Gamer girl bathwater

Word Count: 2.7k

Summary: It's just water for a video. Right?

You grin at the camera. "Hey!! So, today I'm going to react to some streamers! It's been a long time request by the majority of you, and since I'm a decently sized account, I think it could be beneficial to both sides!"

The video plays, and you go through all of the footage.

You stare at the screen.

"So," You hum, watching yourself click onto Twitch. "I heard one of the really popular streamers was streaming right now, so I wanted to check it out."

Clicking into Komaeda's account, you blink at the chat. He's... really pretty.

"Hey... does he have merch?" You click around on his account, and you pause. "HE'S SELLING BATHWATER??? Wait."

The stream screams at you, and you grin evilly. "Okay. I am an adult who makes adult money, who makes reasonable adult purchases. Having said that, this is content for a video. I'm buying the bathwater."

The chat yells, and you tip a hundred dollars to Komaeda's stream. You lean on your face onto your palm on the facecam, and you press six zeros after the one.

jackielope: ?????? A MILLION???

"No." You retype the number. "I'll donate a million if he agrees to sell the gamer girl bathwater."

coffeeandsalt: They've done it. They've gone insane.

You grin at the camera, and the stream watches as you donate a million dollars to the streamer.

Komaeda blinks at the number that flashes on his screen. What.

user 600613S donated four dollars to user K0M43D4.

"Thank you... user 600613S for the donation," Komaeda blinks, registering the number in his mind. "... Is this enough for an actual basin of gamer girl water?"

Komaeda purses his lips and smiles in amusement. "I don't think so. How much are you going to pay? You think 4 dollars is enough?"

You donate another four dollars with a message. "I'll wire you 1 mil if you ship it over to me."

Komaeda blinks wordlessly. "..."

Your stream yells at you in the chat, and you grin.

"And how do I know you're not lying?"

"I'll take you in pms right now. I'll message you on discord," You type in chat, and Komaeda pauses. "1 mil."

Your chat explodes as you actually manage to dm him successfully, and you hide your discord. You watch yourself log off of the stream quickly, and you watch yourself type through the chat with him. Nagito Komaeda had sold you his bathwater for 40 bucks.

You laugh as you edit the footage, and you finally finish after four long hours of sitting with your back hunched like snow white's stepmother. Opening the camera to record the last bit, you grin.

"So," You shake a bottle in your hand. "I finally got the bathwater. You guys watched me actually do this on stream earlier, but I did end up wiring him a lot of money and getting the bathwater. In the process, I also found his onlyfans, but that doesn't matter as much. What matters is that you all get a video in two to three weeks of me doing something with this."

You finish editing, and you upload the video, crashing into bed, ignoring how much shit you've just stirred up from a single video.

Komaeda sits in his room, cheeks red, fanning his face with his hand. There is no way you. you were buying his bathwater. What would you even be doing with it? His favorite streamer? The one who inspired him to stream? The Youtuber who seemed to have more fans than possible? You asked for his bathwater? God. What were you planning to do with it? He's kind of scared. He's also kind of turned on...

You wake up two days later, staring at your ceiling, completely out of it.

"Right. I need to make a video before the water goes bad." You pull yourself from bed, grabbing your camera. "We're going to make a cocktail."

You set up the camera, and you grin as it starts recording.

"Hi! So," You hold the package up, all of the addresses crossed off. "I got the water as stated in my last video. I did buy it. Yes. He didn't let me pay him a million dollars, but I did end up paying him much more than he requested. We're going to purify this water because I don't want a tapeworm, and then we're going to have a little fun with it."

You bring out a Brita, pour the water into the pitcher, and leave it out to filter. You flip through your phone, and you laugh at your comments. The malicious ones are amusing, but the idea of your entire fanbase losing their minds at you offering a million dollars for a random streamer's bathwater was funnier. The comments are losing their minds over you.

kisskiss69: You know, I thought they were already pretty cracked, but offering a million dollars to an egirl-based streamer is taking me out.

sonyar: ONLYFANS??? Don't be shy 👀 drop the link ♥

You laugh, closing your phone.

The Brita finishes filtering, and you turn the camera back on.

"Alright," You shake the pitcher. "We're making a beverage. I have a shot glass; I have half a pitcher of water; I am going to drink all of this like regular water. If you're new here and wondering if there's something wrong with me, please know there are a lot of issues. Please be more specific when asking. Alright, cheers."

You hold the shot glass up, and you grin. Placing it on the counter, you bite on it, throwing your head back to take it. Gotta give the fans what they want.

Pulling the glass from your lips, you swallow.

"There was no taste... However, I do NOT want any of you guys doing the stupid things I do. Do not drink bathwater. It's HIGHLY unsanitary, even if you filter it through like I did," You remind. "I'm going to drink the rest of this and then go on stream. Stream will not know I was drinking bathwater the entire time. They will notice it's a different mug from what I usually drink out of, though."

The stream runs smoothly, and you press the water to your lips.

blatantsing: What happened to the bathwater?

You purse your lips. "The video comes out in like three days! Ah, right. Since I remember, I'm going to Anicon this year. I'm cosplaying, so... if you want a pic, come hunt me down in the crowd like you always do."

fluffypillow69: Ooh! Who are you cosplaying as?

You grin. "You're going to have to guess. It's a new cosplay, so it's none of the one's I've previously done."

You finish the last of the water, and you grin at the chat. "I'm going to finish stream here. I have to edit, and you'll see the video soon."

When you post the video, the internet breaks. You gain 20k subscribers overnight, and suddenly Twitter is trying to cancel you. You aren't even bothered, laughing your ass off. You were free today. You wanted to watch the male stream. He's so pretty.

"So," Komaeda fiddles with his fingers on stream. "I'm going to be reacting to that one video where the Youtuber drank my bathwater. Please... do not come for me. I haven't watched it yet, and I wanted you all to watch me die on the inside. I'm a huge fan of theirs... so this was very conflicting."

The comments flood, asking why.

"I..." He hides his face in his hands. "Don't know whether to be disturbed or turned on."

You double over in laughter, watching Komaeda pull up the video and start it. He has a stuffed animal in his arms, and you laugh whenever he has to pause to laugh or hide his face in embarrassment. He's cute. He's adorable. You're literally in love with him. You don't expect him to like you, though. You did make a video of drinking his bathwater.

Komaeda finishes the video, and he places his hands together, leaning on his fingers. "I'm going to. That was one rollercoaster of a video, but that was way funnier than I thought it would be. I... do not know what possessed me to send them my bathwater, but it was a funny result. I hope none of you decide to buy my bathwater. That thing is already taken down from my website."

You fall off your chair in hysterics. That was hilarious.

You keep his stream running in the background as you style your wig. Komaeda plays Minecraft, the sounds of the rain and pigs filling your room. You'd usually style your wig on stream, but you suppose styling it while doing something else works too. You were excited to finally get to lie to everyone about your height. It was a joke. You had to stick to platforms to even want to achieve the character's height.

You wonder who Komaeda's going as.

Typing with your free hand, you ask him who he's going as.

"I'm going as Servant!" Komaeda smiles. "He already looks eerily similar to me, so I thought I might be able to pull it off."

You freeze in the adjustment of your wig.

The black wig in your hand suddenly feels so much heavier.

Oh, you're going to have the time of your life at Anicon.

The day of the convention itself arrives, and you've never been so glad to have not booked a table. It smells like shit here. The sweat and perfume coming from everyone's body is a whole mess. You almost want to throw up, yet you continue through the crowd. You were going to find Komaeda. You were going to find the gamer boy who sold you his bathwater and was in love with you. You were going to die on this hill if it's that what took you. You were going to hunt down servant even if it took you a lifetime.

You finally find him, head sticking out from the crowd, and you cough and get into character.

"I've been looking for you," You step next to him, reaching for his chain.

Komaeda's eyes glimmer as he sees you, and he smiles. "Kamukura-san!"

"Meshi," You hum flatly. "Did you get lost?"

Komaeda's fans crowd around the two of you, and they stare at you.

"They look kind of familiar."

"I don't know how, but they're... I'm jealous of their gender."

"Give it to me."

You stare at Komaeda, and you hum. "Alright, I'm breaking character. Can I get a photo?" You laugh, and Komaeda freezes, eyes wide. He recognizes that laugh. You were cosplaying as Kamukura? You were cosplaying as... his crush? His master? Oh. oh. That's surprising. You... did you plan it? Is his luck speaking? Did you plan this? No. There's no way you'd plan something as silly as matching with him for a cosplay.

"Hm? Komaeda?"

"Yes!" He stumbles over his words. "You can. I'm so sorry. I spaced out. Your cosplay is really nice."

"Thank you," You beam, and one of the fans takes a photo of the two of you.

"Can... I get them from you later? You can send them to me," He mumbles as he lowers himself to his knees, the chain still in your hand.

"Yeah," You get into character, dropping your expression and hardening your eyes. The fan has you step on Komaeda's crotch, and your eyes widen.

"Excuse me???" You stare at the fan, and they grin at you.

"Please?"

"I'll step on his thigh, but I don't know about... his crotch."

"I'm fine with it," Komaeda mumbles. "For the picture. The effect."

You furrow your brows at him, yet you don't argue with it. You're careful to not press too hard, and you tilt your head, mimicking a sneer. A larger crowd forms around the two of you, and you hear people whisper about the whole situation. You wonder if you're going to get canceled a second time. Komaeda stares at you with madness in his eyes, and the fan finishes, handing you your phone back.

"Thank you!" You grin. "Are you okay? I'm so sorry. Did it hurt? Please get off of your knees. I'm going to get flamed for having you kneel-"

"Please marry me," Komaeda mumbles as you help him up.

"What."

"A-ah, I mean," Komaeda rambles and looks for an excuse, and you purse your lips. "I'm sorry. I blurted it out in character before I even had the chance to think."

"It's fine," You smile. "enjoy the rest of con!"

Komaeda watches you leave, hearts in his eyes. Ah. He likes you. A lot.

The two of you wake up to your cosplay photos trending the next morning.

"GOOD MORNING STREAM," You yawn, holding your head up with your hand. "I'm so tired. I did not sleep well yesterday at all. No, user 420tits, it was not because I slept with someone. It was because I couldn't get the stupid image of Meshi out of my brain."

K0M43D4 joined the stream.

You blink at the screen.

K0M43D4: We're trending on twitter

"Huh?" You click open your Twitter, scrolling through your feed. "Wait... this isn't. OH, shit. This is my stan account. Let's pretend that we didn't just see me try and find myself on my stan account."

jackielope: was that... a Komaeda stan account?

"No," You shoot the user down quickly, neck growing warm. "Ah, we are trending. Really hard. Why is there a twitter headline for us. HUh??"

K0M43D4: I'm sorry you have to trend with trash like me...

"Komaeda, in unfiltered honesty, I'd jump your bones if given the chance. Don't say that about yourself."

The stream chat spams, and you read Komaeda's live tweets about him panicking. You stare dead into the camera, forgetting that Komaeda's on stream. "I want to fuck that man so bad."

kisskiss69: KOMAEDA'S STILL ON STREAM.

You stare into the camera, your heart visibly dropping, and you panic. "ALRIGHT!! I'm logging off for the day. I think I need to sleep before anything else. See you all when I recover from telling Komaeda I'd smash."

You toss your phone to the side. You need time to mentally recover from that. You don't want to see yourself get flamed for telling Komaeda you'd smash. You... you don't know. You'll sleep it off, hopefully.

You did not, in fact, sleep it off. You wake up to 30k more followers on Twitter, and you stare at your notifications, scrolling through. You pause at Komaeda tagging you in his tweet. Do... do you want to see this? Is this a smart decision?

