#i wanna make these types of outfits for the other units but i think i gotta think of something their unit can be other than DJ unit

[caramelmochacrow]

"Beating so fast, seems like it'll burst..."

[project-sekai-facts]

Is it me or are the new outfits simpler? Like old ones had a lot of tiny useless details all around, the new ones look "cleaner" in comparison. It's not bad I kinda like it but it definitely feels weird

Before we start I just wanna say that I kinda critically analysed the costume designs instead of you know. just talking about the details. cool here we go

Yeah aside from VBS they all feel so. Plain, I guess? MMJ’s outfits probably the worst instance, imo they felt more same-y than before and I get they’re an idol unit so they were gonna be uniform but there’s something off. It’s the blue, I get that it’s probably a nod to the blue penlights, but using green or their respective image colors would’ve been better I think. You can barely even see Haruka or Shizuku's image colors on the skirts. Honestly I don’t think the accessories are that bad, they’re pretty cute and fit the group, though the costume being so plain outside of them just makes it look like there should be more. the thing is the outfits aren't the same, they have different skirts and shirts like the original it's just the fact that they all have the same color scheme and similar-enough accessories that it makes the differences less noticable. their image colors should've been the primary or secondary color not the tertiary color.

Leo/need I can get being more uniform, it goes with their whole thing, and I liked how there’s still a lot of details to differentiate them and give them personality. Honestly their original color scheme was pretty basic but making their image colors the secondary colors instead of of the primary colors of their outfit? it just wasn't it. honestly it wouldn't be too bad if the grey wasn't such an ugly color it looks really bad. if they'd gone with black or a much darker grey for the blazers it would've looked so much better and made the accents stand out more. also, the lack of accessories... i get they're more "professional and mature" but their outfits are quite boring, especially next to Miku's. If all of them had a big star armband like Honami or even had a bigger star buckle anywhere (like on a belt) it would look a bit nicer.

WxS was an improvement from Leo/need maybe? The outfits are definitely the most detailed so far, and they had a lot of personality. I like that they kept the original theme of character types (Rui being a villain, Nene being a fairy, etc), and it's not hard to tell what role each of them are meant to be (except emu but it wasn't obvious what hers was in the first place). I think Tsukasa's fits his personality quite well; he plays hero roles so he has a prince sort of outfit, he's the leader so he's got the sash, and he usually dresses very smart. it's very plain though, definitely could've done with brighter colors on the accessories, and maybe keeping the belt charm. also the jacket and trousers being the same color without much to separate them and balance it out doesn't look great. emu and nene's are both better, the color palettes are really nice and their outfits aren't plain holy shit. Emu's fits her personality really well - just by looking you can tell she's a fun and positive person. Rui's is probably the one i'd say is best out of the bunch. I know we can't see the front but the asymmetry and use of black in the color palette makes it stand out a lot and really adds something that the others were lacking. it's a very good villain outfit as well.

N25's were simple, but managed to actually pull it off. they didn't feel really plain compared to some of the other units despite actually being pretty plain. their outfits were always dark, and that hasn't changed, but making the colors more murky adds an extra layer to it. the addition of the flower patterns really adds something to take away the plainess of the original outfits, as well as adding relevant symbolism. Mafuyu's especially stands out being the lightest color and being the most ragged. It tells you she's different, she appears bright and perfect at first, but when you look further down, she's damaged. The image colors could've done with being a bit brighter maybe but other than that these are pretty good.

VBS outfits are actually really good. There I said it. They're able to feel cohesive as a group while still managing to reflect the individuality of each members and not be plain. The outfits fit their personal styles really well, Kohane's more girly, An's more cool and mature, Akito's sporty and active and Toya's more smart but still has the street look. Despite their outfits looking totally different, you can tell they're a unit because of the reddish-pink accents on all their outfits and also using white as a unifying color. i know i complained about the white making the other outfits plain but it's far more balanced out here and isn't as in-your-face. it isn't like MMJ and WxS that have white as their main outfit color. With VBS it's just one white item of clothing: Kohane's sweater, An's cargos, Akito's hoodie and Toya's tshirt. it's incorporated in a very natural way and isn't overly prominent. their image colors and other colors are used just as much in the outfits to balance it out. they have the best balance undoubtedly. even the accessories, they aren't big and there's not a whole lot of them, but the outfits already have a lot going on so they don't need to be complex, they're just there to add something extra.

There’s too much white.

[soulariarym]

Gf x dom anon again, that’s kinda long I’m just gonna call myself Fero anon cause I’ll definitely request more in the future. Anyways Hey! It’s time to share my fantasies to the world lol

I was thinking of something like this: you come home after a long day of work to your wife dead on the kitchen floor. Danny is there of course—he was waiting for you to come home. Originally he closes in to kill you too thinking he had the upper hand, but the way he talks so desperately about wanting this turns you on. He sees your arousal, and puts his knife away temporarily so that you can plow him on that kitchen counter. Whether he kills the reader in the end can be up to you, Idm. Also please include breeding in this (No mpreg) that shit is godsent. Also also, Danny wearing lace panties would also be appreciated. I hope this was enough detail!

A/N: Hello again Fero! Sorry I’ve taken so long to write this you must’ve been impatient and I do apologize. I did get Covid and still have it but for some reason I have motivation to write. Hope the wait was worth it :) I won’t necessarily add “breeding kink”in this as it makes me uncomfortable but I hope cumin in Danny will work

Danny Johnson // Dom Male Reader

Keys jingling could be heard in your ears, unlocking the door to your apartment.

You honestly just wanted to go to bed and get some rest from your long hours of work.

You were about to just head to your bedroom and collapse on the bed, assuming your wife would be waiting for you. You sigh as you walk in the bedroom realizing she was nowhere to be seen.

“Honey?” You called out, no answer. “Honey I’m home” still no response. You instinctively got worried, she’s always home when you arrive. Late night walk? No no she wouldn’t go out this late.

You put a hand on your chin as your thoughts clouded your mind, maybe she’s just taking a bath or grabbing some late night snacks? You should check either way.

You walked to the bathroom as you opened the door, noticing the light was off. Turning it on you didn’t see your wife, you figured so as the light was off.

Turning the light back off you walked back to the hallway, heading for the kitchen.

“Honey? Are you ok?-“

Your breath hitched in your chest as a feeling of pure adrenaline and fear filled your body.

There she was, your wife bleeding out on the floor unconscious and probably dead.

You froze not knowing what to do, your mind going blank

“Hi hun glad you could make it back… safely~”

You heard a voice as you looked to your side you noticed a man in a mask with a robe-like outfit. His voice wasn’t his real voice and you could tell by the voice changer he had in his tone.

“W-what do you want from me?! Get away from me you bastard!”

Danny sighed as he walked closer “isn’t it obvious? I want to kill you, I’ve been watching you, following you, stalking you, I need you so bad~ you’re absolutely perfect~ please please let me kill you, your blood would look so pretty on my knife. I can’t take it anymore, I need you”

The way this man talked to you had pure hot lust flooding your mind. What was wrong with you? Why was this turning you on?

Those thoughts quickly faded away as you slightly bit your lip, uniting your tie as you looked at him.

Danny giggled a little noticing your actions, he placed his knife behind him on the counter as he walked up to you.

You immediately felt yourself getting hard and the man began unbuckling your belt, looking up at you.

“I think we can have some…other types of fun for now… what do you say? Handsome?”

All Danny heard was a low groan come from you before you spoke, your lust moving your mouth for you.

“Bend over the counter right now”

Ghostface immediately listened, bending over as he rested his head in his arms.

“How naughty, came here to kill me now you wanna be fucked? That’s very naughty Ghostface”

Danny chuckled as he pressed his ass against your buldge and he wiggled around on it a bit.

“Cmon don’t act like you don’t wanna fuck me, my ass is so prepared for you, please please fuck me”

You chuckled as you undid your belt, one hand pulling your pants and boxers to your ankles while the other on Danny’s hip.

Once you pulled up his outfit you noticed what he was wearing.

“Well look at you, it’s almost like you were waiting for me” you said in a stern voice.

“Maybe…I was..like I said tonight would be the night you take me…and I take you~”

The way he said that last line had your heart pounding. From fear? Lust? Desire? You weren’t sure but the position you were in quickly fogged your thoughts of any hesitation.

You softly traced the designs and skin revealed through his lingerie, in almost a teasing manner.

All that could be heard was Danny cute sighs and breaths.

You gently uncovered his sensitive spot, wanting so bad to just rip his lace off but you didn’t wanna make him change his mind and kill you on the spot so you kept it soft.

You gently pushed a finger in him as you heard Danny’s moan almost immediately, not only that but the feeling of him being a little loose already.

He’s been touching himself.

“I ah~ sorry if I-I’m a little lose I c-can’t help but touch myself around you mm~”

All you could do is smile at him as you knew, you didn’t need to prep him at all. He’s been so needy for you he’s already ready.

With that you harshly held his head against the countertop as you shoved yourself inside him with no warning.

The moan that followed sent chills down your stomach… so High in pitch…Godamn he sounded like a bitch in heat.

“I ah, mm sorry I can’t help it shit~”

You grabbed his throat, squeezing it a bit but not too tight to suffocate him.

“Shut the hell up”

Danny listens immediately, legs already trembling as you manage to hit all his sensitive spots with no issue.

“I uh~ hah~ you feel so good please don’t stop, don’t ever stop~”

Never in your sex life have you ever heard someone so needy and desperate to be fucked. Not even your wife was this submissive to you.

However the sweets cries and moans he released only fueled you to keep going, tightening your grip on his waist as you fucked him faster and relentless.

Danny’s masked slipped of a little during the movement of getting fucked out, his mouth was revealed to you.

Danny didn’t seem to mind. But you? You felt the butterflies swarm in your stomach from the view.

His mouth was open, drooling and smiling, his sharp canines biting his bottom lip a few times.

You felt that feeling of wanting to cum swarm your groin and you lifted up his legs with your arms, releasing his neck.

“I~ gah~ I’m gonna cum so hard against your country mm~ you want me to hmm?~ I’m gonna coat this counter in my cum~”

Danny said, nails scratching at the marble counter, not doing any damage but he still tried anyway

You continued fucking him, as your dick shot out cum into him. Danny took in a deep breath as he felt you cum into him, the feeling making him cum as well.

You both were trying to catch your breaths as you let go of his legs, sitting on your couch as you continued to take deep breaths.

Danny chuckled, pulling his mask and robe back to how they originally were.

“Yknow~ I wouldn’t mind doing this again~” he said, walking over to you.

You grinned at him, smiling before looking at the kitchen again.

Danny sat on your lap, mask fixed as he stared at you.

You felt panic rush through your ribs and chest when you noticed the knife he had set on the counter was gone.

Your eyes widened as you looked at him in panic, sure enough there he was, holding the knife in hand.

You couldn’t scream, not even a yelp came out before he waved goodbye, plunging the knife in your heart.

“I’ll make sure you’ll be in the newspaper for weeks~”

Your vision went black as a click of a camera could be heard.

[askgarymfoak]

So now that I've bulldozed my way through the Galar Villains Arc Part 1, I need to ask a question.

