stray kids reacting to you having bad cramps ↠ all members

genre: reaction, fluff word count: 3.5k warnings: discussion of menstrual cramps, pain, etc., swearing request: yes (anon)

a/n: hey, anon~ sorry this took me so long to write for you;;;; I decided to try a new style—it was nice to write this because I got to imagine how I’d like to be taken care of. (wow, can you tell I could use some cuddles right now?) I hope this is comforting to you! stay cozy✨

✧ masterlist in bio ✧

bang chan

bad cramps are a normal thing for you

and chan knows this all too well

but sometimes just explaining something doesn’t do it justice

your cramps are so bad that, a lot of the time, you can’t even get out of bed

bad enough that you can’t even scream

chan probably wouldn’t show his concern too much because he doesn’t want to worry you

he would be really concerned the first time you had horrible cramps around him, though

he’d slept over after a movie night and woke up to you curled around a pillow, whimpering

the first thought he’d had was that you were having a nightmare

and so he just gently rubbed your back a little to calm you

but you’d kept whimpering and occasionally curled more closely around the pillow

aaaand you’d finally managed to explain that you were having cramps

and couldn’t exactly move…

chan had quickly drawn a bath for you

(and added a rubber ducky just because he could aljhadfjlkshfjkh)

you’d kinda squeaked when he picked you up, not expecting to be lifted bodily out of your blankets

chan would just kiss the top of your head as he carries you to the bathroom and then gently help you out of your pajamas

the bath would be extremely hot but that was perfect (♡‿♡)

hhhhhh and he’d even add rose bath soap to the water since it was your favorite

(you’d end up with a tiara of bubbles on your head heheheh)

chan would wash your hair and rub your back, massaging your sore muscles

even though the pain is only in your low back and abdomen, you still manage to hold tension in the rest of your body

and then he’d join you in the shower to help you rinse off

he’d hold you because the pain is just so bad and you can barely stand

and if you needed more than just a massage, he’d be happy to oblige

sometimes the release of pleasure helps ease the pain, too

chan just wants you to feel good and to be relaxed

after helping you dry off, chan would bundle you into warm clothes

it was always important, you’d said before, to stay warm

he’d even brush and braid your hair (if you have long hair, that is)

the little tingles that shoot through your scalp when he plays with your hair feel amazing

chan would kiss your cheek and your neck as he works his fingers through your hair

he insisted that you needed to stay hydrated, sometimes having to cajole you into drinking water because you could barely move

he’d want you to be as comfortable as possible

he’d make a blanket nest for you

he’d even put a heating pad or hot water bottle in there for you

pain meds and water would be close at hand

and whatever food you were craving

and he’d be extra affectionate

so many hugs and cuddles

just hugs all day long

maybe it’s just because you’re in pain

but chan’s hugs when you’re having horrible cramps are somehow different from his usual ones??

like he just envelopes you even more than usual and doesn’t let go

you’d just burrow into his arms even further

he’d give you one of his wonderfully big and comfy sweatshirts to wear

it smells like the soap he uses and just his general chan-ness

in other words, the best smell e v e r ㅠ_ㅠ ( ◡‿◡ ♡)

and just having him there with you would make everything better

lee minho

he would also be really loving and caring

and totally calm, not at all surprised

he’s just so even-keeled, you know?

would probably insist that doongie, soonie, and dori sleep with you

minho: “cats are totally medicine! their purring will help!”

they’re super snuggly anyway and just hunker down next to you

and minho is just a fourth cat, honestly

he kinda just curls up with you, massaging your low back if you have cramps that ache there

or just resting a warm hand on your belly to help soothe the pain

he’d get you a fluffy blanket and some orange juice (for the vitamin c to help your muscles relax and to reduce the inflammation!)

and definitely a heating pad or a hot water bottle

if you have two hot water bottles, he’d make a sandwich out of you and the water bottles

(so he could eat you up later ;) )

minho would insist that you take naps, holding you to his chest so you’d fall asleep more easily

he’d also queue up episodes of a show or several movies for the two of you to watch if you were home for the day

if you were at work and had super bad cramps, minho would bring you whatever food or pain meds or anything you’d need

he’s the kind of person who would just drop everything to take care of you, you know? (((we know, lee know alfkjafkjshjhk i’m so sorry i had to)))

he’s just a little ball of love and would want you to feel better

he’d kinda rock you back and forth in his arms if you have a particularly bad spasm of pain

like chan, minho would also get you into the shower to help you feel better

he’d have to convince you to even get out of bed, tho...

“come on, y/n. you’ll feel better if you take a shower. i promise”

“hhhhhhh i don’t wanna get up”

“y/n…..”

“mmph”

*minho grabbing your hands and tugging* “sweetheart, please.” *tug* "UGH why do you have to act like dead weight now of all times. geez, y/n.”

“...........”

*tugging intensifies* “get! up! i’ll drag you into the shower, you dork. you know i will”

“fiiiiiiiiiine”

he’d still have to pretty much drag you to the bathroom

AJDFHKGDJFGK

minho gently stripping you out of your clothes would kinda be like trying to dress a baby, since you wouldn’t want to move

he’d just hold you in there, rubbing soap over your body and shampoo through your hair

the hot water and minho holding you, honestly, works as well as any pain med

thank goodness ｡ﾟ(ﾟ∩´﹏`∩ﾟ)ﾟ｡

and at any time whatsoever, minho’s gentle smile would just make your day so much better

and you know he’d pepper you with kisses all over

(i mean all over)

bc it just always make you feel the most contented ever hhhhhh

and you deserve to not be thinking about pain

bc pain fucking sucks;;;;

and he’d just tell you how much he loves you so much you don’t even know how to respond

and it kinda makes you wanna cry

but from happiness

alkfjhskjhsklhjs

VERY SOFT

seo changbin

changbin would be pretty calm and would know exactly what to do

just matter-of-fact about taking care of you

you’d told him you get really bad cramps before

but the first time you had really bad cramps around him, he was a little freaked out

he hadn’t realized that period cramps could be that bad

you’d come home and pretty much collapsed on the couch

he’d thought you were just tired

but when you let out a strangled scream, changbin was;;;; um;;; a bit worried

okay not just worried

c o n c e r n e d (⊙ __ ⊙);;;;

maybe even a little scared??

he didn’t want to let on that he was worried about you

hearing you kinda just whimpering and crying out in pain tore at his heart

changbin would give you all the stuffed animals you have

(gyu would also make an appearance)

just pile them up around you “for emotional support”

and then he’d wrap his arms and legs around you to cuddle you close

definitely your basic case of:

“binnie please let go”

“no”

“binnie i can’t breathe…”

“oh,,,” *loosens hold slightly*

akjfhgaljkhajkhg

he’s literally just a cuddle bug hhhhhhhh

and I MEAN

THE BIGGEST CUDDLE BUG EVER

OH MY GODS

he’d rub your belly or your back, depending on where it hurt

and just want to make everything better

changbin would be the one to give you a full body massage if your cramps are bad

he’d insist on doing it, actually

even if you’re whiny and complain, he knows that once you’re relaxed you’ll feel a million times better

he’d concentrate on your low back, pressing his wonderfully warm hands into your muscles

and slowly but surely you’d feel the pain and tension release

hhhhhh he’s probably really good at giving massages ｡･ﾟ(ﾟ⊃ω⊂ﾟ)ﾟ･｡

ALSO!!! can you just imagine how warm binnie would be cuddling?

HHHHHHHH

you wouldn’t even need a heating pad

he’s all the warmth and comfort you’ll ever need

aldfjkahjlskhsl (♡‿♡)

and his muscles would be the comfiest

they’re all so big but would be so squishy when at rest

hhhhhh just imagine it

laying your head on his chest with his arms around you

the softest oh my god

changbin is so kind and gentle that he’d just want to make sure you’re okay and be really soft

HHHHHHHHHHH

once you were feeling a bit better, he’d probably tickle you a little

just so you’d release your tension

what a cute goofball

UGH HE’S JUST SO SOFT

he’d sing you to sleep while threading his fingers through your hair

and his low raspy voice would be so calming and lovely

binnie’s go-to medicine is just literally just all the cuddles ever ((well, and pain meds, etc., of course, bc cramps are horrible and evil))

hwang hyunjin

this boy would be just a little panicky

ya know, jUst A litTtLE

you’d suddenly doubled over while you were out shopping

for matching couple sweaters

(you know, the horrible kind that could only be worn ironically or by people so pretentious that they don’t know the meaning of irony)

and hyunjin is all

“OH MY GOD Y/N (＠_＠) (」ﾟﾛﾟ)｣

BABE

ARE YOU OKAY

HHHHHH

WHAT DO YOU NEED

WHAT CAN I DO;;;;;;;;;”

he’d kinda flutter around you like a moth

all worried eyes and nervous energy

he really wouldn’t know what to do

bc FUCK???!!

CRAMPS??!!!! ┗(｀ﾟДﾟ´)┛ﾟ

not his forte

“i just need to go home, jinnie. i’ll be fine”

((yeah... lie thru your teeth y/n;;;; ))

he’s still panicky as fuck

when you get home you kinda just collapse on the bed

hyunjin’s all “OOOOH CUDDLE TIME YES”

which was okay for like 2 mins until a g o n y

“jinnie, i need pain meds. NOW” (x﹏x);;;;;

hyunjin would bound off the bed all “I got this, babe!

and then realize that he had no idea where you kept the pain meds strong enough to deal with menstrual cramps

“uuuuh where are they . . .” (⌒_⌒;)

*y/n flailing in the general direction of the medicine cabinet*

so once he found them, he’d get you a glass of water and help you sit up to take the meds

all better?

NOPE

you’d need a hot water bottle and blankets

oh and chocolate. lots of chocolate

hyunjin would be so damn determined to make you feel better

to do anything he could bc you seemed in so!! much!!! pain!!!!

ten minutes later you’d find yourself practically swaddled in blankets on the couch with Hyunjin curled around you like a fucking squirrel or something

just let him take care of you

he’s doing his best;;;

he’d want to make you all the food you’d ever want

but would keep getting distracted

bc all he wants to do is just kiss you a bunch

and tell you how cute you are

bc, let’s face it, y/n, you’re pretty cute aldsjfhgsjfkhalhg

even though he isn’t sure what to do at first, hyunjin is actually quite good at taking care of you

if you’re at his place, you’d definitely end up with kkami on your lap

bc why wouldn’t you want a sweet pup giving you all the love when you’re in pain?!!

hhhh so sweet

han jisung

oh jisung, my sweet precious squirrel boy

jisung would probably be a lot like hyunjin alfjahkjdfh

kinda panicky bc he doesn’t know what to do

really surprised that someone could have cramps that bad

it’s clear to him that, while he’s felt pain before, it was nothing like what you’re dealing with

how the hell do you do this every. single. month.

keeps telling you you’re badass

but,,,,, um;;;;;

Y I K E S

*queue fluttering, panicky hands*

“hhhhhh baby what can i do;;;;;”

y/n: *indistinct pain noises* “i’m fine”

“yoU’rE NOt fiNe!!!”

“ji really it’s okay. i’m used to this”

(you say as you’re curled on the couch, clutching just below your belly with a look of concentrated pain on your face)

“HHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

he’d end up bring you soup and some water

bc soup helps everything, right?

and all the pain meds he could get his hands on

there would be like 10 random bottles of every kind of pain relieving medicine tumbling out of his arms

“i didn’t know what would work;;;;;”

he’s just a sweet lad

what else was he supposed to do?

you’d manage a weak smile before another stab of pain would decide to hurtle through you like a fucking bullet train

at this point, jisung would definitely be feeling sympathetic pain

(not fun;;; )

he’d help you sit up and take the meds

then c u d d l e s

literally just all the cuddles in the world

jisung would hold you tightly, arms and legs wrapped around you, stroking your hair to get you to fall asleep

not that you’d be having any trouble with that, since you would be snuggled by

The Master of Spooning™ himself

even though he’s comforting you and helping, jisung can’t help but be glad that he gets to cuddle you for a long time

and when you felt angry at your body for giving you such horrible pain he’d hold you even tighter

then find some way to make you laugh

laughter is very important in jisung’s world (and, therefore, your world)

and you do find that it takes your mind off the pain, if only a bit

it’s almost like clockwork when you get bad cramps

same time of the month, same kind of pain

(you’ve definitely cursed every single god you can think of for this)

so he knows in the small, secret recesses of his mind, that he’ll get to cuddle the heck out of you at those times

he’d just smother you with kisses to wake you up to make sure you’d take more pain meds

okay;;; he’d smother you with kisses all day, too

and, like a cat kneading, he’d massage your belly and back to relax your muscles

you’d felt a little better after that

resting your head on his chest and hearing his heartbeat would be incredibly calming

by the end of the day, jisung would just hold you on top of him

like you’re a little otter and he doesn’t want to lose you

alkjfghakjlfhahjfgaklhga (●´ω｀●)

lee felix

felix would be amazingly casual about the whole thing and just ready to go

like;;; this boy would just immediately pick you up, kiss your forehead, and carry you to bed

need pain meds?

he’s already put them in the drawer of your bedside table as soon as you’d started your period

need a heating pad?

he’s got like five—all different shapes, sizes, whatever you need

(you’re not quite sure where or when he gets all this stuff, but you’re not complaining)

all he’d want is to just cuddle you

he’d turn those big, soulful eyes on you like you’re the best thing he’s ever seen

((which you are (≧◡≦) ))

and even if you’re curled on the bed in mildly stinky pajamas

he’d still just curl up with you and try to make everything okay

felix would just ramble on about anything and everything to try to distract you

yes, you’d probably be witness to Felix’s Interpretive Dance Time

.....whether you wanted to or not

(you secretly like it when he’s that silly alkfsjhajkfh)

and, of course, felix would make you breakfast (even if it wasn’t morning)

an absolutely delicious meal of all your favorite foods, even if they’re not normal breakfast food

((but honestly, what even is normal breakfast food??? just eat what’s yummy!))

