all u can do, don’t push urself.” yk?
isabela enjoys receiving gifts, but it’s not always the way she likes to feel loved, but she cherishes everything u can give her like a diamond🫶
she likes quality time as well - but i can imagine her being busy a lot so sometimes it isn’t always so easy.
overall rating:
quality time: 7/10
words of affirmation: 8.5/10
gift giving: 6.5/10
acts of service: 10/10
physical touch: 8/10
Tumblr media
hey heyyy
i hope y’all enjoyed!
if u wanna request smth go for it!!
if there’s anything offensive/inaccurate here feel free to lmk🫶
love yaaa!! <3

qué bonito // jay (ENHYPEN)
Tumblr media
pairing: secretary!jay x CEO!fem!reader (part 11 of the series)
genre: office!au, fluff, smut (minors dni) // warning: older reader; Jay calls reader “Boss”; fingering; unprotected sex; mentions of marriage // wc: ~10.5k
previous chapters:
part 1 - carmesí part 2 - mi reina part 3 - millones part 3.5 - hasta los dientes part 4 - vente conmigo part 5 - tusa part 5.5 - apaga y vámonos part 6 - versos de placer minisode part 1 - cuando nadie ve part 6.5 - yo te quiero más minisode part 2 - la niña de mis ojos part 7 - aeropuerto minisode part 3 - falling autumn minisode part 4 - night night part 8 - ambulancia minisode part 5 - subtítulos part 9 - al caer la noche minisode part 6 - after last night part 9.5 - the way you look tonight part 10 - mon soleil minisode part 7 - daylight minisode part 8 - subside minisode part 9 - your princess, my queen
next chapters:
click here for the masterlist
summary: once you introduced the idea of house-hunting, Jay was immediately on board. however, between endless meetings, scholarship interviews, and calls from your parents, you feel the extreme amount of pressure build up.
author’s notes: welcome to part 11! this one is long overdue.
I had so many ideas but I kept releasing them as minisodes, and I got busy with work (your girl is a freelancer, so when there is no work there is NO WORK, but once there is work I am swamped), so I kept pushing back and postponing writing part 11--which I deeply regret. in my humble opinion, this part is the most lacking, since I do feel like it's all over the place and very jumpy. nevertheless, I wanted to continue, and after literal weeks I finally finished it.
I apologize if this one is a downer, or if it's not exactly your favorite part. I plan on making more one-shots for Jay's birthday (check out this one if you haven't already) and for our favorite couple, I might write a .5 part. where should we send sec!Jay and CEO!yn to this time? I should probably make a poll.
anyways! the title for this part is a song by Soraya.
How beautiful it is to wake up every morning How beautiful are your eyes of hope How beautiful it is to be with people who love you To have you with me, to have you with me
How beautiful it is to live without so much drama How beautiful it is the love that you give me How beautiful it is to understand that nothing is missing Being with you, being with you
Enough said.

(send an ask if you want to be added)
Tumblr media
For the first time in a while, you were already awake on a Sunday morning, scrolling through several open tabs on your desktop while you rest your feet comfortably as you sat cross-legged on your chair. Your fingers would alternate between scrolling, clicking, and typing to quickly search for the one thing you were looking for.
It was drizzling when you woke up an hour ago, and Jay claimed he had overdone it again at the gym last night, so you did not bother waking him up. Most of the time he would be the one who would wake up before you, so you thought it would be nice to let him sleep in and wake up whenever he wanted.
You heard your bedroom door swing open slowly and you turned your head to find Jay moseying towards you. He reached your desk and immediately bent his body down to hug you, and you reciprocated it while planting a soft kiss on his cheek.
“What are you doing?” He asked with a croak in his voice. “I hope it’s not work.”
You shook your head. “I’m looking for a new place.”
“To move into?” Jay asked again. He grabbed the nearest ottoman to sit next to you, but because it was lower in height, he ended up leaning sideways to your chair and resting his chin on your armrest.
“This place feels too small for the both of us. I was thinking of moving into a three-bedroom apartment, or even a house if there is a nice one,” you explained as you continued to scroll.
Jay frowned. “This place is perfect. If you ask me, it’s even bigger than Heeseung, Jake, and Sunghoon’s place. Super comfy too.”
“Yeah, but,” you paused to place your hand on Jay’s head. Now it felt like you were petting a dog. “Look at where this desk is. It’s too close to the living room. I kind of want a small office. And my clothes take up too much space in our wardrobe. There’s barely enough room for your stuff.”
Jay chuckled and closed his eyes, enjoying your touch. “I mean, it’s your place, so of course that’s the case.”
“That’s exactly my point.” You stopped and leaned in to kiss the top of his head. “I want a place that’s ours.”
It took Jay two seconds before finally giving you a reaction. He sighed and reached for your hand, bringing it to his lips to kiss your knuckles.
“I’ll start looking too. Let me know the details of the place that you want. Three bedrooms? How many bathrooms do you want? Would you want a dining—”
“Jay.”
“Yes, my queen?” Jay sat up straight and looked right into your eyes. His bangs were getting longer, and it covered parts of his eyes, so you brushed his hair back with one hand before pulling him in by his neck.
“It’s going to be our place. Don’t focus too much on what I want,” you whispered.
Jay nodded once before kissing your lips. “You still don’t get it, do you?”
You frowned and Jay smirked before bringing both his hands up to cup your face.
“My life revolves around you now. You’re my priority. Of course I’m gonna focus on what you want.”
You pouted. “Some people might say that sounds sweet but isn’t that a little toxic?”
Jay scoffed once before letting his reaction turn into a chuckle. “It’s not, okay? It’s what I want. To get you what you want. Get it?”
Your eyebrows were now knitted, trying to grasp what Jay just said. The sheer confusion on your face made Jay let out a breathy laugh.
“I’ll start looking for our new place. Okay, Boss?”
You smiled and nodded. Jay pushed himself up to kiss your lips before standing up and walking away.
“What do you want for breakfast?” He asked as he made his way to the kitchen.
“Already taken care of,” you replied, focusing back on browsing for apartments.
Jay looked at the counter and found a plate filled with scrambled eggs and sausages. He noticed that your plate was empty and sitting in the sink.
“You made this?” Jay asked. “When?”
You deemed that all the browsing was tiring your eyes, so you stopped and closed the window. You then swiveled your chair and stood up to meet Jay by the counters.
“It’s not much. We ran out of eggs. If you’re still hungry after eating it we can go out for brunch or something,” you said nonchalantly.
Jay could not keep himself from smiling. He walked over to you and pulled you into a tight hug.
“Thank you,” he said right into your ear.
“It’s just one breakfast—”
“I know. So, thank you. I love you. Let’s go out today.”
You chuckled and agreed to his idea, letting him kiss your lips again but deeper this time. You then broke it off with an excuse that you wanted to shower, so he sent you off with a playful spank on your ass.
---
It was the day of the interview for the shortlisted candidates for your scholarship program. Naturally, as CEO, you had to sit as one of the interviewers. You were worried that your being there would be an issue since you knew your staff so well and you were afraid of forming a biased opinion. However, the other three interviewers, who were representatives from sponsors as well as an executive from a bank, insisted that you be present.
You sent Jay to take care of the internal meetings you had that overlapped with the interview schedule. There were ten candidates, and you were sure the interview was going to take the whole day. As you checked the list, you found that Heeseung was one of the people you had to question before lunch break.
The first four people you saw with your peers left a good impression. You were starting to think that it would be a really tough job to choose only three out of ten, and you had not even seen five people yet. You listened closely as the other interviewers made their comments in between turns, and you only gave your opinion when you were asked to.
Heeseung was the last to interview for the first session. When he came into the room, he immediately locked eyes with you and pressed his lips together, trying his best to keep it professional. He greeted you and the other interviewers politely before sitting down. After being asked to introduce himself, he chuckled nervously and placed his hand behind his neck.
