how do you think the spn boys ( Sam, Dean, Cas) would separately react to a reader who needs reading glasses. like it's boring long ass research time and reader just pulls out their glasses and the boys are like '??? when was this'. I just think it would be very cute 😭🫶
a/n: OMG YES!! i love this request sm <3 though personally i dont have reading glasses, i tried to make this accurate, i hope this is good T.T i hope you enjoy!!
pairing: Sam, Dean, Cas (seperately) x gn!reader
Dean Winchester
it was just another ghost case, a vengefull spirit that's pissed off, so ofcourse, you had to figure out who this ghost was, when they died and where the remains were burried.
you were in a small town, the ghost was killing people with what they feared, so far, there were three victims, one was a woman who was scared of heights, she got pushed off a building. the second was a man who was scared of tight spaces, he got suffocated in a closet, and lastly there was a young girl that was scared of deep water, and she drowned in the deep side of a pool, all over the span of a month.
Sam offered to go get you three some proper lunch from the local store, so you and Dean have to do most of the research, or atleast make a start on it.
Dean is making himself comfortable on one of the two motel beds, with Sam's laptop for research.
you sit down next to him, with a book on vengefull spirits, because you mentioned something about how this spirit could be a different kind than usual.
Dean glances at you for a second, a small smile on his lips, but quickly, his expression changes to one of absolute surprise as you whip out a pair of glasses and put it on, opening your book, though in the corner of your eye you can see him looking at you.
"what?" you raise an eyebrow.
"you have reading glasses?" Dean asks in a surprised tone.
"yeah, obviously" you glance at him.
"got a problem with that?" "what? no, no ofcourse not" he replies, though he has a teasing smile on his face, which makes you roll your eyes. yeah, he was so gonna use this against you for teasing.
Sam Winchester
its been over an hour since Dean said he was gonna go and check out the scene once more with Cas, and you and Sam are still sitting there in a motel room.
Sam has been researching for the past 45 minutes, on his laptop. you two are quiet, save for the occasional typing from Sam.
you made yourself a cup of tea, before sitting down at the small table in the room, pulling a book. you also pull out your reading glasses, putting them on and adjusting them slightly before flipping your book open.
Sam, being so engrossed on his laptop, doesn't notice for about 20 minutes, untill he looks up to ask if you've found anything, but the words die on his tongue as he looks at you, focused and reading... with glasses? since when?
"uh... did you find anything yet?" he ask with slight hesitation. he doesn't want to mention the sudden glasses, because what if you take offense? or get embarrassed? he doesn't want that, the least he wants is feel like an absolute idiot.
"no" you respond with a sigh, putting your book down and sliding off your glasses to be ontop of your head, grabbing your now room temperature tea, though you know Sam, and you can see in his eyes that he's confused about the glasses.
"i've had them for years, though they make researching on a laptop even shittier, and usually i borrow yours for research, so i don't put them on. besides, they don't do much for anything else, and i usually inspect the items we find at a scene, so, don't feel bad you didn't notice them before" you explain, smiling a little to yourself when he lets out a silent, relieved sigh.
"okay, okay, so i'm not a terrible boyfriend for not knowing you had reading glasses, good to know" he says with a slight laugh at the end of his sentence.
"you look cute in them, they suit you"
Castiel
Dean and Sam left to get dinner, leaving you in the motel room alone to research some more, because why not.
you were peacefully reading some newspapers, checking for any details you might've missed. the glasses you were wearing sliding down every once in a while, so you adjust them to sit back up on your nose properly.
you suddenly hear the sound of wings fluttering, and low and behold, Cas is standing across from you, though instead of the usual greeting, you're met with silence as you two look at eachother, the angel tilting his head to the side as he usually does when he's curious about something.
"....hello [name]..." he finally says, his eyebrows furrowing subtly.
"i didn't know you needed reading glasses." he mentions rather bluntly, making you smile.
"yeah, i know. you haven't been around much lately during research" you see him furrow his brows even more.
"i... think i should've known." he mumbles.
"isn't it normal for someone to know those things about their partner?" he asks you.
"yeah, but its not a big deal if you simply haven't noticed, its just a pair of glasses i barely use, its nothing to feel bad about" you say reassuringly.

Kiss me Plenty || c.b. x reader
summary: you play the “I can’t stop kissing you,” prank on colby.
tags/cw: implied smut, kisses (lots of ‘em), tooth-rotting sweet fluff, established relationship, youtuber(s) relationship.
Tumblr media
a/n: there isn’t much for me to say except that I have a very strong yearn for colby to be kissed 24/7. if that man isn’t being kissed at every second of the day like he deserves, then the world is a cruel joke of a place.
and a huge thank you to everyone who enjoyed my last work, you guys are so sweet T.T happy holidays!
- - -
You have the camera set up first thing in the morning. It’s hidden out of visible-sight and is focused on Colby’s usual spot; his desk, where he normally films intros to videos amongst other tasks in respect to his shared channel with Sam.
The plot of your video to be filmed today is explained to your audience. All while a grin is spread on your lips. “Today’s goal is to annoy the shit out of Colby by kissing the hell out of him. I don’t know how he’ll react considering he’s hyper-affectionate as it is… but its also normally something he does rather than me initiating it. So maybe he’ll suspect something right off the bat? Who knows!”
By the time Colby has migrated from your shared bed to his desk, you’re just outside the door, anxiously prepared for whatever may come of the situation. Without much of an extravagant entrance, you move toward where he is and stand behind him. His eyes are glued to the screen and you pretend to seem intrigued by whatever it is he’s looking at.
A yawn escapes his mouth as he reaches an arm behind himself, subconsciously searching for any part of you to grasp onto and reel in. “Good morning, baby.” He rasps, last night’s rest still grappling at his body.
“Morning,” you reply, allowing him to pull you closer. You take this as an advantage to wrap your arms around his shoulders from where you now stand beside him. “What are you working on today?”
Colby’s gaze is still caught on the screen when his own arm is snaked around your waist. His eyes flicker from one end to another, clearly focused on whatever he’s reading. “Just emails right now. I have a bit of review and editing tasks to get done on the apparel website too..”
“Ah, I see.” You sigh. Your eyes flash a mischievous glint toward the camera before you begin leaning into his space to plant a soft peck to his cheek. “Do you need anything? Water? Snacks?”
Still enraptured by work, he acknowledges your question half-heartedly. “No, love. Thank you though.”
You feign a frown at his response and begin swaying his chair left to right when the hold on your waist is replaced by the computer’s mouse. He scrolls through several pages, reading what he can manage to as you continue rocking his chair.
“What time do you think you’ll be done?” You question innocently, though you both are aware that his work is capable of enveloping the entirety of his day. He shrugs, too focused to respond. You take this as an opportunity to leave a kiss on the crown of his head, moving behind his chair to loosely circle your arms around his neck. “I think I’m gonna finish my Christmas shopping while you’re still here.”
He hums and it’s evident that he isn’t regarding your presence to the full extent that it’s normally at. You huff and lean over his shoulder to litter butterfly-light kisses along the side of his neck. He unconsciously cranes his neck, providing you with more access to the skin.
“Shouldn’t you come and eat breakfast first? You haven’t eaten anything.” You ponder aloud, and this time, he shakes his head.
“I’m fine, babe.“ he mutters, eyes squinting in the analysis of his emails. Your tongue comes out to swipe at your lips, wetting them before leaning further into his space and kissing him straight on the mouth. At this, he cocks his head to the side, granting you access for more.
You continue to press into him, feeling accomplished when you realize that now he’s fully focused on you. The kiss is languid and feels good enough to praise, but before you can fully enjoy it, Colby is pulling away with a pitiful smile. You don’t even have to question him because he’s apologizing in an instant.
“I’m sorry, petal. I really have to get these things done. I promise as soon as I get this out of the way, I’m all yours.” He says and you can’t help but feel a tug at your heart. God, he really is the cutest. With the way his eyes glimmer at you, you’re confident with the idea that this man could un-alive your childhood pet and get away with it by just looking at you with those damned ocean eyes.
“Just a minute more?” shaking off the thought of ending the video early out of awe for your boyfriend, you continue your antics. You plead instead, batting your lashes tauntingly while returning to his side.
He blinks owlishly at you and ultimately accepts, pulling you into his lap by the hips and allowing you to straddle him comfortably. You grin, wasting no time and diving straight in for a passionate kiss. His hands snake around you to land on your ass, giving a gentle squeeze to which you groan into his lips for.
For a second, you’re convinced that this moment would last for an eternity with the pace that he’s taking. Theres not a doubt that he’d absolutely waste an entire day just to kiss you, and in this case you want this to be one of those days. His kiss is smooth, gentle, yet fierce and meaningful. Your hands move on their own accord; one pressing into the broad of his chest and the other entangling into his hair.
There’s a moan serenading your ears after a few rough tugs to the strands on his head. However, before you know it, he’s giving you one last playful tug to your lip and placing a good space between the two of you. While you’re grateful for this moment to breathe, you also fall clueless as to why the hell he stopped.. until, of course, you remember that you’re filming a video, and he’s working. Hello!
“Do you know how distracting you can be?” Colby chuckles, and you take a few seconds to take in his appearance; hair tussled, eyes dark and dilated, lips swollen with a few teeth indentations caused due to your own accord. You almost want to spend the rest of the video admiring your work, but conclude that the show must go on.
“What ever do you mean, coleslaw?” You quip, pushing against his hands from where they’ve been placed on your shoulders to distance you from him.
He immediately motions for you to get off of him, his hands already shoving at your chest. “Coleslaw? You’re done. Get off of me.”
You laugh and reluctantly remove yourself from his lap only to make an attempt at lifting him up with you. As if knowing exactly what you’re about to do, he drops his weight into his chair. You grunt, tugging on his arms with all your might. He doesn’t budge.
“Baby,” you whine, and add a childish stomp for emphasis. “Can’t you just take today off to spend time with me? Please?”
He falls limp at your words, tossing his head back against the chair’s headrest and huffs in thought. “We already hung out yesterday. The entire day! What do you want to do anyway?”
Pouting, you take advantage of his loose posture to throne his lap once more. Again, circling his neck with your arms and trying to pull him impossibly closer. Though, he does his best to keep a stoic expression and an emotional stiffness to prevent persuasion.
“I miss you,” the words seemingly fall on deaf ears as he remains unfazed, eyes wandering around the room; in other words, anywhere but you. “..just wanted to kiss you today.. but i guess you don’t want my kisses. guess I’ll just find someone else who does—“
His sigh mimics one of defeat. His hold on your tightens in protectiveness, as if afraid you may be taken from him. You begin to feel that bubble of mischief rising to your cheeks, tugging your lips into a smile. Yes! It’s working!
“One more kiss, and i seriously have to get back to work, okay?” He gambles, and suddenly your smile is fading into a frown. He directs his stare back to you, a small quirk at the corner of his mouth. “What, isn’t that what you want? Take it or leave it, baby.”
You bare your teeth in grimace, eyes twinkling with competitiveness before you dive in. Planting your lips on his, you nip and lap at the opening he gives you. Without much hesitance, he’s reciprocating in eagerness. Your tongues dance in the heat of the moment, teeth clashing with force. It’s clear how much you two want each other. And it’s even more evident just how far you’re willing to go for it.
“God, what’s gotten into you?” He manages to slur through the daze you’ve entrapped him in. The intimacy in the kiss exceeds even deeper when you apply pressure against his crotch, gaining a desperate reaction in return. He whimpers against your lips, bringing you impossibly closer to his form as he ruts against you.
“just.. really.. want.. you.” Your voice tapers off into a moan with each breath you take in between. And that’s when you realize. Oh shit. he’s hard.
A probing feeling at your clothed entrance is all it takes for you to pull back and freeze, hands instantly darting for the camera from where it was hidden just a few minutes ago. You focus the rest of the footage toward you, regarding your boyfriend’s lustful daze as a sign to come clean. Placing one hand on his cheek while the other holds the camera, you give a breathy and worried giggle.
“Are you—“ you start, motioning toward the evident tent in his sweats. His eyes waver from your face for a mere second to assess the situation before returning to you. “Colby?”
“Is this is a prank?” He mumbles, cocking his head toward the camera in your hand. You nod, curtaining your smile by placing a palm over your mouth. “Oh,”
“Colby, It’s a prank. I didn’t expect it to go this far!” You admit, and suddenly the giddiness you had been shielding from escaping you throughout the video is released. You laugh in embarrassment. “Oh my gosh. Guys, if you saw anything…. No you didn’t. Haha! But seriously, my poor baby suffered today so if you enjoyed the video, be sure to like and subscribe. Until next time, bye!”
The moment the video comes to an end, Colby is cursing you up and down for the scheme you had hidden from him. However, his scolding shortly concludes with a soft, and admittedly disappointing, “—had me all excited..”
“Oh my poor baby,” you coo, both of you now free from an audience’s presence via camera. Holding his face in your hands, you apply pressure to his cheeks, forcing his lips to pucker when you go in for a gentle kiss. “‘M sorry. The fans really wanted to see what you’d do.”
“Well now they know, so can we please not do that again. you’re very irresistible and convincing you know that?”
You press a gentle peck to his cheek and huff. “Yeah I’ve heard it a few times from my boyfriend.”
“Wow. I feel bad for your boyfriend.” Colby jokes playfully.
“Do you? Hm. Guess I should be a little nicer to him.”
“Maybe.” He pouts his lips toward you, proceeding to lift you from where the two of you sit on his office chair. Your legs wrap around his middle as he travels toward your shared bed. “I think your boyfriend deserves it.”
“I think so too,” you smile. Continuing from where you had left off, you both spend the rest of the morning doing exactly as you begged for; spending the day together. And making out, of course. And maybe a little more than that.

