" Arranged Friendship "

: Male Reader

Summary: How would Luka react once he found out he had been set up with an arranged relationship with someone.

That said person was, You, who's almost as popular as Luka himself. Will he grow to like him in the future?

Warnings: Luka is a warning

himself,possessiveness,obsession, threat s, blackmail.

Requested/Not requested

At first he didn't like this idea at all, but once he realized that the fanbase will like the idea he decided to go with the plan. And so his owner scheduled a meet up with your owner along with you. The day came and you had met eachother.

Both of you already knew who you two were already because of your reputations in Alien Stage.

But he still decided to introduce himself anyways, putting up a smile and a demeanor that was welcoming but his aura said otherwise.

You didn't mind, greeting him with the same enthusiasm with no other malicious aura. The two aliens had a discussion with eachother about the arranged friendship. Luka's owner stated that this would make a huge impact towards the fanbase, bringing more popularity and secureness for the two of you.

I mean two well known singers having a collaboration and potential relationship with eachother? The fanbase will increase their likability towards the two. Luka the well known

"Prince" having a close relationship with you, specified to be a real life Siren because of how you enchant your opponents. It will surely bring alot of fans cheering and bring more support.

Both of their owners aareed with the plan andsigned a contract. They left the room to either talk more about the Collab while the two of you spend some times with each other. Once they fully left the room and closed the door, Luka resorted his face into the original calm and collected look.

"I only agreed to this so that my popularity will grow, we'll only be acquaintances nothing more." He stated sternly, obviously he did not want this arranged friendship to happen but it will help him big time. At first he expected a disappointed and an upset look from you, but you were still smiling.

"Of course! I expect nothing more than that, I won't force you to do stuff you don't wanna do.

But we still have to convince the public about our 'relationship. But I can tone it down to your comfortability!" You stated in your cheery voice, he was a bit taken back by your upbeat personality despite his strict and straightforward statement.

He looked away before humming in agreement.

You were an interesting little thing, as much as he hated to admit. He wanted to know more about you. Your reputation your status,and what his and your fans think of you. Perhaps he can find some dirt on you that he can use against if you ever step out of line.

He tried but couldn't find any dirt on you suprisingly. You were almost as popular as him and yet you barely had any haters or rumours about you. Sometimes he might even think your owner had payed someone to delete posts that would tarnish your reputation. Because he seriously could not find any.

The fans also took the announcement really well.

Some obsessive fans, mostly Luka's, did not take it well and gave death threats to you. Online only because they're scared jealous bitches.

You paid no attention to the negative reactions from.. those kind of fans--and focused on convincing the fanbase that the relationship was real.

Luka was not really a fan of people getting into his personal space. But he did like getting into people's personal space. In random moments when you're busy, he would randomly walk up to you, literally put his face close to yours to the point your noses are touching, just to say hello then walk away. leaving you there with a confused expression.

"This is [Name]! Name love his personal space."

"This is Luka! Luka also loves [Name]'s personal space."

During fan meet ups, the place is usually verycrowded. You always put a hand on his shoulder or waist just in case it gets too crowdy. The first time you did it, he flinched; but didn't exactly pulled or slapped hand away. For the entertainment you would often put your hand on his waist even though the place isn't crowded.

The fans love it.

During interviews, you would always hold his hand in which he finds odd. Whenever you answered a question in the interview you would play with his fingers. Or if he was the one answering, you could occasionally squeeze it for encouragement.

Throughout the "relationship" his owner mentioned how you were always the one engaging with physical affection. In order to convince the public, he'll need to initiate it too.

He just rolled his eyes and lazily agreed before walking away. The first time he initiated it was during one of your "dates" You were busy coming up a song to sing when he unexpectedly held your hand and leaned on you without saying anything.

You just squeeze his hand as anacknowledgement before continuing to come up with your song. After that interaction he started to become more and more affectionate.

Occasionally giving hugs, all kind of hugs really. Back hugs,side hugs, waist hugs whatever the variety. You would always return them two times the warmth. Sometimes he thinks your feelings were real or that youre maybe a good actor.

You guys know those ship edits on tiktok? The aliens would totally make them. You two would always watch it with amusement, sometimes amazed by some of their editing skills. You would always like each single edit.

Despite all the dates,affection,and loving interactions. At the end of the day he would always remind you that this was all for the public entertainment and to get more attention from the fans. On bad days, he would say rather hurtful things.

"Don't mistaken my affection to you as a real thing, none of it contain real feelings."

"Don't let it get to your head, this is nothing more than pure entertainment."

"This is just a key for more survival during Alien

Stage performance."

"We're just acquaintance, nothing more."

All what he said did hurt, a lot. But it was also true, he has to remind you that none of it was real. But at the same time you wished he didn't say those things to you, the least he could do is not remind you. You didn't sayanything, only nodding and agreeing to what he says despite the hurtful impact it had given you.

Haha, maybe you really are a masochist.

Currently you and Luka were doing a Collab performance forc-suggested by your owners for the fans. Luka as always, caught most of the fan's attention. You didn't really mind or find it upsetting, I mean he's much popular and talented than you so it was expected. You guys were down with the last line, the original plan was that the two of you were just gonna look at eachother in a loving way. But he had other plans..

While you two were singing the last line, he went even closer. You were unfazed by this, you had gotten used to him being so close to your face already. But what he did next caught you off guard..

He kissed you.

No not on the cheek or forehead. On the lips.

The cheers grew louder, the music had already stopped. But you were only focused on the feeling of his soft lips kissing yours. By then he had already pulled away, you can't help but linger more. stopped. He just smiled and looked at you with such fondness, but you already knew his kiss meant nothing to him.

After the performance you two went backstage, switching personalities. He always turned cold whenever you two weren't in public. His eyes held nothing but emptiness and disgust. You expected this but why does it still hurt? And as usual he always remind you in the end.

"The kiss meant nothing." He spat out, it made your heart ache. You hated to admit this but you grew feelings as the relationship went on. You couldn't control it really, Luka had always been a great actor. His charismatic and enthusiastic persona when he's in public, the way he's so affectionate with you and the way he talks so fondly as if he really were Inlove with you.

You couldn't help but hope he felt the same thing. It was starting to hurt so maybe letting this feeling go was for the best.

It was another start of a new season of alien stage. And it looks like your performance is the first, how lovely. You didn't really like joining Alien Stage, you never really liked seeing your opponents die. Why should someone die just because they weren't as good as their opponent. But you can't say anything about it, a sad reality.

So you always tried singing your best, constantly making your opponent feel comfortable and make them sing for fun instead of singing because they wanna live. You wanted their last moments to feel comfortable and fun rather than scared.

It's what gave you your well known title "The Siren". Many documents and news stated that you would often enchant your opponents by using your voice. Brainwashing them so that they'll lose. That was not the truth, you could tell that your past opponents enjoyed singing with you. Happy that they were able to sing with joy and not out of pressure. But you could careless about what the media thought of you. You had to practice for the performance.

Luka didn't know what to feel about you. He had already stated before that he did not have any feelings for you. You were nothing more than a mere acquaintance. But ever since this relationship had started, he started to feel more possessive about you. He always hated how you always smile to other people or aliens. The same smile you give to him, wasn't he supposed to be the only one receiving that smile?

He always hated when you give other fans affection too, whether it be a handshake or a pat on the head. He would always put his arm around yours and pull you away from them. Silently giving your fans a glare everytime they get too close. He always looked smug whenever you out your hand on his waist infront of your fans.

Throughout the relationship he started to take note of things your like,your favorites,and the type of music you like. Heck he might even know things about yourself you didn't even know off. He knows more about you. You would always try and point out the things he do but he always dismiss it by saying it could tarnish the view of the relationship.

Hm..now that he thinks of it he never really saw one of your performances with your opponents. He has heard alien's opinions and views about your performances but never really tried watching one. Maybe he should watch your performance tomorrow..

You were a bit shocked to see Luka sitting on one of the chairs in the backstage, as if he was waiting for you.

"Luka? What are you doing here, I thought you were gonna practice." You asked walking towards him, maintaining a distance from him. He silently took note of how further the distance than it normally is.

"Practicing would just bore me, I already know I'll win the round anyway." He responded lazily, you sweatdrop a bit but he wasn't exactly wrong. He can win matches without trying..

"I see but that doesn't exactly answer my question, what are you doing here?" You asked once more.

"I came to watch your performance. Is that a problem?" He asked, you quickly stummered ago dismiss that idea.

"N-no, not all!" You answered quickly "I just-this is just unexpecting since you never usually watch my performance.."

"Would it be so bad to watch my lover's performance?" He teased, getting closer to you. You subconsciously stepped back.

"Haha I appreciate what you're doing but you don't have to try so hard to convince the audience we're actual liver, I think we already fooled them.." You responded, he didn't exactly know what he felt just now but he did not like it. It felt like his heart disease had gotten worse when you said those words, but alas he was too prideful to say anything.

"I know, but can't hurt to be more cautious right?" He smiled sweetly but his aura gave off a malicious intention. You just nodded and looked away from him.

"Ah, I have to go. The performance will be in a few minutes." You quickly grabbed your mic and walked to the door "I'll see you after the performance."

He stood there silently, you were acting off than your usual self. Whenever he mentions about you two being lovers you would get flustered, covering your face in hopes it will hide your blush. It did but you didn't know that your ears turn red too, haha how cute. Either way the way you acted just now was weird. You looked awkward and stiff.

He just sighed and walked out of the door to the reserved VIP seats to watch your performance, he'd rather watch it in real life rather than those holograms.

Luka sat on his seat while waiting for the round to start. His owner had bought him a lightstick from your company's merchandise of you, saying he should use it to cheer you on. He didn't need that useless thing, he already knows you'll will this round effortlessly. He snapped out of his thoughts when the lights finally came on, the spotlight shining your opponent.

As always the opponent looks scared and pressured, their voice cracking a bit as they song. It seems like they know their fate in this round, that's good. But when it was your turn, the crowd went wild as the spotlight went to you. Ah..the poor opponent, they must feel so embarassed and inferior now.

But the next thing you did really made him almost break the lightstick in his hand due to how hard he gripped it. You decided to hold their hand and encouraged them to sing. Eventually they did, their voice wasn't cracking anymore,they weren't frowning and they looked like they were enjoying the performance.