DENA WHY IS IT EVERY SINGLE GALAR CHARACTER CURRENTLY IN YOUR GAME HAS A CAMEO IN THIS ARC BUT BEDE???????

Like what?! And that's not a joke btw: every single Galar character in Masters was given a cameo in some way. Even the Yell grunts! But not Bede? Holy hell I probably sound unhinged over this but I'm so utterly confused and a bit irritated lol.

!SPOILERS! ---v

I honestly want to go all game theory on this choice and this arc for a minute and y'all can just scroll by while I make myself out to be crazy.

Maybe - just maybe! - Bede is meant to be Rose's foil in this arc. I don't have much to go on, but:

All of the story battles in the Arc itself have the same type weakness: Fairy Type. That's an odd choice considering Rose and Oleana are Steel and Poison units. Wouldn't their lackeys follow suit?

Leon and Victor's plan involves working to make Rose understand that they and other folks care just as much about Galar's future, but I have a feeling someone is going to let slip that Rose is not their Rose. It would be fitting for Bede - who isn't privy to this plan and seems to be excluded on purpose by the others - to spill the beans by accident. Maybe that would be enough to change Rose's mind.

Alternatively, Bede might be the best person to convince Rose of his folly. Their team dialog implies that Bede not only doesn't hold much of a grudge against Rose but that he may still be loyal to Rose in some way. He mentions proving himself to Rose specifically. Rose, in turn, mentions seeing if Bede has improved. Bede might be willing to explain to Rose the future that Rose hasn't been through yet, or even use their own falling out as an example of something (he thinks) Rose might want to avoid.

There aren't alts yet, and we usually get a couple for specifically villains arcs. Maybe we'll get Bede in his Gym Leader outfit? It would tie in to my idea that he brings up how Rose has affected him. Might also be a good way to introduce Opal, too.

I JUST FIND IT REALLY FUCKING SUSPECT THAT HE'S THE ONLY ONE OMITTED FROM THIS ARC THUS FAR

I think it's highly unlikely that they'll exclude him entirely, but his importance to the arc is still really up in the air. Ugh. I don't wanna wait...lemme see the boy!!!!!

LimGuda WIP doodles

I wanted to compile my collection of LimGuda doodles mostly from 2021 ~ 2022. They’re rough WIPs, but I wanted to post the ones I still like. I’ll put them under the cut, along with some rambles I have on LimGuda wearing Việt phục, traditional Vietnamese clothes! I’ve been meaning to redraw these sometime in the future.

LimGuda my comfort headcanon NBLNB couple!!! 🥺 💚 🧡  God I love them so much it's unreal. 

Việt phục talk 

I’m planning for Douman and Ritsuka to wear matching Việt phục (“Vietnamese traditional clothing”). The specific type of Việt phục they’re wearing is called áo tấc (“10 cm dress”). It’s also called áo tế (“Ritual/Ceremonial dress”). Tấc is a unit of measurement. In modern times, 1 tấc = 10 cm, and it’s the width of the hem of the dress or bound seam. 

Áo tấc is the historical predecessor to Vietnam's national dress, áo dài (“Long dress”). Áo tấc is also called Áo ngũ thân tay thụng (“Five-panel robe with loose sleeves”). It’s a type of Áo ngũ thân (“Five-panel robe”) with large loose sleeves. Áo tấc was worn by all classes for various occasions. 

I have an art idea of Douman and Ritsuka wearing green and red áo tấc... Red is a colour worn by Vietnamese brides. I usually see Vietnamese brides wear red, pink, or gold, etc., or bright colours at their weddings. Red, blue, green, and pink are common Vietnamese wedding colours! So that’s why I want LimGuda to wear green and green áo tấc.

That reminds me, I've had the idea of LimGuda wearing áo tấc in my head for the longest time and I haven't refined the rest yet because I haven't been able to decide whether I want Douman’s hair in braids or ponytail LOL. These are my ideas for them:

Douman

Green áo tấc with black trousers, hair based off his 1st Ascension design, but styled into braids or a low ponytail. I think I’ll end up going with the braids! I’m also thinking of another version with him wearing black and red áo tấc with black trousers, based off his 3rd Ascension design.

I think for Douman, I'd use the same muted emerald green he wears. Áo tấc are usually simpler in style compared to outfits like áo nhật bình (“Square collared dress”). 

Ritsuka

Red áo tấc with white trousers, maybe a red khăn đóng (turban headpiece), white and red beaded necklaces, and elaborate gold hairpins. As for their hairstyle... maybe I can have their tied back in a bun with some loose strands (the common Vietnamese bride look). Or their hair could just be let down loose.

LimGuda in in Việt phục… wearing my culture’s traditional clothes??? I AM ON THE FLOOR. The Nguyễn dynasty's áo tấc and áo nhật bình make great wedding attire. Red is such a classic colour for traditional wear and weddings to, and Ritsuka would look so kissable in red áo nhật bình~ My wifey wife wife...

I wanna draw them in áo nhật bình eventually, but the patterns on nhật bình are more colourful and detailed, so I'm saving that for another time.  

Extra rambles

Douman has such a good design. Their design is amazing, but it’s so detailed and complex, so I wanted to draw LimGuda in áo tấc so I can have simpler designs to refer back to whenever I want to draw them quickly.

I still have to redraw the áo tấc Ritsuka though, it's an old doodle from 2021, and I improved a lot since then, so it’s outdated compared to my current art style. Somewhere around ~2022, I started using a weighted inky brush instead, and I think it suits my art style more! I love using weighted inky brushes! I've been using it as my sketching/lining brush ever since.

I read an article before that talked about how combinations of green and red in Viet weddings were considered a symbol of courtship and marriage... and romantic with erotic symbolism... Oh my god... LimGuda...

I read a post by @/lotusinjadewell that in Southern Vietnam, Viet brides would wear 2 áo ngũ thân on top of each other, with the outer layer being green, and the inner layer being red. That reminds me of Douman colours...

LimGuda wearing green and red Việt phục (Combusts) I wanted to choose those colours because green and red are also notable wedding colours! Anyways I'd have many more things to say about them, but it'd be an essay, so I just wanted to let people know about my immense love for them!!!

I wanna draw them more, since they’re one of my top favourite ships ever and incredibly important to me, but Douman’s design is the most detailed and complex out of my faves. Still, I'd like to become powerful at drawing them someday. Plus, I wanna give myself simpler outfits to fall back on whenever I don't want to draw their canon outfits (especially Douman's which has too many details)

They give me constant brainrot I think about them every single day. I’ve been down bad for them since December 2020. LIMGUDA

Koga: (……Huh. I didn’t know that the expression I made back then was such a happy one.)

Time: End June Season: Summer Location: Yumenosaki Academy Library

Koga: …………

(Even though I’m not used to the overly silent atmosphere of the library, there’s really been too many annoyin’ things goin’ on lately… some peace and quiet ain’t so bad after all.)

(I heard from Adonis that this exam’s pretty important. I don’t wanna have to retake the exam or anythin’, so I better buckle up and review a li’l.)

(Sigh, turns out sittin’ here studyin’ alone in earnest is actually quite boring~ if there were someone to tutor me or whatever, it would make things a li’l better.)

(It’s such a pity that those guys got their own things to do, so there’s nothin’ I can do but to trudge on on my own. Anyways, when it comes to things like exams… all I need to do is pass, right?)

(Yaaa~wn… All of these densely packed words in the textbook… I can’t help but feel drowsy the more I look at ‘em…)

[An unknown amount of time later]

……

—Aah… achoo!

……? I… I fell asleep? Anzu, were ya the one who woke me up?

Oh, yer lookin’ for some inspiration for some projects, eh? That’s why yer in the library to look for materials from all the previous years’ ‘RepayFes’.

But ‘cause no one’s browsed these yearbooks in a long time, it’s already hella dusty, so ya took a hankerchief to wipe ‘em… no wonder I felt my nose gettin’ kinda itchy and wanted to sneeze.

Since ya hadn’t done it on purpose, there ain’t a need for ya to say sorry or anythin’. Seriously, I really didn’t think I’d waste the whole afternoon fallin’ asleep like this.

Hm? Ya’ve been starin’ at those photos fer quite a long time, is there somethin’ wrong with ‘em? Lemme see—

Hold on, aren’t these the photos of the unit Sakuma-senpai, Shitty Glasses and I had formed?

I thought all those rottin’ old stuff would’ve been thrown out eons ago. Hadn’t expected that they’d be kept here…

Yer askin’ if that Unit’s called ‘DEADMANS’? How did’ya know?

Oh, I remember now. In the previous ‘RepayFes’, Sakuma-senpai n’ the rest of ‘em used the ‘DEADMANS’ name to kick up a big fuss. Didn’tcha run over to produce for them too?

Hmph, so that’s what happened. Whoever’s cleanin’ it up probably saw those two outfits and thought the styles were pretty similar or whatever, then mistakenly grouped ‘em together with those from ‘RepayFes’.

Whatever. ‘m in no mood to continue studyin’ now, so I’ll help ya sort these out.

(……Huh. I didn’t know that the expression I made back then was such a happy one.)

(After the events of ‘RepayFes’, I had thought we UNDEAD had finally managed to communicate our feelings and intentions, and, from that day on, would continue on forever……)

(But after the seniors graduated, the distance between us seemed to only get bigger and bigger; our movements are always clumsy, and we’re unable to cooperate well.)

(Ugh! I don’t even know where the hell did the problem even come from!)

……Hey, Anzu. Could’ya lend me these photos for me ta go develop ‘em? After developin’ I’ll return them to ya.

It’s just that I thought these photos made me look real handsome, and wanted to keep ‘em as a souvenir. Don’tcha think too much ‘bout it, kay?

[The next day, in the Seishou Hall Common Rooms]

Nazuna: Kuro-chin~! You’ve been sitting there in front of the TV with such seriousness, is there a show you wanna watch being broadcasted soon?

Kuro: Oh, it’s you, Nito. I heard from the agency that they’re intendin’ to give us some work relatin’ to variety shows. Since ‘m kinda free today, thought it would be good to watch some relevant programmes to get an idea ‘bout it.

After all, Akatsuki has no experience in workin’ these types of jobs. In order to adapt to the increasingly diverse idol industry, it’s necessary to try and venture into other fields outside of concert and performance.

Especially after joining RhyLink, we Akatsuki have yet to receive any sort of job. That’s why I had thought it would be a good idea for me to use this time to prep.

Nazuna: Haha, with the ever-reliable Kuro-chin around, I’m super sure y’all will be fine!

Ah, right! Speaking of variety shows, I remember Rei-chin and Kaoru-chin recently participated in one, right? We could watch that!

Kuro: Oh, that’s a pretty good suggestion. As idols from the same agency, the variety shows they’ve attended would be better suited fer reference material.

Nazuna: Hm… I didn’t think that both of them would adopt this kinda style for a variety show. It’s completely different from my impression of UNDEAD – being too immoral and all.

Kuro: It’s somethin’ I’ve heard Hasumi bring up before. UNDEAD’s been tryna change their image since Spring; probably ‘cause they’re hopin’ to expand the fanbase and be more flexible when it comes to jobs they take on.