I just spent most of the day reading the trickery au (for the first time and lemme say? I'm very much in love (with the story, the characters, your *writing*, everything. Absolutely everything. I love them all so much)) and even though I was reading it all at once, I still got a bit lost with characters XD
I have no idea how you keep track of them all (*how* is your spreadsheet organized?? Plzzzzzz!!) I would love a (single time) character reminder thing of 'cabin' 'kids' 'parent if in hermes's cabin' because references are being made and I dont...know where exactly the info came from, so I can't look it up to check T.T (love all the minor god(desse)s you've tied in!)
Otherwise - curious about a couple things
1. Is Luke no longer getting nightmares? Thalia? (Didn't she get one or was it just anxiety? I thought I read she heard a whispering too at one point)
2. Was the masterbolt not stolen in this one? Bc I dont think that was actually addressed (the healm of darkness yes, but with the animosity between the underworld and Olympus, would hades have ever told them? Or I guess maybe he accused them and they picked it up from there?)
3. Cory? Did he ever get out of the gas station? (Or are we not meant to find out yet)
I love seeing how Percy's loyalty is tied to so many more people (especially Luke) and how thats changing so many things (he's a menace and I love him). I love how Luke is still angry, but how he's taking lessons from Sally in using that to get.things.done. (love that for him, its amazing, and I love him) (.....and pretty much all the characters. I love the new characters you've introduced us to (love that the number of girls has gone up!) And how they feel so *real*. They're not just....names to fill in space. They take up space as people and its amazing)
Anyways, this is getting very long so.....
XD
Okay one at a time:
Getting lost with the characters is super normal, haha. I tend to bring them up at random. That being said, I do post the chart when people ask, and update it about once a chronological year. The blacked out stuff is things you're not allowed to see yet. Ignore that. That being said, it is ONLY for the current cabin 11 kids, so any non-Hermes kids are in the wind. Metaphorically. Maybe also canonically. Luke is still shirtless.
IF you're looking for the research I use on the individual gods, though, I joyfully exploit theoi.com! Theoi dot com, for all your greek theological needs! (Nonsponsored)
Any dreams and or nightmares are on a plot basis! If you haven't seen any as of late, there haven't been any significant dreams. They are traumatized though. They probably have trauma dreams.
Yeah, weird how no one's mentioned the Master Bolt! Wonder what's up with that. 👀
All Cory things shall be revealed in time...probably. No, I have a plan. But. You know. Everything in its season.
Yeah, Luke's go-get-'em initiative with Sally's prioritization is truly a thing to behold. There are more girls because camp girls are scary, and I think no one on earth has ever done the feral nature of a girl released into the wilderness true justice. I was a little undiagnosed kid waiting for the world to make sense when a girl scout taught me how to break a man's arm. I hope she lives forever. That many kids? With minor superpowers? And ADHD? In a camp setting?? Chiron has to be the only reason this camp has not exploded in the last three hundred years.
Yeah, there are a lot of goddess moms, huh? I wonder if there should be more dads...but there aren't as many cool ones... Eros is cool but to be fair I decided he and his wife and Miranda's mom were all amicable in like the first ten minutes.
Thank you for writing in! Send as much as you want; no one's ever been angry for a lengthy write-in, haha. I love enthusiasm 😊

Hey might have accidently sent an ask prematurely ahem not at all embarrassing but you already know I'm writing this at an extremely late time welp this was always bound to happen (T.T) As I was saying... I bow at your brilliance, honestly. You did so well with yet another chapter of what I hope is a never-ending fic at this point because these chapters drops hype me up more than you could know.
HE'S THEIR SANNIE IM GOING TO BURST HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO MY POOR HEART. Also, I can't blame the reader for simping it's the san effect, really. And woo, the precious boy was doing so well. I just got so emo over it FOR NO REASON. well, the reason was because san was getting emo about it, and AS AN EMPATH- *gun shot noises*
I digress, weird sense of humour humor aside, I truly truly can't express how this chapter changed smth in my brain chemistry. I also love whenever we get mentions of reader having a ~body~ a very well loved one too!!
I'm wondering how much the fic changed from the original plan since you keep adding chapters. Like, was this play session already what you envisioned when you started your plan to write this? It's been truly so much fun to watch it evolve. Do the characters in your head influence the chapters, or do you just get inspiration and feel like it would fit them?? Also, do you ever feel tempted to write from woosan's pov?? Idk I'd like a tour of their minds too. I swear I can just keep pelting you with questions like this till my own fingers wear down from typing. I hope your pillow is always cool on both sides and for you to have a lovely day/night/week/month/LIFE. you deserve it!! 💚💚💚💚
Tumblr media
lol dw abt the double ask! (≧◡≦) ♡ and sorry abt the tears and the extra laundry asdjkdaskjadsjk i am frantically handing you tissues (sorry i just hate doing laundry so much asdkjdaskj you’re on your own for that one 🙏)
NO BUT THE SAN SIMP EFFECT IS SO REAL 〒▽〒
Reader: hmm am i feeling a lil bratty today maybe? (¬‿¬ ) San:
Tumblr media
Reader: …nevermind 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
(tho tbf there are ALSO plenty of San pics that make me want to misbehave real bad lol. the man’s got the range ♨_♨)
Woo was absolute best boi!!! listen i gotchu i get emo abt him too he just takes it all like a fucking champ and he trusts San SO much („ಡωಡ„)
omg putting the answers to your questions under a cut bc it got kinda long oop <_< tysm for giving me a ramble excuse!!! (ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
the basic scenario of reader and Wooyoung being tied up together is pretty similar to what i originally planned; but the *mood* of the scene is very different
when i first outlined the story, there was no non-sexual bondage; instead i had a vague idea abt Wooyoung still feeling guilty abt overstepping, and that he wanted to work out that guilt through bdsm.
so i had thoughts abt focusing the scene on San paying a lot of attention to reader while Wooyoung gets completely ignored as punishment — and he wouldn’t have permission to cum until she decided he deserved to uwu
but smth abt it all didn’t sit right w/ me from early on, and while writing the Woo/reader lunchdate i realised that she would 100% be uncomfortable w/ being used to punish Woo in *this* specific scenario since she has her own guilt abt that! (also; i felt like this’d be at a stage of their relationship that you gotta talk through some stuff, not fuck through it lol) so i pivoted, added the non-sexual bondage, and it turned into this!
(but if you feel robbed of some spicy moments now; no worries! Woo needing reader’s permission to cum & San ignoring Woo while he fucks the reader have been incorporated in the plans for different chapters (。•̀ᴗ-)✧)
whether the characters influence the chapters; yes to some extent!
i really am a plantser at heart; i need to know where a fic is going & i need a few solid anchor points between beginning and end; but i also really need empty space to fill up details as i go along, which is usually influenced by what feels ‘right’ for the characters ♡
like; i knew from day 1 that Woo was going to break the no kissing rule, and i knew it would lead to a ‘conflict’ that’d end up strengthening their relationship, but i figured out the exact details along the way (again the their lunchdate did a lot of heavy lifting! writing that scene solidified SO MUCH for me abt Woo & reader’s deal)
now, abt Woosan pov…
the next chapter actually opens w/ San! (but um… you might not thank me for that >_>) i want to do a Woo pov somewhere too, which *might* also happen in the next chapter, but i’m still kindof feeling out what the best spot is ^^
(also i have like half a prequel drabble written down abt the first time Woo brought San flowers home from work (◕‿◕✿) i’m obv focused on the main story for now, but i’d love to finish that after the fic itself is done ^^)
ahhhhhhhhhhh sincerely thankyousomuch for all the amazingly sweet words and for letting me ramble!!! it’s fun to talk abt the ‘behind the scenes’ so to speak hehe („• ֊ •„)

The Warp Effect Live Blogging
I've been obsessed with the idea of this show since I watched the freaking mock trailer like sooo long years ago (late 2021? early 2022? like 2 years ago bruh) and was so glad that people seemed to really like the actual show when it released, can't believe I'm finally watching it. I attempted to watch this once before but it was while I was taking a break at university and uh this is not a show I can watch in public, so I had to stop just a few minutes in and now I'm back like a year later.
Anyway, I better love it. I'm gonna lose my shit if it turns out like Be My Favourite for me (I love the mock trailer -> people love the show -> I finally watch the show and find it... fine).
Ep 1 (Apr 20)
Why am I so nervous, I almost don't wanna start it. see this is why I have so many highly praised show or shows I'm hoping to love like ITSAY and 3WBF still on my To Watch list
1-1
ah, the promise/purity ring of doom
oh he's a high school KID pls
ah, I'm so excited seeing this intro with the whole cast, I'm anticipating a lot of their roles
Is the one who found the bra his grandpa?

I like their uniforms
Jan, hiiii <3 <3 <3 (name: Nim)
his face appeared on the news of the massage parlour burning ?!
hehe Nim and Jan are already dating
I'm so excited seeing Gigie and Fah and everybody ahh, it's actually been so long
Also I wish I'd watched TWE before I learned about how Fah's husband is a POS because now I'm like ah... by extension she is also a POS because you're literally marrying that man
I've been like damn why am I so excited to see all these people? I see them act all the time except no I don't because apparently I haven't watched a GMMTV show since Be My Favourite last year (other than OffGun 20 minute Love From Outta Space but that only has them). I just see some of them online, esp like FourthGemini and Phuwin. No wonder I'm like hiii~ to everybody I see pop up.
not the sex situation roleplay in front of the class. good on consent tho
i'm gonna have to relearn everybody's names later fr
Army the homophobic homosexual (actually does he like girls too fr? idk)
hah, Mark's character getting schooled for asking who tops and bottoms
not Army getting so into it T.T closeted kid... and then punching Alex oh boy
is Alex not underage or is that not like a concern bruh like even the teacher is so casual about it
free period product spiel
1-2
New and Fah (Alex and Jean) are so cute man. I'm so nervous that he... sexually assaulted her? or something nonconsensual?? like I don't remember what the issue was but he did something bad I think? it makes me so nervous because they wouldn't fucking made the main character in our sex-positive show a fucking assaulter right?
uh what does the grandfather know?
is this camera magic
I'm hungry, time for lunch, hope nothing super raunchy or gross happens while I'm eating
ah kiss
aw slap (foreshadowing for the future IMO *wink*)
1-3
hah the dildo scene
Fah you are so hot and so cool (or so I thought) why are you with your husband T.T
idk why I'm so happy seeing Alex and Jean getting it on like it's fun and it's exciting
Fah is so hot goddamn
1-4
ohhh Alex accidentally kind of saw Army with some guy (Joke?). Are both the bullies gay and hooking up? well he didn't recognize shit cuz he's drunk off his ass but yknow
he's no longer a virgin
dang, miss girl went straight into a pelvic exam. usually people like "wake up" in a different time or go from one room to another or smth lol
I have watched a couple time travel things but they've usually been to the past/deaged to teenagehood whereas this one is to the future.
Very fun 1st ep, interesting and fun and intriguing and also heart-felt.
Kinda funny that in the GMMTV subreddit on-air, people have mentioned how American it feelts (apparently a lot of the inspo for it is American which makes sense) but I have no clue about that because I haven't much American/western TV lol
Ep 2 (Apr 20)
2-1
Delightful Army who is no longer homophobic
Is this the same hospital as Vice Versa?
pls gooner See-ew
ahh, I was wondering if Ew would indeed no longer be Alex's friend
ahhh his relationship with family is now extremely distant too, I'm so curious about what happened
girl you're like 30 now, it makes sense that your grandfather might have passed away. but i do get that it's sudden and he must be like wtf i just saw him yesterday
oh also they're like Christian. the promise ring thing is in a church and there are crosses and stuff in their house too
I think I remember something about him having to fix his relationships or people he wronged or something and I guess these photos give a hint as to what?
Tumblr media
2-2
0:49 Ew (aka Sing who also plays Todd in Not Me) says "Are you challenging me?" but him saying it in Thai reminds me of him saying the same thing/a similar thing to Black as Todd when Black came to kill him
ohh these photos are from the future?
broken promise leading to this mess
heh, Alex really went wild that night at the party ig
Ah, indeed Alex kissed Molly (we saw this in 1-3 I think)
Alex, Kat fuck buddies
2-3
Gigie is so hot
pls the way I burst out laughing at him leaving the bathroom nearly naked
the change from shy/nervous -> eager and excited
also Kat's so funny cuz she gets angry and then is like ^.^ :D like the cat smiling emoji
pls the curse not letting him have sex even in the future
Joong hi, can't wait to see him be tied up in a chair (and whipped?)
"Thank you, master" ahhhh i'm so excited for Liu and Ew and puppyplay
i'm actually not a super big of the dog mask but it's all so cute omg >.< Master feeding her dog strawberries aww and then giving a little flog for being a bad doggie but being nice to him again awww so cuteeeee he's such a cute dog
Tumblr media
2-4
Army is so fun

