bold move honestly to have all the characters yell every argument they knew fans would have at ted for why he should stay, and not have him say they’re wrong, or offer anything to counter it. Because at the end of the day it was his son. It was only his son. His son was the period at the end of the sentence, and always was going to be. Nothing else mattered, he was going home to his boy.

Literally if they were right I'd agree but it's them they know, not me. Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away. I know I have to go.

Sun observations

Sun/Moon: Most caring people ❤️. Tend to be more emotional and clingy (especially in water signs good grief).

Sun/Mercury: This is the "I'm akshually 🤓☝🏾" placement. Even if they are not what you'd consider a nerd they are the type to study about something they love and they love to ramble about it. "Negative" placements may have been told they are annoying for it though :(..

Sun/Venus: People often say this is a beauty placement which is true to some extent but can make someone very superficial and cares a lot about their looks. People with this placement can be pretty social (the sign and house matters of course) and charismatic. The other effects of this placement means talent and creativity. Squares can mean the same but can make one clumsy and a bit insecure. Like the type to not know how pretty they are. Opposition

Sun/Mars: Makes someone competitive, they have a lot of drive and motivation to get stuff done (bonus points if in an Earth sign). Attimes the competitive nature can translate to anger of not careful. Very hard workers and have a ton of confidence. They can be more "in your face) lol.

Sun/Jupiter: If you have this (especially conjunct Sun) I'm guessing you were the popular kid in school or just outgoing. This is a placement also seen in smart kids.

Sun/Saturn: Disciplined and more mature. People with a lot of Saturn May have been more "serious" as a kid and more "dull". (I know this because my middle school sister is Cap dominant and she is so serious it's kinda scary 😭). Other sides of this can make someone more "traditional" (unless they have some wacky Aquarius placements 💀).

Sun/Pluto: People tend to think of this placement as "ohh so scary and mysterious" which YES to a certain degree. I like to interpret this as someone who can be underestimated a lot ESPECIALLY if they look younger. Like they may not be taken seriously or have certain expectations so when they smash those expectations people may fear them and get intimidated by them

Valorant Protocol as Highschool Stereotypes

Characters: Chamber, Gekko, Iso, Jett, Killjoy, Neon, Phoenix, Raze, Sage, Skye, Viper, Yoru Type: Headcanons

HAHA help me valorant brainrot >.< also this is based off of my hs experience soooo yeah

Warnings: none

Chamber

your typical pretty boy

all the girls love him all the boys hate him

well...most of the girls love him

they follow him around to classes or offer him gifts or ask to sit with him at lunch etc.

and he eats up the attention every time

he's lab partners with Viper in Environmental Sciences and he likes trying to flirt with her

she actually hates him btw

Gekko

canonically he skateboards

but honestly? I can see him being on the dance team

he's so high energy, he needs some sort of outlet

he never misses an opportunity to show off his dance moves

homecoming? prom? he is the center of the dance circle

like Raze, he doesn't know how popular he is

he's just happy to have so many good friends that it doesn't even actually occur to him that he's considered "popular"

Iso

he's an ap art kid

like he walks around with a big ass sketchbook every day

always talking about his portfolio

Iso baby ily but please shut the fuck up about oil paints <3

he probably volunteered part of his summer break to come in and paint a mural for the school

I think he'd also take a piano class as like a schedule filler but he actually gets crazy good at it

Jett

pe tryhard

if you end up on the opposite team as her while playing dodge ball good luck 😓

she's always picked as team captain because literally no one else is excited as she is

she's sorta like Hairo from Saiki K 💀

she gets a lil mad when her teammates don't try

Killjoy

she's in robotics club

she's not very popular but that doesn't bother her at all

she heads straight to and from every class and spends her lunch period in the workshop unless Raze drags her off somewhere

not a lot of people actually know who she is, and if they do they just know her as 'Raze's Friend'

i think she'd remind the teacher about the homework and hit you with the "erm actually 🤓" tbh

Neon

she's on track and field/cross country

after every meet you can find her laying on the floor somewhere ready to puke bc she tries so hard to win 😭

she always ends up top 5 tho

she complains about practice but joins the team every year anyways

she carries her bag around all the time and if you open it there's like 10 water bottles in there

#hydratedqueen

Phoenix

theater kid DUHH

he's probably drama club president or sumn

bro will NOT let go of a specific song from a musical he was in his freshman year and it wasn't even his song 💀

he's been in every show every year and somehow he manages to land every role he wants

he's insanely good at the game 'bang' (mostly because he's louder than everyone else...)

he probably plans/hosts the cast parties too

Raze

she doesn't care much about her grades

she does the bare minimum and gets straight Cs

she's just here to have fun

everyone likes her because of her approachable personality

she doesn't think she's popular but she is

Sage

she's in the medical assistant class

she takes it very seriously, as she plans on going to medical school

even before taking the class she carries a first aid kit and other essentials everywhere she goes

you need a bandaid? ibuprofen? a pad or tampon? she has it all

she's also ASB president

school events literally would not be able to run without her

lets just say her college applications/resume will look REALLY good...

Skye

she also took medical assistant but was less crazy about it than Sage

she just follows her friend's lead

she thinks the skills are useful but she doesn't see herself making it her career

but also I think she would play volleyball

she's a well rounded player but specializes most in defense

still, don't underestimate her bc this girl can SPIKE

Viper

she took every ap science class offered without taking the general ones first

she complains about getting any grade below an A...

"What are you talking about? That test was easy"

sorry not everyone is as smart as you Sabine 😑

she spends all her free time at chem tutoring (even though she doesn't need it)

Yoru

he thinks he looks cool and mysterious when he walks down the halls but he doesn't

everyone just thinks his mad all the time and stay out of his way 😭

randos try to pick fights with him bc he "looked at them wrong" (Yoru wins every time)

he's not exactly a 'quiet kid' but he does lay low when it comes to the social part of school

despite his 'bad boy' look, he has pretty good grades

he's also probably one of those guys that a handful of girls have a crush on but he has no idea

heeseung – bad boys

— the bad boys main masterlist

pairing: lee heeseung x fem!reader

summary: being an orphan was never fun, you had to grow up quicker than most kids and even get a job support yourself. that's how you lived since you were 15. you most definitely did not expect to become a flag girl but here you were and it was all because of money. oh and great to know, the person you hated the most was here too. damn you, lee heeseung.

no.of words: 6.8K words

warnings: sexual references but no smut, cute dog mentioned a bunch of times though, jake being a horn dog as per usual (resident playboy) mention of underage drinking because riki bad boy. foul languages(?)

taglist: @nyfwyeonjun @ncityy04 @cutiejseong @minkyeos @madebyreyy (@onyourecha) @yuakagi @hoonstrology @luvrjn @kawaiisharkcopjudge @missmadwoman @aerinaga @jiwlys @wtfhyuck @astrosmistisa @woniesbakery @purplepuppychild

NOTE: i remember writing this, i wanted to make (name) a girlboss who stuck up for everything heeseung said. yet here i am with 'jam out' heeseung and that y/n was something.

we are almost coming to an end of the stories of each bad boy. they surely had such interesting stories following each of them. our 2nd last boy, heeseung, surely was no different. shall we start listening to his story?

“if i could kill that old man, i would’ve done that a long time ago.” heeseung groans. he places his helmet down on the bench before ruffling his jet black drenched hair. all of it being sweat since it was a hot day. sunghoon snickers.

“that old man is a slip away from death. you don’t have to worry about that. let him fall in the shower and he is done for.” sunghoon pats heeseung’s back.

“where are the others?” heeseung grumbles.

“out and about. i think ni-ki and sunoo are grounded from the last party they went to.”

“they drank?”

“yeah but are we really surprised they did so?”

“no. they need to be sober, we have an upcoming match against SM High. heard their star player, park jisung, had been preparing really hard to beat HYBE High.” sunghoon scoffs before smirking.

“we have 7 star players in our team, SM High only has one. we could beat them easily.”

“now, don’t get too cocky. do you remember what happened when you got too cocky.” heeseung folds his arms. sunghoon grumbles.

“yeah yeah, i know hyung. to be fair, you are a great racer. i just thought i’d win but i guess i underestimated your skills.”

“excuses.” heeseung says. sunghoon huffs.

jay enters the parking lot with his bike, he stops in front of heeseung and sunghoon. he takes off his helmet and threw back his head to fix his hair. sunghoon snorts.

“stop trying to look hot.”

“oh but i’m already hot.” jay smirks. sunghoon rolls his eyes.

“yeah yeah jongseong, we get it. you are the hot shit but just to remind you, i’m equally as hot as you. maybe even more.” sunghoon smirks. jay rolls his eyes, annoyed but he knows sunghoon wasn’t wrong.

“where are the others?” jay asks.

“jungwon is stuck doing class president shit, jake is busy fucking around, sunoo and ni-ki are grounded.” sunghoon explains. heeseung sighs before pinching the bridge of his nose.

“that old man is seriously going to yell at us. competitions are near.”

“I couldn’t give two flying fucks for that old man. he is just using us anyways because of his sugar baby.”

“a sugar daddy that doesn’t have money and exploits other people for their money. he got a whole fanfiction ready to be written for him.” sunghoon says. jay snickers.

“could we not just rebel against him again?”

“because he mentioned that if we helped him, he’d try to find heeseung’s sister.” jay says.

“do we even know if your sister is alive. what if your ‘dad’ killed her.” sunghoon says.

“having a daughter in the family can bring a lot of money. you can sell her off into the black market. didn’t you know that?” jay says.

“we aren’t the mafia. even if so, why wouldn’t heeseung’s sister want to be married off to one? they could be hot for all we know.” sunghoon says.

“now let’s not romanticise the mafia but yeah we practically could be them. we kill people too.” jay says.

“alright you two, let’s not talk about this. as for my sister, i know she’s out there. my ‘dad’ will probably put her into good use one way or another.”

now what happened to our heroine of the story. where were you?

ah right, you were under a pile of homework. as per usual. a fluffball decides to visit you as you were busy working on a math problem.

“leo, i’m busy right now.” the golden retriever puppy climbs onto your lap. how did you get leo? well this puppy was actually found near a horrible scene. someone had unfortunately done some horrible things to its mother and so you decided to nurse the puppy back to health and adopt it. you had buried the mother in a safe location and built a small memorial, she was considered the community dog to many. as of currently, leo is all healthy and he was certainly a playful puppy.

he bites on your sleeve and tries to tug on you to get you to play. you giggled.

“okay, okay little one. you’re lucky that this is extra credit. i’ll play with you.” you grabbed the tennis ball and grabbed leo’s leash. you were living alone, your parents unfortunately weren’t around and you never met them. you grew up in an orphanage. At the age of 15, you decided to live on your own and they allowed you to do so. ‘They’ being the staff that took care of you at the orphanage. you got a job, saved up money and now you were living in a pretty shady apartment but at least it was kinda cozy.

you made it over to the park nearby.

“wanna play?” you asked the puppy, he barks in excitement. “alright, fetch!” you threw the tennis ball. leo chases after the ball and brings it back to you after he finds it.

“you’re a really smart puppy, aren’t you?” you pet the puppy’s head. its tail wags.

“you.” you heard someone say. you looked up and instantly you saw heeseung. the boy who annoyed you to death in school. you rolled your eyes.

“what do you want?” you say. heeseung scoffs.

