#nice to know how much all my love and care and loyalty is worth

[hussyknee]

Your "non-confrontational" choices not to communicate hurt the people you don't confront btw. You're not a martyr for keeping everything inside and then running away when other people don't know what's going on with you. You just decided avoiding rejection and sparing your own feelings was easier than being honest and giving them the agency to respond and make their own decisions. You chose to hurt them so they didn't hurt you. You think your feelings are realer and more important than their own care and love for you. You were always just waiting for a sign to run.

"If they cared about me they would have–" did you tell them that? Did you let them know how you feel? How much importance you place on those requirements they don't know they have to meet? This secret criteria and secret signs for your secret feelings? Or are you making them play a game they don't know even exists?

Your choice not to communicate isn't cute. You didn't run because they didn't feel the same for you. You ran so you wouldn't have to risk rejection. You chose to prioritise your own self-protection over their trust in and love for you. At least own that.

Dunno bout y'all but shang tsung would be soft for his s/o

Sorry not sorry but shang tsung to me IS somft for his beloved.

Because your probably the only person he's been with for like how long,you put up with him,and honestly would he find anyone like you ever again? Probably not.

So no. His s/o don't NEED to be like him to be with him. They just need to accept him and he's gonna be well....a dark sorcerer. Plain n simple.

Sure it would be nice to find like minds. But i dunno shang doesn't strike me personally to go after someone that is an exact copy of him or tries to be like him. He like genuineness above all else. Ironically.

If you can be yourself. And who you are honestly. And are absolutely undyingly loyal to him.

It doesn't matter how cunning or "intellectual" you are. It doesn't matter what your personality is.

He values loyalty,honesty,and genuine people. Because those people he can actually fucking keep around and not stab him in the back when plans go off the rails.

Which unfortunately he tends to hire or associate with.

So to have you,who is loyal,trusting,and bound to him. Soul or not.

Is a fucking treasure.

Look man i get it. You wanna be like shang. He one cool dude. I feel you. But there is only one room for a cunning binch. And thats him.

So if you're trying to match him,good luck. Because he'll see right through that and walk away.

But if its genuine. He'll stay. But dont be fake.

There is a difference between him with business partners or friends/allies and romantic partners or even a spouce.

Like for anything closer it needs to be something worth keeping yes. But again it doesn't NEED to be like him to catch his eye.

In all honesty.

Someone who he can be genuinely domestic with and take off the evil sorcery mask around would be a breath of fresh air to him. He could let down his walls for fucking once.

He is happy to be around you. And only you.

Could he be clingy,sure. Possessive? Sure. But you are well taken care of. Nobody's gonna fuck with you on his watch.

Also if you cant fight,he'll teach you. You wanna learn magic. Become the sorcerer's apprentice. No. Not the movie.

Just also make sure its not soul magic or anything heavier. Because he's very particular about that. But thats out of protection for himself AND you.

But any of invocations of magic is perfectly acceptable. Elemental is the easiest and most likely.

But yeah,he'd happy to teach you anything he knows. Tbh shang tsung would totally take in an apprentice he can mold to his desires. Especially to take down a certain thunder god. Hee hee.

Some of y'all have a decent idea on him. But miss the point he doesn't need someone to be like him.

In fact.....thats boring.

He would want someone he can cherish. I wouldn't put it past him to slowly unbeknown to you. To slowly increase your lifespan or slow your aging with magic. Sure you may not know it at first. But after maybe a decade or so....you question some shit and go "hey wait a minute"

I dunno man.

Shang i honestly don't think gives a fuck about superficial crap much. He acts like it. But thats not what keeps him.

He's over 500yrs old. Do you honestly believe anyone that long lives gives a fuck about superficial crap?

No. Not even the vainest mofo would give a damn after a while. It would get boring.

I know my villains honey. And i know these archtypes.

But all in all.....at the end of the day.....does it matter?

No. Because you,reader,you are the special exception.

Shang would totally love you no matter what the hell your personality is like. As long as your genuine about it.

Thats all he'd care about.

So dont listen to these x readers that have "oh he wouldn't like so n so" or "he wouldn't like x this type person" like hell. He would totally love you. Im sorry but i hate people who say in x reader type posts to say. They wouldn't like this type of person. No. Thats wrong. And bad x reader writing.

Like at the end of the day,its your writing. Write however you want. Its your city. But for me. Shang tsung don't give a single rats ass what you look like,what your personality is,if your soft n sweet or cunning like him. (Bonus if you both) but at the end of the day he's just happy that he's finally found someone to share life with. However brief if may or may not be. Fr.

You need to be open minded about this type of writing. Dont alienate reader like that.

I have learned its best to write less about what reader is or is like. And more about character in question. And less about "types" and more about what keeps them. And most of them. I hate to break it to you. Especially villains.

Wants some damn loyalty and peace n quiet. Do you how stressful it is to be evil bad guy all the time? Dont you think they deserve a damn break once n a while. Like come home from a long day of scheming "honey im home,i love you. Lets take a bath together" type shit.

Like bruh come on

Like shang tsung just wants to chill and be on his island n have souls to "drink" is that hard to ask for?

And he would absolutely cherish you. Like a dragon coiled around his treasure.

You are precious to him. And if he could,he'd clutch you tighter,hide you in his pocket from the cold dangerous world of kombat.

But alas. He cant.

Because thats not how it works. Even if the odds are in his favor.

A mastermind like him would also needs to be gentle with his beloved,to keep them in his favor or keep them beholden to him anyways. I feel it would be genuine,but also shang tsung is gonna well....shang tsung.

But even when he's being a bastard,he isn't gonna shy away from making sure you're absolutely comfortable and well loved.

You don't need to be just like him to be loved by him. You just need to be genuine.

Anyways. Shang tsung loves you. Ok? Dont you worry your precious heads my fellow shang tsimps,self shippers,and fic writing community.

Arcana Characters as Lord of the Rings

Y'all wouldn't believe how long it took me to come to this conclusion, I might be having a bit of a writer's block moment today

Julian - Pipin Took

Is Julian entirely too tall to be a hobbit? Yes

Does Julian have the same pension for dumbassery as Pipin? Also yes

Very big "no thoughts head empty" energy with these two

Plus Julian could definitely challenge the drinking tolerance of a hobbit fight me

Despite their bawdy & lighthearted personalities, both also have the capability of a rather poetic sorrow, and incredibly honorable loyalty and bravery as well

Asra - Gandalf

Mysterious™ with an unmatched wanderlust? Check

A vast pool of magical wisdom and always down to get high as balls? Check

Expert at disappearing when the plot needs them most? Check

This also makes a great double dynamic when you pair them with the Julian/Pipin combo, as both Gandalf & Asra spend most of their time calling their charges out in their dumbassery

Nadia - Arwen

Classy, regal, beautiful women

Both also have a fair amount of independence and quiet strength that can sway armies

It's not shown in the movies but Arwen is actually a total badass when she wants to be; she actually helps fight in the battle for Helm's Deep; so now we have two bad ass women with prodigious sword skills

Both are very devoted and passionate lovers as well

Muriel - Beorn

Idk how many people know about/remember this character but he's in the Hobbit

Pretty much a big dude who can turn into a bear, & who's front yard is the home of a farm's worth of both wild & domestic animals

Dude doesn't like visitors (at least not ones that aren't animals), but if you manage to get on his good side he'll be fairly hospitable

If that doesn't scream Muriel idk what does

Portia - Eowyn

Yet another strong, independent woman

I feel like she and Portia share the same firey spirit that people tend to underestimate

Eowyn is kind, caring, friendly, and devoted to her people even if she's not allowed to show it, & I find that fits Portia quite well

Both also start out illiterate (to my knowledge)

Portia is also definitely the kind of person to pull the "I am no man" line

They may look nice but they can and will throw hands when they want to

Lucio - King Thranduil

If anyone could match Lucio's pension for parties it would be the king of the party elves

Sassy, moody, greedy, kind of a bitch, older than they look, blonde

Also Lord knows they are not at all good with children (Thranduil may love his son but he sure ain't a good father)

They hide their scars (at least Thranduil does in the movie; I don't think he has that burn scar in the books), Lucio with a big, gaudy prosthetic arm & Thranduil with glamour and elf magic

Can totally kick ass when they want to but usually don't bc ✨war trauma✨

[cactusringed]

i WILL sleep soon but im having too many thoughts

the fact that etho decided that he was just going to be Very Nice To Bdubs.

bdubs? he must have been euphoric. he was finally given a spot in ethos heart in the way etho always has one in his. this was some sign that said hey, i matter to him too!

which only made it worse for him when etho did things for grian and cleo he would never do for him.

