← REASON #4 || MASTERLIST || REASON #6 →

REASON #5

You didn’t need a bachelorette party, but your friends digressed.

Jennie took the liberty of charting your private jet for a small girl’s trip to Paris. Though, you were pretty sure she just wanted to go to visit the Chanel store on Champs Élysées.

“So, spill the tea,” Jennie said to you with her famous feline-like smile. “How does it feel to be married to Jaehyun?”

Your tongue poked your cheek and you tried to refrain yourself from huffing out in frustration. “We’re not married yet.”

“Engaged, soon-to-be-married, married—in the end, isn’t it all the same?” Krystal commented with an air of nonchalance. “All of those specifics are not going to matter anymore in a matter of–” she glanced at her watch. “–thirteen hours and twenty two minutes.”

“No, it’s not the same.”

Your two friends noticed how the tone of your voice didn’t match with one of a happy bride that was about to get married in a day. They shared a look of concern and scooted closer to you.

“I thought the purpose of flying my jet instead of commercial so that we’d have our own personal space,” you mumbled tiredly.

You could practically feel the hesitation behind their words and actions, and you sighed. You never meant to turn the atmosphere into one where your best friends needed to tiptoe around you.

You wondered whether you should tell them the truth about the whole situation. While they knew that your marriage was most likely arranged (a common occurrence in your world), they were also clueless to a number of details such as the fact that Jaehyun was still very much with his girlfriend, that you only went through with the engagement to spite him, and that Jaehyun hated your guts.

Or did he?

After the conversation you two had in your penthouse, you never saw each other again, other than just for a few dinners with the two families. You two never spoke to each other properly since then, so to speak. That was about almost a month ago.

You also took in more surgeries than usual to avoid thinking about the what-if’s and the nature of your relationship with Jaehyun.

Were you two now... friends?

You rid yourself of that idea. As long as you were going to stay married to him, preventing him from being with Chaeyoung, the idea of you two being friends was simply not feasible.

Not to mention your lingering feelings for him was an obstacle to whatever relationship you two might potentially have.

You bit your bottom lip in slight apprehension.

Jaehyun was no stranger to your feelings, whether they be romantic or negative. But wouldn’t it be better for your mental health and well-being if you two were to be civil with each other?

Your two feelings were not only at the opposite ends, but they were also clashing. And thinking about the way you had to treat Jaehyun onwards was more complicated than it seemed.

You thought that your romantic feelings for your fiancé was gone once and for all after your engagement party. But the way they so quickly resurfaced, like taking a breath of air after being underwater, showed that what you did was just bury them in hopes that they never recover.

Your efforts proved to be futile.

“Say, have you already gotten Jaehyun a wedding gift?” Jennie asked when she sensed that you had calmed down.

Your fingers tapped against the arm rest, thinking about the olive branch Jaehyun had extended to you. The one that made you think whether you’d be a monster for refusing it.

“Mhm,” you hummed as you came to a conclusion. “I think I know what I will get him.”

The wedding ceremony was kept relatively small, despite the media’s attention.

You wondered if that was how your wedding was supposed to be, because it certainly did not match with the vision you once had.

You glanced at your wedding band, one that you were certain that Jaehyun asked his secretary to get.

For some odd reason, it reminded you of Doyoung, of how he was also someone you were supposed to marry.

Only, your engagement fell through when you refused to go with him to Germany.

You glanced at Jaehyun who was sitting in front of you, and you felt an odd sense of déja vu. What was the point of using your private jet again if you weren’t given the space you hoped you would get? You would have thought that Jaehyun of all people would select a seat that was away from you, but contrary to your expectations, he didn’t.

If anything, he looked excited to be going on the honeymoon with you.

“What should we do when we land?” Jaehyun asked you as he was looking through a brochure on things to do in Venice. “I heard that Venice is always packed with tourists. But since it’s slowly sinking into the lagoon, it’s good that we get to visit it before it completely disappears, right?”

His excitement was unnerving to you.

“...Venice is sinking because of climate change and tourism,” you muttered as you looked outside, the jet slowly descending to land in the Venice Marco Polo Airport. “And besides, who says that I was going to spend time with you?”

Jaehyun seemed surprised by your statement. “What do you mean? Aren’t we on our honeymoon?”

“I don’t recall saying that we aren’t?”

“Then, why are we not spending time together?”

“Why do you even want to spend time with me?” you refuted almost in annoyance. “I know it’s not enough that we’re now married against your will, so shouldn’t you thank me that I’m giving you space?”

Jaehyun fell silent.

You immediately felt awkward at his reaction, not expecting him to be disappointed by the fact that you wanted to be away from him.

But shouldn’t he be happy that you were giving him freedom? He could do whatever he wanted!

But this was one of the times where your feelings for him took over whatever hatred that was left in your heart.

You sighed through your nose. “There’s a little bit of time before check-in and we haven’t eaten lunch yet. Let’s go grab a bite together.”

His face instantly brightened up at your words and went back to his brochure. “Oh, we can–”

“Drop the brochure,” you said with a small smile. “I’ll bring you to my favourite place in Venice.”

Your favourite restaurant in Venice was a very small and cozy restaurant nestled in a side alley called Vini Da Arturo, a gem of a place you have found before you became a surgical intern.

“Ernesto!” you exclaimed happily as you two finally arrived at the restaurant. “Ciao!”

“Ah, bella!” Ernesto replied with the same enthusiasm. “The usual?”

“Yes, thank you.”

Ernesto glanced at Jaehyun who only smiled obliviously. “That’s not the same man I saw you with last time.”

While Jaehyun was not fluent in Italian, you remembered that he was fluent in Spanish instead. And those two languages were practically the same. Yet for some reason, you hoped that Jaehyun didn’t understand what Ernesto just said to you, even if you had a feeling that he probably wouldn’t care.

“This is my husband, Jaehyun,” you said not exactly answering his question. “Jaehyun, this is Ernesto, the restaurant’s owner.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Ernesto,” Jaehyun greeted him. “I look forward to your food.”

“You won’t be disappointed!”

Ernesto brought you to your favourite table, which was the second to last booth from the back. Close enough to the kitchen that you could hear what was going on, but not close enough that you’d be bothered by the kitchen commotion.

“Do you know why Ernesto’s restaurant is so special compared to the other restaurants in Venice?” you asked giddily, ignoring how conflicted Jaehyun’s eyes seemed at the moment.

“Jaehyun?”

“Huh, yeah?”

“Did you hear what I said?”

He closed his eyes for a moment. “Yeah, no, sorry, could you repeat that?”

“I said, do you know why Ernesto’s restaurant is so special compared to the other restaurants in Venice?”

He shook his head.

“Ernesto’s restaurant doesn’t serve fish dishes,” you answered. “Only meat.”

“A small restaurant in Venice that doesn’t serve fish dishes?” Jaehyun questioned. “Pardon my language, but is he mad?”

You laughed. “A mad genius! Trust me. You’ll see when you taste his pork chop and eggplant salad.”

True to your words, Jaehyun did call Ernesto a mad genius as soon as he took a bite of the pork chop.

After eating, all you wanted to do was get back to your hotel and sleep off your jet lag. But Jaehyun’s eyes begged you to hop on a gondola and tour around Venice. You understand that it was, surprisingly, Jaehyun’s first time in Venice, but you were staying a whole week in Venice—he’ll have enough time to tour the city on a gondola.

So, the compromise you two came up with was a water taxi. Though, because the hotel you were staying in was already so close and at a walking distance from the restaurant, you two had to walk back to the S. Toma’ “A” ferry terminal—located around ten minutes walking-distance away from Vini Da Arturo—so that Jaehyun could fully enjoy the water taxi ride.

Twenty-five minutes later, your water taxi arrived at Hotel Danieli, your favourite hotel in Venice. You loved it due to its rich history and architecture. While the outside looked like the rest of the city, it was the interior décor and architecture that always blew your mind away.

“Welcome back to Venice, signora,” the hotel concierge greeted you. “The Doge Dandolo Royal Suite has been prepared for you and your guest.”