“you were disturbing me and my peace.”

“listen, i was playing with my dog. they bark, what the fuck do you want me to do?” your puppy tries to climb your leg while whimpering, sensing you were upset.

leo was your comfort, he could sense whenever you were having a breakdown, panic attack or you were just upset. Certainly, he could tell you weren’t too happy right now. you picked the puppy up.

“leo, calm down.” you gave the puppy a small kiss. “i’m okay, thank you.”

heeseung rolls his eyes, “just leave.”

“I was about to.” you throw daggers at heeseung again before leaving. Once you left, heeseung lets out a sigh of relief. why did you look so cute while holding a puppy? the way you gave it kiss, if only it was him that you gave a kiss to- hey wait, you were his enemy! why would he imagine you kissing him?

“she’s a demon in disguise lee heeseung, you do not like her that way!” heeseung lightly slaps his cheeks.

you were stomping your feet as you walked home.

“the nerve of that asshole, i can’t believe him!” you turned to talk to leo. “leo, he’s an asshole right?” the puppy doesn’t say anything.

“oh don’t tell me you think i like him, never in a fucking million years am i falling for that asshole.” you entered the apartment building. the dim lights flickering about to burst any second now. yup, home sweet home. you placed leo down onto the chipped wooden floor, he ran off to your study room which had his toys.

you hummed. you needed to study. there wasn’t much for you to do anyways, this was how your life was. work, study, eat and sleep. it was a constant thing that you had been doing ever since you were 15.

the next day, you knocked on your neighbour’s door. A lovely sweet elderly couple.

“oh (name), have you come here to drop leo?”

“yes grandma.”

“leave it to me. take care of yourself in school.” she says. you thanked her and handed her leo.

school was pretty much the same, of course you knew heeseung was going to pull some snarky remark about you. Tease you, annoy you to death. that was the usual. you were placing your book into your locker, as you shut the locker door, you noticed how heeseung had a smug look plastered on his face. he leaned against the locker beside you whilst folding his arm.

“what do you want?” you asked as you folded your arms.

“just wanted to see what you were up to.” you rolled your eyes at his words.

“what? miss me or something?” heeseung scoffs.

“why would i miss someone like you? you have no special place in my heart.”

“well...if i don’t have any special place in your heart, why do you still bother to annoy me? you could just ignore me and pretend i’m not here you know.”

this catches heeseung off-guard. you smirked before patting his shoulder.

“one could think you have a crush on me, is that true lee?” heeseung glares at you.

“in your dreams, (first name).”

“i would never dream of you, lee.” which was the last thing you said before you walked away from heeseung. not forgetting to knock into him.

“you two look very loving.” jay says. heeseung turns to face jay. the other boys were beside him, seems like they probably saw what happened between you and heeseung. heeseung rolls his eyes.

“i don’t like her like that. besides, what kind of sworn enemies fall for each other?”

“the enemies to lovers kind.” sunoo says.

“enough with you and your fanfiction shit. we have a competition soon. the old man will kill us if we don’t gather and practice. he already scolded me, jay and sunghoon for your irresponsibility.” heeseung says pointing to sunoo, ni-ki and jake.

“sounds like a you problem.” jake says.

“do you want me to tell every girl you’ve slept with that you have a sexual disease?” heeseung threatens. jake gasps.

“okay, i’m sorry! please don’t tell them that. they are still my playtoys and you know i have to get my dick wet every once in a while.”

“tmi dude.” sunghoon says.

“maybe you could abandon those girls and go for your dear enemy jake.” jay says. jake glares at the boy.

“if you think i’m ever going to have sex with her or ever get married to her. you are very wrong.”

“didn’t you lowkey place a bandaid onto her desk once because you saw her knees bleeding?” ni-ki says.

“even if i hate her. i’m not an indecent human being, i still have a heart.”

“yeah, that heart being your dick.” jungwon says. jake holds onto his heart dramatically.

“nah, his brain is his dick. he only thinks with his dick.” sunghoon says. jake gasps.

“are you guys even my friends?? what the fuck.” jake sulks.

“enough. get to class and we will meet up after school at the carpark. if you don’t come, you know what will happen.” heeseung says. heeseung leaves the other 6 boys.

“if you don’t come, yOu knOW whAt happENs.” sunoo mocks heeseung’s voice. “what’s up with him this morning? it’s like he got dumped by (name).”

“maybe he did.” jungwon says.

“I won’t be surprised. he knows the way around flirting and doing illegal shit but when it comes to the one girl he obviously has feelings for, he is shit at it.” jake says.

“you’re all bark but no bite, jake.” jay says.

“what the fuck is that supposed to mean.” jake folds his arms.

“it means you do the exact same thing.” sunghoon flicks jake‘s forehead. the boy winces in pain.

“this is friend abuse I’ll have you know.” jake huffs.

“nah this is friend abuse.” ni-ki shoves sunoo.

“YAHHHH. YOU ASSHOLE.” sunoo shoves ni-ki back. both ni-ki and sunoo were now just bickering back and forth. jungwon sighs.

“and this is why heeseung hyung never leaves us alone.”

“you’re the leader.”

“yeah but you dipshits don’t listen to me.”

“we are older than you, we make our own rules.” jake says.

“it doesn’t work that way.” jungwon deadpans.

“uhh yeah it does? Ever heard of korean age system buddy?” jake states the obvious.

“you’re australian, you white people do not follow the age system.” jungwon folds his arm.

“i don’t even have a single white blood in me, i’m full korean but was born in brisbane.” jake explains.

“I feel like one of your parents are lying, there is no way you are not white. considering, how you act, one could think you are a chad or something.” sunghoon says.

“okay shut the fuck up everyone and get to class.” jay says.

“how about no?” ni-ki says.

“do you want your parents to ground you again and then you won’t be able to join us for the competition and our missions.” jay says. ni-ki pouts.

“fine.”

the 6 boys made their way to their classes, a little late but the teachers could care less about them anyways.

“(name) could you kindly explain to us what is wrong with this equation?” the teacher asks. you sighed. this teacher loved to pick on you, maybe because you were the only one listening in.

you went straight in front of class but not before tripping over something or someone. you looked up. it was one of heeseung’s biggest admirers. since heeseung always ignored her and only paid attention to you, you had been facing the consequences.

“whoops sorry, didn’t see you.” she says, adding a small little smirk at the end. you simply rolled your eyes and dusted your skirt.

you got to the front of the class and started fixing the question on the board. the teacher claps his hand.

“great job (name).”

you bowed and went back to your seat. he was such an annoying ass teacher.

you huffed and settled back at your seat.

could this day get any more worse?

And well it did.

“heeseung, give me back my fucking book.” you jumped to grab the book.

currently, you were in the library. why? because you were studying. however, heeseung being the complete asshole he is…he shows up to terrorise you so now you’ve been trying for the past 1 minute to grab your book for that 6ft giant.

“give me back my book, asshole.” you groaned.

“how about no.” heeseung smirks. you rolled your eyes and then an idea pops in your head.

you tugged on the boy’s tie, he jerks forward. your faces inches away from each other. heeseung’s breath hitches. your eyes land into the boy’s pinkish lips and then you look straight into his doe eyes. It was clear he was flustered by the distance. you leaned forward and you noticed how heeseung’s eyes flutter shut. you smirked.

Before your lips even met, you quickly snatched the book and walked away from him. his eyes flew open and his jaw drops. you turned to him and waved him off, sending him a small wink before you turned the corner. heeseung was baffled, he scoffs before a smile grows on his face.

idiot. was what he thought as the stupid smile on his face doesn’t falter.

when school ends, you ran back home to pick up your puppy. you thanked the lady for taking care of your dog.

“here, i’m sure you haven’t had dinner. I made a little too much and my husband is coming home a little late. enjoy this before you study alright?” the elderly lady says.

“thank you, grandma.” you bowed at her before entering your home. you didn’t have any form of entertainment in your home since you weren’t well off so leo was the only one who kept you company.

you took out your homework and started doing it. Leo nudges the utensils to get you to eat. You smiled and took a bite of the food as you worked on your homework. Leo’s tail wags watching you complete your homework. It felt like leo was a human trapped in a dog’s body, he knew when you don’t want to play, when you need to eat and when you overstress yourself. You were thankful to at least have someone by your side and taking care of you. Of course, the elderly couple that lived next door took care of you extremely well too. they treat you like you were their own granddaughter. they don’t earn much but they still gave you a small sum of money to at least buy food.

Things like this made you feel loved. however, with someone like heeseung existing..you can’t help but hate the world a little. the world was certainly a messed up place. you hear leo whimpering.

“Hmm? oh did i forgot to eat again pup?” you took a bite of the food. He barks, tail wagging to confirm he indeed was trying to get you to eat. “Thank you, pup.” you gave him a small kiss.

“I’m done with homework, wanna play?” you picked up a ball. the puppy barks in excitement. you hear a knock at your door so you went to check on who it was. Once you opened the door, you noticed it was sunoo. you tilt your head.

“what do you want?”

“umm noona, we kinda need help.”

“help?”

“well you know how you have been working at a cafe for a while now and you told me during work hours that you hated the job and it doesn’t pay enough?”

“yeah?”

“wanna work to be those ring girls/flag girls?” sunoo says. you tilt your head.

“sun, i am not going to show skin and wear sexy shit.”

“they pay $2000+ per match and they give you costumes to wear for every match. We usually have about 3 matches every month or so. sometimes even more. Small or large scale.”

That is a lot of money…for a month and surely you’d finally be able to afford an actual phone and pay back to the elderly couple next door.

“okay, i might consider but why did the previous flag girl quit?”

“our boss is kinda particular on girls and he thinks the flag girls have no right to have feelings for any of us.”

“That’s it? The flag girl was fired because she had feelings for one of you?”

“yeah, she liked heeseung hyung so umm our boss found out and fired her.”

“Mmm and why did you come to me?”

“Because you’ve expressed you hate heeseung hyung so much and you don’t have feelings for any of us so you were the best option i could suggest to the boss. please noona, can you do it?” you sighed.

“okay, i’ll do it.” sunoo hugs you.

“Thank you!!” he breaks the hug, “oh! I’ll send you the address, we have training tonight actually but boss says you can come tomorrow.”

“okay.”

“thanks again noona! you’re a lifesaver!” sunoo leaves your apartment. you shut the door and turned to leo.

“what have i just gotten myself into.”

the next night, you had asked the elderly lady to take care of your dog as you would be taking extra shifts for the night. she nods and asks you to take care of yourself as it is late out. You thanked her and went on your merry way.

“Is this even the right place?” you looked up, a pretty knocked up, old and rusty sign labelled ‘sugar shack’.

“I don’t even want to know what kind of sugar they mean.” you shivered. you entered the place and walked along the hallway. a bright light at the end of the hallway which led to the outdoor racing track. It was huge.

your jaw drops.

“noona!” sunoo calls out for you. you went over to where the younger boy was.

and of course, the other boys were there too. they simply watch you walk over to where they stood.

“hi sun.” you smiled.

“she’s the new flag girl?” jay says.

“Yup!” the other boys eyed you down. especially heeseung.

“she’s not exactly the sexy type you know.” sunghoon says. you scoffed.

“sorry for not following the standard you call sexy, park sunghoon. i do what i want to do. Besides, sunoo was the one who approached me. Not you.”