bdubs wondering if it meant anything at all to etho, or if it was some big joke. if he and his stupid big heart was some joke to etho. if etho understood that all itd take to get bdubs on his side was the slightest attention that way, dropping the act once he was satisfied with bdubs devotion.

to bdubs, it sure would be looking like he didn't ever matter to etho, only what he could do to keep etho alive did. nothing about his wellbeing or even happiness mattered to etho

bdubs told him he would not kill him, no matter what. even when etho told him he wouldn't blame him if we did. and etho couldn't even bother lying about failing a task for bdubs' sake

its not even that bdubs would care if etho attacked him for a task. if there was anything he could do for etho he'd do it in a heart beat, including losing a few hearts. but the fact that etho didn't even care enough to go 'yeah sure id fail a task for you' after bdubs proclaimed his loyalty

then, seeing how etho treats grian and cleo...

anger

i need bdubs to be furious

i need him to be angry on his own behalf. to recognise his self worth and realise he deserves better.

he would give everything to etho. what more does etho want from him? what more could he give to make etho care about him? how DARE etho build him a place in his home, pull bdubs in close, only to treat him like shit?

i need bdubs to be furious

and im going to be completely honest, i need to see him snap and kill etho. hes a man being pushed to the brink, and etho needs to learn that bdubs isnt some sidekick thats going to follow him around. that bdubs would give him the world if etho had bothered to give him even a shred of loyalty and care. and that etho FUCKED IT UP

IM SORRY WHEN YOU GOT ME INTO ETHDUBS I DIDNT EXPECT SUCH AN ANGSTY FUCKING RELATIONSHIP I

AAAAAAA

ok im falling asleep while writing this if i got anything wrong thats why. bed time. nighnigh

Brother when I tell you that the be nice to bdubs day episode makes me sick after what etho did. Oh my god. Oh my god.

The thing is about etho is that, he doesn't lie to bdubs. I don't think he does, anyway. All that kindness he offered bdubs - well, it was obviously a bit to embarrass him, but it was also all true. He doesn't like to lie to bdubs. He's haunted by the time he promised something (a life) and didn't deliver, to the point where when he did it again (promised to help bdubs with anything he needed, then laughed at his face when bdubs sought out his help) he felt SICK

Etho doesn't like to make promises, because he hates not to deliver on them. Bdubs loves to make promises he wholeheartedly intends to deliver on, or that he hopes the receiving party will know he'll try his heart off to deliver on. Bdubs values, so much, the very act of trying, the intent behind it. Etho values results. It's a dissonance neither can really see. So it leads to miscommunication and misunderstandings

Bdubs has promised so much to etho, so many times - etho must believe the words empty, no matter how earnest bdubs is. Meanwhile, because Etho is so careful about managing expectations, he comes off as... Aloof. As not returning even half of bdubs' earnest feelings. It's such a difference in their expression of love.

Etho felt bad, and thus he pushed himself to express love in a way bdubs would understand - through words of adoration. But then he immediately returned to his old ways. Immediately withdrew, as if scared. Because he is scared. In truth, he's terrified of the feelings he holds for bdubs, and how much it can hurt the both of them. But instead of seeing that, Bdubs can only see it as Etho playing a sick game with him. Bdubs, so starved for Etho's attention and love and devotion.

I doubt he would've promised cleo or grian he would protect them against the boogeys. He's told cleo before, that he's not a protector. He doesn't want to give the impression he is because he hates the idea of betraying that impression. But in the moment, he did become a protector. But it's that seed of doubt that it plants that hurts so much.

Because now, Bdubs will always see etho and remember that he refused to vow his protection to bdubs, whilst turning around and protecting his allies. He'll always see etho and remember that heartbreak.

He feels like he's been throwing so, so much love to a complete brick wall. Somethings gotta snap.

I want bdubs to either kill etho or try to hurt him - to genuinely go after him. But also if he does - if either of them do - I'll have a category 10 ethubs meltdown I s2g

This can only end in tragedy I swear I swear I swear I feel so SICK it's late and my head hurts so this probably makes no sense but. My god

On Kouyou and Mori's relationship

@2offayyo-kzt THANK YOU FOR ASKING because you prompted me to talk about Kouyou and I love talking about Kouyou. Original post the reply is referring to.

Okay most of it comes from the Kouyou / Mori / Chuuya scene at the closing of the guild arc. First off: in chapter 37 we are made aware that Kouyou decided to stay at the agency of her own accord. Besides from the reasons she had to stay, it's just pretty cool how it's confirmed that Kouyou doesn't feel like having Mori's orders or will she has to answer to and just... Pretty much is free to do whatever she wants. She doesn't care about what Mori requires from her - Mori who most definitely would have wanted her back at the pm as soon as possible - and just acts of her own accord, which is something that even Chuuya doesn't do.

Following up, Kouyou and Mori also reflect over how she's perfectly capable of freely leave the pm, yet she chooses not to (btw her little smirk following Mori acknowledgement of her abilities is SO cute). Again, it goes to show how independent she is from Mori (pretty much putting her on his same level I guess?), being able to leave the pm facing no consequences or retaliation, and just in general how master of her fate she is. It's nice, it's RARE for a franchise where female characters are usually just thrown from one side to the other by external factors and rarely get to choose for themselves.

Then - and so far I strayed a bit from the initial matter, but this is most relevant to the point I was making in the original post - she says “Shut up. I'll sew your mouth shout.” There's A LOT in those lines because it plainly shows how she just... Doesn't fear Mori, doesn't fear calling him out on his creepy behavior, doesn't fear (playfully? ← arguable) menacing him. She's just so unbound and free and self-governed, and totally unbothered by Mori unlike any other character (except for, well, Elise, who's part of Mori herself). It's a joy to see.

Next, the volume 10 extra. The “that's why I told you”, “I'll punch you”, it all goes to reinforce the concept that Kouyou is perfectly unafraid of Mori and doesn't shy away from calling him out and scolding him even sternly. But it's especially interesting to compare her behavior with Chuuya's. Where Chuuya tries to find accomodations for Mori, Kouyou scolds him, and later even accuses Chuuya of being “spoiling him”; their approach is completely different, and as a consequence their relationships with Mori are diametrically opposite. Again, back to my initial point: even Chuuya, who is one of the most self-reliant characters of them all, knows he has to answer to Mori, and accordingly treats him with respect; Kouyou is perfectly unbothered and unafraid.

And even more examples: chapter 42, Kouyou openly arguing with Mori's decision, lacking that mentality that is shared between pm operatives that Mori's plans are infallible and there's no point in questioning them (just think about how sure, confident and even smug Chuuya was about Mori's plan during the Guild arc, chapter 22). Chapter 43, Kouyou spending “half a year's worth of founds” to attack a government van, which I can guess goes against what Mori wants for the pm (lol) and once again just shows how Kouyou... Freely bosses around and does whatever she wants, answering to no one.

With this I'm not saying Kouyou doesn't care about Mori. She DOES care about Mori, she just doesn't in a “subordinate is loyal to their superior” kind of way. She cares about Mori, the thing is that she does because she chooses to and not for any other constraint, which arguably makes her the person that is closer and most loyal to him?? Because she has no second means for being loyal to him, and just does that because she wants to, which makes her loyalty the truest, most authentic one. And Mori knows that, and that's why she deserves to be the next pm boss, and I know they (authors) will never make her but she deserves it and she's the pm boss of my heart end of conversation.

Headcanon time while we're at it, I like to think for Kouyou to address to Mori so informally and familiarly is a way to make up / compensate for the trauma she underwent with the previous boss. When Mori killed the previous boss, she swore she would have never lived in fear again, and even though she ultimately decided to stay in the darkness, it's now her choice; a choice she personally and freely makes despite being aware of potentially, realistically being able to leave at any moment. Addressing Mori as he was her equal is a way for Kouyou to remind to herself about how free and unbound she is.

About Mori and Kouyou, I like to think they had this siblings-like relationship since before Mori became boss I mean, they canonly go cherry blossom sighting together. I like to think a very small, subconscious part of Mori killed the previous boss because Mori held resentment towards him for hurting Kouyou- but that's definitely straying too far alcbdklzbdkskxbks. I like to think Kouyou wanted Kyouka in the pm because she genuinely believed that under hers and Mori's lead Kyouka could be happy, that the pm was the place that most would have welcomed Kyouka, welcomed what Kouyou believed to be her nature.

"Here's your hazelnut latte," Taehyung said with a smile, setting the customer's drink on the counter. Instead of taking it, the guy hovered awkwardly in place. "Anything else I can get you?"

"How about your number?" He asked with what was probably supposed to be a smooth grin. It wasn't. Tae internally sighed before pasting his customer-service smile on and producing the answer he had been giving since his first month at the cafe.