since he’s been practicing baked goods, he’d also make you a lil cake just to cheer you up

and would try to ice it, which would come out really cute

he’d put “to my smol bean: UR CUTE ILY”

bc we all know felix is a cute dork who’d totally put something like that on a cake

hhhhhhhhhh

would probably call chan or changbin just to make sure he’s not forgetting anything for taking care of you

he wouldn’t forget anything for you, anyway, bc he’s just that committed to making you feel better

oh and you’d definitely watch like 15 children’s movies in a row (okay maybe not in a row, but still)

bc what’s better than laughing at the antics of various animated characters?!

and singing along to the songs would be really fun and take your mind off the pain

it would make you breathe properly and relax!

yay!!!

felix would probably act out some of the scenes to his favorite movies beside the screen just so you could check his accuracy

AALKJFHGAJFH

and if all you wanted to do is sleep, felix would curl up with you on the bed or couch

and run his fingers through your hair and down your back to soothe you

and give you smol sweet kisses before falling asleep

kim seungmin

seungmin is also quite practical

when you told him that you get excruciating cramps, he immediately went and researched everything about menstrual cramps

potential causes for especially bad cramps

what to do for someone who’s having bad cramps

what not to do when someone’s having bad cramps

and he’d immediately gone out and bought what seemed like a year’s supply of pain meds, chocolate, three heating pads, and three hot water bottles, as well as extra pads and tampons

so the first time you were together and you kinda just went “aaghhh” in pain, seungmin immediately ran to his closet to get All The Things

you’d given him a quizzical look when he came back into the living room

he had a bag that looked, somehow, Official

although, most of seungmin’s things look Official~

(he’s just that organized and meticulous alkjfhsjfghsh)

so when he’d opened the bag, you had to stifle a giggle

in the bag, seungmin had put everything you’d need for when you had your period

hhhhhhhh what a sweetheart (✿´ ꒳ ` )

and if you need space, he’d just be in the other room minding his own business until you demand cuddles

he’d just absentmindedly give you head pets while the two of you watch a show or something

or he’d read to you from whatever book he’d been reading

or that you’d been reading (▰˘◡˘▰)

would make you tea~

you’d probably end up cuddling his little puppy stuffed animal at some point

um;;;; seungmin’s potential fathering instincts would probably come out a little bc he just feels so much affection for you

and is just in CARING MODE

if you’re out together and you have cramps, you’d find yourself whisked back home for a day of rest

if you can’t go home, seungmin would just get you the proper pain meds and some water

he probably keeps meds for you in his wallet (´ω｀♡)

all seungmin wants is for you to not be in pain

bc it hurts his heart

he doesn’t exactly show it a bunch on the outside to other people

but he’s really caring

most of all with youuuu~~~

he wants to ki— kick whoever decided that cramps could be this bad

like what the fuck, man;;;;;

he’d be very encouraging as he talks to you, since he doesn’t want you to worry or anything

he’s knows you worry enough about why you get bad cramps

whenever the pain would get so bad that you want to cry and feel like you’re going to lose your mind, seungmin’s bright smile would bring you back to earth

he’d reassure you that everything’s okay

and kiss the top of your head as he holds you (*/ω＼)

yang jeongin

jeongin’s remedy to cramps is stuffed animals

all the stuffed animals

all of them

e v e r

you both have a propensity for stuffed animals, characters, random objects, etc.

you even have a stuffed strawberry that’s the size of your torso

so jeongin would just pile up all the stuffies and a bunch of pillows

and settle you in them

you’d feel like you were drowning in stuffed animals ajkfshgkjfhg

like felix, he’d probably secretly call chan just to check that he’s doing the right thing for you, too (⁄ ⁄>⁄ ▽ ⁄<⁄ ⁄)

jeongin would make you tea and bring a pot of it to your bedside table

(just herbal tea, not caffeinated bc he doesn’t want you to get dried out)

he’d bring everything you could ever want in tea:

honey, milk, lemon, sugar

the tea would be reeeeeally yummy

and the warmth would help calm your nerves that had been on high alert since the night before when the cramps had started

jeongin would curl up with you and just stroke your hair

he’d turn on a show the two of you had been watching

a comedy, of course

why would you want to watch anything else while in pain??

okay so as calm as all this seems, he’d be fucking panicked as hell inside

like how is supposed to deal with this???

welp….. might as well just pretend it’s any other day

and you just happen to need more cuddles

he finds it really cute when you are b a b y

and when you’re having horrible cramps….

yoU ARE B A B Y!!!!!!

the cutest ever

like holy shit

jeongin would be completely floored by how cute you are

you’d just kind of nuzzle into his stomach as you curl up next to him

of course, he’d also make sure you remember to take pain meds and all

sometimes he’d be a little annoying about it but not by much~

just enough to get you to WeAR sOcKs Y/N!!

he’d totally be the one to kinda pounce on you and carry you outside to sit on the lawn

not one but two blankets would cushion you from the grass and any bugs~

he’d probably bring all the stuffed animals he’d piled on you earlier outside

“they’ll get lonely!!”

…….right

definitely not an excuse to throw the radish plushies he got you at your head…..

((you’d get him back, though, with a few well-aimed charizards or something))

but if you needed him to be serious, he would be

bc, really, he cares about you so much he feels like his heart’s gonna burst (*♡∀♡)

An Innocent Sin & the good gay flashback ft. my descent into madness

I wasn’t sure if I should post this but I mostly want it archived so here we go. This is from like,, September?

So. “An Innocent Sin” is a dumpster fire unlike anything I’ve ever seen. I don’t remember why I decided to read it. maybe I was crazy. Either way... I read it. It soon started to touch upon (very very outlandish) sexual abuse which I thought was interesting. (the angst, not so much some of the wack circumstances surrounding it)

ANYWAY. at some point... we have a flashback. And not just that. It has a gay character.

And it turns rly gay. which mind you, is still in a het smut manwha (that has a “gay” side couple, but still!)

And it destroyed me.

For those who want to read it because I genuinely think the flashback is a decent bit, it’s all the bonus chapters between chapter 77 and 78 I think. There’s a part before that too, but idk where exactly anymore. (It’s on lezhin! or your platform of choosing)

I don’t THINK you’ll need any other knowledge to get the flashback bit? but it’s been a while.

Below the cut (rip mobile users), you can read all of my amazing reactions (all of these were text messages, for context - but I took most of the replies and convos about other things out). Post is also tagged as long post. :))

(i’m serious, this is fucking long)

__________

Here I am. Liking the gay flashback character. Feck. Main dude is still straight but idk it's cute pff

This is a mess. The girl white hair likes, likes black hair, maybe, but thinks white hair is attractive

What just happened is sth I'd like to know too pff He's so cute tho omg. Watch me melt Can we stay in this flashback before everything got perverted af and before white hair gets assaulted all the time I would send an eyebrow emote if I could Context: he's asking he says it again

Ik it's not mutual but loookkk he's so sweet. He's kinda rude in present time, can't we stay in this flashback forever

I never asked for gay, never expected gay but I got gay

This story is trash why am I still reading it shdhhd

He caught his mom cheating. And now she's forcing him to watch??? What is thissss Well adoptive mom But still sudhdidu what Bitch how dare YOU exist

Save my babyyyy

Yay sister that's not yet a rapist to the rescueee

This flashback is actually just nicer in every way let's just stay here This is a super long flashback btw Idek anymore what triggered it

Okay I think I'm gonna make the sensible decision and let this dumpster fire rest and just go sleep

It was very wild. I kinda wanna see white hair get therapy but it has 90 chapters and I'm at like 30... So I'm very concerned this is gonna be very dragged out. Idek if it's even finished ahahsududi - but I do kinda wanna see where it goes and see more cute Noah (white hair) so. Here we are.

yeahhh like i was down for the sexual abuse angst but then the mother killed the adoptive son's mother bc the dad had a thing for her?? and it was someone a person studying with white hair knew and so he's investigating and I'm like how did this turn into a crime organisation kind of plot

hhhhhhh i... i appreciate these horny things also tackling abuse but it always kind of gives me weird vibes to have both, especially when its very horny. And when people are horny to people who've been abused. Idk but I'd assume... you might try NOT to tie them up if they're frequently bondaged during their assaults. I'm just.... disjdksdj hello?? am i weird?? why are they fine with it???

also this manwha is so wild, theres this murder mystery investigation thing and then theres just a couple doing honry stuff sprinkled in between and i'm like OKAY

they rescued a guy in their basement and he's understandably very traumatized and they're trying to question him cut to our main couple trying bondage which i still dont understand bECAUSE HE'S A RAPE VICITM WHY ARE YOU OKAY WITH THIS the ones questioning arent the main couple of course but idshkjds

like im glad he's somehow okay with all this horny stuff despite his trauma and im glad he can be happy and have a nice relationship but DO WE NEED THIS MUCH OF IT he's very cute tho

i like that even when i try other stuff lezhin recommends me it still has large amount of gay in it

[mei: i mean... that's pretty great, if you ask me]

I mean I agree, I'm enjoying the gay eheheh these tonal whiplashes there's not even that much white space between the panels fhjd nvm it just turned horny goddamn it can there be 1 chapter without fucking? okay, there were the flashbacks

WE ARE BACK IN FLASHBACKS but im not getting the gay relationship, sad

OH WAIT AM I GETTING GAY COMFORT bc thats very good too

OH NNOOO this turned sad very quickly

I'M SORRY IM SPAMMING BUT THIS IS JUST ANGSTY

I'M :((((

different species confirmed

I rly like them :((( I like the current girl too but it's just..... very horny with her. the flashbacks are nice [current tori edit: she’s very unloyal idk why i said I liked her] im weird HHHHH RIPPP

someone help him he looks so saddddd

not sure if thats the most healthy relationship but I'LL TAKE IT

AWWW black hair's mom cooks mild food for them bc Noah can't eat spicy food :((( im soft

PFFF

I LOVE THE FLASHBACKS :(((

awww

i feel like theyve done much more bonding than noah's current relationship. I mean yes I think its cute when she comforts him, too, but they rarely do anything besides be horny together

OH OH THEY'RE KISSING

best buildup, honestly

the position is hornier than I'd like later here goes hope it stays cute

D-did someone just respect the word "stop"??? I am amazed

i think you might uh. have some trauma stuff too so yknow

Dohye is a little dramatic in his reassurance but it's all rly cute so I'm :(( I like them a lot pls stay like this getting invested in flashbacks is always like: ik it wont stay but pls stay like this

hELP

chapters ending in "i wanna touch him" is never good. I'm scared. Oh okay he didnt do anything. PHEW. He's already better than the girl, can't they just end up together lmao

[Noah was jealous]

w-why do you look so evil dohye haukdhjs

oh. oh no. the horny is starting. pls dont... just be cute forever

DOHYE NO YOU WERE SO DECENT WHY ARE YOU LYING ABOUT KOREAN TRADITIONS TO GET HIM TO DO STUFF HORNY STUFF TOO NO PLS STOP I JUST- WHEEE TvT the manwha is actually less visually horny in the flashbacks but im not sure if its bc its BL which isnt rly the genre of the manwha or if its bc they're still kids basically, which... I'd respect the latter, tho I'd prefer it to be like this constantly haha

okay. he's not respecting stop anymore, but it's also more of embarrassed nature more than "no i dont want this stop" so maybe i can forgive it. Still losing points, but he hugged him and it was sweet so HHHHHHHHHHH NOT SURE HOW I SHOULD JUDGE THIS SITUATION

They [Noah’s family] forbid him to visit his friends house I AM DEVASTATED

understandable they're a rapist, a fucked up murderer mother and a father with a thing for younger women so

tho he dont know any of that but yknow he's so pretty just fucking end me on the spot

hooo

they are boyfriends and ik from the future that his sister is gonna ruin it allll she has those drugs that make visual imaginations feel like they rly happened to the person (dont know if thats real but holy fuck its terrifying) and she's used it before to say that Noah assualted her. and im pretty sure shes gonna use it again bc there was a panel of Noah remembering Dohye being uhhhh intimate with her and thats why Noah began to hate him and im so sad im not ready for it. bc he's denied it in the future and i honestly couldnt see it happening even before that or she drugged Dohye, i guess thats a possibility too

[current tori: oh girl, it’s neither and it’s wack]

which if, btich you gonna die even more enough rambling, more reading. this makes me so sad but also spicy

on the manwha note, he thinks Noah doesnt like his family bc he's adopted and doesnt feel comfy which....... fair enough i suppose. and he's so cute im gonna melt just looK AT THIS

SHUt UP, IM GONNA CRY

OH MY GODDDD he ate like ice and gum and all that, and Dohye assumed it was bc of the more spicy food and got rl worried, but he was just trying to get the smell out of his breath bc he wanted to kiss him ukhsdjs HOW CAN YOU BE SO CUTE HELLLOOOOOOOOO

look at them. LOOK AT mY BABIESSSS

how am i ever gonna care about the main couple again aww he-he wanted to go to the same highschool as him :((( im sad bc i know its not gonna happennnnnn

[mei: also at this point, you're literally never gonna care about them. i don't even know the main couple that well and i honestly don't care about them whatsoever.]

