That One Random Guy Sitting Down in a Photo from the Civil War: USS Monitor Edition
Exhibit A
Tumblr media
July 9, 1862
I love this picture because everyone seems so invested in that one game of checkers (bottom right) except for the guy reading the paper. Also, if you look closely at the turret, you can still see damage done by the CSS Virginia (aka Merrimack).
Exhibit B
Tumblr media
July 9, 1862
Same day, different POV. I love the pots (I think they’re pots -- correct me if I’m wrong though). Also, if you look behind the guy with the pipe, there’s something laying down but  I can’t figure out what that is.
Exhibit C
Tumblr media
July 9, 1862
As you could probably tell, the Monitor had a little photoshoot on July 9. Aside from that, I swear that guy in the middle on the bottom with the jacket unbuttoned was uncomfortable in that position -- like it’s not natural. Also look at the guy with the glasses in the middle row, second from the left. The glasses look like they’re painted white which I find very funny
Exhibit D
Tumblr media
July 9, 1862
The guy on the bottom left (Name: A) is manspreading. Other than that...nothing too special about this one tbh. Although I like the way guy C is sitting (I’m sorry I don’t know their names but they’re all officers)

ohh okay! so to kick it off, can we get ateez members’ reactions to their very successful partner taking them to a company party like their trophy wife/husband/partner — not in a derogatory way tho!! but just like,, flaunting the members around and going on about how handsome and hardworking and amazing they are, even though everyone’s attention should be on their partner in that big event?
This is very different from the stuff I normally write but honestly I had so much fucking fun doing it. Like genuinely this made me smile like an idiot the whole time.
-
Hongjoong:
It's ur birthday or sum shit, but here's the dealio, he had some big work promotion at some smaller company. Most people haven't heard of it and it's nothing like the major corporation you work for so most people there just think of him as your trophy husband cuz he's so good-looking. while the party and presents were for you, you just could stop bring up how proud you were of him. He would immediately shut it down every time you brought it up, "yeah thank baby, I appreciate it. Hey, guys don't you think my baby is beautiful tonight?" Just won't let it distract from your attention no matter how much you bring it up. He doesn't think that he should be praised for doing what he should be doing. It's a nice sentiment and it makes him giggle but he wishes you would just let the guests congratulate you.
Seonghwa:
It's some work party on your behalf at your home. And Seonghwa planned the whole thing. Your not gonna deny you were just looking for a hot husband with social perks (read: rich parents and rich friends) but after meeting Seonghwa you genuinely fell so hard and so fast for how humble he was despite his wealthy upbringing, and you wanted to work even harder to provide him with the lifestyle he had always had at home. And he is happy to fulfill his house husband role for his doting partner. So yall are just happy and in love. Everyone at the party is your coworker and honestly, he would probably have just been your arm candy under any other circumstances, except you keep reminding people how great of a job he did getting everything set up. From a 5-star catering company to a live band, to imported wine from somewhere fancy, the whole thing took him weeks to put together and you will be dammed if he doesn't get the recognition for a job well done. He takes the praise blushing and mumbles quiet thank yous to all you and all guests who praise him, but he leaves it at that. If they ask him questions about the things around him he will keep his answers short and minimal yet polite before slipping away. Despite planning it, it isn't his party and he wants to keep it that way.
Yunho:
it's actually your friend's launch party for something or other. But you had a fair amount to do with the starting of the company as an investor and your friend had wanted to honor you as much as her. But here's the thing. Yunho's also pretty fucking cool, he doesn't have a permanent job, instead, he bounces around to all kinds of random things to keep himself entertained instead of just being at home all the time. the entire fucking time you're like "oh but have you heard what Yunho's been up to lately." He tries to one-up you with praise. Every time you say something cool he does, he brings up something cool you have done. And it just gets more and more intense as the night goes on to the point where the other giggles just fucking giggle cuz yall are so obvious in love.
Yeosang:
Yalls wedding is gonna be the social event of the year. You both come from very prominent families, but Yeosangs family got their money from fame not business. So when yall got engaged there was quite a bit of gossip about how "real" the relationship even was. Who the "throphy" was would change based on who you asked and it was getting annoying reading all the headlines. It was your wedding shower, and it was no secret that most of the people there were there for you and not him, but he couldn't care less. People kept coming up to you trying to talk business, and you were endlessly shutting them down because this was a day for both you and your soon to be husband, not for social climbers to try and get on your good side. The wonderful thing about Yeosang however is how much he can read you emotions even when you are trying to hide them. His course of action was simple. You both just fucking leave. You both had already talked to your actual friends and at a certain point you couldn't be bothered to keep up appearances with people who didn't respect both of you equally. So you left. Probably went and got some food in your cocktail attire. Much better use of time anyway.
San:
You're some kind of model or something. So it's like fashion week. So the whole time u have cameras shoved in your face and are being followed everywhere you go. But ur mans San is also incredibly beautiful, so you play a little game where whenever you go out all you do is put on sweats and a hoodie and you bring him out with him dressed in full fashion week regalia so the photographers are fucking confused who they are supposed to be taking pictures of. He thinks it's funny ao he plays along, wearing whatever you put him in and posing dramatically for literally every photo he can. You two go through the posted photos absolutely howling at them all night.
Mingi:
Your some big-time producer and Mingi is this like an underground rapper. Yall have been together long before you ever made it big and back before you got the job you lived almost exclusively off Mingi's part-timejob. But now the turntables have flipped and he can live mostly of your income allowing him to focus on his music and yall wouldn't have it any other way. But here's the shit. Some dopey fucking pop star you produce for comes over for dinner and makes a "joke" about mingi being a freeloader and you get so fucking petty. Especially after seeing Mingi's dejected face. So basically you help mingi produce a professional track and release it legitimately and not just on SoundCloud or in some shitty nightclub, and it fucking blows up way more than the other person music ever did and you just do nothing but talk up how amazingly talented Mingi is to your boss and he gets signed after the other person is dropped from the label. It's a great time.
Wooyoung:
Allow me to paint you a picture(this is a pun just wait for it.) Your an artist 😃 and Wooyoung is your husband and your muse. Almost everything you paint is either of him or reminds you of him. And your opening this big art exhibit and it's just this super fancy cocktail party with all the art snobs in the city and of course you bring him. As soon as yall walk in people immediately notice he's the guy in all the paintings and you're just like "yes isn't he stunning" and he's like "yes I am stunning" he's only half kidding. Whenever you go on and on to some art blogger about your muse he just sits there drinking it in with a smirk on his face, occasionally adding things like how you owe your success to his beautiful face. In that case, he's completely kidding cuz he knows damn well your talented enough to make anything beautiful with or without him.
Jongho:
ima say you married rich. You didn't have much growing up but Jongho has done nothing but spoil you. Despite the fact he came from a big business family, singing has always been his passion. When you begin to work in his father's company you rise through the ranks alarmingly quick due to your skill. It's some party for your father in laws retirement and everyone coming up to you betting your gonna be the next CEO. Here the thing though, Jongho left the company not long after you joined, so he could pursue singing and most people there haven't seen him since then and they keep giving him side-eyes, clearly thinking he threw his life away and he's just gonna be your "trophy husband" for the rest of his life. Not on your watch homie. You expected this so you and your supper supportive father-in-law set aside time for him to perform to the whole room and you're standing there all proud and satisfied as all your coworkers are dumbfounded at his amazing talent.

Teacher squad (Toshinori, Aizawa, and Hizashi) with a younger S/O that has the attitude and seductive voice like Jessica Rabbit. Love to read the Students reactions to it.
A/N: Used fem pronouns for this cuz its uh Jessica Rabbit lol. Anyway they turned out a little longer than I expected but I hope you enjoy it uwu ~Lily
PART 2
Tumblr media
ALL MIGHT / Toshinori Yagi
You and All Might have been together for a while now
It just so happens that he left his lunch box at home today
And since you were free, why not go give it to him?
You were a bit lost as you haven’t been to UA much but eventually found him
He was standing outside his classroom, about to go enter, when he heard you call out to him
He was a bit shocked to see you here
And that shock was visible to some of the students
They all started whispering, wondering what was going on
One or two of them probably caught sight of you as you neared the class door
This prompted even louder chatter among the students
“Who’s that?”
“Nevermind that. She looks really good.”
“Shut up Mineta.”
“She really does though”
“Everyone be quiet. This is disrespectful.”
All Might quickly poked his head in and told them to behave because he had “some business he needed to attend to”
This, of course, stirred the students even more
Cmon, their teacher who’s famous was approached by this young, very good-looking woman 
They obviously wouldn’t just sit around and stay quiet
Outside, you gave him his lunch box and a small peck on the cheek 
All Might opened the door and walked in
Before he could close the door though, you called out to him in that sweet, sexy voice of yours
“Enjoy your lunch honeybun”
All Might’s cheeks turned scarlet as he looked at his students’ faces
Some were confused
Some were shocked
Some immediately realized what was going on and started whooping
Then there was Deku, who kept berating himself for not knowing who you, someone close to All Might, was
All Might finally got them to calm down and explained everything, telling them to be respectful towards you and the subject entirely 
Once it was made clear, the class got a bit curious and asked a few questions about the two of you
The entire time, All might looked like a teenager, gushing over his girlfriend
Tumblr media
ERASERHEAD / Aizawa Shouta
Aizawa never expected to be with you for this long
And because of that he finally decided to show you around UA and introduce you to the other teachers/staff
Somehow, the students got word of your visit and tried to get a glimpse at the woman who owns Aizawa’s heart
Let’s just say they weren’t that successful
Oh they tried
Pretty hard
But Aizawa always did something that hindered them from properly meeting you 
He knows how they’d all react if he introduced you to them and well, he probably wasn’t mentally prepared for it yet
That didn’t stop a few students from standing outside the teachers’ room and trying to listen in on you guys
Jiro was among these people, and with her quirk, she got a pretty clear idea of how you sounded
And let’s just say she was a bit shocked to hear how hot your voice was
Just listening to the conversation alone confused her a lot 
Like how?? Did Aizawa, of all people, end up with someone who seemed as seductive as you
She, of course, told the rest of the students there what she heard and well…
They were shocked too
Most of them blatantly voiced their disbelief
They caused quite a ruckus
Which led to Aizawa coming out and shooing them all away
But before he could get them all to leave
You peeked your head out of the door 
Their reactions: 
awestruck➡shock➡confusion
You gave them a warm smile and turned to Aizawa
“So are these the kids you’ve been talking about, sho-chan?”
Those who disagreed with Jiro before were now staring wide-eyed at you
The same thoughts ran through everyone’s minds
This is the woman Aizawa-sensei’s with????
Yeah they fried their brains trying to figure it out
Aizawa looked extremely tired already
Cuz he knew the moment class started, he’d be bombarded with questions
But seeing the excitement and enthusiasm in your eyes made him smile a little
What’s a couple of questions from a bunch of nosy kids when he’s got you with him
Tumblr media
PRESENT MIC / Yamada Hizashi
You and Present Mic met through your hero agency
You weren’t a hero but a manager
And well, you were probably one of the best managers he’s ever come across
One thing led to another and before you knew it, the two of you got together
He was always going on about how much he loved your voice and how it contrasted with his
So anyway, today he was supposed to take his class on a tour of some hero agencies
So that they’ll get an idea of how being a hero works and all
It just so happened that the agency you worked in was the first one they’d be visiting
When they arrived, you greeted them and led them inside
Turns out you were going to be their tour guide for the day
Throughout their time there, you acted professionally and so did Present Mic
You led them around the agency explaining the different processes and basically how everything works
You also gave them many little tips they could use when they start working as heroes
Surprisingly, the students were well-behaved and paid close attention to every word you were saying
Neither you nor Present Mic were very surprised though
You had a beautiful and near hypnotic voice
It was one of the reasons the great Present Mic fell for you in the first place
About halfway through the tour, you brought everyone to the canteen for some snacks
While the kids did their thing, you and Present Mic stood at the back of the room talking to each other
Both of you were smiling and looking at each other sweetly
The students noticed this and immediately started shipping you guys
Cuz, well, that’s how they are
When you resumed the tour, you could tell the kids were a bit more excited than usual
Like when you held this door open for everyone and Present Mic smiled at you
A lot of them started whispering to each other in hushed and urgent tones
“Did you see that??”
“Ajdakjsd he smiled at her”
“Don’t you think they’d be cute together”
The two of you pretended not to hear them and continued with the tour
At the end of it, as the kids were getting onto the bus, you gave Present Mic a kiss on the cheek goodbye
The students who saw that freaked out
Their teacher had a lot of explaining to do…