yay Jean director, her dream
and she's mad at him because he did smth but whattt
Ep 3 (Apr 21)
3-1
pls the way he has no doctor gyno knowledge T.T he's 17
I saw people guessing that Alex and Jean had sex that night -> Jean got pregnant -> Alex left/wanted nothing to do with that/she got an abortion and he gave no support/etc. which I think I would like more than my fears that he did something untoward
Jean and Kat convo ahh pretties and cuties i hope you are friends and don't hate each other later on
3-2
ik Ew is excited but I also want Liu to be more excited and eager and partaking in the sex toy shopping and kink play
aw she's embarrassed esp in public
okay exactly liu being like "i like it but not all the time. do you ever ask me what i actually like?"
ah her running into Jedi and Rose right in front of the store
does Alex even know how to drive
all i can think is Army's hands were probably on his dick or the other guy's dick and he's touching Alex all casually without washing hands
there's no photo of Ice but i guess he'd need to patch things up with his brother anyway
I think this is the first time I'm seeing Phuwin in a romantic role with somebody other than Pond?
Jan with a girl let's fucking go
tragic that this isn't gonna last bc Nim and this girl are cute together
3-3
Ah
I guess the best thing would've been to set up guidelines earlier in the relationship, like puppy play/BDSM is just One aspect of our relationship, not the whole thing. because it's been clear since ep 2 that Ew is more eager to play that way every time they see each other whereas Liu likes it to a lesser degree and also wants to hang out and be romantic outside of that play and also wants to be pampered sometimes rather than always domming him/taking care of him
agh it irritated me that Ew just turned on porn and got off but ig he uses it as a crutch maybe... i'm hoping it's that instead of a lack of care and affection toward Liu smh
I love Gigie's smile her sharp little incisors are extremely attractive
I'm glad Alex cut it off with Kat esp because in last ep it was mentioned that he's kind of being dishonest with her since he's not... exactly who he says he is
3-4
Oh, that's Ice's girlfriend Kim? Jean and her work together?
I loveee Jean's colour-block jacket
a little lesson on doing a pelvic exam for someone with a vagina
ah Alex and Jean in the same room again i'm so excited but nervous
I'm nervous For Jean bruv
you didn't do the cotton thing before inserting the speculum Alex
ah, they fr had sex that night
Ep 4 (Apr 21)
4-1
Army is so funny and endearing. i'd be curious to know his reaction when Alex finally tells him about the time travel
Are we getting Thor's character finally or not yet? anonymous face
oof Bew and Nim's future plans look pretty different
and the pregnant Nim photo is manifesting
bruh obviously Ew dresses up and plays a little dog lmfao
damn they're actually talking about puppy play
girl that's not Thor, that's a baby! I just remembered that I think I knew about this? about Fluke's character accidentally meeting up with an underage guy
pls 2005 liner (in 2022)
i am aware that playing football is an euphemism. is it for masturbation? just being horny?
I found out about Fluke Pusit's new BL which is apparently the fucking Your Dear Daddy that had me icked out from the title agh but like... I like him in this and wanna see him in a BL as a main lead so I might still check it out since the synopsis doesn't seem too bad. It'll still be many months perhaps over a year or two until it comes out though... not even a pilot trailer yet. will they get the budget and talent necessary for the show? Who knows...
4-2
Ah, Joe and Army also had a falling out and aren’t in contact, rip
I think it's Army's baby based on that one tiktok where Army and Nim are talking about the kid having gay and lesbian parents
non-binary Molly!!!!
i can’t quite tell how we’re supposed to feel about Joong’s character Tony tbh
ohh that’s how the Joong tied up in a chair by Sylvie scene comes to be, it’s part of their movie acting.
i watched the first few minutes of this on the train lol
Damn, what's up with Jean :< is it really just bad cramps or something serious?
4-3
pls Ice's friends are losers (or maybe just that specific dude)
oh the moaning while Ice and Kim are having sex threw me off
did Kim even have fun? USELESS
okay she's saying she had fun, though I wish she seemed more into it while they were actually doing the act. Orgasms aren't always necessary but it should still be fun
Kim is so fucking hot bruh
"Let's do it raw" well i'm so glad it was Phuwin playing Ice and not me bc I would've embarrassed myself on that set
ah, Army can still think fondly of his time hooking up with Joe and get off to it lol
Anyway, at least it seemed like Kim was gonna have more fun in round 2 but i want that for her every time they have sex
4-4
Kat and Jean on one screen is always so heart eyes
Army, what are you apologizing forrrr
pouty Army is so cute bruh
pls the argument while Army's jacking Joe off
the handjob that leads to forgiveness
well I'm glad they didn't get caught cuz I was nervous lol
The people I find incredibly attractive in this show are: Jean, Kat, Kim, and Army lmfao
Ep 5 (Apr 21/22)
5-1
Army reminiscing about the high school days when he and Joe hooked up lol
ah, Army has the photo he took of Alex and it shows Alex in the future in a doctor coat
hilarious that Alex is just a good, knowledgable gyno now lmfao
finally Army learns about the time travel
oof, Alex running into Kat and Jean at the club
the way he leaned over Jean freaked me out fr
correct that you can revoke consent at any time etc but maybe also say that if you're gonna bring a random person home from the bar, be clear about expectations before leaving the bar/coming home
5-2
he can't even get off when he masturbates?
Ew's animosity toward Army lol
Mollie lead role!
idkkkk Nim doesn't seem to be want to be pregnant and doesn't seem to like kids, I don't want her to have a baby when she doesn't want one
ouch, Mollie-Nim-Bew meet
the pilot guy is sleazy, Kat run away
5-3
wait we're not doing any more puppy play? :( did Liu really not like it at all?
Aghh we're only doing extremes of puppy play every time y'all meet vs no puppy play ever... what about a happy middle?
Ouchhh the public humiliation and body shaming, this is the hardest storyline in the show to watch for me so far
5-4
yay mollie
ohhh the photo of mollie changed cuz they overcame their problem ig? w alex's help once the photo happened
Kinda surreal to watch Molly be played by Sylvie who is attractive and, despite not being stick thin, also not fat
I barely watched anything on the 22nd and yesterday the 23rd was all about GMMTV 2024 Part 2, so I'm Finally starting the next ep today
Ep 6 (Apr 24)
6-1
Okay I got too nervous waiting to watch what Alex did so I read in the comments that he didn't use a condom because he was so drunk. It's terrible but I feel better knowing what it was that he did before seeing it
eughhh they're so drunk
oh ew that's... horrifying. to have her actually say wait and stop multiple times while he... doesn't
that's actually fucked fr
the look of horror and realizing on Jean's face and then the tear...
why is Alex fucking smiling?! how dare he
aw shucks everybody gonna know and the rumours are getting bigger
not Alex just going with Jedi while leaving Ew behind
Incredible that this guy who traumatized Jean is now just at the top of the school pyramid I actually can't believe my worst fears were real and Alex ignored Jean's multiple attempts to push him off while she says stop
6-2
the Jean and Molly convo is interesting. I understand Jean more because you can't just go around kissing people while in a monogamous relationship just to check if you're into it or not but I understand that Molly's also unsure of what they actually like, especially because it seems like they were probably grappling with being nonbinary back then and haven't yet chosen that term for themselves yet
I think breaking up is the right thing to do in this situation
Kat dropping big hints that she knows Army likes boys lol at least she's breaking up with him easy
Army has armpit hair which is normal but rare in EA/SEA shows it feels like? idols are clean shaven/lasered
Army's so annoying lol conceited but a cutie so I can't even disagree
conflicted because hah gay locker room handy is fun but also... part 1 sex was horrific
oh naur they're gonna get caught?
noooooo Army throws Joe under the bus?!
6-3
nosy ass grandpa
Ice is 13? lmfao. so he's 23 in the future ig
we should kill Alex first not stopping when Jean told him to and now abondoning Ew at Army's suggestion
heh Ew liked the slap
oh In Love by Gamma Skies, I think this was in a Bad Buddy playlist but I couldn't remember it being used in the actual show
Kat and Jean smoking in the balcony aghh I want at least 1 kiss between them plsplspls (but not right now when Jean is just newly traumatized :()
agh Jean labeled as a slut for sleeping with Alex (and dancing on the table in her bra) while Alex becomes the top dog for presumed to sleep with 3 girls (+ kiss Army lol)
6-4
I read the comments first because I know apparently Jean's photos in her bra from that party are gonna be plastered on the wall and aghh... Alex is gonna be useless and treated well while Jean is gonna be called an attention seaker and also suspended ?! and people in the comments were saying people shouldn't say that Alex did nothing wrong, how the fuck are there comments saying he didn't do anything wrong omg??!!
punishment for WHAT?!
Jean isn't quite yelling at Alex for the things she wants to yell at him about so I guess that's why the comments that apparently defended him may have thought she was treating him unfairly but it's like... it's hard to say you might not fucking remember but you didn't use a condom and didn't fucking listen to me while i told you to stop repeatedly you jackass and now they're all ruining my life
this fucking Alex/Jean montage i'm so mad T.T
and Army needs a fucking punch too
Alex is soooo aghhhh why is he literally going to Jean's house (!!!) and saying sorry but also repeatedly being like "Can you forgive me?" like girl wtf how can you expect forgiveness this easily by saying it was your fault a decade later smhh
ahhh horrible. good episode in the sense that it's well-crafted and makes sense but truly what the fuck
I get that Alex was drunk and so ignored Jean while we assume he wouldn't have done that if he wasn't drunk but truly... what the fuck? Being drunk doesn't mean you get a free get out of jail card to violate consent. The show nor the audience seem to use the word rape but that's what it was, right? I don't want them to get back together in the end man...
And also the Army-Joe thing... idk, throwing Joe under the bus...
Also I think I won't look at warp effect tumblr posts anymore... idk, I kinda don't care to read about people's thoughts on it because it's already tiring to watch the show, much less read people's thoughts on it. Might seek out specific gifsets if I really want one though.
Ep 7 (Apr 25)
7-1
lol everybody having fun while Alex can't orgasm
Liu's boss... ew
Rose and Jedi are cute heh
plss not Jedi being one of the men who wants their gf/wife to go open relationship but then is jealous she's is getting more partners and having fun and such
I'm glad we get kissing and sex with with Jedi and Rose because I swear so many times when trans actresses are cast, they either get no romance or very chaste romance with hugs at most
aw shucks, I'm guessing Jedi's dick hurting is gonna lead to the hospital visit in Alex's photo
7-2
oh also, ig I didn't think about the fact that Nim would have to marry whoever she has a kid with?
heh quick decision to have a freaking child
I'm also not sure Nim having a child is even the right decision
New looks soo attractive in the bar scene
I love Alex trying to mend the relationship with Ice
ewwww not Captain asking Kat to be his gf in public with flowers and such. It puts pressure on the one being asked, I hateeee it when people ask such questions in public and then the asker might get angry at being humiliated. I'm glad Kat stood her ground but I'm afraid he's gonna retaliate, esp since he's a pilot where she is a flight attendant
7-3
It makes me so nervous fr when they do anything in public
oh crazy, we're having the not orgasming talk but for a gay couple this time
a little PSA about positions
omg Joe is a side? doesn't like penetration possibly? because he liked the handjobs
Joong's character and Jean are cute man, idk I hope he's not sleazy
ah, Molly and Nim scenes once again
aw man Ew is going to meet the bunny domme
it's cute how excited he is but helloo you're meeting a woman behind our gf's back + camera?!
oh no he's wearing the outfit he gets arrested in
ah cops
you can get arrested for creating porn in thailand?
7-4
Ew begging Liu to stay is still more about himself and how she's the only one who understands him and gave him a chance rather than about her. But the story gets that I think because Liu says that in their relationship she has tried to be what's needed for Ew but Ew hasn't done the same.
ah shit not the captain beating up Kat, that fucker
Ep 8 (Apr 25)
8-1
poor Kat
aww Jean and Kat <3
girl, imagine if you had indeed accepted him, he's a fucking asshole, you'd be in a mess either way
yesss you two should date
I don't even know how to feel at Jean and Alex conversations, like it's not cool or chill dude, just shut upp
In the ep 7 r/gmmtv on-air, somebody mentioned that maybe... Army sleeps with another guy/cheats on Joe (esp if they're not on the same page sexually) and that's why it's a polaroid with the other guy's identity hidden? made me sooo nervous, I don't want that to be true plsss I just thought it'd be because Joe is closeted and so we can't see his face
plsss not Army's rant to Alex about Joe not bottoming
ah, Kim is pregnant and I'm guessing Nim is/will be too. I hope one of them gets an abortion for the storyline here
bruh, Bew was flighty from the jump but also Nim really shouldn't have gotten IVF done so quickly and easily with little though
bruh fuck Bew
8-2
plsss Alex going to Joe to talk about his and Army's sex life is sending me fr
side Joe! and they're fr talking about it!
Ah, Mollie and Nim :(
I really hope Kim ends up having an abortion. She and Ice can make another baby in the future when they're older and more stable and ready
Aw, Ice is sweet but I still don't think they should have a baby when neither is ready
Alex randomly there to help Kat lol
damn, Captain got put in jail, that's good
8-3
I hope Tony's just a nice, regular guy
pls Army being like yep my partner is soo satisfied with my performance to his patient
lol multi-activity full package outercourse
uh... is Kat developing feelings for Alex/I thought she had feelings for a while tbh
oh, Alex talking about Jean in his sleep rip
I hope Jean and Kat don't become enemies, that's my only wish
8-4
I love Joe and Army so bad wtf
Kat and Army's photos now fixed
Ep 9 (Apr 26)
9-1
okay Jedi mentioned always using protection
oof, not them fighting over the HPV
Rose is trans and didn't have bottom surgery so how tf did they have sex so easily in the kitchen that one time lmfao
pls not Ice singing about their child in this club setting
Kim shouldn't be drinking but Ice shouldn't be picking fights with strangers like that and escalating situations either
okay finally abortion mention
Ice let go of your fucking pride for like one second
9-2
hehe Sylvie and Joong scenes
not both Mollie and Jean falling for Tony's charms
okay Alex giving Ice good advice about supporting Kim's decision for an abortion. I wish somebody would also mention that they can just... have a child a couple years down the line
i wonder where we're going with the HPV storyline?
9-3
stop meeting at Joe's workplace I beg
STOP YELLING !!!
why is that man taking a video aghhhh Armyyyy i'm gonna kill you and also that man
ah, Nim and Molliee
ohh Nim's photo went back
not the flight attendant roleplay plss
I'm dying at Rose and Jedi's relationship where they're in an open relationship and flirt with people but never sleep with any of them even though the other one thinks they do lmfao
okay glad Kat didn't just get over Captain's assault and that it still affects her. but she's not portrayed as week for still being affected because it's literally such a big thing
Jedi and Rose are sooooo cute what the hell
not the scent callback
Jedi/Rose cutiesss
9-4
omg Kat and Tony?
Tony is suchhh a flirt that it's fun to see him be taken back by Kat's extremely forward pursuit
so is Tony... supposed to be just a nice, normal guy fr? I hope he is
Rose and Jedi are actually so cute like I'm dead
okay so it's stronger and stronger hinting that Jean was indeed pregnant after that party
oh no, Liu and her fuckass boss creep next ep
I liked how cute Jedi and Rose were but I feel like why introduce the open relationship aspect at all then? Like if they needed to have it, they could've treated it with more nuance and have them actually participate in the open part of their relationship. idk i was like, the lesson isn't that "people in love can't do open relationships" right?
Ep 10 (Apr 26)
10-1
director and main actor dating? and also Tony asking her in public like this too? Captain flashbacks smh
girl, dancing?! omg why is this too much for me, too much public stuff
let's kill Liu's boss
aghhh, they found out about Joe being gay
10-2
Alex barging in and confronting the boss like that in front of everybody. I hate these men's need to publicly "defend" women and confront/fight men without actually asking the women they're defending what they want because this has consequences
had to work really hard to get into the comedy mindset for this sexual harassment storyline because usually... the serious topics are treated serious idk
pussy eating, let's go
oof, Mollie and Nim fight once again
I get Joe so much and it frustrated me that Army doesn't quite understand how much trauma Joe has because of his actions (similar to his bff Alex in that way who just jokes around with Jean as if he didn't fucking rape her)
and what about the puppy play? we doing that still? cuz idk if Ew can do with it?
Ah, Jean and Kat convo about Alex. I'm glad it wasn't messy
10-3
oof, no Kim, you did the right thing
there is no need to feel bad for Ice because he can have a baby couple years down the line if he still wants it after he's more settled
okay he finally mentioned that they can have a kid when they're ready
erotic foot massage, loll yas (+ a little servant roleplay?)
i'm so glad they're communicating, never been so happy to see erotic foot massage and puppy play
omg Jedi proposing (and this time the public proposal feels okay like it doesn't feel like pressuring Rose)
Jedi and Rose are sooo cute. maybe the fact that they have the least screentime & so the least conflict helps with that
10-4
I'm nervous
ooh, a Tony and Jean kiss
this is so fucked uppp, my poor Jean T.T
glad Tony turned out to be actually decent
Once again, I'm hoping Alex/Jean isn't endgame
polaroid photo of Alex's mother and Teacher Saran?
Watched most of this at 1.25x speed tbh
Ep 11 (Apr 26)
I'm really enjoying the show but I must be honest... I'm also kind of dreading it and just want to be done... The Alex & Jean is honestly A Lot for me and idk if they can handle it well and I'm not looking forward to Joe-Army and Mollie-Nim's conflicts either. I kinda wanna just knock out the last 2 episodes by tonight though because I just wanna be doneee
It'll be 1.25x speed for the rest of the show I think. I managed to watch the first 9 episodes at regular speed though
11-1
Ah, Alex's bio dad is actually their gym/sex-ed teacher
damn, we're going so fast with this storyline
dang, more than his mother, his father was the reason for the time travel with the camera gift
Tony and Kat could be cute
pls not the "what if I get dragged by your fans" mentioned
I get that Nim shouldn't have been so callous with Mollie by saying they can be friends but Nim literally had 1) Mollie kiss another boy while they dated and 2) had Bew walk out her while pregnant. I feel like her not opening up or easily trusting Mollie to be a good partner and parent makes sense
Mollie could've just said the stuff nicely as a confession instead of a fight
11-2
let's go Joe (incredibly easy fix for something serious though lol)
I don't get the point of the kicking crossbar thing but sure, ig Joe and Army have made up
girl okay wtf is this promposal from Alex to Jean, idkkkk I'm just not into it
glad Jean didn't say yes
11-3
aw, Jedi/Rose wedding
Army-Joe dance too, Joe overcoming his shyness
no way Ew is proposing right here smh
Tony and Kat are cute too, even if it's all going fast cuz the show's ending ig
I want Jean to be able to speak to somebody openly and honestly about being raped by Alex (like that's literally what it was), whether it be a therapist, a close friend, fucking confronting Alex, idc but it feels like Alex doesn't even give it the weight it deserves, idk
Alex requesting for Jean to get back with him like literally why bro just let the girl be, I beg
11-4
literally, like just let her live her life instead of fucking inserting yourself so boldly, and often so jokingly. i get that you wanna fucking climax and also go back to the future but it's so frustrating to have him want to get back with her romantically out of selfish desire instead of at least helping her altruistically
This is so devastating, I don't fucking want them together fr
omg, her telling him to go back to the past
I guess he's gonna go back in time and do things differently. I'm just glad that in this scenario with how things have played out, in this timeline how original Alex lived, Jean can't forgive him or get together with him. So I'm partially getting what I wanted.
Also interesting parallel with Alex's father who Alex is now refusing to give a second chance, to come into his life, because he fucked up big time as well and there's just no coming back from that to suddenly be a good dad or being involved with Alex's life.
Also, people in the YT comments or on reddit who are acting like "ohhh Alex didn't know, he can't be held accountable for that night/for not knowing about the pregnancy, Jean should've told him yada yada", fuck you like actually. She was a young woman who was raped by somebody she deeply trusted (idc that he was young and drunk and it was "unintentional" - doesn't undo what he did), then ostracized by the school while he was put on a padastal (and left his other friends to follow his popularity), then suspended, then found out she was pregnant at a time when abortion was illegal. It makes plenty of fucking sense to me that she didn't go and tell Alex what happened. It's not even like she was doing anything to Alex in the current timeline, he's the one who keeps inserting himself into her life and pursing her romantically despite her saying no multiple times (parallels?).
Ep 12 (Apr 26)
I don't really feel like watching this ep but I will because I just wanna be done bruh
1.5x speed idc
12-1
please Alex going around and being elated toward Grandpa and Ice who are like ?? lol
omg this is so funny as he gives everybody the advice they need 10 years in the future
12-2
bro there is noooo way they're gonna give Jean's iconic dildo defense rant to fucking Alex
bro you just went on a time travelling mission that taught you about your mistakes when you were drunk this night at this party, c'mon don't drink bruh
12-3
not the Liu-Ew and Jedi-Rose making out competition
Joe-Army have had more sex in public places than in private in every timeline
12-4
pls not the time jump again when he orgasms
Honestly, a pretty fun end and kind of makes me less upset at the other stuff. Like I'm still intellectually upset at it when I think about it, but I'm on a high from the fun stuff, so it doesn't feel as terrible as when I finished ep 11.
Overall:
A unique and enjoyable show, it was so fun to see all these characters in their specific situations and how they deal with them. The characters were all compelling, it's wild how I was into all their storylines. how charming each character/their story was, and how the story juggled them. It also made me see a bunch of actors in new lights, New most of all, as they acted in a role outside of their usual wheelhouse.
I think the most frustrating part for me was how it seemed like although they were getting at it, they never quite acknowledged that what Alex did to Jean that night was rape. It made me quite angry actually, especially how Alex's actions didn't feel like it actually took Jean's feelings and trauma and requests into account. I was at least glad that in that timeline, Jean doesn't get back with Alex.
Rating: 7/10

