#introverted vs confidence

[harunrabbani]

Can introverted students ever have confidence? Time to bust the myth of “extroverted people can only be confident”.

[goblinparty]

there's two kinds of people in this world- people who routinely use headphones while in their own house, and those who use speakers instead & i think that is so much more telling about someone's character than a star chart or the mbti

Cards Pulled: 3 of pentacles, the hermit, knight off swords, 4 of cups, page of pentacles, Uranus, and oracle cards

This reading is soo adorable sjsdhhobxckvc😭😍

Bestie... this person is down bad for you. And the more calm and collected you are? The more it drives them wild (and confused 😭).

They just want to figure you out. To meet you where you are. And maybe, just maybe... be enough for you.

Okay SO... you have probably met them during a major shift in your life like something big had just changed, could also be unexpected change, or you were stepping outside of your comfort zone. It could be things related to career stuff, work placements, school, college, internships, basically somewhere tied to your goals or a professional setting where you were pushing yourself.

They see you as “THAT” person!!!!. Like seriously,, they think you’re the epitome of structure, elegance, and unshakable composure, to them, you are the standard. I’ seeing that most of yall are introverts. About them, I’m also seeing that they’re obsessed with how serious you look when you're concentrating LOLL. 

This person, Oh honey, they are also sooooambitious and determined in general, but when it comes to YOU? They’re reckless. Like “I don’t care if I make a-fool of myself I just want to be yours” reckless (SOMEONE GIVE ME TISSUEEE) They view you as this beacon of perfection, someone who always strives for the best and thrives in systems and routines. (Meanwhile they’re probably a little chaotic inside like, “How does this angel even function so perfectly all the time?”😭😭

But you stress yourself too much, right? They notice that when things don’t go your way, you might panic a lot. And they’re like, “Wow... even their breakdowns are elegant.” LMAO I’m not even kidding.

Here’s the catch, they see you as someone above them in experience or confidence or maturity. There’s a real student/mentor, or junior/senior vibe here. They lowkey look up to you. Maybe they’re younger in age, or maybe they just feel way more inexperienced compared to your level. Also, this feels very much like a professional connection. There’s a respect, a formality, kind of dynamic. So again, work or college, or while you were doing your thing. 

Emotionally though? OH BABY. They are in their feelings. Deeply. Like they feel this soulmate-level connection with you. They feel this spiritual bond with you, like you complete them. BUT They also think you’re super introverted (even if you’re not!), and it throws them off. They're over here trying to pour their whole heart out, like "take it, it's yours!" meanwhile you’re just sitting there like 🧍 “hmm okay but what does this mean?”  “Why won’t they just say they love me the way I want to hear it?” vs “Why are they saying so much at once I need to process???”

You might not realize it, but they feel like you're not as expressive or emotionally certain as they are. They want to you to express yourself to them, whatever you feel, but they feel like you're still calculating the water temperature 

Despite all this They hold you in very high regard. They don’t even think they’re worthy of your love tbh. They’re like “I could never meet those standards ”  and that’s where the self-doubt kicks in. But, they’re still ready to risk it all for you. Like, consequences be damned! This person is on a mission to build a bond with you, even if the odds feel stacked against them.

They’re rushing. Reckless. Emotional. Dreamy. And terrified. They want you RIGHT NOW. And the idea that you might not love them back the same way is Devastating ot them. And because of that, they try to match your vibe, mature, calm, composed, but inside they're EXPLODING. They think you’re so perfect, so ideal, that they’re trying everything to charm you. Like everything. Subtle flirting, random compliments, charming little jokes, they’re throwing it all at the wall to see what sticks.

But... you’re not biting. Or at least not in the way they expected. So most of the time they are thinking, “What more can I do? How do I reach their level? How do I win them over for real?”

˙⋆✮ Pile II

Cards Pulled: 5 of pentacles, the hermit, 8 of pentacles, 9 of pentacles, Gemini and oracle cards

I can already feel the heaviness of this connection.😭

Your person are not as emotionally invested anymore or at least, not in the same way. NOW don’t get me wrong here, cuz this DOESN’T mean they are loosing feelings. They are just in a phase where they are thinking “I need to move on for my own growth”. They’re kinda checked out emotionally, sure. And if they’re still in this relationship, they’re questioning whether it’s truly right for them, atleast at the moment.

What I’m getting is that they feel like this thing ight not be working,  like it’s just not aligning anymore. They’re looking at it like: “This isn’t helping me grow. This might even be holding me back.” And so... they’re walking away. Not out of hatred. Not even out of anger. But out of emotional self-preservation. For their own sake. And the worst part is, you can’t even blame them for this. 

Right now, they’re turning inward. Focusing on themselves. Working on themself. They're in full-on Hermit mode. They’re putting effort into rebuilding their life, mostly about their career or goals in life. BUT what I'm seeing about you all is that y'all are feeling hella suspicious right now. Like, “Are they cheating on me? Is there something I don’t know? Why do I feel like something’s off?” And tbh... I don’t blame y'all for thinking that.

Because guess what, i can hear spirits telling me, be cautious my dear, because not everything is what it seems. Gemini also popped up, It’s a sign that gets associated with duality, sometimes masking intentions, and yes, even lying at times. So it’s no surprise that you are overthinking mind is going bananas. You feel like something sneaky is going on behind the scenes. And the fact that this person is emotionally withdrawing only amplifies those fears.

BUT here's the thing...From what I’m picking up, I don’t think it’s about cheating. I think it’s about emotional distance. Like... your person still likes you. A lot actually. Maybe even still LOVES you.So They can’t just cut that cord so easily. They’re still longing to look into your eyes, for hours. They’re obsessed in a very soft, pained way. But they also feel like time is slipping through their fingers. They’re standing at a crossroads like: “Do I follow this pull toward my future and personal success? Or do I stay in this connection that means so much to me emotionally but feels like it’s stalling me?” “They’re not trying to hurt anyone, they’re just trying to figure out why their heart is being so dramatic.” BUT your person is also strong-willed AF. When they want something, they go for it. They’re determined and fearless to get it. But now they’re in uncharted territory, because they’ve never felt this deeply before. Like... ever.

They see you as the GOAT. The greatest person they’ve ever known. 💖 They know this kind of connection doesn’t come around twice. But the problem is, they also know that if they stay too long without healing or clarity, it might sabotage their own future. Their dreams. Their growth. Their purpose. So they’re stuck in this mental tug-of-war: “I love them. I don’t want to lose them.” vs. “But what about my goals, my future, my expansion?”

I’m also seeing, changes, disruption, and soul-searching across distance, beliefs, or even higher learning paths. This person is questioning everything. And they might even be considering leaving physically, traveling, moving, or shifting away to find clarity. 

They don’t hate you, my dear. They’re not trying to break your heart. That would be the last thing they would imagine. The fact is, actually, They’re just... overwhelmed. They’re scared they’ll get so attached that they’ll lose themselves. So instead of staying and drowning, they’re pulling back to breathe and figure out who they are again.

˙⋆✮ Pile III

Cards Pulled: wheel of fortune, 9 of cups, The devil, death, the star, pieces, venus, and oracle cards

SO MANY MAJOR ARCANA CARDS IN ONE?!?!?!? That too, such big ones💀💀💀and the only minor arcana is also soo powerful and one of my favs. The order in which the cards were laid out is so dramatic and exciting!!!(*rubs hands aggressively*)

This pile is literally every synonym of love😭🥹 ( uhm...maybe obsession and some drama too)

Before anything else i'll put it here, if you're unsure or wondering if this person likes you? THEY DO. THEY DO. THEY FCKN DO.

Words can’t even begin to express how intensely this person is feeling on the inside. Like... their emotions they are feeling because of you Are on another level. They feel this incredibly fated connection with you, one that’s deeply transformative, nurturing, and honestly It feels like their biggest wish has come true. You’re that person for them.

To the point where they literally can’t control themselves. There’s this obsessive, magnetic undercurrent to it all, and yes, sexual tension is very much in the room with us right now 🫠. They’re like, “Why do I feel this way? Why can’t I stop thinking about them??” But they can’t even find the words. The connection is hitting so hard, it’s beyond logic. It’s just feeling.