Life As We Know It
Ransom Drysdale x Reader
Warnings: language, mistakes, shitty writing...(2.7k words shit)
A/N: this is for the nacho-baby weekly challenge @optimistic-dinosaur-nacho @captainchrisbaby​. Go check it out and support these loveliess!! <3
This is completely based on the movie:)
Master-list
Tumblr media
“I can’t believe you are doing this” Ransom scoffed sitting on the couch watching his best friend fixing his tie. Peter turned towards him and a frown. “What do you mean by that” 
“I mean look at you, we used to have so much fun but then you suddenly decided to get married,” Ransom said, making peter roll his eyes. 
“You are saying this because you have never experienced love but one day ransom you will be standing there trying to fix this damn thing and I’ll not help you” Peter spat, still struggling with the tie. 
Ransom stood up and helped his friend. “You know that’s not gonna happen. I don’t do this love shit.” 
“Yeah, I know. You are an asshole. I mean you even didn’t take y/n out that day ``Peter sighed remembering, setting him up with her to- be- wife’s best friend. 
“Oh god. Stop it, Peter, she was such a bitch to me, I was just an hour late and she insulted me in front of all those people.” 
Peter didn’t say anything, knowing Ransom wouldn’t accept his mistake…
-----
“Omg, Alice you look so beautiful.” y/n said, her eyes filled with tears to see her best friend getting married. 
“I’m so nervous, it’s time, right,” Alice said pacing around the room. y/n nodded and led her outside where everyone was waiting for them. 
There she saw ransom standing beside Peter as his best man and suddenly her mood was spoiled because of his face. She knew he was going to be there but she wanted to avoid him.
The ceremony started and when the priest announced them as husband and wife, ransom made a gagging noise, which to her surprise everyone laughed at. 
y/n shook her head in annoyance. He was such an asshole. 
The whole evening went without any hitch, ransom got busy with some chick and y/n was enjoying her time with her friends. 
And finally, it was time for speeches. Everyone made their speeches, even Ransom. y/n waited for everyone to finish, for her emotional speech. 
But when it was finally her turn suddenly a tipsy ransom started the music and danced interrupting her in the middle. She felt so mad and was ready to hit him when Alice pulled her into a hug.  It wasn’t the first time ransom was being an asshole to her, they had always been like this especially after the date, Peter and Alice set up for them.
 Everyone knew about the rivalry so they ignored the rude intrusion of Ransom.
 ~
The next time the two saw each other was on Sophie’s 1st birthday. Ransom didn’t want to go but for the sake of his friend, he went there and because he was the co-god parent as well.
On the other hand, y/n was excited and was preparing the birthday cake for Sophie’s birthday. Ransom and Peter entered the kitchen. Ransom was picking up Sophie and brought her near the cake. 
Sophie giggled seeing the bright colors on the cake. “You like it, baby. You like your cake” y/n cooed at her but suddenly barfed and started to cry. 
Fortunately, the cake wasn’t ruined but ransom was laughing loudly. Alice stood up and took the baby in her hands.
 “Omg this is hilarious,” ransom said, teasing y/n only to receive a deadly glare from her. 
“Oh you two, don’t start now. She must have overfed” peter jabbed in before they could start to fight. 
Everyone gathered in the living room for the cake cutting. Alice put Sophie in y/n’s hand and mentioned her to cut the cake. y/n looked at her in confusion but did it anyway. Peter also pushed ransom in their direction.
 “Go on, you both are the Godparents” And with that, they both grabbed Sophie’s hand and cut the cake. Everyone cheered, making the baby giggle. “Say cheese,” 
Alice said and clicked a picture of them. Everything was perfect, all of them were living happily. Sophie with her parents, ransom his bachelor life and y/n focusing on her career.
 But suddenly everything was shattered when both y/n and ransom received a call of the accident. y/n was in the hospital when ransom came and saw her. Her eyes were swollen because of crying. Ransom looked at her in questioning but she shook her head. 
The doctor came out and declared their friend’s death. y/n couldn’t control herself and began to sob.Ransom reluctantly, pulled her into his arms. 
They both were worried about Sophie, she was too small for all of this.
`------
The next day they were called by Peter’s and Alice’s lawyer to their house. They both were sitting awkwardly next to each other, waiting for the lawyer to explain things. 
And the things they had been told about blew their minds. “What?” they both declared. 
The man in front of them just nodded. 
“They made you both the joint guardians of her,” he told them again. 
“What does that mean,” ransom said. 
“How could we do anything. How are we both gonna take care of her?” y/n cut him off. 
“Well, it’s all up to you. But whatever you guys decide, just remember if you couldn’t take good care of her they’ll put her for adoption.” 
“They, who they?” ransom asked incredulously.
“Child protection services. They gonna observe you both for few months before you guys officially become her parents” 
“Parents? We are not even married” Ransom yelled. But he just shrugged in response and stood up to leave. 
y/n kept sitting in her seat, without moving. She was too shocked to understand anything. One second she was celebrating with her friends and the other, she was a mother? 
But Ransom’s condition was even worse than her. He was worried about his life, he never wanted to be a father, he never wanted to settle down. But it wasn’t an issue right. The CPS wouldn’t be satisfied with them both and… Sophie would go to some orphanage and then some family would adopt her. 
He didn’t know why but thinking about that made him feel worse than before. Sophie wasn’t an orphan, his friends made them her godparents. 
He looked towards y/n who was still sitting there. “What are we gonna do?” he asked, for the first time like a normal person. 
“I think… we should try this. For Sophie, for them” …
----
It was a tough decision, they both knew. But somehow they both started to tolerate each other. They still fight but not as usual.
And surprisingly ransom was enjoying this life, with Sophie. He was preparing the milk bottle for her because y/n was taking too long in the shower. 
Sophie was crying in front of the TV which ransom thought to switch on to distract her. “Shh... it’s okay baby, here I come” 
Ransom ran towards her with the bottle and took her in his arms. Sophie started to feed, with her eyes now glued to the tv screen. And suddenly it was peaceful.
y/n came downstairs after some time, her hair was still wet, and saw ransom sleeping in an awkward position with Sophie comfortable on his chest. 
It had barely three weeks since they were living together and y/n’s opinion about ransom was starting to change. He still was an asshole but he could be responsible too. 
He had helped her so much, always volunteered to take Sophie out whenever y/n would be working from home, he sometimes helped in changing her diaper as well. 
She walked towards them silently and bent to take Sophie from his grip. Her face was too close to ransom and her wet hair touched his cheek making him open his eyes. 
y/n’s breath got stuck in her throat when he opened his eyes. Ransom on the other hand didn’t understand anything that moment but then he looked down, their hands were touching as they both were grabbing the little girl. 
Ransom gave her to y/n and sat up. y/n turned towards Sophie’s room to put her in the crib. 
When she came back ransom was still there. 
“Have you eaten anything?” y/n asked as she was warming her food in the oven. Ransom shook his head, so she served him too. 
They both kept eating in silence. And for the first time, y/n thought maybe they could handle this whole guardian thing but god she was so wrong. 
The very next day they fought. 
It was evening when she was ransom getting ready to go out. 
“Oh, you are going somewhere?” ransom hummed without looking at her. “Well, take Sophie too then cuz I’ll be going soon too. I’ll have to meet a client” she said. 
“At this time?” he asked incredulously. y/n nodded and tried to give Sophie to him. 
“No, I’m going on a date okay. I can’t take her” he stepped back. 
“God ransom! Date?? I have a meeting to attend, can't you go tomorrow?” she asked but he just shrugged. 
“No, I gotta go, you change your plans this time” and before she could reply ransom went out of the house.
y/n let out a frustrated sigh and called her Eva, her colleague to ask her to keep Sophie for a few hours. 
But the time she dropped Sophie to her house and went to the meeting she was twenty minutes late. 
“I’m so sorry for being late Mr. James.” she apologized but the man just shook his head complaining how long he was waiting for her. 
Aside from that, the meeting went well and she came back home with Sophie. She was still pissed at Ransom. 
Couldn’t he wait for one day to bang a chick? She wanted to yell at him but he didn’t come home and eventually she fell asleep. 
It was past midnight when ransom came and saw her sleeping on the couch. He ignored her and went towards his bedroom locking it from inside.  He knew there was a war coming tomorrow. But now he was too tired to think anything so he just went to his bed…
------
The next morning ransom went to the kitsch where y/n was making her breakfast. “Can I have some too?” he asked, his voice hoarse from sleeping. 
“Go ask the chick you banged last night.” her reply made him annoyed. 
“Oh C’mon y/n, it’s too early for your shit” he scoffed which made her angrier. 
“My shit Ransom? I was humiliated last night because of you,” she yelled but before he could reply the doorbell rang. 
He turned away from her and walked to open the door. A woman dressed up professionally was standing there. 
“Hello, you must be Mr. Drysdale,” she said. 
“Ransom” he replied grumpily. 
“I’m Jenny, your CPS caseworker,” she said and walked inside. She looked all over the house, and ransom was internally panicking. 
y/n came outside and saw the woman. “Hello,” Jenny greeted and explained her reason to come. y/n and ransom sat in front of her, as if were in some interview. 
“Where is the baby?” she asked them. y/n got up with a smile and brought a sleepy sophie downstairs. 
Sophie looked comfortable with y/n as if she was with her own mother. Their behavior with Sophie satisfied Jenny but she felt them a bit rude with each other. 
Their answers were not the same about Sophie's routine. 
“Well, you don’t know that cuz I took her for check up last week.” y/n whispered angrily to ransom. 
“Oh so now you're gonna act as if I don’t do anything for her? I was the one cleaning her shit when you were too busy with your work but look I didn’t complain like you” 
But before y/n could reply back Jenny cleared her throat awkwardly making them look in her way. 
“Well, look, you guys are really good with sophie. Trust me I've seen so many worst cases but what I’m worried about is you two. If you couldn’t adjust with each other how you gonna keep Sophie as a family. So it’s better you decide to patch up or we could look for a new family” jenny declared and stood up to leave. 
“Two more weeks, before that, decide whatever you want."
y/n and ransom watched her go and sighed. y/n sat on the couch. 
“We can’t do this.” she whispered to herself. “We can’t be them, they were perfect, they never fought. And look at us.” she chuckled. 
Ransom frowned at her but agreed. “You are right. This was never going to work out. I’m even surprised I made up this far.” he scoffed. 
That day no one talked to each other. Even Sophie could feel something was wrong. She looked up at ransom and cooed gaining his attention. Ransom looked down and smiled at her. 
“D..da..d” she made, grabby hands towards him. His breath stuck in his throat hearing those words. Who knew someone would call ransom drysdale a dad? and he would even like it?!!
And that moment ransom knew there was no way he would let anyone take the single chance to live a happy life… 
-----
y/n was in her room packing her things. She thought she would be happy but she wasn’t. Living with ransom and Sophie became normal, just like they were a family. 
But they weren’t perfect, as a family should be. 
y/n was looking under the bed to find her things when she saw a box. She pulled it out and saw dvd’s and albums inside it. 
It was all Peter and Alice, the moments they captured. The wedding, honeymoon and when Alice got pregnant. 
“No Peter not blue” Alice yelled behind the camera. They were painting the baby’s room. 
“But she will love blue sweetheart. Not all girls are the same” peter argued. 
And then the video ended with their silly arguments, just like her and ransom. Wait, did she just compare her and ransom with them?
“So they weren’t perfect either” ransom voice came from behind. She turned to look at him, expecting him to wear a smug smile but he wasn’t. 
There was a weird sadness in his eyes. y/n shrugged. 
‘Does it matter. They are gone and now we will be too,” she wanted to cry for sophie. 
Ransom walked towards her and kneel down. “Last try? And this time not just for Sophie or them…. But for each other too?” his eyes were filled with hope. 
“This time, i won’t be late. I promise”  y/n chuckled, the tears spilling from her eyes. “You better not be” 
Ransom smiled and kissed her hand. 
------
Two years passed and the small arguments between Random and y/n were still there. But what’s the fun without arguments? These little things are what makes a perfect family.
“C'mon sophie come to me” y/n said. It was Sophie's second birthday and yes, y/n made the cake this time as well. 
Ransom chuckled seeing Sophie ignoring y/n and continued doing her thing. 
“Hey, princess come to me, it’s time to cut the yummy cake” hearing his voice, Sophie giggled and took small steps towards ransom. 
Y/n watched them with a wide open mouth which only made ransom smirk. 
“You know she loves me more, she even called dad first.” saying that ransom ran away before y/n could burst out on him. 
Everyone was present there, their friends, family, celebrating her birthday. It was the best time for ransom. So after eating the cake he walked towards y/n who was laughing with her friend. 
He tapped her shoulder making her turn. Ransom knelt on his knees and took out a hand. Everyone gasped seeing this. 
“Never in my life I thought I would do this, but y/n… you made me do this, you made me experience what love is. And now I want the same thing Peter did.” 
Sophie came from behind with a small black box and gave it to ransom. “So y/n y/l/n, Will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" ” 
Y/n jumped out of excitement and nodded her head. Ransom placed the ring on her finger and stood up to kiss her. 
Everyone cheered at the couple. 
She looked at her parents smiling at each other, a picture of them smiling was hanging on the wall from Sophie's first birthday.
And that moment both, ransom and y/n thanked their friends to choose them as the guardians...