“damn, that’s kinda hot though.” jake says before wrapping an arm around your waist. “do you perhaps want to go on a date with me?” you pushed jake’s arms away from you.

“Thanks for the offer but i don’t date guys like any of you.” you eyed jake up and down. “Especially you.” jake blushes.

“Don’t tell me you popped a damn boner right now, jake.” jay says.

“look, she just eyed me down with that gaze. It’s hot, how am i not supposed to pop a boner?” jake reasons. jay groans.

“hyung, that’s gross.” jungwon says in disgust.

“noona, how about i show you to the changing room. the stylist has already picked out the outfit for you.” sunoo says trying to stray from jake’s convo. you hummed and followed sunoo.

“hyung, please explain to jake how he should stop popping a boner everytime he finds a girl hot?” jay says. heeseung keeps quiet, ni-ki waves his hand in front of the older male.

“Hmm?” heeseung says. the others stare at him.

“are you okay, hyung?”

“yeah, i am.”

“If it’s because you are about to work with your enemy…think of it on the bright side. Umm, you can annoy her more?” sunghoon says. heeseung rolls his eyes.

“just get to your places. we have to practice.” heeseung says before he walks over to his car.

“sheesh, cranky much.” jungwon says.

you left the changing room after changing into the outfit. It was really skimpy, too much skin showing and you felt uncomfortable but you had to think about the money you would be getting and so you went out.

the stares of other staff members were really overwhelming and not in a good way. this wasn’t the stare you’d particularly want, this is the stare of hunger and lust. you noticed how there weren’t many girls as their staff members. There were more males than you’d expect. maybe this is why sunoo wanted you to be their flag girl, there were rarely any girl staff here.

you kept pulling down the short skirt as it barely covered your butt.

“sun, what do i do next?” you asked the younger boy. they were discussing their routes for the race when you called. their eyes laid on you. you looked innocent and certainly the boys were flustered. never have they thought you would look hot wearing such a skimpy outfit.

“well?” you asked again. the boys pushed sunoo forward and he grumbles. A smile grazes his lips as he hands you a flag.

“so you will be counting down before the race starts with this.” he shows the flag, “wave the flag at one and just stand there. The cars will zoom past you and you are done for the day. You can stay and watch us if you’d like. maybe one of the boys could send you home since it’s late.”

you nod.

“jake stop staring at her legs.” jay smacks the back of the boy’s head. jake groans in pain.

“like i said, she’s hot! what am i supposed to do!” heeseung glares at jake and he shuts his mouth.

“oh, lover boy is mad you’re staring at his future girl.” sunghoon says. heeseung rolls his eyes.

“jungwon, it’s your turn for today. you know who you’re up against.” heeseung says. jungwon smirks.

“of course.”

The younger male walks over to his prized possession, his bike. this race included both bike and race cars. it depends really on the profession each competitor is good at. There would be no interchangeable matches, if you owned a bike, you raced with other bikers. Heeseung was the only one who owned a race car, the others owned a bike but that didn’t mean they weren’t great at racing with cars. they were trained to do both.

you got into positions, in between both bikes. the rival team member eyeing you up and down. Heeseung balls up his hands into a fist, jay holding him back from marching forward to teach the guy a lesson.

“None of you are to cross this line prematurely, if you do, that is a foul and you will be marked down for it.” the other guy scoffs.

“we get it sweetcheeks, a game like this is always about cheating and tactics.” he smirks, “and you happen to not have a boyfriend, right? someone as beautiful as you would certainly be a match for me.” he flirts.

you laughed. like straight up, laughed at his face. you smirked.

“you’re right, i’m beautiful but unfortunately, no guy could handle the best head they received their whole life hence i broke up with them.” you came close to the guy and grabbed him by his belt. “would you be able to handle that heartbreak? hmm?”

you shoved him away, “no? too bad. would’ve loved if i was able to give you amazing head. maybe you could even help me out.” you smirked and went to wave the flag. jungwon smirks and gets a headstart. the guy panics and quickly gets on his bike, he attempts to catch up with jungwon.

“noona, you are definitely fit for this job.” ni-ki gives you a thumbs up. you smiled. heeseung grabs his things and storms out of the place. The others were calling for him.

“what’s up with him?” you asked.

“just…angsty emo teen moment?” jay says.

“like you weren’t an angsty emo teen when you killed those guys at the age of 16. i mean, you killed what? 5 guys per week? or was it month? oh, let’s not forget-” sunghoon shuts jake’s mouth from running further. you sighed.

“sorry you had to hear that.” sunoo says.

“It’s fine, i live on the ghetto side. there are at least 2 murders a week so i’m not surprised.” you say.

“you don’t live with your parents?” sunghoon asks.

“I was an orphan since i was a baby. No big deal, been living alone since 15.”

“oh. your life is fine now right?”

“Yeah i am-” heeseung angrily enters and grabs your wrist. “hey! be gentle!” you yelled out to heeseung.

“If the old man asks where i am, just tell him i’m out drinking.” heeseung tells the others. They nod, unable to say anything.

heeseung brings you over to his car and throws his hoodie at you. you gasp and threw his hoodie back at him. he turns to look at you.

“Put it on.”

“no! I am not wearing your hoodie!” heeseung rolls his eyes. he grabs his jacket from the back seat and slings it over you. he tugs on the zip to his jacket to cover you up. You huffed. He starts the car up and drives off.

“Type in the address to your house.” he points to the GPS.

“if you haven’t forgotten, my hands haven't been able to move since you zipped up the jacket.” heeseung sighs.

“Tell me the address then i’ll type it in.”

“what if you stalk me?”

“wasn’t planning to, after all you aren’t my type.” you scoffed before telling him your address.

the drive to your house was somewhat quiet, the only sounds were heeseung humming to the songs playing on the radio and the engine. about 10 minutes later, you arrived at the driveway of the apartment. He was waiting for you to get out so he turns to you expecting you to do so but you don’t.

“What?” you asked.

“Get out. We are here.” you rolled your eyes and fumbled out of the jacket heeseung gave you. you threw the jacket at heeseung and left the car.

“asshole, not even gentleman-like. where the fuck are his manners.” you started to walk away when you felt heeseung grabbing your wrists. he spins you around and drapes the jacket over you.

“it’s cold out and you are wearing something revealing.” he pats your head and quickly enters his car, driving off. you stood there frozen. you quickly got back your senses and went into the apartment building.

the next week consisted of school and being the flag girl. however, as the elderly couple next was sick, you decided to bring your dog over to the place.

“hey, there is our star flag girl!” jake says. you playfully rolled your eyes. jake notices the dog pacing around you. he gasps, “PUPPY!!!” he excitedly kneels down to the puppy and starts trying to get its attention. you laughed.

“I brought leo over since the elderly couple next door are unfortunately sick and can’t take care of him.” jake grabs the puppy and holds him close.

“I finally get to meet him!! He is so precious!!!” jake makes kissy faces at the puppy. leo barks and wags his tail.

“So is the boyfriend that gives you great head?” sunghoon jokes. jay snorts. You lightly hit sunghoon’s arm.

“very funny.”

“Oh come on, it is.”

“This is the only guy that has stuck with me practically my whole life.”

“what are we then? we’ve treated you a bunch, both food and…” sunghoon stares at jake. “pleasure?”

“sunghoon! I already told you i didn’t hook up with jake! It was a curling iron incident!”

“yeah save it. we all know, you and jake have been hooking up!”

“you really think i’d be hooking up with jake a week after actually talking to you guys?”

“it’s jake, he makes anything impossible, possible.”

“Is that his life motto or something?” you ask. jay and sunghoon laughed.

“noona, if you must know. it’s just the beer talking. those idiots had some drinks before.” jungwon explains.

“ah, makes sense whatever they are spewing is nonsense.” you grabbed your bag and tossed it into the dressing room locker.

In this week of knowing them, you grew a little comfortable with them and so they started hanging out in your dressing room. Don’t worry, you changed in the bathroom so they didn’t see anything.

“we are sober!” sunghoon shouts. you waved them off before entering the bathroom and locking it.

you pulled off your shirt when suddenly, a hand grazes your waist. you were about to scream when a hand flies to cover your mouth, preventing you from screaming.

“mind to possibly check the bathroom before you use it?” the voice whispers. your eyes widened. you forcefully pulled the hands off your mouth.

“lee heeseung??” he leans on the bathroom tiles, eyeing you up and down. you looked down at yourself before covering your body up.

“the clothes the stylist picks out doesn’t cover much, it’s not like i haven’t seen you like this before.” you scoffed.

“turn around.” you told him.

“you barged in here while i was smoking.” he folds his arms.

“Well i was going to change so you should leave!”

“Alright.” he eyes you up and down again. “I suggest wearing some tight bodycon outfits. Helps with accentuating your body shape.” he winks before leaving the bathroom. you could hear gasps from outside. you knew the others were assuming something inappropriate.

3am, was when you were done. well when the race was done, jake offered to drive you home since it was already late.

“you just want to play with leo a little longer.” you eyed jake.

“Is it wrong for me to love your dog? He is adorable and layla would love a new friend!”

“dude? We have gaeul and bisco.” sunghoon says. jungwon sighs.

“can we stop fighting about dogs? jake hyung, go drive (name) noona home. she’s had a long day and she’s tired.”

“yes leader-nim.” jake bowed. he holds out his hand ready for you to take it but heeseung slaps his hand on jake’s.

“sorry, change of plans. I’ll be driving (name) home now.” heeseung says.

“hyung, you already madeout with her in the bathroom just now! let me be a gentleman and drive her home!” jake says.

“we didn’t makeout in the bathroom! how many times have i explained to you guys.” you groaned.

“really? cause if i’m not wrong, you were begging for more. you even pulled your shirt off. doesn’t that mean you wanted more?” heeseung says. your jaw drops.

“uhhh.” sunoo awkwardly says.

“that’s umm.” ni-ki says. you took a deep breath.

“lee fucking heesung!” you grabbed his hands and dragged him out. he winks at the boys. Your puppy, leo, follows both you and heeseung out.

you folded your arms as soon as you made it outside of his car.

“Well?”

“what do you want me to say, my dear enemy?” heeseung smirks.

“can you stop with the sexual jokes?”

“you know i’m just kidding (name). Unless…” he leans forward, your breath hitching. “you want it to be real.” he smirks. you rolled your eyes and pushed him away slightly.

“why would i want it to be real? I don’t have feelings for you.”

“really?”

“heeseung, if you think i’d ever forgive you for all the shit you pulled for these 4 years. I’m not going to. you have hurt me multiple times.” you watched his eyes soften, guilt and regret taking over. “just send me home. we have school tomorrow and i have a test, i can’t be late.”

“Yeah, umm.” he unlocks his car and gets in it before realising something. he runs to your side of the door and opens it for you. you tilt your head. “Get in.” you just got in and leo hops up on your lap.

The drive home was silent as per usual.

2 months passed by and well it certainly was different. heeseung wasn’t making snarky remarks at you. Well he still did but it was more harmless. he got on your nerves less which was surprising. something that was weird to you was how protective he was over you.

Every single time any of the boys offered to drive you home, he would pitch in and say he was driving you home. At this point, the boys didn’t even bother asking, knowing heeseung would be the one assigned to drive you home. oh one more thing, the amount of times this boy always flirts with you is actually baffling.