The Last of Us Part 1 and 2 Musings *Spoilers abound*
I finished up watching playthroughs of The Last of Us Part 1 & 2 this week and holy hell! SO good. So many feels.
I totally sympathize with Joel for not wanting to lose Ellie, but I also understand that Ellie felt robbed of her purpose for not dying in order to create a cure.
But honestly, what were the odds that her death would actually result in a vaccine?? She would die and they would have a starting place for immunity maybe? or understand how Ellie developed her immunity perhaps, but I feel like it would have taken more than just Ellie's sacrifice to develop a cure. I could definitely be wrong, but those are my thoughts. SO I'm probably more in the Joel camp as far as the ending of Part 1 goes.
Tumblr media
Part 2 was, wow, A LOT. There is so much unpack there.
I was glad that Ellie eventually found out the truth and Joel was finally honest with her.
Joel teaching Ellie to play guitar was everything.
Also, Ellie having her own place and space was really good to me. I assumed that she would stay with Joel, but I liked that she had her own independence, but Joel was always close by if needed.
I liked that Joel was finally living near Tommy, I have a special relationship with my brothers, and we live pretty separated from each other so I liked that Joel got to have his brother nearby finally.
It seemed that Joel was more at peace in Jackson, for all the terrible things he did, he's our special boi and it was nice to seem him looking a little more relaxed and play the dad role to Ellie, whether she wanted him to or not.
LOOK AT HIM, HE DESERVES EVERYTHING <33
Tumblr media
AND THEN THEY KILLED MY BOI :((((
Tumblr media
I honestly was so shocked, that even when the next scene happened and Tommy comes to see Ellie. I was like, "Oh ok this where he says Joel is in a coma or something." BUT NOPE. T.T
It was a great and terrible thing that they did. A really bold piece of story telling and much respect for that, but I was screaming at the screen much like Ellie here.
Tumblr media
This beautiful, flawed man, I was so upset, like for a whole day I was mad about it. I moved onto acceptance and I was very satisfied that Ellie hunted them down one by one.
Tommy going by himself before Ellie and Dina was dumb, especially after he had tried to talk Ellie out of it. The girls were going regardless of what anyone said. Tommy should have owned up to that and they could have helped taken care of each other especially having a singulair purpose to avenge Joel's murder.
What's incredible about this game is that it made me not care about the group that came after Joel, they killed my post apocalypse father, a daddy if you will. You don't mess with my daddies >:)
I found satisfaction in each of their deaths, even when we were forced to switch perspective to Abby, which I hated BTW, I HATED IT, but that's why it was so good right?! But even then, and I'll probably get in trouble for this, but I really didn't care when Owen and Mel died, I know, I'm a terrible person, but like fuck them for real. Fuck that stupid love triangle with Abby and Mel and Owen. I didn't care. I was too invested in Ellie, even though her story mirrored Abby's a bit.
I had mixed feelings about the ending as many did. I think Ellie should have either stayed with Dina or finish her revenge journey. The fact that she settled down just to pick up Abby's trail again later seemed a little wishy washy to me well then when she found Abby, she couldn't finish the job and lost her guitar playing fingers in the process.
So she had effectively lost Dina for nothing and did not avenge Joel and lost her only means of connecting with him, the guitar.
Now I can see her returning to Jackson to look for Dina, if she's even there, effectively leaving behind Joel's guitar and her revenge. And Dina could take her back, but like they what's the point of her going back after Abby???
Just to let her go, which at that point I was ok with because she had Lev and I was more invested in the Lev than Abby and I wanted Lev to survive for real.
Tumblr media
What I was hoping was maybe Abby and Lev convincing Ellie to go with them to the Fireflies and maybe devise a way to find a cure that DOESN'T murder Ellie, if that's even possible. She fulfills her purpose, doesn't die which also preserves what Joel did to keep her alive and Ellie breaks the cycle of revenge. It would have made her losing Dina still shitty, but make more sense.
Ah well, what the hell do I know? It was a great and terrible journey and I'm happy I made it through. It makes me even more excited for what the show is going to come up for us. :)))))
Tumblr media
Me too Joel, me too <333

NCT Dream reaction to hearing ‘I love you’ for the first time
MASTERLIST || REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!!!
Hi guys! This is my first “reactions” post so I do hope you like it! I’ve added Mark and Haechan to the list this time. I already wrote out Mark’s before realizing that I was just going to keep them with 127, so I said “to heck with it” and decided to keep them in this post XP Also, Chenle and Jisung are left out of this reaction, only because they are both still young ♥  So, I hope you enjoy!!!!!
Mark
Tumblr media
can we just say awkward but in the cutest way
i can see him staring with wide eyes and his mouth slightly ajar
a little stuttering going on as he asks ‘wait what?’
he’d chuckle, scratching the back of his neck still flabbergasted by what you just said
it may take his brain a little bit to process that someone has just said “I love you” to him
so give this poor man some time
once he understands and reality smacks him in the face
he’ll smile lightly and with the smallest voice say
“I love you too”
[is it weird that I also hear him saying “dude” somewhere in this whole conversation? lol]
Renjun
Tumblr media
so, can we just say he would have hearts in his eyes
literally would be super shocked but oh so happy to hear those three words
he’s a hopeless romantic in my eyes despite all the choke holds
[i understand you Renjun sometimes Haechan is that annoying] LOL
he’d probably take a huge gulp before scratching the back of his neck not knowing what to do
if he’s brave enough to make physical contact afterwards
it’ll be a light embrace before pulling back to look you in the eyes
if not, he’d most likely hold your hands tightly before saying that he loved you as well
he’d admit that he wanted to say it for a while now
but didn’t want to rush you or make things weird
however, he’s super happy that you told him
he’ll be in an extremely good mood all day long
not even Haechan will get under his skin xP
Jeno
Tumblr media
*am I falling for Jeno O.O [no I can’t be...Jaemin my Dream bias...I’m sorry...he’s just too cute...T.T] * LOL
when you say “I love you” he’ll be shocked
a lot of “eh?” “what?” “huh?” noises coming from him
y’all know what I’m talking about *wink*
his eyes wide as an owl’s while he processes your confession
the moment that the light bulb turns on he’s full of love
seriously, will smile at you like your the answer to all his prayers
just a huge softie and is it weird that I see him hiding his face?
like he won’t know what the flop just happened but he couldn’t be happier
he may even wrap his arm around yours snuggling close to you
only so that you won’t see his face
in the softest but deepest voice he’ll utter “I love you too”
if he’s feeling brave he may even look up showing you how red his face had gotten
seriously WHY THE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP AM I CRUSHING ON JENO RIGHT NOW?!
Haechan
Tumblr media
*seriously it was hard to find a proper gif for Haechanie T.T*
this brat will automatically freeze up
no joke! haha surprise him with those three words and his brain will stall
it’ll probably be the first time you caught him off guard and he doesn’t know exactly how to take this turn of events
but once he does...
THE BIGGEST FLIPPIN’ SMIRK WILL BE ON HIS FACE
seriously it’ll annoy you...
you’ll want to turn away, walk away, stomp out of the room before you say something offensive
because of how freakin’ adorable he is
but also because you just opened pandora’s box of teasing
you know 100% that for the rest of your time together or your LIFE he won’t let you live this down
this brat would even lean in and ask for you to repeat yourself because he didn’t hear you
with the most obvious smile on his face that clearly says “I heard everything”
*secretly I’m whipped for Haechan LOL*
when you refuse [because it was hard enough once] he’ll get whiny
he doesn’t know the term “personal space” or “social distancing” lol
he won’t stop acting adorkable until you shout out “I SAID I LOVED YOU FOR GOODNESS SAKE NOW SHUT UP!”
he’ll probably scoff and say that you don’t need to shout that he heard you the first time
yeah...he’ll make you want to explode with fury...that is...
until he gives you a peck on the lips and says “I love you too”
with the MOST sincere voice and expression you’ve seen from him
then...and only then will your fury fade
Jaemin
Tumblr media
*why does this gif crack me up? why are you so adorable Jaemin?! Why?!!!*
another “Haechan-like” member
he’ll be shocked but he won’t be shocked to the point Haechan was
he’ll smile that cute adorable grin where it seems like he’ll turn into the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland
your brain already waiting for him to call you a cutie
for him to pinch your cheeks
and just start bouncing around like a kid in a candy store
but what will happen is a simple wink then a kiss blown your way
he may/may not say I love you back depending on how long you’ve been together
he’s the only one who I feel will only say it back if he 100% means it
[y’know not as some kind of reflex or thinking he NEEDS to say it back]
like even if he has SSSSSSUUUUUUUPPPPPPEEEEEERRRRR strong feelings for you if those are not justified by the word “love” he won’t say it
if it’s like this he’ll say you’ve made him the happiest man in the world
then shower you in affection
to which you won’t be upset
IF the feelings are the same...
HE’LL SHOWER YOU IN AFFECTION
again you won’t be upset by this at all ♥♥♥♥
*salutes you* good luck soldier! we all know how Jaemin is when he’s feeling all cute and in his feelings ♥
*melts at the thought* ♥♥