Josslyn
Request: Harry imagine based off the song Josslyn by Olivia O'Brien?
A/N: This was in my inbox for a while, but I finally finished it! It got a little long but I really wanted to set up a backstory. Hope it’s what you wanted! :)
Part 2
————————————————————-
My leg bounces under the table, eyeing everyone walking through the door until my best friend Regan walks in. The first day back to school always felt like hell on earth. It would be more unbearable if my best friend didn’t have the same homeroom as me.
“I want to die,” she drops into the seat in front of mine and turns around. “Like literally. I can’t wait to be done with this dump.”
“We just do it all over again in uni,” My stomach turns remembering what our final year meant. I didn’t even know what I wanted to do with the rest of my life and I had to choose this year. It was a scary thought.
“At least there’ll be more freedom, I won’t be living with my crazy family, and,” she pauses ticking each item on her fingers, and wiggles her eyebrows. “All the hot guys.”
“Is somebody talking about me?”
We turn and Harry Styles, class jock, stands above us with a pencil behind his ear and a shit-eating grin on his face.
“If we were, you would’ve heard ‘major douchebag loser’,” Regan rolls her eyes. I give Regan a look like what an idiot and she ignores him to continue on about her dream school. As hard as I concentrate though, I’m too aware of Harry walking around and settling into the seat behind me.
It had happened, over the summer-we had hooked up. I can’t say it was a shining time for me, I also didn’t reqret it quite as much as one might think.
It was at a party I was invited to while Regan was visiting her grandparents in New Jersey and I was getting lonely. He’d cornered me, made me feel less alone. The hookup lasted a week, before we were off, and then another two weeks in August. I quit him-like a habit-the week before school started.
I confessed to Regan, she’d warned me to avoid him during the year if I wanted to have a decent final year. So I didn’t know if him showing up in the first hour of senior year was a good sign or an omen.
“You girls have a good summer?” Harry asks behind me. Regan locks eyes with me-she would handle it.
“You’re sort of interrupting our conversation here. Maybe you should find a new seat if you wanted to make friends.”
A small laugh escapes me, I couldn’t help it.
“Y/N,” Harry calls me out. “Have you forgotten how to talk or you’re getting shy on me?”
I turn around, he was way too smug. “Regan’s said it perfectly, why do you need me to talk.”
“Just making sure you could,” his eyes flash with humour before he says casually: “I wasn’t sure if you’d worked your mouth too hard this summer that it stopped working or something.”
My jaw drops and I hear Regan gasp.
“Yeah, like that.” Harry points to my open mouth and it takes everything in me not to slap him. But then he does a strange thing, his mocking smile softens into a genuine one. His eyes crinkling like we were on the ins of a joke and the angry flame softens at the curve of his smile.
There was this one weekend where his parents had left town and we’d spent the whole time just binging bad movies, under covers, learning every inch of each other. I never thought it would be a calming feeling waking up and seeing Harry’s sleeping face on the pillow next to me but I had stared at it for what felt like an hour until I’d poked him awake and he’s just pulled me in to sleep longer.
“You’re disgusting,” I tell him now, but it doesn’t have the same rage it would have last year. He’d worn me down, and I know he only liked to wind me up because he thought it was hot. He’d said as much over the summer.
I turn just as our teacher walks in and class begins. Harry gets in trouble for talking to his friends, I ignore the note he throws my way, we’re told it’s the most important year in our life thus far and I almost fall asleep halfway. Just a typical day of high school.
***
It was near the end of the first week, already I had an essay and a project due in two weeks and a thousand pages of math. I was just happy it was Friday and Regan and I were going to do our regular end-of-the-week detox: Starbucks and driving around town.
“Don’t hate me,” Regan says as I approach her car. “But Adam just invited me with his friends to the mall and I know we were supposed to hang out but this is maybe the first time he actually looked me in the eye and talked to me so-“
“It’s okay,” I interrupt her even though I was bummed. “You’ve been trying to get him to notice you all year so...finally! we’ll hang out over the weekend.”
Regan hugs me. “Really? You’re okay? You could come with us. Or I can drop you home first...”
“I can take the bus,” I insist. “We rode the bus last year remember?”
“Ugh, too soon,” Regan shakes her head. “I’ll make it up to you I promise. He’s calling now I’ll see ya!”
I wave her off and begin the slow walk to the bus stop, thinking of things I could do tonight by myself. Someone whistles to my right and I look up. Harry waves his hand, standing by his car. My face flushes as I remember the things that went on in that back seat.
“Where’s a pretty girl like you going all alone?” Harry shouts. I sigh and walk up to him.
“Do you ever realise how predatory you sound?”
“I’m king of the jungle,” he gestures to the school. “Why wouldn’t I sound predatory.”
I cover my face, “Omg please shut up Harry do you even hear yourself? You’re such a-an-ugh!”
“Hey,” his hand peels mine off of my eyes and he holds it in his grip as he walks backwards until his back hits his car, pulling me along. “What’s the matter with you? Didn’t we have fun this summer-why do you act like you hate me?”
His honesty shuts me up. “I-I don’t. I never said I hated you.”
“You sure act like it,” he crosses his arms. “You ignore me in homeroom, roll your eyes every time I say something...”
“We had a fling Harry, we’re not dating each other.” I shrug, trying to tug my hand away from Harry but he holds tight. “There’s nothing more to it. And to be honest...you’ve always been kind of annoying.”
“You’re kind of annoying,” Harry smiles again, tugging my sleeve to bring me closer. I don’t even resist moving into his orbit and settling between his outstretched legs as his arms wrap around my waist.
The truth was being with Harry was nice. He was a cocky jerk who knew he was desirable but when I was with him all the noise in my head died down for a bit and I existed in the present. That’s how he lived: for the now. And even though we were only more than friends and less than together forever, we had something between us. I just had to make sure my heart didn’t get caught up in between it. I’d had too many guys break my heart like I’d told Harry about one day when he’d driven us to a beach and we’d spent most of the day laying in the sun. Something about being there made me open up. He’d said he didn’t want to hurt me like the boys before. So we’d kept things light.
“You have any plans tonight?” Harry asks, his eyes shamelessly on my lips. I feel the familiar flutter in my stomach. Even though Harry would get with any body with boobs, it still felt nice to be looked at like this. By him.
“Not anymore,” I say. “Regan cancelled last minute so-“
“You’re free?” Harry sounds happy. I nod and he lets me go to move to the passenger door. “Get in, where do you want to go?”
“I...” I move to the car and sit inside, I told myself-and Regan-this wouldn’t happen and yet. It was. But Regan did ditch me for Adam so, maybe this was just the alternative. “Regan and I usually just grab drinks and drive around with music on.”
“Can I drive you somewhere?” Harry asks. I smile, of course.
***
Harry ends up taking me to a drive-in theatre. I’d never been to one and the excitement is all over my face. “It’s exactly like the old photos!” I squeal as he leans over and pushes my seat back. He does the same to his. “Have you been here before?”
“My family used to come here when we younger,” Harry smiles. I grin back at him and soon we’re locked in a staring contest because neither of us can look away. I open my mouth to say something but Harry moves forward, cupping my face to pull me to him. All common sense flies out the window as I get lost in his kiss. I tug at his hair the way he likes it and he presses me against the door as he kisses me harder, the handle jabbing my back but I didn’t even care. I’d missed Harry even though it had only been a week. His hands roam lower and lower until they stop as someone knocks on his window.
“Hello!” A muffled voice shouts from his window. We force each other apart. Harry looks at me with a drunken look on his face-eyes half lidded, a lopsided smile...and I’m sure I looked the same. We check who was at his door and it’s the girl bringing us our snacks.
“Harry?” She says as we roll down the window.
“Uh-oh-oh hey, Josslyn right? Long time!”
Harry grabs the drinks from...Josslyn, who looked familiar, and passes them to me to put in the dashboard holder we’d received when we entered. I keep an eye on the interaction as Josslyn goes from professional to flirty in under a second.
“Uh yeah because you never responded to any of my messages over the summer! How have you been? You look so good!”
“Yeah I’m good, I didn’t know you worked here?”
“My parents own the thing,” she glances back. “I have to work here when it gets busy.”
“No way,” Harry’s now fully interested in their conversation with his back to me and I feel a little left out. “I used to come here all the time as a kid did your parents own it back then?”
“Yeah! They took over from my grandparents. We definitely saw each other as kids cuz I was here all the time. Like every summer. I know every single lyric to every single summer hit from 1999 to present.”
“That’s impressive,” Harry laughs. I pick at the m&ms off the popcorn, feeling slightly jealous even though it didn’t make sense to be. Harry and I weren’t exclusive or anything, he wasn’t mine and I wasn’t his.
“Well I gotta go get the next order but we should catch up some time,” Josslyn puts her hand on Harry’s arm. “My number’s the same: if you’ve been ignoring my texts like I think you were then you should have it in your phone. Maybe we can recreate old times.”
With a wink, she’s gone and Harry clears his throat as he goes through his phone. His chuckle when he finds her texts irritates me.
“So like, do you have a lot of girls texting you that you just ignore?”
“What?” Harry looks up like he’d forgotten I was even there. “No, we just have some history. The texts were...funny.”
If I was a crazy girlfriend I would’ve demanded to see those texts but I was neither crazy or his girlfriend so I just look forward, kicking off my shoes and folding my legs into myself. I didn’t want to feel this way but I couldn’t help it.
“You’re not jealous are you?” Harry sneaks closer to me, clearly intrigued that I could be. But I don’t give him the satisfaction.
“Why would I be jealous?”
“Right?” He puts his hand on my knee and it tingles. “She doesn’t mean anything anyway. Just someone from the past.”
“Like me someday,” I don’t know what makes me say it. Maybe I was just moody.
He furrows his brow, leaning back in his seat. “Y/N,” I look over at him but he looks like he’s struggling for words. I raise my eyebrow and he holds out his arm. “Come here.”
“Where?” I ask, looking him over. He sighs and in a single move he’s put one arm under my knees and the other around my back as he tries to lift me while seated.
“Harry stop!” I can’t help but laugh as the stick hits my bum, my knees spill the overflow of popcorn, and we knock heads. “What are you doing!”
Harry laughs and motions to me, “Just c’mere!”
I oblige, twisting my body to straddle him in the front seat. I make sure not to lean back-I’d done that in the past and blared the horn. I’d learned since then.
“What?” I ask, pretending to still be upset but the ridiculous move minutes earlier had already washed it away. He moves my hair behind my ear and holds my face above his.
“You’re lovely,” he says and I melt. He knows it.
“I wasn’t jealous,” I mumble as he peppers my neck with kisses, “I just...” the words already slip away from me.
“Mhm,” he hums.
***
“Thanks,” I say to Harry. We’re parked outside my house and we hesitate to leave each other. The movie was fun, Harry was distracting throughout but that just added to the fun.
“Your parents home?” Harry asks innocently.
“Yes,” I roll my eyes. I check the time, it was nearly 11pm. I’d told them I would be home by 10 but I knew they would be asleep so I had pushed my luck. “Where else would they be?”
Harry shrugs, “My parents are out of town again.”
He scratches at a scab on his hand, hiding his face. After spending time with Harry, I knew his parents weren’t around much what with high profile jobs and travelling all over. His house was huge but empty and it made Harry make a little more sense to me then. Right now though, he just wanted to get me in bed.
“I’d invite you in but if you were caught, my funeral would be Sunday.”
“I’d come in a disguise,” Harry reaches for my hand and threads his fingers through it. “And jump into the grave after you, I’d be as dramatic as possible.”
“Harry you’re mistaken,” I say. “Your funeral would be the exact same day.”
Harry laughs and kisses my hand, “Then we’d just find each other in the afterlife yeah?”
I lean towards him and kiss him tenderly, I try to stop myself but it feels like I’m falling and I remember Regan’s words as I cave and sneak him into my room, hushing him as he bumps into every possible piece of furniture. But I forget it all the second we get under covers only to find him gone the next morning with a text promising me coffee on my front porch.
***
“Kiss any hot guys over the weekend?” Harry whispers in my ear Monday morning. It was a couple weeks since I’d snuck him into my room and we had been seeing each other pretty regularly. Harry sat with Regan and I at lunch sometimes despite her glares, and threw me notes often in class that were just bad drawings. But there were days where he would be distant and I would see him flirting with another girl. I would have to scold myself then, even though I was in his bed half the time we never said where we drew the line. Although I felt what I felt, I couldn’t expect any more from him.
This past weekend, Regan and I had driven to a few universities she was interested in and I could potentially be interested in. We’d crashed at a friend’s dorm before driving back Sunday afternoon. It gave me a small thrill that Harry might have been thinking about me kissing other guys even though he didn’t text me once.
“That depends on what you define as a hot guy,” I tease as I turn around but Harry looks annoyed.
“Oh,” he stares. “So you had fun over the weekend?”
His annoyance rubs me the wrong way, he could flirt with people and do whatever he wanted but he was annoyed at a joke? “Lots, not that you would know since you went awol yourself.”
Harry raises a brow but I just shrug and turn to the front. He was probably hanging out with other girls, not that I should care. But when it’s confirmed when Regan shows me the instagram story of someone she follows, I click through and find he was indeed. The picture shows him, a girl from our basketball team, and Josslyn on the beach getting high. My stomach churns for the rest of the day but I don’t dare bring it up. I just tell him we needed a break, maybe the distance would stop the obsession.
***
Harry was throwing one of his parties on Friday. With his parents gone most of the time it was the perfect place to host our class. This morning when he told Regan and I to swing by, I’d lingered behind and we’d made up. I was still nervous about the party, even though Harry and I were on again.
At the party, I hang out with Regan, Adam, and his friends for a bit. I talk to a few other friends and see some unfamiliar face. Harry catches up to me halfway through and apologises.
“I got caught up with everyone,” he says, his words softened with alcohol. I had seen glimpses of him with his friends, seen him flirt with a few girls when he came in but he ended up with me here so I don’t hold onto it.
“That’s okay,” I place my hand without a drink on his chest, feeling the steady heartbeat underneath. “You’re here now.”
He wraps his arms around me, “You’re staying the night right?” He whispers in my ear. It tickles and I giggle.
“As long as you don’t get too drunk.”
“So you won’t help me out if I get too drunk?” He pouts.
I laugh, about to say something but someone comes up to us in our private moment. Josslyn.
“Harry! Thanks for the invite!” Josslyn puts her arms out so Harry lets go of me to give her a hug. I try to wash away the possessive paranoia with my beer but I feel it creeping up. Josslyn glances over at me and I give her a smile.
“Hey,” I say awkwardly.
“Hi! You’re from the drive-in right?”
I was surprised she remembered me considering she didn’t even look at me that day. “Yeah, the same one.”
“Ooh,” she glances between us. “So are you two like dating or something?”
“Uhm...” Harry and I awkwardly look at one another as we try to find the right words. “Not really-“ I start to say as Harry says, “We just hang out...”
“That makes sense,” she flashes her eyes at Harry and I feel more insecure than ever. It reminds me that they did hang out together on the beach, maybe more often than I knew. Harry looks unbothered though. “So I can steal Harry away for a bit? You don’t mind? It’s been a while since we caught up!”
“I don’t own him,” I fake laugh even though I want to shout leave us alone liar!
I watch them leave, a sinking feeling in my stomach as Harry only glances my way before leaving. I stumble from group to group after that, finally locating Regan in a game of beer pong. I cheer her on and almost convince myself I was having fun but I continue to scan the room for Harry. My phone finally buzzes later in the night, Harry was upstairs asking me to come up.
“Harry?” I ask quietly as I knock on his door and peer around the corner. He’s laying on his floor shirtless and his room needs airing out. I sigh and open his window. “Where did you get the weed?”
“What? I didn’t do anything,” Harry says from the floor. “Where were you?”
“I was downstairs, at your party. You disappeared with Josslyn.” I can’t hide the edge in my voice.
“She shared her stash,” Harry says, his voice a low rumble. “We just talked about life.”
“Right, is this all she does?” It seemed Harry and her only ever got high together. “Did you want anything? I was watching Regan win and I’d like to go back if I’m here for no reason.”
“No wait,” he gets up slowly and walks to me, trying to kiss me but I pull away.
“I’m not interested right now Harry,” I push his arms off me. All I knew was he left with Josslyn and ended shirtless on his floor, high and alone. Who knows what they did.
“I was alone this whole time,” Harry tries to convince me. “She left a long time ago.”
“She left that too?” I point to a tanktop draped on his bed.
“That’s....that’s yours?” Harry says.
“Oh right, I forgot what my own fucking clothes look like.”
I stomp to the door but he calls out, “You’re making it a big deal! Nothing happened!”
I didn’t trust that. Not when he lied to my face like that.
***
At school on Monday, Harry tries to talk to me but I ignore him all morning. He forces me into an empty classroom and tries to win me over but I push him away as a teacher walks in and tells us to leave.
“Y/N,” Harry whines. “It’s not a big deal come on! She’s just an old friend!”
“Did you date her?” I demand, finally stopping by my locker.
“No I-we didn’t date. She’s just an old friend.”
“You keep mentioning,” I roll my eyes.
“Because it’s true, babe.” Harry touches my arm. “Listen. Nothing happened.” When I don’t respond he takes it as in invitation to ask if I wanted to do homework at his place after school. I tell him I’d see.
I end up going. We don’t do a lot of homework.
***
A couple weeks go by without a snag, I finally settle into a rythm for senior year and join the basketball team with Regan for our final year. I go over the endless decisions of what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, and on weekends, I would hang out with Harry at his place.
It’s our first game of the season and Regan and I are doing our warmups as we watch the bleachers fill with friends and our rival school.
“Will Harry be here?” Regan asks, although she still didn’t like him she had accepted she would see him from time to time.
“I thought he would. Maybe I should call him.”
I leave the loud gym and duck into the locker room. There’s only two other people, so I shuffle to the side and call Harry.
“Y/N,” he picks up on the fourth ring, he sounds out of breath. “What’s up?”
“Harry,” I say cautiously. “Where are you? I thought you were coming to our first game?”
“Oh shit uh yeah,” he sounds panicked. “I uh can’t-really uhm-.”
I hear a laugh and muffled noise, like Harry had dragged his microphone against his shirt. “Babe I can’t see you right now okay? I’ll swing by at halftime.”
“Oh okay...” before I can say anything he’d hung up. That was weird, unless I was overthinking it. But I remember the muffled noises in the back-he was with someone else.
I slowly put my phone back in my bag and look up, the one girl from my team, I think her name was Valentina. She stays near her locker but she’s obviously listening to my conversation. I don’t think much of it, and head out to find Regan. Screw Harry, we had a game to win.
I take my position as forward and Regan and I exchange fierce looks before smiling. I look around at our rival team, recognising a few from last year. And that’s when I realise why Josslyn looked familiar to me. She stands exactly diagonally from me, already looking at me-I remember her from semi-finals last year.
She narrows her eyes and I do a double take, maybe she was just being friendly competitive. But as the first quarter progresses, she gets aggressive, coming over to my side even when she should be on hers, and making sure to check me as she runs past. I glance at the referree but she doesn’t notice a thing. What was going on?
I ask Regan before the second quarter begins but she hadn’t noticed. She tells me she’d keep an eye out and once the whistle blows for halftime she runs up to me.
“She has it in for you, what did you do to her?” Regan whispers.
“Nothing!” I shout-whisper. “She’s an ‘old friend’ of Harry’s but I don’t know what I did to her...she hates me!”
“She wants to kill you Y/N, I have never-“
“Hey Y/N,” Regan’s interrupted by Harry who finally shows up. I continue drinking my water as he stands there uncomfortably. “Uh, I’m sorry I’m late?”
“Missing the first half isn’t late,” Regan pipes in for me. “It’s missing half the game.”
“Well...sorry for missing half the game,” Harry says but it doesn’t actually sound like he’s sorry. Just on the edge of annoyance. “Could I talk to you alone Y/N?”
I glance at Regan and let her know I was okay. She makes a show of being annoyed and goes to find Adam.
“What do you want?” I ask.
“To say I’m sorry,” Harry says again.
“About?” I raise my eyebrow. There was something he wasn’t telling me, everything about today was off from our phone call to the way Josslyn was attacking me on the court. Speaking of, I glance around and notice her staring at us.
“You know,” Harry doesn’t meet my eye. “Missing your first game and stuff.”
“Okay,” I watch the timer count down our halftime and I needed a water refill. “I’ll catch up with you later. Your ‘old friend’ Josslyn is here if you want to hang out with her!”
Harry stares at me like he’s trying to figure me out, my sarcasm lost on him. I raise my eyebrow which makes him stop. He kisses my cheek and walks to the bleachers. Weird.
***
When we switch sides, Josslyn must’ve negotiated with someone because she stands opposite me.
“Bring it on 15,” Josslyn calls me by my number as we wait for the whistle. She didn’t even know my name.
“Likewise,” I crouch down. “We don’t lose on home turf.”
“Too bad you already lost on home turf,” she says just as the whistle blows and she’s off. My head spins as I try to figure out what she meant and I end up missing a pass. My teammates shoot me a look and I try to focus. But Josslyn continues to taunt me and try to mess with me. By the end of it, we win by three and I gloat as much as I want to.
Until Valentina corners me in the changeroom.
“Hey, Y/N. I know we don’t talk much but can we talk? Girl-to-girl?”
I walk towards the windows and she follows. “What’s up Val?”
“I...don’t know how to say this. I’ve been friends with Harry for a while and Josslyn too...” As soon as I hear the name I realise it was her instagram Regan had shown me. And that’s why she was eavesdropping on the conversation. Her and Josslyn were friends. “...a couple times but you should know she doesn’t care he’s with you. I tried to tell her he had a girlfriend but she said he didn’t? I think they...hang out if you know what I mean.”
My ears ring as I stare at Val, what she’s trying to tell me. I couldn’t believe it, I’d been so stupid. Of course that’s what was going on.
“Thanks,” I say abruptly and turn around to grab my stuff from my locker. Letting Regan know I’d meet her at her car. My mind was heaving as everthing clicked into place. Harry’s party, Val’s stories that weekend I was away, how he had lied to my face...the other voice on the line when he said he couldn’t come to the first half. It was Josslyn. He was with Josslyn.
I’m still in my shorts, only having changed my shirt. But I storm out and find Harry at his car where he said he would be.
“Hey Y/N, where are we celebrat-“
“Josslyn,” I say and Harry shuts up. “You and Josslyn? Really? It’s one thing to do it and another thing to fucking lie to me for weeks!”
“Okay wait, can we talk somewhere-“
“No!” I shove Harry in his chest and he stumbles into his car. “I-I’m such an idiot! Everyone told me this would happen and I thought okay, he’s a player and a flirt but at least he doesn’t lie! But you lie like the truth is a chore, you’re scum just like everyone said you were!”
“Wait!” Harry shouts as I leave. “You can’t be this angry with me, it didn’t mean anything! And we aren’t even together Y/N!”
“You’re really playing that card?” I spin around. “We never drew the line but read the fucking signs Styles, I thought we made it clear how we felt. You didn’t even care at all did you?”
I ignore what he says and head back, towards Regan’s car to wait for her. People in the lot stare but I don’t care. And to make it worse, I walk past a group of the other team on my way to Regan’s car and Josslyn is one of them. She smirks and I want to strangle her.
“I told you you’d already lost,” she says as I shoot her a dirty look.
“It’s not called losing when he was never worth having,” I stick up my middle finger and use my rage to propel me the rest of the way without breaking down. As soon as I sit in Regan’s car, I break down. She doesn’t say anything, just turns up the music and we go for a drive.
***
Harry tries to speak to me. Through text or calls, he tries to pass me notes and tap my shoulder but Regan offers to switch seats and I accept it. I was torn between feeling absolutely nothing and wanting to cry into a tub of ice cream. Mostly I was angry, at Harry but also myself.
After practice on Thursday, I walk towards the bus stop with my gym bag bouncing off my knees. Regan couldn’t make practice so I didn’t have a ride, but I didn’t mind-I could use the time to clear my head....Until the very person I was trying to clear away falls into step with me. Harry.
“Y/N can we talk? You’re avoiding me and I feel really bad about what happened I just want to talk.”
“Nothing to talk about,” I pick up my pace.
“I’m sorry okay? I fucked up but we were never an item Y/N! We never said what we were. It didn’t mean anything with Joss.”
He hits the nail on the head, the same thing I was angry at myself about. I try to continue my steely silence but I couldn’t, not with the way he says her name.
“I know that Harry, we never said where we drew the line, but I’m sure you read the signs. You knew what we had was different. But I guess you had to go and ruin it just so you could get a quick fuck and I’m sure you had fun doing it too so I’ll leave you to her. I don’t care anymore.”
“Y/N wait don’t say that! Don’t give up on us! It-it wasn’t like that! I didn’t know...wait!” Harry falls behind as I continue speed walking but he catches up at the bus shelter. There’s no one else waiting so it’s hard to ignore him.
“Y/N, it just happened. I didn’t mean to hurt you, it just happened.”
I snort, not amused in the least. “You were hanging out with her whenever we were off, maybe when we were on too. It was bound to happen,” I turn and watch for the bus so I didn’t have to look at his face, “those things don’t just happen. They don’t.”
“Okay listen, we can take a break. If you want space I can give that to you. I hate fighting, Y/N you mean something to me. I don’t know what I was thinking, but I’m thinking now just please. I never said it before but you mean a lot to me, you’re different Y/N...I’m different around you and I-well I-“
“Harry,” I force him to stop. I didn’t want him to say the words out of desperation. Not like this. Not from him. I see the bus off in the distance, finally. “Harry you act like you’re the victim but you hurt me, you lied to me like telling the truth was a chore to you. You’re right though. I was never yours. I don’t want to fight...I just never wanna talk again.”
Harry opens his mouth to say something just as the bus pulls up. I turn to face him once more.
“Don’t call me, what we had...whatever is was, is over.” I turn as the doors open but not before saying: “I hope that it was worth it, fucking Josslyn.”
His mouth opens in disbelief, the same mouth I used to dream about when it wasn’t kissing me, and be consumed by when it was. The person I knew would ruin me but I thought might turn out different. The guy I toed a line with but will never cross. Especially not anymore.
I flash my card to the bus driver and hoist my bag onto my shoulder as I shuffle further into the bus. My legs ache from practice and my stomach rumbles as I sit. This was senior year, it’d been fun but this was my future. Harry wasn’t the kind of guy who was ever going to be in my future.
As the bus groans and moves forward, I look out the window. Harry sits at the bus stop with his head in his hands, maybe this was a turning point for him. Maybe he was going to change. Maybe he wasn’t. But I couldn’t stick around to find out. I decided I was going to move on, and leave him in the dust with his Josslyn.

Do you accept prompts? Cuz I had an idea about X27 in which Tsuna harmonizes with Xanxus and Xanxus just loves basking in his flames to the point where gets kinda drunk on them and it's adorable. Meanwhile Tsuna's guardians, the rest of the Varia, and literally everyone else is going wtf laince when did Xanxus turn into a cat?
So... I know I took forever but I hope you like this hahaha
I'm honestly happy with it.
(Sanity is overrated)
Summary 
Tsuna has come to believe, after years of Reborn induced chaos, that sanity is far too overrated. Also, cuddling your enemies is a valid strategy to win. You can fight him on that. Or don’t, Tsuna’s hugs are known to be the best. 
Story
No matter how much of his attention is being essentially sucked in by this fight, Tsuna can't help but be a little amused by the whole situation. Probably Reborn's influence, to be honest. Three years of absolutely crazy training and his sanity has no doubt cracked. In multiple places, all over the place. If one's being honest, Tsuna isn't even sane anymore. He's just very good at pretending that he is.
Woop, there comes the gun. Tsuna ducks under the attempt to brain him, steps into Xanxus's space and connects an uppercut into the man's solar plexus. Xanxus wheezes, folds forward until Tsuna is mostly holding him up. Big all over and hard muscles everywhere. How distracting. Not the moment Tsuna, concentrate. He wedges a foot between Xanxus’s legs and pushes the man back with his shoulder.
He’s expecting Xanxus to fall back, regroup somehow. Shoot at him. Again. Good luck to him, Tsuna has spent the last three years of his life being shot at by Reborn. Varia Commander or not, Xanxus has nothing on the hitman. Also, a part of Tsuna’s brain has learned to identify warning shots as expressions of affection and Xanxus sure is fond of them.
It’s mixing Tsuna up. Tsuna is a bit of a mother-hen with his people and, in his professional opinion as a manager of strange traumatized mafia guys, what Xanxus needs isn’t a fight over some stupid jewelry but rather a bed, some warm food and maybe some disguised or undisguised coodling. Tsuna doesn’t have that part pegged yet. 
Xanxus, however, decides to surprise Tsuna by not only actually falling but actively dragging Tsuna down with him. They end up as a tangled mass of limbs, Tsuna covering Xanxus with his body almost protectively, Xanxus’s head bracketed by Tsuna’s arms. Now, no matter what Reborn will despairingly say in the future, this is 100% Reborn’s fault. It is, after all, Reborn who has normalized violence to Tsuna.
Even more, it is Reborn who made Tsuna not only comfortable with being around guns but also made him feel all warm inside when they’re aimed at him. Therefore, Reborn’s fault. The point is that this is not a position Tsuna is unused to being in, the violence, the spar and then the almost aggressive start of what seems like a cuddle.
All of his guardians, not counting Lambo yet, do this. They fight him until they get exhausted and then drag him over them for protection and affection or something of the like. So when Xanxus falls instead of falling back and drags Tsuna over him. Tsuna reacts on instinct. He flares his flames wide, warm, comforting and inviting and smoothers Xanxus in them. 
Then, of course, he winces. Because it’s one thing to do this to his guardians and another all-togehter to do it to another Sky. A rival one at that. But when Tsuna moves to stand up again, Xanxus makes a tiny sound on the back of his throat, a little thing that could be complaint or longing and Tsuna hesitates long enough for Xanxus to tangle his hand on Tsuna’s shirt.
Alright, then. Tsuna licks his lips, smothering Xanxus in his flames with a little more confidence, and then he casts a look around, deciding how to move them. As nice as the position can be, Tsuna doesn’t exactly look forward to being run through by a sword or something if Xanxus’s guardians find them first. 
He ignores Xanxus’s slight grumble and rolls over, sitting on the floor among the rubble, with his back against the half destroyed wall. Xanxus, for his part, sighs like all of this is the biggest inconvenience to him. A deep, loud sigh that sounds so overly dramatic that Tsuna can’t help but smile. “Come here,” he guides Xanxus to straddle his lap, legs at either side of Tsuna’s waist and forehead hidden against his neck. “There you go.”
Ha! Tsuna is an expert in this shit. Also, there’s no way he’s complaining about 80kg of pure muscle being draped all over him. 
“Oh, fuck,” Xanxus mutters, curling tighter around Tsuna. “You little shit, am drunk.”
Ah, that explains it. Then again, Xanxus can’t be all that mad, not with the way he is all but crawling into Tsuna, nuzzling his forehead against Tsuna’s neck. Now, when he comes out of it, it might be a different story but for now, Tsuna might as well enjoy this surprisingly sweet side of his rival. “Yeah?” He tangles his fingers into messy black hair and pets Xanxus carefully, waiting to see if Xanxus will allow it. “Like that?”
“Hmm,” Xanxus arches into the caress like a cat and then a big hand is grabbing Tsuna’s free hand and pushing it to join in. 
Alright then, Tsuna is taking that as an agreement. “Greedy,” he teases but concedes, petting Xanxus back in slow long strokes. Like he’s trying to make a point, Xanxus’s flames latch onto his and pull, attempting to burrow under his. Cute. Tsuna smiles and gives him what he wants, sighing ruefully when he feels the bond settle into place. Tsuna doesn’t regret it for a second but if anybody asks, it was entirely Reborn’s fault. 
Xanxus goes boneless with a satisfied little sound, pressing his nose into Tsuna’s skin. Honestly, people as deadly as this man have no right to be this cuddly. It’s like hugging a tiger. Yes, it’s cute as all hell. Magistic, even. It can also kill you by accident with one big swipe. But then again, for Tsuna it just adds to the charm. Reborn has already cracked Tsuna’s sanity. He has nobody to blame but himself. 
Still, cute. And sexy. But mostly cute. Giving in to impulse, Tsuna kisses the crown of Xanxus’s head, finger rubbing back and forth against Xanxus’s cheek. 
Over him, Xanxus hums, smug and satisfied, “‘gain.”
“Greedy,” Tsuna repeats but complies regardless, dropping another kiss on top of Xanxus’s head. 
It’s to that scene that Squalo and the rest of the guardians arrive to, “VOOOI! What the fuck, trash?!”
To be fair to him, the swordsman sounds more surprised than insulting and Tsuna snickers. Xanxus is not nearly as amused, he unfurls from on top of Tsuna with a snarl, reaching from his guns. Tsuna shushes him gently, he’s honestly more used to handling violent elements than he should be. Even more used to handling in-fighting when somebody’s pride gets unavoidably trampled on. 
“Come on,” Tsuna murmurs gently, carding gentle fingers through Xanxus’s hair. 
Half-out of Tsuna’s lap, Xanxus scoffs but looks consideringly between his Rain and Tsuna. Finally, he decides on taking one warning shot towards his guardians even as he crawls back into Tsuna’s arms. Eh, good enough, Tsuna decides and turns his head to kiss the cheek that Xanxus is rubbing against him, smiling at the contented grunt it earns him. 
“Mine,” Xanxus declares, still clearly flame-drunk but just as clearly possessive. He’s watching Tsuna from under his lashes, once more draped all over him. 
“Hmm,” Tsuna cups Xanxus’s cheek, pulls him up so that he can reach and pecks the man’s parted lips. “Yours,” Tsuna agrees, letting his other hand grab a hold of Xanxus’s hip. “Mine.”
At that, Xanxus shudders and nods, “yours.”