Nazuna: Everyone’s working hard to move forward in the world of idols~ To be honest, Ra*bits is also facing a similar issue… we’re looking to explore other charm points that aren’t just putting up a cutesy act or acting cute.

Hm, back to the topic… Even though this show pokes fun at the guests, because the program is well written and the jokes are appropriately paced, it doesn’t feel like the guests are being made into laughing-stocks at all, which is really good!

Kuro: Yeah. I do feel a li’l more relieved. Seems like veteran agencies have more resources an’ experience when it comes to these things, and have a more developed system for matchin’ idols.

I think RhyLink has dealt with the issue of mismatch between an idol’s style compared to variety shows many times before, so it can match each “unit” to the right job rather easily now.

Though, the most pressin’ problem Akatsuki currently faces is the lack of suitable jobs – which, if yer look at it from another viewpoint, could also be due to the hostility veteran agencies have for newcomers.

Resources were already divided by those that came before, so when it’s finally the newbies’ turn, they’re left with scraps – unpleasant jobs that no one wants. Variety shows like these aren’t something that’ll drop in the palm of yer hands just cause yer wanted them.

Nazuna: Even though that’s true, I still think that Kuro-chin’s pretty suitable for a variety show.

On stage, it’s especially hard to showcase the contrast between Kuro-chin’s appearance and your kind and caring personality, but it’ll definitely be much easier on a recorded program! The more I think about it, the more expectant I become ♪

Kuro: Haha, if ya praise me all of a sudden, I’ll get embarrassed… Come on, let’s go back to watchin’ the variety show. The upcomin’ segment seems to be particularly interestin’.

Nazuna: Pfft… I really hadn’t expected Rei-chin to be so hilarious, I’m ‘bout to cry from laughing so hard~

Koga: (Eh? Did I just hear Sakuma-senpai and Hakaze-senpai’s voices…? I thought they’re outside for a job today, how could they have returned to Seishou Hall so fast?)

…Oh. Huh. Turns out it came from the television.

Nazuna: Koga-chin? Wanna join us? We’re watching some variety shows featuring Rei-chin and Kaoru-chin ♪

Koga: Variety show…?

Hmph, those borin’ shows? What’s so good about them?! What a disappointment. I’m headin’ back to my dorm first.

Nazuna & Kuro: ……?

[kalicocoa]

i love love LOVE ur fic!! i've been wondering if the characters are just wearing their unit outfits as their magical hero outfits or if they're different from canon? (bc i wanna make fanart dhdjdhjc) and if they are different, did u have any idea for what you wanted their hero outfits to look like?

again, absolutely love ur au!! i'm interested to see where it goes from here!!!

OH MY GOSH?? AN OFFER FOR FANART ALREADY??? THAT'S SO FLATTERING, THANK YOU!! Also I LOVE your art style!😭💕

Sooo the answer your question, everyone's outfits are familiar to their Unit Outfits, but slightly different/upgraded in some ways? I'm not much of an artist, so I can't really doodle them as well as I can describe them, but I have them all listed as a type of overall theme! Every Magical Hero team has an aesthetic to match because they're all made for each other!

I'll list the aesthetics I wrote down in my notes:

Leo/need Outfits: School Punk Academy Uniform (Colorful, Plaid, Star Pins), Similar to the Virtual Singers' School SEKAI uniforms, but personalized to their usual outfits.

More More Jump! Outfits: Military Marching Band Idol Aesthetic (White, Color Accented, Clover Pins), Think formal parade wear, with epaulettes and the whole works! That kind of vibe on their usual uniforms.

Vivid BAD SQUAD Outfits: Athletic Street Fashion (Cyberpunk, Light Weight), Sweats and cargos, Pockets and zippers, Kind of like if the the Close Game/OFFLINE outfits but with more vibrant color than mostly black.

Wonderlands x Showtime Outfits: Royal Fantasy Dress (Flashy, Fairytale-esque), Honestly they're closest to their usual unit wear but with more frills and pomp, Aesthetically somewhere between Revolutionary Girl Utena and Cardcaptor Sakura?

Nightcord at 25:00 Outfits: Gothic Lolita Dress (Dark, Edgy, Frilled), Very similar to their usual unit wear but with with more lace and gothic aesthetic, Kind of doll-like in a way but not so much that it gets in the way of battle mobility.

I kinda of wish I could properly get what's on my mind onto a canvas, but it would be hard to get it across just right. Maybe one day I'll edit existing outfits to share them? But for now, all I have is what's written above. 😓

[phantom-julia]

:00 lana and wife duo hero!! sounds awesome

would it be bridal style (like most duo heroes are) or would be themed around their friendship together (like how the baby pegasus fliers are united by their similar like for pegasus knighthood) OR about the two going to an event together (like how lif and thrasir are a duo hero for the spring event), i wanna hear allll about it! hehe -jupi

At first I did want to make it bridal themed! I am a sucker for the idea of Lana wearing a suit- but I don’t think her wife Yumi would look too bad in one!

Though i do like the idea of them going to a masquerade together! Sort of like Duo Sigurd maybe?

Like it would be cute- and with either option I can have Kanade(Lana’s demigirl sibling) Itsuki (Yumi’s brother) and Minato (family friend) as additional units. For a bridal themed event they could be members of the bridal party? Kanade being a bridesmaid and Itsuki and Minato being the groomsmen!

On the other hand it really would be nice to see them all going to a ball- plus it does fit nicely with some of the regal outfits I have drawn for them in the past.

If you can’t tell I’m typing this as I go- just bear with me here.

Just the lil scrunklys dancing the night away without a care in the world after all the shit they’ve been through. Genuinely having fun and enjoying the time they spend together!

The names I’ve come up with so far are as follows:

Darling duo: Lana

Starstruck Suitor: Itsuki

Starlight sweetheart: Kanade

Dashing young soul: Minato

Chaotic Darling: Kaede

As for a tempest trial unit- Im bringing back one that’s canonically dead. I know most of the time dead people are reserved for the day of devotion but- its Kaede. I don’t think she would be all too thrilled to be hanging around just for Valentine’s Day.

Seungcheol

this gif is random, i just think cheolie looks hot with red hair and tatts

I don’t think he has a specific type, but he’s left stuttering and blushing when he first meets you because your uniqueness is extremely attractive

your style is like a magnet for his fascination, and he’d love for you to tell him all about it (he’d even ask for fashion advice from you)

he’s a great listener so he’d just sit there for hours and watch you put together different outfits or hear you rambling about your day as he helps you dye your hair

I think most people wouldn’t expect him to be with an alt person, but he doesn’t care about what other people think, he loves you just the way you are

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

oh honey, you are RIGHT up his alley with your style (I think he enjoys alt music himself)

Wonwoo

let’s you put black nail polish on his nails and wears your jewlery

is super into tattoos and piercings and will want to come with you the next time you get one just to witness the process of art being created on your body

half his gallery is full of pictures he took of you; sets you as all of his backgrounds

doesn’t really know why, but your style makes him feel safe and at home

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

thinks you’re very hot but you will literally have to tell him straight forward that you wanna go out with him, because he does not think you’d be attracted to him

Mingyu

buys a fake nose ring just to impress you and make you think he’s edgy (actually has no idea what edgy, alt and all of those words even mean; you can probably find them in his google search history)

will go to any concert with you and even pay or the tickets, even if it’s not his style of music, but he just wants to see you happy and enjoy the moment and connect with you through your interests

buys lots of black clothes for you to steal (he loves to see you wear his shirts and hoodies)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

honestly doesn’t care what you look like as long as you have a nice personality, but that doesn’t mean he’s not attentive to your style (gives you lots of little compliments like “I like the colour of your shoelaces”)

Vernon

I think he’d vibe well with an alt person, because they tend to be more introverted, like him

likes when you buy him shirts that fit your style and he’ll start wearing them every day (thinks it’s cute when you two match)

writes alt songs for you and gets really excited when you listen to them and like them, he’ll have this huge grin on his face and laugh happily

ashe fashion fun dress pretty wonderful amazing perfect gorgeous beautiful?

wow!!!!!!!!! i never expected this from you guy0509 you never talk about ashe (also contains some spoilers probably)

ashe's style is a little confusing to me but i will try my best to pinpoint it 🤔

his regular outfit being a changshan makes me think he'd wear chinese clothing (or clothing with chinese elements like the mandarin collar)

here is his regular outfit

the colors stand out to me a lot because that sort of blue/green/tealish color thats like muted and darker is a color he wears a lot and i actually have seen some chinese clothing that's specifically this color, it's probably because it matches his hair though

this image is super low quality BUT the colors are a little similar to ashe's outfit so i think that's cool!! but yeah the color's not super common (most chinese clothing i see is either red or a deep blue) but it's not super rare either i think (take my opinion with a grain of salt because i'm not super connected with chinese culture but yeah i am half chinese)

also his bow color matches the accent color on the changshan so to me that makes his color palette very consistent!! however regarding other elements i'm not super sure BUT the mandarin collar on the changshan along with other art makes me think he likes to keep his neck covered a little?

for example in this picture the collar of the shirt is really high but also this picture confuses me a little because the colors don't go with what ashe normally wears since it's a really light shade of blue.. but this is probably more of a casual outfit

but i wanna circle back to the chinese fashion thing a part of me wonders why ashe likes chinese fashion specifically so much considering he's supposed to be a traveler?? like there are a lot of other cultures he could pull from

it might be the neck thing or something like that because mandarin collars do typically cover up your neck and he's also wearing a black turtleneck under his regular outfit (which also covers his neck) or it could be another thing that hasn't been revealed about his character yet like maybe he's been to china a lot or something.. i'm not sure

another idea why he might be so drawn to chinese culture is because it's more community-oriented than culture in the west?? it's difficult to explain but like in the us people consider themselves more independent from their family while in china (and in a lot of the east overall i'm pretty sure) it's more like you're just a member of the unit of your family and ashe is pretty big on family so it would make sense to me but this is a style analysis not a character analysis so

also i believe this is a cheongsam (i'm like 90% sure) and it looks very nice on him and even though the picture is sort of black and white you can tell the color of it is sort of faded and dark so i'm just going to assume it's similar to the color of his changshan that he wears for his regular outfit

anyways here is his outfit in the past and he seems to like popped collars (another ashe and noel parallel??? /j) so along with the mandarin collar he might like to wear a lot of interesting collar shapes

also he seems to like deeper shades of colors rather than lighter ones because he's still wearing a deep color here it's just regular blue instead of teal but also it might just be his school uniform i don't remember much about his backstory