Today was no different. you and the boys were hanging out in the dressing room. You grabbed your outfit and went to change in the bathroom. you noticed heeseung blowing out a puff of smoke. just like 2 months ago…

“why do you always smoke in the bathroom?” you questioned the boy. he huffs another smoke cloud.

“because i am near the guys.” he looks over at you, “and i’m near you.”

And there he goes again. another flirt thrown at you by none other than lee heeseung. you playfully rolled your eyes.

“get out, i need to change.” you stood there with your outfit in your hands.

“we’ve established this 2 months ago, the clothes the stylist gives you practically shows almost everything. It’s not like i haven’t seen everything.”

“you haven’t seen everything. I’m not fully naked.” you deadpan. the male walks closer to you, throwing his cigarette bud on the ground.

“and what if i want to?” he says as he extremely dangerously close to your face. Your breath hitches. He smirks and boldly pecks your lips. your eyes widened, you smacked his arm.

“dude! you just kissed me.”

“i do realise that (name).”

“You can’t just kiss me without consent!”

“you would’ve let it happen either way, am i right?” he raises his brow.

“n-no? why would i let my enemy kiss me.”

“Both you and i know, we have gone past the term enemies. we hang out in the same room without arguing horribly all the time.” you moved back and your back hits the cold tile bathroom walls. he places a hand on one side of you,

“what do you want from me?” you asked him.

it was silent as he thought of what he wanted.

“tell me you like me.”

“huh?” heeseung sighs.

“if you don’t like me like that, i’ll leave you alone and you can forget any of this happened.”

“what do you mean?”

“please.” he voices out. it was clear from his voice that he was about to cry. It was trembling.

A clear knock interrupts what you were about to say.

“noona, is everything okay in there?” sunoo calls out. you hear a gasp. “is heeseung hyung in there again! oh my god, ewww you two better not be doing something disgusting in there!”

you looked up at heeseung and he looks down at you.

“lee heeseung. I-” heeseung pushes himself away from you.

“this isn’t right. i’m forcing you. i’ve messed everything up again.” he says. when he looks back into your eyes, you could see the clear gloss covering his doe eyes. “I should leave.”

you grabbed his wrist.

“heeseung wait.” he stops. “I know you have a lot on your mind right now, you found your sister. she has to stay with you and now problems with the gang. you might have to move away…though i don’t want you to.”

“say that again.” heeseung says. you stood in front of him and held both of his hands.

“I don’t want you to leave.”

“(name), we shouldn’t. I’ve hurt you enough.”

“And that’s the thing. you’ve teased me a bunch of times over the years. I hated you for it but if you leave. who is going to annoy the shit out of me everyday?”

“you can live your normal life without the insults.”

“but what if i liked the attention you gave me.” he looks up at you. “heeseung, i like you.”

The boy keeps silent. he was in shock. why would you still like him after all the horrible stuff he did and say to you? what kind of person would date their bully?

“but why would you-”

“are you not happy that i share the same feelings as you?” you asked him.

“of course i am but why would you like me after i did everything to you. you should hate me not do the opposite.”

“guess i’m fucked up then.” you say.

“(name). are you really sure about this?” heeseung says.

“are you doubting my feelings for you, lee heeseung?”

“no no, it’s just. I really don’t get why.”

“maybe i just like bad boys.” you shrugged. “Besides, you did some sort of make up by not annoying me for the past 2 months. I actually felt comfortable. love and feelings work in different ways. Maybe i just needed to get this awakening to make me realise i like you instead of hating you.”

“(name).”

“just kiss me, idiot. do you not want to kiss your girlfriend?” he blushes, “oh? I made you blush!”

“s-shut up.”

“Oh my god, the almighty lee heeseung blush-” he kisses you. you wrapped your arms around his neck and happily kissed him. his hands grazed your waist, pulling you closer.

By the minute, the kiss progressively grew heated. he definitely showed how much he liked you through the kiss. you hummed against his lips as his cold hands went under your shirt.

you hear a series of knocks at the bathroom door.

“Hey umm, heeseung we kinda need to start the match. The next rival is waiting and he is kinda impatient.” sunghoon says.

heeseung breaks the kiss and groans.

“fine but wait a minute. my lady needs to change.”

“YOUR LADY?? WOAH WOAH THE FUCK HAPPENED IN THERE.” sunghoon yells.

“things happened, now could you please relay the message. I’ll be there in a hot minute.” heeseung says.

“h-hot minute!? don’t tell me you are about to undress (name) and in a non holy way.”

“HOON SHUT IT.” you yelled. heeseung snorts. he hands you the outfit.

“I won’t peek, don’t worry.” he whispers into your ears before turning away. you shook your head and simply took off your shirt and changed into the outfit.

Once you made it out to the track area, you noticed the rival eyeing you down. As per usual. heeseung smirks, his hands wrapping around your waist as you walked towards the rival.

“nice seeing you again.” heeseung says. The guy scoffs.

“your new playtoy?”

“new?” heeseung smirks, “I think she would stick around for a long time though.” heeseung caresses your cheek lovingly.

“she’s ugly by the way.” the guy says.

“she wouldn’t be ugly if everyone wasn’t caught staring at her.” heeseung retorts back. The guy clenches his fist. you walked over and grabbed the flag. the race starts after you finished counting down. it was obvious who was going to win.

heeseung passes the finishing line with a huge gap against his rival. he doesn’t even bother looking back at his rival before making his way over to you.

“let’s leave together.”

“yes.” was all you said. heeseung pulls into a passionate kiss and spins you around happily.

love, it worked in many weird ways. you never thought you’d fall in love with the same guy who you despise but here you were and there were many more years to come with him.

[skyward-floored]

Whenever you get to this -- it's not terribly important, but how would you describe each of the chain's personalities to be like?

You’ve found my writing weakness Ladye, I struggle immensely with looking at a character and writing out their personality XD

That’s an interesting question! One I think about a lot when I’m writing actually, because at their core? All the Links are made of the same stuff. It can be difficult to parse out what makes them individuals sometimes (especially writing it out 😂) but I did my best here!

Under a readmore because this is LONG

Time - stubborn, responsible, and serious, but not as much as you’d expect from his appearance. Most leader-y of the group, he’s stern yes, but mostly only when he’s trying to keep the other Links safe (the Like Like incident, when Twilight is injured and insists he’s well enough to fight, etc). His overall personality seems to me more lighthearted then you’d expect at first glance— after all, he enjoys teasing the other Links, and even pranks them now and then.

It seems like he’s largely moved past and healed from what happened during his adventures, (probably due to how it’s been longer since them unlike the other Links), and not much seems to bother him. He can even joke about them a little (“the moon”), though he stays mysterious about details. He seems a pretty private person as well, except around his wife and a few select others.

Twilight - protective and stubborn to a fault, he cares deeply for those he loves. Another leader of the group, but he doesn’t think of himself as the leader-type as much. He falls into the role though, since the others tend to look to him, and he manages it well.

He has a melancholic sense about him, one that he’s only partially-good at hiding. He’s still very much getting over his complicated feelings about Midna’s departure, and that sadness bleeds into his personality sometimes. Good with kids and animals, knows how to wrangle them both really well, but he can be a little overprotective on occasion, and forgets how age isn’t necessarily an indicator of how responsible and/or skilled you are, which the younger Links bristle at.

Warriors - polished, put together, and a bit prideful, but he’s well aware of what happens if he gets too cocky and keeps it in check. The other leader of the group, he seems to focus largely on making plans, and keeping up the overall morale of the Links. A charmer, good at saying what people want to hear, and also figuring out what makes people tick. His first impression of people is rarely incorrect.

Good at keeping the group organized, and one of the few Links good at working alongside others, he also seems to be the one to break up fights if they get to be less teasing and more serious. Has a strong sense of justice as well, he hates those who would betray their allies/beliefs.

Four - Calm and focused and very mature, so much that several of the others believe him to be much older than he is. He’s very good at keeping his emotions in check and staying collected, right up to the point where he... isn’t. Gets frustrated with himself if he gets to that point and lashes out, but this only happens rarely.

One of the quietest Links, he tends to keep to himself, but he’s one of the heroes most used to being in a group, and generally handles it very well. Very book-smart and eager to learn, but has a deep distrust of any sort of magic that’s even remotely dark. Also knows how to keep the peace, and generally smooth flaring tempers... unless he’s the one who’s upset.

Wind - the youngest but by no means the weakest Link, Wind is a skilled fighter for his age and the brightest personality among the group. Exuberant and cheerful, his happy attitude can sometimes be taken for frivolousness. But he’s able to take a situation just as seriously as the rest of them— he just tends to look on the bright side of it.

Tends to be underestimated due to his age, and he’s not afraid to call people out on it. He fights hard to be taken seriously, and greatly appreciates how Time treats him as just as capable as everyone else. He still has a childish side to him though, which can be both a strength and a weakness.

Wild - fond of exciting schemes, always willing to go along with what seems like a crazy idea, and deeply traumatized with an identity crisis on top. Tends to be very argumentative and quick to make jokes, but usually he knows when he’s going too far (...usually). Highly defensive of Zelda, and not afraid to argue against any conceived slight against her. She had enough bad things said about her when she couldn’t unlock her powers, and he takes his defense of her seriously.

Greatly insecure about how much of a hero he is due to how he failed— being around so many others who succeeded is difficult, especially when they rarely discuss how close they all came to failing sometimes. Has the greatest trouble working in a group, and it’s caused several issues in the time he’s been with the Links, especially with those that are used to it.

Legend - prickly exterior, soft all the way through. Quick to tease and throw jabs, but he doesn’t truly mean anything by it. It’s a defensive measure more then anything to keep people at arm’s length. Could be a leader, but he chooses not to be— he doesn’t like all that responsibility on his head, and will only step up if the others are truly out of commission.

Reliable and mature for his age due to all his adventures, he seems totally unbothered by what he went through (though Koholint especially weighs heavy on his heart). Seems aloof at times, but cares just as much as Twilight, even if he doesn’t outwardly show it. Is younger than he projects himself to be.

Hyrule - humble and kind, he’s also got a level of sass that sometimes rears it’s head and surprises people. Tends to downplay himself and his skills, doesn’t think he’s a true “hero” like the others, despite being skilled in almost anything he puts his mind to. Has incredible tenacity and refuses to give up no matter the odds against him— he’s made of stronger stuff then he thinks.

Very decisive, knows when to act, and would make a great leader someday if he ever managed to get past his poor view of himself. Has a mysterious side to him as well, similar to Time’s in a way. Not the best in a group, generally prefers to be in either a smaller group or by himself.

Sky - seemingly open with his emotions, kind and cheerful, Sky seems a bit airheaded at times. But he has a great strength of spirit, and is deadly on the battlefield— those who have underestimated him have not lived to tell the tale.

