random post, but there's like... only a single point of SU canon that I outright ignore, and that's the tiny moment at the beginning of Monster Reunion where Steven somehow "mends" a plushie as their re-introduction to his healing powers.
i think this is very lame and personally ignore the idea that he can "mend" matter that isn't organic or gem in nature completely, because i just don't see how it makes sense. i would've far preferred him re-discovering his powers by healing a wilting flower or something

Of My 50+ Favorite BLs these are the 10 I rewatch the most
So you could call these my favorite comfort foods. Everything on this list got a rating of 10/10 or 9/10 from me.
10 Most Comforting BLs
(for me, in order of most recently rewatched at the top)
Tumblr media
Our Dating Sim
Korea 2023 Viki (watch the series not the movie)
This is a perfect short form KBL, an office set reunion romance featuring geeks that really suits 8 eps with no fluff and no chaff. Just comforting and yummy. I adored every aspect from the casting to the pristinely simple premise to the quietly smooth execution. Sure it’s low stakes, but that makes it high domesticity and extremely warm and gentle. This is a fuzzy blanket of a story - a cozy BL. It lives in my rewatch pile and you know what’s best about it? Every single episode is in that pile. There’s no skipping with this one, it might be good natured and calmly sweet but it’s tight and the pacing is excellent.
Tumblr media
Cosmetic Playlover
Japan 2024 Gaga
The most recent release on this list, it came out this year and I've already rewatched it 5x. I love this little show. It's a classic office BL about the older workaholic who loves his job and the younger upstart who unexpectedly loves his boss. It’s a hyung romance where everybody is extremely earnest and sweet and pretty about everything. Except our seme, who is slightly unhinged and a little obsessed in all the ways one likes best from Japan (if one is me). Plus the kisses are good! Utterly charming unexpected gem of a show. What fun!
Tumblr media
Jun and Jun
Korea 2023 Viki
A delightful office romance about an ex-idol who joins cubical life only to find his new boss is his first love. Other boys are sniffing around too. Operative word being "sniffing" as much of this romance involves smell. With a snappy (sometimes even raunchy) script, enjoyable sides, a pretty as peaches cast, and decent chemistry this show made up for in style what it lacked in substance. I like fluff. I loved this. I smiled every moment I was watching. My only caution is this is for fans of the BL genre only, I don’t think it’ll work for anyone else.
Tumblr media
My Personal Weatherman
AKA Taikan Yoho
Japan 2023 Gaga
This style of live action yaoi really only works from Japan. Basically: boys who fell in love in college end up living together but are so repressed they don't realize they're in love. It's higher heat than we usually get from Japan's HEA stuff, and that aspect is also very well done, but it leaned into the "why don't they just talk for fuck's sake?" trope which is only exacerbated into undiluted frustration by the fact that they're already fucking. It's great, but watching requires more patience than usual, even for Japan. That said it's also bruisingly romantic. Emphasis on bruise.
Tumblr media
Unintentional Love Story
Korea 2023 iQIYI
OMG the plot! Uke forced into a totally understandable betrayal, falling in love despite himself, put into a corner he can't get out of, the AGONY, the PAIN in those gorgeous eyes. Gah. Okay, so: A boy loses his job due to trumped-up corruption charges accidentally discovers his ex-boss's favorite artist, now a recluse. Evil manager offers him his job back, if he can convince the artist to rejoin society. Instead, they fall in love. I found the artist a bit stiff and reserved but Gongchan (maknae of B1A4) is a fucking GIFT - he carried this show (which I do not expect from the idol element). He was luminous with extraordinarily expressive eyes, just drown in the emoting abyss. The external conflict, social tension and pressure is complex and beautifully executed, plus Korea gave us legit side dishes (NOT a love triangle, hally-fucking-luya). All that said, when I rewatch this it's usually just the second half, but WHAT a ride.
Tumblr media
Semantic Error
Korea 2022 Viki
Sexy older boy discovers pouty younger boy has outed him as a slacker, starts out bullying him, accidentally falls madly in love instead. Korea hits it entirely out of the Parks by doing a university BL with everything we expect from BL just done exactly right. Korea's signature quality executed perfectly with added bonus good story, great pacing, stunning visuals, and fantastic chemistry. You cannot ask for more from a BL, let alone a KBL. Another one where the rewatch is mostly just the second half.
Tumblr media
Old Fashion Cupcake
Japan 2022
This show had me from the moment they broke the egg yolk with the chopsticks in the opening credits. It’s about a younger man with a long cherished crush on his boss (ten years older and going through a mid life crisis) who decides to save and seduce said boss with pancakes. It’s wholesome, comforting, sexy, and a very necessary narrative about still having hope, interests, and openness to affection at any age. It’s a stunningly filmed late-in-life comg of age/queerness story packaged in a subtle critique of expectations around masculinity, love, and loneliness… and it’s beautiful.
Yes yes. But the bit you know you want to rewatch is that long shot with the bite kiss. YOU KNOW you wanna.
Tumblr media
Seven Days
Japan 2015
Ha! I faked you out 'cause this wasn't at the top but of course it's on the list! One of the best live action yaois ever made, with perfectly structured angst, fantastic characters and acting, and no problematic tropes (rare in Japanese BL). Older boy dares the hot af younger one to date him for a week. Turns out they both like it... A lot. The leads have excellent chemistry although it’s low heat there’s still some really cute mutual kisses.
Tumblr media
Takara & Amagi
Japan 2022
I gnawed on my knuckles and squealed a lot with this show, but a rewatch is way less tense. Reserved cool kid must learn to communicate to keep the tiny disaster nugget he’s madly in love with. It is beyond charming: soft and gentle, packed with cuteness and high school angst, thirst, & yearning.
Tumblr media
We Best Love
Taiwan 2021 WeTV
WBL successfully managed to pick up and combine the best features of Korean, Thai, and Japanese BL as it exists right now. Couple that to the insane chemistry from the leads, and we have one of the greatest BLs of all time, cooking to a recipe I doubt anyone else will ever be able to replicate since only Taiwan is this flexible. It's basically every classic BL trope bombarded at us in two parts, rapid fire, one after another. Rewatching this show reminds me of everything I love about this genre. It is the genre in pure concentrated form.
The End!
I think it's no accident that none of these are Thai, part of a rewatch for me is the brevity of the show, longer stuff does get rewatched, but not as frequently.

ᯓ ✈︎ favourite writers
@sometimesanalice
@honkytonk-hangman
@tip-top-cloud-surfer
@roosterbruiser
@tropes-and-tales
@dearsnow
ᯓ ✈︎ favourite fics
Leave A Light On - @sometimesanalice
When Bradley had given you a key to his place, what he probably didn’t expect was to find you there at 2 am sitting at the piano you’d helped him find.
I read this relatively recently and it's become one of my favourite fics ever. Choosing only one from @sometimesanalice is difficult, but I just cannot not include this. Disregarding the fact that the plot in and of itself is a warm hug in written form, the build-up is so subtle but so well-crafted; it takes you on a journey that doesn't feel out of place or takes away from the main storyline. I find fluff to be a bit more straightforward to write and read as it's typically relatively easy to instil fluffy, lovey feelings, but the feelings @sometimesanalice instilled through this is unmatched—it goes beyond fluffy feelings in a way that is so difficult to describe and is just so beautifully written that it's difficult to put into words. Ever read something and been so close to crying because it's written in a way that makes you feel how loved the main characters are and you want to experience that yourself but you don't think that that level of love and devotion exists? Tada! I would have to say that this is definitely a top fic overall across all the fandoms I read. The literature community best be pleased that this writer is not a published author, because they'd be taking ALL the money.
Truly, Madly, Deeply - @tongue-like-a-razor
Bradley Bradshaw is madly in love with a married woman.
This was one of the first fics I thought of when compiling my Top Gun favourites, and definitely is amongst my top 5 fics throughout all fandoms. It's so wonderfully written in that the plot gives absolutely nothing away until the end. Bradley's characterisation, and how it bounces off the reader's, is done so well and makes him so endearing; he's charming and flirty without coming across too forced or rehearsed—which is difficult to write. Similarly, Lena has a knack that's perfectly illustrated here of being able to build romantic tension through subtle moments. The banter between them both feels so natural and engaging, and contributes to the sense of intimacy that pushes the plot forward. It's such as fun and fluffy read that I fell in love immediately, and I continue to re-read just to nail the point home that I'm incredibly lonely :)
It's That Simple - @tropes-and-tales
Praise Kink.
Where to start with this gem. This fic overall manages to brilliantly balance emotional depth with humour, with the lighthearted tone and comedic moments helping to keep the fic feeling fun without undermining the serious feelings involved—a testament to the excellent writing and curated narrative flow. Another thing that is done so well is portraying the complexities of relationships, capturing both the mundane and extraordinary aspects of intimacy. I also really enjoyed the portrayal of male insecurity when it comes to intimacy too—something I rarely come across. Everything about this fic, from the humour to the complexities of insecurity and how it feeds into intimacy, is done so tastefully and portrayed in such a heartwarming way that I remember reading this for the first time and feeling empty after finishing, wishing there was more.
12:29AM - @dearsnow
Your normally sober husband comes home drunk out of his mind after a party, and you can’t say that he’s any less sweet.
I'm pretty sure this was my first foray into Bob Floyd fics, and I can't say I regret it. This is the perfect blend of fluff and humour that just leaves you feeling all warm and giggly and fuzzy. One key bit I love is Bob's characterisation; the perfect balance of fluff, love, and humour that perfectly captures his character so well. The contrast between the Bob we see - composed, responsible—and his drunken, unfiltered self is hilariously endearing. A definite favourite Bob Floyd fic and one I always come back to when I want a fic that will just wrap me in a warm hug and tell me it's all okay.
When Jake Met Polly - @honkytonk-hangman
 Jake likes to flirt with his Air Traffic Controller.
When compiling this list, I knew that @honkytonk-hangman needed to be included, but boy was it difficult to choose only ONE fic. I think I'm happy with my decision. I absolutely adore the seamless back-and-forth between the reader and Jake, and really adds to the chemistry. But while the overall plot is light-hearted and comedic, you can definitely feel a subtle emotional undercurrent where the romance develops slowly but steadily. The slow build of playfulness that then leads into genuine moments of connection makes the romantic moments feel earned, and it doesn't feel rushed or forced. Their ability to write in a way that builds undeniable chemistry while interweaving moments of vulnerability is just *chef's kiss*.
My Darlin’ - @mydarlingrose
When the daggers are spontaneously relocated in Texas in for a mission and have no where to stay, Jake lets them stay at his place and discover Jake has been keeping a secret from them for a very long time.
This is the fic that started my secret-wife and jake-is-a-girl-dad shtick that has prevailed to this day. It's a great blend of heart-melting fluff and humour. I love how you can still see the bits of Hangman that we see in the movie, and the banter between the Daggers, while also tapping into a different side. They both don't feel mutually exclusive and instead compliment one another. Definitely one to starve off my lack of affection :)