AND ALSO i wanna bring attention to the bows they are so cute!! but in his past he seems to only wear black bows while in the present he normally wears a bright lime greenish bow which i think is interesting and it's probably because of the way his personality shifted due to his backstory and all i think he changed his bow color to be a brighter color to seem more like a cheerful and friendly person maybe? like to give off the type of energy he wished he had in order to prevent what happened

speaking of the bows i have to talk about this because even though this is in the present his bow is black!! and hes a doctor!! this just makes me a little sad because when he was younger he wanted to be a doctor and this outfit is obviously like... i dont know how to describe it maybe like a "what if" scenario for him if that never happened to his family?? but the thing is HE DIDNT EVEN PICK THIS OUT THE PHOTOBOOTH DEMON GUY DID SO HE DIDNT EVEN DO THIS ON PURPOSE this mustve made him feel sad inside

and also the popped collar returns along with colors that are not bright at all so ❗ consistency

theres also the school au (?) outfit which is similar to what he wore in the past but it's more consistent with his current color tastes (the faded blue/green/teal thing) and he's wearing his bright colored bow

this is also very similar to noel's regular outfit with the popped collar and button up jacket which is interesting

i'm pretty sure this is his bonus stage outfit you can't really see much of the details 😢 but again the colors are consistent!! its just more greenish but that makes sense since that's his theme color and iz probably wanted to emphasize that

i'm pretty sure this is his halloween outfit (?) so again the colors and the popped collar!! his bow is interesting to me because it's more of a darker color and not the one he usually wears but it does match with his outfit so that's probably why

speaking of his outfit i think the accent is pretty much the same color as the accent on his changshan so he definitely likes that color a lot too but more as a secondary color rather than the color of one of his garments

i think it's interesting that he's wearing a big bow with a blue rose it makes me think of noel and claire 🧐 it's probably just a coincidence because the blue does go with his outfit but still green and blue are definitely his colors

the gems on his accessories makes me think that maybe he'd like to attach jewels onto like his hair bow or something like that??

this isn't one of his like main outfits but i think he looks a little cute.. also it's interesting that he still chose to wear that jacket when it's clearly hot outside at this time (and i think they're going swimming??) so going along with the neck thing too he probably prefers to bring something so he can cover up where he can maybe??

also i forgot to mention this earlier but i think he likes sleeves that are a little bigger and longer than his arm (it's very prominent in his regular outfit but in other outfits too) and also he likes little cuffs at the ends of his sleeves

a little muddled but overall here is how i would style ashe:

definitely a lot of that blue/green/teal color, it matches his hair and also he wears it all the time

that gold/lime-ish color as an accent color

clothes with cool collars like the popped collars and also like mandarin collars + big, long sleeves with cool cuffs at the ends

some chinese clothes like the cheongsam.. and maybe a little paper umbrella to go with it

turtleneck sweaters and button up cardigans/jackets when it's cold

LOTS AND LOTS of bows!! especially bright colored ones and maybe throw a few black ones in there just in case

perhaps some cute little gems to attach to his bows or something like that?

Is it cheating to submit a fic request for the pride post you just made? I neeeed the whole thing (I'm on my laptop, but insert the big gay eyes emoji)

fjskdgjslg "big gay eyes emoji" you know what? just for you. just for you i have written this. i'll clean it up and upload to ao3 later but for now: have 2.7k of len dragging a sunburnt, tipsy, and glitter-covered barry back to his apartment, and happy pride!

Len wasn’t the type to begrudge anyone a good time, especially when the good time involved loud music, leather harnesses, and throwing water bottles at cops. Central City’s annual pride parade came as close as it got to challenging that attitude; families, fellow queers, and queens descended on the city waving more flags than the United Nations after a hurricane, all decked out in color combinations that Len hadn’t been able to keep straight since the ‘80s. 

The end result was the kind of crowds that could make a grown man feel claustrophobic in the middle of a city block, and that was without the visible haze of alcohol wafting off the whole event. 

But what the parade lacked in personal space, it made up for with one very important commodity: unattended wallets. 

The flock of sunburnt twinks in denim cut-offs made Len’s job almost too easy—a hand on a sweat-slicked lower back, a flash of blue eyes, and most of them wouldn’t have noticed their wallets going missing if Len had dangled their IDs in front of their faces afterwards. (While there were plenty of women dressed in just as little clothing whom Len certainly wouldn’t have minded getting within robbing distance of, he’d found queer women as a group to be less enthusiastic about uninvited touching and more enthusiastic about wallet chains, even when three sheets to the wind off of canned rosé.)   

He’d taught a dozen visiting suburbanites the importance of not keeping valuables in their back pockets by the time he spotted a familiar profile in the crowd. 

His usual red getup wasn’t much more modest than some of the outfits Len had already seen, but even knowing the shape of that body didn’t prepare Len for seeing Barry Allen stripped to the waist, bright-eyed and flushed and shimmering all over with a fine dusting of glitter. Len noted, on auto-pilot, that it didn’t seem like he’d put any of the glitter there himself; he was standing dangerously close to a drag queen throwing handfuls of the stuff on anyone who got within arm’s reach of her. It set the sun refracting off every dip and plane of muscle across Barry’s chest and stomach. Barry’s hair, already wild and dark at the roots with sweat, was full of it.   

Len’s feet were carrying him closer before he gave himself permission to move. Barry managed to drag Len into his orbit at the best of times; visibly tipsy and dripping sweat, Len would’ve had better luck resisting the turning of the earth. 

Up close, Len could take that Barry had lost his shirt somewhat recently; the slight touch of pink spanning his shoulders and chest had nothing on the serious flush across his cheekbones and the bridge of his nose. He had a spray of new freckles as well. They were barely distinguishable under the haze of glitter stuck to his skin, but Len noticed them at once, the change unmistakable on an otherwise unchanging face (not a scar to be seen, even after three years of running into burning buildings and jumping in front of bullets; Len was equal parts frustrated and relieved).   

It looked like someone had painted a few strokes of color across one of his cheeks at some point, but it was smudged to hell and back. The back of one of Barry’s hands was stained a tell-tale matching purple, and Len could only guess at what it had been at the start of the day. 

He stepped into Barry’s space as easily as he had the rest, taking care to keep Barry between him and the source of the glitter, and hesitated for the briefest moment with his hand above Barry’s spine. He’d never touched Barry like this, skin to skin; the gloves had never come off between them, metaphorically or literally. Kept things neat. 

Nothing about Barry was neat right now. He turned even before Len touched him, and the movement brought Len’s hand into contact with his side instead. It took everything in Len not to pull it back in a flinch, and he met Barry’s curious glance with a tightly-controlled smirk. 

He’d expected Barry to step back, maybe add a bit of blush to those already-pink cheeks. Instead, Barry’s eyes took a belated second to focus, and then he gave Len a face-splitting grin. 

“Snart!” 

That time, Len did have to pull backwards to avoid Barry dragging him in for a hug. To think he’d been concerned about a hand. 

Barry didn’t seem the least bit put out, smiling loose and easy like Len hadn’t iced him to the door of a bank vault the last time they’d seen each other. He hadn’t taken Barry for such a cheerful drunk—he seemed inclined toward melodrama on a good day—but Len would take it over any of the alternatives. 

“Barry. Fancy seeing you here. And so much of you, at that.” He let his gaze slide down his bare chest and stomach, pulse ticking up at the warm brown of his nipples and the sharp vee of his hipbones that invited his gaze further down. 

“You’re overdressed,” Barry disagreed. He wasn’t quite slurring, but there was a careful deliberation in his tone that told Len it was a near thing. He took a step closer and peered at Len, suspicion evident in those pale green eyes.   “And… sober.”

“I’m not here to score. Perks include keeping my shirt on.” 

For the briefest second, Barry looked almost disappointed. But it was gone in a blink, confusion taking over. He glanced down at himself, puzzled. Then his expression cleared, and he looked up with another easy-going smile.  “I got hot.” His gaze dropped again, to Len this time, and he licked his lips. “Aren’t you… you gotta be hot in all that.” 

Len was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and thin jacket, and it hadn’t hit eighty degrees all week. But he wasn’t in the mood to argue with drunk logic. And besides, another scan of the nearby revelers had made something unpleasant begin to scratch insistently at the inside of Len’s chest, and he tapped Barry under the chin with one knuckle to bring his attention back up. 

The contact startled both of them—Len’s control had slipped, something he could not afford to happen around Barry Allen—but Len recovered first. “Where’s the rest of your team of do-gooders?” 

“Lost ‘em.” Judging by the return of Barry’s crooked grin, it was an accomplishment, not a concern. “Cisco said the shot was too strong, but I didn’t wanna go. He’s the d…” He faltered, brows pulling together as he frowned. “S’the designed. Designinated, superhero, anyway. Shh!” 

He shot a pointer finger toward Len in a movement that Len clocked, alarmingly, as intending to be pressed to his lips, as if he were the one who’d been chatting about Vibe’s secret identity. Len had three years of dealing with the Flash to thank for being able to catch Barry’s wrist in time to stop him, and he glared at him for the attempt. 

But Barry only gave him a crinkle-eyed smile and twisted his hand in Len’s grip to clasp his wrist back. “S’so good to see you here. I didn’t think…” 

“Don’t tell me you had me pegged for straight.” 

Barry made a frankly insulting noise halfway between a scoff and a hiccup and tilted Len a condescending look. 

“Speedster, remember?” he asked, far too loudly, even for a crowd currently screaming along to a pop song that’d been bad enough the first time Len’d heard it in 2000. “I see it when you...” He let go of Len’s wrist to make a gesture with two fingers, parting them in a V and sweeping them up and down Len’s body, the muscles in his forearm shifting distractingly under Len’s hand. God, the kid had to be a hundred degrees. “When you check me out. In the suit.” 

Len smirked. “It’s cute you thought I was being subtle.” 

“You’re cute,” Barry muttered, childish and sulky, and Len took it for the compliment it wasn’t. 

“You had a point, Barry.” 

Barry still looked displeased with him, but his brow was furrowed again when he met his gaze. This close, it was impossible to ignore that Barry had an inch or so on him. “About what?” 

“You didn’t think…?” Len prompted him. 

Barry stared at him blankly, and Len rolled his eyes and let go of his wrist. 

“Get out of the sun, Barry,” he said. “Find a park bench. Wait for your little friends to come find you. Shouldn’t be hard—you’re as red as your suit.” 

Barry either ignored his last comment or didn’t hear it. “Iris is here somewhere,” he said, possibly to himself. “She’s…” He twirled his finger absently beside his head. “Curly, today. And… bikini.” 

Len strongly considered abandoning Barry to his sunburn to go find out for himself. But Barry was beginning to sway a bit, and a man closer to Len’s age than Barry’s was giving Barry’s toned back a speculative look from a few feet away, and Len gave in to the unsettled feeling gnawing at his ribcage. He refused to call it worry. It was annoyance—or, at the very least, the feeling was annoying him, which was close enough.   

“As much a sight for sore eyes as that would be,” he said, allowing a magnanimousness he didn’t feel to color his tone, “I doubt Miss West ran away from her group and got heatstroke. Unlike some people” 

Barry didn’t look the least bit chastened, lips curving up mischievously in a way that drew another couple interested looks. Len needed to get them both out of the crowd before he started breaking noses.

“Tell you what. Give Cisco a call, tell him you went home. My bike’s on Kingsbridge, away from the parade route.” 

Barry’s smirk sharpened. “Trying to get me out of here, Snart? I thought you weren’t here to score.” 

Len gave him a flat look, ignoring the decidedly interested way his body was reacting to Barry’s tone. 

“You can barely stand.” 

Barry’s eyes glittered at the challenge, and Len realized his mistake. 