“I’ve actually never done this before and I’m really nervous, so I’d like to apologize in advance for the mistakes I might make,” he said softly, looking at the other interviews.
“No need to be nervous,” you replied as your eyes focused on the documents in front of you. You made a note on one of them before looking at Heeseung. “Just try and do your best.”
The absence of a smile on your face made Heeseung feel even tenser. He blinked once before gulping and nodding repeatedly, letting the other interviewers start the session. Heeseung’s turn ended almost in the blink of an eye, and you did not say much since you did prefer to observe your peers as well as the candidates.
You were glad that the lunch break allocated for you was for two hours, which is an hour longer than what you were normally used to. After sending your peers to Hwiyoung so he could take them out for lunch, you headed straight to your office to wait for Jay to finish his morning meeting.
As you were grabbing a drink at the minibar, you heard two knocks on your door. You were sure Hwiyoung was gone, so you were about to ask who it was when you heard the voice from the other side of the door.
“Miss, it’s me,” said Heeseung.
“Come in!”
Heeseung pushed your door open and appeared with his signature sheepish smile on your face that showcased his perfectly aligned teeth. Your gaze softened and you laughed at his behavior.
“What’s with the face?” You asked.
“Oh, good, you’re back,” Heeseung sighed, placing a hand over his chest.
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Miss,” Heeseung cleared his throat, “you were so scary back there, for a second I thought you were possessed.”
You laughed and shook your head. “You’re being dramatic.”
“I’m serious!” Heeseung shouted in defense. “Is that your boss mode? Or your teacher mode? Is that what your employees see every day? Is that what Jay sees every day?”
“About that last question,” you interjected him after taking a sip of your water. “Are you about to ask how on earth he fell for me if I looked so intimidating?”
Heeseung froze. He pressed his lips together before speaking. “Are you gonna cross me off the list if I say yes?”
“Heeseung,” you sighed, almost speechless.
He was about to defend himself, but you were having none of it, just laughing and dismissing all his complaints. It quickly turned into a playful argument, and none of you noticed how Jay was leaning by the entrance to your office.
“What are we fighting about?” Jay asked after clearing his throat.
Your eyes fell on Jay’s, and you were relieved he was there to stop whatever was going on. Heeseung let out a heavy sigh before walking over to Jay and then patting him on the shoulder.
“Your fiancée is really something,” he said before chuckling and leaving the room.
“You’re on duty tonight, Heeseung. Mr. Lee is out to visit his family!” You shouted at Heeseung after he disappeared out the door. You then chuckled when he stretched his hand back inside, giving you a thumbs up before pulling the door shut.
Jay looked at you as soon as Heeseung left. “What was that about?”
“He was the last person I interviewed earlier. He said I was scary and he questioned how you fell for me or whatever.”
Jay frowned as he took off his jacket and set it on one of your lounge chairs.
“Ignore him, he’s just being silly.” You continued, pouring another glass of water, and bringing it to Jay. “How was the meeting?”
“Good,” Jay answered. “I think I have to cut lunch short though. I need to prepare extra for the next meeting.”
“So, we’re not going to eat together?” You asked. Your hands traveled to your journal that was spread open on the desk.
Jay shrugged. “Sorry, babe. The earlier I prep for this meeting, the faster it ends too. I can go and order something for you though.”
You shook your head and finished the water you had before putting your glass on your desk. You then walked to the sofa in the middle of your office and took your heels off, bringing your legs up.
“I want to take a nap. I’ll order lunch when I wake up. When you leave, can you tell Hwiyoung not to knock until I come out?”
Jay stood by your desk for a while before shifting the weight in his feet. He took out his phone to type something, then sat his phone and his glass of water on your desk, turned his wrist to check the time, and then walked to the door.
“Thank you,” you said as you lay down on your sofa, mindlessly scrolling on your phone in hopes that you would fall asleep soon.
You thought Jay was going to leave quietly, but instead, you heard the sound of your door being locked. You looked up with a frown.
“Jay?”
“A nap sounds nice,” Jay said, loosening his tie as he walked over to you. “Any room for me?”
You lifted both your legs up so Jay could sit on the other end of the sofa, and he rolled his eyes in despair. You chuckled when you feel him take his seat and place both your legs over his thighs. You continued to scroll on Instagram while he placed his elbow on the armrest and rested his head on his hand.
You snorted and stifled a chuckle, and Jay who already had his eyes closed opened them again to look at you. You peered over at him and showed him your phone screen. It was a post about the qualities of a good assistant. Jay started reading them out loud.
“One, be early. Two, be upbeat. Three, ask questions,” he started.
You nodded and lifted a finger. “I agree but if you’re not careful with it the second and third points could be annoying.”
Jay chuckled lightly before continuing. “Four, be efficient. Five, don’t assume. Six, be discreet.”
“You’re good at two of those except being discreet.”
“Thanks, Boss,” Jay said. You giggled and lightly pushed Jay’s thigh with your feet. “Seven, study your boss. Eight, fill your time. Nine, inspire your boss.”
You paused and stared at the ceiling. And then you started giggling uncontrollably.
“What’s so funny now?” Jay asked, squeezing your thigh.
“I think you misread the eighth point. You’re supposed to fill your time, Jay, not fill your boss.”
Jay’s jaw dropped and you laughed at his face. He set your phone on the coffee table and fixed the position of your legs on his lap.
“Is that what you’re doing right now? You’re teasing me? You were supposed to take a nap.”
“And you were supposed to go eat lunch, so why are you here with me?”
Jay cocked his head, amused that you immediately talked back without hesitation.
“About the eighth point.” Jay cleared his throat. “Do you want me to fill you up?”
He squeezed your thigh again and you continued to giggle, covering your eyes with your arm. Since you did not give a proper response, Jay trailed his fingers down your legs and creeped up the skin underneath your skirt.
“I do want you to fill me up,” you finally spoke. His fingers froze between your legs. “And take your time.”
Jay raised an eyebrow, looking at you to confirm. You reached out one hand and managed to grab his tie.
“Come over here.”
Jay scooted over closer to you, making you properly sit on his lap sideways as you pulled on his tie to make him kiss you. He smirked into the kiss, feeling your fingers buried in his hair and your other hand frantically grabbing on his shirt.
“Someone’s hungry,” he mumbled into your lips.
“Shut up,” you breathed.
Jay chuckled and continued to dominate the kiss, shoving his tongue inside your mouth while his arm snaked around your waist. He gripped you tightly, and as your kiss became even more heated, he did not hesitate to reach under your skirt and trace his finger along your panties.
“Jay,” you moaned into his mouth. Your hand was still pulling on his tie and holding on to him for dear life.
“Take it off,” he demanded.
You pulled away to look at him and he gave you a firm nod. You quickly undid his tie and pulled it off his neck.
“Now tie it around your eyes.”
You tittered. “Are you serious?”
“Come on.” Jay nodded. “Be a good girl for me.”
You let out a shaky breath, to which Jay responded with a smirk. Both his hands were already busy holding you, touching you, so you get why he asked you to do it yourself. His tone could not be less demanding, though. And you loved it.
Once you were done blindfolding yourself, Jay made you sit up straight. He unzipped your skirt and took it off, placing it neatly beside his jacket before taking the jacket in his hands. He then asked you to lift yourself up for a moment.
“What are you doing?” You asked softly, your one arm still resting around his shoulders.
“Making sure you don’t make a mess later,” he answered. He placed his jacket on his lap and made you sit back on him, still sideways. “You ready?”
You licked your lips in anticipation. “Mm-hm.”
Jay dipped his head to kiss you and you immediately reacted. You kissed him back, and at the same time his fingers found their place between your legs again and you moaned a little too loud.