I LOVE YOU.
Tumblr media
(this is the attached photo and i HAD to include it 😭)
🌟 @bitchesuntitled nominated @beefrobeefcal 🌟
Hooooly shit. What can I say about Kiki that I haven’t already told her?! She is an amazing human being and I aspire to be like her. She is so kind even when others are not so nice. She’s one of the most creative people I know and I absolutely love when we get on a tangent in ALL CAPS ABOUT AN IDEA. She is so willing to help anyone and everyone- whether it’s a fic or a moodboard or you’re just feeling down in the dumps about something! I think she is one of the best people in this fandom and I am so glad to have her in my life ❤️ Also just a bit of a personal story to show the kind of person she is, when I was first getting sober I was worried about how I would handle July 4th because as an American it’s a very ‘Merica fuck yeah! Let’s drink! holiday and she checked in on me multiple times during the day and let me just ramble to her about different things so that I wouldn’t be tempted to drink 🥰❤️🥰❤️ So yeah, she’s a good egg.
🌟 @sixhours nominated @bumblepony 🌟
Hello m'dear, I have an entry for your end-of-year celebration. 🥶 I wanted to give a shout-out to @bumblepony who, in addition to being a talented and prolific fic writer, has commissioned sooooooo many artworks for other TLOU fanfic writers this year (myself included). She's a gem, and this fandom is so fortunate to have her. 🥰
🌟 @bluestar22x nominated @trulybetty and @morallyinept 🌟
Can't narrow down my pick for this to one, so @trulybetty and @morallyinept are both getting nominated. Both have been so kind and supportive of me and both are super talented writers. Thank you both for your kind words and sharing your wonderful fics.
🌟 @i-love-movies nominated @thegreenkid2 🌟

🌟 @sp00kymulderr nominated @dieterbravobrainrotclub 🌟
Every member of the brainrot club, for being feral and silly and fun and thoughtful and insightful in so many ways. For making my year extra special. For making so many fun memories, and helping to lighten the mood. For your dedication to the man that is Dieter Bravo.
Tumblr media
☃️ your favorite line of fic that you wrote this year
🌟 @bluestar22x - The Outcast
Favorite line: Guiding you into your future, like you had guided him home.
Fic: The Outcast
What makes it special to you: It's hard to pick one line from a fanfic I wrote this year, but I do love this line that ends my story "The Outcast". It's the first favorite line I thought of because it's simple and calls back to how it began. The fic is very themed around finding/discovering what you need with the help of another person.
🌟 @bitchesuntitled - Xerox
Favorite line: Jamie lets out a pathetic, “Oh d-d-dear,” sounding almost identical to Piglet from Winnie the Pooh, and audibly gulps while furiously nodding his head.
Fic: Xerox
What makes it special to you: I knew from the moment I started writing this story that I wanted Xerox!Pedro to be this inexperienced bumbling idiot and thinking about him stuttering out an “Oh dear” like Piglet cracked me up so much 🤣 It still makes me laugh whenever I see it/think about it
Tumblr media
🌨️ your favorite memory from fandom this year
🌟 @sp00kymulderr had a favorite memory with @chronically-ghosted
We created the Dieter Bravo Brainrot Club in January 2024 and it has been easily my favourite place to hangout this year. I'm so glad that it exists, and I want to shout out: YOU, Taylor. The Dieter brainrot would not even exist without you. I love how we have spent so much time together this year spiralling over That Man. I love that I got to read so many of your wonderful fics about him, and scream about him with you. I love that we created a space together for others who feel the same way. I love being your friend.
🌟 @i-love-movies had a favorite memory with @miss-mandalorian
This fandom gave me a lovely friendship with @miss-mandalorian which I cherish very much even though a big ass ocean lies between us and we have yet to meet IRL. She just recently set me the most lovely gift. 💖
Tumblr media
🌲 your favorite piece of media you made for fandom this year
🌟 @i-love-movies is super proud of:
Gladiator 2 South Park! Pedros
"I made this set of Gladiator 2 South Park! Pedros. I haven't posted a lot of South Park! Pedro this year cause I didn't feel very creative. This one sparked some of my creativity again."

gmorning my lovely!!! I recently read your first date fic with Karasu and it has me feeling all warm and fuzzy 🥹💘 I was wondering what the ideal first date would be like for some of your other oc’s! I must admit, I’m most intrigued by the idea of a date with Tenebris, Belial, and Azra hehe 🤭 (but ofc if you wanna gush about any others pls do!!!!!)
Tumblr media
First date ideas with the OCs! Love it. This got really long. lol
SFW (with a NSFW-ish part at the end) below:
Azra takes you somewhere for dinner, a middle-ground establishment that's not too ritzy but just enough so that he has an excuse to dress up for you. It'll be formal but not too stuffy, with a warm and almost romantic ambience. He's the kind of demon to play coy and bump his foot or knee (or tail) against you under the table during the meal. (If you seem uncomfortable with it, he'll stop.) He's not going to be put off by excuses about having nothing to wear, either. He offers to set up an appointment at Majolish for you to pick out something (charged to his account, of course).
Zee is finally asking you out after denying for way too long that he was interested in you romantically at all. Chances are he's skipping the typical "date night on the town" and inviting you to his home for dinner, because he doesn't mess around and nothing can say how excited or grateful he is than cooking something for you.
Karasu is a bit more traditional so naturally his first date suggestion is dinner at the most expensive joint in town. You can talk him down easily to something more casual when he realizes that his first impulsive choice might've been overwhelming (he'll wait a few dates and then try suggesting it again).
Tenebris invites you to things that aren't obviously dates but they might as well be: picking up more potion supplies, going to the bookstore to check out the new releases, stopping by one of the cafes near RAD after classes are over. He's hesitant to put a label on your relationship and his feelings for you, but he can't help himself and feels more and more tempted to act on them. What shifts these little outings into dating territory, whether he admits it or not, is that he offers to buy you things. If something catches your eye, it's no trouble at all for him to slip it into his own order and pay for everything together. He offers to get you a drink or a snack, or even a full meal if he thinks you're willing to stay with him that long, and orders himself something even if he's not hungry or thirsty. He's content just to spend time with you and give you little tokens of affection. Err, appreciation, he calls them later when Diavolo asks how things went later. Nothing suspicious at all about that, right?
Belial methodically plans out your first proper date but it's highly dependent on the type of date he thinks you want.
If you're a bit shy, he knows the best undiscovered gems in the Devildom where you can get a fantastic meal without the usual crowds of the city's popular eateries. He's dressed down by his standards so you feel comfortable and less insecure about whatever casual outfit you might be wearing. Chances are he rushed over to pick you up as soon as you texted him you might consider going on a date with him (he took that as a decisive yes). His enthusiasm is contagious and it's kind of flattering too - when was the last time someone was so happy and grateful for your company?
If you don't mind being in the spotlight a bit, your first date happens to coincide with an event at Diavolo's castle. He paid for whatever outfit you picked out to wear at Majolish (and he ordered an outfit for himself to match). He picks you up at the House of Lamentation so he can escort you personally, and his choice of transportation isn't subtle. It'll be one of his many cars that you seemed to like most, or maybe you were enchanted by his stable of dreadsteeds more - he can bring the old chariot out of retirement just for you. There's no mistaking his intentions when he leads you through the castle doors with your arm tucked into his.
Metatron is sort of like Tenebris because he invites you to accompany him to do all sorts of random and inconsequential things, but judging by his constant blush and the shy way he keeps looking at you and biting his lip while his fingers brush your hand but he's too shy to take hold of it...well, you get the idea that maybe this wasn't just a platonic outing after all. The Celestial Realm has so many amazing and beautiful places he wants to show you, and all of his suggestions will be what he thinks you'd enjoy. He might even sneak you away to the Human World to show you the places he likes most there, but try not to let Seraphiel find out. Three's a crowd and all.
Tumblr media
Curious about who puts out on the first date?
Tumblr media
Azra wants you. He wants you so bad. He's trying to be patient because he thinks that's what he should do. This is one of the rare times he drives himself rather than letting Zee drive for him. He might not want to sleep with you on the first date, but he won't be able to resist a car makeout if your goodnight kiss at the end of the night gets heated. He wants to wait until date #2 before doing more, but he'll make it up to you.
Chances are this has been a long time coming, so Zee definitely has high hopes that you'll be welcoming of his many advances once the dinner he's cooked for you is finished. If all you want is a kiss, that's okay too - it'll be the best kiss you've had in a long while, and he won't complain about a cozy little makeout session on his couch before driving you home. (He's very careful about not cutting your lips or tongue with his fangs.)
Karasu is too shy to kiss you after a first date, or probably the first handful of dates. Let him take his time and get used to handholding and hugging and sitting closer than friends should - his affectionate side will bloom not long after. He'll be very obvious when he's ready to move onto kissing chastely, and then kissing passionately and other things after that.
Tenebris will kiss you if you want him to. He kisses your cheek first and he's just close enough to your mouth that you can tilt your head into it, or you can pull away if you don't want more than that. He doesn't mean to be teasing, but he doesn't want to come on too strongly either. (He probably won't go further than kissing on the first date.)
Belial won't make the first move, but if you've given him any indication that a kiss (or more) would be welcome, he's practically vibrating at the thought of getting to touch you. He gets very affectionate and touchy-feely when he's turned on (you might be surprise how affected he is). He brings the back of your hand to his cheek and rubs against it, or he squeezes your waist lightly when he wraps an arm around you, or he just blatantly stares at your lips if you wet them, or even when you talk. He's tempted. Very tempted. He can't bring himself to ask for a kiss no matter how much he wants one. If you're agreeable to a kiss (or more), let him know without any room for doubt and he'll happily oblige you. (He manages to get you both home before he practically carries you to his bedroom. Barely. The backseat of his car looked awfully tempting.)
Metatron is waiting for the right signs from you that not only do you enjoy his company, but that his romantic advances are welcome. Because the line of friends-to-more than friends gets blurrier over time with him, it's hard to pinpoint when your first date really is. It's probably a scenario where you've gotten used to holding hands or cuddling beside each other, and chances are he'll ask if he can kiss you when he thinks you're ready - or perhaps he's waiting longer than he needs to, in which case, feel free to kiss that sweet angel senseless.