You smiled in thanks and handed over your passports. “Our documents.”

“Thank you,” he said as he processed everything. “The hotel would like to offer you a complimentary night free of charge, as one of our most esteemed guests. Would you and your guest like to stay for another night?”

You didn’t know Jaehyun’s schedule, but you weren’t about to refuse the offer.

“We’ll stay.”

“Wonderful,” the concierge continued. “Will everything be charged to the card we have on file?”

“Yes, please.”

“Amazing,” he said and handed you the keys to your room. “Enjoy your stay.”

You followed the bellman to your room and tipped him as soon as he dropped off your luggage. Jaehyun’s jaw evidently dropped at the grandiosity of the room. The Doge Dandolo Royal Suite was exquisitely decorated, reminiscent of 14th century Italian Renaissance-style.

Perhaps the opulence of the room scared Jaehyun a little as he stuttered out timidly, “S-so, h-how much d-does it cost for a whole w-week here?”

You stretched your whole body as you walked across the room, taking everything in. “I don’t know, it costs around 9500 euros a night so do the math.”

“9500 euros?” he exclaimed in disbelief. “Wait, so that’s about 67 000 euros for a whole week?”

“I mean, they’re giving us a complimentary night so it’s technically for eight nights.”

Jaehyun glared at you. His glare was so fierce that it reminded you of when you two first found out that you were engaged to each other.

“Do we have to stay in such a luxurious suite?”

You found Jaehyun’s attitude curious and intriguing.

While Jaehyun would be considered as nouveau riche, he certainly didn’t act like one. Most of the nouveaux riches you knew loved flaunting their newly accumulated wealth.

Aside from a few of his expenses, Jaehyun was quite particular with his money. It almost made you chuckle as you remembered just a couple of months ago, he was screaming at you that you shouldn’t look down at him for having less money than your family and that contrary to your beliefs, he indeed was able to afford the lunch at Yuta’s hotel.

“You and your family paid for the wedding,” you answered easily. “My family and I can pay for the honeymoon.”

It took a moment for him to accept this compromise, but Jaehyun seemed satisfied with your answer.

“Okay,” he said. “Also, have you thought about what you want to do tomorrow?”

You looked back at him with a weird expression. “...You want to spend time with me tomorrow too?”

It was probably the first time you’ve ever seen Jaehyun blush in front of you. “Well, whether I like it or not, we are married and are on our honeymoon! Shouldn’t we spend some time together before we head back home?”

This was unexpected.

You planned your honeymoon around the fact that Jaehyun didn’t want to spend it with you.

Did this mean that he didn’t hate you anymore?

“I don’t.”

“Huh?” You realised belatedly that you might have asked that question out loud and Jaehyun heard it.

“I don’t,” he repeated, “actually hate you.”

“Oh,” you answered dumbly. “That’s... good.”

“So, tomorrow?”

You shrugged and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

“We’ll see.”

Whether you liked it or not, Jaehyun’s sudden shift of attitude towards you was one that made you question his true intentions.

You constantly reminded yourself that just barely month ago, this man hated your guts with a fury for supposedly ruining his life. And one small and insignificant action on your part suddenly made him think of you differently?

What kind of game was he playing?

You didn’t know, but one thing you knew for sure was that you would emerge as the game’s winner.

Hi, I really liked when you wrote Jennie hc, you could do with Lisa hc. Thank you

Blackpink headcanon: Lisa as your wife

Requests are open

Hello! I hope the result satisfy you 😄💙

Blackpink Lisa X GN!Reader

SFW Content

Before Marriage

We don't know when we will meet our true love

People always think to the most romantic and impossible scenarios

But the first meeting could be in an unexpected situation, like in the case of you and Lisa

In fact you two met for the first time in a disco

And where is the news? People always meet each other there

True, but you were there to work as bartender

So when this beautiful girl started to flirt with you, you were stunned

You thought she could be drunk, but actually she was totally sober

Or better, she was drunk of you: for her it was love at the first sight

At the end you conceded her to take you out the next day

You didn't knew that was the start of your relationship

Relationship that in few time became a marriage: just a year

She couldn't wait any longer, she was madly in love with you

Conjugal Life

Your wife is a vulcano lol

No, seriously, she never stops

Especially if you are involved in the activity

At least three times per week she NEEDS to dance with you

And every place is perfect to do it in her eyes: the practice room, the disco, your house, even in the middle of the street

And when you're not dancing, you're cuddling

You two...and yours various pets

In winter you don't need a blanket, you have Lisa and the L family who keep you warm

The members don't even ask you a niece, because you already have something like ten kids lol

Sometimes you return home and you find her sleeping on the sofà

She tries so hard to wait you awake but she's always so tired at the end of the day

But in the moment you wake her up, she's bouncing around the room again lol

One of the most funny thing for you is seeing other people trying to hit on her

And she's always so unbothered

"Mmm yeah, whatever. However let me introduce to you my soulmate: come here Y/N!"

The person face drop so hard when Lisa kiss you so passionately

You will never doubt Lisa's fidelity because you know that she loves you and you love her

NSFW Content

This woman is not hot, she's the fire herself

And she burns you everytime

Don't let me start about her legs

Long leg Lisa in bed is phenomenal

Because thanks to her legs she could ride you for hours and hours

And yes, she's a dom

She could be cute and silly in normal life

But in bed she own you

Even if she loves to be penetrated anally

The way you eat her pussy while the dildo goes in and out her ass makes her cum so hard

Sometimes she even squirts

Time to catch her breath and she's all over you again

Now it's your turn to cum over and over

And trust, it will happen

Because she's phenomenal with her hands

And she knows even some tricks with her feet

At the end you two are practically drained

But you are also so satisfied

Feel free to disagree, but there has to be a reason why, as your one anon put it, they continue to poke the bear when they could just not.

think about other celeb couples that were controversial or hated by fans; Harry and Olivia, Sebastian and his gf, Henry and his gf, ana and Ben affleck (not sure if hated but annoyed a lot of ppl lol during Covid).

What did all of these couples have in common? They all continued to push through even tho fans reacted so negatively (usually the fan base on the male counterpart side). Sebastian got vilified by his own fan base and it was quite similar to the CE stuff. His own fans became his worst haters and he was canceled at least a dozen times. He ended up leaving SM likely due to it and there was a ton of times you could tell he was having a meltdown due whatever what was happening. The main difference between him and CE was that Sebastian made it more obvious he was seeing all the hate (he literally captioned an IG post, thanks for the love, thanks for the hate) and then made comments on interviews that ppl were stalking him (not untrue). But he continued to show up with ale despite getting attacked everytime.

Henry put fans in their place and keeps showing up with Natalie. I think his situation is a bit different but maybe also the same.

Harry and Olivia kept showing up with each other but during don’t worry darling press it looked like they barely ever interacted (did anyone think that was odd they did a whole press tour and I don’t think they interacted once? But she kept showing up in pap pics with him later).

Ana and Ben got made fun of relentlessly due to their Covid pap walks. But they didn’t stop. The comments were relentless on every tabloid and ana clearly was scarred by it all, but she still had to push through and keep showing up with Ben.

This is my theory:

CE continues to be associated with AB despite the backlash because he, like all his predecessors, have to be.

He just doesn’t want to have to be seen with her unless he has to be.

His reserved list of friends continue to allude to spending time with her and her crew. AB also doesn’t appear to want to address CE publicly, but continues to let herself be associated with him and hide unless it’s to let people speculate she’s with him.

This is their way of pushing the narrative instead of doing pap walks.

They did do one and you could tell, I think, that AB has never done anything like this before. She looked completely out of her element and CE did not look like he wanted to be there at all. He’s hiding his face behind a mask outside. They got made fun of by fans and tabloids alike. To my knowledge, they haven’t really done one since.

I think they can’t make it believable but they need to, just like all those other couples. So this is their only route. They have to continue pushing the envelope, despite backlash and despite fans getting so upset and more and more rabid.

It’s the same formula, but you’re not seeing them “together” because either one or both sides refuses to flaunt it, so it’s causing some team real to make assumptions they’re just private.