"Oh wow, that's really flattering! Thanks, you're really cute, but unfortunately my heart already belongs to someone."

It was a simple response, but one he had perfected to achieve maximum results. Compliment them and tell them they're attractive so as not to bruise any fragile egos. Give a reason for rejection that implies they would have had a chance otherwise. Girls and guys alike swooned at his loyalty to the supposed owner of his heart. It was the perfect defense. And if they reacted poorly, well, it wasn't like that type of person was a real loss as a customer.

However, lately the statement was starting to feel less and less like a lie. Involuntarily, his gaze trailed to the corner of the cafe. You were sitting there with an empty, long-since forgotten coffee mug, scribbling into a notebook. You looked up as if sensing his attention, and when your eyes met his heart gave a happy little stutter at your smile.

"Oh, her."

The customer had followed his line of sight, and Taehyung was glad that his skin was tanned enough to hide his blush. Lately, he had found his gaze landing on you more and more. Something about the guy's tone bothered him, but he was saved the effort of asking what he meant by the boy himself.

"I don't want to be the one to tell you this, but you know she's messing around behind your back, right?"

Taehyung felt his hackles rise at the derisive tone in the customer's voice, though a small, baby monster in his heart demanded to know who and how. It had first awoken that Festa weekend, at your unfortunate (in many ways) admission during Never Have I Ever. Combined with the prior knowledge of your most recent relationship, he had wondered if anyone had ever really treasured you the way he did.

I could do it, the creature had whispered insidiously. I could make her feel special.

The next day, the baby monster had grown, fed by the idea that you and Hobi had fallen into bed together. He didn't know why the thought bothered him so much. He loved the both of you, and his older brother would definitely treat you the way you deserved. But he couldn't deny the relief he had felt when discovering it was a misunderstanding. You had made it clear that first night that you weren't interested in anything other than friendship with any of them. That had been fine - smart, even. But the thought that you had rescinded that initial declaration for Hobi and Hobi alone had made him feel… jealous? Left out? Neglected?

Stop being an idiot, Taehyung scolded himself. Love isn't a finite resource. Her caring about someone else doesn't make your bond any weaker.

The customer apparently took his silence as an invitation to continue.

"I get it, she's really cute, but it's not worth it. She's constantly around other guys, like that Jimin dude. I think she's playing both of you."

The critter relaxed and went back to sleep. So this guy just saw you with other people - likely his roommates - and assumed you were messing around with all of them? He supposed they were all pretty affectionate with you, especially the younger half, but he did not appreciate the disdain in his gaze.

"Oh, I think you have the wrong idea," Taehyung said with a tight smile. "It's not like that. She's actually just one of our good friends. We all live together, you've probably been seeing her with our roommates."

The customer's eyebrows shot up.

"She lives with that many guys? Damn, so she just fucks around with all of you?"

He was starting to get irritated at this guy's judgemental tone. Actually he was far past irritated at this point. You weren't the type of person to toy with others' emotions like that. And even if you were fucking a hundred people, this idiot had no right to talk about you like this.

"It's not really any of your business either way, is it?" Taehyung finally countered, smile completely gone. Fuck getting a tip, he just wanted this guy to leave.

"Geez, I was just trying to help. Well, let me know if you ever come to your senses."

The customer left, and he sagged in relief, though annoyance still simmered in his veins. It was kind of ridiculous how quickly he had gone from feeling jealous about Hobi to feeling righteous indignation at the thought that you shouldn't be allowed to hook up with whoever you wanted. Then again, he was realizing that he had a hard time regulating his emotions in general when it came to you.

"You okay?"

Speak of the devil. You had left your table to check on him, clearly concerned by his interaction with judgey-mcjudgeface. Your presence eased some of the tension in his chest, and he felt flutters replace the irritated bubbles. He tried to summon the smile back onto his face, but you could evidently tell it was forced, because you reached across the counter to rub his head. Taehyung wanted nothing more than to bury himself in your arms, but he contented himself with lacing his fingers in your free hand.

"Tae? What's wrong?" Your eyes were warm, and the clear affection in them drew purrs from his heart-creature.

"Will you stay until I close?" He asked instead of answering. "I want to go home together."

Your laugh was music to his ears, and the monster in his chest grew ever larger as it eagerly devoured the sunlight in your smile.

"Of course, anything for you."