Chapitre 183 - The World of Sand 
In which ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THIS IS INCREDIBLE. 
BLACK AND WHITE INVERSE COLOUR SAKURA AND SYAORANS? OHHHHH CLAMP ARE GENEROUS. CLAMP ARE GIVING.
Even just how each couple is wearing the colour opposite to their background, but also the opposite of the opposing pair.
And how the feathers are in the SAME but OPPOSITE part of the page for each side, showing that they are visual inversions of each other’s reality, but the feathers don’t look the same, and are shown at unique angles. Potentially they’re falling on one side but rising on the other. Potentially it’s the same for each, but its showing that neither story is complete without the perspective of the other. 
And how the small circles on the right are small and clearly defined against the background - perhaps falling water droplets, like the falling feathers around them? - while the ones on the left are fuzzy shiny orbs, like motes of air or magic rising through the sky. I think the implication of movement is a bit open to interpretation, you could go either way. IS one side falling and the other rising? Is the fate of that Sakura/Syaoran pair falling downward while the other rises? Is one falling to ALLOW the other to rise? Is one pair doomed by fate BECAUSE they are clones? Or are they drifting down and out of the narrative and into freedom, while the other pair takes up the fight in their stead? Is one background Black because their future is dark, or because they CAME from that darkness, as created tools of Evil Wolverine? Or is it their clothes that matter? Are they the light in the dark, the fragments of people who fought to change the future despite their origins? White clothing because they were initially empty and devoid of anything? Is the other background similarly white because it hasn’t been written yet - a future so undefined that no-one can tell what it will be when this is all over?
Are the circles actually heading in the same direction on both sides of the page, and the difference is how they are perceived? How one stands out against the darkness while the other needs help to be seen at all? The clones WERE the most visible throughout most of the story, and only through their existence did the other pair get the chance to enter the narrative again. 
I - oH fuck I forgot that this would be in colour and that I HAVE IT. PLEASE HOLD. WHERE IS IT. 
HERE IT IS! LOOK LOOK LOOK
Tumblr media
EVEN THE SPLASH TEXT IS INVERTED
MIRROR IMAGES
And OH all that gorgeous golden ornamentation, the gem colours actually staying the same on both sides of the page. The clasp on Syaoran’s upper arm is the same symbol as on the previous cover, on Fai and Kurogane's clothing, which is a very fun connection that shows it wasn’t just an alternate world we didn’t see, but an intended shared thread of imagery for them all. 
The long pieces of jewellery that the Sakuras wear are gorgeous and delicate and intricate. It could be echoing the design of vines and natural growth - perhaps because she can communicate with spirits, and is in touch with the natural world, or perhaps because she is a desert flower herself, growing out of a literal world of sand but also blooming despite the extreme adversity, and blossoming out of pure determination. It also has visual echoes of imprisonment - it circles her neck not at a low level like a necklace, but high like a collar. It spreads across her like roots, holding her in place - or is it the opposite of that now? Is she, aware of her fate as she is, wearing Evil Wolverine’s designs like they're just a gown to be worn? Something she can’t take off but has learned to make work for her?
The Syaorans have a circular loop in the design of their coat around their necks as well - because they’ve been just as trapped in Evil Wolverine’s schemes. For the Syaoran on the right especially the loop around his neck has two circular gems visible that could echo the same shape as the goggles he used to wear, bringing in an element of the past that shaped who he is but at the same time was a design placed on him from birth, one that was all by someone else’s plan. 
AND THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THEM. The colour version lets you see the heterochromia in Syaoran's eyes on the right, showing which pair is which, and the DIFFERENCES in how they stand. (If they ARE in the pairs you would expect) Clone Sakura looks down, as if unfocussed, because she IS currently narratively dead. Or is she instead gazing at her hand, being held by Syaoran? She has wanted this so desperately and for so long. Does she look sad because she is currently dead, meaning they might never be actually together? Is she unfocussed because she has not yet had the chance to truly see that her sacrifice worked, and that Syaoran really has been restored? Either way, Syaoran holds her hand up in support, gently from below. 
The Syaoran on the left holds the other Sakura’s hand up close to his chest, hand clenched tight. This Sakura and Syaoran both look ahead - at where they are going? At what lies ahead for them both? Neither looks especially happy, but neither looks especially unhappy either. Lava Lamp has always been particularly unreadable, but the way he grasps her hand betrays how hard he’s been fighting for her. Sakura in turn looks just as unfocussed as her counterpart - and if Evil Wolverine is to be believed, it’s because she’s also dead. I DO NOT BELIEVE THIS THOUGH. She could potentially be in dreams, asleep for the entire plotline, held as a backup until they free her. She is not particularly aware that her hand is being held, and isn’t participating in the motion like the other Sakura seems to be, but she looks ahead all the same. Whatever they're looking at, they're clearly moving in a different direction entirely to their clone counterparts.
Meanwhile Clone Syaoran looks directly at the camera.