This is giving BIG Venus-in-Water-signs energy. Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces vibes all over. Either you or them (or both) probably have strong water energy in your chart, or you just feel like a water sign, super deep, intuitive, romantic, and soft but intense at the same time.

They feel like you’re the one nurturing them. And this connection is unlike anything they’ve ever experienced before. It’s the kind of emotional pull that feels so raw, so healing, but also terrifying. Like... “this is so good it has to be bad, right??”  (but they want it anyway). They literally can’t stop thinking about you. And being in this connection, being with you, is everything. Like, EVERYTHING. Their entire existence is starting to revolve around it.

The intensity of love, emotions and obsession they feel for you Unmatched. It’s honestly overwhelming for them. They feel out of control, and yet... they want to pour every ounce of their soul into this. Because this? This is something they manifested. Something they dreamed of. You are the person they feel they could never let go of.

Now, real talk, there’s a strong obsessive vibe here too. Some of y’all might not vibe with that energy and that’s valid!! But this isn’t just toxic obsession, this is that deep Pluto kind that leads to massive emotional transformation. But don’t be fooled, this person isn’t always this intense. They’re actually very, very sweet 🧁. Almost like honey.  And funny enough, that’s exactly how they see you.To them, you’re like a piece of art they’re lucky to even look at. They admire you. Worship you.. And they just want to hold you forever, like literally never let go. They want to surrender to this connection fully. And they have already surrendered themselves to you already.

And here’s the wildest part is, Even they can’t believe what they’re doing or feeling. They're like, "Who even am I right now??" They’re in awe of your grace, your magnetism, your aura. You feel so “lethal” to them, but in the most beautiful way. Everything about this connection feels brand new to them. The emotions. The pull. The obsession. The beauty. It’s like tasting a flavor they didn’t know existed. It’s nurturing, healing, and intoxicating all at once. Sometimes, they genuinely feel like they're doing something wrong, like they shouldn’t be this into someone. And they try to pull away. But the feeling? That nurturing warmth you radiate? They can’t leave. They won’t let go. They feel like you are their karma, like everything they’ve done in life led them to you. They know this deep within that “What I seeded is what I now receive.” They truly believe you are the fruit of that karma. The divine reward for all their past efforts. You’re their gift from the universe. And losing you is not an option for them. Not even a thought.

There’s this fierce need to protect you. Yes, there’s physical desire and all the fiery sexual tension, but underneath it all There’s this soft, delicate devotion. Like “wrap you in a blanket and make you soup forever” kind of love.

They see you as their emotional support. The missing piece in their soul. There’s a part of them that’s always felt incomplete, a heart half-full kind of ache. And you? You’re filling that cup. You’re not just healing them, you’re healing wounds they didn’t even know they had (and you never even caused them in the first place).

They describe you in their mind as honey. The sweetness. The softness. The warmth. The comfort. And they want to protect that at all costs. They don’t see themselves letting you go. They already see a future with you. And honestly? They might already be planning it. (Don’t be surprised if they’ve imagined you two picking out curtains together).

I'm so glad your requests are open!!!! So I was thinking for a request, could be head canons or not. What would it be like for Bob shy and awkward guy vs reader who's very extroverted and open. I think there could be a fun dynamic there.

🥹🤍

☆.°*Bob Dating an Extrovert HCs*°.☆

pairing: bob reynolds x extrovert!reader a/n: OO YAY!! as an extroverted person with an introverted bf this is so my cup of tea. i’ll do headcanons now but I def want to explore this in a full fic soon <3 word count: 1k warnings: none I think? fluff!!

☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・bob masterlist・°☆.。.:*・°☆.。.:*・°☆

Bob felt some days that there must have been some magnetic pull or magic spell that you had on people that just made them gravitate towards you in a ways no one ever did towards him.

On many an outing, Bob had stood awkwardly at your side as you gave an old man directions, laughed along to a joke that some lady at the crosswalk said, or cheerfully shared where you got your outfit from after a compliment from a stranger.

And he wasn't confused, per say. Bob understood why people gravitated towards you- you had friendly demeanor, kind eyes and an infectious smile that you passed on freely to everyone you saw. People had to try not to like you.

What he couldn't understand is how you so confidently engaged with so many people. If he had been in your shoes, he would have fumbled over his sentences and somehow manage to disgruntle the other party. As kind as Bob was, as you assured him many a time, he just didn't draw people the way you did.

Really, it was just another thing that he loved about you: that your view of the world, experiences, and people were so different from his.

That being said, if you had a lot of friends he would be so nervous to meet them.

Bob would almost try to get out of it- rehearsing his faux illness to save him the embarrassment of making a fool out of himself in front of the people who mattered most to you-

but in the end, he would go. Bob may have been scared, but you were his girlfriend. His fear of disappointing you and seeing the sad "oh... okay" on your face as he lied to you was greater than his fear of a night out.

When he did meet them, you'd have to hold his hand to ground him.

But obviously, even with his meekness, it went swimmingly, with your friends even commending him on being able to balance you out.

Opposites attract after all.

Some things won't change for Bob. As I've mentioned before, Bob has an addictive personality and would stay far away from a night out drinking. Although being with you had brought him out of his shell more, there were simply some things that he wouldn't do.

If you had a night out without him, Bob would be waiting up for you in bed reading. The second you walked through the door, he'd mark his place in the book, look up at you, and wait for you to repeat the whole night for him verbatim.

"And then- oh my god, Bob, you wouldn't believe it-"

And he would listen just enough to be able to answer any questions you might quiz him on, but mostly he'd just be admiring how pretty you look talking about your friends in the warm glow of the lamplight.

Though he may be sober now, Bob is no stranger being drunk or having a hangover. If you walked in the door stumbling after a night out, he'd guide you into the bathroom, tie back your hair and get you ready for bed: with medication and water waiting on the nightstand for the morning.

If you were in the habit of having friends stay over, Bob would make up the pull out couch, no questions asked, stock the fridge and leave snacks out for your guests.

"Bob, I love you." Your friend would groan flopping onto the freshly washed sheets. "Can you marry her already?"

And it was moments like that where his cheeks burned bright red and he excused himself to the other room to avoid stumbling over his words and embarrassing himself further.

Whether you intended to or not, you would often share stories with others from your relationship with Bob. In your case, they often slipped out when telling an unrelated story that you had gone off track on, or you simply didn't think it was anything worth keeping secret.

You were an open book and your love for Bob was nothing to be ashamed about.

Bob wouldn't even know until he'd be walking into the kitchen of the Avengers Tower one day and everyone would just look at him.

"Bob, why did you not tell us that you keep picture of team in your wallet?" Alexei asked.

"Forget that," John interrupted, mouth full of cereal. "Why do you hide it behind your condoms?"

And if it were not for the Sentry serum pumping through his veins, Bob was sure he would've died of mortification on the spot.

But Bob couldn't even find it in himself to be upset with you because you not being able to stop yourself from talking about him just made his heart swell.

So many people loved you in this life, and you still chose to love him. He really wasn't sure he would ever understand it, but he would try his best to prove you right.

You would have to go with him to his doctors appointments if something was wrong because Bob would be too embarrassed to discuss his body with another person like that.

If the Void ever did make an appearance, he would hate you. He thrives off of Bob's loneliness, but being with you made that impossible. You effortlessly merged him into your daily life and relationships, making enough time for Bob to be alone with his thoughts long enough to spiral, extremely rare.

Your friends would become his friends and vice versa.

On the rare occasion your social battery died or someone had hurt your feelings, rendering you silent, it was as if Bob's backup system had booted up. He'd glance at you worriedly, reaching for your hand and take over the remainder of the conversation: either insisting to your friends that it was time to head home or defending your honor against some asshole.

Even if he stumbled over his words doing it, watching him take care of you like that did make you swoon.

I feel like I could go on about this all day, but Bob would be perfect with an extroverted partner. Opposites attract and your conflicting personalities would bring balance to one another- you getting Bob more out of his shell and confident in his own skin, while he kept you grounded, safe, and loved in the privacy of your own little bubble.

idk if uve done this before buuuttt.. tsundere idia? 🥺 tyty

good idea!!