He was a total goner.

~~~~~

You smiled fondly as you watched Taehyung sweep the floors. He had expressly refused to let you help, so you were pretending to work on proofs while watching him out of the corner of your eye.

Just what had that customer said to him earlier? You had seen happy Taehyung, petulant Taehyung, and grumpy Taehyung, amongst many others, but that hard look on his face was completely new. What exactly had the guy said to make your friend look so uncharacteristically pissed?

You hadn't pressed when he deflected, and the way he had relaxed at your touch made your insides melt. When he so sweetly asked you to stay, you had been powerless to resist. How dare he have the audacity to be that adorable?

Finally, he was done with cleanup. By the time he locked the door behind the two of you the sky was a dusky purple. You closed your eyes and inhaled the fresh air, feeling energized by the beautiful evening. When you opened them again, Taehyung was gazing at you with an unfamiliar glimmer in his eyes.

For a moment it was all you could do to stare back, mesmerized by the way the dying sunlight managed to illuminate galaxies in those dark, hypnotic eyes. Then you came to your senses and looked away, hoping it was too dim for him to notice the blush creeping up your face.

Get a hold of yourself, you thought sternly. You've got it bad enough without adding another one to your thirst list.

It was Mina's fault for giving form to the vague affection that had begun swirling in your chest. That had to be the reason you were imagining the specific twinkle in his eyes that only seemed to appear when he looked at you.

When you managed to meet his gaze again, the strange look was gone and he was wearing that warm, familiar smile. Which was just as dangerous in its own way, but it was at least an expression your heart had already developed calluses against.

Taehyung was quiet for the first couple minutes of the walk home. When he finally spoke up, his question surprised you. And made your stupid overactive imagination go into overdrive.

"Are you seeing anyone?"

It took you a moment to register the question, and you paused to formulate your answer.

"Not right now," you finally admitted. "Between you guys, Mina, and schoolwork I'm pretty happy with life right now."

You had another, unmentioned reason for why you currently had zero interest in relationships. Growing feelings aside, you were pretty sure that any prospective suitor would be less than thrilled with the amount of physical affection you displayed with all of the housemates, and you were definitely not ready to give that up. The level of skinship, whether between the boys, or the boys and you, was something you hadn't experienced before and you loved every moment of it.

Well, there was also the fact that it was unlikely anyone you met in the near future would even measure up to them. But hopefully that wouldn't be the case. Oh god, were you going to grow old a lonely spinster just because you couldn't get your head out of your ass?

"Awww [y/n], you're the best," said Taehyung happily, tackling you in a hug and rubbing his nose into the top of your head.

"Ugh don't do that, I didn't wash my hair today," you complained, embarrassed but secretly pleased when he completely ignored you.

Idly you wondered if any of the guys was seeing or interested in anyone, before forcibly stopping your line of thought. It seemed unlikely - they rarely brought anyone over, and with the amount of time they all spent together wasn't conducive to a healthy relationship with anyone else.

Either way, it was none of your business. In a way you'd rather not know - any definitive confirmation that they were single would only give you false hope and serve to make your growing affections more dangerous.

The walk home was pleasant, if quiet. The weather was perfect, and the warm breeze told you summer would be here soon. With finals screaming towards you with the intensity of a thousand of the boys' scariest fangirls, you hadn't taken the time to stop and enjoy the scenery. So when you spied a bench on the way, you slowed and tugged Taehyung's arm, wanting to enjoy this rare moment of peace.

Being the big, clingy baby he was, you fully expected him to snuggle against you. What you didn't expect was for him to throw his arms around you and bury his face into your neck.

"Aw Tae," you cooed, stroking his hair. He looked up at you and you froze, drowning in the deep, dark pools of his eyes. Why was he looking at you like that, like you were his entire world? You couldn't handle this right now, not when your walls were already cracked and crumbling from the extended siege of a war the boys didn't even realize they were waging.

That realization doused you with an icy mixture of disappointment and relief. Taehyung wasn't treating you in some special way - he was just being his normal, lovable self. You were the one reading into things as if you were a high schooler who believed Cosmo tips like "if he looks at you and sneezes, that's his body's involuntary way of saying he's in love."

Ugh. Maybe you couldn't stop yourself from getting too attached in a more-than-friendly way, but you weren't going to inflict them with it. They had enough to deal with without having to feel guilty about not returning feelings you weren't supposed to have in the first place. That you yourself had told them wouldn't occur.

To distract yourself, and because you weren't sure how much longer you could handle those gorgeous eyes without doing something you'd regret, you pulled away slightly and ruffled Taehyung's hair.

"Do you want to talk about that guy earlier?" You asked, and he stiffened.

"What about him?"

"It just seemed like he upset you," you said, worried by your friend's tight smile.

"He just said some things after I turned him down," he explained, smile fading into a small frown. You forced yourself not to put out a hand to smooth the small wrinkle in his brow.

"Ah, one of those," you said in understanding. Why couldn't some people just handle rejection gracefully? Poor Taehyung. "It must be hard to be so beautiful."

"You tell me."

Your mind went blank. You hadn't been expecting that. Especially not coupled with those bottomless eyes and the same undecipherable expression you had seen earlier.

"Haha, very funny Tae," you deflected uncomfortably, trying to stave off the hammering in your chest. It was unfair what just a look and a compliment was doing to you.

"It's true," he protested. He straightened, and his next few actions made your adrenaline spike so high they might as well have been in slow motion.

He cupped your cheeks in his hands.

What is he doing? What is happening?

"You're perfect, [y/n]." He leaned in, resting his forehead on yours.

Ohmygodohmygodohmygod.

And then rubbed the tip of his nose against yours.

Is this a fucking nose kiss? Wait these are supposed to be lame why does this feel so nice?

Before you could physically react, he pulled away and stood up.

"Let's get going," he said with a soft smile, holding out his hand. Speechless and mind still reeling, you took it. God you were so whipped.

You were so preoccupied with your thoughts that you didn't notice the tender glances Taehyung stole your way, or that your hand stayed in his for the remainder of the walk home.

The Perfect Day

Inspired by this picture and @lma1986 thank you for the idea!

An: I'm trying a new writing style and trying my best to be more descriptive. Let me know what you think is it too much?

When you were a child, you wanted a life in the countryside surrounded by furry friends. You envisioned a farm where you could cultivate crops and nurture a variety of critters in a cozy barn. Your heart desired to be surrounded by a pack of loyal and loving dogs and other animals you could care for.

As a wide-eyed eight-year-old, you excitedly shared your dream job with your parents: a singing veterinarian. Your passion for animals and music intertwined to create a vivid vision of your future filled with joy and purpose.

You got the veterinarian part down, and you got the countryside home that you wanted, but you decided to leave the singing part to your lovely boyfriend, Jamie.

It was always a treat to hear him belt out a tune, and you couldn't help but smile when you caught him serenading the cattle in the barn. His love for nature was evident in his gentle demeanor and interaction with the world around him. You found his compassion toward all living things both inspiring and beautiful.

You often wondered about Jamie's future. An image of him playing with his kids in your shared house made your heart melt with joy. He would make an excellent father and teacher, passing on his knowledge and skills to the next generation.

"Darling?" You hear Jamie's voice call from the open screen door. "There you are." He steps out onto the deck. You hear the floorboards creek as he walks toward you. He stands beside you, leaning against the railings overlooking the stunning view. You notice him mimicking your actions by placing his elbows on the rail and resting his chin in his hands. "Beautiful, isn't it?" He remarks.

You couldn't agree more, "It truly is."

"I was talking about you, but the view is nice also." He lets out a chuckle.

You feel your cheeks flush with warmth as you smile at him, redirecting your gaze, giving him your full attention. The sunlight hits his beautiful blue eyes, making them sparkle like diamonds. His toothy grin is contagious, and you find yourself being mesmerized by him. Your fingers trail along his face, and he leans in, capturing your lips in the gentlest of kisses.

He slowly pulls back, and his eyes are still filled with adoration. "I have a surprise for you," Jamie reveals with a mysterious smile.

Your eyebrows shoot up in surprise. "Oh?"

"Would you like to see?" He sneakily grins. "We'll have to walk down to the barn, but I promise it will be worth it."

You nod, "I'm both excited and worried."

A comforting smile graces his face as he extends his hand toward you. "Don't fret. It's something you've wanted for a long time." Jamie says in a soothing tone. You interlock your fingers with his and follow his lead as he guides you down the path surrounded by lush trees. The shade provides much-needed protection from the summer heat.

As you walked along the trail, your loyal golden retriever Milo trotted alongside you. You felt a sense of gratitude towards your furry companion for his loyalty and willingness to keep you safe. Milo's nose worked tirelessly as you continued, picking up scents of the other animals that had passed. Suddenly, you arrived at a barn, and Milo eagerly awaited you with a wagging tail.

"You're such a good boy." You bend down in front of the retriever, letting him know how much he is appreciated; you give him a good scratch behind the ears. "Stay." You tell him while Jamie opens the barn door.

Your breath catches in your throat as you lay your eyes on not just one but a pair of stunning horses occupying a single stall. Your mouth gapes, and you take no time rushing to them, leaving Jamie in the dust. As you approach the majestic, midnight-colored horse, you can feel your heart racing with anticipation. You reach out your hand, slowly running it down its snout, feeling the warmth of its breath on your skin. "Oh, my goodness," you whisper in awe. "You're so beautiful."

