#i really like the poster because i can look at so many beautiful pictures all together

[aquanutart]

I absolutely LOVE the Squirtle/Wartortle illustrations by kantaro in Pokemon 151!

The Squirtle jumping so joyfully from the rock into the ocean, the colors are STUNNING! I love the contrast of the Squirtle's aqua blue framed in the vivid orange sky, the soft bit of blue reflecting in its shell and its tail just catching the sun, how little and squishy its body looks as it launches itself towards the water with such tremendous excitement!

The lineless style of the background gives me the feel of a travel poster and I sense the tropical environment around it from the rocks and trees framing the corners, the waterfall splashing with as much energy as the Squirtle!

The layered blues on the surface of the water and the bubbles rising at the corner make me FEEL the liquid rising to meet the Squirtle--I can just feel how the next moment it's going to break through and be immersed in a cool island swim!

And the Wartortle running along the sunset beach, this is somehow everything I always imagined for Wartortle! I adore the way the rich purple melts into the warm red/orange sky, the matching purple clouds and shadows in the foreground, and how the dimming sunlight glows red on Wartortle's deep blues!

I love how the yellow and orange of the sky illuminate the lapping waves, I can just feel the gentle motion of the sea at dusk. The aqua color of the ocean matches Wartortle's ears and tail and sets off the red-orange sand, I just love how the colors are here!

Wartortle looks so round and squishy, I love its happiness as it goes frolicking through the shallows, chasing the bubbles caught in the setting sun! The shine and deep shadow on its shell give it an almost jewel texture like real tortoise shell; I love the silhouetted splash Wartortle leaves as it goes running across the shore. It's so full of energy and delight at the end of a gorgeous day! The colors in these are SO vivid and harmonized and the style is so cute and bursting with energy and joy. I just LOVE it (also Squirtle is my starter)

Gonna post TWO hoboxus today because I CAN! (still desperately trying to catch up with my twitter posts LOL help I'm terrible at this)

From a meme based on art by KOTTERI, the author of Veil (among amazing other things). Find them on twitter @_K0TTERl_!

More musing below, as per usual! (Be ready it's a LONG one again)

I really hesitated with how I wanted to do this. The original had this gorgeous red poster that seemed like a perfect fit for WKX:

(@_K0TTERl_)

Either I went for the imagery of ZZS wistfully gazing upon the mysterious and eccentric WKX, which would definitely have been more aesthetic and undeniably fitting, or I went the semi-humorous route of channelling the "WKX fell for that ugly hobo and his gorgeous shoulder blades" meme-ified side of their dynamic.

Well, clearly that's where I ended up going, but I feel like explaining a bit.

For me, this picture was three-folds:

First part is the meme; it's kind of funny, kind of ridiculous, and sets the tone of what TYK starts off as; rather absurd, with its reasonable dose of dark humor, and the (at first seemingly improbable) meeting and love story between a silly dying hobo and a strange, suspicious, hedonistic gentleman. It felt thematically appropriate for TYK to twist the original image and put the obviously uglier one on the poster since TYK relies heavily on genre subversion to begin with.

Secondly, there is WKX. So, controversial opinion (/jk) but I don't think WKX was necessarily convinced or even really thought that ZZS was "a beauty" underneath his alleged mask. It was probably a mix of various feelings and teasing/provoking which lead to this joke. First, everything he expresses throughout the book and in extra 4; the fascination for this man who seemed too hide great strength and was of no known identity--who was probably more than what he seemed.

(I'm gonna push it just a little bit ((but isn't that the fun of literary interpretation)), but the "beauty under the mask" is not only physical. It could be a way to say, I think that beneath your raunchy, ridiculous attitude, beneath your gross appearance, beneath the pretense that you're a nobody, that you're a peasant, you're probably someone of great importance and great accomplishments, someone much stronger than you pretend to be--someone like me, perhaps, even. The shoulder blades references are, besides of course WKX *actually* noticing them, the observation of how ZZS moves, of how agile his body is, etc...)

Anyway-- the entire point of this intro is to say that to me, this isn't actually referring to that whole side of their dynamic (or not entirely), but rather to that passage that I am STILL OBSESSED WITH where Wen Kexing recognizes ZZS just from the way he's sitting in a restaurant, and that makes him feel things not entirely positive:

Zhou Zishu stepped into an inn alone. He chose a seat by a window, ordered a few side dishes and a jug of mulled rice wine, and drank it slowly while soaking in the sunshine. As soon as Wen Kexing walked in, he saw Zhou Zishu from behind. He didn’t know why, but he thought that this view was quite special—he could always pick it out of a crowd. Zhou Zishu did not sit with his back straight. Most of the time, he lounged indolently at an angle that looked exceptionally comfortable. Wen Kexing thought that it seemed as though nothing weighed on him; seeing him was enough to ease the heart. Wen Kexing unconsciously halted his steps. He stared at Zhou Zishu’s relaxed silhouette for a while, with no trace of an expression in his face or eyes. His heart swelled with some strange feeling—strange, in that it was no feeling at all. He felt as though this man was mocking him with this wordless posture; he who rushed around for one thing or another, who was burdened with so many cares, yet obstinately put on a devil-may-care persona. Zhou Xu—as carefree as duckweed, he thought, with a body like willow catkins. In all the world, with its boundless perspectives, where could you find someone who walked their path alone and never allowed anything to trouble them? Yet he was not apathetic—he had his joy, his anger, his sorrow—and they came in a flash as quickly as they went. Within the blink of an eye, he had forgotten it already.

(Tian Ya Ke, chapter 18, TL by Lianzi) (have I quoted this already??? If not I should have I love this passage so much)

AND THEN QUOTING ANOTHER PASSAGE (LOL), TL by me this time:

From the moment he'd noticed his shoulderblades, felt this rush of excitement, to when he'd started liking who Zhou Zishu was, when he'd thought——so this is the Commander of Tian Chuang. Suddenly, he'd felt as if he'd met his other self. Both of them, lone wolves caught in a hunter's trap, struggling for freedom to no avail, until they had resolved to coldly gnawing off their own legs in the end. He'd felt compelled to follow him around, watched him, until he suddenly realised—if Zhou Zishu could live like this, then surely, so could he?

(Full passage in this other post LOL)

So yes, THIS. Those two things. That's it. Need I say more? HAH OF COURSE I DO I ALWAYS HAVE TO (help)

More seriously--the way WKX is captivated by ZZS' apparent carefreeness and freedom, all the different feelings (or absence thereof, as he puts it, which I interpret as so distant from what he's used to feel that it almost feels like nothing at all) is what I was going for here.... By not showing his face at all LMAO

The envy, the frustration--the impression of being mocked, but also the longing, how it inspired him to follow along and try to be free like he was.

-cough- yes, so that was point 2 out of 3.

Now lastly, about ZZS himself and my representation of him as hoboxu. I think (?) I've written enough about him that I think I can keep this succint. I love how priest often makes a point of expliciting, in the book, how he's so often smiling, and how he's always incredibly energetic in the morning, as if the night of pain had never happened. I like to think that hoboxu is both a carricature of a ridiculous character that ZZS has fun embodying---but also a liberated expression of his deeper self.

WKX feels like he's mocking him, but ZZS is also mocking himself relentlessly, when he feels like the outside resembles the inside finally, when he feels ridiculous in these new robes, when he allows himself the most outrageous behavior---and then there's mocking life itself, mocking jianghu, mocking everything that he nonetheless deeply cherishes. It's almost... gently mocking, affectionate mocking of everything because his own life has become a joke yet he's still going to enjoy it to the fullest--drinking to his heart's content, rolling in the mud and visiting touristy sites (or so he intended).

In the end... the world is still in his own hands. He chose everything, chose the way he lived, the way he (would have) died and still has the power to dissappear at will--but he stays. Stays and endures what he pretends annoys him, because he can't help himself, because he's ridiculous and is aware of it and may as well have some fun while being so.

I can't seem to ever have enough of this, of this vibe. I wanted to have him laugh at and with WKX, at and with the people seeing him, at and with himself, at and with the narrative.

SO YEAH HAH THATS HUM THAT'S IT. You know what they say, it's only a fun meme if there's an essay behind it (noone says that help 😭😭😭😭)

I hope you had fun reading it and have a nice weeked 🤪

Dating Sparrow!Ben Headcannons 

WARNINGS: Swearing, smut

SFW:

How it started:

Ben Hargreeves is a little shit. He believes he’s the most amazing person in the world. Someone that gets what he wants, of course, that was until he met you.

Ben saw you for the first time after a mission with the Sparrows. You were looking at how everyone was cheering for them after another successful mission.

Yeah, they had powers, and they put their lives at risk, and you were thankful the world had someone like them, but they were way too cocky.

You believed that if they wanted to help because they only care about the well-being of the people, they wouldn’t show off that much.

Anyways, Ben saw you looking at him, at least, that’s what his ego made him think.

He got closer to you. Expecting you to be amazed by him. But you were unimpressed

“Like what you see, sweetheart?” You looked at Ben. You won’t deny he was hot. All the posters and billboards weren’t doing him any justice. “I mean, I know I’m handsome, want a picture? It lasts longer”

You rolled your eyes at his comment, he may be hot, but you could tell he was egocentric

You started to turn around, ready to go on with your day, until you felt his hand grab your wrist

“At least can I get your name?” There was something in his eyes that was different, something soft and sweet

You just smiled and said, “No”

He was shocked. No? No one has ever told him that. You took advantage of his reaction to free yourself from his grasp

Ben took that personally.

As soon as he saw you disappear in the crowd, he went straight to Fei, asking her to follow you, she was about to ask him why, but after all the years being siblings, she knew better not to ask

And then, it was like Ben was everywhere you went

Outside work, at restaurants, your favorite coffee shop, at the park, everywhere

He tried so badly to make it look like a casual encounter, failing in the attempt

Always saying something cheesy like “Fate keeps making us meet” or “Is it I or the universe wants us to be together?”

You wouldn’t accept it, but it made your day whenever you saw him waiting for you.

When you least expect it, you were starting to look for him wherever you went, knowing full well he will be waiting for you. And Ben realized that.

After a few weeks, you decided to give him a change. Trying to hide your attraction to him was starting to get useless.

Ben just wanted to have an opportunity with you. So in one of your many encounters, he decided it was time to ask you out.

“Just one date, if you keep thinking that I’m an asshole after the date, I will stop” You didn’t know if he was telling the truth, but one date wouldn’t hurt

And you were right.

Ben had the full evening planned.

First of all, he didn’t want you to meet his siblings, at least not yet. You were way too important for him, and his siblings tend to criticize everyone and everything, so the more time he can keep you away from them, the better. So he bribed his siblings to leave the house so he could make this evening a special one.

He made this beautiful setting in the rooftop garden they had. A place where the two of you could talk without anyone interrupting at all.

The more you talk and the evening passed, the more you started to fall for him.

You didn’t understand how he could be so different when he was in front of other people and when he was only with you.

It was like he created a whole different persona.