Holy shit, Komaeda wants to fuck you too.

You quote retweet it, joking when Komaeda was free. You never thought you'd live to the day that you get laid because you bought bathwater off of someone else.

Komaeda on the other hand? He's in stream when he receives the notification. It's already hard enough streaming with his face flushed from embarrassment. He pauses his game and hides his face in the plush in his hands. Half of your subs are logged on in his stream, and the chat goes wild.

"I'm getting laid because I sold my bathwater, oh my god." Komaeda's ears burn hard, and his eyes widen in realization.

cr2ssie: Komaeda, if you don't fuck them, I will.

"NO!" Komaeda yelps a little too loud. "I'll respond. I... I'll do it. I... oh my god. Do you think they'll let me post it on onlyfans if I give them half of the profits?"

The stream says yes.

"I'll... is that too quick? Oh, my. I'm going to. I'll figure it out. I promise." Komaeda stumbles over his words. "I can't believe they want to sleep with trash like me..."

Komaeda jumps on the opportunity to message you back. You're almost caught off guard at how quick Komaeda responds to you. You have to take a moment to breathe.

kmda: If the offer is still available..?

Fuck yes.

A new feeling of excitement bubbles in your throat, and you chew on your bottom lip.

600613S: Always.

“‘I had a very A-list person call me when I commented on Meghan Markle before the Oprah interview and said to me: "Can you please take down what you said, they can barely stand up in Frogmore Cottage and they can't afford their security,"' Bethenny recalled.”

From the DM regarding Bethany ripping Meghan to shreds on her podcast. She’s essentially confirming they were broke to start with. So if they were broke in Canada and couldn’t afford their security then… and bought a 14 mil mansion (with a roughly 40-60k a month mortgage- not including upkeep) and are paying for security, her outrageously expensive wardrobe, a staff and God only knows what else. Even with their deals they are living far above their means.

The Lost Fortune of the Tsars is a fascinating read about the Russian royal family and what happened to their money after they died. I read it for the first time when I was 21 mostly because I have always been curious about Tsar Nicholas II and his family and I wanted to know what insights it held about what happened to them, but I gained insight to another side that had never even crossed my mind. The Tsar was one of the richest people in the world, but the majority of that wealth counted land and what are now historical landmarks that he essentially owned as head of state. His money was otherwise tied up in stocks of foreign banks at war, etc. The thing that stood out the most to me in the whole book though (and the thing I’ve never forgotten) is how all of the extended family royals who fled and lived in exile in England were constantly bailed out of debt by the British Royal family. The BRF essentially kept their lifestyle afloat, but the Russian Royals were otherwise broke.

Despite the duos resourcefulness, I’m calling this now: this same thing will happen with these two.

Thank you for this thoughtful ask.

I think every time they cry “poor” they’re definitely exaggerating as they’re prone to histrionics, as we all know. They were never not able to afford security if they were remotely serious about actually needing it instead of using this issue as a leverage to deliberately paint a picture of how cruel the RF has been to them. People actually concerned with security would never bring a reporter on a school run that has some details or release any photos of their kids, even side profiles. There are a lot of very famous celebrities with children that we literally have no idea what they look like. The fact that we know Archie goes to a part-day school somewhere in her neighborhood with other kids is problematic - they’re in a tiny town. I’m sure I could google and figure out where he goes, and she herself revealed all of that information to a reporter. So much for being security obsessed.

The problem is, as you noted, they’re not liquid. They don’t have the type of money they can fling around at their disposal like other billionaires. And that realllly bothers them. That’s what all of their tantrums have been about … and the deals that they make are a big FU to say, see, I can make my own millions too! But now they’re discovering just how hard it is to get up and work every day to deliver a finished product. They’re in an especially difficult spot, since other content makers with deals have some history of work, even if it’s not in media. Obamas worked their entire lives, in and outside of politics, have Ivy League law degrees. Others have produced, acted in, written, starred in award winning shows, plays, or podcasts. What do they know how to do? Literally nothing. He was at best the “face” of a popular European charity initiative modeled after Wounded Warriors with a whole team of royal staff propping it up; she was a c list actress with a remarkable knack for self-promotion. So what you’re seeing now is just that - two empty people only capable of spinning their own PR wheels to mixed results.

All of this is coming to a head now and I believe that it will be the breaking point in their marriage- when they finally see that they aren’t mogul material. They’ll blame each other and it’ll fall apart in less than 5 years. Both of them will seek refuge in where they should’ve never strayed from - he’ll go back to his family and she’ll either find an influencer type role that feeds her ego or marry some rich old guy with a private jet she can use any time she wants.

Tips for authenticity for HP fanfiction writers (mainly targeted at Snapedom but also other ship writers too)

I think so many people forget that Snape was British, from Cokeworth. Edit: Let it be said that Cokeworth is a fictional town, but according to the HP Wiki it’s located in the English Midlands, so it’s still useful information to know. We can sort of assume that Cokeworth was inspired by a community in Manchester. Edit: Manchester is not in the region of the Midlands (it’s about two hours driving from Derbyshire which is in the East Midlands, so while Manchester isn’t in the Midlands, it’s pretty close, but it’s still ‘solidly Northern’). (Thank you @turtlewexlerwrites for clarifying the geography for me a bit!).

But basically, we can sort of infer that Cokeworth is a fictional Manchester town because (fun fact) JK Rowling actually spent a lot of time in Manchester writing the books, and some of the descriptions of Cokeworth match areas of Manchester.

Edit: From there, if you’re trying to find believable headcannons for the character of Snape for example, then you can look up Manchester accents/cultural references to start adding to his backstory a bit more.

In terms of his mannerisms, Snape was surrounded by the Wizarding elite in Slytherin, who were essentially upperclass British citizens for the most part. Therefore the way he thinks, acts, and lives would be quintessentially British - part of him would be like the Malfoys, but the majority of who he is inside would be the bloke from Cokeworth. He’d have been influenced by his colleagues (*cough* McGonagall) and also his peers when he was a student. I don’t know how many Hogwarts students were born/raised in England/Ireland/Scotland/Wales and areas that speak using British English, but I’m guessing it was a lot, and even if they came from overseas as exchange students or something, they’d still adapt their language to the style they were hearing at school at Hogwarts.

So it’s important to contextualize what you’re writing, understand where your character(s) are from and how it would affect the way they speak/think, and how you should write as a narrator in third person, if that’s your style.

It’s interesting to think about what’s going on in the Muggle world politically at the time Snape (and other characters) were growing up. What were the big hits in British Muggle music? What were the trends in fashion, and what was the latest update in British slang?

If you’re not British yourself or haven’t lived in the UK, let me give you a run down of things that are widely considered British (or Irish/Scottish, depending) and are not really that stereotypical. Edit: I won’t really be addressing Wales for the moment but will be happy to cover that as people send me contributions about Welsh slang/traditions/cultural references. I also won’t cover Australia or New Zealand for the same reason, until someone offers to add a list! Just because I can only really personally talk reliably about my experience with things I know (England, Ireland, Scotland). Otherwise I’d have to rely entirely on Google and I don’t want to run the risk of making mistakes with a culture I don’t know much about! But I would love to learn, and I’d love contributions, so DM me! Thanks!! :))

T/W: lots of colorful language, mostly in British English (I am educating the masses on the correct naughty words to use in fanfiction written in British English, apologies in advance.)

About tea (leaving coffee out of it for now):

1. Tea. In quite literally any socially awkward or tense situation, or even in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, usually the first offer your host will make is some variation of “Tea?” or “Shall/should I put the kettle on?”

2. They will have their favorite mug or cup for tea.

3. They will have their favorite type of tea - whether it’s in a bag or in leaf format, and what brand. Edit: There’s Yorkshire tea, *Twinings tea, PG Tips, loads of different types. (Note: *Lipton isn’t a tea option in the UK. Thank you to @turtlewexlerwrites, because it’s 100% true!)

4. They will have their favorite milk or *cream for their tea. Edit: Some will be plant-based, others will be dairy. People have preferences for 2%/low fat vs full fat milk. Some will have lemon (for squeezing) as an option as well. (Note: *creamer/flavored creamers are not a thing in the UK, at least definitely not for tea, and I’ve rarely - if ever - seen it offered with coffee. Again thank you to @turtlewexlerwrites for mentioning this.)

5. And they will have a method for the actual preparation of the tea. It is the topic of major debate in most places in the UK. “What comes first, the milk or the tea?” / “How long do you leave the tea bag in for?” / “You MUST remove the tea bag before you put the milk in”. There’s loads of examples of how people's views on making tea.

6. Digestive biscuits, or any type of “cookie” (generally called biscuits in British English) will often be offered along with your tea.

About queueing and cars:

1. Queueing - or waiting in line - is a thing that people think of when they think of Britishness. British people are very good at it, even if they’re fuming inside.

2. Cars drive on the left side of the road. And that (usually) means that the steering wheel is on the right side, with passenger seat on the left.

(I wrote the next two portions on parents/grand parents and the school system after receiving on a by @ssshthatsasecret thank you so much for mentioning this! It’s so important. So yes credit to @ssshthatsasecret for the idea behind the next two sections.)

About the right way to address parents and grandparents in British English:

1. Mum, Dad, Mummy, Daddy

2. Father, Mother

3. Grandpa/granddad

4. Grandma/nan/nanny

You will never hear a British person saying “Mom/Mommy.” As @sssh (see tag above) said, Pops and Ma will also be rare. “Old man/old lady” are more of an Americanism than anything else so check context before you use it!

About the school system in Britain:

The school system in Britain is drastically different to the US and many European systems.

1. Children in the UK have to legally attend primary and secondary education which runs from about 5 years old until the student is 16 years old.

2. The education system in the UK is also split into "stages" based on the mandatory ages of education which breaks down as follows:

1: 5 to 7 years old

2: 7 to 11 years old

3: 11 to 14 years old

4: 14 to 16 years old

AND there are two levels: primary and secondary school (also known as elementary+middle and then highschool in the USA, or in some places known as Lower School and Upper School).

3. The year groups at primary School level are:

Year R (Reception) (age 4 – 5) Year 1 (age 5 - 6) Year 2 (age 6 - 7) Year 3 (age 7 - 8) Year 4 (age 8 - 9) Year 5 (age 9 - 10) Year 6 (age 10 - 11)

4. Years 7 and 8 are the first two years of secondary school

5. Year 9 is when they become seniors

8. Years 10 and 11: BIG exams in Year 11 (GCSE’s)

9. Year 12 and 13: A-Levels exams, then graduation.

More information on this:

10. Boarding schools (look them up it’s basically also the whole premise for Harry Potter)

11. College is called University in British English unless the name of the university has the word College in it

12. Teachers at universities are called Professors usually, but otherwise the word teacher is used.

13. Sixth form: 2 years of post-GCSE education which some students opt in for, Google it

In Harry Potter, the OWLs in Year 6 are based on GCSE’s in Year 11. The NEWTs in Year 7 are based on A-Levels in Year 12.

FUN FACT:

1. The Housing System exists in British schools, both general public schools and boarding schools

2. JK Rowling was inspired by an actual thing that happens in England ^

ALSO: Under the UK school system, all students study English, Maths, Sciences, a Humanity and a Modern Language. Besides these subjects, each school has a list with optional subjects (Art, Music, Drama, Latin, Sport Science, Design Technology, Computer Science), and students may choose a few subjects that interest them.

Math class is called Maths class.

If you have a British character saying “I’ve never been good at Math,” it’s an instead dead giveaway. Maths.