You were dancing with them,you were smiling with them,you looked at them with fondness, as if they were your lover. The aliens around him silently moved away because of his malicious aura. They could've sworn they saw a deadly glint in his eyes just now.

The performance came to an end, the collar on the opponent's neck soon blew up, killing them. He felt satisfaction travel through his veins as he watched your opponents blood stain the stage. But he didn't exactly like how you looked sad as they died. Shouldn't you be happy? That you won and survived. Why are you feeling pity for a low life human that was lower than your status.

Soon you were led to the backstage by the robotic guards. He stood up suddenly, making the aliens flinch and back away. He paid no attention to them and focused on going to the backstage. He wanted to know what caused him to feel so angry by what happened.

He was expecting you at the backstage room but he saw you standing in the hallway, looking at something on your hand. He silently walked towards you and got on his tippy toes to whisper in your ear.

"Boo~" he whispered, you gripped the object in your hand and took a step back. You sighed knowing it was just Luka and not some crazy fan that got through security.

"Luka! It's just you, thank goodness.." You sighed in relief, hand still gripping the object. He looked at your fists and questioned you.

"What's in your hand?" He asked, you blinked before opening your hand to reveal a ring. What are you doing holding a ring? Was it for him? "Are you that eager to marry me already?"

Your face turned red at the suggestion "W-wait I didn't mean it like that?!" You rubbed your head by teasing nature "It was my opponent's ring, I accidentally pulled it when I was dancing with them."

His smile turned upside down when you explained, what are you doing with the ring of your opponent? He calmed down before taking the ring off your hands and looked at it. Hm, it looked quite expensive by the looks of it but easily affordable by him.

You looked at him with a confused expression, you never really saw take an interest in things like this. But you were shock when he decided to drop the ring to ground and stomped on it. You quickly yet gently pushed him away to do any more damaged. Unfortunately the ring was broken into pieces.

"Luka why did you do that?!" You looked at him with disbelief, he scoffed.

"Why are you so upset about it? It's just the opponent's ring, you have more things to worry about other than that useless thing." He spat out.

"That's still disrespectful! I can't believe you did that." You looked at him with disappointment. "What got you so worked up?! From the very you could care less about me, my interactions with my fans,and how I perform. You keep reminding me that this relationship, US, is just a contract. Why do you suddenly care about me no-.."

You stopped once you heard him sniff, you looked at him properly now. His face was turned away, his hair hiding his face but you could still see the tears that were about to fall from his eyes. He was trembling like he was out in the cold and his arms were tightened into a fist. You accidentally made him cry.

"Oh..oh I'm so sorry Luke--i didn't mean to yell at you like that." You gently hugged his body, his face burrying into your chest. Muffling the sound of his sniffing by how hard he's trying not to cry. "I'm sorry I'm just..just frustrated by this whole contract. I got attached and eventually fell for you but you kept reminding me that this was all a contract I just..couldn't control my emotions anymore.."

You confessed, he stayed quiet before weakly punching your chest. He pulled his face from your chest, his eyebrows were furrowed and his cheeks were red due to him crying. God you just wanted to scoop him up and kiss his face.

"I'm no better, I never had alot of chances to feel this kind of emotion. It was weird when I felt angry by how you treated your opponent, as if they were your own lover. I decided to take out my anger by making you angry.." He admitted, your eyes went wide by what he just stated.

"You were..jealous?" You muttered, he looked up to you with an embarassed expression.

"I was not!" He spat out.

"Are too, is that why you've been giving my fans glares all the time and pulled me away from them?" You laughed a bit, he pushed you away but your grip on him was tight.

"Okay now you're just teasing me." He scoffed

"But it's okay for you to tease me?..Luka..Luka don't ignore me please, Luke-" You sighed but smiled, alas your feelings are reciprocated. Although his possessive and obsessive issues are a tad bit scary..You already knew he has you wrapped around his finger. You fell for his trap.

someone new - lee chan

song inspo: enchanted - taylor swift 

warning(s): angst, tiny bit of fluff?

synopsis: love has always been hard for you but with chan it seemed easy, until it wasn’t.

heart to heart vday collab masterlist

when you and chan met it seemed like the world had slowed down for you. it was enchanting, really. he was surrounded by his friends in a cramped night club when his eyes caught yours from across the room. your shy smile seemed to draw him in as he pushed through the crowd to introduce himself. 

no one wanted to believe him when he said he met a girl that night and none of your friends could believe that you gave a loser like him your number. but there was something about the aloof smile he gave you after he almost tripped walking up to you that had you hooked. that’s why you found yourself out in the middle of the night a lot with the windows down blasting all your favorite songs while he drove you two around the city till the sun came out. 

no one understood the connection the two of you had but they didn’t need to. the only thing anyone needed to know was that you were in love and you hoped chan was too. 

it was safe to say it was hard to understand lee chan sometimes, even when you two were as close as your feet to the ground were. or maybe you two were as close as the moon and sun considering you never knew he had a crush. at least all his friends made it out to be a crush. 

chan never spilled the beans on who it was and you hoped it was because he liked you and he was just terrified to ruin your guys’ friendship - which is something you two didn’t have in common. 

one night you decided enough was enough, you were finally going to confess to him and what better way than to do it on valentines day - even if it was a little cliche. you had the whole night planned out, from the second you two woke up to right now. it was dinner time and you asked chan to meet you at a restaurant that you had spent weeks getting a reservation at. 

you and chan had come separately because you had some last minute things you needed to take care of, such as the freshly polished silver chain you had tucked away in the pocket of your long coat. you remembered chan eyeing it awhile ago when you two had taken a trip to the mall to buy someone a gift and when you two had split ways you ran back to the shop to buy it - even if it costed you almost your whole car payment (chan was worth it after the years he had been putting up with you). 

a couple more minutes were spent in your cars as you fixed your appearance a little, smoothing down fly hairs and straightening out your clothes. you wanted to look as good as possible, even though you know chan wouldn’t care if you had shown up in a hoodie and leggings. 

it felt like an eternity as you walked into the restaurant and followed the waitress to the table where chan was already sitting, his normally messy hair slicked back as he talked quietly on the phone with someone. you waited patiently for him to be finished before you made yourself known. 

“chan!” he almost jumps out of his seat as you laugh quietly at how startled he got.

“i thought i was going to have a heart attack.” he lets out a dramatic sigh as he smiles back at you, watching you take a seat across from him. 

“you clean up good.” you whistle lowly at his appearance, he definitely looked a lot more dressed up than you. 

“oh thanks.” he blushes lightly as he scratches his cheek - a nervous habit he picked up a while ago. “you look pretty.” he offers you a shy smile. 

“thank you.” it's your turn for your face to start heating up as you pick up the menu to look at their drink selection. “do you know what you’re going to order yet?” chan hums quietly as he looks back down at his own menu. 

“i was just thinking of having a house salad.” you look up at your best friend curiously. 

“are you not hungry?” you watch him shrug a little before his phone dings quietly, his hands typing away at the screen as he responds to whatever message he got before setting his phone back down and apologizing. 

“i’m trying to save my appetite.” he doesn’t dare look you in the eyes. a small pit begins to form in your stomach as you begin to think that maybe he didn’t want to be there with you. 

“oh?” you tried to keep your voice steady as you went back to looking at your own menu. “if i didn’t know any better i would think that you had another date later.” the silence was a little too long for your liking as you looked back up at chan who was already staring at you wide eyed. “what?” 

“how did you…” you felt your heart stop a little. 

“you have another date later?” you swallow the lump in your throat. 

“i do..” his voice is small before he looks back down at his menu, trying to distract the way your fallen face hurt him. 

“with whoo?” you tried to sound excited for him. 

“her name is lin, we have bio chem together..” his voice shook a little. “she had asked me if i wanted to join her for dinner later and i couldn’t say no..”

“is she the one you have a crush on?” 

“what?” he looks back at you wide eyed like an owl. 

“y’know, seungkwan can’t keep his mouth shut about you liking someone.” the laugh you let out sounded a little bitter before you sighed quietly. “you don’t have to sit here and eat with me if you have plans.” 

“no i want to be here with you i ju-”

“you just want to hang out with lin more, right? i get it.” you offer him the best fake reassuring smile you could muster. “you finally got asked out by a girl for valentines day, you shouldn’t have to spend it with your best friend when you can spend it with her instead.” 

“y/n..” his voice trailed off as he tried to think of what to say, which only made you sigh quietly. 

“just go be with her now chan..” this time your smile was genuine, even if your lips shook as you held back your tears. “enjoy your valentine's day with someone who isn’t me for once.” 

“but i..” his sentence got caught in his throat as he watched you look back down at your menu. “do you really want me to go?” he whispered. you couldn’t trust your voice anymore as you nod your head. a loud silence fell over the two of you as minutes passed by before chan finally stood up, quietly dismissing himself before he left the restaurant. 

a single tear fell down your cheek as you tried to hold your sobs in, not wanting to break down in the middle of the restaurant. why did it have to turn out like this? today was supposed to be the perfect day, where you finally confessed to the love of your life. 

“just… please don’t be in love with her.” you whispered to yourself as you whipped the tear off your face before grabbing your phone to text the one person you knew was free. 

‘jeonghan.. do you want to come have dinner with me and then watch a movie after?’

‘i thought you were out with chan right now?’

‘didn’t go as planned.’ 

‘send me your location’ 

after sending him the name of the restaurant you put in your drink order along with something to drink for jeonghan when he got there. even if you weren’t able to spend valentine's day with the man that enchanted you from day one, at least you were able to spend it with someone who could lighten your mood - even just a little.

[ PAIRING ] Kishibe x m!reader [ AUTHOR'S NOTE ] This is one of my pieces for @semisgroupie's What's Done in the Dark Collab. I decided to write Kishibe as a famous art dealer creeping on an unwitting art student. Thank you for letting me participate! (Yes, this is a repost.) [ SYNOPSIS ] Kishibe can make you the darling of the art world, but it'll cost you. [ WORD COUNT ] 2k [ CONTENT ] Modern AU, y/n is transmasc, age gap (30+ year gap), alcohol, dubcon (power imbalance), daddy kink, vaginal sex, pet name (baby), Makima is a shady college professor, little bit of size kink because I believe in big dick Kishibe, he steals your underwear, creampie.