halloween at the topline
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
usually, halloween at the topline didn't cause any changes. a few decorations here and there, and of course, the club goers would come in costume. this year, though, there was definitely a change.
jisung shoved the heavy metal door to the staff room open, grinning as he looked at chan and minho. "what d'you think?" he did a little twirl. jisung was in a vampire costume, fake teeth glued on and all. he smiled widely to show off his new sharp teeth, adorned with two little diamond tooth gems on either one. he had a smoky eye done, his lips a bloody shade of red to match the fake blood smeared at the corner of his mouth. his outfit was simpler, a baggy black graphic t-shirt that was way too big for him, and tight black jeans with a few silver chains, plus his regular black platformed boots.
"i'm a vampire!" he exclaimed, as if it wasn't obvious. "yeah." minho mumbled, more focused on fixing his own costume. jisung couldn't stop himself from bursting into a fit of laughter upon seeing minho, flopping onto the couch and writhing around as he laughed loudly. "shut up." minho growled and jisung did, after a few moments.
minho was dressed as a bunny, two fuzzy white ears pinned into his hair, a sharp juxtaposition to his black hair and sharp eyes. he wore a white sweater, one that was baggy enough to expose his collarbones, the knit of it being slightly see-through. a small, round white tail accompanied his ears, pinned into the back of his tight, form-fitting black jeans. his eyes were lined with thin black eyeliner, and his lips and cheeks were lightly colored. it was softer than anything he'd usually go for.
he stood in front of the full body mirror, blinking a few times at himself. he wouldn't say he felt insecure, but maybe a bit uncomfortable.
"i feel stupid." minho mumbled, fixing the fluffy white ears upon his head. "you kinda look stupid." jisung grinned wolfishly, the smirk getting smacked off of his face when minho hit him in the back of his head. "no one asked you." he glared, and jisung giggled to himself.
chan was busy, fixing his own ears, a pair of dark gray, almost black wolf ears. he wore his usual uniform, a white button-up, the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, accompanied by black slacks. the only addition was a tail on the back.
chan turned around, arms crossed across his chest. "be nice! this is supposed to be fun! plus, we're charging an entrance fee, so we're all getting paid good. it's just one night, right? don't be all dramatic." chan huffed to the both of them, glaring at minho who was standing awkwardly and jisung, who was splayed out on the couch.
it wasn't long before felix and hyunjin came out, dressed as two opposites. felix looked angelic, which was appropriate for his costume. an angel. he wore a silky white button-up with way too many buttons undone, light wash denim jeans on his lower half. he had a little fuzzy white halo above his head and feathery wings to match. silver glitter adorned his face, all the way down his chest, with more concentrated amounts of it right under his eyes and cheeks. his cheeks were blushed sweetly, and his lips were sparkly and glossy.
hyunjin was the opposite, which was a bit ironic, considering hyunjin definitely had the more reserved personality of the two. he had two little red horns pinned to his hair, his own long black hair pulled up into a half ponytail. he wore a wine colored button-up and a simple, velvety black choker around his neck. he had a tail in the same shade of red attached to his tight, black faux leather pants, long with a little sharp tip. he had reddish eyeshadow around and under his eyes, a black liner emphasizing the sharp corner. he wore a natural cherry lip that went well with the theme.
the aura shifted as soon as they walked in, so confident in themselves. it made everyone feel a bit better soon. "how do you guys feel? gonna become like us for a night~" felix preened, hyunjins arm wrapped around his shoulder as they walked in.
"don't remind me." minho muttered, fixing up his lipstick. "it does pay well, though..." chan trailed off with a shrug.
it was a decision they had collectively made. that for this halloween party, they'd all be available, and their boss would be managing the rest of the party.
they thought it might be an effective way to make extra cash, especially considering this party was going to have only the most important of guests, the most high paying. the entrance fee cost basically guaranteed that they'd all be going home with a stack of cash.
"don't stress, really. it's not so bad." felix reassured, splitting off from hyunjin to sit down with jisung.
their special halloween menu was lined with their usual options, from the more simple and innocent ones to the ones that warranted a private room. the first cost was who you wanted to be with, the second being the amount of time, and the third being the action. a date, a kiss, a lap dance or performance, and the options only went further.
"well... are we all ready?" chan asked quietly, tilting his head, his artificial ears flopping as he did so. "i think we're ready as we'll ever be." jisung grinned.
the club was packed, filled with individuals in expensive outfits that could barely be described as costumes, throwing on one or two accessories at most. there was decor all around, and the lights were dim, a reddish hue cast across the club.
the boys made their way to the back part of the club where the workers would typically wait to be chosen. jisung made himself comfortable on the couch, kicking his feet up. chan sat next to him, while felix and hyunjin were already on the dance floor. minho leaned against a wall, drink in hand. at least tonight would be fun.

hi hello!
I looked at this blog and I am super interested I am looking politely. Anyways. What do the elements entail? What're the specific abilities/notes you have for them? just curious SORRY
No need to be sorry!
Anyway, this world is probably gonna go through a major rehaul, so don’t get too used to any of these concepts.
I’ll put them under the cut, cause this is gonna get long.
Fire monsters are lizard dudes who can breathe fire and exude heat. They can only eat meat.
Sound monsters kinda look like tropical birds from the neck up, but their bodies are humanoid and they have dinosaury tails. They like to sing and have the most advanced medical technology.
Toxic monsters look like snakes and have arms, but no legs. Their septic bite is deadly to all other monsters. They eat venomous plants, mostly, so it’s unknown where the stereotype of them chowing down on grandma when they get a bit peckish comes from.
Psychic monsters look a bit like cats with red gems in their foreheads and can read minds and see into the future if they’re born under the moons. They used to live on a volcanic island (the volcano’s smoke blocked out the sky) until they moved to the rainforest.
Metal monsters look like little gray drakes with sharp claws, frills, and tail blades. They eat metal because it strengthens their scales. They’re known for being anti-social due to them being naturally solitary.
Plant monsters look kinda like six-limbed jaguars with rainbowy fur. Their tails are prehensile and they can hang from trees, but it’s not the most comfortable. They only eat plants.
Air monsters look like Utahraptors with more flight-able wings. They can’t hover or perform complex flying tricks because their bodies are too heavy. It’s said that half of all of them are gray, chatty, and huge people pleasers. Apparently, the other half is brown, chatty, and huge people pleasers. It used to be canon that they didn’t eat birds because they could talk to them, but not anymore.
Electric monsters look like little velociraptors and like to run. They can fire electricity from their mouths. It used to be thought that they were just loners, but it’s a known part of their culture now that they just go on long solitary trips that can last for weeks, sometimes up to a month.
Crystal monsters look like ceratopsians with rocks for horns. They’re named after whichever gemstone they eat first, as their horns will grow with its color and texture. Other than minerals, they also eat underground-dwelling moles, bugs, mushrooms, and fish.
Earth monsters have the heads of ceratopsians, and the bodies of lions. They have designated “breeding nights” once a month, as they’re not raised by their parents, but their siblings instead. They lay 3-6 eggs at a time. Romance isn’t really a thing in their culture, so they’re often dumbstruck when they realize that it’s real and not something that other species invented to write saucy books.
Ice monsters are pretty much anatomically identical to polar bears other than that they have blue manes that run down to their long tails. They’re fancy and have a class system that updates every month, which determines how “useful” you are to their society.
Water monsters are “cetacean mermaids”. From the hips down, they have normal cetacean bodies, but above that, they have humanoid bodies with cetacean heads and narwhal horns on their foreheads. It used to be canon that they didn’t eat fish because they could talk to them, but not anymore.
Light monsters look like fuzzy critters with any combination of “cute” traits (floppy ears, fluffy tails, short snouts, etc). Their queen, with the help of a book and an evil plant, colonized their entire continent, which is different than the one the previous 12 live on. They cut down all the trees, killed off the Dark monsters, and integrated the Faeries as second class citizens.
Faerie monsters are kinda bird and kinda bug. They start off as birds with talon-hands in place of wings, then they go through a month-long metamorphosis in at age 12 or so, which is when they get the cool butterfly wings on their backs. In Light monster society, they don’t get to choose their jobs, and if they’re born able to spin a special kind of silk, they’re sent off to textile mills where they spin it and are only let out to breed and create more special silk spinners.
Dark monsters look like any kind of theropod, with dark blue feathers all over their bodies aside from their hands, feet, and face regardless of which they resemble the most. They were pushed off into a corner of their continent, a place which is now known as the Dark Forest. They’ve been conspiring to overthrow Queen Shining (queen of the Light monsters) ever since she drove them out.
And that’s the last of the monsters! There’s critters too, if you care to read on them.
Trolls look like ugly cute little fuzzy guys with big noses and ears. Their opposable fingers allow them to learn various tricks and even to be service animals.
Goblins look like upright standing, green-skinned pig things that live in the forest and like to steal whatever catches their eyes, which is most often shiny things and treasure (bonus points if it belonged to a monster). Their tails are also absurdly long, which can seem like an evolutionary disadvantage since that’s how they so often get preyed upon.
Orcs, for lack of a better comparison, look like Moblins from Breath of the Wild specifically, other than that they have green skin, a slightly more stocky build, tusks, and a less disproportionate arm:leg ratio. Orcs know how to use tree branches as weapons and that they can tie rocks and bones to them to make them more effective. Troops of them go to war just about every day, and it’s unknown if that thing about them eating rivals’ babies is true or not.
Ogres resemble large theropods, but they stand more upright and have way longer arms which reach down to their hips. They are extremely rare, so it’s unknown if they even exist. They apparently live in far-off, remote caves and only come out when they’re starving.
Rocs are giant, beautiful birds of paradise with colorful tails and head feathers. Both sexes show off to attract each other.
Unicorns are decidedly more majestic and pretty than monokeros, for some reason. No one exactly knows what their horns are for, since it would be less than practical to fight with them as they jut straight out of their heads. Unicorns live in large herds and run around, going wherever the wind takes them.
Monokeros are related to unicorns, despite not really resembling them. They have three toes instead of two, short tails, and horns that can resemble hadrosaurs’ crests. Their crests are colorful, and the ones with the prettiest crests end up breeding. They don’t tend to live in groups, but ones with young babies will probably form them.
Yeah, if you couldn’t tell, this was originally just an uninspired Wings of Fire rip-off. I’m trying to rework it into its own thing, but I’m so far deep into rip-offness that I’ve started subconsciously replacing the word “dragon” with “monster” when I read the books lol. In any case, if you have any more lore questions, don’t be afraid to ask!
Also, thank you for being my second ever ask! I’d give you a silver star, but I couldn’t find any on Google images. So instead, you get a verbal thanks!