About social etiquette, and “softened” speech:

1. Generally speaking, British and UK people value manners very highly. More importantly, if someone you don’t really know asks “How are you?”, the correct response is “Alright, you?”. You do not elaborate. You do not say “My goldfish just died and I’m actually quite depressed.” No. You just say “I’m fine.” And that is acceptable.

2. Similarly, if something awful’s happened to you, you soften the reality of it. You play it down, and don’t make it a big thing. Being “stoic” is another stereotypical (but honestly pretty true) characteristic of classic Britishness.

3. A number of British, Irish and Scottish people I’ve met (especially middle, upper-middle and upper-class families) care a lot about table setting rules and table manners, so that’s worth investigating too and also incorporating into your characters. For example, Hermione as a character cares about table manners and oral hygiene, but she also was a single child from a family of two dentists. They had the time and patience to teach her that stuff. The Weasleys, on the other hand, may have been too stressed to deal with teaching their kids table manners after Charlie. (Bill, Percy and Charlie seem to handle themselves alright, and Ginny too. But Ron, as we know, is a mess, and it drives Hermione crazy even in the books). The Malfoys, comparatively, care about how they appear in public. These are things to think about. Where does Snape fall on the scale?

Vocabulary differences (colorful language coming up):

1. INSULTS: There are huge differences between USA English and British English when it comes to insults. For example, it’s really unlikely that you’ll hear a British person calling someone an “a**hat.” You’re more likely to hear them calling someone a “tosser/twat/wanker/git/prat/pillock” (sorry British/UK folks, this is a teaching moment). Note: If you use an American English word in a story that’s set in the UK, it’s noticeable. If authenticity is your goal, then Google is your friend. I won’t list all the insults here, I don’t want people to get the wrong idea of what my page is about after all. (lol).

2. Some other useful words (insults included):

*******There are SOOOOO many of these. Google is, as always, your friend. But here are some handy ones:

Bugger all/f*ck all: “He’s doing bugger all.” = he’s doing nothing, he’s not doing anything

Snog/snogged/snogging: kiss.

Shag/shagged/shagging: to have s*x.

Bloke: A guy. “Saw a bloke down Diagon Alley.”

Bonkers: Crazy. “McGonagall’s gone bonkers.”

Daft: Stupid/ silly. “Don’t be daft, Seamus.”

To nick: To steal. “Did you nick that pudding from the kitchens?”

Pudding: dessert.

Cheers: What you say when you toast someone, but it can also be the way you sign of an email or a message, or a way to say thank you. Like: “Flitwick’s looking for you, Harry. Something about an assignment you missed.”/“Oh, right. Cheers.”

Chuffed: Happy. “I got nine OWLs, did I tell you? I’m chuffed.”

Brilliant: Amazing. “That was brilliant, Luna.”

Proper/right: really. "I’m right chuffed.” “I’m proper chuffed.”

Gutted: Devastated. “I can’t believe Hufflepuff lost against Ravenclaw again. I’m absolutely gutted.”

Just now: right now, a few minutes ago, seconds ago, right then. “I don’t have time to do that just now.” or “Did you hear that noise just now?”

Fanny: vulva. In the USA ‘fanny’ refers to the derrière. In British English it refers to the vulva.

If you say “What’s the craic?” you’re asking what’s up with something/someone/how they’re doing.

Scunnered: tired

Jobbie: the thing. (**WARNING: this also means sh*t, so use wisely and in a very particular context [thank you @ill-informed-donor for the reminder!]). Example of the first definition: “Pass me that jobbie, will you?”

Edit: I won’t go into the more stereotypical Scottish phrases (“mad wae it,” “dinna fash”) because there are a few that have mostly been made famous by Outlander, but they’re not really used that often by Scottish people (that I know of) and I live with a Scotsman who’d yell at me if I started saying that it’s a good idea to use those phrases in casual speech for your characters. Also there’s a huge difference between Glaswegian slang and other regions of Scottish slang. So... yeah. Just be careful of where the stereotypes are.

Edit: if anyone knows Welsh slang or even Australian and New Zealand slang (the latter two are their own separate entities, I know, but still English and still handy to know the differences!), just reblog and add your list!

EDIT: Welsh slang!!

1. Contributions by @darlingsnape , thank you!!! x

Cwtch: to cwtch something. Pronounced cutch, meaning hug/cuddle

Lush: “that’s well lush!” - that’s gorgeous/great/brilliant

Tidy: “that’s tidy/bang tidy” - that’s brilliant/fantastic

“I suggest to watch Gavin & Stacey for more welsh-isms!”

2. Contributions by @imfuckinready, thanks a million!!! :)

Ych i fi: The Welsh equivalent of ew/yuck. (pronounced uch uh vee, with the ch being said with the back of your throat rather than a chuh sound). So if you saw something disgusting, you’d say ych i fi.

Ychi: Similarly, if something is bad, disgusting, or gone off (like food) it would be ychi (pronounced uchee). (You might also want to listen to the pronunciations on google, cos Welsh has weird ways of saying things that’s hard to explain with standard letters.)

Carrot: an insult. Carrot in Welsh means ‘moron.’ (It’s funny seeing people who don’t speak Welsh get confused, but if you told any Welsh speaker they’re a carrot, they’ll instantly understand you’re calling them a moron xD ).

Also, something to consider is that north Welsh is slightly different to south Welsh in language. Those in the north tend to have strong Welsh accents, whereas those in the south, like me, tend to sound quite English, with the Welsh accent being brought out when we speak Welsh.

Cultural stuff: March 1st is Saint David’s Day, which is a Welsh holiday. It’s kind of like the Irish Saint Patrick’s Day, but we have Saint David’s Day. It’s traditional on the day for girls to wear a daffodil (Wales’ national flower) and for boys to wear a leak, just like you would a pin or a broach. On SDD people make Welshcakes, they’re like flat scones with raisins in. On SDD, Welsh people also study the Eisteddford (pronounced I-steth-fod) which is just a celebration of Welsh culture. People make love spoons, which are wooden spoons carved with hearts on them, in different patterns - in old Wales, they were a common gift to loved ones. Also, we sing Welsh songs, like Calon Lan, which is a Welsh love song, and Sosban Fach. I suggest you listen to Calon Lan because it’s quite pretty. At the very least, listen to Sosban Fach, and read the translation, cos once you know what the song is about you’ll question our entire culture xD.

SPELLING (in British English etc.) !!!!!!!!!!

1. Hugely important: colour, not color. favour/flavour, not favor/flavor, and in most cases it’s honour, not honor. Check the British/UK spellings of words, and how they’re pronounced!

British Christmas traditions (for those of you who observe it or are writing about it in your fanfictions):

1. People often dress up on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

2. The 26th is Boxing Day. (Google it).

3. Christmas crackers. They’re mentioned in the books.

4. Going to Christmas Eve midnight mass, or watching the Christmas Eve mass broadcast.

5. Listening to Christmas carols/songs. (King Wenceslas for example).

6. Panto/pantomime.

7. Christmas pudding (usually covered with alcohol and then set on fire. It’s très dramatique) and mince pies.

8. Watching the Queen’s broadcast/speech.

Scottish traditions (because McGonagall):

1. Burns Night. (Google it).

2. New Years’ Eve in Scotland is called Hogmanay.

3. McGonagall was born in Caithness in 1935. She may have grown up around Scots Gaelic speakers. If you’re looking to use Gaelic in your fanfiction, I recommend doing your research first. Or just message me/send me an ask. :)

4. Céilidh(s). (Pronounced caylee/caylees). These exist in Ireland too. They’re like parties where everyone gets together to dance, or sing, or read poetry, but generally it’s like an assembly for Scottish/Irish jigs and dances.

5. Bagpipes, called ‘the pipes.’ A person who plays the bagpipes is a ‘piper.’ Also, they have pipes in Ireland, just not the same ones as in Scotland.

6. Highland dancing.

Not sure about Irish/Welsh Christmas traditions. Feel free to add/contribute.

Edit: I just remembered another three very important categories!

Cockney Rhyming Slang

This is too hard to explain, I’d recommend you Google it though, it’s everywhere in British vernacular.

But as an example - "face" would be replaced by "boat," because face rhymes with "boat race." Similarly "feet" becomes "plates" ("plates of meat"), and "money" is "bread" (a very common usage, from "bread and honey"). Apples and pears = stairs, and so on and so forth.

These are officially accepted rhymes in the slang vernacular by the way so you can’t just make these up.

A “porkie pie” is a lie. I had a British person tell me the other day “You’re telling me a porkie/telling me porkies.” It’s a thing. Just google it before you use it and try to make sure you’re using it in the right context.

“Old-School” British English

There are people who grow up in particular “upper” class families, or old fashioned families in the British-English UK, who have retained old ways of speaking, and a particular accent inspired by the Royal Family. If you watch The Crown and you hear the actors’ accents, there are some people today who still speak like that in the UK.

Some classic phrases I’ve heard being said by an Old-School British (in his seventies) man:

Good grief: my goodness/can you believe that?/oh no!/look at that. “Good grief, look at that.” (He was looking at a huge fallen tree). (Edit: not quintessentially British and not an ancient term, but see the reblogs of this post to read more on the history of this phrase!)

Don’t you know: know what I mean. “I really don’t care all that much for Christmas, it’s all so very consumerist, don’t you know.”

Edit: There’s also a very particular way that these people say “Oh” and “Hello”, as well. It sounds more like “Ay” and “hellay.” It’s an old accent of British English probably passed down from their grandparent and great grandparent. Some people think it’s a stereotype but you genuinely do encounter people who might come across as though they’re uptight or putting on an act, but it’s literally just their voice.

Regional English accents

There is not one single “British” accent. There are many many regions, and there are rivalries between regions. Emma Watson’s Hermione uses an RP accent (Received Pronunciation, also Google it), and so does Daniel’s Harry. Dame Smith does a solid Northern Scottish accent, but it’s also a pretty ‘posh’ accent - this mostly refers to the difference in Scottish city accents, and some regions are considered more ‘posh’ than others (it’s a rivalry between accents for sure). Edit: some Scottish and Irish accents are heavily influenced by Gaelic language. Edit: Alan Rickman’s Snape definitely leans towards RP english, parents were Welsh and Irish, so he was influenced by that, but I’d argue that his voice is largely RP/London, influenced by his time at RADA and growing up in London.

More on regional differences: There is a huge difference, for example, between London British and Manchester British. The accent in the Yorskhire Dales is absolutely fantastic. It’s beautiful. Some of these accents have remained the same for hundreds of years. There’s so much diversity in accents alone - Google it and have a listen.

Right, that’s all I’ve got for now. More to come at a later date, might update as I think of these! Feel free to contribute to the list.

So if you’re writing Snape fiction, or any HP fiction in any ship, and it’s set in Scotland/England/UK, bear in mind that the words you use will give away where you’re from as an author. If you’re a stickler for authenticity, then this might help you. If you don’t care about this sort of thing, then carry on.

Edit: you can always Google “British vs American English” if you want a better list of key differences.

Cheers ;)

Hello Hello!

I just wanted to say I love your fics!

ALSO!

Could I request a CC!SBI X Gn! Insomniac Reader! Where the reader is an insomniac (Obviously-) but is somehow a pro at MC!

Like they are basically god at the game! They also REALLY enjoy horror games! They don’t get scared easily and LOVE horror movies! They basically love anything horror/creepy-

ANYWAYS!!

The reader lives off of ramen and Monster energy drinks (For fun-)! They have a Twitch (Which has about 18 mil followers and 14 mil subs!) and a YouTube channel (Which has 20 mil followers!)

They mainly play horror games (Obviously-) and MC!