“Can ask you something, Ben? And I really don’t want you to take it personally, but it’s something I realized…”

“Go ahead”

“Why do you act like a douche?”

Ben let out a dry laugh, he knew this question was going to come up at any moment, and of course, he knew the answer very well.

“Well, you see, I found out that when you are polite all the time, people tend to take advantage of you no matter what. They think you are some kind of gullible person, and they think they can do whatever they want with you, well, at least that happened to me. And, of course, with a family like mine… Believe me when I say they are the most competitive people. Always trying to show who’s the best, so naturally, I’ll be just like them, even if sometimes I know I can come up as someone despicable.”

It was the first time he was completely honest with anyone, and you could feel it.

The rest of the night was wonderful, the two of you learned about each other’s lives, maybe not everything, but at least the highlights of them.

It was starting to get late, so Ben decided it was time to take you to your home

“So..?” Ben asked when the two of you arrived at your apartment door

“So what, Hargreeves?”

“Am I still an asshole?”

You just smile and gave him a quick peck on the lips

“Not at all”

How he is in the relationship

So Ben is definitely part of the “I hate everyone but her” trope, you know, the “she’s the sunshine, and he’s the grumpy one.”

Like, he can be a douche to his siblings, but the moment he sees you, his humor completely changes.

Maybe that’s why all the Sparrows love having you around. It makes their brother more bearable to be around.

His siblings don’t know, but he would do anything to make you happy

He loves showering you with love, preferably when none of his siblings are around, but if he feels like doing it, he will, no matter whose present.

Not only that, but all his siblings are thankful you’re in his life. They know how he puts on this tough façade no matter what, even when he is hurting, but he seems more relaxed and in touch with his feelings when you are around, not having to fake anything.

Of course, that means a lot of teasing coming from the Sparrows

No matter what the two are doing, someone finds a way the find the two of you and start making any type of cheesy and mocking comments.

Ben was proud to have you as his girlfriend.

Taking every single opportunity to mention you or mention he now has a beautiful and fantastic girlfriend

He even mentioned you when he was having any type of interview (most of them after saving the city and completing a mission successfully)

By the end of the first month together, you were pretty sure everyone in the city knew your name (you were glad he only mentioned you, and he never really showed a photo of you)

It was like the two of you knew the reason for only mentioning you and never being seen together in public. You knew if anyone ever saw the two of you, you could be at high risk. Being a “hero” came with a lot of disadvantages, and one of them was putting everyone he ever cared about in danger.

Your relationship was private but not secret.

And you were okay with it. You didn’t want everyone snooping in your relationship.

Now with the powers.

Something that made Ben happy when the two of you started dating was the fact that you didn’t mind his tentacles at all.

It was like a normal thing for you.

You were so used to seeing him save the day with his powers that when you were around him, the fact that he was using his powers was normal for you.

He would use them daily, like when someone needed something from an unreachable place to move things around, or even when you were just too far from him, he would simply use his tentacles and make you move closer to him.

And you were completely fine with it.

NSFW:

How he is when having sex:

So a lot of dominance coming from Ben.

Something about being in control of someone turned him on so much.

And being controlled by him was amazing.

Of course, you being so used to seeing him use his tentacles almost for everything meant he would use them with you during sex.

He has this ability to not only control the tentacles but also focus on giving you pleasure.

The tentacles were an addition to all the experiences he gives you.

He loves edging you with them, making you beg for his presence to be near you.

He also loves using the tentacles to keep you from moving

Seeing you so helpless, begging for his cock always made him feel so important and needed

Of course, once he thought you had enough foreplay, he would fuck you senseless without the tentacles

(Not that they were really needed)

Been liked it rough.

Seeing how your eyes would roll whenever he was thrusting into you only made him go harder.

Being the way he is, he loves when you make any type of sound. It serves as a confirmation of how much pleasure he is giving you.

He also wants to show how much pleasure he’s giving you, so he fucks you hard enough that you can’t hold back any type of sound.

His competitiveness with Marcus shows even when he’s fucking you raw.

You tried hard not to be so loud, but Ben didn’t like that.

Ben stopped when he realized you weren’t as loud as you usually would be when nobody was around.

You whined as you just needed a little more to come undone

“What did I say, princess? I want to hear you.”

You just whimpered at his words, being weak whenever he called you “princess.”

He increases his pace, sending shivers down your spine and making you moan in the process and forgetting to stay in silence.

You were pretty sure Ben knew how to push your buttons, so you would do anything he asked.

Ben loved giving you praises of how well you were for him

Like, “Look at you, taking my cock like a good girl.”

Or “You are always so good to me, baby, always doing what I want.”

He said any of those things loud and clear so everyone, especially Marcus, heard how good he made you feel.

And, of course, the Sparrows wouldn’t leave both of you alone

Every single day after the two of you had sex, they would make comments

It was embarrassing for you to know they were mocking you only to bother Ben, but it was the complete opposite.

Ben enjoyed the comments and the mocking, making him proud, always sending a smirk toward Marcus as if he won some kind of contest.

You just hide your face in Ben’s neck, trying so bad the Sparrows didn’t see how embarrassed you were.

But not all the times you two had sex were like that

Sometimes the two of you wanted to feel the closeness of each other

Those nights were special

He was so tender and sweet

Always whispering sweet nothings to your ear

Always making sure you felt how much he loves you, making sure you felt ok and happy all the time

“You know how much I love you, baby? You don’t have any idea how good you always make me feel.”

Love actions:

He likes words of affirmation.

You know, having a father like Reginald, someone who barely shows any type of emotion even if we are talking about his own children…

Well, Ben liked hearing your feelings, and of course, he loves to listen to how much he means to you and how much you loved him, no matter what the two of you were doing.

You always make sure he knows how loved he really is and how a fantastic person he is

Ben wouldn’t admit it, but he loves all the praises you give him, and of course, he does the same when it comes to you.

He also loves showering you with love words, making you feel happy and loved all the time.

He just wants to give you all the love he wishes he had received all his life.

When the two of you are alone, he enjoys having you close to him

Sometimes he’s too scared of something happening to you

So those little moments he gets with you were pure golden

Ben Hargreeves was full of surprises, but fortunately, you were able to see the real Ben. And you are so glad the two of you crossed paths because he’s definitely the most perfect person in the whole world.

[where-fading-princesses-live]

Finally got around to watching Being the Recardos on Amazon Prime after procrastinating for months... ugh, why do I torture myself? I knew it was going to be God-awful.

I generally hate biopics. It’s just too hard to cram an entire person’s life in 2 hours. I much prefer to read a biography or memoir which offers deeper insight and can be thorough and detailed or watch a doc. Real stories are always more interesting than dramatizations. That being said, my main issue was with the casting. I just couldn’t see Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem disappear into the roles of Lucy and Desi. They looked NOTHING like them. I will give props to Kidman to at least nailing Lucy’s voice, but otherwise, her hair and makeup was atrocious and did not embody Lucy at all (it looks better on the obviously photoshopped poster, trust me... it looks like utter sh- in the movie). I generally like Bardem but he was miscast as Desi. So he’s got an accent so what? A guy who was shorter and didn’t speak in a deep baritone would have been a better choice. I would have preferred unknowns in these parts. When you use A-list actors who are supposed to be representing Icons, it’s hard to see them as the people they’re meant to be portraying because they’re too recognizable themselves. 

I also had issues with the actress playing Vivan Vance as well (too lazy to look up her name). She was about the right age as Viv maybe a couple years younger but much too thin and pretty. Viv was an attractive woman when she wasn’t playing Ethel (they always made her look frumpy and older than she was irl) but you have to keep in mind she wasn’t a pin-up girl, either and she wasn’t old but she wasn’t that young either. She was 42 albeit classy but still... the hair was all wrong and I just couldn't see her as Vivian. In fact, after comparing their pictures side by side I think Vivian was much more glamorous but she wasn’t supposed to look that glamorous as Ethel... they let Ethel be glammed up in the later episodes and this was an issue that cropped up in the movie but still. The actress didn’t even try to do her voice and sounded nothing like Vivian so she just didn’t do it for me. The only actor that completely fit his part was JK Simmons as William Frawley. Maybe he was thinner than Frawley but he got the voice and mannerisms down pat that if I closed my eyes I could totally see Frawley speaking. Now if only the rest of the cast was as good as he was, the movie would have been at least partly bearable.

I gather this movie was intended to be a low budget TV movie because that’s exactly what it felt like. No effort put into it all because it went direct to streaming. 

Also there were so many historical inaccuracies, too many to list off but purist Lucy fans would spot the inconsistencies from a mile away (the most glaring issue was how Lucy and Desi met on the set of Too Many Girls in 1940).

Honestly... the costume department couldn’t have done a worse job...

Was this supposed to be Lucy’s natural brunette hair? Cause no.... no it’s not. 

Sorry but Kidman just couldn’t capture her beauty at all... 

The Communist speech was also really cheesy... the audience reactions could not be more forced and you can tell when they were told to gasp and look shocked. If Desi’s speech was staged for the cameras I could forgive the forced reactions but it was not staged and the audience irl was not expecting Desi’s speech. If you look up the actual address Desi gave to the studio audience it was much less dramatic and easier to suspend one’s disbelief.

The film offered nothing new either... in fact the crappy 1991 TV movie Before the Laughter did a more entertaining job of capturing Lucy and Desi’s rocky marriage than this movie did. I didn’t care for Maurice Benard as Desi but Frances Fisher KILLED it as Lucy. It was not a great movie by any means but I’d rather watch that one any day over this hot mess.

The only thing I can say that was positive was that it was a wise choice to zero in on a single week of filming the I Love Lucy show as opposed to showing their entire lives and careers. we see parts of that but there was too much to show in 2 hours so focusing on a single moment in their lives and what led up to that was for the best so that it didn’t feel too rushed. Biopics work best when you’re focusing on just one thing. But that being said the movie still fell flat on its character development and there was no emotional connection to Lucy and Desi at all. In 2 hours I felt like I still didn’t really know who these people were. It was a very surface level movie with no real deep commentary or themes or anything. I also hated the fake interviews with the writers as the movie’s opening it was very weak and cliche. They were trying to push this movie as a docu drama but it wasn’t. It was just another bad dramatization of two Hollywood Legends with no new insight. 

But then I didn’t really expect it to be a good movie so can’t say it met my expectations or really disappointed me because I had none going in.