No, real privacy - you wouldn’t know a thing. CE doesn’t live in LA. He could keep his dating life on the DL which he apparently had all these years after breaking up with Jenny S. Its only when he dates an actress or HW person that these things don’t remain on the DL.

I’ve always thought that if AB was a real thing, those ten months leading up to their public reveal would have given him/them reason to not go public. He and his family were harassed so much that they all retreated to hiding away. The comments about AB, just rumors, were abhorrent. I think they could have kept it secret and just kept on keeping it secret.

But they didn’t. Which tells me, they had to make it public and they have to use it for publicity. He had to let her show up to his movie premiere because it was big press for him, first movie of the year. If they wanted to keep it private, she could have not attended. But she showed up and pretended he didn’t exist and vice versa. By contrast, Ana was happy to be papped with her bf on the same day of the premiere, but we don’t get that with AB. Just her showing up looking like she played dress up in her mom’s closet.

This may now be a very unpopular opinion, but I think everything that’s happened this past week gives more reason for PR than not.

You can disagree, but this is what I’m seeing. They have to continue this and this is CE’s workaround. I don’t think he’s an idiot. I think he is much smarter than people give him credit for. Also, I’m thinking him having to show up with her in CP and post those IG videos probably had him cringing for weeks after. All the comments coming from haters probably has him sick to his stomach and it’s probability why he looked so solemn and nervous the first day of that comic con. I also think for the fans or I guess haters? That are sticking around, you’re going to be here for a while. He’s stuck in this and I think it’s going to continue, like you, mod, have said - until it’s run it’s course.

I agree 💯 I don't have to add anything :)

ROLEPLAY HISTORY!

The rules are simple! Post characters you’d like to roleplay as, have roleplayed as, and might bring back. Then tag ten people to do the same (if you can’t think of ten, just write down however many you can and tag that number of people). Please repost, don’t reblog!

CURRENT MUSE(S):

here on smiletimeisrunningout but also previous blogs:

Emma since before 2012. Though she kinda counts like more than one muse considering she has several main universes and then adaptations to other shows lol

on my multi savingthrcw but they are all either severely canon divergent or even alternate universe versions or ocs, with only a few exceptions:

Sarah Walker (Chuck) (closest to canon)

Jenny II (Doctor Who)

Stella (oc)

Terra from (ff6)

AU Jemma Simmons (Agents of SHIELD)

Kate Austen (Lost)

Ana Lucia Cortez (Lost)

the Book and Tvshow versions of Alina Starkov (Grishaverse) (may sorta be put on hiatus soon because I didn't write them as soon as I added them and I feel I'm forgetting how I meant to write them lol)

Ellie Bartowski (Chuck) (like Sarah she's close to canon but has canon divergent verses)

Alex McHugh (Chuck) (like Ellie)

Solona Amell (DAO) modded player's character

Neria Surana (DAO), player's character

Lily Tabris (DAO) same as Neria

Ellana Lavellan (DAI) player's character

Lex (BG3) player's character

Tauriel (The Hobbit)

Rose Tyler (Doctor Who) Bad Wolfed version

Emma Swan but nearly closed (OUAT)

Clarke Griffin (The 100)

WANT TO WRITE:

(But will not write for sure because I don't have a grasp of 'historical' English language and I could never write the correct dialogue for them, and I'm not going to butcher canon characters making them speak in an unjustified modern way)

Penelope Featherington (Bridgerton)

Young Queen Charlotte (from Bridgerton universe)

Mary Woodhull (Turn WS)

Yennefer (The Witcher)

(But I will not write because I don't think I can channel them properly)

Inej Ghafa (Shadow and Bone tvshow)

Parker (Leverage)

Claire Littleton (Lost)

Daisy Johnson (AoS)

(And I might write)

ocs I'm picturing in my head

HAVE WRITTEN:

Bucky Barnes (MCU) around 2012 when characterization didn't really matter and we were tremendously ooc but having fun

Ruby and Belle from OUAT, same as Bucky

Maria Hill/Robin Scherbatski as mentioned above

oc inspired by Lara Croft

other versions of canon Emma Swan (OUAT)

Snow White and her mother Eva (OUAT)

Elizabeth Swann (POTC)

canon Jemma Simmons and more canon divergent versions with their own (surprisingly long lived) blogs

Britta Perry (Community)

Lily Evans (HP)

more that I have forgotten

WOULD WRITE AGAIN:

my oc Ada

tagged by: @honorhearted and @pagetreader tagging: @retrograderesemblance @writtenxbeginnings @annastrxng @hqlfbloods @trcstme @serpcntes @gccdstories @forthewinn and anyone who wants to jump in!

Just say you’re a closeted Taekooker and go. The Taennie situation is suspicious? No it’s not. Lol. Taehyung is dating Jennie, get over it. And I’m curious as to why you think that “realistically speaking” no ship is real? These boys have been close friends for more than ten years, is it impossible for romantic feelings to develop? I bet there are a hell lot more ships in Kpop that are/were real and will never be revealed. Queer people are everywhere, and the entertainment industries is especially saturated with us. :)

My first “closeted Taekooker” accusation🫢 Finally!!!?

Provided my last three posts were just me defending Taekook from “fanservice” allegations, I expected this much sooner so thank you but you definitely missed the mark on this anon lml.

Anyway, I didn’t use the word suspicious. Although it has similar connotations to “weird” or “strange”, I still don’t think “suspicious” is what I was going for. It’s just weird *shrugs *. I think many people can see that. Like I said in the post, that opinion is independent of them actually dating or not. Even if Taehyung posts a picture of him and Jennie tomorrow, I will forever stick with my opinion that the way their relationship was dealt with in the public eye for the last year or so is strange. And at the end of the day, it’s just my opinion. Jennie and Taehyung definitely don’t care what user mimibwi on tumblr has to say about their relationship😭.

About no ship being real. The comment isn't meant to disprove the existence of queer people. I do know that we exist. I also don't get why you thought I was implying that because the members possibly being queer isn't limited to ships within BTS. They can all be attracted to men and still not be dating each other...

When I say "realistically” or rather “If we’re looking at this seriously” (which is what i actually said), I am looking at BTS as what they are- a brand, a business. When we see BTS what they're doing is working, this is their job. And I fully stand with anyone who thinks that it's possible that the members could have developed feelings for each other. However, I also am of the opinion that these men are professional and I think the chance of them taking (what can be seen as) a huge risk to their brand, career and future is very small. (A chance being small doesn’t mean impossible) And once again, this has nothing to do with their sexuality and everything to do with them wanting to maintain the integrity(?) of BTS as a team. I know shippers play around with things like "maybe they broke up" or "maybe he left x for y" and those are all good when it's just fun and games but that isn't what these real people's lives are. Can you imagine how much of a strain it would put on the team's dynamic if Jikook or Yoonmin or Namjin or whoever you ship were together and then break up, whether amicably or not? This is looking at it in a very negative way but I think if any of the guys were to ever date or mess around, all of these things would've or at least should've been considered. So the reason why I think it's less likely that any ship is "real" is the same reason I think it's unlikely that any of the boys have messed around with their stylists or makeup artists etc. Can it happen? Of course. Is it advised? Probably not. But these two situations can’t be looked at on the same scale—there are a lot of nitty gritty details that make these too different but i won’t bore you much longer. Either way, BTS are global pop icons and I doubt it will be very easy to deal with a fallout (a break up, them possibly being outed etc. etc.) of any relationship amongst a group of their capacity and the members are surely aware of that.

As I mentioned in the post, I am saying all of this as a shipper, as a person who, on some days (my most delulu ones), wonders to myself how everyone doesn't see that the members of my ship have serious romantic feelings for each other. I am an overthinker, I think of as many possibilities under the sun as I can. And notice that I keep saying possibilities because none of my opinions are ever meant to enforce any particular views on anyone. I am just looking at things from many different perspectives. This is my HR/PR perspective here lol. I can even try to look at it from Bang PD's perspective and even he wouldn't have the final say on whether the boys decide to pursue a relationship or not. At the end of it all, It's up to the members of that ship whether they are willing to take the "risk" or not and my hunch usually leans towards them not being willing to (this is once again something I can expand a bit more on but i’ll save you from it) which is why i shared that opinion anon.