You can do headcanons or scenarios/images with the SBI! Maybe like playing a horror game together or MC? OR! Maybe some things they do together? Or when they meet up? Or-to many ideas Nightmare-

ANYWAYS!

I don’t really care! And don’t worry about taking too long on it!

ALSO!

Maybe we could be friends? Only if you want too!

Remember to eat, drink, and get enough sleep!

Yes. I lovesthese ideas and I'm gonna choose headcannons due to they are a bit easierfor me to write.

And yes I'm perfectly fine with being your friend! I'm actually happy to make friends on this app so yeah!

Pronouns:nonbinary

Tw: cussing. Insomia, mentions of horror movies. Mention of horror games. Fluff.

SBI with a horror streamer friend head cannons.

*Ahem* tommy wanted to paly a game with you so you choose a game that didn't look like horror until the middle. He screamed at the jump scare and it made both of your chats so happy.

When phil decides to play with you there is literally a silence after a jump scare. Everyone thought he had a heart attack and honestly so did you until he spoke up about accidently hitting his mute button when he jumped.

Wilbur. He's a bit better then tommy but more scared then phil would be. Any little noise won't get him but when it starts to get noticeable the noiseless to him. The jump scare, he'd fall out of his seat and stay on the ground for a bit. You ask if he's good and he literally doesn't answer. He's dead. You killed him. Congrats.

Techno. He'd handle them a bit better then everyone else. Not as good as you but heisnt very paranoid. He literally runs at the noises trying to get jumpscared. While you run after him telling him to stop because if he doesn't then you'd lose and die. And technoblade never dies.

If you all play together both tommy and wilbur pussy out. Techno last the longest and phil the second longest. While you remain the ruler of horror games.

Now how you all met was dream invited you to the dream smp to add to the chaos. Needless to say it got extremely chaotic due to you being on almost 24 hours. You first ran into techno. He seemed confused and skeptical.

You both found eachothers love for potatoes. You set up camp quote close to techno but not too close.

Phil popped in when he needed something for a build and noticed a new name. Talked to you in chat and asked to join your VC. You both found each other talking for a bit.

Wilbur was next. Wilbur got curious over the new person and just hoppedinto the same VC as you techno and phil. He was quick to realize that you were a famous youtuber. Mainly for your horror videos and your extreme Parkcore skills.

In minecraft that is.

Tommy noticing that all of you were in the same VC joined in with shouting. He was low key jealous that everyone was obsessed with you. Then he saw why.

You literally cracked jokes at his shouting.

"Is that an angry pomeranian? Nah nah. It's an angry child. Even better an angry blonde!" - you.

He was shocked and immediately started joking and laughing with you. He wasn't fully angry for long.

Now about your diet. When they heard that you had only eaten ramen and drank angry drinks they were concerned. You lived quite close to techno so when you guys met up he was shocked that you looked as healthy as you did.

He hated the fact that you literally didn't eat anything else.

You told him occasionally you have something other then ramen but you were just too lazy to really cook anything and that you didn't feel like burning the house down.

One month phil, tommy, wilbur, and techno decided to organize a month long sleep over so that they could celebrate your birthday. Phil being quote the father figure cooked different, but easy dinners every night just so you didn't eat only ramen that day.

When they actually arrived though you got a text from Phil asking about your address in your dms. Not think much of it you just sent him your location.

You were going to take a small nap. Just to bost your energy before you went and streamed later that night.

As you were sleeping there was a car heading to your house.

Phil, wilbur, tommy, and techno were all just existing in the car. And when they arrived to your house they didn't expect to actually see a clean house.

You woke to a loud knock.

When you opened the door in your half dazed state you expected a package. But to see four people standing on your porch.

You nearly jumped out of your skin.

You were stuck there blinking at them.

Finally snapping out of it you let them in. Confused on why in the ever loving fuck they were here.

Phil explained they were here to celebrate your 21st birthday and they were here for a month.

You stared at them for a while. Confused on what to do since you haven't had people over in almost 2 years.

But you got use to it.

So when you got done streaming and smelled something other then ramen you were thrown off guard. Like what was that. I haven't smelled that in years.

But after the second day you got use to it too.

For your birthday phil literally made a feast.

Like he found your favorite food other then ramen and cooked it. With that he prepared everything you could dream of.

Your sleeping habits. Let's dig into those.

I'm in no place to talk as right now it's 3:05 in the morning. And here I am.

But when they are over they don't let you stay up till no 3-4 in the morning. They all know the importance of sleep.

But there are those nights where no once can sleep and it results in a late night stream. And streaming for hours none the less.

The amount of accidental all nighters everyone has pulled was immense. But that's what happens with jet lag, adhd, and insomnia.

Literally you get tired randomly. Sleep for only 3 hours. Wake up. Drink coffee, energy drinks, highly caffeinated tea. And don't sleep till late at night.

Pillow forts.

It's a must and it happens. Horror movies, pillow forts, and snacks. Like you all are in this massive fort, watching horror movies, one by one you all are falling asleep. You and techno were the last up due to technos active mind and your body not letting you sleep.

You two literally just vide there, changing the movies from horror to some silly animated movies, like how to train your dragon, frozen, Luca, and many others.

You two pull an all nighter and it's actually a bet to see how long anyone else takes to notice.

You bet an hour. Techno says all day.

You won. Philza notices the worse eye bags under both you and technos eyes and immediately starts scolding.

He is papa bird and he won't let anyone of his children neglect their needs.

"Did you even drink water at all? You guys should of been sleeping not binge watching horror movies all night!" -philza

You could only offer a smirk, along with a laugh.

"I think we did I just can't fully remember. Also we were watching animated films. Not horror. Surprised you didn't wake up to let it go." - you.

You turn to techno.

"You owe me 15 bucks pig boy!"-you again.

Handing you the money he rolls his eyes. "Yeha yeah. Rub it in." -techno.

Ah yeah they found a horror game that you were scared of surprisingly. It was actually surprisingly you hadn't played it yet.

Outlast.

You had been holding off that game until you finished your other one but here you were. Bored out of your mind.

So you decided fuck it.

That game teriffed the shit out of you. It was so good though.

When you screamed they all came rushing up due to the fact that you never scream.

They say you out of your chair, on the floor, blinking. They thought you were hurt.

But you sat up and looked at your computer.

"Damn. That was actually really good." When you looked behind you and found the boys all staring you smiled and waved.

"You need something?"-you

"You screamed. We heard a thud. We thought you fuckin died!" -tommy.

"No I'm alive. My soul almost divorced my body but it's still quite here."-you

That day made highlights.

The popular y/n actually got jump scared. The one person who never screamed at horror games screamed.

When they left you were sad yes but they were still your best friends. Ready to talk when ever you want.

Sometimes I think that you guys talk all through out the night. Them forgetting that you were actually in a different time zone.

Sometimes they pop into your streams, be it MC, horror, you just talking to your fans, or even the once in the blue moon, cheerful games.

They just pop in and start talking to you. And you talk back like they were there since the beginning.

Phil is now one of your moderators too. Along with tommy, wilbur, and techno. When they pop in they make sure no one picks on you.

And since you are now close to the SBI. You are now part of it.

You didn't choose the fans did. But they are your new family. No matter what.

Even if they disagree with your eating habit.

Or energy drink addiction.

Or insomnia.

Or you mainly playing horror games.

Or you basically living in your streaming room.

Or even the nearly 24 hour streams.

I could go on but I'm not gonna.

I'm tired. But I can sleep. 2 days and I get to have a tour of my new school.

And it took so long to finally get into it.

We have been going through a huge hassle even before school started to get me enrolled.

And then we had to get me into this program.

But now on Monday I get to go in. Get a tour. Then start either Tuesday or Wednesday.

Anyway hope you liked. It's now 3:50 and it's no proof read I'm sorry

Knock knock. Heeeey where did you go? Are you healthy? Have you been getting vitamin D?

Perfect gif if you had a ring doorbell camera.

Hiiiiii lovely!

I am healthy and have been getting enough vitamin D - I actually ended up tan this year which I haven't done in ages but apparently that IS a thing I can do! I turned so brown everyone around me has commented on it, even my MIL who swore she's never seen me this brown lol. As for the *other* vitamin D...hehehe 😉

To be more serious - this year has been a doozy. Even after - or maybe because of - the year that was 2020. First off I can't believe we're close to the end of July? I - ?

But I've gone through a lot of strange things that have just made being here harder for me. My muses dried up as I struggled with life, and I allowed them because I hate forcing writing. I feel like it makes it worse on the reader too if they can tell the writer's heart isn't in it. I also just allowed the muses to dry up because I was finally in a position to take care of myself - I've entered therapy and been focusing on figuring out my mental health, which hasn't meant quite as much obsessive escapism into fic writing or tumblr. As much as I've missed writing, I've been so happy to actually have the time (including not moving around for a bit) to really figure myself out. I figure through the process and on the other side I'll find the inspiration to write but right now it's just been about my MH journey.

I don't talk about therapy here in this answer for sympathy points - more like I think more people should be like "yeah I go to therapy, so what?" Therapy is for everyone. It really, really is. I'm insanely lucky that I'm at a place/point/etc. that I've been able to make this happen for me. Therapy works and is amazing and isn't anything to be ashamed of.

Ok PSA over.

I can tell my muses are still there - I want to work on Lost on You, and After Rain, and Lovers & Dreamers, and my Vampyr fic, and Skyrim, and Mass Effect, and even my SDV fic. But I'm allowing myself time.

Also because right now the muse when it's there has been pulling toward my novel - it's 3/4 of the way done. I am S T O K E D.

Anyway I'm sorry this was a long-winded way of saying yes I'm alright! Possibly better than I've been lol. That has been a journey all on its own, realizing I can be better. It's a lot I'll be honest. Writing will happen but also time for myself has been...refreshing. And wonderful.

Thank you for checking in darling, I hope you've been well! I do tend to check DMs occasionally in case anyone needs me. 😘

Love,

Lara

The Bowers Gang With A Bipolar S/O

Request: Anonymous: How would the Bowers gang react to dating someone who's bipolar?

A/N: My last intent is to offend anyone who has any type of bipolar disorder I’m going off the symptoms for both manic and depressive episodes from the lists on the NIMH website so if anything is wrong feel free to dm me about how to correct it

Warnings: Mentions of sex

Henry

Henry is definitely not the best person to be around during an episode

But not the worst either

Like if he finds a way to help that works he’ll do it again

But yeah he finds those times tough

The manic ones more so

During manic episodes he would get a bit overwhelmed at the amount of energy you have

Especially the way you sleep less

But also enjoy the risk taking side that could come with them

Because you’re more likely to do borderline illegal shit with him and the guys

And of course enjoys the higher sex drive

And the confidence boost is hot as hell to him too

He is a bit better with the depressive episodes

Aside from being a bit annoyed at the decreased sex drive

And the times you toss and turn

Early rising isn’t so much an issue since he usually does it to get chores done

He would try to make you feel better when you get REALLY into your feelings

But I mean this is Henry you can’t expect anything too great

Also would totally make a comment unintentionally if you gain weight

And then three seconds later be like “Fuck I didn’t mean that”

Even though he did bc we know Henry has such a lack of a filter

So yeah not that great but FAR from the worst

Patrick

Just terrible in both senses

Obviously during manic episodes he’ll take full advantage of all that energy

Keeping you up all night

And like Henry play into the riskier side

Just to see what he can get away with during it

Like pushing boundaries you usually don’t let him

But that’s about it

Good luck getting him to try and help during the depressive episodes

Patrick rarely sleeps and when he does he is an EXTREMELY light sleeper

So you waking up early wouldn’t be an issue

But your restlessness during it will throw him off

Like if you toss and turn too much he would tie you down

To keep you in one spot

Would make a comment about how your boobs or ass looks bigger if you gain weight

And obviously he won’t help how you’re feeling in the slightest

Maybe best to try and distance yourself from him in the worst of it

Because he is the last person you should want to be around

Vic

Moving on to one of the boys who actually has a clue what he’s doing

Vic is pretty good with you during both kinds of episodes

During manic ones he tries to keep you calm

Especially when you’re talking like a minute about something

Or need to focus in class

He’s got you

You two have system for that at this point

Will try to keep you entertained as long as he can when you can’t sleep

But eventually he crashes

Will try to make sure you’re eating enough

And try to keep your riskier side under control

As for depressive episode Vic is ready to help

He’s ready to try and help you feel better the best way he can

You wake up earlier than him that’s fine

You get restless he’ll hold you to make you feel better

He’s got this

Wouldn’t say shit if you gained any weight because he knows better

Belch

Now this?