“Now, I need you to be quiet,” Jay said sternly. “We don’t know if anyone is outside your office.”
You couldn’t see anything, but you could feel Jay’s hot breath tickling your cheek. You felt his nose graze along your jawline before his lips started placing wet kisses on your neck. You sighed into it and began arching your back. Jay traced another line down your clothed folds, and you squirmed in his lap.
“See, you’re already drenched,” Jay whispered in your ear. “So wet for me, and I haven’t done anything to you yet.”
You whimpered and brought one hand to grasp his collar. “Touch me,” you breathed, searching for his lips.
He chuckled lowly and placed an open-mouthed kiss on your cheek before licking you there. You shuddered.
“Only if you ask nicely.”
You squirmed again in his lap, and he smirked.
“Please,” you whimpered. “Please touch me.”
Jay tilted his head in protest. “Not exactly the words that I was looking for…”
“Sir.”
You swore you could feel Jay’s cock twitch against your ass.
“What’s that, darling?” He asked. His lips were grazing your earlobe.
“Please touch me, Sir.”
In one swift move, Jay pulled your panties aside and began rubbing your clit. You moaned loudly but he was quick to silence you with his own mouth, replacing the sound of your whimpers with the wet sounds of his tongue and lips battling yours. Your grip on his shirt became tighter, and so did his grip around your waist.
He did not stop kissing you even as he inserted a finger into your cunt. Your moans turned into shaky breaths, and he had to keep you still since you were squirming so much on his lap. He pulled away from your lips and you chased for them, whining because of the loss of contact.
Jay noticed the way your legs were kicking at nothing and your toes curling, so he inserted another finger in order to give you even more pleasure. You couldn’t hold in your whimpers, so you buried your face in his shoulder, trying your best not to move too much. The squelching sounds from between your legs were driving you crazy, and you wished you could see how it was making Jay roll his eyes back too.
When you felt him curl his fingers inside you, your body jerked up. Your mouth was agape with pleasure as he squeezed your waist, leaning in closer so he could kiss your neck again. You began biting your lip since it was becoming too much for you, and the stifled moans you let out were in sync with the way Jay was moving his fingers inside of you.
“Jay,” you breathed heavily. “Yes. Yes. Don’t stop. Please don’t stop.”
You almost yelped when you felt Jay’s tongue on your ear. He chuckled lowly before kissing your cheek and then your lips.
“You sound so pretty,” he said. “But keep it down.”
You whined and brought your hand down to grab his wrist. He continued to finger you in a way that was almost aggressive, and it had your body convulsing involuntarily.
“Please,” you whimpered. “Please, Sir. Can I cum?”
Jay smiled and kissed the corner of your lips affectionately, letting your small whimpers escape your mouth. “Of course, darling. You can let go.”
With the pressure from his thumb on your clit and the way his two fingers were stroking your insides, you came on his hand, and on his lap, and made a mess that he already predicted would happen. You tainted the jacket he had laid down underneath you, and you could feel it getting soaked with your own wetness.
“Good girl,” he whispered.
Jay kept his fingers still inside you as you rode out your high, your body still twitching once in a while and your legs shaking from the intense pleasure. Once he saw that you had calmed down, he slid his fingers out and licked them clean before untying your blindfold.
“Hey.” Jay looked at you, brushing your hair back and waiting for you to open your eyes. “Are you okay?”
“Oh my God,” you sighed. You opened your eyes, and he was looking at you with a hint of worry on his face. “I love you.”
Jay smiled and moved to kiss you. You held him in place as you kissed him deeper, hoping it would show him your gratitude. You pulled back to take a good look at him and you noticed that his shirt was all wrinkled around the collar and shoulders.
“Did I do that?” You asked.
Jay looked down and shrugged. “It’s fine.” He moved to pull your panties back to place and made you sit up straight.
“It’s not fine,” you protested, trying to smooth out the wrinkles with your hands. “You have a meeting to attend. You can’t show up with a wrinkly shirt. And your jacket is tainted anyway so you can’t cover it up.”
Jay started giggling because of your panic. “You’re being very wifey right now.”
“And you’re acting like a real husband!” You said in frustration. Jay laughed wholeheartedly as he watched you lift yourself up from his lap.
You stood in front of him, only in your silk button-down and your panties. “Take your shirt off.”
“Uhm…”
“I have a standing steam iron stored under the bookshelf. Let me get those wrinkles out for you.”
Jay mouthed an ‘oh’ before he started unbuttoning his shirt. You weren’t surprised that he was not wearing an undershirt, since the color of his button-down was dark so he wouldn’t need to worry about anything being see-through. You swiftly made your way to your desk holding Jay’s shirt in one hand.
You placed his shirt over your desk and bent over, trying to remember which drawer you stored the steam iron in. Once you found it, you pulled it out and quickly set it up, hanging Jay’s shirt on its pole. As you were waiting for it to heat up, you heard shuffling behind you, and before you could turn around, Jay was already wrapping his arms around your waist and unbuttoning your shirt.
“Jay,” you whined in protest. “You don’t have that much time left for your next meeting.”
“Come on,” he whined back in your ear. “You expect me to sit still while I watch you bend over in your panties? No way.”
“You’re really testing me today.”
“And I know you like it.”
You turned around to look at Jay with a pout. Jay laughed at your expression, booping your nose before reaching both his hands down to your ass to push you into him. Your breath hitched as you felt him hard against your pelvis.
“If you want me to beg this time, I’ll do it,” Jay muttered. “Please. I’ll be quick. I promise.”
You grabbed his hand and led him to your chair by your desk. You pushed him and he fell sitting down, chuckling when you immediately started straddling him.
“Three minutes or less,” you said, reaching down to push your panties to the side.
Jay frantically unzipped his pants and let his cock out, pumping it a few times before aligning himself with your entrance. You placed both your hands on his shoulder as you let yourself sink down on him, and you both moaned in unison.
It was like a switch was flipped in Jay’s head because once he was fully inside you, he grabbed your ass and started rutting his hips into you. You were now used to stifling back your moans, so you did exactly that while you bounced on his cock. You pulled his head to your breasts, letting him breathe onto you as he continued sliding in and out of you. You matched his pace and you both reached your highs at the same time. He planted soft kisses along your jawline while your breathing leveled off.
“You should clean up,” Jay said after catching his breath.
You got off his lap and you could feel his cum trickling down your thigh. “But your shirt…”
“I’ll do it. Just go freshen up first.” Jay stood up and moved to kiss you. “Thank you.”
You smiled and tiptoed to kiss his cheek before walking away, grabbing your skirt as you made your way to the bathroom. It didn’t take you long to make yourself presentable again, and when you walked out, you saw Jay buttoning his shirt up.
“Let me see,” you said as you walked to him, now fully dressed.
Jay stood up straight and stretched his neck so you can evaluate his work better. All the wrinkles on his shirt were gone, so you smiled as you smoothed the ends of his shoulder.
“I make a pretty good husband, huh?” He asked with a huge smirk on his face.
“Don’t ruin it,” you mumbled as you looked away and checked the time on your phone. “You’ve got exactly 15 minutes left for your break.”
“It’s fine, I can grab a quick smoothie and head to the meeting room right after,” Jay said, looking around for his phone. “Actually, there’s something I need to get from my desk. I’ll see you later?”
You nodded and presented your cheek towards him for him to kiss. He chuckled and did so before exiting your office.
---
Hwiyoung looked up from his desk as he saw your door open. He was about to stand up when he realized that Jay was the one walking out of your office and not you.
“Oh? I didn’t know you were in there,” Hwiyoung said, slightly confused.
Jay gave Hwiyoung an acknowledging nod before smiling to himself like an idiot. His smile did not leave his face even while he was looking under papers and opening drawers.