Tumblr media
100 follower celebration
Omg thank you so much!! I’m sorry if this is crappy ahah I really struggled to start it and also i am terrible at flirting but so are these two dorks!!!
Also through writing this I realised that I am not that good at writing when it’s a) something light-hearted b) second person. BUT I’M STILL GONNA TRY. Also this is longer than I intended but largely because I didn’t know how to introduce the flirting without it being longer... The other ones I write won’t be this long (i hope!) Also I feel like this is really terrible, I’m sorry T.T
warning: changing povs cuz i am stupid!  1.3k words.
taglist: @allthingskakashi @ibukiirisha @datblobbyfish @praisingkuroosbedhead @madaras-housewife @cinam00n @enchantedpendant
56. Are you flirting with me?
You let out a sigh - all too common a sound for you these days - and stared hopelessly at the flood of paper at your feet. Everywhere and anywhere, covering the entire cross-section of the hallway so neatly that you were tempted to just leave it there.
Of course, you muse bitterly. This was exactly what you needed. Being dragged back to the hospital on your one day off after having to work your ass off for a week - that wasn’t enough.
Neither was being tricked into taking the fall for one of the medical ninja who’d somehow fucked up the most basic procedure possible - that hadn’t been enough either.
And being lumbered with all the paperwork that was supposed to be the work of your underlings (normally humility would stop you from admitting it, but your patience was running thin) - of course, that wasn’t enough.
But dropping ever sheet of every document that you’d painstakingly and meticulously organised and filled out? This had better be enough, for your sake - and for the sake of anyone who’d have the misfortune to encounter you today.
You carried on gazing at the mess in front of you - praying that the sheer hope of your will would wish it out of existence.
You closed your eyes. You waited. You opened your eyes. Your own scribbles greeted you mockingly, and you could pinpoint whereabouts you lost your motivation on your handwriting.
So much for making it disappear.
You hunched your shoulders in defeat, and fell to your knees. Your tired fingers got to work, gathering the paper. Your head and eye sockets ached in tandem, more and more with each sheet you picked up. It just wasn’t fair. All this work you were doing, that you weren’t even supposed to be doing, thanklessly - and for what? You didn’t have time for friends, for yourself - you barely even washed your hair last night. Caught up in your own self-pity, it took you a minute or two to notice that you weren’t actually picking up your paperwork anymore - it was being handed to you.
You frowned at the hand in front of you, your weary brain attempting to make sense of the present. You recognised the hand - it was a man’s hand, a shinobi’s hand, adorned with fingerless gloves, large, strong-seeming - though subtly so, to the point where you could overlook it easily. You studied them a few moments longer when it finally hit you. These were Kakashi’s hands. You’d noticed them many a time before. On the rare occasion you were sent on a mission, or most commonly when he’d end up back here after completing one, but his hands had left an impression on you. Many things about him left an impression on you, if you were being completely honest with yourself.
But you didn’t like to be completely honest with yourself. The realisation brought you back to the present, where you suddenly remembered that you’d just been gawking at this man’s hand, silently, while he’d been holding out something for you to take. Shit. You felt your cheeks heat up, and took the paper quickly.
“Sorry! Thank you!” You said quickly, looking at the paperwork, before finding the courage to ignore your embarrassment and blink back up at your helper. Kakashi just glanced back at you curiously - well, that’s what it seemed like, through his one visible eye.
“Something wrong, Y/N? You seem a little… spaced out,” Kakashi said slowly, and you felt scrutinised under his gaze. The smooth tone of his voice didn’t help cool down the heat in your cheeks, either. Good thing you did manage to wash your hair last night, though you were sure your exhausted mood wasn’t doing you any favours physically.
“Sorry. Overworked. Wasn’t expecting to see you here,” you explained, and you couldn’t help the smile that came to your face. He’d been discharged yesterday - not that you were his doctor, not this time, and not that you checked up on him when he came in and when he’d left - no, definitely not.
Kakashi hummed, but returned to helping you gather up the papers. He didn’t offer any explanation as to why he was here - you didn’t ask directly, after all. No chance he would admit it if you had, anyway. Instead, he smiled under his mask. He hadn’t expected to see you react this way - off guard, nervous - and even though you didn’t exactly seem like you had the energy to respond positively, you still were. It was all very… adorable. “I could tell.”
“Well, yeah - I really appreciate it, but you don’t have to help. You probably have something to do, right?”
“Right.” Wait, Kakashi thought, no. How did you manage to catch him off-guard too? “I mean, no. I don’t. You look like you could use some help.”
“Oh, I’m okay, honestly. Just one of those days, you know?”
That was another thing. How you did everything by yourself, out of necessity. You didn’t seem to expect the same kindness you offered freely outwards. He smiled again, and went back to work again.
“I do know. And though I’m sure you’re okay, two hands are better than one - well, four are better than two - you know what I mean.”
You giggled, but didn’t even think to tease him further. He was always thankful for your kindness. “Okay. Thank you.”
Kakashi smiled, and gathered up the rest of the files. You didn’t seem to have to do much else after that. He seemed to hold them with so much more ease than you did, but that was to be expected. “Alright. Where am I taking these?”
He stopped you when you shook your head and tried to prise the heavy pile from his arms.
“I think I’m less likely to drop them than you are, Y/N.”
You opened your mouth to argue, before you realised that he wasn’t wrong. Instead, you relented, and began leading him down the hallway. It was nice to not have to do everything for a change, and it was even nicer that it was Kakashi of all people. “I appreciate it. I really am exhausted”
Kakashi winked. “Well, being exhausted agrees with you."
You blinked back at him. What did that mean?
He paused, before his own mind went into overdrive. How were you supposed to take that? Why was he incapable of saying something normal around you? The words fumbled over in his brain as he tried to correct himself. “I mean…  You look good, even though you’re exhausted. Never mind.”
What is wrong with me, Kakashi chided himself, but his heart skipped a beat when he heard you giggle.
“Thanks?”
“You’re very welcome.” Well, he’d resigned himself to being an idiot now. At least he’d corrected himself. Somewhat. “You know, if you appreciate this, what say you return the favour for me in some way?”
“Are you flirting with me?” you asked quietly. Common sense would have dictated yes, but you still had to quell your own self-doubt.
“If you’re as busy as you seem to be, it probably won’t be likely, but…,” Kakashi continued on, before he registered your question. Suddenly he became thankful for his mask. It was a good thing you couldn’t see just how how hard he was blushing.
But you got an inkling anyway. “I could make it a little likelier. I could even return the favour this evening. But what did you have in mind? Not helping with your paperwork?” You were teasing him a little, by this point, but he didn’t mind.
“No, I meant -,” he stopped himself when he realised you were joking. “Wait. Are you flirting with me?”
You laughed, as you opened the door to your office, and Kakashi’s eyes didn’t stray from yours as he carefully placed your work on your desk. Suddenly he felt a little bit braver - and maybe he would take you up on your offer.
You didn’t feel so angry about being called in, or the stupid medical ninja (even if he was still stupid), or dropping your hours of work. Maybe this was exactly what you needed, after all.

QianQiu/Thousand Autumns Fic: [Ch. 2] In which teacher!SQ and mafia leader!YWS talk for the first time.
Title: You’re a Problem I Encounter Fandom: Qian Qiu / Thousand Autumns Characters/Ships: YanShen Rating: NSFW eventually Chapter: 2/?  Summary: Yan Wushi was the proud leader of Huan Yue Group, one of the most influential syndicates in the underground world, who wanted nothing more than to see the world burn. His accidental encounter with the pure-hearted school teacher Shen Qiao was a problem he didn’t expect to get entangled in. A/N: No more touching this fic until I’m done with the finals T.T List of Chapters: [1] [2] [3] 
-
ii. No Saint
It was pitch black when Shen Qiao woke up. He blinked once, twice – endless black, deeper than the night — his breath stuttering in his throat and heart thudding against his ribcage in that strangely familiar, bitter taste of terror: the inability to perceive light, the anxiety of facing the unknown.
“You’re finally awake?”
A deep voice entered his consciousness like distant thunder, rumbling with warmth yet charged with danger.
A light to his left blinked on, cold white fluorescent flooded his peripheral vision and made Shen Qiao’s eyes sting from the sudden brightness. When his pupils adjusted to the light at last, he was able to make out a fuzzy outline of someone sitting by his bedside. The figure was mostly cast in shadow, but even in the best lighting, it would have been impossible for him to see anything further than half an arm’s length with any semblance of crisp clarity.
Driven by habit, Shen Qiao began to reach blindly to the side for his spectacles, which, of course were not there.
“Looking for these?” the man with the same deep, baritone voice asked, placing a piece of mangled metal that used to be his glasses into his hand.
Feeling the warped titanium remnants with his fingers, Shen Qiao heaved a soft sigh. He knew there was no way these could be repaired, so he’d have to endure the inconvenience of blurry vision until he could get new glasses or get his hands on some contact lenses, which had long fallen out during his rough scuffle with He Huan Group’s people.
Not that it was anything new – the cloudy eyesight – since he’d spent most of his childhood with his eyes in even worse state until he was in his early teens when Qi Fengge persuaded him to undergo surgery, which had improved his ability to see if only just slightly.  
Wandering in his own thoughts though never allowing himself to be defenseless in an unfamiliar environment, Shen Qiao suddenly sensed more than heard the stranger invading his personal space – the surrounding air becoming too hot from the man’s exhale and body heat, too stifling from how close and physically intimidating the man’s presence exuded, looming over him like a hunter anticipating the taste of its prey — and Shen Qiao tried to back up as best as he could, given how parts of his body were too numb from sleep or too painful from the fight to move promptly.
The man chuckled but didn’t advance further upon seeing Shen Qiao trying to shuffle back to keep his distance.
“Are you sure you should be moving around like that?” the man sat back down in his chair, arms crossed over his chest as he continued to observe the injured man with an interested gaze.
“I’m sorry.”
Ever the polite gentleman, Shen Qiao realized that he was acting quite rude to the person who’d rescued him from a terrible situation that he very likely wasn’t going to get out of by himself. Still, his delicate frame, warm hazel eyes, gentle smiles, and soft-spoken nature all contributed to a first impression of a man who was agreeable and amiable, maybe even somewhat unassuming to the point of foolish naiveté, yet those who’d been acquainted with him long enough knew that beneath his kind and considerate disposition was someone constructed of steel bones and unyielding morals.
There was a reason why he was known to be an anomaly in the underground world, crawling with all sorts of criminals and infested with coldblooded monsters that found thrills in destruction and the fall of humanity. Shen Qiao was the adopted son of a once-famed assassin Qi Fengge, who’d retired for the last decade now but had since headed one of the largest and most formidable assassin organizations that employed the best professionals good money could hire.  
“You’re a funny one,” the man commented, hint of amusement seeping into his voice. “What are you sorry for?”
“I just… don’t like it when people I don’t know well get too close to me,” Shen Qiao explained quietly, his body visibly relaxed a little once he knew the stranger had backed off. “I did not mean to be disrespectful to someone who’d saved my life.”
When the stranger didn’t immediately respond, Shen Qiao continued with hesitation, “may I know the name of my savior?”
“Yan Wushi.”
He seemed content enough to offer that, at least.
“Leader of Huan Yue Group?”
Shen Qiao’s slight frown didn’t go unnoticed by the ever-observant mafia leader.
“You’ve heard of me?” Yan Wushi leaned in just a degree.
“My father had told me about you.”
Also, Shen Qiao didn’t think it was a good idea to say it out loud, but he knew that in recent years, Yan Wushi – and really, all of Huan Yue Group – was infamous for being gutsy enough to be striding the border between the criminal world and the political sphere, and still benefit greatly from both.
“All good things, I hope.”
“Huan Yue Group mixes with government officials – specifically Yuwen Yong’s faction – and gets on their good side either by offering them financial assistance under the table or getting rid of any political opponents that stand in Yuwen Yong’s way through any means possible,” Shen Qiao recited the information like he was memorizing it from a textbook.
“It’s a mutually beneficial relationship,” Yan Wushi admitted.
Shen Qiao’s frown deepened when he continued, “several deaths and disappearances had been suspected to be connected to members of Huan Yue, but the police never found any solid evidence to arrest or lay charges on anyone.”  
“You can’t possibly blame us for the police department’s incompetence. And here I thought you’re blissfully ignorant of how our side works,” one corner of Yan Wushi’s lips twisted upwards, his interest in this frail-looking man had been elevated from indifference to modest curiosity. “It seems Qi Fengge had taught you the basics after all, despite the fact that you’re not expected to be his successor. Fascinating.”
“Father simply didn’t wish for me to be completely uninformed,” Shen Qiao exhaled, letting his eyes fall close as if he’d suddenly become too tired. “Having knowledge is a kind of advantage, though it may not seem like it at the time. I didn’t want to take over the family business, and father respected my decision, but he said even if I have no desire to work underground, the underground world will still find its way to catch up to me eventually. He was right, of course.”
He sounded exhausted, like he’d been running and escaping for years, and every time he thought he’d gotten ahead of the bloody claws of the clandestine world, it came at him snarling with gaping jaws, a cruel reminder that no matter how far he thought he’d gotten away, no matter how hard he’d convinced himself that he wasn’t part of the bloodthirst and violence, the mere fact that he was the son of Qi Fengge, the prodigious assassin’s greatest strength and weakest link, had already sealed him to a certain fate.
Shen Qiao loved and respected Qi Fengge. When Qi Fengge found him beaten and half-starving on the street and took him in one rainy night, five-year-old Shen Qiao would have never thought he’d feel the warmth of family and safety of a home again after he’d lost his parents.
He wanted to repay Qi Fengge in any way he could, but when he was old enough to finally understand what kind of organization Xuan Du was and what Qi Fengge’s real identity entailed, Shen Qiao was torn: he could – no, should – accept the position, train hard to become Qi Fengge’s next successor, and take over Xuan Du and its commitment to only execute those who were deserving of it, if only for the sake of doing what he could to show his gratitude towards his adopted father, yet his righteous moral compass and absolute belief in humanity’s good nature – borne from his education and the teachings of his father – forced him to make one of the most difficult decisions in his life.
It was ironic, how the assassination group operated under Qi Fengge’s guidance: Xuan Du Group only accepted jobs whose targets were beyond anyone’s saving and the victims’ families’ reconciling, their crimes numerous or excessive, their sins unpardonable. But who were counting the number of lives taken away by the hands of Xuan Du’s assassins?
Yan Wushi’s baritone voice pulled Shen Qiao back to the present.
“Everyone says the adopted son of Qi Fengge is different – refined, pristine, pure-hearted, a white water lily untainted by the dirty muck that brought him up,” Yan Wushi watched him closely for any flicker of emotion, “but I don’t believe that a person can truly remain unaffected by the surrounding environment.”
Yan Wushi moved so swiftly that there was no way Shen Qiao could have dodged in his current condition, so when he felt strong fingers gripping his chin and forcing him in place while the mafia leader hovered close – terrifyingly close, breaths hot and vivid against Shen Qiao’s own lips – and the other arm trapping the injured man between himself and the wall, Shen Qiao froze, eyes wide open and the only thing he perceived was Yan Wushi’s eyes.
Dark brown, but almost glowing with the rusted red of blood.  
“You’re exactly the type of people I’d like to see battered and broken.”
Shen Qiao swallowed, silently willing himself in his mind to keep calm, and when he was certain his voice wouldn’t shake, he asked while maintaining their shared gaze, “then why did you save me?”
A short pause as Yan Wushi regarded the composed expression on Shen Qiao’s face, and then he barked out a laugh, roughly letting go of the other man and stepping back.
“Don’t think too highly of me, Shen Qiao. I’m certainly no saint. You were in Sang Jingxing’s possession, and I just happen to hate that man and want to fuck with him. Besides, I enjoy having people owe me.”
From this distance, Shen Qiao couldn’t see Yan Wushi’s facial expression, but years of living with vision disability meant that he’d trained his ears to pick up on the smallest nuances in the rise and fall of a person’s voice. He could almost picture the man uttering the last phrase with a snide grin.    
“Regardless, I’m grateful for what you’ve done,” Shen Qiao lowered his head in a nod of thanks, “if there’s anything I can do in return in the future, please let me know.”
“Anything?”
Shen Qiao could practically hear the smile in that purr.
“Anything within the legal and ethical realm,” Shen Qiao corrected calmly.