Your attention is drawn to another stunning creature nearby, a pure snow-white beauty, and you can't help but gasp at its magnificence. "Wow," you whisper, barely able to contain your excitement.

Jamie approaches you with a proud smile, and you can't help but feel a surge of happiness. "How'd I do?" He ask eagerly.

You can hardly contain your enthusiasm as you wrap your arms around Jamie, overcome with emotion. "I love it!" You exclaim. "They have saddles... does that mean what I think it means?"

You can feel your heart racing with anticipation as Jamie confirms your hopes. "Yes, Love. It does," He says with a smile. "Are you ready?"

"More than ever." With a careful hand, you unlatch the door to the stall and step inside, ready to lead the black horse out. Jamie is there beside you, offering assistance as you take a cautious step forward. It's a bit of a climb to get out of the stall, and you feel a little uneasy at the height, but you push the nerves aside. You've done this many times before, after all.

Once the horse is out in the open, you take a moment to appreciate her beauty. Her coat is a deep, rich black, and she looks up at you with curious eyes. You reach out a hand and stroke her neck, feeling the softness of her fur under your fingertips.

Jamie takes the lead. It's clear that he's done this many times before, and it's reassuring to have someone with experience by your side.

As you and your three companions navigate through the dense forest, you eventually reach a gravel road that ascends a towering hill. Jamie sticks close to you, while Milo seems to take charge and lead the way. The sun is beginning to set, and you can't help but feel that the view will be breathtaking once you reach the top.

"Look at you," Jamie chuckles, "You look sexy!"

You giggle, "Stop it!" and tighten your grip on the reigns out of nervousness.

You are relieved to be on your feet when you reach the top. You notice a gentle breeze brushing against your face. As you turn around, you see a soft blanket on the lush green grass waiting for you to settle in. It's as if Jamie had planned every detail to perfection.

You observe Jamie fastening the ropes around the tree's sturdy trunk. Your mind is put at ease, knowing your new friends will be kept safe and secure in this environment even if they get startled. "Perfect," Jamie declares before returning to your side, where you can simply unwind and admire the view of the sun setting over the horizon.

As you snuggle up to Jamie, you feel the warmth of his body against your back. His strong arms wrap around your shoulders, and he affectionately rests his chin on your head. "This is the life." He murmurs.

However, you can't help but feel that something is missing. You gather your courage and admit to Jamie, "I was thinking that maybe having some non-furry children would be nice." He leans in and kisses your temple, silently acknowledging your desire for a family. "We'll get started tonight."

How do the Enhypen members perceive Sunoo ? (I loved your reading of aespa perceive Giselle, so I hoped you would do it in sunoo.. Thank you!! 🫶🏻

disclaimer: my knowledge of enhypen is limited. my readings might be inaccurate because of changing energies and misinterpretation.

~ enhypen’s thoughts/perception of sunoo ~

heeseung: the lovers rx, ten of pentacles rx, six of cups • three of cups

he finds sunoo as someone who’s hard to communicate with. they might have different point of view about idol life - one of them might think the idol life isn’t worth it unless you gain enough good salary to live, or even more. however, i don’t know if heeseung thinks sunoo is that person, or heeseung thinks sunoo is too much into the idol life and perhaps heeseung himself might think in this way.

i do think they know each other for really long time. although i believe he likes sunoo and doesn’t hate him at all, it’s just that they have different opinions about some things. and if he’s introverted behind the cameras, it makes sense why it’s hard to communicate with sunoo.. or sunoo is just really that stubborn with his point of view idqk

jay: queen of swords, king of pentacles, the tower rx • king of swords

he sees sunoo as someone who’s loyal, loveable and at the same time guarded, careful and treats people how he thinks they deserve to be treated. jay sees sunoo as someone who deserves everything he received in this idol life (the positives of it). jay knows he’s very generous and loves that for him.

however, jay sees sunoo he’s distant and lacks communication. it’s obvious he wants to get to know more about sunoo.

jake: knight of cups, queen of cups, two of pentacles • the chariot

the most positive perception yet! jake sees sunoo as someone who’s really, really great person.

he sees sunoo as a strong person who’s actually really nice, really wonderful.. is jake attached to sunoo? because it makes sense why jake thinks kinda romantically of him. someone who’s that perfect, huh?

he also sees the struggles sunoo has, and he is there for him when sunoo needs jake.

sunghoon: two of wands, five of cups rx, king of cups, page of pentacles, knight of swords • eight of swords

like jake, sunghoon thinks very positive of him. i can see he also likes sunoo a lot, and supports him no matter what.

i feel he also know what sunoo might’ve been through till now, and he knows he’s better than before.

sunoo is worth of sunghoon’s loyalty! is sunghoon someone who has hard times to find friends who are genuine with him? because i feel sunghoon’s picky. he would love to get sunoo’s better version of himself and would work on their friendship.

the bottom card though.. i see he will remain passive of his future actions towards sunoo. is sunghoon shy? is he afraid of sunoo?

jungwon: the empress, ten of pentacles rx, eight of pentacles • knight of pentacles

i can see he thinks positive of him. like he thinks positive about him: he really loves and appreciate sunoo. he sees sunoo as hardworking, chill person who’s dedicated to the idol life. i wonder if he thinks sunoo should chill a bit about the idol work and rest. with genuine intentions, of course. apparently sunoo is just that much dedicated to the idol life.

niki: five of cups rx, the hanged man, the fool, death • the emperor

i see niki also thinks sunoo is better person than before. however, he’s patient. i think they have different personalities to match each other. i think niki’s testing the waters before .. not approach, but rather talk to him at least casually. it’s just that one of them is too dominant for some reason.

i think sunoo might have difficulty to get better with the half of enhypen. he’s closest with jake. could be good friends in the future with sunghoon and jungwon if sunoo gives them a chance. with niki and heeseung however i think sunoo might not want to get close to them. they might be too different. and even sunoo might know heeseung for longer time, it feels like sunoo closed the door for them. with jay is so and so and idqk if he could be closer with sunoo. at least in my honest opinion.

What are some sweet things 80’s and Old Man Terry would say to beloved?

-”I won’t bullshit you. I consider myself a...as say they, connoisseur of the finer things in life. Yeah, I enjoy a good car or two. Good wine. Suits. A nice view. And you. You’re one of the finer things I own. The finest. All of this? It’s worth shit next to you. Would you believe that? Because it’s true.”-

-”Of course they’re all staring! I mean, look at you! Everyone else is a piss poor excuse for beauty in this city, except for you --- and you’re all mine.”-

-”When you reach my particular age, your focus clears. Life boils down to essentials. Boils down to a big beachside house and the good company of someone who you can tell anything --- and you know me. Inside out. You know what and who I am. I think that’s something. More than you know.”-

-”No shit you need to be treated! Who do you think I am!? If I say you deserve it, you deserve it! I don’t care what you say!”-

-”Is it wrong that I’m pissed off!? That I didn’t know you sooner? Because I am, and if I wanna fucking drink to drown that crap, then I’ll drink to drown that crap and if I’m perfectly clear, I don’t think all the Whiskey in that cellar will cut it, my dear.”-

-”When those bad memories come, all the bullshit and everything that’s better forgotten, you’re all there is. Did you know that?”-

-”Monogrammed, carved white silver from the Bahia emerald collection. It’s one of a kind. An old family heirloom. It belonged to my mother back in the days and it fits your finger perfectly. Had it slightly tweaked. I want you to have it. Wear it.”-

-”Of course I’m jealous! Are you crazy!? Who isn’t jealous of something invaluable!?”-

-”Look at me. I said look at me! Don’t you ever dare say something like that about yourself in front of me or behind my back ever again. Don’t do it in my company, in front of others or anywhere, ever.  Are we clear? Why? What do you mean ‘why’!? Because it’s crap and it’s all lies!”-

-”You sure know how to make an old man feel happy.”-

-”Me and John, we had a good friend in ‘Nam. A real joker. It was always us three. He went by Ponytail, because he had this thin wisp of greased up hair tied at the nape of his neck and our commanding officers always yelled at him for it to cut it off and be presentable. He never did. Died stubbornly wearing it, poor sucker. I wear it for him now. He’d like you a lot, you know?”-

-”Sit with me. I want to play you a special song.”-

-”I could keep you safe. Protected. Taken care of. In every sense.Think about it? Think about a life where they’re all too afraid to look at you? Touch you? Ever hurt you again? Where there’s nothing to be lacked for because I’ll provide everything? All I ask in return is your love Devotion. Let me do it. Let me prove my loyalty.”-

-”Yeah, I’ve seen and done pretty much all of it. Is it bad that I’m content just being here with you until the end?”-

-”Never really talked about this to anyone, but when I was a kid, I was a skinny sort. Wimpy. Scrawny. They used to call me Twig in the army. Sappy bullshit. Hated that nickname and I hated that kid. There was very little to be content about back then, but I like to imagine you were there somehow with me from day one.”-

-”Remember when I pulled up that old Ford and put on those clothes and went around pretending I was some poor asshole to mess around that Larusso kid a few years ago? Yeah. Those were the days. Sometimes I still think about that. Think about us just being, hopping into that car and getting the fuck out of here.”-

-”C’mon. Read to me. I need to hear it in your voice.”-

-”You make me feel young again.”-

The Soldier’s Bow

Okay so I got an inspiration spree with @gayredshoe ADORABLE Huntlow post soo, here’s my personal take to their hc, go read theirs as soon as it’s done tho! 

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

It has been a couple of months since the Day of Unity and Hunter had to admit that life was... pretty great now! Covens were dismantled so witches were starting to use different types of magic, he was slowly recovering from his life at the castle with Darius, Eda and Raine as guardians AND HE HAD FRIENDS NOW! So yeah things were pretty good.