“Why are you smiling like an idiot?” Hwiyoung asked. The puzzled look on his face went away as soon as you walked out.
“Hwiyoung,” you greeted him.
“Miss, did you want to order--,” Hwiyoung let his sentence hang as he observed you and Jay stealing glances. “Oh. Oh, fuck.”
“Language,” you said sternly as you made your way to Hwiyoung’s desk.
Jay continued to smile sheepishly while he typed on his phone. You then tapped on Hwiyoung’s desk to get his attention.
“The meeting that Jay is in, can you push it back 30 minutes? Tell them it’s my order, and that I’ll bring coffee for everyone in it.”
Jay looked up at you and you just gave him a reassuring nod.
Hwiyoung started jotting down notes on his iPad. “There’s sixteen people in it, Miss. Seventeen including Park.”
“Alright, so I’ll buy seventeen drinks.” You then checked the time again on your watch. “I’m gonna go and grab a quick bite with Jay, okay?”
“Yes, Miss,” Hwiyoung nodded and watched as you walked away, linking your arm with Jay’s.
“I wish I was having that much sex,” Hwiyoung mumbled to himself, checking the notes on his phone before shaking his head to rid of the mental image that was about to haunt him.
---
You were bundled up in two different blankets, curled up in a fetal position as you lay sideways on your sofa, watching the newest addition to your list on Netflix. It was only ten minutes into the movie when you started to yawn, wondering why the pace of it was so slow. You then heard the keys beeping on your door and realized that Jay must have arrived from the gym.
“Hey, babe,” Jay called from the doorway. You reached out your hand to wave at him. “Did you order something online?”
You groaned as you pushed yourself up from the sofa. “I don’t think so. Why?”
“There’s this huge package for you,” Jay muffled, his face covered by the box he was holding up.
You jumped over the sofa and jogged towards him, confidently taking the box away from his hands because, by the looks of it, it was not heavy. You flipped it over and around to find the sender’s information, but all you could see was your address and details.
“What do you think it could be?” You asked Jay.
Jay frowned. “How would I know? It’s addressed to you.”
You placed the box down and just stared at it as if staring at it would bring you answers. Jay coughed once before pulling his duffel bag up and heading to the bedroom.
“Maybe it’s like a thank-you gift from one of your sponsors?” He asked nonchalantly.
“No, they’re not allowed to do that,” you answered. You tilted your head and looked at Jay. “Should I open it?”
Jay shrugged. “I mean, it’s your package. Do what you want. I’m gonna go shower.”
You sighed and staggered towards the kitchen to grab some scissors. You carefully opened the box and found another box inside, which was more expensive-looking, and with the words Bottega Veneta printed on its lid. You became even more confused.
Without waiting another second, you pulled the box out and uncovered the lid. Inside, you found a greeting card with your initials on it, and you immediately opened it.
Dearest Y/N,
I know how long you have had this on your wish list. I’m sorry it took me so long to get it for you. I hope you like the color.
-Namjoon
You grabbed the drawstring bag and pulled it open, only to find the padded cassette bag that you, as Namjoon said, had always wanted. It was in a dark brown color, which was not your first choice, but it was beautiful regardless. You remembered that it was the first designer bag on your wish list since before you even started working at your company, and by the time you were CEO you just did not bother getting bags that would not fit all your stuff.
It did not surprise you that Namjoon still remembered. After all, he was always the sentimental type, the type of guy that would indeed remember every small detail about you. You just did not expect him to go out of his way to do this for you, years after your breakup.
You did not notice how long you were just sitting on the counter with the box opened, and when Jay walked out of the bathroom, his movements almost startled you.
“What?” He asked, sensing something off.
“I’m gonna have to give this back,” you muttered, placing the bag on top of its drawstring case and into the box.
Jay walked over to stand on the opposite side of you. You gave the card to Jay, and he read it silently.
“Can’t you just mail it back?” He asked as he placed the card randomly in the box.
“There’s no address,” you said, checking the outside of the box one more time.
“I mean send it back to his house or something. You don’t know his address?” Jay asked again, sounding a little bit annoyed.
You shook your head. “He has moved a couple of times, so I don’t really keep up.”
“So you’re really gonna meet up with him?”
Jay had his back turned to you as he busied himself, getting mugs out and a kettle too. When he didn’t hear your answer, he turned to look at you.
“I mean, I guess? I can’t keep this. Do you want me to?”
You saw Jay staring blankly at the counter for a couple of seconds before shrugging again, trying to let you know that he did not care.
“Jay,” you called.
Jay filled the kettle with water before plugging it in. You cleared your throat.
“Jaaay,” you called again, this time with a little whine.
You pouted, and when Jay turned around your lips curved into a smile. He walked over to you and you immediately pulled him in for a hug. He rested his chin on your head and you took a deep breath near his neck.
“Can’t believe he’s out there gifting another man’s girlfriend,” Jay mumbled, annoyed.
“But I'm your fiancée?” You looked up at him and pouted again.
“Oops,” he whispered against your lips before kissing you.
---
You checked the time on your watch repeatedly as you hurried to the café, still being careful with your steps since you weren’t exactly wearing comfortable shoes. You had to meet Namjoon on a weekday, in the middle of your packed schedules since apparently being a musician makes you even busier than being a CEO. Or maybe Namjoon was messing with you and just wanted to see if you can reschedule and move meetings with the power you possess.
Namjoon told you he was going to sit in a corner, wearing all black, but he did not specify which corner, so you almost went to a table that was occupied by a university student trying to study quietly. You steered away from him very discreetly before heading to another corner where Namjoon had his nose buried in a book.
He looked at you and tilted his head as he recognized the paper bag you were holding. You smiled apologetically and grabbed the chair before Namjoon could even stand up, and then you sat and placed the paper bag in between your legs and his.
“I can’t stay long,” you said, panting.
Namjoon chuckled. “It’s nice to see you too, Y/N.”
“I can’t possibly accept this,” you said without indulging in small talk. You pushed the bag slightly towards him.
Namjoon shook his head. “I can’t possibly take it back.”
“Joon.”
“Y/N.”
There was a brief silence as you both looked at each other sternly. Namjoon sighed and was about to reach for his drink, but he knocked it over and with super speed you were able to catch it before it tipped and spilled all over the table. Namjoon’s hand hung in the air as his eyes fell on your ring finger.
“Well,” Namjoon said, smiling to himself. “Consider it an engagement gift, then. Or wedding?”
You shook your head. “First one,” you murmured, bringing your hand back to your lap.
Namjoon nodded and pressed his lips together, looking at the table since he felt like it was now impolite to look at you right in the eyes again. “Congratulations,” he said, almost in a whisper.
You did not say anything back except to give him a smile. You adjusted the ring on your finger.
“The guys have been asking about you a lot. Taehyung is wondering why you haven’t been to the club in ages, and Jungkook wants to know if there’s a job opening at your place. Hoseok, I think, is more interested to hang out with your fiancé. I don’t know why they’re asking me, though, since you and I barely talk anymore.”
You remained silent as you let Namjoon ramble. It was a habit of his that you had gotten used to. It was probably one of the reasons why you became a trained listener. You then realized that Jay often does the same thing, and you cursed yourself for even comparing the two.
“Anyway,” Namjoon continued after not hearing any reply from you. “I insist that you take it. It gives me peace of mind that I fulfilled my promise and that you get to check one thing off your wish list.”
You looked up at him again. “Joon…”
“Take it and I won’t bother you ever again. You don’t even have to wear it. Just keep it with you. But please just accept it. Don’t force me to take it back.”
For some reason, the desperation in his voice made you feel a lump in your throat. It was odd, though, since it had been ages since the two of you broke up, and it wasn’t even your fault. Maybe the way he felt so bad made you feel so bad, and you began to question if it was normal, or if it meant that you still harbored feelings for him.