hello hello !! i saw that your requests were open 👀 could i maybe request something fluffy with shinwon (ptg)? maybe along the lines of prompts 46 + 49 where it ends with like cuddles n kisses hehe,, thank you !! 💕
i’m sorry i’m so late T.T ily thank you so much for requesting this!! 
46. “I’ll never tell you where I hid it!” + 49. “You’ll never catch me!” x Shinwon
Warnings: food mentions
prompt list
Tumblr media
“[y/n]...” you heard Shinwon’s suspicious voice echoing through your apartment. His footsteps grew louder as he approached your bedroom, where you were sprawled out on your bed.
“Shinwon...” you replied, mimicking his tone of voice.
“Why has my entire Tipco juice collection gone missing?”
“Tipco? What’s that?” you asked, continuing to obliviously scroll through your phone.
Of course you knew what Tipco was. It was your boyfriend’s favourite brand of juice, and he recently stocked up on it. But the two of you were in the middle of some intense, strange war that Shinwon had started by hiding your favourite sweater and then leaving the shower while wearing it.
How had you managed to hide 20 boxes full of Tipco juice cartons? With patience, that’s how. You had made several trips to your storage unit in the basement of your apartment to put all the juice there. It was doing the both of you a favour if you were being honest, since the juice had been stacked in the living room and was taking up a lot of space.
But you knew how Shinwon had purposely put them there so he could have easy access.
“Don’t act like this” Shinwon whined, sitting at your side on the bed. 
“Act like what?”
“Like this!” he shouted, pointing at you.
“This is extremely suspicious! Look, your lips are smiling at the corners!”
“How could that even happen?” you asked Shinwon, clearly smiling.
He sighed and then fell on top of you, pressing all of his weight against yours. You groaned.
“I will not get up until you tell me where my juice is.”
Tickling his sides to get him off you, you smoothly slid off the bed.
“I’ll never tell you where I did it!” you yelled, sticking your tongue out at him and running into the living room.
“So you do admit that you hid them!” Shinwon panted, breathless after laughing. He got up to chase after you.
“Come here, [y/n]!” 
He was on one side of the coffee table while you were on the other, eyeing his movements so you could run in the opposite direction. Then, you got an idea.
“You’ll never catch me!” you screamed, heading for the front door.
Shinwon reached out but his arms weren’t long enough to grab you, but he still ran out of the apartment behind you.
Your heart racing, you somehow managed to enter the elevator and close it before Shinwon could reach you. As you rode up to the rooftop, you tried to catch your breath.
Shinwon was still on the floor of your apartment, carefully watching the numbers on the elevator rise until he knew where you were headed. He used the stairs since you were using the only elevator.
When you got to the rooftop, you burst through the doors and hid behind some bushes that were in front of the door. Feeling your heartbeat returning to normal, you pulled out a carton of Tipco from the pocket of your sweatpants and started to quietly drink.
The door bursted open a few moments later and you could hear Shinwon breathing heavily.
“I can hear the sound of someone drinking my precious Tipco! [y/n], where are you?”
How could this man hear you drinking? You carefully put the juice down and made sure he couldn’t see you.
But he was tall enough to see you behind the bushes from where he stood at the front door. He had already seen you and was just acting.
“I wonder where [y/n] is? They wouldn’t be behind these bushes, would they?”
You felt a hand on top of your head and slowly looked up. Shinwon had a big smirk on his face, and he ran around the bushes with his hand still on your head so you couldn’t escape.
“Come here, you thief!” he yelled, pulling you into his arms as he fell back onto the grass behind you. Trapped in his arms, you wriggled and squirmed but Shinwon held you tightly, burying his head into a spot just above your collar bone.
He lifted his head to kiss your jaw, and as you continued to thrash, he ended up kissing your nose, cheeks, the sides of your mouth and somehow even your forehead.
“I’ll keep kissing you unless you tell me where you hid my Tipco!” Shinwon declared, pressing his lips onto your mouth.
You gently pulled away, out of breath.
“Then why should I tell you?”
“Because my lips will stay on your face until you tell me,” he said, pressing his lips to your cheeks and not moving.
“How terribly inconvenient,” you said sarcastically, crossing your arms as Shinwon continued to stay in the same position.
“I guess I’ll get up now,” you said, trying to get up. But you wouldn’t budge.
“Shinwon! You never said you’d also hold onto me! Now let me go!”
He pulled away so he could speak.
“Okay, I change the rules! I won’t let you go until you tell me!”
You sighed.
“I put them in the storage unit! They’re safe, I promise.”
Shinwon also sighed.
“Why couldn’t you tell me that sooner, then?”
“Because then it wouldn’t be any fun,” you said, kissing Shinwon’s nose and smiling as you watched him scrunch up his face.
“Okay but I won’t believe you until I see them with my own eyes!” Shinwon exclaimed, letting go of you carefully before grabbing the rest of your Tipco and running towards the rooftop door.
“Wait for me!” you yelled, running after him.

I'm primarily a Mephiro shipper but I know you like MephAmaiRin and I'm curious about how you feel about your OT3 in these scenarios: 9, 27, 29, 31, 36 and 45 (This is for that "Send me a ship and a number and I'll tell you" ship post) and sorry I know it was supposed to be one number but I was curious about all of these haha
I will also gladly do a mephiro too ;D don’t hold back, I’m a multi-shipper at heart. But hell yeah ot3 :D
9. Do they discuss big issues? Religion? Marriage? Children? Death?
-Religion probably not, or in the vein of what goes on in canon so it’s nbd to any of them. Marriage, Rin is pretty much well if they’re happy with whatever we’ve got going on, it’s cool (tho he’d also be thrilled for an actual wedding, if only as a reason to get all his friends/family around for a celebration bc he’s sociable like that). But it’s right up there with the “love” topic and something Rin edges around bc he knows they’re not quite ready to hear that stuff. Children never really come up bc Rin doesn’t realize it’s even an option (tho given certain demons’ shapeshifting abilities~). And again, all things human concerns so Mephisto/Amaimon don’t look at them the same way Rin does so when the topics do come up, it’s usually Rin being the odd one out with his human upbringing making something like death more of a big deal. Mephisto knows to handle heavy topics a bit more delicately in a way that Rin understands if only bc he’s used to humanity by now. (I could write like an essay on how they each approach these topics and heavy issues in general but I just realized how many questions I have to get thru yet XD).
27. Do they have kids? Grow old together? Split up?
--I see Rin either adopting various strays he’s picked up and imprinted on over the years and Mephisto/Amaimon just huff and accept that they’re gonna have to share Rin’s attention with others. (Tho again, fun with shapeshifting vessels means I’d get to play with the ot3 and their horrible eldritch abominations/children and Rin being trailed by a flock of monsters he refers to as his babies lol). I tend to take that Rin’s demon heart makes him more like a demon king/satan than a typical nephilim that only live for 200 years so they definitely grow “old” together in a sense of the word lol But for splitting up, I’d say that in the end, it becomes a good-natured relationship between them and Rin throughout the ages. They might spend some centuries closer than others, and some more apart as they enjoy their various hobbies but never really “break up”.
29. How do they handle disasters or emergencies? Minor injuries? Sickness?
--Oooh well they’re really going thru it rn in canon XD So much like that, Mephisto’s probably got a plan, Amaimon’s a one-demon battering ram, and Rin is out there in the middle of things totally clueless but ready to throw hands  lmao Minor injuries are made a big fuss of by Mephisto for himself, those giant bandaids and requests for someone to kiss his owies better while Amaimon just stares into the camera like he’s on the office and Rin sighs and complies. Sickness is just an excuse for attention and they all take advantage of it since it happens so rarely (if ever, do we even know if demons can contract an illness? Maybe a demonic one like I did for the Quarantine Au lol). Thus, Rin becomes a living space heater and provider of hot soup, Amaimon is there with the absentminded hair brushing and tea, and Mephisto is awful but he might carry them to bed or help them take a bath/order Belial to give them a bath when he’s especially lazy lmao
31. Do they finish each other’s sentences? Pick up any phrases or habits from each other? Know when the other is hiding something?
--Rin and Mephisto are kings of being teasing shitheads to each other and definitely not above poking at inside jokes or little things like finishing sentences. Amaimon picks up habits all the time, constantly watching Rin/Mephisto bc he’s curious about the things they’re interested in and why. Rin is a terrible liar and they both know when he’s hiding anything, rip to him lmao Though they might guess he’s hiding something, but not what and he surprises them all the time. Amaimon is another open book, but only bc he doesn’t see the point in lying and will be blunt about most things or clam up and not say anything when he doesn’t want to answer. Annnd Mephisto is a horrible/perennial liar and at this point it’s safer to assume he’s hiding something than not. Tho he rarely fully lies, preferring to lie with the truth or let ppl lie to themselves. Rin/Amaimon are used to picking out when he’s masking things he’d rather not talk about, tho cornering him is the tricky part.
36. What’s their greatest strength as a couple? Their weakness?
--These guys are a power ot3 100% :D Rin doesn’t humanize them so much as bring out the best aspects of them, and they repay it with meeting him halfway. It’s all about getting Rin to recognize his role as Satan’s nephil/ the new godking of gehenna while also accepting the human piece of Rin and accommodating it into their lives. Their weakness is definitely that Mephisto refuses to let anyone really know his plans, and those can be unintentionally self-destructive, plus he tends to displace all his stress onto Amaimon as a convenient punching bag and Rin isn’t cool with that. They’re all incredibly stubborn too, so arguments aren’t always about changing each other’s minds, so much as letting them know what they’re going to do and doing it anyway.
45. Any special dreams or goals they have as a couple? Any heartbreaks? Regrets?
--Annnnd last question~ This is fun lol Mephisto just wants what he always has, to have the freedom to play with his sandbox/Assiah without someone trying to take his toys away or mess with them, as long as he has that, he’s happy playing with his toys and enjoying the excitement Rin and Amaimon bring to his life. Rin mostly just wants to explore the world (I’m thinking end of the series he goes off and takes Amaimon with to see all the cool places he’s always wanted to travel to, possibly picking up new cooking techniques along the way lol). He probably sticks around as paladin and mephisto sends him on fun missions to pick up haunted dolls for his prank collection XD They live it day by day, eternity makes it less crucial to have an end goal. Tho Rin’s biggest goal is to get them to the point where they can hear him say love without it making them act weird lol Heartbreaks probably come into play when the people closest to Rin begin to die from old age, leaving Rin to come to terms with it. Mephisto/Amaimon can logic it out why he’s upset, and they’ve seen enough humans die/react to death that they understand it’s difficult for them, but they still lack the compassion/sympathy to really help him and he’d have to do the emotional brunt work.
Ooh man this ended up long lmao There’s so much more to add too T.T
Thanks for the ask~ @entitycreation

The Bone Witch Incoherent Whatever
I started these books mainly because I can't read French very well, but this is a story for another list. I started them and finished them, and I didn't know I had needed such a story. This. Bad. So I guess a super long and super spoiler-y list was in order (while I cry again because they are too much T.T)
Rin Chupeco was immediatly added to my list of favourite human beings: the dedications were a mood and the acknowledgments, gosh wonderful
Tea of the Embers, love of my life, is amazing, I don't care about anything I loved her from her first words until the very end
Somehow we always knew where this was gonna end, but i didn't feel prepared at all, my heart breaking and mending at every chapter
"My only claim of strangeness was that I read fiercely, learned thirstly"
"We asha are always expected to be on our most proper behavior, to never have so much as a hair out of turn. Asha do not cry or scream or make threats. When people cut us, we are expected to do only two things: smile and bleed.”
The world building, the power system, the politics, Tea's commanding of the Dark
The deal with Mykaela heartglass broke my heart, I have ex that I regret and the idea that I could remain stuck like that, loving someone and slowly dying because of that terrifies me (HOW COULD YOU KILL HER WHEN THEY WERE SO CLOSE)
THE AZI
I repeat THE AZI
Tea looked at a giant three-headed undefeated dragon, went around in its head, saw it just wanted to be left alone (which same) and said I'm gonna keep it (which again SAME)
What do I have to do to befriend a dragon? (TELL ME)
Zoya turning out to be a magnificent and fierce warrior with a major case of ChildhoodFriendCrush, and not irrelevent mean girl
Also her and Shadi are just so cute, the way the first is always embarassed and everything and the other just loves and teases her more
"Unfortunately, the oracle had something very different in mind with me" takes on a WHOLE new meaning when you finish the trilogy
I hated how people started getting more and more scared of Tea, when in the end it was all a plot, a lot of prejudices were to blame, and they seemed to forget how kind my girl always was
I have to say I liked Aneah and all the words she whispered, give me a twisted dark lady and you have my attention
"A little corruption is good for the soul, Tea." To which yes, let a girl get revenge
I'm looking at you filthy oracle, I can understand the "I have to sacrifice something to win this fight" way to go, but you were just a pathetic crazy liar, how dare you corrupt Althecia
I can't get over that, I didn't see it coming
The elders made me sick, those horrible hags tested my patience, go die of old age Hestia or whatever
The end of The Bone Witch will always have my heart because Chupec dropped the ship bomb on me with a "Let's go, Kalen"
After going on with "a boy who died for me" and "I made a note to strangle Kalen as soon as I saw him again", AND THEN THAT
I was rooting for them, so I think I screamed or something: you say enemy to lovers, you have my attention
Those two invented love, it took them two books to get around, but was it worth it. They were so devoted to each other, like Kalen stayed with her against Everything and Everyone, like literally. We stan one loving boy
Whats more the oracle had predicted the next bone witch was gonna bring about the dead of her lover, and he was going around "get away from the prince!", then she went, brought down the freacking azi, trapped a Faceless one using her dead horse, and he was like "I guess I'm doomed"
gosh Fox
It all started with "Let me be clear: I never intended to raise my brother from his grave, though he may claim otherwise. If there’s anything I’ve learned from him in the years since, it’s that the dead hide truths as well as the living."
He is exactly how a big brother should be, you can feel him come back to life in every sense, slowly, until he falls in love. I could feel all his love for a sister he kept understanding less and less despite being in her head, and how this held him back from a life he wanted, but knew he shouldn't have had in the first place
Beautifully done, I felt and understood Fox, despite him not being the narrator, despite being angry at how the situation with Daisy was hurting Tea, the two of them were power siblings
“We need someone in our heads to tell us whenever we’re being idiotic. It’s the Pahlavi way.”
Mistress Parmina with her love for money, always stood behind Tea, despite her way of doing things and I wished that Councilor Ludvig was my granpa, I mean he was this kind, smart politician who taught Tea a lot and helped them mantain peace
Ah the well meaning Inessa, I liked her, but felt like I haven't seen enough of her
But the joke of how there were no rulers to get accidentally engaged to killed me, that's awareness
Polaire T.T
The infatuation for Kance stayed that way and I'm glad, and most of the last books I was like, don't hurt my girl
The Heartforger was a rollercoaster ship-wise: Tea insults Kalen, he is standing behind her; Kalen tries to be nice to Tea, Tea is very confused; pretend they are a thing in front of family; Tea compels Kalen hoping to save his life, Kalen is not pleased at all; unsuccessful apologies; realization, "compel me too", you gotta destroy this two dudes who were rude to you, so I can go "that's my Tea"; you don't just stab the Deathseeker while the bone witch is watching; very public kiss; taking each other back from Faceless influence
All the time they spent with a Heartshare rune between them
"We danced for a few minutes without saying anything. A Daanorian woman worked up the nerve to approach us but backed away when I glared at her. “Angry about something?” “You do know there are women itching to kill me right now, right?” His grip tightened. “Did someone compel the people in the palace? The wards are still in place.” I sighed. “That’s not what I meant. Never mind.”"
“Nobody’s more of a fighter than you. You’re the bravest, strongest, most amazing man I’ve ever…”
Realizes
"I mean you are alright"
When Tea jumped off the tower and the azi caught her !!! (yes I screamed, because I love one queen)
"He was the only place I could rest my head and dream without nightmares plaguing me, as they had for the last three months."
Rahim and Ches were very precious
And don't get me started on Likh
Lady Likh can very much kick your ass on her own, but try to hurt her and you'll have to speak with my punches
Khalad agrees with me (the guys in this family don't know how to get the hint)
But in the end, he was helping Tea so Likh could wake (tears, tears everywhere)
The induced madness and the Blight stuff were sick
From when Tea almost jumped off the window, with Kalen terrified poor boy, to killing Daisy (her own free and light sister T.T), to not remembering a second suicide attempt
Black heartglasses being associated with violence, and Tea's one turning because of what other people did to her
Tea' simple "I want to live", can't a girl have peace? Be free like the azi? Have daughters with her eyes and her singing voice?
"I felt the hatred you were capable of like it was my own. And in that instant, I loved the darkest part of you, because I understood, better than Fox or Mykaela could. I’ve known you at your worst." If this isn't love I don't know what is
Drunk Tea was a sight to be hold, and perfect: take off every filter from the dangerous Dark asha and what she has to tell you is how much she loves Kalen
“I don’t care. I’ll bring us back from the grave if I have to, silver heartsglass or not.” “And I will kill anyone standing between us,” he promised, before his lips closed over mine, “even if I have to crawl out of my grave to do so.”
And you know what? THEY DID.
Tea taking her trials, which after the last chapters were nothing worse than her nightmares: her home burning, her own execution could not compete with Daisy's death and Fox rejection
But Kalen was not a price she could ever think of paying
"You can’t break the rules simply because you want to. More often than not, the rules wind up breaking you."
“The world is a much bigger place than the space I occupy, and with even greater consequences.” “There will be no world if you aren’t here with me, Kalen.”
Yadoshans warm my heart
"That is the nature of tyranny, young Tea. Maintaining power is their sole intention. Why worry about retaliation and revolution when they have always intended to wield the sword?"
The whole part in which they killed Kalen and the azi, ripped my heart out
The song she must have sung for hours, and the azi waited until the end to say goodbye
Thank the Creator for the visions she got, or she would have really drown herself T.T
“Sons and daughters,” she echoed, “sons with my fire, daughters with my eyes. Mayhap one day, they will. A life worth dying for is a life worth living after all.” She laid a hand on her companion’s shoulder, squeezing. “Let’s go, my love.”
Even after this long list I feel like I didn't do justice to this trilogy or to how much I loved it. Tea's fierce and kind strenght, even when every one but Kalen was suspicious of her, even when she was going mad because of poison, even when she was trying to outsmart a ruthless enemy, did something to me.
I spent three books knowing that she didn't care if she survived, if she could save her friends then her wish to live was not important. She didn't want much, she just wanted to live. But she let go of that for everyone else. Yes I'm going to cry again.
About the ending I like to think that for finally healing the world she was rewarded, so she got the quiet life with Kalen she'd always deserved. I like to think that she and Kalen remember, that after they'd done enough they finally found their peace and freedom.
They were together, they got to be someone else and had all the time in the world.