Tsundere!Idia that’s gets foul with you, and he’s not the type that’ll just kick your shins and run away all blushy. No chance, because when does the prefect ever get good things? He will INSTAKILL your confidence. Sure he loves you and is this close to just biting the bullet and make a holo-yuu for himself, but there’s no way you’ll EVER know that. Tsundere!Idia that is only so mean because he took himself out of the race before it even started- how’s he supposed to compete with the “prince with a super tragic and sexy backstory”?? He’s just Idia!!! (Ignoring that he’s basically Batman)

Tsundere!Idia has devoted his entire life to preserving his introvert utopia, no shot he’ll let some.. temptress sully his good name! (Read; login streak)

Tsundere!Idia that’s forced to do an alchemy class with you in person!! (“Blah blah can’t google answers, pup!”) smoke is literally coming off his head, and somehow he’s “your favourite partner”?? Are you trying to kill him?? OFC he has to combat this super effective move with a mumbled comment about how “well.. your hair looks really dumb” but how’s he supposed to speak up and insult you to your face when it looks like that!! “nvm!! ctrl z,,”

But with how shy Idia is around you face to face, he “makes up for it” with how degrading he is online (only with text to speech :’) and the poor prefect is left wondering if they’ve been catfished :( sure the conversation’s a little stale, but he’s never this mean when you see him! You’ve just got to get to the bottom of this!

Your introduction to Ortho Shroud is a little awkward, considering your opening line is “your older brother’s totally my type! And I’m pretty sure he hates me!” But afterwards you two click like nuts and bolts! Idia’s left shaking in a corner of his room bc who says that?? You have to be some kind of idiot! Or better yet, he’s the genius because his master “avoid the loml” play is working!!

Atleast it was. Until Ortho gets the bright idea to set the two of you up in his room. You’re trying to see what his problem is, and he’s stuck because he’s had this raid planned for months, he can’t just bail!

What’ll happen? Stay tuned for the results of noob vs hacker next season!! (They beef it out or make out no third option)

Series Masterlist | Main Masterlist

Ch 1 | Ch 2 | Ch 3 | Ch 4

You like to think this was a selfless idea.

After all, things had been weird ever since the dates. Not bad-weird, just different. The kind of different where Yoongi watches you longer than necessary when he thinks you won’t notice and Wonwoo suddenly likes sitting just a little closer than before.

And okay, maybe you liked the attention. Maybe you liked them competing for your time. And maybe—just maybe—you wanted to indulge in the idea that this was your own personal season of The Bachelorette (or Single’s Inferno, if you were feeling extra dramatic).

But mostly? You just wanted to spend time with both of them together again. So, in the spirit of "bonding," you suggested an activity that felt fun, safe, totally neutral.

Archery.

Roommate Rule #4: If You Plan a Group Outing to Bond, Be Prepared for Chaos.

The moment you step into the archery range, Yoongi sighs like he’s already bored. You give him a stern look and his lips thin into a straight line, chin dimpling as he pretends to now be well-behaved. Meanwhile, Wonwoo is practically vibrating with energy. He cracks his knuckles, rolls out his shoulders. Honestly, with the amount of gaming he does, he might just be naturally good at this.

An instructor teaches you three the basics. You’re the only one listening, because Yoongi seems to be disassociating heavily and Wonwoo is so hyped up like he’s in a real first person shooter game.

You volunteer to go first. You step up to the line, nock the arrow, and pull back the bowstring. It takes a little adjusting, but your shot is decent. Not perfect, but it hits the board. 6.

“Not bad,” Yoongi muses, arms crossed.

“You sound so surprised,” you scoff.

“I am.”

Wonwoo steps up, brimming with confidence. He draws back. Pouts his lips. Aims. Releases.

Misses. Completely.

Like. It was not even close. It did not even hit the board or the one beside it.

“What the—” Wonwoo blinks at the target, as if it is the problem. “That can’t be right.”

Yoongi tilts his head. “It looked right to me.”

“Hyung...” Wonwoo whines, but quickly grabs another arrow. Misses again.

“-100 aura?” Yoongi supplies unhelpfully.

You purse your lips, fighting the laughter bubbling up in your throat. “Uh… maybe you just need to adjust a little?”

“I don’t need to adjust,” Wonwoo grumbles, rolling his shoulders. “I just need to—”

Then Yoongi steps up. Casually. Effortlessly, as he does everything else. He draws back, barely even aiming—shoots.

It’s a perfect bullseye.

Wonwoo stares.

You are so gagged. “Wait. You never said you were good at this.”

Yoongi shrugs, completely unfazed. “I’m good at everything.”

Wonwoo just stands there, arrow still in hand, confidence actively crumbling. “Hyung, you gotta show me once…”

And of course, Yoongi is not a complete asshole, so he does give Wonwoo a few pointers. Spends time with the basics and a few of his own techniques. (“Don’t pout when you aim, unless you wanna split your lip.”) He’s actually a good teacher.

But even after that, Wonwoo misses twice more. You study his expression, and he is visibly struggling. His shoulders are tense, his grip is stiff, and you can see the frustration in his expression.

You feel bad now.

“You’re just tense,” you say, stepping closer, placing your palms on his shoulder, squeezing a bit. “Breathe. Relax this.”

Wonwoo exhales, nodding as you adjust his stance, fixing his grip.

Yoongi coughs. You ignore him.

Then, finally, Wonwoo releases the arrow—and it actually hits the board this time. 4! A win is a win!

“See?” You grin, patting him on the back. “Better!”

Wonwoo still pouts. “Still not good enough, though.”

“You’re good at other things,” you offer.

Yoongi scoffs. “Yeah? Name one.”

Wonwoo mutters, “…Being tall.”

You giggle as Yoongi responds with an, “I’ll give you that.”

After the tragic archery session, you all end up at a pocha close to your apartment. Greasy food, cheap soju. The vibes are always good here.

The three of you settle into your usual spot, the server spotting you with your usual digs: tteokbokki, odeng, soju, beer.

Yoongi is nursing his beer, Wonwoo is distractedly scrolling on his phone, and you are already halfway through your second soju shot because tonight just feels like one of those nights.

And then, it happens.

At the next table, a group of three girls keeps sneaking glances over, whispering.

It doesn’t take long before one of them gathers the courage to approach, smiling directly at Wonwoo.

"Hi! Sorry to bother you, but—" she bows in slightly, eyes wide with curiosity. "Are you a streamer? You look so familiar."

Wonwoo blinks, caught completely off guard. “Oh—uh, yeah. I stream sometimes.”

One of the other girls gasps. “I knew it! You’re gameboy17. We watch your streams all the time!”

The third girl, the boldest of them, rests her chin in her hand, smiling. “Wow, I didn’t think you’d be even cuter in person.”

Yoongi and you exchange knowing glances, while Wonwoo.exe has stopped working.

His jaw tightens, ears slowly turning pink, and for a second, he looks like he’s about to short-circuit. But then, he rubs the back of his neck, clears his throat, and finally gets his footing.

“Oh—uh, thanks,” he says, offering a tiny, lopsided grin.

And just like that, the girls pounce.

They start asking him a million questions. What games does he play? How long has he been streaming? Does he have a girlfriend?

You sip your drink, completely unbothered.

Yoongi, on the other hand, is studying you carefully over the rim of his beer.

Wonwoo’s getting visibly more comfortable now, leaning into the attention, his usual awkwardness melting away under the weight of all this praise. The way they’re hanging off his every word, you’re pretty sure these girls are the type to let him ruin their lives, and he knows it.

And then—

"Oppa, you don’t have to third-wheel with your friends,” one of them pouts. "Come join us at our table."

Wonwoo freezes. His ears go from pink to red.

Yoongi’s lips twitch, barely suppressing a smirk, but you can hear a hum of satisfaction as he takes a slow sip of beer.

Your face prickles, heat spreading up your neck at the sudden, unexpected insinuation. You feel the attention shift to you now, the unspoken question hanging in the air.