“Y/N, you need to say something. You’re scaring me.”
You blinked and refocused on his presence in front of you. “Thank you,” you began, “for remembering.”
Namjoon smiled at you and you saw a hint of bitterness on his lips. “How could I forget?” He said before taking a sip of his drink.
You checked your watch again and Namjoon cleared his throat. You looked at him, but he beat you to speaking first.
“I actually have a meeting in half an hour. I gotta leave now,” he said as he pushed his chair back.
“Me too,” you said, quickly standing up. You stepped to the side and automatically moved closer to him.
Namjoon carefully leaned in for a hug and you hugged him back tighter.
“Be happy, Y/N,” he whispered. “You deserve it.”
He pulled away without waiting for a response from you. He smiled at you one last time before turning around and quickly leaving the café. You watched as he walked away, and then you shifted your gaze to the paper bag under the table.
You thought to yourself that, maybe, the bag would serve as a nice memento of your youth.
---
You found yourself staring out the window and into the view of the city below. Your fingers grasped the strap of your bag tightly, and for some reason the short period of solitude made you feel overwhelmed. After a while, you heard the footsteps as well as the sound of people speaking entering the living room.
“I hope you do like the place,” said Taeoh, your real estate agent. “If not, then I’ve got a couple more places for you to check out.”
You turned around and Jay was already answering Taeoh after he noticed that you seemed preoccupied with your thoughts. You watched them talk for another minute before Taeoh excused himself to answer a phone call.
“Yes? No?” Jay asked once he locked eyes with you.
You merely shrugged and Jay responded with a sigh. Having worked for you for years, Jay knew you were extremely picky, especially when it came to more permanent stuff.
“Should we go for some coffee? I told Taeoh we’re done for the day, and that maybe we can resume looking next week. I’ll find a slot in your schedule,” Jay said, taking his phone out and opening the calendar app.
“You sound like my assistant,” you replied.
Jay looked up at you and his eyebrows furrowed. “I kinda am?”
“But we’re looking a place for us. You’re not here as my assistant,” you complained. You brushed your hair back as you walked up to Jay. “Can you be more husband-y, please?”
Jay chuckled at the word you just coined, letting you rest your arms around his shoulder.
“Old habits,” Jay responded, leaning down to kiss your cheek. “I’ll do better next time.”
“Alright, I know I’m not the buyer, but seeing you two like this in the living room is so picturesque, I feel like making the down payment for this apartment, right now.”
You both turned to look at Taeoh who seemed very comfortable admiring the two of you. He then gave you both a huge smile and you all just broke into laughter.
“I like the place but I want to see more,” you said. “I mean, we would like to see more, please.”
Taeoh grinned and held his thumb up. “Anything for the beautiful couple. I’ll send some links to both of you later this evening.”
---
Jay’s face was buried into the new self-enrichment book that he had borrowed from Sunghoon, who claimed that it was ‘life-changing’ and very ‘eye-opening’. You thought that Jay was never the reading type, but after seeing him work with you for years, and living with you for months, you realized that his habit of reading was just overshadowed by the number of other activities he had to focus on. That was why the two of you were now sitting at a café that overlooked the river, killing time but enjoying the silence together.
As he flicked the edge of the book to get to a new page, he noticed how your hand hung in the air with your phone in it, and how you were staring blankly outside the window. He followed the direction of your eyes and turned his head, squinting and trying hard to find out what you were focusing on. You then sighed and put your phone on the table with a soft thud.
“I’m figuring out how to find the most efficient way to get around town if Heeseung gets selected for the scholarship.”
Jay blinked and for a second he was surprised that you voiced out your thoughts before he asked. He began to suspect if you could read minds.
“You mean, like, you want to look for a new driver?” Jay asked, putting his book face down on the table.
You tilted your head as you sucked the air between your teeth. “Would that be wise? Is it better to just have Mr. Lee work on weekdays, and then just get around on the weekends using public transport?”
Jay chuckled. “It’s like you’re forgetting that you have me. I can drive us around.”
“Yeah, I don’t want to make you sit through traffic. It’s already stressful enough. And finding a place to park?” You shuddered just by imagining the horror, and Jay laughed softly at your reaction.
“I don’t mind,” Jay said, grabbing your hand to kiss your knuckles. He then started sniffing the back of your hand obnoxiously and you had to pull your hand away before people started to stare. Jay merely chuckled, all amused.
“Taking the subway doesn’t sound so bad. If anything, we can get to places faster,” you continued, shifting your focus to the people walking by the river. “And if it’s a close distance we can just walk.”
“Walking takes longer, my love,” Jay replied nonchalantly as he grabbed his half-empty glass of iced tea.
You shrugged. “I don’t mind if it’s with you.”
Jay would be lying if he said his stomach didn’t do a somersault. All these hours together with you and he still gets butterflies.
“Alright then,” Jay said after clearing his throat. “I gotta make sure that we leave the house with comfortable shoes though.”
“I’ll let you be in charge of that,” you responded, picking up your phone again. “You’re going for basketball with the guys tonight, right?”
Jay checked the time on his watch before answering you. “Yes, but I still have a couple of hours before I go. Should we go and get takeout for your dinner? Or do you want me to cook up something for you?”
Sometimes, you felt a little selfish, and all you want to do is to have Jay do everything for you. But these days you have been learning to consider his side more and weigh the options to see which choice would make him exert the minimum amount of energy.
“Takeout is fine,” you finally answered. “I’ll have anything you pick.”
“You trust me that much?” He asked, smiling.
“You’re my secretary and my fiancé. Not trusting you would be a dumb move. And I am not dumb.”
Jay laughed before he nodded dramatically, agreeing with your words. You asked him if he was done reading, and he said he was even though he wasn’t, for all that he wanted to do was attend to your needs.
---
It was almost midnight when Jay arrived home. Before that, you had your dinner and opted to watch an animated movie, but your session was interrupted by a series of nonstop texts from both your parents who reported that one of your cats was ill. You calmly responded to them, giving detailed instructions on when and where they can bring your cat to the vet. You even asked Mr. Lee if he could drive your parents for the rest of the week, at least until your cat gets better.
Within minutes, the situation was handled, but you couldn’t help but worry about your family. You almost wanted to leave for your parents’ house immediately, but then you thought it would not help at all, and it’s not like being physically there would magically cure your cat. The news tanked your mood for the rest of the night, and before you know it you were already crying as you lay sideways on the sofa.
When Jay called out to greet you, you replied with a small wave, stretching your hand as much as you could so he could see where you were. You didn’t expect him to immediately walk towards you, though, so you quickly wiped your tears away before he could even see your face.
“Hey,” Jay said, gently lifting your legs so there was room for him to sit. “What are we watching?”
The time it took you to answer was unreasonably long, and when Jay turned to look at you, you were holding back tears. It did not take a second for Jay to end up on the floor, holding your hands while he looks at you full of concern.
“Can you tell me what happened?” He asked calmly, rubbing his thumb along your hand.
You took his hand and grasped it as you broke down crying. Jay stayed in place, patiently waiting for you to let it out, but once he noticed how you were struggling to breathe, he moved his hand to the small of your back.
“Let me help you sit up, okay?” Jay said, placing your hands around his neck for support. He made you sit straight, and you continued to sob, and for a while the only thing he was able to do was to sit by your side, keeping himself quiet as you rested your head on his shoulder.
“It’s my cat,” you began once you found the energy to speak. “My parents texted me.”
Jay turned to face you sideways, bringing one leg up on the sofa and resting his arm behind your back, gently caressing your shoulder. He listened as you told him everything, even showing Jay the messages in your group chat with your family. You told him how having pets for you was a source of happiness and stress at the same time, and he instantly remembered the way you would order him to run pet errands back in the day when he just started working for you.