THE SPRING THAT THAWS WINTER - “Game of Thrones” and “The Chronicles of Narnia” Crossover
Summary: The Kings and Queens of Narnia found a new world: a place that is also frozen, where people can't be trusted, where a war is approaching fast...
If they are there, there must be a reason. How can the Pevensies help the North?
What is their purpose in Westeros?
***
Notes: After one loooooooong and cold winter, I’m back here T.T
Please, don’t hate me. I’m sorry it took me this long. I trully am.
This story is incomplete, but you can find all the available chapters here.
***
Chapter 13
“Peter.”
“Lady Sansa.” He nodded at her. “Have you seen my sister?”
“As a matter of fact, I’ve just seen her.” She informed him. “She was feeling indisposed, so I asked for some tea for her and now she’s resting.”
“Thank you, my lady.” He nodded once again. “I’m going to talk to her.”
Sansa stepped into his way. “What part of ‘she’s resting’ you didn’t understand?” She asked, arching an eyebrow at him.
Peter cleared his throat. “I understand, my lady. But I really want to talk to her.”
“Because my cousin kissed her?” She pressed.
Peter pressed his lips together, and took a deep breath. “Yes.” He practically growled out.
Sansa had to fight off a smirk. “Susan needs a minute. And I…” She pressed when he opened his mouth. “…need company.”
That made him pause. “Company?”
“Yes.” She confirmed. “I need to do some things around the keep and I haven’t found Brienne.”
“I know what you are doing.” Peter informed her, though he looked a bit amused.
Sansa gave him her most polite smile, the one she saved for lords that were particularly annoying. She knew he could see through that smile and that he loved it. “So I should look for Brienne?”
Peter grinned. “Not at all, my Lady.” He made a gesture for her to go ahead.
“Your arm.” She asked.
Peter was surprised by the request but was quick to comply. “My Lady.”
Sansa took his arm gently. Now it was up to Susan to talk some sense into Jon, before he brooded himself to death over a kiss.
***
Jon sighed once he heard the knocking on the door. “Can you, please, tell them to go? If it is Peter tell him I left Winterfell.”
Davos snorted, but went to dismiss whoever was at the door. He was slightly taken aback when he found out it was Susan who was there. “Lady Pevensie.”
Davos heard something falling to the floor, but he chose not to look and see what it was. “The King is…”
“He’s seeing me right now, Davos.” She told him, her eyes firm on his. “If you would be so kind and leave us alone, I would appreciate it.”
“Davos!” Jon called from inside.
“My Lady.” Davos nodded at Susan, let her get inside and left, closing the door behind himself. Let the kids solve this themselves.
***
Davos was extremely lucky that Jon saw the man almost as a father, otherwise, he’d be in a lot of trouble right now.
Susan just stood there, looking at him, as if she wanted him to be the first one to say something. When it became obvious this wasn’t about to happen, she sighed. “Did you plan on hiding here and brood until Winter ended?”
Jon cleared his throat. “I might’ve left earlier, because we have to face the White Walkers.” He grumbled.
Susan snorted. “I thought as much. It is good to know you still have your priorities straight.” She then gave him a look. “Now that I’ve come and invaded your space, are we going to discuss what happened?”
Jon took a fortifying breath and turned fully to face her. He was not a boy to run from things like that, he was a man and should act like one. He’d kissed her in a completely unappropriated way; there was no excuse he could give to that, however, he could make things right.
“Aye. I would like to apologize, Lady Susan.” Jon told her seriously.
As soon as she arched that eyebrow, Jon knew he’d messed up somehow. He just didn’t know how.
“So you believe you’ve done something wrong and you regret it.” It wasn’t a question -Jon knew that much -but it was pretty much a trap, just waiting for him to fall right in.
“I…” Jon cleared his throat, then sighed. “Lady Susan, you know I’m bad with words, and you make me nervous.” He confessed. “I’m not sure if I’m saying the right thing here.”
Susan huffed a breath. “I don’t want you saying what you think I want to hear.” She indicated. “That’s never what I’ve wanted. The only thing I want to hear right now is the truth, what you really think and feel. Nothing else will do.”
“I don’t have a lot of experience with… Ladies.” He cleared his throat again. “I went to the Wall and became a member of the Night Watch fully aware that I would never marry. The first woman I loved was a wildling and she was the one who approached me.” He admitted. “I never planned on meeting Ygritte, but things happened, and despite the pain… I don’t regret them. I know people say I’ve had something with Val, but it’s not true.”
He finally looked at Susan. “I am not the diplomat of this family, this is why having Sansa by my side is essential. I am terrible at talking about some things, and this is one of them: talking about how I feel is difficult. For a long time, nobody cared or asked. I’ve learned to keep it all inside.”
He ran his hand through his curls. “I know you deserve some explanation from me, and I plan on giving you one, because I didn’t act honorably today. However, I need you to understand that I’m not trying to escape it; I just don’t know how to say what I feel.”
He finished his rant, and just waited for Susan’s reaction. She’d been awfully quiet the whole time, and it was worrying him. He felt somewhat embarrassed of talking like this in front of her; Susan was the perfect lady and she was exceedingly good at talking to people and getting her point across.
Right now, he felt like a child trying to argue with a scholar: stupid and unprepared.
She took a step ahead. “I don’t think I’ve ever heard you speaking that much before.” She told him softly, before taking another step forward.
Jon felt his cheeks heating up, once again feeling like an idiot. “Well, I’m sorry…”
“No, stop.” She told him gently, but firmly. “It was not a criticism. There are many things that we still don’t understand about each other, and this is likely one of them. But I like the fact that you told me all of this; you don’t have to be quiet and bottle your feelings inside. You have a family that loves you, and would happily hear you out. You know it’s true.”
Jon nodded, eyeing her warily as she came even closer.
“I didn’t think you’re hiding from me because you didn’t want to face the consequences of what you did.” She told him, once she was close enough. “I believe you were here exactly because of the opposite: you were preparing yourself to be attacked, likely slapped by me, punched by my brothers and accept it all. You feel you did something wrong.” She indicated.
“I…” What could he say? She was right. “Aye.”
Susan was analyzing him, carefully now. She took notice of everything: the slope of his shoulders, how he seemed to be fighting to keep his eyes locked on hers.
“But it’s not because you kissed me.” She guessed. “You don’t think this is what you did wrong.”
He was startled. “I shouldn’t have kissed you like that.” Jon spoke firmly.
“But that’s not the problem.” She insisted. “The kiss isn’t the point. It is the fact that, for the first time in a good while, you did exactly what you wanted.”
That gave Jon pause.
“You didn’t do what was best for the North, or your people, or your family. You did exactly what you wanted for a second, and that makes you feel guilty.” She was looking deep into his eyes now, and Jon couldn’t turn away, even if he wanted. “You’ve spent so much time in your life doing things for the others, because it was the right thing to do, the honorable thing, that now you feel selfish for doing something for you.”
Silence.
“Am I right?” Susan asked, once Jon just stared at her for a while.
“Aye.” He eventually answered. “You are.”
“You wanted to kiss me?” It was a question, but not exactly. Actually, Susan was ready to affirm it, just say he wanted to kiss her, but in the end, she’d felt doubtful about her own sentence.
“Aye.” He said again. “But it doesn’t change the fact that I shouldn’t have.”
Susan frowned. “Why?”
“Because I would’ve liked to have done it differently.” He confessed, looking at her lips for a second. “Not in the middle of an argument in a cold forest.”
“Oh.” She hadn’t been expecting that. “And…” It was Susan’s turn to pause and blush. It had been some time since she felt like this talking to a man. “How would you have prefered it?”
Jon took the next step, making his body almost flush against Susan’s, but not quite. He cupped her face - glad that this time there weren’t gloves in the way and he could feel how silky her skin truly was -and brought it closer to his. “Like this would’ve been better.” His nose brushed hers. “Do you have any objections?”
Susan’s eyes closed on their own. “No.”
“Good.” He murmured, then kissed her.
***
“Queen Lucy. Come in.”
Lucy paused and hesitated, just outside Bran’s chamber. She’d had very little contact with the younger Stark, but she had a feeling that most of them gave him a wide berth. Lucy had heard some peculiar tales about him.
According to Sansa, Bran had even ‘predicted’ their arrival in Winterfell, and he knew about Aslan and Narnia. However, how much he actually knew was debatable, because he only revealed as much as he wanted.
Lucy wasn’t exactly scared of him… But she wasn’t also fond of the idea of being alone with him.
But then again… She wasn’t a coward.
She walked in and stopped by the door. “Have you called me, Lord Stark?” She asked cordially.
“We need to talk.” He told her, his unseeing eyes focused somewhere on her vicinity, but not quite on her.
“What about?” She asked coming in, leaving the door ajar behind herself. She looked around, but Lady Meera was nowhere to be found. She wasn’t sure she liked that.
“The battle that is coming.” He was silent for a second, then his eyes became brown again. “And your part in it.”
“Mine?” She asked carefully.
“Your and your siblings’.” He nodded. “You are here for a reason, and you’re essential to our victory.”
“I see.” She spoke slowly.
“I can’t see what will happen; it’s dangerous to try to guess the future.” Bran continued. “But if you do not fight by our side we are doomed. Not just Winterfell, but everything in Westeros shall freeze in a winter crueler than anything you’ve ever seen.”
“I’ve seen some harsh winters, Lord Stark.” Lucy pointed out.
“Yes, and that is why you’re here. You and your siblings are the bringers of Spring.”
“We’ve already said that what happened in Narnia was due to a prophecy.” Lucy indicated. “We don’t claim to have magic powers.”
“You have more power than you imagine.” He broke his gaze from her, turning to look out the window. “In the end, it will come back to you, and the choices and sacrifices you are willing to make.”
“Me or my siblings?” Lucy demanded, but there was no answer. “Bran?”
His eyes were white again.
***
Susan had poems and sonnets dedicated to her beauty, men willing to fight duels for her hand. She had suitors that had offered enormous riches for a chance with the Queen; beautiful words sang to her, gallant gestures performed in her name…
And yet, none of it, felt like this.
She may have had men falling to her feet and professing to love her and wishing to marry her, but she’d never been kissed before. She’d never been held before, not the way Jon held her.
Deep inside her there was this voice, the reasonable one that made her the stick-in-the-mud of the family, telling her this was a bad idea. They were from different worlds, and here he was a King; there could be no promises between them. Kissing Jon was a stupid idea, one that her heart would pay for in the future.
However, Jon had been holding his feelings inside his chest since forever, and Susan had been the rational one her whole life. Maybe what they were doing wasn’t the smartest choice at the moment, but they’d earned it.
She could barely name it. She’d been butting heads with him since the beginning, and many times she’d wanted to shake him for being so… Himself. Susan wasn’t rash enough to claim she loved him. This wasn’t love, not yet at any rate; however, it was so full with beautiful, glorious potential, that it felt wrong trying to ignore it.
There was something when she looked at him, something that begged Susan to jump in.
And that was what she was doing now.
The kiss on the forest had been angry and intense; not exactly bad, but Susan didn’t think first kisses should be like this. First kisses should be like this one: all calm and exploration.
Jon kissed her softly not because he thought she was breakable, but because he was memorizing the curve of her lips. His hands cradled her face, then found her hair, and only later went to her waist. When he bit her lower lip, it was a sweeter kind of bite, not an angry one.
Susan had no idea how long they spent there, just tasting each other lips and holding onto each other; but once they broke apart, Susan wasn’t sure she was even in Westeros anymore.
“Much better.” Jon murmured against her lips.
Susan let out a surprised chuckle. “I have no complaints at this point, Your Grace.” She teased.
“Is it like your songs told you it would be?” He pressed his forehead against hers.
“I do have one song in my head now…” She admitted.
Jon chuckled. “What would that be?”
She cradled his face with her hands. “Drink to me only with thine eyes…” She murmured, her eyes on his. “And I will pledge with mine.” Her eyes dropped to his lips. “Or leave a kiss within the cup,” Her lips brushed his with every word she said. “And I'll not ask for wine.”
“I like this one.” He kissed her again.
A knock on the door made the pull away to some respectable distance. “Come in.” Jon called.
A maid entered, looked from one to the other, then cleared her throat. “Your Grace, Lady Lucy requests to talk to you and Lady Susan.”
“Is something wrong?” Susan asked concerned.
“I don’t know, my lady.” The woman said. “But she seemed a bit agitated.”
“Your Grace…” Susan turned to Jon, clear worry in her eyes.
“Go find your sister.” Jon told her. “I’ll wait for you two in my solar.” He turned to the maid. “Has she asked anyone else to be present in this conversation?”
“She asked for her family and yours, Your Grace.” The woman informed.
“Tell them all to come to my solar.” He told the woman.
She curtsied and left.
“I need to find her.” Susan decided.
“I’m sure everything is fine, Susan.” Jon assured her. “But go. I’ll see you in a while.”
Susan hurried to the door, but then paused and grinned in his direction.
“What?” Jon asked confused.
“Can you imagine a better moment to have our families together in a closed room?”
Jon groaned.
***
“Sansa! Peter!”
They stopped as Lucy hurried in their direction. “Is something wrong?” Peter demanded.
“I need to talk to all of you.” Lucy said as she reached them, she was breathing hard.
“What happened?” Sansa asked, now extremely concerned.
Lucy opened her mouth to reply, then saw that Sansa and Peter were arm in arm. She gave them a look. “Am I interrupting?”
Sansa cleared her throat and let go of Peter’s arm. “No. Your brother was just keeping me company.”
“I see…” Lucy drawled. “I talked to Bran.”
“Bran?” Sansa seemed shocked by the information. “Voluntarily?”
“He asked to speak to me.” Lucy clarified. “I want to get the others and discuss some things.”
“Like what?” Peter asked.
“I think it’s time we discuss Narnia.” Lucy admitted.
Peter was caught by surprise. “Lucy…”
“It is time, Peter.” She said, her decision unshaken. “Because things are about to go terribly wrong.”
“My Lady!” Sam came around the corner, hurrying to Sansa. “A letter from Dragonstone.” He declared, barely able to catch his breath.
Sansa traded looks with the others. “Is this…?”
“I think it is.” Lucy spoke in a small voice.
The first signs of the storm ahead.