Have you seen Linkara's review of The Dark Knight Returns? He goes into why the view of Robin as a soldier, popularized but by no means invented by Miller, is so dangerous.
I have not, but I need to refresh my memory before I go check it out because I’ll either agree with it or be infuriated by it and I can’t remember which just at the moment but would like to before I restart that argument ten years later.
LOL, so like, I knew Linkara yeeears and years ago. We were both regular posters on Gail Simone’s messageboard on CBR like fifteen years ago, maybe longer. Pretty sure we even met in person a couple times at Gail’s annual SDCC breakfast meetups, but not sure. I do know for sure though that he and I were both involved in a three way argument about this very topic with another guy.....I just can not remember if he was the one who agreed with me or the one we were both fighting with about it, LOL. I THINK we were in agreement as while I wasn’t like.....as pro-DC as most YABSers were given that it was Gail’s board and I mostly hung out at the X-boards and just swung by YABS once a week or so BECAUSE I couldn’t stand all the ass-kissing that went on at that board so that DC writers and artists would hang out and post regularly, LOL, like I’m pretty sure I remember Link as being one of the less....vehement of the pro-DC camp.
(Tbh, one of the biggest ways in which I disagreed with Gail on stuff is I UNDERSTOOD her feeling a need to be civil with other DC pros even if she didn’t like them personally, I just....couldn’t manage the same and didn’t feel any desire to try. Like for example, not sure how many people know who Ethan van Sciver is, but he’s a long time high profile DC artist, best known for his GL stuff.....but he used to hang around YABS pretty regularly. EvS is ALSO a haaaaaardcore conservative, Trumpian, and all around terrible person. And he always was.
Like he’d play it civil back then but his opinions were downright hateful on a variety of topics, particularly towards marginalized groups, but he was good at picking just the right moments to half-assedly walk something back the second he took something ‘too far’ - so like, the end result was he said it and everyone saw and remembered, but before anyone could react he’d drop the mea culpa card and be like oh I’m sorry I know that was out of line, I was just caught up in the moment and it’s all good cuz this is all friendly debate anyway right? We’re just talking here.
And he’d pull this crap all the time but because he was a DC pro, people would let him get away with it and warn people off coming down on him so he didn’t feel unwelcome at the board. Now the painfully ironic twist here is that shockingly, totally unexpectedly.....fast forward to about five or six years ago where good old Ethan burns a shit ton of bridges and decides well why not make things a dumpster fire for everyone in my vicinity....and he became the driving force behind a bunch of alt right comic book fans starting their own weak ass version of Gamergate, only called Comicsgate. It never was nearly as....big...as Gamergate was, but it was still ugly. And the thing is, Ethan sicced his sycophants on other industry pros he’d worked with over the years but always disagreed with on politics.....like really let the ugly fly....and most of these pros included Gail as well as a bunch of the other DC professionals from back in the YABS days.
Because thing was....that was literally WHY he’d hung out at YABS so much back then, despite being so far in disagreement with most of the progressive leaning board. He was always just interested in stirring shit up, he never actually had the slightest interest in debate or seeing the other side of anything....he just knew how to play the right cards to get the right people to come to his defense and cool things off rather than run him off, in the name of keeping things civil and such...all so he could start it all up again a couple weeks later.
And this is literally why that kind of thing doesn’t work for me at all. Because he wasn’t really that subtle even then, most people knew all along exactly what he was doing, and letting him get away with shit that would have gotten anyone else banned purely because he was a industry pro just meant that his opportunities to subject anyone in his vicinity to just vile, hateful shit ended up more protected than all the marginalized posters on that board who didn’t come to it to see his shit but had to constantly listen to it anyway because people were more interested in making excuses for him than making it comfortable for everyone else.
And in the end, he ended up turning on the very people who’d protected him from everyone else ripping into his hateful viewpoints with the directness they merited. Which just. Sigh. To me just smacks of a whole lot of unnecessary years spent putting up with his barely veiled bullshit until he didn’t bother even veiling it anymore....even though the reality is NOBODY was ever buying into his veil of it in the first place and we all knew what was right behind it all along. Anyway. Not that it matters LOL, but good old Eth, was one of the primary reasons I decided not to go into comics when I had a couple of opportunities come up, as I decided to focus my efforts on Hollywood at the time instead. Lmao, I figured if I was going to have to keep my mouth shut about coworkers whose opinions I vehemently disagreed with in the name of professionalism, I might as well focus on the profession that would pay me more money to keep that to myself. Look, at least capitalism is useful when ADHD and trying to pretend to be decisive about life choices.)
Long ramble nobody asked for aside, like I said, I can’t remember Link’s take on this particular topic but it’s likely the one I agreed with for the most part. My own take has always been that Miller sucks and if he said it chances are I said he was wrong because he is about everything and my religion is people saying so and by people I mean me. My religion’s also big on self-actualization. Not sure what else, I did just make it up and I think I’ll probably just stop there so I don’t accidentally make it a cult.
But yeah. I mean, maybe it’ll surprise people given how critical I am of the abusive elements of canon, but I’ve never applied the child endangerment/child soldier argument to sidekicks. It’s obviously not that they don’t get hurt in these stories and even traumatized, it’s not that they’re NOT in danger as kids....it’s just why I put such an emphasis on it being their choice to fight crime and be heroes and NOT something that Bruce or any other mentor or parent pushed them into.
Because this is one of the reasons why death of the author more often than not just doesn’t work for me. Authorial intent matters. Readers are always free to interpret a text however they want, regardless of authorial intent....but IF a writer has a specific intent behind a narrative choice, chances are most interpretations that refuse to align themselves with that viewpoint aren’t really all that RELEVANT to the story the writer was trying to tell in the first place.
Don’t get me wrong. Those other interpretations can still exist. They’re allowed to exist. People can abide by them all they want. But if someone’s takeaway from a story is a deliberate choice to read it entirely different from the story the writer intended it to be.....like, their interpretation is all well and good, but it’s not actually at all a RELEVANT commentary on or review of the story the writer was actually writing. They’re not actually saying the writer did a poor job of telling the story or was wrong in how they did it....because they’re not actually talking about the story the writer was actually telling.
Thus their commentary on it exists. But it’s just not that relevant. Because nothing in it even CAN offer an opinion on how else the writer could or should have written that story....because the story they ARE talking about isn’t the story the writer was even interested in writing.
Now, there are some times when authorial intent DOESNT matter. And when criticism of it is entirely fair and earned even if it’s of something the writer didn’t consciously or deliberately write into their story at all. But these things are almost ALWAYS unconscious. Unlike what I was just talking about, where the writer was very consciously writing the story a certain way for a reason, and thus people who aren’t interested in reading the story the way it was written to be read just can’t offer up a commentary that says anything useful or meaningful about the story that was actually written...the flip side of this is when the writer puts things they don’t intend into the text, but still are very much there all the same.
And this sort of thing applies to things like micro aggressions or racism, homophobia, sexism....things where a writer didn’t sit down intending to be offensive or alienate their readers but still put in things that they don’t think to view as offensive due to their own privilege and lack of experience EXPERIENCING the microaggressions that marginalized readers might be all TOO familiar with and thus can’t avoid reading into a passage where the writer might not have INTENDED harm or offense, but delivered it all the same. Because they didn’t think to put it into their story, they weren’t TRYING to....but they didn’t think to avoid putting it in there either, even if it’s because they didn’t know to until it’s pointed out to them that it’s there.
And this also applies to when the writer puts into their story, via whatever viewpoint they’re writing from, things that herald from their own viewpoints, how they view the world, even in terms of unconscious biases or expectations....but things that readers can still interpret as something they vehemently disagree with, even if the narrative seems to condone it. Because a lot of these viewpoints are things where the way they’re written....even just not coming out as clearly not condoning or agreeing it can effectively be read as tacitly condoning it.
So to apply all this to the idea of child sidekicks and child soldiers:
They’re not one and the same, and thus treating them as one and the same or interchangeable is IMO an inherently flawed perspective that doesn’t ever have anything USEFUL or RELEVANT to the stories that most people are trying to tell with child heroes and sidekicks.
With the notable exceptions of Miller, Ennis and certain other writers who by their own admission usually aren’t even trying to write about superheroes but rather deconstructions of the genre as a whole.....the vast majority of comic book writers, even the ones I dislike LOL, aren’t writing about child soldiers when they write characters like the Robins. Because CONSCIOUSLY, with INTENT, they’re already trying to write something completely different:
Child heroes and sidekicks are almost universally written to be child (although to be really fair, for the most part they’re largely teen) empowerment allegories. They’re youth power fantasies.
They’re stories about kids, about teens, getting to be the ones to save the world. About kids who don’t need adults to save them because they save themselves or their friends. Kids saving other people, other kids, grown adults. Stories about child HEROES are written as metaphors of hope for the future and the promise of the younger generations, or power fantasies where kids who feel helpless and powerless in their own lives can read these stories and vicariously imagine through the characters the idea of one day having the power to save themselves or other people, what that would be like, what they’d do with that.
But here’s the important part, and why people interpreting these teen and kid heroes as child soldiers doesn’t really offer relevant commentary to stories that are written to be allegorical youth power fantasies, regardless of authorial intent or death of the author....
And that’s because the key ingredient here, the thing that’s not really up for debate or open to interpretation....is that these stories can ONLY ever be allegorical.
Because like I said before, child heroes and child soldiers are not the same thing. There simply IS NO REAL WORLD EQUIVALENT for child and teen heroes as comic books style them.
And that’s why the fact that with most every child hero in comics, no adult makes them be a hero. They choose that for themselves, it’s almost universally characterized as a self-determination or empowerment moment rather than one of coercion like Miller likes to characterize it. His choice to characterize Bruce essentially drafting Dick as Robin to fight alongside him does nothing to provide commentary on any other superhero story, no matter what he’s told himself or his fans, because his story is the only one where Robin was drafted!
You can’t condemn narrative choices that nobody but you has actually written and then act like you’re saying something about any narrative other than your own fsjsjfshfzgzfhgs.
And you also can’t claim that you’re just seeing in the text something that’s inherently there and the other writers didn’t just see to avoid like I was talking about being a valid critique....because what’s being commented on there isn’t anything that was written unknowingly. Other writers consciously wrote the same things as Miller in terms of a child engaged in all that violence....but they deliberately wrote those moments to be metaphors of a kid that gets to save themselves and other people and CHOSE that, which is inherently opposed to the interpretation of a kid who is ONLY in harm’s way because he was forcibly drafted by a more powerful figure or force who cares neither what he wants or if he gets hurt.
These two ideas are mutually exclusive. They can not coexist in the same narrative because a character can not be powerless and self-empowering about the exact same specific choice. And thus anything that’s said about one of these narratives is inherently unable to say anything that’s relevant about the other....because the other is not written by its writer TO BE the kind of narrative that particular commentary is dissecting. It’s not TRYING to be that narrative, so no review of it can possibly say how flawed it’s execution is of an idea it’s not actually trying to execute.
And the differences between child heroes and child soldiers are not just limited to choosing that or being drafted and these other differences are equally key.
The biggest being that child heroes can not be seen as ‘basically’ the same thing as child soldiers.....UNLESS you are also perceiving adult heroes as basically the same thing as adult soldiers. And not even law enforcement or police or temporarily deputized or whatever else you want to spin it as....SOLDIERS, specifically. You don’t get to bring up something as charged as child soldiers and then get vague with your terminology when the close scrutiny that brings to your analogy stops working in your favor.
If sidekicks are child soldiers then you must in conjunction view adult superheroes as soldiers. And not in the abstract one man war on crime way Miller likes to consider Batman in his attempted deconstruction of superheroes. ACTUAL soldiers. If there’s no room in your comparison for child heroes to differentiate from real world child soldiers, there’s no wiggle room for the adults either.
And again, except for Miller, Ennis and specific others who by their own admissions are not TRYING to view superheroes the same way most other comic writers are, but fail to see that genre conventions are largely interpretive and thus seeing room for different interpretations of superheroes isn’t actually a commentary on how other people see and write those same heroes....like except for these select few, most writers are not writing superhero soldiers unless they’re Captain America or Captain Atom. Yes I know there are other superhero soldiers but let me be pithy. Even those aren’t really the same as their real world equivalents.
See, real soldiers don’t make distinctions about whether or not they’re willing to use guns. Their personal views on killing are not prioritized over whether they’ve been told to use lethal force to accomplish their objective. They have a chain of command. No matter the rationalization, they pledge their loyalty to singular nations and the aims and objectives of those specific nations over the abstract of acting in defense of the whole world.
Now again, maybe that applies to Captain Atom, but for the most part can you say the majority of comic book writers are TRYING to write Superman, Batman, Green Arrow, Wonder Woman etc through that lens? No. So while Miller really thinks he said something when he wrote his Batman with guns, fighting in the Middle East, killing people left and right, none of that actually ‘showed’ people that at the end of the day, Batman is no conceptually different from a real world soldier like. No all he actually did was write his own take on Batman, and said look, he’s a gun toting murderous asshole, huzzah I have deconstructed the modern superhero!
Like. Shut up Miller. Honestly.
But seriously. Superheroes do not have a real world equivalent and neither do child heroes. Even when it comes to nonpowered ones like the Batfam, they’re still deliberately written in a larger than life, four color perspective that requires a suspension of disbelief at the front door. We ALL know and understand that they aren’t a blue print for how to go out and be a real world vigilante. Even real world vigilantes exist. But they don’t look anything like the Batfam and it’s disingenuous to pretend they do for the sake of teh discourse. Nobody honestly believes that there is even the OPTION of going out one day and deciding to become a comic book style vigilante like one of the Batfam. It’s why even they’re termed superheroes despite the lack of superpowers. On a CONCEPTUAL level it’s understood that the stories being told about them require an extrahuman medium. You can not simultaneously write characters according to a mythic scale but then attempt to interpret that very writing on a real world one. It doesn’t work.
Which brings me to my final piece of this pie. Or puzzle. Idk I’ve been doing this response for awhile I forget what this is.
And that is again, the difference between interpreting a story in a way the author probably didn’t intend and understanding when a story isn’t meant to be interpreted in the way you’re trying to.
And this difference is how I can understand and reconcile the idea that it’s not inherently abusive for Bruce to allow his kids to fight crime at all, even though that would inherently be child endangerment in the real world, but at the same time, I can view him as abusive in other ways that don’t make allowances for the differences between real life and comics.
Basically it boils down to: CAN this specific element of a story be duplicated in real life or mirror a real life action or idea? Is there a direct parallel to a real world equivalent at all?
I can view Bruce fighting crime or saving the world alongside a child Robin without viewing that as child endangerment or inherently abusive, even when Robin gets hurt in the process....because there is no real world equivalent to those parts of a story. NO ONE, child or adult, is going out there and doing those things Batman and Robin style. Even the people who dress up in their own real life vigilante personas basically just do niche neighborhood things like walk people home from the bar. And even people doing real life vigilantism in terms of taking out criminals, like, that’s usually more of a personal revenge thing and not one where they’re trying to attract attention via a costumed persona. When you think real world Batman and Robin, nothing comes to mind for a reason.
And thus this says nothing inherently abusive about their dynamic, even according to real life parallels of child endangerment, because it’s not a real scenario. And thus it’s not TRYING to say anything about real life. It’s innately allegorical. It’s power fantasy emphasis on the fantasy.
In contrast, when you have something like Bruce hitting one of his kids.....no matter who the characters are, that specific interaction and the dynamic it presents DOES have a real world equivalent. That’s just parent/child abuse. And thus even if the writer didn’t intend for it to be interpreted that way, it’s still a valid interpretation. If it looks like a parent hitting their child, you can call it a parent hitting a child.
Batman and Robin fighting killer mind controlled plants together? Can’t happen. I’m not going to call it child endangerment when it’s not a realistic scenario and not meant to be, and I’ve already been presented with a valid alternative interpretation of this being a child empowered to help save people alongside his superhero father. There’s no point in condemning a dynamic that CANT be translated to a non allegory in real life.
But Bruce hitting his son? A father no matter how good hearted normally, being affected by extreme stress or grief or something else that makes his behavior take a turn for the worse and reach a point where he physically lashes out even if he never would have in the past? Nothing remotely allegorical about that. That story has too many real world equivalents to dismiss as having nothing to say about abuse in real life. Even if the writer didn’t intend for this to read as abusive because they were thinking of how much worse Dick has been hurt fighting alongside Bruce and never held that against him even though technically it was Bruce letting him get hurt....doesn’t matter. That interpretation still requires viewing through a lens that can’t exist in reality. No kid can ever excuse a parent hitting them by thinking of how much worse they got hurt taking down their local mob together and if he didn’t blame his dad for that cuz he wanted to do it to help people then how can he blame his dad for hurting him in a moment of anger? Umm. Doesn’t track see? They’re not the same thing at all.
Or another one that really bugs....I’ve heard people defend shipping a Robin while underage with an adult by saying if they’re old enough to make the choice to risk their life and have that choice respected, they’re old enough to choose who they want to be with. Umm. No. That’s not just apples and oranges that’s genetically modified grapes and seventeenth century cannonballs.
That logic doesn’t apply because neither of those things is the underage character choosing ANYTHING. They’re fictional. Everything they choose is just what their writer wrote them choosing. But again, one of those choices is one that an underage reader CANT choose in real life and have respected by every adult in their life, and thus will never have a bearing on their life as anything BUT an allegory they have to interpret and translate into something actionable they can apply to their life and choices. The other choice is them being written as presented with an option that’s actually a textbook real life grooming technique and something abusers use to justify the relationship they’re trying to cultivate with a minor by saying aren’t you mature for your age, aren’t you old enough to know what you want or to do this or that in which case you should be old enough to make this choice?
See the difference? Putting on a cape and going out to fight robots? Not directly applicable. Saying yes to the grown man saying he wants to have sex with you and thinks you’re old enough given this other choice you’ve made that highlights your maturity? That’s a choice that can be presented both to a Robin or a real life minor, but a writer justifying that choice for that Robin by saying well he’s already previously made this other choice that has no real life equivalent.....that creates a pretty misleading interpretation to people reading that story and not stopping to think through the distinctions between what KINDS of choices the writer is presenting these characters with and then justifying via their narrative.
And while I haven’t watched the video you’re referencing, anon, I would definitely agree that this is an example of how viewing child heroes as child soldiers is....not great. Aside from being cynical, misusing the idea of death of the author and helping to validate Miller’s choices and thus ego which is NEVER a good look LOL....it also intentionally or not paves the way for putting fictional types and MEANS of harm on an even playing field with real life ones and acting like it’s all one and the same with no distinctions to be drawn. And this doesn’t actually offer anything substantive or constructive about holding characters accountable for reasonable expectations of harm, when the sources of harm have no reasonable equivalent and thus only exist in the medium of being a youth power fantasy in which the child involved is fictional and can’t truly be harmed, with the harm done the second the scene ends and where the character can be back in fighting form the very next scene. Thus the only lingering element there IS the power fantasy.
Nope, all it actually does is muddy the waters in the REVERSE, and make it so it’s actually easier to justify or rationalize types and means of harm that DO have a real world equivalent, but by pointing to examples from a fictional medium and emphasizing the fictional character’s lack of being harmed while de-emphasizing the fact that the writer has full control over depicting this in a solely positive light that doesn’t ALLOW the fictional character any angle from which to voice that this CAN result in harm when not written for fictional characters according to a writer’s specific intent.
And that’s that about that. My opinion: you have it.