I’m definitely going to watch the far more superior documentary Lucy and Desi directed by Amy Poehler. Docs are always 10000x better than crappy biopics.

hi livvie <333 i saw your post about trying requests and was wondering if you have any thoughts about being neighbours with c-c-chan? 🤧 totally no pressure and dw at all if you don’t end up writing it 💗 i hope you’re doing well!!

chihuahuas

pairing: dino x reader

word count: 980

genre: fluff

warnings: none

a/n: ah sol, thanks for sending! i made this uni au because i'm looking at my accommodation pictures these days. also this wasn't meant to be so long, but i started writing and well.....you know how much i like writing chan haha. not proofread, i honestly don't know if i'll ever do it.

taglist: @itsveronicaxxx @husbandhoshi @zurikyo @leejungchans @junhui-recs.

you’re barely out the door when the object rolling towards your feet grabs your attention, followed by the call of your name in your neighbor’s exasperated voice. a closer look reveals the offending item to be a bottle of glue, and you bend down to pick it up so you can hand it to its owner.

the first time you met lee chan, he was carrying a basket of clothes down to the laundry room, wearing adorable dinosaur-printed pajamas and sleepy eyes. it was the week before the start of your master’s, and he had introduced himself as ‘the guy in 111’. “let me know if you need anything”, he had said, before getting flustered at the sight of underwear poking out of his basket. even flustered and sleepy, he was beautiful.

(he looked beautiful later that week too, when he ran into you on his way back from the gym, sweaty in a sleeveless shirt. you’re proud to say you managed to keep your cool in front of him, only letting out a scream into your pillow when your door was securely closed.)

“thanks”, he accepts the bottle, “slipped from my hands”.

you’re not surprised. it seems like he’s carrying a third-grade teacher’s craft supplies - large sheets of colored paper folded up in his arms, and a transparent folder that contains scissors and some cutouts of - wait, are those dog pictures? 

“i can see why”, you smile, “um, what’s all this for?”

you know his major is education, but you doubt his assignments include making posters. maybe he’s supposed to work with kids as part of a project? the image of lee chan bending down to help a kid glue cute dog pictures on a poster comes to your mind before you can help it, and - 

no. you can’t do this today. you don’t have the strength. 

“uh, we’re supposed to decorate the common room for world animal day”, he adjusts the supplies in his arms, “didn’t you know?”

oh yeah, you do remember reading about that on the bulletin board below. while you’ve never been the one for decoration and related activities, you’re even less inclined this week, with the number of assignment deadlines you have. thankfully, there’s only one left now.

“i think i read about it”, you answer, “and you decided to, what, make an entire poster by yourself?”

“no, i - “, he sighs, “the guys and i collected material and only some cutting and pasting was left, so we played a game to decide. and well”, he shrugs resignedly, “guess who lost”.

“oh no”, you shake your head in mock sympathy, “it was rock-paper-scissor, wasn’t it?”

“hey, it’s a perfectly fine - “

“i know, i know”, you grin, “what’s the subject of the poster?”

maybe you can take some time out to help him if he’s making a poster on cute dogs. 

“uh, chihuahuas”, he manages to push the folder up, urging you to pick it up, “and how, uh, expressive their expressions are?”

“what?”. is he serious?

“yeah”, he tries to convince you, “take a clipping out, you’ll see what i mean”.

you take the first picture out and, well, realize he’s not completely insane. it’s a chihuahua alright, making a face that can only be described by the string “aaaauuuuughhhhh”.

“oh god”, you take out one more, letting out a cackle at the indescribable yet vivid emotion on the dog’s face, “oh my god. this is brilliant”.

“i know”, he exclaims, laughing with you, “there are so many of them too. we really found more than we thought we would”.

you say nothing, just snap the folder close and put it back to its original place, trying not to focus on how ridiculously buff chan’s arms feel. 

it’s quiet for a moment then, the two of you just looking at each other, neither commenting on how close you’re standing, and how your hand is still on his arm. 

“well, i should - “

“would you mi - “

both of you pause, grinning. 

“you first”, you offer. 

“well”, he clears his throat, his ears an endearing pink, “i was wondering if you could help me? paste these, i mean? if that’s okay?”

“ah”, you smile slightly, fighting the urge to fix your hair, “i will, if you take me out to dinner later”.

fuck, where did that come from? 

do you want to go out with lee chan? yes. he’s cute, hot, sweet, thoughtful, hardworking - 

you get the point. 

but did you plan on asking him out today? asking him out ever? no. 

it must be those freaking arms.

“um”, his eyes widen while he considers his response, “like a date?”

“no? unless you want to”.

what? 

chan looks at you, clearly trying to figure out what the hell you’re talking about. 

oh, well. if you’re doing this, might as well do it properly. well, what’s the worse that could happen? it’s not like you live right next to the guy or anything, right? not like you have to avoid him in hallways if he rejects you. 

“i mean”, you start, proud of how confident you sound, “if i help you, take me out to dinner. like a date”.

chan blinks once before a grin takes over his face, his eyes shining by the strength of it. you think your heart skips a beat. oh, you’re down bad. 

“sure”, he answers excitedly, “it would be my pleasure”.

“great, then”, you close your door and make your way into his room, picking up the folder from his arm on the way, “let’s do it”.

a few seconds pass. chan hasn’t moved. one look over your shoulder shows him staring at you, an almost dreamy look in his eyes. stop, you want to say, we haven’t even been on a date, i can’t fall in love with you yet.

“c’mon”, you shoot him a teasing look, “the chihuahuas are waiting”.

[ciaossu-imagines]

I'm back with another Saiyuki ask ✌️

So you know, the Ikkou is really famous, anywhere they go, they get stopped by townspeople who want Sanzo to chant Sutras and such... So, that's kinda Sanzo's fanclub.

Do you think Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo have a fanclub too ? How good would they be at handling it ? Maybe Kogaiji, Dokugaku, Yaone and Lirin have one too, they seem really loved among yokais.

Anyway, I got "inspired" while listening to the Idol drama-cd lol

This one made me laugh quite a bit! I love this idea and had a lot of fun answering this one! Thank you so much for the request and I hope you'll enjoy the headcanons!

Okay, realistically, I don't think Hakkai, Goku and Gojyo have fan-clubs all their very own, though they are recognized and known. I think it's more that they're recognized and known though as companions to Sanzo and fans of theirs are normally already part of Sanzo's fan-club and they're liked by extension.

But just because the idea of it really amuses me, we're going to put that realistically aside and pretend that yes, all three of these dorks have their own fan-clubs and that they're all just as sizeable as Sanzo's.

Now, Gojyo definitely would get a little bit of a swollen ego when he first learns he has a fan-club. He's going to be pissed if it turns out that most of his fans are men...he's really hoping his fan-club consists of mostly beautiful women. He definitely would be the one to take advantage of a beautiful woman being a fan of his already to get laid, if the click and connection was there with that person. Otherwise, he might have a drink with a fan, if they amuse or seem cool to him. He tends to be pretty okay and friendly to his fan-club, but only if they don't come off as being annoying or wanting too much from him.

Hakkai is the most level-headed and realistic about having a fan-club. He knows that his so called fans really don't know anything about him at all, that they're infatuated with an idea of him and not who he actually is. So he never really has moments of ego or lets it get to his head at all. He'll remain polite and civil to any of his so-called fans and he won't go out of his way to be rude to them at all. He's generally pretty okay with being approached, as long as they don't take up too much of his time or cross any of his boundaries but for the most part, he prefers not to interact with his fan-club all that much.

Much like Gojyo, I do see Goku enjoying the idea of having a fan-club and he thinks it's really cool. He sees most of his 'fan-club' as friends and it might go to his head a little at first. For the most part, he's cheerful and nice to everyone who is his fan, though he really hates it when they start to get demanding or if they get too touchy-feely with him and that's when he has no problem letting them know they need to back off. While probably the friendliest of the three, Goku has no problem putting his foot down and making people back the fuck off and he does have a temper. If people annoy him too much, he's just going to walk away and if they try to stop him, he's cool with a fight too, if they look at all strong.

Okay, but honestly, when it comes to Kougaiji...you know how teenage girls hang posters and cut out pictures of their favourite celebrities and such all over their walls? If such things existed in the Saiyuki universe, I think Kou would be plastered all over so many demon girl's walls and probably a fair few demon boy's as well. He's a huge deal to demons and as he's fairly handsome, I think that really helps his popularity among the demon girls in particular. However, he's really not that great about handling the whole 'I have a rabid, insanely passionate fan-club' thing. He appreciates their support, sure, but like...they're more terrifying than some of the enemies he has faced and he can't just kill them like he does his enemies. He largely tries to avoid them as much as he can and it's part of Yaone and Dokugakuji's responsibilities to help him do such.

The Bangtan Gal Chapter 27- KCON 2014

Chapter Summary: BTS attend KCON for the first time. Jennie meets G-Dragon. Someone makes a surprise visit for Jennie

Words: 5,000+

-----

'Los Angeles, California'

Standing in front of their van, they applauded in front of the cameras, eager to what was to come for K-Con. Jennie wore jean shorts, Nikes and a Spongebob shirt. She also wore a black snapback over her head.

"Where do you guys want to go?" Suga asked. "I wore a Mickey Mouse hat because I want to go to Disneyland!"

"Go to Disney World, in Florida!" Jennie suggested. "We should all go, one day."

"We just changed, why don't we go to the beach?" Rapmon mentioned. "I didn't get first place last time nor go to the beach!" He whined.

"Breathe!" Jen shouted as she started shaking him, to calm him down.

"We need to go to the beach!" Jimin declared.

Raising his hand, J-Hope spoke, "Let's go shopping!"

"Yeah! Shopping!" Jin agreed

"What? Shopping? I'm in." Rapmon laughed

"Beach!" Jen said in a loud voice. "B.E.A.C.H!"

"I guess we are going to the beach since the majority of the members want to go to the beach."

Suga shrugged. "For the members who couldn't go last time." He placed a hand on Jimin's shoulder.

"I like the beach, too." Jungkook added

"Beaches in Los Angeles are very famous."

"We can go for Rap Monster and Jimin."

"Shopping is so tempting, too."

After bickering, they headed into the bus. Jennie laughed at J-Hope's excessive screaming along with V and Suga. The rest of the members just stare. 

"They're out of their minds." Jin declared.

"I should have voted for shopping." Rapmon chuckled to himself.

Watching the guys bicker about the beaches in Busan, they turn to her and ask her about the beaches in America. "Depends on where you go. You'd have to see it in person." She answered. When they received a poster with their faces on it, Jen snickered at her photo as they started the ladder game. "Is my head really that big?"

'What is the ladder game?'

'After a member draws a random line to connect the columns, follow the path to see which team member will be placed in it.'

"These are old pic of us." Jungkook pointed out

"My hair looks a hot mess in this picture, ugh." Jen cringed at how her curls were all over the place.

"Aw! Ennie's hair!" V cooed.

"Please stop." She groaned.

"You look like you're going to kill someone." Jimin pointed to J-Hope, looking at his photo with the mask.

"These are our debut album pictures." Jin asserted.

"These are from more than a year ago," Suga added.

"Can we not look at these pictures again, please?" Rap Monster asked.

'What is the image game?'

'Point to the member that best fits the answer to the question. Who is the most popular member to fans?'

"Who's the most childish?" Suga read the card. "Three, two, one!"

Jennie pointed to Jin while the rest pointed at each other. "Why me? Why?" Jin looked around, over the loud shouts of his name.

"We all picked Jin!" Suga cheered.