This is a topic I have many thoughts on, my views on it aren’t limited to what I’ve expressed here— it’s just difficult to explain. I can debate with myself for a long time on why i think it’s likely no ship is real while still being a shipper. The whole point of that opinion wasn’t to declare that “no ship is real so give it up”. Instead it was meant to encourage shippers to doubt themselves cause some of y’all (maybe not you specifically) are just too comfortable and confident when you could just be loud and wrong. We could all be wrong.

Just an advice please do not go with taekookers narrative of the comapny is protecting them (tk) and all. Being in the fandom for 4 years i can tell you that it's just their coping excuse. Like you tell me how do you think they're hiding one gay couple (tk) by selling (according to them) another gay couple (jkk) ? Like how the hell does that make sense? Like do you wanna tell me that the comapny is protecting TK's gay relationship by making jungkook do fanservice with another member? Like so exactly are they protecting jungkook or not ? Does this even make sense?

See tk were very close at the beginning but in later years they kind of drifted apart and because of that same reason tkkrs did not got any moments so they came up with the excuse of this "Tk is private and not for cameras". Jungkook and taehyung had a talk in BTS's show ITS where jungkook himself said that over time taehyung became more reserved and things got awkward between them. It could be because taehyung was having his show so he didn't get much time to spend with his members or could be any other reasons but yeah for what tkkrs called as tk being private it was them actually feeling awkward around each other. Now they seem more than fine to me. They must have caught up on their lost time.

Another thing is according to tkkrs years back someone in a handshake event asked jungkook to chose between jimin and taehyung and he said something like his relationship with taehyung is not for cameras and all. Idk if you know how a handshake event works but you hardly get 3-4 seconds to talk idk how can a person ask such a question nd get answer like that from jungkook lol and there's no proof of this being real. Another is they actually asked jungkook to chose between jm nd TH and he actually chose both by tick marking in front of bothe of their names and there's picture of it too as a proof.

They are known for making up theories out of thin air just like they made a group dinner at atomix as only tk dinner like they writes whole damn essays over it.

Idk i just simply see going to get into that tkkrs spiral just like all the baby armys. Cause the few posts you have rted are clearly not it. I saw you rting one post of sign language that and mind you tkkrs were called out by actual sign language expert language after them claiming tk talking in sign language during my universe. It was all over army twitter... they're known for misleading.

I'm sorry if I'm coming across as rude or some shipper trying to force my ship or anything but belive me idc who you gonna ship in the future when i know none of these ships are real and there's tens of tkkrs so one adding up there won't cost anything to me. But my only concern was you beliveing their theories without backtracking it all.

Anyways, taehyung is quite definitely dating Jennie, and there's video going viral of supposed jk with his gc. Idk I'm just telling you to fact check before beliveing anything be it any ship.

Well, hi there. It seems someone else should do the backtracking now, as JK has straightaway denied dating any girl. And forget about ships being real or not --this is not what this is about. Facts will always be subjected to multifarious interpretations depending on your narrative, and as long as you develop your theories without insulting others’ stories or ramblings it should be fine.

That aside, “my relationship with taehyung is not for cameras” is such a beautiful, iconic statement to make. But the thing is, I believe Taekookers “do” have some grounds regarding the privacy matter. Because, yes, privacy is a huuuge issue in Korea, especially regarding women and children. Jikookers dissed Taehyung because, supposedly, their brother and sister didn’t even want to see him / weren’t on good terms with him? Yes, Jk and Jimin had only brothers, no sisters, and Tae’s statements regarding his siblings heavily hinted at privacy issues.

In the same vein idols’ privacy regarding real relationships should be as fiercely protected. Them being gay in an extremely homophobic country where until now no other idol had came out of the closet –and the one who did was kicked out of his company-- of course would led their company to protect them even more, separating them or cutting them out of filming and overall not pairing them together. For instance, remember the “Flying yoga” episode where they had to be “randomly” paired up for the final poses but instead ended up with the usual ships (Jikook, Taejin).

Just remember the blackmail issue with threats of disclosing a gay relationship in 2015-2016 by an unknown source (supposedly Dispatch) and fans mentioning BTS members, as well as the infamous footage of Taekook being separated while on camera around the same time. I just “think” you could argue Jikook being so much in your face with their loudness “could” prove they can’t be in a real relationship. And Jikookers’ narratives oscillate wildly in that regard: one moment they think they’re laying low because of MS and another they’re loud because they don’t give a f. anymore. Narratives shouldn’t be that inconsistent.

Anyway, I’ll post your ask because at the end of the day I’d rather believe more in Vminkook's amazing friendship than them being involved in a committed relationship with each other. Friendship is so vastly underestimated. I’m glad you quoted Jk choosing both of their friends as I came to realise --while watching Taekook content-- that JK enjoyed a very close bond to Tae too. I even thought their interactions were nearly identical as those of Jikook: the same jealousy / possessiveness, the lustful and longing stares, the holding hands/arms, hovering around each other, sleeping together, dating / private trips, using ILY hand signs on performances / grand gestures, getting real intimate at times, overall lack of boundaries and being comfortable around each other, and so on. Considering that, Jungkook's relationship with Jimin wouldn't be as much distinct as Jikookers would lead you to believe. That's where I'm standing rn.

When will there be a next confirmed big it couple that everyone talks abt? What will the vibes of the couple be like?

A couple like Jennie and Kai I mean, cause idk if you were there on that 2019 New Year’s Day but twitter went crazy!!!!! No one expected them to date and they were so hot together, match made in heaven (vibe and visual wise - not sure about personally because yea we don’t know these idols plus they broke up lol-). Plus it was released on new years by dispatch!!! They were the surprise couple!! Like that was crazy lmao they’re both in the big 3 too like.. gagged everyone fr

💙✌️💁🏻‍♀️

answering publicly bc everyone wants to know 🫠

cards: the magician rx, eight of swords rx

to be completely honest, I don't see that happening any time soon... things have changed way too much since then. the closest we have to kai x jennie is v x jennie, and it hasn't even been getting the same type of hype. it just doesn't have that shock value anymore, you know? it's unlikely that we'll see something similar happen in the near future.

still, let's take a quick look at the next "it couple": king of swords, ten of swords, four of cups, the lovers

they might both be air signs or have heavy air placements. they will share the same aloof/cold beauty vibe, too, and people will even be confused over how these two quiet, standoffish individuals managed to begin a relationship.

Writing Patterns

Rules: Share the opening of your last ten published works or as many as you are able to see if there are any patterns!

I was tagged by @redtoblack and this seems fun! I'm including WIPs though because I think that'd be interesting and might spark some motivation to write lol

tbh looking at these I'm seeing a pattern that I start with the setting before anything else, like even if it's not the physical location, it's establishing where the narrator is at mentally. this is neat! tagging @jtownnn because she's so good at tagging me!