“Barry—” 

He hadn’t even finished biting out the second syllable when the world spun out from under him, the noise and the heat and the press of the crowd swallowed up in a hair-raising charge of yellow lightning. Exactly two and a half seconds passed in a blur of movement, just long enough for Len to realize Barry was supporting the back of his head with one too-warm hand. Then the world came skidding to a stop around them. Barry’s momentum carried them both forward several feet even after their new surroundings materialized, and they very nearly went straight through a window again before Barry seemed to remember how to stop. 

Len considered pushing him out the window anyway for the stunt. True, he’d been itching to get another taste of that feeling, the ozone snap-drag of Barry’s power like a live wire under his hands, but he’d rather have waited until Barry could pass a breathalizer. 

He realized Barry still had an arm around him and shoved him off. It did nothing to dim Barry’s self-satisfied grin, and Len had to look away or risk giving into the interested once-over Barry was skimming over his body again. 

“Pretty sure the point of a designated driver is not doing that.” 

Barry followed him when he took a step back. Len made a calculated decision, decided the risk of touching Barry again was worth it, and pressed his fingers to the middle of Barry’s chest—right where the Flash insignia would be on his suit, his brain offered unhelpfully—and pushed him backwards, hard. 

Barry unbalanced and wheeled back a step. Then the backs of his knees hit the edge of the couch, and he toppled, satisfyingly, back onto the dark leather cushions. 

It was a nice couch. The whole apartment was nice, actually. Len could’ve drawn a perimeter of possible locations based on Barry’s speed and how long it had taken them to reach it if he hadn’t already known the address. 

“Sit,” he said. And then, with a smirk: “Stay.” 

Barry rolled his eyes. “Gonna have to ask nicer than that if you wanna boss me around in bed.”

The way he threw it out there, easy as anything, almost made Len miss a step as he turned away. He wasn’t going to lay a hand on Barry, not when he was drunk on sunlight and skin and whatever concoction Cisco had apparently cooked up for him. But hearing him say it, like they’d already gotten all of the messy parts out of the way—it set off warning bells in Len’s head, flashing past all the possible off-ramps he would’ve taken if Barry had ever tried to have the conversation in a more linear fashion. 

“You’re drunk,” Len said, which was a coward’s answer, and behind him, Barry made a vague noise of agreement. 

“Probably,” he acknowledged. “You could stick around ‘til I’m not.” 

Christ. Len didn’t trust himself to look at Barry again, not when he knew he’d find him sprawled out and shedding glitter all over what had looked like a very expensive couch. “Stay,” he repeated, and went off to find the kitchen. 

By the time he got back with two glasses of water, the problem had solved itself; Barry was out cold on the couch, his painting cheek pressed to the throw pillow he’d curled himself half-around. He was shivering faintly in the air conditioning, all cooled sweat and goosebumps, and Len resigned himself to the now-familiar impulse to help him that stirred in his chest. He put one of the glasses down on the table and, not trusting his hands, knocked his knee into one of Barry’s where it was bent close to the edge of the couch. 

Barry buried his face into the pillow with a noise of displeasure, and Len said his name again. 

“Last warning,” Len said. “Ten seconds, you find out if I put on steel-toed boots today.” 

Barry groaned, and if the sound hadn’t made Len’s pulse skip, the easy shift of muscles in Barry’s arm as he pushed himself up to sitting again would’ve done the trick. 

“Water,” Len said, unnecessarily, as he passed him the glass. 

Barry took it with the tips of his fingers, as if it were something personally offensive to him, and took a single, polite sip before putting it down beside the other with no small amount of distaste. Then he glanced between the glasses, and up at Len, a dirty spark already lighting behind his eyes again. 

“Don’t get your hopes up. They’re both for you.” 

Barry let out a breath with audible annoyance and dropped back against the couch cushions to glare at him. 

Len felt a modicum of sanity return to him. This, at least, was familiar ground: Barry, frustrated, asking for too much, too soon. True, it had always been about the hero business until now, but Len knew a pattern when he saw one. Give Barry an inch, and he always took a mile. 

Len gave Barry one last, appraising look. He looked ridiculous, all self-righteousness and bare skin. There was only one break in the otherwise even coat of glitter, there on Barry’s side: faint, but unmistakable, the outline of Len’s hand on his waist. The feeling in Len’s chest coalesced into something pleased and possessive. He met Barry’s glare with a slow curl of his lips, then gave him an inch.  

“Call me when you’re sober, Barry,” he said, letting his voice slip into the Cold drawl just to watch Barry’s eyes go dark. “And you can show me how well you sit up and beg.” 

He could see the impatience radiating off of Barry’s frame, the effort it was taking him to stay on the couch instead of closing the space between them. 

“Call your friends,” he reminded him. “Enough people got a look at your face today without the CCPD splashing it on every milk carton, too.”

In the elevator, Len reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out the thin black wallet he’d liberated from Barry during their sprint across the city. Two and a half seconds: child’s play. A little extra incentive for Barry to track him down in the morning, not that Len thought he needed it. He flipped it open, noted the deer-in-the-headlights picture of Barry on his driver’s license with amusement, and then thumbed open the bill compartment. 

Len smirked. Barry wouldn’t miss a few dollars; he owed him for the dry-cleaning it was gonna take to get the glitter out of his jacket, anyway.

PREVIOUS - CHAPTER SEVEN - NEXT

Bruce motherfucking Wayne. You couldn't believe it. You pondered why he was at the Black Gold Cooperative Christmas gala— perhaps he was a friend of Maxwell's? They were, on the surface, very alike; both hailing from wealthy families and CEO’s of the most prestigious international conglomerates. You sipped on your bubbling champagne and laughed as he cracked a joke with you.

You had completely lost track of time. The music was loud and the ballroom was bustling with people of high importance. Everyone looked marvellous in their designer outfits and styled hair. You hadn't even seen Maxwell, that was until you hear him tap a glass, raising the attention of everyone including you and Bruce. The room fell obscenely quiet.

Maxwell was… nervous. He was good at being on television, but live speeches in front of all these important business associates, his mother and the president? That was terrifying. His eyes scanned the room for you. When his gaze finally landed on you, you shot him a warm and encouraging smile and he felt a gush of relief wash over his tensed up body.

"Hello everyone, I'd like to thank you all for joining me this evening. Firstly I'd like to thank the president for letting me use his beautiful home as a function," Maxwell spoke into the mic, his words earning an applause. "It has been a pleasure to meet you, sir. I wish you all the best for your presidency." you knew how much Max disagreed with the president and practically cringed at the fauxness of his tone. Maxwell spoke for a long while about the past year, the highs and the lows of his company and what Black Gold Cooperative had been through. Rubbing your eyes, you let out a shaky yawn.

"Hey?" Bruce whispered, putting his champagne glass on the bar. "Wanna get out of here?"

You were taken aback by his proposal. What exactly was he suggesting? Bruce Wayne was, by far, one of the more handsome men in the room. And he certainly seemed nice. He hadn't given the staff attitude (unlike Maxwell, who was rude to everyone he saw lesser than him), and he had been nothing but kind to you.

"I-" you sighed, glancing between Maxwell who was on the stage, and Bruce who was by your side. "I really shouldn't." you rejected him, and Bruce nodded sadly.

"No worries," he replied, taking a sip of his champagne.

"What do you think of him?" you asked, out of the blue. Your eyes were heavy as you drank in Maxwell's appearance. There was just something so fascinating about him. He wasn't your type but from the moment you met him you were so compelled to him.

"Who?" Bruce responded, cocking a curious dark eyebrow.

"Maxwell Lord." you pursed your lips into a thin line. He was charismatic, the coverboy of Forbes, a household name. He was Maxwell Lord.

"I think it's a shame, what happened to him when he was a kid," Bruce shook his head and your head snapped to face him. "But, the man has built his career and fortune on lies and greed. He thinks he's some kind of hero but really he's just… a lonely, broken little boy."

You were about to ask Bruce what he meant, what happened to Maxwell when he was a kid, when a thunderous applause erupted in the room and Maxwell padded off the stage. "I should go see him. But it was lovely talking to you." you smiled at Bruce. You leaned in, brushing your lips over his cheek. He smelled delicious. Another man drenched in expensive cologne, no doubt, but nevertheless you were sad to leave him.

You made your way past through the crowds of people in the ballroom, trying to peer over hundreds of heads in-attempt to find Maxwell. You just about made out his dark blonde head of hair talking to the president. You hurried over, holding your gown in your hands, careful not to trip over.

"Hey!" you gasped, placing your hands on Maxwell's back. The suit was soft in your hands, you didn't want to let go off him.

"Hi," Maxwell smiled, his eyes gleaming now that he had finally found you. "Uh, I'd like to introduce you to the president of the United States."

"The pres-" your jaw dropped as you shook hands with President Reagan.

"She's quite the gem," the president nodded, his hand stroking your arm. The contact was more than enough to make you uncomfortable.

"Yeah but, we're just friends." Maxwell insisted and you felt your heart sink a little. It was exactly what you had told the press, but hearing it from him was devastating.

"That's good then. Because I'd like to introduce you to my daughter Margaret." the president beamed, taking the hand of his daughter and thrusting her into Maxwell. She fell into her chest and he caught her just in time, albeit stumbling backwards.

She had tight blonde curls and pink glossy lips, her pearl earrings bringing out the blue in her ice cold eyes. "Oh, hi Mr Lord," she purred affectionately. You scrunched up your nose in disdain as he gently pushed her off him.

"Pleasure to meet you Margaret," Maxwell smiled, shaking her hand.

"Please, call me Maggie," she replied, not breaking eye contact once.

"Right Maggie…" Maxwell laughed awkwardly and you took a step back, scowling.

The burning feeling of jealousy rinsed through your body. This was outrageous— you had no reason to be jealous. Yours and Maxwell's relationship was strictly business only. But it didn't mean you had to enjoy seeing that woman leaning into his chest, his arms wrapped around her.

It seemed that everyday you grew more and more angered and confused by your feelings. It must've just been something in the December air.

"I'll be at the bar," you mumbled as Maxwell and Margaret continued to chat.

You sighed, walking back over to Bruce with a frown.

"Everything okay?" Bruce asked, concern dripping from his tongue. You didn't reply, shaking your head sadly and staring into the oak wood bar like it was going to give you answers. "Two glasses of your finest house wine, please." Bruce called over the bartender before turning back to you.

"Trying to get me drunk, Wayne?" you rolled your eyes.

"I'd never," Bruce replied, placing a hand on the small of your back. "I just know we're both going to need plenty of alcohol to get through this evening."

"Touché." you agreed, taking a swing of your drink and shuddering at the strong taste.

"Where do you hail from?" Bruce asked, tucking a strand of your hair behind your ear. "Never seen you around before. And trust me, I'd recognise someone as beautiful as you."

"I-" you felt yourself blush under his touch, and subconsciously lean into his hand, biting your lip. Just then, you spotted him. The man of the night. Maxwell Lord barked your name, anger crossing his dark brown eyes. "What is it?" you sighed, taking another sip of wine.

"I didn't know you'd be here." Maxwell snarled at Bruce, grabbing your hand and interlocking his fingers with yours. His action was rough and harsh but you felt butterflies just from his touch and his possessive nature.

"My father would've wanted me to be here," Bruce smiled. "When your mother invited me, how could I refuse? I think your father would've wanted me here too. Don't worry, I've placed a donation…"

Maxwell dug his finger in Bruce's chest. "You don't know shit about what my father would want."