It had taken him a while to learn all about this "friendship stuff" but he was getting the hang of it now! When he gave gifts or did stuff to help his friends and family he was showing how much he appreciated them! So, naturally, that's what he've been doing on the last few weeks: getting some human cube for Gus, helping Luz repair her tadagochi? thing she used to talk to Amity, taking care of Puddles for Viney, etc...

However, no matter how hard he looked he'd never seen to find something good enough for his captain! His Captain... Hunter couldn't help but smile at the thought of the most amazing witch in the Boiling Isles. She was brave, strong, beautiful, powerful and even with that she was the kindest person he'd met! She was the first witch who showed him unconditional kindness without knowing who he was, the first who'd ran to 'save him' from Kikimora at that fight at the Blight Factory, the one who didn't care who he was made after and also she had this amazing sparkling eyes... 

aaaand he was getting off topic... Again... thanks to the weird feeling on his chest he always had when thinking about the plant witch.

Anyway... here he was, at the night market looking for something worthy enough for his captain, which at the moment was... absolutely nothing. How could this place called itself a respectful illegal market when nothing here seemed to make an amazing mind-blowing gift?!

Then... thank the Titan he FINALLY heard someone talking about a rare plant called The Soldier's Bow, which was so beautiful that "anyone would be the happiest witch on the Isles if they were gifted it". That was perfect! And, he remembered seeing something about that plant in the confiscated papers Raine took from Terra Snapdragon's office great! So he immediately left to the owl house to start his research.

The next night, when everyone was asleep, he took Flapjack (who had been given him a smug smirk ever since he told them about the gift for some reason) and took off to the Hand, which is the place where the plant grows according to his research. Thinking about what he'd seen his research only made him more excited to do this. Sure he was going to have to fight a beast but it was worth it! The plant literally means loyalty and devotion! And it has soldier on the name! Which is a bit ironic considering he once was a soldier, although he didn't read past that, whatever else but wasn't important, what was important is that this was the exact gift that Willow would love and that showed how much he has thankful for having her as a friend (although the word still gave him some uncomfortable feeling when using it with her but not with Gus, hmmm weird... but not important right now, he had to get that plant as soon as possible!)

After what felt like hours, Hunter was happily sneaking back to the owl house, he wasn't hurt (badly) and he didn't even have to bribe Hooty or anything! Telling him about the plant was enough for the bird tube to smirk (why was he getting that recently?) and start gushing about setting for him nice clothes to look perfect to ask Willow tomorrow. He didn't understood a lot of Hooty's mannerisms and he was keeping the secret of the gift so he could let the demon be weird for tonight.

The next day at Hexide felt like an eternity but he'd managed to do everything in his list:

a) sneak his gift to his backpack without anyone in the house noticing it

b) look presentable enough (with the help of Flapjack and a bit of Hooty)

c) not act suspicious around Willow during classes (although he did stare a bit but he was just too excited!)

And finally: d) finishing the Flyer Derby practice without telling anyone about his surprise (okay maybe he did tell something to Gus but he was his best friend so the secret was still safe)

So, just before the Captain dismissed everyone for the day he ran to his backpack leaving everyone a bit confused, but it was fine they'll figure it out soon enough

"C-captain wait!" He put the bow behind his back and ran up to the rest of the team "you okay Caleb? Do you need something before we end up for today?" "Uuuuuuuh" dang it why did she looked at me like that? I forgot what I was gonna say! Oh no they're staring Hunter SAY SOMETHING!

"I just.. wanted to give you this!" And so, just like the drawing he saw on his research, he bowed a little to give her the pot with the plant. He instantly relaxed when she took it and with one her bright smiles thanked him for it, perfect!

However, she then frowned a little bit after looking at it closely Titan had he damaged the plant? Why was she making that face? Skara, Viney and Gus looked to be holding their breaths, what was happening?

"Hunter?"

"Yes Captain?"

"Is this a..."  oh! she must me in disbelief for such a rare gift he thought, so he puffed a bit his chest and with the best Golden Guard persona confidence answered:

"A Soldier's Bow? Ha! Indeed it is Captain! I know they're pretty rare and the beast did gave me a good fight for it, but only the best gifts for my favorite witch you know!"

His answer seem to have shocked Willow as her cheeks were turning red and she just looked between him and the bow, what an excellent choice he made! he mentally congratulated himself until Viney interrupted his train of thought.

"Aren't you a bit too young to be asking that?"

Hunter couldn't help but to turn to her with an indignant gasp "Ask? Viney for Titan's sake Willow is my friend! I would never give her a gift to ask for something in exchange!"

Realization seemed to hit Skara who muttered "ooh he doesn't know. Man! I was just getting excited" 

Don't know what? Excited for what? Gus seemed to be about to combust but seeing the distress and the current awkwardness he took a deep breath and focused on Hunter

"Hunter..  dude, what do you think the Soldier's Bow means?"

"Pffft obviously admiration, devotion and loyalty! The witch at the night market said it herself, anyone would be lucky to be gifted one because that means someone wants to spend all their lives with them, and Willow's the best captain ever! Of course I would want to spend all my time following her leadership!"

"Aaaand?"

"And what?"

"Didn't you read anything else? Like the story behind the name?"

"It had a soldier, which is kinda funny because of my past with the coven but nah, I didn't read anything else, why?"

He didn't expected what happened next, Skara started making what Luz called "kettle noice" which sounded more like the school bell screeching, Viney put her hand on Skara's mouth and facepalmed with the other, Gus was just staring at him as he'd grown another head and Willow was getting redder by the second, muttered something to her plant and as soon as they made eye contact she looked away, what was going on?

Gus seemed to show mercy for him so he answered his mental question:

"Bro the Soldier's Bow is given by witches as a marriage proposal, the Soldier in the story behind it fell in love with a princess and fought tooth and nail to propose to her... with this plant"

"M..marriage proposal?" Had he just asked the Captain to marry him? He was too young for that! Wait.. that's why Viney said so.. oh no! he had just accidentally proposed to Willow in front of the Entrails! He had to fix this!

"Haha very funny Gus! I-I didn't mean to ask Willow to marry me!" Shoot! wrong answer Willow seems upset "N-nOt thAt I wouldn't marry the Captain! I mean who wouldn't?!" He... didn't mean to say that either! although... NOT NOW BRAIN  "you know what? This was SUPER stupid so how about I take that plant and we never speak about this again?!"

"NO!"

The attention of everyone shifted to Willow, who seemed to just realized she'd spoken put loud, she hugged tighter her pot and nervously laughed

"I mean... you obviously worked super hard to get this! And it's pretty! Not that you're not pretty I-uh I mean it's an amazing gift! and it would look great on my garden! So I'm just gonna... keep it?"

Hunter felt his breath missing and Willow must've noticed because she then clarified "Just you know! not. as. in I'm accepting your proposal right now kind of thing but maybeifyouaskmelaterinafewyearsI'llsayyes?"

LATER LATER LATER  was everything his mind was screaming right now so he barely noticed Willow standing up in her tiptoes kissing his cheek and messily taking Clover

"He he anyway... oof! it's getting super late! And my dads are waiting for me so... SEE YOU TOMORROW ORMAYBENEVER OKAYGOTTAGOBYE!"

He's not sure how long he stood there holding his cheek and looking at the spot Willow left empty a while ago but a scream that sounded a lot like Skara saying "I CALL BRIDESMAID!" brought him back to reality and he too zoomed away with Flapjack as fast as possible.

Later that night, in two houses on the opposite sides of Bonesborrow two caotic scenes could be heard at the exact same time:

On the Owl House, Eda and Darius were laughing as if he'd told them the best joke ever, Luz was crying and hugging him while screaming something with Hooty about "planning the wedding", Raine was awkwardly patting his hair in an effort to console him in his embarrassment, and Hunter... he was wondering how long would it take him to escape to the human realm and start a life where no one knew him, he would miss Willow and whatever she ment by asking her later but he could always come back to see her and... Titan he had it bad hadn’t he?

Meanwhile on the Park household Harvey and Willow were trying to bring back to consciousness her other dad who as soon as he heard a boy gave his little girl a Soldier's Bow screamed, attempted to go to the owl house to murder him himself and then fainted in shock.

Although Harvey knew that what got his husband to faint was not the amount of force Willow put to stop him and explain it had been a mistake, but the way she smiled and her cheeks tinted pink when she unconsciously glanced to the picture of her dads wedding during the mentioning of this 'Hunter boy' but, unlike his husband he couldn’t help but think this was a very cute detail and that if Willow seemed happy, he was okay with Hunter too they’ll just have to wait and see what happens

77. We’re in this together. 

78. Can I have this dance? 

79. Look, I know you’re a hardass but can you play with my hair? It would really help. 

80. No! Stay away from me! Stay back! 

81. Maybe if you actually stop staring at her and talk to her, you might have a chance. 

82. You have to promise you won’t fall in love with me.

83. I know that face. That’s your I’m-upset-with-you face. 

84. I think we’d make this a fair fight if we each had a gun. Don’t you think, boys? 

85. He loves you, you know? He’s just afraid of admitting it.

86. Dear Lord, please have mercy on my soul. This woman/man will be the death of me. 

87. There are other things than Germans that can kill you. 

88. What the hell? You are supposed to hate me!

89. Why do you like me?

90. "You’re annoying.” “You love me.”

91. Wanna go to hell together? 

92. I lack the vocabulary to describe you.

93. You make me feel… you make me feel.“ 

94. What the fuck…?

95. So that’s you, the girl/boy who destroyed armies. 

96. You’re my regret.

97. You better not die on me! 