Has a mischievous side that isn’t immediately evident, but it’s there, and its quite a sight to behold when his sassiness comes up with it as well. Tends to keep his heavier thoughts and emotions close to his chest though, and prefers to push through and not dwell on them, which is bad news later when it gets to be too much for him.

do you have any tips at improving at art especially as a fellow 15 year old?

hiya! i have a few, but also itd help if youd follow up with something a little more specific. these are my main tenants though:

theyre not kidding when they say you should draw from life and photos. think hard about form and the lines and shapes you actually see with your eyes, not what you know.

look at skeletons, blueprints, muscle diagrams, sewing patterns, furniture instructions, anything. understanding what’s going on to physically make up the things you draw works wonders with new things/anything you don’t yet have down pat

play with perspective and dynamic poses. photo drawing refs are a good start, but oftentimes end up being very stiff. use your own mind’s eye and trial and error to make your art more interesting and dynamic

color theory. study it. implement it. art is a space for you to play in, and learning color theory gives guidelines for how to get the most fun out of it. never underestimate the power of learning how to draw a warm colored thing in cold lighting

let your art be YOUR ART. take inspiration from and study the methods of artists that inspire you, but also remember that you’re different people. your art will be different, it will look like you made it, and that’s fine— especially if you’re at the start of your art journey

seriously, practice. practice practice practice. practice the things you’re good at practice the things you suck at, it will all come more naturally the longer you go on. and make practicing fun! draw characters or things you like, and find how to improve at art through that window.

if you think something looks way above your skill level, you’re probably right. but you should absolutely take a shot at it. throw yourself in and learn your lessons from it. find out exactly how and why you’re not able to do something yet

[barbariccia]

so i’m being taken through fftactics (wotl version) for the first time in my life (shocking, i know, but i gargle bollocks at tactical games and my inability to be able to do those unfortunately trumps my desire to play every ff ever) by my love, my light, my absolute nemesis @reflectionsofacreator​

guess i should keep an ongoing thread on my thoughts and feelings!

chapter 1 (the lookbackening)

very much enjoying myself with this so far! i knew i would but i think i vastly underestimated just how much i thought i would

despite knowing that some Whack Ass Shit is going to happen later on wrt the lucavi et al, i honestly would be really happy with just a standard fantastical story the way it’s being presented in chapter 1. no traditional ff bullshit, just a good scathing look at a highly unequal class system and the people that fight against (and perpetuate!) it.

for a surprising not-a-lot-of-scenes-in-chapter-1-all-things-considered, the characters are strong from their introduction and don’t feel hackneyed or clichéd (even though they’re from around the time of Man Those Clichés Sure Are Beginning To Exist).

the spritework and diorama-esque scenery are absolutely gorgeous for their time and their simplicity. i’m honestly kind of blown away by how simple the sprites are but how much they’re doing and portraying. every little lean, every glance over the shoulder, the light, the colours,,, stunning, honestly. i even enjoy the difference in text boxes (to what i’m used to) - how they feel like they read naturally, at a decent pace, clearly signposted as to who’s who!

i do not , however, care overmuch for the portraits - while i very much appreciate that they’re giving us a nice little slice of life in ivalice and its members at the top of the food chain, everyone looks too similar for me to be able to differentiate immediately. as much as like akihiko yoshida’s artwork, i also think the stylistic lack of noses in the portraits doesn’t do them any favours in a. helping to look different enough for my liking and b. unfortunately takes away from some of the seriousness of the scenes. i’m sorry, wiegraf, your hard calls are very moving, but... how do you smell? (baadly god i’m so sorry for that one. i already know he turns into belias. i can only apologise.)

however, a good conversation with azly/reflections about the absolute goofiness of dycedarg’s hairstyle ended up being a really good talk - to me, ivalice is (has been, always will be) very theatrical. it makes sense, then, for the sprites (and portraits) to be somewhat theatrical in nature - big silly hairstyles to show you who’s who, a uniform of sorts - it all adds up and looks very natural, even when some of the design choices are... well, sure designs!

who the fuck is naming their kids shit like larg and zalbaag et al?

it’s interesting playing wotl when azly/reflections has previously played the psx version - i get a nice insight into what they’re used to considering as the “true” names (and the same with places et al), and then double-checking the kana via the ffwiki. “mol” i hear you say “what is the truth: argath or algus?” to which i say neither, i am taking a third path and simply calling him algath which i think flows better and is in keeping with the kana. if they did not want this they should have called him ア―ガス and not アルガス and should have anticipated that one day i would make this decision, quite fucking frankly.

similarly wrt translation differences, getting “this is what X said in this scene in the psx version” makes my evening. i keep making comparisons to lotr and tolkein’s usage of low language because... damn, i really feel like that sort of thing would work in this setting. great, i love ye fake olde manners of speaking and being all fun and theatrical about it! still works for the ivalice setting, but there’s some lines that really would’ve worked better had they not been... on par with everything else. i’m thinking specifically at ziekden: after hearing algath prattle on, and on, and on--

Delita (WotL): Is our forked tongue done flitting? What I'd hear from your lips are not words!

Delita (PSX): Is that it? Is that all, Algus?!

i know which i’d choose. unfortunately a cursory look for the script actually seems to indicate that people... prefer the PSX version and think the wotl version is too... wordy? silly sounding? whatever. it’s a shame, is what it is.

so, the characters themselves, now:

knowing that algath is capital-d Dead by the end of chapter 1 is a relief, because i’m not sure how much more i, a veteran xiv player, could take of hearing his fucking voice from rabanastre and yell them aloud once the appropriate line is spoken.

pictured: three perfectly normal* ivalice fans all taking equal psychic damage.

i’m a little ashamed to admit how much i enjoyed algath’s brief debut. oh my god, what a shitheel? what an absolutely pathetic pile of mediocracy. i have got to do something about those zero-redeeming-quality characters that i keep enjoying, yeesh. on his own he wouldn’t even ping on the interesting scale, it’s just his association with ramza and delita that makes me go 👀hello? dynamics? tasty dynamics?

i’m really enjoying delita, who’s name i cannot spell correctly on the first try, as well. not that i think the “commoner invited to live above his station” is an overdone trope or anything like that, but he’s just such a... genuine little dude that i want desperately to know what his role in the rest of the story is going to be. or not be! fftactics: the Delita Not Appearing version. especially considering how much of algath’s diatribe he was party to, knowing that he was very earnestly not on the same wavelength as ramza all this time... even though they were friends without any problems til now. (onscreen, at least.) thanks, algath. jerk.

it is WILD to see ramza as a sweet little  thing with pinchable cheeks rather than the absolute ass he was in the RtI raid series. he’s very naive. i like that about him - he’d be terrible as a protagonist if he didn’t try and grow from any of this, so of course he’s going to be doing some of that, but... i dunno, something about growing up and losing everything you ever had. being changed by the hero’s story etc etc tale as old as time etc etc we can never go home for it no longer exists etc.

a delight to be listening to fft tracks again as well, even if i feel like i should be doing mechanics instead of sitting peacefully watching it all play out. azly/reflection is gonna jumpscare me with tgcid or something, i can taste it in the air.

i swear to all the scions of light and darkness if we pick up a random unit with the generated name of orella i’m going to shriek so fucking loudly every person on the original team is going to hear it

One-sided Homelander x Alien reader

So this was based on a story written by @operation-619, while it was cool to read I was a little disappointed. Not at the story itself but kind of at the character/reader that she wrote out. This isn't to say what she wrote was terrible but... I honestly wanted more of something. I suggest you read that story though, it's Homelander x reader if my memory is correct. It is a recent post if my memory is correct so it shouldn't be hard to find. To be fair, my story isn't so good I just wanted a chaotic reader I guess.

If anyone's wondering I took inspiration from JJBA, HxH, and Invincible. Apologies about the lack of dialogue and the amount of description and expedition. It was just things I was looking forward to seeing in the story. No, the reader doesn't have the same powers as Homelander... well she can't fly, I thought the scenario of reader having the exact same powers would be boring.

I was thinking of a black reader but then I wondered about readers who aren't black and just put foreign reader.

When you came down to Earth you weren't really sure what to expect other than the stories that were given by your elders, passed down to generations whether you were a student, a neighbour, or a family member. The humans were not animals so you couldn't contemplate eating anyone.

It was easy to adapt, quickly learning languages just by hearing a few sentences, growing accustomed to the environment. You received strange looks, specifically being stared at every 5 minutes. (Think 80s Chisato Moritaka).

The technology was different, used in a way that you weren't familiar with. The clothes were kind of similar, but the materials were easy to tear apart so you stuck to your own clothes. Your spaceship was surprisingly hard to hide, it was easy to access since you accidentally disabled the lock. You didn't ask your parents for help out of fear of them giving you an earful about being irresponsible.

Everyone you came across was like an ant, the supes were spiders. The funny thing about ants is that you have to scrape them to kill them properly, many underestimate how strong they are. Simply stepping on them isn't enough, and yet you find yourself saving them. So often that you were being recorded, the kids that lived near flung to you, asking all sorts of questions. Taking pictures where you flexed your muscles at the camera. While they were not sure whether or not they should take you seriously whenever you spoke about your planet and wore your strange clothes, it felt good to be around these humans.

On your planet you are a mere child with centuries to learn. Having a desire to impress your parents, entering competitions to show how capable you are. But you were young and very easy to take down, so you spend most of your teenage-hood exploring different planets.

Everyone on your planet has the same trait: Speed, strength, and then one ability that defines you from everyone else. For you it was your hair, it seemed to have a mind of its own at times. It would be short one second and then overwhelmingly long the next. If you braided it then it would become snake-like. Your hair was strong enough to break buildings and there were a lot of occasions where you used it to fly. You mastered the art of learning how to detangle each strand so you never worried about getting them stuck.

You and your people were powerful, and still found the need to improve themselves, however. Testing each other's might, and fighting was simply a game. Evil was rare, an action that happened but wasn't so recent. Bruises weren't new and they would go away before you knew it. But it wasn't the same for these humans.

There was so much otherness. The bad kind. Robberies, murders and the like, it was almost vomit worthy but you stayed. Curious to see what else you would find on this problematic planet.

That's when Vought approached you, introducing you to the 7. They told you how "superheroes should stick together", and how "you will fit so well here". Your costume, while perplexing to some was everything to you. You remembered when you were at the fitting and threw a tantrum at the bikini the costume department prepared for you. If your mother ever caught wind of you in such a thing you wouldn't be allowed to travel to any planet ever again, so you stuck to your battle suit. (minus the jewellery)

Since then you were given the name Mighty Ase (pronounced ah-she), an old Norse name meaning 'god-like' or 'goddess'. Everyone knew your real name thanks to the teenagers that took pictures with you so you didn't understand the whole alias thing. Why were the 7 ashamed of letting people know who they were yet were okay with everyone knowing their face? Again, another Earth concept you didn't understand but would in time.

Overall, you completed tasks to save people, stop crime and protect the good side of humanity. You would visit children, be a mascot at charities, and you never had a problem with anyone. Everyone was happy. It was exciting... sort of.

A-Train: Fast but you knew your sister was much faster. Speed was nothing new and you genuinely wondered why that was anything special. The way he handled people reminded you of that time you accidentally killed a poor dog while petting it, the difference is that he wasn't so caring.

Starlight: Good as she is beautiful. Her presence was mostly honest and you couldn't help but admire her kindness and passion to do the right things. You didn't sense anything off about her, when she was upset then you were upset, knowing it was for the right reasons. She only told you why sometimes but whatever battle she was fighting wasn't for you to get involved in. You were still new and she didn't want to scare you or put you on edge just yet.

Queen Maeve: Older women in general set you on edge so you avoided talking to her. She was alright, but if you were bullet proof then so was everyone on your planet. She also gave you off vibes.