THIS IS THE BOY YOU WANT DURING ANY EPISODE

He has this way about him that just calms you down

So even when you’re going on about a billion different thing

If he looks at you with his sweet smile

And tries to keep up with everything

You just find yourself able to slow down

Will just hold you even if you don’t fall asleep

Mil always make sure you ate enough

he won’t push you if you really don’t want to

But he wants to make sure you’ve gotten enough for the day

Will try and hold back your riskier side

And thinks your extra confidence is so cute

Now during a depressive episode?

Wow is he your rock

Feeling especially down?

Your boy has got your back

He will do anything he can to get you to smile

A drive, a long talk, some snuggles, a dumb joke?

You name it if it works it makes him so happy he could take away your pain

Even if is a short period of time

You usually wake up before him anyways because boy be a heavy as shit sleeper

Having trouble sleeping though?

Well that’s just an excuse for him to hold you even closer

To control your restlessness

Which sometimes actually works

Bc wbk this boy’s arms are safe af

And easy to drift off to sleep in

If you do gain weight

And you’re feeling insecure about it no worries

It is this boy’s number one priority to make you feel like a princess

Also he’s a thick boy and has no problem with the fact

He is so comfortable in his own skin

So ofc he wants you to be too

Will do whatever he has to to make you believe that

So yeah no surprises there Reggie is the best boy to help you out

My Problem with the Animal Crossing New Horizons Trading Community

Okay, first of all: I don't exactly dislike the Animal Crossing Community, but I dislike the Trading Community for various reasons.

The Problem with Raymond

He's incredibly popular at the moment and comparable to Marshall's Hype when Animal Crossing New Leaf was released. Marshall's prices went to about 40 million bells! But that was when Amiibo cards didn't exist. Raymond doesn't have a Amiibo card (yet) which makes him rarer and harder to get. Also a big problem is that prices for him go to about 1k nook miles tickets, or more! It's insane, and many people use Raymond to scam others. I remember one time in a Trading Discord Server someone got scammed for about 700 nook miles tickets in hopes to get Raymond. It's seriously not funny. But I only witnessed scamming when it was about Raymond, any other popular villager like Judy or Audie were mostly legit. I just can't understand why anyone would want to scam someone who'd give their soul for Raymond. It's disgustingly unfair. I really hope a Amiibo card of the New villagers will be released soon in a new series. But speaking of Amiibo cards:

2. Overpriced Amiibo cards on e-Bay

Some Amiibo cards are being sold for about 300 dollars! A single Amiibo card! It's absurd. And sometimes, the card isn't even being delivered! I once bought Beau's Amiibo card for like 15 dollars on e-Bay, but it never got to my house. But that was 2 years ago. I don't even want to imagine how many people lost like 300 dollars for a Amiibo card in a time like this. The cards are overpriced because of New Horizons being released, but scamming someone in this high amount of money is really disgusting.

3. The people who always complain

This is based yet again on my personal experiences, but it really annoys me so I want to talk about it. Let's say: you're in a trading Discord server and want to get a few nmts or bells or whatever for a villager which is fairly popular. You price it like everyone else did with that character. But then, someone messages you saying: "You're so greedy overpricing a character like that! Shame on you. I hope nobody buys them from you." An example from my experiences: Fauna wants to move out. I didn't want her on my island, so I thought I'd sell her. I was looking for either nmts, bells, Kyle or large star fragments. I put as an BUYOUT, yes "buyout", price 70 nmts or 5 mil bells or Kyle or 10 large star fragments. As BUYOUT and not as STARTING PRICE, because I was actually auctioning Fauna. You don't have to give me so many nmts. The person who offers the highest would've got her. Like, I sometimes even give away villagers I have as Amiibo Cards for FREE, so I don't think I'm greedy. But Fauna was a villager I got after 30 mystery island tours, that's why I wanted to compensate these 30 tickets I used up. I wanted to text that person back explaining what I actually meant and that it's not overpriced because you don't need to offer that much, but the person already closed the chat and dms couldn't be sent. Really? Okay, but this isn't the only time something like this happened: a friend of mine asked in a community from Amino if anyone would want to visit his island because he's got a 350-380 (can't remember exact number) turnip price but the entry fee would be 2 nmts. Then in this public chat everyone was like "omg you're so greedy. some people are doing this for free and you want something for it?". Yeah, wow, what a crime wanting 2 nmts. If you don't want to pay 2 nmts, then ignore it. I just can't get over these people. I mean, even when something is indeed "overpriced" , there will always be people who'd still buy it. If nobody wants to buy it, I think you can reflect yourself and then lower the price. I just don't get it. I'm not hating on people who are saying their opinion, but, in this case they even insulted my friend saying stuff like "Wichser" (I'm German and this happened in a German Community which is why this insult is German and I don't think there's a correct translation for it in English). Anyway, what I wanted to say is: If you don't want to buy something, but others want to buy it, you shouldn't make a drama out of it.

So, that were my reasons why I dislike the Trading Community in Animal Crossing New Horizons. There are a lot of nice and considerate people, who you can trade smoothly with, and then there are... other people.

This is JUST my opinion and personal experiences. I wanted to make this blog in hopes of finding someone who also feels like this about the Trading Community. Maybe I was overexaggerating, but at least now I could share my thoughts.

Distance Between Us - Choi San

YOUTUBER AU

WORD COUNT: 7166

GENRE: fluff <3

WARNINGS: fluff overload, cussing, my cringe writting

Who was Sanshine? And why did this username keep appearing in my comments? I just decided to brush it off and continue scrolling, but there were barely any comments about the video I had just posted, they all just said Sanshine.

I just decided to ignore it and continue with my night.

It was pretty late, around 22:24, but I still had a few things to do, like eat and shower, so I did just that before laying in bed. I checked the comments once more, but they weren’t any different. They all only said Sanshine. Who is Sanshine? I was so tired and just wanted to go to sleep, so I put my curiosity on hold until the next morning.

I woke up to my phone buzz buzzing like crazy. There were all messages from my friends and notifications from my social media’s. I opened up my messages and it was my friend spamming me with “Sanshine”.

Who the hell is Sanshine? Do I need to make a video about this? The fact that so many people are telling me about this “Sanshine” person, it’s probably something just to mess with me. I sighed and got out of bed to make myself look presentable before sitting in front of a camera.

I set up all my lighting, my seating and my camera and cleaned up at but before starting to record.

“Really, guys?” I sighed.

“Who the hell is Sanshine? What kind of sick joke is this? I’m not stupid, y’all are just trying to get on my nerves. You’ve even got my friends spamming me with “Sanshine” like, it’s literally so stupid, I don’t get it” I complained, throwing my hands in the air.

“Y’all know about my curiosity, and yeah is slowly killing me cause I haven’t looked it up yet, but come on, can you maybe not? It’s annoying, please don’t spam my social media and my comments and even my text messages or dms with this “Sanshine” thing like, it’s beyond stupid, thanks” I said and ended the clip.

My channel is actually a complete mess. It goes from gaming videos, to vlogs, to covers and its really just all over the place. I honestly just can’t stick to one topic, and yeah it’s annoying.

It checked my phone for the time, more messages from my friends that all say “Sanshine” and it was 11:02am. I was going to go shopping/vlogging with some of my friends, so maybe I should get ready so I don’t look like a total mess?

I started to wait on my couch once I was done, to hear the door bell ring or possibly someone trying to break down my door with their fists, either one could happen. It was sadly the second option.

I opened it to Peyton pounding her fist on the door and it almost hit me in the face.

“You bitch, you almost hit me in the face AND my camera” I laughed a bit, glad I decided to record me literally answering the door.

“Whatever. Are you Sanshine’s girlfriend yet?” Peyton wiggles her eyebrows.

“I don’t even know who that is” I scoffed and made my way to the car.

“Look him up, dumbass” Alexandra rolled her eyes.

“I’m not going to and there’s literally nothing you can do about it” I laughed while getting in the passenger side.

“Fine, we’ll tell you about him” Peyton huffed, getting in the back while Alexandra got in the front.

“No thanks, I don’t want to know about him” I chuckled before plugging my phone in.

“What do y’all wanna listen to?” I asked, looking at them.

“Literally stop asking us, BTS” Peyton rolled her eyes.

“Keep it up with that attitude and I’ll reach back there and slap you” I threatened, maybe not so playfully while turning on a playlist full of BTS.

“Ok so his name is-“ I cut her off by turning it up louder.

“HE IS IN BUSAN RIGHT NOW, IF WE RUN INTO HIM AND FANS IT IS GOING TO BE A HELLHOLE” Peyton practically screamed over the music. All I did was put up the okay sign.

We arrived to the place we were going to be walking around at around 20 minutes after, and they haven’t tried to mention this Sanshine dude once since, and it’s making me nervous. Something isn’t right, they’re secretly planning something and I know it, but I just don’t know what.

We walked around, I filmed a bit, took some pictures with fans. I even decided to talk to some fans that came up to us while we were eating near the water fountain.

“So, have you contacted Sanshine, yet?” A fan asked and I rolled my eyes.

“What is this Sanshine thing? Who is he? I keep getting people saying Sanshine to me, but I don’t know who he is nor do I have a desire to” I laughed a bit while playing with my straw. The couple of fans pouted.

“You should really look into him, please. He made a whole video about you-“

“That’s enough, she can look up the rest herself if she wants to” one of the fans friends covered her mouth from saying any more.

“He made a whole video about me? Without even knowing me? What?” I asked, now more intrigued.

“Oh my god, there he is. We have to go, bye y/n, it was nice meeting you!” The group yelled while waving, as they sprinted away.

“There’s who? What? He made a video about me? I have literally have made nothing controversial, ever. What is-“

“It’s not a controversial video, WE LITERALLY CAME TO YOUR DOOR AND ASKED IF YALL WERE DATING YET” Peyton said, raising her voice towards the end, grabbing peoples attention.

“Dude, shut up” I whisper shouted at her.

“We’re not telling you any more, if you want to know more go look him up yourself” Alexandra rolled her eyes and continued to drink her drink. I scoffed before sitting back. I scanned around the area until I laid my eyes upon a breathtakingly handsome boy. Shit, his jawline could cut, his hair looks so fluffy, I want to touch it. OH SHIT HE JUST SMILED HIS DIMPLES OH MY GOD-

I need to calm down.

“Y/n? You ok? You good?” Alexandra snapped her fingers in front of my face. I gulped.

“Y-Yeah, I-I’m fine” I stuttered, shaking my head to snap out of my thoughts.

“You’re blushing, where’d the handsome dude you saw now?” Alexandra laughed, and I covered my face.

“Shut up. We need to leave, now” I said before standing up and dragged them away from the area.

“Why do we even take you out anymore?” Peyton sighed, it was more of a sarcastic way.