WAIT NO they're actually going to the same school awww ik it wont take long until sister fucks it up for them but for now theyre so sweet ohmygodddd

cant he move in with them, fuck his family honestly

dohye he's not a fucking pokemon iukhsdjs

oh. its. turning horny i am displeased with this development but i guess its natural for their relationship however COULD YOU DO IT AT HOME AND NOT IN SOME DUSTY SMALL ROOM how do ppl do this i like that the comments too are just "... is anyone still carng about the other girl?" sakjds

this is the best 3 panels in existence.

h-he just took your hand dohye idk what to tell you

[mei: "you blush at everything i do" god if that isn't me, idk what is]

awww its cute dohye is getting bonus points bc he invited Noah over while his mom wasnt home, they watched some sexual stuff and he DIDNT try to do anything what is this where can i get more of this

"well im not okay"

MY BABIESSSS

they still didnt do much btw they're just kinda exploring and its honestly nice TvT I dont want this to ever endddd

[Dohye sees Noah’s sister and approaches her] N O

N OOOO

this is the starttttt of something.......... TERRIBLEEEE

:((( babyyyy

I AM EMO

Noah was drugged im sure. hes having dreams and waking up in pain and the sister is asking doyhe over I DONT LIKE THISSSSSSS OH HE DECLINED

OKAY OKAY he saw him with her again but it was from behind and im not sure if it rly happened??? oh no this is terrible. Noah :((( poor child

i am so emo about this

[reminder he’s been abused TvT]

[the sister: “Don’t you want to know why?”]

i will. murder someone he called to ask her to delete his number btw what is this manwha but this is just gonna make it that more tragic when whatever happens that breaks them apart :(((

he's such a good bf but Noah just wont TELL him his side I'M SO SAD

I AM SO SAD

It cant end im actually tearing up nooo you were so cuteeee and happpyyy

[*sister is telling dohye to come to the gym hall*]

what else is she gonna do she already teared [current tori: ahem... T O R E] them apart THAT'S NOT DOYhE. THATS NEVER HIM. OH MY GOD. is it a look alike??? damn, she's dedicated to just. ruining it, huh

I’M

I’M SO SAD

now he's switching SCHOOLS NO NOOOOO how will i ever find happiness againnnn NO they're misunderstanding further they're not talking properly i mean i get it but oh my god

I'M :(((

NO NOOOO pls make up in the future at least omg he tried to clear it up tooo ahhh i dont even have hopes for them getting back together but i just i want them to clear it up im crying first manwha to make me cry and it's this dumpster fire ahaha maybe a little too bc it kinda hit a little close to home i guess but goddamnn ittttt they were so cuteee and so happy and AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

OH NO. Noahs getting drugged and assaulted. And he's realizing it happened before, he just forgot. I am. so sad it's not horny drawn either which i appreciate but MY HEART NO

N O DONT YOU DARE MAKE THIS WORSE

Im. gonna cry more

Doyhe kept an eye on him im so emo :(( but he thought he was doing well enough and gave up.... Im im so sad no i want you to make up and get back together its all just a stupid........... MEHHHH will i ever find sth like this flashback again

[mei: p-probably not, no]

i am so devasted i dont even wanna go back to the main couple just fucking. i want this relationship back :(((( but i guess the investigation might end up somewhere so hhh hhhhhhhhhhhhhh the baker manwha had a similar flashback feeling so. i just gotta find more of that haha

BUT THIS WAS SO SAD??? im so emo

[Dohye got kidnapped // the flashback commentary stops here but I think my descend into madness is pretty funny too]

OH YEAH THAT HAPPENED. THE FLASHBACK WAS SO LONG I FORGOT. NOOOO SAVE HIM. JESUS CHRIST PLS JUST ONE GOOD THING

its. actually rly smart to have another, more focused on them flashback, before the arc where he gets kidnapped by the rapist murder household so. good job. from a meta perspective but also NO but also. maybe theres hope for them making up at least after all :(((

[main couple kissing] this is. very weird now. but im glad he has someone, he deserves it but dohyeeeee

and switching to sex, YET AGAIN now i wanna see this EVEN LESS THAN I DID BEFOREEEE it's even.... a threesome now with one of the other characters why are you like this why can't you be. like in the flashback i am so upset HAHHHHH WHEEEZEEEE

I am just stop fucking jesus christ PLEASE I DONT WANNA SEE IT ANYMOREEEEE

im just stop the horny pls just tell me who that new guy is and why doyhe likes him so much

[mei: this manwha is a fucking mess but at least we got your lovely commentary out of it]

dhsuksj thanks i feel honored at least i got cute BL out of it before everything went [back] to shit

[mei: THAT TOO]

[...]

tbh im getting kinda mad about doyhe... i dont... feel like he'd just fall instantly for a guy who looks like Noah... but eh not my character

i just want closure for dohye at this point, fuck everything else ... not literally pls theres already too much of that

pls get it together for like 1 chapter is the investigation even still happening i am so confused save dohye plEASE wait what i have less than 10 episodes left Dont tell me this shit isnt even wrapped up yet

[Dohye is having a breakdown over the Noah double not coming to see him anymore]

yeah i this... doesnt feel like Dohye... at all... Even when Noah was rejecting him he was just kind of... taking it with some humor and maybe he was a little desperate and risky sometimes but... oh well... i do want him to get better but... im having a hard time believeing this development??? he never seemed overly anxious or anything. but who knows what else they did to him. Sister can still go fuck off tho

[...]

i mean. i liked the flashbacks a lot honestly??? it stayed simple and focused on the dynamics and less trying to balance smut with murder plots

[dm partner: NO THAT'S WHAT I MEAN LIKE CLEARLY THE AUTHOR CAN MAKE A GOOD STORY SO I'M JUST... CONFUSED AS TO WHY THEY DIDN'T STICK WITH SOME SOFT, FLUFFY BL ROMANCE MANWHA AND DECIDED TO MAKE WHATEVER THIS IS INSTEAD ]

okay i dont care bc dohye is currently getting assaulted nobody asked for this why i just. this is terrible. he was... so sweet. he doesnt deserve this. nobody does of course but jesus christ pls someone save him at least its not horny visually, one saving grace

ah... the assult is back to being depicted horny-ly thank you for nothing

[... removed some general confusion about the plot]

YES. SOME SHIP FOOD.

i am. suffering i mean i cant stop but GOD

okay so apparantly. the sister. has just an arsenal of people who look like other people Dohye, then Noah... and even Noah's GF??? this is ridiculous??

one good message

why

did you feel the need to add that [actual tired rage]

im gonna die this manwha is gonna kill me im laughing but im suffering oh hes arrested great and thats the end and the last update was in january of this year

why AS IN NOAH IS ARRESTED nobody who actually did anything is arrested What is this why is this AHHH I at least wanted the complete-ness of finishing this but now I'M JUST SUFFERING

[ mei: I MEAN TO BE FAIR I'D BE SUFFERING TOO BC JUST... WHAT THE FUCK I HAVE?? MANY QUESTIONS?? AND MANY CONCERNS BC THIS MANWHA IS JUST... AN EXPERIENCE ]

its an experience allright WELL

_______________

yup that’s it.

in my head, in a twist of events Dohye and Noah make up and are actual endgame. Something like that must exist out there but I won’t ask because it’d destroy the surprise and ruin the point.

That’s it.

Have a nice day.

gone days (han jisung x reader)

*inhales* okay

you know you’re not perfect

but for the love of god

if han jisung doesn’t quit eating

all over his stupid desk

you will not hesitate to throw hands

YOU’RE THIS CLOSE OKAY every single project you’ve had with him

he forced you to bring your stuff over to his desk

and what happens?

pasta sauce

kimchi juice

mashed potato gravy

french fry grease

it is a TRAGEDY FOR YOUR SUPPLIES OKAY

and so it was time

you had to lay down the law

if you were to go to his desk he’d have to clean it

or at least NOT eat that period

“jisung --”

“han”

this close hbsdbfbdsbfsdhfhsヽ(#`Д´)ﾉ

“...han”

“what’s up?”

“could you like, please clean your desk? i want this math poster to be clean of any stain and it’s due by the end of the period soooo”

that was nice enough right?

you only ran it through your head like

a billion times

okay why the fuck hasn’t he spoken up yet

“ji-- han?”

“pfft ok boomer”

excuse me?

EXCUSE ME?

WHAT DOES HE MEAN ‘OK BOOMER’

YOU’RE PRACTICALLY HIS AGE

uGHHHH HE’S SO INSUFFERABLE

YOU COULD JUST

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

it’s okay it’s okay don’t fling the table

it gets worse

“if it bothers you that much, why don’t you clean it? hm?”

ヽ(#ﾟДﾟ)ﾉ┌┛Σ(ノ´Д`)ノ

see that’s you kicking him

the absolute AUDACITY

that’s it

that is IT

you are TIRED you are DONE

there is no way you’re gonna stoop that low for a grade

it’s time to fuck shit up

after all you have an A+ in math

you can afford to skip out on an assignment

jisung

or han as he likes to be called

isn’t doing so well

“on second thoughts it won’t bother me at all han!” you started

and you laugh internally when he grins

oh poor boy think he won

“in fact this whole poster doesn’t bother me at all! we can chill all you’d like”

okay was it mean that you felt smug about the panic on his face

the lil ( ⚆ _ ⚆ ;;)

FEELS BAD DOESNT IT JISUNG

okay now you felt a lil bad

he actually thought you were gonna take one for the team to do this project

but nope

he had to learn that if you want nice things yOU HAVE TO BE NICE

HHHHHHHHHHH

“w-wait what do you mean chill? the poster is due by the end of class!”

“so? i can skip out on assignment, it doesn’t hurt me”

“but it will hurt me!”

“ok boomer”

OOOOOOOOOOOOH *cue that gif of all the guys losing their mind*

you got him there

he gets up and mutters

“fine i’ll get the stupid wipes and you can have your clean space”

YESSSSS (￣ω￣)

a well earned victory

uh uh uh hold it right there

life’s not easy like that

after that he made it his personal mission to make your life HELL

every time you went to your locker to put away something

*slam* “hey”

“what do you want jisung”

“i told you to call me han!”

“ILL CALL YOU HAN WHEN YOU STOP SLAMMING MY LOCKER DOOR I HAVE THINGS TO PUT AWAY”

like what does he want with you bro

why does he feel the need to do this

he completely disregards your question

and just

leaves?? the actual fuck

but don’t worry you’re not the only one dismisses

rumors have passed that he’s ok boomered the entire staff faculty

which you honestly find hard to believe

some teachers are actually nice

but you get what they mean when one teacher decided to lecture about college

like yeah college is important but

could we like

maybe forget that it exists ajsfjsdjfjdssjdj

and while he rambled on jisung just whispered

‘back in my day we were taught to shut up’

wHEEZE

it wasn’t even that funny but

it got you

and then the both of you ended up in detention where ANOTHER teacher tried to teach you both the importance of respect

this time you tried your best to avoid jisung’s silly puffed out faces

“let it be known that respect shouldn’t have to be earned -- what’s so funny now”

you forced a frown and nodded

“i understand what you mean unlike someone else”

cue the shocked gasp

pfft what a drama queen

“WHAT IS THIS BETRAYAL”

“you act like i’ve been on your side”

“were you not?”

“just cuz we’re both in detention doesn’t mean i’m gonna be your best friend jisung”

o(╥﹏╥)o can i get an f in chat for the boy

okay but he can be funny sometimes

and cute when he puffs out his cheeks

and when he does have the heart he can be really sweet

also when he sets his mind on something it will get done

the world could be ending and he’ll be like

IT CAN WAIT BITCH IVE GOT THIS THING TO FINISH o(-`д´- ｡)

so yeah

he was a really good friend!

... reader stop lying to yourself

what do i mean? WDYM WHAT DO I MEAN

CAN’T YOU SEE YOU ARE SLOWLY GETTING WHIPPED

aish okay fine stay in denial

but it’s happening

the months pass by and now you look forward to your locker being slammed

he’s not so insufferable as you thought he was

but one day you realize that you’ve really fallen when you realize you forgot your lunch at home

*sniffs* but you didn’t even have breakfast...

in your defense you woke up 30 minutes late so you did not have the time to really pack up or anything

and so your stomach was rumbling

really badly (*´ω｀*)

but it’s fine

you could wait

another hour...

hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

sLAM

“hannie!! that scared me!”

“tell your stomach to shut up”

“excuse me?”

you look down at your desk to see a bento box filled with food

wait

he didn’t --

“hannie... that’s yours”

“just take it”

you’re about to say something but he just

leaves again

like bitch

take your food back

feeling bad you open it

and god did it smell good

okay maybe you can have a lil bit

you say this knowing full well you’re going to devour it in two seconds but

we can pretend

later that day you return the box

“thanks for the food, but were you able to eat?”

“yeah don’t worry about me, your stomach was just annoying me”

“since when did you care about my stomach?”

“i don’t”

mhm

sure

idk about you but

jisung sure loves his meals

you know

to the point he eats them every day in class instead of lunch

so to give it to you

it made you feel special

yOU MAKE ME FEEL SPECIAL

*aggressively channels inner twice*

you went home that day feeling confused

he just did a nice thing

so why did your heart do the thing

you know where it makes you think you’re having a heart attack but it’s lowkey

you can feel your cheeks grow hot and you’re softly touching like

woah

am i getting a fever?

*insert jyp* f e v e r

okay that’s enough references

but that’s when you start to realize that

you’re slowly developing a crush

this isn’t good

you weren’t supposed to fall in love with the foodie

but like

here you were

“no no no no no no --”

and so the next few weeks suddenly became harder to bear

with each slam of the locker

you wince and fumble for excuses

“han please stop”

“thanks but i can’t stick around for long”

“shoot i’m gonna miss my next class”

“i have to go meet up with a classmate”

it became weird for him

why did you always have somewhere to be?

in reality he liked seeing you everyday

and for you to suddenly just

avoid him

it hurt :((

you know this

you’ve seen his face

the way it falls

the way he mumbles “see you around i guess”

hhhhhhhhhhhhhh

but he probably doesn’t return your feelings

so like

what’s the point of getting hurt yourself?

so this is good

distancing is good

NO IT’S NOT READER STOP IT

because it’s come to a point where his friends notice it

and so they decided to run an experiment

since they were a group of eight minus jisung

each member would be assigned a day to slam your locker and see your reaction

if you successfully don’t react to any of them and react to jisung

then it’s confirmed

you like him

jisung didn’t like the idea

because it was always him who stopped by

not his friends

but he was curious and wanted to see if you did

because

well

he liked you too (*´ω｀*)

BUT YOU DIDN’T HEAR THAT FROM HIM

if he loves something it’s his food

the experiment was a mess to say the least

day 1, monday: jeongin

because who doesn’t love the baby kpop stan slamming their door on accident

“s-sorry!”

“no no you’re good jeongin, are you okay?”