helping hand | jooheon (monsta x)
jooheon x female reader
genre: smut, slight crack, a bit of fluff
word count: 3.9k
summary: you’re giving out free handjobs and jooheon wants one. 
warnings: take a shot whenever i say handjob
a/n: i guess this is kind of femme reader implied because the oc doesn’t know much about jerkin dicks so….. imma just make it female reader. also not at how this was 9 pages on google docs... i didn’t expect it to be this long i had too much fun with the dialogue. also i’m not making a part two because i wouldn’t know what to write i kept putting this off for a week cuz i was stuck yass
“how will i ever get enough practice to give a good handjob before i get to the real deal?” you wondered, deep in another one of your crazy conversations with your best friend changkyun. you were eating lunch together in the quad of the uni you both attended. you both came from your last lecture of the day, settling for some campus food.
“i’m sure a lot of people are willing to let you practice on them, who would pass up a free handjob?” changkyun said, taking another chip out of the bag on the table and throwing it into his mouth.
“you say that but you won’t let me practice on you?” you joked, smirking at the man across the round lunch table you two sat at.
“you gotta pay to see my dick babe,” he quipped, smirking right back at you. “if you wanna practice so bad then why don’t you just choose some rando around campus?”
“i can’t be going up to people asking if they want a handjob, i’m gonna get suspended and pepper sprayed and shit.”
“well maybe they might feel uncomfortable if you go up to them but what if we just offer it to the community in general?” he said, making gestures with his hands to make his words seem more meaningful.
“what the hell are you even saying?” you furrowed your brows at him as he stood up on the seat he was just sitting on, cupping his hands around his mouth and getting ready to yell.
“FREE HANDJOBS! THIS GIRL IS GIVING OUT FREE HANDJOBS!” he projected his voice all across the quad, pointing his finger at you. “IF YOU GOT A DICK AND YOU WANT A FREE HANDJOB, SHE’S GIVIN’ EM OUT!” 
any other person would be screaming at their friend to stop with their face on fire, but you were sitting there casually as if he wasn’t doing anything unusual. in fact, you thought it was funny. crazier things have happened on your college campus with no phone calls or repercussions so you didn’t have to worry about anyone reporting you two. you began to just go with changkyun’s plan, smiling and waving mindlessly while looking around for anyone who seemed to be interested.
someone whose gaze you didn’t notice though was jooheon’s. jooheon was a shy boy who you were familiar with from one of your classes, but you two had never interacted before. of course, changkyun’s yelling had caught his attention, and he initially thought to ignore the announcement until he became curious as to who was ‘giving out handjobs.’ when he turned to see it was you, the cutie from his public speaking class, he felt a blush crawl onto his cheeks. he thought of taking the offer but he quickly shook the thought out of his head, thinking it was a big joke.
his friend minhyuk chuckled from across the small table they shared, typing away on his laptop. “just another day on this crazy campus,” minhyuk muttered, bringing his face closer to his screen.
“yeah,” jooheon mumbled, unable to avert his gaze from the scene that was unfolding before him.
minhyuk peered up at him from behind his laptop for just a second, immediately noticing his flushed cheeks. “why is your face so red?” minhyuk questioned, although not pausing his fingers from tapping away on his keyboard.
“i-is it?” jooheon stuttered, placing his hands over his cheeks as if to conceal them from not already being discovered.
“uh yeah. super.” minhyuk finally tore his attention from his work on his computer and fully looked at jooheon. he cocked an eyebrow at him, then turned to survey the scene jooheon had been watching so closely. “ahhhh, you want a handjob don’t you?” minhyuk snickered.
“no!” jooheon quickly denied.
“it’s nothing to be ashamed of. who doesn’t want a free handjob?” minhyuk squinted his eyes, trying to focus his vision. “and the girl giving out handjobs is pretty cute.”
“then why don’t you go get a handjob?” jooheon asked, hands still folded over his cheeks.
“i have important things to take care of. if i’m lucky then maybe her offer will still be standing later today,” minhyuk laughed, going back to whatever was on his laptop screen. “but you seem kind of tense, maybe you should go get one and ease your nerves,” minhyuk suggested.
jooheon let the thought linger in his mind for a bit. “what if i go up to them and it’s just a joke?”
“well if it’s a joke it seems to be going on forever.” minhyuk turned to watch you and changkyun again, changkyun still yelling through his hands. “they seem a little desperate for a taker.”
“i don’t know dude.” jooheon eyed you two once again.
“you just gotta be confident. go up there and be like yep, i’m here and i want a handjob.” minhyuk puffed his chest, dramatically impersonating someone with macho confidence. “and even if it is a joke then your confidence will help you play it off without you looking like a loser.”
“but, i know the girl giving out handjobs. she’s in my public speaking class.” jooheon glanced at you again, trying not to make it too obvious.
“oh is that the hottie you’re always talking about?” minhyuk looked at you again, really observing your features this time. “you have some good taste, if you don’t take the handjob from her i will.”
“woah woah woah, i had my eyes on her first.” jooheon sent minhyuk a glare.
a lightbulb flicked on in minhyuk’s head. “this is the perfect opportunity for you then!” minhyuk’s excitement was evident on his face.
“no! what if she recognizes me?” jooheon countered.
“who cares? come on!” minhyuk got up from his seat and grabbed jooheon’s arm, dragging him from his own chair.
“what’re you doing?!” jooheon’s voice was laced with panic.
“trust me,” minhyuk reassured him, pulling him toward the stars of the commotion. by the time they made it over to you two, changkyun was already giving up.
“man, why doesn’t anyone want a handjob?” you groaned. “if i were a guy-”
“excuse me,” minhyuk interrupted. your head whipped around to see whose voice it was and you were met with minhyuk’s warm expression. “i heard you were giving out some handjobs.”
“yes, i am!” you stood from your chair to speak to him more formally-- well as formal as you could get when talking about handjobs. “were you interested?”
“ah, i actually have a paper i need to finish but if you’re still giving some out later today maybe i’ll take you up on the offer,” minhyuk laughed. “i’m minhyuk by the way, my friend on the other hand is pretty stressed right now so i think a handy would do him good.” minhyuk gestured to jooheon, who he was still gripping onto tightly. you glanced over at him, noticing his red cheeks that made him look like a human stop sign. jooheon was looking around to see if anyone was watching him ask for a handjob before his eyes landed back on you.
“hey i know you, you’re in my public speaking class. j… ji… jihoon?” you said, waving your finger in the air as you tried to think of his name.
“jooheon,” he corrected, bringing a hand up to rub the back of his neck.
“ah, sorry. i’m y/n.” you shook his hand as changkyun hopped down from his seat.
“i’m changkyun!” he yelled, knocking his body into yours clumsily and replacing your hand in jooheon’s with his. “yeah so basically she’s kind of inexperienced so she needs some practice. that’s why she’s giving handjobs out,” changkyun explained, answering everyone’s unspoken questions. “if she was any good maybe you’d have to pay.”
“ugh, you don’t know if i suck completely,” you groaned, hitting him in the chest. “i just need a bit more practice.” you held your hands up in defense. 
“well, i need to get back to that paper i was working on but i’ll be on the lookout for you if you still need some more practice,” minhyuk shot you a wink, turning on his heel and patting jooheon’s chest before strutting back to his table. jooheon rolled his eyes at him, his expression becoming more panicked when he saw you step closer to him in the corner of his eye. 
“so, jooheon…” you started, trying to meet his eyes, but he anxiously kept his gaze locked on the ground. “you sure you want to lend me a hand? or, moreso the other way around i guess.” 
“uh…” jooheon could back out now and say minhyuk was just playing a sick joke on him, but something in him gave him a kick of confidence. he finally made eye contact with you. “yeah, i could help you out.”
“ooh,” changkyun spoke from behind you. “thanks for taking one for the team bro,” he said, saluting him as if he was being sent to war.
“shut your ass up,” you exclaimed, giving changkyun a slight push. “i’ll take jooheon back to my dorm and you can go be an idiot somewhere,” you said to changkyun. you turned back to jooheon, “unless you have another place in mind. you’re the client after all.” jooheon laughed at your choice of words, feeling like he was getting a professional service.
“your dorm is fine,” he said, sending you a comforting smile. he seemed comfortable and confident on the outside, but on the inside he was screaming. 
he hadn’t really had a lot of sexual encounters in his life. he was raised in a religious family, so let’s just say he wasn’t a high school party kind of guy, going around promiscuously. he had a short relationship in his first year at university, and he did try a few things, but this was the first time he ever did anything like this so spontaneously, and he was especially nervous about doing this with someone he barely knew. what if you didn’t like how his dick looked? what if you spread rumors about him? what if he came too fast? he shook these thoughts out of his head when you grazed his hand with your own. 
“you coming?” you asked, already holding all of your belongings in your arms. jooheon nodded and began to follow you on the path to your dorm, bidding changkyun farewell as changkyun yelled a good luck! before departing. 
you kept the conversation alive as you walked to your dorm building, asking him about his day, basic questions about him, and occasionally bringing up your public speaking class.
“by the way, you don’t have to say much if you don’t want to when we’re getting to it. i just wanted to try some things and i just need to know if you like them,” you explained to him, continuing to walk on the path to your dorm.
“cool, i wouldn’t know what to say anyway,” he admitted sheepishly.
“maybe an ‘oh that felt good,’ or ‘oh i didn’t really like that,’ every now and then,” you shrugged, listening to him laugh at your words. 
finally, you were in front of your dorm room. you brought out your key and unlocked the door, pushing it open and holding it for your guest. you put your stuff away and invited jooheon to get more comfortable. he settled for the edge of your bed, twiddling his thumbs as he watched you walk around your dorm room. 
“so from the information i’ve gathered, i believe i only need some type of lubrication and my hand for this to work,” you announced your steps, inviting him to correct you or make suggestions if necessary.
he let out a soft giggle at your bizarre approach. “yes, from what i know that is all you need.”
“cool. i don’t have the real deal lube but i have some lubriderm for sensitive skin so i’m sure it’s safe for your dick.” you brought out the said bottle of lotion and took a seat next to him on the bed. luckily you lived in a single dorm so you didn’t have to worry about a roommate barging in while you guys were getting down to business.
you placed the bottle of lotion on your bedside table and turned to face jooheon. “i understand if you’re nervous jooheon, i’m shitting my pants right now,” you admitted shamelessly.
“really?” he laughed. “why?”
“well first of all, you’re in my public speaking class so if this doesn’t go well we gotta deal with the elephant in the lecture hall for the rest of the semester,” you laughed, making a smile appear on jooheon’s face along with his deep set of dimples. “second of all you’re cute and it’s just making me nervous.”
he was taken aback by your words. you thought he was cute? he felt his face begin to heat up, but your words grounded him again. 
“sorry i’m awkward but should we start this off by kissing or…” you trailed off, surrendering your lead to jooheon.
“oh, sure.” jooheon turned his body towards you, unsure of whether he was making the first move or if you were.
“okay, here i go.” you brought your hand up to cup his cheek before pressing your lips against his softly. you were gentle at first, slightly teasing his lips with your own. you felt jooheon lean toward you more, desperate to deepen the kiss. you stifled a giggle at his neediness, granting his wishes and slotting your mouths together.
you may have been inexperienced with your hands, but when it came it to kissing you were very much a pro. when you swiped your tongue across his bottom lip he immediately opened his mouth, allowing you to press your tongue against his. jooheon could already tell you were skillful, and you knew you had an effect on him when he let out the softest moan. his hands winded into your locks, pulling you closer and deepening the kiss further. when you pulled away slightly for some air, jooheon leaned forward, chasing after your lips. you caught your breath and looked back into jooheon’s hooded eyes. 
“just let me know at any point if your uncomfortable,” you said breathlessly. 
“okay,” jooheon replied quickly before slamming his lips into yours once again, craving your kiss. you automatically reciprocated, giving him what he needed. 
as your mouths continued to move together, you trailed your hand down his chest and to his stomach, stopping just before the waistband of his pants. resting your hand there for a few more seconds, you were taken aback when jooheon took your hand and placed it on the bulge that was forming in his pants. you couldn’t help but smile into the kiss at his sudden boldness that seemed to melt away when you tugged on his bottom lip with your teeth. you started to move your hand on his crotch, palming him through the material of his pants. you explored his lower region with your other hand, massaging his thighs with delicate fingers, and occasionally grazing over his balls. 
you hooked your finger under the waistband of his pants, tugging on them and hinting at jooheon to lift his hips. he broke the kiss as he shoved his pants down his legs along with his boxers, his semi hard cock on display for you. jooheon was becoming more eager as time went on, desperate to keep your lips attached to his. instead, you pulled your mouth from his and reattached them to his neck, giving him an entirely new sensation. you simultaneously began to lightly trail the pads of your fingers along his shaft. you felt jooheon shiver at your touch as his head turned down to watch your fingers work on his cock.
you sat up straight, removing your lips from his neck to focus your attention on his dick. you had previously done lots of research on tips for the perfect handjob, but you just needed someone to practice these techniques on. 
with the tips in mind, you continued to graze his cock with your fingertips until you noticed a bead of precum form at the tip. you couldn’t help the smirk that decorated your face as you brought your finger to the head of his dick, spreading his precum all around it. his breaths were becoming more noticable and when you looked up at him he had his bottom lip tucked between his teeth. once you spread all of his precum around, you wrapped your fingers around his shaft lightly and gave him one slow stroke. 
jooheon bit down harder on his lip as he tried to control his noises. you went back to playing with the head of his cock again, teasing the tip with light touches. once you felt that you got him riled up enough, you pumped some of the lotion from your bedside table into your hand and wrapped your hand around his dick again, spreading the lotion all over him. he let out shuddering breaths as you slowly stroked his cock. remembering your research, you ran your thumb over the head of his cock whenever your fist got closer to the tip. finally, jooheon choked out a clearly audible moan, unable to keep it in. 
“how does that feel jooheonie?” the nickname you gave him came out almost naturally and you pressed wet kisses along his neck and behind his ear. 
“i-it feels great,” jooheon said between breaths, his head falling back. you couldn’t help but smile at his compliment, butterflies fluttering in your stomach at the thought of making him feel good. you glanced down at his hands which were turning white from the deathgrip he had on your sheets. his eyes were shut and his mouth was agape as he was focusing on trying not to explode immediately under your gentle touch.
you thought about a technique you read on a sex tip blog that talked about using both hands, so you went in. you lightly rubbed the head of his dick in circles with one of your fingers as you continued jerking his shaft with your other hand. jooheon was beginning to become much more vocal. breathy moans were constantly slipping past his lips as you continued your movements on him.
you moved your hand from playing with his tip to tugging on his balls lightly as you continued your motions with your other hand. you gently squeezed them, moving them around in your hand while keeping your strokes with your other hand consistent.
“you’re doing great y/n.” jooheon sounded out of breath as he said that just before another moan was dragged out of his throat. 
“thanks, i’m thinking really hard right now,” you admitted with a giggle, and he laughed breathlessly along with you.
“can… can i touch you?” jooheon asked, his eyes shooting down to your chest. you nodded, taking one of his hands that had loosened its grip on the sheets and bringing it under your shirt, placing it on your bra clad breast. jooheon’s lips quivered from the feeling of you under his hands, a feeling that he’d been craving for so long. you held onto his hand as you guided him in massaging your flesh until he began to move his hand on his own accord. you shoved the cup of your bra out of the way for him, giving him full access to your bare skin. he pinched one of your nipples between his fingertips, eliciting a light moan from your lips. he smirked as he attached his lips to the base of your neck, nipping at the skin near your collarbones. you were becoming more riled up by the second, but you focused your attention back on his sex, remembering the reason you were both there. 
trying your best to focus on the tips you had spent so much time researching, another technique popped into your head. you remember the move being called the escalator because it had made you laugh. you brought both of your hands back to his member, moving one of them along his shaft from the tip of his cock to the base. once that hand reached the base, your other hand was already back at the top, ready to repeat the motion. both of your hands repeated this routine over and over on him, sending waves of pleasure through his body. 
jooheon’s forehead rested against your shoulder as whimpers that sounded like your name left his mouth. he was desperately holding onto your chest, still weakly moving your breast in circles. you went back to the traditional technique, jerking him with one hand while the other went to get more lotion. you slathered his cock up with the cream in your palm, trying to keep stimulating him. you continued a quick speed on him, squeezing a bit more when you got to the area where his shaft met his head. his hips would buck into your fist every now and then, and you could feel his cock twitch as he neared his orgasm.
you brought your other hand down to play with his balls again, and all of the feelings sent him hurtling towards his high. his skin was glazed in a sheen of sweat as he weakly pressed light kisses to the skin of your neck. 
“y/n, i-i’m gonna-” he stopped mid sentence as his mouth dropped open in a silent scream. his hips stuttered as he shot out hot white ropes of cum, covering your hand and shooting onto his thighs too. you ignored the fact that some of his seed was dripping onto your sheets, your mind too busied with the triumphant feeling of getting him off. 
you continued your languid strokes until he whined from overstimulation. you made a show of bringing your hand to your lips and licking up the white liquid covering it, moaning at the taste. jooheon watched you through heavy lids, feeling like he could cum untouched just from the sight before him. as jooheon regained his breath, you tugged your bra back into place and got a couple of tissues from your nightstand and began to clean him up. 
“thanks again, jooheon.” you sent him a warm smile as you wiped up the last of his seed before tossing the tissues into your waste bin.
“it was my pleasure, literally,” he laughed. “i feel like you lied about being an amateur and you just wanted to show off.” 
“oh no, trust me i read like ten sex blogs trying to figure this shit out,” you confessed. “i was afraid you could hear the gears in my head turning.” 
jooheon couldn’t help but smile, showing off his charming dimples once again. “well, i really liked what you did. it was different, but it felt super good.” jooheon couldn’t help but blush at his simple word usage but you took the compliment nonetheless, planting a kiss right on his dimple. 
“i had a few more techniques i wanted to try if you’re down. otherwise i could always ask your friend minhyuk,” you said with a teasing lilt in your voice.
“n-no!” he quickly shouted. “if you ever need help practicing anything you can just call me!”
you laughed at his jittery voice and cupped his cheek in your hand, placing a sweet kiss on his lips before straddling his lap. “if you want, we could try those techniques out now.”
“absolutely,” he replied almost immediately, grabbing your face with both of his hands and dragging you down to lay on top of him.