Deep Sea: Could he really talk to fish? You had the appetite for jellyfish and wondered if he could snag you some but he would never be up for it. It was safe to say that he didn't like you.

Black Noir: Quiet. Boring. You've seen children with better stealth.

Stormfront: You sensed dislike. A strong dislike that was almost unimaginable. Hate? Is that what that is? But why? You didn't do anything to her, but it was safe to say the feeling was mutual. If things got worse you could always consider eating her and being done with it. Besides that, a little lightning never hurt. You recall being struck a few times in your younger days, your father's training.

Homelander: In human years he was old enough to be your father's age. While his laser beams were impressive he used it too often, and even you knew such laziness was not to be tolerated. You remembered when the school bully lasered your arm, it took 2 months to heal. After 10 decades they weren't as effective and you grew strong enough to catch those lasers. How bothersome to be reminded of her of all people. When you met Homelander there may have been two things you did wrong. Since he was a supe you believed you didn't have to hold back when you both shook hands, you greeted him as you would anyone else. There was something wrong with this, yet he was super nice to you, and you guessed that it had to do with the fact that he must've known you were a teenager. Babying you and offering to take you to places, which you did enjoy most of the time but also dismissed to do other things. You sensed tension between him and Starlight though, so you kept your distance.

Homelander would find any way to grow close to you. To impress you. You pretended not to mind him but the way he handled things is similar to that of a sloppy child that tried to assure everyone that it knew what it was doing. The way he held himself was like an actor playing a character for the screen. Even his smile was strange. Perhaps you were so used to honesty that you couldn't calculate if someone was lying.

Not to slander them but there was something wrong that you weren't getting. Things were not adding up, and finally you went on the internet. You decided to use the primitive phones to do something other than calling for once. Once you gathered everything you confronted Starlight, that's when she told you everything.

You were oblivious. Vought took extra precautions to make sure you didn't discover the facade. You didn't watch the news and it was clear that they used that to their advantage. You were a great asset, if anything potentially happened to Homelander then you would replace him. You were great with people, were nice to the employees, and you never bothered anyone or made things hard.

Except you did.

You knelt down to the body of Stormfront, your fellow 7. Formerly. You licked the blood off your bloody hands and spat it out, taking a careful inspection at your sharp nails that grew from the bloodlust. From your peripheral vision you could make out Kimiko approaching you hesitantly.

You ignored her, your hair poking at the body. You strangely didn't feel sad, you were glad. You felt justice- no, it felt like a justifiable thing to do. This is how it's done on your home planet. Take the trouble maker, then exterminate.

"Sorry for intruding. Kimiko, was it?" you said, standing up straight and holding your hand out to her. "I heard you were a friend of Annie, I was wondering if I could help. Don't worry about the damage, my people will have it sorted out."

You'll also sort out Vought.

Nynaeve and maybe Lan for the blorbo bingo?

Thank you!

Nynaeve! <3 <3

I love her to pieces. Her PoV is a genuine trip, utterly delightful. I also love how the show feels like it distilled the essence of her and filtered out Jordan's weird obsession with making all authority figures cartoonishly violent, I have to say. Nynaeve doesn't need a thumping stick and I'm glad it was taken away from her, lol.

I love how she adopts these kids as her responsibility and then takes that so seriously that she turns her own world upside down in order to help them. I love that she both underestimates how wonderful she is while at the same time believing she is the only person in the world who isn't a fool.

The "writer's dropped the ball" is pretty much entirely about how she basically disappears as a headlining character after she and Lan get married. After that, she mostly plays back-up singer in other people's plotlines, even though there were still tons of plots that she could have headlined (I am crossing my fingers hard that we get Nynaeve doing the Black Tower plotline in the show!). Her being essentially a battery for Rand in the cleansing, for example, is just... Jordan did not have to write the plot that way.

I think that the show will absolutely not make that mistake and we will get Peak Nynaeve for the entire run. <3

I like Lan so much more in the show haha. In the books, I honestly mostly just tolerate him because many characters that I care about love him, but I genuinely love him for his own sake in the show!

The relationships that we got to see him showing with Moiraine and with the other Warders were a genuine highlight for me and I'm looking forward to seeing where he goes in the future. <3 <3 <3

The biggest issue I have with Lan is that he often gets treated as a Cool Mentor With Great Advice and some people (though not as often on tumblr) don't seem to realize that the advice that he gives Rand is awful, actually, and that the books are critiquing Lan's advice and following his advice is one of the big things that turns Rand into 'brittle hard' rather than 'flexible strong'. The thing about Lan is that he's been essentially abused since childhood by the remnants of his culture -- in a way that is understandable emotionally (he is the Lost and Last King of Malkier) but raising a child to believe it's his duty to go kill himself in an unwinnable war is a bad thing. Jordan actually DID see this very much about Lan's character -- that's the whole point about Nynaeve (and Rand) breaking down the walls inside him and letting hope back into his life. Or even back in New Spring, when Moiraine gives him a reason to dedicate his life to a purpose instead of just promising his death to a purpose (and we actively see him being abused by his culture in that book via that lady whose name I forget).

Book!Lan is the Fight Club of Wheel of Time, I guess I'm saying.

[smilesrobotlover]

with kotg ( king of the gerudo) you told us about revali but you also mentioned you had ideas for Ammon, Orman, and Mipha if you want to why don’t you tell us some of your ideas also I really love this au

Aight so I’ll talk about Orman here since he’s less introduced that Ammon. I honestly can’t put in the words for Mipha so I won’t get into her unfortunately.

So I mentioned in one of my posts how Lurelin village I feel is a forgotten village, not utilized like the other villages, so I’m gonna say that it is a pretty forgotten village. Unless you’re from Hateno, the neighboring village. Lurelin is a very small fishing village that’s tucked away on the beach, usually surrounded by monster camps and what not. Castle town normally gets fish from Zora’s domain, Hylian rice is normally from Hateno, its just not very well known. So when a Lurelin fisherman becomes the bodyguard for the king, it’s a pretty big deal. Especially in Lurelin. Normally in such a high position, your private life is kept secret to protect your loved ones. But everyone in Lurelin knows Orman, and they know who he’s married to and who his kids are (he has four daughters ☺️). Luckily everyone loves Orman and his family so it’s not a huge deal. And people outside of Lurelin don’t know him and his family. The soldiers didn’t take Orman very seriously, mostly from not taking Lurelin seriously, but also he’s a total goofball. They think he doesn’t take his job seriously since he acts pretty aloof at times. I mean in public he’s very serious, but around others when he’s not working he’s a goof. But make no mistake, he trained with his fishing spears, he’s very skilled as a fighter. It’s no easy feat to be the king’s bodyguard, so don’t underestimate him. I love him.

He and Ammon met when they fought in a battle together and had to fight off armies of monsters single-handedly while protecting their fellow soldiers. This gave them a huge honor and they became the King’s bodyguards. They grew very close, due to shared trauma but also they just clicked. Idk if I actually shared this but Ammon lost his older brother to the yiga when he was 17 and Orman kinda fit that role. So they’re more than friends they are BROTHERS. Orman’s daughters call Ammon uncle and vice versa, they’re just that close. It helps that their villages are so close too.

Ammon is a city boy, born and raised in castle town. But he wasn’t originally gonna be a soldier. But with his brother getting murdered by the yiga, Ammon worked hard to be a soldier. He wanted to be capable enough to protect the people he cared about. But once he meets his wife Sarah, he moves to her home in Hateno. But with that battle he and Orman became the bodyguards so… yay. Ammon has two kids, Aryn and Link :D

[sometipsygnostalgic]

So I’ve been developing an AU where Bow and Entrapta swap places! 

Here are the key points of this AU for Entrapta:  

Entrapta is Glimmer’s cousin, the child of one of Micah’s more distant non-magical siblings. When she lost her parents as a kid she was alone for a little while, and after people caught on there was some debate with whether she should go to Castaspella or Micah. She had no  magical powers so she went with Micah, and was effectively raised as Glimmer’s older sister. 

She’s about 3-5 years older than Glimmer here. 

Entrapta lacks her hair powers and has less tech advancement, so she is a bit of an underdog in the Rebellion. People are not afraid of her here, they underestimate her but she’s still a chaos gremlin who loves technology and machines, and adapts quickly to new challenges set in front of her.

Somehow she still gets Emily. She builds tiny robots. I’m going to struggle to stop her from trying to befriend Hordak and Catra.   

Glimmer is largely the same, except without Bow around during her childhood as the Voice of Reason, so instead Glimmer and Entrapta take turns being the voice of reason (though if you ask Glimmer she will claim she is always the sensible one).  

Adora and Entrapta should not be allowed in a room together. Adora’s storyline might get challenged if she has Entrapta there pushing her towards chaos and asking questions about how She-ra works and why Light Hope is stealing energy from the runestones.  

Their core conflict is that Glimmer has all of the expectations placed on her while Entrapta is seen as a bit of a disaster nobody, and nobody has any expectations of her. So from Entrapta’s POV, everybody believes in Glimmer and nobody believes in her, she’s the Amethyst of this situation and the black sheep, while from Glimmer’s POV, she is fighting so hard to be her best self at all times to break out of Angella’s shadow, while Entrapta never takes anything seriously and does pretty much what she wants. .  

Entrapta’s relationship to Angella is pretty awkward and complicated, because Angella is so focused on Glimmer. Entrapta doesn’t call her “mom” or even “aunt” most of the time, just “Angella”. However Angella does truly care about her niece.  

Bow meanwhile.... 

Bow is the Prince of Dryl and in charge of the kingdom already. Bow never really wanted to be a Prince but takes his responsibility very seriously and has pushed down all of his own desires in order to live up to his fathers’ expectations. His fathers love him very much but, like in the show, he thinks if he does a bad job then he will be letting them down, and they fail to recognise that he’s unhappy. So, Bow shuts things out and becomes a pragmatic character.  

Bow’s technology is very polished and he rarely has experimental mishaps but he’s not as into it, he doesn’t see his robots as people for example. Bow has a utilitarian approach to technology and his work serves its purpose perfectly and is well-tested before use.  

He doesn’t have any close friends, though he is very good in social situations as always - he has lots of practice. Bow is a charmer among the boys and girls, in COMPLETE contrast to Entrapta. However, he never gets to truly connect to people, as genuine as he comes across. 

Bow charms Glimmer pretty hard when they first meet, she gets a crush on the guy and there’s something about her that he likes. When she gets kidnapped at Princess Prom he offers his support to rescue her. 

Bow is presumed dead after No Princess Left Behind (and I’d do a much more convincing job than the show did here...) but in reality he decides to join the Horde because he thinks they can help him advance his technology and the Rebellion is a disaster so he thinks it’s the only way to safeguard his family and kingdom.   

Glimmer is Fucking Pissed when she finds out and she thinks Bow is a douche now but they do interact again. Oh god I turned them into Glitra 2.0.  Bow’s relationship to Catra is nothing like Entrapta’s since he isn’t in it for the friendship and she doesn’t interest him much, but Bow actually warms up greatly to Scorpia. Bow loses his shit constantly at Hordak’s weird technological choices and isn’t afraid to call them out.  

Over time Glimmer starts to realise that deep down Bow is a dork. Bow wants to use a bow and arrow and bare his abs, but is stuck using useful weapons and robots and dressing like a sensible person. He is a very repressed individual and his banter with Glimmer and other characters reveals the cracks in his cool facade. Eventually he learns to embrace his dorky side and stop hiding from his emotions. 