“Hey, Makima, someone really wants to know where you keep your wine opener,” you said, tapping your professor on the shoulder.

She didn't respond or move a muscle. This wasn’t an uncommon occurrence for her. She didn’t outright deny your existence most days, but you were sure you didn’t make much of an impression on her outside of the lecture hall. It was a shock when she invited you to her apartment for a party.

“Ma—”

“Do you know why I invited you here?” She asked suddenly.

You laughed. “Nope! Not at all.”

She placed her cold hand on the small of your back and led you away from the group of people she had been conversing with.

“You show a lot of promise.” She guided you into the kitchen. “And there are very important people here that could give you a leg up and utilize your raw talent.”

She opened a drawer and fished out a corkscrew.

“Oh, that’s great,” you mumbled, reaching for it.

She held it just out of reach. “Be a good boy and make the most of it,” she said before handing it over to you.

“Okay…”

You peeked out at the window. The night sky was clear and the moon hung high in it. It was a beautiful sight, but the slamming of a car door distracted you from it. You noticed a man stumble out of a cab and make his way over to your professor’s apartment building. You glanced back at her, only to notice she apparently evaporated into thin air.

You sighed and put the corkscrew on the counter, suddenly not caring about the random person needing it. Your mind was too wrapped up in whatever the fuck it was your professor was getting at. The newfound admiration coming from Makima was dizzying, but you decided to go with it. Granted you didn’t have much of a choice because you were in her home and you prided yourself on being a good houseguest.

You looked around the kitchen and tried to decide who to talk to, but you couldn’t figure out which people were the important ones, the powerful ones.

Luckily an enchanting voice called out your name. You turned around to see your professor standing beside a disheveled looking older man in a black suit. His white button-down was haphazardly tucked in and his tie was loose around his neck. His hair was dyed an ashy blonde color and his ears were pierced, the length of them hugged by a succession of thick, black rings. He looked a little unsteady on his feet as you made your way over to them.

“This is Kishibe. He’s an art dealer,” Makima said plainly.

You were more than familiar with who he was as a concept. He owned six galleries, all of which housed pieces from the most in-demand artists. His name was synonymous with the young and contemporary which was hilarious considering he was in his fifties. You always assumed Kishibe would have been someone on the younger side.

“It’s nice to meet you,” you said, holding out your hand.

He stared at it before taking a sip out of a silver flask he had tucked away in his suit jacket. You found yourself repulsed, but still drawn in by his presence. After all, he wasn't bad looking. There was a rugged handsomeness to him. He looked like he was probably a pretty boy before the world weathered and wore him down.

“Is he the one you’ve been talking about?”

Kishibe spoke about you as if you weren’t standing right in front of him. Your professor nodded. Your stomach dropped at the thought of her talking about you while you weren’t around. You hoped that she spoke highly of you, or at least with pleasant indifference.

“Alright. You can go,” he replied, waving her off. He directed his attention towards you. “Let’s go somewhere a little more private.”

“Sure. Uh… What exactly do you want to talk about?” You asked, trailing after him down the hallway.

He didn’t bother answering your question. He opened a door leading to your professor’s bedroom. He seemed to think this was an optimal spot to discuss whatever it was he had on his mind.

“On the bed,” he mumbled.

You walked inside the room, sterile in its decor. Your palms were sweaty at the prospect of being in Makima’s private quarters. It felt too intimate, like you were seeing her naked or something. Despite this you awkwardly obeyed Kishibe and took a seat on her bed. The mattress was firm, borderline uncomfortable.

“So Makima says you’re pretty talented for your age.”

The last part of his sentence stung.

“I guess.”

“You guess?” He said, running his hand through his sleek hair. It looked soft. You couldn’t help but think about how it would feel sliding between your fingers. “That’s a shitty way to sell yourself.”

“I didn’t realize I was selling myself to be honest.”

“Why else would we be talking?”

He had a point, but he could have been nicer about it.

“I’ve seen a few of your pieces. They’re not bad,” he said, tone a little gentler.

“Not bad? That doesn’t sound very promising.”

He stared at you intently. You felt like you were on display, like a piece of meat waiting to be bought and consumed. He narrowed his dark eyes and stepped closer to you.

“What?” You asked nervously.

“I need to make sure you’re a good fit before I start investing in you.”

“Well, uh, I know you tend to deal with more contemporary stuff and my approach isn’t very—”

He lifted your chin with his rough fingers, forcing you to look up at him.

“Hush. Here’s what’s gonna happen: I’m gonna bend you over and fuck you until you cry, and in return I’ll make you a star. How’s that sound?”

“I… What?”

He took a seat beside you. He draped an arm over your shoulder and pulled you closer to him. Your cunt throbbed as the smell of alcohol and juniper worked its way into your nose. The heat of his body against yours was almost too much to bear.

“Don’t make this awkward.”

“I’m sorry,” you mumbled. “I should probably go. I’m… I don’t even really have anything worth selling honestly.”

You tried to get up, but Kishibe refused to let you go so easily.

“Makima made it seem like you’d be a bit more pliable.”

“Pliable?!”

He pulled out his flask. “Hm, I should have kept that to myself,” he grumbled before taking a drink. “You want any?”

He held out his flask and for some stupid reason you grabbed it. You took a sip of the bitter whiskey and tried not to gag.

“Listen,” he said, bringing his face closer to yours. “Anything I show is worth selling. If I say something is valuable, it is. But that’ll only benefit you if you let me… Well, you know. I don’t have to say it.”

You took another sip from his flask and glanced over at him, noticing that he was palming his crotch. Your stomach was filled with a swarm of butterflies.

“Can you say something?”

“Um, something,” you laughed.

“Very funny. Now are you gonna let me fuck you or what?”

You hesitated even though you knew your answer. You didn’t want to seem too eager. And you were lowkey ashamed that his words were so convincing. Fame never mattered to you before meeting Kishibe. Hell, being a professional artist in any form seemed like a pipe dream, something incredibly out of reach. But now it was being dangled in front of you, its accessibility so tantalizing. How the fuck could you say no?

“Ye—yeah,” you said, eyes wide and doe-like. “We can do, um, that I guess.”

Kishibe seemed to wait for you to make a move, but you were frozen in place. He sighed.

“You’re lucky I like ‘em a little innocent,” he said, pressing his lips to your neck.

The feeling of his stubble against your skin made you tense up.

“C’mon, baby. Relax. Drink more if that’ll help.”

You held the flask to your lips and finished it off. You coughed and handed it back to him. He looked impressed and even more hungry for you.

“Atta boy,” he said. “Now let’s have some fun.”

He took off his suit jacket and began to unbuckle his belt. You stared down at your own clothes and decided to follow his lead, even though the thought of Makima catching you in any state of undress filled you with unspeakable dread. You unbuttoned your pants and slipped them off, letting them fall to the floor.

You got on your back and watched as he crawled on top of you. He pushed your underwear to the side and slid a finger in between your folds. You let out a small whine as he spread them apart and pushed the tips of his fingers inside.

“Fuck,” you moaned as he drove his fingers further in, stretching you out.

You rutted against his hand, craving friction. He chuckled and pulled his fingers out of your weeping cunt.

“If you’re gonna do that, I’d rather have my cock inside you,” he said before sucking your arousal off his fingers.

Unable to cope with your aching clit any longer, you began to unzip Kishibe’s pants and pulled his cock out of his briefs. He smirked, grabbing your wrists and holding them above your head in one swift, quick motion. He used his free hand to strip off your underwear and guide his cock into your cunt.

“Tell daddy how bad you want it,” he purred, teasing your hole with his tip. He leaned in close so he wouldn’t miss a word.

“Really, really bad,” you whined. “I need it.”

“Aw, you need it, huh?” He asked, biting your ear lobe.

He sunk his length into you, his balls slapping up against your taint. You gasped as his thick cock filled your cunt, stretching it out further than it ever had before. He groaned as it pressed against your cervix.

“Fuck,” he grunted. “You feel so good.”

He started to thrust into you hard, unable to contain himself. You clenched your jaw and held onto him, digging your fingers into his shoulders. He didn’t seem to mind and continued to slam his cock into your cunt. You tried to temper your moans, but it was impossible. The pleasure was simply too much; it couldn’t be contained.

“That’s it,” he panted. “Louder for daddy.”

He rubbed your clit, sending you over the edge. You cried out his name as he fucked you harder and harder. Your cheeks were on fire as you thought about the potential of someone hearing you. You shut your eyes and pretended you were getting fucked in your own bed.

Kishibe’s thrusts were growing more urgent by the second and you felt like you were sinking into the mattress, weighed down by your own ardor. You were limp, your body no longer your own. You were just a toy for him to manipulate at will. It didn’t take long for your orgasm to crescendo and engulf your entire being. You were consumed with pleasure as your vision blurred and your whining filled the room.

“You gonna be a good boy and let me come inside you?”

“Yes,” you groaned. “Please, please, please.”

His pace quickened and his thrusts grew sloppy. He gritted his teeth and filled your cunt with spurts of warm cum. Once he was finished he collapsed on top of you, his breathing slightly labored.

“Tomorrow,” he said sleepily. “Come by the gallery and we’ll talk business.”

He slowly lifted himself off of you and tucked his cock back into his clothes. He picked his suit jacket and put it back on. You gave him a thumbs up and sat up. Your eyes darted around for your underwear. He smirked and snatched them off the bed before you could grab them.

“Hey!”