hiya marin, sylvie here! i saw you reblogged that "which eeveelution is prev" ask game, and i wanted to say you give me super vaporeon vibes (◍ ´꒳` ◍) however i feel like for me, my vibe might be slightly more skewed towards sylveon, hence my name and all.
i hadn't thought about triggering others' paranoia, hmm...i was thinking about a specific emoji like this star 🌟 or a particularly colored heart 💚 or a flower 🌷 ... something innocuous and unsuspecting that is still particular to us, playing the game. or maybe the message could be something like, "hi, i hope you're having a good day 🌼" ^^; i don't know. you can also be more selective with your guesses, too, if you don't want to worry too many people ( •̀ - • ) and i personally think it might be easy, as i haven't tried to conceal my identity at all, lol. oops ?
what sorts of music do you listen to? i love clairo, and yesterday she released a new album called charm. i've had it on repeat the entire day! i don't know if it's your vibe since i have no clue what music you like, but charm is really fun, casual, homey....very sweet sounds. there are lilting breakdowns and sparkling instrumentals that are like shiny candies for your ears! i wonder what it's like to listen to music with synesthesia. listening to good music and other sensory experiences inspire me like nothing else. it moves me to write and give justice to what i experience. if you decide to listen, i'd love to hear what you think! no pressure at all if you don't want to or don't have the time, though. just being able to talk about it with you makes me happy.
i think i'll gush about individual songs a bit, too: - second nature sounds like a conversation to me, like watching your friend talk and the only thing you can focus on is their face; everything goes fuzzy and you're drinking in every soft laugh that comes from them. there are laugh samples in the background and brief moments where the music totally changes up, but that only adds to the conversational feeling to me. a 'stream of consciousness' sort of song, blurred and buoyant at the edges. very cozy listen. it makes me feel like i'm suspended in honey :3 - thank you is my favorite track off the album, i think. i had it on loop for hours today. it expresses such a sweet sentiment... i think clairo excels at inventing new ways to say 'i love you.' my sister and i listened to the album when it dropped together, and when i said that, she told me: "i think clairo said that in an interview once, that she tries to say 'i love you' in her songs without explicitly saying it." i don't know if this is true or not, but she was successful with thank you. it also reminds me of my favorite characters of all time, so of course i love it. of course. - juna is such a lovely, fun song that i actually decided to try out the name juna for myself. if i'd contacted you after this album came out, no doubt my signoff would be just that: juna. this treasure of a song is, to me, like an ode to casual, lived-in intimacy...an ode to knowing someone so well that nothing about them is new, but loving them so much that every moment is as dizzying, light, and new as the first. there are twinkling sorts of sounds in this one, particularly one at the end that my sister told me felt like a coy wink from clairo herself. it's a playful end to the song, and i think it fits perfectly. the instrumental in this one is so yummy, especially the breakdown. a gem, truly !
I THINK THAT'LL BE IT FOR SONG GUSHING LOL I GOT CARRIED AWAY. but there are lots of treats in this album beyond the ones i talked about. my apologies for talking so much all the time LOL. thank you thank you thank you for listening ! i hope life is wonderful and kind to you! ʚ(´꒳`)ɞ .。✧・゚:* ~♡
♡, sylvie
hihi sylvie!!! despite your name, i kinda get leafeon vibes from u :o
honestly, i have no clue who you are '':D i thought maybe you were one of two blogs but i've since crossed both off the list and am now without any leads again @w@ i didn't think about the extra addition to the message tho!! specifically i was worried that just like. hi with an emoji would scare people. but adding a simple message like the one you suggested would be alright!! maybe i could send something like "hiii, i hope your day is going well!! 💛" if that works? i like the yellow heart emoji bc that's what i use with my friends in discord dms when i don't have any of the normal fancy emojis that we have in servers lol
not knowing what i listen to is actually a clue for me >:3 because i really only have mutuals in two fandoms, those fandoms being project sekai and in stars and time. project sekai is a rhythm game with vocaloid songs in it! so i can pretty safely rule out most of my "exclusively prsk" mutuals' mutuals, since a lot of that pool is within the fandom. (admittedly that doesn't narrow it down much since i don't interact very much with most of my prsk only mutuals,,,, shhh let me have this)
my url is actually a vocaloid song :D the jubyphonic cover of drop pop candy is actually one of the very first songs i ever listened to that wasn't just generic stuff that played on the radio. it was my first vocaloid song and it's sort of a symbol of me finding my own style so it's very special to me :3 "vocaloid" isn't exactly a genre tho, more of a medium,,, so it's hard to put an exact pinpoint on it ^-^;; i kind of have a wide range of styles i like?? it just kind of comes down to how much the artist commits to it. like i love songs with lots of real instruments but i also love songs that really go for a technical kind of feel yk? just kinda depends on how i'm feeling! i'd say in general i tend to like upbeat and energetic songs the most tho :3
i've never heard of clairo! i might go check that album out tomorrow once i can get back into my apple music account (only my dad has the password and. im supposed to be asleep rn. so im stuck with the song i was looping atm LMAOAOAO)
as for the "listening to music with synthesasia" thing, if you actually want to know you might be better off talking to someone who has like. more of it???? my synthesasia is super mild so mostly it's just the same as any average person lol. i just kind of get like Vibes from songs and it's pretty random what vibes and which song?? like the reason i found out i had synthesasia in the first place was because i listened to a song for the very first time and it smelled like. chicken tenders but like from far away and with sugar kind of mixed in, like when you're at a food fair. and that was so specific it shocked me out of denial HSGSHDGHDHD so basically for me it's like. most of the time it's normal but sometimes i'll listen to a song (and it can be ANY song, a song i like or a song i hate, a new song or one i've listened to a million times) and it'll just,,, smell like something. or taste like something. if i close my eyes sometimes i can see like squiggles and shapes n stuff that are like the song to me too but i don't tend to close my eyes when im listening to music because usually i listen while writing or doing some other task that requires my eyes to be open lmao
nws abt the song gushing!! it was lots of fun to read your thoughts on them :D thank u for sending me another ask and listening to me ramble!! remember to drink water and have a nice day (⁠づ⁠。⁠◕⁠‿⁠‿⁠◕⁠。⁠)⁠づ

Thinking abt my version of endermen again so lemme just ramble a bit.
- Theyre made of end magic thats pulled together from the air by their Ender Pearl (so kinda like a Magic black hole per say?)
- No bones, no organs, their insides are just flowing end magic - when injured it's like they have glittery blood that evaporated in the air after a few seconds. Their outside is magic too but more "solid"
- Liquid Water destabilizes the "solid" magic from their "skin" (and "fur". They're slightly fuzzy. Because having fur means they have a bigger surface area which makes it harder for the water to pass onto their more fragile insides) which is why it hurts them.
- They can stay alive as long as they have enough magic on their bodies and can regenerate any limbs. But if they lose magic past to a treshold they just destabilize and evaporate.
- Ender Pearls lose pull effectivity over time (a very long time) and sometimes they "create" more inside their "cores" (located in the chest) to have enough magic pull but over time it becomes harder to keep it together and they slowly disintegrate (this is a natural death) the extra pearls can also be used to create new endermen (they puke it like a cat would puke a hairball /hj)
- The enderpearl is basically the enderman too btw. Think of it like gems from SU.
- They can teleport bc the enderpearl basically creates a fuckign- wormhole to the place they desire to go to.
- Ender pearls are fragile and unstable outside the body of an enderman which is why sometimes they break upon the enderman's death and also hurt the player when used.
- They got some slight shapeshifting capabilities - which is why some can have longer hair (most normal endermen are just fuzzy tall creatures), change voice intonation, and body shape somewhat. There's some limitations that depend on the enderman.
- I don't know how hybridation works cRanboo is just a Freak.