“Literally, if you think he’s hot go ask him out!” Alexandra yelled once we had gotten away from that area. I shook my head.

“Well, what did he look like at least, so if we see him again we can get his number for you?” Peyton asked.

“He was cute-“

“No shit” Alexandra rolled her eyes.

“Fine. He has a really sharp jawline, blonde fluffy hair, his smile is fucking adorable, not to mention dimples and oh my god I might hyperventilate” I described him and they looked at each other wide eyed.

“What?” I asked.

“Shit, you’re in love” Peyton smirked and I playfully hit her arm.

“No, he’s just cute. He could be a dumbass for all I know” I rolled my eyes and we continued walking and weaving between stores.

I saw the dude once more, and we made eye contact. I immediately ran from the area, Peyton and Alexandra following far behind.

“Literally, stop running from every cute guy you see!” Peyton shouted, making heads turn our way. She knows how to embarrass people.

“Shut up!” I whispered at her. She just laughed. I looked around and saw a group of people pushing the handsome guy towards me.

“G-guys...he’s coming towards us..meet you back at the car” I said quickly before sprinting my way back to the parking lot and jumping inside the car, which they had stupidly left unlocked.

They joined me a few minutes later, panting from the running they had to do.

“We scared everybody off” Alexandra laughed. I nodded a ‘good job’ to them. She proceeded to start the car and drive back to my house, where I didn’t know what we’d do there.

It was late and today’s vlog has just been uploaded, starting with the Sanshine message I filmed earlier. I scrolled through my Instagram, and this Sanshine guy was even in my recommended to follow. I couldn’t see what he looked like, his profile picture was a sun with a smiley face.

I rolled my eyes and checked the comments that were just now pouring in. Only a few of them said Sanshine, and some of them were apologizing. I laughed lightly and shook my head before putting my phone away.

It was around 21:09, it was still pretty early, for me at least. There are nights where I stay up until ungodly hours editing, it’s most nights. I don’t have anything to do, besides eat and shower. There was no point in checking my comments, it’s all the same thing.

One thing lingered in my mind, though. Who is Sanshine? My curiosity has slowly been eating away at me, and I don’t know how much more I can take. I looked at my computer, debating whether I grab it and look him up.

Before I can register everything, my fingers are typing away and scrolling on YouTube. He must be a YouTuber, those fans said he made a video, right?

I press the search button and his channel pops up. 3.4 Mil, not bad. I scrolled through his channel until I saw a video titled ‘confession’. It had my channel name in the thumbnail.

I clicked on it. It was the same guy from earlier. Oh my god, he was Sanshine. H-He likes me?

I watched more of the video, and it was basically about him confessing he has a crush on me, without even knowing me.

“I-I know it’s stupid... but I’ve been accused so many times of hating y/n or having something against them but, I-I don’t want you guys to think that anymore. Please don’t spam her comments or DMs or messages with anything about this, if she decides to.-”

I paused the video. I mean, it’s true that you can fall for someone online, I’m as real as can be on YouTube, if you fell in love with me through my videos, I’m not any different in real life.

I shut my computer and tried to take my mind off of him. I made myself some good, ate, showered and tried to sleep, but I couldn’t stop thinking about him. Something about this Sanshine guy drew me in, though I eventually passed out with the image of him in my head.

I woke up to light pouring into my room, right through my curtains. How late is it? I rolled over to look at my phone. Oh shit it’s-

“Y/N ITS LITERALLY 13:07 WHY THE HELL ARE YOU STILL IN BED?!” Peyton bursted through my door and yelled.

“WHY THE HELL ARE YOU IN MY HOUSE?!” I yelled back.

“We can talk about that later, get out of bed so we can go” Alexandra laughed nervously.

“Are you telling me I look like shit and that I have bad security?”

“Yes”

I got out of bed and pushed them out of my room so I could get ready. I grabbed my camera, making sure I had charged it, grabbed my backpack, phone and ran out to their car to meet them.

“So where are we going?” I asked, and started to film my first clip of the day.

“So um, yesterday Peyton kinda broke her left shoe..” Alexandra trailed off.

“Fine, I’ll buy you new shoes” I rolled my eyes and laughed.

“Huh? Oh no, I can pay for them myself, it’s just we wanted to drag you along. Also Sanshine-“

“Yes, I looked him up last night” I sighed and they both burst out laughing.

“Oh my god, yesterday, you literally called him hot and cute like 6 times” Peyton laughed.

“Okay, first of all it was 2 times, second of all he is and I’m just telling the truth” I rolled my eyes. Peyton scoffed and rolled her eyes before Alexandra turned up the music to stop an argument from possibly breaking out.

We arrived at a different place from yesterday and got out. Wanna know who I saw?

Sanshine.

I wanted to look away but I couldn’t. I felt bad about what I had uploaded yesterday, I kinda wish I had done my research before I posted the video, but guess who’s dumb? Spoiler: it’s me.

We made eye contact, but this time I didn’t instantly turn away. I looked for a few seconds before turning back to my friends, who were trying to pick out a new pair of shoes for Peyton.

“I kinda like these, do you think they’ll have them in my size?” Peyton asked, while turning around to show me a pair of shoes.

“Probably. 9 times out of 10 they’ll have your size. Go ask” I shrugged, shoving my hands into my pocket.

“What video are you gonna post today?” Alexandra asked while Peyton asked the staff for a pair to try on.

“Probably half vlog half gaming. I’d ask Peyton if she wanted to play with me cause I was planning on playing some overwatch, but we both main d.va therefore we’d be fighting on who gets to play as her literally every single round” I laughed a bit.

The rest of the day went smoothly, we only hung out until about 5:30, and they had to go back to their shared apartment.

I was filming some gameplay before I got a notification from my phone. I went to check it only to see a notification saying someone requested to DM me on Instagram, I never get these kinds of notifications unless they’re from a verified account.

“I’ll be right back after this round give me a moment” I said before leaving the game and stopped my filming.

Confused, I unlocked my phone and went to my requests and- oh god. Sanshine DMed me.

Sanshine: Hey y/n, it’s kinda weird for me to drop by like this but I just wanna say I’m sorry for the things that have happened the past few days. I didn’t mean for it to go like this and I just wanted to be honest with my fans. I’m truly sorry.

I laughed a bit while reading his messages. As if people constantly saying “Sanshine” to me actually affected me one bit. That’s funny.

Me: It’s alright.

I kinda feel like a dick for giving him such a short response, but I’ll probably send him another message later. For now, I need to finish this video.

As I snuggled under my covers, I suddenly remember to text Sanshine back. I checked our DMs, and he read my message.

Me: Hey sorry, I was busy earlier and couldn’t give a real response. But it’s really okay, I try my best to stay true to my fans too and sometimes, as much as we try, there are somethings we can’t control, and at the end of the day, we’re all humans who can make their own choices, whether they are wise or not. Ps you’re cute ;)

I added the thing at the end, probably just to excite him. I don’t want to lead him on or anything, but I don’t want to like, leave him, you know? I think we could be friends, and if feelings develop, probably more. I shut my phone off and laid back down, thinking about him... I couldn’t be catching feelings, could I? I only know what he looks like and that he’s sorry for people constantly spamming me with Sanshine. Hell, I don’t even know his name. He’s cute and sorry, that’s all I know...

I opened my eyes the next morning, still wanting to sleep, but was that going to happen? No. I checked my phone and it was 09:34am. I looked at all my social media’s, and it looked like the Sanshine stuff wasn’t going to be clearing up anytime soon.

I got out of bed and started to get ready for the day. I wasn’t going to be doing anything particularly interesting today, so I’d probably just post a cover or a gaming video, probably a livestream though. I checked my Instagram DMs to see if Sanshine responded to my message, and sure as shit he did.

Sanshine: O-oh..okay well thanks heh. Let me know if you ever wanna hang out sometime then.

Aww, he stutters over text, how cute. I smiled to myself before shutting off my phone and going to get dressed and whatnot.

After that, I made some breakfast to eat, just eggs and toast, nothing special. As I was eating, I was wondering what I should do today. I could go out again, why? I don’t know. I could play more video games, I could buy a new game and livestream? I could stalk Sanshine, I don’t know but there are plenty of options. Then an idea sparked in my head.

People ship Sanshine and I. Ships always come with fan fiction. That.. that’s it. That’s exactly was I was going to do today. My smile grew as I started to set up to film this video. I went onto the most popular site for fan fiction, wattpad, and typed in my name x Sanshine. Sure enough, lots of stories came up. I debated whether to ask Alexandra and Peyton if they wanted to come over, but decided not to. I pressed start on the film button.

“Hey guys! How are y’all doing today? My day has been... boring honestly. I ate and that’s about it. As I was wandering around my house, thinking about what I should do for today’s video, a great idea popped into my head!” I started, a small smile forming on my face.

“I thought, hm, people ship this Sanshine dude and I, ships always come with fan fiction, why not read some?” I smiled at the camera, knowing I had cause some of my fans who were going to watch this pain.

“So I went onto a popular site called wattpad, and well, typed up my name x Sanshine and well, a lot of results came up. You guys are quick” I laughed.

“So I’ve decided to read this one book called y/n x Sanshine one shots. I had no clue what a one shot was, so I looked it up on urban dictionary, and apparently it’s like a short fan fiction, so we’re just going to be reading a book full of those” I explained before clicking on the story(s) that I was about to read.

“This is what happens when you aren’t creative and have shitty content” I sighed.

“Okay lets get started”

“It was a bright, sunny day and y/n and San, wait his real name is San? Like, mountain? Give me a moment” I said before bursting into laughter off camera. About 3 minutes later I regained my senses and wiped my tears before sitting back down.

“Sorry. I have no clue why that was so funny to me, I feel so bad” I chuckled before continuing to read the rest.

About half way through the 3rd one, things started to get a little... hot.

“Oh. Um. Oh my g o d. Will I get demonetized if I keep reading this?” I asked myself.

“San slowly took off y/n’s shirt while kissing her- yeah no I think that’s enough” I laughed awkwardly before slamming my computer shut. I looked directly into the camera before situating myself.

“Anyways, um, that’s the video. I’m scarred, so if that was your guys goal, good job you have succeeded. If you desperately want me to read more fan fiction, y’all better get me to 800k likes cause that was hell” I chuckled.

“Bye” I waved before turning off the camera. I sat down at my desk, opened my computer and proceeded to edit and post the video.

Sooner or later, my phone buzzed. Another DM from Sanshine.

Sanshine: Hey, haha. Sorry to bother but can I steal your video idea? You know, the reading fan fiction one?

Me: Sure. If you’re still in Busan we can film together if you want.

Sanshine: Damn, I just got back to Seoul a couple hours ago. Maybe next time?

Me: Sure.

I smiled and turned off my phone. This kid... why does he have my heart feeling this way? I noticed he had always been following me on Instagram, so why not follow him back? Fans were probably going to explode but oh well. As soon as I pressed the follow button, literally 3 seconds later everything in my tagged said I followed Sanshine. It made me wonder how many people were actually keeping track of San and I.

I laid back on my couch, turning on the tv for some background noise. It was around 15:06 already, I still had hours to kill. Peyton and Alexandra were bugging me on why I didn’t invite them to read fan fiction with me. I just texted them to shut the fuck up.

•

A few days pass, and San has kinda caught my interest. I’ve been watching his videos lately, and he’s funny and entertaining. I had subbed to him recently, and my socials have blown up. I haven’t talked to him since the fan fiction thingy, but it’s fine I guess. His dimples are so cute, it actually makes me melt though. I think I have a thing for dimples, my friends call it a kink but I don’t think that’s possible. A kink for dimples? Just listen to how weird that sounds!