Feel the Earth Move (WIP, Dirk Gently/Forces Unseen Sequel)

It wasn’t that Dirk knew Todd was going to propose, not for certain. There were actually frighteningly few things in life that Dirk knew with total certainty. Gravity was just a theory after all. Time wasn’t linear. Even the universal constant of taxes could be disregarded far more easily than was widely believed; he’d seen as much for himself, and Farah had nearly had a coronary when she’d tried to issue him a W2 and discovered that he didn’t know what his social security number was, if he had one at all. Just about everything was a matter of guesses, some more educated than others. Sometimes though, when the stream of creation saw fit, Dirk didn’t need to guess, his hunches filling in the blanks for him. He learned to trust them, even when he didn’t quite understand how it all worked. So when he developed a lingering hunch that Todd was going to propose, Dirk took it at face value and panicked.

we could call it even (WIP, 'tis the damn season seblaine AU)

It was cold when Sebastian stepped off his plane in Columbus, but he hadn’t lived in California long enough yet to forget what winter felt like. He hadn’t been home since August, had purposely stayed in LA for Thanksgiving weekend, but this wasn’t exactly his first white Christmas. He had a hoodie in his backpack for now, and when he got up to the gate he pulled it on. The one from Dalton Academy lacrosse was one of the few he’d brought to school with him and he was comfortable in it; a Dalton boy even now.

hopeless, breathless, burning slow (Dirk Gently)

Dirk is so rarely still that he often forgets what it feels like. Really, he’s always in motion. He runs so much, too much for someone who doesn’t actually like running and whose footwear is almost never appropriate. Too often he finds himself running away from danger, sometimes for his life. The night he’d run away from Blackwing for good, he hadn’t stopped for miles. But it’s not just that.

don't really wanna cool it down (Dirk Gently)

When Tina had asked him and Todd to check out some “weird shit” that had been happening around her friend Jenny’s cabin near the Kaniksu National Forest, Dirk hadn’t necessarily expected to find anything. He’d met some of Tina’s friends, and they all seemed to be on quite a lot of drugs most of the time, so he and Todd agreed that it was more likely than not some kind of hallucinogen making Jenny hear things. Still, they owed Tina after she’d gotten shot on their behalf, and Idaho was halfway to Montana anyway, so they could work in a visit to Bergsberg afterwards.

only one thing left for us to do (Dirk Gently)

The first thing Adrienne said to Dirk the morning after the fight with Rowen was that he looked like a “well-fucked idiot,” which was so far from what Dirk had ever expected to be called that for a split second he forgot he was fluent in French and wondered if he’d mistranslated.

merrier the more (The Magicians, Eliot/Quentin/Fen)

Quentin isn’t sure if he’d forgotten about the masquerade of if no one had told him in the first place. Either is equally possible, but he strongly suspects the latter. Margo and Eliot and even Fen are in their element, fussing over every small detail before they leave for the party. Quentin’s watching Margo adjust the the cascade of curls that’s tumbling down Fen’s back when Eliot’s voice behind him makes him jump. “Aww,” Eliot says, bending so that he can hook his chin over Quentin’s shoulder. “You like her.”

that deviant ingredient (The Magicians, accidental aphrodisiac)

“Hey Q,” Eliot says lightly, leaning against the kitchen counter and enjoying the way Quentin jumps in surprise. “Whatcha eatin’?” He’s not surprised that Quentin is stealing someone else’s food, not really; they all do it and it’s generally accepted that if you don’t ward it against thieves it’s your own fault if it goes missing. What’s surprising is that Quentin is eating Josh’s food. He must be feeling either particularly brave or particularly hungry because even on a good day eating whatever Josh leaves lying around is a risk. “Nothing,” Quentin says, as if he hadn’t just gotten busted with half a cookie still in his mouth. He moves to try to hide the box, but knows he’s been caught and gives up quickly. “Cookies.”

Feels Like Heaven To Me (Dirk Gently, wing!fic)

“You hate them.” “What?” Todd asked, eyes back to Dirk’s face from where they’d been staring at the literal wings that had manifested between his shoulders. “No, I don’t hate them, I’m just… wow.” He and Dirk had been together for about three months when Dirk had said very seriously, “I need to show you something.” When he’d taken off his shirt Todd hadn’t known what to expect; they’d seen each other naked countless times, but he’d never seen Dirk like this. He’d never seen anyone with wings at all, and quite frankly he wasn’t surprised as he probably should have been. It wasn’t even in the top five of weird things he’d seen that month. His life was kind of insane.

cross my heart (and hope to die) (Dirk Gently)

It started as most things in Dirk’s life did: with a crisis. Dirk hadn’t previously been aware that there was such a thing as an orchid crisis, but as he hid on a boat somewhere between Vancouver and Seattle, he knew it was very real. Over $100,000 in rare orchids had gone missing, and for whatever reason, their client was extremely eager to get them back. While following a lead, he and Todd had uncovered a massive botanical smuggling ring, a fact that Todd was not happy about. “I hate boats,” Todd said, looking a little green. “I haven’t stepped on one since the whale watching incident of 1999.” Dirk didn’t ask what the whale watching incident of 1999 was; judging by the look on Todd’s face it likely involved some sort of sea sickness and quite possibly an actual whale. “We’ll be back in Seattle soon,” Dirk said, ignoring the fact that they’d technically crossed the Canadian border illegally twice. “Farah and the police will meet us there, and we’ll be back on land before you know it. All we have to do is stay hidden for the next half hour, and then we’ll be fine.”

Forces Unseen (Dirk Gently)

It was October in Seattle; mild but gray, clouds covering the view of Mt. Rainier, with just enough rain to remind everyone that in a few weeks they’d be getting ready for winter. Todd was bored and Dirk was antsy and Farah was ready to kill them both. Boredom made Todd grumpy, which was made worse by Dirk’s inability to keep still or stay quiet for more than twenty minutes at a time. Farah just wanted them to submit their damn expense reports, but no one seemed willing to do that for a month that hadn’t had any real case-related expenses. Todd was fully prepared to eat the $15 he’d spent on snacks for a stakeout if it meant he wouldn’t have to do any paperwork, but Farah was insistent. Needless to say, things around the office were a bit tense. Todd hit his limit after five minutes of listening to Dirk slowly peel the foil off a chocolate coin. “Unwrap it or don’t,” he snapped, only partially because he was mad that Dirk had chocolate he hadn’t offered to share. “The chocolate will still be there if you rip the foil.” Dirk had the nerve to look offended. “And risk destroying potential clues?” he asked. “I think not.” “It’s a chocolate coin you got at the dollar store,” Todd intoned. “It’s probably not even real chocolate.” “You’re probably not even real chocolate,” Dirk responded, not looking up from his work. It didn’t make any sense as a retort, but Todd threw a pencil at his head anyway.

I was tagged by @vodkafolie and @heisenhowler for this one (thank you both!! ❤️) - I did one already here but if the people command more content, who am I to deny them?

Three (more) Ships: Okay, I can do this lol. I previously listed the three I’m feral about and I honestly don’t have a ton beyond those that I’ll go out of my way to find content for. However, three more I am also charmed by are:

Adora/Catra (SPOP) - not touching this fandom with a ten foot pole though, YIKES.

FinnPoe (Star Wars) had SO MUCH POTENTIAL and it was completely squandered. I would have really liked to see this one happen, actually. Oscar Isaac I will go to bat for u.

And even though this is the second canon Black Sails relationship I’ve mentioned, quite literally every coupling in that show makes me violently shake the bars of my cage so I would be remiss to not mention the incredibly beautiful and perfect bisexual polycule of James (Flint) McGraw/Thomas Hamilton/Miranda Hamilton. My heart. My agony.

First Ever Ship: Confession: last time I hypothesized it was probably an HP one because I came of age during the height of its popularity, but now that I’ve thought about it again I think it was almost certainly one of the Redwall pairings. 💀 I couldn’t tell you which one but I was NOT normal about those funky little murderous woodland animals.

Last Song: Cry Baby - Janis Joplin

Last Movie: Rewatched Princess Mononoke on a whim the other night - still my favorite Ghibli movie. *chef’s kiss*

Currently Reading: Still reading the Inheritance Trilogy by NK Jemisin. This thing is a BRICK but I love it. (Also wistfully gazing out the window waiting for my favorite Heisenberg fic to come back from war but that’s been a thing for a while lol)

Currently Watching: I have on Jenny Nicholson’s deep dive into the failure of the Evermore theme park for background noise while I work - I’ve already watched it twice but it’s so funny and good, highly recommend.

Currently Consuming: The dregs of my morning coffee and my leftover avocado and feta tacos from last night. Breakfast/lunch of champions.

Currently Craving: skrunkly engineer cock kinda dumb but my mom will be making pierogis for Christmas and I have anticipatory cravings. The carbohydrates, give them to me.

I’ll add the new Picrew vodka put on there too bc this one ended up being very accurate and cute imho.