“I’ll be keeping these. Have a good night, baby.”

stray thoughts on forcebook's acting

honestly, i'm not an OG forcebook fan. i wasn't there from their enchante days. in fact, i started liking forcebook's acting three weeks after a boss and a babe aired. so, i don't know if i'm qualified to state my opinion (because i once posted this on my now-deactivated twitter, and the discourse wasn't pretty), but here goes nothing.

forcebook's commendable acting in a boss and a babe

so, after episode 9 of a boss and a babe, i now believe forcebook are capable of carrying heavy roles. they're dynamic actors, and now it's clear how many facades both gun and cher are wearing. even though i don't watch enchante, from the clips i saw here and there, they've improved tremendously. and kudos to them for their hard work.

gun gungawin, at the beginning of the series, is very stoic, strict and unfriendly. he shuts people down with his signature cold stare. he doesn't have a close friend. he's alone, and he prefers it that way. he overthinks but doesn't show. i personally think gun doesn't like skinship because it creates this bond, and he can't bear the thought of losing that someday (like how he lost thyme). yet, when he meets cher, his walls crumble. he becomes friendlier and happier. he doesn't care about what others think (contrary to how he was before cher). p'force portrayed him really well.

then comes the sunshine, cher saran, the bright and kind of idiotic intern (sorry, cher T_T). he's the mood maker. he's everyone's helper. very selfless because he has a gigantic heart. he ducks every conflict and traumatising emotion like a pro gamer. he cares so much about gun, but doesn't know how to show it with words. he's goofy and silly. and he keeps all the pain to himself. he hides them in the deepest part of his heart because he doesn't want anyone to know. he doesn't like talking about his struggles because that's who cher saran is. but you see the pain in his eyes when the light goes dark. and p'book's ability to distinguish the happy cher and sad cher so smoothly blows me away every single time.

episode 9 is a whiplash of pain, heartbreak, sadness, confusion, betrayal, loyalty, trust, disappointment, true love and sacrifice. i just want to say kudos to forcebook for bringing guncher to life. i shed so many litres of tears last night. i still will cry if i rewatch ep 9.

my bias towards p'aof's works

i'm a huge fan of p'aof (the director/screenwriter of he's coming to me, 1000 stars, bad buddy and moonlight chicken). i adore his works because of his precision in crafting the characters, choosing the most suitable bgms, his vision, the cinematography, the richness of symbolism and metaphor in his works, and his ability to bring out the best in his actors.

i'm beyond excited knowing my beloved jimmysea is now under p'aof's wings with another potentially heartbreaking series, last twilight, soon-to-be-aired this year (or early next year). i know p'aof will trigger all these emotions and potential in jimmysea, and i'm just ecstatic to see them nailing mork and day.

so, i posted this thought on twitter, and some didn't agree. i do understand that p'aof's works can be quite conventional and old school, but hear me out; even though it is, he's so good at it.

and it's funny how when i look at forcebook, i'm like— damn, p'aof really needs to give them a script. i've been manifesting a forcebook + p'aof collab ever since.

perhaps, i am biased. because i like p'aof's style, and i'm confident he has that freaking good script for forcebook somewhere in his stash (or his galaxy brain), and i hope god listens to my prayers. but as always, it's ok to disagree. this post doesn't intend to impose my thoughts on anyone.

so, yes. i just hope one day, forcebook will get a very good script to match their abilities, because god damn it, please don't waste their talents. i'll be furious.

and i hope only friends will be the beginning of forcebook's reign because these men know how to act, and they're nailing it.

FernGully: The Last Rainforest (1992)

Environmentalism in kids' entertainment in the early 90s is kind of a funny thing. Earth Day was a big focus, as was animal conservation and "doing your part" in terms of individual activism about picking up trash or planting trees. Captain Planet ruled the roost, with a multi-national team fighting grotesque stereotypes who bragged stupidly about how pollution was just so much fun even beyond the monetary value it might bring them. (looks at our current class of failson tech bro billionaries Actually that last part might not be so inaccurate...)

Looking back and with the looming specter of climate change reshaping our world, it seems almost quaint. Yet I wouldn't say all of that was wasted effort, nor were these unworthy causes. And a movie like FernGully: The Last Rainforest, corny as it might seem in places now, is both a reflection of that strange time and an interesting effort all its own. How does it hold up? Let's take a look.

Set in the titular, fictional Australian rainforest, FernGully tells the story of Crysta (Samantha Mathis), a fairy being tutored by Magi Luna (Grace Zabriskie, a good ways away from her work in David Lynch's repertory company). Magi informs her (and us) of the history of Ferngully and the evil spirit Hexxus (Tim Curry), who nearly wrought its destruction before Magi sealed him in a magic tree. Crysta, being a 90s teenager, is impatient and flies off to hang out with friends like Pips (Christian Slater, reuniting with Mathis from Pump Up The Volume and before their third collab in 1996's Broken Arrow) or Batty Koda (Robin Williams). But she soon discovers strange creatures encroaching on the forest: humans, who've long passed into legend after leaving Ferngully. More specifically, she meets Zack (Jonathan Ward), a young man working with a logging company. (Interesting/amusing observation: while we see Zack has an Australian driver's license, he has a very thoroughly Southern California accent. Possibly an expat?) After a mishap where Crysta accidentally shrinks him, Zack begins to learn more about the world of Ferngully and becomes increasingly enchanted with the place (though having a very cute girl express quite a bit of interest in you doesn't hurt, I imagine). Good timing, too, since Zack's co-workers have inadvertently released Hexxus from his prison and he's down for some payback...

The most striking thing about the movie remains its look. Director Bill Kroyer and his team, including his wife Susan Kroyer on art director duties, give the Australian landscapes true beauty in the use of bright, vivid colors and exceptional lighting. Ferngully truly does seem like a magical place even before you add the fairies, and Kroyer smartly makes use of blended CGI with the 2D animation that holds up remarkably well in expanding the landscapes or depicting machines like the ominous Leveler. (It helps, of course, that he was already a CGI veteran at this point, having been one of the pioneering animators on films like TRON). Outside of the lovely Aboriginal-art-inspired prologue that puts one in mind of Watership Down's famous dream sequences, the character animation itself is much in the Disney or Don Bluth models of the time, and not quite as detailed, but there's a lot of good character touches. In particular, Kathy Zielinski (who'd animated characters like Ursula or the snake form of Jafar in Aladdin, and would later supervise Frollo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame) gives Hexxus a gleeful, vibrant quality that's almost seductive. You know that had to be difficult to figure out given he's alternatively made of oil, smoke, and a bitchin' Chernabog-esque skeleton form at the climax.

The film is also deftly written and acted, which helps it stand out from the crowd that included either the hilarious melodrama of Captain Planet or the cute-but-boring Once Upon A Forest. In particular, I like how naturally Ward and the script makes Zack's journey; in addition to some great incredulous deliveries (like my favorite line in the film, "Great, I've been shrunk by an AMATEUR!"), Zack opening up his perspective to truly see the world around him is handled with a light touch because he's ultimately not that bad a guy. I appreciate too that the reveal of his initial lie that he wasn't helping cut down trees is played with genuine remorse and owning up to it, as well as an immediate desire to set things right. Mathis matches him well, making a character concept that could've easily been insufferable (she might as well have "90s Tinker Bell" written on her model sheet) into genuinely winning and heartfelt. She even manages to sell a line like "Can't you feel its pain?" about a tree, which easily could've gotten a bad laugh. The ending is nicely bittersweet, with Zack and Crysta parting ways because they know how important it is that they do the work to build a better future on each side. (It's kind of the same ending as Princess Mononoke, when you think about it).

On the supporting end of things, Williams is actually a lot less of a scene-stealer than you'd think. Oh, he gets a few comedy impressions in, notably in a rap number (we'll get to that) and the climax, but otherwise he mostly dials into Batty's nervous-wreck dealing with trauma from being a lab animal characterization to great effect. (This is not to knock his work in something like Aladdin, where he gives arguably one of the best voice performances of all time as the Genie, but there is a notable difference). Curry, too, is less prominent than you'd think, only getting a few big scenes to sell his villainy. But his musical number "Toxic Love" is unsurprisingly a highlight, and he gets a lot of his patented "best evil laugh ever" in the screentime he DOES have. Everyone else is on point: Slater gets some nice sardonic jabs in, Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong have a couple funny bits as some biker gang-esque goons who ride beetles, and Zabriskie navigates the cliches of Ye Olde Doomed Mentor with aplomb.

Musically, the film has an...interesting pedigree. In addition to a lovely, understated score by Alan Silvestri of Back to the Future fame, there are eight songs throughout, three by Thomas "She Blinded Me With Science" Dolby and the remaining five all by other artists/songwriters. This is not inherently a bad thing; while most musicals benefit from a standardized production team, having a number of different voices who can work in different genres can be novel. And I wouldn't say any of these are outright bad, but it does lead to some "the hell?" moments.

Dolby's songs are the opening "Life Is A Magic Thing", which takes us below the canopy into Ferngully, and it's a pleasantly bouncy number easing us into things courtesy of Jimmy Clegg's vocals; the aforementioned "Batty Rap", which is very white-guy-rap, if buoyed by Williams' enthusiasm and the horrific implications of the backstory (which are further expounded on in the twice-as-long soundtrack version); and "Toxic Love", a properly bluesy, boozy villain song that Curry throws himself into with abandon. (That one too is expanded on the soundtrack, which removes any doubt about the sexual connotations of the character and his motivations). We also have the inexplicable "If I'm Gonna Eat Somebody (It Might As Well Be You)", where a goanna voiced by gravel-pit-toned rapper Tone Loc serenades Zack as he's about to devour him (that was co-written by...Jimmy Buffet??? Would've loved to see that conversation); "Raining Like Magic", a brief quiet interlude by children's singer Raffi; our big awards bait song "A Dream Worth Keeping", co-written by The Last Unicorn's Jimmy Webb and belted out with gusto by Sheena Easton like she's looking over her shoulder at Celine Dion; and "Some Other World", the first animated movie song by Elton John that plays over the credits and is fine if a bit generic. (There's also a diegetic cover of "Land of a Thousand Dances" that issues forth from Zack's stereo as he leads the fairies in a dance party because some cliches aren't just old, they're prehistoric)

I goof on FernGully sometimes because it really is so painfully earnest that you can't help but roll your eyes on occasion. But that's hardly the greatest sin a children's film can commit, and I appreciate that it's, essentially, a better Lorax movie than the actual Lorax movie in its messaging (sincerely, forever and always, fuck that movie). The film ends with an epigraph of "For our children, and our children's children", and I can't knock that sincerity. Maybe it's important to remember.

🖥 ... ⃕  THE CIRCUS UPLOADED A NEW VIDEO !

description : on the latest episode of mirror mirror, the studio is blessed by the goddess of hearts’ presence. oh, and she brought a enchanting friend too!

warning : mentions of low self-esteem, cyberbullying, and other things that may be triggering. viewer discretion is advised.