Chapter Eleven
Samantha's last night in town is spent hanging out together and having a conversation.
Wednesday evening 
“Hey,” Samantha said, stepping out onto the balcony. Fox turned his head to look at her and she smiled at him as she wrapped her long gray cable knit cardigan around herself, nearly covering her fleece pajama set. “You’ve been out here for a while. Aren’t you cold?” 
“A bit, I suppose,” he answered, smiling as he started to move over and make space for her on the couch. 
“Oh no, you don’t need to get up. I’ll sit here,” she said, sitting in the armchair and putting her stockinged feet up on the coffee table. She smiled again and raised her eyebrows at him. “You okay?” 
“Yeah, I’m okay,” he said, placing a pillow in his lap and picking at a stray thread. 
“You’ve been quiet tonight. The dinner was okay?” 
“Oh yeah. More than okay,” he said, smiling at her. “It was great. Thanks, Sam.” 
“Of course.” She looked to her left and sighed. “It’s nice out here, hearing the city around you.” She scooted down in the chair a little and smiled. “Of course, I prefer the quiet of the suburbs, but this is nice for a few days.” 
He smiled at her and sighed with a nod, the thread longer now and wrapped around his finger. 
“Talk to me, Fox. What’s going on in that head of yours?” 
He tugged hard and the thread came off the pillow. Unwrapping it from his finger, he pulled it through his fingers repeatedly, sighing deeply and shaking his head. 
“Is it Dana? Did something happen?” 
“No. Nothing happened. She’s great.” 
“And she loves your books,” she said, smiling at him. He nodded and looked down at the thread in his hands. “Fox…” 
“I really like her, Sam,” he said quietly, looking over at her. “A lot.” 
“Yeah, I know,” she said, grinning at him. He chuckled softly and dropped his head back onto the couch. “That’s not a problem is it?” 
“Not a problem. But does it seem too fast?” he asked, turning his head toward her, asking the question that had been plaguing him. 
“Fast? No.” She smiled again and tapped his knee gently with her foot. “You’re not a fast person, Fox. Never have been. You think and think some more. You watch and observe before jumping into everything. You’ve only had one serious relationship and that was years ago.” 
“And you never liked her,” he said with a smile and she scoffed. 
“Because she was awful,” she said, rolling her eyes. “Took advantage of your sweet and kind nature and your willingness to help others. No, I did not like her.” 
“I know.” 
“And?” 
He looked at her and she smiled, her eyebrows raised again. She blinked and made a keep going motion with her hand. He laughed and nodded, looking up at the ceiling. 
“And you were right. She was awful.” 
“But you wanted to see the good in her because that’s who you are,” she said softly and he sighed with a nod. She tapped his knee again and he raised his head. “I get a good vibe from Dana. She’s good people.” 
“She is,” he said with a grin. “And Ivy…” He shook his head and laughed quietly as he thought of her excited smile when Dana had brought her to the diner on Monday after school. 
She had run in wearing a pink, sparkly cat ear headband, a silver heart necklace with little colorful gems around the edges, black socks with neon butterflies under a pink long sleeved dress, black fuzzy gloves, and her teal puffy coat. 
Everything, aside from the coat and dress, had been a gift from her birthday advent calendar which Dana had told him she had given her when they had come home the night before. Days had been missed and so there was quite a stockpile for Ivy to open. 
Taking off her backpack and then her jacket, dropping them onto the floor, she had flung herself at him and given him a huge hug. He had been surprised, just as he had been the first time she did it, but he had hugged her back happily. 
“Fox,” she had said, pulling back and smiling. “I have so many pictures for you.” 
“Let’s see them,” he had said, grinning at Dana as she caught up to Ivy, smiling as she had picked up Ivy’s coat from the floor. 
Ivy had taken off her gloves and shoved them into a side pocket on her backpack before she had unzipped the main section and took out a purple folder with unicorns on it. 
“My cousin said I could have this folder so the drawings didn’t get wrinkled.” 
“That was nice of her,” he said as he had moved his things out of the way to give her space to open her folder. 
“Yeah, she’s nice,” she had said, opening the folder as she stood by the table and Dana sat down across from him. 
He had listened to the stories behind each drawing as Ivy laid them out and pointed to each one. Praising them all, he had asked questions, wanting to know more about the colors she had chosen and why. 
Ivy had giggled as she answered him, her blue eyes sparkling. He had smiled as he watched her, his eyes flicking to Dana every so often, watching her as she also watched Ivy. There was something different in her smile when she looked at Ivy and he found he wanted to draw it, capture the moment so she could then see it for herself. 
When he had left the diner Monday evening, he carried the folder in his bag, with the promise that he would return it the next day to Dana, as Ivy really liked the unicorns. 
Stopping at the stationery store, he had perused the magnet selection, deciding on a pack of rainbow colored happy faces. Taking the time to figure out the best placement of them, he had hung all of the pictures on the fridge, moving to the freezer door when he had run out of room.
When Samantha had seen them, she had given him a curious look, but had said nothing. After a simple dinner of pizza and beer, he had told her about Dana, everything about her pouring out, his tongue loosened with someone to talk to about his feelings. 
By the time he had finished, chuckling about Ivy and giving her a demonstration of the funny panda voice she used, Samantha had been grinning. Nodding at him, she had tipped her beer bottle against his and grinned again. 
“You got it bad, big brother,” she had said, taking a drink and he had sighed with a nod. 
Tuesday, Samantha had early meetings and had been gone by seven. They had met for dinner, Fox treating her to anything she wanted, which happened to be sushi. She had brought him more up to date about Greg and their seven-year-old twins, William and Adam. He had smiled at the stories she told, laughing when she imitated William’s angry face.
A later meeting the next morning had allowed her to accompany him to the diner. She gave nothing away to Dana about how he felt, but kept giving him knowing glances and smiles. 
When he had left the diner at five, he had arrived home to the delicious smell of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans. His stomach had growled as he set his things down and washed his hands, asking Samantha how he could help. 
After they had eaten and cleaned up, the leftovers stacked in containers in the refrigerator, Samantha had gone to take a shower and he had come onto the balcony, needing a moment to himself.  
“Ivy,” he said again, thinking of the newest picture Dana had given him that day. “She’s the sweetest little kid, aside from yours of course.” He smiled at Samantha and she hummed out a huff. 
“I was gonna say,” she teased and they both laughed. She stared at him and sighed, searching his eyes. “Have you told her about mom and dad?” 
“No,” he whispered, shaking his head. 
“You should tell her. Considering what you’ve told me about her and her past, you should do the same. Tell her everything and put it all out there.” She smiled softly, her eyes sad. 
“Yeah. I… I just don’t want her to hear it and think that I’m looking for sympathy or to-”
“No, Fox. She wouldn’t think that way. Not at this point into your relationship… friendship,” she said, putting up a hand when he opened his mouth to correct her. “You’re friends and friends deserve the truth, especially when you’re feeling the way you do about her.” 
“Yeah,” he said with another nod. “I was actually thinking about telling her the other day, but our conversation led to her learning about my books.” 
“No, it’s not a casual… diner type story,” Samantha said, shaking her head. “Invite her over. Both of them. Have dinner and then once Ivy is preoccupied or asleep, tell her.” 
“Yeah,” he said again, swallowing his suddenly dry mouth. 
“Hey.” 
He looked at her and she smiled as she took her feet off the coffee table and stood up. 
“Come inside. It’s cold. Let’s watch a movie. Something we used to watch as kids. But this time with a glass of wine. Or glasses.” 
“Okay,” he agreed with a chuckle. Setting the pillow onto the couch, he stood up and stretched with a shiver. “You can pick, I’ll open a bottle of wine.” 
“Perfect,” she said as she danced a happy dance. Turning around, she looked at him with a smile when she reached the door. “I love you, Fox. Very much.” 
“I love you too, Sam,” he said, pulling her to him and hugging her close. “I’m glad you had this chance to visit.” 
“Me too,” she whispered, squeezing him tightly and then letting go. “Okay! Let’s see what movies are streaming!” 
He laughed as they walked inside and he shut the door. The apartment was warm and as it stung his nose and cheeks, he realized he must have been outside longer than he had thought. 
Telling her he was going to change into his pajamas first, he left her happily scrolling through different streaming devices, calling out movie title suggestions to him, not caring if he answered or not. 
A bowl of popcorn was set between them on the couch, and they each had a large glass of wine, when the chosen movie began to play. He looked at her and gave a fake groan when he saw the title. 
She grinned as she popped a piece of popcorn into her mouth and hummed along to the song that was playing over the opening credits. Taking a handful of popcorn, he smiled and settled back to enjoy a bit of nostalgia, mock groaning once again when Samantha stopped humming and began to sing loudly.

Thinking about how kaeya probably used to have fun birthday parties as a kid…
He had a small handful of friends from school. He wasn’t very outgoing when he was younger so he had three or four friends but that’s about it. Diluc had a bunch of friends! Diluc loved his brother and would encourage him to play with them even though they were older than him. Kaeyas birthday parties always included his own and Diluc’s friends. There would be treasure hunts, crystal fly catching, all the sweet treats a kiddo could dream of!! Kaeya would get toys, wooden swords and pirate hats to wear! And he’d jump for joy when he found the ‘treasure’ hidden by pirates (Crepus) beneath the winding grape vines. The treasure hunt became a tradition, every year the chest would be harder to find. Even the older kids had a hard time! But Kaeya would always find it! He had a way of sniffing it out! Of course, inside would be toys, mora or candy, not real gems or anything like that.
As he got older, less friends came to his parties. Diluc got busier with knight duty so his old friends from school drifted away. That’s natural! Everyone has their own career path. But kaeya couldn’t help but feel a bit sad when only 6 people came to his 13th birthday party. That’s okay though! He still had Diluc there! And Crepus too! He’d just gotten back from Liyue and brought all sorts of gifts for both of the boys! In Crepus’ absence, Diluc hid the beat up treasure chest himself, not wanting his brother to miss out on something he always looked forward to
For his 15th birthday, Kaeya only had Crepus by his side. Diluc had gone out for cavalry training. Something about the horses getting used to the mud and snow…Whatever. Kaeya was a little peeved, he always looked forward to his birthday. It was a day where he had attention but not in a suffocating way, it was nice. It was nice to have everyone wish him happy birthday, sing to him and be around him on his day. Then the day after, everything would go back to normal and he’d go back to being shy and quiet again. But instead of having a party, he was stuck having dinner with his dad. Crepus obviously felt bad for him, he had the staff go all out with this birthday dinner but Kaeya was feeling grumpy. He still didn’t have any friends…He was looking forward to having time with his brother. They both train with the knights but Diluc trains much more than Kaeya does. He’s out all night and he’s up first thing in the morning, running, lifting, swinging swords. He’s never around anymore…Kaeya misses him. He felt left out. And the cherry on top was his dear brother missing his birthday. He felt a bit silly for being upset…And he felt even worse as he watched his own tears hit the edge of his plate. Crepus was up in an instant, coming to his son’s side to comfort him but…ugh…feelings are hard “I’m fine, I’m fine- just- really, let go” though he didn’t fight off his fathers embrace, he cried into his shoulder as the sun set. There was no treasure chest that year.
No treasure chest the year after either. Or the year after. Kaeya spent his 18th birthday utterly alone. He’s been alone for 7 months now. After Crepus’ passing, Kaeya has been banished from the winery. So instead of that warm, fuzzy feeling he always got on his birthday, the excited buzzing in his veins when he thought about having people over just for his special day…He doesn’t have that now. Turning 18 in Mond is a big deal, usually there’s a big party with wine, cake, songs and story telling. The whole family is supposed to gather round and watch the birthday boy/girl drink their first legal glass of wine! (As if they haven’t drank any before. It’s all for show of course) Not today though. Instead, Kaeya holes himself up in his dinky dorm in the Knights of Favonious building. He can’t bring himself to get out of bed, his limbs feel heavy and his insides feel like cold spaghetti. He’s so alone… His outgoing facade is tiring, he doesn’t want to see anyone today. So he curls in on himself, humming the most pitiful birthday tune to himself as he tries to sleep through the day
Years have passed and traditions have changed. Kaeya has opted to forget about his birthday every year after his 18th. Once November rolls around he just stops looking at the calendar, deciding to actually work instead of procrastinating. He files his papers on time, clears out treasure hoarder camps in record time, even cleans his office when he has nothing to do. Every other night, he stops by the tavern to get a drink, secretly hoping to see his brother. No, he doesn’t drink just to see Diluc but it’s an added bonus. It’s the only time the two of them converse, sometimes…it’s almost like they’ve never fought. They’ll talk for an hour or so but inevitably, something will remind them that they’re still not on good terms. Then the conversation dwindles and Kaeya decides to head home for the night.
Tonight isn’t that night. It’s his birthday yet again, he only knows because Jean wished him a happy birthday and let him have the day off…otherwise he would have ignored it. He had no plans for his big day. He wasn’t tired so there was no need for a nap…He wasn’t hungry so it wasn’t time for lunch just yet… He spent nearly all of his mora on a new sword so he can’t go shopping. So he settles on a walk. Kaeya has memories associated with almost every crevice of Mond, he’s played in all of the woods, fought slimes by lakes and ran from hogs by the cliffs. He remembers it all as his legs just carry him wherever they want to go. Little did he know, they wanted to go home. Along with the rest of him.
He stopped at the winery, mouth open in shock as he found himself there. It wasn’t even that he planned to walk this way it just…happened. He hates that he feels awkward at his old home so he pushes on. Kaeya walks up the front path, looking around at the vines and the crystal flies he loves so much. With a sad sigh, he goes to lay in the grass between rows of vines. Some crystal flies investigate him, landing on his hands when he reaches up or on his knee which is propped up. If he thinks really hard…maybe he can turn into a kid again. Maybe he can turn back time to when he had a warm house full of family and friends. Maybe he could have appreciated his childhood more if he knew what his adulthood looked like . Maybe he would have convinced Diluc to hang back with him or hell! Maybe he would have left his comfort zone more in order to hang around him. Tears slowly trickled down his cheek and wet his eyepatch. It seemed that his birthdays nowadays always required tears. Perhaps allowing himself to be here wasn’t the best choice. With a groan and some cracks from his stiff joints, Kaeya hauls himself up. It’s time to go, he’s been here too long.
He makes his way back to the main path when a crystal fly catches his eye. It looks smaller, it’s light is weaker and it ducks under a vine. Kaeya doesn’t know why he feels drawn to it…but he does. He kneels down, nudging the vines out of the way to see where the little guy went- Kae freezes as his eye lands on a treasure chest. It isn’t the same one from when he was a kid. This one looks worn but still newer. It isn’t rusted and beaten up like the old one was. He almost doesn’t want to open it but his curiosity gets the better of him. He shifts his weight, reaching through the vines to open the chest. A bottle of wine, two glasses…and a letter
“Kaeya,
Happy birthday. If you would like to, please come in and have a drink with me. We should catch up.
Your brother, Diluc”