"There is a reason for it." Jin tried to explain. "I'm 23 years old and our youngest member is 16 in America. I'm trying so hard to get along with you guys."

"Is that why you buy Mario toys?" Rapmon threw him under the bus.

"Even adults like Mario!"

"Many adults collect toys as a hobby." Suga bluntly agreed. "Next, which member is the trickster?"

"We don't even have to think about this one." V laughed as everyone pointed to Suga.

"I still feel like you're gonna draw on my face again." Jennie let out a sigh. Suga chuckled to himself, considering her words. "Don't get any big ideas!"

"No promises. Who's the best duo in BTS?" Suga read the card and everyone pointed to Jimin and V. "The 1995 duo."

"Please stop picking on each other!" Rapmon exclaimed while Jimin and V bickered back and forth saying what

"Who is the most beautiful member?"

Not thinking much of it, Jen pointed to Jin while the rest of the members pointed to her.

Jin pointed to himself but widened his eyes in surprise at the result. "Wha!? Not me? I'm the princess!" He sputtered.

"Miss Bangtan is the most beautiful. End of discussion!" Jimin shouted.

"I'm offended." Jin huffed

After playing, Suga won the game with three picks and he drew the lines on the board. Team A consisted of J-Hope, Rapmon, Suga and Jungkook. Team B currently consisted of V and Jimin. And once Suga put Jennie on Team B, Jimin and V started cheering enthusiastically.

Jungkook looked at the board, to see what the fuss was about and yelled, "NO!"

"YES~" V cheered.

"This can't be right!"

"IT IS~"

"AHAHAHAH! WE HAVE JENNIE! IN YOUR FACE!" Jimin shouted and held her hand, giving it a few kisses. "Thank you, Jennie. Thank you. We will win for sure!"

"You're welcome?" She let out a soft laugh.

"We're going to win~" V cheered, high fiving Jimin and Jin.

"I will be the leader of Team B." Jimin suggested.

Jungkook swiped her hat over her head and put it on his head instead, while she tried to get it back, failing every attempt. "We have the main vocal and the rappers." Rap Monster confidently spoke.

"They have the leftovers."

"UM! Who you calling a leftover? We're winning this, so that smile won't be on your face for long." Jennie called him out.

"We'll see, missy."

Arriving at the beach, they announced the three missions.

'Mission #1: Take a picture with someone holding a camera'

'Mission #2: Take a picture with someone holding a surfboard'

'Mission #3: Teach someone the Bangtan Chant'

"I'm so happy Ennie is on our team. We can easily communicate." V sighed out of relief.

"Oh yeah? Well, we have Rapmon!" Jungkook shouted in annoyance.

"Don't rely on me!" Rap Monster let out a whine.

'First team to successfully complete all three missions will be deemed the prize winning victor!'

Walking outside, Jennie looked around to find two teen boys with a surfboard. "Over there!" She pointed while her team ran past her to approach them

"Can I take a picture with you?" Jin asked in English.

"Hey! Can we take a picture with you?" Jennie added on, meeting up with them.

"Yeah, go for it." The boy shrugged while Jimin held the camera.

"Should we flex?" The second boy asked, trying to show off his muscles.

"One! Two! Three!" Jimin took the photo.

"Thank you!" Jin politely said in English.

They hug them and cheer before running off to the next mission. Rushing past Team A, Jennie decided to swipe her snapback off Jungkook's head, earning a loud "Yah!" in response as she ran off ahead.

Turning around, she stuck her tongue out and ran along with her team, ignoring his shouts.

"Can we do the chant first?" Jimin asked

"We might as well!" Jennie answered and approached a group of girls. "Hi, do you mind chanting with us?"

"Chanting?" One of the girls questioned.

"We need to say, 'Bangtan, Bangtan! And you have to say Bang Bangtan! Think you can do that for us?"

"And take picture," Jin added. "One, two! Bangtan, Bangtan, Bang Bangtan and picture, click!"

Jimin set up the camera. Team B shouted, "Bangtan Bangtan, Bang Bangtan!" With the group and snapped a photo.

"Thank you so much! Have a great day!" Jennie thanked them and ran with her team.

"Oh no, they're almost finished!" J-Hope looked on.

"One last mission!" Jennie exclaimed.

Her heart was racing, her team had to win this. She didn't want to lose.

"Let's go find a camera!" Jin dashed forward. "Where is the camera, man!? Camera, camera."

"Let's go closer to the water. I feel like it'd be easier if we got closer to the water." Jimin suggested.

"Alright, let's move." V walked along and the team walked into the street. "Sorry!"

"Sorry!" Jimin turns to the cars, looking apologetic.

"Screw it, I am not apologizing, the light is green. Just keep running," Jennie huffed out of breath. Near the beach, they continued their search. Hectically searching for someone with a camera until they approached a couple. "Excuse me! Hi! We're currently on a mission and we have to take a picture with someone holding a camera, do you mind if we take a picture with you?"

"Oh, sure." The lady obliged and Jimin quickly took the picture.

"Thank you so much! Have a good one!"

"RUN!" Jimin shouted as they started to dash back to the bus. Jennie sprinted ahead of them. "Run Jennie! Run like the wind! Run like it's the last time you're running! RUUNNNNNNNN~!"

"It's too hot to be running." She sprinted her way to the bus, in the heat. They stopped at a red light as Team A joined them. Gasping for air, she put her hands on her knees for a moment and stood back up. Glistening with sweat, thanks to the physical activity, Jen remained determined to win the challenge with her team.

"We have Jungkook!" Rap Monster happily said. "I have faith in you."

Glancing at Jungkook, she caught him competitively staring her down. He had a cocky smirk on his face as he prepared himself. "If I win, I want your smarties." He demanded.

"Hell no! Not on my watch! If I win, you're not getting any!"

"Make the best team win."

Once the light turned green, Jin held onto Jungkook while Jennie sprinted ahead with her team to get the first seats in the van.

"We won!" Jimin happily cheered. "We arrived first!"

Feeling accomplished, Jennie sighed out of relief and shouted, "AYEEEE!"

After everyone got back in the van, Rap Monster murmured in defeat, "Alright, we lost...I called you guys the leftovers but we lost." 

Jimin spoke, "It's our destiny. How could you call us the leftovers? I was so upset that I had to win!"

"It was more like, who could run faster?" Suga added

"I know, I trusted Jungkook!" Rap Monster exclaimed

"Jin grabbed my arm!" Jungkook explained. "And I wanted Jennie's smarties!"

"Here, you goofball, I was planning on giving you some, anyway!" She laughed and handed him a few packs.

"I'm happy, now."

"What's the prize?" Suga asked as the producer checked out the photos from both teams. After showing off their photos, Jimin continuously asked for the prize.

For the prize, it was mini display surfboards.

"Awe yeeahhhh!" Jennie happily accepted the surfboard. Her surfboard was orange and black, showing off a tropical vibe.

"They're for display." Jungkook looked on

"I don't need it at all!" Rapmon brushed it aside.

"I think these could be a nice display in our recording room," Jin said

"Since you did your best, I will give these to everybody." The producer handed them more mini surfboards. Jimin held them hostage while the guys tried to snatch them from him.

'KCON 2014 Downtown, LA'

When it was time for the High Touch, BTS walked out to piercing screams and cheers. Jennie matched her members' grey clothes with her hair out in curls.

The cheers were welcoming, yet deafening.

"AHHHHHHH!"

"JUNGKOOKIE! JUNGKOOK-AH! YOU'RE SO CUTE!"

"J-HOPE!"

"RAPMON!"

"JENNIE! OH MY GOD!"

Smiling and waving at the screaming crowd, Jen stood in between Suga and Jin as the eight members greeted the crowd on stage. She blew kisses at the fans and laughed at how their screaming got even louder.

After greeting the fans during the fan engagement, each of the members took the time to introduce themselves to the crowd. Once it was her turn to speak, she looked around at the eager smiles of the fans who were thrilled to see her and the rest of the members.

"Hey~" She waved before widening her eyes at the loud screams. "Oh wow! I wasn't prepared!" She let out a laugh.

"JENNIE, I LOVE YOU!" A fan shouted

"I love you, too! What's up, guys!? I'm so happy to be back, in America! I see you and the fan signs." She pointed to a few fans who made Jennie signs. "For those who don't know me, I'm Jennie! Your Bangtan Girl. I love y'all~ thank you so much for coming to see us!" She let out another laugh over their high pitched screams.

"YES GIRL!"

"JENNIE~"

When asked by the MC if they could choose any K-pop group who would it be and why, Rap Monster answered in English, "If we had a chance, of course, it would be Big Bang."

"Any particular reason?" The MC asked

"Of course, their music is crazy and their performances are crazy." He rambled on.

"Yes, and they're badass!" Jennie enthused. 

G-Dragon is supposed to be performing at K-Con, maybe she could try to find him and introduce herself, if possible.

When asked about what was it like to debut, their experience, and what it's like up until now, Jennie genuinely answered after Rapmon. "Honestly, I still can't believe I'm here. Like I'm surrounded by all these amazing fans and a part of an amazing group. I'm grateful. I was so nervous when I first debuted. I get butterflies, just thinking about it. Coming from America to Korea was a big change and I honestly never imagined I would get this far, especially with these guys. Anything you set your mind to, just go for it. Anything can happen if you work hard. Thank you for the support!"

Once asked about their passions outside of performing and doing music, Jennie smiled at some of her member's broken English. When Jin handed her the mic, she answered, "I love playing the guitar, so I like to work on my guitar skills."

"I'm about to cry, she's so cool!" A fan said while filming on their phone.

"I also like to play golf. I have a guilty pleasure for it." Jennie shrugged with a smile.

"Ugh! She's so precious." Another fan said while filming.

For the final question, they are asked what games they like to play or things they like to do when bored, Rap Monster answered, "We play crazy music and dance around." He started dancing. "TURN UP!"

For the high touch session, standing in between V and Suga, Jennie kept a bright smile on her face as each of the fans walked across the stage, tagging each of their hands.

"Jennie~" A girl squealed in a high pitched voice as she tagged her hand. Jen let out a giggle at her fangirling. It was something she was still not used to.

"Your hands are so soft!" A guy, around her age exclaimed as soon as he tagged her hand.

"Thanks, cutie! Lotion does wonders." She quipped with a soft chuckle.

"OMG! You are my bias!" Another girl told her, shaking her hand.

"R-really? Wow. I'm pleasantly surprised. Usually, it's the guys."

"You're more popular here in America than you think. I love everything about you! Please don't stop doing what you're doing. You're my inspiration to become an American K-Pop idol."

"Thank you. No matter what, never give up. Continue to practice and work hard. It may be tiring, it may feel like your dream is far away, but it may be closer than you think. Believe in yourself. You got this. I'm looking forward to seeing you as a trainee and debuting as a soloist or in a K-Pop group in the future, missy." She gave her hands a gentle squeeze as the girl choked out a thank you because of the tears in her eyes.