Once you were done, he caressed your face softly and wiped the last of your tears away. You leaned into him, and he instinctively pulled you into a warm hug. He gave you the tightest hug and you sighed in relief, breathing in his scent.
“I’ll chat with your parents if it takes the burden away from you. I still have the number of your pet clinic, you know?”
You nodded, bumping your head to his chin, and he smiled before kissing your temple. Your arms loosened around him, and he took it as an opportunity to pull back.
“I’ll run you a bath and make you tea, after that let’s just call it a day and sleep early. How does that sound?”
“I don’t even want to do skincare.”
“I’ll do it for you.”
You looked into Jay’s eyes, and you felt like drowning in them. Before you could choke up and cry again, you nodded, and Jay got up so quick that you felt a gush of wind hit your face. He then leaned in to kiss your cheek.
“Sorry,” he said softly. “I’ll let you know once it’s ready.”
The rest of the night went slow. As you took your bath, Jay sat on a small stool beside the bathtub, distracting you from sad thoughts by telling you the funny episodes that had happened earlier while he was hanging out with the boys. When you smiled or chuckled a little, Jay would smile back and tilt your chin up to see you better. The cup of tea he brought to you when you started your bath was emptied within minutes, and when you were done, he continued to take care of you by putting on your skincare, not letting you even lift a finger.
As you changed into your silk pajamas, Jay excused himself to take a shower. You lay down on your bed and faced your side as you scrolled your phone, and minutes later, Jay was already out of the bathroom and clicking his tongue in disapproval.
“No phone. I’ll reply to your parents,” Jay said with a stern voice, gently taking your phone away from your hands.
You watched as Jay quickly dried his hair and changed into his own pajamas, and when he climbed into bed you held the covers up so he could scoot in easily. His hands found your waist in no time, and he snaked his arms around you as he pulled you closer to him.
“Try not to think about it too much, okay?” He started as he closed his eyes but continued to talk to you.
You started asking him about random stuff, and he would answer you with his eyes closed. Sometimes he would take a short pause, and you thought that he had fallen asleep, but before you could say his name again, he would answer you. After a couple minutes, the way his hand was softly stroking your back made you feel even more relaxed than before, and you caught yourself staring at his half-asleep face.
“Jay,” you whispered.
“Yes, Boss,” he whispered back, holding in a smirk.
“Let’s get married,” you said.
Jay chuckled, keeping his eyes closed. “We’re already doing that, love.”
“I mean let’s get married tomorrow. Or soon. As soon as possible. Without a wedding reception.”
Jay slowly opened his eyes and found yours staring at him, glossy from either the reflection of the night light or the tears you were holding in.
“But you deserve a huge wedding. We can afford it, and I’ve already made a list of all the vendors—”
“I don’t want one.”
You blinked once and you shed a single tear, letting it trickle sideways to the pillow. Jay brought his hand up to caress your face.
“It could just be us, with our parents. We can find someone to officiate, and I don’t even have to be in a wedding dress.”
“Y/N, listen…”
“No, you listen.”
Jay licked his lips nervously, afraid he was going to say something wrong. He let you hold his hand in yours, intertwining your fingers together as you continued.
“I don’t need a fancy wedding. I don’t need an audience. I just want you to be my husband as soon as possible. I don’t care about anything else.”
Your lips began to tremble, and Jay ran his thumb across them to keep you from falling apart again.
“Are you absolutely sure?” He asked calmly.
You nodded. “Don’t you want it too?”
“Of course,” he replied without missing a beat. “Of course, I do.”
You tilted your head up to meet his lips, and when he kissed you, it felt electrifying. You couldn’t be more sure about this decision.
“Then it will be the first thing I’ll do in the morning. Give me two days max, and we’ll make it happen. Deal?”
Jay’s manner of speaking made you chuckle, and this time you cried happy tears. “Deal,” you whispered in response.
“Good,” Jay nodded before pulling you back into his arms. He held you tight and kept your head close to his chest. “My heart aches when you cry, so please forgive me for doing this. You can cry all you want, but you’re just gonna have to let me hold you close.”
You smiled between your soft sobs, and you spoke right into his chest, sending vibrations through his body.
“Thank you,” you sobbed. “I love you.”
Jay squeezed your shoulder before moving his hand back up your head to stroke your hair, knowing it was the fastest way to make you fall asleep.
��I love you the most.”
---
The following week went by in the blink of an eye. After another day of asking if you were sure, Jay handled everything and kept his word of communicating with your parents. Your cat got better within days, and around the same time, you heard from Jay that he had found someone who could officiate the wedding.
You meticulously went through your wardrobe, finding a dress that had the perfect length and the perfect color for your mini wedding ceremony. Jay was by your side the whole time, giving you the input that you didn’t even know that you needed. You finally decided on a beige-colored A-line dress with puffy sleeves and a skirt that reached your knees. While you were trying it on, Jay took out a necklace that at first you thought was the pearl choker that he got for you from his London trip.
“Is this new?” You asked, tracing your fingers along the necklace as he gently clasped it behind your neck.
“Yeah, I robbed a jewelry store this morning,” Jay said nonchalantly, his mouth pouting in concentration.
He then looked at you all seriously for two seconds before breaking into laughter, and all you could do was ruffle his hair.
Your marriage ceremony took place in the City Hall, on a Thursday evening. Your parents, as well as Jay’s, stood proudly as you walked into the hall. Mr. Lee was the first one to shed a tear as he kept his eyes on you, and his granddaughter had to tug him to get his attention. Your mother squeezed your father’s hand when you smiled at them, and Jay’s mother blew you a kiss when you made eye contact.
The ceremony was short and sweet, yet your heart felt like exploding once you heard the words ‘you may kiss the bride’. Jay’s lips touched yours in the softest way possible, and you were lost in your thoughts for a couple of seconds before you heard the faint sound of clapping from both your parents and Mr. Lee’s family. You looked over to your mother, who was holding up her phone since your brother had phoned in and demanded a video call.
You walked over to Jay’s parents, and his mother pulled you into her arms. While you rested your head on her shoulder and nodded to all her words, Jay’s father calmly wiped the tears streaming down your face with a handkerchief. Meanwhile, your father had his arm around Jay’s shoulders, pulling him in close as both your parents began to lecture him or praise him—you honestly could not tell the difference.
You give your small wedding bouquet to Mr. Lee’s granddaughter, who squealed so loud it echoed throughout the room. You then thanked Mr. Lee and his wife for making time to attend the ceremony, and you thought you had shed enough happy tears, but when Mr. Lee said he wouldn’t miss it for the world since you were already like a daughter to him, you bawled again.
“You shouldn’t be crying so much on your wedding,” Jay said as you nestled your face into the crook of his neck. “It makes me look bad.”
You chuckled and softly punched his chest. He only hugged you tighter.
Soon after, there was a slight argument over ways to get home—Mr. Lee insisted on driving you home and you refused, claiming that he should be taking his family home, then Jay insisted that he would drive, but then your parents said no groom should drive on his wedding day, and then the argument quickly spiraled to other things.
You saw Jay getting distracted with his phone, and when you were about to ask him, you heard someone entering the hall. Almost all of you turned at the same time, and you smiled widely at the sight of your second driver, the younger Mr. Lee.
“Hello,” Heeseung said awkwardly, nervous to be around old faces and important people. “I’m here to save the day.”
The ride home was quite chaotic too. You were texting your parents and Mr. Lee nonstop, begging them to tell you when they arrive safely at their homes. Jay also had a short call with his mother, and throughout the whole thing, Heeseung merely stared at you both through the rearview mirror.
“You guys really should have invited me to the ceremony,” Heeseung said. “The way you could have saved yourselves from the argument.”