I will tag whoever wants to do it (and tag me back if you do so I can see!) but I’ll also poke @grisailledreams @hell-on-training-wheels @patchworkgargoyle and @didney-worl-no-uta even though I don’t really need to “get to know” y’all lol.

#tag game #thanks again friendsss ❤️

Okay I’ve been tagged in this a few times now, so #Yolo I’m making a post. Shoutout to @dojablossom @bugheadsfangirl @hbiccjsblog @onlyalittlebookworm and @nightskiye 🖖❤️🎉

Here are 10 of the songs that popped up when I hit shuffle on my favourite playlist. My playlist is called “FanFiction” and the icon has an artwork of Betty and Jughead kissing lol. Here’s a screenshot for proof:

As soon as I can figure out where I got this fanart from I’ll tag the artist - but I don’t think they’re on tumblr because I’m sure I saw this on Instagram. I may be wrong though. Anyway, these were the first ten songs from shuffle:

1. Dancing in the moonlight - Toploader

2. Arcade - Duncan Laurence

3. Youth - Shawn Mendes

4. All of the Stars - Ed Sheeran

5. Count on me - needtobreathe

6. Breaking Me - Topic & A7S

7. Jenny - Studio Killers

8. Us - James Bay

9. Never Stop (wedding version) - SafetySuit

10. Prom Queen - Molly Kate Kestner

Here is a link to the playlist

These are songs I compiled that remind me of my Riverdale fanfics. Some of them relate to fanfics I’ve already written, some just give me character vibes, some hype me up for future fics. I don’t wanna tag anyone specifically but here is an open tag to @ YOU who is reading this and wants to participate :)

Chapter One Word Count: 3,816

Chapter One Betas: T. Thompson and @madashatters18

Chapter One Mini Title Card: Yours Truly

The reflection of the sun's rays dances across Jessica's bedroom walls as she lies awake. She's been up for about an hour now, just staring at her ceiling contemplating how the first day at her new high school was going to go. The tail end of summer is in full swing. Cool mornings, hot afternoons, and cozy nights are her favorite part of the year. Well, at least it had been until her Mom uprooted her entire life and moved the two of them across the country.

The cozy two-story house in San Francisco where she grew up had been the only one she'd ever lived in. Shayly Andrews was her first friend and the two of them grew up together, becoming inseparable. They lived on the same block, went through school together, and as cliché as it was, Jessica fell in love with Shayly's brother Jameson. He'd taken her on her first real date. A romantic picnic at the local park and a movie at the vintage theater downtown. If she closes her eyes, she can still remember the laughs the two of them shared and the sweet kiss he'd given her on the top step of her front porch under the moonlight.

Even though her home life wasn't great, she was always able to escape at Shayly's. Hell, they'd even given her a spare key and her own twin bed and dresser in their guest room. Jessica's Dad, if you could even call him that, was almost never home, and when he was he was always drunk. He'd pick a fight with her Mom and it would end in a screaming match with Jessica protecting her. Finally, her Mom grew a pair, decided their ten-year-long marriage was unsalvageable, and began the gruesome process of divorce. They fought over assets, of course, because fighting is all they knew how to do, and they brought her into the middle of it.

Jessica rolls her eyes at the thought. Parents of the year!

With a heavy sigh, she wraps her puffy comforter tighter around her petite body and turns onto her left side. The big red numbers on her digital alarm clock stare menacingly back reading seven-fifteen. There is no point in going back to sleep now. Her first class starts in forty-five minutes. Deciding to just rip off the metaphorical bandaid, Jessica throws off her covers and climbs out of bed.

After loosely curling her striking red hair and applying some winged liner and berry chapstick, she slips on her favorite sundress and a pair of red flats. The dress is navy blue and has cherries as the design. It accentuates her natural curves, flowing freely at the bottom giving it a light summery feel. A spritz of her favorite perfume and the friendship necklace Shayly bought her complete the look.

Grabbing her bag and white jacket, Jessica trudges down the stairs to grab her car keys off the hook next to the door. Her Mom is sitting at the kitchen table drinking a cup of coffee picking through one of the many unpacked boxes scattered throughout the house.

"Bye Mom! I'll be home later." Jessica tries not to grimace at how exhausted her Mom looks as she offers her a small smile.

"Have a good day, honey. I love you."

She waves, "I love you too!"

The drive is uneventful and it's nice out. The crisp morning air feels cool on Jessica's hand as it hangs out the window. Metallica’s ...And Justice for All album flows through her car's speakers, but it does nothing to calm her nerves as she gets closer and closer to Andover High.

The school comes into view and Jessica sucks in a breath. It's huge! Much larger than her previous school where the graduating class was probably no more than a hundred students. She pulls into an empty parking space and wipes her clammy hands on her dress. "It's just a school. They're just people. You got this," she says to herself before getting out of her white Sunfire.

The sun comes out from behind the clouds, warming her skin as she starts towards the front entrance. Thankfully, Jessica finds the front office without any problems. She opens the door and slowly walks up to the woman behind a big oak desk. She's older, probably in her late fifties. Her blondish gray hair is tied back into a neat bun, and she's got a pair of reading glasses pushed up on top of her head.

"Good morning! What can I do for you, dear? She smiles warmly.

Jessica picks at her nails, a nervous habit, "um...hi. I'm a new student."

She taps her painted fingernails across the keyboard and turns her gaze back. "What's your name, sweetie?"

"Jessica Anderson."

Jessica watches as she brings her glasses down in front of her eyes and clicks her mouse a few times. "Ah ha! There you are! Welcome, Jessica. My name is Mrs. Preston, but most of the kids here just call me Jenny. I've got your schedule here, this second piece of paper has your locker number and combination, and finally here is your parking pass. Just make sure this sticker is placed on the lower left side of your windshield. It looks like your first class is English Literature with Mr. Stan. He's really nice, you'll like him. If you go out the doors you came in and take a right you'll come to a hallway, take that down to the end, and hang a left. His classroom is the third door on the right."

Jessica nods and takes the papers, "thank you, Jenny. I'm sure I'll be seeing more of you."

She grins and waves, "come back anytime, dear! Have a good day!"

Students swarm the halls, scrambling to get to class on time. Jessica pushes through the crowd and takes in her surroundings. The school seems fairly new, with a blue tile floor with little flecks of navy and gold, rows and rows of blue lockers, and cream-colored walls. It's aesthetically pleasing. Finally, she reaches what she thinks is Mr. Stan's room and tentatively walks in.

The desks are mostly filled and it makes Jessica anxious. If there's one thing she hates, it's being somewhere unfamiliar and having no idea where to go. A girl with long wavy brown hair smiles, reassuringly, at her.

"Come sit in front of me, no one sits there anyway."

Jessica lets out a breath and slides behind the desk, "thank you. I really hate being the center of attention. Especially when I'm somewhere I've never been before."

The girl laughs, "oh, same here! I'm Angie DiLorenza, but everyone calls me Ang. My best friend Lily should be here any time, she sits next to me."

Jessica grins, "I'm Jessica Anderson, but you can call me Jessy."

"It's nice to meet you, Jessy! I love that dress!" Before she can thank her for the compliment, Ang looks up and waves. "Lily! Hey, girl! Come here and meet our new friend."

Jessica turns and sees a pretty blonde walking toward them. She takes her seat and sets her bag on the floor. "Hey! I'm Lily Stan."

Jessica smiles warmly and shakes her hand, "I'm Jessica Anderson, but you can call me Jessy. It's very nice to me- wait… did you say, Stan? As in Mr. Stan?"

Lily chuckles, "yeah, he's, unfortunately, my older brother. I know, lame right? Sadly, I don't get extra credit for being related to him either." As if on queue, the whole room gets quiet and all eyes move to the front of the class.

Jessica turns around and sucks in a sharp breath. A man, who she presumes is Mr. Stan walks in front of his desk and leans back on it. He's tall, at least a foot more than her - probably six foot - and very well built. His short brown hair is neatly tousled, and his eyes are the prettiest shade of blue. They're the color of an undisturbed ocean. He's wearing a charcoal gray suit with a white undershirt and matching striped tie that's a perfect contrast to his flawless skin. He clears his throat, his smooth baritone voice fills the room.