Could I request an Ateez reaction in which the members find out that one of the other members has a crush on their s/o (the other member possibly doesn't know their dating) please and thank you!
Ask and you shall receive!
I made this one so that you have been friends with the guys for a while anyway, so that’s why no one is suspicious of you dating.
Hongjoong:
Tumblr media
One day you’re just chillin in the dorms right
It’s about to be movie night!!!
The best night when you have literally the funniest people with you
Once everyone figures out what snacks they need and actually sits down
you plop next to Joongie for some secretive snuggles
But as soon as you sit down, Wooyoung starts yelling about how he wanted to cuddle with you during the movie
Everyone teases him because even you know he has a crush on you (he’s not shy and he has a big mouth so you found out pretty quick)
Since nobody knows that you and Hongjoong are together, you force yourself to go over to Wooyoung instead
It’s almost impossible to ignore your boyfriend’s pout though
He’s staring at you from across the room with the saddest look on his face for like 20 minutes of the movie
you can’t even concentrate, you just wanna go back over there so bad
but you don’t want to expose your relationship just yet
Hongjoong will just have to suck it up for tonight
He does not suck it up, however
after another 15 minutes, he stand up really abruptly and marches over to you and Wooyoung
everybody is watching because no one knows what he’s doing all of a sudden
grabs your hand and pulls you back to his seat
cue more complaining from Wooyoung
“Well we’re together, I'm allowed”
everyone just kind of goes into stunned silence
eventually.... “YOU’RE WHAT”
bunch of yelling from everyone while Joong just yanks a blanket up over the both of your heads
you peck him on the lips and eventually the yelling stops and you can come out to finish the movie
Seonghwa:
Tumblr media
possessive mf
but he was the one who didn’t want to tell anyone in the first place
So when Yeosang starts flirting with you, all he can really do is be bitter about it
He watches as you laugh along, obviously not getting that one of your boyfriend’s best friends is coming onto you
You and Yeosang had been talking together for about an hour, just catching up on life and stuff
Seonghwa is getting fed up, no lie
He knew Yeosang had a crush, but he always thought he would be too shy to ever make a move
But all of a sudden Seonghwa feels threatened
he manages to catch your eye across the room and you smile and wave
he just frowns, making you pout and excuse yourself from Yeosang
you head over to him and ask him what’s wrong
He just pulls you into a kiss, catching you completely by surprise
as your eyes flutter shut, his stay open and on Yeosang who is watching with his mouth hanging open
He mouths “sorry, hyung”
Seonghwa pulls away, nods at the younger, and smiles at you
“what was that all about?? What if people saw??”
“don't care anymore”
you don't really question his sudden change of heart
all you can think about is finally being able to cuddle with him even when the boys are around lmao
Yunho: 
Tumblr media
(who gave him the right to look so professional here like what)
squishyyyyyyyyyyy
is hanging around the studio one day when he overhears what sounds like your laugh
he’s like “they aren’t even here today wth”
so he goes to find the source and comes across Hongjoong FaceTiming you
he is about to rush over to join and say hi to his love but stops when he hears Hongjoong speak again
sounds like a confession... Yunho’s cheeks get all red and his eyes get a little glossy just because he’s overwhelmed
he sticks around to hear what you say
he knows that you love him but, at the same time, there's a part of him that's really insecure and scared
“Aw, Joongie...that’s sweet and all but...” you’re stalling because you can’t decide if you should tell him the truth
Yunho is literally dying as he waits for your answer
“Joong, I’m with Yunho... we didn’t want people to know but I think this is a pretty good reason to tell you. I’m so sorry”
Yunho lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding
lets a tear fall because he was so so nervous poor thing
he backs out of the room so that he doesn’t hear more
he low-key feels bad about even overhearing that much but at the same time he feels more confident in your relationship 
he shoots you a text later telling you how much you mean to him and everything, but he doesn’t bring up Hongjoong
he knows that you will end up telling him anyway but he doesn’t want you to think negatively of him for eavesdropping
just so happy that you chose him
Yeosang: 
Tumblr media
so Yeosang is really confident about your relationship and loves you a lot 
but he's shy about letting other people know
but when he notices that Jongho has been making extra efforts to be near you lately, he doesn’t take it lightly
he wouldn’t be nervous if Jongho knew you were in a relationship
but since he doesn’t, Yeosang is worried that he might try and make a move on you
Jongho had talked to a couple of the other guys about his infatuation with you
but he had suspected that Yeosang also had a crush on you so he had held off
but the other guys told Jongho to go for it, since they didn't know the truth either
So as Yeosang is watching Jongho talking to you one day, he notices that Jongho’s fingers keep “accidentally” grazing yours
He’s getting angrier as he watches
but he isn’t angry at you or Jongho, just angry with himself for being to scared to say anything
eventually, he musters up some courage and saunters over to you and Jongho and takes your hand
right in front of Jongho’s salad
And Jongho is immediately like “crap” and walks away
and you’re super confused because what in the world am I missing what just happened
But Yeosang just kinda giggles and asks you if you wanna go get lunch
San:
Tumblr media
now San I think is one to actually get pretty jealous
like if he sees someone trying anything with you, he’s gonna be big mad right away
But it is much more difficult to get mad when it’s Seonghwa who is after you
San is definitely afraid of coming off as disrespectful to his elder if he tries to step in and stop anything
highkey hopes that you’ll say something so that he won't have to
One day Seonghwa actually comes to San
to talk about you
he’s just rambling on and on about how cute he thinks you are, totally oblivious to San’s irritated expression
San is fuming
eventually he’s gonna snap and be like “LOOK BRO WE’RE DATING”
and Seonghwa is like O.O
then San is apologizing like a mad man because he really didn’t mean for it to come out like that
he just legit couldn’t listen to someone else talk about his girlfriend anymore it was infuriating
Seonghwa’s like “...it’s cool, I get why you’d be mad”
then he assures him that he won’t try anything now that he knows about you two
But he also scolds San for not telling him sooner lmao
Gives an apology too just to make his lil bro feel a little better
Mingi:
Tumblr media
(MY MF BABYYYYYY)
So, Mingi gets insecure, I bet
When other tall boy, Yunho, also proclaims that you are his ideal type during a revealing round of truth or dare
there is a lot of yelling from the guys, as you are literally playing with them and he just SAID THAT?
But Mingi does not think it’s funny
Suddenly Wooyoung leans over and whispers in his ear
“we are gonna try to get y/n to say she wants dare so she will have to kiss Yunho”
Like it’s sweet that they’re planning to be wingmen for their buddy Yunho but Mingi is so SAD
scoots an inch closer to you and shakes his head at Wooyoung
“why are you pouting, just help us lmao”
he shakes his head again, but Wooyoung has already turned his attention back to the game
finally, your turn comes around and all the guys start making up excuses as to why you should take a dare
“Cmon y/n we just had two truths in a row, pleaseee”
“y/n you gotta pick dare or its not fun”
and you’re laughing and about to give in and ask for a dare when you look to Mingi and he’s making big eyes at you
you cock an eyebrow at him and he leans over to tell you what the guys were planning
your eyes go wide and the other guys are like “MINGI YOU TATTLED DIDNT YOU”
so you turn your head and peck Mingi on the lips in front of everyone
chorus of “oh my god” “woah” and other things
“Sorry, Yunho” but he just shrugs like “it’s cool, Id rather you be with one of us than someone random. even if its not me”
Mingi is smiling again and thats all that matters really and he snuggles you for the rest of the game
Wooyoung:
Tumblr media
Wooyoung is pretty well-attuned to things that happen around you
always watching you out of the corner of his eye like a stalker
it’s just cuz he loves you tho
so he notices Mingi hitting on you pretty much immediately
honestly finds it kind of amusing for a little bit
but then little things come up in his memory
fans saying that he was too short for you and that you’d be better with someone else
gets down on himself really fast thinking about that kind of stuff
still watching you and Mingi talking
wants to walk over there and hang all over you until Mingi gets the point
so that is exactly what he does
waddles over and slings his arms around your waist
head on your shoulder
kisses your neck and you squeal because MINGI IS RIGHT THERE I MEAN SERIOUSLY WOOYOUNG
and Mingi kind of laughs it off but he’s a little sad bc he liked you ya know
after Mingi goes away you hit Wooyoung softly on the shoulder and tell him to go talk to Mingi and apologize or something
He agrees but he’s like “you have to give me cuddles afterwards”
who could say no to that? couldn't be me
Jongho:
Tumblr media
Okay so you and Jongho are coming back from a group dinner and he sat in the front while you crammed in the backseat with WooSan
halfway through the car ride home, you fall asleep and your head flops onto San’s shoulder
he’s immediately giddy about his crush sleeping on him like his dreams are coming true
Jongho’s like “imma break your dreams like my apples bro”
Woo is giggling because San is being so soft for you and stroking your hair and everything 
Jongho just kinda watches in the rearview as San takes pictures and stuff
But Jongho just purses his lips and tries his best not to say anything
the last straw that finally breaks Jongho’s resolve is when he catches San pressing a kiss to the top of your head
“Hyung, please don't kiss them in front of their boyfriend”
San and Wooyoung look at each other like “are you the boyfriend”
they look at the driver “is he the boyfriend?”
and then their two collective brain cells join together and are like “JONGHO IS THE BOYFRIEND”
San is a little sad but his happiness at the maknae finding love is more prevalent
They start squealing and demanding details about your relationship
“when did this start” “why didn't you tell us” “did you tell your parents”
Jongho just smiles to himself as they throw questions at him
then you wake up and slap San on the boob for waking you up and then flick Wooyoung for being noisy too lmao
Jongho smiles at you and when you get back to the dorms, he gives you a smooch right where everyone can see (because he can do that now)

How Stop liking a Stoner (Bakugou x Reader)
Tumblr media
Bakugou absolutely hated you. Of course he didn’t get along with most people that he met, but the way that he despised you felt different  from others somehow. 
It all began the day that the two of you met. You had walked into class with a very distinct odor. You considered yourself to be a professional at hiding your more delinquent lifestyle; however, masked away under the layers of fruity and sweet perfumes that you had coated yourself in, was a slight, but very recognizable, dank and smokey smell.
You also had certain mannerisms that could alert even the purest of minds to your…ahem… extra-curricular actives.
Now, you weren’t a complete noob. You could handle the high well enough that you weren’t overly quiet, or loud, but you did often find yourself in situations that could expose your habits: such as when Mina asked you to feel how soft a furry piece of her hero costume was, and you ended up petting it for a few uncomfortable minutes before someone called you out, snapping you out of your trance.
Bakugou, being the ever perceptive grump that he was, noticed any of these sorts of slip ups and drew up the conclusion that you were indeed a stoner.   
But that wasn’t even what he could bring himself to hate about you. No, it was the way that you made him feel whenever you were around that made him wholy despise you. 
When you stupidly giggled at every slight occurrence, he could only replay the sound in his head over and over. Disgusting. When you absentmindedly swayed your body in a slight dance during lectures he couldn’t help but to watch you with a terrifyingly light feeling in his chest. Fucking gross. Even as you sat chomping on the insane mountain of snacks that you brought to class, he couldn’t fight the urge to steal glances at the little smile that was perpetually plastered onto your face. Absolutely adorable. WAIT? WHAT THE FUCK?! 
God, he couldn’t stand your ass.
The furious blond found himself sitting at his desk, glaring at his laptop. He sat in thought for a moment before violently popping his knuckles and leaning into the search engine in front of him, allowing his fingers get to work.
Is marijuana bad for you? 
Bakugou scrolled along the first page and found many differing views on the subject, but most scientific articles and studies mostly said the same things: “maybe”, “it depends”, and “we don’t know.” He groaned in frustration, before trying another phrasing of his question,
Can smoking have long term effects? 
The teen was surprised by the overwhelming amount data that appeared, before realizing that they were mostly referencing to cigarettes and cigars. He growled and angrily smashed his fingers against his keyboard to correct his question.
Can smoking weed have long term effects?
As he eyeballed his screen he was once again disappointed by very vague and unclear answers. He slammed a fist onto his laptop in frustration. How the hell could you put that shit into your body without knowing what it would do to you later?! 
Wait. A better, more pressing question shoved itself into his mind.
WHY THE HELL DID HE CARE SO DAMN MUCH ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE DOING?!
Bakugou groaned in frustration and roughly snatched a fist full of his hair, as if he were trying to rip you clean out of his mind. He knew for a fact that mind-altering wasn’t your damn quirk. So why the hell does he give a fuck about you? You weren’t even around him, yet he found himself having his thoughts wander to your well being. It pissed him off. 
Bakugou once more smacked his fingers against his keyboard as he typed one final question,
How to stop liking someone?
As soon as he saw the words flash across his screen, it was like the weight of the entire situation finally cracked something inside of him. Shit. He did like you. The boy suddenly slammed his laptop shut and threw it away from him like it had suddenly disgusted him.
He then decided that he was going to pretend like the last hour of his life just didn’t happen. Yeah he was gonna “control, alt, delete” the fuck out of every thought he just had. 
God dammit, he didn’t have time to dwell on crushes if he was going to be the number one hero! That stupid, delinquent girl wasn’t going to get any more of his time or thoughts!!
But.
It seemed like fate had something else planned as you hurriedly walked to your classroom, 1-A, the next morning. You absolutely couldn’t risk being late today. You hadn’t had enough time to grab your eye drops that morning and Aizawa would certainly notice your altered state if attention was drawn to you. 
The hallway ahead of you moved in choppy frames before you finally whipped a turn to enter the door of your classroom. As soon as you turned into the class, you were slapped with a warm sturdy object, sending you flying back onto your butt.
Bakugou immediately thrashed his body around to confront whatever idiot just knocked into him, “HEY WATCH WHERE YOU’RE…” he trailed off as he recognized your figure. Your lunch box that you had been holding had spilled its contents all over you, but the dirty sight of you was somehow still enough to make his heart throb, “…going.” he finally finished.
“Sorry, Bakugou,” you apologized as you rubbed the side your your head, trying to stabilize your whirling mind, “Oh, man! My food!” you sadly exclaimed as you recognized the pathetic mess of snacks and small meals you had prepped for your day all over the floor and yourself.
The sight of your frown in contrast to your usual happiness gave Bakugou’s chest a twinge of pain. He growled at the emotion as he glared at you on the ground, “Well, maybe you should get your head out of the damn clouds and watch where you are going!” he yelled before stiffly turning on his heel and heading to his seat. 
You blinked in surprise at his retreating figure. Well, you hadn’t exactly expected him to apologize or help you or anything, but you also didn’t expect to see the blush that creeped across his face before he stormed off. 
Huh.
You cleaned yourself up easily enough. Honestly, the situation and Bakugou’s subsequent outburst had helped you make it through the day without getting suspended, drug tested or expelled. By the time you cleaned yourself up and made it back to the classroom, your eyes had pretty much returned to their normal state. 
Today might not be so bad after all!
GrrrrRRRrrRRrrr, your stomach screeched, causing almost all of your classmates to whip their heads toward you in surprise. 
Shit…
You hurriedly grabbed your stomach with a nervous laugh, trying to console the despairing little monster; however, you still spent the rest of the school day with your tummy loudly yelling at you. Watching everyone eat during lunch was absolute torture as your stomach cursed at you for being so damn clumsy. You honestly could have died. 
Death by munchies.
However, it seems as if the cannabis lords took pity on you that day and you actually made it through your last class. You were the first one out of their desk as you rushed out of the classroom and down the hall— the thought of food on your mind, but suddenly you felt a heavy hand snatch your wrist,
“Hey, idiot!” When you looked back your eyebrows shot straight up at the sight of Bakugou’s hardened expression, “Let’s go grab some food.”
Um… hWhat? The suggestion completely threw you off balance. You shook your head as if the vibrations that just came in through your ear needed some readjusting,  “Like… together?” you tilted your head in shock. You’ve never seen Bakugou willingly hang with anyone else besides Kirishima, let alone initiate an event with them!
Bakugou fumed at your questioning appearance, “Are you really that stupid!? I could hear your stomach growling from across the classroom!!”
You giggled at yourself in embarrassment, not quite sure of what else you could do in the moment, “…Why do you care?” you laughed.
Your laughed sent a searing wave of heat to his face. You’d… never directed this display of happiness toward him before, and for some reason it made him feel extremely hot,
“I don’t!” he yelled as he tried to fight the warmth away, “I just knocked your food down earlier and… I don’t want to owe you anything,” he suddenly noticed that he was still clinging to your hand. The heat in his face doubled as he snatched his hand away from yours, “So where do you wanna go? I am not taking no for an answer,” he began as he walked away from U.A.’s campus with a rigid nod for you to follow him. 
You paused for a moment. Is this real? 
A large smile began spreading itself across your face– the cannabis lords once gain raining mercy down upon you, “Maybe a… Mcdonalds!” you happily suggested as you skipped into a light jog ran to catch up with him.
“Mc.. donalds?” Bakugou threw you an expression that resided in an area between horrified and disgusted for a moment before correcting himself back into his comfortable anger, looking at the ground as the two of you walked.
“Yeah, like the clown place!” you added. Bakugou growled at your answer. He wasn’t a fucking idiot he knew what a damn McDonald’s was. You laughed at his response as you continued, “You’re not scared of clowns are you, tough guy?” you teased.
“Fuck you,” he simply huffed, refusing to even entertain your accusations. 
“Wow, on the first date?” you boldly retorted with a stifled laugh, causing him to falter in his steps for a moment. He snapped himself out of whatever stupid emotion he felt at your words, 
“IT’S NOT A DAMN DATE!” he roared, causing you to simply shrug, a pleased smile on your face as you continued to walk without him. 
“Where are you going, you idiot?! There is a Mcdonald’s right there!” he angrily gestured to the golden arches the other direction of where you were headed. 
“I like the one by my house better,” you explained, “It had a gas station attached to it, so I can grab some snacks on the way out.”
….
G-gas Station McDonald’s….? Bakugou could have thrown up right then and there. 
“DISGUSTING!” the blond screeched, “I am not walking all the way over there just to walk back to the dorm! Are you an idiot?!”
Alright. Who the fuck did this to him? Made him crush on a complete loser?! Cupid? God?! He was gonna fight whoever the fuck it was! 
“Fineeee,” you laughed and the two of you walked over to the inferior McDonalds. Bakugous eyes widened in repulsion as you ordered both a Big-Mac meal and a twenty piece chicken nugget with a dozen cookies.
As soon as you happily reached out to give the cashier your money, he swatted your hand away and shoved his own cash at the associates face, “No, take mine.” he harshly ordered. The employee shakily agreed and accepted his money. 
You threw him a confused glance but before you could even open your mouth to question him, he spoke up, “I just know that if you pay for this, you’re gonna complain that you don’t have money to buy other shit,” he explained, a faint blush creeping onto his cheeks. 
You noticed this red tint, but decided to tease him instead of pointing it out, “Yeah, like gas,” you nodded with a sly smile. 
“Gas? You’re fifteen and don’t have a damn car, you idiot,” He argued, but the boy immediately paused as soon as he saw the suggestive expression that you held on your face. Things finally clicked as soon as you wiggled your eyebrows towards him. Gas… you meant weed. He angrily snatched the two soda cups that the cashier was extending out as he loudly yelled at you,  “FUCK! YOU MAKE IT SO DAMN HARD TO BE NICE TO YOU, YOU KNOW THAT?!” He screamed as you cracked up at his uncharacteristically slow uptake.
The two of you had decided to eat at a booth near a window. You found yourself being really surprised at the quality of this McDonald’s chairs. Bakugou loudly chastised you for gawking at the chairs like some freak before the two of you promptly began eating your food. 
It was mostly quiet between the two of you as the textures of the meal performed on your sensitive tongue until Bakugou finally spoke up, “Why do you put that nasty shit into your body?”
“Uh,” Your eyes danced away for a split second, “McDonalds?” your faced crinkled in confusion.
“No, you dumbass!” Bakugou fought the urge to facepalm, “marijuana!” he angrily corrected.
Oh… you felt yourself deflate for a moment, as the question absorbed into your mind. You suddenly let out a giggle, “I don’t know. It makes me feel good, I guess.” Bakugou had to fight another blush at the sight of you adorably shrugging your shoulders. 
“That’s a stupid answer. You can’t feel good on your own?”
You tilted your head as you thought about it for a moment. Of course, you could feel good on your own. Just take a look at you! You weren’t even very high anymore, yet you were still on cloud nine right now for some reason, “Well… I feel good right now with you.”
That did it. His adrenaline flared up in an instant. Bakugou couldn’t even come up with fluid words as a series of death threats and curses instinctively flooded to the forefront of his mind,  “S-shut up.”
You giggled at his loss for words before letting the conversation die again. The two of you once again found yourselves in silence as you sat with a smile on your face.
This time, it was you who broke the silence, “Thank you, for hanging out with me today. I really appreciate it.”
“Whatever, loser. Don’t get used to it,” he huffed, angrily stuffing a few fries into his mouth. 
“So…. there’s not a second date ahead?”
“I didn’t say that,” he grumbled, snatching his glare away from you and out of the restaurant window. 
So it was a date. A huge smile once again spread across your face for the millionth time that evening. You happily plopped another fry into your mouth at the sight of him blushing once more.