You were confused, making quick glances between the two men who were, quite frankly acting like little boys. "And you do?" Bruce chuckled. "Your father is the reason for your success. He built his business on hope with the aim of helping those less fortunate than him. And what did you do? You turned it into an abomination… all his hard work, gone. Because you're greedy."

"Bruce!" you gasped, speechless at the businessman's cold words. You turned to Maxwell with pleading eyes. "Max… maybe we should leave." you placed a hand on his shoulder but his glare didn't tear from Bruce. You had never seen so much hate in his eyes.

"No," Maxwell breathed eventually. He couldn't even bring himself to look at you, his gaze finding the floor as he shuffled his feet sadly. "You can stay. I'm leaving." Maxwell murmured.

"Max I'm coming with you," you began to protest.

"No." Maxwell repeated, this time his voice was more stern. "I'm going home with Maggie. You're clearly more comfortable here, with Bruce. Wouldn't want to spoil your evening."

"Max?" you whispered as tears pricked your eyes.

"Good night." he said finally, before walking away with his head held high.

"What a man." Bruce tsked.

You turned to him, blindsighted by rage and picked up your wine glass from the bar. You didn't know how to react, you didn't know what to say. You were left so bewildered by the dialogue between Maxwell and Bruce. All you knew was that you had never seen Maxwell so hurt in his life. And that did not sit well with you at all. You threw the remenints of your wine all over Bruce, drenching him in the expensive liquid.

"You're a real jerk." you spat. The music stopped and everyone turned to face you. "I don't know what is going on with you and Max, but stay away from him." you gritted before storming off.

You tried to locate Margaret, spotting her by the Christmas tree as she overlooked the dancers. "Hey, Maggie?" you asked.

"Oh it's you," she spat, looking you up and down. "My name is Margaret."

You wished you had kept a little wine to throw over her. "I don't care," you shook your head. "Have you seen Max? Has he spoken to you in the last few minutes?"

"No? Why?" Margaret asked, furrowing her eyebrows.

"Shit okay, nevermind." you replied, spinning around on your heel.

You raced to the lobby, asking a member of staff to call you a cab. She gave you a judgemental look but followed your instruction none the less. Letting you know when your can had arrived outside, you raced out into the thick snow. Low and behold, the paparazzi were still there, snapping photos of you as you ran to the taxi. They screamed your name, asking questions about why you weren't with Max and why you were taking a taxi home. You ignored them, pushing past them furiously until you reached the yellow cab and slid inside. Your gown got caught in the door but you didn't care. You needed to see Max. You needed to make sure he was okay. Your heart ached knowing he was upset.

You arrived to his penthouse in your ripped gala dress and messy hair, still running to the reach the elevator. When you got to his penthouses the warmth and familiarity relieved you.

You closed the front door gently behind you and tip-toed to Maxwell's office. Before you could open the door and let yourself in, you heard gentle sobbing. It was quiet and there was the occasional pause before a sniff and a cry. You leaned against the wall, trying to process what you were hearing. Maxwell Lord IV was in his office, crying. You felt a pang of pain in your chest. Maxwell Lord doesn't cry— and yet here he was. You suddenly felt defensive and you wanted to know what had happened. You decided you could push your argument to one side. You slowly opened the door and stepped inside.

Maxwell was sat at his desk with a half drunk bottle of whiskey. His sleeves were rolled up to his elbows and his shirt had the top three buttons undone. His fingers were laced in his dark blonde hair and you noticed he was tugging on it out of frustration. He hadn't noticed you standing there yet. You took a deep breath.

"Max?"

You watched him stiffen up and wipe his eyes. He didn't turn to look at you— he didn't need to. Instead, his gaze burned into the amber coloured scotch in the crystal glass. He felt ashamed. Embarrassed. He didn't say a word. Cautiously, you approached him, with slow and light footsteps. As you neared him you noticed his eyes were sore and red and you wondered how long he had been crying for. You crouched down to his level and gently pressed your hand into his back, rubbing comforting circles.

Maxwell gulped as you touched him, but still didn't say a word. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth he'd croak something ridiculous out or just as easy burst into tears. He knew it. You were there for him, as always. You had come back for him. His guardian angel— the only person who truly cared about him.

You cupped his cheek and turned his head to face you. He did so, willingly, his glossy brown eyes gazing into yours. "What happened, Max?" you whispered, your fingers gently tracing his golden tear stained cheeks. Max stayed silent and tried his best to suppress another sob. "Was it Bruce?" you whispered again, and leaned into him, resting your head in his lap.

Maxwell dropped his hands into your hair and your eyes fluttered shut under his gentle touch as he softly stroked you. "It's so much more." Maxwell admitted, his voice breaking slightly. "Bruce's words tipped me over the edge. This time of the year is already so hard and my mother… at the gala…."

"What did she do, Max?" you stood up from the floor and pulled a chair up so you could sit next to him.

"She always puts these ideas in my head," Maxwell admitted. "Fuck- I should know better. My whole life she's tried controlling me. And I know it's wrong but I still let her get in my head."

"What ideas?"

"It's always been about my father. Didn't want me to make the same mistakes he made. So she'd do everything in her power to ensure that, no matter what, I put the business first. She tells me it's my legacy. That I must finish what my father started. And my grandfather. And if I don't- if I don't, then I've failed them."

"Your father… Bruce mentioned him." your voice was quiet and you didn't know whether or not you were overstepping by bringing it up.

"Did he tell you what happened?" Maxwell asked you and you shook your head. "Because it's not public information. Bruce only knows because his family… his parents helped my mother cover it up."

"Cover what up?" you asked, almost afraid of how he was going to answer.

"The suicide." Maxwell deadpanned, looking at you with glossy eyes.

"Your father?" you were speechless, your heart breaking at his words.

"Yeah." Maxwell replied. "I was sixteen."

"Why?"

"I don't know… he. He never left a note." Maxwell crossed his arms over his chest. "I- I'm sorry. I've never spoken about this before. My mother chose to cover up the suicide because she said it would bring shame on the business."

"Shame? But it's- it's not shameful. It's…" you were really struggling to find words, all you could do was console Maxwell, as your friend if nothing more. "Your mother does not get to choose your legacy." You told Maxwell, taking his hands and squeezing them gently. "This is your life Max. Don't let her control it."

"I freaked out on you at the gala because my mother came and she told me that I should leave you-" Maxwell paused before correcting himself. "Fire you. I mean. I don't know. She told me that the weakness in my father was his love for his family, and his love for her, and his love for me. She told me my grandfather was the same and now- she sees that weakness in me. She blames you. Says I've been different since we began our arrangement," Maxwell scoffed. "She says you distract me. I didn't realise it at first. But I think she's right." Maxwell looked up at you, teary eyed. "She thinks if I marry Margaret sales will boost and… once again she's right."

You felt yourself freeze up. "Max…" you whispered, not knowing what to say or how to even process his words. Was he about to terminate the contract? Was he going to tell you to walk away and leave?

"I can't-" Maxwell choked out a sob. " I can't let her keep controlling me. After seeing you with Bruce, I was so fucking afraid of losing you for good and it was all her fault. I won't choose between you and the company. And she can't make me choose. But you know, if I had to? Fuck. I'd choose you."

"Maxwell don't be ridiculous," You shook your head sadly. He'd had a lot to drink. He was emotional. He couldn't be meaning these words. "You're an amazing CEO, look at the greatness that you've led Black Gold Cooperative to. Front page of Forbes three years in a row. No business in history has earned as much as yours in profit. You've done this by yourself. Sure your ancestors founded Black Gold, but Max, you've been working your ass off since you were sixteen."

"I don't want to hear it," Maxwell cut you off and took another sip of his whiskey. "I just want to make my father proud. I loved him so much." he sniffed.

"Your mother said that your father's love for his family was his weakness. But I believe that it was his strength. That warmth in his heart he passed down to you, and Max, I'm so glad he did. Because I feel it. I feel your compassion. I feel your love. Before we met everyone said you were cold and distant… but you've shown me more care in the past ten days than I've felt in my whole life." You smiled at him and he gazed longingly into your eyes. "In the end, your father cared more about protecting your family than running the risk of exploiting Black Gold Cooperative. He chose love over his business. And for that reason, I know your father would be proud of you because I'm proud of you."

"Nobody has ever told me that they're proud of me."

"They haven't?" You furrowed your brows together and Maxwell shook his head sadly. You wrapped your arms around him and he nuzzled his face into your shoulders.

"You've shown me what love can feel like." Maxwell mumbled into your skin. "Never- never believed in it until I met you."

"Oh Max," you felt a tear slip down your cheek.

Max pulled away from you and cupped his hands around your face. He whispered your name and gently brushed his nose against yours.

"I think," Maxwell swallowed. "No. I know. I know that I've fallen deeply in love with you."

[woahsehun]

heyy babes! i wanted to send in an ask for the shipping with skz & nct (and if you could do it for all units);

• zodiac sign or birthday - 4th April, 00' which makes me an aries

• interests/hobbies - mostly dancing, box, cooking, photography/videography, makeup, sometimes drawing. i love discovering good music and traveling, spontaneous adventures with friends are my fave!

• favorite things (foods, movies, media, music, etc.) - i am veeery passionate about ice cream & sour gummies & coffee, i love watching movies (my fave is LOTR), shows and anime, my current fave manga/anime is jujutsu kaisen (also very passionate about nanami <3), as much as i love going out and having fun, i'm also a homebody - my favourite is when its raining outside and i can just cuddle up and chill.

• least favorite things (^) - i hate slow walkers with a special passion, dishonesty and fake people are my biggest pet peeve, also i hate pickles

• dreams/aspirations - i wish to successfully finish my college and get to help those in need, my ultimate life dream is to open a 100% funded by me huge animal shelter. i'd also love to live in a way that can inspire others to be better (i am very ambitious lol)

• aesthetic/style - i really like lots of different aesthetics, but 75% of the time i'm dressed in a slightly tomboyish fit (obsessed with shoes), tho when going out i like to dress sexy - V cuts are my go to, i do like to experiment with my outfits and stay fashionable.

• ideal type - i like guys that have the bear-like feel (since i'm kinda tall and loove hugs), someone who's genuine but direct, funny, smart, has a certain charm to them, i'm a sucker for big pretty hands and bigger noses?? (idk why), someone easy to talk to, i go off of the first click so it's important to me that the person has a good vibe around them and someone that can take my sarcasm and match the energy - basically i need someone to do stupid shit with me. (but shortly said my best friend says my type is skater boys lol)

• anything else you want to include - my personality type is ENTJ

looking foward to your response. thaankss love! :)

I'M SO SO SO SO SOOO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG </3

I took a break from this account for a bit so I didn't see your ask until now

you seem like such a fun person omg

I do wanna say these explanations might not be super long because of the amount of people, but I really hope that you still enjoy them

alright, it's finally time to get into the ships!