“yeah”

“oh shit your photocards on the ground”

“wHAT --”

he began to pick them up

feeling bad you helped him

in that time he stole quick glances at you

you could feel it but you decided not to question it

okay well you didn’t get flustered with him

but maybe it’s cuz he sucks at being intimidating

day 2, tuesday: minho

just ew

though he didn’t really slam your locker

he like leaned against it and got really close to your face

ew ew ew ew

get that stupid smirk of your face lee minho

it does not suit you

“so, how’s your day been”

oh god his eyebrows are wiggling

*cringes* plz stop

“great until you came along”

“what do you mean, i’m great too!”

“sureeeeee mr troublemaker”

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (੭ ˃̣̣̥ ㅂ˂̣̣̥)੭ु

nope definitely not him

day 3, wednesday: felix

“yo!”

SLAM

for the love of god can people stop slamming your locker

THATS A JISUNG ONLY THING

“wanna play some games after school?”

“i would love to felix but i’ve got extracurriculars”

“awwwww come onnnnnn” (｡•́︿•̀｡)

you nearly gave in

nearly

because he really is sweet and you could use the break

but honestly if you stuck around at school any longer with jisung there you’d feel bad

so you had to make up an excuse

sorry felix baby maybe next time

day 4, thursday: changbin

he’s all decked out in paint

and just like his friends before him

slams your locker

leaving specks of red and blue and orange

*inhale* *exhale* *inhale* *exhale*

it’s okay this week is almost over

you can do it

just breathe

“changbin take a step back or prepare to catch hands”

“why”

(╬ Ò ‸ Ó)

ヾ(´ﾟДﾟ｀;)ゝ okay okay

he took a step back

happy now?

he just wanted to ask what color combo seemed aesthetic to you so he can paint something

so you were like “hm use cold colors mainly and add one warm color”

he was in awe

“THANK YOU”

“TAKE A STEP BACK OR SO HELP ME”

day 5, friday: hyunjin

what was the sleepy boy doing here now?

“have you seen my neck pillow?”

“your what”

“my neck pillow”

“...no?”

your heart nearly broke when you saw his face

he did kind of look sleep deprived

sadly you couldn’t help

“maybe use your jacket?”

“but then i get coldddddd”

“well i can’t help you there”

“meanie”

“how is that mean --”

rude

day 6, monday: seungmin

ahhh he came with your notes!

SLAM

okay WHY DO THEY KEEP DOING THAT

was he angry with you?

“look i tried to get as much notes as i can but jisung...”

and then you tuned out the rest of his voice because

jisung

or should you say han?

either way you haven’t heard his name in a while

you miss him（；へ：）

“-- so the teacher had spent the rest of the class just trying to prove that, yo are you even listening?”

“s-sorry! i lost my train of thought”

“i swear i’m the only one with the big brain here”

“nOW YOU LISTEN HERE KIM SEUNGMIN --”

day 7 tuesday: chan

“yo yo yo could you please listen to this?”

*sigh*

the one and only chan

not gonna lie you had a massive crush on him when you were younger

but he got so into his music you were pretty sure he’s ignored any prospect of dating in the future

but you loved the fact that he always shared his music with you

he’s a freaking genius

maybe he could be a kpop star or something

although that might freak jeongin out

so chan closed your locker and leaned his computer

it was such a sweet song what the heck

it was called ‘sunshine’

hhhhhhhhhhhh now you’re reminded of --

“it was written by jisung”

ARE YOU KIDDING ME

THERE’S NO WAY JISUNG WROTE THAT

“w-what? jisung? the foodie? no way”

“i’m not kidding, the kid’s got talent”

hhhhhhhhhhhh okay so jisung is ALSO a musical genius like chan

THIS DOES NOT HELP YOUR CASE

day 8 wednesday: woojin

the only one you could trust

student body president

who gently taps your shoulder

INSTEAD OF SPOOKING YOU LIKE THE REST

but not gonna lie you were looking for jisung

you figured that he finally got what you were trying to and decided to move on

but you were like :(((

anyways

back to woojin

“what’s up mr president?”

“ew where did you come up with a nickname like that?”

“it sounded funnier in my head”

“anyways if you were wondering about the other guys stopping by here they were just fooling around; i hope it wasn’t too much of a bother?”

of course

you figured

“besides minho being a little shit and changbin having paint all over him everyone else was fine”

woojin chuckled and held your locker door

“mind if i close your locker?”

*sigh*

“fine”

you braced for the slam

but woojin never disappointed

and so he closed it quietly

“have a nice day (Y/N)”

hmmm

lowkey ominous

suspishhh

but it’s woojin

so it’s fine

in conclusion you weren’t intimidated by any of them

and that if anything, you had been waiting for jisung all those days

“jisung you’ve got to make a move”

“no”

“they like you!”

“still”

“WDYM STILL --”

jisung just can’t imagine you liking him

what did he have to offer?

“i mean you got food”

wow thanks felix

remind jisung to not invite felix to any party ever

of course he can’t see everything else he has to offer

he’s serving looks for sure

he’s flipping talented as hell

have you heard his songs?

i mean chan made you hear them so you can’t say no

so here was the final day

day 9 thursday: jisung

（三・o・）

you nearly fainted when you saw him as he slammed your locker

“h-han! what are you --”

“jisung”

huh?

WDYM JISUNG

HE CANT JUST MAKE YOU CALL HIM HAN FOR MONTHS

AND THEN GO

“no call me jisung”

TALK ABOUT CONFUSION

“wait why the sudden name change?”

“i just, i just wanted to hear you say my actual name”

that

that did smth to your heart

it’s doing the thing again

someone call the ambulance

you fanned your face and you swear you could see the ends of his lips turn up

shut up don’t say anything please don’t even mention --

“why are you so red?”

WDYM WHY IS READER SO RED YOU’RE FLUSTERING THEM

so it is true

you do like him

he leaned in closer

that same shit eating grin

fuck you can’t move

this is not good this is not good this is not good --

he’s too close you’re gonna combust

“see you in class cutie”

and he

like always

JUST LEAVES

COME BACK HERE YOU HEATHEN

YOU CANNOT JUST CALL THE READER A CUTIE AND BLAST

so you decided to confront him

“jisung why didn’t you stop by for a week? why were all your friends there instead?”

“well you were avoiding me so i thought you were mad at me, and i sort of got mad and decided to do the same”

...

dUMBASS --

“then my friends wanted to see if it was because you liked me and from what i saw you do”

shit

HE KNOWS

ABORT MISSION

ABORT ABORT

“but it’s okay, i like you too”

wait what

“i like you a lot”

wait stop

hold on

what the hell

did

did jisung

han jisung

just confess

to you?

likes???

you????????

WAIT

“please say something you’re scaring me”

“i don’t know what to say”

and in reality you don’t

you just look down at the ground

and wonder where it all started

you hated jisung

although for a stupid reason

but you hated him

and for the longest time you thought he hated you too

and now it’s the complete opposite

“well this is awkward”

“i’ll say... kinda random but your song was nice”

“song? what song?”

“you know, sunshine?”

“HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT --”

“chan shared it to me! i listen to that everyday,”

“oh god”

“jisung it’s a good song, it’s one of my favorites”

“really?”

“really”

your knees feel weak at the smile that springs on his face

god you’re really whipped for him

“okay well chan, changbin, and i have been planning this new song that i think you’re really gonna like”

“ooh what is it?”

“gone days, it’s basically an ‘ok boomer’ song and it’s gonna be great”

“... jisung are you asking for trouble?”

“maybe but i promise you’re gonna love it!”

“as much as i love you?”

woah

woah woah woah

WE’RE ALREADY BRINGING THE BIG GUNS I SEE

goddammit now he’s stuttering

you broke him

good job

“m-maybe but i d-don’t know”

you laugh and press a kiss to his cheek

“i’m sure i will.”

Making Some Changes, Alone on VALENTINE’S DAY!, Can LYING Be Good?

Making Some Changes!: Who is one of your closest friends?

I’m going to ignore the one and use this to spam my mutuals with love

@arc-gx Dude. Dude you are such an amazing person with an amazing sense of humor and a FANTASTIC WRITING STYLE I WILL FIGHT YOU ON THIS POINT. I am seriously so so lucky to be able to call you my friend.

@solicitous-lyo You are an ABSOLUTE sugar cube. Besides being one of the reasons I’ve actually been more hydrated in the past few weeks than I have before, your presence is just so overwhelmingly wholesome and positive. Your art style is so good and I seriously cannot believe you aren’t a seasoned artist.

@justtrashperson Qil, your coloring is so so good and you are a joy to know. You are truly the feralist of babeys and it brightens my day when I see you pop up in my notifications.

@igosploosh HOLY FUCK YOUR ART. I SIMP for your art style so hard. And your tags are pure gold.

@lavender-mochiYour rociet content gives me l i f e. Your art style makes everyone look like elven gods and I live for it. You are such a sweet person and your vibes are so calming and gentle. @wroammin Your ideas are so big brained i swear. Your blog is an absolute delight and your writing is great! @aspex-t !! You're such a sweet person and your art is adorable!!

@thingysandstuff your art style is so quirky and cute and you’re a super super sweet person!

@thingythang1 God you’re such an amazing human being. You are so kind and smart and funny and hhhhhhhican’twordimsorry. I can’t find the right words to explain my thoughts ever and it’s a failing that I continuously try to work on. I seriously don’t deserve you in my life. I seriously appreciate your existence so so so much.

@gl1tcheff3ct I was smitten with your art style as soon as I saw it on reddit and hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it’s so frikin pretty and good and hhhhhhhhhhhhhh @just-shilaylay GOD TIER LINEART. I SWEAR. YOUR ART IS SO CUTE AND YOUR LITTLE PRINCE AU IS THE CUTEST HECKING THING I SWEAR. YOU ARE AN AMAZING HUMAN AND SO FRIKIN SWEET IM GONNA CRY

@watchoutforthefanfics HOOOO BOY. OK YOUR FICS ARE INSANELY GOOD AND MAKE ME SO EMOTIONAL AND HHHHHHHHHHH. I don’t interact with you nearly as much as I should but you seem like a lovely human being and your blog always recs me the best fics.

AND UHHHH @ ALL OF MY MUTUALS THAT I DIDN’T LIST HERE. ILY ALL AND YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING AND MAKE MY DAY.

Alone on VALENTINE’S DAY!: Do you have a crush/significant other?

Yes. That’s all you’re getting out of me.

Can LYING Be Good?: Do you agree or disagree that lying is ‘okay’ in some situations?

I’d say that lying is okay in most situations. Small talk is just lying about caring about the conversation. Politeness is just lying about your true emotions. Most of the time, to get what you want, you lie about your intentions. As long as you don’t hurt other people, lying is fine and usually the best course of action. (Can you guess who’s side I was on during SVS? Society truly was built on lies)

#dante babbles #can you tell im feeling kinda mushy rn?#thanks for the ask anon!

💙send to have a partnership with my muse + Prompto [Okay, so- Before Ep. Prompto came out, this fanartist did a pic of Ravus being the one who helps him escape and I've been obsessed with this as an idea ever since. Not that Aranea isn't the best ever, but pls, let my grumpy boi help Prompto]

pre-established relationship hearts!

[sobs while staring off into the middle distance] I’m still upset I haven’t seen half of the characters bc the game is so goddamn long -- That being said, YT is great and I’ve seen the Kingsglaive movie sO IT’S FINE.

Okay but that actually sounds interesting?? Taking Brotherhood into consideration and the fact that Luna herself asks Prom to befriend Noct and hhhhhhhhhhh. Like. That sudden realization. And I’d wager that she told Ravus about Prom too? Maybe??

Prom vc: she has a brother?? don’t know anybody else who resembles her like this and exudes Royalty(TM) as An Actual Feeling(TM)

He’s being dramatic but alas that’s the norm, really.

But seriously, like. It’d be an interesting dynamic / change to play w/. :0 Aranea is amazing as well but I feel the dynamic is. Hhh. @ times. Not that he’d probably get along better w/ Ravus bUT YANNO. Imagine all the changes. Knowing that he’s working alongside a MT, a grim reminder of Niflheim and everything that it has done but also. Prompto is so humane that sometimes it’s hard to believe he was supposed to be one of those things.

. . . I already have a lot of feelings for this bc yes.

BB Rewrite: Chapter 3 - The Library

Author’s Note: Hello! I’m back to feed your Bloodbound withdrawals with the next chapter of my rewrite. This was a fun one to recreate even with the snake Jameson in it. The next few after this probably won’t be out for a few weeks because I want to write all of my additional chapters that aren’t part of the original story all at once and I’m also going on vacation on Wednesday where I won’t be able to use my phone a lot so...hopefully this will do for now. Thank you again for all of the likes and comments on the last one and for the slew of asks I’ve gotten recently, it’s been really fun! If you have anything Choices related you want to ask me or if you want to get to know the person behind the keyboard feel free to shoot me something. If you want to listen to what music inspires me to write these, I have a giant, 100+ song Bloodbound playlist on Spotify so, you can check that out if you want. My user is madrut16 so you should be able to find it.

Also, I know that these are super long and it’s annoying w/o the read mores. I’ve tried to put it on there but it doesn’t show up on mobile, probably because it’s too long/too many text box things. So, sorry about that! I’m not doing it on purpose I swear.

Summary: Isabel deals with a feral attack in Central Park and makes an important and risky decision that will affect her life forever before cheering up her friend with another wild night out.

Tagged: @starshipppromise, @endlesshero1122

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Isabel and Adrian stood in Central Park when they saw a woman being attacked by a hideous creature. After she yelled at it, trying to get it off of the poor lady, it whipped around, and it’s red eyes stared straight at her.

"HhhhHHHHHhhhhh!"

Eyes wide in fright, Isabel exclaimed, "Oh my god! Is that...what is that?"

Adrian ordered loudly, "A Feral! Get back!"

"HsSSSsKkkrrRRr!" it growled.

Just like that, she was terrified again. "Adrian, we need to help that woman!" she begged, grabbing his arm. She knew in the back of her mind that it could very well put them in danger. She just couldn't let that poor woman suffer if she could help it. "Come on, we have to save her from that thing!"

Surprisingly, he didn’t completely shoot her idea down.

"We might be too late," he lamented.