So the purpose of this AU is mostly to show how Bow and Entrapta would be different if thrown into each other’s circumstances, namely their relationship to technology and to heart:  Entrapta’s connection to these things is part of her very soul, I reckon, or at least she’s always going to be autistic and have the experiences that lead her to relate to machines. She can find love in technology and that is what she focuses on.  However Entrapta’s technology is very chaotic and prototyped, she could have been far deadlier if her distractability and sheer love for science didn’t get in the way of the whole “making weapons for the Horde” thing. But she is a chaos gremlin through and through so that’s not going to happen. In these circumstances she’d struggle a lot with the inability to escape social situations but also have more support pillars from Glimmer and Adora, and can look out for them too.   

Bow meanwhile CHOOSES to embrace love and connection, it’s more socialised into him by his parents, and I think there is an unexplored more jaded side to him, that we see sometimes like in Reunion where he hides his identity from his parents. I think Prince Bow, a version of him without Glimmer in his life, would be very susceptible to pressure and would make pragmatic choices over following his heart. I also think he would be far more efficient and deadly at tech than Entrapta because he doesn’t get distracted, but at the same time, she’s always going to figure out his work and keep up with him for as long as he isn’t truly passionate about it, and what Bow is passionate about is his arrows. That’s his dream, to become an archer, but he doesn’t think he can follow it.    

So yeah Bow is basically Equius Zahhak but more likable. Also he was meant to have a goatee but I only remembered to draw it in one panel. Since Entrapta’s hair isn’t magic she just cuts it short.

Paloma Silkflower

B A S I C S

- Full name: Paloma Silkflower - Gender: Female - Sexuality: Pansexual - Pronouns: She/Her

O T H E R

- Family: -> Father: Unknown. She has no idea who her father. -> Mother: Veera. She was a drow cleric from Buiyrandyn. She fled for the surface after Paloma was born, but not much is known about her. She died when Paloma was two from the plague. -> Adopted Younger Sister: Lamia Ambler. She's a changeling rogue who grew up in the same orphanage as Paloma. Paloma took on the role of older sister to her and they're still close. Paloma doesn't approve of Lamia's thieving lifestyle, but she loves her nonetheless. Lamia is the weird aunt to her kids. -> Children: Orianna, Lucan, and Meriele. Orianna is the eldest at 12. She's awkward and creative. She's already acting a lot like her mother in terms of taking her big sister status seriously. Lucan is the middle child at 10. He has a big heart, but like every other 10-year-old on the planet, he's absolutely unhinged. He's a pretty sensitive kid who would be eaten alive in traditional drow society. Meriele is the youngest at 9. Meriele is deaf and communicates through sign language. She's often underestimated and uses it to her advantage. She loves animals and will probably grow up to be a druid just to be with them all day. They're certainly better than most people. -> Ex-Lover: Belgos was a drow ranger who fathered Paloma's children. She doesn't talk about him much these days. He wanted to be a dad until one day he didn't, leaving her alone with the kids. He most likely returned to the Underdark. -Birthplace: She was born in the Underdark, but she doesn't know where. She was actually from Buiyrandyn, a Drow settlement that was known for rejecting Lolth. It was destroyed by mind flayers. - Job: Monk - Phobias: It's not officially a phobia, but she's terrified of anything bad hurting her family, and she's scared of being a bad mom. She's terrified of not being needed. Her actual phobia would be claustrophobia. - Guilty pleasures: She considers staying home to read while curled up with snacks to be a guilty pleasure. For her, just taking a day off makes her feel guilty. She would consider afternoon naps to be a guilty pleasure, too. - Hobbies: Spending time with her children, meditating, martial arts training, being out in nature, nature walks, adventuring, and reading.

Shadowheart trusts her simply because she doesn't pry. -> Jaheira — She doesn't see eye to eye with Jaheira on how she raises her kids, exactly, but they get each other. They can talk to each other about things almost no one else in the group can. She also appreciates Jaheira's sense of humor. - Notp: I can't think of one. I usually just steer clear of the more problematic ships, personally. Maybe Minthara/Paloma?

Pairing: 10k x reader, Addy Carver x sister reader

Warnings: swearing, smut

Chapter: 2.14

“We were completely different at school. Addy was always popular. I was really shy, the type of shy where you're too scared to put your hand up in class in case nobody cares what you had to say.”

“Could've bet on you being the quiet sibling,” Doc chuckled before joining your sister in trying to figure out why the car broke down.

“I like that you are quiet. Quiet people are always underestimated,” 10k smiled. “Well, everyone except you. I’ve always been able to see how badass you are.”

Your lips pressed together as you smiled. You turned to look up at him as he sat on a piece of metal behind you. 10k quickly jumped down to sit beside you and pressed a kiss to your forehead.

“You two make me sick,” Murphy says, scrunching his nose up. His facial expression changes from disgust to annoyance when he sees 10k lighting a cigarette. “Where the hell did you get those?”

10k takes a puff of his cigarette without answering him. Rolling your eyes, you pull out a carton with a few cigarettes left and toss it to Murphy.

Happy that he had gotten some, Murphy walked away to annoy someone else, but Warren stepped in front of him. “Looks like we are going by foot. Grab what you can.”

Everyone collected their stuff, making sure they had everything they needed, aside from Murphy, who sat pouting. You smirked, “Come on, princess, she means you too.”

—

“How far is it to this supposed rendezvous?” Murphy asks as your group continues to walk through what looks like a very large junkyard.

“A day walk. Maybe two,” your sister answers.

“Everything looks the same.”

You let out a snort, “a zombie apocalypse and a nuke will do that.”

The next few hours went by fast when the conversation turned to what everyone was doing when the apocalypse started. Warren was working at her posted military base. Murphy was in prison. Doc was working as an addiction counsellor when the Z’s attacked. 10k was fishing when he got surrounded, but his dad saved him. Addy was at an ice hockey game and met Mack while escaping. It was bittersweet hearing people talk about him. It made you miss the way things used to be.

You roll your eyes as Murphy continues to moan. “Does anyone even know where we are? It feels like we’ve been walking forever.”

“Somewhere outside sunny California.”

“Seriously, how much further? I don’t feel so good.”

“We should take a break,” Warren says before sitting down.

After a few moments of silence, Addy jumps to her feet. “It can’t be,” she says, turning to look at you with a blank expression on her face. “Where was the one place we always wanted to go as kids? The one place dad always said he’d take us but never did.”

It took you a few seconds to remember, but your eyes widened when you did. “Get out, it can’t be.”

“For real.”

“Well?” Murphy huffed, unimpressed. “Where are we?”

“Disneyland.”

“Uh huh,” Addy shook her head. “Hard to tell for sure, but I think a small world would have been right over there.”

She points to a large pile of rubble.

“Hey, do you still take pictures to document the apocalypse?” 10k asked, pointing to the ‘happiest place on earth’ sign that was still intact.

“I still have my camera, but I ran out of film a while ago. Shame that would have been a good one.”

—

You stared out at the large hole in the wall as the night got darker while the rest of your group finished eating their rations for that night. You sighed, “I’m gonna take a look around. Make sure we are the only ones here.”

“I’ll go with you,” 10k said before finishing the last of his food.

Warren looked unsure as her eyes moved between you. “Fine, but make sure you're back for us leaving. I don’t want to waste time in the morning sending out a search party.”

—

“I think I’ve found something.”

You toss the box you’d been looking through onto the ground to search for 10k. You’d searched the small building for Z’s and found none, along with no supplies.

The area you were standing in was nothing but four brick walls, dirt, dust, and rumble. You scanned the room, trying to figure out where 10k had gone. “Tommy?”

You let out a squeal and jumped when a metallic clanging noise rang out from behind you. Spinning quickly, you see that 10k has dropped ladders down from a higher ledge. Laughing your fright off, you climb up them to see what he’s found.

“I guess someone was living up here,” 10k says, taking off his shoes.

“What are you doing?”

“Getting comfy,” he smiles.

Once you are up on the ledge, he pulls the ladder back up to stop any Z’s from joining you. The previous person who’d been staying in the building had managed to find a mattress, bed covers, and pillows, which was rare.

You lean back into the bed and stare up at the darkening sky, watching a flock of birds fly by. 10k rolled onto his side to face you, “How’s Addy doing? She seemed pretty upset before.”

“It’s hard for her to talk about Mack. Hell, I miss him like crazy and I thought he was a pain in the ass most of the time… I don’t know how she does it. If she hadn’t met Mack that night, neither of us would have made it this far. I wouldn’t have made it on my own.”

“It’s easier than you think. I did it for a long time. After my pa turned, it was just me until I met all of you guys.”

“I’m glad you did.” You let out a small chuckle. “I’ve lost count how many times you’ve saved my ass.”

He brushes a strand of hair out of your face, “it’s just what we do, save each other.”

“Tommy, I uh…” you said nervously, biting your bottom lip. “I need to say what I’m about to say, not because I want you to say it back, but because I need you to know how I feel in case something happens to me. I’m in love with you.”

10k shuffles awkwardly as he remains speechless. He looked down and mumbled something you don’t quite make out.

“What?”

“I'm afraid to say it,” he says quietly, “I told my ma I loved her before going to make her some breakfast, and when I came back she'd died in her sleep. I told my pa I loved him before he went out hunting and got bit. I- I just can’t say it.”

“Then don’t,” you say softly.

You lean forward and kiss him. When you pull back, 10k has a look of guilt on his face. “I know you care, Tommy. I see it every time you risk your life for mine or someone else you care about.”

10k kisses you again, but this time it’s different. It feels more urgent. In one swift motion, 10k wraps his arms around you and rolls you so you are on top of him. You deepen the kiss and only pull away to remove your top and bra. His hands start to roam, up your arms to your shoulders, and they stop when they reach your breasts. 10k looks up at you nervously, “Is this okay?”

You nodded before finding his lips again. You move off his lap and start to undress each other. You lie side by side on the bed with only the blanket covering your bodies. 10k lets out a quiet moan when you start kissing his jawline and neck as you wrap your hands around him, moving your hands slowly.

After a couple of minutes, you feel 10k’s body tense up. “Wait,” he mumbles. “I don’t want to ruin this by…. Ya know… too soon.”

“We don't have to-”

10k smiled at you before cutting you off with a kiss. “I want to. I’ve just never done it before.”

Knowing you’ve got hours until sunrise, you and 10k spent the next few hours exploring each other’s bodies. Spending the night with 10K made you feel normal. It was what you imagined a normal relationship was like, instead of one person always needing to stay awake to watch for any signs of danger.

10k finally lines himself up with you, “ready?”

You nod, letting him know you're ready. At first, his movements are clumsy, but he soon finds a steady rhythm and his pace quickens. You let out a moan when 10k reaches his hand between your bodies, touching your small bundle of nerves. Seeing how much you like it, 10k repeats this action before you finally reach your climax.

You stifle your moans by kissing 10k roughly moaning into his mouth, causing him to reach his own climax.

10k presses his sweaty forehead against yours as he catches his breath. “You okay?”

“Better than okay,” you giggle.

10k presses a kiss to your cheek before moving. A few moments later, he lays down beside you again and wraps his arms around you, saying, “We should try and get some sleep.”