“Thanks for coming on short notice, Heeseung,” you replied as you leaned in and gave him an acknowledging pat on the shoulder.
“Well, you know, your best friend texts you claiming he had just gotten married and needs a ride home. I would be a jerk for not dropping everything to come and help, right?”
Jay scoffed and rolled his eyes. Heeseung chuckled a little before clearing his throat.
“Congratulations, you two,” he continued. “When I see you two together, it just makes sense.”
You smiled and turned to Jay, who had been looking at you the whole time. You rested your chin on his shoulder, and he placed a gentle kiss on your forehead, mouthing the words ‘I love you’ as you closed your eyes.
---
“So wifey,” Jay cleared his throat, “what should we order for dinner tonight?”
You almost snorted at the new nickname, but Jay was looking at you in anticipation with a stupid grin on his face, so all you could give as a response was another stupid grin.
“I don’t know, hubby. You pick.”
“God, I’m so lucky,” Jay sighed, picking you up like a princess and spinning you around. You giggled and begged him to stop before he gave you a headache, and he kissed your lips after laying you down on the sofa.
“I kinda feel like tacos. What do you think? If that sounds meh I can order you a burger from the same place,” Jay spoke as he scrolled through his phone.
“Burger is fine. But can I just take a long shower first while we wait for the food to come?”
You reached out for his hand, and he stood firm as you used him as support to stand up. He nodded and you happily trotted into your bedroom, unzipping your dress along the way. Jay stood there for a while admiring your back before snapping back to his senses and actually placing an order for your dinner.
The food arrived faster than predicted, and Jay was wondering why you were taking so long, so he went after you and carefully pushed the bathroom door open. You were standing with your eyes closed and letting the warm water wash all over you, while you were belting out notes to the song that was playing through your Bluetooth speakers. Jay chuckled in amusement and leaned on the doorway to comfortably observe you, but his private show only lasted seconds since you turned around and almost gave yourself a heart attack.
Jay laughed out loud once he saw your surprised face, and because you were embarrassed, you gathered enough water in your palms to splash him. He shrieked out of shock, and it was then your turn to cackle loudly.
“Don’t just stand there! Join me,” you demanded.
“I was waiting for you to ask,” Jay replied, quickly unbuttoning his shirt.
You welcomed him in your embrace as he entered the small space, and when his hands touched your waist, you flinched from the cold of his skin. Jay pulled you closer, pressing your body to his as he began kissing your neck like he had been waiting all day to do so. You closed your eyes and whimpered when you felt his teeth grazing your collarbone, and you could feel him harden between your legs.
“Jump,” he whispered beside your ear. You pulled back and looked at him, unsure. “I got you.”
He held you by your ass as soon as you wrapped your legs around his waist, and he gently pushed you up against the wall. The cold on your back contrasted with the heat of his body, and the way his lips continued to kiss you along your neck made you roll your eyes back. You held on to his shoulders tighter, and he nudged your chin with his nose before bringing his lips up to yours.
Once his tongue enveloped yours, he entered you with a gentle force. You moaned helplessly in his mouth as he continued to devour your lips, steadily moving his hips against yours. There was no other sound except for the running water and the soft slapping of skin, and as you kept your feet hooked around him you began caressing his face, keeping your foreheads pressed together.
You finished first, and as you both panted and took in each other’s breaths, he squeezed your ass harder before thrusting slowly. You brought him close and made him rest his face on the crook of your neck, and your moans were soft against his ear as you felt him chase his own high before releasing himself inside of you. Only then did he carefully let go of your legs, moving his hands up to your waist to make sure you were able to stand up.
His display of love did not stop there. Jay continued to caress your body for a hot minute before helping you wash your hair and rub your back. You instantly returned the favor and you both giggled after you shaped his hair into an obnoxious faux hawk. The two of you stepped out of the shower feeling completely clean, and you did your skincare routine side by side, sometimes nagging him when he tugged on his skin too roughly.
“Are you already sleepy?” Jay asked as he noticed your eyes looking heavy.
You fought back a yawn before answering. “I’m more hungry than sleepy. Why do you ask?”
“You mentioned how you’d feel relaxed after having sex with me,” Jay said, moving his face towards your cheek until it was inches apart.
“Do not start a second round, otherwise I will make you redo all of my skincare steps,” you warned him as you stared sharply at him through the mirror.
Jay huffed before standing back up straight. “Okay, Boss.”
You headed to the kitchen with Jay trailing behind you. Then you both sat at the kitchen counter, enjoying the burger meal that had already gone cold. As you listened to Jay talking about the most random stuff and almost choking on a French fry, you realized that there was nowhere else you would rather be, and you wouldn’t have your wedding night any other way.

My friends, I am pleased to announce after thorough review and analysis I have put together a totally unbiased and completely academic ranking of Boyd Holbrook’s characters’ sexual prowesses, ranked from best to worst.
For your viewing pleasure and fandom rage. Behold.
Ty Shaw - Fucking amazing in the sack. He’s enthusiastic. He’s game. Wanna bring in another boy or girl?? Hell yeah, partner, he’s down! This man is the best combination of eager to please and self-confident without being cocky – and he’d absolutely take it in stride if you asked for him to change positions or switch things up. Life is a rodeo and he’s ready to ride! Or be ridden! 10/10
Klaber - As much as it hurts me to say it, he’d be pretty damn good. He’s got that big puppy energy and working dog excitability, and he’d definitely be bringing that into the bedroom. He seems like the sort that would let his partner take the reigns - but he can service top and service dom just as gamely as anything else. And tbh, unlike a bunch of Holbrook characters, he seems too dumb to really be able to get too in his own head about sex. 8/10
Quinn McKenna - He’d be perfectly competent. He knows what he’s doing. He’s down to do it. He’s got stamina and knows how to effectively utilize his strength and his body. He doesn’t seem particularly self-conscious, and he also seems like he’d be pretty tuned-in to his partner’s pleasure. THAT BEING SAID. He would absolutely be distracted. He’d be thinking about that meeting he has tomorrow morning as he fingers you. His endurance would be insane, but he might fall asleep on top of you before he finishes. He might kink shame you. …But he might still do those kinks anyway. This is unfortunately the last Holbrook character that is unequivocally good in bed. 6.5/10
The Corinthian - I am frankly a little amazed that the Corinthian has gotten such a fandom reputation for being a sex god! Look. This boy screams “pillow princess” so goddamn loud. He strikes me as someone that’s not afraid to get what he wants, but also doesn’t give a single shit if that’s also what his partner wants. He is a hedonist, and he is here for *his* pleasure, and unless you’re his master, you’re just the thing giving him that pleasure. That being said, he’s definitely picked up a couple tricks over the years he might bust out if you’re lucky, and watching him enjoy himself would certainly be a show! But good chance he also kills you and eats your eyes after. 5.5/10
Steve Murphy - The one thing I can say about our favorite DEA agent is that he’s *trainable*. Look. This is somebody that will do what he’s told and commit to his tasks with a laser-like intensity. He will work hard! But I doubt he thinks to communicate much about sex on his own, and if his partner doesn’t force the issue, he’s just gonna do the Standard Sexual Routine and assume you probably came sometime during the missionary. 5/10
Donald Pierce - This boy is kinky as all hell, and don’t get me wrong, there are absolutely circumstances where he could probably be a fantastic sexual partner. HOWEVER. He is just oozing insecurity and self-image issues - good luck getting him out of his own head long enough to even coax a full erection out of him. Pierce is constantly fronting and putting on a show - no way he’s gonna stop doing that when the clothes come off. In fact, it might just get worse! All that being said… he probably is pretty good at oral, and your orgasm is more important than his. 4/10
Clement Mansell - Similar to his singing, sex is a skill Clement thinks he’s amazing at, and is not. His arrogance and certainty that his dick will take his partner straight to nirvana only serves to make the mediocre foreplay and jackhammering that much worse. He will sprawl out on the bed afterwards with a self-satisfied smirk and drawl something like, “Told you I was good!” or “Bet you need breather after that, baby.”. He buys Magnum condoms he doesn’t need. The one upside is he’s got that energizer bunny gusto – if you *are* just into vigorous penetration, he’s the guy for you! 3.5/10
Cap Hatfield - Does not have sex. Does not want to have sex. 0/10
I sincerely hope I have done some psychic damage to my followers!! I welcome any additions or dissenting opinions!!