You could make him suffer. But you’re feeling merciful.

"We're all just roommates," you clarify, giving Wonwoo an easy out.

The girls nod in understanding, but it does nothing to deter them. They go right back to chatting him up.

And then—you make a mistake. Maybe it’s the soju, maybe it’s the pure chaos of it all, but the moment you invite them to join your table, they actually do.

Wonwoo looks horrified. But when he glances at you, you just give him a nod like, it’s okay, enjoy the attention.

And really, why wouldn’t he?

The girls are practically draped over him now, leaning in closer every time he speaks, laughing a little too hard at things that aren’t that funny.

You should be annoyed. You should be jealous.

But as you sip your drink, seeing him interact with girls who are not you, you feel nothing.

Or rather, you feel something… but it isn’t jealousy. It’s just… curiosity.

Wouldn't you be irritated if you really wanted Wonwoo?

The thought lingers, curling around your brain like the cigarette smoke Yoongi just puffed out. Then, he speaks, casually pulling you from your reverie.

"So," he says. "You’re awfully quiet."

You blink, glancing at him. "No, I’m fine."

Yoongi doesn’t look convinced, but he doesn’t push. Instead, he just reclines in his seat, taking another drag from his cigarette.

"How’s work?" he asks.

And that’s that. The subject shifts. You talk about annoying coworkers, upcoming deadlines, the usual. And for the rest of the night, you and Yoongi stay in your own little world while Wonwoo enjoys the fruits of his unexpected fame. Which includes three new contact numbers saved on his phone.

By the time you head home, Wonwoo looks exhausted. He’s more quiet than usual, walking with a pensive expression like he’s deep in existential thought.

Yoongi glances at him, amused.

"You good, Romeo?"

Wonwoo exhales deeply. "I wasn’t prepared."

You laugh, nudging his elbow. "What, for being hot?"

Wonwoo turns his head slowly, expression serious. "Yes."

For once—even Yoongi has nothing to say.

It’s a lazy afternoon, and you’re perched at the kitchen counter, elbow-deep in a steaming bowl of instant ramen. Across from you, Yoongi is doing the same—hoodie sleeves pushed up, one hand cradling his chin, the other lazily twirling noodles around his chopsticks, humming some old cartoon show tune.

The apartment is quiet, peaceful, and a little lazy. Just how you like your Sunday mornings.

That was until the bedroom door creaks open and Wonwoo finally emerges from his crypt after a night-long stream.

His hair is a disheveled mess, his glasses slightly crooked sliding further from his oily nose, and his oversized shirt is barely hanging off his shoulder. You don’t even bother greeting him properly.

“Want noods?”

Suddenly, Yoongi chokes violently on his soup. A horrifying spluttering sound follows, and then he’s spitting the broth back into his bowl.

“The fuck,” he wheezes.

You blink at him. A little disgusted. “You okay?”

Yoongi glares, dabbing at his mouth with a napkin. ”Am I okay? Are you okay saying shit like that?”

And then it hits you.

The phrasing. The implication.

“Duh,” you roll your eyes defensively. “Of course, I meant noodles—”

But it’s too late. Because Wonwoo is grinning. Amused. Like he’s enjoying this a little too much.

“Easy, hyung,” he murmurs, plopping onto the seat next to you, stretching like a cat.

You flounder. Panic.

“Noodles!” you stress, voice a pitch too high. “I was just teasing him about the “nudes” his fangirls keep sending him!”

Wonwoo tilts his head slightly, clearly entertained. “So you are thinking about me getting nudes?”

Yoongi groans, pinching the bridge of his nose. “Can you two not do this in front of me?”

But Wonwoo just smirks, turns to you with his obnoxiously open mouth like you were about to perform a tonsillectomy. 

“Ahhh…” he vocalizes and you’re left with no choice but to shovel a big bite towards his mouth.

He chomps away happily. “Thanks for your noods, noona.”

“Hajimaaa,” Yoongi deposits his bowl in the sink and storms to his room.

“You’ve really got some nerve pulling that shit without even brushing your teeth first,” you taunt him.

“Please, you’d still kiss me, noona. I just know it.”

But before you can react, he’s already jumping to another topic. "So I wanna take you out again."

You blink. That was… again, the balls on this dude. Maybe those fangirls really are boosting his confidence like no other.

"You do?"

"Mhm." Wonwoo nods, tapping his fingers idly against the table. "Unless…" He shifts slightly, picking an imaginary lint from his t-shirt. "…you’ve already picked hyung?"

You stiffen. You’re not answering that. 

And Wonwoo? He sees that.

“Where would you even take me?”

He smiles, “Just leave it all up to me.”

It’s well past midnight when you wander into Yoongi’s room, mischief brewing like the bowl of soup caged in your palms.

His monitor glows softly, headphones on, glasses perched low on his nose. He’s completely lost in his work—clicking through audio tracks, adjusting levels, frowning at something only he can hear.

You lean against the doorway, watching him for a moment before stepping inside.

“Yoongi.”

No response.

So you do what any normal, sane, mature person would do—you poke his cheek.

Yoongi winces instantly, before finally removing his headphones. “Mm?”

You grin, setting the steaming bowl down beside his keyboard. You see the split second of fear in his eyes, but to his credit, he overlooks the danger to his expensive equipment in favor of humoring you for your sudden appearance in his room.

“You want noods?”

His eyes narrow immediately.

“Is this a real question,” he asks slowly, “or another attempt to emotionally scar me?”

“I literally made you ramen, and this is the thanks I get?”

Yoongi huffs, finally setting his work aside. “You made this yourself?”

“Instant ramen is not that hard, Yoongi.”

“Then why do you always make me cook?”

You gasp. “I slaved over this, and this is the thanks I get?”

“Aish. Slaved over? You just said it’s not that hard.” He chuckles, shaking his head, but then—without a word—he picks up a bite of noodles and holds it out.

You blink.

“What—”

“You made it,” he says simply, nudging the chopsticks toward you. “Taste it first.”

You let him feed you, swallowing slowly, too aware of the way his eyes are on you.

“Not bad,” you murmur.

“Mm,” Yoongi hums, picking up his own bite. “Guess I’ll take your noods after all.”

Aha!

And that’s when you strike.

“Okay then.”

You tap your phone against his, the soft ding of a successful Quick Share (Samsung supremacy! Airdrop eat shit!) filling the quiet. You walk backwards a bit, planning to make a great escape once you see his reaction.

Nothing yet. Yoongi just watches intently, waiting for the transfer to go through. A tiny preview of the photo comes and goes, then—his entire body goes rigid.

He drops the chopsticks, grabs his phone so suddenly it’s almost comical as he swipes to find your little present.

Then, in a hushed, slightly wrecked sort of way—

“Oh, what the fuck.”

You bite your lip, observing as he exhales sharply through his nose, his gaze flicking between his phone and you, then back to his phone like he’s trying to make sense of what he is looking at.

A cute little selfie from your last beach trip—camera angle from above, offering a perfect view of sunblock-slicked cleavage, bikini straps barely visible. Popsicle in hand, tongue teasingly out, eyes bright with mischief. Not exactly nudes. He hasn’t earned those yet. But this doesn’t leave much to the imagination either.

Slowly, he places his phone down. Carefully. Deliberately.

And then, voice low and kinda menacing: “If you don’t get over here right now—”

Your breath catches, because he’s dead serious. His thighs part slightly, his hands flex once on the arm rest—like he’s ready for it, like he wouldn’t hesitate to pull you right onto him.

And you want to. So badly. But instead, you smirk.

“Finish your ramen first.”

Yoongi groans, throwing his head back slightly, but he’s smiling now, too—small, exasperated, but real.

“You’re gonna kill me,” he mutters, shaking his head.

“I know.”

You finally inch towards him, then he grabs your wrist, pulling you in as he wanted to, sitting sideways on his lap.

“You really had that just sitting in your gallery?” he asks.

“Maybe.”

His fingers skim along the inside of your arm, his breath warm against your cheek.

“What are you doing to me?”

“Nothing,” you whisper, tilting your head slightly. “Yet.”

Yoongi chuckles under his breath, and finally, he kisses you.