I'm gonna start with nct 127 because when I was reading your ask the first person that actually came to mind out the nct and skz members was johnny! I truly think y'all would be SO good together like ? we already know that johnny is pretty spontaneous and has a lot of interests in common with you already, but he's also so versatile and I think his love of exploring new things is something that would make him a good fit for you. I also don't think he would really care that you were born in 2000. I mean one of his best friends (mark) was born in '99 so if anything he'd probably just be more protective than if you were the same age or older than him.

something about you that I think is more specifically compatible with johnny is your aspirations! as far as I know, johnny loves animals, and in addition to that I think he adores people who have big dreams and are selfless in the way that you seem to be. johnny is an optimist and your desire to help animals, help people, and just overall put more good in the world would be very important to him

I personally can see johnny with anyone no matter their style, but I do think he has a lil soft spot for people who dress a little more casual/masculine. I mean obv he also loves a good red dress or deep v... but u know what I mean. he wants to you feel comfortable in what you're wearing as well as feel comfortable around him, so I think being casually dressed around him might make him feel like you trust him :) also if your skater style matches his that means you can share clothes :)))

lastly, your type is literally johnny. like to a T. - bear like, gives good hugs, genuine, direct, funny, wise, charming, laid back, easy to talk to, good at joking around/sarcasm, good vibe/optimist, tall skater boy with big hands

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

next up is nct dream! (I factored sungchan and shotaro into this section when considering who to ship you with)

for nct dream I think I'm gonna ship you with haechan

it's funny that I'm shipped you with johnny and then haechan bc I feel like they're so different, but I'm still gonna do it ahhshchdjs

first of all, y'all would be chaotic as hell with those gemini and aries suns idc idc. I think one of the most compatible things between you two is your love of activities and longing for adventure. since you're both still really young and haechan is also more extroverted there would probably be endless things to explore together. however, as much of an extrovert as haechan is he is also extremely cuddly, and since he's a # gamer boy I also don't think he'd have a problem with hanging out inside as well on a rainy day

haechan for sure loves animals, but he especially loves things that are cute in general. an animal shelter would definitely be something he would support and spend a lot of time at if he had the option to do so. additionally, haechan is probably one of the most passionate workers I've ever seen, all while being very positive and personable. he knows how it feels to work hard to achieve your goals and he knows how happy achieving those goals can make a person, so I think he's another member that would admire you following your dreams no matter what they are. he works pretty much constantly, so if you're also working hard for long periods of time he would also probably be good at cheering up your mood and would be able to give you advice on how to make sure you don't get burnt out

as far as style, I oddly feel like haechan might think tomboyish fashion is super cute ? like he really seems like the type to say you can borrow his clothes and then proceed to call you cute and tease the hell out of you for wearing his clothes. tis' a vicious cycle

due to haechans general attitude and disposition, he seems like a really easy person to talk to. he's extroverted in the way that he may act a little over the top to not make people uncomfortable, but instead to try and make people realize he is approachable and it's okay to joke around. definitely an mvp in the realm of sarcastic banter, and definitely gives off bear vibes mhm

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

lastly for the nct units is wayv!

this might be surprising idk, but I'm gonna ship you with winwin!

going back to your hobbies and adventurous side, I think winwin would maybe want you to teach him things ya know? if I'm remembering correctly he's said that he's learned a lot over the years and become more outgoing because of his fellow members, so I think he appreciates relationships where he feels that he can explore things comfortably beside someone he trusts.

obviously he has no problem with animals, and as with the other nct members he admires the drive people show when they follow their dreams. the thing I think does differ with winwin though compared to the others, is that it's almost just the logical path in his head? like other than for fear, why would you not aspire to do more/achieve great things? I mean this man has has dance training, become an idol, and is acting more and more, so working hard and having goals seems to me like something that comes somewhat naturally to him

I think winwins favorite thing about you having a tomboy style would be that y'all can match <3 he may not act super mushy under there, but I would bet that this scorpio sun has some soft spots for being a matching couple (in a cool yet casual way)

winwin obviously has natural charm, considering literally everyone in nct and more is in love with him. winwin has that like underlying smooth sense of sarcasm I think, and he says things with such a pretty smiling face that his clap backs can go unnoticed. winwin is indeed smart, but I think his real strength in this area is his true willingness to learn as well

winwin would definitely be down to do dumb shit with you, especially if either of you have been cooped up for days bc of rain or what have you. he remembers his days in quarantine... never again

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

lastly, but certainly not least, is stray kids <3

for some reason, this choice was a bit hard for me, but I think I've settled on shipping you with felix

now that we've gotten to the last ship, I think it's clear that I have unintentionally shipped you with all ☀️ sunshine boys ☀️

felix sould not only love your hobbies, but he would participate in them

some concepts that came to mind: you cooking dinner and him baking for dessert, him teaching you dances or vice versa, him asking you to do his makeup whenever you get a new product/whenever he feels like it, and other things like that. obv felix also loves to cuddle (on any day, but on rainy days especially)

there's so many cute pictures of felix with animals, and I guarantee with an animal shelter you would have a million more. felix is the biggest softy, and his eyes would probably go all sparkly at the sight of animals and at the sight of you achieving your dreams (making myself cry)

no matter what you wear felix would probably be the type to say "ooo you look cute today!" every single day. but when you dress up now that's when the deep voice comes out okay felixxx

here's where I was struggling a bit, because I'm not really sure if he's your type ? but I definitely think he would like you <3

man isn't that tall and doesn't have the biggest hands, but his heart is big and gosh does he make some damn good baked treats mhm

additionally as I was writing this felix one I kind of realized that I might ship you with minho as well! although he may not be the most hyperactive or openly affectionate, he always shows he cares in other ways which I think is a really beautiful trait of his. I also have noted in the past that minho has dragged jisung out to do things with him sometimes, so I wouldn't say he's a 100% homebody either. he knows there's a time for going out snd a time for staying in, and can tell the difference between them well.

you got cats at the animal shelter? cool minho will be there all the time. like I kinda alluded to above, he seems like a really great caregiver to people as well as animals, so I think he would be enthusiastic about helping however he can

I honestly don't think minho cares that much about what you wear as long as you take care of yourself. he probably thinks people look good in most things or is very neutral about it if I'm being honest, so whether or not you have a more tomboy style or not isn't much of a bother to him because he just wants you to be comfortable! also confidence is attractive so if you're feeling good he's feeling good

lee minho is what I would consider a perfect mixture between logical and weird. he has that intelligence and common sense to where he is considered smart, but also is so mf weird, or should I say, logical on another level. for example, when he screams for "no reason", he says his reasoning is that he just felt like it. I mean when u put it like that, I would say that is in a unique way pretty logical, even if a lot of other people might see it as weird. he also definitely has charisma I mean just looking at him I think it's visible. also I have to include that god he has one of the prettiest noses I swear

is it too obvious that I'm in love with minho or was I stealthy enough up until now...

either way I hope you like this and that it was what you hoped for! and once again I'm so sorry it took so long <3

even tho they take a while these ships are really fun, so thank you so much for the ask :) and I hope you have a really great day

[bangchanswolfpelt]

Vetting potential sugar daddies? You need to tell me more about that 👀 And you're going glutenfree !! That's actually much more difficult than, really, it should be--i'm speaking from experience </3

Tbz and sf9 are amazing, i'm wholeheartedly supporting you getting sucked into the bottomless abyss that is their charms :)) and i don't think me praying for you will be able to change that. Any (potential) biases yet?? 👀

And i'm doing good! Although it still feels as if 2022 has just started yesterday, so i don't really have any feelings about it yet lmao. Let's see how this year will turn out, i'm in good spirits, however ✨

-🍒

hahaha, it's honestly just kinda like chatting people up on tinder, except i'm slightly more motivated to entertain actually talking to complete strangers 😂 i made a profile on one of the more ""reputable"" sites, ignored a lot of the messages i've gotten, but i've had a couple guys i'm talking to on-and-off. it's entertaining in the way that tinder or any other kind of online dating is—skimming through what people decide to put in their profiles is always entertaining, and maybe

going gluten free actually isn't as rough as i would've imagined it would be a couple years ago?? but i've also realized that i could just. live on rice and eggs, so that helps a lot 😅 plus, i've heard the lettuce wraps at In-n-Out are actually decent, so that'll be nice when the drive-thru line isn't two miles long. i do miss the hell out of bread, tho 😔

re: The Boyz, i'm still getting to know all of them, but Sunwoo caught the hell out of my attention during Kingdom and is definitely in the lead (see: car wash porn parody promo, Rich Brian cover, getting jealous on vlive, his taste in fucking anime ohmygod i wanna sit this boy down and make him mainline so much anime with me and the fact that i can't actuallly makes me a lil mad forreals) ((he might be my lockscreen rn, but shhhhhhhh, don't tell Eunkwang))

Sangyeon was the other one who caught my eye during kingdom and i'm still pretty 😵‍💫 over him; the vocal parts that make me perk up when they're on always seem to be his, and seeing him complain about his dumbfuck children during mafia was sooooooo good for me—i have a soft spot for tired leaders and it's serving him very well. i'm also growing distinctly fond of Kevin and Jacob, as well, and Q seems like a delightfully evil little genius.

as for SF9: i've been dipping into their music more than anything that shows off their personality, so we're still hovering around the main four that caught my eye during Kingdom.

Taeyang — this shouldn't be a surprise, if he's not the one that regularly drags people into this fandom the way Kim 'i just wanted to know who the one with blue hair was!!' Taehyung and Lee 'when did this kid hit puberty??' Felix do, i will put ketchup on my slipper and eat it. seeing his outfit for that one Teardrop stage was what dragged me back into this hell, actually, so 🥲

Hwiyoung — i thought he was pretty generically handsome and stiff at the start of the rap unit collab, but seeing him try to loosen up and have fun was really endearing. and then their kcon performance came and kicked me in the fucking chest—i'm sorry, shirt with more buttons undone than done, hair in a messy bun, that totally relaxed, loose-limbed vibe??? stick a fork in me, i'm fuckin done

Inseong — i noticed him from the very start of Kingdom, he had such a playful, impish vibe the whole time; it was the vocal unit collab that fucking got me, tho, you can't make a boy cry on this show and expect me to not want to take him 😔

Jaeyoon — i don't even know what it is about him, because looks-wise, he's not the type i'm usually into? and i usually have to have some prior investment before things like a firm b-cup get to me honestly. i think it was the vocal unit collab, actually, he and Inseong both were so tall and so handsomely awkward when the iKon boys showed up, it was truly delightful. plus, despite the tragic ending, i did really enjoy that particular stage.

aside from them, the only ones i can even match a name to a face with are Zuho (will i ever stop being unhornily mad about the line "I'm the male version of Venus"? probably not) and Chani (babbyyyyyyy 🥺).

i'm so glad you're doing well!! honestly, 2022 still feels like an extension of 2021, in the same way last year just felt like an extension of 2020, but we'll see how long that lasts. regardless of how it turns out, we have each other<3

MAKES ME WONDER [1/40] The Concert

→ Synopsis : Your dream to attend a Seventeen concert was finally coming true but you weren't prepared for the events that were going to follow after Joshua made eye contact with you and chose to make you his partner for the mini game and take you out on a date as a winning prize.