Septic AU: The Sound of Septic
((Inspired by my conversation with @bondedostae​ just now about how “Anti will always be the freaky goth kid rebelling against authority while hiding his love for classical music behind his jammin' garage rock band, tho xD” I literally could not help myself so have another JSEgoAU!))
Anti plays guitar (also bass when needed; guitar is his passion tho cuz he loves classical guitar but hides it behind his electric guitar lol) and is technical leader; he's also in love with Jackie cuz I love AntiHero he not only figured out Anti’s love of classical music but also fully supports it to the point that he got Anti nylon strings for his classical guitar without even being sure the goth had one.
Jackie's on drums (it helps him hammer out his anger and aggression; he hates how unfair the world is and loves that being in Anti's band means he can rave with Anti about garbage schools, failing adults, and the corruption in politics, etc) and sometimes does backup vocals with Anti who he’s in love with because AntiHero~ underneath his tough punk goth exterior, Anti’s just as heroic as he is and super sweet to boot (he’s seen Anti stand up to bullies for other people)!
Henrik is the keyboardist (or pianist because he can play both grand and synth) and was actually scouted for how fast he types and the fact that he's currently developing a game that turns your computer keyboard into a piano keyboard; he's probably the most chill out of all of them but he loves being a theatrical menace so he and Anti [and sometimes Jackie] will ham it up on stage just cuz.
Marvin's in charge of special effects (cuz he's a magician xD) and often uses this as an opportunity to experiment with chemicals and stuff; sometimes with rather disastrous results: he almost burnt down Anti's house once [Jackie literally saved most of their asses] and DID burn his own face; he now wears a mask in public but that burn in the mirror serves as a harsh reminder that he isn't perfect—he's not even a professional—so he doesn’t try something like that again.
Jameson handles props and sound when they record (Anti still finds it hilarious that the mute guy is the one that deals with their recording but he literally can't argue with the Brit's results); he was vouched for by Henrik who often uses JJ’s work in his games; but he also likes to sit in and observe JJ’s editing process because he's techy like that but also has a huge crush on the silent sound guy. xD
Chase sings while also playing guitar when Anti's on bass (he was scouted for scream-singing like a bloody musical number in the park after Stacy left him; he's now called Chase Broadway by Anti); he’s the unofficial leader of the band since he’s everyone’s dad friend but he still looks to Anti for guidance because the goth’s faith in his voice is literally the only thing between Chase and a bullet.
((As always, feel free to share your thoughts on this ^^ And big thanks to Bonnie for listening!))

And one more day before Saturday and that's Friday and that Saturday is the beginning of the conjunction of Mars and Venus where Venus will be obscured from the Earth's view and really all The fleets are beginning to fight and that's the effect but it needs to be protected and that's going to happen shortly and they know how to do it and they have done it before and protected against severe attack this time I don't think you'll be attacked that much but I don't know and they're prepping for it instead of cyclical and each time and they go up there a different fleet might have an opportunity and squeeze off a lot of shots and we're going to protect the planet and a lot of people say you won't and that's just their opinion. We hear what's going on with the Bradley GT and we want the molds cuz we want to make it as close as possible to the original, and we want to make it off the original molds that's how it's done there's tons of people who can't stand this what we're talking about and lots of them are super car builders or hypercar builders and you're saying this if he does that it's going to undercut everyone and he says it's back you know how to use them then you're uncomfortable models that people would buy in addition to this this is a different use they don't know what I'm talking about and people want this to be sold and they want to buy it and the problem is it usually it gets jammed up because so many people want it they can't get it sold and they can't buy it so they say that's probably what it is and it really is cuz they sell a lot of vehicles that would complement the system because of what they would be using it for. It's going on now and it is almost time good more information on this bum Trump and he's going to rent on everyone else about the museum. And it's going on now and see what people are saying it seems this guy is holding a couple secrets to his chest even if he's not the one doing it let him shield oh s*** the term I'm sorry Mac shut up then the super duper car and it's only a small modifications but we're going to make those when we make it from the molds and we can't seem to do that and we won't make the car unless we have those so they're hardly contested over those people think they can do it and we know they can't. It's so much fun because people used to have one and she had one and it's really happy about it and she knows where it is and she said so collectors item and you don't want to like do anything but make sure it doesn't want anymore and you can have someone professionally restore it but might not be worth as much and it's going to be with millions and millions and millions of dollars. All of them are yeah looks a little bit like a carnival ride the first one. And it kind of sucks so he changed it. It was a little bit like a dune buggy but it sold a lot of them and it's that gold metallic paint and come up with like a Gold version of it the kind of is a little metallic I think it'd be fun we're going to do that they say and the yellow and the red with the Bradley GT like seven on the bottom and so this is going to it's how he does things and this is going to be so cool there's so much going on and then this the only answers West Palm is under siege and BGA is there grabbing stuff
Thor Freya
I get it I'm kind of a wimp and he's over there and he's coming close to it and he's grabbing it because of the museum and we took turns with it really but this is going to suck and I have to go over there and it's dangerous over there for me and he doesn't feel bad at all it's true I was stalking him like a maniac and he says yes it's true and you're wrong in the wrong to sit here like a fat f****** huge idiot wart so I'm starting to get something he doesn't like me that's brilliant you're making a proper assessment finally but really I needed someone to say that about the place and he doesn't care he's after the molds and I'm probably going to sit in the way and get killed because people want them to make it and I do understand that it's stupid because I made the first one since he made the others and the same something about that
Trump
He's like your daddy and he's like Tommy F granddaddy okay I do know what I'm talking about and you two fools are in the way all the time he's constantly laughing at you you know that he's coming up with a lot of stuff she don't give him too much crap then you fight over it and for Christ's sake you you two are idiots bja is over there and now it's starting to heat up and we want him to have the molds but we want to know where they go and guess who's going to mess that up he raises his hand he says David Curran that small person that people don't know who he is and just saying no not him and so he says Neil adamiak he says no not him Mr Haddad no not him it's going to be these two Joel watts and Tommy f the newest Paul Nunez Debbie ever since you and he was in St John's and he was the guy calling her dad but it's the other one her dad is the first clone he's saying it was him and then he took it over from Trump so this is how it goes I'm tired of seeing you two blow by him and bother him you two suck so bad I'm going to kick your ass it's almost like you knew about these ships you don't care at all what he's saying and now it's a huge problem cuz you think you can threaten him cuz you're mentally ill I'm going to go to town on you he's going to kill everybody these things kick ass and he's already taking them off he's taking your spots in the tunnels and built his own you're fools

they’re not you.
#knbvdaychallenge2020
– Day 7 of KNB Valentine’s Week hosted by @vanilla-daydreams and @theuglycrybaby
A/N: Aaa this is the last day of the challenge. I hope everyone had fun with this cuz I know I definitely did. On a slightly different note...
          HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADMIN BLISS!!!  
I know I gave you a gift already but here’s another one cuz why not hehe. ~Lily
Summary: You and Kise were the best of friends, but you had a secret crush on him for the longest time. However, with so many of his fans around him on Valentine’s Day, you start to get even more discouraged...
Tumblr media
Your alarm clock just had to be broken today, the day you had a test during the first period no less. 
You quickly grabbed your bag and ran out the door. 
What’s even worse was that you burned a hole in your uniform too. 
Dammit, mom’s gonna kill me.
Groaning, you hurriedly made your way to the train station and thanked the heavens when you saw the train hadn’t left yet. 
You boarded and moved to the back of the train, where there weren’t as many people. The train doors closed behind you and you shivered slightly. 
You reached into your bag for your jacket but didn’t find it there. Then you remembered that you left them in your room this morning when you hurried out.
You groaned inwardly. 
Guess today’s gonna be a bad day for me. Should’ve expected it. I never have much luck on Valentine’s Day anyway.
You looked out of one of the train windows and couldn’t help but smile. The view may not be beautiful to everyone but it was to you. It was a view that just filled you with a calming sense of nostalgia.
Even today, with everything going wrong so far, it still somehow managed to calm you down, to some extent at least. 
“You’re always being such a worrywart y/n-chi”
His words suddenly came to mind. 
Just like the view from the train window, he’s one of the few things, or rather people, that could actually get you to smile and relax. 
It’s not that you weren’t a relaxed person. It’s just that a lot of the people you were with, your friends and classmates at school, somehow brought out a tenser side to you. 
That all changed when you met with Kise Ryouta though. Since the moment you two first talked, something just clicked. The two of you became really close and stuck together through thick and thin. He was what you deemed a really good friend, a best friend even. 
Suddenly, your phone started ringing. You picked it up and to no surprise was greeted by Kise’s panicked voice.
“Y/n-chiii, where are you? Assembly just finished and class is about to start. Sensei also seems like he’s in a bad mood today. You better hurryyy.”
“Oh great... sorry Ryouta. My alarm clock broke and my uniform got burned and ughh I’m not really having the best start for today. But I’m on the train to school and I think I can make it in like 10 minutes max.”
“Ok. Just hurry though, I don’t wanna have to do this test myself.”
“Ryouta, you’re gonna have to do it on your own anyway.”
“I know,” he whined. “It’s just that I feel more confident when you’re around.”
Your heart swooned at this. Yes, yes, here you were in the classic “in love with best friend but can’t tell him for fear of losing him” situation.
“Oh crap. Class started. Gotta go. Hurry. Please. Byeee.”
“Right. Almost the—”
He suddenly hung up on you. You understood though. Your first class teacher was pretty strict and is almost always in a bad mood.
A few seconds later, you felt the train slow to a stop. You sighed in relief as you realized this was your stop. Quickly gathering your things, you made a beeline for the exit and ran the rest of the way to school.
-----
“How’d you think you did?” Kise asked you after class ended. 
You had made it with just enough time to quickly finish the test. you didn’t have time to double-check the answers but at least you were able to complete it. 
“I think I did good enough. I mean I did study a lot last night and the test wasn’t that bad so I guess it should be fine. How about you?”
“Well I have a great tutor so I’m sure I did good too,” he replied, winking at you.
A small blush crept up to your face. 
Arghh, why’d he have to be all flirty and cute all the time?
As you were trying to calm yourself, a girl you’ve seen a few times before walked up to you and Kise. Completely ignoring you, she told Kise to come with her as she had “something important” she wanted to discuss with him.
You rolled your eyes. 
Kise looked at you as if asking for permission. You told him it’s fine and to go with her. 
“I’ll wait for you in class,” you said with a forced smile.
It was the same every year. Valentine’s Day just seems to give everyone ten times more confidence. 
It honestly scares you a bit though. Even though Kise kept saying there wasn’t anyone he really liked, you kept worrying that maybe, one day, someone would come and steal his heart. 
What’s even worse is that you were the main reason Kise was so popular.
It had started around middle school when puberty began to change Kise. At the time you were into photography and had also noticed how he had become much more attractive.
Knowing he was a naturally photogenic person and wouldn’t mind helping you out, you asked him to model a few pics for you. You posted them on social media and he immediately became a big hit. He told you he had fun doing it with you so you guys continued. Until of course, a professional agency scouted him. You two have still stayed close friends through it all though.
You’d always find it funny how much of a cliche the situation you were in was. 
Girl meets boy. Girl helps boy become successful model. Boy becomes popular with the ladies. Boy meets another girl and falls for her. Girl is left heartbroken as she’s had feelings for him this entire time.
At this point, you’ve kinda accepted it already. You did want to tell him how you really felt, but you valued your friendship with him way more. So that’s why you just enjoyed whatever time you had with Kise. That in itself was already more than enough to you.You took a seat in the classroom and took out your materials, waiting for Kise.
You tried not to think about what was going on between him and that girl because, despite everything, you still can’t help but get jealous. It’s only natural but it’s a hell of an annoying feeling and you knew it would only get worse if you fixated too much on it. 
Kise finally came to class a second before the bell rang. He held a small heart-shaped box in his hands. You glared at it but tried your best to hide your jealousy. 
Fortunately, Kise didn’t notice anything off and quickly came to sit beside you. 
-----
The rest of the day went by the same as every other Valentine’s. Kise would receive gift after gift and have to deal with all his fangirls and even some fanboys.
Today though, there seemed to be an extra amount of people giving him gifts, which you didn't think was possible.
Because everyone was always crowding around him, you decided to leave him for now. You felt kinda bad for him but there wasn’t exactly much you could do. Besides, you’d probably make things worse for him by being there. 
When school ended, you waited at the train station for Kise. You remembered he said there wasn’t any basketball practice today and you were hoping the two of you could go home together. You had sent him a text telling him you’d wait for him here. 
After waiting almost an hour though, you just about gave up and was about to board the next train when you heard a voice calling out to you.
“Y/n-chii! Wait!” 
You turned and saw him running up to you. He had a few chocolates, roses, and even a teddy bear in his arms. He came to stop in front of you, panting.
“I’m sorry for making you wait,” he said sounding sincere.
You tried to give him a sympathetic smile. “Well, I’m assuming you were probably cornered by those love-crazed people again so don’t worry about it. It’s not your fault anyway,” you said more bitterly than intended.
Kise fell silent. 
“Y/n? Are you ok?”
“Yeah, sorry. I'm just not really having a good day that’s all”
“Oh ok…”
Not knowing what to say you both stayed quiet.
You looked at the sign by the train tracks. There were 3 minutes left until the next train arrived. Kise gestured to an empty bench and the two of you moved to take a seat.
“Y/n,” Kise said softly. “There’s something I want you to know ok?”
You looked at him in slight confusion.
He cleared his throat and continued, “I may get presents and gifts from all those ‘love-crazed people’ as you put it. But none of them matter to me.”
At this, your confusion grew. What’s he trying to say?
“None of them matter, because, well because they’re not you.”
He looked at you, golden eyes shining.
It took you a second to process what he had just said, but when you did, you blushed heavily and quickly looked away.
He laughed, “Don’t be so shy y/n-chi. I thought you already knew anyway.”
“Knew what?” you asked trying to feign innocence.
“Knew that I like you of course,” he said with a suave smile.
“Oh,” your brain seemed to have short-circuited after hearing his words.
“Umm I like you too…” you mumbled lamely.
He smiled widely at you and you blushed back.
“Well if we both like each other I think it’s only right that I ask,” he said before standing up and extending a hand to you.
“Y/n L/n, will you be my valentine?”
You shyly nodded and took his hand, “Of course.”
The train arrived and he pulled you up, putting an arm around you as the two of you boarded the train. 
Needless to say, what had started off as a bad day ended up being one of the best days you’ve had in quite a long while.