It’s slow, warm, just a brush of lips at first, like he’s testing himself, testing you. But then his hand cups the back of your neck, and suddenly, you’re sinking into him, letting him pull you in completely. Just as quickly as it started, though, he pulls away.

A breath of space between you.

“Go to bed,” he murmurs, voice rough but fond.

“You too,” you whisper back.

He huffs a soft laugh as you stand up.

You take a slow step back, your heart still pounding way too hard as you slip toward the door.

And just before you leave, you call, “Good night, Yoongi.”

His gaze lingers, his lips twitching slightly before he finally looks back at his ramen. “Good night.”

And the last thing you see before the door clicks shut is the way his fingers hover over his phone—still debating whether to check that photo again.

:)

You know what I really appreciate about Kaidan's character arc? He gets a story about finding self-acceptance and letting himself let go and feel things - but at the same time, he still gets to be an introvert. He still gets to be, in his words, someone who isn't 'the life of the party, who has a lot of friends'.

I mean - in ME1, Kaidan fully admits to a romanced Shepard that he doesn't feel human. When he killed Vyrnnus, he became someone Rahna was afraid of, someone she saw as dangerous... so he holds himself to nigh-impossible standards. 'You never let yourself lose control,' Shepard tells him. He's very, very indirect in a lot of his conversations with Shep, because he's trying so hard not to be too direct, too forward; he's constantly polite and disciplined and professional because he can't be a problem. He can't let anyone see him as unpredictable or dangerous because that's when they start seeing you as terrifying. That's when people you love look at you like you're not human.

But Shepard can encourage him to let himself feel, and show it - 'I might need to loosen up. A little,' he admits, sheepishly - and when you see him again on Horizon, he lets his feelings be open and messy and a Problem. By ME3, he's completely embracing his nature as a biotic, gleefully letting everyone know at the Citadel party that he can Reave now, joining in with the other biotics roasting James in the 'biotics vs strength' argument. He's accepted himself, he knows his friends accept him, and he's letting himself laugh and drink and dance like a complete dork, and he's grown so much, and yet -

And yet, he's still a fundamentally quiet, self-contained person. Maybe I'm just jaded from all the media where introverted characters get told to loosen up, and then they suddenly realise that they do want to be the life of the party now actually. But Kaidan? Kaidan hangs out in the observation deck, perhaps the quietest part of the Normandy - the same place where Samara spent her time, a place where no other characters are present. (Ashley, in comparison, spends a lot of time hanging out in the bar, where there are constantly other characters around). Kaidan's Citadel hangout with Shepard? He doesn't head out onto the Silversun Strip with you like many of the other characters; his ideal evening is cooking a meal for his friend/partner and having a chill time with the two of you. A lot of the conversations you have with him on board ship are quiet, introspective. His hangout place on the Citadel is a quiet Presidium cafe.

It's just... comforting to me. He grows, but he doesn't have to change who he fundamentally is, y'know? ME3 Kaidan is more confident and sociable and (despite everything) happy than ME1 Kaidan, but he's still a guy who's not fond of too much lights or noise or crowds, who's soft-spoken and sensitive, who gets caught up in his own thoughts sometimes. I just really appreciate that.

You have a post about writing introverts, can you do one for extroverts? Ambiverts? Thank you!

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬, 𝐄𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬, 𝐀𝐦𝐛𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬

The extrovert vs. introvert divide runs deep down – to neurology. 

Extroverted brains have more “mirror neurons” that are responsible for responding to other people’s actions. Introverts use more parts of their brain when they’re at rest – increasing the blood flow to their brains even when they’re told to do nothing. That’s what makes introverts more tired than usual when they’re required to use up even more energy to interact with the external world. 

For more tips about writing introverts, refer to my post here. Today, let’s walk over to the other side of the spectrum.

Traits of an Extroverted Character

They gain energy from talking to others

Highly extroverted characters will feel sluggish/disinterested when they cannot talk. Once they start getting hyped up about a subject, their energy levels will spring back up. 

They are more prone to peer pressure.

Scientific research has proved this. In an experiment where subjects were constantly told that a blue box was green, extroverted brains were more likely to give in and actually perceive the box to be green. Introverts, on the other hand, stood by their original belief. 

They’re more sensitive to social cues – and have a strong tendency to align themselves with the eternal world. 

They’re good at being the center of attention

Let your extroverted characters naturally be the first to speak in conversations, the most talkative in the war strategy room, and the first presenting member of the class. 

Extroverted does NOT mean popular.

Talking more doesn’t get you on the good side of everybody – it can even be a downside (think your high teen movie bullies?)

Extroverts tend to like trying something new

Similarly, extroverts like talking to new people – which can make them likable, especially by introverted characters who want to strike up a conversation but don’t have it in them.

They use open body language

In a conversation, extroverts would display their hands, face the other person straight, make eye contact, smile, and/or lean closer. Slip in one or two phrases about what the extroverted character is doing with their body during a conversation.

This use of body language would also make them appear more confident and outgoing.

They are generally positive..

I say this with caution – of course, extroverts would be hurt by negative feedback. Unlike introverts who spend time mulling over a comment someone made and attacking themselves in the thinking process, Extroverts are more likely to brush off rude comments and not get their emotions poisoned during a heated conversation.

“There’s no such thing as a pure extrovert and introvert. Such a man would be in the lunatic asylum.”

The psychologist Carl Gustav Jung was the first to define this difference between introverts and extroverts. However, it is more of a spectrum rather than two separate doors. Most of us would fall closer to one end than the other – but some of us stand smack in the middle: ambiverts.

Traits of am Ambiverted Character

They don’t care whether they’re working in a group or by themselves. Your ambivert protagonist would genuinely like working with others, but also not hesitate to go off on their own.

Being the center of attention is fun, but they don’t like to last for long.

They “switch” based on the people they’re around. Introverts would also tend to be more talkative around closed ones, but ambiverts would have a more balanced ratio of people with whom they act more extroverted or introverted. 

They don’t fear small talk, but it tends to get boring. 

When they’re alone, they feel bored/restless, but when they’re with other people, they wish to go home. Think about that one friend who calls you to a party full of their friends, then suddenly disappears early on.

[milkykityway]

heyyyy

Love all of your readingssss 💕💕

If you're still accepting asks I hv one:

I had a question on Enhypen Heeseung - he’s been wildin a lot on stage and just totally exudes that frat boy ish, playboy , hot vibe. while on stage, but how much of his stage persona is actually his real personality? Is he actually non commital /playboy behind the scenes?

Thanksss 💕

XOXO

How real is Heeseung’s stage persona? Is he actually noncommittal or a playboy off stage?

**For entertainment purposes only — based on current energy, which may shift over time. I read with care , not assumption, and I honor what the cards reveal without judgment or distortion.**

Q1:How much of his stage persona is actually his real personality?

Ok! let’s look at how much of that is him VS the persona.

The Two of Wands reversed and Five of Swords reversed suggest that this bold persona isn’t 100% natural for him — it feels more like something he’s trying on, maybe because it fits the vibe Enhypen’s going for or just because he knows it works. He doesn’t seem like someone who genuinely thrives on attention or conflict. In fact, he’s probably not that wild in real life — it’s more of a curated energy.That kind of “player” energy isn’t really who he is deep down.

Now here’s the twist — The Empress and Two of Cups come in and say he’s actually super soft at heart. Emotional, affectionate, probably someone who loves being close to people he really trusts. Romantic vibes, for sure. He’s the type to act smooth on stage and then be a total sweetheart in private.

Judgment shows he’s going through some real growth right now. Like he’s reflecting on who he wants to be, what kind of energy he puts out, and how real it feels to him. So all this wild-boy energy? Could be a phase — or something he’s refining into a version that actually fits him long-term.

And the Four of Swords? when the lights are off, he’s quiet, reserved, probably introverted or someone who deeply values his rest,sleep,reflection, and space. Definitely not chaotic 24/7. He’s not wild all the time — this is someone who needs solitude to recharge and process life.

So, how much of the stage Heeseung is real?