Once the next female fan approached her to tag her hand, she said without nervousness in her voice, "Hi Jennie! I love your smile!"

"Hi! I love your smile, too, cutie!"

"Jennie, will you please marry me?" Another asked her as he held her hands. He too, looked around her age. "You slay my life. I have the biggest friggin' crush on you. You are seriously just too beautiful."

His eagerness and admiration in his eyes touched her. "Ight. When and where?" She teased. He freaked out in response, getting flustered before he moved on to the next member.

"I love you, Jennie!" A fan said as she passed by her.

"Love you, too!" Jen responded.

After the high touch, Jennie sat next to V and Suga at the table while groups of fans came by for their autographs.

When a teen girl approached her, she started to tear up as she held back the tears. Jennie's expression softened when she looked up at her. "Aw! Smile! Don't cry!" She held her hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"You're real right?" She asked in a shaky voice. "I'm not dreaming?"

"Nope, in the flesh is the Bangtan Girl." She smiled sweetly and signed her autograph.

"Jennie! When are you dying your hair like the other guys? Your hair is the same color for the past few comebacks." Another fan questioned curiously.

"When you least expect it." She winked. 

Big Hit told her they wanted to leave her hair alone until a future comeback. She was looking forward to the day she would get her hair dyed but also nervous because her hair had never been touched.

"How do you deal with the hate?" A male fan asked as she signed his autograph.

"Honestly, not everyone is going to like me. I understand that. Some crazy fangirls are still angry about having a girl in BTS, claiming they want to kill me and such a such, but Rap Monster helped me to ignore the hate. He told me, 'Ignore the bullshit and not waste my time on the haters'."

"Smart man." The guy nodded. "I agree, don't even worry about the haters. Keep doing what you're doing. I enjoy having a girl in BTS. It brings a nice mix. Been a while since we've seen a coed K-Pop group. Don't worry, your USA fans have your back."

"Thanks, man!" She fist bumped him.

"Jennie, are you ever going to show your abs like the rest of the guys? You never lift your shirt in the bulletproof dance. You remind me of DO from EXO because he hasn't shown his abs yet, either." Another fan commented.

"Hahah, my abs are a work in progress. You'll see them when I'm ready."

"Can't wait! I bet it'll be when we least expect it. You're going to kill us, aren't you?"

"Maybe~."

Once the next fan approached her, she happily greeted them. "I always wanted to meet you and ask you advice on something." The guy mentioned as she looked up at him.

"What do you want advice on?"

"I want to become a rapper for a K-Pop group. But people always keep telling me it's impossible. But then I saw you...and you gave me hope that I can do it. That it is possible to be an American in a K-Pop group. How can I keep the doubts away?"

"With the people saying it's impossible, don't let that discourage you. Don't allow people to tell you that you can't do this or that. If you want to become an American rapper in a K-Pop group, go to all the auditions they have, continue working on your skills and never give up. Prove them wrong. Prove that it isn't impossible. It isn't impossible. You can do it,"

"Thank you...I really can't wait to see your growth in BTS. Been a fan since Amity."

Widening her eyes, she started to grin. "R-really?"

"Yeah, been there since day one. You're cuter than I remembered. I believe leaving the group was your best decision. You're so happy, with BTS. I've noticed."

"Smart fan, that's for sure."

"Uh huh. Can't wait to see you do big things with BTS."

"Thank you. I will never forget my fans since I started performing. If it wasn't for fans like you, I wouldn't be where I am, with all the support. So, I thank you."

"Thank you for sharing your talent with us." He smiled and moved on to the next member. Next fan snuck in a camera to record her. "Jennie, I know I'm not supposed to film but can you say hi Tateana, to my friend?"

"Yeah, sure." She looked at the hidden camera and waved. "Hey, Tateana! Wish you could be here! Thank you for supporting BTS! I hope you're having a great day! Love you, girl!"

"You're the best! Thank you!"

"Jennie! I snuck in to give you smarties!" Another fan handed it to her and her eyes lit up.

"Aw, nice! You are friggin the best! I was craving Smarties, you the MVP! Jungkook ate the rest of my smarties without telling me."

As the last group approached them during the autograph session, Jennie had her head down when she heard someone say, "Hello JW."

"Hi, what's your..." She trailed off as soon as she lifted up her head. Her stomach dropped while the guys watched her with knowing smiles and the fans were questioning her expression change.

"Hah! She's shooked!"

"Deadass...Wow, her reaction was better than expected."

"Is this how you're going to greet us?"

"She's still shooked."

Jen's throat tightened up as hot tears filled up her eyes, covering her mouth as she stood up. There in front of her were her two sisters.

"Surprise, bitch!" Vienna laughed. "Wow! You should've seen the look on your face! Hahaha!"

Out of nowhere, Jennie jumped over the table to attack them with a big hug, earning cheered and awes from the crowd. 

"What are you two doing here!?" She shouted in a brittle voice.

"Nice to see you too!" Alani laughed.

"What do you mean what are we doing here? We came to see you, goofball!" Vienna exclaimed.

"Mom and Dad send their love. They weren't able to come with us, but they're hoping to see you soon."

Letting go of them, Jen couldn't stop smiling. Even if their reunion was brief, just the fact that she could see her sisters was more than enough to boost her mood.

"We know you're busy but we wanted to visit you. Gosh, look at you. So pretty. You're glowing." Alani sighed.

"Working hard on the new album?" Vienna crossed her arms.

"Definitely." Jennie nodded.

"How's your guitar? Not slacking, are you?"

"No slacking."

"Good. All right, we gotta go! But we'll see you when you go backstage! Thank Rap Monster for allowing us to come backstage with you!"

Surprised, Jen turned her head to Namjoon, who smiled and waved at her. "You did this?" She questioned while he grinned sheepishly and shrugged. "Thank you for this."

"Anytime, JW."

After the autograph session, Jennie's sisters were allowed to go backstage with her when they had their break.

"So, what's the guy's name that you've been hanging 'round with a lot?" Vienna asked.

"I hang out with all seven of them. Be specific." Jen declared

"His name is Cook. I think his name is cookie? With a C?"

"K. Kookie. That's one of his nicknames. His name is Jungkook."

"Joon kook?"

"Jung. Kook."

"Jung-kook. Ah. Okay. I'll call him Kookie for now. He's cute! I love his smile! You two dating? When are you going to start dating? Do any of the members like you?"

"Oh, my God..." Jennie groaned, facepalming.

"I'm serious, I dunno what goes down in Korea, but they're all good looking, so you never know. Do you like any of them?"

"I have a brother and sister bond, with them!"

"Uh huh. Wait until you get older and the baby fat goes away. You probably won't think one of them is just a friend to you. Okay, so here's what you gotta do. You have condoms, right? I mean, I got some if you want-"

"VIENNA!"

"What? I'm trying to set a good example! Safe sex is better! Make sure you have condoms. And it may hurt the first time so-"

"Oh, my God, PLEASE, stop! I'm not dating, anyone! We're all busy trying to promote music, what are we going to do in a relationship? It won't work."

"IF you weren't dating someone in the group, maybe? You never know who may be looking your way! Just choose your boyfriend wisely. Make sure he's cute, treats you right, makes you laugh, all that good stuff."

"Vienna, I got it. I'm not dating, anytime soon."

"Hit me up when you start getting in your feelings. Been there, done that. Wait...what's this?" She grabbed her hand and checked out her friendship ring.

"It's a friendship ring."

"Who gave this to you? It looks nice. Oh! Kookie gave this to you? FUTURE ENGAGEMENT!" 

"STOP! It's not like that!"

"I gotta tell Alani. Better yet, let me ask Kookie himself!"

"NO!" Jen shouted in horror, running after Vienna. She managed to jump on her back, halting her steps.

People laughed at their banter while Alani sighed when she watched the two bicker.

"Oh, my GOD! Stop harassing her! Leave Jennie alone!" Alani shouted in annoyance. "Am I the only mature one, around here?"

After catching up with her sisters, they left to attend the rest of the convention, saying their heartfelt goodbyes. It sucked she would have to leave them, again, but it was nice to see family, back at home.

Walking backstage after eating, Jen's stomach dropped when she saw G-Dragon nearby, sitting on a chair, on his phone. How in the world just luck manage to have him right there in front of her? Her mom always told her, to just walk up to people and introduce yourself and see how everything goes.

With butterflies in her stomach, she decided to approach him.

'He's just a guy. An epic guy, might I add. But just say hi. Say hi and run away.' She thought as she made her way to him. "Excuse me." Her voice sounded more timid than usual.

Looking up from his phone, G-Dragon immediately smiled softly, causing her face to warm up. 

"Hi! My name is Jennie. From BTS. It's so nice to finally meet you, G-Dragon." She bowed politely.

She felt like she was about to embarrass herself as she tried to keep herself together. But the way he stared at her, so intently, was intimidating. He stood up and bowed as well.

"Hi!" He intertwined his hands with hers and smiled. "Nice to meet you, Jennie. I've heard a lot about you."

'He's holding my hands-he's holding my hands! Act natural!' She freaked out in her head. 

"Re-really? I hope it's all positive. Gosh, I'm trying not to pass out. You're so amazing."

"Thank you, I think you're amazing, too. First time at K-Con? What do you think?"

"I love it! They need to continue this. I believe K-Con will get bigger, every year. I hope we can come back again next year or in the near future. I'm looking forward to your performance. I know it's gonna be lit."

"Are you adjusting to the industry, well? It's not every day we see a girl like you in a K-Pop group. Your Korean is very good."

'Look at me, having a conversation with G-Dragon and he's complimenting me on my Korean. Don't let me wake up from this dream, yet!' She thought. 

"I'm well-adjusted now, thanks for asking. The members helped me with everything. I'm enjoying this opportunity."

G-Dragon continued to stare down at her with a smile. "BTS, right?"

"Yep. We're working on our new album, it'll be coming out soon. Um, do you mind if we take a picture? The guys aren't going to believe me when I tell them, I met you."

Letting out a laugh, he nodded and gestured for her to take out her phone. Taking out her phone, and opening the camera app, he put his arm around her shoulders and flashed a grin for the camera while she smiled for the selfie.

Then she decided to take a video. "We're here at KCON LA! And explain to me why I'm with THE G-Dragon, right now? I'm screaming internally!"

"What up!?" He threw up a peace sign. "Shout out to BTS! Shout out to Miss Bangtan! Good luck with your upcoming album!"

After posting the video and selfie on the BTS Twitter, tweeting, 'LIFE IS COMPLETE! G-DRAGON! #Jen'

He was very kind and patient with her as she asked him questions about his experiences so far as a K-Pop Idol and being with Big Bang.

"Some advice I can give to you is to know what you're good at. Keep improving your skills. Challenge yourself. Your dream was to be a part of a K-Pop group? Now dream even bigger. And try not to put a lot of pressure on yourself, or wear yourself out. Take it one day at a time." He advised, while she listened intently, nodding at his words of wisdom.

"I'll work hard."

"Good. I'll be watching you. Do you have an Instagram?"