That only made Isabel more determined. She figured that if she could keep its attention on them instead of the woman long enough they could find a way to get rid of it. However, she knew that it would likely put her in its crosshairs, but that was a risk she was willing take. She’d rather get injured herself rather than living with the guilt if she simply watched it kill the woman.

Impulisvely, she ran forward and yelled, “Leave her ALONE!”

“Isabel, no!” Adrian exclaimed, but he couldn’t pull her back in time as her strategy worked.

The Feral growled, low and guttural, as it released its grip on the woman and headed toward them at top speed. The one thing she hadn’t counted on was its ability to travel fast.

"RRrrrrRRRRRrr!"

"Ahhhh!" Isabel screamed, as the creature moved with an impossible speed, bounding across the park before it drove her into the ground. The pavement knocked the wind out of her and coughing, she gasped, "Adrian!"

"Isabel!" he exclaimed as the creature hunched over her, it's breath rank, its maw wide.

She used all of her strength to keep it from getting close to her neck and chest but, she knew it would run out quickly.

"GraAaaAwWwww..."

Adrian grabbed it by the neck and jerked it off of her. "Get off her!" The Feral turned on Adrian, slamming him down on the ground. It's strength was surreal and it snarled as it attacked him with rage. "Isabel! Grab a weapon!"

Catching her breath, she looked around for something, anything. She wondered if since it sort of resembled a vampire, that it could be killed like one.

(I need a stake of some sort.)

Seeing a branch she grabbed instinctively. "Here!" She tossed the branch to Adrian and his hand shot out to catch it.

Quickly, he drove it into the Feral's chest, impaling it deeply with the jagged point of the branch. "Die!"

"HhhhhhHHHHHHhhhhh!" It jerked back with a hideous screech. It's skin cracked, stiffened, and turned a pallid gray. "HhhHHHHhhhh..."

It's entire body disintegrated into crumbling ash, leaving behind nothing but silence. The only thing Isabel could hear was the beating of her racing heart. She stared at the pile of ash in shock as Adrian leapt to his feet and rushed over to her side.

"Are you okay?" he asked, a concerned look on his face.

She nodded with a similar expression. "Yes...are you?"

"Yes..." he replied, deep in thought. Then he enfolded her into his arms and pulled her in close. “Don’t do that again.”

Normally, she would have protested,but, given the circumstance, she didn't think he’d care too much. She was just glad to be alive. With her chest against his, she could feel the rapid beating of his heart.

As her shock began to dissipate, the reality of what just occurred hit her. Her lip trembled as she stuttered, "I know, I was stupid. I just couldn’t let it kill her. God, I... that..."

"You're okay. You're fine. You're alive," he murmured reassuringly.

She felt herself calming down, one breath at a time. "Thank you...for what you did."

He nodded, before hurrying over to the injured woman, who was still lying on the park bench. He felt for a pulse. "She's alive and breathing, just unconscious. She'll be okay," he sighed in relief.

"Thank god," Isabel said, managing a smile. "We should call 9-1-1."

"Yes." He made no move to pull out his phone.

Realizing the situation, she asked, "Do you...want me to call?"

Adrian affirmed, "It's probably best if it came from you."

She dialed the number on her phone. "Yes, we need paramedics in Central Park, on the path near the Bandshell...This woman was attacked by..." she paused and looked at Adrian, silently wondering what to say. He shook his head, indicating not to mention anything further. "She was attacked. Thank you."

She hung up and turned to Adrian. "So...what the hell was that?"

He sighed. "I know this is not what you signed up for. I suppose I owe you a bit more information," he told her. "That was a Feral."

"Yeah, I got that," she responded. "But what are they? Are they vampires?"

After a second he answered, "In a sense."

"What does that mean?" Her eyebrows knit in confusion.

Adrian explained, "The process of Turning a person into a vampire is fraught with risk. If it goes wrong, they become a Feral instead."

"And you have no control over that?" she inquired.

"We have some," he countered. "If the vampire is welcomed as part of a Clan, they'll get a brand. That brand protects them from becoming Feral."

Isabel frowned. "And if they're not part of a Clan?" She had a feeling she knew where this was going.

He answered sadly. "Then they're Clanless. And they could turn Feral at any moment."

"Back up a sec. What's this about a brand?" she wondered, head spinning as she took in all of this information.

Adrian pulled up is sleeve and showed her an elaborate insignia burned into his forearm. It's infused with the blood of my maker. It forges a personal connection that keeps my consciousness tethered to my body. It keeps me from becoming one of them."

Sighing, he added, "Ferals are as dangerous as hey are pitiable. Mindless. Soulless. Driven only by a desire to feed and kill." He suddenly scowled. "And they're not just dangerous to humans either. Their bites are infectious to my kind as well. If that thing had gotten me..."

Isabel's eyes widened. "You'd have turned into one too."

"And you'd already be dead," he finished.

Everything was starting to make sense now. "The attacks all over the city...the ones in the news..." she whispered. Adrian nodded. "Why are they happening now? Where are all these Ferals coming from?"

He answered bitterly, "I don't know for certain. Turning new humans into vampires without the approval of the Council is strictly forbidden by the Pact. Clan leaders may only create a new vampire if it's replacing a vampire that has been killed...and only with the vote of the Council." Shaking his head he grumbled, "But someone has ben betraying the Pact. Creating Clanless vampires that turn Feral. Putting us all at risk."

Isabel's eyebrows rose. "Wow...do you know who?"

"I have some suspicions, though I don't know for sure. But what I do know is...when you're dealing with Clan leaders... You must be absolutely sure before making accusations."

She recited a quote, "'You come at the King, you best not miss.'"

"Exactly."

They heard sirens and saw the flashing lights of an ambulance approaching on the roadway alongside the path.

"Oh good, here they come," she said with relief. She started waving them down but Adrian put a hand on her shoulder.

(Oh, right.)

He prompted, "We must go."

She understood, but she wanted to know that the woman was getting help. "I just want to be sure they find her and that she's okay."

He gave her a brief, sympathetic smile before saying, "It's important that I keep a low profile."

"For business reasons?" she questioned. "Personal?"

"Both," he replied. "Besides, we need to get you to your debriefing."

As the ambulance pulled over and the paramedics jumped out Adrian took her by the arm and they both slipped away into the darkness. He led her to the other side of the park, and toward the elegant façade of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Isabel gazed up in wonder at its impressive façade, the wide steps led up to the arched entrances.

"This is my favorite museum," she exclaimed. She liked art and history museums in general, in fact she could live in one if she had the chance. However, there was something about the MET that filled her with wonder. "But it should be closed at this hour."

Adrian let out a scoff. "Not to us." He led her around to an unobtrusive side entrance with a numeric keypad.

With a smirk she asked, "What're we doing, checking out the mummies at 3am?"

"Not exactly," he replied elusively. His hand hesitated near the keypad's buttons. "Do you mind?" He raised his eyebrows, waiting for her look away before he pushed a button.

Getting the hint, she said, "Oh, of course..."

(I should look away.)

As much as she wanted to sneak a peak, she didn't want to risk anything.

He shot her a sympathetic look. "Apologies, it's a private entrance."

She heard him pushing several buttons in a pattern. The door swung open with a metallic hiss, and they stepped into a part of the museum she had never seen before. Together they strolled through the shelves, her eyes fascinated by the dusty books and artifacts.

(I think I'm in love!)

"Huh...What are these? What is this place?" she wondered in amazement.

Adrian answered, "This is the Musea Sanguis."

Isabel was becoming more and more intrigued. "Which is...what?"

"The place where the true history of the world is kept," he explained.

Her jaw dropped instantly, as a thrill ran through her. "You're joking."

He shook his head, a little amused at her excitement.

"That's...amazing," she marveled.

They rounded a corner to find an aristocratic gentleman in 18th century garb, eyeing her curiously.

With a smile, Adrian introduced them. "Isabel, I'd like to introduce you to Scholar Jameson. He is the keeper of the library."

The man said, "Thoroughly pleased to meet you, Madam." Scholar Jameson was soft-spoken and formal. He extended a hand to her.

"Uh..."

(Oh! 1700s...he probably wants you to curtsey.)

She dipped, holding the skirt of her dress, causing Adrian to chuckle.

(Is he...making fun of me?)

She shook the thought.

Jameson commented, "An acquaintance of Adrian's is always welcome here."

"So, uh...what kind of collection do you have down here?" she wondered curiously.

He twiddled his fingers together and rocked back on his heels, amused. "We specialize, I suppose you could say, on the bloodier aspects of history."

She quickly caught on. "Like...vampire history?"

"Not exclusively, no, simply a more complete history. I suppose I can share some highlights...?" He looked to Adrian, who nodded. "For instance, we possess the actual guillotine blade that was used to execute Marie Antoinette!"

Her eyes widened. "Really? Wait, she wasn't a..."

"Oh no no, my dear!" he exclaimed. "But the blade was owned and deeply loved by a well-known vampire until his untimely end a few years ago."

Clearing his throat, Adrian announced, "Ahem. Scholar, I apologize for coming here on such short notice..."

"Urgent matters can't be scheduled conveniently," the man said. "I presume you have come in need of a debriefing?"

"Indeed," Adrian told him.

Isabel started to get worried, wondering what that could possibly mean.

The man nodded at once. "All right then."

Suddenly, Scholar Jameson put his hands on either side of her head, pressing his long, elegant fingers against her temples.

"Um," she blurted out, her mind racing. What would he possibly want to do to her head?"

He gave her a reassuring look. "No need to fear, young lady. It's a simple process."

Adrian wore a similar expression. "He's the best, and it's very quick. You won't feel anything."

(What?)

Her mind refused to quiet, in fact it went into hyper speed. "Feel...what do you mean? What is he doing?" she demanded.

Jameson quickly elaborated, "Debriefing is a psychic art I mastered in the course of my travels. It requires tremendous focus and discipline, which, I'm afraid, few of our kind have."

(Psychic? As in...mind?)

Suddenly, it hit her like a ton of bricks. She knew exactly what was happening.

"Wait a minute, are you...erasing my memories?" she exclaimed in horror.

The man smiled. "Well. Perceptive, aren't you? I can see why Adrian chose you."

"Mmmm," Adrian murmured, as if to confirm her suspicions.

(What the hell?!)

Suddenly, Isabel became furious. She jerked away from Scholar Jameson's hands.

"Adrian...You need to explain!" she insisted, glaring at him.

Remaining calm, he told her, "You know my secret, Isabel. All of our secrets. We can't just let you continue on knowing what you know." A conflicted look appeared on his face. "It's not just about protecting my people. It's about protecting you."

This only proceeded to anger her further. "So this whole night, everything you've shared with me, you knew it was only temporary?!" She ranted loudly. Her eyes filled with utter disappointment. "Why did you even bother taking me with you?"

"Mortality is only temporary," he described. "One day, there will be nothing left of you but dust and bone. But you will still have lived your life. And the act of living is what matters."

"I don't...it's not that simple--"

At this point, he was almost pleading. "Believe me, Isabel. My world is dangerous and terrifying, What you have been through tonight is just the tip of the iceberg. What I'm offering you is the chance to go back to the life you live before...safe, secure, free."

(Chance? So it’s not mandatory?)

"Do you consent?" he asked.

“Wait, do I actually have a choice? Or is that just a trick question.”

After a minute Adrian said, “...Technically, yes.”

She thought about it for a moment. Everything that had happened since the job interview. As much as she knew that it was probably wise to just say yes and give in. Deep down though, she didn't want to. If she had to be honest, for the most part, she enjoyed what happened that night. In fact, she wouldn't trade what occurred for anything. Even the bad and scary parts.

She wasn't ready to admit it until then but she had been feeling stuck for a while that she was stuck. She wasn't living for herself, but for other people: her parents, past bosses, Derek. Suddenly overnight her world had been flipped upside down and with it she saw the opportunity to take control staring right at her. Something inside told her that the purpose she'd been searching for since day one in New York was right in front of her. To do what she wanted, what she felt was worthy of fighting for. To live each day as if it were her last. It was now or never, time to carpe diem.

Having made up her mind, she took a deep breath and said something she hadn’t in a long time. “No.”

"I'm sorry?" Adrian stammered in disbelief.

"No," she repeated, this time more forcefully. "I won't do it. This night...the scary parts, the wild parts, everything...has made me feel the most alive I think I've ever felt." Looking at him, she smiled and she knew that whatever the outcome, she had made the right decision. "Your world, your kind...I'm excited to be part of it. I promise you can trust me, I’Il protect your secret. I want to stay and I want to be your assistant...your real assistant."

He raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "Aren't you afraid?"

She thought about it for a minute. "Am I afraid? No," she answered truthfully. In the beginning she was terrified. And she knew that she would be in the future plenty of times. But, she knew that it would be worth it. "I'm exhilarated, excited, maybe even nervous, but I'm not scared. I feel like my eyes are open to what's really happening in this city...in this world...and I want to learn more," she explained enthusiastically.

"More importantly, I want to help you figure out what's happening with the Ferals and to do something to stop these attacks. To save more people like the woman we saved tonight." She paused before pleading, "I meant what I told you at dinner. I want to make a better world...for both your kind and mine. So let me do it."

Adrian cocked his head to the side, taking her in. His eyes seemed to see right through her. Finally he said with a sigh,"Okay."

Jameson turned to him, shocked. "Really?"

"Really," he reiterated. "You can keep your knowledge. No one's ever chosen not to get debriefed before."

Scholar Jameson shook his head, regretfully. "I fear this won't end well old friend..." he warned.

"We can always debrief her if she decides she wants it at a later date," Adrian told him. "But I believe it's worth giving her a chance."

Isabel couldn't believe that he agreed. "I won't let you down!" she assured him.

"Well, Scholar Jameson, thank you for your help. I will see you soon," he told the other man.

He broke out a smile. "It was a pleasure, as always."

A little disappointed, Isabel asked, "We're leaving already? But this place is amazing. I'm sure it's full of secrets waiting to be discovered."

Adrian glanced at his watch, then looked up at her with a smile. "I could give you a quick tour before the sun rises," he suggested. "...and I wouldn't say no to getting to know you a bit better...professionally of course."