→ Genre : fluff

→ Type : Idol x fan au

→ Word count : 1.4k

→ Taglist : @mngyuheart @vannie24 @uglyratlmao (let me know of you want to be added to the taglist)

→ Pairing : idol!Joshua x fan!reader

→ Main Seventeen Masterlist

→ Makes Me Wonder Masterlist

You sat in front of your laptop, anxiously waiting for pledis to open up the site to buy Seventeen's concert ticket, you weren't sure if you would get a chance since they have been getting more and more popular with their career, your friend Miu was seated beside you with the same anxious expression. 

"You think we would be able to snatch the tickets before it gets sold out?"

Your eyes were trained on the time that was showing at the corner of your laptop, you had tried to go to their concert before too but the first time you did, you were 2 minutes late and the other time the site crashed, you weren't going to give up this time around since they were going to be at your city and you've been staring at the opened site from the last one hour, you were sure you would get it this time. 

"I swear to God I'll go feral if I don't get it this time, I just have one damn wish to see them live at least once in my whole lifetime, it shouldn't be that hard."

Your friend just giggled at your anxious state even though she felt the same but you had been waiting for this time way before she did and she understood how you felt. 

The notification for the tickets to be ready to sell popped up and you immediately started the process of buying two seats in the front row although you knew it would be hard to get. 

You had been practicing how to buy the ticket fastest ever since you lost the chance due to your naivety and less experience in the said field but you had spent the last couple of days watching how to buy tickets fast and you were hoping that your finger would work magic this time around.

You had Miu's laptop opened in case you couldn't do it with your own but you were hoping you wouldn't reach that stage, you were hoping for the front seats but you wouldn't mind getting anywhere at this point. 

Your heart was beating loudly and your hands were shaking due to nervousness, Miu leaned closer to the laptop screen yelling incoherent words which went above your head and you gave your card details ending the process. 

You looked towards Miu and then back at the screen multiple times yelling in victory once you got the notification that you got your tickets. 

"WE DID IT." 

You crawled on the floor as if all the strength had left your body and you and Miu stayed there for what seemed like eternity, wide grins plastered on both of your faces, you finally got a ticket for Seventeen's concert. 

▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️▫️

"Miu, get ready fast, you don't wanna be late for the concert, I'm literally going to pass out if you don't hurry up, I'm getting dizzy." 

You hurriedly put your earrings on, taking a run towards your shoes, you wanted to wear as comfortable clothes as possible, you knew the arena had seats for the audience but you wanted to wear something which was well planned but comfortable, it wasn't like any of the boys would notice your presence to over dress yourself and feel uncomfortable all throughout the concert, you wanted to enjoy it as much as possible, it was once in a life chance. 

"I'm ready, let's go, I booked the cab and it's waiting outside."

You locked your apartment, making a run towards the cab and getting seated. Your throat felt dry and you were sure you would cry due to being overwhelmed. 

You had followed the boys ever since their debut days but since you were also young your parents didn't allow you to go to the concert but now that you were finally going to see them, you were about to piss your pants. 

You heard they would be in your city for almost two weeks before finally going to another city and you were glad they would spend the next two weeks relaxing along with practicing for the next concert. 

The next few hours were a blur to you as you found yourself seated in your assigned seat in the front row, it was a bit to the left of the center but front row nonetheless. 

"We're going to get noticed by them, I hope we do." 

Miu yelled since the screams of the other carats were too loud, you were massaging your elbow since someone knocked you sideways and you collided with the wall due to the impact. 

Carats can be wild when they want, the journey from the gates till the seats were one hell of a ride, you don't even know which of your body parts was hurt at this point. 

"Just be glad we were able to attend the concert and were lucky enough to get the front row, it's still the dream of many carats, although it would be nice to get noticed by them, let's not make our hopes high." 

You dismissed her from talking any further, you wanted to save your yelling for the fanchants. The large screen started showing the music videos of the boys from debut till the recent one and you were shocked to see everyone chanting the fanchant even at the music videos, you followed soon jumping and yelling at the same time and dancing the choreography you've learnt by heart. 

The countdown began and the cheers got louder and louder as the boys made their grand entrance with Clap blasting all throughout the arena. 

"ARE YOU READY?" 

You could feel your eyes water and tears escaped your eyes as you took in their sites clad in king like outfits with red sash, it was a dream come true, you eyes scanned each other the boys as they performed their first song.

"Bro, is this even real?" 

You shook your head not feeling it in your system to even utter a single word as you kept on cheering for the boys with a bongbong in your hand. Every single one of them looked so good you weren't sure if they were real at this point. 

"Say the name, Seventeen." 

The boys greeted as everyone vowed down and did their individual greetings.

"HOW ARE YOU FEELING CARATS?" 

Everyone screamed as Vernon started talking, making the others laugh because he couldn't continue. 

"Okay we know you're excited but please calm down." 

The crowd comparatively calmed down as the members continued interacting with carats. 

Every carat beside you kept on cheering and screaming their name but all you could do was stare at them in complete awe, so much for practicing to do fanchants when you weren't even able to open your mouth even when they were just talking with each other. 

You calmed your nerves, a foolish smile on your face as they introduced their next song to be a vocal unit song 'Second life'. You smiled when you realized that your favorite song was up next and you cheered loudly when the boys came on the stage, dressed differently. 

You nodded your head along with the bongbong in your hand as you looked at whichever member near to you, getting lost at how beautiful they sounded live. 

The crowd cheered loudly again and you looked at Miu in confusion. 

"They are carrying roses in their hands, maybe they'll give it to some of the carats." 

Your eyes widened in shock as you took a look at the members holding single roses in their hand and disperse among the wide stage. 

From where you were seated, you could clearly see Joshua and Jihoon walking towards the left of the center, where you were seated. The carats near you screamed as you just watched them, Jihoon stopped midway where as Joshua stopped right where you were. 

The cheers got more loud from your side when Joshua looked down, his eyes making a contact with yours, a gentle smile adorning his face as he waved at you. 

He squats down when you didn't move from your seat, you could still hear other's deafening screams but you weren't sure what was happening. 

He outstretched his hands towards you motioning you to take the rose in his hands. 

You just sat there looking at him shocked, the bongbong in your hand was on your lap, you couldn't even react as Miu and others yelled how lucky you were to get noticed by him. 

You slowly stood up and Miu pushed you towards his direction as you shakingly reached your hands and took the flower from his hand, your hand brushed his during the process and you were sure seeing the stars.  

He put the mic back and sang his lines. 

"We’re already beautiful, I like it because it’s us, no words are necessary, the gaze, the touch."

He got up as he sang, eyes never leaving yours and you were sure your face was as red as tomato. 

"What just happened?"

Anime: Demon Slayer

Videogame: Miitopia

Back in lockdown in Australia rn, and I'm also on School Holiday break, so had a lot of time to binge videogames and finally catch up on anime again. So this week's recommendations, I'll discuss how I've been spending my time this past week.

Anime: Demon Slayer

Demon Slayer is firstly, a really good looking anime. I read the manga in its entirety a while ago, and one thing that really set apart from other manga was its beautiful full-page action panels, and the anime does not disappoint in recreating those visuals. Beautiful colourful effects and lighting paint each scene as an art-piece worthy of being in a museum.

Character designs are fun, interesting, and varied. Lots of characters have very colourful outfits and hairstyles that make every character unique. One detail I only picked up recently is that almost every character, human and demon, have completely unique designs for the iris of their eyes. And I just think that's neat.

I won't spoil too much in the way of story, but I feel I gotta set the stage to truly sell this to potential watchers. Demon Slayer has a truly unique setting for a yokai hunting style anime, in that it is based in the Taisho period, or the early 1900s. Much of the story takes place in rural countryside and forest Japan, with settings that would not look out of place in a samurai-style flick, but characters also visit bigger cities, with early cars, trams, and electricity.

The main character, Tanjiro Kamado, sets out to join the Demon Slayer Corp, a secret society of warriors who have dedicated their lives to hunting and slaying Demons, undead monsters who have infiltrated society or hide out in the wilderness, and eat people for sustenance. Tanjiro's sister, Nezuko, was transformed into a Demon, but through strong familial bonds, she refuses to harm humans. Tanjiro and Nezuko work their way through the ranks and hunt ever more powerful demons in the hope that one day, they can find a way to restore Nezuko's humanity. The supporting cast are all endearing and deep characters, all with interesting personalities, backstories, and fighting styles.

Demon Slayer is a beautiful anime with interesting characters and truly unique and fun action. If you like shonen, fun monster designs, or even just Japanese settings, I 100% recommend watching it.

Videogame: Miitopia

My experience with RPGs is very shallow, in that the only RPG series I've truly dipped fully into is Pokemon. But it's not like I don't like the appeal of the genre. The typical JRPG idea where you control a group of heroes adventuring through a wide fantasy world, defeating monsters, defending towns, and becoming strong enough to destroy the dark lord, all sounds very appealing to me. The problem is mostly scale; I am very much an obsessive completionist with many games I play. I collected all 900 Koroks in Breath of the Wild after all. So exploring the world of an RPG and losing myself for hundreds of hours in the combat system and gigantic world sounds... intimidating, for lack of a better word. So in order to ramp myself up towards more meaty titles, I decided I would take a dive into baby's first JRPG, Miitopia.

Miitopia is a Nintendo Switch Game with fairly linear, but somewhat freeform progression. Encounters and towns are explored on a world map, that sometimes branches off, but there's a general trend of beat Level A, unlock Level B to the right and continue on until you beat the boss of this world and move on. In combat encounters, the player has direct control over their Avatar character, but other party members auto battle, adjusting to the situation.

The game is not just a dumbed down JRPG however, there's a lot that sets it apart as a truly unique experience within its genre. Because the game works with the Nintendo Mii system as its base, every single character in the world from the protagonist, to the Big Bad Evil Guy, to the snappy Grandma in town, are all up to the player to decide their identities. And the Switch version of the game has a truly advanced character customiser on top of the usual Mii Maker, so people can get truly wild with their designs, with thankfully, you can download from more talented artists online.

Every party member is given a Job, which vary from usual RPG classes like Warrior, Mage, and Thief, to classes that don't really have equivalents elsewhere, like Chef, Cat, and Tank. Every character is also given a personality type, which adds even more chaos to the autobattle system. Kind characters will sometimes jump in to shield friends, but also sometimes spare enemies. Stubborn characters will attack again and again, but will often refuse healing from allies. Energetic characters sometimes hurt themselves when attacking, but will often cheer allies to restore MP, and so on.

Every character also has a relationship tracker with other members of the party, and when they get to certain levels, they will learn new ways to help each other. Early on, this can mean they will praise each other's attacks, or warn them to get out of the way, and later, they can sacrifice themselves or get revenge when their allies fall. This version also adds a horse, which also has relationships with each party member, leading to team up attacks and abilities when they trust each other more.

For my party, I chose to base party characters on past and present D&D characters, living out an AU where they are united against a common cause, but your heroes can be anyone, from OCs to Mr Bean and Steven Universe, teaming up as super heroes to save the world from Dark Lord Shadow the Hedgehog.

Miitopia is a solid, albeit simplified JRPG, with a tonne of freedom on how you want to build the world. And if you are a noob to RPGS like me, or enjoy the genre but wanna try something unique, I definitely recommend giving Miitopia a try.