As on cue, an Instagram DM notification pops up on my phone. San. Of course. I find myself smiling while reading his message.

Sanshine: Hey. I hope it’s not too weird for me to be messaging you like this, haha. Just want to know how you’ve been :)

Me: Oh, hey. I’ve been good. Maybe it’s a bit weird, but I don’t mind messages from you! How have you been?

Sanshine: Oh, thanks. I’ve been doing well. I just kinda maybe.. wanted to know if you’d like to be friends or something?

Me: What’s the or something? ;)

Sanshine: You’ll find that out soon ;))

I silently cringed at the winky faces, but the conversation continued for hours upon hours until he had to leave. I soon found myself smiling and blushing while reading through our past messages. We had swapped phone numbers half way through, for better communication I guess.

The shipping material hasn’t died down at all, though. In fact, now people think we’re secretly dating and it’s all the drama that’s going on. I shut my phone off and plugged it in beside my bed so it could charge. I fell asleep happily that night, thinking about the long conversation we had. Ew, that was cheesy, but you get what I mean. I hope.

I woke up the next morning and rolled over to check my phone, only to see a text from San.

San: Good morning, I hope you slept well and I hope you have a wonderful day! Don’t forget to eat and drink lots of water!💞

Oh my god. He sent me a good morning text. Tell me he isn’t boyfriend material oh my god and he put hearts too, I’m going to scream. Then I scrolled down to Peyton and Alexandra spam texting our group chat, asking if I wanted to go out today. I have nothing else better to do, so why not? They said they would pick me up around noon, so I had around an hour to eat and get ready.

•

I got into the backseat of their car, my camera out.

“What’s up?” I asked.

“How’s you and Sanshine?” Peyton turned around and smirked. As much as I wanted my smile to drop, it only grew bigger. Peyton started squealing, which turned into a scream, which turned into a shriek.

“T-THAT MEANS THERES SOMETHING GOING ON!!! TELL US!!” Peyton screamed and Alexandra hit her lightly for Peyton to calm down. I turned off my camera.

“We’ve just been talking. That’s all” I shrugged.

“No, y’all have been flirting!!” Peyton yelled again.

“Maybe-“ I was cut off by Peyton’s screaming.

“Calm down!” Alexandra yelled. I leaned back in my seat after giving a few details and buckled up, turning the camera back on.

“So, where are we going?” I asked curiously.

“To fucking Seoul” Peyton joked.

“I don’t mind” I shrugged.

“Of course you don’t, your god damn boyfriend lives there!”

“He’s not my boyfriend, dipshit!”

“Mhm”

I rolled my eyes before they turned on some music. You guessed it - BTS.

•

We arrived an outdoor mall, basically. It was small and not commonly known around here, therefore it was a nice, easy place to walk around in.

“So what are you guys planning on doing?” I asked as we walked around.

“Just this. Maybe buying a few things. Doesn’t matter, really” Peyton shrugged as she skipped around, leaving Alexandra and I to follow her in a fast walk.

I sat in the changing room, bored out of my mind as the other 2 went to go try on some clothes. There were a lot, and they’re slow, so it’ll be awhile. My phone dinged, only to see a text from San. I smiled and unlocked my phone.

San: Hey. What are you doing right now?

Me: Oh, hi. I’m at the mall with Peyton and Alexandra. They’re trying on clothes so I’m stuck in the waiting area, haha. What about you?

San: That sucks lmao. I’ll entertain you. I’m not really doing anything, my dorm mates abandoned me.

Me: All 7 of them?

San: Yep. All 7. They’re just out doing their own things, some of them are probably at a mall like you while the others went out to eat or something

Me: Aw, well I’d never leave you

San: Even if you tried, you couldn’t ;)

I let out a small yelp as I felt someone touch my shoulder.

“Who are you texting?” Peyton smirked.

“I-uh no one” I stuttered as I struggled to slip my phone back into my pocket. Alexandra and Peyton looked at each other other suspiciously.

“Mhm. Alright, let’s go we’re paying then getting some food” Alexandra tugged on my arm to the cashier where they payed for their stuff. They then dragged me to a nearby café that was in the mall.

We sat down at a table after ordering our food. As the other 2 engaged in a conversation, I got back on my phone under the table.

San: Y/n??

San: Hello? Did I scare you away?

San: I’m sorry

Me: Nonono, sorry haha. My friends dragged me away to go pay and whatnot. We’re in a café right now. That was my fault, heh

San: Oh, no worries. I was just scared that I had finally scared you off lol

Me: Scare me off? Never

San: Never?? You wanna hear my pick-up lines?

Me: Sure ;)

San: Alright

San: Did it hurt?

Me: When I fell from heaven..?

San: No when you fell from the vending machine

Me: What the fuck San

San: Cause you a snack ;)

San: Hello?

San: Uh oh

Me: I feel attacked

San: Not a-snacked?

Me: lmao pls stop

San: Never ;)

Me: Lol I’m leaving bye

San: Wait no come back please

I shut my phone off to see Peyton and Alexandra smirking at me. They had somehow grabbed my camera without me noticing and were now filming me.

“So, y/n, who were you texting?” Peyton said, smirk growing.

“Uh...” I was at loss for words.

“Who? Tell us! You want to be real, right?” Peyton pushed it further.

“S-San...” I gulped before hiding my face.

“What about?” Alexandra asked.

“Uhh... j-just entertaining each other..” I stuttered. Right at the perfect moment, someone came to the table with our food. We thanked them before I stuffed my mouth with food so I wouldn’t have to answer questions. I chewed slowly, snatching my camera back and stopped recording.

“Guys, why? I don’t think people should know about San and I talking and getting to know each other. It can be blown way out of proportion and people would go absolutely crazy” I explained and they gave me the :o face, as if they just really really understood why. I shook my head and continued eating.

They dropped me back off at my house, and I showered and changed, before starting to edit my video. My phone buzzed, and it was a text from San.

San: Hey

Me: Hii

San: Wanna FaceTime?

Me: Sure

This was the first time San had asked to FaceTime, so I was a bit nervous and excited. As much as I’ll try to deny it in the future, I’m catching feelings.

My phone screen suddenly changed to my reflection as it showed San was calling. I hit accept and only showed my eyes. It connected and he showed his full face, his smiling growing so his dimples were showing.

“Hey, why aren’t you showing your beautiful face?” He smiled and I slowly showed my bare face, glasses and everything.

“There she is” San’s smile grew wider, somehow.

“So, what are you doing right now?” He asked, propping up his phone so he wouldn’t have to hold it as he rested his chin on his palms.

“Oh, nothing. Just editing today’s video, you know?” I said with a small awkward laugh.

“That doesn’t sound like nothing. I still don’t know how people do it, post videos everyday? That seems impossible for me” he chuckled.

“Well that’s cause you have no friends. Friends that hang out with you, anyways” I shrugged and he pretended to look offended.

“That hurts my feelings, how dare you” he scoffed and pretended to cry, making me laugh.

The call lasted for hours, and I probably would’ve forgotten to post the video of he didn’t remind me. His roommates came back around an hour and a half into the call. They bugged him and annoyed San every once in awhile. I just laughed at all his attempts to shoo away his roommate, Mingi and another guy named Wooyoung.

•

Months passed into the winter, and San and I still talked as often as possible. We flirted shamelessly over text basically every second we talked. There were no labels, until one day I was out with - you guessed it, Peyton and Alexandra, shopping for Christmas. My phone buzzed, only for it to be San. Who else would it be?

San: Hey wanna be my girlfriend?

Me: Sure

San: Holy shit that was easy

I laughed at San’s shock over text, and suddenly, my phone screen lit up only for him to be calling me.

“Hello?” I said with a small laugh.

“You’re serious, right? Like, you aren’t fucking with me for shits and giggles?” San asked, voice full of shock.

“Nope, 100% serious” I laughed.

“Oh my god ohmygodohmygod” he squealed and I laughed even harder at his excitement.

“HAHAHA FUCKERS I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND NOW!!” I heard San scream out his door before shutting it.

“I’m glad you’re excited, but maybe can I call back later? I’m kinda out and about right now, and in public isn’t the perfect time to be calling-“

“Of course! Call me as soon as possible!” San said cheerfully.

“Okay, well bye Sannie”

“Bye Y/n-ie!” He sang into the phone before I hung up. After a few seconds, it washed over me that I’m now dating Choi San. Over the internet.

“Why are you stuck? Come on!!” Alexandra yelled and dragged me to another store. The amount of money I’ve spent today is quite something. I don’t like to use my money, or a lot of it at once, at least.

After a few more stores and a few more hours, we had finally left the mall and Peyton and Alexandra took me back home, as I carried in all the bags in one trip.

After putting away my things, I decided to do live stream on Instagram. As soon as I pressed start, there were already thousands of viewers. I started to read off random comments I saw.

“Y/n do you still remember Sanshine? Yes, in fact, I do. We talked for a bit after people started bugging me” I chuckled, hoping it seemed real.

“Did you know that he has a girlfriend now? Or supposedly does? Sanshine has a girlfriend? Hm, interesting” I shrugged.

“Yeah, he met her over the Internet. She lives in Busan like you. He exposed himself when one of the people he lives with in his dorm was doing a gaming live stream, and Sanshine shouted “hahaha fuckers I have a girlfriend now”. In fact it was earlier today” I read out. Oh shit, people caught on quick.

“I’m happy for him” I shrugged it off and continued reading more comments. Then San texted me.

“Why do you have time to do a livestream but not time to call me back?” I read out loud.

“Oh shit, I forgot to call someone back. If you’re watching this, I’ll call you right after” I smiled awkwardly before continuing my live.

It ended about 45 minutes later, and as soon as I ended it I called San.

“You hurt me” I could hear San pout over the phone.

“Well, I could’ve not called you back in general-“

“You said once you were home”

“I said as soon as possible” I rolled my eyes. He tried to hold back a laugh before he started cracking up on the other end.

We stayed on call for awhile, we ate dinner on the phone together and whatnot. Our calls always last for an average of 3-5 hours, sometimes more, sometimes less.

As I was laying down in bed, my phone resting on my nightstand, we were just talking.

“I wish we could see each other for Christmas” he sighed.

“Me too”

“I wish I could go to Busan, but I can’t”

“Why not?” I asked curiously.

“Because of stupid reasons. Also cause my dorm mates said they’ll kick me out if I spend another Christmas away from them that isn’t with my family” he sighed again.

“They wouldn’t”

“They would”

“You could come live with me” I suggested. He paused for a moment.

“Hm, maybe” he shrugged.

“What? Am I that scary?” I laughed and he looked offended.

“No! You’re softer than a pillow and marshmallows!!” He shot back, which made me laugh harder. Rolling my eyes, we continued to talk through the night, not even realizing the time until somebody called him out for it.

“San, will you shut up already? You guys have talked all night! It’s already 9!” Mingi yelled from his bed. We both checked the time, and you bet, it was 9 o’clock. My phone battery wasn’t low, due to it being on a charger but damn was my phone hot.

I quickly checked to see how long we’ve been on call for, and shit it’s been 15 hours... 15 hours of nonstop talking.

“Shit, I might just sleep through the day” he chuckled.

“Ah, me too but I don’t want to leave you..” I sighed.

“Come over” he said, and I had no clue on whether he was joking.

“Wait, are you serious?” I asked.

“Yeah, I’ll wait for you. Give me a time and I can pick you up” he said and I could actually hear him smiling. How do you hear someone smile, I don’t know.

“Okay.. let me look at train tickets” I said, getting out of bed and getting onto my computer. I looked at the train tickets for the quickest trip from Busan to Seoul.