Ninjago Ship Thoughts
First and foremost I’m gonna tell you my head-canons for the ninjas sexualities since it’s probably gonna affect my thoughts on the ships.
Cole - Gay - the entire “dad I’m a ninja” is so fucking queercoded so that’s my reasoning.
Kai - Bi - this man primarily flirts with women but he gives strong bisexual energy and I stand by that.
Zane - Pan - I don’t feel like Zane has a strong enough grasp on gender for it to affect who he dates.
Jay - Omni - I feel like he has a preference for women but I feel in my soul that he’s at least had a crush on a guy before.
Nya - Bi - I don’t know if she’s ever had a crush on a girl but a girl has definitely had a crush on her and she would not be opposed to dating a girl.
Pixal - Pan - I feel like she has a better grasp of gender than Zane but gender doesn’t affect who she likes.
All other characters are up in the air for me. I lean towards seeing lloyd as aroace but I’m not certain. Anyway I’m with my thoughts. (These are in no particular order)
(Jaya) Jay/Nya - let’s start with a canon ship! I like how this relationship is portrayed in later seasons and they have some cute moments earlier in the series, but I definitely like there relationship post Nadakhan the best (I’ve butchered the genies name I know it) Jaya is sweet and I’m happy that Nya was given strong characterizations outside of her relationship with men overall I’d say this is a solid 8/10.
(Pixane) - Zane/Pixal - I love this ship so much, she has half his fucking heart and there both so great. Zane and Pixar are both fully independent who love each other and there so cute. I think one appeal of this ship for me is that I can see the both as romantic or platonic partners because they both mean so much to the other. Anyway love this ship 9.6/10
(Kailor) - Kai/Skylor - I love Skylor she’s super cool but this pair really only interacts once and awhile to briefly flirt before they just go there separate ways. Obviously both of them are busy so it makes sense that they don’t get a lot of time together. Kai definitely had a crush on Skylor and I think Skylor reciprocated those feelings. There cut and interesting but don’t have as much development as they need for me to be compelled to be invested. Solid 6.5/10.
(Llorumi) - Lloyd/Harumi - these two have a fascinating dynamic that I think is really fun to watch but I cannot see them as romantic partners. I know some people see them as siblings and I really don’t see them that way. And again there really interesting as a duo and while I want the pair to heal and improve there relationship I don’t really want them to date. Overall 5/10 cool duo don’t see them as romantic.
(Lloykita) - Lloyd/Akita - It’s pretty cute, I love Akita so I do hope we see her again. There relationship feels like a summer relationship they have this brief sweet period of time together and they leave on good terms unsure if they’ll ever meet again or if the other will still have feelings if they do meet again. I also really like the idea of these to being together in a queer platonic way. It’s really cute and I love both of the characters individually so it’s a pretty solid ship in my opinion. 8/10 it’s sweet.
(Conia) - Cole/Vania - it feels like a lesbian and a gay man being best friends. I love these two I think there great friends and could even see them being platonic partners but like I don’t see them doing more than that. Solid 5/10 cool pair don’t see it as romantic.
(Lava) - Cole/Kai - There so cool and I think this ship is really fun. I think that these two are both really great characters who mesh well I can totally see them dating and think it’s a really cute ship. These two are bonding over there weird ass family lives and crippling self doubt! These two are a cute pair 9/10
(Bruise) - Jay/Cole - these two are so silly and honestly this is a cute ship. I think Cole was definetley involved in Jays realization that he wasn’t straight. I think this is a cute ship but not one I have super strong feelings on 7/10
(Mudshock) - Jay/Cole/Nya - the best solution for a love triangle is polyamory. That said I wasn’t a big fan of the love triangle but in Ninjago since Cole didn’t actually seem interested in Nya, and Nya only was interested in Cole cause a matchmaking system said so. These three are definitely great friends who joke about the love triangle and hang out but I don’t know that it’s my favorite ship. 6.7/10 Cute but not great.
(Polyninja) - Jay/Cole/Kai/Zane - I think this is probably one of the greatest things I have ever seen. All of these characters are so close and care for each other so much. Together they can help each other grow and thrive. It’s really an awesome ship solid 10/10
There are lots of other ships I will talk about but I’m supposed to be doing my summer class final so I’ve gotta go try to be responsible. Anyway have a good day/night I love seeing comments so say hi if you’d like to :D

Loki and Sigyn:Lessons on Chaos, Laughter, & Loyalty from the Norse Gods by Lea SvendsenBook Review
So I’m currently in Uni, bored out of my wits. So why not do a book review? Go ahead, get comfy, grab your favorite snack and drink and grab your pet too and let’s hop to it.
About The Author
Lea Svendsen, comes from a line of heathens and has a long standing experience with the Norse Pantheon. According to her blog she is incredibly fond of Loki and has written the book I’m currently reviewing. She went on what I can only guess is a hiatus and has recently posted to her blog on the 22nd of August of this year. To give you an idea of how much experience, she’s not just a devotee to Loki but a priestess to Sigyn and is currently with Llewellyn. Lea has also hosted workshops about Loki and Sigyn which has earned her not just the respect and reputation she worked hard to maintain but also very close to Loki and Sigyn.
Book Review
So here it comes: the brain dump. So I genuinely think this book is pretty good, but it’s heavy with information; but what do you expect from someone who has years of experience and has a high status within the heathen community? I wouldn’t ask anything less than from Lea as she has made a point in her work that she does, in fact, 100% knows what the hell she’s talking about. This isn’t a light read, this is kinda heavy on the readings which has made it difficult for my neurodivergent brain to clasp onto and keep my attention on. This is one I should’ve definitely got as an audio book as I am a slow reader and this more likely one of those books I can listen to and tidy up my room or listen to while showering. I want to read this more, I really do and I’ve tried, but my brain needs some help (Luckily I have Olly Lazed Focus Gummy vitamins that I can use to see if they work better with my medication).
I think this book is for more experienced people who want a refresher or want more information from an experienced practitioner/devotee/priestess. I can however see this as a beginner friendly book if you have a much stronger attention span than I do (thanks ADHD-I *eye roll*). Overall it’s a pretty good book, just heavy on the information. Perfect if you enjoy books with tons of knowledge though. I also feel as though it could’ve possibly been condensed wording wise, and I really want to love this book but it’s so heavy that I do get bored. I firmly believe that the audiobook would be much better rather than reading it normally. So I gave it the rating I did because the book is just so heavy and wordy however I don’t ask for anything less from someone of Lea’s expertise. However the information in it is really good, it’s immaculate and juicy with information for starving brains craving knowledge. The book would probably be better as an audio book rather than an actual text.
Rating
6.5-8.5/10
Epilogue
I’m still bored in Uni lol. I’ve been wanting to pump out a book review for a hot minute now but I’ve been busy as hell. I’m also on the pathway currently to burning out as well which sucks. I can feel it, and all I want to do is cry because of it. It’s hard having school, internship back 2 back, and then work on the weekends in the city hoping that traffic isn’t as cringy or even existent anyways, I hope everyone is doing better than I am! I hope you enjoyed this book review for today! I’ll post this upcoming Friday… hopefully lmao