About 40-50% real, 50-60% persona.The confidence and sensuality may be a true part of him — but the “playboy/frat boy” edge is exaggerated for effect. He’s a performer who knows what works, but underneath it, he’s sensitive, emotionally intelligent, and likely deeply romantic or serious about love. He’s not heartless — he’s layered.

Think: someone who can flirt and tease with swagger, but will text you “did you eat?” and mean it.

Q2:Is he actually non committal /playboy behind the scenes?

The Moon ,Three of Swords rx,Eight of Swords ,King of Pentacles,The Hierophant

Heeseung’s not really a playboy behind the scenes. He might come off a little distant or hard to read, but it’s mostly because he’s guarding his feelings. Looks like he’s still healing from some past stuff, so he’s careful about who he lets in.

He probably overthinks things and doesn’t always show what he’s feeling, which can make him seem a bit non-committal — but it’s more about protecting himself than actually not caring.

Actually, he’s got serious commitment relationship energy (King of Pentacles and Hierophant). When he actually does commit, it’s real loyal, grounded, and long-term. He just needs time, trust, and a sense of emotional safety to really let someone in. Not a player — just private, thoughtful, and slow to open up. But once he does, he’s solid.

Overall Heeseung feels like someone with two strong sides — one that’s charismatic, confident, and easy to love in the spotlight, and another that’s more private, grounded, and emotionally deep. He gives off that rare blend of showman and introvert — someone who’s fun and magnetic but also careful with his heart, serious when it counts, and probably deeper than most people realize at first.

Random Thought of the Day (VIII)

So, posh besties are finally canon, yay! Congratulations Annabel, you only had to die, get divorced, survive an assassination attempt and have about 4 or 5 mental breakdowns to make one (1) friend, that is progress! Hopefully the next one will take less effort.

That said, there are two things I want to dwell on here.

I should like to by your friend and Could we be friends?

This is not the first time we've seen Annabel ask or tell someone outright that she wants to be friends. It's the second.

Yes, Lenore is not only Annabel's wife, but -possibly- her first proper friend. And it's really interesting because these scenes show you two really different sides of her, even though it's a similar situation.

When she meets Lenore, Annabel comes across as a very confident person, full of confidence and absolutely charming. She is formal but approachable and straightforward about her intentions: "We can help each other".

On the other hand, at this point, Annabel is keeping the reasons she wants this friendship to herself, she seems nervous -even a little uncomfortable- and behaves much more awkwardly. She hesitates, chokes on words, doesn't quite know if what she's doing is appropriate.

If I had to think of reasons for this contrast, there are two.

First: Annabel when she has time to plan vs. when she has to improvise. She went looking for Lenore, probably had at least an entire night to think about what kind of person this mysterious woman locked in the attic might be and how to approach this conversation. On the other hand, this conversation with Prospero had to be pulled out of her sleeve after a lot of emotionally complicated moments, maybe it didn't occur to her that this conversation could actually happen, and she has no plan B if Prospero rejects the offer.

On top of that, Annabel knows better than anyone the risks of getting attached to someone in Nevermore.

Second, that the scene with Prospero functions in some way as a reflection of Annabel's feelings when she first meets Lenore: there's no reason to believe she was any better equipped to enter into a relationship with anyone at that point in her life than she is now. But in this scene, we -and Lenore- see what Annabel wants to show, the parts of herself that she may find most attractive or pleasing. Here, Prospero gets a glimpse of her awkward and uncomfortable side, and I'd bet that awkwardness was present in that first meeting with Lenore, it's just that she had a chance to think about it, rehearse it, and thus hide those sides of her character as well.

The thing that makes me think of it that way is this:

Annabel's first gesture to Lenore is to shake her hand, which she also mentions here:

She still doesn't remember doing it, but the idea behind it is more or less the same: Annabel associates this kind of formality with friendly or amicable gestures; a mixture of business dealings and affectionate promises.

Again, the same intention, but with a very different performance. One that makes me wonder what exactly her thoughs when she went to see Lenore.

The Introvert Who Adopts and the Extrovert Who Is Adopted

Another thing that got me thinking about this whole thing is that so far we've seen Annabel -a very introverted person- be the one to take the first step in getting into a relationship with someone: she's the one who asks the question.

The funny thing is that even though Lenore is an extrovert, it was the other way around, she never took the initiative to start a relationship with anyone: Annabel came to see her, Morella is her assigned roommate, Duke came to talk to her, Pluto was won in a Pokémon swap (and she didn't choose him, Ada threw him under the bus), and Eulalie and Bernice approached her first.

I can see why this would happen from Annabel's side; she's a person who moves in the shadows, someone who lives by appearances and isn't afraid to manipulate or deceive to get her way. Under this premise, explicitly telling the people she cares about that this is an honest relationship feels like something even necessary for the sake of the relationship and her own mental health.

But in thinking about why this is happening to Lenore, and going back and reading chapter 22 to do this little analysis, I remembered this scene:

And…I don't know about you, but I think I'm going to pin this one. For now.

[delulu247baby]

Uhh so this was supposed to be just a short post about how Basil is kind of the start to everything that happens pregame, and Kel is the one that starts everything during the game and also post-game to if you thing about it. Anyway, it kind of derailed into a short cactiflower analysis. So uh. Enjoy cactiflower shippers??? As someone who has never really been interested in them at all/had at the bottom of my ship list until this moment???

No, because why is no one talking about how kel & Basil are literally the cause and effect to everything.

Basil is the one that staged Mari's dead.

Which led to hero having MDD/Clinical depression and staying in bed for an entire year.

Which led to Sunny staying inside for 4 years and having Dissociative amnesia.

Which led to Aubrey lashing out and and becoming a delinquent

Which led to Basil eating literally himself alive with guilt & regret.

Which led to Mari being six feet under.

Which led Kel to be the one to pick up the pieces.

Which led to Kel being the one to get hero out of bed

Which led to Kel with his persistence, getting Sunny out of his house.

Which led to kel to understand Aubrey better. And understand his mistakes.

Which led to Kel probably being the one to save Basil from not only killing himself but possibly from killing Sunny to.

Which led to Sunny finally, being able to tell the truth. Which just couldn't have happened and probably never would have if it weren't for Kel. The others would have never found out that it was never Mari who chose to do it. That it was never Hero's fault it happened. That it was never Aubrey's fault it happened. That it was never KEL'S fault it happened. But a horrible, horrible accident that could've been prevented so much hurt, and so much pain, if the person that was there to witness it, the person that despite being a nervous wreck, was so full of love and care that it was overwhelming. Decided to call for help instead of giving in to the possessive need to protect his best friend, from any sort of discipline or anger and hate from others.

The cause and the effect.

The problem and the solution.

The anti-villain(did a bad, horrible & horrific thing to someone they loved, in the want to protect the person they love most.) & the anti-hero(did so many good, positive & amazing things, in the face of toxic positivity and accidental ignorance to the problems of others).

The flower(something so soft, fragile, beautiful and caring, something so full of love and yet something that can be so incredibly toxic and harmful and deadly.) And the cactus, (something sturdy, stubborn and resilient, something that helps not only you but itself survive in the worst of places & circumstances. And yet it's something you have to hurt yourself and the cactus just to get.)

Foil characters to each other, and yet, at the same time, Mirror characters to each other.

Basil and Kel. What a character to a character.

For a long time, they used to be my least favorite dynamic out of all of the Omori out of all the other dynamics the main 6 had, mainly because there just wasn't enough content of them interacting one on one, like, them having similar interests, having deep conversations, having moments where it was just the 2 of them, unlike the rest of the main characters. so there just wasn't enough for me to get interested in them in terms of a romanticship, QPR, or a friendship in general. And don't get me wrong, I was trying to look for other people that have analyzed them, or that ship them and their reasons why, but I just haven't really found anything so it just kind of left me to my own thoughts. And then boom. They're not only foils character to each other, but also mirror characters to each other. Character is so incredibly similar and yet so incredibly different

Confidence vs Anxiousness.

Extroverted vs Introverted.

Loud and outgoing Vs Quiet and softspoken.