"Good morning, class. My name is Mr. Stan and I will be your English Literature teacher for the next ten months or so." He scans the room, "most of you I know, but," his eyes stop on Jessica. "I see a few new faces."

She blushes and looks down at her hands.

"Now, I know the year just started, so I won't load you down with a lot of homework, but I do have two things I want to start today.”

He holds up a book and taps the cover with his fingers. "One of my favorite books to teach about is Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë. I'm sure a lot of you have heard of it, and maybe some of you have even read it before. You will be assigned a chapter a day for the next couple of weeks or so, and once we finish the book I'll assign a two-page paper on your perspective of the story. The second thing," he gestures to a crate full of composition notebooks, "are these journals."

A few students groan and he chuckles.

"We will be doing daily entries about various topics in these notebooks. Now, before you dismiss the idea, let me explain what my expectations are. We will have set topics that I will expect at least a paragraph on every Monday through Thursday. Friday's will be a free write, meaning you can write about whatever you want. Your favorite band, your favorite vacation spot, whatever you want to talk about is fine with me. It needs to be at least a paragraph though. I will read and respond to each and every entry."

He moves closer to Jessica's row and she bites her lip to keep from reacting. He smells amazing. Like sandalwood, cinnamon, and a hint of citrus.

"A couple of other things I want to mention before we get started on our first entry are the following: I will not share any of your writings with anyone unless you mention hurting yourself or another person. Then I would have no choice because it's the law. The last thing I want to make clear is you don't have to hold back your emotions with me. If you're having a shitty day and want to just write fuck over and over again for your free entry, then, by all means, do it. Let's be real here, we all curse. I'm not here to parent you. I'm here to teach you."

He grabs a stack of notebooks, enough for every individual row, and hands them to each student in the front. When he gets to Jessica, his fingers brush against hers making her breath hitch. His eyes flick down to hers and it may have been her imagination, but she swore his pupils were slightly dilated.

What are you thinking, idiot?! He's like thirty-something! Not to mention your freakin' teacher! What would he ever see in you?

Once all the journals are passed out, he begins writing on the board, giving Jessica a view of his backside.

God, seriously?! Does this man have anything about him that isn't perfect?

"Okay, so, for this first entry, I just want you to introduce yourself to me. Tell me your hobbies, if you have siblings, what you do at home, what your aspirations are, etcetera. You have," he glances at his wristwatch, "about thirty minutes to write me a paragraph."

Jessica's face falls. Talking about her home life is something she loathes, and who can blame her when her childhood was one of the worst experiences of her life? Jessica writes her name on the front cover and opens it to the first page. She sighs and taps her pen against her bottom lip. Deciding just to just be honest, she begins writing.

Jessica closes her notebook and rests her chin on the palm of her hand. She blows a stray red curl out of her face and looks up. Mr. Stan is staring at her and when he offers her a soft smile her heart begins to race. She feels her cheeks heat up and smiles back at him.

What are you doing?! You just met his sister! You can't flirt with her brother, Jessy! That's like an unspoken rule! Not to mention, again, he's your friggin' teacher!

The bell rings and silences her inner monologue making her jump. "Please leave your notebooks on your desks and pick up a copy of Wuthering Heights on your way out."

She turns to Ang and Lily as they all stand up. "Where's your next class?" Lily asks.

Jessica pulls out her schedule and scans the paper. "Uhh...History with Mr. Evans."

Ang smiles and hoists her bag higher on her shoulder. "Hey! Me too! We can walk there together."

Lily picks her backpack up off the floor and pouts. "Boo…I have Chemistry with Mrs. Michalson. I've got Math with Mr. Hiddleston after that though. What about you guys?"

Both girls look at their papers. "Hey, same here!" Ang smiles.

"I also have him!" Jessica nods. "Great! I'll see you two later!"

Jessica grabs a copy of Wuthering Heights off Mr. Stan's desk and follows Ang out into the busy hallway. "C'mon, I know a shortcut. These halls get ruthless sometimes."

She follows Angie through a less crowded area and then down another hall before they catch back up with the throng of kids making their way to their next class. "Here we are!" Ang links her arm with Jessica's and leads her to two desks in the middle of the room. "Let's sit here. Oh, and by the way, if you thought Mr. Stan was hot then you aren't ready for Mr. Evans. He's somethin' else."

Jessica winces. "Um… I… Mr. Stan's…uhh…"

Ang laughs and shakes her head. "Don't worry, babe. I'm not gonna tell Lily. She probably wouldn't care anyway. Most girls swoon over her brother and she's gotten used to it."

Just before she can respond Angie motions to the front of the class. "Take a look at that tall drink of water. It's a damn shame we're his students and not old enough to hit on him."

Jessica looks over and immediately stops breathing. Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck! Oh, fuck! This would be her luck, wouldn't it? She swallows hard and looks down at her hands recalling the memory of what happened the day before.

She'd been bored in her room and decided to take a walk down to the local park. It was nice out and it would give her an opportunity to familiarize herself with the neighborhood. The walk was short, and uneventful to be honest, but the park had been buzzing with activity. Joggers ran along the paths, kids played on the playground, and a few other people were walking their dogs.

Jessica had decided to walk along the same path the joggers were on, soaking up the warm sun. It was a very nice day. Birds were singing, a light breeze made the August heat bearable, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. The path curved and she followed it, not paying attention to her surroundings. She had been focused on a family of ducks quacking near the pond.

The next thing she knew, she was on the ground. Something hard had hit the side of her head and an excited dog had followed suit, knocking her over. It began sniffing and licking her face, making her giggle.

"Dodge! Hey buddy, stop! Get off of her!"

A man had come running over and pulled the dog away by his collar. He had a red Frisbee in his other hand. "Are you alright? I'm so sorry. The wind took it and I didn't mean for it to hit you. Also, sorry about him," he helped Jessica up and motioned to his furry companion, "he gets excited and forgets his own strength."

Jessica nodded, words having failed her. He was gorgeous. Tall, with short dirty blonde hair, and bluish-green eyes that shone in the sunlight.

"You sure you're alright?" He grimaced and brushed his thumb over a spot on her forehead, "it's pretty red right here. I have some Neosporin in my truck. At least let me put some on there, ya know, to make it up to you. 'S not every day we run into a pretty young lady."

Jessica blushed and shook her head. "S-Sure umm...thank you…"

He had led her to a pretty maroon truck, a Chevy Silverado, that was parked nearby. "I'm Chris and this little man right here is Dodger." He smiled fondly and gave his head a scratch.

She giggled, "My name's Jessica. I um...just moved here a few weeks ago. My parents divorced and my Mom decided that moving across the country was the most appropriate thing to do, so here I am. She tried to make light of it and told me it was a belated eighteenth birthday present, but it still sucked leaving everything behind." Jessica winced, "sorry...you probably don't care about all of that. I just get nervous around handsome men, and I tend to ramble." She realized what she said and immediately went beet red.

Chris laughed and it made butterflies gather in her stomach. "Yeah, Dodge is pretty handsome, isn't he? He gets all the ladies."

He opened the driver's door and felt for something in the center console, "I'm sorry to hear about your parents, Jessica. I'm sure it's hard to go through something like that." Chris unscrewed the cap and set it on the hood of his truck. "Alright, I'll be gentle, I promise." The pad of his thumb had swiped gently above her eyebrow and it sent a shiver down her body.

"There we go, good as new." His light eyes seemed to sparkle as she looked into them. She had watched them flick down to her lips for a split second. The action would have been undetectable if she hadn't been so caught up in how beautiful they were.

"Th-Thank you, Chris. I um…dinner will be ready soon, and I gotta get ready for school tomorrow. I-It was really nice to meet you and Dodger."

Chris smiled again and it made her knees weak. "It was nice to meet you too, Jessica! Yeah, we better get goin' too. Gotta get some food in this guy before he chews my leg off." He smirked and scratched his chin lovingly. "Maybe we'll see each other around some time, yeah?"

Jessica bit her lip, "oh yeah, definitely! I live just over the hill there so I'll be here a lot."