“hey, i’m enhypen and pandora’s calista. thank you for inviting me!” the female idol bows to the camera before taking her seat. 

her fictional counterpart walks into view and shyly waves at the camera.

“my name’s naeva, it’s nice to meet you all.” she speaks so softly, and with such a pretty smile on her face, you can hear the staff cooing.

we, the editors, decide to leave that sound in because #relate.

“we’re here to answer some questions that you, the audience, have sent in.” calista looks over at the lavender-haired girl and holds up her fist in a hwaiting motion. “shall we get started?” 

“mhm, let’s do it!”

THE GODDESS OF HEARTS : CALISTA !

👤 : what do you want to be remembered as in the future?

“i’d like to be remembered as someone who, despite having the odds stacked against her, pursued her dreams. life’s too short to play everything by the standards, do what you love without restraint.” 

calista looks proud of her own answer, until she hastily tacks on, “of course, within non-harmful boundaries!”

do what you love without restraint, but within non-harmful boundaries — roh aejeong, 2023

👤 : favorite concept you’ve done so far?

“since i haven’t properly debuted with pandora yet, i’ll pick my favorite from enha. honestly, i really enjoyed the concept we did for dimension-dilemma. compared to most of our eras, tamed-dashed had more of a carefree.. summery type of vibe, you know?” 

she pauses to look at naeva, who nods; the latter obviously invested in her words. 

“we didn’t have to worry much about acting seriously or pulling dangerous stunts because we were given the opportunity act like people our age.”

👤 : who had the most negative impact on your life?

“i wish i could answer but..” calista pretends to clear her throat before continuing, “well third place would be those who claim to be fans. it’s hard to just act like those criticisms and negativity don’t exist because they lurk everywhere, acting like they enjoy our music and watching our content when they actually find joy in tearing us, and others who come to our defense, down. 

so while i acknowledge that they’re here, waiting for me to slip up or even just breathe, i refuse to fall to their level. because at the end of the day, they’re just insecure people hiding behind screens to feel better about themselves.”

👤 : who’s your celebrity crush?

“at the moment?” 

the production crew gasp dramatically, eliciting both girls to laugh. it’s adorable, the way they try to cover their mouth but end up revealing their angelic smiles between peals of laughter.

“i just wanted to clarify- okay, i wouldn’t call it a crush, but i really admire zb1’s jiwoong. i’ve been following him from his acting debut to boys planet. he’s so cool and confident i just wanna ask him tips on how to do that too.. maybe i’ll ask gyunnie to put in a good word for me..”

to hourglass’s gyuri, please introduce calista to zb1′s jiwoong. love, the circus ♡  p.s. everyone here on this channel loves your group, never stop being queens! 

👤 : an idol you’d like to collaborate with?

“i’m stuck between seventeen and txt.. and no it’s not because i have friends in both groups.. okay maybe a little-”

calista pouts, causing the staff to fawn over her.

“seventeen are such exceptional performers that if i ever got to collab with them, i think i saved an empire in my previous life. at the same time though, txt are well-rounded idols with fantastic concepts to match so yeah-”

👤 : pandora or enha?

“or.”

calista’s smiling, yet it doesn’t quite reach the corners of her eyes. she fidgets with the ring sitting prettily on her index finger, the golden rose acting like her anchor. the memory’s still vivid—she scolded the guys after seeing the price tag they forgot to discard.

“i’ll never choose only one of them, not when they’re all amazing, talented, sweet people. and while i haven’t known my girls for as long as i’ve known my boys, the time that i’ve spent with them so far makes me certain that choosing to debut with them isn’t a regret.”

she sheds a shaky breath. one of the producers ask if she’d like to take a break. calista shakes her head. “thank you for your concern but i’m okay, don’t worry.”

nevertheless, a staff member walks onto the scene to give her some tissues and water. 

👤 : would you like to continue acting as a full-time career?

“if you asked me this three years ago, i’d have said yes. but when i get on that stage with my members, and i hear the cheers of our engenes and planetes, i feel like i’ve found my true calling. but i am still open to receiving acting gigs. who knows, maybe you’ll see me in the next season of all of us are dead..”

“wait, are you implying that you didn’t..” naeva hesitates for a second before making some motions—a sequence of gestures that hopefully won’t give away the story for those who haven’t watched the show yet.

the idol merely looks at the camera with a smirk.

👤 : what’s your favorite song to perform?

“in terms of enha, i love performing drunk-dazed. it’s got these hypnotic beats, along with a bold and energetic choreography to complement it. i can’t deny that at the end, i’m absolutely winded from all the jumping and spinning on the floor, but it really is fun to perform for engenes.”

“what about pandora?” naeva asks, then initially gets silence as an answer.

“it’s hard to pick because again, i haven’t debuted with them yet..” the idol drifts off again, head tilted while she looks up at the ceiling—seemingly expecting the answer to fall from up there. “i’d say, mainly because we’ve practiced this song several times, blue & night is my favorite.”

👤 : which country would you like to perform in?

“oh that’s easy, the u.k!” calista smiles fondly as she recalls, “while chobao and i were hanging out with chiara unnie, she told us a lot about the country, especially the cities she grew up in. thanks to that, i’d love to perform there and have a few days to explore the places.”

naeva raises her hand. “if it’s not too much to ask, who’s chobao?”

“it’s not, don’t worry—that’s lanfen! she might come off as mean and blunt but beneath that impression is a considerate and hilarious fluffy cat.”

“when you put it like that, she reminds me of jaan. maybe they could be friends..”

“maybe, but they could also butt heads due to their similarities.”

“at the same time though-”

this commercial break is brought to you by the guests who spent five minutes engaged in a debate about whether two tough softies can get along, and how long can they last. 

👤 : if you could go back to the past while knowing your future, would you change anything?

“as cliché as it sounds, i’m the type of person to believe that everything happens for a reason. decisions may not bear good things right away and that’s okay. while i have made some choices that make me go ‘i shouldn’t have done that’, i wouldn’t change any of them because i did get something precious out of those.. admittedly at times.. dumb decisions.”

the answer receives applause that resonates throughout the entire studio. calista’s bottom lip juts out as she jokes, “can i keep everyone here in my pocket? you all are so sweet to me and nana.”

“you’d need a very big pocket for that.” naeva giggles even more when the determined female looks past the cameramen and clasps her hands, “please nayoung unnie! pretty please!”

to be continued.. 

THE HEART’S REFLECTION : NAEVA !

👤 : who is your best friend?

“how do you define a ‘best friend’?” she wonders, looking over to calista for guidance. of course the older girl readily provides it, “it’s someone who, among your friends, you’re closest to.”

“then that’d be solon. he’s always there for me no matter what. when i need to talk to someone about something, he’s ready to listen. or if i’m confused about a certain subject, he’ll break it down so i can understand. he’s quite protective too—nowadays, i rarely ever go to the sea without him or jino accompanying me.”

“it sounds like he really cares about you.” calista approves before gesturing to the camera. “why don’t you leave a message for him, just in case he watches this.”

naeva shifts in her seat and beams warmly. “thank you nono, i really appreciate everything you do for me. i’ll always do the same for you so please don’t be afraid to approach me.”

👤 : what is your favorite subject at school?

“i have two, but one isn’t an official subject, is it okay to mention both of them?”

when one is so polite and soft-spoken, how can the crew say no? 

translation: of course it’s okay, anything and (almost) everything is okay when it’s for naeva the sweetheart.

“i really like creative writing. there’s something enjoyable in being able to unleash your imagination on a piece of paper, as well as stirring ideas around to see what can be made out of them. at the same time though, i enjoy after school because nightball practice occurs at that time, and it’s pretty much one of the few occasions i get to see my friends together so that time is really important to me.”

👤 : does it feel like you don't fit in sometimes?

similar to her human counterpart, the hybrid hesitantly nods and strains her rosy lips to show a smile. “yes there is. it’s not easy being a supernatural creature, let alone being the offspring of a common and rare species. maybe that’s why i don’t have much friends outside of the brothers and sooha—everyone else is scared that i may use my allure on them.”

naeva falls silent shortly after that, her head hung low as she stares at her lap. it only lasts for at least 30 seconds before she hastily fixes her posture and rubs her palms against her skirt.

“i don’t mind it that much, my little group is more than enough for me. they may have different personalities, and sometimes they hang my sanity over the edge of no return, but none of them have ever made me feel like i don’t deserve to be in decelis; like i don’t deserve to have them as my friends. they trust me, and that’s what makes me happy.”

👤 : are you and sooha friends?

“yes we are!” the excited lilt in her voice makes everyone’s hearts flutter; some even acting like they got struck by cupid’s arrow. she doesn’t notice as she’s busy rolling up her sleeve to reveal the beaded bracelet sitting snug on her wrist. “unless my memory’s foggy, we made each other matching bracelet during our first girls’ night. granted, we live in the same dorm building, but we hadn’t really been able to hang out one on one until then.”

out of the blue, a sheepish aura begins to surround the student. “don’t get us wrong, we love our other friends but..”

“..but it’s nice to have a girl friend to spend time with, discuss and do things you can’t do with guys?” calista guesses, though the twinkle in her syrup-tinted irises says she’s far too familiar with naeva’s struggle.

“exactly! she also doesn’t use me as an armrest or suddenly leap on me to get a piggyback ride so my head and back manage to get a well-deserved break.”

what an.. interesting taste in furniture and transportation..?

👤 : what is your biggest secret?

“if i tell you then it won’t be a secret anymore, right?” she jests, the apples of her cheeks lightly heating up when her joke is met with laughter and agreement. “i’ll tell you a wish of mine.

when i was younger, i met this boy, and he became my friend for a day. i don’t recall much about him—just that his eyes were so pretty, i felt like i was staring into the sun, and he had a tendency to give more than he should.”

her fingers instinctively rose to her necklace; specifically, the silver pendant that hung on the middle. with nostalgia injected in her smile, she summarizes, “if i ever meet him again, i’d like to thank him for showing me that even if the world turns its back on me, there will always be someone waiting for me with open arms.”

👤 : are you a day or night person?

“oh, i’ll have to think thoroughly about that one.”

how to think thoroughly and look cute while doing it, according to naeva:

first, play with your sleeve while you ponder about it. next, begin to mentally compare the pair of times. finally, snap your fingers as you come to a satisfying conclusion.