"I deleted it. I was going to make a new one, soon."

"Okay, when you make a new one, follow me. I'm interested in your growth, here. I gotta get ready, but remember what I said. I'm looking forward to running into you, again. Maybe at the MAMA Awards." He smiled brightly and walked away.

Exhaling as she watched him leave, she ended up smiling and clapped her hands in excitement. She'll never forget the day she had a conversation with G-Dragon.

Back to where the guys were, Jennie walked in and was immediately shaken by Jimin, who shouted "HOW!?" in her face.

"How what!?" She shouted back.

"HOW WHAT!? How'd you meet G-Dragon!?"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Hobi's loud screams were heard as she was bombarded with questions by the rest.

"One at a time! Jeesh!" Jen calmed everyone down. "All I did was approach him and say hi. I didn't think it would be so hard despite my nervousness. He had to leave to perform but I managed to get a picture and video. He's very kind by the way. Even cuter up close."

After the fuss, Jennie watched on at the guys goofing off, pretending to make a commercial. J-Hope blew the hairdryer at Jennie's hair and she flipped her hair, pretending to look sexy for the camera as she gazed at it.

"Ah! That's too sexy!" Jin pushed her aside. "This is a family program!"

"Hey!" She shouted.

"You look like a horse," Suga told J-Hope when his face was all up in the camera.

"You look like a turtle." He replied.

Later, Jungkook started making a beat to prepare Jimin and V to have a freestyle rap battle. 

Standing in between Suga and J-Hope, she rocked back and forth with everyone, shouting, "Aye! Aye! Aye!"

Starting first, Jimin rapped, "Oh no! You tucked your shirt in! That means I'm going to beat you hard! I'm going to punch you hard! And then you'll roll on the floor. And then you'll die!"

"WHA?!" Jennie shouted over the erupted laughs of the members. "V is precious to us all, let's not kill him!"

"Dude, he said he'll kill you. Come on." Rapmon beckoned V.

After V swallowed his food, he said, "Yo!"

"If you keep repeating, 'yo', I'll punch your face!" Jimin added.

"Oh, man!" Suga shouted.

"You gotta come back from that, V! Spit something!" Jennie encouraged

"Yo! I'm chewing on kimbap! Oh, I want to chew your face, too!" V rapped, cupping Jimin's face.

"PFF!" Jen's loud laugh was heard as she held onto Rapmon. "I can't!"

"I want to swallow it, but I can't because of your face!" He started dancing

"What is going on!?"

"What the heck is he saying?" Jimin asked with a laugh.

"Yo! I just ate my lunch but I can't digest it." V went on

"He's not even rapping. Don't beatbox for him."

"Yo, Jay-Z! Yo, Kanye West! Yo, Jimin! So much height difference."

"You have to rhyme." Jimin laughed. "You're just dissing me!"

"It's a different style of rap." V explained. "Yo, I was eating but none of you are funny. I was observing,"

"You're done." J-Hope hit him with the card while Rapmon pushed him back.

Jin was requested to go next. "You can say whatever you want." Rap Monster explained.

"Yo, Jimin! I was listening to your rap all these years! Why don't you throw it away? Your rap is so corrupted. I rap just like...Jay-Z!" Jin rapped while giggling.

As Jen dropped her jaw at his words, Suga shouted out of nowhere, coming in between the two, "Oh my God! OH SHIT! OH MY GOD! It's all over! He raps like Jay-Z! OH MY GOD!"

Squinting his eyes shut, Rap Monster shouted, "WE CAN'T AIR THIS!"

As she continued to laugh out loud, Jen managed to shout, "WAIT! WAIT! That did NOT just happen!"

Meanwhile, Suga continued his freak out, "He's like Jay-Z! Period! Oh man, he's like Jay-Z!"

"I think Jin is out of his mind." J-Hope giggled.

Turning to the camera, Jin said, "I sincerely apologize to all the fans of Jay-Z and hip hop. I just did it to entertain you guys."

-------

The next day was the time of the performance. They were waiting backstage. The loud cheers of the fans were deafening as Jennie had butterflies in her stomach. When the eight of them rose on stage, she looked around in awe, with the fans holding onto their light sticks and other items. After performing No More Dream and Boy In Luv, the eight members make their way to introduce themselves to the crowd.

"WOO HOO!" Jennie shouted on the mic, to louder cheers. "Heh, heh, can you guys get even louder!?"

As the cheers went up a volume, Jen nodded in approval, shooting up a thumbs up.

"All right! All right!" Rap Monster shouted. Standing at the end with V, Jen continued to listen to Rap Monster speak to the crowd. "It's great to be able to perform here in LA, right? So honored. For those of you who don't know us, we're BTS, we debuted last year. For those of you who don't know us, we would like to introduce ourselves. Let's start with J-Hope."

"Woo! Good to see you! I'm your hope! J-HOOPPPEEE! WOO!"

Jimin breathed on the mic and smiled. "WHAT'S UP LAAAAAAAAA! WOO! I'm Jimin, yeah~"

"Errbody I'm Rap Monster, leader of BTS, TURN UP!"

"It's an honor to be here in LA. I'm Jungkook!" He waved.

"Hi everyone! My name is Jin!"

"WHAT'S UP LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!? I'm Suga thank you for coming!"

V looked around at the crowd, earning more screams. "HOW ARE YOU!? AH! ME TOO! V!" He cutely waved.

With a hand on her hip, Jennie eagerly looked around as the crowd cheered louder. "Aye yo! Aye yo! Make some noise for your bulletproof girl scout!" She shouted, throwing the mic up in the air, to listen to the loud cheers. "My name is Jennie! I'm so happy to be here, today! Thank you, LA, for having us! I hope you're enjoying the show so far!"

After Rap Monster recapped their journey of American Hustle Life, they go to their next song, Bulletproof.

When it was Jen's turn to sing, she got in the front of them, singing her verse.

Badda bing badda boom!

Jennie's here

I have no fear...so don't try to stop me

Hah!

Tellin' me your doubts...won't change my mind

You want me to party? I don't have time.

I've been busy workin'

I've been busy dancin'

I'm never prancin'

"Just enhancing!" She sang, hearing the crowd sing with her as she smiled proudly

I will preserve and you can't stop my flow

I'm in my own lane, I'm here to attain

"I got people asking, who's the girl?" She pointed her mic to the crowd as they loudly sang, "The one with the curls! Representing the girls!"

Impressed at their passion for singing along with her, she continued to sing, "I'm the one with the swag and I don't mean to brag but I broke oppositions to get where I am today!"

'Last Day In LA'

Arriving at the airport, the eight members made their way inside the airport. With the camera following them, Jennie turned to the camera and says, "I'm bummed we have to leave. I'm happy I could see my sisters. K-Con was lit! I hope to come back soon!"

"I'm so sad!" Jimin whined.

"It was such a bittersweet experience," J-Hope commented.

"Hi, Jennie!" Fans greeted as she waved at the fans. "Bye V! Bye Jennie! Bye, Jimin!"

Getting on the airplane, Jennie sat by the window with J-Hope in the middle and Rap Monster next to him. J-Hope had his camera on and said in English, "Hello, everyone! I'm J-Hope. Right now, Bangtan is headed back to Korea. We just came to LA. I'm thinking about attempting to converse in all English, starting now."

Turning to Rap Monster, J-Hope greeted him. "Hey, Rap Monster!"

"Hi!" He greeted in English

"How are you?"

J-Hope was confused at what his response was and let out a laugh, shifting the camera to Jennie. "Yeah, Jennie, how are you?"

Looking up from her phone, she put up the peace sign to the camera. "Just chilling, how are you?"

"Good! Good! Rap Monster English very hard. Bear with me. Hey! Jimin! Now English time. Be quiet. How are you?"

"Uh, so good." Jimin answered

"You look so happy. Why happy?" He asked while Jimin tried to figure out what to say. He let out a sigh. "M-my heart is, oh my God."

"We are in America," Jimin said

"Los Angeles."

"LA! LA, man!" Jimin made the LA hand sign, making Jennie giggle at his goofiness. Somehow, he spit out some of his saliva and J-Hope called it dirty water. "Handsome guy, man!"

J-Hope turned the camera back to himself. "Oh, Jimin is very no fun."

"Indeed." Jennie played along. "Such a party pooper."

"Jimin?" Rap Monster asked

"Yeah?"

"You got no jams."

TODAY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT GOOD BOOK!!!

EEEEEEEEEEEEE

Continuation of the other post because that one got really messy lol

Oh my gosh. Okay. *claps hands together*

I just finished What About Will by Ellen Hopkins a few days ago, and WOW do I have a lot to say about it!! But first, I must share the cover because it is hekkin gorgeous:

LOOK!!!! DO YOU SEE THIS!!! DO YOU SEE HOW BEAUTIFUL THIS IS!!! OH MY GOSH!!!

I know I shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover, but wow. Absolutely amazing. If a book has this as its cover, then it has to be good, I mean come on.

And all the details!! Family photos and a window with no curtain and a baseball and a glove on Trace’s side, and posters and windows with blinds and a video game controller and a phone and pills and THAT NOTE and… oh no the SHOES I JUST REALIZED THE THING ABOUT THE SHOES OH I AM IN PAIN (you’ll understand once you read, I assure you) on Will’s side…

And their faces, too! Trace’s eyes are open and he’s looking a little bit up, while Will’s eyes are closed and he’s looking down… ough.

THIS IS PROBABLY MY FAVORITE COVER OF A BOOK THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN OH MY GOODNESS!!! IT’S BEAUTIFUL!!! AAAAAAAAH!!!

AND JUST BECAUSE I WILL SHARE ANOTHER PICTURE OF IT BUT ZOOMED IN

HELLOOOOO BOYS!!! OH YOU BOYS I LOVE YOU!!! TRACE YOU ARE SMALL AND CHILD AND PURE!!! WILL YOU ARE STUPID AND NEED TO HUG YOUR BROTHER!!! OHHHH I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! ACK!!!

Okayokay so the book is first-person POV written in a free-verse style (I’ll share some of my favorite quotes in a bit). It’s all from Trace’s perspective (he’s the younger brother).

OH SPEAKING OF.

THIS BOOK

IS ABOUT

BROTHERS!!! HECK YES!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO READ ABOUT!!! BROTHERS!!! YES!!!

And Trace and Will really are brothers, let me tell you. Their relationship is messy but it used to be so good and Will was always the older one who looked out for Trace and Trace was always the younger one who looked up to Will and and and alsgakgsksgskwgavsja

But now their relationship isn’t great because of Thingsssss 😭 And it’s so sad and so real and so OUGH

Speaking of, this book is so real. It’s not extravagant or mind-blowing, and there’s not crazy battles or big villains. It’s just… a kid. It’s a kid doing life in a messed up world with a messed up family. That’s it.

Actually, if I had to describe this book in one word, I think it’d be “simple.” Not in a bad or weak way, but in a refreshing way; it was nice to read a story that’s just about a kid doing life, y’know? It was really nice.