And yet at the same time they're both

Kind. Compassionate. Understanding. Prone to worry. They both have a love of nature. Bugs and plans respectively. With a shared love of trees. A shared love of nostalgia. A shared love for memory. And a shared sense of justice. The only difference with that last one is that one view is more screwed and warped then the other.

Like oh my God. Why isn't there more content of them in canon. There should be more content of them. The idea around these 2 being the literal reason, the game even exists. The game wouldn't exist without Basil's interference. The game also wouldn't exist without Kel being the one to knock on your door. They are literally foil characters and mirror characters at the same time.

hiii👋👋👋 can i ask how u view the dynamics in the spetsnaz group? if its not too much just how everyone views each other:) im curious w the random implications of bale n rodion hooking up

ohhh i love thinking about the spetsnaz dynamics. Maybe too much. Im writing this in google docs like its a dissertation. BUT theres like 5 ways to think about this either with my brain or with my dick im going to use my brain first. AKA from a minimalshipping pov:

this is something ive said a bunch of times but i rly do think they get along very well. EVEN nikto-minotaur which is strained bc there is a clash of personalities. I wont get into like introvert vs extrovert nikto bc nikto is a special case every interaction with him is like on a day by day basis affected by his mood and just how hes feeling about someone/social interaction in general that week. his competitive nature + his toxic masculinity which was made worse by his torture especially makes minotaur like a target for him a little bit (as ive said in this post). minotaur rly is like a mirror that can make nikto really uncomfortable. And nikto makes Minotaur uncomfortable (as said here) bc he really understands nikto is struggling and he sees it but its a lot to put on someone. + just the chaotic and unpredictable nature of it is lowkey scary to maxim. i think overall their relationship is strained, not close, but also not actively hostile. Minotaur strikes me as someone who is very compassionate and emotionally pretty competent (not perfect but better than nikto for sure) who does his best to stay out of niktos way. They could easily commiserate about suffering from alcoholism but it would be the most base level acknowledgement of them both facing similar issues with drinking to cope with sadness (i imagine that while minotaur never pries in nikto harming himself he would speak up about nikto drinking. He knows what a slippery slope relapse can be (pragmatic as well bc a pissed off drunk nikto would not be any fun.)).

Rodion would fucking love minotaur though.. Hes fun and hes got a LOT of stories hes got cute kids hes very openmindedd he really does NOT judge (is nikto jealous? yes) is bale jealous? Yknow it does sort of suck to see your twin be the blossoming flower everyone flocks to. And this would be something hes felt since they were young (shameless plug) buuuttt. Bale has a presence in spetsnaz hes got a story to him and people Do really like him. So as an adult bale is very confident in his job and who he is so while theres some underlying tension there, overall the jealousy is very minimal. Also. Obviously. Theyve had some drama.

Minotaur (obviously, as he feels responsible) Really took it hard that bale “died.” i always wonder how this occurred to him. Like if he feels guilty bc it was his idea to join the military, or if it was some miscommunication during the mission which got bale hurt, Or the most dramatic and rly my favorite option: that it was some friendly fire that got bale downed. And when did he leave? Was he told bale wasnt moving and had died and he ran? Did they have to leave bale and the strain of that made him run? He didnt know bale was alive for 10 years he hid from his family for 10 years. That is some extreme trauma to go through and then find out the thing you were beating yourself up over wasnt even true. And bale has spent the past 10 years regaining his ability to walk + existing outside of what gives him the most confidence. All with his brother missing ! im sure theres some mannerisms and thought processes that they didnt see in the other before that they see now. But theyre twins. Twins r weird and insanely close. Their relationship is maturing into a beautifuw brotherhood.

And speaking of brotherhood. bale and nikto have a lot of respect for each other: theyve both been thru periods of recovery for massive injuries, theyre very skilled, & neither one of them are big on talking. I feel like they probably had a very short adjustment period of working with each other bc they just sort of clicked. Bale is like not scared of nikto at all (BUT HE IS AWARE HE CAN BE A DANGER). he can read his warning signs, he doesn't get in his way arbitrarily, and they have rly similar senses of humor. I think it helps as well that nikto doesnt see him as a threat bc while i do figure bale is more of the leader of spets on paper in the field, hes not like diehard intense about it he listens to ideas hes flexible uhh and he trusts niktos judgement. Any of nikto’s Weird Shit is just Nikto’s shit and bale doesnt gaf and nikto likes that. I DO ALSO THINK.. Bale knows the most about nikto’s past like hes been told things by kamarov that are important to know. And nikto likes that he never holds any of that against him and doesnt try to spread it. Hes a very respectful man so nikto respects him.

And it is a bit of like.. Like nikto isnt going to respect minotaur bc even tho hes a very large, skilled, grown man hes also not like hypermacho which nikto would just see as weakness. Whereas bale is very much A Guy like hes just a dude. AND RODION.. Rodion is a babbyy bro thats a baby on the field.. None of them Are babying him (well. Minotaur might a little bit. Hes lowkey motherly imo) but they are all very aware hes like. New to this more serious side of combat. And hes the medic ! he has field medic training ! that shit is stressful ! but he handles it and hes very excited for everything and driven. they literally would all love rodion.. Truly the sunshine of the group. Him and minotaur would click like nikto and bale click. they would hype each other up soo much they would have so much fun. AND BALE ?? rodion would be so excited to be working with bale. When he meets bale and bale is genuinely a cool guy, Actually straight up a cool guy, he would become even more enamored with him. Star struck for a long time before they become real friends where rodion doesnt put him on a pedestal.

And of course……. Nikto to rodion.. Like minotaur, rodion would initially be scared of nikto. Rodion really isnt small hes like 5’10 decently muscled but nikto is like fucking huge.. And he just Looks mean and he Would look meanly at rodion at the start like rodion is hyper. He talks a lot. Their first meeting (esp w how he would instantly get along super well with minotaur) nikto just thinks of him as a smaller, younger minotaur he would not be interested. AND hes a baby nikto doesnt want to be a fucking babysitter.. But rodion is very smart and much more laid back than he lets on he can really calm himself down to match nikto’s level. Little bit of a social chameleon bc hes a very charming guy. Rodion like. He Likes to be Liked. Its important to him to be fun and likeable. So he will act accordingly around nikto he’ll quickly learn his body language and how to read his expressions. I think even if they didnt fuck rodion would earn nikto’s respect and he would stop being scared of him relatively quickly.

But yknow. I want them to fuck. So. Uh rodion changing his energy level to match nikto would sort of like signal to nikto that he can hit. Genuinely that’s the entire crux of what gets them started. Rodion is smaller than him, more submissive socially than him, cute, womanly (in the eyes of a misogynist); nikto wants to fuck him. Its like dudes who think cashiers are hitting on them bc they smiled at him. Hes LUCKY that he also happens to be rodions type. Rodion likes a challenge and nikto is a CHALLENGGEEE. Nikto is so resistant and rodion is so hardheaded its the perfect recipe for a tumultuous relationship which makes it so rewarding for rodion to rein it in.

U might think like. Well. he likes bale. Bale is normal. It would be easier to fuck and try to date bale and it would but again rodion likes a challenge. Bale is just like.. Too casual about it all. + the element of hero worship i think changes how rodion feels about it like he just expects a bit of fun out of bale a little extra to their friendship and thats exactly what he gets. And it Is a lot of fun bale’s a good fuck and so is rodion they have good times. It just doesnt have the same fun drama as nikto… But. it would also be easy for them to treat fucking rodion as a competition which i dont think rodion would like bc its a bit disrespectful to him as a person. Like hes not a prize. And he doesn’t think of them as the same. I need 2 explore this in a fic its why i want to write some bale/rodion/nikto.

And minotaur, in the middle of all of this, is just worried for rodion overall. I Do Think he would be surprised bale gets involved at all bc its a very rocky situation between nr and it seems like more drama than bale would enjoy. But it is a little bit of bale’s own sense of dominance peeking thru like he just cant help it its a dude thing an alpha dog thing.. That minotaur just doesnt get into bc he has confidence in himself. And its kind of scary to minotaur that rodion gets in the middle of it. Its kind of scary to him that if nikto has a meltdown of some sort rodion will probably be the closest to him physically and could easily take the brunt of an attack that he rly wouldnt be ready for. Nikto genuinely trying to hurt rodion would be really bad. Hes very brutal. And minotaur keeps that in mind. But yknow so does bale he likes to keep an eye on it. Might as well get his dick sucked too. Maybe bent over or bend rodion over at the same time.