“i’ll say night because that’s when my mind’s will to be productive is at its peak. i mean, i do manage to complete tasks during the day, but it tends to feel like i’m fighting tiredness while doing so. meanwhile, when the moon is hanging above me, i have so much energy that i genuinely enjoy the things i do like watch the nightball practice, practice writing a novel, play around by the sea—those kinds of activities.”

at the end of her explanation, she notices the look of awe some of the crew are giving her. while she attempts to ignore the urge to curl into herself, she meekly asks, “did i say something wrong?”

“have you ever considered becoming a rapper?” someone pipes up.

..hiding her face behind her hands shall suffice for now.

👤 : have you ever wished that, even if it was temporary, you could be normal?

“yeah, definitely, but that’s in the past. i’ve stopped caring about people’s impossible ideals, and now i’m content with who i am.”

it’s not hard to tell—not when she speaks confidently and exudes it. of course, calista sounds like she supports the ‘younger’ girl.

“i like that you mentioned embracing yourself, regardless of whether you fit others’ definition of ‘normal’ or not. at the end of the day, the only opinion that matters is your own, so be kind to yourself. never be afraid to be your own monarch.”

be your own monarch — naeva & calista, 2023

👤 : do you have a crush?

naeva purses her lips and looks at everything but the cameras. the mannerism doesn’t fall short on calista’s radar, and her lips curl into a cheshire smile.

“who is it~?” she playfully prods efore leaning closer to the blushing girl. “you can whisper it to me if you’d like.”

lavender tresses momentarily create a halo around naeva before they fall against her back once more. she hastily explains, “it’s just a silly little infatuation, i’ll get over it sooner or later.”

“let’s check in later to see about that..”

all of a sudden, there’s a sly kitty and bashful puppy in the studio.

👤 : what are your abilities?

“i have quite a few, yet the most notable is imitation. what that means is i can copy others’ abilities and use them how ever i wish.” naeva recites it without much thought, it sounds like she’s explained it before.

her companion hums, thoughtfully nodding along. “you mentioned allure before, is it okay to explain what that entails?”

“oh yes, i have this special song that when heard, lowers a person’s guard enough for me to take control of their mind.” her voice falls a little towards the end as she adds, “but i swear i’ve never used it unless absolutely necessary, like in a battle.”

calista pats the lavender-haired girl’s armrest, a small gesture of assurance. despite that already being enough, she tells her, “we believe you.”

👤 : heli or jino?

the girls share a look of confusion before one falls into a stream of laughter. it doesn’t matter if she covers her mouth, everyone can tell calista’s gigging at the question. on the other hand, a mortified naeva slouches in her seat and stares up at the sky.

fly high naeva’s spirit!

once she’s calmed down, calista can’t help but note, “that’s such a random question, what on earth..” 

“it’s not when you know someone who’d definitely ask this.” naeva mumbles, the face of a certain troublemaker immediately popping in her mind. but before she can begin plotting what to do with the culprit, she recalls the question. 

she thinks about saying the name of the boy with the pretty golden eyes; the boy who’d stay up with her, talking about everything and nothing while her lithe fingers played with his ebony tresses..

“jino. in terms of people i’m close to, he’s right on solon’s heels. even though he can’t be near water, he always comes with me to the sea to make sure i’m safe. whenever i don’t feel good about myself, he’s popping out of thin air to dispel the negativity.” 

she wanted to say more, but the words don’t get past the tip of her tongue. instead, she beams with a crescent eyed smile.

“to my candlelight, let’s stay together forever, okay?”

“we have made it, thanks for sticking around ‘til the end!” calista bows in gratitude, her companion shortly following suit.

“if you enjoyed this episode, please tap the like button..” naeva send a glance to calista to check if she’s doing the outro right and gets a thumbs up in return. “then subscribe to this channel if you’d like to see more, thank you.”

“this was enhypen and pandora’s calista..” 

“accompanied by naeva..”

“..and we flipped your heart.”

Giggle Grove

Here we are! First ever post and it’s a collab/appreciaton post for an artist I absolutely admire. Seriously, please look at @xsunnysoftx their art is ADORABLE. They also made an adorable picture for the story here: https://www.tumblr.com/xsunnysoftx/718443947272355840/click-for-a-clearer-image-this-was-made-for-my?source=share 

Teacup finds himself in a place in Wonderland he hasn’t visited before! What wonders will he find? And how badly is he going to get tickled? Warning: This is a tickle fic, if the summary did not tip you off. Lots of flustery words and the lee is younger than most. Please be advised.

Teacup was feeling slightly mischievous today, or was it adventurous? Anything to explain his sudden wandering off out of the view of his caregivers.

Teacup didn’t venture far for something to catch his curious eyes, a strange flower that he hasn’t seen much of in wonderland. It was oddly colorful, and smelled absolutely wonderful! He just couldn’t help himself to wander more into the forest to see if he could find any more of these miraculous plants.

He wanders through the forest path, lured in by more beautiful and strange plants. Wandering more and more in until he found a little grove with a particularly big flower in the middle. The name was too big for him to remember quite yet, but it had a big, soft place to sit along with its red petals. 

“What a big flower! I bet it smells lovely…but I bet I could…” He wanders right over to the flower, and sits right on it. The stem was thick and perfectly capable of supporting the 5 year old’s weight. He wags his tail, very satisfied in the fact that he could sit on it. As he sat, he heard a small “twinkle” noise nearby. His ears perked, unsure where the noise was coming from…

“H-Hello? Is someone there?” He calls out, not getting much of a response. 

The sound of light giggles surprise him, as colorful dust starts to fly to and fro above him, zipping in and out of his line of sight until they form into a most wondrous thing! 

A girl, no bigger than his hand started to form from the dust and shine the most brilliant gold. An elegant dress and small little crown formed around her body, her beautiful wings forming last and fluttering as soon as they took shape. She was a fairy!

More fairies started to form around the boy, all with different hair styles, colors and different wing patterns that all but told what kind of fairy they were. The gold one fluttered close to his face, greeting him with a sweet smile and a proper curtsy.

“Welcome, new friend! To Giggle Grove, the happiest place in Wonderland! I am the leader of the fairies. As you can see by my crown~.” She says with a happy giggle. 

Teacup was absolutely mesmerized by the colors and unique forms of each of the fairies. Just when he thinks he’s seen it all, Wonderland continues to surprise and enchant him! “W-Wow! A real fairy! It’s nice to meet you! My name is Teacup!”

“Oh we know~. You’re always around the Hatter and March Hare! We’ve always wanted to meet you! We think you can make this forest look even lovelier!”

The puppy boy tilted his head, tail wagging curiously behind him as he pondered her sentence. “I can? What do you mean?” He asks, curious to how he can help. 

“It’s simple, my dear! This forest grows and stays healthy by one simple thing. Laughs!”

“Laughs?” Teacup blinked, he had to repeat it to himself to believe it. “I-It grows with laughs?” He asks, ears perking up a bit at the notion.

“Yes! Laughter! Lots of it! It’s how these wonderful little plants grow. Think of it as fertilizer! And you, my darling little puppy, could you maybe help us out~?” The gold fairy asks, innocently pleading with him.

“Sure! I love a good giggle~!” Teacup said gleefully, and before he knew it, he felt vines gently wrap around his wrists and pull them up towards his head, a vine around his waist held him to the flower, so he wouldn’t easily slip away.

“Oh that is wonderful to hear~! Let’s start…here!” She points to his belly, her assistant fairies start to pull up his shirt, exposing his taut belly and sides. Already, the little one starts to crack a smile as he can feel the phantom touches of fingers kneading his belly.

Being so small, they couldn’t possibly get enough giggles out of him to make their flowers grow…so they have a different method. They raise their hands, a soft glow emitting from them as two sets of much bigger hands in proportion to Teacup appear at each side, one fairy controlling each.

They descend on his taut belly, digging their fingers into the soft flesh and drilling away, teasing and testing him for the best reactions.

“Heeeh-HEE! Gehehehe!” He snorts, legs starting to curl and kick with his escalating giggles. He was writhing and struggling in his bonds as the fairies continued to tease and torment their adorable captive, legs kicking in the air as the fingers started to zero in on what really made him laugh.

The rhythmic “Squeeze, squeeze, squeeeeeze” of his sides kept him giggling, an occasional squeal too for the long squeezes of his belly. It was by far the best way to make him laugh. Mirthful giggles were guaranteed if they sunk their fingers in and drilled them around, constant squirms were frequent and an adorable reward for doing so. 

“Mahahahahahai Tuhuhuhhuhumeee~! It tihihickles so much!” He giggles, in his kicks, his shoes started to fling off, leaving only his cute baby blue and white striped socks. Whether it was intentional, or they were already eased off with a bit of magic….will be forever unknown~.

The trees started to grow a few leaves back, the grass transitioning into a more healthy green, the grove was receiving his giggles well! Of course, it wasn’t enough just to tickle someone so adorable, they just HAD to dote on him.

“Mhm~....you love your tummy scritches don’t you? Look at those kicking legs!” One fairy teased in his left ear. 

“Awww, does the puppy like it when I wiggle my fingers like this?” Another fairy whispered in his ear, adding to her tease with a very precise tickle to his belly side.

The teases combined with the playful tickling made Teacup turn red like nothing else, it was simultaneously embarrassing and very fun at the same time. Even if he turned his head one way or the other, he’d be greeted with a soft, gentle voice ready to tease him again. 

Ready to tell him how good of a boy he was, how cute he was, how ticklish he was! He let himself laugh, unable to stop the barrage of teasing as it broke down the wall he had to at least hold out on laughing like a silly boy. The cycle of being teased and tickled was more than the boy could take! 

As he giggled, the fairies were gleeful that his laughter made even the flower he laid on healthier than before. If they could get him to laugh harder, they would have quite the healthy garden!

“GYEHEHEHEHE~! MAHAHAHI TUHUHUHUMMY! TOOMUCHTUHUHUHUMMY TICKLES!” He cackles, his kicks getting more frantic as he reaches his limit. As quick as they began, the hands lifted away to give Teacup a well deserved break.

The fairies let him get some air back in his lungs, and let his arms come down...the vines then wrapped around his upper arms, restraining them again, but in a more comfortable position. He sees a teal fairy hover over with a small little bowl. 