Mannnn I got so darn invested so darn fast my goodness- it was like. Pretty much immediately. Just a few pages in and I was already completely sucked into this story and this world and these characters and YES!!! It’s not too often that I get invested this fast, at least as far as books go, but What About Will was just different. It was really fun :D

This book was super easy to read—partially because of the story itself, and partially because of the format. The story was simple enough to understand easily, and the format made reading really… quick, I guess? Because it’s set up like a poem, the short lines/paragraphs made it incredibly easy to read through!

(It was just like this with Ellen Hopkin’s other middle-grade novel, Closer To Nowhere, which was also written in a free-verse style)

Oh yeah! Middle grade! Almost forgot to mention that!!

Despite being out of middle school, I still prefer middle-grade novels to pretty much any other book; there’s a ton of incredible ones out there, and I’ve often found that they’re more creative and sometimes, better written, than YA!!

That being said, What About Will can absolutely be read by anybody, regardless of age. Don’t let the age suggestion stop you from reading this, please!! I promise you it truly is an incredible book with an incredible story 😭

I won’t spoil, but towards the end of the book I EXPERIENCED MANY FEELINGS AND LET OUT MANY NOISES OF SUSPENSE, FEAR, HAPPINESS, AND MORE. MY SISTER WAS IN THE SAME ROOM AS I WAS WHEN I FINISHED THE BOOK AND SHE GAVE ME MANY STRANGE LOOKS. OH MY GOSH.

I want there to be a sequellll so bad 😭😭 Like… a YA novel from Will’s perspective… oh my goodness… I would go dizzy with joy if that ends up happening… please… oh my gosh…

NEEDLESS TO SAY this is one of my favorite books probably and I’m going to be thinking about it for a long time :)

Pretty much the only complaint I have is that sometimes the dialogue/inner thoughts of the main character felt unrealistic and unoriginal. This was not the case for the entirety of the book, but there were several sections that I didn’t feel were the best, as far as writing goes (unrealistic dialogue is one of my biggest pet peeves ever lol).

But other than that? Amazing. Absolutely amazing. I hekkin loved this.

Here’s a few of my favorite bits :D

[medusapelagia]

Brother of my brother 2

Tags: AU, Angst with a hopefull ending Relationship: Eddie Munson/Steve Harrington

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3

He has smoked almost all his weed. He should go to Rick soon to get more supplies. When he sees the lights of a car he jumps on his feet, thinking that the police has come to arrest him for trespassing. But it’s not. It’s a stupid BMW. And he already knows who is driving it. “Still courting me, Harrington? I’m not as easy as you think. I wanna be dined before getting fucked.” The boy gets out of the car but leaves the key inside and the lights on. “Can you drive back home or do I have to drive you?” “I’m fine!” he says, but he swings as he stands up. Steve sighs and gets closer “Get into the fucking car. I’ll drive you here in the morning to get your stupid van.” “What if the van gets removed while we are having fun, uh?”

“It will not.” “How do you know?” “It will not, I’ll talk to Hopper.” Oh, yeah, because he is rich, beautiful, kind-hearted, and with good connections. Exactly like Eddie. But he is tired, so he lets the boy drive him, but he can’t hide his surprise when Steve pulls over next to the big mansion in Loch Nora. “What the fuck?” “My parents are not here and I have plenty of spare rooms. Choose one and sleep off what the fuck you took tonight. And tomorrow we will talk because I’m fucking tired of your attitude and Dustin is making me crazy. He wants us to be friends so desperately that the least that I can do is try, you know?” “You care about him.” “I do. It’s like a little brother to me.” Eddie has the very same feeling about Dustin, but he can’t be friends with Steve. He really can’t. “Thank you for your hospitality but I must go home. My uncle will be worried sick.” “He works by night. Dustin told me.” Fucking shrimp. He looks around. The house is big and cold. No pictures on the wall, no posters, and nothing is out of place. It’s so… impersonal. If it was his home he would have done so many changes. His sweetheart would have been perfect at the side of the fireplace. And he would have hung all his posters on the wall. And in his room… But that’s not his room. That’s not his house. He is just a stupid guest. “Fuck you.” “OK. Fuck me. Now can we go to sleep? I have a stupid test tomorrow and…” “This should have been mine!” he yells, not caring about the late hour or the neighbor “It should have been mine!” he yells again and then he starts to cry. Steve looks at him confused but gets some tissues and gives them to Eddie. “I think that you smoke too much, uh? I’ll get you some water.” He says and then he disappears while Eddie is sitting on a very uncomfortable leather couch. A leather couch. Probably Italian. Fucking rich kid.

Grading Monkeys That Everyone Should Learn About

Howler Monkey

Named for their gimmick of throat pouches that let them yell so loud that they can be heard a mile away. Excellent monkey counterpart to the siamang, an ape with a similar feature that thankfully lives nowhere near them. One-note, but it’s a good note, albeit one that I wish to protect my ears from. B

Sun-Tailed Monkey

Excellent name. I learned about this species while reading a list to refresh my memory before making this post. Their titular feature is vaguely ominous, but otherwise they are just OK. C

Mandrill

Well known for a reason. Great colors. They spark the imagination with their threatening vibes. They used to be classified as baboons, and are cooler than all of the real baboons. Would be appropriately cast as the final boss of monkeys. B

Patas Monkey

They’re nicknamed “military monkeys” because their coloration resembles a British redcoat. They can also run at 35 mph, making them the fastest species of primate. Average in looks, but cool trivia elevates them. A

Squirrel Monkey

Actually comparable to squirrels in size. Not as nice-looking as other monkeys, but smallness will go a long way. There are a few different species of squirrel monkey, rated as equals because they are all fine creatures made cute by their tiny stature. B

Golden-Headed Lion Tamarin

Lion tamarins come in gold, black, and golden-headed varieties. Pictured above is the golden-headed lion tamarin, which is like a half-and-half of the black and gold varieties, and is therefore the prettiest and the best. Excellent color scheme, and the leonine look is a good one. S

Golden Handed Tamarin

One of many monkey species named for one body part being an interesting color. Evocative of the Midas Touch. Not as cute as I would like despite a similar color combination to their lovely golden headed lion brethren. Sadly outclassed by other tamarins. C

Emperor Tamarin

How is this a real animal. Made to be a cartoon character. A

Capuchin Monkey

Very trainable, the type of monkey that will most often be used in live entertainment. They get a lot of love in the form of merchandise as a result. Perfectly fine color scheme, one of many monkeys named for their fur’s resemblance to human clothing. They’re OK, but overexposure makes them seem plain. C

Spider Monkey

Up there with capuchins and mandrills in mainstream recognition. They have delightful proportions and strong prehensile tails. Ethereal and uncanny in shape, if unremarkable in color. The platonic ideal of a monkey. B

Proboscis Monkey

Not my preferred aesthetic, but their existence brings me joy. Distinctiveness prevails over blandness. B

Black and White Colobus Monkey

Like a higher-tier upgrade of a capuchin, despite a lack of proximity. Dashing. Their coloration is elegant in its simplicity. B

Golden Snub-Nosed Monkey

Their blue-white faces are cute and expressive, and provide 00′s movie poster style blue and orange contrast against their golden fur.  A

Snow Macaque

The monkeys that most often appear in anime. They like to recline in hot springs. Their thick fur gives them cozy vibes, and their red faces really pop. A

Golden Monkey

Just not as nifty as other monkeys named for having golden fur. They deserve some love all the same - searching “golden monkey” brought up more pictures of golden snub-nosed monkeys and golden lion tamarins, and that’s unfortunate for them. Perfectly fine in their own right. C

Red Shanked Douc Langur

The prettiest monkeys. I have convinced multiple people that monkeys can be aesthetically pleasing by producing images of them. Color gradients make their faces look glowy. The red shanked variant is the best because the red is a striking accent to an already excellent look, but any douc langur is a beauty. S

Owl House Season 3 Prediction and Poster Analysis

WOO! OCTOBER 15 HERE I COME (unless I have a very important school day, T-T)

Can’t believe I didn’t see this earlier.

The first thing I noticed is Hunter’s ugly ass haircut. Like, bro, why would you take away your ahoge...

But in all seriousness though, the first thing I noticed is the tree.

The poster looks cool with it but why did Dana added the Glom Tree in the poster?

From what we known so far, the Glom Tree is supposed to represent the love between Luz and Amity.

I figured there was something else, so I looked up to the closest tree I know that looks like it; Sakura Trees.

And here’s what I found about the symbolism:  In general, sakura, cherry blossoms, represent the impermanent nature of life. Not only is the beauty of the flowers short and sweet, the trees themselves are also short-lived. But there are contradictory meanings as well. Cherry blossoms symbolize both birth and death, beauty and violence.

Not really reassuring considering what we’ve seen in this show. It likes to throw us off from the obvious outcome.

Not sure what it would mean to the characters themselves, but if I have to make a prediction based on the Glom tree? I have a feeling we’d be seeing flashbacks of Luz’s dad.

Because on both times we see the Glom Tree; Luz was having parental issues.

The next is Vee. Who I’m assuming that is between Amity and Camila. I almost didn’t recognize her. I might be wrong about reading faces but I think Vee is the only one in the picture that isn’t weary of their surroundings, she’s just curious, she’s even stepping towards to whatever’s she looking at.

So I have a feeling we’re getting a Vee episode. (I can’t remember the situation of season 3 anymore. is it still 3 episodes or did Disney finally grow some brains?)

I might be wrong about this but I wish I’m kind of right. From where everyone is staring at, I think that while Gus, Willow, and Hunter are going to encounter Belos all on their own while Amity, Vee, and Camila are going to encounter the Palisman that Belos ate. I’m not sure if Luz is going to get involved with the second one since she’s in the middle.

The reason I’m saying that is because of Belos’ ugly face on the left side of the poster and the eyes, which I’m assuming are Palismen because of the first ‘oh shit’ trauma episode, on the right.

And the last thing I noticed; is the gravestone that’s shaped like a crown.

It is the only weird looking gravestone I can see in the poster, even the one beside it looks normal enough for gravestones.

I’m not gonna go deep into that cause I am not loving the implications of that and there are so many multiple scenarios going through my mind right now that you mortals cannot handle.

Overall, Season 3 is gonna be very satisfying to watch, and I can’t wait for it.

Actually, I kinda need help understanding with how Luz, Amity and Gus being lighted because it’s been bothering me since I saw it.

@monochromatic-ahhhh​ , @sonofrose​ , @fermented-writers-block​

Any thoughts?

[infisonicosm]

I wish I knew more Gresties in real life. I wish I'd met people at the three concerts I've been to. I wish I could find someone to talk to about everything I feel and know about their music.

I also really don't listen to their music every day, even though it means so much to me, and I love it so much. So much of the music stirs emotions within me, that I can't listen to it every day, because I'm not mentally prepared to deal with them. I don't want to cry every night to Age Of Man, or Broken Bells. But I want to listen to all the albums, all the way through. I want to relate to more people when they say that they found so many friends, online and irl, but I can't. My sister introduced me to GVF, and I went from there. We went to the Green Bay concert, and didn't know the words to most of the songs, but I loved it.