"Well, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you, and I'll try not to hurt you next time." He winked and heat pooled low in her belly.

"Thanks again, Chris! See you later."

He waved and lifted Dodger into his truck. "Bye, Jessica!"

Jessica buries her head in her hands at the memory. This couldn't be happening. How is she supposed to go a whole school year with Chris as her teacher?

"Hey, Jessy, you okay?"

Shit, she forgot Angie was next to her. "Y-Yeah I uhh… I'm good. I just...this isn't the first time I've met Mr. Evans…"

Ang raises an eyebrow, "what do you mean this isn't the fir-OH MY GOD! Did you two...you know…hook up?!"

She whispers, but it's still too loud for Jessica's liking. "Shh! Ang! He's going to hear us! No, we didn't hook up, but we did meet yesterday in the park. I'll tell you after class, okay?"

Angie eyes her suspiciously, "alright but I want all the details." She looks in Chris’s direction again and smirks. "Looks like teach recognizes you too, babe."

Jessica's stomach drops and hesitantly moves her gaze to the front of the room. Sure enough, Chris is staring at her, his eyes wide. She shrinks in on herself and looks at her hands. Maybe she can talk to Jenny and see about getting her schedule switched.

He clears his throat and composes himself before addressing the class. "Okay, let's get started. My name is Mr. Evans and I'll be teaching you the importance of our nation's history. To ease everyone into things, the first assignment is gonna be something that you guys will hopefully find fun."

Chris holds up a blank hardback book. "These books are empty right now, but they won't be in a couple of weeks. Each of you is going to pick a war that happened, or one that's still happening, and fill this book with facts about it. Decorate it, make it your own, and add some color. Make it fun."

Jessica watches as he writes something on a piece of paper, quickly looking away when he turns to the class again.

"You may talk quietly amongst yourselves while I pass these out. Then I'll give you the rest of the hour to pick a war and plan on how you will fill each page of your book."

Jessica keeps her eyes on the chipped polish that covers her nails while her classmates talk. Angie is discreetly texting someone, eyeing her every couple of seconds. Chris gently places a blank book on her desk and lingers just a moment before moving on. Jessica can't look at him, but she does smell him. God, he smells so good. All woodsy with hints of lavender, patchouli, and vanilla.

"Alright, there are stacks of history books on the table in the back of the room. Each of you are to grab one of those and then think about what war you'd like to learn more about. I'll be at my desk should you have any questions."

Angie leans over and squeezes Jessica's hand, "I'll grab you a book, love. Just try and breathe, okay?"

She nods and runs her fingers over the empty book cover. She's always loved history and has definitely wanted to learn more about Vietnam. Maybe immersing herself in its events will distract her for a while.

"Here ya go, Jessy. We'll talk about everything after class, alright?"

Jessica nods and sets the thick book on the other half of her desk. She decides to count the number of pages in her blank one so she can make a list of events in Vietnam to cover. She opens the book and freezes. There, laying between the cover and the first page is a small slip of paper with four little words on it. Jessica snaps her head up and meets a pair of nervous blue eyes staring back at her. She quickly looks back down at the little piece of paper and gulps.

She is so fucked.

Disclaimer: This post is going to be Anti Moffat for anyone who’s reading and is a fan you’ve been warned.

“A Good Man Goes to War” is the seventh episode and it was my least favorite episode to watch so far.

The Good: Amy being a companion that’s married and pregnant is a rather inspired and interesting storyline, but I just wish it didn’t have to be connected to River. Strax had some funny lines especially when he was talking about meeting in battle, I was sad to see him die. We caught a quick glimpse of the captain from a few episodes ago with his son, that was surprising! Amy and Rory had a beautiful moment together where Rory was talking about how he wanted to be cool regarding being a father, my favorite Amy/Rory moment so far.

The Bad: They kept insinuating with certain lines that the Doctor was the father, and I’m at a loss as to why that angle keeps getting pushed. Amy and Rory are married and the two actors have great chemistry with each other, it feels incredibly weird to keep pushing that narrative when you can have a lovely story about married companions traveling with the Doctor. The Marines that didn’t have names?? Umm it was such a weird moment pointing out they were fat/thin/gay etc. and then one gets his head cut off.

The River: She breaks out of prison whenever she wants and lets her guards know when she’s breaking in, WTF, honestly what sort of prison is this?!? In S5 she was taken away in handcuffs (I think the Weeping Angels episode), the implication being that she was dangerous, and I’m pretty sure the story is that she kills the Doctor so I don’t understand why it’s so easy for her to do that. I’ll wait and see if that’s explained later, but Amy had more people keeping her in her cell in this episode than River ever does. I knew River was Amy’s daughter already, but I don’t know the fallout of the reveal.

The Worst: I like Matt’s portrayal but I’ve hated how the Doctor is written in S6. At the end of S4 he was distressed that his friends were fighting on his behalf even though it was their choice. Martha once said the lovely thing about the Doctor is that he doesn’t go around asking to be thanked, and it rubs me the wrong way that here he went to get people to help him because they have “debts” and he was raising an army. Amy said the Doctor always holds out on them regarding information and asked him not to this time as it involved their daughter, Eleven doesn’t seem to acknowledge her concern or explain anything and then just leaves!! Mind you, this is Amy who just went through a traumatizing situation and is supposed to be his best friend, he just never seems to genuinely care about her. The Captain and Madame Kovarian said at one point that it had been a month and the Doctor hadn’t showed up, I’d sincerely hoped for Amy’s sake that it wasn’t true because...he has a time machine! How could he just leave her there for a month?? When Ten went through the Midnight episode you don’t see him talking to Donna onscreen, but you can obviously tell that he told her what happened. In the episode with Jenny you see Ten and Donna walking together and he reveals he’s been a father before. It just feels like a very different character, Eleven is always running from place to place and never seems to talk to his friends.

The Moffat: I can suspend my disbelief at times but there were a lot of poorly written moments in this episode. It seemed like they really wanted the Doctor dead but didn’t shoot him when he appeared instead leaving him to give a speech then as soon as he was gone a soldier went and shot a monk. Amy asked him if he has children when she said in “The Doctor’s Wife” episode that she knows about the time war. Why would she ask if she knows he’s the last of the Time Lords? They’re called the Headless Monks, why did it seem like it was supposed to be a huge deal that they are...headless?? They gave a speech about it and everything like it was a huge reveal lol. The Doctor’s “army” led everyone away but they actually left behind a bunch of armed Monks? Rather conveniently Eleven brings the cot outside instead of them going into the TARDIS. Why was that done? Oh it’s because there’s going to be a force field leaving them unable to get to safety. If Amy went through such a horrifying situation to me it would seem to make the most sense that she would go inside the TARDIS asap to get some rest and they would all try to get to the Time Vortex immediately. Lorna meets the Doctor as a girl and becomes a soldier because she wanted to see him again--another repeating Moffat theme.

The Unresolved: Madame Kovarian’s motivation seems to be that there is a war against the Doctor, lets see what her next step is. In “The Doctor’s Daughter” Ten gives Jenny a very emotional speech about what it takes to be a Time Lord, I don’t know enough about the lore to understand how River has Time Lord DNA just from being conceived on the TARDIS, and it seemed even Eleven didn’t know. Amy and her Ganger were somehow still connected even though Eleven seemed to imply when his own Ganger was made that that’s when there was a sort of “split”, maybe that will be explained later. Was Vastra the same one from S5 I think Silurians were the species name?

Overall I felt very disappointed with the way this episode was written, and even if some things are explained later this was one of my least favorite episodes of the entire 5.5 seasons I’ve seen so far. Perhaps the worst thing for me was that I was bored watching it, that’s something that’s only very rarely happened.

#doctor who #anti moffat #anti river song #moffat salt #anti eleven #anti eleventh doctor #dw watch #my ramblings #by far the most negative i've been #truly one of the worst episodes i've seen #at this point i don't think eleven deserves amy as a friend #i just want to take her out of this story and put her with a version of the doctor that actually cares about her #a good man goes to war