Isabel didn't need much time to decide. "Explore the library? Let's go!" she exclaimed excitedly. "I'm not ready for tonight to be over."

"You're not tired?" he asked her, surprised. As if he didn’t expect her to say yes.

"I'm running on pure adrenaline," she scoffed in response. "I don't think I could go to sleep even if I wanted to."

He chuckled in amusement. "Then we should get moving, before it wears off." He offered her his arm. She took it after a moment, and the two of them strolled deeper into the library.

"I will warn you, I'm a bit of a history nerd. In fact, I took so many classes in college that I ended up with a minor in it so...I may squeal like a little kid at any moment," she told him.

Adrian raised an eyebrow. "Now that I definitely have to see. Let's see what I can do."

She followed him down an aisle and stopped in front of a display case which housed a long, silver sword.

Isabel's eyes brightened in amazement. "Oooh, this looks cool. What is it?" she asked.

"The sword of Attila the Hun," he explained.

Her mouth fell open as she peered through the glass and admired the sword's jewel-encrusted hilt. "It's beautiful."

Adrian smiled. "Indeed. There are some who believed it gave Attila godly powers, but it's just an ordinary sword."

"Was Attila a vampire then?" she wondered, trying to figure out how it related.

He shrugged. "We're not sure, but it seems fairly likely that he was some kind of supernatural entity."

She looked at him in shock. "Wait a second. Are you saying there's other...creatures out there? It's not just vampires?"

Elusively, he replied, "There's no limit to what you'll find when you go looking in the shadows." He gestured to a case behind her. Inside, there was a furry claw, vaguely human in shape, with huge talons for nails.

"...Werewolf?" she inquired, looking at it curiously.

"Probably," Adrian told her, giving her a playful wink before continuing down the aisle.

She stumbled after him. "That's wild...How do you know so much about this stuff?" she asked.

"I studied it for decades," he answered, giving her a smirk. "I can tell you about anything in this library."

Raising an eyebrow at him, Isabel took a quick look around. "Anything, huh? How about we put that to the test." Suddenly, she grinned slowly, smugly. "Tell me about...me," she demanded.

"You?" he replied, his eyes going round. She'd obviously caught him off guard, which was her desired effect.

She snickered, "You said anything in the library, didn't you?" Her eyes sparkled.

Adrian shook his head but his lips turned up into a smile. "You continue to surprise me. Alright, let's see..." He met her eyes, and they stared at each other for a moment. "You're fierce and compassionate...and far braver than I ever expected."

Isabel felt a blush rise to her cheeks as she averted her gaze. How was he doing to her what Derek hadn't been able to in months? She rolled her eyes. "Flatterer."

"I'm just telling you what I know," he replied.

(And being very distracting!)

It hadn't even been a month since she and her former boyfriend, Derek, and she had promised herself that she would remain single for a while. Her relationships were always long-term and she'd gone from one to the other since high school, with only a couple months in between. In addition, Derek had also been another intern, in a different department (which is why they were allowed to date) and she didn't want a repeat of that.

Sighing, she pushed it out of her mind, not wanting it to ruin the few moments of the night she had left. There was another thought nagging her though. One that she could bring up.

They turned down the next aisle, which was lined with bookshelves, and she cleared her throat. "So earlier...you said that no one ever chose to keep their memories...But what about Nicole and the people in Priya's club?"

After a second of thought, Adrian told her, "Those are people we've chosen to bring it. Who we've eased into the truth of your world." He frowned. "Most people who find out the way you did panic when they find out the truth. I've see it plenty of times. They welcome the release of forgetting. Beg for it even."

She hadn't seen it any other way, but now it made a lot of sense. "Is that what happened to your last assistant?" she wondered.

Adrian stopped walking, and she turned to face him. He glanced at her and sighed before looking away again. "No. Not exactly," he replied, glumly. Sadness clouded his features. "One of my rival tech companies bribed her to break into the Raines Corporation labs and steal some samples for them. She stole a high-level clearance keycard and broke into the Black-9 facility. She had no idea what my scientists were working on in there."

Isabel was stunned. "What were they doing there?" She didn't expect him to tell her.

But, she was surprised when after hesitating for a moment, he explained it to her in detail. "For some time, I've been studying Ferals. In the hope that perhaps I might find a cure." His face darkened and his brows furrowed. "The Black-9 facility is where I kept my test subjects."

"Oh..." Isabel uttered, as a sad recognition dawned on her face.

Confirming her suspicions, he told her, "One broke free. Attacked her. She was saved but...deeply traumatized. Debriefing her was a mercy." He fell silent and the two of them started walking again.

Stealing a glance, she dared ask, "Adrian...why'd you let me keep my memories?"

He answered immediately. "I could tell you were different right from the moment I met you."

With a smile, she said, "That's why you hired me."

His grin gave it away. "Indeed...but tonight, you exceeded all my expectations."

"First day on the job, and I've already impressed the boss," she beamed.

"You saw things that would have sent most people running but you didn't. That would have been reason enough to give you a chance," he told her.

Her brows rose. "Is there another reason?" she asked.

Adrian paused, and she looked over at him curiously. He met her eyes and smiled. "I suppose...I also wasn't quite ready to say goodbye to you."

"Lucky me," she replied, diverting her gaze for a second as her stomach did a flip which surprised her.

(Damn it. Why do I keep feeling this way?)

As they turned down another aisle, she caught sight of a strange looking sarcophagus, and a feeling of unease settled in her gut. As though in a trance, she took a few steps towards it. Then, Adrian stopped her, with a heavy hand on her shoulder.

"...Huh?" she stammered, snapping out of it to look at him bewildered. She came back to herself with a shake of her head.

She watched as he stared at the sarcophagus, jaw clenched.

"What is that thing?" she murmured, eyes wide.

A look of pain flashed across his face, briefly, before he tore his gaze away. With a sigh, he said, "That...is none of our concern."

He turned away sharply and for a moment they walked in silence. His expression didn't go away, which worried her slightly.

"Is everything okay, Adrian?" she inquired.

He met her gaze. "Oh... Yes, I'm fine. I was just...reminiscing about the past. I suppose I'm still not quite used to the idea of having someone to share my thoughts with."

She gave him a reassuring smile. "Adrian...I want to be here for you...as a friend. I know we haven't known each other for very long but...I really feel like we have a connection."

"It's only been a day," he countered. "You might not decide to stick around..."

(Does that mean he wants me to?)

She smirked. "And weren't you the one who said that everything is temporary?" she questioned, an eyebrow raised.

Adrian opened his mouth to retort, then shut it and looked away. "Yes, I suppose I did..."

"Well, I'm here for you now. That's what matters."

He looked down at his watch and sighed. "We should probably get going. It's almost morning."

(Daylight.)

"Thanks for showing me around," she said.

He gave her a warm smile. "It was my pleasure." He offered her his arm with a smile before leading her out of the library.

They stepped out of the museum's side entrance to quiet streets, birds chirped, an occasional taxi sped by. A rare occurrence for New York. The sun was just about to peek over the city and the sky glowed with the breaking dawn.

Wistfully, Adrian sighed, "Dawn already."

Isabel fought back a yawn. "I can't believe I was up all night! Though I guess you're used to that."

"I am. And now I must go rest. Recover. And consider tonight's events," he told her.

Making eye contact she stammered, "Okay...?" The departure felt...sudden.

"Take care of yourself, Isabel," he said. "Have a good weekend."

"Oh...all right." She watched him glance at the horizon and wince at the light. Delicately, she inquired, "Do you...wish you could stay?"

Adrian paused, thinking. He smiled, bittersweetly. "I wish we could go drink a cup of coffee in an outdoor café and feel the sun warming us from million miles away. I wish I could walk with you through the park on a sunny summer afternoon." His eyes momentarily dropped to the ground. "I wish I could, but I can't."

He took a deep breath, straightened himself up and shook his head. He put a hand on her shoulder, startling her. "Go get some rest. I'll see you at 8pm on Monday."

She gave him a grin. "I take it I'm on the night shift now?"

"Well...if you want to be my real assistant..." he said.

Who needed a normal sleep schedule. "I'll see you there." Even before she finished her sentence, he had whirled away and disappeared around the corner. She walked back to her apartment, head filled with the memories of the last several hours.

Back at home, she crawled into bed and crashed, hard. Hours later, the sound of a videogame penetrated her brain, waking her up.

(Ugh...so...loud.)

She turned onto her back and her eyes adjusted to the lack of light.

(Why is it dark? What time is it?)

Looking at the alarm clock on her nightstand she gasped.

(9:30pm? I slept all day! Whoops...)

She checked her phone on the table to see it full of messages from Alyssa, wondering where she was and why she wasn't responding. Groaning, she sent her another apology, explaining vaguely that she had been busy. Luckily, she didn’t hold it against her.

She changed out of the dress that she'd had on into a pair of gym shorts and a t-shirt ad walked out to see Lily on the couch. She was killing zombies loudly on the TV and drinking wine straight from the bottle.

"Oh, I've got you now..." the purple-haired gamer growled.

Instantly, Isabel became concerned. "Uh, Lil?" she asked.

Her friend didn't look up, and instead just kept aggressively shooting zombies. It was bloody.

"Boom! Headshot!"

(Oh no. This can't be good.)

Taking a deep breath, Isabel shouted, "Hey! Is there a reason you need to play with the volume all the way up?"

Seeing her, Lily paused the game, taking a swig of the wine before offering it to her morosely.

"Sorry," she apologized. "Blowing off their heads in surround sound makes me feel less unfathomably depressed somehow..."

Isabel's eyebrows knit in concern. Going into the kitchen for a cup of coffee she asked, "Uh oh... Trouble on the Melanie front?"

"There is no Melanie front, not anymore," her friend grumbled. "She broke up with me to get back together with her stupid ex."

Isabel quickly ran back to the couch where she sat down and gave Lily a hug. She buried her head into her shoulder and gave a little sniffle.

"Sorry I'm such a mess," she apologized.

Shaking her head, Isabel replied, "Don't be sorry...that really sucks."

"Yeah. Killing zombies is a good distraction, but I feel like a dam about to explode any second." Lily sighed deeply. "I know Melanie was kind of a jerk in the end but...I really liked her. She got me. It's not every day you meet someone who can appreciate a good Zutara reference."

Isabel gave her a sympathetic smile. "I know."

Lily sniffed. "God, look at me. Throwing myself a total pity party. I promise I'll be way less of a mopey mump tomorrow."

Suddenly, Isabel had an idea. Even though she had just spent all last night out, she knew that her friend needed to be cheered up. And a little night on the town was the best way she knew how. "Hey Lily, I’ve got an idea...let’s go out!”

Her friend shrugged. "I don't know..."

"Come on! It'll be great. We'll hit the club with Alyssa...have some drinks...make out with attractive strangers," she pleaded, wiggling an eyebrow suggestively. "Put photos online and make sure Melanie and Derek see them."

Lily brightened. "How would I ever say no to that?"

"Exactly! You can't!"

"All right, let's do it!" her best friend exclaimed. "...After I beat this mission."

Isabel rolled her eyes at her friend, but couldn't help smile. She used that time to change into a club-worthy outfit. After multiple outfit changes she settled on a short, glittery silver dress that showed all of her best assets off without being too risqué. She also texted Alyssa the plan who quickly got on board even though she didn’t like clubbing as much as they did.

An hour later, they were working out their feelings on the dance floor. The music was pumping, they were dancing, and she almost completely forgot about her adventures from the night before.

"Wooooooo!" she exclaimed, glad to let off the stress and lingering feelings about her break up. Sometimes, as much as she believed in being selfish and taking care of your own needs sometimes, she often didn't take her own advice.

"Hell yeah!" Lily shouted.

This was heavily needed for all of them.

Feeling herself start to get sore from dancing, she asked, "Should we take a break and get a drink?"

They didn't need much convincing. They walked, happy and sweaty, over to the bar and tried to get the bartender's attention.

"Hey, excuse me...?" Alyssa asked politely. However, her voice didn't carry and the female bartender didn't hear, helping someone else instead.

A male bartender walked by and this time, Isabel tried. "Hello, excuse me!" He also kept walking.

With an impatient look, Lily questioned, "Izzy, Lys, do you really want something to drink?"

"Yeah..." Isabel replied.

A sly smile appeared on their friend's face. "Cause you're not acting like you do," she commented before putting her fingers in her mouth, producing a loud whistle. Everyone at the bar turned and stared at her. "Barkeep! Can we get some refreshments or what?"

The male bartender drifted over, giving them major attitude. Turning to Isabel and Alyssa, she said, "We'd like...I dunno, what do you want?"

Isabel thought for a moment before exclaiming, "Three fancy cocktails!" She squinted, reading the menu behind the bar. With a charismatic grin, she said, "I'll have the Watermelon Waterfall."

Following her lead, Lily added, "And I'll get the Khaleesi Kooler!"

“Um, and I’ll have the Pineapple Mango Rum Punch?” Alyssa said timidly.

The bartender rolled his eyes and made them three absurdly complicated, colorful drinks with little umbrellas.

The gamer stated, "I've always said, the best drinks are the ones that look like you smushed a rainbow unicorn into a cocktail glass. Just plain ridiculous."

Smiling to herself, Isabel replied, "Ridiculous is exactly what I was going for. This has been a ridiculous 24 hours." She dropped some cash on the bar. The bartender snatched it up and made a face at the small tip before disappearing. Her eyes widened, knowing how little they made from bartending for a couple summers during college and also at night while doing her internship. "That's all the cash I have! Sorry!"

Lily scoffed. "Don't be sorry!" she grumbled. "He gave us so much attitude."

Isabel shrugged.

"Who knows, maybe he just had a bad breakup?" Alyssa suggested.

Her friend's face suddenly collapsed and she instantly wished she hadn't said it. "Why you gotta mention breakups? Ugh, now I feel bad." She pulled out a few crumpled dollar bills and left them on the bar. "It's no fun being mean when you make me feel guilty about it."

"You're not really mean, you just pretend," the journalist pointed out with a smile.

"Shhh, don't tell."

Isabel raised her glass, trying to cheer her up. "Let's have a toast! Here's to horrible exes!" she cheered. "Because today's terrible breakup is tomorrow's hilarious anecdote!"