98. Can you stop shouting at me?!

99. Why are you making this so damn hard? 

100. But that’s the problem, (name). I don’t think I’m able to stop loving him/her. Ever. 

! UPDATE !

101. There is no way you’re going anywhere with him, not on my watch.

102. “You know you’re in love with her right?” “Since when?” “Since always.” 

103. Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t do this.

104. I love you, I do, but you’re a real pain in the ass.

105. Is that my shirt?

106. Neither one of us is drunk enough for this conversation.

107. I think I might be falling in love with you.

108. What are you talking about? You’re married!

109. I saw that. You just checked me out.

110. Quick, pretend you’re talking to me.

111. I just wanted to hear your voice.

112. That was, by far, the stupidest thing you’ve ever done.

113. No. The moment you saw me as a bet was the moment you fucked up.

114. "It could be worse.” “You aren’t the one bleeding.” “Look, you’re still alive. Stop whining.”

115. Are you naked under that thing?

116. “Are you flirting with me?” “You finally noticed?”

117. What the hell were you thinking?! 

18. You’ve been drinking tonight, haven’t you?

119. Well, if I told you, then it wouldn’t be a secret.

120. Is it weird that was a total turn on?

121. That was the worst joke I’ve ever heard.

122. If I kiss you right now, I won’t be able to stop.

123. What did you just say?

Yandere!Teru x gold digging reader~

~headcannons ; they/them used

disclaimers!!: swearing | mentions of murder | threats | mild stalking

if you are a regular follower I'd like to say, no I will not give you an answer on why this has suddenly appeared on my Tumblr and yes there are more to come shh

🌸 request by @mikeyelistsukasa 🌸

it was always an amazing thing to have Teru buy things for you. but lately he'd been offering when he's seems under a hitch

not that he hasn't always jumped to giving you everything you wanted.

but the red stain under his sleeve was something he didn't answer but merely said that he has too protect you and that he loves you. not that you gave a shit. this man has money.

Teru earlier that morning whilst he was "conveniently" coming by your classroom and overhead someone giving you a hard time over dating him

how he felt awful Y/N had to endure this! Teru couldn't stand it. so he casually walked in a called for you. you hurrying back with a wip of the hair

how much Teru needed to stroke your hair at that moment

it would calm the urges untill he could get that student alone. he took a nice look at the guy and knew he could never forget who had been so horrible too his dear.

he had to protect you, it was in his blood. it was something that was just right.

he knew you would feel the same

you had too, Teru was made for Y/N after all.

despite this Teru could never get his darling in trouble, it's best they don't know.

after you had to go too your locker for something Teru said to be careful and that he had something to attend too at the moment

you're a little frustrated at those words, what could be more important then you! oh well maybe he'll buy you something later.

Teru calmy going across the hall to get that fucker who dares disturb his darling.

after he found him at the roof top he comly asked to speak to him.

after he got to an empty classroom it was all over

his disgusting blood was everywhere.

Teru was so worried for you at that moment. this mf loves you so much and is constantly worried

that's why he had too.

he knew where you were so he quickly hurried off.

he is always by you after all. he has too keep you safe no matter what

(didn't mean to get a little off track of headcannons anyways)

Teru buys you anything you want!! this man pays for everything and anything you get.

he'll buy you gifts that you didn't even mention to him only talking to your friends about it(not that you have many friends anymore)

he "conveniently" found out and surprised you with it!! how much you love jewelry, but Teru didn't have much of an eye for jewelry.

he'll buy you stuffed animals all the time, but you think it's a bit childish. but Teru can't help but see you as someone so precious.

once five people went missing after you talked to them in the first week you and Teru started dating.

this man is the farthest thing from clumsy but he isn't the best at clean up :( but he works super hard for you!! because he knows how much you value cleanliness.

he'll get a jewel embedded with his own blood and loyalty :) don't ask

he thinks everyone you choose besides him is not worth your precious time. but he knows how much you value doing whatever the fuck you want.

and he'll even lend you money whenever you need it! ^^

just don't make up excuses that get him upset. you can just say you want some loaned too you<3

OKAY THATS ALL I KNOW THIS ISN'T REALLY MY THING BUT I HOPE IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH

HELLO, LADIES, WORMS, HOMOSEXUALS

As we know I check the novacaine tags daily.

NEW. GOD. COMPLEX. UPDATE.

GO READ IT HEEEERREE: god complex

WHY YOU SHOULD READ THIS FIC:

YOU WILL CRY

Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers! Spoilers!

"Callum knew it was going to hurt. Perhaps he knew from the beginning. Ever since he let himself get used to Tristan, he knew it would hurt him. Someone like him could never get used to someone. He could never get used to anyone staying in his life. He could hold up the act of royal all he wanted. Pretend that he was a royal because he was born into it. But deep down he’d always know that all of it was fake. And no matter how hard he ignored the headaches and pains now and then. He could kid himself into thinking people liked him, that he was worth appreciating, to begin with. But it would never be true. Nothing would ever be because he was worth it. "

I'M GOING TO CRRRRRYYYYYYY

"Although he hadn’t really figured out how yet. He would not let them down. Not after everything. It wasn’t loyalty per se. It was more of a debt that he had to pay. He did order them around without any actual authority for at least two years. He’d make sure everyone in the palace would be cared for. He’d probably have to steal from the actual royals for it. But nobody could blame him for that. The monarchy was way too wealthy, to begin with."

iT'S NoT LoYaLtY GuYs iT'S A DeBt i sWeAr

THEY ARE YOUR BEST BUDS CALLUM!!!!

"And when you’re someone who can make anyone do anything, someone having agency and still choosing you is the biggest fantasy there could ever be."

TRUE FACTS CALLUM

My poor little meow meow...he wants people so badly....

(THE WRITING IS AMAZING)

"'You know if you wanted me to take you out for lunch you could have just asked, didn’t have to fly this far for that,' Callum teased. He wasn’t prepared for the way Tristan flushed at that. It made something possessive and intense flutter in his chest. He pushed it down as far as it could go."

NOOO CALLUM DON'T PUSH IT DOWN!! NOOO CALLUM!

“Ahh yes. I like it deep,”

*dies* /pos

"Slowly but then with icy clarity, it hit Callum. He felt something for him. More than just physical attraction. As Tristan talked and ordered him a drink, Callum just wished for the moment to last forever. He wished for them to be like this. He wished for Tristan to keep talking to him. Keep touching his leg. He wished for Tristan to kiss him when they weren’t fucking."

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSS

"Callum hated the fact that he liked that. He liked making people afraid. And he hated that he liked it"

Callum: I like making people afraid.

Me: The precious little baby boy he's so sad, why don't you hug him, Tristan?

"Tristan followed her gaze just in time to see Reina run into his arms. She threw his arms around his neck and Callum returned the hug just as eagerly. He pressed his face in the space between her neck just like he’d done to Tristan before."

THEEEEEMMMMM <3

“Ugh. You’re just like Callum. Forgive me for saying nice things.”

“You’re forgiven.”

“Oh fuck off.” 

Me: Guys I swear Callum and Tristan are my favourite duo

Me, when Nico and Tristan are friends:

“With your pace, maybe,”

“Not everyone is constantly rushing, Rhodes.”

“I thought gay people walked faster.”

“I’m not even gay, you know that. Can’t say the same about you, huh?”

“I’m not gay either!”

“Something a gay person would say.”

“I am in fact gay,” 

I LOVE THESE GUYS SO MUCH

"Callum was in love with him. He was in love with him. 

Callum was in love with him and Tristan just let it happen. Just went with it because he thought he was hot. What kind of horrible person does that?"

MY HEART </3

“I can’t leave him,”

“You can,”

“I don’t want to,”

“I know,” Libby replied. Both of them seemed to know that whatever Tristan wanted to didn’t matter."

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME /POS

“Christ, you asexual nightmare. Never delivering on the gossip.”

True facts about asexuals can confirm

“I ask myself the same question every day. I thought maybe it was a phase. Thought it would go away on its own. But then I talked to Parisa. She told me that she had seen you. Told me you were doing well. And I hated her for it. I wanted to be there. I wanted to see how you were doing. I wanted to see your stupid stubborn face.” 

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

“You can stay. Let’s start with one night.”

IT'S SO BITTERSWEET??? I LOVE ITTTTTTTT!!

I LOVE IT!

SO AMAZING!!!!!!

MY HEART IS GOING TO BURST!

Spoiler Alert : Finishing Little Women

Proceed at your own risk - you have been warned.

Last night I finally got to see the last episode of Little Women and boy oh boy my first impression was correct. This series is dark and unrelenting from start to finish. The sisters, especially the oldest two, don't catch a breather until right at the end of the last episode.

I guess not unexpectedly given the title and the supposed homage, the series is satisfyingly female centric. All of the actresses are given space to establish and develop their characters from the sisters themselves to the formidable great aunt with a hidden past to the mysterious, mostly presumed dead, Jin Hwa Young.

Kim Go-Eun as Oh In-joo provides the beating heart of the series. A character whose every emotion, however fleeting, is reflected in her expression. She wants to provide for her family and is tempted by the "easy" money that comes so unexpectedly into her hands. Her goal is to raise them from poverty. Poverty here, meaning not only a lack of wealth but a brand of relative worth which the rich have promoted and is now fully accepted by society. It's a tactic not exclusive to the elites of South Korea. Sometimes the social comment in kdramas only serves to bring the reasons for growing inequality elsewhere in the world into sharper focus.

Nam Ji-Hyun as Oh In-Kyung is the tireless fighter for truth and justice who will take on typhoons but who is swept away by the tears of broken families. She is self accusing and fragile which leads her to numb her senses at the bottom of a vodka bottle. However, once she gets her teeth into the story, she is relentless and agile. So many obstacles and threats had to be faced and overcome in order for the truth to be finally revealed.

