(yoo iseol & reader)
The first time she saw them, she thought that she had met a deity that had graced the land with their heavenly presence underneath a full moon. The way they danced as the soles of their shoes touched the base of water, producing rings of ripples on the mirror-like surface; a sword in their hand as they moved to their own rhythm, an orchestra of the night performing a grand stage for them and them only.
Yet what surprised her the most were not the serene look on their face or the way their moves seemed oh so familiar and foreign at the same time, but it was the freezing temperature that surrounded the stranger who was unphased by the unnaturality of it. Despite it being early-summer, a time where the coldness of winter has long disappeared and is replaced with steaming air, Yoo Iseol could see frozen ice on the surface of the water. She wondered if the faint scent of plum blossoms were the stranger’s doing as well.
As the stranger took another step and executed another strike with their sword, Iseol finds herself mesmerized by the way they performed. The technique was something she was unfamiliar with, even though there was resemblance to the teachings from her sect. It wasn’t the Plum Blossom Sword technique, she was sure of it, but there was something that drew her into the style of the stranger’s swordsmanship. The coldness of each strike felt harsh and unwavering, but it was beautiful and smooth at the same time, a sense of professionalism and great care towards the art could be felt with every move.
Before she even knew it, she was encaptured in the stranger’s web, unable to move as if she was frozen on the spot. When she finally broke free from her dazed trance, the stranger was long gone, leaving behind the melting flakes of snow and a subtle scent of flowers. There were so many questions in her head, all of it surrounding the mysteries of the stranger, but she pushed it aside, opting to focus on her training for the night— It was what she came here for, after all.
Perhaps when the time is right and she meets them again, she will ask them to perform that sword technique again.

“Being as the show started at 1 a.m. here, I celebrated early by having a delicious dinner on the terrace in Claridges, then ordered about 10 coffees from room service but was passed out by 11 p.m.,” she says, laughing. “So I toasted with a cup of tea in the morning—I tried to stay up, I really did!”

hey instead of bullying or scaring you into switching to firefox, let me tell you why i LOVE firefox and how my online life has improved significantly since installing it
- the setup process is easy, and even fun! if you’re using tumblr rn, you can handle it, and if you’re the kind of tumblr user who likes customizing your blog or tinkering with xkit, you can have a lot of fun personalizing really granular settings and picking themes and extensions and everything, it’s very customizable and i happily spent like 2 hours getting everything perfect.
- you can use a command line entry tool to change specific settings right from the search bar! i did this to make firefox stop auto filling my email information since i use a different password locker (which you should too! try bitwarden!), and it was easier than digging through a bunch of submenus for a setting i wasn’t sure existed. you can just turn shit off!
- there’s a preset theme called aurora that’s purple and VERY pretty
- once you get ublock origin and as many other blockers as you’d like set up, no ads, anywhere, ever! streaming sites, youtube, all the basics, totally no stress and no compatibility issues for me
- in browser screenshot and picture in picture functions!! holy shit i use these every day, the PiP is especially helpful, it replaced an extension i used to use on chrome and it’s leagues better and works on all video content pretty much
- overall better downloads management imo, it’s a lot easier to get to your downloads and find them later
- better bookmark system, with the ability to organize your bookmarks with searchable tags and assign them a shortcut you can type into the search bar to go to
- containers! you can have two accounts to the same website open in two different tabs and switch between them without having to switch accounts. also gives firefox the ability to contain facebook and their trackers, so you can click that party invite link without feeling like you just let mark zuckerberg into your house
these were just off the top of my head, i love firefox a lot and actively enjoy using it, which i never felt with chrome! please download firefox!! you will not regret it!!! where’s your fucking rage!!!!!! go!!!!!!!!!