“Would you like some water?” She asks sweetly. Teacup nodded softly, taking a few sips of refreshing water that were sorely needed. 

“Oh the plants you’re sprouting are absolutely beautiful~! You've got a good laugh, little one~.” The gold fairy sounded absolutely pleased, it was simply marvelous to see the garden grow so well. 

“Hehe….I-I’m happy you’re happy! B-But um…why am I still tied up?” Teacup asks, a little frazzled still from the last session. 

“We just need a little bit more~. After your break, we’ll happily let you go if you can handle one more session.” The gold fairy explained, Teacup all but blushed as he realized he was going to get tickled again. 

“O-Oh gee…um…Just be gentle?” He asks softly, feeling the hands grip his left ankle and lift it up.

“Mhmhm~....let’s begin.” The gold fairy clapped her hands, sending the other fairies to work. The vines around his waist and arms tighten slightly, not too tight but not too loose to let him get away. The first fairy grabbed the toe of his baby blue and white striped sock, keeping her grip as she floated upwards, making it stretch and slowly pull away from his little foot.

“Don't be nervous sweetie~. We're just going to make you giggle yourself silly like before!" The fairy holding his sock teased.

“O-Oh no. Oh please-!” His toes shyly curled, but it did nothing to interrupt the slow pull. The fabric rubbed against his ankles and slowly made its way to the heel. 

“P-Please not the…! N-not my-” He stammers, hiding his face behind his floppy ears as the cheeks start to redden and the giggles start to come out, the mere idea of tickles makes the poor pup giggle! Even as he scrunches his little foot, the sock still stretches out, the feeling of soft fabric gliding slowly past his ankle.

"Ah ah ah, little one~. We want you to see!" The gold fairy gently holds up one of his ears, making him watch as his sock stretches away. 

"First comes the heel...." The fabric teases past the heel of his foot. 

"Then comes the arch...." The gentle breeze kisses his arch, the sensation alone making him even MORE giddy. 

"And then out pops your toes!"

The sock finally comes off, revealing a cute little foot who's already trying to pull away from the devious looking rainbow feather that gets ever closer.... "We haven't even started tickling you yet, and already you're a fountain of giggles! Oh we're going to have so much fun!"

His little toes still remain curled as the feather closes in, the first fronds of the multicolored feather making contact with his heel and making its ascent up to his toes. Each second the feather teases his soft skin is another hissing giggle that leaves him. 

The gold fairy giggles, watching him try to resist the ticklish feather. “They’re so adorable when they try to hold it in~.” She coos, watching the adorable pup sloooowly break down as the seconds tick by. 

“E-eeep! N-Not the…not the feeEEET~!”

Meanwhile...

“Little Maaaate!”

“Sippycup! Where are you?” Two concerned voices call out, wandering the strange forests in search of their little “Alice”. 

“Oh goodness...where could our little sippycup be? I hope he dinnae wander far!” Mary is trying her best not to panic, searching high and low in the colorful forest for even the smallest speck of yellow.

Halister on the other hand was much more frantic in his search, sniffing and zipping from point to point as he tried to locate the lost child as quickly as he could. He was arguably much more stressed. “I feel the same! Such a strange forest, innit? A-All the more quickly we get the little mate and OUT of here!” The march hare replies, almost anxiously thumping the ground as he’s desperate to see the smallest sight of yellow.

Mary had noticed how “hyper” Halister was….much more than normal. Ever since they wandered into this colorful forest, he’s been acting like he’s wanted to leave as soon as humanly possible. She dismissed it as worry, but she couldn’t help but notice how…particular his routes were, like he was avoiding something.

The two colorful caretakers slowly started to sink into despair, of inescapable worry before a very similar melody broke them out of their spiral. “Ay...do ye hear that?” Mary piped up, putting a hand to her ears as to listen closer.

Halister perked up one ear to listen for the sound himself, “I do! And it sounds like…”

“It really sounds like…” 

The cadence, the tone, it was all familiar to them…laughter? A joyous high pitched laughter that they so loved to hear from the many children they’ve looked after. But this one was special, this one was particularly sweet and joyful...Better yet, it was the unmistakable sound of… “TEACUP!” They both exclaimed. 

The two rushed towards the source of the sound, careful not to tread on the strange flowers that…seem to get more vibrant the closer they got to the sound. As they get through the last few bushes, they happen upon a large and beautiful grove… with their lost little friend right in the middle!

Teacup was giggling and squealing away from a feather gently brushing on his sole, his foot wiggled to and fro to try and “escape” the feather, but all it did was make the fairy holding it become that much more playful and motivated to keep him giggling. As Teacup’s mirthful laughter continued, flowers around him started to bloom into the most brilliant colors and shapes, seemingly encouraged to do so by the child’s adorable laughter. He was in no danger, but he was a bit tied up…and the fairies seem to be teasing off his other sock to target the other bare foot underneath.

“Ohohoho nooo~! Nahahaht the other one! Eeehehehehe!” He squealed, trying to curl his toes to keep it on. 

Halister and Mary breathed a sigh of relief and shared a giggle as Mary called out to Teacup. “We told you not to go too far, Sippycup!” 

“Gehehehehe~! I-I’m sohohorehehehe- HYA-HAHAHA~!” He yelps, feeling the feather weave between his wiggling toes. He still wiggles them, knowing it makes it tickle more even as the feather saws between them. “MAHAHAHAHAA~! Thehehehehey’re gettin’ my tohohohoes~!” 

“I bet they are~.” Mary giggles, enjoying the sound of his squealing giggles. Halister meanwhile…

Halister is anxious. Extremely anxious, almost thumping every so often from how much he wants to leave. “W-Well, there’s our little mate! Why don’t you go get him and we can jog on out of here~?” 

“...Halister? Is der somethin’ you ain’t tellin’ me?”

“W-Well it’s-” The hare is quickly interrupted.

"As I hover and twinkle, is that the March Hare~?" The gold fairy hovers over, making the hare stiffen up on hearing them.

"Are dey friends of yours, Hal?" Mary questions, turning to see an expression that completely betrays the answer she was going to get.

"O-Oh I- I know quite a few people in wonderland you see! I get around sometimes!" He very nervously replies, thumping the ground beneath him as that jolly fairy gets ever closer.

“Oh, more than just friends~! You gave us such beautiful flowers for the grove! Did you step on one of your favorite flowers on the way here~?” The gold fairy smirked, leaning in a little closer to the blushing bunny. “You know the one…the one that got your big lucky paw and tickled you silly till we found you~?”

“I-I don’t recall! Not a tick!” 

“Awww, not even when we took our special feathers and tickled those big, bunny ears?” A green fairy coos.

“And you’re sure you don’t remember the flower that tickled your tummy with its many vines~? Especially the one that got your belly button?” An orange fairy teased.

“I- You- I haven’t the slightest-” He stammers, all but getting surrounded by some of the fairies. 

“And you’re absolutely sure you don’t remember when just about every fairy came to tickle those big paws of yours~? Now every fairy here is veeeery lucky!” The gold fairy added.

“M-Mary dear, please help-” Halister quietly pleads, legs twitching like he’s about to sprint the complete opposite direction.

The whole time, the hatter covered her mouth with her hand, hiding her giggling as she watched Halister get flustered by the grove fairies. So he has been here before! And apparently got quite the working over! 

“I’ll help innae moment, A’ll get our little Teacup before we head off~.”

Mary wandered away with a cheeky smile and a wave, leaving poor Halister to be accosted by the devious fairies. “M-Mary! Oh- P-Please hurry!”

Mary sees the epitome of cuteness squirming and writhing away in the center of the flower pile. The little pup’s tail was wagging so much it kept thumping against the flower, a cute little rhythmic noise that told everyone just how happy he was at the moment. He could barely look as the feather continued to tease away at his vulnerable foot, and his newly free foot was experiencing a different kind of tickle teasing.

Held at the ankle by a magic hand, two fairies play with his wiggly toes and skitter their small fingers up and down his arches, they even hold the toes still to get to that baby soft skin under and between said toes. The small yet precise tickles really make him howl laughing, a new font of mirth being worked out of him to make the plants grow to their fullest potential. His little arms wave and hands clutch at nothing as the tickles make his feet tingle like nothing before, truly these fairies were professional ticklers!

“Auu-HEHEHEHEHE~! MA! PAHAHA~! They're sohohohohoho ticklish!” He cries out, an expression of pure glee on his blushing face. He was loving every moment of it, every gentle tickle or devious tease at his delicate feet. 

Mary just smiles, seeing Teacup smile was contagious. It was even more sweet when they slowed down, transitioning from tickles to kisses around his little feet. Marking them with different colors of the rainbow. Some at his toes, some around his heels, and even more at the balls of his feet or arches!

Teacup snorts, a high pitched squeal leaving them as the kisses tickled just as much as the feathers and fingers did! “Auu-hahahahaha~! EEEE! Not tihihihckle kisses!”

“Make sure you hold his toes when you get his arches, it tickles reaaaal bad~.” “MAHAHAHAAA!” Teacup protests, embarrassed by Mary’s comment. The escalating laughter was proof enough they took her advice and were greatly exploiting it. 

“NOHOHOT THEEERE~! Eee-hee! It reheheheheheally tickles! Mahahhaha! Pahahaha! H-Hehehelp!”

  Knowing he was reaching his limit, the hatter quietly signed to the fairies that he’s had enough, and just as quickly they stopped. The hands released his ankles, and the vines around his belly and arms unraveled, allowing him to slide down and right into Mary’s arms. All that tickling had him tuckered out.

“Mmmh…Ma?” Teacup said softly, cuddling up more to Mary.

“Hi Sippycup~. Aww, look at ye~. You’re pure done in, aren’t ye?” She softly coos, cradling him in her arms as he yawns.

“M’not that tired yet…” He protests, despite barely able to keep his eyes open. He smiles and giggles ever so softly, the magic of the fairy kisses tickling his feet.

“Here are his socks, my lady.” A proper purple fairy gives Teacup’s socks to Mary.

“Thank ye, my dear.” She smiles, taking them and Teacup back to Halister. “Alright, you scaredy-bunny~, we can go now!” 