Unexpected
Part 5: Sour lemonade
[Genre: social media, fluff, crack humor, slight angst?]
[Summery: After doing your brother a favor you end up in his apartment’s food pantry. What are you to do when your stomach starts to growl in need of food, oh and footsteps start to approach you.]
»»- — — — — - ❈ - — — — — -««
As you looked at your phone one last time you couldn’t believe how Jungkook could make fun of you in a time of despair. Then again what else could you expect from your shrimp-IQ friends. But you were one to talk considering your situation. How do you manage to get yourself in weird situations all the time? That is a question you still don’t have an answer to. And how did you find yourself in a pantry eating semi-hard Oreos? Again, no answer.
Just this morning you were doing completely fine, that is until your supposedly IQ 148 brother texted you. Apparently, he had left his oven on for the second time since he had moved into his apartment. Being a good sibling, and totally hadn’t bribed with food, you agreed to go check for him. Lucky he had left a spare key under and you wondered how your brother had not been robbed just yet.
His apartment was decently clean but that was expected from your neat freak sibling. He has always had a tendency for making sure everything was clean and in its place. Walking over to his kitchen you noticed that he had indeed left the stove on but somehow it hadn’t burned the pot that was on top, empty. Oh, how you wanted to know how he passed one of the hardest philosophy classes, yet he forgets everything sooner than the goldfish you had as children.
The only reason you didn’t ponder too much on it was because your stomach started to growl in demand for food. Taking food from a stranger’s home is wrong and all, but then again it wasn’t a stranger’s home it was your brother’s. So, with that out of the way you made your way over to the nearby pantry. To your surprise it wasn’t alphabetically organized. Instead, everything was all over the place and some things were even wrapped in aluminum foil. The only thing that you considered safe to digest was a packet of Oreos. It wasn’t brand new but there was a decent amount left. 
Just as you were about to introduce one of the cookies to your mouth you heard the door being opened. A cold shiver ran up your back and your dumb reflexes didn’t find any other solution except to hide. And where did you decide to hide? In the pantry of course. And that’s how you found yourself sitting on the cold-pantry floor.
You were dead silent in there. All you could hear was you slowly crunching on the Oreos that is until you started to hear footsteps. You heard the footsteps walk past you and the refrigerator being opened. Everything was going to be ok as long as you stayed quiet. Then as soon as the footsteps left you would bust out of there and run back to the safety of your apartment. Yes, everything was going to be a-ok.
But life doesn’t work like that, and instead, you were greeted with a flash of light. The door had been opened. Standing right before you was a young black-haired guy. He looked familiar but you couldn’t really put your finger on it. 
“I believe those are mind” he was pointing to the pack of Oreos sitting on your laps. You wanted to say something, but your mouth was full of dry Oreos, making it impossible for you to speak. All you could do was give him back the package and mumble a sorry. It was at that moment that you recognized who he was, Yoongi. You remembered seeing him when Namjoon brought his friends to lunch the other day. That just made everything so much more embarrassing.
“I’m sorry about that. I’m not an intruder, well sort of. My brother texted me saying that he left his stove on and wanted me to check it out. Of course, that fool HAD left the stove on. I honestly don’t know how he is school smart but life smart. I don’t even know if that makes sense, but yeah that’s kind of how I ended up here. Well, I guess that doesn’t explain why I’m eating these Oreos, or why I was in the pantry but that-” but before you could finish you saw that the man in front of you was laughing. Your cheeks started to burn and the only thing you wanted was for the earth to swallow you at that moment.
“I’m sorry y/n, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard anyone talk about Namjoon like that with such a passion. But how about instead of sitting on the floor you’re welcome to take a seat at the table.” You nodded and quick stood up. Cleaning yourself up a bit you walked over to the table in what you were guessing was the dining table.
Papers, pens and empty cups of Starbucks coffee were scattered all over the table. If you could take a guess you would say that a whole tornado had passed over the table, done a little chicken dance, had a party and puked out the coffee cups. You say down and out of curiosity picked up a paper. To your surprise it was a music sheet. You had seen music sheets before when you were younger and would sneak into your brother’s room. Needless to say, you weren’t quite familiar with actually reading it. Picking up another sheet you saw something that you actually understood, words. Of course, they weren’t just random words, but it looked like some sort of poem or song. Looking back up to where Yoongi had gone you saw that he was in the kitchen probably getting something to drink. Shrugging to yourself you decided to give it a quick read.
⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯ So far away, if I have a dream If I have a dream that flies away Don’t fall away, yea, if I have a dream If I have a dream that flies away,
Dream, I will be there for your creation until the end of your life 
Dream, wherever you might be, it will be lenient  Dream, you will fully bloom after all the hardships  Dream, though your beginnings may be humble, may the end be prosperous
Yeah, fuck, I live because I can't die Nothing is more miserable and lonely than not having something you want to do The only thing everyone around me says Is to come to my senses I try to vent out my anger but the only one here with me is me So what’s the point of venting? Every morning, it's terrifying to open my eyes, It's terrifying to breath
So far away, if I have a dream If I have a dream that flies away Don’t fall away, if I have a dream If I have a dream that flies away ⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯
It was beautiful. You wanted to continue but before you could the piece of paper was snatched away from your fingers. Yoongi had taken the paper away and had proceeded to pick up all the papers on the table.
“I’m so sorry, I shouldn’t have read over something that wasn’t mine. I’m sorry but it was really good, did you write them?”
“Yeah, it’s a little something I have been working on for a while now. I like it somewhat, but I’m still not completely done with it.” Putting all of his papers on a chair and pushing the cups to the ground he poured you a drink. “here you probably need it after eating all those Oreos with nothing to drink. We don’t have any milk right now, but we do have some lemonade.”
“Thanks, I really needed it” taking a generous sip of the lemonade you soon realized that might have been a mistake. It tasted really sour with just a tiny pinch, if any, of sugar. “umm… Yoongi, it's quite a different taste.”
Yoongi looked confused but after taking a sip from his own cup you knew he understood. He tried to swallow the sour fluid discreetly, but his face couldn’t hid how much he just wanted to spit it all out. You couldn’t help but giggle at his silly actions, yet adorable in a way.
“I might just have forgotten to add sugar.”
After fixing the lemonade and making it much more drinkable you two shared a cup of two of it. You two talked over the music sheets and everything that was on the table before. You complimented him on his creative and sentimental writing skills. It turns out that Yoongi had always wanted to produce his own music and one day become a professional music producer. You two also talked over your brother and his embarrassing moments as a kid and so much more.
Talking to him was so easy and you truly enjoyed every second of it. After looking at your phone you saw that it had gotten late and that you should really get going. Saying your goodbyes, you left and headed over to your apartment. A smile that you just couldn’t hold back was stuck on your face all the way to your apartment. When you had arrived at your door and were looking for your keys in your pocket you also found an Oreo.
“some sour lemonade would definitely go well with this”

*SVTFOE Bloopers, Finale Season Part 3
•Gone Baby Gone
-(Setting:Teen Meteora and Mariposas cave.)
Star:(hesitantly slurps and gulps the skin flakes and garlic spider chow) “Y-Yummy”
Adult Marco:(eagerly drinks the soup) “Ahhh! Really takes me back. Though I always used to-“ (he stops and starts to sweat panting)
Star:(looks concerned for Adult Marco) “Are you okay? You look-“ (suddenly feels something) “Oh boy!” (starts to sweat and pant as well)
(Teen Meteora and Mariposa snicker)
Adult Marco:(standing up panicking) “What’s goin’ on!? My mouth is burning!” (screams and runs off-screen)
(Star screams and runs off-screen too. Teen Meteora and Mariposa try to contain their laughter)
Director Daron:(heard off-screen) “Uh, what’s going on over here? Can someone please tell me”
Staff Member:(heard off-screen) “Hang on, let me check”
(Teen Meteora and Mariposa can’t hold it much longer and burst out laughing. Adult Marco runs past the scene seemingly breathing fire while screaming flailing his arms in the air)
Staff Member:(heard off-screen) “Okay, we found the problem! Bryana (Teen Meteora) and Isabella (Teen Mariposa) secretly put Ghost Peppers in the soup for the scene”
Director Daron:(sighs) “Oh my God, girls not cool!”
(Teen Meteora falls back laughing and Teen Mariposa hunches over laughing holding onto her stomach and stomping her foot)
Star:(runs past the scene holding a water bottle) “CAN SOMEONE OPEN THIS THING!”
-(Behind the Scenes. Wyscan is sitting in a make-up chair half complete with his magical look with only his face not painted and wearing a bald cap for his wig. He’s speaking with the Make-Up Artist next to him surround by boxes of various colored paints and brushes)
Wyscan:(exasperated) “Oh my God! You would not believe the day I had getting over here! First, my limo got stuck in traffic, so I was 2 hours late for rehearsal” (the Make-Up Artist adjusts the chair to lounge back and Wyscan closes his eyes as he continues his venting. Little does he know, Teen Meteora and Mariposa quickly and very quietly cover the Make-Up Artists mouth and drag her away off-screen) “Then, I was attacked by those frogs that escaped from that new show, “Ann-phibia”, or whatever studio by some liberal going all, “Free the Frogs!” Ugh! I swear one of those slimy things crawled in my hair!” (cringes as Teen Meteora and Mariposa come back standing on either side of Wyscan snickering and picking up make-up tools) “Finally, those creepy twin Pony Head girls wouldn’t stop playing dumb country rap song, “Old Town Road”, during rehearsal and now that songs stuck in my head” (groans) “Anyways sorry about talking your ear off, I’ll just sit back, lay back and let you work your magic, okay hun”
(Teen Meteora and Mariposa simultaneously pretend to be the Make-Up Artist and go, “Mmhmm”, mockingly while giving one another devious looks. They get to work applying make-up on Wyscan super fast with pink mist and after they’re complete, the mist fades away and Teen Mariposa readjusts Wyscans sweat to make him sit up right as Teen Meteora holds up a hand mirror in front of him. Wyscan opens his eyes and gasps at seeing his prank make-up job. His face is powdered white with hot pink lipstick, lavender eyeshadow and three stickers on his face with a heart, a star and a rainbow plastered on it and his wig was a big curly orange afro. Teen Meteora and Mariposa laugh. Wyscan screams angrily and jumps off his seat)
Wyscan:(frustratedly) “You little brats! Wait til’ my agent hears about this!”
(Teen Meteora and Mariposa stop laughing and put their arms around Wyscan in-between them and Teen Mariposa pulls out her iPhone to take a pic of the three of ‘em as the two strike a pose. Wyscan groans and we see a flash and hear a click)
-Wyscan:(irritatedly) “Ugh, what’s taking so long over there?!”
Teen Mariposa:”I’ve changed my mind”
Wyscan:”I thought we had a deal!”
Wyscan’s Stomach:”And baby’s hungry!” (slurping)
Teen Mariposa:”You want the girl...you’ll” (tries to pull out her bo staff, but she fumbles with it around her hands and it falls to the ground making a loud clank sound as Teen Mariposa cringes. She stares down at the staff as the staff off-screen laugh. Wyscan laughs too and Teen Mariposa gets annoyed with him) “Shut up!”
-(The background fight music plays as Teen Mariposa starts to fight Wyscan with her staff. Wyscan blocks her attacks and pushes her backward with his sword. He quickly knocks her away and pins her to the ground. We hear a crack and Wyscan stops fighting to stand over Teen Mariposa looking confused. The background fight music dies out and Teen Mariposa sits up and picks up her bo staff which is now split almost in half and dangling on one side. She stares at it dangling before nervously chuckling. Wyscan laughs as well)
•Sad Teen Hotline
•Jannanigans
-Tom:(to Marco) “I mean, if you and your best friend, ended up being something else”

Tom:(gasps. Turns to where the ball came from) “What the f-“ (a tennis ball is shot at him and ends up in his mouth silencing him with him mumbling, dropping his arm full of tennis balls and losing his balance. Another tennis ball is shot at and knocks Tom down)
Director Daron:(heard off-screen) “Who’s using the tennis ball shooting machine!?”
(the camera pans to see Janna using it and shooting tennis balls around the set. We hearing glass shattering, people screaming and see objects falling down)
Janna:(stops shooting and calls out) “Hey, Pony Head! You lied! This thing does work!” (continues shooting tennis balls around and chuckles evilly as more things break and peoples screaming are heard)
Director Daron:(groans off-screen) “I told you to put that thing away before the shoot!”
Equipment Manager:(flatly off-screen) “Sorry”
•Mama Star
-First Born Unicorn:(angrily) “STOP THROWING SH*T IN MY REALM!”
-Director Daron:(heard off-screen) “Cut! Who the Hell is editing the horses dialogue up there!?”
(the camera pans up to the sound room where we see Teen Meteora and Mariposa sitting in the Sound Room with Teen Mariposa typing as Teen Meteora giggles)
Teen Mariposa:(typing with each word) “Every.time.you.come.into.my.realm.you.always.f**K.sh*t.up!” (stops typing and laughs with Teen Meteora)
(they stop laughing when the notice the cameras and go wide eyed with shock)
•Ready, Aim, Fire
•The Right Way
-(the giant Solarian knight is trying to find its balance and then suddenly stands still. It starts dancing as “Old Town Road” plays. We pan to see Shonda and Shinda smugly next to their record player with Teen Meteora and Mariposa smugly next to them watching as Teen Mariposa controls the giant Solarian knight with a remote)
Teen Meteora:(proudly) “We baaaaaaad”
Teen Mariposa:(proudly) “And we like it like that!”
(all four girls laugh)
•Here to Help
•Pizza Party
•The Tavern at the End of the Multiverse
-Eclipsa:(to Moon as she’s positioning her pool stick) “You know, I never got a chance to thank-“ (the pool stick cuts a tear on the table. Eclipsas eyes widen. Meteora laughs from her baby carrier Eclipsas wearing) “Whoops!” (stands up straight covering her mouth blushing)
-Star:”Glossaryck! Glossaryck! Please, don’t leave me here with my dysfunctional family!” (sighs) “Okay”, (waves disinterestedly at Eclipsa’s tapestry) “Hi Eclipsa” (turns to Moons tapestry) “Motherf**ker”
Director Daron:(off-screen) “Cut! Star!”
Star:”What!? It’s what the fans are thinking after what just recently happened!”
Director Daron:(scoldingly still off-screen) “You can’t curse in a children’s show!”
(Toffee is shown casually sitting in a chair next to the Darons)
Toffee:”I believe that’s what the kids call, “Too real””
Star:”Oh, can it Toffee! You’re not really in this episode it’s just a prerecording of your line from our first finale! Besides, my character is just acting appropriately from her mothers betrayal and all the chaos that’s going on!”
Toffee:”Yeah, but who was relieved to be the smartest character in the show?” (gives her a look)
(Rosemary is just sucking her bowl of gumbo next to Toffee in her leveled chair nodding concededly)
Toffee:”Rosemary, sweetie, flip to the last page of the script for this episode please”
(Rosemary puts down her gumbo, wipes her mouth, picks up the episodes script, flips through it professionally and reads through it first)
Rosemary:”It says, “Star turns to Moons tapestry and says mournfully, “I guess this means Toffee was right””
Toffee:(puts a hand to his ear pretending like he’s deaf) “I-I’m sorry, what was that, I couldn’t hear that” (makes a smug look at Star)
(Star looks peeved)
Rosemary:”She says, “I guess this means Toffee” (looks up at Star shouting) “WAS RIGHT!””
Toffee:(turns over his hand smugly in the air) “Surprise”
Star:(has her fists balled by her sides and an angry expression with her teeth clenched yet she speaks in a mellow tone) “I am so glad, you’re dead.......on the show”
•Cleaved
-(Behind the Scenes. Almost everyone from the show is surrounded around The Realm of Magic set murmuring to one another. Daron Nefcy marches onto the green screen set of The Realm of Magic while making splashes on the shallow water spread on the ground. She clears her throat and puts her hands on her hips making everyone stop and stare at her)
Director Daron:(loudly and clearly) “Alright, listen up everyone! This is our last episode of the show and I want this done well! You think just cuz it’s the end you can do crazy sh*t like goof around, or do improve or even curse!? Well think again! This isn’t a playground people! This is a ✨spectacle!✨ You all worked for four years to make this a good show and I want you guys to take this seriously! You don’t know how much pride I put into this to make it my “magical girl fantasy” come true! I had to change a lot in this story to get this green lite, work through sleepless nights, have my episodes get premiered a day after the next in a twisted scheduling and deal with psycho fans just to get this done! Now I want you all to get out there and make this the best damn finale a children’s show has done! Even if we might get backlash for it, F**k it! Cuz we gave it our all! Now places everyone! PLACES! (marches out of the set making loud splashes as she departs with everyone in stunned silence)
(Star and Marco walk onto the set with small splashes as the two watch Daron march off looking silent and a bit unnerved)
Star:(rubs her arm) “Ok.........I guess, we’re gonna give it our all then” (laughs nervously)
Marco:(quietly) “If we ever do the reunion show” (points at Star) “You’re sitting next to her, not me!”
-Marco:(grabbing onto Star) “Star! Ok, what’s the plan!?”
Star:(pointing to an upward waterfall) “Uh, you have to go back through the Earth-“ (the upward shooting waterfall slowly starts decreasing as the lights luminate the set and the wind effects stop. The upward waterfall now just spits out bits of water from the tube as objects are lightly blown onto the set from the giant wind fan and The Realm of Magic turns back to a green screen)
Star:”Is someone using all the water supply again!?”
-Mina Loveberry:(walking smugly past Star and her powers) “And the thing about good ideas is they tend to hang arou-Ow!” (stops and picks up her foot groaning in pain and hoping) “Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow! OW! Ahhhhhh! Damn it! I stepped on a freakin’ mini pretzel!” (hisses while still holding up her foot and hopping in place) “God! Why did my character have to go all native with their feet!?”
Director Daron:(heard off-screen) “Can someone get some iodine!.......and the janitor!”
-(Marco is skateboarding down the street and falls off. The big build up music stops on a record scratch)
Marco:(groans and sits up on one knee) “Sorry! That wasn’t the big fall yet!” (under his breath as he’s getting up and adjusting himself) “God damn it, Marco! This your last day of shooting and you’re making an a** of yourself!”
Director Daron:(heard off-screen sternly) “DID YOU CURSE!?”
Marco:(panics and waves his hands in front of him) “No! No! No! No! I swear!” (panics more) “I mean, not as in swearing, I mean as in “I swear I didn’t curse!” Really” (laughs nervously)