And also why i wanted to write more for beg! It kind of got away from me and its a lot to express. As seen in this probably very confusing ummmm 1,800+ word answer to an ask on tumblr dot com. I have a lot of thoughts thank u for asking me about them :)c i hope u were ready for all this + the additional reading. i think as a whole they work together great they all just yknow. Have their ups and downs. They work a lot of shit out together…. And then Nikto goes AWOL. planned or not

Do the love interests have a preference for a softer, more introverted MC vs a confident more outspoken one?

let it be known that just bc an LI has a preference, doesn't necessarily mean that's the "better" personality type for an LI! thinks of it as similar to how we all might have preferences for our 2d lovers but sometimes end up falling for an LI completely different from our usual type 🫰🏼

✨ LIs Personality Preferences

Kayn: confident and flirty (has a soft spot for easily flustered ppl tho)

Druk: doesn't have a preference between introverted versus extroverted but does prefer someone he can "bro out" with

Fenir: softer spoken! doesn't mind if ur awkward/shy either as long as its not like a cold/mean quiet

Etza: likes yappers tbh--i wouldn't say ppl who r too forward but they like someone they can vibe and listen to

Kuna'a: someone who puts up a fight or gives them "the thrill of the chase" tbh it's basically klaus from vampire diaries and his infatuation w caroline LMDLDOA

Aisa: someone introverted but not shy, if that makes sense! like they'll say what's on their mind but they only speak when they feel like they need to (i think aisa is the most off on who would should be their type tho LMAOO)

I love your writing so much and I was wondering if you could share I don’t know maybe your thought process or if you took classes or something I don’t know 👉🏼👈🏼 I’m obsessed with your writing style 😭

hi! thanks so much. i'm a little gobsmacked. i've struggled with my self-confidence lately and this is really kind.

i haven't taken writing classes since college. i only started writing fiction again two-ish years ago. i've had to unlearn and relearn a lot, and there is still so much room to grow and many ways to improve.

my writing style is an amorphous blob. i try to shape it a little differently for each project. with every fic i write, i am constantly asking:

flow: is it too choppy? is it too long? what's more important to the story in this moment—action or introspection?

vocabulary: would the character know/use this word to describe something/someone? does it fit the vibe to throw out a word like 'selachian'? or would 'shark-like' make more sense? this isn't always a hard-and-fast rule. if i want to emphasize the vibe, i go with the two-dollar word.

am i sticking to my theme? have i used a motif enough/too much? at what point am i sticking the audience's face into the message vs what do i want them to discover for themselves?

etc.

i don't know if that makes sense, so here are a couple examples:

down the hatch: funny, irreverent, and horny. badger (reader) has lost her marbles and manners. i favor shorter and punchier sentences, and a simpler vocabulary. less poetics. slang and swearing.

you want to hurl a pastry. a knife. a stick of dynamite. you couldn’t miss people, couldn’t want some around. not these dickhead invaders. john’s eyes say it all. underscore their intentions. they’re sticking around and digging in. potentially inviting more fucking soldier types underground.

reminiscent: literally a sensory story. runt (reader) is an omega with a condition that heightens her sense of smell to an unbearable degree, so i lean into a vocabulary that reflects that. she's also grieving, isolated, clever, and introverted, leading to a lot of self-reflection and observation.

You tiptoe and peer inside. It’s difficult to see in the dark, but you smell him. Leather and tobacco. Cedar and amber. Myrrh, tilled soil, and poppies. How on the nose for a soldier to smell like death itself. But poking through the thick, funereal brume is juniper and pine. The hours preceding heavy snowfall. It’s an odd combination, grounding and sharp, petrous and serene. A graveyard in the dead of winter.

cygnet, plucked: more romanticism, more poetics, but still simple. one goal was to emphasize shy's lack of experience with humanity, and to keep the horror of the premise rose-tinted.

The honeycomb drips viscous gold, pooling in the flat of a salted biscuit before spilling over your lips. John hums, pleased, pressing the next bite to your mouth. You chew, tasting the wildflowers.

general tips:

take ample breaks

read more

analyze your favorite author's works (i stare longingly at my mutuals)

find and study writing resources (@/peachesofteal has a great list)

pursue other creative hobbies to scratch the itch when you can't bring yourself to write

lmao, i am so sorry i carried on like this, but you caught me in a chatty mood. i hope this is helpful. i am definitely not an expert.

Sayeth others what they will, I am really enjoying the show. Santiago's face at Pelayo's betrayal is a poem. So was Marta's trying to deny the allegations. Santiago: She's an invert

Marta: Excuse this poor, uneducated man. The linguistic complexities of the Thesaurus Dex are lost on him. What he means is Introvert.

All in all I'm glad Santiago's demise happens the way it does. Karmic justice prevailed in a way that stings worse for him, I think. He bit off more than he could chew, filled with self-importance and secure in his triumph over Marta. Having counted on Pelayo to back him up only to discover he's free-falling, no safety net in sight? Oh, how the turns have tabled, as @midniteowlet loves to say. Could be we have not seen the last of him, though. Alas, mediocre men? Ever their cup overfloweth with confidence. Santiago vowing vengeance even as he's being dragged away by the Civil Guard? Someone failed to understand the assignment, or asses the situation. Damian reaching out to hold Marta's hand as a vow of support and loyalty? Be still my heart, they've come SO far. In my humble opinion, the growth of their relationship has been one of the best written character arcs on the show. Marta & Damian: Dairy? What dairy? He's obviously trying to milk this lie for all it's worth

Santiago: Diary ... D I A R Y

Pelayo: someone take him out to pasture … the inmates work at the dairy farm, across town

As for Pelayo himself. So far, a pleasant surprise, albeit he largely remains an unknown. He signs the business deal without making a fuss. He returns Marta's diary to her, tells her he's not read it and advises her to get rid of it, informs her his reasons for helping her are his own and that he won't ask for favors, especially given men don't count among her tastes? Well. He's been a gentleman so far, noble and altruistic. Remains to be seen if he remains one. It would seem, tomorrow's preview corroborates the theory that Pelayo flies the Rainbow flag too. His 'I prefer to form my own opinions about people ... especially people like the both of us who don't fit the social mores' ... it appears he's confessing something personal to Marta, something that might level out the playing field between them. To me it looks like he's out to gain her trust. For what purpose? Now that's the question.

If he's to become this show's Harry Cameron? I'm not opposed. Marta needs more allies and here's to hoping, as the show progresses, these two end up having a beautiful friendship. It really would be Marta hitting the jackpot in 1958: a sympathetic husband / best friend who ended up accepting her for who she was and a gay business partner / friend. Let's see where it all goes. Presently, he’s definitely trying to curry favour with Marta. For what reason, has yet to be determined. I will say? I am not liking Carmen at all these days. She acts like Tasio's mom, not his wife, as if he were incapable of making his own decisions. She's judging Marta as if she were a stranger and removes any and all accountability from Tasio. I keep repeating myself, but one questionable decision does not a questionable person make. Carmen being such a hot-head about this, while befitting her volcanic personality, is rather disappointing. I know she'll reconsider, but to think Marta is trying to buy Tasio's silence by ceding part of her shares in the company is ludicrous. Marta has always appreciated and supported Carmen within the company, and Carmen has had a front-row seat in witnessing Marta's fairness and kindness, her struggles and triumphs. I really need Fina to talk some sense into her. Volcano vs. Volcano. That ought to be a sight. Might I also hope Marta gives Fina the diary to read before she disposes of it? That they have a heartwarming conversation about it, growing even closer in their love, taking their intimacy to new heights? Because dispose of it she will, I think: sadly, it’s a smoking gun they can't afford.

Short rant long? Alright novelita. Lead the way. Let’s see what else you’ve got in store.