"Yes! I'll drink to that!" Lily yelled, taking a good sip. Suddenly, she theorized," Ohmygod...I just realized...could our horrible exes be...our supervillain origin stories? Maybe this is the moment I become Evil Lily!"

Laughing, Isabel asked,"...How much wine did you have at home?"

Waving a finger, her best friend replied, "I plead the fifth, your honor."

She shook her head.

"Okay...We are not drinking any more after this." Alyssa told them.

"No more," Lily agreed with a slow nod.

"Last drink." Isabel said.

The gamer repeated her statement, almost as if they were trying to convince themselves still. "Last drink."

However, that is definitely what they did not do. Three drinks later...they had taken over a booth in the back of the club. The table was covered with empty glasses and half-eaten appetizers.

In drunken amazement, Isabel gasped, "You did not tell me that Melanie had webbed toes!"

"I could've sworn I did..." her friend trailed off before frowning. "They were so cute...like little duckie feet..."

Alyssa raised an eyebrow, not picking up on the change in attitude. "I don't know, it's kinda weird..."

"But I like weird," Lily murmured. "And I think you do too..."

Her eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

She smiled. "You guys like me, right?"

Isabel rolled her eyes. "Of course, but you're not a weirdo," she told her.

Lily snorted before arguing, "Oh really? Try being a nerdy, bi black girl growing up in rural Wisconsin... I was Weirdo City."

"Aww, I'm just imagining little nerdy middle school Lily...adorable." Alyssa squealed.

Her friend laughed dryly before her expression darkened. "Not so much. Like, I tried to be normal, I tried wearing what everyone else wore, I tried gossiping about boy bands...but it just felt like a bad-fitting jacket."

"Really? Because you seem so comfortable just being who you are now," she replied a little surprised. She felt like she'd gotten to know her friend really well but, turns out there was more to learn. "When did you become...you?"

Isabel already knew this and answered for her. "Senior prom, right?”

"What?" Alyssa asked, eyebrows raised.

"Yeah, I can’t believe you remembered,” Lily confirmed. “Nobody asked me to go, and I was like, I can sit at home and feel bad for myself, or I can be who I am and go...It wasn't like I could get any lonelier than I already was, so I just thought, screw it." Lily smiled as she retold the memory. "I put rainbow braids in my hair, and I put on combat boots, and I went, And you know what?"

"What?" Alyssa wondered.

"I had an awesome time," her friend replied. "And it was the first time I told anyone I was mostly into girls..."

Alyssa became slightly confused. "Huh, 'Mostly?'"

"I mean, there's definitely dudes I think are hot. And I've had fun fooling around with them. It's just, when it comes to who I'm really into, who I actually want to do the whole relationship thing with...it's pretty much always a girl." Lily frowned once more. "Like Melanie."

Raising an eyebrow, Isabel lectured, "Whoa there! No sad ex talk! We're having fun, remember?"

"Right. Of course. How could I forget? Thanks so much for being here for me, Isabel. I love you.”

"Aw, Lil, I love you." she replied.

“And you’re pretty cool too Alyssa. We definitely need to do this more often.”

“Oh, thanks,” she replied before pulling her friends in for an embrace. "Melanie's an idiot. You're gonna find someone way awesomer. I know you will..." They held her for a while.

Finally, Lily said, "You're the best, thank you. I needed that." She sniffled, then took a deep breath, and jumped onto her feet. "More dancing?" she suggested.

Isabel nodded. Lily grabbed her hand and pulled her to the dance floor with Alyssa following suit

They went back to the floor where they danced up a storm....It was joyous, raucous, celebratory. But none of them noticed, at the very edge of the dance floor, burning in the darkness a pair of glowing eyes that was staring at them.

To be continued....

ok i don’t normally do this kinda stuff but I got officially Tagged by @bunswithknives and it feels really rude to ignore my friend whom I peep a lot of test results from.

I’m not gonna add my own question or tag people because ehhhhhhhhhh feels like bothering people kinda

1. coke or pepsi: Pepis, coke is incredibly sweet and also their alternate lines are nothing to write home about while pepsi at least has the 1893

2. disney or dreamworks: I can’t remember a single good Dreamworks movie so that’s a win by default

3. coffee or tea: Coffee until it gives me stomach cramps then it’s tea time

4. books or movies: Hahahah oh man I haven’t done either in years.

5. windows or mac: macOS High 🍁 Sierra

6. dc or marvel: Injustice is a better fighter than Marvel vs Capcom could ever aspire to be

7. xbox or playstation: The one with the games.

8. dragon age or mass effect: I feel like I could write a shitload of words on Mass Effect’s amazingness and it’s fall from grace after the first game. Dragon Age Origins was okay, but it’s really not the same stuff.

9. night owl or early riser: I don’t KNOW i sleep in the afternoons!

10. cards or chess: Cards but only when actual money is involved.

11. chocolate or vanilla: If it’s about ice cream, then prolly vanilla, pais better

14. fluff or angst: All angst all the time

15. beach or forest: Beach, but only fully clothed

16. dogs or cats: I wanna say cats but I think I’ve touched a cat maybe five times in my life? I like kitten videos though

17. clear skies or rain: r a i n

18. cooking or eating out: Cooking owns. Even if whatever I make lasts me for a week and I get bored.

19. Spicy food or mild food: Spicy. Even if it triggers my inflammation every time, it’s worth iiittt.

20. halloween/samhain or solstice/yule/christmas: i fucking WISH halloween was a thing here because it’s amazing and i’d love it!! But it defaults to christmas. Also there’s no gifts on halloween.

21. would you rather forever be a little too cold or a little too hot: i’m already too hot all the time

22. if you could have a superpower, what would it be: shapeshifting? or idk, invisibility

23. animation or live action: animation. Tho in recent days I’ve mostly been keeping myself to anime and Adult Swim stuff.

24. paragon or renegade: The morality system in Mass Effect, despite being good as an idea, fails to understand that most of choices faced by Shepard are solved on case-to-case basis as the character roleplayed would have it instead of following a strict moral guideline

25. baths or showers: I shower like once few days (gross details just for u!) but I like sitting in the bathroom while the shower’s running and the steam fills the room and I feel like I’m in space

26. team cap or team ironman: BOTH ARE GARBAGE IDIOTS also i haven’t watched that movie but from what i remember captain’s idea was “hey maybe the self-appointed vigilante ubermenschen shouldn’t act on their own”? which seems like a good idea and Iron Man was just being a dick as always

27. fantasy or sci-fi: eeehhhhhh both are okay

28. do you have three or four favourite quotes? if so what are they: I’m not dorky enough to list inspirational quotes even when dared to.

29. youtube or netflix: Have you seen the polish Netflix offer? People are supposed to pay for this lmao.

30. harry potter or percy jackson: I was the biggest potterhead in the WORLD when i was a babby. I’m glad the fanfiction site I uploaded my stuff to disappeared though

31. when do you feel accomplished: i only know bitter hatred at the fact that no matter what i do i haven’t accomplished enough

32. star wars or star trek: Star Wars is a cool arthurian fable and all but people get laid more in Star Trek so ultimately it’s the better show

33. paperback books or hardback books: paperbacks?? they’re easier to carry I guess. Who gives a shit about books.

34. horror or rom-com: Horrors, as long as someone holds my hand during the scary part.

35. to live in a world without literature or music: I can’t imagine the sad person who answered “music” to this lol

36. pastel colours or dark colours: As a true doom murderhead, I’m inclined to say dark

37. tv shows or movies: shows shows shows

38. city or countryside: I lived in countryside for the first 14 years of my life and it was the shittiest thing I can imagine inflicted on a person.

39. if any other zodiac sign could describe you, what would it be: I DON’T KNOW HOW OTHER ZODIAC SIGNS DESCRIBE PEOPLE HOMESTUCK WASN’T CLEAR ON THAT

40. if you could only listen to one album for the rest of your life what would it be: Hot Sauce Committee p. 2 by Beastie Boys

41. cinema or theatre: The modern theatrical division between the audience and the actors makes there be no difference

42. if you could be any fictional character’s best friend, who’d you be: Doomguy’s, the one from Doom

43. smiling or smirking: 😔

44. are you an ‘all or nothing’ type or are you more consistent: The all or nothing because honestly why even bother trying to do stuff when I can’t be good at it already

46. traveling or staying at home: staying home

47. books or fanfiction: hhhhhhhhhhh

48. If you could live in a fantasy world, what world would it be: Dark Souls, but preferably not as some hollow asshole that wails on people with a hitstunning torch. I wanna practice my creepy laugh at people

49. your favorite cartoon: Does Homestar Runner count?

50. name the weirdest five songs on your itunes, current or past: Jesus christ that’s some wankery of a question. Fine. “Aster” by OOIOO, “Szerencsetlen” by Venetian Snares, “Chittam Irangayoo” by Ruins, “Storyteller” by Maquiladora, “Dokonimo” by Miminokoto. I feel like listing albums would be easier but this is tumblr and I don’t assume anyone would listen to this shit anyway

51. mountains or plains: Plains (the american west kind when there isn’t a fuckload of allergizing plants and it all looks like Mars)

52. favorite anime (or tv show if you don’t watch anime): JoJo/Space Dandy/Steins;Gate

53. which social media platform are you most like yourself on: All my internet presence is a carefully crafted internet persona designed to make me look more interesting than I am in real life

54. What are some of your passions: 😔

55. What are some of your current goals in life?: Become a less worthless piece of shit, move to Portland with my gf, maybe go past being a freshman for once

57. Body modifications you would like to have: Haha I think I’m pretty set on those.

58: Describe the most bullshit fictional story you’ve ever read/watched/played: any story originating on tumblr that has people doing those overblown reactions in replies

59: Do you collect anything: It’s not really a collection per se but I like surrounding myself with rare/unique stuff. Handmade objects, limited runs of records, paintings, autographed books, obscure items

Onwards we go!

Thenightetc: "There's something I need to show you... your grave!" Thenightetc: How...ominous? Thenightetc: The floating stuff, I mean. Thenightetc: (whoops, afk. dinner) Firstclu: do the drawers open? Knock Out: O Knock Out: *I'll check. Knock Out: Has anyone spotted a book or a doll hanging about? Firstclu: I haven't so far Firstclu: go back Firstclu: I saw the doll Firstclu: it was on top of the drawers Knock Out: Thank you! Smokescreen: Woojit! Thebes: Hello! Have I missed anything? Smokescreen: ... this isn't a horror game is it Smokescreen: /LOUD BEEP/ Firstclu: nahhhh Firstclu: it's cute Smokescreen: are you sure Shockbox: Hm. Got the stream to work for games, I see. Thenightetc: (Back! Did I miss anything spooky?) Firstclu: yep, see it's got these little critters dancing and stuff Firstclu: and happy music Smokescreen: Shockbop! Shockbox: Oh no. Smokescreen: :O Shockbox: ....Do not stare in such a manner. Smokescreen: :I Shockbox: |<o>| Smokescreen: :D Shockbox: |<o>| Smokescreen: ;) Thenightetc: I have to say, it kind of bugs me that they clearly reused the floor texture for the ceiling. Despite the floor texture having "planks lying around" bits Thenightetc: Oooooo? You got something working? Smokescreen: ... Okay who glued planks to the ceiling Shockbox: Yes, it doesn't look natural. Smokescreen: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa Smokescreen: KNOCK OUT WHY Knock Out: Because. Knock Out: And hello, Smokescreen! Shockwave. Shockbox: Greetings. Smokescreen: thats it Shockwave's my NEWbest friend Shockbox: What....led you to that conclusion? Firstclu: congratulations, Shockwave Smokescreen: because knock out scared me Knock Out: Breakdown has all the thoughts about my sense of direction and cowardly yelps. Knock Out: Don't listen to him.

Short game. Knock Out: The Pit? That game cost me five stolen dollars! Thenightetc: That was... underwhelming. Immortalspark: I fail to be scared Shockbox: You needed something, Smokescreen?