In a lot of cases, primal eyes are seen as a rare blessing, but I imagine it would be a curse in a lot of ways, too.
Say you’re a shadow primal.  Your eyes never stop dripping; the ichor gets everywhere, staining your clothes and making your floors slick.  You spend all day cleaning, and it still isn’t enough.  You wake up in a puddle of purple sludge every morning--that is, if you ever sleep.  Sometimes, the magic makes it hard for you to even shut your eyes.
Say you’re a fire primal.  Your eyes burn anything--and anyone--that gets too close to you.  You live in a house of the strongest stone, because every piece of wood or paper or cloth you’ve ever tried to own has burnt at some point or another.  Char marks trail across the ceiling; the air smells like smoke.  Your tears are almost hotter than lava, and they can burn holes in anything--even stone, as you know too well.  The floor is littered in pockmarks.  You have no comfort.
Say you’re a light primal.  You cannot see; how can the sunlight possibly enter your eyes?  You cannot enjoy the radiant beauty of your goddess; the only thing you can see are shadows.  And how quickly do they disappear when you approach?  You hold everything at a distance.
Say you’re a water primal.  It didn’t seem so bad at first; it’s only water, after all!  But water flows even faster than a shadow primal’s sludge, and can fill a space quite assuredly.  You sleep in lakes to avoid flooding your den; you read from stone tablets because any book or scroll you grab is soaked the moment you touch it, the ink bleeding freely.  You scream half-seen bits of prophecies whenever you dream, even now.  The Tidelord has forgotten everyone, it seems, but somehow, he hasn’t forgotten you.  It was his blessing, after all.
Say you’re an arcane primal.  The runes on your face were never natural; no part of you really is.  They burned themselves into your scales, a unique pattern of pain that never really stops--because you’re exuding magic every moment.  All around you, strange things happen.  Nonsensical runes line the walls of your cave, glowing ethereally and taunting you with their vagueness.  Crystals form where you least expect them; any time you turn around, you can be certain to find a fuzzy swath of them.  Items float when you look at them, sometimes.  You’ve broken more glassware than you could ever dream of counting.
Say you’re a lightning primal.  Your eyes snap and spark, lashing out at the world.  Your clan knows well to keep you away from the circuitry; one wrong look could fry a whole grid of lights.  You have no control over the bolts that dance around your eyes, and they strike on their own pleasure.  And they hurt--not you, but others.  It takes a sturdy dragon to keep your company, or a suit of rubber.  And you know well just how difficult electrical fires are to quench.
Say you’re a nature primal.  Of the batch, you seem quite tame, but to have a living thing embedded in your face is no easy task.  It needs water and sun and careful tending; it drinks your blood and tears, and you can feel when it’s failing to thrive.  Every fallen petal hurts like a blow to the gut, a little more of your power drifting away out of exhausted negligence.  Gladekeeper forbid if you were to ever let it wilt.  Roots drift in your veins, and flowers bloom at your every step--sometimes tethering you in place.
Say you’re an earth primal.  Your danger doesn’t come from within; rather, from without.  Precious gems encircle your eyes; your tears are diamonds and sapphires and other precious stones.  You’ve been hurt so many times for nothing but profit; so many friends have ulterior motives.  All the Earthshaker ever wanted was to bring his children together, but this was not the way to do it.  You have a hard heart and a skeptical eye, now; you cannot trust.
Say you’re an ice primal.  The snowflakes around your eyes never really melt; they flutter and fall and freeze holes wherever they like.  It takes strong concentration to keep them in place, to keep them from doing harm--either to the world you inhabit or the creatures around you.  Often, they dance around your eyes and obscure your vision.  Your touch leaves frost, even in the heart of the Ashfall Waste.  You are paranoid.
Say you’re a wind primal.  The breeze follows you wherever you go; its gusty presence is felt whenever you enter the room.  One wrong thought could send a dragon sprawling; a fit of anger could fell a forest.  You can feel yourself becoming deaf, the wind’s constant howls wearing slowly at your ears.
Say you’re a plague primal.  You cannot blink; your dozen eyes are ever open, the blobby scar tissue on your face refusing to shut over them.  Outside the humidity of the Wasteland, they become terribly dry; it hurts to be out in the sun.  Disease follows you, striking when you least expect it.  You are immune, but your companions are not.  Too often, you can do nothing to help.
-
Just an idea I had.  I imagine that magic helps in many cases, but some of these things are quite impractical, no?  Feel free to use these as lore prompts if you’d like, or add on to them with your own thoughts.  I’d love to see!

Volga headcanons/info (subject to change)
Volga actually wouldn't be in the war at all if it wasn't for Cia's magical influence.
He's alive post-game. Flies away honorably after he's beaten.
He's very honorable and doesn't look kindly upon those like Wizzro
Volga is actually good with kids as he has the more protective instincts that a dragon would have
Asexual Demiromantic King
Has more patience than people would think and less of a temper than they would think, though his temper is still pretty bad at times. It is amplified by Cia's magic.
Has infinite patience for children though and would eat anyone who threatens them.
Is very protective of his clans/people. Lizalfos, dinolfos, aeralfos, even gorons- Those in Eldin Caves are under his jurisdiction and he will fight for them.
His draconic form is actually his most comfortable form, he just has to remain in his humanoid form more often while with Cia and Ganon.
He is a walking furnace
The gem on his chest, if shattered, would cause intense pain and would likely disrupt his transformations or leave him too disoriented to transform.
His social awareness is nonexistent. That or he just doesn't care enough. Either way he can be blunt at times
Dragons can purr because I say they can
During the events of Hyrule Warriors Cia's magic makes it hard for Volga to think of his home. His memories get a bit fuzzy and his head starts to hurt if he even considers leaving.
Post-Hyrule Warriors he returns to Eldin Caves, though if approached by the Hylians is amenable and calls for a truce. His people are relieved that Cia's control his gone and are a bit more willing to help the Hylians rebuild.
Poor dragon is very homesick during the events of the war though he can never pin the feeling down.
Is left with some psychological trauma post game because of Cia. Having your mind bent to someone else's selfish ambitions and being forced to fight in a war and sacrifice your people for them sounds pretty traumatizing.
That and he was essentially hurt in some way every time he tried to think for himself or break away (usually in the form of severe headaches, borderline migraines if he fought back harder)
If given the option to find Cia post-game and attack her he'd probably consider it but ultimately would stay away. He fears being influenced again.
When sick, he tends to prefer to stay in his draconic form because it feels most natural. He'll try to sleep the sickness off and stay in the sun to warm up. The heat and red usually beneath his scales will dim almost to a black and the fire on his back will go out entirely.