—

You and 10k reached the building you were in previously just as the rest of your group walked out of it. Warren smiles at you widely and says, “Good, I was just about to send out that search party.” When you tie your hair up, her gaze lingers on you for a longer period of time than usual, asking, “Did you find anything useful?”

“Just a few blankets,” you say, feeling the sides of your ears starting to heat up.

You stand confused when Doc suppresses a laugh as he walks by you, while Warren gives you a strange look. You turn to face Addy, “Did I miss something?”

She taps her finger against your bruised neck, “You are covered in hickeys.”

Mortified, you quickly let your hair down. Your eyes met 10k's, and his cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.

“You better have used those condoms I gave you,” Addy says quietly. She gives you a serious look when you don’t answer right away, “I’m serious, Astra, you can’t risk not being safe in an apocalypse.”

“Yes, we were safe,” you whisper. “Now please drop it.”

Addy smiles and wraps her arm around your shoulder, “Good.”

—

While the rest of your group walked ahead, you slowed your pace so that you were beside Vasquez. You’d noticed he’d seemed more vacant than usual and wanted to comfort him somehow, although with Vasquez it was tricky. The balance between being helpful and pissing him off was thin.

"So you're not going to ask what’s bothering me?"

“No,” you say, shaking your head. “I hung back because I’m sick of listening to one cry baby. I don’t need to hear another.”

Vasquez let out a rare chuckle. “I never imagined the saviour of the world would moan so much.”

You roll your eyes, “Tell me about it.”

A few moments passed before Vasquez spoke again. “You never said where you were when the apocalypse started.”

You told him the same story you’d shared with 10k previously. “What about you? Where were you?”

“With my wife and daughter… I was at their funeral. I had to show them mercy.”

You felt a lump form at the back of your throat. Although everyone had lost loved ones, Vasquez had been through a lot before the apocalypse had even started, which explained why he was so cold when you first met.

—

“Are we there yet?”

“You’ve been asking that for the past 3000 miles,” Warren sighs.

“Yeah, I know,” Murphy continues. “But this time I really mean it. Seriously, shouldn’t we be there by now?”

“It should be on the other side of these trees,” Addy adds.

When you step out of the forest onto a main road, you are taken aback by how fresh the sea air is.

“Damn it’s the Pacific Ocean,” Doc says, stepping forward to get a better look.

The scenery was beautiful. It was the first place you’d seen in a long time that was tainted with death. You turn your head in either direction to look for a lab or hospital type building, but all you see is a small restaurant. “This can’t be right.”

Addy looks down at her GPS, “According to this, it’s right.”

“This isn’t what I was expecting.”

“Maybe it’s just another front for an ungrounded lab,” 10k suggests.

Murphy rambles on, “or maybe it’s just another greasy diner! Another cosmic joke at my expense!”

Warren ignores him and says that the building still needs to be checked out. “I don’t want us all to go walking into some kind of trap. So me and Vasquez will go in light and check it out. The rest of you guys stay here with Murphy and get him into this.”

Warren tosses you a bag with a change of clothes in it.

Murphy's eyes move from the bag in your arms to Warren, “oh hell no.”

“Oh hell yes. I don’t want anybody to recognise you. There are probably some bounty hunters lurking around that heard one of those broadcasts. We did not get you this far to lose you to neo-nazi-numbskulls.”

Murphy huffed, “Yes, dear. Anything you say, dear.”

“Thank you,” Warren says sarcastically before looking at the rest of the group. “If we’re not out in ten minutes…”

“We’ll come bursting in after you,” Addy says.

“No, you need to protect the package. Contact Citizen Z for instructions.”

Murphy starts to get changed while the rest of you watch in silence as Warren and Vasquez make their way inside the restaurant.

I have a headcanon where the people outside the demon clan absolutely have no idea what Meliodas the destroyer looks like since Mel kills anyone who sees him. So the only people who know what the destroyer looks like are the archangels, Eli, gloxinia, and drole. Since he looks like a child, a lot of people underestimate him and doesn't take him seriously until they saw his powers.

When he join stigma they look at him and thought 'his a child'. The archangels try hard to convince this child is THE DESTROYER but the people just dismissed it and just say "his a kid. How can he be the destroyer?"

Which made the archangels rip their hair is frustration

Imagine this:

"I'll be your opponent from now on"

Ludociel look at the boy who arrived in the scene with an incredulous face "You're just a kid!" he yelled. The kid only looked at him with bored eyes as he responded with no emotions in his tone "...I'm not child"

"Yeah yeah, whatever you say" Ludociel rolled his eyes "To think the demon race send a child to defeat me is foolish. There dumber than I thought"

The kid only sighed and muttered bitterly "Why does this always happen to me...?"

"Since you're a child I'll go easy on you." The kid frowned "It's your lucky day" Ludociel smirked as he held up his hand summoning his light.

The kid only tilted his head and he sigh tiredly as he took his large sword in front of him. Not saying a word he punched him in the blink of an eye before Ludociel could make his first move. Which caused Ludociel to crush one of the structures in the temple.

"W-what?"

"I think it a bad idea to go easy on me" Ludociel saw the kid silhouette in the smoke walking towards him. "Give me all you got" The kid smirked deviously glaring at the archangel

Ludociel got his ass beat pretty bad that day XD

I can imagine Meliodas thinking about letting people live, so people will stop assuming he's just some child, but then again, it did give him an advantage, so he ended up never doing it.

and when he joined Stigma, I can totally see him going "No, I'm not the destroyer" in Ludos face, just to fuck with him XDDD

[acourtofthought]

Someone on Twitter said "Your ship inherently sucks when you have to mischaracterize both characters for it to work" and I couldn't agree more.

It's all fun to headcanon that Elain is a spy, dark etc. But to say It's canon and will happen... 💀

Reading the books, I never felt like Elain could become dark in some ways. Elain had changed since acomaf and she's become quiter, but to me it seems like it's because of where she currently is and with who she's living with. People around her constantly underestimate her and everyone talks to her like she's fragile or a kid. No one in the IC talks to her like they talk to Feyre, or Nesta. Cassian mentioned that he doesn't hang around with Elain, Feyre also thought she doesn't hang out with her like she does with Mor and Amren and she wouldn't go to her to talk about her problems. Rhys may be right, but he's also just assuming "Elain is Elain". Azriel, her suppose love of her life, didn't really talk or hang out with her in more than 2 years. He himself said that she doesn't know anything about him and what he does. I don't even have to talk about Nesta and how she coddles her a lot but the worst of all is that even when Elain herself had stabbed the King of Hybern, tried to help a lot during the war, stood up for herself to Nesta infront of everyone, insisted on going to the court of nightmares when she didn't have to etc. The IC still won't see her as more than a pretty face. Look at how quickly they dropped Elain as soon as Nesta declared she will do the scrying, even though she told them to come get her when they wish to begin. There was no scene or any mentionings of at least one of them, at least the love of her life, telling her that Nesta will do the Job, apologize and invite her to watch. Elain wasn't there they did the scyring thing. Elain wasn't there in the crossover (Mor was not there either but it's most likely because she's still in that continent). They never include her in anything, but they much rather include Nesta. I thought Elain was a part of the IC? It sure as hell doesn't look like it. We have no insights on Elain's friendship with N&C either.

So excuse me if I don't believe that Elain will stay in that rotten court forever when all they let her do is stay pretty, plant flowers and bake bread. They might start seeing more in her and accept her just like they did with Nesta, but Nesta doesn't stay with the IC like she stays with her own found family.

Elain tries way too hard and so I seriously hate the theory that "she will proof to them" "she'll show them" becaus why should she? Why can't they accept her as who she is, why should she be the one to change to be a part of the court? To change so her and Azriel compliment each other? Nesta didn't change or proof anything to the IC either, Feyre went from SC to NC because she thrives in the dark, even though she tried so hard to fit in the SC.. it should be the same for Elain. She shouldn't lift a sword/dagger, throw her comfortability out the window and wear dark dresses/suits and say some badass/ dark stuff when that is not who she is.

If Elain needs to become dark and Azriel needs to become lighter like the sun then that ship ain't working. We have Elucien were Elain can stay as who she is and Lucien can stay the bright sun that he is. We have the BOE where neither Vassa nor Jurian know anything about Elain and both of them seem to be type to not coodle anyone. Lucien also does not know much about her since they barely talk and he barely visits. I think the BOE is a good fresh start for Elain.

Allllllll the things you said!

Elain is in the NC basically serving Rhys and Feyre. Not that they force it upon her of course but she cooks for them, bakes for them, and takes care of their garden. They all like her but no one actively seeks her out as their main person. She's pleasant and not a bother and helpful when it comes to housework but she's not made part of their important business meetings and they always prefer someone else to handle the "dangerous stuff". She's not turned away but she's also not the person they would ever go to first. That's just plain depressing if you're Elain and exactly why Elucien's can't wait for her to go find her place elsewhere in Prythian. She can be the "last resort" in the NC or the "go to" person somewhere else.

If she were to stay in the NC, she would have to change who she is. She would need to become darker, enjoy taking part in their revenge schemes, be willing to hear about who they torture. Just because Elain is there and surrounded by all that stuff now doesn't mean she's truly fine with it. Cassian pretty much tells us she's not. The fact that she didn't want to wear Illyrian leathers or take a weapon in the first place (then immediately gave it back) tells us she's not. She loves her sisters so of course she's going to be accepting of them and their lives but that doesn't mean it's really what she wants for herself. She's testing out a life in the NC because that's where she ended up by default but that doesn't mean she'll decide it's really where she wants to stay after we get her book.

And no that doesn't mean Elain can't do what needs done, just as Rhys and Amren said, but there are many ways of accomplishing that and the way the IC does things is different than the way a lot of other courts do things.

E/riels try to make Az way less dark than he is. You know, SJM could have made Rhys absolutely perfect after he and Feyre got together but he can still act like an asshole to others at times. He's still a bit sneaky with making plans and not telling the others because he doesn't want anyone else to worry. He's still morally gray regardless of finding his Mate and he still struggles with forgiveness. So why exactly do people think Az is going to be a different character by the end of things? Of course he'll overcome his feelings of worthlessness and probably make progress with how he views the Illyrians but he's not suddenly going to be a big old softie outside of his relationship. Just like Rhys still has rage, Az isn't going to lose his rage. He's even darker than Rhys and I doubt SJM wants to give him a personality transplant just so he's a better match for Elain, that's not her style. It doesn't matter that he's "soft and gentle" with Elain because he's still someone different away from her and that's never going to be a match for who she is (whereas Lucien was already well matched with who Elain is even before they had met).

Really, Cassian would have wanted Nesta even as she was at the start of SF. Even at her worst, he would have wanted her. The same can be said of Rhys and Feyre. Even when they saw the darkest parts of one another they still fell in love. The fact that Az already hides who he is from Elain is all the proof we need to know that they will never end up in anything lasting and SJM has said time and again she doesn't want to change who a character is in order to be with someone else.

Edit: forgot to add this but I love the part where you mentioned you dislike the narrative that Elain needs to "show them all". Not only do I agree that she doesn't have to become someone drastically different but also because that makes it sound like she's developed hatred towards them and wants to stick it to them. Elain's arc can be for Elain and Elain alone. Her motivation doesn't need to be proving that her sister's were wrong about her because that just breeds additional animosity between them and I think we've had enough of that.