Knock Out: That's it! Thenightetc: Yeah! Smokescreen: I can help you if you need it, Shocky. Shockbox: The most likely course of action will be /you/ making both bracelets alone. You would then go to hand one to me, and I will then dispose of it while you are not looking. Thenightetc: *snickering* Smokescreen: ... I promise you'll help with it? We can make one both of us like! Can you draw a design? Shockbox: I am afraid I will have to refuse. Smokescreen: Aww. Maybe we can play a game sometime, then? Is six lasers a thing again over there? Thenightetc: ...so, these wails and such in the distance. Is there actually someone else there, a ghost say, or is the player character hallucinating? Knock Out: Of course, the one time I need a monster, there's none to be found. Smokescreen: it's so dark, I can't see the walls. I consider that lucky Knock Out: One klik. Let me look this up. Shockbox: I have little time for recreational activities. It takes enough effort to attend a stream. We should reserve interaction for interdimensional social media instead. Smokescreen: Awww... I'd love to hang out with you, though, new best friend. But you're busy with a lot of science stuff, right? Thenightetc: ...is this Fallout Knock Out: No, a game I played three years ago that didn't have the courtesy to remember my progress. Shockbox: Yes. And no, before you ask the inevitable, you cannot be my assitant. Shockbox: This game is called Among the Sleep, I believe. Thenightetc: Ohhh. Shockbox: Artistic. Rather somber end, however. Smokescreen: hhhhhhhhhhh Thenightetc: *leans waaaaay back* Smokescreen: please shocky? I can assist! I know science! Shockbox: Why is the audio quality so....painful? Shockbox: Oh, that's better. Knock Out: Better? Shockbox: Yes, my thanks. Shockbox: You would need to go to great lengths to prove such a thing, Smokescreen. Thenightetc: This just gets less and less ominous Smokescreen: Okay! I can do it. Give me a challenge, and I canprove it! Knock Out: I remember this game. We used to play it as newbuilds before the caretakers made us stop. Shockbox: Your challenge is to thoroughly impress me. Thenightetc: it'd help if Mommy weren't so uncanny-looking Shockbox: ....It's still day time. Immortalspark: Mommy doesn't understand about time zones Shockbox: That too. Knock Out: "Time for bed. Mommy needs some quiet." Smokescreen: :O! Okay! So- I can balance chemistry equations? Bet you didn't expect that, right? Shockbox: Demonstrating the ability to make calculations, invent something, or conduct an experiment would not be enough. Shockbox: No, you would have to sacrifice more than that. Smokescreen: Really? Like what, exactly? Shockbox: Your current set of beliefs. Your sense of morality. Whatever loyalty you have left to the Autobots. Shockbox: I would guide you, yes. But you must realize, unprofessional conduct is not to be tolerated. Thenightetc: ...is someone under the bed? Thenightetc: I'm sure I saw a face Thebes: It's possible Smokescreen: Dang. You ask all your assistants to do that? Smokescreen: nonononono Smokescreen: NO NO NO Thenightetc: so I DID see a face. Smokescreen: put that face away Smokescreen: why are there feeet Smokescreen: And- of course I'll be professional, Shocks. Shockbox: The only 'assistants' I've had for the past 2.5 million years have been drones. Thenightetc: o_o Shockbox: Your conduct would be required to extend to your online presence. Smokescreen: What? Why? Smokescreen: I'm perfectly professional, anyway- aren't I? Thenightetc: (That song she's humming is weirdly familiar...) Shockbox: ....I am inclined to disagree. We appear to have very different standards. Shockbox: It is sure that such a change would be unnatural for you. You would not fit the role without compromising your ability to work efficiently. Knock Out: Baby's first monoxide leak. Shockbox: Ah, good times. Smokescreen: I can do it, Shocks! Really! Think about it when you need an assistant. Shockbox: Your offer is acknowledged. Shockbox: What are you looking for, Knockout? Knock Out: Something to open the baby boiler. Knock Out: Or whatever that door leads to. Shockbox: Hm. I remember the bear's paw being used to open the door. Shockbox: .....Hm. Knock Out: Ahh, there we go! Knock Out: Much appreciated! Shockbox: /Nod. Thenightetc: Are those eyes Knock Out: Now, see, we never did anything fun like this when I was a newspark. Immortalspark: Really? That's a shame Knock Out: Always "go to berth, share your datapad, memorize the names of all the sinus cavities." Knock Out: It really was. Shockbox: As enjoyable as this has been, Knockout, I must be leaving. Thank you for the stream. Knock Out: I mean, did you ever get to have adventures with shadow beasts? Knock Out: My pleasure. Thank you for stopping in! Thenightetc: Goodnight! Immortalspark: See you Shockwave! Immortalspark: Shadow beasts were a mainstay for my childhood Immortalspark: I thought everyone had them Knock Out: They build character. Immortalspark: indeed Smokescreen: Awww, night Shocky! Smokescreen: Wait really? I'm glad I missed that part of being a bitlet! Thenightetc: Maybe the shadow beasts stole your memories of them. Smokescreen: ..... Immortalspark: That does sound like something they'd do Smokescreen: noooooo Immortalspark: they like to pull pranks like that Smokescreen: no no no no Thenightetc: They're such playful creatures. Smokescreen: knocky hellllp Thenightetc: :) Knock Out: Oh, don't worry. I'm sure the shadow beasts will return your memories eventually. Thenightetc: After they've had their fun with them. Knock Out: They're "that" type of friend. Smokescreen: no no nnnnnnooooo Thenightetc: They might not be in the same shape after you get them back, though. Smokescreen: you're all the worstttt Knock Out: What? We didn't say they'd be *harmed.* Knock Out: Just scuffed. The edges folded down. Knock Out: Maybe a copper stain or two. Thebes: And that's assuming JUST the memories of the shadow beasts are missing Thenightetc: Don't worry, I'm sure you're safe from them these days, though. Smokescreen: what??? they took other things too? Thenightetc: Quick question: you don't have any shadows in your room, do you? Smokescreen: I. How would I know? Immortalspark: is anything in your room casting a shadow? Thenightetc: I'm sure it's fine. Smokescreen: ... Any shadow? Everything casts a shadow~! Smokescreen: NO NO NO Immortalspark: No reason to panic at all Immortalspark: or make sudden movements Smokescreen: if I don't recharge at home I'll be fine Thenightetc: ? Thenightetc: Why would it matter whether you're at home? Smokescreen: ... Aren't they just at my home? Thenightetc: *awkward silence* Thebes: I mean. If they were a unique phenomenon, *maybe* Smokescreen: wait what about my own shadow? Smokescreen: are they in here Thenightetc: Well, I'm not in the room with you, Smokescreen. How would I know if there were a shadow beast there? Thenightetc: gosh. Smokescreen: can I send pictures Thenightetc: The glowing eyes on the horse thing are a nice touch. Thenightetc: Not unless you want to multiply them. Smokescreen: what?? they multiply with pictures? Smokescreen: ... am I taking pictures of them- multiplying Knock Out: Make sure you ask if that's what you plan on doing. Thenightetc: I thought everyone knew that Knock Out: Not everyone's into that. Smokescreen: what Thenightetc: What? Immortalspark: snickering Smokescreen: hhhhhhhhhhh mommy is terrifying Thenightetc: Probably reminds you of something. Immortalspark: that bear is what creeps me out Immortalspark: those big soulless eyes Immortalspark: the constant stating of the obvious Smokescreen: no no no Thenightetc: What? The bear *is* pretty creepy. Smokescreen: no i mean what you said- and I refuse to think the bear'll be evil. no no no Thenightetc: What? About mommy reminding you of something? Immortalspark: even if he's not...I don't trust relentlessly cheery things in un-cheery worlds Thenightetc: Usually when something's inexplicably terrifying, it IS because it subconsciously reminds you of something. Thenightetc: Even if you don't necessarily remember what. Immortalspark: this is true Thenightetc: ...that looks like a giant, wounded spider crouching in the middle of the room Knock Out: WELL, THEN. Immortalspark: no it's dead it's a dead spider very dead Thenightetc: What've you got against spiders :/ Immortalspark: not me Immortalspark: aw look that tree is waving at us Thenightetc: I think I saw one of those shadow beasts again Thenightetc: Not that tree, a different one, further away Thenightetc: ...Where *is* the bear at this point? Is he walking around behindyou? Knock Out: On its back, I believe. Immortalspark: he is hanging onto the kid's back Thenightetc: ...Ahhhh. Immortalspark: radioactive sentient teddy bears, standard for every toy store Knock Out: I'm not sure I understand what this memory is supposed to represent. Knock Out: That time mommy did a stint in a Scooby Doo-esque haunted house? Immortalspark: that time when Mommy was a vampire? Thenightetc: Camping trip gone wrong? Knock Out: That time Mommy ferried the dead back and forth? Knock Out: Did they go camping because Mommy had to tie stones to the feet of a snitch? Knock Out: This place is awful. Immortalspark: it does have quite an...atmosphere Thenightetc: Is it just me or does the bear sound like Winnie the Pooh now Knock Out: You can hear it whenever he's distressed about something. Knock Out: Or stating the obvious. Smokescreen: I'm gonna have to head off- thank you for the stream, Woojit! I gotta get rid of all the shadows in my home Knock Out: Best of luck! Give them my regards! Thenightetc: Just remember, every light you turn on makes more shadows! Immortalspark: See you later, Smokescreen! Smokescreen: what?? but. I'm covered in biolights Thenightetc: Oooo, hard luck there. Smokescreen: hhhhhhhhhhhhh Thenightetc: woah what Thenightetc: welllllll have fun with that, I guess. Thenightetc: So what's with the well, wasn't that in a picture with someone standing beside it? Thenightetc: Is someone going to crawl out of there Immortalspark: another bear?? Knock Out: The Boot Lady who mysteriously disappeared ten years ago? Immortalspark: I'm glad you rescued that Thenightetc: I'm glad you didn't fall in. Thenightetc: ...I saw something moving Knock Out: Where did you see it? Thenightetc: Dunno. But it looked like a sort of light humanoid figure walking hurriedly past Knock Out: That frightens me more than anything that's actually happened thus far. Thenightetc: (I'm afraid I have *no* sense of directing when watching someone else play.) Thenightetc: Well, it seemed to be going *away* from you... sorta. Cardinal: Greetings! Cardinal: Uh oh, one of THESE games. Thenightetc: You missed all the fun! Knock Out: Hello, Cardinal! Cardinal: Hello alternate! Cardinal: Also, awww. Thenightetc: Smokescreen went home to turn on all the lights. Or possibly turn off all the lights. :) Cardinal: Is the moon after him again? Knock Out: Oh, I wouldn't say you missed much. Just a mysterious figure and Smokescreen's education on shadow beasts. Cardinal: Bless that boy. Thenightetc: I wonder what that weird tentacle-shaped thing is Thenightetc: I keep seeing it in the background. Knock Out: ...Interesting! Thenightetc: ...VERY INTERESTING Knock Out: DEAR SWEET SCRAP. Immortalspark: !! Thenightetc: Hey, I think it's that picture again! Thenightetc: And it... changes when you go up to it? Knock Out: Well, frag me flying! You're right! Thebes: Well that only has good implications Thebes: certainly nothing horrifying about this Thenightetc: What a lot of blood. I'm sure nothing awful happened here. Knock Out: I liked the Swamp Mother more when she was an imaginary thing we made up to frighten Smokescreen. Thenightetc: Maybe our ~imagination~ made it real. Knock Out: ...I refuse to take away a lesson from that. Thenightetc: I'm busy imagining that she's going to go away and never come back. Immortalspark: teddy bear isn't saying "this place is unsettling" anymore Thenightetc: So when this happens, does it mean she's close, or Thenightetc: I hear humming again Thenightetc: Wait, are you sure the book isn't something you're supposed to pick up? Thenightetc: Yeah, that one Knock Out: ...You do it. Thenightetc: Just, it looked like the picture you went through to get here was of the mother reading a book to the daughter Thebes: It did look like that Thenightetc: ...Huh. Thenightetc: ...is the bear plotting to murder the mother Knock Out: "Child" my tailpipe. *I* shouldn't have to go through all this. Thenightetc: because I'm getting that feeling Thebes: that does seem to be what it is aiming at Thebes: ... 'aiming' Knock Out: I was going to suggest packing it in, but it looks like we're almost at the end. Knock Out: Should we try for it? Thenightetc: Yeah! Knock Out: That's the spirit! Immortalspark: go for it! Thenightetc: what the heck Immortalspark: ...what Knock Out: This couldn't have less to do with childhood. Immortalspark: I have very little frame of reference and even I was questioning that Immortalspark: though I imagine I would have had a lot of fun with a really long conveyor belt thingy with sheep on the side of it Thenightetc: ...picture of Swamp Mother? Knock Out: Or some variety of root vegetable. Thenightetc: You can see the resemblance, though, right Knock Out: I was going to suggest packing it in, but it looks like we're almost at the end. Knock Out: Should we try for it? Thenightetc: Yeah! Knock Out: That's the spirit! Immortalspark: go for it! Thenightetc: what the heck Immortalspark: ...what Knock Out: This couldn't have less to do with childhood. Immortalspark: I have very little frame of reference and even I was questioning that Immortalspark: though I imagine I would have had a lot of fun with a really long conveyor belt thingy with sheep on the side of it Thenightetc: ...picture of Swamp Mother? Knock Out: Or some variety of root vegetable. Thenightetc: You can see the resemblance, though, right Thenightetc: well, that sure is a shadow of some description Knock Out: Wasn't it just? Thenightetc: Why are there marks on the floor and ceiling there Knock Out: I've been wondering that myself. Immortalspark: hanging baby clothes Knock Out: Well, I'm stuck. Knock Out: ...And tempted to spend the right of my life in the closet. Immortalspark: green cabinets? yikes Knock Out: *The horror.* Immortalspark: truly Thenightetc: O_O Thenightetc: more drawings Knock Out: This had better nor turn into a Tattletail scenario where those drawings matter. Knock Out: *not Thebes: They probably do though Knock Out: And how is this infant humant scaling narrow boards and knocking down bottles with fruit? Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most humanlings have trouble directing their fists to their mouths? Thenightetc: Possession? Knock Out: That works. Thebes: plus what if this stuff just... isn't actually happening? Thenightetc: Yeah, it did start when the toddler went to sleep Immortalspark: seems like some deranged nightmare thing Thenightetc: what IS all this black stuff everywhere Knock Out: Smears of the teamwork that brought us this far? Thenightetc: It's kind of like something squeezed into the corner between the wall and the floor and left those behind Thenightetc: Is this going to have something to do with the elephant the bear hid and made you find at the beginning Thenightetc: nnnnnnope Thenightetc: wait was that a death Immortalspark: that one was in a coat Thenightetc: what HAPPENED there Thenightetc: what the Immortalspark: oh Knock Out: Oh indeed. Immortalspark: the bear got it Thenightetc: ohhhh dear Knock Out: ...Well! Thenightetc: Well indeed Knock Out: That was an experience that brought no one joy. Thenightetc: Well put-together, though Cardinal: Yet we survived. Cardinal: Right? Knock Out: We did. We really did! Cardinal: Or did we. Immortalspark: do not fix the bear Knock Out: Was that a thing we were supposed to do? Immortalspark: the voice at the end said he would Immortalspark: ominously Thenightetc: ...I found what the song she was humming apparently was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIiuaXEZodE Immortalspark: I am left feeling that this is a bad idea Knock Out: EUGH! Thenightetc: ...Hey, that was the link in the thread, don't blame me. Knock Out: Well, at least it's a nice song. Knock Out: And the troll appears to be a better mother. Immortalspark: it does Knock Out: So! That was Among the Sleep. Knock Out: I wouldn't say that's a *good* place to leave it for tonight, but it's...a place? Thenightetc: I thought it was good. Very atmospheric, resisted the temptation to kill the player every two minutes Cardinal: A place it is. Knock Out: Thank you all for coming and experiencing...that? With me? Thebes: Certainly can't argue that Thenightetc: ...and much better than the ink thing Immortalspark: much better Knock Out: Much, much better. Thenightetc: Thank you for the stream. :) Knock Out: Always a pleasure!