“Oh thank heavens…” Halister was hiding behind a tree, much to the giggling fairies delight. He chuckles on seeing the tuckered out Teacup.

“Do come again~. We’d love to have Teacup over sometime…and maybe you can help make the grove grow too!” The gold fairy suggests, making a shiver run down Halister’s spine. 

“A-Ah…I would, but I’m so busy with preparing tea time and events and-” “We’ll certainly come again! You have a beautiful grove.” Mary interjects, much to the poor hare’s dismay.

The colorful fairies see the group off, vanishing away in colorful dust that spreads around the grove as they tend to their tasks once more. The little pup continues to snooze in the security of their parent’s arms, their little feet twitching ever so slightly as the magic kisses continue to tingle long after they were applied. They’ll vanish in time, but for the moment, Teacup’s going to have a lot of tickle based dreams for the moment for as long as they tingle away. 

And secretly, he’s already planning his next visit to Giggle Grove~. Maybe he’ll bring Mary and Halister along with him too!

[ashenwinds]

Thinking about D.reamlight Vall.ey and just how the skellies could fit in and it is a similar thing to like KH since SoT did a collab with Disney for the Pirate's Life Tall Tale ( both Jack and Davy Jones having a pretty big role in the timeline of the game ). Little bit of a backfire of magic visiting the Caribbean, instead finding the Sea of Thieves.

Protag // you get to meet Duchess first, initially she thinks you are an intruder who plans to infiltrate the fortress and steal the special items hidden within ( Ashen Fort of Fortune bois ). End up assisting her with gathering a few items for her magic to break the seal upon the vault. She would reluctantly join the Valley, a little mini fortress to place. Duchess will be very sparce with her words until you get a higher friendship with her. Then, she will start using full sentences, and her friendship 10 quest would be assisting her in gathering items to help bring back her brother and the other Lords. Would require high friendship with Ursula as well, since Duchess' magic would not be enough to track down and enchant the urns.

From there you would unlock Chi, Ruth, Grimm, and Horatio ( focusing on Chi and Ruth for this blog of course ). Having to travel back to where you found Duchess and pass through the Devil's Shroud to revive the Ashen Lords. You would need to awaken each one with their urns, binding it to their souls and recreating their bodies. Careful though, they are all very spicy.

Chi will be especially hostile at first and remains within the Burning Blade home until you gain more friendship with them. They'll start to interact more with the villains and often get a little grumpy with you if you bother them while wandering about. Good friends with Scar, and gets along with Merlin mostly because he will humor them with a philosophical conversation. They won't completely warm up to you even after the friendship 10 event.

Ruth on the other hand will be a bit more friendly from the start, but often ask if you are coming around to be a test subject for one of her latest brews. Especially good friends with Ursula and Jaffar. Wanders around a lot since she has a deep curiosity of the Valley and what sort of things she could create with the new items. Staves off the creation of weapons. She will consider you an ally once you hit friendship 10, and give you access to helping create potions to further boost your tools.

Once you reach friendship 10 with all four Ashen Lords, you'll be able to unlock the final skellie: Flameheart. They will all take you back to their realm, this time to the Reaper's Hideout to meet the Servant of the Flame ( he refuses to join the Valley but will visit from time to time and hang around his father ). From there, you assist in the ritual and witness the resurrection of Flameheart.

Surprisingly, he's the friendliest out of the skellies. Of course, at the start he will be spicy and not the best to talk with, but in quicker time he will start being far more casual. All of his events will involve some sort of party, learning more about not himself but the Ashen Lords mid-way through. And his friendship 10 event would be learning that the Servant of the Flame is his son and it will be after then that Junior will visit the Valley.

Speak now is an album I associate with falling in (and out of) love for the first time. It came out a couple months after the relationship turned into a rollercoaster, and when things were good I had sparks fly and enchanted and ours. When things were bad I had last kiss and haunted and dear john. I remember writing superman lyrics in sidewalk chalk outside his house. I actually, literally, would sit on the floor wearing his clothes and crying to last kiss (😬). I desperately wanted someone to drop everything now and meet me in the pouring rain. When I finally got my own car 1 month after it came out, I would just drive around blasting the album and scream singing. Honestly, because of the time it came out, it could be a painful album to listen too, but it's like every word and note is ingrained in my bones, it's a part of me. It helped me embrace the hopeless romantic in me and comforted me when it turned out that was delusional. Really grateful for taylor for making this album and really happy to have icons from that time featured on it. 17 year old me would've lost her mind if you told her there would be a FOB and Paramore collab 13 years later! I also feel so lucky that I got Ours as a surprise song 🥹

Congrats to @taylorswift for owning this self written masterpiece 🫶🏻

6/23/2024 Meeting Notes

Skipped a week cause we can

Goals and Work Updates: 

A: Elphs updated with new nomenclature, updated muscles with phytocells, updated third lung, added nesting behavior, added maladies, added culture, warfare, and commerce

L: Minecraft! Off week ^__^

J: Magic Ray Theory, Enchantment, -ancy is the medium (photomancy, hydromancy, necromancy)

Collab Work: 

Where does magic fit in society?

Based on Elphs as they’re the galactic majority, who treat magic as a science field

Talking through allocation

Store excess magical elements

Spell takes what it needs whether you have excess in your spell or not

Hags?

Allocative based spellcasting society

Magic symbology

Cool ass brace symbols

Close with Goals: 

A: Store second draft humans finally, finish Elphen society, culture, technology, make a start on history and worlds before storing them like humans as “good enough”

J: Maybe hags? Maybe dragons? Maybe magic?

She was from the water. Her magic that of the water and ice. She was born in the water.

She was THE siren.

Meet Kyanoae Yuki Humora. My albino siren who posses human features due to living on the land. In this picture you see her marks lighten up for she is doing water enchantments. She’s a water bender but her marks really show up for that. Hope you like her!!

This is my part of the 3 artist and one base collab!!

Committing to Being a Swiftie Part 3: Speak Now (TV)

Song: Mine Would Save?: Since 2010 Best lyrics: "She is the best thing that's ever been mine"

Song: Sparks Fly Would Save?: Since 2010 Best Lyrics: "Get me with those green eyes baby as the lights go down" Thoughts: This song (especially "give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around") is just straight up like "oh, taylor fucks now"

Song: Back To December Would Save?: Since 2010 Best Lyrics: "I'd go back in time and change it, but I can't" // "I'd turn around and make it all right" Thoughts: This is the first song (I think) where she admits she's the problem in the breakup, and she painted my most intense celeb crush as the most perfect boyfriend to ever exist so how was I not going to love it?

Song: Speak Now Would save: Saved upon (TV) re-release -- Spring 2023 Best Lyrics: "The organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march" Thoughts: Obviously this is fake?! But should she be breaking up a wedding...

Song: Dear John Would Save: Upon TV re-release Best Lyrics: "Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played by your dark, twisted games when I loved you so? I should've known" Thoughts: I recently learned that she copied his guitar style to write this absolutely savage track about him. Slay, Tay.

Song: Mean Would Save: Earlier this year/last year - due to hearing it out so often Best Lyrics: "Someday, I'll be, living in big ol' city and all you're ever gonna be is mean" Thoughts: this song always reminds me of boystown and rising above homophobia

Song: story of us Would save: upon TV Best lyrics: “why are we pretending this is nothing?” Thoughts: would gravitate to this occasionally as a Teen because it’s high school drama to. The. Max.

Song: never grow up Best lyrics: 14 there’s just so much you can’t do and you can’t wait to move out and call your own shots // memorize what it sounds like when your dad gets home, remember the footsteps Thoughts: I only heard this when I was grown up 🥺 but it’s so sad!!

Song: enchanted Would save: since 2012 Best lyrics: “please don’t be in love with someone else” // “dancing round all alone” Thoughts: literally got goosebumps listening live. Listened to the audio split for like 20 minutes on repeat (also get goosebumps each time) on my most recent plane ride. The owl city reply is not it. But I used to be obsessed at 17

Song: better than revenge Would save: upon tv Best lyrics: she’s better known for the things she does on the mattress (#SlutShamingVersionSupremecy) Thoughts: I just connected that all the cheating songs on fearless are about this.

Song: innocent Best lyrics: “your string of lights is still bright to me” Would save: no Thoughts: this song is about Kanye but why tf is he assuming what his childhood (on the south side of Chicago) was like. Come on now….

Song: haunted Would save: upon TV best lyrics: “come on come on don’t leave me like this.” Thoughts: this was my favorite song upon listening to TV

Song: last kiss Would save: first one I’m saving on this listen Best lyrics: Because I love your handshake, meeting my father. I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets Thoughts: I too would not want a last kiss with Joe Jonas

Song: long live Would save: 2nd one I’m saving on this listen Best lyrics: “tell them how the crowds went wild. Tell them how I hope they shine.” Thoughts: this was the perfect end to eras

Song: Ours Would Save: no Best lyrics: "people throw rocks at things that shine"

Song: Superman Would save: no Best lyrics: "I wish the cards were from you, I wish the call was from you" Thoughts: Could this song be more about romanticizing the idea of someone?

Song: Electric Touch Would Save: no Best lyrics: "I'm trying hard not to look like I'm trying" Thoughts: When I heard about this collab I was so excited -- only to be let down

Song: When Emma Falls in Love Would Save: Did upon TV Best Lyrics: "Sometimes I wish I was her"

Song: I Can See You Would Save: Did upon TV Best Lyrics: "You Can See me as your secret Mission" Thoughts: This song was way too horny to come out in 2010 for Taylor Swift

Song: Castles Crumbling Would Save: no Best lyrics: Now they're screaming at the palace gates, used to chant my name

Song: Foolish One Would Save: Actually unliked it LOL Best Lyrics: "Stop checking your mailbox for confessions of love"

Song: Timeless Would save: hell no Best Lyrics: "even if we met on a crowded street in 1944..." (uh.....) Thoughts: The audacity of this song... yes I know its about her grandparents who fought in WWII but something tells me she won't be performing it in idk, all of Europe next year. How did not think this through and claim to be a mastermind??? I literally gasped when I heard it the first time because how many people in the world literally did not feel comfortable walking down the street in 1944.

Final thoughts: this is my favorite TV (so far!) and it got me to listen to the whole album since it came out in high school. 15/22