Take My Hands Now (Part 10)
pairing: Jungkook x reader
word count: 2,670 thereabouts
genre: drama, angst, romance 
summary: You were born with a condition that allowed you to feel the pain someone else was going through when you touched them. Jungkook, on the other hand, looked like he could not be any less bothered with other people’s feelings and was a well known playboy of the school. One night, at a party, while he attempted to turn you into his toy for the night, he grabbed your hand and pain crashed through you, making you wonder whether behind the facade of this pleasure seeker, he could also be hiding something.
warnings: none 
Song rec: She’s In The Rain - by The Rose 
Comments: There’s a random Korean line right at the end because I really wanted to include it but I have no idea what’s the best way to say it in English T.T I tried to translate but it’s not 100% to my satisfaction... if anyone can help perfect that I will be so grateful <3 
Previous Parts: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5 | Part 6| Part 7 | Part 8 | Part 9 
Tumblr media
Jungkook woke up in their practice room lair, with a fast asleep Hoseok lying next to him on the couch, hands draping over Jungkook’s body. He pushed Hoseok onto the floor, stirring him awake. As Jungkook moved to sit up, his head was pulsating, the hangover catching up to him.  
Hoseok rubbed his eyes as he sat on the cold floor. “Not the type of morning I was dreaming of... waking up beside another man”, he muttered groggily and he dragged his body back onto the couch, lying stomach flat on top of the pillows.  
Jungkook got up to make space for him. He walked out to the bathroom, splashing a handful of water on his face to sober up.  
---
He recalls storming out of his house, with his mind consumed in a complete vacuum from the conversation he just overheard. His parents had both saw him at the door when Hoseok let out a tiny gasp behind him. Jungkook paused outside the giant metal gates of his house. Waiting.  
But the voice that came was not what he waited for. “Jungkook!”, shouted Hoseok.  
Jungkook clenches his jaws, deeply inhales and closes his eyes out of torment. When his eyes fluttered opened again, he stalks off towards nowhere.  
“Hey, wait for me!”
They ended up in a posh club in town. Jungkook downing shots after shots, partying harder than he usually would. He entertained almost every single girl who approached him. Luring them in, taking what he needed from them, be it attention or affection, and then throwing them away.  
“Jungkook!”, a girl’s shrill voice pierced through the music as she landed herself next to him on the sofa he was resting on. Was she the third one tonight? Or the fourth? He was sure he had lost count.  
Jungkook doesn’t recognise her, “You know me?”
“Of course I know you, the famous Jeon Jungkook”, she laughed.  
“At least you know me...”, his smile at her, although drunken, would have made every heart in that place flutter.  
Hoseok who had been watching him worriedly the whole night decided that this was enough; Jungkook was either way too drunk or on the verge of losing his mind.  
“That’s enough for tonight Jungkook, let’s go”, he demanded as he dragged his friend away from the woman still clinging onto him.  
“Where are we going? I just found someone who knows me!”  
“I know you too buddy! Come on, let’s go!”, Hoseok yelled at a struggling and staggering Jungkook.
“Heyyy Hoseokkkk, get me another shot... I want one more...”, Jungkook was whining like a spoilt kid.
“Alright, ok ok, I'll get you everything you want, let’s just get out of here first.”, Hoseok tried to pacify him while taking his uncontrollable friend back to the school lair.  
---
Jungkook stared into the mirror at himself for a long time, he looked at himself up and down a few times. What should he do now? Since his mind was no longer working, he’ll let his heart dictate – his heart which must already have started to decay.  
---
A few days have passed since you had the conversation with Jungkook at the bus stop near Yunsu’s place. He never came to find you again. Well, to be fair, you did tell him to leave you alone and never retracted it. For the past few days, you couldn’t stop thinking about what he said.  
It was true that you could feel someone’s pain, but that does not always mean you understood the meaning of it all. You always thought your condition allowed yourself to stand in someone else’s shoes when it came to the hurtful things in life. But it was far from it.  
Even if you know how it felt like, you would still never truly know what those feelings mean to that person.  
---
Hoseok walked into the book store and spotted you at the counter in your daze.  
“Y/N”, he solemnly approached you.  
You jumped up from behind the counter. “What are you doing here?”, you asked cautiously, reminiscing the last time he came to find you here to satisfy his ulterior motives.  
He frowned in response to your tone, choosing to ignore your hostility. “I haven’t been able to contact Jungkook for quite a few days. Just came to check if he appeared around here? Although the chances are pretty low... but I have tried looking everywhere”, he murmured listlessly.  
“You guys fought?”, you asked.  
He looked up in slight irritation. “We did... that night after you left his birthday party. Not this time though. So, I guess you haven’t seen him either?”
You shook your head and he nodded, turning towards the door. He walked a few steps away but then he turned around, marching back towards you again.  
Staring closely into your eyes, he decided to tell you, “Something happened to him. He's definitely not alright. He turned off his phone for the past three days and I haven’t seen him around in school or anywhere which we would usually go.”
Concern started to grow within you as well, “Maybe he’s just at home? Have you checked?”
“That’s the last place he would be... I was there with him when it happened... at his house... he won’t be going back there any time soon.”  
So... something happened to him at home?  
“Whether you still wish to believe me this time, that’s up to you. As much as I hate to admit it, between the two of us now, he might want to see you more than me. But he’s still my best friend, and if he comes to look for you, or if you find him anywhere... just let me know whether he’s ok”, he relented. You were stunned as you watched him leave for real this time.  
Good thing your mind was still operating though, “Hey Hoseok!”, you shouted after him. “I don't have your phone number yet... if I see him I'll let you know.”  
---
You tried calling Jungkook and messaging him a few times after Hoseok left, as expected to no avail. Where could he have gone?  
The next day you waited and waited to see if he would appear at the lecture. “Are you possessed by a meerkat?”, Namjoon wrote on a piece of paper and slid it over your lecture notes.  
You side-eyed him with the best death glare you could pull off and he leaned over saying, “Your neck’s gonna break at this rate. He's not here and it doesn’t seem like he’s coming at all, the lecture’s ending in fifteen minutes.” Namjoon was probably right.  
---
Your phone buzzed in your pocket as you were arranging a new row of books, you threw everything down instantaneously to check who it was, but it was just an advertisement from the ice cream place up on the second level of the mall.  
As you were putting your phone away in disappointment, this brought back a memory to you. When Jungkook was talking about his father once, he had told you about how he fancied this one ice cream place near his elementary school, because his father used to fetch him from school and then they would hang out there. You mind flashes back to the conversation:  
“Remember I told you he became the CEO after I turned eight years old? And he never came to fetch me again. But I still go there from time to time, whenever I feel like being reminded of those times.”  
“Can’t imagine a guy like you just sitting around having ice cream. Isn't your heart already cold enough?”, you joked.  
“Very funny Y/N.”, he replied, cocking up an eyebrow at you.  
You texted Hoseok, asking him if he knew where Jungkook’s elementary school is. He replied you almost immediately with the answer and questioned why you were asking.  
“I have a hunch on where he may be... but I'm not exactly sure where it is, I'll just give it a shot. Let you know if I find him”, you replied to Hoseok.  
---
You clocked out early and headed down to the vicinity of the school address Hoseok sent to you. You searched for a list of all the ice cream parlours nearby and there were about eight of them pinned onto your map app.  
It’s going to take a while to get to all of them, so you hurried on your way, hoping none of them would close before you reached them.  
The first one you got to had a bright pink interior, it was filled with school kids, mostly girls. The second and the third places were close by, but none of them had any signs of the man you were hunting for. You ploughed through another three stores, glancing inside quickly through the huge glass windows and leaving whenever you failed to spot him.  
It was the second last shop on the list, and you saw that they were supposedly closing for the daygiven that it was almost 10pm. You ran towards it and through the glass door, ignoring the greeting of the girl at the counter, frantically scanning the place.  
Even you were shocked by yourself when you saw the familiar silhouette you had been searching for the whole day. There he was, sitting at the far end, by himself in a corner. Amazing that your guess was actually right.  
You walked over to him, and stood next to the table he sat at, really minded to yell at him for turning off his phone and disappearing for so many days. The bowl of ice cream sitting in front of him looked untouched, it had already melted into a puddle of mint green goo peppered with brown chocolate flakes.  
His eyes widened to see you there. How did you find him here? Or was he just hallucinating now? He reached out his hand wanting to test whether you were really there but his finger hovered just a centimetre away from touching you.  
“I’m sorry, we are closing for the day, is there anything else you need?”, a young girl wearing the shop’s uniform asked politely from behind you.  
"No, it’s fine. Thanks”, you turned to reply to her.  
Before you managed to spin back to look at Jungkook again, he had gotten out of the chair and was blazing out the door. You ran after him, hopping down the short flight of steps outside the shop.
“Where are you going?”, you shouted towards his back view.
He turned around to face you and the way he looked at you, in the dusk of the orangey street lights, had you stopping a few feet away from him. “Where do you think I'd be going? You should know by now what kind of person I am, so stay out of my business.”  
His eyes were reminiscent of someone you knew not too long ago – you were watching him transform back to that same guy you met the first time.  
“You know that that’s a lie”, you snapped at him.  
“Do I? What do I know anymore? I don’t even know... so, don't pretend like you know me either”, his voice brewed over with annoyance and disdain.  
He turned to walk off again and you ran up to him this time, grabbing hold of his arm to stop him. He flung you off immediately and you stumbled back almost falling. He belatedly realised what he just did, but he did not apologise, he showed no emotions in fact, he had to keep it up.  
Yet he just couldn’t bring himself to walk away again without making sure that you were alright.
Once you regained your balance you quickly went back up to him, your eyes boring a hole into his face given the intensity you were staring at him.
“What happened? What's wrong with you? Why are you doing this again? Hoseok told me something happened to you at home. I’m guessing it has to do with your Dad, seeing that you are here brooding over ice cream. Right? You are not going anywhere until you answer at least one of my questions.”  
“The club, I’m going to the club. You asked where I was going just now, so I've answered one of your questions. Happy now?”, he said begrudgingly.  
You gaped at his attempt to escape, and you could already start to feel the pain quaking your heart from watching him put up his defences again.  
“Is this how it’s going to be? Fine, then I'll try to figure this out myself”, you declared as you took two steps closer to him, bringing your face so close to his chest that he could feel your breathing. You took his left hand in both of yours. Surprisingly you didn’t feel that much worse, your heart still hurt that much but your body hurt a little more than your heart did.  
He froze for two seconds, perhaps three, because he wanted to feel your hands holding his just that much longer. But eventually he tried to hurl your hands off.  
You were relentless, however, gripping onto his hand tightly. You lifted your head to look him right in his eyes, and he froze again. He knows you must be feeling it too, and he knows how horrible it feels. But he wants to hold onto you, he wants you to hold him like that. That is selfish of him, right?  
As time trickled, the feelings within you also built up; a feeling that reminded you of the times he first touched you but so much worse, like it was now piercing and clawing holes into you. Only this time you were certain – you couldn’t tell the difference anymore, which feeling was his, and which was your own. Which feelings came from you grasping his hand and which you felt just by seeing him broken like this.
You didn’t even realise that a tear was rolling down the corner of your eye. All you could see was the depths of hollowness in his. Even then you wanted to know, what this feeling truly meant to him.  
But he couldn’t bear to watch you any longer and with one forceful jolt, he yanked his hands out of yours finally. You staggered from the force and he fought hard to stop himself from reaching out to you again.  
“Leave me alone, Y/N. You of all people don’t need someone like me around. Ignore me like you said you would. Don’t come looking for me like this again”, he didn’t think he was capable of feeling any worse up until this moment. Pushing you away like this made him hate everything even more, the darkness pooling inside his mind overwhelming himself.  
“Stop telling me to leave, I’m not leaving until you tell me what is wrong!”, you rebuked with such determination.  
“I need you to leave!”, he suddenly shouted, “I would rather all of you leave me when I tell you to, at least then... I can tell myself...”, he paused, covering his face with his hand, trying to maintain his façade. He closes his eyes, swallows hard and inhales harshly as he tries to push all his emotions back inside.  
“Just leave, Y/N. If you are hurt too... I hate it...*”
(*너까지 아프면 싫어...)
And it dawns on you now. He was pushing you away. He didn’t want to have anybody. He was afraid of losing them. That feeling – it was not sorrow or anger. It was the trauma of abandonment, the feeling of loneliness, the pain of desolation.  
You walked up to him yet another time, unyieldingly. Just like the benign wind of the night, your arms wrapped around him. You slowly pulled yourself close to him, resting your forehead on his shoulder.  
“Even if it hurts, I’m not leaving.”  
---
♫ “You wanna hurt yourself, I’ll stay with you.  
You wanna make yourself go through the pain,
It’s better to be held than holding on...” ♫