“The quickest I can find leaves at 11:30 and takes 3 hours and 11 minutes” I read out to him.

“Good. Pack a lot, you’ll be staying here. Don’t worry, if you run out of clothes you can wear mine” he said, possibly winking. It was easy to predict his actions now, knowing him so well.

“Alright then... see you in 5 hours I guess” I said with a small laugh.

“BOYS WE HAVE 5 HOURS TO CLEAN UP THE DORM MOVE YOUR ASSES” San screamed.

“Okay, yeah see you. I can’t wait! Bye!” He squealed before hanging up the phone. I rolled my eyes and went to hop in the shower. I had just done my laundry, so everything was all nice and clean.

After taking a quick shower, I quickly packed everything I needed. Hygienic things, clothes, chargers, laptop, but I don’t think I’ll need a guitar yet. Plus, he once said one of his dorm mates plays the guitar too, so we’ll see.

I started my vlog, nothing too exciting, just saying that I was going to Seoul for a little bit. I managed to get Alexandra to give me a ride to the train station, not Peyton cause she’s scream the entire time. Alexandra is a bit more on the calm side.

I was around 10 minutes early, and I sat on a bench, waiting for my train to come. A few fans came up to me and ask me for pictures, and it probably looked like I was dead inside or something cause I was so tired. I had truly stayed up all night calling San.

As soon as I got onto the train, I sat down and relaxed, sticking my earbuds into my ears, and fell asleep hugging my luggage so no one could steal it.

I woke up to the announcement that we had arrived, and it was around 14:45. I texted San that I had just arrived, and he said he got stuck cleaning the last bits of the dorm so one of his dorm mates, Seonghwa, would come get me. I’ve talked with Seonghwa quite a bit, he’s nice. He likes to steal San’s phone when San goes to the bathroom and talk to me.

I see a familiar face walking up to me, and I started making my way to him, as we smiled tiredly at each other.

“Hey, y/n. So nice to meet you in person, now!” Seonghwa greeted me.

“Hi. You too” I smiled back.

“Are you hungry or anything?” He asked and I shook my head. He led me to his car and we talked the entire way back to the dorm. I was so close to seeing San again.

“Y’know, San has had a crush on you for the longest time. Now that you guys are dating, he keeps telling us it’s a dream come true” Seonghwa exposed San, making me burst into laughter.

“Oh really? A dream come true, huh?” I repeated and he nodded. We eventually made it to the dorms they lived in, and he took me up to their dorm.

“This is it. Ready to meet your boyfriend?” Seonghwa asked.

“That sounded weird, but yes, yes I am” I smiled. He unlocked the door and opened it, and in sat 6 boys, legs all crossed, sitting up straight and pretending to be all fancy. I looked at them for 3 seconds, looked back at Seonghwa, and then we burst into laughter.

“You guys know how to make a first impression” I laughed as they now all came to the door and greeted me. I greeted them back, slipping off my shoes.

“San’s in his room, tired as hell and dying of nervousness” Hongjoong told me. I thought for a bit before deciding to see if I could scare him, but that’s maybe not a good idea.

I carefully knocked on the door and I heard a small “come in!” and I peaked through the door, only to see San pacing back and forth. I walked in and shut the door.

“Not gonna greet your girlfriend?” I asked and his head snapped towards me. He ran the steps he could and pounced on me, almost knocking me over.

“Y/n!!!” He shouted. I smiled and hugged him back.

“Hi Sannie” I giggled and he only hugged me tighter.

“I can’t believe you’re actually here!” He said, pulling back to look at my face.

“Me too..” I said and he kissed my nose. I blushed, hiding my face into his shoulder as his arms slid around my waist.

“Are you tired? Hungry? Thirsty?” He asked. I shook my head.

“Just a bit tired, had a power nap on the train. Wasn’t a good one, but it’ll do” I snuggled into him more.

“Then let’s sleep!” He announced, helping me, somehow, undress of me of my dirty train clothes and slipping on new ones, by that I mean one of his shirts, even though I brought a lot of my clothes. Maybe it was moving a bit too fast, but who cares? All I wanted to do was be in San’s arms.

He let me under the covers first before getting in himself, arms sliding around me as he held me close to him.

“Hmm, I’ve wanted to hold you like this for a long time...” he sighed blissfully.

“Have you?” I asked, fingers brushing over his adorable neck freckles.

“Mmhm” he said with a slight nod, and you chuckled.

“Just think, it’s almost been a year since you’ve posted that video. When did you post that? March?”

“Yeah, March. I’ve liked you for longer, though” he shrugged.

“Scientists say when you like someone for more than 6 months, you’ve fallen in love with them” I stated a fact I learned awhile back.

“So does this mean I can officially say I’ve fallen in love with you, then?” He asked with a small laugh.

“If you want. That means I can say the same, too” I smiled, hiding myself.

“Oh?” He asked playfully.

“Am I that irresistible?” He teased and I playfully hit his chest.

“Stop” I whined.

“Never” He laughed back, pressing a small kiss to my forehead.

“I’m so glad you here..” He mumbled into my hair.

“Me too. I’m glad we finally closed the distance between us…” I said into his chest. It was silent then, as we just held each other, waves of sleep taking over us.

Succeed Through Online Marketing

How Electronic Advertising and marketing Will Change: 17 Forecasts for 2020

Electronic advertising is not any unknown person to modifications.

Succeed Through Online Marketing - We have to stay on our toes if we want to stay relevant with the never ending changes to algorithms and regulations and part of that is positioning ourselves for success.

Precisely what is digital marketing planning to look like in 2020?

We experienced possessed 17 computerized entrepreneurs weigh into tell us what they see about the horizon, therefore we can all prepare accordingly and also a great season ofclicks and engagement, and sales.

Allow me to share 17 forecasts for electronic advertising and marketing in 2020.

Benton Crane, CEO of Harmon Brothers

Ad platforms (looking at you Facebook or twitter) continues to highlight shorter content material (needless to say, they want to offer more thoughts). Brief-type, nonetheless, limits what you can do to construct your company persona, voice, and world.

We foresee the profitable strategy may be to perform advertising chess, not checkers. In chess your parts have various strengths and weaknesses, whilst all checkers parts are identical. If you build up your web marketing strategy use a mixture of simple, medium sized, and lengthy-develop information. Don’t stop building your brand character, voice, and universe with longer-form content, although use the short-form content to appease Facebook’s algorithms.

Logan Fletcher, Content material Marketing Administrator

If you aren’t posting videos on social media, 2020 NEEDS to be the year you start, otherwise, you’ll get left behind, Succeed Through Online Marketing -.

Beyond that, we foresee a higher appearance of companies on social websites, since they try to create a technique that can help them purchase an advantage on opponents. Online video on sociable systems will probably continue being with the fore-front of effective methods.

Not only are B2B companies going to focus on creating video for LinkedIn, but they will also start to take notice of IGTV. With changes to Instagram’s algorithm formula, video clip placed on IGTV will go to the top of your followers’ rss feeds, and also be discovered much more prevalently on users’ investigate web pages. This will result in more movie prospects, a more substantial audience, and more advantages.

What different will we see in 2020? We believe that online marketers will begin focusing more on consumer demands, instead of “marketing requires.” Entrepreneurs will start responding to customers’ questions directly that will create campaigns that solution these inquiries. The only real individuals who actually make a difference are definitely the people who we want using our service or product. Refocusing what exactly is sent to customers will be a pattern in 2020 that many firms will not be capable of disregard.

Michelle Barnum Smith, AMZ Messenger Bot Group

The Amazon marketplace is consistently in flux. There are far more individual label retailers now than before as well as the marketplace may become much more competing. To stay in the video game, sellers really need to be tough and flexible.

Probably the most crucial methods to adjust is to possess a brand name-attitude. A product is not pretty much turning up having a individual merchandise-it’s about creating a local community of fervent buyers. The best and easiest method to start off is by using driving a vehicle your very own outside website traffic employing Talk Advertising and marketing tactics by way of ManyChat.

ManyChat tends to make chat advertising and marketing an omni-channel expertise. Now dealers can operate multichannel promotions through a single tool and reach their viewers in the most efficient techniques possible. Chitchat advertising will certainly make market developing, item establishing, and item advertising seamless for Amazon . com Dealers.

Tara Robertson, Director of Customer Marketing and advertising at Sprout Sociable

2020 is all about refinement. Brands not just need to focus on who they really are but moreover, the way they are different from competitors that will create remarkable experiences for customers. In ahead of time, online marketers will emphasis much more about becoming buyer obsessed by making certain each and every touchpoint is steady and purposeful. Supplying outstanding consumer experiences has stopped being a “nice to have,” but an hope-specifically as businesses aim to get noticed inside their saturated markets.

For that conclusion, there will be an increased desire for content and experience that favors high quality more than quantity. We are living in the age of authentic marketing along with the a lot more related and relatable your marketing and advertising is, the better dedicated your market can become. It is not simply regarding the new system, sophisticated AI, or even a powerful technology stack. The truth is, I actually think it will likely be the opposite.

We have to cut back time contemplating our automation plus more time considering the way you can connect with our buyers and each and every other. We expect far more customization than ever before as buyers and it is essential that marketing and sales crews fully grasp the and this need for connection.

Jenna Snavely, Creation Content Manager at DigitalMarketer

I talk to a lot of experts in the industry, as host of The DigitalMarketer Podcast. From all of the my podcast job interviews across the minimum year, the marketplace developments we have been viewing carefully at DM, and my own acquiring habits-I believe the easiest way to get support in 2020 (or maintain your steer) will be serialized consumable online video content.

It is a huge opportunity to outline your company sound and make a crowd, and the majority of importantly…it’s a way to more than-produce.

Manufacturers which do the difficult job, receive the payout.

Nathalie Lussier, Founding father of AccessAlly

Succeed Through Online Marketing - In 2020, I forecast that more men and women will carry on and “cut the cord” from cord and proceed to streaming options for their entertainment. It’s approximated that 45 mil men and women will depart their cable tv or satellite suppliers in 2020.

Exactly what does that pertain to digital marketing and advertising?

This means that as interest changes far from classic Television set advertising, more marketers will have to get innovative and find approaches to get to individuals on-line alternatively.

That may be the two a true blessing and a curse: It’s going to raise the cost of advertising on the hottest platforms like Facebook, YouTube, and Google, although it’s going to create more work for digital agencies.

Brand names may not be moving all their dollars to “pay for every click” advertising, they will often also up their content material advertising and marketing budgets in order to happen in social offers and chats, also! Content marketing organizations, be aware!

Splintering Community Platforms

For businesses that want to boost their communities on the internet (and who does not? ) there is an intensifying have to take acquisition of community place.

For many years the right spot to host a group has become via Facebook organizations. There is a great deal of growth and engagement on Facebook or twitter, because of an previously a built in habit (or possibly is it an dependency? !).

However, the tech giant has experienced some political and ethical backlash and more digital business owners are looking for alternatives.

I foresee that programs that permit you to generate neighborhood “on your very own turf” like Palapa, Mighty Sites, BuddyBoss, and Wp are going to see plenty of development.

However, as much as I see people building these networks outside of the Facebook ecosystem, those that have tried and failed say the the vortex is strong… and engagement isn’t as high.

So, there will likely be a splintering of communities across different platforms, and I suspect also a consolidation for those groups that don’t get enough traction off Facebook when they return.

Intensifying Polarization & Woke Advertising

So will the political polarization in 2020, as the planet’s climate continues to heat up.

Brand names can have an option to help make: remain neutral or have got a perspective.

The companies that stay higher than the fray will steer clear of the drama and the unpredictability that comes with going into the chat on everyone’s thoughts.