Park Ji-Hu as Oh In-hye and Jeon Chae-eun as Park Hyo-rin wonderfully express that love, care and fierce loyalty that comes with an adolescent best friend relationship. How fitting that they should escape the madness of the blue orchid together. Their closing scene on the ship in Episode 10 when they know they are finally free was beautiful and uplifting.

Finally, Uhm Ji Won was an eye opener as the gleefully manipulative and malicious Won Sang-ah. To the last her murderous tendencies are flamboyant and theatrical so much so that her James Bond villain ending seemed only fitting.

Overall this series was unexpected and ultimately very satisfying and a nice counterpoint to Extraordinary Attorney Woo which I saw earlier in the year. What shall I watch next?

My Forged Wedding Tamaki Kikushima Review

Spoilers Ahead...

I reviewed him in the past and its weird I really didn't like him but while coins were half off and the sales were on for his story I bought it. Original Review This is based off the 6 stories of chapter 1

Season 1 Prologue, Main Story, His POV, Epilogue, The Proposal, & The Proposal Epilogue.

So he is a bit of a cocky asshole he is tsundere being more tsun than dere for sure. I think when I reviewed it before I really wasn't captivated by tsunderes much and now I find myself loving them because the care and honesty with loyalty in the that comes from this is what I love in a man. Yeah so he is an asshole for awhile at least you know most wont want him so you will have him all to yourself more.

It was cute to see him grocery shop with you for the first time and how cute he was laughing and not a total ass for once. Then after blowing alot of money he still took the time to donate. Kinda like when he spent time feeding the ducks. He has a hard shell but he is worth pushing past. I know I didn't think so before but I'm really glad I kept going I even bought his epilogue which really shows you a sweeter side of him. Also what the hell another hot guy that says good girl... I think this scene did it for me for sure.

He is a dirty boy he can be very sexual at the same time which not gonna lie with the way he looks this could be so much of a good thing in his story. He does say things sometimes that still come off edgy and the right kinda woman could handle him and put him in his place but she would definitely have to give it back to him when he dishes it out. He is a special kinda special when it comes to the fact he hides all his feelings in words like it takes the epilogue to even say I love you. He says other sweet things just not it. He says it because he prefers to show you his love every time he kisses you or you have sex. Don't get me wrong actions speak louder than words but women do like to hear it sometimes.

I will say he unlike most tsunderes never loses his edge like he will do something nice for you then tell you took his time now you gotta make it up to him. Its useless banter even when he is smiling at you teasing you getting you worked up for nothing. In the proposal it broke my heart how crushed he seemed when he was filling out the marriage license and you have to turn him down due to his family drama he walks away tearing it up hurt and you can tell he wants to marry you even if its only been weeks yall been around each other. He also likes to whisper things like I only need you kinda things without you able to hear.

He has a hard time opening up and being vulnerable its like he knows two ways to be snarky and cocky or seducing and sexual. When it comes to matters of the heart he didn't grow up in a family that showed much emotion so he had no idea how to truly give it. At one point people in the rich community want you out of Tamaki's life and I swear this man melts my heart irritates me alot but he really does have a heart of gold he just doesn't want people to see it because he gets hurt. He even stands up against people that think you shouldn't be with him for money. He is the guy who will reprimand you for doing something reckless and tell you its because he cares but then hold you close running his fingers through your hair. He is dominant yet kind, harsh yet loving. He is the guy that will love and protect you fiercely. I have to say I was so wrong about this man but it does take several stories in to see it is why, definitely more of a slow burn.

HAHA Even his star wars reference is hilarious. I really do like this man now and all his ups and downs out of all of them he is the most real. Like I feel like he could be the rich boy that lives near you that hates he is rich and is bitter to the world because no one showed him love. Then when he meets you little by little you warm his heart and put in place when you need to.

Then there is the grandfathers party and every talks down to you like you don't need to be there and that he is stupid for wanting a commoner. Wait until he gets pissed he makes it very clear how he feels to everyone of them about he chose you and if they got a problem with you then they have a problem with him. OMG so wasn't expecting it however this is what I usually love about most tsundere's their loyalty and protection is there it just took Tamaki a little longer to get there there. He looked so sexy standing up for you in front of all them stuck up rich people.

Then there is the stepbrother that actually tries to rape you and Tamaki breaks through the room and I swear if you didn't talk him down he would have fuckin killed the dude but then still makes it clear he would go to jail after killing him. I was like OMG Tamaki sweet, sexy, stubborn, annoyingly cock, tsundere, Tamaki is a hero that will kill someone for his girl, who will burn the world for the woman he loves. He is now one of my favorite men of the My Forged Wedding now.....!!!!

I also can't forget the way he keeps you behind on this big cruise ship for a sweet rendezvous with him champagne included when he proposes to you. Its not the most romantic but at the same time coming from this man it really is because I have to say he isn't a man of alot of words but his actions shows you he will love you til his last breath. I even love he gets to a point he breaks down and tells you he is scared he will lose you and that he refuses to let people talk about you after your his wife even more. He says he wants to be the only man to touch you and he is about erasing your past with others. I will say its one of the spicier stories of voltage and especially of My Forged Wedding.

One of the sweetest things is he proposed to her 3 times in 3 different locations each one being more romantic than the next. He even had her original ring broke down by his grandfather and made into matching rings they made the diamond for her and then a matching band for him. Like I would have never seen him as the guy that would have matching bands its so damn sweet. I'm sorry I ever doubted this sweet man for being a slow burn but I'm so happy to be heading in to chapter 2 how amazing he is and how I think he has grown to be quite a guy.

The scenes below were some of my favorite that shows he will not let anyone hurt you or talk shit about you.

So here is to the sexiest naughty boy who is romantic, protective, jealous, possessive, and loves you with everything he is. He is willing to lie, cheat, or kill for you this is a winner in my book. Also on my list of men from this game he is probably number 2 so now its Haruka, then him (Tamaki), Yamato, & Saeki.

@aicidos , continued .

  “  right. and you believe i mistook you for the kiss and tell type ?  ”

  he rolled open, carefully, the parchment in which fódlan’s extent was immortalized. oftentimes, when he had more time to spare, he would take the time to admire the way age had taken its toll on it, the bleeding ink and accidental wax spills on its corners acting as mountain ranges. past leaders had left their mark, and khalid wondered how the blurring—yet not complete erasure—of borders would fit it. for that prospect to even be worth entertaining, however, he would have to deal with the matter at hand.

 rather, the man sitting just beside him.

  “  nobles being assassinated isn’t new, nor exclusive to the empire. i’m not so much concerned in whatever affairs you’ve had there as i am interested in your familiarity with the terrain. i’ll take whatever gets me the upper hand, and shortcuts are part of it.  ”

  at times, khalid questioned the fullness of his own plate, and if baekmin would be the element to topple it. the rare gambles he took, if risky enough to call them that, were always carefully measured, but this ?  he was aware of that volatility of his, painfully so, and a part of him would like to rest assured his loyalty was a given.

  but it wasn’t, and it could never be.

  “ believe it or not, i think of you as a friend, but the reality is, you are my ally first and foremost.  ”  the reminders baekmin so graciously afforded him, be it intentionally or not, kept him grounded, his voice shifting into something severe, but not any less disappointed. tired, perhaps.  “ if these limits of yours mean withholding information necessary to stop this senseless war as soon as possible, then it’s no longer a mutually beneficial contract. i trust i don’t have to spell what that means moving forward.  ”

baekmin chokes on a peal of laughter.   this is why he likes khalid so much :  he’s funny,  no matter how dire straits are.   “   not the type to kiss in the first place,   ”   he answers agreeably,   “   but you’ve always been wise to my tricks.   there’s no fooling you,  it seems…   perhaps i’ll have to step my game up.   ”   his words betray a viewpoint contrary to one someone with his position at khalid’s side should have,  but then again,  isn’t that the way they both like it?

min rises to his feet for a better angle to view the map from   —   his previous seat had been perfect for his focus on the matter of flirtation,  of pushing khalid’s buttons to see what he’d do in response to each prod and nudge,  but it no longer suited his purpose.   then,  after having cast a sweeping glance across the map and familiarizing himself with what information khalid held,  cross-referencing the notes jotted down upon parchment with those that lived in his head,  he proceeds to press down on a corner of it before shifting his weight onto the table,  taking care to leave a sliver of space between himself and the map.   from here,  he finds,  he has much better sight of his true goals.   (  khalid,  he means.  )

“   an ally and a friend,   ”   he muses thoughtfully,  counting every tell,  each sign of tiredness on khalid’s countenance and wondering how many came to be because of him,   “   no room for lover in there,  von riegan?   who knows,  if you have my heart,  you may even have my loyalty.   ”   he knows better than to offer it outright,  the balance of their game of tug-of-war hinging on his elusive offering of such,  but he does so love dangling the offer before khalid.   he can’t help it :  it’s always nice to be wanted.

he laughs,  essentially dismissing the question as a joke,  and gives khalid a reassuring pat on the shoulder.   “   well,  since you’re kind enough to leave the assassination thing well enough alone,  of course i’ll help.   i’m far from done with you,  after all.   now,  where should we begin…   ”