I went by myself to the Dakota shows, and met no one. But I had the time of my life, however lonely it was. On the way from Fargo to Sioux Falls, I cried so hard in my car, listening to the music. I had slept so little the night before, even after trying to wind down by drawing. And when I asked a girl to take a picture of me in front of the poster hanging at Sioux Falls, I feel like I got a weird look, even though I was next in a line to take pictures.

I wish I could tell more people about everything I feel when I listen to their music, but I feel like the shutdown button is pressed whenever I say something. I don't make tiktok videos, I only reblog and comment on GVF posts, and I love finding accounts that turn their view of the music into art, or finding any account that does art of the band and music.

I'm afraid to branch out to talk to people, because I feel like I've always been the background girl in life. I'm from a big family, so that's probably why.

Anyway, thanks for the time you take out of your day to run your blog. I'm glad I found you.

I'm literally tearing up reading this omg. I love seeing you in my notifications. I notice you all the time. I'm personally always open ears for anyone who wants to discuss Greta's music and be friends! I'd love to hear your thoughts on their songs and what they mean to you! Music is such a beautiful and soul bonding thing to talk about. I grew up around it so it's all I know. I could easily talk for hours about how Stardust Chords gives me goosebumps.

I'm so sorry you were made to feel that way at your concert. I get so giddy when people ask me to take their picture! Sadly there are a lot of snotty people in this fandom and it really can be discouraging to experience it first hand like that. There's so many of us though who would love to be your friend and talk with you about anything and everything. I've met some of the most beautiful souls because I decided to bite the bullet and make friends. I'm typically pretty introverted and don't put myself out there to start a conversation but it's the best decision I ever made!

There's so many people here who will accept you with open arms. You are loved, you are seen, and so so cared about! I'm happy you're here<3

Fabio Quartararo- Model

This morning my phone woke me up because it was ringing at a ridiculous hour with a call from my agent, I wanted to ignore it but deep down I knew he would absolutely never call this early unless it was important so I answered it.

"Hi y/n sorry it's so early but I received an email last night that I just looked at which I think you will be very interested in" he said

"What is it?" I asked eager to know

"Dolce and gabbana are doing a campaign with a sports person and they want you to do it" he explained

"That sounds amazing I would love to do it tell them I'm in" I exclaimed

I've been modelling for a little while now but have never done anything for such a big brand and to do it with a sports person sounds just incredible it could really be the start of my career. As my agent explained more he said that I would need to go to France for the shoot which just sounds even more like a dream plus everything would be paid for on the trip. My agent set me up with the number of the person who contacted me as well as gave them mine so that I could organise and go over any little details before I leave in just a few days.

That phone call definitely woke me up and got my mind racing thinking not only about the experience but also who I might be doing the shoot with usually I just do things with other models and the most famous person I have done a shoot with is a model who had done one sort of big campaign before dropping back into more casual work. So the thought of getting to work with someone who is a professional at the pinnacle of their sport is just amazing, I have always admired anyone who can get to the top level of a sport and hence why I watch all sorts of sports when they are on.

It's finally time for me to fly out to France today and I've been in contact with the organiser of the shoot sorting out some details but its all happening this week, first I will be doing some shoots on my own before I get to meet the guy I'm doing the shoot with for our photos together which sounds so exciting. They still haven't given any indication as to who will join me for the shoot and my agent doesn't know either so it will be a surprise for the both of us which he is nervous about but I'm excited for, I get the nervousness though because of course it could be anyone and my agent is very aware of my brand and wants to keep me safe so is just conscious about those things and has certain people he is hoping it won't be which I think is funny.

My agent met me at the airport and we went over plans for the entirety of the flight which wasn't too long just a few hours but there was just a lot to go over seeing as it was such a professional shoot he wanted to make sure I knew how things were going to go. All of this information made me nervous because its a lot to take in and on top of that meeting someone knew, it all sounds like a lot all at once.

We made our way to the hotel after our flight had landed but all I did on the way was stare out the window at the beautiful buildings and just the general scenery because I've never been to France it was so cool to see what it is really like not just in pictures from some of my friends. Looking at where I was really made it sink in what I was actually doing and I felt a little insane after just a few days ago deciding to do this without really having ever done something like this before but getting out of my comfort zone will be good for me I hope.

Our hotel was just gorgeous it was a huge white building with a lot of little windows all around it and if that wasn't fancy enough the reception was even better there was so many pillars going up to the ceiling which was so high and there was a giant chandelier hanging right in the middle. The receptionist gave us our room keys and we went our separate ways to our rooms which again was like nothing I've ever seen in any hotel before there was a four poster bed and a chaise lounge chain under the window, I felt like a proper celebrity and not just a normal person. It amazes me that a brand would do all this for a shoot when I would just stay in any hotel to work for such a big brand.

Yesterday was my first day shooting and it was so fun not nerve wracking at all every person on the shoot was so nice and helpful with teaching me how they do things although it was quite easy to pick up. We went all around Paris shooting in some amazing places as well as in a studio which mean it was a long day with a lot of traveling but we got a lot done which my agent was happy with because the photographers and everyone else loved how professional I was and how quickly we were able to get through shoots. Our schedule has changed as well because they wanted to do more shoots with the guy and plus we got through most of the single outfits they wanted to do so the rest of my time here is going to be working with this mystery man who I am still yet to meet.

This morning I got up and went to meet my agent for our morning briefing as I like to call it but really he just tells me whats going on during the day and thats about it but it feels more professional to call it a briefing. Today the schedule is very tight so we did the briefing as I was getting myself ready because we had to head to a meeting where for the first time I would meet my shoot partner, my agent has already been told who it is but refused to tell me which was so annoying but I know thats why he did it because it would bug me not knowing.

I was left on my own to head to the restaurant where the meeting was going to be at because my agent was too busy to go. So far I haven't been round Paris on my own so I was quite excited to get to explore a little bit on my own, I finally had time to take in all the streets I walked through instead of running to get to where I needed to be in outfits that would be hard to walk in let alone run. As usual the place we were having breakfast at was incredibly fancy just like everywhere else I've been these past few days but the novelty still doesn't ware off somehow.

As soon as I walked in someone walked me to a table where one guy was sat and no one else, there also wasn't room for anyone else to sit there which had me very confused but as soon as I saw the guys face I wasn't so confused. He turned around and I immediately recognised him although his name wouldn't come to the front of my mind but I knew I'd seen him somewhere before but my mind had just gone blank. He saw me walking over and got up to greet me with a hug which was so nice.

"Hi I'm Fabio its lovely to meet you" he introduced himself

"I'm y/n" I replied

Once he said his name my memory came flooding back and I remembered that I had watched him in a few MotoGP races all of which he did really well in and I could tell without knowing too much that he was one of the best. Realising that I knew who it was made me nervous because what if I make myself look like an idiot in front of him I mean the man is very attractive so it would not be good to make a fool of myself. He was such a gentleman and pulled out my chair for me as well as letting me order first.

We got chance to talk and get to know each other a bit more and he was surprisingly normal considering who he is and what we are doing here but it was refreshing to see someone so grounded after working with a million people who think so highly of themselves even though they are really not even close to the level they think they are on. We ended up having a lot more in common than I could have ever thought we could of which made it so easy to get to know each other which is going to make this whole experience that much more fun. Soon enough it didn't feel like he was a celebrity and he was just a normal person that I was getting to know.

After breakfast he offered to drive me to the shoot seeing as I was just going to walk I accepted his offer and we drove through the streets of Paris talking some more about the shoot and he asked me about modelling seeing as its something he's not as familiar with. I loved telling him a bit about my life because no one ever asks about what I do because they just think its posing in front of a camera and only people that have to deal with the media fully understand and he was one of them.

"Thats so cool I really don't know how you do it people are so judgy even in sports let alone when you put yourself out there like that" he said

"It can be a lot sometimes but I chose to do it so I put up with it I can't imagine what doing something like MotoGP is like I mean I've seen some of the things people say when you don't perform I couldn't deal with that sort of pressure ever" I said

"I guess we have both learnt to just ignore people huh" he joked

Soon enough we arrived at the shoot walking in laughing at a joke Fabio told as we got out the car. Sadly we were separated for hair and makeup as well as wardrobe which is a really long process and honestly the most boring part of the job because all I do is sit there for however long it takes. Fabio was done before I was which was no surprise but what was a surprise was the fact he came over to chill with me as the hairstylist finished off my hair, I didn't expect him to care enough about me to want to talk to me when there was no obligation to.

Eventually when we were both ready the photoshoot director told us what they wanted from us so we just kind of got on with it. Fabio was a natural in front of the camera which made my life so much easier as there was no explaining how to be more comfortable in front of a camera or a million attempts to explain from the director. It was actually really fun because he kept making me laugh which probably made my smile look more natural for the photos.

At one point they wanted us to be closer for the photos so Fabio put his arm around my waist which made my heart beat at a million miles an hour and butterflies start to flutter in my stomach but I had to try my hardest to not show it on my face which is much harder than you would think. I have done plenty of things like this before but doing it with Fabio makes me nervous probably because I may have a little crush on him but I know I need to forget about that because the likelihood of anything happening is slim to none.

We got a bit of a break after shooting for a few hours where me and Fabio went out to get some lunch from a place nearby in our outfits which did draw a lot of attention to us but we didn't care at least when Fabio was there I didn't care. We didn't have too long so we had to walk pretty quickly which was hard in my heels and I fell behind until Fabio slowed down and grabbed my hand dragging me along so that I could keep up but making sure I didn't fall over either. This made me all nervous all over again but this time I let it show a little with a small blush on my cheeks.

When we arrived back they had a motorbike on the set which looked a bit like Fabio's MotoGP bike which I imagine was the aim, it was so cool to see one up close because I have never been to a race or anything like that. He showed me some parts of the bike and roughly how some things work to make it go faster and whatever which was so cool to hear about plus it was nice to hear him explain something he is so passionate about. We had to both sit on the bike for the shoot which meant we had to be incredibly close with him leaning over me to hold the handles or having his hands on my waist per the instructions of the director.

Later in the evening when we were done for the day Fabio waited for me to drive me back to my hotel. He is really killing me inside by being so sweet while also being so attractive and it doesn't help that I know I'm never going to be able to be with him no matter how much I would love to be, there is just no way that he will have any feelings for me I mean I'm just some model he is working with who he will forget in a few weeks. We made it to the hotel and he opened my car door for me and gave me a hug and I went to walk back into the hotel before he grabbed my arm stopping me from going in.

"Sorry if this is random but will you go on a date with me tomorrow night?" He asked

I was floored and could barely process what he had just said yet I still managed to muster a reply.

"I would love that see you at 8" I said calmly but on the inside I was dying of excitement that he actually just asked me on a date I mean tomorrow couldn't come quick enough