MOVIE DATES WITH STRAY KIDS
Tumblr media
stray kids x reader
genre: fluff
word count: 1.8k
warnings: intended for male reader, but can be read as gender neutral; my first fic 👉👈 im nervous; lowercase aesthetic; does “bastard” count as a swear word..?
i hope you enjoy this little gift :)
bang chan
Tumblr media
he likes romantic comedies
tbh being chan’s s/o would feel like a romcom of its own
since he doesn’t like crowds, your movie dates together usually wouldn’t involve actually going to the movies
instead you’d probably both opt to stay in for the night and watch a movie on the couch
under multiple blankets
in each other’s arms
hugs and cuddles
with the occasional kiss on the top of your head
it’s so soft
it’s chan :)))
he does the little claps at the end of the movie
because happy endings ^–^
y’know those awkward scenes where the main couple meets for the first time?
he likes to point out which character you were most similar to when the two of you first met
“i didn’t know you were in this movie!”
“you look so different! i could hardly recognize you!”
he’s such a dork
all your movie nights would end in one of three ways:
1.) you falling asleep in his arms
2.) him falling asleep holding you close (yeah not really, this man doesn’t sleep that much T_T)
or 3.) you both make it through the movie, and one of you says something like
“this is nice...i wish we could just stay like this”
and so you both (in theory) fall asleep right where you are
either way, chan is the best boyfriend and neither of you know what you did to deserve each other
lee know
Tumblr media
he’d get you to go see a horror movie
even if you protest, he’d manage to convince you somehow
pokes fun at you every time you get scared
during a suspenseful part in the movie, he’d suddenly put his hands on your shoulders and shake you (lightly) out of nowhere, just to startle you
and he’d have to stifle his giggles because your reaction is just too priceless
absolutely relishes in how you never let go of his arm
like ever
seriously, his arm might as well be an extension of your body at this point
he may act like he’s annoyed
but he loves it
cuz he knows it’s because you feel safe with him
and if you hide your face in the crook of his neck
he’d get this look on his face...
something between an evil smirk and an amused grin
why? because his plan is working
plot twist: the whole reason he chose to see a horror movie with you was so that you would cling to him
surprise!! >:]
but even if you catch on, he’ll never admit it
tsundere
“did you even see any of the movie?”
you just kinda grumble in response, still latched onto his arm
“i can’t believe it... i so generously paid for your ticket, only for you to hide your face the whole ti- OW!”
you jab him in the side with your elbow give him a “love tap” :)
but it’ll take more than that to get him to stop teasing you about it
he’s a cocky bastard but you love him to death for it
seo changbin
Tumblr media
superhero movie!!!
like something from the mcu
seeing him get so excited/invested in the movie??
wholesome
but he might get a little too excited
in other words, going to the movies with changbin is an...interactive experience
meaning that he talks at the movie
not to the movie, but at the movie
like...he talks at the characters on screen
as if they can hear him
honestly it’s kinda cute
but occasionally you have to remind him to keep his voice down
“HE TRIED TO TELL YOU NOT TO TOUCH THE STONE”
“shhhh alright calm down a bit-”
“...AND NOW YOU DEAD”
“changbin i love you but please don’t get us kicked out of the theater”
10/10 would have his arm around you throughout the movie
even if his arm goes numb, he’d refuse to let anything stop him
“changbin, you don’t have t-”
“CUDDLES.”
lowkey feels like a pillow
bc he beefy
on very rare occasions he might fall asleep during the movie
if he does end up dozing off and you catch him in the act, he’d deny it profusely
he likes to spontaneously slip his hand into yours :)
and lace your fingers together :))
you’re holding hands now :)))
his presence is just so warm and fuzzy and you make each other so happy
hwang hyunjin
Tumblr media
THIS MAN
the funnest(?) most fun bf in existence
he’s definitely the type to try and smuggle outside food into the theater
he insists that he’s inconspicuous about it
and he tries to be
but he’s not :)
“uh... hyunjin, why are you wearing two hoodies?”
“i uh... i’m... cold?”
“so you’re sticking bags of microwaveable popcorn in between your sweatshirts...to keep warm?”
*visibly sweating* “i can explain...”
ok ok
so y’all seeing a comedy
why?
because HIS LAUGH OMG
it’s so bubbly and contagious
so naturally, you’d both be laughing up a storm at the back of the theater
and sometimes it’s because of the movie
but most of the time it’s because of the side comments the two of you keep making to each other
and it doesn’t help that he keeps making these ridiculous observations about the characters in the movie
“what’s up with that guy?”
“what about him?”
“why is he built like a refrigerator?”
about halfway through the movie, you both reach that delirious state where literally anything and everything becomes funny
even if it’s not supposed to be funny
...especially if it’s not supposed to be funny
the two of you? lowkey hyenas
long story short, you’re both asked to leave the theater not even two hours into the film :)
han jisung
Tumblr media
action!! movie!!
finishes the popcorn within the first ten minutes of the film
that is, if he doesn’t scarf it all down during the previews
he talks through the entIRE THING
he’s always got something to say
it’s like watching the director’s commentary version of a movie
but instead of the director talking about the film-making process
it’s jisung muttering nonsense in your ear
sometimes pertaining to the movie
and other times...
“hey did i ever tell you about the time i saw a seagull eating garbage?”
...yeah, other times it’s...not
either way, you don’t mind
because you aren’t really paying much attention to the movie anyways
you’re too busy admiring your boyfriend
how could you not?
the way he’s on the edge of his seat, giving the movie his full attention...
the light from the screen flickering dimly on his face, highlighting his gentle features...
you’re the luckiest person in the world, no doubt
his eyes light up whenever something particularly cool/badass happens in the movie
but he also gets startled by the explosions every now and then
when that happens, you just look at each other for a moment
and then burst into a fit of giggles
“stoooppp!! it was loud, ok??”
you just hum in response and rest your head on his shoulder
y’know that thing he does where like...
he’s giggling, but he has something he wants to say, so he keeps trying to talk?
but his words keep getting cut off by his own laughter?
yeah... that’s what he’s doing
he’s adorable
lee felix
Tumblr media
animated movie
a firm believer that you’re never too old to enjoy cartoons
he never lost that child-like energy/enthusiasm, which is part of what makes him such a gem
so of course, when the new disney movie came out, he knew he had to go see it with you
he would definitely load up on snacks from concessions
if you don’t stop him, he’s gonna be buying two giant things of popcorn and at least five different kinds of candy
and when he walks back to you after paying, he’d just smile brightly from behind the mountain of junk food in his hands like
“snacks :D!!!!!”
seriously though, try to keep track of how much popcorn he eats
bc he might overeat and get a stomachache :((
obviously he can take care of him self, cuz he’s an adult
but like
he loves when you look out for him
because he knows just how much you care about him
sunshine boy :((
y’all already know how much of a cuddle bug this man is
so of course that means lots of cute, affectionate gestures during the movie
skinship
holding hands
you resting your head on his shoulder
and him resting his head on top of your head
and most importantly SNUGGLES
snuggles are a must
for him, movie dates are just an excuse to be extra touchy with you
even though he never needs an excuse to get cuddles whenever he wants
because c’mon
it’s felix
what are you gonna do, say no?
kim seungmin
Tumblr media
murder mystery film
tends not to talk all that much during movies
he’d just be so completely engrossed in the movie that he’d forget about his surroundings
but that’s not to say he won’t hold your hand or drape his arm over your shoulders
every now and then you can catch him leaning forward in his seat
with his mouth slightly ajar
it’s so endearing
but if for whatever reason you want to get his attention...
heh...
yeah, good luck with that
you’d have to maybe give his hand a lil squeeze to get his attention
and at first he’d just turn his head in your direction, keeping his eyes glued to the movie
but if you gave his hand another squeeze, he’d snap out of it
“psst...seungmin”
“mm.”
“hey, seungmin?”
“huh? yeah?”
“i love you”
if that doesn’t make his heart SWELL—
his dazed expression would quickly shift into one of pure elation and fondness
he might not respond verbally
but he’d gently bring your hand up to his lips
press a soft kiss atop your knuckles
and then lower your hand again without letting go, turning his attention back to the movie
but that bright smile of his would never falter for even a moment
he loves you too
so so much :)
yang jeongin
Tumblr media
another one for romantic comedies
he likes it when there’s a little less “rom” and slightly more “com”
and so do you
because it means you get to hear his laugh more
oh god...
his laugh
the little giggles in between the short gasps for air...
so cute
“no. i’m not cute.”
he is very cute
probably won’t initiate any skinship
but if you do, he will absolutely go along with it
sometimes he’ll nod off in the middle of a movie
and then wake up during the credits, completely disoriented
“where am i”
“you fell asleep”
“huh??”
“you drooled a little on my shoulder, you goof”
unlike hyunjin, he’s really good at sneaking food into the theaters
like really really good
almost to the point that it’s scary
usually people try to sneak in popcorn or candy or maybe soda
well not jeongin
“hey, you want some?”
“what the- HOW DID YOU GET A BUCKET OF FRIED CHICKEN IN HERE”
“:]”
he’s not telling
like or reblog if you enjoyed ^^ feedback is always welcome and very much appreciated!
